Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number two. As we acknowledge
that you are a more important listener because you have
downloaded the podcast and you're actually listening to the podcast.
So here in hour number two, Mike McDaniel, that's a
wokester coach in Miami. He says the Dolphins have real

(00:21):
earn confidence and backup quarterback Skyler Thompson. Are you in
or are you out? On this? Also, where do you
file reports connecting Cam Newton to the Dolphins? Where you're
at on those reports? And Lamar Jackson claims the Ravens
are quote beating themselves. Is that how you see it?

(00:43):
Give you the inside skinny on all those stories and
more right now here it is our number two. They're
looking for a real skywalker. Welcome. In the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are in
the air everywhere talk mates, as we provide pundit pointers

(01:09):
coast stuckcoast, border to border and beyond on the vast
and impressively powerful microphones of fs are ammating live from

The way tire buying should be FSR Crank Shuttle, Mister
crank Shuttle likes that, likes that a lot, so our

(01:52):
lead this hour coming from South Florida or in depth
team coverage continues when a quarterback goes out with a
concussion and we are there, well kind of, so we
know that two a tongue of by Low is not
walking back through that door maybe ever again. And that
is where the Miami football team is preparing for life
sans tua. Now talking about Low has not retired as

(02:17):
far as we know. However, he is stuck in the
Great Abyss out in the Bermuda triangle and a holding
pattern in the concussion protocol injured reserves, so he's out
at least a month, and that means for the Dolphins.
Skyler is the limit? Is what that means here? So
if you've not been following, maybe not for now anyway,

(02:38):
for now anyway, the Dolphins are all in on Skyler Thompson.
Who Yeah, Mike McDaniel, the bubbly Dolphin head coach affirming
the organization is rallying around their backup quarterbacks, Skyler Thompson,

(03:00):
the seventh round pick, saying the following he said, quote
the confidence that the team has for Skyler is real
and it's earned.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Coach was effusive with his praise for the backup quarterback there,
talking about the hours of practice. Not a guy, not
a gay. We in here talking about practice, not a gay.
Hours and hours of practice he put in as a
Dolphin backup quarterback. So let's discuss the question. Mike McDaniel,

(03:34):
we just laid it out for us, saying that the
Dolphins have a real earned confidence, real earned confidence in
backup quarterback Skyler Thompson. As he prepares to start, are
you in or are you out? On this? So I've
got fortune Cookie, Red barn and Ed Sheeran and we

(03:57):
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to close the blinds, is what we're going to do.
So Na b W to answer the question are you
in or out on this? I am out out out

(04:18):
on this. Uh Now, this is one of those Malard
monologues where we give the disclaimer. Here we say, well,
what else could Mike McDaniel have said? Seriously, what what?
What will you say? And you're not allowed to be honest.
These guys all lie. Do you imagine if he'd come
out and say, yes, my name is Mike McDaniel and

(04:39):
I'm the coach of the Miami Dolphins, we don't have
a quarterback. We're porked. Uh, you're not gonna say that.
So they didn't have a contingency plan. He can't say that.
Though he can't say they didn't have a contingency plan.
They have to make it seem like, oh, yeah, we
like our backup quarterback, but they clearly didn't like him,
if I'm not mistaken. They brought in a guy named
Mike White who had played for the Jets, and they

(05:01):
wanted him to be the backup quarterback this year, and
then they ended up getting rid of him because I
guess he didn't look good in camp or whatever. So
they're stuck with Plan B, which was really playing C.
Who gets bumped up the Plan B and is now
Plan A. And so he the coach, Mike McDaniel, gives
a stock answer, next man up, do your job, support

(05:22):
your quarterback, all that stuff. Now do we expect Skyler
Thompson to be Nick Foles two point zero. No, we
have very low expectations. Now that said, I do believe
in the bumpety bump. I believe in the bumpety bump.
I'm a fan of the bumpety bump. And the bumpety
bump is when the star quarterback gets hurt, you have
a short term a week, two, three weeks possibly where

(05:44):
you can have some success with the backup quarterback. So
there is that, and this is something a winnable game.
No one thinks Seattle's all that good with Gino Smith.
That guy's a turd. So ultimately, this positivity from the
dolphin coach Mike McDaniel is right out of a fortune cookie.

(06:05):
It's right out of a fortune You crack the fortune
cookie and it says, don't pursue happiness, create it. So
they're trying to create, right, They're trying to create it.
Speaking new existence and all that mumbo jumbo. Now, page two,
Speaking of Miami, Miami, Miami, there are some social media
aggregators that claimed cam Newton was spotted in Miami. One

(06:29):
report even said cam Newton was at Dolphin practice developing
hot dot dot dot. So the dots being connected, could
it be a former MVP gonna be the next Dolphin
fill in quarterback? Well, where do you file? Here's the
question for the esteem panel. Where do you file the

(06:51):
report's connecting Cam Newton to the Dolphins? So I file
this one in the big red barn on the farm,
the barn on the farm, the big red barn on
the farm. And here's why. Engagement farming. That's what this is.

(07:12):
Engagement farming, nothing more, nothing less. Cam Newton was cooked
years ago. He was cooked the last couple of years
in Carolina. He proved it again with the Patriots, then
went back to Carolina just in case anyone had doubts,
you in the back of the room and said, hey,
I still blow. And so there was that. So, but
the name still has some pizaz. He's got the funny

(07:32):
hats he wears. He goes down to the haberdasherie and
wears the cute hats and all that stuff, and sure wonderful,
but there's no no interest. That would be That would
be malpractice, football malpractice if you're bringing Cam Newton in.
But he's got the pizaz, like we said, and all that.
So you tossed the name out. Click of a click

(07:52):
and page views go up. Tic tick tick tick tick up,
higher and higher and higher. But no, might as well
call Brett Farv. He'll be in Washington. Maybe he wants
to go play football down in Miami and see if
he's available. Knock yourself out. Now, final point. We go
to Boltt Moore Baltimore we go, and why do we
go to Baltimore? Because Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are

(08:17):
beating themselves. That's what he said. Those are not my words,
those are not my words. Those are the words of
Lamar Jackson. He said, Hey, we're beating ourselves. Is that
how you see it? So I'm gonna go the F word,
as in fogg. It's foggy. And this is the default position.

(08:40):
It is my thought, my hypothesis, that this is the
default position of every team that was supposed to be
good who's not good. It's not that we're just not
good all of a sudden, it's that, well, we're we're
causing these problems ourselves. And the reason it's foggy is, yes,
Baltimore has a of penalties and missed opportunities. That is

(09:04):
absolutely correct. But these are the building blocks of bad.
They're the building blocks of bad to the bone is
what they are. Remember those little wooden blocks you played
with when you were a kid. They had the one
two threes in the ABC's on them. Maybe you played
with him. I did. But the self inflicted wounds, which
is the default position of Lamar Jackson. And it's really

(09:27):
a bigger issue here because you have the soundtrack to
the Ravens is the edge chering tune. Bad habits, I
mean yeah, bad habits that they have developed here, and
that's how it goes. Now, regardless of that, you've got
a defense that has given up the most big plays
in football. What happened to that defense? You've got Lamar
Jackson who's slinging the ball all over the place but

(09:49):
often not hitting his receiver. In fact, in one statistic,
he has been as bad as Bryce Young, who just
got benched in Charlotte. And so you combine all those
together and this has been a team that got shredded
in the fourth quarter by my guy Gardiner Minshew. Now
I like Gardner Minshew, but you're a championship team allegedly,

(10:11):
and you just got torn up to bits by Gardner
Minshew and the defense against Kansas City, say, woul give
him a pass, but Kelsey didn't do anything in that game.
And Hollywood Brown's not playing this year for the Chiefs,
and so it's a similar group that they had last year.
And the Ravens were unable to consistently stop the Chiefs

(10:33):
and say, well, yeah, they could have would have should
have won if the toe's inbounds. Well the toe was
not inbounds. And so that's that's where we are at
this point. So I disagree with Lamar Jackson. That's not
telling the full story. And the pillars of bad teams
are turning the ball over, making excuses for those turnovers,

(10:54):
not playing defense properly.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Those are the things bad teams do. That's why you
call them bad when they play like that. It is

And that's why we have a brand new podcast called

our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have

Speaker 4 (12:05):

Speaker 2 (12:46):
The great silent majority of listeners to the Ben Maler
Show sit on the sidelines, never having their opinions heard.
You're invited to break the glass ceiling by taking up
gigabytes with the Ben Maller Show. Just follow your host
on x He's at Ben Mallar and you can post
at and follow our executive producer. He is manning the phones,
but he's more than just a call screener. He is

(13:07):
the Liar, liar and the menace of the Fox Sports
Radio networkets the Coop the Loop Justin Cooper, and he's
at u H. Bronco Fan. Hey a Bronco fan, and
I'll lie from the tyrack dot com. Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Maller.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Late Night Drug tester, right, and he says, gonna be
fun to see which fan base starts jumping ship after
they lose a Sunday Ravens or Cowboys. Also is Tom
Brady calling all seventeen Cowboy games? This will be his
third broadcast, and he's done every Dallas Cowboy game, every

(13:46):
Dallas Cowboy game. And the answer is, let's look at
the Cowboys schedule. He'll do the old Mike Francesa radio
bit where you look at the schedule and say, all right,
where that is Brady? So the Cowboys when they're on Fox,
uh than Brady does the games right, But they're not
going to be on Fox the next couple of weeks.
They have primetime games after this. Oh boy, how about

(14:08):
this one? This is exciting. I believe the Cowboys play
on Thursday. They play the Giants. Cowboys and Giants on
primetime a week from today. A week from today, that's
the next week's primetime game. Boy, that's a turd burger.
Steelers and Cowboys. That game will be on primetime also
the following Sunday nights, so that will not be on Fox.

(14:30):
But then after that Brady will be back In Week six,
the Cowboys play the Lions. It's a matchup of teams
that have gotten a lot of hype. So you gotta
think that Brady's doing that. I don't know that he's
going to do week seven because they have a bye week,
but maybe he'll follow Dak Prescott to the Bahamas and
give reports on how Dak is enjoying the sun and

(14:52):
the cocktails and all that. Yeah. Sure, let's go to
the phones and let's see you do we have. Let's
sail to Sir scratch Off, who is in the highways
and byways of Arkansas. We think, hello, Sir scratch Off.

Speaker 6 (15:06):
Hey going, what's going on there? Big being?

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Well? I was just talking to the rainer before the
show and Coop, we were so excited. We're looking forward
to you sending us all to Arkansas for the Malla
Meet and grit. It's gonna be a lot of fun
there and the Heart Foundation Jimmy Hart's going to be there. Correct, Yes, sir,
I can't wait. When's that happening? Do we have it?

Man Show in twenty twenty five, well, we still have
some time here in the years. Not quite over yet,

New Year's So we got we got major holidays coming
up here.

Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yeah, we uh you know what to tell you something?
I posted something yesterday, my first which I got banned
for like six days now because I was cutting that
old carry Taylor Swift. But I posted a thing about uh,
Dwight Howard doing this dancing the Stars, this saying hit
six point something k wile ago. Everybody's been watching the

(16:08):
video him dancing, and I'm will tell you something, he
too bad man. But I posted all this picture of
the video of him dancing, and I'll tell you what.
Right now, people really owning him watching the watch him dance,
you know, a dancing stars he's this year.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Well, I gotta say for everyone listening, every man, woman
and child listening to the show, that this is the
content that we wanted. We wanted to hear about your
breakdown of a washed up former NBA player dancing on
a reality show. Yet again, you are proving why you
were on the pulse of the Mallard militia. You are

(16:42):
right there, so scratch off. You know exactly what the
consumer wants, discerning customer, and hopefully we can wake everyone
up because I think they're all suffering from narcolepsy after this.

Speaker 6 (16:57):
That's my biggest post by some six six K. That's
pretty good deal, man, But you don't. But anyway, man,
what's going on right now with our freaking Rams? I
mean two games in a row. I had to hear
my two brothers go all the way.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, well, they're in a They're in a deep dark
place right now. It's Murphy's law. Anything that can go
wrong has gone wrong for the Rams. They don't have
their their big Cahunas. They're not there. They don't have
Pooka the cool, they don't have a Cooper Cup, and
they got the team they always struggle against the forty
nine ers.

Speaker 6 (17:37):
I want to whoop on TV up? Man, I mean, like,
you know, I don't.

don't like to wait line for nothing. You know what
I'm saying.

you gotta wait in line, but you you know, typically
you don't have to wait in line. He's just like,
you buy the thing online or whatever. You're probab so
old school. You do layaway? Still you do layaway? Is
that your move?

Speaker 6 (18:03):
I really don't, man, I don't do a lot. I
do something it's gonna make an investment. I'm facing to
make a big investment here next year, But I don't
buy a lot of crap. Man. I like to have
my money for stuff it's gonna make money off of it.
I ain't gonna buy no stuff, but I'm buying me
a call next year. That's gonna make some money, but
I'm gonna hold onto it for a little while.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
Not?

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Like that was his reaction because I called him out
on it, and then he said something that I think
we should be allowed to say, but we're not allowed
to say.

Speaker 7 (18:51):
Ben.

Speaker 1 (18:53):

think of you.

Hello Poppy in San Diego, Diego.

Speaker 9 (20:16):
You know the Padres beat, the ash or CD.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Now, oh my god, I'm gonna have a headache by
the time this is done here.

Speaker 9 (20:23):
And you know what was really good, Ben, matter it
give it away Bobblehead Day today. I don't know if
you know who guys did that. They were giving away
of Bernando another thing.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I was hoping to have content Fernando to tease Bobblehead. Yeah,
that is great. I wanted to get that on the show.
We're check that box. We're checking a lot of boxes here.
You got Dwight Howard dancing, and we had Sir scratch
Off cursing. Now we've got Poppy talking about the bobblehead.
That's that's wonderful.

Speaker 9 (20:52):
Well, yeah, it's wonderful because I know you hate, you know,
the Asholds so much. You should be very happy that
the padre is.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
You know, now, did that I got a question, did
that bobble did you get? Did you get a bobblehead?

Speaker 9 (21:05):
Let me tell you something I got invited to this.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
No, there's a simple yes no question. Did you get
one of the bobbleheads.

Speaker 9 (21:11):
Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna answer that question.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Just yes or no. I don't need a story, just
yes or no. Well no, okay, you did not. That's
a that's a no, all right, because they you know,
the Dodgers, and nobody else has this story. By the ways,
our show's the only one that has a story. So
the Dodgers when they gave away the Otani bobbleheads, you know,
they they every like one out of a thousand or
whatever was a golden bobblehead, right yeah, yeah, yeah, because

(21:39):
like the golden ones were more. Well, I heard a rumor.
I think this is true, you know, maybe not, but
the padres every thousands, Fernando to tist bobblehead. You actually
got some ring worm medication that was with it. So
you got a little ring worm medication with the bobblehead.
It was a really nice touch, like just a little
bobble little bottle, like a small sampler bottle of ringworm

(21:59):
medical case.

Speaker 9 (22:01):
Well that's what I'm glad. I didn't go because I
was get free tickets. I was supposed to get free
tickets like you been man, and at the end they
told me no, no, and I didn't get.

Speaker 10 (22:10):
My free No.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
I don't get free tickets anymore.

Speaker 9 (22:12):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I don't do anymore. I haven't got free tickets in years.
I'd be honest with you. I have not whoa I was.

Speaker 9 (22:17):
I learned from you mentored don't go through the projects game.
And I said free tickets, and I didn't get free tickets,
so I did not go support the padret So.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Okay, that's good. That's what I did. Dodgers wanted. Dodgers
don't take care of me. I don't take care of them,
so screw that.

you steal ramen? It's so cheap? I'm gonna go with
I'm gonna go with fruit.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Okay, fruit, I have fruits eating all over the world.
It's it's not fruit. It's not chicken nuggets, which is
a great answer. I'm really good at that. Man, Is
that good? And not beer? It is cheese, cheese, cheese.

Speaker 7 (25:45):
No, that's a that's a good one because like some
of those cheeses can be pretty expensive, and and they're
you know, they're individually wrapped and it's just easy to
put right into like a jacket pocket.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Plants.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Sounds like you might have might not have done that back.

Speaker 7 (25:59):
No, I'm just saying I can understand. That's why I
said fruit because I was like, you know, you're walking
in the fruit section. It's really easy to pick up
a lime and just stick it in your pocket.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yeah, that was my thing with grapes.

Speaker 8 (26:10):
You take a whole bag.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Pocket.

Speaker 7 (26:13):
Are you putting grapes?

Speaker 1 (26:14):
You went chicken nuggets? I took it back when I guessed.

Speaker 8 (26:19):
Listen, so when you have grapes in your cart, what
do you do? You walk around the store and you
munch on the grapes. So what do you really eat
the most grapes?

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Thank you for including the lipsmacking part of that.

Speaker 7 (26:31):
It's a shoplifted not eat before you get to the
cash track.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Didn't you say one time when you were a kid,
you'd eat like grapes of stuff in the grocery store.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Was that you peanuts?

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Peanuts?

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah? I ate peanuts. When my mom would stop eating
the peanuts, I'm hungry. I want the peanuts, the big
thing of peanuts, I'd eat them.

Speaker 7 (26:49):
I accidentally stole gum one time when I was a kid.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
How do you accidentally steal gums?

Speaker 1 (26:53):
We'll see.

Speaker 7 (26:53):
Okay, this is how it happened. I asked my mom.
I was like, Mom, can I have this gum? It
was the It was the one that's kind of like
fruit by the foot, but it's gum. It's like rolled
up bubble take bubble tape.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, yeah, I remember that gum.

Speaker 7 (27:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
And I was like, can I have this?

Speaker 7 (27:09):
And She's like no, And I was like, okay, well,
I'm gonna wait till we're done shopping and I'm gonna
ask her again. And so I put it in my
pocket and then I forgot about it completely until I
got home and I reached my pocket and there's the gum.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
And I cried. I was like, oh my god, I
am a criminal. Well, Coop, good news. Now no one's crying.
They have a party when you take something. These days
literal we are cake and balloons. Oh you stole a
good job, Johnny, you stole something from the from a Walmart?
Wait to go then alive anyway. Bonus fun fact, bonus

(27:44):
fun fact, bonus fun fact, bonus fun fact. All right,
last the bonus fun fact. This is also mouth fun fact.
Alf points out the world's first cat video was credited
to Thomas Edison showed that's boxing inside a tiny ring.
The twenty second video was filmed in eighteen ninety four,

(28:06):
according to ALF, which makes cat cat videos older than cheeseburgers.
So cat videos are older than cheeseburgers. Let's say hello
to Spaccoli. I'm gonna have him jump the line, so
hopefully he doesn't make me regret him jumping the line.
Hello to Spacoli. What's going on, Spaccoli?

Speaker 10 (28:26):
Not too much. I am heading back to North Carolina
and steaming across New Mexico right now, headed towards Elbuquerque, the.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Land of Enchantment.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Are you going to stop by Roswell and check out
the goblins in Roswell?

Speaker 6 (28:46):
That wouldn't be a bad idea, but I do. I
am right now.

Speaker 10 (28:50):
I'm fighting the urge to stop at a truck stop
and get a you know, a big quarter pound beef
dog with you know, nacho cheese, ketchup and mustard. And
I think I'm going to lose that battle.

Speaker 8 (29:02):
So that sounds like a stomach ache.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
No, that sounds when you're that's road trip food. That's
what you've got it. If you're driving across the country,
you gotta One of the greatest meals I've ever had
was at a truck stop between California and Arizona. I
don't know what they put. What did you have, ben
like a chicken sandwich, but it was amazing.

Speaker 8 (29:19):
It wasn't a hot dog with nacho cheese, ketchup and mustard. Okay, well,
let's just go back to that.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Well, this guy's a hearty. He's from Wisconsin even though
he lives in North.

Speaker 10 (29:29):
Yeah. You just can't mess with that that chili though
that they have in there, because they got the two
buttons on that little machine, and if you push that
chili button, you get like that processed chili out of
that little machine.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
You pressed the button though, right, and it goes like
it literally spits it out like that. Bro, it's crazy.

Speaker 10 (29:52):
You can't do the chili. But in all series is not.
I probably will stop at the Outsider's House in Falsa
because they they turned it into a museum and so
I'll be no.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
But what about going down to Texas and getting the BUCkies.

Speaker 10 (30:07):
You're doing that, well, I'll be going through Amarillo, So
I don't know if there's a BUCkies are near there,
but if there is one, I will definitely be hitting.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, you got to get the barbecue brisket sandwich from Buckies'.

Speaker 10 (30:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, Beaver.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
And then with my trip to Pittsburgh, I didn't know
if maybe BUCkies were in the area. The first I.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Think the Furthest North is in Florence, South Carolina. I
think I.

Speaker 10 (30:37):
Believe, Uh well, they're they're about to build one near
me in North Carolina and near Chapel Hill, and they're
building they're building one in in Wisconsin. Actually it's uh well.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Actually there's one Spaccoli. They're building one in Arizona, of
all places, next year. So yeah, Arizona.

Speaker 10 (30:54):
I think they're going to expand to pretty much every
state at this point because people just go crazy.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
I sure hope.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
So.

Speaker 10 (31:00):
But the thing is that you go in there, man,
and it's it's a ret race. I mean, it's like
ants coming out of a you know, going to a
popsicle stick.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
I mean it's like, there's.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
There's nice analogy.

Speaker 9 (31:12):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
That is a good analogy.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Next location scheduled to be built in Louisiana in twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah, well that's that Southern Corridors.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
So that's where they are most spread around their BUCkies.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Come on, all right, thank you. Be safe out there
in the middle of New Mexico. A lot going on
there in New Mexico, a lot of activity on the road.

Speaker 10 (31:31):
Yes, sure, yes, yes, sir. Looking forward to a dick
call tonight.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Okay, we hope, we hope we get to We want
to give you the dick, so hopefully he'll call in there.
All right. Anyway, it is the Ben Mallard Show. Great
dicking dayton of course. Here's the Insta trivia. This weekend,
rock hard this weekend. Viking linebacker Pat Jones. We're not
sure who that is, but apparently plays with the Vikings.

(31:56):
Viking linebacker Pat Jones can become the third player since
nineteen eighty two, when the sack became an official statistic,
to record two sacks in each of his team's first
three games of a season. If he does that, he
would join Mark Gastinea of the famous Jets team in

(32:16):
the eighties. Nineteen eighty four, the sack exchange and blank.
That is the Insta trivia. The answer, We'll get to it.
We'll do it next.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
And here's your insta trivia, a attempt to get you
to listen a little bit longer this weekend. Viking linebacker
Pat Jones keeping up with the Joneses. I'm told that's
hollowing James' favorite player, Pat Jose. He's a linebacker. He
can become the third player since stacks Stats, or the
NFL kept track of the stats for sacks in nineteen

(33:24):
eighty two, to record two sacks in each of his
team's first three games of a season, joining Mark Gastino
of the Sack Exchange of the Jets in the eighties
and blank. That is the question. What is the answer.
Let's see does anyone know the answer? And g I
Joe guess by the Cowboy Killer, a real American hero.

(33:48):
Who else? Bob Bomhauer from og Art Puffin, John Hannibal
Smith from alf the Alien, Opiner, the A Team, Ken Rosen,
who is sixty two today from Late Night Drug Tester,
Bucky's Beaver Brigade from Milkman, Mike in Colorado, Nicholas Battoum

(34:12):
guessed by Shane in Des Moines. Gilbert Brown from King Rory.
That's his answer? Justin in Cincinnati went with his rapid
radio as the answer. All right, the correct answer, Eddie,
do you have an answer quickly?

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Number of the Purple People leader is Carl Eller.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
That's an old school name. That is incorrect, Eddie. The
correct answer would be none other than Hall of Famer.
I remember him as a ram but he did this
with the Carolina Panthers. Kevin Green in nineteen ninety eight
also played with your team.

Speaker 7 (34:44):
Twenty year old team Mallard.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
How about the Chargers third degree?

Speaker 3 (34:49):
This is one cool?

Speaker 1 (34:52):
What do we got here?

Speaker 9 (34:53):
Cool?

Speaker 7 (34:53):
There are nine teams that have started off the season
zero to two.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah, the Rams are one of those.

Speaker 7 (34:58):
Which of those nine teams do you think should feel
the least concerned?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah, so there's some of these teams are supposed to suck,
like the Giants and teams like that, so you don't
really consider them. You're Carolina, So I'm the teams that
shouldn't be concerned are Cincinnati and Baltimore because they have
quarterbacks who are supposed to be good, and they're in
a division with the Steelers who don't have a quarterback
and the Browns who have the creepy quarterback. So that's

(35:23):
her answer, right, and they get to play those teams
a bunch, and so that would be the answer.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
Next.

Speaker 7 (35:28):
On Tuesday, Bobby Wit Junior became the first short stop
in MLB history to have multiple thirty thirty seasons. Wit
still only has the second best doods for ALMVP, behind
Aaron Judge. Ben Do you think now that Judge isn't
on pace to hit sixty plus homers, that Witt has
a chance at winning the award?

Speaker 4 (35:45):
No?

Speaker 1 (35:45):
No, if I'm not mistaken, the Royals have been free
fall in free fall, and they might even be in
the playoffs depending on what happens the last couple of
weeks here. But Aaron Judge is about as close to
a lock as he can get. He's like ninety five
plus percent chance. He's the RBI Goblin. He's still leading
baseball on home runs, he checks all the boxes, plays
in New York. He's going to be the MVP next.

Speaker 7 (36:07):
It's being reported that the NBA is targeting the twenty
twenty seven to twenty eight season for expansion teams to
enter the league. Ben, do you think they'll hit that mark?

Speaker 9 (36:16):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (36:16):
And here's why, Coop, because they have had the blueprint
on this going back probably at least ten years. They're
going to put a team in Seattle, a team in Vegas.
They've got it all mapped out. They have a rough
idea of where the arenas are going to be. I
mean they've they've done the footwork on this, the boots
on the ground, so it will happen. How did we know?

Speaker 7 (36:37):
You passes that as they went off, I.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Run, James Halloween, James.

Speaker 7 (36:43):
