Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four and our first
stop is sweet home Chicago, where the deep dish pizza
is good and the football is bad. The Bears would
they let Caleb Williams help select their next head coach?
Is that idea fair or foul? It's been talked about
(00:22):
in the Chicago media. Also, former Colts quarterback Andrew Luck
says part of his identity died when he retired hastily
from the NFL. Do you have any empathy for Andrew Luck?
And is there any advice to Patriots coach Girod Mayo
on his media faux paw If you will his media
(00:43):
faux paw. We'll get to that as well. All of
it's coming your way right now. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
It's a great time of the year, and here it
is our number four. Yeah, just go.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Why don't you just pick the coach?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah? What could go wrong?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Welco.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
We are in the a.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Eywhere hot on the case as we are here because
your ears deserve better. They do coast, the coast, border,

lead this hour from the ranks of Pro Football, Sweet
Home Chicago. And this is not dedicated to Eugene in
Chicago or euphim or the other guys that have been
(02:17):
active on the show from the Windy City, but a
follow up to the shakeup heard round the NFL the
Thanksgiving fire years. It really wasn't the Bears firing Matt Eberflus,
it was him firing himself, complete malfeasance at the end
of the game with the Lions, and Chicago still has
(02:37):
that time out in their back pocket. But this is
our obligatory malar monologue again about the Matt Iberflus removal
and what happens next. Now, we told you in a
previous episode of this show that the CEO of the
Bears who kept his job.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
He says, this is the number what job in the.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
And now there are prominent voices that are claiming what
needs to happen next for the Bears. Now what is so?
We're hearing that the chatter out of Chicago is this
is such an important hire that the person that should
help decide who the next coach of the Bears is
(03:24):
happens to be the starting quarterback, Caleb Williams that he
must be involved in the hiring process for the next
head coach. Now, Ryan Polls, the GM there in Chicago,
said that Caleb will be a major part of the conversation.
Thank you very much, Captain Obvious. We appreciate that. Now,
if you connect the dots, the implication is that Caleb
(03:48):
Williams should hand pick.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
The next head.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Coach of the Bears who replaces Matt Eberflus on the sidelines.
So let us discuss the question for the panel the
Chicago Bears allowing Caleb Williams to select the next head coach,
fair or foul, Fair or foul.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So I've got.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Ghostbusters entangled and spam and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to hitch our
wagon to the train, is what we're going to do.
So to lead off here, I am going to go.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Foul ball. This was an expedited booth.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Review foul ball, all right, so not a fairball.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Foul ball, it's just wrong. I would not allow.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I would not allow Patrick Mahomes, should Andy Reid retire,
I would not allow Mahomes to pick the next coach.
So if I'm not going to allow Mahomes to pick
the next coach of the Chiefs, why on God's green
earth would I allow Caleb Williams to pick the next
head coach of the Chicago Bears. And last I checked,
(05:08):
Caleb Williams is supposed to be the big man on campus.
He was the number one overall pick. And there are
a lot of people that believe he's the Savior, He's
the Messiah and all that, all knowing, all powerful, omnipresident.
But I have an unpopular opinion, Caler Williams, stay in
(05:28):
your lane. It's the great philosopher LeVar Ball taught me
years ago. Caleb Williams has not done a damn thing
that is worthy of being in a position to pick
the next coach. He is not. And again, I would
not allow Mahomes to do it, so why would I
allow Caleb Williams? And until proven otherwise, a prospect is
(05:53):
a suspect, and he's an unproven commodity.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
It's like who's the boss, who's the boss?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
We believe in the chain of command players play and
the coaches. They have this totally different job set. And
it's like I learned when I was a child watching
the original Ghostbusters and the advice from Egon he said,
I remember this when I was a child, to not
cross the streams. There's a stream of you're the quarterback,
(06:20):
and there's a stream if you're the coach. Otherwise every
molecule in your body will explode at the speed of light.
It just won't work out. Now, Do I think there's
a very good chance that Cliff Kingsbury gets the job
in Chicago? I do? I do, which will essentially be
allowing Caleb Williams to pick his next coach. Do I
(06:42):
think that'll work? I don't. All right. Now, Furthermore, we
now pivot to Northern California. It's where the football used
to be good and now it blows. But this is
not about the Niners. This is about Andrew Luck made
the luck be with you. So Andrew Luck was recently
named the general manager of the football program and is
(07:08):
alma mater, Stanford.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Now, I didn't even realize this was.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
A thing until Wog left ESPN to become the general
manager at his old college there. So I didn't know
this was a thing. But apparently it's a thing. I'm
waiting for Saddleback College to call me and I can
become the general manager of the Saddleback College football or
radio program. But some five years after Andrew Luck, it's
called like it is.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
He went awall. Now, he went a wall.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
He quit right before the twenty nineteen NFL season, just
a couple weeks before the season opener for the Colts.
He just couldn't handle it anymore. He melted down and
he quit on the team right before the season. He's
a quitter. Andrew Luck's a quitter. So anyway, he popped
up during the Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports
Radio and he lamented, what are you talking about? He
(07:58):
talked about the grieving period.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
He said that part of his identity died.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
The words that he used. So let's pause that part
right there.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Part of his identity dying.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
So let us discuss former Colts quarterback Andrew Luck back
in football now.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Kind of at Stanford.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
He says part of his identity died when he retired
from the NFL. Do you have empathy for Andrew Luck?
So that's going to be a no from me on
this side of the microphone.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Then maybe you do.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
You're a better person than me. I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Andrew Luck made a.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Choice, and really all life is is a series of choices, right,
the choices you make and then you have to make
other choices. And Andrew Luck decided at the worst possible
time to quit, and he made his bed of nails.
There is a proper way to do that. He did
not follow the proper etiquette and decided that he did
(09:00):
not want to follow that. And the way you quit
is at the end of a season. You don't quit
a couple weeks before the start of a season. He
left the Colt franchise out to dry and the season
ticket holders who paid money got bamboozled, and so Andrew
Locke was entangled in the football world. Now, if you
(09:27):
look at the clinical term psychologists use, the term in
meshment is what they term it. It's a way to
describe where the boundaries of the time space continue of you,
the boundaries of life between what you do and who
you are are blurred, that the individual identity loses importance
(09:51):
and meshment prevents the stable, independent sense of Stelff that
you are known for your job. But I will argue,
while we spend a lot of our time here talking
about athletes and sports because that's what we do, plausibly,
to me, it's no different than if you're a carpenter,
(10:13):
or you're a truck driver, or you're working at a restaurant,
and that's what your job is, and then you change careers,
whether it's your choice or you lose your job. There
is an adjustment period.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
There isn't. I mean, just that's what happens.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
That's called life, right, and so it's it's just Andrew Luck.
We know who he is, and I don't have empathy
for him because he totally botched that entire situation. It's embarrassing.
Last thing, we now go to New England.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
The only reason I'm bringing this up. The Patsies are
back to being the patches. They're three and ten.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They stink.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
But there is an amusing story I want to think
Jimmy from Maine. I don't know if Jimmy's ever called
the show. I don't think he has. But Jimmy sent
me this story and he thought I would like it,
and I did. And the story, I'll give you the
condensed version, out of an abundance of brevity, the condensed version.
(11:14):
So Jimmy Fermaine sent me the story, and he said
that a lot of the fans and the NFL media
types are upset with Gerard Mayo. Now what are the
upset about it? The upset about his coaching? Well, now
they figured the Patriots have a bad roster. They're giving
you a pass on that. No, no, they're upset because
Gerrod Mayo, multiple times this season, following Patriot losses, has
(11:39):
said consistently, if you take out blank, but if you
take out the defense or the special teams or that
offensive drive, were great, all right, So if you take
away that, it's sunshine and lollipops and seventy five degrees.
(12:02):
And so Mayos used the phrase regularly as a way
to explain why his team blows right, And so he
did it again after they lost to the Colts. Somehow,
Gerrod Mayo and that defense, he was the de facto
defensive coordinator, although we know Belichick was the real defense.
But anyway, Girod Mayo's defense allowed a nineteen play drive
(12:26):
to the Indianapolis Colts that was capped off by a
two point conversion touchdown. Complete breakdown of that unit, complete breakdown. So,
any advice, any advice to Patriot coach Girod Mayo on
his media dealings, if you will, So, yeah, I got
some advice. I talked for a living. Not well, but
(12:46):
I talked for a living. And one thing that I've
done is I try to mix it up. I avoid
word spam if you talk for a living, and if
you're the coach, you're the ambassador of an NFL team
when you talk for a living, falling into certain phrases,
these filler phrases echo chamber. It's verbal crack. It is
(13:12):
a crack in your language. Bad job by you, So
Mao says, if you take it out or take out blank,
it's just silly, like if I told you, hey, I
saw a pig and it had wings, and if a
pig had wings, it would fly.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
And you know, we used to on the playground.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
We used to say if you're If your aunt had
blank she would be you know your uncle I used
to say, say that is that banned down or if
that's band anyway, the margins are razor thin in the NFL,
and whatever magic dust the Patriots had was Bill Belichick,
(13:52):
but mostly Tom Brady and Lady Luck is no longer
on the side of New England. Lady Luck ain't walking
through that door. And if she is walking through that door,
she's wearing Kansas City Chiefs paraphernalia. She ain't wearing Patriot
paraphernilia anymore. Good teams, I know this is a gambler.
Good teams win close games. Bad teams lose close games.
(14:16):
There's also this myth that if you're a bad team,
you get blown out. There's this false belief that if
you lose a lot of games and they're close, that
you're somehow close to being a good team. And then
on the other side, because the Chiefs have won a
bunch of close games, that they're really not that good.
Neither one of those is accurate.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
There are examples of teams that win a bunch of
close games that you know are frauds, that you know
there will be a regression to the mean. So there's
that part of it. But as I like to say
as a gambler, good teams win games. Great teams cover
the spread. So if you're a great team, you cover
the spread. You don't worry about that at all. Anyway,
it is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like
(14:59):
to comment on any of this or anything that we
talked about earlier, maybe you were not with us, you
were sleeping or not listening. Bad job by you. We've
been here all night. Talked about a number of things
on the overnight, including a story bouncing around at the
Chicago Bears should could would contact the forty nine ers
about a trade for Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
The coach had a rant about that.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
That'll be up on the podcast. Also Tom Brady with
some comments on Colin Coward Show, where we talked about
changing the punishment for quarterbacks sliding late. Maybe they penalize
or fine quarterbacks who slide late. That in reaction to
Aziz al Shier getting suspended for three games, talked about
(15:43):
Dak Prescott giving endorsement to Mike McCarthy, did a rant
about that, and we'll take your calls on any of that,
right now eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox at
eight seven seven three sixty nine, also on X at
(16:04):
Ben Mahler Live, real time feedback. So a juicy update,
We've got that. And the NFL trade deadline has come
and gone. But there is an amazing trade that is
being considered involving some senators who are getting involved in
(16:27):
a very odd trade involving the NFL and an NFL team,
And I'll explain. We'll get to all that. Trust me,
that's a humdinger of a story. If you don't think
that's a humdinger of a story, you've got something wrong.
You've got something wrong. We'll get to that, and we
will do it next.

Lorena segments, and he also points out appendage is an
(18:56):
excellent word.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
So that's a that's a compliment, Lorena, thank you.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
You know we talked about that lexicon earlier. Ben. Yeah,
always trying to expand your your vocabulary and add new
words and phrases.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And all that, and I'm all about it.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I try to learn at least one new word a week,
but I usually end up learning more. And one wonderful
thing about a radio show is when you mispronounce a word.
As I point out all the time, the one thing
the consumer of live radio loves more than anything is
(19:34):
correcting the clown on the radio. You well, you mean well,
some don't have talent. It's just exceptional though, right, it's
their girl, right, as the serial taught me when I
was a child. For example, there was a term, i'll
(19:54):
give you an example, I used for a long time
involving the cheating ah one one thousand and two one
thousand holes. And I use it for a while, and
several people reached out to me and said, hey, stupid,
you're you're not pronouncing it read.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I screwed it up, and uh and I know we well,
how do you anything?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Explained it to me and I'm all right, And I
called it the den of inequity, and it's the den
of iniquity. So I screwed that up and they corrected me.
They were ready to send me to the Gulag, but
fortunately I was able to avoid going to Siberia. That
I avoided that. I will take some calls here I am.
(20:41):
I am waiting for my board. My board has not
been reset, so I'm waiting for my board to be reset.
Then we will take some pocals. I did want to
mention this though, while I await that. Uh. The story
early in the day, the folks over there at TMZ
Harvey levin TMZ, they had a story that claimed that
one of OJ Simpson's bodyguards had a recording a confessional.
(21:05):
Did you see this confessional where Oj admitted to the
murder the two murders back in Brentwood back in the day.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And so this guy got.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
In some legal trouble in Minnesota, in Bloomington, Minnesota, and
there was a bag that was confiscated by the cops
and there was a drive on there that the police
had that supposedly contained a confessional by the OJ who's
now dead, but a confessional of the murders. Well, it's
(21:37):
kind of a big deal for those that were around
when that happens. Was like the biggest story going thirty
years ago as a massive story. And so the LAPD
said that in a joint statement with the Minnesota Police Department.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
That they did not find any evidence.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
They have looked over and heard the audio on the
m drive, the thumb drive, and there was nothing there
with OJ that they obtained. No murder confession has been found,
I said the City of Bloomington. Is a statement by
the LAPD. The City of Bloomington, Minnesota Police Department examined
(22:15):
the drives in question and determined they contained nothing in
terms of evidence, in value, any of that. And so
the guys were like, well, you know, LAPD hasn't actually
listened to it. They've never been in possession of the drives. However,
(22:35):
they say that there's no no confession. So if you
thought there was psych yeah, smells fishy.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
No, No, OJ, he did it right, I bet you
hay that help hit people helping him out.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
But he after the fact, like if.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
The glob don't fit. You must have quit. Great lines ever,
Johnny Cochrane back, He's dead. Uh. Shapiro is still alive
though I think I think he's alive. He's the only
one that f lee. Bailey's dead. Think of the OJ attorneys.
Remember Kim Kardashian's dad also dead. He was one of
(23:15):
the like OJ's buddies. Isn't OJ Chloe Kardashian's dad. Uh?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Well, that's the Internet.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
The Internet says that, and if the Internet says it,
it's got to be true. Must be true. I'd like
the Internet says I'm worth like ten million dollars. I'd
like that to be true. Can that be true? Why
can't that be should be? If OJ fathered the one
of the Kardashians, why can't I be worth ten million?
(23:42):
It says it on the Internet. I'd like that to
be true. Why can't that be true. Let's go to
the phones.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Let's say hello to legally.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Blind Christopher who's in the Carolina Hello Christopher.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Mister ma mister Maller. It just goes to prove that's
why you have all this money and decide to continue
to work twenty five years of Midnight hours. You always
want the best time to express yourself and this is
why with Lorena's helping makes it such an uplifting program,
but more importantly, not.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
A whole lot of time out of time. Let me explain, Christopher,
and I've told the management at this company, Fox Sports
Rado iHeart.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
They don't listen to me. But it has been proven.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
That the people that listen late at night or early
in the morning are more likely to support advertisers buy
products than people.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
That work during the day that by the nighttime hours.
I remember reading I read a.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Book about infomercials years ago, and they said that the
reason they were so successful back in the day when
people would watch TV all the time is because at
the end of the day, before most people go to
sleep or when they should be sleeping, their defense system
goes down and they're more likely to support and advertise.
How about that fun.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Fact like that?
Speaker 6 (25:00):
But the issue is is I don't know if I
could see it, but that's just that's that's here or there.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
How many fows am I hold? How many fingers am
I holding.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Up the number one? Oh wait a minute, I can't.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Not to actually too, yeah, lose again the king? Yeah, well,
what's the point of this year. Yes, well the.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Point of my call, mister Maller. Since I'll be sleeping
during the primetime game here Thursday with the Lion versus
the Green Bay.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Pect Cheese, I just that's a good game. That is
a good game on Thursday night.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Well, I'll be sleeping yet again, that's why I work
good night, so I have to sleep sometimes. I wanted
to get your take before I lose Ben Johnson and
my defensive coordinator to the Bears or to the Cowboys.
Do I have any chance with our depleted defense to
have a chancefer a win on Thursday?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yes, because you getting Yeah, well, calm down, take a breath.
So yeah, I have not handicapped the game completely. But
h in terms of actually winning the game, whether they
cover the spread or not is a different conversation. The
spread's not that big. But yeah, the Lions, because they
(26:20):
can outscore the Peckers defense isn't that great. They can
outscore the Packers in that way, and so they can
win the game. But yeah, listen, this is this is
the the thing you've been waiting for, Christopher your life.
The Lions are a monster in the NFC. That's them
in Philadelphia. Those are the top two teams in the NFC,
and there's no one really all that close. So you're
in good shape. All right, I gotta go go away.
(26:42):
Thank you. Let's say hello to Dick in Dayton. Who
I am? I hearing this? Probably he has a Jamis
Winston Jersey on right now. Hello Dick and Dayton. If
I was any better, I'd be a Watson, but not
Deshaun Watson. And you should never start another game for
(27:02):
the Browns.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Yeah, and you know, I called up. I called up
one of the channels. They've cheated the Browns. Couple of
the Browns games down here, Ben, I didn't get to
see the game.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
You didn't see the game. It was on load. It
wasn't on in data because you don't have access to cable,
I guess.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
But I usually get you know, when they're on CBS
or Fox.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, you know Fox, I got you. I got you. Yeah,
that's unfortunate. You listen on the radio.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Yeah I do. I missed Jimmy Donovan though so much.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah. Well, I give give Andrew Ceciliano a chance. He's our.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
He pretty good, he's pretty good. I don't know what
happened to them.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Everybody, did you did you call? Did you call Titus
after the game?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
No?
Speaker 5 (27:50):
That was late. That was a right game.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Okay, ye told him.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
I'll call him this week. But you know what I
was going to say, Uh, Tom Brenneman came back. I
think he's gonna be doing sports now. We talked last
night about fifteen minutes. We were talking about the fan
base and he said, my dad loved you, Dick, and
he's a pretty good guy. He does I forget some
(28:15):
of the college games now.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
So Brenneman's doing talk radio in Ohio. Huh, yeah, he's
like him. I did. We used to have him on,
but I did the radio version with Looney on The
Blitz on Sundays. Brenneman was a regular on the show
and he was always a good interview. And he's got
he's got the pipes and all that. And yeah, I'm
glad he's getting a second chance. There.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
I'm thinking maybe just I thought that was terrible about
that fight in the Ohio state game.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
You know, Oh yeah, well what about your buck guys there?
My god, what a tough weekend. They'd no offense against
uh not a good Michigan team.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
No, you know, everybody wants Zach Taylor going now because
of Bengal they keep losing and the Browns every day.
It's just everybody's on the bandwagon, you.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Know, just so are you now? Are you on the Jamis?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Are you on the Jameis Winston Marshall, you think it's
just okay? You're not up to Bernie kozars status?
Speaker 5 (29:19):
No? No, no?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
What about Brian's site? What about him?
Speaker 5 (29:22):
I like Bryan's site and Bernie.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I miss b I know we all he's still alive,
but we miss burn.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
I just wanted to tell you I'm all dressed up
the summers who called me and I missed a couple
of shows last week. I forgot anotherly so I guess yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
We mentioned we were worried about you and and people.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
When I have a take about the Browns, Dick, they say,
I don't care what you think. I want to know
what Dick thinks is that's what they tell me.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, I really think that, you know, well, you go
from well the hero to I just think it's part
of the play. Hawayn and management this year and.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah two years, Dick, you know you just don't have
a chance.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
I don't think he got a chance Sunday, the only
game I received them winning. I think they're going to
be about four and fourteen this year.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Wow, it's terrible and I gotta go, but thank you, Dick.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Bye, bye bye.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
Have a good day.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
There goes dicking day. Hello to Marcel in Brooklyn. Hello Marcel,
good morning Ben.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
Hello Rain.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Now hell yeah, I almost screwed you, almost screwed up.
It's hard to keep track. The names keep changing. But now, Marcel,
did you hear about this big trade that's being proposed.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
All in the NFL?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, yeah, this fun fact is for you. Oh yeah, no,
fun fact. Fun fact. Here we go, fun fact. Fun fact.
So some senators from Maryland, Ben Cardin and Chris van Holwin,
I believe in their names, they have proposed to trade.
And here's the trade. Are you ready for this, Marcel, Yes, it.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Is trade and everyone lives.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
So here's what DC gets.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Maryland senators proposing, uh, they're not opposing, a bill that
would allow the district to redevelop RFK Stadium the site
at RFK as a new home for the commanders. But
here's what Maryland would get. They would get one of Washington,
DC's two air National Guard squadrons. So you would trade
(31:33):
the National Guard actual fighter jets to allow an NFL
stadium to be built. Do you think that's a fair trade, Marcel, No, No,
that's a form representing the Washington commanders. No. But the
trade would be you get the military, you would get
(31:57):
commander jets, our actual fighter jets.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Yes, it is, Yes, it is.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Have you ever been in a fighter jet?
Speaker 3 (32:06):
No?
Speaker 5 (32:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Oh my father, my grandpa, who serves in the army.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I'm sure he did. Now, Marcell, can you introduce Cowboy
John Brad?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
He's online.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Can you say hello to Cowboy?
Speaker 5 (32:19):
Oh? We got the cowboy John Brad right now, and
we got the TV picks. It is, so, let's Cowboy

(38:19):
want to win these games and aren't hammered
Hello and welcome. It's our number four and our first
stop is sweet home Chicago, where the deep dish pizza
is good and the football is bad. The Bears would
they let Caleb Williams help select their next head coach?
Is that idea fair or foul? It's been talked about
(00:22):
in the Chicago media. Also, former Colts quarterback Andrew Luck
says part of his identity died when he retired hastily
from the NFL. Do you have any empathy for Andrew Luck?
And is there any advice to Patriots coach Girod Mayo
on his media faux paw If you will his media
(00:43):
faux paw. We'll get to that as well. All of
it's coming your way right now. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
It's a great time of the year, and here it
is our number four. Yeah, just go.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Why don't you just pick the coach?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah? What could go wrong?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Welco.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
We are in the a.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Eywhere hot on the case as we are here because
your ears deserve better. They do coast, the coast, border,
the motor and beyond on the mast and grandiosely powerful
microphones of fsr ammnating live from a flight a flight

said ten thousand times, he says morning Time tire Rack
(01:56):
dot Com the way tire Buying Show, b SO I
lead this hour from the ranks of Pro Football, Sweet
Home Chicago. And this is not dedicated to Eugene in
Chicago or euphim or the other guys that have been
(02:17):
active on the show from the Windy City, but a
follow up to the shakeup heard round the NFL the
Thanksgiving fire years. It really wasn't the Bears firing Matt Eberflus,
it was him firing himself, complete malfeasance at the end
of the game with the Lions, and Chicago still has
(02:37):
that time out in their back pocket. But this is
our obligatory malar monologue again about the Matt Iberflus removal
and what happens next. Now, we told you in a
previous episode of this show that the CEO of the
Bears who kept his job.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
He says, this is the number what job in the.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
And now there are prominent voices that are claiming what
needs to happen next for the Bears. Now what is so?
We're hearing that the chatter out of Chicago is this
is such an important hire that the person that should
help decide who the next coach of the Bears is
(03:24):
happens to be the starting quarterback, Caleb Williams that he
must be involved in the hiring process for the next
head coach. Now, Ryan Polls, the GM there in Chicago,
said that Caleb will be a major part of the conversation.
Thank you very much, Captain Obvious. We appreciate that. Now,
if you connect the dots, the implication is that Caleb
(03:48):
Williams should hand pick.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
The next head.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Coach of the Bears who replaces Matt Eberflus on the sidelines.
So let us discuss the question for the panel the
Chicago Bears allowing Caleb Williams to select the next head coach,
fair or foul, Fair or foul.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So I've got.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Ghostbusters entangled and spam and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to hitch our
wagon to the train, is what we're going to do.
So to lead off here, I am going to go.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Foul ball. This was an expedited booth.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Review foul ball, all right, so not a fairball.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Foul ball, it's just wrong. I would not allow.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I would not allow Patrick Mahomes, should Andy Reid retire,
I would not allow Mahomes to pick the next coach.
So if I'm not going to allow Mahomes to pick
the next coach of the Chiefs, why on God's green
earth would I allow Caleb Williams to pick the next
head coach of the Chicago Bears. And last I checked,
(05:08):
Caleb Williams is supposed to be the big man on campus.
He was the number one overall pick. And there are
a lot of people that believe he's the Savior, He's
the Messiah and all that, all knowing, all powerful, omnipresident.
But I have an unpopular opinion, Caler Williams, stay in
(05:28):
your lane. It's the great philosopher LeVar Ball taught me
years ago. Caleb Williams has not done a damn thing
that is worthy of being in a position to pick
the next coach. He is not. And again, I would
not allow Mahomes to do it, so why would I
allow Caleb Williams? And until proven otherwise, a prospect is
(05:53):
a suspect, and he's an unproven commodity.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
It's like who's the boss, who's the boss?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
We believe in the chain of command players play and
the coaches. They have this totally different job set. And
it's like I learned when I was a child watching
the original Ghostbusters and the advice from Egon he said,
I remember this when I was a child, to not
cross the streams. There's a stream of you're the quarterback,
(06:20):
and there's a stream if you're the coach. Otherwise every
molecule in your body will explode at the speed of light.
It just won't work out. Now, Do I think there's
a very good chance that Cliff Kingsbury gets the job
in Chicago? I do? I do, which will essentially be
allowing Caleb Williams to pick his next coach. Do I
(06:42):
think that'll work? I don't. All right. Now, Furthermore, we
now pivot to Northern California. It's where the football used
to be good and now it blows. But this is
not about the Niners. This is about Andrew Luck made
the luck be with you. So Andrew Luck was recently
named the general manager of the football program and is
(07:08):
alma mater, Stanford.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Now, I didn't even realize this was.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
A thing until Wog left ESPN to become the general
manager at his old college there. So I didn't know
this was a thing. But apparently it's a thing. I'm
waiting for Saddleback College to call me and I can
become the general manager of the Saddleback College football or
radio program. But some five years after Andrew Luck, it's
called like it is.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
He went awall. Now, he went a wall.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
He quit right before the twenty nineteen NFL season, just
a couple weeks before the season opener for the Colts.
He just couldn't handle it anymore. He melted down and
he quit on the team right before the season. He's
a quitter. Andrew Luck's a quitter. So anyway, he popped
up during the Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports
Radio and he lamented, what are you talking about? He
(07:58):
talked about the grieving period.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
He said that part of his identity died.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
The words that he used. So let's pause that part
right there.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Part of his identity dying.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
So let us discuss former Colts quarterback Andrew Luck back
in football now.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Kind of at Stanford.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
He says part of his identity died when he retired
from the NFL. Do you have empathy for Andrew Luck?
So that's going to be a no from me on
this side of the microphone.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Then maybe you do.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
You're a better person than me. I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Andrew Luck made a.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Choice, and really all life is is a series of choices, right,
the choices you make and then you have to make
other choices. And Andrew Luck decided at the worst possible
time to quit, and he made his bed of nails.
There is a proper way to do that. He did
not follow the proper etiquette and decided that he did
(09:00):
not want to follow that. And the way you quit
is at the end of a season. You don't quit
a couple weeks before the start of a season. He
left the Colt franchise out to dry and the season
ticket holders who paid money got bamboozled, and so Andrew
Locke was entangled in the football world. Now, if you
(09:27):
look at the clinical term psychologists use, the term in
meshment is what they term it. It's a way to
describe where the boundaries of the time space continue of you,
the boundaries of life between what you do and who
you are are blurred, that the individual identity loses importance
(09:51):
and meshment prevents the stable, independent sense of Stelff that
you are known for your job. But I will argue,
while we spend a lot of our time here talking
about athletes and sports because that's what we do, plausibly,
to me, it's no different than if you're a carpenter,
(10:13):
or you're a truck driver, or you're working at a restaurant,
and that's what your job is, and then you change careers,
whether it's your choice or you lose your job. There
is an adjustment period.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
There isn't. I mean, just that's what happens.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
That's called life, right, and so it's it's just Andrew Luck.
We know who he is, and I don't have empathy
for him because he totally botched that entire situation. It's embarrassing.
Last thing, we now go to New England.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
The only reason I'm bringing this up. The Patsies are
back to being the patches. They're three and ten.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They stink.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
But there is an amusing story I want to think
Jimmy from Maine. I don't know if Jimmy's ever called
the show. I don't think he has. But Jimmy sent
me this story and he thought I would like it,
and I did. And the story, I'll give you the
condensed version, out of an abundance of brevity, the condensed version.
(11:14):
So Jimmy Fermaine sent me the story, and he said
that a lot of the fans and the NFL media
types are upset with Gerard Mayo. Now what are the
upset about it? The upset about his coaching? Well, now
they figured the Patriots have a bad roster. They're giving
you a pass on that. No, no, they're upset because
Gerrod Mayo, multiple times this season, following Patriot losses, has
(11:39):
said consistently, if you take out blank, but if you
take out the defense or the special teams or that
offensive drive, were great, all right, So if you take
away that, it's sunshine and lollipops and seventy five degrees.
(12:02):
And so Mayos used the phrase regularly as a way
to explain why his team blows right, And so he
did it again after they lost to the Colts. Somehow,
Gerrod Mayo and that defense, he was the de facto
defensive coordinator, although we know Belichick was the real defense.
But anyway, Girod Mayo's defense allowed a nineteen play drive
(12:26):
to the Indianapolis Colts that was capped off by a
two point conversion touchdown. Complete breakdown of that unit, complete breakdown. So,
any advice, any advice to Patriot coach Girod Mayo on
his media dealings, if you will, So, yeah, I got
some advice. I talked for a living. Not well, but
(12:46):
I talked for a living. And one thing that I've
done is I try to mix it up. I avoid
word spam if you talk for a living, and if
you're the coach, you're the ambassador of an NFL team
when you talk for a living, falling into certain phrases,
these filler phrases echo chamber. It's verbal crack. It is
(13:12):
a crack in your language. Bad job by you, So
Mao says, if you take it out or take out blank,
it's just silly, like if I told you, hey, I
saw a pig and it had wings, and if a
pig had wings, it would fly.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
And you know, we used to on the playground.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
We used to say if you're If your aunt had
blank she would be you know your uncle I used
to say, say that is that banned down or if
that's band anyway, the margins are razor thin in the NFL,
and whatever magic dust the Patriots had was Bill Belichick,
(13:52):
but mostly Tom Brady and Lady Luck is no longer
on the side of New England. Lady Luck ain't walking
through that door. And if she is walking through that door,
she's wearing Kansas City Chiefs paraphernalia. She ain't wearing Patriot
paraphernilia anymore. Good teams, I know this is a gambler.
Good teams win close games. Bad teams lose close games.
(14:16):
There's also this myth that if you're a bad team,
you get blown out. There's this false belief that if
you lose a lot of games and they're close, that
you're somehow close to being a good team. And then
on the other side, because the Chiefs have won a
bunch of close games, that they're really not that good.
Neither one of those is accurate.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
There are examples of teams that win a bunch of
close games that you know are frauds, that you know
there will be a regression to the mean. So there's
that part of it. But as I like to say
as a gambler, good teams win games. Great teams cover
the spread. So if you're a great team, you cover
the spread. You don't worry about that at all. Anyway,
it is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like
(14:59):
to comment on any of this or anything that we
talked about earlier, maybe you were not with us, you
were sleeping or not listening. Bad job by you. We've
been here all night. Talked about a number of things
on the overnight, including a story bouncing around at the
Chicago Bears should could would contact the forty nine ers
about a trade for Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
The coach had a rant about that.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
That'll be up on the podcast. Also Tom Brady with
some comments on Colin Coward Show, where we talked about
changing the punishment for quarterbacks sliding late. Maybe they penalize
or fine quarterbacks who slide late. That in reaction to
Aziz al Shier getting suspended for three games, talked about
(15:43):
Dak Prescott giving endorsement to Mike McCarthy, did a rant
about that, and we'll take your calls on any of that,
right now eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox at
eight seven seven three sixty nine, also on X at
(16:04):
Ben Mahler Live, real time feedback. So a juicy update,
We've got that. And the NFL trade deadline has come
and gone. But there is an amazing trade that is
being considered involving some senators who are getting involved in
(16:27):
a very odd trade involving the NFL and an NFL team,
And I'll explain. We'll get to all that. Trust me,
that's a humdinger of a story. If you don't think
that's a humdinger of a story, you've got something wrong.
You've got something wrong. We'll get to that, and we
will do it next.

Lorena segments, and he also points out appendage is an
(18:56):
excellent word.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
So that's a that's a compliment, Lorena, thank you.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
You know we talked about that lexicon earlier. Ben. Yeah,
always trying to expand your your vocabulary and add new
words and phrases.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And all that, and I'm all about it.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I try to learn at least one new word a week,
but I usually end up learning more. And one wonderful
thing about a radio show is when you mispronounce a word.
As I point out all the time, the one thing
the consumer of live radio loves more than anything is
(19:34):
correcting the clown on the radio. You well, you mean well,
some don't have talent. It's just exceptional though, right, it's
their girl, right, as the serial taught me when I
was a child. For example, there was a term, i'll
(19:54):
give you an example, I used for a long time
involving the cheating ah one one thousand and two one
thousand holes. And I use it for a while, and
several people reached out to me and said, hey, stupid,
you're you're not pronouncing it read.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I screwed it up, and uh and I know we well,
how do you anything?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Explained it to me and I'm all right, And I
called it the den of inequity, and it's the den
of iniquity. So I screwed that up and they corrected me.
They were ready to send me to the Gulag, but
fortunately I was able to avoid going to Siberia. That
I avoided that. I will take some calls here I am.
(20:41):
I am waiting for my board. My board has not
been reset, so I'm waiting for my board to be reset.
Then we will take some pocals. I did want to
mention this though, while I await that. Uh. The story
early in the day, the folks over there at TMZ
Harvey levin TMZ, they had a story that claimed that
one of OJ Simpson's bodyguards had a recording a confessional.
(21:05):
Did you see this confessional where Oj admitted to the
murder the two murders back in Brentwood back in the day.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And so this guy got.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
In some legal trouble in Minnesota, in Bloomington, Minnesota, and
there was a bag that was confiscated by the cops
and there was a drive on there that the police
had that supposedly contained a confessional by the OJ who's
now dead, but a confessional of the murders. Well, it's
(21:37):
kind of a big deal for those that were around
when that happens. Was like the biggest story going thirty
years ago as a massive story. And so the LAPD
said that in a joint statement with the Minnesota Police Department.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
That they did not find any evidence.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
They have looked over and heard the audio on the
m drive, the thumb drive, and there was nothing there
with OJ that they obtained. No murder confession has been found,
I said the City of Bloomington. Is a statement by
the LAPD. The City of Bloomington, Minnesota Police Department examined
(22:15):
the drives in question and determined they contained nothing in
terms of evidence, in value, any of that. And so
the guys were like, well, you know, LAPD hasn't actually
listened to it. They've never been in possession of the drives. However,
(22:35):
they say that there's no no confession. So if you
thought there was psych yeah, smells fishy.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
No, No, OJ, he did it right, I bet you
hay that help hit people helping him out.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
But he after the fact, like if.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
The glob don't fit. You must have quit. Great lines ever,
Johnny Cochrane back, He's dead. Uh. Shapiro is still alive
though I think I think he's alive. He's the only
one that f lee. Bailey's dead. Think of the OJ attorneys.
Remember Kim Kardashian's dad also dead. He was one of
(23:15):
the like OJ's buddies. Isn't OJ Chloe Kardashian's dad. Uh?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Well, that's the Internet.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
The Internet says that, and if the Internet says it,
it's got to be true. Must be true. I'd like
the Internet says I'm worth like ten million dollars. I'd
like that to be true. Can that be true? Why
can't that be should be? If OJ fathered the one
of the Kardashians, why can't I be worth ten million?
(23:42):
It says it on the Internet. I'd like that to
be true. Why can't that be true. Let's go to
the phones.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Let's say hello to legally.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Blind Christopher who's in the Carolina Hello Christopher.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Mister ma mister Maller. It just goes to prove that's
why you have all this money and decide to continue
to work twenty five years of Midnight hours. You always
want the best time to express yourself and this is
why with Lorena's helping makes it such an uplifting program,
but more importantly, not.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
A whole lot of time out of time. Let me explain, Christopher,
and I've told the management at this company, Fox Sports
Rado iHeart.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
They don't listen to me. But it has been proven.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
That the people that listen late at night or early
in the morning are more likely to support advertisers buy
products than people.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
That work during the day that by the nighttime hours.
I remember reading I read a.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Book about infomercials years ago, and they said that the
reason they were so successful back in the day when
people would watch TV all the time is because at
the end of the day, before most people go to
sleep or when they should be sleeping, their defense system
goes down and they're more likely to support and advertise.
How about that fun.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Fact like that?
Speaker 6 (25:00):
But the issue is is I don't know if I
could see it, but that's just that's that's here or there.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
How many fows am I hold? How many fingers am
I holding.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Up the number one? Oh wait a minute, I can't.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Not to actually too, yeah, lose again the king? Yeah, well,
what's the point of this year. Yes, well the.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Point of my call, mister Maller. Since I'll be sleeping
during the primetime game here Thursday with the Lion versus
the Green Bay.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Pect Cheese, I just that's a good game. That is
a good game on Thursday night.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Well, I'll be sleeping yet again, that's why I work
good night, so I have to sleep sometimes. I wanted
to get your take before I lose Ben Johnson and
my defensive coordinator to the Bears or to the Cowboys.
Do I have any chance with our depleted defense to
have a chancefer a win on Thursday?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yes, because you getting Yeah, well, calm down, take a breath.
So yeah, I have not handicapped the game completely. But
h in terms of actually winning the game, whether they
cover the spread or not is a different conversation. The
spread's not that big. But yeah, the Lions, because they
(26:20):
can outscore the Peckers defense isn't that great. They can
outscore the Packers in that way, and so they can
win the game. But yeah, listen, this is this is
the the thing you've been waiting for, Christopher your life.
The Lions are a monster in the NFC. That's them
in Philadelphia. Those are the top two teams in the NFC,
and there's no one really all that close. So you're
in good shape. All right, I gotta go go away.
(26:42):
Thank you. Let's say hello to Dick in Dayton. Who
I am? I hearing this? Probably he has a Jamis
Winston Jersey on right now. Hello Dick and Dayton. If
I was any better, I'd be a Watson, but not
Deshaun Watson. And you should never start another game for
(27:02):
the Browns.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Yeah, and you know, I called up. I called up
one of the channels. They've cheated the Browns. Couple of
the Browns games down here, Ben, I didn't get to
see the game.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
You didn't see the game. It was on load. It
wasn't on in data because you don't have access to cable,
I guess.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
But I usually get you know, when they're on CBS
or Fox.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, you know Fox, I got you. I got you. Yeah,
that's unfortunate. You listen on the radio.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Yeah I do. I missed Jimmy Donovan though so much.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah. Well, I give give Andrew Ceciliano a chance. He's our.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
He pretty good, he's pretty good. I don't know what
happened to them.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Everybody, did you did you call? Did you call Titus
after the game?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
No?
Speaker 5 (27:50):
That was late. That was a right game.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Okay, ye told him.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
I'll call him this week. But you know what I
was going to say, Uh, Tom Brenneman came back. I
think he's gonna be doing sports now. We talked last
night about fifteen minutes. We were talking about the fan
base and he said, my dad loved you, Dick, and
he's a pretty good guy. He does I forget some
(28:15):
of the college games now.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
So Brenneman's doing talk radio in Ohio. Huh, yeah, he's
like him. I did. We used to have him on,
but I did the radio version with Looney on The
Blitz on Sundays. Brenneman was a regular on the show
and he was always a good interview. And he's got
he's got the pipes and all that. And yeah, I'm
glad he's getting a second chance. There.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
I'm thinking maybe just I thought that was terrible about
that fight in the Ohio state game.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
You know, Oh yeah, well what about your buck guys there?
My god, what a tough weekend. They'd no offense against
uh not a good Michigan team.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
No, you know, everybody wants Zach Taylor going now because
of Bengal they keep losing and the Browns every day.
It's just everybody's on the bandwagon, you.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Know, just so are you now? Are you on the Jamis?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Are you on the Jameis Winston Marshall, you think it's
just okay? You're not up to Bernie kozars status?
Speaker 5 (29:19):
No? No, no?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
What about Brian's site? What about him?
Speaker 5 (29:22):
I like Bryan's site and Bernie.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I miss b I know we all he's still alive,
but we miss burn.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
I just wanted to tell you I'm all dressed up
the summers who called me and I missed a couple
of shows last week. I forgot anotherly so I guess yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
We mentioned we were worried about you and and people.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
When I have a take about the Browns, Dick, they say,
I don't care what you think. I want to know
what Dick thinks is that's what they tell me.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, I really think that, you know, well, you go
from well the hero to I just think it's part
of the play. Hawayn and management this year and.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah two years, Dick, you know you just don't have
a chance.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
I don't think he got a chance Sunday, the only
game I received them winning. I think they're going to
be about four and fourteen this year.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Wow, it's terrible and I gotta go, but thank you, Dick.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Bye, bye bye.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
Have a good day.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
There goes dicking day. Hello to Marcel in Brooklyn. Hello Marcel,
good morning Ben.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
Hello Rain.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Now hell yeah, I almost screwed you, almost screwed up.
It's hard to keep track. The names keep changing. But now, Marcel,
did you hear about this big trade that's being proposed.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
All in the NFL?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, yeah, this fun fact is for you. Oh yeah, no,
fun fact. Fun fact. Here we go, fun fact. Fun fact.
So some senators from Maryland, Ben Cardin and Chris van Holwin,
I believe in their names, they have proposed to trade.
And here's the trade. Are you ready for this, Marcel, Yes, it.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Is trade and everyone lives.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
So here's what DC gets.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Maryland senators proposing, uh, they're not opposing, a bill that
would allow the district to redevelop RFK Stadium the site
at RFK as a new home for the commanders. But
here's what Maryland would get. They would get one of Washington,
DC's two air National Guard squadrons. So you would trade
(31:33):
the National Guard actual fighter jets to allow an NFL
stadium to be built. Do you think that's a fair trade, Marcel, No, No,
that's a form representing the Washington commanders. No. But the
trade would be you get the military, you would get
(31:57):
commander jets, our actual fighter jets.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Yes, it is, Yes, it is.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Have you ever been in a fighter jet?
