(03:02):
A hum dinger. It is a hum dinger of a
story involving celebrity fandom, a follow up to a story
we talked about in previous episodes of the show long
long ago. And I assume you know where I'm going
with this. Maybe you've been listening, maybe not, Perhaps you
missed it. But we learned recently that the famous I
(03:23):
say that in air quotes famous Kansas City Chief super
fan that made headlines back in December for robbing banks.
He was on the Lamb and he has now been
arrested by the FEDS. The FBI tracked him down outside
Sacramento after he robbed a bank. He was on the
run trying to avoid prosecution for the robbery. Xavier Babadar,
(03:49):
better known by his online persona chiefs Aholic who I
guess you gotta be inside the Chiefs to know who
this guy is. But he was rested in a town
called Lincoln, California, which is a suburb of sacrament by
the US US Attorney's Office Western District of Missouri announced
that on Monday. Babadar is twenty eight years old. He
(04:09):
was charged with one count only one count of bank
theft and one count of transporting stolen property across state lines.
But that could be just the tip of the spear,
see what I did there? Tip of the spear anyway,
or tip of the arrowhead? Shall we say so? The
Chief Saholic guy, he wears the werewolf costume woo at
(04:32):
Chiefs Games, has a somewhat large I say that being
generous social media presence online among fans. According to the
court Affidavid, the chiefs Aholic guy is not only suspected
of robbing the bank in Oklahoma, which he was charged with.
They now think that he has gone on a cross
(04:53):
country crime spree, robbing several banks across the Midwest from
Mar until December of twenty twenty two. So he got
away with it in all of those once March, April, May, June, July, August, September,
and October November, and then in December he got dinged
(05:14):
by the Feds. They finally caught up with the guy
and he was charged in December after he was arrested
at a bank in outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was
later suspected corner to the Feds, he robbed banks in Nebraska, Iowa, Tennessee, Oklahoma,
and Minnesota. So he made it all over the place.
(05:34):
So let us discuss the question what do you make
of the chief aholic being arrested again by the FBI.
So I've got manuscript everything, bagel, seasoning, and dog whistle,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are gonna make the Baba ganoosh, which you will
(05:55):
not be getting in prison. They will not be serving
the Baba ga noush in prison. Now to kick off here,
this is a fascinating tale. It is a cliffhanger of
a story. They've made a lot of bank robbery movies
over the years. They could make another one. Why not
a modern crime drama or rama with several plot twists. Now,
(06:19):
as we understand the story, this guy did a lot
of this, if not all of it, to help enhance
his swag, his online clout. He was chasing clout. Some
people chase clout. They go to the Hamptons, or they
go to South Beach, or they go to Beverly Hills.
(06:43):
This guy was like, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna rob all these banks and I'm gonna use
that money, and I'm gonna send a bunch of photos
out of me gambling ridiculous amounts of money, and I
don't care if I lose. I'll just rob another bank.
That's all I will do, and that'll be great. Why not?
And he was the mastermind of this cross country if
the Feds are right, this cross country bank robbery ring,
(07:04):
which he was doing all of the robberies. And he
wasn't doing this to fuel a drug habit or some
kind of other vice other than just the need to
have a lot of cash to help his persona online
it's wild. It's all about being the chief aholic guy,
(07:25):
and it gave him more influence among the Chief's kingdom
and all that. What a mama Luke. Clearly he know
he was a wolf. He was hit by the stupid
stick somewhere along the way that he thought he could
have continued to get away with us. Every time you
go in there and rob a bank, We've all thought
about robbing a bank, right'd be great to get the money,
(07:45):
and then you realize what happens if you get caught,
and you realize the chances of you getting caught, and
then you're like, well, I think I'll avoid that now,
I think I don't need to do that now. Nevertheless,
the manuscript on this give me a piece of the man.
This is gold. Now. Hollywood stop making new movies a
while ago. They just repackage old movies that they put
(08:07):
the the woke bull crap out there in theaters and
then they're shocked when nobody goes to see it. But
if they actually decided to go back to the old formula,
this one writes itself. It does based on what I know.
It jumps off the page. It's got blockbuster ability, and
you've got a little suspense. An innocuous football fan, just
(08:29):
you know, typical meathead football fan that wants to be
known online, get a lot of likes and all that benign, harmless.
The guy wears a wolf's costume. He's a wolf, come on.
He goes around doing that thing, and then he morphs
into this crazed gun toting fan driven by the zeitgeist
(08:50):
of our modern times that it's all about the followers,
It's all about the likes, it's all about the clicks
and all that, and the making the out rhythms, the
bots happy, and he got sucked into the matrix. You
take the red pill or the blue pill. Well, we
know which pill this guy took. And he wants to
(09:10):
see how far into wonderland he can go, and how
far he can go is in prison? That's how far
he can go into wonderland? Now do they We have
a lot of people in prison that listen. I don't
know if that's a badge of honor or not. But
have they installed Wi Fi? Are people able to go
online in prisons? These days? We've had guys that have
(09:31):
had phones in prison and so they've called the show.
We've had regular callers from prison. Over the years, we've
had a couple so it is an amazing tale. And
here we are now furthermore sticking with the Kansas City
Chiefs theme, but the rival of Kansas City the Cincinnati
Bengals in the football news. There's been plenty of trash
(09:55):
talk back and forth here between prominent members and some
not so promp dominant members of the Ben Gals and
the Chiefs since Consas City won the matchup in the
AFC Championship Game. Now, Jamar Chase said, Pat who when
discussing Patrick Mahomes, Oh my god, let's get a war tribunal.
(10:18):
That caused Travis Kelcey to quip back. Kelsey called out
the mayor of Cincinnati in his postgame comments after the
win in the Conference Saddle game. So entered Joe Burrow.
Joe Coole has entered the chat, and Joe Burrow is
not is not trying to enter the bulletin board material.
(10:41):
He said, quote the best thing about that, talking about
the trash talk is that it's all settled on the field.
The Ben Gals quarterback said, he said, so we'll see
them in December. So that's a shot at the Buffalo Bills.
And the Chargers and every other team in the AFC
(11:01):
that Joe Burrow is announcing the Bengals will take on
the Chiefs seemingly in the AFC Championship Game. Yet again,
so a question on this one. How does the trash
talk between Kansas City and Cincinnati Factory into the rivalry?
So it is a net positive, that is my rebuttal,
(11:22):
it is a net positive if you ask that question. There.
It's like everything bagel seasoning. It enhances the flavor of
what you're doing. In this case, it's a game. It
makes it a little more exciting there. They've got the
little garlic flakes and all that everything bagel. They got
the the garlic flakes, the onion flakes, they've got the
(11:43):
the kosher salt. They've got this kind of oat thing
in there, some poppy seeds. They put all that crap
together and it tastes pretty good. And the trash talk element,
it's great. Now, is it also something that's gonna impact
the outcome of the game. No, No, it's background is
it's elevator music. That's all it is. It's who plays better,
(12:05):
who does the better job preparation wise and all that,
and who does better in the moment, in the moment,
you gotta play. I've never been bulletin board material guy.
I've never been that guy. It is mainly used to
explain by the media the outcome of a game. If
said team wins, that does the trash talk, then it
is forgotten when the unexpected result happens. You see what
(12:28):
I'm saying, All right, parting shot and the last stop
on this Merry Go Round of NFL the grab bag
and we go to Indianapolis. The Colts expected to suck
out loud this upcoming NFL season, and what will they
do at quarterback? Will it be Gardner Minshew later the
Eagles and Jags, or or will it be the high
(12:51):
falutin first round pick quarterback. Well, Jim Ursay put down
the bottle and picked up the phone and did an interview,
and Jim Irsay, the Colts owner, says he knows, he
knows he's in for a crappy year with the greenhorn quarterback.
(13:12):
But he said, for Anthony Richardson, this is a quote
for Anthony Richardson, it's going to be tough. We know that,
ersay blabbird, but he has to play to get better.
I mean there's no question Gardner Minshew ersa opine could play,
come out and obviously play better early on just being
a veteran. But we the Colts owner, said, have to
(13:37):
get Anthony meeting Richardson on the field. That's Shane meaning
Shane Steiken, the head coach there. That's his call when
he decides to do it. Okay, so that's the quote. Now,
how do you decode what Jim Mersay just said. So
that is what's known as a dog whistle. Whistle whistle.
(14:01):
That's a dog whistle, is what that is. And that's
a dog whistle to the head coach. That's the owner
of the team saying, play Anthony Richardson. I don't care
if Gardner Minshew can get you nine wins, play Anthony Richardson,
win three games. Play the guy. Now, Anthony richards has
started thirteen bleeping games for the Florida Gators in the
(14:23):
swamp and around the Southeastern Conference, which is in the
big picture. Bupkis in his absolute bucktist. Now, we are
skeptics when it comes to Anthony Richardson's long term viability
in the NFL. We are cynical, but I actually agree
with Jim irsay on this take I do it is
(14:43):
okay for Jim irsay. If the Colts go out there
and blow chunks, it is perfectly fine growing pains. Now,
I don't think the head coach wants to do that,
but that's what the message is. Short term pain for
long term game. The only way you improve is by
actually going out there and playing a limited agony. And
(15:05):
if it doesn't work out for Anthony Richardson, they'll draft
another quarterback three years from now. It is the Ben
at Mahler Show. If you'd like to be part eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number eight
seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine. We
are also on the Twitter machine at Ben Mahlor and
(15:25):

and if it's free, it's for me. So Ben Mahler

million people have already signed up for this thing, so
it's done very well in the early going. Now, speaking
(15:46):
of charging for something you used to get for free.

(16:56):
just come to our attention that the NBA player named
Anthony Davis there's some video bouncing around of Anthony Davis

a good idea? Doesn't Anthony Davis when he gets out

(17:18):
he's sparring with with someone who's much shorter than him
in the video clip, there's a there's a clip. You
can find the clip bouncing around of Anthony Dale. I
don't know if it's a new clip or at old
clip and just came to my attention, but there's Anthony
Davis box and I can't imagine him being a boxer

(17:39):
I'm saying. I don't know about that. I don't know
about that one. Let's go to the phones and we'll
say hello to Angry Bill, who's in Florida, but his

of Angry Bill. Hello, Angry Bill.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
How you doing?

Guys? It's not only me to want to find about
Roberto's other people that want to know Roberto. But that's okay.
You guys can keep fussing around and not telling the truth.
That's okay.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yes, it's a big secret. Nobody knows what happened to Roberto.
Nobody knows.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
I'm just telling everybody, will you, Yeah, I told you
last hour Roberto went to Las Vegas to investigate the
aliens that had been visiting Lost Widges, Nevada, and we
believe he might have been abducted.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Okay, the exciting news. I'm going to be on your
show in two nights. I'm going to do my act tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Are you doing there? You in the Talent Show?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Oh? Is this correct? Cooplelop? Is he in the Talent Show?
Is this accurate? Angry Ville was the first I'm hearing
about it. Oh, okay, so this must be a joke.
This is where hey, this is where he says something racist. Here,
this is what.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
No, this isn't racist. I've been practicing it for years
and you keep not letting me on. But this year
I'm going to do it because you have very few people, obviously.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
And mostly because we take your calls. That's why.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Yeah, Well, Bella's on board. I'm going to dry hum
and that's going to be the act.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
You laughed at that. I like that.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
How about my bank robber? He's my southern division.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Well, you know a thing or two about bank robbery,
and you want to give any advice. You want to
give any advice to the chiefs fan since you've robbed
banks before anything, you want to give any piece of wisdom.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Yeah, don't get caught.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yes, that seems rather rather a good advice. Yes do Yeah,
that's that's this guy.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
This guy is going to be dumber than me. He
keeps from keep he kept robbing them, keep getting the money,
and then he kept doing it.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, because the guy would rob The guy would rob
the banks and then he would go gamble all the
money away and he'd lose and to make online videos,
and then he'd brag about how much he was betting
because it wasn't his money, it was the bank's money,
so he didn't care.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
He should he should have just come down to Jacksonville
because these cops down here are so stupid it's unbelievable. Yes,
they direct traffic.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
No, I don't know anyone that can direct traffic though, Seriously,
everywhere every se I've traveled all over the United States,
I have never seen a person that knows how to
direct traffic like those traffic cops. They make things worse
They do not make things better. It's craziness. You'd think
that these people are trained to direct traffic, they would
be good at it. But I have never yet to see.
I'm sure they exist, I don't know where, but I
(20:36):
have never seen in all my travels around the United States,
I've never seen a traffic cop directing traffic in the
middle of the intersection that knows what the heck's going
on and it actually makes things better. Yeah, now, I know,
I'm fascinating. So some great price gouging from the Major
(20:56):
League Baseball All Star Game in Seattle. Now, they had
All Star Game there about twenty years ago. Parking for
the All Star Game about twenty years ago is twenty
five dollars right near the ballpark. You want to take
a guess how much the parking right near the ballpark
is going for this year's All Star Game, which is
by the way tonight in Seattle. Would you like to
(21:17):
take a shot at this, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Well, you know, I'm really good at this. I'm very
very good.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
You're better at this than eating cookies.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I know that now, that's definitely not true. But I'm
gonna say two hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I see you're terrible at this game. Eddie've ruined the game.
You just said that, and you've ruined the game. See now,
to me, this seems like an outrageous amount of money
to pay for parking.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I'll be the judge of that.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
They are charging right across from the ballpark there in Seattle.
There's a big sign. I saw the photo making the
rounds on the socials. You can get parking there for
one hundred and twenty dollars.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
That's actually not that outreason.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
This is Seattle. It's not La and he's not New York.
It's Seattle. It matters. It matters to me, okay, it
matters to the people a Seattle that move off the
Pacific Northwest.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
You any amount of money charge for parking matters because
you walk five I will to avoid paying.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
In the early days of Fox Sports Radio, I'm not
that's not even a joke. Before they went cheap, they
used to have these massive Christmas parties, right and big
Beverly Hills Hotel. You went to some of those, right.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Speaking of Jim Rome, I sat at the table.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I met Jim Rome there, Art Bell, I met Casey Kase.
I already knew him a little bit. Doctor. These are
big radio stars. We were radio and hear these were
the biggest names in radio. I met Matt Drudge was
at that. He used to do a show for the
company anyway, and they would they would have parking, but
it was they get to pay for it. The Beverly
Hills Hotel. So I would park literally, I would be.
I'd be by the time I got in, I was
(22:42):
covered in sweat. I'd walk it. Ever since, what happened?
Did you work out?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I got free parking. I had to go all the
way down Wilshire, but I got free parking. Yeah that's
pretty bad. I saved money though, Yeah, but I imagine back then,
I mean, because this was hous fat. Yeah, I'm just
saying this had to be, you know, close to twenty
years ago. You know, fifty. You don't have to it.
(23:07):
You don't have to years. You don't have to date me.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
So you you walked all that way, got all sweaty
before this swanky Christmas party with all these famous people. Yeah,
you have to rather than pay what like twenty bucks
to get at val Aid.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
But twenty dollars is in today's money. Think about today's
I mean what I'm gonna tell I'm gonna go to
the inflation calculator. Okay, right now.

for the East Coast.
Speaker 3 (25:38):

I would be an All Star fan, But not in
Seattle paying one hundred and twenty dollars for parking. By
(26:45):
the way, I did look it up, and back in
the old days when I had to pay twenty five
dollars for parking at the Beverly Hills Hotel, in today's money,
thirty four dollars and thirty six cents. So I saved
thirty four dollars and thirty six cents. In your face code,
in your face thirty four. It does help me. It's
a lot of money. You can buy like one cheeseburger
(27:07):
with that money.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Now, No, I know how expensive it is. I remember
last year when I went to Dead End Company at
Chase Center. The parking was so expensive. My friend had
her daughter just drive the car around and pick us up.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
You got to put your body armor on and take
bart is what you got to do to go to.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
You got a point there, Yeah, but yeah, I know,
quite an All Star game sixteen years to the day,
Glad Junior won the home run derby sixteen years after
his dad did, So that was interesting timing. But yeah, no,
I'm glad you shared that about the New York Times.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I hear your writing for the athletics. Is this correct?
And little Birdie told me that is that? Right? Wow?
Speaker 9 (27:50):
Interesting timing. I just started working for the Athletic and
you know, sharing sports astrology articles and such.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Who knew? Yeah, Eddie's shocked over there, that's true.
Speaker 9 (28:06):
Yeah, you know, the sports astrology is a unique niche
and I appreciate the opportunity at your show, and uh,
it will be interesting to see the athletic But so.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You might end up how great would this? You might
end up on the pages of the New York Times,
the printed New York Times.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Well, yeah, you know what. I was very sorry to
hear that. Being a New York Mets fan, you know,
I have the online version that I would get and
i'd you know, subscribe to that and you could share
the article and post it. But sometimes, like when Steve
Cohene gave that big address to the team, actually bought
the printed version to read all about it.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You have to hold that in your hands there, right, And.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
So I'm just sorry to see that sports section go,
especially as some of.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
The people that work there, Yes, they are all so
sorry to see it go there. I can get reassigned
to the crime beat and all that that. Well, they
got reassigned because they paid five hundred fifty million for
the athletics. So you pay that kind of money, You're
not doing that to have it on layaway.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
So yeah, so.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
Sorry to see you know that go. I mean I
grew up, you know, the New York Post, the back page,
daily News.

You know how things change, andrew everything's online. You're online.
You're in the online world.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
Now, that's but you know something about the New York newspapers,
the New York It's like it's like flying.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
People used to fly. They dress up in their their
church clothes and go on the plane and wear hats
and dresses and suits. And now we are all slobs
and sandals and shorts.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
We're comfortable, yes, But you know, just the New York Post,
the Daily News, those back pages been. They even put
it on on MLB network, those screaming headlines, and they
make fun of things and they show things and it's
just really.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Oh, the New York Post is wonderful as far as
that's concerned. For sure. Those headlines are outstanding. All right,
well we'll leave it there. Andrewa thank you, good luck
with your writing, and make sure to slip our name

early days, the great Cowboy John brad and Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

radio variety show, and you'll realize why they got rid
of all the variety shows on radio when you hear
the Mallard Palooza twenty twenty three, which is going to
be amazing. But our lead this hour come from the bleachers.
(03:02):
A hum dinger. It is a hum dinger of a
story involving celebrity fandom, a follow up to a story
we talked about in previous episodes of the show long
long ago. And I assume you know where I'm going
with this. Maybe you've been listening, maybe not, Perhaps you
missed it. But we learned recently that the famous I
(03:23):
say that in air quotes famous Kansas City Chief super
fan that made headlines back in December for robbing banks.
He was on the Lamb and he has now been
arrested by the FEDS. The FBI tracked him down outside
Sacramento after he robbed a bank. He was on the
run trying to avoid prosecution for the robbery. Xavier Babadar,
(03:49):
better known by his online persona chiefs Aholic who I
guess you gotta be inside the Chiefs to know who
this guy is. But he was rested in a town
called Lincoln, California, which is a suburb of sacrament by
the US US Attorney's Office Western District of Missouri announced
that on Monday. Babadar is twenty eight years old. He
(04:09):
was charged with one count only one count of bank
theft and one count of transporting stolen property across state lines.
But that could be just the tip of the spear,
see what I did there? Tip of the spear anyway,
or tip of the arrowhead? Shall we say so? The
Chief Saholic guy, he wears the werewolf costume woo at
(04:32):
Chiefs Games, has a somewhat large I say that being
generous social media presence online among fans. According to the
court Affidavid, the chiefs Aholic guy is not only suspected
of robbing the bank in Oklahoma, which he was charged with.
They now think that he has gone on a cross
(04:53):
country crime spree, robbing several banks across the Midwest from
Mar until December of twenty twenty two. So he got
away with it in all of those once March, April, May, June, July, August, September,
and October November, and then in December he got dinged
(05:14):
by the Feds. They finally caught up with the guy
and he was charged in December after he was arrested
at a bank in outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was
later suspected corner to the Feds, he robbed banks in Nebraska, Iowa, Tennessee, Oklahoma,
and Minnesota. So he made it all over the place.
(05:34):
So let us discuss the question what do you make
of the chief aholic being arrested again by the FBI.
So I've got manuscript everything, bagel, seasoning, and dog whistle,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are gonna make the Baba ganoosh, which you will
(05:55):
not be getting in prison. They will not be serving
the Baba ga noush in prison. Now to kick off here,
this is a fascinating tale. It is a cliffhanger of
a story. They've made a lot of bank robbery movies
over the years. They could make another one. Why not
a modern crime drama or rama with several plot twists. Now,
(06:19):
as we understand the story, this guy did a lot
of this, if not all of it, to help enhance
his swag, his online clout. He was chasing clout. Some
people chase clout. They go to the Hamptons, or they
go to South Beach, or they go to Beverly Hills.
(06:43):
This guy was like, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna rob all these banks and I'm gonna use
that money, and I'm gonna send a bunch of photos
out of me gambling ridiculous amounts of money, and I
don't care if I lose. I'll just rob another bank.
That's all I will do, and that'll be great. Why not?
And he was the mastermind of this cross country if
the Feds are right, this cross country bank robbery ring,
(07:04):
which he was doing all of the robberies. And he
wasn't doing this to fuel a drug habit or some
kind of other vice other than just the need to
have a lot of cash to help his persona online
it's wild. It's all about being the chief aholic guy,
(07:25):
and it gave him more influence among the Chief's kingdom
and all that. What a mama Luke. Clearly he know
he was a wolf. He was hit by the stupid
stick somewhere along the way that he thought he could
have continued to get away with us. Every time you
go in there and rob a bank, We've all thought
about robbing a bank, right'd be great to get the money,
(07:45):
and then you realize what happens if you get caught,
and you realize the chances of you getting caught, and
then you're like, well, I think I'll avoid that now,
I think I don't need to do that now. Nevertheless,
the manuscript on this give me a piece of the man.
This is gold. Now. Hollywood stop making new movies a
while ago. They just repackage old movies that they put
(08:07):
the the woke bull crap out there in theaters and
then they're shocked when nobody goes to see it. But
if they actually decided to go back to the old formula,
this one writes itself. It does based on what I know.
It jumps off the page. It's got blockbuster ability, and
you've got a little suspense. An innocuous football fan, just
(08:29):
you know, typical meathead football fan that wants to be
known online, get a lot of likes and all that benign, harmless.
The guy wears a wolf's costume. He's a wolf, come on.
He goes around doing that thing, and then he morphs
into this crazed gun toting fan driven by the zeitgeist
(08:50):
of our modern times that it's all about the followers,
It's all about the likes, it's all about the clicks
and all that, and the making the out rhythms, the
bots happy, and he got sucked into the matrix. You
take the red pill or the blue pill. Well, we
know which pill this guy took. And he wants to
(09:10):
see how far into wonderland he can go, and how
far he can go is in prison? That's how far
he can go into wonderland? Now do they We have
a lot of people in prison that listen. I don't
know if that's a badge of honor or not. But
have they installed Wi Fi? Are people able to go
online in prisons? These days? We've had guys that have
(09:31):
had phones in prison and so they've called the show.
We've had regular callers from prison. Over the years, we've
had a couple so it is an amazing tale. And
here we are now furthermore sticking with the Kansas City
Chiefs theme, but the rival of Kansas City the Cincinnati
Bengals in the football news. There's been plenty of trash
(09:55):
talk back and forth here between prominent members and some
not so promp dominant members of the Ben Gals and
the Chiefs since Consas City won the matchup in the
AFC Championship Game. Now, Jamar Chase said, Pat who when
discussing Patrick Mahomes, Oh my god, let's get a war tribunal.
(10:18):
That caused Travis Kelcey to quip back. Kelsey called out
the mayor of Cincinnati in his postgame comments after the
win in the Conference Saddle game. So entered Joe Burrow.
Joe Coole has entered the chat, and Joe Burrow is
not is not trying to enter the bulletin board material.
(10:41):
He said, quote the best thing about that, talking about
the trash talk is that it's all settled on the field.
The Ben Gals quarterback said, he said, so we'll see
them in December. So that's a shot at the Buffalo Bills.
And the Chargers and every other team in the AFC
(11:01):
that Joe Burrow is announcing the Bengals will take on
the Chiefs seemingly in the AFC Championship Game. Yet again,
so a question on this one. How does the trash
talk between Kansas City and Cincinnati Factory into the rivalry?
So it is a net positive, that is my rebuttal,
(11:22):
it is a net positive if you ask that question. There.
It's like everything bagel seasoning. It enhances the flavor of
what you're doing. In this case, it's a game. It
makes it a little more exciting there. They've got the
little garlic flakes and all that everything bagel. They got
the the garlic flakes, the onion flakes, they've got the
(11:43):
the kosher salt. They've got this kind of oat thing
in there, some poppy seeds. They put all that crap
together and it tastes pretty good. And the trash talk element,
it's great. Now, is it also something that's gonna impact
the outcome of the game. No, No, it's background is
it's elevator music. That's all it is. It's who plays better,
(12:05):
who does the better job preparation wise and all that,
and who does better in the moment, in the moment,
you gotta play. I've never been bulletin board material guy.
I've never been that guy. It is mainly used to
explain by the media the outcome of a game. If
said team wins, that does the trash talk, then it
is forgotten when the unexpected result happens. You see what
(12:28):
I'm saying, All right, parting shot and the last stop
on this Merry Go Round of NFL the grab bag
and we go to Indianapolis. The Colts expected to suck
out loud this upcoming NFL season, and what will they
do at quarterback? Will it be Gardner Minshew later the
Eagles and Jags, or or will it be the high
(12:51):
falutin first round pick quarterback. Well, Jim Ursay put down
the bottle and picked up the phone and did an interview,
and Jim Irsay, the Colts owner, says he knows, he
knows he's in for a crappy year with the greenhorn quarterback.
(13:12):
But he said, for Anthony Richardson, this is a quote
for Anthony Richardson, it's going to be tough. We know that,
ersay blabbird, but he has to play to get better.
I mean there's no question Gardner Minshew ersa opine could play,
come out and obviously play better early on just being
a veteran. But we the Colts owner, said, have to
(13:37):
get Anthony meeting Richardson on the field. That's Shane meaning
Shane Steiken, the head coach there. That's his call when
he decides to do it. Okay, so that's the quote. Now,
how do you decode what Jim Mersay just said. So
that is what's known as a dog whistle. Whistle whistle.
(14:01):
That's a dog whistle, is what that is. And that's
a dog whistle to the head coach. That's the owner
of the team saying, play Anthony Richardson. I don't care
if Gardner Minshew can get you nine wins, play Anthony Richardson,
win three games. Play the guy. Now, Anthony richards has
started thirteen bleeping games for the Florida Gators in the
(14:23):
swamp and around the Southeastern Conference, which is in the
big picture. Bupkis in his absolute bucktist. Now, we are
skeptics when it comes to Anthony Richardson's long term viability
in the NFL. We are cynical, but I actually agree
with Jim irsay on this take I do it is
(14:43):
okay for Jim irsay. If the Colts go out there
and blow chunks, it is perfectly fine growing pains. Now,
I don't think the head coach wants to do that,
but that's what the message is. Short term pain for
long term game. The only way you improve is by
actually going out there and playing a limited agony. And
(15:05):
if it doesn't work out for Anthony Richardson, they'll draft
another quarterback three years from now. It is the Ben
at Mahler Show. If you'd like to be part eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number eight
seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine. We
are also on the Twitter machine at Ben Mahlor and
(15:25):
on something called threads. You want to see I bake
some cookies. You want to see what they look like.
There's a couple of photos up on my threads page,
which is a cheap ripoff version of Twitter. But it's free,
and if it's free, it's for me. So Ben Mahler
on Fox. If you're on Threads, I saw like thirty
million people have already signed up for this thing, so
it's done very well in the early going. Now, speaking
(15:46):
of charging for something you used to get for free.
How about this price gouging in the world of sports.
A tremendous price gouging story that will warm your heart
this morning. We'll get to that and we will do
it next.

Maller, some price gouging to warm your heart on this
morning And new video obtained overnight. New video obtained overnight
shows an NBA player boxing boxing Say what, Yes, It
(16:56):
just come to our attention that the NBA player named
Anthony Davis there's some video bouncing around of Anthony Davis
showing off his ability to box. Does that seem like
a good idea? Doesn't Anthony Davis when he gets out
of bed, doesn't that go poorly for him? Yeah? So
(17:18):
he's sparring with with someone who's much shorter than him
in the video clip, there's a there's a clip. You
can find the clip bouncing around of Anthony Dale. I
don't know if it's a new clip or at old
clip and just came to my attention, but there's Anthony
Davis box and I can't imagine him being a boxer
that's going to go all the way, you know what
(17:39):
I'm saying. I don't know about that. I don't know
about that one. Let's go to the phones and we'll
say hello to Angry Bill, who's in Florida, but his
heart is in Nutley, New Jersey, the most appropriate birthplace
of Angry Bill. Hello, Angry Bill.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
How you doing?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Guys? It's not only me to want to find about
Roberto's other people that want to know Roberto. But that's okay.
You guys can keep fussing around and not telling the truth.
That's okay.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yes, it's a big secret. Nobody knows what happened to Roberto.
Nobody knows.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
I'm just telling everybody, will you, Yeah, I told you
last hour Roberto went to Las Vegas to investigate the
aliens that had been visiting Lost Widges, Nevada, and we
believe he might have been abducted.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Okay, the exciting news. I'm going to be on your
show in two nights. I'm going to do my act tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Are you doing there? You in the Talent Show?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Oh? Is this correct? Cooplelop? Is he in the Talent Show?
Is this accurate? Angry Ville was the first I'm hearing
about it. Oh, okay, so this must be a joke.
This is where hey, this is where he says something racist. Here,
this is what.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
No, this isn't racist. I've been practicing it for years
and you keep not letting me on. But this year
I'm going to do it because you have very few people, obviously.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
And mostly because we take your calls. That's why.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Yeah, Well, Bella's on board. I'm going to dry hum
and that's going to be the act.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
You laughed at that. I like that.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
How about my bank robber? He's my southern division.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Well, you know a thing or two about bank robbery,
and you want to give any advice. You want to
give any advice to the chiefs fan since you've robbed
banks before anything, you want to give any piece of wisdom.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Yeah, don't get caught.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yes, that seems rather rather a good advice. Yes do Yeah,
that's that's this guy.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
This guy is going to be dumber than me. He
keeps from keep he kept robbing them, keep getting the money,
and then he kept doing it.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, because the guy would rob The guy would rob
the banks and then he would go gamble all the
money away and he'd lose and to make online videos,
and then he'd brag about how much he was betting
because it wasn't his money, it was the bank's money,
so he didn't care.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
He should he should have just come down to Jacksonville
because these cops down here are so stupid it's unbelievable. Yes,
they direct traffic.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
No, I don't know anyone that can direct traffic though, Seriously,
everywhere every se I've traveled all over the United States,
I have never seen a person that knows how to
direct traffic like those traffic cops. They make things worse
They do not make things better. It's craziness. You'd think
that these people are trained to direct traffic, they would
be good at it. But I have never yet to see.
I'm sure they exist, I don't know where, but I
(20:36):
have never seen in all my travels around the United States,
I've never seen a traffic cop directing traffic in the
middle of the intersection that knows what the heck's going
on and it actually makes things better. Yeah, now, I know,
I'm fascinating. So some great price gouging from the Major
(20:56):
League Baseball All Star Game in Seattle. Now, they had
All Star Game there about twenty years ago. Parking for
the All Star Game about twenty years ago is twenty
five dollars right near the ballpark. You want to take
a guess how much the parking right near the ballpark
is going for this year's All Star Game, which is
by the way tonight in Seattle. Would you like to
(21:17):
take a shot at this, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Well, you know, I'm really good at this. I'm very
very good.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
You're better at this than eating cookies.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I know that now, that's definitely not true. But I'm
gonna say two hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I see you're terrible at this game. Eddie've ruined the game.
You just said that, and you've ruined the game. See now,
to me, this seems like an outrageous amount of money
to pay for parking.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I'll be the judge of that.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
They are charging right across from the ballpark there in Seattle.
There's a big sign. I saw the photo making the
rounds on the socials. You can get parking there for
one hundred and twenty dollars.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
That's actually not that outreason.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
This is Seattle. It's not La and he's not New York.
It's Seattle. It matters. It matters to me, okay, it
matters to the people a Seattle that move off the
Pacific Northwest.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
You any amount of money charge for parking matters because
you walk five I will to avoid paying.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
In the early days of Fox Sports Radio, I'm not
that's not even a joke. Before they went cheap, they
used to have these massive Christmas parties, right and big
Beverly Hills Hotel. You went to some of those, right.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Speaking of Jim Rome, I sat at the table.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I met Jim Rome there, Art Bell, I met Casey Kase.
I already knew him a little bit. Doctor. These are
big radio stars. We were radio and hear these were
the biggest names in radio. I met Matt Drudge was
at that. He used to do a show for the
company anyway, and they would they would have parking, but
it was they get to pay for it. The Beverly
Hills Hotel. So I would park literally, I would be.
I'd be by the time I got in, I was
(22:42):
covered in sweat. I'd walk it. Ever since, what happened?
Did you work out?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I got free parking. I had to go all the
way down Wilshire, but I got free parking. Yeah that's
pretty bad. I saved money though, Yeah, but I imagine back then,
I mean, because this was hous fat. Yeah, I'm just
saying this had to be, you know, close to twenty
years ago. You know, fifty. You don't have to it.
(23:07):
You don't have to years. You don't have to date me.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
So you you walked all that way, got all sweaty
before this swanky Christmas party with all these famous people. Yeah,
you have to rather than pay what like twenty bucks
to get at val Aid.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
But twenty dollars is in today's money. Think about today's
I mean what I'm gonna tell I'm gonna go to
the inflation calculator. Okay, right now.

Tim Tebow. Do you understand that.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
That was a while ago? Not anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
He's the greatest comedy roast we ever did? Was the
Tim Tebow comedy roast? I will my last breath. I

Event Center will be the host of the team and
they're gonna have what's what's is he? What's the name
of the Utah Grizzlies. Is he is he owning that
team or the Idaho Steelheads? And how are those on
the East Coast?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Yeah, it's they. They've actually officially changed the name to ehl.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Oh, so they don't call it. But that's not short
for the East Coast.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Was at one time. Now it's now it's fairly short
for nothing.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It's just so stupid. That's like Homer J. Simpson. The
J just doesn't have any It's just Jay. It's Homer J. Simpson. Okay,
so we don't even know which is Teebo's part ownership
of which team?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I thought it was a new team that was starting
in Reno.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Oh, it's in Reno. What's the new of the team
in Reno. I don't know. I just saw that. Oh
the h it says the Tahoe excuse me, Tahoe, Lake Tahoe. Oh,
that's a great place to hang out, Lake Tahoe. Because
he got gambling on one side, then you got high
taxes on the other there in California, so too, it's
a wonderful all right, Well, good luck to Tim Tebow
and wonderful, wonderful for him. Hallelujah. It is the Ben
(26:23):
Maler show. As we continue on, and let's say hello
to Andrea. He's standing by in Berkeley. She's got her
star charts out right now, these sports sorceress checking in.
Hello Andrea, Hello are you? If I was any better,
I would be an All Star fan, But not in
Seattle paying one hundred and twenty dollars for parking. By
(26:45):
the way, I did look it up, and back in
the old days when I had to pay twenty five
dollars for parking at the Beverly Hills Hotel, in today's money,
thirty four dollars and thirty six cents. So I saved
thirty four dollars and thirty six cents. In your face code,
in your face thirty four. It does help me. It's
a lot of money. You can buy like one cheeseburger
(27:07):
with that money.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Now, No, I know how expensive it is. I remember
last year when I went to Dead End Company at
Chase Center. The parking was so expensive. My friend had
her daughter just drive the car around and pick us up.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
You got to put your body armor on and take
bart is what you got to do to go to.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
You got a point there, Yeah, but yeah, I know,
quite an All Star game sixteen years to the day,
Glad Junior won the home run derby sixteen years after
his dad did, So that was interesting timing. But yeah, no,
I'm glad you shared that about the New York Times.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I hear your writing for the athletics. Is this correct?
And little Birdie told me that is that? Right? Wow?
Speaker 9 (27:50):
Interesting timing. I just started working for the Athletic and
you know, sharing sports astrology articles and such.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Who knew? Yeah, Eddie's shocked over there, that's true.
Speaker 9 (28:06):
Yeah, you know, the sports astrology is a unique niche
and I appreciate the opportunity at your show, and uh,
it will be interesting to see the athletic But so.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You might end up how great would this? You might
end up on the pages of the New York Times,
the printed New York Times.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Well, yeah, you know what. I was very sorry to
hear that. Being a New York Mets fan, you know,
I have the online version that I would get and
i'd you know, subscribe to that and you could share
the article and post it. But sometimes, like when Steve
Cohene gave that big address to the team, actually bought
the printed version to read all about it.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You have to hold that in your hands there, right, And.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
So I'm just sorry to see that sports section go,
especially as some of.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
The people that work there, Yes, they are all so
sorry to see it go there. I can get reassigned
to the crime beat and all that that. Well, they
got reassigned because they paid five hundred fifty million for
the athletics. So you pay that kind of money, You're
not doing that to have it on layaway.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
So yeah, so.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
Sorry to see you know that go. I mean I
grew up, you know, the New York Post, the back page,
daily News.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
You know how things change, andrew everything's online. You're online.
You're in the online world.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
Now, that's but you know something about the New York newspapers,
the New York It's like it's like flying.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
People used to fly. They dress up in their their
church clothes and go on the plane and wear hats
and dresses and suits. And now we are all slobs
and sandals and shorts.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
We're comfortable, yes, But you know, just the New York Post,
the Daily News, those back pages been. They even put
it on on MLB network, those screaming headlines, and they
make fun of things and they show things and it's
just really.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Oh, the New York Post is wonderful as far as
that's concerned. For sure. Those headlines are outstanding. All right,
well we'll leave it there. Andrewa thank you, good luck
with your writing, and make sure to slip our name
in the New York Times anytime. Thank you. All right,
we'll take all that. That's right, we'll have to put
