Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb burfall and Chucky Boy
is at the door. Turns out that John Gruden has
been blocked blocked from suing the NFL. Hey court in
Nevada went against Gruden. What are your thoughts on that? Also,
Aaron Rodgers claims he's seriously considered the VP spot from
(00:24):
RFK Junior. Do you believe him? And the Jags? That's
an NFL team in Florida. The Jags have agreed to
a deal that will keep them in Jacksonville for thirty years.
What does that tell us? We'll go there as well.
All of it's coming your way right now here. It
is Buckle up, buccaroo, it's our number three. Watch out

This hour, coming from a courtroom near you, if you
happen to live in the state of Nevada, we have
new developments on a high profile lawsuit against the NFL.
Now involves a beloved coach who was burned an effigy
(02:13):
for some emails. There was an email dump. You might
remember the story a couple of years ago, a surgical
email assassination. It has been called of none other than
John Gruden. So, if you haven't been following along, we've
given various updates over the last couple of years on
this John Gruden story. We've learned now big one, big one,
(02:34):
a big humdinger of an update. So the Nevada Supreme Court,
the highest court in that state, has cited with the NFL,
but more importantly against former Raiders coach John Gruden, reversing
a lower court's decision that had denied the NFL's motion
(02:57):
to send John Gruden's complaint into its arbitration process. So
what does this mean in layman's terms, I'll explain it.
I'll explain it to you like you're five years old. So,
unless John Gruden can appeal somewhere else, which he's going
to try to do, unless he can successfully appeal, turn
(03:22):
out the lots the parties over. For John Gruden's case,
this goes back to twenty twenty one, the lawsuit in
which his legal team said that he was forced to resign.
I don't know anyone that disagree with that that John
Gruden was forced to resign. You might remember that scandal
came out Gruden coached another game, if I remember correctly,
(03:43):
it was against the Chicago Bears, and then it was
after that game a second wave of email was dump
because the NFL wanted to make sure that John Gruden
was assassinated as coach of the Raiders. The first dump
did not work, so they had to dump some more
emails later on. That's the way I interpret the story.
(04:03):
So unless something changes at a higher court, that's it.
John Gruden will not move forward in the public theater,
which means this will fall into the arbitration process, the
NFL's beloved arbitration. So let us discuss the question John
Gruden being stonewalled from suing the NFL. What is your
(04:27):
take on this? So my take on this, I've got
the palm, chess piece, and pigs in a blanket, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make the dump button, which I have
right next to me. I don't use this very often.
I usually let Lorena use the dump button, but I
do have a dump button in here for emergency situations,
(04:49):
like a It's like a game show from the nineteen eighties.
You just boom. Is really cool, all right, So first
of all, to just get right to the the meat
of the matter. We are not surprised. We've been saying
all along that even though it was looking good for
John Gruden, the NFL's play on this has always been
(05:10):
we'll just keep appealing to a higher court, and we
have friends in low places on high courts, so we'll
just keep going and going and going, and we'll play
the long game, not the short game. Now, speaking of that,
you get the micro and the macro on this, John
Gruden story in the short term, which is the micro.
John Gruden, as we mentioned, he had scored some early
(05:32):
victories in this and it looked good and he found
a sympathetic judge and that seemed pretty cool. However, in
the macro, John Gruden has a better chance of moving
to Russia, becoming a citizen of Russia, Mother Russia, and
beating Vladimir Putin in a presidential election. He's got a
(05:53):
better chance of that happening at this point that beating
the Raiders and beating the NFL, really, which is who
he's going after, the NFL. I mean, that's just the
way it is. And here's why. The NFL. In every
single contract, every single contract the NFL, if you don't
know how this works, they put a poison pill in
(06:18):
the contract. Now, it's only a poison pill for the employee.
It's not a poison pill for the the NFL or
the team that is hiring, the members of the cartel
that are hiring people the work in the NFL and
the proviso. The poison pill. Garantees. Garantees that if you
(06:38):
have any kind of a beef with the NFL, you
feel like you were wrong. There was something that was
done untrt to you. The NFL will decide they will
go to arbitration and Roger Goodell or one of his
buddies will adjudicate the matter. Now, the NFL in the
language because the lawyers want this in there because it
(06:58):
helps their case when these cases go to court and
people sue and say that's not fair, the NFL says,
at the behest of Roger El, so it is possible
he can hire someone else to adjudicate the case. But ultimately,
whoever they put in there, the NFL is paid by
the NFL to decide the matters. And I go back
(07:20):
to the theory, and I'm not the first one that
came up with this. This is akin to having a
criminal case. It's not a criminal case, but the alleged
perpetrator gets to decide whether or not they're guilty or not.
That's essentially what the NFL's got in every one of
these contracts. John Gruden says, hey, I got screwed over here.
(07:42):
I'm getting the short end of the stick and I
would like to get my money. I want to sue you,
And the NFL is like, well, let's decide whether or
not we screwed you. Let's decide that. And it's a
great line that John Gruden's emails they were handpicked for
public ritic, right, and how do you like them apples? Now?
(08:02):
Brent Musburger, you're looking live. Brent Musburger said it past
as the Voice of the Raiders. He said that what
happened to John Gruden was a professional hit job by
a paid assassin. They didn't go the usual to the
unusual media goombas. According to Musburger, that's his famous quote,
knock on wood if you're with me. And it is
(08:23):
true that normally when stuff gets leaked, it goes to
like Adam Schefter or somebody like to add or the
state sponsored NFL media. In the John Gruden story, the
stuff that was leaked went to two people, mainly the
Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. The Wall
Street Journal and the New York Times, they were the
ones that got the dirt. Now, we would be shocked
(08:43):
if some NFL big wig in this latest turn in
the story did not have a nice meal at the palm.
Not that kind of pom, but the greasing of the
pom or go, would you like to have a nice skybox?
A upcoming game of your choosing. Would you like to
go to the super Bowl in New Orleans in early
(09:04):
twenty twenty five? Old fashioned bribery. Old fashioned bribery in play.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
The key to me with Gruden is and this is
why Gruden, I think, is really getting the rye into
the deal on this particular story is unlike almost all
of the other examples of this happening where somebody tries
to take down somebody else, we have not seen the
dog pile. Unless I missed it. Maybe I did. You
(09:33):
can correct me on that. But typically when someone has
an allegation against them, there is a conga line of
people lined up to play the victim card and say, Oh,
this guy's such a schmuck, such a loser, such a dingleberry.
Wait till you hear what they did to me trying
to one off each other. I didn't since that with
(09:55):
John Gruden. I didn't get that. Normally you get five
hundred and forty eight stories people saying that John Gruden
is this ism and that ism and this other ism
and all that. But didn't get that, didn't see a
second wave of people who were running out to yell
at cameras or on social media to get cloud. I
didn't see it all right. Now. Secondly, we turned to
(10:18):
politics of all things. In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson,
Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rogers. Aaron Rodgers gave his reaction. I
know you're dying to hear his reaction to Robert F.
Kennedy making a pitch for Rogers. Remember that we talked
(10:39):
about this, got a monologue out of it, thank god,
before the story went away that Rogers was in the
running to be the vice presidential candidate on the ticket,
the independent ticket for the twenty twenty four election, which
is coming up this November. Vote early and vote often.
So Aaron Rodgers said there was a time when he
truly entertained the thought of this. Okay, Then Rogers claims
(11:04):
he seriously considered the VP spot from RFK JR. Do
you believe Aaron Rodgers? Do you believe Aaron Rodgers on this?
So I'll go first. I am agnostic. I'm a skeptic
on this one, and I had an epiphany. I had
(11:26):
epiphany on this story. And I like to share my
epiphany because I know you're dying to hear my epiphany.
So here's my epiphany on the Aaron Rogers vice presidential story.
Rogers name was floated to a bunch of media outfits.
We know that a bunch of people reported the story,
but they were looking if you look back at what
(11:48):
they were doing, what the RFK Junior thing was doing
the campaign. What they were doing here was they were
using Aaron Rodgers like you would use a on in chess.
He was a pawn in the political game for free
media coverage. It's very expensive to buy commercials on television
(12:09):
and radio, and even the internet's not cheap on sites
people actually visit, so it's expensive. So what's a way
to generate free publicity? Say that Aaron Rodgers might be
my vice presidential candidate. Dopes like me eat that up.
It's great content, great engagement. We love it. Guess what,
(12:29):
it worked right? We did it. And it turns out
that RFK Junior what with someone named Nicole Shanahan. I
don't know who that is, but she's some big shot
in northern California in the tech world, and so she's
the running mate. And do I think that Aaron Rodgers
in his head thought that he would be the vice president? Yes?
(12:50):
I do. Do I think he was actually seriously being
considered for the vice president's vice presidential position. No, I
don't all right, final thought, we had to floor. Now
I read that the Jaguars. The Jaguars and the city
of Jacksonville have agreed to a one point four billion
dollar renovation project of the stadium there ever Bank Stadium.
(13:15):
The key part of this is a thirty year least
thirty years. That's a generation and a half that the
team will have to commit to stay in that city.
The question the Jacks they have a tentative agreement if
this goes through, and it looks like it will go through,
that will keep the NFL franchise in Jacksonville for the
(13:37):
long haul. What does that tell us? What does that do?
So this is first My first thing is this is
a sweetheart deal? Man? Is this a sweetheart deal? Because
if you look at the fine print, the taxpayers in
Jacksonville and in that part of Florida will be giving
six hundred and fifty million dollars of public money, your
hard earned dollars and cents to subsidize an NFL team
(14:01):
that doesn't even play all of their eight or nine
home games a year, depending of it's seventeen seventeen, you
get the extra home game or not. They don't even
play all their games in Jacksonville, right, They've been going
over to Europe playing games over there for years. Talk
about being a sucker. And when you take a couple
of steps back and you look at the wide angle
(14:23):
lens on this this story with Jacksonville, to me, it's
a dead giveaway. It's a dead giveaway that the NFL
product is not selling the way they thought it was
gonna sell in the UK. Now, Terry in England and
some other guys that listened to us abroad can correct
me if I'm wrong on this. But the NFL, I
(14:45):
was told by somebody that works in the NFL years
ago that the plan was, you know, you use Jacksonville
and you're gonna they're gonna play them for years, and
they're gonna add some other games. But ultimately the goal
was to move a team, Jacksonville being that team to London.
I'm going to go across the Atlantic to London and
put the Jags in there. And so the fact that
(15:07):
they're going to agree to this deal, assuming depending on
the loopholes, we don't know the fine print on this,
but assuming there's not any real loopholes in there that
could get out of the deal. The NFL will continue
to be pigs in the blanket. Pigs in a blanket,
they're on the appetizer menu in London, They're not the
(15:28):
main course. Now. I have heard that the players Union
was upset with the idea of having the forced players
that are drafted out of college to move to London
and established veteran players. And to that I laugh when
somebody told me that, because I said, when has the
NFL ever done anything looking out for the players. They
don't give a crap about the players. Whether they have
(15:49):
to live in London or not, it doesn't matter to them.
So that's where we are right. You can change my
mind if you want, but that's where I am. It
is the ban Mael or shel if you'd like to
be part, who can join us here. The Knickerbocker's got
to blow out winning their playoff game in the NBA.

former number one overall picked last year, Pirate's rookie pitcher
Paul Skins says he eats chicken alfredo for every start.

Loves it, you big chicken Alfredo guy. Sure, I like
the Alfredo. You know what I like? I like to
combine the best of too words. I like chicken parm
and then a side of our fredo. I don't need

the chicken parm. Wow, that's a veteran move. Does anyone
(22:07):
disagree with that? No, no disagreement.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I've never had it, but I wouldn't mind.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
I kind of disagree with it. Oh, I would try it.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
No, it's good. It's simple. You get the best of
both words. I'm not saying that it's not good.
Speaker 4 (22:20):

a cheap dinner my mom would make. So I eat
a lot of spaghetti, fish sticks, a lot of that.
I don't like fish or spaghetti. I hate tun of sandwiches.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Ben, have you mentioned uh Kirk Cousins who mentioned the
Kirk Cousins story yet in this.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
No, because I think he's lying, So I didn't really.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
All right, well, we'll just bring it up just in
passing that. Kirk Cousins, the new Atlanta Falcons quarterback, was
on a podcast.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
He was Jock Talks Eddie. It was hot jock talking
jocks all John.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
I asked him about, you know, the Falcons going out
and getting Michael Pennix junior. Of course, with the eighth
pick in the draft, and all the hubbub over that
and asked him, would he would he have signed with
the Falcons had he known that they were going to
draft a quarterback so high, And he said that it
is not helpful to have hard feelings about what the
Falcons did. And he said he does not deal with hypotheticals,
(26:36):
so he basically would not answer the question on whether
he would have signed with the Falcons had he known
that they were going to select the quarterback. So there
you go, Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
And you can see his nose growing. Even Inka Terror
could see the man's nose growing as that was going on.
And hey, thoroughbred racing. We love thoroughbred racing. They have
had new independent regulator HAISA that is implementing comprehensive reforms
and the sport is combining hands on care with cutting
edge technology to help keep its athletes safe. To learn more,
is it safety runs first? Dot Com? That safety runs
(27:07):
first dot Com?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
It's another Benmellard game. We've endored too many of these easy, too.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Much or not enough enough? Already, Lets play the game
right now. We welcome in our intestint from Lost Wages Nevada.
We say hello to Slug. What's Upboddy, everybuddy, what's going on? Buddy?
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Let's make this meetup happen in Vegas here?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
All right, Well, we're gonna try to make it happen.
We'll wait till it's like one hundred and seventy in
Vegas and then we'll go hang out with you.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
Okay, Hey, it'll be the best and best at all time.
Trust me, I'll put it together.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
You let me know.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
I got plenty of people that I know on bars, restaurants, whatever,
we can make it happen.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
All right, We'll talk to Koop, we'll figure out a
date that works for everybody, and we'll go like on
a I think a Friday night would be probably the
most fun.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Then we have off Fridays so it works.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Okay, Well, let's play the game here. Good luck to you, Slug.
I'll ask you a series of questions. All you have
to do is answer too much or not enough. If
you get three right, you win the game. Get all
five right, I'll give you two golden tickets. But if
you get three right, you get one golden ticket. Here
we go. Jalen Brunson has scored twenty or more points
in each of his twenty one playoff games with the Knickerbockers.
(28:22):
Is that he is the fourth player, fourth player ever
to have at least twenty straight twenty point playoff games
to begin a career with a team of the NBA.
Is that too much or not enough? Not enough? Slug?
That's incorrect that I believe it or not. It's too much.
(28:43):
He's only the second player to do so, joining Kareem
Abdul Jabbar with the skyhooks. So you're zero for one.
You can't get all five right, but you can still
get three right. Question number two. The Edmonton Oilers have
scored twenty five power play goals in their last twenty
playoff games. Is that too much or not enough? I
know you're big hockey guy, slug in Vegas?
Speaker 6 (29:03):
That was a game five last year we won the Cup.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
So I'm gonna say too much?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Too much?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
All right?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Let's fin is he right?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Is it like I missed all of them?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah? Megan, if you get all five of them wrong,
I'll give you a golden ticket.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Okay, not enough? They have scored thirty one power play goals.
They mean the Edmonton hockey team over the last twenty
playoff games, the most in that span since the Minnesota
North Stars in nineteen ninety one. Holy Dino Ciccarelli batman.
Question number three, Here we go, fer Nando to tease.
(29:42):
Junior now has one hundred and fourteen career home runs.
His father had one hundred and fifty over his eleven
year career. Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 6 (29:54):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
That's fine? Oh, he got one right. Look at that
as a ma The answer. I saw Fernando Tatis's father
there hit two grand slams in the same inning against
Chanho Park. I remember that I was at that game
at Dodger Stadium years ago. That'll never happen again, not
in my lifetime, probably not in your lifetime or your kids,
(30:17):
your grandkids are any The answer is too much. Fernando
Tatis Senior had one hundred and thirteen career home runs.
Question number four. I get these last two right to
win the game. It took Luke Doncik thirty five playoff
games to reach a thousand career points. That's it. In
the postseason. Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Let's find out that's right? Oh, my god, plus coming
back too much he did in thirty two games. It
comes down to this, are you ready slug it as
overbea okay, here we go. The Rockies are the third
team in Major League Baseball history to win six straight
games after not winning even two consecutive games all season
(31:03):
prior to that? Is that too much or not enough?
For the win? Too much? Are you sure about that?
Let's find out that is a winner. Slug has come
all the way back. He's climbed down on the sewer
and into the penthouse. The answer to the Rockies lead
(31:26):
second team to do show, but really to the first team,
because the other team to do it was the Indianapolis
Hoosiers in eighteen eighty nine. Apparently that was a baseball
team back in the day. So congratulations, Slug. You get
a golden take it. You get a golden take it.
You get a golden take it. You gotta golden for me.
A glorious day. Okay, I'm gonna hang up on you
now though I love you. I love you too. Thank you.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
How are we doing?
Speaker 4 (34:41):
We are fantastic on yourself.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
I am doing great this morning. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
I forget this morning.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
Okay. So my question is what is your opinion on
how household duty should be split up in a marriage
in terms of cleaning and cooking and things.
Speaker 7 (35:00):
Well, I personally, I think it should be more than
just fifty to fifty, right, Like, if you know your
person's really busy and hasn't had time to catch up
with themselves, you should go above and beyond fifty fifty.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Well, you know, like Justin and Cincinnati, by the way,
says the woman should do all of it. That's what
he just rode in.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
I mean if oh, yeah, no, I expect to also,
you know, have my partner take care of himself. I
do not expect to clean up after them at all,
unless I want to really clean after them.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Why not? What if they're really good, but they're just pigs,
you know.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
No, if we both work, then we both need to
clean I used to work.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
With a guy that really good guy, but he's just
never cleaned up at himself. This guy used to work here,
in fact, in the A lot of trash you leave
around food, you know.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, his name is his name rhyme with Tom Looney.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I forget, you know, I forget, you know. I don't
know what happened to him.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I used to follow him as the update guy, and
I yeaeah.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
I wonder if his wife passed the clean up after him.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
The worst, the worst is the seafood. Calm down over there,
all right? Not all right, you guarantee you thank you?
All right, Kelly, here's a question from Art Puffin where
I said very but you know, it's a real big
question Art Puffin. He says, Lorena, are you familiar with
the door test? What is the door test.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
You know that the door test? No, I'm not. Does
he explain it in there?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
He does not.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Okay, well, you're gonna have to let us know, art,
because I want to know what the door test is.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
I believe it's from the movie A Bronx Tale.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Yeah, I don't. I don't anyone know anyone, No, says
the door test is a dating test that involves opening
the car door for a date and waiting for her
to unlock it for you.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
Oh okay, Oh, oh, well you know, I think you
should get the door for her.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
I feel like the doors is naturally unlocked.

Be large in other ways, though, you never know. No

you're uh, let's you can't read that. Let's take well,
let me take another call when we take Yeah, let's
do it. Ay the comic Guy, Andy the Comic book Guy. Hello,
Andy the comic book Guy.
Speaker 8 (37:29):
Oh, hello, hello Lorraine. Hell, thank you for taking my question.
So I am getting married? Uh next summer?
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Congratulations?
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Oh Mike, are we are we invited the wedding?
Speaker 8 (37:43):
Actually you are prectively on our first trap of the list.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Yes, all right, and there is a lot of static
on your line. I don't know what at.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
First that she's invited, but because I've met you. But anyway,
my question is this, So I'm getting there, I'm I've
lived in La feteen years, but I'm getting married back
in my hometown of Buffalo, and we are inviting a
lot of people. I'm inviting this one man who is
incredibly handsome, and I'm just a little worried you might

the weird thing is is but this man is actually

Speaker 2 (38:29):
All that.

It's a troll phone call.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
I was gonna say, well, might as well just have.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Him married anyway, Okay, he is.
Speaker 7 (38:42):
That's funny, that's hilarious. What a scenario to imagine in
my head.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
That was crazy.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I didn't love it. I did not enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
You should love things more often than
Hello and welcome. It's our numb burfall and Chucky Boy
is at the door. Turns out that John Gruden has
been blocked blocked from suing the NFL. Hey court in
Nevada went against Gruden. What are your thoughts on that? Also,
Aaron Rodgers claims he's seriously considered the VP spot from
(00:24):
RFK Junior. Do you believe him? And the Jags? That's
an NFL team in Florida. The Jags have agreed to
a deal that will keep them in Jacksonville for thirty years.
What does that tell us? We'll go there as well.

This hour, coming from a courtroom near you, if you
happen to live in the state of Nevada, we have
new developments on a high profile lawsuit against the NFL.
Now involves a beloved coach who was burned an effigy
(02:13):
for some emails. There was an email dump. You might
remember the story a couple of years ago, a surgical
email assassination. It has been called of none other than
John Gruden. So, if you haven't been following along, we've
given various updates over the last couple of years on
this John Gruden story. We've learned now big one, big one,
(02:34):
a big humdinger of an update. So the Nevada Supreme Court,
the highest court in that state, has cited with the NFL,
but more importantly against former Raiders coach John Gruden, reversing
a lower court's decision that had denied the NFL's motion
(02:57):
to send John Gruden's complaint into its arbitration process. So
what does this mean in layman's terms, I'll explain it.
I'll explain it to you like you're five years old. So,
unless John Gruden can appeal somewhere else, which he's going
to try to do, unless he can successfully appeal, turn
(03:22):
out the lots the parties over. For John Gruden's case,
this goes back to twenty twenty one, the lawsuit in
which his legal team said that he was forced to resign.
I don't know anyone that disagree with that that John
Gruden was forced to resign. You might remember that scandal
came out Gruden coached another game, if I remember correctly,
(03:43):
it was against the Chicago Bears, and then it was
after that game a second wave of email was dump
because the NFL wanted to make sure that John Gruden
was assassinated as coach of the Raiders. The first dump
did not work, so they had to dump some more
emails later on. That's the way I interpret the story.
(04:03):
So unless something changes at a higher court, that's it.
John Gruden will not move forward in the public theater,
which means this will fall into the arbitration process, the
NFL's beloved arbitration. So let us discuss the question John
Gruden being stonewalled from suing the NFL. What is your
(04:27):
take on this? So my take on this, I've got
the palm, chess piece, and pigs in a blanket, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make the dump button, which I have
right next to me. I don't use this very often.
I usually let Lorena use the dump button, but I
do have a dump button in here for emergency situations,
(04:49):
like a It's like a game show from the nineteen eighties.
You just boom. Is really cool, all right, So first
of all, to just get right to the the meat
of the matter. We are not surprised. We've been saying
all along that even though it was looking good for
John Gruden, the NFL's play on this has always been
(05:10):
we'll just keep appealing to a higher court, and we
have friends in low places on high courts, so we'll
just keep going and going and going, and we'll play
the long game, not the short game. Now, speaking of that,
you get the micro and the macro on this, John
Gruden story in the short term, which is the micro.
John Gruden, as we mentioned, he had scored some early
(05:32):
victories in this and it looked good and he found
a sympathetic judge and that seemed pretty cool. However, in
the macro, John Gruden has a better chance of moving
to Russia, becoming a citizen of Russia, Mother Russia, and
beating Vladimir Putin in a presidential election. He's got a
(05:53):
better chance of that happening at this point that beating
the Raiders and beating the NFL, really, which is who
he's going after, the NFL. I mean, that's just the
way it is. And here's why. The NFL. In every
single contract, every single contract the NFL, if you don't
know how this works, they put a poison pill in
(06:18):
the contract. Now, it's only a poison pill for the employee.
It's not a poison pill for the the NFL or
the team that is hiring, the members of the cartel
that are hiring people the work in the NFL and
the proviso. The poison pill. Garantees. Garantees that if you
(06:38):
have any kind of a beef with the NFL, you
feel like you were wrong. There was something that was
done untrt to you. The NFL will decide they will
go to arbitration and Roger Goodell or one of his
buddies will adjudicate the matter. Now, the NFL in the
language because the lawyers want this in there because it
(06:58):
helps their case when these cases go to court and
people sue and say that's not fair, the NFL says,
at the behest of Roger El, so it is possible
he can hire someone else to adjudicate the case. But ultimately,
whoever they put in there, the NFL is paid by
the NFL to decide the matters. And I go back
(07:20):
to the theory, and I'm not the first one that
came up with this. This is akin to having a
criminal case. It's not a criminal case, but the alleged
perpetrator gets to decide whether or not they're guilty or not.
That's essentially what the NFL's got in every one of
these contracts. John Gruden says, hey, I got screwed over here.
(07:42):
I'm getting the short end of the stick and I
would like to get my money. I want to sue you,
And the NFL is like, well, let's decide whether or
not we screwed you. Let's decide that. And it's a
great line that John Gruden's emails they were handpicked for
public ritic, right, and how do you like them apples? Now?
(08:02):
Brent Musburger, you're looking live. Brent Musburger said it past
as the Voice of the Raiders. He said that what
happened to John Gruden was a professional hit job by
a paid assassin. They didn't go the usual to the
unusual media goombas. According to Musburger, that's his famous quote,
knock on wood if you're with me. And it is
(08:23):
true that normally when stuff gets leaked, it goes to
like Adam Schefter or somebody like to add or the
state sponsored NFL media. In the John Gruden story, the
stuff that was leaked went to two people, mainly the
Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. The Wall
Street Journal and the New York Times, they were the
ones that got the dirt. Now, we would be shocked
(08:43):
if some NFL big wig in this latest turn in
the story did not have a nice meal at the palm.
Not that kind of pom, but the greasing of the
pom or go, would you like to have a nice skybox?
A upcoming game of your choosing. Would you like to
go to the super Bowl in New Orleans in early
(09:04):
twenty twenty five? Old fashioned bribery. Old fashioned bribery in play.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
The key to me with Gruden is and this is
why Gruden, I think, is really getting the rye into
the deal on this particular story is unlike almost all
of the other examples of this happening where somebody tries
to take down somebody else, we have not seen the
dog pile. Unless I missed it. Maybe I did. You
(09:33):
can correct me on that. But typically when someone has
an allegation against them, there is a conga line of
people lined up to play the victim card and say, Oh,
this guy's such a schmuck, such a loser, such a dingleberry.
Wait till you hear what they did to me trying
to one off each other. I didn't since that with
(09:55):
John Gruden. I didn't get that. Normally you get five
hundred and forty eight stories people saying that John Gruden
is this ism and that ism and this other ism
and all that. But didn't get that, didn't see a
second wave of people who were running out to yell
at cameras or on social media to get cloud. I
didn't see it all right. Now. Secondly, we turned to
(10:18):
politics of all things. In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson,
Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rogers. Aaron Rodgers gave his reaction. I
know you're dying to hear his reaction to Robert F.
Kennedy making a pitch for Rogers. Remember that we talked
(10:39):
about this, got a monologue out of it, thank god,
before the story went away that Rogers was in the
running to be the vice presidential candidate on the ticket,
the independent ticket for the twenty twenty four election, which
is coming up this November. Vote early and vote often.
So Aaron Rodgers said there was a time when he
truly entertained the thought of this. Okay, Then Rogers claims
(11:04):
he seriously considered the VP spot from RFK JR. Do
you believe Aaron Rodgers? Do you believe Aaron Rodgers on this?
So I'll go first. I am agnostic. I'm a skeptic
on this one, and I had an epiphany. I had
(11:26):
epiphany on this story. And I like to share my
epiphany because I know you're dying to hear my epiphany.
So here's my epiphany on the Aaron Rogers vice presidential story.
Rogers name was floated to a bunch of media outfits.
We know that a bunch of people reported the story,
but they were looking if you look back at what
(11:48):
they were doing, what the RFK Junior thing was doing
the campaign. What they were doing here was they were
using Aaron Rodgers like you would use a on in chess.
He was a pawn in the political game for free
media coverage. It's very expensive to buy commercials on television
(12:09):
and radio, and even the internet's not cheap on sites
people actually visit, so it's expensive. So what's a way
to generate free publicity? Say that Aaron Rodgers might be
my vice presidential candidate. Dopes like me eat that up.
It's great content, great engagement. We love it. Guess what,
(12:29):
it worked right? We did it. And it turns out
that RFK Junior what with someone named Nicole Shanahan. I
don't know who that is, but she's some big shot
in northern California in the tech world, and so she's
the running mate. And do I think that Aaron Rodgers
in his head thought that he would be the vice president? Yes?
(12:50):
I do. Do I think he was actually seriously being
considered for the vice president's vice presidential position. No, I
don't all right, final thought, we had to floor. Now
I read that the Jaguars. The Jaguars and the city
of Jacksonville have agreed to a one point four billion
dollar renovation project of the stadium there ever Bank Stadium.
(13:15):
The key part of this is a thirty year least
thirty years. That's a generation and a half that the
team will have to commit to stay in that city.
The question the Jacks they have a tentative agreement if
this goes through, and it looks like it will go through,
that will keep the NFL franchise in Jacksonville for the
(13:37):
long haul. What does that tell us? What does that do?
So this is first My first thing is this is
a sweetheart deal? Man? Is this a sweetheart deal? Because
if you look at the fine print, the taxpayers in
Jacksonville and in that part of Florida will be giving
six hundred and fifty million dollars of public money, your
hard earned dollars and cents to subsidize an NFL team
(14:01):
that doesn't even play all of their eight or nine
home games a year, depending of it's seventeen seventeen, you
get the extra home game or not. They don't even
play all their games in Jacksonville, right, They've been going
over to Europe playing games over there for years. Talk
about being a sucker. And when you take a couple
of steps back and you look at the wide angle
(14:23):
lens on this this story with Jacksonville, to me, it's
a dead giveaway. It's a dead giveaway that the NFL
product is not selling the way they thought it was
gonna sell in the UK. Now, Terry in England and
some other guys that listened to us abroad can correct
me if I'm wrong on this. But the NFL, I
(14:45):
was told by somebody that works in the NFL years
ago that the plan was, you know, you use Jacksonville
and you're gonna they're gonna play them for years, and
they're gonna add some other games. But ultimately the goal
was to move a team, Jacksonville being that team to London.
I'm going to go across the Atlantic to London and
put the Jags in there. And so the fact that
(15:07):
they're going to agree to this deal, assuming depending on
the loopholes, we don't know the fine print on this,
but assuming there's not any real loopholes in there that
could get out of the deal. The NFL will continue
to be pigs in the blanket. Pigs in a blanket,
they're on the appetizer menu in London, They're not the
(15:28):
main course. Now. I have heard that the players Union
was upset with the idea of having the forced players
that are drafted out of college to move to London
and established veteran players. And to that I laugh when
somebody told me that, because I said, when has the
NFL ever done anything looking out for the players. They
don't give a crap about the players. Whether they have
(15:49):
to live in London or not, it doesn't matter to them.
So that's where we are right. You can change my
mind if you want, but that's where I am. It
is the ban Mael or shel if you'd like to
be part, who can join us here. The Knickerbocker's got
to blow out winning their playoff game in the NBA.

do you have an answer? Eddie? Again? The malor riddle
of the day. Pirates rookie pitcher Paul Skins recently revealed
he was the number one pick of the baseball draft
last year, that he eats blank before every game.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Well, he's a good Southern California boy, El Toro height.
Speaker 1 (21:00):

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Not a real baby, of course, plastic baby.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I got the baby though.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I think that I meant you had to pay for it,
and you didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Well, I didn't pay for that cake, you're That was
a good kick, though. I should go to New Orleans
just for the cake. Anyway. The answer the answer. The
former number one overall picked last year, Pirate's rookie pitcher
Paul Skins says he eats chicken alfredo for every start.
(21:46):
Loves it, you big chicken Alfredo guy. Sure, I like
the Alfredo. You know what I like? I like to
combine the best of too words. I like chicken parm
and then a side of our fredo. I don't need
the chicken Alfredo. I do a side of Alfredo with
the chicken parm. Wow, that's a veteran move. Does anyone
(22:07):
disagree with that? No, no disagreement.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I've never had it, but I wouldn't mind.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
I kind of disagree with it. Oh, I would try it.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
No, it's good. It's simple. You get the best of
both words. I'm not saying that it's not good.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
But also like the chicken parm doesn't need any help
ben Well, No, Usually the chicken palm comes with spaghetti.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
They'll come with like a spaghetti or something. And I
hate so much spaghetti when I was a kid, I'm
done with spaghetti.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
I hate spaghetti.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
So I don't like spaghetti either.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I used to eat it all the time. I was
a cheap dinner my mom would make. So I eat
a lot of spaghetti, fish sticks, a lot of that.
I don't like fish or spaghetti. I hate tun of sandwiches.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
What the fish sticks? Did you microwave them or cook
them in the oven?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
There were both. There were times. Yeah, the stick at

Do you know what it is?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (23:44):
I do.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
I spent a good six years in Nashville, and Nashville
glaze is when you've been downtown Broadway all night and
going good, and then you wake up the next morning,
then you look out on the window to make sure
your truck's still on the driveway. That's the Nashville glaze.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
All right, well that makes sense. I've never I I
talked to Pet about texta guy I know that lives
in Nashville. He didn't know what it was.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
So Ben, yes, what Additionally, this is the first time
long time I would like to take our relationship with

Speaker 1 (25:22):
So help me, God, So help me, God. Congratulations, Do

We have to protect the honor of the show. All right,
(25:44):
thank you very much. There's a rob in Orlando.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Ben, have you mentioned uh Kirk Cousins who mentioned the
Kirk Cousins story yet in this.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
No, because I think he's lying, So I didn't really.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
All right, well, we'll just bring it up just in
passing that. Kirk Cousins, the new Atlanta Falcons quarterback, was
on a podcast.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
He was Jock Talks Eddie. It was hot jock talking
jocks all John.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
I asked him about, you know, the Falcons going out
and getting Michael Pennix junior. Of course, with the eighth
pick in the draft, and all the hubbub over that
and asked him, would he would he have signed with
the Falcons had he known that they were going to
draft a quarterback so high, And he said that it
is not helpful to have hard feelings about what the
Falcons did. And he said he does not deal with hypotheticals,
(26:36):
so he basically would not answer the question on whether
he would have signed with the Falcons had he known
that they were going to select the quarterback. So there
you go, Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
And you can see his nose growing. Even Inka Terror
could see the man's nose growing as that was going on.
And hey, thoroughbred racing. We love thoroughbred racing. They have
had new independent regulator HAISA that is implementing comprehensive reforms
and the sport is combining hands on care with cutting
edge technology to help keep its athletes safe. To learn more,
is it safety runs first? Dot Com? That safety runs
(27:07):
first dot Com?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
It's another Benmellard game. We've endored too many of these easy, too.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Much or not enough enough? Already, Lets play the game
right now. We welcome in our intestint from Lost Wages Nevada.
We say hello to Slug. What's Upboddy, everybuddy, what's going on? Buddy?
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Let's make this meetup happen in Vegas here?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
All right, Well, we're gonna try to make it happen.
We'll wait till it's like one hundred and seventy in
Vegas and then we'll go hang out with you.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
Okay, Hey, it'll be the best and best at all time.
Trust me, I'll put it together.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
You let me know.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
I got plenty of people that I know on bars, restaurants, whatever,
we can make it happen.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
All right, We'll talk to Koop, we'll figure out a
date that works for everybody, and we'll go like on
a I think a Friday night would be probably the
most fun.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Then we have off Fridays so it works.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Okay, Well, let's play the game here. Good luck to you, Slug.
I'll ask you a series of questions. All you have
to do is answer too much or not enough. If
you get three right, you win the game. Get all
five right, I'll give you two golden tickets. But if
you get three right, you get one golden ticket. Here
we go. Jalen Brunson has scored twenty or more points
in each of his twenty one playoff games with the Knickerbockers.
(28:22):
Is that he is the fourth player, fourth player ever
to have at least twenty straight twenty point playoff games
to begin a career with a team of the NBA.
Is that too much or not enough? Not enough? Slug?
That's incorrect that I believe it or not. It's too much.
(28:43):
He's only the second player to do so, joining Kareem
Abdul Jabbar with the skyhooks. So you're zero for one.
You can't get all five right, but you can still
get three right. Question number two. The Edmonton Oilers have
scored twenty five power play goals in their last twenty
playoff games. Is that too much or not enough? I
know you're big hockey guy, slug in Vegas?
Speaker 6 (29:03):
That was a game five last year we won the Cup.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
So I'm gonna say too much?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Too much?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
All right?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Let's fin is he right?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Is it like I missed all of them?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah? Megan, if you get all five of them wrong,
I'll give you a golden ticket.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Okay, not enough? They have scored thirty one power play goals.
They mean the Edmonton hockey team over the last twenty
playoff games, the most in that span since the Minnesota
North Stars in nineteen ninety one. Holy Dino Ciccarelli batman.
Question number three, Here we go, fer Nando to tease.
(29:42):
Junior now has one hundred and fourteen career home runs.
His father had one hundred and fifty over his eleven
year career. Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 6 (29:54):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
That's fine? Oh, he got one right. Look at that
as a ma The answer. I saw Fernando Tatis's father
there hit two grand slams in the same inning against
Chanho Park. I remember that I was at that game
at Dodger Stadium years ago. That'll never happen again, not
in my lifetime, probably not in your lifetime or your kids,
(30:17):
your grandkids are any The answer is too much. Fernando
Tatis Senior had one hundred and thirteen career home runs.
Question number four. I get these last two right to
win the game. It took Luke Doncik thirty five playoff
games to reach a thousand career points. That's it. In
the postseason. Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Let's find out that's right? Oh, my god, plus coming
back too much he did in thirty two games. It
comes down to this, are you ready slug it as
overbea okay, here we go. The Rockies are the third
team in Major League Baseball history to win six straight
games after not winning even two consecutive games all season
(31:03):
prior to that? Is that too much or not enough?
For the win? Too much? Are you sure about that?
Let's find out that is a winner. Slug has come
all the way back. He's climbed down on the sewer
and into the penthouse. The answer to the Rockies lead
(31:26):
second team to do show, but really to the first team,
because the other team to do it was the Indianapolis
Hoosiers in eighteen eighty nine. Apparently that was a baseball
team back in the day. So congratulations, Slug. You get
a golden take it. You get a golden take it.
You get a golden take it. You gotta golden for me.
A glorious day. Okay, I'm gonna hang up on you
now though I love you. I love you too. Thank you.
(31:48):

we have a lot of listeners in Vegas. We've done
very well the show. Doing an overnight show. When you're

Speaker 5 (34:47):
Okay. So my question is what is your opinion on
how household duty should be split up in a marriage
in terms of cleaning and cooking and things.
Speaker 7 (35:00):
Well, I personally, I think it should be more than
just fifty to fifty, right, Like, if you know your
person's really busy and hasn't had time to catch up
with themselves, you should go above and beyond fifty fifty.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Well, you know, like Justin and Cincinnati, by the way,
says the woman should do all of it. That's what
he just rode in.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
I mean if oh, yeah, no, I expect to also,
you know, have my partner take care of himself. I
do not expect to clean up after them at all,
unless I want to really clean after them.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Why not? What if they're really good, but they're just pigs,
you know.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
No, if we both work, then we both need to
clean I used to work.
Speaker 1 (35:42):

never cleaned up at himself. This guy used to work here,
