Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our dum birthree, our three ready to go, and
what is your verdict on Robert Kraft A crafty little
devil there, the.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Owner of the New England football team, saying that he
likes the fact the Patriots are being picked to finish
in last place in the AFC East. Also we rate
the rebock move to make Justin Fields the face of
that sneaker company and Dak Prescott saying that he is
(00:35):
comfortable in Dallas. Is this good or bad news for
the cowboy officionatos that and lame jokes of the week
right now here, it is our number three, A crafty
little devil. Weldun in the big dinning of another hour
(00:58):
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, allies,
as we rise through the ranks, coast, the coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and uproarously powerful
microphones of FSR AM nating live from the Goose the

(01:42):
buying shoote in our lead this hour, coming from the NFL.
Always fairgame, Always fairgame, to talk about what happened on
the Thursday night game.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
We did a Mallard monologue on.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
That earlier and a surprise, mind I old surprise Kansas
City without two of their top three players. The Detroit
Lions taking advantage as they go in to arrow Heads Stadium,
one of the hallowed stadiums in the NFL, and they
walk out with a one point win. Mister Montgomery, David Montgomery,
(02:19):
New Lions, seventy four yards on the ground. He had
turned out to be the game winning touchdown as Jared
Goff out played Patrick Mahomes, but mainly because of a
tipped pass that was thrown perfectly to Kadarius Tony, the
wide receiver who had a data forget. He was stargeted
(02:39):
five times. He had two drops, one catch for one yard.
Holy crap does that suck? And the Chiefs end up
losing the game. So that was the big story in
the Thursday night game. But our lead this hour coming
from football, but from New England. It is Tom Brady
weekend for the page and they're hosting Jalen Hurts and
(03:03):
the Birds as Brady will be welcome back to the
Fraternal Order of Foxborough. Now, as for the on field product,
my friends, you guys in Boston have told me that
the Patriots are going to be horrific. And the expectations
in the media are that the Patriots will be swimming
doing the backstroke in a cesspool. And you wouldn't know
(03:24):
that though, based on what the owners said at a
ribbon cutting ceremony they cut the ribbon celebrating renovations at
the stadium. Yeah, let's celebrate. We have a new scoreboard.
So now we're going to charge you even more when
we gouge.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
You as a custer.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Anyway, if you didn't hear what he had to say,
maybe not. Robert Kraft is his name, and he said
that he likes that's the word he used, likes that
most people are picking the Patriots for the very basement
in the AFCAS the Grand Hooba of the Pats saying
the praises of offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien working with Mac Jones,
(04:09):
and he mentioned the word chemistry twice in discussing the
upcoming season, He bragged about this being the youngest team
since he became the owner of the franchise, said that
he's actually excited about the team.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Well, that's shocking.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
That's a really surprising take. So let us discuss the question,
what is your verdict on Robert Kraft saying that he
likes the Patriots being picked for last place. So I
have sophomore, dodgeball and zone defense, and we'll combine all
(04:46):
of these things together and we are going to make
a rainbow. And that pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow, that is what we're gonna make. So
to kick off here, the response by the owner of
the Patriots was that of a charlatan. That was the Now,
(05:06):
it's kind of like my favorite legal quote, which I
love anytime we do a legal story, I try to
work into the monologue, and the quote is if you
don't know it, if you have the facts on your side,
you pound the facts. If you have the law on
your side, you pound the law. If you have neither
on your side, you just pound the table. I love that.
It's one of the great quotes of all times. Well,
the Patriots, they don't have a dominant quarterback. They don't
(05:30):
have a star packed roster. So instead of talking about
those things, they're celebrating their fifty three year old offensive
coordinator pumping the tires on Bill O'Brien as the Harry
Potter of the offense. He's got all the secrets. So
(05:52):
Robert Craft is mostly praising things that can't be measured,
things that can't be measured for a thousand hour, turning
the Patriots locker room into a sophomore chemistry class. And
in my head, I have that cartoon bubble over my head,
and I just imagine Robert Kraft walking around. He's wearing
the lab code and he's filling up beakers and flasks
(06:16):
and test tubes and bottles and all that. He's using
those stirring rods and mixing the chemicals and the lab
all together. You're praising things you can't touch, see or hold.
Why would you do that, right, because you are talking
out of your tushy. That's what Robert Craft is doing.
He can't say we've got the greatest young quarterback, we
(06:37):
got the greatest wide receipts running back. You can't do
any of those things. So instead you're like, Wow, the
chemistry really really good yeah, Patriots are a middling team.
Now that said, I do not believe they're going to
be terrible. I think there'll be a middling team. You
people in the Commonwealth have told me, based on what
I've gotten from you, that I'm wrong. They have nobody
(06:59):
that can block, they have no receivers, blah blah blah
blah blah blah. Al Right, Furthermore, let's go to Chicago.
And I don't know if you noticed, but the audience
in Chicago has grown, which is odd to me because
we're still on terrestrial radio or not on there. But
the people have found the show, whether it's satellite radio
or they found the streaming services that were on iHeart
(07:20):
and all that, but either way, with more people in
Chicago listening than ever before. And Rebock announced that it
has entered into a very splashy partnership with Justin Fields,
the Bears quarterback. Now Fields will behouring himself out in
Rebock merch going forward, you're gonna see his mugs sprinkled
all over social media and old media, television, radio, although
(07:45):
I don't think you can see him on radio. So
I want you to rate rate the Rebok move here
to make Justin Fields the face of the company. So
I rate this. I got two words. Risky business is
what I have here, not my money. And I don't
buy athletic sneakers because a celebrity athlete wears them. That's
(08:09):
not Maybe when I was a kid, I did, I guess,
but I don't do that now I guess. I'm all
grown up. I'm setting my ways. But the sneaker company
has clearly been put into a trance. They have been
hypnotized by the hype. It's a great job by Justin
Field's reps who have been able to plant these stories
(08:30):
out in the media all off season, all off season
about Justin Fields and the shoe people are under a spell.
And as they said in that great movie Dodgeball back
in the day, that's a bold move Cotton. That is
a bold strategy cotton. Justin Fields suffered from leaking gut
(08:51):
syndrome at Soldier Field last year. It's basic aerospace engineering.
Not every rocket makes it into and some misfire right
on the launching pad and fall off into the ocean
or the lake like Lake Michigan. And I have nothing
against Justin Fields personally, but Justin Fields was the NFL's
(09:12):
least accurate quarterback. He guided the worst team in football.
That's how they ended up with the number one pick.
The moral of the story is that all of those things,
being the worst quarterback at accuracy and the statistically worst
passing quarterback we've seen in many, many years, and guiding
the worst team in football is irrelevant. Social media doesn't
(09:34):
care about wins and losses. It's all about the tick talk,
sizzle reel. Justin Fields should be better this year, but
there's no guarantee the Bears are gonna win more games.
He's been paid as a content creator here, and we've
seen this for a long time. It's not a new phenomenon.
But you don't have to actually win, you don't actually
(09:58):
have to be good, as long as you give us
the video game cheat code, play the highlight. It's unimportant.
The wins and losses part of the equation. It doesn't
matter all right, party shot. I've been told by our
friend Justin in Cincinnati that I am contractually obligated to
(10:19):
mention the Dallas Cowboys or else he will turn off
the show. So I will go down to Jerry's world
where Dak Prescott. That's right, Dak Prescott believes that he
has reached a new level of comfort in the Cowboys
offense this summer, as they have Mike McCarthy calling the
show as the play caller. Dak Prescott saying, quote, my
(10:42):
comfort level is at an all time high. My comfort
level is at an all time high. And that's the money.
Quote quickly, Dak Prescott super duper comfortable in the Dallas offense.
Is this good or bad news for the Jerry Jones
(11:03):
football team? And I'm gonna go first here. This is
dragon breath, Dragon breath. This explains a lot of the
issues with the Cowboys, Holy Texas toast right, Dak Prescott
is in his happy place during regular season games in
Jerry's worthy very comforts, and my comfort level is at
(11:25):
an all time high. You must, I learned.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
This a while.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
You must step out of your comfort to achieve the
pinnacle of success. The zone defense doesn't often work right,
the prevent zone defense there, we see it in football
all the time. It usually blows up in your face.
But staying in your comfort zone hinders improvements getting to
(11:53):
the higher levels on the video game or in this case,
the NFL playoffs. So to me, this explains the lack
of resilience from Dakota in big games. Right, See, how
many years have we seen this same thing happens over
and over and over and over and over again. And yeah,
here's more money, here's more money. Have a good day,
chi Ching, Chiching, Chiching. Just wonderful. That is great. Anyway,
(12:19):
It is the Ben Malord Show if you want to

lame jokes of the week. Time now for the Malor
Riddle of the day.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Hey, here it is.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
The X of Tom Brady. Legendary supermodel Giselle bunchin announced
that she has released her first blank again. The ex
of Tom Brady, legendary supermodel Gisel Bunchin announced that she
has released her first blank. That is the Mallard Riddle
(13:24):
of the day. The answer, We'll get to it and
we will do it next.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

It is pain free and easy to do. Just follow
your host on Twitter. He's at Ben Mallar and you

Maybe one day, probably not. An l from the tyrac
dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios spend malor.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Mark did tell me that he's going to get a
mister microphone. He will communicate with people be his mister microphone.
So yeah, well that's an outdated reference.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
It's gonna say, wow, my.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
God, can you slap me Eddie please? That's Mike.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Do you remember the commercial for it? Yeah? Of course, yeah, yeah,
that doesn't know what that is, but.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Those of us that wanted to get broadcasting.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
That was like a big thing. It was like a
cheat code.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
You could buy this microphone coup and then you could
talk into it and it would come out of like
either your car stereo or like a boombox, so you
could like broadcast yourself.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
You were like a pirate radio.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
And there was this really I mean, you probably find
a really cheese a commercial where these guys are driving
in their convertible and he's talking to these girls walking
down the street. Is they he could looking back to
pick you up later.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
So anytime that you guys have because you've brought it
up in the past on the show, I always thought
you were talking about I don't know. Actually, you guys
probably need wouldn't get this reference. But in Toy Story,
there's a toy that I thought was mister microphone. It
was just like a little like a little speaker thing
and it had a microphone and you would carry it
(15:17):
around with you.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
But that's that's not this similar, but not exactly. This
was a rate like a radio. It wasn't attached to
the whatever.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Ahead of its time.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Now everyone's got bluetooth, but back then this was like
alien technology.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Oh they had voice effects.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah, you could have that pitch in your voice. It's wonderful. Anyway,
look it up it just just google it or go
on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
The commercial is on YouTube. At least it was a
couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I'm sure it's probably nothing leaves YouTube.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
It's on there forever and then make it seem like
it was the greatest thing ever. Oh yeah, you gotta
have this. I'm talking and it's coming out of the radio.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, and that, you know, that really impresses the ladies.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Come on, they could not jump in that convertible fast enough.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Of those guys push the women away there with it.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, all right, anyway, here is the Mallard Riddle of
the day. Legendary supermodel the X of Tom Brady, Giselle
Bunchin announced that she has released her first blank. That
is the Mallor riddle of the day. I'd see, does
anyone know the answer? Asher is going mixtape as the answer.
The saw Man says Ben Mallard's chicken fingers is the
(16:34):
way to go that is available in Kansas City, and
it really is a great food to eat when your
hometown chiefs lose page down.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Uh wow, Milkman, Mike.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Says her first parenting book. That is a low blow.
How dare you mallard? Prop guy says a book of
pirated recipes from Chef Roberto now the bus Driver page down,
page down, And Justin and Cincinnati says her first how
to make My husband a proper sandwich video?
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Wow from Justin.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Alf the Alien Opiner says she released her first fart
and oh you always remember your first part?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Don't you laugh about.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Jiu jitsu workout video from Kyle I could see that happening.
And Sean in the Valley of the Sun has chimed
and he says that Giselle released her release The Lady
Garden released that. Kevin in Florida says some kind of
artificial banana toy, he said. Wally in the Sunshine State
(17:40):
going with her first top ten poolboy list as the
answer slug our friend from Vegas Ey Boddy Eah Buddy
says a fart in a jar so a lot of
flatulence references on his Donkey Sausage says her first only
fans account Chip and the cues got it right. He's cheating,
(18:02):
bad job by by by him. I got like ten
guys all sending farts in there. I mean, you guys,
it's all with the Jared high wind, all you guys,
one after another.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
She's too pretty to fart.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, okay, yeah, and if she does fart, eddie, it's
just sugar anyway, all right, the correct answer. Giselle butchin
And asked that she has released her first Cookbuck. That's right, Cookbuck.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Cooking.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I know, all right, you're slaving away on the stove,
getting grease all over.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
At least he's super original. It's not like any other
famous athlete girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I know, I know. It was like we got we
got our friend in Milwaukee who's cooking soul food all night,
and then the Giselle's releasing a cookbook. He's making the
meat loaf and she's releasing the book. Aren't the two
easiest books to make? I heard this year is a
go uh. Children's book and a cookbook are the two
easiest books to make. That's why celebrities always go like
a children's book, because a child's book you have like
(19:09):
three or four words on it and a drawing, and
they don't do the drawing. And then a cookbook is
just you know, just putting ingredients together and like photos
of the food. It's like the easiest damn book to write.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
It's when is her baking book coming out?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
By the way, my bit i'd like to I'd like to.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I don't want to do a I do a book.
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Maybe I'll get a I know what. I actually was
talking to a guy, a buddy of mine, used to
be a sports writer. He writes books, you know, he
publishes books and stuff, and and they weren't interested.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
So I don't know. Maybe maybe now that I do
the TV thing, I get a book. There you go.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Does that pay any money any? I don't think that
pays a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
The books, right, I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Jason Smith wrote a book. JT wrote a book. Yeah,
I do.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
I remember JT know Jacky the.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Book wrote a book. Jason Smith had a book published
some other people.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Well, it was a sad story, but it wasn't about
the mets. I mean it was like a regular like
a fiction book.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
So really Yeah, a couple of years ago he wrote
a book. Who knew.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
our our friend Andrea.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
And she's hanging out in Berkeley.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
She's got all the star charts out and she's one
that correctly predicted that big things will be happening for
me this year because the chart lined up.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Hello Andrea, Hello.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
Man, I'm so glad good things are happening for you.
When is your show on?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
It's going to be on all various times, will be
on the Bay Area. I'm told it's gonna air a
lot on NBC Sports Bay Area this weekend, so oh yeah, yeah,
so it'll be on there, so check the schedule. And
we better get higher ratings in the athletics. If we
don't get the athletics then because I'm not moving to Vegas,
so we should do better than that. And uh, and
you don't know the outcome of Benny versus defending. You
(21:02):
know when you watch an A's game, what's going to happen.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
You know who's going to win?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Right?
Speaker 7 (21:06):
Sad but true, like one hundred losses, it's just been
a very challenging season for them. Planets did not align.
So be that as it may. On a happier note,
look forward to your show. And I think you said
it's also on SNY, which is great sports at New
York and New York, So yeah, I'll look forward on
(21:28):
NBC Sports Bay Area. And yeah, just you know, timing
is everything. Life is timing, sting of timing.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Is there something wrong now with Patrick mahomesh we'll be
worried about Patrick.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Mahomes Yes, you know, yeah, I hate to say because
I really like him. Ben. He's my virgo birthday twin
September seventeenth, a different year, obviously, he's nineteen ninety five.
And that neptune transit you might have recalled that. I
mentioned that last year. It was just a kind of
(22:02):
a taste of it last year, but it's back in
full force this year. And the son is your basic vitality.
Neptune is kind of like not a it's just like discouragement, disappointment, disillusionment.
And he said something, you know, Murgos are really hard
on themselves. And he said he was embarrassed for the loss.
(22:22):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I did not see that.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
No, I did not see that. Why would he be embarrassed?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Tony should put a bag on his head, not him.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Right, it's team effort, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Well, he threw a perfect pass and the receiver hit
him right in the hands and boot popped up in
the air. It's ridiculous. Yeah, it's like he looked like
an infielder for the A's trying to make a defensive play.
It bound off.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
M Yeah, that's not a compliment Patrick Mahomes. It's a
Yahoo Sports Patrick Mahomes was embarrassed by chief slaws to Lions,
and that's a good thing. And you know, I remember
Jared Goff when he was a quarterback at Cal at
UC Berkeley was a cow there.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
I remember that they weren't they weren't even really good.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
They had golf, and it's not like they had amazing
teams at Cal.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
He did, right, So that Neptune transit the three d's disillusionment,
disappointment and disenchantment. So he's sort of in that cycle.
I mean, it's just kind of. He never lost a
home he never lost the first game of the season,
and golf never lost an opener either against the Chiefs,
(23:39):
So there was some interesting.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
No, lady, not lost. He had been amazing in every
one of those games. Yeah, three four or five touchdown
the performances in the first game of the year. All right, Well,

Give me the hell. Yeah, we did see this. We
talked about the Texas Rangers radio.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
We're blind.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Rangers didn't play, but.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
They didn't lose. They did not lose.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
That's not actually is uh No, they're all star outfiller
o Dallas Garcia strained pell attended in the American leagues
with one hundred rbi. So getting worse for the Texas
Rangers losing their one of their best hitters as they struggle.
Are struggling right now, late in the season. Not a
(25:36):
good time to be struggling. Not a good time to
lose a good player too.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
No, but they're still They get a little fire under
their their belly there.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
They can they can turn this around. There's still time.
I wouldn't bet on it.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I covered an Angels team back, you know, I'll date myself.
But it was a long time ago, and the Angels
were running away with the American League West and got
to August and suddenly they didn't even know how to
tie their shoes and they totally gagged up this lead.
And then at the very end, it was like the
(26:12):
last couple of games of the regular season after sucking
for a month and a half, they won a few
games and forced a one game playoff against the Seattle
Mariners at the Kingdome. The Mariners won thirty.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Five to nothing. Uh, it was just it was It
was terrible.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
But they did win a couple of games at the
end to force the playoff. And this is a whole
different world with all these wild card teams. I don't
know what if if there's like fourteen or three teams
tied for the last.
Speaker 3 (26:38):

That's Chip in Maine.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Big Ben's Lame Jokes the Week. How did Lizzo break

Speaker 5 (34:17):
I don't know how she took off her bra?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Eddy, That's all it took, is it. That's Scott in
Maine who sent that one in? Why should we stop
telling these Lizzo banana jokes?
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Eddie?
Speaker 5 (34:29):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Low hanging fruit. That's why it's low hanging for That's

That's a Gordon in Tacoma. Coop, you got any jokes

Oh, Coop's got jokes? Offensive jokes?

Wow?
Speaker 6 (35:31):
That was that's from fer Cat.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Okay, I dare you for cat?
Speaker 1 (35:36):
What does it mean if weed Man sticks a quarter
in a tire and does not see Washington at all?
Speaker 5 (35:43):
I don't know what does it mean?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
It means he has lost his glasses. Also, Eddie, he
no more glasses. That's chip it made. He's lost his teeth,
His phone doesn't work. It's a big mess. He's totally disheveled.
What did Lisa say the best thing about.

with the girl.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
When she turned sixteen?
Speaker 1 (36:59):
No, no, when those last permanent teeth comes in that
last permit tooth. That's hill Billy Mike. Any other jokes
over there, Coop.
Speaker 6 (37:06):
Did you hear weed Man is debuting his own brand
of headphones. No, yes, they're called Deadbeats. That from osmomm That's.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
A good one, osiebo Mandam, good to have you a

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yeah, she said that she can't see him anymore. Can't
see him anymore that some Mike, thank you Mike. Lame
jokes for the week.
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our dum birthree, our three ready to go, and
what is your verdict on Robert Kraft A crafty little
devil there, the.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Owner of the New England football team, saying that he
likes the fact the Patriots are being picked to finish
in last place in the AFC East. Also we rate
the rebock move to make Justin Fields the face of
that sneaker company and Dak Prescott saying that he is
(00:35):
comfortable in Dallas. Is this good or bad news for
the cowboy officionatos that and lame jokes of the week
right now here, it is our number three, A crafty
little devil. Weldun in the big dinning of another hour
(00:58):
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, allies,
as we rise through the ranks, coast, the coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and uproarously powerful
microphones of FSR AM nating live from the Goose the

(01:42):
buying shoote in our lead this hour, coming from the NFL.
Always fairgame, Always fairgame, to talk about what happened on
the Thursday night game.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
We did a Mallard monologue on.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
That earlier and a surprise, mind I old surprise Kansas
City without two of their top three players. The Detroit
Lions taking advantage as they go in to arrow Heads Stadium,
one of the hallowed stadiums in the NFL, and they
walk out with a one point win. Mister Montgomery, David Montgomery,
(02:19):
New Lions, seventy four yards on the ground. He had
turned out to be the game winning touchdown as Jared
Goff out played Patrick Mahomes, but mainly because of a
tipped pass that was thrown perfectly to Kadarius Tony, the
wide receiver who had a data forget. He was stargeted
(02:39):
five times. He had two drops, one catch for one yard.
Holy crap does that suck? And the Chiefs end up
losing the game. So that was the big story in
the Thursday night game. But our lead this hour coming
from football, but from New England. It is Tom Brady
weekend for the page and they're hosting Jalen Hurts and
(03:03):
the Birds as Brady will be welcome back to the
Fraternal Order of Foxborough. Now, as for the on field product,
my friends, you guys in Boston have told me that
the Patriots are going to be horrific. And the expectations
in the media are that the Patriots will be swimming
doing the backstroke in a cesspool. And you wouldn't know
(03:24):
that though, based on what the owners said at a
ribbon cutting ceremony they cut the ribbon celebrating renovations at
the stadium. Yeah, let's celebrate. We have a new scoreboard.
So now we're going to charge you even more when
we gouge.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
You as a custer.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Anyway, if you didn't hear what he had to say,
maybe not. Robert Kraft is his name, and he said
that he likes that's the word he used, likes that
most people are picking the Patriots for the very basement
in the AFCAS the Grand Hooba of the Pats saying
the praises of offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien working with Mac Jones,
(04:09):
and he mentioned the word chemistry twice in discussing the
upcoming season, He bragged about this being the youngest team
since he became the owner of the franchise, said that
he's actually excited about the team.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Well, that's shocking.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
That's a really surprising take. So let us discuss the question,
what is your verdict on Robert Kraft saying that he
likes the Patriots being picked for last place. So I
have sophomore, dodgeball and zone defense, and we'll combine all
(04:46):
of these things together and we are going to make
a rainbow. And that pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow, that is what we're gonna make. So
to kick off here, the response by the owner of
the Patriots was that of a charlatan. That was the Now,
(05:06):
it's kind of like my favorite legal quote, which I
love anytime we do a legal story, I try to
work into the monologue, and the quote is if you
don't know it, if you have the facts on your side,
you pound the facts. If you have the law on
your side, you pound the law. If you have neither
on your side, you just pound the table. I love that.
It's one of the great quotes of all times. Well,
the Patriots, they don't have a dominant quarterback. They don't
(05:30):
have a star packed roster. So instead of talking about
those things, they're celebrating their fifty three year old offensive
coordinator pumping the tires on Bill O'Brien as the Harry
Potter of the offense. He's got all the secrets. So
(05:52):
Robert Craft is mostly praising things that can't be measured,
things that can't be measured for a thousand hour, turning
the Patriots locker room into a sophomore chemistry class. And
in my head, I have that cartoon bubble over my head,
and I just imagine Robert Kraft walking around. He's wearing
the lab code and he's filling up beakers and flasks
(06:16):
and test tubes and bottles and all that. He's using
those stirring rods and mixing the chemicals and the lab
all together. You're praising things you can't touch, see or hold.
Why would you do that, right, because you are talking
out of your tushy. That's what Robert Craft is doing.
He can't say we've got the greatest young quarterback, we
(06:37):
got the greatest wide receipts running back. You can't do
any of those things. So instead you're like, Wow, the
chemistry really really good yeah, Patriots are a middling team.
Now that said, I do not believe they're going to
be terrible. I think there'll be a middling team. You
people in the Commonwealth have told me, based on what
I've gotten from you, that I'm wrong. They have nobody
(06:59):
that can block, they have no receivers, blah blah blah
blah blah blah. Al Right, Furthermore, let's go to Chicago.
And I don't know if you noticed, but the audience
in Chicago has grown, which is odd to me because
we're still on terrestrial radio or not on there. But
the people have found the show, whether it's satellite radio
or they found the streaming services that were on iHeart
(07:20):
and all that, but either way, with more people in
Chicago listening than ever before. And Rebock announced that it
has entered into a very splashy partnership with Justin Fields,
the Bears quarterback. Now Fields will behouring himself out in
Rebock merch going forward, you're gonna see his mugs sprinkled
all over social media and old media, television, radio, although
(07:45):
I don't think you can see him on radio. So
I want you to rate rate the Rebok move here
to make Justin Fields the face of the company. So
I rate this. I got two words. Risky business is
what I have here, not my money. And I don't
buy athletic sneakers because a celebrity athlete wears them. That's
(08:09):
not Maybe when I was a kid, I did, I guess,
but I don't do that now I guess. I'm all
grown up. I'm setting my ways. But the sneaker company
has clearly been put into a trance. They have been
hypnotized by the hype. It's a great job by Justin
Field's reps who have been able to plant these stories
(08:30):
out in the media all off season, all off season
about Justin Fields and the shoe people are under a spell.
And as they said in that great movie Dodgeball back
in the day, that's a bold move Cotton. That is
a bold strategy cotton. Justin Fields suffered from leaking gut
(08:51):
syndrome at Soldier Field last year. It's basic aerospace engineering.
Not every rocket makes it into and some misfire right
on the launching pad and fall off into the ocean
or the lake like Lake Michigan. And I have nothing
against Justin Fields personally, but Justin Fields was the NFL's
(09:12):
least accurate quarterback. He guided the worst team in football.
That's how they ended up with the number one pick.
The moral of the story is that all of those things,
being the worst quarterback at accuracy and the statistically worst
passing quarterback we've seen in many, many years, and guiding
the worst team in football is irrelevant. Social media doesn't
(09:34):
care about wins and losses. It's all about the tick talk,
sizzle reel. Justin Fields should be better this year, but
there's no guarantee the Bears are gonna win more games.
He's been paid as a content creator here, and we've
seen this for a long time. It's not a new phenomenon.
But you don't have to actually win, you don't actually
(09:58):
have to be good, as long as you give us
the video game cheat code, play the highlight. It's unimportant.
The wins and losses part of the equation. It doesn't
matter all right, party shot. I've been told by our
friend Justin in Cincinnati that I am contractually obligated to
(10:19):
mention the Dallas Cowboys or else he will turn off
the show. So I will go down to Jerry's world
where Dak Prescott. That's right, Dak Prescott believes that he
has reached a new level of comfort in the Cowboys
offense this summer, as they have Mike McCarthy calling the
show as the play caller. Dak Prescott saying, quote, my
(10:42):
comfort level is at an all time high. My comfort
level is at an all time high. And that's the money.
Quote quickly, Dak Prescott super duper comfortable in the Dallas offense.
Is this good or bad news for the Jerry Jones
(11:03):
football team? And I'm gonna go first here. This is
dragon breath, Dragon breath. This explains a lot of the
issues with the Cowboys, Holy Texas toast right, Dak Prescott
is in his happy place during regular season games in
Jerry's worthy very comforts, and my comfort level is at
(11:25):
an all time high. You must, I learned.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
This a while.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
You must step out of your comfort to achieve the
pinnacle of success. The zone defense doesn't often work right,
the prevent zone defense there, we see it in football
all the time. It usually blows up in your face.
But staying in your comfort zone hinders improvements getting to
(11:53):
the higher levels on the video game or in this case,
the NFL playoffs. So to me, this explains the lack
of resilience from Dakota in big games. Right, See, how
many years have we seen this same thing happens over
and over and over and over and over again. And yeah,
here's more money, here's more money. Have a good day,
chi Ching, Chiching, Chiching. Just wonderful. That is great. Anyway,
(12:19):

Riddle of the day.

Speaker 1 (14:27):

either your car stereo or like a boombox, so you
could like broadcast yourself.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
You were like a pirate radio.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
And there was this really I mean, you probably find
a really cheese a commercial where these guys are driving
in their convertible and he's talking to these girls walking
down the street. Is they he could looking back to
pick you up later.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
So anytime that you guys have because you've brought it
up in the past on the show, I always thought
you were talking about I don't know. Actually, you guys
probably need wouldn't get this reference. But in Toy Story,
there's a toy that I thought was mister microphone. It
was just like a little like a little speaker thing
and it had a microphone and you would carry it
(15:17):
around with you.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
But that's that's not this similar, but not exactly. This
was a rate like a radio. It wasn't attached to
the whatever.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Ahead of its time.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Now everyone's got bluetooth, but back then this was like
alien technology.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Oh they had voice effects.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah, you could have that pitch in your voice. It's wonderful. Anyway,
look it up it just just google it or go
on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
The commercial is on YouTube. At least it was a
couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I'm sure it's probably nothing leaves YouTube.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
It's on there forever and then make it seem like
it was the greatest thing ever. Oh yeah, you gotta
have this. I'm talking and it's coming out of the radio.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, and that, you know, that really impresses the ladies.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Come on, they could not jump in that convertible fast enough.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Of those guys push the women away there with it.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, all right, anyway, here is the Mallard Riddle of
the day. Legendary supermodel the X of Tom Brady, Giselle
Bunchin announced that she has released her first blank. That
is the Mallor riddle of the day. I'd see, does
anyone know the answer? Asher is going mixtape as the answer.
The saw Man says Ben Mallard's chicken fingers is the
(16:34):
way to go that is available in Kansas City, and
it really is a great food to eat when your
hometown chiefs lose page down.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Uh wow, Milkman, Mike.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Says her first parenting book. That is a low blow.
How dare you mallard? Prop guy says a book of
pirated recipes from Chef Roberto now the bus Driver page down,
page down, And Justin and Cincinnati says her first how
to make My husband a proper sandwich video?
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Wow from Justin.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Alf the Alien Opiner says she released her first fart
and oh you always remember your first part?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Don't you laugh about.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Jiu jitsu workout video from Kyle I could see that happening.
And Sean in the Valley of the Sun has chimed
and he says that Giselle released her release The Lady
Garden released that. Kevin in Florida says some kind of
artificial banana toy, he said. Wally in the Sunshine State
(17:40):
going with her first top ten poolboy list as the
answer slug our friend from Vegas Ey Boddy Eah Buddy
says a fart in a jar so a lot of
flatulence references on his Donkey Sausage says her first only
fans account Chip and the cues got it right. He's cheating,
(18:02):
bad job by by by him. I got like ten
guys all sending farts in there. I mean, you guys,
it's all with the Jared high wind, all you guys,
one after another.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
She's too pretty to fart.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, okay, yeah, and if she does fart, eddie, it's
just sugar anyway, all right, the correct answer. Giselle butchin
And asked that she has released her first Cookbuck. That's right, Cookbuck.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Cooking.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I know, all right, you're slaving away on the stove,
getting grease all over.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
At least he's super original. It's not like any other
famous athlete girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I know, I know. It was like we got we
got our friend in Milwaukee who's cooking soul food all night,
and then the Giselle's releasing a cookbook. He's making the
meat loaf and she's releasing the book. Aren't the two
easiest books to make? I heard this year is a
go uh. Children's book and a cookbook are the two
easiest books to make. That's why celebrities always go like
a children's book, because a child's book you have like
(19:09):
three or four words on it and a drawing, and
they don't do the drawing. And then a cookbook is
just you know, just putting ingredients together and like photos
of the food. It's like the easiest damn book to write.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
It's when is her baking book coming out?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
By the way, my bit i'd like to I'd like to.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I don't want to do a I do a book.
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Maybe I'll get a I know what. I actually was
talking to a guy, a buddy of mine, used to
be a sports writer. He writes books, you know, he
publishes books and stuff, and and they weren't interested.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
So I don't know. Maybe maybe now that I do
the TV thing, I get a book. There you go.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Does that pay any money any? I don't think that
pays a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
The books, right, I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Jason Smith wrote a book. JT wrote a book. Yeah,
I do.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
I remember JT know Jacky the.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Book wrote a book. Jason Smith had a book published
some other people.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Well, it was a sad story, but it wasn't about
the mets. I mean it was like a regular like
a fiction book.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
So really Yeah, a couple of years ago he wrote
a book. Who knew.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
our our friend Andrea.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
And she's hanging out in Berkeley.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
She's got all the star charts out and she's one
that correctly predicted that big things will be happening for
me this year because the chart lined up.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Hello Andrea, Hello.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
Man, I'm so glad good things are happening for you.
When is your show on?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
It's going to be on all various times, will be
on the Bay Area. I'm told it's gonna air a
lot on NBC Sports Bay Area this weekend, so oh yeah, yeah,
so it'll be on there, so check the schedule. And
we better get higher ratings in the athletics. If we
don't get the athletics then because I'm not moving to Vegas,
so we should do better than that. And uh, and
you don't know the outcome of Benny versus defending. You
(21:02):
know when you watch an A's game, what's going to happen.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
You know who's going to win?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Right?
Speaker 7 (21:06):
Sad but true, like one hundred losses, it's just been
a very challenging season for them. Planets did not align.
So be that as it may. On a happier note,
look forward to your show. And I think you said
it's also on SNY, which is great sports at New
York and New York, So yeah, I'll look forward on
(21:28):
NBC Sports Bay Area. And yeah, just you know, timing
is everything. Life is timing, sting of timing.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Is there something wrong now with Patrick mahomesh we'll be
worried about Patrick.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Mahomes Yes, you know, yeah, I hate to say because
I really like him. Ben. He's my virgo birthday twin
September seventeenth, a different year, obviously, he's nineteen ninety five.
And that neptune transit you might have recalled that. I
mentioned that last year. It was just a kind of
(22:02):
a taste of it last year, but it's back in
full force this year. And the son is your basic vitality.
Neptune is kind of like not a it's just like discouragement, disappointment, disillusionment.
And he said something, you know, Murgos are really hard
on themselves. And he said he was embarrassed for the loss.
(22:22):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I did not see that.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
No, I did not see that. Why would he be embarrassed?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Tony should put a bag on his head, not him.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Right, it's team effort, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Well, he threw a perfect pass and the receiver hit
him right in the hands and boot popped up in
the air. It's ridiculous. Yeah, it's like he looked like
an infielder for the A's trying to make a defensive play.
It bound off.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
M Yeah, that's not a compliment Patrick Mahomes. It's a
Yahoo Sports Patrick Mahomes was embarrassed by chief slaws to Lions,
and that's a good thing. And you know, I remember
Jared Goff when he was a quarterback at Cal at
UC Berkeley was a cow there.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
I remember that they weren't they weren't even really good.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
They had golf, and it's not like they had amazing
teams at Cal.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
He did, right, So that Neptune transit the three d's disillusionment,
disappointment and disenchantment. So he's sort of in that cycle.
I mean, it's just kind of. He never lost a
home he never lost the first game of the season,
and golf never lost an opener either against the Chiefs,
(23:39):
So there was some interesting.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
No, lady, not lost. He had been amazing in every
one of those games. Yeah, three four or five touchdown
the performances in the first game of the year. All right, Well,

Speaker 5 (25:12):
Rangers didn't play, but.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
They didn't lose. They did not lose.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
That's not actually is uh No, they're all star outfiller
o Dallas Garcia strained pell attended in the American leagues
with one hundred rbi. So getting worse for the Texas
Rangers losing their one of their best hitters as they struggle.
Are struggling right now, late in the season. Not a
(25:36):

They can they can turn this around. There's still time.
I wouldn't bet on it.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I covered an Angels team back, you know, I'll date myself.
But it was a long time ago, and the Angels
were running away with the American League West and got
to August and suddenly they didn't even know how to
tie their shoes and they totally gagged up this lead.
And then at the very end, it was like the
(26:12):
last couple of games of the regular season after sucking
for a month and a half, they won a few
games and forced a one game playoff against the Seattle
Mariners at the Kingdome. The Mariners won thirty.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Five to nothing. Uh, it was just it was It
was terrible.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
But they did win a couple of games at the
end to force the playoff. And this is a whole
different world with all these wild card teams. I don't
know what if if there's like fourteen or three teams
tied for the last.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Spot, I don't know what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
