Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our numb bir one, our
one of the original recipe Ben Maler Show podcast. Happy
Monday to you, the twenty sixth day of August, the
final Monday of the month of August. And here in
our number one, how do you interpret reports saying ceed

(00:23):
Lamb and the Cowboys are still trying to find a
sweet spot on a new contract as the exhibition season
is now over. Speaking of all that, why does Jerry
Jones say backup quarterback Trey Lance will be on the
Cowboy roster despite a wretched five interception performance in his
final tune up for the regular season. Also in Cleveland,

(00:47):
coach Kevin Stefanski is quote very confident in the amount
of work Deshaun Watson has done this summer. Do you
share this confidence? We'll talk about that and whatever else
up here. Very expensive taste of this podcast, absolutely free.
It's our number one. Here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
On the Lamb.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Well come, in the beginning of another week of the
Benmalor Show. We are in the air eywhere the Malor
mouthpiece is open for business. Coast the coast, border, the
border in beyond, on the vast and breathtaking lee powerful

com the way tire buying should be. I know that
Anthony and Anaheim who used to listen live and then
he became all grown up and had a family, And
know that he didn't listen live very much, but he
appreciates the number ten thousand. So our lead this hour
to kick off the week. I know that the mantra
of this show we go where the news of the
day takes us, and also play the hits. Ball Man

(02:26):
play the hits well. One of the hits continues to
be in Dallas, where the how about them Cowboys? The
Dallas Cowboys, America's team, the darlings of the NFL. You
love when I talk about the Cowboys. You love it.
You can't get enough. You said, give me more, give
me more, give me more, give me more, give me more,
give me more, give me more, give me more, give

(02:47):
me more. And here's something more. So our lead is
from Jerry's world. It's one of the more compelling stories here.
It's our obligatory Mallard monologue on the purse strings in
Big d. If you have not heard the latest, perhaps not.
Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy glowing about his past catcher,
saying everybody involved wants to get it done, talking about

(03:12):
Ceedee Lamb in regards to a contract extension with his
number one receiver now Jerry Jones, Jerry Jones. Though he
did not see anything radio silence from Jerry Jones. He
refused Jerry to give any updates. You know, Jerry loves
to give updates on this kind of stuff, but he
did not regarding Ceedee Lamb. Now, this comes amid multiple

(03:34):
reports that the disgruntled the Cowboy pass catcher, Ceedee Lamb
and the Cowboys are still trying to find the quote
sweet spot on a new contract. So let us discuss
the question, how do you interpret the weekend reporting saying
that Ceedee Lamb and the Cowboys are still trying to

(03:55):
find the in air quotes sweet spot on a new contra.
So I've got meow Mix Mule and Lens Crafters and
we will combine all of these things together, and we
are going to make a pinata, because talking about the
Dallas Cowboys is like a pinata. He just keeps swinging

(04:15):
at it and eventually the candy will fall out and
we'll all get some candy. So a listen, what this means.
What do you know trying to find the sweet swe
That means there's no deal. Okay, that's what that means.
This is not that hard, This is not that difficult.
They continue to be at loggerheads. There is no there
there getting a deal done. It's pretty clear Jerry Jones,

(04:38):
and I think he made the right call here. He waited,
But the opportunity to get a deal done would be
at the beginning, before everything went bonkers on the receiver market.
Ceel Lamb wants a truck filled with gold bullion. Jerry
Jones rightfully, rightfully, has been reluctant to pay any of

(04:58):
his big name players. Why would he They're abject failures
in big games, So why would you sign up for that.
You don't have to, No one's forcing you to do that.
And so we're at the point now where it's getting
late early. The window would have been early on in
the offseason to work out an agreement. They didn't do that,

(05:20):
and so now getting late and we're at the meow
mix part of the story where they're fighting like cats
and dogs here kidding cats and puppy dogs. They're fighting
out there, and it's getting down to that nut cutting time,
which means that Jerry's likely going to cave in the
day before the start of the regular season, and there'll
be some announcement coming down the pike that the Cowboys

(05:43):
have signed everybody. I hope that doesn't happen. But no
more exhibition games.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Hallelujah, hallelujah that turn burger between the Patriots and the
whatever they're called, the Washington nameless team that closed out
the exhibition season.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
No more exhibition football. But we're in the final inning
before lights camera action for the twenty twenty four regular season.
Jerry Jones should be taken on a private helicopter to
his private yacht and then go out to the Bermuda
Triangle and hang out there before the season begins. Now,

(06:24):
speaking of the Cowboys on the field in Dallas, Trey
Lance became the first quarterback since at least twenty fifteen
to throw not one, not two, not three not four,
but five, five interceptions in an exhibition game. That's where
the team's not game planning to stop you. They're just
running generic defenses. So you'd think it'd be easier because

(06:48):
they're not actually trying to slow down your weaknesses. No, no,
he threw five interceptions. Can you say the great wrestler
El Stinko for Trey Lance there against the Chargers. So
now Lance, after that performance against the Charges, Trey Lance said,
you just got to flush it and turn the page.
Very similar to Jalen Hurts. You drop a deuce, you

(07:09):
don't look at it, you just flush it away and
move on. Meanwhile, the GM there Jerry Jones, he liked
the team so much he bought it. Jerry Jones gave
a state of the Depth chart address saying that Trey
Lance will be will be on his roster. So why
does Jerry Jones? Why does Jerry Jones go on the
record saying that Trey Lance will be the Cowboys? He

(07:34):
is a backup, he said on the roster after a
wretched performance in his final tune up for the regular season.
Why would you do that? Why would you go on
the record if Jerry Jones? So it's right now between
Cooper Rush and Trey Lance as to who will be

(07:54):
the backup quarterback at this point unless the wild card
is that Jerry would go outside the building and outside
the Star and brings somebody else in. But Jerry and
I respect this as someone that has similar wiring to
Jerry Jones. I don't have the money, but very stubborn,
like a mule. Jerry is like a mule, not a

(08:15):
Russian mule, just a regular mule. And I understand that.
But in the master plan, in the Grand master Plan,
Trey Lance, in Jerry's head is the perfect developmental quarterback
makes all the sense in the world. You spoon feed
Trey Lance baby food and you just sit back and

(08:38):
you let him matriculate the ball down the field in
your head. As the caddie to Dak Prescott Plan B
with a shaky contractual future in Dallas and Jerry Jones,
he went out. He scooped up Trey Lance, who was
the number three overall pick. Remember the forty nine Ers

(09:00):
traded the entire draft of the Dolphins to get Trey Lance,
only to find some somebody else named Rock Purdy who's
better than him in the draft. But back in the
twenty twenty one draft. One of the great stories of
bamboozlemen in NFL history. They should do movies, documentaries, and
write books about how Trey Lance was able to fool

(09:24):
dumb NFL people into making him the number three overall pick.
One of the great heists of our time. He can't play,
that's from what I've seen. He can't play, but it
was gonna wait. You know, he was the third pick
of the twenty twenty one draft. It's now twenty twenty four,
and he's he's played at a level he's just abotus
to get out of here, get be gone. But he's

(09:44):
still gonna be on the team. And for a for
a cup of coffee. The Cowboys got Trey Lance for
a cup of coffee and some doughnut holes to be
named later. So they're betting a little thinking they're gonna
win a lot. At this point that's not exactly reaching
the landing zone, if you will. Trey Lance has been

(10:05):
an absolute stumblebum, a disheveled mess when he has played
all right, last word, We head to Cleveland, where the
Browns stunk it up in the exhibition season. Wherever that's
worth not much Now coach Kevin Stefanski, who got a
contract extension not that long ago, he said he is
quote very confident calls quote in the amount of work

(10:30):
Deshaun Watson has done this summer. That's my quarterback. Do
you share the confidence that the Browns coach does in
Deshaun Watson having a revival under center in Cleveland. So
I'm gonna start here and you can chime in, I'm

(10:50):
gonna go n plus oh and that equals no no
no no no no no.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
No no no no no.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
No no to infinity and beyond no oh. Come on, now,
this is classic coach beach by Kevin Stefanski. It's like
he went down to Lens crafters and picked up some
Browns colored glasses, which they don't sell a lot of
most people don't want Brown's colored glasses. I think we're good,

(11:19):
but appropriately enough. The performance of the Cleveland quarterback the
last couple of years, who has statistically been in the
bottom five in every major category, every major category, Deshaun
Watson has been a bottom five quarterback. Deshaun Watson is
the poison pill, and the brown signed up for it.
They signed up for it. They said they beat out

(11:41):
the Saints and the Falcons and these other teams to
get the Booby Prize. He got paid and the Brownies
got played, and they're stuck with them. How many terrible
seasons just between me and you, because we're the only
ones up, just between me and you? How many terrible
seasons must Watson endure before some one in Cleveland goes
on the record and calls a spade a spade because

(12:03):
we're already up to seven right now, and how many
more we got under any reasonable measurement. Deshaun Watson blows,
but he does do very well in the Happy Baby
Yoga post, so there is that maybe they just like
him for that. They should have a Happy Baby Yoga
play they should run in the playbook. It is the

Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated. You don't interrupting our promo.

Eddie Garcia, your humble sidekick, the voice of reason, your
news guy. You're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox

(14:24):
and I'm alive from the tire rac dot Com Fox
Sports Radio Studios.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
It's Ben Mahlor.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
We are just getting started, brand new week here. No
more practice football games, hallelujah. And I tried to watch
this weekend. It's just so painful. I'm like, I'm like,
I got my like talk show mindset. I'm like, let's
see if we can get some like even the last
game on a normal occurrence, the starting quarterback for the

(14:50):
New England Patriots suffering a shoulder injury in the final
exhibition game. I would have led the show off that,
but you called me Brissette stinks, So who cares. The
guy can't. So I'm supposed to get all worked up
into a lather because Jacoby Brissett got her. That's actually
a good thing for the Patriots. Here at his shoulder
and who knows how bad that is. He suffered a
right shoulder injury because the offensive line for the Patriots

(15:13):
ran into each other and it was a debacle in
that game. And Drake May, who was drafted number three overall,
see we still need the number three Drake May. Is
he going to be the one that starts the season?
Who knows. Inquiring minds would like to know. But it's
just you can't get too excited about that because the

(15:36):
Patriots are a terrible team and Jacoby Brissett is not
a good player. So I can't. I can't pretend.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
I wish I could. I wish I could pretend. Uh
Ferd Dog says Florida State losing was the per way
to kick off the college football season and now we
don't need to wait until the end of the year
for their stupid fans to throw a big temper at
tantrum again.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yet.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Has anyone done a wellness check on on Jed who
fled the proud Florida state seminole suck up. We No,
I don't know if he's okay. He might be out
in the woods somewhere doing hard drugs to try to recover.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
Well, he'd be doing that anyway.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
That's any day that ends in why is what he is?
Normally you gotta have crugs. Yeah, that's usually usually how
that goes. King Roy says, you mentioned donut holes in
your monologue, and since everyone knows cinnamon rolls are donuts,
does that means cinnamon roll bites are donut holes?

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Go nuts?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Well, people have been sending me different famous cinnamon roll
places that that, but many of them are far away.
I can't get to them, so you know Ben, Yes, weekend, Yes, Lorrain,
I went and got a maple bar. You did, congratulated,
Thank you, How gold star you got a map I
actually almost posted it on our Twitter because they also

(16:57):
threw in four donut holes as a bonus bonus? Yes,
what flavor were those donut holes? Regular? Frosted, glaze, delicious ones,
you know, all the good ones.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
But Coop said, he said it was pretty girl privilege
that I got extra donut.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
That is correct.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yes, you've never just been given extra donut. No, they
charged me extra when I go into a donut shop.
They know that I'm good, right, Eddie, Yeah, so you
you don't understand the power of your feminine ways. That's
what I was saying. You know, you do not.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
I thought it was just because.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
It's like getting pulled over and trying to get out.
It was just because, Lora, it was just because, Eddie.
How many times we we do? I even use I
used the radio thing one time to get out of
a ticket.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
I did get out of a ticket.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
I don't get out of it. You know, I tickets
all the time. I don't get out of it. Well
I don't.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
It happened once, So I feel like that was that
was it.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
That was the one girl privilege got it?

Speaker 8 (17:54):
Eddie?

Speaker 4 (17:54):
You do? I do?

Speaker 1 (17:55):
You got a lucky one sometimes sometimes Eddie does identify
as a girl occasionally.

Speaker 7 (18:01):
Right. And the guy saw my Fox Sports bag sitting
in the passenger seat and he was like, oh, let's
you work at Fox Sports.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, I got I got pulled over and the guys like,
watch you in such a hurry for us. So I'm
trying to get to the radio station, right, like, oh,
this might impressive. So, yeah, where do you work? I
work at Fox Sports Radio, you know, I said the state, am,
AM five seventy. And he was so impressed. Right, he
asked for my my driver's license and insurance.

Speaker 9 (18:29):
And then he said, he's like cool, can I get
your autograph right here at the bottom of this ticket?

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Do you know? Petros said?

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Yeah, he follows me on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, like, I know, Petros normal, he's my best buddy.
And then he still still ding me. But that was
that was fine, so wonderful. Uh yeah, we should send
you to on food runs, Lorena because we'll get extra stuff.
Get extra stuff all the time. I get free lemonades
and we don't get in never free lemonade, extra condiments. Okay,
fundaments usually get no condiments or napkins. Ranch is expensive nowadays.

(19:04):
I prefer they get me. Well, we don't need the ranch.
That's the devil's blood. Who needs ranch? Ranch is disgusting?

Speaker 4 (19:10):
All right?

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Anyway, we will have come back. We have some great
audio from the exhibition season. What can Brown do for you?
We'll get to that coming up.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
In a little bit.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Let's say hello though, to Mason the Millennial. I've heard
from him in a while he went to the dread
the dreaded day shift. Hello Mason the Millennial.

Speaker 8 (19:27):
Yo, long time, don't talk. Yeah, it's actually not that bad.
I'm able to live and live mostly a lot now
because remember I was starting at like Hecker early, and
I had to wake up at like damn near five.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
But Hecker early, hecka Hecker early.

Speaker 9 (19:44):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
I do not so heck of a fun time with
Mason the Millennial.

Speaker 8 (19:50):
But yeah, now I started like ten so I could
stay up and lessen more. So that's good, pretty good deal, honestly,
very simple stuff being a bus driver.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, we have lost more good men to being bus drivers.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
This show. We are the show. It's kind of a
good We're the.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Show that started the bus driver revolution. It was Lance
the bus Driver years ago in San Francisco, and now
we've got Robert of the bus Driver, Mason the bus Driver,
very popular.

Speaker 8 (20:21):
It's crazy. But I tried to call I don't know
if you saw me on hold on the freaking odd couple,
but I tried to call in for that, but then
I had some passengers. You killed it on there. I
was super happy to hear you with Rob.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
I love Rob.

Speaker 8 (20:39):
You guys, did a great.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
Job than you.

Speaker 8 (20:42):
But also I have a suggestion for my client's show
or bit that you got coming up, maybe a possible
name that you could use that.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Could be I'm confused. I'm already confused.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
I'm confusing.

Speaker 8 (21:00):
Yea, now, my client, you know the name that I
suggest is Pigging with Poppy?

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Oh oh yeah, well we have not gotten confirmation. Now
our friend in Australia has said that he does live
on a farm in Western Australia and that Ozzie Waz
has offered to provide animals for the bit. But this
is going to be a season long bit, so we're
going to need this every single week. I don't know

(21:28):
if you get that commitment, and we're just going to
do one game and we'll find out who can pick
more winners a livestock animal or poppy.

Speaker 8 (21:41):
Yeah, what do you think of the name? Do you
think that that that flies pigging with poppy?

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Piggin with Poppy?

Speaker 9 (21:51):
What do you I'll give it two stars.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
We could make an open pigging with Poppy with pigs oinking? Yeah,
all right, letbe we had Marcel saying, oh yeah, we
could have Marcel, what does the pig sound like Marcel,
Yeah okay, or just Donald. Oh, come on, you gotta

(22:17):
finish it, man, you can't do a half assed job.
Those are the classics. That's how we all grew up.
I hate that song. That is the sweet spot for Marcel.
He can name any nursery rhyme and nail it. He's
amazing with the nursery. Thank you, Mason, Good luck with
the boss. There's Mason, the millennial, the bus driver. He says,

(22:39):
piggin with Poppy is the is the way to go.
Deston writes, and he says, let's kick tonight in the teeth.
He says, you guys are the best part of my night.
Let's go happy Monday. Let's rock all right now. He
did say we were the best part of his night,

(23:00):
which means we are as good as all the other
parts of.

Speaker 9 (23:01):
His night average.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
We're just average, like you. We're not better than that.
I'm a little offended by that. Destiny. We should be
better than best, because best means as good as all
the rest batch out by you. I expect more spent
the higher standard here.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven PM Pacific, and
I did want.

Speaker 7 (23:21):
To mention congratulations of the Chicago White Sox who lost
the Detroit Tigers nine to four. That is one hundred
losses in a season for Chicago. The record at one
hundred and twenty in a season by the sixty two match,
so thirty one games to go for the White Sox too.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Hopefully they would have to go eleven and twenty to
tie and twelve and nineteen to avoid the record.

Speaker 7 (23:43):
I'm confident they're going to get this record then. I
mean we were disappointed before.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Well, we were the most famous when I was here
in this studio when the Tigers were gonna set the record,
and then they won either three or four. They beat
up the Twins the last weekend of the year, which
I'm still pissed off. That was the Alan Trammeill managed Tigers.

Speaker 7 (24:03):
And the A's disappointed us earlier this year too with
the record streak that they were on there.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Yeah, tied the losing street. They didn't get its own.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
We'll see the Angels who have a shot here. They're
not going to beat the White Sox. White Sox have
pretty much wrapped up the worst record in baseball, but
the Angels have a shot of having the second worst
record in baseball. They are closing in on the Athletics
and the Marlins. So I believe in the Halos. I
light that Halo up on fire. I believe that they

(24:33):
can get it done.

Speaker 9 (24:34):
So glad already didn't sell that was just just a blessing.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Oh it's a false alarm. You know they want to
keep that team. Why would you get rid of that team?
Have the worst ranked minor league system in baseball and
they can have the second worst record in baseball.

Speaker 7 (24:46):
Solid did want to mention the Little League World Series
championship the usaaka Lake Mary, Florida with the win over Chinese.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Where is Lake Mary, Florida?

Speaker 4 (24:55):
What part of Florida?

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Well, I know that it's a big state, adye. What
part of Florida is it in? Is it in the south,
the north, the middle? Where is it at?

Speaker 4 (25:04):
No clue?

Speaker 1 (25:05):
I'll look all that Little League knowledge it come on,
yes it is.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
But anyway, the kids from Lake Mary.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Florida, it sounds like it's near Orlando.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
It is near Orlando, Yeah, I think.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
I have no I did not watch a second that
Little League World So I hate those kids. I can't
sand those kids.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
No, that's that's able human.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I've been to Orlando and that's where the lakes are. Anyway,
Well as you're near the ocean, all right, all right,
unless you're an alligator alley and you wants to drive
through alligator out.

Speaker 7 (25:33):
They beat Chinese Taipei or Taiwan if you prefer uh
in in extra endings two to one. A bunt and
then the old throw to No. One at first base
by the by the Taiwan Little league there, and then
I'll come around and score kids celebrating, other kids crying
to one USA over Chinese crying.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
There's a lot of crying with those little kids.

Speaker 7 (25:55):
In the NFL. We had the final three preseason games.
Hallelujah command. He beat the Patriots twenty to ten. As
you mentioned, knowing only quarterback Jacoby Brissett, I guess the
starter for a week one. I left the game with
the right shoulder injury. They're claiming that had it been
a quote unquote real game, he could have gone back
in anyway. Drake May for the Patriots at first round
pick thirteen of twenty, passing one hundred and twenty six

(26:16):
yards of touchdown to interceptions, Broncos over the Cardinals thirty
eight to twelve. Denver quarterback Zach Wilson had three touchdowns,
two passing, one rushing, and the Titans beat the Saints
thirty to twenty seven.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
And the Ben Mallard w NBA game up the night.
Oh my god, what a thrilling finish.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Please.

Speaker 7 (26:31):
The Aces beat the Sky seventy seven to seventy five
on Asia Wilson buzzer beater spelled Aja.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Thanks for the spelling, b Yeah, I appreciate this little
long thing. One thing the Shorts radio listener wants is
a spelling.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
How do you spell Asia? Aja?

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay? I think there's an apostrophe in.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
That there is. I didn't want to. I didn't feel like,
are you ripping?

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Apostrophe? Are you ripping? Are you ripping? Whoever named already?

Speaker 7 (26:57):
Are you? I would never do that. That's a perfectly
legitimate way to spell someone's name. Okay, pronoun Asia?

Speaker 1 (27:03):
There you go? Are you done?

Speaker 4 (27:05):
I'm done? All right?

Speaker 1 (27:06):
It is the Ben Mathers. Let's have some fun here
we go. In fact, a lot of fun, not necessarily fun.
There was an old Tom Hanks baseball movie, A League
of their Own? Do you ever see that movie of
course back in the day. Yeah, yeah, the women playing baseball.
So the ballpark where a lot of that was film
burned up over the weekend. You see this in southern California.

(27:28):
I didn't even know this was there. And I've been
in the area southern colt Yes, in Ontario, out in
the Inland Empire, several famous scenes filmed. It was Jay
Lyttleton Ballpark in southern California, and it's a little piece
of Hollywood history. It is gone.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
I don't know how that could be a fun fact.
That seems kind of.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Well, that's a fact, not fun though, Yeah, but I was.
I was amazed at this place was there. I got
the ballpark. It's an all wood it was an all
wooden grand stand. Well that sounds like a problem.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Constructed in nineteen thirty seven, was used by amateur leagues
over the years. It once hosted the Ontario Orioles in
nineteen forty seven. I guess I don't know what that's
a minor league team, but that is where they filmed
the good chunk of that Tom Hanks movie back in
the nineties. And it is completely gone, like there's nothing,

(28:17):
there's nothing left baseball. They don't know exactly what happened
with the fire, But you want to guess who had
been moving into the ballpark at yes Eddie. Yeah, we
had been there and they broke into the building. They'd
cut the gas line so they could cook on their own,
and uh, I guess I don't know. They don't know

(28:37):
for sure, so I don't want to, you know, put
the finger on the homeless would want it. It's impossible
to think that they possibly cut the gas line and that.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
They did catch an entire freeway on fire exactly.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah, Yeah, that was right near my father in laws
at a business.

Speaker 9 (28:55):
I'm sure they weren't the same homeless people who fires
at e Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
They also filmed eight Men out in this ballpark, the
Babe Bruce story. What about that Disney one Angel in
the Outfield?

Speaker 9 (29:13):
Angels in the out.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
No, they filmed Major League, Not in Cleveland. They filmed
that in Milwaulwaukee filmed that where did they fill? Angels
in the outfield?

Speaker 4 (29:23):
And Oakland?

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Did they film that in Oakland?

Speaker 4 (29:25):
I never saw that one.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
You never saw how do you know see Angels in
the outfield?

Speaker 4 (29:29):
Because I'm an adult, not a eight year old?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Well, the movie came out. You were younger, Eddie, you
were not that luck like you are now. I mean
it was thirty years ago a dinosaur. Yeah, well Eddie
was already like fifty. All right, let's say hello to
Miami Danny. Hello, Miami Danny.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Then, first off, congrats on being a big TV star.
It's a proud moment.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Oh, thank you, Miami Danny. And make sure, now, Danny,
make sure you watch and have everyone you know who
has well Cock watched the show, because that way they'll
bring it back for another year.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
I will make sure I get all the Nielsen families
around tune in.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yeah, well, we do think about streaming. I'm told I
don't know, I've never done this before, but they know
exactly what you're watching on the streaming services unless you're
getting it illegally. You should not be getting in illegally.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Well yeah, of course, winklink. But uh what Tomloney's the.

Speaker 8 (30:30):
Voice of the Penny, right he said that.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
No, he's just there for Philly when I need to
break a few words there. He's not nobody nobody really
considers him the voice of anything.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
No, no, but consider it like the same way that
Eddie Garcia would admit everything he knows about sports radio
he learned.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
From you, clearly, absolutely, but.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Didn't but didn't But didn't you learn everything from Tom Looney?

Speaker 1 (30:53):
No, not not at all, factually incorrect, Tom, I've forgotten
more about sports radio than Tom Looney. You'll ever know.
I'm his bitch. Tom's a lot. Tom's a lot older
than me. If he's bothered, he's bothered by that. He's
a lot older than me. I was playing well, but.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
He does the steroids and he has.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
So he looks he looks from the outside.

Speaker 8 (31:15):
This.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
He goes to Tijuana a couple of times a month
and loads up on the road.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
I was wondering what I was wondering listening to these
little promos during the commercials, like you know Dan Patrick,
he calls his staff to Dan at Yeah, what would
who like Coop? For example? If you if you were
like you have to call yourself with Bennette, do you
think you would go for that?

Speaker 1 (31:36):
No, he would. We've been through this year. Lorrain Ah
was on board me and a Bennette and she's even
been influenced. She's gone, but she's gone to the dark
side because you know, came in she was right eye
she was excited to work on the show, was supportive
of me, she encouraged me. Not anymore, Eddie.

Speaker 8 (31:58):
So wait wait wait the Coop.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
And Lorain are they're all nos on being been at?

Speaker 4 (32:05):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah no, they really got your back. But they really
got your back. They're behind your here.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Hey okay, well I would quit my job.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Wow, no respect, no respect at all.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Okay, and let.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Me put out I do. I do a TV show
half an hour week. Every one on that show would
die for me. They take a bullet for everyone on
that TV show. Take a bullet for you, these guys
not at all.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Quick.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Last thing, this this can be Ben or Coop answer,
but on the whole fifth hour thing, you're talking about
how Coop messed up. You didn't like provide the audioder
the bus.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Well, that was too that was that was last weekend.
That wasn't this week that? Well, I got now you
didn't tell the whole story. What happened Miami to somebody email?
We have a mail bag and somebody email and asked
about that. Ye, so I answered the question. You can
ask me anything you want. I don't care we answer
the question.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
I know I wasn't done, but I was gonna say, like,
and maybe Coupon's answer or you can answer. But when
you like get mad? Is it like a nick save
on the sideline kind of mad, or like a silent, brooding,
stewing kind of Oh.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
I'm very sorry. What I do is I usually I
say a lot of profanity in my head and then
I walk out, and then I'm fine. The next day
I storm out and believe and I throw stuff against
the wall. Question why I spend all day getting ready
for the show to have people sabotage the show, and
then I I'm ready to next day, so I do
it again?

Speaker 8 (33:32):
Why does not try?

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Oh, Coop's trying. He's trying.

Speaker 9 (33:36):
Okay, Hey, I'm gonna try to hang up on you.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Oh look at that, man, Look at that. There goes
Miami Danny right out the right out the window.

Speaker 4 (33:46):

Speaker 9 (33:50):
I have a fun fact? Oh you have a fun
I mean kind of. You don't have to play this hundre. No,
don't do it. Did you know? I was just looking
it up because I was curious. I think somebody asked
where Angels in the Outfield was filmed.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, and first of all, you were right.

Speaker 9 (34:05):
Part of it was filmed in Oakland, Okay, and then
the rest of it was filmed at what was then
Edison Field, Big Game. Yeah, but then did you did
you know there was an original Angels in the outfield
in nineteen fifty one? Yes, I did know. I had
no idea that was a remake. The Angels didn't even exist.
It was about the Pirates.
