Speaker 3 (00:32):
Some last video shopping. Who doesn't like last minute shopping?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well gone in not beginning of another night of the
Benmallards Show.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
We are in the air everywhere, cranking up the old boombox,
as we say, in darkness, we find our true bliss coast,
the coast, sploider, the border and beyond.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
On the vast and humongously.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Powerful microphones of fs are ammundating live from the line,
the assembly line of hot tanks. We are broadcasting live
from the tyract dot com studios. Tyract dot com will

coming up later this hour we'll have a bit of
news for the.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
P ones, the fans of the show.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I'll tell you about that. I'm not gonna spoil it
right now. Also, it is a newbie night. Hooray for
newbie night, hooray for newbynight. Yes, normally we have the
same five people that call every night, and one of
them falls asleep, one of them complains about this, that
or the other thing, and then the other ones are marginal.
One's usually pretty good. But that's the nightly fair here,
(02:01):
that's what's on the menu. But tonight it's newby night.
Now that means we might have no one calling. That
means no one might call because we have no new
listeners or no new callers. Now, the listener and the
caller are two different things. I'll explain all this later,
but it is a newby night, so that means I'll
give out the number. And if you're somebody that doesn't
normally call because you're intimidated by hollering James snoring or
(02:25):
Mark the full name guy screaming like a.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Lunatic, you can go down the big board there. This
is your night.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
This is your night here, and congratulations, by the way,
to Alf the alien of Piner, who was the employee
of the month. He was a little late yesterday to
the show, but Alf among the paid callers. Alf gets
the he's not a caller, he's a social media contributor.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
But he was a little late.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So he ran some gassers after the show, and so
he's back in the good graces. But our lead this
out no more grab ass.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
We go to the vine.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
We go to the Gray Vine and submit interesting developments
regarding the match game, the transaction game. If you have
been following along, you know where I'm going, but possibly
not a player that continues to be in the twilight zone.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Has there been some progress here?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Now?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
All of this goes back to the Washington football team
that traded away a former first round wide out, Johann Dotson.
They didn't want to drive the Dotson anymore, so they
dumped him off there in Philadelphia and NFC East rival.
We have an intra division trade. Something doesn't smell right.
(03:41):
You don't get trades like this. Well, now we're hearing
is it true that that deal, the deal between the
Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles was a four shock
and that the Washington football team is in a race
against time. They're back in the game to grab forty
(04:03):
nine or wide out Brandon Ayuc, the disgruntled pass catcher
by the Bay.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Let us discuss the question you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Buy or sell that the Commanders are back as a player.
For Brandon Auck, my thoughts, I've got James Bond Yo
yo and biological clock will combine all of these things
together and try not to make you sick to your stomach.
(04:35):
So ay to answer the question, are you gonna buy
or sell the Commander's back?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
And I'm buying it? Okay, yes, I'm buying it. I'm
not to buy it because I'm a talk show host.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I'm buying it because there's something here reading the room
the Commanders. Why are they gonna get rid of a
first round wide receiver from a couple of years ago
and then send him to a division opponent.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Now you could argue, I think the guy and all that.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Maybe that's true, but they have a young quarterback who
needs someone to catch the ball.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
And if you look at all of.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
The circumstantial evidence here Brandon Ayuck and the forty nine
ers at Loggerheads, he rejected the mating dance by the
Patriots didn't want to play for the pats They're back
to be the Patsies, God forbid. He goes to the Browns.
He wants nothing to do with the state of Ohio.
And a week ago he said or he didn't say it,
but people around the situation said it was between staying
(05:31):
with the forty nine Ers or going to the Burg
and hanging out with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Now neither of those scenarios has happened.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
The standoff continues, crank up the drama, and the plot
has now thickened because Brandon Ayuck does not really want
to be the fourth option in San Francisco. If you
look behind the curtain there, he would be that, at
least for the short term until they start moving some
other players around. And he doesn't seem all that jazz
(06:06):
to play with that suckbag quarterback room with the Steelers.
So could it be that a bromance is behind this?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Is that? Why? Is that? Why nothing has happened?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
This is some James Bond level stuff. Brandon Iyuk his number,
his new number, double seven. Is he manipulating the situation
to be reunited with his former college buddy at Arizona
State Jaden Daniels. Oh, it's feels so good. Keep an
eye on this.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It's developing hot dot dot dot. Now we move on.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
To the exhibition world. We go to Cincinnati, where a
practice game between the Horseshoes and the ben Gals took place.
A bunch of backups. It was a yawn fest, even
with the venerable Al Michaels calling the game for Amazon.
You know, Al was very happy when the Amazon executive said, Hey,
(07:07):
you gotta go go out to Cincinnati and eat some
chili and call a Bengal cult exhibition game.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Who goofed? I've got to know. Nevertheless, what is the
story here? All right?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I got to say, It's not a long winding road.
It's not that complex. It's sports radio. So the story
here is quarterback Anthony Richardson, who has been ripped apart
for his performance in the final exhibition game. And the
question has to be asked, is Richardson a problem.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
For the Colts? And I am nodding my head yes.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Now, not just based on this particular game, but Richardson,
for better or worse, is a pre existing condition going
into the season that Indianapolis has a fixer up, a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
That's what they have.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And you need not just paint. It's not just a
little trim here and paint over there. No, Anthony Richardson
is foo bar in many ways, that is the soft
underbelly that is going to shadow box the Colts all year.
Richardson is like a carnival act. He's a human yo yo.
(08:25):
He's up and he's down, he's all around. He's the
epitome of a feaster famine player at this point and
this game, and I was flipping around, but I watched
the beginning of it, the game that was played on
Thursday night, and it was really a preview of coming
attractions because without the bucket of popcorn, Richardson started out
and looked like he was playing for the Florida Gators
(08:46):
and they were playing some directional school. As he led
Indy on a twelve play eighty yard drive, he had
one in completion and that was that was a drop pass.
The next possession he tossed a pick six. So welcome
to the funhouse. Not for the squeamish or the feint
of heart watching Anthony Richardson play quarterback for the Colts.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
It is an issue that division. You look around there.
There's a lot of.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Mediocrity, a lot of mediocrity in that division. One of
those team is going to rise up and stand atop
the mountain.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Right, last word.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Here we head to the Bayou, and that's where Derek Carr,
on the shores of the Mississippi is attempting to change
his sour puss reputation. You might remember last NFL season.
You probably didn't watch the Saints very much unless you
happen to live in that area. But he was a
(09:39):
very difficult teammate. He had bad body language and openly
expressed grievances publicly with the Saints as a talk show host.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
We loved it. Apparently those that work for the team
did not. So Derek Carr, the old Raider, now in
New Orleans for another year, has.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Let the world be known that that he has undergone
a metamorphosis. That's right, Derek Carr has adopted a quote
yes man approach to everything.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
He's instructed his wife to not.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Decline any any invitation, any request from a Saint, a
teammate there for his time. He said that he found
himself overwhelmed with numerous activities since this new policy. So
what is your reaction to Derek Carr adopting a yes
(10:34):
man approach, whatever it takes to.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Bond with his teammates there with the Saints. So Derek Carr,
here's my theory.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
The reason he's doing this is because he knows his
biological clock as a starting quarterback in the NFL is
ticking away in New Orleans, and if this does not
work out, he can become a backup. But the idea
that somebody else is going to allow Derek Carr to
start seems far fetched. Right, that's a humdinger of a tail.
(11:08):
So right now he's eating pickles in a desperate attempt
to curry favor with his teammates.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Carr has been attending organized.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Cookouts, game nights, barbecues with random teammates. He's gone golfing,
played a bunch of pickleball. This all sounds absolutely horrible.
It's like the things you would do at a Russian gulag.
And no matter how much here's the kicker, though, no
matter how much pickleball and poker you play, it's not
(11:38):
going to change the fact that the Saints' roster is a.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Mid level roster. It's a mid team.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
So you can have the greatest chemistry. I hate that
word because I covered the nineties Clippers who all loved
each other but couldn't play basketball. So I know it
doesn't matter. If you're good, you're gonna win. And you
might not win as much if you don't like each other,
but you're gonna have success. And if you suck, it
doesn't matter how much you hang out together and drink
(12:04):
beers and go on vacation together, you still blow when
it's all said and done.
Speaker 2 (12:10):

(13:08):

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Sparks coast, the coast, Sport.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Be sly.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
This hour is from the Pacific Northwest. The team we
don't often talk about, why would we usually blow We
have a late season shake up in Seattle, and I
knew what happened because I heard this loud cry coming
out of the Pacific Northwest.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
It was crying Craig, who was just devastate. How could
this happen?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But if you didn't hear, by some chance, maybe you've
been out of the loop, d loop.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Bad job by you.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
So we learned that manager Scott Service is out of service.
He has been decommissioned by the Seattle baseball team. The
Mariners have said bye bye to Scott's service. He's been
pole axe to everyone to say it. He's out now.
Dan Wilson very generic name, but if you're an old
school baseball fan, you know who that is. He was
(14:43):
a longtime catcher for the MS back in some of
the glory days, if you can say that for a
team that hasn't won a championship, but back when the
Mariners were consistently a playoff team, he was part of
some of those clubs.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
And he has been a.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Figurehead in the minor league the system, a coordinator, which
is a nice way of saying it's a no show job.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
You get paid a lot of money not to do much.
So he's going to be the interim manager.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I heard that Edgar Martinez is going to join the
coaching staff. I heard as the hitting coach. I'm not
sure if that's confirmed or not. Anyway, it doesn't matter.
The company line is the removal of Scott Service. We
just needed a new voice in the clubhouse. So let
us discuss the question did Scott's Service get a raw
(15:31):
deal from the Mariners? So I've got as Tech, Mike Rowe,
and Midas Touch. We'll combine all these things together and
we will rush to a conclusion.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Now, No burn, I'm shaking my head. No, you can't
see me. If you can see me, you're a stocker.
This is rather simple. It is a pass failed test,
and Scott Service is in the fail category.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
The Mariners went from.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
High five in strutting around like a peacock, and then
all of a sudden right they fell apart.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
In the blink of an eye.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
And Scott's Service has become the first manager in the
history of baseball, which goes back to the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Goes back to the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
He's the first incompetent manager ever to have a ten
plus game lead in a division or league because prior
to nineteen sixty nine there were no divisions, and then
be fired before the end of the season. It had
never happened before. This is uncharted territory for the Tridents manager.
(16:49):
But the Seattle baseball team had a ten plus game
lead on June eighteenth, and they've let it all go away.
But this is what you're supposed to do, right he's getting.
Scott Service is getting the as TECH treatment, not the
San Diego State Aztecs, the old school as texs.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Is a human sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
The last fifty three games, the Mariners have lost thirty three.
They have a three seventy seven winning percentage over their
last fifty three games. So you do not have to
be a baseball savant to know that you play like
that for a couple of weeks, that's okay, You play
like that for almost two months and you get excommunicated.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
And so that's what happened here.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Now we are told that Scott Service learned of his
dismissal in the morning hours. He did not learn it
from the Mariners, though he learned it from a breaking
news alert on social media. So a couple hours before
he had a meeting, he was called to the carpet
for the incompetent GM of the Marion nurse Jerry to Poto,
(17:59):
and people are very upset. I saw some think pieces.
I saw some poetic posting about Scott's service. It's not fair,
it's not right, and while it is not ideal, it
is a sign of the times. It's not unusual players
get traded and find out they got traded. And I
(18:19):
would even say, as I relate to the story Welcome
to the Club. Years ago, when FSR decided to shake
things up, I was doing a show just like this,
and we got a story that was sent to us
from the New York Post saying that the company was
planning on.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Laying off a bunch of employees.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And then about ten minutes later, I got an email
from my boss in the middle of the overnight show,
who I never get contacted by my bosses in the
middle of the overnight show, said Hey, we have an
emergency meeting we called at three o'clock tomorrow and you
have to be there.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So I put two and two together and I knew
I was toast. My ass was out. But the Mariners,
here's the thing about it, like the only thing that
really sucks Rocks is the Mariners were more worried about
letting Ken Rosenthal and the other baseball insiders know about
the move rather than the person they were getting rid
of like that's not ideal, but that's the way this
(19:16):
all works, the industrial complex of sports. Now turning the page,
page two, we head to Anaheim. We'll stay in the
American League West, the last place Angels have agreed to
a contract extension with the general manager, Perry Manasian. Now
he's going to stick around through twenty twenty six. The
(19:39):
Angels are in last place.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
They're one of the.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Most embarrassing franchises in all of baseball. So what did
GM Perry Mnason do to earn an extension with a halos?
So I have a couple of thoughts on this. My
first thought is he must work relatively cheaply, like he
got in called that much and so okay, we'll keep
(20:02):
you around.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Why not. The other thought I have is.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
An old Mike Row show, Dirty jobs, Like that's The
Angels absolutely blow.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
They're almost unwatchable at this point.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
There's no entertainment value from watching the Angel and perryman
as in the GM, there has had not one, not two,
not three. This is his fourth season to build the roster,
to show progress that the team is heading.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
In the right direction.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Now, I actually was, I was flipping around watching I
watched them. The Angels are playing Blue Jays, and I
watched them that game, and any way you slice it,
that franchise.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Is waist deep and fertilizer.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
They are an advertisement to incompetence. And the Angels across
the now three plus seasons of the reign of the
GM there Perrimanesian have a four point fifty two winning percentage,
which isn't the worst in baseball, but.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
It's twenty second.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
And this year the Angels are the fourth worst team
in baseball and they've had four years. Now. I know
you could argue man Asians not in charge of the
minor league system, but the trades he makes trickle down
to the minor league system. So if you trade a
big league player and you get a suspect, that helps
you out in the minor leagues. The Angels are ranked
(21:34):
thirtieth in terms of talent in the minor league's viable Talent. Now,
those are speculative reports, and I'm not a big believer
in them, but you generally speaking want to be ranked
higher than thirtieth, even though I take much of that
with the grant of salt, and it is a results
based business. But the guy works cheap, and nobody else
really apparently wants the job, and so Perrimanesian continues on.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
With an absolute dog food team in Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
All right, final point, We now head to Baltimore post
mortem on the trade deadline. What did you make of
the Orioles sending Picter Trevor Rogers down to the minor leagues?
This was one of the players they acquired.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
At the deadline.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
So this and it's not just Trevor Rodgers And what
do I make of it? The front office of the Orioles.
While you give them an A for effort, you give
them an F for execution. They are guilty of trade
deadline malfeasance. You talk about the double whammy I and I.
You've got injury on one side of the aisle. On
(22:43):
the other side you have just ineptitude. The players haven't
gotten hurt. You wish it had gotten hurt. And it
is the reverse of the Midas touch. Probably know what
the Midas touch is. You've been around, you've lived your life.
Midas touch, anything you touch turns to gold. The opposite
of that would be the It's Adam touch. And that's
what they have in Baltimore. Every move they've made has
(23:05):
turned to poopy or dust. Now, what is my evidence?
We mentioned Trevor Rodgers, who they acquired from the Marlins,
has been sent to the minor leagues. Now it's it
is getting late in August, the trade deadline.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
It's less than a month since the trade deadline.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Rogers had an ERA of over seven seven to eleven,
which is good if you want a slurpee, but not
if you're a pitcher. And another starter, the jewel of
the trade deadline Zach Eflin, who came over from the
Tampa Bay baseball team. He's on the fifteen day disabled
slash injured list with inflammation in his throwing shoulder. Now
he actually, to be fair, he actually pished well, but
(23:42):
he's hurt right now. So what good does that do
the O's. Then you've got some lefty reliever named Gregory Soto.
We're not sure who that is, but apparently he came
over from the Phillies and he's allowed eight runs in
less than five innings for Baltimore. And yet the Orioles
are still in the thick of the race to have
(24:03):
the top record not only in the American League but
in all of baseball. Down the stretch we come, but
no thanks to the pickups at the trade deadline. You
talk about a high whiff rate at the deadline. It
did seem like a good idea at the time. It
did seem like a good idea at the time, But
it turns out that those trades have not produced Didley
(24:26):
squat or did Le poh, depending on which way you
want to say.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
How about that to the third degree?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
This is one big Ben gets grilled pop Daw.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
John Sterling made a guest appearance in the broadcast booth
during the Yankees game on Tuesday, and he proceeded to
voice's disappointment with the team. He criticized the team's hitting
and the poor performance of the bullpen. Sterling around to
say that he doesn't like their chances. It's benzine right
to be some pessimistic.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Well, I love this.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
John Sterling was forcibly removed from the Yankee broadcast Mooove's
eighty six I believe, Yeah, there are reasons for pessimism.
The Yankees have two guys, that's it. They got Aaron
Judge and one. So the rest of the lineup blows
and the main problem.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
For the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
And I've seen a lot of Yankee games this year
because they're usually in that early television window when I'm
watching baseball games in the early evening on the West Coast.
And the Yankees' bullpin is terrible. They don't have a closer,
Their relief pitchers stink.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
And what do you need in modern baseball to go
far in the playoffs? You need a good bullpen. So yeah,
there are a lot of issues.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
For the Bronx Bombers, even though they've got a great record.
Their bird Dog and the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Next.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Dodgers pitcher Walker Bueler was asked about his upcoming free
agency when he admitted, there's just not a whole lot
to talk about. I have a six era, I'm trying
to figure out how to get people out in the
major leagues. Free agency is for talking about when you
have a two five and you're rolling through the league.
I really don't care. Ben, do you think Buehler can turn
his career around?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Well, Ken, he yes, but he's not gonna get a
big contract.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
He'll get one of those make good with a lot
of a lot of bonuses. He's thirty years old, so
somebody will take a chance on him. But yeah, he
looks absolutely cooked. He looks like he's done. He's had
to Tommy John a couple of times. He was part
of the twenty twenty Dodger Championship team.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But he looks cooked next.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
Now, I know you've been pretty high on Bonnicks so far,
at least as much as you can be about any
rookie quarterback.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
As of right now, the over under win total for
the Broncos is set at five and a half games, Ben,
are you taking the over?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah? So this is a trick question. If I say no,
you're gonna fail me. If I say yes, you're gonna
pass me.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
There's new people listening, Eddie, not many, but there are
new people listening. Come on, I'll have more on that
on my podcast Coop the Fifth Hour later today.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
All right, well he took care of that. Uh.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
In theaters this weekend, we have a couple of a
couple of movies worth mentioning.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Now.
Speaker 6 (39:25):
First is the remake of The Crow as you Yeah,
as you may remember, this is a movie where Brandon Lee,
the son of Bruce Lee, got shot and killed by accident.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
It was the.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
It was the Alec Baldwin incident, before the Alec Baldwin incident.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Okay, yeah, he was either one in New Mexico or
was this somewhere else.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
Alec Baldwin was New Mexico, was all these things.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
This one was a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
Yeah, all right, what was it the early nineties? It
sounds right, Yeah, but he had.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
He had before before my time. He had filmed enough
of the original Crow that they could still release that movie.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
So right, Yeah, it was same kind of situations.
Speaker 6 (40:12):
Was supposed to be a prop gun, but there was
something lodged in the gun when they fired the blank
and so it shot out of the gun and hit
him in the stomach. And yeah, but this new remake
of The Crow does not have good reviews so far.
It's a twenty two percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The other
one became like kind of a cult classic.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
I don't think.
Speaker 6 (40:35):
That's gonna be the case for this one. We have
another movie coming out this weekend. This one is called
Blink Twice and it is a suspense slash thriller A
lot of big names in this one. You got Zoe Kravitz,
Channing Tatum, Christian Slater, Kyle McLoughlin, Hailey, jel Osmon, and
Gina Davis also and basically, Channing Tatum plays a tech
(40:59):
billionaire invite some people to his private island for a
party and then things start to get weird. And we'll
just leave.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
It at that.
Speaker 6 (41:09):
You can check out the movie this one. This one
does have good reviews. And while we're still talking about
the movie theaters, I want to jump back to last week.
I mentioned Alien Romulus and how I had not seen
any of the Alien movies except for the very first one.
I did go and see Alien Romulus. I liked it
a lot. I thought it was very good, exciting, good cinematography, suspenseful,
(41:36):
it was. It was a fun movie. So I do
definitely recommend that, and I'm gonna go back Scoop Steel
of approval. That's right, And I am now going to
go back and watch the rest of the Alien movies.
Speaker 8 (41:47):
I would just recommend that second one. Okay, Well, let
it's up to you. Well, I you know, obviously I'm
gonna start with that one. We'll go to the third
and depending on how bad that is. We'll determine if
I move forward.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
It's just like that guy by the thing where Godfather
Too is the best one and you don't really need
to see the other one.
Speaker 6 (42:03):
A lot of people will argue that, yeah, from the
from the research that I've.
Speaker 8 (42:07):
Done, aliens plural more action, right, and alien more like
horror in space, which I think alien Romin says White, correct.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
Yeah, yeah, I would agree. There's there's there's a good
amount of action though. All right, and moving over to television,
There's really just one thing this weekend or this upcoming
week that I want to draw attention to, and that
is Adam Sandler's first stand up special in six years.
Speaker 5 (42:34):
It'll be on Netflix, of.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
Course, all right, I'll watch that.
Speaker 5 (42:38):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 6 (42:39):
It is on Tuesday, Tuesday, August twenty from New Hampshire.
Speaker 5 (42:42):
I don't know, is that.
Speaker 6 (42:43):
Yeah, he's from New hamph Oh a nice little Adam
Sandler fun fact. But yeah, that is that Tuesday on Netflix.
It is called Adam Sandler Love You, and it'll incorporate
musical performances, so I don't know.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
Oh, he's gonna do like the song parody things.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
I don't know if that's all. That's all it says here.
Speaker 6 (43:03):
He's a great singer, like his his lyrics.
Speaker 5 (43:07):
Are just top notch. Yeah, no they are. That is
that is Coop, Scoop and entertainment.

news for the.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
P ones, the fans of the show.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I'll tell you about that. I'm not gonna spoil it
right now. Also, it is a newbie night. Hooray for
newbie night, hooray for newbynight. Yes, normally we have the
same five people that call every night, and one of
them falls asleep, one of them complains about this, that
or the other thing, and then the other ones are marginal.
One's usually pretty good. But that's the nightly fair here,
(02:01):
that's what's on the menu. But tonight it's newby night.
Now that means we might have no one calling. That
means no one might call because we have no new
listeners or no new callers. Now, the listener and the
caller are two different things. I'll explain all this later,
but it is a newby night, so that means I'll
give out the number. And if you're somebody that doesn't
normally call because you're intimidated by hollering James snoring or
(02:25):
Mark the full name guy screaming like a.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Lunatic, you can go down the big board there. This
is your night.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
This is your night here, and congratulations, by the way,
to Alf the alien of Piner, who was the employee
of the month. He was a little late yesterday to
the show, but Alf among the paid callers. Alf gets
the he's not a caller, he's a social media contributor.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
But he was a little late.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So he ran some gassers after the show, and so
he's back in the good graces. But our lead this
out no more grab ass.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
We go to the vine.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
We go to the Gray Vine and submit interesting developments
regarding the match game, the transaction game. If you have
been following along, you know where I'm going, but possibly
not a player that continues to be in the twilight zone.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Has there been some progress here?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Now?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
All of this goes back to the Washington football team
that traded away a former first round wide out, Johann Dotson.
They didn't want to drive the Dotson anymore, so they
dumped him off there in Philadelphia and NFC East rival.
We have an intra division trade. Something doesn't smell right.
(03:41):
You don't get trades like this. Well, now we're hearing
is it true that that deal, the deal between the
Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles was a four shock
and that the Washington football team is in a race
against time. They're back in the game to grab forty
(04:03):
nine or wide out Brandon Ayuc, the disgruntled pass catcher
by the Bay.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Let us discuss the question you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Buy or sell that the Commanders are back as a player.
For Brandon Auck, my thoughts, I've got James Bond Yo
yo and biological clock will combine all of these things
together and try not to make you sick to your stomach.
(04:35):
So ay to answer the question, are you gonna buy
or sell the Commander's back?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
And I'm buying it? Okay, yes, I'm buying it. I'm
not to buy it because I'm a talk show host.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I'm buying it because there's something here reading the room
the Commanders. Why are they gonna get rid of a
first round wide receiver from a couple of years ago
and then send him to a division opponent.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Now you could argue, I think the guy and all that.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Maybe that's true, but they have a young quarterback who
needs someone to catch the ball.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
And if you look at all of.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
The circumstantial evidence here Brandon Ayuck and the forty nine
ers at Loggerheads, he rejected the mating dance by the
Patriots didn't want to play for the pats They're back
to be the Patsies, God forbid. He goes to the Browns.
He wants nothing to do with the state of Ohio.
And a week ago he said or he didn't say it,
but people around the situation said it was between staying
(05:31):
with the forty nine Ers or going to the Burg
and hanging out with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Now neither of those scenarios has happened.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
The standoff continues, crank up the drama, and the plot
has now thickened because Brandon Ayuck does not really want
to be the fourth option in San Francisco. If you
look behind the curtain there, he would be that, at
least for the short term until they start moving some
other players around. And he doesn't seem all that jazz
(06:06):
to play with that suckbag quarterback room with the Steelers.
So could it be that a bromance is behind this?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Is that? Why? Is that? Why nothing has happened?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
This is some James Bond level stuff. Brandon Iyuk his number,
his new number, double seven. Is he manipulating the situation
to be reunited with his former college buddy at Arizona
State Jaden Daniels. Oh, it's feels so good. Keep an
eye on this.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It's developing hot dot dot dot. Now we move on.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
To the exhibition world. We go to Cincinnati, where a
practice game between the Horseshoes and the ben Gals took place.
A bunch of backups. It was a yawn fest, even
with the venerable Al Michaels calling the game for Amazon.
You know, Al was very happy when the Amazon executive said, Hey,
(07:07):
you gotta go go out to Cincinnati and eat some
chili and call a Bengal cult exhibition game.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Who goofed? I've got to know. Nevertheless, what is the
story here? All right?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I got to say, It's not a long winding road.
It's not that complex. It's sports radio. So the story
here is quarterback Anthony Richardson, who has been ripped apart
for his performance in the final exhibition game. And the
question has to be asked, is Richardson a problem.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
For the Colts? And I am nodding my head yes.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Now, not just based on this particular game, but Richardson,
for better or worse, is a pre existing condition going
into the season that Indianapolis has a fixer up, a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
That's what they have.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And you need not just paint. It's not just a
little trim here and paint over there. No, Anthony Richardson
is foo bar in many ways, that is the soft
underbelly that is going to shadow box the Colts all year.
Richardson is like a carnival act. He's a human yo yo.
(08:25):
He's up and he's down, he's all around. He's the
epitome of a feaster famine player at this point and
this game, and I was flipping around, but I watched
the beginning of it, the game that was played on
Thursday night, and it was really a preview of coming
attractions because without the bucket of popcorn, Richardson started out
and looked like he was playing for the Florida Gators
(08:46):
and they were playing some directional school. As he led
Indy on a twelve play eighty yard drive, he had
one in completion and that was that was a drop pass.
The next possession he tossed a pick six. So welcome
to the funhouse. Not for the squeamish or the feint
of heart watching Anthony Richardson play quarterback for the Colts.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
It is an issue that division. You look around there.
There's a lot of.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Mediocrity, a lot of mediocrity in that division. One of
those team is going to rise up and stand atop
the mountain.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Right, last word.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Here we head to the Bayou, and that's where Derek Carr,
on the shores of the Mississippi is attempting to change
his sour puss reputation. You might remember last NFL season.
You probably didn't watch the Saints very much unless you
happen to live in that area. But he was a
(09:39):
very difficult teammate. He had bad body language and openly
expressed grievances publicly with the Saints as a talk show host.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
We loved it. Apparently those that work for the team
did not. So Derek Carr, the old Raider, now in
New Orleans for another year, has.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Let the world be known that that he has undergone
a metamorphosis. That's right, Derek Carr has adopted a quote
yes man approach to everything.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
He's instructed his wife to not.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Decline any any invitation, any request from a Saint, a
teammate there for his time. He said that he found
himself overwhelmed with numerous activities since this new policy. So
what is your reaction to Derek Carr adopting a yes
(10:34):
man approach, whatever it takes to.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Bond with his teammates there with the Saints. So Derek Carr,
here's my theory.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
The reason he's doing this is because he knows his
biological clock as a starting quarterback in the NFL is
ticking away in New Orleans, and if this does not
work out, he can become a backup. But the idea
that somebody else is going to allow Derek Carr to
start seems far fetched. Right, that's a humdinger of a tail.
(11:08):
So right now he's eating pickles in a desperate attempt
to curry favor with his teammates.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Carr has been attending organized.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Cookouts, game nights, barbecues with random teammates. He's gone golfing,
played a bunch of pickleball. This all sounds absolutely horrible.
It's like the things you would do at a Russian gulag.
And no matter how much here's the kicker, though, no
matter how much pickleball and poker you play, it's not
(11:38):
going to change the fact that the Saints' roster is a.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Mid level roster. It's a mid team.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
So you can have the greatest chemistry. I hate that
word because I covered the nineties Clippers who all loved
each other but couldn't play basketball. So I know it
doesn't matter. If you're good, you're gonna win. And you
might not win as much if you don't like each other,
but you're gonna have success. And if you suck, it
doesn't matter how much you hang out together and drink
(12:04):
beers and go on vacation together, you still blow when
it's all said and done.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
This hour is from the Pacific Northwest. The team we
don't often talk about, why would we usually blow We
have a late season shake up in Seattle, and I
knew what happened because I heard this loud cry coming
out of the Pacific Northwest.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
It was crying Craig, who was just devastate. How could
this happen?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But if you didn't hear, by some chance, maybe you've
been out of the loop, d loop.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Bad job by you.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
So we learned that manager Scott Service is out of service.
He has been decommissioned by the Seattle baseball team. The
Mariners have said bye bye to Scott's service. He's been
pole axe to everyone to say it. He's out now.
Dan Wilson very generic name, but if you're an old
school baseball fan, you know who that is. He was
(14:43):
a longtime catcher for the MS back in some of
the glory days, if you can say that for a
team that hasn't won a championship, but back when the
Mariners were consistently a playoff team, he was part of
some of those clubs.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
And he has been a.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Figurehead in the minor league the system, a coordinator, which
is a nice way of saying it's a no show job.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
You get paid a lot of money not to do much.
So he's going to be the interim manager.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I heard that Edgar Martinez is going to join the
coaching staff. I heard as the hitting coach. I'm not
sure if that's confirmed or not. Anyway, it doesn't matter.
The company line is the removal of Scott Service. We
just needed a new voice in the clubhouse. So let
us discuss the question did Scott's Service get a raw
(15:31):
deal from the Mariners? So I've got as Tech, Mike Rowe,
and Midas Touch. We'll combine all these things together and
we will rush to a conclusion.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Now, No burn, I'm shaking my head. No, you can't
see me. If you can see me, you're a stocker.
This is rather simple. It is a pass failed test,
and Scott Service is in the fail category.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
The Mariners went from.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
High five in strutting around like a peacock, and then
all of a sudden right they fell apart.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
In the blink of an eye.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
And Scott's Service has become the first manager in the
history of baseball, which goes back to the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Goes back to the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
He's the first incompetent manager ever to have a ten
plus game lead in a division or league because prior
to nineteen sixty nine there were no divisions, and then
be fired before the end of the season. It had
never happened before. This is uncharted territory for the Tridents manager.
(16:49):
But the Seattle baseball team had a ten plus game
lead on June eighteenth, and they've let it all go away.
But this is what you're supposed to do, right he's getting.
Scott Service is getting the as TECH treatment, not the
San Diego State Aztecs, the old school as texs.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Is a human sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
The last fifty three games, the Mariners have lost thirty three.
They have a three seventy seven winning percentage over their
last fifty three games. So you do not have to
be a baseball savant to know that you play like
that for a couple of weeks, that's okay, You play
like that for almost two months and you get excommunicated.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
And so that's what happened here.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Now we are told that Scott Service learned of his
dismissal in the morning hours. He did not learn it
from the Mariners, though he learned it from a breaking
news alert on social media. So a couple hours before
he had a meeting, he was called to the carpet
for the incompetent GM of the Marion nurse Jerry to Poto,
(17:59):
and people are very upset. I saw some think pieces.
I saw some poetic posting about Scott's service. It's not fair,
it's not right, and while it is not ideal, it
is a sign of the times. It's not unusual players
get traded and find out they got traded. And I
(18:19):
would even say, as I relate to the story Welcome
to the Club. Years ago, when FSR decided to shake
things up, I was doing a show just like this,
and we got a story that was sent to us
from the New York Post saying that the company was
planning on.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Laying off a bunch of employees.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And then about ten minutes later, I got an email
from my boss in the middle of the overnight show,
who I never get contacted by my bosses in the
middle of the overnight show, said Hey, we have an
emergency meeting we called at three o'clock tomorrow and you
have to be there.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So I put two and two together and I knew
I was toast. My ass was out. But the Mariners,
here's the thing about it, like the only thing that
really sucks Rocks is the Mariners were more worried about
letting Ken Rosenthal and the other baseball insiders know about
the move rather than the person they were getting rid
of like that's not ideal, but that's the way this
(19:16):
all works, the industrial complex of sports. Now turning the page,
page two, we head to Anaheim. We'll stay in the
American League West, the last place Angels have agreed to
a contract extension with the general manager, Perry Manasian. Now
he's going to stick around through twenty twenty six. The
(19:39):
Angels are in last place.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
They're one of the.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Most embarrassing franchises in all of baseball. So what did
GM Perry Mnason do to earn an extension with a halos?
So I have a couple of thoughts on this. My
first thought is he must work relatively cheaply, like he
got in called that much and so okay, we'll keep
(20:02):
you around.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Why not. The other thought I have is.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
An old Mike Row show, Dirty jobs, Like that's The
Angels absolutely blow.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
They're almost unwatchable at this point.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
There's no entertainment value from watching the Angel and perryman
as in the GM, there has had not one, not two,
not three. This is his fourth season to build the roster,
to show progress that the team is heading.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
In the right direction.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Now, I actually was, I was flipping around watching I
watched them. The Angels are playing Blue Jays, and I
watched them that game, and any way you slice it,
that franchise.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Is waist deep and fertilizer.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
They are an advertisement to incompetence. And the Angels across
the now three plus seasons of the reign of the
GM there Perrimanesian have a four point fifty two winning percentage,
which isn't the worst in baseball, but.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
It's twenty second.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
And this year the Angels are the fourth worst team
in baseball and they've had four years. Now. I know
you could argue man Asians not in charge of the
minor league system, but the trades he makes trickle down
to the minor league system. So if you trade a
big league player and you get a suspect, that helps
you out in the minor leagues. The Angels are ranked
(21:34):
thirtieth in terms of talent in the minor league's viable Talent. Now,
those are speculative reports, and I'm not a big believer
in them, but you generally speaking want to be ranked
higher than thirtieth, even though I take much of that
with the grant of salt, and it is a results
based business. But the guy works cheap, and nobody else
really apparently wants the job, and so Perrimanesian continues on.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
With an absolute dog food team in Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
All right, final point, We now head to Baltimore post
mortem on the trade deadline. What did you make of
the Orioles sending Picter Trevor Rogers down to the minor leagues?
This was one of the players they acquired.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
At the deadline.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
So this and it's not just Trevor Rodgers And what
do I make of it? The front office of the Orioles.
While you give them an A for effort, you give
them an F for execution. They are guilty of trade
deadline malfeasance. You talk about the double whammy I and I.
You've got injury on one side of the aisle. On
(22:43):
the other side you have just ineptitude. The players haven't
gotten hurt. You wish it had gotten hurt. And it
is the reverse of the Midas touch. Probably know what
the Midas touch is. You've been around, you've lived your life.
Midas touch, anything you touch turns to gold. The opposite
of that would be the It's Adam touch. And that's
what they have in Baltimore. Every move they've made has
(23:05):
turned to poopy or dust. Now, what is my evidence?
We mentioned Trevor Rodgers, who they acquired from the Marlins,
has been sent to the minor leagues. Now it's it
is getting late in August, the trade deadline.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
It's less than a month since the trade deadline.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Rogers had an ERA of over seven seven to eleven,
which is good if you want a slurpee, but not
if you're a pitcher. And another starter, the jewel of
the trade deadline Zach Eflin, who came over from the
Tampa Bay baseball team. He's on the fifteen day disabled
slash injured list with inflammation in his throwing shoulder. Now
he actually, to be fair, he actually pished well, but
(23:42):
he's hurt right now. So what good does that do
the O's. Then you've got some lefty reliever named Gregory Soto.
We're not sure who that is, but apparently he came
over from the Phillies and he's allowed eight runs in
less than five innings for Baltimore. And yet the Orioles
are still in the thick of the race to have
(24:03):
the top record not only in the American League but
in all of baseball. Down the stretch we come, but
no thanks to the pickups at the trade deadline. You
talk about a high whiff rate at the deadline. It
did seem like a good idea at the time. It
did seem like a good idea at the time, But
it turns out that those trades have not produced Didley
(24:26):
squat or did Le poh, depending on which way you
want to say.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
How about that to the third degree?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
This is one big Ben gets grilled pop Daw.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
John Sterling made a guest appearance in the broadcast booth
during the Yankees game on Tuesday, and he proceeded to
voice's disappointment with the team. He criticized the team's hitting
and the poor performance of the bullpen. Sterling around to
say that he doesn't like their chances. It's benzine right
to be some pessimistic.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Well, I love this.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
John Sterling was forcibly removed from the Yankee broadcast Mooove's
eighty six I believe, Yeah, there are reasons for pessimism.
The Yankees have two guys, that's it. They got Aaron
Judge and one. So the rest of the lineup blows
and the main problem.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
For the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
And I've seen a lot of Yankee games this year
because they're usually in that early television window when I'm
watching baseball games in the early evening on the West Coast.
And the Yankees' bullpin is terrible. They don't have a closer,
Their relief pitchers stink.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
And what do you need in modern baseball to go
far in the playoffs? You need a good bullpen. So yeah,
there are a lot of issues.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
For the Bronx Bombers, even though they've got a great record.
Their bird Dog and the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Next.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Dodgers pitcher Walker Bueler was asked about his upcoming free
agency when he admitted, there's just not a whole lot
to talk about. I have a six era, I'm trying
to figure out how to get people out in the
major leagues. Free agency is for talking about when you
have a two five and you're rolling through the league.
I really don't care. Ben, do you think Buehler can turn
his career around?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Well, Ken, he yes, but he's not gonna get a
big contract.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
He'll get one of those make good with a lot
of a lot of bonuses. He's thirty years old, so
somebody will take a chance on him. But yeah, he
looks absolutely cooked. He looks like he's done. He's had
to Tommy John a couple of times. He was part
of the twenty twenty Dodger Championship team.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But he looks cooked next.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
Now, I know you've been pretty high on Bonnicks so far,
at least as much as you can be about any
rookie quarterback.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
As of right now, the over under win total for
the Broncos is set at five and a half games, Ben,
are you taking the over?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah? So this is a trick question. If I say no,
you're gonna fail me. If I say yes, you're gonna
pass me.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Five and a half's pretty well like you can win
six games and still suck. So I'm gonna take the
over on that. I believe Sean Payton will coach up
bow Nicks. He'll do what he did with Russell Wilson
last year. But Bo's actually got more ability, He's younger
and all.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
That's all. I'll go over five and a half. How
did we down? You passed this in a ship? There
you go?
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Come where we go, I gotta arrive on.

Speaker 5 (39:15):
All right, well he took care of that. Uh.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
In theaters this weekend, we have a couple of a
couple of movies worth mentioning.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Now.
Speaker 6 (39:25):
First is the remake of The Crow as you Yeah,
as you may remember, this is a movie where Brandon Lee,
the son of Bruce Lee, got shot and killed by accident.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
It was the.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
It was the Alec Baldwin incident, before the Alec Baldwin incident.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Okay, yeah, he was either one in New Mexico or
was this somewhere else.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
Alec Baldwin was New Mexico, was all these things.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
This one was a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
Yeah, all right, what was it the early nineties? It
sounds right, Yeah, but he had.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
He had before before my time. He had filmed enough
of the original Crow that they could still release that movie.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
So right, Yeah, it was same kind of situations.
Speaker 6 (40:12):
Was supposed to be a prop gun, but there was
something lodged in the gun when they fired the blank
and so it shot out of the gun and hit
him in the stomach. And yeah, but this new remake
of The Crow does not have good reviews so far.
It's a twenty two percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The other
one became like kind of a cult classic.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
I don't think.
Speaker 6 (40:35):
That's gonna be the case for this one. We have
another movie coming out this weekend. This one is called
Blink Twice and it is a suspense slash thriller A
lot of big names in this one. You got Zoe Kravitz,
Channing Tatum, Christian Slater, Kyle McLoughlin, Hailey, jel Osmon, and
Gina Davis also and basically, Channing Tatum plays a tech
(40:59):
billionaire invite some people to his private island for a
party and then things start to get weird. And we'll
just leave.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
It at that.
Speaker 6 (41:09):
You can check out the movie this one. This one
does have good reviews. And while we're still talking about
the movie theaters, I want to jump back to last week.
I mentioned Alien Romulus and how I had not seen
any of the Alien movies except for the very first one.
I did go and see Alien Romulus. I liked it
a lot. I thought it was very good, exciting, good cinematography, suspenseful,
(41:36):
it was. It was a fun movie. So I do
definitely recommend that, and I'm gonna go back Scoop Steel
of approval. That's right, And I am now going to
go back and watch the rest of the Alien movies.
Speaker 8 (41:47):
I would just recommend that second one. Okay, Well, let
it's up to you. Well, I you know, obviously I'm
gonna start with that one. We'll go to the third
and depending on how bad that is. We'll determine if
I move forward.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
It's just like that guy by the thing where Godfather
Too is the best one and you don't really need
to see the other one.
Speaker 6 (42:03):
A lot of people will argue that, yeah, from the
from the research that I've.
Speaker 8 (42:07):
Done, aliens plural more action, right, and alien more like
horror in space, which I think alien Romin says White, correct.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
Yeah, yeah, I would agree. There's there's there's a good
amount of action though. All right, and moving over to television,
There's really just one thing this weekend or this upcoming
week that I want to draw attention to, and that
is Adam Sandler's first stand up special in six years.
Speaker 5 (42:34):
It'll be on Netflix, of.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
Course, all right, I'll watch that.
Speaker 5 (42:38):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 6 (42:39):
It is on Tuesday, Tuesday, August twenty from New Hampshire.
Speaker 5 (42:42):
I don't know, is that.
Speaker 6 (42:43):
Yeah, he's from New hamph Oh a nice little Adam
Sandler fun fact. But yeah, that is that Tuesday on Netflix.
It is called Adam Sandler Love You, and it'll incorporate
musical performances, so I don't know.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
Oh, he's gonna do like the song parody things.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
I don't know if that's all. That's all it says here.
Speaker 6 (43:03):
He's a great singer, like his his lyrics.
Speaker 5 (43:07):
Are just top notch. Yeah, no they are. That is
that is Coop, Scoop and entertainment.
