Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our num Burfall. Now, when I
was a kid, and I mean I'm getting old, I
used to watch Mister Rogers Neighborhood, like that show, like
that show, Sesame Street Electric Company, Mister Rogers Neighborhood. Saturday
Morning cartoons were a big part of my life before,
back in the Stone Age, before cartoons were everywhere. But

(00:21):
Aaron Rodgers comes to mind. He says that the TV
schedule for the NFL and the Jets is all because
you want to see him play with the Jets. Do
you agree with Rogers? Also, Chicago rookie Caleb Williams had
a tough day at the office for the Bears. Is
this cause for concern? And how do you classify Broncos

(00:42):
coach Sean Payton slobbering all over his quarterback Bo Nicks.

(02:32):
to Ben Malors Show at gmail dot com just put
jokes in the headlines. But our lead this hour from football. Well,
mister Rogers neighborhood. Now Fred Rodgers, not a big football player,
but a guy that has a similar name is with
the New York Jets. That's a football team that plays
in New Jersey but claims they're in New York. Their

(02:54):
schedule to play not one, not two, not three, not four,
not five? How about six prime time game during the
upcoming NFL season. That is the most in the history
of the Woebegond franchise. Now, Aaron Rodgers has spoken on
the Bright Lights in the Big City for Gang Green. Now,
I don't you heard what he had to say or not?

(03:15):
I thought it was interesting. Perhaps you missed it, so
I would like to play the audio. So here's Aaron
Rodgers who believes the TV schedule for the Jets is
all about him. Take it.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
I love it. I love it. I mean we are
must watch TV. And that's pretty obvious. Everybody knows that,
whether you love me or hate me, people want to
see me play. They enjoy watching me play, and we
are a team to watch this year, not surprising, six

(03:47):
primetime games in the first eleven or twelve weeks.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, he loves So this is what I want to
talk about now, Aaron Rodgers. You just heard it. He said,
the TV schedule is because people want to see him
play with the Jets. Do you agree that it's about
Aaron Rodgers, that this is about and Rodgers? Do you
agree with this so reluctantly, because you know I don't
like to agree with anything, I am nodding my head. Yes,
I'm nodding my head, closing my eyes and nodding my head. Yes.

(04:14):
And I've got my take on this. I've got King
of all Media, Bubba Chuck and Rapper, and we'll combine
all of these things together and we are going to
get a weed man, hippie some more food snamps. I
just spoke to him off the ear. He said he's
running out of food. So I said, well, we'll figure
that out for him, all right now to kick off that,

(04:38):
very modest of Aaron Rodgers, very modest of Aaron Rodgers
to spell out that it is all about him people
want to see him play. And while you certainly sound
like a douche canoe when you say that, unfortunately and reluctantly,
Aaron Rodgers hit the bullseye bullseye on this. Because you've
got a couple of factors. Rogers is the most important one.

(05:00):
But there are a number of TV executives that love
the Jets. Now, how do I know that. I know
that because these television executives, I know some of them.
I have friends that know them. I've dealt with some
of these people. They love the Jets, and they're also gamblers.
They're gambling like the riverboat gambler. They are that Aaron

(05:23):
Rodgers is going to stay healthy as an old geezer
quarterback by football standards, and so they're sticking in their
neck out and Aaron Rodgers for him and all the
critiques of Rogers by this faction and that faction, I
guess you could say he's immunized from the noise. But
Rogers loves it. He absolutely loves being a firebrand. He does,

(05:46):
and in many respects, Rogers is like the old mantra
about the king of all Media. He's the NFL's king
of all media. There's a term we use in the
radio business. It's called the Stern effect, and it goes
way back to before Howard Stern became woke. When He
was the king of all media in New York and
he had a syndicated show and everyone listened to it.

(06:08):
That was before the internet really took off, and it
was just huge and it was the most important thing,
and people loved it. But the people who really hated
Howard Stern would listen longer than the people that liked
or loved his show. They just wanted to listen to me.
They wanted to keep listening to make sure they didn't
miss an opportunity to be offended. It's kind of like

(06:28):
social media, right. People are on social media because they
don't want to get off it because you want to
be upset about something, whether it's politics or whether it's
some freak from the Freak Show posting a video. You
want to get worked up and do a lot of it.
So the same concept applies. It's a flaw in the
way we're all wired as human beings. We just like

(06:49):
to get our blood boiling. And so Rogers for televisions like, well, yeah,
the Jets are a New York team, and so that's
the biggest market and all that. But Rogers is a
light rod and television is betting that he will have
a similar impact and if it doesn't work out, then
all the TV executives and Aaron Rodgers and Joe Rogan

(07:10):
will walk out into the forest and RFK Junior and
they'll all have some ayahuasca.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
All right.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Now, Furthermore, we head now to the second city. Panic
at the Bears, Dan, Panic at the Bears Den Mini
caap update, Mini camp update from Chicago. Is it true
that the prized franchise changing number one pick of the
Chicago Bears has looked like absolute absolute flatulence early on? Well,

(07:44):
it appears so if you believe the breathless reporting coming
out of the Windy City. And I know that our
guy Yaphimi and all our buddies in Chicago g Mans,
they're not gonna like this Eugene in Chicago. But the
reporting is the rookie quarterback Williams has coughed up a
fur ball with the Bear starters had many I love

(08:08):
this near interceptions and many near interceptions at the offseason workout.
He completed just three passes and the seven on seven
drills that they ran most of the passes. According to
Breathless Bear beat writers, most of the passes were completed
to the flat, so those easy basic rudimentary passes and

(08:31):
Williams held onto the ball for a long time. So
we'll frame it this way. Rookie Caleb Williams, Rookie Kyler Williams,
a rough day at the office for the Bears. Thumbs
up or thumbs down? Is this a cause for concern?
So I'm gonna beat Benny Brightside on this one. I'm

(08:51):
gonna go thumbs down, meaning it is not a cause
for concern. And while I recommend always hitting the panic button,
it's good talk rate. Even I have my limits. Even
I have my limits. And I turned on this one
to Bubba Chuck better known by his regular name Alan Iverson.

(09:11):
The answer is the answer. And we're sitting in here.
I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we in
here talking about practice, not a game, not a game.
We're talking about practice. The great Allen Iverson, who's still
making money off that rant all these years later, still
making money. This reminds me a little bit of when

(09:33):
Patrick Mahomes was with Kansas City as a rookie and
through like seven interceptions during training camp and what looked
just horrible and people were panicking and all that was
It was just wonderful. I believe they used blanks in practice.
In the real games, they used the live bullets I

(09:55):
think in the NFL. But here's the deal. If he
he comes out, Caleb Williams when the real game start
and pukes in his mouth, we will absolutely revisit this.
And you know, I love to attack quarterbacks. It's my hobby,
it's my pastime. But even I believe let's see a
couple of workouts first time as Bears quarterback. Yeah, the

(10:21):
whole practice reporting thing is a rather new phenomena because
it's like judging a Broadway show by how the rehearsal
goes a little tough lit tough, right, a little tough
all right, last thing here, we head now to the
Rocky Mountains where Broncos quarterback bow Knicks. That's right, Broncos

(10:43):
quarterback Bo Nicks, the guy that spent twelve years in
college is now in the NFL, and he is already
turning heads. He's a head turner in pressing, you said coach,
at least according to Sean Payton. Now, Sean Payton told
the assembled media that bow Knicks is quote farther along
than most would be. According to Sean Payton in his

(11:05):
situation that he's picking up the Denver offense very quickly.
So how do you classify the Broncos head coach Sean
Payton pumping the tires on quarterback Bo Nicks. So I've
got P and P as in predictable and premature. Just

(11:27):
like I said, you can't get too worked up because
Caleb Williams looks like he never held the football before
in Chicago. You can't get too excited because Sean Payton
thinks that bo Nicks is God's gift to the quarterback position.
We are in the very early stages of workouts. Nevertheless,
based on Sean Payton's glowing endorsement, I would like to

(11:49):
bring up the name of a rapper, the Rapper Future,
one of his tunes back in the day, the Chosen One,
because in Denver, bow Knicks is the teacher's pet. He's
the favorite son of Sean Peyton. And we'll see if
that means anything. I would imagine that Sean Payton is
going to do the same thing with bo Nix that

(12:10):
he did with Russell Wilson last year. A rudimentary offense,
most passes underneath, not too many chances down the Field.
I did get a message from one of our listeners
in Colorado who claimed, I think he was using tongue
in cheek verbiage, but he said, what Sean Payton said
about bo Nicks is nicer than anything he said last

(12:33):
season about Russell Wilson. So I think that was a joke.
I believe that was a joke. It is the Ben
Mallor Show. If you would like to be part of
the program, you can join us right now. Speak Easy
rules are in effect. The good news is though, and
I'll be here on the holiday weekend. Over the holiday

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Well, you're right, yeah, it's in many respects, you are

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Thank you, thank you very much.

Speaker 10 (17:21):

No, I'm not gonna say thank you.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Jesus An. It's hard to get that title. And no
one's really close the way of everyone else that does
the math.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
Yeah, yeah, there nobody shouting it out like you know,
shouts your abortion that. I thought that was a terrible idea,
but shouting your meths methodication not a good thing either.

Speaker 11 (17:38):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (17:38):
Then the the frog talk.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Now, I'm not even gonna go there.

Speaker 10 (17:42):
The stating is Friday morning on high school high school
pop quiz, what percentage of Floridans do you think would
accurately assess that the Florida Panthers are a real professional
entity in the state of Florida. I've lived in all
my life and I still don't believe it every time here.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
You live so far away from there, why would you
believe it? You know, we're close to there, You're you're
probably a thousand miles maybe on a thousand, but close
to it. How many miles are you away from from Miami?

Speaker 4 (18:11):
I mean, whatever, God blessed me with you're because it's
it's it's three times I go to New Orleans and
back twice, New Orleans back twice before I get to Miami.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
I mean, yeah, yeah, what what town are you? Where
did you get arrested again? What was the time? I'll
do the math on this. Where what was the town
you were arrested in?

Speaker 4 (18:26):
You're a math star, I'm a mess star, and I'm
a myth star.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Panama, I see, does anyone want to take bets on this?
How many miles from Panama City Beach to Miami. Let's
see Panama City Beach.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
I'm going to guess. I make a guess.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
All right, go ahead, and n is going to play
the game. Lorain to play the game, Lorena, I guess
it's two and seventy three miles.

Speaker 12 (18:49):
Bad god, that is a terrible guest. Eddie, Eddie, would
you like to take six hundred miles?

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Okay? Coop you want to take a guess?

Speaker 2 (19:02):
And he took my guess. I'm gonna go six hundred
and one miles.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
All right, I'm gonna go, Howard Bordo of you six
hundred and eighty miles. Let's see here reveal answers Panama
City Beach to Miami Mile.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
Why you're doctivating, I'm thinking like a green mile.

Speaker 11 (19:21):
You know.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
He took them where they drove both.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Wait a minute, what was your what was your guest? Eddie?

Speaker 5 (19:27):
Six?

Speaker 1 (19:28):
And Coop? You guess what?

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Six on one?

Speaker 1 (19:30):
And lorraina what did you get?

Speaker 2 (19:31):
I don't know, like two hundred and something.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Well, Lorrain actually wins because she didn't go over showcase
showdown rules. It's five hundred ninety two miles.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Oh my god, the woman's tea. You gotta play with
your Johnson. Now they just got all.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Right, Jed, you're eight, You're an eight hour, thirty eight
minute drive away from Miami, and I think they don't
depend just play like north of Miami, right.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
I think the sunrise for it right in Florida.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
So I saw you gotta do sunrise fight.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
That's not even in the state of Florida.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yai, Yeah, okay, I'm gonna go to you, all right,
thank you, sunrise. Let me see sunrise Florida. This might
change things. About five hundred and seventy two miles. That's
a little closer. So that was right. It was a
little north of Miami's still being a winner eight hours

(20:24):
and nine nine minutes. I think that was some kind
of instant karma for Jed, who fled because he took
a shot at you and then immediately yeah, did not
go well for h Let's say hello to a man
who never takes a shot at anyone. Hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hello,
hollering James, Your phone sucks?

Speaker 11 (20:45):
What that sens? Why life sucks? I got to get
cheated by so many people. I'm gonna answer to so
many doctors and all these pills I take a day.
I'm just seventy two pills.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
What back to seventy I thought they cut back your medication.

Speaker 11 (21:06):
They ended up, They said it because of behavioral problems.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Oh no, James, James, I don't want to hear that.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Mom.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Man, Well, you must spend two hours a day just
taking pills, so you're back to So that means that
you're back to what you were on before, right, because
you were they lowered your total. So, James, do you
still take thirty six pills in the morning and thirty
six pills at.

Speaker 11 (21:32):
Night and thirty six pills in the morning. Thirty six pills?
Maybe have got living them for the regiment?

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Oh my god? So the math on that we did
the math before, so that boy, back to back math.
My My teachers in elementary, junior, high, and high school
be very proud of doing math. So seventy two pills,
I'm not done, James. Seventy two pills a day. You
take five hundred and four pills per week, per month,

(22:01):
you take two thousand, two hundred and thirty two pills,
and per year if you keep that pace up for
a full year, James, in three hundred and sixty five days,
and this year's a leap year. So it's an extra day.
You will end up taking twenty six thousand, two hundred
and eighty pills plus another seventy two.

Speaker 11 (22:21):
I can't do the math.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
I just did the math. I just did the math.
You're gonna be taking almost thirty thousand pills this year, James,
I know?

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Do mean? Well?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
I think you're keeping the medical companies in business. James,
My god, that is unbelievable.

Speaker 11 (22:41):
Yeah, pharmaceutical by insurance. I think I think inurance.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
That might be going on, James. I think I don't
want to speak for anybody. That's just my opinion, and
you can't sue me for my opinion. So that's my opinion.
Seventy two pills, man, that seems excessive to me. Bad,
bad to think Eddy that successive seventy two pills a
day is that I've met James. Now, you've got some issues, James. Right,

(23:07):
you'd admit that you got a few things that are
a little hay wire, right, But that is seventy two pills.
My god, that's unbelievable. All right, Well, hanging out, what
what do you saying?

Speaker 5 (23:25):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Now I feel I don't know what to do. What
do I do? How do I help him. Any what
can I do to help Aul?

Speaker 5 (23:32):
I don't think there's anything you can do.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Well, if anyone has suggestions on how we can help
Holler and James. I don't know what the pills are.
I don't know what kind of medications he's on.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
But that's sad, isn't Isn't his favorite person a nurse? Yes?
Maybe maybe she.

Speaker 9 (23:49):
I mean, if there's anybody who's gonna help him, Yeah,
he might actually listen to her too, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
He will listen to her. Yeah, he's got no one
advocating for me. He's by himself, you know, sitting in
that facility he's in. That's a tough I that's a
tough life, you know, it's that that's you know, no
one's looking out for him. He had somebody looking out
for him, maybe he'd only be on you know, twelve
pills a day instead of thirty six pills a day
or something like that. Man, can't they consolidate some of

(24:16):
that stuff?

Speaker 5 (24:17):
That just I mean that seems extensive. Yes, it's excess.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
I mean, that's that's depressing. I don't want to be depressed,
and I don't have James's no, I'd give him a
call but I don't have his I don't have his number,
and it's I don't want him to have my number
ready because then he'll never stop calling it. Yeah, it'll
be like Doc Mike, although Doc has not called me
as much recently and he doesn't call the show as

(24:43):
Doc Mike. So if you have any suggestions on how
we can help Paller and Champs, boy, we got to
help all these people. Weed man's a wreck in Miami
on Lincoln Road. He can't he's running out of food.
His government assistant, he ran out of money. On that
somebody's pil pilfering his money out of his bank account.
They got his information. So some losers doing that. Hopefully

(25:03):
they're not to listen to the show or I'll punch them.
And you got hollering James, who's got his issues now
all he needs the trifecta. Now we need Marcel to
tell us he's got problems too, and then we're good
to go. Anyway, it is the Ben Malor Show. If
you want to email me any suggestions I can pass
on to hollering James. Ben Malors Show at gmail dot com.
Ben Maler Show at gmail dot com. We'll try to

(25:24):
help out our buddy Jane.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
But Uncle Mob be very excited to hear about this
WNBA news.

Speaker 11 (25:58):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (25:58):
The board of Governors in the WNBA voted unanimously thirteen
to nothing for expansion. They are gonna have a new
team in Toronto.

Speaker 6 (26:10):

Speaker 9 (26:12):
The NBA Board of Governors had to vote as well,
and they voted twenty nine to one in favor of expansion.
Do you know who the one team was that said
no to the WNBA in Toronto?

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Is it true, Eddie, that that particular person runs a
garden party on a regular occurre.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
That is correct.

Speaker 9 (26:30):
Yes, that would be James Dolan of the Knicks, because
he's got beef with the Toronto Raptors.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
So he's got a lawsuit against the Toronto Raptors because
he thinks that the Knickerbocker intellectual property was stolen by
the Toronto Raptors. And he's very upset because everyone wants
to copy the Knicks. He's very angry by that. But Eddie,
after that hollowing James.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
Call, we all need a fun fact.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Little subdued Eddie, time for some fun fun fact fun
fact here This is a geography of the geography fun
fact from our friend alf. Iceland is the only country
in the world where there are no mosquitoes, the only
one with no mosquitoes. They also don't have snakes or
any other reptiles in Iceland. Also, there's only a few

(27:13):
species of spiders that live in Iceland and none of
them are harmful to human beings. So, if you hate
mosquitos like I do, mosquitoes love to eat me. I
was very lucky I made it out of North and
South Carolina without being killed by mosquitos. And well, yeah,

(27:34):
the most deadly thing on the planet is a mosquito, Eddie?

Speaker 9 (27:38):
Well, oh yeah, but you don't. You weren't in Africa, right,
I mean I don't think that. Yeah, I think you're
all right.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
But no, people can get illnesses from mosquitoes.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
It happens, they can, but usually not in this country.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
No, it does happen. People get to what's that illness
that mosquitoes give in America? I'm forgetting the name of it.

Well I was closequite tick is like tick is like
a cousin of the mosquito. I think they're cousins. Maybe
not first cousins, Eddie. Maybe there there's what is the
mosquito disease? There's something I know, I know the flreada.

Speaker 5 (28:27):
Don't answer.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Whatever, you're a you're a hater. But that was the
fun fact, And man, is that a fun fact?

Here, Big killer, alright, whatever, Eddie's a hater. Double O
Mexicans not a fun fact, Eddie. I'm gonna come in

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Double ow Mexican says, Jed, who fled, is the usine
Bolt of meth callers, he points out, and then Mark
the full name Guy's upset because I read a comment
from Fergdog earlier, and he says he realized what kind
of schmucks you associate with, And Mark the full name
Guy says, I'm so glad I will never be one
of your pathetic members of the Malad militia. And Jed,

(29:17):
he says, is pathetic and really rather stupid. Double Mexican
also says, hollering James is the Joey Chestnut of pill poppers,
and alf is confused because James sounds the complete opposite
of the way he sounded yesterday.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
Well, doing all those drugs will change your mood.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, and Kathy, by.

Speaker 9 (29:38):

the Mallard militia.

Speaker 5 (29:43):

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah, he's been calling us for years. He's been banned before, right,
he said justifiable homicide years ago against me, got banned.
But I've forgiven him. And he sent me a long
manifesto threatening me and ripping apart. But I've forgiven him
and we've made up. We're buddies now. We hug it out.
We fight, We're like brothers. Mean it marked the full
name guy. We fight and then we make up. Kathy

fun little fact too. If you fill a spray bottle
full of the liquid butter, you can take it in
with you and spray it as you eat your popcorn
down like.

That is actually a really great hack. That is an
amazing hack. Every piece of popcorn will have butter, the
right amount of butter on it. Change. That's the Why
wasn't that the fun fact of the hour?

Speaker 2 (33:10):
It's called sight and moving over to television.

Speaker 13 (33:13):
There's not much this weekend, but there are a couple
of documentaries that I want to highlight. One of them
I can't remember who. When I tried to go through
my dms and find it, but I couldn't find it.
One of them was recommended by a listener. He said,
they wanted me to bring it up for you.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Ben.

Speaker 13 (33:29):
This is this is documentary. Yes, it is a documentary.
It is called Blue Angels.

Speaker 11 (33:35):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
I when I was a kid with the biggest event.
I lived near two military bases in the blue Is
it about the Blue Angel like the military?

Speaker 5 (33:42):
It is?

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Okay, Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Used to watch them when I was a kid, the
El Tora Marine Base in Orange County. I lived near
there and no longer exists, but it was awesome. That
was like the highlight because we got to see the
show first. Because they would practice all week before the
air show, all right, for the two weeks before we
got free Blue Angel shows afternoon, we knew exactly when
they were flying, and as little kids, we would go

(34:04):
out and we were like, we thought it was like
the coolest thing in the world.

Speaker 9 (34:07):
There were some amazing YouTube videos of some of their stuff.
Like you know, a camera gobro in the cockpit and
stuff like that. It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yes, this is probably right up your alley.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Then it's uh yeah, yeah, where's it?

Speaker 13 (34:16):
What?

Speaker 2 (34:17):
It's on Amazon Prime?

Speaker 13 (34:18):
Okay, I got it, says Saw with the Blue Angels
and a brand new documentary featuring never before seen footage
that chronicles a year with the Navy's Elite Flight Demonstration Squadron.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
Oh that's cool. I will check that out and I
will not allow I will watch it at the gym
so my wife, because my wife does probably no interest
in that. So I'll watch that treadmill.

Speaker 13 (34:36):
And then uh, last thing that I want to mention
is a documentary that will premiere on Wednesday, Wednesday of
next week on HBO and it is called uh movie
Pass Movie Crash.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Oh that sounds good too. I remember you. You were
part of that, right, Yes, I was. I tried to
sign up, but when I signed up they started putting
limits on.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
It was already past the heyday.

Speaker 13 (35:02):
Yeah yeah, So, of course this tells the story of
the the meteoric rise and the stranger than fiction implosion
of the theatrical movie subscription app movie Pass.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
There is a pattern where's what platform is that on HBO. Okay,
there's a pattern here, Coop. Didn't you how many shrimp
did you eat when you went to Red Lobster?

Speaker 2 (35:20):
It's like eighty one eighty one?

Speaker 1 (35:22):
They went out of business. You had the movie pass,
they went out of business. I think Coop, that you are.
There's a common denominator and it's justin Cooper. That's what
I think.

Speaker 13 (35:31):
So should I Should I go take advantage of Buffalo wild.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Ware going cross the street, the wild Wings and they'll
be going out of business as well?

Speaker 2 (35:40):
Did you say eighty one shrimp? Yes?

Speaker 5 (35:45):
I agree?

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Three doughnuts was bad.

Speaker 6 (35:50):
Man?

Speaker 2 (35:50):
That's nothing.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Well was that the record Coop? At that location? Was
that the record? Eighty one shrimp?

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (35:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 13 (35:57):
It was just it was a competition between me and
my buddy.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Yeah, I lost, believe it or not.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Wow, how many did he?

Speaker 13 (36:05):
This is what was so messed up in an ear
saying like I was, I was struggling, and I kept
going and he didn't like he wasn't even breaking a sweat.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
He was just like watching.

Speaker 13 (36:13):
He would watch what I would eat, and then he
would eat one more and and look and look at.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Me like okay, and you're gonna keep going.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Dude, this guy's a boss. That's gamesmanship. That's that's eating
contest gamesmanship.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Is he related to Kobe Yashi your chestnut?

Speaker 2 (36:28):
No, he's like he's like super thin like him too.

Speaker 12 (36:31):
It's I hate these people that can look like that
and eat all the food.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I hate that.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
I look at food, I get fat.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
I hate us because you ain't us that damn right.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
I think we don't have time for the sports JEF.

Speaker 5 (36:45):
Pretty cool, Oh cool.

Speaker 1 (36:47):

amazing factoids. There are some things I didn't get to
that will clean up the mess the spill on Aisle five,
including that white House story. We'll get to that. We'll

So this I thought this was kind of interesting. My
buddy sports with Coleman sent me this. The White House
had a state dinner and you fight, well, who cares
about that? Nobody cares about the state dinner? Who cares well?
I thought the list of guests was somewhat interesting for
those of us who do little sports radio here. So

(37:51):
they had a Kenya state dinner at the White House
this week and among the dignitaries that showed up were
NBA can Adam Silver and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. So
what is the point of Like, why would you other
than I get I guess it's cool to hang out

(38:12):
at the White House, But like, do you really need
to have the commissioner of the NFL and the NBA
to be at the state dinner for case? It seems
odd to me. By the way, this portal show made
