Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our nume Bert to play the hits.
My man, play the hits, all right, We'll take some
happy pills and we'll play the hits. How do you process?
Speaking of happy pills? This Charger fan who went viral
for cheering for the LA football team there and very happy.

(00:24):
Look look fake. I swear, she swears it's real. The
NFL says it's real. But something didn't seem right. Also,
what is your reaction to Jerry Jones calling the Cowboys
performance sloppy? And will Kyler Murray's return make things better,
worse or keep them the same in Arizona. We'll talk

(00:45):
about that and more right now here. It is our
number two. I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and
we're in here. We're talking about a fan, not the
franchise player. A fan. What is that about? Welmeme. In
the beginning of another hour of the Benmalor Show, we are.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
In the a.

Shoe Me and our lead this hour, What's Old is

(01:56):
New Again, a story that we talked about in a
previous episode of this show has continued to be at
the forefront of our little dopey sporting world. No funny
business here, very serious. All right, We're gonna go to
TV land now. The Dallas Cowboys beat the Chargers and
a rather blah Monday night football game. Nothing on the
field was all that memorable. It was a cookie cutter

(02:19):
standard NFL game, low scoring, supposed to be high scoring,
a lot of penalties, a lot of sloppy play, nothing
out of the ordinary, certainly, nothing that is all that memorable.
But the story that stands out, and I'm never wrong
about this stuff, is someone that was sitting in a
luxury cabana, say why, I assume you know what I'm

(02:42):
talking about. If you've been listening and paying attention and
been engaged. But there's a chance maybe you haven't. Maybe
you've been in a fog somewhere and your memory's a
little gummy. So the Chargers are a football team still
trying to build a fan base after leaving San Diego
years ago, and a random woman wearing what appeared to
be a brand new, brand new Chargers powder blue jersey,

(03:07):
she was there. She went viral. Now, I was at
the game and I didn't really pay attention to it.
I saw the clips online and I was bombarded with
people who had hot takes on this. So this woman
wearing what appear to be a brand new powder blue
Charger jersey went viral for her over the top emotion.
She was very emotional during the Monday night football game.

(03:30):
And that woman has been tracked down. She has passionately
appropriately enough denied that she is a paid actress, a
plant ai bought any of those things. Her name, according
to the Internet, is Mary Anne Do. That's her name, Marian.

(03:52):
She's become an overnight celebrity. Of course, welcome to the club.
I'm an overnight celebrity. It's not that great anyway, Marion,
Mary Anne Do, very famous now, I guess internet famous
because she's animated, very animated there in her love of
Justin Herbert and the Chargers, who did what the Chargers
often do, visited the Heartbreak Hotel, lost twenty to seventeen

(04:15):
to the Cowboys at Sofi Stadium, and many people, many
people from near and far, accusing this woman of being
planted either by the NFL, by the Chargers, manufactured manufactured
increased female fan engagement, and that this is not legitimate.
So let us discuss, now, how do you process the

(04:38):
reaction reaction? How do you process the reaction to the
viral Charger fan again, her name Mary Anne?

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Do so.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
It does not pass the kosher test. For me, it
does not. I've got Will Ferrell, Pillsbury, dough Boy, and
Career Expo. We're gonna either sink or swim in this
Malard monologue, and we'll start with this number. It's embarrassing, right,

(05:16):
this whole story is embarrassing for the NFL and the Chargers.
And I'll tell you why. The fact that the NFL
has done so many shady things over the years that
it seems like most people think that this is a
fake story. Me included that it's not We're not getting
the whole story right, And many people seem to think

(05:38):
it's more believable that the NFL either planted a fan
or encouraged the fan to act a certain way, and
that this is not a die hard Charger fan. It
speaks volumes about the funny business that the NFL has
been engaged in over the years. Now, she may or
may not have been paid by the NFL, but we

(05:59):
know she up on the Pat McAfee show, and we
know that he pays apparently everyone that goes on the show.
He also is in bed with the NFL because he
works at ESPN, which is a partner of the NFL,
and happens to broadcast the Monday night game, And just
hours after that game ended, the very next day, they
tracked down this woman. How do they track down the

(06:21):
lady's number? I don't know, maybe they already had her number,
who knows. But she popped up there on the show.
Of course, she claimed it was all harmless, fun, very
organic and all that. Something just doesn't smell right when
you do the smell test on this, and I've done
my own investigating, it's just an extreme phony vibe. Now,
I understand there's a lot of glible people out there
that believe everything they're told. I mean, look at what

(06:43):
happened in twenty twenty, and I'm sure those people still
exist and they live amongst us. But this woman was
so over the top. It reminded me. I haven't watched
Saturday Night Live in years, but back in the days
I did watch Saturday Night Live. Will Ferrell was on there.
Back in the nineties. There was a character was a cheerleader.
He was a spartan cheerleader, if I remember correctly, and

(07:04):
just overly spirited, right, just annoyed everyone, that whole thing.
And that was for a TV show. This woman acted
like you would act if you knew you were on
television and you wanted to make sure the camera kept
coming back to you. It reminded you of if you've
ever watched the game show people have bought up our

(07:25):
buddy Jim Everett, the old Rams quarterback, brought up the
prices right, and how they look for the peppie cheerleader
to be on the game show. The laughing, the clapping,
the acting enthusiastic and all that over the top, right
over the top. Trying too hard is the phrase often
used in athletics, trying too hard. You also have the

(07:47):
photo which shows her as a Viking fan. That certainly
that right there smells like a rat. I think the
code of conduct, if we as a fan, we all
know the fan code of conduct. You decide as a
child what your favorite team is going to be. It's
a very important life choice. You make that decision normally

(08:07):
around the age of eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, somewhere
in that area. Now, oftentimes you pick the team because
of family reasons, either because your family is a fan
of a team or because you don't like your family,
and so you pick their rival. So that's one way
to do it. Another way to do it would be

(08:29):
logistically that you're a live in a certain city, you're
a fan of a certain team, but that's your team
right the rest of your life. And it's like the
Oklahoma Fight song, which sums up what being a fan is.
And the Oklahoma Fight song is sooner born, sooner bred,
and when I die, I'll be sooner dead. And that's
the way it goes. In this photos of this woman
wearing a Viking jersey around and all that stuff. That's

(08:49):
not a real fan and certainly, if you're a Viking
fan at one point and you become a Charger fan,
you're not gonna act with that much emotion as a
Charger fan. It's like Eddie. Eddie's a fraud too. Eddie's
a Steeler fan, but marriage he goes to Charger games
and he wears the stuff, but he's not a real
Charger fan. He's a Steeler fan, and he didn't act
like that. But maybe if he was on camera and
they put a they said, hey, you're on TV. You

(09:11):
know the little song and dance, Come on the little
tap dance all right now. Secondly, as for the game itself,
the Cowboys not to rehash of the game. They won
a close game, but Jerry Jones his weekly paid radio appearance,
Jerry was very critical of the way the game was played.

(09:32):
He said, I felt it was as disjointed or sloppy
a game as maybe that's a strong word for both sides.
He said he tacked on the both sides thing, and
then later he did damage control because he said he
realized he had said the thing he shouldn't have said,
and that was gonna be the big quote, that it
was a sloppy game and then he said he was

(09:52):
proud of the Cowboys forgetting the wins. He's proud of
his Dallas football team. So what is your reaction to
Jerry Jones though, so calling the Cowboys win sloppy. So
my reaction is it was sloppy. And it is also
a subtle jab at Mike McCarthy. It is a low

(10:14):
key poke to the Pillsbury dough boy coaching the Dallas coveries.
The devil is in the details. Mike McCarthy's team was
lacking punctuality, discipline, don't beat yourself, clock management issues. At
the end of the first half, mental mistakes. It was
shambalic and walk. Dallas won the game, and that is

(10:35):
the ultimate body spray when you win, right, we all
know that when you win. So we like talking about
losers because losers are more fun because it's finger pointing.
When you win, everyone just says, Oh, it doesn't matter,
we won the game. Oh care, who cares? We won
the game? All right? Final point, let's go to Arizona.
We're not gonna talk baseball, gonna talk football. Why Jonathan Gannon,

(10:56):
the coach and air quotes of the Cardinals, he is
very optim byasic that Kyler Murray will return. His return
is imminent. The little guy alligator arms Murray, who is
rehabbing from a torn acl May may that's what he's
the word. It's also a month may appear on the
Practice Fuel soon now. Speaking on his paid radio gig,

(11:17):
Jonathan Gannon said, things are quote trending in the right direction.
So here's the question. The Cardinals suck like we thought
they were gonna suck. Will Kyler Murray's return make things better,
worse or keep them the same?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
So I'll go.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
First on this. This is what's known as a lateral move,
the sideway shuffle. And I'll tell you why. Joshua Dobbs,
while limited not giving the great gifts from the football gods,
Joshua Dobbs has gotten every inch of his ability, the
most of his talents. And Murray he brings a different

(11:58):
set of props. He's not a lead. He's a bad
locker room guy. He's inconsistent on the field that there
are stretches where he's very good. Then when the defense
figures him out for a stretch, he sucks. He's passive, aggressive,
he's got the powdy face, and he is the polar opposite, right,
he's the epitome of the opposite of joshuas Joshua Dobs,

(12:19):
the guy that gets every ounce of his Billity Kyler Murray, No, no, no, no.
And and this is a guy, Murray that failed when
he had pretty good talent around him in Arizona. And
I don't know if you've been paying attention, but those
guys are all gone, right. They have demoed the roster.

(12:39):
They are in the suck business. And so if Murray
does come back, I don't think he'll be back for
like another month. I think they're gonna they're gonna get
there right now, they're one in five the Cardinals. They've
got to get to like one in ten, something along
those lines. Then you bring Murray back because maybe he'll
have that one good game, and you might a game

(13:00):
you're not supposed to win, but two wins doesn't necessarily
kill you. But that's the thing. Murray's return will be
a career expo is what it's gonna be. He will
be showcasing his skills because there is no way on
Gods Green Earth the Cardinals are gonna bring him back.
They're gonna trade him. Trade trade, trade, trade, trade, trad
trad trick, red trid Dray trade's asked, so he will

(13:20):
be auditioning doing a dummy run for the Atlanta Falcons
they don't have a quarterback. The Washington Commanders, they don't
really have a quarterback. The Tennessee Titans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
those teams and a few others that are all horny
to get a quarterback. So Kyler Murray will be out
there performing and should he do well, and he can

(13:40):
convince some team to trade for his massive contract. But Murray,
one way or another, is Gonzo. He's on the auctioning
block after the season. And the Cardinals right now they're
one in five. They're one of five teams that are
one in five. Carolina is the only win this team.
So for now, Carolina would have the number one pick.
Actually that would be the Chicago Bears who have Carolina's pick.

(14:02):
But Arizona they would have the number four pick if
the season ended today, But they're in a neck and
neck race down the stretch. They come to figure out
who's gonna get the first pick. All right, it is
the Ben Malors Show. As we continue on here, If
you'd like to be part speakeasy rules to apply. But

(14:24):
that means you can call up, scream, shout, yell all about.
You just have to be smart enough to figure out
how to find the number. And I think you are
smart enough. I believe in you. I trust in you
that you are smart enough, You're wise enough, you have
the wisdom of life that you can figure out how
to call in. We have operators standing by. We'll take
some calls. I do see some calls on the board,
so we will take a couple of those calls as well.

(14:47):
We'll pay off the teams from last hour. The tush talk,
some hot tush talk. We will get to that also
on X for now until they start charging, and then
we'll go somewhere else. We'll let you, you know, We'll give
you plenty of notice so you can follow us to
wherever we go. We'll bring the partay with us. We're
driving the bus and we're gonna bring you with us

(15:07):
wherever we end up. The highlight of highlights, foot ball follies,
football follies. We'll get to that and a very hip
move indeed, and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
I was just catching up on some of the great
fight videos of Charger fans being dragged by cowboy fans
and being punched in the head. There you're just fan
helping fan, just wonderful being dragged down these stands. It
is the Ben Maler Show as we press on through
the overnight. Here a passionate, spicy hot Mallard monologue. But
the story that many people are still yapping about. This

(16:25):
fan is making the rounds. He's doing media interviews. That's
normally what you do if you're put on television, you
do the round of interviews. So that's what's going on
right now. Justin in Cincinnati said, the Charger fan got
so fired up during the game, you could tell that
she was not a real Charger fan. I cleaned that

(16:46):
up for the radio, Justin, just to you know. Alf
the alien Opiner says, you act as if the women
would sell their fandom from year to year. Nothing to
see here, nothing to see here, he says, you fee
me in Chicago. That's a good old photo. Yapemi says, Hey,
maller a plus with some blueberry pancakes and the hour

(17:06):
two monologue. As a paid content contributor on the show,
it was easy to spot mister NFL shenanigans, so he says.
Shane of the moinesays, so, Ben, you don't like the Astros.
You have any monologues on how you feel about those cheaters?
He says, well, you have to wait till tomorrow. The

(17:30):
Astros actually leader today. The Astros played today, so we'll
have one on tomorrow's show. We'll have that content. You
just wait until it all ends. For the cheating Astros,
we will deliver the haymaker. Rory writes and says, enjoyed
the monologue as usual. The so called diehard Charger fan.

(17:51):
Definitely a plan, he says, fraud a paid performer, he says,
ESPN needs to do anything and everything to compete with
Taylor's swift. That's right, trying to show a normal fan
can attract just as much attention. Let's go to the
phones and we'll say hello to a man that has
many names, but to me, he's a Dad Gummt. Hello,

(18:15):
Dad Gummett. Welcome to the show, Dad Gummt.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
MA, Man, what are you thinking all these hats? A man,
I'm gonna take like five for dollar dollar or something.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
No, no, no, I wish I wish youd get five
for a dollar. These hats are expensive, man, it used
to be cheap. They're very expensive. Now he's had to
like fifty bucks.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Tell me something, man, you know I've got a half
for every day of the year. Man, and you call
up some more cheap looking hats. I need to see
some real hats, bro, Like, what do you talk about?

Speaker 1 (18:40):
These are not cheap looking hats, dumb ass, These these
are these are hats. What's wrong with you? What are you? Moron?

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Come on and you got and you guys at their Man,
you're killing me quick bringing up this stuff about asstros
because Ben's on his keep burner in the ground and
poor Poppy at there man picked their game and more.
The other day, Poppy don't even need to speak.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Well, violated, he violated the code of conduct for the show.
I gave him a pass. I said, listen, Poppy. Poppy said,
you know that was already recorded in the past, right,
And he made it seem he gave the implication, Poppy
that he wouldn't do it again. Well, I got multiple listeners.
Who are my boots on the ground here in the

(19:25):
cyber battlefield. My boots on the ground have told me,
Dad Gummitt that he's he's doing it. He's making these
videos and he's posting it, you know, picking with the
chicken and all that, and so that's fine. He can
do whatever he wants, but we're not doing I'm not
giving him a platform here.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
I would, but I mean, we all know, we all
know that we never and I'm okay you right now.
I'm a fan. I'm a big fan. I like watching
on TV now. I'm a big fan of Penny. I
mean we've been having a Penny for a while.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
You know, you never wanted benny benny versus a penny,
and you have to go to great lengths to watch
Benny very the penny. But it is available. Anybody can
get it on direct TV or Fubo TA.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
I mean, I went down to West Memphis of the day,
like last Saturday, spent like three or four hours, and
got tired of paying the big money. So I started
playing the penny machine. And I'm like, give me a
freaking Louisville slugger because I'm gonna take this machine out.
I mean, why you have a penny machine? Man, I
can't make no money on a penny machine.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
But you know, when no one bets a but nobody
bets a penny, it's not it's it's a penny machine.
But no one's betting a penny. You're betting thirty to
fifty cents a spind.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Which I was up for at least four or five
hundred dollars. Throwing dice. I love the dice now. I
sit around all the time, you know, act like I
got a roll dice. But some of these deffuel machines, man,
they're a penny. Who in the hell what you said?
All day long? And play a penny machine, you know
when you got dollar machines, you got five dollar machines.
I played some of motes, man, But anyway, I.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Don't want to tell you what to do. I know
you like the gamble. I like the gamble too. I
know that you know you're gonna lose. But here's the thing.
The house has the edge. But you have to look
at what games in the casino make the most money.
Right when you look at the casino business, and the
slot machine is by far the biggest revenue generator in

(21:17):
a casino. That yeah, I know, it's not even close.
And those they have those penny penny slots because people
play them and they think, well it's only fifty cents
or thirty cents, but you play enough of those, it
adds up.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah. Like the other day, man, I'll swo thre thtenty times.
I said, get towed out because when you start switching
a deck of cards on me when I'm trying to
play blackjack, don't push the deck cards to me. And
then they come around I'm on the machine, they want
to change your thing over. You're taking my cre you know,
you're taking my stuff away from me because I'm getting
more two three off the back, twelve fifteen people standing
around for the dice, rolling hot and all of a sudden,

(21:53):
we're gonna change and stuff time to night. I'm like,
we gonna change nothing, and that got you, sir. You've
got to calm down. You got to calm down. I'm like, sir,
I'm on a hot street. Grab now. You ain't gonna
change the dice, but being I'm gonna take something right now.
You know you don't do that crap. Man, it's wrong.
You know it's wrong. But anyway, real quick, I'm out here.
One more thing. The Diamondbacks, man, you're sitting there scrapped

(22:15):
the Diamondbacks. Now look at the Dodgers, man, they're taking
a bubble.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
They just lost Wait a minute, hold on a second, dad,
gummt They just lost the game ten nothing, And you
want me to sit here and praise them? What is
wrong with you? You have lost your way? What are you?
What am I supposed to do here? And give them
a massage, a many and a petty. They just lost
a baseball game, ten nothing, ten nothing?

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Right height the worst? Blind Scott, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Probably on the north end of Boston. I don't know where.
Blind Scott is. I have no idea. I'm not his mother.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
What man, that's where your writings go, your colors.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Oh no, that's where you're wrong. All right, I'm hanging
on that bad take. I'm hanging up on you on
that bad take. Listen. People want to call up, they
can call it. We take the calls, and that's it.
I don't I don't think it matters. It's I like
when we have different characters to call in. But if people,
for whatever reason, they don't want to stay on hold
or whatever, they can't figure out the number that's on them.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
So I think the dealers at the casinos that he
plays at just want.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
To at the table. You just like, listen, dude, I'm
not making a lot of money and and you're you know,
I'm just trying to get through the shift, Okay. I
just want to get this thing done. I got a family.
I want to I don't care, you know, I don't
care about your free spins or anything like that. I mean,

(23:38):
just leave me alone, you know, just to go to
the other casino down the road and uh and leave
me alone anyway, all right. The Bad News Bears football follies,
We've got that little tush talk pushed back again and
mallard of the third degree. But right now, let's get
you caught up on everything going on in the over
night and we sallo to steamboat Willie Eddie Garcia.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
All right, I was out a few days last week,
so I just want to clear up this, uh, this
chicken thing. So I knew that there was a We
had a caller calling an offer to use his chicken.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yes, take on Poppy. Yes.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
So in the meantime, Poppy went out and got his
own chicken to do, to do his own bit with
a chicken.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yes, Poppy has acquired I believe these are these are
Mason the Millennials chickens. He's in the chicken business. So
he got the poppy cock. Uh that is really the poppycock.
That's what we should have called the bit. Yeah, so
he acquired his own chickens and he's now doing picking

(24:48):
with the chicken on social media, which I'm fine with,
but we don't need to do it. I would have
done it on the radio, but we don't need to
do it now because he's he's big enough, he doesn't
need our help.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
So that's so he was unsett fined with your chicken
and so he got his own chicken.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Well he beat Abigail with the chicken. But I stand
with Abigail the chicken. That's a good bird, Eddie. I
stand with the I'm doing the chicken dance right now.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
Well, I mean, I'm not sure how good that bird is.
If that bird lost to Poppy though, it's not I
don't know about that.

Speaker 6 (25:18):
Went they on the then they both picked the cowboys.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
What was it, bird bring? Yeah, the chicken did pick
the cowboys. So they did both pick the cowboys.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
See, Poppy should have let this, uh you know, evolve organically.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Here.

Speaker 7 (25:29):
He went out and he tried to It's like someone's
selling a type of hot dog on one side of town.
He went out, and he's like, I'm gonna do that too.
I'm gonna steal their recipe, all right, and look what happened.
Got canceled.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
That's fine, I mean, pop anything it canceled. He's still
doing his own bit there, and he's apparently he's going
very well for him.

Speaker 7 (25:45):
But we can sniff the knockoff the counterfeit, yeah, exactly,
all right, all right, just needed to clear up this chicken.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Now, if somebody else wants to pick against the Abigail the chicken.
I'm open to that. I like the bit. I just
don't want Poppy involved in it because he's got his
own chicken.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
Okay, we should find how about this we should second thought,
I'm sorry, I asked we.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Should find a woman named Abigail and then we can
have Abigail versus Abigail.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
Okay, thank you for that idea. That's wonderful, lady. Let's
get to some postseason baseball. Game two National League Championship Series,
all Philadelphia Phillies dominate the Diamondbacks ten to nothing. Aaron
Nola on the mound for the Phils, six shot out, Ennings,
no runs, three at seven strikeouts, he and three. There
was combining on the four hit shutout. A trade turner
solo homer in the first inning was enough offense, but

(26:34):
it scored some more runs as well, Kyle Schwarber hitting
a couple of home runs solo shots in the third
and sixth inning as well. Philadelphia. That leads a series
two games to nothing. There's six to zero at home
this postseason. Now the series ships to Arizona for at
least games three and four, in a game five if
if necessary. NFL News Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence sins he's
optimistic while playing Thursday night in New Orleans after suffering

(26:55):
an east brain on Sunday. Results of an MRI on
the oblique rib injury forty Ninets star writing by Christian
McAffrey reportedly showed that he has avoided a long term injury,
and he reportedly has a chance to play Monday night
in Minnesota. That seems doubtful, though. Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill
will not need surgery for his ankle injury. He is,
though in a cast, diagnosed with the high ankle sprain.

(27:16):
No definitive timetable for his recovery, but obviously it's going
to be out for a while. Philadelphia Eagles signed veteran
wide receiver Julio Jones to a one year deal a
couple NHL games. A note. It was a rematch last
season's Western Conference Final. Golden Knights beat these Stars three
to two in a shootout. The the defenning Stanley Cup
champs now off to a four to zero start this year.
Avalanche of three to zero after a four to one
went over the crack in that one. Also a rematch

(27:38):
of a playoff series from last year. This from college football.
I don't know if you saw this or not, Ben,
but South Carolina head football coach Shane Beemer recovering from
a broken foot. He suffered the broken foot when he
kicked something after a loss to Florida. We've seen this occasionally,

(28:01):
uh baseball players seems like, you know, they go down
the tunnel upset because they gave up home or some punch.
What do you think he kicked, by the way, any
idea what Shane Biemer may have kicked to break his foot.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
I think that Shane Biemer he kicked South Carolina, that's correct.
I think he kicked the cock eddie a game cock, all.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
Right, wasn't true. I don't know what he kicked. It's
it's a mystery. They have not revealed what he kicked.
I guess he was something.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Possible, and he could have kicked the cock, right.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
I don't know that you would have broken your foot
on that we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Earlier about maybe maybe it's like a metal uh version
of the the game cock.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
You know, it's it's a very interesting theory, A hard
solid yeah, yeah, okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
I actually own a a game cock hat that Robbie
the Mariner fans A big fan of it, says it says,
go Cox, South Carolina.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
Jonas knocks a big Cock fan as well.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
For what I us Knox Cock. But he's a big
fan of the Cox than me. Yeah, but he worked
in South Carolina.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
I did.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
My niece goes to school in South Carolina, but I've
never never worked there at the at USC.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
The other USC.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
No, I know.

Speaker 6 (29:35):
That's what I'm saying. Does she go to your niece
go to us?

Speaker 1 (29:37):
She's not going. She goes to a school in Charleston.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
Ah, Charleston, College of Charleston.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Fine, fine location right there, Charleston, is it?

Speaker 6 (29:49):
College of Charleston.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Would you like to you know, I can give out
her number you want to call her?

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Good news. We'd like to alert all the affiliates down
the line that cowboy Drew right now playing farming Simulator
twenty two and we are the background music for Drew.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
He is a farming simulator. Yes, I say, you know
about this.

Speaker 7 (30:16):
His head's in the right place. He's getting ready for
the io A minute in one hour and seven minutes. Oh,
I see what you did there I was And the
io minute will last an hour and seven minutes. So
let's start right now.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Now, I've never seen farming simulator twenty two, but I
get to tell.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
You I've heard of a flight simulation.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
This looks pretty cool. Actually, I gonna tell you you
got to really be into farming. But I see a tractor.

Speaker 6 (30:37):
There sitting in the combine.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Is this solid?

Speaker 4 (30:40):
My god?

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Have you ever played this game? Iowa Sam.

Speaker 6 (30:43):
I have not, but I imagine that you have a No,
I haven't.

Speaker 7 (30:47):
Graphics are really good, I'm sure, because you know, the
combine is probably moving at like four miles an hour,
and you're inside, and it's a it's a perspective, it's
a first person perspective.

Speaker 6 (30:58):
You're looking out at your Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
I see a lot of trees off in the distance there,
but then it's got the barn. There's a tractor. It
looks like they're planting something. There's something growing in front
of the barn. Driven. Yeah, all right, well, thank you
for that. I'm glad you're listening. Drive. We'd like to say,
you know, we don't do shoutouts, but if we did,
we'd certainly. We think many people. I think we have

(31:21):
more people listening to us live playing video games than
anything else. I mean that that making donuts or working
security job where you're trying to stay awake. But anyway,

dot Com, let's go to the phones and we'll say
hello to a supermarket Steve in southern California. Hello supermarket Steve.

Speaker 8 (31:55):
Hey, Ben, I had a comment about your last monologue.
I did not know anything about her employment statthing like that.
But I actually married. You met my wife. I actually
married into the Asians family, and they really cannot show
their emotions correctly because they're taught for a very young
age to hold it all in. So I kind of
actually believe that this woman was going crazy because when

(32:15):
I first sat there and watched sports with my mother
in law for the first time, she was going absolutely
crazy because she had no idea that halftime was going
half the game and there was actually another half. So
I just kind of believe that this woman was living
and dying by every prey.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Now supermarkets, Steve, take a breath. I feel like you're
running a marathon everything. Okay, you all right.

Speaker 8 (32:36):
I got a lot of work going on right now.
I didn't actually know you're go to me right now.
Oh okay, sorry about that.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
No, I understand him. I'm worried about it.

Speaker 6 (32:43):
Deliver milk.

Speaker 8 (32:45):
No, No, I'm all good at that. I'm not going
to have a heart attack like Cardiac's family. I'm not
that excitingly, so.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
He didn't say he was going to have a heart
attack when he called in. He had just had an art. Yeah.
So you you think that this is all you're You're
you're buying the whole story. There's no funny business going Yeah.

Speaker 8 (33:03):
Actually it's funny because I actually kind of believed that
that she was living in dying every single play, just
because they a lot of times they like like when
I first watched my mother in law, I just thought
it was hilarious to see the look on her face
every time someone got hit or every time someone made
a run that was big, because she thought that was
the game, or there was like a final score they
actually had to get to. She had no idea.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Okay, but I get that when you first when you
first watch football, but for a number of years, so yeah.

Speaker 8 (33:32):
I didn't know any of our employment status until you
explained it to me. But when I first saw her
reacting like that, I just let you know. Most Asian
people can't control their emotions correctly, especially when they're actually
growing up.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
With a broad brush there, but thank you for that
broad brush. All right, there, go back to supermarket, Seve,
you go back to work. So the bad news Bears,
this is tremendous. H. What a great highlight. So there's
a highlight bouncing around to the Bears game this weekend
against the Vikings and hand God here, hand to God,
one of the Chicago Bears offensive linemen ended up blocking

(34:05):
another one of the Chicago Bears offensive lineman. This is
just outstanding. It's more of a visual thing than an
audio thing. But number sixty five for the Chicago Bears
there while getting confused on a blocking excitement that ended
up blocking his teammate. It was outstanding. And I wish

(34:27):
they still had those football follies. Football follies and bloopers
and practical jokes and all that just they're just absolutely wonderful.
So they snapped at the center of the Bear snaps
the ball. He's looking for someone to block, so he's
kind of shuffling, and then he ends up blocking the guard,
the guy that was next to him, number sixty nine
for the Chicago Bears. He ends up blocking that guy.

(34:50):
It's just great. Hey, coach told you get hands on somebody.
You gotta block somebody. Okay, I'll get hands on. I'll
block somebody, Coach. I will do it. I will block someone. Yes.
I Oh, we're gonna have Mallor to the third degree.
Mallard to the third degree. Here's the instad trivia. The
instat trivia. Here it is the Steelers quarterback Kenny Peckett

(35:13):
and Blank are tied for the NFL lead with a

Speaker 1 (36:29):
We have Maller to the third degree warming up right

Arizona diamondback pitcher in Mallard of the third degree. But
time now for the insta trivia blatant attempt to get
you to listen a little bit longer. It appears to
have worked. Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett. Yeah, for you guys.
Do you guys playing the farming simulation video games? Kenny

(36:52):
Pickett's a quarterback for the Steelers, and Kenny Pickett and
Blank are tied for the NFL lead with a twenty
two point set seven percent bad throw rate here in
the year twenty twenty three. That is the insta trivia.
What is the answer? Let's see does anyone know the answer?
That sent a message in on the X machine. A

(37:14):
lot of people excited about the Dad Gummt nickname the
Casey Carr Haller. I saw that excited about the new
name for our caller formerly known as Sir scratch Off
Kate says. Russell Wilson is the answer. A week in
Minnesota says Joe Burrow called him by a different name.
Seneca Wallace, the legend from Fields of Green. Gordon Freeman

(37:37):
from Fergcat that's his answer. Ken O'Brien from our friend
alf the a io Piner in Springfield, mass Aubrey Huff
from Sean in Portland, Kyler Murray from Orange and Blue
Blood Brett there's a good photo of him page down.
Jimmy Jimmy j from Raider Freak, that's his answer. Eddie

(38:01):
do you have an answer.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
I'm sure it's Matthew Stafford, who's going to lose the
Kenny Pickett over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
With the Steelers so disappointed walking out of that stadium.
The correct answer none other Eddie than your guy from
the Houston Texans, c J strouds J. Strouse.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
Here we go?

Speaker 1 (38:29):
How about that?

Speaker 6 (38:35):
Here we go?

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Cool?

Speaker 5 (38:37):
It's being reported by Pat McAfee that the Broncos could
be making a change a defensive coordinator and that Rex
Ryan is in the mix. Ben, Could you see that
change being made before the season is over?

Speaker 1 (38:48):
No, because the Broncos have already been eliminated, and that
would be Sean Tate admitting hey, I've I've failed. Plus
the other thing is you hire Rex Ryan. It's not
like the Broncos are gonna be any good on d
because he's he's got bad players. You got to get
some better players in there. So it's a it's a
no win situation. You're gonna hire Res. At least you'll
get him off TV and save us from Washington on TV.

(39:10):
But it doesn't make a lot of sense of you Lebroncos.
Now at the end of the year, it makes it
makes sense but not now.

Speaker 7 (39:14):
Next, Klay Thompson is in the final season of his
contract with the Warriors, and according to a report from WOOJ,
the team isn't anywhere close to making an extension. Happen, Ben,
Do you think this season is it for Clay and
the Bay No?

Speaker 1 (39:26):
I don't believe the Warriors ownership is married to this era.
It's a great year. They don't want to let the
glory days go away. I understand it's great blah blah
blah blah blah, but they're gonna hold on to all
those guys until they're completely washed up and they need wheelchairs.
Klay Thompsons, Draymond Green and Steph Curry. Those guys are
gonna be there until they're done. I don't see them

(39:47):
going anywhere else. And plus, Clay's got a spotty resume.
Since he got hurt, he hasn't been the most consistent guy.

Speaker 5 (39:52):
Next, the Browns defense is off to and historic start,
a historic start, allowing only one thousand and two yards
to five games.

Speaker 6 (40:01):
Do you think the defense is good enough to keep
the Browns in the mix all season?

Speaker 1 (40:04):
Well, it's not gonna lead them anywhere like It's sorts
of a winning inn AFC Championship. But they can make
the playoffs with the defense they you know, I'm still
not convinced it's sustainable all year, but Jim Schwartz made
a Schwartz be with you defensive coordinator with Miles Garrett,
they've done a great job. How do we know you
pass this vision?

Speaker 2 (40:21):
That is a win.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
You can put it on the bar. Yeah, I won
the game. I won Iowa, Sam, congrats, thank you.
