The ex stealer wide receiver sound to you. We'll get
some details to you on that. Also, the NFL has
admitted it quote probably has to adjust following Joe Burrows's
(00:22):
schedule complaint. What's your reaction to this news and veteran
wide receiver Brandon Cooks says, the quarterback battle in the
Bayou between Tyler Shuck and Spencer Rattler is quote going
to be fun to.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Watch your thoughts.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
We'll talk about all of that and who knows what
else right now, buckle up for our number two.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Well, that is very jerry of you.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahler Show.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
We are in the Are Everywhere It Consortium, as we
know the power of Surprise coast coast border, the motor
and beyond on the vast and blaringly powerful microphones of
fsre emminating live.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
From the roller, the roller, the steamroller right around the
radio dial as we were hanging out here at the
Fox Sports Radio studios in this hour made possible in
part by tire rack. Over forty years, ti Raq has
been helping customers from the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and freeback by free
(01:42):
road hazard protection approved by Jimmy from Marino Valley, with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire raq dot
Com the way tire buying should be and approved also
by Ferdock.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So our lead this hour play the hit small man,
play the hits.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
We'll go to Jerry's world, will start out in Jerry's
world now when in doubt, the star will fill up
the content kitty. And yet again here we are holiday
weekend and tetah.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Oops it happened again. Oops it happened again. Some more
chatter about the relationship between wide receiver George Pickens, who
was decommissioned thrown overboard by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and how
he fits in with the Cowboys in Dallas the X
(02:36):
Steeler pass catcher now part of Jerry's universe, and how's
that going? Well, I hadn't played a game yet, so
it's fine. I hadn't played a game yet. Everything's great.
They are planting stories in the media that he's been
a model teammate everything is wonderful. Blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
There was one a dendum to this that I thought
is worthy of some talk, and I don't know if
you saw it or not.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It happened recently.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
The word on the street out of the Dallas area
is that not only is Dak Prescott planning on helping
out here, but Jerry Jones, that Dak Prescott and Jerry
Jones both are going to shield George Pickens from the criticism.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, So that's fine, you expect them to help out.
There's been some chatter that they're even going to be
calling on the media in Dallas to back off criticism
of George Pickens to allow him.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
To grow to blossom like a flower.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So let us discuss the question, how does the Cowboys
plan to protect wide receiver George Pickens?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Sound to you?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So, I've got handholding, lobster, and flight school, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to drive away in a station wagon. Now, they
when was the last time they made a station wagon?
They don't make those anyway, haven't made those in thirty
years at least Why did they stop making the station wagon?
(04:13):
Would anyone buy the station wagon if they had? I
know it was replaced by the minivan, but and then
the suv. But if they had the station wagon, I
know those people collect them. Why don't they make him
any things that make you go?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
To get to the point, how does the Cowboys plan
to protect wide receiver?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
George Pickens? Sound you so?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Number said number? Jerry Jones has decided to use a
carbon copy. Now I would say he would have used
a laser printer to recreate this, But it's Jerry, So
he's using a carbon copy of Cowboys Season gone by.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And you might.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Remember the famous stories that are part of Internet lore
that does Bryan famously had a babysitter. He was on
the knucklehead spectrum, and so in an effort to fully monetize,
fully monetize his performance, the legend of the Internet is
Jerry Jones hired a round the clock babysitter to keep
(05:16):
des Bryant's nose clean. Now, whether that's true or not
is open for debate. However, it is not open for
debate that Jerry Jones will do whatever he has to
do in terms of taking a diminished asset and trying
to get that diminished asset squeeze some extra toothpaste out
of the tube beer. And that sounds like things are
(05:38):
not that extreme with George Pickens. And nevertheless, I would
file the information that we have.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I would file this under the over.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Protective handholding category, right, Like, what do we do? Like
Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott, how's this gonna work? Like
they're gonna play big bra they're here, and you like,
put up what they're gonna put up a human firewall
around George Pickens locker spoiler alert, spoiler alert. It ain't
(06:10):
gonna work, dude, It's not gonna work. This is the
the NFL. You're not on the playground at elementary school.
You're not doing recess. You're not on the swing set.
You're you're not playing hopscotch, You're not playing you know whatever.
You just it's not gonna work. You play for the
Dallas Cowboys. The Steelers have a lot of media. The
Steelers are a high profile profile team. They have a
national following the Dallas Cowboys. They make the Steelers seem
(06:33):
like they're a Canadian Football League team. The way the
amount of attention that they get and you're living under
the microscope, and especially a guy like George Pickens, who
you know, if you're covering the Cowboys and you want
to get his story, George Pickens, who are you gonna call?
You call George Pickens up. He's very emotional, right, he's unpredictable,
(06:54):
but he's unpredictable in a way where he's predictable, where
you know he's at any moment, it's it's the fuse
is going to reach the end.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And then Katboom with with pickets. So hey, I'm in it,
good talk radio.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I'm excited about this and I will enjoy all the
efforts made by Dak Prescott. And what's that that puppet
coach Schottenheimer's kid, and then who shouldn't be the coach?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And then Jerry Jones? So why not all right now?
Page two, page number two to the schedule we go?
Always a fun topic. Now Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Somewhat recently, Joe Burrow got on the bully pulpit and complain, complain, complain, complain, complain.
Did you remember the complaints? So he was upset because
the Bengals don't get to play international games. He wants
to play international games. The main complaint, though, he was
grumbling about the Cincinnati football team having to play.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Prime time yet again in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Fourth straight season, fourth straight season, the Bengals will play
a primetime game against their blood rival the Ravens. There
in front of Sports with Coleman in Baltimore. So, the
NFL vice president of broadcast planning, how much do you
think that job pays? How much has that been t
(08:22):
three huousand four hundred thousand? How much is that job?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Pick?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So the guy's name Mike North.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
When I think of Mike North, I think of a
proud Chicagoan, a Hall of Fame, Lifetime Achievement award winning
radio man Mike North. But this is Mike North, the
NFL vice president of Broadcasting and Planning, who told the
state funded team website that the message from Joe Burrow
has been received even if it did not change anything
(08:51):
this year. The empty suit for the NFL said, when
trends like that emerge, we probably you have to adjust
at some point.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Close quote.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Okay, so the NFL admitting it quote probably has to
adjust following Joe Burrow's complaints about the schedule. What is
your reaction to this news. So this is the rare,
the rare, very rare confession. It is a confession.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And it's a multi billion dollar entity, the NFL. And
here they are, and what are they doing. They are
doing something truly remarkable. They're confessing, They're admitting they're gonna change.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
This is not good. Well, it's sort of right.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And having documented for many, many years behind these microphones
of Fox Sports Radio and other places, but mostly Fox
Sports Radio, having documented the NFL, you know how rare
it is for the NFL to ever admit they f
anything up at any point. There is a better chance
ats of going out on a dingy out in the
Atlantic and catching a blue lobster. There's a better chance
(10:07):
of that happening, right, one in two million or something
like that. Joe Burrow made the simple observation, very simple,
that the NFL current scheduling model there's a glitch, and
the Bengals are not a glamour team. The NFL worries
about the teams that get big ratings. The Bengals don't
get big ratings. The Cowboys get ratings, the Steelers, the
(10:30):
usual suspects who have national followings get ratings.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
The Bengals don't.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
They don't get bad ratings, but they're they're not moving
the wrecking ball around in the in that department. So
in a moment, a rare moment of clarity or perhaps confusion,
the NFL responded, and of course they use the word probably,
which is a weasel word, corporate speak for we might
(10:55):
change something. We're not guaranteeing it. We probably, we might,
we might not. Probably. Yeah, it's leading that direction. And
so like Joe Burrow, he's onto something. So probably I
probably will help you move your sofa. I might not,
but probably I will. My final point to the Bayou,
(11:18):
we go to New Orleans where veteran wide receiver Brandon
Cooks he's back. Brandon Cooks is back in Louisiana. He
played for the Saints and then went to the Patriots
on the Rams and a bunch of other teams, but
he's worked his way back to Louisiana, and the veteran
wide receiver says the quarterback battle in the byo between
(11:39):
Tyler Shuck and Spencer Rattler is quote going to be
fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Your thoughts, all right, so fun to watch That would
not be the word I would use.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I look at that quarterback competition in New Orleans, and
I have no skin in the game. Obviously we know that. However,
it sounds like charity. It's like make a wish, Hey,
you want to play quarterback. It's like that scene from
Major League Hey, how would you like to play quarterback
for the Saints this year? Brandon Cook? You even worked
(12:16):
for the team. You're one of the veteran leaders here.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So you've got to get to polish out and some
you're polishing turds, is what you're doing here. And so
he's polishing some turns. But man, saying the right thing, right,
you got to say the right thing.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And that's corporate speak, trying to hype up the young
guys and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Does anyone think that's good? Maybe you bet.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Against the Saints, that's a good thing because you think
whoever plays quarterback you talk about a battle of futility.
Holy crap, unless you're somehow related to Tyler Shuck or
Spencer Rattler, and not even like friend related. I'm talking
like blood relations. Welcome to Dolesville.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So the Saints trying to figure stuff out. I guess
they're just throwing pasta against the wall, and there's still
the wild.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Card they got in trade for another quarterback. But if
you go with Tyler Shuck, the like thirty seven year
old rookie from Louisville who was in transfer portal a
million times, or Spencer Rattler, it's akin to going to
flight school and saying, hey, fly the plane while you're
reading the manual, Like why don't you take take the
(13:25):
plane off, read the manual and just kind of fly
and then land the plane and all that stuff. Good luck,
good luck. That's a developmental situation, which means a wasted
season is upcoming. A wasted season. Get out the paper bags.
The ants are back. The ants are back trying to
catch lightning in a bottle here outside of lightning in
(13:47):
a bottle or.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
A trade man.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
And yet you look at the NFC South, and am
I wrong to say there there was no one there
that is head and shoulders above everyone else. I look
at that division, it's pretty much wide open at Land
to a flawed team Tampa Bay, a flawed football team Carolina.
They suck, but they're supposed to be on the come,
as they say in poker, and so it doesn't look
like anyone's gonna run.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Away with that division. They're all though likely gonna run
away from the New Orleans Saints, the headless Saints, the
headless Saints running around there.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And if only they had a quarterback, if only they
had a quarterback, they'd have a chance. It is the

He says, I think so.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
No, of course not. I am locked in my position.
I would not change my position at all. Josh writes
in and he is a long suffering Bears fan in Nebraska.
He says, Ben, you said nobody listens to all four hours. Well,
I'm somebody and I listened all four hours. I start
delivering papers around one am till four am when I
(17:43):
finished the show on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I don't believe you, Josh.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It has been proven it is bad for your health
to listen to all four hours. You cannot survive. You
have to be made out of like some kind of
metal to survive all four hours.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
There you go. Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
The Mexican John Dutton Wright since says Ben calling the
Sins quarterback a thirty seven year old rookie was genius. Well,
thank you, Uh, what else do we have page down.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
The Hoosier says, any public record of Pete betting on
the Bengals. Nope, even he knew where to draw the line,
every cent, every cent. He also says, Joe Burrow, Hang
nailed Joe worth every cent.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
So so he says, all right, let's go to.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
The phones and a man cashing a golden ticket. Some
people get the golden tickets, they never use the golden ticket.
They don't understand the golden ticket. They get the golden ticket,
they don't know what to do with the golden ticket.
And then there's other people that get the golden ticket
and re immediately use it.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Now that I've got a golden tickets, I got. The
first person to get the golden ticket that demanded the
golden ticket was Real Talk, who's now on the naughty
list from New York. But like real Talk, he.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Got it and right away he called back and used
like immediately, at least this person waited. Today we go
to Minnesota right now and a man that has many
shot attempts. The first ten minutes of that NBA playoff
game is Anthony Edwards hollering James from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Anthony Edwards cannot do it by himself. I cannot do
it by myself. I cannot live alone by myself.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You're making excuses. You're making excuses. Don't make excuses.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Me from Montana. I need a supporting crew, man. I
need help with gift cause I ain't.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Help with Are you asking for money? I feel like
you're begging for money? Is that true? Are you begging
for money?
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Am I begging for money? Did I not see you
when I needed a friend? Did I not come to you?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Don't put me into this. Listen, here's the difference. Anthony
Edwards is the franchise player. He's a two hundred million player.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
When you're a two.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Hundred million dollar player, you're not out there standing around
playing with you.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You know what, You gotta make some shots. You got
to attempt shots.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Even Michael Jordan had a supporting chance. Either Gobi Brand
had a deal with Shaquille O'Neil and he had a
supporting chance.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Okay, here's the deal though.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Okay, if you get two hundred million dollars, because you
can score against anyone. So either Oklahoma City had the
greatest defensive performance that we have ever seen in modern basketball.
Where this great player, right, this amazing talent, Anthony Edwards,
he was so locked down he only got one shot
(20:40):
attempt in the first quarter. Or he was just being
lazy and he was he was not putting the effort
in the perseverance.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
He did not do his job either one.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
So he's either Oklahoma City's a most amazing defensive team
or Anthony Edwards was too passive, he had something on
his mind, he was distracted, He wasn't ready to play.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
You put three or four guys at one guy.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
You Oh my.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
God, you are such an apologist for the team. That's
a bad job by you, James.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Why why are you targeting it me?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I ain't because I'm not talking to you want to
talking to I'm not talking Anthony Edwards. I'm talking to you.
You're on the phone.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
I'm on the phone because I'm representing Anthony Edwards and Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
You're representative. So if you're you're representing him. So I'm
I'm directing my anger at you.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
It won't lose another game.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
You want to bet on that, I'll bet you ten
thousand dollars. How about that?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
If I had the money to bet, I wouldn't be
in my situation?
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Is that your way of saying, listen, you can if
you're If you're that confident, I'll give you ten grand weight.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Man hippie. You only want to put me in a
situation like weave, man, hippie. So I have to move
to Miami.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Oh, God forbid, you have to live in Miami. That
would be the worst thing. That would leave Minnesota and
go to Miami. Holy crap, that would be the worst. Yeah, Oh,
that'd be awesome.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
And James James show together.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Wouldn't that be a great reality show if we could
put like that? How about you know that I don't
know if they still do that, the McDonald's house, you know,
charity things.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
They thought Jersey Shore was good.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
How about the Mallor house where we put Marcel in Brooklyn,
Blair and Maine hollering, James weed man, hippie blind Scott
will be in there. Oh my god, that would be amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Has to be there.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, Marcel is definitely part of that. Blair and Maine,
those two guys fight with each other. This is coulda
be this gonna be a massive that would be the
biggest show on television.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
The profits.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, I want about me, I want the my idea
about pretty rich. I'm not I do overnight radio. I'm
not rich. Please that.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Ladies.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
First, Oh, you're such a well, you're such a gentleman.
Don't always go for I can't imagine why.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I don't know why?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Why?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
What love question?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
What a cash.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Question?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
No, we don't have time for that. I gotta go.
But they called back. Okay, I won't hang up on you.
I'm putting it on the hoold. They go away.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Let's say all to Charlie the Dallas Dumper. Who is
up next? Royal flush? Charlie? Hello, Charlie. Hey, Ben the
Dallas Dumper.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
I guessed correctly on the Mallard trivia earlier. I guessed
while on the phone. I was thinking it would be Kobe.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
You were all right, look at you, you're a big stud.
Look at that. You know what I'm gonna give you?
An ad boy? You get an add a boy.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Thank you. My Dallas stars are disappointingly Ben, Why, I
mean Nico Rantan and can't scooper on these oilers?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Well, generally, as you know, I'm the hockey guy on
the show. Now that Eddie's not here anymore, I don't
even know. You probably don't even know who Eddie is
because I don't know if you're listening back then. But
the I would say that in order for the Dallas
Stars to win that they might have to, you know,
get an occasional big time goal from those star players,
like occasionally, right, a little more production.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
But what I yes, yeah, what do I know?
Speaker 7 (24:28):
But and they've done it in previous series and even
in this it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You got to do it here, you got to do
it now. You gotta get it done in the moment.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
I was getting to that. And they technically have done
it in this series or a five goal third period,
but they haven't done it in any other game in
this series. They played three games, lost two of them.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Well, I don't know much about hockey, but I don't
I do know that Stuart Skinner blows. And they went
to start nearly one hundred minutes without scoring on Stuart Skinner,
which you know, I'm not a hockey guy, but I
know that's not good. Through from Game one through Game three,
they want another twenty four minutes without a goal in
(25:12):
the game back on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
So that's uh, that ain't that? Ain't ideal? I think
you could score against Skinner. How's your skating?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
By the way, Okay, Charlie, you're the Dallas that's a
great nickname, Dallas Dumper, Royal Flush.
Speaker 7 (25:26):

If I'm running that, it's probably some million dollars, like
soccer thing or something.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Well, I was an a Y s O official. I

know I know soccer.
Speaker 2 (26:56):

Pay him, that's right. Whatever you want. I am malleable.
Whatever you need me to do. I will help you

legal All right, well, Charlie, amazing call. Yet again, you

I have no idea. Okay, buddy, get some sleep.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
You got you gotta go. You gotta go back to school,
so you gotta get some sleep.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Right, Hey, how do you get a golden ticket.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Well, there's a coupleways you can win a game show.
We play game shows throughout the night. You can win
it that way. You can have such an amazing call
that we just give you the golden ticket. Those are
usually the ways that we hand out the golden tickets.
So that's how that works. Okay, all right, buddy, there's
the great Charlie. Let's say hello to the deacon who
(27:48):
is in Houston. Hello Deacon, Hello Ben, how are you.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Well?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
If I was any better, I'd be a stroke, not
an asstro.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
They cheated. They cheated in the World Series. And so yeah,
I've heard that rumor.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
I've heard that.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I have heard that too. I have heard people talk
about that on the radio for a long time.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I've heard that.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
And uh, Lorena and Coop lovely to speak with you
both again too.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
They don't they're not listening.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
There she is? Okay, I thought I thought Charlie into
that call with a million dollars. Shocker, Ben, I had
no clue what kind of product that was going to be. Uh,
but I do. I do want to let you know
that there are people that listen to your entire show. Uh.
Now I do unintentionally, probably two or three times a week,
(28:40):
because I actually can't fall asleep at any point during.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Oh, you fall into the basket of you fall into
the insomniac category.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Yeah, yes, so I accidentally end up listening to your whole.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Not intentional, not intentional, you'd rather be sleeping, But because
you have some law in your genetics, you're awake.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
It does. An overactive brain is probably what.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
You cannot shut your brain off. I have the same problem.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
I can't shut I can't believe that because it translates
to your mouth quite well.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Well, I feel like that compliment a talk show host.
Y's right, I see that's more.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Hours, almost unassisted.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
That's a compliment, that's right.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
See that, Lorenz four hours of live talk radio, not
a podcast podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
You can stop it and start it and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
And yeah, now, I do believe there are some subtle
insults thrown into Deacon's phone calls a proud HOUSTONI I always.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Insinuate that, man, But it's the best of intentions everything.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I totally disagree with that.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
I think that the record shows that there have been insults.
Mister Irrigation backs that up. By the way, your fellow Houstonian.
He backs that up that there's some funny business going on.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Okay, I have a question also, I.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Would love and mister Irrigation is trying to get me
to go to Houston for a Mallard meet and greet,
which is hilariou is to me, I would love that.
I would go dressed as a trash can. I would
show up to the meet and greet dressed as a
trash can. Uh, just to see the reaction of people.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
I think you have a trash can with a buzzer.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yes, I would have a that's right, You're right, I
have the buzzer on my chest.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I might yeah, and i'd be I'd be playing a
whistle while I have the tragic.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
I'm sure we can find someone that something on the
screen too. Didn't they do something on the screen.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I just my my my favorite part. Now, Deacon, you
weren't listening with this guy n Chris, who's uh he's
he works the day shift now, but he was on
at night with us in Houston and he called up
the night the story broke on the Athletic and he's like,
oh no, this is all Uh you thought it was
like a deep fake. He thought it was like, yeah, yeah, so.
But in the in the Major League Baseball Productions World
(30:52):
Series video, they showed the table where they were using
the computer to cheat.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
In the actual Major League Baseball produced World Series video,
they showed the table behind the dugout that they were
using to send the signals to the players.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It was great.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Before I let you go, because I know you have
other things to do. Can I make a final plea
with you to find some forgiveness in your heart for
the city? Can I explain to you the situation, Ben,
We had just gone through a major.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Hurd Oh, come on, you guys have hurricanes every couple
of years.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
I look at Joe Rostein. He wouldn't let anybody in
his church. People were drowning his living room like the
modern day Noah's art. You know, you can't come in here.
You know then, you guys had all those fires out
there and stuff. If the Dodgers cheat to win the
World Series this year, I'll give you guys them all
again on it.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
No deal. Now.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Disasters happen all the time. It's one of the great
things about living in America.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
You're never that far away from a disaster, whether it's fire, water, rain,
which is water or wind or some other big events.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
Well, next time I call Ben, I'm going to offer
you a bribe.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Okay, Well, I can't wait. You have insomnia two days FM.
Now I got to go to bet Okay, I can't wait.
Oh my god, the deacon well, time served, time served.
Tyrese Haliburton's father is out of NBA jail. He will
be returning for a game number four, number fove.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
After getting onto the court with Giannis Adentacumbo and he
had originally been banned for the rest of the postseason,
but after pleased by Charles Barkley and other prominent NBA figures,
the NBA has decided, Yeah, come on down.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Why not? Your dad can hang out there. You just
cannot cannot get.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Down to the floor. You will not be sitting courtside.
We are told that John Halliburton will be watching Game
four from inside a suite at the Fieldhouse Arena.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
There.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Oh good, indianaplis So he'll be eating the buffet of food,
the deserts, the drinks, and he'll be observing from the
I think they should put him at the as long as.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
He's away from people. You know, well, he'll be around people.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
He just won't be able to get on the court
with the players unless How great would it be if
they put a zip line from the luxury box and
at the end of the game he jumped on the
zip line and went down to the court to harass.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
It would be so action packed.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
If he just went down there to harass Karl Anthony
Towns or Jalen Brunson and.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Be fun.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
But what I would have done is I would have
gotten the worst seat in the arena in Indianapolis, and
I would have put John Halliburton in the seat and
put a spotlight on him during the game.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
And here you are. You're back, and everyone will be
staring at you. And there it is the.
Speaker 1 (33:38):

Without a doubt, And Shakira was neighbors with Dwight Gooden,
doctor k.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Who was the correct answer to Dwight Gordon for the
New York Mets and the Yankees? All right, here we
go here? How about that? To here we go?
Speaker 4 (37:37):
This is one big gets Graillo.
Speaker 8 (37:41):
So since Lebron left Cleveland for Miami, fifteen years ago.
It sparked an NBA player empowerment movement that so many
superstars leave their small market teams for the big city.
Now we have three budding superstars and three small markets,
all vying for the championship. Ben out of a SGA,
Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Halliburton, who do you think is
most likely to eventually leave for big market?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
All right, So I don't do lists, but I will
tell you on my big board, the most likely is
Anthony Edwards. Like, this guy's got ties to Atlanta. Big
city guy. You know, I just not that minnesot is not.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
A big city.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
It's just not as big as I think he wants.
So I put him at the top. Halliburton second SGA.
He seems fine in Oklahoma. I don't get any sense
he's dying to leave there. So that's that's it.
Speaker 8 (38:23):
Next show, Haltani through to live batters for the first
time since his elbow surgery and a twenty two pitch
Live BP on Sunday, drawing lots of spectators. But how
important is it to the Dodgers' success this season for
Atani to return to form on the mound.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Everyone's hurt Coop.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
They're all hurt.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
The entire effing rotation is on the injury list. They
need someone who actually wants to pitch and is somewhat heavy.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
But the problem is Otani. I don't expect much to
Tommy John's come up next.
Speaker 8 (38:53):
Jim Nantz said in a recent interview that he thinks
the Cowboys Chiefs game on Thanksgiving Day will set new
viewership records for the NFL.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Do you agree with him?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Well, I expect the Cowboys would be a mid level team,
but they always get pretty good ratings. And if I
was Jim Nass and I was working for CBS, I'd
say the same thing. I say, close, but not on
an all time record. How did we do you pass?
That is a wig put on a point?
Speaker 6 (39:13):
I won.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
I won the game.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
By La Reina's laughing, I won the game.
Boom, shaka laka. It's our numb bertwo, our number two.
So how does the Cowboys plan to protect George Pickens?
The ex stealer wide receiver sound to you. We'll get
some details to you on that. Also, the NFL has
admitted it quote probably has to adjust following Joe Burrows's
(00:22):
schedule complaint. What's your reaction to this news and veteran
wide receiver Brandon Cooks says, the quarterback battle in the
Bayou between Tyler Shuck and Spencer Rattler is quote going
to be fun to.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Watch your thoughts.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
We'll talk about all of that and who knows what
else right now, buckle up for our number two.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Well, that is very jerry of you.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahler Show.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
We are in the Are Everywhere It Consortium, as we
know the power of Surprise coast coast border, the motor
and beyond on the vast and blaringly powerful microphones of
fsre emminating live.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
From the roller, the roller, the steamroller right around the
radio dial as we were hanging out here at the
Fox Sports Radio studios in this hour made possible in
part by tire rack. Over forty years, ti Raq has
been helping customers from the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and freeback by free
(01:42):
road hazard protection approved by Jimmy from Marino Valley, with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire raq dot
Com the way tire buying should be and approved also
by Ferdock.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So our lead this hour play the hit small man,
play the hits.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
We'll go to Jerry's world, will start out in Jerry's
world now when in doubt, the star will fill up
the content kitty. And yet again here we are holiday
weekend and tetah.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Oops it happened again. Oops it happened again. Some more
chatter about the relationship between wide receiver George Pickens, who
was decommissioned thrown overboard by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and how
he fits in with the Cowboys in Dallas the X
(02:36):
Steeler pass catcher now part of Jerry's universe, and how's
that going? Well, I hadn't played a game yet, so
it's fine. I hadn't played a game yet. Everything's great.
They are planting stories in the media that he's been
a model teammate everything is wonderful. Blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
There was one a dendum to this that I thought
is worthy of some talk, and I don't know if
you saw it or not.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It happened recently.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
The word on the street out of the Dallas area
is that not only is Dak Prescott planning on helping
out here, but Jerry Jones, that Dak Prescott and Jerry
Jones both are going to shield George Pickens from the criticism.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, So that's fine, you expect them to help out.
There's been some chatter that they're even going to be
calling on the media in Dallas to back off criticism
of George Pickens to allow him.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
To grow to blossom like a flower.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So let us discuss the question, how does the Cowboys
plan to protect wide receiver George Pickens?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Sound to you?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So, I've got handholding, lobster, and flight school, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to drive away in a station wagon. Now, they
when was the last time they made a station wagon?
They don't make those anyway, haven't made those in thirty
years at least Why did they stop making the station wagon?
(04:13):
Would anyone buy the station wagon if they had? I
know it was replaced by the minivan, but and then
the suv. But if they had the station wagon, I
know those people collect them. Why don't they make him
any things that make you go?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
To get to the point, how does the Cowboys plan
to protect wide receiver?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
George Pickens? Sound you so?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Number said number? Jerry Jones has decided to use a
carbon copy. Now I would say he would have used
a laser printer to recreate this, But it's Jerry, So
he's using a carbon copy of Cowboys Season gone by.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And you might.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Remember the famous stories that are part of Internet lore
that does Bryan famously had a babysitter. He was on
the knucklehead spectrum, and so in an effort to fully monetize,
fully monetize his performance, the legend of the Internet is
Jerry Jones hired a round the clock babysitter to keep
(05:16):
des Bryant's nose clean. Now, whether that's true or not
is open for debate. However, it is not open for
debate that Jerry Jones will do whatever he has to
do in terms of taking a diminished asset and trying
to get that diminished asset squeeze some extra toothpaste out
of the tube beer. And that sounds like things are
(05:38):
not that extreme with George Pickens. And nevertheless, I would
file the information that we have.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I would file this under the over.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Protective handholding category, right, Like, what do we do? Like
Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott, how's this gonna work? Like
they're gonna play big bra they're here, and you like,
put up what they're gonna put up a human firewall
around George Pickens locker spoiler alert, spoiler alert. It ain't
(06:10):
gonna work, dude, It's not gonna work. This is the
the NFL. You're not on the playground at elementary school.
You're not doing recess. You're not on the swing set.
You're you're not playing hopscotch, You're not playing you know whatever.
You just it's not gonna work. You play for the
Dallas Cowboys. The Steelers have a lot of media. The
Steelers are a high profile profile team. They have a
national following the Dallas Cowboys. They make the Steelers seem
(06:33):
like they're a Canadian Football League team. The way the
amount of attention that they get and you're living under
the microscope, and especially a guy like George Pickens, who
you know, if you're covering the Cowboys and you want
to get his story, George Pickens, who are you gonna call?
You call George Pickens up. He's very emotional, right, he's unpredictable,
(06:54):
but he's unpredictable in a way where he's predictable, where
you know he's at any moment, it's it's the fuse
is going to reach the end.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And then Katboom with with pickets. So hey, I'm in it,
good talk radio.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I'm excited about this and I will enjoy all the
efforts made by Dak Prescott. And what's that that puppet
coach Schottenheimer's kid, and then who shouldn't be the coach?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And then Jerry Jones? So why not all right now?
Page two, page number two to the schedule we go?
Always a fun topic. Now Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Somewhat recently, Joe Burrow got on the bully pulpit and complain, complain, complain, complain, complain.
Did you remember the complaints? So he was upset because
the Bengals don't get to play international games. He wants
to play international games. The main complaint, though, he was
grumbling about the Cincinnati football team having to play.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Prime time yet again in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Fourth straight season, fourth straight season, the Bengals will play
a primetime game against their blood rival the Ravens. There
in front of Sports with Coleman in Baltimore. So, the
NFL vice president of broadcast planning, how much do you
think that job pays? How much has that been t
(08:22):
three huousand four hundred thousand? How much is that job?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Pick?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So the guy's name Mike North.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
When I think of Mike North, I think of a
proud Chicagoan, a Hall of Fame, Lifetime Achievement award winning
radio man Mike North. But this is Mike North, the
NFL vice president of Broadcasting and Planning, who told the
state funded team website that the message from Joe Burrow
has been received even if it did not change anything
(08:51):
this year. The empty suit for the NFL said, when
trends like that emerge, we probably you have to adjust
at some point.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Close quote.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Okay, so the NFL admitting it quote probably has to
adjust following Joe Burrow's complaints about the schedule. What is
your reaction to this news. So this is the rare,
the rare, very rare confession. It is a confession.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And it's a multi billion dollar entity, the NFL. And
here they are, and what are they doing. They are
doing something truly remarkable. They're confessing, They're admitting they're gonna change.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
This is not good. Well, it's sort of right.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And having documented for many, many years behind these microphones
of Fox Sports Radio and other places, but mostly Fox
Sports Radio, having documented the NFL, you know how rare
it is for the NFL to ever admit they f
anything up at any point. There is a better chance
ats of going out on a dingy out in the
Atlantic and catching a blue lobster. There's a better chance
(10:07):
of that happening, right, one in two million or something
like that. Joe Burrow made the simple observation, very simple,
that the NFL current scheduling model there's a glitch, and
the Bengals are not a glamour team. The NFL worries
about the teams that get big ratings. The Bengals don't
get big ratings. The Cowboys get ratings, the Steelers, the
(10:30):
usual suspects who have national followings get ratings.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
The Bengals don't.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
They don't get bad ratings, but they're they're not moving
the wrecking ball around in the in that department. So
in a moment, a rare moment of clarity or perhaps confusion,
the NFL responded, and of course they use the word probably,
which is a weasel word, corporate speak for we might
(10:55):
change something. We're not guaranteeing it. We probably, we might,
we might not. Probably. Yeah, it's leading that direction. And
so like Joe Burrow, he's onto something. So probably I
probably will help you move your sofa. I might not,
but probably I will. My final point to the Bayou,
(11:18):
we go to New Orleans where veteran wide receiver Brandon
Cooks he's back. Brandon Cooks is back in Louisiana. He
played for the Saints and then went to the Patriots
on the Rams and a bunch of other teams, but
he's worked his way back to Louisiana, and the veteran
wide receiver says the quarterback battle in the byo between
(11:39):
Tyler Shuck and Spencer Rattler is quote going to be
fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Your thoughts, all right, so fun to watch That would
not be the word I would use.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I look at that quarterback competition in New Orleans, and
I have no skin in the game. Obviously we know that. However,
it sounds like charity. It's like make a wish, Hey,
you want to play quarterback. It's like that scene from
Major League Hey, how would you like to play quarterback
for the Saints this year? Brandon Cook? You even worked
(12:16):
for the team. You're one of the veteran leaders here.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So you've got to get to polish out and some
you're polishing turds, is what you're doing here. And so
he's polishing some turns. But man, saying the right thing, right,
you got to say the right thing.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And that's corporate speak, trying to hype up the young
guys and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Does anyone think that's good? Maybe you bet.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Against the Saints, that's a good thing because you think
whoever plays quarterback you talk about a battle of futility.
Holy crap, unless you're somehow related to Tyler Shuck or
Spencer Rattler, and not even like friend related. I'm talking
like blood relations. Welcome to Dolesville.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So the Saints trying to figure stuff out. I guess
they're just throwing pasta against the wall, and there's still
the wild.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Card they got in trade for another quarterback. But if
you go with Tyler Shuck, the like thirty seven year
old rookie from Louisville who was in transfer portal a
million times, or Spencer Rattler, it's akin to going to
flight school and saying, hey, fly the plane while you're
reading the manual, Like why don't you take take the
(13:25):
plane off, read the manual and just kind of fly
and then land the plane and all that stuff. Good luck,
good luck. That's a developmental situation, which means a wasted
season is upcoming. A wasted season. Get out the paper bags.
The ants are back. The ants are back trying to
catch lightning in a bottle here outside of lightning in
(13:47):
a bottle or.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
A trade man.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
And yet you look at the NFC South, and am
I wrong to say there there was no one there
that is head and shoulders above everyone else. I look
at that division, it's pretty much wide open at Land
to a flawed team Tampa Bay, a flawed football team Carolina.
They suck, but they're supposed to be on the come,
as they say in poker, and so it doesn't look
like anyone's gonna run.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Away with that division. They're all though likely gonna run
away from the New Orleans Saints, the headless Saints, the
headless Saints running around there.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And if only they had a quarterback, if only they
had a quarterback, they'd have a chance. It is the

it means lebron Jas would you change your tune on
King James?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
He says, I think so.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
No, of course not. I am locked in my position.
I would not change my position at all. Josh writes
in and he is a long suffering Bears fan in Nebraska.
He says, Ben, you said nobody listens to all four hours. Well,
I'm somebody and I listened all four hours. I start
delivering papers around one am till four am when I
(17:43):
finished the show on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I don't believe you, Josh.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It has been proven it is bad for your health
to listen to all four hours. You cannot survive. You
have to be made out of like some kind of
metal to survive all four hours.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
There you go. Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
The Mexican John Dutton Wright since says Ben calling the
Sins quarterback a thirty seven year old rookie was genius. Well,
thank you, Uh, what else do we have page down.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
The Hoosier says, any public record of Pete betting on
the Bengals. Nope, even he knew where to draw the line,
every cent, every cent. He also says, Joe Burrow, Hang
nailed Joe worth every cent.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
So so he says, all right, let's go to.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
The phones and a man cashing a golden ticket. Some
people get the golden tickets, they never use the golden ticket.
They don't understand the golden ticket. They get the golden ticket,
they don't know what to do with the golden ticket.
And then there's other people that get the golden ticket
and re immediately use it.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Now that I've got a golden tickets, I got. The
first person to get the golden ticket that demanded the
golden ticket was Real Talk, who's now on the naughty
list from New York. But like real Talk, he.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Got it and right away he called back and used
like immediately, at least this person waited. Today we go
to Minnesota right now and a man that has many
shot attempts. The first ten minutes of that NBA playoff
game is Anthony Edwards hollering James from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Anthony Edwards cannot do it by himself. I cannot do
it by myself. I cannot live alone by myself.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You're making excuses. You're making excuses. Don't make excuses.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Me from Montana. I need a supporting crew, man. I
need help with gift cause I ain't.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Help with Are you asking for money? I feel like
you're begging for money? Is that true? Are you begging
for money?
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Am I begging for money? Did I not see you
when I needed a friend? Did I not come to you?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Don't put me into this. Listen, here's the difference. Anthony
Edwards is the franchise player. He's a two hundred million player.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
When you're a two.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Hundred million dollar player, you're not out there standing around
playing with you.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You know what, You gotta make some shots. You got
to attempt shots.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Even Michael Jordan had a supporting chance. Either Gobi Brand
had a deal with Shaquille O'Neil and he had a
supporting chance.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Okay, here's the deal though.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Okay, if you get two hundred million dollars, because you
can score against anyone. So either Oklahoma City had the
greatest defensive performance that we have ever seen in modern basketball.
Where this great player, right, this amazing talent, Anthony Edwards,
he was so locked down he only got one shot
(20:40):
attempt in the first quarter. Or he was just being
lazy and he was he was not putting the effort
in the perseverance.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
He did not do his job either one.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
So he's either Oklahoma City's a most amazing defensive team
or Anthony Edwards was too passive, he had something on
his mind, he was distracted, He wasn't ready to play.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
You put three or four guys at one guy.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
You Oh my.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
God, you are such an apologist for the team. That's
a bad job by you, James.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Why why are you targeting it me?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I ain't because I'm not talking to you want to
talking to I'm not talking Anthony Edwards. I'm talking to you.
You're on the phone.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
I'm on the phone because I'm representing Anthony Edwards and Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
You're representative. So if you're you're representing him. So I'm
I'm directing my anger at you.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
It won't lose another game.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
You want to bet on that, I'll bet you ten
thousand dollars. How about that?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
If I had the money to bet, I wouldn't be
in my situation?
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Is that your way of saying, listen, you can if
you're If you're that confident, I'll give you ten grand weight.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Man hippie. You only want to put me in a
situation like weave, man, hippie. So I have to move
to Miami.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Oh, God forbid, you have to live in Miami. That
would be the worst thing. That would leave Minnesota and
go to Miami. Holy crap, that would be the worst. Yeah, Oh,
that'd be awesome.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
And James James show together.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Wouldn't that be a great reality show if we could
put like that? How about you know that I don't
know if they still do that, the McDonald's house, you know,
charity things.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
They thought Jersey Shore was good.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
How about the Mallor house where we put Marcel in Brooklyn,
Blair and Maine hollering, James weed man, hippie blind Scott
will be in there. Oh my god, that would be amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Has to be there.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, Marcel is definitely part of that. Blair and Maine,
those two guys fight with each other. This is coulda
be this gonna be a massive that would be the
biggest show on television.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
The profits.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, I want about me, I want the my idea
about pretty rich. I'm not I do overnight radio. I'm
not rich. Please that.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Ladies.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
First, Oh, you're such a well, you're such a gentleman.
Don't always go for I can't imagine why.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I don't know why?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Why?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
What love question?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
What a cash.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Question?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
No, we don't have time for that. I gotta go.
But they called back. Okay, I won't hang up on you.
I'm putting it on the hoold. They go away.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Let's say all to Charlie the Dallas Dumper. Who is
up next? Royal flush? Charlie? Hello, Charlie. Hey, Ben the
Dallas Dumper.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
I guessed correctly on the Mallard trivia earlier. I guessed
while on the phone. I was thinking it would be Kobe.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
You were all right, look at you, you're a big stud.
Look at that. You know what I'm gonna give you?
An ad boy? You get an add a boy.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Thank you. My Dallas stars are disappointingly Ben, Why, I
mean Nico Rantan and can't scooper on these oilers?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Well, generally, as you know, I'm the hockey guy on
the show. Now that Eddie's not here anymore, I don't
even know. You probably don't even know who Eddie is
because I don't know if you're listening back then. But
the I would say that in order for the Dallas
Stars to win that they might have to, you know,
get an occasional big time goal from those star players,
like occasionally, right, a little more production.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
But what I yes, yeah, what do I know?
Speaker 7 (24:28):
But and they've done it in previous series and even
in this it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You got to do it here, you got to do
it now. You gotta get it done in the moment.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
I was getting to that. And they technically have done
it in this series or a five goal third period,
but they haven't done it in any other game in
this series. They played three games, lost two of them.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Well, I don't know much about hockey, but I don't
I do know that Stuart Skinner blows. And they went
to start nearly one hundred minutes without scoring on Stuart Skinner,
which you know, I'm not a hockey guy, but I
know that's not good. Through from Game one through Game three,
they want another twenty four minutes without a goal in
(25:12):
the game back on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
So that's uh, that ain't that? Ain't ideal? I think
you could score against Skinner. How's your skating?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
By the way, Okay, Charlie, you're the Dallas that's a
great nickname, Dallas Dumper, Royal Flush.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
Charlie, I'm not great skating.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
You're more of a brains guy. You're more of the
brain operation guy. Right, you have the you have the
smart too much. Now this guy's this guy's listen. This
is going to play this. Guys are gonna run a
company someday. I'm gonna be working for Charlie when charlie's old.
You're gonna hire me. Charlie, I'll be old by then,
But you want to hire me?
Speaker 7 (25:47):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Come on, Charlie, you won't hire me when you're running
some big company in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You won't hire me as an advisor.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
I could do that.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
That's a weasel word. Could a weasel word? Come on?
Speaker 7 (26:04):
That's supposed to mean?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
What's a weasel word? I mean? Is I could I
could not? It means yeah, you could couldn't.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Maybe it's a it's a it's a it's an answer
non answer?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Is what it is. I don't know this.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
It's funny. I'm trying to get a job and you.
I don't think you're playing along here, Charlie. I don't
think you liked me. I thought we were friends. We
are friends, So you're gonna hire me? Yeah, Okay, there
you go. It's on tape, Mark tape, Lorena. There you go, Charlie.
When you're running some multi million dollar conglomerate, I will
(26:41):
call you up and we will work together.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
If I'm running that, it's probably some million dollars, like
soccer thing or something.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Well, I was an a Y s O official. I
was a soccer official in my younger days, so I
know I know soccer.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I put me on whatever you want, as long as you.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Pay him, that's right. Whatever you want. I am malleable.
Whatever you need me to do. I will help you
out well to anything legal. Let me point out a
legal All right, well, Charlie, amazing call. Yet again, you
are just a stunner. I don't know how you do it.
I have no idea. Okay, buddy, get some sleep.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
You got you gotta go. You gotta go back to school,
so you gotta get some sleep.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Right, Hey, how do you get a golden ticket.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Well, there's a coupleways you can win a game show.
We play game shows throughout the night. You can win
it that way. You can have such an amazing call
that we just give you the golden ticket. Those are
usually the ways that we hand out the golden tickets.
So that's how that works. Okay, all right, buddy, there's
the great Charlie. Let's say hello to the deacon who
(27:48):
is in Houston. Hello Deacon, Hello Ben, how are you.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Well?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
If I was any better, I'd be a stroke, not
an asstro.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
They cheated. They cheated in the World Series. And so yeah,
I've heard that rumor.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
I've heard that.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I have heard that too. I have heard people talk
about that on the radio for a long time.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I've heard that.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
And uh, Lorena and Coop lovely to speak with you
both again too.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
They don't they're not listening.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
There she is? Okay, I thought I thought Charlie into
that call with a million dollars. Shocker, Ben, I had
no clue what kind of product that was going to be. Uh,
but I do. I do want to let you know
that there are people that listen to your entire show. Uh.
Now I do unintentionally, probably two or three times a week,
(28:40):
because I actually can't fall asleep at any point during.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Oh, you fall into the basket of you fall into
the insomniac category.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Yeah, yes, so I accidentally end up listening to your whole.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Not intentional, not intentional, you'd rather be sleeping, But because
you have some law in your genetics, you're awake.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
It does. An overactive brain is probably what.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
You cannot shut your brain off. I have the same problem.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
I can't shut I can't believe that because it translates
to your mouth quite well.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Well, I feel like that compliment a talk show host.
Y's right, I see that's more.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Hours, almost unassisted.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
That's a compliment, that's right.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
See that, Lorenz four hours of live talk radio, not
a podcast podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
You can stop it and start it and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
And yeah, now, I do believe there are some subtle
insults thrown into Deacon's phone calls a proud HOUSTONI I always.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Insinuate that, man, But it's the best of intentions everything.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I totally disagree with that.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
I think that the record shows that there have been insults.
Mister Irrigation backs that up. By the way, your fellow Houstonian.
He backs that up that there's some funny business going on.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Okay, I have a question also, I.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Would love and mister Irrigation is trying to get me
to go to Houston for a Mallard meet and greet,
which is hilariou is to me, I would love that.
I would go dressed as a trash can. I would
show up to the meet and greet dressed as a
trash can. Uh, just to see the reaction of people.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
I think you have a trash can with a buzzer.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yes, I would have a that's right, You're right, I
have the buzzer on my chest.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I might yeah, and i'd be I'd be playing a
whistle while I have the tragic.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
I'm sure we can find someone that something on the
screen too. Didn't they do something on the screen.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I just my my my favorite part. Now, Deacon, you
weren't listening with this guy n Chris, who's uh he's
he works the day shift now, but he was on
at night with us in Houston and he called up
the night the story broke on the Athletic and he's like,
oh no, this is all Uh you thought it was
like a deep fake. He thought it was like, yeah, yeah, so.
But in the in the Major League Baseball Productions World
(30:52):
Series video, they showed the table where they were using
the computer to cheat.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
In the actual Major League Baseball produced World Series video,
they showed the table behind the dugout that they were
using to send the signals to the players.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It was great.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Before I let you go, because I know you have
other things to do. Can I make a final plea
with you to find some forgiveness in your heart for
the city? Can I explain to you the situation, Ben,
We had just gone through a major.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Hurd Oh, come on, you guys have hurricanes every couple
of years.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
I look at Joe Rostein. He wouldn't let anybody in
his church. People were drowning his living room like the
modern day Noah's art. You know, you can't come in here.
You know then, you guys had all those fires out
there and stuff. If the Dodgers cheat to win the
World Series this year, I'll give you guys them all
again on it.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
No deal. Now.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Disasters happen all the time. It's one of the great
things about living in America.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
You're never that far away from a disaster, whether it's fire, water, rain,
which is water or wind or some other big events.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
Well, next time I call Ben, I'm going to offer
you a bribe.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Okay, Well, I can't wait. You have insomnia two days FM.
Now I got to go to bet Okay, I can't wait.
Oh my god, the deacon well, time served, time served.
Tyrese Haliburton's father is out of NBA jail. He will
be returning for a game number four, number fove.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
After getting onto the court with Giannis Adentacumbo and he
had originally been banned for the rest of the postseason,
but after pleased by Charles Barkley and other prominent NBA figures,
the NBA has decided, Yeah, come on down.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Why not? Your dad can hang out there. You just
cannot cannot get.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Down to the floor. You will not be sitting courtside.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
He's away from people. You know, well, he'll be around people.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
He just won't be able to get on the court
with the players unless How great would it be if
they put a zip line from the luxury box and
at the end of the game he jumped on the
zip line and went down to the court to harass.

If he just went down there to harass Karl Anthony
Towns or Jalen Brunson and.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
But what I would have done is I would have
gotten the worst seat in the arena in Indianapolis, and
I would have put John Halliburton in the seat and
put a spotlight on him during the game.

for the Rangers, but blank streak is still the record.

to start his career, the most by any picture since
the mound was moved to its current distance back in
eighteen ninety three. That's the Insta tributa the answer, and

New York Mets and the Yankees? All right, here we
go here? How about that? To here we go?
Speaker 4 (37:37):
This is one big gets Graillo.
Speaker 8 (37:41):
So since Lebron left Cleveland for Miami, fifteen years ago.
It sparked an NBA player empowerment movement that so many
superstars leave their small market teams for the big city.
Now we have three budding superstars and three small markets,
all vying for the championship. Ben out of a SGA,
Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Halliburton, who do you think is
most likely to eventually leave for big market?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
All right, So I don't do lists, but I will
tell you on my big board, the most likely is
Anthony Edwards. Like, this guy's got ties to Atlanta. Big
city guy. You know, I just not that minnesot is not.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
A big city.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
It's just not as big as I think he wants.
So I put him at the top. Halliburton second SGA.
He seems fine in Oklahoma. I don't get any sense
he's dying to leave there. So that's that's it.
Speaker 8 (38:23):
Next show, Haltani through to live batters for the first
time since his elbow surgery and a twenty two pitch
Live BP on Sunday, drawing lots of spectators. But how
important is it to the Dodgers' success this season for
Atani to return to form on the mound.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Everyone's hurt Coop.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
They're all hurt.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
The entire effing rotation is on the injury list. They
need someone who actually wants to pitch and is somewhat heavy.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
But the problem is Otani. I don't expect much to
Tommy John's come up next.
Speaker 8 (38:53):
Jim Nantz said in a recent interview that he thinks
the Cowboys Chiefs game on Thanksgiving Day will set new
viewership records for the NFL.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Do you agree with him?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Well, I expect the Cowboys would be a mid level team,
but they always get pretty good ratings. And if I
was Jim Nass and I was working for CBS, I'd
say the same thing. I say, close, but not on
an all time record. How did we do you pass?
That is a wig put on a point?
Speaker 6 (39:13):
I won.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
I won the game.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
By La Reina's laughing, I won the game.
