Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name bur four, hour four
of the radio show. We're enjoying some potato soup right
here in our number four. And it's about the Zeke
doing a little window shopping. Zeke Elliott. He's unemployed right now.
He'd like a job. We are going to make you
a career counselor your career counselor for Zeke Elliott. Where
(00:25):
do you advise him to go? And why are there
three premium contenders allegedly interested in Zeke Elliott? Is that
real or fake? And what are the odds of a
career rebirth in new laundry for the ex cowboys Zeke Elliot.
We'll talk about that as well. Right now here it
is our number four. Window shopping. That's what you're doing
(00:52):
right now, window shopping. Welcome. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are in the
Everywhere partners in crime, as we are satisfying your census
unless we don't coast to coast, port of the border
and beyond on the vast and unmistakably powerful microphones of
(01:16):
fs are emanating live from the road the end of
the road. We are broadcasting live from the tirerac dot
Com studios ti irac dot com. We'll help you get
there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tirerac dot com the
(01:37):
way tire buying should beat. So I lead this hour,
coming from the trading post in the pigskin world. How
about damn Cowboys. Once you've been branded a cowboy, you
have cred street cred for like the rest of your career.
So a cowboy an ex cowboys looking for his new
(01:59):
road to Zeke Elliott. Hello. Now he was unceremoniously dumped
by Jerry's World recently. And now, as you know, he's
a free agent, which is nice, politically correct terminology for unemployed.
You should say that if you lose your job. You said,
(02:20):
I'm a free agent. I think I'm gonna do that
when I lose this job, I'll be like, I'm a
free agent right now. And so Jake Elliott is job
hunting and I know you're dying to know his career possibilities.
Have you heard maybe not? Maybe actually have a life
and you don't pay attention or you missed it. We
have learned that are running back Zeke Elliott, former Ohio
(02:44):
State Buckeye, has quote narrowed narrowed his options down to
the Eagles, Jets and Ben Gals. Adam Schefter tells us
that a decision will be made shortly likely by the
end of the day. Today, today's Friday, today's to day.
(03:06):
You know what that means exactly. We must unite as
one here in the Mallard militia and offer our services
help this man out. So let's discuss the question. I
have now made you the career counselor for Zeke Elliott,
(03:26):
unemployed professional football player, Zeke Elliott, where do you advise
him to go? Assuming this report is accurate and I
already have my doubts Eagles, Jets and Ben Gals, where
do you go? So my thoughts on this, I've got Porcopolis, Wreckett,
Ralph and Sizzles just like that. And we will tie
(03:51):
all of these things together, and we are going to
make the barbaganoose, make the babaganoose. We're gonna make the
barbaganoose for jeromean Kansas city who no longer calls the show.
But I don't care, all right, So a think of
this as a sports radio Public Service Announcement the PSA.
And I'm proud to say that I have done more
(04:14):
PSA's doing this shift than anyone else in radio. They'll
see you before you see them. So we have activated
the Mallar Think Tank to help you out here. This
is a one man focus group or woman if you
want them. But I'm anna dude, so consultant to the stars.
The Mallar Think Tank we have advised everyone from Lebron
(04:35):
James to Michael Jordan's back in the day, random baseball players.
So sitting here in the catbird seat in the magic
radio box on top of the bully pulpit, we have
a lot of influence. So our unsolicited advice for Zee Galliott,
(04:56):
where do you advise him to go? We advise him
to go to Porkopolis, which was the name of Cincinnati
back two hundred years ago. They called it Porkopolis. Why
because meatpacking was a big deal and a lot of pork,
and so they called it Porkopolis. But the Bengals make
the most sense for Zeke Elliott. And here's why you
(05:18):
can ride the coattails of Joe Burrow since he is
getting ready to say bye bye to Joe Mixon and
his sister who's been accused of shooting a gun at
the random kids playing NERF in the neighborhood. The Bengals
are a bona fide certified heavyweight contender in the AFC.
(05:40):
I realize they're not the Chiefs and they're not Buffalos
and that Max. It's they're right at the top. We
are skeptical that Zeke Elliott has anything left in the
tank to push forward. Now, if you could freeze your
memory back when he was good, then okay, and you
go back and you could recreate that if you can
(06:01):
get your DeLorean out and go back to that point
in time. Nevertheless, for this little exercise, we are providing
career advice and counsel to Zeke Elliott, and I would
take the Bengals. Philly would be fun because you get
to play the Cowboys twice a year. However, the Eagles
had a fluke season in twenty twenty two, and the
NFL is going to outlaw the secret sauce of Jalen Hurtz.
(06:26):
The tush push is said to be going the way
of the Dodo Bird, So that's going away. And Philadelphia overachieved,
and my experience is when you have an extreme outcome,
it is followed up with a regression to the meet.
Extreme outcomes are followed by more moderate runs. There's also
a report that comes out of Philly. One of the
(06:50):
Eagle reporters who's in the tank with the team says
the Eagles have told him that they are not engaged
in conversations with Zeke Elliott about joining the tea and
they're happy with their running backs and all that. So
that report indicates, if I read it right, that this
Zeke Elliott's story was a plant by his agent and
(07:12):
those are the teams he would like to play for,
but not necessarily the teams that want him vice versa.
I think it takes two to have a relationship. I
don't know, maybe maybe one. It could be an arranged situation.
This is the thing that Lamar Jackson is missing, because
Lamar's got a guy that sells personal gems as his agent.
(07:34):
Zeke Elliot's got like a real high falutin agent who's
planning stories with Schefter and these other insiders. That's the
way to do it now. As for Gang Green hyped
up this year as an IT team, the Jets would
be a carbon copy of an old NFL team from
the nineteen seventies, the over the hill game in the
offensive backfield. Now Aaron Rodgers is going to be forty,
(07:56):
he's over the hill based on it's a young man's
game in full, Zeke mathematically is not over the hill.
He hasn't reached the age of thirty. Maybe he's twenty seven,
but he just plays like an old fogy is how
he plays all right? Now, Page two, Why are there
three somewhat premium teams that were tossed out by Zeke
(08:19):
Elliott said to be interested? And I am including the
Jets because they will be shoved down your throat and
my throat as a glamour team assuming that nice package
comes from Wisconsin and arrives in New Jersey. You have
a falling star here, Zeke Elliott, who has provided let
me check my notes here, he's provided diminishing returns for
(08:42):
several years. He was one of the worst running backs
in the NFL last season. Not my opinion, it's fact.
But hey, we're at a fork in the road, and
if this is accurate, Zeke Elliott's got options. But it
appears that teams are willing to break the cardinal rule
of big time athletic competition. Do not let a falling
(09:02):
star fall on you. Less dominant players typically fall by
the wayside. That's how it's supposed to work. But to
answer the question why I continue my long standing take,
this is more validation for my long standing take that
professional sports teams, in this case football, suffer from extreme
(09:23):
Florence nightingale syndrome. It's alive and will and these executives,
these coaches believe that they can fix the career of
Zeke Elliott and it's going to be their pet project.
They've watched wreck It Ralph, and they will bring in
fix It Felix on the payroll and he's here to
save the day, fix It Felix and all. All right,
(09:45):
last word, So what are the odds just between me
and you, what are the odds of Zeke Elliot's rebirth
when he finally changed his laundry. So we'll officially give
the odds out once he actually picks a new team.
But my odds as of this hour slim and none,
(10:05):
And right now none is going through a metal detector
at the TSA checkpoint, ready to go down to the
terminal to get on a plane outside of an occasional blip,
blippity blip. Don't hold your breath. Zeke Elliott has been
in rapid decline for multiple seasons. As we said, the
(10:27):
parade has passed him by. No play for mister Gray,
as the Great Nick's legend would say. Now, my evidence
on that would be the numbers and the eyeballs. Zeke
Elliott finished dead last in the NFL and yards per
touch last season. We gave this stat in a previous
(10:49):
episode of the show, but it's worth repeating if you
didn't hear it, So listen to this. This is the
most damning argument against Zeke Elliott one can give. So
he finished last in the NFL in yards per touch.
Tony Pollard, his teammate, led the NFL in that category.
That's among all players with two hundred touches and more.
(11:11):
Same quarterback, same offensive line, same receivers, same coaching staff,
the same ecosystem, and yet Tony Pollard was number one
in the entire NFL and Zeke Elliott was dead last
average three point nine yards per touch. Tony Pollard was
(11:32):
two yards better the Cowboys. But wait, there's more. The
Cowboys averaged five point seven yards per play with Tony
Pollard on the field overall, right, that's that they were.
They were ninth in the NFL four point nine yards
per play was Zeke Elliott and that is twenty seventh.
And so Zeke Elliott's a guy that has the name
(11:56):
because of that afterglow from Jerry's world, but not the game.
He's all sizzle and no steak. The steak is gone
and not even one of those rip off beyond meat
style Tomahawks steaks, not even that. And again it is
on the public record. I'm not just making this up.
And he's only twenty seven. He plays older, as we said.
(12:19):
And the other number that is just mind blowing is
that Zeke Elliott has not scored a touchdown outside the
red zone since twenty nineteen, and he's touched the ball
eleven hundred times. So he is essentially a short yardage
specialist goal line situation for the most part, that's where
(12:41):
he's effective at least it scoring touchdowns. So I've made
my argument, but somebody will sign him. I'm skeptical it's
going to happen today, but we'll keep your posted and
if it happens over the weekend, we will be back
behind the microphones practicing the ancient art of gas baggery
starting on Sunday night in the Monday morning. It is

(14:29):
excellent Mallon monologue on washed up Zeke Elliott, NFLGMS, ain't
no dummies except for a few. Well it takes is
one dummy. I need more dummies in radio so I
can get paid the big money. I need a big
moron in radio. You probably I think my bosses are
morons for hiring me. But oh he's one person to overpay,
he says. A month or two after the draft, when
(14:51):
nobody picks him up, watch brain stem Bill Belichick grab
him on the cheap and then watch number fifteen run

I find shopping for glass to be a pain. I
(15:15):
see what you I see what you did there. We
have the Coop Scoop coming up a little bit. Let's
go to the phones and we say hello to our
friend Butch on the international line. Hello, Butch. He's calling
us from Portugal. Hello, Butch, welcome. Hey. Then, hey, everybody
on the show. Good morning, good morning. What's going on
(15:36):
in Portugal? What brings you there? I'm actually had a
convention with European Union military trying to see how to
better support the Ukraine. So good on, Jay, Scoop, be careful. Yeah,
grad he's doing it. But you know that's cool. He's
gonna do that. Yeah. So are they whining and hiding you?
(16:00):
Are they is spoiling you? In Portugal? It's some beautiful places. No, no,
they're not. No, it's no, it's it's great. It's great
about my family because that's just a confidence. But it's
just a thing to figure out how to better, better,
just support the Ukraine. Oh good. Have you walked through
it on medieval castles while you've been there? Have you
people stone villages? And yes, yeah, all right, lots of
(16:22):
tappas and sangria and uh and uh. It's also other
than the Jay Scoop thing, which is kind of cool.
Um he's doing that. There's a lot of people doing it,
but you know he's one of your guys, so that's cool.
But the other thing was I totally agree with you
with Zeke Elliott's he's done, but he's still not as
(16:44):
bad as that scratch Off guy that calls you that
do since he got like TikTok or Twitter or whatever
and wuch you wait a minute, time out. Are you
telling me it's not compelling talk radio when Sir scratch
Off calls up and does shout outs to his Twitter
follow you're not enjoying that content? What's wrong with you?
I'd rather I'd rather listen to blind Emmett and he
(17:07):
sucks too. Oh wow, shots fired and blind Emmett. You
want to do any of the other handicapped listeners you'd
like to attack them while we're at it here, No,

have at least came in second for International Call of
the Year if you didn't have that category. So yeah,
you got to bring that back a week the show. Yeah,
I mean it's limited. We have you, we have Terry
(17:29):
in England, we have some buddies in Australia. So Terry,
Terry in England or the Australian guys didn't really call
us year. Yeah, well Terry's called. Now we've got I
think a Butch is autobund. Butch though, I think of
you as the autobun guy, but that's usually I am.
But uh yeah, this is actually the tenth Country of
Culture Stoom and February. It was it was just on
hold too long. Took my wife and kids at the
(17:51):
day twent of five hundred and I was calling you
from like one of the practice days or something. Then
it was just on hold too long. But that's America.

Scoop on entertainment. Holy crap, all right, ben, Um, that
(27:01):
didn't happen, right? Those are two. Those are two multi
time caller of the years. That's the best that we
have to offer. And they say talk radio's gone down?
All right? Heading over to the theaters, we've got John
(27:22):
Wick Chapter four coming out this weekend. My wife just
saw that tonight. I bet there. You didn't. You didn't
go see it with her? No, I have a job,
I have to work. I couldn't. It's like a really
long movie, she said it. Oh is it? Yeah, like
really really really long. Well, I have heard that this
is getting the best reviews of the entire john Yes,
(27:46):
it has a ninety five percent Rotten Tomato score. My golly, yes,
I look at that. Have you seen any of the
John Wick films, Ben, No, I saw the first two.
I did not see the third one. I've seen them all.
They're great. I love them. Hours and forty nine minutes. Whoa,
that's a lot of shooting. It's like an American League
(28:06):
baseball game. Come on, Wow, that's pretty long for a
John Wick movie. But well, I'll check it out. I'll
let you guys know how it is. That is about
an hour and twenty minutes too long. How do you know,
don't you want to get your money's worth? No, because
movies and shows I was told by so many years ago,
I have to be ninety minutes. That's the sweet spot.
(28:27):
Ninety minutes. When you see a show in Vegas or Broadway,
it's ninety minutes. It's good. I wanted to last forever.
That's true. I agree with you. All right, I'm moving
over that. Moving over to television, There's not much going
on today, but on Sunday night we've got the return
of a couple of good shows. First of all, we
have the fourth and final season of HBO's Succession at
(28:51):
nine pm. This is probably one of the best shows
on television, so I mean, if you haven't seen it,
try and try and catch up before day. But just
like all the rest of the seasons, this one's getting
great rave reviews. Definitely recommend checking that out on HBO.
And then also coming back, this is the second season
(29:12):
of Yellow Jackets on Showtime. That is also at nine pm,
and that one if if you don't recall if you
haven't seen it, it's kind of like a Lord of
the Flies type situation. A high school. UM. I can't
remember if they were softball or soccer. I think they
were soccer team. But they're playing crashes and they're all like,
(29:32):
then weird stuff starts happening. I think some of them
eat each other. That's yeah, it's nice. Yeah, but this
season sees Elijah Wood and Lauren Ambrose joined the cast,
so it should be should be good stuff getting good reviews.
And then finally, last, but not least, we have a
new Apple TV Plus show premiering on Wednesday. This one's
(29:56):
called The Big Door Prize. It's a comedy where basically
it takes place in a southern town where a mysterious
photo booth sized machine appears in a grocery store and
for just a few dollars, the machine promises to reveal

Welcome to the Ben Maller Show. Morning Ben. I'm thinking
(31:41):
about being known as Chicken, but from now on, I'm
considering it. I don't know what you're talking about, Kevin.
I would never allow that kind of content on a
radio show. How dare you? And we have Robbie the
Mariner Fan. Hello, Robbie the Mariner Fan. What's up? Ben?
Welcome Robbie. How's life treating you? Man? Pretty good? All right, Kevin?
(32:05):
This is a heavyweight matchup, Kevin. I hope you're prepared. Yeah, early, man,
but I'll do my best. You see that, Robbie. He's
scared of you. You see what he did right there?
He said it's early. He's planning the excuse if it
doesn't work out for him. I know what that movie is. Yeah,
I love like watching the Good Daga Game. Okay, yeah,
(32:28):
so was I and I'm still awake, So there you go. Yeah,
I know, all right, you have a we have a
time zone advantage, but let's do it anyway. Here we go,
Balderdash time and the categories. Gentlemen, we have alumni association
and chuckles chuckles. All right, mister champion, which one would
(32:48):
you like? Alumni association? All right, very good. I will
name the athlete. You tell me the college they went to,
and you listening to play along, see if you can
do better than these two guys. Question for two hundred dollars,
I named the athlete. Tell me the cause they went to.
Dion Sanders, Kevin Kevin n that's correct, the seminoles of
(33:09):
Florida State. Kay, let's go. Question two, four hundred dollars.
I named the athlete. Tell me the cause they went to?
From the NFL Champ Bailey Kevin Kevin Kevin, Georgia, Georgia
on my mind, Hey, robbie's your buzzer working there? Robbing? Yep?
(33:31):
I'm good, Okay. I named the athlete, Tell me the
cause they went to. For six hundred dollars from the NBA,
Ray Allen Kevin Kevin Kevin. Okay, that is right. Let's
say domination, domination situation. And for eight hundred dollars, I
(33:52):
will name the athlete. Tell me the college they went
to from the NBA. Lamar them Robbie Robbie Lifeline Eddie.
Oh boy, oh, come on, was it Rhode Island? Is
that what you want to go with? Yeah, all right,
(34:13):
it is Rhode Island. We actually went to a couple
of fos, but we went to UNLV too, but Rhode
Islands ended up. Um, just like that. Robbie's back in
the game thanks to Eddie. And we'll keep it going.
We'll close out this time. I name the athlete. You
tell me the college they went to for a thousand
bucks for Major League Baseball Jason Veritech, Robbie Georgia Tech Boom,
(34:35):
No baseball guy, Robbie, and Robbie takes the lady. Oh
my god, Robbie takes the lady. That's true, Chuckles with
the callee. All right, contact brother, you want to take
it outside? Boys, these sports figures are all considered funny.
(34:58):
Are you ready? All right? Two hundred dollars? This former
All Star power forward, Robbie give it Robbie Charles Barkley No.
Minus two hundred. This former All Star power forward has
given stand up comedy a shot at the famous Laugh Factory.
After testing his comedic skills in the many Kia commercials,
(35:19):
he is currently toiling away on the Celtics bench. Nah,
I don't want to do that, Eddie, Eddie Blake Griffin.
That is correct, the great Blake Blake Effect from the
Clifflers team back in the day, Lobb City four hundred dollars,
chuckles the category. This former wide receiver's antics were not
(35:43):
considered funny to everyone, but he would do go on
to incredible lengths to get a laugh on the field,
including a mock proposal to be as a cheerleader novels Robbie, Oh, no,
all right, keep keep answering wrong and backing him. Okay,
(36:09):
this guy he did the river dance. I remember he changes. Hey,
that's Chad Ocho Cinco Chad the answer six hundred dollars.
Considered one of the best right handed hitters of all time,
this athlete's comedy was very polarizing as well. He would
often be seen listening to a walkman in the outfield
or taking a bathroom break inside the Green Monster Robbie,
(36:33):
Robbie Many Ramire, that is correct for Manny Ramire. Oh
the strategy my backfire for Kevin eight hundred dollars. Known
as a lockdown defender and spot up three point shooter.
The small forward slash shooting guard was also known for
his goofy celebrations, but he's probably most well known for
(36:57):
blowing into the ear of Lebron James heaven Ken Kevin,
Oh my god, oh oh what wall No, come on,
spit it out, Kevin, Oh my god, three two one, Robbie,
(37:23):
you want to steal Robbie, Oh no, okay, it's it's
uh Stevenson. Stevenson. What's the score? Coop's one hundred to
four hundred. All right, Oh, so it doesn't matter. The
last question doesn't matter, so we won't even get to
the last question. All right, Well, Kevin, you predicted your demise,
(37:43):
so congratulations on that. Stevenson. Yeah, all right. Robbie the
murder fan, he wins it. What a way end of
the week. Unbelievable. I'm gonna have a great weekend. I
got a murder. Gotta go.
Hello and welcome. It's our name bur four, hour four
of the radio show. We're enjoying some potato soup right
here in our number four. And it's about the Zeke
doing a little window shopping. Zeke Elliott. He's unemployed right now.
He'd like a job. We are going to make you
a career counselor your career counselor for Zeke Elliott. Where
(00:25):
do you advise him to go? And why are there
three premium contenders allegedly interested in Zeke Elliott? Is that
real or fake? And what are the odds of a
career rebirth in new laundry for the ex cowboys Zeke Elliot.
We'll talk about that as well. Right now here it
is our number four. Window shopping. That's what you're doing
(00:52):
right now, window shopping. Welcome. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are in the
Everywhere partners in crime, as we are satisfying your census
unless we don't coast to coast, port of the border
and beyond on the vast and unmistakably powerful microphones of
(01:16):
fs are emanating live from the road the end of
the road. We are broadcasting live from the tirerac dot
Com studios ti irac dot com. We'll help you get
there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tirerac dot com the
(01:37):
way tire buying should beat. So I lead this hour,
coming from the trading post in the pigskin world. How
about damn Cowboys. Once you've been branded a cowboy, you
have cred street cred for like the rest of your career.
So a cowboy an ex cowboys looking for his new
(01:59):
road to Zeke Elliott. Hello. Now he was unceremoniously dumped
by Jerry's World recently. And now, as you know, he's
a free agent, which is nice, politically correct terminology for unemployed.
You should say that if you lose your job. You said,
(02:20):
I'm a free agent. I think I'm gonna do that
when I lose this job, I'll be like, I'm a
free agent right now. And so Jake Elliott is job
hunting and I know you're dying to know his career possibilities.
Have you heard maybe not? Maybe actually have a life
and you don't pay attention or you missed it. We
have learned that are running back Zeke Elliott, former Ohio
(02:44):
State Buckeye, has quote narrowed narrowed his options down to
the Eagles, Jets and Ben Gals. Adam Schefter tells us
that a decision will be made shortly likely by the
end of the day. Today, today's Friday, today's to day.
(03:06):
You know what that means exactly. We must unite as
one here in the Mallard militia and offer our services
help this man out. So let's discuss the question. I
have now made you the career counselor for Zeke Elliott,
(03:26):
unemployed professional football player, Zeke Elliott, where do you advise
him to go? Assuming this report is accurate and I
already have my doubts Eagles, Jets and Ben Gals, where
do you go? So my thoughts on this, I've got Porcopolis, Wreckett,
Ralph and Sizzles just like that. And we will tie
(03:51):
all of these things together, and we are going to
make the barbaganoose, make the babaganoose. We're gonna make the
barbaganoose for jeromean Kansas city who no longer calls the show.
But I don't care, all right, So a think of
this as a sports radio Public Service Announcement the PSA.
And I'm proud to say that I have done more
(04:14):
PSA's doing this shift than anyone else in radio. They'll
see you before you see them. So we have activated
the Mallar Think Tank to help you out here. This
is a one man focus group or woman if you
want them. But I'm anna dude, so consultant to the stars.
The Mallar Think Tank we have advised everyone from Lebron
(04:35):
James to Michael Jordan's back in the day, random baseball players.
So sitting here in the catbird seat in the magic
radio box on top of the bully pulpit, we have
a lot of influence. So our unsolicited advice for Zee Galliott,
(04:56):
where do you advise him to go? We advise him
to go to Porkopolis, which was the name of Cincinnati
back two hundred years ago. They called it Porkopolis. Why
because meatpacking was a big deal and a lot of pork,
and so they called it Porkopolis. But the Bengals make
the most sense for Zeke Elliott. And here's why you
(05:18):
can ride the coattails of Joe Burrow since he is
getting ready to say bye bye to Joe Mixon and
his sister who's been accused of shooting a gun at
the random kids playing NERF in the neighborhood. The Bengals
are a bona fide certified heavyweight contender in the AFC.
(05:40):
I realize they're not the Chiefs and they're not Buffalos
and that Max. It's they're right at the top. We
are skeptical that Zeke Elliott has anything left in the
tank to push forward. Now, if you could freeze your
memory back when he was good, then okay, and you
go back and you could recreate that if you can
(06:01):
get your DeLorean out and go back to that point
in time. Nevertheless, for this little exercise, we are providing
career advice and counsel to Zeke Elliott, and I would
take the Bengals. Philly would be fun because you get
to play the Cowboys twice a year. However, the Eagles
had a fluke season in twenty twenty two, and the
NFL is going to outlaw the secret sauce of Jalen Hurtz.
(06:26):
The tush push is said to be going the way
of the Dodo Bird, So that's going away. And Philadelphia overachieved,
and my experience is when you have an extreme outcome,
it is followed up with a regression to the meet.
Extreme outcomes are followed by more moderate runs. There's also
a report that comes out of Philly. One of the
(06:50):
Eagle reporters who's in the tank with the team says
the Eagles have told him that they are not engaged
in conversations with Zeke Elliott about joining the tea and
they're happy with their running backs and all that. So
that report indicates, if I read it right, that this
Zeke Elliott's story was a plant by his agent and
(07:12):
those are the teams he would like to play for,
but not necessarily the teams that want him vice versa.
I think it takes two to have a relationship. I
don't know, maybe maybe one. It could be an arranged situation.
This is the thing that Lamar Jackson is missing, because
Lamar's got a guy that sells personal gems as his agent.
(07:34):
Zeke Elliot's got like a real high falutin agent who's
planning stories with Schefter and these other insiders. That's the
way to do it now. As for Gang Green hyped
up this year as an IT team, the Jets would
be a carbon copy of an old NFL team from
the nineteen seventies, the over the hill game in the
offensive backfield. Now Aaron Rodgers is going to be forty,
(07:56):
he's over the hill based on it's a young man's
game in full, Zeke mathematically is not over the hill.
He hasn't reached the age of thirty. Maybe he's twenty seven,
but he just plays like an old fogy is how
he plays all right? Now, Page two, Why are there
three somewhat premium teams that were tossed out by Zeke
(08:19):
Elliott said to be interested? And I am including the
Jets because they will be shoved down your throat and
my throat as a glamour team assuming that nice package
comes from Wisconsin and arrives in New Jersey. You have
a falling star here, Zeke Elliott, who has provided let
me check my notes here, he's provided diminishing returns for
(08:42):
several years. He was one of the worst running backs
in the NFL last season. Not my opinion, it's fact.
But hey, we're at a fork in the road, and
if this is accurate, Zeke Elliott's got options. But it
appears that teams are willing to break the cardinal rule
of big time athletic competition. Do not let a falling
(09:02):
star fall on you. Less dominant players typically fall by
the wayside. That's how it's supposed to work. But to
answer the question why I continue my long standing take,
this is more validation for my long standing take that
professional sports teams, in this case football, suffer from extreme
(09:23):
Florence nightingale syndrome. It's alive and will and these executives,
these coaches believe that they can fix the career of
Zeke Elliott and it's going to be their pet project.
They've watched wreck It Ralph, and they will bring in
fix It Felix on the payroll and he's here to
save the day, fix It Felix and all. All right,
(09:45):
last word, So what are the odds just between me
and you, what are the odds of Zeke Elliot's rebirth
when he finally changed his laundry. So we'll officially give
the odds out once he actually picks a new team.
But my odds as of this hour slim and none,
(10:05):
And right now none is going through a metal detector
at the TSA checkpoint, ready to go down to the
terminal to get on a plane outside of an occasional blip,
blippity blip. Don't hold your breath. Zeke Elliott has been
in rapid decline for multiple seasons. As we said, the
(10:27):
parade has passed him by. No play for mister Gray,
as the Great Nick's legend would say. Now, my evidence
on that would be the numbers and the eyeballs. Zeke
Elliott finished dead last in the NFL and yards per
touch last season. We gave this stat in a previous
(10:49):
episode of the show, but it's worth repeating if you
didn't hear it, So listen to this. This is the
most damning argument against Zeke Elliott one can give. So
he finished last in the NFL in yards per touch.
Tony Pollard, his teammate, led the NFL in that category.
That's among all players with two hundred touches and more.
(11:11):
Same quarterback, same offensive line, same receivers, same coaching staff,
the same ecosystem, and yet Tony Pollard was number one
in the entire NFL and Zeke Elliott was dead last
average three point nine yards per touch. Tony Pollard was
(11:32):
two yards better the Cowboys. But wait, there's more. The
Cowboys averaged five point seven yards per play with Tony
Pollard on the field overall, right, that's that they were.
They were ninth in the NFL four point nine yards
per play was Zeke Elliott and that is twenty seventh.
And so Zeke Elliott's a guy that has the name
(11:56):
because of that afterglow from Jerry's world, but not the game.
He's all sizzle and no steak. The steak is gone
and not even one of those rip off beyond meat
style Tomahawks steaks, not even that. And again it is
on the public record. I'm not just making this up.
And he's only twenty seven. He plays older, as we said.
(12:19):
And the other number that is just mind blowing is
that Zeke Elliott has not scored a touchdown outside the
red zone since twenty nineteen, and he's touched the ball
eleven hundred times. So he is essentially a short yardage
specialist goal line situation for the most part, that's where
(12:41):
he's effective at least it scoring touchdowns. So I've made
my argument, but somebody will sign him. I'm skeptical it's
going to happen today, but we'll keep your posted and
if it happens over the weekend, we will be back
behind the microphones practicing the ancient art of gas baggery
starting on Sunday night in the Monday morning. It is

steaming Meatballs, writes in from the Sunshine stad He says,
(14:29):
excellent Mallon monologue on washed up Zeke Elliott, NFLGMS, ain't
no dummies except for a few. Well it takes is
one dummy. I need more dummies in radio so I
can get paid the big money. I need a big
moron in radio. You probably I think my bosses are
morons for hiring me. But oh he's one person to overpay,
he says. A month or two after the draft, when
(14:51):
nobody picks him up, watch brain stem Bill Belichick grab
him on the cheap and then watch number fifteen run
for fi fifteen yards per game. That's the hot analysis
there from Stevie meat Balls. Chip in the Ques Beautiful
Syracuse writes in says a plus and the Mallard monologue.
I find shopping for glass to be a pain. I
(15:15):
see what you I see what you did there. We
have the Coop Scoop coming up a little bit. Let's
go to the phones and we say hello to our
friend Butch on the international line. Hello, Butch. He's calling
us from Portugal. Hello, Butch, welcome. Hey. Then, hey, everybody
on the show. Good morning, good morning. What's going on
(15:36):
in Portugal? What brings you there? I'm actually had a
convention with European Union military trying to see how to
better support the Ukraine. So good on, Jay, Scoop, be careful. Yeah,
grad he's doing it. But you know that's cool. He's
gonna do that. Yeah. So are they whining and hiding you?
(16:00):
Are they is spoiling you? In Portugal? It's some beautiful places. No, no,
they're not. No, it's no, it's it's great. It's great
about my family because that's just a confidence. But it's
just a thing to figure out how to better, better,
just support the Ukraine. Oh good. Have you walked through
it on medieval castles while you've been there? Have you
people stone villages? And yes, yeah, all right, lots of
(16:22):
tappas and sangria and uh and uh. It's also other
than the Jay Scoop thing, which is kind of cool.
Um he's doing that. There's a lot of people doing it,
but you know he's one of your guys, so that's cool.
But the other thing was I totally agree with you
with Zeke Elliott's he's done, but he's still not as
(16:44):
bad as that scratch Off guy that calls you that
do since he got like TikTok or Twitter or whatever
and wuch you wait a minute, time out. Are you
telling me it's not compelling talk radio when Sir scratch
Off calls up and does shout outs to his Twitter
follow you're not enjoying that content? What's wrong with you?
I'd rather I'd rather listen to blind Emmett and he
(17:07):
sucks too. Oh wow, shots fired and blind Emmett. You
want to do any of the other handicapped listeners you'd
like to attack them while we're at it here, No,
maybe next year, because you know, I think I could
have at least came in second for International Call of
the Year if you didn't have that category. So yeah,
you got to bring that back a week the show. Yeah,
I mean it's limited. We have you, we have Terry
(17:29):
in England, we have some buddies in Australia. So Terry,
Terry in England or the Australian guys didn't really call
us year. Yeah, well Terry's called. Now we've got I
think a Butch is autobund. Butch though, I think of
you as the autobun guy, but that's usually I am.
But uh yeah, this is actually the tenth Country of
Culture Stoom and February. It was it was just on
hold too long. Took my wife and kids at the
(17:51):
day twent of five hundred and I was calling you
from like one of the practice days or something. Then
it was just on hold too long. But that's America.
Who cares about that? Yes, that's right, you're right about that,
but what the heck? Anyways, just want to say good
for Jase Scoop. All right, thank you. Yeah, if you
missed that announcement, Jay Scoopy, he announced big announcement coming

Scoop on entertainment. Holy crap, all right, ben, Um, that
(27:01):
didn't happen, right? Those are two. Those are two multi
time caller of the years. That's the best that we
have to offer. And they say talk radio's gone down?
All right? Heading over to the theaters, we've got John
(27:22):
Wick Chapter four coming out this weekend. My wife just
saw that tonight. I bet there. You didn't. You didn't
go see it with her? No, I have a job,
I have to work. I couldn't. It's like a really
long movie, she said it. Oh is it? Yeah, like
really really really long. Well, I have heard that this
is getting the best reviews of the entire john Yes,
(27:46):
it has a ninety five percent Rotten Tomato score. My golly, yes,
I look at that. Have you seen any of the
John Wick films, Ben, No, I saw the first two.
I did not see the third one. I've seen them all.
They're great. I love them. Hours and forty nine minutes. Whoa,
that's a lot of shooting. It's like an American League
(28:06):
baseball game. Come on, Wow, that's pretty long for a
John Wick movie. But well, I'll check it out. I'll
let you guys know how it is. That is about
an hour and twenty minutes too long. How do you know,
don't you want to get your money's worth? No, because
movies and shows I was told by so many years ago,
I have to be ninety minutes. That's the sweet spot.
(28:27):
Ninety minutes. When you see a show in Vegas or Broadway,
it's ninety minutes. It's good. I wanted to last forever.
That's true. I agree with you. All right, I'm moving
over that. Moving over to television, There's not much going
on today, but on Sunday night we've got the return
of a couple of good shows. First of all, we
have the fourth and final season of HBO's Succession at
(28:51):
nine pm. This is probably one of the best shows
on television, so I mean, if you haven't seen it,
try and try and catch up before day. But just
like all the rest of the seasons, this one's getting
great rave reviews. Definitely recommend checking that out on HBO.
And then also coming back, this is the second season
(29:12):
of Yellow Jackets on Showtime. That is also at nine pm,
and that one if if you don't recall if you
haven't seen it, it's kind of like a Lord of
the Flies type situation. A high school. UM. I can't
remember if they were softball or soccer. I think they
were soccer team. But they're playing crashes and they're all like,
(29:32):
then weird stuff starts happening. I think some of them
eat each other. That's yeah, it's nice. Yeah, but this
season sees Elijah Wood and Lauren Ambrose joined the cast,
so it should be should be good stuff getting good reviews.
And then finally, last, but not least, we have a
new Apple TV Plus show premiering on Wednesday. This one's
(29:56):
called The Big Door Prize. It's a comedy where basically
it takes place in a southern town where a mysterious
photo booth sized machine appears in a grocery store and
for just a few dollars, the machine promises to reveal
each customer's true destiny, which prompts the local townspeople to
make drastic changes to their lives. That one stars Chris O'Dowd.
(30:16):
And that is Wednesday on Apple TV Plus. And that
is Coop Scoop on Entertainment. They you for that Cooper

I don't want to do that, Eddie, Eddie Blake Griffin.
That is correct, the great Blake Blake Effect from the
Clifflers team back in the day, Lobb City four hundred dollars,
chuckles the category. This former wide receiver's antics were not
(35:43):
considered funny to everyone, but he would do go on
to incredible lengths to get a laugh on the field,
including a mock proposal to be as a cheerleader novels Robbie, Oh, no,
all right, keep keep answering wrong and backing him. Okay,
