Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb Bar one, our one
of the podcast. Hope you had a great weekend and
a reminder if you missed any of the content we
put out over the weekend. We had three original podcasts,
including the Mailbag on Sunday and some stories that have
(00:20):
not been told before, all available, including a look at
new technology, big tech taking over NFL fields. We talked
about the new AI robot that's helping NFL teams out.
That was on the Friday podcast. You want to hear
all about that. But right now here in our number one,
we go back to the NFL, well one more time,
(00:42):
Zeke Elliott. Is he close to getting a contract in
the NFL? And should he go back to the Cowboys? Also,
how concerned should dar Raiders be with Jimmy G's training
camp interceptions? They are abundant, we are told in Vegas. Also,
what is your takeaway from Albert Haynesworth defending Dan Snyder.
(01:06):
Nobody's defending Dan Snyder other than Albert Haynesworth. We'll talk
about all of that and much more right now here.
It is our number one. Has the Zeke landed well?
Not yet? Not yet, but maybe soon Welcome in the
beginning of a brand new week of the Ben Mather Show.
(01:27):
We are in the air everywhere you listen, and we
talk talk talk talk, talk, talk, talk, talk talk, carving
pathways where find out coast, the coast, border, the border,
and beyond. On the mast and prodigiously powerful microphones of
(01:49):
fsre amminating live from the cruising as we are cruising
for a bruising we are broadcasting live from the tire
rac dot com studios. Tyre will help you get there
in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection
at over ten thousand recommended in stallers tyre rack dot com.
(02:12):
The way tire buying should be exactly all right. So
our lead this hour to begin the festivus of talk
coming from the NFL, because that's where we focus this
time of the year. I know there's been no real games,
there'll be no games for another few weeks until the
NFL regular season begins. These exhibition games are drek, is
(02:36):
what they are. But there are are some storylines that
caught my attention that have taken place here over the
last couple of days, and one of them involving a
well known free agent running back that would mean Zeke Elliott,
late of the Dallas Cowboys, was fired by the Cowboys
(02:57):
many months ago, and he's still unemployed after all this time.
So if you've not been following along with breathless second
by second, reclicking, trying to get the latest information, so
we've learned now over the weekend that there has been progress.
What kind of progress, Well, he hasn't signed a contract,
(03:19):
but Zeke Elliott later the Cowboys drawing interest from the Cowboys,
also the Patriots. We knew that, and the j e
Ts suck, Suck, suck. The Jets as well among the
teams interested. If you believe the scuttle butt, it is
Ezekiel Elliott who has been out of work, unemployed since
(03:41):
March when he was unceremoniously dumped out of Jerry's world.
He entered the transfer portal and Jerry said, bye bye,
we'll see you later. We're done. Get out here. And
the Jets they want Zeke, but they don't really want
that much. They'd rather have Dalvin Cook, but they don't
think Dalvin Cook wants them. Dalvin Cook doesn't seem all
(04:03):
they're interested, so that the Jets is like it's a
backup plan. It's a plan bit. Zeke is a Plan B.
You don't really want to be a Plan B. But
Zeke is a Plan B for the Jets. It would appear,
and the Patriots are interested, But how much are they
really interested? It like they work for pennies compared to
(04:25):
everyone else, which is the Patriot way. Why not come
on down? The cowboy angle is the most interesting, and
this is something that we've talked about in previous episodes
of the show. And even though Mike McCarthy and others
around the Cowboys not named Jerry Jones have implied that
there's not a realistic path back for Zeke to go
(04:48):
to Dallas, here we are again, so let us discuss
the question should Zeke Elliott go back to the Cowboys.
You get to go thumbs up or thumbs down on that.
So I am going thumbs down. A big, giant, oversized thumb,
a throbbing thumb pointing down is what I'm going with.
(05:09):
I've got recipe book, poet laureate, and mcmillions, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make heartburn. That's what we're gonna because the
Cowboys will have heartburn. And Zeke Elliott will have heartburn
if he goes back into that situation, like what are
(05:31):
we even having this conversation for at this particular point.
So A, it would be better for all involved, being
the malar think tank that we are here. If you
do not, if it's Zeke el, you don't go back.
You have been demoted, you have been dethroned. You don't
go back there. You know, it's Tony Pollard's team. It's Pollard,
(05:52):
he's the star back there. He's the guy, and he's
the new franchise player and Jerry's fun zone. That's who
they're going with. They did not want you, they wanted
somebody else. They have moved on here. Do not be
pathetic and go back and you look outside of Pollard
going down with some kind of injury. Outside of that, okay,
(06:16):
then you say, maybe we would revisit this, but you
don't do it. And the reason you don't do it.
The road back to the Cowboys for Zeke Elliott is
booby trapped. It is absolutely booby trapped. You take that
recipe book with all the different recipes you got from
Jerry and the different Cowboy people, you pour it in
gasoline you then light a match and you then toss
(06:41):
the match on top of the recipe book that's got
the Cowboy logo on it, and burn baby burn. Just
that's it. Make it a ritual. If you have to
just get rid of it. That's it. We're good, thank
you very much. We need nothing more. That's what should
happen here because Zeke, listen, it's all HI play with.
The reason the Cowboys don't want anymore is because he's
(07:02):
a plodding back at this point. It's why he's still
available as exhibition games get going this upcoming week here
and until proven otherwise. He's no longer a guy that's
in every down back that's gonna carry the load. And
he's not the player he was. Ever since he signed
that contract and went to kantkun I guess before he
went he signed the contract. The production has gone down, down, down, down,
(07:27):
down down down. He ran at times last year saw
the Cowboys, and who didn't see the Cowboys. They're on
National TV every weekend just about and you watch the
Cowboys play and Zeke Elliott's like, eh, yeah, So he's
running in sand on the beach and he's got concrete
shoes on the new Nike concrete shoes that he's wearing
(07:47):
as he's running around doing his thing wonderful. Just as
so he's essentially a goal line specialist. Now, regardless of that,
we have been hearing that not only is Zeke Elliott
trying to get back in the NFL, but he is
not going to come back unless he gets a certain
amount of money. Which if that's true, then Zeke might
(08:09):
as well just become a TV guy and or do
a radio show or something like that, or get a podcast,
because everyone's got a podcast, even I have a podcast,
and just work your way through it. That's it, you know,
because you're you're not gonna get top dollar. It's fair.
The market has said. Unless somebody goes down with an
injury and you happen to be a friend of a
(08:30):
coach that wants to have you, it's not going to
work out too well. It's not going to work out
too well. But you can't wait. You can wait for
the Rice Crispies Snap Crackle pop to take place. But
my advice would be to do that. That's it, and
you'll be the flavor of the week.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Meanwhile, in Vegas, we move now from free agency Land
to Lost Wages Nevada, where the Raiders head coach Josh
McDaniels attempting to brush aside what has become a a
bubbling storyline with the Raiders, and that is the performance
(09:06):
of Jimmy Garoppolo, the old forty nine er quarterback making
his way in Vegas. Garoppolo has been practicing and he
has sucked in practice. According to those that have seen
the Raiders practice and those that have heard about the
Raiders practice, Garoppolo is not only a quarterback, he has
been terrible for the Raiders. How bad he is to
(09:30):
be kind turnover prone. One report said he has thrown
seven interceptions in two practices for the Raiders. So how
were now? Josh McDaniel says he has no concerns. McDaniel's like,
everything's fine here, nothing worry about you. You got no concerns.
So the question here, with that being in the backdrop here,
(09:51):
how worried should the Raider people be with Jimmy G's
training camp interceptions? And there's a lot of them. So
on the Mallards gaiale of concern one to ten, with
ten being panic at the disco, I am at a
three A three for Garoppolo. And you know, I love
a good panic. I make my living selling panic in
(10:12):
the middle of the night. But in this case, I
don't buy the noise that, oh, this is brutal. It
reminds me of when Patrick Mahomes was with the Chiefs
before he became Patrick Mahomes the legend. He was throwing
a bunch of interceptions in practice and people were mocking
Andy Reid. I remember we talked about it on the show.
(10:33):
He were goofing on Andy Reid, like, what are.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
You doing here?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I mean this guy, you drafted this guy tenth overall,
he's throwing a lot of interceptions. Bad job by you. Well,
it seemed to be okay. And I would like to
quote the great poet laureate from Georgetown who said, we
in here talking about practice, not a game. Not a game,
We're talking about practice, the great Allen Iverson, who was
poetic in that particular rant when it comes to this
(10:57):
kind of stuff, Because I don't it blows me away
that the amount of attention the practices get. It's one
of those things that's changed in my lifetime, like how
many throws quarterbacks make and who's playing well, who's not,
which is just the opinion of the beat writer whatever,
and maybe they're right, maybe they're completely right, but who
(11:18):
gives a flying f Seriously, here's why I judge players.
And maybe I'm the wrong guy on this, but if
they suck in games, I care about that. It's like
the old line they used to use about your military training.
You get ready for combat, you go to boot camp,
and you know, you do your thing, you work out,
(11:40):
you gotta be in shape. You got to learn all
the things you need to be in the military. Not
that I've ever been in the military, but I bred
about it. And they say, well, you know, you're they're
just shooting blanks, you know, shooting banks. But when you
go out in combat, there's live, actual bullets from one ironstand.
So it's much different situation, right, last word here, So
quickly we move from Vegas and we now go to
(12:02):
the Washington, DC area where fat Albert has spoken. That
would be Albert Hainsworth, a legend. He actually said this,
I think in Nashville, the defensive tackle of the team
formerly No when he played for them, they were the
Washington Redskins. So he did something that raised some eyebross.
He went unorthodox. He actually came out defending Dan Snyder. Hello, yeah,
(12:28):
he came out defending Dan Snyder recently, the former owner
of the Washington football team. Now, he said that he
did care that. Albert Hanster said, listen, this guy cared
about the team. He spoke to over at OutKick on
the Hot Mic show. Over there, he said, we're like
super cool. He stated, everybody's like Dan's and ahole. Albert
(12:51):
Hayes was said, but he's not that for for a quote.
Everyone everyone's like, hey, he ruined Washington, d C. He
ruined the commander. There's this guy who he was. He
loved Albert Hainsworth set continuing the quote, he loved Washington.
He's like watching every practice, He's doing all that stuff. Now,
Hainsworth did say that he told Snyder to his face
(13:14):
that he did not have the proper knowledge to run
an NFL team, and he pointed out that he was
a billionaire fantasy footballer. But the overall sentiment of Albert
Hainsworth was a positive one to Dan Snyder. So what
is your takeaway from Albert Hainsworth going against the tide
(13:35):
against the tide to stand by his man, Dan Snyder
in this period of time where Snyder was reprimanded by
the NFL forced to sell the team made a gazillion
dollars find sixty million dollars. So here we go, this one, simple, simple, simple.
(13:56):
If you've been around a while and you've paid attention,
I think you know why Albert haynes Worth would come
out defending Dance Stunner. Maybe he truly likes him. But
I know a reason, and it's a very good reason.
Money talks in fools walk, and some would say fools
give out money like Dan Snyder did to Albert Haynesworth.
But that's my tell you. Albert knows who gave him
(14:17):
the winning mcmillion's piece there from the Monopoly game, and
it was not anyone other than Dan Snyder. Yeah, he
won the instant Win game. He got the piece from
Dan Snyder to the tune of one hundred million dollars,
which in today's monkey that was back in nine. In
today's money, that's one hundred and forty two million dollars
based on inflation from when Albert Hainsworth got the contract
(14:42):
back in nine. And he sucked every second he played
for the Washington Redskins. And but you know it did
not suck his finances, did not stink, did not stink
and so and the other Snyder could not have been
a schmuck to everyone. He clearly treated a bunch of
people badly. But there are i'd be some people that
(15:02):
liked him otherwise. I know Jerry Jones used to hang
out with them all the time, for example. They were pals. Anyway,
it is the Ben Mahler Show if you would like
to be part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
as we kick off the new week here. The easiest
time to get in is right now, and it gets

I'm at Eddie on Fox at l I from the
tyrack dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
It's Ben Maler, a poult pourri of NFL nonsense, including
Zeke Elliott. In his situation, he had Albert Hainsworth defending
Dan Snyder, going against the grain the unpopular opinion from
Albert Hanswath. I'll tell you right now, if somebody offers
me and actually pay me one hundred million dollars, I
(16:48):
will defend them. If they do bad stuff, I will.
I am not I am not that strong in my position.
My moral compass is broken enough for one hundred and
fifty million dollars. I will support them. Albert Hainsworth did
throw a little little small jab at Dan Snyder. Now
(17:09):
we are also not only on the X or Twitter
whatever the hell, let's call. We're also on that Threads thing.
That's what it's called, the Threads thing, which is up
and running. So you can follow me on there and
support the the show. It's the way to do it.
Take some calls coming up here in a minute. The
Malard militia has a lot to say. Chip in the
(17:31):
Cues writes, and he says a plus on the Mallard monologue.
Of course fat Albert's got Snyder's back. The Titans knew
better than to give that lazy blankety blankety blank a
big contract, despite the fact al was a monster on
the field when actually motivated. Once Oal got paid, he
laid there you go. Yeah, there's a lot of guys
(17:54):
like that though. That's what happens. That is what takes place.
So what else we have page down and see here
action Jackson says he's gonna go down that famous slide
there in Boston that became infamous. Eugenie in Chicago says, ben,
I give up. The Podres just can't defeat the Dodgers.
So he's raising the white flag. Well, they did actually
(18:16):
win a game, the Dodger bullpen blue on Saturday. But yeah,
there was our resident Padre Homer was in here earlier
on the Arnie Spaniards show producing that show, and he
did not talk any trash. It's convenient. Normally he throws
some smack down, but he didn't do it anything you can.
I stayed quiet the whole thing. Ryan says, I'm surprised
you're opening Maller monologue was not about the mass murder
(18:38):
of the PAC twelve. Larry frickin' Scott. Yeah, I would
love to get Larry Scott on my podcast and say
Larry and Larry was very nice. I met him a
few times over the years, back in the old days
when he first got the job, and could not have
been nicer, very nice man. He was the old commissioner
of the pack at twelve and could not have been
(18:59):
more opping it. So good guy, terrible boss, just an
absolute dreadful boss. Shane. And the proofs in the fact
that the PAC twelve, all the good teams are going
to the Big ten or the Big twelve. That's all
you need to know, Shane. And we will talk about
that though coming up later on. Shane in de Moine right, so,
and he says ferg Cat is a little less annoying
(19:22):
than Ferg Dog, but I may be speaking too soon.
A plus on the monologue, Thomas and the five to
one to three says, well, that was an over zealous
Mallard monologue. Now get the baseball fight between the Indians
and the White Sox. We'll get to that in due time.
We have a four hour blank canvas that we can
(19:45):
get to, and we don't need to do it right now.
Anthony and Anaheim says, I know you don't do shout outs,
but I've got a listener named Jared who is listening
on his ride home from San Diego. We Jared, I
don't know who you are. The fact that your friends
with Anti and Anaheim makes me question your judgment, so
I cannot give a shout out. I hope you I
hope you understand. Let's go to the phones. Let's go
(20:06):
to CJ, who's hanging out in Washington, d C. Hello, CJ, welcome,
you're on Fox.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Moneyball malor my man?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
How you doing That's right? Don't forget moneyball, mault man.
You want me up right, CJ. Two outs, ninth inning,
runner and scoring position down by a run. You want
me at the plate right, cash.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Them in baby, so we can get off this fieldroom
with his w that's right.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Are you working right now, CJ? Are you driving around
that airport?
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Nah? No, it's raining out here, so you know the grass.
Kind of take care of yourself tonight and them get
back at it tomorrow. I want to get the trap
stock all right.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Very cool, very cool.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I got three things I gotta get off my chest.
Man Albert Haines words. He has no right saying somebody
as an a hole and not an a hole, because
then he stomp on somebody in the field.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Well, who hasn't done that? CJ? Come on, haven't you
done that? When you've at somebody at work bothers? You
don't you just stomp them? No, you don't do that.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
I'm a man of integrity. I can't choose violence, you know,
I have.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
To take the higher road.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Good for you, Yes, no, he did. That was a
great I'm glad you brought that. I forgot about that. Yeah,
that was a big contrary. The guy from the Cowboys
wasn't a guy from the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
He stopped.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That was good sports. That was good sports radio, CJ.
That was like three weeks of good sports radio. That's stomping.
It was good.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Radio number two. You have been a seated just ups
remembers putting Timanderson onto the valley?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Did I did I not see it? Yeah, I'm gonna
do frame by frame breakdown. We're gonna go to the
judges scorecard. That was amazing. Listen. That was the greatest
baseball fight since Ruge nad o'door knocked out Jose Battistall something.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Let me tell you all right, Elvis Andrews was front
seat for incidents.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
That's he's like Forrest Gump. He's in the right place
at the right time, right you.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
You you'll rewind it. He's right there. Oh man, that
was a sweet shot. I hose they were married.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
And Tim and Tim Anderson. Man, he was all He
was the first guy to square up to now. He
was baited by Ramiro.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
He knew what he was doing.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He figured he could fake it
till he makes it, until until he got walloped right
in the chin and fell down, down goes And it
was amazing.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Where's that sound by it?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It was great?
Speaker 5 (22:34):
And the last thing before I let you go to everybody,
anybody else can call in this PAC twelve disintegration is
it's horrible, man, I mean, no more Rose Bowl. And
I just want to know what happened to Stanford who
didn't get absorbed by the IVY League. So he go
out there by Andre to Commonwils and play Harvard and
Yale and those type of people. Because I don't see
(22:55):
Stanford getting into a major conference like that.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
So nah, there's no money in the eye. I mean
there's a lot of money. There's more money in the
IVY League than anywhere, but not TV money. That's the problem.
They want the TV money. So Stanford screwed right now.
But there is a shot the Big Ten ads a
couple more teams and that would completely harpoon they packed
twelve or whatever's left of it if Stanford and Cal
(23:20):
Because the Big Ten is a national conference, They've got
New York. They think nobody in New York. I know,
my family lives. They don't watch Rutgers.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
But Rutgers is the closest thing to New York.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
No, I know, But they claim that as the New
York market. You know, you know, it's not. Fans in
New York are not big college college football fans. So
the ones that I've known They're like Notre Dame, right,
but anyway, you got you got that. So they got
New York, they have Chicago with Northwestern. They're gonna have
LA with SC and U C l A. So those
are the top marks. They can get San Francisco with
(23:51):
Stanford and cal. That's another top six market they could have.
They could own the top of the food chain for that.
All right, thank you, See to be safe out there
in the rain. All right, thank you, Ben. All Right,
there you go. The great CJY check it in from
he works at the airport there in DC.

(26:56):
Nobody wants this guy. Carson Wentz put some photo on
the Socials and in the photograph he's seen working out.
That's not the story you would assume he would work out.
He's trying to get a job in the NFL and
He's just waiting for some quarterback to get mangled. And
then some desperate team will call his agent and say, hey,
we'd like Carson Wentz to come play for our team.
(27:18):

And what was his fashion statement? You talk about being
in vogue? He showed up wearing in these photographs. He
knows the latest style because he had I'm looking at
it right here. He has a Washington Commander's jersey. I
(28:03):
played in Washington not that long ago. Also the Philadelphia
Eagles helmet, so he combined the Eagles helmet with the
commander's jersey. And then his shorts have the Indianapolis Colts
logo on them. So he covered all of the teams
that he's played with. Now, this reminds me of you know,
(28:25):
like when you get a certain age you don't really
give a crap anymore. We all do it, you know,
like the people that wear the plaid shorts and the
plaid top. It's different plaid, you know that kind of stuff. Yeah,
it's like that. Look quite the quite the attention getter, though.
Any listen and you turn to me because I know
what the newest wrinkle is in fashion, and people goof
(28:48):
on me and they say that that's not true, and
I don't know that, but that trust me. If you've
ever met me and you see what kind of amazing
clothing I wear, I absolutely know what is the latest
behavior of the fashion world. I pay very close attention
to it. There's no question about it. Let's go to
(29:08):
the phones. Dylan has a hot take, and it better
be hot. He's in bakers Wille, Hello Dylan, in California,
the bread basket of California. Hello Dylan.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
How's it going?
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Ben Meller and all you people are the Meland Militia.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Is that your take? Dylan? Your take? Oh okay, all right,
well hello, hello, here we go. Here we go. Wait
wait wait wait, wait here we go. On a scale
of one to ten, how hot is the take?
Speaker 5 (29:44):
I would say at least eight and eight.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
All right, do you need anything for me to give
the take? Do you need anything at all? You're ready
to give the take? Okay, I'm gonna turn the mic off.
Go ahead, give the take.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
Here we go, Los Angeles Rams will have a bet
a record than the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
By at least two games.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Dylan, that's an eight on your takes? What's a what's
a two on your takes? That seems like more like
I mean.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
If you look at Vegas, Vegas is saying the Rams
aren't going to have more than four.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
So why would you say that?
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Though?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Now at this point, I'm not a cowboy. I like
the Rams obviously, so I like I like the idea
of the concept of the take. But the Rams have
a bunch of slop that they're throwing out there hoping
it'll work. And maybe the slop will turn into sloppy
Joe's and it's a good meal, but it could also
turn it into something that causes you to go to
a doctor because you have diarrhea.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
Well, I mean, let's need he has some he gets
some good picks?
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Oh does he namer? Go ahead, name name all the
good thicks. Well, you said less sneed has good face.
They already had him all right. Listen, Dylan, it's not
an eight. That's about it. That's I'll give you a three.
How about that? That's a three on the Takescille, I'm
(31:17):
giving you a three. Dylan, that's a three. I'm being generous.
That's a three. I think you're being harsh.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
I think it's I think it's a five.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
No, not a five. No, it's below a five. Now,
Coop sucking up to you. He's not. He doesn't really
believe that off the year he was at MF and
you is what he was doing off the year. I
absolutely believe that.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
I mean, it's not like you ask anybody besides you
what everybody's expecting the Cowboys to have a better record
than the Rams.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Well, I think the Cowboys will win around ten games.
I don't see the Rams winning twelve games, so or.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
I don't see the Cowboys winning ten games.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
You don't think they go ten and seven, unless unless
Dak Prescott's gonna get hurt. Like Dak, I'm not a
Dak guy. But wash your mouth out with soap and
water with that take. Dare you.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Do?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I hope it happens.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Oh, you have a bet. Okay, all right, two games.
I hope you're getting great odds on that because you're
taking the.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
To be honest, I'm kind of stunned that you think
what the Cowboys are going to win ten games with
how much you trash the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
They're a regular season team. They will beat bad opponents,
and then in the playoffs they will be exposed for
the frauds they are. That's what happened. It's like a
beach chair that's fine until a three hundred pounder sits
in it and then it falls apart. That's what has
Are you speaking from experience? I don't know what you're
(32:51):
talking about, Google Loop. I'm just saying sometimes they claim
that things will go up to a certain to certain level,
and they don't. Actually, they don't reach that rarefied air.
It just happens. Mason the Millennial, Hello Mason the Millennial
in the Bay Area. Welcome Mason, YO.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
How are you you know?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I'm glad you asked that. I would like to address
that right now, and for anyone else that's going to
call up for the next over three hours and almost
twenty minutes that we're on the radio, I'm okay, Mason,
I'm okay, thank you for asking. Anyone want to complain
about any issues? Mark, do you have any issues?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Mark says he's okay, shaking, he said, no, Coop, anything
you want to complain about, anything at all you would
like to grass? No, okay, Eddie, anything at all you
want to complain about. No, he's your Okay, you're good,
Eddie said, he's good. We're all good, So nobody needs
to ask how we're doing. We're all okay, everyone's okay.
No one's got a medical condition. We're all in good

shape here as far as we know. That's for the week, right,
that's for today, right here for today.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
Oh, just for today.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Okay, Okay, in fact, you know what, now they bring
that up, that's for infinity until my status changes. I
will let you know. How about that.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
I hope everyone else took notes.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
In the audience.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yes, no one else will ask me how I'm doing.
Not a single caller will ask me how I'm doing.
We will not waste about twenty minutes of the show
every week with people asking how I'm doing. We will
not do that at all.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
For sure.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
So let's get to the subject.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Okay, here we go, now, after you've been on the
air for ninety seconds. We are now getting to the subject.
Here we go.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Yeah, Poppy's gonna do the verbal octagon. I heard rumor
as I'm pretty sure he's gonna do it unless he
knows shows undisclosed on who the partner will be to
this point, but we're just.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Gonna wait and see.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Okay, Manager, you know I'm calling in and just letting
he's busy with the family right now.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Okay, Well, we'll have to do it. Not this week,
We'll do it next week. We'll plan a week. I
need some time to promote it. I have to get
billboards up, as you know, we have a big budget
on the show bus advertisements. I gotta leave it there though.

Hello and welcome. It's our numb Bar one, our one
of the podcast. Hope you had a great weekend and
a reminder if you missed any of the content we
put out over the weekend. We had three original podcasts,
including the Mailbag on Sunday and some stories that have
(00:20):
not been told before, all available, including a look at
new technology, big tech taking over NFL fields. We talked
about the new AI robot that's helping NFL teams out.
That was on the Friday podcast. You want to hear
all about that. But right now here in our number one,
we go back to the NFL, well one more time,
(00:42):
Zeke Elliott. Is he close to getting a contract in
the NFL? And should he go back to the Cowboys? Also,
how concerned should dar Raiders be with Jimmy G's training
camp interceptions? They are abundant, we are told in Vegas. Also,
what is your takeaway from Albert Haynesworth defending Dan Snyder.
(01:06):
Nobody's defending Dan Snyder other than Albert Haynesworth. We'll talk
about all of that and much more right now here.
It is our number one. Has the Zeke landed well?
Not yet? Not yet, but maybe soon Welcome in the
beginning of a brand new week of the Ben Mather Show.
(01:27):
We are in the air everywhere you listen, and we
talk talk talk talk, talk, talk, talk, talk talk, carving
pathways where find out coast, the coast, border, the border,
and beyond. On the mast and prodigiously powerful microphones of

(02:12):
The way tire buying should be exactly all right. So
our lead this hour to begin the festivus of talk
coming from the NFL, because that's where we focus this
time of the year. I know there's been no real games,
there'll be no games for another few weeks until the
NFL regular season begins. These exhibition games are drek, is
(02:36):
what they are. But there are are some storylines that
caught my attention that have taken place here over the
last couple of days, and one of them involving a
well known free agent running back that would mean Zeke Elliott,
late of the Dallas Cowboys, was fired by the Cowboys
(02:57):
many months ago, and he's still unemployed after all this time.
So if you've not been following along with breathless second
by second, reclicking, trying to get the latest information, so
we've learned now over the weekend that there has been progress.
What kind of progress, Well, he hasn't signed a contract,
(03:19):
but Zeke Elliott later the Cowboys drawing interest from the Cowboys,
also the Patriots. We knew that, and the j e
Ts suck, Suck, suck. The Jets as well among the
teams interested. If you believe the scuttle butt, it is
Ezekiel Elliott who has been out of work, unemployed since
(03:41):
March when he was unceremoniously dumped out of Jerry's world.
He entered the transfer portal and Jerry said, bye bye,
we'll see you later. We're done. Get out here. And
the Jets they want Zeke, but they don't really want
that much. They'd rather have Dalvin Cook, but they don't
think Dalvin Cook wants them. Dalvin Cook doesn't seem all
(04:03):
they're interested, so that the Jets is like it's a
backup plan. It's a plan bit. Zeke is a Plan B.
You don't really want to be a Plan B. But
Zeke is a Plan B for the Jets. It would appear,
and the Patriots are interested, But how much are they
really interested? It like they work for pennies compared to
(04:25):
everyone else, which is the Patriot way. Why not come
on down? The cowboy angle is the most interesting, and
this is something that we've talked about in previous episodes
of the show. And even though Mike McCarthy and others
around the Cowboys not named Jerry Jones have implied that
there's not a realistic path back for Zeke to go
(04:48):
to Dallas, here we are again, so let us discuss
the question should Zeke Elliott go back to the Cowboys.
You get to go thumbs up or thumbs down on that.
So I am going thumbs down. A big, giant, oversized thumb,
a throbbing thumb pointing down is what I'm going with.
(05:09):
I've got recipe book, poet laureate, and mcmillions, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make heartburn. That's what we're gonna because the
Cowboys will have heartburn. And Zeke Elliott will have heartburn
if he goes back into that situation, like what are
(05:31):
we even having this conversation for at this particular point.
So A, it would be better for all involved, being
the malar think tank that we are here. If you
do not, if it's Zeke el, you don't go back.
You have been demoted, you have been dethroned. You don't
go back there. You know, it's Tony Pollard's team. It's Pollard,
(05:52):
he's the star back there. He's the guy, and he's
the new franchise player and Jerry's fun zone. That's who
they're going with. They did not want you, they wanted
somebody else. They have moved on here. Do not be
pathetic and go back and you look outside of Pollard
going down with some kind of injury. Outside of that, okay,
(06:16):
then you say, maybe we would revisit this, but you
don't do it. And the reason you don't do it.
The road back to the Cowboys for Zeke Elliott is
booby trapped. It is absolutely booby trapped. You take that
recipe book with all the different recipes you got from
Jerry and the different Cowboy people, you pour it in
gasoline you then light a match and you then toss
(06:41):
the match on top of the recipe book that's got
the Cowboy logo on it, and burn baby burn. Just
that's it. Make it a ritual. If you have to
just get rid of it. That's it. We're good, thank
you very much. We need nothing more. That's what should
happen here because Zeke, listen, it's all HI play with.
The reason the Cowboys don't want anymore is because he's
(07:02):
a plodding back at this point. It's why he's still
available as exhibition games get going this upcoming week here
and until proven otherwise. He's no longer a guy that's
in every down back that's gonna carry the load. And
he's not the player he was. Ever since he signed
that contract and went to kantkun I guess before he
went he signed the contract. The production has gone down, down, down, down,
(07:27):
down down down. He ran at times last year saw
the Cowboys, and who didn't see the Cowboys. They're on
National TV every weekend just about and you watch the
Cowboys play and Zeke Elliott's like, eh, yeah, So he's
running in sand on the beach and he's got concrete
shoes on the new Nike concrete shoes that he's wearing
(07:47):
as he's running around doing his thing wonderful. Just as
so he's essentially a goal line specialist. Now, regardless of that,
we have been hearing that not only is Zeke Elliott
trying to get back in the NFL, but he is
not going to come back unless he gets a certain
amount of money. Which if that's true, then Zeke might
(08:09):
as well just become a TV guy and or do
a radio show or something like that, or get a podcast,
because everyone's got a podcast, even I have a podcast,
and just work your way through it. That's it, you know,
because you're you're not gonna get top dollar. It's fair.
The market has said. Unless somebody goes down with an
injury and you happen to be a friend of a
(08:30):
coach that wants to have you, it's not going to
work out too well. It's not going to work out
too well. But you can't wait. You can wait for
the Rice Crispies Snap Crackle pop to take place. But
my advice would be to do that. That's it, and
you'll be the flavor of the week.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Meanwhile, in Vegas, we move now from free agency Land
to Lost Wages Nevada, where the Raiders head coach Josh
McDaniels attempting to brush aside what has become a a
bubbling storyline with the Raiders, and that is the performance
(09:06):
of Jimmy Garoppolo, the old forty nine er quarterback making
his way in Vegas. Garoppolo has been practicing and he
has sucked in practice. According to those that have seen
the Raiders practice and those that have heard about the
Raiders practice, Garoppolo is not only a quarterback, he has
been terrible for the Raiders. How bad he is to
(09:30):
be kind turnover prone. One report said he has thrown
seven interceptions in two practices for the Raiders. So how
were now? Josh McDaniel says he has no concerns. McDaniel's like,
everything's fine here, nothing worry about you. You got no concerns.
So the question here, with that being in the backdrop here,
(09:51):
how worried should the Raider people be with Jimmy G's
training camp interceptions? And there's a lot of them. So
on the Mallards gaiale of concern one to ten, with
ten being panic at the disco, I am at a
three A three for Garoppolo. And you know, I love
a good panic. I make my living selling panic in
(10:12):
the middle of the night. But in this case, I
don't buy the noise that, oh, this is brutal. It
reminds me of when Patrick Mahomes was with the Chiefs
before he became Patrick Mahomes the legend. He was throwing
a bunch of interceptions in practice and people were mocking
Andy Reid. I remember we talked about it on the show.
(10:33):
He were goofing on Andy Reid, like, what are.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
You doing here?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I mean this guy, you drafted this guy tenth overall,
he's throwing a lot of interceptions. Bad job by you. Well,
it seemed to be okay. And I would like to
quote the great poet laureate from Georgetown who said, we
in here talking about practice, not a game. Not a game,
We're talking about practice, the great Allen Iverson, who was
poetic in that particular rant when it comes to this
(10:57):
kind of stuff, Because I don't it blows me away
that the amount of attention the practices get. It's one
of those things that's changed in my lifetime, like how
many throws quarterbacks make and who's playing well, who's not,
which is just the opinion of the beat writer whatever,
and maybe they're right, maybe they're completely right, but who
(11:18):
gives a flying f Seriously, here's why I judge players.
And maybe I'm the wrong guy on this, but if
they suck in games, I care about that. It's like
the old line they used to use about your military training.
You get ready for combat, you go to boot camp,
and you know, you do your thing, you work out,
(11:40):
you gotta be in shape. You got to learn all
the things you need to be in the military. Not
that I've ever been in the military, but I bred
about it. And they say, well, you know, you're they're
just shooting blanks, you know, shooting banks. But when you
go out in combat, there's live, actual bullets from one ironstand.
So it's much different situation, right, last word here, So
quickly we move from Vegas and we now go to
(12:02):
the Washington, DC area where fat Albert has spoken. That
would be Albert Hainsworth, a legend. He actually said this,
I think in Nashville, the defensive tackle of the team
formerly No when he played for them, they were the
Washington Redskins. So he did something that raised some eyebross.
He went unorthodox. He actually came out defending Dan Snyder. Hello, yeah,
(12:28):
he came out defending Dan Snyder recently, the former owner
of the Washington football team. Now, he said that he
did care that. Albert Hanster said, listen, this guy cared
about the team. He spoke to over at OutKick on
the Hot Mic show. Over there, he said, we're like
super cool. He stated, everybody's like Dan's and ahole. Albert
(12:51):
Hayes was said, but he's not that for for a quote.
Everyone everyone's like, hey, he ruined Washington, d C. He
ruined the commander. There's this guy who he was. He
loved Albert Hainsworth set continuing the quote, he loved Washington.
He's like watching every practice, He's doing all that stuff. Now,
Hainsworth did say that he told Snyder to his face
(13:14):
that he did not have the proper knowledge to run
an NFL team, and he pointed out that he was
a billionaire fantasy footballer. But the overall sentiment of Albert
Hainsworth was a positive one to Dan Snyder. So what
is your takeaway from Albert Hainsworth going against the tide
(13:35):
against the tide to stand by his man, Dan Snyder
in this period of time where Snyder was reprimanded by
the NFL forced to sell the team made a gazillion
dollars find sixty million dollars. So here we go, this one, simple, simple, simple.
(13:56):
If you've been around a while and you've paid attention,
I think you know why Albert haynes Worth would come
out defending Dance Stunner. Maybe he truly likes him. But
I know a reason, and it's a very good reason.
Money talks in fools walk, and some would say fools
give out money like Dan Snyder did to Albert Haynesworth.
But that's my tell you. Albert knows who gave him
(14:17):
the winning mcmillion's piece there from the Monopoly game, and
it was not anyone other than Dan Snyder. Yeah, he
won the instant Win game. He got the piece from
Dan Snyder to the tune of one hundred million dollars,
which in today's monkey that was back in nine. In
today's money, that's one hundred and forty two million dollars
based on inflation from when Albert Hainsworth got the contract
(14:42):
back in nine. And he sucked every second he played
for the Washington Redskins. And but you know it did
not suck his finances, did not stink, did not stink
and so and the other Snyder could not have been
a schmuck to everyone. He clearly treated a bunch of
people badly. But there are i'd be some people that
(15:02):
liked him otherwise. I know Jerry Jones used to hang
out with them all the time, for example. They were pals. Anyway,
it is the Ben Mahler Show if you would like

Speaker 1 (16:28):
It's Ben Maler, a poult pourri of NFL nonsense, including
Zeke Elliott. In his situation, he had Albert Hainsworth defending
Dan Snyder, going against the grain the unpopular opinion from
Albert Hanswath. I'll tell you right now, if somebody offers
me and actually pay me one hundred million dollars, I
(16:48):
will defend them. If they do bad stuff, I will.
I am not I am not that strong in my position.
My moral compass is broken enough for one hundred and
fifty million dollars. I will support them. Albert Hainsworth did
throw a little little small jab at Dan Snyder. Now
(17:09):
we are also not only on the X or Twitter
whatever the hell, let's call. We're also on that Threads thing.
That's what it's called, the Threads thing, which is up
and running. So you can follow me on there and
support the the show. It's the way to do it.
Take some calls coming up here in a minute. The
Malard militia has a lot to say. Chip in the
(17:31):
Cues writes, and he says a plus on the Mallard monologue.
Of course fat Albert's got Snyder's back. The Titans knew
better than to give that lazy blankety blankety blank a
big contract, despite the fact al was a monster on
the field when actually motivated. Once Oal got paid, he
laid there you go. Yeah, there's a lot of guys
(17:54):
like that though. That's what happens. That is what takes place.
So what else we have page down and see here
action Jackson says he's gonna go down that famous slide
there in Boston that became infamous. Eugenie in Chicago says, ben,
I give up. The Podres just can't defeat the Dodgers.
So he's raising the white flag. Well, they did actually
(18:16):
win a game, the Dodger bullpen blue on Saturday. But yeah,
there was our resident Padre Homer was in here earlier
on the Arnie Spaniards show producing that show, and he
did not talk any trash. It's convenient. Normally he throws
some smack down, but he didn't do it anything you can.
I stayed quiet the whole thing. Ryan says, I'm surprised
you're opening Maller monologue was not about the mass murder
(18:38):
of the PAC twelve. Larry frickin' Scott. Yeah, I would
love to get Larry Scott on my podcast and say
Larry and Larry was very nice. I met him a
few times over the years, back in the old days
when he first got the job, and could not have
been nicer, very nice man. He was the old commissioner
of the pack at twelve and could not have been
(18:59):
more opping it. So good guy, terrible boss, just an
absolute dreadful boss. Shane. And the proofs in the fact
that the PAC twelve, all the good teams are going
to the Big ten or the Big twelve. That's all
you need to know, Shane. And we will talk about
that though coming up later on. Shane in de Moine right, so,
and he says ferg Cat is a little less annoying
(19:22):
than Ferg Dog, but I may be speaking too soon.
A plus on the monologue, Thomas and the five to
one to three says, well, that was an over zealous
Mallard monologue. Now get the baseball fight between the Indians
and the White Sox. We'll get to that in due time.
We have a four hour blank canvas that we can
(19:45):
get to, and we don't need to do it right now.
Anthony and Anaheim says, I know you don't do shout outs,
but I've got a listener named Jared who is listening
on his ride home from San Diego. We Jared, I
don't know who you are. The fact that your friends
with Anti and Anaheim makes me question your judgment, so
I cannot give a shout out. I hope you I
hope you understand. Let's go to the phones. Let's go
(20:06):
to CJ, who's hanging out in Washington, d C. Hello, CJ, welcome,
you're on Fox.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Moneyball malor my man?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
How you doing That's right? Don't forget moneyball, mault man.
You want me up right, CJ. Two outs, ninth inning,
runner and scoring position down by a run. You want
me at the plate right, cash.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Them in baby, so we can get off this fieldroom
with his w that's right.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Are you working right now, CJ? Are you driving around
that airport?
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Nah? No, it's raining out here, so you know the grass.
Kind of take care of yourself tonight and them get
back at it tomorrow. I want to get the trap
stock all right.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Very cool, very cool.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I got three things I gotta get off my chest.
Man Albert Haines words. He has no right saying somebody
as an a hole and not an a hole, because
then he stomp on somebody in the field.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Well, who hasn't done that? CJ? Come on, haven't you
done that? When you've at somebody at work bothers? You
don't you just stomp them? No, you don't do that.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
I'm a man of integrity. I can't choose violence, you know,
I have.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
To take the higher road.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Good for you, Yes, no, he did. That was a
great I'm glad you brought that. I forgot about that. Yeah,
that was a big contrary. The guy from the Cowboys
wasn't a guy from the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
He stopped.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That was good sports. That was good sports radio, CJ.
That was like three weeks of good sports radio. That's stomping.
It was good.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Radio number two. You have been a seated just ups
remembers putting Timanderson onto the valley?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Did I did I not see it? Yeah, I'm gonna
do frame by frame breakdown. We're gonna go to the
judges scorecard. That was amazing. Listen. That was the greatest
baseball fight since Ruge nad o'door knocked out Jose Battistall something.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Let me tell you all right, Elvis Andrews was front
seat for incidents.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
That's he's like Forrest Gump. He's in the right place
at the right time, right you.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
You you'll rewind it. He's right there. Oh man, that
was a sweet shot. I hose they were married.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
And Tim and Tim Anderson. Man, he was all He
was the first guy to square up to now. He
was baited by Ramiro.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
He knew what he was doing.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He figured he could fake it
till he makes it, until until he got walloped right
in the chin and fell down, down goes And it
was amazing.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Where's that sound by it?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It was great?
Speaker 5 (22:34):
And the last thing before I let you go to everybody,
anybody else can call in this PAC twelve disintegration is
it's horrible, man, I mean, no more Rose Bowl. And
I just want to know what happened to Stanford who
didn't get absorbed by the IVY League. So he go
out there by Andre to Commonwils and play Harvard and
Yale and those type of people. Because I don't see
(22:55):
Stanford getting into a major conference like that.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
So nah, there's no money in the eye. I mean
there's a lot of money. There's more money in the
IVY League than anywhere, but not TV money. That's the problem.
They want the TV money. So Stanford screwed right now.
But there is a shot the Big Ten ads a
couple more teams and that would completely harpoon they packed
twelve or whatever's left of it if Stanford and Cal
(23:20):
Because the Big Ten is a national conference, They've got
New York. They think nobody in New York. I know,
my family lives. They don't watch Rutgers.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
But Rutgers is the closest thing to New York.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
No, I know, But they claim that as the New
York market. You know, you know, it's not. Fans in
New York are not big college college football fans. So
the ones that I've known They're like Notre Dame, right,
but anyway, you got you got that. So they got
New York, they have Chicago with Northwestern. They're gonna have
LA with SC and U C l A. So those
are the top marks. They can get San Francisco with
(23:51):
Stanford and cal. That's another top six market they could have.
They could own the top of the food chain for that.
All right, thank you, See to be safe out there
in the rain. All right, thank you, Ben. All Right,
there you go. The great CJY check it in from
he works at the airport there in DC.

Well, the Women's World Cup, the USA.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
USA, US, the USA No good bye, go kneel the
anthem somewhere else your losers, USA.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Well, they finished zero zero in regulation with Sweden, and
they went kicks and they lost five to four.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Really rather stunning at either choke.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Job, missing the you know, just completely missing.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I guess they don't have to look disgusted anymore when
they play the national anthem. Man, that's good.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
They're out in the round of sixteenth, the first time ever,
earliest exit in a major tournament ever. They were the
back to back defending World Cup champs.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I'm all of those. Remember when the US women's team
used to win World Cup City I remember that back.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
It wasn't that long ago, so that's not really okay.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I'm sure Iowa Sam is somewhere devastated. Are we still
getting preempted by this stuff? By the way, probably, Oh
my god, I didn't check. Probably, so sure, Yeah it's
Sweden versus who knows?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
But hey, watch it on Fox.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Yes, yes, watch it on Fox. Absolutely, we love we
love it, Eddie. I I actually asked my bosses to

practice field somewhere in a secret location. Carson Wentz, free
agent quarterback, Carson Wentz trying to drum up some interest.
(26:56):
Nobody wants this guy. Carson Wentz put some photo on
the Socials and in the photograph he's seen working out.
That's not the story you would assume he would work out.
He's trying to get a job in the NFL and
He's just waiting for some quarterback to get mangled. And
then some desperate team will call his agent and say, hey,
we'd like Carson Wentz to come play for our team.
(27:18):
And then Carson will get on a plane and he'll
go there and say, everything's gonna be different this time.
I will not go out and take a ride on
the vomit comet. It'll be different anyway, the fashion east
of football. Did you see what Carson Wentz was wearing.
He had a moomoo No, no, he did not have
(27:40):
a moomoo on. But Carson Wentz making a fashion state.
And what was his fashion statement? You talk about being
in vogue? He showed up wearing in these photographs. He
knows the latest style because he had I'm looking at
it right here. He has a Washington Commander's jersey. I
(28:03):
played in Washington not that long ago. Also the Philadelphia
Eagles helmet, so he combined the Eagles helmet with the
commander's jersey. And then his shorts have the Indianapolis Colts
logo on them. So he covered all of the teams
that he's played with. Now, this reminds me of you know,
(28:25):
like when you get a certain age you don't really
give a crap anymore. We all do it, you know,
like the people that wear the plaid shorts and the
plaid top. It's different plaid, you know that kind of stuff. Yeah,
it's like that. Look quite the quite the attention getter, though.
Any listen and you turn to me because I know
what the newest wrinkle is in fashion, and people goof
(28:48):
on me and they say that that's not true, and
I don't know that, but that trust me. If you've
ever met me and you see what kind of amazing
clothing I wear, I absolutely know what is the latest
behavior of the fashion world. I pay very close attention
to it. There's no question about it. Let's go to
(29:08):
the phones. Dylan has a hot take, and it better
be hot. He's in bakers Wille, Hello Dylan, in California,
the bread basket of California. Hello Dylan.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
How's it going?
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Ben Meller and all you people are the Meland Militia.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Is that your take? Dylan? Your take? Oh okay, all right,
well hello, hello, here we go. Here we go. Wait
wait wait wait, wait here we go. On a scale
of one to ten, how hot is the take?
Speaker 5 (29:44):
I would say at least eight and eight.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
All right, do you need anything for me to give
the take? Do you need anything at all? You're ready
to give the take? Okay, I'm gonna turn the mic off.
Go ahead, give the take.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
Here we go, Los Angeles Rams will have a bet
a record than the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
By at least two games.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Dylan, that's an eight on your takes? What's a what's
a two on your takes? That seems like more like
I mean.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
If you look at Vegas, Vegas is saying the Rams
aren't going to have more than four.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
So why would you say that?
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Though?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Now at this point, I'm not a cowboy. I like
the Rams obviously, so I like I like the idea
of the concept of the take. But the Rams have
a bunch of slop that they're throwing out there hoping
it'll work. And maybe the slop will turn into sloppy
Joe's and it's a good meal, but it could also
turn it into something that causes you to go to
a doctor because you have diarrhea.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
Well, I mean, let's need he has some he gets
some good picks?
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Oh does he namer? Go ahead, name name all the
good thicks. Well, you said less sneed has good face.
They already had him all right. Listen, Dylan, it's not
an eight. That's about it. That's I'll give you a three.
How about that? That's a three on the Takescille, I'm
(31:17):
giving you a three. Dylan, that's a three. I'm being generous.
That's a three. I think you're being harsh.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
I think it's I think it's a five.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
No, not a five. No, it's below a five. Now,
Coop sucking up to you. He's not. He doesn't really
believe that off the year he was at MF and
you is what he was doing off the year. I
absolutely believe that.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
I mean, it's not like you ask anybody besides you
what everybody's expecting the Cowboys to have a better record
than the Rams.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Well, I think the Cowboys will win around ten games.
I don't see the Rams winning twelve games, so or.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
I don't see the Cowboys winning ten games.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
You don't think they go ten and seven, unless unless
Dak Prescott's gonna get hurt. Like Dak, I'm not a
Dak guy. But wash your mouth out with soap and
water with that take. Dare you.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Do?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I hope it happens.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Oh, you have a bet. Okay, all right, two games.
I hope you're getting great odds on that because you're
taking the.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
To be honest, I'm kind of stunned that you think
what the Cowboys are going to win ten games with
how much you trash the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
They're a regular season team. They will beat bad opponents,
and then in the playoffs they will be exposed for
the frauds they are. That's what happened. It's like a
beach chair that's fine until a three hundred pounder sits
in it and then it falls apart. That's what has
Are you speaking from experience? I don't know what you're
(32:51):
talking about, Google Loop. I'm just saying sometimes they claim
that things will go up to a certain to certain level,
and they don't. Actually, they don't reach that rarefied air.
It just happens. Mason the Millennial, Hello Mason the Millennial
in the Bay Area. Welcome Mason, YO.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
How are you you know?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I'm glad you asked that. I would like to address
that right now, and for anyone else that's going to
call up for the next over three hours and almost
twenty minutes that we're on the radio, I'm okay, Mason,
I'm okay, thank you for asking. Anyone want to complain
about any issues? Mark, do you have any issues?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Mark says he's okay, shaking, he said, no, Coop, anything
you want to complain about, anything at all you would
like to grass? No, okay, Eddie, anything at all you
want to complain about. No, he's your Okay, you're good,
Eddie said, he's good. We're all good, So nobody needs
to ask how we're doing. We're all okay, everyone's okay.
No one's got a medical condition. We're all in good
(33:56):
shape here as far as we know. That's for the week, right,
that's for today, right here for today.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
Oh, just for today.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Okay, Okay, in fact, you know what, now they bring
that up, that's for infinity until my status changes. I
will let you know. How about that.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
I hope everyone else took notes.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
In the audience.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yes, no one else will ask me how I'm doing.
Not a single caller will ask me how I'm doing.
We will not waste about twenty minutes of the show
every week with people asking how I'm doing. We will
not do that at all.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
For sure.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
So let's get to the subject.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Okay, here we go, now, after you've been on the
air for ninety seconds. We are now getting to the subject.
Here we go.
Speaker 6 (34:39):

knows shows undisclosed on who the partner will be to
this point, but we're just.

Gonna wait and see.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Okay, Manager, you know I'm calling in and just letting
