Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number full Happy Tuesday. I hope you're doing well.
Thank you for supporting the podcast. And here in our
number four, it's all about the comments. We parse the
words of CEO Kevin Warren, who says the Bears coaching
job is the most coveted in the NFL. Thumbs up
or thumbs down on that. Also, Bill Belichick says Aaron
(00:25):
Rogers could rebound next season. How does that take hit you?
And looking into the future, does Russell Wilson have the
Steelers by the footballs in terms of his contract for
next season.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
We'll talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
All that and more right now. Have a wonderful Tuesday.
Here it is the original recipe our number four.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Is it Bear down or Bear up? Welcome?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
We are in the a everywhere. We're sleeping over if
you will.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
We've been up all night and we have takes for
every single mood we do.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
We're hanging out coast to coast, border to border and
beyond on the vast and whimsically powerful microphones of fs
are emmnating live from the stand. Not Kazakistan or who's Bekistan.
It's mallard Stan. That's where we hang out. We're broadcasting

Has been that many days since Gunbaye Daves started listening
to the show in Florida back.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
In the day.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Tiraq dot com the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So it's been quite the night.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
We had a wacky Monday night game high for looting
the full all inclusive Jameis Winston experience.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
The Broncos win the game.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Jamis Winston put on an offensive show, had a Cleveland
Brown franchise record over four hundred and ninety plus yards.
Pay four ninety seven I think was what he finished with,
and was a one man band. It was the Tampa
Bay version of Jameis Winston. It was fun to watch
and the Broncos and they enjoyed it as well. A
(02:25):
couple of pick sixes, almost three pick sixes, and the
Denver Broncos who didn't play well at all on defense,
but still because Winston threw them the ball. A couple
of Times ended up winning the game in a high
scoring classic Monday Nike. But our lead this hour is
from the Windy City. Now over the Thanksgiving break, the
(02:47):
Chicago Bears outdid themselves in position for a late game
field goal. The Bears did the thing you can't do
at the time.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
You can't do it.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
They failed the call time out and fetched ray away
the clock. If you saw the game with the Lions
on Thanksgiving early in the day, you know what happened.
But they fired their head coach the following day, and
so following up on that days after they decommissioned, they're
in battle head coach Matt Eberflus. The Bear CEO Kevin.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Warren met with the media and.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
He addressed the Komodo dragon, the HeLa monster in the room,
the process or process that the Bears are using both
prior to firing Matt Eberflus, and now what they're going
to do now that they've gotten rid of Matt Eberflus
the head coach, meaning what are they gonna do now?
(03:46):
The future of the franchise. I don't know if you
heard any of this. It's a lot of corporate blah
blah blah blah, blah. Perhaps you missed it. So the
money part of this, for our purposes is Kevin Warren.
Here about where the Bears job ranks in NFL hierarchy.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Here is a little taste.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
This is the CEO of the Chicago Bears, Kevin Warren.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Let's take a listen. We are in a unique situation.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
This will be the most coveted job in the National
Football League this year, and Ryan and I need to
work hand in hand together to make sure we bring.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
That to life.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
All right, So right there, that's all we need.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
In side of the amount of salary cap space that
the Bears have, it's estimated to be over.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Eighty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
That's a fair amount of dead presidence, plenty of draft
capital in twenty twenty five. If you're a draft nerd,
you can get all excited about that and the opportunity
to coach a rising star, allegedly Caleb Williams, who was
the number one overall pick in the twenty twenty four
(04:54):
NFL draft. So, as you heard, Warren believes that that
job is the top job in the NFL. So let
us discuss we'll break down the money quote. The question
for the esteem panel CEO of the Bears, Kevin Warren
says that that job, the head coaching job in Chicago,
the most covered in the NFL. Thumbs up or thumbs
(05:18):
down on that being true. So I've got obstacle, course, bubblegum,
and dirty little secret, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make another
missed three point shot by Lebron James, who is now
six away from the all time record immortality by Lebron,
(05:42):
most consecutive missed three point shots in a row in
NBA history. Lebron showing his age. And there's a reason
he got off social media. He sucks. All right, Now
there's a football monologue. We're talking about the Chicago Bears.
To answer the question thumbs up or thumbs down on
the Chicago Bears job being the most covet in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So I'm gonna go thumbs down. All right. Now, we
don't know all the jobs that are gonna be open.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We believe that there will be anywhere from seven to
ten jobs that will open up around the NFL. The
parting of the Red Sea, if you will, happens every year.
There's usually seven to ten jobs that open up. But
my position is, what did you expect the CEO of
the Chicago Bears to say. Did you expect him to
come out and announce that coaching the Chicago Bears is
(06:32):
a kin to making sneakers at a sweatshop in China
or iPhones?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Probably not right? Probably not.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Of course, he's going to be a cock guide optimist
and sell the virtues of the Chicago Bears. So that's
rather obvious. So you take that with a grain of salt.
But the main reason I'm going thumbs down, not thumbs up,
thumbs down. The main reason here there is not a
clean runway for take off is an obstacle course there
(07:02):
with the Bears. You've got potholes over here, you got
to crack sidewalk over there, you got to navigate.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Through all of this. So what are the negatives?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
We know what the positives are because Kevin Warren is
saying the virtues of the Bears job. What are the
negatives coaching the Chicago Bears. Well, he actually mentioned this
as well, that the Bears have decided to keep the
general manager Ryan Poles around, so the GM remains. So
the guy that hired the last coach that failed is
(07:33):
still there. Right, So you've got this guy who's meddling
with the roster, who continues on as the general manager.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
You also have old money.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And God bless her soul, Virginia Hallis McCaskey, and she's
the oldest owner in the NFL, and I believe the
oldest owner in all of American sports, if not the world.
One hundred and one year years old, and she's still ticking.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And you don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
For sure what's gonna happen when the inevitable happens that
will happen to all of us. There's a state taxes involved,
there's those kinds of things. And while certainly she's not
running the Bears day to day at age one hundred
and one, you never know what happens when there is change.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Right then the ultimate moment happens.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And also, as talented as Caleb Williams is, and every
scout licking their chops about Caleb Williams, Oh my god,
he's so good, he also has kryptonite. And the kryptonite
is he's not that bright. I did you see the end,
everyone blaming Matt Eberflus, the Bear's coach, but Caleb Williams
(08:51):
there's no culpability to Kayleb Williams. He just is so slow.
He's so methodical. There's no sense of urgency. And people
have talked about the amount of times he's been sacked
this year for the Bears. He holds the ball for
too long. Now, you say, well, a good coach will
get him to improve that. I don't know about that.
(09:13):
I mean, the guys's been playing football a long time
and this is the way that he plays.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
He holds the ball for too long.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Remembered, most of the time the sack is on the quarterback,
it's not on the offensive line. If you get rid
of the ball quick, you're not going to get sacked.
You gotta have some rhythm rat of tat tat now. Furthermore,
all right, speaking of former coaches and people that are
looking for work, Bill Belichick, who's got seven or eight
(09:43):
media jobs and is celebrated by the many media punnets.
So Bill Belichick speaking on his I Guess this is
his fledgling podcast that he does with Jim Gray, the
former Patriot coach now turned media guy.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Bill Bell Belichick media guy.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
He says that Jets quarterback Aaron Rogers that Aaron Rodgers
could rebound next season, so that Aaron Rodgers could rebound
next season, and just whether it's a change of scenior
or not.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
So how does that quick take by Bill Belichick get you? Now?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Right away, you're probably say one of those code of
obvious what do you think Belichick was going to say?
But my take on this, for Bill Belichick, that's a
combo meal. What he said there was a combo meal
because Bill Belichick like a snake in the grass, he
wants back. He obviously wants back. He's chasing Don Shula.
I know our friend Stevie Meatbaul's in Florida does not
(10:42):
like this. He's a Dolphin fan. But that's what this
is all about Bill Belichick. He knows there's only thirty
one jobs, well really wring them. He can't coach the
Patriots again, so that's not gonna happen, so that door's closed.
He won't coach the Steelers because Tomlin will be there
until he wants to leave. So there's only thirty jobs.
And of those, Andy Reid, you're not gonna get rid
(11:04):
of Andy Reid for Bill Belichick. So they're really like
twenty nine jobs. And then like Sean McVay, you're not
gonna get rid of McVeigh. So really we're talking about
a handful of jobs, handful of j But the reason
I bring a combo meal as my reaction to what
Belichick said about Aaron Rodgers, we actually asked the magic
gate ball, the almighty, all powerful magic gate ball. We
(11:28):
asked the magic gate ball the question, will Bill Belichick
and Aaron Rodgers look to team up in twenty twenty five?
And the magic gate ball says, signs point to yes,
Signs point to yes.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That's the response with the magic gate ball.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Now, Bill Illichick knows that Aaron Rodgers is likely cooked
with the Jets.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
He's worried of that.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Now, this has not close the door Belichick, even though
he's implied that he doesn't want to coach the Jets,
and he's made some comments about how incompetent the Jets are.
I don't close the door to that because the Jets
are geographically desirable, they're in the right division, they're in
the I ninety five corridor, and there's nothing Bill Belichick
would like more than to stick it to Robert Kraft
(12:14):
and to set the record for wins in a Jets
or whoever. But do it against the pages in that
laundry for somebody else. But the reason I believe the
magic gate ball came back and said, signs point ds.
It's the quick fix. It's we're talking bubble gum here.
We're talking double mint gum, double your pleasure, double your fun.
(12:37):
And Bill Belichick, you're not likely to hire him to
coach a young quarterback, even though I would most NFL
team like, we need to hire a young coach who
can grow with that young quarterback. Belichick's not that guy.
You're not that guy, Pal, You're not that guy. So
the move here would be a quick fix. It would
(12:58):
be the old reunite. And you look around the NFL,
and where could this happen. The obvious spot, although it's
not exactly geographically desirable, would be Nashville, Tennessee. That would
be the spot. You could see it right and you
put side by side. There, you've got on one side,
(13:21):
you've got Aaron Rodgers in the quarterback room, Bill Belichick,
who was born.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
In Nashville, even though he didn't really spend much time there.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
But Bill Belichick coaching Aaron Rodgers, there's no quarterback in Nashville.
The Titans are a rudderless ship. That's an open job.
The division is not very good. Jacksonville blows right. They
thinked the Texans, even though they've got a good record, they've.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Got issues there as well.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You look around the division, you're like, that's a winnable
division with Aaron Rodgers. If Belichick can get something. You
look at at Gumball Land in the Bayou as it
possibly as well. All right, last thing, we quickly sidestep,
we pinwheel our way over to Pittsburgh where they are
still rejoicing the offensive explosion, a super nova for the
(14:07):
much maligned Steelers offense. As I read, and this is
behind a paywall in the Athletic, an opposing NFL executive, No,
they did not put their name on it, told the Athletic,
these Steelers are content to let the season play out.
They're not going to make any decisions for now on
whether to extend Russell Wilson or whether they want to
(14:30):
go with Justin Fields next year and.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Let Russell Wilson leave.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
So the report was rather vague, but it indicated that
no decisions are going to be made right now in
the heat of battle. Now some have tossed out that
because of the way that Russell Wilson has played of late,
that he has leverage over the Pittsburgh football team. So
I asked you the question as the objective observers say,
(14:59):
you're not a fan of the Terrible Towels and the Insers,
But as an outsider, I asked the question looking into
the future. Now, you can use your magic eight ball,
you can use your crystal ball, but looking into the future,
does Russell Wilson today does he have the Steelers by
(15:20):
the foot balls? If you will, So I'm gonna go first.
My answer is N plus O plus P plus e. Nope,
that's my answer. And I know for some it'll sound bonkers.
It's like, well, Russ just went out and put on
a show, lit up the Cincinnati ben Gals defense in
(15:45):
Week thirteen, and he was great despite that, And regardless
of the outcome and the stats and all that, the
Steelers will not be held hostage by Russell Wilson. And
if Russell Wilson walked out that door at the end
of the year and went somewhere else, nobody's gonna lose
any sleep in Pittsburgh because they lost Russell Wilson. And
(16:07):
if you did lose sleep, you're not a good fan.
You're not a good fan. Russell Wilson is long in
the two. Let me make my elevator pitch on this.
So he's gonna he's thirty six right now, be thirty
seven during next NFL season, mister mister unlimited, Mister mister unlimited.
Russell Wilson has been coached up by Mike Toum. Do
(16:30):
we do we agree with that that while it is successful,
there's a lot of smoke in mirrors.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
There's a lot of smoking. And that's the dirty.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Little secret that what we're seeing is not sustainable from
Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
It's it's magic. It's working, but it doesn't last.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
And once you find out how the trick is done,
it's over right, it's all over there.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And it's not like Russ.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Has gotten a better arm than he had in Denver
and all of those weak spots that he had with
the Broncos are still there. But unlike and Sean Payton
actually did hide Russ a little bit last year. Statistically,
Russ had a good year. It was a misleading season.
But to me, the problem is the same that if
(17:21):
it comes down to a playoff game at Arrowhead Stadium
Steelers and Chiefs or at in Buffalo, and you need
Russell Wilson to make plays late in the game.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I don't trust him.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Now, you can light up the Bengals who are four
and eight and knock yourself out. But Russell Wilson had
been in Siberia before he was rescued by the Pittsburgh
football team. So I just don't see a scenario where
they give him any real money. There'll be a lot
(17:58):
of funny money, a lot of fake money, and there'll
be a decent signing bonus. But he's in his late thirties.
He's still got all those week spots. All those week
spots are It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you
would like to comment on any of this, you are
more than welcome to join us. Lines are open at
eight seven seven ninety nine. That's actually one line open

Also on X at Ben Mahlor. That's a been so
yesterday we talked about how many people were freaking out
because of Chris Collinsworth and his appearance, and people were like, well,
he doesn't quite look right. Well, another day and another
(18:42):
story about fans being very concerned about an NFL broadcaster
and not not Chris Collinsworth, somebody else, somebody else.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
What is this all about. We'll get to that and
we will.

It's some believable a little too much for my taste.
But it's all about It's all about that. Actually, hey,
it is I Bill Miller pretending to be somebody else.
You gotta follow the show on x at Ben Mahler,
Coop Dal Loop a Bronco fan and Lorraine FSR Tech queen,
and you can interact with the show in real time.
(20:56):
And the thing that separates a rated program from a
podcast like podcasting usually records.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
During the day and people live normal lives.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
They don't stay up all night into the morning hours,
providing you with marginal overnight sportstock radio. But here we
are and interesting rumor bouncing around. And you know, I
never dabble in rumors. I never dabble in rumors unless
I unless I do. Yeah, I did run a gossip
(21:27):
website for several years back in the day. That was
a Different life gossip Girl.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
So there's a rumor bouncing around involving one Soto the
free agent outfield. They're late of the Mets, late of
the Yankees. Is it the you know, the second round
of bidding and all that. There was a report the
second round of bidding is underway. But get to the point, please,
So there's there's a story bouncing around that one Soto.
(21:58):
At this point, the highest offer he supposedly has is
from who do you think You think it's the Yankees?
Do you think it's the Mets? How about the Red Sox?
How about none of the above? The Toronto Blue Jays
supposedly have the biggest offer on the table if you
(22:21):
believe the gossip in baseball that the Toronto Blue Jays
have come up with the highest price point. How angry
you mentioned Steve Cohen, the guy, the hedge fun guy,
the Mets fan that bought the team.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
He liked the team so much about the team.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
If he gets out bid by the Toronto Blue Jays
for wan soda, oh my god, he might.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Just sell the team. You think the help me get
out anyway.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Let's call the phones. Let's say hello to Aeny Meenie
miney moo. Jason is in battl rouge and Jason is
up next on the Ben Mather Show.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Hello Jason, welcome? Are you there? Jay? I do not
hear Jason? Jason is gone.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Let's say hello to America's favorite drag queen caller for
Lexus in Buffalo, Hello for Lexus, Hello Ben.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Hello Rena, Justin Hello America. I am happier, and I'm
pig in the manure, and I can't wait for the
Buffalo Bills to run over the Ram man.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Oh, that's right. It's Ram Bill's week this week. That's right. Well,
the good news is the Rams. The Rams haven't.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Advantage because the Bills all have colds from doing snow
angels in the game on Sunday night, so they'll all
be sick by the time they get to La from
playing in the snow shuck.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Okay, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
What are you talking about? Tough guy over that tough
drag queen, what are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (23:49):
That's right, honey, I'm the number one drag queen. Though
it sucks for you, I'm gonna say the Bills are
going to cast.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Rate the Ram castraight, it's very good. It's ray graphic castration.
I did not recommend castration. How about beheading. I'd rather
be beheaded than castrated.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
What that's one thing I can do with my teeth.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Okay, I don't know. That's too much for me. I
thought it's here we go, Buffalo, is it?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Let's go?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
I thought it was here we go, Buffalo. Oh, let's
go Buffalo. All right, go away, thank you. Call back
later with your official prediction. I think we know what
it is. You picked the Bills every game. You'ven call
me for fifteen years, twenty years, you've called me every year.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
This is the year for the Bills.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Jason called back and buff Paul Rouge, Hello, Jason, welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Oh another Bill's mafia is out man the Bills mafia
has found our show.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
And Josh Allen is Superman.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I thought Superman was a cartoon character. I didn't really,
So he's a cartoon character.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
He's half Superman and half a real person. Because when
you can catch and throw and run a touchdown in
on the same play like he did the other night,
that's Superman.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
So what does that make Mahomes if he's Superman? What
like Mahomes Captain America? Like, where is he at?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
What's going on with him. He's got magic because at
the end of games he just change the rules and
then win.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, why don't know they change the rules? I mean
he just they make more plays there at the at
the end of the bound. But you think Josh do
you think Josh Allen, Let's let's go through the Superman.
So you think Josh Allen's faster than a speeding bullet bullet? Yeah,
do you believe that?
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Is he more powerful than a locomotive? Yes he is? Okay?
Is he able to leap tall buildings in a single mound?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Oh, we've seen that before.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
You are, man, keep your pants on. Calm down, keep
your pants on. I know you're very excited here.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Does Josh Allen believe in truth, justice and the Buffalo
Bill Way?
Speaker 3 (26:06):
That's Buffalonians, that's how they are.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, but you're in Baton Rouge though you left. You
left Buffalo though you're not in Buffalo in Boton Rouge. Man,
what's up with that?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I know you're like the number one Bills fan in
the state of Louisiana, and I believe the only one.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
But that's you know, that's a different conversation.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
So did you see that stadium?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I mean I did, I did.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Everywhere. There wasn't an empty seat in the house.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Those people well, actually that's not true. All the seats
were empty because they were covered in snow. So people
had to stand up because they couldn't sit down, So
technically every seat in the stadium was empty because they
were covered in a foot of snow and they had
to stand the entire game.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
What a great promotion for football in general. That's where
football is meant to be played.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Really, I gotta tell you that full disclosure.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
If I'm a fan and I'm gonna spend four hours outside,
I would rather be in a home or not not
even outside, I'd rather be in a climate controlled environment.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
It's a much much more enjoyable experience.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
People are from Buffalo. Oh yeah, let's play in the elements.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Let's play in the elements. Let's play in the elements.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Now, my my guys in Kansas City, who I was
tailgating with the great Bob Fesco and his crew out there,
the tailgear crew. They have told me that the snow
games are fun. But the rain that's what you don't
want to be in the rain, and like the wind
and the cold, that's where it gets really nasty. But
the snow itself not a problem.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Okay, Yeah, so I remember the snow games. When I
was a kid, we used to play in the snow.
We had the best football game.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
And let me tell you something, you might think I'm
a softie because I'm in LA. But I've had snowball fights.
I got a big snowball my brother was in New York.
I got a big snowball fight in Manhattan. Was awesome.
There was snow piled up on all the cars and
the mailboxes and whatnot. Man, we were we were having
an epic snowball fight. All Right, I gotta go call
me more often, Jason. You're You're like the ahead of
the Bills propaganda wing.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
So I always have wanted to, Like I've always said,
like God, I would love to go to a game
like snow Yeah. But then I was watching that Bills
game and I thought it sounds pretty cool. But after
like a quarter you'll probably just be miserable.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I have been to baseball games in the snow, and
it's not a good experience. It's wait what Yeah, Well,
I was at the World Series. There was snowed that
the World Series. I covered that World Series in Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It snowed.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeh, not really. I got so sick after that and
then I was at well, I guess it didn't sa.
I was at a White Sox Cubs game in Chicago.
Was early in the season.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
It was like like a.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Freezing type rain situation, and I was with my wife,
so we made it to the third inning and then
we left. If I had been there without her, I
probably would have stayed the entire game, but she was
uncomfortable and had requested we depart the stadium, so we
we did leave the stadium in a timely manner.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
This is baseball, it's cheap.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Well yeah, well Jonas, you know, Jonas is a mad
man in Chicago, or morning guy Jonas. So he hooked
us up, so it wasn't too bad. But yeah, the NFL.
Let's go to angry Bill. Who's next and see what
he's angry about?
Speaker 9 (29:17):
Here?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I bet you're angry Bill. He probably loves that golden
bat rule, right, that golden bat things all about, Hello
angry Bill. That's the new fugazy rule baseball is talking about.
Hello angry Bill.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
No, I don't like that one, Ben, I'm sorry. It
says they push the envelope little too far. They've done
some good things. I want to see the umpires change
to the mechanical umpires because the game has just gotten
too fast for them. But the thing I got to
really tell you, that's when When you guys play the
Christmas and the holiday music, I tear up.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
You are so full of it.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Yeah, I gotta take I gotta take my glasses off,
and I gotta wipe my eyes, and I just I
really love that music, especially I don't know what just
on your show. When you play that music and I'm
waking up and having my cup of coffee, it's just
I start tearing up on it. So play as much
as you can, as nice as you can. You've played
some new songs that I never heard of. Sensitive Bill, Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Oh man, How lucky are we that he found our show?
And every other caller we on the payroll they quit
the show. Like you think about Mark the full name
guy couldn't handle the stress of calling the show. He
quit the show. He gave up on the show you
think of Sir scratch Off. He's semi retired now as
it called. Lance the bus Driver quit the show. So

May the Force be with you, May the.
Speaker 3 (32:09):

Speaker 10 (32:09):
So I have also a holiday song. I this will
definitely make angry Bill cry for better or worse. It's
loosely based on the I'll do one verse of God
Russey Mary, gentlemen, and as we titled, God save us
from the silly show, God.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Save us from Mike the Leprechaun. Well that's a shot.

riddle of the day. How the guys, I mean, that's
pretty clever trying to get in the stadium.

Oh yeah, we talked about the riddle of the day
of that. Texas A and M A couple of college kids.
I assume they're college in students there. They tried, they
tried to.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah, they got to be right. They pretended to be
construction working. They got caught.
Speaker 9 (34:46):
I just had a little idea, maybe a premonitions for
them by what if like part of their sentence was
to do community service at the stadium itself, I mean
out fitting, right, that'd be good.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Did you see a guy showed up on a long
horn at Texas A and M like walked into town
on a actual like long one, yeah, and apparently not allowed. Yeah,
they're massive, those things, and the police said you gotta leave.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
So he rode out. He rode in on the long horn,
and he rode out on the longhorn and quickly did
a U turny.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yeah, well everything's bigger in Texas definitely. Yeah, that's why
I read that somewhere.

Look at you. You're in a good mood.
Speaker 9 (35:29):
