all about that cowboys drama in Jerry's world. What's new

(01:12):
Stephen Jones influencing Jerry Jones to try to pick Brian
Schottenheimer as Cowboys head coach. We'll try to cut through
the fog in Jerry's world. Also, is Stephen Jones really
at loggerheads with Jerry over the money? Apparently Stephen Jones
doesn't want to spend any money. Jerry wants to spend
all the money. We'll talk about that. And an NFL legend.

(01:35):
Michael Irvin is upset with Taylor Swift and Caitlin Clark
for trying to make the.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Chiefs the New America's team. How do you assess that one.
We'll get to all of it and much more.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Right now, have a wonderful Friday, Enjoy your weekend, be safe,
enjoy the championship games on Sunday. Here it is our
number one. What seems so simple. All you have to
do is pick a new coach. This job is not
that difficult. Well, apparently it is.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Well come.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
In the beginning of another night of the Ben Maler Show,
we are in the air everywhere Companions, as we do
not mince words, coast to coast, border to border and beyond.
On the vast and unmeasurably powerful microphones of fsre am

(02:32):
mandating live from the ride the Bumpy Ride on the
Rocky Road, as we are broadcasting live from the tyraq
dot com.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
So we're doing it live.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Tiraq dot com will help you get there and unmatched election, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended in stallars.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
That's that's a lot. And I know Alf really thinks
that's a ton the pliner there. He just can't believe it.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
There ti raq dot com the way tire buying sure
be so our lead this hour is from the coaching carousel.
It is not the newest coach, Liam Cohne, who twenty
four hours ago had rejected Jacksonville and then said whip
psych head fake. I did the okie dope. I'm back

(03:24):
more on that later. But I'm in the ratings business, right,
I have to captivate. It's called broadcasting, not narrowcasting. So
in that case, what is going to get the biggest audience,
not not Jacksonville, not now, maybe later, But we begin
play the hits, my man, play the hits is our
obligatory malor monologue on Doug Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
That's right, the Dallas coupan.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I do this for sir, scratch Off, who loves when
I talk about the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
He can't get enough, he said, Ben, you know you
need to talk more about the Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Okay, here I am so the coaching searchard round the
football world. If you have not been following because you
actually have a life, maybe not.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
So.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
We are told now that the Cowboys search is zeroing.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
In on an in house candidate. They're gonna keep it.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Under the umbrella of Jerry's world. Brian Schottenheimer, Oh boy,
how is that possible? Now here's what we know, Cowboys
owner Jerry Jones. It has been widely reported by those
that claim to be in the know in the currency
of information that Jerry Jones is the loane conductor. He's

(04:37):
running the orchestra in this Cowboy coaching search. You would
think he's the GM, he's the owner. Why would he
not be the only person doing that? And then there
were names like Robert Salah, Kellen Moore, and Leslie Fraser
have been interviewed. However, the word on the street is
that it's his meddling son, Stephen Jones, that is driving

(05:00):
the campaign. The Marching and Chowder Society for Brian Schottenheimer,
a non descript spawn net bo baby NFL assistant to
get the head coaching job in Dallas.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
But wait, there's more.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
So Jerry Jones he wanted Dion Sanders, if you believe
the buzz. However, that is now on the back burner
because the sun the younger Jones here, who's sixty, so
he's not that young, but he is pushing for shoddy.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
That's what they call Schottenheimer. Shoddy.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
That would be a shoddy hire if they hired Brian Schottenheimer.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
More on that later.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
So let us discuss the question for the Esteemed panel,
which you are part of, Stephen Jones influencing Jerry Jones
to pick Brian Schottenheimer as the Cowboys head coach. Can
you cut through the fog, the thick fog that is
in Jerry's world? So I've got McDonald's buttered popcorn and crustables.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Sounds like a menu I used to eat back in
the day.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
All right, So we'll combine all these things together and
we are gonna make the Baba Ganoosh is what We're
gonna make the Baba Ganoosh.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
All right? So a this has gone as planned. Now
you might remember in a.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Previous episode of this show, we talked about the Cowboys
coaching search, and we pointed out what it's going to
be like, and not that we're right all the time.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
We're not.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
We f up a lot, but this one we got right.
Jerry Jones. You think about forty years ago, Jerry was
in his forties. He must have been a huge fan
of nineteen eighties primetime television. And this is the NFL
version of the soap opera Dallas. Everything revolving around the

(06:56):
affairs of the affluent Jones family.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
There's opolence there, there's there's glamor. I mean all kinds
of crafts.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
I mean, you've got Jerry's ranch somewhere out there, deep
in the heart of Texas, and this power struggle. This
is where we at are in the script for the
Cowboys offseason. So you've got the power struggle, You've got betrayal,
the son not listening to the dad. You've got I
guess romances. I don't think that's involved here, uh, and

(07:26):
just bigger than life cartoon characters here, there and everywhere.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
You've got the oil.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Tycoon Jerry Jones at the center of it all. It
is riveting, it is addictive and it again shows you
that Dallas continues to be the gold standard for the
drama O rama in the Yeah, and Jerry right now
he's trying to find He's looking for a hole somewhere.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
He's like, I got where's the hole? I need a
hole in one, That's what I want. Mason glory Hill.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, Well, Jerry Jones is like, you know you like
McDonald's right now, he's loving it, right, he is loving it.
Dufus is like yours truly talking about this and everyone
captivated in sports media as he is setting the narrative,
and he brags, right when things slow down around here,
Jerry said, he will stir it up.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
And things are always the rule of drama, more drawn out.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
They're more messy, unpredictable, complicated than they need to be.
But why on God's green Earth would Jerry Jones allow
his kid to usurp his authority and pick the next
coach Ryan Schottenheimer. That is a cheap ripoff version of
Mike McCarthy. Why didn't you just pay Mike McCarthy more

(08:42):
money and keep him around?

Speaker 1 (08:44):
All right? Meanwhile, Pastry, so Jerry Jones and his son,
we're going to spand on this.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
A little further, because there are multiple reports out there
that Stephen Jones the kid have clashed for the last
couple of years, and it's not only about the coach
higher but also about the finances of the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Now, Jerry, if you believe the.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Chatter, the streets are talking in the Naked City, and
Jerry wants to spend money with no limits, right, He
just wants to burn through the salary cap and spend, spend, spen, spend, spen, spence, spence, spence,
bend and spend spending just like that.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Right, a lot of money. But it's Stephen Jones who is.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
A fan of the dogma of moneyball, that plague on
professional sports, and he wants to avoid it. All costs
dead money from what I was hearing earlier, and he
does not want to mess up and screw up the
salary cap.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
So let's break this all apart the.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Chatter that Jerry Jones and his son Steven have been
at loggerheads over the Cowboys organizational philosophy. Do you find
this significant? So I do, and now I have no
skin in the game. I have no skin in the game.
But this is a warning shot. This is a bad omen,

(10:06):
it's a bad omen for the Cowboys. You think things
are bad now because you're about to hire if reports
are accurate, shoddy as your new coach.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
This is like getting a.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Bucket of popcorn, buttered popcorn, delicious movie theater, buttered popcorn.
You settle into your seat and it's a preview of
coming attractions. In a world where Jerry Jones heads to
a convalescent home and Steven Jones takes over the Cowboys
day to day, the Dallas Cowboys will then embark on

(10:38):
a journey of shoestring budgets, nickel and diming everyone. Things
are about to get very stingy in Dallas. It is inevitable.
You know it's coming. And as much as you loathe
Jerry Jones, as much as you might despise Jerry Jones,
I promise you Stephen Jones will be worse when Jerry

(11:01):
Jones is gone.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Okay, it is one.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Hundred percent true old family money in professional sports. These
professional sports leagues have been around, most of them for
about one hundred years or so. Baseball has been around longer,
and a number of these teams are generational wealth teams.
They get passed from one generation to another, and it's
never the same. When the original owner dies, it only

(11:29):
gets worse. Now, what is my evidence? When I was
a kid, it was the greatness of our.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Writers with Al Davis.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Now they've got Mark Davis, who all he's good at
is getting the special at PF.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Chang's.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
That's what he's good at. When I was a kid,
you had George Steinbrenner, the boss. Nobody messed is with
the boss. He'd hire and fire managers because he just
felt like it. He got out of bed the wrong way.
Now you've got hal Steinbrenner, a cheap rip off of
the old man. How about the once proud Lakers. Remember
that Jerry Buss, doctor Jerry Busse. He had a harem

(12:08):
of young women all over him and the Lakers were showtime.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Now they've got Genie Buss.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
They suck and she you know, she's still hanging out there.
And it's old family money owning a sports team. When
you're the second generation and you didn't create it, you
didn't buy it. You have a license to run a
business that allows you to pocket millions and millions of dollars.

(12:36):
It's passive income, is what you don't have to worry
about it. It's like, hey, you've got a built in audience,
people that grew up loving it your team because of
your parents. Your dad would ever owned the team, and
now you own it, and now you can run into
the ground. All right, last word, So let's go back
a little deeper in the land of cowboy paranoia. Michael Irvin,

(13:01):
the playmaker, cowboy legend. Michael Irvin. Now for some reason,
out of thin air, Out of thin air, Michael Irvin.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
He was on some podcasts. There's a million, even I
have one.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
So Michael Irvin ripped Taylor Swift and Caitlyn Clark for
attending the game in Kansas City last weekend.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
And he took a shot at.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Taylor Swift and Kitlyn Clark for trying to make the
Chiefs the New America's team.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
So how do you assess this one?

Speaker 2 (13:34):
So my grandfather would say, stick a lot is what
that is, right, stick, extra thick, stick is what it is.
Michael Irvin sitting down at the table and he's eating
some crustables, but peanut butter and jelly. No peanut butter,
just the jelly. He's just a little jelly here and

(13:55):
right now in this moment, Kansas City is the hottest
thing going in the NFL because you've got a lot
of people that love them, and you got a lot
of people that hate them.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
And that's what you want, right.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
You want to be a lightning rod and you want
to be a firebrand. And that's what the Chiefs have become.
People watch to watch them lose, they get upset when
they win. They've got this neurosis that everything's rigged for
the Chiefs, and the NFL wants Market thirty one to
win in the National Football League and win a third
Super Bowl in a row. Now, that's what's going on

(14:29):
right now. But when you take a couple of steps
back and you look around and you take a deep breath,
only the test of time will tell does this have
staying power? Does this go from a fad which is
a temporary thing, to a trend which will stick around?

(14:49):
And at this point you still have it in the
fad category, because at some point Mahomes will get old,
Andy Reid's going to retire, and then will people still
watch and support the Chiefs. I will tell you the
forty nine Ers glory days were in the nineteen eighties
and early nineties, and they've been blah. They've had a

(15:11):
couple of teams that got to a Super Bowl. They
gagged in the Super Bowl, But there are generations of
forty nine er fans because of.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
That would happen.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
We're on like the second or third generation now from
what happened in the nineteen eighties. So if you do
the math on that, the Chiefs will be guaranteed to
have a solid built in fan base. And even if
it stopped this year till what, what are we looking
at like twenty.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Sixty five, twenty seventy.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Boy, that sounds might go I'll be long gone probably
by then, But that's what we're looking at, right, that's
what we're looking at all right. It is the Ben
Mahlor Show. And if you would like to be part
of this, you can be part with a lot of calls.
I think, I don't know, maybe not who knows you guys,
let me I'll say, yeah, oh yeah, that's my mayor

(16:10):
right there. See that's the mayor in Philadelphia. I'm all
about that action with that man. That's my favorite mayor
this week. Ask me next week. I'll probably give you
a different a different mayor. Eight seven, seven, ninety nine
on Fox eight seven, seven, nine, nine, six sixty three
sixty nine. If you would like to be part of
the big radio program later on. In our two we'll

(16:33):
have Mallard of the third Degree, and in our our
number three will have.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Lame Jokes of the week.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
We've got the Koop Scoop on entertainment time permitting, we
will have Sports Jeopardy in our number four.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
So all of that to look forward to is we
work our way through the.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Over night hours and someone in the NFL becoming a
ghost and people loving the fact that this person became
a ghost.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
In the NFL. What is that all about. We'll get
to it and we will do it next.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Right over there. FSR tech Queen, FSR tech Ripe. Bill
no talking to me. Let's get back to the show.
That's right.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
And Bill does not like to talk to anybody Loraine.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
I don't know why. He's a complete introvert.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
He's an aar no loser, schmuck all of that, and
he did not promote the TV show. It will be
a new episode. It's actually started to air already. It
started airing on Thursday night. But it'll make its maiden
voyage on the Hub of Benny Versus the Penny NBC
Sports Boston later on here on Friday, so check. I

(18:51):
think we'll be on early because the Celtics played back
to back here and they don't play on Friday, so
I think we'll be on earlier. I haven't checked the
schedule yet. Bad job by me, But anyway, that will
be this weekend. But we got the live radio show
right now as we navigate our way through the overnight hours.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
We began with a cowboy.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Heavy mald monologue family drama in Dallas, as Stephen Jones,
trying to upstage his dad and take control of the Cowboys,
wants to save all that money so he can spend
that money on exotic vacation. Milkman Mike and Colorado writes
and says a plus on the opening monologue, I think
Michael Irvin is more pissed that the Cowboys are irrelevant

(19:30):
and looking to focus his anger.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
As for.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Chefty and the Chiefs, he says, I see it more
like Coward Stern when he started either you hate or
loved him, but you listened. He says, so, all right,
he met Swift. He misspelled Taylor Swift. But I don't
know what I said there. I think I said what
he wrote, but he meant Taylor Swift. Well, this is
my argument. I've ranted about it. The NBA right now

(20:00):
going through a tough stretch for many reasons. The players
don't want to play. The product's bad during the regular season.
Is Papa shot all they do is shoot three points.
Bad product. But the other problem is there's no pure
dominance right now. It's like every year you get a championship,
then the next team gets a championship. And sports are
better when there's a dynasty, like the Dodgers are now

(20:22):
a dynasty. They're becoming a dynasty in baseball. One in
twenty seventeen, won half a championship in twenty eighteen, one
in twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
They just won again here in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
So that's a dynasty for the Dodgers, and they've signed
all the good players.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
So people hate the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
So people will either watch because there's a lot of
Dodger fans that will watch the Dodgers because they want
to see the Dodgers win, or they're going to watch
to see the Dodger lose and they'll get excited about that.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
But either way, you're gonna watch.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Much like Kansas City, there's a lot of people shock
they have this this fascination, this fetish with Mahomes and
Kelsey and want to see them losing all that, and
so anytime there's a fifty to fifty call that goes
the way of the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
It's frig gets rigged all that stuff, so it's good.
It's a solid thing.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Eugene in Chicago rights in says, Hey, Malor, I think
the La Rams defensive coordinator.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Will be we'd be good wearing a Chicago Bear logo
in September. Yeah, baby, let's keep the good luck going
in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Well, Eugene, I know you've been a big supporter here,
Egene in Chicago of the show, and I want to
congratulate you. It looks like the in your eyes, the
Bears have won another offseason title.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Congratulations.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's now three years in a row the Bears have
won an off season championship. Now, remember three years ago
the crowned Justin Fields the off season MVP. Boy, that
was great. He won the off season MVP Trophy. All
the TV pundits said Justin Fields is going to be
the breakout star for the Chicago Bears. He went out
there and was mid and then they got rid of him.

(22:00):
And then the Bears won the offseason last year because
they got Caleb Williams, who's got the nicest fingernail painting
in the NFL. And then he went out there and
was sacked sixty eight times because he has no clue
how to play quarterback at the professional level. He's incompetent
it getting rid of the ball quickly. And now here
we are again. The Bears have hired a hot shot
offensive play caller from the Detroit Lions. And so everything's good,

(22:22):
everything's great, everything's wonderful. And coom by y'ah, coombay y'ah.
Now I'm waiting for my board to be reset. I
don't know it's Coopier tonight or did he not show up?

Speaker 4 (22:31):
I don't know what happens.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Is he in the bathroom or something like that. I
don't know. Maybe he's not. I don't know. I don't
know what's going on.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Anyway, we'll take your calls eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three
six ' nine if you would like to be part
of said program.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
And we'll take your riveting, riveting phone.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Cause we began, as I said, with the hot Dallas
cowboy talk about the situation there in Dallas. King Roy
writes and says, are you saying that if a popular
celebrity starts showing up the football games, the team they
root for might become America's team. Let's hope the Carolina
Panthers don't get successful, because then with Gunner's popularity and influence,

(23:20):
they might become America's team.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
I've already said this, Ben, I just want to point
this out. Back when last year when the Kansas City
Chiefs won, I was like, they have won too many times.
They are going to take the name of America's team
from the Cowboys. And as a Cowboys fan, it was
kind of egregious for me to say such things.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Yes, but I know you love the Cowboys. I know
you're all about them. Who's who's the offensive?

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Fordam already know that I love them so much, And
I know all their names.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
I know, I know. We don't need names up right.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
We don't need to look their names up to prove
myself to you.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Ben, Names are not important. Names are not important. Ferg
dog rights and says great popcorn analogy. Ben really made
your point for us simpletons to understand. Also, are you
aware that ALF is an acronym for alien life form?

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Thank you for that, Nathan writes, So, speaking of the Chiefs,
they got better when Clark Hunt took over after Lamar Hunt.
But I'm sure They're just an exception to your monologue
one out of ten. Well, Nathan, I know you love
the Chiefs and you don't want to hear this, But
according to NFL players, Clark Hunt is a tightwad owner
who doesn't spend money on the team facilities.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
They did a survey. They did this.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Every year NFL players vote on team facilities, and the
Kansas City Chiefs, despite all this success, are not thought
of in the eyes of NFL players as a model franchise.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
They are thought of as a cheap ass franchise.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
So I wouldn't put Clark Hunt in the good category
because he fell in to Andy Reid, who then decided
to draft Patrick Mahomes. It's not quite not quite how
that works. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, who else
you have?

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Scrooge? Right? Since?

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Is? The Cowboys know they suck, They will always suck,
and they will continue to suck.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Here you go play hot right.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Sin says he has sources not close to the situation
who tell him that Stephen Jones wants to promote the
equipment manager to the offensive coordinator. Hey, I would take
the joy if listen if stevehn Jones he's probably up
late listening because if I was making the decision Stephen
Jones was making, I wouldn't be able to sleep either.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
And we're on all over Dallas.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
So Steven, if you're listening right now, I am throwing
my name into the hat. I love my job here
and doing the Overnight show. It's a lot of fun,
the weekend podcast, the seasonal TV show. But I would
give it all up for a nice five year, fully
guaranteed contract and I would be a special teams coach,
offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, any of those jobs.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
I'm down. I'm down. Be a great story. You can
make a reality show about it.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Guy leaves the exciting sexy world of overnight talk radio
to go work for the Dallas Cowboys. What a great
docu series that would be. Netflix would sign up a
big money for it, big, big, big money. All right,
let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to

(26:21):
helmet Man, who's in Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
And he did not call there he is.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
He did not call when the Ravens were eliminated from
the playoffs, but he is calling now.

Speaker 5 (26:37):
Of the league. Blood that's in the council of the
Broncoven tenths of a consistence of Ron Goldsman's blood.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Oh, we're getting an update. Hold On, I said, we
like to pause here. This is a live update on
the O. J. Simpson murder trial. As helmet Man is
our embedded reporter with the latest information.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
So you're talking about blood in the bronco. Is that accurate? Right? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (27:07):
Pins of a trick only found in the concealed area
of the bronco.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
And whose blood was that? Who's blood between?

Speaker 5 (27:17):
Important to doctor Biden and doctor Henry Lee. The perpetrator
would have been full of blood five to fifteen minute battle.
O'roon Goldman to try to say this like it was
a five This fight was so serious, five to fifteen minutes.

(27:40):
There were cheese pages, gloves flying off, a hat or
what they call a bee and other stuff flying off.
Would have been full of blood for a five to
fifteen a minute struggle to doctor Henry Lee and doctor Ball.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
You took notes on this again.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
If you're just tuning in, this is our live coverage
Fox Sports Radio exclusive.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
We are giving you a live.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Information on the nineteen ninety five murder trial of O. J.
Simpson in US Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Our correspondent is helmet man, how long is this? I
feel like he's been watching this for like two months.
It was a long trial. It lasted a long time.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
And one of my buddies, this guy, Norm Peters, was
a good friend of mine.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
He was in the courtroom for the O J.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Trump seven. Is that a drop? He keeps saying that,
Is that a drop? That's him saying that. Why do
you keep repeating that, helmet it? What are you doing?

Speaker 5 (28:47):
Ron Goldman Bland only found in the Bronco. The press
in the media was they found out Bronco was Coe
the prison. The media, the preson the media was waiting
to try to find out. All that they heard on

(29:08):
the news was it's supposed to be all this blood.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Wow, and and uh.

Speaker 5 (29:15):
John Marian who works for Pure Pots ron John Moran
said he looked everywhere, looked in the county, looked in
the back seat, he looked here, he looked at He
said he didn't see any blood. Mariah said that.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Wow, this is John. Can you can you send that out?
On X?

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Nobody covered the OJ trial when it happened on X,
so we're gonna be the only one that's true. Right,
I mean it didn't exist, so we were the only
we are ahead of the curb.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Here on the Ben Mather Show.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
We broke the we broke, we broke the Titanic story.
Remember that Marcel had that school the Marcel and Brooklyn
had the story of the Titanic hitting the Iceberg. Nobody
else had that on radio. Radio didn't exist when that happened.
And now here we are Helmet Man with a live
blow by blow reporting, who do you think is winning
the OJ trial right now?

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Helmet Man?

Speaker 5 (30:12):
Uh? The defense?

Speaker 1 (30:15):
The defense?

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Is it a low scoring trial or a high scoring trial?

Speaker 1 (30:22):
High scoring trial? Media coverage, a lot of media coverage.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
Yeah, and the Ravens they, I don't know. You can't
blame one slip catch and then just why not?

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Why can't you blame one? Why can't you do that?
We do it all the time.

Speaker 5 (30:43):
Effort, it's a team's effort. That's a natural cause.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
You don't.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
You don't work for the Ravens. You're not employed by
the team. You can be honest here and then in
real life there's a team. But if one person on
that team f's up, the team loses. That's how it works.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
I know, but it was it's an untimely catch.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Have you ever heard the phrase, helmet man. Have you
heard the phrase hemmer man. Loose lips sink ships.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Right?

Speaker 2 (31:08):
If one person right, one person on that boat says
the wrong thing to the wrong person, it causes the
boat to sink.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
How about that?

Speaker 5 (31:18):
Yeah, because Lamar was saying that he worked it. He
worked at the get back where he was and he
was doing well and leads them to the playoffs. But
one man's mistake, you just can't blame one person.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Well, one man's mistake is another man's victory. And in
this case, that would be the team from Buffalo that
is getting ready to play the team from Kansas City.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
The thing is, it's oh, Michael, you're repeating yourself. I
just did. I just did.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
I'll do it again on Somebody will screw up on
Sunday for both games, and I'll blame them. That's what
I do. I get paid. I play the blame game
every weekend. I play the blame game on the radio.
Thank you, helmet man. Get back to the trial. Keep
us updated.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Wow, I'm actually on the live air. Yes, you're on.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
The guys like Colin Cowherd and these other guys can
have breaking news, but we have the real breaking news
overnight those other shows. Can you think Coward ever broke
anything in the OJ trial, Hell no, This show breaks
stuff in the OJ trial.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Well, in an emergency.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Kind of like when you get a call like that,
but in a serious emergency, like during the fires that
have been sweeping through Los Angeles over the last couple
of weeks. You want Rapid Radios instant push to talk

Speaker 1 (32:49):
We have a new coach in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
We'll talk more about this later, but Liam Cone, the
offensive coordinator for the Buccaneers, who was a long time
disciple of Sean McVay, has become the head coach in Jacksonville.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
And the story took an awkward turn. It was played.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Out from NFL insiders that had the scoopage. So Cone
turned down the Pride of Rhode Island. He turned down
the Jacksonville head coaching job on Wednesday, so that okay, fine.
So then on Thursday, it was reported he had agreed

(33:31):
to become the highest paid offensive coordinator to stay in
Tampa Bay, and then there were stories that he was
ghosting the Buccaneers.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
He didn't get back to him. Man, I hate it.
When I was dating and girls would do that, I
got so I hated the worst.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
You should never ghost someone.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Right, Don't be a ghost, you know, just tell him
you're not enjoy it or make me. I enjoyed that
when I was dating women and they said I have
a headache, I enjoyed that better because at least they
lied to me. And you know, who has twenty two
years old? How many headaches can you possibly have? I
can't play anyway, But uh no, I mean the whole
ghost thing. So he was ghosting Tampa while he was
debating and contemplating whether or not to take the Jacksonville job,

(34:13):
which he did end up taking, so he didn't get
back to him. I try not to ghost people, but
sometimes I don't check my phone for a while. I
try to stay away from the phone.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
You can't feel bad for unintentional ghosting, Ben.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Yeah, that's right. See that's what I'm That's my point.
Sometimes it just kind of happens that way. Time nowt
for the who am I?

Speaker 1 (34:33):

the second inning, and he snuck back in in the
third inning, something along those lines. And it was pretty
funny because he got kicked out again because there were
