do you interpret the report that there is quote no
chance close quote that the Browns will trade Miles Garrett?
And do you believe Carson Wentz is being truthful on

(00:45):
defending the Viking coaches? He's playing hurt or he did
play hurt. He's out for the year now. And does
Jerry Jones deserve the heat he's getting for his Wall
Street Journal comments? It was a silly line. Reporters did
not take it so silly. We'll talk about all that
and more right now here it is your lucky dog.
It's our number four, a fresh baked brownie. But do

(01:15):
you want to stay at Brownie? Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Maler Show. We are

At DraftKings, the crown is yours. And we'll get to
the lead this hour, but we'll start with a quick
mention as the Los Angeles Dodgers are on life support.

(03:50):
Their season is on life support as they are a
dumpster fire. Right now. The Dodgers have booked a flight
to Panic City as it has been a cosmic struggle
this week against the Toronto Blue Jays, and yet again
the Dodgers is a total debacle as Trey Y Savage

(04:13):
with a savage performance for the Toronto Blue is one
of the great World Series starts domination. He struck out
every Dodgers starter in the lineup. Show hal Tani again hitless.
Mookie Bets batting a buck thirty, a buck thirty. I
wonder if the Red Sox are gonna take a victory.
Who told you? Mookie Bets? At some point he was
gonna be on the Siberian Express, and now here he is.

(04:35):
He's like a popsicle. He's melting. He's been God, has
he been bad? Blake Snell. The Dodgers gave Blake Stell
a ton of money to win World Series games. He
has an ERA of eight. He's done and he might
pitch in relief in one of the games that he
goes the game seven. But Blake Snell gave up ten
earned runs in the World series. So bad, bro, I playing.

(05:00):
Let's I get my I'm risking my live braw don't
want to get the road up? Oh my god. So yeah,
I do want the Dodgers to win. I'm not upset.
I am not upset that Blake Snell has been a
dirty diaper. I'm not. I admit it. I'm not. I
so great anyway, that's some Shoden Freuda. Our lead this

(05:23):
hour is not about that. Instead, we are going to
milk all that we can out of the upcoming trade
deadline in the NFL. We go to Cleveland, better known
by its gangst the name as the Mistake by the Lake,
but less than a week away. And then well now
it's Thursday, so we gotta get through the rest of
the day. We'll go through Friday and Saturday and then

(05:45):
Sunday and Monday so and then Tuesday. So uh yeah,
that's the big day. Tuesday is the big day. And
some names have been floated around. We've talked about some
of these names as we've gone through the overnight. It'll
all be up on the podcast. It's kind of a
theme if there's a theme to the show. Now there
is mister Defense that is currently working at the factory

(06:07):
of sadness, he might be transferred to another factory. If
you've not heard the latest on this, perhaps not. We
have heard that there is said to be no chance
that's the quote, no chance that the Browns would even
consider trading Miles Garrett by Tuesday's deadline. Adam Schefter, his
friends call him shifty and Adam Schefter used to be

(06:30):
a Fox Sports radio contributor. How about that fun fact
early on before he was working he was working at
Denver and then he went over to the NFL network
and was an insider for them, and we used to
have as a guy on our network. I don't know
what ever happened to him. Anyway, He's a good dude,
Schefter says. His source added, people have a better chance

(06:52):
of winning the lottery than Miles Garrett being traded. So
that's a good jumping off point. So let's discuss the question,
how do you interpret the report that there is quote
no chance, close quote that the Browns are going to
trade Miles gear So on this one, my take, I've
got CarMax, boy Scout and genetics, and we'll throw all

(07:16):
of these things together and we're gonna make the babache.
We're gonna make the baba ganooche. So to lead off,
my BS detector overheated. Like when Loraina puts a sandwich
into the microwave, it just burned up right, I mean
it was on fire, if you know what I mean,

(07:38):
if you missed it. Lorraina famously went in the kitchen earlier,
the FSR Tech queen. She wanted to heat up a
sandwich and she put it in the microwave. It was
wrapped in aluminum foil. You might imagine what happens. I
do not recommend doing that. Yeah, I just want to
point that out anyway. So the BS detector thing. The

(07:59):
answer to that is you and I both know that
when you hear no chance in the NFL, that NFL
verbiage translates to call us with your best offer. We'll
think about it now. The other part of it is
technically there is no chance because the one that's making

(08:19):
the decision is Miles Garrett. The team can't decide to
trade Miles Garrett. They don't have the option. They don't
have the option to trade Miles Garrett. And we're talking
about human beings anyway, It's not powerball numbers. And a
better chance of winning the lottery. Situations change. You've got
egos involved, you've got machismo involved, You've got these snakes

(08:42):
called agents involved. Miles Garrett got the biggest deal for
any any non quarterback in the history of that business
at the time he signed it. He also got a
full no trade clause, all right, full no trade class,
which means the team has no chance to trate him
unless Miles Garrett, if he wants out, all he has

(09:06):
to do is raise a little hullabaloo and then he
ends up in the transfer portal. You know, start shaking
some trees. The tallest blade of grass, what happens to it?
That's the one that gets cut first. If Miles Garrett
truly wants to leave Cleveland and wants to cause problems,
then okay, you know it's not gonna be done through

(09:27):
the through the front door, like these things are done
back alley. Middleman trench coats, agents whispering to teams like
Miles Garrett's agent calling up Jerry Jones, Hey, Jerry, how
would you like Miles Garrett to be the Cowboys? Defenser
calling up the Patriots, Mike Ratway, Hey, Mike, how would

(09:49):
you like Miles Garrett. You know something like that. It's
done through back channels. You know that's how it's done.
You do it in the darkness, and you make it
feel like you're at Carmacs. Everything worked out. The age negotiates,
the team that Miles Garrett wants to play for, negotiates
the possible offers. It's like Carmacks. No haggling, no drama,

(10:10):
just present the offer. Everything's done nice and pretty and
let's roll, like Russell Wilson would say, let's roll. So
the no chance stuff is just pr smoke is all
that is. Great Players get traded all the time in
all the sports for all kinds of reasons, like no
one should ever say no chance. The Dallas Mavericks last

(10:33):
year traded Luka Doncik, And if you had said, hey,
is there a shot you trade, You're always gonna say
there's no chance, because all trades are a surprise and
all that stuff. And then no chance quote was because
the Browns don't have a chance unless Miles Garrett wants
to be traded and the Browns are trying to keep
the peace and all that. Regardless, there's never a no chance. Now,

(10:55):
there's always a chance all right. Furthermore to Minnesota we
go and the quarterback drama O rama, injured quarterback department,
injured quarterback department. Carson Wentz, it appears he's played his
last game as a Minnesota Viking. He'll be on the
Hobo Express going somewhere else next year. But Carson Wentz

(11:16):
in the middle of a firestorm on the game last Thursday,
when Wentz was flailing away for the Vikings in a
futile effort, one of the worst performances we've seen from
a Viking team in some time now. Carson Wentz attempting
to cut the right piece on the dynamite before it

(11:38):
goes kameboom. Trying to diffuse the controversy this over his
pathetic and painful final appearance as Viking quarterback, says he
has no ill will, no ill will towards the franchise.
Despite many whether they're algorithms or bots or whatever, complaining
that there should be some kind of NFL investigation into

(12:00):
I coach Kevin O'Connell continued to watch Carson Wentz defecate
all over the field, withering in pain. Did not remove
them from the game. Carson Wentz said, quote this isn't
my first rodeo. I like that, I'd use that line.
He said, this isn't my first rodeo. He was placed
on injured reserve this week, which means nana, naaa hey, goodbye.

(12:29):
He's out for the year surgery to repair his left shoulder.
Quote continues went Wentz. Wentz said, I'm not an idiot.
I know what I was signing up for going out there.
Nobody was forcing me, pressuring me any of those things.
Close quote question do you believe Carson Wentz is being

(12:51):
truthful in defending Kevin O'Connell and the Viking coaching staff
on playing hurt? All right? So you know that I
am someone who lives in a cynical world. I don't
believe ninety nine percent of what I hear when it
comes to people in sports. I just don't. On this one,

(13:13):
I actually do. I'll be Benny Bright's out on this. Look.
The guy's a bit of a boy scout. That's the
main reason I buy what Carson Wentz is selling. He's
one of those off shocks kind of guys, straight shooter,
god fearing, honest, red blooded American and to a fault.
Right when he says nobody forced me. Normally I would

(13:34):
say bull crap on this one. I buy it. I
don't think this is some pr spin from a diva quarterback.
It's Carson Wentz. In fact, I would bet you one
hundred dollars that Carson Wentz likely apologized to Kevin O'Connell.
He apologized to the Vikings team doctor, the trainer when
he was revealed that he had the injury. I don't

(13:57):
think he's a phony in that way. Now we can
talk all we want about how pathetic a player he
is and how cringe worthy he is out of the field.
That's fine. He did show some guts, some machismo, went
out there with one working wing and still tried to fly.
It turns out you can't fly if you have one wing.

(14:18):
Most players, most players would have waived the white flag.
And so there's a little bit of old school toughness there.
Of course, it backfired to a fault. There's a little
bit of tip of the cap, tip of the headphones
to Carson Wentz, that old school kind of Hey, I'll
go do it. I'll do it, and that's what I

(14:39):
want to do. And he knew he was busted up.
He knew the Risks, and he still suited it up
and went out there and play the blame game. The
error is pointing the air row I should say on
the blame game is pointed at Kevin o'contell O'Connell, the
coach there of the Vikings, and also the medical staff

(15:00):
for Samuel. Hey buddy, you can't even lift your arm,
you're done. They never said that. Instead, they went with, we, well,
let's see if he can go out and kind of
gut it out. That was the plan, brilliant, which tells
you how much they had zero confidence in the backup

(15:20):
quarterback that day for the Vikings. Right that, the wheels
were in motion. No matter what Carson wentz, unless we
have to put him on a cart, we're not going
to hit the panic button and take him out, even
if he's serving up chopp liver. We're not going to
do it. And they didn't do it. They didn't do
it in Minnesota. Right, last thing, the obligatory mention of
the Dallas Cowboys. Oh yeah, cowboys blown out last week.

(15:43):
Back in the headlines again, but not from a normal source.
Normally we get a couple of stories a week from
Jerry Jones and his radio show. He does a couple
of radio appearances in Dallas, and it's normally a gold
mine for those of us to do overnight talk radio.
So Jerry opened his mouth again, and like every other time,

(16:04):
we got a full on fireworks show, people losing their mind.
I can't believe Jerry said that. Oh my god, it's
not right. Yeah, so what did he say? This comes
from the Wall Street Journal. Now I would read the
Wall Street Journal, but it's behind a paywall, so I don't. Anyway,
he told the Wall Street Journal that he's too busy

(16:25):
making one hundred billion dollars. At Jerry Jones say he's
too busy. He made one hundred billion dollars off a
one billion dollar investment in a natural gas company. He
says he's too busy with that to fix the Cowboys
defense and people of course acting like he's auditioning for secession.

(16:47):
Now I'm paraphrasing what he said, but he made a
joke to a reporter from the Wall Street Journal, who
of course then put it in their story because it's
a funny thing. And the question does Jerry Jones deserve
or the level of vitriol, the level of heat that
he's getting for his Wall Street Journal comments about his

(17:10):
success in natural gas. All right, So I look at
this with an inquisitive look, and I genuinely wonder if
this is legit or if I'm living in some kind
of odd simulation, Because what kind of country bumpkin would
hear what Jerry Jones said and would take that seriously?

(17:35):
And if there are some real people, And I'd like
to think that that's not real, that this is just
contrive for engagement, that somebody stumbled across the story and
they're just creating a story ed at thin air. But
what kind of country bumpkin took this seriously? These people
suffer from poor genetics. They are lacking the sarcasm gene.

(17:56):
They don't get it. They don't I get this. I
get these people they are. There are people like that.
I get emails from him. I don't understand why you
said that, And I was like, well, you know, I
occasionally right back, I'd be like, well, I thought that
was a good line, you know, I thought that was
kind of funny. I went for the laugh. And they're like, well,
are you should You're talking about sports, this is very important.

(18:16):
You shouldn't do that. Well, why shouldn't I do that
because I like my sports and I don't like any jokes. Okay,
thank you, but you know there are peop. I had
a boss here. I will not say her name. Coop
knows who she is. She used to work here. She
did not get me at all. I did not get
the way we do the show. She got very upset
with me all the time. Just didn't get it. And
even when I was clearly joke like, Jerry Jones to

(18:37):
me was clearly joke like. He turned to Shakespeare Paint
the lily. If you know Shakespeare painting the Lily, right,
Jerry Jones is part oil baron. He's also a big
fan of jazz. He likes to jazz things up. He
loves to jazz thing, keeping you jazzed. And he's been
doing this for decades and it appears people, whether they're

(19:00):
real or not, keep falling for it. He's selling hope
in one hand and it appears based on the Wall
Street Journal story selling natural gas in the other, keeping
it real. Now, if I own the Cowboys, if you
owned the Cowboys, I'd like to think that we're on
the same page on this, that we would be doing
the same thing. In fact, I don't understand why you

(19:23):
would want to own a professional sports team unless you
could be part of the action. I really don't get it.
I don't just keeping it real. If I own the Cowboys,
I would want to be what Jerry Jones is. You
think that I'm gonna sit there in a sweet and
eat shrimp cocktail and drink whiskey with some rich aristocrats

(19:48):
and then let some other nerd run the football team. No,
I don't want them to have all the fun. I
want to have the fun. It's a billionaire's chew toy,
and the outraged crowd needs to calm down. At some point,
Jerry's gonna cross over the pearly gates and it's just
not gonna be as much fun. You can already tell
the kids a stooge. So it's just it. The sequels

(20:08):
never the equal. You look at all the great sports
franchises from years ago. The kids took over. The kids
have pretty much destroyed these teams. Look at the Raiders.
Al Davis was he was washed up at the end,
but Al Davis had some great raided teams. The kid
doesn't know what he's doing. The Lakers, Jerry Buss was
great Genie Bush, he's selling the team, but she's incompetent
as an owner. And you go down the list, yeah,

(20:30):
there you go and so and the other thing is
for the outreach crowd. Jerry Jones is not working at
the Pentagon. Okay, he's not planning on who to bomb.
He's juggling football and apparently fracking whoop the damn do?
And Jerry was clearly being tongue in cheap. But even
if he wasn't, like so what the guys the general

(20:52):
managery bought the team and he's not running a daycare center.
And Jerry's flaws and there are flaws are part of
the charm, part of the brand of the Dallas Calby,
the drama, the ego, the glorial. How great is it
that that that is a oil term? And you know
it's here's Jerry Jones. I know it's natural gas, but

(21:15):
same kind of sector. And Jerry, if this is accurate
acording to Wall Street Journal, one billion dollar investment. Now,
I don't have a billion dollars an investment, do you?
One hundred billion dollars? That means that he's made more
from that investment than the Dallas Cowboys are worth, that's brilliant.

It is a call in show, and we will say

Tom the Terrible.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
All right, Ben, how are you doing?

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Where have you been? Where have you been? Wa wait
wait wait wait wait wait wait time? Where the where
the hell have you? Where have you been?

Speaker 2 (25:35):
I've been listening to you, but I haven't really have
been calling. Uh But now the winning football season, it's
I want to get back with Delck. That ships the
worst coach in the history and the history of football
North Carolina. Unbelievable. He he's done there, I think pretty
soon already. He was the worst coach we ever had.

(25:57):
We can't finally get a good coach.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Brable.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
He's a decent coach, and I just hope this kid
is as good as Mac Jones. Belichick ruined mac Gills.
He was a great quarterback and up and coming, and
now they get a new quarterback that's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
But I know that you you answered that. You answered
the question. Tom the Terrible are terrible? Tom, You answered
the question. Once the Patriots got rid of Belichick, that
was your agenda, and you've your mission was reached. You
reached your mission, your goal, and now you're good. You
don't need to call because the Patriots have a good
coach and they have a good team, and so you're happy. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Coach.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
She said, he's a decent coach. This this Belichick was
just skip still know that he's going to the Hall
of Fame. She's the worst coach in the history of
football and he's going to the Hall of Fame because
of Dom Brady, the greatest quarterback and football. I can't
believe it.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
You way, you were right, You were right, You were right,
Tom the Terrible. Congratulations on that and Belichick as rumors
he's gonna get whacked at North Carolina, although he did
say did you see that? You probably didn't see this,
but he said he ripped the reports. He said they
were garbage and he says they were posts on my
face or whatever. He said that he was in trouble

(27:20):
at North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
So yeah, well I'll tell you. But it was a
horrible coach. I couldn't believe anybody could think he was
a decent coaches.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
It's right, it's shocking. And they kept winning, they kept
winning the super Bowl. It's wild that people would think
he was a good coach, you know. All right, all right, listen,
I called. You don't have to wait for you can
call whenever. We love hearing your voice. Tom. I'm glad
you're still out there. Okay, you sir? All right? Tom
the Terrible guy would call up every night, just killing

(27:54):
Belichick and the Patriots and turned out in the end.
A lot of people agree with Tom the terrible Mugotti.
The trucker is driving around Connecticut. It says on my board,
Hello Mugotti, welcome. You're on the Ben Maler Show on Fox.
You have had good dedication to stay on hold unless
you're not there. Hello Mugotti. So I was praising this

(28:18):
dedication prematurely, bad job by me. Did Andrew and Bakersfield
call back? Why did he call back? Hello and Andrew
and Bakersfield Hello.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
Hello, Ben. I don't know what happened, but I couldn't
hit nothing. Sad to hang up, but I think you're right. Okay, yeah,
the doctors are right.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Wait wait, hold, hold a sec are you now? Are
you not retroacting because you killed me for my Dodger take?
You were like you were so wrong. They're gonna be fine.
Blake Snell. Blake Snell's giving up ten runs in the
World Series. He's only the third Dodger pitcher ever to
suck that bad in the World Series.

Speaker 5 (28:59):
Okay, well, I'm saying you're right in this sense. All right,
did you notice the fact that the Dodgers kept popping
the ball up? I got something to say, Dodgers, come on, now,
stop trying to hit the ball out of the park
and get a base hit.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah. Well, I've just got a text from Dave Roberts.
He said the team wasn't going to do that, but
since you called an overnight talk radio show, Andrew, they
are now going to stop hitting the ball in the air.
Thank god.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
Yes, sounds good to me.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
That's for any other requests. Would you like the request?
I don't know, the bullpen. Maybe get some guys out
that they inherit. Maybe that how about.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
That, No, have a good eye and wait for a strike.
How about all right?

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Okay, yeah that's a ball. That's a bold take. You
know what you should be doing. The Dodgers are going
to fire their hitting coach if they don't win the
World Series, are gonna blame. They gotta have a fall guy.
So you could be the new hitting coach. You can
go in there and be the new hitting coach.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
Yeah. Watch the ball to the back the ball, hit.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Ball, brilliant. Yeah, no one, no one will.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
Okay, guys, I'm gonna go.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
I'm gonna go bang my head against the walls. Thank you. Okay,
oh my god, gets even better. Hollering. James has called back.
Why did you call back? James? You were on the
air for like seven minutes earlier in the show. Why
did you call back, James? What's going on with you? James?
Why is he not even snoring? Though? Is he there?
I'll see now if he's there, he's snoring. I don't

(30:28):
hear him. Oh, that's probably him calling back right there
on the other line. All right, well, this has been
a disaster. Let's go to Mike the leprecaun As. I
drowned on the radio. Mike the Leprecaun gets even better. Hello, Leprechaun.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
Then I will be a good I will be a
good call Halloween.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
That would be a first.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
Well Jesus anyway, I'm.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Going to bring Jesus his name into this. Oh, it's your.

Speaker 5 (30:57):
Birthday, it is my birthday.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Imaginations Michael Leprekain thirty one, thirty one can see the
difference between me and Mike the Leprechaun. What's that? Oh
you didn't, you didn't. You're right, Lorena of all things
did not promote her birthday and you know who did?
So you know what that makes him a diva? Yeah?
An attention whore. That's right, Michael. You'd admit, Mike, Mike,

(31:21):
you'd admit you're an attention whore. Yes, No, I'm not.

Speaker 6 (31:26):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
You but you but you love but you love to
be the center of attention, right, you like it? You
like that you have.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
I'm an introvert, then, no.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
You're not. I'm an introvert. You're not an introvert.

Speaker 6 (31:37):
I'm an introvert.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Didn't you say that?

Speaker 4 (31:39):
You go out and like introduce yourself as the Leprechaun
and promote bench show.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Introverts do not do that exactly.

Speaker 6 (31:46):
I don't tell anything.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
My neighbors don't even know I work in radio. Of
course they'd be embarrassed if they found out, but I
don't tell them.

Speaker 6 (31:54):
Okay, My favorite dead people for my mom and dad
born in Heavenward, my dad. My dad's gone a horse race.
No actually, And that person who called you was Mike
from New Hampshire. He pulled a prank on you, by
the way.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Well he got me. Yeah, that was that was a
massive prank. That was you know what, Lorena, that was
the worst prankice ever E pulled on me. That was
the worst prank of all times. Yeah, it's pretty bad,
all right? Is she still talking? I put him down
in the hole though, so it's more like a whisper.
It's like a whisper. Yeah, he's still going. He's gonna
be very upset when he finds out that his voice

(32:28):
is not being heard. It's gonna he's gonna send me
like emails and complain and then it's gonna be the
whole deal. And this is birthdays. You're being mean to
me on my birthday and all that. All right? You
give me a dad joke? I'll hang up on you.
How about that? Give me a dad joke? I can
hang up on you.

Speaker 6 (32:44):
Yes, hey, why is Marcel dressing? Well? Actually I two jokes,
but one is about Lorrainer for tomorrow and her call room.
But anyway, the other joke is why is Marcel dressing
as a skeleton this Halloween? I don't know, because he
has no guts and he scares and blocks people.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
U huh are you going to dress up as a
bottle of sunblock for Halloween? You should dress up as sunblock?
What's your favorite sun block?

Speaker 6 (33:21):
I told you before, Vazzalen. No, it's a Hawaii Hawaiian tropic.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
He must be very I think you like vasily and
for something else. But all right, thank you? All right,
Well he's slow hanging fruit, he said it. Uh so,
Breece Hall, I'm told that's a football player for the Jets,
Breece Hall, whose name has popped up in the trade hopper.
Trade deadline is on Tuesday, and he has done something

(33:56):
that we get every time before the trade deadline when
a player he wants to be trade. He's tired of
playing for the Jets. Briestaul would like to go somewhere
else where they actually try to win. And so he
posted a cryptic gift on social media prior to the
trade deadline, and it is a I was trying to
describe the visual. It's a man with a beard, a

(34:22):
man who appears to be eating and looks like some
kind of nut or something like that. But no, it
is not Santa. But it's like he has a very
interested look, like he's watching seeing like maybe there's a
trade or something like there's something cooking, you know, I
don't know. So people, the great thing when you do
this job is you have to interpret what the gift

(34:44):
means or the meme. You know, what it all means
and all that stuff. But yes, I'm going to interpret
this as Breesehall is watching and waiting with baited breath
for a trade and he's hoping it happens, and he's

(35:04):
just letting the world know. He's trying to use that
hey speaking into reality. And so that happens every year
at this time. It's like the cryptic message, what does
it mean? What does it mean? It is the Ben
Mahler Show. As we are hanging out together and straight ahead,
we're gonna have fact or fiction? Is it a fact?

(35:27):

Speaker 1 (38:40):

here the stories, gentlemen, figure out which isn't true. Separate
fiction from backstory number one. All the all of the
story has to be true if part of it's true
and some of it's not as bull crap. Southern star
Jalen Brown severed in an embarrassment earlier this week. He
was driving to the basket his hairline appear to rub
off on an opponent's jersey for the fans roasted him

(39:01):
for having it painted on hairline, but the incident may
have earned him an endorsement deal. According to TMZ, MS
has reached out to Jalen Brown offering him free hair
loss treatment. So make some money on that. And story
number two YouTube star I Show Speed has started a
new YouTube series called show Are called Speed Goes Pro.
He challenges pro athletes. This week he went up against

(39:23):
the legend Joey Chestnut. Speed was given two minutes a
headstart was able to down five hot dogs in three minutes.
Chestnut was able to eat eleven in one minute. All right,

lot of time on the golf course. Kai Trump, an
aspiring professional golfer, will be making her LPG LPGA debut

(39:47):
the Granddaughter in November. She received a big sponsor exemption
for the event. All Right, those are the stories which
isn't true? Real quick alamdlu one two or three, Lou I'm.
