(01:59):
della Ware Valley, we go with the news of the day,
Texas Now. This is a follow up to a story
that we had mentioned in a previous episode of the show.
High Drama in the Bird's Nest. High Drama in the
Bird's Nest. The Eagles, who are doing pretty well right now.
They're a playoff team and their.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Bird dogging bird dogging the.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Lions in the NFC, but they sit in the top
perch at the NFC East. However, not everything is sunshine,
rainbows and lollipops in the Bird's Nest. If you have
not heard, If you have not heard, even if you have,
we'll give you more information.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
A lot of drama this week.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We had mentioned after the game on Sunday, the Eagles
not very impressive in their win against Carolina. You had
multiple Eagle players questioning the direction of the offense, and
then you had injured defensive end. Brandon Graham, Philadelphia Eagle
legend Brandon Graham who opened up a can of worms
(02:59):
by revealing that the relationship between star wide receiver AJ
Brown and Jalen Hurts is to be kind.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
A strained relationship.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Speaking on sports radio and Philadelphia WIP, Graham said, the
person that's complaining, meaning AJ Brown, needs to be accountable.
Graham said, into the open microphone with the on air
light going, he said, I'm just being honest. He knows
this the Philadelphia ego legend. Graham said, I don't know
the whole story. But Graham said, I know that Hurts
(03:32):
is trying and AJ Brown could be a little better
with how he responds to things. He quote continues, they
were friends before this, but things have changed right there.
That's the key part of it. Things have changed now.
Later on, once the poopy hit the fanny, Graham attempted to
put the toothpaste back in the tube. Unfortunately, as you
(03:55):
know and I know, that is an impossible task.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Let us discuss the question.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Brandon Graham initially admitted that AJ Brown and Jalen herds
don't like each other. That they're not besties anymore. Is
that a big deal, a little deal, or no deal.
So my observations, I've got underlying condition, bath and bodyworks
(04:23):
and belly whopper, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a tasty cake.
Things are not so tasty right now behind the scenes,
So na bar who.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
As.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
The Eagles are out of whack. It is a story
as old as time. Star Wide receiver doesn't get the
ball enough. Star Wide receiver points finger at quarterback over
not getting the ball enough. Video and eleven the Eagles.
That's what I used to say about the nightly news.
There used to be people watching the nightly news every night.
So the Eagles knew this going into this season. You
(05:01):
might remember the collapse of the twenty twenty three NFL season.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
We certainly do.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
The Eagles were riding high until they went on a
crash into the ocean at the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
But the Eagles knew they had an underlying condition. What
was the underlying condition?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Aj Brown was at loggerheads with Jalen Hurts last year.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
They could have moved Aj like.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The Buffalo Bills did with Stefan Diggs. The Bills also
had a problem with Diggs. He was not on the
same page with Josh Allen. They traded him for a
bag of half eaten donuts, and the Eagles certainly had
the ability to make a similar trade. They would have
gotten more for AJ Brown, but instead of making that move,
they decided to keep the band together.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Said, ah, we like the music, so we'll keep the
band together.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Therefore, we have this as a little deal because nobody
can act like they were thunders struck by the.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Issues that they didn't know there was a pre existing.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Underlying condition there and now it's bubbling up yet again.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And Brown. AJ Brown has not had.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Double digit targets in the game this season since Week
number one.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Week number one, No.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Last season, Brown averaged almost double digit targets per game,
and that's the most important stat for receivers. Give me
the damn ball average nine point twenty nine targets per
game last year. This year, as we head into the
new weekend which begins on Thursday, AJ Brown is fifty
(06:40):
six in targets. To give you an idea where he's
at on the hierarchy of the NFL. The Great Ray
Ray McLeod of the Atlanta Falcons, in de Mario Douglas
of the Patriots have more targets this year than a J.
Brown Now, page two. So how do you classify Nick
(07:01):
Siriani coming out on the radio as well and essentially
saying that there's no problem between AJ Brown and Jalen.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Hurts, that he's not worried about the situation.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
And I'm paraphrasing some of this, but that was essentially
the implication of Nick Sirianni. So my position on that
is is not your standard coach speak unless it is right,
Unless it is right.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Now, you never.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Pay much attention to what coaches say regarding this kind
of stuff because they are obviously compromised witnesses. You have
the macro and you have the micro. You have the
macro and the micro.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
In this situation. Now, on the micro, you'd say, well,
it's not that big a deal.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
There is a popular belief that winning teams all they
do is sit around the campfire holding hands, roasting marshmallows
and singing Kumbayah. That is utter nonsense. Okay, that is
utter nonsense. Every locker room has clicks in it. Any
group of human beings.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That is the way it works.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And the great thing about this, though, the Eagles have
been able to win enough where when you crunch the numbers,
it's like going to bath and body works and buying
those odor eliminating candles. When you win, it covers up
a lot of bad smells, a lot of bo, a
lot of bo when you win, and Philly has done
a fair amount of that's certainly this year. But in
(08:33):
the macro, now, if you look at the macro, Nick Sirianni,
this is the kind of a situation wall right now,
it's not that big a deal.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It does lead to a gift wrap.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Box and what's in the box. What's in the box
is a pink slip with your name on it if
you don't figure it out. There's a long standing belief
in the coaching world that finding good players is the
easy part, right, Finding good play is not that hard.
Getting them to play as a team that's another story, right,
(09:05):
that's another story. And inevitably the Eagles. If you were
to say right now, who's going to win the NFC,
you'd probably say the Lions. You'd probably say the Lions.
I don't know many that would would pick the Eagles.
I mean mostly, Wow, the Eagles are right behind the Lions.
But I would say, if you were to say the
Lions or Eagles or the field, I would put the
(09:29):
field the head of the Eagles. I would put the
field ahead of the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And should the stumble happen, the stub of the toe
in the playoffs. When that does happen, then what happens
after that? The microscope comes out, and under the microscope
is Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
And the dynamic with AJ Brown.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And it's not going to be pretty. The autopsy is
not going to be pretty. Nick Sirianni's job will be
back like a boomerang in the cross ears. How could
you get rid of siriane Well, if the team chokes again,
doesn't go on a long playoff run and Nick Sirianni
is the common denominator. You got rid of the coordinators
after last year and Sirianni's still there. Yeah, you could
(10:13):
keep Sirianni and get rid of AJ Brown, or you
just get rid of Sirianni and bringing a coach to
try to make it work and keep the talent that
is AJ Brown. A right final point in the middle
of the acid rain coming down there in Philadelphia. Despite
the nine game winning streak, I believe they're on right now. A. J.
(10:34):
Brown changed his social media He included a photo on
his abvy of the Joker Batman's Joker.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
So what is that about?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
What is that about? So? AJ Brown? He's not just
dipping his toe in the water.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
To see the temperature like our buddy's daughter who went
to Antarctica.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
He's not just doing that.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I'm a put my toe in the water. I want
to be I want to be like Kevin and Florida. No, no,
he's not doing that.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
What he's doing here is.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
A belly whopper, all right. He's doing the old belly
whopper move is what he's doing, embracing the crown prints
of crime.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
The Joker. He's having some fun, right, But remember there
is a little bit of truth in every joke. Sigmund Freud,
There's a little bit of truth in every joke.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
So now Browntown AJ Brown will be under extra bright
lights going forward, and they know this. They're aware of
this in Philly. The players on the team are aware
of it, and everything will be micro analyzed. And will
he continue to sulk on the sidelines. What's the body
(11:51):
language of aj Brown gonna be like? Will he quiet
quit on the Eagles? You see, this story is not
gonna go away anytime soon.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
And the fact that Brandon Graham, mister Philadelphia Eagle, who
will be there? He says he's gonna retire. There's some
rumors he might come back now. But Brandon Graham either way,
is mister Eagle a hero for that sack on Tom
Brady in the Super Bowl back in the day.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
And he said it. And you always take the initial.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Comment and then you pooh pooh the retraction because the
retraction does not have the power the initial statement had.
Do we all understand? I think we all understand?
Speaker 1 (12:37):

A taboo of decorum has been violated. The father of

accused of been doing publicly to try to get clout.

Now back to the show. You didn't say, Bill, You

bad job by you not saying my name. We begin
this hour of hearty sports conversation with the high drama
(15:49):
in Philadelphia the Delaware Valley. The Eagles are flying high
on the field and off the field. According to Brandon Graham,
we tried to unwring the liberty bell, Brandon Grahm pointing
out that aj Brown and Jalen Hurts have a strained relationship.
Oh the drama, Oh the drama, and Nick Sirianni came out.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I was like, well it's not that bad.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Nothing to see here, so you have that while aj
Brown playing it up, deciding to turn to the joker
on social media. That's the world I'm in. I get
paid to analyze people going with the joker? How how amazing?
How amazing is that? Anyway, we'll take some phone calls
(16:35):
at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three six,
drug tester.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Having in charge of a dysfunctional team makes us much
sense as having Jed who fled, in charge of giving
hollering James his medication. That's a great idea, and James
gets all the medication, he gets a little bit of
every thing. Larry says, was Eddie Garcia, Bill Millers plus
one at the Mallard Ugly Sweater party this year?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
No, it was not my plus one.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Stuck in Sacramento rights and says B plus on the
mallad monologue.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I didn't know Brown had.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Less receptions than Dick from Dayton one of one with
minimal targets and one with a plethora, a plethora, rather
plethora of bookings to play at weddings, receptions, et cetera.
And then he sent a photo here of the Kettering
Banjo Society I don't.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Know where you found that stuck in Sacrammentdo that looks
like an.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Official Kettering Banjo Society piece of memorabilia?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
That is outstanding.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Ozzie Watch points out he did get the starlink set
up on top of the cab of his loader and
he's listening live while at work.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
That's very cool. I mean he's out there. That is beautiful.
It is a bright, sunshiny day.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
That sounds so in the western in Western Australia, the
sky is just a little bit better there.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
If a little bit.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Your favorite U show, where would you watch it at?
Speaker 1 (18:09):

like some deserted beach in Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Have you seen these photos lot the are in of
where Ozzie wa is listening.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Clouds It looks like a Bob Ross painting from PBS
back in the day. He got the the green uh
you know, covered ground there and then the bright blue
sky with the puffy white clouds. Just a beautiful See.
We're doing daytime in Australia. We're doing like evening or
afternoon or whatever in Australia. We're not just some Overnight show,
So he did. Ozzi Wah did tag you in that?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
So you're you're in there? Chip and the.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Q's rites In says a plus on the Mountain monologue,
the AJ Brown problem will obviously.
Speaker 1 (18:51):

Speaker 2 (18:53):
The Eagles just need to give the baby his bottle,
he says. Kurt writes In says, really enjoy your broadcast

Cooper Loop justin Cooper.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I got a call from Toning in the Bay Area earlier.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Great Toning the Bay Area? Did he curse at you? No?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Okay, your reading of Ozzie Waz's tweet made me made
me remember the call Toning the Bay If for some
reason has been listening to old podcast episodes from like
twenty seventeen, Yes, and he mentioned how we used to
break down the international leaders in podcast downloads, and he's like,
(19:43):
why don't you do that anymore? And I said, I said,
we don't have access to those kind of you know, analytics,
and metrics anymore, and I was wrong. I just I
just found them.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Oh you found them?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Okay? Oh oh wait? Can we can we make a

I'm trying to Okay, actually, never mind, I found it.
I was what I was looking at right now was
just for the single like day. But I've I've found
a way I can make it for the month, So
that's probably a better Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Okay, so over the last month. Here the international audience
of the Ben Maler Show. There is a big world
out there. We're just a little dot on a big
a big blue marble. All right, So me and Loraina
are gonna play. We're gonna try to guess which country,

Uh podcast downloads wise, So, uh, Lorena, what's your first guest? Wait?
Speaker 7 (20:51):

That's right, that's right. Uh. And then uh kwait, we've got.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Some wait, well that's military, that's you know what that is.
That's military, and that the people like ex military.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
And then here is a country on this list that
I've never heard of before. I thought I knew all
the countries.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Well, if it was Loraina saying she never heard of it,
then I would say, okay, that's what you never.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
See.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Let me see if I can hold on. Is it
the Marshall Islands? Is it the No?
Speaker 4 (25:55):
No, it says Papa New Guinea.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Do I have Papa? Do we have anyone listening Papa
New Guinea?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
It's like ten million people live in Papua New Guinea.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
No, it is.

Hold on Singapore. We have Singapore.

Yes, yes, it is in Africa.

don't know much much about that country. Let's see the populated.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Pretty big country for me to have not heard of

Speaker 1 (27:03):
How many people live at one point two million? Is
that right?
Speaker 4 (27:06):

Speaker 1 (27:13):
It's in eastern Africa, yes, is that right?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Is it an island? No?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Look oh yeah, oh look it says Meritis Island. Though
that's not it, because that's beautiful. No, why can't we
have a beautiful island where they listened to us coop
that we could go to the island and hang out.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
That would be awesome.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Well at number six on the list, actually right after
turned our number eight, right after New Zealand is the Bahamas.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Oh man, well, we.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Used to do very well back in the old days
before sports betting became legal in most places. A lot
of the boys that worked at the offshore books and
the Bahamas they were emailed me. They were like my penpals.
They had to because they had to go there to
run the sports books. And uh yeah, I think I'm
if I'm looking this up correctly.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
This uh m A U R I T I U

Oh damn, that's a different country.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
The one I was looking at was a beautiful place
right on the right on the Indian Ocean.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, okay, yeah, it's the same thing.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Wait wait wait so this is uh all right, Northern

We thank you for your downloads. God bless you, and
we love all of you. We want to meet you.
It's a beautiful country. I'm sure it's a great place
on God's green Earth. I have never heard of it either.
(28:55):
Uh knock Chuck is the capital large city.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Did you know that? Did not?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
It's one of the largest cities in the Sahara. The
mal show does well in the Sahara. We do very
Camels love us in the Suhara.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
I'm looking at pictures of this country and it looks
like it's just it's a lot of sand dunes.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, okay, all right, Well a little fun fact for
you courtesy.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Of Tony in the Bay. Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
And I know that this woman a fan favorite in
the Sahara Desert. Andrea in Berkeley, Hello Andrew, she's the
astrology lady. Hello Andrea, Welcome, Hello man, who are you?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
If I was.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Any better, I would be hanging out in the country.
There the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, which I'd never heard of.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
It before about ten minutes or five minutes ago.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Yeah, well back to the basic year with Max Freed
and ambitious Capricorn. Five planets in Capricorn, and that's quite
a contract he landed. I think the Yankees, you know,
growing up a Mets fan, I think the Yankees were,
you know, having a bit of an inferiority complex with
(30:11):
the Mets getting one Soto, so they dived into Max Free,
who's born January eighteen, nineteen ninety four, so his birthday's
coming up will be thirty one, and he's fresh off
his sat in return, which is twenty eight to thirty,
which is endings and new beginnings. So he got two
(30:32):
hundred and eighteen million dollars for eight years. And you
made a good point. I mean eight years. I don't
even have the time to run his chart for the
next eight years in terms of his forecast, but that's
you know, a chunk of time there, and you know,
pending a physical it's interesting to just see, you know,
(30:54):
that pragmatic Capricorn energy. And I remember when he was
with the Braves obviously, so he's got that deliberate massage.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Well, yeah, he's been with the Brands for years they
won the World Series, beat the cheating as bro. The
Max Freed pitched very well in that close out game,
and great for him that he got paid all that money,
and we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
But man's that's a lot of dough the Yankees have.
They had money to burn.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
They had to get somebody, right, you can't you can't
get shut out. You got to get somebody. And they
got the guy, They got the next guy.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
They want it right, and you know, it's a good
rotation with you know, Jerry Cole and now Max Freed.
So it'll be interesting. You know, Carlos Ridon, so one
of the deepest rotations in baseball, Clark Schmidt, that's the
Cortes Strowman. So it'll be interesting. But the two hundred
eighteen million, it's the largest for a left handed pitcher.
(31:48):
It exceeds that of David Price. Clayton Kershaw was two
hundred and fifteen million. So this is, you know, quite
a lucrative capricorn accomplishment that he got with his two
hundred eighteen million dollars.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
And you know, yes, yes, he's uh, he's set up
and generations of his family are not set up. So
he's he's good to go, and we'll check back, of course,
because as you said, and I put it out earlier,
the eight years, right, Yeah, a couple of years from
that sounds fine now, but it ain't.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
My problem is somebody else's problem. But it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
It's going to be a problem at some point in
the course of the eight years. But they'll worry about
that when it happens, and they're not going to worry
about it right now. At least for the next couple
of years. It should be great.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
Yeah, And the Satura return is new beginning, so a
lot of players start sign extremely lucrative contracts around this
Satam return. So two hundred eighteen million would that would
quantify as a lucrative contract. And it's a record for
left handed pitchers. So that's you know, quite something right there.
(32:58):
And you know, be interesting to see. He had Tommy
John surgery. I mean that that's you know, he had
some disappointing seasons here and there. No one's perfect, so
it'll be interesting to see. You know, the Yankees showed
him the money, as they say it, it'll be interesting
to see. I mean, that's a chunk of time for
(33:18):
eight years.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
So yeah, it is. It is. But hey, they they
can afford it.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
If they couldn't afford it, they wouldn't have offered the contract.
So hey, I don't feel I don't feel bad for
the Yankees. They these these baseball teams, well they have
the haves and the have nots. Because the teams that
have the TV deals that are still going on, the Yankees,
the Dodgers, the Red Sox, the Mets, those teams are
set up forever and ever. The teams that don't have
TV deals, oh that's a whole different story. It's the
(33:45):
haves and the have nots. But that's the way they
set it up. All right, thank you very much. And
again I people want to say hello our new listeners
in the Islamic Republic of Mariitania. You can say hello
to our friend. She's the astrology lady. She's had all
the star charts and all that and she's virgoing service
on it. Thank you, Andrea, you too.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
There she go.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Man Eloy from Comptence says, man I thought Zommunda was
in the top five.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
He says, uh, who else? Do we have a page down?
Kramer aka Terry in England says Uh, I use a VPN.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Pick your country, and he says, I don't listen via
the app, so many Europeans might not show on your stats.
Oh that's a good point. If you are using a VPN,
you could claim to be anywhere. So terry in England
even though we we do well in the UK, those
that use the VPN. Would we like him to choose
(34:47):
a different country? What would be a cool country to
get credit for him listening in? Do you want to listen?
Ferdug says the is the independent country of Fullerton.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
On there he wants to know.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Well, so I was taking a look at so because
you can click on the country and then it'll break
it down by city. Yeah, the top city in the
US over the last thirty days is New Orleans?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Is that right? Yep? That's interesting to me.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
That just barely ahead of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Really all right? Playing well in the New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Okay, they love it, but late night town that's because
you were there, Lorena.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Should Yeah, there.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
A lot of uh, a lot of talk about that,
a lot of build up to the train cards.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah you should have. Yeah, Malibu.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Ruben points out that this is all I know about Mauritania,
and that is where the ship graveyard is. You know
that famous graveyard where the ships go and they pick
them apart. He claims that is in Maritania. Huh, yeah,
I saw a documentary about that, the world's largest ship graveyard.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
That's yeah, it's pretty wild the video I've seen video
the ships come in there and they just pick them apart,
all the metal and they reuse it for other other things.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Obviously, it is the ben Mal. There's a lot of
corruption there, which perfect for our show. Perfect for our show.
There's a lot of corruption.
Speaker 2 (36:12):

Dave Roberts recently said he had dinner with Blank, said
(36:33):
he was thrilled to meet him in person because he
thought he was efficient fictional character until he met him.

Ben Maller on Fox back to the show we go.
That's right, Bill, That's right. Time to quickly pay off
the insta tribute And Dave Roberts recently had dinner with
Blank said he was thrilled to meet the person because
(38:37):
he thought he was a fictional character. Didn't realize this
was a real person until he had a meal with him.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
That is the question.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
What's the answer, Fat Daddy said A wax figure of
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Hacksaw, Jim Duggan from Robin Vegas, Sasquatch Guests
by Fudgie in Boston, Kevin Sitzer for mister nice guy.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
The amazing Creskin rest in Peace from Alf the Alien
of Pine Love my work Alf, The Amazing Creskin, Santa
Guess by Donkey, Sausage Vanilla Eyes from Milkman, Mike and Colorado.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
What say you of a right? I think it was
Robald McDonald.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Ben uh No, the correct the answer? The Great Sadaharu
Oh jazz baseball player, mister oh Smeller.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
How about that to the third degree. This is one
big Ben gets grilled good.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
According to a recent report, Mark Davis will likely lean
on minority owner Tom Brady during the Raiders draft process. Ben,
how much influence do you think Brady will have on
the next Raiders quarterback?
Speaker 2 (39:42):
So if the draft pick is good, Brady will get
all the credit. If the draft pick is bad, Mark
Davis picked the player. That's how this is gonna work, right,
That's pretty simple. Mark Davis doesn't know what he's doing,
and so if it works, it's Tom Brady. If it
doesn't work, it's Mark Davis.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
They'll ask him and then they'll they'll do what they're
gonna do next.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
Dave rob said this week that it's very unlikely that
Shoeo Toni will be ready to pitch by opening Day. Now, Ben,
as a Dodgers fan, what are you hoping to get
out of Otwani on the mound this season?
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Well, he needs to be.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Ready for the second half because the Dodgers gonna have
every year they have four or five pitchers go down
with Tommy John surgery, so they don't really care about
the first half. They just need him to be able
to pitch after the All Star break when their pitching
staff falls apart.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Next Baker Mayfield and the Bucks have won three games
in a row, putting them back in the first place
in the NFC South, ahead of the floundering Falcons Ben.
The three games they all won were against terrible teams.
Do you think they can win a much bigger test
against the Chargers this weekend? Well?
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Can the Buccaneers beat the Chargers? Sure?
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Because the Chargers are not a dominant team. Do I
trust the Buccaneers with that defense? Absolutely not. How did
we know you pass this edition?
Speaker 1 (40:45):
That is a wag.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
But the boys at the shipyard there and the People's
Republic of whatever they are

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our na bird to our two is right here
right now on this Wednesday. And Brandon Graham, Philadelphia Legend,
he admitted that Aj Brown and Jalen Hurts they just
don't like each other right now? Is that a big deal,
a little deal or no deal? And how do you classify?
(00:25):
Coach Nick Sirianni saying he's not worried about the situation
between his quarterback Jalen Hurts and his star wide receiver.
Also Aj Brown changing his social media to include a
photo of the joker?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Is that all about?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
We'll get to that and much more right now as
we are updating our user agreement with you. Unless we're

(01:59):
della Ware Valley, we go with the news of the day,
Texas Now. This is a follow up to a story
that we had mentioned in a previous episode of the show.
High Drama in the Bird's Nest. High Drama in the
Bird's Nest. The Eagles, who are doing pretty well right now.
They're a playoff team and their.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Bird dogging bird dogging the.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Lions in the NFC, but they sit in the top
perch at the NFC East. However, not everything is sunshine,
rainbows and lollipops in the Bird's Nest. If you have
not heard, If you have not heard, even if you have,
we'll give you more information.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
A lot of drama this week.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We had mentioned after the game on Sunday, the Eagles
not very impressive in their win against Carolina. You had
multiple Eagle players questioning the direction of the offense, and
then you had injured defensive end. Brandon Graham, Philadelphia Eagle
legend Brandon Graham who opened up a can of worms
(02:59):
by revealing that the relationship between star wide receiver AJ
Brown and Jalen Hurts is to be kind.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
A strained relationship.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Speaking on sports radio and Philadelphia WIP, Graham said, the
person that's complaining, meaning AJ Brown, needs to be accountable.
Graham said, into the open microphone with the on air
light going, he said, I'm just being honest. He knows
this the Philadelphia ego legend. Graham said, I don't know
the whole story. But Graham said, I know that Hurts
(03:32):
is trying and AJ Brown could be a little better
with how he responds to things. He quote continues, they
were friends before this, but things have changed right there.
That's the key part of it. Things have changed now.
Later on, once the poopy hit the fanny, Graham attempted to
put the toothpaste back in the tube. Unfortunately, as you
(03:55):
know and I know, that is an impossible task.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Let us discuss the question.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Brandon Graham initially admitted that AJ Brown and Jalen herds
don't like each other. That they're not besties anymore. Is
that a big deal, a little deal, or no deal.
So my observations, I've got underlying condition, bath and bodyworks
(04:23):
and belly whopper, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a tasty cake.
Things are not so tasty right now behind the scenes,
So na bar who.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
As.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
The Eagles are out of whack. It is a story
as old as time. Star Wide receiver doesn't get the
ball enough. Star Wide receiver points finger at quarterback over
not getting the ball enough. Video and eleven the Eagles.
That's what I used to say about the nightly news.
There used to be people watching the nightly news every night.
So the Eagles knew this going into this season. You
(05:01):
might remember the collapse of the twenty twenty three NFL season.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
We certainly do.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
The Eagles were riding high until they went on a
crash into the ocean at the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
But the Eagles knew they had an underlying condition. What
was the underlying condition?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Aj Brown was at loggerheads with Jalen Hurts last year.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
They could have moved Aj like.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The Buffalo Bills did with Stefan Diggs. The Bills also
had a problem with Diggs. He was not on the
same page with Josh Allen. They traded him for a
bag of half eaten donuts, and the Eagles certainly had
the ability to make a similar trade. They would have
gotten more for AJ Brown, but instead of making that move,
they decided to keep the band together.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Said, ah, we like the music, so we'll keep the
band together.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Therefore, we have this as a little deal because nobody
can act like they were thunders struck by the.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Issues that they didn't know there was a pre existing.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Underlying condition there and now it's bubbling up yet again.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And Brown. AJ Brown has not had.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Double digit targets in the game this season since Week
number one.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Week number one, No.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Last season, Brown averaged almost double digit targets per game,
and that's the most important stat for receivers. Give me
the damn ball average nine point twenty nine targets per
game last year. This year, as we head into the
new weekend which begins on Thursday, AJ Brown is fifty
(06:40):
six in targets. To give you an idea where he's
at on the hierarchy of the NFL. The Great Ray
Ray McLeod of the Atlanta Falcons, in de Mario Douglas
of the Patriots have more targets this year than a J.
Brown Now, page two. So how do you classify Nick
(07:01):
Siriani coming out on the radio as well and essentially
saying that there's no problem between AJ Brown and Jalen.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Hurts, that he's not worried about the situation.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
And I'm paraphrasing some of this, but that was essentially
the implication of Nick Sirianni. So my position on that
is is not your standard coach speak unless it is right,
Unless it is right.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Now, you never.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Pay much attention to what coaches say regarding this kind
of stuff because they are obviously compromised witnesses. You have
the macro and you have the micro. You have the
macro and the micro.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
In this situation. Now, on the micro, you'd say, well,
it's not that big a deal.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
There is a popular belief that winning teams all they
do is sit around the campfire holding hands, roasting marshmallows
and singing Kumbayah. That is utter nonsense. Okay, that is
utter nonsense. Every locker room has clicks in it. Any
group of human beings.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That is the way it works.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And the great thing about this, though, the Eagles have
been able to win enough where when you crunch the numbers,
it's like going to bath and body works and buying
those odor eliminating candles. When you win, it covers up
a lot of bad smells, a lot of bo, a
lot of bo when you win, and Philly has done
a fair amount of that's certainly this year. But in
(08:33):
the macro, now, if you look at the macro, Nick Sirianni,
this is the kind of a situation wall right now,
it's not that big a deal.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It does lead to a gift wrap.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Box and what's in the box. What's in the box
is a pink slip with your name on it if
you don't figure it out. There's a long standing belief
in the coaching world that finding good players is the
easy part, right, Finding good play is not that hard.
Getting them to play as a team that's another story, right,
(09:05):
that's another story. And inevitably the Eagles. If you were
to say right now, who's going to win the NFC,
you'd probably say the Lions. You'd probably say the Lions.
I don't know many that would would pick the Eagles.
I mean mostly, Wow, the Eagles are right behind the Lions.
But I would say, if you were to say the
Lions or Eagles or the field, I would put the
(09:29):
field the head of the Eagles. I would put the
field ahead of the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And should the stumble happen, the stub of the toe
in the playoffs. When that does happen, then what happens
after that? The microscope comes out, and under the microscope
is Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
And the dynamic with AJ Brown.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And it's not going to be pretty. The autopsy is
not going to be pretty. Nick Sirianni's job will be
back like a boomerang in the cross ears. How could
you get rid of siriane Well, if the team chokes again,
doesn't go on a long playoff run and Nick Sirianni
is the common denominator. You got rid of the coordinators
after last year and Sirianni's still there. Yeah, you could
(10:13):
keep Sirianni and get rid of AJ Brown, or you
just get rid of Sirianni and bringing a coach to
try to make it work and keep the talent that
is AJ Brown. A right final point in the middle
of the acid rain coming down there in Philadelphia. Despite
the nine game winning streak, I believe they're on right now. A. J.
(10:34):
Brown changed his social media He included a photo on
his abvy of the Joker Batman's Joker.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
So what is that about?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
What is that about? So? AJ Brown? He's not just
dipping his toe in the water.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
To see the temperature like our buddy's daughter who went
to Antarctica.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
He's not just doing that.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I'm a put my toe in the water. I want
to be I want to be like Kevin and Florida. No, no,
he's not doing that.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
What he's doing here is.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
A belly whopper, all right. He's doing the old belly
whopper move is what he's doing, embracing the crown prints
of crime.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
The Joker. He's having some fun, right, But remember there
is a little bit of truth in every joke. Sigmund Freud,
There's a little bit of truth in every joke.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
So now Browntown AJ Brown will be under extra bright
lights going forward, and they know this. They're aware of
this in Philly. The players on the team are aware
of it, and everything will be micro analyzed. And will
he continue to sulk on the sidelines. What's the body
(11:51):
language of aj Brown gonna be like? Will he quiet
quit on the Eagles? You see, this story is not
gonna go away anytime soon.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
And the fact that Brandon Graham, mister Philadelphia Eagle, who
will be there? He says he's gonna retire. There's some
rumors he might come back now. But Brandon Graham either way,
is mister Eagle a hero for that sack on Tom
Brady in the Super Bowl back in the day.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
And he said it. And you always take the initial.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Comment and then you pooh pooh the retraction because the
retraction does not have the power the initial statement had.
Do we all understand? I think we all understand?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
All right? It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (12:41):

A taboo of decorum has been violated. The father of
(13:17):
an NFL star is in hot water. There's a lot
of finger pointing, a lot of nasty words being said
about an NFL legend's father and what that father is
accused of been doing publicly to try to get clout.
We will explain the situation. We'll give you the details
(13:39):
on that. It's pretty ugly. It's happened before, it'll happen again.

Now back to the show. You didn't say, Bill, You
didn't say my name, Bill, you did not. That's a
bad job by you not saying my name. We begin
this hour of hearty sports conversation with the high drama
(15:49):
in Philadelphia the Delaware Valley. The Eagles are flying high
on the field and off the field. According to Brandon Graham,
we tried to unwring the liberty bell, Brandon Grahm pointing
out that aj Brown and Jalen Hurts have a strained relationship.
Oh the drama, Oh the drama, and Nick Sirianni came out.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I was like, well it's not that bad.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Nothing to see here, so you have that while aj
Brown playing it up, deciding to turn to the joker
on social media. That's the world I'm in. I get
paid to analyze people going with the joker? How how amazing?
How amazing is that? Anyway, we'll take some phone calls
(16:35):
at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three six,
drug tester.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Having in charge of a dysfunctional team makes us much
sense as having Jed who fled, in charge of giving
hollering James his medication. That's a great idea, and James
gets all the medication, he gets a little bit of
every thing. Larry says, was Eddie Garcia, Bill Millers plus
one at the Mallard Ugly Sweater party this year?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
No, it was not my plus one.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Stuck in Sacramento rights and says B plus on the
mallad monologue.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I didn't know Brown had.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Less receptions than Dick from Dayton one of one with
minimal targets and one with a plethora, a plethora, rather
plethora of bookings to play at weddings, receptions, et cetera.
And then he sent a photo here of the Kettering
Banjo Society I don't.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Know where you found that stuck in Sacrammentdo that looks
like an.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Official Kettering Banjo Society piece of memorabilia?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
That is outstanding.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Ozzie Watch points out he did get the starlink set
up on top of the cab of his loader and
he's listening live while at work.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
That's very cool. I mean he's out there. That is beautiful.
It is a bright, sunshiny day.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
That sounds so in the western in Western Australia, the
sky is just a little bit better there.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
If a little bit.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Your favorite U show, where would you watch it at?
Speaker 1 (18:09):

like some deserted beach in Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Have you seen these photos lot the are in of
where Ozzie wa is listening.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Clouds It looks like a Bob Ross painting from PBS
back in the day. He got the the green uh
you know, covered ground there and then the bright blue
sky with the puffy white clouds. Just a beautiful See.
We're doing daytime in Australia. We're doing like evening or
afternoon or whatever in Australia. We're not just some Overnight show,
So he did. Ozzi Wah did tag you in that?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
So you're you're in there? Chip and the.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Q's rites In says a plus on the Mountain monologue,
the AJ Brown problem will obviously.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Go away if he's targeted more.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
The Eagles just need to give the baby his bottle,
he says. Kurt writes In says, really enjoy your broadcast
in prospectives. Definitely an insomniac. Kurt says, thanks for being

Cooper Loop justin Cooper.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I got a call from Toning in the Bay Area earlier.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Great Toning the Bay Area? Did he curse at you? No?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Okay, your reading of Ozzie Waz's tweet made me made
me remember the call Toning the Bay If for some
reason has been listening to old podcast episodes from like
twenty seventeen, Yes, and he mentioned how we used to
break down the international leaders in podcast downloads, and he's like,
(19:43):
why don't you do that anymore? And I said, I said,
we don't have access to those kind of you know, analytics,
and metrics anymore, and I was wrong. I just I
just found them.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Oh you found them?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Okay? Oh oh wait? Can we can we make a
bit out of it?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Well, so I'd like to.
Speaker 1 (20:01):

Well, me and Lorena can play? Yeah, all right, let's
take all right? What do you? What do you?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I'm trying to Okay, actually, never mind, I found it.
I was what I was looking at right now was
just for the single like day. But I've I've found
a way I can make it for the month, So
that's probably a better Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Okay, so over the last month. Here the international audience
of the Ben Maler Show. There is a big world
out there. We're just a little dot on a big
a big blue marble. All right, So me and Loraina
are gonna play. We're gonna try to guess which country,
and we have the most listeners in other than America,
so the obvious one I'll go first is Canada. We're

on some radio stations in Canada, so I'm gonna go Canada.
Uh podcast downloads wise, So, uh, Lorena, what's your first guest? Wait?

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Oh man, well, we.
Speaker 2 (27:40):

before sports betting became legal in most places. A lot
of the boys that worked at the offshore books and
the Bahamas they were emailed me. They were like my penpals.
They had to because they had to go there to
run the sports books. And uh yeah, I think I'm

The one I was looking at was a beautiful place
right on the right on the Indian Ocean.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, okay, yeah, it's the same thing.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Wait wait wait so this is uh all right, Northern

We thank you for your downloads. God bless you, and
we love all of you. We want to meet you.
It's a beautiful country. I'm sure it's a great place
on God's green Earth. I have never heard of it either.
(28:55):
Uh knock Chuck is the capital large city.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Did you know that? Did not?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
It's one of the largest cities in the Sahara. The
mal show does well in the Sahara. We do very
Camels love us in the Suhara.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
I'm looking at pictures of this country and it looks
like it's just it's a lot of sand dunes.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, okay, all right, Well a little fun fact for
you courtesy.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Of Tony in the Bay. Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
And I know that this woman a fan favorite in
the Sahara Desert. Andrea in Berkeley, Hello Andrew, she's the
astrology lady. Hello Andrea, Welcome, Hello man, who are you?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
If I was.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Any better, I would be hanging out in the country.
There the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, which I'd never heard of.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
It before about ten minutes or five minutes ago.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Yeah, well back to the basic year with Max Freed
and ambitious Capricorn. Five planets in Capricorn, and that's quite
a contract he landed. I think the Yankees, you know,
growing up a Mets fan, I think the Yankees were,
you know, having a bit of an inferiority complex with
(30:11):
the Mets getting one Soto, so they dived into Max Free,
who's born January eighteen, nineteen ninety four, so his birthday's
coming up will be thirty one, and he's fresh off
his sat in return, which is twenty eight to thirty,
which is endings and new beginnings. So he got two
(30:32):
hundred and eighteen million dollars for eight years. And you
made a good point. I mean eight years. I don't
even have the time to run his chart for the
next eight years in terms of his forecast, but that's
you know, a chunk of time there, and you know,
pending a physical it's interesting to just see, you know,
(30:54):
that pragmatic Capricorn energy. And I remember when he was
with the Braves obviously, so he's got that deliberate massage.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Well, yeah, he's been with the Brands for years they
won the World Series, beat the cheating as bro. The
Max Freed pitched very well in that close out game,
and great for him that he got paid all that money,
and we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
But man's that's a lot of dough the Yankees have.
They had money to burn.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
They had to get somebody, right, you can't you can't
get shut out. You got to get somebody. And they
got the guy, They got the next guy.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
They want it right, and you know, it's a good
rotation with you know, Jerry Cole and now Max Freed.
So it'll be interesting. You know, Carlos Ridon, so one
of the deepest rotations in baseball, Clark Schmidt, that's the
Cortes Strowman. So it'll be interesting. But the two hundred
eighteen million, it's the largest for a left handed pitcher.
(31:48):
It exceeds that of David Price. Clayton Kershaw was two
hundred and fifteen million. So this is, you know, quite
a lucrative capricorn accomplishment that he got with his two
hundred eighteen million dollars.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
And you know, yes, yes, he's uh, he's set up
and generations of his family are not set up. So
he's he's good to go, and we'll check back, of course,
because as you said, and I put it out earlier,
the eight years, right, Yeah, a couple of years from
that sounds fine now, but it ain't.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
My problem is somebody else's problem. But it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
It's going to be a problem at some point in
the course of the eight years. But they'll worry about
that when it happens, and they're not going to worry
about it right now. At least for the next couple
of years. It should be great.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
Yeah, And the Satura return is new beginning, so a
lot of players start sign extremely lucrative contracts around this
Satam return. So two hundred eighteen million would that would
quantify as a lucrative contract. And it's a record for
left handed pitchers. So that's you know, quite something right there.
(32:58):
And you know, be interesting to see. He had Tommy
John surgery. I mean that that's you know, he had
some disappointing seasons here and there. No one's perfect, so
it'll be interesting to see. You know, the Yankees showed
him the money, as they say it, it'll be interesting
to see. I mean, that's a chunk of time for
(33:18):
eight years.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
So yeah, it is. It is. But hey, they they
can afford it.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
If they couldn't afford it, they wouldn't have offered the contract.
So hey, I don't feel I don't feel bad for
the Yankees. They these these baseball teams, well they have
the haves and the have nots. Because the teams that
have the TV deals that are still going on, the Yankees,
the Dodgers, the Red Sox, the Mets, those teams are
set up forever and ever. The teams that don't have
TV deals, oh that's a whole different story. It's the
(33:45):
haves and the have nots. But that's the way they
set it up. All right, thank you very much. And
again I people want to say hello our new listeners
in the Islamic Republic of Mariitania. You can say hello
to our friend. She's the astrology lady. She's had all
the star charts and all that and she's virgoing service
on it. Thank you, Andrea, you too.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
There she go.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Man Eloy from Comptence says, man I thought Zommunda was
in the top five.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
He says, uh, who else? Do we have a page down?
Kramer aka Terry in England says Uh, I use a VPN.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Pick your country, and he says, I don't listen via
the app, so many Europeans might not show on your stats.
Oh that's a good point. If you are using a VPN,
you could claim to be anywhere. So terry in England
even though we we do well in the UK, those
that use the VPN. Would we like him to choose
(34:47):
a different country? What would be a cool country to
get credit for him listening in? Do you want to listen?
Ferdug says the is the independent country of Fullerton.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
On there he wants to know.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Well, so I was taking a look at so because
you can click on the country and then it'll break
it down by city. Yeah, the top city in the
US over the last thirty days is New Orleans?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Is that right? Yep? That's interesting to me.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
That just barely ahead of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Really all right? Playing well in the New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Okay, they love it, but late night town that's because
you were there, Lorena.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Should Yeah, there.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
A lot of uh, a lot of talk about that,
a lot of build up to the train cards.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah you should have. Yeah, Malibu.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Ruben points out that this is all I know about Mauritania,
and that is where the ship graveyard is. You know
that famous graveyard where the ships go and they pick
them apart. He claims that is in Maritania. Huh, yeah,
I saw a documentary about that, the world's largest ship graveyard.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
That's yeah, it's pretty wild the video I've seen video
the ships come in there and they just pick them apart,
all the metal and they reuse it for other other things.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Obviously, it is the ben Mal. There's a lot of
corruption there, which perfect for our show. Perfect for our show.
There's a lot of corruption.
Speaker 2 (36:12):

(36:33):
he was thrilled to meet him in person because he
thought he was efficient fictional character until he met him.

That's right, Bill, That's right. Time to quickly pay off
the insta tribute And Dave Roberts recently had dinner with
Blank said he was thrilled to meet the person because
(38:37):
he thought he was a fictional character. Didn't realize this
was a real person until he had a meal with him.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
That is the question.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
What's the answer, Fat Daddy said A wax figure of
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Hacksaw, Jim Duggan from Robin Vegas, Sasquatch Guests
by Fudgie in Boston, Kevin Sitzer for mister nice guy.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
The amazing Creskin rest in Peace from Alf the Alien
of Pine Love my work Alf, The Amazing Creskin, Santa
Guess by Donkey, Sausage Vanilla Eyes from Milkman, Mike and Colorado.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
What say you of a right? I think it was
Robald McDonald.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Ben uh No, the correct the answer? The Great Sadaharu
Oh jazz baseball player, mister oh Smeller.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
How about that to the third degree. This is one
big Ben gets grilled good.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
According to a recent report, Mark Davis will likely lean
on minority owner Tom Brady during the Raiders draft process. Ben,
how much influence do you think Brady will have on
the next Raiders quarterback?
Speaker 2 (39:42):
So if the draft pick is good, Brady will get
all the credit. If the draft pick is bad, Mark
Davis picked the player. That's how this is gonna work, right,
That's pretty simple. Mark Davis doesn't know what he's doing,
and so if it works, it's Tom Brady. If it
doesn't work, it's Mark Davis.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
They'll ask him and then they'll they'll do what they're
gonna do next.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
Dave rob said this week that it's very unlikely that
Shoeo Toni will be ready to pitch by opening Day. Now, Ben,
as a Dodgers fan, what are you hoping to get
out of Otwani on the mound this season?
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Well, he needs to be.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Ready for the second half because the Dodgers gonna have
every year they have four or five pitchers go down
with Tommy John surgery, so they don't really care about
the first half. They just need him to be able
to pitch after the All Star break when their pitching
staff falls apart.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Next Baker Mayfield and the Bucks have won three games
in a row, putting them back in the first place
in the NFC South, ahead of the floundering Falcons Ben.
The three games they all won were against terrible teams.
Do you think they can win a much bigger test
against the Chargers this weekend? Well?
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Can the Buccaneers beat the Chargers? Sure?
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Because the Chargers are not a dominant team. Do I
trust the Buccaneers with that defense? Absolutely not. How did
we know you pass this edition?
Speaker 1 (40:45):
That is a wag.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
But the boys at the shipyard there and the People's
Republic of whatever they are
