Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome the calm before the pig skin storm. As it
is the fifth day of September, a Thursday, and it
is on like Football Kong. Tonight the NFL returns and
we talk all things football and whatnot. Here in hour one,
we'll go to Vegas. Is de Vonte Adams happy or
(00:24):
unhappy in a Raiders' uniform? Also, what is your reaction
to this commander's vice president suspended over candid camera comments?
Saved for posterity's sake? Also the other story here, Jason
Kelsey isn't sure if working for the Eagles is an
issue with his television work. If this conflict of interest,
(00:48):
how do you see this one? We'll talk about that
as well. It's all coming your way right now here.
It is give it up for our number one? Is
it love or is it not love? Well come, in
the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere you there, me here
(01:13):
as we hide out in the seaview tavern trying to
avoid Tennis propaganda coast to coast, border the border and beyond.
On the vast and flashily powerful microphones of FSR ammating
live from the Marathon, The Malarmarathon live all night long.
(01:36):
We're broadcasting from a tyrack dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,

be our guide. Disposable Horse Napkins. It's one of our
(01:59):
Joe writers and he loves that, loves that live read.
So I lead this hour. We're going to start out
in Lost Wages, Nevada. I have to get all of
my Malard monologues about the Raiders out before the season beginning.
I think the Raiders actually will be better than most.
I think there'll be average, but average doesn't really move
(02:19):
the needle in these parts, so that's a bit of
a problem. But the Raiders do have the blessing of
low expectations. People down on Gardeners or just Gardner Gardner
Minshew who is QB one there not a popular pick
by popular people. Now, regardless of that, we go where
the stories of the day take us the news of
the day, and there's a story that caught my attention.
(02:41):
I thought it was kind of interesting here and it
involves the ongoing saga around Davante Adams, the Raiders wide receiver.
Davonte Adams, who, if you believe the story now, is
spitting mad. He's very upset at a former can temporary
(03:01):
in the NFL back in the day, DeShawn Watson, Deshaun Jackson,
not Deshaun Watson, Deshaun Jackson. He's upset with DeShawn jacks
We get Deshaun Watson later, but Davante is not happy.
He's not happy with DeShawn Jackson because DeShawn went on
a podcast because nobody has podcasts and he had to
say something. H and DeShawn Jackson claimed that Devonte Adams
(03:27):
was not happy in Vegas, and Adams responded to that,
I know you're dying to hear what he has to
sim is one thing that you have to worry about
and I have to worry about in our lives and
we're just trying to make it through life, and we
have to worry about how a gazillionaire football player is
handling the team he's with. So here's what Adams muttered.
(03:49):
He said, at the end of the day, the facts
are the facts, and that is not a fact. I
don't think he said jack At the end of he
said fact. And here's the continuation of the quote. Davante
Adams said, I have probably spoken to Deshaun Jackson maybe
three or four times in my life, the Raider receiver said,
(04:10):
and I never had a conversation with him about this
meaning this topic ever. And I put that on my kids.
Wwis putting his kids' safety on the line. Wow, says
I've never spoken to you about anything. Adams also said
the only person he shares his public feelings with is
(04:32):
his wife. Maybe his wife's the one riting out Davante.
I don't know, all right, So let us discuss the
question is DeVante Adams happy or unhappy in Vegas? All right?
So I've got beekeeper, espionage, and cabal, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
(04:54):
to lay the pavement for this mathed monologue. So a
looking at this logically, because you turn the overnight talk
radio for logic. If you look at this logically, there
are only two plausible scenarios involving these constant Davonte Adams
rumors of him being a curmudgeon with the Raiders right now.
(05:20):
Door number one is that DeVante Adams is just depressed.
He thought that things would be different. He went there
to play with his college buddy, mister Carr, and then
that didn't work out, and so now they got this
parade of quarterbacks and he's upset and all that. He
likes the money, but he's not happy with the team. Now.
(05:40):
Door number two is that someone or a group of
people are out to get Devonte Adams, that they're leaking
these stories and some of it's made up, some of
it's not made up, but it's old fashioned mudslinging. And
after a review of the available evidence, the verdict is
(06:04):
in or go the bee keeper. I always used the
bee keeper when I'm trying to get to the bottom
of something. Now, the beekeeper they have a saying there
where there are bees, you will find honey. And there's
a fair amount of bees buzzing around Devonte Adams. If
(06:25):
I'm hearing it, and who am I, I'm nobody. If
I'm hearing this. I've been hearing this for a couple
of years. There's something there, right, There's something there. Now
if you look at the key indicators around Davonte Adams,
and those give some cryptic clues. I think will agree,
poor body language during games. We've seen that many times now.
The counter argument is, it's hard to have good body language.
(06:47):
The Raiders have played pretty mediocre football with Devonte Adams,
so you've got that, and it kind of flummix with
the roster the way things have gone. And he would
rather be with his bestie, Aaron Rodgers, hanging out at
some diner in New Jersey. And so you've got all
these things together. But this is a subplot that is
(07:09):
going to shadow the Raiders for many, many weeks. They
pushed back the NFL trade deadline this year till November fifth,
so it's a few days later, usually on Halloween, so
it's a few days after that. And so after week nine,
after week nine, that is the trade deadline. And so
up until that point, Raiders get off to a slow start.
(07:32):
They get hammered by the Chargers on Sunday. Expect some
DeVante Adam noise to come up there. Devonte Adam's name
will be bouncing around. The Raiders are in contention, likely not,
but if they're they're sucking. If they're two to seven
at the deadline, then we got something, all right. Now,
page do we go to the DMV a tabloid like
(07:56):
story here. The Commander's a team that has a tempy name, embarrassing.
So they have suspended a vice president you have never
heard of for derogatory comments that he made allegedly on camera. Now,
a woman we don't know who. She was working undercover
(08:18):
for James O'Keefe's Project Veritas, and went on a couple
of dates with a gentleman who works for the commanders,
a VP of content. His name's not important because you
don't know who he is. I don't know who he is.
But they went out on a date and a couple
of them. And this lady, she was recording everything for
(08:41):
posterity's sake, and she recorded this cat saying that the
NFL players, I'm gonna give you all the big ones here.
There's more to it, but I'll give you the big ones,
the big pillars. So this guy said over dinner or
drinks that NFL players are homophobic, That you and I
fans of the NFL are mouth breathers. We're alcoholic mouth breathers.
(09:06):
So we've got that, and that all the social justice
slogans and all the cute little sayings and the commercials
and all that they've been doing the last couple of years,
are insincere that they're doing it to make money. Now,
what is your reaction on what is your reaction to
the non descript commander's vice president being suspended over his
(09:32):
candid camera commentary. So I want to point out before
we get into this, this is akin to going to
Churchill Downs and hitting the trifecta good afternoon, good evening,
and good night and all of that. And he called
out the NFL. He just summed it all up to
(09:56):
someone who at the time he didn't really know who
this person was. Obviously, other wise he would have realized
he was being recorded. And he called out the NFL
for being a complete fraud operation while working for the NFL. Now,
how do you think that went over with the NFL?
Of course, And this is the oldest trick in the
book espionage via the honey trap. The honey trap is
(10:18):
the way to go. This guy is flapping his gums
trying to impress this woman and now he's cooked. Right,
he'll never work in the NFL again. And the spin doctors,
the crisis management team for the NFL, was activated, and
the same old song and dance, just like It reminds
me of when the NBA had Tim donnahe and he
(10:40):
was gambling on NBA games and David Stern, the commission
at the time, said, well, he's a lone wolf. I'm
already seeing some of that onlines. Well in the NFL
leaking this to their usefullet as well, this guy, this
is his own opinion, he's a lone wolf and all that.
I would argue to stay tuned because from what I know,
and I don't follow this stuff that closely, I'm in
(11:01):
the toy department over here, but from what I've seen
in the past is I remember usually when they come
out with all of these candid videos, it's not just one.
There's other people that are also recorded, and they wait
a couple of days and then they leak up some
other videos. All right, last word. Here we go now
to Phildelphia the Eagles. They open up on Friday with
(11:26):
the Packers. That game is in Brazil. It's on Peacock
that there's something else on Peacock that I like a lot. Anyway,
Former center Jason Kelsey recently said that he is not
sure if the fact that he's working for the Eagles
he has a ambassador role for the Eagles is an
(11:47):
issue with his television work, So how do you see
this one? Kelsey seemed confused that there could be some
kind of issue here, So Jason Kelsey, let me help
him out here. I know he's bathing in the money
(12:07):
from Taylor Swift thanks to his brother, but this is
absolutely a conflict of interest. He's compromised. Jason Kelsey's compromise.
He's getting a check to commentate to critique NFL players
while at the same time being paid to only whisper
sweet nothings for the Eagles. However, it's perfectly fine because
(12:31):
this is not the federal government. It's the NFL. The
NFL's run like a cabal, and in the cupball you're fine.
There's no separation of church and state in the NFL.
They're all united under the same umbrella. That's why it
was so fugesey. The talk to Tom Brady, if he
ends up getting the Raider ownership deal, will have to
leave Fox or vice versa. If he wants to stay
(12:53):
at Fox. He can't do the Raider thing because everyone
is in cohoots with everyone else. They're all under that
same umbrella. They're in the same basket and they're in
bed with each other. And that's just the way it operates.
It is the Ben Mallor Show. If you're like t
be part, you can join us here as we will
(13:13):
continue on for now, subject to change with these speak
easy rules. But you can call up and scream and
shout and all that stuff. There are a bunch of
lines open. In fact, every line is open. We haven't
taken a call yet, so that's usually how it works.
We unlease the hounds and you are free to call in.
I get an update here, the gremlins, Eddie doing the
(13:33):
updates from home, the gremlins attacking Eddie. That was rather shocking.
And then Brian Finley comes in here and does an
infomercial for tennis. Because that's why people don't trust the media.
It's like a damn infomercial for tennis. Know thy audience
or don't know thy audience? I yeah, I don't know.
It seems rather odd to me, but man, that's an
(13:54):
odd choice to make the baseball pennant races we're doing
here tennis. Man, All right, where is the beef? Where
is the beef? We'll get to that and we will
do it next.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
And you're wearing a lime green shirt. That's really you
would glow in the dark if we turn.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
The lights off, just because you don't have the fashion
sense that I have green shirt.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
That's right, I do.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You don't. You don't understand the ability to that. This

(16:46):

crazy you would.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Be if they didn't have to turn the cameras on you.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Nowadays, I know there's like there's so many cameras. I
think that's where our bonus went. I think it all
went to the where it went, yes, because there's like
we don't get bonuses anymore around here, but they got more.
There's a there there are cameras on the floor there,
like tons of them. Wild late night drug tester rights
and says, I was worried there was a nuclear disaster
(17:16):
or a major earthquake in l A and FSR started
replaying an old episode that focused on tennis. For some reason.
Glad all of you wes said, yeah, Brian, we have
a conspiracy theory that that Brian just figured since Eddy
wasn't here, he had a he had a freebie, so
you can just do whatever he wanted. He was walking
(17:36):
the hallway. He was giggling while he was doing his
because I was, well, it was unprofessional because what he
led with is unprofessional. I mean that's this is broadcasting,
not narrow casting. But my theory is he's trying to
get a tennis play by play job.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
I thought already had one.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
No, he wants like a legit so he can leave
this place.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Oh, he wants to like replace Patrick McEnroe's I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
He wants like a big time TV tennis job, and
he figures it. He comes in here and sucks up
to the tennis people that he'll get one of those job,
and maybe he will, you know, maybe some losers driving
around somewhere was a tennis executive like, we gotta hire
this guy because nobody else Since what do you think
the nineteen seventies is led with tennis, maybe the eighties,
and it's anyway. I'm not just pointing things out, just
(18:19):
pointing things out later on. If you're with us for
the full journey we will have in our three, ask
Ben your questions are answers coming up? In our number three,
We'll get to whar's the beef coming up? In a minute.
Midnight Walker, who resides in the Queues says, the bees
are buzzing around Ben's head and whispering in Benny's ear.
(18:40):
That Davante looked around the city of Sin and thought,
get me the heck out of here, he says. Ferg
Dog says, even though I have been a lifelong fan
of Brian Finley, that was a low blow by him. Well, yeah,
that is correct, Dog, that is a low blow. Who
(19:00):
else do we have page down here? Stuck in Sacramento
says a plus on the Mallard monologue. Nowhere else in
the vast expanse of sports talk radio will you get
that type of insight, openness, and factual evidence about the
in sensual nature of the NFL. Way to lay it down, Ben,
And by the way, Sacramento sucks. Mickey, who's in state
(19:22):
forty eight. That's Arizona, says great monologue. Regarding Eddie's fellow
Fresno State Bulldog Devonte Adams, he should have gratitude. He's
not playing on a worse team with worse weather and
gray skies, like the Patriots could always be worse. It
could always be worse. Now, double O Mexican, who does
(19:42):
represent the Silver and Black. We've met him, and he says,
DeVante Adams ain't going nowhere unless it is a disaster,
a disaster season for the Raiders, and then all bets off. Now,
if you look at the Raiders here and I don't
want to do the old schedule game. I'm not here
to do the schedule game. I'm not gonna do the
schedule game. But if you just look here the Raiders,
(20:03):
it would be in their their best interest here to
upset the Chargers on Sunday because then after that they
got to play the Ravens in Maryland. That's a problem,
all right, And it is manageable the first like five
weeks of the season for the Raiders, but that that's
a turning point game to start because the Chargers pretty
(20:24):
similar to the Raiders, and Justin Herberts who knows how
healthy he is to play that game. So we'll see
what happens on side. Let's go to the phone stole.
I think there's a counterfeit golden ticket because a guy
that had one of the worst game show performances that
we have seen on password the word Game of the Stars,
is claiming he's cashing a golden ticket. Now, Sean, if
(20:45):
this is a bogus serious Sean, if this is a
bogus golden ticket, you're gonna be banned from the show
for the next two months. Do you understand that?
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Yeah, this map from yesterday, though this is from almost
a month ago.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Well, they do expire. The golden tickets only have a
month lifespan. They have a shelf life of one month,
so if it's been more than a month, that's it. Sean.
Are you on to train again?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (21:10):
No, Unfortunately the plane decided to leave without me today.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Well, as much as we're friends, I don't know your
travel itinerer, I don't. I don't know you. So you
sent me some message about in Barstow or something like that,
but you're now you're telling me there's a plane involved.
I'm confused.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Well, I told the whole thing to Eddie.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
But oh well, I'm sorry, I mean Edie, ed didn't
even show up on time for the show. I mean
it wasn't even here for a meeting.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Heid Okay, I thank.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
You, all right, I don't care who cares. Let's say
all are to Skeeter in Montana. Hello Skeeter, Hello.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
There, mister Mala, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
The man responsible for the Malard Militia oath is our guy,
Skeeter in Montana. You're the reason that we have the
old You're the reason we swear people in. It's all
because of you.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Yeah, I realized that, and I'm sure I'm still honored
by it. I had my first treatment today and I've
been downgraded from stage four to stage one.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
All right, wol Skater, that's a lot. That's great. Yeah,
what's what's the is it? What's the reason in the
medicine working or is something else going on? What's going
on with that?
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Well, there's two nodules and my right long and they
zappened with radiation and they are put needles in me
and made marks and it's like going with the same
thing as a set. They checked that and locate it,
(22:49):
all right, and then then uh then the US the
same machine. They turned the radiation on and zap me.
And that takes about fifty minutes. And I got five
more sessions other Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
How you hold how you're holding up? Are you hanging
in there? I mean this is a long process. Okay, good,
I feel great, wonderful, look at you.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
A lot a lot of appointments and a lot of
this and that and everything. But I'm I'm really happy,
and I'm looking forward to my eighty birthday next April.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
All right, and we'll have it. We'll have a big
on air celebration. We don't do shoutouts, as you know, Skeeter,
but hey, for you, we might make an exception. So
I appreciate just saying that. You know, that's a big,
big number.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
I'm looking forward to the football game from tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And uh yeah, who you got? Now you're going to
go with the Chiefs. So you're going to go the
other way with the ravens.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
I never pick any opponent opponent from from from he is.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Okay, so you're you're chief. I got you, I got you.
I right well, Skeeter, I'm glad you're doing well. That's
great news. We're very happy for you. Keep it up, man,
keep your head up. You're doing great. It sounds like
it's working. So the doctors, whatever they're doing. Just listen
to those guys. They know what they're doing a right,
So thank you. Yeah, that's great. All right, that's wonder
that's what you want. Yeah, all right, be good. Skeeter
take every buddy, our buddy Skeeter in Montana hanging out there.
(24:22):
Where's the beef. Where's the beef? Well, that would be
in Brazil. As the Eagles and Packers head to South
Polo in Brazil, complaining about the lack of security, the lawlessness. Well,
the authorities in Brazil apparently saw that, even though they
banned social media at least x as. The teams open
(24:44):
up on Friday, and the state government in South Polo
has said they will delegate military police to protect. Battalions
of military police have been called in to protect the
NFL players. The fans are probably on your own, but
they're going to reinforce security, they announced. Obviously during the
(25:05):
game they'll have they'll have police officers on the streets
and trains, subway stations, hotels, tourist attractions. The state media says.
They also pointed out the local homicide rate is four
times lower than the national average and compares to that
of California. So all these NFL players ripping sal Polo, Well, yeah,
(25:30):
we go out to California and they say it's actually
below Washington, d C. They claim. But that's who knows.
Fun with numbers, Fun with numbers.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
We had a combined no hitter, a big deal. The
Cubs shut out the Pirates twelve to nothing. Shot Inmanaga,
seven shutout innings. They took him out after ninety five
pitches of an abundance of caution after seven innings, and
then Nate Pearson and Porter Hodge each through Hodge Quorter
Hodge each through one from Quarterville. I think I would
(26:09):
know if he was.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
That's where I grew up. But that's why I.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Said that, Yeah, you know, And there was not only
are these combined no hitters not just not sad, I don't.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Do anything for you any.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
They do not. Also, there were some controversial scoring decisions
in this one. It was a game at Wrigley Field,
game was at Wrigley Field. There were three errors charged
to the Pirates in this one errors to the Cubs
that could have been hits for the Pirates.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Was Mike North, the official score former Morning Guy.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
It's possible he's looking for things to do. I'm sure. Yeah,
first no hitter at Wrigley for the Cubs since nineteen
seventy two, been fun fact. Who was the last pitcher
to throw a no hitter for the Cubs at Wrigley Field,
Greg Maddox, No, it's we have to go further than
Fergie Jack nineteen seventy two. Man, I'm closer the immortal
Milt PAPIs, oh milk papas.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, the pap smere from him, right, No, I don't
know about that. Probably not I made.

Yeah, I don't know, though that was his nickname. I
don't know sure whout that.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I don't know. I don't know if those existed back
in those days. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
We have We have a fun fact. I don't think
we have the imaging for the fun fact today, but
we do have a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Well look at that fun fact.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Mark stepping up. Kyle Schwarber has now tied Alfonso Soriano's
major league record set over twenty years ago, as he
has thirteen leadoff home runs this season for the Fighting Phills.
Kyle Schwarber tied Forget Ricky Henderson or Brady Anderson or
any other great leadoff itters over the heres at Schwarber
(28:14):
and Soriatto in that department. Now, this show is sponsored
by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings
and all that has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings.
The Crown is yours. Let's go to the international line.
A man we have not heard from in some time,
as he has left this country a while back, and
he's in the Ukraine and he is calling us right now.
(28:37):
Is a very expensive phone call. So we say hello
to our friend, a multi platinum Malard Palooza winner and
tremendously talented artist, the Great J. Scoop live in Ukraine. Hello,
Jay Scoop?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
What is everybody in the half from Ukraine? Mornings Lead
Morning Drive? What is going on?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yes, we're doing money job now you have You've been
sending me some updates here. So the power is not
on more than an hour or two a day, Is
that right, Jay Scoop? A might correct, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
It goes through goes through chunks of time usually about
you know, four to six hours a day, I might
get right now, So we're probably gonna cut off here
and at the end of this hour, so and I
apologize for the occasional beeping. We'll just pretend that's a
Russian monitoring us.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
All right, how long have you been there? I remember
when you left, you came in saw us right before
you took off to help the cause there. But how
long have you been over there?
Speaker 7 (29:41):
It's a year and a month right now.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
So wow, and are you are you you know, are
you comfortable? I know, I don't know how you can
be comfortable there because there's there's a war going on.
But have you settled into to the life there?
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Yeah, I mean it's it's pretty much down to the
norm here, other than still trying to learn the language,
you know, like a little bit better. But you know,
I'm as comfortable as I can be when I'm closer
to the front. Obviously, it's a little less comfortable. When
I retreat to the Capitol, it's fairly comfortable. You know.
We still get hit by the rockets and the drones
(30:21):
and everything. Even this morning you can hear the gunfire,
and it's just, you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, for sure. Any plans to come back anytime soon?
Jay Scooper, Are you going to stay there for a
while longer? What's the plan?
Speaker 6 (30:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (30:37):
I was actually already supposed to be back, but I'm
trying to get paperwork for my girlfriend to come back
with me, and it's just this big pain and pain
in the butt for that, so right now, just trying
to wrap that up. Hopefully in the next month or so,
I should be back.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
All right, my man, Well, come back and see us
when you get back here, and stay stay stated, and
you are able to hear the show a little bit, right,
because the power situation's not great there. But you still
you still listen from time to time, right.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Oh for sure. I'm always listening to podcast and live
when I can so. But hey, before i gotta say something,
even if it's on my last words my death, that
I've got to run this by you guys. But the
number two drop, man, I'm demanding a recall, just like
they did the governorship in California. I do not accept
(31:33):
that number two drop that we currently have on their
no offense to the leprechaun.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Well, the leprechauns forming a callers union and threatening to
take the show down. So I'm fine replacing the number two.
I think we need we need you to come back,
Jay Scoop on a clean line, not a line interrupted
by Russian interference there in the Ukraine, and then we
can have you say number two and then we'll use that.
(31:58):
How about that?
Speaker 7 (31:59):
Yes, but it's nothing else. I'm calling on the militia
to come up with a number two drop. That sounds
like you're doing a number two Like, how can you
miss this?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
They have to livery that is a that is a
fair point. That is a fair point. And we still
don't have a number three or a number four, so
we're missing that as well. Jay Scoop.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
It you can't make it sound. You can't make it sound,
just like the number one, number one, number two numbers
got me different? You know number four? You know something different?
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Yeah, no, I hear you. That's a great idea. See,
that's why we need you back in the stage here,
Jay Scoop. We need your your advice to help us
out stay saved. But man, it's great to hear your voice.
Got calls I go. I know it's expensive, but give
us a call when you when you can't.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
All right, for sure? For sure? I love y'all.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Take care. The great Jay Scoop live from Ukraine as
he's he's been sending me messages some time. I mean
he listens and all that stuff. Is tough for him
to call in because there's people dropping bombs where he's living.
So gotcha all right? Uh? Anyway, the go fund me bro,
(33:09):
there's no easy transition. The Florida Gator fans, a group
of fans but maybe just one loser in his basement
in Central Florida, has set up a go fundme page
to buy out coach Billy Napier. We're not sure if
this is even allowed, but people have done this. This
is a great way to get some attention to start
(33:29):
a go fundme page, and they want to send him
to the unemployment line. The current head coach of the
Florida Gators who attacked took a shot at the Gator
fans that live in central Florida in the basement of
their mom's house or whatever he said there. So they're
trying to raise I think this is completely reasonable that
they could do this. They've set up a GoFundMe and
(33:52):
they want to The target is they want to earn
twenty six million dollars, So that's doable right here. Come on,
go through your couch there, take a couple of shekels out.
Boom you good. That's all you need, unless that's not
the case. Time now for the who am I game?
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh is four and oh in season openers. Obviously,
(34:17):
that was during his time with the forty nine ers.
I am the only coach who has more wins than
Jim Harbaugh in season openers without a loss or a
tie in NFL history. Again Jim Harbaugh four and oh
in season openers back in his days in Northern California.
But I'm the only coach who has more wins in
(34:40):
openers without a loss or a tie in NFL history.
Who am I? That's the question the answer. We'll get
to it. We'll do it next.

that when we are aren't even the Who am I
game in a moment who Texas Trucker, though, said, what
(35:44):
a great start to the show. Great news about Skeeter
getting a call from Jay Scoop in the Ukraine. If
it wasn't for Finley leading with tennis, we would be
looking at a perfect show rating in our number one.
So we were that close. Let the record show from
Texas Trucker. If it had not been for numb Nuts,
(36:05):
we would have had a perfect hour of talk radio masshole.
Mickey Checkson says Jayscoop caller of the Year for twenty
twenty four. And yeah, Robbie the Merrin Defen says Jay Scoop.
His voice audio quality even from Ukraine still better than
half the callers on the show. Anyway, that's about right.
(36:27):
Here is the who am I? Game? Where we pretend
to be somebody else. Jim Harbaugh, the head coach of
the Chargers, is four to zero and season openers did
that with the Niners. I am the only coach who
has more wins in season openers without a loss or
tie in NFL. His story, who am I? That is
the question. What is the answer? Kathy in Madison's going
(36:50):
with a Ukrainian dog as the answer Cowboy Killer says
it is Craig T. Nelson TV's coach Hayden Fox Sam
Retigliano from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Nick went with Porter
dodge Pee Wee Reese was guessed by the Trucker. Who

This is a very important who am I gave questioning?
Speaker 5 (38:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Jim Harbaugh four oh in season openers back with the Niners.
I'm the only coach who has more wins in openers
without a loss or tie in NFL history.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
It's got to be former Vikings legendary head coach Mike Tice.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Is it Mike Tice with a pencil behind his ear?
The Vikings that missed their pick with Mike Tyson. No,
that is incorrect, but hollering James approves of that. The
correct answer. From the nineteen eighties New England Patriots, do
you remember a guy named Raymond Berry? Raymond Barry, game
wide receiver. Yeah, still alive, by the way, that's a
(38:49):
shocker ninety one. Good job by you, Raymond Berry.
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome the calm before the pig skin storm. As it
is the fifth day of September, a Thursday, and it
is on like Football Kong. Tonight the NFL returns and
we talk all things football and whatnot. Here in hour one,
we'll go to Vegas. Is de Vonte Adams happy or
(00:24):
unhappy in a Raiders' uniform? Also, what is your reaction
to this commander's vice president suspended over candid camera comments?
Saved for posterity's sake? Also the other story here, Jason
Kelsey isn't sure if working for the Eagles is an
issue with his television work. If this conflict of interest,
(00:48):
how do you see this one? We'll talk about that
as well. It's all coming your way right now here.
It is give it up for our number one? Is
it love or is it not love? Well come, in
the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere you there, me here
(01:13):
as we hide out in the seaview tavern trying to
avoid Tennis propaganda coast to coast, border the border and beyond.
On the vast and flashily powerful microphones of FSR ammating

(01:59):
Joe writers and he loves that, loves that live read.
So I lead this hour. We're going to start out
in Lost Wages, Nevada. I have to get all of
my Malard monologues about the Raiders out before the season beginning.
I think the Raiders actually will be better than most.
I think there'll be average, but average doesn't really move
(02:19):
the needle in these parts, so that's a bit of
a problem. But the Raiders do have the blessing of
low expectations. People down on Gardeners or just Gardner Gardner
Minshew who is QB one there not a popular pick
by popular people. Now, regardless of that, we go where
the stories of the day take us the news of
the day, and there's a story that caught my attention.
(02:41):
I thought it was kind of interesting here and it
involves the ongoing saga around Davante Adams, the Raiders wide receiver.
Davonte Adams, who, if you believe the story now, is
spitting mad. He's very upset at a former can temporary
(03:01):
in the NFL back in the day, DeShawn Watson, Deshaun Jackson,
not Deshaun Watson, Deshaun Jackson. He's upset with DeShawn jacks
We get Deshaun Watson later, but Davante is not happy.
He's not happy with DeShawn Jackson because DeShawn went on
a podcast because nobody has podcasts and he had to
say something. H and DeShawn Jackson claimed that Devonte Adams
(03:27):
was not happy in Vegas, and Adams responded to that,
I know you're dying to hear what he has to
sim is one thing that you have to worry about
and I have to worry about in our lives and
we're just trying to make it through life, and we
have to worry about how a gazillionaire football player is
handling the team he's with. So here's what Adams muttered.
(03:49):
He said, at the end of the day, the facts
are the facts, and that is not a fact. I
don't think he said jack At the end of he
said fact. And here's the continuation of the quote. Davante
Adams said, I have probably spoken to Deshaun Jackson maybe
three or four times in my life, the Raider receiver said,
(04:10):
and I never had a conversation with him about this
meaning this topic ever. And I put that on my kids.
Wwis putting his kids' safety on the line. Wow, says
I've never spoken to you about anything. Adams also said
the only person he shares his public feelings with is
(04:32):
his wife. Maybe his wife's the one riting out Davante.
I don't know, all right, So let us discuss the
question is DeVante Adams happy or unhappy in Vegas? All right?
So I've got beekeeper, espionage, and cabal, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
(04:54):
to lay the pavement for this mathed monologue. So a
looking at this logically, because you turn the overnight talk
radio for logic. If you look at this logically, there
are only two plausible scenarios involving these constant Davonte Adams
rumors of him being a curmudgeon with the Raiders right now.
(05:20):
Door number one is that DeVante Adams is just depressed.
He thought that things would be different. He went there
to play with his college buddy, mister Carr, and then
that didn't work out, and so now they got this
parade of quarterbacks and he's upset and all that. He
likes the money, but he's not happy with the team. Now.
(05:40):
Door number two is that someone or a group of
people are out to get Devonte Adams, that they're leaking
these stories and some of it's made up, some of
it's not made up, but it's old fashioned mudslinging. And
after a review of the available evidence, the verdict is
(06:04):
in or go the bee keeper. I always used the
bee keeper when I'm trying to get to the bottom
of something. Now, the beekeeper they have a saying there
where there are bees, you will find honey. And there's
a fair amount of bees buzzing around Devonte Adams. If
(06:25):
I'm hearing it, and who am I, I'm nobody. If
I'm hearing this. I've been hearing this for a couple
of years. There's something there, right, There's something there. Now
if you look at the key indicators around Davonte Adams,
and those give some cryptic clues. I think will agree,
poor body language during games. We've seen that many times now.
The counter argument is, it's hard to have good body language.
(06:47):
The Raiders have played pretty mediocre football with Devonte Adams,
so you've got that, and it kind of flummix with
the roster the way things have gone. And he would
rather be with his bestie, Aaron Rodgers, hanging out at
some diner in New Jersey. And so you've got all
these things together. But this is a subplot that is
(07:09):
going to shadow the Raiders for many, many weeks. They
pushed back the NFL trade deadline this year till November fifth,
so it's a few days later, usually on Halloween, so
it's a few days after that. And so after week nine,
after week nine, that is the trade deadline. And so
up until that point, Raiders get off to a slow start.
(07:32):
They get hammered by the Chargers on Sunday. Expect some
DeVante Adam noise to come up there. Devonte Adam's name
will be bouncing around. The Raiders are in contention, likely not,
but if they're they're sucking. If they're two to seven
at the deadline, then we got something, all right. Now,
page do we go to the DMV a tabloid like
(07:56):
story here. The Commander's a team that has a tempy name, embarrassing.
So they have suspended a vice president you have never
heard of for derogatory comments that he made allegedly on camera. Now,
a woman we don't know who. She was working undercover
(08:18):
for James O'Keefe's Project Veritas, and went on a couple
of dates with a gentleman who works for the commanders,
a VP of content. His name's not important because you
don't know who he is. I don't know who he is.
But they went out on a date and a couple
of them. And this lady, she was recording everything for
(08:41):
posterity's sake, and she recorded this cat saying that the
NFL players, I'm gonna give you all the big ones here.
There's more to it, but I'll give you the big ones,
the big pillars. So this guy said over dinner or
drinks that NFL players are homophobic, That you and I
fans of the NFL are mouth breathers. We're alcoholic mouth breathers.
(09:06):
So we've got that, and that all the social justice
slogans and all the cute little sayings and the commercials
and all that they've been doing the last couple of years,
are insincere that they're doing it to make money. Now,
what is your reaction on what is your reaction to
the non descript commander's vice president being suspended over his
(09:32):
candid camera commentary. So I want to point out before
we get into this, this is akin to going to
Churchill Downs and hitting the trifecta good afternoon, good evening,
and good night and all of that. And he called
out the NFL. He just summed it all up to
(09:56):
someone who at the time he didn't really know who
this person was. Obviously, other wise he would have realized
he was being recorded. And he called out the NFL
for being a complete fraud operation while working for the NFL. Now,
how do you think that went over with the NFL?
Of course, And this is the oldest trick in the
book espionage via the honey trap. The honey trap is
(10:18):
the way to go. This guy is flapping his gums
trying to impress this woman and now he's cooked. Right,
he'll never work in the NFL again. And the spin doctors,
the crisis management team for the NFL, was activated, and
the same old song and dance, just like It reminds
me of when the NBA had Tim donnahe and he
(10:40):
was gambling on NBA games and David Stern, the commission
at the time, said, well, he's a lone wolf. I'm
already seeing some of that onlines. Well in the NFL
leaking this to their usefullet as well, this guy, this
is his own opinion, he's a lone wolf and all that.
I would argue to stay tuned because from what I know,
and I don't follow this stuff that closely, I'm in
(11:01):
the toy department over here, but from what I've seen
in the past is I remember usually when they come
out with all of these candid videos, it's not just one.
There's other people that are also recorded, and they wait
a couple of days and then they leak up some
other videos. All right, last word. Here we go now
to Phildelphia the Eagles. They open up on Friday with
(11:26):
the Packers. That game is in Brazil. It's on Peacock
that there's something else on Peacock that I like a lot. Anyway,
Former center Jason Kelsey recently said that he is not
sure if the fact that he's working for the Eagles
he has a ambassador role for the Eagles is an
(11:47):
issue with his television work, So how do you see
this one? Kelsey seemed confused that there could be some
kind of issue here, So Jason Kelsey, let me help
him out here. I know he's bathing in the money
(12:07):
from Taylor Swift thanks to his brother, but this is
absolutely a conflict of interest. He's compromised. Jason Kelsey's compromise.
He's getting a check to commentate to critique NFL players
while at the same time being paid to only whisper
sweet nothings for the Eagles. However, it's perfectly fine because
(12:31):
this is not the federal government. It's the NFL. The
NFL's run like a cabal, and in the cupball you're fine.
There's no separation of church and state in the NFL.
They're all united under the same umbrella. That's why it
was so fugesey. The talk to Tom Brady, if he
ends up getting the Raider ownership deal, will have to
leave Fox or vice versa. If he wants to stay
(12:53):
at Fox. He can't do the Raider thing because everyone
is in cohoots with everyone else. They're all under that
same umbrella. They're in the same basket and they're in
bed with each other. And that's just the way it operates.
It is the Ben Mallor Show. If you're like t
be part, you can join us here as we will
(13:13):
continue on for now, subject to change with these speak
easy rules. But you can call up and scream and
shout and all that stuff. There are a bunch of
lines open. In fact, every line is open. We haven't
taken a call yet, so that's usually how it works.
We unlease the hounds and you are free to call in.
I get an update here, the gremlins, Eddie doing the
(13:33):
updates from home, the gremlins attacking Eddie. That was rather shocking.
And then Brian Finley comes in here and does an
infomercial for tennis. Because that's why people don't trust the media.
It's like a damn infomercial for tennis. Know thy audience
or don't know thy audience? I yeah, I don't know.
It seems rather odd to me, but man, that's an
(13:54):
odd choice to make the baseball pennant races we're doing
here tennis. Man, All right, where is the beef? Where
is the beef? We'll get to that and we will
do it next.

Nowadays, I know there's like there's so many cameras. I
think that's where our bonus went. I think it all
went to the where it went, yes, because there's like
we don't get bonuses anymore around here, but they got more.
There's a there there are cameras on the floor there,
like tons of them. Wild late night drug tester rights
and says, I was worried there was a nuclear disaster
(17:16):
or a major earthquake in l A and FSR started
replaying an old episode that focused on tennis. For some reason.
Glad all of you wes said, yeah, Brian, we have
a conspiracy theory that that Brian just figured since Eddy
wasn't here, he had a he had a freebie, so
you can just do whatever he wanted. He was walking
(17:36):
the hallway. He was giggling while he was doing his
because I was, well, it was unprofessional because what he
led with is unprofessional. I mean that's this is broadcasting,
not narrow casting. But my theory is he's trying to
get a tennis play by play job.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
I thought already had one.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
No, he wants like a legit so he can leave
this place.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Oh, he wants to like replace Patrick McEnroe's I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
He wants like a big time TV tennis job, and
he figures it. He comes in here and sucks up
to the tennis people that he'll get one of those job,
and maybe he will, you know, maybe some losers driving
around somewhere was a tennis executive like, we gotta hire
this guy because nobody else Since what do you think
the nineteen seventies is led with tennis, maybe the eighties,
and it's anyway. I'm not just pointing things out, just
(18:19):
pointing things out later on. If you're with us for
the full journey we will have in our three, ask
Ben your questions are answers coming up? In our number three,
We'll get to whar's the beef coming up? In a minute.
Midnight Walker, who resides in the Queues says, the bees
are buzzing around Ben's head and whispering in Benny's ear.
(18:40):
That Davante looked around the city of Sin and thought,
get me the heck out of here, he says. Ferg
Dog says, even though I have been a lifelong fan
of Brian Finley, that was a low blow by him. Well, yeah,
that is correct, Dog, that is a low blow. Who
(19:00):
else do we have page down here? Stuck in Sacramento
says a plus on the Mallard monologue. Nowhere else in
the vast expanse of sports talk radio will you get
that type of insight, openness, and factual evidence about the
in sensual nature of the NFL. Way to lay it down, Ben,
And by the way, Sacramento sucks. Mickey, who's in state
(19:22):
forty eight. That's Arizona, says great monologue. Regarding Eddie's fellow
Fresno State Bulldog Devonte Adams, he should have gratitude. He's
not playing on a worse team with worse weather and
gray skies, like the Patriots could always be worse. It
could always be worse. Now, double O Mexican, who does
(19:42):
represent the Silver and Black. We've met him, and he says,
DeVante Adams ain't going nowhere unless it is a disaster,
a disaster season for the Raiders, and then all bets off. Now,
if you look at the Raiders here and I don't
want to do the old schedule game. I'm not here
to do the schedule game. I'm not gonna do the
schedule game. But if you just look here the Raiders,
(20:03):
it would be in their their best interest here to
upset the Chargers on Sunday because then after that they
got to play the Ravens in Maryland. That's a problem,
all right, And it is manageable the first like five
weeks of the season for the Raiders, but that that's
a turning point game to start because the Chargers pretty
(20:24):
similar to the Raiders, and Justin Herberts who knows how
healthy he is to play that game. So we'll see
what happens on side. Let's go to the phone stole.
I think there's a counterfeit golden ticket because a guy
that had one of the worst game show performances that
we have seen on password the word Game of the Stars,
is claiming he's cashing a golden ticket. Now, Sean, if
(20:45):
this is a bogus serious Sean, if this is a
bogus golden ticket, you're gonna be banned from the show
for the next two months. Do you understand that?
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Yeah, this map from yesterday, though this is from almost
a month ago.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Well, they do expire. The golden tickets only have a
month lifespan. They have a shelf life of one month,
so if it's been more than a month, that's it. Sean.
Are you on to train again?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (21:10):
No, Unfortunately the plane decided to leave without me today.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Well, as much as we're friends, I don't know your
travel itinerer, I don't. I don't know you. So you
sent me some message about in Barstow or something like that,
but you're now you're telling me there's a plane involved.
I'm confused.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Well, I told the whole thing to Eddie.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
But oh well, I'm sorry, I mean Edie, ed didn't
even show up on time for the show. I mean
it wasn't even here for a meeting.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Heid Okay, I thank.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
You, all right, I don't care who cares. Let's say
all are to Skeeter in Montana. Hello Skeeter, Hello.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
There, mister Mala, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
The man responsible for the Malard Militia oath is our guy,
Skeeter in Montana. You're the reason that we have the
old You're the reason we swear people in. It's all
because of you.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Yeah, I realized that, and I'm sure I'm still honored
by it. I had my first treatment today and I've
been downgraded from stage four to stage one.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
All right, wol Skater, that's a lot. That's great. Yeah,
what's what's the is it? What's the reason in the
medicine working or is something else going on? What's going
on with that?
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Well, there's two nodules and my right long and they
zappened with radiation and they are put needles in me
and made marks and it's like going with the same
thing as a set. They checked that and locate it,
(22:49):
all right, and then then uh then the US the
same machine. They turned the radiation on and zap me.
And that takes about fifty minutes. And I got five
more sessions other Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
How you hold how you're holding up? Are you hanging
in there? I mean this is a long process. Okay, good,
I feel great, wonderful, look at you.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
A lot a lot of appointments and a lot of
this and that and everything. But I'm I'm really happy,
and I'm looking forward to my eighty birthday next April.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
All right, and we'll have it. We'll have a big
on air celebration. We don't do shoutouts, as you know, Skeeter,
but hey, for you, we might make an exception. So
I appreciate just saying that. You know, that's a big,
big number.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
I'm looking forward to the football game from tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And uh yeah, who you got? Now you're going to
go with the Chiefs. So you're going to go the
other way with the ravens.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
I never pick any opponent opponent from from from he is.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Okay, so you're you're chief. I got you, I got you.
I right well, Skeeter, I'm glad you're doing well. That's
great news. We're very happy for you. Keep it up, man,
keep your head up. You're doing great. It sounds like
it's working. So the doctors, whatever they're doing. Just listen
to those guys. They know what they're doing a right,
So thank you. Yeah, that's great. All right, that's wonder
that's what you want. Yeah, all right, be good. Skeeter
take every buddy, our buddy Skeeter in Montana hanging out there.
(24:22):
Where's the beef. Where's the beef? Well, that would be
in Brazil. As the Eagles and Packers head to South
Polo in Brazil, complaining about the lack of security, the lawlessness. Well,
the authorities in Brazil apparently saw that, even though they
banned social media at least x as. The teams open
(24:44):
up on Friday, and the state government in South Polo
has said they will delegate military police to protect. Battalions
of military police have been called in to protect the
NFL players. The fans are probably on your own, but
they're going to reinforce security, they announced. Obviously during the
(25:05):
game they'll have they'll have police officers on the streets
and trains, subway stations, hotels, tourist attractions. The state media says.
They also pointed out the local homicide rate is four
times lower than the national average and compares to that
of California. So all these NFL players ripping sal Polo, Well, yeah,
(25:30):
we go out to California and they say it's actually
below Washington, d C. They claim. But that's who knows.
Fun with numbers, Fun with numbers.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
We had a combined no hitter, a big deal. The
Cubs shut out the Pirates twelve to nothing. Shot Inmanaga,
seven shutout innings. They took him out after ninety five
pitches of an abundance of caution after seven innings, and
then Nate Pearson and Porter Hodge each through Hodge Quorter
Hodge each through one from Quarterville. I think I would
(26:09):
know if he was.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
That's where I grew up. But that's why I.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Said that, Yeah, you know, And there was not only
are these combined no hitters not just not sad, I don't.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Do anything for you any.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
They do not. Also, there were some controversial scoring decisions
in this one. It was a game at Wrigley Field,
game was at Wrigley Field. There were three errors charged
to the Pirates in this one errors to the Cubs
that could have been hits for the Pirates.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Was Mike North, the official score former Morning Guy.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
It's possible he's looking for things to do. I'm sure. Yeah,
first no hitter at Wrigley for the Cubs since nineteen
seventy two, been fun fact. Who was the last pitcher
to throw a no hitter for the Cubs at Wrigley Field,
Greg Maddox, No, it's we have to go further than
Fergie Jack nineteen seventy two. Man, I'm closer the immortal
Milt PAPIs, oh milk papas.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, the pap smere from him, right, No, I don't
know about that. Probably not I made.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Yeah, I don't know, though that was his nickname. I
don't know sure whout that.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I don't know. I don't know if those existed back
in those days. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I don't know my pap smear knowledge, to be honest
with you, A knowledge. Speaking of that, we go to

we do have a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Well look at that fun fact.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Mark stepping up. Kyle Schwarber has now tied Alfonso Soriano's
major league record set over twenty years ago, as he
has thirteen leadoff home runs this season for the Fighting Phills.
Kyle Schwarber tied Forget Ricky Henderson or Brady Anderson or
any other great leadoff itters over the heres at Schwarber
(28:14):
and Soriatto in that department. Now, this show is sponsored
by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings
and all that has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings.
The Crown is yours. Let's go to the international line.
A man we have not heard from in some time,
as he has left this country a while back, and
he's in the Ukraine and he is calling us right now.
(28:37):
Is a very expensive phone call. So we say hello
to our friend, a multi platinum Malard Palooza winner and
tremendously talented artist, the Great J. Scoop live in Ukraine. Hello,
Jay Scoop?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
What is everybody in the half from Ukraine? Mornings Lead
Morning Drive? What is going on?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yes, we're doing money job now you have You've been
sending me some updates here. So the power is not
on more than an hour or two a day, Is
that right, Jay Scoop? A might correct, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
It goes through goes through chunks of time usually about
you know, four to six hours a day, I might
get right now, So we're probably gonna cut off here
and at the end of this hour, so and I
apologize for the occasional beeping. We'll just pretend that's a
Russian monitoring us.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
All right, how long have you been there? I remember
when you left, you came in saw us right before
you took off to help the cause there. But how
long have you been over there?
Speaker 7 (29:41):
It's a year and a month right now.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
So wow, and are you are you you know, are
you comfortable? I know, I don't know how you can
be comfortable there because there's there's a war going on.
But have you settled into to the life there?
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Yeah, I mean it's it's pretty much down to the
norm here, other than still trying to learn the language,
you know, like a little bit better. But you know,
I'm as comfortable as I can be when I'm closer
to the front. Obviously, it's a little less comfortable. When
I retreat to the Capitol, it's fairly comfortable. You know.
We still get hit by the rockets and the drones
(30:21):
and everything. Even this morning you can hear the gunfire,
and it's just, you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, for sure. Any plans to come back anytime soon?
Jay Scooper, Are you going to stay there for a
while longer? What's the plan?
Speaker 6 (30:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (30:37):
I was actually already supposed to be back, but I'm
trying to get paperwork for my girlfriend to come back
with me, and it's just this big pain and pain
in the butt for that, so right now, just trying
to wrap that up. Hopefully in the next month or so,
I should be back.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
All right, my man, Well, come back and see us
when you get back here, and stay stay stated, and
you are able to hear the show a little bit, right,
because the power situation's not great there. But you still
you still listen from time to time, right.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Oh for sure. I'm always listening to podcast and live
when I can so. But hey, before i gotta say something,
even if it's on my last words my death, that
I've got to run this by you guys. But the
number two drop, man, I'm demanding a recall, just like
they did the governorship in California. I do not accept
(31:33):
that number two drop that we currently have on their
no offense to the leprechaun.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Well, the leprechauns forming a callers union and threatening to
take the show down. So I'm fine replacing the number two.
I think we need we need you to come back,
Jay Scoop on a clean line, not a line interrupted
by Russian interference there in the Ukraine, and then we
can have you say number two and then we'll use that.
(31:58):
How about that?
Speaker 7 (31:59):
Yes, but it's nothing else. I'm calling on the militia
to come up with a number two drop. That sounds
like you're doing a number two Like, how can you
miss this?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
They have to livery that is a that is a
fair point. That is a fair point. And we still
don't have a number three or a number four, so
we're missing that as well. Jay Scoop.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
It you can't make it sound. You can't make it sound,
just like the number one, number one, number two numbers
got me different? You know number four? You know something different?
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Yeah, no, I hear you. That's a great idea. See,
that's why we need you back in the stage here,
Jay Scoop. We need your your advice to help us
out stay saved. But man, it's great to hear your voice.
Got calls I go. I know it's expensive, but give
us a call when you when you can't.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
All right, for sure? For sure? I love y'all.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Take care. The great Jay Scoop live from Ukraine as
he's he's been sending me messages some time. I mean
he listens and all that stuff. Is tough for him
to call in because there's people dropping bombs where he's living.
So gotcha all right? Uh? Anyway, the go fund me bro,
(33:09):
there's no easy transition. The Florida Gator fans, a group
of fans but maybe just one loser in his basement
in Central Florida, has set up a go fundme page
to buy out coach Billy Napier. We're not sure if
this is even allowed, but people have done this. This
is a great way to get some attention to start
(33:29):
a go fundme page, and they want to send him
to the unemployment line. The current head coach of the
Florida Gators who attacked took a shot at the Gator
fans that live in central Florida in the basement of
their mom's house or whatever he said there. So they're
trying to raise I think this is completely reasonable that
they could do this. They've set up a GoFundMe and
(33:52):
they want to The target is they want to earn
twenty six million dollars, So that's doable right here. Come on,
go through your couch there, take a couple of shekels out.
Boom you good. That's all you need, unless that's not
the case. Time now for the who am I game?
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh is four and oh in season openers. Obviously,
(34:17):
that was during his time with the forty nine ers.
I am the only coach who has more wins than
Jim Harbaugh in season openers without a loss or a
tie in NFL history. Again Jim Harbaugh four and oh
in season openers back in his days in Northern California.
But I'm the only coach who has more wins in
(34:40):
openers without a loss or a tie in NFL history.
Who am I? That's the question the answer. We'll get
to it. We'll do it next.

a member of the English Parliament from days of yore. Okay,
who else we have page down? We will skip over
that when we are aren't even the Who am I
game in a moment who Texas Trucker, though, said, what
(35:44):
a great start to the show. Great news about Skeeter
getting a call from Jay Scoop in the Ukraine. If
it wasn't for Finley leading with tennis, we would be
looking at a perfect show rating in our number one.
So we were that close. Let the record show from
Texas Trucker. If it had not been for numb Nuts,
(36:05):
we would have had a perfect hour of talk radio masshole.
Mickey Checkson says Jayscoop caller of the Year for twenty
twenty four. And yeah, Robbie the Merrin Defen says Jay Scoop.
His voice audio quality even from Ukraine still better than
half the callers on the show. Anyway, that's about right.
(36:27):
Here is the who am I? Game? Where we pretend
to be somebody else. Jim Harbaugh, the head coach of
the Chargers, is four to zero and season openers did
that with the Niners. I am the only coach who
has more wins in season openers without a loss or
tie in NFL. His story, who am I? That is
the question. What is the answer? Kathy in Madison's going
(36:50):
with a Ukrainian dog as the answer Cowboy Killer says
it is Craig T. Nelson TV's coach Hayden Fox Sam
Retigliano from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Nick went with Porter
dodge Pee Wee Reese was guessed by the Trucker. Who
else do we have? Page down Tom Selleck from mister
(37:12):
Nice Guy?
Speaker 5 (37:14):
Who else?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Michael Keaton, who is seventy three today? From the Late
Night Drug Tester. Nick and Wisconsin goes in with the
iconic Ray Rhodes alf the alien ol Piner checking in
with one of my old radio friends, a part of
the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association, the Great Jim Mora.
We couldn't do Diddley Pooh on offense playoffs? Who else
(37:37):
do we have a? Cletus Buckwattle from Milkman Mike in Colorado,
Dan Wilson from Robbie the Mariner fan. You ready for
a new manager? There? Robbie again? John Arbuckle guest by
Benito the long Suffering Cowboy fan. Matt the Warrior Raider
fan went with rich co Tite as his answer. Weeb
you bank from I forty Ian, Uh, I can't read that,
(38:01):
Buddy Ryan Guessed by Dante and Cortesis says, hey, Jay scoops,
stay safe. Do you have an answer? I need an answer, Eddie.
This is a very important who am I gave questioning?
Speaker 5 (38:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Jim Harbaugh four oh in season openers back with the Niners.
I'm the only coach who has more wins in openers
without a loss or tie in NFL history.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
It's got to be former Vikings legendary head coach Mike Tice.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Is it Mike Tice with a pencil behind his ear?
The Vikings that missed their pick with Mike Tyson. No,
that is incorrect, but hollering James approves of that. The
correct answer. From the nineteen eighties New England Patriots, do
you remember a guy named Raymond Berry? Raymond Barry, game
wide receiver. Yeah, still alive, by the way, that's a
(38:49):
shocker ninety one. Good job by you, Raymond Berry.
