Danny g' is gonna be with us this weekend, so
it's just me all weekend long on the Fifth Hour Podcast.
Today A fun opportunity in a chat with one of
my buddies. A longtime TV broadcaster covering Major League Baseball
for sixteen seasons with the Minnesota Twins from nine to
twenty twelve, the Pirates from twenty thirteen or twenty thirteen
(00:51):
to twenty twenty three. He also worked for the Texas
Rangers as well. As his name is Robbie is his
first name, and Ick mccoskey is his last name, and
we'll hear he's had very interesting career in broadcasting. And
I met him in a press box. He came up
to me and said, hey, I listened to the show,
and I thought that.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
He was full of crap.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Turns out he's he was a fan of the show,
So check that out on the fifth hour podcast, only
available on the podcast. As we get closer by the
world Baseball classes get underway and opening days just a
few weeks away now an hour one of this podcast,
Cowboys bowing out of the Max Crosby sweepstakes developing hot
dot dot dot.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
What's this storyline? Tell us?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
If Dallas is pivoting to edge Trey Hendrickson over Max Crosby,
how big a downgrade would that be for the Cowboys?
And what stands out to you about the Washington football
team looking to add wide receiver Brandon ayuc On a
prove it deal if he's let go officially by the
forty nine ers. We'll cross examine all of those issues.
(01:58):
Get to it right now here is our number.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
One, every everything, everything needs to be out there.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Mahlor Show.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
We are in the air of reware at all times,
at all times, as we warm your heart, unless we
don't coast the coast, border, the border, and beyond on.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The vast and.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Humongously powerful microphones of FSR, amminating live do it live
from the pillars, the pillars of the audio.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Temple of Sports Talk.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
As we are side by side the world famous Fox
Sports Radio Studios. Now Sean g who's an epic clipper guy,
Big Clipper. He did a documentary about Benoit Benjamin. It's
on YouTube. How about that? Yeah, he reminds us that
this hour made possible by our friends at ti Iraq.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
For over forty years.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Tyre Raq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive. Ship Fast and
free back by Free Road has a protection which alf
the alien O Pineter, ferg Dog and mallardprop guy like
a whole lot with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And hopefully you're doing all right.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
We are back at it here all night, every night, podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Every weekend, and we jump in with both feet.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And then later on we'll do a belly whopper as
we do have Mallard to the third degree.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Later who am I game? Way down the line, we'll.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Have Sports Jeopardy and the comedy club will open up.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's basically bashing our friend weed man hippie in Miami.
But it'll be lame jokes of the week that'll be
coming up in our number three. But opportunity knocks.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
There you go. It's a preview. There's a preview of.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Lame jokes, all right, So our lead to begin, We're
gonna start with the grapevine. It is the silly season,
and when it is the silly season, you must go
on a rampage and enjoy every little nugget that comes out.
So we start out deep in the heart of Texas.
The plot thickens in Jerry's world. Have you heard the
(04:37):
latest on this? Have you been following? No, you're okay?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Good? Good for you? Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
So we learned now that the Cowboys thought they assumed,
you know what happens when you assume they were close
to acquiring Raiders edge rusher Max Crosby. That's Max with
two xes, not three xes. Max Crosby via a trade
this week. However, apparently that did not happen because he's
(05:05):
Crosby's nd been traded and the other teams have been
sniffing around trying to get in there. And so now
the offers that the Raiders have are supposedly greater than
the Cowboys offer, and I love that. The report said
that the offers for Crosby are potentially potentially.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Up to two first round draft picks.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So the Cowboys, again this is the scuttle butt, have
tapped out. They've tossed in the sponge here and pivoted
to free agent defensive end or soon to be free
agent defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who the Bengals decided.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
They didn't want to pay anymore and so they got
rid of him. Get out of here, you're done. We
can have the NFL's worst defense without you. We don't
need you.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
So that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss.
There's a lot to this. So the question the reporting
the Cowboys are bowing out of the Max Crosby sweepsteaks.
What's that storyline?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Tell you? So my thoughts on this. I've got QBC.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Madrid and large yellow sticker, and we will combine all
of these things together and we're going to pull the
pin on an audio.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Grenade, is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, I know, I know, all right, So A I
like to use the time tested Mallard Schnaz test and
do the old smell test.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
So I'm gonna do that right now.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, so smells like Jerry Jones is doing what Jerry
Jones does best. He wins the off season. You can
rip them all you want, you can say that what
he does is a throwback to medieval times, but he
wins the all off season, the marketing circus under the
big top fund for all ages, Come one, come a
(07:06):
Jerry's great at it. Not just an owner, He's a
marketing maven, an absolute marketing maven. The Guide treats the
NFL like QVC. Everything is a promotion, Everything is a
teaser trailer. Jerry leaks out, Dallas is out, the Sharks
starts circling. The debate shows start going on and on
(07:28):
about the cowboys. Of course, Jerry don't have to say
anything for the debate shows to talk about the cowboys.
Everyone gets all worked into a lather, all worked into
a ladder, and suddenly the cowboys are the lead story
yet again. And Max Crosby right now is sitting on
a folding chair somewhere out there, maybe a table, I think,
maybe a chair, sitting on a chair there, And the
(07:51):
flea market is open for business. And then the Raiders
are walking around and Tom Brady's got his skinny pants on.
You get the megaphone out there, who wants an all
pro pass rusher? Come on down, Come on down right now?
Do I hear two first round picks? How about two
first rounds? The second round pick? Now, somebody, here's my
theory on this. If somebody met the reserve price for
(08:14):
Max Crosby.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Then he wouldn't be in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
And I just checked before we cracked the microphones and
he's still He's still with the Raiders, so he.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Hadn't been traded.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
There's no report of a trade happening, so that would
mean that that report was wishful thinking.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
And they did use the weasel word.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Remember this is the time of the year Pop goes
to weasel You got to pay attention to the weasel words.
And so when you use words like potentially a right,
potentially great weasel word, really solid weasel word, potentially.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, it's just outstanding. So throw it all together.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And it hadn't happened in the trade of Max Crosby, Say, Jerry,
is it possible Is there a world, a dimension in
the multiverse where Jerry Owns leaked this out? And the Cowboys.
They stay in the headlines. And then it's the art
of negotiation via trickeration, the old negotiation trickeration, smoke mirrors
(09:13):
and a couple of planted stories to useful idiots in
the media, and the message to Crosby. It's like a
dog whistle to Crosby. And I'll say, hey, listen, if
you want to play in Dallas, which is the Raiders
with a different logo on the helmet, then start raising
a ruckus in Vegas. You got to create chaos, a
(09:36):
hulla baloo if you want that. Now, keeping the theme
going page two here, as we continue all night on
the Ben Maler Show, so we are told the Cowboys
are expected to shift their focus to instead of continuing
to try to get Max Crosby to acquire when the
new league year begins, free agent Trey Hendrickson of the
(10:02):
well he was with the Ben Gals. So let's pretend
for the purposes of this Malar monologue that that's not
some kind of squeeze play and that this is actually
the real deal.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And that's true. So the question.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
If Dallas is pivoting to Trey Hendrickson over Max Crosby,
how big a downgrade.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Would that be for the Cowboys side by side?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
So if you go side by side, if the Cowboys
do pivot from Max Crosby to Trey Hendrickson, I'm gonna
use a sandwich analogy, the hogi analogy here. It's similar,
but not the same. For example, Max Crosby, if you
were to look not a list, but a big board,
(10:48):
Benny's big board of sandwiches, a properly made cheese steak.
As the godfather of Fox Sports Radio, the great Tony Bruno,
taught me years ago, you gotta have the proll alone,
not the cheese whiz on that, the right kind of bread,
the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Throw that together.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That's a perfect sandwich, the cheese steak sandwich with the onion,
the peppers and all that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That's the way to do it. Now.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Hendrickson, he's a sandwich. However, he's like a spicy chicken
sandwich that's been sitting out under a heating lamp at
a seven to eleven for the last twenty two hours.
Not quite the same, not quite the same, a sandwich,
but not quite the same. Now, both these guys get sacks. However,
when the run game comes towards Hendrickson, he undergoes a metamorphosis.
(11:36):
He travels through time to Madrid, Spain. He becomes a bullfighter,
a matador olay olay olay oley and running backs. They
just go who right by him? Now, Crosby. When you
look at his body of work here, he's a Swiss
army knife and he's able to play the run, and
(12:00):
he wants to play all the time, and all that
has been durable. And he's also a little bit younger
and in that business, obviously, that's a big deal. The
kind of a guy that is the centerpiece. Not that
Hendrickson wouldn't be the centerpiece of the cowboys have a
bunch of no names and bums on defense, flotsam and jetsam.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But he's more.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Instead of a Swiss army knife that has a little
bit of everything, he's more like a switchblade.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I doesn't have the other attachments, just a switchblade. That's it.
That's all he's got. So Jerry is being a it
would appear again.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
How much of this is true and how much of
this is for public consumption? As Jerry likes to say,
when things get boring around here, I.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Like to stir it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
So it looks from the outside that Jerry is being
a frugal shopper, that he's being a frugal shopper, and
budget's tight, and it's true that those mega yachts and
Jerry's got a really nice yacht last we heard, and
you need to have a bunch of people on staff
(13:00):
for that. If you want to enjoy the South of France,
you got to have the internet on there.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You gotta have the.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Greatest chefs and the cleaning people and servants and all
that on those mega yachts.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
And so if you spend a little more on Max Crosby.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Do you then have to get rid of your butler,
your second or third butler.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
On the yacht. That's a tough decision.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I think we can all understand and relate to the
dilemma that Jerry would have. All right, now, last word
to the belt Way, we go a player that we
have talked about way too much. I was saying about
this when I was coming in to the studio, was like,
we have talked about this guy way too much, considering
how few impact moments he's had in his career. Now
who am I talking about? That would be Brandon Auk,
(13:45):
the wide receiver who I guess is technically part of
the forty nine Ers. I guess the new league year
starts next week. So there is some chatter, and we
love our chatter, that the Commanders could sign Brandon Auck
to a one year proven deal, a one year prove
it deal if the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
End up doing they release.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Them, which I assume we all assume that's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It seems like.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
That's obviously the Niners have pretty much said they're gonna
get rid of him, whether they trade them.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Or release them.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
More likely you would just release them, because why would
you trade for a player who's going to be released anyway?
So the question on this one what stands out, if anything,
what stands out to you about Washington, the team formerly
known as the Redskins looking to add wide receiver Brandon
Iyuk on a prove it contract.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
So the first thing is rather clear. I think everyone
you can. You know, the.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Person in the back of the room over, the person
in the way in the back of the warehouse is
not even listening.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
They know.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
The NFL motto is never give up on talent, even
when the talent, like in this ca This is clearly
given up on their own frontal lobe. You just don't
give up on the talent, you don't, you know. And
there's a wide receiver right now in jail who killed
a young woman and her dog. They burned up alive
because of him, and he's gonna get out of jail
(15:13):
relatively soon, and someone's gonna give him a tryout. That's
how the NFL operates. That's how they do things there. Obviously,
this is not that this is much much different. But
Brandon auc has a large yellow sticker that has been
slapped on his back and it.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Reads buyer, Beware, buyer, Beware.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
A dynamic separation merchant, an artist of separation who has
also managed to separate himself from his teammates. His coach
is not his own ego, though he cannot separate himself.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
From his own ego.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
And after that Frisco fiasco where he cost himself a
cool twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Million, you realize in the annals of the.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
NFL there are only a handful of people in the
history of the NFL that have blown twenty seven million
dollars of their money guaranteed loot. There's a guy in
jail that was going around robbing banks to go to
Chiefs games and to gamble. And that guy didn't get
twenty seven million when he was robbing banks. This guy
(16:17):
gave up twenty seven million, the steepest exit tax to
leave California yet and so in NFL history, and he's
now looking to have what make it prove it deals,
that's what he's got.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Which even that, you're like, why does he even have that?
What is he out to prove?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
He's out to prove what that He's not some kind
of high speed social media addicted powder keg.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And that's what is it?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
If the commanders and then the commanders are in this
weird spot. They came out of know where, they had
sucked for years, They came out of nowhere. It got
to the Final four and then got smoked in the
final four, had that magic playoff run. Jayden Daniels looks
like he's gonna snap at any moment.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
He snapped last year.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
And the commanders are terrible, And so if they pull
the trigger on this, they can enjoy a nice lunch
menu that includes their own sandwich, the knuckle Sandwich from
the Knucklehead in Chief, and look forward to the two
receiver set in Washington. On one side, you'll have scary
(17:23):
Terry McLaren. On the other side, you'll have scary immaturity
AYUK and good luck, good Luck and Washington supposedly realizing
that even if they got this guy, they still have
to go get somebody else at the White opposition.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
And so the reason you would have to do.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
That is because whoever adds the soon to be former
forty nine.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Er Brandon Iock knows that they are one or he
is one.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Bad tick talk post away from a self inflicted trip
back to the.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Doghouse and good luck.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Now in DC, they'll learn the only thing more toxic,
the only more toxic in DC than politics, is a
white out who sends communication via a cryptic emoji or
a bunch of cryptic emojis and cannot stop cold turkey,
cannot do it, addicted, addicted, and is so addicted to
(18:21):
it that he's willing to give up twenty seven million
dollars at some point if he's lucky, Brandon and I
could be an old man and they'll be sitting on
a rocking chair somewhere and talking about his life and
he'll say, you.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Know, maybe I shouldn't have Maybe I shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Maybe I just you know, I you know, I could
have been could have had a little more money there,
leave the kids, grandkids, great grandkids, whatever.

what happens to all of us if we're lucky enough
to live a long time.
Speaker 1 (23:55):

Famous breakthrough moment when he became a celebrity car a
celebrity caller.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Right there, it was late night.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Drug Tester writes in from Parts Unknown, He says Max
Crosby going to the Cowboys is like having your lady
ask you if she looks fat to no win situation.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Don't you?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
The Cowboys are the Raiders with just a different logo
and a little more popularity, and it just a similar,
very similar Ferg Dog writes in from that Winter Wonderland
of Fullers and how much snow did you guys get?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
In that Blizzard for dog.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
He says, I'm still in complete shock that Max Crosby
is going to be traded any minute now.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Danny G and.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
The rest of Raider Nation assured me that Max will
be a Raider for life. If you can't trust Raider Nation,
you can't trust anybody. You're trying to annoy, Perito. I
know what you're trying to do. And Danny G and
Max Crosby was the guy that you hung.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Your hat on with the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Born to be a Raider and born to leave the Raiders. Also, Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Super.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Marcus Steve writes, and he says, are we sure that
Brandon I just refuse to play for the San Francisco
forty nine ers because he was tired of the living
in San Francisco with all the homeless and the drug
addicts or not? He wrote, Nor, I think he meant not. Yeah,
there's an R and a T near each other on
(25:29):
the keyboard, So.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
I think the drug addicts were very friendly and welcoming
while we were in Frisco.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yes, and I if you need any kind of fentanyl,
that's the spot right there.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I'm sure they would have loved to share.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
And the cool thing when you walk the streets of
downtown San Francisco, it's it's like an obstacle course, you know,
do you step over the guy who's taking a nap.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Because he had too much too many drugs, or do
you walk around them? It's you have to decide that
when you're walking, like, I don't know. I do like that.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
They pushed everyone over a couple of blocks when the
super Bowl was there, so then people that were shuttled
in on limousines like Pat McAfee were.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Like, oh, I don't understand what everyone's talking.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
About Live the Overnight Radio Life Buddy, walk a few
blocks over.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It's an eye opening experience.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Michael writes in says, hey, Ben always a plus on
the monologue. But it doesn't matter what you say, Tom
in Texas will always hate you. How dare you talk
about the Cowboys football or anything related to sports. I'd
like to hear blind Scott have a fight with that. Yeah,
(26:37):
he says, yeah, all right, well there you go. Anyway,
Let's see here. Now we do have someone that would
like to do an octagon on the on the show.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Let me see here, let me go to him. Is
he online right now? Is that? Is that I think, so, okay, no,
he is.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Uh, let's go to Lucky Tony, who is throwing down
the gauntlet. Is this correct, Lucky Tony? Are you throwing
down the gauntlet here, Tony?
Speaker 9 (27:05):
Well, if the guys online. If not, I'm just trying
to entertain the masses, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
All right? All right, all right, so here's he's always okay,
all right, well he is online. So this is gonna
be a we didn't plan this, We didn't plan this. Well,
Lucky Tony, you're you'd like to get into the octagon
with blind Scott?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Is that correct? Yes, you're nodding your head, yes, over there. Okay.
So the verbal Octagon, if you're new to the show,
is three.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Rounds of verbal sparring and they go back and forth. Now,
the problem I have with this is Lucky Tony can't
go more than ten seconds without cursing, and if you curse,
you lose points, and if you curse twice you're disqualified,
you lose.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
So I'm a concern about that. But if everyone wants
does anyone say no to this octagon? Does anyone say no?
Any objections?
Speaker 10 (27:54):
I mean, I don't think it'll last very long.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
But okay, all right.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
Well listen ready on the jump button.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Uh, And the issue here, Lucky Tony is you do
not like blind Scott.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Is that correct? You have an issue with blind Scott?
Would that be accurate?
Speaker 9 (28:11):
Said man? I'm just I'm just here to punch.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Okay, all right, I got you. Hold on and put
him on.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Let's see if Scott's blind Scott, are you accepting or
declining the challenge of Lucky Tony in New yor call give.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Me a couple of seconds, or this is good radio.
This guy's a piece of crap. He swears he eats
my radio. Time out, Tony, I gotta tell you something.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
But no, no, no, we haven't started, Scott.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
We have not started yet. We have not started yet. Okay,
all right, all right, let's uh why don't we here.
Here's the way we're gonna do this on the fly.
You listen to our live coverage. We're gonna workshop this.
We're gonna do this right now in real time. So
we've got Lucky Tony. I normally do this big introduction.
We're not gonna do the big introduction because this just
popped up.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
On my radar. So we'll just announce the verbal octagon, which.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
If you're you've never heard, it's three rounds of just
insults and you gotta keep it clean and all that,
which is always an issue here. We do these semi regularly,
although we've gone a long time at times without out
doing them. There's three rounds, so the opening round the
way this is gonna work. The opening round is only
(29:19):
ten seconds, which seems like no amount of time, but
trust me, it's often too long. And then we'll go
back and forth. Round two is twenty seconds. Round three
is the bloody knuckles yapping, and we're gonna limit that
to twenty five seconds if we even make it to
round three.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
So, gentlemen, we're gonna do this right now. Do we
have a bell here?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Do we have the boxing bell ready to signal the
start of this battle?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Royalty boxing bell?
Speaker 11 (29:47):
Are gone?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Wow? I know this is the boxing bell. This is
boxing range, this is verbal boxing. It is the sweet science.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
And we will go to the judges court card you'll
be able to vote on this. We'll have the vote
of the people, the vote of the people on X.
So again, three rounds, gentlemen, I've just given you your
instructions in this talk o rama again.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
We must have a clean fight.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
If we have to dump you, and we have to
do it multiple times, you will immediately be disqualified. We
will stop about and the other person will be declared
the winner. And that's just the way it goes. We
know what you can and can't say. Gentlemen, good luck,
protect yourself at all times. We're gonna put ten seconds
on the clock. Round one verbal octagon. We start out
(30:34):
with Lucky. This is Blind Scott versus Lucky Tony. Lucky

Speaker 6 (35:05):
Is what it is.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
So my birth name is Denniston. I am known by
my nickname. I am one of the more well known
NFL players. My pregame ritual involves Mountain dew and Chicken Alfredo.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Before most games.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
And most of my career, I have been on bad
football teams. In fact, I just recently had my first
winning season in my eleven year career. That goes all
the way back to college, where my teams have almost
always been bad.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Who am I? Who am I?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
If you know the answer on X at Ben Maller,
we'll get to the judges' scorecards, We'll have the vote

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Back to it.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
All.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Right, back to where we go.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Let's get to the judges score cards we just had
and we'll pay off the who am I game in
a minute, I promise, But we go to the judges
scorecards here as the octagon took place with blind Scott
and Lucky Tony. And you can vote on this if
you would like, on the X machine at Ben Mallard page.
There there is a survey poll up whateveryone call it
(37:15):
and you can vote on who you thought won that,
and we'll go to the judges' scorecards.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
I will go first.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
I thought round one. I gave Round one to Tony.
I thought he obviously knew what he wanted to do.
Scott was pretty much blindsided on this. I thought Round
one Tony was prepared, he had some material. They were
obviously scripted lines. I thought they were pretty good personal
assault lines. Scott seemed a little flustered.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
In round one, as you would expect.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
I think he repeated some of the material that if
I wrote down my notes right, I think it was
round one he repeated some of the lines there from Tony.
Round two that is where Scott really showed that he
is a maestro in the octagon. It was a personal assault,
It was vicious, It was below the belt. It was
(38:10):
just Scott throwing haymakers and mollywop. It just mollywopped Tony.
Tony was staggered. Tony was staggered on my scorecard. So
round one I gave to Tony ten nine. Round two
I gave to Scott ten nine. I thought Scott really
(38:31):
nailed it and didn't prepare and they just went below
the belt and nasty and all that stuff. Now round three,
so going in a round three it was dead even
and then one of the greatest rounds in verbal octagon
history that will never ever be matched if somebody can
try to.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Do it again, but it will never reach the same level.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Where lucky Tony decided that he would just not allow
scott voice to be heard by saying I believe he
said Jigawatt over he was singing.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Like the word yes, and initially I was worried. I
didn't know what that meant.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I thought, well, maybe that's something we shouldn't have on
the ringo, according to the Internet, is from Back to
the Future, part two, so I didn't. I don't remember
back to I remember Back to the Future the originally
I saw it back to the Future too, but I
don't remember. So anyway, I thought that was a ten
eight round. So I give the wind to a lucky Tony.
What about you, Lorraina, how did you see the fight?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Quickly?
Speaker 8 (39:30):
Well, you know, I'm not as good as you at
uh grading this, but that's fine.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
That's fine.
Speaker 8 (39:34):
Lucky Tony. I could tell he was premeditated. He was
sitting there all day, like, what am I going to
say in this verbal octagon that I am pre planning?
He did great.
Speaker 11 (39:42):
I loved it.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
I thought he was you know, so you give the
wind to Tony well kind of kindness?
Speaker 11 (39:49):
Yes, all right?
Speaker 8 (39:50):
That was technically technically asked Tony one for me.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Okay, Coop, how did you see the fight here? Cooper?
I feel like you looked at my notes.
Speaker 10 (39:57):
It was almost exactly what I was going to to say.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (40:01):
Tony was obviously the one that called for this fight,
so he was ready in the first round. Scott wasn't.
But then, like you said, I thought, second round, Scott,
you know, came through and did what Scott does.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Killed it. He killed it, he did.
Speaker 10 (40:13):
But then the last round I couldn't hear Scott. I
could only hear Tony. So we got to give it
to Tony.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
All right, So we have given the vote to lucky Tony.
If you would like to vote the vote of the people.
A lot of people love Tony singing Oho Texho says,
I got to give the edge to Lucky Tony for
successfully drowning Scott's voice with the he said the jigabt
chan or whatever it was. JJ from Wrentt and says,
oh my goodness, Ben, we need to do this segment
more often. You should have seen how my co workers
(40:40):
were looking at me laughing so loudly, and just Josh says, hey, hey, ho,
jiggle what.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (40:49):
It was.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Great.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
It was once I got past the thought that maybe
we had screwed this up. But anyway, all right, so
you can vote. You can vote real quick to who
am I game? My birth name is Denniston. I'm known
for by my nickname. I played in the NFL for
a number of years. My pregame ritual involves Mountain dew
and Chicken Alfredo to get fired up for games. I
have mostly been on bad teams. I just had my
(41:13):
first winning football season in my eleven year career, going
back to college in twenty twenty five? Who am I,
mister y I was going with Caesar Sadaniels. His answer,
King Roy says, our old colleague Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
His answer? Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Alan Greenspan, who's one hundred today in no way really
still alive from late night drug tests?
Speaker 1 (41:38):
A good friend? Dennis the Menace from Michael? Who else
do we have?
Speaker 2 (41:42):
A Paige down Benny Hannah from alf Boy? You're really
enjoying that Ai photoshop, aren't you?
Speaker 1 (41:48):
Alf I didn't show my wife the photo with the Pope.
She liked that. Norm Peterson from Rob the Goat On
all right? Who else Paige down here?
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Dumb and dumber like the Octagon from Scrooge and the
Bay Area Red Sox Enjoyous said the city of Boston
doesn't recognize blind Scott as a citizen.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
What say you, Lorena.
Speaker 8 (42:06):
I'm gonna go with Mike Harmon, who just walked back
in the studio.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
I love Harmon. No, the correct answer is d J. Moore.
His real name is Gaston d J.

we'll hear he's had very interesting career in broadcasting. And
I met him in a press box. He came up
to me and said, hey, I listened to the show,

Speaker 2 (01:36):
If Dallas is pivoting to edge Trey Hendrickson over Max Crosby,
how big a downgrade would that be for the Cowboys?
And what stands out to you about the Washington football
team looking to add wide receiver Brandon ayuc On a

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Temple of Sports Talk.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
As we are side by side the world famous Fox
Sports Radio Studios. Now Sean g who's an epic clipper guy,
Big Clipper. He did a documentary about Benoit Benjamin. It's

Speaker 1 (03:41):
And hopefully you're doing all right.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
We are back at it here all night, every night, podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Every weekend, and we jump in with both feet.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And then later on we'll do a belly whopper as
we do have Mallard to the third degree.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Later who am I game? Way down the line, we'll.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Have Sports Jeopardy and the comedy club will open up.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's basically bashing our friend weed man hippie in Miami.
But it'll be lame jokes of the week that'll be
coming up in our number three. But opportunity knocks.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
There you go. It's a preview. There's a preview of.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Lame jokes, all right, So our lead to begin, We're
gonna start with the grapevine. It is the silly season,
and when it is the silly season, you must go
on a rampage and enjoy every little nugget that comes out.
So we start out deep in the heart of Texas.
The plot thickens in Jerry's world. Have you heard the
(04:37):
latest on this? Have you been following? No, you're okay?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Good? Good for you? Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
So we learned now that the Cowboys thought they assumed,
you know what happens when you assume they were close
to acquiring Raiders edge rusher Max Crosby. That's Max with
two xes, not three xes. Max Crosby via a trade
this week. However, apparently that did not happen because he's
(05:05):
Crosby's nd been traded and the other teams have been
sniffing around trying to get in there. And so now
the offers that the Raiders have are supposedly greater than
the Cowboys offer, and I love that. The report said
that the offers for Crosby are potentially potentially.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Up to two first round draft picks.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So the Cowboys, again this is the scuttle butt, have
tapped out. They've tossed in the sponge here and pivoted
to free agent defensive end or soon to be free
agent defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who the Bengals decided.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
They didn't want to pay anymore and so they got
rid of him. Get out of here, you're done. We
can have the NFL's worst defense without you. We don't
need you.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
So that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss.
There's a lot to this. So the question the reporting
the Cowboys are bowing out of the Max Crosby sweepsteaks.
What's that storyline?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Tell you? So my thoughts on this. I've got QBC.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Madrid and large yellow sticker, and we will combine all
of these things together and we're going to pull the
pin on an audio.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Grenade, is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, I know, I know, all right, So A I
like to use the time tested Mallard Schnaz test and
do the old smell test.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
So I'm gonna do that right now.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, so smells like Jerry Jones is doing what Jerry
Jones does best. He wins the off season. You can
rip them all you want, you can say that what
he does is a throwback to medieval times, but he
wins the all off season, the marketing circus under the
big top fund for all ages, Come one, come a
(07:06):
Jerry's great at it. Not just an owner, He's a
marketing maven, an absolute marketing maven. The Guide treats the
NFL like QVC. Everything is a promotion, Everything is a
teaser trailer. Jerry leaks out, Dallas is out, the Sharks
starts circling. The debate shows start going on and on
(07:28):
about the cowboys. Of course, Jerry don't have to say
anything for the debate shows to talk about the cowboys.
Everyone gets all worked into a lather, all worked into
a ladder, and suddenly the cowboys are the lead story
yet again. And Max Crosby right now is sitting on
a folding chair somewhere out there, maybe a table, I think,
maybe a chair, sitting on a chair there, And the
(07:51):
flea market is open for business. And then the Raiders
are walking around and Tom Brady's got his skinny pants on.
You get the megaphone out there, who wants an all
pro pass rusher? Come on down, Come on down right now?
Do I hear two first round picks? How about two
first rounds? The second round pick? Now, somebody, here's my
theory on this. If somebody met the reserve price for
(08:14):
Max Crosby.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Then he wouldn't be in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
And I just checked before we cracked the microphones and
he's still He's still with the Raiders, so he.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Hadn't been traded.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
There's no report of a trade happening, so that would
mean that that report was wishful thinking.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
And they did use the weasel word.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Remember this is the time of the year Pop goes
to weasel You got to pay attention to the weasel words.
And so when you use words like potentially a right,
potentially great weasel word, really solid weasel word, potentially.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, it's just outstanding. So throw it all together.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And it hadn't happened in the trade of Max Crosby, Say, Jerry,
is it possible Is there a world, a dimension in
the multiverse where Jerry Owns leaked this out? And the Cowboys.
They stay in the headlines. And then it's the art
of negotiation via trickeration, the old negotiation trickeration, smoke mirrors
(09:13):
and a couple of planted stories to useful idiots in
the media, and the message to Crosby. It's like a
dog whistle to Crosby. And I'll say, hey, listen, if
you want to play in Dallas, which is the Raiders
with a different logo on the helmet, then start raising
a ruckus in Vegas. You got to create chaos, a
(09:36):
hulla baloo if you want that. Now, keeping the theme
going page two here, as we continue all night on
the Ben Maler Show, so we are told the Cowboys
are expected to shift their focus to instead of continuing
to try to get Max Crosby to acquire when the
new league year begins, free agent Trey Hendrickson of the
(10:02):
well he was with the Ben Gals. So let's pretend
for the purposes of this Malar monologue that that's not
some kind of squeeze play and that this is actually
the real deal.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And that's true. So the question.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
If Dallas is pivoting to Trey Hendrickson over Max Crosby,
how big a downgrade.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Would that be for the Cowboys side by side?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
So if you go side by side, if the Cowboys
do pivot from Max Crosby to Trey Hendrickson, I'm gonna
use a sandwich analogy, the hogi analogy here. It's similar,
but not the same. For example, Max Crosby, if you
were to look not a list, but a big board,
(10:48):
Benny's big board of sandwiches, a properly made cheese steak.
As the godfather of Fox Sports Radio, the great Tony Bruno,
taught me years ago, you gotta have the proll alone,
not the cheese whiz on that, the right kind of bread,
the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Throw that together.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That's a perfect sandwich, the cheese steak sandwich with the onion,
the peppers and all that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That's the way to do it. Now.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Hendrickson, he's a sandwich. However, he's like a spicy chicken
sandwich that's been sitting out under a heating lamp at
a seven to eleven for the last twenty two hours.
Not quite the same, not quite the same, a sandwich,
but not quite the same. Now, both these guys get sacks. However,
when the run game comes towards Hendrickson, he undergoes a metamorphosis.
(11:36):
He travels through time to Madrid, Spain. He becomes a bullfighter,
a matador olay olay olay oley and running backs. They
just go who right by him? Now, Crosby. When you
look at his body of work here, he's a Swiss
army knife and he's able to play the run, and
(12:00):
he wants to play all the time, and all that
has been durable. And he's also a little bit younger
and in that business, obviously, that's a big deal. The
kind of a guy that is the centerpiece. Not that
Hendrickson wouldn't be the centerpiece of the cowboys have a
bunch of no names and bums on defense, flotsam and jetsam.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But he's more.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Instead of a Swiss army knife that has a little
bit of everything, he's more like a switchblade.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I doesn't have the other attachments, just a switchblade. That's it.
That's all he's got. So Jerry is being a it
would appear again.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
How much of this is true and how much of
this is for public consumption? As Jerry likes to say,
when things get boring around here, I.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Like to stir it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
So it looks from the outside that Jerry is being
a frugal shopper, that he's being a frugal shopper, and
budget's tight, and it's true that those mega yachts and
Jerry's got a really nice yacht last we heard, and
you need to have a bunch of people on staff
(13:00):
for that. If you want to enjoy the South of France,
you got to have the internet on there.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You gotta have the.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Greatest chefs and the cleaning people and servants and all
that on those mega yachts.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
And so if you spend a little more on Max Crosby.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Do you then have to get rid of your butler,
your second or third butler.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
On the yacht. That's a tough decision.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I think we can all understand and relate to the
dilemma that Jerry would have. All right, now, last word
to the belt Way, we go a player that we
have talked about way too much. I was saying about
this when I was coming in to the studio, was like,
we have talked about this guy way too much, considering
how few impact moments he's had in his career. Now
who am I talking about? That would be Brandon Auk,
(13:45):
the wide receiver who I guess is technically part of
the forty nine Ers. I guess the new league year
starts next week. So there is some chatter, and we
love our chatter, that the Commanders could sign Brandon Auck
to a one year proven deal, a one year prove
it deal if the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
End up doing they release.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Them, which I assume we all assume that's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It seems like.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
That's obviously the Niners have pretty much said they're gonna
get rid of him, whether they trade them.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Or release them.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
More likely you would just release them, because why would
you trade for a player who's going to be released anyway?
So the question on this one what stands out, if anything,
what stands out to you about Washington, the team formerly
known as the Redskins looking to add wide receiver Brandon
Iyuk on a prove it contract.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
So the first thing is rather clear. I think everyone
you can. You know, the.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Person in the back of the room over, the person
in the way in the back of the warehouse is
not even listening.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
They know.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
The NFL motto is never give up on talent, even
when the talent, like in this ca This is clearly
given up on their own frontal lobe. You just don't
give up on the talent, you don't, you know. And
there's a wide receiver right now in jail who killed
a young woman and her dog. They burned up alive
because of him, and he's gonna get out of jail
(15:13):
relatively soon, and someone's gonna give him a tryout. That's
how the NFL operates. That's how they do things there. Obviously,
this is not that this is much much different. But
Brandon auc has a large yellow sticker that has been
slapped on his back and it.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Reads buyer, Beware, buyer, Beware.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
A dynamic separation merchant, an artist of separation who has
also managed to separate himself from his teammates. His coach
is not his own ego, though he cannot separate himself.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
From his own ego.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
And after that Frisco fiasco where he cost himself a
cool twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Million, you realize in the annals of the.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
NFL there are only a handful of people in the
history of the NFL that have blown twenty seven million
dollars of their money guaranteed loot. There's a guy in
jail that was going around robbing banks to go to
Chiefs games and to gamble. And that guy didn't get
twenty seven million when he was robbing banks. This guy
(16:17):
gave up twenty seven million, the steepest exit tax to
leave California yet and so in NFL history, and he's
now looking to have what make it prove it deals,
that's what he's got.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Which even that, you're like, why does he even have that?
What is he out to prove?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
He's out to prove what that He's not some kind
of high speed social media addicted powder keg.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And that's what is it?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
If the commanders and then the commanders are in this
weird spot. They came out of know where, they had
sucked for years, They came out of nowhere. It got
to the Final four and then got smoked in the
final four, had that magic playoff run. Jayden Daniels looks
like he's gonna snap at any moment.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
He snapped last year.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
And the commanders are terrible, And so if they pull
the trigger on this, they can enjoy a nice lunch
menu that includes their own sandwich, the knuckle Sandwich from
the Knucklehead in Chief, and look forward to the two
receiver set in Washington. On one side, you'll have scary
(17:23):
Terry McLaren. On the other side, you'll have scary immaturity
AYUK and good luck, good Luck and Washington supposedly realizing
that even if they got this guy, they still have
to go get somebody else at the White opposition.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
And so the reason you would have to do.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
That is because whoever adds the soon to be former
forty nine.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Er Brandon Iock knows that they are one or he
is one.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Bad tick talk post away from a self inflicted trip
back to the.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Doghouse and good luck.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Now in DC, they'll learn the only thing more toxic,
the only more toxic in DC than politics, is a
white out who sends communication via a cryptic emoji or
a bunch of cryptic emojis and cannot stop cold turkey,
cannot do it, addicted, addicted, and is so addicted to
(18:21):
it that he's willing to give up twenty seven million
dollars at some point if he's lucky, Brandon and I
could be an old man and they'll be sitting on
a rocking chair somewhere and talking about his life and
he'll say, you.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Know, maybe I shouldn't have Maybe I shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Maybe I just you know, I you know, I could
have been could have had a little more money there,
leave the kids, grandkids, great grandkids, whatever.

So much and he didn't really know how social media worked,
and so he went on This.

Was back what it was called Twitter.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
It was fun when Bill was a star caller. I
always had some issues and stuff going on and all that.
It happens you get older, stuff starts breaking, and that's
what happens to all of us if we're lucky enough
to live a long time.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
But yeah, Angry Bill, when he was a total lunatic
was a lot of fun. What about a nine year
old girl? That was his.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Famous breakthrough moment when he became a celebrity car a
celebrity caller.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Right there, it was late night.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Drug Tester writes in from Parts Unknown, He says Max
Crosby going to the Cowboys is like having your lady
ask you if she looks fat to no win situation.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Don't you?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
The Cowboys are the Raiders with just a different logo
and a little more popularity, and it just a similar,
very similar Ferg Dog writes in from that Winter Wonderland
of Fullers and how much snow did you guys get?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
In that Blizzard for dog.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
He says, I'm still in complete shock that Max Crosby
is going to be traded any minute now.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Danny G and.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
The rest of Raider Nation assured me that Max will
be a Raider for life. If you can't trust Raider Nation,
you can't trust anybody. You're trying to annoy, Perito. I
know what you're trying to do. And Danny G and
Max Crosby was the guy that you hung.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Your hat on with the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Born to be a Raider and born to leave the Raiders. Also, Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Super.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Marcus Steve writes, and he says, are we sure that
Brandon I just refuse to play for the San Francisco
forty nine ers because he was tired of the living
in San Francisco with all the homeless and the drug
addicts or not? He wrote, Nor, I think he meant not. Yeah,
there's an R and a T near each other on
(25:29):
the keyboard, So.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
I think the drug addicts were very friendly and welcoming
while we were in Frisco.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yes, and I if you need any kind of fentanyl,
that's the spot right there.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I'm sure they would have loved to share.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
And the cool thing when you walk the streets of
downtown San Francisco, it's it's like an obstacle course, you know,
do you step over the guy who's taking a nap.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Because he had too much too many drugs, or do
you walk around them? It's you have to decide that
when you're walking, like, I don't know. I do like that.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
They pushed everyone over a couple of blocks when the
super Bowl was there, so then people that were shuttled
in on limousines like Pat McAfee were.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Like, oh, I don't understand what everyone's talking.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
About Live the Overnight Radio Life Buddy, walk a few
blocks over.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It's an eye opening experience.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Michael writes in says, hey, Ben always a plus on
the monologue. But it doesn't matter what you say, Tom
in Texas will always hate you. How dare you talk
about the Cowboys football or anything related to sports. I'd
like to hear blind Scott have a fight with that. Yeah,
(26:37):
he says, yeah, all right, well there you go. Anyway,
Let's see here. Now we do have someone that would
like to do an octagon on the on the show.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Let me see here, let me go to him. Is
he online right now? Is that? Is that I think, so, okay, no,
he is.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Uh, let's go to Lucky Tony, who is throwing down
the gauntlet. Is this correct, Lucky Tony? Are you throwing
down the gauntlet here, Tony?
Speaker 9 (27:05):
Well, if the guys online. If not, I'm just trying
to entertain the masses, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
All right? All right, all right, so here's he's always okay,
all right, well he is online. So this is gonna
be a we didn't plan this, We didn't plan this. Well,
Lucky Tony, you're you'd like to get into the octagon
with blind Scott?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Is that correct? Yes, you're nodding your head, yes, over there. Okay.
So the verbal Octagon, if you're new to the show,
is three.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Rounds of verbal sparring and they go back and forth. Now,
the problem I have with this is Lucky Tony can't
go more than ten seconds without cursing, and if you curse,
you lose points, and if you curse twice you're disqualified,
you lose.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
So I'm a concern about that. But if everyone wants
does anyone say no to this octagon? Does anyone say no?
Any objections?
Speaker 10 (27:54):
I mean, I don't think it'll last very long.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
But okay, all right.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
Well listen ready on the jump button.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Uh, And the issue here, Lucky Tony is you do
not like blind Scott.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Is that correct? You have an issue with blind Scott?
Would that be accurate?
Speaker 9 (28:11):
Said man? I'm just I'm just here to punch.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Okay, all right, I got you. Hold on and put
him on.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Let's see if Scott's blind Scott, are you accepting or
declining the challenge of Lucky Tony in New yor call give.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Me a couple of seconds, or this is good radio.
This guy's a piece of crap. He swears he eats
my radio. Time out, Tony, I gotta tell you something.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
But no, no, no, we haven't started, Scott.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
We have not started yet. We have not started yet. Okay,
all right, all right, let's uh why don't we here.
Here's the way we're gonna do this on the fly.
You listen to our live coverage. We're gonna workshop this.
We're gonna do this right now in real time. So
we've got Lucky Tony. I normally do this big introduction.
We're not gonna do the big introduction because this just
popped up.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
On my radar. So we'll just announce the verbal octagon, which.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
If you're you've never heard, it's three rounds of just
insults and you gotta keep it clean and all that,
which is always an issue here. We do these semi regularly,
although we've gone a long time at times without out
doing them. There's three rounds, so the opening round the
way this is gonna work. The opening round is only
(29:19):
ten seconds, which seems like no amount of time, but
trust me, it's often too long. And then we'll go
back and forth. Round two is twenty seconds. Round three
is the bloody knuckles yapping, and we're gonna limit that
to twenty five seconds if we even make it to
round three.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
So, gentlemen, we're gonna do this right now. Do we
have a bell here?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Do we have the boxing bell ready to signal the
start of this battle?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Royalty boxing bell?
Speaker 11 (29:47):
Are gone?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Wow? I know this is the boxing bell. This is
boxing range, this is verbal boxing. It is the sweet science.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
And we will go to the judges court card you'll
be able to vote on this. We'll have the vote
of the people, the vote of the people on X.
So again, three rounds, gentlemen, I've just given you your
instructions in this talk o rama again.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
We must have a clean fight.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
If we have to dump you, and we have to
do it multiple times, you will immediately be disqualified. We
will stop about and the other person will be declared
the winner. And that's just the way it goes. We
know what you can and can't say. Gentlemen, good luck,
protect yourself at all times. We're gonna put ten seconds
on the clock. Round one verbal octagon. We start out
(30:34):
with Lucky. This is Blind Scott versus Lucky Tony. Lucky
Tony in the Bay Area, ten seconds on the verbal octagon.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
You're on go in one year.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
The repricon is the number one Boston caller and the
number one Boston sports fan. You're just a he'll billy
redneck annyways tump.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
All right, that was round one.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Now we go to blind Scott for ten seconds of rebuttal.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Blind Scott from the North end of Boston. Go, Blind Scott,
Go Tony.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
You're a pizza crap. I'm gonna make you viral on
Howard Turns you pizza crap, You bretneck bluser. You're a marine.
Thanks for serving, but you sucked. You're the big attack
on the radio. Ever, I hate you all right.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
All right, all right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Round one in the books, judges make sure to take
some notes on that. We head now to round two

NFL players. My pregame ritual involves Mountain dew and Chicken Alfredo.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Before most games.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
And most of my career, I have been on bad
football teams. In fact, I just recently had my first
winning season in my eleven year career. That goes all
the way back to college, where my teams have almost
always been bad.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Who am I? Who am I?

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Back to it.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
All.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Right, back to where we go.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Let's get to the judges score cards we just had
and we'll pay off the who am I game in
a minute, I promise, But we go to the judges
scorecards here as the octagon took place with blind Scott
and Lucky Tony. And you can vote on this if
you would like, on the X machine at Ben Mallard page.
There there is a survey poll up whateveryone call it
(37:15):
and you can vote on who you thought won that,
and we'll go to the judges' scorecards.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
I will go first.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
I thought round one. I gave Round one to Tony.
I thought he obviously knew what he wanted to do.
Scott was pretty much blindsided on this. I thought Round
one Tony was prepared, he had some material. They were
obviously scripted lines. I thought they were pretty good personal
assault lines. Scott seemed a little flustered.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
In round one, as you would expect.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
I think he repeated some of the material that if
I wrote down my notes right, I think it was
round one he repeated some of the lines there from Tony.
Round two that is where Scott really showed that he
is a maestro in the octagon. It was a personal assault,
It was vicious, It was below the belt. It was
(38:10):
just Scott throwing haymakers and mollywop. It just mollywopped Tony.
Tony was staggered. Tony was staggered on my scorecard. So
round one I gave to Tony ten nine. Round two
I gave to Scott ten nine. I thought Scott really
(38:31):
nailed it and didn't prepare and they just went below
the belt and nasty and all that stuff. Now round three,
so going in a round three it was dead even
and then one of the greatest rounds in verbal octagon
history that will never ever be matched if somebody can
try to.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Do it again, but it will never reach the same level.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Where lucky Tony decided that he would just not allow
scott voice to be heard by saying I believe he
said Jigawatt over he was singing.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Like the word yes, and initially I was worried. I
didn't know what that meant.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I thought, well, maybe that's something we shouldn't have on
the ringo, according to the Internet, is from Back to
the Future, part two, so I didn't. I don't remember
back to I remember Back to the Future the originally
I saw it back to the Future too, but I
don't remember. So anyway, I thought that was a ten
eight round. So I give the wind to a lucky Tony.
What about you, Lorraina, how did you see the fight?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Quickly?
Speaker 8 (39:30):
Well, you know, I'm not as good as you at
uh grading this, but that's fine.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
That's fine.
Speaker 8 (39:34):
Lucky Tony. I could tell he was premeditated. He was
sitting there all day, like, what am I going to
say in this verbal octagon that I am pre planning?
He did great.
Speaker 11 (39:42):
I loved it.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
I thought he was you know, so you give the
wind to Tony well kind of kindness?
Speaker 11 (39:49):
Yes, all right?
Speaker 8 (39:50):
That was technically technically asked Tony one for me.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Okay, Coop, how did you see the fight here? Cooper?
I feel like you looked at my notes.
Speaker 10 (39:57):
It was almost exactly what I was going to to say.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (40:01):
Tony was obviously the one that called for this fight,
so he was ready in the first round. Scott wasn't.
But then, like you said, I thought, second round, Scott,
you know, came through and did what Scott does.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Killed it. He killed it, he did.
Speaker 10 (40:13):
But then the last round I couldn't hear Scott. I
could only hear Tony. So we got to give it
to Tony.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
All right, So we have given the vote to lucky Tony.
If you would like to vote the vote of the people.
A lot of people love Tony singing Oho Texho says,
I got to give the edge to Lucky Tony for
successfully drowning Scott's voice with the he said the jigabt
chan or whatever it was. JJ from Wrentt and says,
oh my goodness, Ben, we need to do this segment
more often. You should have seen how my co workers
(40:40):
were looking at me laughing so loudly, and just Josh says, hey, hey, ho,
jiggle what.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (40:49):
It was.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Great.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
It was once I got past the thought that maybe
we had screwed this up. But anyway, all right, so
you can vote. You can vote real quick to who
am I game? My birth name is Denniston. I'm known
for by my nickname. I played in the NFL for
a number of years. My pregame ritual involves Mountain dew
and Chicken Alfredo to get fired up for games. I
have mostly been on bad teams. I just had my
(41:13):
first winning football season in my eleven year career, going
back to college in twenty twenty five? Who am I,
mister y I was going with Caesar Sadaniels. His answer,
King Roy says, our old colleague Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
His answer? Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Alan Greenspan, who's one hundred today in no way really
still alive from late night drug tests?
Speaker 1 (41:38):
A good friend? Dennis the Menace from Michael? Who else
do we have?
Speaker 2 (41:42):
A Paige down Benny Hannah from alf Boy? You're really
enjoying that Ai photoshop, aren't you?
Speaker 1 (41:48):
Alf I didn't show my wife the photo with the Pope.
She liked that. Norm Peterson from Rob the Goat On
all right? Who else Paige down here?
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Dumb and dumber like the Octagon from Scrooge and the
Bay Area Red Sox Enjoyous said the city of Boston
doesn't recognize blind Scott as a citizen.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
What say you, Lorena.
Speaker 8 (42:06):
I'm gonna go with Mike Harmon, who just walked back
in the studio.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
I love Harmon. No, the correct answer is d J. Moore.
His real name is Gaston d J.
Speaker 7 (42:15):
Moore.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
The bills now
