Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome, it's our number one, our number one of the
original Recipe podcast. A very happy Wednesday to you. It
is no longer April Fools Day. It's April second now,
which is also a great day for fools.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
But here a hour number one.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
How do you decode Roger Goodell's messaging on the Toush Push.
We'll discuss the latest revelations in that story. Also does
the data backup Roger Goodell's claim the Toush push is
a dangerous play? And why is the NFL looking to
again put the kebash on those risque celebrations. We'll talk
(00:42):
about all that and more right now here. It is
our number one. Well, just say no to the tushy,
no touchy.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
In the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air mware old friends, as we
grunt by association based on the email I get. Many
of you are grunting right now, coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and bluntly powerful
(01:16):
microphones of fsre am monating live from the break as
we break the huddle, We're broadcasting live from the ti
Raq dot Com studios tyraq dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
We'll help you get therein.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection, and
over ten thousand recommended in stars tyraqt dot com. The
way tire bind should be another Bourbon Badger. He thinks
about about ten thousand times a day. He thinks about bourbon.
But he also loves loves tires. He loves bourbon and tires,
(01:52):
those two things which often don't go together, loves them
a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
So a lot, a lot going on here.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I thought the thing that stood out the most, that
I was most Joseph to talk about, was the Commissioner
of the NFL, Roger Goodell.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And that's our lead.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
We go to Palm Beach, the Breakers Resort in West
Palm Beach, Florida, one of the wealthier enclaves in the
United States.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They're a cheap room.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Cheap room at the Breakers Resort will cost you fifteen
hundred dollars a night, but good luck getting a room
at that price. So the NFL aristocrats were hanging out
having a grand old time, running up the bill on
the hotel and the room service and all that. And
there were some new developments on the play that I love.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
The most of the NFL. The touch bush.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yes, I try to say that word, that phrase as
much as I can. Touch bush, touch bush, touch bush,
touch touch tush. Try to say it as often as
I can. So anyway, I think you know by now,
if you pay attention to this stuff, you're listening to
a sports talk radio show at a time.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Most people are not.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
So I'm assuming you're aware that there's been a ground
swell of support started by the Green Bay Packers who
can't stop it, so they want to get rid of
the play, and there's been an effort to get rid
of the touch push. So the latest on this there
was supposed to be a vote, I say supposed to
be on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
There was no vote turns out in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Even though they had all this planned out and there
were things being bountied about, bounced around the world about oh,
this is going to happen, this is going to Everyone
had a theory on it, so they had it all
planned out.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
The NFL was going to.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Vote for the end of the Eagles signature play, the
short yardage play where it is almost unstoppable. However, instead
instead of having the vote, they decided to table the vote.
A fancy way of saying, we didn't have enough votes,
(03:54):
so we're not going to actually vote.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
We'll push it back. Push it back now.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Much like defenses can't stop and push back to touch push,
they have been able to successfully push back the vote
on the touch push that'll be back in May now.
The play was tremendously successful for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's been insane.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Twenty seven touchdowns and ninety two first downs gained in
the past three years on that one play. Twenty seven touchdowns,
ninety two total first downs over three years. You can
do the math on that. That's over thirty first downs
per year and a bunch of touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Per year as well.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
They scored eleven touchdowns on it with thirty two first
downs during the Super Bowl run, which was capped off
there in Louisiana back in February. So we are told
that the plan to outlaw, the plan to outlaw the play.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
They had a straw vote, which is not a real vote.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It was like a fake vote, and there were sick
sixteen votes sixteen NFL teams that said, okay, let's get
rid of it now. As you know, there are thirty
two teams. The by laws of the NFL. Oh yes,
the good old boys networked at the NFL. They say
you need a minimum of twenty four votes. So you
(05:20):
can see there's a problem with the electorate there. Now,
the topic is going to be revisited in May in
a hotel near an airport in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
That's where they're gonna get together the owners. Next.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Now, Roger Goodell, let's get to the meat of the matter.
So Roger Goodell, the commissioner a National Football League, he
got up to the dais and he ranted and he
claimed that he's concerned. He's he's got some issues with
the tushy pushy. Listen to the commissioner, Roger Goodell. Let's
(05:59):
go to the audio.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I think there are safety issues that are being considered
in that case. We have very little data from it,
but it's beyond data. There's also you know, there's the
mechanism of injury that we study, that type of thing
that leads us to show the risk involved with a
particular player, particular tackle. So those are things that we
(06:25):
did discuss. I do think there's a lot of discussion
about going back to the previous rule, back to two
thousand and four.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
All right, So Goodell. The key part of that was
the mechanism of injury. He used that phrase, which is bullshoy.
A lot of hot bullshoy is what that is? All right,
So let us discuss the question for the Esteem panel,
which you are part of. How do you decode what
you just heard Roger Goodell and his messaging on the
(06:56):
tush push? How do you decode the messaging on the touchbush.
So I've got ulysses as Grant, cherry picking and Popeyes,
but not the chicken. And we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make pop
Goes Louise all.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
That's where we're gonna pop Goes the Weasel.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So a the NFL, as we mentioned, they did this
little vote, but not a vote. Like it's kind of
like when you run for political office and you do
a survey of a sample of the electorate and you're like,
are we gonna win the election? Do we have enough votes?
(07:37):
It's that kind of thing, right, It's that deal. And
they were split down the middle, fifty to fifty, fifty
to fifty down the middle, split down party lines.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
And you said, well, it's not team Red team blue.
What are you talking about? Party lines, you're full of crap,
You're just a jerk.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Let me explain, all right, So you have teams that
have machism, that have balls, that want the play to
remain in the NFL, and they want to actually try
to stop the play. They want to figure out how
to stop the play. And then you have the other
side of the aisle, we'll call them the cowards, the
uh you know what, and they want it outlawed, they
(08:14):
want it reboting because they can't stop it. So if
you can't stop it, you got to get rid of it.
And that's that's the way it goes, right, And and so.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You break all of this down, right, you break all
of this down.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And Roger Goodell, even though he didn't step up and
actually say I hate the play, I don't want to play.
If you listen between the words of Roger Goodell, he
is firmly supporting the extermination of the Tush push. He's
anti Tush, doesn't like you can tell by the tone,
(08:49):
you can tell by the words. And so when I
hear what he said, and then the NFL knew they
didn't have enough votes, so they decided to table the
thing until May. What does that tell us well, that
tells me that Roger Goodell is going to go Ulysses
as Grant when he was the president back in the day,
and he's going to go to the Willard Hotel, which
(09:10):
is according to US history, it's probably bull crap, but
I heard the story years ago.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
So at the Willard.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Hotel in DC, the President would go there and he
might even been staying there, and he'd go into the
lobby and he'd smoke cigars and have cocktails, and so
people that were trying to get favor out of the
president would show up and have cigars and have drinks
(09:36):
with President Ulysses Aes Grant, and so they would all
hang out. And it was the term lobbyist was born.
So Roger Goodell is going to work as a lobbyist
to try to get eight teams to switch the vote
to get rid of.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
The tushy pushy.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So no more tushy now Page two here, So does
the data back up Roger Roger Gettell claimed that they
don't have enough of it, but they use some high
falutin words and all this to describe why he didn't
really think it's a great idea of the tush push
that it's a dangerous play.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
So it's a dangerous.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Play and they're talking about injury risk and all that.
So does the data back then? Oh and the answer
is no. I've been shaking my head. No, the NFL,
the only the league itself, the NFL itself.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Now you remember this, Sean McDermott came.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Out and the Bills coach is like, I don't think
it's a good planting, it's a dangerous play. The NFL,
the league media operation released data. This goes back a
couple of months that claimed its own internal information that
the numbers they keep track of showed that the tush
(10:55):
push during the twenty twenty four season resulted in zero injuries.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Bumpkis that's the league gets up.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Roger Goodell his operation said, no one got hurt on
the torch bush. Now, even if you think that's bull
crap and that a's raw and somebody got hurt, I
know somebody got hurt. Somebody had to get hurt, even
if you believe that it wasn't very many. And on
every single play, if people are trying, there's going to
(11:25):
be some risk of injury. And so what do you
think here? What do you think Goodell's going to do
in order to get those eight extra votes, Like, what's
the move here? If you're Rajah Goodell, you got to
come back at the next meeting with the owners and
you have to bring some information and try to sway
(11:46):
at least eight of the sixteen that are on the
other side.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
And so what is going to happen here? It's kind
of obvious. We see this a.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Lot in political theater and in many walks of life.
Saw this during the pandemic. Right, you just cook up
some numbers and say that's the way it is, and
a lot of people just believe you. So I would
imagine that Roger Goodell will have some high spin rate,
that's a baseball term, high spin rate, and he will
(12:15):
manipulate the data or someone.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Under him will manipulate the data to fit his argument.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Now, still might not work, that's not guaranteed it's going
to work, but the effort will be made.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
And it's called cherry picking.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
And you just do a little data dredging, that's another
way to describe it. And you selectively choose and manipulate
the information to support your argument. And then of course
you ignore or in the legal sense, you omit anything
that would contradict with your argument. All right, now the
(12:50):
last word, So the NFL, not only do you have
this toush push thing that got pushed back ironically, but
you also have Troy vince In, a former NFL player
who's now the executive muckety muck of football operations. I
think that's his unofficial title, the executive mucky Muck of
(13:11):
the NFL Football Operation. So Troy Vincent announced at the
West Palm Sore at the Breakers Resort. There, Troy Vincent
announced that the league will be cracking down on what
they say has been an increased amount of violent and
(13:32):
sexual celebrations. That's right that X. Nay on the sex
A and no on the violence. No, no fake guns,
no fake hand grenades.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
You can't be.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Pretending like you're making love to an imaginary person while
you're scoring a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You are no longer allowed to do that. Now. I
just mentioned cherry picking statistics, and the NFL is very
good at that.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Troy Vincent claimed that the NFL saw a one hundred
and thirty three percent increase on violent gestures in a
celebratory matter. And but wait, there's more, a fifty two
percent uptick in sexual taunting. That's right, sexual time, which
(14:23):
sounds like a kink that some of you might have, right,
it sounds like something you might have you don't want
to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I got all right.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
So why is the NFL looking to again put the
kebash on these type of celebrations? Remember for years it
was the no Fun League, and then they're like, we
gotta have fun. And now they've had fun, and now
they don't like having fun. So there's a phrase that
applies to if you give them an inchty'll take a mile.
(14:49):
So the owners are like, we don't really want these
players to celebrate the way they are, so we allowed
them to do it, and he took advantage of us,
and so now now we have to put.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Our foot down, right, we have to put our foot down.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
And the NFL owners they were a little soft, right,
almost mister softy, little soft situation there, uh, And and
now they're they're like, well, we got to go back
more to a hard line.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Like if you want to play patty cake, that's okay,
you can play patty cake.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And if you want to do a fake potato sack race,
that were probably pretty cool with that.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
But if you're I don't even know what I can
say and can't say.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
There's certain things that players have been doing the last
couple there's video clips of like highlight clips on social
media of some of the more outrageous celebrations. But it's
essentially like the players have watched a lot of pornub
and they want to recreate some of those classic scenes
on pornub in the end zone at Ford Field, right,
and they just want to there's a goal for it
(15:51):
and all that stuff. So of course the puritan the
puritan aristocrats.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Uh, the they're.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Going Popeyes, but not pop Eyes of the Chicken Place,
the going Popeyes. The sailor man, Yeah, they're la Hey,
that's all I can stand and I can't stands no more.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And so we'll see what this means.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But the stuffy rich guys who own these NFL teams
and they just they can't have the naughty activity, can't
have it all.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Right, if you would like to be part, we will
open up the.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Phone lines right now, you can join us. I want
to talk about any of this or something we should

to the Takarama. Oh yes, it is a tacarama. As
(19:07):
we discuss.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The new well not really new rule.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
There were some changes to the NFL, but the one
that didn't get changed yet is the tush push. As
the NFL deciding to push back the tush push. Ironically enough,
late night Drug Tester writes in and says, the tush
push is gone. Jalen Hurts is strong enough to get
the yardage without the help from his running backs pushing
(19:33):
his backside. Fergdog says, can we play the schedule game
with the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'm hearing more and more talk of.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
A perfect season, and I want to know if you
can find any losses on the schedule, if there are any.
And Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night There
seven and zero the Dodgers, the greatest LA Dodgers start
of all time, and they were down one nothing, Mookie
(20:04):
Betts butchering a ball in the infield, that shortstop, and
the Dodgers came back and won. Anyone beat the reigning
National League Cy Young winner, Chris Sale. So the Dodgers
will lose. They go to Philadelphia this weekend. They'll lose
one of those games in Philadelphia. How about that boom done?
How about Saturday the Dodgers will lose Saturday to the Phillies,
(20:25):
and that'll be their first loss of the year.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
They'll win Friday, lose Saturday.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Done, Supermarket Steve writes in he says, and whenever somebody
complains about celebrations in the NFL, all I can think
of is that lady who wrote to the newspaper as
she was offended by Cam Newton's chest puffs, pelvic thrusts,
and arrogance struts.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I used that line for a long time, as you know,
Supermarket Steve. This middle aged woman wrote to the newspaper
in Nashville, back when people used to read newspapers, and
complained that she was at a Titans Carolina game and
Cam Newton had pelvic thrust and arrogant struts and that
was very offensive and she was taken aback by that.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So she wrote a letter, an angry letter. Uh yeah
she did.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Let's see milkman.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Mike in Colorado writes and says, have you you have
a new song? Sent to the The Mala Show from
Jay Scoop and just Josh, hope you hope you like? Well,
we do have a new song. I don't think you've heard.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
The new song arena.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
But we have the new song and it's a I
sent it to Coop and I like it, so maybe
we'll play that.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
On Is it better than the original?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It's professionally done. I don't want to pooh pooh the
original because that's a classic. How about a rotation? We
could rotate mix and match here. We don't have to
just have one song. We could rotate from week to week,
right I suppose? Yeah, do you want to debut it
now or you want to Should we wait till later?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I don't know. Let's wait till the show is Wait,
the show's not starting. Well my show? Oh that's your show?
What did I go? How did I go out and
take a nap? How about that? I'll take a freaking nap?
Tarn it your show? Wow? Shots fired? All right?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
All the mail comes to her? So yeah, I know,
Well I did get I did get there. There's a path,
Well we got up. There's a pie. Yes, the pie
looks great. I just want to look at it. I
don't even want to eat it. I just want to
look at it. If it's so, it's so wonderful.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
It looks beautiful.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
And who do who do we need to think for
the pie who in Florida overnight at a pie from
Key West.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Right, this is a fresh Florida pie. Yes, the ice
is still frozen in the mo man, it's got the
just looks perfect. It's just the perfect pie. I'm going
to eat it.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
It's a wonderful pie. It's a magical pie. Anyway, So
we thank him for that. And then I have a
what's in the box. There's a box in the You're
going to open it at some point, At some point
when I get tired of talking to hollering James and
the other idiots that call, I'll probably open the box.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, And that's usually.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
What happened on Nature Boy says no sexy time celebrations,
who goofed?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I've got to know what else do we have about
Page Dan? See? Uh, I can't read that. Let's call
the phones.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Let's go now. It says he's in Ontario, in Canada.
And we say hello to Bubba, who's on the Ben
Malers Show, and he's got the radio. Oh he's in California.
I thought he said Canada. He's out in California.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
All right, Bubba, Yeah, what's up?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Are we bothering you? Bubba, what do we got going
on here? You get the radio up? Sure about that,
you're in your great stories.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
But about the pies, Oh.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, yeah, you ever had Florida key lime pie.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
I'm not a fan of ke Lin pie, more of like.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Apple Dutch with lo that's a traditional The apple Dutch
is a traditional pie.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
This is an exotic pie.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
And and once you've had it is' it's a it's
not your everyday pie. It's like a special pie. It's
for certain occasions kind of a pie, and it's great.
And we have a strawberry version that we have today,
so we're gonna have the strawberry. I've never had the
strawberry version. I know you're very concerned about my dietary habits, Bubba, Right.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Yeah, the strawberry will be a healthier fruit to eat.
If you're gonna eat pie, strawberry.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Is a way to go.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I disagree because it's covered in sugar, so it doesn't matter.
It gives you the illusion of being healthy, but really
there's like probably ten pounds of sugar in that thing.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
So anyway, you didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Call about that, Bubba, and I liked that the radios
turned all the way up in the background.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I love to hear myself in the background. Once on
your mind, Bubba, you're a speaker.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
But what's all in my mind is U the celebration
of the NFL. We remember when it used to be fun.
Like you said, it was a no fun league. And
I can understand that some people would get upset about
gesture is doing. It's one player doing that.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
You're like humping the round and.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Stuff like that. They do it, and they put a
whole scene together, and it's like, that's not football. If
you're going to celebrate, celebrate, right, you know, pick up
the football, do like a video camera if you run
a you know, half back dive and then and the
touch in the end zone.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Well, I think we need to bring back the Chicken dance.
I think we need the Chicken dance. One of my
favorite all time celebrations. That and then the problem is
when they started using props and then guys, they got
rid of that because Joe horned this guy for the Saints.
He had he had a cell phone he pulled out of.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
The That's probably the best one besides Cho Sinko line
dancing or putting on.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
The Hall of Fame or oh yeah, Hall of Fame.
How about the proposal he proposed to a cheerleader. Remember
that he proposed to a was was it a Bengals cheerleader?
I think it was a Bengals cheerleader.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
And then it was Remember when autograph he had a sharpie.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
He was playing for the forty nine ers too, had
a sharpie and he did about twenty something years ago,
and he scored a touchdown, he pulls out the sharpie
and autographed the ball.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
He was prepared.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
That's dedication. That's right, all right, and and uh and
several players have gotten in trouble in Dallas. T O
was the most famous where they went out to the
Star and they spiked and that's like, well they well
they remember they spiked this. You can't spike the star.
That's holy land. You are not allowed to spike the start.
(26:27):
If you do that, Uh, then you're gonna have held
the pay.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
So well, he was t O and young t O.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
And he was the number one receiver. Maybe maybe not
number one, but he was.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
He's a Hall of famer. Come on, not that he
went to the Hall of Fame, but he's he's a
Hall of Famer.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Yeah, because I'm a Green Bay fan, and that he
tore up Green Bay.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
And now you know as a Green Bay fan.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Now let me ask you about as a Green Bay
fan where you offended by the moon over Lambeau when
remember Joe Buck got so upset because Randy Moss did
a make moon to the Packer fans and Joe Buck
lost his mind?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Remember that?
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Yeah, I can't get mad at because Randy Moss just
caught everything pretty much very right. Two point zero.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
And there you go. All right, listen, Boba, Well, thank you,
call any time, Buba.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Doake dog.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Five? How are they not going to win the.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Champions Well, because past results do not guarantee your future outcomes, Charlie.
Just because you won a game by a lot doesn't
mean you have to you're to win the next game,
and and all that. Then the game I'm looking forward
to is you see Irvine versus Chattanooga and.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
The the ant Eaters.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
If you see Irvine versus Chattanooga, and that is on Thursday?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
And is that now? This is the n I t
is that the championship game of the N It is that? It?
Is that the final game? I don't know, but anyway, I.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Have some allegiance to the Anteaters. So I didn't go there,
but I grew up kind of near that that campus.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
So I looked at the bracket on the wall and
it does seem to be the championship.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
The ant Eaters can hang a banner, you see Irvine
if it can? Have you ever seen an antiator at
the zoo? I was at the San Diego Zoo a
few months ago. I saw the anteater, Charlie. You ever
seeing an ant eater Charlie in person?
Speaker 5 (31:09):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (31:10):
Trying to think if I've seen one of the new
weather Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
They're weird looking things.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Many like, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Really, they're like, wild, do you think anyone you're in
Texas you could probably have like a pet ant eater.
You're in Texas, probably could Well, it would be bizarre,
but you know you racked to your friends and your
buddies you got an ant eater, and people would be
impressed probably and be like, oh, eh, guy's got an
ant eater.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Not everyone's got an ant eater. Hey.

Speaker 6 (32:15):
Yes, I pick the Oklahoma City Thunder to win the
NBA Finals.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
You're gonna be very disappointed when that does not happen,
But that's all right. I like your optimism, Charlie, your
youthful optimism. Good luck with the school, Charlie. I gotta
go go away, said Charlie. He's addicted. He's a fan.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
I like him. Yeah, you know you start him young, Ben.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
He's growing on me. Well, we call that the developmental system.
That's the minor league system. That's the pipeline. That's the pipeline,
and multi generational pipeline. You start, you show me, and
then they grow up and they get about thirty, they
have the kids, and then in the next generation comes
along and you just keep the pipeline going.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I realized we're probably the adult swim of sports radio.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
To think about that, like Cartoon Network when it's done
going to the overnights.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Right, Well, it's a certain niche. Is that the term niche? Yeah? Yeah,
we have a niche.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Let's go to my lawyer. Bill's calling in from Korea
town here in La.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Hello. Bill, you're my lawyer. What's going on? Bill? Hi?
Speaker 5 (33:19):
Ben? How you doing?
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Man?
Speaker 5 (33:23):
I was just kind of touch base.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
It's you just wanted to say a lot bell. Do
you see this in the NFL?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
They added the AAFC records for the NFL, which means
the nineteen seventy two Miami Dolphins are no longer the
lone unbeaten team, because in nineteen forty eight, the Browns
were the first professional team to go undefeated. That's twenty
(33:55):
four years before the Miami Dolphins. So I'm sorry Mercury Morris,
who died he did not realize at the time of
his death he did not have the record. Yes, you're
you're you're making sounds there.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Bill, I already knew that, man, But.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Are you bragging? Are you bragging? Bill? No, I'm just
I'm just reading.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
I'm describing, really and nanny. There is also called an ardvark.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yes, I like I like Antie. The Ardvark's fine. If
you want to use the word ardvark, you can use
that the diet or six and oh that's a that's
bad information. There's seven and they won again. There's seven
and I know. Oh man, yeah, I got a fact check,
you dude, they.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
Might be eight.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
No tomorrow, Well, if they win tomorrow, they will be eight. No,
I can confirm they will be eight and O if
they win tomorrow. Yes.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
In regard to pies, you were talking about pie.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yes, I was doing a monologue on pie.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
My favorite pie is hair pie.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Okay, thank you, all right, go away.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Bell, We're all dumber there's there's b I don't think
you're getting a lot of that pie, but that's you know,
that's fine, all right.

with a creeping crud. So for those of us listening
to you as they hack, sweat, wheeze and sneeze, and
you will comfort them as Ben Malady. Ben Malady is
(37:19):
the name a lot of reaction to Charlie and people
saying there's gonna be a dueling battle of Charlie's. There's
Charlie in Minnesota who started calling he's in college, and
now you've got fourteen year old Charlie who's in Dallas.
So it's like Charlie on Charlie, two of the younger
listeners to the show that call the show, and they're
like duking it out, and then we should have an
(37:41):
octagon between the two of them. Midtim Fennis right, since says,
Charlie in Dallas is smart enough to listen to the
Ben Mahler Show and even call in that says something,
give the kid a break, Benny Blah fine Gummy Davis's homeschool.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
One more thing, that's he's talking about the great romo
sexual from back in the day.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Who else do we have? Page Dan I can't read that.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Let's say here, all right, let's pay off the who
am I?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Game?
Speaker 2 (38:45):
And this is where we pretend to be somebody else,
as we call the who am I gaming? Blatant attempt
to get you to listen a little bit longer, And
here it is. Gino Suarez joined Ridolfo Castro of the
twenty twenty one Pirates as the only players whose first
five hits of the season. We're all homers since nineteen hundred,
(39:06):
Fat Daddy, says Fidel Castro and eaters guessed.
Speaker 1 (39:09):

Great Rob Deer Ti your legend Brewers legend Rob Deer
is the answer.
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome, it's our number one, our number one of the
original Recipe podcast. A very happy Wednesday to you. It
is no longer April Fools Day. It's April second now,
which is also a great day for fools.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
But here a hour number one.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
How do you decode Roger Goodell's messaging on the Toush Push.
We'll discuss the latest revelations in that story. Also does
the data backup Roger Goodell's claim the Toush push is
a dangerous play? And why is the NFL looking to
again put the kebash on those risque celebrations. We'll talk
(00:42):
about all that and more right now here. It is
our number one. Well, just say no to the tushy,
no touchy.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
In the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air mware old friends, as we
grunt by association based on the email I get. Many
of you are grunting right now, coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and bluntly powerful
(01:16):
microphones of fsre am monating live from the break as
we break the huddle, We're broadcasting live from the ti
Raq dot Com studios tyraq dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
We'll help you get therein.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection, and
over ten thousand recommended in stars tyraqt dot com. The
way tire bind should be another Bourbon Badger. He thinks
about about ten thousand times a day. He thinks about bourbon.
But he also loves loves tires. He loves bourbon and tires,
(01:52):
those two things which often don't go together, loves them
a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
So a lot, a lot going on here.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I thought the thing that stood out the most, that
I was most Joseph to talk about, was the Commissioner
of the NFL, Roger Goodell.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And that's our lead.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
We go to Palm Beach, the Breakers Resort in West
Palm Beach, Florida, one of the wealthier enclaves in the
United States.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They're a cheap room.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Cheap room at the Breakers Resort will cost you fifteen
hundred dollars a night, but good luck getting a room
at that price. So the NFL aristocrats were hanging out
having a grand old time, running up the bill on
the hotel and the room service and all that. And
there were some new developments on the play that I love.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
The most of the NFL. The touch bush.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yes, I try to say that word, that phrase as
much as I can. Touch bush, touch bush, touch bush,
touch touch tush. Try to say it as often as
I can. So anyway, I think you know by now,
if you pay attention to this stuff, you're listening to
a sports talk radio show at a time.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Most people are not.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
So I'm assuming you're aware that there's been a ground
swell of support started by the Green Bay Packers who
can't stop it, so they want to get rid of
the play, and there's been an effort to get rid
of the touch push. So the latest on this there
was supposed to be a vote, I say supposed to
be on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
There was no vote turns out in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Even though they had all this planned out and there
were things being bountied about, bounced around the world about oh,
this is going to happen, this is going to Everyone
had a theory on it, so they had it all
planned out.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
The NFL was going to.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Vote for the end of the Eagles signature play, the
short yardage play where it is almost unstoppable. However, instead
instead of having the vote, they decided to table the vote.
A fancy way of saying, we didn't have enough votes,
(03:54):
so we're not going to actually vote.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
We'll push it back. Push it back now.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Much like defenses can't stop and push back to touch push,
they have been able to successfully push back the vote
on the touch push that'll be back in May now.
The play was tremendously successful for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's been insane.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Twenty seven touchdowns and ninety two first downs gained in
the past three years on that one play. Twenty seven touchdowns,
ninety two total first downs over three years. You can
do the math on that. That's over thirty first downs
per year and a bunch of touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Per year as well.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
They scored eleven touchdowns on it with thirty two first
downs during the Super Bowl run, which was capped off
there in Louisiana back in February. So we are told
that the plan to outlaw, the plan to outlaw the play.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
They had a straw vote, which is not a real vote.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It was like a fake vote, and there were sick
sixteen votes sixteen NFL teams that said, okay, let's get
rid of it now. As you know, there are thirty
two teams. The by laws of the NFL. Oh yes,
the good old boys networked at the NFL. They say
you need a minimum of twenty four votes. So you
(05:20):
can see there's a problem with the electorate there. Now,
the topic is going to be revisited in May in
a hotel near an airport in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
That's where they're gonna get together the owners. Next.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Now, Roger Goodell, let's get to the meat of the matter.
So Roger Goodell, the commissioner a National Football League, he
got up to the dais and he ranted and he
claimed that he's concerned. He's he's got some issues with
the tushy pushy. Listen to the commissioner, Roger Goodell. Let's
(05:59):
go to the audio.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I think there are safety issues that are being considered
in that case. We have very little data from it,
but it's beyond data. There's also you know, there's the
mechanism of injury that we study, that type of thing
that leads us to show the risk involved with a
particular player, particular tackle. So those are things that we
(06:25):
did discuss. I do think there's a lot of discussion
about going back to the previous rule, back to two
thousand and four.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
All right, So Goodell. The key part of that was
the mechanism of injury. He used that phrase, which is bullshoy.
A lot of hot bullshoy is what that is? All right,
So let us discuss the question for the Esteem panel,
which you are part of. How do you decode what
you just heard Roger Goodell and his messaging on the
(06:56):
tush push? How do you decode the messaging on the touchbush.
So I've got ulysses as Grant, cherry picking and Popeyes,
but not the chicken. And we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make pop
Goes Louise all.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
That's where we're gonna pop Goes the Weasel.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So a the NFL, as we mentioned, they did this
little vote, but not a vote. Like it's kind of
like when you run for political office and you do
a survey of a sample of the electorate and you're like,
are we gonna win the election? Do we have enough votes?
(07:37):
It's that kind of thing, right, It's that deal. And
they were split down the middle, fifty to fifty, fifty
to fifty down the middle, split down party lines.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
And you said, well, it's not team Red team blue.
What are you talking about? Party lines, you're full of crap,
You're just a jerk.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Let me explain, all right, So you have teams that
have machism, that have balls, that want the play to
remain in the NFL, and they want to actually try
to stop the play. They want to figure out how
to stop the play. And then you have the other
side of the aisle, we'll call them the cowards, the
uh you know what, and they want it outlawed, they
(08:14):
want it reboting because they can't stop it. So if
you can't stop it, you got to get rid of it.
And that's that's the way it goes, right, And and so.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You break all of this down, right, you break all
of this down.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And Roger Goodell, even though he didn't step up and
actually say I hate the play, I don't want to play.
If you listen between the words of Roger Goodell, he
is firmly supporting the extermination of the Tush push. He's
anti Tush, doesn't like you can tell by the tone,
(08:49):
you can tell by the words. And so when I
hear what he said, and then the NFL knew they
didn't have enough votes, so they decided to table the
thing until May. What does that tell us well, that
tells me that Roger Goodell is going to go Ulysses
as Grant when he was the president back in the day,
and he's going to go to the Willard Hotel, which
(09:10):
is according to US history, it's probably bull crap, but
I heard the story years ago.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
So at the Willard.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Hotel in DC, the President would go there and he
might even been staying there, and he'd go into the
lobby and he'd smoke cigars and have cocktails, and so
people that were trying to get favor out of the
president would show up and have cigars and have drinks
(09:36):
with President Ulysses Aes Grant, and so they would all
hang out. And it was the term lobbyist was born.
So Roger Goodell is going to work as a lobbyist
to try to get eight teams to switch the vote
to get rid of.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
The tushy pushy.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So no more tushy now Page two here, So does
the data back up Roger Roger Gettell claimed that they
don't have enough of it, but they use some high
falutin words and all this to describe why he didn't
really think it's a great idea of the tush push
that it's a dangerous play.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
So it's a dangerous.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Play and they're talking about injury risk and all that.
So does the data back then? Oh and the answer
is no. I've been shaking my head. No, the NFL,
the only the league itself, the NFL itself.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Now you remember this, Sean McDermott came.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Out and the Bills coach is like, I don't think
it's a good planting, it's a dangerous play. The NFL,
the league media operation released data. This goes back a
couple of months that claimed its own internal information that
the numbers they keep track of showed that the tush
(10:55):
push during the twenty twenty four season resulted in zero injuries.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Bumpkis that's the league gets up.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Roger Goodell his operation said, no one got hurt on
the torch bush. Now, even if you think that's bull
crap and that a's raw and somebody got hurt, I
know somebody got hurt. Somebody had to get hurt, even
if you believe that it wasn't very many. And on
every single play, if people are trying, there's going to
(11:25):
be some risk of injury. And so what do you
think here? What do you think Goodell's going to do
in order to get those eight extra votes, Like, what's
the move here? If you're Rajah Goodell, you got to
come back at the next meeting with the owners and
you have to bring some information and try to sway
(11:46):
at least eight of the sixteen that are on the
other side.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
And so what is going to happen here? It's kind
of obvious. We see this a.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Lot in political theater and in many walks of life.
Saw this during the pandemic. Right, you just cook up
some numbers and say that's the way it is, and
a lot of people just believe you. So I would
imagine that Roger Goodell will have some high spin rate,
that's a baseball term, high spin rate, and he will
(12:15):
manipulate the data or someone.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Under him will manipulate the data to fit his argument.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Now, still might not work, that's not guaranteed it's going
to work, but the effort will be made.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
And it's called cherry picking.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
And you just do a little data dredging, that's another
way to describe it. And you selectively choose and manipulate
the information to support your argument. And then of course
you ignore or in the legal sense, you omit anything
that would contradict with your argument. All right, now the
(12:50):
last word, So the NFL, not only do you have
this toush push thing that got pushed back ironically, but
you also have Troy vince In, a former NFL player
who's now the executive muckety muck of football operations. I
think that's his unofficial title, the executive mucky Muck of
(13:11):
the NFL Football Operation. So Troy Vincent announced at the
West Palm Sore at the Breakers Resort. There, Troy Vincent
announced that the league will be cracking down on what
they say has been an increased amount of violent and
(13:32):
sexual celebrations. That's right that X. Nay on the sex
A and no on the violence. No, no fake guns,
no fake hand grenades.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
You can't be.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Pretending like you're making love to an imaginary person while
you're scoring a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You are no longer allowed to do that. Now. I
just mentioned cherry picking statistics, and the NFL is very
good at that.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Troy Vincent claimed that the NFL saw a one hundred
and thirty three percent increase on violent gestures in a
celebratory matter. And but wait, there's more, a fifty two
percent uptick in sexual taunting. That's right, sexual time, which
(14:23):
sounds like a kink that some of you might have, right,
it sounds like something you might have you don't want
to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I got all right.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
So why is the NFL looking to again put the
kebash on these type of celebrations? Remember for years it
was the no Fun League, and then they're like, we
gotta have fun. And now they've had fun, and now
they don't like having fun. So there's a phrase that
applies to if you give them an inchty'll take a mile.
(14:49):
So the owners are like, we don't really want these
players to celebrate the way they are, so we allowed
them to do it, and he took advantage of us,
and so now now we have to put.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Our foot down, right, we have to put our foot down.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
And the NFL owners they were a little soft, right,
almost mister softy, little soft situation there, uh, And and
now they're they're like, well, we got to go back
more to a hard line.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Like if you want to play patty cake, that's okay,
you can play patty cake.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And if you want to do a fake potato sack race,
that were probably pretty cool with that.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
But if you're I don't even know what I can
say and can't say.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
There's certain things that players have been doing the last
couple there's video clips of like highlight clips on social
media of some of the more outrageous celebrations. But it's
essentially like the players have watched a lot of pornub
and they want to recreate some of those classic scenes
on pornub in the end zone at Ford Field, right,
and they just want to there's a goal for it
(15:51):
and all that stuff. So of course the puritan the
puritan aristocrats.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Uh, the they're.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Going Popeyes, but not pop Eyes of the Chicken Place,
the going Popeyes. The sailor man, Yeah, they're la Hey,
that's all I can stand and I can't stands no more.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And so we'll see what this means.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But the stuffy rich guys who own these NFL teams
and they just they can't have the naughty activity, can't
have it all.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Right, if you would like to be part, we will
open up the.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Phone lines right now, you can join us. I want
to talk about any of this or something we should
have talked about we did not talk about. We had
a couple of historical performances regular season NBA that didn't.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Really get me all excited.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
But if you're into that kind of thing, if you
would like to be part, you can join us right
now eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight
seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (16:43):

the NFL is rewriting the record books? Not that any
(17:28):
records have been broken. The NFL has just decided to
do a rewrite on the history book of football.

We'll get to that and we will do it next.

to the Takarama. Oh yes, it is a tacarama. As
(19:07):
we discuss.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The new well not really new rule.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
There were some changes to the NFL, but the one
that didn't get changed yet is the tush push. As
the NFL deciding to push back the tush push. Ironically enough,
late night Drug Tester writes in and says, the tush
push is gone. Jalen Hurts is strong enough to get
the yardage without the help from his running backs pushing
(19:33):
his backside. Fergdog says, can we play the schedule game
with the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'm hearing more and more talk of.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
A perfect season, and I want to know if you
can find any losses on the schedule, if there are any.
And Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night There
seven and zero the Dodgers, the greatest LA Dodgers start
of all time, and they were down one nothing, Mookie
(20:04):
Betts butchering a ball in the infield, that shortstop, and
the Dodgers came back and won. Anyone beat the reigning
National League Cy Young winner, Chris Sale. So the Dodgers
will lose. They go to Philadelphia this weekend. They'll lose
one of those games in Philadelphia. How about that boom done?
How about Saturday the Dodgers will lose Saturday to the Phillies,
(20:25):
and that'll be their first loss of the year.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
They'll win Friday, lose Saturday.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Done, Supermarket Steve writes in he says, and whenever somebody
complains about celebrations in the NFL, all I can think
of is that lady who wrote to the newspaper as
she was offended by Cam Newton's chest puffs, pelvic thrusts,
and arrogance struts.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I used that line for a long time, as you know,
Supermarket Steve. This middle aged woman wrote to the newspaper
in Nashville, back when people used to read newspapers, and
complained that she was at a Titans Carolina game and
Cam Newton had pelvic thrust and arrogant struts and that
was very offensive and she was taken aback by that.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So she wrote a letter, an angry letter. Uh yeah
she did.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Let's see milkman.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Mike in Colorado writes and says, have you you have
a new song? Sent to the The Mala Show from
Jay Scoop and just Josh, hope you hope you like? Well,
we do have a new song. I don't think you've heard.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
The new song arena.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
But we have the new song and it's a I
sent it to Coop and I like it, so maybe
we'll play that.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
On Is it better than the original?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It's professionally done. I don't want to pooh pooh the
original because that's a classic. How about a rotation? We
could rotate mix and match here. We don't have to
just have one song. We could rotate from week to week,
right I suppose? Yeah, do you want to debut it
now or you want to Should we wait till later?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I don't know. Let's wait till the show is Wait,
the show's not starting. Well my show? Oh that's your show?
What did I go? How did I go out and
take a nap? How about that? I'll take a freaking nap?
Tarn it your show? Wow? Shots fired? All right?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
All the mail comes to her? So yeah, I know,
Well I did get I did get there. There's a path,
Well we got up. There's a pie. Yes, the pie
looks great. I just want to look at it. I
don't even want to eat it. I just want to
look at it. If it's so, it's so wonderful.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
It looks beautiful.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
And who do who do we need to think for
the pie who in Florida overnight at a pie from
Key West.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Right, this is a fresh Florida pie. Yes, the ice
is still frozen in the mo man, it's got the
just looks perfect. It's just the perfect pie. I'm going
to eat it.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
It's a wonderful pie. It's a magical pie. Anyway, So
we thank him for that. And then I have a
what's in the box. There's a box in the You're
going to open it at some point, At some point
when I get tired of talking to hollering James and
the other idiots that call, I'll probably open the box.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, And that's usually.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
What happened on Nature Boy says no sexy time celebrations,
who goofed?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I've got to know what else do we have about
Page Dan? See? Uh, I can't read that. Let's call
the phones.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Let's go now. It says he's in Ontario, in Canada.
And we say hello to Bubba, who's on the Ben
Malers Show, and he's got the radio. Oh he's in California.
I thought he said Canada. He's out in California.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
All right, Bubba, Yeah, what's up?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Are we bothering you? Bubba, what do we got going
on here? You get the radio up? Sure about that,
you're in your great stories.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
But about the pies, Oh.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, yeah, you ever had Florida key lime pie.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
I'm not a fan of ke Lin pie, more of like.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Apple Dutch with lo that's a traditional The apple Dutch
is a traditional pie.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
This is an exotic pie.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
And and once you've had it is' it's a it's
not your everyday pie. It's like a special pie. It's
for certain occasions kind of a pie, and it's great.
And we have a strawberry version that we have today,
so we're gonna have the strawberry. I've never had the
strawberry version. I know you're very concerned about my dietary habits, Bubba, Right.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Yeah, the strawberry will be a healthier fruit to eat.
If you're gonna eat pie, strawberry.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Is a way to go.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I disagree because it's covered in sugar, so it doesn't matter.
It gives you the illusion of being healthy, but really
there's like probably ten pounds of sugar in that thing.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
So anyway, you didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Call about that, Bubba, and I liked that the radios
turned all the way up in the background.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I love to hear myself in the background. Once on
your mind, Bubba, you're a speaker.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
But what's all in my mind is U the celebration
of the NFL. We remember when it used to be fun.
Like you said, it was a no fun league. And
I can understand that some people would get upset about
gesture is doing. It's one player doing that.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
You're like humping the round and.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Stuff like that. They do it, and they put a
whole scene together, and it's like, that's not football. If
you're going to celebrate, celebrate, right, you know, pick up
the football, do like a video camera if you run
a you know, half back dive and then and the
touch in the end zone.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Well, I think we need to bring back the Chicken dance.
I think we need the Chicken dance. One of my
favorite all time celebrations. That and then the problem is
when they started using props and then guys, they got
rid of that because Joe horned this guy for the Saints.
He had he had a cell phone he pulled out of.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
The That's probably the best one besides Cho Sinko line
dancing or putting on.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
The Hall of Fame or oh yeah, Hall of Fame.
How about the proposal he proposed to a cheerleader. Remember
that he proposed to a was was it a Bengals cheerleader?
I think it was a Bengals cheerleader.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
And then it was Remember when autograph he had a sharpie.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
He was playing for the forty nine ers too, had
a sharpie and he did about twenty something years ago,
and he scored a touchdown, he pulls out the sharpie
and autographed the ball.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
He was prepared.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
That's dedication. That's right, all right, and and uh and
several players have gotten in trouble in Dallas. T O
was the most famous where they went out to the
Star and they spiked and that's like, well they well
they remember they spiked this. You can't spike the star.
That's holy land. You are not allowed to spike the start.
(26:27):
If you do that, Uh, then you're gonna have held
the pay.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
So well, he was t O and young t O.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
And he was the number one receiver. Maybe maybe not
number one, but he was.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
He's a Hall of famer. Come on, not that he
went to the Hall of Fame, but he's he's a
Hall of Famer.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Yeah, because I'm a Green Bay fan, and that he
tore up Green Bay.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
And now you know as a Green Bay fan.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Now let me ask you about as a Green Bay
fan where you offended by the moon over Lambeau when
remember Joe Buck got so upset because Randy Moss did
a make moon to the Packer fans and Joe Buck
lost his mind?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Remember that?
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Yeah, I can't get mad at because Randy Moss just
caught everything pretty much very right. Two point zero.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
And there you go. All right, listen, Boba, Well, thank you,
call any time, Buba.
Speaker 2 (27:16):

Five? How are they not going to win the.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Champions Well, because past results do not guarantee your future outcomes, Charlie.
Just because you won a game by a lot doesn't
mean you have to you're to win the next game,
and and all that. Then the game I'm looking forward
to is you see Irvine versus Chattanooga and.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
The the ant Eaters.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
If you see Irvine versus Chattanooga, and that is on Thursday?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
And is that now? This is the n I t
is that the championship game of the N It is that? It?
Is that the final game? I don't know, but anyway, I.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Have some allegiance to the Anteaters. So I didn't go there,
but I grew up kind of near that that campus.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
So I looked at the bracket on the wall and
it does seem to be the championship.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
The ant Eaters can hang a banner, you see Irvine
if it can? Have you ever seen an antiator at

Texas you could probably have like a pet ant eater.
You're in Texas, probably could Well, it would be bizarre,
but you know you racked to your friends and your
buddies you got an ant eater, and people would be
impressed probably and be like, oh, eh, guy's got an

go go away, said Charlie. He's addicted. He's a fan.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
I like him. Yeah, you know you start him young, Ben.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
He's growing on me. Well, we call that the developmental system.
That's the minor league system. That's the pipeline. That's the pipeline,
and multi generational pipeline. You start, you show me, and
then they grow up and they get about thirty, they
have the kids, and then in the next generation comes
along and you just keep the pipeline going.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I realized we're probably the adult swim of sports radio.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
To think about that, like Cartoon Network when it's done
going to the overnights.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Right, Well, it's a certain niche. Is that the term niche? Yeah? Yeah,
we have a niche.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Let's go to my lawyer. Bill's calling in from Korea
town here in La.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Hello. Bill, you're my lawyer. What's going on? Bill? Hi?
Speaker 5 (33:19):
Ben? How you doing?
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Man?
Speaker 5 (33:23):
I was just kind of touch base.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
It's you just wanted to say a lot bell. Do
you see this in the NFL?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
They added the AAFC records for the NFL, which means
the nineteen seventy two Miami Dolphins are no longer the
lone unbeaten team, because in nineteen forty eight, the Browns
were the first professional team to go undefeated. That's twenty
(33:55):
four years before the Miami Dolphins. So I'm sorry Mercury Morris,
who died he did not realize at the time of
his death he did not have the record. Yes, you're
you're you're making sounds there.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Bill, I already knew that, man, But.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Are you bragging? Are you bragging? Bill? No, I'm just
I'm just reading.

you want to use the word ardvark, you can use
that the diet or six and oh that's a that's
bad information. There's seven and they won again. There's seven
and I know. Oh man, yeah, I got a fact check,
you dude, they.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
Might be eight.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
No tomorrow, Well, if they win tomorrow, they will be eight. No,
I can confirm they will be eight and O if
they win tomorrow. Yes.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
In regard to pies, you were talking about pie.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yes, I was doing a monologue on pie.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
My favorite pie is hair pie.

Okay, thank you, all right, go away.

you will comfort them as Ben Malady. Ben Malady is

saying there's gonna be a dueling battle of Charlie's. There's
Charlie in Minnesota who started calling he's in college, and
now you've got fourteen year old Charlie who's in Dallas.
So it's like Charlie on Charlie, two of the younger
listeners to the show that call the show, and they're
like duking it out, and then we should have an
