Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number to hang it out
in the audio dojo.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Why did the Browns go back to Kareem Hunt? Could
have had any running back available, they chose him. Also,
what does the cam Acres trade to the Vikings? Tell
us as he comes over from the Rams and we'll
go to Vegas. How come the Raiders are not cutting
ties with Chandler Jones after a bizarro world social media
(00:31):
diatribe over the last couple of weeks. We'll talk you
about that. Whatever else pops up here, it is our
number two, ending the hunt. It was not a very
long hunt, but it's now over.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Welmeme.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show,
we are in.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
The air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Huddled up as we do. I don't know, beans, coast,
the coast, border, the border, and beyond on the vast
and powerful, gigantically powerful microphones of fsr ammating live from

from the Merry Go Round, Round and round and round
(01:42):
and round goes the running back Merry Go Round. Let's
spun quite a bit on hump Day. And if you
were not keeping track, because you have a life good
for you, you have a job good for you, or
you were just lazy, perhaps you missed it. So the
Cleveland Browns needed a running Nick chubbahlub Blub is gone,
(02:03):
unfortunately having that breakfast of not champions, the snap, crackle,
pop variety of the knee going a direction that should
not have gone. So Nick Schubb is out and the
Browns have made a move to replace him. And it
turns out you can go home again as Kareem Hunt
is the player they picked. He returns to his hometown team,
(02:26):
the team he played for in recent years. While the
Vikings also lit up the transaction wire, they made a move.
They acquired running back Cam Akers in a deal with
the Rams, and not much of a trade, more of
a giveaway. So why don't we start in Northern Ohio.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
We'll start with the move that we.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Mentioned first year, So let us discuss the question, why
did the Browns go back to Kareem Hunt?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Why Kareem Hunt?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
So I've got needle Point, Doyle Brunson, and garbage pail kids,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a Canadian salad poutine.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
That's what we're gonna make. So number one, the.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Browns decided they wanted to go back to the comfort zone.
Nepotism is a big thing, and people get upset by nepotism.
They get annoyed by it. But it goes on in
every business. I work in the radio business. I see
people getting hired because they know people, not necessarily because
they're the most important or the top person for the job,
(03:40):
but because they happen to know something.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But nepotism is the word of the day here.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It's not what you know, it's who you know. And
Kareem Hunt played in Cleveland. He's in his happy place.
They're they're happy with him. Cleveland parted ways though this
interesting note. They parted ways with Kareem Hunt because they
didn't think he was worth the money. They assumed the
position that they could replace him with a cheaper labor option,
(04:04):
shall we say, right as someone who's inexperienced but cost
effective at the running back position, and now that Nick
Chubb is in crutches, the Browns have decided to circle
back to Hunt, even though his resume is pot marked
so on the Mallor report card, the Cleveland Browns get
a C plus on the Malor report Card for this signing.
(04:25):
It's a slightly above average signing. Slightly above average. Didn't
give it a second look when you take a glimpse
a little snapshot of his recent performance. Kareem Hunt had
some big runs back in the day with Kansas City
early on in Cleveland, but as they say in France,
(04:45):
he has been lacking the genes sequah. Regardless though, ultimately
this is a needle point situation for the Cleveland football team.
They are putting together a patchwork quill. They've lost some
offensive line power. Now they've lost Nick Chubb, and they
(05:06):
have to run the ball. They have to make this
work in Cleveland with Kareem Hunt and Ford in the
backfield because Deshaun Watson is a vacuum.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
He sucks the energy out of the room there at quarterback.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
More on Deshaun Watson later, There's a great Deshaun Watson's
story bouncing around the echo chamber that we'll get to
in a later hours, so hopefully you'll be able to
hear that. Now page two, we go to Los Angeles. Hello,
we learned that the Rams decided they cannot ram it
all day and ram it all night with.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Cam Acres anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
The disgruntled running back has been shipped off to the
land of ten thousand Lakes, even though there's many more
than ten thousand lakes. Hopefully cam Akers, before he finds
a home there, will stay at the Mermaid. That's where
we had the big Mallard meet and greet in the
Twin Cities. Fine location, although you got to go to
speed limit. Very active local law enforcement there that loved
to write to. Now, Adam Schefter tells us that Minnesota
(06:03):
and LA agreed to a late round pickswap in twenty
twenty six, whatever that means as part of the deal.
So let's break it down somewhat scientifically. What does the
cam Akers trade to the Vikings?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Tell us?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So a couple of thoughts here follow the breadcrumbs. As
the godfather of poker, the late Doyle Brunson would have said,
this is a tell it is a tell. Actions speak
louder than words, and what the Vikings are saying by
making this trade is Alexander Madison, you are not carrying
the water.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
You're not getting it done.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
And the Vikings thought that they would be okay without
Dalvin Cook, who isn't lighting the world on fire with
the Jets. But they thought okay, Dalvin Cook had reached
his expiration date, so we're gonna go. We're gonna go
with Alexander Madison. We got a whole bunch of other
running backs who are not named brand running backs. And
it turns out that they have been wrong Minnesota. Their
(07:02):
backfield has been a flophouse and it has really been terrible.
It's only two games, so that's all we have. The
judges on the Vikings are the worst running team in
the NFL. They have a league worse sixty nine rushing
yards that against almost seven hundred passing yards. Their second
in the entire NFL in passing yards. But they can't
(07:24):
run the ball. Now, some of that is the offensive line,
but there have been If you watched the game last
Thursday against Philadelphia, there were some holes that were not
exploited against that Eagles defense because Madison and the other
running backs. We're not able to circumvent around the would
be tacklers. In addition, though this is another nepotism situation,
(07:49):
it's good to have friends. Cam Akers had worn out
as welcome in La La Land. Drafted out of Florida State,
uber talented like everyone who's drafted in the first or
second round, and he is provided a spotty.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Performance in his NFL career.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And so Sean McVay sent a text message over to
his old powell, Kevin O'Connell, the coach in Minnesota, and
Presto Shazam Acres is reunited and it feels so good
with his old coach, Kevin O'Connell, who was with him
with the Rams as an assistant to Sean McVay, and
(08:25):
the Rams traded him for a half eaten baloney sandwich.
That's what they got from the Vikings, a half eaten
bloney sandwich, which is a sixth or a seventh round
pick whatever it turns out to be a pick swap
in twenty twenty six. And so this is the ultimate
change of scenery. And I watched over the last couple
of years cam Akers play, not recently because he's been
(08:47):
in Sean mcvay's doghouse. But when I've seen him, he's
he's got the talent, he just hasn't been able to
get it done. He does not have that explosion that
he had in college at Florida State. And so this
is a resurrection situation, a lot to.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Tidy up, scrub a dub dub.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Now we head to sin City better known as Lost Wages, Nevada,
where all the casinos are hacked, and they're having a
nightmare over there in Vegas. But we are hearing now
the Raiders also having a nightmare. They have placed defensive
end Chandler Jones on time out.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Chandler Jones has been put.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
On the Non football Illness list. Jones had multiple social
media rants that were from bizarro World. Right there in
Bizarro World, directly criticizing the owner, Mark Davis. He did
not attack Mark Davis's love of PF Chang's, but he
did attack him in much more personal ways. Also the
(09:44):
GM Dave Ziegler and head coach Josh McDaniels. He might
have even ripped JT the brick. I don't know, maybe
he did. Now publicly the team is standing behind Chandler
Jones the ex pat and they have not ruled out
in statements that he could return to the team if
the situation improves. So how come the Raiders are not
(10:05):
cutting ties with Chandler Jones. Clearly his actions are that
of someone that you would say needs to be fired.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
From their job.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
If I sent out those kind of comments, I would
not be put on time out. I would be given
a pink slip, and that's it. So this is a
little dicey here because it's simply a pr game, it's
a public relations game. Social media experts have already diagnosed
that Chandler Jones has either CTE or mental health.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I've read schizophrenia.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I read that there's twelve other illnesses that all of
the experts on social media have handed out. So you
can't get rid of a guy who's having an issue.
And I don't doubt there's stuff going on with Chandler Jones.
He had issues with the New England Patriots and we
don't really know what those issues are, and by.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The way, neither do you.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
But it's all about spitball when you break it down
further though, the Silver and Black are following what we
call the doctrine of pigskin, you never give up on talent.
If Chandler Jones right, If Chandler Jones was one of
the garbage pale kids, chin up Chandler, the Raiders would
(11:23):
have said, bye bye, see you later, you garbage pale kid,
get out of here. But Chandler Jones has in his
career been a very good player, and his name in
this era of the NFL defensively at what he does
rushing the passer has been very good.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And so the Raiders are like, oh, you know what
I'm saying, there's a chance we'll leave the door open
just in case.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
The doctors give him a whole bag of pharmaceuticals and
whatever goodies they give him there he'll find the magic
beans and be able to come back and help the
the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Of course, the way the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Are going, man, that is not looking particularly great. There
not one of the better vintages of Raider football. It
is the Ben Malor Show. If you'd like to comment
on any of that, you can join us. It is
a speak easy version. What that means is if you
want to call up, you know the number, call up.
(12:17):
I believe operators are standing by and then we'll put
you in the queue, and then you'll stay on hold
for a little bit, and at some point we'll get
to you, and then you can rant and people can
hear you, and some people will rip you and say
I hate you, and then other people might like you,
and maybe you'll become famous and get your own YouTube
channel and then call us up and just waste our
(12:37):
time by promoting your YouTube channel like Poppy does or
some of the other people. So you can have a
field day with it, right, You just need to knock
yourself out, have a grand time. If you know the number,
the speakeasy version now of the show, and we are
also available on X formally known as Twitter. How long
do we have to say X formally known as Twitter?
Probably up until the time Elon starts charging and then
(12:58):
we get off of it. But we are on there
at Ben Malor. We do read a lot of comments.
We have a high volume of people that are up
working and can't sleep, have all kinds of issues, but
they're awake and we're here for you. So if you
want to send a message and it's you know, stay
on hold for that. Maybe we'll read it, maybe we
will not read it. It really just depends. There's a
lot of messages coming in, and I look at many
(13:21):
of them. I don't look at all of them. Do
not look at all of them. Some of them fall
to the wayside. So we have breaking the fourth Wall
and prime time money, money money.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
We'll get to that and we will.

Began Hour two with the Malor report krk kareem Hunt
going back to the Brownies and cam Akers is now
going to wear purple with the Vikings. Wildlied Southern Boy
writes in from parts Soknown does a shout out and

Speaker 1 (15:18):
The Malor monologue.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Fun stat in just three seasons at two games, Justin
Jefferson has more receiving yards than every Bears receiver all time.
I know they have never had an above average quarterback,
but still that is a good fun fact. Three seasons
and two games, Justin Jefferson has more receiving yards than
every Chicago Bear wide receiver who ever played at Soldier
(15:41):
Field in the other stadiums man Alf the Alien Opiner.
He also sent a fund with a lot of fun facts.
Did I ask for fun facts? That's a good fun fact.
I like this one. I don't know if it's true
or not, but I like it. He found this on
the internet. He said treadmills were originally a punishment used
to harness human power as a giant wheel used to
(16:04):
grind grains, hence the name tread mill.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
That's pretty good, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I believe that because I used to watch Loony Tunes
cartoons back in the day, and when I was a kid,
they had these looning tune cartoons, and if I remember correctly,
sometimes the punishment would be on a treadmill. That that
would be the punishment, like an archaic treadmill. So that
that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I like that. There you go. Fun fact from Alf.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
The Alien opiner outstanding Late night drug tester says, instead
of continuing these speakeasy version of the show we would have,
we should have a newbie night and have Iowa Sam
screen the calls to see if he can keep the
regulars off the air. So you find fine opportunity there, Matt.
We should do a newbe net. We haven't done one
(16:53):
of those in a while. Should be doing the Man
about tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
How about next week?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Why don't we do a movie night next week? We
agree on that Newbie night next week, We'll pick a
night next week.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Those in favors say I, I.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I guess I'm the only one in favor.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I unanimous.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Sam pause, though I said I, but you pause. It
was not a full throated eye. It was more of
a pause. I don't. I'm indifferent, So have it. That's
a great attitude to have. Tremendous attitude. We love that apathy.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Matt the Warrior Raider fan writes, then says, I give
you a zero out of ten on the malor monolog
for taking a cheap shot at the Raiders after one
road loss, well not just one road loss, barely beating
a shaky Broncos team. Also put that on on the resume.
(17:50):
We'll see Sunday night Steelers can't score. Will the Raiders
be able to keep the Steelers from matriculating the ball
down the field? Will the Raiders be able to move
the ball against what and that great Steelers defense?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
That's the big Sunday night.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Game this weekend. And I have been handicapping all these games.
I have to do the TV show later today. We
put the show together, Benny versus the Penny. So I've
been looking at all the numbers in my head is spinning.
My head is spinning. But let's go to the phones
and let's say hello to Let's go to Eric, who's
(18:26):
in Wyoming.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Hello, Eric, welcome, appreciate it very much. Just think Eric,
Just think Eric, next year you could be in Pac
twelve country.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Oh boy, wouldn't that be something? Yeah, But listen, I
wanted to talk about the Browns. I became a Browns
fan by watching a certain quarterback who played for Notre
game and I said, whatever team he gets drappted to
is going to be my team in the NFL. And
that quarterback was Brady Quinn.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Oh, that's my colleague here at Fox Sports. Ready, very
popular morning host here at Fox.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Yes, right, And well he's a morning host now and
not a villa in the league, and so that is unfortunate.
But Deshaun Watson is my was gonna be my savior.
But I have yet to see anything from him, and
I'm concerned. And Ben, I'm I'm coming up on thirty five.
(19:27):
Am I going to see the Browns in a Super Bowl?
Before I get old or you know, well, let's that's.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Well, there's a couple of things here. First of all,
how long are you planning to live?
Speaker 6 (19:40):
As long as I can?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
As long as you can. That's a good attitude. You
want to as long as you can. Are you willing
to have Elon musk implant stuff into your body?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
No, okay, But if you could live like an extra
hundred years, would you do that?
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Is that how long it's going to take?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Well, I'm just I'm trying to help you out here. Yeah,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I don't see a pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow for the Cleveland Browns right now. And
the Deshaun Watson he just he ain't he Ain't that guy,
Palt he ain't that guy.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And you've seen what I've seen. You watch it.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You watch the Browns games. I'm sure closer than I
watched the Browns games. But he has been a second
rate guy. And even in Houston he was a great
stat guy, but he didn't make a lot of those
those winning plays at the end of games there. But
he did fill up the stat sheet with the Texans.
But he's not even doing that with the Browns. And
here's the problem with Watson like, this is the time
(20:34):
to make hey, because the weather's gonna turn nasty as
as you know for the Browns late in the year,
and they're gonna play a lot of games in nasty weather,
which is it's very hard to occure a lot of
statistics when you're playing late season games in snow and
sleet and bad weather and all that. And you look
ahead and the Browns play. They play the Steelers in
(20:57):
late November. They play in Denver, which could be a
bad weather game. They also have home game, have a
couple of home games in December, and so those.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Are all all they got, like seven or eight bad
weather games that could be on the schedule.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
So if Watson is not playing well when the weather's
fine for the most point, I know it wasn't fine
the first game, but the second game the weather was
fine in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
That's yeah. I'm not really helping you out here, am't I.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
Well, No, losing Chubb definitely put a damper on the season.
Seeing cream Hunt coming back puts a little bit of
faith back in it. But I just without the run
game and DeShawn, I haven't seen a single play from
DeShawn from his time playing with detections that is similar
at all, and so I just.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, no, you're right.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I mean I haven't seen it either, And I got
to tell you, I'm not a Browns fan and I
hate DeShawn Watson, so I'm a hater.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I'm in a hater aid club on that he's a loser,
and I'm glad that he is falling apart.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
But for your sake, guy, you know you're a Browns fan,
so you're you're kind of locked in on that.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Eric. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

We got Thursday night football coming up tonight in the
Bay Area. The forty nine Ers game taking on.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
The Giants, talk about a mismatch.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
And after one day after saying it would not rule
out Saquon Barkley, the Giants have ruled out Sequon Barkley Docking.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I can't believe that happened. I'm amazed by that turn
of events.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
For the forty Nindreds wide receiver Brandon au KU's off
to a nice start. Game time decision with a shoulder injury.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
The Niners can pick which score they want in the
game time. The only concern is injury.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And this is one of those games where you either
bet on the Niners or you don't bet.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Those are the only two options. And it's a massive
point spread in the Thursday night game tonight. And I
cannot stand betting double digit favorites. Hate it, hate it,
hate it with a passion, but sometimes you have to
do it. Sometimes you have.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
To do it.

last couple of days, USC, the University of Southern California
(24:09):
made headlines in college football for censoring a reporter. They
said X nay on the credential A. They banned a
reporter from covering their team. They suspended the reporter from
the Orange County Register for breaking the fourth wall, if
(24:29):
you will.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
So what did the report do? The reporter?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
He gave some comments based on something that some USC
football players had said just before a media availability. And
the word going around is that the main reason this
reporter got in trouble is not that he took those
quotes from before the media availability, but he embarrassed these
(24:55):
sports information.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Department at SC. They're very proud over there. I s
some of the people.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I don't know if I know of you over there now,
but they're very proud of that. You know, they like
they think that everything's perfect. But the players were talking
about being given talking points on what to tell the
media before they actually talk to the media, and so
this reporter I.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Kind of wrote about that and they, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
They blew a gasket at sc They're like, oh my god,
you're not supposed to say how we make the sausage.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
You said how we make the sausage. Don't talk about
the sausage. That's what they said. Yeah, let's go to
the phones. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Let's say hello to the wild Eye Southern Boy. Dad
gumtt Hello, wild Eye Southern Boy.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Don't know?
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Man?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
She's one thing good about her. Oh she's a big
old Tennessee balls man. That's all great.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Bet.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Dear, hey, Oldhi Sam. Don't be a big old clapping button.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Huh he did it?
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Devin seven, Jeth bare yesterday brother twenty one years Ben
Byler Show. But I got some bad news today, Ben
the old boy that used to that I used to
pick up after you was going at five. I picked
up from the very route he passed away today. Brother
on the toy that I was just I was so upset. Man.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
It was called Moobie in the morning out of Georgia.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
He was a great man, dude. He's been on radio
for a long time.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Man.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
He always talked those sports.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
But he's very, very blunt. You remind me a lot
of you because you just settle stuff.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
He'd say it, and that's why I just kept him.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Oh your phone is your phone is breaking up there.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, I'll let you go.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
My condolences. They'll call back later if you want. Wildlife
southern boy. But I guess he worked. The radio guy
worked it right up to the end. Yeah, that's a problem.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
You what I do. I'll just drop dead one day.
That'll be that.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Let's say hello to Andy. I think we'll all drop
dead one day, whether we like it or not. Andy
the Comic book Guy is part of Bill's mafia and
he's back.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Hey, how's it going, Ben there?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
He is the one and only a legend, the host
of the last mallor meet and greet we did in socoal.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Yeah, that was a blast.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Yeah, man.
Speaker 9 (27:31):
Speaking of the Bills, I actually take the Commanders pretty
seriously in this one. I'm a little nervous. I think
their defense looks kind of kind of good this year.
I think they look serious, serious, Josh Allen, to be
honest with you, I'm a little a little concerned.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
See, I have the Broncos on that or I have
the Commanders who played the Broncos last week.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I have them in that.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Weird twighlight zone area where they're two to zero, but
they beat the Cardinals. They had to come back in
that game, they had to come back in the the
Bronco game. They haven't played a full game and they
haven't played an elite team yet. But you yeah, this
is it's a pretty big point spread Bills of the
road team here, so it's kind of do.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
Great with huge point spreads. Truthfully, historically, if you're you're
a gambling man, the Bills don't do great with huge
point spreads. But I did also, you know, speaking of
you know, quality of opponent. Again, congratulations to the Miami
Dolphins on their week to Super Bowl win against the
(28:43):
New England Patriots. My gosh, they're now jumped two zero
and two teams barely MVP to a Tago by loa.
My goodness, this may be the year you're annoyed.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
You're annoyed every time you click on your favorite NFL
blogs and you live on social media. There's a lot
of dolphin propaganda out there, and you're annoyed there is.
Speaker 9 (29:07):
There's just a lot. But I can ask Houp a question,
a fantasy football question really quick.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Well, man, do we want that on the air?
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
If that's on the air, we don't have to I
don't have to do it.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
Should I trade Russell Wilson in my dynasty league? At
this point in time?
Speaker 8 (29:24):
Somebody will give you something for Russell Wilson?
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Okay, exactly, all right, thank you.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
You're gonna have to get rid of him anyway, because
he's not gonna be with the Broncos next year, so
you gotta you know, at some point you're gonna have
to find somebody else.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
He can be a.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Backup, right, you know, he could change. He could do
the Carson Wentz Baker Mayfield thing. Just go to a
crap team and then do that a couple of times,
then get out of the NFL.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Can I do a real quick PSA for everyone in
Los Angeles? By the way, that I learned today, But
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Oh you learned something new. I live in LA.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
No idea. Shrooms are now legal here?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Are you sure about that?
Speaker 5 (30:07):
I am positive?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well why would why wouldn't Why wouldn't they be legal?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Because you can just go into a store and steal
stuff that's legal now too.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
You can just do whatever you want.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
That is terrifying, honestly.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
But I feel like when I go to a gas station,
I'm the one that's getting I'm getting burglarized when I
go to a gas over six dollars a gallon most
places in LA.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's insane.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
Yeah, but you know why that is, right, It's because
our fuel has to be different.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Oh, it doesn't have to be different.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Trust me, I've been in I've been all over the country.
The air is perfect in these places. It's a bull crap, is.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
What it is. Anyway? All right, thank you? All right? Yeah,
go away. It's Andy the comic book guy.

Alf the Alien Opiner going with Crazy Legs Kanti as
his answer. Vince Coleman from Matt the Warrior Raider Disgruntled
the Former as fan Tim Raines guess by Art puffin
Rock Rains. Dick Holcombe from Stevie Meatballs in Florida. Cecil
(33:43):
Fielder guessed by Fudgie. There's a great answer, Mickey Hatcher
and his Oversized Glove that was one of the great
baseball cards of all time from Areek in the Twin
Cities Fields of Greens going with Twins legend. Michael Restovich
as a.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Pauli d got it right, Wow, Bad job by him.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
John Kruck the Speechter from Kyle we Willie Keeler guessed
by Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. The Grill Sergeant says, Daniel
Vogelbach is the way to go. Willie the mess checks
in with the great rookie for the Cincinnati Reds Lucille
Ball back in the day, Robin Minnesota, says Lyle Alzado,
(34:25):
a double o Mexican in San Diego, going with Carmelo Martinez,
a padre legend, ron lafleur from Breadman Matt in Flint,
Wayne Garland and his perfectly permed nineteen seventies haircut from
Bay City.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Tony. That's his answer, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Do you have an answer, Eddie, Yes, it's former padre
and angel, Rupert Jones.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
That's also a good name, Rupert Jones back in the day.
That's incorrect, though the correct answer from the I think
it was the Arizona Dia might have been a different team.
Tony Womack, Remember Tony Wollmack can play with the Pirates
two if I remember correctly, Tony Womack way back in
nineteen ninety seven, Eddie, nineteen ninety where's the fanfair? We
(35:12):
don't get any fanfair that Tony Womack is not worthy
of fanfare. That's a bad job by the imaging department
here that we do not have any fanfare for.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Tony wall There it is there, it is right there.
Tony Wollmack Eddie.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
If I had given you a possible million dollars Eddie
to tell.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Me who sday Uri Ruiz was, would you be able
to find out? No? No, I'd never heard of this guy.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Of course, I've watched like maybe three Oakland games all year.
Parts of Oakland games. Even when I was at a
Oakland game, it didn't really do much for me. Anyway,
let's get to it here we go. Hit that button
right there?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
How about that.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
To the third degree?
Speaker 1 (35:58):
This is one thing gets qrilled. All right, Well, you
head over to the coop dalup now.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
Being Andy the comic book guy was just talking about
the Miami Dolphins, and he also mentioned the Denver Broncos. Well,
the Denver Broncos go on the road for their first
road game of the season to face the Miami Dolphins.
If the Broncos lose and go zero to three, is
their season over?
Speaker 9 (36:20):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Well, there's seasons already over.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
But historically Sean paid if you based Sean Payton on
what he did in New Orleans, his teams usually didn't
play very well the first couple of games, and then
week three or four they started cranking things up. But
I actually kind of like the Broncos. I'll make my
pick on Benny versus the Penny this weekend. But the
Broncos are a mess anyway. They're not really going anywhere,
so you know that, Kooper Loop. You don't need me
(36:43):
to tell you that. And Andy the comic Bye and
the comic book guy would like the Broncos to help
his team out and beat the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Good luck on that. But I actually think that.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Points spreads a little inflated in the Miami Denver game
because the your Broncos did.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Look this, showed like the cold move the.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Ball a little bit, and the Dolphins defense is not
very good. So at least Denver should be able to
put some points up in Miami if nothing else.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
All Right, what is next?
Speaker 8 (37:08):
We've talked about the chances of Deon Sanders leaving for
the NFL, but what about other college another college program.
Colorado legend Chad Brown told TMZ that he doesn't think
Dion would leave for anyone other than maybe Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama,
or Florida State.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Ben, Do you agree? I do not agree with Chad Brown.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
The hot rumor of the week is that Dion's going
to go some other some other university leave Colorado behind.
But Dion, He's not gonna stay at Colorado long term.
This is just a stopover in Colorado. And the highest
level of college football is the SEC and the Big
Ten and the glamour schools.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Yeah, that would be kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
But I could see Dion Sanders going to a place
like Auburn or Tennessee or somewhere like that and dominate.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Imagine him on Rocky Top, reigniting.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
The Tennessee football program on it right now is the
hottest thing in college football, and we'll see what happens
after they get vaporized by Oregon and USC. How hot
he is next?
Speaker 8 (38:08):
Since winning Defensive Rookie of the Year in twenty twenty,
Chase Young has only appeared in thirteen games for the Commanders.
He made his season debut last week and had a
big impact with one and a half sacks and seven
quarterback pressures. Ben how important is Chase Young to Washington's success?
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Well, he's a good player, but it's limited.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Washington's a middling team and they am not impressed with
how they've started, even though they're two to zero. But
he's a guy that one or two plays a game,
he can change the course of the game.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
How do we do cope? You failed this addition. That
is a win by me.
