Speaker 1 (00:00):
Filipbuster time. It's our dumber four hour four ready to go,
And here we go with our number four, the Ben
Mal Show, as we parsed the words of Troy Aikman
saying that Jerry Jones cowboys have prioritized the spotlight over winning. Also,
do you believe the Patriots version of Stefan Diggs is
(00:20):
anything different from the previous versions? He says that he's
changed his ways there in New England. And do you
feel bad for Bears quarterback Caleb Williams being criticized on
social media. A member of the Detroit Lions actually said
he felt bad for Caleb Williams. We'll take a look
at that and more right.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Now here it is our number four.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It is not.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
The men of Troy, It is the mind of Troy.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That's the story.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
We are in.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
The air emywhere Chin wagon as we have a blender
full of bad ideas coast coast, splortter the border and
beyond on the vast end.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Extravagantly powerful microphones of fs are am monating live from
the experience, the learning experience the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by tapped in Tommy who knows
that For over forty years, tire Rack has been helping
customers find the right tires for how, what and where
(01:38):
they drive, ship fast and free, backed by free road
hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
Mister nice Guy signs off on that, so does Mark
the full name guy tire rack dot com The Way
Tire Buying showb So our lead this hour is from
(01:59):
Dallas where her former Fox broadcaster turned Fox Broadcasting refugee
Troy Aikman, who's been an NFL broadcaster a lot longer
than he played in the NFL. Troy Aikman has he's
decided he wanted to enter the conversation on the Cowboys,
(02:20):
his former team, so he has chummed in on this
Cowboy conversation the approach of his former team did an
interview this week. I just saw this or not, perhaps not.
I thought it was mildly interesting. Mildly interesting. So Troy
Aikman called out the Cowboys owner. That's the headline. Aikman
(02:41):
calls out Jerry Jones. Big headline.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
There, oh man, some juicy stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So Aikman, according to the quote the money quote said
that Jerry Jones is prioritizing attention.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Over winning.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
He said, quote if people aren't talking about the Cowboys,
then he'll do things to stir it up. Jerry has
given the impression that supersedes winning, that that supersedes winning.
So let us discuss the question. Can you parse the words?
Parse the words of Troy Aikman saying that Jerry Jones
(03:17):
has prioritized the spotlight over winning.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
All right, So I've got.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Fruit loops, bull Durham, and Arctic white and we'll combine
all of these things together and we'll say, where's the
beef or where's the gobba ghoul?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Is what we'll say. So to lead off here, you
might not know this about me. You think I'm just
an overnight guy. I might not be that big a deal.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
But I'm a senior fellow at the Malar Institute of
fact Checkers. And I looked over what Troy Aikman had
to say, no lies detected. And remember that I'm not
just some DABBRONI I'm a senior fellow at the Malar
Institute of fact Checkers. So no lies detected. That is
straight up accurate. Now, what Troy Aikman was doing here
(04:06):
was he was doing some cosplay as the mascot of
fruit Loops to can Sam. He was parroting Troy Aikman
was parroting back what Jerry Jones said. So these headlines
are misleading is the word I will use. Their misleading
because Aikman just weaponized what Jerry Jones has said. He
(04:27):
didn't add gasoline onto the fire. He's merely parroting back
what Jerry himself has been saying for decades. Follow the rainbow, right,
Only the rainbow in this case is the currency of
clicks and attention. It's not about the trophy. So it
(04:49):
just depends how you want to measure success. Right, do
you want to measure success on the Lombardi trophies. Jerry
Jones has been a magician with the Golden Top hat
at He's able in all of magic. I used to
when I was a kid, and I used to go
to Disneyland to Fairmount live near Disneyland, and my mom
would take me, and I always loved the magic shop
(05:11):
on Main Street. They had a little magic shop and
I go in there and I was always amazed. I
was mesmerized by the magic. And then at some point
I learned what magic really is. It's all about distraction,
right that you with the left hand. With the left
hand you do something and then the right hand is juggling.
You know, a billion dollar deal if you're Jerry, but
(05:33):
you're doing they're doing the trick with the left hand.
So he's not always about the x's and o's. Obviously,
it's about the oh wow, did you see that about
the cowboys? Man, But the formula, it's kind of like
the in and out Burger. They there's a cheeseburgers, fries.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Limited menu. They got shakes and not much else, not
much else. And in Jerry's formula, he is richer than
a king. Troy Aikman can't understand, like Aikman is not
gonna unload on the Dallas Cowboys because he has a home.
I know he lives in like Santa Barber or something
like that, but he's got a home in Dallas. He's
probably had a lot of homes. He made a lot
(06:13):
of money, so he's got a residence in the Dallas area.
He's in the bubble of trust in Jerry's world. So
once you're in the bubble of trust, you don't destroy
the house. You don't destroy us because that you don't
call attention to it, because that's where you are.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So all Aikman did.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
He was very measured, but he just parroted what Jerry
Jones had said, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Furthermore, we go to New England where Patriots wide receiver
Stefawn Diggs ended his training camp silence.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I have no idea how I lived an entire month
of training camp without hearing the wisdom of Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No idea I made it somehow. You know, you get
some of that pink powder or whatever, the.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Pink candy anyway, Stefan Diggs. Yeah, he addressed reports that
he is becoming a bit of a pain in the posterior.
Somebody in the Boston media said becoming a bit of
a pain in the posteria during training camp for the Patriots.
Now he says, Stefon Diggs that he is not trying
to be a pain in the ass. The badonka donc
(07:24):
He apologized. He said he wants a quote fresh start.
That's a quote with the media.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Question, do you believe the well traveled Stephan Dicks, the
Patriots version of Stefan Diggs, is going to be any
different from the previous vintages of Stefan Diggs. All Right,
So I wrote down on my scorecard, l oc load
(07:57):
of crap is what I wrote down. This was straight
out of the Nuke La Loosh playbook. That's an old
baseball movie. It's an old baseball movie called Bull Durham
back in the day. Right, it's out of the Nuke
l Looshe playbook. You learn your cliches, You smile, you
repeat after me, I'm an adult. I don't want to
(08:19):
rub anybody the wrong way. Translation. Some pr people who
I have under my payroll gave me some note cards
and told me to smile to the Camus. And it's
kind of like a house.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
You look at the house and then the outside it
looks pretty good, and you do a home inspection and
you find out that it's got some serious problems.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
The house, the underneath part of the house all messed up.
So you can repaint that house really nice.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Got some really expensive paint solid paint job, well done,
good good handyman work there paint the house and the
foundation still cracked. Like this is not a fixer upper situation.
Stefan Diggs has shown us who he is. He was
a problem in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Check. He was a problem in Buffalo. Check. Check.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
He was a problem in Houston, although not quite as much.
But they didn't have any problem getting rid of him
after a very short time with the Texans. That tells
you they were in love with the player. And now
we're supposed to believe that he's going to be a
choir boy in Foxborough. Come on now, seriously, Like Diggs
is contaminated with Devo wide receiver Centro. Now that doesn't
(09:35):
mean that he won't score some touchdowns and make some
plays and all that, but you got to understand that's
part of his DNA.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's part of the furniture. You don't change that.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
If Drake may is not giving him the ball enough,
forcing the ball into Stefon Diggs, whether it happens this
weekend against the Raiders or whether it happens in week
four or week five, at some point he is going
to lose his mind. I'm just telling you it's going
to be an apoplectic rage from Stefan Diggs. Now he
(10:06):
might get lucky. Maybe it's a passive aggressive rage, but
it's going to be a range. We're talking about a
guy who's going to eat lightning and crap thunder.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
He's going to be that upset.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And you watch the events that have gone like this apology,
it's kind of like putting a band.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Aid on after you've been hit with a bazuka.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It's just you know, that's not so good. Now the
same Stefon Diggs. The laundry has changed. The laundry has changed.
You can put him in red, white and blue, slap
that iconic pat patriot squatting down to take a dump
on the side of the helmet right there, and march
him out on the.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Field that you led.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
However, he's still going to be the same guy who
melts down, down, down, down, down, down, down down the
very second that he doesn't get the ball, because I
believe that's baked in. The only question is when not
if this thing blows up, And I gotta tell you,
as a talk show host, I'm there for it.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I'm in.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I know I'm gonna get at least two or three monologues.
It's a tradition. Every team he plays for, it's Stefon
Diggs blow up week. My favorite part is when the
fanboys call up and they rant and rave about how.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
You're just a media hater. You don't know what you're
talking about. Steffon Diggs is a good guy. You schmuck.
I had these battles. We just to have this guy.
He quit the show.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Andy the comic book guy used to be a contributor,
but he left the show. But Andy would call up
part of Bill's mafia and oh, you know what you're
talking about? Every story that was out there about Diggs, Oh,
that's just fake, that's media hate. People hate the Bills.
Turned out everything was right. In fact, there was more
that we didn't even know about, but everything was right. Uh,
(11:48):
that's probably why he stopped calling all right, last thing
to the micro blogging world we go where Lions star
wide receiver I'm on Ross Saint Bront fans on social
media randomly for criticism.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Of was it was it Jared Goff? No? Was it
Dan Campbell?
Speaker 5 (12:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Was it anyone in the Lions locker room?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I'm on Ross Saint Brown called out fans on social
media for criticizing Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. He feels
it's unwarranted, according to the Saint Brown. He said, no
matter what he does talking about the Bears quarterback, good
or bad, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
All on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I swear he can't breathe he takes one step wrong.
They say Caleb did this, this, this like bro, I'm
on ross, Saint Brown said.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
They don't just let it be. That's a Beatles song.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I feel bad sometimes, Saint Brown said during his podcast,
which no one listens to. So do you feel bad?
Do you feel bad for Bears quarterback Caleb Williams being
criticized on social media. My response here boo freaking who
and whooped the damn do?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Right? Uh? You were last I checked the number one
over under line.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You're supposed to be the face of the franchise. You're
in one of the great cities in America. Although there's
some things that could be better there in Chicago, right,
and this isn't a some kind of yoga retreat in Malibu.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
You got hard working, blue collar good union men like
our buddy Tree there in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
He does not want to hear.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Uh, you know the the nonsense stories about Caleb Williams. Right,
you will just shut up, go out and get another
but just in general, like this whole mindset.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Oh they're too hard on all. Shut up.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's the NFL. You get the praise, you get the heat.
It's hardwired into the job destriction description.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And that's kind of how it works. And you're you're in.
You know the spotlight. You want the spotlight.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Well, sometimes in the spotlight you get a sunburn, So
put some suntan lotion on, like our friend the Leprechaun.
It's not unfair, it is inevitable. Caleb Williams is quirky.
He's got painted nails, and even though there are other
players that have painted nails, it is still not normal
in the NFL that he got even though he didn't
live in La more than a couple of years. At SC,
(14:18):
He's got that little Hollywood ore because he did do
time at SC. The whole package, and and that's fine.
But don't act shocked. Do not act shocked when the
critics come at.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You with a butcher knife. It's part of the deal.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
It's like buying in Arctic white Corvette convertible and then
complaining because it's windy when you're driving the convertible. Hello,
you wanted the ride, You deal with the breeze. That's
how it works. And Caleb Williams, who is flamboyant, he
has offbeat whatever words you want to use there, you
take the good with the bad. You don't get the cherry,
(14:53):
pick the perks and opt out of this other thing here.
And so it's not like he's getting crucified for nothing.
Williams was a mediocre quarterback as a rookie. He's unorthodox.
You've tossed that on.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, there's talent there, Sure there's talent.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
He's got a lot of quirks, and quirks get magnified.
That's how it's always been, even before social media. And
it's not so much hate, although there is that on
there as well. It's just kind of the cost of
doing business. And my position continues to be when it
comes to social media.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's not real.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
It's a carnival of mirrors and a lot of emotionally
unstable things.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Going on sway it is, and you don't know what's
real and what's not. It is the matrix, right.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
You think you're arguing with the person, but you're not
really arguing with the person because that's a bot. But
you didn't realize it was a bot because you're using
AI and AI seems like a human being, but it's
actually a bot, or maybe it's a dummy account or
there's a burner profile, but it's actually some marketing intern
trying to get engagement up and they're working on the metrics,
the analytics so they can make more money and pillage
(15:59):
some businesses and whatnot, and so options you can go
to digital detox, you can get out of the digital sewer,
or you can have someone else run your social media accounts.
Like I get a lot of crap doing the Opennight show.
I'm not on social media during the day. I'll sometimes
pop on to post something to promote, you know, like
I'm doing Benny Versus the Penny now on YouTube, So
(16:21):
I'll get on there during the day and I'll send
out something to promote that to let people know about it.
But I'm not sitting there futzing around right and engaging.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I'm not hanging out in the sewer, whether it's a
digital sewer or a real sewer. I'm not doing that,
and you're not really missing anything. You're not. So it

back to it we go and mentioned Benny Versus the
(20:09):
Penny and there's actually a video up right now on
that page.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
You want to get my pick on.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
The Cowboy Eagle game and also the game on Friday
between the Chiefs and that game in Brazil as they
take on the Chargers. Because you think AFC West football,
you think of San Polo, certainly I do.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I don't know about you, but I do.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
So I was looking on the DraftKings sportsbook app, just
kind of futzing around there, and they have touchdown scores.
Now there's a couple of ways you can do it.
There's a couple of ways you can do it. You
can do first touchdown score, which is and I have
a buddy of mine that does that first touchdown scores,
and so what that is is your screaming profanity at
(20:50):
everyone while watching the game that they don't score other
than the player that you bet to score. So there's
that option, right, and you get really good odds on that.
At DraftKings there's the anytime touchdown scorer and then there's
the two touchdown scorer. Now for me, looking at the
props there, Jalen Hurts, I would go Jalen Hurts on
(21:13):
a tushy pushy touchdown that is minus one forty five.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
So that's what I would do.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
According to the DraftKings sportsbook, the odds are subject change,
but check that out. It's kind of a fun thing
watching the game and you can pick one of those options.
You can parlay those things together, and in my experience,
it enhances the experience, certainly, it expances it more.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
It enhances it more when you win. But that's that's true.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
But the Eagles, they get down there, they always seem
to run the tush push two or three times a
game and you get down to the goal line. I
just have I'm a distant relative of Nostradama's friend of Nostrodinas,
and I see see that happening.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
There was that? All right, we'll take some calls here.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
It is a call in show at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox but also on the ex Machine,
if you'd like to be part. And the Late Night
Drug Tester says professional athletes that need help navigating the
rough social media sees who just hire Benny Award winners
Berg Dog, Justin and Cincinnati and Alf the Alien opiner. Absolutely,
(22:17):
oh yeah, absolutely super, Marcus Steve writes, and he says,
I put it up to you, Ben, I will set
up an account under your name for DraftKings with one
hundred dollars in it for twenty weeks of picks in
the Malord Militia League. I don't really care about the
one hundred dollars. It's worth it for the chance to
try to beat you every single week. Okay, that's fine.
(22:40):
You'll get your ass kicked and then you'll disappear like
every other loser.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
That's fine. Yeah, And what else do we? Oh? No,
what is happening? Ben? What I mean?
Speaker 6 (22:55):
He drops you?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
The gremlins attacked? They did?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Really?
Speaker 7 (22:58):
We lost you for like two point five second.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
All right, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Okay, you are not allowed to leave yet. I mean
I could leave if you want to. No, No, all right,
alf the aline.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Oh there goes another nap.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
You're too hard on Stefan Diggs. Don't be a hater.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
He because he's enlightened since the he partook in the
pink ayahuasca?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
What was that was not? What was that? Lorna? You
know what drug that was? That was not? Iowa to C?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
What was it called to C to C?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah? Like t U S S I E.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
I do believe tussy tussy t u s I but.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, and I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
But Troy writes and says, the Texans had no issues
with Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
He was doing well until his injury. There were rumors.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That would try to get him back. They would trying
to get him back with the Patch, paid him, paid
him a back. I disagree, Troy. If that was a
good relationship between the Texans and Diggs, they would have
done everything they could to bring him back because he
was a valuable part of the team. They didn't do that.
They were fine with him leaving. He was not high
up on the pecking order. That's just the way it is.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
We'll say hello to Hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Hello, Hollering James.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Did he believe Hollering James is lasted? All evening was
new and I got a take?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I'd like to alert all the affiliates that Hollering James,
for the first time in twenty years calling my show
has a take.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Go ahead, James.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Stefan Diggs hasn't been real good since that magnificent miracle
when they played the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
That is your hot take of the night.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Congratulations, hollering James, you get the take of the night first.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Then is that a golden tat? Is that a golden ticket?
Because if it is, it's going straight miss miss Montana.
That should be miss ye.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
All right, alright, alright, yes, Tammy, Actually, calm down, Tammy.
And Montana actually has a house in Montana made out of.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Golden tickets, the little bricks of gold. It's amazing.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Okay, I wish I could visit that house. I bet
it's more of a wallpaper than actual bricks, is it really?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
You know?
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Lorena?
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Just all right, okay, talk to Lorena.
Speaker 5 (25:33):

the show. How dare you?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
You are the star of this show? Man? And do
you want why? Ben? Because we love your show?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Heads about to bleed here, that's right.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Hey, Well, I'm so glad you stayed on hold the
entire show for that phone call. You're literally people are
driving off the road, they're falling a slip.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I would like to hear Josh's song at Holler and James,
thirty two pills in the morning, thirty two pills that
night you screwed up. You screwed up.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You screwed up your own song, James. It's not thirty
two pills, James. It's about it's a bad job.

I'm serious like I thought it was thirty six. Here

just joab even month. Yeah, thirty six, thirty six bills
that night, A month to do? Are you down to
thirty two pills?
Speaker 5 (26:56):
James?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Because if that's the case, we're gonna have to stop.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Playing the song. It's a it's an old song. I thought, well,
you said, all right, I gotta go thank you? All right?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
That set the sign I'm doing them. Let's go to
let's see here. Blind Scott is on the north end
of Boston. Hello, blind Scott.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Where the white women at?
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
Yeah, so up here in the northeast, Loraina. When you
come to the blind Scott Meet and greet in October,
you know wherever they're going to decide to host it.
I can't wait to meet the fans. The people here
are so ugly, Loraina, You're going to be surprised how
good you look next to all these people they're known
for not.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Being that's a that's a bad for you. You're blind, Scott.
How do you know how anyone looks?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
You're blind?
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Most of the good book of people and boughts that
are from New Jersey, they're like transplants. Nobody wants to
live around here. It's really cold, you know, it's it's expensive,
by the way.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
You know, man, I've seen when I've been to Boston,
I've seen good looking people. There's a lot of college people.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
That go there. They're usually good looking college.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
At the meet and Greek. They're not going to be
at the meet and.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Greek definitely not of the meat. We'll have ugly people
to meet, but that's fine. Those are my people.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
You know Tony Kunigliereio, Tony c he's friends of my family.
He got my mom into college, you know. And then
you know Fred Smirlers. I got kicked off the show.
It's called the Fred Smirla show. It was on the
other station. So like back in the day, I rode
my bike to like a Fred Smirlers live radio remote,
and they like were so put off by like a
(28:23):
kid trying to participate in the show. That that's why
I never could figure out why you met kids participate
in the show. But then we ran into Steve Geosti.
This is going back to that guy beast his phone
call in the second hout. He's from Rhode Island.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Obviously that guy he we me.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
And my dad, he just runs the marathon. Right, we
run into Steve Diosti. Right, my dad confronts Steve Diosti
and tells him that he's a complete fraud and he
should have never ran in the Boston Marathon because you
know how they get the numbers, Someone just gets them
to him and you have to like qualify it out boolly.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
I live next to the airport.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
So why used to have to call these shows up
to wait on hold the whole show? So to drive
I fell crazy? Like he had to make up this
rule we could only call two times and one night
because I try to stay on hold the whole night,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
One thing about Most radio stations used to have those rules,
but nobody takes calls anymore, so they don't really care
about the rules anymore because they don't take calls.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Yeah, because they're trying to sell advertising, so they're trying
to fill every segment with paid guests for advertisers. But
like even Mario Lopez, you know that. Okay, he does
a radio show now. It's pretty good. It's on in
La Are they in the same building as you always
want to?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I think he tapes that during the day, so I
never see him, but he has a recording.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
On there right now. He has some good content on
there right now. Because it appeaces to people driving their
kids back and forth from school, it seems like the
highest radio ratings gets, it's just soccer moms sitting in
their cards, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, I'm doing very well with soccer moms. All right,
I got to thank you. You're droning on.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Let's salo to Danny Vito, America's favorite trash man. Hello,
Danny DeVito, welcome, miss Samelaay, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Danny?
Speaker 8 (30:10):
Friends of what two hours? Miss?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Oh my god, you're complaining.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I don't know you're complaining now now I don't know
that we're friends anymore.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
Well, it isn't a broad because, uh, you know, I'm
cleaning up the wonderful city of Boston. So I was
busy doing all the things.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
But how's the how's the trash smell today?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Everything's smelling good there.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
It's actually smells better than it once to get. There's
a little bit colder out here now it's a little
chilling the here the first time of Boston. Then I
think you know that you've been over here the year.
The weather it isn't that cold, isn't that hot. It's
a great time of the year. And for the next
six months every Sunday, Ben, we got some money making
it do right.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Benny versus the pennace on YouTube now, But we'll see
I lost to the penny last year. I will not
lose back to back. It'll be a winning year versus
the penny. And it starts tonight.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
I gotta take your picks, maybe because I know a
lott it wasn't that good. Wasn't that good of a
year for your lot?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Well, no, it was not.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Well.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
The penny didn't do good either, by the way, A
little better than me. Yeah, so check that Out's on
the YouTube Benny vs. Penny.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
There's a new channel. We just started it.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
There's two people following it, but we need to get
those numbers up.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
And so I'll give.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Every pick and uh, we'll throw some other things in
there and there'll be a new episode dropping later today
on that channel.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
So I'm excited.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
I'll I'll see if I can check it out. And uh,
one one last thing is a super Bowl pick. I'm
gonna give it to you now, uh, Benn Aer right
before the week one starts here tonight. It's gonna be
the Baltimore Ravens against the Atlanta Falcons. That's gonna be
in the Super Bowl this year. Well, Mas Jackson, finally
the hump.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
There's no chance of the Atlanta Falcons. The Avana Falcons are
not going to the Super.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
The Atlanta is gonna be there because that rookie quarterback
is going to be a player, I'm telling you, is
not a He's not a rookie anymore.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Michael Pennix Junior.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
But yeah, I'll tell you what if they if they
win the Super Bowl, if they get to the super Bowl,
the Falcons, I'll have you a host an hour of
the show.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Ah, all right, I.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Gotta go thank you, good luck. Now you're doing God's
work we need. If we didn't have trash Man, we'd
be totally scre Trash would be piling up every We'd
be like Manhattan.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Can I address that real quick? I feel like he's
not I mean like he he went a little bit overboard,
But he's not the only one that I've seen hyping
up the Falcons this season.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
What is that about? Did I miss something?
Speaker 6 (32:35):
Because I'm pretty sure we saw Michael Pennix Junior start
a few games last season and it's not like he
like blew the doors out off the place, like what.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
No, no, no, And uh their coach I'm not a
big fan of you know, he's He's like an average coach.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Raheem Morris is nothing. I don't get the Falcons hype.
I just don't get it.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Well, you know, everyone wants to get that new surprise team,
not the usual suspects.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
This is easy to pick. I'm gonna pick Kansas City
get the super Bowl. Well they always get to the
super Bowl, so okay, but if you.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Want to stand out, you got to pick that that
surprised team.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
You stand out there. So anyway, it is the Ben
Mather Show. As we are rolling on.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
How about this Mark Davis who owns the Raiders because
his dad had a lot of.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Money and died and then he ended up owning the team.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
So Mark Davis did an interview this week and said
that Tom Brady was supposed to be on the Raiders
back in twenty twenty. Mark Davis said, quote, he meaning
Brady was close to wanting to come here, but the
coach and general manager decided they wanted to go in
a different direction, so we didn't sign him.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
That seems like.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
A rather big quote to me. Yeah, it seems like
a rather big quote to me. We go back to
the year twenty twenty and the Raiders. The brains are
the Raiders at that time.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Who were they?
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Well, you had John Gruden was the coach of the
Raiders and kind of the GM. So you tell me
John Gruden did not want Tom Brady on the on
the Raiders. Doesn't John Gruden like lick the toes of
Tom Brady? That's what Mark Davis said. All right, we'll

Big time owner Shaquille O'Neill dipping his toes in just
about every business possible since he retired.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Well this week, Shack launched.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
A signature cologne which will be sold exclusively at J. C. Penny,
which apparently is still in business. And it's a mix
of woody amber, musk, a bunch of other stuff you've
never heard of in grapefruit all right. Story number two.
The tar Hills may have been blown out in their
first game under Bill Belichick, but that does not stop
(37:41):
jerseys from flying off the digital shelves.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
That was reported this week.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
The top selling jersey at the official online store of
North Carolina is actually a custom jersey with the name
Jordan on it. Do they know he's not playing anymore?
And story number three, Anthony Rizzo's part of the Cubs
team that broke the Curse of the Billy Goat Back
in twenty sixteen, Rizzo almost lost his championship ring at.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
The bottom of Lake Michigan. Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
An experienced scuba divere it makes a living by helping
people retrieve items lost in Lake Michigan and revealed that
in an interview this week that Rizzo has been the
most famous client.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
How about that go to the bottom of Lake Michigan.
That's wild. All right?
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Those are the stories. Which of the three is not true?
We'll start with Mike Milkman, Mike one, two or three Milkman.

the Michael Jordan. Sorry that was the fake one.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
M
Filipbuster time. It's our dumber four hour four ready to go,
And here we go with our number four, the Ben
Mal Show, as we parsed the words of Troy Aikman
saying that Jerry Jones cowboys have prioritized the spotlight over winning. Also,
do you believe the Patriots version of Stefan Diggs is
(00:20):
anything different from the previous versions? He says that he's
changed his ways there in New England. And do you
feel bad for Bears quarterback Caleb Williams being criticized on
social media. A member of the Detroit Lions actually said
he felt bad for Caleb Williams. We'll take a look
at that and more right.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Now here it is our number four.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It is not.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
The men of Troy, It is the mind of Troy.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That's the story.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
We are in.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
The air emywhere Chin wagon as we have a blender
full of bad ideas coast coast, splortter the border and
beyond on the vast end.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Extravagantly powerful microphones of fs are am monating live from
the experience, the learning experience the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by tapped in Tommy who knows
that For over forty years, tire Rack has been helping
customers find the right tires for how, what and where
(01:38):
they drive, ship fast and free, backed by free road
hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
Mister nice Guy signs off on that, so does Mark
the full name guy tire rack dot com The Way
Tire Buying showb So our lead this hour is from
(01:59):
Dallas where her former Fox broadcaster turned Fox Broadcasting refugee
Troy Aikman, who's been an NFL broadcaster a lot longer
than he played in the NFL. Troy Aikman has he's
decided he wanted to enter the conversation on the Cowboys,
(02:20):
his former team, so he has chummed in on this
Cowboy conversation the approach of his former team did an
interview this week. I just saw this or not, perhaps not.
I thought it was mildly interesting. Mildly interesting. So Troy
Aikman called out the Cowboys owner. That's the headline. Aikman
(02:41):
calls out Jerry Jones. Big headline.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
There, oh man, some juicy stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So Aikman, according to the quote the money quote said
that Jerry Jones is prioritizing attention.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Over winning.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
He said, quote if people aren't talking about the Cowboys,
then he'll do things to stir it up. Jerry has
given the impression that supersedes winning, that that supersedes winning.
So let us discuss the question. Can you parse the words?
Parse the words of Troy Aikman saying that Jerry Jones
(03:17):
has prioritized the spotlight over winning.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
All right, So I've got.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Fruit loops, bull Durham, and Arctic white and we'll combine
all of these things together and we'll say, where's the
beef or where's the gobba ghoul?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Is what we'll say. So to lead off here, you
might not know this about me. You think I'm just
an overnight guy. I might not be that big a deal.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
But I'm a senior fellow at the Malar Institute of
fact Checkers. And I looked over what Troy Aikman had
to say, no lies detected. And remember that I'm not
just some DABBRONI I'm a senior fellow at the Malar
Institute of fact Checkers. So no lies detected. That is
straight up accurate. Now, what Troy Aikman was doing here
(04:06):
was he was doing some cosplay as the mascot of
fruit Loops to can Sam. He was parroting Troy Aikman
was parroting back what Jerry Jones said. So these headlines
are misleading is the word I will use. Their misleading
because Aikman just weaponized what Jerry Jones has said. He
(04:27):
didn't add gasoline onto the fire. He's merely parroting back
what Jerry himself has been saying for decades. Follow the rainbow, right,
Only the rainbow in this case is the currency of
clicks and attention. It's not about the trophy. So it
(04:49):
just depends how you want to measure success. Right, do
you want to measure success on the Lombardi trophies. Jerry
Jones has been a magician with the Golden Top hat
at He's able in all of magic. I used to
when I was a kid, and I used to go
to Disneyland to Fairmount live near Disneyland, and my mom
would take me, and I always loved the magic shop
(05:11):
on Main Street. They had a little magic shop and
I go in there and I was always amazed. I
was mesmerized by the magic. And then at some point
I learned what magic really is. It's all about distraction,
right that you with the left hand. With the left
hand you do something and then the right hand is juggling.
You know, a billion dollar deal if you're Jerry, but
(05:33):
you're doing they're doing the trick with the left hand.
So he's not always about the x's and o's. Obviously,
it's about the oh wow, did you see that about
the cowboys? Man, But the formula, it's kind of like
the in and out Burger. They there's a cheeseburgers, fries.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Limited menu. They got shakes and not much else, not
much else. And in Jerry's formula, he is richer than
a king. Troy Aikman can't understand, like Aikman is not
gonna unload on the Dallas Cowboys because he has a home.
I know he lives in like Santa Barber or something
like that, but he's got a home in Dallas. He's
probably had a lot of homes. He made a lot
(06:13):
of money, so he's got a residence in the Dallas area.
He's in the bubble of trust in Jerry's world. So
once you're in the bubble of trust, you don't destroy
the house. You don't destroy us because that you don't
call attention to it, because that's where you are.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So all Aikman did.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
He was very measured, but he just parroted what Jerry
Jones had said, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Furthermore, we go to New England where Patriots wide receiver
Stefawn Diggs ended his training camp silence.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I have no idea how I lived an entire month
of training camp without hearing the wisdom of Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No idea I made it somehow. You know, you get
some of that pink powder or whatever, the.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Pink candy anyway, Stefan Diggs. Yeah, he addressed reports that
he is becoming a bit of a pain in the posterior.
Somebody in the Boston media said becoming a bit of
a pain in the posteria during training camp for the Patriots.
Now he says, Stefon Diggs that he is not trying
to be a pain in the ass. The badonka donc
(07:24):
He apologized. He said he wants a quote fresh start.
That's a quote with the media.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Question, do you believe the well traveled Stephan Dicks, the
Patriots version of Stefan Diggs, is going to be any
different from the previous vintages of Stefan Diggs. All Right,
So I wrote down on my scorecard, l oc load
(07:57):
of crap is what I wrote down. This was straight
out of the Nuke La Loosh playbook. That's an old
baseball movie. It's an old baseball movie called Bull Durham
back in the day. Right, it's out of the Nuke
l Looshe playbook. You learn your cliches, You smile, you
repeat after me, I'm an adult. I don't want to
(08:19):
rub anybody the wrong way. Translation. Some pr people who
I have under my payroll gave me some note cards
and told me to smile to the Camus. And it's
kind of like a house.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
You look at the house and then the outside it
looks pretty good, and you do a home inspection and
you find out that it's got some serious problems.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
The house, the underneath part of the house all messed up.
So you can repaint that house really nice.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Got some really expensive paint solid paint job, well done,
good good handyman work there paint the house and the
foundation still cracked. Like this is not a fixer upper situation.
Stefan Diggs has shown us who he is. He was
a problem in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Check. He was a problem in Buffalo. Check. Check.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
He was a problem in Houston, although not quite as much.
But they didn't have any problem getting rid of him
after a very short time with the Texans. That tells
you they were in love with the player. And now
we're supposed to believe that he's going to be a
choir boy in Foxborough. Come on now, seriously, Like Diggs
is contaminated with Devo wide receiver Centro. Now that doesn't
(09:35):
mean that he won't score some touchdowns and make some
plays and all that, but you got to understand that's
part of his DNA.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's part of the furniture. You don't change that.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
If Drake may is not giving him the ball enough,
forcing the ball into Stefon Diggs, whether it happens this
weekend against the Raiders or whether it happens in week
four or week five, at some point he is going
to lose his mind. I'm just telling you it's going
to be an apoplectic rage from Stefan Diggs. Now he
(10:06):
might get lucky. Maybe it's a passive aggressive rage, but
it's going to be a range. We're talking about a
guy who's going to eat lightning and crap thunder.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
He's going to be that upset.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And you watch the events that have gone like this apology,
it's kind of like putting a band.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Aid on after you've been hit with a bazuka.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It's just you know, that's not so good. Now the
same Stefon Diggs. The laundry has changed. The laundry has changed.
You can put him in red, white and blue, slap
that iconic pat patriot squatting down to take a dump
on the side of the helmet right there, and march
him out on the.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Field that you led.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
However, he's still going to be the same guy who
melts down, down, down, down, down, down, down down the
very second that he doesn't get the ball, because I
believe that's baked in. The only question is when not
if this thing blows up, And I gotta tell you,
as a talk show host, I'm there for it.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I'm in.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I know I'm gonna get at least two or three monologues.
It's a tradition. Every team he plays for, it's Stefon
Diggs blow up week. My favorite part is when the
fanboys call up and they rant and rave about how.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
You're just a media hater. You don't know what you're
talking about. Steffon Diggs is a good guy. You schmuck.
I had these battles. We just to have this guy.
He quit the show.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Andy the comic book guy used to be a contributor,
but he left the show. But Andy would call up
part of Bill's mafia and oh, you know what you're
talking about? Every story that was out there about Diggs, Oh,
that's just fake, that's media hate. People hate the Bills.
Turned out everything was right. In fact, there was more
that we didn't even know about, but everything was right. Uh,
(11:48):
that's probably why he stopped calling all right, last thing
to the micro blogging world we go where Lions star
wide receiver I'm on Ross Saint Bront fans on social
media randomly for criticism.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Of was it was it Jared Goff? No? Was it
Dan Campbell?
Speaker 5 (12:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Was it anyone in the Lions locker room?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I'm on Ross Saint Brown called out fans on social
media for criticizing Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. He feels
it's unwarranted, according to the Saint Brown. He said, no
matter what he does talking about the Bears quarterback, good
or bad, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
All on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I swear he can't breathe he takes one step wrong.
They say Caleb did this, this, this like bro, I'm
on ross, Saint Brown said.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
They don't just let it be. That's a Beatles song.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I feel bad sometimes, Saint Brown said during his podcast,
which no one listens to. So do you feel bad?
Do you feel bad for Bears quarterback Caleb Williams being
criticized on social media. My response here boo freaking who
and whooped the damn do?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Right? Uh? You were last I checked the number one
over under line.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You're supposed to be the face of the franchise. You're
in one of the great cities in America. Although there's
some things that could be better there in Chicago, right,
and this isn't a some kind of yoga retreat in Malibu.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
You got hard working, blue collar good union men like
our buddy Tree there in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
He does not want to hear.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Uh, you know the the nonsense stories about Caleb Williams. Right,
you will just shut up, go out and get another
but just in general, like this whole mindset.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Oh they're too hard on all. Shut up.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's the NFL. You get the praise, you get the heat.
It's hardwired into the job destriction description.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And that's kind of how it works. And you're you're in.
You know the spotlight. You want the spotlight.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Well, sometimes in the spotlight you get a sunburn, So
put some suntan lotion on, like our friend the Leprechaun.
It's not unfair, it is inevitable. Caleb Williams is quirky.
He's got painted nails, and even though there are other
players that have painted nails, it is still not normal
in the NFL that he got even though he didn't
live in La more than a couple of years. At SC,
(14:18):
He's got that little Hollywood ore because he did do
time at SC. The whole package, and and that's fine.
But don't act shocked. Do not act shocked when the
critics come at.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You with a butcher knife. It's part of the deal.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
It's like buying in Arctic white Corvette convertible and then
complaining because it's windy when you're driving the convertible. Hello,
you wanted the ride, You deal with the breeze. That's
how it works. And Caleb Williams, who is flamboyant, he
has offbeat whatever words you want to use there, you
take the good with the bad. You don't get the cherry,
(14:53):
pick the perks and opt out of this other thing here.
And so it's not like he's getting crucified for nothing.
Williams was a mediocre quarterback as a rookie. He's unorthodox.
You've tossed that on.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, there's talent there, Sure there's talent.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
He's got a lot of quirks, and quirks get magnified.
That's how it's always been, even before social media. And
it's not so much hate, although there is that on
there as well. It's just kind of the cost of
doing business. And my position continues to be when it
comes to social media.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's not real.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
It's a carnival of mirrors and a lot of emotionally
unstable things.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Going on sway it is, and you don't know what's
real and what's not. It is the matrix, right.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
You think you're arguing with the person, but you're not
really arguing with the person because that's a bot. But
you didn't realize it was a bot because you're using
AI and AI seems like a human being, but it's
actually a bot, or maybe it's a dummy account or
there's a burner profile, but it's actually some marketing intern
trying to get engagement up and they're working on the metrics,
the analytics so they can make more money and pillage
(15:59):
some businesses and whatnot, and so options you can go
to digital detox, you can get out of the digital sewer,
or you can have someone else run your social media accounts.
Like I get a lot of crap doing the Opennight show.
I'm not on social media during the day. I'll sometimes
pop on to post something to promote, you know, like
I'm doing Benny Versus the Penny now on YouTube, So
(16:21):
I'll get on there during the day and I'll send
out something to promote that to let people know about it.
But I'm not sitting there futzing around right and engaging.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I'm not hanging out in the sewer, whether it's a
digital sewer or a real sewer. I'm not doing that,
and you're not really missing anything. You're not. So it
is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to

back to it we go and mentioned Benny Versus the
(20:09):
Penny and there's actually a video up right now on
that page.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
You want to get my pick on.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
The Cowboy Eagle game and also the game on Friday
between the Chiefs and that game in Brazil as they
take on the Chargers. Because you think AFC West football,
you think of San Polo, certainly I do.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I don't know about you, but I do.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
So I was looking on the DraftKings sportsbook app, just
kind of futzing around there, and they have touchdown scores.
Now there's a couple of ways you can do it.
There's a couple of ways you can do it. You
can do first touchdown score, which is and I have
a buddy of mine that does that first touchdown scores,
and so what that is is your screaming profanity at
(20:50):
everyone while watching the game that they don't score other
than the player that you bet to score. So there's
that option, right, and you get really good odds on that.
At DraftKings there's the anytime touchdown scorer and then there's
the two touchdown scorer. Now for me, looking at the
props there, Jalen Hurts, I would go Jalen Hurts on
(21:13):
a tushy pushy touchdown that is minus one forty five.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
So that's what I would do.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
According to the DraftKings sportsbook, the odds are subject change,
but check that out. It's kind of a fun thing
watching the game and you can pick one of those options.
You can parlay those things together, and in my experience,
it enhances the experience, certainly, it expances it more.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
It enhances it more when you win. But that's that's true.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
But the Eagles, they get down there, they always seem
to run the tush push two or three times a
game and you get down to the goal line. I
just have I'm a distant relative of Nostradama's friend of Nostrodinas,
and I see see that happening.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
There was that? All right, we'll take some calls here.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
It is a call in show at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox but also on the ex Machine,
if you'd like to be part. And the Late Night
Drug Tester says professional athletes that need help navigating the
rough social media sees who just hire Benny Award winners
Berg Dog, Justin and Cincinnati and Alf the Alien opiner. Absolutely,
(22:17):
oh yeah, absolutely super, Marcus Steve writes, and he says,
I put it up to you, Ben, I will set
up an account under your name for DraftKings with one
hundred dollars in it for twenty weeks of picks in
the Malord Militia League. I don't really care about the
one hundred dollars. It's worth it for the chance to
try to beat you every single week. Okay, that's fine.
(22:40):
You'll get your ass kicked and then you'll disappear like
every other loser.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
That's fine. Yeah, And what else do we? Oh? No,
what is happening? Ben? What I mean?
Speaker 6 (22:55):
He drops you?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
The gremlins attacked? They did?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Really?
Speaker 7 (22:58):
We lost you for like two point five second.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
All right, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Okay, you are not allowed to leave yet. I mean
I could leave if you want to. No, No, all right,
alf the aline.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Oh there goes another nap.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
You're too hard on Stefan Diggs. Don't be a hater.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
He because he's enlightened since the he partook in the
pink ayahuasca?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
What was that was not? What was that? Lorna? You
know what drug that was? That was not? Iowa to C?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
What was it called to C to C?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah? Like t U S S I E.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
I do believe tussy tussy t u s I but.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, and I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
But Troy writes and says, the Texans had no issues
with Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
He was doing well until his injury. There were rumors.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That would try to get him back. They would trying
to get him back with the Patch, paid him, paid
him a back. I disagree, Troy. If that was a
good relationship between the Texans and Diggs, they would have
done everything they could to bring him back because he
was a valuable part of the team. They didn't do that.
They were fine with him leaving. He was not high
up on the pecking order. That's just the way it is.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
We'll say hello to Hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Hello, Hollering James.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Did he believe Hollering James is lasted? All evening was
new and I got a take?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I'd like to alert all the affiliates that Hollering James,
for the first time in twenty years calling my show
has a take.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Go ahead, James.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Stefan Diggs hasn't been real good since that magnificent miracle
when they played the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
That is your hot take of the night.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Congratulations, hollering James, you get the take of the night first.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Then is that a golden tat? Is that a golden ticket?
Because if it is, it's going straight miss miss Montana.
That should be miss ye.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
All right, alright, alright, yes, Tammy, Actually, calm down, Tammy.
And Montana actually has a house in Montana made out of.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Golden tickets, the little bricks of gold. It's amazing.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Okay, I wish I could visit that house. I bet
it's more of a wallpaper than actual bricks, is it really?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
You know?
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Lorena?
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Just all right, okay, talk to Lorena.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Let's talk to Ben. What we call the show for Ben?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
That's right, you call for me. I'm the star of
the show. How dare you?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
You are the star of this show? Man? And do
you want why? Ben? Because we love your show?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Heads about to bleed here, that's right.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Hey, Well, I'm so glad you stayed on hold the
entire show for that phone call. You're literally people are
driving off the road, they're falling a slip.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I would like to hear Josh's song at Holler and James,
thirty two pills in the morning, thirty two pills that
night you screwed up. You screwed up.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You screwed up your own song, James. It's not thirty
two pills, James. It's about it's a bad job.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
But you I don't I don't know ya by night.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, all right, played ten seconds of it so we
get them off their Jed, I can hang up on you.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I played ten seconds. I can hang up yes, no.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Line, Come on, what do you want to hear me?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I'm here here, it is here. It's not thirty two.
I'm serious like I thought it was thirty six. Here
you go, holler and James song from day school for
just joab even month. Yeah, thirty six, thirty six bills
that night, A month to do? Are you down to
thirty two pills?
Speaker 5 (26:56):
James?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Because if that's the case, we're gonna have to stop.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Playing the song. It's a it's an old song. I thought, well,
you said, all right, I gotta go thank you? All right?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
That set the sign I'm doing them. Let's go to
let's see here. Blind Scott is on the north end
of Boston. Hello, blind Scott.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Where the white women at?
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
Yeah, so up here in the northeast, Loraina. When you
come to the blind Scott Meet and greet in October,
you know wherever they're going to decide to host it.
I can't wait to meet the fans. The people here
are so ugly, Loraina, You're going to be surprised how
good you look next to all these people they're known
for not.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Being that's a that's a bad for you. You're blind, Scott.
How do you know how anyone looks?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
You're blind?
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Most of the good book of people and boughts that
are from New Jersey, they're like transplants. Nobody wants to
live around here. It's really cold, you know, it's it's expensive,
by the way.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
You know, man, I've seen when I've been to Boston,
I've seen good looking people. There's a lot of college people.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
That go there. They're usually good looking college.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
At the meet and Greek. They're not going to be
at the meet and.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Greek definitely not of the meat. We'll have ugly people
to meet, but that's fine. Those are my people.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
You know Tony Kunigliereio, Tony c he's friends of my family.
He got my mom into college, you know. And then
you know Fred Smirlers. I got kicked off the show.
It's called the Fred Smirla show. It was on the
other station. So like back in the day, I rode
my bike to like a Fred Smirlers live radio remote,
and they like were so put off by like a
(28:23):
kid trying to participate in the show. That that's why
I never could figure out why you met kids participate
in the show. But then we ran into Steve Geosti.
This is going back to that guy beast his phone
call in the second hout. He's from Rhode Island.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Obviously that guy he we me.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
And my dad, he just runs the marathon. Right, we
run into Steve Diosti. Right, my dad confronts Steve Diosti
and tells him that he's a complete fraud and he
should have never ran in the Boston Marathon because you
know how they get the numbers, Someone just gets them
to him and you have to like qualify it out boolly.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
I live next to the airport.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
So why used to have to call these shows up
to wait on hold the whole show? So to drive
I fell crazy? Like he had to make up this
rule we could only call two times and one night
because I try to stay on hold the whole night,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
One thing about Most radio stations used to have those rules,
but nobody takes calls anymore, so they don't really care
about the rules anymore because they don't take calls.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Yeah, because they're trying to sell advertising, so they're trying
to fill every segment with paid guests for advertisers. But
like even Mario Lopez, you know that. Okay, he does
a radio show now. It's pretty good. It's on in
La Are they in the same building as you always
want to?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I think he tapes that during the day, so I
never see him, but he has a recording.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
On there right now. He has some good content on
there right now. Because it appeaces to people driving their
kids back and forth from school, it seems like the
highest radio ratings gets, it's just soccer moms sitting in
their cards, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, I'm doing very well with soccer moms. All right,
I got to thank you. You're droning on.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Let's salo to Danny Vito, America's favorite trash man. Hello,
Danny DeVito, welcome, miss Samelaay, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Danny?
Speaker 8 (30:10):
Friends of what two hours? Miss?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Oh my god, you're complaining.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I don't know you're complaining now now I don't know
that we're friends anymore.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
Well, it isn't a broad because, uh, you know, I'm
cleaning up the wonderful city of Boston. So I was
busy doing all the things.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
But how's the how's the trash smell today?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Everything's smelling good there.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
It's actually smells better than it once to get. There's
a little bit colder out here now it's a little

before the week one starts here tonight. It's gonna be
the Baltimore Ravens against the Atlanta Falcons. That's gonna be

the hump.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
There's no chance of the Atlanta Falcons. The Avana Falcons are
not going to the Super.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
The Atlanta is gonna be there because that rookie quarterback
is going to be a player, I'm telling you, is
not a He's not a rookie anymore.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Michael Pennix Junior.

work we need. If we didn't have trash Man, we'd
be totally scre Trash would be piling up every We'd
be like Manhattan.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Can I address that real quick? I feel like he's
not I mean like he he went a little bit overboard,
But he's not the only one that I've seen hyping
up the Falcons this season.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
What is that about? Did I miss something?
Speaker 6 (32:35):
Because I'm pretty sure we saw Michael Pennix Junior start
a few games last season and it's not like he
like blew the doors out off the place, like what.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
No, no, no, And uh their coach I'm not a
big fan of you know, he's He's like an average coach.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Raheem Morris is nothing. I don't get the Falcons hype.
I just don't get it.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Well, you know, everyone wants to get that new surprise team,
not the usual suspects.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
This is easy to pick. I'm gonna pick Kansas City
get the super Bowl. Well they always get to the
super Bowl, so okay, but if you.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Want to stand out, you got to pick that that
surprised team.
Speaker 2 (33:06):

Mather Show. As we are rolling on.
Speaker 1 (33:12):

his dad had a lot of.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Money and died and then he ended up owning the team.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
So Mark Davis did an interview this week and said
that Tom Brady was supposed to be on the Raiders
back in twenty twenty. Mark Davis said, quote, he meaning
Brady was close to wanting to come here, but the
coach and general manager decided they wanted to go in
a different direction, so we didn't sign him.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
That seems like.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
A rather big quote to me. Yeah, it seems like
a rather big quote to me. We go back to
the year twenty twenty and the Raiders. The brains are
the Raiders at that time.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Who were they?
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Well, you had John Gruden was the coach of the
Raiders and kind of the GM. So you tell me
