Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka, it's our dub er three, our number three.
And should the Rams ram it all day or ram
it all night and pull the trigger on a rumor
trade for Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins as Matthew Stafford season
is in jeopardy, or should they stick with Jimmy Garoppolo
(00:20):
and what they have? Also, the Chicago Bears are said
to be considering the nuclear option if Illinois stadium legislation fails,
they would leave the state of Illinois. Believe it or not?
Believe it or not? And where do you fall on?
Titans quarterback cam Ward cam Ward, the number one overall pick,
(00:41):
hyping up the Titans wide receiver, says they're a top
five unit in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Will go there as well. Right now. Buckle up, buckaroo,
it's our number three.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
They are not kissing Cousins, but maybe they will become
that welcome. In beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahler Show, we are in the air, Ey are amigos,
as we are talking to you one on one through
(01:15):
the static and the noise unless there is no static
and there is no noise coast to coast, port of
the border and beyond on the vast and intendescently powerful
microphones of fs are amminating live from the whistle as
we play through the whistle. That's right right here at
(01:37):
the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Bagel Boy.
Nothing better than a fresh bagel, But you gotta get
there to crack it down. There's people making bagels right now,
and they get to smell the bagel. Maybe they sneak
one of those bagels in and they eat them. But
the man of those things great. And this portion of
the Ben Mahler Show made possible in part by our
(01:58):
friends at Express Employment Profession. Is it time for a
new job, then it's time for Express Employment Professions.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
What are you waiting for? Fork Dog?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Come on, alf quit the endless online search and list
the pros and Express never charges job seekers a fee.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Go to expresspros dot com. So I leave.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
This hour is from the National Football League. The waiting
game continues for Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh my aching back like an episode of The Huntingmooners
back in the day.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
So he has been dealing with apparent chronic back injury,
and that there is no.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Timeline for his recovery.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And if you look at his age the fact that
he hasn't been able to get out in the field,
and you start crunching the numbers, Well, this isn't looking
very good for the Rams at all. Kind of know
where this is going, right, you know where this is going.
It's not going to a good place. Not going to
a good place at all. And so we're getting to
a fork in the road.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
We're not there yet. We're not there yet. We're getting close,
getting close.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
We've got a couple of weeks here to go of
exhibition games and then that's that's it. There's a dead
week and then the NFL regular season begins. And so
we're hearing.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Some some rumblings. Hear that. That's actual sound. That's what
the rumblings sound like.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, they're scary, right, It was scary, yeah, all right,
So the the rumblings say that the Rams, the Rams
are considering considering engaging in trade conversations with the Atlanta
football team or quarterback Kirk Cousins, the longtime Viking starter
who is persona non grata in Atlanta. Michael Pennix Junior
(03:47):
has usurped usurped Kirk Cousins as the QB number one.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
They're in Jordan.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So, as of now, Kirk Cousins is the highest paid
backup quarterback in the NFL. The Rams their backup quarterback
they're playing b is a guy that started a Super Bowl,
didn't play well in it, but started a Super Bowl
for the forty nine ers back in the day. Jimmy Garoppolo.
That's right, Jimmy gy loves the porn stars. Who doesn't
(04:15):
and you know Jimmy Garoppolo right there. That is the
other option the Rams have. So let us discuss the question.
Should the Rams pull the trigger and make the deal
with the Falcons for quarterback Kirk Cousins or stick with
Jimmy g and their current quarterback room. So my observations
(04:36):
on this, I've got high school Sweethearts, Monopoly, Community Chest,
and Arby's, and we'll combine all of these things together,
every single thing, and we are gonna make the gobbagool.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
We're gonna make the gobbagoles.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
We're gonna all right, So to kick off here, if
you say, hey, you want this to happen, I am
I sitting here and in love with the idea of
Kirk Cousins being the Rams quarterback. No could the Rams
win a Super Bowl with Kirk Cousins if he's the guy.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yes, Oh what are you talking about? Are you idiots?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Told me that they couldn't win with Matthew Stafford or
stat patter or whatever you called him.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well, he's a de loser. He played with the Lion,
they won a super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
They got to a Super Bowl with Jared Goff, who sucks. Also,
So do I believe that McVeigh could coach up Kirk Cousins. Yes, absolute,
And so that's why I believe the scales are leaning
towards this because I have no confidence that the Rams
believe Stafford is going to be able to make it
through the season. I've been messaging some of the people
(05:46):
over there and they're like, well, they think he's gonna
come back, but they don't know if the.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Backs are going to hold up.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And it's this ticking time bomb situation that even if
Stafford does return, does he get hurt in the first
series of the first game of the regular season and
then they got their pants down?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
What are they gonna do? So Cousins is.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Insurance, right, He's like the way it's like wobbly, low level,
crappy insurance, like crappy insurance.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You don't buy that insurance.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Because it's good insurance because it's sexy. You buy it
because listen, the back is exposed and you don't want
to be stuck it. It's like driving an O too
Camray with a cracked engine.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
It's that thing we talked about. It's like, we don't
want to be that. You want to be that person
doing that. And so that would be Jimmy G. Because
the other concern the Rams said, well, Garoppolo, they can
win with Garoppolo. But Garoppolo is also made out of
cookie dough. All right, He's a delicious cookie dough, but
it's cookie dough. And so you got Stafford, oh my
(06:51):
aching back. And then you got Jimmy G, who if
he has a problem with one of his cuticles, he's
got a miss two games, so Stafford blessed him. This
battered spine is one big, bad wolf sneeze at Chew
away from blowing the Ram house down and going on
(07:11):
a nice long sabbatical. So you do have to have
a plan B that does not involve Jimmy Garoppo, you know,
because Garoppolo will also be throwing hospital balls at some
point as well. The other part of this is you
have the family ties, and if you go in the
hot tub time machine way back, Cousins and McVeigh are
(07:33):
like high school sweethearts who still text each other on birthdays.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
You know, it's like McVeigh if you believe the legend.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I don't know how much of this is true
and how much of this is bull crap, but the
legend is that McVeigh taught Cousins how to read defenses,
and I taught him how to tie his cleats into
chew bubblegum at the same time with the old Washington Redskins,
because they were together, McVeigh was the upstart coach. And
at that time, remember the Redskins had RG three, who's
(08:05):
just like an annoying guy on social media now, but
RG three, and then they also drafted that same year Cousins.
Cousin was the backup and then McVeigh worked with Cousins.
And so it's always been not what you know, it's
not what you know, but it's who you know, and
it's the relationships and everyone's involved with everyone else.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
And the rams.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Also you've got Raheem Morris, who's an old disciple of.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
McVeigh, the head coach of the Falcons.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
There's also some other coaches, some other executives in Atlanta
that have ties to the Rams, and so it makes sense.
And the Falcons would love to get rid of Cousins
because you don't want to have the highest payton backup
quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
You don't want that, you don't.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
And so Cousins knows the McVeigh playbook, and you know
he knows them. I guess the McVeigh tree, and it's
like a squirrel knows branches.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
McVeigh and Cousins know each other. So it makes them
all right.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Now, furthermore, we go to Chicago and a story that
Yaphemi is not going to like. And Eugene in Chicago,
the NFL team in the Windy City looking to leave
Soldier Field. Now that that's not new, that's not new. The
plan has been well, originally they were going to go
to these suburbs. Then they were going to build a
new stadium downtown. Now to talk in Chicago, based on
(09:22):
boots on the ground is they're going to go back
to the Arlington Heights, which is an old racetrack site,
and that's where they're going to build the new Bears
stadium out in the suburbs.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Where most of the season ticket holders live.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
However, there is a third in the punch Bowl. Third
in the punch Bowl turns out, based on media reports
that the Bears would like to get their hands on
a bunch of taxpayer money from the taxpayers in the
state of Illinois. Well, the governor of the aliginied state
(09:53):
has indicated, at least publicly, that he will not will
not be forking over a bunch of public money to
help facilitate the Bears getting their new stadium, whether it's
in downtown or whether it ends up in the suburbs, and.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Either way in Illinois.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So that has led to some whispers that the Bears
could go to what's being called the nuclear option and
say bye bye, I know, g manches upset, bye bye
to Illinois altogether and go where Where would they go?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Would they go to Iowa? No? Would they go to Wisconsin? No?
Would they go to Missouri? No? How about the Hoosier State?
Who's your daddy? Wait a minute, they already have the Colts.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
That's not a big enough state for two teams population wise. Well,
if you've been to Chicago or you've traveled through that
part of the country. You know, there is a scenario
where the Bears could absolutely move to Gary, Indiana. There
are some lawmakers in Indiana that are preparing legislation to
(11:08):
give them the bag. What's in the bank, handout, handout money, money,
Mady money, money, Madi. All right, So question the Bears again.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Just to set this up again.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
The Bears are said to be considering in a political
bruhaha with the governor of Illinois.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
They're considering the nuclear option.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
If they don't get the tax breaks they want, they
would go to Indiana.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Believe it or not. Believe it or not.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
So I am a believer. I am Benny the believer
on this one. Benny the believer.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Here's why.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
All right, So this is the NFL. We're talking NFL.
We're not talking about.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
A church bakesale. We're not right. And I know a
lot of.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
The fans, you know, and I used to be this
way before I became a jaded talk shows people are sentimental, right,
and some people think the teams are sentimental.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Spider Alert, The teams are not sentimental. They are.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Sharks. They're sharks that haven't eaten. They're sharks that wear
expensive suits and they circle the public purse. They want
that purse, and it's like chum in the water, and
you think the Bears are some kind of civic institution.
I get this from people from time to time. We
(12:32):
talk about these stories. It happens every couple of years.
The team threatens to leave, and there is a percentage
of fans that think this is like the fire department
or the Chicago fire department. Can't leave Chicago, but they
think it's like a library. Well, no, you can't have
the library. It's our library, pollyse Paulice. That's the bedtime
(12:54):
story that the professional sports world, the industrial complex of
professional sports likes to. He'll tell you while they are
pickpocketing you and taking all your money, they've got your
wallet right now.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Ha ha.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Joke's on you, ha ha. And the franchise is listen.
I'm just whether you like it or not, that's the
way it is. They are not built on loyalty.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Now. They want you to be loyal as a fan.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
They want you to be loyal and they use a
lot of weasel terminology, but they're just built on leverage.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's always about the leverage.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
The most famous example, and our colleague Steve Hartman, who
works here on the weekends, used to work for Al Davis.
And Steve Hartman. I've known Steve, you know, I was
an intern. He was working in San Diego, you know,
the loose cannons back in the day. And Hartman's great,
but he always tells the story about how Al Davis
got a call. He got a call from this little
(13:47):
town in southern California called Irwindale, and because Al wanted
a stadium in LA and so this like the mayor,
I think it was the mayor the city council said here,
we want you to come to Erwindale with got this
big giant hole near the two ten freeway.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
We want to put a stadium there, the Raiders Stadium.
We'll build it right here. And Al was like, I
don't want to go to Irwindale.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
And then the mayor the politicians like, we'll pay ten
million dollars for a news commerce.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
So a'l put on a nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Because it was the nineteen eighties, or maybe it was
the nineties. I think it was late eighties, but I'll
put on a jacket a starter Raiders jacket that said
Irwindale on it had the Raiders' logo, went out there,
got paid like the five to ten million dollars was it,
and they that's it. They took the money, taxpayers money.
That's an example, right, they're not hugging the community whatever
(14:39):
this is Bears we're talking about. They're holding it hostage
and the team, I get it. They want the Monopoly
community chest in this case, the Bears. They want the
Monopoly community chest, not the community chest thumping pride.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
They don't. They want to land on collect two hundred
every single time, every single time.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
They want that two uter bucks money, money, money, every
time they roll the dice. It's the Monopoly community chest.
You know, stadium deal, tax breaks, infrastructure upgrades. It's not
really a negotiation. It's extortion.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
But they smile, they smile and they say we're gonna
win Super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
So, Gary, Indiana, I don't know if you ever been
to Gary, Indiana.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
That is a town.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
They say it's gritty, which is another way of saying
it's on the wrong side of the track.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
So it's got more potholes than promise. At this point.
Now I heard it's gotten a little bit better. Recently,
and there's a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
According to some of my relatives who live in Chicago,
they're like, well, you know, people are moving there because
it's cheaper, and so they're getting some of that. You know,
everyone's trying to get away from the ridiculousness of paying
tons of money, where you can go somewhere just a
few miles away and pay less and you get to
live your life and have more money and stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
So and that's the thing, Gary Inianna.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
If you know the geography of Chicago, it's close enough
where you can smell that great deep dish pizza, right,
you can smell that, You can smell the Italian sandwich
is there. It's far enough away, though, to avoid the
politicians of Illinois and all the red tape.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
It's like the NFL's version of sleeping on the couch
to make a point.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Like the Bears in Indiana, they would still call themselves
the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
How could they do that? Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
The Giants and Jets play in New Jersey and they're
not called the New Jersey Jets or the New Jersey Giants.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
It's not sacrilegi it's strategy. Now nuclear option. You say
it's a nuclear option. But in the NFL, the.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Nuke is not the last resort. It's just a bargaining chip.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
That's all it is, all right, Now, last thing to
the music city we go? Where rookie quarterback at number
one overall pick. That's right, cam Ward, Tennessee Titans has
not played a real down of NFL football, not played
a real down of NFL football. And he's already walking
(17:06):
to the podium and telling us, I think, honestly, I
have a top five.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Receiving core in the NFL. That's a quote. So where
do you fall Which side of the aisle do you
fall on? On?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Cam Ward hyping up the Tennessee Titans pass catchers. So
I jotted down on my scorecard, I jotted down embellishment
and in the side of the aisle I'm on is
hyperbole capital H hyperbole, capitol H hyperble. Cam Ward sounds like,
you know, I think he's he's gonna be a great quote.
(17:38):
I hope he's okay. I don't think he's gonna be
very good. I hope he is good because I know
Danny and Nashville, who lives in Miami now is a
big Titans fan. Guys like that and and some of
the other guys we've had called the show over the
years from Tennessee. And I hope he's God. I think
he's gonna suck. He sounds like Flavor Flav with a
playbook here. I mean, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Life comes at you fast in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
And I can't wait till about week four when Van
Jefferson is, you know, doing wind sprints without.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Catching anything, doing a cardio game, and.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You got cam word out there realizing that he's actually
polishing turds, trying to pass it off as polishing the
Lombardi Trophy. And you look at the weapons if you do,
and this is not a list for Terry and England,
but it's a big board. If you look at the
current depth chart of the Tennessee Times, why don't we
do that? What do you say?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Shall we? Okay?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
So Van Jefferson three letters, M, I D MID. That's
what the kids say.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Mid.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's like a YELP. My wife loves YELP. I think
Yelp's you know, I'm a little skeptical. It's like a
three star Yelp review. It's okay, Tyler Lockett, good player name,
we've heard of prime years Seattle Seahawks. Tyler Lockett now,
as Alf would say, Tyler Lockett's like cottage cheese in
(18:55):
the back of your fridge with a sell by date
from last summer. And then and you got Calvin Ridley,
very talented player, very talented ball player, Calvin Ridley, absolutely,
and he's got so much baggage that the amount of
fees he's got to pace like it's like baggage at
JFK Airport at Christmas or Lax.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Or Logan or any big or hair any of the
big airport. So it's it's like saying, hey, what cam
Ward's doing is like saying, hey, my garage band is
top five because, uh, the drummer of my garage band
once met Dave Grohl at an Arby's and we had
some roast beef together, and it's like, Okay, that's that's
(19:36):
a great it's a great tale. It's a shaggy dog story.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
And you're still playing in the basement of your parents' home,
so you're you're you're doing great there. It's a classic
NFL training camp stuff. Everyone's undefeated, right, every every unit's
gonna be elite. I really like the offseason we've had.
Oh my god, these guys are so talented, they're gonna
be breakouts stars, right, every player is ready to shock
(20:02):
the world, and then we get.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
To about week two, it's like, holy crap, they suck.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Meanwhile, cam Ward's out there, He's like an infomercial Pitchman,
Set it and forget it, the Great Ron Poppi arrest
in peace.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Ron, Set it and forget it. And that's what he's doing, right.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
He's pitching his wide receivers and there if everything goes right,
they're middle class, right, and they're only middle class if.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Like six or seven NFL teams go.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Bankrupt their middle class, I'm telling you, by week eight
of the NFL season, cam Ward's gonna be up there
saying we just got to keep working, we're gonna get better,
We're close, We're close, right, and be throwing checkdowns because
I'm sure you know, at Tyler Lockett's age, he'll get hurt,
so he'll be out. Van Jefferson has never been all
(20:51):
that good, so why would he be good now? And
Calvin Ridley will be distracted because he's gonna be worried
about his fourteen parlay and he wants to if he's
gonna win that, and he's he'll be looking at the
out of town scoreboard. It is the Ben Mallor Show.

Castles in the air.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
And for the reading of the questions, I go to
Justin Cooper.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
All right, Ben, We're gonna start with one from Ryan here.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Hi. Ryan.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
He wants to know for everyone, could any of you
finish the nine nine to nine challenge? It is apparently
nine dogs, nine beers, nine innings.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, so the hot dog thing I don't believe would
be a problem now it might be, but back in
the day.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah, I it's harder now.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I think that's harder now because baseball games are quicker
back in the old, back in the old days, Red
Sox game be five hours, Dodger game will be four hours.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Now, you've got about two and a half hours.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
So could you eat nine hot dogs and drink nine
beers into Yeah, it's close.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I think I could do it, Lorena, Absolutely, I could.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
I eat so much food it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
That is true, And you don't get any weight, which
really annoys me.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
What about you, Kooperloo, there's a zero chance the rain
I could do that.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
And she'd take one bite of every hot right exactly
what counts.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
I would not be able to do it. I could
do the nine dogs, but nine beers I would not
be able to years.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
And two and a half hours, you'd be laying on
the ground. What's you know what?
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Lee?
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Lee calls that a Tuesday.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
I guess, I guess this one's just for Lorena. It
is from a GABS and they say, why did Loraina
join a sports show if she doesn't know anything about sports?
Why not a music radio station. Well, it's funny they
hire board ops wherever.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Because technically they don't all talk on the air. But
I do.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
I like sports. I'm getting better, but I do prefer
music radio to be honest.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Oh, body blow, body blow body celebrities.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
But you know what I think, athletes celebrities.
Speaker 6 (37:43):
I'm finding a nice niche between celebrities and sports with
their dating. So it's it's kind of a nice little window.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
And yes, LORAINI just to noow, she's not happy? All right,
what's next? Where are we have here? What I said,
that's what it sounded like to me.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
I don't know, Alf the alien opiner. This one is
just for you, Ben, He says, do you know what
LARP is?
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Larp?
Speaker 6 (38:04):
Yeah, it's an achrona.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
No, what is it like?
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (38:08):
He doesn't give the answer, but I know that it's
live action role play. Oh like people battle.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yes, like gods players like yeah, like they like.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
They pretend that they're like Civil War.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, you know. I was actually at Gettysburg.
I visited the Gettysburg site and they had it was
pretty cool and there were some people doing that.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
I mean, I think the one he's referring to is
more like the nerdy kind where you pretend you're like
you're a wizard or a Star Wars guy. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
but no that's not but they're all live action role
play anyway, all right.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
But whatever gets you through the day. If you want
to dress like a furry, it just don't bother me,
do you think?
Speaker 6 (38:48):
Uh? I believe this one's probably just for uh so
I guess. I guess Lorena, you could you could use
it for uh with your with your baby daddy. I
forty ian would like to know. Did your in laws
like you when you first met? And did your folks
like your significant significant other the first time they met?
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yeah? Yeah, absolutely, I have had my in laws. I
get along with everybody. There's only one. I hate everyone else.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
In school and uh yeah, my mom and my dad
loved when I met my wife, they loved her, and
I was very worried about that my mom.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
But yeah, what about you a cool?
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (39:25):
You know, I get along with them.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Uh oh.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
No, I mean her her dad is just like the
complete opposite of me, like politically.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
And oh more like Justin and Cincinnati.
Speaker 6 (39:41):
Worse worse, oh worse. Oh yeah, uh but I mean
it's still it's it's fine, you know, it's good. And
and my my family all love her.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, they're cool. I mean they're not like, not really
sports people. So they asked me the awkward who's gonna
win the World Series. Who's gonna win like that guy Lorrena.
Speaker 6 (39:59):
Yeah, has had a great connection with my baby daddy's parents.
I still call his mom mom. We still talk and
say I love you and stuff.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
It's nice, that's cool, that's nice. All right, what's next,
we'd ask Ben quickly.
Speaker 6 (40:10):
Ferd Dog wants to know what is the therm set
set to in the studio? And you know in your studio, man.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
It is at sixty two degrees because it won't go
lower than that. Oh my god, yeah.
Speaker 6 (40:21):
I think we're at seventy right now.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Oh, come on, seventy.
Speaker 6 (40:25):
I need a blankets. No, sixty two is an ice box.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
No it's not.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
I want a colder. The damn air conditioner won't go
below sixty
Boom, Shaka laka, it's our dub er three, our number three.
And should the Rams ram it all day or ram
it all night and pull the trigger on a rumor
trade for Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins as Matthew Stafford season
is in jeopardy, or should they stick with Jimmy Garoppolo
(00:20):
and what they have? Also, the Chicago Bears are said
to be considering the nuclear option if Illinois stadium legislation fails,
they would leave the state of Illinois. Believe it or not?
Believe it or not? And where do you fall on?
Titans quarterback cam Ward cam Ward, the number one overall pick,
(00:41):
hyping up the Titans wide receiver, says they're a top
five unit in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Will go there as well. Right now. Buckle up, buckaroo,
it's our number three.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
They are not kissing Cousins, but maybe they will become
that welcome. In beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahler Show, we are in the air, Ey are amigos,
as we are talking to you one on one through
(01:15):
the static and the noise unless there is no static
and there is no noise coast to coast, port of
the border and beyond on the vast and intendescently powerful
microphones of fs are amminating live from the whistle as
we play through the whistle. That's right right here at
(01:37):
the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Bagel Boy.
Nothing better than a fresh bagel, But you gotta get
there to crack it down. There's people making bagels right now,
and they get to smell the bagel. Maybe they sneak
one of those bagels in and they eat them. But
the man of those things great. And this portion of
the Ben Mahler Show made possible in part by our
(01:58):
friends at Express Employment Profession. Is it time for a
new job, then it's time for Express Employment Professions.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
What are you waiting for? Fork Dog?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Come on, alf quit the endless online search and list
the pros and Express never charges job seekers a fee.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Go to expresspros dot com. So I leave.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
This hour is from the National Football League. The waiting
game continues for Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh my aching back like an episode of The Huntingmooners
back in the day.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
So he has been dealing with apparent chronic back injury,
and that there is no.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Timeline for his recovery.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And if you look at his age the fact that
he hasn't been able to get out in the field,
and you start crunching the numbers, Well, this isn't looking
very good for the Rams at all. Kind of know
where this is going, right, you know where this is going.
It's not going to a good place. Not going to
a good place at all. And so we're getting to
a fork in the road.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
We're not there yet. We're not there yet. We're getting close,
getting close.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
We've got a couple of weeks here to go of
exhibition games and then that's that's it. There's a dead
week and then the NFL regular season begins. And so
we're hearing.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Some some rumblings. Hear that. That's actual sound. That's what
the rumblings sound like.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, they're scary, right, It was scary, yeah, all right,
So the the rumblings say that the Rams, the Rams
are considering considering engaging in trade conversations with the Atlanta
football team or quarterback Kirk Cousins, the longtime Viking starter
who is persona non grata in Atlanta. Michael Pennix Junior
(03:47):
has usurped usurped Kirk Cousins as the QB number one.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
They're in Jordan.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So, as of now, Kirk Cousins is the highest paid
backup quarterback in the NFL. The Rams their backup quarterback
they're playing b is a guy that started a Super Bowl,
didn't play well in it, but started a Super Bowl
for the forty nine ers back in the day. Jimmy Garoppolo.
That's right, Jimmy gy loves the porn stars. Who doesn't
(04:15):
and you know Jimmy Garoppolo right there. That is the
other option the Rams have. So let us discuss the question.
Should the Rams pull the trigger and make the deal
with the Falcons for quarterback Kirk Cousins or stick with
Jimmy g and their current quarterback room. So my observations
(04:36):
on this, I've got high school Sweethearts, Monopoly, Community Chest,
and Arby's, and we'll combine all of these things together,
every single thing, and we are gonna make the gobbagool.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
We're gonna make the gobbagoles.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
We're gonna all right, So to kick off here, if
you say, hey, you want this to happen, I am
I sitting here and in love with the idea of
Kirk Cousins being the Rams quarterback. No could the Rams
win a Super Bowl with Kirk Cousins if he's the guy.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yes, Oh what are you talking about? Are you idiots?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Told me that they couldn't win with Matthew Stafford or
stat patter or whatever you called him.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well, he's a de loser. He played with the Lion,
they won a super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
They got to a Super Bowl with Jared Goff, who sucks. Also,
So do I believe that McVeigh could coach up Kirk Cousins. Yes, absolute,
And so that's why I believe the scales are leaning
towards this because I have no confidence that the Rams
believe Stafford is going to be able to make it
through the season. I've been messaging some of the people
(05:46):
over there and they're like, well, they think he's gonna
come back, but they don't know if the.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Backs are going to hold up.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And it's this ticking time bomb situation that even if
Stafford does return, does he get hurt in the first
series of the first game of the regular season and
then they got their pants down?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
What are they gonna do? So Cousins is.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Insurance, right, He's like the way it's like wobbly, low level,
crappy insurance, like crappy insurance.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You don't buy that insurance.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Because it's good insurance because it's sexy. You buy it
because listen, the back is exposed and you don't want
to be stuck it. It's like driving an O too
Camray with a cracked engine.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
It's that thing we talked about. It's like, we don't
want to be that. You want to be that person
doing that. And so that would be Jimmy G. Because
the other concern the Rams said, well, Garoppolo, they can
win with Garoppolo. But Garoppolo is also made out of
cookie dough. All right, He's a delicious cookie dough, but
it's cookie dough. And so you got Stafford, oh my
(06:51):
aching back. And then you got Jimmy G, who if
he has a problem with one of his cuticles, he's
got a miss two games, so Stafford blessed him. This
battered spine is one big, bad wolf sneeze at Chew
away from blowing the Ram house down and going on
(07:11):
a nice long sabbatical. So you do have to have
a plan B that does not involve Jimmy Garoppo, you know,
because Garoppolo will also be throwing hospital balls at some
point as well. The other part of this is you
have the family ties, and if you go in the
hot tub time machine way back, Cousins and McVeigh are
(07:33):
like high school sweethearts who still text each other on birthdays.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
You know, it's like McVeigh if you believe the legend.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I don't know how much of this is true
and how much of this is bull crap, but the
legend is that McVeigh taught Cousins how to read defenses,
and I taught him how to tie his cleats into
chew bubblegum at the same time with the old Washington Redskins,
because they were together, McVeigh was the upstart coach. And
at that time, remember the Redskins had RG three, who's
(08:05):
just like an annoying guy on social media now, but
RG three, and then they also drafted that same year Cousins.
Cousin was the backup and then McVeigh worked with Cousins.
And so it's always been not what you know, it's
not what you know, but it's who you know, and
it's the relationships and everyone's involved with everyone else.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
And the rams.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Also you've got Raheem Morris, who's an old disciple of.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
McVeigh, the head coach of the Falcons.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
There's also some other coaches, some other executives in Atlanta
that have ties to the Rams, and so it makes sense.
And the Falcons would love to get rid of Cousins
because you don't want to have the highest payton backup
quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
You don't want that, you don't.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
And so Cousins knows the McVeigh playbook, and you know
he knows them. I guess the McVeigh tree, and it's
like a squirrel knows branches.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
McVeigh and Cousins know each other. So it makes them
all right.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Now, furthermore, we go to Chicago and a story that
Yaphemi is not going to like. And Eugene in Chicago,
the NFL team in the Windy City looking to leave
Soldier Field. Now that that's not new, that's not new. The
plan has been well, originally they were going to go
to these suburbs. Then they were going to build a
new stadium downtown. Now to talk in Chicago, based on
(09:22):
boots on the ground is they're going to go back
to the Arlington Heights, which is an old racetrack site,
and that's where they're going to build the new Bears
stadium out in the suburbs.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Where most of the season ticket holders live.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
However, there is a third in the punch Bowl. Third
in the punch Bowl turns out, based on media reports
that the Bears would like to get their hands on
a bunch of taxpayer money from the taxpayers in the
state of Illinois. Well, the governor of the aliginied state
(09:53):
has indicated, at least publicly, that he will not will
not be forking over a bunch of public money to
help facilitate the Bears getting their new stadium, whether it's
in downtown or whether it ends up in the suburbs, and.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Either way in Illinois.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So that has led to some whispers that the Bears
could go to what's being called the nuclear option and
say bye bye, I know, g manches upset, bye bye
to Illinois altogether and go where Where would they go?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Would they go to Iowa? No? Would they go to Wisconsin? No?
Would they go to Missouri? No? How about the Hoosier State?
Who's your daddy? Wait a minute, they already have the Colts.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
That's not a big enough state for two teams population wise. Well,
if you've been to Chicago or you've traveled through that
part of the country. You know, there is a scenario
where the Bears could absolutely move to Gary, Indiana. There
are some lawmakers in Indiana that are preparing legislation to
(11:08):
give them the bag. What's in the bank, handout, handout money, money,
Mady money, money, Madi. All right, So question the Bears again.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Just to set this up again.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
The Bears are said to be considering in a political
bruhaha with the governor of Illinois.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
They're considering the nuclear option.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
If they don't get the tax breaks they want, they
would go to Indiana.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Believe it or not. Believe it or not.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
So I am a believer. I am Benny the believer
on this one. Benny the believer.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Here's why.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
All right, So this is the NFL. We're talking NFL.
We're not talking about.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
A church bakesale. We're not right. And I know a
lot of.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
The fans, you know, and I used to be this
way before I became a jaded talk shows people are sentimental, right,
and some people think the teams are sentimental.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Spider Alert, The teams are not sentimental. They are.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Sharks. They're sharks that haven't eaten. They're sharks that wear
expensive suits and they circle the public purse. They want
that purse, and it's like chum in the water, and
you think the Bears are some kind of civic institution.
I get this from people from time to time. We
(12:32):
talk about these stories. It happens every couple of years.
The team threatens to leave, and there is a percentage
of fans that think this is like the fire department
or the Chicago fire department. Can't leave Chicago, but they
think it's like a library. Well, no, you can't have
the library. It's our library, pollyse Paulice. That's the bedtime
(12:54):
story that the professional sports world, the industrial complex of
professional sports likes to. He'll tell you while they are
pickpocketing you and taking all your money, they've got your
wallet right now.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Ha ha.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Joke's on you, ha ha. And the franchise is listen.
I'm just whether you like it or not, that's the
way it is. They are not built on loyalty.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Now. They want you to be loyal as a fan.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
They want you to be loyal and they use a
lot of weasel terminology, but they're just built on leverage.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's always about the leverage.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
The most famous example, and our colleague Steve Hartman, who
works here on the weekends, used to work for Al Davis.
And Steve Hartman. I've known Steve, you know, I was
an intern. He was working in San Diego, you know,
the loose cannons back in the day. And Hartman's great,
but he always tells the story about how Al Davis
got a call. He got a call from this little
(13:47):
town in southern California called Irwindale, and because Al wanted
a stadium in LA and so this like the mayor,
I think it was the mayor the city council said here,
we want you to come to Erwindale with got this
big giant hole near the two ten freeway.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
We want to put a stadium there, the Raiders Stadium.
We'll build it right here. And Al was like, I
don't want to go to Irwindale.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
And then the mayor the politicians like, we'll pay ten
million dollars for a news commerce.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
So a'l put on a nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Because it was the nineteen eighties, or maybe it was
the nineties. I think it was late eighties, but I'll
put on a jacket a starter Raiders jacket that said
Irwindale on it had the Raiders' logo, went out there,
got paid like the five to ten million dollars was it,
and they that's it. They took the money, taxpayers money.
That's an example, right, they're not hugging the community whatever
(14:39):
this is Bears we're talking about. They're holding it hostage
and the team, I get it. They want the Monopoly
community chest in this case, the Bears. They want the
Monopoly community chest, not the community chest thumping pride.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
They don't. They want to land on collect two hundred
every single time, every single time.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
They want that two uter bucks money, money, money, every
time they roll the dice. It's the Monopoly community chest.
You know, stadium deal, tax breaks, infrastructure upgrades. It's not
really a negotiation. It's extortion.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
But they smile, they smile and they say we're gonna
win Super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
So, Gary, Indiana, I don't know if you ever been
to Gary, Indiana.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
That is a town.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
They say it's gritty, which is another way of saying
it's on the wrong side of the track.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
So it's got more potholes than promise. At this point.
Now I heard it's gotten a little bit better. Recently,
and there's a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
According to some of my relatives who live in Chicago,
they're like, well, you know, people are moving there because
it's cheaper, and so they're getting some of that. You know,
everyone's trying to get away from the ridiculousness of paying
tons of money, where you can go somewhere just a
few miles away and pay less and you get to
live your life and have more money and stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
So and that's the thing, Gary Inianna.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
If you know the geography of Chicago, it's close enough
where you can smell that great deep dish pizza, right,
you can smell that, You can smell the Italian sandwich
is there. It's far enough away, though, to avoid the
politicians of Illinois and all the red tape.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
It's like the NFL's version of sleeping on the couch
to make a point.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Like the Bears in Indiana, they would still call themselves
the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
How could they do that? Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
The Giants and Jets play in New Jersey and they're
not called the New Jersey Jets or the New Jersey Giants.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
It's not sacrilegi it's strategy. Now nuclear option. You say
it's a nuclear option. But in the NFL, the.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Nuke is not the last resort. It's just a bargaining chip.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
That's all it is, all right, Now, last thing to
the music city we go? Where rookie quarterback at number
one overall pick. That's right, cam Ward, Tennessee Titans has
not played a real down of NFL football, not played
a real down of NFL football. And he's already walking
(17:06):
to the podium and telling us, I think, honestly, I
have a top five.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Receiving core in the NFL. That's a quote. So where
do you fall Which side of the aisle do you
fall on? On?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Cam Ward hyping up the Tennessee Titans pass catchers. So
I jotted down on my scorecard, I jotted down embellishment
and in the side of the aisle I'm on is
hyperbole capital H hyperbole, capitol H hyperble. Cam Ward sounds like,
you know, I think he's he's gonna be a great quote.
(17:38):
I hope he's okay. I don't think he's gonna be
very good. I hope he is good because I know
Danny and Nashville, who lives in Miami now is a
big Titans fan. Guys like that and and some of
the other guys we've had called the show over the
years from Tennessee. And I hope he's God. I think
he's gonna suck. He sounds like Flavor Flav with a
playbook here. I mean, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Life comes at you fast in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
And I can't wait till about week four when Van
Jefferson is, you know, doing wind sprints without.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Catching anything, doing a cardio game, and.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You got cam word out there realizing that he's actually
polishing turds, trying to pass it off as polishing the
Lombardi Trophy. And you look at the weapons if you do,
and this is not a list for Terry and England,
but it's a big board. If you look at the
current depth chart of the Tennessee Times, why don't we
do that? What do you say?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Shall we? Okay?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
So Van Jefferson three letters, M, I D MID. That's
what the kids say.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Mid.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's like a YELP. My wife loves YELP. I think
Yelp's you know, I'm a little skeptical. It's like a
three star Yelp review. It's okay, Tyler Lockett, good player name,
we've heard of prime years Seattle Seahawks. Tyler Lockett now,
as Alf would say, Tyler Lockett's like cottage cheese in
(18:55):
the back of your fridge with a sell by date
from last summer. And then and you got Calvin Ridley,
very talented player, very talented ball player, Calvin Ridley, absolutely,
and he's got so much baggage that the amount of
fees he's got to pace like it's like baggage at
JFK Airport at Christmas or Lax.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Or Logan or any big or hair any of the
big airport. So it's it's like saying, hey, what cam
Ward's doing is like saying, hey, my garage band is
top five because, uh, the drummer of my garage band
once met Dave Grohl at an Arby's and we had
some roast beef together, and it's like, Okay, that's that's
(19:36):
a great it's a great tale. It's a shaggy dog story.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
And you're still playing in the basement of your parents' home,
so you're you're you're doing great there. It's a classic
NFL training camp stuff. Everyone's undefeated, right, every every unit's
gonna be elite. I really like the offseason we've had.
Oh my god, these guys are so talented, they're gonna
be breakouts stars, right, every player is ready to shock
(20:02):
the world, and then we get.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
To about week two, it's like, holy crap, they suck.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Meanwhile, cam Ward's out there, He's like an infomercial Pitchman,
Set it and forget it, the Great Ron Poppi arrest
in peace.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Ron, Set it and forget it. And that's what he's doing, right.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
He's pitching his wide receivers and there if everything goes right,
they're middle class, right, and they're only middle class if.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Like six or seven NFL teams go.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Bankrupt their middle class, I'm telling you, by week eight
of the NFL season, cam Ward's gonna be up there
saying we just got to keep working, we're gonna get better,
We're close, We're close, right, and be throwing checkdowns because
I'm sure you know, at Tyler Lockett's age, he'll get hurt,
so he'll be out. Van Jefferson has never been all
(20:51):
that good, so why would he be good now? And
Calvin Ridley will be distracted because he's gonna be worried
about his fourteen parlay and he wants to if he's
gonna win that, and he's he'll be looking at the
out of town scoreboard. It is the Ben Mallor Show.

Yeah. Well, another thing that I was going to tell you, Mensor.
People want people want to hear, and you know, coming
back with Lorraine, people will talk to versus Lorena. We
want to do a thing for NFL season. People want
to hear Poppy pick them Lorena, I'll love her, bring
her back on here.

No, no one, No one wants that.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
I love that. He acts like I'm the guest.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
No one. I haven't heard anyone. I check my email
every day.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Most of it's from Blind Scott or Joey the Bellman
or no, well you're wrong, man.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
So people want to fade against Poppy's a kick and
go against them. That's fine. You know, they can do whatever.
People want to hear that. So you know maybe, I mean,
I know, Benny versus a penny, you're doing something else
with it, so maybe something new this year, like oh
you know you versus me?
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Or okay, all right, thank you, let's go to hollering James.
Hollering James.
Speaker 1 (30:39):

you wouldn't call up. But you're calling up now, and
you want to just like Poppy took a bow for
the Podres, you want everyone to dance with the racing
sausages there in Milwaukee, right, the brons and all that.
Speaker 3 (32:15):

I still would call, and I have not called.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
That is a lie. You have not called.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
I would say what is going on? And I would
pitch a bit and I would be on your side
to uh move them to I don't know, San Diego
with Poppy.

the Brewers play. I'm told they actually practiced bunting.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Castles in the air.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
And for the reading of the questions, I go to
Justin Cooper.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
All right, Ben, We're gonna start with one from Ryan here.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Hi. Ryan.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
He wants to know for everyone, could any of you
finish the nine nine to nine challenge? It is apparently
nine dogs, nine beers, nine innings.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, so the hot dog thing I don't believe would
be a problem now it might be, but back in
the day.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah, I it's harder now.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I think that's harder now because baseball games are quicker
back in the old, back in the old days, Red
Sox game be five hours, Dodger game will be four hours.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Now, you've got about two and a half hours.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
So could you eat nine hot dogs and drink nine
beers into Yeah, it's close.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I think I could do it, Lorena, Absolutely, I could.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
I eat so much food it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
That is true, And you don't get any weight, which
really annoys me.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
What about you, Kooperloo, there's a zero chance the rain
I could do that.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
And she'd take one bite of every hot right exactly
what counts.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
I would not be able to do it. I could
do the nine dogs, but nine beers I would not
be able to years.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
And two and a half hours, you'd be laying on
the ground. What's you know what?
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Lee?
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Lee calls that a Tuesday.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
I guess, I guess this one's just for Lorena. It
is from a GABS and they say, why did Loraina
join a sports show if she doesn't know anything about sports?
Why not a music radio station. Well, it's funny they
hire board ops wherever.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Because technically they don't all talk on the air. But
I do.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
I like sports. I'm getting better, but I do prefer
music radio to be honest.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Oh, body blow, body blow body celebrities.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
But you know what I think, athletes celebrities.
Speaker 6 (37:43):
I'm finding a nice niche between celebrities and sports with
their dating. So it's it's kind of a nice little window.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
And yes, LORAINI just to noow, she's not happy? All right,
what's next? Where are we have here? What I said,
that's what it sounded like to me.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
I don't know, Alf the alien opiner. This one is
just for you, Ben, He says, do you know what
LARP is?
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Larp?
Speaker 6 (38:04):
Yeah, it's an achrona.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
No, what is it like?
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (38:08):
He doesn't give the answer, but I know that it's
live action role play. Oh like people battle.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yes, like gods players like yeah, like they like.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
They pretend that they're like Civil War.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, you know. I was actually at Gettysburg.
I visited the Gettysburg site and they had it was
pretty cool and there were some people doing that.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
I mean, I think the one he's referring to is
more like the nerdy kind where you pretend you're like
you're a wizard or a Star Wars guy. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
but no that's not but they're all live action role
play anyway, all right.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
But whatever gets you through the day. If you want
to dress like a furry, it just don't bother me,
do you think?
Speaker 6 (38:48):
Uh? I believe this one's probably just for uh so
I guess. I guess Lorena, you could you could use
it for uh with your with your baby daddy. I
forty ian would like to know. Did your in laws
like you when you first met? And did your folks
like your significant significant other the first time they met?
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yeah? Yeah, absolutely, I have had my in laws. I
get along with everybody. There's only one. I hate everyone else.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
In school and uh yeah, my mom and my dad
loved when I met my wife, they loved her, and
I was very worried about that my mom.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
But yeah, what about you a cool?
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (39:25):
You know, I get along with them.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Uh oh.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
No, I mean her her dad is just like the
complete opposite of me, like politically.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
And oh more like Justin and Cincinnati.
Speaker 6 (39:41):
Worse worse, oh worse. Oh yeah, uh but I mean
it's still it's it's fine, you know, it's good. And
and my my family all love her.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, they're cool. I mean they're not like, not really
sports people. So they asked me the awkward who's gonna
win the World Series. Who's gonna win like that guy Lorrena.
Speaker 6 (39:59):
Yeah, has had a great connection with my baby daddy's parents.
I still call his mom mom. We still talk and
say I love you and stuff.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
It's nice, that's cool, that's nice. All right, what's next,
we'd ask Ben quickly.
Speaker 6 (40:10):
Ferd Dog wants to know what is the therm set
set to in the studio? And you know in your studio, man.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
It is at sixty two degrees because it won't go
lower than that. Oh my god, yeah.
Speaker 6 (40:21):
I think we're at seventy right now.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Oh, come on, seventy.
Speaker 6 (40:25):
I need a blankets. No, sixty two is an ice box.
Speaker 2 (40:29):

Speaker 1 (40:29):
I want a colder. The damn air conditioner won't go
below sixty
