Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our nuber fall as we look
on the bright side here in our number four, we
thank you for listening. Don't forget Fifth Hour Podcast up today.
Big announcement back in hour one, the TV show has
been picked up by NBC, so we'll be back on
television and we'll be national this year, not just regional cable.
(00:23):
The show's actually expanding. Details on the Fifth Hour Podcast
with Tom Looney and Me today who needs no introduction
because he won't stop talking. But here in hour number four,
Brian Dable, that's the head coach in New York, implied
he's going to call the offense for the Giants this season.
What does that tell us? Is there a problem brewing
(00:46):
between coach Gerrod Mayo and offensive coordinator Alex van Pelt
with the Patriots. We'll examine the evidence. And Al Michael
says he is not having a retirement tour, even though
this might be his final season podcasting NFL games. How
does that sound to you. We'll get to all of it.
(01:06):
It's coming your way right now as we burn the
clock in our number four, not giving up the play sheet. Welmeme.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we put you
(01:32):
under an audio spell and satisfy your cravings all day,
every day, all night, every night with our radio buffet
coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
mast and stupendously powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from
(01:54):
a wing, a wing and a prayer. We are broadcasting
live from the tire studios. Tyrack dot com will help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. Joey
(02:14):
Theebellman in Wisconsin likes that number. Tyrac dot com the
way tire buying should be. So some developing stories that
we talked some of these story stud about earlier. The
big one would be chatter that the Washington Commanders are
back in on Brandon Ayuk. They made a trade sending
(02:37):
one of their wide receivers to the Eagles, and that
has led to the spillover effect, the belief that they
made that trade sending a Dotson in to Philly because
they're back in with the forty nine ers trying to
get Brandon Ayuk boy. That would really be a kick
to the nuts for the Patriots that he'd rather play
in Washington than in New England. But he does know
(03:00):
so the quarterback there, they were at Arizona State together
anyway or leave this hour though from Gotham coaching shuffle
coaching shuffle now this has not involved the Jets. The
Giants head coach Brian Daball, who lost a bunch of weight,
he said, not on an Olympic. But Brian Dables said
(03:21):
months ago he said, listen, all right, I'm gonna make
the final decision. I'll be the one that makes the
decision on who calls the offensive plays during training camp.
And it looks like he has settled on a choice
as we inch closer and closer to the curtain going
(03:42):
up on the regular season. Just a few more exhibition
games this weekend, then they have a blank spot next week,
and then the season begins after that. So the decision
appears to be in and the decision is the man
in the mirror. Dable said, things are moving in that
(04:03):
direction the Giants, if you forgot last season, they were
a futile twenty ninth in offense, twenty ninth in offense
last season, as dull As dishwater. They did have Tommy
Cutlet's playing quarterback for some of that. So let us
(04:23):
discuss the question Brian Dable, the coach there, implying that
he is going to call the offense for the Giants
all season, or at least to start the year, what
does that tell us? So I've got resort, Rosetta stone
and Irish eyes, and we'll line all of these things
(04:47):
together and we'll line them up and we're gonna win
hearts and minds, like every hack politician tries to do.
So to kick off here, this does not whisper its
screens of desperation for Brian Dable that he's in a dogfight.
Bart Bart Bart, Yeah, he's in a dogfight.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Every man, woman and child knows what's going on here.
He also doesn't trust his offensive coordinator. Otherwise you'd have
the offensive coordinator call the plays. But you look at
the Giants here and there's a handful of teams where
you look around and Bill Belichick is on a boat
somewhere out in Nantucket and he's he's licking his chops
like a super villain in the cartoon bubble above my head.
(05:34):
Belichick is standing off to the side with his young
vixen and he's using that doctor evil pinky finger to
the mouth pose from Austin Powers back in the day.
He's waiting, right, just waiting, just like that. For Brian Dable,
the twenty twenty four season is a trip to a resort,
(05:55):
but not an all inclusive resort. This is what's known
as last resorts, right, because if this does not work,
if you can't figure out the gate code to unlock
the Enigma Vanilla Vick Daniel Jones, and this turns out
to be another boondoggle, then forget about it, right, forget
(06:17):
about it. You're gonna go pick up your parting gifts
and move on to your next NFL outpost. Turn out
the lasts the parties over so you better figure it out.
And I gotta tell you not very optimistic, not very optimistic,
all right. Furthermore, we go to Foxborough, Bad Team Man,
(06:38):
Badfing Team, Bad Teams Make Good Talk Radio earlier this week.
I'll give you the backstory. And so we had coach
Gerrod Mayo who left open the door for rookie number
three overall pick Drake may to be the Patriots quarterback one. Now,
given the fact that Drake may was originally projected to
(07:02):
be the backup, and now Jerrod Mayo was like, well,
it's an open competition and he's done a little better,
but it's mainly because Jacoby Brissett is hot. Pooh. He
just is terrible, right, and so he's really had a
lot of issues this exhibition season. So that was the
original comment this week, and then the same week, Alex
(07:25):
Van Pelt endorsed keeping Jacoby Brissett as QB one, saying
he is the starting quarterback. So connecting the dots here,
is there a problem brewing between the head coach Gerrod
Mayo and the Pats offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. So
(07:46):
I filed this one in an old school late eighties
early nineties sitcom Growing Pains Bill Belichick when he was
in charge. He's not walking through that door. And if
he does walk through that door, it's with his young,
young hottie side by side. But Bill Belichick put a
gag order on everyone. No one could speak right. You
(08:10):
all sounded the same with the Patriots. It was one
voice and it was a dull voice. But Garrod Mayo
is the opposite. That's why he got the job. He's
mister happy. He's a player's coach. He's Lucy Goosey, he's
full of excitement, he's got charisma, things that Bill Belichick
never showed publicly. But this is part of it. You're
(08:33):
talking all over the map, and so I recommend going
out and getting a Rosetta stone because they are speaking
different languages. They are there's a disconnect, there's a failure
to communicate between the offensive coordinator and the head coach.
It's also a bad sign from what I've been reading,
and maybe I've read this wrong, that all of the
(08:53):
big decisions for the Patsy's are going to be made
by a committee. When has that ever worked? When does
a committee ever work? The answer is never. It's always
a terrible idea. It's always a bad idea and a
bad job by them. Good job by us because it's
(09:14):
good for those of us that are media blowhearts. All right,
last thing, let's move to the broadcast booth. I made
the mistake of turning on the exhibition games that were
played Thursday. Now. I talked a little bit earlier about
Anthony Richardson, who was hot and cold. That's been kind
for the Indianapolis football team. Colts played the Bengals the
(09:35):
other game Kansas City and Chicago the third stringers mostly playing,
but I want to focus in on the Bengals in
Colts game. It was on the Amazon on Thursday. It
was a dress rehearsal. That meant we got the venerable
al Michaels and Herbie calling the game. And while al
(09:56):
Michaels watching a game, if you're around my a and
I don't know how old you are, maybe you're a
lot younger than me, lucky you. Maybe you're a lot
older than me. Good for you. But to me, al
Michaels is my childhood. He's like the last of the Mohegans,
the last one left that I watched as a kid.
There were a few others that have moved on from broadcasting.
(10:19):
Brent Musberger was like that. He was on that short
list of people that I watched when I was younger.
But it's and also Dick Stockton, who just retired a
couple of years ago. But al Michaels he's still there right,
the last of the bunch of broadcasters when I was
a little boy watching sports, we're calling the games. And
so he's at the point now where you're like, this
(10:41):
is getting close to the end. He's at the age
where you start looking and saying, what's going on here?
And while he did not reveal his future plans, al
Michaels did say he wouldn't say whether this is his
last year, but he did say that he is not
having a retirement tour. How does that sound to you?
(11:02):
No retirement tour for al Michaels. I say bravo. I
say bravo. Al Michaels is from the old Country, and
that's how you did it in the old country. You
didn't go around like David Ortiz a few years ago
with the Red Sox and have everyone kiss your ass
and give you a rocking chair. Here, a bottle of
(11:24):
lemonade over there, a gold this, that and the other thing.
And al Michaels, because he's from the old country, he's like,
I don't need all that crap. I don't need to
have my ass kissed. Do you believe in miracles? I
don't need that. It's all about those Irish eyes. This
is the way to do it, or go the Irish goodbye.
(11:46):
That's the way to go. No long drawn out swan song.
You just sneak out the back of the press box.
You vanished into your mansion over there in Brentwood in
LA and you call it a day. And that's that.
That's the way to go out. Make him wondering, where
did you go? What happened to that guy? Where's al Michaels?
(12:08):
He just kind of stopped doing it. There's a bit
of mystery there. Where did he go? It is the
Ben Malar Show. If you'd like to comment on any
of that. It is a newbie night. Hooray for now,
bye night. We'll get back to the newbies. If you
want to be part of it, call right now eight seven,

(12:29):
been put to bed. We'll have the Coop Scoop on entertainment. Also,

lot of heavy breather, No good ah, Jeff, what's going
on are you? If I was any better, i'd be
a Tiger, But not at a Detroit Tiger because they're bad.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
They are doing bad. What I'm gonna tell you? I
had the Ben Mather pizza at Bob's Bar.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
No you you did? Oh? Yeah, that's not there anymore. Right,
that's gone, Bob.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Bob's Bar is still there, but your pizza is off
the menu.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Oh thank yeah, I had forgot about that. Yeah, there
was this this local establishment in Grand Rapids that had
the Mallard pie, the Mallard pizza on the menu. I
guess it wasn't a big cellar. That's a good. That
was a good pizza, though, wasn't it, Jeff, dear? It's good?
Speaker 6 (14:55):
But it was good.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So listen, I go.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
When you first mentioned that, I said, that can't be.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
It was far like two blocks from my house.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yes, there was, Yeah, the uh and and the guy
that the guy that contacted me his big fan of
the show. Obviously, they put that on the menu, that
the Mallard Pizza Pie, and that means it's available. By
the way, Jeff, if any other restaurant wants the Mallard
pizza pie, it is available.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
We we we we have the chicken fingers at the
Landing in Kansas City in in Liberty, Missouri right there.
And we've got in Denver, we've got a couple of
food well, well, we have the Mallard chicken sandwich in
Denver at a couple of occasions. One of them is
closed right now. The sports book or the press box
bar and grill, I believe it's called I get the
(15:42):
name right, that would help. And then also in Kansas
we have a we have the Mallard Fowler. Yeah. So
this line is this line is not that good, Jeff.
That was years ago though. That goes way back, Jeff, Well,
at least ten or maybe more. Yeah. We the original
item we had was in Syracuse. It was the malzone,
which is like a cow zone, but it was the
(16:03):
malzone and it was a Philly It was a Philly
cheese steak. Place right near the old used to be
called the Carrier Dome where Syracuse played Yeah back in
the day.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
So and I'm also looking forward to the Lions plunging
this year.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
You should. They're actually good. You should look forward to that. Absolutely, waiting,
waiting a long time for that. Jeff, your your phone sucks.
I don't know why, but I got I gotta hang up.
I've heard a lot of stats. Thank you, buddy. All right,
there's Jeff. Well, that's I'm glad you called.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Jeff.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I'd completely forgotten about the malar pizza that we briefly had.
There have been some limited edition Mallard food items that
have been on restaurants, restaurant menus. We had in in Colorado.
Our our friend who used to be a regular caller,
but now he's I think he's kind of landlocked there
in Boston, Uh movie man mad he blew me off.
(16:57):
Matt had a there was a bar and collar at
a truck stop and they had named a drink after
after me. But I think it's on like the secret menu.
I think it's on the secret menu. So I don't
know that. I don't think that's still there. Not sure
about that. That was also a while ago, but yeah,
(17:18):
it's great. I'd say the current item that's been on
the menu the longest is in the Kansas City area
there at the Landing, which is and I've had amazing
the chicken. People say Kansas City is a barbecue city,
but I say no, I go all with my friend
Bob Fesco every week on his show on the fan,
the new big sports station there, and no, it's the
(17:39):
chicken fingers. People think it's barbecue, but it's actually chicken fingers. Anyway,
who do we have here?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I see Mark, the full name guy banned from calling
tonight because he's a regular, and I can't even make out.
He's like misspelling words here, Like I don't know what's going.
Everything all right over there, Mark, Usually you don't miss words.
There's like words misspelled. Here's something about the Seattle Mariners.
Ferg Dog says, I offer five golden tickets to whoever
(18:08):
gives weed Man a place to stay, and I guarantee
he'll be sleeping in a king sized bed tonight.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Well, I just checked my inbox and nobody has emailed
me at this point. Well, well that's not true. Kathy
in Madison is recommending that we we start a fundraising
campaign for weed Man. But I don't know that that's
a good idea because I think he'd just spend the
(18:38):
money on the weed. You know what I'm saying, Kathy.
If I knew that he would spend the money and
get himself a place and get himself off the streets,
I would be all for it, but little skeptical, little
skeptical about how that would all play out. But Kathy
is such a sweet woman, and she's the hay Mona.
She's the hay Mona woman famous on the show because
(19:00):
of her haymowner when she's saying at the Malord Palooza
a couple years back, and she wants to help out
weed Man. But that's not necessarily name Mona. Do we
not have talent on this show? Do we not have
amazing talent? Unreal? Let's go to Andre who's in Miami
on a newby Night It's all Newbies at eight seven,
(19:22):
seven ninety nine on Fox. Hello Andrew's if I am
I'm a newbie. He's a nobe. We got a newby.
If I was any better, I'd be a Marlin. But
not on Miami Marlin because they blow. I don't get it.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
What's the same thing here? You were talking about restaurants
and that's my line of business. And I was just
trying to tell you that. You know, I'm not time
to get political, not that, but people don't believe in
the climate, climate change, and it's it is affecting us
a lot. I mean, the pros here is getting so
(20:00):
expensive so quick that you don't even believe it. Pretty
soon you won't be able to buy anything on the supermarket,
trust me the whole.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Thank you for that positive thought there, Andre, Now.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Is it is it?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Now? Is it? Is it? It's obviously inflation, But what
is ving?
Speaker 6 (20:23):
No, no, no, what is lack of production? So there's
no employees. Anybody tried to get all the uh you know,
immigrant got a year which nobody's gonna pick up cellary
seven buck an hour, you know in the middle of
the month. Nobody is trust me, nobody will. And number two,
(20:44):
you know, most of the places where where is to
be grows or whatever, now they're developing houses and ship
like that.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
So yeah, you can't say that word, but we're men.
That's how men talk, right Andre, That's how we talked
that strike one. There's no three strikes on this show.
Look at that, Andre laray Lary, no throwing down the here. Listen, Andre,
So you're you're calling us all right, you're fine, and
I think this is the perfect show to talk about
the increased price of produce. I think you've called the
(21:13):
right Jandre. But I at the restaurant, that's why. Well, yeah,
I mean there are some restaurants that named food food.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
You know you know that.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
No, I hear you, I hear Andre, I got you, man,
all right, So you're predicting doom and gloom when it
comes to You're you're saying, no matter who.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Who gets living loving An example, Caeso vocados four months,
all year round, right now? Ninety five?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Wow? All right, that seems a little excessive.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
That seems no excessive.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the chicken chicken in the eggy. I
got you, all right, you know, you know, be careful,
all right, all right, just don't eat produce. Then I
guess it's the all right, Well, good luck, Andrea. I
hope you're wrong. I hope that things get more what's
(22:07):
the right word here, uh, cheaper? I guess that's the
right word I'm looking for. Let's go to Rich postal worker.
Rich who's in the OC? Hello postal worker Rich.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
Hey Ben, I finally called you out a newby night.
I've been listening to you, depending on my work schedule,
off and on since the early two thousand and I've
always loved your show.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Oh well, thank you. That's a long time you've been

Absolutely, and I'm a huge Chicago sports fan. So I'm
the jury still out on Caleb Williams. We'll see him,
see how he does.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You're not buying the hype, They're rich. You're not buying
the overwhelming hype for.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
I must be too used to losing because I was
a justin field supporter.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Yeah, that's a tough one. Yeah, I'd be more I'd
be more excited about Caleb Williams than justin justin Fields
at this point. I have some relatives that live in
Chicago and they're actually they buy Bears and then it
used to be season ticket olders. But they go to
a few games a year now and uh, they're they're
mildly interested. They're like they have a they've been burned
(23:32):
too many times, Mantra. Rich, you're probably like that too, right,
you've been burned so many times?
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Oh my goodness.

Oh yeah, yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
That was.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
Well, DeVante Adams is probably a better NFL player than
than Derek Carr.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You Edie Garcia taking a shot in the Fresno State quarterback.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
That's not taking a shot, it's just complimenting DeVante Adams.
Don't you think Devanta Adams is a better NFL player
than Derek Carr.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
He has been a more productive player. But Derek Carr
has given us great content. That story. I talked about
it earlier today that that story is hilarious, that Derek
Carr has said yes to all of his team is
because he knows his reputation is that like a kind
of a douche, and so he's been.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Doing like, No, that's that's not true. He's a great guy.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
No, he said it. He said, Listen, I've said yes
to everyone. I played pick up ball, I've got a barbecues,
I've had game nights. Anybody that wants to hang out
with me, I'll hang out with him.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Because teammate just like he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
But he wasn't before.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
It's like that he was just going the extra mile.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Now before he was just you know whatever, he's going
the extra miles.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's like that that story that I didn't even get
to it on the Cowboy Confessional, which teased like three
hours ago. But Michael Arsons said, hey, I need to
be a better teammate, because he wasn't a good teammate.
He was selfish. He said it. He's anytime somebody has
to announce they're going to become a better leader, it
means you weren't a leader before.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Right interpreting it.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
That's the only way to negative I am accurate. Let's
see if Coop does not bury the lead on the
coop Scoop and entertainment. Hooray for Hollywood, hooray for Hollywood.
And here he is the coop.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
All I'm probably gonna bury the leader because I can't
think of anything.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
That the lead is. Manny versus the Penny has been
renewed on a PC starting next week. That is the
lead Coop. Everyone knows it. It's what everyone's talking about
right now.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I've already revealed it.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
There there's new people listening, Eddie, not many, but there
are new people listening. Come on, I have more on
that on my podcast, Goop the fifth Hour later today.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
All right, well he took care of that. Uh. In
theaters this weekend, we have a couple of a couple
of movies worth mentioning.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Now.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
First is the remake.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Of The Crow As You Boy.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yeah, as you may remember, this is a movie where
Brandon Lee, the son of Bruce Lee, got shot and
killed by accident.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
It was the.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
It was the Alec Baldwin incident before the Alec Baldwin incident.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Okay, yeah, was either one in New Mexico or was
this somewhere.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Else Alec Baldwins New Mexico. Yeah, this one was a
long time ago.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah, what was it the early nineties?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
It sounds right, Yeah, but he had before before my time,
he had filmed enough.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Of the original Crow that they could still release that.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Movie, so right, yeah, it was same kind of situations.
Was supposed to be a prop gun, but there was
something lodged in the gun when they fired the blank,
and so it shot out of the gun and hit
him in the stomach. And yeah, but this new remake
of The Crow does not have good reviews so far.
(30:19):
It's a twenty two percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The other
one became like kind of a cult classic. I don't
think that's gonna be the case for this one. We
have another movie coming out this weekend. This one is
called Blink Twice and it is a suspense slash thriller.
A lot of big names in this one. You got
Zoe Kravitz, Channing Tatum, Christian Slater, Kyle McLoughlin, Haley, Joel Osmon,
(30:41):
and Gina Davis also and basically, Channing Tatum plays a
tech billionaire invites some people to his private island for
a party and then things start to get weird and
we'll just leave it at that. You can check out
the movie, this one. This one does have good reviews.
(31:02):
And while we're still talking about the movie theaters, I
want to jump back to last week. I mentioned Alien
Romulus and how I had not seen any of the
Alien movies except for the very first one. I did
go and see Alien Romulus. I liked it a lot.
I thought it was very good, exciting, good cinematography, suspenseful.
(31:24):
It was. It was a fun movie. So I do
definitely recommend that, and I'm gonna go scoop steel of approval.
That's right, And I am now going to go back
and watch the rest of the Alien movies.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
Do I would just recommend that second one. Okay, well,
but it's up to you. Well, I you know, obviously
I'm going to start with that one. We'll go to
the third, and depending on how bad that is, we'll
determine if I move forward.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
It's just like that Godfather thing where Godfather iiO is
the best one and you don't really need to see
the other one.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
A lot of people will argue that, Yeah, the from
the research that I've.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Done, Aliens plural more action, right, and Alien more like
horror in.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Space, which I think Alien Romins is white.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Correct, Yeah, Yeah, I would agree, there's there's there's a
good amount of action though, all right, And moving over
to television, there's really just one thing this weekend or
this upcoming week that I want to draw attention to,
and that is Adam Sandler's first stand up special in
six years. It'll be on Netflix, of.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Course, all right, I'll watch that, Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
It is on Tuesday, Tuesday August from New.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Hampshire, right, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Yeah, he's from New Half a nice little Adam Sandler
fun fact. But yeah, that is a Tuesday on Netflix.
It is called Adam Sandler Love You, and it'll incorporate
musical performances, so I.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Don't know, Oh, he's gonna do like the song parody
things or something.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
That's all.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
That's all it says here. He's a great singer like
his his lyrics.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Are just top not Yeah, no they are.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
That is That is cooopscoop and entertainment.

Hello and welcome. It's our nuber fall as we look
on the bright side here in our number four, we
thank you for listening. Don't forget Fifth Hour Podcast up today.
Big announcement back in hour one, the TV show has
been picked up by NBC, so we'll be back on
television and we'll be national this year, not just regional cable.
(00:23):
The show's actually expanding. Details on the Fifth Hour Podcast
with Tom Looney and Me today who needs no introduction
because he won't stop talking. But here in hour number four,
Brian Dable, that's the head coach in New York, implied
he's going to call the offense for the Giants this season.
What does that tell us? Is there a problem brewing
(00:46):
between coach Gerrod Mayo and offensive coordinator Alex van Pelt
with the Patriots. We'll examine the evidence. And Al Michael
says he is not having a retirement tour, even though
this might be his final season podcasting NFL games. How
does that sound to you. We'll get to all of it.
(01:06):
It's coming your way right now as we burn the
clock in our number four, not giving up the play sheet. Welmeme.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we put you
(01:32):
under an audio spell and satisfy your cravings all day,
every day, all night, every night with our radio buffet
coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
mast and stupendously powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from
(01:54):
a wing, a wing and a prayer. We are broadcasting
live from the tire studios. Tyrack dot com will help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. Joey
(02:14):
Theebellman in Wisconsin likes that number. Tyrac dot com the
way tire buying should be. So some developing stories that
we talked some of these story stud about earlier. The
big one would be chatter that the Washington Commanders are
back in on Brandon Ayuk. They made a trade sending
(02:37):
one of their wide receivers to the Eagles, and that
has led to the spillover effect, the belief that they
made that trade sending a Dotson in to Philly because
they're back in with the forty nine ers trying to
get Brandon Ayuk boy. That would really be a kick
to the nuts for the Patriots that he'd rather play
in Washington than in New England. But he does know
(03:00):
so the quarterback there, they were at Arizona State together
anyway or leave this hour though from Gotham coaching shuffle
coaching shuffle now this has not involved the Jets. The
Giants head coach Brian Daball, who lost a bunch of weight,
he said, not on an Olympic. But Brian Dables said
(03:21):
months ago he said, listen, all right, I'm gonna make
the final decision. I'll be the one that makes the
decision on who calls the offensive plays during training camp.
And it looks like he has settled on a choice
as we inch closer and closer to the curtain going
(03:42):
up on the regular season. Just a few more exhibition
games this weekend, then they have a blank spot next week,
and then the season begins after that. So the decision
appears to be in and the decision is the man
in the mirror. Dable said, things are moving in that
(04:03):
direction the Giants, if you forgot last season, they were
a futile twenty ninth in offense, twenty ninth in offense
last season, as dull As dishwater. They did have Tommy
Cutlet's playing quarterback for some of that. So let us
(04:23):
discuss the question Brian Dable, the coach there, implying that
he is going to call the offense for the Giants
all season, or at least to start the year, what
does that tell us? So I've got resort, Rosetta stone
and Irish eyes, and we'll line all of these things
(04:47):
together and we'll line them up and we're gonna win
hearts and minds, like every hack politician tries to do.
So to kick off here, this does not whisper its
screens of desperation for Brian Dable that he's in a dogfight.
Bart Bart Bart, Yeah, he's in a dogfight.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Every man, woman and child knows what's going on here.
He also doesn't trust his offensive coordinator. Otherwise you'd have
the offensive coordinator call the plays. But you look at
the Giants here and there's a handful of teams where
you look around and Bill Belichick is on a boat
somewhere out in Nantucket and he's he's licking his chops
like a super villain in the cartoon bubble above my head.
(05:34):
Belichick is standing off to the side with his young
vixen and he's using that doctor evil pinky finger to
the mouth pose from Austin Powers back in the day.
He's waiting, right, just waiting, just like that. For Brian Dable,
the twenty twenty four season is a trip to a resort,
(05:55):
but not an all inclusive resort. This is what's known
as last resorts, right, because if this does not work,
if you can't figure out the gate code to unlock
the Enigma Vanilla Vick Daniel Jones, and this turns out
to be another boondoggle, then forget about it, right, forget
(06:17):
about it. You're gonna go pick up your parting gifts
and move on to your next NFL outpost. Turn out
the lasts the parties over so you better figure it out.
And I gotta tell you not very optimistic, not very optimistic,
all right. Furthermore, we go to Foxborough, Bad Team Man,
(06:38):
Badfing Team, Bad Teams Make Good Talk Radio earlier this week.
I'll give you the backstory. And so we had coach
Gerrod Mayo who left open the door for rookie number
three overall pick Drake may to be the Patriots quarterback one. Now,
given the fact that Drake may was originally projected to
(07:02):
be the backup, and now Jerrod Mayo was like, well,
it's an open competition and he's done a little better,
but it's mainly because Jacoby Brissett is hot. Pooh. He
just is terrible, right, and so he's really had a
lot of issues this exhibition season. So that was the
original comment this week, and then the same week, Alex
(07:25):
Van Pelt endorsed keeping Jacoby Brissett as QB one, saying
he is the starting quarterback. So connecting the dots here,
is there a problem brewing between the head coach Gerrod
Mayo and the Pats offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. So
(07:46):
I filed this one in an old school late eighties
early nineties sitcom Growing Pains Bill Belichick when he was
in charge. He's not walking through that door. And if
he does walk through that door, it's with his young,
young hottie side by side. But Bill Belichick put a
gag order on everyone. No one could speak right. You
(08:10):
all sounded the same with the Patriots. It was one
voice and it was a dull voice. But Garrod Mayo
is the opposite. That's why he got the job. He's
mister happy. He's a player's coach. He's Lucy Goosey, he's
full of excitement, he's got charisma, things that Bill Belichick
never showed publicly. But this is part of it. You're
(08:33):
talking all over the map, and so I recommend going
out and getting a Rosetta stone because they are speaking
different languages. They are there's a disconnect, there's a failure
to communicate between the offensive coordinator and the head coach.
It's also a bad sign from what I've been reading,
and maybe I've read this wrong, that all of the
(08:53):
big decisions for the Patsy's are going to be made
by a committee. When has that ever worked? When does
a committee ever work? The answer is never. It's always
a terrible idea. It's always a bad idea and a
bad job by them. Good job by us because it's
(09:14):
good for those of us that are media blowhearts. All right,
last thing, let's move to the broadcast booth. I made
the mistake of turning on the exhibition games that were
played Thursday. Now. I talked a little bit earlier about
Anthony Richardson, who was hot and cold. That's been kind
for the Indianapolis football team. Colts played the Bengals the
(09:35):
other game Kansas City and Chicago the third stringers mostly playing,
but I want to focus in on the Bengals in
Colts game. It was on the Amazon on Thursday. It
was a dress rehearsal. That meant we got the venerable
al Michaels and Herbie calling the game. And while al
(09:56):
Michaels watching a game, if you're around my a and
I don't know how old you are, maybe you're a
lot younger than me, lucky you. Maybe you're a lot
older than me. Good for you. But to me, al
Michaels is my childhood. He's like the last of the Mohegans,
the last one left that I watched as a kid.
There were a few others that have moved on from broadcasting.
(10:19):
Brent Musberger was like that. He was on that short
list of people that I watched when I was younger.
But it's and also Dick Stockton, who just retired a
couple of years ago. But al Michaels he's still there right,
the last of the bunch of broadcasters when I was
a little boy watching sports, we're calling the games. And
so he's at the point now where you're like, this
(10:41):
is getting close to the end. He's at the age
where you start looking and saying, what's going on here?
And while he did not reveal his future plans, al
Michaels did say he wouldn't say whether this is his
last year, but he did say that he is not
having a retirement tour. How does that sound to you?
(11:02):
No retirement tour for al Michaels. I say bravo. I
say bravo. Al Michaels is from the old Country, and
that's how you did it in the old country. You
didn't go around like David Ortiz a few years ago
with the Red Sox and have everyone kiss your ass
and give you a rocking chair. Here, a bottle of
(11:24):
lemonade over there, a gold this, that and the other thing.
And al Michaels, because he's from the old country, he's like,
I don't need all that crap. I don't need to
have my ass kissed. Do you believe in miracles? I
don't need that. It's all about those Irish eyes. This
is the way to do it, or go the Irish goodbye.
(11:46):
That's the way to go. No long drawn out swan song.
You just sneak out the back of the press box.
You vanished into your mansion over there in Brentwood in
LA and you call it a day. And that's that.
That's the way to go out. Make him wondering, where
did you go? What happened to that guy? Where's al Michaels?
(12:08):
He just kind of stopped doing it. There's a bit
of mystery there. Where did he go? It is the
Ben Malar Show. If you'd like to comment on any
of that. It is a newbie night. Hooray for now,
bye night. We'll get back to the newbies. If you
want to be part of it, call right now eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. These speak easy rules have
(12:29):
been put to bed. We'll have the Coop Scoop on entertainment. Also,
al Michael's shooting down another rumor about him. We'll tell
you about that the Coop Scoop on entertainment as well.
We'll get to all of it and we will.

the menu.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Oh thank yeah, I had forgot about that. Yeah, there
was this this local establishment in Grand Rapids that had
the Mallard pie, the Mallard pizza on the menu. I
guess it wasn't a big cellar. That's a good. That
was a good pizza, though, wasn't it, Jeff, dear? It's good?
Speaker 6 (14:55):
But it was good.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So listen, I go.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
When you first mentioned that, I said, that can't be.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
It was far like two blocks from my house.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yes, there was, Yeah, the uh and and the guy
that the guy that contacted me his big fan of
the show. Obviously, they put that on the menu, that
the Mallard Pizza Pie, and that means it's available. By
the way, Jeff, if any other restaurant wants the Mallard
pizza pie, it is available.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
We we we we have the chicken fingers at the
Landing in Kansas City in in Liberty, Missouri right there.
And we've got in Denver, we've got a couple of

Denver at a couple of occasions. One of them is
closed right now. The sports book or the press box
bar and grill, I believe it's called I get the
(15:42):
name right, that would help. And then also in Kansas
we have a we have the Mallard Fowler. Yeah. So
this line is this line is not that good, Jeff.
That was years ago though. That goes way back, Jeff, Well,
at least ten or maybe more. Yeah. We the original
item we had was in Syracuse. It was the malzone,
which is like a cow zone, but it was the
(16:03):
malzone and it was a Philly It was a Philly
cheese steak. Place right near the old used to be

Speaker 1 (16:33):
I'd completely forgotten about the malar pizza that we briefly had.
There have been some limited edition Mallard food items that
have been on restaurants, restaurant menus. We had in in Colorado.
Our our friend who used to be a regular caller,
but now he's I think he's kind of landlocked there
in Boston, Uh movie man mad he blew me off.
(16:57):
Matt had a there was a bar and collar at
a truck stop and they had named a drink after
after me. But I think it's on like the secret menu.
I think it's on the secret menu. So I don't
know that. I don't think that's still there. Not sure
about that. That was also a while ago, but yeah,
(17:18):
it's great. I'd say the current item that's been on
the menu the longest is in the Kansas City area
there at the Landing, which is and I've had amazing
the chicken. People say Kansas City is a barbecue city,
but I say no, I go all with my friend
Bob Fesco every week on his show on the fan,
the new big sports station there, and no, it's the
(17:39):
chicken fingers. People think it's barbecue, but it's actually chicken fingers. Anyway,
who do we have here?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I see Mark, the full name guy banned from calling
tonight because he's a regular, and I can't even make out.
He's like misspelling words here, Like I don't know what's going.
Everything all right over there, Mark, Usually you don't miss words.
There's like words misspelled. Here's something about the Seattle Mariners.
Ferg Dog says, I offer five golden tickets to whoever
(18:08):
gives weed Man a place to stay, and I guarantee
he'll be sleeping in a king sized bed tonight.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Well, I just checked my inbox and nobody has emailed
me at this point. Well, well that's not true. Kathy
in Madison is recommending that we we start a fundraising
campaign for weed Man. But I don't know that that's
a good idea because I think he'd just spend the
(18:38):
money on the weed. You know what I'm saying, Kathy.
If I knew that he would spend the money and
get himself a place and get himself off the streets,
I would be all for it, but little skeptical, little
skeptical about how that would all play out. But Kathy
is such a sweet woman, and she's the hay Mona.
She's the hay Mona woman famous on the show because
(19:00):
of her haymowner when she's saying at the Malord Palooza
a couple years back, and she wants to help out
weed Man. But that's not necessarily name Mona. Do we
not have talent on this show? Do we not have
amazing talent? Unreal? Let's go to Andre who's in Miami
on a newby Night It's all Newbies at eight seven,
(19:22):
seven ninety nine on Fox. Hello Andrew's if I am
I'm a newbie. He's a nobe. We got a newby.
If I was any better, I'd be a Marlin. But
not on Miami Marlin because they blow. I don't get it.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
What's the same thing here? You were talking about restaurants
and that's my line of business. And I was just
trying to tell you that. You know, I'm not time
to get political, not that, but people don't believe in
the climate, climate change, and it's it is affecting us
a lot. I mean, the pros here is getting so
(20:00):
expensive so quick that you don't even believe it. Pretty
soon you won't be able to buy anything on the supermarket,
trust me the whole.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Thank you for that positive thought there, Andre, Now.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Is it is it?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Now? Is it? Is it? It's obviously inflation, But what
is ving?
Speaker 6 (20:23):
No, no, no, what is lack of production? So there's
no employees. Anybody tried to get all the uh you know,
immigrant got a year which nobody's gonna pick up cellary
seven buck an hour, you know in the middle of
the month. Nobody is trust me, nobody will. And number two,
(20:44):
you know, most of the places where where is to
be grows or whatever, now they're developing houses and ship
like that.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
So yeah, you can't say that word, but we're men.
That's how men talk, right Andre, That's how we talked
that strike one. There's no three strikes on this show.
Look at that, Andre laray Lary, no throwing down the here. Listen, Andre,
So you're you're calling us all right, you're fine, and
I think this is the perfect show to talk about
the increased price of produce. I think you've called the
(21:13):
right Jandre. But I at the restaurant, that's why. Well, yeah,
I mean there are some restaurants that named food food.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
You know you know that.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
No, I hear you, I hear Andre, I got you, man,
all right, So you're predicting doom and gloom when it
comes to You're you're saying, no matter who.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Who gets living loving An example, Caeso vocados four months,
all year round, right now? Ninety five?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Wow? All right, that seems a little excessive.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
That seems no excessive.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the chicken chicken in the eggy. I
got you, all right, you know, you know, be careful,
all right, all right, just don't eat produce. Then I
guess it's the all right, Well, good luck, Andrea. I
hope you're wrong. I hope that things get more what's
(22:07):
the right word here, uh, cheaper? I guess that's the
right word I'm looking for. Let's go to Rich postal worker.
Rich who's in the OC? Hello postal worker Rich.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
Hey Ben, I finally called you out a newby night.
I've been listening to you, depending on my work schedule,
off and on since the early two thousand and I've
always loved your show.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Oh well, thank you. That's a long time you've been
with twenty years, all right, that's that's a long run
off and on.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Not consistently, but I have listened to you off and on.
I know you're from down this area. I'm in the
coast of Masa area, and you're from Irvine.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I am from Irvine. I am familiar with coast to Masa.
Spent a lot of days in coast of Mason my
way to the beach, driving through there.
Speaker 7 (22:49):
Absolutely, and I'm a huge Chicago sports fan. So I'm
the jury still out on Caleb Williams. We'll see him,
see how he does.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You're not buying the hype, They're rich. You're not buying
the overwhelming hype for.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
I must be too used to losing because I was
a justin field supporter.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Yeah, that's a tough one. Yeah, I'd be more I'd
be more excited about Caleb Williams than justin justin Fields
at this point. I have some relatives that live in
Chicago and they're actually they buy Bears and then it
used to be season ticket olders. But they go to
a few games a year now and uh, they're they're
mildly interested. They're like they have a they've been burned
(23:32):
too many times, Mantra. Rich, you're probably like that too, right,
you've been burned so many times?
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Oh yeah, yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
That was.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
But there is also by the way, you're in Coasta Mason,
there's a Deep Dish Chicago pizza place in Coasta Mason,
which is not bad.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Ranta Pizza is that the name of it.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty good right as.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
Well be Yeah, the one here is Harbor and Baker.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Eddie. If you're in Costa Mesa, you can get some
deep Dish pizza right there.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
I would like to see you if you can get
you a chance to do You don't have much time,
but you do a Mallard mean greet down here in
Orange County.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
I'd love to see you.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Well, I would love to do that. We'll make it happen, Rich,
but we do usually do one in southern California a year,
although I guess we didn't do one this year because
we were in Vegas. But well, we'll definitely do it.
In fact, we have a place, not in Orange County,
but not that far away. We have the Zin Dejas
right that Eddie the guy offered us mad Jack, I
believe allegedly, So that's not that far. Keep listening, Rich,
(24:36):
we'll let you know.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Okay, Eddie, I love listening to you too.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
You guys, don't don't kiss his ass. There was a
perfect call, Rich, It was a great call till you
had to say nice things about Eddie. How dare you?
What's wrong with you? Thank you? Keep Eddy's name. I'm
shore effing MoU and I'm thinking here, I'm the star
of the show. Everyone's saying nice things about me, and
(25:00):
then they gotta say nice things about you, Eddie. It's
not right. How how dare that guy?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (25:09):

That's expresspros dot Comedy's now time for our Express pros
Pro of the week, and that would be Aaron Judge
of the New York Yankees over the last week twenty
four at bats, eight hits, five home runs, eight RBI.
(26:41):
The former Fresno State great is tearing it up. I
had to include that because I went to Presno stage,
So congrats to Aaron Judge.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Are Express pros Pro.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Theeko greatest Fresno State alumnus steady.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
I would probably have to go with Aaron Judge over
the likes of Paul tro Urgent, Defonte Adams.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Not David Carr, Derek Carr.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Well, DeVante Adams is probably a better NFL player than
than Derek Carr.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You Edie Garcia taking a shot in the Fresno State quarterback.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
That's not taking a shot, it's just complimenting DeVante Adams.
Don't you think Devanta Adams is a better NFL player
than Derek Carr.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
He has been a more productive player. But Derek Carr
has given us great content. That story. I talked about
it earlier today that that story is hilarious, that Derek
Carr has said yes to all of his team is
because he knows his reputation is that like a kind
of a douche, and so he's been.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Doing like, No, that's that's not true. He's a great guy.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
No, he said it. He said, Listen, I've said yes
to everyone. I played pick up ball, I've got a barbecues,
I've had game nights. Anybody that wants to hang out
with me, I'll hang out with him.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Because teammate just like he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
But he wasn't before.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
It's like that he was just going the extra mile.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Now before he was just you know whatever, he's going
the extra miles.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's like that that story that I didn't even get
to it on the Cowboy Confessional, which teased like three
hours ago. But Michael Arsons said, hey, I need to
be a better teammate, because he wasn't a good teammate.
He was selfish. He said it. He's anytime somebody has
to announce they're going to become a better leader, it
means you weren't a leader before.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Right interpreting it.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
That's the only way to negative I am accurate. Let's
see if Coop does not bury the lead on the
coop Scoop and entertainment. Hooray for Hollywood, hooray for Hollywood.
And here he is the coop.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
All I'm probably gonna bury the leader because I can't
think of anything.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
That the lead is. Manny versus the Penny has been
renewed on a PC starting next week. That is the
lead Coop. Everyone knows it. It's what everyone's talking about
right now.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I've already revealed it.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
There there's new people listening, Eddie, not many, but there
are new people listening. Come on, I have more on
that on my podcast, Goop the fifth Hour later today.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
All right, well he took care of that. Uh. In
theaters this weekend, we have a couple of a couple
of movies worth mentioning.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Now.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
First is the remake.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Of The Crow As You Boy.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yeah, as you may remember, this is a movie where
Brandon Lee, the son of Bruce Lee, got shot and
killed by accident.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
It was the.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
It was the Alec Baldwin incident before the Alec Baldwin incident.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Okay, yeah, was either one in New Mexico or was
this somewhere.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Else Alec Baldwins New Mexico. Yeah, this one was a
long time ago.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah, what was it the early nineties?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
It sounds right, Yeah, but he had before before my time,
he had filmed enough.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Of the original Crow that they could still release that.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Movie, so right, yeah, it was same kind of situations.
Was supposed to be a prop gun, but there was
something lodged in the gun when they fired the blank,
and so it shot out of the gun and hit
him in the stomach. And yeah, but this new remake
of The Crow does not have good reviews so far.
(30:19):
It's a twenty two percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The other
one became like kind of a cult classic. I don't
think that's gonna be the case for this one. We
have another movie coming out this weekend. This one is
called Blink Twice and it is a suspense slash thriller.
A lot of big names in this one. You got
Zoe Kravitz, Channing Tatum, Christian Slater, Kyle McLoughlin, Haley, Joel Osmon,
(30:41):
and Gina Davis also and basically, Channing Tatum plays a
tech billionaire invites some people to his private island for
a party and then things start to get weird and
we'll just leave it at that. You can check out
the movie, this one. This one does have good reviews.
(31:02):
And while we're still talking about the movie theaters, I
want to jump back to last week. I mentioned Alien
Romulus and how I had not seen any of the
Alien movies except for the very first one. I did
go and see Alien Romulus. I liked it a lot.
I thought it was very good, exciting, good cinematography, suspenseful.
(31:24):
It was. It was a fun movie. So I do
definitely recommend that, and I'm gonna go scoop steel of approval.
That's right, And I am now going to go back
and watch the rest of the Alien movies.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
Do I would just recommend that second one. Okay, well,
but it's up to you. Well, I you know, obviously
I'm going to start with that one. We'll go to
the third, and depending on how bad that is, we'll
determine if I move forward.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
It's just like that Godfather thing where Godfather iiO is
the best one and you don't really need to see
the other one.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
A lot of people will argue that, Yeah, the from
the research that I've.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Done, Aliens plural more action, right, and Alien more like
horror in.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Space, which I think Alien Romins is white.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Correct, Yeah, Yeah, I would agree, there's there's there's a
good amount of action though, all right, And moving over
to television, there's really just one thing this weekend or
this upcoming week that I want to draw attention to,
and that is Adam Sandler's first stand up special in
six years. It'll be on Netflix, of.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Course, all right, I'll watch that, Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
It is on Tuesday, Tuesday August from New.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Hampshire, right, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Yeah, he's from New Half a nice little Adam Sandler
fun fact. But yeah, that is a Tuesday on Netflix.
It is called Adam Sandler Love You, and it'll incorporate
musical performances, so I.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Don't know, Oh, he's gonna do like the song parody
things or something.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
That's all.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
That's all it says here. He's a great singer like
his his lyrics.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Are just top not Yeah, no they are.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
That is That is cooopscoop and entertainment.
Speaker 1 (33:00):

a couple of movies. If you want to be part
