Speaker 1 (00:00):
We go. It's a nod and a wink in our
number four. Don't forget about Benny Versus the Penny Week
seven and the NFL kicks off tonight. You want a
free pick handicapped against the spread. Nobody else has this content.
It's only available on YouTube at Benny vs. Pennedy Benny Vspenny.
If you want that. It's like a fire breathing dragon.

(00:23):
Check that out. But here in our number four, on
this Thursday, the sixteenth day of October, What did you
take away from twa tongue of Biloa's apology to the
Dolphins and his teammates. Also, Joe Buck says the Raiders
were not happy that Monday Night Football showed Tom Brady
in the coaches box. Your thoughts on that and thumbs

(00:44):
up thumbs down on the Tennessee Titans not not giving
Patriots coach Mike Rabel one of those tribute videos. We'll
get to all that and more right now here it is,
have a wonderful Thursday. It's our number four. You want
the true, handle the truth, and if you get the truth,
you're gonna have to apologize for the truth. Welcome in

(01:07):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air, ayware, fellow shareholders, as we
are splashing about in the mud, the sporting mud. Coast,
the coast, border, the border, and beyond on the vast

(01:30):
and euphorically powerful microphones of fs are am modinating live
from the ocean, the sporting Ocean. We just spit into
that sporting ocean from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
as approved by Noah in Austin in this portion of

(01:51):
the Ben Malady Show on Fox, made possible in part
by our friends at Express Employment Professionals. Business fluctuations make
running your manufacturing business complay, but stabbing your business doesn't
have to be. Let Express Employment Professionals provide the workforce
you need. Go to expresspros dot Com to find the
location near you to make alf very happy, the Alien Opiner,

(02:13):
the Leprechaun Mike in New Hampshire and ferg Dog. That's
Expresspros dot Com. Not sure about Danny DeVito. I'm not
sure if he likes that or not, but he probably does.
He probably does, so our lead this hour is from football.
I did want to mention the baseball last night, the
American League Championship Series, the Alcs and oh what a
game it was, unless it wasn't. As Toronto comes storming back.

(02:38):
Vladimir Guerrero Junior took the first two games off Vladdie
Junior four hits, a monster mashing kind of night, five
home runs for Toronto and George Kirby the penata as
the Blue Jays teed off on him at a time
you cannot tee off. So there is no home field
advantage in baseball. Despite playing one hundred and six six

(03:00):
two games to get home field advantage, there have been
five games in the league championship series. The road team
has won every single game. It is road field advantage.
It is a small sample size, but that is where
we're at right now. Meanwhile, we go to Miami, Miami, Miami,
Miami and the Dolphins. Now, if you're really old, the

(03:21):
Dolphins used to be good. If you're young, the Dolphins
have sucked your entire life, much like the Dallas Cowboys.
Dolphins quarterback Tua Tongueabi Lawa. What did he do this week?
He apologized. He apologized for criticizing his teammates. You might
remember in the previous episode of the show, we talked
about this in a Mallard monologue, he apologized for criticizing

(03:44):
his teammates for being late to players only meetings. This
after Tua through three interceptions in a football game against
the team from Los Angeles known as the Chargers. If
you did not hear what Tua had to say, you
might have missed it. We have the audio. Listen close,
because he he uses someone else as the bad guy
in this. See if you can pick up on it,

(04:05):
use your supersonic hearing. But here it is. Here's two.
Let's go to the audio tape.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
As a leader of this team of the Miami Dolphins,
you know the comments that that had been said, I
would say, I've made a mistake, and I'm owning up
to that right now. You know, I've talked to guys
on the team about it, talk to the leaders about it,
and they know my heart. They know that the intent
was right. But you know, the intent can be right,

(04:31):
but when things get misconstrued or however the media wants
to portray it, you know that that leaves a void
of silence and a lot of questions for the guys
on our team.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Okay, so Dolphins are one in five, and let us
discuss the question as that's a good jumping off point.
What did you take away from Tua Tongue of Biloa?
You just heard the apology to his Dolphin teammates. So
I've got Milton Bradley, Captain, Jack Sparrow, and JumboTron, and

(05:07):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make the Baba ganoosh, We're gonna make
the barba. Not to lead off blaming the media, love that,
love that. Why do apologize? But it's the media who
portrayed my comments incorrectly? That was the implication, all right.

(05:28):
So what we have here to lead off is a
quarterback who attempts to go out of character, tries to
be the adult in the room, the locker room there
in Miami, attempts to do something he's not really comfortable doing.
He wants to build a better mouse trap, and he

(05:48):
lays down a little bucket of accountability for a suckbag
Dolphin team. And what happens. The quarterback gets a tap
on the shoulder. Hey, Tua, it's Joe Blow. It's me.
I'm in the Dolphins front officer. Yes, so Steven Ross,
the owner, we'd like to have it work with you.

(06:09):
We love you, but you can't say that. Boom goes
to the dynamite public apology toward l Classico as Tua
tongue of LA. Now, he wasn't wrong with what he said.
He wasn't wrong. People around the Dolphins confirmed that what
Tua said was not incorrect. The Dolphins have had players
who have a laid back approach and they don't take

(06:32):
meetings seriously, and certainly player only meetings. He's the quarterback.
You're supposed to hold people accountable. That's what you all
told me. Your quarterback is the leader of men, and
you're supposed to encourage your teammates and being the adult
and sometimes yell at them. You know. Ride the waves, right,
ride the waves up and down, high tide, low tide,
all tides. Literally part of the gig. However, because the

(06:58):
team's terrible, the our department would like to have a word.
They went to overdrive. The Dolphins played a game from
Milton Bradley, the game Corporate Twister, and they twisted tu
U's arm so to you know how much we're paying Well, yeah,
I know how much you're paying me. I love that.
That's great. Yeah, well we love it too. Meanwhile, you

(07:19):
can't say that, so you have to do the NFL's
version of a walk of shame. One minute you're the
leader of men, the next you're reading prepared statements and
repeating parroting comments that someone else wants you to say
about how your intent was good. The media misconstrued what
you were saying. And once you're apologizing because you've already

(07:42):
admitted gilt even though you were right. And you can
see the fingerprints. They don't hide them. You can see
the fingerprints of the front office on this. We cannot
have these kind of distractions. Everyone smile and say the
culture is great. Meanwhile, the building's on fire. The Dolphins

(08:03):
are one in five. That is the NFL in a nutshell.
They do not want real leaders in the definition of
what a leader had been. They want spokespeople. That's what
they want. Want spokespeople say the right things. You smile
at the camera, you nod a little bit, you give
the illusion. It's all about the illusion that everything's great.

(08:24):
Now to his apology is not really about late meetings.
It's about optics with a capitol. Oh, he spoke up management,
the coaching staff. They went like lunatics. They got all
upset now the Dolphins get to pretend everything's fine. It's
leadership theater is what it is now. Furthermore to TV Land,

(08:45):
we go TV Land where veteran NFL play by play
announcer Joe Buck. Joe Buck revealed this week that the
Raiders were very upset with the Monday Night Football crew.
Why were the Raiders upset? Whether the Silver and Black
were annoyed, They were exasperated that they the Monday Night

(09:09):
football broadcast featured Tom Brady micro managing the Raiders' offense.
You might remember that Monday Night game, which wasn't much
of a game, the Raiders and the Chargers, and Brady
was in the box. What's in the box? Tom Brady?
He was in the coaches booth, he had the headset on,
and it was a made for television moment. You might

(09:31):
remember that they went to Pete Schrager on the sidelines
and Pete Schrager said, according to Chip Kelly, he talks
to Tom Brady multiple times a day. And then they
zoomed the camera in on Tom Brady wearing his very
expensive Raider merch and he had the headset on and
the whole thing. Now, Buck said that Vegas Brass was

(09:54):
not happy that the cameras found TB twelve. As Joe
Buck said, it became a big thing and then, just
like everything else in the world, Bucks said, it goes
away five seconds later. Well you've brought it back. Congratulations.
Now the question Joe Buck saying the Raiders were not
happy that Monday Night Football showed Tom Brady in the
coaches box. Your thoughts. So it's rather obvious on this

(10:19):
what Tom Brady might as well have rolled out a
red carpet and put a spotlight on him wherever he went.
Attention world, Attention world. Tom Brady is here. He would
like your attention. He's in the Raiders coaching box wearing
the headset, Go Raiders. You think the cameras aren't gonna
find Tom Brady. The thing is, though, on this one,

(10:41):
from what I understand, they didn't have to find him.
They were told where he was going to be Like,
you can't sneak Brady into a game. He's not the
backup long snapper from East Nowhere State University. He's not
the fact that the Raiders are made it tells you
what It tells you something very simple. This was not

(11:04):
supposed to It was not supposed to look like Tom
was coaching, even though Tom was coach. This was supposed
to be very quiet, subtle, Tom Brady whispering sweet nothings
into Gino Smith's ear, and of course Chip Kelly right there. Instead,
Monday Night Football gave you a peek behind the curtain.

(11:26):
They said, Hey, let's look behind the curtain. And if
you really really wanted Tom Brady under the raidar, you
could have put him in a Halloween costume. You could
have had him dress like Captain Jack Sparrow, put him
in the Raiders coaching booth with an eyepatch, a pirate hat,
a fake beard, put a parrot on his shoulder. Yo,

(11:48):
ho ho, a pirate's life for me. Could have done that,
and that would have gotten less attention than just Tom
Brady and his skinny jeans and his expensive jacket and
all that stuff. And then maybe, just maybe you might
have gotten away with it for a little bit longer.
The fact that Pete Schraeger and the broadcast crew knew
exactly where Brady was, They knew what Brady was doing.

(12:13):
Come on, come on now now in Vegas, Monday night,
what are you doing. There's another layer here and that
is the aforementioned Chip Kelly, the NFL's highest paid offensive coordinator,
who spilled the tea in a production meeting, letting everyone
know so by the time the Monday night football broadcast
hit the air, this was not just a camera fined.

(12:35):
They knew Brady was in there. That headset wasn't a
fashion accessory. So don't get mad at the broadcasters for
showing it. Get mad at yourself for let you having
Chip Kelly say where Brady was going to be and
what he's doing and all that stuff. And all right,
last thing, to Nashville we go, where Mike Vrabel Revel

(13:00):
Week is upon us, the Patriots taking on the team
known as the Titans that used to be known as
the Houston Oilers. It's one of the matchups this weekend
in the NFL does not have a lot of juice
because the Tennessee Titans are not only a football team,
they're a laughing stock. They fired their head coach a
few days ago, so there's an interim coach that takes

(13:21):
over and Mike Rabel Revenge Week, And if you're a gambler,
the Patriots already touchdown favorite. It does seem like a
little bit of an inflated line. Nonetheless, we'll get into
that on Benny versus the Petty. But it's Mike Rabel
revenge week, the Patriot coach returning to his old stomping
grounds there in Nashville. Now we are told here's the story.
We are told that Mike Rabel's return to his old

(13:45):
stadium there as head coach for the first time since
he was whacked by the Titans will not will not
include a tribute. There is nothing being played as of
this midweek by the Titans for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
The Titans are in the midst of more drama o

(14:07):
rama with Brian Callahan let go. Somebody named Mike McCoy,
who coached the Chargers for about ten seconds, will serve
as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
So question thumbs up or thumbs down on the Tennessee
Titans not giving Patriots coach Mike Rabel a tribute video.

(14:28):
At least that's the plan as we're doing this in
real time. So this is a big thumbs up, A
big thumbs up for me. I'm good with it. I
like it. No soft music, no sappy intro, no highlights,
no slow mo of Mike Vrabel on a war path

(14:49):
on the sidelines wearing Tennessee Titans merch the whole thing
with these jumbo tron tribute videos. Initial they made some sense.
It's a nice tribute to someone that was a good employee.
And like everything else, they've become overblown. They're overcooked, they're

(15:12):
too schmaltzy, they're so predictable. Garbage, garbage. Everyone gets one.
Now everyone gets one. The equipment manager gets one. The
guy who sold soft pretzels outside the stadium back in
seven gets one. It's tribute culture, and tribute culture blows.
It just does. And I'm happy that the Titans are

(15:33):
not doing this. The Dallas Cowboys also didn't do it
when Micah Parsons came back with the Green Bay Packers.
It's like every time someone leaves, though you almost always
feel you have no choice. You got to cueue up
the cold play, throw a two minute montage together, carefully crafted,
and boom, put it on the scorebar. But this time, no,

(15:56):
this time no, you have Mike Rabel. It makes sense, Rabel,
as I understand it. Raybel and the Titans had a
very tough divorce. It was a bad divorce. Rabel wanted
to stay. There was a power struggle, and ownership went
against Mike Rabel. They kaoed Rabel. He was in a
power play with the front office. You want a tribute video,

(16:17):
maybe don't leave the building in a cloud of smoke
and lawyers and all that stuff. There's no reason to
pretend that it was some kind of fairy tale ending.
You know what, a great magical run Rabel with Tennessee
was very good for those of us that are degenerates
and bet on the NFL. But the Titans were very
solid against the spread, especially as underdogs. But it's not

(16:40):
some misty high farewell tour. If they had done a
jumbo tron video. If they had done that, it would
have come off as fake, phony and disingenuous. And it's like, well,
here's a lovely thank you, Mike. Even though we couldn't
stand each other, we were at loggerheads at the end.
Enjoy the nice little video. And Vrabel's not the type either,

(17:01):
from what I understand, you know, kind of watching him before.
He's not the type to stand there and just play
the game and put his hand over the heart. You
know and all things. And he's the kind of guy
that would probably roll his sleeves up, turn his head
away from the camera, spit a loogie, and use profanity
suddenly under his breath. That's how he's likely gonna handle that.

(17:22):
So they're not gonna do it. Good for them, don't
do it, don't need to do it, no reason to
do it. And it's not like they won some super
Bowl with Mike Rabel. They didn't. They made some playoff
appearances and they made a couple of playoff runs. But
that's it. It is the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd

We're back at it and as we work our way
through later this hour, we will have a fresh edition
of fact or fiction will get you that in the
name everyone's talking about for these coaching jobs that are
opened up, Nick Saban, we had Dicked from Dayton called

(20:28):
up last said I don't know about Stefanski. They should
call Belichick. Bring Belichick back to Cleveland, right, bring Belichick
back to Cleveland. Well, it's also another college job, which
makes no sense at all on every level. But Joel Klatt,
who's usually pretty good said Penn State, says Penn State
needs to start contacting Nick Saban for their head coaching job.

(20:54):
So Nick Saban, who was on you know Belichick had
Saban as an assistant in Cleveland. There was a guy
that worked here at Fox Sports Radio years ago, our
Fox Football scout, mister Landry, who was on that Cleveland
coaching staff, and told some great stories about them working together.
So you got Belichick who's failed with the team in

(21:18):
North Carolina, and then our caller, the great Dick and Date,
mister Ohio Sports wants him to go to the Browns.
And then you got Nick Saban, who's really bad at TV,
but gets paid a lot of money because he's Nick Saban.
And that's when you don't have to be good at TV.
When your named Nick Saban, they'll just pay a lot
of money. And you mean terrible. I remember Bobby Knight
was horrific on television. He was on there for years.

(21:39):
So Saban's seventy three years old. He's seventy three years old.
He stepped away from Alabama after the twenty twenty three season,
and we're supposed to think Penn State's gonna call him up.
What are they gonna call? What do you what's the
early bird special? Nick? What are you having? Let's go
with the phones. Let's say hello boy, he's cashing a

(22:01):
golden ticket. Let's say hello to hollering in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello,
hollering James, hollering.

Speaker 5 (22:11):
James on the burnapose dig because he's got reduced charge
of the phone, because he's been fighting and arguing and
rebellion with Charles Snipe and know he does not have
a knife. Ben Ben.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Ben, I think he went to the bathroom.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
Why Lorena. I didn't want you, mate, I wanted Ben
come on.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Well, maybe his bladder was full.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
He needs to release he needs to wear the pens.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
James. Did you just say I need to wear?

Speaker 6 (23:02):
It?

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Depends? Do you want me to come there? James? And
I'll take you out. I'll punch you. James. What's wrong
with you? How dare you?

Speaker 5 (23:10):
I know you're not me? Depends?

Speaker 1 (23:12):
I depend on them, James. How many times have I
told you when you're on the air, don't tell everyone
you wear? Depends? Just say we were very expensive underwear. Okay,
that's it, Just say yes, very unique underwear. That's right?
All right?

Speaker 5 (23:33):
Are we really going to jorj McCarthy the very first
time this season?

Speaker 1 (23:37):
No, he's apparently not ready to play. I read he's
not going to play in that game. The Carson Wentz
Carson Wentz revenge game unless there's a last minute change,
Carson Wentz revenge game against the Eagles, which will be
an Eagle win if that's the case.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
And what's the spread?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
You're asking me what the points? You don't pay attention
to that game. You're not a gambler. What are you
talking about? These Steelers are on DraftKings a one and
half point Actually it's down to one one point favorite
now the Eagles. They were favored by two and a half.
All right, James, terrible call as always, thank you so
much for ruining the show. Let's go to Mode Joe

(24:18):
Rison in the Bay Area. Hello, Mode, Joe Rising.

Speaker 7 (24:24):
Right, who's on the storm? Ben Mallor? Ben Malor show
always takes If not the norm, it's always had a
new form. Hey, mister King of Overnight, the Lovely Lorena
and the Broncos fan the Coop. How y'all are you doing? Man?

Speaker 1 (24:41):
If I was any better, people would not ask me
how I'm doing, but they do. So I'm doing okay?

Speaker 6 (24:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (24:50):
Well the reason I have to ask, mister Ben is because,
as you know, I rarely get to call in. I
still listen. Not here in Cali, I start at six,
and it's it's amazing at your show, you're so informative,
you know, he talked about so many different things. You
were just talking about the Brabil and then playing Tennessee,
and it's amazing because my crappy Raiders. The only reason

(25:10):
they won is because they played Tennessee last weekend.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, it's one of those teams. You show up, you win,
unless you're the Arizona Cardinals. Unless you're there. If you're
the Arizona Cardinals, you give the game to the Tennessee Titans.
But other than that, just show up. You know, beyond time,
you win a game, guarantee.

Speaker 7 (25:29):
That one of the only games that they'll probably win
all season. So, like I was just saying to Koopy,
you know, he's lucky he's a Bonkos fan because they're
they're a good team, are obviously going to be in
the playoffs. The Raiders will never sniff the playoffs. So
the one thing I wanted to say about this time
of year, Okay, because Halloween's coming around the corner, right
and it's the kickoff of the holiday season, which is

(25:49):
a great time of year, But it's the only time,
mister Ben in this window that all four of the
big the big sports are going. You know, it's preseason. Basketball,
hockey's already started to the other season. Football is kind
of you know, in the quarter stages. And of course
it's baseball, man, And it only lasts the window last year,
you know, to like the beginning of November. It's a

(26:10):
couple of weeks or might be a little pass now
baseball goes a little farther. So it's it's an incredible
time of the year where you got all four of
the big sports going. Pretty soon baseball will and and
then you only have three left.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah, but they will count. I don't count. I don't
count exhibition basketball. I can't count that as legit. The
NBA is actually starting their season like very soon here,
the real season, not that they're not.

Speaker 7 (26:31):
I mean it'll be next it'll be next week on too.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
No I know, I know, but I said, right now
in the moment here, the exhibition games, okay, unless unless
you get unless you get free tickets, I mean, you know,
knock yourself out.

Speaker 7 (26:45):
Technically, you're right, Ben, But in a week they all
be going for like a couple of week things and hey,
your your clippers, man, I think they're going to be good. Man.
The people's team is going to.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Be It'll be fine, and it'll be fine. It's there's
load the load management, and then two three guys will
be hurt by the playoffs. But up until then they'll
be fine. They'll be fine. They got to Game seven
this past year.

Speaker 7 (27:06):
You're in the same boat as my Warriors. I mean,
come on, they're going to have the old starters line
and starting lineup in the history of basketball. Probably not.
They got Al Horford, you know, you.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Know they'll be you know how well, yeah, I guess,
but you know they called them average Al for years.
All Right. I got to thank you for standing up
or getting up earlier whatever. I appreciate it. As was
Mojo rising from Northern California checking and let's go to Keith,
who's in Lebron's hometown of Akron, Ohio. What's going on, Keith? Welcome?

Speaker 8 (27:36):
Supposed to give a shout out to you from Bob Golick.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
The Great Bob. How's Bob Golick doing?

Speaker 8 (27:42):
Well, he's actually doing a talk show. Also, he's the
afternoon guy from three to seven and Ohio.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Actually, well, as I might I might have mentioned in
the previous episode of the show. In the early days
of Fox Sports. You know, Bob Golick worked here at
Fox Sports radioh yeah, yeah, one of the talk shows.

Speaker 8 (28:05):
So yeah, yeah, he's actually mentioned you a few times
on his show.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
I know, I think I'm the last one left. I
got to be the last one left that when Bob
worked here. And that's great Bob. But good dude, I
hope he's doing well.

Speaker 8 (28:17):
Yeah, yeah, he's suit in the air like god, I
think fifteen years or so.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Hey, is that right?

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Great? Awesome?

Speaker 7 (28:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (28:23):
Cool speaking. Okay, you're in the business. You were taught
about Caleb Williams here. What's the worst word to say?

Speaker 7 (28:31):
Or you know too many times?

Speaker 1 (28:34):
You knows a good one to f up? M's just annoying,
you know, you know, you know? Do we have Loreena?
Can we play the all time record? Coop knows what
it is that? Did you know the record, sir? The
all time record for cliches in a SoundBite?

Speaker 8 (28:51):
We have used to be a song, remember, you know,
you know, you know, you know, yes, I know, So the.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
All time record. There's a player named Scott pod Sednick.
He was a journeyman outfielder. He won a World series
with the Chicago White Sox in their championship year. So
Scott pod Sednick played with the Dodgers very briefly, and
he gave us what is still the gold standard. I'd
like you to say back, if you enjoy cliches, Keith,
this is the all time record. This is Scott pod Sednick,

(29:22):
random baseball player, the king of cliches. Let's go to
the audio tape. Well, they're all important. We got to
win as many as we can. It's a lot of
baseball to we played. Anything can happen.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Yeah, we're gonna come to the yard each and every day,
bottle each night and look up at the NFC what.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
We say, and we know our work is cut out
for us. We got a lot of work to do.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Hopefully we can all come together, realize what we have
here and try to get something done.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Is that not perfection? He hit every major cliche, Keith,
every major cliche. He solid he did you know what?

Speaker 9 (29:52):
You know?

Speaker 8 (29:52):
You used the word bag quite a bit too. You
remember the movie Dirty Harry with fuor hands.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Would would you like me to change the word bag?
What word can I use instead of bag?

Speaker 7 (30:06):
Well?

Speaker 8 (30:06):
No, no, it's good you say that but there's a
scene in there where the guy goes, hey, what's in
the bag?

Speaker 6 (30:12):
Man?

Speaker 8 (30:12):
Do you remember when I don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
If you remember, Yeah, i've heard. I've heard the line.

Speaker 8 (30:16):
And remember when he's walking in that tunnel and he's
got that bag of money and he goes, hey, man,
what's in the bag. That'd be a good sound bite
for your show.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Can we get.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
That's seven hundred.

Speaker 8 (30:32):
And all the Browns. What's the chance of a coach
like Tran Gruden coming back?

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, he's suing the NFL. So my rule is always,
if you sue the NFL, you're not coming back. However,
Brian Flores is suing the NFL. He'll be coaching the
Vikings defense this weekend, so it is conceivable that could
work out. Hey, Keith, thank you man, Glad you called it.
My God, Bob, I guess we just cut you off,
very rude, but that's okay, you'll get over it. Let's
say hello to Eini, Meeni, Miney, Moe, Mike the Leprechaun, Hello,

(31:03):
Mike the Leprechaun.

Speaker 10 (31:06):
Good morning, Bill, how are you?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
It's Ben? Bill does the ins and out right?

Speaker 10 (31:11):
Okay, Bill, okay, anyway, this might be one of my
one other base cars that are good. I'm the Irish Lepracaun,
not the Italian Leprachaun, that guy from New Hampshire. My friends,
I'm glad that Lorena likes avocado and.

Speaker 6 (31:24):
So this coup.

Speaker 10 (31:26):
We're both very intense. Corfios. My birthday happens to be
on Halloween, and last night, in case you're wondering, I
had Tasta Pennay with pizza leftovers, and that Sunday ben
I made gumbo. I made leprechaun gumbo, you know what?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Anyway, Yes, it's a little chopped up pieces of Leprecaun
that you put in there.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
No, not chopped up leprechaun sausage, shrimped beef, stock, mushrooms, cheese, potato, chips,
avocados sounds. When are you coming to bout?

Speaker 1 (32:01):
We've already been over, as we said, we were gonna
do something with the minor league team early next year.

Speaker 10 (32:07):
Yeah, but you're very You're very senile, so I have
to keep reminding you.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
I'm seen. Now, I'm not seen. What are you talking about?
I'm seen, nile? What is this, James? But the earlier
this hour, James, Hey, take a breath, James earlier was like,
oh yeah, yeah, we wear depens. He freaked out. Now
I'm seen Isle. How dare you?

Speaker 7 (32:26):
I'm better than Dick com deton.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
Right, No, I will.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
I will take Dick from Dayton over you.

Speaker 10 (32:35):
Okay? Was this one of my best eighth calls of
the past week?

Speaker 1 (32:40):
I gotta go away. Mike in New Hampshire, Golden Ticket.
Mike in New Hampshire. Hello, MIKEE in New Hampshire, Golden Ticket.
What's going on?

Speaker 7 (32:46):
Mike?

Speaker 11 (32:57):
Patriots here for a second? Yes, I think they are
going to be a playoff contender. I also think that
if Rabral makes the right moves in the offseason, because
I think they're gonna be one and done in the playoffs,
that next year there's a good chance that we're gonna
raise up the Lombardi Trophy.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
You're gonna stay off the crack. The problem is you're
gonna win a bunch of games this year, and then
next year you're gonna have a much different, much more
difficult time because the schedule is gonna be packed. You're
gonna play a first play. I know some of the
schedules already already set up, but you're gonna play a
more difficult schedule. You're not gonna have look at this.
Murderers row, the Pagers, they played the Saints, they got

(33:39):
the Titans this weekend, who suck. The Browns, who stink obviously,
play the Jets a couple times in the division. They're terrible.
Cincinnati's bad, Ravens suck, Dolphins blow well.

Speaker 11 (33:50):
I mean, I think the toughest game for them is
for the rest of the season, is gonna be the Bucks.
It's gonna be Tampa Bay.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Well, play played Buffalo again. I don't it's a home game,
but that'll possibly be difficult.

Speaker 11 (34:02):
The Patriots can clean up these penalties, they can make
a run.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Yeah, no, I don't disagree. They're gonna win a bunch
of games just by showing up. They should win minimum
minimum ten wins. This should win eleven or twelve with
that schedule.

Speaker 11 (34:18):
I was just gonna say, I see them going twelve
and five.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
So, yeah, they'll lose. They'll lose to the Jets once.
They shouldn't lose. They'll lose to Cleveland something like that.
They shouldn't lose too, so loose a couple of games
they shouldn't lose, but they will. I gotta go, Mike,
I gotta get Jay Dot on in Utah because he's
got some bad news. What kind of bad news, Jay Dodd,
did you get arrested again?

Speaker 7 (34:39):
No?

Speaker 9 (34:39):
No, none like that? Man? What van Koop?

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Right?

Speaker 9 (34:44):
So the company I worked for the past two weeks,
they said they well, they just had rocked over seventy
employees and on Monday they had let rest of us
know that they that they not get laid off. That
word there sundown night shift and on Monday this Monday,
that all the snight shifters is going to day shift.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Oh no, if that's oh my god, that's worse than
getting arrested. You're working the dreaded day shift. We're gonna
lose Jay Dot to the day shift.

Speaker 7 (35:15):
No, you know how hard it is.

Speaker 9 (35:18):
We'll work from six in the morning to two and
that during in the afternoon. Those are my sleeping.
