Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our naw Bird two hour two of the original

here an hour two on this Wednesday, the seventh day
of August, Russell Wilson listed as QB one on the Steelers'
depth chart. How should Justin Fields feel about this? In Pittsburgh? Also,

(00:24):
how do you classify CD Lamb being placed on the
Cowboys reserve list? And what do you make of the
Seahawks general manager praying for the Ravens to lose so
he could interview then Baltimore defensive coordinator Mike McDonald. We'll

to my little friend, our number two. Something does not

(01:55):
our lead this hour from the Black and Yellow, Black
and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Western Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I love these quarterback stories.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I'm a sucker form I admitted to me the most
interesting stories in the NFL this exhibition season are the
Raiders because they don't have a quarterback, the Steelers because
they don't have a quarterback, the Denver Broncos they don't
have a quarterack.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
These are the stories that it's like a moth to
a flame.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
And we're gonna start in Western Pennsylvania here because if
you check your calendar app right now, this is depth
chart Week. I have very exciting, very exciting with practice
games kicking off from c to Shining Sea. Interesting wrinkle
out of Pictsburg, Pa, the Steelers.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Do you see this? You did not? Okay?

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Good?

Speaker 2 (02:45):
The Steelers have placed Russell Wilson at the very top
of the totem pole, as he on the depth chart
is the starting quarterback over the guy from Chicago, just
In Fields. Now, it is the initial depth chart, but
it shows you how the practice has went. It's an

(03:06):
indicator of how things are going now. Despite all of
the hype around Justin Field's play, he is the backup
quarterback Mike Tomlin sticking with mister mister unamited as the starter.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
So let us discuss the.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Question Russell Wilson being listed as QB one on the
Steelers depth chart. How should Justin Fields feel about this
new development? So I've got pedestal iPhone and pancakes, and
we'll combine all of these things together and we are

(03:44):
going to cook up and all you can eat buffet?

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Will you actually eat?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Unlike Eddie and Lorena who did not eat the proper
amount of food?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
So num burwa.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
The word I have for Justin Fields on being QB
two rather than QB one, How should you feel about it?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Is deflated? He should feel deflated.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
The media continues to pump the tires on Justin Fields.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
It happened in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Remember, he won the offseason MVP Award, one of the
great MVP seasons I've ever seen for a quarterback, so
good generational talent in off season practices for the Chicago Bears.
And yet again the media dumb dumbs are pumping up,
filling the air with balloon for Justin Fields. He was
given though in all fairness a gigantic headstart. Russell Wilson

(04:40):
has missed most if not all, of the first two
weeks with a calf injury that has been barking. Is
it true that that cleared the runway for Justin Fields
to practice with the starters for his Steeler career to
take off?

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yes, did he take advantage of that? Justin Fields was
put on a.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Pedestal and he was spinning round and round and round
and round on the pedestal.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
And how is that working out now?

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Based on the evidence here, despite all of that propaganda
from football media, Justin Fields is still riding the caboose
behind the locomotive with Russell Wilson in the front in
the front of the locomotive on the depth chart. When
you consider that Russell Wilson is older, he has stunk

(05:35):
for multiple seasons and by the way, has an injury concern.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
This is alarming.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
It is alarming for the Justin Fields Marching and Chowder
society that even with all of those.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Roadblocks for Russell Wilson.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
And all of the advantages to Justin Fields, still Mike
Tomlin has wi as QB one and don't tell me.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Well, let's just tell the Steelers operate. If Justin Fields
was pointing.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
At the sky point of the heavens as a generational
camp miss quarterback and not missing throws at all, that
he was out there and it was an oil painting,
a masterpiece.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Every day, he would have been QB one. Don't fool yourself.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Don't be an idiot.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
That's the way it works. Now, page two, we go
now to the Nard Auxnard.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
That's where the Dallas football team is embedded in southern California.
The Cowboys have placed wide receivers ce D Lamb on
the reserve.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Did not report to work list. Say what, Look, he
hasn't shown enough to work.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
He continues to sit out a training camp brew haha
with Jerry Jones trying to get a new long term contract.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
We know about that.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
So how do you classify Ceedee Lamb being placed on
the Dallas Cowboys reserve list? So it's using the iPhone.
You know that predictive AI text thing where it predicts
what the next word's going to be. Yeah, that's essentially
what this is. It's procedural. The Cowboys are following the manual, the.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Regulations for the NFL.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
It creates roster space out of thin air, and everyone's
got a crunch. You shouldn't have a crunch yet because
you haven't gotten rid of anybody. At least you don't
have to get rid of anybody yet, but because of
the injury situation. But what it also does is it
tells us it's a dead du It tells us that
this CD Lamb standoff is going to linger. It's gonna linger,

(07:47):
all right. There's nothing on the horizon. I'm not gonna
wake up in the afternoon when I wake up and
there'll be some announcement that Ceedee Lambs agreed to a
new four year contract with eighty five million guaranteed or
anything like that. There's nothing on the horizon in terms
of a mega deal. Otherwise it wouldn't bother doing this,
Jerry Jones continues to stonewall his quarterback Dakota Prescott, his

(08:13):
wide receiver Ceedee Lamb, and his defensive star Michaeh.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Parsons.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
None of them have gotten mega, mega, mega million dollar deals.
Haven't gotten them? How long is this going to last?
Is Jerry gonna came in before the start of the
regular season. Are we going to get that last minute
just before the Cowboy opener deal where Ceedee Lamb gets paid?
Is it gonna happen? I'll believe it when Jerry doesn't
give them money. He shouldn't pay these guys because they

(08:39):
don't deserve the money based on their playoff performance.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Oh, you're just being a shock jock. You're a boomer.
They deserve the money.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Okay, Yeah, how about you go out there and don't
puke all over the field against the Cheeseheads.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
How about that?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Now we pivot to Seattle, where crying Craig is crying
somewhere off in the corner.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
I saw this quote.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I wanted to spend a couple minutes with you on it.
The Seahawks have a GM named John Schneider who successfully
kicked Pete Carroll out of Seattle and kept his job.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
So John Schneider revealed that he wanted to interview the
Ravens defensive coordinator Mike McDonald, as in Mike McDonald had
a farm.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Ei.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
I oh, he wanted to interview Mike McDonald for the
head coaching job in Seattle. So much, how much you ask?
So much that he prayed at mass for Baltimore to
lose the Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game. Schneider,
behind a paywall on the Old Gray Lady said this

(09:41):
is heathen s as in ship swimming through the waters.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
He said, it is heathen s word. So that's I
found that interesting.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
And now here's the thing on this, right, the Seahawks
would have needed due to the NFL rules, they would
have needed to wait until after the Super Bowl to
conduct the in person interview had the Ravens beat in
the Chiefs. But what do you make of the Seahawks
GM John Schneider saying that he prayed for the Ravens

(10:15):
to lose so he could interview Mike McDonald.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
So it's obviously blasphemy. How dare you?

Speaker 2 (10:21):
It's also not supposed to work, right, you know, that's
like reverse you can't you're supposed to do that, I
don't think. But this whole story is a pancake. It's
a bunch of pancakes. It's fluffy pancakes. It's fluff. It
is optimism season in the NFL. The Seahawks hired a nobody,
a zero as their head coach. Nobody had heard of
this guy, disciple of John Harbaugh. Part of the Ravens' success.

(10:46):
The Ravens have had many great defensive teams before Mike McDonald,
and they'll have good defensive teams after Mike McDonald because
they have good defensive players.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's amazing how that works. But this is just fluff, right,
You're trying to build up the myth, the legend.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Of a nameless, faceless coach, part of the flotsam and
jetsam of coaching and the Seahawks right now. And I
know No Strudinis is not going to like this, but
the Seahawks are in the middle of the bell curve.
They're not at the very bottom. They're not the worst
team that's Carolina. They're not at the very bottom. However,
they're They're right in the middle. They're not at the top.

(11:24):
It's a lot of standard issue players on that roster
stuck in the middle, and Gino Smith nothing special, just
a placeholder until they find there forever quarterback and then
he'll go somewhere else down the highway of football. But
this hole over the toping and he went to mass
to pray that the Ravens lost. Yet one thing I've

(11:44):
learned over my time doing this job. When Lamar Jackson
is starting a playoff game, you don't have to pray
for him to lose, because more times than not, he's
going to be the reason they lose, because he always
sits in the cockpit of the vomit comet in playoff games.
And that is a fact. It is the Ben Mahler Shelf.
You'd like to be part, you can join a speakeasy

(12:05):

these calls a hearty conversation. Conversation. I will give you

back to jail. You know what he needs, He needs
a hulk maniac to save the day is what he needs.

Tester says, I'm sure the Seahawks fans are going to
be just fine seeing as the Mariners are primed for
a deep playoff run this October. You're welcome. Seattle took
my advice. Randy a Rose arena. That's the guy. They
went on and picked the Randy Rose Arena. Of course,
the Mariners in deep playoff run don't go together. Those

(14:08):
phrases don't go together at all.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Doesn't happen.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
King Roy says it sounds like the Seahawks GM didn't
go to a normal Christian church and possibly ended up
with those fancy churches. He says that the pastor wears
goat heads. At mass Yeah, all that. Let's get back
to the calls, though, And who do we have here

mean things about me.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
But he still calls the show. Hello, Mark.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Maybe he doesn't call the show? Is that is he gone?
Did he pass out in the gutter somewhere?

Speaker 6 (15:18):
Finally he probably heard we didn't like him anymore?

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Oh, he knows we don't like him. He still calls
the show. Doesn't stop him.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
All right, Well, thank you, tremendous country. I think call

We didn't mute him.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
There's no mute.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
We didn't mute him. He muted himself.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Let's go to a guy who we're tired as a call,
and he's coming out of retirement right now, Sir, scratch

I left her, all right.

Speaker 7 (16:24):
I've called to do some apologizing.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (16:29):
I said something the other day while y'all was on
your little meet and greet, and I got called out
from some people, and I told him I really didn't
mean how I said that, but I just said it
at the wrong time. And I'm sorry because the person
I want to apologize is sitting out very far from you,
and I think she's a great person. The other night,

(16:49):

so I know that.

Speaker 7 (17:07):
Yes, But anyway, Lorada I'm sorry. I didn't mean nothing
about your tattoos. I just made a comment. It wasn't
to hurt your feelings because I think you're a nice person,
and I was either talking about you on my ticket
radio showing Arcis the other day because I found somebody's
I like listening to it would use one of them.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
That's very sweet. I don't take it personally at all.
If you want to get a tattoo, you can get
a tattoo. I keep mine to myself.

Speaker 7 (17:33):
Well, I was going to get two of them, one
on each butt cheek. What a fur dog? It Warren
a bit made because they just kissed each other.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Butter Oh my gosh, my dad wanted something just like that.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
He wanted Peppy Leapew on one side and he wanted
Wiley Coyote on the other.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, Lorena, let me point out that the idea of
sir scratch off. Those would be big tattoos, if you
know what I'm saying, Lorena, he's got a big, big ASSU.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (18:01):
But if I fur dogg in person, I'm just that
kind of person. Man. I don't hate the fella. He
just you know, he survived all that in his mouth
shup and being a matter talking.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
So you know that's not true.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Listen, he was, he kept he kept his behavior at
the Malo Vegas. If you had gone out to Vegas,
why there were guys flewing are Guy JT.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
The we Man flew in from Tennessee to hang out.

Speaker 7 (18:25):
With you, and I did a bunch of I kept

your life. I've heard him for twenty one years. Quit

Take that picture that y'all made the day of all
those people. Start your left side up front and tell.

Speaker 8 (18:48):
Me who every one of those people are on the radio.

Speaker 7 (18:51):
Because I like putting names with pictures, and you got good.

Speaker 8 (18:55):
Collars, you got some listeners. I don't.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Oh well, here's first of all, I don't remember for
everyone's name. I don't I know a lot of the
people in the picture. Secondly, uh not everyone calls the show.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Most people. It's gonna blow your mind, sir, scratch off.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
If we only had the people that called the show listening,
I would be hanging out with weed man hippie walking
around the streets of Miami right now, I would not
have a job. So most people do not ever interact
with us. Most people who are are fans of the show,
they don't.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
They're not on social media. They're either too old or
they're not into it.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
That's not their thing because of whatever reason, so they're
not there.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
And also and also they don't call in because they
don't have You do want to stay on hold or what?

Speaker 7 (19:38):
But I said, I I'm not allowing to be you know.
I mean, these guys can even tell you they want to.
But I've got people tell me all that, Hey man,
why don't you call the shore kill a deer? I
like him? And this guy named p E.

Speaker 1 (19:47):

Speaker 4 (19:51):
You know.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well, I thought you were tired. I didn't.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
I didn't realize. I assumed you had retired. I didn't
realize you were stole calling.

Speaker 7 (19:57):
Now let me say this, I don't ever mister show being.
I missed the talent show of the day because I've
been having some shelf going on in my heart. I
had to redo my blood pressure message and it was
because the fur dog slapping on his stuff. It made
me get a bad heart to start breathing real bad.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yes, yes, fer dog.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
One of the side effects of fir dog is he
might affect your heart if you have a bad heart.
Uh yeah, all right, well listen, you're back. I'll talk
to you next month. Yes, I won't call a month.

Speaker 7 (20:26):
I won't to leave you. Just start right here being
and I'm just gonna leave you. Just starting you thinking
about this when you're on the show. Okay, okay, I'm
gonna put tapioca pudding, bananas, cucumbers and sex have a
good day.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Okay, Yeah, that sounds like I've got a weird fetish
on the porn hub or something. But but good luck,
good luck with it. And by the way, you're just
a guy that took a shot at the arena. You're
in the Bible belt. You're talking about tapioca pudding and cucumber.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
I know, what do you do, Joe, He's all over
the place, He's all over the map. I'd make your
mind up. Try to make your mind up.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Let's say hello to Andre and his fake dog Willis
in the Commonwealth.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Hello, Andre, what's going on?

Speaker 8 (21:11):
Ben?

Speaker 9 (21:11):
It's good, good to be with you. I'm not going
to respond, not going to respond to any.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
I heard Willis. I just sart. Wait if you listened
close to you can hear Willis in the background.

Speaker 9 (21:23):
Yeah, he's in the background. He's sleeping, Ben, he's sleeping
because we already went outside. We already did you know
that the late night exercise because we got rain coming
in here, rain coming in in the northeast. So but
this is not about Willis. This is about what's going
on in real time in terms of how you open
the show talking about Hard Knocks and the situation in Chicago.

(21:44):
Now listen, I'm a Caleb Williams supporter. I have my doubts.
But Ben, this Hard Knocked episode, right, can we get
some of the other guys in the Chicago Bears a
little bit of shine? It's all about Caleb Williams and
Matt Eberflus, And then they give a little bit of
an aside to, uh, what's the gentleman there, Owens, who's
dating Simone bios You know what I mean? That's like

(22:05):
an interesting storyline because she's over there winning gold net.
He's playing for the ship. But the wide receiver, that's
a dating Simone bias.

Speaker 6 (22:13):
Totally unappreciative of her by the way, I think he's
a tight end.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
I think that's it.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
But you do realize that that show is not designed
for football fans. That show is designed for casual people
that don't really like.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Football that much.

Speaker 9 (22:26):
Okay, get them in, you know, kind of connect them
you're trying.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, they always have, like every year, and I don't.
I don't watch it as much as I used to
watch it, But it's the same. It's like if you
were to watch House Hunters International, it's the same. You've
got to have some contrived drama. You've got to have
the female lead. I guess Simone Biles is the female
lead in this this episode of Hard Knocks. But yeah,
you're trying to convince people that are not hardcore football

(22:52):
fans to watch. So you put that in there and
you tug at the heartstrings and all that.

Speaker 9 (22:57):
Yeah, all I'm saying is I think they're doing a
good job. I think it's personalized and giving me a
different perspective, you know, because Caleb Williams to me, I
think I'm looking at this guy. He's the prima donna
over here, you know, coming in talking about he's a
shot caller, and he's going to demand this and demand that,
you know, and he's got the you know, colored fingernails,
you know, and he wants to kind of be the
show rather than as you know, we learned in New

(23:18):
England here, well done is better than well set, right,
That's Tom. That's how Tom Brady got down. You know,
man a few words, but when it's time for action,
you know, he's always leading the charge. Caleb Williams seemed
to be a different cut from a different claw. Nonetheless,
I'm saying, you know, I think to your point, Ben,
he's starting to grow on me a little bit. You know,
with the hard knocks.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
That's why they do this show, because you you get
twisted it around.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
You were anti Caleb Willias. Now you're going to watch
the show.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
By the end of the show, you're going to be
going on the NFL shop and buying a Caleb Williams
Jersey Andre by the end of the show.

Speaker 9 (23:51):
I won't do it then, I won't do any reason promise,
because I'm committed. I'm sticking with the Detroit Lions and
the NFC Norse Detruit.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Lions, you know, picking the lions in the division. I
got you all right, all right, we'll leave it there,
thank you very much. Andre and willis not out walking
because they aren't they getting the remnants of the big
storm that came through Florida.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
I think that's making its way through the New England States.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
I believe I haven't looked at my Doppler radar, though
I have not looked at that recently to see.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Now, Ben, I was was commiserating with Lorena and Coop
during your Mallard monologue, and they informed me you.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Were distracted, but I was, I was doing poetry.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Distracted. You're supposed to hang on every word. It's a cliffhanger.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
I'm gonna go back and listen to the podcasts for that.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
That's a lot to the podcast.

Speaker 3 (24:51):

a friend of the show. Yeah, it was actually Ernesto
that was hanging out with us at the buffet, and.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
You was you did not even realize who's company you.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
I think I called him Emilio. If I did I
apologize friend or Esto.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Big Diva Eddie, you don't even realize who you're hanging
out with. You you snap your fingers, Big Lou, pick
me up, Big Lou, my chauffeur.

Speaker 7 (25:19):
And.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
He offered, because I'm such a nice person and people
want to do nice things for me.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Why did you get a hotel room, Eddie? There's this,
this is a city of hotel rooms.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Because I didn't want to pay the money. You, being
a tight watcher'd appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
I stayed at my my friends over and Henderson with
a non working air Conditioner's good. No, no, Nelly, no,
that is never happening again.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
That's a big cheap ass gets you.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Well, To be fair, I did not realize when I
got there that the air conditioning was not working.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Uh, and I had really nowhere else. It was kind
of late.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
You know, once you get to a certain hour you
can't get You're not supposed to get a hotel room
after It's hard to get one after.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Midnight, after three am.

Speaker 10 (26:04):
Well, recently there was just fans, just a bunch of
fans hot air.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
It was around eighty five degrees and I was trying
to sleep inside and I'm surprised it wasn't hotter.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
But anyway, yeah, anyway, apologies or nesto.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah, he was very sweet. He was there.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
He was sitting if I remember, he was sitting with
Salsa in the back at the Salsa's table. And Salsa,
who looks nothing like we saw him years ago.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Hey, it's Salsa. Oh look at that all right, it
is the bass almost.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
He's got a girlfriend, Lora. Remember he likes I surprised
you weren't dancing with.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
Him, and everyone took inconspicuous photos with me.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay, oh whoa whoa very post you.

Speaker 6 (26:51):
Guys all had these very friendly photos.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Were like, eh, yeah, how are we?

Speaker 1 (26:58):
They did to be fair, though, Loraina, you were the star.
They liked that.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
The boys liked hanging out with you more than us
they put up with me. It's your amazing charm.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
You have amazing charm. It's your your charismatic personality. Clearly,
let's have some let's have some fun.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
What do you say here?

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Hit that button right there? Fun, fun fun fact all right.
Vladdie Guerrero Junior talking about hair and Salsa grew his
hair out and got a beard. Now, last time we
saw him, he didn't have any of that stuff. But
since Vlatty Guerrero Laddierro Junior or the Blue Jays cut
his hair back on June nineteenth, he has more extra
base hits than strikeouts. How about that for a fun fact.

(27:40):
He's like Samson with his hair. He grew his hair out,
now he's got his power back. Or he cut his
hair rather, but he has power basically.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Or verse Samson? Who knew? Is the yes?

Speaker 3 (27:50):
I know?

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Is that not fun? Oh?

Speaker 2 (27:53):
My god, so so fun it is?

I know? It's fun?

Then you're not tired a great days.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
All right, look at that too.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Who knew that Trump and Hulk were hanging out together
in the middle of the night.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Second time though, then, second time we've had Trump on
the Fox Sports radio airwaves' distract. He was on with
I got Clay Travis back in the day a couple
of times.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, And it's the great thing when and that was
when he was president. He called in the Fox Sports
Radio and.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Well, here's the here's the kick.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Normally, I've heard I've never spoken to a president until
just now with mister Trump. Normally the protocol is the
president's helpers call up and then hand.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
The phone to the president.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Trump called up on his own.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
He's just like a regular day. He's just called up
and uh and Danny, I remember the story. Danny talked
about a few times, but I think he thought he
was being punked or something like that. Wow, why would
President Trump, He's the president of the United why would
he just call up?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
And he did?

Speaker 8 (31:09):
Then?

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Was that real? Yes?

Speaker 6 (31:11):
Like I heard it on the podcast, the Fifth Hour podcast,
that little snippet that he played.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
It was real. It was legit.

Speaker 6 (31:17):
I thought it might have been like Covino or something.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
You know they like to play Joe No no, And
that's the thing. Like Trump called up on his own.

Speaker 6 (31:25):
It was crazy and he was like, no one ever
asked me to come on radio shows. And he was
so like honored.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Yeah, I've never seen a Fox Sports radio producer more
nervous than Danny.

Speaker 6 (31:36):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
It was almost he was like sweating. He was worried
something was going to happen, the call was going to
drop or oh yeah, it's gonna be issues, and he
was just like, please God, let this vote go.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, and then he if I remember Trump said, he
praised Danny on the ear like you should get ridd
say that.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
The fact that he got him on it all is amazing.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah, well if he didn't, then what would you do? Yeah,
well it is helpful. You know, Clay, our old morning guy,
uh is a kind of a friend of the president.
So yes, yes, so that was that. That was partly
why but still, I mean, you still.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Know it was all Danny g did his best. Git
though I don't know if you guys know about this.
There was a guy in India that was hunting down
this man eating tiger uh and and Clay Travis Whim said,
get this guy and he got he got the guy
from India to call in and killing the man eating tiger.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
That's pretty good, solid.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
I got the girl that that hugged.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Bellinger Cody be.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Yes and that you didn't tell the story Coop, My god,
that conversation. This teenage girl ran out in the field
to hugged Cody Bellinger with when he's a big star
for the Dodgers. That led to a porn star that's right, yes, yes,
some porn star who heard about her. I guess was
listening got upset with me and uh, yeah, wi her name?

Speaker 1 (32:58):
I forget.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Him.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
No, I don't know, No, no, I don't I don't think.
But she got very upset and it was very odd,
Like I mean, I do appreciate female porn star's work,
but I normally have not been attacked by one.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
It was very odd.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Anyway, Ben Afflac is going to be playing Hull Cogan
in a movie.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Do you see this?

Speaker 4 (33:18):
No?

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah, Ben Aflac and uh and Matt Damon are teaming
up there in the final stages of a movie about
Hull Cogan about the Gker sex tape. When hul Cogan
sued and took down Goker media, and from what I
if I read this propert, I think I did. Ben
Affleck is going to star as Hull Cogan.

Speaker 6 (33:40):
I'm sorry, did you say Hull Hogan had a sex tape?

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Oh you didn't know about that?

Speaker 10 (33:44):
What you just said?

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Oh? Not only no, it was involved with it was
involved with the radio Bubba the Love Sponge, a famous
radio guys. We don't have time to get her now
because I got this some time for the third degree.
But yeah, we'll circle back to that a little bit
later on. But yeah, that's a wild story. But they're
suppose it's in the works. They're gonna make the movie,
and I think it's gonna be like a real movie,
not a fake movie, Like a real movie.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
No, it is Cameron Mabon of the Marlins the Way Florida.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
This is one big tent gets grail.

Speaker 10 (36:11):
Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski announced at the start of
training camp that he would continue to call plays on
offense despite the team hiring Ken Dorsey as their offensive coordinator.
Ben do you think that's the right move for the Browns? Well,
it is fine with it, he said.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Well, he said that, But it's the right move because
Kevin Stefanski does not trust Ken Dorsey. If he thought
Ken Dorsey was an exceptional offensive mind, he would allow
him to call the place. He doesn't trust him. He's
not in the bubble of trust. That's why that move
is being made.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Next.

Speaker 10 (36:42):
Since July third, the Arizona Diamondbacks have the best record
in baseball at twenty and eight. They are now to
tie the top with the wild card standings. Ben, what
chances to give Arizona and getting back to the World Series, Well.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
They had the same chances that the odds of lightning
hitting the same place twice.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Now, lightning does occasionally hit.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
The same place twice, but that was such a fluky
run last year by the NAMA Backs. I'll give them
their due. They have played well of eight the last
month or so, but it's a lot different. It's gonna
be a lot different for them in the playoffs this year.
I'm not buying it. They're not getting the World Series
Dodgers of Phillies in the World Series next So.

Speaker 10 (37:15):
I'm in questions about several Olympic Chinese swimmers that previously
failed drug tests still being allowed to compete. Michael Phelps
said that he supported a one and done policy that
would enforce a lifetime ban against athletes a test positive
for a foreign substance, Ben, do you think this would
ever happen?

Speaker 2 (37:29):
No, because there'll be lawsuits and they'll say, well, they'll
question the testing process or process. How do you diagnose
who's legitimately cheating and who's not cheating?

Speaker 1 (37:40):
If I'm not mistaken. I read these.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Tabloids in London. There's like actual criminals that are competing
in the Olympics. So if they can't even keep the
criminal element out of the Olympics, how are they going
to ban anyone from the Olympic Games? There it is
Mallard of the third degree? How did we know he passed?
