This is the best of the Ben Mahler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
A cheezy kind of a night.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Welme in, we'll beginning of another full edition of the
Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
We are in the air everywhere as we chisel away
on the overnight hours, and we are mapping and snapping
coast coast, border to border and beyond on the mast
and super eminently powerful microphones of fsre ammating.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Live from the cream the free goodness of our cheesy
takes from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by the Green Bay Gobbler Rick in Maryland, Sleazy
cheese and ostrich ant. They all know that the Ben
Maler Show in part made possible by our friends at
ty Iraq, where.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
The rubber meets the road.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
For over forty years, Ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they
drive shit fast at freeback by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire iraq
dot Com the way tire buying should be. So we're
back at it again. Glad you could hang out with
(01:48):
us a little bit here on the overnight and we begin.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Let's see where should we start? Any meenie miney mode.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh, there was only one game. It was an island game.
You know we love island games. Yes, they design find
the professional football schedule to accommodate the overnight show because
every night we're on there's a game, well three nights
a week. You get the Sunday night and then at
the Monday and then Thursday, and so we've got all that.
But our lead this hour is from the not frozen Tundra,
(02:19):
a few miles away from where my younger brother resides.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
There lambeau Field and the Week two.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Card in the NFL kicking off in that hallowed venue,
which is pretty whack.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I've only been once. I went to there was no game.
I didn't go to a game.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I went to the gift shop there which is the
size of like Costco or a super Walmart.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
They got a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
And anyway, a couple of NFC heavyweights there upstart quarterbacks,
the next generation of quarterbacks, at least in theory, the
Commanders and the Packers. So if you did not see
this game, and if you missed it, well we got you.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
We watched it.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's our good mits for the day. So he did
not have to Jordan Love feeling the love and the
Packers ended up with some bad field position, but as
a coach told me years ago, bad field position means
good stats if you make the plays, and Jordan Love
made some of them, made to make all of them,
and there were there were some points left on the field,
but Jordan Love ended up with two hundred and ninety
(03:19):
two yards and a couple of touchdowns, and the Packers,
who seemed like they were up by fifty points.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Were not.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
They ended up beating the Washington football team twenty seven
to eighteen the final on Thursday night. And you couple
that with the victory over the Lions back in Week one,
and that was all the way back on Sunday, so.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
They Packers already.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Have two wins over teams that were in the playoffs
last year, and someone named Tucker Craft. Someone named Tucker
Craft apparently it's a tight end had six catches for
a career high on hundred and twenty four yards. The
better story, though, is in the losing locker room, Jaden,
you told me how great this guy was.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I bought into. I did, I bought in? I was ah.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, Thursday night, short week, prime time, the stars shine
under the bright lights, and well, Jordan Love did not.
He had a horrific start to this game, one of
the worst halfs you'll ever see who.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
You're not supposed to say that, but he's a superstar. Okay,
he sucked.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
He had forty nine yards passing in the first half,
and a lot of that was because he was zipping
the ball where it didn't need to go. It was
just bad all the way around. In the balance of
that game. You know, he had some garbage time stats
in the fourth quarter, and mathematically the Washington team was
(04:40):
in the game, but realistically they were not anyway. Before
we get into the meetia the monologue this year from
Jaden Daniels here, the Washington quarterback, who points out that
the execution was slightly different in this game.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
They executed their scheme, whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Okay, they executed it.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Really well because they won the game and we just
didn't make plays. Starts with me, starts with everybody in France,
starts with the whole offensive skill group. So it's not
playing a finger at anybody. Collectively, we're all to blame
and we'll get back to work.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Okay, So that's right out of the handbook. Is you're
supposed to say no one individually is to blame when
absolutely individuals are to blame. Well, here's more from Jade
and Daniels. Here's Jane and Daniels saying, oh, I said no, no,
he didn't care about the fact they lost. He's already
moved on, right, Jaden, Yes.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I didn't done to dwell about it.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
You know, early in the season, I wouldn't expect them
by in this locker room to hit the panic button.
We faced a really good team and we came up short.
So we'll move on in this game. Okay, there you go. Well,
I have a talk show to do, so I'm not
going to move on. You can move on, but I
have a talk show four.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Hours to do, so I'm gonna sit right here and
I'm going to slice it up and dice it. And
that's how I'm going to do it, because I have
a job, so that's my gig. And again I didn't
I rant about this the other day. Everyone freaks out
about the panic, but nobody wants.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
To get the pan.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
No panic, no panic, no panic anyway. All right, so
let us discuss the question. You heard some sound there
from Jaden Daniels. So the Commander's quarterback, Jaden Daniels, who
looked absolutely horrible, I mean just horrific. How much of
this is on him? And how much of this is
on the lamboo Lambeau voodoo.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
You told me there's some Lambeau voodoo.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
There now that Micah Parsons is playing for the Green
Bay Packers. So again you've got Jaden Daniels, who look
like he should be playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers
the way he performed in this game, and how much
of that is on him, and how much of that
is on the Lambeau voodoo.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
So I've got coach meat Balls and AOL.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Dial up if you know what that is, and we'll
combine all these things together and we are going to
make some brats and some cheese kurts is what we're
gonna make, all right. So A I do not want
to hear about the Lambbo voodoo.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I don't the mystique of the frozen time.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Anytime the Packers get a halfway decent team, I have
to hear about this. I remember, they've lost so many
big games in my life at lambeau Field, like playoff Caans.
Remember Michael Vick had a terrible game years ago for
the Atlanta Falcons, went in there and beat the Packers.
The Falcons did at lambeau Field. There's be some other
home losses there on the Aaron Rodgers years. So I
don't want to hear about that. This wasn't Vince Lombardi
(07:22):
rising from the grave to go cast a spell over
the Washington football team. Jaden Daniels did not trip over
some kind of cheese curd that was thrown on the
field there.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
He flatlined on his own. And while he wants to
move on, that's fine, we're not.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
He was flying coach, and he was flying coach, that's
right on the vomit commet. He didn't even have a
first class seat. Jaden Daniels was sitting in coach on
the vomit comet. There was turbulence, There was no oxygen masks.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
There was just.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Projectile vomit that was flying in the air everywhere on
the vomit comet. Now, he managed to suck at a
time he cannot mentioned the first half forty nine yards
passing in the first half forty nine right, And he
sucked at a time he can't suck.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
And that's the NFL.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
In the NFL rule Book, page one, when the lights
are bright and they're shining on you. When that's the
case there, you cannot soil the carpet. And there was
a lot of urine that was on the field there. Now,
Jade Daniels, I guess he tried to burn the rug,
which is one way to do it. Now, what did
I see? I saw a Chris Paul style performance CP
(08:30):
three with bounce passes, which would be great if it
was basketball, but unfortunately the NFL bounce passes don't work.
You're supposed to throw to your guy, not the invisible
boogeyman running slants in another dimension. And I gotta tell you, though,
the invisible boogeyman running slants caught a lot of passes
(08:51):
from Jaden Daniels because those things were they were either
sailing in the air or they were bouncing on the ground.
Bouncy bouncy, bouncy, bouncy bouncy, throw to the left, throw
the right into the Lambeau.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Field shadows, the shadow people at Lambolefield.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Anywhere but on target. So where were the big plays?
Where were the big plays? So I didn't see them
in a big plays running plays of more than ten yards,
passing plays of more than fifteen.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yards, and I didn't see too many of those.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I did not, And instead it looked like somebody unplugged
the Madden controller on what had been an amazing run
there for Jay and Dan. They didn't looked all great
last week either. No chunky soup, no chunk plays, just
watered down broth. That's all there was now page two,
So who else gets called the Congress playing the commander
(09:43):
blame game?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
We love the blame game? Who's going to be called
to Capitol Hill?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
So that performance in the first half in particular, now,
mathematically they were not out of the game, but it
just looked like that was Dan Snyder's Washington team that
they had the chart of the old Redskins right lawsuits
of poenas. The team looked like it was doodling in
the margins instead of running an actual game plan. We're
(10:08):
not sure what they were doing. And don't let Cliff
Kingsbury slink away there. This is supposed to be X's
and O's genius offensive savant, the quarterback whisperer, And if
he was whispering to Jade and Daniels, he.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Must have been.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Daniels must have been wearing those noise canceling headphones because
he didn't hear anything. The playbook looked like it was
scribbled in crayon on a Southwest Airline's flight to green Bay.
And I don't even know if Southwest goes to green Bay.
That's just what it looked like. There was nothing all
that creative. Didn't seem like there were any in game
adjustments that were made. It's like, this is our game plan,
this is what we're gonna do. And it's the football
(10:47):
equivalent of a gift stuck in a loop, you know,
just playing over and just a bad day. That's it
that we'll move on. Just the groundhog day, that's it.
And what about the commander's defense. A lot of this
has been offensively focused, but what about the commander's defense.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
You see the game dan Quinn and you start worring.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
This kind of looked like the Falcons when he coached
there after a while, right, just kind of a flat
performance there. I said, well, it's a Thursday and night,
but dan Quinn's a defensive guy. That's supposed to be
his meat and potatoes. And instead of the meat and potatoes,
the Washington football team was serving up vegan meatballs. And
no one wants vegan meatballs. Even vegans don't want vegan meatballs, right,
(11:29):
They're soft, bland, nobody wants them.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
And they had this the vibe I got.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
And listen if you watched Benny versus de Penning on YouTube,
we hope you did. I obviously had the wrong side
in that game, and I knew right away. I started,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Go, I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I went on social media because I was amazed at
how many commercial Shaquille O'Neil was in, because every other
commercial shock was in there. But then I put the
thing away. I turned the app off and I started
texting some friends. I said, I'm cooked. They got look
at them I knew right away the body language very
rarely are you wrong on that? With the body language,
it looked like they felt sorry for themselves, that they
all boohooo, we gotta go out here and play on Thursday.
(12:06):
The body language just it just rereaked up. We don't
really want to be here. We really don't want to
be We want to be somewhere. We don't be here, though.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
We want to go somewhere, maybe maybe across the street,
but we don't be here.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
And you could see it, and they were half step slow,
heads down, like they were just there's like there playing
some kind of charity situation or something like that instead
of an NFL matchup.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
There's no edge to them.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And I was amazed that they still mathematically had a
chance to even cover the spread forget and win the
game in the fourth quarter. It should have been forty
one to ten or something like that. The way that
the separation between these two teams and the Packers fumbled
the mallet and they didn't put the hammer down otherwise,
you don't have to be some kind of NFL guru
(12:50):
to know this would have been a full pantsing, a
full humiliation situation. And the way the best way to
describe how Washington played. It was like a FedEx field pipe,
sewage pipe bursting. And that's how they played, just sewage
raining down on fans. That good fan experience, the all
(13:10):
inclusive fan experience, is that right?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
No, it's not ring. What is it? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
It's brown? I don't know why is it smell? I
don't just keep watching the game, all right? Now, last
word here, So in the winner's locker room, we will
go over to the lesser story.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
The winner's locker room, and the packers are two and oh,
two and oh and everyone in.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Wisconsin and all the owners of the Green Bay Packers,
the stockholders are spiking the broughtwurst and right into the
cheese dip there.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
They're so excited they just won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
So I asked the question, are you, as a neutral
party like me, are you drinking the green kool aid?
Are you voting yes? That this is legit, that this
is going to continue? So I am an undecided voter
on this. I was really down on the Lions. I
thought the Lions it was more about what the Lions
(14:07):
didn't do than anything special the Green Bay Packers did.
Last week, the Lions look a lot weaker than they
have been in recent years, and they had some kind
of playoff hangover from losing last year. And then Washington,
as we pointed out, they showed up like they just
really didn't want to be there like they had They
went to the DMV and they didn't have an appointment,
(14:28):
and then they had to wait online, and they ended
up waiting for like eight hours online and then it
was and they would do another line that was like
three hours, so they spent eleven hours online and they
were kind of tired, and they wanted to sit down.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
They want to play the game.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And so you look at it from that perspective, and
in those bifocals, it's two softballs that were lobbed right
down the middle underhanded. Green Bay swung. To their credit,
they hit home runs, but they're eating cupcakes. You don't
need a knife to eat a cupcake. Right. It's good
for them, It does not mean you're the nineteen eighty
five Bears, defensively reincarnated. And and don't even get me
(15:00):
started on the Amazon broadcast because they they had Micah Parsons.
I had to mute them at one But now I
love al Michaels. But the other people on that broadcast,
holy crap.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Man.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
But the way they were making it seem like Michael
Parsons was the human version of he Man stopping on skeletor.
And I must have been using AOL dial up to
connect to Amazon, because I didn't see it that way.
I thought Parsons was fine standard, pretty good defensive players.
He's the highest paid player in the NFL other than
(15:34):
the quarterback. You should play really well every play, every game.
And yet again, a lot of that came in the
second half. A lot of his production came in the
second half when even mathematically Washington was in the game.
He just didn't get the vibe they were and Parsons
made a couple of plays al Michaels, And it was.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Really the random women. I don't know who they are.
I don't write.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Their names down, and they're just you know, the entire
broadcast was annoying, and they made it seem like he
was wearing Micah Parsons a cape and he was leaping
tall buildings in a single mound. You know, calm down,
by the way, just how bad is the Amazon broadcast
in general? I mean, do they deliberately assemble. Do they
have meetings at Amazon's. How can we get the most
(16:17):
annoying group of human beings and let them talk football
while they talk over each other like it's a holiday
dinner with your in laws.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
It's just brutal.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Now again, we love Al Michael Herbstreet's fine, he annoys
me sometimes, but the rest of the pregame, halftime, postgame crew,
it's like the island of misfit toys.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
There. You've got Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Who gives out that like kind of annoying, over the
top uncle energy. You've got Richard Sherman who's just filipbustering.
I don't think he even knows what he's saying. And
then you got Tony Gonzalez who looks like he doesn't
want to be there because he's too cool to be there,
and he would like to take an uber, but not
just an Uber, he wants a high end uber home
because he's.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Like, I'm look how good looking I am.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I don't need to be here. You people are all ugly.
I'm Tony Gonzalez, I look marvelous. Why am I here?

hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the

(18:33):
coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
mast and smashingly powerful microphones of fsre and moinating live
from the Bark the Bark after dark from the world
famous Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by the Salsas
are in this portion of the Ben Malor Show on Fox,
(18:55):

ship fast free back by free road hazard protection with

Com the way the Tire Buying Show be. So our
lead this hour not from the game at lambeau Field
(19:19):
last night, the Green Bay Packers on a Thursday night
Get or Done, but our lead this hour from deep
in the heart of Texas, the gift that keeps on giving.
We go to Jerry's world. Jerry was serenaded at the
Green Bay Packer game. But prior to that, we learned
that wide receiver Cde Lamb Ceedee Lamb has started going viral.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Maybe you saw it, maybe you didn't.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
So Ceedee Lamb caught passes, We've learned from a jugs gun.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
That's a machine that throws the ball.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So we caught this bunch of passes from the jugs
machine last week on the Cowboys day off after they
played on Thursday. On Friday, he was trying to shake
off a opener which saw him drop not one, not two,
but three three passes. So if you didn't see this,
(20:12):
maybe not. Some eight hours after the Cowboys' team plane
touchdown back in Texas, players had the day off and
Ceedee Lamb was at the Death Star catching passes from
the jugs machine there and he was asked about it.
He said, quote that wasn't supposed to go viral. Ceedee
(20:33):
Lamb said, wink wink, wink, not no nod. I wasn't
doing that for no internet. To be honest, Lamb said,
speaking the King's English So I came in on a
day when nobody was in the building and I still
caught a camera. I didn't even know that the camera
was there. Shout out to them. Ceedee Lamb said, As
(20:57):
for me, Bro, it's going back to my fundamentals. I
know what it is. I know what to do again.
It's game one. We have sixteen more of these, okay,
and then after the games this weekend, we have fifteen
more to go.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
It's only game number two. So that is our lead
this hour. So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Ceedee Lamb, wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, says that
on his off day, his workout was not supposed to
go viral.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
It was not do you believe it or not?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Do you believe that this was actually something that was
supposed to be done under the cover of darkness and
that he did not intend did not intend to get
media coverage out of this. So I've got Jake Paul,
Karaoke Night, and mister Miyagi and we will combine all
of these things together and we are gonna make your
babushka's favorite pastrami fries, because every good babushka loves pastrami fries.
(21:58):
So number, I said number. All right, stop, stop, drop
and roll. Ceedee Lamb says his off day workout wasn't
supposed to go viral. Please come on now, I am
agnostic on this one.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
I am not a believer. You play for what team?
All right? You play for the Cowboys? What's the logo
on the helmet? A star? Let me tell you something. Okay,
if you don't.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Realize there are cameras everywhere in Jerry's world, you.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Are dumb d dumb, dumb dumb. I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
You could fart in Jerry's world, a big wet fart,
and there'll be eight different camera angles and it'll be
all over the social media for the Cowboys. Did you
see Ceedee Lamb's fart? Do you think that's you know,
what was the exit velocity of the fart? You know
that kind of So it's not football, it's a It's
the hype industrial complex, is what it is. It's the
(22:56):
deal when you sign up to where the Star. Everything
is a reality show. Football is second. Everything's for public consumption.
You're basically Jake Paul and Shoulder Pats, you know, the
annoying influencer from the TikTok and YouTube and Ceedee Lamb
is a card carrying member of the attention Horrors of America.
(23:16):
Whether he admits it or not, everything is content right
and there's the dirty little secret they do not want
you to talk about.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Like all of a sudden, this is now a problem.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Ceede Lamb's hands spoiler alert, he's got bad hands. He's
got for all the glitz and the glamour one hundred
million dollar branding deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
If you look at.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
His production since the year twenty twenty, since the pandemic
in twenty twenty, Ceedee Lamb leads the entire NFL and
dropped passes. He's not number two or number three or
number four, He's number one in drop He's at the
top of the board. So forget about the jugs machine.
(23:58):
They could fly over Tear from England to throw him
the football. It doesn't matter. What he really needs is
to go old school and you find Manuel and Guardina.
Maybe Manuel knows somebody who knows somebody, and then they
can get their hands on some of the like nineteen
seventies raiders stick them.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
That they used to use to catch the pets.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
His myths are are pretty bad, right, I mean, so
spare us the afshocks. I didn't even know the camera
was their routine. Come on the Cowboys again. They're in
the business of manufacturing drama. That's the brand, that's the product,
that's what they sell. And Jerry Jones could put a
(24:39):
popcorn stand at a funeral and make it a spectacle
because he'd put the Cowboy logo on it.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
You know, he'd make little, you know, a.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Little funeral sized popcorn containers and things. But everything in
Dallas is for public consumption, whether it's intentional or not.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
And so ceedee Lamb swears.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
And you know, just going back to fundamental is like
this whole thing that well, he signed the contract.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Do you think his agent leaked it?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Who do you think linked it? You think there was
a Cowboy pr team the agent. Was it a group
project where they got together? And see he's like the Mamba.
He goes into the gym after a game and all
that stuff. Okay, he's practicing the fundamentals, fundamentals, big fundamental.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
That's the Cowboy way, unless it's not.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Now page two, we go now to Northern California, San Francisco,
Ad Jason Santa Clara that is where brock Perdy is
officially down.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
For the count.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
He has been ruled out. Oh my aching toe. He'll
be doing a sleepover in the injury tent. Bring your
sleeping bag and an overnight bag as well. And so
the Boss by the Bay, the Boss by the Bay has.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Spoken a man who I used to work for his dad.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
His dad was a radio executive, John Lynch, the GM
of the forty nine ers. And it turns out that
John Lynch is actually fired up for the backup quarterback,
Mac Jones.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Take a listen to the GM and the Niners.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
John Lynch, take a list You know, we're really pleased
to have Mac here. You know, Mac was a guy
back in the in the draft process. You know, we
studied a lot, really liked. You know, has had his
ups and downs in his NFL career, but since he's
been a part of us, really has taken to our offense,
(26:31):
really fits our culture.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
He can run our offense and run it well, and
we don't have to change a whole lot when he's
out there. So I'm excited to see him get an
opportunity to go show what he can do.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
All right, there's the quote, So question give me your
reaction to John Lynch and his excitement to watch Mac
Jones play.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Yikes.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
All right, so this is kind of like me saying
I'm excited to see the sun come up tomorrow. Okay,
I appreciate the insight there, John, thank you for that.
It's truly Pullitzer worthy stuff. Here, Captain Obvious is knocking
on the door. Now, this is the oldest sermon in
the Bible of sports cliches. If you study the Bible,
the sports cliche Bible, this is the oldest sermon.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
It's Chapter three, verse sixteen.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Thou shall not say anything negative about the backup quarterback,
And now shall say I am excited to see what
the backup quarterback can do whenever the starter gets hurt.
That's what you're supposed to say. It's in the sports
cliche Bible.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Bible. So they all read from the same hymns. They
all do. John Lynch is just running through the.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Greatest hits album of General Manager Karaoke Night. He's doing
all the classics. We believe in the next man up.
We're confident in our guys. It's an opportunity for Mac
to go out there and compete. It's yeah, come on,
like all of a sudden, he's like big balls out
there running around. It's all smoking mirrors, the disco ball
(28:04):
and Lynch is the wedding DJ, playing YMCA at the wedding.
It's not believe this is an obligation. It is an
obligation for John Lynch to do this, And like what
is he supposed to say? Yeah, we're absolutely screwed. It's
John Lynch here the forty nine ers, and I gotta
tell you, I would bet the mortgage on the New
(28:24):
Orleans Saints this weekend because mac Jones is a human
checkdown machine. He's got no confidence in fact, we're actually
gonna have him. We're a diaper because we're waiting for
him to poop his pants. Well that happened in the
first quarter, maybe not maybe the second. And we brought
four diapers, one for each quarter for mac Jones. So
each quarter we're gonna change the diaper. When he poops,
(28:45):
the diaper will be good to go. And you might
want to hide the women and hide the children. It's
like when you tell your buddy you're excited to go
to his kid's violin recital, when you know you're not
excited to go to his kid's violin recital. In fact,
you're trapped, you feel like you have to do it,
and then when you're.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
There, you're you're forced to be there.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
But either listen John Lynch preaching from the Bible, the
sports cliche Bible and the good News Again. You're playing
the Saints and they are as close.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
To an automatic win.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
They are automatica they're close to being excommunicated from the NFL.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
They're so bad and they are terrible, and so yeah,
you should win this game.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I don't think they're gonna dominate. I'd be stunned if
they dominate really well. Saints are terrible, but they're got
a couple guys on defense that are halfway decent and
Mac Jones is just dreadful.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Though, Like over under over under.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Two hundred and ten yards of offense for the forty
nine ers against the Saints, they should be way over that.
They should be way over two hundred and ten yards.
I'm not so sure that they're gonna be over that.
I'm not so confident they're gonna get over that total.
A low scoring game, all right, final point. We now
go to Nashville, the Music City, where Titans quarterback Cam Ward,
(30:10):
good old cam Ward, filling up.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
The content machine. He was the number one overall.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Number of NFL draft back in the in the earlier
part of this year. So cam Ward refused to rip
his pass catchers after they had a case, a chronic
case of the dropsies in the game against the Broncos.
They amazingly had the hands of stone. I guess they
looked at Medusa. They turned the stone. Very sad. Cam
(30:36):
Ward said, quote, I'm never going to get on those
guys for dropping.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
A ball, he said.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
He went on very philosophical about the situation. He said,
bad plays are going to happen. The biggest thing is
when we get back to the huddle, cam Ward said,
we have to always have a next play mentality. Here's
another guy reading out of these sports cliche bible, very excited.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
All right, so let us discuss the question, what's your
judgment on cam Ward defending his pass catchers for the
Titans and saying that he is not going to criticize
them at all for dropping the ball. So this one
is not just by the book. This is over the top.
(31:24):
This is over the top, is what it is. It's
cam Ward turning into mister Miagi, next play mentality, young
grasshopper Confucius.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Of the huddle.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Reality check right, you're not. I don't think you're babysitting.
I have to check your contract. Maybe you our babysitting.
But Tennessee Whiteouts, who cam Ward said before the season
were top five in the NFL. Tennessee Whiteouts dropped so
many balls that you thought they were working at Dick's
Sporting Goods in the clearance area. They kept dropping the
balls in the clearance bin. The receivers were so bad.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
How bad were.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Thanks for asking, Ben, I appreciate that that Titan fans
like Danny and Nashville were pounding fireball shots and already
looking ahead to the mock drafts for twenty twenty six, like, wow,
who can we get in the top ten next year?
So cam Ward sounded also like if you ever call
Walmart customer service and you get through the recorded voices
and all that, and you finally find someone and they'll say, well, yeah,
(32:22):
and I'm.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Sorry about dad. Come back.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
We'll do better next time, you know that kind of thing.
In this case, we'll do better on the next play'll
be fine. Next play will be fine. And so cam
ward of the Titans. Just wanted the role of peacekeeper,
and then he became the therapist and the spiritual advisor
and all that. Unfortunately, do your job as an old
BELICHICKI in line, he'll be running the Titans offense. If
(32:47):
these guys don't start catching passes and they play the
Rams this weekend, then the Titans offense will go straight
into a brick wall faster than the iconic Y League
coyote from Acme with a rocket strapped to his back.
Just kaboomkaboom, gaboom, ga boom, kaboom, kaboom kaboom.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Here we go here, how about that?
Speaker 3 (33:16):
I said, here we go. It's great, all right, Rubalo.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
So it's being reported that the Falcons are willing to
trade Kirk Cousins during the season, but they're asking price
is considered high. That, coupled with the fact that Cousins
can reject any trade, has created the expectation that he
will stay in Atlanta for the whole season.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
Do you think that's the case, Ben.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
No, I don't think that's the case, because what fun
is it. I know he's making the money, he'll make
the money either way, but.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
You want to play.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
And I don't believe that they're going to keep him
because inevitably, we've already seen one starting quarterback get hurt,
brock Purty. There'll be other quarterbacks to get hurt. And
it's like the Falcons are just kind of waiting around.
It's a master class. You wait around, hopefully it doesn't
turn into a disaster class, and you wait for a
big time, top ten quarterback to get hurt. Brock Perty's
not a top ten quarterback, and then you can trade
(34:05):
Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Problem solved.
Speaker 8 (34:07):
Next, Browns players Denzel Ward and Jerry Judy both expressed
the reporters that they believe being eleven and a half
point underdogs against the Ravens this week is disrespectful. Yes, Ben,
is is that too high of a spread? Disrespectful?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Even well, if you watch Benny versus the Penny, I
am taking the Browns, it's not disrespectful.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Your team sucks, That's why it is the way it is.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
Next Ben, if the Pirates continue to let down Paul
Skeens and he finishes the season with a losing record.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
Could he lose out on the cy Young?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, he could lose out on the cy Young. But
it's the old baseball riders that won't vote for him.
The new baseball riders, they don't care he could lose
every game. They still vote Paul Skin's a cy Young
because he's got the good analytics.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
How did we do? Coople mass the sedition that if
they win, I won get. I believe that's a perfect week.

been doing lame.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
How many years you've been doing this weed man, hippie,
it goes way back.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Yeah, well you've been a staple and we paid you
so much money to do this year.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
You've gotten rich doing.
Speaker 9 (35:30):
This, right, this is the segment already started.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
That's the first.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Joke right there. Yes, all right, everything go with you.
You've stayed you've stayed out of jail.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
So that's good. Yes, yeah, I'm good. You like your
roommates still, everything's good between you guys?
Speaker 6 (35:47):
Yeah, yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Oh you look how happy you are? Weed Man. You're
living a dream, I believe. Now, okay, well let's do it.
You're very positive right side, weed Man? First? What up?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Go ahead?
Speaker 6 (36:00):
Made?
Speaker 3 (36:01):
All right? If we added alcohol? What would we call
Benny versus the penny?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
What Benny on Henny versus the penny? That surfer Todd
the comedian? What was blind Scott afraid of as a child?
What the light that said Noah in Austin? If people
(36:28):
see red when they're angry, what does blind Scott see?
Speaker 3 (36:32):
What black? That said Noah in Austin? Thank you for that.
I think blind Scott's off his meds. I don't know
what that is to be a ha ha.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Okay, that was definitely not a ha ha ha. Those
first two from Noah in Austin the last two. What
do blind Scott and Aaron Rodgers have in common? What
they've both got used to being in the dark? That's
Eric in Kansas. Did you hear the blind Scott had
(37:08):
to return his Ai sex doll.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
For being defective? Now, Yeah, it's a weird story.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I guess it kept putting him in the friend zone,
so he returned it.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
So that's a milkman Mike in Colorado. These are actual
jokes by actual listeners.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
If you'd like to send a joke in for a
future episode of Benny and the weed Man, as we're calling, right,
this is our show, weed Man, me and you, side
by side of your lame jokes of the week.
Speaker 3 (37:36):

At Ben Mahler Show, at Ben Mahler Show or at
Ben Mauls Show Gmail Gmail. I screwed it up, weed Man.
It's Ben Malorshow at gmail dot com.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
All right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Why did weed Man hang out on the beach during
a hurricane?
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Why he heard there.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Would be highs and he wanted to.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Be part of it.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
Let's a.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
That's Bobby and FORDA.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
That's got to be the craziest thing you've done for
the show, weed Man, to sit for.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
I can't believe.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
I'm so happy you survived, because I mainly for my purposes,
because I would have never heard the end of it.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
All right, what did weed Man hit the uh?
Speaker 1 (38:16):
What did he see after watching a magician who said
he could turn his audience into windmills?
Speaker 3 (38:23):
What did what did he? What did he say? What
he said? I'm a big fan of this is what
he said? Is what he said? I said Georgia and Uvaldi?
What does what does weed Man know?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Or how does weed Man know his ex wife still
misses him?
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Well, apparently you haven't been hit by any any shots yet,
weed Man. That's a circle, Todd the comedian, Thank you
for that. Why did why did weed Man sign up
for TikTok? Why to tell Blair and Maine to send
over his entire paycheck?
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Is that right? So we weed Man? This guy Blair
in Maine.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
He shaved off his eyebrows because somebody on TikTok told
him to do it, So he shaved.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Off his eyebrows. Yeah, how much money would it cost
you to shave your eyebrows? Weed Man? What exactly? Yes?
Who's weed Man's favorite quarterback?
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Who?
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Danny Dimes and Bobby All right?
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Uh, let's see, I don't know about that. I will
skip over that one. Next up.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Blair in Maine is no longer allowed to play with
chainsaws anymore? Why?
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Well, apparently he was. He was playing with his brother
who's now his half brother. So that's a that's a
hank hank in Chicago. Well, hollering James said he heard
people say that they pick their nose. How about that?
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Really? Yeah, he said, though he was born with his nose,
so he doesn't pick it. This is a solid dad
joke by Chris.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Thank you for that, Chris.

We're gonna start off in the theaters.
Speaker 8 (41:01):
And the only movie that I want to point out
that comes out this weekend that might be worth a watch.
It's called The Long Walk, and so far this is
getting great reviews from critics.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Oh, I want to see that. Yes.
Speaker 8 (41:11):
It is the highly anticipated adaptation of Stephen King's first
written novel, and it is from the visionary director Francis Lawrence,
who directed the Hunger Games franchise, and it is an intense,
chilling and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a
hunting question.
Speaker 9 (41:29):
How far could you go? Probably not as far as
they go? Yeah, probably not. My ankles would give out.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Well it's a movie, so yeah, go very far in
a movie, all right.
Speaker 8 (41:40):
Moving over to television, we have and this is on
Showtime and it's available to stream right now on Paramount
Plus or if you just subscribe to the Showtime channel
that'll premiere on Showtime at nine pm on Sunday. But
it's called Reunion. It is a limited series and it
is about a deaf, convicted murderer that returns home after
(42:01):
a lengthy prison sentence with a two item agenda reconcile
with his daughter and seek revenge.
Speaker 9 (42:08):
That's right.

It is a five part BBC production and it is
told partly in British sign language.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Is there is that different than America? Yes?

This is the best of the Ben Mahler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
A cheezy kind of a night.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Welme in, we'll beginning of another full edition of the
Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
We are in the air everywhere as we chisel away
on the overnight hours, and we are mapping and snapping
coast coast, border to border and beyond on the mast
and super eminently powerful microphones of fsre ammating.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Live from the cream the free goodness of our cheesy
takes from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by the Green Bay Gobbler Rick in Maryland, Sleazy
cheese and ostrich ant. They all know that the Ben
Maler Show in part made possible by our friends at
ty Iraq, where.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
The rubber meets the road.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
For over forty years, Ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they
drive shit fast at freeback by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire iraq
dot Com the way tire buying should be. So we're
back at it again. Glad you could hang out with
(01:48):
us a little bit here on the overnight and we begin.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Let's see where should we start? Any meenie miney mode.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh, there was only one game. It was an island game.
You know we love island games. Yes, they design find
the professional football schedule to accommodate the overnight show because
every night we're on there's a game, well three nights
a week. You get the Sunday night and then at
the Monday and then Thursday, and so we've got all that.
But our lead this hour is from the not frozen Tundra,
(02:19):
a few miles away from where my younger brother resides.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
There lambeau Field and the Week two.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Card in the NFL kicking off in that hallowed venue,
which is pretty whack.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I've only been once. I went to there was no game.
I didn't go to a game.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I went to the gift shop there which is the
size of like Costco or a super Walmart.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
They got a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
And anyway, a couple of NFC heavyweights there upstart quarterbacks,
the next generation of quarterbacks, at least in theory, the
Commanders and the Packers. So if you did not see
this game, and if you missed it, well we got you.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
We watched it.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's our good mits for the day. So he did
not have to Jordan Love feeling the love and the
Packers ended up with some bad field position, but as
a coach told me years ago, bad field position means
good stats if you make the plays, and Jordan Love
made some of them, made to make all of them,
and there were there were some points left on the field,
but Jordan Love ended up with two hundred and ninety
(03:19):
two yards and a couple of touchdowns, and the Packers,
who seemed like they were up by fifty points.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Were not.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
They ended up beating the Washington football team twenty seven
to eighteen the final on Thursday night. And you couple
that with the victory over the Lions back in Week one,
and that was all the way back on Sunday, so.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
They Packers already.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Have two wins over teams that were in the playoffs
last year, and someone named Tucker Craft. Someone named Tucker
Craft apparently it's a tight end had six catches for
a career high on hundred and twenty four yards. The
better story, though, is in the losing locker room, Jaden,
you told me how great this guy was.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I bought into. I did, I bought in? I was ah.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, Thursday night, short week, prime time, the stars shine
under the bright lights, and well, Jordan Love did not.
He had a horrific start to this game, one of
the worst halfs you'll ever see who.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
You're not supposed to say that, but he's a superstar. Okay,
he sucked.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
He had forty nine yards passing in the first half,
and a lot of that was because he was zipping
the ball where it didn't need to go. It was
just bad all the way around. In the balance of
that game. You know, he had some garbage time stats
in the fourth quarter, and mathematically the Washington team was
(04:40):
in the game, but realistically they were not anyway. Before
we get into the meetia the monologue this year from
Jaden Daniels here, the Washington quarterback, who points out that
the execution was slightly different in this game.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
They executed their scheme, whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Okay, they executed it.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Really well because they won the game and we just
didn't make plays. Starts with me, starts with everybody in France,
starts with the whole offensive skill group. So it's not
playing a finger at anybody. Collectively, we're all to blame
and we'll get back to work.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Okay, So that's right out of the handbook. Is you're
supposed to say no one individually is to blame when
absolutely individuals are to blame. Well, here's more from Jade
and Daniels. Here's Jane and Daniels saying, oh, I said no, no,
he didn't care about the fact they lost. He's already
moved on, right, Jaden, Yes.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I didn't done to dwell about it.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
You know, early in the season, I wouldn't expect them
by in this locker room to hit the panic button.
We faced a really good team and we came up short.
So we'll move on in this game. Okay, there you go. Well,
I have a talk show to do, so I'm not
going to move on. You can move on, but I
have a talk show four.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Hours to do, so I'm gonna sit right here and
I'm going to slice it up and dice it. And
that's how I'm going to do it, because I have
a job, so that's my gig. And again I didn't
I rant about this the other day. Everyone freaks out
about the panic, but nobody wants.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
To get the pan.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
No panic, no panic, no panic anyway. All right, so
let us discuss the question. You heard some sound there
from Jaden Daniels. So the Commander's quarterback, Jaden Daniels, who
looked absolutely horrible, I mean just horrific. How much of
this is on him? And how much of this is
on the lamboo Lambeau voodoo.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
You told me there's some Lambeau voodoo.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
There now that Micah Parsons is playing for the Green
Bay Packers. So again you've got Jaden Daniels, who look
like he should be playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers
the way he performed in this game, and how much
of that is on him, and how much of that
is on the Lambeau voodoo.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
So I've got coach meat Balls and AOL.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Dial up if you know what that is, and we'll
combine all these things together and we are going to
make some brats and some cheese kurts is what we're
gonna make, all right. So A I do not want
to hear about the Lambbo voodoo.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I don't the mystique of the frozen time.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Anytime the Packers get a halfway decent team, I have
to hear about this. I remember, they've lost so many
big games in my life at lambeau Field, like playoff Caans.
Remember Michael Vick had a terrible game years ago for
the Atlanta Falcons, went in there and beat the Packers.
The Falcons did at lambeau Field. There's be some other
home losses there on the Aaron Rodgers years. So I
don't want to hear about that. This wasn't Vince Lombardi
(07:22):
rising from the grave to go cast a spell over
the Washington football team. Jaden Daniels did not trip over
some kind of cheese curd that was thrown on the
field there.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
He flatlined on his own. And while he wants to
move on, that's fine, we're not.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
He was flying coach, and he was flying coach, that's
right on the vomit commet. He didn't even have a
first class seat. Jaden Daniels was sitting in coach on
the vomit comet. There was turbulence, There was no oxygen masks.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
There was just.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Projectile vomit that was flying in the air everywhere on
the vomit comet. Now, he managed to suck at a
time he cannot mentioned the first half forty nine yards
passing in the first half forty nine right, And he
sucked at a time he can't suck.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
And that's the NFL.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
In the NFL rule Book, page one, when the lights
are bright and they're shining on you. When that's the
case there, you cannot soil the carpet. And there was
a lot of urine that was on the field there. Now,
Jade Daniels, I guess he tried to burn the rug,
which is one way to do it. Now, what did
I see? I saw a Chris Paul style performance CP
(08:30):
three with bounce passes, which would be great if it
was basketball, but unfortunately the NFL bounce passes don't work.
You're supposed to throw to your guy, not the invisible
boogeyman running slants in another dimension. And I gotta tell you, though,
the invisible boogeyman running slants caught a lot of passes
(08:51):
from Jaden Daniels because those things were they were either
sailing in the air or they were bouncing on the ground.
Bouncy bouncy, bouncy, bouncy bouncy, throw to the left, throw
the right into the Lambeau.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Field shadows, the shadow people at Lambolefield.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Anywhere but on target. So where were the big plays?
Where were the big plays? So I didn't see them
in a big plays running plays of more than ten yards,
passing plays of more than fifteen.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yards, and I didn't see too many of those.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I did not, And instead it looked like somebody unplugged
the Madden controller on what had been an amazing run
there for Jay and Dan. They didn't looked all great
last week either. No chunky soup, no chunk plays, just
watered down broth. That's all there was now page two,
So who else gets called the Congress playing the commander
(09:43):
blame game?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
We love the blame game? Who's going to be called
to Capitol Hill?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
So that performance in the first half in particular, now,
mathematically they were not out of the game, but it
just looked like that was Dan Snyder's Washington team that
they had the chart of the old Redskins right lawsuits
of poenas. The team looked like it was doodling in
the margins instead of running an actual game plan. We're
(10:08):
not sure what they were doing. And don't let Cliff
Kingsbury slink away there. This is supposed to be X's
and O's genius offensive savant, the quarterback whisperer, And if
he was whispering to Jade and Daniels, he.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Must have been.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Daniels must have been wearing those noise canceling headphones because
he didn't hear anything. The playbook looked like it was
scribbled in crayon on a Southwest Airline's flight to green Bay.
And I don't even know if Southwest goes to green Bay.
That's just what it looked like. There was nothing all
that creative. Didn't seem like there were any in game
adjustments that were made. It's like, this is our game plan,
this is what we're gonna do. And it's the football
(10:47):
equivalent of a gift stuck in a loop, you know,
just playing over and just a bad day. That's it
that we'll move on. Just the groundhog day, that's it.
And what about the commander's defense. A lot of this
has been offensively focused, but what about the commander's defense.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
You see the game dan Quinn and you start worring.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
This kind of looked like the Falcons when he coached
there after a while, right, just kind of a flat
performance there. I said, well, it's a Thursday and night,
but dan Quinn's a defensive guy. That's supposed to be
his meat and potatoes. And instead of the meat and potatoes,
the Washington football team was serving up vegan meatballs. And
no one wants vegan meatballs. Even vegans don't want vegan meatballs, right,
(11:29):
They're soft, bland, nobody wants them.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
And they had this the vibe I got.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
And listen if you watched Benny versus de Penning on YouTube,
we hope you did. I obviously had the wrong side
in that game, and I knew right away. I started,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Go, I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I went on social media because I was amazed at
how many commercial Shaquille O'Neil was in, because every other
commercial shock was in there. But then I put the
thing away. I turned the app off and I started
texting some friends. I said, I'm cooked. They got look
at them I knew right away the body language very
rarely are you wrong on that? With the body language,
it looked like they felt sorry for themselves, that they
all boohooo, we gotta go out here and play on Thursday.
(12:06):
The body language just it just rereaked up. We don't
really want to be here. We really don't want to
be We want to be somewhere. We don't be here, though.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
We want to go somewhere, maybe maybe across the street,
but we don't be here.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
And you could see it, and they were half step slow,
heads down, like they were just there's like there playing
some kind of charity situation or something like that instead
of an NFL matchup.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
There's no edge to them.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And I was amazed that they still mathematically had a
chance to even cover the spread forget and win the
game in the fourth quarter. It should have been forty
one to ten or something like that. The way that
the separation between these two teams and the Packers fumbled
the mallet and they didn't put the hammer down otherwise,
you don't have to be some kind of NFL guru
(12:50):
to know this would have been a full pantsing, a
full humiliation situation. And the way the best way to
describe how Washington played. It was like a FedEx field pipe,
sewage pipe bursting. And that's how they played, just sewage
raining down on fans. That good fan experience, the all
(13:10):
inclusive fan experience, is that right?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
No, it's not ring. What is it? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
It's brown? I don't know why is it smell? I
don't just keep watching the game, all right? Now, last
word here, So in the winner's locker room, we will
go over to the lesser story.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
The winner's locker room, and the packers are two and oh,
two and oh and everyone in.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Wisconsin and all the owners of the Green Bay Packers,
the stockholders are spiking the broughtwurst and right into the
cheese dip there.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
They're so excited they just won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
So I asked the question, are you, as a neutral
party like me, are you drinking the green kool aid?
Are you voting yes? That this is legit, that this
is going to continue? So I am an undecided voter
on this. I was really down on the Lions. I
thought the Lions it was more about what the Lions
(14:07):
didn't do than anything special the Green Bay Packers did.
Last week, the Lions look a lot weaker than they
have been in recent years, and they had some kind
of playoff hangover from losing last year. And then Washington,
as we pointed out, they showed up like they just
really didn't want to be there like they had They
went to the DMV and they didn't have an appointment,
(14:28):
and then they had to wait online, and they ended
up waiting for like eight hours online and then it
was and they would do another line that was like
three hours, so they spent eleven hours online and they
were kind of tired, and they wanted to sit down.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
They want to play the game.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And so you look at it from that perspective, and
in those bifocals, it's two softballs that were lobbed right
down the middle underhanded. Green Bay swung. To their credit,
they hit home runs, but they're eating cupcakes. You don't
need a knife to eat a cupcake. Right. It's good
for them, It does not mean you're the nineteen eighty
five Bears, defensively reincarnated. And and don't even get me
(15:00):
started on the Amazon broadcast because they they had Micah Parsons.
I had to mute them at one But now I
love al Michaels. But the other people on that broadcast,
holy crap.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Man.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
But the way they were making it seem like Michael
Parsons was the human version of he Man stopping on skeletor.
And I must have been using AOL dial up to
connect to Amazon, because I didn't see it that way.
I thought Parsons was fine standard, pretty good defensive players.
He's the highest paid player in the NFL other than
(15:34):
the quarterback. You should play really well every play, every game.
And yet again, a lot of that came in the
second half. A lot of his production came in the
second half when even mathematically Washington was in the game.
He just didn't get the vibe they were and Parsons
made a couple of plays al Michaels, And it was.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Really the random women. I don't know who they are.
I don't write.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Their names down, and they're just you know, the entire
broadcast was annoying, and they made it seem like he
was wearing Micah Parsons a cape and he was leaping
tall buildings in a single mound. You know, calm down,
by the way, just how bad is the Amazon broadcast
in general? I mean, do they deliberately assemble. Do they
have meetings at Amazon's. How can we get the most
(16:17):
annoying group of human beings and let them talk football
while they talk over each other like it's a holiday
dinner with your in laws.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
It's just brutal.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Now again, we love Al Michael Herbstreet's fine, he annoys
me sometimes, but the rest of the pregame, halftime, postgame crew,
it's like the island of misfit toys.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
There. You've got Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Who gives out that like kind of annoying, over the
top uncle energy. You've got Richard Sherman who's just filipbustering.
I don't think he even knows what he's saying. And
then you got Tony Gonzalez who looks like he doesn't
want to be there because he's too cool to be there,
and he would like to take an uber, but not
just an Uber, he wants a high end uber home
because he's.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Like, I'm look how good looking I am.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I don't need to be here. You people are all ugly.
I'm Tony Gonzalez, I look marvelous. Why am I here?

hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the

job as we are gripping and hanging out together here
(18:33):
coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
mast and smashingly powerful microphones of fsre and moinating live
from the Bark the Bark after dark from the world
famous Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by the Salsas
are in this portion of the Ben Malor Show on Fox,
(18:55):

ship fast free back by free road hazard protection with

Com the way the Tire Buying Show be. So our
lead this hour not from the game at lambeau Field
(19:19):
last night, the Green Bay Packers on a Thursday night
Get or Done, but our lead this hour from deep
in the heart of Texas, the gift that keeps on giving.
We go to Jerry's world. Jerry was serenaded at the
Green Bay Packer game. But prior to that, we learned
that wide receiver Cde Lamb Ceedee Lamb has started going viral.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Maybe you saw it, maybe you didn't.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
So Ceedee Lamb caught passes, We've learned from a jugs gun.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
That's a machine that throws the ball.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So we caught this bunch of passes from the jugs
machine last week on the Cowboys day off after they
played on Thursday. On Friday, he was trying to shake
off a opener which saw him drop not one, not two,
but three three passes. So if you didn't see this,
(20:12):
maybe not. Some eight hours after the Cowboys' team plane
touchdown back in Texas, players had the day off and
Ceedee Lamb was at the Death Star catching passes from
the jugs machine there and he was asked about it.
He said, quote that wasn't supposed to go viral. Ceedee
(20:33):
Lamb said, wink wink, wink, not no nod. I wasn't
doing that for no internet. To be honest, Lamb said,
speaking the King's English So I came in on a
day when nobody was in the building and I still
caught a camera. I didn't even know that the camera
was there. Shout out to them. Ceedee Lamb said, As
(20:57):
for me, Bro, it's going back to my fundamentals. I
know what it is. I know what to do again.
It's game one. We have sixteen more of these, okay,
and then after the games this weekend, we have fifteen
more to go.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
It's only game number two. So that is our lead
this hour. So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Ceedee Lamb, wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, says that
on his off day, his workout was not supposed to
go viral.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
It was not do you believe it or not?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Do you believe that this was actually something that was
supposed to be done under the cover of darkness and
that he did not intend did not intend to get
media coverage out of this. So I've got Jake Paul,
Karaoke Night, and mister Miyagi and we will combine all
of these things together and we are gonna make your
babushka's favorite pastrami fries, because every good babushka loves pastrami fries.
(21:58):
So number, I said number. All right, stop, stop, drop
and roll. Ceedee Lamb says his off day workout wasn't
supposed to go viral. Please come on now, I am
agnostic on this one.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
I am not a believer. You play for what team?
All right? You play for the Cowboys? What's the logo
on the helmet? A star? Let me tell you something. Okay,
if you don't.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Realize there are cameras everywhere in Jerry's world, you.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Are dumb d dumb, dumb dumb. I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
You could fart in Jerry's world, a big wet fart,
and there'll be eight different camera angles and it'll be
all over the social media for the Cowboys. Did you
see Ceedee Lamb's fart? Do you think that's you know,
what was the exit velocity of the fart? You know
that kind of So it's not football, it's a It's
the hype industrial complex, is what it is. It's the
(22:56):
deal when you sign up to where the Star. Everything
is a reality show. Football is second. Everything's for public consumption.
You're basically Jake Paul and Shoulder Pats, you know, the
annoying influencer from the TikTok and YouTube and Ceedee Lamb
is a card carrying member of the attention Horrors of America.
(23:16):
Whether he admits it or not, everything is content right
and there's the dirty little secret they do not want
you to talk about.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Like all of a sudden, this is now a problem.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Ceede Lamb's hands spoiler alert, he's got bad hands. He's
got for all the glitz and the glamour one hundred
million dollar branding deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
If you look at.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
His production since the year twenty twenty, since the pandemic
in twenty twenty, Ceedee Lamb leads the entire NFL and
dropped passes. He's not number two or number three or
number four, He's number one in drop He's at the
top of the board. So forget about the jugs machine.
(23:58):
They could fly over Tear from England to throw him
the football. It doesn't matter. What he really needs is
to go old school and you find Manuel and Guardina.
Maybe Manuel knows somebody who knows somebody, and then they
can get their hands on some of the like nineteen
seventies raiders stick them.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
That they used to use to catch the pets.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
His myths are are pretty bad, right, I mean, so
spare us the afshocks. I didn't even know the camera
was their routine. Come on the Cowboys again. They're in
the business of manufacturing drama. That's the brand, that's the product,
that's what they sell. And Jerry Jones could put a
(24:39):
popcorn stand at a funeral and make it a spectacle
because he'd put the Cowboy logo on it.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
You know, he'd make little, you know, a.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Little funeral sized popcorn containers and things. But everything in
Dallas is for public consumption, whether it's intentional or not.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
And so ceedee Lamb swears.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
And you know, just going back to fundamental is like
this whole thing that well, he signed the contract.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Do you think his agent leaked it?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Who do you think linked it? You think there was
a Cowboy pr team the agent. Was it a group
project where they got together? And see he's like the Mamba.
He goes into the gym after a game and all
that stuff. Okay, he's practicing the fundamentals, fundamentals, big fundamental.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
That's the Cowboy way, unless it's not.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Now page two, we go now to Northern California, San Francisco,
Ad Jason Santa Clara that is where brock Perdy is
officially down.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
For the count.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
He has been ruled out. Oh my aching toe. He'll
be doing a sleepover in the injury tent. Bring your
sleeping bag and an overnight bag as well. And so
the Boss by the Bay, the Boss by the Bay has.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Spoken a man who I used to work for his dad.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
His dad was a radio executive, John Lynch, the GM
of the forty nine ers. And it turns out that
John Lynch is actually fired up for the backup quarterback,
Mac Jones.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Take a listen to the GM and the Niners.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
John Lynch, take a list You know, we're really pleased
to have Mac here. You know, Mac was a guy
back in the in the draft process. You know, we
studied a lot, really liked. You know, has had his
ups and downs in his NFL career, but since he's
been a part of us, really has taken to our offense,
(26:31):
really fits our culture.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
He can run our offense and run it well, and
we don't have to change a whole lot when he's
out there. So I'm excited to see him get an
opportunity to go show what he can do.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
All right, there's the quote, So question give me your
reaction to John Lynch and his excitement to watch Mac
Jones play.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Yikes.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
All right, so this is kind of like me saying
I'm excited to see the sun come up tomorrow. Okay,
I appreciate the insight there, John, thank you for that.
It's truly Pullitzer worthy stuff. Here, Captain Obvious is knocking
on the door. Now, this is the oldest sermon in
the Bible of sports cliches. If you study the Bible,
the sports cliche Bible, this is the oldest sermon.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
It's Chapter three, verse sixteen.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Thou shall not say anything negative about the backup quarterback,
And now shall say I am excited to see what
the backup quarterback can do whenever the starter gets hurt.
That's what you're supposed to say. It's in the sports
cliche Bible.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Bible. So they all read from the same hymns. They
all do. John Lynch is just running through the.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Greatest hits album of General Manager Karaoke Night. He's doing
all the classics. We believe in the next man up.
We're confident in our guys. It's an opportunity for Mac
to go out there and compete. It's yeah, come on,
like all of a sudden, he's like big balls out
there running around. It's all smoking mirrors, the disco ball
(28:04):
and Lynch is the wedding DJ, playing YMCA at the wedding.
It's not believe this is an obligation. It is an
obligation for John Lynch to do this, And like what
is he supposed to say? Yeah, we're absolutely screwed. It's
John Lynch here the forty nine ers, and I gotta
tell you, I would bet the mortgage on the New
(28:24):
Orleans Saints this weekend because mac Jones is a human
checkdown machine. He's got no confidence in fact, we're actually
gonna have him. We're a diaper because we're waiting for
him to poop his pants. Well that happened in the
first quarter, maybe not maybe the second. And we brought
four diapers, one for each quarter for mac Jones. So
each quarter we're gonna change the diaper. When he poops,
(28:45):
the diaper will be good to go. And you might
want to hide the women and hide the children. It's
like when you tell your buddy you're excited to go
to his kid's violin recital, when you know you're not
excited to go to his kid's violin recital. In fact,
you're trapped, you feel like you have to do it,
and then when you're.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
There, you're you're forced to be there.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
But either listen John Lynch preaching from the Bible, the
sports cliche Bible and the good News Again. You're playing
the Saints and they are as close.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
To an automatic win.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
They are automatica they're close to being excommunicated from the NFL.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
They're so bad and they are terrible, and so yeah,
you should win this game.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I don't think they're gonna dominate. I'd be stunned if
they dominate really well. Saints are terrible, but they're got
a couple guys on defense that are halfway decent and
Mac Jones is just dreadful.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Though, Like over under over under.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Two hundred and ten yards of offense for the forty
nine ers against the Saints, they should be way over that.
They should be way over two hundred and ten yards.
I'm not so sure that they're gonna be over that.
I'm not so confident they're gonna get over that total.
A low scoring game, all right, final point. We now
go to Nashville, the Music City, where Titans quarterback Cam Ward,
(30:10):
good old cam Ward, filling up.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
The content machine. He was the number one overall.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Number of NFL draft back in the in the earlier
part of this year. So cam Ward refused to rip
his pass catchers after they had a case, a chronic
case of the dropsies in the game against the Broncos.
They amazingly had the hands of stone. I guess they
looked at Medusa. They turned the stone. Very sad. Cam
(30:36):
Ward said, quote, I'm never going to get on those
guys for dropping.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
A ball, he said.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
He went on very philosophical about the situation. He said,
bad plays are going to happen. The biggest thing is
when we get back to the huddle, cam Ward said,
we have to always have a next play mentality. Here's
another guy reading out of these sports cliche bible, very excited.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
All right, so let us discuss the question, what's your
judgment on cam Ward defending his pass catchers for the
Titans and saying that he is not going to criticize
them at all for dropping the ball. So this one
is not just by the book. This is over the top.
(31:24):
This is over the top, is what it is. It's
cam Ward turning into mister Miagi, next play mentality, young
grasshopper Confucius.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Of the huddle.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Reality check right, you're not. I don't think you're babysitting.
I have to check your contract. Maybe you our babysitting.
But Tennessee Whiteouts, who cam Ward said before the season
were top five in the NFL. Tennessee Whiteouts dropped so
many balls that you thought they were working at Dick's
Sporting Goods in the clearance area. They kept dropping the
balls in the clearance bin. The receivers were so bad.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
How bad were.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Thanks for asking, Ben, I appreciate that that Titan fans
like Danny and Nashville were pounding fireball shots and already
looking ahead to the mock drafts for twenty twenty six, like, wow,
who can we get in the top ten next year?
So cam Ward sounded also like if you ever call
Walmart customer service and you get through the recorded voices
and all that, and you finally find someone and they'll say, well, yeah,
(32:22):
and I'm.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Sorry about dad. Come back.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
We'll do better next time, you know that kind of thing.
In this case, we'll do better on the next play'll
be fine. Next play will be fine. And so cam
ward of the Titans. Just wanted the role of peacekeeper,
and then he became the therapist and the spiritual advisor
and all that. Unfortunately, do your job as an old
BELICHICKI in line, he'll be running the Titans offense. If
(32:47):
these guys don't start catching passes and they play the
Rams this weekend, then the Titans offense will go straight
into a brick wall faster than the iconic Y League
coyote from Acme with a rocket strapped to his back.
Just kaboomkaboom, gaboom, ga boom, kaboom, kaboom kaboom.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Here we go here, how about that?
Speaker 3 (33:16):
I said, here we go. It's great, all right, Rubalo.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
So it's being reported that the Falcons are willing to
trade Kirk Cousins during the season, but they're asking price
is considered high. That, coupled with the fact that Cousins
can reject any trade, has created the expectation that he
will stay in Atlanta for the whole season.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
Do you think that's the case, Ben.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
No, I don't think that's the case, because what fun
is it. I know he's making the money, he'll make
the money either way, but.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
You want to play.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
And I don't believe that they're going to keep him
because inevitably, we've already seen one starting quarterback get hurt,
brock Purty. There'll be other quarterbacks to get hurt. And
it's like the Falcons are just kind of waiting around.
It's a master class. You wait around, hopefully it doesn't
turn into a disaster class, and you wait for a
big time, top ten quarterback to get hurt. Brock Perty's
not a top ten quarterback, and then you can trade
(34:05):
Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Problem solved.
Speaker 8 (34:07):
Next, Browns players Denzel Ward and Jerry Judy both expressed
the reporters that they believe being eleven and a half
point underdogs against the Ravens this week is disrespectful. Yes, Ben,
is is that too high of a spread? Disrespectful?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Even well, if you watch Benny versus the Penny, I
am taking the Browns, it's not disrespectful.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Your team sucks, That's why it is the way it is.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
Next Ben, if the Pirates continue to let down Paul
Skeens and he finishes the season with a losing record.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
Could he lose out on the cy Young?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, he could lose out on the cy Young. But
it's the old baseball riders that won't vote for him.
The new baseball riders, they don't care he could lose
every game. They still vote Paul Skin's a cy Young
because he's got the good analytics.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
How did we do? Coople mass the sedition that if
they win, I won get. I believe that's a perfect week.

Let's do this and we welcome in our friend who's
been doing lame.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
How many years you've been doing this weed man, hippie,
it goes way back.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Yeah, well you've been a staple and we paid you
so much money to do this year.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
You've gotten rich doing.
Speaker 9 (35:30):
This, right, this is the segment already started.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
That's the first.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Joke right there. Yes, all right, everything go with you.
You've stayed you've stayed out of jail.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
So that's good. Yes, yeah, I'm good. You like your
roommates still, everything's good between you guys?
Speaker 6 (35:47):
Yeah, yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Oh you look how happy you are? Weed Man. You're
living a dream, I believe. Now, okay, well let's do it.
You're very positive right side, weed Man? First? What up?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Go ahead?
Speaker 6 (36:00):
Made?
Speaker 3 (36:01):
All right? If we added alcohol? What would we call
Benny versus the penny?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
What Benny on Henny versus the penny? That surfer Todd
the comedian? What was blind Scott afraid of as a child?
What the light that said Noah in Austin? If people
(36:28):
see red when they're angry, what does blind Scott see?
Speaker 3 (36:32):
What black? That said Noah in Austin? Thank you for that.
I think blind Scott's off his meds. I don't know
what that is to be a ha ha.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Okay, that was definitely not a ha ha ha. Those
first two from Noah in Austin the last two. What
do blind Scott and Aaron Rodgers have in common? What
they've both got used to being in the dark? That's
Eric in Kansas. Did you hear the blind Scott had
(37:08):
to return his Ai sex doll.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
For being defective? Now, Yeah, it's a weird story.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I guess it kept putting him in the friend zone,
so he returned it.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
So that's a milkman Mike in Colorado. These are actual
jokes by actual listeners.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
If you'd like to send a joke in for a
future episode of Benny and the weed Man, as we're calling, right,
this is our show, weed Man, me and you, side
by side of your lame jokes of the week.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
All right, all right, don't get too excited.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
At Ben Mahler Show, at Ben Mahler Show or at
Ben Mauls Show Gmail Gmail. I screwed it up, weed Man.
It's Ben Malorshow at gmail dot com.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
All right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Why did weed Man hang out on the beach during
a hurricane?
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Why he heard there.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Would be highs and he wanted to.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Be part of it.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
Let's a.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
That's Bobby and FORDA.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
That's got to be the craziest thing you've done for
the show, weed Man, to sit for.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
I can't believe.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
I'm so happy you survived, because I mainly for my purposes,
because I would have never heard the end of it.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
All right, what did weed Man hit the uh?
Speaker 1 (38:16):
What did he see after watching a magician who said
he could turn his audience into windmills?
Speaker 3 (38:23):
What did what did he? What did he say? What
he said? I'm a big fan of this is what
he said? Is what he said? I said Georgia and Uvaldi?
What does what does weed Man know?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Or how does weed Man know his ex wife still
misses him?
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Well, apparently you haven't been hit by any any shots yet,
weed Man. That's a circle, Todd the comedian, Thank you
for that. Why did why did weed Man sign up
for TikTok? Why to tell Blair and Maine to send
over his entire paycheck?
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Is that right? So we weed Man? This guy Blair
in Maine.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
He shaved off his eyebrows because somebody on TikTok told
him to do it, So he shaved.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Off his eyebrows. Yeah, how much money would it cost
you to shave your eyebrows? Weed Man? What exactly? Yes?
Who's weed Man's favorite quarterback?
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Who?
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Danny Dimes and Bobby All right?
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Uh, let's see, I don't know about that. I will
skip over that one. Next up.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Blair in Maine is no longer allowed to play with
chainsaws anymore? Why?
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Well, apparently he was. He was playing with his brother
who's now his half brother. So that's a that's a
hank hank in Chicago. Well, hollering James said he heard
people say that they pick their nose. How about that?
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Really? Yeah, he said, though he was born with his nose,
so he doesn't pick it. This is a solid dad
joke by Chris.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Thank you for that, Chris.

We're gonna start off in the theaters.
Speaker 8 (41:01):
And the only movie that I want to point out
that comes out this weekend that might be worth a watch.
It's called The Long Walk, and so far this is
getting great reviews from critics.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Oh, I want to see that. Yes.
Speaker 8 (41:11):
It is the highly anticipated adaptation of Stephen King's first
written novel, and it is from the visionary director Francis Lawrence,
who directed the Hunger Games franchise, and it is an intense,
chilling and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a
hunting question.
Speaker 9 (41:29):
How far could you go? Probably not as far as
they go? Yeah, probably not. My ankles would give out.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Well it's a movie, so yeah, go very far in
a movie, all right.
Speaker 8 (41:40):
Moving over to television, we have and this is on
Showtime and it's available to stream right now on Paramount
Plus or if you just subscribe to the Showtime channel
that'll premiere on Showtime at nine pm on Sunday. But
it's called Reunion. It is a limited series and it
is about a deaf, convicted murderer that returns home after
(42:01):
a lengthy prison sentence with a two item agenda reconcile
with his daughter and seek revenge.
Speaker 9 (42:08):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (42:09):
It is a five part BBC production and it is
told partly in British sign language.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Is there is that different than America? Yes?

That was it is there is there a different like
Braille is a different braille too, Different.
