Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one of the
original Recipe podcast. A programming note, The weekend begins for
us today after you're done listening to this hour and
then all four hours of the radio show that we
recorded overnight in the podcast format. Don't forget another podcast.
(00:22):
Oh my god, you're two out five hours of content.
Unbelieve the fifth hour podcast. And this is the only
podcast that has a travelog with the stinking Genius. My
tails of a trip to Vermont, How I almost died
on my way to see the stinking genius. Armie Span
(00:42):
your my colleague here at Fox Sports Radio. We'll go
over some of the things that took place there on
that little sojouran. So if you want to hear that
and some other tales from the road, that'll be coming
up today, and we'll have some other podcasts over the weekend.
But here in hour number one, Drake May receiving critical
for the Patriots in a practice game practice game number two.
(01:04):
What is your initial review of May's performance? Also, Giants
quarterback Daniel Jones dog mentality is winning over teammates coaches
as well. How do you feel about that? Moniker dog mentality?
And we are told the Vikings want Stefan Gilmore to sign.
It's up to him to say yes. How much does
(01:25):
he have left? We'll get to that as well. All
of it's coming your way right now here. It is
our number A Patsy Paradise. If you will welcome in
the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show.
We are in the air eywhere as we are waddling,
(01:50):
and we say carb loading is always encouraged late at night,
coast to coast, order the order and beyond on the

from Charleston who set up boots on the ground the
(02:36):
Malor meet and greet we did in the South earlier
this year and he got ten thousand compliments and Rifley
so should have gotten more than ten thousand compliments for that.
But let's get into it our lead this hour from
Foxborough as we continue our in depth team coverage about
practice football thirty miles south of Boston, give or take
(03:00):
twenty one miles north of Providence the Island Life an
Island game on Thursday night, preseason exhibition, however you want
to call it, doesn't matter if you watch this or not.
I had it on now, I'm gonna tell you right now.
Was I obsessing over this? Now? I was not not
(03:21):
obsessing over this, but I had it on in the background,
and I was putting some things together for the show,
and then I'd look up and then I look down.
And that's how I watched. But we watched it more
than you probably did, so you would not have to
the outcome of the game irrelevant. The story is the
individual storyline, the narrative, and it's all about new faces,
(03:44):
some new faces or old faces and new places. Other
just new faces and new places. Like for example, he's
a rookie quarterback, Drake May. He ran for a touchdown,
and if you want to be optimistic, he led the
Patriots to two of the teams three scoring jobs. So
though the other one a field goal, and that was
(04:05):
on Thursday night. The Patriots of course lost, they were
good at that. The Eagles won by one point fourteen
to thirteen. But the talking point for our purposes is
about the number three overall pick of the draft, the
North Carolina quarterback who hardly played this was in one
(04:26):
series in the preseason openers. They tried to hide him
in week one against Carolina of the practice season, and
then he came out and played here a decent amount,
decent amount in this game, in this game right here,
and the general conversation I think I'm on the pulse
(04:46):
of the people here picked up by social media, is
a lot of pats on the back, that boy, good
job by you, that kind of thing. So let us
discuss Drake May. I want to say this is measured,
but Drake May received more positive than negative critical acclaim
(05:07):
for the Patriots here in this practice game number two.
So what is your initial review? So, with all due respect,
I'm gonna go first and you can chime in later.
I've got the butcher shop, pet Smart and George Washington,
and we will combine all of these things together and
(05:29):
we are going to make some poutine that is a
Canadian salad. It's my favorite salad. If I had known
about it when I was a kid, I would have
eaten a lot of salad. But yeah, all right, so
a the stat line shows that Drake May played the
second and third quarters of this game. Jacoby Brissett started
the game, and it was fascinating. Normally you don't watch
(05:52):
a guy vomit all over themselves in the game, but
he did. He looked like Hunter Green or the Reds.
But Drake May is the talking point here he played
the second and third quarter. Is he only attempt at
eleven passes. He was six for eleven, which isn't great
for forty seven yards, which also isn't great. The the
bar was pretty low. The bar was pretty low. The
(06:13):
adjective that has been tossed about here regarding Drake May
was one word, the a word, not that one. The
other a word athleticism. So with that and many pumping up,
oh man, the Patriots haven't had an athletic quarterback. Quarterback
like this is forever andever whatever, going on and on
and on, dismissing everyone who's played quarterback for the Patriot,
(06:37):
which is mostly Tom Brady, which who's not athletic. But
we take that commentary with a grain of salt. In
the immortal words of a very brief Fox Sports Radio
alumnus Dennis Green, Now, if you want to crown him,
then crown their ass. But he is who we thought
he was. And I watched this and I was like, Okay,
(07:00):
he completed a few passes, they were short passes. He
ran for a touchdown. Drake May, he's a neophyte in
the butcher shop lingo. This guy is a skirt steak,
not undercooked raw. Right, of course he's athletic. Spoiler alert,
spoiler alert. He was drafted number three overall based on
(07:25):
the measurables he played at North Carolina. You draft basketball
players at North Carolina. You don't draft football players at
North Carolina. NFL teams last I checked, are not Google, right,
you don't take Poindexter at number three. No, the way
it works, I think we all know this. The biggest,
(07:47):
strongest and fastest, the most athletic players get picked at
the top, and then it trickles down to everyone else
but New England. I know I'm not gonna win this battle,
but New England really should just play Drake May all
year and I don't even think he's that good. But
I know that Jacoby Brissett is an albatross. Right. The
(08:10):
jury has reached a verdict. Every man, woman and child
knows that if Jacoby Brissett is your starting quarterback, you
are in a very bad place, a very bad place,
all right now. Page two. Next stop, we head to
the New York Tri State area where Giants quarterback Daniel Jones,
(08:33):
his quote dog mentality is said to be winning over
teammates headlines. I was reading about this this week, Daniel Jones,
who's on the hot seat with the Giants, but he's
winning over his teammates and the coaching staff there. So
how do you feel about that, Moniker, that Daniel Jones
has that dog mentality? I want dog, No cats, no
(08:58):
kidd of cats, I want DoLS. So when I read this,
I immediately thought, okay, so this must be butt crack sports.
This must be the usual suspects sports talk, Barry the
Babylon Beast, something like that. Then I looked at it again.
I said, well, now this seems to be legit. So
(09:19):
then I puked in my mouth. A dog mentality that
is counterintuitive is what that is? It's it is it's
counterintuitive to say that you talk about up selling Danny
Dimes should be a brand ambassador over at pet Smart.
And we know he's not a bulldog. We know he's
not a pit bull. Vanillavic is a If he's a dog,
(09:42):
he's a chihuahuah covered in insects, covered in fleece. Go
go to pet Smart and get a flea bath and
knock yourself out. All right now, last word here we
head to Minnesota the roster shuffle. You know things are
not going well in your career when you're still available
(10:04):
and you're looking for work and you're an NFL player
that you can't even be a waste of space and
training camp, that's not a good sign. I bring this
up because they had a face to face pow wow
earlier this week. Who's they that would be a defensive
back of some name value. We know who this guy is.
We are told the Vikings they want veterans Stefond Gilmore.
(10:29):
They would like to have him on the team. However,
it's up to him to say yes. They've made the
offer they proposed. They would like to have a short
term fling a relationship here with a pre nup and
it's up to him to say yes. And so how
much does he have left? How much does Stefan Gilmore
have left? So here's how I would describe this, and
(10:53):
I don't think this is the wrong way to describe it.
It's my it's my example. The clock is a ticking.
So let's let's look at this like iPhones. Stefan Gilmore
is an iPhone five in an iPhone fifteen pro world.
He started playing pro ball in twenty twelve, so he's
(11:16):
old tech. He turns thirty four early in the NFL season.
As we always put the qualifier, thirty four is not
old in the real world, but in sports it's old.
It's old. He's played twelve years, one hundred and sixty
five games. The wear and tear has gone gone there.
You know. It's one of these things where you turn
to George Washington, you get the quarter out, you know
(11:38):
that test you're supposed to you take the quarter or
a penny. You know, I do the TV show. I
have done the TV show with the penny. We'll see
if that comes back. But you get you get out
a quarter and you put it in the tire and
then if you see the top of George Washington's head there.
It's time to go to tire rack dot com right
by some new tires. It's fair to say that it's
(12:01):
probably your time for some new tires. It is. But
desperate times call for desperate measures. As the line goes,
and the Minnesota Vikings clearly have a shortness, a supply
chain shortage of defensive help in the secondary. So they
would like to have mister Kilmore come to town and
(12:21):
he can have all the juicy lucy's he wants and
knock himself out. It is the Ben Mallard Shelby like
to comment on any of that. You are more than
welcome to join us here. These speak easy rules are
in effect. We will have a newbie night though next
week by request, but we'll get back to the madness
of it all with the normal festive us lame jokes
(12:43):
are coming up later on. That'll be an hour number
three and we'll have the Koop Scoop on entertainment, an
hour four Sports Jeopardy as well, all of that down
the line. Mallard of the third degree, So it's a
big night if you're with us, all four hours should
be a smooth flight. Don't think there'll be too much turbulence.
Maybe an hour or two, there'll be a little turbulence
and we'll get around that and and we'll be good.
(13:05):
So make sure your seatbelt are fastened.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
All right.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Anyway, we'll press on here. If you want to be

your comments on the air. Just follow me, follow me

and we will do it next.

Eddie Garcia, your humble sidekick, the voice of reason, your
news guy, you're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox
(15:00):
from the tirerac dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's
Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Great audio. Well we think it's great. I will play
it in a minute. Interesting scene though, tonight at the
Into It Dome. You hear about this, Eddie. They opened
up the Intoit Dome.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I did not hear about this.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
In the hood in Inglewood, Bruno Mars performed at the event.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I did hear that. Yeah, he was going to be
the opening act.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, with all those beautiful yurinos. But there was a
problem on opening night at the Into It Dome.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I actually believe that Steve Bomber should be ripped for
this because it's so stupid. The arena and I don't
know how this played out. I just know that I
was getting reports that about within like ten minutes of
the concert beginning for the Clippers new arenas called the
Into It Domes World Class Arena. The app which you
(15:59):
need to get into the arena it is required for
entry crashed. Oh no, which normally would not be a
problem because you have a backup option, right, you could
use a ticket or you know cash, No.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Do they give tickets anymore?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Well, here's the thing. The arena is not only ticketless,
but it's cashless, so there is no way, there's no
backup plan. Oh boy, And so everything it crashed, and
there was there were thousands of people outside of the arena.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
And the there's I guess one main entrance and the
the some of the video of people waiting trying to
get in, and that's really on Balmer and and and
we see this a lot, you know in sports. I
remember a couple weeks ago we were on the air
while there was a global outage of the Internet, uh,
and everything was off. I mean is way I don't
go deep state conspiracy guyetdie, but we're way too dependent
(16:52):
on credit cards and apps and h not having a
backup plan. And so this this is a good lesson.
I hope that Balmer will realize that, Yeah, it's great
to go, you know, a cash list and all that,
but you got to have it as an option. You
can't completely dismiss it because technology is gonna blow you away.
(17:14):
Nobody else has this take. Technology doesn't always work. They're
glitches sometimes, like I do a show from the remote studio.
Sometimes there's gremlins that attack. It happens, So like, what
are you doing? Like, seriously, what are you doing? I
don't know how that played. We're on in LA, so
maybe somebody was out there and can give us an
(17:36):
eyewitness report, boots on the ground on how it all
played out. Jason writes in There in Kansas City says
nine out of ten on the opening Mallar monologue, Ben,
do you think the NFL can somehow make teams play
starters for at least a series. The Eagles started the
game with Kenny Pickett and no other skill players playing. Yeah,
(17:56):
they had a bunch of backups. And that's That's the
other thing. I should have mentioned that monologue, Jason, that
the quarterback for the Patriots, Jacoby Brissett, who was just
terrible at the start of the game, was going against
the B squad and Drake May was going against B
and C squad players and he didn't look all that
great against those guys. So it's not a not a
(18:18):
perfect situation, late night drug tester, since I heard Drake
May has requested the Patriots hire the Chargers trainer that
helped Justin Herbert start his career. Very funny, very funny
Yaphimi in Chicago, says Malor a plus and some North
Carolina barbecue on the monologue, Drake May might actually be
(18:38):
dot dot dot Mitchell Trubisky. Both are North Carolina pre
draft type jobs.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, that is something that has changed in my lifetime.
I have seen multiple quarterbacks who were pegged to go
in the fourth or fifth or sixth round who were
polished and propped up and ended up going in the
first round, some number one. Overall, it's wild, It's absolutely wild,
(19:08):
Shannon mone writes in he says Angryville has his place
on radio and a bed waiting for him in the
psych word, right next to sir scratch off. Wow, all right,
shots fired? What else we have? Page down? Page downs?
That can't I think I can read that one on
the air and the radio. Friendly Chris says Bruno Mars.
(19:30):
What a great get for the Clippers. That is wonderful.
I can't wait to check out that arena. Well, it
is a beautiful arena, Chris, and I can understand why
you try to get out there. I know you don't
live in La, but it's probably worth a trip. It's
better than any arena you have in your town without that.
So let's get We have good audio. Let's not waste
anyone's time here. This is amazing audio.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I'm really pumping the tires on this. There is nothing
in sport more meaningless than in game interviews. Can we
all agree on that? Can we all agree there is
nothing that is more useless than the in game interview.
The coaches and players don't want to do it. They
are a waste of time. At their very best, you
(20:11):
get nothing but cliches. At the worst, you don't even
get that. Yeah, once in a blue moon you get
something that is mildly amusing, but it's normally amusing because
of something that went haywire like this. I'll take awkward
NFL interviews for one thousand, Alex. We present to you
(20:34):
the Patriots television feed of their practice game against the
Philadelphia Eagles. The sideline eye candy for the Patriots is
a gentleman named Steve Burton. So Burton's on the sidelines.
I'm gonna set this up for you. So Burton is
interviewing Remandre Stevenson. That's a running back with a good name.
He's been around for a few years.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
We know who he is.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
So Steve Burton, the Patriots sideline guy being paid by
the team, is interviewing Ramondre Stevenson and things when a
little whacky. Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
I got to ask you about the guy who just left.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
How much are they going to miss.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Him and who's going to step up in his place?
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Yeah, I'm miss Bill. That was one of my favorite coaches.
But you know, Mayo is a he's a great leader.
He knows what he's doing with us. And yeah, I'm
excited for Mayo and I think we get it down
with him.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I was just talking about name. We're talking about he's
moving on to better place.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Uh huh, Yeah, excited, he's a different place, a different place.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Excited for him.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
You know, he has a couple more years in him,
so I'm excited for him.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
All right, Uh, that is wonderful. Let's break that down
frame by frames of Bruder film style. So he starts out,
this is always annoying. And this used to happen a
lot the people that like the writers. I don't know
Burton's a writer. I don't much about the guy. But
a lot of media people they don't like to say names.
They have generic questions. Like he said the guy who
(22:10):
just left. He didn't say who it was. Belichick left
a wild so it was rather obvious he was talking
about Matthew Judon, who was traded this week to the
Atlanta Falcons. But he didn't say any because said, hey, uh,
I want your thoughts on Matthew Judon. He just left.
He didn't say that though, He just said the guy
who left, and clearly Remandre Stevenson wasn't paying attention because
(22:33):
he then ranted about Bill Belichick, which was which was wonderful,
just absolutely wonderful. And then and then he clarified he said, well,
I actually met Matthew Judon. And then Burton, who again
is being paid by the Patriots, says on the Patriots
podcast that Matthew Judon is moving to a better place.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
That is, so.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
He's not he's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
That's the best part of the SoundBite. The first part,
you can you can kind of forgive him because I'm
sure he gets asked about Belichick all the time and
so like that's his you know. But but the second.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Part, like.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Moving on to if how was the Lakers, he'd be fired.
Uh yeah, if he asked to leave.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Leave it an.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Orderly man, man and get all your stuff. Oh man,
all right. Cowboy Drew says, I might be high, but
not as high as a cowboy writing a fish AI
is a hell of a drug, A fer dog writes
in the Mayor of Fullerton. He says, I'll take no
(23:53):
lines for the bathroom over a working cashless system, he
he points out. Chris writes back he loved the Clippers
opening up their arena with Bruno Mars. He says, I'm
from Kettering, Ohio. I didn't realize that, Chris, we have
arenas that can hold the Kettering Banjo Society and their crowds. Yeah,
(24:13):
but Dick and Dayton has said that he doesn't really
do much with the Kettering Banjo Society. Too many members
have died. They're not enough people there. So why don't
you join Chris the Kettering Banjo Society and help the
Dixter out.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Now?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Come on, he needs help. The band is not doing
well right now. Art Puffin writes, and he says, three
out of three Michelin stars and in order of your
favorite high end dish. On the opening mallet monologue, Robert
Griffin the Third says FSU was left off the college
football Playoff chip game because their starting quarterback fractured his ankle.
(24:50):
That's not something to make light of. I saw Robert
Griffin the Third got got whacked from his TV job.
How will television go on without having Robert Griffin Third
on TV?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Ben Mahler is very excited to let you know that
the WNBA is back from the Olympic break in the
gay Ben malers Hands selected game of the night. Liberty
beat the Sparks one O three to eighty six. New
York the best team in the league at twenty two
and four and fresh offer gold medal in Paris. Breonna
Stewart led the way with twenty seven points. Ben is
(25:31):
very excited about that. He's also very excited about a
John Madden movie that apparently is in the works.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Did you see this?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Our friend I did see this? Our friend Tim said
this along on social media. Nicholas Cage reportedly will portray
John Madden in a bio movie about the former NFL coach, broadcaster,
and as you mentioned, best known for his video game
that came out as well. So sorry if I spoiled that.
In Kop Scoop on Entertainment, I don't think I die.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
It's all.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It's all right. It's a four hour show at it's
no one listening. I will be listening an hour four
and I have some thoughts. I'm I like Nicholas Cage.
Who does anyone hate him? Are there people that hate
Nicholas Cage. I don't think so well.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
He's he could be a little over the top sometimes,
but all in all, I think he's a fine actor.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, but I love that, isn't he the he's related
to what's the uh the famous producer, Yeah, fran Francis
Ford Coppola. But he changed his name to Cage for
the for the Hollywood thing, Yeah, what's Yeah, because he
wants he didn't want to just because if you have that,
(26:34):
if you want with that. People say it's like if
Joe Buck had changed his name to uh, you know,
you know, Joe Bubkiss, it would have been different. But
he took you know, he took his dad's you know,
it was his family name, and people his entire career
still like you got the job because your dad, you know,
you can't really say that. What is his signature Nicholas Cage?
(26:55):
Was it like leaving Las Vegas or something? What is
the signature Nicholas Cage movie? I think that's gotta be
it for that, yes, yeah, all right, okay, I'm trying
to what he's been in. He's been in movies since
like the early like forty years. He's been in in movies.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Mark told me he loved him in face Off.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Uh anyway, all right, we'll find whatever. And now well
I'll talk more about that. And John Madden, he is
truly immortal. He's been dead for years and they're making
a movie about him. And guys like me and Eddie
that was there's nobody bigger than John Madden as a
broadcaster back in the day. I did want to mention
this though, the the shakeup over there in Bristol, he
(27:39):
got rid of RG three and Sam Ponder was also
let go, and I actually ended up getting into a
social media ker fluffle with Sam Ponder because of this show.
Because of the show, So the backstory on that she
was fired by ESPN. So for her, she lost her job,
(28:00):
we all lose her job. But years ago she was
at the time dating Christian Ponder, who was the Viking
quarterback and was terrible. He sucked right, He was a
suckbag quarterback for the Vikings, and so being on in
Minnesota all these years and having a lot of Viking fans,
they would send jokes in about Christian Ponder. And then
(28:25):
we also had the Viking play by play guy who
went on a rant. Remember it was a drop that
we played if you've been with the show a long time,
you know, why would you even ponder passing? When he
threw a terrible, terrible pass that was intercepted and so
that became a drop on the show, and so we
had that, and anyway, guys would write jokes about Christian
(28:48):
Ponder and I don't know that Sam Ponder was a listener,
but she found out about it, and she blocked me
and got you know, got upset with me on what
was called Twitter at the time. And there were other
people that were listeners that got blocked as well because
of the Joe a little sensitive, little sensitive. So again,
(29:08):
I don't know how TV is gonna go on without
Sam Ponder and RG three. It's going to be going
to be difficult. I think they'll try to survive. I
hope they I hope they make it. You know, I
don't know that they're gonna make it, but I hope
they make it. Yeah, hope. So Cowboy Killers is the

I know that's the kind of content you want on

this off. I was the first player in NFL history
of score rushing, receiving and kickoff return touchdowns in a
playoff game. Who am I? What say you? Eddie?
Speaker 5 (36:57):
Former Atlanta Falcons legend Billy might choose Johnson.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
It's a great name, but not a great answer. That's incorrect.
The correct answer from your New England Patriots. So long ago.
The Patriots were actually in the playoffs running back Dion Lewis.
But be back in twenty seventeen. He did it against
the Texans, so I guess that kind of counts. I mean,
they're kind of an NFL team. Let's speak of Houston.
(37:22):
Here's a blast in the past. The guy that left us,
he sold out for the day shift. Chris in Houston. Hello, Christopher, welcome.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Who what twelve?
Speaker 7 (37:31):
Oh? Man? Forgetting old man.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
I know we're all getting No, you don't know if
you don't know Chris in Houston's work. By the way, Chris,
there's a guy that called up when the astros cheating
scandal was broken and said, oh, it's all it's all
deep fakes. It's all fake, it's not real. Live from
the den of inequity right there.
Speaker 7 (37:51):
It's okay, we want another one and we're inevitable, just
as man.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
I'm looking here, I don't see any championships. I don't
any none.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
Yeah, because you need some glasses, you know, you did,
you know yours get bad? But I know how.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Yeah, I'm looking. I'm looking right now. Hold on, I know, Chris,
I'm on the Baseball reference page for the as one
thousand two, one thousand holes and I see there's a
buzzer and then there's a whistle, so I see that,
and oh wait, there's a trash can so there's also that.
Speaker 7 (38:22):
Yeah, whatever, whatever, So I didn't want to send my
flowers out. You know, Congrats to Andre Johnson first ever
Haulli final for the Texans, you know, bung growl. You know,
congrats to the Clippers for finally getting out of the
basement of the staple slash Crypto slash.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Anymore, leaving skid row that's right.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yes, yes, to the hood.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
You're going to leave a skid row to go to
the hood to get some people to get robbed. I mean,
you know, but.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
The property values are going up in Inglewood, so that's
would be.
Speaker 7 (38:55):
Putting up a banner for being in the final four
of the NBA. I didn't know they had that.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
But you know, listen to Steve Balmer, the richest man
in all the professional sports. He he loves fans. Unlike
your owner and the Lakers owner, every fan gets their
own urinal How great is that? You know how much
the Clippers are going to spend on urinal cakes?
Speaker 7 (39:16):
And see, I mean because you're gonna spend more on
ural cakes than championships anyway. So I mean you gotta
spend it off time.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
All right? All right, well are you off from You
must be offrom you must be on vacation.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
You're calling gratulate the people who block the four five.
I mean, that's congratulations, blood freaking freeway.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Well, there's no there's no way to get more people
to hate your whatever your cause is, than causing them
to miss work, causing them to miss you know, things
they have to do in their lives. Uh, you will,
whatever your cause is, you will immediately get people. Even
if they were neutral or they they didn't care, maybe
they even supported you, they will go to the other side.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
I will guarantee you something matter if I get off,
because I know y'all got to go out next time,
I'll be out there. She'll be surely I'll be next year,
so I don't know. We really want to get back,
so I will come in a studio.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Are you you're inviting yourself. You're inviting yourself. You know
that's not how it works that you're like that. You
can't you have to ask. You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Who does that?
Speaker 1 (40:17):
You don't invite yourself? You know the kind of security
that we have here, Nobody can just walk into our
building and like God,
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one of the
original Recipe podcast. A programming note, The weekend begins for
us today after you're done listening to this hour and
then all four hours of the radio show that we
recorded overnight in the podcast format. Don't forget another podcast.
(00:22):
Oh my god, you're two out five hours of content.
Unbelieve the fifth hour podcast. And this is the only
podcast that has a travelog with the stinking Genius. My
tails of a trip to Vermont, How I almost died
on my way to see the stinking genius. Armie Span
(00:42):
your my colleague here at Fox Sports Radio. We'll go
over some of the things that took place there on
that little sojouran. So if you want to hear that
and some other tales from the road, that'll be coming
up today, and we'll have some other podcasts over the weekend.
But here in hour number one, Drake May receiving critical
for the Patriots in a practice game practice game number two.
(01:04):
What is your initial review of May's performance? Also, Giants
quarterback Daniel Jones dog mentality is winning over teammates coaches
as well. How do you feel about that? Moniker dog mentality?
And we are told the Vikings want Stefan Gilmore to sign.
It's up to him to say yes. How much does
(01:25):
he have left? We'll get to that as well. All
of it's coming your way right now here. It is
our number A Patsy Paradise. If you will welcome in
the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show.

from Charleston who set up boots on the ground the

Malor meet and greet we did in the South earlier
this year and he got ten thousand compliments and Rifley
so should have gotten more than ten thousand compliments for that.
But let's get into it our lead this hour from
Foxborough as we continue our in depth team coverage about
practice football thirty miles south of Boston, give or take
(03:00):
twenty one miles north of Providence the Island Life an
Island game on Thursday night, preseason exhibition, however you want
to call it, doesn't matter if you watch this or not.
I had it on now, I'm gonna tell you right now.
Was I obsessing over this? Now? I was not not
(03:21):
obsessing over this, but I had it on in the background,
and I was putting some things together for the show,
and then I'd look up and then I look down.
And that's how I watched. But we watched it more
than you probably did, so you would not have to
the outcome of the game irrelevant. The story is the
individual storyline, the narrative, and it's all about new faces,
(03:44):
some new faces or old faces and new places. Other
just new faces and new places. Like for example, he's
a rookie quarterback, Drake May. He ran for a touchdown,
and if you want to be optimistic, he led the
Patriots to two of the teams three scoring jobs. So
though the other one a field goal, and that was
(04:05):
on Thursday night. The Patriots of course lost, they were
good at that. The Eagles won by one point fourteen
to thirteen. But the talking point for our purposes is
about the number three overall pick of the draft, the
North Carolina quarterback who hardly played this was in one
(04:26):
series in the preseason openers. They tried to hide him
in week one against Carolina of the practice season, and
then he came out and played here a decent amount,
decent amount in this game, in this game right here,
and the general conversation I think I'm on the pulse
(04:46):
of the people here picked up by social media, is
a lot of pats on the back, that boy, good
job by you, that kind of thing. So let us
discuss Drake May. I want to say this is measured,
but Drake May received more positive than negative critical acclaim
(05:07):
for the Patriots here in this practice game number two.
So what is your initial review? So, with all due respect,
I'm gonna go first and you can chime in later.
I've got the butcher shop, pet Smart and George Washington,
and we will combine all of these things together and
(05:29):
we are going to make some poutine that is a
Canadian salad. It's my favorite salad. If I had known
about it when I was a kid, I would have
eaten a lot of salad. But yeah, all right, so
a the stat line shows that Drake May played the
second and third quarters of this game. Jacoby Brissett started
the game, and it was fascinating. Normally you don't watch
(05:52):
a guy vomit all over themselves in the game, but
he did. He looked like Hunter Green or the Reds.
But Drake May is the talking point here he played
the second and third quarter. Is he only attempt at
eleven passes. He was six for eleven, which isn't great
for forty seven yards, which also isn't great. The the
bar was pretty low. The bar was pretty low. The
(06:13):
adjective that has been tossed about here regarding Drake May
was one word, the a word, not that one. The
other a word athleticism. So with that and many pumping up,
oh man, the Patriots haven't had an athletic quarterback. Quarterback
like this is forever andever whatever, going on and on
and on, dismissing everyone who's played quarterback for the Patriot,
(06:37):
which is mostly Tom Brady, which who's not athletic. But
we take that commentary with a grain of salt. In
the immortal words of a very brief Fox Sports Radio
alumnus Dennis Green, Now, if you want to crown him,
then crown their ass. But he is who we thought
he was. And I watched this and I was like, Okay,
(07:00):
he completed a few passes, they were short passes. He
ran for a touchdown. Drake May, he's a neophyte in
the butcher shop lingo. This guy is a skirt steak,
not undercooked raw. Right, of course he's athletic. Spoiler alert,
spoiler alert. He was drafted number three overall based on
(07:25):
the measurables he played at North Carolina. You draft basketball
players at North Carolina. You don't draft football players at
North Carolina. NFL teams last I checked, are not Google, right,
you don't take Poindexter at number three. No, the way
it works, I think we all know this. The biggest,
(07:47):
strongest and fastest, the most athletic players get picked at
the top, and then it trickles down to everyone else
but New England. I know I'm not gonna win this battle,
but New England really should just play Drake May all
year and I don't even think he's that good. But
I know that Jacoby Brissett is an albatross. Right. The
(08:10):
jury has reached a verdict. Every man, woman and child
knows that if Jacoby Brissett is your starting quarterback, you
are in a very bad place, a very bad place,
all right now. Page two. Next stop, we head to
the New York Tri State area where Giants quarterback Daniel Jones,
(08:33):
his quote dog mentality is said to be winning over
teammates headlines. I was reading about this this week, Daniel Jones,
who's on the hot seat with the Giants, but he's
winning over his teammates and the coaching staff there. So
how do you feel about that, Moniker, that Daniel Jones
has that dog mentality? I want dog, No cats, no
(08:58):
kidd of cats, I want DoLS. So when I read this,
I immediately thought, okay, so this must be butt crack sports.
This must be the usual suspects sports talk, Barry the
Babylon Beast, something like that. Then I looked at it again.
I said, well, now this seems to be legit. So
(09:19):
then I puked in my mouth. A dog mentality that
is counterintuitive is what that is? It's it is it's
counterintuitive to say that you talk about up selling Danny
Dimes should be a brand ambassador over at pet Smart.
And we know he's not a bulldog. We know he's
not a pit bull. Vanillavic is a If he's a dog,
(09:42):
he's a chihuahuah covered in insects, covered in fleece. Go
go to pet Smart and get a flea bath and
knock yourself out. All right now, last word here we
head to Minnesota the roster shuffle. You know things are
not going well in your career when you're still available
(10:04):
and you're looking for work and you're an NFL player
that you can't even be a waste of space and
training camp, that's not a good sign. I bring this
up because they had a face to face pow wow
earlier this week. Who's they that would be a defensive
back of some name value. We know who this guy is.
We are told the Vikings they want veterans Stefond Gilmore.
(10:29):
They would like to have him on the team. However,
it's up to him to say yes. They've made the
offer they proposed. They would like to have a short
term fling a relationship here with a pre nup and
it's up to him to say yes. And so how
much does he have left? How much does Stefan Gilmore
have left? So here's how I would describe this, and
(10:53):
I don't think this is the wrong way to describe it.
It's my it's my example. The clock is a ticking.
So let's let's look at this like iPhones. Stefan Gilmore
is an iPhone five in an iPhone fifteen pro world.
He started playing pro ball in twenty twelve, so he's
(11:16):
old tech. He turns thirty four early in the NFL season.
As we always put the qualifier, thirty four is not
old in the real world, but in sports it's old.
It's old. He's played twelve years, one hundred and sixty
five games. The wear and tear has gone gone there.
You know. It's one of these things where you turn
to George Washington, you get the quarter out, you know
(11:38):
that test you're supposed to you take the quarter or
a penny. You know, I do the TV show. I
have done the TV show with the penny. We'll see
if that comes back. But you get you get out
a quarter and you put it in the tire and
then if you see the top of George Washington's head there.
It's time to go to tire rack dot com right
by some new tires. It's fair to say that it's
(12:01):
probably your time for some new tires. It is. But
desperate times call for desperate measures. As the line goes,
and the Minnesota Vikings clearly have a shortness, a supply
chain shortage of defensive help in the secondary. So they
would like to have mister Kilmore come to town and
(12:21):
he can have all the juicy lucy's he wants and
knock himself out. It is the Ben Mallard Shelby like
to comment on any of that. You are more than
welcome to join us here. These speak easy rules are
in effect. We will have a newbie night though next
week by request, but we'll get back to the madness
of it all with the normal festive us lame jokes
(12:43):
are coming up later on. That'll be an hour number
three and we'll have the Koop Scoop on entertainment, an
hour four Sports Jeopardy as well, all of that down
the line. Mallard of the third degree, So it's a
big night if you're with us, all four hours should
be a smooth flight. Don't think there'll be too much turbulence.
Maybe an hour or two, there'll be a little turbulence
and we'll get around that and and we'll be good.
(13:05):
So make sure your seatbelt are fastened.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
All right.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Anyway, we'll press on here. If you want to be

(15:00):
from the tirerac dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's
Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Great audio. Well we think it's great. I will play
it in a minute. Interesting scene though, tonight at the
Into It Dome. You hear about this, Eddie. They opened
up the Intoit Dome.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I did not hear about this.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
In the hood in Inglewood, Bruno Mars performed at the event.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I did hear that. Yeah, he was going to be
the opening act.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, with all those beautiful yurinos. But there was a
problem on opening night at the Into It Dome.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I actually believe that Steve Bomber should be ripped for
this because it's so stupid. The arena and I don't
know how this played out. I just know that I
was getting reports that about within like ten minutes of
the concert beginning for the Clippers new arenas called the
Into It Domes World Class Arena. The app which you
(15:59):
need to get into the arena it is required for
entry crashed. Oh no, which normally would not be a
problem because you have a backup option, right, you could
use a ticket or you know cash, No.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Do they give tickets anymore?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Well, here's the thing. The arena is not only ticketless,
but it's cashless, so there is no way, there's no
backup plan. Oh boy, And so everything it crashed, and
there was there were thousands of people outside of the arena.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
And the there's I guess one main entrance and the
the some of the video of people waiting trying to
get in, and that's really on Balmer and and and
we see this a lot, you know in sports. I
remember a couple weeks ago we were on the air
while there was a global outage of the Internet, uh,
and everything was off. I mean is way I don't
go deep state conspiracy guyetdie, but we're way too dependent
(16:52):
on credit cards and apps and h not having a
backup plan. And so this this is a good lesson.
I hope that Balmer will realize that, Yeah, it's great
to go, you know, a cash list and all that,
but you got to have it as an option. You
can't completely dismiss it because technology is gonna blow you away.
(17:14):
Nobody else has this take. Technology doesn't always work. They're
glitches sometimes, like I do a show from the remote studio.
Sometimes there's gremlins that attack. It happens, So like, what
are you doing? Like, seriously, what are you doing? I
don't know how that played. We're on in LA, so
maybe somebody was out there and can give us an
(17:36):
eyewitness report, boots on the ground on how it all
played out. Jason writes in There in Kansas City says
nine out of ten on the opening Mallar monologue, Ben,
do you think the NFL can somehow make teams play
starters for at least a series. The Eagles started the
game with Kenny Pickett and no other skill players playing. Yeah,
(17:56):
they had a bunch of backups. And that's That's the
other thing. I should have mentioned that monologue, Jason, that
the quarterback for the Patriots, Jacoby Brissett, who was just
terrible at the start of the game, was going against
the B squad and Drake May was going against B
and C squad players and he didn't look all that
great against those guys. So it's not a not a
(18:18):
perfect situation, late night drug tester, since I heard Drake
May has requested the Patriots hire the Chargers trainer that
helped Justin Herbert start his career. Very funny, very funny
Yaphimi in Chicago, says Malor a plus and some North
Carolina barbecue on the monologue, Drake May might actually be
(18:38):
dot dot dot Mitchell Trubisky. Both are North Carolina pre
draft type jobs.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, that is something that has changed in my lifetime.
I have seen multiple quarterbacks who were pegged to go
in the fourth or fifth or sixth round who were
polished and propped up and ended up going in the
first round, some number one. Overall, it's wild, It's absolutely wild,
(19:08):
Shannon mone writes in he says Angryville has his place
on radio and a bed waiting for him in the
psych word, right next to sir scratch off. Wow, all right,
shots fired? What else we have? Page down? Page downs?
That can't I think I can read that one on
the air and the radio. Friendly Chris says Bruno Mars.
(19:30):
What a great get for the Clippers. That is wonderful.
I can't wait to check out that arena. Well, it
is a beautiful arena, Chris, and I can understand why
you try to get out there. I know you don't
live in La, but it's probably worth a trip. It's
better than any arena you have in your town without that.
So let's get We have good audio. Let's not waste
anyone's time here. This is amazing audio.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I'm really pumping the tires on this. There is nothing
in sport more meaningless than in game interviews. Can we
all agree on that? Can we all agree there is
nothing that is more useless than the in game interview.
The coaches and players don't want to do it. They
are a waste of time. At their very best, you
(20:11):
get nothing but cliches. At the worst, you don't even
get that. Yeah, once in a blue moon you get
something that is mildly amusing, but it's normally amusing because
of something that went haywire like this. I'll take awkward
NFL interviews for one thousand, Alex. We present to you
(20:34):
the Patriots television feed of their practice game against the
Philadelphia Eagles. The sideline eye candy for the Patriots is
a gentleman named Steve Burton. So Burton's on the sidelines.
I'm gonna set this up for you. So Burton is
interviewing Remandre Stevenson. That's a running back with a good name.
He's been around for a few years.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
We know who he is.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
So Steve Burton, the Patriots sideline guy being paid by
the team, is interviewing Ramondre Stevenson and things when a
little whacky. Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
I got to ask you about the guy who just left.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
How much are they going to miss.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Him and who's going to step up in his place?
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Yeah, I'm miss Bill. That was one of my favorite coaches.
But you know, Mayo is a he's a great leader.
He knows what he's doing with us. And yeah, I'm
excited for Mayo and I think we get it down
with him.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I was just talking about name. We're talking about he's
moving on to better place.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Uh huh, Yeah, excited, he's a different place, a different place.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Excited for him.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
You know, he has a couple more years in him,
so I'm excited for him.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
All right, Uh, that is wonderful. Let's break that down
frame by frames of Bruder film style. So he starts out,
this is always annoying. And this used to happen a
lot the people that like the writers. I don't know
Burton's a writer. I don't much about the guy. But
a lot of media people they don't like to say names.
They have generic questions. Like he said the guy who
(22:10):
just left. He didn't say who it was. Belichick left
a wild so it was rather obvious he was talking
about Matthew Judon, who was traded this week to the
Atlanta Falcons. But he didn't say any because said, hey, uh,
I want your thoughts on Matthew Judon. He just left.
He didn't say that though, He just said the guy
who left, and clearly Remandre Stevenson wasn't paying attention because
(22:33):
he then ranted about Bill Belichick, which was which was wonderful,
just absolutely wonderful. And then and then he clarified he said, well,
I actually met Matthew Judon. And then Burton, who again
is being paid by the Patriots, says on the Patriots
podcast that Matthew Judon is moving to a better place.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
That is, so.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
He's not he's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
That's the best part of the SoundBite. The first part,
you can you can kind of forgive him because I'm
sure he gets asked about Belichick all the time and
so like that's his you know. But but the second.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Part, like.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Moving on to if how was the Lakers, he'd be fired.
Uh yeah, if he asked to leave.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Leave it an.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Orderly man, man and get all your stuff. Oh man,
all right. Cowboy Drew says, I might be high, but
not as high as a cowboy writing a fish AI
is a hell of a drug, A fer dog writes
in the Mayor of Fullerton. He says, I'll take no
(23:53):
lines for the bathroom over a working cashless system, he
he points out. Chris writes back he loved the Clippers
opening up their arena with Bruno Mars. He says, I'm
from Kettering, Ohio. I didn't realize that, Chris, we have
arenas that can hold the Kettering Banjo Society and their crowds. Yeah,
(24:13):
but Dick and Dayton has said that he doesn't really
do much with the Kettering Banjo Society. Too many members
have died. They're not enough people there. So why don't
you join Chris the Kettering Banjo Society and help the
Dixter out.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Now?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Come on, he needs help. The band is not doing
well right now. Art Puffin writes, and he says, three
out of three Michelin stars and in order of your
favorite high end dish. On the opening mallet monologue, Robert
Griffin the Third says FSU was left off the college
football Playoff chip game because their starting quarterback fractured his ankle.
(24:50):
That's not something to make light of. I saw Robert
Griffin the Third got got whacked from his TV job.
How will television go on without having Robert Griffin Third
on TV?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Ben Mahler is very excited to let you know that
the WNBA is back from the Olympic break in the
gay Ben malers Hands selected game of the night. Liberty
beat the Sparks one O three to eighty six. New
York the best team in the league at twenty two
and four and fresh offer gold medal in Paris. Breonna
Stewart led the way with twenty seven points. Ben is
(25:31):
very excited about that. He's also very excited about a
John Madden movie that apparently is in the works.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Did you see this?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Our friend I did see this? Our friend Tim said
this along on social media. Nicholas Cage reportedly will portray
John Madden in a bio movie about the former NFL coach, broadcaster,
and as you mentioned, best known for his video game
that came out as well. So sorry if I spoiled that.
In Kop Scoop on Entertainment, I don't think I die.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
It's all.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It's all right. It's a four hour show at it's
no one listening. I will be listening an hour four
and I have some thoughts. I'm I like Nicholas Cage.
Who does anyone hate him? Are there people that hate
Nicholas Cage. I don't think so well.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
He's he could be a little over the top sometimes,
but all in all, I think he's a fine actor.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, but I love that, isn't he the he's related
to what's the uh the famous producer, Yeah, fran Francis
Ford Coppola. But he changed his name to Cage for
the for the Hollywood thing, Yeah, what's Yeah, because he
wants he didn't want to just because if you have that,
(26:34):
if you want with that. People say it's like if
Joe Buck had changed his name to uh, you know,
you know, Joe Bubkiss, it would have been different. But
he took you know, he took his dad's you know,
it was his family name, and people his entire career
still like you got the job because your dad, you know,
you can't really say that. What is his signature Nicholas Cage?
(26:55):
Was it like leaving Las Vegas or something? What is
the signature Nicholas Cage movie? I think that's gotta be
it for that, yes, yeah, all right, okay, I'm trying
to what he's been in. He's been in movies since
like the early like forty years. He's been in in movies.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Mark told me he loved him in face Off.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Uh anyway, all right, we'll find whatever. And now well
I'll talk more about that. And John Madden, he is
truly immortal. He's been dead for years and they're making
a movie about him. And guys like me and Eddie
that was there's nobody bigger than John Madden as a
broadcaster back in the day. I did want to mention
this though, the the shakeup over there in Bristol, he
(27:39):
got rid of RG three and Sam Ponder was also
let go, and I actually ended up getting into a
social media ker fluffle with Sam Ponder because of this show.
Because of the show, So the backstory on that she
was fired by ESPN. So for her, she lost her job,
(28:00):
we all lose her job. But years ago she was
at the time dating Christian Ponder, who was the Viking
quarterback and was terrible. He sucked right, He was a
suckbag quarterback for the Vikings, and so being on in
Minnesota all these years and having a lot of Viking fans,
they would send jokes in about Christian Ponder. And then
(28:25):
we also had the Viking play by play guy who
went on a rant. Remember it was a drop that
we played if you've been with the show a long time,
you know, why would you even ponder passing? When he
threw a terrible, terrible pass that was intercepted and so
that became a drop on the show, and so we
had that, and anyway, guys would write jokes about Christian
(28:48):
Ponder and I don't know that Sam Ponder was a listener,
but she found out about it, and she blocked me
and got you know, got upset with me on what
was called Twitter at the time. And there were other
people that were listeners that got blocked as well because
of the Joe a little sensitive, little sensitive. So again,
(29:08):
I don't know how TV is gonna go on without
Sam Ponder and RG three. It's going to be going
to be difficult. I think they'll try to survive. I
hope they I hope they make it. You know, I
don't know that they're gonna make it, but I hope
they make it. Yeah, hope. So Cowboy Killers is the
best Nick Cage movie was Ghostwriter. So what he says,
(29:30):
burg Dog, what's up with all the Robbie Fat jokes?
Is he really as big as Justin in Cincinnati? Says
he is? Nah, Robbie's that's the joke. See, it's the
joke is he's not big, he's actually tiny. I've met him.
I've met rob Berry Logan, he'll be in here. Yeah.
Steve Burton, mass Ole Mickey says, is a legend around
these parts. Been in the media for over thirty years.
(29:52):
And his father was even a bigger legend, says a
mass Whole Mickey. Well, that was a good line that
Steve Burton had on the Patriot. I guess he's in
a better place chat in La right, since as many
years ago, I started keeping earthquake money at home. If
power goes out, we can't use cards, he says. So
(30:14):
I take twenty dollars every week. I keep it in
a candy tin in my pantry, and I get small
bills too. That's great. The issue, though, is a lot
of stores won't even take cash, so you can have
the cash. But good like Mark says, raising Arizona, hilarious
and well written. Nicholas Cage movie. Yeah that was not
(30:36):
That was a good one. That's old movie too, Mark,
you're dating yourself, doesn't Nicholas case he lives in Vegas.
I saw there was a it was on like some
news show they profile them, and it was like wild
the life and times of Nicholas Cage, like just living
living the life. He's got all like very weird home
with weird gadgets and things like that, and drives around
(30:56):
Vegas and these crazy cars and yeah, uh, Andrea writes
in better known in this show is Virgo in service
the astrology lady, the star lady. She says, the super
moon blue moon is coming, and here's what to expect,

Speaker 5 (36:57):
Former Atlanta Falcons legend Billy might choose Johnson.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
It's a great name, but not a great answer. That's incorrect.
The correct answer from your New England Patriots. So long ago.
The Patriots were actually in the playoffs running back Dion Lewis.
But be back in twenty seventeen. He did it against
the Texans, so I guess that kind of counts. I mean,
they're kind of an NFL team. Let's speak of Houston.
(37:22):
Here's a blast in the past. The guy that left us,
he sold out for the day shift. Chris in Houston. Hello, Christopher, welcome.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Who what twelve?
Speaker 7 (37:31):
Oh? Man? Forgetting old man.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
I know we're all getting No, you don't know if
you don't know Chris in Houston's work. By the way, Chris,
there's a guy that called up when the astros cheating
scandal was broken and said, oh, it's all it's all
deep fakes. It's all fake, it's not real. Live from
the den of inequity right there.
Speaker 7 (37:51):
It's okay, we want another one and we're inevitable, just
as man.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
I'm looking here, I don't see any championships. I don't
any none.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
Yeah, because you need some glasses, you know, you did,
you know yours get bad? But I know how.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Yeah, I'm looking. I'm looking right now. Hold on, I know, Chris,
I'm on the Baseball reference page for the as one
thousand two, one thousand holes and I see there's a
buzzer and then there's a whistle, so I see that,
and oh wait, there's a trash can so there's also that.
Speaker 7 (38:22):
Yeah, whatever, whatever, So I didn't want to send my
flowers out. You know, Congrats to Andre Johnson first ever
Haulli final for the Texans, you know, bung growl. You know,
congrats to the Clippers for finally getting out of the
basement of the staple slash Crypto slash.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Anymore, leaving skid row that's right.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yes, yes, to the hood.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
You're going to leave a skid row to go to
the hood to get some people to get robbed. I mean,
you know, but.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
The property values are going up in Inglewood, so that's
would be.

your owner and the Lakers owner, every fan gets their
own urinal How great is that? You know how much
the Clippers are going to spend on urinal cakes?
Speaker 7 (39:16):
And see, I mean because you're gonna spend more on
ural cakes than championships anyway. So I mean you gotta
spend it off time.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
All right? All right, well are you off from You

Speaker 7 (39:25):
You're calling gratulate the people who block the four five.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Well, there's no there's no way to get more people
to hate your whatever your cause is, than causing them
to miss work, causing them to miss you know, things
they have to do in their lives. Uh, you will,
whatever your cause is, you will immediately get people. Even
if they were neutral or they they didn't care, maybe
they even supported you, they will go to the other side.
