Speaker 1 (01:39):
Say hello to my little friend.
Speaker 2 (01:41):

Speaker 3 (01:46):
From happy to Unhappy Valley. Just like that dwell um

over ten thousand recommended installers, and azzi waz lives about
ten thousand kilometers away from anyone else other than kangaroos,
Tiraq dot com the way tire buying should be. And
as we've been mentioning most of the week, here we
(02:55):
begin here by mentioning our thoughts go out to those effected.
Here we do the show from La the fires. The
numbers are just mind boggling. It's an apocalyptic type situation here.
But our thoughts are with the first responders, those that
have been affected by the fires. Twenty nine thousand acres
at last report, fifty seven billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
In economic damage. I saw I was reridden somewhere.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
They said that the size of the fires in southern
California is the size of the entire city of San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It's it's wild. Our thoughts are there, But our job
is to do sports.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Very important work, right, very important work to talk about sports.
But our lead this hour is from South Florida, just
outside Miami, Miami, Miami, where weed Man Hippie, our caller
is looking for a new place to live.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
That was the stage, the grand stage.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Oh what a grand stage it was for the Orange Bowl,
the college football playoff semi final game, give me weight matchup.
There was bobbing, there was weaving between Penn State and
Notre Dame. Now, I don't know if you saw this game.
This was the it game of the Final four of
college football, but perhaps you missed it. You had something
(04:14):
else going on. Don't worry, we watch so you would
not have to. It's our active kindness of good midst
of the day.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It was a barn burner of a matchup.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
There were lead changes, there was drama, there were injuries,
and in the end it came down to a defensive
play for the fighting Irish, Notre Dame defensive back Christian
Gray getting her done as he picked off Penn State
quarterback Drew Aller his pass across the middle at the
(04:44):
Nitney Lions forty two yard line with thirty three seconds
left on the game clock.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
So a major turn events.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
The Irish thing got nineteen yards quickly on offense and
that set up a forty one yard field goal was
seven seconds left by someone named Mitch Jeter, not Derek,
but Mitch Jeter to win the game.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And he won the game.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night. So Notre Dame
fourteen and one. The Irish continue their magic carpet ride
the seven seed and they're into the first.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Twelve team college football playoff.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
They're into the championship and they will have a chance
to bring back the first title since nineteen eighty eight,
since nineteen eighty eight, and the game January twentieth coming
up here January twentieth in Atlanta, home of a great
airport there in Atlanta, against the winner of the game
(05:45):
that we played here on Friday night between the Longhorns
of Texas and the Ohio State buck guys who will
try to dot the I in the semi final in
the Cotton Bowl.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So a lot to talk about.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Better story, though, is in the losing locker room, So
we will start in the losing locker room because we
like the better story and it's really about one person,
and one person in particular as we discuss here, and
that is the quarterback for the Nittillions. Will Penn State
quarterback Drew Aller be haunted by this performance? So I've
(06:19):
got Altoid's underlying condition and swamp creature, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a nice tropical vacation which all these players
for Penn.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
State who are getting that big nil money can enjoy
a nice tropical vacation.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
So will Penn State quarterback Drew Aller be haunted by
this performance? That was the question, I'm not in my head.
Yes you can't see me, but I'm not. If you're
watching the YouTube channel, you can't see I'm not in
my head. Yes, right in the blink of an eye,
his story changed, his story change Now. He did the
thing you can't do at the time. You can't do it,
(07:02):
and there's no other way to say it. Right, the
game was in his hands now, not necessarily to win
the game, but just don't lose the game. And he
screwed up. And here is the man of the hour
facing the media. I give him credit. He didn't hide
like a coward. Who's your's Drew Aller talking about what
(07:23):
the heck went wrong?
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Yeah, I mean I was going through my progression, got
to the backside, and honestly, I was just trying to
dirt it at his feet. But just I should have
just thrown it away when I felt the first two
progressions not open, just because of the situation we were in.
But I was just trying to dirt it out of
Mary's feet. So but I'm just in to execute what
I was trying to.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Do that would be an understatement. So again, from.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Being at the very peak of all of college football,
everyone's talking about this guy and now he needs some altoids,
those Arctic peppermint breath mints because he's got dragon breath.
Interception aside, Like, that was a terrible play, and that
ended the game for Penn State. But he was bad
to the ball and throughout the game. If you were
(08:09):
watching twelve of twenty three, a little over fifty percent
completion rate, only one hundred and thirty five yards, passing
less than six yards per pass, mostly to running backs.
I don't even know if they completed a pass to
a wide receiver, one interception in a passer rating of fifty.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
One point one.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And so he was the duke, the Duke of Puke
in this game, and NFL scouts were salivating about the
ability of Alor before the game.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Possibly entering the NFL draft.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
He had announced already his intention to return to Happy
Valley in twenty twenty five for the next college football season,
but NFL scouts.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Were like, there's a chance now, even.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
With this public flatulence, even without going out there and
farting on the big stage.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Drew has the prototypical physical gifts. We're even with that.
He's still going to be fine down the line, but.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's it's one of those things where if he he
only gets so many chances in these type of games,
and if you have another bad one, then that becomes
your reputation. It's what you did last in these type
of games. And so he's got the powerful arm, which
is great, and the size, the prototypical size that the
NFL world wants, and the extends plays, and he can
be a pocket passer. He is a pocket passer and
(09:29):
all that, which is all which is all wonderful, But
you can't do what he did in that moment. It's
obvious now. James Franklin getting a lot of crap more
on him later in the hour, but here's a little
taste of his thoughts. The Penn State coach on the
Nitley Lions exiting college football's playoff stage left Egil.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
We're all hurting. You know, this ain't easy to get
in here right after the game and have a conversation
after you just poured your guts out on that field
and really did it all year long. So you know he'll.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Handle he'll handle it great.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
He'll be hurting tonight, and he'll be hurting tomorrow, and
he'll hurt a little bit less the next day, and.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So on and so forth.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
But he's a he's a committed guy that's going to
do it the right way.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And he said it.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
It may not feel like it right now, but he'll
learn from this and he'll be better for it, and
so will we.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Well, he kept saying he did not seeing the man's name.
He was talking about Drew Aller, his quarterback. There all
right now, turning the page. As for the fighting Irish,
a lot of chatter, a lot of chatter, some of
it was on the broadcast, that it's just different. There's
a different vibration around Notre Dame. And the question for
(10:46):
the esteem panel now that Notre Dame is going to
be playing for the National Championship, thumbs up or thumbs down?
Has coach Marcus Freeman made Notre Dame like Thumb's upper
thumbs down? So I'm gonna go thumbs down. Okay, I'm
going thumbs down here. Unpopular opinion. Let me tell you why.
(11:07):
It's not about James Franklin. It's not about the Irish players.
They come and go right they're not there for that long,
especially now with nil money. But when you look at
Notre Dame, the thing that makes them unlikable is the
underlying condition. Some people are annoyed by leperkauns. Other people
don't like the gold helmets right touchdown Jesus rubs people
the wrong way. The whole playing like a championship, you know,
(11:30):
playing like a champion thing that's annoying to some people.
The whole Irish mystique we're better than everybody, that's part
of it. And when you dig deeper, the thing that
I circled on my scorecard, the golden domers, insufferable fan
base that gets under everyone's skin, the entitled Notre Dame
fan that they're in the same class like Yankee fans,
(11:53):
Laker historians, Cowboys fans.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You know what I'm talking about. You feel with me
on that like the worst show.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
There's a famous quote by lew Holtz, and I'll probably
butcher it, but lou Holtz, when he was coaching at
Notre Dame, said, those who know Notre Dame, no explanation
is necessary, and for those who don't, no explanation will suffice,
which is about right right, which is about right and
because yeah, those that love Notre Dame, whether you were
(12:21):
raised into it because you're Catholic, or whether you just
love Notre Dame because they're on NBC every week and
all that you love them. And for those on the
other side of the aisle, it doesn't matter. It's like
Democrats and Republicans, right, you can't agree on anything. There's
no bite. Part is an issue all right? Now, last word,
So who smells the worst? Who smells the worst? From
(12:44):
Notre Dame's return to the pinnacle of college wo by
you probably said, well, James Franklin, Penn State Drew Aller
that interception. Now, bad job by you. The correct answer
would be four thousand dollars. About the swamp creature also
known as also known as LSU coach Brian Kelly.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
L stick out pe you what staks.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Let's go back on the hot top time machine the
Year of Our Lord twenty twenty two. On his way
out out of South Bend, Indiana, on his way to
to battl Rouge, Louisiana, Brian Kelly not only picked up
a Cajun accent, he also gave a body blow, body blow,
(13:35):
body blow to the Irish program. He said words that
are guaranteed to pop that cup, and they certainly did.
Brian Kelly said, quote, I want to be in an
environment where I have the resources to win a national championship,
and that is why Brian Kelly went to LSU. Since
(14:00):
Brian Kelly got to LSU, they have not made the
College Football Playoff, while Notre Dame will be.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Playing for the national championship.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
In a little less than two weeks and they will
have Ohio State in Texas. And ask for the question
of who you'd rather play if your Notre Dame, the
coward would say, we want to play Texas because they're
not as good, but the better story is Ohio State.
You'd want to play Ohio State because that's the better
(14:30):
team and that solidifies whatever this season is.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Whereas if you beat Texas.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
People will start picking apart your wins and say, well,
I don't know, you didn't play this team, you didn't
play that team, and so you take down Ohio State.
Ohio State is the top available option for Notre Dame,
and in all Midwestern matchup there.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It would be Ohio State and Notre Dame.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
But Texas will have a say in that that game,
of course being played.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Later on Friday night.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
It is the Ben Mallor Show. As we are just
beginning the all night red eye flight. I don't know
if you're gonna jump out of the plane with the

Speaker 1 (15:19):

an advantage unlike the podcast listeners that can only listen.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Cannot interact back to it.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
We go, well, Bill, you didn't say my name, Bill,
and we're talking college football the rare and appropriate College
Football Hour as Notre Dame has moved on a late
interception setting up a field goal, and so the Fighting
Irish have a chance to win their first national championship
(18:06):
since Ronald Reagan was the president in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It was January of eighty eight. He left the White
House in January twelve.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
That game was played before then. So I, oh, thank you, Lorani.
I'm not a historian. I'm not a Laker person.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You know, I'm not that.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
And we have bad news to report here, but I'm
going to allow this. Normally I would not allow this
kind of thing. But we did hear from our friend
Cowboy Drew who says that he's lost our show. He's
over on coast to coast hearing like drone talk or
something like that. But he says he will return Cowboy Drew.
He'll check back in for jokes later on, so we'll
(18:50):
at least get him back.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
And as long as we get him.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
For two hours, I'm good with that. I'd rather have
him for all four, but as long as we get
two hours, we're happy about that.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Gunner, he's the influencer, works at the Walmart in northern Minnesota,
hours north of Duluth, like the real far pretty much
southern Canada, you know, Southern Canada. And Gunner says, bad
job by you. Notre Dame is likable, So right there,
(19:21):
you know that my take is right and Gunners takes
from whatever Gunner's take is. You want to be on
the opposite side of Gunner's take, He says, I don't
mind them, but I'm a Tar Heels fan and also
a Gophers fan. Yeah, a little odd there. It's an
odd mix North Carolina and Mina Solta. Shannon de Moinese
(19:44):
rites in along with his lady friend Kelly in the
Moines and says, what class between Notre Dame and Penn
State last night the kind of game that revives the
human spirit unless it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, yeah, it was. It was. The game was good.
I mean, I was one of the greatest game I've
ever seen, but it was didn't suck. I was engaged.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Penn State came out early on Notre Dames backup was
playing their backup quarterbacks playing for a stretch, and.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
The Irish came back and still end up winning.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Shane also says, congrats to your Rams on a postseason
berth in twenty twenty five. As a Seahawks fan, we
need to fire everyone in a in a suit, and
half the guys in uniform, especially the offensive line, blame
the fat guys winning. To out blame the fat guys,
they go DJ Spin aka Patrick in San Diego. I
(20:43):
like I've met Patrick Pator's been in studio before. The
fellow broadcast guy. He says, Benjamin, I'll be enjoying the
whole flight this evening morning working at the studio himself.
So he'll be in his studio and we're in our studio,
and the.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
World will go round, the world will go around. Ryan says,
today the NFL rammed it right up.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
The Rams blank stupid should have played the game in
San Diego.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Not Arizona. Yeah, oh, that would have been much more convenient.
But they're worried.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
The from what I understand the we'll talk about that
more next hour, but the NFL was worried, Well, what
if the fires break out in San Diego and we
can't move the game again. So we can only move
the game one time, so we figure like the cacti
and Phoenix aren't going to burn up.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
So we're pretty good there. Now, what they should have
really done.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I don't know what's going on in the stadium in Vegas,
but it would have been much more convenient. Vegas is
essentially a suburb of LA. A lot of the people
that have been chased out of their homes because of
the fires have just gone to Vegas to gamble, waiting
to get the green light to come home, hoping they
have something to come home to. But it's a little
bit of a longer track from LA to Phoenix, and
(21:58):
there's not much in between.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I've made the drive.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I've made the drive from LA to Phoenix many times.
Get out to Palm Springs, I have a nice meal there,
get out to the state line, and then there's nothing
from the California Arizona state line until you get in
to the Greater Phoenix area there is.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Don't lie then, No, there's lots of sand and dirt.
Have you made that drive before? Have you made the
trip over there, Lorena? Not all the way over there?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, you know, there's a different time zone. There's a
there's a Native American Indian reservation out there, and it's
a sovereign place.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
They have their own time zone. It's very bizarre.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I think it's that they're on California time while Arizona doesn't.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Arizona doesn't change time.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
So part of the year, Arizona's on Mountain time, and
so they're not on the same time zone. So like
it depends on what time the year you drive through there.
This part well, but because because you start out driving
in one time zone and then you're you know, for
a few miles you're in a different time zone and
then boom your back but you're in the same state.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
You're in the same state.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Jason in Kansas City, who hung out at the top
table at the Mallard Meet and greet, he was at
the big wigs table because Jason in Kansas City is
a big wig.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
When we were at the landing there eating.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
The Ben Maller chicken fingers, he says ten out of
ten on the Mallard monologue, Man, that was a great
college football game. But why did James Franklin decide? He says,
why did James Franklin decide to get aggressive late in
the game when Penn State was only one good had
only one good pass catcher. Yeah, well, it would have
(23:36):
been fine if they had actually made the play.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Obviously they did not make the play, and it.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Seems James Franklin thought he could catch Notre Dame by
surprise possibly and maybe make one play getting the field
goal range. Instead, there was one play and it got
it ended up getting Notre Dame in field goal range
and not Penn State.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
JD.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
And case Wright since says, I'm here again this morning, brother,
I'm driving through the blank, could heat blank Missouri or
weather the chief until the cast get drops, We'll be
careful out there, JD. In Casey, I have been texting
my radio, my radio homeboy, the Great Bob Fesco on
my radio Friends, and he was explaining how the weather
has been been brutal. They don't get a lot of
(24:17):
snow normally in Kansas City. But this has been a
bad week.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
A lot of a lot of terrible weather.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
And it's that time of the year. Yeah, there you go,
dread Pie says. It sounds like there's some turbulence to
start the show off. Hopefully you have a smooth flight
the rest of the way. Well, that's the that's the goal.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
The goal is to have that smooth, nice, smooth landing
and nothing to worry about. Just knock it out of
the park. It's the way to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
So time to get a bigger purse. Time to get
a bigger purse. What is that all about, Well, it
is of course about money, money, money, money, money, money, Yeah,
show me the money. Well, Notre Dame A party at one,
(25:10):
A party at one. They beat Penn State in the
Orange Bowl. They advanced to the National Championship Game. So
if you're keeping track at home or ork. With the victory,
the Fighting Irish have now increased their payout to twenty
million dollars.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Now, there is one hundred and sixteen million in college
football playoff bonus money up for grabs based on the
schools that get to the playoff how far they advance.
Notre Dame now is in the national championship game. So
the difference between Notre Dame and whether it's Ohio State
or Texas who will also get to the championship game,
they'll also get twenty million. They just have to share
(25:53):
it with all the other teams in their conference. Notre Dame.
They're the only child, right, And they're like, I would
have to share this. We're going to keep all of it.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
You doubt get any of it. It's all ours and
that's the way it is. So twenty million.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
They were up to fourteen million, and now they're at

When he came in to play, they used to do
the car wash. And now there's there's a player called

Speaker 6 (30:01):
Right?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, hour three hour?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
You know you remind me of remind me of Darryl Strawberry. Yeah,
maybe there's a famous story. Daryl Strawberry was playing I
think he played for the Giants or something like that, or.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
He was he played for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
He went to another team and there were a bunch
of fires in LA's back in the like the nineties,
and he said something like let it burn.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah that was his line, you know, yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Dude, yeah, so fah, but let me I wanted to
hear to say if I wanted to ask you something, because
I always like to know what's going on in your
head or how your mind works about things. Because I
was reading this article online it was like most kids
right now, they have this skewed way of how they
picture adulthood. So like, by like these these gen z's,
by the time they're like in their late thirties or
(30:44):
early forties, that's when they'll actually feel like adults. I
was already been When did you feel like you were
an actual, you know, feet on the floor, honest to
goodness adults? Because for me, it was when I bought
my first house, you know what I'm saying. I thirty one,
I bought it down. So when did you actually feel
like an adult in this world?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
So I know that's all, Well, that's a legit question,
and you're gonna ask me a goofy question, then you
know we'll have to hang out on you in a minute.
So I'll answer this question because it's a legit question.
So I didn't really feel like an adult until people
started dying in my life around like I thought, even
when I was like, you know, I was getting older,
but I didn't think anyone started losing people that you
grew up with, then you kind of feel Wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
And it's like it's like grown up stuff. You know,
that's like serious?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (31:29):
Yeah, yeah, Now Ben? Now Ben, you know I love bits, right, yeah,
you know I love this.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
So Ben, here we go. Get the dump button.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
We're grown up Ben and the people, but jumping Cooper?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
All right, Well, get that dumb button ready? Why not? Coop?
You want to play, Let's play the game. If you're excited,
do it. Here we go. Sounds excited.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Then the people works. I'm going to act Ben some
questions about Justin Cooper. Ben's going to get the answer
as Bess he feel, and Justin Cooper's gonna give the
correct answer as we go forward. So Ben, are you
ready to play? Ben up people?
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I can't wait, can't wait.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
This is exciting, all right, So let's get down to
the first question. So we don't Justin like smoking marijuana.
He he doesn't apologize for that, he doesn't deny it,
but I've always wondered, Uh, if we the strongest drug
Justin's ever taken, have you ever done anything harder than
we'd like?
Speaker 5 (32:27):
For me?
Speaker 8 (32:27):
Like the strongest truck? I think I was, like, I've done,
you know, cocaine once or twice before my life. That's
pretty damn good. But that's the strong's ever done. What
do you think the strongest drug Justin's ever done?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
All Right, so I know Justin loves you. Think he's
gonna admit to this. By the way, I think he
loves the weed. But I bet you at one point he.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Was at a poker party somewhere, you know, somewhere in
LA maybe the Hollywood Hills or something like that, and somebody,
somebody offered him something. He might have tried it. So
I think he has tried something a little higher up
on the big crack.
Speaker 8 (33:02):
Heroine.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Coke. Yeah, a little coke, A little coke. I don't know.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
Okay, what's up, Justin? What's the answer.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
I have tried harder things than marijuana.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
He's not gonna go specific, but so I do win
that real talk. I get that right, he got it right.
Speaker 8 (33:20):
Okay, question number.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Here we go. Get the dumb button.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Right, here, I'm on the okay, you're gonna do.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
Okay, so then you may not notice. But the act
of ghosting is to have sex or a sex relationship
with somebody and then when you feel that the relationship
is done, completely take them out of your life. No texting,
no calling, no nothing. So I'm gonna sit the under
over at four and a half. You think that in
Justin's dating life he's ghosted more or less than four
(33:49):
and a half girls after hooking up with them.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
You know what, I'm gonna go under? I don't know
just that. I think it's under.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I've only known him since he started working here, obviously,
so but I says i've known him.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
He's usually had a consistent lady friends. So I'm gonna
go under four and a half.
Speaker 8 (34:09):
What's up Justin?
Speaker 6 (34:09):
Under?
Speaker 8 (34:10):
Over?
Speaker 4 (34:11):
I have never done that before, so that would be
that would be under, that would be under, never done that.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
I win. I'm two for two. I've already I'm winning
the game. He's too much of a roll.
Speaker 8 (34:25):
Of too much trouble to go somewhere, all right, Okay,
so Ben, here we go. It's Justin a boob guy
or an ass man, and I know it I know
to answer this question if I want to see if
you know it? Boob guy are asking.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
How do you know the answer to this question?
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Because one time I told Justin was saying he's gonna
meet me up in Boston because he does the Blind
Scott And I was like, yo, Justin, I might take
you to a strip close. I know somewhere. I know
some there, but actually they just black girl is a
big ass?
Speaker 6 (34:53):

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Okay, So I think he's likes cabos. I think he's
going for the cabs.

as we've been mentioning most of the week, here we
(02:55):
begin here by mentioning our thoughts go out to those effected.
Here we do the show from La the fires. The
numbers are just mind boggling. It's an apocalyptic type situation here.
But our thoughts are with the first responders, those that
have been affected by the fires. Twenty nine thousand acres
at last report, fifty seven billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
In economic damage. I saw I was reridden somewhere.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
They said that the size of the fires in southern
California is the size of the entire city of San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It's it's wild. Our thoughts are there, But our job
is to do sports.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Very important work, right, very important work to talk about sports.
But our lead this hour is from South Florida, just
outside Miami, Miami, Miami, where weed Man Hippie, our caller
is looking for a new place to live.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
That was the stage, the grand stage.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Oh what a grand stage it was for the Orange Bowl,
the college football playoff semi final game, give me weight matchup.
There was bobbing, there was weaving between Penn State and
Notre Dame. Now, I don't know if you saw this game.
This was the it game of the Final four of
college football, but perhaps you missed it. You had something
(04:14):
else going on. Don't worry, we watch so you would
not have to. It's our active kindness of good midst
of the day.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It was a barn burner of a matchup.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
There were lead changes, there was drama, there were injuries,
and in the end it came down to a defensive
play for the fighting Irish, Notre Dame defensive back Christian
Gray getting her done as he picked off Penn State
quarterback Drew Aller his pass across the middle at the
(04:44):
Nitney Lions forty two yard line with thirty three seconds
left on the game clock.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
So a major turn events.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
The Irish thing got nineteen yards quickly on offense and
that set up a forty one yard field goal was
seven seconds left by someone named Mitch Jeter, not Derek,
but Mitch Jeter to win the game.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And he won the game.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night. So Notre Dame
fourteen and one. The Irish continue their magic carpet ride
the seven seed and they're into the first.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Twelve team college football playoff.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
They're into the championship and they will have a chance
to bring back the first title since nineteen eighty eight,
since nineteen eighty eight, and the game January twentieth coming
up here January twentieth in Atlanta, home of a great
airport there in Atlanta, against the winner of the game
(05:45):
that we played here on Friday night between the Longhorns
of Texas and the Ohio State buck guys who will
try to dot the I in the semi final in
the Cotton Bowl.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So a lot to talk about.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Better story, though, is in the losing locker room, So
we will start in the losing locker room because we
like the better story and it's really about one person,
and one person in particular as we discuss here, and
that is the quarterback for the Nittillions. Will Penn State
quarterback Drew Aller be haunted by this performance? So I've
(06:19):
got Altoid's underlying condition and swamp creature, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a nice tropical vacation which all these players
for Penn.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
State who are getting that big nil money can enjoy
a nice tropical vacation.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
So will Penn State quarterback Drew Aller be haunted by
this performance? That was the question, I'm not in my head.
Yes you can't see me, but I'm not. If you're
watching the YouTube channel, you can't see I'm not in
my head. Yes, right in the blink of an eye,
his story changed, his story change Now. He did the
thing you can't do at the time. You can't do it,
(07:02):
and there's no other way to say it. Right, the
game was in his hands now, not necessarily to win
the game, but just don't lose the game. And he
screwed up. And here is the man of the hour
facing the media. I give him credit. He didn't hide
like a coward. Who's your's Drew Aller talking about what
(07:23):
the heck went wrong?
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Yeah, I mean I was going through my progression, got
to the backside, and honestly, I was just trying to
dirt it at his feet. But just I should have
just thrown it away when I felt the first two
progressions not open, just because of the situation we were in.
But I was just trying to dirt it out of
Mary's feet. So but I'm just in to execute what
I was trying to.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Do that would be an understatement. So again, from.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Being at the very peak of all of college football,
everyone's talking about this guy and now he needs some altoids,
those Arctic peppermint breath mints because he's got dragon breath.
Interception aside, Like, that was a terrible play, and that
ended the game for Penn State. But he was bad
to the ball and throughout the game. If you were
(08:09):
watching twelve of twenty three, a little over fifty percent
completion rate, only one hundred and thirty five yards, passing
less than six yards per pass, mostly to running backs.
I don't even know if they completed a pass to
a wide receiver, one interception in a passer rating of fifty.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
One point one.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And so he was the duke, the Duke of Puke
in this game, and NFL scouts were salivating about the
ability of Alor before the game.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Possibly entering the NFL draft.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
He had announced already his intention to return to Happy
Valley in twenty twenty five for the next college football season,
but NFL scouts.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Were like, there's a chance now, even.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
With this public flatulence, even without going out there and
farting on the big stage.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Drew has the prototypical physical gifts. We're even with that.
He's still going to be fine down the line, but.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's it's one of those things where if he he
only gets so many chances in these type of games,
and if you have another bad one, then that becomes
your reputation. It's what you did last in these type
of games. And so he's got the powerful arm, which
is great, and the size, the prototypical size that the
NFL world wants, and the extends plays, and he can
be a pocket passer. He is a pocket passer and
(09:29):
all that, which is all which is all wonderful, But
you can't do what he did in that moment. It's
obvious now. James Franklin getting a lot of crap more
on him later in the hour, but here's a little
taste of his thoughts. The Penn State coach on the
Nitley Lions exiting college football's playoff stage left Egil.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
We're all hurting. You know, this ain't easy to get
in here right after the game and have a conversation
after you just poured your guts out on that field
and really did it all year long. So you know he'll.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Handle he'll handle it great.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
He'll be hurting tonight, and he'll be hurting tomorrow, and
he'll hurt a little bit less the next day, and.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So on and so forth.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
But he's a he's a committed guy that's going to
do it the right way.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And he said it.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
It may not feel like it right now, but he'll
learn from this and he'll be better for it, and
so will we.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Well, he kept saying he did not seeing the man's name.
He was talking about Drew Aller, his quarterback. There all
right now, turning the page. As for the fighting Irish,
a lot of chatter, a lot of chatter, some of
it was on the broadcast, that it's just different. There's
a different vibration around Notre Dame. And the question for
(10:46):
the esteem panel now that Notre Dame is going to
be playing for the National Championship, thumbs up or thumbs down?
Has coach Marcus Freeman made Notre Dame like Thumb's upper
thumbs down? So I'm gonna go thumbs down. Okay, I'm
going thumbs down here. Unpopular opinion. Let me tell you why.
(11:07):
It's not about James Franklin. It's not about the Irish players.
They come and go right they're not there for that long,
especially now with nil money. But when you look at
Notre Dame, the thing that makes them unlikable is the
underlying condition. Some people are annoyed by leperkauns. Other people
don't like the gold helmets right touchdown Jesus rubs people
the wrong way. The whole playing like a championship, you know,
(11:30):
playing like a champion thing that's annoying to some people.
The whole Irish mystique we're better than everybody, that's part
of it. And when you dig deeper, the thing that
I circled on my scorecard, the golden domers, insufferable fan
base that gets under everyone's skin, the entitled Notre Dame
fan that they're in the same class like Yankee fans,
(11:53):
Laker historians, Cowboys fans.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You know what I'm talking about. You feel with me
on that like the worst show.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
There's a famous quote by lew Holtz, and I'll probably
butcher it, but lou Holtz, when he was coaching at
Notre Dame, said, those who know Notre Dame, no explanation
is necessary, and for those who don't, no explanation will suffice,
which is about right right, which is about right and
because yeah, those that love Notre Dame, whether you were
(12:21):
raised into it because you're Catholic, or whether you just
love Notre Dame because they're on NBC every week and
all that you love them. And for those on the
other side of the aisle, it doesn't matter. It's like
Democrats and Republicans, right, you can't agree on anything. There's
no bite. Part is an issue all right? Now, last word,
So who smells the worst? Who smells the worst? From
(12:44):
Notre Dame's return to the pinnacle of college wo by
you probably said, well, James Franklin, Penn State Drew Aller
that interception. Now, bad job by you. The correct answer
would be four thousand dollars. About the swamp creature also
known as also known as LSU coach Brian Kelly.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
L stick out pe you what staks.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Let's go back on the hot top time machine the
Year of Our Lord twenty twenty two. On his way
out out of South Bend, Indiana, on his way to
to battl Rouge, Louisiana, Brian Kelly not only picked up
a Cajun accent, he also gave a body blow, body blow,
(13:35):
body blow to the Irish program. He said words that
are guaranteed to pop that cup, and they certainly did.
Brian Kelly said, quote, I want to be in an
environment where I have the resources to win a national championship,
and that is why Brian Kelly went to LSU. Since
(14:00):
Brian Kelly got to LSU, they have not made the
College Football Playoff, while Notre Dame will be.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Playing for the national championship.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
In a little less than two weeks and they will
have Ohio State in Texas. And ask for the question
of who you'd rather play if your Notre Dame, the
coward would say, we want to play Texas because they're
not as good, but the better story is Ohio State.
You'd want to play Ohio State because that's the better
(14:30):
team and that solidifies whatever this season is.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Whereas if you beat Texas.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
People will start picking apart your wins and say, well,
I don't know, you didn't play this team, you didn't
play that team, and so you take down Ohio State.
Ohio State is the top available option for Notre Dame,
and in all Midwestern matchup there.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It would be Ohio State and Notre Dame.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
But Texas will have a say in that that game,
of course being played.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Later on Friday night.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
It is the Ben Mallor Show. As we are just
beginning the all night red eye flight. I don't know
if you're gonna jump out of the plane with the
parachute early, but we will be here all night providing
you with marginal overnight sports talk radio.
Speaker 1 (15:19):

Game?

You can answer that on X at Ben Mallor next hour,
got Mallard of the third Degree. Later on the Riddle
of the Day, Big Man's Lame Jokes of the week.
We'll have the Coop Scoop on entertainment. That's down the line,
that's almost close to when we're preparing for landing and

right before we land the plane, Sports Jeopardy at the
(15:45):
very end there we were getting ready to wheels down,
getting ready to land the plane on the runway, and
we'll do a little sports jeopardy if.

Bill Miller here on this the Friday show Late Thy
out West, as we hang out together. This is the
part of the show where I remind you to interact
with the live broadcast. Your comments can and will be
used against you in the court of sports talk radio.
You can send your messages in on X message Ben
(17:18):

otherwise you're wasting your time. And Coop A Loop is
in the producer's chair at a Bronco fan along with Lorraine. Uh,
what are these snacks tonight? We'll find out in a minute.
But interact to the live overnight show, and you have
(17:39):
an advantage unlike the podcast listeners that can only listen.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Cannot interact back to it.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
We go, well, Bill, you didn't say my name, Bill,
and we're talking college football the rare and appropriate College
Football Hour as Notre Dame has moved on a late
interception setting up a field goal, and so the Fighting
Irish have a chance to win their first national championship
(18:06):
since Ronald Reagan was the president in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It was January of eighty eight. He left the White
House in January twelve.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
That game was played before then. So I, oh, thank you, Lorani.
I'm not a historian. I'm not a Laker person.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You know, I'm not that.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
And we have bad news to report here, but I'm
going to allow this. Normally I would not allow this
kind of thing. But we did hear from our friend
Cowboy Drew who says that he's lost our show. He's
over on coast to coast hearing like drone talk or
something like that. But he says he will return Cowboy Drew.
He'll check back in for jokes later on, so we'll
(18:50):
at least get him back.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
And as long as we get him.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
For two hours, I'm good with that. I'd rather have
him for all four, but as long as we get
two hours, we're happy about that.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Gunner, he's the influencer, works at the Walmart in northern Minnesota,
hours north of Duluth, like the real far pretty much
southern Canada, you know, Southern Canada. And Gunner says, bad
job by you. Notre Dame is likable, So right there,
(19:21):
you know that my take is right and Gunners takes
from whatever Gunner's take is. You want to be on
the opposite side of Gunner's take, He says, I don't
mind them, but I'm a Tar Heels fan and also
a Gophers fan. Yeah, a little odd there. It's an
odd mix North Carolina and Mina Solta. Shannon de Moinese
(19:44):
rites in along with his lady friend Kelly in the
Moines and says, what class between Notre Dame and Penn
State last night the kind of game that revives the
human spirit unless it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, yeah, it was. It was. The game was good.
I mean, I was one of the greatest game I've
ever seen, but it was didn't suck. I was engaged.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Penn State came out early on Notre Dames backup was
playing their backup quarterbacks playing for a stretch, and.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
The Irish came back and still end up winning.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Shane also says, congrats to your Rams on a postseason
berth in twenty twenty five. As a Seahawks fan, we
need to fire everyone in a in a suit, and
half the guys in uniform, especially the offensive line, blame
the fat guys winning. To out blame the fat guys,
they go DJ Spin aka Patrick in San Diego. I
(20:43):
like I've met Patrick Pator's been in studio before. The
fellow broadcast guy. He says, Benjamin, I'll be enjoying the
whole flight this evening morning working at the studio himself.
So he'll be in his studio and we're in our studio,
and the.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
World will go round, the world will go around. Ryan says,
today the NFL rammed it right up.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
The Rams blank stupid should have played the game in
San Diego.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Not Arizona. Yeah, oh, that would have been much more convenient.
But they're worried.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
The from what I understand the we'll talk about that
more next hour, but the NFL was worried, Well, what
if the fires break out in San Diego and we
can't move the game again. So we can only move
the game one time, so we figure like the cacti
and Phoenix aren't going to burn up.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
So we're pretty good there. Now, what they should have
really done.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I don't know what's going on in the stadium in Vegas,
but it would have been much more convenient. Vegas is
essentially a suburb of LA. A lot of the people
that have been chased out of their homes because of
the fires have just gone to Vegas to gamble, waiting
to get the green light to come home, hoping they
have something to come home to. But it's a little
bit of a longer track from LA to Phoenix, and
(21:58):
there's not much in between.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I've made the drive.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I've made the drive from LA to Phoenix many times.
Get out to Palm Springs, I have a nice meal there,
get out to the state line, and then there's nothing
from the California Arizona state line until you get in
to the Greater Phoenix area there is.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Don't lie then, No, there's lots of sand and dirt.
Have you made that drive before? Have you made the
trip over there, Lorena? Not all the way over there?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, you know, there's a different time zone. There's a
there's a Native American Indian reservation out there, and it's
a sovereign place.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
They have their own time zone. It's very bizarre.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I think it's that they're on California time while Arizona doesn't.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Arizona doesn't change time.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
So part of the year, Arizona's on Mountain time, and
so they're not on the same time zone. So like
it depends on what time the year you drive through there.
This part well, but because because you start out driving
in one time zone and then you're you know, for
a few miles you're in a different time zone and
then boom your back but you're in the same state.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
You're in the same state.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Jason in Kansas City, who hung out at the top
table at the Mallard Meet and greet, he was at
the big wigs table because Jason in Kansas City is
a big wig.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
When we were at the landing there eating.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
The Ben Maller chicken fingers, he says ten out of
ten on the Mallard monologue, Man, that was a great
college football game. But why did James Franklin decide? He says,
why did James Franklin decide to get aggressive late in
the game when Penn State was only one good had
only one good pass catcher. Yeah, well, it would have
(23:36):
been fine if they had actually made the play.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Obviously they did not make the play, and it.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Seems James Franklin thought he could catch Notre Dame by
surprise possibly and maybe make one play getting the field
goal range. Instead, there was one play and it got
it ended up getting Notre Dame in field goal range
and not Penn State.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
JD.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
And case Wright since says, I'm here again this morning, brother,
I'm driving through the blank, could heat blank Missouri or
weather the chief until the cast get drops, We'll be
careful out there, JD. In Casey, I have been texting
my radio, my radio homeboy, the Great Bob Fesco on
my radio Friends, and he was explaining how the weather
has been been brutal. They don't get a lot of
(24:17):
snow normally in Kansas City. But this has been a
bad week.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
A lot of a lot of terrible weather.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
And it's that time of the year. Yeah, there you go,
dread Pie says. It sounds like there's some turbulence to
start the show off. Hopefully you have a smooth flight
the rest of the way. Well, that's the that's the goal.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
The goal is to have that smooth, nice, smooth landing
and nothing to worry about. Just knock it out of
the park. It's the way to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
So time to get a bigger purse. Time to get
a bigger purse. What is that all about, Well, it
is of course about money, money, money, money, money, money, Yeah,
show me the money. Well, Notre Dame A party at one,
(25:10):
A party at one. They beat Penn State in the
Orange Bowl. They advanced to the National Championship Game. So
if you're keeping track at home or ork. With the victory,
the Fighting Irish have now increased their payout to twenty
million dollars.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Now, there is one hundred and sixteen million in college
football playoff bonus money up for grabs based on the
schools that get to the playoff how far they advance.
Notre Dame now is in the national championship game. So
the difference between Notre Dame and whether it's Ohio State
or Texas who will also get to the championship game,
they'll also get twenty million. They just have to share
(25:53):
it with all the other teams in their conference. Notre Dame.
They're the only child, right, And they're like, I would
have to share this. We're going to keep all of it.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
You doubt get any of it. It's all ours and
that's the way it is. So twenty million.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
They were up to fourteen million, and now they're at
twenty million for the fighting Irish twenty million, Wow, and
no sharing.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It's all their money.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
And really, when you think about programs that are hurting
for money, Notre Dame near the very top, right, Notre
Dame right near the top there, man, are they hurting
for money.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Let's go to the phones and.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Let's say hello to Enrique, who is hanging out and
he wants to yap about the.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
College football player. Hello, Enrique, welcome, thank.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
You, how you doing today? Sir?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
If I was any better, I'd be a Franklin, but
not James Franklin because Penn State lost.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
Right now, I want to say something. I had a
friend back in the day. His name is David.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Okay, congratulations.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I had a friend named David when I was a
kid too, Okay, And I want I did.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I did a podcast with a guy named David too
for a while.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Yeah. He went to Penn State University and we had
a dynasty in soccer, me and David, and we got David.
His nickname was David Oh because he was always all sides.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
It's a great nickname.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
That's a great names.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
One last thing, you know, Cadillac Anderson, right.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I do remember that basketball player right for the Spurs
back in the day, right when he.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
When he came in to play, they used to do
the car wash. And now there's there's a player called
Cunningham for the Pistons, and they should do the habitats
theme when he comes into the game. I think that'd
become interesting.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Man, you're a character. You need to call me more often.
What's your real what's your real name?
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Eric?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Eric? Why did you say Enrique when you called in?
Speaker 6 (27:55):
That's my nickname. They called me I Rockle Money.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
They call me I like I like E Rack I
think I Rock is better. Where are you at, by
the way, E Rocks, Where do you live? E Rock?

call me more often, he Rock. Those are amazing hot
takes about the show. Yeah, all right, then I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna leave, but thank you. It's amazing E Rock.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
He sounds just like a guy that used to call
the show. I don't know if it's the same guy,
but I recognized the vocal tones. And maybe it's just
a New York Long Island thing, but I did recognize
the vocal pattern. He reminds me of a guy that
called the show years ago. And yeah, yeah, yeah, that
was all planned out, Lorena.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
That was a plan call.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
He had everything planned out, kind of like Real Talk
always has everything planned out. Let's head now to almost
stay in New York. We'll go to the Big Apple again.
We'll say hello to Real Talk. Boom boom boom boom

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Hell, oh that's not right. How dare you?
Speaker 8 (29:58):
How dare you on the on the third hour?
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Right?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, hour three hour?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
You know you remind me of remind me of Darryl Strawberry. Yeah,
maybe there's a famous story. Daryl Strawberry was playing I
think he played for the Giants or something like that, or.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
He was he played for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
He went to another team and there were a bunch
of fires in LA's back in the like the nineties,
and he said something like let it burn.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah that was his line, you know, yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Dude, yeah, so fah, but let me I wanted to
hear to say if I wanted to ask you something, because
I always like to know what's going on in your
head or how your mind works about things. Because I
was reading this article online it was like most kids
right now, they have this skewed way of how they
picture adulthood. So like, by like these these gen z's,
by the time they're like in their late thirties or
(30:44):
early forties, that's when they'll actually feel like adults. I
was already been When did you feel like you were
an actual, you know, feet on the floor, honest to
goodness adults? Because for me, it was when I bought
my first house, you know what I'm saying. I thirty one,
I bought it down. So when did you actually feel
like an adult in this world?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
So I know that's all, Well, that's a legit question,
and you're gonna ask me a goofy question, then you
know we'll have to hang out on you in a minute.
So I'll answer this question because it's a legit question.
So I didn't really feel like an adult until people
started dying in my life around like I thought, even
when I was like, you know, I was getting older,
but I didn't think anyone started losing people that you
grew up with, then you kind of feel Wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
And it's like it's like grown up stuff. You know,
that's like serious?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (31:29):
Yeah, yeah, Now Ben? Now Ben, you know I love bits, right, yeah,
you know I love this.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
So Ben, here we go. Get the dump button.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
We're grown up Ben and the people, but jumping Cooper?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
All right, Well, get that dumb button ready? Why not? Coop?
You want to play, Let's play the game. If you're excited,
do it. Here we go. Sounds excited.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Then the people works. I'm going to act Ben some
questions about Justin Cooper. Ben's going to get the answer
as Bess he feel, and Justin Cooper's gonna give the
correct answer as we go forward. So Ben, are you
ready to play? Ben up people?
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I can't wait, can't wait.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
This is exciting, all right, So let's get down to
the first question. So we don't Justin like smoking marijuana.
He he doesn't apologize for that, he doesn't deny it,
but I've always wondered, Uh, if we the strongest drug
Justin's ever taken, have you ever done anything harder than
we'd like?
Speaker 5 (32:27):
For me?
Speaker 8 (32:27):
Like the strongest truck? I think I was, like, I've done,
you know, cocaine once or twice before my life. That's
pretty damn good. But that's the strong's ever done. What
do you think the strongest drug Justin's ever done?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
All Right, so I know Justin loves you. Think he's
gonna admit to this. By the way, I think he
loves the weed. But I bet you at one point he.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Was at a poker party somewhere, you know, somewhere in
LA maybe the Hollywood Hills or something like that, and somebody,
somebody offered him something. He might have tried it. So
I think he has tried something a little higher up
on the big crack.
Speaker 8 (33:02):
Heroine.
