Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number one, the Ben Malor
Radio Show, recorded overnight in the podcast format for you,
and only for you, because you're the only one listening.
God bless you. So here in our number one Chris
Jones keeping up with the Joneses. He plans to miss
the first eight weeks of the Kansas City season. Thumbs
(00:24):
up or thumbs down? Is this a big deal? And
what are the gambling odds? Tell us about the Colts
Jonathan Taylor and the trade market for the running back
from Indianapolis? And is it time for Bucks fans to
start stressing out with Baker Mayfield under center, we'll talk
about that as well. Right now here it is our
(00:47):
number one, keeping up with the Joneses. Welcome in the
beginning of another edition of the Ben Maler Show. So
we are in the end everywhere in partnership. As we know,
(01:07):
there is trouble brewing somewhere someplace. We just have to
find it. Coast to coast, border the border and beyond
on the beast and super eminently powerful microphones of fsre
emmating live from the yard the Graveyard Shift, the coveted
(01:30):
Graveyard Shift, waiting for bells to be rung as we
are broadcasting live from the tyrak dot com studios. Tyrac

fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installars tyract dot com the way tire buying
(01:53):
should be. Hope aul is going okay for you. We
are back at it again. Here a brand new night,
a blank canvas, and we will paint baloney all over
the blank canvas. We're gonna throw the bologney against the
canvas and see see what sticks. Now our lead this
hour coming from the Heartland. The reigning soup for Bowl
(02:16):
champions And I learned this when I was a kid
watching professional wrestling. But to be the champ, you gotta
beat the champ. So someone's gonna have to beat Kansas
City in a playoff situation down the line. But the
Chiefs course have to get there. Seems impossible for them
not to get to the postseason with the Raiders and
Broncos two of the teams in the division the AFC West.
(02:39):
But is there a headache awaiting? Kansas City? Has the
headache already arrived, the leader, the Mahomes of the defense.
There's nowhere to be seen. Now, we've talked about this
a few times over last month or so, and it's back. Yes,
the Chiefs defensive stalwart keeping up with the Joneses. Chris
(03:02):
Jones does it all for the Kansas City defense, and
he also continues to hold out. At this point, he
is not reported to duty. He does have a contract.
He says, I don't like that contract. I'd like a
new contract. So what I By the way, but I'm
not holding out. I'm here and I think most people
would like new contracts, but they show up to work.
(03:23):
But this guy, Chris Jones, is making it very clear
that he is prepared to not only continue his holdout
into the regular season, but his sabbatical will go deep,
deep into the twenty twenty three regular season. If you
believe the ratcheting up of tensions for Chris Jones. Now,
(03:44):
if you didn't see this, and I'm going to assume
that you're not following defensive players from the Kansas City
Chiefs because most of the audience not Chiefs fans. But
if you didn't miss it, and you probably did, Chris
Jones responding to a troll a fame, I don't know,
you make your mind him. Responding to someone or a
(04:07):
bot who asked when he plans on showing up to
his job with the Kansas City football team, Chris Jones
revealed that he is willing to hold out until wait
for week one? No, week two? No, no, no, week two?
How about three? Do I hear? Week three?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Is?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Week three? How about four? Week four? No? How about
double that? Week number eight? Week number eight? He says
he plans on holding on till at least week eight
of the twenty twenty three championship campaign. Now, Jones is
entering the final year of his contract, and he wants
(04:50):
to get paid the riches of Solomon and anyone else
that's got a lot of money. The go down the
list of the rich people he wants. He wants Jeff
Bezos money, he wants he On Musk, Buddy Zuckerberg. He
wants that kind of money by NFL standards, of course.
And we are hearing now through the grapevine that Chris
Jones wants to be the second, at worst the second
(05:13):
highest paid player at his position. Aka the Donald as
in Aaron Donald. You can ram it all day, you
can ram it all night. The Rams were so giddy
when they won the Super Bowl. They were like Oprah
Winfrey handing out cars with contracts. You get a contract,
you get a new contract, you get a new everyone
gets a new contract. Mega mega, mega millions. All right, now,
(05:37):
let us discuss the question. Talk about Kansas City football
and the defensive side, the Chris Jones plan that he
will miss eight weeks of the regular season for Kansas City.
Thumbs up or thumbs down to this being a big
(05:57):
deal for the Chiefs, that Chris Jones planning on missing
eight weeks of the regular season. So I'm gonna go
thumbs down on this one. The reason I'm going thumbs down,
I've got Aristotle, misery index, and suspended animation, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a nice legal massage. Not the kind
(06:20):
of massage that Sean Watson got, but the legal massage.
So a Chris Jones is based on his commentary, unwavering
is the word I will use. He's unwavering with his demands,
which you kind of have to be right. There's a
little bit of performance art involved in this. You got
(06:40):
to be a douchebag, you gotta be an a hole.
You got the world know that you mean business, Otherwise
people will just ignore you. So he's digging into the
bunker publicly Jones, and he's already racked up. This is
the part that blows me away. I would I would
need anxiety medication if you told me that I was
(07:01):
getting fined fifty thousand dollars a day and I had
to pay the money. He's been fined over one million
dollars because the courd to the CBA, you can be
fined fifty thousand dollars per day that you don't show
up to work and you're under contract. So he's already
out over a million dollars in fines which he has
to pay. Now that being said, is it true that
(07:24):
Chris Jones made a tactical error? Yes, yes, Chris Jones
did make a tactical error. I I'm nodding my head.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
And what it was that tactical error? Let me tell
you why he made the error. The error was revealing
your hand. It's like playing a game of poker. He
gave the end date, and by giving the end date,
he then cheapened the holdout. So that makes me so
(07:56):
if you're Andy Reid and the big brass there with
the Chiefs. You're in pretty good shape right now. You
feel like you've won. Now you haven't won, because he
always changed his mind. Go longer than that. But Chris
Jones said he had budgeted. He has enough money he
can afford to miss eight weeks of the regular season.
So keep in mind that if you're Andy reading the Chiefs,
(08:17):
you just twiddle your thumbs and let this kamikaze mission
financially play out. Chris Jones is willing to give up
game checks for each game for the first eight weeks
of the regular season. Each game check one million dollars
over one million dollars per game that he gets paid,
and he's willing to give that up. If you believe him,
(08:38):
you take him at face value. So based on the
base salary of nineteen and a half million dollars for
Chris Jones, using malor math, he is willing to give
back eight point six six six million dollars in salary.
So that's a whole lot of cheddar. You're willing to
(09:00):
push back, but that's what he says. He says he's
budgeted for that, and Kansas City's gonna be fine because
as long as Chris Jones is there midway through the season,
he'll actually end up being fresher down the stretch, assuming
he doesn't break a leg and is actually out there
on the field. But even if he goes a wall
(09:20):
for the Chiefs defense. Here is the Greek philosopher, philosopher
back of the day, Aristotle. He said the whole is
greater than the sum of its parts. And so he
is replaceable. And he's been balling. He's been great Chris Jones,
but he's replaceable. Kansas City just have to be a
little bit better on offense. Everyone and everything is just temporary.
(09:43):
To quote Jim Irsay, But Chris Jones will be back,
based on his own reporting, by week nine. That's November fifth,
the Chiefs they have one of those international games. They
play the Miami Dolphins cross the ocean. If I have
that correct now page two here, let's go to Indianapolis.
(10:04):
After the Colts granted their running back Jonathan Taylor a
opportunity to go out and roam around and find a
new contract out in the boondocks of the NFL. They
gave him permission to seek a trade. The market is
taking shape. Now. I get a kick out of this
because you've got the Colt side that is leaking, nobody
(10:26):
wants this guy, We're not getting any real offers. Then
you've got the agent for Jonathan Taylor, who is leaking
all kinds of amazing offers better than expected. You can
tell who's writing the story where they got the source from.
It's either from the Taylor camp or the Colts camp.
The culture saying nobody really wants this guy. They're not
offering what we want. And then the Taylor's side, it's like,
(10:48):
oh yeah, man, this guy. There's so many teams horny
for this guy. They want to get a hold of them.
And so you can tell how that's going now. If
you look at the reporting state funded NFL networking, the
Colts are receiving interest. The phone has been ringing. What
happened to the text? There's other reports indicating that it's
not the case. So we really take what you want now.
(11:09):
Regardless of that, the gambling folks over DraftKings, a partner
of Fox Sports Radio. They have the Miami Dolphins at
plus two fifty. They're the favorite to get Taylor, followed
by the Chicago Bears and the Baltimore Ravens. Bears are
plus four hundred, Ravens are plus seven hundred, and then
(11:30):
after that on DraftKings, the Broncos and the Cowboys are
plus seven fifty for Jonathan Taylor. So what do the
gambling odds regarding Jonathan Taylor colts trade tell us? What
do the gambling gods tell us? So the gambling market
the trade market based on looking how the gambling market works.
(11:53):
It's like the misery index. It doesn't guarantee that you're
gonna tell you what's gonna happen, but people on Wall
Street say, well that that's a big indicator, the misery index.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
So it's kind of like that where you're looking around,
you're like, OK, that's pretty good indicator. There's really no
surprise on the board. The Dolphins. Everyone's like, ah, Dolphins, Dolphins, Dolphins, Dolphins.
That's been there. The Bears and the Ravens are the
top three, and they all make varying degrees of sense.
(12:24):
Miami needs. They don't necessarily need it, but they'd be
better off with a name brand running back and the
guy that they can count on, although can you really
count on Taylor? He missed a bunch of games last year,
And then you look at Baltimore. They're trying to go
all in and keep up with Kansas City, Cincinnati and Buffalo,
and they need more weapons for Lamar Jackson. And then Chicago.
(12:48):
They're trying to make a splash. They have convinced themselves
that Justin fields to the moon in Chicago, and they
believe he's going to be amazing. I'll believe it when
I see it. I'm a skeptic how he does to
begin the year against the Packers. But the Bears are excited.
They're all little giddy there. People are fired up for
the Bears. And so we'll see how this plays out.
Now the last word here, So let's go now to
(13:11):
Tom Brady's replacement, who has been named. The news coming
out early in the day yesterday that Baker Mayfield has
won the job. He will start for a different NFL
team for the third consecutive year. Call that the Carson
Wentz So third consecutive year. He wins the Bucks number
(13:31):
one job, beating out Kyle Trask or as some call him,
Kyle Trash, but Baker Mayfield will be the starting quarterback
in Tampa. Todd Bowles made things kosher on Tuesday. Is
it time for the Buccaneer fans to start stressing out
about the idea of watching Baker Mayfield start at quarterback
(13:53):
for their favorite NFL team under center. So I'm gonna
go no, it is not time now to start stressing out.
You gotta have a grace period. I call it suspended animation,
where you kind of pause everything and you get one game.
You get one game. That's it in the NFL. One game,
because one game's worth ten games in like baseball. One
(14:14):
game in the NFL's worth ten games in baseball. So
you get one game in football, which is ten games
in baseball. And we'll see what he does against the
Minnesota Vikings, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Baker may for one game, and Todd Bowles had no
easy off ramp. Lava is the floor there anywhere you go,
(14:35):
there's lava. If you're Todd Bowles. Now, Baker is the
lesser of two evils. No one will question the Buccaneers
because he's the big name. He was the number one
overall pick. He used to do a lot of commercials
on television, so people know who he is. But it's
like picking how you want to be killed. Would you
take the butcher knife or a live hand grenade. Which
one are you gonna go with? Baker Mayfield is the
(14:58):
epitome of big name little game. If you look at
the last twenty six games Mayfield has played over the
last couple of years, he has only six more touchdowns
than interceptions. His yards per attempt is below average, his
completion percentage just over sixty percent. That blows, and it's
passer rating eighty one. Also, el stinko for Baker Mayfield.
(15:23):
So let me rephrase this. Kyle Trask, even though he stinks,
also will at some point be playing quarterback for the Buccaneers.
They'll be rotating it in and likely someone not even
on the roster will end up playing for Tampa Bay.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
We began the night with a story out of Kansas City.
Chris Jones, unhappy, says we'll miss the first eight games.
He's willing to sit out unless the Chiefs pay him.
You either pay me or I will sit out. How
dare you sure they're biting their fingernails right now losing
(17:07):
their mind in Kansas City? Unless they're not crying. Craig
checks in from Seattle. He says, the Mariners keep on winning,
and therefore I keep crying my eyes out. An ALCS
team or even better, and I'll cry Winnang good vibrations.
The Seattle Mariners the first team with multiple eight or
(17:33):
more game winning streaks within a calendar month since the
Dodgers wang twenty seventeen. The Dodgers won the World Series
that year. They were the team that didn't cheat. The
a holes cheated in the twenty seventeen World Series. The
Mariners also the first team to do that within August
(17:56):
or later since the Orioles of nineteen eighty. There's a
stat for everything in baseball, and what does it mean?
Not much? Shane from Des Moines. Wrights In says, who
is the number one spot on the Big Ben Big
Board of technical producers. Well, I'm glad that you're concerned
(18:16):
about the hiring process here at Fox Sports Radio. Shane
in Des Moines, I have no idea. Every night I
come in here, there's someone else I don't know, three nights.
It's like Baker Mayfield starts for someway. I came in
a Sunday. We had we had Mark he's the White
Sox fan. And then we had the Toledo guy Chris
(18:40):
here last night, and now it's the Iowa guy, Iowa Sam.
And tomorrow I think we're gonna get somebody from Sheboygan,
someone froman. Should we do a new game where we
can see what listener can guess first which tech producer
is on the shift that night?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Well, I also think we need to launch an investigation,
a Mallord show.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Of investigation, Eddie. What do we need to investigate?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Well, I think there might have been some false statements
made by Iowa Sam which led to us awarding him
an air fry that's right, yeah, and he has not
taken over for Roberto full time as we were promised,
So I think the air frar may need to be returned.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
That's a good point here, thrown the river gone no
no Sam.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Well, if that's the case, then there may need to be,
you know, repercussions for that.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Those are ill begotten gains, Iowa Sam, just like we
don't count the a Holes winning the World Series in
twenty seventeen because they cheated you. You said something, Iowa Sam,
we believed you, and here we are. How many it
has been at least a month since that statement, at
least control.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And well, the statement that you made was in your control,
and that caused us to award you in celebration a
year with an air frer.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
You are not privy to certain information.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Well, I you made I'm on team Eddie team statements
or my statements are legit? Are there any other shows
that have the rotating the merry go round to board
ops that we have other than our We're the only
one seven day week network though, to fill the holes.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
We only care about our holes.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I don't really care about the other holes. Iowa Sam,
I know, see Iowa Sam cares about the other other situations.
We care about what we do. We're only in charge
of the overnight. We're not in charge. I'd love to
be in charge of dating a daytime shift, because that's
the real estate is more valuable. I would say they
paid more money for that daytime real estate than the
nighttime real estate. But I don't make schedule.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Trust me, if I did, there'd be uh, there would
be some changes.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, you would not be working this shift if you
made your own schedule. You do not like this shift,
You've complained about you you do not like doing the
over You do not like the overnight. I've heard people
in the building tell me things.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
You don't know if that's that's false.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
No, that is not fault. People tell me you like
working overnight.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I like working on these shows?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
You like working overnight? I like working on these show
That's what he did. Is a non answer answer. That's
a weasel answer right there. It's a direct question, sir.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Answer is not worthy of your honor.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
We have a hostile answer. We have a hostile witness
here again, I'll ask you, do you like working the
overnight hours?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I like working on these shows.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That's see, that's a non answer. That's you like working
on these shows.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Next question.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Okay, so I would saying hostile and.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I like working on these shows, and I I like
working the overnight.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Well you why didn't you say that? I asked you
a direct question, do you like.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Because it needs to be answered in a certain well, no.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It does not need to be answered in a certain
way at all. It can be answered directly. It's a
yes no question, yeah, yes or no? Do you like
working the overnight hours?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I like working on the.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yes or no? Yes or no? That's as good as
a yeah. That's a that's a no.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I don't know we're yelling about.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I think the air fry needs to be returned.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Eddie's right past.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
You wants to until time should be awarded again.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I'm willing to trade you. I think we need to
give back the air for and give us a toaster. Yeah,
brand new toaster, and I'm willing to give you an
exchange a stratomatic game I will give you. Did you
guys open that box yet? What's in the box? It's
great marked the full name. Guy. I didn't ask for this.
(22:19):
I didn't. I didn't say I need this. My life
is incomplete because I don't have stratamatic baseball. And Eddie,
do you remember strata maatic baseball? I mean so yeah,
that's like ninth late eighties. Maybe thing was so detailed. Yeah,
it seems like it was earlier. It was like so
many little cards and little like you noticed.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Sam is really interested in changing the subject.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
And I know I'll just say I don't make the schedule.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Then why did you tell us you were going to
be taking over rever?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Great question, Eddie, great question.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
I was saying, because that might happen.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
That happened, goes Louisel.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Then he wanted that Airfrier is so bad. He misled us,
and in celebration we awarded him the air Friar and
now he has it right. There has to be something Amazon,
there has to be something done about this. Justice, no peace.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I'm going to reach out, Okay, I'm going to reach
out to the man that sent the air Friar and
the fried Daddy gone in Pennsylvania and Friday that's his
air Frar. That's Fridaddy's got eighteen dollars for it.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
He sent it here. It cost him seven hundred and
seventy dollars shipping to send it out here. Yes, the
cost of shipping.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
And don't forget we even had a a our game
show winner, Our Our Our Mallord Talent show. Young hit
to Sam because she thought he was going to be
a part of the Ben Mallor Show. Now he's just
he's kind of a guy. Sometimes she likes my work.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
You're just in a rotation. Marks. I'm here the majority
of the time. Mark's been here more than you. Over
the last few months, I think we've worked with Mark.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I've been here three nights a week most times.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I don't know yeah. I said, hey, hey, ho ho,

Speaker 1 (25:19):

(26:01):
A follow up to a story we talked about in
a previous episode of the show. And if you have
some kind of weird habit and you happen to make
the pros, you can monetize that Will Levis. Remember this cat,
Will Levis. He's with the Tennessee Titans. Now he fell
in the NFL Draft. But before the NFL Draft, we
(26:22):
learned that Will Levis has a bizarre habit. He likes
to have his coffee with Mayo. He likes to squeeze
some nice mayonnaise into his coffee. There. We found this
out at SEC media day or media days, and some
(26:42):
people use a creamer and he decides, you know, I
don't need a creamer in my coffee. I'll just use
the mayonnaise. And so the people over at Helman's said, boy,
that's our guy. And so the Titans quarterback Will Levis,
who's not even played a regular season game in the
NFL yet, but he is still He's still, scored a
(27:03):
lifetime endorsement deal with Hellman's Mayonnaise, so he does not
have to worry about going to the store to buy
mayonnaise for the rest of his life. Now, what does
that mean a lifetime supply? What if he's a Mayo
pack a day guy or a bottle of Mayo a
week guy. Would they send him out a bottle of
(27:23):
mayonnaise for every week? Or I would say no, probably.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Not, maybe like a couple of months, something like that
little box every month, something like that.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I knew so many years ago that had a McDonald's
Golden Archers card. I think it was called you know,
they give those out to people that are famous that
don't that can't afford to buy them.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I don't know if they still do, but they did
years ago, and you get a card.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It's like a gold famous person.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
You knew it's not important, but but but he had
the card. Who was You can get free food, eddie,
but you were limited, like you couldn't just go in
there and order everything on the menu, right, you could
get like a me. How come we don't get those?
We're very important people. We do the overnight shows. Hook
us up with some kind of lifetime supply of something.
(28:08):
I think so I'd even take mayo. There are some
people that are anti mayo. I'm neutral on mayo. I'm
like Switzerland. I don't love mayo, I don't hate mayo.
I'll take some mayo. I ain't drinking my coffee with mayo.
But there's some people.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
You're not drinking your coffee with anything not undrink coffee.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
But there's some people that are total anti mayo.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Peaah. It's kind of a it's kind of a gross concoction,
but you need it though on a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
It's one of those things in life that you can't
have it too drive. You don't need, no, you don't
want it to drive. You don't need to know how
everything's made.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Although I remember my mom, God rest her soul, when
she would make a sandwich. She'd put the mayo on
and then she would like lick the excess mayo like
off the spoon, and I would like gag when she
would do.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
That extreme extreme love of mayo for Mama Garzina. My
mom always shed tuta fish and mayo. That was my
my lunch a couple of days a week. Oh you
were lucky, kid, No, I was not. I was not, no,
no no, because staple, the ice pack had not fully
developed at the time I was a child. That he
So I don't like I know, yeah exactly. So I'd
(29:13):
be eating a warm, uh you know, lukewarm tuna fish sandwich,
which started out perfect right when it was made. When
my mom made it, you know, she made it perfect.
It was great right temperature a looked cool on the cool side,
and that's why I have not eaten a tuna fish
sandwich since I got out of elementary school. Hold on,
what did you say was not fully developed? The the
(29:33):
ice the cooling down of foods, the ice pack is it?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
See? I see they have great ice packs. Now food
is wonderful. But all I had was like a metal superman,
you know, lunch box, and I had a tuna fish
sandwich and a bag of chips.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Who knows what temperature your food was getting to during
the day.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I should be dead.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Bacteria levels, Yeah, it's bacteria.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
What doesn't kill you makes a strong That's right.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
You brought that stuff into school.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
And so congratulations to Will Levis, the brand ambassador for mayonnaise.
Do you really think that somebody's gonna go to the
store and say, I wasn't gonna buy Helman's mayonnaise, but
I saw Will Levice, So now I'm gonna buy that
brand of mayonnaise. Does that actually work? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
If he was an Iowa Hawkeye, I'm sure Sam would
have bought it.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
He's warning the Hawkeyes.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Had I buy a best brand or something. It's much
better than Helman's. Helen's is fine, fine, Wow, slamming helmets. No,
Helmans is fine.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
They all taste the same.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I mean, you know Nole's Miracle Whip, the Miracle Lip's
good too.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Trash. Oh yeah, look at going after a long opinion
on mayonnaise and and Best Foods or or Helman's. That's
that's the only way to that's the only way to
go with ma.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Best Foods is good. Best foods brand. What about just
doing store brand? Yeah, it's fine. It's just egg and
other stuff. Yeah, whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
You can make your own, your own at home, right, say, probably.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Kind of like vodka isn't vodka same?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
The package is just different distilled alcohol. You can make
vodka out of grapes. You can make vodka to potatoes.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Potatoes is what it's known for.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Yeah, but you can actually you can buy vodka made
out of grapes. You can find it at Trader Joe's.
How about that, it's a rock that. Yeah, the vodka's
just booze. It's just pure alcohol.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Okay, vodka is just booze.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
That's a hot out. It's like it's just nobody just distilled.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
It's like rubbing alcohol it's just it's nothing, you know,
mixes well with other things.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Any other takes you'd like to share with the We
got three more out.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
The Mayo story from Levis was all a lie, you know.
He just said that that was just a joke. By
the way he said. He cleared that up on April
and April he said, I was just screwing with people.
I don't actually do.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
That, and you believe him.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
It says it right here. Uh No, that's just a
stupid thing I did that I thought was funny. I
don't actually do it. So just to dispel that.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I'm sure he got a lot of pushback and he
didn't want to be hedn't want to be a male.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
But he also like was caught eating a banana with
the peel on it, and he doesn't really do that either.
He's just a joker.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
And I've never had speaking of banana, I've never had
the banana Mao sandwich, but that's very popular in the
South Sound.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
My mom used to eat from Alabama banana peanut butter and.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Dale Earnhard Junior. Was he the one that used to
eat the bit that was he He was known for
that that.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Was possible Sandwich anyway, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1 (32:21):

Hello and welcome. It's our number one, the Ben Malor
Radio Show, recorded overnight in the podcast format for you,
and only for you, because you're the only one listening.
God bless you. So here in our number one Chris
Jones keeping up with the Joneses. He plans to miss
the first eight weeks of the Kansas City season. Thumbs
(00:24):
up or thumbs down? Is this a big deal? And
what are the gambling odds? Tell us about the Colts
Jonathan Taylor and the trade market for the running back
from Indianapolis? And is it time for Bucks fans to
start stressing out with Baker Mayfield under center, we'll talk
about that as well. Right now here it is our
(00:47):
number one, keeping up with the Joneses. Welcome in the
beginning of another edition of the Ben Maler Show. So
we are in the end everywhere in partnership. As we know,
(01:07):
there is trouble brewing somewhere someplace. We just have to
find it. Coast to coast, border the border and beyond
on the beast and super eminently powerful microphones of fsre
emmating live from the yard the Graveyard Shift, the coveted

(01:53):

are back at it again. Here a brand new night,
a blank canvas, and we will paint baloney all over
the blank canvas. We're gonna throw the bologney against the
canvas and see see what sticks. Now our lead this
hour coming from the Heartland. The reigning soup for Bowl
(02:16):
champions And I learned this when I was a kid
watching professional wrestling. But to be the champ, you gotta
beat the champ. So someone's gonna have to beat Kansas
City in a playoff situation down the line. But the
Chiefs course have to get there. Seems impossible for them
not to get to the postseason with the Raiders and
Broncos two of the teams in the division the AFC West.
(02:39):
But is there a headache awaiting? Kansas City? Has the
headache already arrived, the leader, the Mahomes of the defense.
There's nowhere to be seen. Now, we've talked about this
a few times over last month or so, and it's back. Yes,
the Chiefs defensive stalwart keeping up with the Joneses. Chris
(03:02):
Jones does it all for the Kansas City defense, and
he also continues to hold out. At this point, he
is not reported to duty. He does have a contract.
He says, I don't like that contract. I'd like a
new contract. So what I By the way, but I'm
not holding out. I'm here and I think most people
would like new contracts, but they show up to work.
(03:23):
But this guy, Chris Jones, is making it very clear
that he is prepared to not only continue his holdout
into the regular season, but his sabbatical will go deep,
deep into the twenty twenty three regular season. If you
believe the ratcheting up of tensions for Chris Jones. Now,
(03:44):
if you didn't see this, and I'm going to assume
that you're not following defensive players from the Kansas City
Chiefs because most of the audience not Chiefs fans. But
if you didn't miss it, and you probably did, Chris
Jones responding to a troll a fame, I don't know,
you make your mind him. Responding to someone or a
(04:07):
bot who asked when he plans on showing up to
his job with the Kansas City football team, Chris Jones
revealed that he is willing to hold out until wait
for week one? No, week two? No, no, no, week two?
How about three? Do I hear? Week three?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Is?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Week three? How about four? Week four? No? How about
double that? Week number eight? Week number eight? He says
he plans on holding on till at least week eight
of the twenty twenty three championship campaign. Now, Jones is
entering the final year of his contract, and he wants
(04:50):
to get paid the riches of Solomon and anyone else
that's got a lot of money. The go down the
list of the rich people he wants. He wants Jeff
Bezos money, he wants he On Musk, Buddy Zuckerberg. He
wants that kind of money by NFL standards, of course.
And we are hearing now through the grapevine that Chris
Jones wants to be the second, at worst the second
(05:13):
highest paid player at his position. Aka the Donald as
in Aaron Donald. You can ram it all day, you
can ram it all night. The Rams were so giddy
when they won the Super Bowl. They were like Oprah
Winfrey handing out cars with contracts. You get a contract,
you get a new contract, you get a new everyone
gets a new contract. Mega mega, mega millions. All right, now,
(05:37):
let us discuss the question. Talk about Kansas City football
and the defensive side, the Chris Jones plan that he
will miss eight weeks of the regular season for Kansas City.
Thumbs up or thumbs down to this being a big
(05:57):
deal for the Chiefs, that Chris Jones planning on missing
eight weeks of the regular season. So I'm gonna go
thumbs down on this one. The reason I'm going thumbs down,
I've got Aristotle, misery index, and suspended animation, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a nice legal massage. Not the kind
(06:20):
of massage that Sean Watson got, but the legal massage.
So a Chris Jones is based on his commentary, unwavering
is the word I will use. He's unwavering with his demands,
which you kind of have to be right. There's a
little bit of performance art involved in this. You got
(06:40):
to be a douchebag, you gotta be an a hole.
You got the world know that you mean business, Otherwise
people will just ignore you. So he's digging into the
bunker publicly Jones, and he's already racked up. This is
the part that blows me away. I would I would
need anxiety medication if you told me that I was
(07:01):
getting fined fifty thousand dollars a day and I had
to pay the money. He's been fined over one million
dollars because the courd to the CBA, you can be
fined fifty thousand dollars per day that you don't show
up to work and you're under contract. So he's already
out over a million dollars in fines which he has
to pay. Now that being said, is it true that
(07:24):
Chris Jones made a tactical error? Yes, yes, Chris Jones
did make a tactical error. I I'm nodding my head.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
And what it was that tactical error? Let me tell
you why he made the error. The error was revealing
your hand. It's like playing a game of poker. He
gave the end date, and by giving the end date,
he then cheapened the holdout. So that makes me so
(07:56):
if you're Andy Reid and the big brass there with
the Chiefs. You're in pretty good shape right now. You
feel like you've won. Now you haven't won, because he
always changed his mind. Go longer than that. But Chris
Jones said he had budgeted. He has enough money he
can afford to miss eight weeks of the regular season.
So keep in mind that if you're Andy reading the Chiefs,
(08:17):
you just twiddle your thumbs and let this kamikaze mission
financially play out. Chris Jones is willing to give up
game checks for each game for the first eight weeks
of the regular season. Each game check one million dollars
over one million dollars per game that he gets paid,
and he's willing to give that up. If you believe him,
(08:38):
you take him at face value. So based on the
base salary of nineteen and a half million dollars for
Chris Jones, using malor math, he is willing to give
back eight point six six six million dollars in salary.
So that's a whole lot of cheddar. You're willing to
(09:00):
push back, but that's what he says. He says he's
budgeted for that, and Kansas City's gonna be fine because
as long as Chris Jones is there midway through the season,
he'll actually end up being fresher down the stretch, assuming
he doesn't break a leg and is actually out there
on the field. But even if he goes a wall
(09:20):
for the Chiefs defense. Here is the Greek philosopher, philosopher
back of the day, Aristotle. He said the whole is
greater than the sum of its parts. And so he
is replaceable. And he's been balling. He's been great Chris Jones,
but he's replaceable. Kansas City just have to be a
little bit better on offense. Everyone and everything is just temporary.
(09:43):
To quote Jim Irsay, But Chris Jones will be back,
based on his own reporting, by week nine. That's November fifth,
the Chiefs they have one of those international games. They
play the Miami Dolphins cross the ocean. If I have
that correct now page two here, let's go to Indianapolis.
(10:04):
After the Colts granted their running back Jonathan Taylor a
opportunity to go out and roam around and find a
new contract out in the boondocks of the NFL. They
gave him permission to seek a trade. The market is
taking shape. Now. I get a kick out of this
because you've got the Colt side that is leaking, nobody
(10:26):
wants this guy, We're not getting any real offers. Then
you've got the agent for Jonathan Taylor, who is leaking
all kinds of amazing offers better than expected. You can
tell who's writing the story where they got the source from.
It's either from the Taylor camp or the Colts camp.
The culture saying nobody really wants this guy. They're not
offering what we want. And then the Taylor's side, it's like,
(10:48):
oh yeah, man, this guy. There's so many teams horny
for this guy. They want to get a hold of them.
And so you can tell how that's going now. If
you look at the reporting state funded NFL networking, the
Colts are receiving interest. The phone has been ringing. What
happened to the text? There's other reports indicating that it's
not the case. So we really take what you want now.
(11:09):
Regardless of that, the gambling folks over DraftKings, a partner
of Fox Sports Radio. They have the Miami Dolphins at
plus two fifty. They're the favorite to get Taylor, followed
by the Chicago Bears and the Baltimore Ravens. Bears are
plus four hundred, Ravens are plus seven hundred, and then
(11:30):
after that on DraftKings, the Broncos and the Cowboys are
plus seven fifty for Jonathan Taylor. So what do the
gambling odds regarding Jonathan Taylor colts trade tell us? What
do the gambling gods tell us? So the gambling market
the trade market based on looking how the gambling market works.
(11:53):
It's like the misery index. It doesn't guarantee that you're
gonna tell you what's gonna happen, but people on Wall
Street say, well that that's a big indicator, the misery index.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
So it's kind of like that where you're looking around,
you're like, OK, that's pretty good indicator. There's really no
surprise on the board. The Dolphins. Everyone's like, ah, Dolphins, Dolphins, Dolphins, Dolphins.
That's been there. The Bears and the Ravens are the
top three, and they all make varying degrees of sense.
(12:24):
Miami needs. They don't necessarily need it, but they'd be
better off with a name brand running back and the
guy that they can count on, although can you really
count on Taylor? He missed a bunch of games last year,
And then you look at Baltimore. They're trying to go
all in and keep up with Kansas City, Cincinnati and Buffalo,
and they need more weapons for Lamar Jackson. And then Chicago.
(12:48):
They're trying to make a splash. They have convinced themselves
that Justin fields to the moon in Chicago, and they
believe he's going to be amazing. I'll believe it when
I see it. I'm a skeptic how he does to
begin the year against the Packers. But the Bears are excited.
They're all little giddy there. People are fired up for
the Bears. And so we'll see how this plays out.
Now the last word here, So let's go now to
(13:11):
Tom Brady's replacement, who has been named. The news coming
out early in the day yesterday that Baker Mayfield has
won the job. He will start for a different NFL
team for the third consecutive year. Call that the Carson
Wentz So third consecutive year. He wins the Bucks number
(13:31):
one job, beating out Kyle Trask or as some call him,
Kyle Trash, but Baker Mayfield will be the starting quarterback
in Tampa. Todd Bowles made things kosher on Tuesday. Is
it time for the Buccaneer fans to start stressing out
about the idea of watching Baker Mayfield start at quarterback
(13:53):
for their favorite NFL team under center. So I'm gonna
go no, it is not time now to start stressing out.
You gotta have a grace period. I call it suspended animation,
where you kind of pause everything and you get one game.
You get one game. That's it in the NFL. One game,
because one game's worth ten games in like baseball. One
(14:14):
game in the NFL's worth ten games in baseball. So
you get one game in football, which is ten games
in baseball. And we'll see what he does against the
Minnesota Vikings, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Baker may for one game, and Todd Bowles had no
easy off ramp. Lava is the floor there anywhere you go,
(14:35):
there's lava. If you're Todd Bowles. Now, Baker is the
lesser of two evils. No one will question the Buccaneers
because he's the big name. He was the number one
overall pick. He used to do a lot of commercials
on television, so people know who he is. But it's
like picking how you want to be killed. Would you
take the butcher knife or a live hand grenade. Which
one are you gonna go with? Baker Mayfield is the
(14:58):
epitome of big name little game. If you look at
the last twenty six games Mayfield has played over the
last couple of years, he has only six more touchdowns
than interceptions. His yards per attempt is below average, his
completion percentage just over sixty percent. That blows, and it's
passer rating eighty one. Also, el stinko for Baker Mayfield.
(15:23):
So let me rephrase this. Kyle Trask, even though he stinks,
also will at some point be playing quarterback for the Buccaneers.
They'll be rotating it in and likely someone not even
on the roster will end up playing for Tampa Bay.

We began the night with a story out of Kansas City.
Chris Jones, unhappy, says we'll miss the first eight games.
He's willing to sit out unless the Chiefs pay him.
You either pay me or I will sit out. How
dare you sure they're biting their fingernails right now losing
(17:07):
their mind in Kansas City? Unless they're not crying. Craig
checks in from Seattle. He says, the Mariners keep on winning,
and therefore I keep crying my eyes out. An ALCS
team or even better, and I'll cry Winnang good vibrations.
The Seattle Mariners the first team with multiple eight or
(17:33):
more game winning streaks within a calendar month since the
Dodgers wang twenty seventeen. The Dodgers won the World Series
that year. They were the team that didn't cheat. The
a holes cheated in the twenty seventeen World Series. The
Mariners also the first team to do that within August
(17:56):
or later since the Orioles of nineteen eighty. There's a
stat for everything in baseball, and what does it mean?
Not much? Shane from Des Moines. Wrights In says, who
is the number one spot on the Big Ben Big
Board of technical producers. Well, I'm glad that you're concerned
(18:16):
about the hiring process here at Fox Sports Radio. Shane
in Des Moines, I have no idea. Every night I
come in here, there's someone else I don't know, three nights.
It's like Baker Mayfield starts for someway. I came in
a Sunday. We had we had Mark he's the White
Sox fan. And then we had the Toledo guy Chris
(18:40):
here last night, and now it's the Iowa guy, Iowa Sam.
And tomorrow I think we're gonna get somebody from Sheboygan,
someone froman. Should we do a new game where we
can see what listener can guess first which tech producer
is on the shift that night?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Well, I also think we need to launch an investigation,
a Mallord show.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Of investigation, Eddie. What do we need to investigate?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Well, I think there might have been some false statements
made by Iowa Sam which led to us awarding him
an air fry that's right, yeah, and he has not
taken over for Roberto full time as we were promised,
So I think the air frar may need to be returned.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
That's a good point here, thrown the river gone no
no Sam.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Well, if that's the case, then there may need to be,
you know, repercussions for that.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Those are ill begotten gains, Iowa Sam, just like we
don't count the a Holes winning the World Series in
twenty seventeen because they cheated you. You said something, Iowa Sam,
we believed you, and here we are. How many it
has been at least a month since that statement, at
least control.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And well, the statement that you made was in your control,
and that caused us to award you in celebration a
year with an air frer.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
You are not privy to certain information.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Well, I you made I'm on team Eddie team statements
or my statements are legit? Are there any other shows
that have the rotating the merry go round to board
ops that we have other than our We're the only
one seven day week network though, to fill the holes.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
We only care about our holes.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I don't really care about the other holes. Iowa Sam,
I know, see Iowa Sam cares about the other other situations.
We care about what we do. We're only in charge
of the overnight. We're not in charge. I'd love to
be in charge of dating a daytime shift, because that's
the real estate is more valuable. I would say they
paid more money for that daytime real estate than the
nighttime real estate. But I don't make schedule.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Trust me, if I did, there'd be uh, there would
be some changes.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, you would not be working this shift if you
made your own schedule. You do not like this shift,
You've complained about you you do not like doing the
over You do not like the overnight. I've heard people
in the building tell me things.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
You don't know if that's that's false.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
No, that is not fault. People tell me you like
working overnight.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I like working on these shows?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
You like working overnight? I like working on these show
That's what he did. Is a non answer answer. That's
a weasel answer right there. It's a direct question, sir.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Answer is not worthy of your honor.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
We have a hostile answer. We have a hostile witness
here again, I'll ask you, do you like working the
overnight hours?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I like working on these shows.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That's see, that's a non answer. That's you like working
on these shows.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Next question.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Okay, so I would saying hostile and.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I like working on these shows, and I I like
working the overnight.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Well you why didn't you say that? I asked you
a direct question, do you like.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Because it needs to be answered in a certain well, no.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It does not need to be answered in a certain
way at all. It can be answered directly. It's a
yes no question, yeah, yes or no? Do you like
working the overnight hours?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I like working on the.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yes or no? Yes or no? That's as good as
a yeah. That's a that's a no.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I don't know we're yelling about.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I think the air fry needs to be returned.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Eddie's right past.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
You wants to until time should be awarded again.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I'm willing to trade you. I think we need to
give back the air for and give us a toaster. Yeah,
brand new toaster, and I'm willing to give you an
exchange a stratomatic game I will give you. Did you
guys open that box yet? What's in the box? It's
great marked the full name. Guy. I didn't ask for this.
(22:19):
I didn't. I didn't say I need this. My life
is incomplete because I don't have stratamatic baseball. And Eddie,
do you remember strata maatic baseball? I mean so yeah,
that's like ninth late eighties. Maybe thing was so detailed. Yeah,
it seems like it was earlier. It was like so
many little cards and little like you noticed.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Sam is really interested in changing the subject.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
And I know I'll just say I don't make the schedule.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Then why did you tell us you were going to
be taking over rever?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Great question, Eddie, great question.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
I was saying, because that might happen.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
That happened, goes Louisel.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Then he wanted that Airfrier is so bad. He misled us,
and in celebration we awarded him the air Friar and
now he has it right. There has to be something Amazon,
there has to be something done about this. Justice, no peace.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I'm going to reach out, Okay, I'm going to reach
out to the man that sent the air Friar and
the fried Daddy gone in Pennsylvania and Friday that's his
air Frar. That's Fridaddy's got eighteen dollars for it.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
He sent it here. It cost him seven hundred and
seventy dollars shipping to send it out here. Yes, the
cost of shipping.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
And don't forget we even had a a our game
show winner, Our Our Our Mallord Talent show. Young hit
to Sam because she thought he was going to be
a part of the Ben Mallor Show. Now he's just
he's kind of a guy. Sometimes she likes my work.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
You're just in a rotation. Marks. I'm here the majority
of the time. Mark's been here more than you. Over
the last few months, I think we've worked with Mark.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I've been here three nights a week most times.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I don't know yeah. I said, hey, hey, ho ho,
the air Friar's gotta go. Oh, the air Friar's gotta go.
Best vegas seeds for it. What do we want the
air frier? When do we want it? Now? That's right?
See ah ah, I want to tell you I got
a bag of seeds for it. This is what our
(24:15):
democracy needs, the air frier. We need the air Frier.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
It has been sent to the Baseball Gulag and he

(26:01):
A follow up to a story we talked about in
a previous episode of the show. And if you have
some kind of weird habit and you happen to make
the pros, you can monetize that Will Levis. Remember this cat,
Will Levis. He's with the Tennessee Titans. Now he fell
in the NFL Draft. But before the NFL Draft, we
(26:22):
learned that Will Levis has a bizarre habit. He likes
to have his coffee with Mayo. He likes to squeeze
some nice mayonnaise into his coffee. There. We found this
out at SEC media day or media days, and some
(26:42):
people use a creamer and he decides, you know, I
don't need a creamer in my coffee. I'll just use
the mayonnaise. And so the people over at Helman's said, boy,
that's our guy. And so the Titans quarterback Will Levis,
who's not even played a regular season game in the
NFL yet, but he is still He's still, scored a
(27:03):
lifetime endorsement deal with Hellman's Mayonnaise, so he does not
have to worry about going to the store to buy
mayonnaise for the rest of his life. Now, what does
that mean a lifetime supply? What if he's a Mayo
pack a day guy or a bottle of Mayo a
week guy. Would they send him out a bottle of
(27:23):
mayonnaise for every week? Or I would say no, probably.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Not, maybe like a couple of months, something like that
little box every month, something like that.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I knew so many years ago that had a McDonald's
Golden Archers card. I think it was called you know,
they give those out to people that are famous that
don't that can't afford to buy them.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I don't know if they still do, but they did
years ago, and you get a card.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It's like a gold famous person.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
You knew it's not important, but but but he had
the card. Who was You can get free food, eddie,
but you were limited, like you couldn't just go in
there and order everything on the menu, right, you could
get like a me. How come we don't get those?
We're very important people. We do the overnight shows. Hook
us up with some kind of lifetime supply of something.
(28:08):
I think so I'd even take mayo. There are some
people that are anti mayo. I'm neutral on mayo. I'm
like Switzerland. I don't love mayo, I don't hate mayo.
I'll take some mayo. I ain't drinking my coffee with mayo.
But there's some people.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
You're not drinking your coffee with anything not undrink coffee.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
But there's some people that are total anti mayo.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Peaah. It's kind of a it's kind of a gross concoction,
but you need it though on a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
It's one of those things in life that you can't
have it too drive. You don't need, no, you don't
want it to drive. You don't need to know how
everything's made.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Although I remember my mom, God rest her soul, when
she would make a sandwich. She'd put the mayo on
and then she would like lick the excess mayo like
off the spoon, and I would like gag when she
would do.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
That extreme extreme love of mayo for Mama Garzina. My
mom always shed tuta fish and mayo. That was my
my lunch a couple of days a week. Oh you
were lucky, kid, No, I was not. I was not, no,
no no, because staple, the ice pack had not fully
developed at the time I was a child. That he
So I don't like I know, yeah exactly. So I'd
(29:13):
be eating a warm, uh you know, lukewarm tuna fish sandwich,
which started out perfect right when it was made. When
my mom made it, you know, she made it perfect.
It was great right temperature a looked cool on the cool side,
and that's why I have not eaten a tuna fish
sandwich since I got out of elementary school. Hold on,
what did you say was not fully developed? The the
(29:33):
ice the cooling down of foods, the ice pack is it?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
See? I see they have great ice packs. Now food
is wonderful. But all I had was like a metal superman,
you know, lunch box, and I had a tuna fish
sandwich and a bag of chips.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Who knows what temperature your food was getting to during
the day.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I should be dead.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Bacteria levels, Yeah, it's bacteria.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
What doesn't kill you makes a strong That's right.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
You brought that stuff into school.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
And so congratulations to Will Levis, the brand ambassador for mayonnaise.
Do you really think that somebody's gonna go to the
store and say, I wasn't gonna buy Helman's mayonnaise, but
I saw Will Levice, So now I'm gonna buy that
brand of mayonnaise. Does that actually work? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
If he was an Iowa Hawkeye, I'm sure Sam would
have bought it.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
He's warning the Hawkeyes.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Had I buy a best brand or something. It's much
better than Helman's. Helen's is fine, fine, Wow, slamming helmets. No,
Helmans is fine.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
They all taste the same.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I mean, you know Nole's Miracle Whip, the Miracle Lip's
good too.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Trash. Oh yeah, look at going after a long opinion
on mayonnaise and and Best Foods or or Helman's. That's
that's the only way to that's the only way to
go with ma.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Best Foods is good. Best foods brand. What about just
doing store brand? Yeah, it's fine. It's just egg and
other stuff. Yeah, whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
You can make your own, your own at home, right, say, probably.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Kind of like vodka isn't vodka same?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
The package is just different distilled alcohol. You can make
vodka out of grapes. You can make vodka to potatoes.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Potatoes is what it's known for.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Yeah, but you can actually you can buy vodka made
out of grapes. You can find it at Trader Joe's.
How about that, it's a rock that. Yeah, the vodka's
just booze. It's just pure alcohol.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Okay, vodka is just booze.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
That's a hot out. It's like it's just nobody just distilled.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
It's like rubbing alcohol it's just it's nothing, you know,
mixes well with other things.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Any other takes you'd like to share with the We
got three more out.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
The Mayo story from Levis was all a lie, you know.
He just said that that was just a joke. By
the way he said. He cleared that up on April
and April he said, I was just screwing with people.
I don't actually do.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
That, and you believe him.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
It says it right here. Uh No, that's just a
stupid thing I did that I thought was funny. I
don't actually do it. So just to dispel that.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I'm sure he got a lot of pushback and he
didn't want to be hedn't want to be a male.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
But he also like was caught eating a banana with
the peel on it, and he doesn't really do that either.
He's just a joker.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
And I've never had speaking of banana, I've never had
the banana Mao sandwich, but that's very popular in the
South Sound.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
My mom used to eat from Alabama banana peanut butter and.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Dale Earnhard Junior. Was he the one that used to
eat the bit that was he He was known for
that that.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Was possible Sandwich anyway, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
