Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our name Birth three hour three and we head
to the world, where Mike Parsons, defensive star for the
Dallas football team, implied he wants to be with the
Cowboys for life.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
How about them Cowboys? What are the odds that that
actually happens?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Also, why did the Titans Jeffrey Simmons apologize for an
altercation with a Nashville radio host and forty nine Ers
star Brock Perty was picked off four of his final
five passes in practice. He said, he's just experimenting. Is
this something to worry about for the Niners? We'll discuss

(00:41):
that as well. Inquire within It's our number three, singing
the song Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mahler Show.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
We are in the air everywhere.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Pop in freend as we think in biblical terms, coast,
the coast, border, the border and beyond. On the mast
and outrageously powerful microphones of FSR am mondating live from
the Bliss, the Blabber Bliss as we are broadcasting live

(01:20):
the tire rack dot Com studios.

Speaker 2 (01:24):

and over ten thousand recommended installers tire iraq dot Com,
The Way Tire Buying shoot b and Yafeem. He's one
of those day night guys. I was very proud of

(01:45):
the Malard Militia. I occasionally get asked to fill in
on the local affiliate here in La.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
I used to fill in other cities.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
They don't usually ask me anymore to fill in elsewhere,
but the LA affiliate here M five seventy and Eliot
Dodger station asked me to fill in this week, and
a bunch of you boys were listening, so I was flattered.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
So thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
It's good to know that the Mallard Militia will travel
and even to the dreaded day shift, So thank you
for that. It didn't mean a lot. So we're gonna
get to Mallard of the third degree in a couple
of minutes. Here time shifted for ratings purposes. I know
you're excited about that. Try to stay calm.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Hoops warming up his vocal cords right now.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
But our lead in this hour is from the world,
not your world, not my world.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
It's Jerry's world.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Our obligatory Mallard monologue relating to the Dallas Cowboys. Now
we're still waiting for something to break in cowboy Camp.
The only news that has come out of cowboy camp
is no one's going to cowboy camp. A lot of chatter,
but no movement around the contract bottleneck for CD LAMB
and the Coda Prescott Will Jerry Cave. Is Jerry getting nervous?

(02:57):
Is he getting that flop sweat? Is he start cutting
those massive checks or is he just gonna stand pat
and say, you win a playoff game playoffs, beat somebody
other than a seventy year old Tom Brady in the playoffs,
which is what they did a couple of years ago,
and then we'll renegotiate. So one of the guys who
would like to get paid. Everyone wants to get paid.

(03:18):
Michael Parsons defensive stalwart Michael Parsons, who's also on that
payment list.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
He has now entered the chat. Did you hear what
he had to say? Maybe not. He didn't say care
to dance.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Michael Parsons preached the gospel about being a cowboy I
for life, he said, quote the star holds so much
weight and the legacy that brings. He said, so in
terms of being here meeting the Cowboys. I want to
be here my whole life. I plan on building a

(03:55):
house here and being in Dallas forever. Close quote. Okay,
let us discuss the question. Micah Parsons not really implying
he said he wants to be a forever Cowboy.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
What are the odds that this actually happens.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
So I've got the Daily Double Carpet and Blues Brothers,
and we'll put all of these things together and we
are going to walk the line, is what we're going
to do. So, first of all, Malard sportsbook gods, which
are not official lots.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
These are the Malord sportsbook gods.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I'm gonna put the number on this at plus four
fifty plus four to fifty. Now, that implies a less
than twenty percent chance, a less than twenty percent chance. Now,
we don't doubt that Micah Parsons loves playing for the
Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Why wouldn't you.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
There's a lot of perks that you get when you
play for the Cowboys. There's a lot of benefits you
don't get when you're playing for Jacksonville or Cincinnati. Right
when you're with the Cowboys, you're put on a pedestal.
They give you the manny and the petty.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
They lick your toes.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
You're never held accountable for not playing well in big games.
They forgive you and you're given essentially the hawk to
a treatment by the fan base. It's all great, right,
it's all great, But ultimately everything I just said is
a lie because I said, but money talks, book crap walks, right,
Micah Parsons what he's doing with these quotes, and I

(05:34):
have been paid for many, many years to parse quotes,
parse words, So parsing the words of Micah Parsons, what
he's doing here is playing the daily double. He's playing
the daily double. He's buttering the biscuits of Jerry Jones
on one hand, so that's one leg of the daily double,
while also on the other leg, deputizing the zombie portion

(05:57):
of the Cowboy fan base, the bootlegs. Now, there are
Cowboy fans that listen to the show that are objective,
not many. There's a few that contribute content to the show,
but most are just blind lemmings. Right, So he's deputizing
the cowboy brown noser to do his dirty work on

(06:17):
social media and apply pressure. And you know, Jerry Jones,
even though he's about one thousand years old.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
He still monitors all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Now.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Secondly, we head to Nashville, Tennessee. That's where we're going
right now. Why because that is where we had a
sports radio guy.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Make national news.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
This involves a Tennessee Titan defensive player, Jeffrey Simmons. He's
ad tackle for the Titans. You might have heard about
the story the other day. We didn't bring it up
on this show. But there's more of the story. So
we're gonna give you the latest on this now. Jeffrey
Simmons addressed the media through an army of microphones. He
said he apologed for a very public verbal altercation that

(07:04):
was broadcast live on the airwaves of Nashville with a
local radio host. So this goes back a couple of
days back on Tuesday, Jeffrey Simmons approached Buck Rising. What
a great name. That's got to be a radio name, right,
that can't be his real name? Buck Rising love the
name Buck, big fan of the name. So Buck's one

(07:25):
of these big afternoon guys in Tennessee. In Nashville, he's
a radio host and after practice, while there was an
interview with a different person going on Simmons.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Came over on the live air, as.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Our friend helmet Man used to say, and on the
live air, he got upset with Buck Rising over a
post that had been made on social media. He called
Buck Rising a pussy willow is what he called him,
among other things, spicy meatballs. So this all played out

(08:04):
on one oh four point five, the zone, which just
happens to be where this show is carried right now.
We're on one oh four five, one oh four point
five to zone right now in Nashville.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
So that's our home, the Ben Mather Show home in Nashville.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
And Simmons said of the verbal Donnie Brook quote, that's.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Not who I am or who I want to be
seen as.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
He then went on to say, he promised that it
won't ever happen again.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Okay, Well I certainly saw him like that. I heard
him like that.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
So why did the Titans defensive and Jeffrey Simmons apologize
for the altercation with the Nashville radio host. So my
theory is he got the tap, He got a tap
on the shoulder. He was called the carpet, and when
you're called to the carpet, you gotta take care of business,

(08:56):
right he didn't play the game the right. When you're
in the Bible belt, that doesn't play. To call someone
a pussy willow does not work so much. And so
you see the apology, and I looked at the apology.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I watched the clip. It was more like I've only
been to one.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Broadway show because I don't really fit in those old
New York theaters in Manhattan. But the Broadway show I
went to, it's got a lot of choreography. This had
more choreography than a Broadway musical.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Right. The Titans pr hacks set all of this up right.
More likely than not, they even gave him.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
The boiler plate talking points response and he hit all
of them right, this is not who I am. I apologize,
it won't happen again. Like those are the big three.
He hit the big three. Now we have Mallard of
the third degree final fuck. Though before Mallard of the
third degree final fuck to the Bay Area, we go
and headlines all over people biting their fingernails, what's going

(09:58):
on with Brock Purty, the loser from the Super Bowl
Brock party was picked off not one, not two, not three,
but four, four times four of the final five passes
in practice here recently, he said, though when asked about it,
he said that he is just experimenting.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
So is this something to worry about now? My response
to this is a.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Hy a wn as in yawn. And it's another one
of these stories. And this is the time of the year.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
I get it. We're into August now.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
This is one of those stories where he's like, where's
the beef. It's it's the Blues Brothers classic rubber biscuit,
a wish sandwich, the kind of a sandwich. Well, you
take two pieces of bread and you wish you had
some meat. And I'm with brock Purty on this one.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
I'm gonna stand with him.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
It's the same thing happens in all of our sports, right.
It's a rather new thing. It didn't happen when I
was younger. It's changed in my lifetime. It's like spring
training statistics in baseball. People get all excited about that
basketball scrimmages. Stat tracking during practice not a gay, Not

(11:19):
a gay during practice. Stat Tracking is an exercise in futility.
It's akin to saying I'm gonna go out to the
mighty Pacific Ocean, or maybe I'll go over.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
To the Atlantic, and I'm gonna plow the ocean. Like,
what's the point?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Text me when brock Purty starts pooping his pants in September. Now,
the argument against rock Purty was that he throws a
lot of interceptions and all that. But it hasn't happened
at a high rate since he's actually played in real games.
So until I start seeing it in real games, then
I can revisit this. But at this point, no, it's
it's where's the beef type situation. It is the Ben Mallers.

(11:57):
So speaking of where's the beef, let's get to the
beef right now, here we go beef time.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
It's Mallard. How about that to the third degree? This
is one big gets grilled. I'll make sure to get
loreto those smelling salts.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Put in the meantime the coop a loop with Mallard
the third degree.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
To be fair, it was a weird toss. I wasn't
sure what horrible toss.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
I was trying to get through as quickly as possible.
I don't know what you want me to do. What
is beef time? I said, where's the beef? Mallard the
third degree? All right?

Speaker 4 (12:39):
John Elways said, during a podcast appearance this week that his.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Just gotta pay attention, that's all. It's not that hard.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
Yes, go ahead this, I don't know what beef time
is as big as mistake as Broncos GM was not
drafting Josh Allen. Then do you agree with him?

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Well, I don't have a big board of John Elway's
mistakes as Bronco GM, but he was overseeing the team
where they brought in Peyton Manning and all that, and
then once Peyton Manning fell apart, they won that Fluke
super Bowl where Manning was like pushed across the finish
line in a hospital journey. The Broncos have become like

(13:18):
the Cleveland Browns. In fact, they're worse than the Cleveland
Browns the last.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Couple of years. So there's like, it's not just Josh Allen.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
There's a ton of hindsight mistakes that you can make,
but it's it's not just Josh. I mean there's free
agent signings that were disaster, coaching hires that were a joke.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
It's all inclusive with John that way, all right.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
Next, a NFL insider recently said that a DeVante Adams
trade is not on the horizon. And the only chance
of it happening is right before the deadline, if the
Raiders season is already circling the drain and are you
buying this report.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well, yeah, it hits the bullseye because the Raiders think
they're going to be a contender. They think they're going
to be contended for a while to cart spot in
the AFC. So once that has been evaporated and the
Raiders end up on the side of the road, then
they could trade Devonte Adams to the Jets or whoever.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
But until then, there's no reason for treading. And they
got to see what.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
They've got this year with my guy Gardner, Minshew or O'Connell,
and then they can can revisit that right next.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
CJ.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
Gardner Johnson was livid this week when Madden twenty five
tweeted out the list of the top ten safeties in
the game and he was not on the list. Gardner
Johnson even specifically called out the choices of Tyron Matthew
and Kevin Byer the third.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Do you think he should be in the top ten?

Speaker 2 (14:36):
It's a list, Who cares, it's a video game list, Like,
I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
This is one of those things I do not understand.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Like they come out every year with the top sports
radio host, and every once in a while I make
the list, usually near the end, and and a lot
of the people that are the top I've heard their shows.
They suck at radio, They're terrible. So it's just one
person's opinion. Who cares. I don't get worked up over it.
I don't even worry about it most of the time.
So it's irrelevant to me, and it should be irrelevant

(15:05):
to CJ.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Gardner Johnson. So like, what are we doing here? That's it?
Mallard of the third degree? How did we do to
pass this edition? That is a wind you put on
the board?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Here you go, all right, we press on and on
and on. Time now for the Mallor Riddle of the day.
And here is the Mallor Riddle of the day, and
we'll go to the Olympics. An Olympics fencing announcer. An

Oh oh yeah, you're threatening my right bro? How does

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Mark?

Speaker 2 (20:56):
You called the show you were living in San Francisco
at the time, and you said, you said, my.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Matter.

Speaker 8 (21:04):
How many times do I have to kill you? That?

Speaker 5 (21:07):
I know what?

Speaker 8 (21:08):
Just a fiable homicide?

Speaker 2 (21:10):
But you you said you brought you brought my name
up and justifiable?

Speaker 1 (21:16):
But did you did you say that or not?

Speaker 8 (21:18):
Did you on the street. You don't know what it's
like out there.

Speaker 9 (21:23):
Mister, calm down, Try calm down.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Take a breath.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
What do you but you said it, you said my
name and justifiable homicide. Mark, I didn't say you were
the one that said it. And now you're upset that
I remember that you said it. Okay, I think he
I think he hung up. It did sound like he

(21:57):
was all worked up into a dizzy. I hope he's
all right.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
I didn't. I mean, I just was repeating what he
had said.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
He's so upset by that. I mean, my goodness. I
know it's not easy boxing up your stuff. But man,
all right, let's say hello to the Tuna in Laguna,
one of the great names of anyone that calls the
show Tuna in lagoona tuna. Will you be making that trap?
Will you be making the trip to the Mala meet
and greet Tuna? And I know you're a gamber.

Speaker 10 (22:25):
Two weeks later to sign up for the Circuits Survivor.

Speaker 11 (22:28):
I know, I know, yeah, I know, I know. But
show and manifested manifesting the Flarity trade in the final hour, that's.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Right without me.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
David Massey was trying to repeat the Dodgers. He was
he was trying to no, no, he was trying to
repeat the Dodger talking points. And I had to point out, no,
they had to get Jack Flairty. And they did, and
he's gonna be great.

Speaker 11 (22:53):
That was That was beautiful. It made my whole day.

Speaker 10 (22:55):
But I got to talk about metal counts quote unquot
medal counts in the Olympics. This is the most absurd
thing ever. You log into every website and US as
we're first.

Speaker 11 (23:07):
In metal counts. Are you kidding me? That's the most
Unamerican thing I've ever seen. When I look at gold medals,
I see US as seventh right now. As you always say,
the best story is in the losing locker room, and
we count third and second places.

Speaker 10 (23:22):
Since when is that american?

Speaker 11 (23:24):
That is only the most Unamerican thing ever. As far
as I'm concerned, the US is sitting in a staunch
seventh place, being destroyed by Korea, Britain, Australia, Japan, France
and China up top. I don't want to hear it
any other way. I know these guys do a lot
of hard work and putting all this effort to come
in the top three. But since when does when do

(23:46):
Americans count second and third? What makes us best is
number one? Am I wrong? I'm right?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
You tune in Laguna? Yeah, right now.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
The People's Republic of China, the eight Communists, they have
the most gold medals, they're they're right there at the top,
and they're number one.

Speaker 11 (24:05):
Regardless of whether they're cheating or not. It doesn't matter.
I don't know. Joel in Beef finished third and with
we always talk smash. We smash on Luca for losing
not winning.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Ye, no, I agree, I don't all right, all right,
what do you want to say?

Speaker 1 (24:24):
All right? Thank you. We'll be in Vegas on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
That's a couple of days away now, and don't forget Vegas.
This is only for those that attend the Mallard meeting.
There's no other way to get this. But if you
show up to the Mallard meet and greet in Vegas
on Saturday, we'll have a collectible limited edition Malord. There's
a Mallard key chain that there's only a few of
these that were made.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
We're not gonna be free, but that'd be a couple
of bucks or whatever, not that.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Much, but there'll be a limited amount of them, and
a friend of the show made them, and so we
have those available.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
That'll be on Saturday in Vague.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
So hopefully you want one of those, but there's only
a few of them, so when they're gone, they're gone.
And that's that then. And you know, if you've over
the years, I've had a few things that we've made
and T shirts and whatever, and there's a limited number
and when we're done, we're done. So the US has
five gold medals if my math is correct, So we
only have three more than Canada.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
That's not I love our friends in Canada, but that's
that's not great, right, it's not good. We only have
four more than Sweden.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
It is the Ben Mahlord Show. Kazakistan has a gold medal,
they only have We're only four ahead of them.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
We have done.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
They have one, Croatia's got one, Guatemala's got one gold medal.

Speaker 5 (25:46):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
A pre fun fact fun fact from our friend Tim
mcdarby on the X Machine. Ben Clayton Kershaw streak of
four and twenty three regular season starts with at least
one strikeout came to an end on Wednesday. It was
the longest streak since the mound was at its current distance.
They moved it.

Speaker 8 (26:10):
That is.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
That is a great fun fact. I'm so glad that
I used it for the instant trivia last hour.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Appreciate that that's not a fun fact, though it'stan trivia
fun fact. Two completely separate things.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Tell me you're not listening without telling me you're now,
that's fair. I'm maybe I didn't do the store the
right way.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
It's possible, it's conceivable that I didn't give it the
right way.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
People are listing at different hours. We're want it's such
a great fun fact. We wanted to bring it up
again thirty minutes later.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
But that's fine.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yes, sir, I got you, I got you, all right. Well,
I have the real fun fact of the hour. Here's
the real fun.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Fun fact.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
There are two teams, two teams that have not won
a series since the All Star Break.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
One of them is obviously the White Sox. They've lost
every game.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
The other the Philadelphia Phillies. And what is going on?
Here's a bonus fun fact. What is going on with
Bryce Harper? Bryce Harper in the month of July, which
is now over, we're in August, hit one sixty one
in July, the worst batting average through any calendar month

(27:17):
as a major league player. This is the worst Bryce
Harper has ever hit for a month in his big
league career. And the Fighting Phills are falling apart, no
longer the top team in baseball. And there is panic
in the Delaware Valley. And that the fun fact of there. Well,
not if you're in Philadelphia, per se, not really a

(27:40):
fun fact.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
But for the rest of us, it's, oh joy, it's
a little bump in the road. These are the dog days.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
The Dodgers can't win a game right now, either, lost
back to back to the lowly Padres. I know Poppy's
excited somewhere, even though he got his picked completely wrong.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
He screwed up the pick. In fact, I here's another
fun fact. The bonus fun fat, Ben malor fun fact.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
All right, so the San Diego Padres have gone. It
was almost fifteen years twenty twenty ten was the last
time the Padres won a season series.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Think about that.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
That's fourteen years ago the last time the Padres won
a season series. And the Dodgers, which might explain why
every time the Potters beat the Dodgers, all of San
Diego that's at the game celebrates like they've just won
the championship. So the greatest thing, in fact, they have
a trophy case there the Padres. They have the win
over the Dodgers in the wild card thing, that's in

(28:35):
the trophy case.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
They've got that right there. It is the.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Ben Mahlord Show as we roll on, and we are

Speaker 2 (29:45):
The questions to be cool a loop. You can still
get questions in hashtag ask Ben. Hashtag ask Ben. I
still see questions coming in the last minute. But let's
get over to the Kooper loop.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
All right, We're gonna start off with a question the
King Rory. He wants to know what's the best kind
of gum.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Well, when I was a kid, I used to go
to this place called Toys r Us and they had
the fruit stripe gum and I love that. That was
my go to gum. All the different flavors of gum.
So that was as a child. That's what I love.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
I don't really chew gum as an adult, so I was.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
I guess that I was a double Mint guy for
a while, but then I stopped.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
What about you, Eddie.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
H back of the day. I used to like juicy fruits.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, also Big League two, I had that for a
while when I was a kid.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Yeah, big League two was big. I would think like
the was like Hubba Bubba or bubbashes were kind of
the ones that seemed like they lasted the longest. The
flavor I do. Actually, we take we always have gum
when we go to Disneyland.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Like you're a gum guy because he keeps you from eating.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Well no, but it's like you know you don't want to.
It's so expensive to buy a soda at Disneyland. If
you're kind of a little bit thirsty, just you have
pump some gum in there. He'll take care of me
for a little while.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Oh okay, well life hack Lorrain. Who all goes to Disneyland?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
You groofy people.

Speaker 12 (31:02):
Yeah, I'm I don't choow a lot of gum, but
I do like Doubleman, like that classic green doublemint gum.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
I guess just when it comes to the gum.

Speaker 7 (31:12):
Yeah, so nostalgic. I love that flavor.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
All right, what about you, Koople Loup, what's your go
to gum?

Speaker 4 (31:18):
I'd say probably five gums. Like I don't choo a
lot of gum either, but if I, if I do,
that's probably.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
It's called five gum. Yes, I never heard of it.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
The number five.

Speaker 7 (31:27):
It's supposed to last the longest.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
It doesn't last pretty long. That's a marketing slogan, so
it works.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
But anyway, what is next is ask Ben your questions
are answers or the rest of the hour?

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Rob in the three two one, he wants to know
what is your high game in bowling?

Speaker 1 (31:47):
I'm bowled in years either. I didn't get a perfect game,
but I was like too off of a perfect game.
I had a couple of screw ups back in the day.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
What does too off mean?

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Got It's like muscle memory once you learn how to
like roll the ball, and I couldn't do it. Now
because I was young, but we should go bowling with
my parents or whatever. And then eventually I just stopped
bowling and played video games at the ARCADEO the bowling ally,
but yeah, it's pretty good. For a while I was,
what about you, Eddie, I've been in the load two
hundreds a couple of times.

Speaker 3 (32:33):

in the load two hundreds.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
All right?

Speaker 1 (32:38):
What about you? Lorraina?

Speaker 12 (32:40):
Well, I don't know if you guys deserve to know this,
but I'm a professional bowler, well the professional user of
the bumpers, so I get I get pretty good scores.

Speaker 7 (32:51):
I don't actually keep talking by that. Yeah, with the
with the bumpers, Yes.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Isn't that for children? As though they do little kids?

Speaker 7 (32:58):
It helps me draw on the lines, Eddie.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Okay, we should have a bowling night.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
I'd beat all of you.

Speaker 7 (33:05):
Because when I gave ideas, no one wants to do it.
So yay Ben Saturday.

some of the fans of the show, we're gonna have
an after party.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
What's next. Fird Dog wants to know.

Speaker 4 (33:46):

against Del Taco, but there's like ten different fast food places.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
That are better than Del Taco.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
So that's a joke, and that's a bogus list, and
that's why lists suck, and and that whole thing blows
like raising canes puts them to shame.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
I'm not a huge as big.

Speaker 2 (34:13):

don't need to camp. Okay, I'm good. So I like
going to the outdoors, but I like going back to
my hotel room, so I do not. I do not

(36:44):
camp as an adult.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Fortunately, my wife has no interest in camping either, so
