Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name b One, our one

for telling a friend. Doing all that stuff you mean
a lot to me because you do that, we do
appreciate it. And here in hour number one, we talked

(00:21):
some football. What's the big takeaway from this John Gruden
scandal update that's been bouncing around the pinball machine of
sports chatter, And how much trouble is justin Jefferson in
for omitting Kirk Cousins from his top five quarterback list,
And what's the level of concern for Sequon Barkley on

(00:42):
missing the regular season opener for Big Blue. We'll talk
about all that. We have a surprise appearance by a
former Caller of the Year who was triggered triggered by
the Malard palooza of course, so you'll hear that. And
some other surprise is in our number one Stepping into

(01:05):
the muck. Wel come and the beginning of another edition
of the Benmathers Show. We are in the end everywhere
on the doorstep as we become one with the audio
waves coast to coast, Order, re Order and beyond on

(01:26):
the vast and zestfully powerful microphones of FSR emmating live
from the pump the pump Fake of the overnight. We
are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot Com studios tyrack
dot com. Well help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand installers.

(01:50):
That's a lot. Tire rack dot com, the way tire
buying shoes meet. In our lead this hour, coming from
the Speculation Machine. Working overtime, we're gonna flashback to a
couple years ago and a big mid NFL season scandal

(02:14):
involving John Gruden. Remember this the email scandal. So there's
some new revelations that popped up this week. We're glad
they did, and they randomly popped up. I'm sure that
was not conveniently planned for the Major League Baseball All
Star break for full attention. Unless it was, but maybe
he didn't see it, perhaps you missed it. So we've

(02:34):
learned now the new details about the John Gruden email
story from a couple of years ago. More information about
this congressional report containing testimony that claimed that Dan Snyder
Danny Boy was the person that leaked the infamous John
Gruden emails as an attempt to try to divert attention

(02:57):
from the scandal involving his team used to be called
the Redskins, but they changed that. Couldn't call it that
anymore now. In a wordy story from the fledgling Sports
Network out of Bristol, Connecticut, apparently they haven't fired everyone.
There's still some people working there that put the story together.
So they lay out the case. But it's not just

(03:18):
Dan Snyder in this story. They're all over the place.
They've got the NFL PA boss d Maurice Smith. He
is alleged to have bragged that he was responsible for
leaking the emails, and then there's others, so the story
is all over. It's Helter Skelter claiming that the actual

(03:40):
leakers identity remains unknown despite reading this seven thousand words story,
we don't know who heaked it, and everyone's pointing at
each other. It's like the Spider Man Spider Man meme
where they pointed each other. So let us discuss the question,
what is the big take away? What's the big takeaway

(04:01):
from this John Gruden scandal update? So I've got Blues
Singer Mulligan man and artificially made. And we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make a vote because you can vote for the winner

(04:21):
of the Malord Pallusan that we already vote. We have
more on that coming up, but we already voted on
the show last night. But if you missed it, go
back and get that podcast. The vote is open. More
information on that coming up, but again the question, what's
the big takeaway? What is the big takeaway from this
John Gruden scandal update? So a my head was Betty,

(04:42):
round and round and round like a Merry go round.
From reading this story, it reads like an episode of
Billions or something. It's wealth, it's power, it's power porn.
If you will, John Gruden and Roger, if you believe
the story, hated each other's guts and Gruden despised Roger

(05:06):
Goodell before Roger Goodell was the commission of the NFL.
Gruden's emails the emails that the New York Times and
the Wall Street Journal put out a couple years ago.
They contained the emails between him and some of his friends, racist, homophobic,
and misogynist. I think that's the big three remarks and
those were weaponized against Gruden because Gruden had enemies in

(05:30):
high places. Racist also states that Al Davis, who's been
dead for over a decade, Apparently Al's spinning in his
grave right now. He died in twenty eleven, but he
also played a role in his vitriol between John Gruden
and the league office. Now it goes into details, is
Mark Davis the spawn of Al and the polyester jumpsuit

(05:53):
wearing owner Al Davis his son. Mark Davis did not
want to fire John Gruden, but felt that he had
had no choice because of lesbian WNBA players and Carl
Nasseb the gay Raider. That he felt like it had
to do it because of what John Gruden had said
in the email league the homophobic stuff that that he

(06:15):
had to get rid of of Gruden. And so it
also lays out a map that says the email leak
was the final body blow that led the Dan Snyder
being forced to sell the Commander. So there's a lot
of stretching going on. It's a humdinger of a story,
and so to sum it up, it's it's really channeling

(06:38):
the spirit of a blues singer, Muddy Waters. My intuition
reading this John Gruden expos is that the NFL helped
facilitate the story, and while it certainly makes them look
petty and shallow as a league, it accomplishes the main
mission something bigger. I don't really care if you think

(07:01):
they're petty and shallow, and not that many people are
actually gonna read that story. Most people have a worse
attention span than a goldfish, so you're not gonna read
a wordy story about what goes on in the palace
intrigue of the NFL. You might hear some gasbag or
blow hard like you know, like me talk about it.
But the accomplishment is it helps torpedo John Gruden's lawsuit

(07:25):
against the Shield and Roger Goodell. It blurs the lines,
obfuscating what actually happened. Because if you read this story,
on one part of the story, you're gonna think, well,
de Marie Smith leaks some email. Then in another part
you're gonna be like na, Na, it was Dan Snyder.
And then there's someone else named Desire Perez. I don't

(07:46):
know who that is. She's apparently a CEO for Jay
Z's Rock Nation. Never heard of this person, but that
person also mentioned as someone who leaked some emails. So
the story does help undermine the John Gruden lawsuit as
he goes scorched earth against the NFL. But I'm pulling
for John Gruden. Why not? And we'll see how that

(08:09):
goes as he continues his legal fight, not backing down,
not backing down John Gruden. Now turning the page on that.
The next stop here, we're gonna go away from John Gruen.
We're gonna to Minnesota. The Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson was
recently asked to rank the top five quarterbacks in the NFL.
He said, we who cares about that? Well, it's it's

(08:32):
the perfect time of the now. I don't do this radio,
but Justin Jefferson does list radio the Viking hide receiver.
So Jefferson, who's by any account, any measurement, a top
five receiver in the NFL. But what about the quarterbacks?
So at number number one, he had Patrick Patrick Mahomes

(08:53):
as his number one. That's Kenny okay. Number two was
Arin Ragers, number three Joe Burrow, number four Jalen Hurts,
and number five Josh Allen. You know who's not on
the list? Ding Ning Ning Ning Nang, Yes, Kirk Cousins

(09:13):
who happens to play quarterback for who That's right, the
Purple people eaters. So how much trouble is Justin Jefferson
in for omitting Kirk Cousins his quarterback from his top
five list? So the amount of trouble that Justin Jefferson
is in is zero zero. The bluster over this story,

(09:39):
which is passed around a little bit, I find amusing.
The only name on that list that does not belong
there in real time is Aaron Rogers, because Aaron Rodgers
was not only a quarterback in Wisconsin last year, he
sucked at a time you cannot suck for Green Bay,
and by his account and by all accounts, he was

(10:01):
not that good. And head to head, Cousins, who did
not have a stellar year last year either was better
in most statistical categories head to head regardless. Justin Jefferson
in this story is like the Mulligan man. He gets
a mulligan, you get a mulligan, a big mulligan, and
another mulligan. Why he's good and when you're good, it
doesn't matter. Kirk Cousins will be feeding him extra targets

(10:26):
when the Vikings start playing. Because this story is just supterfuge.
All right, last war here, So let's move on. Franchise tag.
Oh it's so exciting. Less than a week away. Tell
me you're not a little excited. We're less than a
week away from the franchise tag extension deadline, and we
have the three Musketeers, the three Musketeers who have not

(10:47):
signed their franchise tender, Sequon Barkley of the New Jersey Giants,
Evan Ingram of your Jacksonville Jags, and from our Raiders,
Josh Jacobs. That's it. That's the list now. If no
ex extensions are inked by Monday four pm Eastern Time

(11:08):
Monday deadline, the three players, the three Musketeers will not
be obligated to show up to training camp, which starts
also for most teams next week. It's been floated that
Sequon Barkley is going to stay away from the Giants
and he will not show up and he'll miss week one,

(11:30):
that he will not be available. Giants open up in
a game that's gonna get a little juice against the
Dallas Cowboys, and that that is said to be in
serious pero in no extension likely to be agreed upon.
So level of concern. Level of concern about Sequon Barkley
missing the Giants opener on the Malard scale of worry

(11:54):
one to ten, with ten being oh my god, we're
screw Fode. I'm out of two. I'm out of two.
I look at this storyline, I look at the calendar,
and I say, this is artificially made. That's what I'm
I'm thinking on this one contrived for just before training camp.

(12:19):
Story could have been written four months ago. If Saquon
Barkley wants to leave money on the table, good luck, Mozletobe.
You're not a mensh if you do that. But we're
talking about a game shack. Now, I think of a
check as a reasonable of money, but when you're a
professional athlete, it's not a reasonable amount of money. It's
it's a lottery payment. Saquan Barkley every game shack five

(12:40):
hundred and sixty thousand dollars, so he would have to
walk away from over half a million dollars to make
some kind of stand against the man in the NFL.
I just made a lot of money. But I don't
care how much money you've made five hundred and sixty
thousand dollars unless you're Elon Musk or Zuckerberg, one of

(13:03):
those dopes. That's that's crazy money for one check. But
it's his right if he wants to pull a Leveon
bell and go ride the jet skis in Miami and
drink cocktails. Knock yourself out. You're not really that essential.
You're not even as good as Sekwon Barkley is with
those legs little like tree trunks. Every running back is replaceable.

(13:25):
In fact, just about everyone is replaceable because when I
started watching football, not a single one of those players
is still around, and they were all very important. Just
ask them and they would have told you how important
they are. It is the Ben Maeler Show. If you

Speaker 1 (15:55):
And the final voting is up now. We already voted
on the Malar POLLU what an ending. Marcel stepped in
there at the end. We did not think he had
an act, and then Marcell entered and it was very enjoyable.
I thought it was great. It was very close there
at the end. But the final four and you can
vote on the vote of the people, the pulse of

(16:18):
the people vote for the Mallet plus at twenty twenty

(16:42):
slot Matt from Nashville. He was the very first act
that we had controversial that Matt made the Top four.
The nose Trumpet guy. He played the trumpet with his nose.
He made his nose into a trumpet. It was amazing. Yeah,
Ohio Al also in there, Ohio. That was a recorded

(17:03):
tune that he sent in. Tremendous malur song. Malard theme song.
Mentioned a lot of the callers to the show, the
contributors to the show, the people that work on the show,
which we love when those get made. Pam in Seattle,
Pam's never called the show before. She called up on
this night on the Talent Show and she killed it.
She absolutely killed it with the viola, not violin, the

(17:29):
viola and she played a baseball tune. It was really cool,
well done, and we were like, wow, that was great
that we thought it was a recording. It was so good.
And the fourth and final finalist for the Malord Palouza
twenty twenty three Pulse of the people vote the Boston Burper. Now,
this guy did the malor oath, the oath for the show,

(17:52):
the entire thing burping. You gotta hear the podcast if
you didn't. And this guy almost died, the Boston Burper
almost died while doing it. And you can vote for that,
So good luck to all one will be declared the winner.
And the controversy was on Marcel's performance because Marcel and

(18:13):
Brooklyn got in there, and then there was a crooked judge.
At least that's what the email feedback. The email feedback
I got was, we got we got a crooked judge.
And well, I don't know that there's a crooked judge.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
But Chris, it's a terrible to say about Ben.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
Well.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
No, I I judged the proper way. But you and this,
if you're old, I think it was the German judge, right,
the East German judge. Isn't that what he used to
do back in the day, or the Russian judge. Yeah,
what Chris, you gave Marcel a zero? Is that right?

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Same? My name?

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Listen, he still doesn't know my name. He still doesn't
know who I am.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
He doesn't even know his Okay, I am going.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
To hold it against him.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Wow, I think you should be uh, I think you
should be removed as a judge.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Well, it's too late. The damage has been done.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
We can you're the host. You can just remove all
his scores.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Well, and then how about I'm the only one that votes?
How about that?

Speaker 4 (19:12):
That's fine?

Speaker 5 (19:14):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Really, you don't want to vote anymore any No?

Speaker 4 (19:16):
I will, But I mean, if that's what it takes
to have a fair and balanced jury.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
But I think it was fair and balanced.

Speaker 6 (19:22):
No, be anything but fair and balanced.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Well, Chris has put us in a tough bind here.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Well, if Chris had given him, am I correct with
the math on this coop? If Chris had given Marcel
a one, he would have made the final.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Four over there like the nose trumpet guy.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah, yeah, you would have edged out the nose trumpet guy.

Speaker 6 (19:41):
Yeah. I do believe that is the case.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
How do you sleep, Chris with that?

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Very easily and very carefully.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
This is hanging over your head right now.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
This is probably he would have needed a two from
U two.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
This is probably gonna keep Chris off of being Roberto's replacement.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I think you think this could affect long term viability
on the show.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
I don't see how couldn't.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, it is is devastating to fans of the show,
but you did it.

Speaker 7 (20:06):
In fact, this is his last night. I don't even
want to He's not even gonna be on the.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Show tomorrow, Is that right? All right? Chris, you're you're
banished at the end of the fight. Why don't you
leave right now? Chris? I just go right now? How
about that?

Speaker 8 (20:17):
I would prefer to actually do that, to be honest,
to go home and get some sleep.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
That sounds awful.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, who wants to sleep at night? I haven't slept
at night in the years. It's not Sleeping at night's overrated.
Sleeping during the day when it's a thousand degrees that's
where it's at. That's where it's at right there, when
it's really hot, that's the way to go.

Speaker 8 (20:35):
Unfortunately, I have some bad news on that front. I
would like to go home right now, but I just
got a text back and apparently nobody else wants to
do this show, so nobody's gonna come in to replace me,
So you're stuck with me for tonight.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, well that is true. Even the people on the
show right now don't want to do the show. So
that is accurate. That is an accurate portrayal. It is
the ban mailor show. Let's go to the phones and
a man. I got some emails about this guy. Why
wasn't this guy in the Talent Show? What happened? He's
one of my favorites. A former caller of the year.
Whoopy Pie Blair in the Great State of Maine. Hello,

(21:10):
whoopee pie Blair?

Speaker 9 (21:11):
Who yeah who?

Speaker 10 (21:13):

Speaker 9 (21:14):
That's right, Ben? You had Marcel talking a bunch of
bs on me. That's right. How dare you? What is
up with you? Ben? You know better than that to
let him do that to me. Come on, Ben.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Blair, why did you not enter the Talent Show? You're
a tremendously talented man. You're an entertainer people.

Speaker 9 (21:39):
You know, baby, you know it. You know I'm gonna
turman his talent. You know I got talent?

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Is it true?

Speaker 9 (21:49):
Anywhere? I got talent matter where? I didn't even know
about it until Marcelles started talking trash on me and
taking a song and.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Cells and even though it was the Talent Show.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Either so yourself and you're incriminating.

Speaker 9 (22:04):
No, freaking clues. Whoop in New York. That is the
trash bag. We can photo trash bag over his head
and I'll freaking throw him in a dumpster and sucking
dumpster thing over it and then just I don't care.
I'm just gonna throw it and then do it dumpster

(22:25):
and then it'd be all over. Blair, Shut the hell
up and it'll be all over.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
So Blair, you're incriminating yourself here, whoopy pipe Blair, because
we've been promoting the talent shows, what.

Speaker 9 (22:38):
Ben, what's shut up and listenings. I don't care about
freaking Marcel. I'm over them. I'm done.

Speaker 11 (22:46):
Talking.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
I'm not talking about Marcel. You're talking about Marcel.

Speaker 9 (22:51):
Because I'm finished. I have so many people bringing up
Marcel's name on my Facebook, live, on everything.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Are you doing things?

Speaker 9 (23:00):
The big job guys bring him up? And I'm finished.
I'm finished. I'm totally done with that freaking idiot. I
can't stand on this. I can't if I hear Marcelles,
let's get into a picks. I'm done. I'm done with
the food picks. God, you can change the food picks.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
So you're so upset with Marcella, you're gonna stop eating.
That's how upset you are with Marcel's.

Speaker 9 (23:26):
I don't a pizza. I'll tell you what the pizza
looked like before I even eat pizza. Oh my god,
A burger. Oh it's got bread before you even know
it's got bread over it. Come on, now, I know
what the hell my food looks like. I don't even
know it. And I know what the weather's gonna be tomorrow.

(23:49):
It's gonna be nice and sunny in me. My god,
we don't even know. We don't even need to know.
The freaking Marcel's is the fucking idiot you.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
I think, well to see Marcel's nod in his head.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah, doesn't care about Marcel at all.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
He got really worked up into a lather there. You'll
have to download the podcast to hear what he has
to had to say. There that final salvo that got
him knocked off the show, the final body blow from
our friend whoopee pie Blair. So this is how it works.
So Blair doesn't listen to the show anymore, but our
guys that listen to The Big Jab they let him know. They, hey,

(24:30):
you see what Marcel is, So they kind of needle
him and then he gets worked up and then he
has to call the show. I see how that works.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Hey, it's Ben, host of The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller.
Would mean a lot to have you join us on
our weekly auditory journey. You're asking, what in God's name

off of the Ben Mahler Show, a cult hit overnights

(25:05):
human nature and more. Listen to The Fifth Hour with
Ben Maller on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever
you get your podcasts. So new information out about the
celebrity fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, the guy that
was known as Chief Aholic online. He got dinged by
the Feds. They caught him in California the other day,

(25:25):
and some new information out. According to court documents, we
now know roughly how much money the Feds say that
Chief Aholics stole when he went on his Midwestern actually
not just Midwestern. He was all over the country, robbing
banks and bank robberies in several states Tennessee, Oklahoma, Minnesota,

(25:46):
and go down the list here of places he robbed banks.
At least they claim he robbed banks and so according
to the court documents that were just released. Actually, hold,
let me see if now keeping I don't know if
I want Eddie to play because Eddie's so bad at this.
I don't know because it'll go too high. How about Coop? Coope?

(26:10):
You want to play coop? You want to take a
guess how much Chifa Hollock is alleged to have stolen? Sure,
according to court documents, Yeah, okay, what do you think?
I remember, banks don't have that much money, and he
was robbing small town banks, So don't get crazy.

Speaker 6 (26:24):
How do can I know how many banks?

Speaker 1 (26:28):
I think the number they estimated was like five or six.
I think I think in multiply, it was all over
multiple states.

Speaker 6 (26:34):
I'm gonna say seven million, seven million.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Wow, I don't think six or seven banks have seven
million dollars of cash in them. You're worse than Eddie.
That's terrible. That's a terrible answer.

Speaker 6 (26:53):
I don't know what banks he went after.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
They were small town banks and like these little boondock
towns in Oklahoma. And anyway, now you've ruined the story, Coop,
You've now destroyed the story. So I don't even know
if she'd give the number.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Can I guess?

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Go ahead?

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Or am I still fired from the show?

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Well, you know, on your way out you can guess.

Speaker 8 (27:11):
Okay, sure, Uh, let's say. Let's see, did dignity math
in the head. I'm going to say about three hundred thousand.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
See, that's a reasonable answer. That's it.

Speaker 8 (27:22):
Most banks have like what fifty thousand to one hundred
thousand on hand profit.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Most Yeah, because people don't use cash anymore, so they
don't have a lot of cash. In fact, if you
go to the bank and want to get a lot
of cash out, a lot of times the banks won't
allow you to do that, or you have to set
an appointment and you have to go other places to
get the money. Anyway, the answer get to the point. Please,
So Chief Aholic, the famous Chiefs fan who was going
robbing banks according to the FEDS, is according to court documents,

(27:48):
he stole over eight hundred thousand dollars, over eight hundred
and forty thousand dollars he stole, robbing several banks.

Speaker 9 (27:58):
I'll dump those numbers out there are rookie numbers.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
It's not like the Old West where they have the
train heist and get all the gold Bouyon and all that.
It's not quite that. It is this the Ben Maler Show.
Keep going on the phones. Let's say hello to Tony
in the Bay Area. Hello, Tony, welcome, good to have you.

Speaker 10 (28:23):

I mean, Gretzy blew you off at a l e X.
I've heard it was a Denny's.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Hey, Tony the malt Palooza was last night.

Speaker 10 (29:12):
Tony, you didn't wake me up? What happened here?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Well, no, it's it's it's over, everything's done. You missed it.

Speaker 6 (29:22):
It's weird to say, but that was. That would have
been the Best Comedy Actor.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, you actually would have won the comedy category if
you had entered. Tony.

Speaker 10 (29:34):
Well, what did the bartender say to the paranoid nut job?

Speaker 6 (29:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (29:40):
Do you want a beer? Tony?

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Have you had any more dreams recently, Tony?

Speaker 10 (29:48):
I actually see I've only talked about dreams before with
you guys, but I actually had a nightmare that I
wanted to share, if you don't mind.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Most of your dreams do sound like nightmares. They don't
sound like dreams. They sound like nightmares.

Speaker 10 (30:00):
Now they were, they were dreams. But this one, actually,
i'll make it quick. I was on a beach with
some people and they say, hey, look across the street
at the zoo. There's two big giraffes. And then they say,
look at the penguin and there's this giant penguin like
the State pof marshmallow Man guy, you know, just a skyscraper,
and so it kind of freaked me out, like what

(30:22):
the hell is that thing? And then I look over
and my brothers recording some guy arguing with his girlfriend.
The guy starts talking to my brother like, hey, what
are you doing? So I run over there to you know,
put some hands on him, and the scuffle will happened
real quick now with me. By the time I got there,
got broken up, and I tried to smoke a cigarette,

(30:42):
but I was thinking I was in a public place.
I didn't know if I can get away with it
or not. And then I jolted out of my fleet.
So it's kind of thick talking.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
About this is the short version of story. Is that right?
So you jolted out of here?

Speaker 10 (30:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I woke up. So you know, if
you if you get jolted out of a you know,
it's pretty much a nightmare.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
So so let me get this straight though. You're like,
if there's a disagreement, your first move is to go
to hands. Is that your first move, not to try
to have a little diplomacy.

Speaker 10 (31:11):
You're you're going hands, Well, this was with my brother.
You ain't gonna mess with my brother in front of me.
Something's gonna happen bad for you, you know, I mean,
maybe maybe with me.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
You can your brother like I have brother? Can your
brother not defend himself? Is that what happened?

Speaker 10 (31:26):
Well? He could probably, I guess. I mean I've never
seen him in action, but I'm assuming you can.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, okay, all right, Well thank you Tony.

Speaker 10 (31:35):
Well Meller scale one to ten? What do I get?

Speaker 1 (31:40):
It's it's over the town shows over.

Speaker 10 (31:42):
Well you can still your your your scale broke all
of a sudden.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Come on, now, well it did break back many years ago.
But I that's a different story. See that's my joke,
a joke, but what it did. But yeah, I'll give you.
I'll give you an eight. How about that?

Speaker 10 (32:01):
You're right, Coop, he's got it in for me.

Speaker 1 (32:04):

Coop told me in my headphone.

Speaker 7 (32:10):
No no, no, no, don't believe anything he's about to
say say anything.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
He gave you two. Coop gave you two. I didn't
even rate you, and Eddie gave you a one. He
gave you the middle finger.

Speaker 7 (32:20):
I thought it was a ten. You've heard me say
that it would have been the best actor. I said
that for a hard one.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Not too too, you said too? Yeah, all right, hang
up on yourself, Tony, I gotta go right, thank you.

(36:17):
go to the phones, Andre and the Commonwealth is next.

Speaker 11 (36:20):
Hello, Andre, Good evening, then, how word Joys just wanted
to chime in on this situation with du Justin Jefferson
saying that Kirk Cousins is not a top five quarter
that's disloyal.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
You got to drop kick. Murphy's playing in the background.
We don't go for that here in Boston. Okay. If
one of the Patriots wide receivers was asked, okay, who
is the top five quarterback? I need to see Mac
Jones at five. I don't care what your inner sentiment is. Okay.
The reason that Boston is the number one sports city
in America, then it's because of the loyalty win loser draw.

(37:01):
We're supporting our team.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Well, hold on, hold on now, say, I understand your point.
But if Juju Smith Schuster came out and said, hey,
I think Mac Jones is a top five quarterback in the.

Speaker 11 (37:14):
NFL, that's what it's all about.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
No, no, you can't. I mean, come on, that's if
Aaron Rodgers at this point is not a top five
quarterback in the NFL, he's not.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
Okay, But it's that belief. And by the way, Ben,
you know, in terms of in terms of bets, I
gotta say they've they've given the Jets hard knocks.

Speaker 11 (37:32):
Okay, I saw that.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
It's official.

Speaker 5 (37:34):
It's official official, and I think that the hard knocks
team have one playoff win in the last fourteen years.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
Well, that doesn't that doesn't. Well, they usually put they
usually put bad teams on Hard Knocks. That's why they
usually put bad teams on there.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
But the Jets are a pseudo good team, and all
the way back to New England Patriots and loyalty.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
The Jets are not. The Jets are not a good team.
There are a team people think is going to be good.
They're a mediocre team.

Speaker 5 (37:59):
That's what they But what about the Patriots.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
The question is the Patriots are also a mediocre team.

Speaker 5 (38:05):
But Are they going to make the playoffs?

Speaker 11 (38:06):
That's I don't know.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
We'll find out
