Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our n Bert as we set
the world on It's here an hour two. It's like
Anthony Richardson set the NFL world into a tizzy by
being benched. Now, Richardson, the Colts quarterback, said to be
devastated by his indie demotion. Can you explain why? Also,
(00:22):
where does Anthony Richardson go from here with the Colts?
As you have a future? While Jets interim coach Jeff
Olbrichs said Sauce Gardner's tackling needs to get better. How
does that one hit you? Also, Celtics coach Joe Mizzoula
let him play. Joe wants the NBA to have power
plays and in game fights. Are you on board with
(00:44):
Joe Missoula's radical plan? Yeah? He might have been kidding,
but it's still fun to talk about. We'll discuss all
that and more right now as we try to move
the needle the VU meter on the board here it
is our number two. Go ahead and greet I have
some bench. Well come in the beginning of another hour
(01:07):
of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air
everywhere beside one another, as we have the hottest beats
around unless we don't coast to coast, board to the

(01:54):
we are back at it again. The World Series will
go to a game number five, so we don't have
to obsess with that. The Yankees won, good news, saved
one hundred and fifty million dollars in add money by
that series going to game five. But our lead this
hour from the carousel, the quarterback carousel. The wings of
change are blowing in Indy. And if you have not heard,
(02:18):
perhaps not, we learned that the Colts have decided to
pull the plug on their forever quarterback. There number one
drafted quarterback, he was first round pick in twenty back
in twenty twenty three, Anthony Richardson, and they are instead
turning to veteran Joe Flacco. That's right, Joe Flacco Blacko
(02:44):
will be the starting quarterback this weekend. Now, the coaches
for the Colts met on Tuesday morning, and ultimately they
decided to make the change. They opted for the the
ro ton, not rotn that what's the word. I'm the
seasoned Flaco, He's not fat, the season Flacco over the
incompetent Richardson. Now, those plugged into the situation say, Richardson
(03:09):
pretty devastated by the demotion. And that is the meaty
part of the story, that line right there, that Richardson
is pretty devastated by the demotion. So let us discuss
the question Anthony Richardson, the devastation of it all by
his indie benching. Can you explain why? Can you explain why?
(03:32):
So I've got browsing, spice rack, and sumo, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make the cough button, which I'm going to
hit right now. All right, So number why, Anthony Richardson
(03:53):
must think that he's living in some kind of a
video game. The Colts quarterback must think he's living in
some kind of video game. If he is stunned and
devastated by this move. In fact, I would argue, and
I said this earlier on in the show, but I'm
going to repeat it for those of you late to
the room. The coach did not bench Anthony Richardson. He
(04:15):
benched himself. This is a loss of rank by the player,
not the team, because Richardson had been absolute crap all season,
but yet they kept rolling him out there, despite all
the incomplete passes, they kept sending him out there. And
the reason he got benched was because he said, I
(04:36):
want to go to the bench. Richardson not only a quarterback.
He was terrible and there's no other way to say it.
No signs of improvement. And yet there are the quarterback
apologists out there is oh, you go to raw deal.
How exactly did you get a raw deal? The NFL
is not a developmental league. It's not they give you
an opportunity. You have to show some signs of progress.
(04:59):
If you you're out your neck deep and Quicksand that's
what Richardson was. It's one thing to be bad, right,
It's one thing to be bad and learn on the job.
It's another thing to go a wall. And that's what
happened here. Richardson asked to come out of Sunday's game
against the Texans, for there was one play, but the
(05:19):
optics on this are terrible. He then told the media's
ovs tired.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
A lot of you boys are former military. Some of
you are in the military right now. And you know,
if you're you serve time in the United States military.
There's a term they have for someone that does what
Richardson did. It's called a dereliction of duties. Richardson abandoned
his post and he said, it's only one play. But
I'll bet you there's other guys on the Colts and
every team in the NFL that are tired and would
(05:45):
like to come out of the game, but they don't
do it because you're not supposed to do. It's a
war of attrition. Now. Internally, the Colts are telling all
their buddies in the media, They're like, oh, listen, Richardson.
You know, he's still got his time. He's still the
quarterback of the future. His time is not over. One
report that I read said the benching was a I
love this a growth opportunity, a growth opportunity for Richardson,
(06:08):
and they insisted that the Colts are not quitting on Anthony.
So I ask you the question, I'll answer first. Are
the Colts getting out of Anthony Richardson business? So the
answer I'm not in my head. Yes, at the very least,
what they're doing is browsing. They're doing some window shopping.
They're surfing around the internet. They're looking for a deal
(06:31):
right seeing what's available. Richardson is no longer in the
bubble of trust. Not that he was actually in it ever,
but he was at least part of the inner circle.
And he's got nobody to blame but himself. Now, Joe
Flacco is not the long term answer. And people always
freak out, well, you don't have your forever quarterback. Live
in the moment, okay. The cults are living in the moment,
(06:53):
and I'm okay with it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Speaking of living in the moment, we headed Jersey Tage
number two and that is where the Jet We'll take
on the Texans, another primetime game for the Jets. They
continue to shove them down a throats. I mean, can
somebody call an audible, please my god. Anyway, the Jets
are playing the Texans on Thursday night to kick off
Week nine in the NFL. The interim coach will have
(07:17):
no chance of being the permanent coach. Jeff Olbrick. He
commented on his star defensive back who's got a big
mouth and also apparently lacking some football talent lately, Sauce Gardener. So,
Jeff Olbrick commented the interim coach about Sauce Gardner's tackling
(07:37):
needs to get better. So question, how does that one
hit you that the coach, interim coach of the Jets
publicly put his name on Sauce Gardener and the poor tackling.
So this is what's known as easy peasy, Right if
you look at the spice rack, you ever had bad sauce,
you know, So it just doesn't hit you, right, you
(07:59):
know what I'm talking? Yeah, exactly. So you need to add,
you know, maybe some onions. I like garlic. I add
a little more garlic, other herbs, whatever, dress it up. Uh,
that's what's going on. Sauce Gardner's got the name. His
game is lacking though, and they they've been having these conversations.
I always say, with these stories, and I'm never wrong
(08:20):
about these stories. When when it gets public, when it
bubbles up to the service like this, when it's up
at the service how long has this been going on internally? Right,
They've been having these conversations behind closed doors for some time,
and now Oldbrick is saying the quiet part out loud.
It's not easier, right, interim coach, You're not long for
the Jets. That's a star player. But the facts are
(08:41):
the facts, and the numbers back up that Sauce Gardner
has been just a jabbroni out there, just a guy.
Gardner a missing tackle a rate this year almost twenty
five percent, twenty three point three percent misstackle rate that
is the seventh worst among all defensive backs in the NFL,
(09:02):
the seventh worst miss tackle rate. He's a matador o
leo leole. Yeah, that's what he is. He's a metal
Now He's mistackles more than twice as often as his
previous career average prior to this year. So there is
a problem. No one's going to cry an ocean for
Sauce Gardner. He's got a big mouth, and he's very
(09:23):
popular on the social media and all that is not
exactly living up to his star status. Not final point.
We pivot to pro bouncy Ball and a very bizarre
story that a listener in Boston sent me and I said,
you know what, this is right in my wheelhouse. God,
bless you, God, thank you for this. So, during an
(09:44):
appearance on the home of the Ben Mallers Show in
the Commonwealth ninety eight to five, The Sports Hub Joe
Mizzoula coach Joe Joe Mizoula, he was asked, hey, rather
benign question, Joe Mosula is, I said what rule changes
would you like to see in the NBA? And he
(10:05):
answered the question. Now, he didn't say, hey, I'd like
to see a sixth foul or I like to see
three technicals. No, Joe Mizoula asked what rule changes he
would like to see in the NBA. He said, Hey,
why don't we add power plays and in game fights
to the NBA. Let me repeat that. Joe Mozula, coach
(10:28):
of the reigning champions of the NBA, and I'm pretty
sure he wasn't kidding here. I'm pretty sure he wasn't kidding,
said he would like to see the NBA add power
plays and in game fights. Are you on board? How
about why plus E plus s? What does that? Yes?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yes? Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
What does that spell?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
All? Right?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
This is the epitome of coloring outside the lines. Now, sure,
as Missoula said, it's entertainment, it show business. Now, it
was pretty much his point. But man, I want to
have what he' saying. He's having his own tea parties.
What he's having, he's guzzling that ayahuasca tea from the
Amazon is what he's doing here. And I recommend now
(11:11):
here you're gonna have in game fighting, you got to
keep it somewhat safe. So how about those inflatable sumo
suits and you pause the game for five good minutes
and right at mid court you put it in a
little ring. You have the cheer squad, bring out a ring,
and you have the sumo suits and player A versus
player B for five minutes and they can bump bellies.
(11:33):
They can just go ahead to head bumping bellies in
those inflatable sumo suits. How about this idea power Slap
Cross promotion NBA Power Slap. You set a table up,
a card table right over the mid court logo, and
you adjudicate the beefs by having each player sit there
and slap each other right at mid court. Yeah, that's what.
(11:54):
Why not? Now as far as the power plays Joe
Mozula said there should be power plays where on a
technical foul instead of a technical being where you just
get the ball out of bounds in a foul shot.
He said, you play five on four for five seconds
or three passes. So five on four for five seconds
(12:18):
or three passes. He wasn't kidding about them. Joe Mozula,
sleepy Joe, let him play. Joe. Joe Mazula there, coach
of the Celtics, and that's a great idea. Of course,
I would argue that the NBA being objective here, they
already play five on four quite a bit because normally
one of the five players on defense is sleeping. They're
(12:38):
in zombie mode. And remember the Celtics coach Joe Mizoula,
he scoff said all the talk about media pressure. We
didn't make a big deal about this on the show
back when he said it a couple of weeks ago.
But Joe Mozoula talked about all the pressure of the
Celtics to repeat and all that. He said, well, it
doesn't there's no pressure because we'll all be dead soon.
(12:59):
That was his Joe Mozula. He wants the NBA to
add fighting and the power play. Power play power play.
I remember a couple of years ago they were legitimately
talking about adding a four point line, that that was
something they were considering, and I haven't heard much about
that recently. It just demends if the ratings keep going
down in the NBA, people aren't watching on television, they'll
(13:21):
do something to spice it up.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
There'll be some kind of alteration to make it more
interesting to try to get people engaged to watch. They
got that fugaise in season tournament bull crap that should
be starting here soon. That kind of stuff. It is

players claims that he has found the fountain of youth.
Se what yeah, one of the old geezers in the
(14:04):
NFL has found the fountain of youth. Now, what is
the fountain of youth? I know what he said, is
the fountain of youth? Over with Ponce de Leone, We'll

Rolling through the overnaight of Mallard of the third degree,
coming up in a little bit. It's the up and
down world we live in Masshole, Mickey writes in from
the Commonwealth. He says, Joel Mozoula does his weekly spot
with Zolac and bertrand there on the station in Boston
from ten to two, and I'm more of a joke
and a silly segment type thing. He thinks that Missoula
(15:31):
was being sarcastic. Well, remember, though, mass Ol Mickey, there's
a little bit of truth in every joke. There's a
little bit of truth in every joke there is. Cowboy
Drew says, I tried the Fountain of Youth drink and
it seemed to give me some pain relief after I
dislocated my shoulder. Okay, we'll get to that Fountain of
(15:52):
Youth drink in a minute. And King Roy says his
benching of Richardson is being blown The benching of Richardson,
rather Anthony Richardson is being blown out of proportion. Besides,
he wouldn't have been able to play Sunday because kickoff
against the Vikings is past his bedtime. But lame jokes
are on Friday. Lame jokes are on Friday. Bad job
(16:13):
by you, Scrooge writes in says, so, man, what you're
saying is Sauce Gardner is a system defensive back rather
than his talent that makes him great. If so, I
totally agree. Well, I like Sauce Gardner. I want to
pull for Sauce Gardener because he's crazy, he's nuts and
(16:34):
all that right, next level, so I want to pull
for him. However, he got to back it up right.
These guys that talk a lot, and I'm all for talking.
I do a talk show, I talk all the time,
I talk a lot. I'm all for talking, but I
am concerned when you do not back it up, you
do not back it up right. That troubles me greatly.
(16:56):
And so that is my issue with Sauce Gardner. Chip
and the Q's rites In says eight plus on the
mall of monologue. He says, somebody needs to remind the
colts that the growth talk sounds nice, but that a
ward is also a growth. It's a good line. I
feel like I've used that line in the past, but
(17:16):
that's a solid line. I think I use tumor uh.
Tumor often grows, and when it grows, that's a bad thing.
You don't want it to grow. You want those to
Nacro Spaccoli writes in from North Carolina, says, the next
step for Anthony Richardson is retiring at halftime. Like Vonte Davis, Well,
it's on the table. It's a card on the table
(17:38):
for sure. Absolutely, Who else do we have? Page down?
I say, I can't read that on the air. All right,
we'll go to the calls and let's see who do
we have eeny meenie, miney mo. Let's take a call
and we will say hello to I don't know who
do I want to tell? Let's go to Steven Manhattan.
Let's see how much trash Steven Manhattan's talking. Hello, Steve
(18:00):
oh in Manhattan.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
It's the thirty sixth anniversary of the Great Pumpkin Game.
Jets bills, then distinguished panel, expanding audience. I am worn
out from last night's game and those fans that got
thrown out and just like the guy who caught the
ball and dared, those are all shots of the glabor
tour as his bat. I mean, is he given those
guys tickets to interfew with his plays? I would throw
(18:24):
that out to the.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Audience, and yes, yes, a labor to is is he
knows exactly where he's going to hit the ball, and
he's able to buy tickets in those areas. He's amazing,
he's a magician, or.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
He's got a lot of guys planted out there right.
First of all it was up for grabs. I mean,
if I'm sitting there, I catch the ball, no questions asked.
Those guys are just they you know, they couldn't get
out of their own way. The guy people to watch it,
he was the Yankee fan was peeling. He was he
(18:58):
was peeling the ball at a beck glove. And it
looks like if the bolting pop away look like he
might have eaten it, he would put the other guy
and put some mustard on it something, and they ate it. Now,
I want to ask the crowds and sne and then
you got the fans if you want to call it in,
go right ahead. Who cares if you're pissed off about losing?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
The thing?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Is? Is there a jail in Yankee Stadium?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Now?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I couldn't confirm that there was a jail in the
old Yankee Stadium. When you went downstairs from directly behind
the ole plate and.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
You held the left, you walk past the visiting dugout,
and then another twenty thirty forty feet, then you made
a turn to left, and then in you were actually
in the Yankee jail.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Now, I'm just gonna say I was looking at the jail.
Don't try to say I was in that jail. Now
fans throwing stuff at ballparks, I mean, come on, the
New York fans like they hold the record for that
Pete Rose in seventy three. They were throwing stuff at
Pete Rose. But I didn't even think people would bring
into a ballpark. They tore a the front end of
(20:00):
a car out of them and stuff, and the players
had to go out there and beg the fans the
knock the wall or they were going to forfeit the game.
I remember as the kid, I remember gym right getting
his going toward a foul role with the shortstop and
the third base thing.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh yeah, but not just in New York though. I
mean they were fans in Candlestick Park would throw batteries
on the field. Philadelphia, They're legendary for throwing crap on
the field. It happened to a lot of places. It
still happens. It's not as much, but it still happens.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, but no other fan base had the Great Pumpkin Game.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Come on, man, hey, I was let me tell you something.
The last time a baseball game was forfeited Steve in Manhattan,
I was there. Dodgers played the Cardinals. It was ball
night and Tommy Lasorda incited the fans to throw the
balls in the field because of a controversial call, and
the Dodgers ended up forfeiting that game because they couldn't
get the fans to stop throwing the balls on the
(20:52):
field at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
That's amazing because Billy Martin was present at both the
night balls and he was off there for the Disco
Night at Usky Park.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Well, who was he working for? Was he? Because that
was a White Sox Tigers game when it was Disco Demolition,
was a double header? Who was he? Who's he was?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
He?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
The Tigers manager at that time?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
He must been Beard Night in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
He was there, all right?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
But all right, But the I remember the Tigers because
one of the guys used to wear your Fox Sports
radio was a promotions guy at the radio station in
Chicago on Disco Demolition night in between games of a
doubleheader when they had a riot.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Wasn't Bernie Fratto there too?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Was Bernie there? I don't know remember the one of
the sales guys years ago, Eddie. Yes, I know, really
great guy, typical Chicago guy, big personality guy. And he
told me all about it. He's oh, we thought no
one was going to show up, and and then people
kept showing up and they were sneaking into Komiskey Park
because the security was terrible because it was like a
mom and pop business back then. Uh you know when
(21:58):
was that the late seventies, early eighties, something like that,
long time ago. But anyway, night listen, Steve. If anybody
wants to call up and harass you there, if I'll
put you on hold, they can call up and rest.
But let me wait, await what what what?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Also two of the greatest craziest concerts ever were in
New York City at Madison Square Garden. Judas Priest got
banned even though they came in with the Grass of
Glasses where McEnroe was playing in a tennis tournament in
the garden. And then the Nuge, who had a C
d C open for them on August fourth, nineteen seventy nine,
(22:34):
they tore that joint apart. All right, now, the doets
fans want to call in? Listen, you go, you go
right ahead and call in and let me tell you
up before before I wait on hold. I did see
Ford Apache. It was on fifteen Avenue and then I
saw it when they turned it into the little house
in the prairie.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Well, all right, thank you, Steve. Hold on. Anyone wants
to harass Steve, you can who doesn't like take Well,
he gets tired and hangs up, and you can call
up on a road. I totally just hung up on him.
All right, we just hung up on Steve, So don't
bother calling. I'm sure he'll call back.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Though.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
At some point he'll call back because he's addicted to
talk radio, and he'll call back, and I have a
feeling one of the other guys, I'm looking at the
board here, one of the other guys will attack him,
so he'll get upset and a call back.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
So what is the Fountain of youth? The human beings
since the beginning of humanity have been trying to find
out what is it. Well, apparently Aaron Rodgers has found
the fountain of youth, a drink that is helping him
stay young. Rogers says that his new drink was recommended
(23:45):
by thirty eight year old punter Thomas Morstead and how
to handle the injuries. Rogers is in his twentieth NFL season,
and the Jets, I don't know if you know this.
They blow, They're terrible. What do they suck? And he
now Rogers that TIMO, that's a cool way of saying.
Thomas Morstead recommended a Fountain of Youth beverage. Now this
(24:09):
does not come from paste Leone in Florida, known for
the Fountain of Youth, but it is. He says, it's
all legal. Of course. He says he takes cayenne pepper
and mixes it with water, and he says that's his
secret power. Don't don't say, but I just did say.
(24:30):
It's cayenne pepper and water. Now I have done this.
I didn't realize I was drinking the Fountain of Youth drink.
But one of my home remedies in my bag of
remedies here, uh is none other, none other than than
kyan pepper. I usually use garlic, raw garlic. But I
(24:51):
I did try this because he's supposed to knock some
you know, knock your wake you up a little bit,
kind of knock you around. And it didn't really do
much for me. But kyenne pepper is a very powerful pepper,
as you might imagine, and it goes back many many generations.
People love their cayenne pepper. Now I mentioned Cowboy Drew
tried it and he said it did give him some
(25:13):
pain Relief's supposed to boost your metabolism, improve circulation. Pain
relief reduces hunger, all that stuff, allegedly. Allegedly. Milkman Mike
in Colorado said he enjoyed the second hour monologue. A
wall effort of Richardson looking like the Colts called a
(25:33):
code red, so he says, yes, alf the alien opiner
says cardiac Stanley fun fact the human heart creates enough
pressure when it pumps the squirt blood up to thirty
feet away. Well, that's outstanding. I'm sure Stanley appreciates that.
We'll get back to the calls and let's see here.
(25:56):
Let's see here Enie Meani, Miny Moe, and we will
say hello to Tuna in Laguna. Hello, Tuna, what's a
big man?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
How you been, dude? Tune?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
If I was any better, I would be Roberts, but
not Dave Roberts because he just tossed away a game
in the World Series.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Oh my god, you always hat on him. I don't understand.
First off, thank you, Coop.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
Your Broncos kept me alive in the survivor school, So
thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Well you really went out, You really went out on
a limb on that pick. Broncos and Panthers wait to
go out.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
And a limbit survivor told the ram I've been choosing
one and two win teams.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
All year and I'm so alive.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I did everything I could.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
We'll playing for the wind.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Thank you, Coop.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Do you like spicy tuna or regular tuna?
Speaker 8 (26:42):
All of it? The Yankee fan scrub going with the
reverse bartman?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
What was he trying to do there?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
He literally was trying to rip. Did a death roll
on Mookie's arm like that?
Speaker 8 (26:53):
Dude did a death roll on Justin Herbert's ankle?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
What is going on with these people?
Speaker 8 (26:58):
This was a free game Roberts gave away. We know
we're going back. We're gonna win the game on November first,
on event on Fernando's birthday on game six.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Oh is that right? You saw the script already? You
know you saw the script?
Speaker 9 (27:13):
Are you kidding it?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
All right? I didn't I didn't see. I didn't see.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
That's gonna get sweating yeah, there's no way.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
Come on, man, you there's too much money to be
put away.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
How come you? How come you're okay with throwing away
a game in the World Series? How is that okay
for you? I don't understand. I don't get it. I
don't understand.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
Top forty pitchers this year, we can't.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Let's throw forward of the wolves and we'll bring them
all back. We'll be fine. We're over here sooner.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
We're trying to burn down East La.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
We can't burn it down on a Wednesday.
Speaker 9 (27:44):
We've got to burn it down on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, wait till Friday. I did see the police were ready.
There was high alert around La. They were ready for
the riot.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
It's gonna be East La.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
It's got to be on a Friday, sir. And you
know what, don't crap on, Dave Roberts. We have Saint
Freddy Freeman, Saint Freddie.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Gibson to bring it to the Promised Land and we
will be just fine. Everyone relaxed.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
And those Yankee fans were schmucks.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Can we not lie? They were reverse Bartmans.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
That guy used. That guy used, He used the jaws
of life to try to get the glove open for
Mookie Betts. He tried to.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
I mean that guy and his hat was a black
Yankee hat, which is basically a Baltimore Oriol hat.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
That guy's a scrub Sando. He doesn't deserve.
Speaker 9 (28:25):
And he can't even eat.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
He shouldn't even be a lead at any New York
DELLI in the next ten years. I'm disgusted by that
behavior because if a Dodger did that, it would have
been one thousand x worse.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
And that's all I have to say.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
All right, go swim away. There's a tuna in Laguna,
swimming away where he goes only hun great tuna in Laguna.
I did see that. Lincoln Riley, at one point considered
one of the top three coaches in college football, not
(28:58):
anymore at the University of Selling California. A lot of
people in Oklahoma enjoying schodenfreude at the expense of Lincoln Riley.
But Lincoln Riley has now decided to ban the media
from SC practice. Course. Jude wonder, why would the media
want to cover SC They're so bad this year? But
he has now banned media access for the rest of
(29:22):
the season because it's obviously the media's fault that he's
a bad coach that Lincoln Riley couldn't coach his way
out of a paper bag. It's the media's fault, and
so he's decided to go to war with the media
because that always goes well. That always goes well. They
never get the last word at all. Let's go to
the phones. We'll say hello to Blind Scott, Hello, Blind Scott.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Oh hey Ben, did.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
You know by going to Game five they save one
hundred and fifty million dollars in advertisement money major League Baseball?
Like they would have lost all that money.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I heard that somewhere like five minutes ago. I heard
that's is that funny?
Speaker 9 (29:59):
I tell you it's it's radio call. You just regurgitate
something that someone else says. These idiots that call in
your show, you hope you host an open house of
idiots all night long. They can't even do something that easy,
you know, Like it's unbelievable. Like this guy Jerome jumping
Jerome and Charlestown. He's confusing deadbeat dads with nepotism. I
(30:20):
bet this kid, this guy Jerome, don't take care of
his kids. He throwned my life on the air once.
He's trying to give credit for Lebron James getting his
son into the league. That's the worst father you could
ever be, getting your kid a job for no reason.
You're literally setting your kid up to enter mcclage Center
with all the other lunatics. Man, he's going to be
in the rubber room in a few years. Then, my
(30:41):
dad always gave me everything. I hate my daddy, you
know what I mean? You know, I was also wondering.
Loraina didn't say anything on the show tonight till Tuna
came on it. So Tuna is a plant. I think
I think that's Loraina's boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
It's almost like Loraina was sleeping the first of the show.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I have no idea idea. Sounds like we thought she
was in a ditch on the side of the road.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
What.
Speaker 9 (31:06):
Yes, you know Dodger fans have don't manage all. I
knew that guy that threw the pizza at the Red
Sox game, that type of way where stuff happens at
Dodger Stadium. It's so dangerous around there, man, you guys
go people camping out living on the streets around there,
you know what I mean. Nobody's doing that, and then
the other stadium. So you can't say that your fans
are better than anybody else or whatever.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
But if you if you go side by sideline, Scot,
I know you didn't see this, but on side by side,
like the guy that interfered at Dodger Stadium, he's trying
to catch the ball and all that he realized immediately
he screwed up. The Yankee fan not only did they
not think they screwed up, they literally tried to rip
the glove off Mookie Bets team like they knew they
(31:46):
were in the raw. They thought they were in the right.
Speaker 9 (31:48):
Well, he was at Red Sox. I I know, I
got like a lot of cousins, Like I got like
sixty cousins and I'm and they live in west Haven, Somebham.
They might know this guy. Maybe we get him on
the fifth hour. This guy, this dude is Lorenum with
some of His name is Army Hammer. He dated this
woman I know from what SA and he just has
a brand new podcast. I'my Hammer. You should get him
on the fifth hour. You need more guests on the
(32:10):
fifth hour. You could ask Glence the bus driver and
next time he comes about that bench McMahon lawsuit. Did
you hear me the number two on someone's head?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
You know like it it's alleged in a loss. I mean, Clay,
you can claim anything. You know, I could sue you
as you know, you see a lot of people, Scott, right.
Speaker 9 (32:29):
Yeah, you can see anybody. I got one ready. I
got a personal injury lawyer. You've done thirty five Venucot Street.
He's ready for me. You just want to fall down
and call him up right away, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah? You know some people go out and they work hard,
blind blind Scott, just as I let me go through
all the billboard lawyers here in Boston, and I can
file these lawsuits and get workers comp. Or now it's
not even a workers comp It's like slip and fall,
right Scott. Around Boston, the sidewalks are.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
Like dude grands for that. Hey, uh man, I totally
lost my thought. Now I'm tired and I have.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
To go to bed.
Speaker 1 (32:59):

Richardson ranks dead last in the NFL and completion percentage
and it's not even close. Somehow, this dude's completing less
than forty five percent of his passes. That seems impossible
in the modern NFL, how easy it is. Currently that
is the lowest by any quarterback in a season since Blank.

That is the instant trivia. What is the answer. We

four years ago, the year two thousand
Hello and welcome. It's our n Bert as we set
the world on It's here an hour two. It's like
Anthony Richardson set the NFL world into a tizzy by
being benched. Now, Richardson, the Colts quarterback, said to be
devastated by his indie demotion. Can you explain why? Also,
(00:22):
where does Anthony Richardson go from here with the Colts?
As you have a future? While Jets interim coach Jeff
Olbrichs said Sauce Gardner's tackling needs to get better. How
does that one hit you? Also, Celtics coach Joe Mizzoula
let him play. Joe wants the NBA to have power
plays and in game fights. Are you on board with
(00:44):
Joe Missoula's radical plan? Yeah? He might have been kidding,
but it's still fun to talk about. We'll discuss all
that and more right now as we try to move
the needle the VU meter on the board here it
is our number two. Go ahead and greet I have
some bench. Well come in the beginning of another hour
(01:07):
of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air

(01:54):
we are back at it again. The World Series will
go to a game number five, so we don't have
to obsess with that. The Yankees won, good news, saved
one hundred and fifty million dollars in add money by
that series going to game five. But our lead this
hour from the carousel, the quarterback carousel. The wings of
change are blowing in Indy. And if you have not heard,
(02:18):
perhaps not, we learned that the Colts have decided to
pull the plug on their forever quarterback. There number one
drafted quarterback, he was first round pick in twenty back
in twenty twenty three, Anthony Richardson, and they are instead
turning to veteran Joe Flacco. That's right, Joe Flacco Blacko
(02:44):
will be the starting quarterback this weekend. Now, the coaches
for the Colts met on Tuesday morning, and ultimately they
decided to make the change. They opted for the the
ro ton, not rotn that what's the word. I'm the
seasoned Flaco, He's not fat, the season Flacco over the
incompetent Richardson. Now, those plugged into the situation say, Richardson
(03:09):
pretty devastated by the demotion. And that is the meaty
part of the story, that line right there, that Richardson
is pretty devastated by the demotion. So let us discuss
the question Anthony Richardson, the devastation of it all by
his indie benching. Can you explain why? Can you explain why?
(03:32):
So I've got browsing, spice rack, and sumo, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make the cough button, which I'm going to
hit right now. All right, So number why, Anthony Richardson
(03:53):
must think that he's living in some kind of a
video game. The Colts quarterback must think he's living in
some kind of video game. If he is stunned and
devastated by this move. In fact, I would argue, and
I said this earlier on in the show, but I'm
going to repeat it for those of you late to
the room. The coach did not bench Anthony Richardson. He
(04:15):
benched himself. This is a loss of rank by the player,
not the team, because Richardson had been absolute crap all season,
but yet they kept rolling him out there, despite all
the incomplete passes, they kept sending him out there. And
the reason he got benched was because he said, I
(04:36):
want to go to the bench. Richardson not only a quarterback.
He was terrible and there's no other way to say it.
No signs of improvement. And yet there are the quarterback
apologists out there is oh, you go to raw deal.
How exactly did you get a raw deal? The NFL
is not a developmental league. It's not they give you
an opportunity. You have to show some signs of progress.
(04:59):
If you you're out your neck deep and Quicksand that's
what Richardson was. It's one thing to be bad, right,
It's one thing to be bad and learn on the job.
It's another thing to go a wall. And that's what
happened here. Richardson asked to come out of Sunday's game
against the Texans, for there was one play, but the
(05:19):
optics on this are terrible. He then told the media's
ovs tired.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
A lot of you boys are former military. Some of
you are in the military right now. And you know,
if you're you serve time in the United States military.
There's a term they have for someone that does what
Richardson did. It's called a dereliction of duties. Richardson abandoned
his post and he said, it's only one play. But
I'll bet you there's other guys on the Colts and
every team in the NFL that are tired and would
(05:45):
like to come out of the game, but they don't
do it because you're not supposed to do. It's a
war of attrition. Now. Internally, the Colts are telling all
their buddies in the media, They're like, oh, listen, Richardson.
You know, he's still got his time. He's still the
quarterback of the future. His time is not over. One
report that I read said the benching was a I
love this a growth opportunity, a growth opportunity for Richardson,
(06:08):
and they insisted that the Colts are not quitting on Anthony.
So I ask you the question, I'll answer first. Are
the Colts getting out of Anthony Richardson business? So the
answer I'm not in my head. Yes, at the very least,
what they're doing is browsing. They're doing some window shopping.
They're surfing around the internet. They're looking for a deal
(06:31):
right seeing what's available. Richardson is no longer in the
bubble of trust. Not that he was actually in it ever,
but he was at least part of the inner circle.
And he's got nobody to blame but himself. Now, Joe
Flacco is not the long term answer. And people always
freak out, well, you don't have your forever quarterback. Live
in the moment, okay. The cults are living in the moment,
(06:53):
and I'm okay with it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Speaking of living in the moment, we headed Jersey Tage
number two and that is where the Jet We'll take
on the Texans, another primetime game for the Jets. They
continue to shove them down a throats. I mean, can
somebody call an audible, please my god. Anyway, the Jets
are playing the Texans on Thursday night to kick off
Week nine in the NFL. The interim coach will have
(07:17):
no chance of being the permanent coach. Jeff Olbrick. He
commented on his star defensive back who's got a big
mouth and also apparently lacking some football talent lately, Sauce Gardener. So,
Jeff Olbrick commented the interim coach about Sauce Gardner's tackling
(07:37):
needs to get better. So question, how does that one
hit you that the coach, interim coach of the Jets
publicly put his name on Sauce Gardener and the poor tackling.
So this is what's known as easy peasy, Right if
you look at the spice rack, you ever had bad sauce,
you know, So it just doesn't hit you, right, you
(07:59):
know what I'm talking? Yeah, exactly. So you need to add,
you know, maybe some onions. I like garlic. I add
a little more garlic, other herbs, whatever, dress it up. Uh,
that's what's going on. Sauce Gardner's got the name. His
game is lacking though, and they they've been having these conversations.
I always say, with these stories, and I'm never wrong
(08:20):
about these stories. When when it gets public, when it
bubbles up to the service like this, when it's up
at the service how long has this been going on internally? Right,
They've been having these conversations behind closed doors for some time,
and now Oldbrick is saying the quiet part out loud.
It's not easier, right, interim coach, You're not long for
the Jets. That's a star player. But the facts are
(08:41):
the facts, and the numbers back up that Sauce Gardner
has been just a jabbroni out there, just a guy.
Gardner a missing tackle a rate this year almost twenty
five percent, twenty three point three percent misstackle rate that
is the seventh worst among all defensive backs in the NFL,
(09:02):
the seventh worst miss tackle rate. He's a matador o
leo leole. Yeah, that's what he is. He's a metal
Now He's mistackles more than twice as often as his
previous career average prior to this year. So there is
a problem. No one's going to cry an ocean for
Sauce Gardner. He's got a big mouth, and he's very
(09:23):
popular on the social media and all that is not
exactly living up to his star status. Not final point.
We pivot to pro bouncy Ball and a very bizarre
story that a listener in Boston sent me and I said,
you know what, this is right in my wheelhouse. God,
bless you, God, thank you for this. So, during an
(09:44):
appearance on the home of the Ben Mallers Show in
the Commonwealth ninety eight to five, The Sports Hub Joe
Mizzoula coach Joe Joe Mizoula, he was asked, hey, rather
benign question, Joe Mosula is, I said what rule changes
would you like to see in the NBA? And he
(10:05):
answered the question. Now, he didn't say, hey, I'd like
to see a sixth foul or I like to see
three technicals. No, Joe Mizoula asked what rule changes he
would like to see in the NBA. He said, Hey,
why don't we add power plays and in game fights
to the NBA. Let me repeat that. Joe Mozula, coach
(10:28):
of the reigning champions of the NBA, and I'm pretty
sure he wasn't kidding here. I'm pretty sure he wasn't kidding,
said he would like to see the NBA add power
plays and in game fights. Are you on board? How
about why plus E plus s? What does that? Yes?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yes? Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
What does that spell?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
All? Right?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
This is the epitome of coloring outside the lines. Now, sure,
as Missoula said, it's entertainment, it show business. Now, it
was pretty much his point. But man, I want to
have what he' saying. He's having his own tea parties.
What he's having, he's guzzling that ayahuasca tea from the
Amazon is what he's doing here. And I recommend now
(11:11):
here you're gonna have in game fighting, you got to
keep it somewhat safe. So how about those inflatable sumo
suits and you pause the game for five good minutes
and right at mid court you put it in a
little ring. You have the cheer squad, bring out a ring,
and you have the sumo suits and player A versus
player B for five minutes and they can bump bellies.
(11:33):
They can just go ahead to head bumping bellies in
those inflatable sumo suits. How about this idea power Slap
Cross promotion NBA Power Slap. You set a table up,
a card table right over the mid court logo, and
you adjudicate the beefs by having each player sit there
and slap each other right at mid court. Yeah, that's what.
(11:54):
Why not? Now as far as the power plays Joe
Mozula said there should be power plays where on a
technical foul instead of a technical being where you just
get the ball out of bounds in a foul shot.
He said, you play five on four for five seconds
or three passes. So five on four for five seconds
(12:18):
or three passes. He wasn't kidding about them. Joe Mozula,
sleepy Joe, let him play. Joe. Joe Mazula there, coach
of the Celtics, and that's a great idea. Of course,
I would argue that the NBA being objective here, they
already play five on four quite a bit because normally
one of the five players on defense is sleeping. They're
(12:38):
in zombie mode. And remember the Celtics coach Joe Mizoula,
he scoff said all the talk about media pressure. We
didn't make a big deal about this on the show
back when he said it a couple of weeks ago.
But Joe Mozoula talked about all the pressure of the
Celtics to repeat and all that. He said, well, it
doesn't there's no pressure because we'll all be dead soon.
(12:59):
That was his Joe Mozula. He wants the NBA to
add fighting and the power play. Power play power play.
I remember a couple of years ago they were legitimately
talking about adding a four point line, that that was
something they were considering, and I haven't heard much about
that recently. It just demends if the ratings keep going
down in the NBA, people aren't watching on television, they'll
(13:21):
do something to spice it up.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
There'll be some kind of alteration to make it more
interesting to try to get people engaged to watch. They
got that fugaise in season tournament bull crap that should
be starting here soon. That kind of stuff. It is

Rolling through the overnaight of Mallard of the third degree,
coming up in a little bit. It's the up and
down world we live in Masshole, Mickey writes in from
the Commonwealth. He says, Joel Mozoula does his weekly spot
with Zolac and bertrand there on the station in Boston
from ten to two, and I'm more of a joke
and a silly segment type thing. He thinks that Missoula
(15:31):
was being sarcastic. Well, remember, though, mass Ol Mickey, there's
a little bit of truth in every joke. There's a
little bit of truth in every joke there is. Cowboy

benching of Richardson is being blown The benching of Richardson,
rather Anthony Richardson is being blown out of proportion. Besides,
he wouldn't have been able to play Sunday because kickoff
against the Vikings is past his bedtime. But lame jokes
are on Friday. Lame jokes are on Friday. Bad job
(16:13):
by you, Scrooge writes in says, so, man, what you're
saying is Sauce Gardner is a system defensive back rather
than his talent that makes him great. If so, I
totally agree. Well, I like Sauce Gardner. I want to
pull for Sauce Gardener because he's crazy, he's nuts and
(16:34):
all that right, next level, so I want to pull
for him. However, he got to back it up right.
These guys that talk a lot, and I'm all for talking.
I do a talk show, I talk all the time,
I talk a lot. I'm all for talking, but I
am concerned when you do not back it up, you
do not back it up right. That troubles me greatly.
(16:56):
And so that is my issue with Sauce Gardner. Chip
and the Q's rites In says eight plus on the
mall of monologue. He says, somebody needs to remind the
colts that the growth talk sounds nice, but that a
ward is also a growth. It's a good line. I
feel like I've used that line in the past, but
(17:16):
that's a solid line. I think I use tumor uh.
Tumor often grows, and when it grows, that's a bad thing.
You don't want it to grow. You want those to
Nacro Spaccoli writes in from North Carolina, says, the next
step for Anthony Richardson is retiring at halftime. Like Vonte Davis, Well,
it's on the table. It's a card on the table
(17:38):
for sure. Absolutely, Who else do we have? Page down?
I say, I can't read that on the air. All right,
we'll go to the calls and let's see who do
we have eeny meenie, miney mo. Let's take a call
and we will say hello to I don't know who
do I want to tell? Let's go to Steven Manhattan.
Let's see how much trash Steven Manhattan's talking. Hello, Steve
(18:00):
oh in Manhattan.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
It's the thirty sixth anniversary of the Great Pumpkin Game.
Jets bills, then distinguished panel, expanding audience. I am worn
out from last night's game and those fans that got
thrown out and just like the guy who caught the
ball and dared, those are all shots of the glabor
tour as his bat. I mean, is he given those
guys tickets to interfew with his plays? I would throw
(18:24):
that out to the.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Audience, and yes, yes, a labor to is is he
knows exactly where he's going to hit the ball, and
he's able to buy tickets in those areas. He's amazing,
he's a magician, or.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
He's got a lot of guys planted out there right.
First of all it was up for grabs. I mean,
if I'm sitting there, I catch the ball, no questions asked.
Those guys are just they you know, they couldn't get
out of their own way. The guy people to watch it,
he was the Yankee fan was peeling. He was he
(18:58):
was peeling the ball at a beck glove. And it
looks like if the bolting pop away look like he
might have eaten it, he would put the other guy
and put some mustard on it something, and they ate it. Now,
I want to ask the crowds and sne and then
you got the fans if you want to call it in,
go right ahead. Who cares if you're pissed off about losing?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
The thing?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Is? Is there a jail in Yankee Stadium?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Now?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I couldn't confirm that there was a jail in the
old Yankee Stadium. When you went downstairs from directly behind
the ole plate and.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
You held the left, you walk past the visiting dugout,
and then another twenty thirty forty feet, then you made
a turn to left, and then in you were actually
in the Yankee jail.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Now, I'm just gonna say I was looking at the jail.
Don't try to say I was in that jail. Now
fans throwing stuff at ballparks, I mean, come on, the
New York fans like they hold the record for that
Pete Rose in seventy three. They were throwing stuff at
Pete Rose. But I didn't even think people would bring
into a ballpark. They tore a the front end of
(20:00):
a car out of them and stuff, and the players
had to go out there and beg the fans the
knock the wall or they were going to forfeit the game.
I remember as the kid, I remember gym right getting
his going toward a foul role with the shortstop and
the third base thing.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh yeah, but not just in New York though. I
mean they were fans in Candlestick Park would throw batteries
on the field. Philadelphia, They're legendary for throwing crap on
the field. It happened to a lot of places. It
still happens. It's not as much, but it still happens.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, but no other fan base had the Great Pumpkin Game.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Come on, man, hey, I was let me tell you something.
The last time a baseball game was forfeited Steve in Manhattan,
I was there. Dodgers played the Cardinals. It was ball
night and Tommy Lasorda incited the fans to throw the
balls in the field because of a controversial call, and
the Dodgers ended up forfeiting that game because they couldn't
get the fans to stop throwing the balls on the
(20:52):
field at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
That's amazing because Billy Martin was present at both the
night balls and he was off there for the Disco
Night at Usky Park.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Well, who was he working for? Was he? Because that
was a White Sox Tigers game when it was Disco Demolition,
was a double header? Who was he? Who's he was?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
He?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
The Tigers manager at that time?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
He must been Beard Night in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
He was there, all right?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
But all right, But the I remember the Tigers because
one of the guys used to wear your Fox Sports
radio was a promotions guy at the radio station in
Chicago on Disco Demolition night in between games of a
doubleheader when they had a riot.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Wasn't Bernie Fratto there too?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Was Bernie there? I don't know remember the one of
the sales guys years ago, Eddie. Yes, I know, really
great guy, typical Chicago guy, big personality guy. And he
told me all about it. He's oh, we thought no
one was going to show up, and and then people
kept showing up and they were sneaking into Komiskey Park
because the security was terrible because it was like a
mom and pop business back then. Uh you know when
(21:58):
was that the late seventies, early eighties, something like that,
long time ago. But anyway, night listen, Steve. If anybody
wants to call up and harass you there, if I'll
put you on hold, they can call up and rest.
But let me wait, await what what what?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Also two of the greatest craziest concerts ever were in
New York City at Madison Square Garden. Judas Priest got
banned even though they came in with the Grass of
Glasses where McEnroe was playing in a tennis tournament in
the garden. And then the Nuge, who had a C
d C open for them on August fourth, nineteen seventy nine,
(22:34):
they tore that joint apart. All right, now, the doets
fans want to call in? Listen, you go, you go
right ahead and call in and let me tell you
up before before I wait on hold. I did see
Ford Apache. It was on fifteen Avenue and then I
saw it when they turned it into the little house
in the prairie.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Well, all right, thank you, Steve. Hold on. Anyone wants
to harass Steve, you can who doesn't like take Well,
he gets tired and hangs up, and you can call
up on a road. I totally just hung up on him.
All right, we just hung up on Steve, So don't
bother calling. I'm sure he'll call back.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Though.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
At some point he'll call back because he's addicted to
talk radio, and he'll call back, and I have a
feeling one of the other guys, I'm looking at the
board here, one of the other guys will attack him,
so he'll get upset and a call back.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
So what is the Fountain of youth? The human beings
since the beginning of humanity have been trying to find
out what is it. Well, apparently Aaron Rodgers has found
the fountain of youth, a drink that is helping him
stay young. Rogers says that his new drink was recommended
(23:45):
by thirty eight year old punter Thomas Morstead and how
to handle the injuries. Rogers is in his twentieth NFL season,
and the Jets, I don't know if you know this.
They blow, They're terrible. What do they suck? And he
now Rogers that TIMO, that's a cool way of saying.
Thomas Morstead recommended a Fountain of Youth beverage. Now this
(24:09):
does not come from paste Leone in Florida, known for
the Fountain of Youth, but it is. He says, it's
all legal. Of course. He says he takes cayenne pepper
and mixes it with water, and he says that's his
secret power. Don't don't say, but I just did say.
(24:30):
It's cayenne pepper and water. Now I have done this.
I didn't realize I was drinking the Fountain of Youth drink.
But one of my home remedies in my bag of
remedies here, uh is none other, none other than than
kyan pepper. I usually use garlic, raw garlic. But I
(24:51):
I did try this because he's supposed to knock some
you know, knock your wake you up a little bit,
kind of knock you around. And it didn't really do
much for me. But kyenne pepper is a very powerful pepper,
as you might imagine, and it goes back many many generations.
People love their cayenne pepper. Now I mentioned Cowboy Drew
tried it and he said it did give him some
(25:13):
pain Relief's supposed to boost your metabolism, improve circulation. Pain
relief reduces hunger, all that stuff, allegedly. Allegedly. Milkman Mike
in Colorado said he enjoyed the second hour monologue. A
wall effort of Richardson looking like the Colts called a
(25:33):
code red, so he says, yes, alf the alien opiner
says cardiac Stanley fun fact the human heart creates enough
pressure when it pumps the squirt blood up to thirty
feet away. Well, that's outstanding. I'm sure Stanley appreciates that.
We'll get back to the calls and let's see here.
(25:56):
Let's see here Enie Meani, Miny Moe, and we will
say hello to Tuna in Laguna. Hello, Tuna, what's a
big man?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
How you been, dude? Tune?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
If I was any better, I would be Roberts, but
not Dave Roberts because he just tossed away a game
in the World Series.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Oh my god, you always hat on him. I don't understand.
First off, thank you, Coop.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
Your Broncos kept me alive in the survivor school, So
thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Well you really went out, You really went out on
a limb on that pick. Broncos and Panthers wait to
go out.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
And a limbit survivor told the ram I've been choosing
one and two win teams.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
All year and I'm so alive.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I did everything I could.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
We'll playing for the wind.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Thank you, Coop.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Do you like spicy tuna or regular tuna?
Speaker 8 (26:42):
All of it? The Yankee fan scrub going with the
reverse bartman?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
What was he trying to do there?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
He literally was trying to rip. Did a death roll
on Mookie's arm like that?
Speaker 8 (26:53):
Dude did a death roll on Justin Herbert's ankle?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
What is going on with these people?
Speaker 8 (26:58):
This was a free game Roberts gave away. We know
we're going back. We're gonna win the game on November first,
on event on Fernando's birthday on game six.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Oh is that right? You saw the script already? You
know you saw the script?
Speaker 9 (27:13):
Are you kidding it?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
All right? I didn't I didn't see. I didn't see.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
That's gonna get sweating yeah, there's no way.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
Come on, man, you there's too much money to be
put away.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
How come you? How come you're okay with throwing away
a game in the World Series? How is that okay
for you? I don't understand. I don't get it. I
don't understand.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
Top forty pitchers this year, we can't.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Let's throw forward of the wolves and we'll bring them
all back. We'll be fine. We're over here sooner.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
We're trying to burn down East La.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
We can't burn it down on a Wednesday.
Speaker 9 (27:44):
We've got to burn it down on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, wait till Friday. I did see the police were ready.
There was high alert around La. They were ready for
the riot.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
It's gonna be East La.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
It's got to be on a Friday, sir. And you
know what, don't crap on, Dave Roberts. We have Saint
Freddy Freeman, Saint Freddie.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Gibson to bring it to the Promised Land and we
will be just fine. Everyone relaxed.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
And those Yankee fans were schmucks.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Can we not lie? They were reverse Bartmans.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
That guy used. That guy used, He used the jaws
of life to try to get the glove open for
Mookie Betts. He tried to.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
I mean that guy and his hat was a black
Yankee hat, which is basically a Baltimore Oriol hat.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
That guy's a scrub Sando. He doesn't deserve.
Speaker 9 (28:25):
And he can't even eat.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
He shouldn't even be a lead at any New York
DELLI in the next ten years. I'm disgusted by that
behavior because if a Dodger did that, it would have
been one thousand x worse.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
And that's all I have to say.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
All right, go swim away. There's a tuna in Laguna,
swimming away where he goes only hun great tuna in Laguna.
I did see that. Lincoln Riley, at one point considered
one of the top three coaches in college football, not
(28:58):
anymore at the University of Selling California. A lot of
people in Oklahoma enjoying schodenfreude at the expense of Lincoln Riley.
But Lincoln Riley has now decided to ban the media
from SC practice. Course. Jude wonder, why would the media
want to cover SC They're so bad this year? But
he has now banned media access for the rest of
(29:22):
the season because it's obviously the media's fault that he's
a bad coach that Lincoln Riley couldn't coach his way
out of a paper bag. It's the media's fault, and
so he's decided to go to war with the media
because that always goes well. That always goes well. They
never get the last word at all. Let's go to
the phones. We'll say hello to Blind Scott, Hello, Blind Scott.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Oh hey Ben, did.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
You know by going to Game five they save one
hundred and fifty million dollars in advertisement money major League Baseball?
Like they would have lost all that money.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I heard that somewhere like five minutes ago. I heard
that's is that funny?
Speaker 9 (29:59):
I tell you it's it's radio call. You just regurgitate
something that someone else says. These idiots that call in
your show, you hope you host an open house of
idiots all night long. They can't even do something that easy,
you know, Like it's unbelievable. Like this guy Jerome jumping
Jerome and Charlestown. He's confusing deadbeat dads with nepotism. I
(30:20):
bet this kid, this guy Jerome, don't take care of
his kids. He throwned my life on the air once.
He's trying to give credit for Lebron James getting his
son into the league. That's the worst father you could
ever be, getting your kid a job for no reason.
You're literally setting your kid up to enter mcclage Center
with all the other lunatics. Man, he's going to be
in the rubber room in a few years. Then, my
(30:41):
dad always gave me everything. I hate my daddy, you
know what I mean? You know, I was also wondering.
Loraina didn't say anything on the show tonight till Tuna
came on it. So Tuna is a plant. I think
I think that's Loraina's boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
It's almost like Loraina was sleeping the first of the show.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I have no idea idea. Sounds like we thought she
was in a ditch on the side of the road.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
What.
Speaker 9 (31:06):
Yes, you know Dodger fans have don't manage all. I
knew that guy that threw the pizza at the Red
Sox game, that type of way where stuff happens at
Dodger Stadium. It's so dangerous around there, man, you guys
go people camping out living on the streets around there,
you know what I mean. Nobody's doing that, and then
the other stadium. So you can't say that your fans
are better than anybody else or whatever.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
But if you if you go side by sideline, Scot,
I know you didn't see this, but on side by side,
like the guy that interfered at Dodger Stadium, he's trying
to catch the ball and all that he realized immediately
he screwed up. The Yankee fan not only did they
not think they screwed up, they literally tried to rip
the glove off Mookie Bets team like they knew they
(31:46):
were in the raw. They thought they were in the right.
Speaker 9 (31:48):
Well, he was at Red Sox. I I know, I
got like a lot of cousins, Like I got like
sixty cousins and I'm and they live in west Haven, Somebham.
They might know this guy. Maybe we get him on
the fifth hour. This guy, this dude is Lorenum with
some of His name is Army Hammer. He dated this
woman I know from what SA and he just has
a brand new podcast. I'my Hammer. You should get him
on the fifth hour. You need more guests on the
(32:10):
fifth hour. You could ask Glence the bus driver and
next time he comes about that bench McMahon lawsuit. Did
you hear me the number two on someone's head?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
You know like it it's alleged in a loss. I mean, Clay,
you can claim anything. You know, I could sue you
as you know, you see a lot of people, Scott, right.
Speaker 9 (32:29):
Yeah, you can see anybody. I got one ready. I
got a personal injury lawyer. You've done thirty five Venucot Street.
He's ready for me. You just want to fall down
and call him up right away, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah? You know some people go out and they work hard,
blind blind Scott, just as I let me go through
all the billboard lawyers here in Boston, and I can
file these lawsuits and get workers comp. Or now it's
not even a workers comp It's like slip and fall,
right Scott. Around Boston, the sidewalks are.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
Like dude grands for that. Hey, uh man, I totally
lost my thought. Now I'm tired and I have.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
