Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka laka, It's our number two. Things were about
to get really cheesy, really cheesy. Here in hour two
of The Ben mather Show. On this Wednesday, the twelfth
day of November, life is treating you well? Get over
the hump? Is Packer coach Matt LeFleur skating on finn ice?
(00:20):
Or are people overreacting as Green Bay losing futile offense
the Monday night game against Philadelphia. Also, how are things
going for Aaron Glenn as he spars with the media
in New York and his tenure with the Jets. And also,
now that Travis Hunter's rookie season is over in Jacksonville,
(00:43):
did he live up to the hype? Jaggs traded a
bunch of scratcher tickets to get their hands on Travis Hunter.
That and more right now here, it is our number two.
Now the famous quote years ago was the ship be
sinking in green May the cheese be melting? Welcome In
(01:05):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show,
We are in the air everywhere, crawling through the night
as we are attempting to raise the bar, coast, the coast, sporting,
the border and beyond on the mast and heart stoppingly

Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Ozzi Waz and
the Many Kangaroos and the great Tim mcdarby, a show

(01:53):

last week with his picks, but he's listening and he

So we mentioned the famous line from the late Michael
(03:23):
Ray Richardson who said the ship be sinking. And then
there's the the cheese be Melton, which is what they're
saying now in Green Bay. That is our lead this hour.
The fallout from the offensive stinkfest that took place at
limbau Field, and a lot of noise. There's a lot
of chatter, have you heard it? No some chatter bouncing
(03:46):
around the pinball machine of NFL conversation, And if you
have not been paying attention, here's there's a pack of wolves,
not timberwolves, but wolves that are howling at the moon,
and that is not a good sign for coach Matt
Liffleur and his job status. Now, that's some of the
(04:09):
fallout from a Packer team that only scored once. That's
it against the Philadelphia Eagles. One score, missed a sixty
plus yard field goal that would have tied the game
at the end, another clunky home loss. The Packers have
now lost back to back games in the soon to
be not quite yet soon to be frozen tundra, So
(04:32):
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question is Packer coach Matt Liffleur skating on thin ice?
Is he skating on thin ice? Or are people overreacting
to a random loss at the end of week ten
in the NFL. So my observations on this. I've got
(04:54):
gluten free Costco, rotisserie Chicken, and Gulfstream and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make some delicious movie theater popcorn with extra butter,
extra butter and salt right on top there. So number number,
(05:19):
It is true. It is true that Matt Lafleur has
not done a good job this season. Let's establish that
as our baselineing. Every man, woman, and child knows that
the Packers had high expectations when they got Micah Parsons
that this was going to be a championship team. It
doesn't look like a championship team. It doesn't play like
a championship team. It doesn't appear that they will ever
get to that point. Based on what we've seen. They're
(05:41):
serving up undercooked brought worst. If you've ever had an
undercooked brought worst, it's not very appetizing, and you pay
the price later you do. Regardless of that being said,
the arrow is pointing towards overreacting in terms of I'm
worried about today's moment in the show to the show
(06:01):
here overnight, and is there any kind of immediate danger,
stranger danger that Matt Lafleur is going to end up
getting whacked as coach. I don't see it. And the
reason I don't see it two words, green Bay. That's
it right. There's no Jerry Jones figure doing seven radio
(06:24):
shows a week breathing fire. No, that does not exist.
There's no owner that they don't have an owner calling
radio shows they don't have an owner. They're owned by
a committee that never goes well, right, a committee of
foam loving cheeseheads. In fact, I know one of the
(06:45):
green Bay packed I don't know a couple of packer
owners here. One of them works here at Fox Sports Radio. Also,
Rod the Ambassador of Bakersfield, who's a friend and he's
a big shot. He brought the show to Bakersfield because
he owns the Green Bay Packers. Rod's got a lot
of money and that. But there's over five hundred thousand
I say this in air quotes owners of the Green
(07:08):
Bay Packers. There's over five hundred thousand shareholders of the packers.
Not one of them, not Rod the Ambassador, the other
people I know that have purchased stock in the package.
None of them have the power to say bye bye
to the head coach. Cannot do it, can actually fire
the guy. You can't do it. There's no pressure cooker.
(07:30):
It's just a slow cooker. That's all they have. There's
a little slow cooker there in Wisconsin and the floorst record.
It's one of these things. If you're a low information fan,
the dumb fan, he said, Ah, what are you talking about?
I said, a great record. That's what you're doing overnights.
You just trying, you're just trying to get content. Yeah,
that kind of But if you look at the record,
(07:50):
he's seventy two and thirty six during the regular season,
six sixty five winning percentage, I'm told is good. I'm
told that's pretty good. However, when it counts, there have
been eight playoff games, and his Green Bay Packers, Matt
Lafuur's Green Bay Packers are three and five. So if
you use the malor math, that's not cutting it right.
(08:13):
Laflour is basically a gluten free version of the guy
they got rid of, Mike McCarthy. It's like he's he
looks better on television than the chubby Mike McCarthy. The
results are about the same. A regular season contender and
a playoff pretender that's the Green Bay Packers, And so
(08:35):
he's like a fit version of Big Mac. You know,
it's well, you know, I'm healthy. I don't need any sauce. Now,
I don't need this. Well, okay, but the sauce is
part of it. But I don't need the sauce. Well,
I don't need you know, I don't even need the
bread well, even though the bread, that's the big mac.
You take the bread away. It's just two patties and
there's no piece of bread in the middle. But I
don't need that. It's all showed, no sauce. That's the
(08:56):
green Bay Packers under mister la Fleur. That the bigger
issue here, and this is what ultimately will likely get
him to leave these sidelines in Green Bay. Here get
excommunicated from the Church of lambeau Field. And that would
be the quarterback Jordan Love. He said, what kind of
cheese is he is? He is he a cheddar cheese,
(09:17):
He's a mozzarella cheese. What kind of Well at this point,
he's cheese fondue, is what he is. Jordan Love was
supposed to be a breakout year again. They went out
and got Michael Parsons a good defense blah blah blah
blah blah. And what they've gotten from Jordan Love, he's
what I call a fifty to fifty raffle quarterback. Now,
what is a fifty to fifty raffle? Well, how you're
(09:38):
fifty to fifty raffle? You split the money down the middle, Well,
Jordan Love, you split the performances about half the time
he's pretty good and about half the time he sucks.
That's it, right, either win a National TV game or
I guess they tied the Dallas Cowboys, right, he played
well in that game, relatively speaking. So you win a game,
(09:59):
or you get a ten percent off coupon for cheese
kurds at Culver's. Congratulations on that. So Jordan Love is
a stat sheet warrior. He's a warrior, NI Golden State Warrior,
a stat sheet warrior. Top ten quarterback if you go
by the Trusty quarterback rating in the NFL. And I
know you say a prayer every night or every morning
(10:21):
to the quarterback rating, but Jordan Love is technically a
top ten quarterback in the NFL. He's also looking up
at the tukis of the Chicago Bears and the tukis
of the Detroit Lions in the division. So so top
ten quarterback based on the numbers. And yet when you
actually watch him play a lot of the time when
(10:41):
you're watching him, it's it's like the difference between reading
sheet music. You read sheet music and then hearing the song.
You'd much rather hear the song than read the music.
You much rather do that. And so that's that's the
Packers to a t. That fits him to a t
(11:02):
because he got pretty numbers and yet music kind of flat.
You got some world class, world renowned musicians, but they
just got a little something missing. There's something that's not
quite right there. And again, he's got the resume I'm
talking about Matt Lafleur. He's got the resume of a guy,
not the guy, but a guy who will be remembered
(11:25):
for one thing, winning a lot of regular season games
and then bombing out, bomb bomb baby in the playoffs
because that's the talent show. So you've got the beauty
contest of the regular season and then in the postseason
you've got the talent show and there's just apparently not
enough talent there, all right, So well, again, he's not today,
(11:47):
he's not on thin ice. We can revisit this at
the end of the season and the lake is starting
to crack a little bit, starting to crack a little bit.
And remember, listen, the Packers just did something they don't
normally do that is not a normal hacker. Moved to
trade for Micah Parsons and then pay him a scene
amount of money. You know, he shod multiple picks away
because you think you're going to have a championship team.
(12:09):
No one looks all that great in the NFL. They don't,
all right. Meanwhile, speaking of not looking all that great,
we head to the Big Apple, the Garden State. Well,
actually it's actually the Garden State, not the Big Apple,
because Floriam Park, New Jersey, is where the Jets facility
is in Jersey Baby, not the Jersey Shore. But that
is where Jets coach Aaron Glenn. Things are not going
(12:31):
particularly well. Aaron Glenn's trying to swim against the current.
He's being second guest. Hard to believe football media would
second guest the head coach of a bad football team,
But here we are. So he became Aaron Glenn A turtle.
What kind of turtle? A snapping turtle, that's right, he snapped. Now.
At his news conference and the last news cycle here,
(12:55):
Aaron Glenn was asked about a recent report that the
Jets beat reporter Rich Samini, longtime beat reporter for the
Jets at various outlets in New York, that he reported
star wide receiver Garrett Wilson would be out three to
four weeks because of a knee injury. So that was
his report. Well, Glenn, I guess he didn't like that reporting.
(13:19):
I don't know, because it was right, he didn't like it.
The Jets played the Patriots in the Thursday night game
and that led to a very awkward exchange. This is
Aaron Glenn, who's the face of an NFL franchise worth
What are the Jets worths? Five billion, six billions? Something
like that? Believe it or not. Because they're in the
right place, location, location, location. So here's Aaron Glenn, and
(13:40):
listen to the interash. We have the audio here. Here's
Aaron Glenn with the media in New York. Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I'm going to pass on talking about the injuries since
you're Rich.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
He's not here.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
He has all the answers, so you can, guys can
get all the injuries from Rich.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
So I go right into this game a candidate for
I or is that not something you want to ask Rich? Well,
I'm telling you that's Rich here, boy.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
You better call him.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
No disrespect to you or Rich. But like, we want
to hear from you.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
You know, you guys have been hearing you guys have
been hearing from me. But now since we're just reporting stuff,
you know that I haven't said, and maybe you should
ask you.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Thanks everybody, see how it all right? There you go.
So he repeatedly deferred all questions regarding injuries to a
beat reporter who wasn't even in the building. Tell me
the report was right without telling me the report was right.
Why would you be upset if it wasn't right? All right? So,
(14:43):
how are things going? Here's the question? How are things
going for Aaron Glenn and his tenure with a j
E t suck? Sucks suck? Hey, the Jets are on
a burner. As the kids said, they won a couple
of games in a row. So, holy catfish batman, this
is Aaron Glenn pulled the I do ask Ben on
social media? We do it on the radio show. He
(15:03):
pulled the ass Rich card from the bottom of the deck.
Just ask Rich, Semini. He played it like he's like
a high school kid caught cheating on a test. But
it's Rich's fault. I didn't I didn't cheat. It was
Rich's fault. It was Rich's idea. Ask Rich. That's so great, dude.
(15:24):
You're the head coach. Dude, what are you doing? You
own the information? Hey, it's great. Talk radio I'm happy
that you're bad at your job interacting with the media.
It's good for my business. But seriously, take a couple
of steps back. That is literally one of the main
pillars of your job is to deal with the media,
(15:44):
and that's how you do it. Totally unhinged. Totally unhinged.
Now I hear a lot of I don't hear. I'm
gonna check that. I don't hear a lot. I've heard
some defense of Aaron Glenn saying, well, Bill Belichick did
it for twenty years with the Patriot. Look at all
the rings that he wont So Aaron Glenn's just copying
Bill Belichick and all that stuff. Okay, that's fine. I
(16:07):
believe I'm not mistaken. The Jets have two regular season
wins are the twenty ninth team and the thirty two
team NFL. And the thing that people forget because time
goes on, time marches on, and people don't often look back.
Why would you move on? And you live your life.
But there are some that are too young. Bill belichick
(16:29):
coaching team called the Browns. They're bad. They're bad. But
believe it or not, Belichick was at one point somewhat
cordial with the media. Now, let me you an example
of that. There's a there's a video that pops up
usually once a year, of Bill Belichick, young lad coaching
the Cleveland Browns back way way way way back in
(16:50):
the nineties. Oh my god, he's coaching the Cleveland Browns.
And a local Cleveland comedian did a comedy bit with
Bill Belichick where they made his mom's peanut butter and
jelly sandwich and Belichick played alone. He played alone. That
was Belichick being loosey goosey with the media. And it's
still on YouTube. It pops up every every year or
(17:12):
every other year or whatever. So as a rule of thumb,
you can hate the media, you can despise the media,
you can think the media is the worst thing in
the world. However, the media versus me, we've seen that
play out never ends well. That routine does not end well.
And you know it, and I know it. It's a
(17:34):
battle you cannot win. Cannot know it. Name me one
unproven first year coach who decided to pick a fight
with the local media in a real media town. Not
only like La there's like nobody, it's all fanboys, but
in a real media town. All right, That would have survived.
I'll wait and I'll give out the number eight seven
(17:56):
seven ninety nine on five. I don't think it's happened.
I don't remember, so Aaron Glenn the I guess he
missed class the day when they went over the fact
that all right, so you're supposed to show up the
class and attention all students there, all the students in
the class. There. You can catch more flies with honey
(18:16):
than vinegar. Aaron Glenn's like, I don't need honey, I
don't want honey. I love vinegar. Give me the vinegar.
And he so he just decided, I'm gonna turn every
one of these news conferences into a bubble bath. No water,
all vinegar, a vinegar bubble bath. Yep, that's right. Good times.
I should have used the old deodorant line. I'd never
(18:38):
let never let him see a sweatmember that line of
the old line there, never let him see a sweat.
Great marketing term. And and there's there's Aaron Glenn's like
a Costco chicken, the rotisserie chicken from Costco, glistening with
sweat and full on Jersey car wreck on the Jersey Turnpike.
(18:58):
As Aaron Glenn. He's doing the limbo, doing the limbo.
How low can you go somewhat lower than the Jets
win total, which is that's how low, pretty low, pretty low?
All right? Final point to Jacksonville. We go douv all
Coty the Jaguars rookie wide receiver and defensive back. Rookie
(19:23):
wide receiver defensive back Travis Hunter. We found out I
was gonna miss the rest of the year. Nada la
da da la da. Good bye see lad, He's out.
Snap crackle pop the injury. Knee surgery, right knee bye bye,
bye bye baby. He's out all right. That sucks now.
(19:43):
He suffered a non contact injury, which means the leg
just gave out. The leg just gave out. Happened during
practice on Halloween. Spooky. Now, Hunter's knee ligaments. We didn't
see them. We hear they look like they kind of shredded,
like pulled pork. His knee ligaments there and so this
is his maiden voyage is now done. They popped the
(20:06):
bottle of champagne. He went out there and played for
the Jacksonville Jaguars and that was it there. He ended
up playing sixty seven percent of the offensive snaps thirty
six percent. That's less than forty My computer like brain
tells me of the defensive snaps. And then the injury happened.
So the question now that Travis Hunter is Dunskies for
(20:30):
his rookie season, it's all over in Jacksonville. Did he
live up to the hype? Did he live up to
the hype? And the answer is inn nec situation, not
even close, not even This was supposed to be Prime
Time two point zero, the reincarnation. Instead it was the
(20:52):
two ways to nothing is what it was here because
in the end you had a whole lot of nothing. Oh,
there are a lot of other couple one hundred yards receiving
a couple of hundred yards receiving a handful of tackles
on defense, and one more touchdown than you and I scored.
That's it. One more Touchdown's a give you mind. The Jags.
(21:13):
Jags traded away not one, not two, not three, I
be four four draft picks, including the Crown Jewel, their
first round draft pick in twenty twenty six, to move
on up a couple of spots to get that two
way unicorn unicord. They got a unicorn, That's what they said.
(21:34):
They told us that, Well, it turns out that they
did not get a Unicorn. They got a zebra. That's
what they got. Nice to look at. I don't really
do much. That's what they got. The Jags are like, well,
we're gonna we're gonna get a Gulf Stream and they
got a greyhound bus standard ticket, squeaky breaks, greyhound bus
(21:55):
people with body odor in every other seat. That's what
they got. And uh, I get that. He played both
ways and that's kind of cool. It's cute and it's fun.
You do have to produce. You have to at least
be great on one side and you can be average
on the other for this to work. If you're not
going to be great, either defensively or offensively, it's a
(22:16):
non starter. And the production. As a wide out, he
was listed as a mid tier wide out. As a
defensive back, he was average. He's an average cornerback. So
Pro Football Focus the nerds over there say solid starter,
not franchise game changer. It's about where I had him
on the math scorecard. It's about where I had him.
(22:36):
And they traded a big truck full of Bengo cards
for a novelty act. That's really what he is until
he shows that he's actually good. We're one year in
and he's already done for the year. He's heard and
so it's a bit of a science experiment for the
Jaguars to try to figure this out, because it's not
normal in modern football to play both ways on the field.
(22:58):
And it turns out this is a science experiment, and
like most science experiments, what happens. They blow up in
the lab, come boom, just like that lab, and then
that's it. And so in the end, at this point,
based on the report card we filled out today, Travis
Hunter is just another drag drafted by the perfect team.
(23:20):
Just a guy literally and figuratively, just a guy. No
razzle dazzle. Where's the razmataz? I need some razmataz? No
highlight reel. One touchdown you gave one touchdown? No how
many pick sixes did he have? Where were all those plays?
I didn't see that. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Now if you'd like to be part, there is one
(23:41):
line open. The first time in a while, I guess
I mentioned Jacksonville. Somebody hung up eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six

get to those stories coming up in a little bit.
(26:22):
And I also have the Insta Trivia later this hour
as well, and Clint writes and says, you say Travis
Hunter was expecting to be a golf Stream and they
got a greyhound Bus. But more like he was touted
as a Bombader Global seventy five thousand and they got
a Sessna. No, I don't know. I mean I stopped
(26:44):
paying attention to planes at Gulf Stream. I don't know
if they still use golf streams. I used to know
really wealthy people and they would fly golf Streams, so
I just kind of that's always my default, Clint. When
I think of rich people flying private planes, I think
golf stream because that's what I remember. When I knew
some really wealthy people would fly private planes, they'd always
I'm going on my golf stream. I said, okay, that
must be a rich person's plane. Yeah. Parrito writes, Since
(27:08):
says all those gas bags, saying that he Hunter is
better than Otani, since football is a tougher sport, bunch
of losers with very weak takes, and many of them
are your buddies. Then he wants me to rip the
people that are my buddies. Okay, yeah, thank you. I'm
(27:28):
glad you're a fan. I'm glad you're a fan. Sean says,
I just watched Steph Curry's flagrant foul call. What a blank,
blank blank call. I was expecting McHale clotheslining Rambus in
the finals and this wasn't even a tech. The entire
league is sucked, Sean. Did you really need, Sean? Did
(27:50):
you need to have a Steph Curry revelation to know
that the way the NBA is these days? First of all,
I tried to watch that Golden State Lahoma City game.
I had it on the background. I was getting ready
for the show, and I'm trying to avoid the NBA.
I'm not even do it. I'm not, but I had it,
and I feel like I need to have That was
kind of a big game. I was like, okay, I'll
(28:11):
have that on the background. I wasn't really paying that
close attention to it. The game was pretty lopsided. There
was about six minutes I think to go in the
fourth quarter, and they did. They did a review for
Oklahoma City. There was a timeout, they then there was
another timeout and then Steve Kerr did a review. They
were back to back reviews in a game that was lopsided.
(28:34):
A lopsided game. Mind you was six minutes to go. Yeah,
that's freaking wonderful. Let's go to the phones, and who
do we have here? He ain't even you got a full board.
Let's say hello to E Dog who's on Long Island. Hello,
E Dog, Welcome.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Ben.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Here's the question right away. I go to a program
as you know him well, and there's nice Jewish men, say,
comedian that goes there. Trny gets his name.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Well, no, you're not. You're not supposed to name the
people that go to to the alcoholic anonymous and that
you're not. You're not supposed to name.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
It's not he want. I asked him, like he measured
his name.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
He said, yeah, all right, but you understand like we don't.
We don't know who you are, and we don't want
to get sued. You know, we were definitely don't want
get How about we put a disclaimer? Can we put it?
Will you allow us to put a disclaimer?
Speaker 5 (29:31):
What's this gamer?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Okay, So this is the part where I say that
we at Fox Sports Radio do not know E Dog
in real life. He's a character on the show. We
have no way of validating or verifying any of the
claims that the dog is about to make on six
hundred radio stations. Is that accurate? Do you understand that
e dog that we we love you? We just don't.
You could say anything. You could say Donald Trump was
(29:54):
at that thing for all we know, right, I mean,
who knows.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
No, the guy's name is Andrew and he the man
Stewards guy.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Like, oh, I know I've heard Andrew dice Clay name
is Andrew Silverstein. Also, well, no, no, that whole line, sec,
I know you're making that up. Did he do any nursery?
Did he do any nursery rhymes while he was in there?
Did he know? Wasn't that? Wasn't that his big back
in the day, he did nursery rhymes? I remember Andrew
(30:21):
dice Clay.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
I can't repeat some of the things he said. He's
a funny guy, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Yeah, tell me call the show. How about that? Tell
me call the show.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
I love the one last thing my dad. I love
him to death. When he said this, when a doctor
when a woman is giving work to a baby, is
there as the baby getting hit by the doctor. He
should make nice?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
All right? Again? You're you're the king of non sequeris you?
You love it. Where's Melissa? Where's Melissa?
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Oh she's then from the program for a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
No, okay, see, I thought you were supposed to go
out with Melissa on money Day, right, we haven't. Didn't
call yesterday, I don't think.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Yeah, I member of the programs. You want me a pretzel?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
And oh that's right, you did tell that. Okay, you
did tell the story. All right, I got you. It
was a soft pretzel, not a hard pretzel. A soft pretzel,
all right, I believe in that.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Once you mentioned the hard pretzels, they saw that too.
But I need to go for the oj.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
To barn juice.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
But how about those b Bay package.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
They're undefeated, they just lost on Monday night. You're talking
out of your tukas you're talking out of your tucks
Eat Dog, you're trying to get more airtime. You don't
have a lot of content, admit it, right now, eat Dog,
you don't have a lot to say. So now you're like,
let me just how about the Green Bay play? You
know what that's like. That's like when I go out
with with relatives who I know that it's fine. So
(31:46):
I have relatives that aren't sports people and if they're
trying to they think that I only want to talk
about sports because my job, right, you probably know the
same thing. Mark my my engine, and so I'll go out.
I'll be a social man and people that aren't sports.
So who do you think is going to the super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
If I know that, I would.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Not be here.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
I think the Ravens are gonna win the super Bowl
because now they get Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Oh my god, Oh that's a terrible Yeah, because Lamar
is so good in the player, He's so good in
the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Lamar, I want to make a bold statement the next.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
All right, we'd like to alert all the affiliates. A
bold statement coming from a guy that claimed to run
into Andrew Dice Clay go ahead, anyway, all right, I
gotta you're annoying. I gotta go, thank you, go all right? There,
there there is the button. Here you go. There he goes.
All right, let's go. Now, a guy that will definitely
(32:42):
not annoy me. Hollering James, Hello, hollering James, big Ben.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I ended up blowing to Pickle. How come Coop has
decide who just played too much or not enough? That's
not fair. He just qualified me.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Hold well, calm down, James, I know you're upset. Uh
let me. Let me address this as the leader of
the malle militia. So we like to give the illusion, James,
that there's more. Can you turn the radio down please?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
There you go, okay.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
So we like to give the illusion, because it's theater
of the mind of radio that we don't have the
same three people play every game. We like to pretend
like there's actually a large audience of people that want
to play the games, even though some nights it's the
same free people. So we like to give the illusion
that there's other people. You know, It's kind of like
when you were a kid, James, and you had to
share and they talked about sharing. Remember that when you
(33:35):
were a little kid.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Yeah, sure, your hands Mary Joe Corpeland, but you know
what she is a homeless shelter Goop picks them homeless.
He's got another take comments.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
We're getting angry, James, who said anything about you being homeless?
He said, you're homeless? We didn't You didn't pull.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Them that that was flexious one time, he thought, So
you let't surrendered, Dubold.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
I've literally never fallen for your felexis gag. It's obvious
it's you every time. That's why I hang up when
you say it's you.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I think it's a plexis. Hey, James, can you do?
Can you do like a blind Scott impersonation? What would
that be like?
Speaker 3 (34:15):
There's just blond Scott?
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Say Ben, what's going on? Was? Hey?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Blind Scott? What do you think of James doing an
impersonation of you? Scott?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (34:26):
That sounds like blood.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
That does sound like me a little bit. He's not homewards.
He's a welfare queen.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
He's not well, that's coming from another welfare. I mean,
without without Obama phones, no one would call the show
my god.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
But the thing with holler at James is he's like
a golden ticket for people who have Cooper.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
All right, all right, he's I think Scott was ripping you, James.
Anything you want to say to Scott, I gotta go
any you want to say.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
To him, Yes, like the Bears.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
All right, you're loser, Scott, You're a loser like the bears.
According to hollering James, I wanted to pass that on, James.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
You wanted me to let you do about the bear
and you clogged the toilet like one.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
He's like, all right, he says you he the size
of a bear and you clogged toilets like one is
uh to toilet de bears use toilets today, James, No.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Yeah, because you're an outdoors man, you know, poopy outdoors, all.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Right, Scott, he says you're you go poopy outdoors is
what he said.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
You service men doubt.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
All right? There we go. All right, there that ends
the bit right there. That'll be on the podcast. Scott
always has to push it over the line line. Scott,
very nice, all right, Just josh As you should change
e dog's name to e docs. He's terrible. There you go,
very nice. It is the Ben Maucher. We'll push back

How about that?
Speaker 4 (38:19):
To the third degree. This is one big Ben gets grail,
all right, Coobler.
Speaker 6 (38:26):
On Monday, Rex Ryan called Caleb Williams a generational talent yeah,
and said that he's gonna keep climbing. Ben, Is Caleb's
starting to change your opinion on his career outlook?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
No, No, I have not changed my opinion yet. It
takes me. It takes a long time for me to
change my opinion. He's played better than I thought. I'll
give him that. He's played better than I thought. And
he's had some heroic moments here lately, which is good
and encouraging. No, I'm not. I know he's got to
worry about his hot takes every day, Rex Ryan. So
he's really good at that kind of stuff. I'm not there,
(38:57):
but the Bears are. They're starting to make a little
bit of rumbling noise next.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
So Nico Harrison got fired, and with that firing has
a lot of people thinking that Anthony Davis could be
on the trade block. Yes, could you see Anthony Davis
getting moved this season? I think he's gonna be traded
to Cedar SINAI. I think that's where he's gonna be traded. Cooper,
come on, I mean, the guy where I was born?
Why would you congratulations? A lot of celebrities there as
you know, so where like where's.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
He gonna go?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Like?
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Why would you trade for a guy who's not gonna play?
Like seriously, it's like saying I'm gona'm gonna date the
hottest woman in the world. I'm actually gonna physically be
with her, but I'm gonna I'm gonna date I mean,
what's the point? All right?
Speaker 6 (39:34):
Next, the Detroit Pistons went from winning fourteen games two
years ago to winning a winning record.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Last year in the playoffs. Yeah, they had a playoff
series with the next one.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
So far this season they're leading the Eastern Conference. Then,
is this the year of the Pistons?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Well? Cool, best, you know, I have it. It's MEA's
background noise for me at this point, Cooper Loop. The
season starts in like December twenty fifth. They're good. They're
a playoff team. I'm not there yet. On the business,
how do we do? How do we do?
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Yes, I
Boom, shaka laka, It's our number two. Things were about
to get really cheesy, really cheesy. Here in hour two
of The Ben mather Show. On this Wednesday, the twelfth
day of November, life is treating you well? Get over
the hump? Is Packer coach Matt LeFleur skating on finn ice?
(00:20):
Or are people overreacting as Green Bay losing futile offense
the Monday night game against Philadelphia. Also, how are things
going for Aaron Glenn as he spars with the media
in New York and his tenure with the Jets. And also,
now that Travis Hunter's rookie season is over in Jacksonville,
(00:43):
did he live up to the hype? Jaggs traded a
bunch of scratcher tickets to get their hands on Travis Hunter.
That and more right now here, it is our number two.
Now the famous quote years ago was the ship be
sinking in green May the cheese be melting? Welcome In
(01:05):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show,
We are in the air everywhere, crawling through the night
as we are attempting to raise the bar, coast, the coast, sporting,
the border and beyond on the mast and heart stoppingly

last week with his picks, but he's listening and he

So we mentioned the famous line from the late Michael
(03:23):
Ray Richardson who said the ship be sinking. And then
there's the the cheese be Melton, which is what they're
saying now in Green Bay. That is our lead this hour.
The fallout from the offensive stinkfest that took place at
limbau Field, and a lot of noise. There's a lot
of chatter, have you heard it? No some chatter bouncing
(03:46):
around the pinball machine of NFL conversation, And if you
have not been paying attention, here's there's a pack of wolves,
not timberwolves, but wolves that are howling at the moon,
and that is not a good sign for coach Matt
Liffleur and his job status. Now, that's some of the
(04:09):
fallout from a Packer team that only scored once. That's
it against the Philadelphia Eagles. One score, missed a sixty
plus yard field goal that would have tied the game
at the end, another clunky home loss. The Packers have
now lost back to back games in the soon to
be not quite yet soon to be frozen tundra, So
(04:32):
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question is Packer coach Matt Liffleur skating on thin ice?
Is he skating on thin ice? Or are people overreacting
to a random loss at the end of week ten
in the NFL. So my observations on this. I've got
(04:54):
gluten free Costco, rotisserie Chicken, and Gulfstream and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make some delicious movie theater popcorn with extra butter,
extra butter and salt right on top there. So number number,
(05:19):
It is true. It is true that Matt Lafleur has
not done a good job this season. Let's establish that
as our baselineing. Every man, woman, and child knows that
the Packers had high expectations when they got Micah Parsons
that this was going to be a championship team. It
doesn't look like a championship team. It doesn't play like
a championship team. It doesn't appear that they will ever
get to that point. Based on what we've seen. They're
(05:41):
serving up undercooked brought worst. If you've ever had an
undercooked brought worst, it's not very appetizing, and you pay
the price later you do. Regardless of that being said,
the arrow is pointing towards overreacting in terms of I'm
worried about today's moment in the show to the show
(06:01):
here overnight, and is there any kind of immediate danger,
stranger danger that Matt Lafleur is going to end up
getting whacked as coach. I don't see it. And the
reason I don't see it two words, green Bay. That's
it right. There's no Jerry Jones figure doing seven radio
(06:24):
shows a week breathing fire. No, that does not exist.
There's no owner that they don't have an owner calling
radio shows they don't have an owner. They're owned by
a committee that never goes well, right, a committee of
foam loving cheeseheads. In fact, I know one of the
(06:45):
green Bay packed I don't know a couple of packer
owners here. One of them works here at Fox Sports Radio. Also,
Rod the Ambassador of Bakersfield, who's a friend and he's
a big shot. He brought the show to Bakersfield because
he owns the Green Bay Packers. Rod's got a lot
of money and that. But there's over five hundred thousand
I say this in air quotes owners of the Green
(07:08):
Bay Packers. There's over five hundred thousand shareholders of the packers.
Not one of them, not Rod the Ambassador, the other
people I know that have purchased stock in the package.
None of them have the power to say bye bye
to the head coach. Cannot do it, can actually fire
the guy. You can't do it. There's no pressure cooker.
(07:30):
It's just a slow cooker. That's all they have. There's
a little slow cooker there in Wisconsin and the floorst record.
It's one of these things. If you're a low information fan,
the dumb fan, he said, Ah, what are you talking about?
I said, a great record. That's what you're doing overnights.
You just trying, you're just trying to get content. Yeah,
that kind of But if you look at the record,
(07:50):
he's seventy two and thirty six during the regular season,
six sixty five winning percentage, I'm told is good. I'm
told that's pretty good. However, when it counts, there have
been eight playoff games, and his Green Bay Packers, Matt
Lafuur's Green Bay Packers are three and five. So if
you use the malor math, that's not cutting it right.
(08:13):
Laflour is basically a gluten free version of the guy
they got rid of, Mike McCarthy. It's like he's he
looks better on television than the chubby Mike McCarthy. The
results are about the same. A regular season contender and
a playoff pretender that's the Green Bay Packers, And so
(08:35):
he's like a fit version of Big Mac. You know,
it's well, you know, I'm healthy. I don't need any sauce. Now,
I don't need this. Well, okay, but the sauce is
part of it. But I don't need the sauce. Well,
I don't need you know, I don't even need the
bread well, even though the bread, that's the big mac.
You take the bread away. It's just two patties and
there's no piece of bread in the middle. But I
don't need that. It's all showed, no sauce. That's the
(08:56):
green Bay Packers under mister la Fleur. That the bigger
issue here, and this is what ultimately will likely get
him to leave these sidelines in Green Bay. Here get
excommunicated from the Church of lambeau Field. And that would
be the quarterback Jordan Love. He said, what kind of
cheese is he is? He is he a cheddar cheese,
(09:17):
He's a mozzarella cheese. What kind of Well at this point,
he's cheese fondue, is what he is. Jordan Love was
supposed to be a breakout year again. They went out
and got Michael Parsons a good defense blah blah blah
blah blah. And what they've gotten from Jordan Love, he's
what I call a fifty to fifty raffle quarterback. Now,
what is a fifty to fifty raffle? Well, how you're
(09:38):
fifty to fifty raffle? You split the money down the middle, Well,
Jordan Love, you split the performances about half the time
he's pretty good and about half the time he sucks.
That's it, right, either win a National TV game or
I guess they tied the Dallas Cowboys, right, he played
well in that game, relatively speaking. So you win a game,
(09:59):
or you get a ten percent off coupon for cheese
kurds at Culver's. Congratulations on that. So Jordan Love is
a stat sheet warrior. He's a warrior, NI Golden State Warrior,
a stat sheet warrior. Top ten quarterback if you go
by the Trusty quarterback rating in the NFL. And I
know you say a prayer every night or every morning
(10:21):
to the quarterback rating, but Jordan Love is technically a
top ten quarterback in the NFL. He's also looking up
at the tukis of the Chicago Bears and the tukis
of the Detroit Lions in the division. So so top
ten quarterback based on the numbers. And yet when you
actually watch him play a lot of the time when
(10:41):
you're watching him, it's it's like the difference between reading
sheet music. You read sheet music and then hearing the song.
You'd much rather hear the song than read the music.
You much rather do that. And so that's that's the
Packers to a t. That fits him to a t
(11:02):
because he got pretty numbers and yet music kind of flat.
You got some world class, world renowned musicians, but they
just got a little something missing. There's something that's not
quite right there. And again, he's got the resume I'm
talking about Matt Lafleur. He's got the resume of a guy,
not the guy, but a guy who will be remembered
(11:25):
for one thing, winning a lot of regular season games
and then bombing out, bomb bomb baby in the playoffs
because that's the talent show. So you've got the beauty
contest of the regular season and then in the postseason
you've got the talent show and there's just apparently not
enough talent there, all right, So well, again, he's not today,
(11:47):
he's not on thin ice. We can revisit this at
the end of the season and the lake is starting
to crack a little bit, starting to crack a little bit.
And remember, listen, the Packers just did something they don't
normally do that is not a normal hacker. Moved to
trade for Micah Parsons and then pay him a scene
amount of money. You know, he shod multiple picks away
because you think you're going to have a championship team.
(12:09):
No one looks all that great in the NFL. They don't,
all right. Meanwhile, speaking of not looking all that great,
we head to the Big Apple, the Garden State. Well,
actually it's actually the Garden State, not the Big Apple,
because Floriam Park, New Jersey, is where the Jets facility
is in Jersey Baby, not the Jersey Shore. But that
is where Jets coach Aaron Glenn. Things are not going
(12:31):
particularly well. Aaron Glenn's trying to swim against the current.
He's being second guest. Hard to believe football media would
second guest the head coach of a bad football team,
But here we are. So he became Aaron Glenn A turtle.
What kind of turtle? A snapping turtle, that's right, he snapped. Now.
At his news conference and the last news cycle here,
(12:55):
Aaron Glenn was asked about a recent report that the
Jets beat reporter Rich Samini, longtime beat reporter for the
Jets at various outlets in New York, that he reported
star wide receiver Garrett Wilson would be out three to
four weeks because of a knee injury. So that was
his report. Well, Glenn, I guess he didn't like that reporting.
(13:19):
I don't know, because it was right, he didn't like it.
The Jets played the Patriots in the Thursday night game
and that led to a very awkward exchange. This is
Aaron Glenn, who's the face of an NFL franchise worth
What are the Jets worths? Five billion, six billions? Something
like that? Believe it or not. Because they're in the
right place, location, location, location. So here's Aaron Glenn, and
(13:40):
listen to the interash. We have the audio here. Here's
Aaron Glenn with the media in New York. Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I'm going to pass on talking about the injuries since
you're Rich.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
He's not here.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
He has all the answers, so you can, guys can
get all the injuries from Rich.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
So I go right into this game a candidate for
I or is that not something you want to ask Rich? Well,
I'm telling you that's Rich here, boy.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
You better call him.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
No disrespect to you or Rich. But like, we want
to hear from you.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
You know, you guys have been hearing you guys have
been hearing from me. But now since we're just reporting stuff,
you know that I haven't said, and maybe you should
ask you.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Thanks everybody, see how it all right? There you go.
So he repeatedly deferred all questions regarding injuries to a
beat reporter who wasn't even in the building. Tell me
the report was right without telling me the report was right.
Why would you be upset if it wasn't right? All right? So,
(14:43):
how are things going? Here's the question? How are things
going for Aaron Glenn and his tenure with a j
E t suck? Sucks suck? Hey, the Jets are on
a burner. As the kids said, they won a couple
of games in a row. So, holy catfish batman, this
is Aaron Glenn pulled the I do ask Ben on
social media? We do it on the radio show. He
(15:03):
pulled the ass Rich card from the bottom of the deck.
Just ask Rich, Semini. He played it like he's like
a high school kid caught cheating on a test. But
it's Rich's fault. I didn't I didn't cheat. It was
Rich's fault. It was Rich's idea. Ask Rich. That's so great, dude.
(15:24):
You're the head coach. Dude, what are you doing? You
own the information? Hey, it's great. Talk radio I'm happy
that you're bad at your job interacting with the media.
It's good for my business. But seriously, take a couple
of steps back. That is literally one of the main
pillars of your job is to deal with the media,
(15:44):
and that's how you do it. Totally unhinged. Totally unhinged.
Now I hear a lot of I don't hear. I'm
gonna check that. I don't hear a lot. I've heard
some defense of Aaron Glenn saying, well, Bill Belichick did
it for twenty years with the Patriot. Look at all
the rings that he wont So Aaron Glenn's just copying
Bill Belichick and all that stuff. Okay, that's fine. I
(16:07):
believe I'm not mistaken. The Jets have two regular season
wins are the twenty ninth team and the thirty two
team NFL. And the thing that people forget because time
goes on, time marches on, and people don't often look back.
Why would you move on? And you live your life.
But there are some that are too young. Bill belichick
(16:29):
coaching team called the Browns. They're bad. They're bad. But
believe it or not, Belichick was at one point somewhat
cordial with the media. Now, let me you an example
of that. There's a there's a video that pops up
usually once a year, of Bill Belichick, young lad coaching
the Cleveland Browns back way way way way back in
(16:50):
the nineties. Oh my god, he's coaching the Cleveland Browns.
And a local Cleveland comedian did a comedy bit with
Bill Belichick where they made his mom's peanut butter and
jelly sandwich and Belichick played alone. He played alone. That
was Belichick being loosey goosey with the media. And it's
still on YouTube. It pops up every every year or
(17:12):
every other year or whatever. So as a rule of thumb,
you can hate the media, you can despise the media,
you can think the media is the worst thing in
the world. However, the media versus me, we've seen that
play out never ends well. That routine does not end well.
And you know it, and I know it. It's a
(17:34):
battle you cannot win. Cannot know it. Name me one
unproven first year coach who decided to pick a fight
with the local media in a real media town. Not
only like La there's like nobody, it's all fanboys, but
in a real media town. All right, That would have survived.
I'll wait and I'll give out the number eight seven
(17:56):
seven ninety nine on five. I don't think it's happened.
I don't remember, so Aaron Glenn the I guess he
missed class the day when they went over the fact
that all right, so you're supposed to show up the
class and attention all students there, all the students in
the class. There. You can catch more flies with honey
(18:16):
than vinegar. Aaron Glenn's like, I don't need honey, I
don't want honey. I love vinegar. Give me the vinegar.
And he so he just decided, I'm gonna turn every
one of these news conferences into a bubble bath. No water,
all vinegar, a vinegar bubble bath. Yep, that's right. Good times.
I should have used the old deodorant line. I'd never
(18:38):
let never let him see a sweatmember that line of
the old line there, never let him see a sweat.
Great marketing term. And and there's there's Aaron Glenn's like
a Costco chicken, the rotisserie chicken from Costco, glistening with
sweat and full on Jersey car wreck on the Jersey Turnpike.
(18:58):
As Aaron Glenn. He's doing the limbo, doing the limbo.
How low can you go somewhat lower than the Jets
win total, which is that's how low, pretty low, pretty low?
All right? Final point to Jacksonville. We go douv all
Coty the Jaguars rookie wide receiver and defensive back. Rookie
(19:23):
wide receiver defensive back Travis Hunter. We found out I
was gonna miss the rest of the year. Nada la
da da la da. Good bye see lad, He's out.
Snap crackle pop the injury. Knee surgery, right knee bye bye,
bye bye baby. He's out all right. That sucks now.
(19:43):
He suffered a non contact injury, which means the leg
just gave out. The leg just gave out. Happened during
practice on Halloween. Spooky. Now, Hunter's knee ligaments. We didn't
see them. We hear they look like they kind of shredded,
like pulled pork. His knee ligaments there and so this
is his maiden voyage is now done. They popped the
(20:06):
bottle of champagne. He went out there and played for
the Jacksonville Jaguars and that was it there. He ended
up playing sixty seven percent of the offensive snaps thirty
six percent. That's less than forty My computer like brain
tells me of the defensive snaps. And then the injury happened.
So the question now that Travis Hunter is Dunskies for
(20:30):
his rookie season, it's all over in Jacksonville. Did he
live up to the hype? Did he live up to
the hype? And the answer is inn nec situation, not
even close, not even This was supposed to be Prime
Time two point zero, the reincarnation. Instead it was the
(20:52):
two ways to nothing is what it was here because
in the end you had a whole lot of nothing. Oh,
there are a lot of other couple one hundred yards receiving
a couple of hundred yards receiving a handful of tackles
on defense, and one more touchdown than you and I scored.
That's it. One more Touchdown's a give you mind. The Jags.
(21:13):
Jags traded away not one, not two, not three, I
be four four draft picks, including the Crown Jewel, their
first round draft pick in twenty twenty six, to move
on up a couple of spots to get that two
way unicorn unicord. They got a unicorn, That's what they said.
(21:34):
They told us that, Well, it turns out that they
did not get a Unicorn. They got a zebra. That's
what they got. Nice to look at. I don't really
do much. That's what they got. The Jags are like, well,
we're gonna we're gonna get a Gulf Stream and they
got a greyhound bus standard ticket, squeaky breaks, greyhound bus
(21:55):
people with body odor in every other seat. That's what
they got. And uh, I get that. He played both
ways and that's kind of cool. It's cute and it's fun.
You do have to produce. You have to at least
be great on one side and you can be average
on the other for this to work. If you're not
going to be great, either defensively or offensively, it's a
(22:16):
non starter. And the production. As a wide out, he
was listed as a mid tier wide out. As a
defensive back, he was average. He's an average cornerback. So
Pro Football Focus the nerds over there say solid starter,
not franchise game changer. It's about where I had him
on the math scorecard. It's about where I had him.
(22:36):
And they traded a big truck full of Bengo cards
for a novelty act. That's really what he is until
he shows that he's actually good. We're one year in
and he's already done for the year. He's heard and
so it's a bit of a science experiment for the
Jaguars to try to figure this out, because it's not
normal in modern football to play both ways on the field.
(22:58):
And it turns out this is a science experiment, and
like most science experiments, what happens. They blow up in
the lab, come boom, just like that lab, and then
that's it. And so in the end, at this point,
based on the report card we filled out today, Travis
Hunter is just another drag drafted by the perfect team.
(23:20):
Just a guy literally and figuratively, just a guy. No
razzle dazzle. Where's the razmataz? I need some razmataz? No
highlight reel. One touchdown you gave one touchdown? No how
many pick sixes did he have? Where were all those plays?
I didn't see that. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Now if you'd like to be part, there is one
(23:41):
line open. The first time in a while, I guess
I mentioned Jacksonville. Somebody hung up eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six

get to those stories coming up in a little bit.
(26:22):
And I also have the Insta Trivia later this hour
as well, and Clint writes and says, you say Travis
Hunter was expecting to be a golf Stream and they
got a greyhound Bus. But more like he was touted
as a Bombader Global seventy five thousand and they got
a Sessna. No, I don't know. I mean I stopped
(26:44):
paying attention to planes at Gulf Stream. I don't know
if they still use golf streams. I used to know
really wealthy people and they would fly golf Streams, so
I just kind of that's always my default, Clint. When
I think of rich people flying private planes, I think
golf stream because that's what I remember. When I knew
some really wealthy people would fly private planes, they'd always
I'm going on my golf stream. I said, okay, that
must be a rich person's plane. Yeah. Parrito writes, Since
(27:08):
says all those gas bags, saying that he Hunter is
better than Otani, since football is a tougher sport, bunch
of losers with very weak takes, and many of them
are your buddies. Then he wants me to rip the
people that are my buddies. Okay, yeah, thank you. I'm
(27:28):
glad you're a fan. I'm glad you're a fan. Sean says,
I just watched Steph Curry's flagrant foul call. What a blank,
blank blank call. I was expecting McHale clotheslining Rambus in
the finals and this wasn't even a tech. The entire
league is sucked, Sean. Did you really need, Sean? Did
(27:50):
you need to have a Steph Curry revelation to know
that the way the NBA is these days? First of all,
I tried to watch that Golden State Lahoma City game.
I had it on the background. I was getting ready
for the show, and I'm trying to avoid the NBA.
I'm not even do it. I'm not, but I had it,
and I feel like I need to have That was
kind of a big game. I was like, okay, I'll
(28:11):
have that on the background. I wasn't really paying that
close attention to it. The game was pretty lopsided. There
was about six minutes I think to go in the
fourth quarter, and they did. They did a review for
Oklahoma City. There was a timeout, they then there was
another timeout and then Steve Kerr did a review. They
were back to back reviews in a game that was lopsided.
(28:34):
A lopsided game. Mind you was six minutes to go. Yeah,
that's freaking wonderful. Let's go to the phones, and who
do we have here? He ain't even you got a full board.
Let's say hello to E Dog who's on Long Island. Hello,
E Dog, Welcome.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Ben.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Here's the question right away. I go to a program
as you know him well, and there's nice Jewish men, say,
comedian that goes there. Trny gets his name.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Well, no, you're not. You're not supposed to name the
people that go to to the alcoholic anonymous and that
you're not. You're not supposed to name.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
It's not he want. I asked him, like he measured
his name.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
He said, yeah, all right, but you understand like we don't.
We don't know who you are, and we don't want
to get sued. You know, we were definitely don't want
get How about we put a disclaimer? Can we put it?
Will you allow us to put a disclaimer?
Speaker 5 (29:31):
What's this gamer?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Okay, So this is the part where I say that
we at Fox Sports Radio do not know E Dog
in real life. He's a character on the show. We
have no way of validating or verifying any of the
claims that the dog is about to make on six
hundred radio stations. Is that accurate? Do you understand that
e dog that we we love you? We just don't.
You could say anything. You could say Donald Trump was
(29:54):
at that thing for all we know, right, I mean,
who knows.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
No, the guy's name is Andrew and he the man
Stewards guy.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Like, oh, I know I've heard Andrew dice Clay name
is Andrew Silverstein. Also, well, no, no, that whole line, sec,
I know you're making that up. Did he do any nursery?
Did he do any nursery rhymes while he was in there?
Did he know? Wasn't that? Wasn't that his big back
in the day, he did nursery rhymes? I remember Andrew
(30:21):
dice Clay.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
I can't repeat some of the things he said. He's
a funny guy, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Yeah, tell me call the show. How about that? Tell
me call the show.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
I love the one last thing my dad. I love
him to death. When he said this, when a doctor
when a woman is giving work to a baby, is
there as the baby getting hit by the doctor. He
should make nice?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
All right? Again? You're you're the king of non sequeris you?
You love it. Where's Melissa? Where's Melissa?
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Oh she's then from the program for a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
No, okay, see, I thought you were supposed to go
out with Melissa on money Day, right, we haven't. Didn't
call yesterday, I don't think.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Yeah, I member of the programs. You want me a pretzel?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
And oh that's right, you did tell that. Okay, you
did tell the story. All right, I got you. It
was a soft pretzel, not a hard pretzel. A soft pretzel,
all right, I believe in that.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Once you mentioned the hard pretzels, they saw that too.
But I need to go for the oj.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
To barn juice.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
But how about those b Bay package.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
They're undefeated, they just lost on Monday night. You're talking
out of your tukas you're talking out of your tucks
Eat Dog, you're trying to get more airtime. You don't
have a lot of content, admit it, right now, eat Dog,
you don't have a lot to say. So now you're like,
let me just how about the Green Bay play? You
know what that's like. That's like when I go out
with with relatives who I know that it's fine. So
(31:46):
I have relatives that aren't sports people and if they're
trying to they think that I only want to talk
about sports because my job, right, you probably know the
same thing. Mark my my engine, and so I'll go out.
I'll be a social man and people that aren't sports.
So who do you think is going to the super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
If I know that, I would.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Not be here.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
I think the Ravens are gonna win the super Bowl
because now they get Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Oh my god, Oh that's a terrible Yeah, because Lamar
is so good in the player, He's so good in
the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Lamar, I want to make a bold statement the next.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
All right, we'd like to alert all the affiliates. A
bold statement coming from a guy that claimed to run
into Andrew Dice Clay go ahead, anyway, all right, I
gotta you're annoying. I gotta go, thank you, go all right? There,
there there is the button. Here you go. There he goes.
All right, let's go. Now, a guy that will definitely
(32:42):
not annoy me. Hollering James, Hello, hollering James, big Ben.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I ended up blowing to Pickle. How come Coop has
decide who just played too much or not enough? That's
not fair. He just qualified me.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Hold well, calm down, James, I know you're upset. Uh
let me. Let me address this as the leader of
the malle militia. So we like to give the illusion, James,
that there's more. Can you turn the radio down please?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
There you go, okay.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
So we like to give the illusion, because it's theater
of the mind of radio that we don't have the
same three people play every game. We like to pretend
like there's actually a large audience of people that want
to play the games, even though some nights it's the
same free people. So we like to give the illusion
that there's other people. You know, It's kind of like
when you were a kid, James, and you had to
share and they talked about sharing. Remember that when you
(33:35):
were a little kid.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Yeah, sure, your hands Mary Joe Corpeland, but you know
what she is a homeless shelter Goop picks them homeless.
He's got another take comments.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
We're getting angry, James, who said anything about you being homeless?
He said, you're homeless? We didn't You didn't pull.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Them that that was flexious one time, he thought, So
you let't surrendered, Dubold.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
I've literally never fallen for your felexis gag. It's obvious
it's you every time. That's why I hang up when
you say it's you.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I think it's a plexis. Hey, James, can you do?
Can you do like a blind Scott impersonation? What would
that be like?
Speaker 3 (34:15):
There's just blond Scott?
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Say Ben, what's going on? Was? Hey?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Blind Scott? What do you think of James doing an
impersonation of you? Scott?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (34:26):
That sounds like blood.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
That does sound like me a little bit. He's not homewards.
He's a welfare queen.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
He's not well, that's coming from another welfare. I mean,
without without Obama phones, no one would call the show
my god.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
But the thing with holler at James is he's like
a golden ticket for people who have Cooper.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
All right, all right, he's I think Scott was ripping you, James.
Anything you want to say to Scott, I gotta go
any you want to say.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
To him, Yes, like the Bears.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
All right, you're loser, Scott, You're a loser like the bears.
According to hollering James, I wanted to pass that on, James.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
You wanted me to let you do about the bear
and you clogged the toilet like one.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
He's like, all right, he says you he the size
of a bear and you clogged toilets like one is
uh to toilet de bears use toilets today, James, No.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Yeah, because you're an outdoors man, you know, poopy outdoors, all.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Right, Scott, he says you're you go poopy outdoors is
what he said.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
You service men doubt.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
All right? There we go. All right, there that ends
the bit right there. That'll be on the podcast. Scott
always has to push it over the line line. Scott,
very nice, all right, Just josh As you should change
e dog's name to e docs. He's terrible. There you go,

starting to change your opinion on his career outlook?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
No, No, I have not changed my opinion yet. It
takes me. It takes a long time for me to
change my opinion. He's played better than I thought. I'll
give him that. He's played better than I thought. And
he's had some heroic moments here lately, which is good
and encouraging. No, I'm not. I know he's got to
worry about his hot takes every day, Rex Ryan. So

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
