Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numeberfall on this Monday. A
programming note if you missed the Fifth Hour podcast, it's
my weekend version of this radio show. We do it
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and over the weekend we
talked about the latest collection to my burgeoning hat Empire.

(00:23):
If you want to hear about that, I've actually wearing
the hat right now as I do this show. You
can hear that on the Fifth Hour podcast. Over the
weekend we had a mail bag as well, never before
told stories. All of that available to you on the
Fifth Hour podcast. But here in hour number four, what
is your appraisal of those reports that coach Mike McCarthy
is fed up with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones meddling in

(00:47):
his coaching. Also predictions that Sequon Barkley will have a
Christian McCaffrey to the forty nine ers like impact with
the Eagles. Is that how you see it? And chatter
that Amazon's are Jeff Bezos wasn't blocked, however, he was
outbid for the Washington NFL team. Is that even possible?

(01:08):
Is that even possible? We'll go there as well. All
of it's coming Your way right now here. It is
our number four pushing buttons. But are they the right buttons?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Welome, In the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere in the
passenger seat as we sing a different tune, coast to coast, border,
the border, and beyond on the vast and stupendously powerful

(01:44):
microphones of FSR emmating live from the down the touchdown
right in the back of the end zone as we
are broadcasting live from the tire rack dot Com studios.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Tyre ract dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Will help you get there in unmatched selection, asked, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stallers tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be.
And Alf the Alien opiner saying that ten thousand people

(02:17):
have lied about his pick in Game seven of the
Stanley Cup Final, Alf the big p one. There in Springfield,
home of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame, where Muffet
McGraw isn't shrined. But our lead this hour comes from
deep in the heart of Texas. We're contractually obligated to
never stray that far away from the NFL. We'll get

(02:38):
back to the hockey and see where the gambling money
is on tonight's game seven. But this is about football,
the sovereign nation known as Jerry's world. Some noise breaking up,
breaking up the madness of the month of June here
in the NFL, the calmness of this random June day,

(02:58):
and maybe it, maybe you didn't some interesting reading. I
read that Cowboy coach Mike McCarthy is fed up in Quota,
fed up, fed up with his boss Jerry Jones, fed
up with him and his meddling with Cowboy affairs. So

(03:19):
that is this story that's bouncing around here. Port said,
the McCarthy's doing the best he can, best means as
all the rest, but he's fed up with it a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
So let us discuss. That's what I want to talk to.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
You about, the question what is your appraisal of Mike
McCarthy and the report saying that he is fed up
with owner Jerry Jones and his meddling. So I've got
the Phantom of the opera, fantasy Island, and drawing a map,
and we will combine all of these things together and

(03:53):
we will attempt to make a birdie, not a real birdie.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
That's a golf term a golf berd.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
See Loraina thought of gonna make a birdie, but now
it's gonna be it's a golfer all right now. To
lead off here or to kick off using football jargon,
I look at this report as both accurate and irrelevant.
Both these things can be true at the same time.
And I don't know anyone who has a boss who's

(04:21):
completely satisfied with their boss. And Jerry Jones liked the
Cowboys so much he bought them, He bought the entire operation.
And both these things can be say simultaneous true where
you are annoyed and it is irrelevant because you still
have to get her done.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Andy Reid, I bet you Andy Reid.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
In Kansas City, there are things that the front office
does that he's annoyed with and he just has to
deal with it.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
And that's that's life.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
And while much of the noise that's out there has
been about Dak Prescott and CD Lamb, Micah Parsons not
getting paid, will any.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Of them get paid? With a all of them get paid.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Mike McCarthy as a sidebar, Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Is hanging on by his fingernails and.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Spine our alert. He bites his fingernails. It's a bit
of a problem. Jerry Jones has been very loyal, very
very loyal to coaches over the years to a full
right to all this chapter of the book, The Tales
of Jerry's World, this chapter of the book Phantom.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Of the Opera.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Now, as you know, and Marcel and Brooklyn could tell you,
because he's a true New Yorker. Phantom of the Opera
the longest running show and musical in the history Broadway.
And we've seen this play before. It's contrived cowboy drama,
o rama. Jerry Jones cowboys thrive on the drama. It's

(05:49):
all about the drama, whether he's directly involved in it
or just rubber neckings on the side there gleefully in
Joe the show, because it keeps the cowboys out there
with a big bag of popcorn ready to go. McCarthy
is facing what I would call this a documentary like

(06:10):
season for Mike McCarthy in Dallas, in that this is
the last dance, this is the last dance.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
It's understandable that.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Mike McCarthy would have some issues with Jerry, who's got
a quirky approach to think but you.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Knew what you were signing up for.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
It's kind of obvious here and in Jerry's world, it's
one of those deals where up is down and left
is right and upside down.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Thing.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Bottom line though, in terms of the Cowboys is either
win you get to at least the NFC Title Game
or the Super Bowl, or else Jerry's going to get
some soap and do a little spring cleaning, get some
bleach out and scrub a dub dub. Finally, all right, Now, furthermore,
we stay in the NFC East, but we travel up

(06:58):
I ninety five over to to Philadelphia, the Delaware Valley,
and that is where the story over the weekend predictions
that to Saquan Barkley, ex of the Giants, will have
a quote Christian McCaffrey to forty nine ers type impact, says,
the big headline in Philadelphia is that how you see

(07:21):
do you see this being a similar scenario to Christian
McCaffrey coming from Carolina to San Francisco, That Sequon Barkley
will have a similar run going from the Giants a
few hours aw hour and a half away to Philadelphia.
So I'm gonna shake my head no on this My
answer is no. The Punits did not even expect Christian

(07:43):
McCaffrey to have a Christian McCaffrey type impact, So why
would you expect it to be the same deja vu
situation with bark And that turned out to be a
unicorn of a situation. And I don't know about you,
but I haven't seen two unicorns pop up one after another.

(08:04):
I haven't seen that. But Sakwan Barkley, who has been
a very productive player at different points in his career
with the Giants, you look at it, though, I don't
get that vibe. And I'm a big vibe guy. I
don't get the vibe that that's going to happen with
the Eagles. And not that he isn't built like a Donnis,
because he is, and he's fast, and he's powerful and

(08:27):
all that, but he's just not a dynamic pass catcher.
He's okay. But overall, this is fantasy Island. It's wishful thinking,
is what it is by Eagle fans. Philadelphia lost the
rock of their offensive line. Jason Kelsey wanted to become
a full time podcaster. I think he wants to coach
the Lakers someday. He knows that's the path to coaching.

(08:50):
The Lakers just do a podcast. So Jason Kelsey is
a podcaster full time. Now he's no longer playing, and
he was the glue guy to But it had been
a very successful Eagles offensive line. But then you've got
the underlying condition the Eagles. I'm not going to go
full Jerome and Charleston here and just burry, just bury

(09:10):
Jalen Hurts. But Jalen Hurts got paid, and so far
the Eagles have gotten played. They were so giddy by
that Super Bowl run. They gave Jalen Hurts big money,
big money, no Whomy, no wemmy stop and they got
to way me. So far they got to wha me.
And Jalen Hurts last season struggled, and really most of
his career struggled. If he couldn't run the ball, if
you forced him. It was the old cliche, the old

(09:33):
trope about running quarterbacks.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Make him throw to beatscha. And it used to be
if you made him throw, they wouldn't be able to throw.
Jalen Hurts, you make him throw dar in good shape.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
If you can't run the ball, that's the magical power
of Jalen hurts, and the bugaboo of reading defenses has
also popped up, and not particularly great at that, at
least not last year according to those that paid very
close attention to that kind of thing didn't go his way.
So that's a bigger issue. And then you've got the

(10:04):
boogeyman that Barkley gets hurt all of Well, so did
Christian McCaffrey, and he figured that out when he went
to northern California. But I'm pretty sure that Philadelphia, you
don't go there is to get healthy. That's not a
place you go to get healthy. All right. Now, the
last thing here, there was some noise also out of
the DMV the district of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia area there

(10:28):
that Amazons are Jeff Bezos, the man richer than everybody outside,
like two or three people. Jeff Bezos, it turns out,
was not blocked, if you believe the reporting, He was
not blocked. This is I believe the Financial Times reported this.
He was not blocked from buying the Washington NFL team. However,

(10:48):
he was outbid for the team that used to be
known as the Redskins. Is this possible? Is it possible
that the person richer than just a couple of peace
on the entire world was outbid for an NFL team.
So I have an unpopular opinion on this. I'm gonna
nod my head. Yes, Okay, I'm not my head. Yes,

(11:11):
it's called drawing a map. And in the case of
Jeff Bezos, who made his money from selling books, he's
a most successful book salesman because Amazon started out selling books.
That's how they started. It's kind of like Kim Kardashian
started out as a porn star. She's very successful as
a porn star, and Jeff Bezos started out as a
guy selling books, made a lot of money selling books.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Good for him.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
But you draw the map, you follow the numbers. Follow
the numbers. It's all about the analytics, stupid. And so
the way I see this story, and I trust the
Financial Times, they're pretty good. They're not as far as
I know, they're not in bed with any of these people.
So anyway, the numbers. If you fancy a thought on this,

(11:59):
you put a price tech. He's got a bunch of
people underneath him that do all the dirty work, and
they evaluate what something's worth, and they put a price
tag on different things that he's looking to purchase, whether
it's a mega yacht out in the Atlantic or whether
it's a football team. And so you put the numbers
in there, you type them into a calculator, you add

(12:20):
them up, you do some Zigli lines over here, you
do algebra, some calculus, and the old Redskins you run.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
The numbers are.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Worth blank, all right, They're worth blank and not a
die more, not a die more. Okay, Fine, So Jeff
Bezos establishing boundaries, much like you're drawing a map. You
establish boundaries, and you refuse to compromise and all that.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
But in terms of like, if you really wanted.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
To buy an NFL team, Jeff Bezos could buy every
single NFL team. He is worth two hundred and six billion,
could buy every team in the NFL and make it
private and just say that's it. I'm gonna buy every
team that's available for sale, and I'll have plenty of
money left over, and I just don't want to f around,

(13:08):
and that's what I want to do. But my spidy
like senses, my spidy like senses tell me that if
that team in Seattle does go on the market and
they are supposed to go for sale in the next
couple of years that he would go over what the
price tag says to own the Seahawks, because that's Amazon Country.

(13:29):
That's where the headquarters are of Amazon. They're all over
the world now, but that's the headquarters there. It's not
like Jeff Bezos spends a lot of time in Seattle.
He's in Miami, LA traveling all around. But be careful.
It seems good if Bezos gets your team, but methinks
that Lauren Sanchez will be the one that's actually running
the team, not Jeff Bezos. So you'll actually have Lauren

(13:49):
Sanchez as the owner by proxy of the NFL team
that Amazon will eventually owner, Jeff Bezos will eventually own.
It is the bean at Malors Show. If you'd like
to come in on any of that, there is a
line open. You can jump in, scream, shout, do the
whole thing if you want. Speakeasy rules are in effects,
so just figure out that number and call in. Also
on X at Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Mahlor if

(14:14):
you'd like to be part. And there's an old saying
in Vegas, get that dumb money, get that dumb money,
I get that dumb way. Well, they're doing it again
in Vegas, and it's got a sports twist to it.

Speaker 3 (14:29):

That dumb money. Gotta get that dumb.

Money in Vegas, and they found a new way to

of a stupid tax.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
We'll explain what that's all about.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
That alright, BOXX fining I will expay to you in
a little bit. We began here with a Malard monologue
which was heavily heavily influenced by the NFL the latest
cowboy contrived drama O rama about Mike McCarthy, and we'll
press off from that.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Now.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
There is a Game seven tonight and We like to
see where the money is in these game sevens and
try to figure it out.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
We'll do that coming up in a little bit as well.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Let's uh, well, boy z, that guy called it the Celtics.
They didn't win another championship, did they? They had the
parade last week. That's old news. But Blind Scott is
calling in, Hello, Blind Scott. Were you at the parade?

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Blind Scott?

Speaker 8 (17:08):
Yeah, Oh, that was such a great parade. They drove
so fast through all the crowds, though, but they wanted
to they wanted to clear the crowd out. I cried
at the end of the parade when I saw Jaylen
Brown with all those kids that he had on the
Ticks Sporting Good Bucksman. Emotional moment. It was an emotional moment.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
You know.

Speaker 8 (17:25):
This championship in Boston just proves that the Los Angeles
Lakers franchise is fraudulent. I mean, they have a banner
for a sports radio guy, Chip Kerrn. I mean, what
sports tradio guy deserves a banner? You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (17:38):
They have five somebody should give me a banner.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Are you support me getting a banner? Right Scott?

Speaker 8 (17:43):
Yeah, it's a clip for the Clippers.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Of course, that's right.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Me and Ralph Lawlers are get banners, that's right.

Speaker 8 (17:49):
Yeah, the Minnesota Lakers. They put five championships for the
Minnesota Lakers all in one banner. Those I'm legitimate championships,
you know what I'm saying. They got like a lot
more to catch up to the Els, and then they
got this bonehead coach. Now I wear the backwards hat.
Coaches don't wear backwards hats. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Calling coward here quoting coward, that's a coward love.

Speaker 8 (18:10):
Oh really, some must came through when I was sleeping,
Hey on the wire, here, I got Edwin Diaz being
thrown out of the Mets game last night. He had
some sticky substance on his hand. It's funny, my buddy.
He had this great job for the Mets and then
he got fired in April. It was like a dream job.
And every since these Mets, man, they're frauds who went
franchise Every New York team I listened to about a
New York sports talk They never say anything bad about

(18:32):
their team. I hate those New York teams. There are
a bunch of frauds, you know what I'm saying. I
was listening to these coming out of the wire again
list of these Reggie Jackson interviews over the weekend. I
loved it when he trashes Alabama. I wish you'd go
back to Birmingham. It's that bunch of people out again.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
I gotta go.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
I heard there's a Somebody told me there's a Netflix documentary.
They were following the Celtics around and last week after
the Celtics went to Miami to celebrate their championship, they
took some heat for that.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
People.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
I'm told back in Boston, we're not very happy, like
what are you doing? We don't have good enough bars,
we don't have good enough places as the party he
was following, So in an effort to suck up to
the natives, Joe Missoula paraded around Boston, the North End
there where all the great Italian restaurants are, and he
had the trophy. But it wasn't an organic ballment. He

(19:29):
had a camera crew and a makeup person with him
and a lighting person because it was for the documentary
they're making about the Celtics. It wasn't like he just decided,
you know what, I want to walk around and show
people the trophy. No, he had a camera crew. It
reminds me of Russell Wilson when he was in Seattle.
I took a lot of crap for this, but I
was ahead of my time. So Russell Wilson would go

(19:53):
to children's hospital with a camera crew and a makeup
person and a lighting person, and it just it's so ridiculous, right,
It's like, listen, you do it. You don't need a
camera crew to document you're going to the hospital. And
that's one thing about Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant, you heard
stories about him going to the children's hospital, but he

(20:13):
didn't have a camera crew with him when he was
going there, didn't have the camera crew behind him tracking him,
you know, getting all the footage to put on television.
Didn't do that, And so that's what you should do.
But certain people need to have a camera crew wherever
they go. Let's say hello to Marcel who is in Brooklyn. Hello, Marcel,

(20:39):
I just heard.

Speaker 9 (20:40):
Whatever what blind Scott says he hates my New York
sports teams.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
What do you have to say to blind Scott? What
would you like to say?

Speaker 10 (20:47):
To Scott, block him, block Himbo.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Moll tumbmo.

Speaker 9 (20:57):
Walck him.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
That's okay, very disrespectful, Yes for BLI Scott. But you, Marcel,
you call up this show. It's a national show. You
call up the Big Jab in Maine, right, You don't
call the local sports radio in New York.

Speaker 9 (21:15):
I was, but I'm doing the National Correspondent on Tuesdays
and then the reading the article on Thursdays as well.
Trust me.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Well, well you as well, said Marcel.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Of course.

Speaker 9 (21:29):
Also, let's not forget to let it scores update from
around the sports world with the Maddox Brothers on Wednesdays.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Oh, how could I forget? Eddie reminds me of that
all the time. Yeah, Eddie's a big hey listens to
you when you're on there.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
All the time.

Speaker 9 (21:44):
Man, Hey for me, I am so sorry listeners for
Wednesday and Friday because I have in Jersey the spending
time with my family. But trust me, it could be
a blast.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
We actually we actually almost got fired because you didn't
call in. There was some chatter we were gonna lose
our jobs because you didn't take a Marcel and Brooklyn call.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Let me let me look at the money, though, real quick.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Here in the game seven tonight, Edmonton in Florida and
currently Florida is a slight favorite. Slight favorite. But the money.
First of all, let's look at the professional gamblers, the pros,
the sharps, if you will, and they normally vote against

(22:29):
the popular opinion. But if you look at the sharps here,
there's no lean. It's pretty even, like, there's no lean
on the in terms of the money. The public is
betting more on Edmonton, not an overwhelming amount more, but
it's an edge to the oilers in terms of the

(22:50):
public the number of tickets wager. The money part of it, though,
is pretty pretty even. I know you're concerned about that.
You're a big gambler, Marcel.

Speaker 9 (22:58):
Right, I'm not a gambler. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Can't you play along, Marcel?

Speaker 9 (23:03):
Oh? If I gamble, I go into jail.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
That's true.

Speaker 9 (23:08):
I have to say for Game seven of the Stanley
Cup tonight, it will be representing the Sunshine States.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, good John, Marcel, Marcel, that's a terrible take. No,
it's a roost take you've ever had, Marcel? What about
every good America? What about all those men, women and
children in Edmonton, and they're listening right now. Your voice
is being heard all over Edmonton.

Speaker 10 (23:34):
What's wrong with you representing our beloved neighbors of the north,
representing the idigious names of Mentee, that's Edmonton, Look at
it in Alberta.

Speaker 9 (23:45):
I hope your oilers will try to get the tie.
And that's the things going forward.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Now, Marcell, Let's see how much you know about Canada.
What's the number one food dish from Canada?

Speaker 8 (23:57):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (23:58):
I can't remember the national walk the number one food, number.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
One food dish. We all love it. Every American loves it.
It's wonderful flower dish.

Speaker 9 (24:07):
What I set flower dish?

Speaker 3 (24:10):
But that no, Marcel, it's poutine. You ever had poutine?

Speaker 9 (24:14):
Poutine? Yes, poutine is Canada's national dish.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
The number one you're just reading up the internet is
how are you doing?

Speaker 8 (24:24):
God?

Speaker 9 (24:25):
Never mind, go with proutine from our neighbors of the north.
What what? What?

Speaker 3 (24:29):
What animal does poutine come from?

Speaker 9 (24:31):
Oh? Canada, that's where it is.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
It's actually it's actually a moose. It's part of a moose.
It's the underside of the poutine is the underside of
a moose. It's a scary moose and it's a spooky Moose.
It's a Halloween Moose is what it is? Adam?

Speaker 9 (24:51):
Hey, I Hey, Happy Happy Monday. I'll be back with
some food picks after my man Eddie got all the
sports from overnight, including the met turn things around along

Speaker 7 (25:29):
So right, You've been everything, Eddie fla first ever Stanley
Cup whole ice.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
They choked Eddie.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
That's disgusting the show, but they won't. Nobody who care
because it.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Was the greatest comeback of all time. Oilers, That's right.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
Coop just likes the book.

Speaker 11 (25:44):
Connor McDavid No, no, no, I've been an Oilers fan
since since Connor McDavid was drafted back in twenty fifteen.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
I've been an Oiler fan for like a month now,
and I love it. I'm big Oiler fan. Hoop is
a liar, just like I know. I've been a fan
for a month. I told you that I go way back, though,
Grant fe're back in.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
The day, Eddie in that?

Speaker 4 (26:02):
Yeah, are we going back to marcell Ar? Is he?

Speaker 11 (26:05):
I actually have a question, Eddie? Yes, all right, So
the the w n B A how many? How many
games are there in a question?

Speaker 1 (26:13):
You don't know, Eddie? You're the w Come on, man,
I have no idea. Eddie's playing dumb, Coop, is what
he's Yeah, I'm playing stupid.

Speaker 11 (26:22):
Well because like you gave that, you give the score,
and it was the Sky versus the Fever, Angel Rees
versus Caitlin Clark, which which has already happened.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
But I I know that there's only like.

Speaker 7 (26:31):
Could never happen enough, Coop, there's only like twelve teams
in the w n B A right, something like that,
something like that.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, so they got to play each other like pretty often, right?

Speaker 3 (26:41):
I have no idea, should you, Eddie?

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Should you tell Coop how many teams were in the
NHL when it started?

Speaker 4 (26:47):
When it started yeah, it was six.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, oh it's six, the original six When was that
one hundred years ago? More than that, there were there
were some other teams too that came along that that
weren't around anymore.

Speaker 7 (26:58):
But yeah, yeah, they had the original expansion and they
added the sixteen in the sixties that that was included
the La Kings, Saint Louis Blues.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's hot hockey talk.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Let me tell you something, don't I don't know how
long do Let's do it. Let's do a guess. Let's
do a guessing game. Who can name more of the
original six teams? Marcel or or Coop?

Speaker 4 (27:24):
What do you think I'm gonna say, Coop, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Don't don't cheat. Put your hands down, Coop, don't cheat, Marcel.
You want to play this game, Marcel guessing game?

Speaker 3 (27:37):
It is okay?

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Hold on, hold on, hold on? What are the rules?
He who's who goes first? I think Coop should go first?
How many guesses does he get? I guess six would
be right, six guesses.

Speaker 7 (27:48):
I guess We'll just let him trade off. Maybe if
you get it, If you get it right, you get
to go again. If you get it wrong, it's the
other guy's turn, and whoever gets the most until all
the teams have been picked.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Okay, uh, Coop, go first, your original six NHL teams.
The Canadians. Yes, yeah, that's all right.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
You can go again.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Now what are they known as other than the Canadians?

Speaker 4 (28:13):
What this other nickname?

Speaker 9 (28:15):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Yes, okay, Alps?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
They are you worried? Now, Marcel? Are you worried? This guy?
He's gonna get them all?

Speaker 9 (28:27):
All right?

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Keep going? The the Rangers.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, I think it's one more thing. It's over. Oh man, gosh,
keep going.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
Don't leave the door open for Marcel.

Speaker 11 (28:47):
The Bruins, Kenny, Kenny, run all right, hold on, I've
got one in mind, but I feel like there this
is a trap.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
The Jets.

Speaker 11 (29:03):
No, the Jets' name another Canadian.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
All right, let's see if Marcel can get the last two. Marcel,
you're up. We're doing the guessing game. Original six. Marcel
Coop got the Canadians, the Maple Leafs, the Rangers, and
the Bruins. There's two left, though, two can you get them?

Speaker 9 (29:24):
Let's go. Let's go Islanders.

Speaker 12 (29:28):
No black Hawks, black Hawks, there's one more one left, Goldberg,
the original gold.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Oh man, this is this is fun, this is so
uh the Sabers.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
No, Marcel, go ahead, Marcel, final guests Mark.

Speaker 10 (30:00):
So the fire no No, I thought he got it.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
That was a good guy.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
I think Midwest, how about that Upper Midwest?

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Midwest should have got that.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Good job, Marcel.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
I see I said Coop would win just like the
Florida Panthers. I'm right.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, you're wrong about the game tonight, But good job,
blind squirrels. Not everyone's I thank you. We don't have
time for food picks more so? That was much more fun.
Do we have time for one more quick?

Speaker 3 (30:33):
It's a serious hockey question though, Wow, big night for me.
What I'm the guy to start the show with hockey.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
So you've been this whole time.

Speaker 11 (30:42):
You've been adamant that the Panthers are the better team,
they're gonna win, blah blah blah. Is hockey different in
the sense that, like, because you've been adamant about it
and isn't not true that the two best players in
the finals are on the Oilers.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
That's correct, that is correct?

Speaker 1 (30:58):
So why are you so certain?

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Like?

Speaker 7 (31:00):
I mean, I think Florida had the better overall team.
They had board depth, they had a better goaltender.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Is not like like basketball.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
It's not like basketball.

Speaker 7 (31:09):
Okay, like the best player on the ice wall usually
only play a third of the game.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
It's more like they can't just like take over and
win the game like Connor McDavid.

Speaker 7 (31:18):
Is about as close as you can get to that.
But you typically they play a key part for sure.
All right, But just because you have the best player
doesn't mean you're gonna have the best team.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
It's like baseball, where you can see team the best
team doesn't win. Otherwise the Dodgers would have ten championships
right now the last decade, but they don't. You know,
that's fine, that happens. Hey, are you tired of feeling

Here we go, fun fun fun fun fact. The goaltender
who is from Edmonton? You talk about a chicken soup
for the sole story. The kid from Edmonton can lead
his hometown club to the Stanley Cup Championship tonight. Stuart

(32:07):
Skinner is the guy's name now. In Game six, a
game that Eddie said the Panthers would win, Stuart Skinner
faced twenty one shots against. He had twenty saves as
a nine to fifty two save percentage. The much maligned
Stuart Skinner in the last three games has a nine
to forty two save percentage. He has outplayed Sergey Mabrovski

(32:30):
in every one of those games. Every one of those games. Hello,
Mark in Boston.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
What's going on?

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Mark?

Speaker 9 (32:40):
Hey? Ben?

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yet?

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Its Mark in Red Sox, the Yankees fan from Boston.

Speaker 9 (32:43):
Actually, first off, I just want to say I would
never roof for a Canadian team against the United States
team for the Cup. But although Edmonton has beaten my
bruins twice in the finals, I'm.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Going with you, Ben, yeh see that? Look at it.
Jesus patriotic as mad.

Speaker 9 (33:00):
Here we go, Here we go.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
He just contradicted himself.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
He said he would never.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
This isn't never never.

Speaker 9 (33:07):
Never.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Let me inter it with Mark. What you mean, Mark?

Speaker 3 (33:10):
This is the exception of the rule, right.

Speaker 9 (33:11):
Mark, Yes, I'm gonna tell you right now, Ben, the
Florida Panthers do not deserve to win.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
That's right, Eddie. They why not? Why do they not explain?
Tell Eddie Wise.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
Should be good.

Speaker 9 (33:23):
I don't like their coach, Canadian.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
You should like him.

Speaker 9 (33:29):
They got away with a lot of boat craps.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
All Ye, he's mad because they beat the Bruins two
years in a row.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Well that's a good enough reason for me. You know what,
I stay with I stand with the Bruin fan, Marked it.
I stand with you, Mark. I'm actually sitting, but I
sit with you.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Mark.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
I agree. Down, go the Panthers.

Speaker 10 (33:44):
We're gonna witness the ultimate choke job in NHL history.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
And the crowning.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
It's on the Connor McDavid's already a legend. A lot
of people love him.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
But you come back. You're the guy that leads a
team back from three games down in the Stanley Cup Final.
You you're in the book of legends at that point.

Speaker 9 (34:00):
Well, Ben, honestly, I believe the far and the Panthers
punched themselves out. I think they could have sustained that
style of play against the power. I was like the
admits of oilists.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Yeah, all right, well we'll watch the I and then
we'll mock Addy after the game. Okay, already, all right,
thank you, I'll go away. That's that mark, so real quick.
And we do need some contestants. We're gonna have Malard
Militia feud. But in Vegas and then also in Wall Street.
They say, get that dumb money. Well, the Raiders are like, hey,
we want some of that dumb money. So they've unveiled

(34:30):
recently a new luxury tailgate spot at Allegiance Stadium. One game.
How much does it cost one game? The report says
the Raiders tailgating here. You can accommodate up to twenty
people and includes all inclusive food and drink packages for
the small fee of.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
Ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Twenty thousand dollars per game.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
That's reasonable, Yes, let's bring some friends.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Twenty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
They say.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
It's climate controlled, two story structure, features a room for fifteen.
All inclusive packages start at twenty thousand dollars. And I'm
looking at it, it's just like.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
A corner of the parking lot.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
They just put this this ramshackle thing up in the
corner of the parking lot and slap the Raider logo
all over it and they're gonna chearge twenty thousand dollars.
Oh my god. So anybody goes to a Raiders game
this year, you walk by that and you point and
laugh that those people spent twenty thousand dollars to go.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Anyway, all right, and you know what, I bet you
they sell it out for the whole the whole season
we sold.
