And here in our number two, we start out in
Minnesota as there's some drama with the big money wide
receiver having some problems catching the football with the new quarterback.

be very happy with red shirt rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy. Also,

And also what is your ryak schan to Minnesota Timberwolves
coach Chris Finch. That's pro bouncy ball taking a jab
at podcaster JJ Reddick's resume. We'll go there as well,
(00:51):
and god only knows what else here it is our
number two. Some purple problems. Well, in the beginning of

At DraftKings, the crown is yours. So I leave this
hour from Minnesota. We'll get back to the Thursday night game.
Patriots win a workmanlike effort. They did not cover the spread,
(03:18):
at least the big spread. It was up to thirteen
and a half. But our lead is from Minnesota. Not
all is right on the shores of Lake Minnetonka. If
you did not see this, perhaps not the most decorated
in terms of money receiver in the NFL. Justin Jefferson
is not exactly getting it done at a high level
(03:39):
so far this season, at least not with his current quarterback,
and Justin Jefferson's saying that he is trying to work back.
He said, trying to work back to the level that
he reached a couple years back. In twenty twenty two,
which inspired him. That was the spark to get paid
the big money. Jefferson said he wanted to return to
when he called what he called his savage mode. Well,
(04:03):
I can just give you the whole sound bite, but
why don't we go to the audio tape.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Here's Jefferson who wants to have a different mentality.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Here's mister Jefferson.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Take a list personally, mentally, just wanting to get back
into that mode into I like to say savage mode.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Savage mo. I mean, it's just going.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Out there with that fit mentality and just going out
there and just killing it.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I want to thank him for saying ef it and
not the full F word. Normally we have to bleep that,
but he said effort. We don't have to bleep effort.
He meant fun it. I think he meant fun it
right or fudget. He could have said fudget, but he
didn't say what you thought he said then.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
But wait, there's more. Justin Jefferson Viking Receiver was asked.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Why things haven't been the way they were before.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Take a listen life.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You know a lot of different things going on in
my life and just wanting to get back to that
that kid phase of loving I still love football, but
overly loving football and overly loved just being out there
on Sundays and making the big plays and just being
a part of this great organization.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
So he claimed, Jefferson that he was inspired because of clip.
I remember that famous catch he had, and I say famous.
It was a regular season game against Buffalo, but he
had that leaping one handed grab against the Bills.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Remember the catch. It was a pretty big deal when
it happened.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
And so the anniversary of that it was this week,
and a bunch of people who were engagement farming sent
that out on social media and Jefferson saw it, and
so he brought that up as a point of reference.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Now we should point.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Out that in his last game Dud Jefferson against the
Baltimore football team JJ McCarthy, who's drowning at quarterback, two
of his passes that were intended for Jefferson were intercepted
by the Ravens, and on both occasions, not once, but twice,
Jefferson did not see him all that interested in making
(06:03):
a play on the defender who had intercepted the pass.
On the interception return, now there are many close observers
with magnifying glasses out that have seen signs.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I see the sign. They have seen signs that Jefferson
is not on board.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
No, no, no, he's not on the happy train Drew. No, no,
he's not that interested in developing the young quarterback.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
He attempted to push back on that. In fact, in
that same interview session, he called JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
A quote great player and added he's a great quarterback
and he's a great kid. The word is great. Okay,
So that is a good jumping off point. Let's dive
into this one, the question what are your impressions of
Justin Jefferson not appearing to be all that happy with
(07:01):
the vikings and mainly with the quarterback JJ McCarthy. So
my observations on this, I've got babysitting Vermont, maple syrup
and mad ants, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to be in the
lap of luxury, is what We're going to be in
the lap of luxury.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So number.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
So, Justin Jefferson can say all the right things, right,
I can say all the right things, but the man's
body language.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Remember most of communication.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Is body language, the body language is writing a completely
different book. It's a much different novel body language versus
the words that are coming out of his mouth. You
don't need to watch the All twenty two like JJ
and written. You don't need some nerdy analytical dork on
YouTube or buried behind a paywall on a shady football.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Website to break it down for you.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
The lolly gagging, that's the word lolly gagging on the interceptions,
No hustle, no chase, just a kind of a shrug
emoji type effort. Day give day, give it. That is
a superstar saying I'm really not into this.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I'm not into it.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Jefferson knows what it's like to have a quarterback that
can get him the ball on a regular basis and
provide him the opportunity to become an elite wide receiver
and all that stuff. He was elite and a couple
of years there he was a walking cheat code for
the Minnesota Vikes. Right now, when JJ McCarthy is quarterbacking,
(08:40):
he's giving that Onendell Robinson level production, giving the Michael
Pittman junior level production. Jefferson producing in four starts with
red shirt rookie JJ McCarthy an average of four point
two catches per game for fifty two yards cards per game. Now,
(09:02):
that's fine if you're Wanda Robinson. Robins is a good player,
is not a great player. Michael Pittman Junior a good player,
not a great player. It's fine for those guys. However,
when you're the guy that got the one hundred and
forty million dollar contract, you're supposed to be the greatest
player on the planet, and it doesn't look that way
right now.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
It's bad.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It's real bad. When McCarthy's out there. I say, it's
a small sample size, but we have a show to
do today. And this is the vibe I got from
Jefferson watching some of those clips from the Baltimore game,
is I don't like the new toy that I got.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I don't you know, the energy like when a kid
gets a toy on Christmas or honok or something. They
open it up and it's like the wrong gift, and
do we have the receipt I got to return this,
don't I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now, the Vikings problem.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Is that they obviously drafted McCarthy in the first round.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
There was a lot of moving parts to get McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Let some people go to get him and all that stuff,
and they need a booster rocket to help boost the
quarterback at this point, and instead Jefferson's giving the vibe
of why am I babysitting this guy again? Like I
got paid, this is the prime of my career. I'm
never going to be better than I am right now,
(10:18):
and you're cramping my style because this guy didn't know
what he's doing, and so that's it. He's twenty six.
He's giving off the vibes like he's middle aged. Body
language says I'm grumpy. Body language says I'm annoyed. Body
language says I'm not hiding it. And then he comes
out with the he's a great quarterback, great kid line.
(10:38):
Now the problem with that is too many greats. He
kept repeating the word great. So it looks to me,
after a minute long deliberation of the available evidence, like
he was pulled aside by the PR people the PR war,
trying to win the PR culture war.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
The spin doctor said, all right, listen, let me give
you some flashcards.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Here's what you say about the quarterback and the media
will be fine. Just say this, and if you don't
say this. You're gonna start a wildfire, and we don't
want to start a wildfire.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So just just go through the point by point. Use
the word great. Just call him great, great, great, great great.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Okay, well call him great, great, great great, great, great player,
great quarterback, great kid great. You know, makes a mean omelet,
really good omelet. Toast not so good. He's working on
the toast. But he's working.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
He's doing. He's doing as good as he can do.
Bacon needs a little work as well. The bacon needs
a little work. But listen, here, here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
The tape does not lie Justin Jefferson when he's played
with McCarthy. There are plenty of eclips. You can find them yourself.
Even the blind listeners like Stevie Meatballs can see them.
Justin Jefferson is disconnected, looks a little checked out there.
And so you really don't need to bring in some
kind of special investigator to decode what's going on. It's
(11:52):
not much of a mystery. Jefferson is not happy doesn't
mean he's good. To demand a trade doesn't mean that.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
It just means he's frustrated with JJ McCarthy. He's annoyed.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
With his lack of opportunity, and the more he says
everything's fine, the louder the body language gets that it's
not fine, and he's even though financially living a high
on the hog, not so much the rest of the way.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Meanwhile, to Seattle, we go, what kind of it's actually
an LA storyline. The Rams and Seahawks get together on
Sunday and a massively important NFC West slobber knocker.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
That matchup not just a game, it's a slobber knocker.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
So the Rams, we have learned, are planning a full
blown Hallmark movie on the JumboTron as a tribute for
the emotional return of Cooper Cup.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeap oh, so sad he.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Now plays with the Seahawks, not much because he's often
hurt and Cooper Cup was asked about the Rams showing
a tribute video and what did he say?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
What did Cooper Cup say? Hmmm, what do you think
he said?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Well, he said, I don't know, I didn't die. I'm here,
is what he said. It's a great quote. It's a
really good quote. I didn't die, he said, I don't know,
I didn't die. I'm still here, all right. Questioned how
did you react to that clip? The money quote from
(13:24):
wide receiver Cooper Cup letting the Rams know that his
heart is still ticking.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
What's good.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
We're happy that his heart is still ticking. He does
not need an ambulance. There's no need for paramedics to
come and help him out.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I didn't die. That is what a line. It's perfection.
He nailed it. He nailed it. That's exactly how these
tribute videos feel. If you've ever.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Seen one, and how could you miss them? It's I've
been to a lot of funerals as I've gotten older,
a lot of people have dropped dead in my life,
and I've seen a lot of these videos and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And it's like that.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
It's like you're memorializing a player who's about to go
out there and play. It's like, so, I say bravo
to Cooper Cup. The man spent eight years with the Rams.
He could ram it all day, could ram it all night.
He had that cheat code season back in twenty twenty one.
Offensive Player of the Year almost won an MVP.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Was unstoppable, a great RAM great player not anymore. It
is washed up.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
But regardless of that, he's also a grown adult with
a pulse, as he pointed out, very much alive. And
he doesn't need confetti, Cannons doesn't need the party favors
and all that stuff, the big screen validation because I
used to work there, like I used to work. The
(14:39):
league has learned as a business, the NFL. They've turned
this into the Vermont maple syrup business with lots of sap,
lots of stapp. Now, I do give the Cowboys credit
because they didn't do that when Micaeh Parsons came back.
But very rarely does this not happen? Very rarely is
this not happen. Every guy to the fact that leaves
(15:00):
town ends up getting a video package on the scoreboard,
roll the montage, roll them on. It's smaltzy. It's the
smaltzy inflation, is what it is. Everyone needs a cake
and balloons and a little social media video. And they
got to get Morgan Freeman to narrate their goodbye. Let's
(15:24):
pay Morgan Freeman a couple of grand and we'll do
a very emotional read and enough already. Now wait, wait
till the guy retires. If you want to do something
like that, bring him back. You can cry and save
the nostalgia for the main the main event, which is
when the career is over and all stuff. And it's
(15:44):
story odd because I think Cooper Cup's gonna play.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
He has been injured.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
But if he does play, assim he was circling that
game on the schedule, He's gonna try to get one
hundred yards and a touchdown and all that stuff. And
he had the proper response, simple, dry, perfect, I'm not
ye translation, you play the game to win the game.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Knock off the drama.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
O rama.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
And he's right, He's right, hard is still ticking. The rams.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Don't need to throw him a little ash scattering at
sea ceremony just because he happens to be playing for
the Seahawks. And let's put the pause on the JumboTron
sympathy parade. We're good, all right now, final point, We
go back to the Twin Cities basketball story. Appearing on
some fledgling NBA podcast, The very rarely interesting coach of
(16:36):
the basketball team in Minnesota, Chris Finch.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Is his name. He's the tim tim Wolves coach.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
So Chris Finch was discussing the art of podcasting on
a podcast and somebody took a stray shot. Yeah, collateral
damage Yep, down range that person.
Speaker 8 (17:04):
J. J.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Reddick, Chris Finch said, quote on a podcast about podcasting.
He said, quote, I mean it'll qualify you to coach
the Lakers, Chris Finch said in a deadpan delivery. And
it's no secret that Reddick JJ Reddick the most pompous
(17:28):
man in the world. If you don't believe me, just
listen to him talk. With no prior coaching experience. JJ
Redick was hired last before last season by the Lakers
ahead of the twenty four to twenty five campaign, and
he had spent the years since retirement primarily as a broadcaster,
but mostly as a podcaster, and he hosted a podcast
(17:50):
alongside Ron James and they were podcast buddies.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And then he gets the job.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So the question, give me your reaction to a sitting
NBA coach Chris Finch of the Timberwolves taking a jab
actually more than a job at JJ Reddick's resume. So
my reaction to this is how sweet it is? How
(18:18):
sweet it is? Uh man, that's how you do it.
That is a professional assassination, is what that is. You're
talking about podcasting and then boom goes to dynamite.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You'll qualify it to coach the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
You do that, oh podcast, and that's not again, not
even a jab.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
That is a big jug of tru serum and.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
A body blow, body blow, body blow. The Lakers turned
the sport into a content house. Forget about paying dues
in Sioux Falls. Forget about those long nights with the
matt Ants on the bus or the Vipers.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
All you have to do is have a podcast with
Lebron and you talk about to pick and roll, even
if you're picking your nose. You talk about the pick
and roll angles for five or six episodes of the podcast,
and abro kadabra, hocus pocus presto, here are the keys
to a franchise. It absolutely humiliated the coaching brotherhood. It
(19:19):
did you know a bunch of dudes that are grinding
it out in the G League in high school sized gymnasiums,
eating lukewarm chicken tenders out of a steam tray at
one in the morning in Fort Wayne with America's favorite
crossing guard in Fort Wayne while breaking down film on
(19:40):
a cracked iPad.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
And then you've got J. J.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Reddick, who shows up because he brought Lebron some homemade
chocolate chip cookies before they recorded the podcast, and Lebron
loves chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Seriously, like Finch said, what everyone else in the league
was whispering, what most knowledgeable people understand. JJ Reddick him
taking over his job with the Lakers is embarrassing.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
The Lakers didn't care. They were like, okay, we'll emasculate ourselves.
We'll emasculate the entire NBA. In so many words, said
experience is optional, friendship with the stars mandatory. And this
is anyone else that does a podcast with Lebron.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Those are the other candidates.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Now, Sigmund Freud was right, every joke carries some truth.
Now I imagine that Chris Finch will say, hey, I was
just kidding the Timberwolves coach. But again, Sigmund Freud, every
joke carries some truth in it. So Finch did not
accidentally say that that was a coded message. Dots and dashes,
dots and dashes. The whole thing was a circus clown show,
(20:57):
and we know it.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
We know and listen.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Good for JJ getting to the playoffs or whatever and
then playing all of his starters the entire second half.
It doesn't change the optics. And by the way, I
have a path to salvation, big news.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Zo and announce on the radio that I am planning on.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Starting a podcast with ant man Anthony Edwards, and I'll
be doing that, and then I'll.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Be coaching the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I make some really good cookies, so I'm gonna bring
those to the podcast, and then Anthony Edwards is gonna say,
I want that guy to coach me, and they'll hand
me a clipboard with the Timberwolves logo on.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It, and there we go. What's that?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Oh, you're saying that only works for the Lakers. Okay,

So please act accordingly. In all right, back to what
we bounced around on the top of the hour Mallar monologue,
a couple of stories that caught my attention. Justin Jefferson
(24:21):
not very happy with j J. McCarthy right now and
Shane and Moyes says Ben, I'd love to make a
bet with you on the Rams versus Seahawks thing this weekend,
but I'm not sure a hat versus golden ticket bet
is anything you can you care about? Go Hawks, Shane.
(24:43):
I am obsessed with hats.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Shane.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I will certainly make a wager if you would like
about a hat. I am open to doing that. It's
got to be a hat I don't have. I don't
need a Seahawk hat.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I'm good on that. I don't need that. I'm a
RAM fan. I'll take the Rams now. Is the point
spread involved here?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Shane in the more and that's what I need to know,
Andy and Lionel Lakes Minnesota, says Ben. I've got a
clipboard and a few crayons in the truck here and
a couple of Timberwolve stickers at home. I think we
can get you in with an endorsement from the k
fan boys.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You're you're a shoe in for the job. Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Yeah, that's the path, man, that is the path. That's
the path to do it. Rebecca says, my late father
had a long career in radio, So maybe I can
coach a pro bouncy ball team too, Rebecca.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I think that's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You pick whatever team you want, Rebecca, I'm gonna I
think I'm gonna coach Minnesota because my plan is to
do a podcast with Anthony Edwards and I'll be the
guy that tosses to him and makes them sound good
and then and then I'll do the coach and then
I'll be that and you can pick another team, Rebecca,
because I'm gonna coach the Timberwolves.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
That's what I'm going to do. Yeah, just Josh says.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
The last time Robbie, the Mariner fan said no justice,
no peace, and all out brawl broke out at the
Cracker barrel, an elderly woman was assaulted with a pineapple.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That's just Josh.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yes, Robbie a little testy about cal Raley not winning
the MVP. If only the Mariners had pinstripes, he would
have won the v problem is they don't have an
interlocking n Why and they don't they don't have.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
The pin stripes.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Other than that, an MVP type season for for good
old cal Raley. Let's go to the phones and we've
got lame jokes. Next hour, Mallard of the third degree.
Later this hour, let's say hello to Jed who fled? Hello,
Jed who fled?
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Ben I love how on my overcast podcast app it
has as your pitch t icon. There's a there's a
line in Ricky Bobby's Talladaga Nights. He says, I'm going
to pass out because this is not judgment. I'm going
to pass out because the gayness your shirt has no
insignia on it, and your hat, the Man of all
hats has no logo on it.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Well, okay, time out, let me explain. Okay, So the
hat was the photo they used. They asked me to
send a photo in because every time they take photos,
I look like I'm.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
A blue whale. I look youmongous. So they asked me
some wales.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
No, so they asked me, they've only done a few
photo shoots here that I look terrible in every photo
they've ever done with me, And.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
So they asked me to send a photo.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
So I send them a couple of photos and the
one I sent that's a Dodger hat that I have.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
But apparently their word, they're gonna get sued.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
So they photo shopped out the logo on the hat,
and there was something on the shirt which they also
got rid of as well, So it's all been photoshopped
but you can't tell what was there, But it was
a Dodger hat that I was wearing.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Are you happy now, Jed? Does that make you happy?
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Something rotten in the state of Denmark? Is wild of Denmark?
Why does Lorraina love whales?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Boys are great? My wife loves whales. Do we go
whale watch.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
If you answer that question like they thought, I'm talking
about whales, dude, and shut up.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I was trying to make a joke about the fact
that the great scam of whale watching.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I've been whale watching, uh in all over the West coast.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
You gotta do you have a marygood You've been real
watching for a long time.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Wow, we're watching all over the place.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
And so then, uh, every time I go whale watching
this we were gonna see.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Whales are out there, and you only see dolphins. You
never see whales.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Like one time I've seen whales one time I go
some dolphin times.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
I'm sometimes I'm the overnight watch with my buddy, who's
the you know, charter boat captain here in time of
fit the beach and I was standing awake overnight and
it's during the daytime. I'm sleeping, you know, and all
of a sudden, I hear shotgun blast, and I'm like,
what if he's like, these damn dolphins are killing a
bait for the snapper, and he was firing shotguns at
the dolphins. Unless that's the legal he would not do that.
Speaking of Scott Boris, dude, my nephew's gonna be a
(28:57):
best man at a wedding here upcoming, And I told
him to a ranger where he gave this speech after
the maid ofy. I was like, you got to lead
off with I'm not a stalker, but that girl is
hard to follow, you know what I mean? Because Scott
Boris and Don Rickles love jokes like that. They used
the P word alliterational line. But I'm saying that girls,
I'm not a stalker, but that girl is hard to follow. Like,
(29:17):
but then I can't think of any sort of social media, like, hey,
check out social media. She says, he's hard to follow
because you might get her saying over at that point,
what do you think?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
You're back on the good stuff, Jed, You're back on
the good stuff.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Now, I'm still thinking. I'm still thinking. But what I'm
saying is, think about if you're the president the United
States and you're on the eighteenth hole, you don't have
time for any sort of extra holes playoff golf, but
you have the golf gods. They're like they're like a
Roger Roger Warterer's golf tee, like pink Folly. They're like, oh,
in all, we just hold another ball. But they don't.
They don't think, but they're like, you can't pull against
(29:51):
other people to miss butt. And the President's like, I
don't have time for extra holes, So what I do?
And the golf gods are like you can pull for
them to be in today the golf gods are unscrupulous,
but you can't pull for somebody to miss the putt.
What do you think the President of United States does
when he's playing anybody, governor, congresspeople born dignitaries, and his
tight hole and yet he's one hole ahead. He can't
(30:13):
pull for them to miss that putt? What do you do? Hey, listen,
and I was playing President.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You should do Jed? You know you should do Jed Jay.
Let me tell you.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
I know you never to listen. I do know what
to do. I always say, hey, President poot you're playing golf,
can we call you President Putton? Okay, that's dam pootude.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
That's a hole in one president right there.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
So if I open up the mall or shop, we
should have Jed Jed who fled moonshine. We should sell
some Jed who fled moonshine. I know truck or Joe
sent some moonshine in. But we should have some jed
who fled moonshine.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Where have you gone whale watching.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Of Santa Barbara, Orange County, San Diego, Uh, Long Beach.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Even in San Diego, you didn't get any any whales.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I've only seen wales. We've only seen him one time,
and that was in Santa Barbara.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Actually some of Santa Barbara. Yeah, so that was.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Uh, you see whales all the time you go out there.
I see a lot of dolphins. I have those spinner dolphins.
Those are the those are the razzle dazzle dolphins. You know,
the ones that spin around to put on a show.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, look at me, dude, I'm the cool dolphin man.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
I've only been whale watching once, but it was in Alaska.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
So wow, Okay, Alaska, that's where the whales hang out.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Yeah, that's there, you know, that's their spot. Now. I
wanted to go in Vancouver. When we were in Vancouver,
we didn't know oh yeah that schedule.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, because I looked up and they had some really
cool whale watching stuff. But it was like an all
half either half a day or an all day thing,
and we didn't have time because of the commitments that
we had, So I couldn't get out there. But now
go back to Vancouver some day and shaded out maybe Seattle.
I've been to Seattle a couple of times. I remember
been whale watching there. It's probably pretty good there. It's
just south of Vancouver.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Can't be that bad, right anyway, Now let's go back
to the phones.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
We'll say hello to Blind Scott, who's on the north
end of Boston.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Hello, Blind Scott, Hey, what's up?
Speaker 9 (31:59):
You had to go out, Moby Dick. It's like a
book about Nantucket. Nantucker was like a whaling community, uh
where I grew up on Cape Cod That's where my
parents live, and uh, we were like the scene there
was like the National Seashore. They have the best beaches
in the world there. They have like this right whale population.
(32:19):
You can see whales around here all the time. They
have like eight hundred right whales in the area around here.
I'm dude, I've been real busy. Like I was walking
around and this guy was like, you assaulted me with
with my mobility cane, you know, And I was like,
I hope this guy just starts beating up because I
was going to sue the pants off of him and
(32:40):
his whole family. Dude, if I was Blair, I would

Speaker 2 (38:59):
It's none other than Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears,
the worst inaccurate throw rate in the NFL heading into
Week eleven.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
Here we go, here we go, here to the third degree.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
This is one Big Ben gets grilled, all right?
Speaker 8 (39:18):
Cool op Jack's coach Liam Cohen addressed the media on
Wednesday and said it's prettymature to make a decision on
whether or not Travis Hunter will continue playing on both
sides of the ball when he returns from injury. Ben,
do you think his days of playing both ways is over?
Speaker 6 (39:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
And here's why, because he's not great at anything.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
He's average as a defensive back, he's averaged as a
wide receiver. If he was a great defensive back, you
just play him at defensive back. If he's a great receiver,
you just play him as a receiver. So they're getting average,
they trade it up to get him. I think he's
gonna They're gonna come back and do it again, and
then if he gets hurt again, they'll just make him a.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Wide receiver and that's that. But I don't think it's
over four and playing both sides.
Speaker 8 (39:55):
Next, justin Tucker's ten games suspension is over and he
is now eligible to be signed by any t There
are a lot of teams with kicking issues. Do you
think any of them would take the pr hit of
signing Tucker?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Well, he's got the double whim, he's got the pr problem,
and he wasn't kicking as well his last year in Baltimore,
so that's the issue. I listen, the Rams need a kicker,
Green Bay could use a kicker. Atlanta there's a bunch
of teams, as you said, that need a kicker. I
don't think he will be back in the NFL this
season next there.
Speaker 8 (40:25):
Were reports that the Dodgers could be part of the
market for Cody Bellinger's free agency this offseason, Ben, would
you welcome reunion with Bellinger?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
No, he was great for a couple of years. I
have PTSD on Cody Bellinger. He was so bad for
multiple years with the Dodgers. I want nothing to do
with Belger. Let him stay with the Yankees, play in
that small bar park in the Bronx. But they should
get somebody else, not him. How did we down code
you pass this edition? As they went play I won
(40:54):
for the Golden Banana.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
I won
Boom Shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number two.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Our number two.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
And here in our number two, we start out in
Minnesota as there's some drama with the big money wide
receiver having some problems catching the football with the new quarterback.
What are your impressions of Justin Jefferson not appearing to
be very happy with red shirt rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy. Also,
(00:27):
how did you react to Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Cup
letting the Rams know that his heart is still ticking.
They're gonna give one of those dopey jumbo tron video tributes.
And also what is your ryak schan to Minnesota Timberwolves
coach Chris Finch. That's pro bouncy ball taking a jab
at podcaster JJ Reddick's resume. We'll go there as well,
(00:51):
and god only knows what else here it is our
number two. Some purple problems. Well, in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Malor Show, we are in
the air everywhere as we talk continuously. It's part of
(01:11):
the job destriction, as we just are here all night
and we say promises made, promises kept coast to coast,
border to border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
On the vast and forcefully powerful microphones of fs.
Speaker 2 (01:26):

and when that happens, we always go indoors from the
world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by.

At DraftKings, the crown is yours. So I leave this
hour from Minnesota. We'll get back to the Thursday night game.
Patriots win a workmanlike effort. They did not cover the spread,
(03:18):
at least the big spread. It was up to thirteen
and a half. But our lead is from Minnesota. Not
all is right on the shores of Lake Minnetonka. If
you did not see this, perhaps not the most decorated
in terms of money receiver in the NFL. Justin Jefferson
is not exactly getting it done at a high level
(03:39):
so far this season, at least not with his current quarterback,
and Justin Jefferson's saying that he is trying to work back.
He said, trying to work back to the level that
he reached a couple years back. In twenty twenty two,
which inspired him. That was the spark to get paid
the big money. Jefferson said he wanted to return to
when he called what he called his savage mode. Well,
(04:03):
I can just give you the whole sound bite, but
why don't we go to the audio tape.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Here's Jefferson who wants to have a different mentality.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Here's mister Jefferson.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Take a list personally, mentally, just wanting to get back
into that mode into I like to say savage mode.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Savage mo. I mean, it's just going.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Out there with that fit mentality and just going out
there and just killing it.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I want to thank him for saying ef it and
not the full F word. Normally we have to bleep that,
but he said effort. We don't have to bleep effort.
He meant fun it. I think he meant fun it
right or fudget. He could have said fudget, but he
didn't say what you thought he said then.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
But wait, there's more. Justin Jefferson Viking Receiver was asked.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Why things haven't been the way they were before.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Take a listen life.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You know a lot of different things going on in
my life and just wanting to get back to that
that kid phase of loving I still love football, but
overly loving football and overly loved just being out there
on Sundays and making the big plays and just being
a part of this great organization.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
So he claimed, Jefferson that he was inspired because of clip.
I remember that famous catch he had, and I say famous.
It was a regular season game against Buffalo, but he
had that leaping one handed grab against the Bills.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Remember the catch. It was a pretty big deal when
it happened.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
And so the anniversary of that it was this week,
and a bunch of people who were engagement farming sent
that out on social media and Jefferson saw it, and
so he brought that up as a point of reference.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Now we should point.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Out that in his last game Dud Jefferson against the
Baltimore football team JJ McCarthy, who's drowning at quarterback, two
of his passes that were intended for Jefferson were intercepted
by the Ravens, and on both occasions, not once, but twice,
Jefferson did not see him all that interested in making
(06:03):
a play on the defender who had intercepted the pass.
On the interception return, now there are many close observers
with magnifying glasses out that have seen signs.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I see the sign. They have seen signs that Jefferson
is not on board.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
No, no, no, he's not on the happy train Drew. No, no,
he's not that interested in developing the young quarterback.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
He attempted to push back on that. In fact, in
that same interview session, he called JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
A quote great player and added he's a great quarterback
and he's a great kid. The word is great. Okay,
So that is a good jumping off point. Let's dive
into this one, the question what are your impressions of
Justin Jefferson not appearing to be all that happy with
(07:01):
the vikings and mainly with the quarterback JJ McCarthy. So
my observations on this, I've got babysitting Vermont, maple syrup
and mad ants, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to be in the
lap of luxury, is what We're going to be in
the lap of luxury.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So number.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
So, Justin Jefferson can say all the right things, right,
I can say all the right things, but the man's
body language.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Remember most of communication.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Is body language, the body language is writing a completely
different book. It's a much different novel body language versus
the words that are coming out of his mouth. You
don't need to watch the All twenty two like JJ
and written. You don't need some nerdy analytical dork on
YouTube or buried behind a paywall on a shady football.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Website to break it down for you.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
The lolly gagging, that's the word lolly gagging on the interceptions,
No hustle, no chase, just a kind of a shrug
emoji type effort. Day give day, give it. That is
a superstar saying I'm really not into this.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I'm not into it.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Jefferson knows what it's like to have a quarterback that
can get him the ball on a regular basis and
provide him the opportunity to become an elite wide receiver
and all that stuff. He was elite and a couple
of years there he was a walking cheat code for
the Minnesota Vikes. Right now, when JJ McCarthy is quarterbacking,
(08:40):
he's giving that Onendell Robinson level production, giving the Michael
Pittman junior level production. Jefferson producing in four starts with
red shirt rookie JJ McCarthy an average of four point
two catches per game for fifty two yards cards per game. Now,
(09:02):
that's fine if you're Wanda Robinson. Robins is a good player,
is not a great player. Michael Pittman Junior a good player,
not a great player. It's fine for those guys. However,
when you're the guy that got the one hundred and
forty million dollar contract, you're supposed to be the greatest
player on the planet, and it doesn't look that way
right now.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
It's bad.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It's real bad. When McCarthy's out there. I say, it's
a small sample size, but we have a show to
do today. And this is the vibe I got from
Jefferson watching some of those clips from the Baltimore game,
is I don't like the new toy that I got.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I don't you know, the energy like when a kid
gets a toy on Christmas or honok or something. They
open it up and it's like the wrong gift, and
do we have the receipt I got to return this,
don't I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now, the Vikings problem.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Is that they obviously drafted McCarthy in the first round.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
There was a lot of moving parts to get McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Let some people go to get him and all that stuff,
and they need a booster rocket to help boost the
quarterback at this point, and instead Jefferson's giving the vibe
of why am I babysitting this guy again? Like I
got paid, this is the prime of my career. I'm
never going to be better than I am right now,
(10:18):
and you're cramping my style because this guy didn't know
what he's doing, and so that's it. He's twenty six.
He's giving off the vibes like he's middle aged. Body
language says I'm grumpy. Body language says I'm annoyed. Body
language says I'm not hiding it. And then he comes
out with the he's a great quarterback, great kid line.
(10:38):
Now the problem with that is too many greats. He
kept repeating the word great. So it looks to me,
after a minute long deliberation of the available evidence, like
he was pulled aside by the PR people the PR war,
trying to win the PR culture war.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
The spin doctor said, all right, listen, let me give
you some flashcards.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Here's what you say about the quarterback and the media
will be fine. Just say this, and if you don't
say this. You're gonna start a wildfire, and we don't
want to start a wildfire.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So just just go through the point by point. Use
the word great. Just call him great, great, great, great great.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Okay, well call him great, great, great great, great, great player,
great quarterback, great kid great. You know, makes a mean omelet,
really good omelet. Toast not so good. He's working on
the toast. But he's working.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
He's doing. He's doing as good as he can do.
Bacon needs a little work as well. The bacon needs
a little work. But listen, here, here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
The tape does not lie Justin Jefferson when he's played
with McCarthy. There are plenty of eclips. You can find them yourself.
Even the blind listeners like Stevie Meatballs can see them.
Justin Jefferson is disconnected, looks a little checked out there.
And so you really don't need to bring in some
kind of special investigator to decode what's going on. It's
(11:52):
not much of a mystery. Jefferson is not happy doesn't
mean he's good. To demand a trade doesn't mean that.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
It just means he's frustrated with JJ McCarthy. He's annoyed.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
With his lack of opportunity, and the more he says
everything's fine, the louder the body language gets that it's
not fine, and he's even though financially living a high
on the hog, not so much the rest of the way.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Meanwhile, to Seattle, we go, what kind of it's actually
an LA storyline. The Rams and Seahawks get together on
Sunday and a massively important NFC West slobber knocker.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
That matchup not just a game, it's a slobber knocker.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
So the Rams, we have learned, are planning a full
blown Hallmark movie on the JumboTron as a tribute for
the emotional return of Cooper Cup.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeap oh, so sad he.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Now plays with the Seahawks, not much because he's often
hurt and Cooper Cup was asked about the Rams showing
a tribute video and what did he say?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
What did Cooper Cup say? Hmmm, what do you think
he said?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Well, he said, I don't know, I didn't die. I'm here,
is what he said. It's a great quote. It's a
really good quote. I didn't die, he said, I don't know,
I didn't die. I'm still here, all right. Questioned how
did you react to that clip? The money quote from
(13:24):
wide receiver Cooper Cup letting the Rams know that his
heart is still ticking.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
What's good.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
We're happy that his heart is still ticking. He does
not need an ambulance. There's no need for paramedics to
come and help him out.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I didn't die. That is what a line. It's perfection.
He nailed it. He nailed it. That's exactly how these
tribute videos feel. If you've ever.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Seen one, and how could you miss them? It's I've
been to a lot of funerals as I've gotten older,
a lot of people have dropped dead in my life,
and I've seen a lot of these videos and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And it's like that.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
It's like you're memorializing a player who's about to go
out there and play. It's like, so, I say bravo
to Cooper Cup. The man spent eight years with the Rams.
He could ram it all day, could ram it all night.
He had that cheat code season back in twenty twenty one.
Offensive Player of the Year almost won an MVP.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Was unstoppable, a great RAM great player not anymore. It
is washed up.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
But regardless of that, he's also a grown adult with
a pulse, as he pointed out, very much alive. And
he doesn't need confetti, Cannons doesn't need the party favors
and all that stuff, the big screen validation because I
used to work there, like I used to work. The
(14:39):
league has learned as a business, the NFL. They've turned
this into the Vermont maple syrup business with lots of sap,
lots of stapp. Now, I do give the Cowboys credit
because they didn't do that when Micaeh Parsons came back.
But very rarely does this not happen? Very rarely is
this not happen. Every guy to the fact that leaves
(15:00):
town ends up getting a video package on the scoreboard,
roll the montage, roll them on. It's smaltzy. It's the
smaltzy inflation, is what it is. Everyone needs a cake
and balloons and a little social media video. And they
got to get Morgan Freeman to narrate their goodbye. Let's
(15:24):
pay Morgan Freeman a couple of grand and we'll do
a very emotional read and enough already. Now wait, wait
till the guy retires. If you want to do something
like that, bring him back. You can cry and save
the nostalgia for the main the main event, which is
when the career is over and all stuff. And it's
(15:44):
story odd because I think Cooper Cup's gonna play.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
He has been injured.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
But if he does play, assim he was circling that
game on the schedule, He's gonna try to get one
hundred yards and a touchdown and all that stuff. And
he had the proper response, simple, dry, perfect, I'm not
ye translation, you play the game to win the game.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Knock off the drama.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
O rama.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
And he's right, He's right, hard is still ticking. The rams.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Don't need to throw him a little ash scattering at
sea ceremony just because he happens to be playing for
the Seahawks. And let's put the pause on the JumboTron
sympathy parade. We're good, all right now, final point, We
go back to the Twin Cities basketball story. Appearing on
some fledgling NBA podcast, The very rarely interesting coach of
(16:36):
the basketball team in Minnesota, Chris Finch.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Is his name. He's the tim tim Wolves coach.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
So Chris Finch was discussing the art of podcasting on
a podcast and somebody took a stray shot. Yeah, collateral
damage Yep, down range that person.
Speaker 8 (17:04):
J. J.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Reddick, Chris Finch said, quote on a podcast about podcasting.
He said, quote, I mean it'll qualify you to coach
the Lakers, Chris Finch said in a deadpan delivery. And
it's no secret that Reddick JJ Reddick the most pompous
(17:28):
man in the world. If you don't believe me, just
listen to him talk. With no prior coaching experience. JJ
Redick was hired last before last season by the Lakers
ahead of the twenty four to twenty five campaign, and
he had spent the years since retirement primarily as a broadcaster,
but mostly as a podcaster, and he hosted a podcast
(17:50):
alongside Ron James and they were podcast buddies.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And then he gets the job.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So the question, give me your reaction to a sitting
NBA coach Chris Finch of the Timberwolves taking a jab
actually more than a job at JJ Reddick's resume. So
my reaction to this is how sweet it is? How
(18:18):
sweet it is? Uh man, that's how you do it.
That is a professional assassination, is what that is. You're
talking about podcasting and then boom goes to dynamite.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You'll qualify it to coach the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
You do that, oh podcast, and that's not again, not
even a jab.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
That is a big jug of tru serum and.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
A body blow, body blow, body blow. The Lakers turned
the sport into a content house. Forget about paying dues
in Sioux Falls. Forget about those long nights with the
matt Ants on the bus or the Vipers.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
All you have to do is have a podcast with
Lebron and you talk about to pick and roll, even
if you're picking your nose. You talk about the pick
and roll angles for five or six episodes of the podcast,
and abro kadabra, hocus pocus presto, here are the keys
to a franchise. It absolutely humiliated the coaching brotherhood. It
(19:19):
did you know a bunch of dudes that are grinding
it out in the G League in high school sized gymnasiums,
eating lukewarm chicken tenders out of a steam tray at
one in the morning in Fort Wayne with America's favorite
crossing guard in Fort Wayne while breaking down film on
(19:40):
a cracked iPad.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
And then you've got J. J.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Reddick, who shows up because he brought Lebron some homemade
chocolate chip cookies before they recorded the podcast, and Lebron
loves chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Seriously, like Finch said, what everyone else in the league
was whispering, what most knowledgeable people understand. JJ Reddick him
taking over his job with the Lakers is embarrassing.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
The Lakers didn't care. They were like, okay, we'll emasculate ourselves.
We'll emasculate the entire NBA. In so many words, said
experience is optional, friendship with the stars mandatory. And this
is anyone else that does a podcast with Lebron.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Those are the other candidates.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Now, Sigmund Freud was right, every joke carries some truth.
Now I imagine that Chris Finch will say, hey, I was
just kidding the Timberwolves coach. But again, Sigmund Freud, every
joke carries some truth in it. So Finch did not
accidentally say that that was a coded message. Dots and dashes,
dots and dashes. The whole thing was a circus clown show,
(20:57):
and we know it.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
We know and listen.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Good for JJ getting to the playoffs or whatever and
then playing all of his starters the entire second half.
It doesn't change the optics. And by the way, I
have a path to salvation, big news.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Zo and announce on the radio that I am planning on.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Starting a podcast with ant man Anthony Edwards, and I'll
be doing that, and then I'll.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Be coaching the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I make some really good cookies, so I'm gonna bring
those to the podcast, and then Anthony Edwards is gonna say,
I want that guy to coach me, and they'll hand
me a clipboard with the Timberwolves logo on.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It, and there we go. What's that?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Oh, you're saying that only works for the Lakers. Okay,

So please act accordingly. In all right, back to what
we bounced around on the top of the hour Mallar monologue,
a couple of stories that caught my attention. Justin Jefferson
(24:21):
not very happy with j J. McCarthy right now and
Shane and Moyes says Ben, I'd love to make a
bet with you on the Rams versus Seahawks thing this weekend,
but I'm not sure a hat versus golden ticket bet
is anything you can you care about? Go Hawks, Shane.
(24:43):
I am obsessed with hats.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Shane.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I will certainly make a wager if you would like
about a hat. I am open to doing that. It's
got to be a hat I don't have. I don't
need a Seahawk hat.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I'm good on that. I don't need that. I'm a
RAM fan. I'll take the Rams now. Is the point
spread involved here?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Shane in the more and that's what I need to know,
Andy and Lionel Lakes Minnesota, says Ben. I've got a
clipboard and a few crayons in the truck here and
a couple of Timberwolve stickers at home. I think we
can get you in with an endorsement from the k
fan boys.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You're you're a shoe in for the job. Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Yeah, that's the path, man, that is the path. That's
the path to do it. Rebecca says, my late father
had a long career in radio, So maybe I can
coach a pro bouncy ball team too, Rebecca.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I think that's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You pick whatever team you want, Rebecca, I'm gonna I
think I'm gonna coach Minnesota because my plan is to
do a podcast with Anthony Edwards and I'll be the
guy that tosses to him and makes them sound good
and then and then I'll do the coach and then
I'll be that and you can pick another team, Rebecca,
because I'm gonna coach the Timberwolves.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
That's what I'm going to do. Yeah, just Josh says.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
The last time Robbie, the Mariner fan said no justice,
no peace, and all out brawl broke out at the
Cracker barrel, an elderly woman was assaulted with a pineapple.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That's just Josh.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yes, Robbie a little testy about cal Raley not winning
the MVP. If only the Mariners had pinstripes, he would
have won the v problem is they don't have an
interlocking n Why and they don't they don't have.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
The pin stripes.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Other than that, an MVP type season for for good
old cal Raley. Let's go to the phones and we've
got lame jokes. Next hour, Mallard of the third degree.
Later this hour, let's say hello to Jed who fled? Hello,
Jed who fled?
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Ben I love how on my overcast podcast app it
has as your pitch t icon. There's a there's a
line in Ricky Bobby's Talladaga Nights. He says, I'm going
to pass out because this is not judgment. I'm going
to pass out because the gayness your shirt has no
insignia on it, and your hat, the Man of all
hats has no logo on it.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Well, okay, time out, let me explain. Okay, So the
hat was the photo they used. They asked me to
send a photo in because every time they take photos,
I look like I'm.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
A blue whale. I look youmongous. So they asked me
some wales.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
No, so they asked me, they've only done a few
photo shoots here that I look terrible in every photo
they've ever done with me, And.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
So they asked me to send a photo.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
So I send them a couple of photos and the
one I sent that's a Dodger hat that I have.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
But apparently their word, they're gonna get sued.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
So they photo shopped out the logo on the hat,
and there was something on the shirt which they also
got rid of as well, So it's all been photoshopped
but you can't tell what was there, But it was
a Dodger hat that I was wearing.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Are you happy now, Jed? Does that make you happy?
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Something rotten in the state of Denmark? Is wild of Denmark?
Why does Lorraina love whales?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Boys are great? My wife loves whales. Do we go
whale watch.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
If you answer that question like they thought, I'm talking
about whales, dude, and shut up.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I was trying to make a joke about the fact
that the great scam of whale watching.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I've been whale watching, uh in all over the West coast.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
You gotta do you have a marygood You've been real
watching for a long time.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Wow, we're watching all over the place.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
And so then, uh, every time I go whale watching
this we were gonna see.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Whales are out there, and you only see dolphins. You
never see whales.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Like one time I've seen whales one time I go
some dolphin times.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
I'm sometimes I'm the overnight watch with my buddy, who's
the you know, charter boat captain here in time of
fit the beach and I was standing awake overnight and
it's during the daytime. I'm sleeping, you know, and all
of a sudden, I hear shotgun blast, and I'm like,
what if he's like, these damn dolphins are killing a
bait for the snapper, and he was firing shotguns at
the dolphins. Unless that's the legal he would not do that.
Speaking of Scott Boris, dude, my nephew's gonna be a
(28:57):
best man at a wedding here upcoming, And I told
him to a ranger where he gave this speech after
the maid ofy. I was like, you got to lead
off with I'm not a stalker, but that girl is
hard to follow, you know what I mean? Because Scott
Boris and Don Rickles love jokes like that. They used
the P word alliterational line. But I'm saying that girls,
I'm not a stalker, but that girl is hard to follow. Like,
(29:17):
but then I can't think of any sort of social media, like, hey,
check out social media. She says, he's hard to follow
because you might get her saying over at that point,
what do you think?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
You're back on the good stuff, Jed, You're back on
the good stuff.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Now, I'm still thinking. I'm still thinking. But what I'm
saying is, think about if you're the president the United
States and you're on the eighteenth hole, you don't have
time for any sort of extra holes playoff golf, but
you have the golf gods. They're like they're like a
Roger Roger Warterer's golf tee, like pink Folly. They're like, oh,
in all, we just hold another ball. But they don't.
They don't think, but they're like, you can't pull against
(29:51):
other people to miss butt. And the President's like, I
don't have time for extra holes, So what I do?
And the golf gods are like you can pull for
them to be in today the golf gods are unscrupulous,
but you can't pull for somebody to miss the putt.
What do you think the President of United States does
when he's playing anybody, governor, congresspeople born dignitaries, and his
tight hole and yet he's one hole ahead. He can't
(30:13):
pull for them to miss that putt? What do you do? Hey, listen,
and I was playing President.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You should do Jed? You know you should do Jed Jay.
Let me tell you.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
I know you never to listen. I do know what
to do. I always say, hey, President poot you're playing golf,
can we call you President Putton? Okay, that's dam pootude.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
That's a hole in one president right there.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
So if I open up the mall or shop, we
should have Jed Jed who fled moonshine. We should sell
some Jed who fled moonshine. I know truck or Joe
sent some moonshine in. But we should have some jed
who fled moonshine.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Where have you gone whale watching.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Of Santa Barbara, Orange County, San Diego, Uh, Long Beach.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Even in San Diego, you didn't get any any whales.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I've only seen wales. We've only seen him one time,
and that was in Santa Barbara.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Actually some of Santa Barbara. Yeah, so that was.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Uh, you see whales all the time you go out there.
I see a lot of dolphins. I have those spinner dolphins.
Those are the those are the razzle dazzle dolphins. You know,
the ones that spin around to put on a show.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, look at me, dude, I'm the cool dolphin man.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
I've only been whale watching once, but it was in Alaska.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
So wow, Okay, Alaska, that's where the whales hang out.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Yeah, that's there, you know, that's their spot. Now. I
wanted to go in Vancouver. When we were in Vancouver,
we didn't know oh yeah that schedule.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, because I looked up and they had some really
cool whale watching stuff. But it was like an all
half either half a day or an all day thing,
and we didn't have time because of the commitments that
we had, So I couldn't get out there. But now
go back to Vancouver some day and shaded out maybe Seattle.
I've been to Seattle a couple of times. I remember
been whale watching there. It's probably pretty good there. It's

Speaker 7 (39:08):
Here we go, here we go, here to the third degree.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
This is one Big Ben gets grilled, all right?
Speaker 8 (39:18):
Cool op Jack's coach Liam Cohen addressed the media on
Wednesday and said it's prettymature to make a decision on
whether or not Travis Hunter will continue playing on both
sides of the ball when he returns from injury. Ben,
do you think his days of playing both ways is over?
Speaker 6 (39:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
And here's why, because he's not great at anything.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
He's average as a defensive back, he's averaged as a
wide receiver. If he was a great defensive back, you
just play him at defensive back. If he's a great receiver,
you just play him as a receiver. So they're getting average,
they trade it up to get him. I think he's
gonna They're gonna come back and do it again, and
then if he gets hurt again, they'll just make him a.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Wide receiver and that's that. But I don't think it's
over four and playing both sides.
Speaker 8 (39:55):
Next, justin Tucker's ten games suspension is over and he
is now eligible to be signed by any t There
are a lot of teams with kicking issues. Do you
think any of them would take the pr hit of
signing Tucker?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Well, he's got the double whim, he's got the pr problem,
and he wasn't kicking as well his last year in Baltimore,
so that's the issue. I listen, the Rams need a kicker,
Green Bay could use a kicker. Atlanta there's a bunch
of teams, as you said, that need a kicker. I
don't think he will be back in the NFL this
season next there.
Speaker 8 (40:25):
Were reports that the Dodgers could be part of the
market for Cody Bellinger's free agency this offseason, Ben, would
you welcome reunion with Bellinger?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
No, he was great for a couple of years. I
have PTSD on Cody Bellinger. He was so bad for
multiple years with the Dodgers. I want nothing to do
with Belger. Let him stay with the Yankees, play in
that small bar park in the Bronx. But they should
get somebody else, not him. How did we down code
you pass this edition? As they went play I won
(40:54):
for the Golden Banana.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
I won

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
