This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Is it a case of cry Uncle? Well, come in,
not be getting have another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere in collaboration as we are.
You're nowhere lounge coast to coast, border, the border and beyond.
(00:56):

a little little voice in my head that Andy the
comic book guy has about ten thousand riding on the
Buffalo Bills in that game with the Dolphins on a
(01:41):
Thursday night, give or take, Give or take on that.
So our lead this hour is from the Graham. We're
gonna start with the Graham. Now, why are we going
to start with the Graham? Because we have a mantra
on this show. You go where the news of theday
takes you. And you heard me right, the news of
the day in sports, it begins and in many ways
(02:01):
ends on the social network, the sparkle of the social network,
the great sports talk radio chatter. Now, if you've been
out of the loop because you actually have a life,
maybe you have a job and things that you have
to do, and you can't obsess with this nonsense all
the time. A wild story involving a Hall of Fame
(02:25):
level player, a legend of the game, turn media blow hard,
and the trending viral story of the day. So if
you did not see this, and perhaps you missed it,
our old friend Shannon Sharp decided he wanted to do
some Instagram live. Do it live, We'll do it live,
(02:47):
and he did it live. Boy did he do it live.
He performed the devil's dance with a woman. All we
know is the woman's name, Michelle. We don't know who
she is other than her name, but we don't know
her last name anything like that. She was not on camera.
But Shannon sharps, you know what, it's September eleventh. What
better way to honor those that lost their lives on
(03:08):
September eleventh? Then let's have some sex on Instagram live
and boom he did. It was wonderful, now, he claimed.
Someone who works for him claim, well, I didn't count
got hacked and all that. It was a quick statement
that went up on social media. Not that quick because
nobody stopped him while he was going to poundtown. So anyway,
(03:30):
the statement said that he was hacked this morning. The
team is working to figure it out. Blah blah blah
blah blah. Well, good news. Inspector Gadget was on the case,
Go Go Gadget and cracked the code. Hours later. Sharp
responded on his Fledgling podcast by saying it was me
a healthy active mail. He said they had more to
(03:52):
say than that, but let us discuss the question, all right.
NFL Hall of Fame ballplayer Shannon Sharp pro football all
of player, Shannon Sharp, the sex tape caper. What are
your thoughts on a roller coaster kind of a day?
So I've got p T Barnum, pavement and cosplay, and
(04:15):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a basket, a wicker basket like
Derek Jeter has where you put your phone in the basket.
What's in the basket? Put your phone in the basket?
All right, So a wonderful way to wake up. Wonderful
way to wake up, as you know doing the overnight show.
(04:36):
Don't go to bed till very early in the morning
and wake up early afternoon. I actually had some things
to do here for the company, so I was up
earlier than I normally am and spent a lot of
time in the car. But I woke up a bunch
of message. Do you see this, oh man, Shannon Sharp's
making Whoopie And I'm not talking about the hockey team
and making Georgia. Back in the day where our friend
(04:56):
Turk Stevens used to work no audio own Now this
was audio only. There was video, but you couldn't you know,
you couldn't say see what was going on. It was
like the camera it was like on a bed and
the people were next to the camera, but the camera
was not where it needed to be to get the
full the full Monty. So the story now we don't
(05:18):
know who the co star again was. We're not sure
who that person was, but clearly Shannon Sharp said, you
know what, let's have some afternoon delight and he went
for it. The the hacking part of it, though, that
lasted not very long at all. They had a get together,
there's some kind of meet and greet, their own meet
(05:39):
and greet there Shannon Sharp and the people that work
for Shannon Sharp, and they realized, we are sitting on
a pile of gold, Bouyon, we have to take advantage
of this. We gotta go for it. Yes, And when
he realized how much money this could be worth, suddenly
he was mister honest. He no longer got hacked. It
(06:03):
was P. T. Barnum who once said there's no such
thing as bad publicity, right, and there's others that have
pointed out as long as they spell your name right,
that's all that matters. So in the Internet world, the
currency of the Internet, which is all about engagement that
leads to revenue, so you can do the algebra on this.
(06:24):
So they rushed to do a podcast, and they want
to make sure everyone knew about it. It's all about
the pod. It's all about the pod, all right. So okay, fine,
So they threw a podcast up and Shannon Sharp hanging
out with Chad Johnson at one point known as Oto Sinko.
So they did that, And the question I have for
(06:47):
the esteem panel here, does this make Shannon Sharp Disney's
first porn star because he works for Disney? Right, he's
an ESPN employee. This also shows you he does not
really care about working for ESPN. Right. I know we
worked at Fox for a while FS one, but maybe
they've changed their standards. Haven't been to Disneyland in a while.
I don't know that I like a porn porn land.
(07:09):
There is that like, I don't know. I have no
idea anyway. It's I will say, based on my experience
trying to recreate the situation, at least the Instagram live thing.
It's very hard to make that mistake. It's not like
a simple thing. There's a lot of a lot of
steps to go on the Instagram Live there. And so
(07:30):
the idea that that Shannon Sharp and he told this
story on his little podcast there that he was fussing
around on his phone and then I guess it's like
he put the phone on the bed and there was
some unplayed bauchi ka wow wow. And then he didn't
realize it and he said, I have never gone on
Instagram live. I have no idea how to do that.
Blah blah blah blah blah. But based on my investigation
(07:54):
and again we activated them IB, the Malard Investigative Bureau,
and we looked at it, and it does appear it's
impossible impossible to accidentally go on Instagram Live. No, I
will be positive here because I thought once the initial
bull crap came out while he's CELEBRITI oh, I got hacked.
(08:16):
Remember Ray Allen years ago was a basketball player for
the Celtics and the Heat, and he sent out a
very racy comment on what was then known as Twitter
as I got hacked. Yeah no, you didn't, you know.
I think it was a long list here. But the
thing that I will credit Shannon Sharp is they went
to self deprecating humor and that's the move here, that's
(08:39):
the play. Good job by them. Chad Johnson said, I
saw a clip. I don't watch the thing I saw clip.
He said that Shannon Sharp, based on watching the Instagram live,
needs to work on his cardio, and he implied that
that session, the afternoon session, there was a short session.
(08:59):
Sharp claimed it was a full feature, not some kind
of YouTube short. So high fives and handshakes all around.
Now turn the page we go to since Cinnati, we've
got water bottle gate, the ben Goals who played like
the Button goals the way they performed there against the
Patriots over the weekend, and now heading into Week two
(09:20):
and a game that I had looked forward to prior
to the season, which does not have the same panache
to it anymore, and we've got water Bottlegate. The Bengals
are supposed to play, and they are scheduled to play
the Chiefs this weekend. A video went viral seemed like
a mostly benign video, claiming the show Joe Burrow struggling
(09:44):
to drink from a water bottle on the Bengals bench. Now,
the quarterback was asked about this. Joe Burrow says that
his wrist is absolutely not affecting his throat, so I'm
sure that's completely honest. We know that football people do
not lie, right mister Shanahan up there in the Bay Area,
Yet nobody lies. So he says it's not affecting his
(10:06):
throw as Joe Burrow. Does that pass the eyeball test?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Not?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Is it not passed the eyeball test. It doesn't pass
the bifocal test either. It's certainly cloudy. Joe Burrow looked
like a shell of himself. Is that just the early
season blues? It was not a if you look at
the pavement, it was not smooth pavement. There were a
lot of potholes in the pavement there. So you gotta
(10:33):
do better and be better. And the Bengals just seemed
like they were going down la la la la la la,
Like did they realize it was the regular season? Maybe
they thought it was another exhibition game. Until Joe Burrow
plays like the player we remember Joe Burrow to be
consistently has a vintage performance. This is going to shadow
(10:56):
him and it should. He will be doubted and rightfully
so all right now, last we go to New Jersey,
crossed the way from New York. The Giants they play
in New Jersey, they like to claim to the New
York Giants. So a quarterback. Daniel Jones, the embattled quarterback
(11:16):
of the Giants, says he has been doubted for a
long time and he has dealt with it. He was
asked about the fans there, the hoodlums that waited for
him to leave the stadium so they could boo him,
and there were people burning his jersey and all that stuff.
So he says, hey, I've been doubted a long time
and I've dealt with it. What are your thoughts on that?
(11:36):
So this is the standard response. Every athlete things that
the world's out to get them and they've overcome the
odds and all that. The problem with this one is
the people that should be doubting Daniel Jones are not
doubting him. The fans know this guy's a dog with fleas, right,
the fans know this guy can't play. But yet the
(11:59):
people he work, that's the that's the conundrum. They don't
realize that. They clearly don't. Yeah, a guy calling sports
radio Tony from Long Island will goof on Danny Dimes. Ah,
Danny Dimes, is this, that and the other thing, But
the people in charge, no, what is my evidence?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I mean, my little elevator pitch here. So after a
block college career at Duke, I know he plays well
at Duke. So so so college quarterback at Duke, Jones
was picked number six overall, top ten pick in the
draft back in twenty nineteen. Why because the Giants believed
(12:40):
in him, right, And the main reason they drafted him
is because of cosplay that this cat from Duke, Danny
Dimes had figured out if I just do an impersonation
of Eli Manning, these dopes with the Giants are going
to draft me because they they want to get Eli
(13:00):
two point zero, right, and so if I just pretend
that I'm in, they'll take me in the and they did,
they did. But wait there's more. Just by doing the
mannerisms and the gyrations of Elijah Manning, it doesn't matter
that he stinks at Daniel Jones, doesn't matter that he's bad.
(13:20):
I mean, Eli Manning was average, had a couple of
fluke playoff for us, but other that he was nothing special.
And this guy's not even that. Daniel Jones and the Giants,
those dumb dumbs, gave him another contract. Vanillovic has been
paid one hundred and eight million dollars for being bad
at his job. But he said, Oh, people have always
(13:41):
doubted me, not the giants. They've never doubted you, and
that's the problem in a just world. Daniel Jones will
be brought up on grand larceny charges total fraud a
total fraud.

tyre rac dot com the way tirebind should be Our
buddy Masshole Mickey, it's been about ten thousand days since
he lost last got a day off that did not
(15:42):
involve a medical malady. So our lead this hour is
from Northern Ohio. Play the hits, mom Man play this. Okay,
those sad Sack Brownies are added again. They got blown
off the field by the team from Texas known as
(16:03):
the Cowboy. Then we had the Deshaun Watson burner account
story that was yesterday and the gift that keeps giving
back at it again. If you have not been paying
attention here, perhaps not Deshaun Watson face the media now
he faced the media after some Brown's pr hack, got
(16:25):
in front of the media and said, well, there's a
prepared statement by the lawyer for Deshaun Watson. He will
be talking football and answering football questions. Okay, thank you,
thank you very much. So, DeShawn, did you play football
with the woman there in the bedroom now? Anyway? So
Watson didn't talk about the story. He strongly denies that
(16:49):
was through his attorney, the latest of an endless supply
of allegations that he is a predator. Watson denying that
through his attorney, the Browns have given no consideration to
demoting mister Watson. Kevin Stefanski, the head coach, he said,
(17:12):
this is great. We'll let due process play out and
follow the NFL guidelines. He said, it's not my fault.
You want to blame somebody, blame Goodell. It's up to
Roger Goodell now when asked the player, Deshaun Watson, when
asked how his team and his teammates are handling this,
you need to talk to your teammates. You know, you're
you're kind of looking like a little little weirdo. You know,
(17:35):
you need to talk to the guys well. Watson said
that he does not does not need to address the
locker room because the players of the team know exactly
who he is. Based on his quote character and quote Aura. Yeah,
(17:56):
that's what he said. I was telling we had a
function with our friends at Rapid Radios, and I was
LeVar Arrington was there and you could have gone for me, Lorena,
you could have you could have shown up for me.
I would have enjoyed you being there, and you could
have told me how it would No, but I had
a good time. But I was talking to LaVar and I,
you know, I got a lot of Aura, and he
(18:17):
kind of rolled his eyes at me. I said, what
are you talking about? But that's the money quote. When
you have the money quote, you gotta go with it.
Got to go with it. So let us discuss the question,
how do you process Deshaun Watson claiming the Browns locker
room has a trust he does not need to address
the team because his latest scandal and it all goes
(18:40):
back to character and aura. So let us discuss. Uh. Yeah,
So I've got Batman, Handyman and Boston Pops and we
will combine all of these things together and we will
go into the basement and see what's in the basement.
So num bur Deshaun Watson on this one space Cadet space,
(19:07):
He's out in the stratosphere somewhere in his own world, right,
I mean, the dude still thinks he's back at Clemson.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I'm old enough to remember when Deshaun Watson the football
college football media had Deshaun Watson as the patron saint
of college football, and what a wonderful story. They were
romanticized Deshaun Watson. But that's not where we are now.
I think maybe I'm wrong, maybe we're still there. I
don't think Deshawn's still there. I'm pretty sure I didn't
(19:37):
see this on his Wikipedia page. We're pro Football reference page.
But after Deshaun Watson left Clemson, he had higher education.
He graduated from the old Ringling Brothers in Barnum and
Bailey Clown College. I'm convinced of that. The jig is up,
the jig is up. Right. You are now Deshaun Watson
a low level batman villain. That is the reality. He's
(20:00):
still going back to those those words that were used
about him in college.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
The many one was character. They talk about character guy,
high character guy, Deshaun Watson. And the great thing about
Watson is he's so obtuse. He doesn't appear to realize
this that all of this is going on, and there's
a saying for you boys that work in construction that
if you find yourself at the bottom of a hole,
you probably should stop digging. You probably should stop digging.
(20:27):
Deshaun Watson's like, he's in the pit at the bottom
of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and he's like, hey,
can I get somebody to take a helicopter and drop
a Bobcat excavator down here so I can go a
little deeper? Can you send it? And you take off
the aura Fedora, you take that offer it there. Deshaun
(20:47):
is using a technique that I learned about years ago.
It's called the illusionary truth effect, called the illusionary truth effect. Now,
what is the illusionary truth effect effect? It essentially, I'll
sum it up in Layman's term. So if you hear
and see something enough, if we repeat something enough, then
(21:09):
you are more likely to think it's true. Right. So
Sean Watson just says, hey, I got a lot of character,
I got a lot of aura. Like there's some certain
percentage of idiots the island of idiots that will be like,
oh man, you shut it must be true all right, now,
pitchd Deshaun Watson also claims that he was essentially, for
lack of a better word, blindsided by the claims that
(21:33):
he yet again was using his twigging berries inappropriately during
the latest sexual assault lawsuit. Do you believe DeShawn Watson?
So here's what I believe. I believe Deshaun Watson has
to say this. I give this whole thing stinkye much
like Watson, he likes the stink eye. But listen, I
(21:53):
give the whole situation. Watson was just regurgitating the talking
points memo on this one, and I totally get it.
I know why this is Pandora's box. What's in the box?
It's not good and it's simple, very simple. If Deshaun
Watson and his legal team knew about this taboo dipsy
(22:18):
do that took place back in the day, and he
didn't tell the Browns and signed the contract, then he
is in stranger danger in more ways than one. Now
it's only a civil case, it's not a criminal case.
But the golden ticket that he got, not for me,
not for me, The golden ticket that he got gets
torn up, gets absolutely torn up, and so he's got
a hide behind his personal handyman, defer to your legal
(22:44):
counsel's that's who you defer to here, claim ignorance and
save the contract at all costs. Now, his handyman is
Rusty Harden. What a great name, Rusty Harden, the do
it all fixer. Rusty Harden. You got it's like Ghostbusters,
the original Ghostbusters. Something strange in your neighborhood. Who you
(23:07):
gonna call Rusty Hartin? That's who. Russy's got that big
Texas sized checkbook and delicious hush money. Just about everyone
takes the hush money. It's hard not to take that money.
We're not sure what the offer is, but I'm sure
it's a sizeable amount of money that's being offered to
buy your silence. All right, final point. We go now
(23:27):
to Arizona, developing story in the Valley the Sun. The
Cardinals play the Rams in a matchup of zero to
one teams on Sunday. The highly touted Marvin Harrison Junior,
son of the Hall of Famer, was an absolute dud
in his first appearance in the NFL. His debut, he
(23:48):
was targeted only three times. He had just one more
catch than you had and four more yards than you
and I had combined. So I bring this up because
the Redbirds fun sized quarterback alligator arms Murray. Kyler Murray
was asked about this, and Kyler Murray said, I'm gonna
paraphrase this, but he essentially said it is not his job.
(24:10):
It is not his job to force targets to Marvin
Harrison Junior. So is that how you see it? And
you can't see me? If you can, you're a stocker.
There is a camera here. I'm shaking my head. No,
this is a lack of accountability. It continues the common theme,
the common denominator with Kyler Murray. It goes back to
(24:32):
him having to have a clause in his contract taken
out because he couldn't handle the fact the team wanted
him to stop playing the video games and focus on
his job. Because the lack of accountability is passing the
buck right, not my job. It's not my fault. Somebody
else's fault right now. Either Marvin Harrison Junior from the
Ohio State University is someone that possesses demonic powers on
(24:56):
the football field and is a force multiplier, or he doesn't.
The Cardinals drafted him so high they clearly as a
franchise think that he is absolutely the boss, right, He's
absolutely the man and all that stuff. So it is
literally and figuratively the job of the quarterback to facilitate
(25:20):
the offense. Is that Am I doing good so far?
Is that correct? I think it is. I didn't play
in the NFL. I just have a microphone and headphones,
so watching football mintil life. And I was a great
high school player at Polk High School, me and al Bundy.
But don't let the defense. You're not supposed to let
the defense dictate who gets the ball. By not throwing
(25:40):
the ball to Marvin Harrison Junior, that is an admission
that either he can't get open or the defense is
as combination of both. He can't get open. The defense
is so good you're not even gonna try to throw
the football his way. You are the point guard. You're
the elite point guard of the offences, the quarterback, and
(26:02):
you consistently have to control not only the passing attack,
but you have to know when to audible and whatnot
and all that stuff. You are it's like the Boston Pops.
You're the conductor of the Boston Pops. You're in charge
of the orchestra, and you decide what notes are played. Right,
you set the tone, you find out what notes are
going to be played, and and again, the coaching staff
(26:24):
calls the play in. But the quarterback position you have
a chance to audible, kind of like Kyler when you're
playing the video game and you hit the reset button
of the video game. Right, you call an audible. You
can do the same thing.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
You can do the same thing. Not just don't call
the duty, you can do it on your own.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Like Ed Milette or John Gordon.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
We've all been through some sort of adversity to get
to the top.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
We've all used different tools.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Here, we got here, we got how about that? There
we go?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
This is one big gets grilled.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Oh so the Texans were a trendy super Bowl pick
before the season, but they were just barely able to
eke out a win against the Colts, who weren't expected
to do much of anything. Should Texans fans temper their
expectations or are they just finding their groove?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
No, listen, I was trying to find reasons to pick
apart the Texans and then you know, they're not that
good and all that stuff, and I'm still concerned about
the turnover possibility with that offense. But uh yeah, it's
smooth sailing. They're gonna get off to a ridiculously good
start this year and they're gonna build up such a
massive they'll beat the Bears. They got the Vikings after
(28:05):
that Jacksonville. I mean, they got a really easy road.
They'll be fine next.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
The kickoff return rate spiked to thirty three percent in
Week one, which is a five year high. I think
the early consensus was that people thought the dynamic kickoff
was weird and generally didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
But do you think it'll grow on people? Well anything,
if you do it long enough, people get used to it.
I don't like it. I like what Andy Reid did,
just kick it out of the end zone every time,
which he did in the opener for the for the Chiefs.
But if you guys start returning it, they will teams
will just kick it out of the end zone. They're
not gonna keep doing it quickly.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said that having Jena Daniels run
sixteen times is not the model he's looking for.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Ben, do you think this is the right approach, having
to be a plot passer, Well, well he's if he's
ever gonna win in Washington, he's got to be a
packet pocket passing quarterback. You can't win just running the
ball all the time. So that's the only path to
long term success. How do we know.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
That?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Is a come on? Those those appetizers group were very good.
They were good appetizers.

with a question from ferg dog Hi, Fergie, he wants
to know how much did you miss Lorraina the past week?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
A lot, a little, or none at all? So every
morning when I student, I'm not exaggerating here, I cried
myself to sleep. I was so.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
I was so depressed.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I was so I was so devastated. I had my therapist,
I had my therapy. Dog I was I was just
an emotional wreck, Eddie. A lot, A lot? All right, Lorena,
how much did you miss the Ben Mather Show?
Speaker 7 (30:22):
Well, I think Coop should answer first.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Oh, okay, A lot? Wow?
Speaker 7 (30:28):
You know, I actually I did. I did miss you, guys.
I almost came in yesterday because I was really close
to the studio. Yeah, I was hanging out my friend's house.
But it was only eight thirty.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I thought you were on the DL. I didn't know
you're hanging out with friends.
Speaker 7 (30:40):
Euh, I can hang out on the couch you know, okay,
all right, but I almost came in and then I
was like, no, no, I have one more day. Yeah, okay,
but I did miss you guys a lot, and I
checked Twitter every day to see what was going on.
We did, I did, Yes, are very good. All you
haters can hate elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
They did miss you. They were like, where's Lorena? You
see this question from is it curt? He says this
is actually for Eddie. After visiting Sofi Stadium this weekend
and almost dying of heat stroke for five point five billion,
they couldn't put a C in the bathroom. I heard
it was oppressively hot.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
I mean the bathroom I went into had a I.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Don't know what was going in Bougie Bach, but yeah,
so Fi people look at it like a dome. But
it's not a dome.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
No, it's just a canopy. It's a canopy.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yeah, we learned that when it flooded, remember that the
big rain and flooded.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
It is covered. It did help.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Well, normally there's a sea breeze because it's not that
far from the ocean, even though it's in Inglewood. But
it was massive heat way by what it's next Coober
Mass whole Mickey would like to know how cold does
it need to get for you to turn on the
heat at your house. I thought it was Mike Vickey. No, yeah,
Mass whole Mickey. Okay, all right, how cold? I'm not
(32:03):
a big heat guy. Althose I've gotten older, I have
gotten colder. So I have like a little room heater
that I'll turn on sometimes, but normally I like it.
I'd rather have it cold than hot. I'd rather have
it cold than hot. What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Yeah, I would never turn it on, probably, but my
wife is always cold and I always run hot, so
we have that the difference there with that. But so
I would I would.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Believe that's normally how men and women operate.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
I would assume so. Yeah, I would assume so. But
I would never turn it on. She probably would turn
it on when it's like sixty and claims it's freezing
in the house.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Sixty is cold. Sixty is not cold. It's cold for
inside your house.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Well, like I said, she wouldn't say it was cold.
It was freezing is the term she would use.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Howbout want to get to like seventy two? Oh my god,
it's so cold today. What do you talk about Larina.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
Yeah, I'm always cold. I have low iron.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
No, it doesn't even have to be women need the iron.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
It's all about the iron for you women. Yes, I
should sell iron supplements. I'll make a killing on that, right.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
We won't take them, I'll dare you.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Do you like to be called cope?
Speaker 6 (33:13):
I think we usually kicked the heat on at like
sixty four?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Where do you set the heat at like sixty seven?
Run there? Sixty eight?
Speaker 7 (33:25):
Seventy eight would be nice.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
No, that's insane. I used to when I first as
an adult, I used to set the air conditioning like
seventy three degrees or seventy four degrees because it was
like that was the temperature at the astrodome, you know.
And I remember they made a big deal about that
when I was watching games, and I was like, kis USO,
it's a dolt, Mas, that's what they set the temperature.
That's what the temperature is supposed to be. It's expensive
(33:46):
these days. Yes, what is? What is next? Year? It's
asked Ben, your questions are answers A late night drug tester,
h late night drug tester? How many times have you
gotten stitches? And we're any for snitching. Oh yeah, yes,
snitches get stitches. Yeah, yeah, I've had a lot of stitches.
I've had massive cuts on both my hands. I almost
(34:08):
lost a couple of fingers. When I was a kid,
my brother made one of those volcano things that I
don't even know if they make him anymore of the
kids today. But there was a volcano and baking soda volcano, yeah,
and I was playing with it and the thing exploded
on my hand and I almost had to have my
on my right hand. I almost had a couple of
fingers amputated. It was a big, big mess. I still
(34:28):
have a scar. I'm old now, I still have a scar, though, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Yeah, I've had some stitches just from fall you know,
when I was a kid falling down. I remember running
down the hallway and some kid flew open and flung
open the door to a classroom and hit me in
my head and I bleeding everywhere, and I remember the
school nurse said I needed to go to the the
hospital and get stitches, and I started crying and my
dad said, well, afterwards, we can go to McDonald's. And
(34:53):
I was like, oh, okay, So McDonald's makes everything better.
When you're like in third grade or whatever. I used
to Also in football, I would get there was a
cut under my chin, and it kept getting opened up
every year, and finally I just said the hell with it.
I stopped getting stitches on it.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
I can't believe McDonald's been opened that long. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
It is joke, all right, for a long time. I
think you just had some stitches. I think you.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
No, I didn't get any stitches. Yeah, no, just tape,
blue and tape.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
All right, cool. I have never had stitches. All right.
Here's an interesting one from Blake in Arkansas. He says,
do we think that the Queen Lorraina knows who Monica
Lewinsky is? What do you think? Yes?
Speaker 7 (35:39):
Oh, I got a song. She's mom Monica Lewinsky. She's
gonna drop it right here because she's frisky.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Okay, maybe not.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
I wish Mark was here.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Now, never do that again ever ever, Oh, you can
go sleep on your friend's couch. How about that? Wait?
Hold on though, you do you know who Monica Lewinsky?
Speaker 7 (35:57):
Yeah, she's the girl who sucked with Bill Clinton.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I don't know if they slept together, but they definitely didn't.
Thing quickly, coope, what do we Uh, actually went to
bed together, but I did not have sexual relations for
that woman.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
I don't know why he's asking this, but the King
Rory wants to know if you had to take an enema,
do you think your significant other would be willing to
help you take it?
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Wow, you're a dark, dark person and that toilet would
also be would be filled with the prim A lot
of garlic would be in there too, a lot of garlic.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
You be sure to catch live editions of the Ben
Mellor Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Let's get over to Eddie right now and puck the way.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
That's bed With twenty two days away from the start
of the NHL season for a Scheme of the Year
will be Overseas October fourth in Prague in check yea
between the news, Who des go on to that game?
Buffalo Savers, Nope, you're not a real hockey First North
American regular season games are October the eighth. Now, we
did have funeral services this past Monday for both Calgary
Flames and Clumps Blue Jaggs start Johnny Gudrou and his
(37:03):
brother Matthew. The two were hitting killed by a drunk
driver while biking. On August twenty nine, Johnny Udrou's widow, Meredith,
spoke at the service and revealed she is pregnant with
Johnny Gudrou's third child.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
So both widows are expecting children.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Yeah. Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said this week he's
confident to get a new contract before the season starts.
The Pittsburgh legend scheduled to start his twentieth NHL season,
all in Pittsburgh. While Crosby is continuing his career, a
couple of old veterans hanging it up. Defenseman Mark Stall
and defenseman Alex Golblogowski, both announcing their retirements after seventeen
(37:39):
years and the NHL. Mark Stall played one one hundred
and thirty six games with the Rangers, Red Wings, Panthers,
and Flyers. Gologowski one thousand and seventy eight games for
the Penguin, Stars, Coyotes, and wild I know Ben's very
excited that the Professional Women's Hockey League revealed the names
and logos for their six franchise that they sure hope
so now. They played their inaugural season last year without
(38:01):
nicknames or logos. They were just referred to by the cities.
So yeah, we have the Boston Fleet, a nod to
the city's rich maritime history. The Minnesota frost.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, like there are Windy's.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
The Montreal Victory, which is French for victory. The New
York Sirens is my favorite, but not a nod to
Greek mythology. It is talking about the sounds that you
will hear in New York City and when a goal
is scored the sirens like literally a siren. The Ottawa
charge and the Toronto scepters like thank no, it's supposed
(38:43):
to be like, you know, like a symbol of a royalty,
you know, the sceptor. I guess. Okay, anyway, these are
all just awful, terrible names and the logos.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Hollywood movies.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Finally, finally, a Beer League hockey team in Florida got
a thrill. We scon play on that, I hope not.
When they put out a call on Facebook that they
needed a goalie for their playoff game. Well, Hall of
Fame goalie and Florida Panthers executive Roberto Lawongo answered the call,
showed up in full uniform.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
ME guess he gave up seven goals.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
He did give up two goals. His team did win.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
The guys can say I scored a goal on it,
and that's true. Kind of like I got a hit
off a guy that led the American League and an average.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Yeah, he was throwing VP. He wanted you to hit
the ball.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
He was striking guys out. Rick Honey Cunt, look it up, kids,
Rick Honey Cutt led the American League in e R A.
He was pitching ranger this well, because it's how I
relate to the story. Guy scored a goal against Robert
and I got a hit off a big league a
e R Well.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
I think I think la Wongo was trying to stop
the buck thing. I don't know about that, but you
was throwing BP was striking you get that off a beat.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
You were not there.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
He was trying to strike guys out. He was trying
to strike guys out. I used my immense baseball ability
is going up in the bass. A bunch of you're losing,
no athletic FaZe, ravine. You've got to there. Congratulations, got
a big lead, get a big world the world. Terrible
job by you. Awesome

Buffalo Bills in that game with the Dolphins on a
(01:41):
Thursday night, give or take, Give or take on that.
So our lead this hour is from the Graham. We're
gonna start with the Graham. Now, why are we going
to start with the Graham? Because we have a mantra
on this show. You go where the news of theday
takes you. And you heard me right, the news of
the day in sports, it begins and in many ways
(02:01):
ends on the social network, the sparkle of the social network,
the great sports talk radio chatter. Now, if you've been
out of the loop because you actually have a life,
maybe you have a job and things that you have
to do, and you can't obsess with this nonsense all
the time. A wild story involving a Hall of Fame
(02:25):
level player, a legend of the game, turn media blow hard,
and the trending viral story of the day. So if
you did not see this, and perhaps you missed it,
our old friend Shannon Sharp decided he wanted to do
some Instagram live. Do it live, We'll do it live,
(02:47):
and he did it live. Boy did he do it live.
He performed the devil's dance with a woman. All we
know is the woman's name, Michelle. We don't know who
she is other than her name, but we don't know
her last name anything like that. She was not on camera.
But Shannon sharps, you know what, it's September eleventh. What
better way to honor those that lost their lives on
(03:08):
September eleventh? Then let's have some sex on Instagram live
and boom he did. It was wonderful, now, he claimed.
Someone who works for him claim, well, I didn't count
got hacked and all that. It was a quick statement
that went up on social media. Not that quick because
nobody stopped him while he was going to poundtown. So anyway,
(03:30):
the statement said that he was hacked this morning. The
team is working to figure it out. Blah blah blah
blah blah. Well, good news. Inspector Gadget was on the case,
Go Go Gadget and cracked the code. Hours later. Sharp
responded on his Fledgling podcast by saying it was me
a healthy active mail. He said they had more to
(03:52):
say than that, but let us discuss the question, all right.
NFL Hall of Fame ballplayer Shannon Sharp pro football all
of player, Shannon Sharp, the sex tape caper. What are
your thoughts on a roller coaster kind of a day?
So I've got p T Barnum, pavement and cosplay, and
(04:15):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a basket, a wicker basket like
Derek Jeter has where you put your phone in the basket.
What's in the basket? Put your phone in the basket?
All right, So a wonderful way to wake up. Wonderful
way to wake up, as you know doing the overnight show.
(04:36):
Don't go to bed till very early in the morning
and wake up early afternoon. I actually had some things
to do here for the company, so I was up
earlier than I normally am and spent a lot of
time in the car. But I woke up a bunch
of message. Do you see this, oh man, Shannon Sharp's
making Whoopie And I'm not talking about the hockey team
and making Georgia. Back in the day where our friend
(04:56):
Turk Stevens used to work no audio own Now this
was audio only. There was video, but you couldn't you know,
you couldn't say see what was going on. It was
like the camera it was like on a bed and
the people were next to the camera, but the camera
was not where it needed to be to get the
full the full Monty. So the story now we don't
(05:18):
know who the co star again was. We're not sure
who that person was, but clearly Shannon Sharp said, you
know what, let's have some afternoon delight and he went
for it. The the hacking part of it, though, that
lasted not very long at all. They had a get together,
there's some kind of meet and greet, their own meet
(05:39):
and greet there Shannon Sharp and the people that work
for Shannon Sharp, and they realized, we are sitting on
a pile of gold, Bouyon, we have to take advantage
of this. We gotta go for it. Yes, And when
he realized how much money this could be worth, suddenly
he was mister honest. He no longer got hacked. It
(06:03):
was P. T. Barnum who once said there's no such
thing as bad publicity, right, and there's others that have
pointed out as long as they spell your name right,
that's all that matters. So in the Internet world, the
currency of the Internet, which is all about engagement that
leads to revenue, so you can do the algebra on this.
(06:24):
So they rushed to do a podcast, and they want
to make sure everyone knew about it. It's all about
the pod. It's all about the pod, all right. So okay, fine,
So they threw a podcast up and Shannon Sharp hanging
out with Chad Johnson at one point known as Oto Sinko.
So they did that, And the question I have for
(06:47):
the esteem panel here, does this make Shannon Sharp Disney's
first porn star because he works for Disney? Right, he's
an ESPN employee. This also shows you he does not
really care about working for ESPN. Right. I know we
worked at Fox for a while FS one, but maybe
they've changed their standards. Haven't been to Disneyland in a while.
I don't know that I like a porn porn land.
(07:09):
There is that like, I don't know. I have no
idea anyway. It's I will say, based on my experience
trying to recreate the situation, at least the Instagram live thing.
It's very hard to make that mistake. It's not like
a simple thing. There's a lot of a lot of
steps to go on the Instagram Live there. And so
(07:30):
the idea that that Shannon Sharp and he told this
story on his little podcast there that he was fussing
around on his phone and then I guess it's like
he put the phone on the bed and there was
some unplayed bauchi ka wow wow. And then he didn't
realize it and he said, I have never gone on
Instagram live. I have no idea how to do that.
Blah blah blah blah blah. But based on my investigation
(07:54):
and again we activated them IB, the Malard Investigative Bureau,
and we looked at it, and it does appear it's
impossible impossible to accidentally go on Instagram Live. No, I
will be positive here because I thought once the initial
bull crap came out while he's CELEBRITI oh, I got hacked.
(08:16):
Remember Ray Allen years ago was a basketball player for
the Celtics and the Heat, and he sent out a
very racy comment on what was then known as Twitter
as I got hacked. Yeah no, you didn't, you know.
I think it was a long list here. But the
thing that I will credit Shannon Sharp is they went
to self deprecating humor and that's the move here, that's
(08:39):
the play. Good job by them. Chad Johnson said, I
saw a clip. I don't watch the thing I saw clip.
He said that Shannon Sharp, based on watching the Instagram live,
needs to work on his cardio, and he implied that
that session, the afternoon session, there was a short session.
(08:59):
Sharp claimed it was a full feature, not some kind
of YouTube short. So high fives and handshakes all around.
Now turn the page we go to since Cinnati, we've
got water bottle gate, the ben Goals who played like
the Button goals the way they performed there against the
Patriots over the weekend, and now heading into Week two
(09:20):
and a game that I had looked forward to prior
to the season, which does not have the same panache
to it anymore, and we've got water Bottlegate. The Bengals
are supposed to play, and they are scheduled to play
the Chiefs this weekend. A video went viral seemed like
a mostly benign video, claiming the show Joe Burrow struggling
(09:44):
to drink from a water bottle on the Bengals bench. Now,
the quarterback was asked about this. Joe Burrow says that
his wrist is absolutely not affecting his throat, so I'm
sure that's completely honest. We know that football people do
not lie, right mister Shanahan up there in the Bay Area,
Yet nobody lies. So he says it's not affecting his
(10:06):
throw as Joe Burrow. Does that pass the eyeball test?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Not?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Is it not passed the eyeball test. It doesn't pass
the bifocal test either. It's certainly cloudy. Joe Burrow looked
like a shell of himself. Is that just the early
season blues? It was not a if you look at
the pavement, it was not smooth pavement. There were a
lot of potholes in the pavement there. So you gotta
(10:33):
do better and be better. And the Bengals just seemed
like they were going down la la la la la la,
Like did they realize it was the regular season? Maybe
they thought it was another exhibition game. Until Joe Burrow
plays like the player we remember Joe Burrow to be
consistently has a vintage performance. This is going to shadow
(10:56):
him and it should. He will be doubted and rightfully
so all right now, last we go to New Jersey,
crossed the way from New York. The Giants they play
in New Jersey, they like to claim to the New
York Giants. So a quarterback. Daniel Jones, the embattled quarterback
(11:16):
of the Giants, says he has been doubted for a
long time and he has dealt with it. He was
asked about the fans there, the hoodlums that waited for
him to leave the stadium so they could boo him,
and there were people burning his jersey and all that stuff.
So he says, hey, I've been doubted a long time
and I've dealt with it. What are your thoughts on that?
(11:36):
So this is the standard response. Every athlete things that
the world's out to get them and they've overcome the
odds and all that. The problem with this one is
the people that should be doubting Daniel Jones are not
doubting him. The fans know this guy's a dog with fleas, right,
the fans know this guy can't play. But yet the
(11:59):
people he work, that's the that's the conundrum. They don't
realize that. They clearly don't. Yeah, a guy calling sports
radio Tony from Long Island will goof on Danny Dimes. Ah,
Danny Dimes, is this, that and the other thing, But
the people in charge, no, what is my evidence?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I mean, my little elevator pitch here. So after a
block college career at Duke, I know he plays well
at Duke. So so so college quarterback at Duke, Jones
was picked number six overall, top ten pick in the
draft back in twenty nineteen. Why because the Giants believed
(12:40):
in him, right, And the main reason they drafted him
is because of cosplay that this cat from Duke, Danny
Dimes had figured out if I just do an impersonation
of Eli Manning, these dopes with the Giants are going
to draft me because they they want to get Eli
(13:00):
two point zero, right, and so if I just pretend
that I'm in, they'll take me in the and they did,
they did. But wait there's more. Just by doing the
mannerisms and the gyrations of Elijah Manning, it doesn't matter
that he stinks at Daniel Jones, doesn't matter that he's bad.
(13:20):
I mean, Eli Manning was average, had a couple of
fluke playoff for us, but other that he was nothing special.
And this guy's not even that. Daniel Jones and the Giants,
those dumb dumbs, gave him another contract. Vanillovic has been
paid one hundred and eight million dollars for being bad
at his job. But he said, Oh, people have always
(13:41):
doubted me, not the giants. They've never doubted you, and
that's the problem in a just world. Daniel Jones will
be brought up on grand larceny charges total fraud a
total fraud.

he faced the media after some Brown's pr hack, got
(16:25):
in front of the media and said, well, there's a
prepared statement by the lawyer for Deshaun Watson. He will
be talking football and answering football questions. Okay, thank you,
thank you very much. So, DeShawn, did you play football
with the woman there in the bedroom now? Anyway? So
Watson didn't talk about the story. He strongly denies that
(16:49):
was through his attorney, the latest of an endless supply
of allegations that he is a predator. Watson denying that
through his attorney, the Browns have given no consideration to
demoting mister Watson. Kevin Stefanski, the head coach, he said,
(17:12):
this is great. We'll let due process play out and
follow the NFL guidelines. He said, it's not my fault.
You want to blame somebody, blame Goodell. It's up to
Roger Goodell now when asked the player, Deshaun Watson, when
asked how his team and his teammates are handling this,
you need to talk to your teammates. You know, you're
you're kind of looking like a little little weirdo. You know,
(17:35):
you need to talk to the guys well. Watson said
that he does not does not need to address the
locker room because the players of the team know exactly
who he is. Based on his quote character and quote Aura. Yeah,
(17:56):
that's what he said. I was telling we had a
function with our friends at Rapid Radios, and I was
LeVar Arrington was there and you could have gone for me, Lorena,
you could have you could have shown up for me.
I would have enjoyed you being there, and you could
have told me how it would No, but I had
a good time. But I was talking to LaVar and I,
you know, I got a lot of Aura, and he
(18:17):
kind of rolled his eyes at me. I said, what
are you talking about? But that's the money quote. When
you have the money quote, you gotta go with it.
Got to go with it. So let us discuss the question,
how do you process Deshaun Watson claiming the Browns locker
room has a trust he does not need to address
the team because his latest scandal and it all goes
(18:40):
back to character and aura. So let us discuss. Uh. Yeah,
So I've got Batman, Handyman and Boston Pops and we
will combine all of these things together and we will
go into the basement and see what's in the basement.
So num bur Deshaun Watson on this one space Cadet space,
(19:07):
He's out in the stratosphere somewhere in his own world, right,
I mean, the dude still thinks he's back at Clemson.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I'm old enough to remember when Deshaun Watson the football
college football media had Deshaun Watson as the patron saint
of college football, and what a wonderful story. They were
romanticized Deshaun Watson. But that's not where we are now.
I think maybe I'm wrong, maybe we're still there. I
don't think Deshawn's still there. I'm pretty sure I didn't
(19:37):
see this on his Wikipedia page. We're pro Football reference page.
But after Deshaun Watson left Clemson, he had higher education.
He graduated from the old Ringling Brothers in Barnum and
Bailey Clown College. I'm convinced of that. The jig is up,
the jig is up. Right. You are now Deshaun Watson
a low level batman villain. That is the reality. He's
(20:00):
still going back to those those words that were used
about him in college.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
The many one was character. They talk about character guy,
high character guy, Deshaun Watson. And the great thing about
Watson is he's so obtuse. He doesn't appear to realize
this that all of this is going on, and there's
a saying for you boys that work in construction that
if you find yourself at the bottom of a hole,
you probably should stop digging. You probably should stop digging.
(20:27):
Deshaun Watson's like, he's in the pit at the bottom
of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and he's like, hey,
can I get somebody to take a helicopter and drop
a Bobcat excavator down here so I can go a
little deeper? Can you send it? And you take off
the aura Fedora, you take that offer it there. Deshaun
(20:47):
is using a technique that I learned about years ago.
It's called the illusionary truth effect, called the illusionary truth effect. Now,
what is the illusionary truth effect effect? It essentially, I'll
sum it up in Layman's term. So if you hear
and see something enough, if we repeat something enough, then
(21:09):
you are more likely to think it's true. Right. So
Sean Watson just says, hey, I got a lot of character,
I got a lot of aura. Like there's some certain
percentage of idiots the island of idiots that will be like,
oh man, you shut it must be true all right, now,
pitchd Deshaun Watson also claims that he was essentially, for
lack of a better word, blindsided by the claims that
(21:33):
he yet again was using his twigging berries inappropriately during
the latest sexual assault lawsuit. Do you believe DeShawn Watson?
So here's what I believe. I believe Deshaun Watson has
to say this. I give this whole thing stinkye much
like Watson, he likes the stink eye. But listen, I
(21:53):
give the whole situation. Watson was just regurgitating the talking
points memo on this one, and I totally get it.
I know why this is Pandora's box. What's in the box?
It's not good and it's simple, very simple. If Deshaun
Watson and his legal team knew about this taboo dipsy
(22:18):
do that took place back in the day, and he
didn't tell the Browns and signed the contract, then he
is in stranger danger in more ways than one. Now
it's only a civil case, it's not a criminal case.
But the golden ticket that he got, not for me,
not for me, The golden ticket that he got gets
torn up, gets absolutely torn up, and so he's got
a hide behind his personal handyman, defer to your legal
(22:44):
counsel's that's who you defer to here, claim ignorance and
save the contract at all costs. Now, his handyman is
Rusty Harden. What a great name, Rusty Harden, the do
it all fixer. Rusty Harden. You got it's like Ghostbusters,
the original Ghostbusters. Something strange in your neighborhood. Who you
(23:07):
gonna call Rusty Hartin? That's who. Russy's got that big
Texas sized checkbook and delicious hush money. Just about everyone
takes the hush money. It's hard not to take that money.
We're not sure what the offer is, but I'm sure
it's a sizeable amount of money that's being offered to
buy your silence. All right, final point. We go now
(23:27):
to Arizona, developing story in the Valley the Sun. The
Cardinals play the Rams in a matchup of zero to
one teams on Sunday. The highly touted Marvin Harrison Junior,
son of the Hall of Famer, was an absolute dud
in his first appearance in the NFL. His debut, he
(23:48):
was targeted only three times. He had just one more
catch than you had and four more yards than you
and I had combined. So I bring this up because
the Redbirds fun sized quarterback alligator arms Murray. Kyler Murray
was asked about this, and Kyler Murray said, I'm gonna
paraphrase this, but he essentially said it is not his job.
(24:10):
It is not his job to force targets to Marvin
Harrison Junior. So is that how you see it? And
you can't see me? If you can, you're a stocker.
There is a camera here. I'm shaking my head. No,
this is a lack of accountability. It continues the common theme,
the common denominator with Kyler Murray. It goes back to
(24:32):
him having to have a clause in his contract taken
out because he couldn't handle the fact the team wanted
him to stop playing the video games and focus on
his job. Because the lack of accountability is passing the
buck right, not my job. It's not my fault. Somebody
else's fault right now. Either Marvin Harrison Junior from the
Ohio State University is someone that possesses demonic powers on
(24:56):
the football field and is a force multiplier, or he doesn't.
The Cardinals drafted him so high they clearly as a
franchise think that he is absolutely the boss, right, He's
absolutely the man and all that stuff. So it is
literally and figuratively the job of the quarterback to facilitate
(25:20):
the offense. Is that Am I doing good so far?
Is that correct? I think it is. I didn't play
in the NFL. I just have a microphone and headphones,
so watching football mintil life. And I was a great
high school player at Polk High School, me and al Bundy.
But don't let the defense. You're not supposed to let
the defense dictate who gets the ball. By not throwing
(25:40):
the ball to Marvin Harrison Junior, that is an admission
that either he can't get open or the defense is
as combination of both. He can't get open. The defense
is so good you're not even gonna try to throw
the football his way. You are the point guard. You're
the elite point guard of the offences, the quarterback, and
(26:02):
you consistently have to control not only the passing attack,
but you have to know when to audible and whatnot
and all that stuff. You are it's like the Boston Pops.
You're the conductor of the Boston Pops. You're in charge
of the orchestra, and you decide what notes are played. Right,
you set the tone, you find out what notes are
going to be played, and and again, the coaching staff
(26:24):
calls the play in. But the quarterback position you have
a chance to audible, kind of like Kyler when you're
playing the video game and you hit the reset button
of the video game. Right, you call an audible. You
can do the same thing.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
You can do the same thing. Not just don't call
the duty, you can do it on your own.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
We've all been through some sort of adversity to get
to the top.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
We've all used different tools.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Here, we got here, we got how about that? There
we go?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
This is one big gets grilled.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Oh so the Texans were a trendy super Bowl pick
before the season, but they were just barely able to
eke out a win against the Colts, who weren't expected
to do much of anything. Should Texans fans temper their
expectations or are they just finding their groove?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
No, listen, I was trying to find reasons to pick
apart the Texans and then you know, they're not that
good and all that stuff, and I'm still concerned about
the turnover possibility with that offense. But uh yeah, it's
smooth sailing. They're gonna get off to a ridiculously good
start this year and they're gonna build up such a
massive they'll beat the Bears. They got the Vikings after
(28:05):
that Jacksonville. I mean, they got a really easy road.
They'll be fine next.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
The kickoff return rate spiked to thirty three percent in
Week one, which is a five year high. I think
the early consensus was that people thought the dynamic kickoff
was weird and generally didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
But do you think it'll grow on people? Well anything,
if you do it long enough, people get used to it.
I don't like it. I like what Andy Reid did,
just kick it out of the end zone every time,
which he did in the opener for the for the Chiefs.
But if you guys start returning it, they will teams
will just kick it out of the end zone. They're
not gonna keep doing it quickly.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said that having Jena Daniels run
sixteen times is not the model he's looking for.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Ben, do you think this is the right approach, having
to be a plot passer, Well, well he's if he's
ever gonna win in Washington, he's got to be a
packet pocket passing quarterback. You can't win just running the
ball all the time. So that's the only path to
long term success. How do we know.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
That?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Is a come on? Those those appetizers group were very good.
They were good appetizers.

All right, Ben, let's go ahead and start with start
with a question from ferg dog Hi, Fergie, he wants
to know how much did you miss Lorraina the past week?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
A lot, a little, or none at all? So every
morning when I student, I'm not exaggerating here, I cried
myself to sleep. I was so.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
I was so depressed.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I was so I was so devastated. I had my therapist,
I had my therapy. Dog I was I was just
an emotional wreck, Eddie. A lot, A lot? All right, Lorena,
how much did you miss the Ben Mather Show?
Speaker 7 (30:22):
Well, I think Coop should answer first.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Oh, okay, A lot? Wow?
Speaker 7 (30:28):
You know, I actually I did. I did miss you, guys.
I almost came in yesterday because I was really close
to the studio. Yeah, I was hanging out my friend's house.
But it was only eight thirty.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I thought you were on the DL. I didn't know
you're hanging out with friends.
Speaker 7 (30:40):
Euh, I can hang out on the couch you know, okay,
all right, but I almost came in and then I
was like, no, no, I have one more day. Yeah, okay,
but I did miss you guys a lot, and I
checked Twitter every day to see what was going on.
We did, I did, Yes, are very good. All you
haters can hate elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
They did miss you. They were like, where's Lorena? You
see this question from is it curt? He says this
is actually for Eddie. After visiting Sofi Stadium this weekend
and almost dying of heat stroke for five point five billion,
they couldn't put a C in the bathroom. I heard
it was oppressively hot.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
I mean the bathroom I went into had a I.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Don't know what was going in Bougie Bach, but yeah,
so Fi people look at it like a dome. But
it's not a dome.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
No, it's just a canopy. It's a canopy.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yeah, we learned that when it flooded, remember that the
big rain and flooded.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
It is covered. It did help.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Well, normally there's a sea breeze because it's not that
far from the ocean, even though it's in Inglewood. But
it was massive heat way by what it's next Coober
Mass whole Mickey would like to know how cold does
it need to get for you to turn on the
heat at your house. I thought it was Mike Vickey. No, yeah,
Mass whole Mickey. Okay, all right, how cold? I'm not
(32:03):
a big heat guy. Althose I've gotten older, I have
gotten colder. So I have like a little room heater
that I'll turn on sometimes, but normally I like it.
I'd rather have it cold than hot. I'd rather have
it cold than hot. What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Yeah, I would never turn it on, probably, but my
wife is always cold and I always run hot, so
we have that the difference there with that. But so
I would I would.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Believe that's normally how men and women operate.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
I would assume so. Yeah, I would assume so. But
I would never turn it on. She probably would turn
it on when it's like sixty and claims it's freezing
in the house.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Sixty is cold. Sixty is not cold. It's cold for
inside your house.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Well, like I said, she wouldn't say it was cold.
It was freezing is the term she would use.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Howbout want to get to like seventy two? Oh my god,
it's so cold today. What do you talk about Larina.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
Yeah, I'm always cold. I have low iron.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
No, it doesn't even have to be women need the iron.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
It's all about the iron for you women. Yes, I
should sell iron supplements. I'll make a killing on that, right.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
We won't take them, I'll dare you.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Do you like to be called cope?
Speaker 6 (33:13):
I think we usually kicked the heat on at like
sixty four?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Where do you set the heat at like sixty seven?
Run there? Sixty eight?
Speaker 7 (33:25):
Seventy eight would be nice.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
No, that's insane. I used to when I first as
an adult, I used to set the air conditioning like
seventy three degrees or seventy four degrees because it was
like that was the temperature at the astrodome, you know.
And I remember they made a big deal about that
when I was watching games, and I was like, kis USO,
it's a dolt, Mas, that's what they set the temperature.
That's what the temperature is supposed to be. It's expensive
(33:46):
these days. Yes, what is? What is next? Year? It's
asked Ben, your questions are answers A late night drug tester,
h late night drug tester? How many times have you
gotten stitches? And we're any for snitching. Oh yeah, yes,
snitches get stitches. Yeah, yeah, I've had a lot of stitches.
I've had massive cuts on both my hands. I almost
(34:08):
lost a couple of fingers. When I was a kid,
my brother made one of those volcano things that I
don't even know if they make him anymore of the
kids today. But there was a volcano and baking soda volcano, yeah,
and I was playing with it and the thing exploded
on my hand and I almost had to have my
on my right hand. I almost had a couple of
fingers amputated. It was a big, big mess. I still
(34:28):
have a scar. I'm old now, I still have a scar, though, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Yeah, I've had some stitches just from fall you know,
when I was a kid falling down. I remember running
down the hallway and some kid flew open and flung
open the door to a classroom and hit me in
my head and I bleeding everywhere, and I remember the
school nurse said I needed to go to the the
hospital and get stitches, and I started crying and my
dad said, well, afterwards, we can go to McDonald's. And
(34:53):
I was like, oh, okay, So McDonald's makes everything better.
When you're like in third grade or whatever. I used
to Also in football, I would get there was a
cut under my chin, and it kept getting opened up
every year, and finally I just said the hell with it.
I stopped getting stitches on it.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
I can't believe McDonald's been opened that long. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
It is joke, all right, for a long time. I
think you just had some stitches. I think you.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
No, I didn't get any stitches. Yeah, no, just tape,
blue and tape.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
All right, cool. I have never had stitches. All right.
Here's an interesting one from Blake in Arkansas. He says,
do we think that the Queen Lorraina knows who Monica
Lewinsky is? What do you think? Yes?
Speaker 7 (35:39):
Oh, I got a song. She's mom Monica Lewinsky. She's
gonna drop it right here because she's frisky.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Okay, maybe not.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
I wish Mark was here.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Now, never do that again ever ever, Oh, you can
go sleep on your friend's couch. How about that? Wait?
Hold on though, you do you know who Monica Lewinsky?
Speaker 7 (35:57):
Yeah, she's the girl who sucked with Bill Clinton.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I don't know if they slept together, but they definitely didn't.
Thing quickly, coope, what do we Uh, actually went to
bed together, but I did not have sexual relations for
that woman.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
I don't know why he's asking this, but the King
Rory wants to know if you had to take an enema,
do you think your significant other would be willing to
help you take it?
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Wow, you're a dark, dark person and that toilet would
also be would be filled with the prim A lot
of garlic would be in there too, a lot of garlic.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
You be sure to catch live editions of the Ben
Mellor Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Let's get over to Eddie right now and puck the way.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
That's bed With twenty two days away from the start
of the NHL season for a Scheme of the Year
will be Overseas October fourth in Prague in check yea
between the news, Who des go on to that game?
Buffalo Savers, Nope, you're not a real hockey First North
American regular season games are October the eighth. Now, we
did have funeral services this past Monday for both Calgary
Flames and Clumps Blue Jaggs start Johnny Gudrou and his
(37:03):
brother Matthew. The two were hitting killed by a drunk
driver while biking. On August twenty nine, Johnny Udrou's widow, Meredith,
spoke at the service and revealed she is pregnant with
Johnny Gudrou's third child.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
So both widows are expecting children.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Yeah. Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said this week he's
confident to get a new contract before the season starts.
The Pittsburgh legend scheduled to start his twentieth NHL season,
all in Pittsburgh. While Crosby is continuing his career, a
couple of old veterans hanging it up. Defenseman Mark Stall
and defenseman Alex Golblogowski, both announcing their retirements after seventeen
(37:39):
years and the NHL. Mark Stall played one one hundred
and thirty six games with the Rangers, Red Wings, Panthers,
and Flyers. Gologowski one thousand and seventy eight games for
the Penguin, Stars, Coyotes, and wild I know Ben's very
excited that the Professional Women's Hockey League revealed the names
and logos for their six franchise that they sure hope
so now. They played their inaugural season last year without
(38:01):
nicknames or logos. They were just referred to by the cities.
So yeah, we have the Boston Fleet, a nod to
the city's rich maritime history. The Minnesota frost.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, like there are Windy's.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
The Montreal Victory, which is French for victory. The New
York Sirens is my favorite, but not a nod to
Greek mythology. It is talking about the sounds that you
will hear in New York City and when a goal
is scored the sirens like literally a siren. The Ottawa
charge and the Toronto scepters like thank no, it's supposed
(38:43):
to be like, you know, like a symbol of a royalty,
you know, the sceptor. I guess. Okay, anyway, these are
all just awful, terrible names and the logos.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Hollywood movies.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Finally, finally, a Beer League hockey team in Florida got
a thrill. We scon play on that, I hope not.
When they put out a call on Facebook that they
needed a goalie for their playoff game. Well, Hall of
Fame goalie and Florida Panthers executive Roberto Lawongo answered the call,
showed up in full uniform.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
ME guess he gave up seven goals.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
He did give up two goals. His team did win.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
The guys can say I scored a goal on it,
and that's true. Kind of like I got a hit
off a guy that led the American League and an average.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Yeah, he was throwing VP. He wanted you to hit
the ball.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
He was striking guys out. Rick Honey Cunt, look it up, kids,
Rick Honey Cutt led the American League in e R A.
He was pitching ranger this well, because it's how I
relate to the story. Guy scored a goal against Robert
and I got a hit off a big league a
e R Well.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
I think I think la Wongo was trying to stop
the buck thing. I don't know about that, but you
was throwing BP was striking you get that off a beat.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
You were not there.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
He was trying to strike guys out. He was trying
to strike guys out. I used my immense baseball ability
is going up in the bass. A bunch of you're losing,
no athletic FaZe, ravine. You've got to there. Congratulations, got
a big lead, get a big world the world. Terrible
job by you. Awesome
