Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. It's our number four, our number four,
on this Tuesday, the second day of September. And here
in our number four, Tom Brady doing a sit down
chit chat with Chris Collinsworth, Brady saying there is nobody
to blame. There was no animosity on leaving the Patriots,
(00:21):
even though he had made the decision a year prior.
How do you read this one? Also, what is your
frame of mind on Matthew Stafford is playing staff and
the Rams say is good to go for the season
opener on Sunday against Houston. Will take a look at Stafford.
Also see this quarterback Aaron Rodgers went viral for looking
extremely slow during drills at a recent practice. Is that
(00:44):
fair or unfair? We'll go there as well. Have a
wonderful Tuesday, the day after the big holiday, and thank
you for listening to this podcast. It does mean a lot.
Here it is our number four. It is a bunch
of Brady Welcome. In the beginning of another hour of
(01:09):
the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air every
where as we chirp away and we are bouncing and
bouncing coast the coast, border to border and beyond on
the mast and unmistakably powerful microphones of FSR AM naiding
(01:31):
live from the float as we are floating in the
atmosphere from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by Joe the Ghost Hunter. For over forty years,
this portion of the show made possible by tire Rack.
For over forty years, Tireraq has been helping customers like
(01:53):
Jonathan and Delaware and Kathy in Madison find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive. Now, the
real estate mogul in Baltimore signs off on this ship
fast and free back by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tireinstallation tire iraq dot com.
(02:13):
The way tire buying should be Natron, who drove like
seventy hours to get to the Big Malor Meet and
Greet in Vegas. He also approves the tire Rack, So
our lead this hour is from Patriot Gone Past, the
Patriots in the Past Now. Last night, in a college
football game made for television, North Carolina with Bill Belichick
(02:37):
came out and they scored on their opening drive and
looked like no one was playing defense for TCU and
then gave up forty one unanswered points in one stretch
in an epic blowout the debut of Chapel Bill, which
will not last long If North Carolina plays like that,
Holy crap, did they suck? Now? Brady Tom Brady has
(02:59):
entered the chat. Brady making some headlines of his own here.
And he's been gone from the Patriots since the pandemic
year of twenty twenty took off and said see you
dope some out of here. So it's been over five years,
and then Brady's been retired for over a year, and
that story of his departure still has legs, still has legs.
(03:22):
And if you've not heard the latest on this, perhaps not.
But Tom Brady feeding the content machine over the holiday weekend,
Brady said he was never ever returning to the Patriots.
The decision was actually made prior to the twenty nineteen season.
He went into that year knowing it was Asta la
(03:44):
Vista of Riba that jay to the Patriots that he
was not going to sign another contract with the Patriots.
It was simply not a feasible option for Tom Brady
and he did not mol things over during the off season.
He said, quote, I had no choice. Oh, he said, no.
(04:06):
Check that let me redo the quote he said, quote
I had a choice. There we go. I had a choice,
Brady said, to be a free agent. And when I
had that last season, meaning twenty nineteen into twenty twenty,
I put my house up for sale in September, Brady
told Chris Collinsworth. Yes that Chris Collinsworth from NBC, I
(04:26):
knew that was my last year. Brady went on to say,
I literally put my house for sale, and I knew
that there were a lot of conversations I had over
the previous couple of years that I knew it was
time for me to continue my football journey somewhere else now.
Brady went on to say later on in this long,
(04:48):
never ending podcast, Brady said, and there was nobody to blame.
Oh boy, this is where it goes off the tracks.
He said, there was no one to blame. There was
no animosity. In fact, it was very emotional leaving because
it kind of was like telling your dad, I'm going
away to college somewhere else. I'm leaving to go to
(05:10):
a different journey, or go on a different journey. It
was just the right moment for me. Close quote comments
from Tom Brady to Chris Collinsworth who's got a podcast,
Because everyone loves audio content. Everyone wants to audio content,
whether it's radio or podcasting, it's audio content. So let
us discuss the question. Tom Brady's saying, there is nobody
(05:33):
to blame, nobody to blame. There was no animosity on
leaving the Patriots. How do you read this one? So
I've got Whole Foods, MGM, GRAND and CBS, and we
will combine all of these things together and for atillo,
we're gonna make the gobbagool. We're gonna make the gobbagol.
(05:54):
Now to lead off here, all right, this is a
p R polished, p ARE polished version from Tom Brady
for public consumption. This is the story Tom Brady wants
you to tell and to repeat to your friends. The
it's not you, it's not you, it's me routine. That
(06:14):
is Tom Brady's hand crafted version of the breakup text
wrapped in avocado toast and those TV twelve electrolytes which
you have to have. You gotta have those. It is
the classic Listen, I am not mad, I'm not I'm
just evolving. I'm just evolving. I'm at a different level
(06:35):
than you are. Yeah, all that nonsense, now, Tom Brady
did not ghost the people of Foxborough. He just slow
faded him, right, like those HBO dramas back when everyone
was watching those back in the day. One episode at
a time, that's it. And no fireworks, no, no big
(06:57):
fireworks situation. Just a little wistful piano music and listing
on Zillo. That's that's how you exit now. And Brady's
exit was not a clean break. It was not right.
It was a TB twelve cleanse. I'm not sure if
they sell that or not. They should. It was slow,
it was calculated and designed to flush out any trace
(07:20):
of Bill Belichick. That's what this is about. Right. When
Brady says there's no animosity, there's no one to blame,
Benny's bull crap meter goes through the roof. Benny's bullcrap
meter goes right through the roof. That's like saying the
Hindenburg politely decline further altitude. I don't want to go
(07:40):
any higher. I'm just gonna quietly explode, is what I'm
going to do. Tom Brady did not just leave the Patriots.
He graduated from them. That's his story, right. And you
know Foxborough was like high school, and you know high school, sweetheart.
Foxborough was for Tom Brady, and I guess you could
say that Tampa Bay was like the hot yoga instructor
(08:03):
that you met at Whole Foods. Wink wink. Yeah. So
the legend is that Bill Belichick wanted Jimmy Garoppolo. That's
the legend, right, And this is before Brady obviously was
even winding things down. Garoppolo had been the backup there.
I was, actually, this is so many years ago. I
was doing fill in at the other station in Boston
(08:25):
the night that Garoppolo was given away to the forty
nine ers, and leading up to that, to talk had
been that Garoppolo was worth multiple first round picks and
no way the Patriots are going to trade Garoppolo. And
I still remember to this day the conspiracy theory about
the Garppolo trade. I don't know if you remember this or not,
but Tom Brady had gotten winned that Belichick wanted Garoppolo
(08:50):
to replace Brady the following season, and Brady usurped Belichick
the usual chain of command. He went right to Robert Kraft,
and Robert Kraft mandated the Patriots get rid of Garoppolo.
So they gave Garoppolo away for a half eaten tuna
fish sandwich that had been laying out in the sun
(09:11):
for a couple of days. That's what they got in
returned from the forty in and then Tom ended up
leaving anyway. So then the Patriots were totally pants and
they had to put the rotting carcass of Cam Newton
out there. And so the man sold his house. Brady
did in September put his house on the market, sold
it before the NFL season. If I remember correctly, that
(09:33):
is not a subtle hint. That is not well, maybe
I'm gonna move or not. That is a billboard on
root one reading dear Bill, I'm out love Tom, see
a Losers, I'm out of here. It's like a Bonzei
tree escaping its pot, is what it is now. Furthermore
to La we go, La La land, and that is
(09:56):
where the news out. The rams, the La rams. You
can ram it all day. You got a ram it
all night, so rams. Quarterback Matthew Stafford, who missed extended time,
extended time with oh my aching back. He had I'm
gonna say it's very carefully and slowly an aggravated disc
dsk in his back and he is expected to start
(10:19):
the Rams open up with the Houston Texans this Sunday
in La La Land. So what is your frame of
mind on Matthew Stafford's playing status for the Rams? So
keeping it real, right, keeping it real. This thing is
a ticking time bomb that continues to be my position
(10:44):
Matthew Stafford's back is like, it's like going to a
thrift store and buying a beach chair. At the thrift store,
you're getting it at a discount price. Okay, you're getting
it at a discount price, and you can sit on
that beach chair for a while, But eventually that thing's
(11:05):
gonna snap. Whether you're three hundred pounds or one hundred
and ten pounds, that thing's gonna fall apart. Sean McVay,
he knows he's playing with house money for now, right,
he's playing with house money for now, and he's essentially
on credit. He's on credit, and the repo man is
circling the block looking for the Stafford car. And so
(11:27):
McVeigh I totally get the mindset. You treat Matthew Stafford
like it's an all you can eat buffet. You gotta
go fast, you gotta go quick. As much food on
the plate. There's a two hour time limit. The two
hour time limit at these buffets now often so you
gotta pile up the food. In this case, you pile
up the snaps with Matthew Stafford, hoping that the plate
(11:47):
does not collapse before you get to dessert, your stomach
doesn't fill up. However, I believe we have seen this
movie before. I've been to the movies. I've seen this
movie before. It's not a matter of if, matter of if.
It's a matter of when the back flares up, like
a California wildfire, which we have fire season in Californy.
(12:07):
This is a week to week, half to half quarter
to quarter play to play situation for Matthew Stafford. And
every time Stafford drops back with the Rams, starting this
Sunday against Houston, assuming he makes it through pregame warm
ups with it out his back flaring up, assuming he
actually gets on the field, every time Stafford drops back,
(12:29):
you're rolling the dice like you're at the MGM Grand
Craps table and you're praying it's not snake eyes. You're like,
no snake guys, no snake eyes, no snake eyes. The
Rams are trying to squeeze every last morsel, every last
ounce of juice from the orange before pivoting the plan
be Now, what is Plan B, which is either Jimmy
(12:52):
Garoppolo who loves a good porn star who doesn't, and
the human band aid Jimmy Garoppolo, the aforementioned as the
goes haunting Tom Brady with the Patriots, or Stetson Bennet
who looks like he wandered onto the field right out
of a frat party. Stets In Bennett and for some
(13:12):
reason he has been hanging around for several years. He
was really good at Georgia Georgia many years ago. So yeah,
Stafford's gonna start Week one. We pop the champagne. Very
exciting here now, regardless, the Rams are standing on a
powder keg and the fuses are now. I'm convinced the
Rams will be fine. When Stafford does andevitably get hurt.
(13:33):
They'll still be fine in the regular season. The issue
becomes postseason play. They're in a division where the other
quarterbacks in their division are alligator Arms, Murray, overrated brock
Purty who now got paid, the forty nine ers are
about to get played, and Seattle that is trying to
put Sam Darnold out there as a good quarterback. That's
(13:56):
a terrible division for quarterbacks. So Stafford's head and shoulders above.
There's other stiffs in the division. The problem is gonna
get hurt. So the Rams will still be okay because
they've got a defense that, as they say in Poker's
on the come. So there they're getting better defensively. And
so though I'll enjoy my positions, I'll enjoy as a
Ram apologist, I'll enjoy Matthew Stafford playing while we have
him out there. The Rams, I don't work for the team.
(14:19):
And then it's kind of like binge watching. It's like
binge watching your favorite show before it goes off the
streaming service that you're whatever it is, and the ending
is already written. We know how it ends. It's just
a matter is it happened week one? Is it week seven?
The worst case scenario would be like week twelve or thirteen,
pass the trade deadline. You can't get any help and
(14:41):
you're stuck. That's the problem right now. Last thing to Pittsburg, PA,
the Land of the Insers, where Sean the hood guys.
Pittsburgh Steelers have a game on. It's game week in
Pittsburgh and the stories do not end about air and right,
that's right. Aaron Rodgers, now seniors quarterback. Aaron Rodgers went
(15:04):
viral yet again. What did he do? Did he pop
up on the Joe Rogan podcast again? Did he say
something wacky?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Eh?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
No, Aaron Rodgers went viral for looking extremely slow. That
was during drills and practice. There was a clip making
the rounds here is that fair or unfair? Fair or unfair?
So this is likely a bad take. I'm supposed to
(15:33):
embrace the outrage machine, but I would say cool your
jets for cool your former jets in this case here,
I would say unfair. Now, we recommend going to CBS,
going down to CBS and getting some doctor trusted treatment
for your premature shot in freude. And there's a lot
of this with Aaron Rodgers, and then you know the
(15:56):
matrix is out of control. You're acting like Aaron Rodgers
just for a role with a Walking Dead and he
was wearing a Steelers helmet and all that stuff. The
clip is twenty two seconds. It's a twenty two second clip.
It shows just a light workout and Rogers kind of
jogging around. Is he a fossil because of this, eh,
(16:19):
you know he was plotting. I'm not gonna sit here
and pretend like that was a quick situation. We've seen
grandmothers at the mall power walk faster than that. However,
last I checked, nobody in that clip none of the
teammates of Aaron Rodgers were going pedal or metal to
the pedal and all that. They were not practicing full
(16:41):
pedal down. They were not going full speed, is what
I'm trying to say. And Rogers is in his early forties.
He's not last I checked. He's not twenty four unless
he's found some way to go back in time. And
maybe he has. Maybe one of his buddies took him
to see Ponstevione in Florida and they had some gaba
ghoul and they're good to go. He's not last I checked.
(17:02):
Maybe I'm wrong on this. I just in the Overnight show.
I don't think Aaron Rodgers is supposed to be the
speed racer. He's supposed to be the guy launching missiles
from the pocket while defenders are still kind of trying
to tie their shoes together and all that stuff. And
you don't sign Aaron Rodgers expecting him at this age
to run around like he's Lamar Jackson, prancing through defenses.
(17:24):
You don't you sign him to drop dimes like he's
tree the up our buddy for ups there with the flamethrower.
That's what you're doing here. And his job is to
read defenses, to not run wind sprints and all that stuff.
And so I will take the position of letting the
good times roll, let the tape roll. We'll be watching
(17:46):
week one, and I promise you I will be the
first one to come in here with forrest hammer and
knock down Aaron Rodgers if he goes out there and
rides the vomit comet against the Jets and the Steelers opener, No, we'
out there throwing ducks. We will roast him like a
marshmallow at a campsite. All right. We'll make some s'mores
(18:08):
out of Aaron Rodgers. Until then, though, we'll we'll let
him stretch out his achilles and sip his ayahuasca in piece.

All.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Right, back to it we go. And we began here
with the latest rant, the latest stylings of Tom Brady,
a lot of commentary. I've got more reaction on Blue
than anything I've said in the monologue. So I should
just talk about Blue, who I've learned from the malum
list we talked about earlier because Carolina Panther wide receiver
hunter Renfro missed a bunch of calls because his daughter
(21:12):
was watching Blue on the phone. Alf the Allen says
Bluey is an ausy contribution to the Disney family. Is
what he says. Ferg Dog says Blue is a great show. Ben,
I watch it by myself all the time. Is that
allowed I have no knowledge of anything. Is that like
going to.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Check You're not gonna lie to you, Ben. I know
a lot of adults who actually enjoy watching Bluey.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Are they the ones that go to the Furry Convention
in Pittsburgh every year? They're like parents, They're like, oh yeah,
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
My child doesn't even have to be awake, and I'll
put on bluey Okay, isn't that weird?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Seems to watch My Little Pony? Right, so one of
those weird leg.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Okay, Jeremy says. Blue is an Australian public broadcasting cartoon
that has been globally syndicated by Disney Gorn Jeremy, so
there you go. Also, we had some conversations about the
Cinnamon role and Corey says, listen, everything is He parroted
my line. Everything from a donut shop is a donut
end of story. That's right. There you go. And when
(22:12):
when the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend.
That's the reality of the Cinnamon role. That's it. There
you go. Uh, Alf, you're going to be out of
the ring of honor if you disagree. Alf. I'm just saying,
let's go to the phones right now. And in absent,
we were very worried about this guy. We were in Vegas,
we did the Mallard meet and greet and we were
hoping he would show up. He was the life of
(22:33):
the party last year. Nowhere to be seen. We welcome
in the legendary mouth washed Mike from Vegas.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Yeah, you know, I was in the hospital. You know,
I didn't know where you were gonna be.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Well, we were at the same We were at the
same Mike, you were blackout drunk. We were at the
same place we were last year you showed up at.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
The steak out.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah, we were the stake out boring girls.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Oh no, when was it?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
How do you know you were in the hospital If
you don't.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Know what it was, well, I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Also, why were you blackout drunk in the hospital?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Why are they letting you drink in there?
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Sometimes they drink in the hospital and not all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
But do they have a good bar? Do they have
a good bar at the hospital?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
You know, if you bring your on.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
They don't check you for alcohol, Like the nurses don't
check to see what you got you just like I
got my I got my wallet, I got my watch,
I got my flask of alcohol.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
No, no, no, they don't even check you for that.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
They do. They call you mouthwash Mike. Do they know
your nickname? That your mouthwash?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Now?
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Because they just.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Because he's usually unresponsive and they just have to look
at his ID just to resuscitate him.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
The doctor recently told me. I was at Sunrise Hospital
and he told me, you know what, if you're going
to keep drinking, don't stop because it could kill you.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I'm a doctor, So a doctor told you to keep drinking.
This sounds, ir? Does this not sound eerily similar to
beer drinking? Brian from back in the day. I feel
like we're going down the same road here.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
I don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I understand you probably did, but you're so drunk you
don't remember. But he used to call the show back.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
In the day, and I'm calling you from an international airport.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Oh, you're at the airport. Are you leaving town? You're
going back home?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
I mean, you know, home homes were the.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
What do you what do you what do you consider
your home? Mouthwash, Mike, what do you consider your home?
Where you grew up?
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Where I grew up, it was like the Lemon side
of the state of Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Okay, So you don't want to go back to Minnesota.
It's okay, no, coach, No, why would you living in Vain.
When's the last time you swam in the fountains of
the Bolagio?

Gonna do it.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
You get did you do it without me?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yes? And Me and Coop and Loraina all decided to
swim laps and yeah we did. How much fun was that?
I got my birthday suit? I jumped right in the
fountain of the Belagio. Was I won the race though? Yeah,
Coop one and I got to sing to the song
that they played the whole time, which was the Michael
Jackson song. It was funny because Loraina actually thought she
was a mermaid. Yeah, for some reason, I don't know why. Yeah, listen,
(26:00):
we're very worried about you. Shut up. We're worried about you.
For we hope you're you do better. We're concerned about you.
We plan on going back to Vegas next August, so
try to stay alive and try to stay out of
the hospital.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Okay, I gues, I don't know if I'm gonna be
here next August. Can come out and.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
See, well if you can, if you can get to LA,
We're going to have a meet and greet and.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Come on, you know I can get to La. I'll
have to do just call my mom and say, oh my,

went in doubt, call mom, That's what I say, went
into out. Call you know how old are you? By

Speaker 6 (26:45):
Mike?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
You don't even know? Eight years forty eight not too
old for his mama. Still call him mom, your mama's boy.
I respect that I pestered my mom right up until
she left this mortal coil. I bothered her. Yes, all right, well, yes, what.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
Where do I come? Busy guys at where's your studio?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You want to come to the studio? All right, I'll
put you on We'll put you on hold the coop.
You take care of that however you want. And I
feel like if he shows up, he's not going to leave.
I feel like he shows up, he's going to be here.
Why don't we.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Down this kind of path off and it's not gone? Well?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, when we let the drunks in here, it doesn't
usually end up very well. They end up passed out,
barfing in the corner. It's a problem. Why don't we
schedule malor meet and greet just for him? I will
do one.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
We have people in LA that want us to do
these things. We can do one and no. Sure I
like the idea. That way, he doesn't have to come
here right neutral ground, will meet him somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
That'd be cool if we don't. We don't serve alcohol here.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
So no, but most of the places we go do
serve alcohol. So and they'll love you. Although he doesn't bite.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
It into the hospital. We could do it in his
hospital room.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
We could. We could go around the bed and uh,
you know, take shots. All right, Well, mouthwash, Mike. I'm
sure Coop will pick up here in a second. Entertaining you.
Let's go to blind Scott who told me. Blind Scott said, Ben,
I'm going to take the month of September off. It's
a football heavy show. A lot of hard oh football
fans call the show. It's not for me. I do stick.
(28:18):
I'm not going to call the show. So let's say
a little blind Scott.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Hello, Blind Scott, Hey, yay Turck yesterday. Oh Man, Yeah,
I'm glad you made that stop with that guy, Mike.
Man that he's talking about the delirium tremors. So if
he stops drinking he gets to the DTS. I got
those when I went to that guy school that got
kicked out of like twelve years ago. Dude, but that
guy sounds so obnoxious, Like you don't realize once you
(28:43):
see that guy in your own personal life that he's
going to completely ruin your life. You know what I'm saying,
Like everything with that guy is wrong, Like he needs
God to come in and reach like crab.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Are you saying mouthwash? Mike needs God?
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Yeah, he's like a look at guy like happy, but
he needs God to reach inside and his soul and
say you're ruining your life and mouth and watch my
hear the thing on the street. One of those people
get in my face all the time. They're wicked friendly,
but it's the way it's feeling in the world. Don't
grab onto you though. Some guy almost hit me with
his car over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Dude, how do you know that?
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Well, here's what happened. There's a factful going with a
luxury vehicle. It almost hit me. He goes get out
of the road. I was displaced. The sidewalks were closed,
so his wife actually got out. It was like a
huge age gap different. So I said, do you know
Fred Toucher because he's the expert in age gap Because
of the Bill Belichick convo with Jordan Hut.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I didn't know he was an expert. Now, I had
no idea.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, yes, she.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Made this groaning noise when I said, you know Fred Toucher,
she goes.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I thought it was I thought, well, that's what most
women probably do when they hear that name.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
They started, Yeah, yeah, this Bill, this Bill Belichick story. Man,
this is a public kink. Dude, it's a public humiliation thing.
Like who would ruin their career like this in front
of Michael Jordan to watch?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You know what I'm saying, Like Jordan doesn't care. He
probably left at halftime. You think he gives a crap?
Come on. He was asked to be there because it's
a big day for the university, so he showed up.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
AM's the first swords of the show. So did you
see Blake Snell was there?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
His name was he is? He was? I think that
was bog I don't think he was there. I didn't
see him on the broadcast. And somebody said, look, yeah,
it makes no sense.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Yeah, it makes no sense to I didn't see the
connection at all. I think it was a typo. I
think it was the other one. Blake Griffin. Actually, I
actually it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Doesn't make sense either. He went to Oklahoma.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Blake Griffin retired. He's retired, dude. One other thing that
doesn't make sense is that go Bu Cannon guy. He's
on every radio station.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Canon gobiu Canan is a different man.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
There are myths by so.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
I always call the station after and go, this is
this guy, Oh, thank you, And then he calls the
next hour. You know what I mean, it's it's And
then he talks about Howie Carr too. Howie Carr got
kicked out of Boston. He's an internet radio show. He
lives in Florida. Now, Howie the North End? It's not
like car. Have you read those books how We Carr
wrote about the North End? Man do.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Some stuff with Whitey Boulger. Back in the day. Howie
Carr wasn't he involved in hated No, That's what I'm saying.
He like took you, like trashed him in the paper.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
He went into jail. Howie Carr, in every stitch in
the business, helped how We Carr write these terrible books
about the North End.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
That's why I don't know about all that. I don't know.
I gotta go. I thank you. Let's say a little
hollering James, who's in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hello, hollering James, Hey, Ben,
what's wrong? What are you upset about? There's nothing to
be upset about. You should be happy.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
I'm happy, but I'm upset because Cool wouldn't let me
play Mountain Malers not in the money, and I think
I'm gonna do better.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Your partner, you.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Know, at this time you might actually be right about that.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Well, the fact that the fact that Aiden wrote the
vomit comet, this guy Aiden from Boston, Boston area called
up and got so freaked out by athletes born on
May first. He forgot all the clues and was just
hyper focused on May first. He did not know who
ched Holmgren, Curtis Martin, Wes Welker. I think after that
(32:16):
we kind of just kid.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Do you still you still have the board?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah? Have the board.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Let's let's let's see real quick.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Okay, that's a good idea. James could have got anything, James,
you want to play the game, James, All right, Jam
let's play the game real quick. Shut up, Let's play
the game.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
All right.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Here we go, James uh White Center for Oklahoma City
looks like skeletor.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Good. I'll set Let's see Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
That would be.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Okay. Oh for one, how about this a running back
for the Patriots and the Jets. He's a Hall of
Famer with a generic name. Played in the nineties, in
the early two thousands.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Let's see here.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yes, that's right, that's right. White wide receiver for the Patriots,
slot receiver for the Patriots in their glory days before
Julian Edelman. That's right, you're very white. Yes, let's see
what else do we have. Let's skip ahead. How about
African American pitcher was just released by the Yankees a
(33:24):
couple of weeks ago. Kind of an angry guy pitch
for the Cubs in the Blue Jays, sat out here
in COVID, sat out the year. That's right, amazing, you
would have done better. All right, we have the game.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
You would have done great, Jams.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I'm very impressive.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Sorry I did not let you play.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, all right, thank you. Dick and Dayton, real quick, Hello, Dick,
good morning, the great Dick and Daton. There, give me
a little taste of that. You're more of a Browns
fan than a Bengals fan. How many wins for the
Browns this year, Dixter, I.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Say, I talked to Jeff and Titus. I'd say eight
games this year.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You think they're gonna win eight games? You are the
most optimistic man in the entire state of Ohio. Even
the Browns front office doesn't think they're gonna win eight games.
That's impressive.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, well, thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, you're mister positivity there, Dixter. Any any music, any music,
gigs or anything? What do you got going on? Any music?
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
I've been playing the string Benders a lot. But oh good, good,
right down here, I told you activities Trey and Heather.
Get me to play a little bit, you know during the.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Like I like Trey Moore. It is it hoot nanny?
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yeah, it's sort of a hoot nanny. Yeah, I enjoy it.
It's nice. It's really nice.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, of course. Well you're a very talented musician. And
will you be calling the Browns postgame show after every game?
Speaker 5 (34:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
What about the Bengals? Do you call the Bengals too?
Or no?
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Yeah? I call yeah, I us tried to get to
one of my favorites down there, a legend.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Oh a great chick Ludwick. Of course.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yeah, but sometimes it's on the on the Bengals, they
go to b W three's here around the area.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, and uh, I gotcha.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
They take the calls from there, and I think it's
about well, if the Browns played early, it's about four four,
about four point thirty, they take calls.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I gotcha. You know the exact time. Because you're an
expert at the Browns postgame show. I got to leave
it there. The Great Dick and Dayton, no legend, legend.

Jayden Daniels, Jaydon Daniels,
Here we go. It's our number four, our number four,
on this Tuesday, the second day of September. And here
in our number four, Tom Brady doing a sit down
chit chat with Chris Collinsworth, Brady saying there is nobody
to blame. There was no animosity on leaving the Patriots,
(00:21):
even though he had made the decision a year prior.
How do you read this one? Also, what is your
frame of mind on Matthew Stafford is playing staff and
the Rams say is good to go for the season
opener on Sunday against Houston. Will take a look at Stafford.
Also see this quarterback Aaron Rodgers went viral for looking
extremely slow during drills at a recent practice. Is that
(00:44):
fair or unfair? We'll go there as well. Have a
wonderful Tuesday, the day after the big holiday, and thank
you for listening to this podcast. It does mean a lot.
Here it is our number four. It is a bunch
of Brady Welcome. In the beginning of another hour of
(01:09):
the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air every
where as we chirp away and we are bouncing and
bouncing coast the coast, border to border and beyond on
the mast and unmistakably powerful microphones of FSR AM naiding
(01:31):
live from the float as we are floating in the
atmosphere from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by Joe the Ghost Hunter. For over forty years,
this portion of the show made possible by tire Rack.
For over forty years, Tireraq has been helping customers like
(01:53):
Jonathan and Delaware and Kathy in Madison find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive. Now, the
real estate mogul in Baltimore signs off on this ship
fast and free back by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tireinstallation tire iraq dot com.
(02:13):
The way tire buying should be Natron, who drove like
seventy hours to get to the Big Malor Meet and
Greet in Vegas. He also approves the tire Rack, So
our lead this hour is from Patriot Gone Past, the
Patriots in the Past Now. Last night, in a college
football game made for television, North Carolina with Bill Belichick
(02:37):
came out and they scored on their opening drive and
looked like no one was playing defense for TCU and
then gave up forty one unanswered points in one stretch
in an epic blowout the debut of Chapel Bill, which
will not last long If North Carolina plays like that,
Holy crap, did they suck? Now? Brady Tom Brady has
(02:59):
entered the chat. Brady making some headlines of his own here.
And he's been gone from the Patriots since the pandemic
year of twenty twenty took off and said see you
dope some out of here. So it's been over five years,
and then Brady's been retired for over a year, and
that story of his departure still has legs, still has legs.
(03:22):
And if you've not heard the latest on this, perhaps not.
But Tom Brady feeding the content machine over the holiday weekend,
Brady said he was never ever returning to the Patriots.
The decision was actually made prior to the twenty nineteen season.
He went into that year knowing it was Asta la
(03:44):
Vista of Riba that jay to the Patriots that he
was not going to sign another contract with the Patriots.
It was simply not a feasible option for Tom Brady
and he did not mol things over during the off season.
He said, quote, I had no choice. Oh, he said, no.
(04:06):
Check that let me redo the quote he said, quote
I had a choice. There we go. I had a choice,
Brady said, to be a free agent. And when I
had that last season, meaning twenty nineteen into twenty twenty,
I put my house up for sale in September, Brady
told Chris Collinsworth. Yes that Chris Collinsworth from NBC, I
(04:26):
knew that was my last year. Brady went on to say,
I literally put my house for sale, and I knew
that there were a lot of conversations I had over
the previous couple of years that I knew it was
time for me to continue my football journey somewhere else now.
Brady went on to say later on in this long,
(04:48):
never ending podcast, Brady said, and there was nobody to blame.
Oh boy, this is where it goes off the tracks.
He said, there was no one to blame. There was
no animosity. In fact, it was very emotional leaving because
it kind of was like telling your dad, I'm going
away to college somewhere else. I'm leaving to go to
(05:10):
a different journey, or go on a different journey. It
was just the right moment for me. Close quote comments
from Tom Brady to Chris Collinsworth who's got a podcast,
Because everyone loves audio content. Everyone wants to audio content,
whether it's radio or podcasting, it's audio content. So let
us discuss the question. Tom Brady's saying, there is nobody
(05:33):
to blame, nobody to blame. There was no animosity on
leaving the Patriots. How do you read this one? So
I've got Whole Foods, MGM, GRAND and CBS, and we
will combine all of these things together and for atillo,
we're gonna make the gobbagool. We're gonna make the gobbagol.
(05:54):
Now to lead off here, all right, this is a
p R polished, p ARE polished version from Tom Brady
for public consumption. This is the story Tom Brady wants
you to tell and to repeat to your friends. The
it's not you, it's not you, it's me routine. That
(06:14):
is Tom Brady's hand crafted version of the breakup text
wrapped in avocado toast and those TV twelve electrolytes which
you have to have. You gotta have those. It is
the classic Listen, I am not mad, I'm not I'm
just evolving. I'm just evolving. I'm at a different level
(06:35):
than you are. Yeah, all that nonsense, now, Tom Brady
did not ghost the people of Foxborough. He just slow
faded him, right, like those HBO dramas back when everyone
was watching those back in the day. One episode at
a time, that's it. And no fireworks, no, no big
(06:57):
fireworks situation. Just a little wistful piano music and listing
on Zillo. That's that's how you exit now. And Brady's
exit was not a clean break. It was not right.
It was a TB twelve cleanse. I'm not sure if
they sell that or not. They should. It was slow,
it was calculated and designed to flush out any trace
(07:20):
of Bill Belichick. That's what this is about. Right. When
Brady says there's no animosity, there's no one to blame,
Benny's bull crap meter goes through the roof. Benny's bullcrap
meter goes right through the roof. That's like saying the
Hindenburg politely decline further altitude. I don't want to go
(07:40):
any higher. I'm just gonna quietly explode, is what I'm
going to do. Tom Brady did not just leave the Patriots.
He graduated from them. That's his story, right. And you
know Foxborough was like high school, and you know high school, sweetheart.
Foxborough was for Tom Brady, and I guess you could
say that Tampa Bay was like the hot yoga instructor
(08:03):
that you met at Whole Foods. Wink wink. Yeah. So
the legend is that Bill Belichick wanted Jimmy Garoppolo. That's
the legend, right, And this is before Brady obviously was
even winding things down. Garoppolo had been the backup there.
I was, actually, this is so many years ago. I
was doing fill in at the other station in Boston
(08:25):
the night that Garoppolo was given away to the forty
nine ers, and leading up to that, to talk had
been that Garoppolo was worth multiple first round picks and
no way the Patriots are going to trade Garoppolo. And
I still remember to this day the conspiracy theory about
the Garppolo trade. I don't know if you remember this or not,
but Tom Brady had gotten winned that Belichick wanted Garoppolo
(08:50):
to replace Brady the following season, and Brady usurped Belichick
the usual chain of command. He went right to Robert Kraft,
and Robert Kraft mandated the Patriots get rid of Garoppolo.
So they gave Garoppolo away for a half eaten tuna
fish sandwich that had been laying out in the sun
(09:11):
for a couple of days. That's what they got in
returned from the forty in and then Tom ended up
leaving anyway. So then the Patriots were totally pants and
they had to put the rotting carcass of Cam Newton
out there. And so the man sold his house. Brady
did in September put his house on the market, sold
it before the NFL season. If I remember correctly, that
(09:33):
is not a subtle hint. That is not well, maybe
I'm gonna move or not. That is a billboard on
root one reading dear Bill, I'm out love Tom, see
a Losers, I'm out of here. It's like a Bonzei
tree escaping its pot, is what it is now. Furthermore
to La we go, La La land, and that is
(09:56):
where the news out. The rams, the La rams. You
can ram it all day. You got a ram it
all night, so rams. Quarterback Matthew Stafford, who missed extended time,
extended time with oh my aching back. He had I'm
gonna say it's very carefully and slowly an aggravated disc
dsk in his back and he is expected to start
(10:19):
the Rams open up with the Houston Texans this Sunday
in La La Land. So what is your frame of
mind on Matthew Stafford's playing status for the Rams? So
keeping it real, right, keeping it real. This thing is
a ticking time bomb that continues to be my position
(10:44):
Matthew Stafford's back is like, it's like going to a
thrift store and buying a beach chair. At the thrift store,
you're getting it at a discount price. Okay, you're getting
it at a discount price, and you can sit on
that beach chair for a while, But eventually that thing's
(11:05):
gonna snap. Whether you're three hundred pounds or one hundred
and ten pounds, that thing's gonna fall apart. Sean McVay,
he knows he's playing with house money for now, right,
he's playing with house money for now, and he's essentially
on credit. He's on credit, and the repo man is
circling the block looking for the Stafford car. And so
(11:27):
McVeigh I totally get the mindset. You treat Matthew Stafford
like it's an all you can eat buffet. You gotta
go fast, you gotta go quick. As much food on
the plate. There's a two hour time limit. The two
hour time limit at these buffets now often so you
gotta pile up the food. In this case, you pile
up the snaps with Matthew Stafford, hoping that the plate
(11:47):
does not collapse before you get to dessert, your stomach
doesn't fill up. However, I believe we have seen this
movie before. I've been to the movies. I've seen this
movie before. It's not a matter of if, matter of if.
It's a matter of when the back flares up, like
a California wildfire, which we have fire season in Californy.
(12:07):
This is a week to week, half to half quarter
to quarter play to play situation for Matthew Stafford. And
every time Stafford drops back with the Rams, starting this
Sunday against Houston, assuming he makes it through pregame warm
ups with it out his back flaring up, assuming he
actually gets on the field, every time Stafford drops back,
(12:29):
you're rolling the dice like you're at the MGM Grand
Craps table and you're praying it's not snake eyes. You're like,
no snake guys, no snake eyes, no snake eyes. The
Rams are trying to squeeze every last morsel, every last
ounce of juice from the orange before pivoting the plan
be Now, what is Plan B, which is either Jimmy
(12:52):
Garoppolo who loves a good porn star who doesn't, and
the human band aid Jimmy Garoppolo, the aforementioned as the
goes haunting Tom Brady with the Patriots, or Stetson Bennet
who looks like he wandered onto the field right out
of a frat party. Stets In Bennett and for some
(13:12):
reason he has been hanging around for several years. He
was really good at Georgia Georgia many years ago. So yeah,
Stafford's gonna start Week one. We pop the champagne. Very
exciting here now, regardless, the Rams are standing on a
powder keg and the fuses are now. I'm convinced the
Rams will be fine. When Stafford does andevitably get hurt.
(13:33):
They'll still be fine in the regular season. The issue
becomes postseason play. They're in a division where the other
quarterbacks in their division are alligator Arms, Murray, overrated brock
Purty who now got paid, the forty nine ers are
about to get played, and Seattle that is trying to
put Sam Darnold out there as a good quarterback. That's
(13:56):
a terrible division for quarterbacks. So Stafford's head and shoulders above.
There's other stiffs in the division. The problem is gonna
get hurt. So the Rams will still be okay because
they've got a defense that, as they say in Poker's
on the come. So there they're getting better defensively. And
so though I'll enjoy my positions, I'll enjoy as a
Ram apologist, I'll enjoy Matthew Stafford playing while we have
him out there. The Rams, I don't work for the team.
(14:19):
And then it's kind of like binge watching. It's like
binge watching your favorite show before it goes off the
streaming service that you're whatever it is, and the ending
is already written. We know how it ends. It's just
a matter is it happened week one? Is it week seven?
The worst case scenario would be like week twelve or thirteen,
pass the trade deadline. You can't get any help and
(14:41):
you're stuck. That's the problem right now. Last thing to Pittsburg, PA,
the Land of the Insers, where Sean the hood guys.
Pittsburgh Steelers have a game on. It's game week in
Pittsburgh and the stories do not end about air and right,
that's right. Aaron Rodgers, now seniors quarterback. Aaron Rodgers went
(15:04):
viral yet again. What did he do? Did he pop
up on the Joe Rogan podcast again? Did he say
something wacky?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Eh?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
No, Aaron Rodgers went viral for looking extremely slow. That
was during drills and practice. There was a clip making
the rounds here is that fair or unfair? Fair or unfair?
So this is likely a bad take. I'm supposed to
(15:33):
embrace the outrage machine, but I would say cool your
jets for cool your former jets in this case here,
I would say unfair. Now, we recommend going to CBS,
going down to CBS and getting some doctor trusted treatment
for your premature shot in freude. And there's a lot
of this with Aaron Rodgers, and then you know the
(15:56):
matrix is out of control. You're acting like Aaron Rodgers
just for a role with a Walking Dead and he
was wearing a Steelers helmet and all that stuff. The
clip is twenty two seconds. It's a twenty two second clip.
It shows just a light workout and Rogers kind of
jogging around. Is he a fossil because of this, eh,
(16:19):
you know he was plotting. I'm not gonna sit here
and pretend like that was a quick situation. We've seen
grandmothers at the mall power walk faster than that. However,
last I checked, nobody in that clip none of the
teammates of Aaron Rodgers were going pedal or metal to
the pedal and all that. They were not practicing full
(16:41):
pedal down. They were not going full speed, is what
I'm trying to say. And Rogers is in his early forties.
He's not last I checked. He's not twenty four unless
he's found some way to go back in time. And
maybe he has. Maybe one of his buddies took him
to see Ponstevione in Florida and they had some gaba
ghoul and they're good to go. He's not last I checked.
(17:02):
Maybe I'm wrong on this. I just in the Overnight show.
I don't think Aaron Rodgers is supposed to be the
speed racer. He's supposed to be the guy launching missiles
from the pocket while defenders are still kind of trying
to tie their shoes together and all that stuff. And
you don't sign Aaron Rodgers expecting him at this age
to run around like he's Lamar Jackson, prancing through defenses.
(17:24):
You don't you sign him to drop dimes like he's
tree the up our buddy for ups there with the flamethrower.
That's what you're doing here. And his job is to
read defenses, to not run wind sprints and all that stuff.
And so I will take the position of letting the
good times roll, let the tape roll. We'll be watching
(17:46):
week one, and I promise you I will be the
first one to come in here with forrest hammer and
knock down Aaron Rodgers if he goes out there and
rides the vomit comet against the Jets and the Steelers opener, No, we'
out there throwing ducks. We will roast him like a
marshmallow at a campsite. All right. We'll make some s'mores
(18:08):
out of Aaron Rodgers. Until then, though, we'll we'll let
him stretch out his achilles and sip his ayahuasca in piece.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
All.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Right, back to it we go. And we began here
with the latest rant, the latest stylings of Tom Brady,
a lot of commentary. I've got more reaction on Blue
than anything I've said in the monologue. So I should
just talk about Blue, who I've learned from the malum
list we talked about earlier because Carolina Panther wide receiver
hunter Renfro missed a bunch of calls because his daughter
(21:12):
was watching Blue on the phone. Alf the Allen says
Bluey is an ausy contribution to the Disney family. Is
what he says. Ferg Dog says Blue is a great show. Ben,
I watch it by myself all the time. Is that
allowed I have no knowledge of anything. Is that like
going to.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Check You're not gonna lie to you, Ben. I know
a lot of adults who actually enjoy watching Bluey.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Are they the ones that go to the Furry Convention
in Pittsburgh every year? They're like parents, They're like, oh yeah,
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
My child doesn't even have to be awake, and I'll
put on bluey Okay, isn't that weird?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Seems to watch My Little Pony? Right, so one of
those weird leg.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Okay, Jeremy says. Blue is an Australian public broadcasting cartoon
that has been globally syndicated by Disney Gorn Jeremy, so
there you go. Also, we had some conversations about the
Cinnamon role and Corey says, listen, everything is He parroted
my line. Everything from a donut shop is a donut
end of story. That's right. There you go. And when
(22:12):
when the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend.
That's the reality of the Cinnamon role. That's it. There
you go. Uh, Alf, you're going to be out of
the ring of honor if you disagree. Alf. I'm just saying,
let's go to the phones right now. And in absent,
we were very worried about this guy. We were in Vegas,
we did the Mallard meet and greet and we were
hoping he would show up. He was the life of
(22:33):
the party last year. Nowhere to be seen. We welcome
in the legendary mouth washed Mike from Vegas.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Yeah, you know, I was in the hospital. You know,
I didn't know where you were gonna be.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Well, we were at the same We were at the
same Mike, you were blackout drunk. We were at the
same place we were last year you showed up at.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
The steak out.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah, we were the stake out boring girls.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Oh no, when was it?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
How do you know you were in the hospital If
you don't.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Know what it was, well, I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Also, why were you blackout drunk in the hospital?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Why are they letting you drink in there?
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Sometimes they drink in the hospital and not all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
But do they have a good bar? Do they have
a good bar at the hospital?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
You know, if you bring your on.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
They don't check you for alcohol, Like the nurses don't
check to see what you got you just like I
got my I got my wallet, I got my watch,
I got my flask of alcohol.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
No, no, no, they don't even check you for that.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
They do. They call you mouthwash Mike. Do they know
your nickname? That your mouthwash?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Now?
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Because they just.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Because he's usually unresponsive and they just have to look
at his ID just to resuscitate him.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
The doctor recently told me. I was at Sunrise Hospital
and he told me, you know what, if you're going
to keep drinking, don't stop because it could kill you.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I'm a doctor, So a doctor told you to keep drinking.
This sounds, ir? Does this not sound eerily similar to
beer drinking? Brian from back in the day. I feel
like we're going down the same road here.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
I don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I understand you probably did, but you're so drunk you
don't remember. But he used to call the show back.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
In the day, and I'm calling you from an international airport.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Oh, you're at the airport. Are you leaving town? You're
going back home?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
I mean, you know, home homes were the.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
What do you what do you what do you consider
your home? Mouthwash, Mike, what do you consider your home?
Where you grew up?
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Where I grew up, it was like the Lemon side
of the state of Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Okay, So you don't want to go back to Minnesota.
It's okay, no, coach, No, why would you living in Vain.
When's the last time you swam in the fountains of
the Bolagio?
Speaker 6 (25:27):
You know it would have been a while Ago, and
I was.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Gonna do it.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
You get did you do it without me?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yes? And Me and Coop and Loraina all decided to
swim laps and yeah we did. How much fun was that?
I got my birthday suit? I jumped right in the
fountain of the Belagio. Was I won the race though? Yeah,
Coop one and I got to sing to the song
that they played the whole time, which was the Michael
Jackson song. It was funny because Loraina actually thought she
was a mermaid. Yeah, for some reason, I don't know why. Yeah, listen,
(26:00):
we're very worried about you. Shut up. We're worried about you.
For we hope you're you do better. We're concerned about you.
We plan on going back to Vegas next August, so
try to stay alive and try to stay out of
the hospital.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Okay, I gues, I don't know if I'm gonna be
here next August. Can come out and.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
See, well if you can, if you can get to LA,
We're going to have a meet and greet and.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Come on, you know I can get to La. I'll
have to do just call my mom and say, oh my,
you know what, I need to.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Go to La and your mama, dear old mama. We
went in doubt, call mom, That's what I say, went
into out. Call you know how old are you? By
the way, how.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Old are you? Pat get out?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
How old are your mouth washed?
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Mike?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
You don't even know? Eight years forty eight not too
old for his mama. Still call him mom, your mama's boy.
I respect that I pestered my mom right up until
she left this mortal coil. I bothered her. Yes, all right, well, yes, what.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
Where do I come? Busy guys at where's your studio?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You want to come to the studio? All right, I'll
put you on We'll put you on hold the coop.
You take care of that however you want. And I
feel like if he shows up, he's not going to leave.
I feel like he shows up, he's going to be here.
Why don't we.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Down this kind of path off and it's not gone? Well?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, when we let the drunks in here, it doesn't
usually end up very well. They end up passed out,
barfing in the corner. It's a problem. Why don't we
schedule malor meet and greet just for him? I will
do one.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
We have people in LA that want us to do
these things. We can do one and no. Sure I
like the idea. That way, he doesn't have to come
here right neutral ground, will meet him somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
That'd be cool if we don't. We don't serve alcohol here.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
So no, but most of the places we go do
serve alcohol. So and they'll love you. Although he doesn't bite.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
It into the hospital. We could do it in his
hospital room.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
We could. We could go around the bed and uh,
you know, take shots. All right, Well, mouthwash, Mike. I'm
sure Coop will pick up here in a second. Entertaining you.
Let's go to blind Scott who told me. Blind Scott said, Ben,
I'm going to take the month of September off. It's
a football heavy show. A lot of hard oh football
fans call the show. It's not for me. I do stick.
(28:18):
I'm not going to call the show. So let's say
a little blind Scott.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Hello, Blind Scott, Hey, yay Turck yesterday. Oh Man, Yeah,
I'm glad you made that stop with that guy, Mike.
Man that he's talking about the delirium tremors. So if
he stops drinking he gets to the DTS. I got
those when I went to that guy school that got
kicked out of like twelve years ago. Dude, but that
guy sounds so obnoxious, Like you don't realize once you
(28:43):
see that guy in your own personal life that he's
going to completely ruin your life. You know what I'm saying,
Like everything with that guy is wrong, Like he needs
God to come in and reach like crab.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Are you saying mouthwash? Mike needs God?
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Yeah, he's like a look at guy like happy, but
he needs God to reach inside and his soul and
say you're ruining your life and mouth and watch my
hear the thing on the street. One of those people
get in my face all the time. They're wicked friendly,
but it's the way it's feeling in the world. Don't
grab onto you though. Some guy almost hit me with
his car over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Dude, how do you know that?
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Well, here's what happened. There's a factful going with a
luxury vehicle. It almost hit me. He goes get out
of the road. I was displaced. The sidewalks were closed,
so his wife actually got out. It was like a
huge age gap different. So I said, do you know
Fred Toucher because he's the expert in age gap Because
of the Bill Belichick convo with Jordan Hut.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I didn't know he was an expert. Now, I had
no idea.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, yes, she.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Made this groaning noise when I said, you know Fred Toucher,
she goes.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I thought it was I thought, well, that's what most
women probably do when they hear that name.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
They started, Yeah, yeah, this Bill, this Bill Belichick story. Man,
this is a public kink. Dude, it's a public humiliation thing.
Like who would ruin their career like this in front
of Michael Jordan to watch?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You know what I'm saying, Like Jordan doesn't care. He
probably left at halftime. You think he gives a crap?
Come on. He was asked to be there because it's
a big day for the university, so he showed up.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
AM's the first swords of the show. So did you
see Blake Snell was there?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
His name was he is? He was? I think that
was bog I don't think he was there. I didn't
see him on the broadcast. And somebody said, look, yeah,
it makes no sense.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Yeah, it makes no sense to I didn't see the
connection at all. I think it was a typo. I
think it was the other one. Blake Griffin. Actually, I
actually it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Doesn't make sense either. He went to Oklahoma.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Blake Griffin retired. He's retired, dude. One other thing that
doesn't make sense is that go Bu Cannon guy. He's
on every radio station.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Canon gobiu Canan is a different man.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
There are myths by so.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
I always call the station after and go, this is
this guy, Oh, thank you, And then he calls the
next hour. You know what I mean, it's it's And
then he talks about Howie Carr too. Howie Carr got
kicked out of Boston. He's an internet radio show. He
lives in Florida. Now, Howie the North End? It's not
like car. Have you read those books how We Carr
wrote about the North End? Man do.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Some stuff with Whitey Boulger. Back in the day. Howie
Carr wasn't he involved in hated No, That's what I'm saying.
He like took you, like trashed him in the paper.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
He went into jail. Howie Carr, in every stitch in
the business, helped how We Carr write these terrible books
about the North End.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
That's why I don't know about all that. I don't know.
I gotta go. I thank you. Let's say a little
hollering James, who's in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hello, hollering James, Hey, Ben,
what's wrong? What are you upset about? There's nothing to
be upset about. You should be happy.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
I'm happy, but I'm upset because Cool wouldn't let me
play Mountain Malers not in the money, and I think
I'm gonna do better.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Your partner, you.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Know, at this time you might actually be right about that.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Well, the fact that the fact that Aiden wrote the
vomit comet, this guy Aiden from Boston, Boston area called
up and got so freaked out by athletes born on
May first. He forgot all the clues and was just
hyper focused on May first. He did not know who
ched Holmgren, Curtis Martin, Wes Welker. I think after that
(32:16):
we kind of just kid.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Do you still you still have the board?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah? Have the board.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Let's let's let's see real quick.

you want to play the game, James, All right, Jam
let's play the game real quick. Shut up, Let's play
the game.
Speaker 2 (32:32):

looks like skeletor.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Good. I'll set Let's see Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
That would be.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Okay. Oh for one, how about this a running back
for the Patriots and the Jets. He's a Hall of
Famer with a generic name. Played in the nineties, in
the early two thousands.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Let's see here.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yes, that's right, that's right. White wide receiver for the Patriots,
slot receiver for the Patriots in their glory days before
Julian Edelman. That's right, you're very white. Yes, let's see
what else do we have. Let's skip ahead. How about
African American pitcher was just released by the Yankees a
(33:24):
couple of weeks ago. Kind of an angry guy pitch
for the Cubs in the Blue Jays, sat out here
in COVID, sat out the year. That's right, amazing, you
would have done better. All right, we have the game.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
You would have done great, Jams.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I'm very impressive.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Sorry I did not let you play.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, all right, thank you. Dick and Dayton, real quick, Hello, Dick,
good morning, the great Dick and Daton. There, give me
a little taste of that. You're more of a Browns
fan than a Bengals fan. How many wins for the
Browns this year, Dixter, I.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Say, I talked to Jeff and Titus. I'd say eight
games this year.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You think they're gonna win eight games? You are the
most optimistic man in the entire state of Ohio. Even
the Browns front office doesn't think they're gonna win eight games.
That's impressive.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, well, thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, you're mister positivity there, Dixter. Any any music, any music,
gigs or anything? What do you got going on? Any music?

Speaker 2 (34:31):
I've been playing the string Benders a lot. But oh good, good,
right down here, I told you activities Trey and Heather.
Get me to play a little bit, you know during the.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Like I like Trey Moore. It is it hoot nanny?
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yeah, it's sort of a hoot nanny. Yeah, I enjoy it.
It's nice. It's really nice.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, of course. Well you're a very talented musician. And
will you be calling the Browns postgame show after every game?
Speaker 5 (34:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
What about the Bengals? Do you call the Bengals too?
Or no?
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Yeah? I call yeah, I us tried to get to
one of my favorites down there, a legend.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Oh a great chick Ludwick. Of course.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yeah, but sometimes it's on the on the Bengals, they
go to b W three's here around the area.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, and uh, I gotcha.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
They take the calls from there, and I think it's
about well, if the Browns played early, it's about four four,
about four point thirty, they take calls.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I gotcha. You know the exact time. Because you're an
expert at the Browns postgame show. I got to leave
