Danning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
We are in the air everywhere constituents, because we know
it is now time to make the donuts cos the coat, spoiler,
the motor and beyond on the vast end robustly powerful
microphones of FSRE.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Am monating live front, live ball the running of the
bull crap right here from the hallowed hallways of the
Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Benito, the long
suffering Cowboys fan, and this portion of the Ben Malor
Show on Fox made possible in part by our friends
(01:28):
over at ti Iraq. As alf the Alien Opiner knows,
for over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack
(01:48):
dot Com, the Way Tire Mining Show. So we're back
at it again as we slave away over the hot
microphones here at Fox Sports Radio. And if you're with
us for the full journey on the Red Eye flight,
chances are you will not be here the entire night
based on the the data, the data, the data data,
whatever you want to call it. So the show begins
(02:12):
here with a Mallard monologue as we work our way through,
and we'll have one every hour on the hour. You
give us an hour, we'll put you right to bed,
and in an hour two we have Mallard of the
third degree, and we'll mix in the Riddle of the
Day that'll be coming up an hour three the show.
We have asked Ben your questions are answers that'll be
an hour number three, and then fact or fiction in
(02:34):
our number four. But you'll be long gone, long gone
like a house on the side of the road by
our number four. So our lead this hour is from
Cannsa City and we go where the Ben Mallard, chicken
fingers are piping hot, and the news of the day
takes us to Kansas City. Now, there are a couple
of stories that caught my attention, but this one why
(03:00):
Old Tale a true crime mystery and supposedly that those
true crime shows are really popular. So if I just
send out a message saying, hey, we're doing true crime
over here on the mallor show the Overnight show, boom
big numbers. We're gonna in the description on the podcast,
We're going to put true crime Malar Mystery, and that'll
(03:20):
get amazing downloads. We get all the bots, all the
you know, because all these numbers are fake anyway, So
let's get a bunch of bots to download the podcast.
It'll be great. The true Crime box h right from
the heartland. So if you didn't see this, and and
maybe not, maybe you missed it. So we we learned
that a a bullet some would say a magic bullet
was fired into the office of Andy Reid. Yeah, that
(03:45):
Andy Reid, the guy that coaches the Chiefs, the big guy,
Andy Reid, fired into his office at the team facility.
Did this happen last night? Let me check my notes here, No,
it did not happen last night. This did happened last week.
Let me see here, No, it did not happen last week.
(04:06):
Let me see what must have happened like two weeks ago. Right,
we're just hearing about it two weeks ago. Let me
see here. No, no, it could No, that's not right. Now,
it turns out it actually happened last spring, last spring,
early May of twenty twenty four. So since then Kansas
City played not very well. They barely showed up and
(04:26):
lost a Super Bowl to the Philadelphia football team. Now,
the the newspaper that's hanging on by a thread there,
the Kansas City Star, tells us that Andy Reid was
working alone slavy over the in the midnight oil there,
burning the midnight oil, working alone in his offices is
in early May of twenty twenty four, and then bang
(04:48):
a bullet was fired from outside the building and broke
through the glass and left a hole through the window
and the blinds in Andy Reid's office. And the story
says it missed him by about fifteen feet. Now, you
might think fifteen feet is a kind of a wide
(05:10):
area had the basketball hoops ten feet high, But imagine
a bullet coming near you fifteen feet away, got lodged
in the wall. The story says, between his bathroom boy
and he's got his own bathroom. Man, he's doing well.
You know you're doing well when you've got your own
bathroom and the entire door or the entry door that
goes into his office it must be a large door,
must be a large door. So there was that and
(05:33):
two more bullets. So not just one, but two more
bullets also were fired at the chief facility and one
of them hitting the I guess there's the third floor there,
and another some outside air conditioning unit. So that was
clearly a bad shot. Has anyone been arrested? No, So
over a year later, it says, over over a year later,
(05:56):
we're closer to a year and a half. So let
us discuss the question where are you at on this
Andy Reid true crime shooting gallery story. So I've got
San Diego, Zoo, rom Com and Spirit Airlines, and we
will combine all these things, will throw them together. We're
(06:18):
gonna make a spicy stew is what we're going to make.
So a this got my attention. I said, there were
a couple of stories that got my attention. This one
was like next level, because I believe in the multiverse.
I believe in the multiverse, So there is a dimension
in the multiverse where this ended much differently. And could
you imagine the unthinkable, like if this had gone a
(06:41):
different direction, And like, how do you explain that? Like
just on a random night in May. Nothing going on
in the NFL in May. There's some workouts, that's about it.
It's the off season. It's just crazy Town, USA and
Andy Reid. And you can really say, when you look
at his career now and what he has done, Andy
(07:02):
Reid is a ragamuffin kitty cat. He's a fat cat.
He survived Donovan McNabb puking in the Super Bowl when
he was coaching the Eagles. He's survived Patrick Mahomes getting
a dad body from eating what a Burger at three
in the morning, and now he's apparently dodged live ammal
in his office. And the story came out of thin air.
(07:25):
And I looked it up four hundred and seventy days
after this originally happened, and not a leak, no story
right before the Super Bowl about Andy Reid, no sideline
report during the Super Bowl. Andy Reid, by the way,
was shot at back in May. None of that, not
a single week. And man, you talk about a crock pot. Man,
(07:50):
that's a slow cooked journalism right there, is what it is.
And so usually TMZ has this stuff within the hour dateline,
Missouri takes its time. So somebody in Kansas City was like, hey, yeah,
you remember when our coach, Remember when our head coach
almost got whacked last year? Yeah? Should we should we
(08:10):
let somebody in the media know about that? I guess, so,
I don't know what you do it. So they installed
bullet proof glass. Do you see this? They put bulletproof
glass up in Andy Reid's office after the fact, of course,
And so Andy right now is literally in a office
popemobile while he's watching film and eating cheeseburgers. You know,
(08:35):
he's got the cheeseburger in one hand, he's got the clicker.
On the other hand, he's got he's surrounded by by
bulletproof glass. I mean, I forget the walrus, you know,
one of the nicknames. Andy's got a lot of nicknames.
He's essentially living like a penguin at the San Diego Zoo.
He's behind glass, plexiglass and all that stuff. So the
zoo they say, because they don't want kids throwing stuff
(08:56):
at the penguins. But Andy, they just don't want the
bullets flying in there. So he's he's doing that. Now
I can relate to the story, Believe it or not.
I can relate to the story. Well, no, you can.
You've never been shot at. You want to bet I
have something in common with cheeseburger Buddha. So let's go
back in the hot tough time machine. It's story time
(09:18):
on the Ben Meyler Show. Yeah, so this goes back
a number of years. I was doing a late night
radio show much like this one, but it was actually
earlier with FSR alumni member Jim Daniels. You might remember,
if you've been listening to the network a long time,
Jim worked here for years. He's at Rock and Roll DJ.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So Jim Daniels and I were doing a sports show
together right here in La right there in the corner
of s. Paulvitt and Ventura, And we were in the
old studio which had these giant glass windows like good
Morning America. We could look in and see the people
chirping away into the microphones there. And it's a Sunday
night and all of a sudden bang bang by drive by.
(10:02):
Now no one was hit, but suddenly poof, poof major
street credit for yours. Truly, we went from two guys
talking about I don't know, the Patriots special teams or
whatever was going on at the time, to radio gang
Land survivors. Uh. For a minute, I felt kind of
like fifty cent, but I was wearing headphones. I'd had
(10:23):
headphones on the whole thing. And uh. And that was that.
And you know, just like Andy's mystery, no arrests were
made in that, and we we thought, we thought it
was a disgruntled former employee who might have done it,
but we never found out who did it, and they're
probably in Timbuck two now, and so the same deal.
It was unsolved and all that stuff. So we've got
(10:45):
our own unsolved mysteries episode right there. And Andy Reid's
hanging out there in Missouri were over in LA but
both ended up with the same outcome. The only difference
is we already had bulletproof class. See, we had they
had put bulletproof class I saw up. I guess realizing
our takes were so controversial that they had to put
that up. I don't know, but We're not in that
(11:05):
studio anymore, so you're screwed now, turning the page, we
head to Dallas. Why why not we go to Dallas?
And as where the NEPO baby Cowboy coach Brian Schottenheimer
he is a confident man. Not a good coach, but
a confident man. And the conversation centering on the status
(11:26):
of Edge rusher Micah Parsons. Daily Update, Daily update on
Michah Parsons. Will he be available inquiring minds, we'd like
to know September fourth, the season opener against the reigning
Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. So Schottenneimer was asked about that.
(11:48):
He said, quote, I think at the end of the day.
I love when people say at the end of the day,
because my day ends when the sun rises. When's your
day end? Seananneimer said, I think at the end of
the day, we feel like Mike is going to be
out there when we line up against Philadelphia. Here and
he said, this was yesterday, so fifteen days from hour.
(12:10):
This is our Thursday show, so it's two weeks from today.
He said, So question, what is your verdict? Give me
your verdict on Micah Parsons and his status for the
Cowboy regular season opener. So we know it's hot this
time of the year in Texas there, I think Frisco, Texas.
There it gets very hot. And on cue the contract drama,
(12:35):
O rama. In Jerry's world, all they're sweating. They're sweating
like a brisket and a smoker, a good Texas brisket.
And so Schottenneimer is playing the optimistic like stepdad here,
who thinks everything's going to be fine, nothing to worry about. Right.
Parsons has been holding in must be nice, not practicing,
(12:57):
not risking injury and all that, even though he is
under contract. And so this is the Cowboys playbook, and
I will repeat that for those of you in the
back of the room that have not turned up your
hearing aid. The Cowboys playbook is wait until the last
possible second, and then have a not one, but two
(13:17):
two Brinks trucks dump a bunch of gold bouyon on
the guy's lawn. They did it with Dak, they did
it with Ceedee Lamb. They'll try it with Micah Parsons.
And so at this point it's like watching a rom
com with your wife being forced to watch it or
you're not married your girlfriend where you know the couple
(13:38):
are gonna end up getting together in the end of
the show, but you still have to sit there and
pretend like they're not going to get together, and you
waste ninety minutes of your life with unnecessary drama. And
so it's the same concept. Now there is a dimension again,
the multiverse. If they don't hammer out a deal, what
does that mean. Do you think Mike is gonna get
(14:00):
a job and try to compete with our friend in
Minnesota the number one uber eats driver there in Minnesota,
or you think he's gonna go door dash, I don't know.
I mean this. And the guy's built like a Marvel
villain Micah Parsons and often plays amazing right like he's
got some kind of jet pack around his back there
(14:22):
until it's a big game, and then he plays like
a old Snoopy character Peppermint Patty. He's not he's not
gonna be delivering French fries or tacos or all that.
And so the mala verdict is he is gonna play.
There's no question with or without a deal. He's already
got a contract. So the risk here is the old
(14:43):
injury fake out where Micah Parsons embellishes an injury, goes
a wall. If you will, however he will, he'll, we'll
deal with that. When we get to that point. We
know Jerry's still trying to figure out, like what venmo is? Yeah,
what's around with your phone? What is that? I don't know,
I don't know what that is? All right? Last word?
(15:04):
Here we head to the Bay Air. We got a trade. Now,
we had a couple of trades in the NFL, but
I decided I'm only going to talk about one because
offensive people are better people. So we go there. The
forty nine Ers have acquired wide receiver sky More. Huh, yeah,
that's Sky with two wys, Sky with two wise. Oh
(15:26):
wait a minute, I thought Sky only had one eye?
Why two Wyse? So sky Moore a trade between Kansas
City and the forty nine ers, teams that have matched
up in recent years in some pretty big games, and
that will flip in the trade. From what I understand here,
the trade is sky Moore goes from Kansas City home
with the ben mallor chicken fingers. He goes over there
(15:47):
to Santa Clara and they flip a sixth round pick
and a seventh round pick, but not next year. That's
not till twenty twenty seven. So what does all this
tell you? What does all this tell you? So it
tells me I'm gonna go first. It tells me that
the Niners are. They're shopping like Mike colleague Rob Parker
here at Fox Sports Radio, at the NFL's version of
(16:08):
a discount rack. They go into Ross Dress for Less,
like Rob Parker, and they're digging around there for a
shirt and they find one. Is it looks pretty good,
so kind of wrinkled, and it's got a coffee stain
on it, and they're like, well, I mean, I don't
know that I want it, but it's only three ninety nine.
And then I can send it out on Instagram and
people say, oh wow, you got that shirt for three
(16:28):
ninety nine. That's essentially sky Moore at this point, right,
that is a magic sky Moore is a magician. He
is abracadabra. Now the Niners need warm bodies. Kyle Shanahan's
looking at the depth chart. He's like, man, we're screwed,
you know, get me somebody with a pulse. And they're, well,
we got this guy. Not a good pulse, but sky Moore,
why not? Doesn't matter if he's productive. The magician part
(16:51):
of sky Moore is he is an example of why
the draft is for Gayzy. This is what I talk
about this all the time. Sky Moore was drafted and
the second round, and having done NFL draft shows for years,
when someone's drafting the second round, a number of the
fans have their pants around their ankles. They're so excited.
Oh my god, we got a wide receiver for the
(17:12):
next ten years, a second round pick. Oh mg, and
he gets to play with my Hoomes Hall week crap, Well,
he got to play with the homes sky More. He
played with Travis Kelsey, soaking up double coverages, Andy Reid
Hall of Famer, dialing up plays and dodging bullets. And
yet turns out the guy sucks sky Moore. Forget the
(17:35):
sky He couldn't get off the ground. Sky More in
Kansas City, it's like flying Spirit Airlines. You're in the
middle seat. You got a fat guy to the right,
you got a fat lady to the left. There's turbulence
and there's a crying baby right in front of you.
That's it. That's the sky More experience. The compensation tells
you the whole story. Oh, you always go to the
compensation right because sometimes they get it wrong, but most
(17:57):
of the time. Kansas City flipping a second round pick
back in twenty twenty two for a pick swap in
twenty twenty seven, five years down the road. It's kind
of like buying bitcoin at the peak. It's a sore
of subject for me, but buying bitcoin and then realizing, well,
(18:17):
I don't know, I clicked the wrong button and I
bought doge coin instead. Now, Kansas City thought they had
the crypto rocket ship. They were ready to go to
the moon, to the moon, to the moon, to the
moon to the moon. Instead they got like a like
a meme coin is what they got. And so you
got Mahomes out there, one of the all time graades
throwing dimes and sky Moore treating the football like it's
(18:40):
a hot potato. And they're playing a game at a
park somewhere a family picnic, and it's not going well.
It's just not going well.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Could it be an NFL head coach heading to the
penalty box before the season begins? Say it ain't, so
we'll explain Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere
ordinary people. As we together, we're gonna reach a boiling
(19:48):
point here coast to coast, border to border and beyond
on the vast and flavorfully powerful microphones of fs are
amminating live from the active the radioactive universe, the Fox
Sports Radio Studios, as approved by the famous performer known
(20:09):
for Hey Mona Kathy in Madison, who knows that this
portion of the Ben Maler Show just like Spacoli. Listening
to these redded podcasts because he works the daytime hours
and this portion made possible by Tire rackt For over
forty years, tyraq has been helping customers like you find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
(20:30):
ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot
com the Way Tire Buying show b So our lead
this hour is from the speculation machine. We'll call it
Urban planning. Urban Planning is an NFL head coach in
(20:54):
jeopardy of being suspended as the season begins two weeks
from today, the lidlifter in the NFL. Two weeks from today,
the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles and they take on the
Dallas Cowboys and that Thursday night lidlifter. And there's some
chatter about a coach getting some trouble. I don't saw
(21:16):
this or not, maybe not talking about Jim Harbaugh, the
Chargers head coach and if you missed it, former Jacksonville
coach for like a month, urban Meyer urban Meyer. So
urban Meyer says that the NFL should suspend Jim Harbaugh.
(21:39):
What Yeah, urban Meyer said because of the Michigan signs
stealing scandal. He says that there is precedent here, the
elephant in the room or in this case, the wolverine
in the room. And he says that the old Buck
guys coach, not him, but Jim Tressel got suspended because
(22:01):
of issues that took place while he was at the
Ohio State University. Urban Meyer told the story. He said, listen,
Jim Tressel went to the Colts and they made him
sit out six games, according to urban Meyer, six games
because the league honored the ncublea's punishment. Now, there are
(22:23):
some people that believe the NFL will ultimately take some
kind of action against Jim Harbaugh. There is an issue
whether or not precedent is legitimately involved in this. To
this point, however, the league has been radio silent. They
have not commented on the status of the LA Chargers
head coach. So let us discuss the question. My question
(22:46):
is this, what do you suppose the NFL will do
with Jim Harbaugh and any punishment. So I've got my
observations here, I've got pecan Pi, Airfrar and the amazing
Randy and we will combine all of these things together
and we're going to make some billable hours, some billable hours.
(23:06):
Over the years, we've had some legal beagles, some lawyers
that stay up late because they actually work on like
a lot of lawyers that don't work, but these guys
actually work, and they stay up late in their office
or in their in their home and putting stuff together.
So here's a number. Why I spent about a minute
(23:29):
about a minute deliberating this. Didn't want to go too long.
It's an overnight show. And I've determined what the NFL
punishment to Jim Harbaugh will be. I've got three words here,
three words. This is the NFL's punishment. I've got I
wrote down on my scorecard. Bupkis, zip bo and squad douche.
(23:50):
That's it. That's that's the three right there for Terry
in England. So Urban Meyer, you know he's doing. He's
talking out of his padunkadunk his way. I'm telling you
that's what he's doing. I think my theory is because
he's still mad, because remember he was getting the lap
dance and that went viral and all that, and that
(24:12):
was the end of Urban Meyer, the beginning of the
end of Urban Meyers. An NFL head coach. Of course
the team sucked. And by the way, as far as
the Jim Trestle thing, Jim tressel I looked it up.
He was a replay assistant for the Indianapolis colt he
was a consultant. So that's like suspending the person that
(24:32):
gets the gatorade buckets out of the storage facility. What's
that about Jim Harbaugh here, the head coach of the charge.
You think that that guy Dean Spanos is just gonna say, ah,
we got no problem. If you want to suspend my coach,
go ahead. It doesn't matter for something he did in
(24:53):
ann Arbor, Michigan. Like, there's no chance, there's no chance
of that having If the NFL, I'm telling you, mark
my words, and I'm never wrong about these things. If
the NFL tries to force Jim Harball to even miss
a slice of pecan pie for dessert after he eats dinner,
(25:15):
the NFL says, well, your punishment, Jim, is you can't
have pecan pie after dinner. You're gonna have to eat
apple pie. Now it was a I like apple pie,
but you're gonna have to eat apple pie that's store
brand and is almost expired rather than fresh pecan pie.
Guess what, Jim Harball will sue the NFL back to
(25:38):
the Stone Age, and he's gonna win because you know why,
he wasn't an NFL employee when this happened. Hello, right,
what about Jim Trussel. It's a non starter. It's a
non star. Now what is my evidence? I would like
you to look over at John Gruden, who currently is now.
(26:00):
The race is not over, the game is not over,
the scoreboard has not gone final. But at this point,
John Gruden is beating the NFL in court, and the
NFL needs their cronies on the Supreme Court to bail
them out. The league is already in hot water for
punishing John Gruden over the emails that he said while
(26:24):
he was not employed by the NFL. So do they
want to risk this again? Do they want to make
a repeat mistake with Jim Harbaugh? And what I know
about Jim Harball is he's rich, he's got lawyers, and
he's got a large ego. Those are three things I
(26:44):
know about Jim Harbor. So you think he's gonna say, ah, yeah, okay,
I'll sit out six games. I'll go surf somewhere, and
I'll go down to down to Newport or La goon
Is somewhere, and I'll go serf no. Right, So here's
the deal. The I'm gona tell you what's gonna happen.
The NFL is gonna loo at this. They'll say nothing,
and it'll kind of go away, and then urban Meyer
(27:06):
will go pound sand somewhere and that's it. And then
Jim Harball will be on the sideline to believe the
charges open up with I think it's Kansas City right
week one there, I know they're in Brazil to begin
the NFL season, and he'll be screaming at the referees
and thinking he's back coaching in Columbus against Ohio State
or something like that. Like, hey, Jimm's Week one of
the NFL. The only thing Jim Harbaugh is in danger
(27:27):
of getting suspended for is khaki pants. That's it. Like
the khakis he wears they can get in trouble with that.
Right now, Moving on from that, we head to page
two Indianapolis. We go follow up to the follow up,
follow up to the follow up. So Daniel Jones has
been asked the question and he has responded to the
(27:48):
question Why is anything going to be different with the Colts.
You sucked with the Giants, So why would anyone think
things are going to be better with the team in Indianapolis?
And Jones said, quote, I think every situation is different,
he said, telling reporters every season is different. I'm growing
and developing as a player constantly, he said. He went
(28:13):
on to say a lot of things go into it.
I think I am prepared, Daniel Jones said, and will
continue to work hard. All right, So what did you
take away from Daniel Jones explaining his second act with
the Colts is going to be different? So the first
thought I had is this is really ground baking. It's groundbreaking,
(28:34):
it's glass shattering commentary from Daniel Jones. It is I've
never heard an athlete say that. This is like saying
I'll be better at chess this time because I'm using
a different board. Well, no, it's the same. It's the
same game. No, No, the board's different, the boards different. Yeah,
I'm sorry, Danny boy. Right, you still got to move
(28:55):
the pieces around and all that stuff. You've got to
navigate everything that the NFL. It's not some kind of
group therapy session. Oh, it's getting closer to that. It's
getting closer to that, it's not there yet. And the
line that I loved was I'm growing and developing as
a player constantly right off sportscliche dot com. So I'm
gonna ask you a question, serious question. What does that
(29:16):
even mean? Like, that's the kind of thing you say
when your statue. You look at your statuet and you've
got to like put it near your your eyes. You're like, whoa,
that's like a one of those Sudoku puzzles, Right, is
a twenty four forty four and one twenty four to
forty four and one as a starter. That is not growth.
(29:38):
That is erosion. That's the coastline eroding back into the ocean. Right.
It's perfect Danny Dimes. Right. The guy talks like he's
some middle manager on LinkedIn who just got whacked from
his job. He's like, I am prepared and I will
continue to work hard, no life, no feeling. But I
(30:00):
am happy that you're cutting and pasting that, because that's
never been said by any quarterback every you know, this
is the first time in my life that a quarterback
has said that I am going to again be prepared
and work hard. Never happens, and I'm sure he'll say
that right after he throws a pick six on a
bubble screen. That's it. So yeah, people say it's a
(30:24):
fresh start, it's not. It's a relocation of mediocrity, is
what it is. It's it's kind of like if you
have a broken air fryer and you change apartments, You're like,
in the back of my dad bounced from apartment to apartment.
So you change apartments, You're like, of course they didn't
have air friers back then, but you change apartments and
just go with the story, and you're like, I'm not
(30:46):
gonna buy a new air fraw, I'm gonna take the
old air fryer, and magically it's gonna work. Just because
I moved, it's gonna work. Spoiler alert, it's still not
gonna it's not gonna turn on. If it does turn on,
it's gonna sputter a little bit, and it's it's gonna disappoint.
It's gonna this point. And so the colts, I look
at this on the outside, they're treating Daniel Jones like
a fixer upper with good bones. I think that show
(31:10):
was filmed in Indianapolis on HG TV. Good bones, and
I look at it on the outside and I'm like, well, no,
he's a quarterback version of a house that's got black
mold and a cracked foundation. You don't renovate it, you
bulldoze it. And that's it, right. And Jones. The other
(31:31):
thing about this is he clearly needs validation. He's like
a guy. And we've all seen these dopes, and there's
women that do it, more women than men that do it.
But they posted the Jim selfies and the guys will
always say, oh, the grind never stops. And I'm like, oh,
that guy's at JABRONI, that guy's at Gibroni's that guy's
a meat ed But listen, we get it. Dude. You're
(31:51):
at the gym. Congratulations, you want a cookie. You're working hard.
Guess what most people are doing some kind of exercise
otherwise you become a blob. Right, you want credit for effort.
That's not how it works. It's the NFL all that stuff,
blah blah, it's not Pop Warner any Jones continues to
have almost no substance. He's got less substance than a
(32:16):
protein shake made with skimmed milk. And you know, a
bunch of broken dreams tossed in there for flavor. And
so it's always those things, right, Well, don't tell me,
don't tell me. Ah, yeah, I'm gonna do this. I'm
gonna do that, all that stuff. Now show me what
you did, and then you can tell me how you
did it after you've done it all. Right, now, final point.
(32:39):
We go back to the story. In Indianapolis, there was
a humdinger. Now this was full credit in US. I
did not see this. It was sent in by a
listener who knows the show and knows what I think
is red meat doing the talk show. So I want
to think. I believe his name is Mike. He's not
in Indianapolis, but he's somewhere in Indiana, and he says
small town and yeah, he listens a couple hours at night.
(33:02):
And so he sent me this quote. He said, Ben,
why didn't you mention this? That's why I didn't see it.
That's why I didn't mention it. So now I'm aware
of it, so I'm going to talk about it right now.
So this is Shane Steiken. You don't know who that is,
likely unless you're an Indianapolis and a Colts fan. He's
the head coach there, and he was peppered with questions
on why should the fan, why should the season ticket
(33:25):
holder of the Colts believe in Daniel Jones? He was
an abject failure with the Giants. And Shane Stiken paused
for a second. It wasn't a long pause, brief pause,
and he said, I think that he meaning Daniel Jones,
has proven that he's played good football in that twenty
(33:47):
twenty two season. Stikeen stated he had a hell of
a year that year. The coach said, I think that
was the highest completion rate in New York Giants franchise
history that season. Stiking quote continues on Daniel Jones quote,
He's proven to do it. I know he's had his
(34:11):
ups and downs, but everyone's journey is different, and we
feel confident in his abilities. Close quote question, how would
you grade Shane Steiken's defense for Daniel Jones proving he
can get it done with the Colts didn't get it
done with the Giants. How he's gonna get it done
(34:33):
with the Colts. So that was a masterclass in football
gas lighting with a capital G. So let's break this
apart scientifically. We'll put it under the Mallard microscope. So
the quote, the first quote that stood out, Jones had
a hell of a year in twenty twenty two. Now
a coach, it's Ben Mallor. I do a little overnight
(34:55):
show here at Fox Sport rated coach. Yeah, that year
where he had a hell of the giant offense looked
like it was powered by a rotary phone. Who are
you talking about? They won a playoff game against the Vikings.
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, they beat Kirk Cousins of the playoffs.
That's true. You know where the Giants passing offense ranked
(35:17):
with Daniel Jones, Yeah, they were twenty sixth in the
NFL in twenty twenty two. That's a hell of a year.
Can I have Shane Steikeen is my boss creating my work.
If that's a hell of a year, that's a hell
of a year if you're at a haunted house for checkdowns.
(35:39):
So Shane Steikeen is really telling the Indianapolis fan listen.
I know it didn't work out with the Giants, but
it's gonna work out now. And I'm your financial advisor,
and I would like you to buy on your app
on your phone where you buy stocks. I would like
you to invest in Radio Shack. I want you to
buy Radio Shack stock in twenty twenty five because they're
gonna make a big comeback. Okay uh. He said, Jones
(36:02):
had the highest completion rate in Giant's history, and while true,
you know what that means if you go back and
look at the tape there were a lot of three
yard slants to Richie James back in twenty twenty two.
It's kind of like bragging that your kid is an
honors student, got straight a's, and you don't explain the
(36:24):
rest of the story. As the Great Paul Harvey would say,
all of the kids classes were gym classes. It's the
amazing randy of quarterback spin, sleight of hand, smoking mirrors.
That's a little salesman razzle, dazzle and all that. Like
the Colts quarterback Plan. They're not rebuilding, they're rebranding failure.
(36:49):
Like all right, we got this furniture that's kind of
old and it smells musty. Let's just move it around,
why not? And steichen sound If you remember, I used
to watch The Simpsons. I haven't watched it much recently,
but Homer's had a great quote one time. He said
everybody is stupid except me. And that's what Shane Steichen
sounds like. Sounds like Homer Simpson. Everybody is stupid except me.
(37:09):
Now I get it. He's got to defend the indefensible decision.
There was no good decision because either way, the Colts
were absolutely poorked here. If they had gone with Anthony Richardson,
well he sucks, he can't play. And they brought in
Daniel Jones, and we know, we know more that Daniel
Jones sucks than Anthony richards So this was a combo platter.
(37:30):
It was a combo platter for the Colts. And he's like, well,
I got optimism, but there's also a delusion.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
It's really leaned in. He leaned into coach me. It's like,
let me cherry pick a mid tier stat and I'm
going to wrap that mid tier stat. I'm going to
wrap it up in a blanket of hope, hope blanket,
and I'm going to serve it to the fan base
like it's filet Minon and which he really is. You
(38:00):
just reheated four day old meat loaf is what you'd
unseasoned four day old meat loaf. Congratulations, Way to go.
Coach Way to Go.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
About a month ago, it was reported buying an anonymous
insider that it would take a godfather offer for the
Giants to trade Jamis Winston. Back then, you said you
weren't buying it. Now, Giants assistant GM Brandon Brown said,
I appreciate people that are interested, but Jamis is a
New York giant. Ben, are you having you now?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Well, he is a New York giant. No, I don't
believe it. Listen, that's how you play the game. You said, Well,
I'm not going to talk about hypotheticals. They always do
that bull crap. I'm not gonna talk about hypotheticals. Blah
blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
If I'm if I've got this right as I understand it,
Russell Wilson's going to start at some point, Jackson Dart
with an X is going to play. So what's the
way if if someone's gonna trade you a conditional fifth
round pick for Jamis Winston and he's not gonna play.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Trade him next Nearly two months into NBA free agency
and Russell Westbrook is still without a team. It's even
being reported that he could remain unsigned by the start
of the season, Ben, do you think that will happen?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Well, I thought he was gonna go to Sacramento. That
was the hot rumor, and I guess that fizzled out.
And uh, you know, Russell, he'll be in the NBA somewhere,
he'll be He'll be in the NBA. He's gonna be
on a team. Uh, And it's gonna it's not obviously
not gonna happen till before training camp. But I don't
believe that he's going to be unemployed when the season
starts next.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Mariners outfielder Victor Billbleisz was suspended ten games for an
incident earlier this week, when he hurled a bat at
a pitcher after getting hit by a pitch during a
rehab assignment. Ben, do you think he got off easy?
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Yes, you you don't. That's it. You cannot do that.
You can't throw the bat, you can't do it. There's
a lot of things you can do and they'll look
the other way. I mean, you go through baseball history
that you can kill some No, how do we do cooogy?
I'm as you can bludgeon someone with.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
Right, Ben, We're gonna start with a good one from
Lady Sideburns.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Hi, Lady Sideburns one of my favorite of all the
women that have sideburns, Lady Sideburns is my favorite.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
I don't think that we have ever been asked this before.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Okay, a new question. We always get the same questions,
but this is a new question. Original question.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
Sided crew, Which foot do you put your shoe on first?
Speaker 1 (41:18):
So when it comes to this, I'm ambidexterous. I am Okay.
Some days I do the right foot, some days I
do the left foot. It's not the same every day.
It's not there's no rhyme or reason to it. It's
some days I go right, some days I go to
the left. That's Lorena, gosh, this is a very difficult question.
Speaker 7 (41:41):
It's got to be the right foot first, because I
just put my foot directly in the shoe.
Speaker 8 (41:44):
I don't even like bend down anymore. I just put
the foot.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Saw is there a saw?
Speaker 4 (41:49):
You know?
Speaker 8 (41:49):
It would be my right foot first? Then?
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Really?
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Really?
Speaker 8 (41:52):
Yeah, because I put my right foot over my left leg.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Interesting, okay, cool, I am the opposite.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
See.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
I initially when I read the question, I was like, oh,
I think I do both, And then I sat and
thought about it, and it is my left foot every
single time. That's the first one.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Okay. No, No, I'm more advanced. I can do the
right or the left. You know. It's more open minded
than you are. Cool. So that's but what is next
year's ask? Ben? Your questions are answers for the rest
of the hour.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
All right, let's see, we're gonna go with this. One's dangerous.
A JT the Wingman.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Hi JT. I met him at Many Malla Meet Grease.
JT is a big fan of show. I met him
in South Carolina. He was in Vegas last year. He's
been all over the place.
Speaker 3 (42:40):
He says, what is your favorite guilty pleasure in Las Vegas?
Speaker 1 (42:45):
You know, I just love walking. I don't know it's
a guilty pleasure. I love walking around Fremont Street. It's
like a human zoo. They don't charge for it, and
just walking around and seeing all the characters around Vegas
and all that stuff. So I know that's really a
guilty pleasure.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
I gamble, obviously, I've been on sports and stuff like that.
But I I don't. I guess I'm boring. I don't
really something I really really do. That's tab But what
about you, well, Lorena, I don't know if you talk
about it? Hold on, all right, here we go, here
we go.
Speaker 8 (43:17):
Gosh.
Speaker 7 (43:18):
I love getting super fancy and then making sure everyone's
staring as I walk around. And I love drinking the
most egregious martinis in the nicest dresses.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
That's what I like doing okay, you like, are you
one of those people that gets the glass that's down
to your your ankle?
Speaker 8 (43:33):
You know those will make you puke. Don't drink those?
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Why will they make you pukee.
Speaker 8 (43:38):
Is they're full of sugar?
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Oh okay, my friend, those are all over the place.
Speaker 8 (43:42):
Man, Yeah, they're so bad.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
All right? Cool?
Speaker 3 (43:47):
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Oh, speakeasy swingers club? You're going to? All right? What's
next year? What do we got? Coolhere? We got? Here?
Speaker 2 (43:57):
We go?
Speaker 3 (43:58):
This question from fer Dawn. Hi, Fergie, would you rather
only be able to scream or whisper when you talk?
I mean the time? No normal voice?
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (44:12):
Like?
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Both would both would suck? I guess I'd go screaming.
I would. I don't talk much if I if I
had that, I wouldn't talk much. But you scream. I
want people to hear you, so I'll go scream. What
about you? Rader?
Speaker 8 (44:25):
Obviously screaming?
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Yeah, obviously obviously I was gonna say whisper.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
But I mean, you guys both being so adamant about it,
it's making me double guess my my pick.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
If you whisper, you might as well not be able
to talk. Nobody can hear you, so give.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
You every time you scream, Like eventually people will be like,
I don't want to hang out that guy. It's very
it's very loud and annoying.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
Good. What's next year? What do we have?
Speaker 3 (44:53):
Alf?
Speaker 1 (44:53):
The alien?
Speaker 3 (44:54):
O piner hi Alf he would have.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
Not made him someday I'm gonna meet him.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
Go ahead, Yes, he would like to know fries or
onion rings? And also isn't it great when you get
one of the other mixed in with your order?
Speaker 1 (45:04):
Yeah? And if I ever end up working in fast
food and a few more bad jos, I probably will.
I'm gonna be the guy that puts extra fries at
the bottom of the back. That's my move.
Speaker 6 (45:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
I read one of these marketing books that I read
a while back, and they said that five guys now
five guys gouges you and I don't go there anymore
because it's too expensive. But they said, part of the
original appeal of five guys is they intentionally overfilled the
fries because they knew the customer would it. Boy, I'm
getting a lot, you know, getting I'm getting more banged
from my buck. And it was a little marketing trick,
(45:38):
and it worked until they raised the price of the
fry and then people realize, well, I'm getting a lot,
but I ain't going there. But yeah, friser. I eat
many more fries than onion rings. The problem with onion
rings is it's got to be properly fried and breaded.
If it's too big, the onion ring and there's too
much just the onion's too big. The onion to breading
(45:59):
race got to be right, and very few places do
it right. So I'll go Potato, I'll go the I'll
go the fry. Lorena.
Speaker 8 (46:06):
Oh, I love a good onion ring.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
Well I do, don't get me wrong. I love a
good ring because.
Speaker 8 (46:11):
That's like a delicacy, you know what I'm saying. Like
fries are an everyday thing. But but I don't want
to fancy.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
I don't want to eat an onion ring that's the
size of a bagel. I don't want.
Speaker 7 (46:20):
Really, I love it, though I have to like bite
in one side and then go around like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
No, the onion is too big. That is bad onions ratio.
Speaker 3 (46:31):
Baddion etiquette.
Speaker 8 (46:32):
I'm gonna go onion ring.
Speaker 3 (46:35):
Cool now see, I think the onion ring is a
is a treat. I like it, Like Loraina, I don't
know that I could every time get onion rings. Uh,
the fries are more of an everyday thing for sure,
but a bomb onion ring completely trumps like bomb fries.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
However, though the potato you get everything out of the potato,
get the fry, but you get potato wedges out of
the potato, you get the crinkle cut. Those are considered
fries as well. So like the onion ring, Yeah, there's
thick onion rings and there's thin on you ring, but
there's only a couple of different ways to make on
your ring. The potato, though, you can even drink the
potato and make it alcohol, So it's you go with
(47:17):
the potato. All right, What's next?
Speaker 3 (47:19):
The King Rory would like to know. Have you ever
bought a product off the TV?
Speaker 1 (47:24):
Oh? Got yeah, Well, I'm of the age like before
before the internet. Back in my day, I loved late
night infomercials. Me and my brother bought this car wax
because the guy lit the car on fire with the
wax and we thought, oh man, we got we gotta
beat you know, our grandpa's car, where we'll light it
on fire and so we bought some car wax, and
(47:45):
I bought a couple of other things off those infomercials.
But yeah, I bought probably less than five, but more
than two.
Speaker 8 (47:54):
Lorena shockingly, no, I know my grandma.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
Did you know?
Speaker 8 (47:58):
It's an old person thing, not not so much of
me thing.
Speaker 1 (48:00):
Well, thank you, Lorain, I appreciate that. Coop. We'll go
ahead there.
Speaker 3 (48:03):
Cool. Yes, I have like a magic role back in
the day.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Yeah, you're an old person.
Speaker 3 (48:09):
Magic at home. We'll start to do this real quick.
What is your favorite commercial jingle?
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Oscar Mayer, I'll go ahead.
Speaker 7 (48:17):
That's from Rob the Goman one eight hundred and five
eight eight two three.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Today what about cars for kids? Yeah, that's that's a
good one too. Won't get eleven

Am monating live front, live ball the running of the
bull crap right here from the hallowed hallways of the
Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Benito, the long
suffering Cowboys fan, and this portion of the Ben Malor
Show on Fox made possible in part by our friends
(01:28):
over at ti Iraq. As alf the Alien Opiner knows,
for over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers find

chances are you will not be here the entire night
based on the the data, the data, the data data,
whatever you want to call it. So the show begins
(02:12):
here with a Mallard monologue as we work our way through,
and we'll have one every hour on the hour. You
give us an hour, we'll put you right to bed,
and in an hour two we have Mallard of the

like a house on the side of the road by
our number four. So our lead this hour is from
Cannsa City and we go where the Ben Mallard, chicken
fingers are piping hot, and the news of the day
takes us to Kansas City. Now, there are a couple
of stories that caught my attention, but this one why
(03:00):
Old Tale a true crime mystery and supposedly that those
true crime shows are really popular. So if I just
send out a message saying, hey, we're doing true crime
over here on the mallor show the Overnight show, boom
big numbers. We're gonna in the description on the podcast,
We're going to put true crime Malar Mystery, and that'll
(03:20):
get amazing downloads. We get all the bots, all the
you know, because all these numbers are fake anyway, So
let's get a bunch of bots to download the podcast.
It'll be great. The true Crime box h right from
the heartland. So if you didn't see this, and and
maybe not, maybe you missed it. So we we learned
that a a bullet some would say a magic bullet
was fired into the office of Andy Reid. Yeah, that
(03:45):
Andy Reid, the guy that coaches the Chiefs, the big guy,
Andy Reid, fired into his office at the team facility.
Did this happen last night? Let me check my notes here, No,
it did not happen last night. This did happened last week.
Let me see here, No, it did not happen last week.
(04:06):
Let me see what must have happened like two weeks ago. Right,
we're just hearing about it two weeks ago. Let me
see here. No, no, it could No, that's not right. Now,
it turns out it actually happened last spring, last spring,
early May of twenty twenty four. So since then Kansas
City played not very well. They barely showed up and
(04:26):
lost a Super Bowl to the Philadelphia football team. Now,
the the newspaper that's hanging on by a thread there,
the Kansas City Star, tells us that Andy Reid was
working alone slavy over the in the midnight oil there,
burning the midnight oil, working alone in his offices is
in early May of twenty twenty four, and then bang
(04:48):
a bullet was fired from outside the building and broke
through the glass and left a hole through the window
and the blinds in Andy Reid's office. And the story
says it missed him by about fifteen feet. Now, you
might think fifteen feet is a kind of a wide
(05:10):
area had the basketball hoops ten feet high, But imagine
a bullet coming near you fifteen feet away, got lodged
in the wall. The story says, between his bathroom boy
and he's got his own bathroom. Man, he's doing well.
You know you're doing well when you've got your own
bathroom and the entire door or the entry door that
goes into his office it must be a large door,
must be a large door. So there was that and
(05:33):
two more bullets. So not just one, but two more
bullets also were fired at the chief facility and one
of them hitting the I guess there's the third floor there,
and another some outside air conditioning unit. So that was
clearly a bad shot. Has anyone been arrested? No, So
over a year later, it says, over over a year later,
(05:56):
we're closer to a year and a half. So let
us discuss the question where are you at on this
Andy Reid true crime shooting gallery story. So I've got
San Diego, Zoo, rom Com and Spirit Airlines, and we
will combine all these things, will throw them together. We're
(06:18):
gonna make a spicy stew is what we're going to make.
So a this got my attention. I said, there were
a couple of stories that got my attention. This one
was like next level, because I believe in the multiverse.
I believe in the multiverse, So there is a dimension
in the multiverse where this ended much differently. And could
you imagine the unthinkable, like if this had gone a
(06:41):
different direction, And like, how do you explain that? Like
just on a random night in May. Nothing going on
in the NFL in May. There's some workouts, that's about it.
It's the off season. It's just crazy Town, USA and
Andy Reid. And you can really say, when you look
at his career now and what he has done, Andy
(07:02):
Reid is a ragamuffin kitty cat. He's a fat cat.
He survived Donovan McNabb puking in the Super Bowl when
he was coaching the Eagles. He's survived Patrick Mahomes getting
a dad body from eating what a Burger at three
in the morning, and now he's apparently dodged live ammal
in his office. And the story came out of thin air.
(07:25):
And I looked it up four hundred and seventy days
after this originally happened, and not a leak, no story
right before the Super Bowl about Andy Reid, no sideline
report during the Super Bowl. Andy Reid, by the way,
was shot at back in May. None of that, not
a single week. And man, you talk about a crock pot. Man,
(07:50):
that's a slow cooked journalism right there, is what it is.
And so usually TMZ has this stuff within the hour dateline,
Missouri takes its time. So somebody in Kansas City was like, hey, yeah,
you remember when our coach, Remember when our head coach
almost got whacked last year? Yeah? Should we should we
(08:10):
let somebody in the media know about that? I guess, so,
I don't know what you do it. So they installed
bullet proof glass. Do you see this? They put bulletproof
glass up in Andy Reid's office after the fact, of course,
And so Andy right now is literally in a office
popemobile while he's watching film and eating cheeseburgers. You know,
(08:35):
he's got the cheeseburger in one hand, he's got the clicker.
On the other hand, he's got he's surrounded by by
bulletproof glass. I mean, I forget the walrus, you know,
one of the nicknames. Andy's got a lot of nicknames.
He's essentially living like a penguin at the San Diego Zoo.
He's behind glass, plexiglass and all that stuff. So the
zoo they say, because they don't want kids throwing stuff
(08:56):
at the penguins. But Andy, they just don't want the
bullets flying in there. So he's he's doing that. Now
I can relate to the story, Believe it or not.
I can relate to the story. Well, no, you can.
You've never been shot at. You want to bet I
have something in common with cheeseburger Buddha. So let's go
back in the hot tough time machine. It's story time
(09:18):
on the Ben Meyler Show. Yeah, so this goes back
a number of years. I was doing a late night
radio show much like this one, but it was actually
earlier with FSR alumni member Jim Daniels. You might remember,
if you've been listening to the network a long time,
Jim worked here for years. He's at Rock and Roll DJ.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So Jim Daniels and I were doing a sports show
together right here in La right there in the corner
of s. Paulvitt and Ventura, And we were in the
old studio which had these giant glass windows like good
Morning America. We could look in and see the people
chirping away into the microphones there. And it's a Sunday
night and all of a sudden bang bang by drive by.
(10:02):
Now no one was hit, but suddenly poof, poof major
street credit for yours. Truly, we went from two guys
talking about I don't know, the Patriots special teams or
whatever was going on at the time, to radio gang
Land survivors. Uh. For a minute, I felt kind of
like fifty cent, but I was wearing headphones. I'd had
(10:23):
headphones on the whole thing. And uh. And that was that.
And you know, just like Andy's mystery, no arrests were
made in that, and we we thought, we thought it
was a disgruntled former employee who might have done it,
but we never found out who did it, and they're
probably in Timbuck two now, and so the same deal.
It was unsolved and all that stuff. So we've got
(10:45):
our own unsolved mysteries episode right there. And Andy Reid's
hanging out there in Missouri were over in LA but
both ended up with the same outcome. The only difference
is we already had bulletproof class. See, we had they
had put bulletproof class I saw up. I guess realizing
our takes were so controversial that they had to put
that up. I don't know, but We're not in that
(11:05):
studio anymore, so you're screwed now, turning the page, we
head to Dallas. Why why not we go to Dallas?
And as where the NEPO baby Cowboy coach Brian Schottenheimer
he is a confident man. Not a good coach, but
a confident man. And the conversation centering on the status
(11:26):
of Edge rusher Micah Parsons. Daily Update, Daily update on
Michah Parsons. Will he be available inquiring minds, we'd like
to know September fourth, the season opener against the reigning
Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. So Schottenneimer was asked about that.
(11:48):
He said, quote, I think at the end of the day.
I love when people say at the end of the day,
because my day ends when the sun rises. When's your
day end? Seananneimer said, I think at the end of
the day, we feel like Mike is going to be
out there when we line up against Philadelphia. Here and
he said, this was yesterday, so fifteen days from hour.
(12:10):
This is our Thursday show, so it's two weeks from today.
He said, So question, what is your verdict? Give me
your verdict on Micah Parsons and his status for the
Cowboy regular season opener. So we know it's hot this
time of the year in Texas there, I think Frisco, Texas.
There it gets very hot. And on cue the contract drama,
(12:35):
O rama. In Jerry's world, all they're sweating. They're sweating
like a brisket and a smoker, a good Texas brisket.
And so Schottenneimer is playing the optimistic like stepdad here,
who thinks everything's going to be fine, nothing to worry about. Right.
Parsons has been holding in must be nice, not practicing,
(12:57):
not risking injury and all that, even though he is
under contract. And so this is the Cowboys playbook, and
I will repeat that for those of you in the
back of the room that have not turned up your
hearing aid. The Cowboys playbook is wait until the last
possible second, and then have a not one, but two
(13:17):
two Brinks trucks dump a bunch of gold bouyon on
the guy's lawn. They did it with Dak, they did
it with Ceedee Lamb. They'll try it with Micah Parsons.
And so at this point it's like watching a rom
com with your wife being forced to watch it or
you're not married your girlfriend where you know the couple
(13:38):
are gonna end up getting together in the end of
the show, but you still have to sit there and
pretend like they're not going to get together, and you
waste ninety minutes of your life with unnecessary drama. And
so it's the same concept. Now there is a dimension again,
the multiverse. If they don't hammer out a deal, what
does that mean. Do you think Mike is gonna get
(14:00):
a job and try to compete with our friend in
Minnesota the number one uber eats driver there in Minnesota,
or you think he's gonna go door dash, I don't know.
I mean this. And the guy's built like a Marvel
villain Micah Parsons and often plays amazing right like he's
got some kind of jet pack around his back there
(14:22):
until it's a big game, and then he plays like
a old Snoopy character Peppermint Patty. He's not he's not
gonna be delivering French fries or tacos or all that.
And so the mala verdict is he is gonna play.
There's no question with or without a deal. He's already
got a contract. So the risk here is the old
(14:43):
injury fake out where Micah Parsons embellishes an injury, goes
a wall. If you will, however he will, he'll, we'll
deal with that. When we get to that point. We
know Jerry's still trying to figure out, like what venmo is? Yeah,
what's around with your phone? What is that? I don't know,
I don't know what that is? All right? Last word?
(15:04):
Here we head to the Bay Air. We got a trade. Now,
we had a couple of trades in the NFL, but
I decided I'm only going to talk about one because
offensive people are better people. So we go there. The
forty nine Ers have acquired wide receiver sky More. Huh, yeah,
that's Sky with two wys, Sky with two wise. Oh
(15:26):
wait a minute, I thought Sky only had one eye?
Why two Wyse? So sky Moore a trade between Kansas
City and the forty nine ers, teams that have matched
up in recent years in some pretty big games, and
that will flip in the trade. From what I understand here,
the trade is sky Moore goes from Kansas City home
with the ben mallor chicken fingers. He goes over there
(15:47):
to Santa Clara and they flip a sixth round pick
and a seventh round pick, but not next year. That's
not till twenty twenty seven. So what does all this
tell you? What does all this tell you? So it
tells me I'm gonna go first. It tells me that
the Niners are. They're shopping like Mike colleague Rob Parker
here at Fox Sports Radio, at the NFL's version of
(16:08):
a discount rack. They go into Ross Dress for Less,
like Rob Parker, and they're digging around there for a
shirt and they find one. Is it looks pretty good,
so kind of wrinkled, and it's got a coffee stain
on it, and they're like, well, I mean, I don't
know that I want it, but it's only three ninety nine.
And then I can send it out on Instagram and
people say, oh wow, you got that shirt for three
(16:28):
ninety nine. That's essentially sky Moore at this point, right,
that is a magic sky Moore is a magician. He
is abracadabra. Now the Niners need warm bodies. Kyle Shanahan's
looking at the depth chart. He's like, man, we're screwed,
you know, get me somebody with a pulse. And they're, well,
we got this guy. Not a good pulse, but sky Moore,
why not? Doesn't matter if he's productive. The magician part
(16:51):
of sky Moore is he is an example of why
the draft is for Gayzy. This is what I talk
about this all the time. Sky Moore was drafted and
the second round, and having done NFL draft shows for years,
when someone's drafting the second round, a number of the
fans have their pants around their ankles. They're so excited.
Oh my god, we got a wide receiver for the
(17:12):
next ten years, a second round pick. Oh mg, and
he gets to play with my Hoomes Hall week crap, Well,
he got to play with the homes sky More. He
played with Travis Kelsey, soaking up double coverages, Andy Reid
Hall of Famer, dialing up plays and dodging bullets. And
yet turns out the guy sucks sky Moore. Forget the
(17:35):
sky He couldn't get off the ground. Sky More in
Kansas City, it's like flying Spirit Airlines. You're in the
middle seat. You got a fat guy to the right,
you got a fat lady to the left. There's turbulence
and there's a crying baby right in front of you.
That's it. That's the sky More experience. The compensation tells
you the whole story. Oh, you always go to the
compensation right because sometimes they get it wrong, but most
(17:57):
of the time. Kansas City flipping a second round pick
back in twenty twenty two for a pick swap in
twenty twenty seven, five years down the road. It's kind
of like buying bitcoin at the peak. It's a sore
of subject for me, but buying bitcoin and then realizing, well,
(18:17):
I don't know, I clicked the wrong button and I
bought doge coin instead. Now, Kansas City thought they had
the crypto rocket ship. They were ready to go to
the moon, to the moon, to the moon, to the
moon to the moon. Instead they got like a like
a meme coin is what they got. And so you
got Mahomes out there, one of the all time graades
throwing dimes and sky Moore treating the football like it's
(18:40):
a hot potato. And they're playing a game at a
park somewhere a family picnic, and it's not going well.
It's just not going well.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Could it be an NFL head coach heading to the
penalty box before the season begins? Say it ain't, so
we'll explain Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere
ordinary people. As we together, we're gonna reach a boiling
(19:48):
point here coast to coast, border to border and beyond
on the vast and flavorfully powerful microphones of fs are
amminating live from the active the radioactive universe, the Fox
Sports Radio Studios, as approved by the famous performer known
(20:09):
for Hey Mona Kathy in Madison, who knows that this
portion of the Ben Maler Show just like Spacoli. Listening
to these redded podcasts because he works the daytime hours
and this portion made possible by Tire rackt For over
forty years, tyraq has been helping customers like you find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
(20:30):
ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot
com the Way Tire Buying show b So our lead
this hour is from the speculation machine. We'll call it
Urban planning. Urban Planning is an NFL head coach in
(20:54):
jeopardy of being suspended as the season begins two weeks
from today, the lidlifter in the NFL. Two weeks from today,
the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles and they take on the
Dallas Cowboys and that Thursday night lidlifter. And there's some
chatter about a coach getting some trouble. I don't saw
(21:16):
this or not, maybe not talking about Jim Harbaugh, the
Chargers head coach and if you missed it, former Jacksonville
coach for like a month, urban Meyer urban Meyer. So
urban Meyer says that the NFL should suspend Jim Harbaugh.
(21:39):
What Yeah, urban Meyer said because of the Michigan signs
stealing scandal. He says that there is precedent here, the
elephant in the room or in this case, the wolverine
in the room. And he says that the old Buck
guys coach, not him, but Jim Tressel got suspended because
(22:01):
of issues that took place while he was at the
Ohio State University. Urban Meyer told the story. He said, listen,
Jim Tressel went to the Colts and they made him
sit out six games, according to urban Meyer, six games
because the league honored the ncublea's punishment. Now, there are
(22:23):
some people that believe the NFL will ultimately take some
kind of action against Jim Harbaugh. There is an issue
whether or not precedent is legitimately involved in this. To
this point, however, the league has been radio silent. They
have not commented on the status of the LA Chargers
head coach. So let us discuss the question. My question
(22:46):
is this, what do you suppose the NFL will do
with Jim Harbaugh and any punishment. So I've got my
observations here, I've got pecan Pi, Airfrar and the amazing
Randy and we will combine all of these things together
and we're going to make some billable hours, some billable hours.
(23:06):
Over the years, we've had some legal beagles, some lawyers
that stay up late because they actually work on like
a lot of lawyers that don't work, but these guys
actually work, and they stay up late in their office
or in their in their home and putting stuff together.
So here's a number. Why I spent about a minute
(23:29):
about a minute deliberating this. Didn't want to go too long.
It's an overnight show. And I've determined what the NFL
punishment to Jim Harbaugh will be. I've got three words here,
three words. This is the NFL's punishment. I've got I
wrote down on my scorecard. Bupkis, zip bo and squad douche.
(23:50):
That's it. That's that's the three right there for Terry
in England. So Urban Meyer, you know he's doing. He's
talking out of his padunkadunk his way. I'm telling you
that's what he's doing. I think my theory is because
he's still mad, because remember he was getting the lap
dance and that went viral and all that, and that
(24:12):
was the end of Urban Meyer, the beginning of the
end of Urban Meyers. An NFL head coach. Of course
the team sucked. And by the way, as far as
the Jim Trestle thing, Jim tressel I looked it up.
He was a replay assistant for the Indianapolis colt he
was a consultant. So that's like suspending the person that
(24:32):
gets the gatorade buckets out of the storage facility. What's
that about Jim Harbaugh here, the head coach of the charge.
You think that that guy Dean Spanos is just gonna say, ah,
we got no problem. If you want to suspend my coach,
go ahead. It doesn't matter for something he did in
(24:53):
ann Arbor, Michigan. Like, there's no chance, there's no chance
of that having If the NFL, I'm telling you, mark
my words, and I'm never wrong about these things. If
the NFL tries to force Jim Harball to even miss
a slice of pecan pie for dessert after he eats dinner,
(25:15):
the NFL says, well, your punishment, Jim, is you can't
have pecan pie after dinner. You're gonna have to eat
apple pie. Now it was a I like apple pie,
but you're gonna have to eat apple pie that's store
brand and is almost expired rather than fresh pecan pie.
Guess what, Jim Harball will sue the NFL back to
(25:38):
the Stone Age, and he's gonna win because you know why,
he wasn't an NFL employee when this happened. Hello, right,
what about Jim Trussel. It's a non starter. It's a
non star. Now what is my evidence? I would like
you to look over at John Gruden, who currently is now.
(26:00):
The race is not over, the game is not over,
the scoreboard has not gone final. But at this point,
John Gruden is beating the NFL in court, and the
NFL needs their cronies on the Supreme Court to bail
them out. The league is already in hot water for
punishing John Gruden over the emails that he said while
(26:24):
he was not employed by the NFL. So do they
want to risk this again? Do they want to make
a repeat mistake with Jim Harbaugh? And what I know
about Jim Harball is he's rich, he's got lawyers, and
he's got a large ego. Those are three things I
(26:44):
know about Jim Harbor. So you think he's gonna say, ah, yeah, okay,
I'll sit out six games. I'll go surf somewhere, and
I'll go down to down to Newport or La goon
Is somewhere, and I'll go serf no. Right, So here's
the deal. The I'm gona tell you what's gonna happen.
The NFL is gonna loo at this. They'll say nothing,
and it'll kind of go away, and then urban Meyer
(27:06):
will go pound sand somewhere and that's it. And then
Jim Harball will be on the sideline to believe the
charges open up with I think it's Kansas City right
week one there, I know they're in Brazil to begin
the NFL season, and he'll be screaming at the referees
and thinking he's back coaching in Columbus against Ohio State
or something like that. Like, hey, Jimm's Week one of
the NFL. The only thing Jim Harbaugh is in danger
(27:27):
of getting suspended for is khaki pants. That's it. Like
the khakis he wears they can get in trouble with that.
Right now, Moving on from that, we head to page
two Indianapolis. We go follow up to the follow up,
follow up to the follow up. So Daniel Jones has
been asked the question and he has responded to the
(27:48):
question Why is anything going to be different with the Colts.
You sucked with the Giants, So why would anyone think
things are going to be better with the team in Indianapolis?
And Jones said, quote, I think every situation is different,
he said, telling reporters every season is different. I'm growing
and developing as a player constantly, he said. He went
(28:13):
on to say a lot of things go into it.
I think I am prepared, Daniel Jones said, and will
continue to work hard. All right, So what did you
take away from Daniel Jones explaining his second act with
the Colts is going to be different? So the first
thought I had is this is really ground baking. It's groundbreaking,
(28:34):
it's glass shattering commentary from Daniel Jones. It is I've
never heard an athlete say that. This is like saying
I'll be better at chess this time because I'm using
a different board. Well, no, it's the same. It's the
same game. No, No, the board's different, the boards different. Yeah,
I'm sorry, Danny boy. Right, you still got to move
(28:55):
the pieces around and all that stuff. You've got to
navigate everything that the NFL. It's not some kind of
group therapy session. Oh, it's getting closer to that. It's
getting closer to that, it's not there yet. And the
line that I loved was I'm growing and developing as
a player constantly right off sportscliche dot com. So I'm
gonna ask you a question, serious question. What does that
(29:16):
even mean? Like, that's the kind of thing you say
when your statue. You look at your statuet and you've
got to like put it near your your eyes. You're like, whoa,
that's like a one of those Sudoku puzzles, Right, is
a twenty four forty four and one twenty four to
forty four and one as a starter. That is not growth.
(29:38):
That is erosion. That's the coastline eroding back into the ocean. Right.
It's perfect Danny Dimes. Right. The guy talks like he's
some middle manager on LinkedIn who just got whacked from
his job. He's like, I am prepared and I will
continue to work hard, no life, no feeling. But I
(30:00):
am happy that you're cutting and pasting that, because that's
never been said by any quarterback every you know, this
is the first time in my life that a quarterback
has said that I am going to again be prepared
and work hard. Never happens, and I'm sure he'll say
that right after he throws a pick six on a
bubble screen. That's it. So yeah, people say it's a
(30:24):
fresh start, it's not. It's a relocation of mediocrity, is
what it is. It's it's kind of like if you
have a broken air fryer and you change apartments, You're like,
in the back of my dad bounced from apartment to apartment.
So you change apartments, You're like, of course they didn't
have air friers back then, but you change apartments and
just go with the story, and you're like, I'm not
(30:46):
gonna buy a new air fraw, I'm gonna take the
old air fryer, and magically it's gonna work. Just because
I moved, it's gonna work. Spoiler alert, it's still not
gonna it's not gonna turn on. If it does turn on,
it's gonna sputter a little bit, and it's it's gonna disappoint.
It's gonna this point. And so the colts, I look
at this on the outside, they're treating Daniel Jones like
a fixer upper with good bones. I think that show
(31:10):
was filmed in Indianapolis on HG TV. Good bones, and
I look at it on the outside and I'm like, well, no,
he's a quarterback version of a house that's got black
mold and a cracked foundation. You don't renovate it, you
bulldoze it. And that's it, right. And Jones. The other
(31:31):
thing about this is he clearly needs validation. He's like
a guy. And we've all seen these dopes, and there's
women that do it, more women than men that do it.
But they posted the Jim selfies and the guys will
always say, oh, the grind never stops. And I'm like, oh,
that guy's at JABRONI, that guy's at Gibroni's that guy's
a meat ed But listen, we get it. Dude. You're
(31:51):
at the gym. Congratulations, you want a cookie. You're working hard.
Guess what most people are doing some kind of exercise
otherwise you become a blob. Right, you want credit for effort.
That's not how it works. It's the NFL all that stuff,
blah blah, it's not Pop Warner any Jones continues to
have almost no substance. He's got less substance than a
(32:16):
protein shake made with skimmed milk. And you know, a
bunch of broken dreams tossed in there for flavor. And
so it's always those things, right, Well, don't tell me,
don't tell me. Ah, yeah, I'm gonna do this. I'm
gonna do that, all that stuff. Now show me what
you did, and then you can tell me how you
did it after you've done it all. Right, now, final point.
(32:39):
We go back to the story. In Indianapolis, there was
a humdinger. Now this was full credit in US. I
did not see this. It was sent in by a
listener who knows the show and knows what I think
is red meat doing the talk show. So I want
to think. I believe his name is Mike. He's not
in Indianapolis, but he's somewhere in Indiana, and he says
small town and yeah, he listens a couple hours at night.
(33:02):
And so he sent me this quote. He said, Ben,
why didn't you mention this? That's why I didn't see it.
That's why I didn't mention it. So now I'm aware
of it, so I'm going to talk about it right now.
So this is Shane Steiken. You don't know who that is,
likely unless you're an Indianapolis and a Colts fan. He's
the head coach there, and he was peppered with questions
on why should the fan, why should the season ticket
(33:25):
holder of the Colts believe in Daniel Jones? He was
an abject failure with the Giants. And Shane Stiken paused
for a second. It wasn't a long pause, brief pause,
and he said, I think that he meaning Daniel Jones,
has proven that he's played good football in that twenty
(33:47):
twenty two season. Stikeen stated he had a hell of
a year that year. The coach said, I think that
was the highest completion rate in New York Giants franchise
history that season. Stiking quote continues on Daniel Jones quote,
He's proven to do it. I know he's had his
(34:11):
ups and downs, but everyone's journey is different, and we
feel confident in his abilities. Close quote question, how would
you grade Shane Steiken's defense for Daniel Jones proving he
can get it done with the Colts didn't get it
done with the Giants. How he's gonna get it done
(34:33):
with the Colts. So that was a masterclass in football
gas lighting with a capital G. So let's break this
apart scientifically. We'll put it under the Mallard microscope. So
the quote, the first quote that stood out, Jones had
a hell of a year in twenty twenty two. Now
a coach, it's Ben Mallor. I do a little overnight
(34:55):
show here at Fox Sport rated coach. Yeah, that year
where he had a hell of the giant offense looked
like it was powered by a rotary phone. Who are
you talking about? They won a playoff game against the Vikings.
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, they beat Kirk Cousins of the playoffs.
That's true. You know where the Giants passing offense ranked
(35:17):
with Daniel Jones, Yeah, they were twenty sixth in the
NFL in twenty twenty two. That's a hell of a year.
Can I have Shane Steikeen is my boss creating my work.
If that's a hell of a year, that's a hell
of a year if you're at a haunted house for checkdowns.
(35:39):
So Shane Steikeen is really telling the Indianapolis fan listen.
I know it didn't work out with the Giants, but
it's gonna work out now. And I'm your financial advisor,
and I would like you to buy on your app
on your phone where you buy stocks. I would like
you to invest in Radio Shack. I want you to
buy Radio Shack stock in twenty twenty five because they're
gonna make a big comeback. Okay uh. He said, Jones
(36:02):
had the highest completion rate in Giant's history, and while true,
you know what that means if you go back and
look at the tape there were a lot of three
yard slants to Richie James back in twenty twenty two.
It's kind of like bragging that your kid is an
honors student, got straight a's, and you don't explain the
(36:24):
rest of the story. As the Great Paul Harvey would say,
all of the kids classes were gym classes. It's the
amazing randy of quarterback spin, sleight of hand, smoking mirrors.
That's a little salesman razzle, dazzle and all that. Like
the Colts quarterback Plan. They're not rebuilding, they're rebranding failure.
(36:49):
Like all right, we got this furniture that's kind of
old and it smells musty. Let's just move it around,
why not? And steichen sound If you remember, I used
to watch The Simpsons. I haven't watched it much recently,
but Homer's had a great quote one time. He said
everybody is stupid except me. And that's what Shane Steichen
sounds like. Sounds like Homer Simpson. Everybody is stupid except me.
(37:09):
Now I get it. He's got to defend the indefensible decision.
There was no good decision because either way, the Colts
were absolutely poorked here. If they had gone with Anthony Richardson,
well he sucks, he can't play. And they brought in
Daniel Jones, and we know, we know more that Daniel
Jones sucks than Anthony richards So this was a combo platter.
(37:30):
It was a combo platter for the Colts. And he's like, well,
I got optimism, but there's also a delusion.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
It's really leaned in. He leaned into coach me. It's like,
let me cherry pick a mid tier stat and I'm
going to wrap that mid tier stat. I'm going to
wrap it up in a blanket of hope, hope blanket,
and I'm going to serve it to the fan base
like it's filet Minon and which he really is. You
(38:00):
just reheated four day old meat loaf is what you'd
unseasoned four day old meat loaf. Congratulations, Way to go.
Coach Way to Go.

About a month ago, it was reported buying an anonymous
insider that it would take a godfather offer for the
Giants to trade Jamis Winston. Back then, you said you
weren't buying it. Now, Giants assistant GM Brandon Brown said,
I appreciate people that are interested, but Jamis is a
New York giant. Ben, are you having you now?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Well, he is a New York giant. No, I don't
believe it. Listen, that's how you play the game. You said, Well,
I'm not going to talk about hypotheticals. They always do
that bull crap. I'm not gonna talk about hypotheticals. Blah
blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
If I'm if I've got this right as I understand it,
Russell Wilson's going to start at some point, Jackson Dart
with an X is going to play. So what's the
way if if someone's gonna trade you a conditional fifth
round pick for Jamis Winston and he's not gonna play.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Trade him next Nearly two months into NBA free agency
and Russell Westbrook is still without a team. It's even
being reported that he could remain unsigned by the start
of the season, Ben, do you think that will happen?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Well, I thought he was gonna go to Sacramento. That
was the hot rumor, and I guess that fizzled out.
And uh, you know, Russell, he'll be in the NBA somewhere,
he'll be He'll be in the NBA. He's gonna be
on a team. Uh, And it's gonna it's not obviously
not gonna happen till before training camp. But I don't
believe that he's going to be unemployed when the season
starts next.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Mariners outfielder Victor Billbleisz was suspended ten games for an
incident earlier this week, when he hurled a bat at
a pitcher after getting hit by a pitch during a
rehab assignment. Ben, do you think he got off easy?
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Yes, you you don't. That's it. You cannot do that.
You can't throw the bat, you can't do it. There's
a lot of things you can do and they'll look
the other way. I mean, you go through baseball history
that you can kill some No, how do we do cooogy?
I'm as you can bludgeon someone with.

Lady Sideburns.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Hi, Lady Sideburns one of my favorite of all the
women that have sideburns, Lady Sideburns is my favorite.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
I don't think that we have ever been asked this before.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Okay, a new question. We always get the same questions,
but this is a new question. Original question.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
Sided crew, Which foot do you put your shoe on first?
Speaker 1 (41:18):
So when it comes to this, I'm ambidexterous. I am Okay.
Some days I do the right foot, some days I
do the left foot. It's not the same every day.
It's not there's no rhyme or reason to it. It's
some days I go right, some days I go to
the left. That's Lorena, gosh, this is a very difficult question.
Speaker 7 (41:41):
It's got to be the right foot first, because I
just put my foot directly in the shoe.
Speaker 8 (41:44):
I don't even like bend down anymore. I just put
the foot.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Saw is there a saw?
Speaker 4 (41:49):
You know?
Speaker 8 (41:49):
It would be my right foot first? Then?
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Really?
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Really?
Speaker 8 (41:52):
Yeah, because I put my right foot over my left leg.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Interesting, okay, cool, I am the opposite.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
See.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
I initially when I read the question, I was like, oh,
I think I do both, And then I sat and
thought about it, and it is my left foot every
single time. That's the first one.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Okay. No, No, I'm more advanced. I can do the
right or the left. You know. It's more open minded
than you are. Cool. So that's but what is next
year's ask? Ben? Your questions are answers for the rest
of the hour.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
All right, let's see, we're gonna go with this. One's dangerous.
A JT the Wingman.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Hi JT. I met him at Many Malla Meet Grease.
JT is a big fan of show. I met him
in South Carolina. He was in Vegas last year. He's
been all over the place.
Speaker 3 (42:40):
He says, what is your favorite guilty pleasure in Las Vegas?
Speaker 1 (42:45):
You know, I just love walking. I don't know it's
a guilty pleasure. I love walking around Fremont Street. It's
like a human zoo. They don't charge for it, and
just walking around and seeing all the characters around Vegas
and all that stuff. So I know that's really a
guilty pleasure.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
I gamble, obviously, I've been on sports and stuff like that.
But I I don't. I guess I'm boring. I don't
really something I really really do. That's tab But what
about you, well, Lorena, I don't know if you talk
about it? Hold on, all right, here we go, here
we go.
Speaker 8 (43:17):
Gosh.
Speaker 7 (43:18):
I love getting super fancy and then making sure everyone's
staring as I walk around. And I love drinking the
most egregious martinis in the nicest dresses.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
That's what I like doing okay, you like, are you
one of those people that gets the glass that's down
to your your ankle?
Speaker 8 (43:33):
You know those will make you puke. Don't drink those?
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Why will they make you pukee.
Speaker 8 (43:38):
Is they're full of sugar?
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Oh okay, my friend, those are all over the place.
Speaker 8 (43:42):
Man, Yeah, they're so bad.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
All right? Cool?
Speaker 3 (43:47):
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Oh, speakeasy swingers club? You're going to? All right? What's
next year? What do we got? Coolhere? We got? Here?
Speaker 2 (43:57):
We go?
Speaker 3 (43:58):
This question from fer Dawn. Hi, Fergie, would you rather
only be able to scream or whisper when you talk?
I mean the time? No normal voice?
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (44:12):
Like?
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Both would both would suck? I guess I'd go screaming.
I would. I don't talk much if I if I
had that, I wouldn't talk much. But you scream. I
want people to hear you, so I'll go scream. What
about you? Rader?
Speaker 8 (44:25):
Obviously screaming?
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Yeah, obviously obviously I was gonna say whisper.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
But I mean, you guys both being so adamant about it,
it's making me double guess my my pick.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
If you whisper, you might as well not be able
to talk. Nobody can hear you, so give.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
You every time you scream, Like eventually people will be like,
I don't want to hang out that guy. It's very
it's very loud and annoying.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
Good. What's next year? What do we have?
Speaker 3 (44:53):
Alf?
Speaker 1 (44:53):
The alien?
Speaker 3 (44:54):
O piner hi Alf he would have.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
Not made him someday I'm gonna meet him.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
Go ahead, Yes, he would like to know fries or
onion rings? And also isn't it great when you get
one of the other mixed in with your order?
Speaker 1 (45:04):
Yeah? And if I ever end up working in fast
food and a few more bad jos, I probably will.
I'm gonna be the guy that puts extra fries at
the bottom of the back. That's my move.
Speaker 6 (45:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
I read one of these marketing books that I read
a while back, and they said that five guys now
five guys gouges you and I don't go there anymore
because it's too expensive. But they said, part of the
original appeal of five guys is they intentionally overfilled the
fries because they knew the customer would it. Boy, I'm
getting a lot, you know, getting I'm getting more banged
from my buck. And it was a little marketing trick,
(45:38):
and it worked until they raised the price of the
fry and then people realize, well, I'm getting a lot,
but I ain't going there. But yeah, friser. I eat
many more fries than onion rings. The problem with onion
rings is it's got to be properly fried and breaded.
If it's too big, the onion ring and there's too
much just the onion's too big. The onion to breading
(45:59):
race got to be right, and very few places do
it right. So I'll go Potato, I'll go the I'll
go the fry. Lorena.
Speaker 8 (46:06):
Oh, I love a good onion ring.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
Well I do, don't get me wrong. I love a
good ring because.
Speaker 8 (46:11):
That's like a delicacy, you know what I'm saying. Like
fries are an everyday thing. But but I don't want
to fancy.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
I don't want to eat an onion ring that's the
size of a bagel. I don't want.
Speaker 7 (46:20):
Really, I love it, though I have to like bite
in one side and then go around like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
No, the onion is too big. That is bad onions ratio.
Speaker 3 (46:31):
Baddion etiquette.
Speaker 8 (46:32):
I'm gonna go onion ring.
Speaker 3 (46:35):
Cool now see, I think the onion ring is a
is a treat. I like it, Like Loraina, I don't
know that I could every time get onion rings. Uh,
the fries are more of an everyday thing for sure,
but a bomb onion ring completely trumps like bomb fries.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
However, though the potato you get everything out of the potato,
get the fry, but you get potato wedges out of
the potato, you get the crinkle cut. Those are considered
fries as well. So like the onion ring, Yeah, there's
thick onion rings and there's thin on you ring, but
there's only a couple of different ways to make on
your ring. The potato, though, you can even drink the
potato and make it alcohol, So it's you go with
(47:17):
the potato. All right, What's next?
Speaker 3 (47:19):
The King Rory would like to know. Have you ever
bought a product off the TV?
Speaker 1 (47:24):
Oh? Got yeah, Well, I'm of the age like before
before the internet. Back in my day, I loved late
night infomercials. Me and my brother bought this car wax
because the guy lit the car on fire with the
wax and we thought, oh man, we got we gotta
beat you know, our grandpa's car, where we'll light it
on fire and so we bought some car wax, and
(47:45):
I bought a couple of other things off those infomercials.
But yeah, I bought probably less than five, but more
than two.
Speaker 8 (47:54):
Lorena shockingly, no, I know my grandma.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
Did you know?
Speaker 8 (47:58):
It's an old person thing, not not so much of
me thing.
Speaker 1 (48:00):
Well, thank you, Lorain, I appreciate that. Coop. We'll go
ahead there.
Speaker 3 (48:03):
Cool. Yes, I have like a magic role back in
the day.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Yeah, you're an old person.
Speaker 3 (48:09):
Magic at home. We'll start to do this real quick.
What is your favorite commercial jingle?
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Oscar Mayer, I'll go ahead.
Speaker 7 (48:17):
That's from Rob the Goman one eight hundred and five
eight eight two three.
