Our lead this hour from so Cal Sofa Stadium, as
our friend Helmetman calls it, better known to everyone Else's
Sofi Stadium in the hood in Inglewood. That was the
(01:52):
ballroom for the pigskin sore at dance party that kicked
off week number eight of the NFL season. Justin Jefferson
and the Big Bad Minnesota Vikings. After that great start,
they did lose back on Sunday to the Lions, but
trying to get back in the win column a short
week and Justin Jefferson going against Cooper Cup remember him, Yeah,
(02:17):
he used to be good and now he's playing again.
He hadn't played in some time, but he's back. And
you had Al Michaels driving down from Brentwood down the
four h five over to Inglewood and call the game.
Herb Street flew in and they had to call on Amazon. Now,
I'm not sure if you watch this game or not.
(02:37):
It was really much else to watch, so maybe you
watched nothing. I don't know, but we watched so you
would not have to. And Cooper cup delivered as he
had a touchdown in his return and Pooka Nakua also
played and he didn't get in the en zone, but
(02:58):
he ha one hundred and six yards on seven catches
in the Rams surprise the Vikings thirty to twenty the
final in the Thursday night game. Matthew stafford his name
in trade rumors the last couple of days, two hundred
and seventy nine yards passing four touchdowns. He had the
obligatory interception, and the Rams get out of last place
(03:19):
in the NFC West. They are three and four on
the season, as they're a game under five hundred. That
terrible Ram team, very similar to last year, got off
to a bad start. Now they're working their way back
into contention or are they working their way back into contention?
So the better story, though, is in the losing locker room,
(03:41):
the previous unbeaten Vikings that have now lost two games
in the span of a couple of days. So let
us discuss the question who gets the blame for Sam
Darnold's Vikings stumbling and bumbling and stubbing their toe against
the Rams. So I've got clock, weather forecast, and remote control,
(04:07):
and we will tie all of these things together and
we are going to make a pinata, which is what
the Vikings were in this game, a pinata. And the
Rams were at the kids' base, at the baseball bat,
the kids party. They were swinging away, all right. So
to answer the question, we love playing the blame game,
who gets the blame? Juicy Lucy for Sam Donald and
(04:27):
the Minnesota Vikings. Well, the Viking ship. I studied the Vikings.
When I was called the Viking ship would stink from
the quarterback down. You read that in all the educational books,
from the quarterback down. So we'll start with Sam Donald,
who came out. If you saw the beginning of the game,
and he was weaving magic at the beginning of the
(04:50):
it looked like he was back at San Clemente High
School in the OC, or at usc taking on Oregon
State or Stanford. The way that Donald was just torching
the Ram defense, cooking with gas in the first quarter.
Now he finished with ninety seven yards in the first quarter,
two touchdowns, no interceptions. And I had people that I
(05:12):
know in my circle who are I call them a holes,
They're called trolls, and they were texting me as I
was enjoying the game, and they were trying to bust
my balls at Sam Donald blows or the Rams blow
and Donald's great and.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Anyway, so something happened though, and I know when it happened.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I don't know why it happened. I'm not sure how
it happened.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
But it happened at the end of the first intermission,
the first intermission, that is when Sam Donald became punched
the clock guy, and he just punched the clock. And
it was a minimum day, a minimum day for Sam Dartlal.
(05:58):
How do we know it's a minimum day because Donald
was the Jets version of Sam Donald the rest of
the game. Now, what do I mean by that? He
sucked at a time you cannot suck. He did the
bare minimum. The Vikings only scored six points a couple
of field goals after that first quarter on slot. And
the evidence is overwhelming. It's direct evidence. Donald attempted seventeen
(06:21):
passes after the first quarter final forty five.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Minutes of the game.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
He was ten of seventeen, no touchdowns, no interceptions, a
passer rating of eighty six point one. And if you
look at the last three weeks and Sam Donald, Now,
the numbers have not been there. They have not been there,
and this is a spot for the Vikings. I know
it's a short week, but I trust me. I watched
every Ram game and the Rams have a bunch of
(06:49):
mattadors on defense, Oley Ole Ola Ole twenty fifth in
scoring defense, come into this game, twenty sixth in total defense,
and they bottled up the Vikings after the first quarter.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
That should not happen. I'm happy it did, but that
should not happen now.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
On the other hand, as we continue to unravel what
took place in this game, what the hell happened to
Brian Flores in the Viking defense statistically a handicap a
game like this, and in many key defensive categories the
Vikings had a top ten defense in some categories. They
had a top five defense statistically coming into this game.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Well, what happened was.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
A shot to the solar plexus, a gut punch. Because
the Rams got their guys back, Cooper Cup and Puka
Deakua and Minnesota, they had the Island life blues, short
week travel, all the excuses, what was me? They were
The B word bedraggled is what they were right short,
(07:53):
whether weather forecast has changed, the magic wand has been
lost in Minnesota, and they are right now. If you
look at the weather forecast in the Twin Cities for
the Vikings, there's a lot of purple haze over the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
They were rattled.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
It was a slack jawed performance. Nine penalties and the
Rams ended up getting extra five first downs by penalty.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Now, some of you seemed convinced that this.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Is all rigged and that the NFL wanted the Rams
to win and the Vikings to lose.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And we'll get to this more later. I'm not gonna
get do it right now. But the face mask called
the Vikings were down by eight, Sam.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Donald was clearly the Roland Ram players tackle them in
the end zone for a safety. But it was a
face mass penalty that the three blind referees did not see.
But that would not if you think Sam Donald was
going to lead the Vikings down after sucking for the
entire rest of the game and not only get a
touchdown but then a two point conversion, you are bonkers.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Okay, you're a loser, You're a loser.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
But to me, the story here is the Viking defense
The Rams got their guys back, and that was like
a bad navy. They gave up yards by land, by air,
and by sea. Kyrone Williams, who's a really good running back,
the Rams got him in the middle rounds out of
Notre Dame ninety seven yards on the ground. Matthew Stafford
averaged over eight yards per pass attempt. I mean he
(09:23):
did have an interception, but he always has one. It
was an all around frazzled effort by Minnesota. Now the
other side, how does this win change things for Sean McVay.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
And the Rams?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
So this is a massive I don't think we can
understate this, and I don't want to be the shock jock,
And why would I want to be that Those guys
get paid a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I don't. But here's my position on this.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Okay, the Rams, how does this win change things for
Sean mcvay's Rams. They grabbed the remote control, Okay, they
grabbed the imaginary remote control, and they hit the pause button.
They pause live TV is what they're doing. Okay, Because
here's why we are eleven days away from the musical
chairs stopping the game of musical chairs, and the music
(10:07):
will stop in eleven days.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
That's the trade deadline, right.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
The Rams in this game look like a legit NFC contender.
They had Cooper Cup, they had Pokin de Coua, and
this sets up the showdown in Seattle week nine. If
the Rams can muster up a win over a pretty
(10:33):
mediocre Seattle team and get back to five hundred, then
the move here for the Rams would be to abstain
from trading Cooper Cup.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Or Matthew Stafford or any of these guys.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
You never throw away a season, especially not now, especially
not now. If you look out at the serengetti in
the NFC and all the wide open land there, the
forty nine ers are blear and their weather beaten. The
Vikings appear to be bush whacked or should I say
darnold whack. The last couple of games, Seattle's got Geno Smith.
(11:09):
To any team with Gino Smith you cannot take seriously.
The Eagles, you have to say, there's something there, but
they still have a glitch. The Falcons you're not really
feeling it because of Kirk Cousins and the Packers. Okay,
maybe the Packers, but you feel like there's still some
fungus there on the cheese. There's still something rotting with
(11:33):
the packers.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

Speaker 4 (11:44):
A giant move. Well god man, not be getting of
another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are in
the air everywhere at your fingertips as we try to
avoid all hailed damage coast, the coast, border, the border
(12:06):
and beyond on themast and hypnotically powerful microphones of FSR
am monating live from the quarter. Our goal here is
to avoid a bad quarter of an hour. That's really
our only goal. We're broadcasting live from the tyrat dot

The way tire buying should be og art Puffin approves

(12:52):
So our lead this hour, We'll.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Change it up a little bit. Uh giant move. It's
a giant move. If you or into the purchase of
sports tickets are lead this hour.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
We gonn guys should go to baseball twas the night
before Game one of the World Series, when all through
the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
Garrett Cole versus Jack Flaherty Bronx bombers the Boys in
Blue La New York Friday Night, La La Land. So
(13:26):
you got that going on. There's a couple of subplots.
I want to talk about a couple of subplots. Now
you might know what these are, maybe not. The one
I want to start with is the outrageous, over the top,
in your face, in your face situation involving the value
(13:49):
of this World Series. Now, these are the two biggest
media markets in America, and these are the two sexiest
teams in baseball. But we're told the average ticket price
for Game number between the Yankees and the Dodgers is
(14:10):
the largest in the history of the secondary market.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
All right.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
In fact, no, only that for the entire World Series,
the whole shebang. This is the most expensive ticket in
the history of the World Series. The previous record was
when the Chicago Cubs ended a one hundred eight run
year run of futility, complete futility, and they beat the
(14:39):
Cleveland Indians in the way they were called the Indians
at that time.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
We can say that Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Indians.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
That was in twenty sixteen, so that was the previous record,
and you kind of get it right. Cubs, she had
multiple generations of Cub fans. It was their dying wish
to watch the Cubs in the World Series. And so
you understood that the Dodgers are in the World Series
every couple of years. The Yankees haven't been in the
World Series in a long time. But still it's not
(15:06):
like you'd have to be really young to say you
don't remember the Yankees in the World Series.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
They were there fifteen years ago.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
So the question as we discuss Dodgers and Yankees world
Series record setting ticket prices, big.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Deal, little deal, or no deal.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
So I've got playground, animniacs, and pharmacy grade, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make playball.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Is what We're gonna makeuse. I can't wait. I'll be watching.
I'll be sitting on my ass.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
I ain't paying a thousand dollars to go to Dodger stated,
but I'll be watching the Dodgers and the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So my first thought on the question of the.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
World Series ticket prices is this a big deal, a
little deal, or no deal. I have this as a
little deal. It's not no deal because it's a lot
of money. It's not a big deal because it's predictable.
Got on one side of the United States, the Wall
Street robber barons, right, the hedge fund Titans of Wall
Street versus tinsel Town, movie mogul money.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
And everything else.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
All the other rich people live in La So the
World Series is a playground for the wealthy, for the famous.
It's palpable. Elitism is what it is, right, It's to
be seen, to be heard, to see and I want
to look at you and all that stuff. So everyone
is hoping to be noticed by important or fashionable people
(16:37):
at the World Series. And inflation is out of control.
You might think it's bad buying a carton of milk
or a block of cheese or some bread, but real
inflation is being a loyal sports fan. The tyrants who
run these sports leagues are over the top with they
(17:00):
are greed. It's unreal if you look at the inflation
for tickets.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So it's not a news story. There's no end in sight.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
The only way it stops is if people stop spending
the money, and people have not shown that they're willing
to do that. And if they did, the ticket prices
would come down, and that would be a change.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
It would be panic.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I've said this before. The most powerful thing in all
of sports is the a word apathy. If you have apathy,
then they freak out because.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
That is the death of the business. That is it.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Now another storyline I wanted to mention here the Dodgers
and their game number one starter and whether or not
he's being set up here for a Debacle's talk about
Jack Flaherty, who's going to start Game one, and the headline,
which is bouncing around you gotta fill time. I understand
that you got to blog the fill You got a
(17:57):
social media you gotta get some clicks. The headline is
the Dodgers are concerned about Jack Flaherty's velocity dip right,
and they're worried about this. He's not throwing as hard
as he did Game five of the National League Championship Series.
His fastball velocity was not very good, not very good,
(18:18):
and so the quote from the Dodger pitching coach Mark
Pryor was moderately concerned. That was the quote, So are
you moderately concerned about Jack Flaherty And I'll go for
I am not. I expect him to go out there
and pitch well. He's not on the road.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I guess he's got the hebgb's on the road.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
He's at Dodger Stadium, friendly confines, you know, hometown, all
that stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
And he pitched well in that ballpark. In his previous
start in the playoffs, hes sucked on the road. So
he's at home.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I expect him pitchwell. And this story annoys me. And
the reason he annoys me is one of the flaws
the Dodgers have is they are such velocity whores.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I'm old school. I guess I didn't realize that this
is still a thing. But you can. I know this
is gonna blow you away. Call me a boomer right now.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
You can get hitters out without throwing it past them.
You can use gile, guts and gile as a pitcher,
and they used to. This is going to really shock you.
But they had something called the art of pitching and
it was deception. And yeah, I know it's crazy for
me too. Yeah, So God forbid. Jack Flaherty goes out
(19:34):
there and uses a little deception. Oh you're such you're
such a loser, all right. Now, staying with baseball, Major
League Commissioner Rob Manford, or as we like to call him,
man Fraud, recently said that he expects to implement the
automated strikes on within the.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Next four years. How does this one vibe with you?
All right?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
So it is the next chapter in Rob Manford recreating
the ani Maniacs cartoon from back in the day, The
Animaniacs cartoon. You know that pinky in the brain? What
are you gonna do tonight? I'm and try to take
over the world.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
And that's what Rob Manford's doing.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Ghost runners, check, pitch clock check check, bigger basis check
check check.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Banning the shift check check check check.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
No takeout slides at second base or home plate checkchick
check check check mandating batters or pitchers face minimum number
of batters out of.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
The bullpen checkchick check, chick check. So this is on brand.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
This is what Rob Manford does, and I believe it
will happen much sooner than four years. The automated strike
zone will also allow Major League Baseball to use Big
Brother to generate a tentacle like appendage to manipulate desired outcomes.
(21:01):
If they so choose humans, at some point in the
equation will have to set up the algorithm for the
strike zone, which obviously leaves room for some funny business
for manipulation.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
And anytime you have humans.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Involved, you cannot have the automated strikes on without a
human setting it up, So therefore it is fallible and
planning that out there, all right, final fun Quickly we
go to pro bouncy Ball and the games are not
(21:35):
great talk radio, but the stories in the NBA often are.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Here's an example.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
The season started a couple of nights ago, the NBA
has already opened up an investigation into MVP Joel Embiid's
plans to essentially never play in back to back games
again for some reason, and Bed decided to announce this
with the Sixers that he just can not handle his
(22:01):
body cannot handle playing back to back in well. Charles Barkley,
the gold standard for sporting commentary. Charles Barkley got on
the bully pulpit on TNT and unloaded on the Sixer Star.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I believe we have the audio, Yes, I think we
do all right, very good.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Here is Charles Barkley, and listen to him and his
thoughts on Joel mb Man.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
I don't have any idea what the Sixers are doing.
You know, I don't think it's fair. Now listen, I
want I want to get this number right because this
is crazy and blessed a kid.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Number one.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
He just signed for three years, one hundred and ninety
three million dollars, three years, one hundred and nine three
million dollars to play basketball. We're not still workers. We're
not nurses like people who got like real jobs who
have to work forty to fifty hours a week. We're
playing basketball at the most four days a week, most
(23:00):
of the time three days a week. He has the
best back up in the league.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Yeah, and they talk about Andrew Drummond there. But what
did you make of Charles bark And there was more?
What did you make of his lecture about Joel Embiid
and load management? So for me, this was frosted flakes, right,
Joel Embiid Not only is he frosted flakes, but they're great.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Charles Barkley's words were great.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
You know, it shows you the dichotomy between the NBA
world and the real world. Now, I know there's a
lot of fanboys that whatever the athletes do, they're called
jock sniffers, and they support the athletes no matter what.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
But there used to be.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Adults in the room, like Charles Barkley who would say
this is ridiculous, this is absurd, right, And the NBA
is at a point now where they don't even pretend
to say that there's a problem with it.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Like Joel ANDB lives in a bubble. Joel and B.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
He lives in a world where he's insulated from the
reality of the world that he feels no guilt, no
shame in taking one hundred and ninety three million dollar contract,
as Charles Barkley said, there and not be a being
able to fulfill the contract. Now, I've seen the standard
verbiage in professional sports contracts, and there is a fitness requirement.
(24:22):
And if embiid can't play back to back, wouldn't that
indicate that he can't meet the basic requirements for the contract,
thus voiding the contract. I'm just saying, I'm just saying,
can't play back to back games, and I take this show.
I've been very lucky. You guys have been wonderful for me.
You've supported this show for some reason. For many, many years.
(24:44):
I've been able to meet a lot of you going
around the country. We're doing a meet and greet in
Kansas City coming up in November. Hopefully I'll meet you
if you're in that area. But I've met a lot
of you, right, And many of you that listen to
this show are working in factories.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
You're truck drivers, your police officers.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
You've got jobs where you use your body, and your
body is your much like a paressional athlete uses their body.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
You use your body for your job.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
And you guys, based on the sample sizer, in your forties, fifties,
and sixties, and some of you are past the age
of retirement, and you're still working for whatever reason, right,
for whatever reason, and you're busting your ass ten or
twelve hours a day. A lot of you are working
your second or third job while listening to.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
This this show.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
And we have that world, and then we have the
Joelnbid world where one hundred and ninety three million dollar count.
You can't be troubled to play back to back years
and it would be a case why He's like, well,
just grab some pharmacy grade ibuprofen and rub subdurnal it.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And if you're unable to play, just retire right, just quick. Now.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
If you can't do the job, don't do the job.
Don't do a half assed job. And the NBA gave
us this dog and pony show and they claimed it
was a year ago.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I remember.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
It's like they had their own little vaccine. Everyone loves
the vaccine. They had a little vaccine for load management.
They did some study. They said, don't work load management
not effective? Well, the plague is alive, and well, not
only would Joel Embiid, but Kawhi Leonard with the Clippers
as well. It's just absurd.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
If you're unable to do the job, just don't do that.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Fine, there's somebody else will played basketball for the seventy
six ers.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
And if Kawhi Leonard left the Clippers, somebody.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Else would take his roster spot, and they would think
they're the luckiest person in the world.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
And maybe they'll actually turn out to be good. Who knows.
You know, it's possible.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
It's conceivable they might actually be good at basketball, and
they might actually play in back to back games.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
There we are, It's mallard. How about that?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Lion's which Dan Campbell said in a recent interview that
Jared Goff is playing like Drew Brees in his prime
with New Orleans.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
But how do you feel about the comparison?
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Yeah, well, it's it's nice of Dan Campbell to wear
knee pads. We're talking about his quarterback.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
But no, that's it's nonsense.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
It's hyperbole, and Drew Brees was consistently great, played well
in big games.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Jared Goff has played much better than I thought with
the Lions. But I'm not.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Ready to go down that road by Dan Campbell. In fact,
that is patently absurd. All right Now, if Golf wins
the super Bowl, fine that he evens up the trade.
But yeah, were talking about a Hall of Famer Jared Goff,
if he goes to the Hall of Fame, is gonna
buy a ticket next?
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Well, now that the Lakers have had their choreograph Lebron
and Brownie father Son moment that was so magical, how
often do you think Bronnie sees the court for the
Lakers moving forward.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Yeah, so I think they're gonna wait until people forget
about it a little bit, wait a week or two,
and then.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
He will be buried in the G League that they can't.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I don't think they'll do it right away because they
have to give the illusion that this was not a
total sham, even though everyone knows it was as big
as sham as sham Sharania his.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Name, but no, I mean, the whole thing's ridiculous. He
shouldn't mean the NBA.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
So they'll bury him on the G League and they'll
bring him back later in the year. But I think
they'll wait ten days or two weeks next.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
So, Aaron Rodgers appeared on Pat McAfee's show Tuesday to
insist that he did not eat his boogers, despite what
the viral video appears to show. Now, Ben, after your
minutes long Mallard investigation, Yeah, what is your final verdict
on booger Gate?

Speaker 7 (35:09):
But that's fun, all right, cool, cool, thank you?
Speaker 3 (35:12):
All right.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
So we're gonna take a look at what is premiering
this weekend. First, in the theaters, we have Venom The
Last Dance. Yes, Tom Hardy returns his Venom, one of
the Marvel's characters.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
The Last Dance until they do a prequel and then
it will be done.
Speaker 6 (35:33):
Yeah, I mean supposedly this is the last Venom centric movie. Now,
this one has terrible reviews from the critics. Thirty six
percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but seventy seven percent from the
from the audience.
Speaker 7 (35:49):
So you know, it's probably just one of those your.
Speaker 6 (35:52):
Classic, not great comic book movie, but still enjoyable for
those who are fans of comic books.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
They make money, that's why they exactly.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
Also premiering this weekend in theaters is a movie called Conclave. Now,
this one stars, It's got a big cat, stars Ralph Fines,
Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow. And this one's getting great
reviews now.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
It is uh.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
It follows the selecting of the new pope and during
the conclave, the papal conclave, I believe it's called, Uh,
there's secrets that are unveiled in the dead pope's wake
which could shake the foundations of the church.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Oh, I hope not. I hope. Yes.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
So this one's actually got great review So I will
I will probably check this out and I'll let you
guys know next week.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
How it is you ever been to the Vatican coop?
Speaker 7 (36:48):
I have you have? Yes?
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Was it a game changing experience or were you like
just in the gift shop they're buying some.
Speaker 6 (36:54):
Su No, it was pretty awesome, actually, yeah, I'm not
a I'm not a religious person, but you know, there's
lots of history there and so it is. Yeah, and
well I also I climbed to the top of the
cathedral and you're in this like tiny little like staircase
that they used, and it was.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
It was pretty you go by the room where they
have the white smoke you know what they named.
Speaker 7 (37:16):
The Pope Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, it was. It was
pretty awesome. I definitely recommend if you know, for those
of you that ever are in Italy. The Pope was
on vacation when I was there.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Who knew was he in cancoon?
Speaker 7 (37:29):
Right? Like when does the pope get to go on vacation?
I mean I didn't see the Pope when I was there.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
I don't know. No, no, you weren't blessed by the Pope.
Speaker 7 (37:35):
No, you can have him blessed like your necklaces and stuff.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Oh yeah, but we did see because there's like this
has never happened before, but there's like the old pope
that still lives there, the guy that like stepped.
Speaker 7 (37:45):
Down and like declined being the Pope.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
Yeah, the German one, and so he lives in like
you know, the God be weird because.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Don't they bury the popes like right there? Right, Yeah
it is.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
It's a weird situation, but yeah, anyway, moving on to television,
we have a new limited series on Apple TV Plus.
It is available right now. It is a ten episode
psychological thriller. And this is the interesting part because it
stars Billy Crystal, not really known for psychological thrillers, but
(38:21):
he plays a recently widowed child psychiatrist who encounters a
troubled young boy who appears to have a connection to
his own past.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Yeah. Fun fact, I have had dinner.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
With Billy Crystal really at the basketball game and not
the most engaging guy.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
You know.
Speaker 7 (38:36):
That does not surprise me.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Neither am I. But he was worse than me, so
you know, I get it.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
I mean he's probably he probably has people plug him
all the time, but he was rather cold the same.
Speaker 7 (38:46):
Yeah, I kind of got that vibe.
Speaker 6 (38:49):
And then, last, but not least I want to mention,
available on Netflix right now. It is a documentary film.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
This is interesting.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
It's called The Remarkable Life of.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Iblin Iblin, so basically it is a creatively told documentary
about a Norwegian gamer who died from muscular dystrophy at
the age of twenty five, but it was after his
death that his parents discovered his vast and vibrant online
life that focused around his world of warcraft persona. And
(39:21):
apparently it's got rave reviews from the Sundays.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
It has a debilitating illness but was Internet famous.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
Yes, and his parents didn't even know about it until
after he died.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
That's why it's the Matrix Man. You can live a
whole different world.
Speaker 7 (39:34):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
So that movie is on Netflix and it is available
right now, and that is Koop Scoop Entertainment

Our lead this hour from so Cal Sofa Stadium, as
our friend Helmetman calls it, better known to everyone Else's
Sofi Stadium in the hood in Inglewood. That was the
(01:52):
ballroom for the pigskin sore at dance party that kicked
off week number eight of the NFL season. Justin Jefferson
and the Big Bad Minnesota Vikings. After that great start,
they did lose back on Sunday to the Lions, but
trying to get back in the win column a short
week and Justin Jefferson going against Cooper Cup remember him, Yeah,
(02:17):
he used to be good and now he's playing again.
He hadn't played in some time, but he's back. And
you had Al Michaels driving down from Brentwood down the
four h five over to Inglewood and call the game.
Herb Street flew in and they had to call on Amazon. Now,
I'm not sure if you watch this game or not.
(02:37):
It was really much else to watch, so maybe you
watched nothing. I don't know, but we watched so you
would not have to. And Cooper cup delivered as he
had a touchdown in his return and Pooka Nakua also
played and he didn't get in the en zone, but
(02:58):
he ha one hundred and six yards on seven catches
in the Rams surprise the Vikings thirty to twenty the
final in the Thursday night game. Matthew stafford his name
in trade rumors the last couple of days, two hundred
and seventy nine yards passing four touchdowns. He had the
obligatory interception, and the Rams get out of last place
(03:19):
in the NFC West. They are three and four on
the season, as they're a game under five hundred. That
terrible Ram team, very similar to last year, got off
to a bad start. Now they're working their way back
into contention or are they working their way back into contention?
So the better story, though, is in the losing locker room,
(03:41):
the previous unbeaten Vikings that have now lost two games
in the span of a couple of days. So let
us discuss the question who gets the blame for Sam
Darnold's Vikings stumbling and bumbling and stubbing their toe against
the Rams. So I've got clock, weather forecast, and remote control,
(04:07):
and we will tie all of these things together and
we are going to make a pinata, which is what
the Vikings were in this game, a pinata. And the
Rams were at the kids' base, at the baseball bat,
the kids party. They were swinging away, all right. So
to answer the question, we love playing the blame game,
who gets the blame? Juicy Lucy for Sam Donald and
(04:27):
the Minnesota Vikings. Well, the Viking ship. I studied the Vikings.
When I was called the Viking ship would stink from
the quarterback down. You read that in all the educational books,
from the quarterback down. So we'll start with Sam Donald,
who came out. If you saw the beginning of the game,
and he was weaving magic at the beginning of the
(04:50):
it looked like he was back at San Clemente High
School in the OC, or at usc taking on Oregon
State or Stanford. The way that Donald was just torching
the Ram defense, cooking with gas in the first quarter.
Now he finished with ninety seven yards in the first quarter,
two touchdowns, no interceptions. And I had people that I
(05:12):
know in my circle who are I call them a holes,
They're called trolls, and they were texting me as I
was enjoying the game, and they were trying to bust
my balls at Sam Donald blows or the Rams blow
and Donald's great and.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Anyway, so something happened though, and I know when it happened.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I don't know why it happened. I'm not sure how
it happened.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
But it happened at the end of the first intermission,
the first intermission, that is when Sam Donald became punched
the clock guy, and he just punched the clock. And
it was a minimum day, a minimum day for Sam Dartlal.
(05:58):
How do we know it's a minimum day because Donald
was the Jets version of Sam Donald the rest of
the game. Now, what do I mean by that? He
sucked at a time you cannot suck. He did the
bare minimum. The Vikings only scored six points a couple
of field goals after that first quarter on slot. And
the evidence is overwhelming. It's direct evidence. Donald attempted seventeen
(06:21):
passes after the first quarter final forty five.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Minutes of the game.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
He was ten of seventeen, no touchdowns, no interceptions, a
passer rating of eighty six point one. And if you
look at the last three weeks and Sam Donald, Now,
the numbers have not been there. They have not been there,
and this is a spot for the Vikings. I know
it's a short week, but I trust me. I watched
every Ram game and the Rams have a bunch of
(06:49):
mattadors on defense, Oley Ole Ola Ole twenty fifth in
scoring defense, come into this game, twenty sixth in total defense,
and they bottled up the Vikings after the first quarter.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
That should not happen. I'm happy it did, but that
should not happen now.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
On the other hand, as we continue to unravel what
took place in this game, what the hell happened to
Brian Flores in the Viking defense statistically a handicap a
game like this, and in many key defensive categories the
Vikings had a top ten defense in some categories. They
had a top five defense statistically coming into this game.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Well, what happened was.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
A shot to the solar plexus, a gut punch. Because
the Rams got their guys back, Cooper Cup and Puka
Deakua and Minnesota, they had the Island life blues, short
week travel, all the excuses, what was me? They were
The B word bedraggled is what they were right short,
(07:53):
whether weather forecast has changed, the magic wand has been
lost in Minnesota, and they are right now. If you
look at the weather forecast in the Twin Cities for
the Vikings, there's a lot of purple haze over the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
They were rattled.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
It was a slack jawed performance. Nine penalties and the
Rams ended up getting extra five first downs by penalty.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Now, some of you seemed convinced that this.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Is all rigged and that the NFL wanted the Rams
to win and the Vikings to lose.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And we'll get to this more later. I'm not gonna
get do it right now. But the face mask called
the Vikings were down by eight, Sam.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Donald was clearly the Roland Ram players tackle them in
the end zone for a safety. But it was a
face mass penalty that the three blind referees did not see.
But that would not if you think Sam Donald was
going to lead the Vikings down after sucking for the
entire rest of the game and not only get a
touchdown but then a two point conversion, you are bonkers.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Okay, you're a loser, You're a loser.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
But to me, the story here is the Viking defense
The Rams got their guys back, and that was like
a bad navy. They gave up yards by land, by air,
and by sea. Kyrone Williams, who's a really good running back,
the Rams got him in the middle rounds out of
Notre Dame ninety seven yards on the ground. Matthew Stafford
averaged over eight yards per pass attempt. I mean he
(09:23):
did have an interception, but he always has one. It
was an all around frazzled effort by Minnesota. Now the
other side, how does this win change things for Sean McVay.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
And the Rams?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
So this is a massive I don't think we can
understate this, and I don't want to be the shock jock,
And why would I want to be that Those guys
get paid a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I don't. But here's my position on this.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Okay, the Rams, how does this win change things for
Sean mcvay's Rams. They grabbed the remote control, Okay, they
grabbed the imaginary remote control, and they hit the pause button.
They pause live TV is what they're doing. Okay, Because
here's why we are eleven days away from the musical
chairs stopping the game of musical chairs, and the music
(10:07):
will stop in eleven days.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
That's the trade deadline, right.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
The Rams in this game look like a legit NFC contender.
They had Cooper Cup, they had Pokin de Coua, and
this sets up the showdown in Seattle week nine. If
the Rams can muster up a win over a pretty
(10:33):
mediocre Seattle team and get back to five hundred, then
the move here for the Rams would be to abstain
from trading Cooper Cup.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Or Matthew Stafford or any of these guys.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
You never throw away a season, especially not now, especially
not now. If you look out at the serengetti in
the NFC and all the wide open land there, the
forty nine ers are blear and their weather beaten. The
Vikings appear to be bush whacked or should I say
darnold whack. The last couple of games, Seattle's got Geno Smith.
(11:09):
To any team with Gino Smith you cannot take seriously.
The Eagles, you have to say, there's something there, but
they still have a glitch. The Falcons you're not really
feeling it because of Kirk Cousins and the Packers. Okay,
maybe the Packers, but you feel like there's still some
fungus there on the cheese. There's still something rotting with
(11:33):
the packers.

of this World Series. Now, these are the two biggest
media markets in America, and these are the two sexiest
teams in baseball. But we're told the average ticket price
for Game number between the Yankees and the Dodgers is
(14:10):
the largest in the history of the secondary market.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
All right.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
In fact, no, only that for the entire World Series,
the whole shebang. This is the most expensive ticket in
the history of the World Series. The previous record was
when the Chicago Cubs ended a one hundred eight run
year run of futility, complete futility, and they beat the
(14:39):
Cleveland Indians in the way they were called the Indians
at that time.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
We can say that Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Indians.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
That was in twenty sixteen, so that was the previous record,
and you kind of get it right. Cubs, she had
multiple generations of Cub fans. It was their dying wish
to watch the Cubs in the World Series. And so
you understood that the Dodgers are in the World Series
every couple of years. The Yankees haven't been in the
World Series in a long time. But still it's not
(15:06):
like you'd have to be really young to say you
don't remember the Yankees in the World Series.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
They were there fifteen years ago.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
So the question as we discuss Dodgers and Yankees world
Series record setting ticket prices, big.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Deal, little deal, or no deal.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
So I've got playground, animniacs, and pharmacy grade, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make playball.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Is what We're gonna makeuse. I can't wait. I'll be watching.
I'll be sitting on my ass.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
I ain't paying a thousand dollars to go to Dodger stated,
but I'll be watching the Dodgers and the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So my first thought on the question of the.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
World Series ticket prices is this a big deal, a
little deal, or no deal. I have this as a
little deal. It's not no deal because it's a lot
of money. It's not a big deal because it's predictable.
Got on one side of the United States, the Wall
Street robber barons, right, the hedge fund Titans of Wall
Street versus tinsel Town, movie mogul money.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
And everything else.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
All the other rich people live in La So the
World Series is a playground for the wealthy, for the famous.
It's palpable. Elitism is what it is, right, It's to
be seen, to be heard, to see and I want
to look at you and all that stuff. So everyone
is hoping to be noticed by important or fashionable people
(16:37):
at the World Series. And inflation is out of control.
You might think it's bad buying a carton of milk
or a block of cheese or some bread, but real
inflation is being a loyal sports fan. The tyrants who
run these sports leagues are over the top with they
(17:00):
are greed. It's unreal if you look at the inflation
for tickets.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So it's not a news story. There's no end in sight.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
The only way it stops is if people stop spending
the money, and people have not shown that they're willing
to do that. And if they did, the ticket prices
would come down, and that would be a change.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
It would be panic.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I've said this before. The most powerful thing in all
of sports is the a word apathy. If you have apathy,
then they freak out because.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
That is the death of the business. That is it.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Now another storyline I wanted to mention here the Dodgers
and their game number one starter and whether or not
he's being set up here for a Debacle's talk about
Jack Flaherty, who's going to start Game one, and the headline,
which is bouncing around you gotta fill time. I understand
that you got to blog the fill You got a
(17:57):
social media you gotta get some clicks. The headline is
the Dodgers are concerned about Jack Flaherty's velocity dip right,
and they're worried about this. He's not throwing as hard
as he did Game five of the National League Championship Series.
His fastball velocity was not very good, not very good,
(18:18):
and so the quote from the Dodger pitching coach Mark
Pryor was moderately concerned. That was the quote, So are
you moderately concerned about Jack Flaherty And I'll go for
I am not. I expect him to go out there
and pitch well. He's not on the road.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I guess he's got the hebgb's on the road.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
He's at Dodger Stadium, friendly confines, you know, hometown, all
that stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
And he pitched well in that ballpark. In his previous
start in the playoffs, hes sucked on the road. So
he's at home.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I expect him pitchwell. And this story annoys me. And
the reason he annoys me is one of the flaws
the Dodgers have is they are such velocity whores.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I'm old school. I guess I didn't realize that this
is still a thing. But you can. I know this
is gonna blow you away. Call me a boomer right now.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
You can get hitters out without throwing it past them.
You can use gile, guts and gile as a pitcher,
and they used to. This is going to really shock you.
But they had something called the art of pitching and
it was deception. And yeah, I know it's crazy for
me too. Yeah, So God forbid. Jack Flaherty goes out
(19:34):
there and uses a little deception. Oh you're such you're
such a loser, all right. Now, staying with baseball, Major
League Commissioner Rob Manford, or as we like to call him,
man Fraud, recently said that he expects to implement the
automated strikes on within the.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Next four years. How does this one vibe with you?
All right?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
So it is the next chapter in Rob Manford recreating
the ani Maniacs cartoon from back in the day, The
Animaniacs cartoon. You know that pinky in the brain? What
are you gonna do tonight? I'm and try to take
over the world.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
And that's what Rob Manford's doing.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Ghost runners, check, pitch clock check check, bigger basis check
check check.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Banning the shift check check check check.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
No takeout slides at second base or home plate checkchick
check check check mandating batters or pitchers face minimum number
of batters out of.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
The bullpen checkchick check, chick check. So this is on brand.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
This is what Rob Manford does, and I believe it
will happen much sooner than four years. The automated strike
zone will also allow Major League Baseball to use Big
Brother to generate a tentacle like appendage to manipulate desired outcomes.
(21:01):
If they so choose humans, at some point in the
equation will have to set up the algorithm for the
strike zone, which obviously leaves room for some funny business
for manipulation.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
And anytime you have humans.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Involved, you cannot have the automated strikes on without a
human setting it up, So therefore it is fallible and
planning that out there, all right, final fun Quickly we
go to pro bouncy Ball and the games are not
(21:35):
great talk radio, but the stories in the NBA often are.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Here's an example.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
The season started a couple of nights ago, the NBA
has already opened up an investigation into MVP Joel Embiid's
plans to essentially never play in back to back games
again for some reason, and Bed decided to announce this
with the Sixers that he just can not handle his
(22:01):
body cannot handle playing back to back in well. Charles Barkley,
the gold standard for sporting commentary. Charles Barkley got on
the bully pulpit on TNT and unloaded on the Sixer Star.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I believe we have the audio, Yes, I think we
do all right, very good.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Here is Charles Barkley, and listen to him and his
thoughts on Joel mb Man.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
I don't have any idea what the Sixers are doing.
You know, I don't think it's fair. Now listen, I
want I want to get this number right because this
is crazy and blessed a kid.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Number one.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
He just signed for three years, one hundred and ninety
three million dollars, three years, one hundred and nine three
million dollars to play basketball. We're not still workers. We're
not nurses like people who got like real jobs who
have to work forty to fifty hours a week. We're
playing basketball at the most four days a week, most
(23:00):
of the time three days a week. He has the
best back up in the league.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Yeah, and they talk about Andrew Drummond there. But what
did you make of Charles bark And there was more?
What did you make of his lecture about Joel Embiid
and load management? So for me, this was frosted flakes, right,
Joel Embiid Not only is he frosted flakes, but they're great.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Charles Barkley's words were great.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
You know, it shows you the dichotomy between the NBA
world and the real world. Now, I know there's a
lot of fanboys that whatever the athletes do, they're called
jock sniffers, and they support the athletes no matter what.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
But there used to be.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Adults in the room, like Charles Barkley who would say
this is ridiculous, this is absurd, right, And the NBA
is at a point now where they don't even pretend
to say that there's a problem with it.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Like Joel ANDB lives in a bubble. Joel and B.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
He lives in a world where he's insulated from the
reality of the world that he feels no guilt, no
shame in taking one hundred and ninety three million dollar contract,
as Charles Barkley said, there and not be a being
able to fulfill the contract. Now, I've seen the standard
verbiage in professional sports contracts, and there is a fitness requirement.
(24:22):
And if embiid can't play back to back, wouldn't that
indicate that he can't meet the basic requirements for the contract,
thus voiding the contract. I'm just saying, I'm just saying,
can't play back to back games, and I take this show.
I've been very lucky. You guys have been wonderful for me.
You've supported this show for some reason. For many, many years.
(24:44):
I've been able to meet a lot of you going
around the country. We're doing a meet and greet in
Kansas City coming up in November. Hopefully I'll meet you
if you're in that area. But I've met a lot
of you, right, And many of you that listen to
this show are working in factories.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
You're truck drivers, your police officers.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
You've got jobs where you use your body, and your
body is your much like a paressional athlete uses their body.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
You use your body for your job.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
And you guys, based on the sample sizer, in your forties, fifties,
and sixties, and some of you are past the age
of retirement, and you're still working for whatever reason, right,
for whatever reason, and you're busting your ass ten or
twelve hours a day. A lot of you are working
your second or third job while listening to.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
This this show.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
And we have that world, and then we have the
Joelnbid world where one hundred and ninety three million dollar count.
You can't be troubled to play back to back years
and it would be a case why He's like, well,
just grab some pharmacy grade ibuprofen and rub subdurnal it.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And if you're unable to play, just retire right, just quick. Now.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
If you can't do the job, don't do the job.
Don't do a half assed job. And the NBA gave
us this dog and pony show and they claimed it
was a year ago.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I remember.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
It's like they had their own little vaccine. Everyone loves
the vaccine. They had a little vaccine for load management.
They did some study. They said, don't work load management
not effective? Well, the plague is alive, and well, not
only would Joel Embiid, but Kawhi Leonard with the Clippers
as well. It's just absurd.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
If you're unable to do the job, just don't do that.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Fine, there's somebody else will played basketball for the seventy
six ers.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
And if Kawhi Leonard left the Clippers, somebody.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Else would take his roster spot, and they would think
they're the luckiest person in the world.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
And maybe they'll actually turn out to be good. Who knows.
You know, it's possible.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
It's conceivable they might actually be good at basketball, and
they might actually play in back to back games.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
There we are, It's mallard. How about that?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Lion's which Dan Campbell said in a recent interview that
Jared Goff is playing like Drew Brees in his prime
with New Orleans.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
But how do you feel about the comparison?
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Yeah, well, it's it's nice of Dan Campbell to wear
knee pads. We're talking about his quarterback.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
But no, that's it's nonsense.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
It's hyperbole, and Drew Brees was consistently great, played well
in big games.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Jared Goff has played much better than I thought with
the Lions. But I'm not.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Ready to go down that road by Dan Campbell. In fact,
that is patently absurd. All right Now, if Golf wins
the super Bowl, fine that he evens up the trade.
But yeah, were talking about a Hall of Famer Jared Goff,
if he goes to the Hall of Fame, is gonna
buy a ticket next?
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Well, now that the Lakers have had their choreograph Lebron
and Brownie father Son moment that was so magical, how
often do you think Bronnie sees the court for the
Lakers moving forward.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Yeah, so I think they're gonna wait until people forget
about it a little bit, wait a week or two,
and then.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
He will be buried in the G League that they can't.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I don't think they'll do it right away because they
have to give the illusion that this was not a
total sham, even though everyone knows it was as big
as sham as sham Sharania his.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Name, but no, I mean, the whole thing's ridiculous. He
shouldn't mean the NBA.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
So they'll bury him on the G League and they'll
bring him back later in the year. But I think
they'll wait ten days or two weeks next.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
So, Aaron Rodgers appeared on Pat McAfee's show Tuesday to
insist that he did not eat his boogers, despite what
the viral video appears to show. Now, Ben, after your
minutes long Mallard investigation, Yeah, what is your final verdict
on booger Gate?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
All right? So I relate to this because as a child,
I ate my boogers. Yep.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
So that is a man that ate a nice juicy booger.
Aaron Rodgers, It was on camera just admit it, people,

The Last Dance until they do a prequel and then
it will be done.

Yeah, I mean supposedly this is the last Venom centric movie. Now,
this one has terrible reviews from the critics. Thirty six
percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but seventy seven percent from the
from the audience.
Speaker 7 (35:49):
So you know, it's probably just one of those your.
Speaker 6 (35:52):
Classic, not great comic book movie, but still enjoyable for

Also premiering this weekend in theaters is a movie called Conclave. Now,

Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow. And this one's getting great
reviews now.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
It is uh.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
It follows the selecting of the new pope and during
the conclave, the papal conclave, I believe it's called, Uh,
there's secrets that are unveiled in the dead pope's wake
which could shake the foundations of the church.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Oh, I hope not. I hope. Yes.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
So this one's actually got great review So I will
I will probably check this out and I'll let you

Speaker 3 (36:46):
How it is you ever been to the Vatican coop?

Speaker 4 (36:50):
Was it a game changing experience or were you like
just in the gift shop they're buying some.
Speaker 6 (36:54):
Su No, it was pretty awesome, actually, yeah, I'm not
a I'm not a religious person, but you know, there's
lots of history there and so it is. Yeah, and
well I also I climbed to the top of the
cathedral and you're in this like tiny little like staircase
that they used, and it was.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
It was pretty you go by the room where they
have the white smoke you know what they named.
Speaker 7 (37:16):
The Pope Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, it was. It was
pretty awesome. I definitely recommend if you know, for those
of you that ever are in Italy. The Pope was
on vacation when I was there.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Who knew was he in cancoon?
Speaker 7 (37:29):
Right? Like when does the pope get to go on vacation?
I mean I didn't see the Pope when I was there.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
I don't know. No, no, you weren't blessed by the Pope.
Speaker 7 (37:35):
No, you can have him blessed like your necklaces and stuff.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Oh yeah, but we did see because there's like this
has never happened before, but there's like the old pope
that still lives there, the guy that like stepped.
Speaker 7 (37:45):
Down and like declined being the Pope.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
Yeah, the German one, and so he lives in like
you know, the God be weird because.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Don't they bury the popes like right there? Right, Yeah
it is.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
It's a weird situation, but yeah, anyway, moving on to television,
we have a new limited series on Apple TV Plus.
It is available right now. It is a ten episode
psychological thriller. And this is the interesting part because it
stars Billy Crystal, not really known for psychological thrillers, but
(38:21):
he plays a recently widowed child psychiatrist who encounters a
troubled young boy who appears to have a connection to
his own past.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Yeah. Fun fact, I have had dinner.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
With Billy Crystal really at the basketball game and not
the most engaging guy.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
You know.
Speaker 7 (38:36):
That does not surprise me.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Neither am I. But he was worse than me, so
you know, I get it.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
I mean he's probably he probably has people plug him
all the time, but he was rather cold the same.
Speaker 7 (38:46):
Yeah, I kind of got that vibe.
Speaker 6 (38:49):
And then, last, but not least I want to mention,
available on Netflix right now. It is a documentary film.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
This is interesting.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
It's called The Remarkable Life of.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Iblin Iblin, so basically it is a creatively told documentary
about a Norwegian gamer who died from muscular dystrophy at
the age of twenty five, but it was after his
death that his parents discovered his vast and vibrant online
life that focused around his world of warcraft persona. And
(39:21):
apparently it's got rave reviews from the Sundays.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
It has a debilitating illness but was Internet famous.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
Yes, and his parents didn't even know about it until
after he died.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
That's why it's the Matrix Man. You can live a
whole different world.
Speaker 7 (39:34):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
So that movie is on Netflix and it is available
right now, and that is Koop Scoop Entertainment
