the radio show version. The other podcast will be up

pal Danny g Radio. We will play Space Invaders. We'll
(00:23):
have a very interesting by request phrase of the week
that you will only hear on that podcast, something that
we use on the radio show, something that I like
to say and somebody asked me what's the origin of that?
And we'll have some other surprises along the way. In fact,
talk about fresh original content. We'll have it all weekend
long on today, today, on Saturday and Sunday. Original audio
(00:46):
for the Fifth Hour podcast that'll be available here. An
hour number one A coaching rant heard round the NFL.
Why are some Bronco people upset with coach Sean Payton
for what he said? What was the motivation for Payton
to bodyslam the former Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett? Plus how
comes Sean Payton unloaded on the Jets? In general? Forgetting
(01:10):
Aaron Rodgers. We'll talk about all that and more right now,
give it up for a nice hour. Number one a
verbal throwdown. Wel come, in the beginning of another edition

proper plans. If you were so interested to have a
little get together, We're gonna have that, and it's not
that far away. Be here before you know it. But
our leave this hour coming from the Mile High City.
A rant for the ages as an NFL head coach
of the Denver football team got on a soapbox and
(02:57):
started howling down to the village below. If you didn't
hear about this, maybe you've been busy doing stuff and
you didn't pay that close attention. So we read the
comments from Sean Payton, who really really just spill his guts.
Sean Payton, talking about the twenty twenty two Broncos, said
(03:22):
that they had one of the worst coaching jobs in
the history of the NFL, and he added that there
were multiple dirty hands in the downfall of Russell Wilson,
So that was the money part of the quote. But
Peyton wasn't done there. He offered some passive criticism of
(03:43):
the Broncos for the way they handled players, the coaching staff,
and Nathaniel Hackett, who couldn't hack it. As the Denver
head coach, he managed workloads NFL version of load management,
and Sean Payne underlined that the Broncos were twenty ninth
in the league in pre snap penalties on both sides
(04:05):
of the ball, he went on. But wait there's more.
Sean Payton said everything he heard about last season. Peyton
said that they're doing the opposite of it now in
the fallout from the RAN. He spoke this out to
a scribe from the USA today, which I guess is
(04:26):
still in business. I didn't know that I could have
that little weather map thing they used to have that
was like kind of a big deal. But anyway, Sean
Payton has been called a snake. People now turning on
Sean Payton. There are murmurs that some of the Denver
executives are upset with what Peyton had to say, Others
(04:46):
claiming that the Broncos have now put a bullseye on
their back, that this was not helpful. The standard dramatic
overreaction machine has been cranked up. So let us discuss
the question why are certain Broncos people in a tizzy
all upset with Sean Payton. So I have World War two,
(05:08):
George Lucas and down range, and we will tie all
of these things together and we are going to make
a hot Tomali is what we're gonna make. So a
Sean Payton, what he did here was just unload all
the artillery, all of the artillery at the former head coach.
(05:30):
I love it as a talk show host. Give me more.
I want it in my veins. I would like it
in my visu. He went scorched Earth. It was magnificent.
It was majestic and marvelous. Very rarely, very rarely do
you get this kind of raw, unfiltered attack. But the
(05:53):
issue at hand, here at the issue at hand, Sean Payton,
who's been around, He's seen a thing or two, because
he's done a thing or two in the NFL. Sean
Payton goes on a World War two strategic bombing run,
dropping a cluster bomb on the next door neighbors. Now,
(06:13):
nothing that Sean Payton said was incorrect. The people that
are criticizing Sean Payton are not criticizing the actual statements
that he made. It's just that he shouldn't have said
those things even though their reality. So he goes scattershot
and the spoiler alert here. The same jabbronis who hired
(06:34):
Nathaniel Hackett are still working for the Denver football team.
So Sean Payton just announced that the people that hired
him are brainless varmints who hired the last head coach,
the old Dufus Malufus, who handpicked the former coach there
(06:56):
in Denver and is still running the show now, Page two.
What was the motivation to go off the rails by
Sean Payton. It's gotta be a reason, a method to
the madness there to body slam body slam Nathaniel Hackett.
So it is a form of psychological warfare, manipulation. I'm
(07:19):
going Star Wars George Lucas a Jedi mind trick from
Sean Payton. Let me explain. So, Sean Payton, what he
did here was break the brotherhood, the decorum of football coaches.
We often point out that on the day to day basis,
we have audio every day, We have audio from just
(07:40):
about every head coach in the NFL. We very rarely
play it because almost all of it is worthless because
no one says anything. They don't want to offend anyone.
They don't want to step on any toes because you're
not supposed to do that. It's a brotherhood coaching in
the NFL. So here we have a guy that stepped
outside of the inner circle to unlow. But he did
(08:07):
it for a reason. He did it for a reason.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Talked about the strategic nature of this, but Sean Payton
just didn't break out the lightsaber and do that on
his own for no reason. This was a tribute to
pay homage to Russell Wilson painting this amazing mosaic that
mister Unlimited got a raw deal, that Russ was the victim.
(08:36):
And I can sense the eyeballs rolling to the back
of the head of the long time Seahawks fans who
watched Russell Wilson for years there. But yeah, Peyton's the
reason he did this is Nathaniel Hackey was the village
idiot and Russell Wilson or he was the victim. Right
(08:59):
He's he's been given a bum rap because he had
a ragamuffin as his head coach, and so you're shifting
responsibility to Nathaniel Hackett. So I went back and I
looked through my notes because I thought maybe I had
missed something and might have missed a game or two
of the Seahawks played in, the Broncos played in, these
other teams played in, you know occasionally. So Nathaniel Hacket
(09:21):
I went back and looked, and he had as many
pass attempts for the Denver Broncos, as.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
You did and I did so, Yeah, that's the ticket. Now,
I do think Nathaniel Hackett is a product of nepotism
and is dreadful. I don't think that's a shocking take
right there. That's not an unpopular opinion. But the reason
that this is so comical is that you're doing this
(09:51):
to suck up. If you're Sean Payton, you're sucking up
to Russell Wilson. But don't forget Terry Bradshaw, who was
a colleague of Sean Peyton at Fox when Peyton was
in the running for the Bronco job. Bradshaw said, you
know what, Sean Payton, he doesn't want to coach Russell Wilson.
He's not interested. That's pretty much what we say. I'm paraphrasing,
(10:11):
but that's pretty much we said. You can google it,
and so Sean Payton it's like, okay, you know what
to do. I'm gonna blame everything, all of those interceptions,
the offensive lineman having a coup. Remember that on Christmas
the Broncos played the Rams in LA and the game
was a route or a route. The offensive line screaming
at Russell Wilson. They exposed him for high stepping down
(10:34):
a transcontinental flight to London, and it was just anything
you can do to embarrass Russell Wilson. His teammates were
embarrassed him because they hated him. But no, it's Nathaniel
Hacket's fault, all Nathaniel Hackett. And so Sean Payton will
go and need some pharmaceuticals, go down to Walgreens. There
after he gets the full Russell Wilson experience because outside
(10:57):
of an unexpected resurrection, at this point, it's just going
to be more as bestis. That's it. And at least
Peyton can afford some really good help because he's making
a ton, he's got that big bloated contract. He's doing
very well, all right, last word here, So there is
(11:17):
another chapter to this part of the story. So the
Denver coach also dismissed dream teams and air quotes those
dream teams that they're not able to deliver championships. He
pointed out that there are several teams brought up the
Washington Redskins from back in the day that had assembled
(11:38):
a dream team, mentioned a Giants team. There were a
couple of teams he brought up. I forget exactly who.
I don't think. He brought up the Eagles, and the
Eagles when they had made a couple of moves several
years back, they were called a dream team that didn't
work out for him. But he pointed out that it
just doesn't. It's not that easy. You can't just pick
up star players and win like that. And then he
(11:59):
mentioned the Jets, as the Jets are trying to do it.
He lamented Sean Payton. He said, the pr the pomp
and circumstance, marching people around and all that stuff. Now,
of course, the Jets had a rebuke and they were
very upset, and the coach, Robert Sala, the wanna be
motivational speaker, was like, give me more, give me more.
(12:22):
So how come Sean Payton included the Jets in his
ran about Nathaniel Hackett? So it was unintentional. I realized
that Hackett is employed by Gang Green. But the Jets
in this quote, the Jets were catching strays. They were
caught the Jets down range and Sean Payton in this
(12:45):
profound rant, shooting from the hip. And he's working undercover
though for the marketing arm of the NFL. That's the
kicker on this why Sean Payton has just created a
must see matchup up as the Broncos and their rag
tag roster. Sean Payton's team will host the Nathaniel Hackett
(13:09):
Circus the Aaron Rodgers Traveling Party in week five. That's
October eighth, Sunday, October eighth is the date. Now I
mentioned Robert sala responded to Sean Payton, and just to
prove that I'm not making that up, let's go to
the audio tape. Listen to Robert Sala here as he
has his rebuke of the Broncos coach.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well, I'm not going to acknowledge Sean on that is
he you know, he's been in the league while he
can say whatever the hell he wants. But as far
as you know what we have going on here, I
kind of lived by a say, if you ain't got
no haters, you ain't popping so hate away. Obviously we're
doing something right if you've got to talk about us
when we don't play it till week four, and I'm
good with it. You know, the guys in our locker room,
they've earned everything that's coming to him and really excited
(13:52):
about what's going on. I think Hackett's doing a phenomenal
job here him, the coaching staff is doing a phenomenal job,
and we're focused on us.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
There's a lot of extra noise. There's a lot of
people who are hating on us. There's a lot of
people looking for us to fail. There's a lot of
crows pecanet or neck. But all you can do is
spread your wings, keep flying high until those crows fall
off and suffocate from the inability to breathe. It's a
whole nother analogy I'll get into later, but really really
excited about the group we have, the coaching that's going on,
But I'm going to keep our focus on us and
(14:19):
making sure that we're prepared every single day to do
the best we can and learn from our past.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And grow with every moment that we have. So he
just rattled off about seventeen cliches. Some of those not
even sports cliches. Those are just life cliches that he
rattled off. And what you just heard right there was
an NFL head coach saying that I'm not going to engage,
and then he gave us about forty five seconds loud
(14:46):
and proud of a rebuttal so it's like it's like
a politician. I am not going to address that, and
then you addressed it. Seriously, folks, I'm not going to
address that. But let me tell you something right now. Well,
you know everyone hates nobody believes in us, truly bugging me? Yeah, okay,
thank you. Every single team in the NFL, every team
(15:09):
in sports, nobody believed in us. Yes, they're out to
get us. The haters, the haters. It is the Band

It's Ben Mallor, Big Night later on Lame Jokes of

and we've got Balderdash in the final hour.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
We began here with a Sean Payton themed Mallard monologue
as the Broncos head coach, unloading on Nathaniel Hackett, and
it was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. The Russian Kid writes in, says,
Dear Eddie and Ben, is there any way you can
skip the Joe Burrow news. It's just too much to
(17:28):
take right now. No, it's fine, it'll be all right.
He's not out for the year, he's not out for
an extended period of time. He'll miss pretty much all
a training camp and he'll be back. John writes in,
says eight out of ten on the Mallard monologue, what
is your late night fast food order? Well, right now,
it's nothing, John, because I do this ridiculous intermittent fasting.
(17:48):
But back in the day, I had a rotation and
I love the Windy's late night. Sometimes I mix and
Little Mickey D's. It really depended on the fast food
restaurants near where I lived. I had an apartment in Hollywood,
and there was a gauntlet of fast food restaurants that
I would rotate through, and they all knew my name,
(18:09):
they all knew my name. I ate there that much.
So but there's some better fast two places now. Like
when I was living that life, there was no raising
canes that didn't exist some of the other newer fast
food places that were not around there, I can't close
the deal. Neo rights In says, have we heard about
breaking news on who's replacing Roberto? No, there's no formal announcement,
(18:34):
although Eddie has made his own announcement. So just listen
to Eddie. He'll break the news before management. Shane from
Des Moines writes In says, a plus plus on the
Mala monologue, can we get a newbie caller night soon?
Or ban Rhode Island and the Commonwealth from calling? So
Shane and de Moine triggered by callers from the Commonwealth
bothered by that, annoyed by that, not a fan, Let's
(18:57):
go to Butch in Germany on the international line. That's
Auto Bond Butch. Hello, Auto Bond Butch.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Good morning everybody, Gluten.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
Dog, Hello, Hello Wiener Schnitzel.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yes, yes, Hello, what's up?
Speaker 7 (19:16):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
That's my favorite question. Let's see. So, I got a
slight headache, but I think it's more because the heat
been very hot here where we do the show from
so I think it's heat related. I don't think it's
relating anything else. I have a massive wound on my leg.
I dropped a samurai sword on my leg. I had
(19:39):
stitches placed in my leg that is still healing. So
other than that, thanks for asking. I appreciate that's very kind.
Nobody ever asked me that question. I never get asked
that question.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Well, Eddie Coop. Yeah, good to hear from you. Guys.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
You want to know how they're doing, too, but you
want to hear how they're doing. Yeah, okay, Eddie. How
are you doing, Eddie.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
I'm doing well. Thank you for asking.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Okay, anything you want to any problems with your life, Eddie,
anything you want to complain about traffic, the price of gas,
food prices, anything at all, I'm good. Okay, Coop a Loop,
how are you doing? Listen, our friend driving the Autobahn
wants to know Coop Butcher in Germany doing pretty well. Yeah,
any complaints not at this moment. No. Okay. So, now
(20:27):
now that we've addressed that, for the rest of the night,
not a single caller is going to ask how we're doing.
We have now let you know how we are doing,
so that means the rest of the show there's no
need to ask. Because if our status changed, Eddie Coop,
if your status changes, crack the mic on, let me know,
(20:47):
and I promise you as a listener, if my status
changes at all, I'll let you know. Okay, I'll pass
it on.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Yeah, I'm glad to chop that save a lot of
time for you guys.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yes, you're you're helping us out. You're making us very efficient,
is what you're doing.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Yeah, I try, I try, you know, being a American guy,
military dude living here in Germany. Yeah, maybe that's my person.
I have a question for you, pretty random, nothing to
do with anything you talked about.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
But I kind of throw this around the room.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Why is Ricky Waters not in the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Way that? I did not think that would come up
on the show. I was hoping, I gotta tell you,
but I was hoping. I was holding we talked some
Ricky Waters and here we are, So I didn't think
it would come up though, right, I didn't think that
was what So just for the record, I did about
twenty minutes on Sean Payton and the Broncos and the
(21:48):
first call we get is how you're doing and can
we talk some Ricky Waters? Yeah, that's you just heard that.
That's how that goes. So that's the thing. Butch, that's
the thing that you're thinking about, right, You're thinking about
Ricky Waters. Why would you be doing that?
Speaker 8 (22:07):
Like, I love our callers, ben, I love our callers.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Yeah, you guys, you guys think you not like you know?
Did you not like him?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Is he?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah? He took a girl I was dating. He stole
her away from me. So I'm upset with Ricky Waters.
I'm bitter and broken by that. Yeah what am I?
What am I supposed to do with that? What do
you want me to do?
Speaker 7 (22:33):
I don't Yeah, I think it's I think it's I
think it's a legitimate question. I think the guy should
be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Well somewhere, Ricky Waters is sleeping right now and he's like, oh,
maybe he's having a dream and he's thinking, maybe someone's
calling a radio show while I'm sleeping here and trying
to campaign for me to get in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Anyway, I gotta I gotta go, thank you, thank you,
but amazing phone call and that's why.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Yeah, that made an international phone call for that.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yes, yes, Andy.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Well money well spend?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Now? Is he charged the military because he works for
the military, So they probably don't pay for that.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
I would assume, right, I would assume not Yeah, thinking.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Thinking not so hey go and that call right there
is an example why consultants say don't take any calls
in sports rate. But no, I'm kidding. I like I like.
He's quite the character.

Speaker 9 (23:57):
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get

Speaker 5 (24:02):
You have the Cubs over the Cardinals ten three and
a bit of a tense game. Ejections and there was
a bar there was right off the bat, right off
the bat, first inning. Miles Michael Is getting ejected there
in the first inning, foretting a guy in the butt
with the sixty mile an hour change.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Up, but you can't hit somebody in the tookpparently not.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Apparently the game has changed the game.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Keep your ball to yourself.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
That's right, by the way.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
We have to say that because he threw a ball there.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Boy, baseball's changed a lot. It has changed a lot
because in the old days that would happen. It's like, okay,
we got it out of the way, and okay with
the game. Yeah, now the a whole umpires, the schmuck
umpires have to kick out the picture so stupid.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I missed the I missed the bench clearing brawls though.
Where the the bullpens run in? I missed that.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
We had that. We had that yesterday. I think there
was our day before. It happens very rarely these days
happened the run running in.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Well, yeah, it's always dumb. They should just fight out
there in the outfield and the bullpens. They don't do
that run in and then they fight.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Yeah, some college football. One day after the Big Twelve
voted unanimously to except the University of Colorado into the conference,
the school's board of regents unanimously voted to join the
conference beginning with the twenty twenty four to twenty five
school years. So again the Buffalo's rumbling back into the
Big twelve where they they once in the Big Eight
back in the day. So yes, what ever's old is
(25:24):
new again?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Does that mean Nebraska's going to come back next? Is
that the next movie? I think?
Speaker 8 (25:29):
I think that would be great. I'd love that as
an old guy.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You'd like to see in Nebraska because you remember when
Nebraska the most dominating college football team and they would
run over people. They had the biggest offensive, like corn
fed offensive line. Yeah, that would just pancake defensive players.
And they ran that offense, that gimmick offense, which nobody's
(25:51):
really running that anymore, right these days? That's old.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Will Now they spread you out and they run it
with the quarterback. Yeah, now they didn't know Dutch do
like the.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Tight ends and it'll just line it up and run
it down your throat, bash heads.
Speaker 8 (26:04):
I'd like to see it make a comeback though.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
It would be cool. Yeah, why don't we get a
coaching job and then we can work together and we'll
bring that back. No dominate college football done? Can we
get the job at Hawaii? Is that job open? Because
that would be a cool place to hang out.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
You know, it would be good away from the football field,
but on the football field not so great.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
No, they don't even have a stadium there, right. They
got rid of a Lohak, got a.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
Little Yeah, they got a little on campus thing they're doing.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Now they're building a new one.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
I think it might be finished.
Speaker 1 (26:32):

Meet Greet. It was awesome. I had a great time
in Minneapolis, and we wanted to do something in our
home base in Los Angeles, and we tossed it out
on the air and I got a phone call, or
actually it was an email. It was an email from
this cat. He's like, you know, I would like the host.
I would like to host the event. And so I said, okay,
(27:43):
let's make that happen. Then we had some back and forth.
I was kind of waiting for Eddie to give me
the okay on that, and he finally gave me the okay.
And now he's still not sure if he's going to
be there. But the Malord Meet and Greet. For more
on this, let's go to the host of the Malor
Meet and Greet, die hard Buffalo bill apologist Andy the
(28:04):
Comic book Guy. Hello, Andy Man. Yes, Andy, this is
the big announcement here. Andy, we are going to get together.
You run the top comic book shop in southern California.
Is that correct, Andy?
Speaker 10 (28:18):
That is correct. That is a fact of the day,
absolutely a fun fact of the day.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
And it's not just comic books, right, You're more than
just a comic book shop. You got a little bit
of this, a little bit of that, right, you know

Speaker 10 (28:30):
Yeah, we've got sports cards and got you know yeah all.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Right, yeah sure, sure, yeah you got all that crap.
Speaker 10 (28:38):
All right.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
So anyway, it's cool and I've not been to a
comic book shop in a long time, so I said, well,
this is great. We should get together hang out of
the comic book shop. So we have scheduled the date
on this. We would love for you to attend if
you're geographically desirable to attend, and it would be great.
It is going to take place on August nineteenth, So
August nineteenth is the date. It'll be in the day.
(29:02):
That's a Saturday. Yeah, so it's it's a day off.
We're not obviously doing the show that day, but we're
on a day off. That's how much we care about you.
And let's it's not know we're gonna hang out with
you from two pm to four pm obviously l a
West Coast time. And uh, there's a special surprise performance
that you were not allowed to talk about, is that right, Andy?
(29:24):
We can't talk about that.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
That is correct.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
There is a special surprise performance. We can't talk about
right now, awaiting final confirmation. Just one more, one more
go for it, launch the rocket. But we're close, all right?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Do we want people to rs VP for this or
just see who shows up? Either way is fine, I'm
finding either all right?
Speaker 10 (29:47):
Just show up, okay if you're coming from the Melon Militia,
because that that day is also our six year anniversary
party that we're grouping in with a Mellor meet and
greet the most American radio show in all of sports talk.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I wrapped myself. I wrapped myself in the flag. So
six years, that's good, good run. Six years. You survived
the pandemic and stayed in business, so that's impressive. And
we'll be hanging out. And I would also like to add,
since Eddie complained Andy that there would be no food,
I am planning, barring some kind of last minute snaffoo,
(30:29):
I am planning to bring homemade cookies. I will bring you. Yeah,
I'm not even able to eat them because I'm I'm paranoid.
If I eat them, I'll you know, I'll be fasting.
But I will bring them and so you'll be able
to eat my cookies. You will have my cookies. That
sounds dirty, doesn't all it sounds that sounds bad. Okay,
(30:51):
that's not I don't need that, okay any anyway, And
so the name of your your comic book shop, what
is the name is this Brave New World Comics? Is
that correct?
Speaker 10 (31:02):
That is correct? In Santa Clarita, California, we're about a
thirty minute drive north of Pasadena. It's okay, the northern
most city in La County.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, and there's mony. There's a big amusement park not
far from you, right there is It.
Speaker 10 (31:18):
Has six figs.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Correct.
Speaker 10 (31:20):
So I'm going to try really really really really really
hard to find Eddie's jersey by then.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It is well that that'll get Eddie. See. See, Eddie
is a game time decision with these things, because sometimes
he'll cancel the last minute. But if he knows he's
getting a jersey, he'll show up. Okay, he will show
up to that for sure. Now we don't know about
Coople Loop. Coople Loop very rarely does these things. So
Coople Loop, what do you think, Coop? That's not too
bad geographic wise for you?
Speaker 8 (31:48):
You mean I very rarely do these things.
Speaker 10 (31:51):
Well, but hey, I heard I heard you love you
love salad. So I'll make sure I have your favorite dressing,

I see I see near near your establishment, there's there's
someplace called egg Plantation.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Is that a nice brunch place?
Speaker 8 (32:11):
Should I go have brunch there first?
Speaker 10 (32:13):
It is an excellent egg plantation egg Plantation destination for brunch.

And so it's you know, it's a fair clip from
the north Woods where I come from. But I'm looking
forward to doing it. So thank you, Andy.
Speaker 10 (33:47):
All right, brave and coming, and you know, things get confirmed,

(34:14):
I appreciate that it's gonna be a lot of fun
and Eddie will be there. I think Coop sounds like
he's gonna be there, so you can hang out and
say hello to those guys. Straight ahead, we're gonna have
the MLB pick him. Here's the who am I?
Speaker 8 (34:25):
Game?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Here we go. After a shake one inning relief performance
in which I gave up the go ahead run, my
Major League Baseball record setting losing streak came to an
abrupt end. Again we're looking for the name of this person.
Who am I? At a shaky one inning relief appearance
(34:46):
on this date, by the way, many years back, and
I gave up the go ahead run. But my record
setting losing streak came to an abrupt end because my
team scored twice in the ninth inning. The game me
the victory, ending the record losing streak in baseball history
for a pitcher. Who am I? That is the question.
(35:07):
The answer will get to it, and we'll have the
MLB pick and we will do it next.

And time now for the who Ami Game, a blatant
attempt to get you to listen a few minutes longer.
Thus we call it the who Amigame. And here is
today's question. See if you get this right. After a
shake one inning relief performance, I gave up a go
ahead run in the ninth inning. My team scored twice
(36:09):
in the bottom of the ninth inning to give me
the win, ending a record losing streak, the most longest
losing streak in baseball history by a single pitcher. That
is the question. What is the answer? Big Lou from
the LBC says intermittent Fasting champ Manute Bowl Jerry Grote
(36:31):
guess by mister nice guy. As he continues to go
through random baseball players. Cowboy Killer says it has to
be the Dark Knight, that's his answer. Who else do
we have? Denzel Washington from the Raider Freak Rod, the
Ambassador of Bakersfield, got it right. Bad job by him,
Rowdy Roddy Piper, or as he says, Pepper from Tortilla Mantoni.
(36:51):
I know, I see what you did there, all right?
Courtney Kardashian randomly tossed out by the Dixter parody account.

Derwin James as his answer, PAULI d got it right.
Fields of Green. Going with the man that blew the
World Series for the Cleveland Indians, Jose Mesa. I saw
(37:14):
him blow that World Series years ago against the Marlins.
Who else do we have? Page down the Garcia Burner
account says Hall of Famer Ricky Waters is the answer.
A tribute to our friend Butcher on the Autobahn there
in Germany. Robin Minnesota says aj Prazinski is the answer.
Kathy in Madison going with Elon MUCKs as the selection.
(37:35):
Scott in Rhode Island says Ronald McDonald is the way
to go. Alf the Alien Opiner says the original joker.
But that is a scary looking photo. Man, what is
he in prison? Yeah, he's in prison playing baseball. Wow,
that's interesting. Che K Hernandez I liked him in that

(37:57):
Terry Forrester from Eke and Roseviio Minnesota. Clarence Chu Chu
Coleman from the Maverick. Fernando Valenzuela from Jeremy in Minnesota.
Most important Dodger of all time Fernando Valenzuela, Eddie. Do
you have an answer, Eddie?
Speaker 8 (38:12):
Oh yes, it's another Dodger. It's the great Gavin Lux.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Gavin Lux. Is that correct? No, that is not correct?
The correct answer. In Immortal New York, met May he
rest in peace. Died several years ago. Anthony Young he
lost twenty seven consecutive decisions, a all time baseball record.
Eighty one appearances over two seasons. He had fourteen losses
as a starter, thirteen as a reliever. And then he
(38:40):
didn't have a long career in baseball. Has He worked
at a chemical plant after he left the Mets in baseball,
And he worked at a chemical plant for eight years
and then got a brain tumor and died. So sad story.
But he had an interesting run. Right here we go,
let's get to it. We have time, we can do
it quickly. It's the MLB, Pickham and the order. Here
is the order, Coop, did you send me the Eddie?
(39:01):
Go ahead, Eddie quickly.
Speaker 8 (39:03):

And we'll have some other surprises along the way. In fact,

(00:46):
for the Fifth Hour podcast that'll be available here. An
hour number one A coaching rant heard round the NFL.
Why are some Bronco people upset with coach Sean Payton
for what he said? What was the motivation for Payton
to bodyslam the former Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett? Plus how
comes Sean Payton unloaded on the Jets? In general? Forgetting
(01:10):
Aaron Rodgers. We'll talk about all that and more right now,
give it up for a nice hour. Number one a
verbal throwdown. Wel come, in the beginning of another edition
of the Ben Valor Show. We are in the air everywhere, homeboys,

(02:35):
proper plans. If you were so interested to have a
little get together, We're gonna have that, and it's not
that far away. Be here before you know it. But
our leave this hour coming from the Mile High City.
A rant for the ages as an NFL head coach
of the Denver football team got on a soapbox and
(02:57):
started howling down to the village below. If you didn't
hear about this, maybe you've been busy doing stuff and
you didn't pay that close attention. So we read the
comments from Sean Payton, who really really just spill his guts.
Sean Payton, talking about the twenty twenty two Broncos, said
(03:22):
that they had one of the worst coaching jobs in
the history of the NFL, and he added that there
were multiple dirty hands in the downfall of Russell Wilson,
So that was the money part of the quote. But
Peyton wasn't done there. He offered some passive criticism of
(03:43):
the Broncos for the way they handled players, the coaching staff,
and Nathaniel Hackett, who couldn't hack it. As the Denver
head coach, he managed workloads NFL version of load management,
and Sean Payne underlined that the Broncos were twenty ninth
in the league in pre snap penalties on both sides
(04:05):
of the ball, he went on. But wait there's more.
Sean Payton said everything he heard about last season. Peyton
said that they're doing the opposite of it now in
the fallout from the RAN. He spoke this out to
a scribe from the USA today, which I guess is
(04:26):
still in business. I didn't know that I could have
that little weather map thing they used to have that
was like kind of a big deal. But anyway, Sean
Payton has been called a snake. People now turning on
Sean Payton. There are murmurs that some of the Denver
executives are upset with what Peyton had to say, Others
(04:46):
claiming that the Broncos have now put a bullseye on
their back, that this was not helpful. The standard dramatic
overreaction machine has been cranked up. So let us discuss
the question why are certain Broncos people in a tizzy
all upset with Sean Payton. So I have World War two,
(05:08):
George Lucas and down range, and we will tie all
of these things together and we are going to make
a hot Tomali is what we're gonna make. So a
Sean Payton, what he did here was just unload all
the artillery, all of the artillery at the former head coach.
(05:30):
I love it as a talk show host. Give me more.
I want it in my veins. I would like it
in my visu. He went scorched Earth. It was magnificent.
It was majestic and marvelous. Very rarely, very rarely do
you get this kind of raw, unfiltered attack. But the
(05:53):
issue at hand, here at the issue at hand, Sean Payton,
who's been around, He's seen a thing or two, because
he's done a thing or two in the NFL. Sean
Payton goes on a World War two strategic bombing run,
dropping a cluster bomb on the next door neighbors. Now,
(06:13):
nothing that Sean Payton said was incorrect. The people that
are criticizing Sean Payton are not criticizing the actual statements
that he made. It's just that he shouldn't have said
those things even though their reality. So he goes scattershot
and the spoiler alert here. The same jabbronis who hired
(06:34):
Nathaniel Hackett are still working for the Denver football team.
So Sean Payton just announced that the people that hired
him are brainless varmints who hired the last head coach,
the old Dufus Malufus, who handpicked the former coach there
(06:56):
in Denver and is still running the show now, Page two.
What was the motivation to go off the rails by
Sean Payton. It's gotta be a reason, a method to
the madness there to body slam body slam Nathaniel Hackett.
So it is a form of psychological warfare, manipulation. I'm
(07:19):
going Star Wars George Lucas a Jedi mind trick from
Sean Payton. Let me explain. So, Sean Payton, what he
did here was break the brotherhood, the decorum of football coaches.
We often point out that on the day to day basis,
we have audio every day, We have audio from just
(07:40):
about every head coach in the NFL. We very rarely
play it because almost all of it is worthless because
no one says anything. They don't want to offend anyone.
They don't want to step on any toes because you're
not supposed to do that. It's a brotherhood coaching in
the NFL. So here we have a guy that stepped
outside of the inner circle to unlow. But he did
(08:07):
it for a reason. He did it for a reason.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Talked about the strategic nature of this, but Sean Payton
just didn't break out the lightsaber and do that on
his own for no reason. This was a tribute to
pay homage to Russell Wilson painting this amazing mosaic that
mister Unlimited got a raw deal, that Russ was the victim.
(08:36):
And I can sense the eyeballs rolling to the back
of the head of the long time Seahawks fans who
watched Russell Wilson for years there. But yeah, Peyton's the
reason he did this is Nathaniel Hackey was the village
idiot and Russell Wilson or he was the victim. Right
(08:59):
He's he's been given a bum rap because he had
a ragamuffin as his head coach, and so you're shifting
responsibility to Nathaniel Hackett. So I went back and I
looked through my notes because I thought maybe I had
missed something and might have missed a game or two
of the Seahawks played in, the Broncos played in, these
other teams played in, you know occasionally. So Nathaniel Hacket
(09:21):
I went back and looked, and he had as many
pass attempts for the Denver Broncos, as.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
You did and I did so, Yeah, that's the ticket. Now,
I do think Nathaniel Hackett is a product of nepotism
and is dreadful. I don't think that's a shocking take
right there. That's not an unpopular opinion. But the reason
that this is so comical is that you're doing this
(09:51):
to suck up. If you're Sean Payton, you're sucking up
to Russell Wilson. But don't forget Terry Bradshaw, who was
a colleague of Sean Peyton at Fox when Peyton was
in the running for the Bronco job. Bradshaw said, you
know what, Sean Payton, he doesn't want to coach Russell Wilson.
He's not interested. That's pretty much what we say. I'm paraphrasing,
(10:11):
but that's pretty much we said. You can google it,
and so Sean Payton it's like, okay, you know what
to do. I'm gonna blame everything, all of those interceptions,
the offensive lineman having a coup. Remember that on Christmas
the Broncos played the Rams in LA and the game
was a route or a route. The offensive line screaming
at Russell Wilson. They exposed him for high stepping down
(10:34):
a transcontinental flight to London, and it was just anything
you can do to embarrass Russell Wilson. His teammates were
embarrassed him because they hated him. But no, it's Nathaniel
Hacket's fault, all Nathaniel Hackett. And so Sean Payton will
go and need some pharmaceuticals, go down to Walgreens. There
after he gets the full Russell Wilson experience because outside
(10:57):
of an unexpected resurrection, at this point, it's just going
to be more as bestis. That's it. And at least
Peyton can afford some really good help because he's making
a ton, he's got that big bloated contract. He's doing
very well, all right, last word here, So there is
(11:17):
another chapter to this part of the story. So the
Denver coach also dismissed dream teams and air quotes those
dream teams that they're not able to deliver championships. He
pointed out that there are several teams brought up the
Washington Redskins from back in the day that had assembled
(11:38):
a dream team, mentioned a Giants team. There were a
couple of teams he brought up. I forget exactly who.
I don't think. He brought up the Eagles, and the
Eagles when they had made a couple of moves several
years back, they were called a dream team that didn't
work out for him. But he pointed out that it
just doesn't. It's not that easy. You can't just pick
up star players and win like that. And then he
(11:59):
mentioned the Jets, as the Jets are trying to do it.
He lamented Sean Payton. He said, the pr the pomp
and circumstance, marching people around and all that stuff. Now,
of course, the Jets had a rebuke and they were
very upset, and the coach, Robert Sala, the wanna be
motivational speaker, was like, give me more, give me more.
(12:22):
So how come Sean Payton included the Jets in his
ran about Nathaniel Hackett? So it was unintentional. I realized
that Hackett is employed by Gang Green. But the Jets
in this quote, the Jets were catching strays. They were
caught the Jets down range and Sean Payton in this
(12:45):
profound rant, shooting from the hip. And he's working undercover
though for the marketing arm of the NFL. That's the
kicker on this why Sean Payton has just created a
must see matchup up as the Broncos and their rag
tag roster. Sean Payton's team will host the Nathaniel Hackett
(13:09):
Circus the Aaron Rodgers Traveling Party in week five. That's
October eighth, Sunday, October eighth is the date. Now I
mentioned Robert sala responded to Sean Payton, and just to
prove that I'm not making that up, let's go to
the audio tape. Listen to Robert Sala here as he
has his rebuke of the Broncos coach.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well, I'm not going to acknowledge Sean on that is
he you know, he's been in the league while he
can say whatever the hell he wants. But as far
as you know what we have going on here, I
kind of lived by a say, if you ain't got
no haters, you ain't popping so hate away. Obviously we're
doing something right if you've got to talk about us
when we don't play it till week four, and I'm
good with it. You know, the guys in our locker room,
they've earned everything that's coming to him and really excited
(13:52):
about what's going on. I think Hackett's doing a phenomenal
job here him, the coaching staff is doing a phenomenal job,
and we're focused on us.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
There's a lot of extra noise. There's a lot of
people who are hating on us. There's a lot of
people looking for us to fail. There's a lot of
crows pecanet or neck. But all you can do is
spread your wings, keep flying high until those crows fall
off and suffocate from the inability to breathe. It's a
whole nother analogy I'll get into later, but really really
excited about the group we have, the coaching that's going on,
But I'm going to keep our focus on us and
(14:19):
making sure that we're prepared every single day to do
the best we can and learn from our past.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And grow with every moment that we have. So he
just rattled off about seventeen cliches. Some of those not
even sports cliches. Those are just life cliches that he
rattled off. And what you just heard right there was
an NFL head coach saying that I'm not going to engage,
and then he gave us about forty five seconds loud
(14:46):
and proud of a rebuttal so it's like it's like
a politician. I am not going to address that, and
then you addressed it. Seriously, folks, I'm not going to
address that. But let me tell you something right now. Well,
you know everyone hates nobody believes in us, truly bugging me? Yeah, okay,
thank you. Every single team in the NFL, every team
(15:09):
in sports, nobody believed in us. Yes, they're out to
get us. The haters, the haters. It is the Band
Malor Show you want to be part eight seven seven

It's Ben Mallor, Big Night later on Lame Jokes of
the Week, and a whole lot more up until then,
and we've got Balderdash in the final hour.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
We began here with a Sean Payton themed Mallard monologue
as the Broncos head coach, unloading on Nathaniel Hackett, and
it was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. The Russian Kid writes in, says,
Dear Eddie and Ben, is there any way you can
skip the Joe Burrow news. It's just too much to
(17:28):
take right now. No, it's fine, it'll be all right.
He's not out for the year, he's not out for
an extended period of time. He'll miss pretty much all
a training camp and he'll be back. John writes in,
says eight out of ten on the Mallard monologue, what
is your late night fast food order? Well, right now,
it's nothing, John, because I do this ridiculous intermittent fasting.
(17:48):
But back in the day, I had a rotation and
I love the Windy's late night. Sometimes I mix and
Little Mickey D's. It really depended on the fast food
restaurants near where I lived. I had an apartment in Hollywood,
and there was a gauntlet of fast food restaurants that
I would rotate through, and they all knew my name,
(18:09):
they all knew my name. I ate there that much.
So but there's some better fast two places now. Like
when I was living that life, there was no raising
canes that didn't exist some of the other newer fast
food places that were not around there, I can't close
the deal. Neo rights In says, have we heard about
breaking news on who's replacing Roberto? No, there's no formal announcement,
(18:34):
although Eddie has made his own announcement. So just listen
to Eddie. He'll break the news before management. Shane from
Des Moines writes In says, a plus plus on the
Mala monologue, can we get a newbie caller night soon?
Or ban Rhode Island and the Commonwealth from calling? So
Shane and de Moine triggered by callers from the Commonwealth
bothered by that, annoyed by that, not a fan, Let's
(18:57):
go to Butch in Germany on the international line. That's
Auto Bond Butch. Hello, Auto Bond Butch.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Good morning everybody, Gluten.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
Dog, Hello, Hello Wiener Schnitzel.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yes, yes, Hello, what's up?
Speaker 7 (19:16):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
That's my favorite question. Let's see. So, I got a
slight headache, but I think it's more because the heat
been very hot here where we do the show from
so I think it's heat related. I don't think it's
relating anything else. I have a massive wound on my leg.
I dropped a samurai sword on my leg. I had
(19:39):
stitches placed in my leg that is still healing. So
other than that, thanks for asking. I appreciate that's very kind.
Nobody ever asked me that question. I never get asked
that question.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Well, Eddie Coop. Yeah, good to hear from you. Guys.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
You want to know how they're doing, too, but you
want to hear how they're doing. Yeah, okay, Eddie. How
are you doing, Eddie.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
I'm doing well. Thank you for asking.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Okay, anything you want to any problems with your life, Eddie,
anything you want to complain about traffic, the price of gas,
food prices, anything at all, I'm good. Okay, Coop a Loop,
how are you doing? Listen, our friend driving the Autobahn
wants to know Coop Butcher in Germany doing pretty well. Yeah,
any complaints not at this moment. No. Okay. So, now
(20:27):
now that we've addressed that, for the rest of the night,
not a single caller is going to ask how we're doing.
We have now let you know how we are doing,
so that means the rest of the show there's no
need to ask. Because if our status changed, Eddie Coop,
if your status changes, crack the mic on, let me know,
(20:47):
and I promise you as a listener, if my status
changes at all, I'll let you know. Okay, I'll pass
it on.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Yeah, I'm glad to chop that save a lot of
time for you guys.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yes, you're you're helping us out. You're making us very efficient,
is what you're doing.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Yeah, I try, I try, you know, being a American guy,
military dude living here in Germany. Yeah, maybe that's my person.
I have a question for you, pretty random, nothing to
do with anything you talked about.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
But I kind of throw this around the room.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Why is Ricky Waters not in the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Way that? I did not think that would come up
on the show. I was hoping, I gotta tell you,
but I was hoping. I was holding we talked some
Ricky Waters and here we are, So I didn't think
it would come up though, right, I didn't think that
was what So just for the record, I did about
twenty minutes on Sean Payton and the Broncos and the
(21:48):
first call we get is how you're doing and can
we talk some Ricky Waters? Yeah, that's you just heard that.
That's how that goes. So that's the thing. Butch, that's
the thing that you're thinking about, right, You're thinking about
Ricky Waters. Why would you be doing that?
Speaker 8 (22:07):
Like, I love our callers, ben, I love our callers.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Yeah, you guys, you guys think you not like you know?
Did you not like him?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Is he?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah? He took a girl I was dating. He stole
her away from me. So I'm upset with Ricky Waters.
I'm bitter and broken by that. Yeah what am I?
What am I supposed to do with that? What do
you want me to do?
Speaker 7 (22:33):
I don't Yeah, I think it's I think it's I
think it's a legitimate question. I think the guy should
be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Well somewhere, Ricky Waters is sleeping right now and he's like, oh,
maybe he's having a dream and he's thinking, maybe someone's
calling a radio show while I'm sleeping here and trying
to campaign for me to get in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Anyway, I gotta I gotta go, thank you, thank you,
but amazing phone call and that's why.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Yeah, that made an international phone call for that.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yes, yes, Andy.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Well money well spend?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Now? Is he charged the military because he works for
the military, So they probably don't pay for that.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
I would assume, right, I would assume not Yeah, thinking.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Thinking not so hey go and that call right there
is an example why consultants say don't take any calls
in sports rate. But no, I'm kidding. I like I like.
He's quite the character.

Listen to This League Uncut with Chris Haynes and Mark Stein.
Speaker 9 (23:57):
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get
your podcast.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
You have the Cubs over the Cardinals ten three and
a bit of a tense game. Ejections and there was
a bar there was right off the bat, right off
the bat, first inning. Miles Michael Is getting ejected there
in the first inning, foretting a guy in the butt
with the sixty mile an hour change.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Up, but you can't hit somebody in the tookpparently not.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Apparently the game has changed the game.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Keep your ball to yourself.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
That's right, by the way.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
We have to say that because he threw a ball there.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Boy, baseball's changed a lot. It has changed a lot
because in the old days that would happen. It's like, okay,
we got it out of the way, and okay with
the game. Yeah, now the a whole umpires, the schmuck
umpires have to kick out the picture so stupid.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I missed the I missed the bench clearing brawls though.
Where the the bullpens run in? I missed that.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
We had that. We had that yesterday. I think there
was our day before. It happens very rarely these days
happened the run running in.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Well, yeah, it's always dumb. They should just fight out
there in the outfield and the bullpens. They don't do
that run in and then they fight.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Yeah, some college football. One day after the Big Twelve
voted unanimously to except the University of Colorado into the conference,
the school's board of regents unanimously voted to join the
conference beginning with the twenty twenty four to twenty five
school years. So again the Buffalo's rumbling back into the
Big twelve where they they once in the Big Eight
back in the day. So yes, what ever's old is
(25:24):
new again?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Does that mean Nebraska's going to come back next? Is
that the next movie? I think?
Speaker 8 (25:29):
I think that would be great. I'd love that as
an old guy.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You'd like to see in Nebraska because you remember when
Nebraska the most dominating college football team and they would
run over people. They had the biggest offensive, like corn
fed offensive line. Yeah, that would just pancake defensive players.
And they ran that offense, that gimmick offense, which nobody's
(25:51):
really running that anymore, right these days? That's old.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Will Now they spread you out and they run it
with the quarterback. Yeah, now they didn't know Dutch do
like the.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Tight ends and it'll just line it up and run
it down your throat, bash heads.
Speaker 8 (26:04):
I'd like to see it make a comeback though.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
It would be cool. Yeah, why don't we get a
coaching job and then we can work together and we'll
bring that back. No dominate college football done? Can we
get the job at Hawaii? Is that job open? Because
that would be a cool place to hang out.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
You know, it would be good away from the football field,
but on the football field not so great.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
No, they don't even have a stadium there, right. They
got rid of a Lohak, got a.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
Little Yeah, they got a little on campus thing they're doing.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Now they're building a new one.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
I think it might be finished.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Oh okay, very exciting. It is the Ban Malor Show.

people like yourself. Listen to the show. I had a
great time in Minnesota. People were very kind. I want
to think Regina in Minnesota, the hostess with the mostess
and all the fine folks that showed up from all
over that area, Wisconsin, Minnesota, with people from Iowa, Illinois, Michigan,
(27:19):
all over the place that showed up to that Mallard
Meet Greet. It was awesome. I had a great time
in Minneapolis, and we wanted to do something in our
home base in Los Angeles, and we tossed it out
on the air and I got a phone call, or
actually it was an email. It was an email from
this cat. He's like, you know, I would like the host.
I would like to host the event. And so I said, okay,
(27:43):
let's make that happen. Then we had some back and forth.
I was kind of waiting for Eddie to give me
the okay on that, and he finally gave me the okay.
And now he's still not sure if he's going to
be there. But the Malord Meet and Greet. For more
on this, let's go to the host of the Malor
Meet and Greet, die hard Buffalo bill apologist Andy the
(28:04):
Comic book Guy. Hello, Andy Man. Yes, Andy, this is
the big announcement here. Andy, we are going to get together.
You run the top comic book shop in southern California.
Is that correct, Andy?
Speaker 10 (28:18):
That is correct. That is a fact of the day,
absolutely a fun fact of the day.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
And it's not just comic books, right, You're more than
just a comic book shop. You got a little bit
of this, a little bit of that, right, you know
you got other things in there, yes, of course.
Speaker 10 (28:30):
Yeah, we've got sports cards and got you know yeah all.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Right, yeah sure, sure, yeah you got all that crap.
Speaker 10 (28:38):
All right.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
So anyway, it's cool and I've not been to a
comic book shop in a long time, so I said, well,
this is great. We should get together hang out of
the comic book shop. So we have scheduled the date
on this. We would love for you to attend if
you're geographically desirable to attend, and it would be great.
It is going to take place on August nineteenth, So
August nineteenth is the date. It'll be in the day.
(29:02):
That's a Saturday. Yeah, so it's it's a day off.
We're not obviously doing the show that day, but we're
on a day off. That's how much we care about you.
And let's it's not know we're gonna hang out with
you from two pm to four pm obviously l a
West Coast time. And uh, there's a special surprise performance
that you were not allowed to talk about, is that right, Andy?
(29:24):
We can't talk about that.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
That is correct.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
There is a special surprise performance. We can't talk about
right now, awaiting final confirmation. Just one more, one more
go for it, launch the rocket. But we're close, all right?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Do we want people to rs VP for this or
just see who shows up? Either way is fine, I'm
finding either all right?
Speaker 10 (29:47):
Just show up, okay if you're coming from the Melon Militia,
because that that day is also our six year anniversary
party that we're grouping in with a Mellor meet and
greet the most American radio show in all of sports talk.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I wrapped myself. I wrapped myself in the flag. So
six years, that's good, good run. Six years. You survived
the pandemic and stayed in business, so that's impressive. And
we'll be hanging out. And I would also like to add,
since Eddie complained Andy that there would be no food,
I am planning, barring some kind of last minute snaffoo,
(30:29):
I am planning to bring homemade cookies. I will bring you. Yeah,
I'm not even able to eat them because I'm I'm paranoid.
If I eat them, I'll you know, I'll be fasting.
But I will bring them and so you'll be able
to eat my cookies. You will have my cookies. That
sounds dirty, doesn't all it sounds that sounds bad. Okay,
(30:51):
that's not I don't need that, okay any anyway, And
so the name of your your comic book shop, what
is the name is this Brave New World Comics? Is
that correct?
Speaker 10 (31:02):
That is correct? In Santa Clarita, California, we're about a
thirty minute drive north of Pasadena. It's okay, the northern
most city in La County.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, and there's mony. There's a big amusement park not
far from you, right there is It.
Speaker 10 (31:18):
Has six figs.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Correct.
Speaker 10 (31:20):
So I'm going to try really really really really really
hard to find Eddie's jersey by then.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It is well that that'll get Eddie. See. See, Eddie
is a game time decision with these things, because sometimes
he'll cancel the last minute. But if he knows he's
getting a jersey, he'll show up. Okay, he will show
up to that for sure. Now we don't know about
Coople Loop. Coople Loop very rarely does these things. So
Coople Loop, what do you think, Coop? That's not too
bad geographic wise for you?
Speaker 8 (31:48):
You mean I very rarely do these things.
Speaker 10 (31:51):
Well, but hey, I heard I heard you love you
love salad. So I'll make sure I have your favorite dressing,
all right, don't worry.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Oh boy, oh well, that got Coop's attention.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
I see I see near near your establishment, there's there's
someplace called egg Plantation.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Is that a nice brunch place?
Speaker 8 (32:11):
Should I go have brunch there first?
Speaker 10 (32:13):
It is an excellent egg plantation egg Plantation destination for brunch.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Correct.
Speaker 10 (32:18):
It is one of the oldest diners in La County.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
Actually wow, okay, the.
Speaker 10 (32:23):
First ever diner in La County is also there. Not
as good, but it is old, so people people.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Some people like old, old stuff.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
Yeah, I got all right, I'll drive for food.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Well, Andy, thank you, thank you for allowing us to
invade your store. I appreciate it. We will promote it.
I'll maybe I'll have you on your podcast. Oh it

Speaker 10 (32:48):
If they're coming for the from the Malord Militia, because
it's also our anniversary party. So this is for the
Malord Militia. If they tell me go builds, they just
say it. In any way, shape or form, They're going

other places, it'd be great to see you. And it'll
(33:35):
be a couple of hours in if you go, you know,
maybe we'll say later. I don't know. We were scheduled for
two hours, but we could end up stay longer than that.
And so it's you know, it's a fair clip from
the north Woods where I come from. But I'm looking
forward to doing it. So thank you, Andy.
Speaker 10 (33:47):
All right, brave and coming, and you know, things get confirmed,
we'll be sure we announce those.
Speaker 1 (33:52):

and Greets. Canna be at his comic shop, Brave New
World Comics, August nineteenth in the afternoon there for a
couple hours and surprise that he has not announced and
like given free stuff away if you say go bills.
It's like a speakeasy situation there, So thank him for that.
(34:14):
I appreciate that it's gonna be a lot of fun
and Eddie will be there. I think Coop sounds like
he's gonna be there, so you can hang out and
say hello to those guys. Straight ahead, we're gonna have
the MLB pick him. Here's the who am I?
Speaker 8 (34:25):
Game?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Here we go. After a shake one inning relief performance
in which I gave up the go ahead run, my
Major League Baseball record setting losing streak came to an
abrupt end. Again we're looking for the name of this person.
Who am I? At a shaky one inning relief appearance
(34:46):
on this date, by the way, many years back, and
I gave up the go ahead run. But my record
setting losing streak came to an abrupt end because my
team scored twice in the ninth inning. The game me
the victory, ending the record losing streak in baseball history
for a pitcher. Who am I? That is the question.
(35:07):
The answer will get to it, and we'll have the
MLB pick and we will do it next.

And time now for the who Ami Game, a blatant
attempt to get you to listen a few minutes longer.
Thus we call it the who Amigame. And here is
today's question. See if you get this right. After a
shake one inning relief performance, I gave up a go
ahead run in the ninth inning. My team scored twice
(36:09):
in the bottom of the ninth inning to give me
the win, ending a record losing streak, the most longest
losing streak in baseball history by a single pitcher. That
is the question. What is the answer? Big Lou from
the LBC says intermittent Fasting champ Manute Bowl Jerry Grote
(36:31):
guess by mister nice guy. As he continues to go
through random baseball players. Cowboy Killer says it has to
be the Dark Knight, that's his answer. Who else do
we have? Denzel Washington from the Raider Freak Rod, the
Ambassador of Bakersfield, got it right. Bad job by him,
Rowdy Roddy Piper, or as he says, Pepper from Tortilla Mantoni.
(36:51):
I know, I see what you did there, all right?
Courtney Kardashian randomly tossed out by the Dixter parody account.
Johnny Slash from courtesy Flusher ferg Dog checks in with
Derwin James as his answer, PAULI d got it right.
Fields of Green. Going with the man that blew the
World Series for the Cleveland Indians, Jose Mesa. I saw
(37:14):
him blow that World Series years ago against the Marlins.
Who else do we have? Page down the Garcia Burner
account says Hall of Famer Ricky Waters is the answer.
A tribute to our friend Butcher on the Autobahn there
in Germany. Robin Minnesota says aj Prazinski is the answer.
Kathy in Madison going with Elon MUCKs as the selection.
(37:35):
Scott in Rhode Island says Ronald McDonald is the way
to go. Alf the Alien Opiner says the original joker.
But that is a scary looking photo. Man, what is
he in prison? Yeah, he's in prison playing baseball. Wow,
that's interesting. Che K Hernandez I liked him in that
spot from Calligan, Tim in Michigan, The Big Tub of Goo.
(37:57):
Terry Forrester from Eke and Roseviio Minnesota. Clarence Chu Chu
Coleman from the Maverick. Fernando Valenzuela from Jeremy in Minnesota.
Most important Dodger of all time Fernando Valenzuela, Eddie. Do
you have an answer, Eddie?
Speaker 8 (38:12):
Oh yes, it's another Dodger. It's the great Gavin Lux.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Gavin Lux. Is that correct? No, that is not correct?
The correct answer. In Immortal New York, met May he
rest in peace. Died several years ago. Anthony Young he
lost twenty seven consecutive decisions, a all time baseball record.
Eighty one appearances over two seasons. He had fourteen losses
as a starter, thirteen as a reliever. And then he
(38:40):
didn't have a long career in baseball. Has He worked
at a chemical plant after he left the Mets in baseball,
And he worked at a chemical plant for eight years
and then got a brain tumor and died. So sad story.
But he had an interesting run. Right here we go,
let's get to it. We have time, we can do
it quickly. It's the MLB, Pickham and the order. Here
is the order, Coop, did you send me the Eddie?
(39:01):
Go ahead, Eddie quickly.
Speaker 8 (39:03):
Shane McClanahan, all right, Cooper Loop. I hope he gets
lit up.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Garrett Cole, all right, I'll take Dane Dunning Mark back
to back quickly, Grade Night, all right, one more. Lenny Dykstra,
