Speaker 1 (00:00):
Knock, knock, who's there? That would be our number for
our number four is at your audio door. And here
in our number four we discuss the controversy from New England.
Do you think Mike Rabel's Patriots clapped to mess with
the Falcons offense? That is the accusation being made by
(00:21):
the Atlanta coach Raheem Morris. Also Jerry Jones, whose Cowboys
lost on Monday Night. Jerry's explaining the Cowboys success. He's
talked about what the key is to staying in the
headlines there and staying controversial. Is that the magic formula that?
We'll talk about that and is there a deeper meaning
to Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski not commenting on the success
(00:45):
of Joe Flacco, the former Cleveland quarterback in Cincinnati. We'll
talk about that and more right now, have a wonderful Tuesday.
Buckle up for our number four here it is, call
it a clap if you will, welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are

And you don't really take the Patriots seriously unless they're
involved in a scandal. So now we have to take
(03:17):
them seriously because there's a scant. That's the way it works.
I didn't make the rules. Those are the rules we enter.
Raheem Morris, the coach of Atlanta, not for long. The
Falcon's head coach, Raheem Morris, who raised a few eyebrows
at a What was he saying over there? Yeah, he
cried foul. The Falcon coach was upset after a one
(03:42):
point loss. Atlanta was matriculating the ball down the field
in Foxborough on Sunday, and they were moving the ball.
They were close to field goal range, they were at midfield.
There was a couple of minutes to go in the game,
and the claim is the Patriots simulated the snap count
that the claim you, I don't if you saw this
or not. I guess it's been talked about according to
(04:03):
some of the emails I got from you guys that
listening on the sports up in Boston. It's been talked
about a lot there. I would imagine it would be.
I don't know, they just been talked about much outside
of there. It seems like a pretty good story to me.
And so if you didn't see it, Morris says the
Patriots defense clapped and tricked the center to prematurely snap
the ball, which led to the quarterback Michael Pennox Junior,
(04:26):
rather frazzled to then get rid of the ball early,
and he was penalized for intentional grounding on that particular play,
which meant a loss of down and a bunch of
yards that were lost. It was insurmountable for the Falcons
to come back, and they ended up losing the game.
Here's Rhyhee Morris, though some of the comments he made
(04:46):
about the situation take a list.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
They did a nice job they stimulated a snap. The
ball came early. We was snapped early with the next snap.
That was when we got the intentional grounding. Nice job
by LS guys. Great situation to football, great play they
were clapping simulated on snap. Got to snap the ball enough.
That's what a ball snapped earlier, Mike, when he wasn't
ready for snap.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I sensed a bit of sarcasm in that. Just a
little bit. My sarcasm radar went off on that. Yeah,
And now Mike Rabel responded, he was asked, and it's
what we do media beat riders especially, it's like, did
you hear what he said? Did you hear what he said? So,
Mike Rabel was asked about the clap gate, the Cadence gate,
(05:26):
the Patriots coach. Patriots feeling pretty good about themselves. They're
in the number two seed in the AFC. Here's Mike
Rabel his response to the accusation being made by the
Falcons coach take as.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I don't think annoyed. I'm trying to not waste any
more time looking for anybody clapping. I don't see anything
certainly that wasn't anybody's intent, And I don't think that
we've ever coached at or talked about that.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Right, Well, the SoundBite was cut off early, but one
of the reporters named the player that clapped. Like the
reporters watched it and brought his name up and then
was like, oh boy, he was on the ropes, and uh,
it was great. All right. So anyway, it's a good
jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Do you
think Mike Rabel's patriots intentionally clapped to mess with the
(06:15):
Falcon offense? Yes, Clapgate has it right. So I've got
nineteen eighties infomercial finger Licking and New York Times bestseller,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are gonna make the Gobba goool. We're gonna make
the Gobba goool. Not a leadoff to answer the question,
(06:36):
do I think this was an intentional act by Mike
Rabel's patriots? I am nodding my head. Yes, I am
nodding my head yes on this. Now that's it. Let
us stop pretending, and I'm not saying you are, but
there's people on the media that did just go crazy
over this stuff. Let's not pretend this is like the
second coming of Watergate or something like that. It certainly
doesn't rise to the level of the cheating a he
(07:00):
does not rise to that. So, as I understand, there
is a rule. So if you look at the rule here,
there is a rule. But to my knowledge, there is
no individual rule that. See, you cannot clap. So I
fell down a rabbit hole. And unless I'm getting bad
information here, as I understand it, the rule in the
(07:20):
NFL is you cannot simulate the stapcount right, you cannot
do that. You can't yell hut hut or set or omaha, omaha,
oh my, you can't do that. Clapping I do not
believe is covered under that. I don't believe it is
now it is allowed. From what I read, this is
a loophole. It is a bit of a gray area,
(07:43):
the whole saga. If you're old enough, there was a
famous infomercial back in the nineteen eighties, Clap on, Clap
off the clapper. Just like that. My clap was not
that strong, and there's a mic in front of me.
But listen, players clap all the time. In fact, sometimes
when I have a really good segment, Koper Loop and
Lorena will stand up and clap in the studio it's
(08:03):
really just I'm touched. I'm touched when I It doesn't happen,
maybe more than once a week, but they'll stand up
and just start clapping. People clap, hype guys clap, right,
they clap. They do it every play. You get linebackers
jumping up and down, doing jumping jacks and all that stuff. Clapping, stomping, barking,
all of those things. It's ingrained in the DNA of football.
(08:25):
So if a clap, a strategically placed clap by the Patriots,
caused the Falcon Center to launch the ball early, that
doesn't seem like a Patriot problem. That seems like a
problem for the Atlanta Falcons that they're so fragile that's
set up that offense from the shotgun formation, that they're
(08:48):
so left up that this is their problem. It's kind
of like blaming the weather for the fumble, like you
know some losers do that they do. You're telling me
your center, your offensive line has such fragility that one
clap causes the whole house of cards to come tumbling down.
It's not that complicated. It's not you. You're supposed to
(09:11):
practice cadence discipline. They talk about it in the game
of football. And if a little bit of a clap
like that, I just dear that like that. I did
another clap if that causes this big a problem, but
that's on you. So I do think it was intentional.
I think Mike Rabel's team found a weak spot and
(09:33):
they waited till the perfect moment to exploit the weak spot.
They found a little bit of a gray area, and
the Falcons tripped over their their shoes, their own shoes, right,
just tripped over their own shoes and all that stuff.
Belichick now he's long gone, right, he's losing games. All
they did beat North Carolina, beat Syracuse, which I guess
(09:53):
is Syracuse, and that could either. But the New Zealand
now they're back. To me, this is a sign they
are back. You watch the NFL. Now, if the Patriots
keep winning, this will become more of an issue going forward.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Here.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
They'll put some language in the rules committee no excess clapping. Yeah,
good luck enforcing that. Good luck enforcing that. Right, you're
gonna throw flags for enthusiasm now if they do it.
The NFL does do it right every once in a while,
and they legal clarify it. Until they clarify it clap clap,
the clapper, flap clap, and the Falcons got beaten by
(10:29):
a clap. Imagine how embarrassed. It's bad enough if you're
a Falcon fan and then to lose a game because
your center hert a clap and then snapped the ball
prematurely and then your quarterback panicked. I mean, this is
so stupid. It's like Avilian comedy act for the Atlanta Falcons.
And so it's not the Patriots are not the issue.
(10:53):
It's the Falcons is embarrassing, and it's the Atlanta Falcons
who have cornered the market within kind of lost. It's
the same old story snapgate, flop gate, twenty eight to
three gate in the Super Bowl. And it's like they're
a museum of self inflicted wounds. They really are, all right. Now,
(11:13):
furthermore to Dallas we go. How about them Cowboys. The
Cowboys got smacked around against the Cardinals in the Monday
night football game. It was a domination situation. How bad
of the Cowboys. They're so bad that Jacoby Brissett like
a ninja, slice them up on national television in an
(11:33):
island game. Now, the story here prior to that loss
Jerry Jones went on satellite radio with former Fox Sports
Radio Morning Guy, who, by the way, had no ratings
when he worked here, Stephen A. Smith, and said that
the Cowboys quote stay relevant because he stirs the pot.
He says, quote when he gets slow, I stir the
(11:55):
I'm gonna edit this the poop up. He says, that's
the quote. He's given similar quotes in the past. He's
not hiding it. The question for the panel of experts,
which you're a part of, Jerry Jones explaining the Cowboy
success is, he said, staying out in front and staying controversial,
(12:18):
is that really the magic? Is that the magic? So
that is after a couple of minutes of deliberation, that
is the abra cadabra. That is the hocus pocus. That
is the secret sauce is what that is? It's finger
licking good, finger licking good. Jerry Jones is the Colonel
Sanders of NFL ownership. He serves up the original recipe,
(12:43):
same recipe has been serving since the late eighties. Eleven
herbs and spices, one giant ego, one giant ego, and
you've got a little pinch of controversy, just a little
pinch of controversy, a dash of delusion, just a dash
the whole bucket, whole bucket of hype. And Jerry's running
(13:04):
the KFC in Dallas, the Crazy Football Circus, Crazy with
a K, the Crazy Football Circus. There Extra crispy is
you want, you want extra crispy, you can get extra
That defense is extra crispy. Man, are they bad? And
every year it is the most dependable thing we have.
If you're a fledgling talk shows, these are good jobs.
I hope you can get one someday as a sports
(13:24):
talk shows. They're fun jobs. And every year you know
that Jerry Jones is going to give you something that
he's got you. It's the same thing. The Cowboys go
out there with much optimism. This is the year of
the Cowboys, and they go out there and they get
put in the slow cooker and they're just marinating in
(13:46):
that slow cooker and they're clout farming on steroids is
what they're doing. And you've got other generational brands. You
look around, the Packers, the Steelers, the forty nine Ers
are generational brands and all that. Butarry Jones he's the
one unlike those other generational teams in the NFL. Jerry
is the one standing on the roof of the megaphone
(14:07):
and he's doing his thing, and any publicity is good publicity.
He's playing grab ass with Steven A in the box.
They put him on television. Of course they did. Why
wouldn't they. It's a naval gazing thing. Though he might
not have seen it because apparently if you have YouTube TV,
you're exed out on that because of a bunch of
people fighting over your money. The Cowboys don't just lose
(14:29):
games though, no, no, no, they trend. They got their ass
kicked by a backup quarterback and everyone's talking about them
and they're not talking about Jacoby Brissett. And so Jerry's
figured it out again. The eleven herbs and spices. He's
got the proprietary, proprietary blend, whether it's regional recipe or
extra crispy, and just stay messy and stay relevant. And
that's the way to go, all right. Last thing, we
(14:51):
go to Ohio where Dick and Dayton is the number
one Cleveland sports fan, and I know Spiccoli's like, well,
how are you bringing up this again? Okay, let's get storty.
So Kevin Stefanski was asked this week about his former
quarterback Joe Flacco, who had four hundred and seventy yards
passing and a gaggle of touchdowns against the Chicago Bears.
(15:16):
He just lit it up for the Bengals against Chicago.
And what did he say? He was asked for a comment,
and Kevin Stemanski did he a say, I'm very happy
for Joe Flacco. He was a great Cleveland Brown. I'm
happy that he's doing well in Cincinnati. B did he
say I'm bummed out that we don't have Joe Flacco anymore,
(15:38):
but I'm happy that he's doing well in Cincinnati or
see no comment? All right, pens down reveal answers reveal
answers the correct answer. He said no comment, no comment,
so see see question. Is there a deeper meaning to
Kevin Stefanski not commenting on a low hanging fruit question,
(16:04):
a real simple layup line question about Joe Flacco and
his success. So I am nodding my head. Yes, I
am nodding my head. Yes, there is more to this story.
There's a deeper meaning, And I will give you some
psychobabble if you want. I'm not in my yes, because
this is a break into corn. Now, you and I
(16:25):
both know from paying attention to this stuff that the
way business is done in that industry, you typically get
asked a t ball question, like any comment about Joe
Flacco passing for four hundred and seventy yards and four touchdowns.
What is the normal protocol? You do the polite thing.
You throw some niceties out, you say, Oh, I am
so happy for Joe Flacco. Oh my god, I love
(16:48):
Joe fuck out. I love it. The guy. He's a
great guy. He's a great dad, even though he's left
his family behind to play pro football in his forties.
He's such a good guy. Joe flackout. I just hope
he doesn't do well when we play him. That's it.
That's all you have to say. That's the New York
Times best selling Complete Idiots Guide to Coach Speak. That
(17:10):
is not what happened here. That is not what Kevin
Stefanski did. Instead, the plot thickens. Kevin Stefanski went radio silent,
radio silent, gave you old no comment, right witness protection,
no comment. And that tells me what. It tells me
that he's either mad that Flaco is traded or he's
(17:32):
mad where Flaco is traded, or all of the above,
all of the above, that it didn't seem like he
was the one behind the benching that that went from
management above him. So no comment is a comment. There's
there's a there there. When you say no comment, it
(17:53):
means I did not sign off on the trade. I
did not approve the trade of Cincinnati, And the guy's
making me look like a dope and I'm stuck with
his slop like Dylan Gabriel and Shadur Sanders is more
worried about his next post on X than he is
about playing football and all that stuff. So that's what
that means. And the Browns are the NFL's version of
(18:15):
a bad breakup playlist, is what they are. Every track
is about regret and envy and self sabotage. That's the Browns.
That's the Browns there and Joe Flacco over there balling. Now,
the Bengals did lose the game, not because Joe Flacco
balling in the Cincinnati offense and Kevin Stefanski we mentioned
this in a previous hour. He's been demoted. He's no
(18:38):
longer calling the place he was hired as an offensive guru,
and he has been demoted giving up the play calling,
which is normally what happens before you get fired. If
you don't believe me, asked the Tennessee Titans. Remember the
Tennessee Titans demoted their coach as the offensive play caller
and then eventually fired him. Callahan was fired as the coach.
(18:58):
So Flacco's killing it in terms of touchdown passes, and
he's not getting sacked that much and all that stuff.
And Stefanski's got a bunch of quarterbacks that are folded
up and ice cold, ice cold, and it's it's petty,
it's insecure. It's Cleveland Browns football in a nutshell, and
(19:20):
you can't even fake it. I'm happy he didn't. I'm
happy he didn't fake it. It wouldn't have been anything
that got on my radar. If Stefanski has said I'm
happy for Joe Flacco. I hope he continues to do well,
just not against us. He didn't say that, though he
said no comment. It is the Ben Mahler Show. We
always give a comment. Eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
(19:43):
So one of the highest paid professional athletes is having
a conniption fit and has lost his joy. What is
that all about? We'll get to that and we will
do it next.

to it we go, Alf the alien Opin says, I'd
really like to applaud you on another terrific monologue, but
I don't want to throw you off your game. Thank you.
(21:18):
There you go. Clap, clap the clapper. There you go, absolutely,
hatch Daddy writes in a he says his name Hatch Daddy.
He's a Minnesota guy, he says, to go back to
the Falcon Center. I used to play center back in
high school. Oh, this guy's an expert. Hash Daddy, he says,
(21:40):
back in my day, and of course there isn't a
lot of noise unlike in the NFL. But I always
looked back to check if my quarterback was rapidly signaling
to hike the ball, or I would tap my uh
or I would tap my ear hole if I was
having trouble. Yeah, you know, he meant, you know the helm.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
There's a hole in the helmet where your ear is.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Oh right, right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, Hey cool.
You think John Moran's going to be traded to the Lakers.
I just get the vibe he's gonna end up with
the Lakers. I just have this feeling he's gonna end
up with the Lakers. I just get this vibe.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
That's the first I've ever heard of that. Well, I
wouldn't I would maybe enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Well, he's John Morant's not happy. He he got suspended
from malfeasance. Uh the other day John Morant against the Lakers.
Actually the game over the weekend that nobody watched because
it's early season NBA. But John Moran apparently was lolly
gagging around, he wasn't hustling, and he got suspended, got
into it with the coach of the Grizzlies. No, I
don't even know who the name of the coach of
(22:40):
the Grizzlies is. They keep changing coaches there. Anyway, John
Morant when he came back, he played in the game
last night, and he then had a hissy fit. After
the game. He pointed out that apparently the joy, the
joy that John Morant had in basketball's gone. We have
a little day of that. Audio is a little ardius.
This is John Morant, one of the highest paid players
(23:02):
in the NBA, one of the stars of the NBA,
who loves to play with real guns and fake guns.
And here's jam Ran in the coaching staff.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I want to talk about what happened Friday and Lama.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Yeah, I asked that question to them.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Huh, what about for you?
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Yeah, I asked that question. You'll know the answer to that.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Do you feel like everything's been resolved?
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Yeah? They told you that, right, Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
From you?
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Obviously they can't go and tell y'all something mindset.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Want to beat. Okay, like do you get the same
joy right now?
Speaker 7 (23:36):
But we used to see it from them?
Speaker 8 (23:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Why not?
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Mhmm?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
What can be done to get it back?
Speaker 9 (23:46):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Do you think you have a good relationship with the franchise?
Speaker 8 (23:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (23:50):
General, yeah, they told you all that, right, you probably
had a good relationship. I wouldn't talk to him about all.
So well, then you've got our convos over to you.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Even he regrets about the way you played on Friday
night in the second half, he said, what you thn
he regrets bout the way you played in the game.
Speaker 10 (24:08):
I'm not talking about the.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Home wrong question.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Sound like a big.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Question, all right, So a couple of things on that.
The first thought is at the end there he never
answered the question because there's no answer. He literally was
dogging it on the court and he knows it. So
there's no that was a loaded question. There is no
answer by not by saying what he did, John Ran.
He answered the question. He confirmed the premise of the question.
(24:37):
So that's that. And then the sarcasm, Well they if
they said it they were, they wouldn't lie. Of course
they by all the time. The other thing too, I
don't know about your job. I don't know what you
do for a living, like listen to the radio show.
Like most people at work don't have joy every day,
Like we have great jobs. I work. I'm a wonderful job.
(24:58):
I'm a radio show. I want to have a er
show and was a kid. I got one. I'm on
a bunch of radio stations. You're blessed. I'm very lucky.
I don't come in here every day with joy. Lorena,
you're always pretty happy. But there are days, Right you've
been here a couple of years now, there are days
you come in here and you're like, oh man, thinks
are not perfect, but I gotta do the show whatever, right, Yeah,
I suppose there are days like that, and Coops the
(25:19):
same way. It's just that's life. You're not gonna have
joy every day. There's no no, no matter what your
job is. Now, as long as you have more good
days than bad days, that's it. But it just seems
like Ja Morant's it's gonna be traded. Who knows, Maybe
not the Lakers go to the Celtics. Whoever.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Anyway, So while I do like the way that Ja
Morant plays basketball, there's a butt there is. The butt
is that the Lakers already have the best backcourt in
the NBA, So I don't really need stops?
Speaker 10 (25:47):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Are you kidding me? You know he didn't. What happeneding
is Minnesota when Austin Reeves was out on Lake Minnetonka,
Well that was going anyway, Let's go to the falls,
Big balls Bob if I tease this hours ago, Hello
big balls Bob from Vegas, the karaoke king, Big Balls Bob.

so there's.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
More than one.
Speaker 10 (26:53):
Yeah, a couple. So the other day you were talking
about putting a sandwich in the microwave, and my son
did that once. He put a burrito and just to
warm it up for seventeen minutes, almost burn the house down.
Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 1 (27:13):
What time? Out of time? So I understand the mistake.
If you put it in for like two minutes, right,
seventeen minutes? What did he what it was?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
He?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Did you go out and take a walk around the block.
What was anything needs to be microwave that long? What
was your son doing?
Speaker 10 (27:30):
I guess I will try to burn the house doun.
Have you ever seen a microwave plate glowing bright red? Oh?
Like mold? It was molten. When when I heard that
story about the microwave, I brought back smoky memories, a.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Great, great family story just.
Speaker 10 (27:52):
And I asked him every now and then if he
wants to warm up with burrito.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yeah. Well, of course, you know, just in case you
should be working in a restaurant somewhere.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Is what do you do, right, just say, you know,
the Raiders or the Faders. This Allegiance Stadium here, whenever
a visiting team comes in, it's it's an opposing team's
you know stadium. Yeah, there were so many Chicago Bears
(28:20):
fans there, it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah. Well, what you should do if you want a
good investment, Bob is buy Raiders season tickets and then
just sell them on the secondary market. You'll make a killing.
They have the highest ticket prices on the secondary market,
the Raiders because everyone's ben there. Even with all the
people trash in Vegas and all the prices of parking
and all that soff, people are still going there for
the for the games.
Speaker 10 (28:43):
Yeah, and have to refinance the house.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
It's perfect because you go to Vegas and you're guaranteed
to win because the Raiders blow, and you can gamble
for the weekend and then go back home and you're
surrounded by your fans, your fellow fans if you were
a Bears fan and all that stuf. So anyway, all right, Bob, Well,
sorry about your cap. I'll hang in there, get you
get another one. All I will Moxie, my dog, Moxie.
(29:09):
I'll be very sad when Moxie goes to the big
the big puppy puppy mill in the sky or whatever
the hell that is. I don't know why didn't I
screwed that up? But I don't know. What's the big
dog park? The big dog park, the dog park, big
dog park. Yeah, there are no fleas, are there? No
(29:29):
fleas in in the dog park in.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
No fleas, no fleas in the I just I just
want to point out real quick.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Sorry.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
So I was in Vegas this past weekend for for
my wife's birthday, and I got a call from Lorena.
Who is I sensed a little little bit of upset tone.
Apparently this you know, the whole microwave story.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
I guess there was a promo that somehow ended up
playing on the network.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Well you were in charge of that isn't what I
think you We'll see. That's why she do, That's why
she called me. I have nothing to do with the promos.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
I know.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
She's like, did you save the whole rant about me
burning the micwave. I'm like, I'm like, no, I why
would I do that any way, So somebody went in
and pulled that rand. That's what That's what I thought.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
But it turns out that during one of your monologues
that I did save a promo for you just you
just made a quick mention to it.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Oh yeah, a reference. So yeah, yes, Loraine almost burned down.
So I got a text.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
I was like, I just heard about you almost burning
down the studio during a promo and I was like,
you did what?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
No, Lora got listen, I am such a hot woman.
I burned, almost burned the whole place down. Leave out
the part of a microwave. Just say that boom done.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
But in this doing the research and finding out what
this was about, I did find out that way back
in the day, John Ramos also almost burned down the studio.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Great John Ramos now a high school coach, right.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Yeah, yeah, baseball don't know, I don't know, but yeah,
he tried to similar to a Big Ball's Bobs story,
he tried to microwave something for like ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
It's unfortunate. Hey, Speaking of fir Stinger coaches, you see
Gottlieb Green Bay got smoked by Kansas last night, lost
by like forty, lost by like forty. Doug Sweaton, he
likes a sweats going. It's going well over. Yes, they're
only like five or six guys in the portal away
from winning. Uh, that's all the course that no one
(31:27):
is anyone in the portal going to Green Bay?
Speaker 3 (31:29):
You know?
Speaker 9 (31:30):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And anybody probably not? Let's go to Mark on the
north end. What's going on? Mark? Welcome?
Speaker 10 (31:35):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (31:36):
Ben So I also heard, I don't know how true
it is that the coach of the Falcons also complained
about the field conditions and that the fans were too loud.
What's next is is he gonna complain that the Patriots
and tell them that Pacermo sucks before they let him.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah, well that always kills me, the guys that complain
about everything's got to be perfect. Do you see?
Speaker 8 (31:59):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
George Kittle the forty nine ers said he wants every
stadium to have the same exact turf. No one can
have a different turf. It has to be exactly the same.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
For George Kittle, you know what, they need to all
go back to real grass.
Speaker 9 (32:12):
I love it when it gets muddy, when it rains.
I love it when it gets torn up. This way,
nobody has an advantage for anything.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Well, we give the Patriots advantage though, because they're used
to the weather and all that stuff. I don't mind.
I don't care. It's just the I don't mind whether
it's on I don't play. So if it's on turf,
it looks nice on television. If it's on grass, that's fine.
He gets all torn up. I like the snow games
no matter what. I'm all about it. And he's got
they can play about everything though.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
Yeah, but dude, do you believe that the field, this
new field turf that they have, Do you believe it
causes a lot of injuries?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Uh no, i'n't done a study on it.
Speaker 10 (32:46):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
You just see a lot of non compact injuries all
of a sudden in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I see a lot of injuries. Every every weekend. I
see guys yead.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I don't really do invantory. I mean every time I'm
watching on Sunday, I see all that guy's going. He's
on the cart, He's gone. That guy Tucker Kraft a
tight end in Green Bay for I hurt. That was
on grass in Green Bay. He's gone out for the
year a cl right.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
Done well on the Patriots this year or is it
more because of that they got the easiest schedule and.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
All right, well, let you go. No, I don't think
they're a great team. They've beaten bad teams, which is fine.
You're supposed to beat bad teams. It's it's kind of
like climbing up the ladder and it's like the first
step and you beat a bunch of bad teams. And
the Patriots have had the gift and really that Gerrod
Mayo is the star of this Patriot team. He sucks
so bad last year as coach of the Patriots that
(33:39):
they were rewarded with the schedule. Seriously, Girrod Mayo was
such a bad coach and they and they still and
it would have been even worse if they'd won that
last game against Buffalo Team MVP Grod Mayo. Yeah, that's
that's a good that's a good one. Thank you. That
good take. Yeah, that's a solid take about that good take.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
I know we're guess, but I want to throw this
out there because it's been bothering me.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
So I Brian know has.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Been from the No Show he's been busting my balls
about what the Broncos and remind me because he's asking,
you know, is the are the Patriots legit or easy?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Schedule? He said?
Speaker 6 (34:14):
He texted me over the weekend he said, I think
the Broncos are the worst seven and two team in
the history of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
What do you think?
Speaker 10 (34:21):
Man?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Uh No, they're not the worst seven and two teams.
Although I did see him gag against the.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
That's that's all I need to hear, because I know
that you would not say something for my benefits.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
But they have more legitimate wins than thank you, well,
not many, though they did beat the Paul Now they
beat the Eagles, that's a big time win. The Texans,
I don't know, can you really? That's not a signature win.
You beat the Texans? Come on, I know they got
(34:57):
a good defense and c. J. Stroud got hurt in
that game.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah, they're better than the Patriots, though the Patriots have
had their win was against Buffalo. Everything else is just
Tomato kan City. All right, is the Ben Mahler Show.

JJ Reddick,
Knock, knock, who's there? That would be our number for
our number four is at your audio door. And here
in our number four we discuss the controversy from New England.
Do you think Mike Rabel's Patriots clapped to mess with
the Falcons offense? That is the accusation being made by
(00:21):
the Atlanta coach Raheem Morris. Also Jerry Jones, whose Cowboys
lost on Monday Night. Jerry's explaining the Cowboys success. He's
talked about what the key is to staying in the
headlines there and staying controversial. Is that the magic formula that?
We'll talk about that and is there a deeper meaning
to Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski not commenting on the success
(00:45):
of Joe Flacco, the former Cleveland quarterback in Cincinnati. We'll
talk about that and more right now, have a wonderful Tuesday.
Buckle up for our number four here it is, call
it a clap if you will, welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are
(01:08):
in the air everywhere as we chirp away, and we
are aged to perfection unless we're not. We're definitely made

is yours. So our lead this hour is from New England.
And you don't really take the Patriots seriously unless they're
involved in a scandal. So now we have to take
(03:17):
them seriously because there's a scant. That's the way it works.
I didn't make the rules. Those are the rules we enter.
Raheem Morris, the coach of Atlanta, not for long. The
Falcon's head coach, Raheem Morris, who raised a few eyebrows
at a What was he saying over there? Yeah, he
cried foul. The Falcon coach was upset after a one
(03:42):
point loss. Atlanta was matriculating the ball down the field
in Foxborough on Sunday, and they were moving the ball.
They were close to field goal range, they were at midfield.
There was a couple of minutes to go in the game,
and the claim is the Patriots simulated the snap count
that the claim you, I don't if you saw this
or not. I guess it's been talked about according to
(04:03):
some of the emails I got from you guys that
listening on the sports up in Boston. It's been talked
about a lot there. I would imagine it would be.
I don't know, they just been talked about much outside
of there. It seems like a pretty good story to me.
And so if you didn't see it, Morris says the
Patriots defense clapped and tricked the center to prematurely snap
the ball, which led to the quarterback Michael Pennox Junior,
(04:26):
rather frazzled to then get rid of the ball early,
and he was penalized for intentional grounding on that particular play,
which meant a loss of down and a bunch of
yards that were lost. It was insurmountable for the Falcons
to come back, and they ended up losing the game.
Here's Rhyhee Morris, though some of the comments he made
(04:46):
about the situation take a list.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
They did a nice job they stimulated a snap. The
ball came early. We was snapped early with the next snap.
That was when we got the intentional grounding. Nice job
by LS guys. Great situation to football, great play they
were clapping simulated on snap. Got to snap the ball enough.
That's what a ball snapped earlier, Mike, when he wasn't
ready for snap.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I sensed a bit of sarcasm in that. Just a
little bit. My sarcasm radar went off on that. Yeah,
And now Mike Rabel responded, he was asked, and it's
what we do media beat riders especially, it's like, did
you hear what he said? Did you hear what he said? So,
Mike Rabel was asked about the clap gate, the Cadence gate,
(05:26):
the Patriots coach. Patriots feeling pretty good about themselves. They're
in the number two seed in the AFC. Here's Mike
Rabel his response to the accusation being made by the
Falcons coach take as.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I don't think annoyed. I'm trying to not waste any
more time looking for anybody clapping. I don't see anything
certainly that wasn't anybody's intent, And I don't think that
we've ever coached at or talked about that.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Right, Well, the SoundBite was cut off early, but one
of the reporters named the player that clapped. Like the
reporters watched it and brought his name up and then
was like, oh boy, he was on the ropes, and uh,
it was great. All right. So anyway, it's a good
jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Do you
think Mike Rabel's patriots intentionally clapped to mess with the
(06:15):
Falcon offense? Yes, Clapgate has it right. So I've got
nineteen eighties infomercial finger Licking and New York Times bestseller,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are gonna make the Gobba goool. We're gonna make
the Gobba goool. Not a leadoff to answer the question,
(06:36):
do I think this was an intentional act by Mike
Rabel's patriots? I am nodding my head. Yes, I am
nodding my head yes on this. Now that's it. Let
us stop pretending, and I'm not saying you are, but
there's people on the media that did just go crazy
over this stuff. Let's not pretend this is like the
second coming of Watergate or something like that. It certainly
doesn't rise to the level of the cheating a he
(07:00):
does not rise to that. So, as I understand, there
is a rule. So if you look at the rule here,
there is a rule. But to my knowledge, there is
no individual rule that. See, you cannot clap. So I
fell down a rabbit hole. And unless I'm getting bad
information here, as I understand it, the rule in the
(07:20):
NFL is you cannot simulate the stapcount right, you cannot
do that. You can't yell hut hut or set or omaha, omaha,
oh my, you can't do that. Clapping I do not
believe is covered under that. I don't believe it is
now it is allowed. From what I read, this is
a loophole. It is a bit of a gray area,
(07:43):
the whole saga. If you're old enough, there was a
famous infomercial back in the nineteen eighties, Clap on, Clap
off the clapper. Just like that. My clap was not
that strong, and there's a mic in front of me.
But listen, players clap all the time. In fact, sometimes
when I have a really good segment, Koper Loop and
Lorena will stand up and clap in the studio it's
(08:03):
really just I'm touched. I'm touched when I It doesn't happen,
maybe more than once a week, but they'll stand up
and just start clapping. People clap, hype guys clap, right,
they clap. They do it every play. You get linebackers
jumping up and down, doing jumping jacks and all that stuff. Clapping, stomping, barking,
all of those things. It's ingrained in the DNA of football.
(08:25):
So if a clap, a strategically placed clap by the Patriots,
caused the Falcon Center to launch the ball early, that
doesn't seem like a Patriot problem. That seems like a
problem for the Atlanta Falcons that they're so fragile that's
set up that offense from the shotgun formation, that they're
(08:48):
so left up that this is their problem. It's kind
of like blaming the weather for the fumble, like you
know some losers do that they do. You're telling me
your center, your offensive line has such fragility that one
clap causes the whole house of cards to come tumbling down.
It's not that complicated. It's not you. You're supposed to
(09:11):
practice cadence discipline. They talk about it in the game
of football. And if a little bit of a clap
like that, I just dear that like that. I did
another clap if that causes this big a problem, but
that's on you. So I do think it was intentional.
I think Mike Rabel's team found a weak spot and
(09:33):
they waited till the perfect moment to exploit the weak spot.
They found a little bit of a gray area, and
the Falcons tripped over their their shoes, their own shoes, right,
just tripped over their own shoes and all that stuff.
Belichick now he's long gone, right, he's losing games. All
they did beat North Carolina, beat Syracuse, which I guess
(09:53):
is Syracuse, and that could either. But the New Zealand
now they're back. To me, this is a sign they
are back. You watch the NFL. Now, if the Patriots
keep winning, this will become more of an issue going forward.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Here.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
They'll put some language in the rules committee no excess clapping. Yeah,
good luck enforcing that. Good luck enforcing that. Right, you're
gonna throw flags for enthusiasm now if they do it.
The NFL does do it right every once in a while,
and they legal clarify it. Until they clarify it clap clap,
the clapper, flap clap, and the Falcons got beaten by
(10:29):
a clap. Imagine how embarrassed. It's bad enough if you're
a Falcon fan and then to lose a game because
your center hert a clap and then snapped the ball
prematurely and then your quarterback panicked. I mean, this is
so stupid. It's like Avilian comedy act for the Atlanta Falcons.
And so it's not the Patriots are not the issue.
(10:53):
It's the Falcons is embarrassing, and it's the Atlanta Falcons
who have cornered the market within kind of lost. It's
the same old story snapgate, flop gate, twenty eight to
three gate in the Super Bowl. And it's like they're
a museum of self inflicted wounds. They really are, all right. Now,
(11:13):
furthermore to Dallas we go. How about them Cowboys. The
Cowboys got smacked around against the Cardinals in the Monday
night football game. It was a domination situation. How bad
of the Cowboys. They're so bad that Jacoby Brissett like
a ninja, slice them up on national television in an
(11:33):
island game. Now, the story here prior to that loss
Jerry Jones went on satellite radio with former Fox Sports
Radio Morning Guy, who, by the way, had no ratings
when he worked here, Stephen A. Smith, and said that
the Cowboys quote stay relevant because he stirs the pot.
He says, quote when he gets slow, I stir the
(11:55):
I'm gonna edit this the poop up. He says, that's
the quote. He's given similar quotes in the past. He's
not hiding it. The question for the panel of experts,
which you're a part of, Jerry Jones explaining the Cowboy
success is, he said, staying out in front and staying controversial,
(12:18):
is that really the magic? Is that the magic? So
that is after a couple of minutes of deliberation, that
is the abra cadabra. That is the hocus pocus. That
is the secret sauce is what that is? It's finger
licking good, finger licking good. Jerry Jones is the Colonel
Sanders of NFL ownership. He serves up the original recipe,
(12:43):
same recipe has been serving since the late eighties. Eleven
herbs and spices, one giant ego, one giant ego, and
you've got a little pinch of controversy, just a little
pinch of controversy, a dash of delusion, just a dash
the whole bucket, whole bucket of hype. And Jerry's running
(13:04):
the KFC in Dallas, the Crazy Football Circus, Crazy with
a K, the Crazy Football Circus. There Extra crispy is
you want, you want extra crispy, you can get extra
That defense is extra crispy. Man, are they bad? And
every year it is the most dependable thing we have.
If you're a fledgling talk shows, these are good jobs.
I hope you can get one someday as a sports
(13:24):
talk shows. They're fun jobs. And every year you know
that Jerry Jones is going to give you something that
he's got you. It's the same thing. The Cowboys go
out there with much optimism. This is the year of
the Cowboys, and they go out there and they get
put in the slow cooker and they're just marinating in
(13:46):
that slow cooker and they're clout farming on steroids is
what they're doing. And you've got other generational brands. You
look around, the Packers, the Steelers, the forty nine Ers
are generational brands and all that. Butarry Jones he's the
one unlike those other generational teams in the NFL. Jerry
is the one standing on the roof of the megaphone
(14:07):
and he's doing his thing, and any publicity is good publicity.
He's playing grab ass with Steven A in the box.
They put him on television. Of course they did. Why
wouldn't they. It's a naval gazing thing. Though he might
not have seen it because apparently if you have YouTube TV,
you're exed out on that because of a bunch of
people fighting over your money. The Cowboys don't just lose
(14:29):
games though, no, no, no, they trend. They got their ass
kicked by a backup quarterback and everyone's talking about them
and they're not talking about Jacoby Brissett. And so Jerry's
figured it out again. The eleven herbs and spices. He's
got the proprietary, proprietary blend, whether it's regional recipe or
extra crispy, and just stay messy and stay relevant. And
that's the way to go, all right. Last thing, we
(14:51):
go to Ohio where Dick and Dayton is the number
one Cleveland sports fan, and I know Spiccoli's like, well,
how are you bringing up this again? Okay, let's get storty.
So Kevin Stefanski was asked this week about his former
quarterback Joe Flacco, who had four hundred and seventy yards
passing and a gaggle of touchdowns against the Chicago Bears.
(15:16):
He just lit it up for the Bengals against Chicago.
And what did he say? He was asked for a comment,
and Kevin Stemanski did he a say, I'm very happy
for Joe Flacco. He was a great Cleveland Brown. I'm
happy that he's doing well in Cincinnati. B did he
say I'm bummed out that we don't have Joe Flacco anymore,
(15:38):
but I'm happy that he's doing well in Cincinnati or
see no comment? All right, pens down reveal answers reveal
answers the correct answer. He said no comment, no comment,
so see see question. Is there a deeper meaning to
Kevin Stefanski not commenting on a low hanging fruit question,
(16:04):
a real simple layup line question about Joe Flacco and
his success. So I am nodding my head. Yes, I
am nodding my head. Yes, there is more to this story.
There's a deeper meaning, And I will give you some
psychobabble if you want. I'm not in my yes, because
this is a break into corn. Now, you and I
(16:25):
both know from paying attention to this stuff that the
way business is done in that industry, you typically get
asked a t ball question, like any comment about Joe
Flacco passing for four hundred and seventy yards and four touchdowns.
What is the normal protocol? You do the polite thing.
You throw some niceties out, you say, Oh, I am
so happy for Joe Flacco. Oh my god, I love
(16:48):
Joe fuck out. I love it. The guy. He's a
great guy. He's a great dad, even though he's left
his family behind to play pro football in his forties.
He's such a good guy. Joe flackout. I just hope
he doesn't do well when we play him. That's it.
That's all you have to say. That's the New York
Times best selling Complete Idiots Guide to Coach Speak. That
(17:10):
is not what happened here. That is not what Kevin
Stefanski did. Instead, the plot thickens. Kevin Stefanski went radio silent,
radio silent, gave you old no comment, right witness protection,
no comment. And that tells me what. It tells me
that he's either mad that Flaco is traded or he's
(17:32):
mad where Flaco is traded, or all of the above,
all of the above, that it didn't seem like he
was the one behind the benching that that went from
management above him. So no comment is a comment. There's
there's a there there. When you say no comment, it
(17:53):
means I did not sign off on the trade. I
did not approve the trade of Cincinnati, And the guy's
making me look like a dope and I'm stuck with
his slop like Dylan Gabriel and Shadur Sanders is more
worried about his next post on X than he is
about playing football and all that stuff. So that's what
that means. And the Browns are the NFL's version of
(18:15):
a bad breakup playlist, is what they are. Every track
is about regret and envy and self sabotage. That's the Browns.
That's the Browns there and Joe Flacco over there balling. Now,
the Bengals did lose the game, not because Joe Flacco
balling in the Cincinnati offense and Kevin Stefanski we mentioned
this in a previous hour. He's been demoted. He's no
(18:38):
longer calling the place he was hired as an offensive guru,
and he has been demoted giving up the play calling,
which is normally what happens before you get fired. If
you don't believe me, asked the Tennessee Titans. Remember the
Tennessee Titans demoted their coach as the offensive play caller
and then eventually fired him. Callahan was fired as the coach.
(18:58):
So Flacco's killing it in terms of touchdown passes, and
he's not getting sacked that much and all that stuff.
And Stefanski's got a bunch of quarterbacks that are folded
up and ice cold, ice cold, and it's it's petty,
it's insecure. It's Cleveland Browns football in a nutshell, and
(19:20):
you can't even fake it. I'm happy he didn't. I'm
happy he didn't fake it. It wouldn't have been anything
that got on my radar. If Stefanski has said I'm
happy for Joe Flacco. I hope he continues to do well,
just not against us. He didn't say that, though he
said no comment. It is the Ben Mahler Show. We
always give a comment. Eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
(19:43):
So one of the highest paid professional athletes is having
a conniption fit and has lost his joy. What is
that all about? We'll get to that and we will
do it next.

episode we'll be dropping later this week for week ten
in the NFL. Now, back to it all, right, back
to it we go, Alf the alien Opin says, I'd
really like to applaud you on another terrific monologue, but
I don't want to throw you off your game. Thank you.
(21:18):
There you go. Clap, clap the clapper. There you go, absolutely,
hatch Daddy writes in a he says his name Hatch Daddy.
He's a Minnesota guy, he says, to go back to
the Falcon Center. I used to play center back in
high school. Oh, this guy's an expert. Hash Daddy, he says,
(21:40):
back in my day, and of course there isn't a
lot of noise unlike in the NFL. But I always
looked back to check if my quarterback was rapidly signaling
to hike the ball, or I would tap my uh
or I would tap my ear hole if I was
having trouble. Yeah, you know, he meant, you know the helm.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
There's a hole in the helmet where your ear is.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Oh right, right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, Hey cool.
You think John Moran's going to be traded to the Lakers.
I just get the vibe he's gonna end up with
the Lakers. I just have this feeling he's gonna end
up with the Lakers. I just get this vibe.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
That's the first I've ever heard of that. Well, I
wouldn't I would maybe enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Well, he's John Morant's not happy. He he got suspended
from malfeasance. Uh the other day John Morant against the Lakers.
Actually the game over the weekend that nobody watched because
it's early season NBA. But John Moran apparently was lolly
gagging around, he wasn't hustling, and he got suspended, got
into it with the coach of the Grizzlies. No, I
don't even know who the name of the coach of
(22:40):
the Grizzlies is. They keep changing coaches there. Anyway, John
Morant when he came back, he played in the game
last night, and he then had a hissy fit. After
the game. He pointed out that apparently the joy, the
joy that John Morant had in basketball's gone. We have
a little day of that. Audio is a little ardius.
This is John Morant, one of the highest paid players
(23:02):
in the NBA, one of the stars of the NBA,
who loves to play with real guns and fake guns.
And here's jam Ran in the coaching staff.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I want to talk about what happened Friday and Lama.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Yeah, I asked that question to them.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Huh, what about for you?
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Yeah, I asked that question. You'll know the answer to that.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Do you feel like everything's been resolved?
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Yeah? They told you that, right, Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
From you?
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Obviously they can't go and tell y'all something mindset.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Want to beat. Okay, like do you get the same
joy right now?
Speaker 7 (23:36):
But we used to see it from them?
Speaker 8 (23:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Why not?
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Mhmm?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
What can be done to get it back?
Speaker 9 (23:46):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Do you think you have a good relationship with the franchise?
Speaker 8 (23:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (23:50):
General, yeah, they told you all that, right, you probably
had a good relationship. I wouldn't talk to him about all.
So well, then you've got our convos over to you.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Even he regrets about the way you played on Friday
night in the second half, he said, what you thn
he regrets bout the way you played in the game.
Speaker 10 (24:08):
I'm not talking about the.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Home wrong question.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Sound like a big.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Question, all right, So a couple of things on that.
The first thought is at the end there he never
answered the question because there's no answer. He literally was
dogging it on the court and he knows it. So
there's no that was a loaded question. There is no
answer by not by saying what he did, John Ran.
He answered the question. He confirmed the premise of the question.
(24:37):
So that's that. And then the sarcasm, Well they if
they said it they were, they wouldn't lie. Of course
they by all the time. The other thing too, I
don't know about your job. I don't know what you
do for a living, like listen to the radio show.
Like most people at work don't have joy every day,
Like we have great jobs. I work. I'm a wonderful job.
(24:58):
I'm a radio show. I want to have a er
show and was a kid. I got one. I'm on
a bunch of radio stations. You're blessed. I'm very lucky.
I don't come in here every day with joy. Lorena,
you're always pretty happy. But there are days, Right you've
been here a couple of years now, there are days
you come in here and you're like, oh man, thinks
are not perfect, but I gotta do the show whatever, right, Yeah,
I suppose there are days like that, and Coops the
(25:19):
same way. It's just that's life. You're not gonna have
joy every day. There's no no, no matter what your
job is. Now, as long as you have more good
days than bad days, that's it. But it just seems
like Ja Morant's it's gonna be traded. Who knows, Maybe
not the Lakers go to the Celtics. Whoever.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Anyway, So while I do like the way that Ja
Morant plays basketball, there's a butt there is. The butt
is that the Lakers already have the best backcourt in
the NBA, So I don't really need stops?
Speaker 10 (25:47):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Are you kidding me? You know he didn't. What happeneding
is Minnesota when Austin Reeves was out on Lake Minnetonka,
Well that was going anyway, Let's go to the falls,
Big balls Bob if I tease this hours ago, Hello
big balls Bob from Vegas, the karaoke king, Big Balls Bob.
Speaker 10 (26:07):
Hey, guys, are I want to thank you for enlightening
my heart? My twenty year old cat passed away, and
you guys make me laugh.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So Micha A. Dolens is there. That's a good run though. Yeah,
here's d Yeah.
Speaker 10 (26:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
His name was Sas the cat, as the kitty Cat.
That's it.
Speaker 10 (26:34):
Lorraina a happy belated birthday.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Thank you birthday. It's not her birthday month anymore, but
I feel like it's like a month of celebration, even
though it's no longer your birthday month. I feel like.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
There's a there's a bar here open twenty four to seven,
so there's.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
More than one.
Speaker 10 (26:53):
Yeah, a couple. So the other day you were talking
about putting a sandwich in the microwave, and my son
did that once. He put a burrito and just to
warm it up for seventeen minutes, almost burn the house down.
Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 1 (27:13):
What time? Out of time? So I understand the mistake.
If you put it in for like two minutes, right,
seventeen minutes? What did he what it was?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
He?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Did you go out and take a walk around the block.
What was anything needs to be microwave that long? What
was your son doing?
Speaker 10 (27:30):
I guess I will try to burn the house doun.
Have you ever seen a microwave plate glowing bright red? Oh?
Like mold? It was molten. When when I heard that
story about the microwave, I brought back smoky memories, a.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Great, great family story just.
Speaker 10 (27:52):
And I asked him every now and then if he
wants to warm up with burrito.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yeah. Well, of course, you know, just in case you
should be working in a restaurant somewhere.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Is what do you do, right, just say, you know,
the Raiders or the Faders. This Allegiance Stadium here, whenever
a visiting team comes in, it's it's an opposing team's
you know stadium. Yeah, there were so many Chicago Bears
(28:20):
fans there, it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah. Well, what you should do if you want a
good investment, Bob is buy Raiders season tickets and then
just sell them on the secondary market. You'll make a killing.
They have the highest ticket prices on the secondary market,
the Raiders because everyone's ben there. Even with all the
people trash in Vegas and all the prices of parking
and all that soff, people are still going there for
the for the games.
Speaker 10 (28:43):
Yeah, and have to refinance the house.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
It's perfect because you go to Vegas and you're guaranteed
to win because the Raiders blow, and you can gamble
for the weekend and then go back home and you're
surrounded by your fans, your fellow fans if you were
a Bears fan and all that stuf. So anyway, all right, Bob, Well,
sorry about your cap. I'll hang in there, get you
get another one. All I will Moxie, my dog, Moxie.
(29:09):
I'll be very sad when Moxie goes to the big
the big puppy puppy mill in the sky or whatever
the hell that is. I don't know why didn't I
screwed that up? But I don't know. What's the big
dog park? The big dog park, the dog park, big
dog park. Yeah, there are no fleas, are there? No
(29:29):
fleas in in the dog park in.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
No fleas, no fleas in the I just I just
want to point out real quick.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Sorry.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
So I was in Vegas this past weekend for for
my wife's birthday, and I got a call from Lorena.
Who is I sensed a little little bit of upset tone.
Apparently this you know, the whole microwave story.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
I guess there was a promo that somehow ended up
playing on the network.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Well you were in charge of that isn't what I
think you We'll see. That's why she do, That's why
she called me. I have nothing to do with the promos.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
I know.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
She's like, did you save the whole rant about me
burning the micwave. I'm like, I'm like, no, I why
would I do that any way, So somebody went in
and pulled that rand. That's what That's what I thought.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
But it turns out that during one of your monologues
that I did save a promo for you just you
just made a quick mention to it.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Oh yeah, a reference. So yeah, yes, Loraine almost burned down.
So I got a text.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
I was like, I just heard about you almost burning
down the studio during a promo and I was like,
you did what?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
No, Lora got listen, I am such a hot woman.
I burned, almost burned the whole place down. Leave out
the part of a microwave. Just say that boom done.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
But in this doing the research and finding out what
this was about, I did find out that way back
in the day, John Ramos also almost burned down the studio.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Great John Ramos now a high school coach, right.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Yeah, yeah, baseball don't know, I don't know, but yeah,
he tried to similar to a Big Ball's Bobs story,
he tried to microwave something for like ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
It's unfortunate. Hey, Speaking of fir Stinger coaches, you see
Gottlieb Green Bay got smoked by Kansas last night, lost
by like forty, lost by like forty. Doug Sweaton, he
likes a sweats going. It's going well over. Yes, they're
only like five or six guys in the portal away
from winning. Uh, that's all the course that no one
(31:27):
is anyone in the portal going to Green Bay?
Speaker 3 (31:29):
You know?
Speaker 9 (31:30):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And anybody probably not? Let's go to Mark on the
north end. What's going on? Mark? Welcome?
Speaker 10 (31:35):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (31:36):
Ben So I also heard, I don't know how true
it is that the coach of the Falcons also complained
about the field conditions and that the fans were too loud.
What's next is is he gonna complain that the Patriots
and tell them that Pacermo sucks before they let him.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah, well that always kills me, the guys that complain
about everything's got to be perfect. Do you see?
Speaker 8 (31:59):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
George Kittle the forty nine ers said he wants every
stadium to have the same exact turf. No one can
have a different turf. It has to be exactly the same.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
For George Kittle, you know what, they need to all
go back to real grass.
Speaker 9 (32:12):
I love it when it gets muddy, when it rains.
I love it when it gets torn up. This way,
nobody has an advantage for anything.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Well, we give the Patriots advantage though, because they're used
to the weather and all that stuff. I don't mind.
I don't care. It's just the I don't mind whether
it's on I don't play. So if it's on turf,
it looks nice on television. If it's on grass, that's fine.
He gets all torn up. I like the snow games
no matter what. I'm all about it. And he's got
they can play about everything though.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
Yeah, but dude, do you believe that the field, this
new field turf that they have, Do you believe it
causes a lot of injuries?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Uh no, i'n't done a study on it.
Speaker 10 (32:46):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
You just see a lot of non compact injuries all
of a sudden in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I see a lot of injuries. Every every weekend. I
see guys yead.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I don't really do invantory. I mean every time I'm
watching on Sunday, I see all that guy's going. He's
on the cart, He's gone. That guy Tucker Kraft a
tight end in Green Bay for I hurt. That was
on grass in Green Bay. He's gone out for the
year a cl right.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
Done well on the Patriots this year or is it
more because of that they got the easiest schedule and.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
All right, well, let you go. No, I don't think
they're a great team. They've beaten bad teams, which is fine.
You're supposed to beat bad teams. It's it's kind of
like climbing up the ladder and it's like the first
step and you beat a bunch of bad teams. And
the Patriots have had the gift and really that Gerrod
Mayo is the star of this Patriot team. He sucks
so bad last year as coach of the Patriots that
(33:39):
they were rewarded with the schedule. Seriously, Girrod Mayo was
such a bad coach and they and they still and
it would have been even worse if they'd won that
last game against Buffalo Team MVP Grod Mayo. Yeah, that's
that's a good that's a good one. Thank you. That
good take. Yeah, that's a solid take about that good take.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
I know we're guess, but I want to throw this
out there because it's been bothering me.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
So I Brian know has.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Been from the No Show he's been busting my balls
about what the Broncos and remind me because he's asking,
you know, is the are the Patriots legit or easy?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Schedule? He said?
Speaker 6 (34:14):
He texted me over the weekend he said, I think
the Broncos are the worst seven and two team in
the history of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
What do you think?
Speaker 10 (34:21):
Man?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Uh No, they're not the worst seven and two teams.
Although I did see him gag against the.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
That's that's all I need to hear, because I know
that you would not say something for my benefits.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
But they have more legitimate wins than thank you, well,
not many, though they did beat the Paul Now they
beat the Eagles, that's a big time win. The Texans,
I don't know, can you really? That's not a signature win.
You beat the Texans? Come on, I know they got
(34:57):
a good defense and c. J. Stroud got hurt in
that game.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah, they're better than the Patriots, though the Patriots have
had their win was against Buffalo. Everything else is just
