we move away from the Monday Night Football and we
go to the Shove or punch or attempted shove attempted
punch herd round the Football world. Follow up follow up
(03:01):
to a previous edition of the show. In the previous episode,
we talked about it. So we go to Park Avenue
now in Midtown Manhattan. The Justice League of Football has ruled.
If you have not heard yet, the NFL has brought
the hammer of Goodell down, down, down, down down on
(03:24):
Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf. DK not okay. He has
been suspended for not one, not one, but two two
games for his in game altercation with a blue wig wearing,
blue wig wearing Lions fan during the win in Detroit.
(03:49):
Uh yeah. The league rule that Metcalf's actions violated the
league policy of not attempting to punch customers who bought
a ticket. What a policy that is? Why don't they
do that on Broadway?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
You go see a Broadway show and they kick in
the face in the front row, and we'll do a lot.
We'll we'll kick our legs up in there and see
the rock Cats at Radio City. We're gonna have the
Rock cats kick the people in the front row. Why not? Anyway,
that's a good jumping off points. So let us discuss
The question for the esteem panel is as follows. Steelers
(04:28):
wide receiver DK Metcalf suspended for the two games without
pay for some kind of conduct detrimental to the NFL. Now,
when you first saw this or heard about it, what
did you think? That's the question. Keep it simple, it's
not that deep. It's overnight talk radio. So when you
first saw the dk Metcalf suspension for two games, what
(04:50):
did you think? So I've got pep Boys, Butterfingers, and
venture capital and we will combine all of these things
together and are going to put the biscuit in the basket,
is what we're going to do. So Number I said
number one. The lawyers have now entered the chat. The
(05:15):
lawyers have now entered the chat. So this is the
NFL being extra extra cautious is what this is. Bubble
wrapped knee brace cautious is what we're talking about here
from the NFL. Now, once both sides have lawyered up,
and that's where we are. Both sides have lawyer ed up.
You've got the attorney for the guy wearing the blue wig,
(05:41):
the Blue Man group. That guy. His attorney said the
matter will now likely be subject to formal legal proceedings. Well,
the League, of course saw that, and they heard about that,
and then DK's got his report, and so okay, the League,
(06:03):
they're like, oh, we got to do something about it.
What are we going to do? I don't know, Roger Goodell.
It's like, I gotta act like an insurance adjuster at
that point. I gotta limit liability. And so it's not
NFL anymore. It's like going down to Pep Boys and
you pull into the bay there and you say, all right,
can we install the blame air air bags. We'd like
to blame air bags. We want to rotate the tires there. Okay,
(06:25):
we'll rotate the tires. We want the full legal inspection
on how we can limit our liability. Okay, we got
you on that. No problem, two games, no pay, Boom
goes to dynamite. Boom goes to dynamite. That is preventative
maintenance by the NFL. Preventive maintenance by the NFL. Now
ambulance chasing lawyers. And I don't know how it is
in your time. We do the show from Los Angeles,
(06:46):
and there are more ambulance chasing billboards. For these lawyers
chasing chasing the insurance companies. It is next level, all right. Literally,
I count them on board. It's like some people count cheap.
I got a long drive home to the north Woods
and I count. I count the billboards, and it's it's wild.
They must make so much money. Think about how much
(07:07):
that's a small percentage they're spending on advertising. I love
they're spending on advertising, but it's a small percentage. Imagine
how much money they're making. It's wild. It's absolutely wild.
So you got these ambulance chasing lawyers who love this
kind of stuff. You got the slip and fall with
the Detroit Lions Steeler game, which was the big game
(07:28):
on CBS. You had Jim Nantz and Tony Romo. So
DK's got counseled both. Everyone's drawn a line in the
sand here. And once that happens, the NFL hits the button.
They press the button and they go to full shield defense,
protect the shield, and they're trying to not get posterized.
(07:49):
They don't want some kind of discovery, trying to avoid discovery, emails, texts,
security logs at the stadium. Suddenly it becomes a Netflix
true crime documentary. And have we seen the guy with
the blue wig? Is he wearing a neck brace?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Is he going my neck, my back, my neck in
my back? Is he doing that? No, one of the
great lines in cinema of all time. He isn't doing that?
All right? Well, anyway, So the NFL chose to be
proactive here and suspend wide receiver DK Metcalf. They will,
they wave wolf, they waive the accountability flag quietly assuming
that the appeal will knock down the suspension from two
(08:29):
games to one game. Metcalf's already appealed, so they're like,
all right, we'll get that down to one game. He'll
miss one game and then he'll be back. He's got
no priors, he's got a clean resume. And so this
isn't so much discipline, if you will, it's d C,
not DC comics. It's damage control, is what. The NFL
(08:50):
isn't angry, they're just nervous. They don't want to have
to pay out any money in some kind of settlement.
The guy will see because you don't just sue the stadium.
You don't just sue the Lions. If you're a good
ambulance chasing attorney. You sue the NFL, you go where
the money is, and you say, this is a big problem.
The NFL did not have proper security at the stadium
and the fan was allowed to run amok. And the
(09:12):
video of DK Metcalf coming down. Now, I did see
DK throw a useful idiot in the media. I believe
that was Ocho. Sinko did use the race bomb. He
used the race card from the bottom of the deck.
I'm a little skeptical if that's true, based on the
fact that he didn't use it right away, and that
is the ultimate get out at jail free card. You
would think if that happened that DK Metcalf would have
(09:34):
said that right away, or would have had Mike Tomlin
say that, or some pr hack for the Steelers would
have said, yeah, but yeah, DK might have taken a
shot at him, try to throw a little jab at him. Yeah,
but the guy said his mama was a big lard
ass or you know you call you said this and
then he used the N word or something. He didn't
(09:56):
say that he snuck out the back door, like Travis
Kelcey when the chief Louse, he snuck out the back door,
and so that leads me to leave. That's kind of like,
that's kind of bogus because you say that right away,
and you're like, oh, everyone runs to your defense and say, okay,
well yeah, you attack the guy whatever, But we know
he deserved it, and so there you go. All right. Now,
Page two money, money, money, It's all about the money.
(10:17):
It's all about the money. And so with this punishment,
DK Metcalf the two game suspension for violating the tenants
of the NFL rule book, It's going to cost him
five hundred and fifty five thousand dollars if the appeal
(10:38):
is not overturned. So imagine every two weeks you get
five hundred and fifty five thousand dollars. You'd probably show
up to work a lot, so five hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in salary. However, but wait, there's more. But
wait there's more. We are also told that because of
this violation, DK Metcalf has now voided with a capital V,
(10:59):
he has void forty million dollars in future guaranteed money.
So that's forty point five million if my malor math
is correct. That is an ouey gooey mess is what
that is? Wow? All right? So question DK Metcalf, Steeler
wide receiver losing forty million dollars in garanteed money is blank.
(11:24):
Fill in the blank. So my word is gad zukery
with a capital G. Gadzukery is my word here, Dk Metcalf.
The forty point five million dollars in guaranteed money. That's it.
This is a This is not a parking ticket. This
is a I spent too long parking in the loading zone. No,
(11:45):
this is not that. No, no, no, this is much more.
This is a generational fumble territory for DK Metcalf if
this works out. Now, you didn't just drop the football,
all right, You punted your wall it into the harbor somewhere,
is what you did. Like, what are we doing here?
And two games, five hundred and fifty five thousand, as
(12:05):
we said, and then wham the guaranteed money. The language
in the contract evaporates like beer foam at last call
for alcohol. This is butter fingers economics. Butter fingers economics.
The NFL contract is a bit of a mouse trap.
It's the standard verbiage in every NFL contract you touch
(12:27):
the cheese and snappity snap, it goes there, goes the
golden Goose. Now, the conduct violation by DK Metcalf, that
is the catch all guillotine. It's the garbage disposal of
the NFL High Crimes and misdemeanors. Territory is what it is,
(12:47):
and hurt feelings all wrapped up there and all that stuff,
and so you you had all that mixed together. Imagine
losing forty million dollars. Possibly this is the worst case scenario.
It's kind of like when somebody comes up kind of say, well,
you're facing up to up to fifteen years in jet. Well,
no one really gets the maximum sentence, so you're not
really facing that, but you're facing some time. You're facing
(13:10):
some time. So it's it's obviously financial malpractice if it
comes down to that. You don't read the fine prince
one of these things. You signed the DOCU, sign your
initial here, and you sign there, and then that's it
and you face planted into it is what it is here,
and so in theory, you could choke the golden goose. Now,
(13:31):
the good thing for DK Metcalf is he's really talented,
and typically if you're really talented, they kind of look
the other way, and they're like, no, we're not gonna
We're not gonna do Even though he could have choked
the Golden goose, he did not do that. And so
because of that, the damage will be limited and we'll
see what happens on the appeal. All right, now, final
(13:52):
point to Jacksonville. We go don't look now, but the
Juguars are the talk of the NFL. They're the it team.
Despite leaning into the fant that nobody thought we could
win and we suck and we're small market Jacksonville and
all that. Despite that, the Jaguars are playing pretty well
(14:14):
and that led to defensive end Tavon Walker, big first
round pick Travon Walker, who had a message for the
band wag nurs. The band wag nurse who are flushing.
They're running down to the train station. They're trying to
catch on the on the bandwagon. They'll jump on there.
True true, that's the Jags bandwagon. So his message is
(14:37):
two words, stay away, stay away, stay away, he said,
quote everyone gonna try to hop on this bandwagon. Travon
Walker said, everyone's gonna try to jump on the bandwagon. Now,
we don't want nobody stay where you're at? And then
he went and then he worked blue. He said if everyone,
(14:59):
but but then he apologies. He said, listen, excuse my language. Well,
when you'd say the F word, you say, exchoose my language. Okay,
all things are forgiven. So he said, excuse my language,
mom and dad and grandma. But then he said f
everybody but us? All right, close quote. So he he
said excuse my language to his mama, daddy, and grandma
(15:21):
and then used bad, bad language again. All right. Question,
how does Travon Walker's rant about keeping the bandwagon fans
far away from the Jaguars? How does that hit you?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
So?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Walker, I thought this is amusing.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I was.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I brought it up on the show, so I thought
it was interesting. A Walker out there acting like he's
the bouncer at the NFL Fan nightclub and it's like
kind of like a dive bar, the NFL Fan Nightclub,
and there's like sticky floors. You don't know what that is.
You hope it's just spilled alcohol, not something else that
could be sticky. And then you've got the broken jukebox.
(16:02):
You got that going on over there, and we don't
want nobody you just stuck behind the velvet ropes. You're
not coming in here, And of course the response to
that is hey buddy, by about a bat, Hey buddy,
this is not some kind of underground punk show. It's
the NFL, the world's biggest strip mall is what it
(16:23):
is here. And so winning means foot traffic, right, you
want the foot traffic. This means foot traffic. My word though,
for this, for the star defensive players Rovron Walker saying
we don't want any bandwagon fans, my word is it's
an o word. Obtuse. That is my word here. Obtuse
(16:45):
is the word because it is obtuse. It's silo thinking,
is what it is. It's for the those uneducated on
how the economics of all this work in the entertainment business. Now,
last I checked, the Jacksonville Jags are not let me
say not Apple. They are not Apple, they are not Microsoft.
It's a startup trying to pitch venture capital. Now they
(17:09):
want some venture capital with a PowerPoint that just says
trust us Bro. That's the Jaguars Monstra. Trust us Bro
is the mantra. So winning games has always been universally
accepted as a marketing plan. It just is you don't
dead bolt the door. You don't dead bolt the door
(17:31):
and not allow customers in when they finally show up.
And that's it. Every fan base, you know, every single
fan base was built on the back of the bandwagon.
The fumes of the bandwagon created every fambush. When I
was a kid, the teams that were really good most years,
the Cowboys, the Raiders, and the Dolphins, and those little kids,
(17:56):
and it's still this case, you know, nine to twelve
years old, those that still love sports as kids, you
jump onto a bandwagon between the ages of nine and
twelve whatever team's winning, because every kid wants to be
a winner, and you want to be a front runner
and all that stuff. So there you go, and then
you find yourself. You do that when you're like nine
or ten, and then you find yourself in your late forties,
and all of a sudden, you're still emotionally damaged because
(18:18):
you made a decision when you were nine or ten
years old, and you're buying throwback jerseys and all that stuff.
And so I had the Niners. I have a lot
of fans, and many of those fans are because forty
years ago and then in the nineteen eighties, they had
a guy named Joe Montana and it's spilding in the
nineties with Steve Young and they won a lot, and
so those people grew up and now they've got kids
(18:41):
and it's like a family thing and all that stuff.
That's the deal. So Travon Walker wants some kind of
purity test to be a Jacksonville fan, which is really cute.
Isn't that cute? That's cute, man. But this is not
a monastery. It's not. It's a business, and so if
you want growth in that business, it would be like us,
(19:03):
we only want now. It sounds like the only seven
people call the show because for some reason everyone's intimidated
unless we do a newbie night to call the show.
But we always want new people to come to our store.
Our stores open all night. We want people. You forgot something,
come down to the overnight audio shack and we're the
radio shack over here. We'll take care of it. But
(19:23):
you want growth, that's what you want in any business
in the NFL. You want the casuals. You need the casuals,
you need the low information fan you want the tourists,
you want the front runners, you need all of them,
all right. You want people breaking ankles, jumping on the bandwagon.
Is that's the goal, that's what you want. And this
rant hit me. It's like a guy standing in front
(19:47):
of the Walmart and if you don't live within three
blocks of the Walmart, do not come in. Well, no,
it's a big box store. They need people from all over.
So congratulations, Jacksonville's won a few games, they're feeling good
about themselves, and you're sabotaging the storefront. I would love
to have been a fly on the wall in the
(20:07):
marketing department for the Jaguars. So one of your top
defensive players is telling people who don't really like the
team not to support the team. Okay, really, but that's
that's like winning is a secret society. It's like the
Cross and the you know, sculling bones and all. It's
a secret society. It's a billboard. It is a billboard,
(20:28):
is what it is. All Right's Ben Maler Show. We've

(24:00):
do when you take an eed dog phone call. All right,
we do have some questions for ask a weed man,
so that's good. I'll get to that here in a minute.
You guys are such dick and Dayton's your question monkey biz,
(24:22):
Doug says from Douvall he is, and even though he's
living in parts unknown, he says, I've been a Jags
fan since day one, and I agree with you all
agree with travon Walker. Eh Nah, you gotta have new
people come on board. Mark. I remember when the Clippers
became great with Lob City, you know, and us old
school Clipper fans were like, okay, let's so fine. We
(24:44):
don't like it, but we'll welcome you in. Mark the
Walker in Rochester. I haven't heard from him in a
long time. Hope he's doing all right. Mark the Walker's
out walking around, He says the knucklehead and the blue
wig asked aloud why Aaron Rodgers helmet was so much
larger than DK's. No strat Denis from the Pacific Northwest, says,
Seahawks fans are all laughing because d K was a
(25:07):
habitual hothead and we unloaded him for a stud draft
pick and are a better team without him. That's no
strit Denis. No striddenis coming up with that for us.
Let me tell you about No Streuthenas. Now. He's been
with the show a long time and we love him
very nice. I put up with his wife because she's
(25:27):
a vegan. She showed up to the meet and greet
we did in Vegas. But no Stredenis. When Gino Smith
was playing quarterback for the Seahawks, literally had knee pads
with Gino Smith's face on it. When DK Metcalf would
act up in Seattle, he said, Ben, don't be mean
to DK. Don't don't do that. I have a fat
head of DK Metcalf on my wall. And so that
(25:50):
was how that went. And so yeah, that's that's that now.
Super Marcus Seeh says, I don't understand these athletes who
claim that the haters fuel their game, yet get mad
when the haters say something that makes them too mad.
It's psycho babble, is what it is now. Super Marcus
Steve also says, I think you should stop referring to
metcalf as d Kay, he says, and call him by
(26:13):
his government name, Decaryous. From now on, I'm going to
be doing that in my personal life. Did you see

or genre of music?
Speaker 6 (33:56):
And then I'll listen offline.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Okay, I like that you did the nerd laugh at
the end of that Beavis and butt Head style there,
Thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Yeah, I like rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
What does that mean though? What does rock and roll
mean to you, Bob Seger? Because those were big when
you were in your twenties and stuff? Right, yeah, absolutely,
I gotcha. I understand. All right, very nice. Let's go
to Scott better known as Blind Scott in Boston, who's
very jealous weed Man that you have this segment and
he's hurt that you have this segment. He feels like
he should have this segment. He's offended by this.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
Yeah, and I'm the best feller on the show, and
I always go after Andrew and Bakersfield, which is fine,
he's an upcoming star. I don't like it how you
laughed at Sylvester salone and you found joy and weed
Man beating Sylvester salone. I don't like it how that happened.
And I don't like it how you said you loved
weed Man like a month ago and he's a favorite.
That made me jealous. I'm weed Man. I have a
question for you. So I've managed to track my dad's
(34:52):
location everywhere he goes, now, you know what I mean.
So he's sleeping right now, so he's not okay. So
when he wakes up around seven am, he drives over
to like the YMCA camp and he walks around and everything,
and I don't know what he's going over there. But
you think this is morally wrong. We haven't talked in
seven years, you know, but following his every move in life,
(35:14):
how come why don't you go? Because I can't stand
the guy because we we're a lot alike. We just
don't get alive because we just can't come to agree
to disagree, and there's stances we've taken that's not going
to be resolved, you know. But I wish you'd give
me some money. And I'm tracking. I can listen to
(35:35):
my sports.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Right, so we man you You you've said, hey, you
and your dad just disagree on a lot of stuff
about life, whether it's politics or stuff like that, and
yet you'd like him to cut you a big check.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
Yeah, they to give him the money. I told him
I was prostituting myself for money and I need the money.
And that's still And he wished me a happy birthday.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Well that's nice of him to wish your happy birthday. Yeah, yeah,
you get your dad's getting older, Scott, you got you
know he sounds just like it too. He's been on
the show before you got.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
To you know, he just turned seventy. To listen to
the calls, he's not listen now. I could tell if
you get something.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
I feel like there's no question there, Scott.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I feel like there's really but I need to talk
to Is he dog there?
Speaker 1 (36:20):
No, he's not online, so no, I no, he dog there?

(00:21):
for conduct detrimental to the league and all that mumbo
jumbo because he threw a shove or a punch at
a Lions fan wearing a blue wig. When you first
saw this, what did you think? Also, DK Metcalf in

we move away from the Monday Night Football and we
go to the Shove or punch or attempted shove attempted
punch herd round the Football world. Follow up follow up
(03:01):
to a previous edition of the show. In the previous episode,
we talked about it. So we go to Park Avenue
now in Midtown Manhattan. The Justice League of Football has ruled.
If you have not heard yet, the NFL has brought
the hammer of Goodell down, down, down, down down on
(03:24):
Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf. DK not okay. He has
been suspended for not one, not one, but two two
games for his in game altercation with a blue wig wearing,
blue wig wearing Lions fan during the win in Detroit.
(03:49):
Uh yeah. The league rule that Metcalf's actions violated the
league policy of not attempting to punch customers who bought
a ticket. What a policy that is? Why don't they
do that on Broadway?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
You go see a Broadway show and they kick in
the face in the front row, and we'll do a lot.
We'll we'll kick our legs up in there and see
the rock Cats at Radio City. We're gonna have the
Rock cats kick the people in the front row. Why not? Anyway,
that's a good jumping off points. So let us discuss
The question for the esteem panel is as follows. Steelers
(04:28):
wide receiver DK Metcalf suspended for the two games without
pay for some kind of conduct detrimental to the NFL. Now,
when you first saw this or heard about it, what
did you think? That's the question. Keep it simple, it's
not that deep. It's overnight talk radio. So when you
first saw the dk Metcalf suspension for two games, what
(04:50):
did you think? So I've got pep Boys, Butterfingers, and
venture capital and we will combine all of these things
together and are going to put the biscuit in the basket,
is what we're going to do. So Number I said
number one. The lawyers have now entered the chat. The
(05:15):
lawyers have now entered the chat. So this is the
NFL being extra extra cautious is what this is. Bubble
wrapped knee brace cautious is what we're talking about here
from the NFL. Now, once both sides have lawyered up,
and that's where we are. Both sides have lawyer ed up.
You've got the attorney for the guy wearing the blue wig,
(05:41):
the Blue Man group. That guy. His attorney said the
matter will now likely be subject to formal legal proceedings. Well,
the League, of course saw that, and they heard about that,
and then DK's got his report, and so okay, the League,
(06:03):
they're like, oh, we got to do something about it.
What are we going to do? I don't know, Roger Goodell.
It's like, I gotta act like an insurance adjuster at
that point. I gotta limit liability. And so it's not
NFL anymore. It's like going down to Pep Boys and
you pull into the bay there and you say, all right,
can we install the blame air air bags. We'd like
to blame air bags. We want to rotate the tires there. Okay,
(06:25):
we'll rotate the tires. We want the full legal inspection
on how we can limit our liability. Okay, we got
you on that. No problem, two games, no pay, Boom
goes to dynamite. Boom goes to dynamite. That is preventative
maintenance by the NFL. Preventive maintenance by the NFL. Now
ambulance chasing lawyers. And I don't know how it is
in your time. We do the show from Los Angeles,
(06:46):
and there are more ambulance chasing billboards. For these lawyers
chasing chasing the insurance companies. It is next level, all right. Literally,
I count them on board. It's like some people count cheap.
I got a long drive home to the north Woods
and I count. I count the billboards, and it's it's wild.
They must make so much money. Think about how much
(07:07):
that's a small percentage they're spending on advertising. I love
they're spending on advertising, but it's a small percentage. Imagine
how much money they're making. It's wild. It's absolutely wild.
So you got these ambulance chasing lawyers who love this
kind of stuff. You got the slip and fall with
the Detroit Lions Steeler game, which was the big game
(07:28):
on CBS. You had Jim Nantz and Tony Romo. So
DK's got counseled both. Everyone's drawn a line in the
sand here. And once that happens, the NFL hits the button.
They press the button and they go to full shield defense,
protect the shield, and they're trying to not get posterized.
(07:49):
They don't want some kind of discovery, trying to avoid discovery, emails, texts,
security logs at the stadium. Suddenly it becomes a Netflix
true crime documentary. And have we seen the guy with
the blue wig? Is he wearing a neck brace?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Is he going my neck, my back, my neck in
my back? Is he doing that? No, one of the
great lines in cinema of all time. He isn't doing that?
All right? Well, anyway, So the NFL chose to be
proactive here and suspend wide receiver DK Metcalf. They will,
they wave wolf, they waive the accountability flag quietly assuming
that the appeal will knock down the suspension from two
(08:29):
games to one game. Metcalf's already appealed, so they're like,
all right, we'll get that down to one game. He'll
miss one game and then he'll be back. He's got
no priors, he's got a clean resume. And so this
isn't so much discipline, if you will, it's d C,
not DC comics. It's damage control, is what. The NFL
(08:50):
isn't angry, they're just nervous. They don't want to have
to pay out any money in some kind of settlement.
The guy will see because you don't just sue the stadium.
You don't just sue the Lions. If you're a good
ambulance chasing attorney. You sue the NFL, you go where
the money is, and you say, this is a big problem.
The NFL did not have proper security at the stadium
and the fan was allowed to run amok. And the
(09:12):
video of DK Metcalf coming down. Now, I did see
DK throw a useful idiot in the media. I believe
that was Ocho. Sinko did use the race bomb. He
used the race card from the bottom of the deck.
I'm a little skeptical if that's true, based on the
fact that he didn't use it right away, and that
is the ultimate get out at jail free card. You
would think if that happened that DK Metcalf would have
(09:34):
said that right away, or would have had Mike Tomlin
say that, or some pr hack for the Steelers would
have said, yeah, but yeah, DK might have taken a
shot at him, try to throw a little jab at him. Yeah,
but the guy said his mama was a big lard
ass or you know you call you said this and
then he used the N word or something. He didn't
(09:56):
say that he snuck out the back door, like Travis
Kelcey when the chief Louse, he snuck out the back door,
and so that leads me to leave. That's kind of like,
that's kind of bogus because you say that right away,
and you're like, oh, everyone runs to your defense and say, okay,
well yeah, you attack the guy whatever, But we know
he deserved it, and so there you go. All right. Now,
Page two money, money, money, It's all about the money.
(10:17):
It's all about the money. And so with this punishment,
DK Metcalf the two game suspension for violating the tenants
of the NFL rule book, It's going to cost him
five hundred and fifty five thousand dollars if the appeal
(10:38):
is not overturned. So imagine every two weeks you get
five hundred and fifty five thousand dollars. You'd probably show
up to work a lot, so five hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in salary. However, but wait, there's more. But
wait there's more. We are also told that because of
this violation, DK Metcalf has now voided with a capital V,
(10:59):
he has void forty million dollars in future guaranteed money.
So that's forty point five million if my malor math
is correct. That is an ouey gooey mess is what
that is? Wow? All right? So question DK Metcalf, Steeler
wide receiver losing forty million dollars in garanteed money is blank.
(11:24):
Fill in the blank. So my word is gad zukery
with a capital G. Gadzukery is my word here, Dk Metcalf.
The forty point five million dollars in guaranteed money. That's it.
This is a This is not a parking ticket. This
is a I spent too long parking in the loading zone. No,
(11:45):
this is not that. No, no, no, this is much more.
This is a generational fumble territory for DK Metcalf if
this works out. Now, you didn't just drop the football,
all right, You punted your wall it into the harbor somewhere,
is what you did. Like, what are we doing here?
And two games, five hundred and fifty five thousand, as
(12:05):
we said, and then wham the guaranteed money. The language
in the contract evaporates like beer foam at last call
for alcohol. This is butter fingers economics. Butter fingers economics.
The NFL contract is a bit of a mouse trap.
It's the standard verbiage in every NFL contract you touch
(12:27):
the cheese and snappity snap, it goes there, goes the
golden Goose. Now, the conduct violation by DK Metcalf, that
is the catch all guillotine. It's the garbage disposal of
the NFL High Crimes and misdemeanors. Territory is what it is,
(12:47):
and hurt feelings all wrapped up there and all that stuff,
and so you you had all that mixed together. Imagine
losing forty million dollars. Possibly this is the worst case scenario.
It's kind of like when somebody comes up kind of say, well,
you're facing up to up to fifteen years in jet. Well,
no one really gets the maximum sentence, so you're not
really facing that, but you're facing some time. You're facing
(13:10):
some time. So it's it's obviously financial malpractice if it
comes down to that. You don't read the fine prince
one of these things. You signed the DOCU, sign your
initial here, and you sign there, and then that's it
and you face planted into it is what it is here,
and so in theory, you could choke the golden goose. Now,
(13:31):
the good thing for DK Metcalf is he's really talented,
and typically if you're really talented, they kind of look
the other way, and they're like, no, we're not gonna
We're not gonna do Even though he could have choked
the Golden goose, he did not do that. And so
because of that, the damage will be limited and we'll
see what happens on the appeal. All right, now, final
(13:52):
point to Jacksonville. We go don't look now, but the
Juguars are the talk of the NFL. They're the it team.
Despite leaning into the fant that nobody thought we could
win and we suck and we're small market Jacksonville and
all that. Despite that, the Jaguars are playing pretty well
(14:14):
and that led to defensive end Tavon Walker, big first
round pick Travon Walker, who had a message for the
band wag nurs. The band wag nurse who are flushing.
They're running down to the train station. They're trying to
catch on the on the bandwagon. They'll jump on there.
True true, that's the Jags bandwagon. So his message is
(14:37):
two words, stay away, stay away, stay away, he said,
quote everyone gonna try to hop on this bandwagon. Travon
Walker said, everyone's gonna try to jump on the bandwagon. Now,
we don't want nobody stay where you're at? And then
he went and then he worked blue. He said if everyone,
(14:59):
but but then he apologies. He said, listen, excuse my language. Well,
when you'd say the F word, you say, exchoose my language. Okay,
all things are forgiven. So he said, excuse my language,
mom and dad and grandma. But then he said f
everybody but us? All right, close quote. So he he
said excuse my language to his mama, daddy, and grandma
(15:21):
and then used bad, bad language again. All right. Question,
how does Travon Walker's rant about keeping the bandwagon fans
far away from the Jaguars? How does that hit you?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
So?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Walker, I thought this is amusing.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I was.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I brought it up on the show, so I thought
it was interesting. A Walker out there acting like he's
the bouncer at the NFL Fan nightclub and it's like
kind of like a dive bar, the NFL Fan Nightclub,
and there's like sticky floors. You don't know what that is.
You hope it's just spilled alcohol, not something else that
could be sticky. And then you've got the broken jukebox.
(16:02):
You got that going on over there, and we don't
want nobody you just stuck behind the velvet ropes. You're
not coming in here, And of course the response to
that is hey buddy, by about a bat, Hey buddy,
this is not some kind of underground punk show. It's
the NFL, the world's biggest strip mall is what it
(16:23):
is here. And so winning means foot traffic, right, you
want the foot traffic. This means foot traffic. My word though,
for this, for the star defensive players Rovron Walker saying
we don't want any bandwagon fans, my word is it's
an o word. Obtuse. That is my word here. Obtuse
(16:45):
is the word because it is obtuse. It's silo thinking,
is what it is. It's for the those uneducated on
how the economics of all this work in the entertainment business. Now,
last I checked, the Jacksonville Jags are not let me
say not Apple. They are not Apple, they are not Microsoft.
It's a startup trying to pitch venture capital. Now they
(17:09):
want some venture capital with a PowerPoint that just says
trust us Bro. That's the Jaguars Monstra. Trust us Bro
is the mantra. So winning games has always been universally
accepted as a marketing plan. It just is you don't
dead bolt the door. You don't dead bolt the door
(17:31):
and not allow customers in when they finally show up.
And that's it. Every fan base, you know, every single
fan base was built on the back of the bandwagon.
The fumes of the bandwagon created every fambush. When I
was a kid, the teams that were really good most years,
the Cowboys, the Raiders, and the Dolphins, and those little kids,
(17:56):
and it's still this case, you know, nine to twelve
years old, those that still love sports as kids, you
jump onto a bandwagon between the ages of nine and
twelve whatever team's winning, because every kid wants to be
a winner, and you want to be a front runner
and all that stuff. So there you go, and then
you find yourself. You do that when you're like nine
or ten, and then you find yourself in your late forties,
and all of a sudden, you're still emotionally damaged because
(18:18):
you made a decision when you were nine or ten
years old, and you're buying throwback jerseys and all that stuff.
And so I had the Niners. I have a lot
of fans, and many of those fans are because forty
years ago and then in the nineteen eighties, they had
a guy named Joe Montana and it's spilding in the
nineties with Steve Young and they won a lot, and
so those people grew up and now they've got kids
(18:41):
and it's like a family thing and all that stuff.
That's the deal. So Travon Walker wants some kind of
purity test to be a Jacksonville fan, which is really cute.
Isn't that cute? That's cute, man. But this is not
a monastery. It's not. It's a business, and so if
you want growth in that business, it would be like us,
(19:03):
we only want now. It sounds like the only seven
people call the show because for some reason everyone's intimidated
unless we do a newbie night to call the show.
But we always want new people to come to our store.
Our stores open all night. We want people. You forgot something,
come down to the overnight audio shack and we're the
radio shack over here. We'll take care of it. But
(19:23):
you want growth, that's what you want in any business
in the NFL. You want the casuals. You need the casuals,
you need the low information fan you want the tourists,
you want the front runners, you need all of them,
all right. You want people breaking ankles, jumping on the bandwagon.
Is that's the goal, that's what you want. And this
rant hit me. It's like a guy standing in front
(19:47):
of the Walmart and if you don't live within three
blocks of the Walmart, do not come in. Well, no,
it's a big box store. They need people from all over.
So congratulations, Jacksonville's won a few games, they're feeling good
about themselves, and you're sabotaging the storefront. I would love
to have been a fly on the wall in the
(20:07):
marketing department for the Jaguars. So one of your top
defensive players is telling people who don't really like the
team not to support the team. Okay, really, but that's
that's like winning is a secret society. It's like the
Cross and the you know, sculling bones and all. It's
a secret society. It's a billboard. It is a billboard,
(20:28):
is what it is. All Right's Ben Maler Show. We've

a weed man coming up here in a mall mee

off point, it reminds me of what I want to
(24:00):
do when you take an eed dog phone call. All right,
we do have some questions for ask a weed man,
so that's good. I'll get to that here in a minute.
You guys are such dick and Dayton's your question monkey biz,
(24:22):
Doug says from Douvall he is, and even though he's
living in parts unknown, he says, I've been a Jags
fan since day one, and I agree with you all
agree with travon Walker. Eh Nah, you gotta have new
people come on board. Mark. I remember when the Clippers
became great with Lob City, you know, and us old
school Clipper fans were like, okay, let's so fine. We
(24:44):
don't like it, but we'll welcome you in. Mark the
Walker in Rochester. I haven't heard from him in a
long time. Hope he's doing all right. Mark the Walker's
out walking around, He says the knucklehead and the blue
wig asked aloud why Aaron Rodgers helmet was so much
larger than DK's. No strat Denis from the Pacific Northwest, says,
Seahawks fans are all laughing because d K was a
(25:07):
habitual hothead and we unloaded him for a stud draft
pick and are a better team without him. That's no
strit Denis. No striddenis coming up with that for us.
Let me tell you about No Streuthenas. Now. He's been
with the show a long time and we love him
very nice. I put up with his wife because she's
(25:27):
a vegan. She showed up to the meet and greet
we did in Vegas. But no Stredenis. When Gino Smith
was playing quarterback for the Seahawks, literally had knee pads
with Gino Smith's face on it. When DK Metcalf would
act up in Seattle, he said, Ben, don't be mean
to DK. Don't don't do that. I have a fat
head of DK Metcalf on my wall. And so that
(25:50):
was how that went. And so yeah, that's that's that now.
Super Marcus Seeh says, I don't understand these athletes who
claim that the haters fuel their game, yet get mad
when the haters say something that makes them too mad.
It's psycho babble, is what it is now. Super Marcus
Steve also says, I think you should stop referring to
metcalf as d Kay, he says, and call him by
(26:13):
his government name, Decaryous. From now on, I'm going to
be doing that in my personal life. Did you see
the carrious shove that guy with the blue wig? Hey?

I always go after Andrew and Bakersfield, which is fine,
he's an upcoming star. I don't like it how you
laughed at Sylvester salone and you found joy and weed
Man beating Sylvester salone. I don't like it how that happened.
And I don't like it how you said you loved
weed Man like a month ago and he's a favorite.
That made me jealous. I'm weed Man. I have a
question for you. So I've managed to track my dad's

location everywhere he goes, now, you know what I mean.
So he's sleeping right now, so he's not okay. So
when he wakes up around seven am, he drives over
to like the YMCA camp and he walks around and everything,
and I don't know what he's going over there. But
you think this is morally wrong. We haven't talked in
seven years, you know, but following his every move in life,
(35:14):
how come why don't you go? Because I can't stand
the guy because we we're a lot alike. We just
don't get alive because we just can't come to agree
to disagree, and there's stances we've taken that's not going
to be resolved, you know. But I wish you'd give
me some money. And I'm tracking. I can listen to
(35:35):
my sports.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Right, so we man you You you've said, hey, you
