writers and yeah, loves that loves that live read. So
(01:39):
I lead this hour. We're gonna start out in Lost Wages, Nevada.
I have to get all of my Malard monologues about
the Raiders out before the season beginning. I think the
Raiders actually will be better than most. I think they'll
be average. But average doesn't really move the needle in
these parts, so that's a bit of a problem. But
the Raiders do have the blessing of low expectations. People
(02:02):
down on Gardeners or just Gardner Gardner Minshew who is
QB one there not a popular pick by popular people now.
Regardless of that, we go where the stories of the
day take us the news of the day, and there's
a story that caught my attention. I thought it was
kind of interesting here, and it involves the ongoing saga
(02:23):
around Davonte Adams, the Raiders wide receiver, Davonte Adams, who,
if you believe the story now, is spitting mad. He's
very upset at a former contemporary in the NFL back
in the day, DeShawn Watson, Deshaun Jackson, not Deshaun Watson,
Deshaun Jackson. He's upset with DeShawn jacks We get Deshaun
(02:45):
Watson later, but Davante is not happy. He's not happy
with DeShawn Jackson because DeShawn went on a podcast because
nobody has podcasts and he had to say something, and
Deshaun Jackson and claimed that DeVante Adams was not happy
in Vegas, and Adams responded to that, I know you're
(03:10):
dying to hear what he has to saim is one
thing that you have to worry about and I have
to worry about in our lives and we're just trying
to make it through life, and we have to worry
about how a gazillionaire football player is handling the team
he's with. So here's what Adams muttered. He said, at
the end of the day, the facts are the facts,
and that is not a fact. I don't think, he
(03:33):
said Jack at the end of he said fact. And
here's the continuation of the quote. DeVante Adams said, I
have probably spoken to DeShawn Jackson maybe three or four
times in my life, the Raider Receiver said, and I
never had a conversation with him about this meaning this
topic ever. And I put that on my kids, wwis
(03:57):
putting his kids' safety on the line. Wow, says I've
never spoken to about anything. Adams also said the only
person he shares his public feelings with is his wife.
Maybe his wife's the one ritting out Davante. I don't know,
all right, So let us discuss the question is DeVante
Adams happy or unhappy in Vegas? All right? So I've
(04:21):
got beekeeper, espionage, and cabal, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to lay
the pavement for this male monologue. So a looking at
this logically, because you turn the overnight talk radio for logic.
If you look at this logically, there are only two
(04:44):
plausible scenarios involving these constant DeVante Adams rumors of him
being a curmudgeon with the Raiders all right. Now, Door
number one is that DeVante Adams is just depressed. He
thought that things would be different. He went there to
play with his college buddy, mister Carr, and then that
(05:07):
didn't work out, and so now they got this parade
of quarterbacks and he's upset and all that. He likes
the money, but he's not happy with the team. Now.
Door number two is that someone or a group of
people are out to get Devonte Adams that they're leaking
these stories and some of it's made up, some of
(05:28):
it's not made up, but it's old fashioned mud sling,
and after a thorough review of the available evidence, the
verdict is in or go the beekeeper. I always used
to the beekeeper when I'm trying to get to the
bottom of something. Now, the beekeeper they have a saying
(05:50):
there where there are bees, you will find honey. And
there's a fair amount of bees buzzing around Davante Adams.
If I'm hearing it, and who am I, I'm nobody
If I'm hearing this. I've been hearing this for a
couple of years. There's something there, right, There's something there
now if you look at the key indicators around Davonte Adams,
(06:12):
and those give some cryptic clues. I think will agree.
Poor body language during games, We've seen that many times now.
The counter argument is it's hard to have good body language.
The Raiders have played pretty mediocre football with Devonte Adams,
so you've got that and this kind of flummix with
the roster the way things have gone, and he would
(06:33):
rather be with his bestie Aaron Rodgers hanging out at
some diner in New Jersey. And so you've got all
these things together. But this is a subplot that is
going to shadow the Raiders for many, many weeks. They
pushed back the NFL trade deadline this year till November fifth,
(06:55):
so it's a few days later, usually on Halloween, so
it's a few days after that. And so after week nine,
after week nine, that is the trade deadline. And so
up until that point, Raiders get off to a slow start.
They get hammered by the Chargers on Sunday. Expect some
DeVante Adam noise to come up there. Devonte Adams's name
will be bouncing around. The Raiders are in contention, likely not,
(07:19):
but if they're they're sucking. If they're two to seven
at the deadline, then we got something all right. Now,
page do we go to the DMV A tabloid like
story here the Commander's a team that has a temporary
name or the embarrassing. So they have suspended a vice
(07:40):
president you have never heard of for derogatory comments that
he made allegedly on camera. Now, a woman we don't
know who, she was working undercover for James O'Keeffe's Project Veritas,
and went on a couple of dates with a gentleman
(08:02):
who works for the Commanders, a VP of content. His
name is not important because you don't know who he is.
I don't know who he is. But they went out
on a date and a couple of them and this
lady he was recording everything for posterity's sake, and she
recorded this cat saying that the NFL players, I'm gonna
(08:23):
give you all the big ones here. There's more to it,
but I'll give you the big ones, the big pillars.
So this guy said over dinner or drinks that NFL
players are homophobic, That you and I, as fans of
the NFL are mouth breathers. We're alcoholic mouth breathers. So
we've got that, and that all the social justice slogans
(08:49):
and all the cute little sayings and the commercials and
all that they've been doing the last couple of years
are insincere. That they're doing it to make money. Now,
what is your react choice, What is your reaction to
the non descript Commander's vice president being suspended over his
candid camera commentary. So I want to point out before
(09:13):
we get into this This is akin to going to
Churchill Downs and hitting the trifecta good afternoon, good evening,
and good night and all of that. And he called
out the NFL. He just summed it all up to
someone who at the time he didn't really know who
(09:34):
this person was. Obviously, otherwise he would have realized he
was being recorded. And he called out the NFL for
being a complete fraud operation while working for the NFL. Now,
how do you think that went over with the NFL?
Of course, And this is the oldest trick in the
book espionage via the honey trap. The honey trap is
the way to go. This guy is flapping his gums
(09:56):
trying to impress this woman and now he's cooked. Right,
he'll never work in the NFL again. And the spin doctors,
the crisis management team for the NFL, was activated, and
the same old song and dance just like it reminds
me of when the NBA had Tim Donnahe and he
was gambling on NBA games and David Sterm, the commission
(10:20):
at the time, said, well, he's a lone wolf. I'm
already seeing some of that onlines. Well, in the NFL
leaking this to their usefuet as well as guy. This
is his own opinion. He's a lone wolf and all that.
I would argue to stay tuned because from what I know,
and I don't follow this stuff that closely, I'm in
the toy department over here. But from what I've seen
in the past is I remember usually when they come
(10:42):
out with all of these candid videos, it's not just one.
There's other people that are also recorded, and they wait
a couple of days and then they leak up some
other videos. All right, last word, here we go now
to Phildelphia the Eagles. They open up on Fret with
the Packers. That game is in Brazil. It's on Peacock
(11:06):
that there's something else on Peacock that I like a lot. Anyway.
Former center Jason Kelsey recently said that he is not
sure if the fact that he's working for the Eagles,
he has a ambassador role for the Eagles, is an
issue with his television work. So how do you see
(11:27):
this one? Kelsey seemed confused that there could be some
kind of issue here. So Jason Kelsey, let me help
him out here. I know he's bathing in the money
from Taylor Swift thanks to his brother but this is
absolutely a conflict of interest. He's compromised. Jason Kelsey's compromised.
(11:50):
He's getting a check to commentate to critique NFL players
while at the same time being paid to only whispers
sweet nothings for the Eagles. However, it's perfectly fine because
this is not the federal government. It's the NFL. The
NFL's run like a cabal, and in the caupball, you're fine.
(12:13):
There's no separation of church and state in the NFL.
They're all united under the same umbrella. That's why I
was so fugazy the talk to Tom Brady. If he
ends up getting the Raider ownership deal, we'll have to
leave Fox or vice versa. If he wants to stay
at Fox, he can't do the Raider thing because everyone
is in cahoots with everyone else. They're all under that
(12:35):
same umbrella. They're in the same basket, and they're in
bed with each other, and that's just the way it operates.

Let's get social. Well kind of well come. In the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show. We
are in the air ywhere Adjason as we drive down
Moonlight Lane, coast, the coast, border, the border and beyond
(13:39):
on the mast and splashly powerful microphones of fs are
emmating live from the eye the Eye of the Hurricanes.
We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios tyraqt
dot com. We'll help you get there and unmatched election,
(14:01):
fast free shipping, free road haz their protection and over
ten thousand recommended installers tyreq dot com the way tire
buying should be. It's fair to say that Milkman, Mike
and Colorado got over ten thousand steps when he ran
a seven k recently that finished in the Broncos Stadium.
(14:22):
That's pretty cool. That's a boss move. So our lead
this hour, coming from the coaching department, the Hoodie has
revealed that he wants every possible job in media, every
possible time. He's made some dramatic lifestyle changes, going from
the Patriots to media Hack and if you haven't heard
(14:47):
the latest year, well this is a dramatic, dramatic change,
a quantum leap, you could say, perhaps you missed it.
Legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick is now on the gram. Yep,
He's on Instagram. He is, or insta face, as he
(15:10):
likes to call it. Bill Belichick, who for years publicly
criticized and took shots at social media, now, all of
a sudden, here he is. Bill Belichick made the announcement
on the YouTube Show with Pat McAfee. There but wait,
there's more. But wait, there's more. Belichick his first Instagram story,
(15:33):
which was always but you always remember your first? I
always remember your first. So Belichick's first Instagram story was
a repost from his twenty three year old girlfriend, a
lady named Jordan Hudson. I don't know who she is.
I've seen a lot of photos of her. So Belichick
reposted like he knows what he's doing a photo there
(15:55):
that she had posted of the Patriots coach petting a
goat at the United States Naval Academy. Now, while they
have been photographed together, tabloids in the States and in
London have shown photos of Belichick and his young lady
friend there, Belichick had not publicly confirmed or acknowledged the
(16:17):
relationship was legit that they have consummated the relationship the
twenty three year old Belichick and the seventy or the
twenty three year old girl there and the seventy two
year old Belichick at that reverse there, Yes, the seventy
two year old Belichick and the twenty three year old lady.
So let us discuss the question, all right, why now,
(16:39):
why has the former Patriots coach Bill Belichick started an
Instagram page? Now? Why the timing? So I've got Robert Irvine,
Jello and Bunker, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a creampuff
which Bill Belichick can eat as many as he wants
(17:02):
because he's living the life right now. So Na Burn, Yeah,
it's all part of the grand master plan for Bill
Belichick's kind of obvious at this point, Bill Belichick looking
to change the narrative. What was the argument against Belichick? Now,
the Atlanta Falcons should have hired him. They screwed up
(17:24):
and hired Raheem Morris. That's fine, they should have hired Belichick.
They didn't hire him. The main argument against Belichick was
that he's a fuddy duddy, he's out of touch with
young people, that he's the game has passed and by
life has passed him by. That was the ardin. And
Belichick is now counter punching. He's fighting back, throwing some
(17:46):
punches here, and he's going Food Network style. The way
I look at it, this is an episode of Restaurant Impossible.
And Bill Belichick was metaphorically has turned a celebrity Robert Irvine,
celebrity chef Robert Irvine, and to try to help turn
around his reputation, his rep get him some cred, come
(18:09):
on reputation as an old dude, and curmudget and all
that stuff. And they only have a couple of days here,
ten thousand dollars budget. I'm sure drama will ensue, right,
And so this renaissance, attempted renaissance of Bill Belichick is
being meticulously choreographed down to every word. And now, if
(18:32):
you don't believe me, go over to Belichick's Instagram page.
There was a video that he posted which was heavily
edited and much of it likely redacted from what he
originally said. It seemed when I watched it that Belichick
was being fed each line and then they had it
edited together. It was like a tapestry or a quilt
(18:53):
that they were trying to sew together of Belichick using
all these lines that PR people were sending. And so
I get it. Belichick wants to coach again. He's desperate
to catch Don Shula and take Shula out of the
record book. And so he's willing to do things he
would have never done. Never clown around with Pat McAfee,
(19:14):
I play grab ass with Peyton Manning on Monday Night Football,
publicly flirt with your young female fatale, all of that, right,
and now he's on social media. He's a proud sugar daddy.
Good for him, all right. Now, page two, we go
to Cleveland, where Tom Brady will be making his debut
(19:35):
for Fox the Browns and the Cowboys. On Sunday and
Deshaun Watson, who will be playing quarterback in that game
for the Cleveland football team. He said recently that he
has no doubt, no doubt that he is still an
elite quarterback. And he was asked about the low expectations,
(19:56):
not many people buzzing around the Brownies and he said
that is quote fine with us. So what is your
verdict on the latest rhetoric coming out of Deshaun Watson.
So the first thought I have here is like, what
are you supposed to say? You don't control the noise?
Right when you have people kissing your ass, you're upset
(20:18):
by that. When people aren't kissing your ass, you're upset
by that. So fine with us? No, you're not fine
with it. You want people to say that you're one
of the top teams in the NFL and to use
the I guess the example I will use to the
Browns with Deshaun Watson, and he talked about how he
has no doubt he's still an elite quarterback. I would
(20:39):
turn to Jello because the proof is in the pudding.
And on a weekly basis, ever since he got the
Northern Ohio and My Guy Strip Club, John Ohio. Al,
all my other guys there in Ohio can back me
up on this in northern Ohio, even Dick and Dayton
that Deshaun Watson has served up pudding, but it's extra crispy,
(21:01):
extra crunchy pudding, filled with maggots and cockroaches. Because that's
the quality of performance. As he has been a suck
bag quarterback any way you slice it by any measurement.
He has been terrible. He's hurt often when he's played.
He's been bad. You are what your record says you are.
And he has the highest rate of incompletions, dude, to
(21:21):
inaccurate passes, not the receiver's fault, his fault. He had
that last year. He's in the bottom percentile of every
quarterback in the NFL over the last couple of years
since he got paid. Now, final point, we're going to
go over to college football several. When I say several.
Two two of our listeners, one who I actually met
(21:41):
at the Mallard Meet and greet in Charleston, reached out
to me from the Palmetto State and they wanted me
to examine some good audio. And this is a couple
of days old, but to me, it still stands up.
It's from the college football world. Clemson was absolutebolutely horn
(22:02):
swoggle by Georgia in the second half of that game,
a close game in halftime, and then Georgia just kicked
ass in the second half, and Dabo Sweeney was gobsmacked
by the time that that thing had entered. He was
thunderstruck and all that. And so he made some comments
after the game and people people were like, all working, work,
worked up about into a ladder. Well, then he had
(22:24):
more to say about all of the criticism in the media.
And here's Dabbo Sweeney giving you media one oh one
as he rants and raves to the media. Let's go
to the audio tape.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Y'all go write crap. Y'all go write terrible stuff. And
when we do great, y'all gonna write great stuff. You know,
that's okay. I mean, everybody's got a job to do.
It's okay. That's okay. I don't take it personal. You know,
I don't read it or listen to it. It doesn't
that doesn't, that doesn't affect me. I love my job.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
I love what I do. I love all of it.
And y'all can't change that. Now you can write now
you can change that.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
I love what I do, I love these kids, I
love my purpose in life.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Well, they don't love you right now. So is there
a deeper meaning for Dabbo Sweeney and his soliloquy to
the Clemson football media. So parsing the words here, the
first thought I have is obviously that this is really
under the crawl of Dabbo right that he's full of hogwash.
(23:26):
He's saying one thing, but his actions would lead another direction.
Here he's digging deeper and deeper into his bunker, and
he's he's like, hey, you know, I'm not You're not
going to ruin my day. I love my job. I
don't pay attention. He has tongue out. It's all neurosis.
It's all neurosis. He's going to bed right now. Dabo
(23:48):
in a boiling cauldron. It's a gold plated boiling cauldron
because even if he gets fired, he's going to have
forever money. They're not going to fire him right now
because of the payout, but his job and the job
that has happened at Clemson the last couple of years
since Trevor Lawrence vacated the Clemson football program. It's a
(24:09):
hot mess. And he's the overlord of that operation, that franchise.
And so if I'm not mistaken, maybe I'm wrong, you
can correct me. But if you're the head football coach,
the ball coach, you have to literally and figuratively know
everything that is said, every minute detail about your program.
(24:29):
And he is becoming more and more thin skin as
the losses pile up. Dabo Sweeney, what is my evidence?
You might remember Dabo has a weekly radio show. A
lot of coaches do, although some have gotten rid of
them in recent years. So Dabbo this season has banned
live radio callers. He's such a coward that he will
not take calls. I do four hours a night, five
(24:52):
days a week, open phones, take calls. People call up
and they say stupid things. I got alcoholics, they got
losers like angry Bill. The call up right, I'm sitting
here every night live artillery, audio artillery, and I'm doing
the show. He's afraid. He's afraid of the live call.
You might remember the famous moment last year when Dabosweeney
(25:14):
was confronted by a caller named, if I remember correctly,
Tyler from Spartansburg. That did not go well. So instead
of taking live calls on the radio show, Dabbo instead
and the people around him will handpick softball questions, the
cream and cool whip questions from social media. Now, remember
(25:37):
all of this is likely tied to the fact the
downfall of Clemson is that Dabosweeney is tied handcuffed to
his typewriter and does not want to use a computer.
Clemson is one of four schools in Division one that
do not have a single player from the portal, the
(25:59):
transfer portal. You see who the other three are? Remember this,
I don't know you saw the stat The other three
that do not have a single transfer in the portal
are Army, Navy, and Air Force. They're not allowed. They're
there service again, they're not allowed to have anybody for
(26:19):
the portal. They can't take transfers like that. Clemson can,
and they could get really good players. And I know
from the people I talk to down there, they get
a lot of money at Clemson. That's that's their pro
football team. And he don't want to do it. Don't
I go down that road.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

Speaker 7 (26:44):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
To the third degree. This is gets grilled, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
The coop dal loup.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
A recent poe revealed that more than sixty percent of
league executives and scouts picks Patrick mahone Holmes to win
his third MVP this year. Ben, Do you think Mahomes
bounces back statistically this season?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Mahomye Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, he was in the middle last year.
He was right around fourteen or fifteen, depending on what
stat you look at. But they improved the wide receiving corps.
I see no reason to think Mahomes is not gonna
have a monster year and light up the Ravens defense
starting to night next, it.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
Is being reported that New Jersey is trying to entice
the Philadelphia seventy six ers to move across the river
to a proposed complex and Camden. The team responded, we
must take all potential options seriously, including this one. Yeah, Ben,
do you think this is just posturing to get a
new arena in a Philly or do you think they'd
actually consider it now?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Of course, Listen, I've been to Philly before. It's like
just to cross the way. It's like going from here to.
You know that a long beach or whatever. It's the
same thing. Who cares, it's whoever gives them the biggest
tax break. That's where they're gonna go next.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
New Panthers wide receiver Deontay Johnson sat down with the
team writer and decided to address his reputation. Said he
thinks people feel like he's a diva, but sometimes players
just get misunderstood. Just admit to being a diva.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Well, it doesn't matter, Coop if he's a diva or not,
because he's plays in Carolina and no one's gonna watch
him play football with the Panthers, so he could be
a diva. It doesn't matter. No one's gonna be paying attention.
How did we know he passes? That is a way
you can put it on the board. I won the game.
Another win all time, wins King Ben.

in any of them.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Honest.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Yeah, I'll pick.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Air Force though because of that, I could do Space Force.
You do that.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
I'll let leave the coop for the space Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Mark, you were in the military, would you I've seen
too many things on TV and movies. I'll go with
the Marines. The Marine. Oh, my radio friend Art I
see him every year at the holiday part. Maybe he
might be part of the PR department for the Marines.
And yeah, he says, they do all the real work
(29:53):
in the military, that everyone else is a fraud, that
the Marines do all the heavy lifting. What about you?
Speaker 8 (29:57):
Cooper Loop. I was like Eddie. I always thought it'd
be awesome to fly like F sixteen. So I would
choose the Air Force. But I'm not eligible because my
eyesight is terrible. But you know, in this hypothetical situation,
I would choose the Air Force.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
As a kid, growing up, they had the Blue Angels
air show every year. Was really cool. And I live
between two military bases, and this was back in the
Stone Age. They'd let us kids like walk through on
the like the planes, like the cockpits they'd have opened up.
It was crazy, pretty small.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
Now those are Those are navy planes.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I believe they were at the El Toro Marine Base
or the Tustin Air Station, or it was what is
next here? Both those places are gone, by the way,
They're long gone. There's houses there now. Cowboy Killer, Hi,
Cowboy Killer.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
He would like to know. And I believe we've been
asked this before. You know, it's all right, we'll do
it again. If you could own an exotic pet, what
would it be.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Well, I'm a big fan of the elephant and the rhino,
but I do often mention the Komodo dragon. So one
of those three I feel like I do own an
exotic pet. I have Moxie the bulldog. It seems like
an exotic. It's like owning a miniature rhino when you
own a bolt like an English bulldog like that. What
about you Eddie?
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Uh well, Mike the Leprechaun has turned me onto the hedgehog,
so I might have to check that out.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
In contact the wife there, make some phone calls.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Any weird animals Markie Markets. Yeah, I would buy a lion.
A lion, Well, you'd get all the credibility there. Imagine
picking up women whatever I mean, my guy, I see
my lion. Yeah, come check out my line. It's gonna roar. Yeah,
all right. What about your coop?
Speaker 8 (31:35):
I would I would pick a cheetah. That is my
that's my favorite animal.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Cheatah, Tyreko, you want to have a Cheeta Cheata Cheata cheetah?
What is next year? It's ask Ben. Your questions are
answers for the rest of the hour as we answer
from the Great on wash the hoy ploy and you
can use the hashtag ask Ben on X if you
want to send those questions in and very sought after
(32:01):
to have one of your questions read and so please
keep them flowing.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
In donkey sausage. I would like to know soft serve
or hard ice cream. I don't know if it's I
think it's just I.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Don't think the term is hard. I think you've done
something terribly wrong if it's hard ice cream. Yeah, so
bof server regular ice cream both serve a roll in
a good life lived. I don't mind going to Costco
and getting the berry Sunday. I don't mind that at all.
I love it. But ice cream today. You asked me tomorrow,
(32:39):
it might be a different answer, but I would pick
ice cream and cookie dough ice cream. I've tried some
exotic ones when I've travel or whateverybody my go to
a cookie cookie dough chocolate chip mint chip or something
like that. What about you, Edie?
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Definitely the soft serve. As a matter of fact, if
I do get the regular ice cream, I will allow
it to melt for a while before I eat the
ice cream. So I love the melty soft services.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
A terrible answer, you're a terrible person. How am I
a terrible person? Because I know because you're criticized the problem.
They tell you the problem with softicer. The problem with
softicer is the same problem I have with fast food.
It's a race to eat it before it turns the crap.
For me, You've got to eat the soft serve faster
it starts melting. It's like drinking, you know, melk with
a spoon that there's more leeway, but there's more. There's
(33:27):
more leeway with ice cream. You can relax. You don't
have to rush, you know, unlet's it's a million degrees wax.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
And let it melt. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I do marks regular ice that's my man. They're high five.
All right, boom there you go. All right, what about
you coop?
Speaker 8 (33:44):
Definitely regular ice cream.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Come on, you're you're such an outlier.
Speaker 7 (33:50):
Guy who would like steak burnt?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Please me and Arnie Spaniard, by the way, legend the
Great Arnie Span. You're from Burlington, Vermont.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
That's where you get. You want to hang out.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
If you want to see Burlington, all you need is
four hours. You can see the entire town. What's next?
That's true.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
I went there.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
I visited Arnie Mark and we spent four hours. I
saw everything there is to see in Burlington, Vermont, and
then I left and got back on the road down
to Boston. Man alive. All right, what is it? What
is next? Koberloo? The King Rory, Hi, the King Rory.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
He would like to know have you ever dialed nine
to one one before?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Oh? Yes, I actually have, well mistakenly dialed. You are
talking about an actual emergency. I have done that too.
I have been on the highway working the overnight here
driving home, seeing accidents happen. I saw wrong way drivers
a couple of times. But so I have done that.
But I also like mistakenly dialed, which is weird because
my wife works there. But yeah, so I've done all that.
(34:43):
What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 7 (34:44):
Yeah, not because of something emergency at my house necessarily,
but I did it. Recently. I was driving on the
seven to ten Freeway, the Long Beach Freeway in southern California,
and there was a naked man laying on the side
of the freeway and.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
So I h I wonder what we'd been was doing it?
Speaker 7 (35:01):
Yeah, so I called nine one one and said, yeah,
you might want to send somebody out here.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
For this, and yeah, yeah, yeah, I've called for wrong
way drivers, but they usually call up they say what's
your emergency? Then they transferred to the highway patrol and then.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
I was put on hold twice, but they did pick
up pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Yeah, they pick up quick. But like, it's so the system,
the highway system right here is so big, it's you know,
unless there's somebody in the area, they're not going to
find the person. Mark ever called nine to one one,
never called nine one one.
Speaker 8 (35:30):
But I've had to call the police, but never a nine.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Call the business line. What about you?
Speaker 8 (35:36):
I have a few times for drunk drivers, but uh,
a better story than that. When I was really young,
it was right after my parents split up, so my
mom was living at home alone, and it was like
around two in the morning, and somebody called our house
and there was this guy who was like, I'm in
the treehouse, and we had a treehouse in our backyard,
and she freaked out, called nine one one, got the
(35:58):
cops over there, and then we found out that there
was a bar in our town called the Treehouse. So
some dude don the wrong number trying to get fortunate.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
That's unfortunate. Better to be safe than sorry.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
I guess I'm in the house.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Like somebody would call this show, what is next to ask?
Your questions are answers for the rest of the hour.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
Mass whole.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
Mickey would like to know apple or pumpkin baked goods.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Yeah, like the pumpkin, you'd only do it for for
Halloween or Thanksgiving. But the apples, you can do it
year round. Is the apples always in style?
Speaker 7 (36:37):
Eddie, we agree on that one.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, okay, Mark apple Pie, let's go. Yeah, I love apple.
You get the Dutch apple, get the French. I mean,
there's so many different apple. But what about you.
Speaker 8 (36:46):
You might be able to do it year round, but
it just doesn't hold a candle to those three months
that the pumpkin is dominates.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
It does not. It's a terrible take, bad take. Get
out of here, pumpkin.

driver when they were cycling the day before their sister's wedding.
Vigils were held last night in both Columbus and Calgary,

wife expecting to deliver their first child in December. Obviously,
very very tragic and sad situation Edmundson Oiler signed star

(38:26):
He's twenty eight years old. Agreed to a deal that
will win it begins after this season. He'll make fourteen
million dollars per year total of one hundred and twelve million,
and that would eclipse the thirteen point twenty five million

per season. Dry Saddle is a former league MVP and
one half of the Dynamic duo along with Connor McDavid

miss the entire upcoming season. The team had announced last
month that he had been diagnosed with pre arthritic issues
in his left ankle, and he tried to rehabit to

come back, but apparently that was not working out. So
he's having the surgery and his season is over before
it begains. Same goes for Carolina Hurricanes forward. Yes, per fast.
He will miss the entire upcoming season following next surgery.
Thirty year old suffered that injury on the final day
of the regular season last year, ended up missing the

smaller players can succeed in the NHL and that is
your puck. The World Report
