Speaker 1 (00:00):
The real mistake by the lake. Wel come in. It's
our number three, our number three. And NFL merchandise Sales update.
NFL merchandise Sales Update. What is the lesson from Shader
Sanders having the fifth most jersey sales in the entire NFL.
(00:21):
He's the third string quarterback on the Browns and yet
he's number five in the entire NFL and jersey sales. Also,
where are you at on these new NFL sideline hats
for twenty twenty five that have popped up.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Around the league.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And does Steve Sarkisian and College Football does his injury
spin on arch manning work for you will go there
as well? Right now here, it is our number three.
Make way for the merchman. Huh. Welcome In the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Fellow taxpayers, as we are spinning and grinning coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the vast and wonderfully
powerful microphones of FSR, am monating live from the Mecca,
the Mecca of the Mallard Militia, from the world famous
(01:22):
Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Danny in Nashville.
Who signs off on that message. This portion of the
Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible in part by
our friends at Express Employment Professionals. Now, business fluctuations make
running your manufacturing business complex. I know Alps had a
(01:43):
devil of a time on that, and so is Ferg Dog.
But staffing your business does not have to be let
Express Employment Professionals provide the workforce you need. Go to
expresspros dot com to find the location near you. That's
expresspros dot com. So our lead this hour from the
(02:03):
Merchandise department. Now we can talk more about the wild
Monday Night game. You watched it, you know you heard
the score here the moments ago, the Vikings who were
on life support. It was like a religious revival. They
woke up just in time. In the fourth quarter, the
cast of characters turned things around and all of a sudden,
the Vikings beat the Bears. So wild finish, considering how
(02:27):
dominating the start was for the Bears.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But we're not gonna talk about that.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Instead, the NFL Players Association, the NFL Marketing Arm, all
these people sold. They announced the top selling jerseys in
the off season. The top selling jerseys announced the seasons
obviously beginning now we're one week end of the season,
and this is always a good test to see where
the hearts, minds, and souls of people are. So at
(02:52):
the top, it's what you would expect, right, You've got
Sequon Barkley, Eagle fans, the Birds, Sequon Barkley coming off
a Super Bowl win in Philadelphia, so he is number
one at the very number of the King of All Jerseys.
(03:13):
Jalen Hurts, that's my quarterback. Jalen Hurts is right behind him,
so that makes sense. You're like, okay, we're fine. And
then you've got after that Commanders breakout rookie Jaden Daniels,
who's next up, followed by Josh Allen, Bill's Mafia. All right,
Bill's Moby at number four. That's fine. But then this
(03:33):
is where things get a little wonkee. This is where
things get oldwonkee. So after Josh Allen, who won the
MVP and was at number four, you figured most people
already have a Josh Allen jersey if that's your thing,
if that's your deal, because he's been around for a while,
he's been productive and all that.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Like Robbie.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
According to Justin and Cincinnati Robbie the Mariner fan is
a Josh Allen fanboy has seventeen Josh Allen jerseys. Justin
told me that seventeen. But that's not about that's not
about what we're going to talk about right now. Instead, it's
number five, number five.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Five. Yeah, you know who that is? Maybe not now
you don't know the answer, Schadure Sanders.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
What?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh m gee, that's right?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
The same Shouldar Sanders, who is number five in Jersey
sales and number three on the Cleveland Brown Depth chart.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Number that is not a misprint, That is not a typo.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You've got Joe Flacco and I believe Dylan Gabriel, and
then after that, you've got number five in the entire
NFL in Jersey sales, should Sanders.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
So let us discuss the question. This is a teachable moment.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
So the question is what's the lesson in Shadur Sanders
having the fifth most Jersey sales in the entire NFL.
So I've got Tinseltown, Pentagon and Toys r US and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make mini corn dogs. Delicious Mini corn
(05:11):
dogs is what we're going to make so a to
answer the question. The lesson on why should ear Sanders
is number five in the entire NFL.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Is The word is skullduggery. That is the word here,
skulled Dougrey.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
This is why sports are stupid and also why they're
so great at the same time, and why I keep
coming in here and making the long trip into the
studios because this kind of stuff like winning doesn't matter.
I was of the generation. I know, generations after me,
you're not supposed to win. You just try really hard.
But I was of the generation that you're supposed to win,
and that's what matters. And wins and losses, wins and
(05:45):
bleeply bleep blusses. I know that's changed a lite. This
is great proof of that that winning doesn't matter all
the time, that the depth chart doesn't matter, that playing
well doesn't matter. Hell playing doesn't even matter. It is
a master class in the power of marketing and human nature.
(06:05):
You tie those two things together, and I present to
you example a Schaduur Sanders. Right, this is that old
line from Tinseltown, the man who shot liberty balance. And
when the legend becomes the fact, you print the legend
and the legend is that Shadur Sanders is gonna move
the needle.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
He matters. He's a big fn deal.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's it. That's the legend. He's mister popular. Of course,
the reality is at this point it's a lot of
a lot of sizzle. I don't see any stake. There's
no substance. It's a lot of hype, and people love
hype and people eat hype up and it's it's the
same thing as like people getting upset about clickbait.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Oh I don't do clickbait.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
The entire social media business is designed on clickbait. It
wouldn't exist without clickbait.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Oh I don't do a clickbait. Everyone's doing clickbait. That's
the way the whole thing works. But in this case,
this is old school clickbait. It's hyperbole, it's puffery.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
The Browns, the way they played Game one, they will
likely go out yet again, be a three or four
win team, go three and fourteen or something along those lines.
And should Sanders he might not even take a single
snap this year, not even a single snap for shoulder.
Sanders and his jersey is still gonna sell because he's
got the aura. He's got the aura it's the cool
(07:32):
kid's table in high school. Now, I was never allowed
back at the cool kids table in high school. But
he's at the cool kids table. He's at the cool
kids table. It doesn't matter if you're failing at math,
It doesn't matter if you can't dribble a basketball, or
you've got the sneakers, you've got the jacket, you've got
the look, you've got the image. So you're at the
cool kids table. And that's what matters. So congratulations on that,
(07:54):
and Shouldter has it. The whole thing is a marketing machine,
is what it is. And the low information NFL fanboy
is like a moth to a flame. It's like a
moth to a flame when it comes in. And that's
the real lesson here. The lesson is talent is optional.
(08:15):
Playing is optional.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The jerseys are about the headlines and about not the
box score. It's about something other than the box score.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It is.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Shooter Sanders is the living embodiment of that. You don't
need to play, you don't need to win, you just
need the vibe. It's all about the vibe, all right, now,
turning the page, but we're not going that far. We're
staying with the merchandise department. I'd like to get on
(08:45):
my bully pulpit here and rant and rave. I got
a rant about this because it's been driving me nuts
all weekend. It started last week. I thought initially it
started on Thursday with the Cowboys Eagles game, and I thought, well,
maybe I'm just seeing things that aren't there. And then
I saw it on I saw it on Friday Chiefs Chargers,
(09:06):
and then I saw it all day on Sunday, and
I saw it again on Monday night. These new NFL hats,
sideline hats, Ben, You're not going to talk about sideline
hats in the middle of a mal monologue.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Want to bet? Want a bet? Yes? I am.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Where are you at on these new NFL sideline caps
for twenty twenty five?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Two words absolute disgrace? Seriously.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Now, I normally don't care about wardrobe on the sideline
and all that, but somebody who's in charge of merchandise
at the NFL needs to be called to the carpet.
That is a monstrosity. This is supposed to be the
shield the brand, right. You always tell us how big
you are, multi gazillion dollar business, the crown jewel of
American sport. Everyone is hypnotized and mesmerized by the NFL.
(09:57):
And the hats look like they were designed by Stevie Meatballs,
who's blind. Like Stevie Meatballs designed them, and he had
taken a freshman starter graphic design course and that's what
he came up with the logo. You need a bloody
magnifying glass to see the damn logo to know which
team is on the sidelines. Now, if you're sitting in
(10:20):
the upper deck, or you have a small television you're
watching on your phone, forget about it. Forget about it.
You'd need in order to see these logos. If you're
sitting in the upper balcony at your favorite NFL stadium
and you're looking down, you're going to need military grade
heat seeking binoculars from the Pentagon in order to figure
(10:43):
out who's playing. Is that the Raiders, It might be
the Ravens. Maybe it's the Ravens. I don't know who
thought this was a good idea, Seriously, it always fascinates me.
This is massive companies and this is such an easy
thing to avoid.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I understand. It's pain in the ass.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Every year you have to come up with a new
hat and It's like, what are you doing that? You
should just keep one hat, but you got to sell
more hats and all that stuff. But who signed off
on this? Like there had to be multiple middle managers
that signed off on this. You're supposed to be advertising
the product. Am I wrong on that? The sideline wardrobe,
(11:22):
you're essentially models doing pirouettes on the sidelines and people
see the merch and then they want to go out
and buy the merch And so you're modeling the NFL
product and you're supposed to be showing off the brand.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Am I wrong on this? I don't think I'm wrong
on this. And so what do they do? They hide it.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
It's a magic trick, the incredible shrinking logo of your
favorite NFL team on a hat. Seriously, it's every time
I says it's ridiculous. And you're the NFL, You've got
the biggest league in the world. You'd love to tell
us all about that. And your sideline looks like you
made it and you took it from the reject pilot
(12:04):
target and well, that's a reject, that's a that's a
printing error, printing error, let's take that out. And and
they're they're gonna end up where every single failed piece
of merchandise goes.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
You know where that is.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yet the clearance rack at Ross Dress for Less, that's
where they're gona end up. You could not give me
one of these things. I'm a hat guy, I am
a hat. I'm the I've been called the mad Hatter
of sports Chat. It's one of my nicknames, the mad
Hatter of sports Chat. I love hats, but this no
chance I'm not doing. I'm not wearing it. I don't
(12:42):
want it. It's got bad mojo. I want nothing to
do with it. Awful, absolutely awful looking product. And they
they they look like something, these caps, they look like
something you'd win at a state fair, you know, the
game and the car artible where you knock down the
milk bottles, you know, and you throw like the softball
(13:03):
and you knock and you'd win this hat. But you
don't really want the hat because it's ugly. You're not
gonna wear it. But it's something and you want it
and all that stuff, and so uh, it's wild. It's like, Hey, attention,
NFL merchandising executives.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Okay, I have an idea.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Unsolicited advice from the Overnight gas baggery. So here's my advice.
It can blow you away. No one else has this advice. Okay,
no one else is about to say what I'm about
to say. All right, So when you're selling team merch
when you're selling team merchandise and you're the NFL, maybe
just maybe make the logo big enough so people could
(13:43):
actually see it? How about that? How about that? In fact,
that logo is so small, eye doctors are going to
use that as an exam.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Can you see what NFL logo? They're gonna have a
big board, you know, the eye chart. You're the eye doctor.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
They're gonna have a big board of all the different
NFL hats and you're gonna have to walk back twenty
feet all right. Can you pick out the Seattle Seahawks hat. No,
I think that's the Carolina Panthers. You pick the wrong one. Okay,
you need glasses, you can't see. Is that the New
England Patris No, it's not the New England Patriots. It's actually,
believe it or not, it's not the Patriots. Somehow, it's
(14:17):
the forty nine ers. It's the Red unbelievable. Seriously, I mean,
if you want to like the whole thing. It's the
perfect hat if you want to go in stealth mode,
Like seriously, if you want to buy a hat for
your team that you root for, but you don't want
anyone else to know that you root for the team,
you can go incognito with the hat for that.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
It's perfect.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Otherwise trash, absolute trash, Like the whole sideline hat should
be a billboard.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
And it has been.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
They've changed it a million times over the years. You're
walking advertisement, you're a runway model, you're on the catwalk.
I would think be a badge of honor. But instead
the NFL went out and said in instead of ride
for the brand, go to the west, you gotta ride
for the brand. Let's hide the brand. We're gonna hide
the brand. That's the strategy.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Brilliant.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
What marketing college, What marketing school do they teach that at?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I thought that the whole point of this was that
people see the hats like I want to buy that hat.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I want somebody, I want to run out and buy
that hat.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I want to pull my phone out of my pocket
and I want to dial up some overpriced NFL merchandise
shop and buy that hat.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Nobody's buying this crap. Nobody.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I don't want anyone. I've not seen anyone wearing these hats.
They've been out for a little bit. Nobody wants them
all right now, last word, we go to college football.
We go with the news of the day, Texas, Austin, Texas,
the prodigy who turns out really good against San Jose State,
not so good against Ohio State. Anyway, the biggest star
in college football, we are told in the entire sporting world.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
But he's back in the sporting news.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
We're talking about arch Manning, and not so much arch Manning,
but it's the reaction to the coach of arch Manning,
Steve Sarkisian, who knows where all the the good mini
bars are. So Steve Sarkisian, the head coach of the
Texas Longhorns, attempted to shut down arch Manning. He attempted
to not arch Manning per se, but the reports that
(16:17):
arch Manning had an injury. There was a viral clip
from Texas's game against the Spartans of San Jose State
that showed arch Manning grimacing in agony, and so that
led to a very unique analogy by Steve Sarkisian. Let's
go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Do we have this? We don't have this. Apparently we
don't have this, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Well, anyway, so Steve Charcis, Steve Scarcisi Sarkisian, excuse, I
thought we had it.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
So he was asked specifically about the look on the
face by.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
A member of the media there that covers Texas football.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Sarkisian says he doesn't have any I don't know. I've
never filmed any of you guys. Sarkisians said, I've never
filmed any of you guys when you're using the bathroom,
so I don't know what faces you make when you're
doing that close quote, and then Sarkisian kind of smirked
when he said, I guess the editing department was asleep.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's all over the internet. I guess they couldn't do
their job. So unbelievable. So does Steve Sarkisian's his explanation
his injury spin? Does the Texas coach Steve Sarkisian's injury spin,
which you did not hear, but you can find in
two seconds of the internet. Does that work for you?
Does that work for you. His comments about arch Man,
So I actually thought this was pretty amusing. It's not
(17:39):
your standard sports cliche. And I like the fact that
he was working blue and he didn't say powder room,
he said bathroom. Little hot potty talk. Right, that's the
level of injury intel that you're getting out of Austin, Texas.
And I think Noah and Austin he can be our
boots on the ground there and go give us inside information.
(18:01):
But forget it, forget about MRIs, forget about practice reports.
Sarkisian sark treating treating this like we're what are we watching?
Like a toilet paper commercial or something like that. Right,
it's the old nothing to see here, folks, move on,
nothing to see here? Except the last time. The last
(18:21):
time Sarkisian said nothing to see here?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Was that not last year?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
When Quinn Yours, the seventh round pick of the Miami Dolphins.
He said, start now, he's not hurt, and he missed
not one, not two, but three games if I remember correctly,
I think that was last year.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I believe I'm right on that.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And and then you look around it's like Steve Sarkisian
as a coach has as much credibility as picking up
a coupon, a brand new coupon.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
To toys r us.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Right, it's expired, it's useless, it's it's not working. And
let's not forget Sarkisian's history here, right, not exactly, mister transparency.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Steve Sarkisian, he's the.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Same guy who was booted out of USC the University
of Southern California because he was hitting the bottle a
little too hard, the bottle that may or may not
have been vodka. And now he's doing bathroom analogies with
the media. It does make you wonder. It makes you
wonder is arch Manning hurt? Because Sarkisian has a history
(19:24):
of lying. All coaches do, so is Steve Sarkisian lying here?
And is arch Manning actually hurt? Or are we supposed
to just buy that He's like, what that he's pooping
his pants on the sidelines, he's pooping his pants in
the game and all that stuff. Do we need a
special Sharman nil deal for arch Manning? And it's the
(19:46):
football version of when your dog peas, right, your dog
peas on the carpet, and what do you do?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I'm like, all right, let me, just put a candle.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I'll put a scented candle up, and nobody will be
able to smell the pea that'll be that'll cover up
the smell.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
And so so.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's where now spoiler alert, Sarkesian it still reeks.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It just does. It still reeks in reality check.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Now, if Sarkesian's lips are moving, we are going to
assume the position that the opposite of whatever he's saying.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
If he says Arch Manning is fine, then Manning's.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Probably on crutches and he's being wheeled into a you know,
he's being put on a gurney and being wheeled into
a hospital, and he's probably got a walking boot on
as well. And if he says he said, listen, Arch
Manning is really hurt, then he's fine. So it's it's opposite.
It's bizarro world. Now it is the Ben Mahler Show.

ninety nine on Fox. But first, let's play off.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
The Mallor Riddle of the day. And here's the Malor
Riddle of the day.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Viking quarterback JJ McCarthy has said that he has an
alter ego where he blanks in front of the mirror.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
All right, that is the question. What is the answer?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
King Rory says he practices giving motivational speeches. Bobby in
Florida says he manscapes in front.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Of the mirror. Great guess, all right.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Lady Cyburn says, pretends that he's actually Hannah Montana.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Interesting he gets the best of both worlds. There you go.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Donkey Sausa says he punches the mirror, that's what he does.
And Ferg Dog says he he tries to beat himself
in a staring contest. Now, that would be impressive if
you could beat yourself in a staring contest. Late Night
Drug tester says he lip syncs to Tate McCrae is
what he does. Stemy Meatball says, Hey, Ben, I fell asleep.
I'm going to go with soap on a rope. Well,
(24:48):
we don't know what you were dreaming of, Stevie Meatballs.
That's an interesting answer. Alf the Alien opinter says that
JJ McCarthy, who is the hero late for the Vikings,
juggles cats in front of a mirror. Milkman Mike says
he wears a Woody the Cowboy costume.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
That's what he's into.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Arek in Minnesota says, living in the Twin Cities, I
know the actual answer man, so I'll guess that he
practices the skull.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Chant in front of the mirror. Inca terror from.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
New York says that he re enacts the role of
Dennis the Menace.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
That that is the answer.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I forty In says he strikes a buffalo Bill Poe's
in front of the mirror.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Who else?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Ozzie was says he practices kissing in front of the mirror.
JT the Wingman says eating cookies in his cookie Monster costume.
That means he'd be a furry violently vomiting. From Eke
in Roseville, Minnesota, Page Dan he acts like fran Tarkington
(25:50):
from Joe the Ghost Hunter.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
That's his answer.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Douglas in Mississippi says his alter ego he rips his
shirt in half like he's Hulk Hooke.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So he says, all right, do you have an answer?
Lorrain up? You know, I was thinking what would look
good in front of a mirror. I'm gonna go with
cooking chicken.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Cooking chicken, okay, an influencer cooking on camera in a mirror. Unfortunately,
that's incorrect. I thought you were gonna make some other
joke about it chicken, But no, the correct answer. Viking
quarterback Jaj McCarthy says he has an alter ego where
he paints his face with EyeBlack in front of the mirror.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
He calls it war paint, he said, and there you go.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
He says, it's like, can tell you about drama. He said,
it's like I'm ready to die on that field. It's
not going to look pretty. It's not going to look
like someone just did my makeup for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
It's war paint. What a psycho?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Hey, JJ, when do you join the Marines? Pal instead
of the Minnesota Vikings. Let's go to the phones and
let's go.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
To Paul, Paul and out.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
We got a lot of hot takes on these ridonculous
NFL hats.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Hello Paul and Ottawa welcome, hid Ben.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Yeah, just a couple of points about your takes on
style over substance, and then about the logo. I think
it's it's interesting that it does go back to when
we're young, this this need to have style over substance
and appearance. And it reminds me of a movie. I'll
watched ones with my mom, who's called the Jane Austin
(27:29):
Book Club, and a woman played by Emily blund is
upset about something and the husband says, well, that was
high school, honey, that's over, and she looks at him
like he's an idiot, and she says, high school is
never over. And it seems to be there's some truth
in that. I think. I know that when I dream now,
(27:49):
I still dream. I'm sixty two and I still dream
sometimes about that. I'm that I'm not attending classes in
high school and I'm not going to get my credits.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
And you have PTSD from your high school days. Well,
they have the famous quote, I don't know who said it,
but that everything you really need in life you learn
in kindergarten. Right, All the life skills you need you
learn in kindergarten, but then also in high school if
you have a bad high school experience. I had a
terrible time in Issa. People were complete a holes to me,
but I survived and I really haven't looked back.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, I haven't looked back.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
Well, it's better to go forward, for sure. And as
far as the logo, it's interesting because when I finally
decided recently that I wanted to have a favorite team
in the NFL, and I chose the Pittsburgh Steelers, and
I wanted to get the tuke and the cap to
kind of put my money where my mouth was. My
sister bought them for me for Christmas. Of the tuke
(28:43):
for the winter and the cap for the summer. Yeah,
and when I go out in those I don't go
out thinking I hope nobody sees me, you know.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yeah, because because if you were I'm sure this zabas
you were, I had somebody. You'll run into another fan
of the team and they'll hey, you know, make a
comment to you about the team, right, because he'll be like, hey,
you know, we're fellow fans.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Well, that's what happens. And I ended up being able
to encounter people a little bit and uh and talk
about the team and just just kind of share a
moment with somebody because because you're wearing a cap and
that's not going to work if you can't see the local.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, this is really, this is so so ridiculous. Well, Paul,
I'm glad you called it. Man, You're the man.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Thank you, Paul the Great Paul and Ottowa we'll say
he lo to Patrick.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Patrick is in Jacksonville. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Do all?
Speaker 8 (29:31):
Cot Yeah, Hey, that's funny. You mentioned in hats. I
was driving my daughter to work and she's glad we're
here track you're tracking me up via the She's probably
wondering what the heckond is? He laughed at this, But
these hats, I watched the game last night, and I'm like,
what is the world is this. It's like they've mass
(29:54):
produced these toaster stamps. It stuck them on the front
of caps.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, that's a good's that is That is a good lie.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
And they do look like the size of a like
a large postage stamp is what they look like they do.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
I'm not buying this hat. When I was a kid
playing Little League, you have these like snapback hats that
you adjusted to pit your head and I wear my
hat backwards, and uh because I played catcher and I
still wear my hat backwards. I'm sixty there you go. Yeah,
no idea, it'll put a bit in your forehead. And
(30:26):
you're like trying to bring those back and sell them,
like people should buy these things. And I see them
at the store and I'm like, that's the first thing
I checked. I like the uh, the cough you know,
back so it's more comfortable.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
No, I hear I hear it.
Speaker 8 (30:41):
Whoever's park at these things is like I think they're
going out.
Speaker 1 (30:45):

like us, but you know what I mean, we're hat people.
Speaker 2 (30:50):

No, you can tell me, he answered, He answered.

blame on that.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
The good news is we don't have to take blind
Scott's call the rest of the show. He's out of
the show now, that's great, right, He's been on the
air and he ruined the whole thing, and that's the
way to go.
The real mistake by the lake. Wel come in. It's
our number three, our number three. And NFL merchandise Sales update.
NFL merchandise Sales Update. What is the lesson from Shader
Sanders having the fifth most jersey sales in the entire NFL.
(00:21):
He's the third string quarterback on the Browns and yet
he's number five in the entire NFL and jersey sales. Also,
where are you at on these new NFL sideline hats
for twenty twenty five that have popped up.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Around the league.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And does Steve Sarkisian and College Football does his injury
spin on arch manning work for you will go there
as well? Right now here, it is our number three.
Make way for the merchman. Huh. Welcome In the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Fellow taxpayers, as we are spinning and grinning coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the vast and wonderfully
powerful microphones of FSR, am monating live from the Mecca,
the Mecca of the Mallard Militia, from the world famous
(01:22):
Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Danny in Nashville.
Who signs off on that message. This portion of the
Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible in part by
our friends at Express Employment Professionals. Now, business fluctuations make
running your manufacturing business complex. I know Alps had a
(01:43):
devil of a time on that, and so is Ferg Dog.
But staffing your business does not have to be let
Express Employment Professionals provide the workforce you need. Go to
expresspros dot com to find the location near you. That's
expresspros dot com. So our lead this hour from the
(02:03):
Merchandise department. Now we can talk more about the wild
Monday Night game. You watched it, you know you heard
the score here the moments ago, the Vikings who were
on life support. It was like a religious revival. They
woke up just in time. In the fourth quarter, the
cast of characters turned things around and all of a sudden,
the Vikings beat the Bears. So wild finish, considering how
(02:27):
dominating the start was for the Bears.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But we're not gonna talk about that.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Instead, the NFL Players Association, the NFL Marketing Arm, all
these people sold. They announced the top selling jerseys in
the off season. The top selling jerseys announced the seasons
obviously beginning now we're one week end of the season,
and this is always a good test to see where
the hearts, minds, and souls of people are. So at
(02:52):
the top, it's what you would expect, right, You've got
Sequon Barkley, Eagle fans, the Birds, Sequon Barkley coming off
a Super Bowl win in Philadelphia, so he is number
one at the very number of the King of All Jerseys.
(03:13):
Jalen Hurts, that's my quarterback. Jalen Hurts is right behind him,
so that makes sense. You're like, okay, we're fine. And
then you've got after that Commanders breakout rookie Jaden Daniels,
who's next up, followed by Josh Allen, Bill's Mafia. All right,
Bill's Moby at number four. That's fine. But then this
(03:33):
is where things get a little wonkee. This is where
things get oldwonkee. So after Josh Allen, who won the
MVP and was at number four, you figured most people
already have a Josh Allen jersey if that's your thing,
if that's your deal, because he's been around for a while,
he's been productive and all that.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Like Robbie.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
According to Justin and Cincinnati Robbie the Mariner fan is
a Josh Allen fanboy has seventeen Josh Allen jerseys. Justin
told me that seventeen. But that's not about that's not
about what we're going to talk about right now. Instead, it's
number five, number five.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Five. Yeah, you know who that is? Maybe not now
you don't know the answer, Schadure Sanders.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
What?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh m gee, that's right?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
The same Shouldar Sanders, who is number five in Jersey
sales and number three on the Cleveland Brown Depth chart.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Number that is not a misprint, That is not a typo.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You've got Joe Flacco and I believe Dylan Gabriel, and
then after that, you've got number five in the entire
NFL in Jersey sales, should Sanders.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
So let us discuss the question. This is a teachable moment.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
So the question is what's the lesson in Shadur Sanders
having the fifth most Jersey sales in the entire NFL.
So I've got Tinseltown, Pentagon and Toys r US and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make mini corn dogs. Delicious Mini corn
(05:11):
dogs is what we're going to make so a to
answer the question. The lesson on why should ear Sanders
is number five in the entire NFL.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Is The word is skullduggery. That is the word here,
skulled Dougrey.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
This is why sports are stupid and also why they're
so great at the same time, and why I keep
coming in here and making the long trip into the
studios because this kind of stuff like winning doesn't matter.
I was of the generation. I know, generations after me,
you're not supposed to win. You just try really hard.
But I was of the generation that you're supposed to win,
and that's what matters. And wins and losses, wins and
(05:45):
bleeply bleep blusses. I know that's changed a lite. This
is great proof of that that winning doesn't matter all
the time, that the depth chart doesn't matter, that playing
well doesn't matter. Hell playing doesn't even matter. It is
a master class in the power of marketing and human nature.
(06:05):
You tie those two things together, and I present to
you example a Schaduur Sanders. Right, this is that old
line from Tinseltown, the man who shot liberty balance. And
when the legend becomes the fact, you print the legend
and the legend is that Shadur Sanders is gonna move
the needle.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
He matters. He's a big fn deal.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's it. That's the legend. He's mister popular. Of course,
the reality is at this point it's a lot of
a lot of sizzle. I don't see any stake. There's
no substance. It's a lot of hype, and people love
hype and people eat hype up and it's it's the
same thing as like people getting upset about clickbait.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Oh I don't do clickbait.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
The entire social media business is designed on clickbait. It
wouldn't exist without clickbait.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Oh I don't do a clickbait. Everyone's doing clickbait. That's
the way the whole thing works. But in this case,
this is old school clickbait. It's hyperbole, it's puffery.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
The Browns, the way they played Game one, they will
likely go out yet again, be a three or four
win team, go three and fourteen or something along those lines.
And should Sanders he might not even take a single
snap this year, not even a single snap for shoulder.
Sanders and his jersey is still gonna sell because he's
got the aura. He's got the aura it's the cool
(07:32):
kid's table in high school. Now, I was never allowed
back at the cool kids table in high school. But
he's at the cool kids table. He's at the cool
kids table. It doesn't matter if you're failing at math,
It doesn't matter if you can't dribble a basketball, or
you've got the sneakers, you've got the jacket, you've got
the look, you've got the image. So you're at the
cool kids table. And that's what matters. So congratulations on that,
(07:54):
and Shouldter has it. The whole thing is a marketing machine,
is what it is. And the low information NFL fanboy
is like a moth to a flame. It's like a
moth to a flame when it comes in. And that's
the real lesson here. The lesson is talent is optional.
(08:15):
Playing is optional.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The jerseys are about the headlines and about not the
box score. It's about something other than the box score.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It is.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Shooter Sanders is the living embodiment of that. You don't
need to play, you don't need to win, you just
need the vibe. It's all about the vibe, all right, now,
turning the page, but we're not going that far. We're
staying with the merchandise department. I'd like to get on
(08:45):
my bully pulpit here and rant and rave. I got
a rant about this because it's been driving me nuts
all weekend. It started last week. I thought initially it
started on Thursday with the Cowboys Eagles game, and I thought, well,
maybe I'm just seeing things that aren't there. And then
I saw it on I saw it on Friday Chiefs Chargers,
(09:06):
and then I saw it all day on Sunday, and
I saw it again on Monday night. These new NFL hats,
sideline hats, Ben, You're not going to talk about sideline
hats in the middle of a mal monologue.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Want to bet? Want a bet? Yes? I am.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Where are you at on these new NFL sideline caps
for twenty twenty five?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Two words absolute disgrace? Seriously.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Now, I normally don't care about wardrobe on the sideline
and all that, but somebody who's in charge of merchandise
at the NFL needs to be called to the carpet.
That is a monstrosity. This is supposed to be the
shield the brand, right. You always tell us how big
you are, multi gazillion dollar business, the crown jewel of
American sport. Everyone is hypnotized and mesmerized by the NFL.
(09:57):
And the hats look like they were designed by Stevie Meatballs,
who's blind. Like Stevie Meatballs designed them, and he had
taken a freshman starter graphic design course and that's what
he came up with the logo. You need a bloody
magnifying glass to see the damn logo to know which
team is on the sidelines. Now, if you're sitting in
(10:20):
the upper deck, or you have a small television you're
watching on your phone, forget about it. Forget about it.
You'd need in order to see these logos. If you're
sitting in the upper balcony at your favorite NFL stadium
and you're looking down, you're going to need military grade
heat seeking binoculars from the Pentagon in order to figure
(10:43):
out who's playing. Is that the Raiders, It might be
the Ravens. Maybe it's the Ravens. I don't know who
thought this was a good idea, Seriously, it always fascinates me.
This is massive companies and this is such an easy
thing to avoid.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I understand. It's pain in the ass.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Every year you have to come up with a new
hat and It's like, what are you doing that? You
should just keep one hat, but you got to sell
more hats and all that stuff. But who signed off
on this? Like there had to be multiple middle managers
that signed off on this. You're supposed to be advertising
the product. Am I wrong on that? The sideline wardrobe,
(11:22):
you're essentially models doing pirouettes on the sidelines and people
see the merch and then they want to go out
and buy the merch And so you're modeling the NFL
product and you're supposed to be showing off the brand.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Am I wrong on this? I don't think I'm wrong
on this. And so what do they do? They hide it.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
It's a magic trick, the incredible shrinking logo of your
favorite NFL team on a hat. Seriously, it's every time
I says it's ridiculous. And you're the NFL, You've got
the biggest league in the world. You'd love to tell
us all about that. And your sideline looks like you
made it and you took it from the reject pilot
(12:04):
target and well, that's a reject, that's a that's a
printing error, printing error, let's take that out. And and
they're they're gonna end up where every single failed piece
of merchandise goes.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
You know where that is.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yet the clearance rack at Ross Dress for Less, that's
where they're gona end up. You could not give me
one of these things. I'm a hat guy, I am
a hat. I'm the I've been called the mad Hatter
of sports Chat. It's one of my nicknames, the mad
Hatter of sports Chat. I love hats, but this no
chance I'm not doing. I'm not wearing it. I don't
(12:42):
want it. It's got bad mojo. I want nothing to
do with it. Awful, absolutely awful looking product. And they
they they look like something, these caps, they look like
something you'd win at a state fair, you know, the
game and the car artible where you knock down the
milk bottles, you know, and you throw like the softball
(13:03):
and you knock and you'd win this hat. But you
don't really want the hat because it's ugly. You're not
gonna wear it. But it's something and you want it
and all that stuff, and so uh, it's wild. It's like, Hey, attention,
NFL merchandising executives.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Okay, I have an idea.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Unsolicited advice from the Overnight gas baggery. So here's my advice.
It can blow you away. No one else has this advice. Okay,
no one else is about to say what I'm about
to say. All right, So when you're selling team merch
when you're selling team merchandise and you're the NFL, maybe
just maybe make the logo big enough so people could
(13:43):
actually see it? How about that? How about that? In fact,
that logo is so small, eye doctors are going to
use that as an exam.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Can you see what NFL logo? They're gonna have a
big board, you know, the eye chart. You're the eye doctor.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
They're gonna have a big board of all the different
NFL hats and you're gonna have to walk back twenty
feet all right. Can you pick out the Seattle Seahawks hat. No,
I think that's the Carolina Panthers. You pick the wrong one. Okay,
you need glasses, you can't see. Is that the New
England Patris No, it's not the New England Patriots. It's actually,
believe it or not, it's not the Patriots. Somehow, it's
(14:17):
the forty nine ers. It's the Red unbelievable. Seriously, I mean,
if you want to like the whole thing. It's the
perfect hat if you want to go in stealth mode,
Like seriously, if you want to buy a hat for
your team that you root for, but you don't want
anyone else to know that you root for the team,
you can go incognito with the hat for that.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
It's perfect.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Otherwise trash, absolute trash, Like the whole sideline hat should
be a billboard.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
And it has been.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
They've changed it a million times over the years. You're
walking advertisement, you're a runway model, you're on the catwalk.
I would think be a badge of honor. But instead
the NFL went out and said in instead of ride
for the brand, go to the west, you gotta ride
for the brand. Let's hide the brand. We're gonna hide
the brand. That's the strategy.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Brilliant.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
What marketing college, What marketing school do they teach that at?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I thought that the whole point of this was that
people see the hats like I want to buy that hat.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I want somebody, I want to run out and buy
that hat.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I want to pull my phone out of my pocket
and I want to dial up some overpriced NFL merchandise
shop and buy that hat.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Nobody's buying this crap. Nobody.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I don't want anyone. I've not seen anyone wearing these hats.
They've been out for a little bit. Nobody wants them
all right now, last word, we go to college football.
We go with the news of the day, Texas, Austin, Texas,
the prodigy who turns out really good against San Jose State,
not so good against Ohio State. Anyway, the biggest star
in college football, we are told in the entire sporting world.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
But he's back in the sporting news.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
We're talking about arch Manning, and not so much arch Manning,
but it's the reaction to the coach of arch Manning,
Steve Sarkisian, who knows where all the the good mini
bars are. So Steve Sarkisian, the head coach of the
Texas Longhorns, attempted to shut down arch Manning. He attempted
to not arch Manning per se, but the reports that
(16:17):
arch Manning had an injury. There was a viral clip
from Texas's game against the Spartans of San Jose State
that showed arch Manning grimacing in agony, and so that
led to a very unique analogy by Steve Sarkisian. Let's
go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Do we have this? We don't have this. Apparently we
don't have this, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Well, anyway, so Steve Charcis, Steve Scarcisi Sarkisian, excuse, I
thought we had it.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
So he was asked specifically about the look on the
face by.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
A member of the media there that covers Texas football.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Sarkisian says he doesn't have any I don't know. I've
never filmed any of you guys. Sarkisians said, I've never
filmed any of you guys when you're using the bathroom,
so I don't know what faces you make when you're
doing that close quote, and then Sarkisian kind of smirked
when he said, I guess the editing department was asleep.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's all over the internet. I guess they couldn't do
their job. So unbelievable. So does Steve Sarkisian's his explanation
his injury spin? Does the Texas coach Steve Sarkisian's injury spin,
which you did not hear, but you can find in
two seconds of the internet. Does that work for you?
Does that work for you. His comments about arch Man,
So I actually thought this was pretty amusing. It's not
(17:39):
your standard sports cliche. And I like the fact that
he was working blue and he didn't say powder room,
he said bathroom. Little hot potty talk. Right, that's the
level of injury intel that you're getting out of Austin, Texas.
And I think Noah and Austin he can be our
boots on the ground there and go give us inside information.
(18:01):
But forget it, forget about MRIs, forget about practice reports.
Sarkisian sark treating treating this like we're what are we watching?
Like a toilet paper commercial or something like that. Right,
it's the old nothing to see here, folks, move on,
nothing to see here? Except the last time. The last
(18:21):
time Sarkisian said nothing to see here?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Was that not last year?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
When Quinn Yours, the seventh round pick of the Miami Dolphins.
He said, start now, he's not hurt, and he missed
not one, not two, but three games if I remember correctly,
I think that was last year.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I believe I'm right on that.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And and then you look around it's like Steve Sarkisian
as a coach has as much credibility as picking up
a coupon, a brand new coupon.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
To toys r us.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Right, it's expired, it's useless, it's it's not working. And
let's not forget Sarkisian's history here, right, not exactly, mister transparency.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Steve Sarkisian, he's the.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Same guy who was booted out of USC the University
of Southern California because he was hitting the bottle a
little too hard, the bottle that may or may not
have been vodka. And now he's doing bathroom analogies with
the media. It does make you wonder. It makes you
wonder is arch Manning hurt? Because Sarkisian has a history
(19:24):
of lying. All coaches do, so is Steve Sarkisian lying here?
And is arch Manning actually hurt? Or are we supposed
to just buy that He's like, what that he's pooping
his pants on the sidelines, he's pooping his pants in
the game and all that stuff. Do we need a
special Sharman nil deal for arch Manning? And it's the
(19:46):
football version of when your dog peas, right, your dog
peas on the carpet, and what do you do?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I'm like, all right, let me, just put a candle.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I'll put a scented candle up, and nobody will be
able to smell the pea that'll be that'll cover up
the smell.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
And so so.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's where now spoiler alert, Sarkesian it still reeks.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It just does. It still reeks in reality check.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Now, if Sarkesian's lips are moving, we are going to
assume the position that the opposite of whatever he's saying.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
If he says Arch Manning is fine, then Manning's.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Probably on crutches and he's being wheeled into a you know,
he's being put on a gurney and being wheeled into
a hospital, and he's probably got a walking boot on
as well. And if he says he said, listen, Arch
Manning is really hurt, then he's fine. So it's it's opposite.
It's bizarro world. Now it is the Ben Mahler Show.

ninety nine on Fox. But first, let's play off.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
The Mallor Riddle of the day. And here's the Malor
Riddle of the day.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Viking quarterback JJ McCarthy has said that he has an
alter ego where he blanks in front of the mirror.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
All right, that is the question. What is the answer?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
King Rory says he practices giving motivational speeches. Bobby in
Florida says he manscapes in front.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Of the mirror. Great guess, all right.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Lady Cyburn says, pretends that he's actually Hannah Montana.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Interesting he gets the best of both worlds. There you go.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Donkey Sausa says he punches the mirror, that's what he does.
And Ferg Dog says he he tries to beat himself
in a staring contest. Now, that would be impressive if
you could beat yourself in a staring contest. Late Night
Drug tester says he lip syncs to Tate McCrae is
what he does. Stemy Meatball says, Hey, Ben, I fell asleep.
I'm going to go with soap on a rope. Well,
(24:48):
we don't know what you were dreaming of, Stevie Meatballs.
That's an interesting answer. Alf the Alien opinter says that
JJ McCarthy, who is the hero late for the Vikings,
juggles cats in front of a mirror. Milkman Mike says
he wears a Woody the Cowboy costume.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
That's what he's into.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Arek in Minnesota says, living in the Twin Cities, I
know the actual answer man, so I'll guess that he
practices the skull.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Chant in front of the mirror. Inca terror from.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
New York says that he re enacts the role of
Dennis the Menace.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
That that is the answer.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I forty In says he strikes a buffalo Bill Poe's
in front of the mirror.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Who else?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Ozzie was says he practices kissing in front of the mirror.
JT the Wingman says eating cookies in his cookie Monster costume.
That means he'd be a furry violently vomiting. From Eke
in Roseville, Minnesota, Page Dan he acts like fran Tarkington
(25:50):
from Joe the Ghost Hunter.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
That's his answer.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Douglas in Mississippi says his alter ego he rips his
shirt in half like he's Hulk Hooke.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So he says, all right, do you have an answer?
Lorrain up? You know, I was thinking what would look
good in front of a mirror. I'm gonna go with
cooking chicken.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Cooking chicken, okay, an influencer cooking on camera in a mirror. Unfortunately,
that's incorrect. I thought you were gonna make some other
joke about it chicken, But no, the correct answer. Viking
quarterback Jaj McCarthy says he has an alter ego where
he paints his face with EyeBlack in front of the mirror.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
He calls it war paint, he said, and there you go.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
He says, it's like, can tell you about drama. He said,
it's like I'm ready to die on that field. It's
not going to look pretty. It's not going to look
like someone just did my makeup for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
It's war paint. What a psycho?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Hey, JJ, when do you join the Marines? Pal instead
of the Minnesota Vikings. Let's go to the phones and
let's go.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
To Paul, Paul and out.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
We got a lot of hot takes on these ridonculous
NFL hats.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Hello Paul and Ottawa welcome, hid Ben.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Yeah, just a couple of points about your takes on
style over substance, and then about the logo. I think
it's it's interesting that it does go back to when
we're young, this this need to have style over substance
and appearance. And it reminds me of a movie. I'll
watched ones with my mom, who's called the Jane Austin
(27:29):
Book Club, and a woman played by Emily blund is
upset about something and the husband says, well, that was
high school, honey, that's over, and she looks at him
like he's an idiot, and she says, high school is
never over. And it seems to be there's some truth
in that. I think. I know that when I dream now,
(27:49):
I still dream. I'm sixty two and I still dream
sometimes about that. I'm that I'm not attending classes in
high school and I'm not going to get my credits.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
And you have PTSD from your high school days. Well,
they have the famous quote, I don't know who said it,
but that everything you really need in life you learn
in kindergarten. Right, All the life skills you need you
learn in kindergarten, but then also in high school if
you have a bad high school experience. I had a
terrible time in Issa. People were complete a holes to me,
but I survived and I really haven't looked back.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, I haven't looked back.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
Well, it's better to go forward, for sure. And as
far as the logo, it's interesting because when I finally
decided recently that I wanted to have a favorite team
in the NFL, and I chose the Pittsburgh Steelers, and
I wanted to get the tuke and the cap to
kind of put my money where my mouth was. My
sister bought them for me for Christmas. Of the tuke
(28:43):
for the winter and the cap for the summer. Yeah,
and when I go out in those I don't go
out thinking I hope nobody sees me, you know.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yeah, because because if you were I'm sure this zabas
you were, I had somebody. You'll run into another fan
of the team and they'll hey, you know, make a
comment to you about the team, right, because he'll be like, hey,
you know, we're fellow fans.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Well, that's what happens. And I ended up being able
to encounter people a little bit and uh and talk
about the team and just just kind of share a
moment with somebody because because you're wearing a cap and
that's not going to work if you can't see the local.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, this is really, this is so so ridiculous. Well, Paul,
I'm glad you called it. Man, You're the man.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Thank you, Paul the Great Paul and Ottowa we'll say
he lo to Patrick.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Patrick is in Jacksonville. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Do all?
Speaker 8 (29:31):
Cot Yeah, Hey, that's funny. You mentioned in hats. I
was driving my daughter to work and she's glad we're
here track you're tracking me up via the She's probably
wondering what the heckond is? He laughed at this, But
these hats, I watched the game last night, and I'm like,
what is the world is this. It's like they've mass
(29:54):
produced these toaster stamps. It stuck them on the front
of caps.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, that's a good's that is That is a good lie.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
And they do look like the size of a like
a large postage stamp is what they look like they do.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
I'm not buying this hat. When I was a kid
playing Little League, you have these like snapback hats that
you adjusted to pit your head and I wear my
hat backwards, and uh because I played catcher and I
still wear my hat backwards. I'm sixty there you go. Yeah,
no idea, it'll put a bit in your forehead. And
(30:26):
you're like trying to bring those back and sell them,
like people should buy these things. And I see them
at the store and I'm like, that's the first thing
I checked. I like the uh, the cough you know,
back so it's more comfortable.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
No, I hear I hear it.
Speaker 8 (30:41):
Whoever's park at these things is like I think they're
going out.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
To the Yeah they're not like they're not They're not
like us, but you know what I mean, we're hat people.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
They're not like us.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
But thank thanks for listening, man, I appreciate that. And
look at you giving you giving your daughter right the way.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
That's nice.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
They're all right, very nice. Let's know imaging. Let's welcome
in our can tessins.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
For the game. We have Jed who fled? Who's gonna
play maus amount of money? Hello? Jed? Welcome.
