thumbs up or thumbs down on recent reports that Bill's

(00:24):
coach Sean McDermott is on the hot seat. Also, did
Jets coach Aaron Glenn have anterior motives with his praise
of Justin Fields. We'll talk about that. And the Steelers
have been mentioned as a match for Odell Beckham. How

Breeze Cheese, and Sports Jeopardy coming your way. Here it
is our number four. Have a great weekend. It's getting
hot in here. Watch out, not the heat on, some
other kind of heat. Welcome In the beginning of another

(01:10):
hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the
air everywhere Polka pals as we sting like the devil
coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
vast and abundantly powerful microphones of fs are ammating live
from the Sheik as we do the Shaken Bake of

(01:35):
the Graveyard shift from the Fox Sports Radio studios as
approved by Fried Daddy in Pennsylvania and our buddy from Alabama,
Van the One Legged Bama Man, and this portion of
the Ben Malor Show made possible in part by our
friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years, Tyraq has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what

(01:57):
and where they drive. Ship fast and free by Free
Road has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation tire rac dot com the way tire buying
should be. So our lead this hour is from football football.
So the NBA decided to go to two rounds of
the draft, and I don't know anyone that watched the

(02:18):
second round. So this NFL story that I saw, we
are less than twenty days away. Do you know that
we are less than twenty days away from it being on?
Like don't get Kong. Do you know the first team
that is going to report to NFL training camp that
has the rookies report? Do you know who it is?
You don't know who it is. Why would you know
who it is. You'd be a loser. You'd be a

(02:38):
nerd if you know who it is, and you're not
a nerd, you're not a loser. You don't know who
it is. That would be the Chargers Jim Harbaugh and
the Los Angeles Chargers of El Segundo. The Chargers are
going to begin training camp July twelfth, So we are
a little over two weeks away from Charger training camp

(02:59):
and a few days after that, the Bills, the Ravens,
the Dolphins, the Giants, the raven all these Seahawks, a
bunch of teams. So there are some rumblings though about
one of those teams that caught my attention, and that
would be the Buffalo football team. And you might know
where I'm going with this, but maybe not. He might

(03:20):
be out of the loop. And so there's some chatter,
some more chatter making the rounds that Sean McDermott, that's
a coach. Sean McDermott is whispered in hush tones to
be on the hottest of hot seats as training camp
gets says to begin in just a couple of weeks
here in Buffalo, McDermott has created this amazing regular season

(03:45):
recuas forty one games above five hundred in his eight
years as coach of the Buffalo Bills. He's been to
a pair of AFC Championship games, and yet they continue
to throw his name out into the fire day he's
on the hot seat. So let us discuss the question

(04:07):
are you gonna go thumbs up? Are you gonna go
thumbs down? Thumbs up, thumbs down on Bill's coach Sean
McDermott being in the danger zone on the hot seat.
So on this one, I've got Ferrari, grenade and tupperware,
and we will combine all of these things together and

(04:28):
we are gonna make the Baba Ganoosh is what we're
gonna make. We're gonna make the Baba Ganoosh. So to
lead off, though, two thumbs up, two thumbs up on
this on Sean McDermott being on the hot seat, call
me tough love malor if you want, I don't care.
McDermott is on borrowed time. It's you've got to get
to the super Bowl or that's it. Turn out the

(04:51):
last the parties over, Bye bye, bye bye. So on
this show, We try to avoid just the feelings, you know.
We we worry about the facts, and those are the facts, right.
The fact is Sean McDermott is the guy that did
bring the Bills back from the dead, the Bills franchise,
but now now he appears to be the guy that

(05:14):
is partially responsible for keeping them from getting to the
Promised Land. Five straight AFC titles, I think that numbers right.
I think it's five straight. So they've done very well
in the division, and what do they have to show
for it in the postseason? They get the participation ribbon
with the Bill's logo, so they've got that, and then

(05:34):
they have this recurring nightmare. It is their poltergeist, and
it's the Mahomes ghost that haunts them all over Western
New York, right all over New York, unable to break
through this invisible force field to get to the super Bowl.
Since twenty twenty, the pandemic year, I believe the number

(05:57):
is now four losses to Patrick Homes in the playoffs,
four of them and the Chief now not all in
the AFC title game, obviously, but four losses. They also
lost a home playoff game where they were heavily favored
against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. Remember the Bengals
the year they got to the I think it was
the year they got to the super Bowl. But either way,
it's been bad. So Buffalo has a five hundred record

(06:19):
in the playoffs. They're seven and seven in the playoffs.
They're doing it during this run with quarterback Josh Allen,
who has played much better. He's was not somebody I
thought was gonna be that great. I thought it'd be
average at best. He's been better than won an MVP award.
And yet so you have an MVP level quarterback, You've

(06:41):
had many of these games at home for the Buffalo Bills,
and you'vefed it up. I mean, it's like having a
luxury car. Sean McDermott is the guy that buys the
Ferrari and is using it to do door dash, Like
what are you doing? You shouldn't be doing that. It's like,
bad job you. And so if the goal of the

(07:02):
Bill's mafia, if they hold people accountable, the goal is
to get to the next level and all that stuff.
You gotta have the closer, you got to have the finisher.
And these Bills teams have found new and creative ways
to screw up. Slip on the banana peal in one game,
trapdoor opens up in the other game. It's a vaudevillian

(07:23):
comedy act in these playoff games. And so a coach
who does not turtle up when we get to the
month of January, in late January and it's like you
get all cold, like it's a lake effect blizzard there
in Orchard Park, which happens all the time. So my
position is that Sean McDermott absolutely is on the shortest

(07:46):
of short lists as far as the hot seat. Now, furthermore,
we go now to New Jersey, from New York to
New Jersey, and the question that is on the table
for this one did Here's the question, did the New
York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn have ulterior motives? Alterior

(08:08):
motives with his praise of Justin Fields. Do you see
what he said?

Speaker 3 (08:15):
No?

Speaker 2 (08:16):
All right, So Aaron Glenn made a comment, and the
comment was that he has a quarterback here who's not
out there to be a star. I'm essentially paraphrasing what
he said, but the quarterback's not trying to be a star.
So let me decode this and I will use the
time tested Mallear Rosetta stone to break this one down.

(08:40):
So this was a verbal green colored, green colored grenade
wrapped in a compliment, which is the perfect way to unload.
You pretend it's a compliment, but it's one of those backhanded,
left handed compliments, and that's what it was. Passive aggressive
of football shade. So that wasn't just praising justin feels

(09:05):
that he's not trying to be some kind of entertainment guy.
That was a drive by on Aaron Rogers. Remember Aaron
Rodgers on his way out of the Jets, he embarrassed
Aaron Glenn and the Jets member. He questioned their handling
of his situation when he went back to meet with
him and they'd already made the decision, it was like
right away, and Rogers took some shots at him. So

(09:28):
this is a payback payback situation by Aaron Glen, not
a not so subtle little slap across the face of
mister Rogers and his neighborhood. And the argument is that
Aaron Rodgers has spent more time on Pat McAfee's show
and Joe Rogan's show than in the pocket, at least
when he was with the Jets, and so yeah, did

(09:51):
Aaron Glenn have ulterior motives? Absolutely right, you bet your
your iohuasca drinking took us that that was the case there.
And it was calculated. It's absolutely calculating. I love it.
It wasn't about Justin Fields being humble. Justin Field sucks.
He can't play. He won't be able to play with

(10:13):
the Jets either. People will realize that. But this is
about Aaron Glenn's trying to cleanse out the evil spirits
from the locker room there, and he's got like I
imagine Aaron Glenn walking around during the day, has got
like incense, incests and sense and all that stuff. He's
wandering around and he's like got bleach out. He's scrubbing
the walls and the whole thing. I'm trying to rebrand

(10:35):
the Jets like we're not Hollywood. We're hard knocks, man,
we are hard nosed and we are ready to go.
We are not worried about TMZ and any of that stuff.
And that is it, and just one subtle jab at
a time at a time. All right, now, last thing,
we go to Petsburg, Pa, Land of the Insurs, where

(10:56):
the Steelers have now been mentioned as a destination a
landing spot for Odell Beckham Junior. OBJ, How does that
sound to you? So that sounds to me like heartburn,
is what it sounds like to me. Io, it's nostalgias.
People love to romanticize Odell Beckham trying to cash one

(11:21):
last check. OBJ, And you get the name recognition. People
know who he is, and there's some dusty highlights out
there on the interweb and all that. But if OBJ,
if Odell Beckham Jr. Let's say he was named John Doe,
would anybody be campaigning for John Doe to suit up

(11:42):
for the Pittsburgh Steelers or anywhere else? Of course not.
So the problem is also not that Odell Beckham is old,
because in football terms, just say, well, Odell Beckham is old.
It's that he's old news at this point. And if
you check the tupperware, and you open up the tupperware
in the back to the fridge, you'll notice that that
is week gold orange chicken with chow mayne. That's what

(12:05):
Odell Beckham is. And you don't want to eat that
that's been sitting in the back of the He is
yesterday's viral moment and all that stuff, and he had
a nice run in the highlight. He would have, I believe,
been the MVP of that Super Bowl with the Rams,
and then it was snap, crackle, pop. And he's never
recovered right. Every time he's played. He's played for multiple

(12:25):
teams since he left the Rams, he hadn't played that much,
but it's always like he's playing in slow motion when
you watch him. Right. It's not the same instinctive player
that he had been prior to all the injuries. And
he's come back multiple times and every time he joins
a new team, Odell Beckham's like, Wow, this is gonna
be different. We're gonna be great all that stuff, and
it's like you're re releasing It's like a band re
releasing the greatest hits album because everyone goes to the

(12:48):
same highlight and we've heard all this before and you
break down Odell Beckham like, you look at the knees,
shot right, knees are messed up. Hamstrings are the same
quality tissue paper you've got that Now, does he have
the fire in the belly? I don't know. For some
reason he wants to keep playing. But unless the Steelers

(13:09):
are running amusingum, I know they have some issues at
wide receiver other than DK Metcalf. But if you look
at the breakdown, right, you're not running a museum there
in Pittsburgh. You're not hanging old mementos and tugging at
heartstrings and all that stuff. And so if it is
a meritocracy, then you don't have room for being sentimental.

(13:34):
You don't have that. And so Beckham, you look at
his resume on LinkedIn and you're like, all right, that
was who he was. That is not the blueprint for
who he is going to be in the future. And
he doesn't even really give us good talk radio anymore.
Like the sound bites have not been great the last
couple of teams he's played for. So he was still

(13:56):
providing great sound bites, I'd be all for it, but
he can't play's and b you look at his performance
and you know off the field I'm talking about not great.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
Hello, Ben Mallard. Ixt hey, you know, give a shout
out one right here. And you know I'm just going
uh an honor coop to Louver for all we're going
to work. I'm should going to La Hollywood, going to
be working on the show Paradise. But anyways, I know you.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
I like that. You just worked that in to promote yourself.
I liked it. I liked that.

Speaker 6 (17:14):
Yeah. Well, well you know you're my you're my manser.
Of course I got to promote and I know you
allow me.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Well clearly, yes, absolutely, things are working out so well.
And then what studio are you going to in l A.

Speaker 6 (17:26):
Well, I'm actually going to be working, uh for Paradise.
So that's a Disney Disney cluss. So I figured I
beat the traffic because I got to be there early,
like at six thirty, you know.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
So oh yeah, yeah, you're smart. Did you drive right now? Yeah? No,
no traffic.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
It's very lonely. And now, you know, I know you
guys want to hear a pick. I got a great
pic for you there.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
All right, Well I mean hold on, let me see.
Let mean the padres is Scott Foster umpiring the padre? Now?
Is he?

Speaker 6 (17:52):
No?

Speaker 7 (17:53):
No?

Speaker 6 (17:53):
But we we made a lot of money on there.
But now it's in fult season, so not the Padres
but the poppy. How goal, that's the algorithm, and I'm
really loving the game. Tomorrow the Yankees are going to
be playing and New York of course against the Athletics,
the horrible team, and I'm loving the run line. Plus
it's minus one and a half. It's even money, guys.
So if the Yankees have to win by two months

(18:15):
or more, even money.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
I'm loving the Yankees. What do you think? Yeah, I don't.
I don't fuss around with the run line because uh no,
I don't. I don't. I don't play that game. I don't.

Speaker 6 (18:25):
Yeh, well, well, if you want to do, the money
line is minus yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
That's why I don't bet on teams that are that high.
Uh don't, don't worry about it, sayway, you got to
find a team that's got reasonable odds. Like for example,
why don't you bet on your Potters? You don't trust
Dylan sees the Potters are a small favorite against the Reds.
Why don't you take that game?

Speaker 6 (18:46):
Well that's true, but you know, then the road and
I don't know Cincinnati Reds dangerous, so anything.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
So you've leaeved the Potters are gonna lose. Otherwise you
bet on the Padres.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
Well, well, I.

Speaker 7 (18:58):
Mean I do love the Padres.

Speaker 6 (18:59):
But the thing about here we go, you're in an
educate Go ahead, educate me.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
I got to hear this.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
Yes, you don't want to You don't bet all the
time on your your love for the team and stuff
like that, because you'll be losing money. And yes, and
the Dodgers, and you love the Dodgers better the Dodger
all the time and make that bling bling you know.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Yeah, well you can't make a lot of money if
you if your team wins, if they lose, you're gonna
get thank you, go away, all right, there's a poppy.
Oh yeah, let's go to Parito. I see Purito there,
he's hanging out. He's in Coasta, Mesa, and so call me.

Oh my god, you're unloading on Lauren Sanchez. She was
a lovely lady back in the day. I don't know.
And I did see somebody send me a clip. I'm
trying to find it here that around around Venice people
have been putting up mannequins mocking Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez,
Like all over Venice.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
You see that, you know, I'm gonna have.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
I guess they're calling it art or something. But yeah,
and they're covered obviously covered in money and all that.
They have a lot of money. Good for them, my guy,
what's is there a prenup? They got to be a
prenup right.

Speaker 4 (21:00):

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Here you go, all right, anything else, Burrito, that's it.

Yeah, we're going to talk about the Bills. I think
next year, the Bills and the capre tent wearing McMichael
in Miami are both going to be blown out.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
McDaniel. Yeah, well, McDaniel definitely, McDaniel McDaniel definitely. He's he's
got some some winning to do or he's gone.

Speaker 7 (21:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
I think they're both going to get blown out. And
and I don't know if you heard the Windy say
about Bronnie, the Lakers are shopping them, trying to dump
them already.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Who are they trying to dump?

Speaker 1 (21:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
They're not gonna do as long as Lebron's there, Brownie's
going to be. They're not getting rid of bron All right,
Thank you the great Purrito from so Cow checking in.
We are going to have in a few minutes breeze cheese.
We have imaging for this. It's what do you say
were a pizza. Yeah, I'll eat the pizza later, but
not right now. Blind Scott is on the North end

(22:13):
of Boston. What a lightning round? People very upset with
Blind Scott. Hello, Blind Scott welcome.

Speaker 7 (22:18):
Oh hey yeah, nothing could be worth than Don Sweeney
and Craig Breasfell. Hey, Ben, do you believe it? That's like,
you know, IVY leagues are high to get into, but
once you get in, the school's really easy, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah, I said that for your that's my take. That
was my take. You're stealing my take. That was my take?
Oh really it was because yeah, it was my take
twelve years ago. That was my take.

Speaker 7 (22:37):
Oh you know, because I saw it from Fred one
of the there's a conservative.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Brett stole my take. That's my take out, Dare steel Man.
You can't steal someone else's take like that. That's take
thievery well.

Speaker 7 (22:48):
The Dartmouth is I didn't realize Dartmouth was conservative in
the IVY League. That's where Fred's father went, you know
what I mean? So did Don Sweeney and Craig Bretzel.
They didn't earn their IVY League. Yeah, you know, I
be league it's all. But yes, you know, I could
have gone to an Ivy League school. Like blind people
get propped up in the air that you can go
to Harvard if you're blind because of DEI you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Oh, here goes you go. You should go to Harvard.
They'd love you over there.

Speaker 7 (23:12):
Well, I worked there, actually I worked at. Me and
my dad worked there together because my dad, you know,
he's superintendent for construction company. I worked there. My dad
made me work with him because I got I got
kicked out of high school actually at a young age,
and he made me work with them every day for
like three years. That he used to take half my
paycheck and yell at me. And then I had a
drive too, and he couldn't sleep because we would drive

(23:33):
like eighty miles from Boston to work every day. But dude,
the Bruins, they put out that new Bruins jersey is
like a huge fail. And then when you go with
the Celtics, the Celtics are like they're like doing some
type of weird game. Like the guy who bought the
thing about the Celtics, this guy John Wallack. He's the
backup announcer for the Celtics. We want him to be

(23:53):
the radio guy next year for the Celtics because the
Celtics fan this guy, Chisholm. He listens to the Malachall.
Maybe he's a Boston sports dude, so he might make
a little swap. Put him in the radio seat. That
would be good for my career because I have connections.
I'm actually trying to get a job in radio. I
have a good radio voice. I have a passing for radio.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Everyone wants you to get a job as long as
you stop calling the show. They want you to get that.
All right, Well, why don't you call your mom? Then
go call your mom? You I mean, what are you doing?
I mean, come on? Do we need anything for breeze cheese?
Is anything that we need?

Speaker 5 (24:25):
Here?

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Any imaging? And we have everything good to go, ready
to go. Here are this is the maiden voyage here
radio history. Give it up for breeze cheese. Marcel, what
is your favorite type of cheese?

Speaker 7 (24:37):
All of favorite type of cheese, It will be cheeseburger.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Order it's breeze. Jesus.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Shout out to Lorraina and I who just edited the
imaging to make it sound like that. So that was
pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Shout out to Ricky patting yourself on the back there, Yes, okay,
saying there were some mistakes made in the bag.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
There was, there was, so we fixed it.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Goofed. I've got to know, I will not say the
guilty party's name. Ricky, Yes, Ricky with an R capital
ar Ricky?

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Did cheese has to do with drugs? Do you think
they have any interchangeable I'm not entirely sure.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
I will well code, there's cold language. So what is
the featured cheese today?

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Here?

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Okay, So I'm actually going to go over three cheeses.
And since we're in summertime, I felt like it would
be applicable.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
There's summer cheese.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
There's summer cheeses.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
You gotta be kidding me. I eat the same cheese
year round. Oh my god? All right, what is a
summer cheese?

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Okay? So my first one, yes, I went goat cheese.
Oh oh, I knew you were gonna have an issue.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
I can't handle goods.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Wait, but how have you had it?

Speaker 5 (25:41):
Can?

Speaker 2 (25:41):
I ask? I had it when I was much younger
and upset my stomach on crackers at some bar mitzvah
thing I was at and it was terrible.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
That's not that doesn't count.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Well, how else are you gonna eat it?

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Because there's obviously different ways I put my I do
crumbles in an omelet. That's an example. That's a great
way to do it. They're also yes, ah, so good
on them.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
With a fig burger.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
What with like a fig, like a spicy fig, like
a sweet spicy fig burger. And goat cheese and a rugola.
Have you had the blueberry goat cheese, yes, Trader Joe's.
So you put that on a cracker, Ben put that on?

Speaker 4 (26:21):
What?

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Go ahead? I put it on a cracker and all over.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
It's but you have to give it a try. You're
a different age, Do you have different tastes?

Speaker 2 (26:29):
I don't know about that, all right, So goat cheese
for the summer.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
That's the first.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Why is that a summer cheese? Goats do better in
the summer.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Is that there's just a lot of different things that
you can you can do with it, Like you can
put a goat cheese like crumbles in a salad, yeah,
with a rugola and strawberry with a little bit of
walnut strawberries. Okay, so the cheese and the acidity kind
of go together. So I'm talking to more about acidic
cheeses like go a pair. Well, okay, yeah, this is

(26:58):
this is high end. So that's my first cheese.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
By the way, major radio morning guys listening right now,
and he says, I will not eat goat cheese. It's
one of the only things I won't touch. Boom for really,
number one morning guy, and I'm telling you you guys
dominates the ratings.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
That's my That was number one. So we're gonna go to.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Number two, number two number.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Playing off the same. Okay, so number two, I'm gonna
go for my namesake, it's gonna be bree Cheese.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
And you were actually named People don't know. You were
named after the breech.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Literally the only mom.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Your sweet mother loved the bree cheese so much. The
only reason why I have that I must if I
have a daughter, she must need a named Brie.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
And the only reason again, going with a kind of
the acidity vibe. Some peaches, some grilled peaches, you kind
of just pare them up together. I know I'm staring
at your feet.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
No, No, I mean, I don't mind listen, bree, I
don't mind the breech. Oh really, minded, but I don't
need to mix it with fruit and stuff like that.
So what do you like?

Speaker 3 (28:00):
A charcuterie board out is an example of what you
can use it with.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah, see, I don't like that. Like we have parties
a couple of times a year at the house and
we have like a charcuterie board. I have nothing to
do with. That's my wife. I don't whatever. I'll put cheese.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Out, but okay, well you can also bake it too.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Bougie bie crust. Can you put it on a pizza? No? No,
I can't put on a pizza with me.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Make some mushrooms maybe like a flatbread kind.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Of guy, but that's fungus. What's wrong mushrooms? Fungus?

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Okay, well, on a flatbread it could work. That's just
another possibility. With like a nice like glass of wine,
like sparkling wine, you know what I mean. And you
can't eat the riines. Loreina just mentioned that you can't
eat wine and cheese wine and cheese crowd anyways, Okay,
there's also you can also put it in a sandwich
with some sliced apples and like.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Some apple cheese, oh turkey, okay, okay, And.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
There's some liced green apples with some free Yes, it
does not sound delicious.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Delicious is the word. At least it's better than the
goat cheese. Okay, Felsi And by the way, to our
live coverage, this is the maiden voyage.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
We did do this one time before with Eddie.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Well, we didn't have imaging.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
We did not know and so my last cheese wonderful.
I'm saving the best for last. And number one, we
when we think of summer, we think of like the beach, right,
and like I love to pack sandwiches.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Of course you would go to the beach, of course,
the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
And so I love like baguettes, like rolls, okay, okay,
roll and like it's calenda right delicious, So like an
Italian sub you got some genoa like the the which
we called pepperone. I don't do that. You don't do
the my sandwiches for right now, not in this specific segments.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Certain gentleman in Florida right now is rolling his eyes.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Which cheese goes on my sand I'm gonna get there,
So I'm I'm naming. No, it's not a cheese. So
I'm talking about I love pastramia. I'm just delicious meat.
Let me tell you about my meat.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
That's a different segment.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Okay, anyway, you let me tell you about my meat.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
So we got some solami, some lettuce, tomato, Italian dressing,
and like usually it's like an Italian sub. Maybe you
put like some provolone or American.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Okay, but Tony Bruno used to work your big radio start.
He told me the only way to eat a cheese steak.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Okay, what about the cheese steak. Of course, that's a
hot sandwich. That's like winter bree cheese. We're like five
months from that. Okay. Parmesan like sliced parmesan, like a
thick cut of parmesan in that Italian sub. Can you
have you ever had parmesan cheese in your sub?

Speaker 2 (30:58):
I have? Yeah, I don't mind it does that sounds okay?

Speaker 3 (31:02):
So you don't know how that sounds.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
No, it's good, it's good.

Speaker 6 (31:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Parmesan's cheese is so strong, though, but with and it's
so dry with a salami.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Red the toppings or whatever you know, with turkey too,
if you want, you mix it up there and.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
The Italian stuff. So that's why I'm like sandwichee. You
know summary, I feel you right, so give it a try.
And that's because parmesan you think of chicken parmesan, you
think of egg plant parmesan. I kind of went the
cold route instead of like a sprinkled on like a
caesar salad.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Let's put them in the sandwich and next week we'll
be doing cheddar cheese if you're coming up next week,
or the.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Cheeses.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
And there it is the debut with imaging of breeze cheese.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
That was the perfect length of bed though it literally
just ended right now.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Okay, that's what we want. Let's say hello to who
do we have here? Cowboy John brad and Windsor, Ontario,
a fine Canadian lad, Hello cowboy.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
In twenty fifth nineteen fifty nine, Charles Starkweather, who killed
eleven people throughout the Midwest in fifty eight and fifty nine,
was executed. His fourteen year old girlfriend, Carol Ann Tugate
got life imprisonment but was release in nineteen seventy six.
She's eighty one years old, and Derek Jeter was fifty

(32:23):
one yesterday. Frank Robinson and al Cayline, who a lot
of people thought would have won the sixty seven Batting
Championships were injured the Orioles Robinson on a hard flight
in the second basement al Weiss of the White Sox
and Cayline after he got struck out by Le Cleveland.

(32:44):
Indian Sam McDonald went back to the bat rack and
slammed his bat back into the bat rack and the
bat rebounded and broke his third finger on his right hand,
and he was out for two months. The Tigers lost
the pennant on the Alaska of the season, so that
probably was was act that cost him a sixty seven tenant.

(33:05):
And John Whistle, the Who and then later Ox Basis
died twenty three years ago today of a heart attack
at age of fifty seven. One hundred and eleven years
ago tomorrow was the act that began World War two?
Was a Serbian nationalist named Gabriello pincepp assassinated Austrian ach

(33:27):
Duke Ferdinand Franz Ferdinand and his wife Princess. I believe
world War two started next month and al Downing was surrendered.
Hit me here in the seven hundred and fifty fifth
home run.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Of the eighty four Happy Birthday.

Speaker 5 (33:42):
Yeah you know he used to picture for the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Yes, hosted Dodger Talk two years ago.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know he's one of my
favorite ball But at the pitch off forty nine years
ago tomorrow Tiger's Mark Fittert announced himself for the rest
of the baseball will to fight the one victory? Yes, okay,
few people on Monday Memory. You've got to be a
boy to be a cowboy.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
There he goes, cowboy John bred where he goes only
he knows. Very controversial the breeze cheese segment. Some people
love it. Tammy in Vegas h fine woman. We met
her at the meat and greet we did last year
in Vegas. She says she loved breeze cheese.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
I love that Tammy. She is so sweet.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
She's a very nice woman. And Alf the Alien Pino,
though he's not happy. He says, if goat cheese is
so great, why does it have to be paid with
other foods to prop it up? Great cheeses can stand
on their own legs. I eat goat cheese alone, just
so you know.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
I'll eat it with a spoon or a knife and
just suck on it.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
You're an animal. You're an animal. That's a drop. Ferg
Dog says, does bree have a podcast about all things cheese?

cheese was, but he's into it now. He likes it.
