Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, our three of
our radio show in the podcast format. Boy, do we
thank you for that? Thank you, thank you? Think I
hope you subscribe. Are you subscribed? Have you subscribed to
the podcast? You need to do that. We need you
as a subscriber. It comes right to your audio device.
Every single day we have a new podcast. You'll also
(00:22):
get access to the Fifth Hour podcast, which is a
separate podcast from this show. So here in hour number three,
what are the chances that Zeke Elliott goes back to Dallas?
There are conflicting reports on the free agent running back
Zeke Elliott has multiple options according to one report, believe
it or not, and you are now a gifted advisor.
(00:44):
What does Zeke Elliott need to turn his career around?
It's going the wrong direction. We'll talk about all that,
some hot cowboy talk and more. We'll also have the
Mallord riddle of the day here in our number three,
Can you go home again? It's a question many have asked,
and another player in the professional sports world asking you
(01:07):
right now. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mathers Show. We are in the end everywhere,
never a bore. Well, maybe use said on that. As
we are hanging out like roommates coast to coast, border
(01:27):
the border, and beyond on the vast and immeasurably powerful
microphones of fs are emanating live from the pursuit the
trivial pursuit of jock talk. We are broadcasting live from
the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help
you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
(01:50):
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tire
raq dot com the way tire buying shit be. So
we are now going to shift gears and go back
to our roots here football talking football in May and
that is our lead from the waiver wire. Now that
(02:10):
we have moved past the draft and the fifth year
option holiday, it's now time to look at the scrap
heap of football, the junkyard at the very top of
the pile of trash. Zeke Elliott remember him, Oh, he
was a big star back in the day with Dallas.
So if you've not heard the latest on this, he
(02:32):
is still available. If you like him, He's not on layaway.
You can be part of the fun with Zeke yell
And if you haven't heard. There's conflicting reports, and anytime
you get conflicting reports, good talk radio follows. So there's
conflicting reports here. Jerry Jones very publicly has gone on
(02:52):
the record of leaving the door open for Zeke Elliott
to return to Dallas Bay. But simultaneously there are reports
indicating that Zeke is not going to come back. In fact,
he's said to have multiple opportunities to find employment elsewhere.
And Zeke spent seven long years in Jerry's world, and
(03:18):
he had over ten thousand yards and eighty touchdowns along
the way, all kinds of stats for really good years.
And then right around the time, right around the time
the ink on the contract dried, the Mega Mega Mega contract,
when he went on a tropical vacation. That is about
the time things stopped adding up. That's about the time
(03:40):
where the boat started to capsize, the Zeke boat. So
that's where we are on that. Let us discuss the question,
what are the chances that Zeke Elliott does go back
to Dallas. Now, that would certainly be notable, right, that
would be something that would get people all joe if
you were to go back to that. So I'm gonna
(04:01):
set the odds on this being realistic, and I'm not
mister negative. I'm mister positive, So I'll be positive on this.
I will say plus five thousand, plus five thousands where
I'm going, which implies a two percent chance. Two percent. Yes,
(04:22):
I've got bubbles, windshield wipers, and mousetrap, and we'll combine
all of these things together, commit them to memory, and
we'll put them all together and we'll connect three. So,
first of all, my initial fighter, Zeke Elliott, is not
walking back through that door. Now the door is closed. However,
(04:44):
I'm leaving a two percent opportunity because the door is
not dead bolted. Good luck trying to pry it open.
While it's not dead bolton, it is closed. You are
going to need Heaven forbid. A battering ram is what
you're going to need. And Zeke he has to go
somewhere else down the dusty Wine Mucker Road. As Johnny
(05:07):
Cash sung back back in the day, that's the naked truth.
It's best for both sides. The cowboys went into the
town square, and with Zeke Elliott in front of everyone
in the town square, they pants Zeke Kelly. Now I'm
not saying he didn't deserve it because he had been
going the wrong direction. And that's the painful truth. But
(05:29):
he was given the pink slip. He was canned, he
was terminated. He walked the plank. How every want to
say it. The Cowboys added they were running back Deuce.
They added the deuce Deuce Vaughan from Kansas State. He
was a sixth round pick. And well, you're a sixth
round pick. You're not that great. But in the running
back game, okay, but this is a bubbles situation, and
(05:55):
what does that mean? Dallas burst the bubble of Zeke Elliott.
The bubble of trust has been broken. Jerry Jones decided
to move on now. He's like, well, maybe because Jerry's
a promoter, he's a hype man. He's like, maybe I'll
all go back and bring him back here and we
can have him play in our locker room. No, no,
(06:18):
Jerry took the locker away. Jerry Jones no longer. It's
like a breakup, right, Jerry decided to move on. He
no longer is making eye contact. He doesn't trust you.
He took your stuff away. You went from a relationship
then you were kind of friends with benefits. That whole
thing and now Tony Pollard has replaced you as the
(06:43):
new trophy in the backfield for Jerry Jones, and the
Cowboys are not texting Zeke back. They deleted all the
photos on social media and they are playing favorites and
Tony Pollard is the favorite now. Second, So let's address
the Komodo dragon in the room. Zeke Elliott reportedly has
multiple options around the NFL teams that are interested in
(07:08):
bringing him a board. Believe it or not, so I
am agnostic on this one. We are jaded realists here,
non believers, and Zeke is no longer. It's kind of
like in the restaurant world, you know how you're like
a three star Michelin chef and you get that rating.
(07:32):
And for a while, Zeke was a Michelin star chef.
Now he's a short order cook at the Greasy Spoon.
That's where he is, you know, in the kitchen terminology.
To use that same train of thought, he is on
the back burner, not a priority. We're not talking about
a priority here. We're talking about a backup. He'd be
(07:53):
a backup running back. And how do we know this?
Back in March, Zeke his posse took advantage of a
useful idiot in the media, and they planted a story.
How do we know it was a plan? Well, let
me give you the story. So this is back in March,
so a couple months ago. He used Adam Schefter as
(08:14):
a mega MEGAMEGA phone as a megaphone to announce that
Zeke Elliott had quote narrowed his options about where to play.
You remember the teams that were mentioned, the Ben Goals,
the Eagles, and the Jets. One problem and something that
the former President Trump would say a fake news. The Jets, Eagles,
(08:38):
and Bengals have all rejected Zeke Elliott. Cincinnati and New
York drafted running backs in the fifth round. Philadelphia traded
for DeAndre Swift from the Lions. So at this point,
where are we again? The story was that there are
multiple teams interested in Zeke Elliott. I don't believe it.
(09:01):
I think it's a lie. I believe it's a lie
my opinion. So where is the Zeke Elliott free agent campaign?
It is turned to windshield wipers. The windshield wipers strategy
where you put a bunch of flyers on cars in
the parking lot at Walmart or Costco or Sam's Club,
(09:21):
and then you just hope that some people bite get
a little business out of it. I say, just make
an offer, please, so I don't have to give this
away for free. On offer up. All right, final thought,
So you are a gifted advisor. I've now made you.
You're not just a consumer of audio content. You are
now a gifted advisor. Congratulations, you are a gifted advisor.
(09:45):
What does Zeke Elliott need to turn his fledgling career around?
He appears to be behind the eight ball. So other
than the obvious, which is do better, be better, my
advice I will play the role gifted advisor, is you
need to upgrade. You need to modernize. You got to
(10:05):
bring your game up to code, build a better mouse trap.
At this point, if I said what is Zeke Elliott? Zeke,
and I give it SIDEI because you're like, he's not
that good. He's a plodding back. He plays slowly. He's
like a full back, a specialist, a goal line, short
yardage guy. So Zeke, he needs a career resurrection. Easier
(10:32):
said than done, because once you've lost the speed which
he had in Ohio State when he was younger, the
breakaway speed that he had. Once you've lost that the quickness,
how does one get that back. There's only so much
tinkering that you can do. Dallas fell out of favor.
It's not like the Cowboys didn't try to fiddle with
(10:52):
Zeke and get something out of him, and all he
got was peanuts. All they got was a bunch of heartache.
And so with that going forward, what happens next? The
first thing you do is is there a team that
is legitimately interesting? There's no obvious teams, But I always
(11:14):
default to nepotism when in doubt. It's you know, I
work in radio. Radio is a very small community and
getting a lot smaller these days. But I know people
around the here. So if I needed something, I know
people I can call. But it's nepotism people I've worked
with in the past, or people I know from different places.
But it's just like your job whatever. That's how it works.
(11:34):
So keep an eye on Tampa and Dallas. Those are
the only two teams that are rather obvious or Tampa
and the Chargers rather not Dallas. Dallas is out, but
because they have former Cowboy connections. You got Kellen Moore,
who's the boss offensive coordinator, Skip Pete, who was with
the Cowboys, is the running back coach in Tampa. So
it's a case of it's not what you know, it's
(11:57):
who you know. It is the Ben Mahler Show. If
you'd like to comment on anything I just said, anything

the Malard Riddle of the day, the Malor Riddle of

The Malarre of the Day. Marcus Smart of your Celtics
was spotted snacking on blank after the win over the
seventy six ers. That is the question. What is the answer?
(14:29):
Bean boot Maker Bob says, some Philly cheese steaks was
the answer. Who else do we have? Justin and Cincinnati's
going with Chinese food, dill pickles, fried dill pickles with
ranch dressing from the Sawman, Well, that would be horrific.
Who the hell would want to do that? Late night
drug tester says, some saltwater taffy is the answer. Milkman
(14:55):
Mike and Colorado going with chicken fries as his selection.
Who else do we have? Page down, page down courtesy
Flesher's going with the booty O's, he says, is the
answer there, You're actually not not far off. Just Josh
in Cincinnati says cheetos Dorito's and chili cheese Freeto's is
(15:18):
the Holy Trinity. Ferg Dog says the jolly green Giant,
now that Marcus Smart's hair has turned green. Ramen Oreo
Cookies guessed by Donkey Sausage Page down, page down, Sir
Scratchoff says blooney salad was the answer. Scott and Rhode
Island had a very creative answer, but I don't know
(15:40):
that we'll make the air. Luke the Vending Guy went
with Lizzo as his answer. Page down, Alf the Alien
opiner says he enjoys a bougie designer soda. Marcus Smart
does after playoff wins chill pills. Guessed by Ike and Roseville, Minnesota.
(16:01):
Miguel on Fire says he was having the snack that
I had to eat a couple of years ago, Rocky
Mountain oysters. Boy, that is disgusting. Brings back some bad
memories of Rica also went with cheese steak Areka. In Minnesota.
Bobby Knight was guessed by Johnny Q. It's interesting that
he would be snacking on Bobby Knight Calligan. Tim in
Michigan going with Ben's Pretzels has the answer. Eddie, do
(16:23):
you have an answer to the Mallard Riddle of the day?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Yes, delicious cinnamon rolls we were talking.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
About the other day. Yeah, we were talking about those,
but unfortunately that's incorrect, Eddie. Marcus Smart of the Celtics
was spotted snacking on a box of his own cereal.
Did you know Marcus Smart has his own cereal? I
didn't know this local Now it's called Wicked Smart's is
what it's called. Yeah, the same people that made Flutey
(16:51):
f you know, the Flutey flakes and yeah, so they
made the cereal for Marcus Smart. They've got a whole
wing of their business where they just make cereal brand.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
What would your cereal be called?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Ben oh, Mallard marshmallows? Right, come on, it's obvious. What
would yours be called? Eddie Eddio's Eddios?
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Yeah, that would work, Roberto's Roberto's.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yea, this is your dad is Eddie's thing? Coop? What
would your cereal be called? Coop? The loops Coop? That
could be Coops was gonna?
Speaker 7 (17:21):
I would say Cooper Crunch, but that that's that sounds better.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I kind of like Cooper Cooper Crunch. That's good.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Uh anyway, Coop crunch. Maybe a little short, short, little bit. Yeah.
In marketing, you want it short, you don't want it long.
Jeff and Tulsa writes, and he says, Deuce Vaughan is
going to be one of the shortest players in NFL history.
He's so hard to find, and he's so powerful in
his lower body, screams and counters. Okay, well, if that's
the case, watch out those little bugs on the rug.
(17:51):
You have a long career in the NFL. Be very
productive as a smaller running back. We've seen a bunch
of them over the years. Let's go to the phones.
We'll say all over to Jeff, who's in Minnesota and
he is up next year on the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Hello, Jeff, what's up man?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
We hope the ratings are up, Jeff, We hope the
ratings are up.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Well, I'm gonna do what I can to help that.
I got a lot of competition with all these goofy
collars you got calling from Minnesota. I'm upset. I'm upset
because I got officiate one of my niece's wedding on
your meet and greet. Yeah, I look. I've been looking

I've a listener, I've been a listener of your show
for probably ten years.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Oh wow, that's a long time.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I've been holding a couple of times on game shows
and of course I failed, and I'm yeah, you don't

Speaker 4 (19:21):
Yeah, but I'm gonna keep the guys in mind. And uh,

You don't sleep.

Then I then I catch up on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
We're living the same life, Jeff. That's pretty much what
I do during the week. I try to sleep a
little more on the weekends, but during the week I
get four or five hours. That's it. That's all I need. Yeah,
interesting to take. We want to take the oath here,
you want to do the oath? Yes, all right, this

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Okay, right now, well, try not to do that. We
need all the members we can get it. You are
a sergeant in arms. We are a mostly peaceful organization
of Malad Militia. But occasionally we have to go to
cyber warfare, and we don't like to do that, but
sometimes we have to do it when people trash my
good name. But thank you. Be safe out there, have
a fun time at the wedding. You're going to, Jeff,
(21:30):

in Minnesota, a sworn in active duty member of the
Malord Militia.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
Bali Foosco here with Tony Fusco. Of course, you know
us as the host of the number one rated Bali.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
And Tony Fusco.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
Right now, we all know you sick and tired of
these stupid sports shows where the hosts say stupid things
like Tom Brady's the goat.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Or Lebron James is good at basketball, which he is
clearly not.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
See.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
We give you smart takes, and we also bring on
so called famous guests from across the sports world and
show them why we know much more than they built.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
You're off the show.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Listen to the Folly and Tony Fusco Show on the
iHeart Radio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Now bring this up because it does kind of relate
to our show. As you well know, Ben, when we
do our lame jokes of the week, there is a
certain musician who is very hard.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, very talented, young lady who very proud of herself,
and she likes everyone to know that she's large and
in jarred.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Well, apparently a former NHL player, Pik Suban, who is
now an analyst for ESPN, under fire for making it
lizen joke on the air. I don't know if you
saw this or not. Thanks to our guy in the
Enchanted Forest for passing this long. They were talking about
the Panthers maple Leaf series and apparently one of the hosts,
John Bucci Gross said that Toronto is gonna need to
(23:14):
pack a lunch for this matchup, and then p K responded,
maybe a Lizzo sized lunch.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Ey, Hey, that's lame. You should have sent that the
lame jokes every Friday. I saw the story.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I got the typical response you would expect on social media.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
How dare you? First you say a joke? But my
first thought is you can get this story literally over anything,
because at any given time, whether they're real or bots
on Twitter, there are people that disagree with everything everything.
So if you want to get a story, you can
get a story. You can do it. It's who Lizzo
(23:56):
brags about how fat she is? How who would care?
Why would think she cares? She's part of who she is, right.
She likes to brag about it, that she can wear
whatever she wants, whenever she wants, and that's her thing,
and she's you know, there's a bunch of people that
love that, and then they think that's great. And so
I don't see what the problem is. I don't think
anyone's really that upset by it. I think it's fake.
(24:18):
I think that's fake news, Eddie, That's what I think.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
It's all fake news far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You know, it's not fake. Max Schurzer, who I just
saw this. His spin rate was down dramatically as he
returned from his suspension for cheating. What woe?
Speaker 8 (24:37):
What?
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
That would be so great? Oh, I would love this
so much. If I can bust the balls of all
my friends who are Mets fans, if this is the
new mac Schuzer, that the only way he's any good
is cheating. The only way he can get guys out
is to cheat with doctor and the baseball. God give
me that. I need that in my life. And we've
(25:02):
got that other cheater, Justin Verlander, the ex cheating a
hole who's gonna make his debut, I believe is pushed
back to today, right, I think today's he's gonna make
his debut.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Yeah, today, that's correct for.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
The Mets against his old team. Man alive. It is
the Ben Mahler Show. As we continue on, and we're
gonna have coming up in a couple of minutes here
we are going to have asked Ben, your questions are answered,
but a quick around the room, so Lebron James do
a little round robin here. Lebron James had a premonition
this week. He says that the Lakers. The Lakers are
(25:40):
going to retire Anthony Davis's jersey. Lebron said that I
think I think they've retired twelve jerseys. You think, so
I'm gonna go first. I actually agree with Lebron James.
I believe they will retire Anthony Davis's number because that's
what the Lakers doubt. They're addicted the retiring numbers, just
(26:00):
like the Yankees. That's what they do. Roberto, what say you, Roberto?
Speaker 10 (26:06):
Yeah, after the Lakers win the title this year, definitely,
definitely either definitely, that's that's hell by you, that's.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
A tell by your coop. Do you think they will
retire Anthony Davis's number?
Speaker 7 (26:20):
Yeah, when they win the championship though, okay, both you
guys who have two championships?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
He has none right now, there are no Yeah, he
has one.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
But you sound like idiot because you look at and
it says that.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
There's a championship in Orlando at a resort at Disneyland.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Well, it happened, a champion, it happened, you can he
was there to see crying about it happened.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
But it's not being well in Guardiana, man, Well in
Guardiana plays Manuel in Guardiana.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
There he is, And hell, yes, they will be retiring
ad especially not because.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
They win a championship, because they haven't won.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Next year, Oh no, we're gonna We're gonna go for
number three next year because we won in Play twenty. Hey,
real quick, So I was per using Twitter.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Recently right right across the artist formerly known as a
sling shot in Minnesota. Hey, have you ever gotten a
load of this guy, Benny? He has why stay syndrome,
kind of like Jason Schmidt the whole.
Speaker 8 (27:33):

Speaker 7 (30:02):
All right, Ben, We're gonna start with the question from
Chip and the Cues. It's an interesting one because I
don't think anybody on this crew eats salads, but he
wants to know what is your favorite salad dressing. His
is French.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, so I don't eat salad dressing with salad, but
I like Thousand Island on my burger occasionally, and that
I think it's called Ken's honey mustard sauce, which is
like a salad dressing which is amazing, really good, really
good honey mustard sauce. So I do like salad dressing,
but the lettuce ruins it for me, so I like
(30:40):
to eat it with other things.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
What about you, Eddie, I eat plenty of salads, believe
or not. I mean I look like I do. But
but all the stuff on there, No, I'm also I
would pick Thousand Island as well.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
But are you the guy that eats the salad but
you put like a pound of chicken on there, and
some fries and some other stuff in the.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Salad, chicken.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
On top of what about you? Cool?
Speaker 7 (31:07):
We're skipping Roberto today.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Roberto, Robert, go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
I do eat salad from time to time.
Speaker 10 (31:13):
I love the caesar Salad's probably my favorite caesar salad.
And uh, you know, I'll make I'll make like try
tips sometimes and I'll throw the tri tip in so
some of that sliced try tip into my caesar salad.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
You're eating steak with some some vegetables.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Yeah, caesar salad, that's my favorite, all right?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Cool.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
As a kid, it was exclusively ranch dressing. I wouldn't
have salad with anything else. But these days I like
a lot of salad dressings. But I think I would
lean towards you know, some sort of like uh like
blue blueberry pomegranate vinigarrette or something like that. Yeah, yeah,
(31:51):
you know anything like that, like you know some some
sort of fruity delicious viniagrette.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
What is next year?
Speaker 4 (31:57):
We have?
Speaker 7 (31:58):
All right, we're gonna go over to We're gonna go
to Donkey Sausage. He wants to ask everybody Donkey Sausage.
How often do you get your hair cut?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Well, back when I had hair, I gotta cut a lot.
But I know I usually I get trimmed. I cut
my own hair. Now I gotta figure I have so
little hair I can cut my own hair. So I
do it like once every month or month and a
half or so.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
What about you, Eddie, I actually just got a haircut
earlier in the day, and.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
You got a barber shop. Or do you do it yourself?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
No, my wife's cousin. Oh does it friend of the family. Yeah,
probably about every four weeks.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
No, I don't do it that often. It's a little
more than that.
Speaker 10 (32:43):
What about you, Roverto, Oh, I love wearing hats, so
like I when I wear I have too much hair
bothers me.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
So I cut my hair every Friday or Saturday. I
just raise week.
Speaker 10 (32:52):
Yeah, cut it myself Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
It's not that hard.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
No, it's pretty simple.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Yeah, what about you cool?
Speaker 7 (33:01):
I also got a haircut earlier today. I would say
about every every six weeks.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Okay, yeah about that, give or take. Sometimes if I'm lazy,
go longer. But I look all the shovel. What's next?
It's ask Ben your questions, our answers for the rest
of the hour. Ferg dog once, why Fergie?
Speaker 7 (33:25):
I would imagine this is just a question for you.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Make sure you massage Brian's shoulders. Okay.
Speaker 7 (33:30):
He wants to know does Don Martin really and everything
he says with my man.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I don't know, he doesn't. But but let's just say
that the impersonations that we all do, and Petros does
our spot on that. You know, there's people in life
that are just easy to imitate, you know what I mean,
certain people like Don Don's I've known him for twenty
years and he's.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
I can I can add to this for everybody.
Speaker 7 (34:01):
Yeah, sure, our boss.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
You want to rip our boss? Go ahead? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (34:06):
No, because I had never met Don Marin, right, And
then there was a there was a thing last year
at a local shoe store here, and uh there was
it was like to me one of the to me
one of the Dodger players, and I heard a voice
and I'm like, oh, that must be Don Martin, And yeah,
sure enough it was Don Martin. So the impersonations, I'm
pretty spot on.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
How many times do you think in my twenty years
have I met Don Martin?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Oh Man, Maybe once or twice, maybe twice twice.
Speaker 7 (34:40):
Yeah, I've met it more than that.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yeah. I usually I don't talk to Don. I deal
with Scott more than Don. But I'll deal with Don
when I have like my contract stuff, I have to
deal with him so and he'll usually uh, he'll man,
you gotta come to me sooner. With this moment, I'm like,
I'm sorry, Dot, I didn't realize any What what is
next year's ask? Ben? Your questions are answers?
Speaker 7 (35:07):
Milkman Mike I said, this is a question for the crew.
It says, speaking of Jo's boxers, did any of you
ever have under rus?
Speaker 1 (35:18):
This person wants to know about our underwear history? Is
that what he's he's looking for?
Speaker 3 (35:23):
So was the tagline?
Speaker 7 (35:27):
Yeah, I had to I had to google what what this?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
What this was?
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
These are like you just like Batman or Robin you
have but right.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
Yeah, yeah, superhero.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
I'm almost positive I did like a little kid, but
I mostly was a tidy whitey kid. That was what
I was, mostly tidy white. What about you as?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I never had underrus.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
I think I might have had like one pair at
one point, but.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
I just had ty whities.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah, yeah, we were tidy team tighty white. That's right
to an.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Under When you concas sings, I know there were no
good anymore.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Away dog. It depends like what level bleach you have?
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Bleach bleach you've got the dog I was?
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I was, you were like, if you had the unders,
would go Aquaman, Spider Man, Wonder Woman? What would you do?
Speaker 7 (36:35):
The flash? I was also a tidy whities kid.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Is that still popular with the kids today.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
I think they want you to let everything breathe these days, right,
even there's not a lot there, they want to let it.
I don't know. I don't know about that. No, it's
not a commercial for frutile loom. Are not doing it,
you know? All right? I think we're out of time
looking at that unbelievable no time left saved by the belt.
Do they still make under roost? That still there must
(37:09):
still be a thing. No, I don't know. I haven't
needed though this in a while. They must make them though,
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, our three of
our radio show in the podcast format. Boy, do we
thank you for that? Thank you, thank you? Think I
hope you subscribe. Are you subscribed? Have you subscribed to
the podcast? You need to do that. We need you
as a subscriber. It comes right to your audio device.
Every single day we have a new podcast. You'll also
(00:22):
get access to the Fifth Hour podcast, which is a
separate podcast from this show. So here in hour number three,
what are the chances that Zeke Elliott goes back to Dallas?
There are conflicting reports on the free agent running back
Zeke Elliott has multiple options according to one report, believe
it or not, and you are now a gifted advisor.
(00:44):
What does Zeke Elliott need to turn his career around?
It's going the wrong direction. We'll talk about all that,
some hot cowboy talk and more. We'll also have the
Mallord riddle of the day here in our number three,
Can you go home again? It's a question many have asked,
and another player in the professional sports world asking you
(01:07):
right now. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mathers Show. We are in the end everywhere,
never a bore. Well, maybe use said on that. As
we are hanging out like roommates coast to coast, border
(01:27):
the border, and beyond on the vast and immeasurably powerful
microphones of fs are emanating live from the pursuit the
trivial pursuit of jock talk. We are broadcasting live from
the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help
you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
(01:50):
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tire
raq dot com the way tire buying shit be. So
we are now going to shift gears and go back
to our roots here football talking football in May and
that is our lead from the waiver wire. Now that
(02:10):
we have moved past the draft and the fifth year
option holiday, it's now time to look at the scrap
heap of football, the junkyard at the very top of
the pile of trash. Zeke Elliott remember him, Oh, he
was a big star back in the day with Dallas.
So if you've not heard the latest on this, he
(02:32):
is still available. If you like him, He's not on layaway.
You can be part of the fun with Zeke yell
And if you haven't heard. There's conflicting reports, and anytime
you get conflicting reports, good talk radio follows. So there's
conflicting reports here. Jerry Jones very publicly has gone on
(02:52):
the record of leaving the door open for Zeke Elliott
to return to Dallas Bay. But simultaneously there are reports
indicating that Zeke is not going to come back. In fact,
he's said to have multiple opportunities to find employment elsewhere.
And Zeke spent seven long years in Jerry's world, and
(03:18):
he had over ten thousand yards and eighty touchdowns along
the way, all kinds of stats for really good years.
And then right around the time, right around the time
the ink on the contract dried, the Mega Mega Mega contract,
when he went on a tropical vacation. That is about
the time things stopped adding up. That's about the time
(03:40):
where the boat started to capsize, the Zeke boat. So
that's where we are on that. Let us discuss the question,
what are the chances that Zeke Elliott does go back
to Dallas. Now, that would certainly be notable, right, that
would be something that would get people all joe if
you were to go back to that. So I'm gonna
(04:01):
set the odds on this being realistic, and I'm not
mister negative. I'm mister positive, So I'll be positive on this.
I will say plus five thousand, plus five thousands where
I'm going, which implies a two percent chance. Two percent. Yes,
(04:22):
I've got bubbles, windshield wipers, and mousetrap, and we'll combine
all of these things together, commit them to memory, and
we'll put them all together and we'll connect three. So,
first of all, my initial fighter, Zeke Elliott, is not
walking back through that door. Now the door is closed. However,
(04:44):
I'm leaving a two percent opportunity because the door is
not dead bolted. Good luck trying to pry it open.
While it's not dead bolton, it is closed. You are
going to need Heaven forbid. A battering ram is what
you're going to need. And Zeke he has to go
somewhere else down the dusty Wine Mucker Road. As Johnny
(05:07):
Cash sung back back in the day, that's the naked truth.
It's best for both sides. The cowboys went into the
town square, and with Zeke Elliott in front of everyone
in the town square, they pants Zeke Kelly. Now I'm
not saying he didn't deserve it because he had been
going the wrong direction. And that's the painful truth. But
(05:29):
he was given the pink slip. He was canned, he
was terminated. He walked the plank. How every want to
say it. The Cowboys added they were running back Deuce.
They added the deuce Deuce Vaughan from Kansas State. He
was a sixth round pick. And well, you're a sixth
round pick. You're not that great. But in the running
back game, okay, but this is a bubbles situation, and
(05:55):
what does that mean? Dallas burst the bubble of Zeke Elliott.
The bubble of trust has been broken. Jerry Jones decided
to move on now. He's like, well, maybe because Jerry's
a promoter, he's a hype man. He's like, maybe I'll
all go back and bring him back here and we
can have him play in our locker room. No, no,
(06:18):
Jerry took the locker away. Jerry Jones no longer. It's
like a breakup, right, Jerry decided to move on. He
no longer is making eye contact. He doesn't trust you.
He took your stuff away. You went from a relationship
then you were kind of friends with benefits. That whole
thing and now Tony Pollard has replaced you as the
(06:43):
new trophy in the backfield for Jerry Jones, and the
Cowboys are not texting Zeke back. They deleted all the
photos on social media and they are playing favorites and
Tony Pollard is the favorite now. Second, So let's address
the Komodo dragon in the room. Zeke Elliott reportedly has
multiple options around the NFL teams that are interested in
(07:08):
bringing him a board. Believe it or not, so I
am agnostic on this one. We are jaded realists here,
non believers, and Zeke is no longer. It's kind of
like in the restaurant world, you know how you're like
a three star Michelin chef and you get that rating.
(07:32):
And for a while, Zeke was a Michelin star chef.
Now he's a short order cook at the Greasy Spoon.
That's where he is, you know, in the kitchen terminology.
To use that same train of thought, he is on
the back burner, not a priority. We're not talking about
a priority here. We're talking about a backup. He'd be
(07:53):
a backup running back. And how do we know this?
Back in March, Zeke his posse took advantage of a
useful idiot in the media, and they planted a story.
How do we know it was a plan? Well, let
me give you the story. So this is back in March,
so a couple months ago. He used Adam Schefter as
(08:14):
a mega MEGAMEGA phone as a megaphone to announce that
Zeke Elliott had quote narrowed his options about where to play.
You remember the teams that were mentioned, the Ben Goals,
the Eagles, and the Jets. One problem and something that
the former President Trump would say a fake news. The Jets, Eagles,
(08:38):
and Bengals have all rejected Zeke Elliott. Cincinnati and New
York drafted running backs in the fifth round. Philadelphia traded
for DeAndre Swift from the Lions. So at this point,
where are we again? The story was that there are
multiple teams interested in Zeke Elliott. I don't believe it.
(09:01):
I think it's a lie. I believe it's a lie
my opinion. So where is the Zeke Elliott free agent campaign?
It is turned to windshield wipers. The windshield wipers strategy
where you put a bunch of flyers on cars in
the parking lot at Walmart or Costco or Sam's Club,
(09:21):
and then you just hope that some people bite get
a little business out of it. I say, just make
an offer, please, so I don't have to give this
away for free. On offer up. All right, final thought,
So you are a gifted advisor. I've now made you.
You're not just a consumer of audio content. You are
now a gifted advisor. Congratulations, you are a gifted advisor.
(09:45):
What does Zeke Elliott need to turn his fledgling career around?
He appears to be behind the eight ball. So other
than the obvious, which is do better, be better, my
advice I will play the role gifted advisor, is you
need to upgrade. You need to modernize. You got to
(10:05):
bring your game up to code, build a better mouse trap.
At this point, if I said what is Zeke Elliott? Zeke,
and I give it SIDEI because you're like, he's not
that good. He's a plodding back. He plays slowly. He's
like a full back, a specialist, a goal line, short
yardage guy. So Zeke, he needs a career resurrection. Easier
(10:32):
said than done, because once you've lost the speed which
he had in Ohio State when he was younger, the
breakaway speed that he had. Once you've lost that the quickness,
how does one get that back. There's only so much
tinkering that you can do. Dallas fell out of favor.
It's not like the Cowboys didn't try to fiddle with
(10:52):
Zeke and get something out of him, and all he
got was peanuts. All they got was a bunch of heartache.
And so with that going forward, what happens next? The
first thing you do is is there a team that
is legitimately interesting? There's no obvious teams, But I always
(11:14):
default to nepotism when in doubt. It's you know, I
work in radio. Radio is a very small community and
getting a lot smaller these days. But I know people
around the here. So if I needed something, I know
people I can call. But it's nepotism people I've worked
with in the past, or people I know from different places.
But it's just like your job whatever. That's how it works.
(11:34):
So keep an eye on Tampa and Dallas. Those are
the only two teams that are rather obvious or Tampa
and the Chargers rather not Dallas. Dallas is out, but
because they have former Cowboy connections. You got Kellen Moore,
who's the boss offensive coordinator, Skip Pete, who was with
the Cowboys, is the running back coach in Tampa. So
it's a case of it's not what you know, it's
(11:57):
who you know. It is the Ben Mahler Show. If
you'd like to comment on anything I just said, anything
I said earlier, if you were listening. If not, the
podcast will be up shortly after the show and you
can go back and hear the stuff that you missed
out on originally. But call us up eight seven seven

this hour to Lebron's premonition of the day. But here's
the Malard Riddle of the day, the Malor Riddle of
to day. We go to the NBA and Marcus Smart

Time now to pay off the mallarre Riddle of the day.
The Malarre of the Day. Marcus Smart of your Celtics
was spotted snacking on blank after the win over the
seventy six ers. That is the question. What is the answer?
(14:29):
Bean boot Maker Bob says, some Philly cheese steaks was
the answer. Who else do we have? Justin and Cincinnati's
going with Chinese food, dill pickles, fried dill pickles with
ranch dressing from the Sawman, Well, that would be horrific.
Who the hell would want to do that? Late night
drug tester says, some saltwater taffy is the answer. Milkman
(14:55):
Mike and Colorado going with chicken fries as his selection.
Who else do we have? Page down, page down courtesy
Flesher's going with the booty O's, he says, is the
answer there, You're actually not not far off. Just Josh
in Cincinnati says cheetos Dorito's and chili cheese Freeto's is
(15:18):
the Holy Trinity. Ferg Dog says the jolly green Giant,
now that Marcus Smart's hair has turned green. Ramen Oreo
Cookies guessed by Donkey Sausage Page down, page down, Sir
Scratchoff says blooney salad was the answer. Scott and Rhode
Island had a very creative answer, but I don't know
(15:40):
that we'll make the air. Luke the Vending Guy went
with Lizzo as his answer. Page down, Alf the Alien
opiner says he enjoys a bougie designer soda. Marcus Smart
does after playoff wins chill pills. Guessed by Ike and Roseville, Minnesota.
(16:01):
Miguel on Fire says he was having the snack that
I had to eat a couple of years ago, Rocky
Mountain oysters. Boy, that is disgusting. Brings back some bad
memories of Rica also went with cheese steak Areka. In Minnesota.
Bobby Knight was guessed by Johnny Q. It's interesting that
he would be snacking on Bobby Knight Calligan. Tim in
Michigan going with Ben's Pretzels has the answer. Eddie, do
(16:23):
you have an answer to the Mallard Riddle of the day?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Yes, delicious cinnamon rolls we were talking.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
About the other day. Yeah, we were talking about those,
but unfortunately that's incorrect, Eddie. Marcus Smart of the Celtics
was spotted snacking on a box of his own cereal.
Did you know Marcus Smart has his own cereal? I
didn't know this local Now it's called Wicked Smart's is
what it's called. Yeah, the same people that made Flutey
(16:51):
f you know, the Flutey flakes and yeah, so they
made the cereal for Marcus Smart. They've got a whole
wing of their business where they just make cereal brand.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
What would your cereal be called?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Ben oh, Mallard marshmallows? Right, come on, it's obvious. What
would yours be called? Eddie Eddio's Eddios?
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Yeah, that would work, Roberto's Roberto's.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yea, this is your dad is Eddie's thing? Coop? What
would your cereal be called? Coop? The loops Coop? That
could be Coops was gonna?
Speaker 7 (17:21):
I would say Cooper Crunch, but that that's that sounds better.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I kind of like Cooper Cooper Crunch. That's good.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Uh anyway, Coop crunch. Maybe a little short, short, little bit. Yeah.
In marketing, you want it short, you don't want it long.
Jeff and Tulsa writes, and he says, Deuce Vaughan is
going to be one of the shortest players in NFL history.
He's so hard to find, and he's so powerful in
his lower body, screams and counters. Okay, well, if that's
the case, watch out those little bugs on the rug.
(17:51):
You have a long career in the NFL. Be very
productive as a smaller running back. We've seen a bunch
of them over the years. Let's go to the phones.
We'll say all over to Jeff, who's in Minnesota and
he is up next year on the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
We hope the ratings are up, Jeff, We hope the
ratings are up.
Speaker 4 (18:11):

collars you got calling from Minnesota. I'm upset. I'm upset
because I got officiate one of my niece's wedding on
your meet and greet. Yeah, I look. I've been looking
forward to meeting Holler and James. I live about fifty
(18:33):

My bucket list is to become a member of Malord Militia.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Oh well, we can make that happen right now, we could.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I've a listener, I've been a listener of your show
for probably ten years.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Oh wow, that's a long time.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I've been holding a couple of times on game shows
and of course I failed, and I'm yeah, you don't
have here. Game show players are horrible.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Well, you don't need to put that out. I need
to bring that up. So Jeff, like, what time's the
wedding that you gotta you have to officiate on.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I think the wedding's like three in the afternoon and
it's about two and a half hours weft.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, that's not gonna work.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Yeah, but I'm gonna keep the guys in mind. And uh,
you know, I want to get more active in a show.
I delivered papers in the middle of the night and
I built air conditioners during the day.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
So you don't sleep, and you're like a lizard person.
You don't sleep.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
You just I sleep about four hours a night.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
You know what. I'm the same guy.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Then I then I catch up on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
We're living the same life, Jeff. That's pretty much what
I do during the week. I try to sleep a
little more on the weekends, but during the week I
get four or five hours. That's it. That's all I need. Yeah,
interesting to take. We want to take the oath here,
you want to do the oath? Yes, all right, this
is very exciting. Jef's gonna take the other delivering newspapers
right now as we speak, and he's still gonna deliver
(20:04):
the oath as well. All right here, just repeat after me.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
So help me, God, So help me God. Congratulations, Jeff.
It's an important day in a man's life or a
woman's life. You have been sworn in.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You are.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
I can leave the drift today and I do.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Okay, right now, well, try not to do that. We
need all the members we can get it. You are
a sergeant in arms. We are a mostly peaceful organization
of Malad Militia. But occasionally we have to go to
cyber warfare, and we don't like to do that, but
sometimes we have to do it when people trash my
good name. But thank you. Be safe out there, have
a fun time at the wedding. You're going to, Jeff,
(21:30):
drink a lot of you know, you know what, and
eat a lot of good food. Drink all right, we'll
drink a lot of soda pop. How about that you
can drink that will all right? There he goes Jeff
in Minnesota, a sworn in active duty member of the
Malord Militia.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
Bali Foosco here with Tony Fusco. Of course, you know
us as the host of the number one rated Bali.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
And Tony Fusco.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
Right now, we all know you sick and tired of
these stupid sports shows where the hosts say stupid things
like Tom Brady's the goat.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Or Lebron James is good at basketball, which he is
clearly not.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
See.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
We give you smart takes, and we also bring on
so called famous guests from across the sports world and
show them why we know much more than they built.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
You're off the show.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Listen to the Folly and Tony Fusco Show on the
iHeart Radio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Now bring this up because it does kind of relate
to our show. As you well know, Ben, when we
do our lame jokes of the week, there is a
certain musician who is very hard.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, very talented, young lady who very proud of herself,
and she likes everyone to know that she's large and
in jarred.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Well, apparently a former NHL player, Pik Suban, who is
now an analyst for ESPN, under fire for making it
lizen joke on the air. I don't know if you
saw this or not. Thanks to our guy in the
Enchanted Forest for passing this long. They were talking about
the Panthers maple Leaf series and apparently one of the hosts,
John Bucci Gross said that Toronto is gonna need to
(23:14):
pack a lunch for this matchup, and then p K responded,
maybe a Lizzo sized lunch.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Ey, Hey, that's lame. You should have sent that the
lame jokes every Friday. I saw the story.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I got the typical response you would expect on social media.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
How dare you? First you say a joke? But my
first thought is you can get this story literally over anything,
because at any given time, whether they're real or bots
on Twitter, there are people that disagree with everything everything.
So if you want to get a story, you can
get a story. You can do it. It's who Lizzo
(23:56):
brags about how fat she is? How who would care?
Why would think she cares? She's part of who she is, right.
She likes to brag about it, that she can wear
whatever she wants, whenever she wants, and that's her thing,
and she's you know, there's a bunch of people that
love that, and then they think that's great. And so
I don't see what the problem is. I don't think
anyone's really that upset by it. I think it's fake.
(24:18):
I think that's fake news, Eddie, That's what I think.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
It's all fake news far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You know, it's not fake. Max Schurzer, who I just
saw this. His spin rate was down dramatically as he
returned from his suspension for cheating. What woe?
Speaker 8 (24:37):
What?
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
That would be so great? Oh, I would love this
so much. If I can bust the balls of all
my friends who are Mets fans, if this is the
new mac Schuzer, that the only way he's any good
is cheating. The only way he can get guys out
is to cheat with doctor and the baseball. God give
me that. I need that in my life. And we've
(25:02):
got that other cheater, Justin Verlander, the ex cheating a
hole who's gonna make his debut, I believe is pushed
back to today, right, I think today's he's gonna make
his debut.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Yeah, today, that's correct for.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
The Mets against his old team. Man alive. It is
the Ben Mahler Show. As we continue on, and we're
gonna have coming up in a couple of minutes here
we are going to have asked Ben, your questions are answered,
but a quick around the room, so Lebron James do
a little round robin here. Lebron James had a premonition
this week. He says that the Lakers. The Lakers are
(25:40):
going to retire Anthony Davis's jersey. Lebron said that I
think I think they've retired twelve jerseys. You think, so
I'm gonna go first. I actually agree with Lebron James.
I believe they will retire Anthony Davis's number because that's
what the Lakers doubt. They're addicted the retiring numbers, just
(26:00):
like the Yankees. That's what they do. Roberto, what say you, Roberto?
Speaker 10 (26:06):
Yeah, after the Lakers win the title this year, definitely,
definitely either definitely, that's that's hell by you, that's.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
A tell by your coop. Do you think they will
retire Anthony Davis's number?
Speaker 7 (26:20):
Yeah, when they win the championship though, okay, both you
guys who have two championships?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
He has none right now, there are no Yeah, he
has one.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
But you sound like idiot because you look at and
it says that.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
There's a championship in Orlando at a resort at Disneyland.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Well, it happened, a champion, it happened, you can he
was there to see crying about it happened.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
But it's not being well in Guardiana, man, Well in
Guardiana plays Manuel in Guardiana.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
There he is, And hell, yes, they will be retiring
ad especially not because.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
They win a championship, because they haven't won.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Next year, Oh no, we're gonna We're gonna go for
number three next year because we won in Play twenty. Hey,
real quick, So I was per using Twitter.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Recently right right across the artist formerly known as a
sling shot in Minnesota. Hey, have you ever gotten a
load of this guy, Benny? He has why stay syndrome,
kind of like Jason Schmidt the whole.

And here he is the coop.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
All right, Ben, We're gonna start with the question from
Chip and the Cues. It's an interesting one because I
don't think anybody on this crew eats salads, but he
wants to know what is your favorite salad dressing. His
is French.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, so I don't eat salad dressing with salad, but
I like Thousand Island on my burger occasionally, and that
I think it's called Ken's honey mustard sauce, which is
like a salad dressing which is amazing, really good, really
good honey mustard sauce. So I do like salad dressing,
but the lettuce ruins it for me, so I like
(30:40):
to eat it with other things.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
What about you, Eddie, I eat plenty of salads, believe
or not. I mean I look like I do. But
but all the stuff on there, No, I'm also I
would pick Thousand Island as well.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
But are you the guy that eats the salad but
you put like a pound of chicken on there, and
some fries and some other stuff in the.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Salad, chicken.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
On top of what about you? Cool?
Speaker 7 (31:07):
We're skipping Roberto today.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Roberto, Robert, go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
I do eat salad from time to time.
Speaker 10 (31:13):
I love the caesar Salad's probably my favorite caesar salad.
And uh, you know, I'll make I'll make like try
tips sometimes and I'll throw the tri tip in so
some of that sliced try tip into my caesar salad.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
You're eating steak with some some vegetables.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Yeah, caesar salad, that's my favorite, all right?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Cool.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
As a kid, it was exclusively ranch dressing. I wouldn't
have salad with anything else. But these days I like
a lot of salad dressings. But I think I would
lean towards you know, some sort of like uh like
blue blueberry pomegranate vinigarrette or something like that. Yeah, yeah,
(31:51):
you know anything like that, like you know some some
sort of fruity delicious viniagrette.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
What is next year?
Speaker 4 (31:57):
We have?
Speaker 7 (31:58):
All right, we're gonna go over to We're gonna go
to Donkey Sausage. He wants to ask everybody Donkey Sausage.
How often do you get your hair cut?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Well, back when I had hair, I gotta cut a lot.
But I know I usually I get trimmed. I cut
my own hair. Now I gotta figure I have so
little hair I can cut my own hair. So I
do it like once every month or month and a
half or so.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
What about you, Eddie, I actually just got a haircut
earlier in the day, and.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
You got a barber shop. Or do you do it yourself?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
No, my wife's cousin. Oh does it friend of the family. Yeah,
probably about every four weeks.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
No, I don't do it that often. It's a little
more than that.
Speaker 10 (32:43):
What about you, Roverto, Oh, I love wearing hats, so
like I when I wear I have too much hair
bothers me.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
So I cut my hair every Friday or Saturday. I
just raise week.
Speaker 10 (32:52):
Yeah, cut it myself Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
It's not that hard.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
No, it's pretty simple.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Yeah, what about you cool?
Speaker 7 (33:01):
I also got a haircut earlier today. I would say
about every every six weeks.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Okay, yeah about that, give or take. Sometimes if I'm lazy,
go longer. But I look all the shovel. What's next?
It's ask Ben your questions, our answers for the rest
of the hour. Ferg dog once, why Fergie?
Speaker 7 (33:25):
I would imagine this is just a question for you.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Make sure you massage Brian's shoulders. Okay.
Speaker 7 (33:30):
He wants to know does Don Martin really and everything
he says with my man.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I don't know, he doesn't. But but let's just say
that the impersonations that we all do, and Petros does
our spot on that. You know, there's people in life
that are just easy to imitate, you know what I mean,
certain people like Don Don's I've known him for twenty
years and he's.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
I can I can add to this for everybody.
Speaker 7 (34:01):
Yeah, sure, our boss.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
You want to rip our boss? Go ahead? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (34:06):
No, because I had never met Don Marin, right, And
then there was a there was a thing last year
at a local shoe store here, and uh there was
it was like to me one of the to me
one of the Dodger players, and I heard a voice
and I'm like, oh, that must be Don Martin, And yeah,
sure enough it was Don Martin. So the impersonations, I'm
pretty spot on.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
How many times do you think in my twenty years
have I met Don Martin?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Oh Man, Maybe once or twice, maybe twice twice.
Speaker 7 (34:40):
Yeah, I've met it more than that.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yeah. I usually I don't talk to Don. I deal
with Scott more than Don. But I'll deal with Don
when I have like my contract stuff, I have to
deal with him so and he'll usually uh, he'll man,
you gotta come to me sooner. With this moment, I'm like,
I'm sorry, Dot, I didn't realize any What what is
next year's ask? Ben? Your questions are answers?
Speaker 7 (35:07):
Milkman Mike I said, this is a question for the crew.
It says, speaking of Jo's boxers, did any of you
ever have under rus?
Speaker 1 (35:18):
This person wants to know about our underwear history? Is
that what he's he's looking for?
Speaker 3 (35:23):
So was the tagline?
Speaker 7 (35:27):
Yeah, I had to I had to google what what this?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
What this was?
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
These are like you just like Batman or Robin you
have but right.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
Yeah, yeah, superhero.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
I'm almost positive I did like a little kid, but
I mostly was a tidy whitey kid. That was what
I was, mostly tidy white. What about you as?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I never had underrus.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
I think I might have had like one pair at
one point, but.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
I just had ty whities.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah, yeah, we were tidy team tighty white. That's right
to an.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Under When you concas sings, I know there were no
good anymore.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Away dog. It depends like what level bleach you have?
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Bleach bleach you've got the dog I was?
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I was, you were like, if you had the unders,
would go Aquaman, Spider Man, Wonder Woman? What would you do?
Speaker 7 (36:35):
The flash? I was also a tidy whities kid.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Is that still popular with the kids today.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
I think they want you to let everything breathe these days, right,
even there's not a lot there, they want to let it.
I don't know. I don't know about that. No, it's
not a commercial for frutile loom. Are not doing it,
you know? All right? I think we're out of time
looking at that unbelievable no time left saved by the belt.
Do they still make under roost? That still there must
(37:09):
still be a thing. No, I don't know. I haven't
needed though this in a while. They must make them though,
