Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb bird too. Some big
money over the weekend in the NFL, in the air everywhere.
Why did the Packers pay Jordan Love all that cheese,
all that money? And they didn't have to. We only
had a half a season where he played well. And
is Dolphins quarterback to a tongue of Biloa good enough

(00:22):
to win a Super Bowl? He got paid also, And
the toss up which quarterback is a bigger gamble Jordan
Loved for the cheeseheads or to a tongue of by
looa for the Dolphins. We'll talk about all that and
more right now here. It is our number two, a
whole lot of cheese. Welcome. In the beginning of another

(00:45):
hour of the Ben Mather Show, We are in the
air everywhere Dennison's you there, me here, Coast, Duck coast, border,

the way tire buying should be Flexus in Buffalo, who's

So our lead this hour from the NFL. You probably thought, well,
it happened over the weekend, It's not gonna come up
here on this show.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
But you'd be wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
We will get back to the Malorpalooza twenty twenty four
or three acts in more acts to come. But over
the weekend a couple of massive, massive deals were announced,
and we were We were away from the guard shack,
much like the security guard here at the FSR building
was away when I tried to tell him there was
an interesting cat riding his bike through the garage.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
But the.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Story here that happened over the week and there were
two stories that caught our attention. Maybe he saw it,
maybe he didn't. But to a tongue of Iloa, the
proud of Alabama, well originally the pride of Hawaii. But
he agrees to a four year contract worth two hundred
and twelve million dollars two hundred twelve point four million,
which includes one hundred and sixty seven million gironteed guaranteed.

(02:37):
Now in Wisconsin, Jordan Love feel him a love from
Green Bay. He agrees to a two hundred and twenty
million dollar deal which includes a seventy five million dollar
signing bonus, like you've won the lottery and that's payable
by the end of the year. Seventy five million. Is
that going to affects the price of the stock in

(02:58):
Green Bay? I don't know. Hundred fifty five million in
new guaranteed money handed over to Jordan Love. So there's
interesting things about both of these movies. We're going to
start at lambeau Field though. That's where we're going to start.
And the question is why did the packers pay Jordan

(03:19):
Love all all that money? Why did they pay Jordan
Love all that money? So I've got Howie Mandel, Doctor Seuss,
and barbershop, and we can combine all of those things
together and we are going to make a handshake. Everyone
in the rooms distracted, no bells, no whistles, So number

(03:41):
why they woke up?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
All right?

Speaker 1 (03:45):
So listen, here's the deal. The packers box themselves into
a corner, there's no other way to say it. When
it comes to Jordan Love. Green Bay did something that
is not Green Bay like. It's out of character for
that franchise. If you look at the franchise charter, this
is not the kind of move that they normally make.
R They caved in part the public opinion, social media

(04:10):
pressure and all that. Normally they have not operated like
this Jordan Love. While things are looking up for Jordan Love,
if you were being a grown up, you would say
he's still in the beta testing phase, that he's in
the beta testing phase. And yet he got paid. He
got paid massive amount of money and all that stuff.
And will the real Jordan Love stand up? Because I

(04:33):
remember doing the TV show last year and Jordan Love
at mid season after eight games, had twelve touchdown passes
and eight interceptions, and unless I'm mistaken, in a primetime
game at lambeau Field, Matt Lafleur called out Jordan Love
and his teammates for lollygagging against the Lions in the
first half of that game. So while he certainly looked

(04:55):
good late and can't argue with that, the Cowboy playoff
game was more about the Cowboys. The game to the
green Bay football team. It wasn't so much that Jordan
Love was clearly better than everyone else. Dak Prescott and
the Cowboys were a bunch of stumblebums in that game.
And then green Bay did have a shot against the
forty nine ers, as I recall, but if you look

(05:15):
at all this right, he needs more beta testing and
all that stuff. And even though he looked good at
the end of the year. As a result, the Packers
to say, you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna
bring how he manned Dell. We're gonna bring him and
the banker, and we're gonna bring them to northern Wisconsin
where it's beautiful this time of the year, and then

(05:35):
we'll play dealer, no deal. And the Packers chose case
number ten, and they're betting that case number ten will
be the right case. And now they're on a wing
and a prayer because there is a dimension in the
multiverse where Jordan Love comes out and urinates all over
his pants, and the Packers are in a tough situation.
But it's always always a value when you sign. The

(05:58):
counter argument has been, well, well it looks bad now,
but you just wait. In a couple of years. Okay,
So by that account, everyone should get paid all the time.
You don't have to necessarily earn the money. But it's like,
it's like, what are we doing here right? It's is
he a bargain? He's not a bargain right now. Maybe
he'll turn out to be a bargain if he turns
out to be good. Otherwise he's an albatross now. Page two,

(06:19):
we go to South Beach where weed Man Hippie still
finds himself incarcerated over the weekend and more on that later,
because he would be part of the malt Palosa if
he was free, he would have been part of it.
But we focus in on the Miami football team. Is
Dolphins quarterback to a tongue of Iloa good enough to
win a Super Bowl? He got paid, right he got paid?

(06:41):
Is he good enough to actually be a Super Bowl quarterback?
And so the the answer is gummy. It's gummy. That's
the answer here, because how do you evaluate the play
of to a tongue of Iloa? How do you evaluate him?
Because he doesn't elevate the people around him. That does
not happen. And you know the answer, it's that classic

(07:04):
Doctor Seuss line. That sometimes the questions are complicated and
then the answers are simple or go if you look
at this, if the Dolphins defense and special teams right,
defense and special teams are on point, and when I
say on point, they're gonna have injuries, but the performance

(07:24):
is there, then Miami will have home field advantage. And
if the Dolphins have home field advantage, then sure there's
a world where Tua Tongue bai Loa becomes a Super
Bowl quarterback. But he's got to avoid playing at Kansas
City as we saw last year, Baltimore or Buffalo. You
gotta throw in all those other cold weather cities that

(07:46):
he could play in and no cold weather games. We
start with that, and we are not naive. We are
not naive to the fact that over the last generation
in the NFL we have seen absolute turnburgers like Rex Grossman,
Joe Flacco, Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, Nick Foles either go

(08:07):
to the Super Bowl, some of them won the Super Bowl.
They're grind and daddy of them all and stood head
and shoulders above everyone else in the NFL. And two
is on that short list of guys. Well, everything's great
around him and he played in South Florida, And sure,
why not? Right? Why not? However, again, I go back
to my premise that in my world, this is probably

(08:29):
a meat problem, not a dolphin problem. When I was
growing up, I was always told that you have to
pay people who elevate their teammates the top dollar. If
you're not that person, you don't get that money. And
times have changed. There's so much money in the NFL.
They they're they're like El Chapel. They're just burying money, right,

(08:49):
and the old stories about him, they're just bearing money.
There's so much money. Tua hasn't shown up yet at
the pro level in big games. That's established, But yet
the Dolphins are paying him anyway. They had to the
head of pay him. He was doing a hold in
all right. Now, final point, toss up question, toss up
question which quarterback between the two big free agent signing

(09:11):
extension signings over the weekend, which quarterback bigger Gamble, Jordan
Love or to a tongue of Biloa. So the answer,
my first answer is see none of the above. I'll
start with that and none of the above. It both
stories happened on Friday, all right. Both stories came out
on Friday, that's known as the takeout the trash Day,

(09:34):
the Friday news dump, which tells you that Dolphins and
Packers are not proud, they're not boastful about these moves.
They realize these are stupid moves. But they had to
do it, and so they did it when they tried
to do it to limit the amount of attention. So
they did it on a Friday, the day of the
opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Good luck. That is telling.

(09:54):
Now that said, both stories, both things happening at the
same time. I'm gonna give a slight lean to Jordan
Love being a bigger gamble, and because if you look
at Jordan Love, he's like visiting the barber shop and
splitting hairs. It really is an entire answer. But Tua

(10:15):
has shown to be a functional, regular season, good weather quarterback. Like, yeah,
you put up some big numbers if you're in fantasy football,
get you all horny and all that, and he'll feast
on some bad teams. And we saw we can run
up the score and all that. Blessed with gigantic torpedoes,
humongous torpedoes, and he's able to hit the bull's eye

(10:37):
on more occasions than not, and it does help. The
Tyreek Hill and Jalen Wattle Wattle Wattle Wattle are like
Sephora and they they're there there makeup guys. They make
up for a lot of these shortcomings of Tua tongue
of by Low. They hire a lot of the blemishes
and the imperfections of Tua. But the jury is still
out on Jordan Love at this point until proven otherwise,

(11:01):
he's a half season guy. He played well in the
second half of the season, but he's a half season
guy usually. And again, standards were different, standards have gone down.
I get it. I understand that's the world we live
in today, and hey, why not. But in the old days,
Jordan Love would not have gotten paid this money, and
of course it would be related to the top dollar

(11:22):
at that time. Obviously the money is cartoonish. At this
particular point, it is the Ben Malard Show. It is
a special night. The Mallord Palooza rolls on. We are
into our number two, number two of the Mallard Police.

(11:42):
Last hour. We had Bennett from the Pacific Northwest who
opened things up with comedy. We had Pam in Seattle,
a wonderful performance by Pamela short but wonderful performance, and
we also had keg drinking Steve who chimed in some
big name acts. Line here for hour number two of
the Malor Palooza as it rolls on, non stop entertainment

(12:07):
for every taste. Boy, we have some really whack adoodle
performances lined up for you this hour, and you can
play along and judge and all that. We will continue

But I didn't mean to do that. I went to
hit the button and then and then it went away.
So I'm sure we'll get him back right away and
then we'll get back to our next act. Wrong button,
ben Well, I didn't shut the whole network off, Eddie
did not shut the whole network, that's true. We've had
three acts so far. We had Bennett the comedian and
that did not go so well, our opening act. But
we also had Pam and Seattle and she did very well,

(14:30):
although did not get a high score from Inka Terror,
so that didn't go so well. And then we also
had Keg drinking Steve doing some kind of hog calling thing.
We're not sure exactly what that was, but Lrena liked it,
and that's about it. It was wonderful, Yes, just amazing. Okay,
Inkor Terror is back. I will attempt not to hang
up on him. Hello, Inca Terror, welcome back.

Speaker 8 (15:36):
All, I'd like to announce I really am a classically
trained musician. I've been a professional oboist for a long
time and did a lot of playing a run on
the country. But anyway, I just thought i'd throw that
in there. But this guy that came before that was
talking about hogs and Nebraska and all this kind of stuff.
We got a copyright on that stuff, and he can't

(15:58):
do that.

Charlotte has a son, and we're going to include him
today in the production.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Oh all right. For those that have not heard David's
work in Kansas, he is a master at pig sounds

Speaker 9 (18:48):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (18:51):
You got like fifteen seconds?

Speaker 5 (18:52):
Jesus you don't have to use the whole time, you know, yeah, you.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Gotta do it anyway for five seconds, all right, we
can go on call. Okay, there it is David and
his pig sounds in Kansas. The two minutes. Yes, up, yeah, okay,
so are you still going? There's still what it was?

(19:20):
What is going on? David? What are you doing? Okay?

Speaker 12 (19:27):
I know?

Speaker 1 (19:28):
No, please, no more. I will go for a scale
of one to ten. I am going to give the
pig sounds from David. I will give that a solid eight.
I'm going to go a solid eight. A little too long.
I would have gotten higher, Eddie.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
I will agree with the one criticism, a little bit
too long. I love that he was actually cracking himself
up while he was doing this. I oh, was he gatar?

Speaker 2 (19:50):
That was laughing?

Speaker 5 (19:51):
Okay, all right, right, well he was cracking all of
us up too. And then he was like banging on
a shovel or something. I don't know what the Brindo
thing was, but that was a music a little bit
too long, but amusing. I will go eight as well.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh you copied off my paper, Lorena.

Speaker 13 (20:04):
Wow, honestly, I'm so floored by that amazing rendition. The
fact that there was a pig hitting the d.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
I know you saw me dancing.

Speaker 13 (20:14):
That was probably my favorite thing ever.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
You dance a lot. I gotta give it a ten.
Oh my god. So just for the record, classically trained musician, Pam,
you gave it what an a two? Seven and a half?
Oh yeah, seven and nine? And then this you gave
a ten? A guy pretending to be a pig? Okay,
int could tear? Actually cool? GhIE Kopleloo. I'm sorry Coopleloo.

Speaker 12 (20:35):
So look, you know we heard we heard this act
last year and I thought, okay, how how is this
going to be any different? I was ready to give
it a low score, but honestly, Ringko might have been
the missing piece that just ties the band together. I was,
you know, great on the percussion, It's amazing. I'm gonna
give it an.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Eight and eight. Okay, solid eight?

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Way does anybody know what the tune was?

Speaker 1 (20:59):
He was, you know, okay it mat I wasn't inca.
What do you have inca?

Speaker 11 (21:04):
Uh?

Speaker 10 (21:05):
Yeah, there was?

Speaker 7 (21:06):
I agree with with Justin. I was wondering what.

Speaker 6 (21:10):
He was going to do.

Speaker 7 (21:11):
The only thing I was expecting that didn't happen. I
was hoping there would be an actual duo, like at
the same time.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Oh yeah, that's a good point.

Speaker 7 (21:20):
I think you can snort and do whatever that was
at the same time. So I don't know why he
didn't do that. So because of that, I'm giving him.
I gave cam An h Yeah, I have to give
him a seven.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Seven, all right, a seven. So David, thank you. David,
and Kansas big fan of the show. He's called up
for years doing pig impersonations. So there's two o the
thoughts I had on that act. Number one, it was
like a little bit of a hollering James vibe to it,
and had a little bit of hollering James to it. It
sounded like just his regular phone call when he falls asleep.
And then number two, I love the idea. I know

(21:56):
a lot of people don't consume radio the way who
used to be consumed, But I love the idea of
somebody driving on a dark road out in the boondocks,
scanning the dial to listen to something to rate, you know,
on the radio, and there's a guy singing like a pig.

Speaker 8 (22:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I love one.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I don't recognize that tune.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
I don't know that anyone still does that Eddie, but
I love the idea of that. I do. Okay, thank you, David,
good job by you, and you're one of the top
scores so far. We're four acts into the Mallet Palooza.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
Miami's Xavier Edwards hit for the cycle. Second time in
Marlin's history a player has hit for the.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Cycle as the other Marlin. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'm gonna actually look that up later. Maybe that'll be
a fun fact if we have those.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Well, we don't do. We're not today Today night we
got we got an ax Eddy, we got talent.

Speaker 5 (22:49):
Well, also not fun for the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys, they
suffered a loss over the weekend. Defensivevent Sam Williams, he
has done for the season. We all pass rushers suffered
its ACL on his left knee. This is what training
camp's gone for. Ready when it's good for it.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
It happened.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Crackle Pop, can't put him in a bubble.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
It happened. So there you go. He's done for the year.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
All right, It is the Ben Maler Show. We are
not done. We are not even midway through the Malard
Palooza twenty twenty four, as we were hanging out with
you all night, we just had David in the leadoff
spot here this hour from Kansas. He was regaling us
with some pig sounds, and I think, why don't we
go to our next act?

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Here?

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Do we have Kathy and Madison queued up here?

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Now?

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Kathy and Madison is the Hey Mona. She's famous on
the show Mona blew us away a couple of years ago,
so so amazing. Now Kathy is not able to call
into the live show where she lives. She's able to
listen to the show, and she's able to be on

(23:52):
social media, but she she can't be up that late
where I'm told we're having a problem with Kathy's as songs.
That's correct, coopolo, we're having technical difficulties. Kathy did send
in a song that she wanted us to play.

Speaker 12 (24:06):
She did, and when she initially sent it, that link worked, okay,
And now it says this video isn't available anymore.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Oh okay, Well, Kathy, then you'll have to she's listening
right now. So Kathy, reach out to us, let us
know what's going on or call in and maybe resend.

Speaker 12 (24:24):
Yeah, yes, well it's a it's a link to a
YouTube video. So I don't know if they just got
taken off.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Of YouTube, but copyright infringement.

Speaker 12 (24:33):
But yeah, either uploaded again and send us a new link, Kathy,
or or or calling and do a.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Live do a live baby. Yeah, well I don't think
she can. That's the problem. She had to send it in.
But hopefully we'll get it back, get the the file
back and we'll be able to do it. Let's say
hello our next act. Then we'll go to a show
regular very active on social media. We say hello to
fer Dog, who's our second act this hour. Hello for.

Speaker 11 (25:01):
Hey Ben.

Speaker 14 (25:02):
I should warn everyone that this is gonna be a
little more highbrow than the humor you're used to hearing
on this show, so please keep an open mind.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
All right, we can do highbrow from time to time.
I'm told you're doing comedy. Is that accurate?

Speaker 14 (25:13):
Yeah, I'm not going to make any pig sounds. I'm
not going to burp.

Speaker 9 (25:15):
No.

Speaker 14 (25:15):
For my act, I'll be telling knock knock jokes, so
I will get an assistant for that to work. So Eddie,
if you don't mind, would you please join me on
the stage.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Okay, okay, I'll give you two minutes. I'm gonna start
the clock. Are you ready to go?

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, ready, all right, two minutes you're on your way
and go.

Speaker 14 (25:32):
All right, let's start it off with a classic knock.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Knock, who's there?

Speaker 14 (25:36):
Ben?

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Ben?

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Who?

Speaker 14 (25:38):
Ben?

Speaker 6 (25:38):
Mallor?

Speaker 14 (25:40):
Okay? This next one's a little trickier. It's called the
reverse knock knock joke. You have to start it, Eddie.
Go ahead, knock knock, Who's there?

Speaker 2 (25:49):
I don't know?

Speaker 14 (25:52):
Hold on, time out, Eddie? Did you seriously forget your lines? H?

Speaker 2 (25:56):
I don't know the joke? So yes, I guess we.

Speaker 14 (25:58):
S just rehearsed it thirty minutes ago, Eddie? Are you
seriously trying to sabotage my act?

Speaker 2 (26:02):
There was no rehearsals.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Screwing this guy over?

Speaker 6 (26:04):
Eddie?

Speaker 14 (26:04):
What are we doing on the talent show? You're gonna
after you screw me up? I'll probably never be a
led on again. Is that what you want to?

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Come on?

Speaker 2 (26:10):
There was no rehearsal. You just sprung this on me out.

Speaker 14 (26:13):
Of the cheating on the game shows, Eddie.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
Oh, I see what he's doing now, he's doing what
we call a mallor in the business.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
He's lying. There was no rehearsal.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
He just sprung this on me.

Speaker 14 (26:28):
So Eddie, sit down, Coop, I need you to.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Guess what your score is going to be.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Okay hoo. If you want to help out, hurry up, please,
you still have one minute, one minute, please, one minute?

Speaker 11 (26:39):
Knock?

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Who's there?

Speaker 14 (26:41):
Brian?

Speaker 12 (26:42):
Brian Who?

Speaker 14 (26:43):
Brian Findley? Thank you everyone, You've been a terrific audience.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
All right, there you go, start the judge.

Speaker 14 (26:49):
I'd like to I'd like to remind everyone that Eddie
tried to sabotage my act.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Okay, all right, that is fair to point out. Thank
you for dog tremendous bad job by Eddie. So I'll
go this is not the word I'm going to give
that since I was going to give him, like, like
a minus five because that was terrible, but then when
you factor in that Eddie sabotaged the comedy, I'm going
to give I'll give him a five. I'm going to

(27:13):
give him a five for.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Eddie, then I will give him a minus five.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Ridiculous, Okay, a minus five, and what about you, Lorraine?

Speaker 13 (27:24):
Wait, so he wasn't doing a ben mallor impression and
like fighting with Eddie, that wasn't his skit.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
If it was, and I would have.

Speaker 12 (27:31):
Been more, I think that would have been better. I
would have given him points.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
But knock knock jokes.

Speaker 12 (27:36):
I'll give him a three a three, okay, kupolu, I'm
gonna have to go minus three minus three.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, that was awful.

Speaker 7 (27:46):
What does that leave.

Speaker 11 (27:49):
Well?

Speaker 1 (27:49):
He could tear, though you could tear. What do you
have here.

Speaker 11 (27:53):
Inco I'm going to be very even about this zero?

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Okay, So that is our first zero crawl to match
his IQ. Good luck. Just because you don't have super
fans like that, Eddie, you don't have to be jealous.

you time.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
This is Trevor aka spos Weed. And what will you
be doing here, spos Weed?

Speaker 6 (32:08):
I will be I will be doing a serious rendition
of a Frank Sinatra song. I'm gonna do show you
a side of me you've never seen. Usually it's pretty snarky,
but this is this is a song I've sung to
my wife in public. I'm a I'm a kind of
a karaoke guy, and I'm gonna try to do it sweet.
I'm gonna try to do it true, and I'm going
to try to really have a nice talent show here.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Okay, that's good. We want that as a high class show.
As you know, this is not low class. Were high
class all the way. And you need anything must at
all here? Do you need anything at all? Trevor aka
spos Weed.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
I'm gonna hum the instrumentals. All I want. All I
want to do is let you know that I you know,
the song is longer than what your what your time
limit is, so when it's time to cut me off,
just kind of let me know.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
All right, Yeah, you got two minutes of solid airtime.
You don't have to use all of it, but you
want to use all of it. You more than happy
to do it, and you're ready to go. Yes, yeah,
all right.

Speaker 11 (33:04):
It gets to sing on the radio.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Not very many people, No, a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
All right, here we go.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
We'll put h'll put the two minutes on the clock.
In our next act in the Malapalooza twenty twenty four
is Trevor from Oregon. You're on your way, all right.

Speaker 15 (33:19):
Some day, when I'm awfully low, when the worlds cold,
I will feel a glue just thinking of you. Just
the look too nice.

Speaker 11 (33:47):
M Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm and
your cheeks so soft. There is nothing for me but
to love you, just the way you look too night.

(34:13):
No da da da da da. With each word, your
tenderness goes tearing my fear apod.

Speaker 8 (34:29):
And that laugh.

Speaker 11 (34:32):
Wrinkles your nose touches my foolish home. Lovely, don't you
ever change? Keep that breathless charm? Won't you please arrange it?

(34:56):
Cause I love you.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
That's that's enough, Sure, absolutely, I said fifteen seconds. But
that's enough. All right there it is our next axbox Weed,
a tribute to Frank Sinatra. The way you look tonight.
There I'll go first. He's much better than some of
the stuff that we've had here. Obviously appreciated that. I

(35:23):
like the little touches that he added to the middle
of that. I don't have tons of time, so I'll
give him. I'm gonna give Spoxwed a solid seven, a
solid seven, Eddie.

Speaker 5 (35:34):
I'd love to know what missus Spoxweed thinks when he
sings that song to her. It's very nice, a cappella,
very hard doing that on the radio. Thought he did
a good job, and I had already written it down.
I'm not copying you.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
I also gave him a seven unbelievable, what are the odds?
And Lorena who was jumping up and down there celebrating song,
singing your your Home and along.

Speaker 13 (35:56):
I love music, Ben, I really do. But I'm also
kind of a stickler. Called me the Simon Cowell of
the Ben Mallard Pola unless it's that is.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
The worst breath work I've ever heard.

Speaker 13 (36:06):
On Wow, if you kept on blowing in my ear
like that, I hope your breath smells good. Anyways, Yeah,
I'm gonna give you a five point six, five.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Point six, a very odd score that even what score
is that? I don't even know what kind that is?
An odd score and.

Speaker 12 (36:21):
Half numbers at least.

Speaker 16 (36:22):
Yeah, five point five all right, uh man, I'm I
think he's a little harsh look, you know, like Eddie said,
he's going acapella.

Speaker 12 (36:32):
He's on a cell phone. So I mean, the breathing
is it gonna it's gonna be amplified.

Speaker 7 (36:38):
You know.

Speaker 12 (36:38):
I was gonna say something about that, but you know,
we deal with what we've got here. He wasn't scheduled
the notes. I never cringed at any of them. In fact,
when when we hit the bigger notes, I was like, okay, okay,
I'm gonna give it an eight an eight.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Wow, So you coop by math is you gave Pam
in Seattle an eight and you gave spos Weed in eight. Okay?
All right, yeah that's correct. Shock.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
He's an amateur and she's a professional. I can understand.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
I understand. All right, let's see, who do we have
in Katerra? Of course, are celebrity judge, classically trained musician
in ka Terra in New York? Hello, Inca.

Speaker 7 (37:16):
Yeah, that was more of a Dean Martin styling. But
it was very effective. I agree with Florina though I
think we're mind melding she and I. But yeah, it
was pretty impressive for who he was and where he
was and all that. I'm gonna go seven.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Seven Okay, so three seven's five point five from Lorena
and the highest score from spox Weed in eight eight.

Speaker 6 (37:40):
All right, that is that is terrific. And I know
I'm in the middle of the pack, and I appreciate
you listening to me anyway.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
All right, well, thank you spos Weed. Appreciate your work
on social media. Get back to whatever you're doing there
in Oregon. Is we have our third act and still
no Kathy in Madison? Right, I was still efforting Kathy.
Kathy sent me the same link eighteen times. Here we
have it. It's we have it right, it's next hour.
We'll have it next hour. Then very good and when

(38:09):
we get any drops out of it. But you have
the hey Mona, which is an all time great drop
for this. Several of the fans of the show were
saying that the performance earlier from who was It, that
there were drops there Da David, David the ringo. But
the ringo is a drop. Take it ringo because he

(38:30):
said that multiple times, and that reminds me that it
doesn't remind me. I was on the phone with the
pob when he used to work here. The great Pat O'Brien,
longtime sportscaster and I'm on the phone with him, right
and whatever. I have a casual conversation. He says, Ben,
I got to put you on hold. I've got Ringo
on the other line. I got Ringo. He also did

(38:53):
he put me on hold one time because he said
he had Yoko Yoko ono on the line. Pob Man,
that's classic po B pumping his chest out right in
