Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka, it's our number to our number two
is ready for you. And one of the big storylines
over the weekend the Texas Longhorns losing by a touchdown
to Ohio State. Did quarterback Arch Manning get exposed? Or
is this just a masterclass on defense by the Buckeyes,
(00:22):
the reigning champions? And do you feel bad for arch
Manning having the immense pressure in Austin? And should we
wait till the end of the season to judge him?
That's what his coach says. And is there a redemption
arc for arch Manning? Or is this the beginning of
a bust narrative for the next in line for the
(00:44):
Manning family? And did arch Manning play himself out of
the Heisman Race? We'll tackle all of those questions right
now in our number two, the Arch Death March.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
What was that? My God?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahler Show.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
We are in the air everywhere as we burst into speech,
and we have big, amazed balls to talk about coast
to coast, border to motor and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
On the vast and excessively powerful microphones of FSR amminating
live even on a labor day, as we are from
the post, the Trading Post, which is always open for
business in the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as
approved by Viva Los Vicki and Shane the truck driver
stuck in a fog bank in South Dakota questioning the
(01:40):
time space continuum right now. This portion of the Ben
Maler Show made possible in part by our friends.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
At ti Iraq. For over forty years.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation Tire.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
The Way Tire Buying.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Show would be So don't bear the lead mo Man,
one of our old bosses like to say, so, we'll
start with this the Horseshoe. There was the game, the
game of the weekend in college football, as number one
in Texas, traveling with the Buck Guy State to match
up with the reigning champions. Although there is no carryover
(02:24):
rosters change, coaching staff change, but there they were number
three Ohio State playing hosts to Texas and the much
baallyhooed matchup.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Were you watching, you were not of course you were.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It was a day to forget for the Longhorns, all
the build up, all the anticipation, and they went out
there and what was that? Could not really do much
of anything on offense for the entire game, only seven
points the buck guys defense ruling the roost a fourteen
(02:58):
to seven slop knocker of a win in Columbus for
the Buckeyes of Ohio State. Your subplot, though, that is
where the story is. Let's not kid oursos Well do
you talk just about Ohio State. That's not where the
good story is. The good story. You know where the
good story is arch Manning. And I'm glad I got
(03:18):
those monologues in the last couple of weeks about arch Manning.
Holy crap, that guy sucks man What a turd. Arch Manning,
Let's call it like it is here.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
That's that's the guy everyone's been hyping up. Arch Manning.
Are you kidding me? Wow? So arch Manning.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
He was the consensus Heisman Trophy favorite, which tells you
nobody knows anything.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Dumb du dum, dumb dumb.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
There he was all the hype and got out there,
arch Manning and it was his world. And how did
he do like a house of cards, came tumbling down, down, down,
down down. He crumbled under the weight of the immense pressure. Now,
if you add up all of the yards, he ended
up with two hundred and eight total yards. Although the
numbers are even leading, even the final numbers are misleading.
(04:02):
Arch Manning ending up with one hundred and seventy yards,
ten rushing attempts for thirty eight yards, and a loss.
To begin as a starter in Austin his first job
as the starter, he started a couple of.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Games last year, but he was not the man.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Now he's the man, and now he is a loser
to begin his time with Texas. So question, as we
discussed the question, did arch Manning get exposed by Ohio
State or was this just a masterclass by the buck
guys defense in this particular game. So I've got commandeered
biblical and crayon, and we will combine all of these things.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Together and we are going to make your.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Babushkas favorite favorite chocolate, favorite chocolate. So number one, I said,
number one.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Arch Manning.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Let's call it like it is. Everyone was watching. He
was the story and it was like junior high school.
And he got panned he got panted. All of college
football going wild and all my god. Manning's debut it
went over about it, well, his debut was a full
time starter for the Texas Longhorns. Was about as successful
as when Google put out Google Glass. Do you remember
(05:15):
that a few years back? Google Glass? Nobody really wanted it,
it did.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It was terrible.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You want to go old school Coca Cola back in
the day they said we're gonna change Coca Cola new Coke.
And that was a nightmare. That was a disaster and horrific, horrific.
That's what it felt like. All the hype, all the sizzle,
all the build up, everything, and then the curtain went
up and the flag is up, let's start the race.
(05:43):
And turns out the car did not leave the starting gate.
Man you waited for that whole Maning kid thing to
take off right the next in the.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Lineage or the Manning family.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
There.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
He was supposed to walk on water. He's a Manning.
That's what Manning's do. They walk on water. Instead, Arch
Manning went out there and he sank like if you
drop a safe in the East River in New York,
right to the bottom, right to the bottom. How bad
was it. So Manning commandeered the vomit comet. He was
(06:17):
right there. He was in the front of the comet,
right there, flying the vomit comet. Now, because the final
numbers are very misleading, because you've got to look at
the context of the game. For the first seventy five
percent of the I you saw it. You know what
I'm about to say. So the first three cores of
the game, Arch Manning completed nine of fifteen passes for
thirty eight yards. Thirty eight yards passing going to the
(06:41):
fourth quarter against Matt Patricia, the lion trash, Matt Patricia,
the old rocket Scientists on the Patriots, Matt Patricia's Buckey's defense,
which came out like a Boa constrictor.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Did they play well? Yes they did?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But how much of that is on arch Manning? And
how much of that is that this is just a
good defense. Listen, You're supposed to rise to the challenge.
Isn't that what all this is about, right, athletic competition,
rising to the challenge in the moment, getting it done.
And what is arch man twenty? I think it's twenty one.
I believe he's been around a couple of years. There.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You drop him in there, whatever it is, you drop
him in there, and.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
He's got the last name Manning, he's got the pedigree,
and you dangle him. It's like dangling a raw stake
in front of a pit bull for that buck guy's defense.
And they were not just playing arch though Ohio State.
It was not just a matchup against Arch Manning. They
were playing the mythology of the Manning family and all
that had been out there, the mythologies. You said, well,
(07:42):
it's not helping Arch Manning. At this point, they he
did not play well. Texas lost the game. All they
scored seven points. You have to step up on the
big stage. He did not step up on the big stage.
You think of this like a pipe, right, pipe's out
there and they often will burst from pressure. I guess
Arch Manning is a US steel pipe that got a
(08:03):
lot of pressure and just burst.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And that's it. Clare.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
He's drowning from flop sweat in this game. And the
excuse makers are out there, they're like, well, it's not
his fault, just guy's fault, that guy's fault, blah blah
blah blah blah, and the Manning name Page two here
I've seen some of the Manning name conversation. Well, he's
wearing a giant bullseye. It's not fair to him, and
everyone wants to be the guy who exposes Arch Manning,
(08:29):
and Ohio State's already done that, exposing him as overrated,
over rated. Well, so do you feel bad? Here's the question.
Do you feel bad for Arch Manning having the immense
pressure for the Texas Longhorns and not living up to
the immense pressure. So I'll go first here, absolutely not,
(08:50):
absolutely not. And it is a privilege to be in
that situation, to have the keys to a big time
college football program granted a rather spot resume for Texas
for many, many years. But still you're in there, and
this is your opportunity. You're giving the keys to ride
the very expensive automobile. And that's life in the big city.
(09:11):
And in many ways, this is a biblical story as
old as time. Right, You've got the Manning family, Gibbeth
and the Manning family take it away. So how am
I supposed to sit here and feel bad for Arch Manning?
The Golden Arch, not the Golden Arches, that's something else,
that's a fast food restaurant, but the Golden arch arch Manning,
who I believe the number I saw was he makes
(09:34):
six point eight million dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
In nil money.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Six point eight million for arch Manning without having to
earn any of it. He didn't get the money after
he showed that he could play. He got the money
based on what he got, the money based on D
and A. And he's not even the son of Peyton
or Eli. People sometimes confuse that, no, no, no, he's
he's he's the other Manning brothers kid, and he played
(10:03):
like the other Manning brother kid in this game. But
think about that. You're in your early twenties, you're arch Manning.
You're making roughly one hundred and twenty three times what
the average American salary is to go out and play
college football at Texas. And how's the return on investment
the r OH I going for the Texas Longhorns and
(10:26):
the money the Boosters are paying because it's coming out
of the Boosters payroll. Imagine like you're sitting in the
front row, you're at the Rolling Stones back in the day.
You're at the Rolling Stones there and Mick Jagger says,
you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna send out my
I'm gonna send out my roady to sing satisfaction. I'm
just gonna send them out and see what we can do.
You'll be like, well, no, I paid, I paid for
(10:47):
your old wrinkley ass to sing. I didn't pay for
your your roady to sing. Well, no, I mean that's
what happened. Not much bang for your buck. Not a
lot of bang for your buck. Is arch Manning goes
down the comet, the vomit comet on fire, down down,
down down now now final point. So I saw this
quote by Steve Sarkisian. Sark Now, I have a bit
(11:12):
of a history of Sarkisan going back to many many years.
I will not get into that here. I will not
bore you with the past. But the quote from Steve Sarkisian,
the former drunk USC coach. He said the expectations were
out of control on the outside. Sarkisian said, but I'd say,
let's finish the book before we judge it, he said
(11:34):
of arch Manning. Quote continues, this is one chapter, and
we've got a long season to play, to go play,
said Steve Sarkisan close quote. Okay, so he's like, hey,
you know, it's one chapter. It's early on and let's
hold off on that. So should we wait? Should we
(11:54):
wait until the end of the season to judge arch
Manning said fair to dogpile on top of arch Manning
at this particular point. So my response is, what is
this the is Oprah back with her book club? Like,
what do we have to wait to the end of this?
That's not exactly how any of this works. We're not
(12:14):
waiting for the book to be in bookstores. We're not
doing that.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
We judge.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
The great thing about this job is we judge every
chapter of the book. After every chapter of the book,
every paragraph of the book. We're there, every typo, everything,
everything in the footnotes. We're examining all of that. And
that's the gig. That's the job description here. That's how
it goes. You don't drop a Manning name into the
(12:43):
sec frying pan, right and then ask for a grace
period like you're actually like cooking some kind of crock
pot recipe or something like that.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's that's not how it goes.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Arch Manning hit the debut chapter as a starter forget
About last year, and they played a couple of games,
started a couple of games last year.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
A starter.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Arch manning debut chapter was it read like it was
written in.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Crayon, like by a four year old in crayon.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And you want to wait till the season's over, right, Well,
we'll wait till the season's over.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That's what Sarkesian says. Oh, we'll wait till the season's over.
But first, the.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Problem is we have a talk show to do every
single day, every day.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
We're not librarians. We're not waiting for the book to
get out there. No, no, no, We're lunatics with microphones,
is what we are. And so that's our worst. And
the hype was a hot air balloon for arch man
Was I guilty of it?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I love a good story. I'm I'm all about the story,
and I bought into it. And he made me look
like a donkey, a total jackwagon the way arch Manning
went out there and played. But it's a hot air balloon.
And then all of a sudden, there's a problem. The
thing catches on fire. It was noseedied right into a
cactus patch, is what arch Manning did in that first
game in Columbus. And you can sell you know, the
(14:00):
the Maning nonsense and all this stuff. But you gotta
read the fine print, and I guess it was written
in an invisible ink. Now is there a redemption arc
for arch Manning or is this the beginning of a
bust narrative that will not end? So it is obviously
a bust narrative at this particular point. There's no if,
(14:21):
sans or butt's about it. It's a bust neartive and
it's up to arch at this point. How this is
gonna go. If it's a comeback story, you gotta do
it against better opponents that you played Ohio State. That
is a measuring stick game, and you went out there
and you didn't measure up.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Texas scored seven points.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
So if you go out there, if you're arch Manning
and light it up against nowhere, you and some of
these other crappy teams that are on the schedule, okay, fine,
and then you're gonna get into the Southeastern Conference. And
what's gonna happen? The manager, you've been telling me for years,
this is royalty. This is football royalty. And royalty gets
it's knocked down, and the Kingdom it doesn't obviously crumble overnight.
(15:05):
When royalty gets knocked down. It's the Shakespearean set up summer,
predicting that you'll have the fall, the humiliation, and then
the redemption and you rise back up, or you don't
have that and you have bust with a capital B.
And that opening performance. That opening performance was space shuttle
(15:26):
like and one of the most traumatic events of my
childhood when we all rallied around the television to watch
the Challenger take off, and then they had this thing
called the O ring.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I didn't know what an old ring was.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I was a kid at the time, but I learned
what an old ring was, and the O ring causes
your shutole, the old kaboom. Yeah, yeah, it's a small crack,
big explosion. Small crack, big explosion. So the other thing
is did arch Manning. Did arch Manning play himself out
of the Heisman race after one game? So I would say, Heisman,
(16:02):
forget about it. We do the show today, and today
you'd have to say, there's no chance, cancel Christmas, no
gifts for arch Manning, that dream dead. Today's labor day.
As we're doing the show in real time, Dad Dad, Dad,
Dad Dad. The Heisman voters they're gonna remember this, this
was a big game and you're gonna have to win
two big games to make up for this.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
If you're arch Manning, you're gonna have to.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Outperform two of the better opponents Texas has down the
line in order to make up for this performance, and
you're gonna have to be relatively great.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
The rest of the season.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
But the Heisman voters are not gonna sit around and say, oh,
you know, I remember that time that arched through for
one hundred and seventy yards and had almost nothing through
three quarters against Ohio State. Let me give him the
hardware anyway, let me give him the trumpe. No, that's
not that's not gonna happen, So forget about that.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
If he rattles off a ten game heater and arch
Manning is cooking and throwing three, four or five touchdowns
a game and he comes back swinging, we can revisit
this conversation, but we're doing the conversation today. And if
he does end up turning things around. You said about
baptism by fire all that stuff, But what I saw,
(17:16):
I was like, oh, man, I remember like some of
the college quarterbacks who got a lot of hype and
didn't really live up to the hype, and then I
thought some other guys in the NFL. I know this
is college is not the NFL, but one of them
related to the Manning family connected at the hip. And
that was when Peyton Manning. There was a great debate
should Peyton Manning or this guy named Ryan Leaf be
the top pick of the draft years ago and we.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Know what happened.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Saw a lot of Ryan Leaf two point zero in
Arch Manning. He had the Manning name plate, he had
that going for him, but the rest of it not
so much. Now either way, we are going to find
out fast. In fact, someone say we've already found out,
but we'll find out fast. If Arch Manning is the
heir to the throne. Didn't look like it at all
against Ohio State, or if this is just some kid
that showed up to the coronation and you know we're
(18:04):
in the crown and then tripped on the red carpet,
got a bloody nose, and it's just a hot mess
because it looked like a real hot mess, real, real, real,
just disgusting.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And did did get some good memes out of it,
which was good. Had some good jokes at the expense
of Arch Manning. Some of them I enjoyed quite a bit.

we got a big fight coming up between Crawford and Canelo.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
You know I'm not. I'm not a big m m
A guy. I do like boxing.
Speaker 1 (30:22):

I feel like that was.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
She was very proud of herself. She had.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
She gave you a nickname because it rhymes snooker. Her

No, it's Freddy Parolta, the Brewers, Freddy Parolta, the Bruker.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Here we go, Here we go, here, we got a degree.
Come on, Chop, chop, this is one gets quilled and
our friend breed.
Speaker 7 (36:53):
Hi Ben okay So, less than forty eight hours after
being released by the Red Sox, Walker Brueler and the
Phillies reached an agreement it the Bueller will be implemented
in their starting rotation. Ben did the Dodgers miss an
opportunity at a reunion with Bueler.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
No, he's cooked, he's done.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
He was terrible with the Red Sox all season, and
I wish him well with the Phillies. But that's a
The Phillies needed somebody because Wheeler's out for the year.
Zach Wheeler's out for the year, and so there was
nobody else available. They can't trade for anybody of the
deadlines pass, so they're taking a flyer on Walker Bueler,
and he looks absolutely cooked.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
The Dodgers have their own issues. They got they got
problems everywhere.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
Next, an online poll conducted by the Action Network show
that Aaron Rodgers was voted the most annoying player in
the NFL. Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes rounded out the
top three.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Ben do you agree with the results from this pole? Well,
that's that's there. I don't do as you know. I
don't do polls. Lorena, I know this. I called you.
He does not that job by you.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, I know, listen, I don't. I don't pay attention
to all that stuff. My issue here my at the
very top of the people that annoyed me, Kyler Murray
right there at the very top Deshaun Watson is high
up there.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
You know, I don't give about that.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Mahomes and Kelsey and all that, those are the ones
that annoy me, so I don't I don't care about
those results.
Speaker 7 (38:10):
Next massage, Watson should have been number one. Okay, it
was reported by ESTN block Jason Kelce from contributed to
the YouTube inaugural stream of the Chiefs versus the Chargers
in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Ben, is this like a big deal? Well, it's good
because it's good for us.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
We don't have to see a Kelsey for another three
hours on television, so that's to me, that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
But I don't understand why TV networks do this.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Like, if you're ESPN, wouldn't you want your guy who
works for you to be exposed to that audience that's
gonna be watching that game the Chiefs and the Chargers
in Brazil. He've made a big audience on YouTube. I
don't understand why you would not want that. It doesn't
make a lot of sense to me the logic behind that.
But hey, that's why these executives get paid all the
big money there.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
It is mallard of the third degree.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Bree, you fail, no, no, you fail. Bray, you're done. Brie,
it's all over now, come on.
Boom, Shaka laka, it's our number to our number two
is ready for you. And one of the big storylines
over the weekend the Texas Longhorns losing by a touchdown
to Ohio State. Did quarterback Arch Manning get exposed? Or
is this just a masterclass on defense by the Buckeyes,
(00:22):
the reigning champions? And do you feel bad for arch
Manning having the immense pressure in Austin? And should we
wait till the end of the season to judge him?
That's what his coach says. And is there a redemption
arc for arch Manning? Or is this the beginning of
a bust narrative for the next in line for the
(00:44):
Manning family? And did arch Manning play himself out of
the Heisman Race? We'll tackle all of those questions right
now in our number two, the Arch Death March.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
What was that? My God?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahler Show.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
We are in the air everywhere as we burst into speech,
and we have big, amazed balls to talk about coast
to coast, border to motor and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
On the vast and excessively powerful microphones of FSR amminating
live even on a labor day, as we are from
the post, the Trading Post, which is always open for
business in the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as
approved by Viva Los Vicki and Shane the truck driver
stuck in a fog bank in South Dakota questioning the
(01:40):
time space continuum right now. This portion of the Ben
Maler Show made possible in part by our friends.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
The Way Tire Buying.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Show would be So don't bear the lead mo Man,
one of our old bosses like to say, so, we'll
start with this the Horseshoe. There was the game, the
game of the weekend in college football, as number one
in Texas, traveling with the Buck Guy State to match
up with the reigning champions. Although there is no carryover
(02:24):
rosters change, coaching staff change, but there they were number
three Ohio State playing hosts to Texas and the much
baallyhooed matchup.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Were you watching, you were not of course you were.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It was a day to forget for the Longhorns, all
the build up, all the anticipation, and they went out
there and what was that? Could not really do much
of anything on offense for the entire game, only seven
points the buck guys defense ruling the roost a fourteen
(02:58):
to seven slop knocker of a win in Columbus for
the Buckeyes of Ohio State. Your subplot, though, that is
where the story is. Let's not kid oursos Well do
you talk just about Ohio State. That's not where the
good story is. The good story. You know where the
good story is arch Manning. And I'm glad I got
(03:18):
those monologues in the last couple of weeks about arch Manning.
Holy crap, that guy sucks man What a turd. Arch Manning,
Let's call it like it is here.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
That's that's the guy everyone's been hyping up. Arch Manning.
Are you kidding me? Wow? So arch Manning.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
He was the consensus Heisman Trophy favorite, which tells you
nobody knows anything.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Dumb du dum, dumb dumb.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
There he was all the hype and got out there,
arch Manning and it was his world. And how did
he do like a house of cards, came tumbling down, down, down,
down down. He crumbled under the weight of the immense pressure. Now,
if you add up all of the yards, he ended
up with two hundred and eight total yards. Although the
numbers are even leading, even the final numbers are misleading.
(04:02):
Arch Manning ending up with one hundred and seventy yards,
ten rushing attempts for thirty eight yards, and a loss.
To begin as a starter in Austin his first job
as the starter, he started a couple of.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Games last year, but he was not the man.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Now he's the man, and now he is a loser
to begin his time with Texas. So question, as we
discussed the question, did arch Manning get exposed by Ohio
State or was this just a masterclass by the buck
guys defense in this particular game. So I've got commandeered
biblical and crayon, and we will combine all of these things.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Together and we are going to make your.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Babushkas favorite favorite chocolate, favorite chocolate. So number one, I said,
number one.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Arch Manning.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Let's call it like it is. Everyone was watching. He
was the story and it was like junior high school.
And he got panned he got panted. All of college
football going wild and all my god. Manning's debut it
went over about it, well, his debut was a full
time starter for the Texas Longhorns. Was about as successful
as when Google put out Google Glass. Do you remember
(05:15):
that a few years back? Google Glass? Nobody really wanted it,
it did.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It was terrible.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You want to go old school Coca Cola back in
the day they said we're gonna change Coca Cola new Coke.
And that was a nightmare. That was a disaster and horrific, horrific.
That's what it felt like. All the hype, all the sizzle,
all the build up, everything, and then the curtain went
up and the flag is up, let's start the race.
(05:43):
And turns out the car did not leave the starting gate.
Man you waited for that whole Maning kid thing to
take off right the next in the.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Lineage or the Manning family.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
There.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
He was supposed to walk on water. He's a Manning.
That's what Manning's do. They walk on water. Instead, Arch
Manning went out there and he sank like if you
drop a safe in the East River in New York,
right to the bottom, right to the bottom. How bad
was it. So Manning commandeered the vomit comet. He was
(06:17):
right there. He was in the front of the comet,
right there, flying the vomit comet. Now, because the final
numbers are very misleading, because you've got to look at
the context of the game. For the first seventy five
percent of the I you saw it. You know what
I'm about to say. So the first three cores of
the game, Arch Manning completed nine of fifteen passes for
thirty eight yards. Thirty eight yards passing going to the
(06:41):
fourth quarter against Matt Patricia, the lion trash, Matt Patricia,
the old rocket Scientists on the Patriots, Matt Patricia's Buckey's defense,
which came out like a Boa constrictor.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Did they play well? Yes they did?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But how much of that is on arch Manning? And
how much of that is that this is just a
good defense. Listen, You're supposed to rise to the challenge.
Isn't that what all this is about, right, athletic competition,
rising to the challenge in the moment, getting it done.
And what is arch man twenty? I think it's twenty one.
I believe he's been around a couple of years. There.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You drop him in there, whatever it is, you drop
him in there, and.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
He's got the last name Manning, he's got the pedigree,
and you dangle him. It's like dangling a raw stake
in front of a pit bull for that buck guy's defense.
And they were not just playing arch though Ohio State.
It was not just a matchup against Arch Manning. They
were playing the mythology of the Manning family and all
that had been out there, the mythologies. You said, well,
(07:42):
it's not helping Arch Manning. At this point, they he
did not play well. Texas lost the game. All they
scored seven points. You have to step up on the
big stage. He did not step up on the big stage.
You think of this like a pipe, right, pipe's out
there and they often will burst from pressure. I guess
Arch Manning is a US steel pipe that got a
(08:03):
lot of pressure and just burst.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And that's it. Clare.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
He's drowning from flop sweat in this game. And the
excuse makers are out there, they're like, well, it's not
his fault, just guy's fault, that guy's fault, blah blah
blah blah blah, and the Manning name Page two here
I've seen some of the Manning name conversation. Well, he's
wearing a giant bullseye. It's not fair to him, and
everyone wants to be the guy who exposes Arch Manning,
(08:29):
and Ohio State's already done that, exposing him as overrated,
over rated. Well, so do you feel bad? Here's the question.
Do you feel bad for Arch Manning having the immense
pressure for the Texas Longhorns and not living up to
the immense pressure. So I'll go first here, absolutely not,
(08:50):
absolutely not. And it is a privilege to be in
that situation, to have the keys to a big time
college football program granted a rather spot resume for Texas
for many, many years. But still you're in there, and
this is your opportunity. You're giving the keys to ride
the very expensive automobile. And that's life in the big city.
(09:11):
And in many ways, this is a biblical story as
old as time. Right, You've got the Manning family, Gibbeth
and the Manning family take it away. So how am
I supposed to sit here and feel bad for Arch Manning?
The Golden Arch, not the Golden Arches, that's something else,
that's a fast food restaurant, but the Golden arch arch Manning,
who I believe the number I saw was he makes
(09:34):
six point eight million dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
In nil money.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Six point eight million for arch Manning without having to
earn any of it. He didn't get the money after
he showed that he could play. He got the money
based on what he got, the money based on D
and A. And he's not even the son of Peyton
or Eli. People sometimes confuse that, no, no, no, he's
he's he's the other Manning brothers kid, and he played
(10:03):
like the other Manning brother kid in this game. But
think about that. You're in your early twenties, you're arch Manning.
You're making roughly one hundred and twenty three times what
the average American salary is to go out and play
college football at Texas. And how's the return on investment
the r OH I going for the Texas Longhorns and
(10:26):
the money the Boosters are paying because it's coming out
of the Boosters payroll. Imagine like you're sitting in the
front row, you're at the Rolling Stones back in the day.
You're at the Rolling Stones there and Mick Jagger says,
you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna send out my
I'm gonna send out my roady to sing satisfaction. I'm
just gonna send them out and see what we can do.
You'll be like, well, no, I paid, I paid for
(10:47):
your old wrinkley ass to sing. I didn't pay for
your your roady to sing. Well, no, I mean that's
what happened. Not much bang for your buck. Not a
lot of bang for your buck. Is arch Manning goes
down the comet, the vomit comet on fire, down down,
down down now now final point. So I saw this
quote by Steve Sarkisian. Sark Now, I have a bit
(11:12):
of a history of Sarkisan going back to many many years.
I will not get into that here. I will not
bore you with the past. But the quote from Steve Sarkisian,
the former drunk USC coach. He said the expectations were
out of control on the outside. Sarkisian said, but I'd say,
let's finish the book before we judge it, he said
(11:34):
of arch Manning. Quote continues, this is one chapter, and
we've got a long season to play, to go play,
said Steve Sarkisan close quote. Okay, so he's like, hey,
you know, it's one chapter. It's early on and let's
hold off on that. So should we wait? Should we
(11:54):
wait until the end of the season to judge arch
Manning said fair to dogpile on top of arch Manning
at this particular point. So my response is, what is
this the is Oprah back with her book club? Like,
what do we have to wait to the end of this?
That's not exactly how any of this works. We're not
(12:14):
waiting for the book to be in bookstores. We're not
doing that.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
We judge.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
The great thing about this job is we judge every
chapter of the book. After every chapter of the book,
every paragraph of the book. We're there, every typo, everything,
everything in the footnotes. We're examining all of that. And
that's the gig. That's the job description here. That's how
it goes. You don't drop a Manning name into the
(12:43):
sec frying pan, right and then ask for a grace
period like you're actually like cooking some kind of crock
pot recipe or something like that.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's that's not how it goes.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Arch Manning hit the debut chapter as a starter forget
About last year, and they played a couple of games,
started a couple of games last year.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
A starter.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Arch manning debut chapter was it read like it was
written in.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Crayon, like by a four year old in crayon.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And you want to wait till the season's over, right, Well,
we'll wait till the season's over.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That's what Sarkesian says. Oh, we'll wait till the season's over.
But first, the.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Problem is we have a talk show to do every
single day, every day.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
We're not librarians. We're not waiting for the book to
get out there. No, no, no, We're lunatics with microphones,
is what we are. And so that's our worst. And
the hype was a hot air balloon for arch man
Was I guilty of it?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I love a good story. I'm I'm all about the story,
and I bought into it. And he made me look
like a donkey, a total jackwagon the way arch Manning
went out there and played. But it's a hot air balloon.
And then all of a sudden, there's a problem. The
thing catches on fire. It was noseedied right into a
cactus patch, is what arch Manning did in that first
game in Columbus. And you can sell you know, the
(14:00):
the Maning nonsense and all this stuff. But you gotta
read the fine print, and I guess it was written
in an invisible ink. Now is there a redemption arc
for arch Manning or is this the beginning of a
bust narrative that will not end? So it is obviously
a bust narrative at this particular point. There's no if,
(14:21):
sans or butt's about it. It's a bust neartive and
it's up to arch at this point. How this is
gonna go. If it's a comeback story, you gotta do
it against better opponents that you played Ohio State. That
is a measuring stick game, and you went out there
and you didn't measure up.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Texas scored seven points.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
So if you go out there, if you're arch Manning
and light it up against nowhere, you and some of
these other crappy teams that are on the schedule, okay, fine,
and then you're gonna get into the Southeastern Conference. And
what's gonna happen? The manager, you've been telling me for years,
this is royalty. This is football royalty. And royalty gets
it's knocked down, and the Kingdom it doesn't obviously crumble overnight.
(15:05):
When royalty gets knocked down. It's the Shakespearean set up summer,
predicting that you'll have the fall, the humiliation, and then
the redemption and you rise back up, or you don't
have that and you have bust with a capital B.
And that opening performance. That opening performance was space shuttle
(15:26):
like and one of the most traumatic events of my
childhood when we all rallied around the television to watch
the Challenger take off, and then they had this thing
called the O ring.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I didn't know what an old ring was.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I was a kid at the time, but I learned
what an old ring was, and the O ring causes
your shutole, the old kaboom. Yeah, yeah, it's a small crack,
big explosion. Small crack, big explosion. So the other thing
is did arch Manning. Did arch Manning play himself out
of the Heisman race after one game? So I would say, Heisman,
(16:02):
forget about it. We do the show today, and today
you'd have to say, there's no chance, cancel Christmas, no
gifts for arch Manning, that dream dead. Today's labor day.
As we're doing the show in real time, Dad Dad, Dad,
Dad Dad. The Heisman voters they're gonna remember this, this
was a big game and you're gonna have to win
two big games to make up for this.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
If you're arch Manning, you're gonna have to.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Outperform two of the better opponents Texas has down the
line in order to make up for this performance, and
you're gonna have to be relatively great.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
The rest of the season.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
But the Heisman voters are not gonna sit around and say, oh,
you know, I remember that time that arched through for
one hundred and seventy yards and had almost nothing through
three quarters against Ohio State. Let me give him the
hardware anyway, let me give him the trumpe. No, that's
not that's not gonna happen, So forget about that.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
If he rattles off a ten game heater and arch
Manning is cooking and throwing three, four or five touchdowns
a game and he comes back swinging, we can revisit
this conversation, but we're doing the conversation today. And if
he does end up turning things around. You said about
baptism by fire all that stuff, But what I saw,
(17:16):
I was like, oh, man, I remember like some of
the college quarterbacks who got a lot of hype and
didn't really live up to the hype, and then I
thought some other guys in the NFL. I know this
is college is not the NFL, but one of them
related to the Manning family connected at the hip. And
that was when Peyton Manning. There was a great debate
should Peyton Manning or this guy named Ryan Leaf be
the top pick of the draft years ago and we.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Know what happened.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Saw a lot of Ryan Leaf two point zero in
Arch Manning. He had the Manning name plate, he had
that going for him, but the rest of it not
so much. Now either way, we are going to find
out fast. In fact, someone say we've already found out,
but we'll find out fast. If Arch Manning is the
heir to the throne. Didn't look like it at all
against Ohio State, or if this is just some kid
that showed up to the coronation and you know we're
(18:04):
in the crown and then tripped on the red carpet,
got a bloody nose, and it's just a hot mess
because it looked like a real hot mess, real, real, real,
just disgusting.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And did did get some good memes out of it,
which was good. Had some good jokes at the expense
of Arch Manning. Some of them I enjoyed quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (18:23):

Let's see what else do we have. Let's see page down.

(35:47):
no more than one run Allah, that is the question.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
No, it's Freddy Parolta, the Brewers, Freddy Parolta, the Bruker.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Here we go, Here we go, here, we got a degree.
Come on, Chop, chop, this is one gets quilled and
our friend breed.
Speaker 7 (36:53):
Hi Ben okay So, less than forty eight hours after
being released by the Red Sox, Walker Brueler and the
Phillies reached an agreement it the Bueller will be implemented
in their starting rotation. Ben did the Dodgers miss an
opportunity at a reunion with Bueler.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
No, he's cooked, he's done.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
He was terrible with the Red Sox all season, and
I wish him well with the Phillies. But that's a
The Phillies needed somebody because Wheeler's out for the year.
Zach Wheeler's out for the year, and so there was
nobody else available. They can't trade for anybody of the
deadlines pass, so they're taking a flyer on Walker Bueler,
and he looks absolutely cooked.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
The Dodgers have their own issues. They got they got
problems everywhere.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
Next, an online poll conducted by the Action Network show
that Aaron Rodgers was voted the most annoying player in
the NFL. Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes rounded out the
top three.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Ben do you agree with the results from this pole? Well,
that's that's there. I don't do as you know. I
don't do polls. Lorena, I know this. I called you.
He does not that job by you.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, I know, listen, I don't. I don't pay attention
to all that stuff. My issue here my at the
very top of the people that annoyed me, Kyler Murray
right there at the very top Deshaun Watson is high
up there.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
You know, I don't give about that.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Mahomes and Kelsey and all that, those are the ones
that annoy me, so I don't I don't care about
those results.
Speaker 7 (38:10):
Next massage, Watson should have been number one. Okay, it
was reported by ESTN block Jason Kelce from contributed to
the YouTube inaugural stream of the Chiefs versus the Chargers
in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Ben, is this like a big deal? Well, it's good
because it's good for us.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
We don't have to see a Kelsey for another three
hours on television, so that's to me, that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
But I don't understand why TV networks do this.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Like, if you're ESPN, wouldn't you want your guy who
works for you to be exposed to that audience that's
gonna be watching that game the Chiefs and the Chargers
in Brazil. He've made a big audience on YouTube. I
don't understand why you would not want that. It doesn't
make a lot of sense to me the logic behind that.
But hey, that's why these executives get paid all the
big money there.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
It is mallard of the third degree.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Bree, you fail, no, no, you fail. Bray, you're done. Brie,
it's all over now, come on.
