Speaker 1 (00:00):
Same old, same old.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our numb berth three, as we scream from the
bully pulpit, give me your reaction to the hipster coach
Mike McDaniel saying that Tua tongue of Iloa's performance for
Miami was quote less than to be desired.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
That's being called criticism.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Giants Wide receiver from Elite Neighbors is downplaying, downplaying his
animated sideline hissy fit with coach Brian Dayball during the
loss to the Commanders, but acknowledged he needs to be
more conscious of the cameras.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Being on him. What do you make of all that?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
And Jerry Jones declaring that he did not violate any
NFL rules by ghosting Micah Parson's agent.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Can you put into context what that means? Will attempt
to move the needle, at least the VU meter here.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
In our number three. Something smells a little fishy. There's
something that smells a little fishy. Welcome in Love, beginning
of another hour.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
As we are in the air, everywhere, com mingling, as
we are whining and trying not to be declining, coast
to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast
and wicked powerful microphones of FSR. That's what Danny DeVito
says there in Boston and monating live from the house.
(01:30):
Whose House, the boisterous, rowdy roughhouse from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by the number one
Burner account. He's a big fan, big fan that Burner
account not as active as he used to be on.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
The social media channels.

So if you want to ask questions other than sporty,
we'll be more than happy to answer those. Coming up
a little bit later in the hour after the Riddle
of the Day and the Malard monologue.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But that is where we begin. That is where we
begin our lead this hour, our in.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Depth team coverage continues from South Beach, Baby, where the
weather's good and the football's bad. More about that sad
sack Miami football team. Like a moth to the flame.
We love suck. We can't get enough of suck on
sports radio.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
And here we are.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So if you have not heard the latest on this,
the Dolphins hipster coach Mike McDaniel, who's hanging on by
his fingernails. Now he spoke critically. This is the headline
all on the internet. McDaniel comes out criticizes his quarterback.
So they're claiming that he spoke critically of the play
of quarterback Tua Tongue.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Of I Loa.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Now, this is just a couple of days after Tua
decided to go on the vomit comet at Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
You remember the Dolphins were down.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Thirty to nothing to Daniel Jones and Tua decided you
get a turnover, you get a turnover.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
He was like he was working at a bakery.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So here is Mike McDaniel's commentary on his quarterback to
a tongue of Ila's slightly different than when like a
guy like Jim Harbaugh talks about his quarterback.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But here's Mike McDaniel. Let's go to the audio tape.
Take a list.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I think I saw, uh, you know, quarterback play that
was less than to be desired, which to h absolutely knows,
but that was he's the captain of the franchise quarterback
and everybody kind of fell victim to something similar. I
also know that he's uhh, very.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Very much.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Like a lot most quarterbacks, to be honest, where you're
putting a lot of work into something and your first
time doing it for a collective four quarters in months,
you're not at your best.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Okay, you know what it's time for. I haven't done
this in a long time. We've got to play the game.
I gotta I gotta do it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So the game is this is where we play the
sound bite again and then we tried now we heard it.
I wasn't counting that SoundBite is.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I'm counting ms.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
It's a great game. It's the UM game, Larina, you're.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Gonna play coop, You're gonna play the UM game. So
we'll try to guess. That was a forty second SoundBite.
I believe is that correct?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Forty three forty three seconds. That's a long SoundBite.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
So before we get into the meat of the mal monologue,
let's try to guess how many ums Mike McDaniel, said,
the spokesman for the Miami Dolphins football team, a multi
billion dollar franchise.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Now we'll do.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Ums and US. I count us as ums. So ums
and us?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Does everyone know the rules? Does everyone know the rule changes?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
I had a guess in my head, But now that
you added the uzz in there, that okay.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Now you listening as well. I would like you to
keep track of this and you can play the game.
You'll be the silent, silent game player. So again, we're
playing the game. It's the UM and US game with
Mike McDaniel, head coach of your Miami Dolphins. We're gonna
try to out of guess how many ums in As
Mike McDaniel said in a forty three second SoundBite, I am.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Going to guess twenty one, twenty one, ums and us.
That is my guest, Lorena, what.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Say you great guess, Ben, I'm gonna go through sixty two.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Oh, that's a terrible guess. That's a horrible guess. You
have no chance of waitering, idiot, You have no chance
of wording. All right, cool a loop, go ahead, cool please.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
So when we were just thinking arms, I was thinking
like thirteen okay, So adding the uzz there was like
a couple that were like rapid fire up. Yeah they were.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It was a machine gun style. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
So I'm gonna twenty three. Wait is that what you said?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I said, See, now you're gonna box me? I said
twenty one.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Oh okay, yeah, twenty three.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Okay, you guys always do this. Well he no, he
bought he That was a I can't say what I
want to say.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
That was a bad move by Coop because he wanted
to go last, because he wanted to box me in.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
No, I just I wasn't you know, I needed to
think about all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Let's here we go.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
All right, everyone quiet on the set. You listen, you
locked your betch and you listener, lock your betch and no,
here we go. This is the Mike McDaniel, I'm an
ug game and we'll count. Here we go, and let's
go to the audio tape.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I think I saw, uh, you know, quarterback play that
was less than to be desired, which to h absolutely knows,
but that was he's the captain of the franchise quarterback
and everybody kind of fell victim to something similar. I
also know that he's uh, very very much like a
(07:40):
lot most quarterbacks, to be honest, where you're putting a
lot of work into something and your first time doing
it for a collective four quarters in months, you're not
at your best.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Wow, I got we overshot that, I got way over
shot that I counted.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I counted ten.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Okay, I counted twelve.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Man, that's the worst game ever. I thought I was.
I was convinced when I heard that the first time.
It sounded like all he did was say and was off.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I mean, twelve is still a lot, and that is
a lot for a professional coach. All right, well we
ruined that game, but let us discuss all right, all right, give.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Me ben, Oh, no, where'd you go? No, you're kidding,
there's no.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Way we've been cursed.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
This game is still one.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Did it do?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
All right?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Well, the Gremlins have a t hold on, hold on,
hold on here, hold on.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Oh my goodness, we might have have a ben calling
in right now.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
I beg all right, we are, we are continuing. The
Gremlins will not win. We have a rule here, the
Gremlins will not win. Never, never will we allow the gremlins.
I just want you to know that I absolutely nailed
the last couple of minutes of the malt Of monologue.
Absolutely killed it. Uh So, I don't know where where
(09:30):
was I, Laura, you weren't even listening either, were you
were not listening?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
No, No, I tried to talk to you.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
You just disappeared into the wilderness.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Yeah. So I was essentially talking to myself, is what
I was. I was screaming into the powerful microphone here
and the only person listening they're not really people that
the gremlins. So the gremlins really so, so what you know,
I had some bullet points so that I was trying to.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Get to the Gremlins attacked right after we finished the game.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
We all right, Well, I had asked the question and
then I answered the question like a lunatic, and no
one heard that. So we played the Mike McDaniel SoundBite
and we were completely wrong on that and so then
my my whole point was, like, what was the reacting
(10:21):
Because the headlines all over the internet where Mike McDaniel
says to his performing he criticized too and all that.
So my reaction was, I love that this counts as
tough love, Like this is like your death spot. You're
a drill sergeant, you're a boot camp. I think that's lit.
Like to me, that is soft sirt, like like that's
(10:45):
not faint phrase, that's that's fainting on stage is what
that is. The the quirky mastermind with the laminated play
sheet and all that stuff, and it's like McDaniel, he
could have just come out to listen to a suck,
you know, to to what was bad without saying those
words stumble bum By by Mike McDaniel. And we had
(11:07):
some fun with it, but it sounds he sounds like
a guy McDaniel, like he's he's on a casting call,
auditioning for a starring role in you know, if they
were to make another Cheech and Chong movie or a remaker,
you know, the whole thing. He's always fumbling around with
his words, filling the silence with ums and us and
(11:27):
all that. He always sounds like we see a lot
of discus. He sounds like McDaniel. He just smoked the
ball in the parking lot and then walked into the
press conference like here, I am, what's up guys? And uh,
there's also a little bit of stage fright, like public
speaking is not my thing either. I said, well, you
do a radio show, you must be in the published
meaning why I do this? But when I go out
(11:49):
and have to speak every once in a while at events,
it's not really my favorite thing to do. It is not.
And so he needed those filler words. It's a word sound,
it's um. So it's the fillibus, just like political people
when they're caught off guard and they just make a salad.
(12:09):
It's a word salad and all that stuff. So one
thing I am sure of, thousand percent sure of, is
no matter what, no matter what happens, these two are
tied together. It's not like the Dolphins are going to
get rid of Touau and keep Mike McDaniel, or keep
Tua and get rid of Mike McDaniel. When they blow
(12:33):
this thing up, they're going to get rid of everybody.
They have a new general manager in Miami, and Tua
has got a lot of job security, not only because
he has a two hundred twelve million dollar contract, but
also the fact that you've got Zach Wilson and Quinn
Yours for the backup. That is job security is what
that is now. Secondly, in New York, the story that
(12:56):
I wanted to get into with you is about Molik Neighbors,
who was trying to downplay I don't if you saw
this or not, but he's trying to downplay got to
her fluffle on the sidelines with Brian Bayball during the
loss to the Commanders, and he's trying to downplay it
Elite Neighbors. He did acknowledge though, that he needs to
(13:16):
be more conscious of the cameras being on him, and
so as far as that might take on that Neighbors,
it's one of my pet pieces because Elite Neighbors wants
to us to believe that this is a blown out
of proportion situation and the reason that bothers me. Let
(13:37):
me tell you why, because this is the default response
of the NFL in twenty twenty five. Everything is blown
out of proportion, and as my friend Jay Scoop likes
to say that's bullpucky, is what that is. If you
don't want people reacting to your behavior on the sideline,
you know, maybe just maybe don't do what you do?
(14:00):
Is I know, heat of the moment all that stuff.
But that's generally any reasonable person that has a passion
for pigskin would say that malite neighbors look like he
was ready to strangle the head coach of the dolphins.
That's not a natural faith that. The body language all that.
(14:22):
And there's something that we brought up quite a bit
over the years talking about body language and big body
language guy, the slumping shoulders, the flexing with your fingers,
of the whole thing. It does tell a lot. And
there's a it's called the seven thirty eight fifty five rule,
which is not a great name for a rule, truly,
(14:43):
not a great name for the rule. They should come
up with something better than that. That's a terrible name
for the rule, but it's estifically this seven percent of
our communication as human beings, me and you. Seven percent
is body language, right, That's that's it. Thirty eight percent
is tone? Am I happy? Wait? Am I said boo?
(15:10):
Like that? Old thing right, So that's thirty eight percent,
so it worth to forty five percent, but fifty five
percent is body language. Fifty five percent is body language
and elite neighbors body language said I hate my quarterback,
I really don't like my coach. I really don't want
to be playing for the Giants. Now he came out.
He gave a cute explanation with leak neighbors. He said
(15:33):
he's got to NBF. He said natural bitch face. That's
his quote. I didn't say that. He said that's however,
to me, that is still it's still an excuse. The
target share wasn't the issue. He was targeted quite a bit.
He didn't catch most of the passes that were thrown
(15:53):
his way, but in terms of times being targeted and
all that, he was certainly targeted. I think twelve times,
which is more than enough for a headline receiver in
the NFL to get targeted that many times you only
caught five passes. So there was an issue being on
the same page with Russell Wilson, and when things break down,
(16:13):
you wear it on your face. It was like a
times square neon billboard, you know, giving similar energy to
Odell Beckham and every sideline shot becomes a soap opera.
But that boat is everywhere. It's just enhanced with the giants.
You think TV cut to Brian Dayball and Malik Neighbors
(16:34):
because they just want to do a check in and
see how they're doing. They smelled drama, blood in the
water and the sideline scowl and all that. And so
if you don't like that, you shouldn't play in the NFL.
Maybe you go to Jacksonville. It won't matter as much.
So there's that our final thought. Quickly as we wait
for the gremlins to leave the building. So a maid
(16:58):
complaint there in Dallas. Jerry Jones this week responded to
people upset that he did not negotiate with Michaeh Parson's
agent prior to trading him to the Green Bay Packers.
During his radio show, Jerry Jones said, there is no violation.
He said, that's about a rules violation. He says, no
violation because he has all the authority in the world
(17:21):
and the player has all the authority in the world
to negotiate directly with me. Jerry said, so real quick.
Jerry Jones, declaring that he did not violate any NFL
rules by ghosting Michael Parson's agent. So let's put that
into some context. So Jerry, the way I read this,
Jerry treating the NFL like he's Pony Soprano running the
(17:44):
bottom bings, right. He basically told the NFL forget about it,
no rules violated because Jerry's rules are the rules. It's
the soprano code that he's the boss, and he's the boss.
The bosses capeche like. Jerry did not negotiate with the
agent because he doesn't respect middleman. He went full Tony soprano.
(18:08):
He cut out the guide, taking a percentage, and flid
the envelope of cash right across the table to Michael
Parson said, here's the envelope and and that's it. And
it's like the whole mindset is I'm the one who
makes the money. I decide where the money goes. That's Jerry.
That's what he did. And I love the fact now
that he's double dog daring, that Jerry Jones is double
(18:30):
dog daring Roger Goodell to whack him with, you know,
some kind of punishment. It's like good plussed, well, you
gonna to punish me. And the other part of this
which is great. The NFL Players Association is freaking out.
You didn't talk to the agent, you didn't fall over
the rules. And Jerry's like, I don't care. And he's
sitting there chopping on a cigar and he's drinking a
(18:52):
nice cocktail and he's like, Hey, my family, it's my team,
it's my rules, it's my way. And that's that's how
Jerry does it, and so is the Ben Mahlor Show.
So I think what we'll do here, unless the gremlins
leave us, will just have an extended couple of segments
of ask men. Who says no. Nobody says no to
ask Ben. People love asking. So if you'd like to
(19:14):

and your questions will be read for the rest of
the hour and you can send those in on x
at ask Ben. The riddle of the Day hashtag ask Ben.

(19:35):
Dakota State football player has been cut from the schools
team after he blanked. A North Dakota State University football
player has been cut from the schools team after he blanked.
That is the malor riddle. Of the day as we
wait for the gremlins to go away, and we will
(19:55):
get to ask Ben for the rest of the hour,
we'll get to that. We will do it, Matt.

Now back to the regular show, and we've got to
play off the mallor riddle of the day, the malor
riddle of Then we'll get right in to ask Ben
your questions our answers. So here is the malor riddle
(22:59):
of the day. North Dakota State football player has been
cut from the schools team after he blanked. So that
is the question. What is the answer? Late Night drug
tester says he was caught with the farmer's daughter. Interesting,
all right. King Roy says he made an airplane joke.
That's not polite. Who else do we have page down?
(23:21):
Al the alienal Finer says after he was caught in
a hot stub with the dean's wife and daughter. Wow,
very specifically, Yeah, after he professed his love for the Gretlins,
I cut him too, says Ferg dog Andy in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota,
says the answer to the rid of the day. The
(23:44):
player from North Dakota got cut after he was caught
serving buffalo chips to visiting teams. That's what he had
to say. Who else do we have? Let's see page down,
page down. He was cut from the team for showing
support for the Grevlins attacking the studio. That was big
Greg and Iowa were soaking his jockstrap and the team
(24:07):
datorade cooler. Well that's not very nice. That's not good.
Who else do we have? Fades down? I can't read
that he took blind Scott lunch. According to Femy, the
top uber eats driver there in Minnesota. All right, that's enough, Larena,
do you have an answer again? The Mallard Riddle of
the day. A North Dakota State University football player has
(24:31):
been cut from the school team after he blanked.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
After he blinked Yeah, he was caught graffitiing the bathrooms.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Oh, you should never graffiti the bathroom. Although it's rather
you graffiti the bathroom than destroy the bathroom. But that
is incorrect, Unfortunately, the correct answer. This North Dakota State
University football player has been cut after the team from
the team school after he was arrested and accused of
stealing a bat containing more than two hundred and seventy
(25:03):
thousand dollars. You're probably wondering, You're probably wondering, how did
a bag have two hundred and seventy thousand dollars? And
how does a college kid find a bag with two
hunred seventy thousand dollars with his snuff? Well, he was
he was apparently at a cabin near a boat, and
(25:24):
he went on to a boat like a yacht. This
is that on the fourth of July, dreadful. Well, it
was late Minnetonka. There was like a Rolllex watch, there
must have been a few Rolex watches in there and
some other stuff and it was a big bag and
so he just like took the bag. What's in the bag?
And yeah, yeah, so he's facing some you know, some
(25:46):
criminal situations. So there you go. That is the Mallard
riddle of the day, and that leaves us right into
let's see here, what do we have.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Really more now, time for time more.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
I ask bag is your questions on Twitter now.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
And it is ask Ben. Your questions are answers for
the rest of the hour the extended dance remix and
it's possible by the Grenlins. We're very excited about that.
So we need.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
A lot of questions, so keep those questions coming in
hashtag asked fan, hashtag asked Ben. And now for the
reading of the questions and the kooperloop.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
All right, we're going to start off with a question
from Shane in Des Moines. He would like to know
where were you during the nine to eleven attacks. This
is for the whole crew.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
H Yeah, So I was working here at Fox Sports Radio.
I was actually doing updates at that time. I was
working on the Fox lot on Fairfax in West West,
LA and we were, you know, we just did news
updates during the day. And then they they were worried
(27:02):
actually that there was they were going to attack the
Fox studios, the TV, the movie studios over there. So
then they started like evacuating people, but they didn't evacuate
us because we had to stay on the air and
all this. It was. It was a crazy day, obviously,
but I was working in Fox Sports Radio doing updates
and uh yeah, I will always remember that obviously. That
(27:25):
was one of the big days in my life. What
about you have, Loraina? What were you doing way back
on nine to eleven?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I was walking to my third grade class.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
And oh my god.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
And I remember stopping at missus Summer's class and everyone
was staring at the TVs.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
And I was like, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (27:46):
And my teacher was just crying and I was like, Oh,
this is serious.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Yeah, I was really young.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Yeah, oh wow, I get you. You're that's that's like
an age flex. What you did there is an age flex,
an age flex with that. I often remember when I
woke up, I had an early shift, and I mean
I was working nights mostly back then, but I had
to do an early shift and I still remember my
alarm went off and I heard, you know, it was
a clock radio back then, and I had there was
(28:15):
an emergency broadcast alert because it was in between the
first plane and the second plane, and I remember hearing
the emergency broadcast saying. I was like, I thought I
was dreaming because that had never been activated in my life.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
And do you hear that? When you ever hear that?
Speaker 6 (28:32):
Well, that was the only time I've ever heard it.
I don't know, maybe it's been activated since then, but
that was it. So I remember that too. I was like,
I thought I was dreaming. I was like, yeah, it's
in the same what about you, Coop.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I'm pretty sure that when it happened, I was I
was sleeping.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Yeah, that was early, it was like five in the morning.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Yeah. But then I do remember my mom waking me up.
She was on the phone with my grandma, who uh
lived in Brooklyn her entire life, and so she was
like giving the play by play to my mom over
the phone and then my Mom's like, we're under attack,
(29:10):
and I'm like, what what is happening? Yeah, and then
we still went to school and it was just it
was weird. It was a weird vibe that entire day.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah. I also remember my my brother lives in Manhattan,
so not that far away, you know, these doesn't live
down on the southern part of that. But my mom
makes you rest me. She was freaking out because my
sister in Ma was pregnant at the time, and she was,
Oh my God like that made it even worse. So
I just everyone was panicking that day. Anyway, all right,
(29:46):
it's ass been. Your questions are answers for the rest
of the hour. What is next? What do we have
next year?
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Lady Sideburns, Hi, Lady Sideburns. I would like to know
have any of you ever tried dog or cat food?
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Why? Why would you? No? No, I'm not no. I
think a better question would be A better question would be,
if you were to eat dog or cat food, would
you eat the wet variety or the other variety? Like
(30:25):
which variety would you eat? If you were to eat
the food? That's I think you've got to eat the
country variety.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
I think right well, I think based off the look
Lorena and I shared, I think both of our answers
are different from yours, Lorena.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
So you know those brothers I talked about with the spit, Yeah,
they used to hold me down and shove bacon strips
in my mouth.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
How old were you?
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Seven?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Eight?
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Six five?
Speaker 6 (31:01):
You still this is a traumatic memory? You still remember this? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (31:04):
And then you know I used to just share them
with my dog after that we'd kind of just lay
in the backyard and share some Bagan strips.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
Oh my god, so you like to taste them?
Speaker 5 (31:12):
You kept eating the worst things I've had worse.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Yeah, you could look like that.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Well, I guess, I guess mine's the worst because you
were being forced.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I know.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
I tried. I just when I was a kid. I
was like, I'll try it, like I don't know, uh,
and and I tried both the wet and the dry food.
What about wet cat food? Though you haven't done that. No,
I haven't tried cat food.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Crossing the line.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
I didn't have a cat until I was an adult.
So do you ever smell it and wonder? No, not
with the cat food. The cat food smells disgusting. But
but that's what made me try the dog food as
a kid, Like you would open the web and I
thought that smells kind of good. I was like, yeah,
I was like, this smells delicious. Honestly, it wasn't. It
was not.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
No, you look up like what it's made, like the
types of the worst quality of meat that's not for
human consumption. They usually they give they give the dogs.
I mean that's usually what they Maybe it's better now
but I don't even think it is. I remember when
I was working early in my radio radio career, there
was a guy he had worked in Iowa for a
(32:20):
while and he had given like the cattle, like the
pipes of beef. He gave this the on the on
the radio and he's explaining to me, like the different
the different different meats, and I remember, like, there's the lowest.
I don't think you even have anymore. It's called four
D beef. It was dead disease, dying disabled beef, and.
Speaker 10 (32:39):
And that was that was what went to dog food.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
And but for a while they were serving it like
fast food restaurants and they stopped. The government got involved
in to stop doing that.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
It's asked, but why do we falls to the coff

Speaker 4 (35:07):
All right, late late night drug tester would like to
know do you sleep on top of or under your
bed sheet?
Speaker 6 (35:16):
So it depends on the season. I like to sleep
in a morgue. My ideal conditions are about as cold
as you can pop about. I don't sleep well as
it's hot, so I generally speaking, will be under blankets
because I'll blast even in winter time. I'll like, he
doesn't get that cold, but we live. But I'll put
(35:37):
the I'll put the ac on, put a fan on.
I gotta have some white noise in the background and
all that stuff. So yeah, I'm an under the blanky guy.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
What about you of a rain definitely depends on the
season and how cold it is in the room. I
will get all the way up underneath those blankets, like
head all the way under and tuck my whole body in.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
The question is about the sheet, That's what I'm.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Saying, all the way up under the sheets, right, it's
whether it's it's really coold or not. And if it's not,
I'll just get underneath the regular sheet on top of
my bed.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
Who did not like your ant?
Speaker 4 (36:08):
I'm just like you know, because it's different. I'm always
underneath the sheet. My wife is always on top of
the sheet. It creates problems. It's very he misplaced his anger.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
There's a wall divide between and.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Then she like she'll toss and turn and it screws
up the bed sheets. And then so then I when
I go to get in bed, like I can't get
under the sheet. And I always need to be under
the sheet, no matter the season. In the summertime, when
it's too hot, I'll just I'll just take the the
we'll take the comforter off the bed and it's just
the sheet. Yeah, But no matter what, I'm under the sheet.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
Yeah, I'm the same way. Quickly, what have we got? Quickly? Quickly?
Speaker 4 (36:48):
This is for you, Ben, what's the best and worst
part of working with Tom Looney?
Speaker 6 (36:55):
Well, the worst part is that he won't shut off
and uh the the top against the best part is
he also won't shut up. Yeah, he's the man to talk.
He just keeps talking over and over. He loves Nobody
loves talking about themselves more than Tom Looney. No one,
no one loves
Same old, same old.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our numb berth three, as we scream from the
bully pulpit, give me your reaction to the hipster coach
Mike McDaniel saying that Tua tongue of Iloa's performance for
Miami was quote less than to be desired.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
That's being called criticism.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Giants Wide receiver from Elite Neighbors is downplaying, downplaying his
animated sideline hissy fit with coach Brian Dayball during the
loss to the Commanders, but acknowledged he needs to be
more conscious of the cameras.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Being on him. What do you make of all that?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
And Jerry Jones declaring that he did not violate any
NFL rules by ghosting Micah Parson's agent.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Can you put into context what that means? Will attempt
to move the needle, at least the VU meter here.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
In our number three. Something smells a little fishy. There's
something that smells a little fishy. Welcome in Love, beginning
of another hour.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Of the Ben Mahlor Show.

we'll be more than happy to answer those. Coming up
a little bit later in the hour after the Riddle
of the Day and the Malard monologue.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But that is where we begin. That is where we
begin our lead this hour, our in.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Depth team coverage continues from South Beach, Baby, where the
weather's good and the football's bad. More about that sad
sack Miami football team. Like a moth to the flame.
We love suck. We can't get enough of suck on
sports radio.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
And here we are.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So if you have not heard the latest on this,
the Dolphins hipster coach Mike McDaniel, who's hanging on by
his fingernails. Now he spoke critically. This is the headline
all on the internet. McDaniel comes out criticizes his quarterback.
So they're claiming that he spoke critically of the play
of quarterback Tua Tongue.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Of I Loa.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Now, this is just a couple of days after Tua
decided to go on the vomit comet at Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
You remember the Dolphins were down.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Thirty to nothing to Daniel Jones and Tua decided you
get a turnover, you get a turnover.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
He was like he was working at a bakery.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So here is Mike McDaniel's commentary on his quarterback to
a tongue of Ila's slightly different than when like a
guy like Jim Harbaugh talks about his quarterback.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But here's Mike McDaniel. Let's go to the audio tape.
Take a list.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I think I saw, uh, you know, quarterback play that
was less than to be desired, which to h absolutely knows,
but that was he's the captain of the franchise quarterback
and everybody kind of fell victim to something similar. I
also know that he's uhh, very.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Very much.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Like a lot most quarterbacks, to be honest, where you're
putting a lot of work into something and your first
time doing it for a collective four quarters in months,
you're not at your best.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Okay, you know what it's time for. I haven't done
this in a long time. We've got to play the game.
I gotta I gotta do it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So the game is this is where we play the
sound bite again and then we tried now we heard it.
I wasn't counting that SoundBite is.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I'm counting ms.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
It's a great game. It's the UM game, Larina, you're.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Gonna play coop, You're gonna play the UM game. So
we'll try to guess. That was a forty second SoundBite.
I believe is that correct?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Forty three forty three seconds. That's a long SoundBite.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
So before we get into the meat of the mal monologue,
let's try to guess how many ums Mike McDaniel, said,
the spokesman for the Miami Dolphins football team, a multi
billion dollar franchise.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Now we'll do.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Ums and US. I count us as ums. So ums
and us?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Does everyone know the rules? Does everyone know the rule changes?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
I had a guess in my head, But now that
you added the uzz in there, that okay.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Now you listening as well. I would like you to
keep track of this and you can play the game.
You'll be the silent, silent game player. So again, we're
playing the game. It's the UM and US game with
Mike McDaniel, head coach of your Miami Dolphins. We're gonna
try to out of guess how many ums in As
Mike McDaniel said in a forty three second SoundBite, I am.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Going to guess twenty one, twenty one, ums and us.
That is my guest, Lorena, what.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Say you great guess, Ben, I'm gonna go through sixty two.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Oh, that's a terrible guess. That's a horrible guess. You
have no chance of waitering, idiot, You have no chance
of wording. All right, cool a loop, go ahead, cool please.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
So when we were just thinking arms, I was thinking
like thirteen okay, So adding the uzz there was like
a couple that were like rapid fire up. Yeah they were.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It was a machine gun style. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
So I'm gonna twenty three. Wait is that what you said?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I said, See, now you're gonna box me? I said
twenty one.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Oh okay, yeah, twenty three.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Okay, you guys always do this. Well he no, he
bought he That was a I can't say what I
want to say.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
That was a bad move by Coop because he wanted
to go last, because he wanted to box me in.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
No, I just I wasn't you know, I needed to
think about all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Let's here we go.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
All right, everyone quiet on the set. You listen, you
locked your betch and you listener, lock your betch and no,
here we go. This is the Mike McDaniel, I'm an
ug game and we'll count. Here we go, and let's
go to the audio tape.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I think I saw, uh, you know, quarterback play that
was less than to be desired, which to h absolutely knows,
but that was he's the captain of the franchise quarterback
and everybody kind of fell victim to something similar. I
also know that he's uh, very very much like a
(07:40):
lot most quarterbacks, to be honest, where you're putting a
lot of work into something and your first time doing
it for a collective four quarters in months, you're not
at your best.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Wow, I got we overshot that, I got way over
shot that I counted.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I counted ten.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Okay, I counted twelve.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Man, that's the worst game ever. I thought I was.
I was convinced when I heard that the first time.
It sounded like all he did was say and was off.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I mean, twelve is still a lot, and that is
a lot for a professional coach. All right, well we
ruined that game, but let us discuss all right, all right, give.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Me ben, Oh, no, where'd you go? No, you're kidding,
there's no.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Way we've been cursed.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
This game is still one.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Did it do?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
All right?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Well, the Gremlins have a t hold on, hold on,
hold on here, hold on.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Oh my goodness, we might have have a ben calling
in right now.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
I beg all right, we are, we are continuing. The
Gremlins will not win. We have a rule here, the
Gremlins will not win. Never, never will we allow the gremlins.
I just want you to know that I absolutely nailed
the last couple of minutes of the malt Of monologue.
Absolutely killed it. Uh So, I don't know where where
(09:30):
was I, Laura, you weren't even listening either, were you
were not listening?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
No, No, I tried to talk to you.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
You just disappeared into the wilderness.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Yeah. So I was essentially talking to myself, is what
I was. I was screaming into the powerful microphone here
and the only person listening they're not really people that
the gremlins. So the gremlins really so, so what you know,
I had some bullet points so that I was trying to.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Get to the Gremlins attacked right after we finished the game.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
We all right, Well, I had asked the question and
then I answered the question like a lunatic, and no
one heard that. So we played the Mike McDaniel SoundBite
and we were completely wrong on that and so then
my my whole point was, like, what was the reacting
(10:21):
Because the headlines all over the internet where Mike McDaniel
says to his performing he criticized too and all that.
So my reaction was, I love that this counts as
tough love, Like this is like your death spot. You're
a drill sergeant, you're a boot camp. I think that's lit.
Like to me, that is soft sirt, like like that's
(10:45):
not faint phrase, that's that's fainting on stage is what
that is. The the quirky mastermind with the laminated play
sheet and all that stuff, and it's like McDaniel, he
could have just come out to listen to a suck,
you know, to to what was bad without saying those
words stumble bum By by Mike McDaniel. And we had
(11:07):
some fun with it, but it sounds he sounds like
a guy McDaniel, like he's he's on a casting call,
auditioning for a starring role in you know, if they
were to make another Cheech and Chong movie or a remaker,
you know, the whole thing. He's always fumbling around with
his words, filling the silence with ums and us and
(11:27):
all that. He always sounds like we see a lot
of discus. He sounds like McDaniel. He just smoked the
ball in the parking lot and then walked into the
press conference like here, I am, what's up guys? And uh,
there's also a little bit of stage fright, like public
speaking is not my thing either. I said, well, you
do a radio show, you must be in the published
meaning why I do this? But when I go out
(11:49):
and have to speak every once in a while at events,
it's not really my favorite thing to do. It is not.
And so he needed those filler words. It's a word sound,
it's um. So it's the fillibus, just like political people
when they're caught off guard and they just make a salad.
(12:09):
It's a word salad and all that stuff. So one
thing I am sure of, thousand percent sure of, is
no matter what, no matter what happens, these two are
tied together. It's not like the Dolphins are going to
get rid of Touau and keep Mike McDaniel, or keep
Tua and get rid of Mike McDaniel. When they blow
(12:33):
this thing up, they're going to get rid of everybody.
They have a new general manager in Miami, and Tua
has got a lot of job security, not only because
he has a two hundred twelve million dollar contract, but
also the fact that you've got Zach Wilson and Quinn
Yours for the backup. That is job security is what
that is now. Secondly, in New York, the story that
(12:56):
I wanted to get into with you is about Molik Neighbors,
who was trying to downplay I don't if you saw
this or not, but he's trying to downplay got to
her fluffle on the sidelines with Brian Bayball during the
loss to the Commanders, and he's trying to downplay it
Elite Neighbors. He did acknowledge though, that he needs to
(13:16):
be more conscious of the cameras being on him, and
so as far as that might take on that Neighbors,
it's one of my pet pieces because Elite Neighbors wants
to us to believe that this is a blown out
of proportion situation and the reason that bothers me. Let
(13:37):
me tell you why, because this is the default response
of the NFL in twenty twenty five. Everything is blown
out of proportion, and as my friend Jay Scoop likes
to say that's bullpucky, is what that is. If you
don't want people reacting to your behavior on the sideline,
you know, maybe just maybe don't do what you do?
(14:00):
Is I know, heat of the moment all that stuff.
But that's generally any reasonable person that has a passion
for pigskin would say that malite neighbors look like he
was ready to strangle the head coach of the dolphins.
That's not a natural faith that. The body language all that.
(14:22):
And there's something that we brought up quite a bit
over the years talking about body language and big body
language guy, the slumping shoulders, the flexing with your fingers,
of the whole thing. It does tell a lot. And
there's a it's called the seven thirty eight fifty five rule,
which is not a great name for a rule, truly,
(14:43):
not a great name for the rule. They should come
up with something better than that. That's a terrible name
for the rule, but it's estifically this seven percent of
our communication as human beings, me and you. Seven percent
is body language, right, That's that's it. Thirty eight percent
is tone? Am I happy? Wait? Am I said boo?
(15:10):
Like that? Old thing right, So that's thirty eight percent,
so it worth to forty five percent, but fifty five
percent is body language. Fifty five percent is body language
and elite neighbors body language said I hate my quarterback,
I really don't like my coach. I really don't want
to be playing for the Giants. Now he came out.
He gave a cute explanation with leak neighbors. He said
(15:33):
he's got to NBF. He said natural bitch face. That's
his quote. I didn't say that. He said that's however,
to me, that is still it's still an excuse. The
target share wasn't the issue. He was targeted quite a bit.
He didn't catch most of the passes that were thrown
(15:53):
his way, but in terms of times being targeted and
all that, he was certainly targeted. I think twelve times,
which is more than enough for a headline receiver in
the NFL to get targeted that many times you only
caught five passes. So there was an issue being on
the same page with Russell Wilson, and when things break down,
(16:13):
you wear it on your face. It was like a
times square neon billboard, you know, giving similar energy to
Odell Beckham and every sideline shot becomes a soap opera.
But that boat is everywhere. It's just enhanced with the giants.
You think TV cut to Brian Dayball and Malik Neighbors
(16:34):
because they just want to do a check in and
see how they're doing. They smelled drama, blood in the
water and the sideline scowl and all that. And so
if you don't like that, you shouldn't play in the NFL.
Maybe you go to Jacksonville. It won't matter as much.
So there's that our final thought. Quickly as we wait
for the gremlins to leave the building. So a maid
(16:58):
complaint there in Dallas. Jerry Jones this week responded to
people upset that he did not negotiate with Michaeh Parson's
agent prior to trading him to the Green Bay Packers.
During his radio show, Jerry Jones said, there is no violation.
He said, that's about a rules violation. He says, no
violation because he has all the authority in the world
(17:21):
and the player has all the authority in the world
to negotiate directly with me. Jerry said, so real quick.
Jerry Jones, declaring that he did not violate any NFL
rules by ghosting Michael Parson's agent. So let's put that
into some context. So Jerry, the way I read this,
Jerry treating the NFL like he's Pony Soprano running the
(17:44):
bottom bings, right. He basically told the NFL forget about it,
no rules violated because Jerry's rules are the rules. It's
the soprano code that he's the boss, and he's the boss.
The bosses capeche like. Jerry did not negotiate with the
agent because he doesn't respect middleman. He went full Tony soprano.
(18:08):
He cut out the guide, taking a percentage, and flid
the envelope of cash right across the table to Michael
Parson said, here's the envelope and and that's it. And
it's like the whole mindset is I'm the one who
makes the money. I decide where the money goes. That's Jerry.
That's what he did. And I love the fact now
that he's double dog daring, that Jerry Jones is double
(18:30):
dog daring Roger Goodell to whack him with, you know,
some kind of punishment. It's like good plussed, well, you
gonna to punish me. And the other part of this
which is great. The NFL Players Association is freaking out.
You didn't talk to the agent, you didn't fall over
the rules. And Jerry's like, I don't care. And he's
sitting there chopping on a cigar and he's drinking a
(18:52):
nice cocktail and he's like, Hey, my family, it's my team,
it's my rules, it's my way. And that's that's how
Jerry does it, and so is the Ben Mahlor Show.
So I think what we'll do here, unless the gremlins
leave us, will just have an extended couple of segments
of ask men. Who says no. Nobody says no to
ask Ben. People love asking. So if you'd like to
(19:14):
send a question in hashtag ask Ben, that's hashtag ask Ben,
and your questions will be read for the rest of
the hour and you can send those in on x
at ask Ben. The riddle of the Day hashtag ask Ben.
Here's the riddle today. Woo yeah, very Stubby. A North
(19:35):
Dakota State football player has been cut from the schools
team after he blanked. A North Dakota State University football
player has been cut from the schools team after he blanked.
That is the malor riddle. Of the day as we
wait for the gremlins to go away, and we will
(19:55):
get to ask Ben for the rest of the hour,
we'll get to that. We will do it, Matt.

Now back to the regular show, and we've got to
play off the mallor riddle of the day, the malor
riddle of Then we'll get right in to ask Ben
your questions our answers. So here is the malor riddle
(22:59):
of the day. North Dakota State football player has been
cut from the schools team after he blanked. So that
is the question. What is the answer? Late Night drug
tester says he was caught with the farmer's daughter. Interesting,
all right. King Roy says he made an airplane joke.
That's not polite. Who else do we have page down?
(23:21):
Al the alienal Finer says after he was caught in
a hot stub with the dean's wife and daughter. Wow,
very specifically, Yeah, after he professed his love for the Gretlins,
I cut him too, says Ferg dog Andy in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota,
says the answer to the rid of the day. The
(23:44):
player from North Dakota got cut after he was caught
serving buffalo chips to visiting teams. That's what he had
to say. Who else do we have? Let's see page down,
page down. He was cut from the team for showing
support for the Grevlins attacking the studio. That was big
Greg and Iowa were soaking his jockstrap and the team
(24:07):
datorade cooler. Well that's not very nice. That's not good.
Who else do we have? Fades down? I can't read
that he took blind Scott lunch. According to Femy, the
top uber eats driver there in Minnesota. All right, that's enough, Larena,
do you have an answer again? The Mallard Riddle of
the day. A North Dakota State University football player has
(24:31):
been cut from the school team after he blanked.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
After he blinked Yeah, he was caught graffitiing the bathrooms.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Oh, you should never graffiti the bathroom. Although it's rather
you graffiti the bathroom than destroy the bathroom. But that
is incorrect, Unfortunately, the correct answer. This North Dakota State
University football player has been cut after the team from
the team school after he was arrested and accused of
stealing a bat containing more than two hundred and seventy
(25:03):
thousand dollars. You're probably wondering, You're probably wondering, how did
a bag have two hundred and seventy thousand dollars? And
how does a college kid find a bag with two
hunred seventy thousand dollars with his snuff? Well, he was
he was apparently at a cabin near a boat, and
(25:24):
he went on to a boat like a yacht. This
is that on the fourth of July, dreadful. Well, it
was late Minnetonka. There was like a Rolllex watch, there
must have been a few Rolex watches in there and
some other stuff and it was a big bag and
so he just like took the bag. What's in the bag?
And yeah, yeah, so he's facing some you know, some
(25:46):
criminal situations. So there you go. That is the Mallard
riddle of the day, and that leaves us right into
let's see here, what do we have.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Really more now, time for time more.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
I ask bag is your questions on Twitter now.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
And it is ask Ben. Your questions are answers for
the rest of the hour the extended dance remix and
it's possible by the Grenlins. We're very excited about that.
So we need.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
A lot of questions, so keep those questions coming in
hashtag asked fan, hashtag asked Ben. And now for the
reading of the questions and the kooperloop.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
All right, we're going to start off with a question
from Shane in Des Moines. He would like to know
where were you during the nine to eleven attacks. This
is for the whole crew.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
H Yeah, So I was working here at Fox Sports Radio.
I was actually doing updates at that time. I was
working on the Fox lot on Fairfax in West West,
LA and we were, you know, we just did news
updates during the day. And then they they were worried
(27:02):
actually that there was they were going to attack the
Fox studios, the TV, the movie studios over there. So
then they started like evacuating people, but they didn't evacuate
us because we had to stay on the air and
all this. It was. It was a crazy day, obviously,
but I was working in Fox Sports Radio doing updates
and uh yeah, I will always remember that obviously. That
(27:25):
was one of the big days in my life. What
about you have, Loraina? What were you doing way back
on nine to eleven?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I was walking to my third grade class.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
And oh my god.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
And I remember stopping at missus Summer's class and everyone
was staring at the TVs.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
And I was like, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (27:46):
And my teacher was just crying and I was like, Oh,
this is serious.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Yeah, I was really young.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Yeah, oh wow, I get you. You're that's that's like
an age flex. What you did there is an age flex,
an age flex with that. I often remember when I
woke up, I had an early shift, and I mean
I was working nights mostly back then, but I had
to do an early shift and I still remember my
alarm went off and I heard, you know, it was
a clock radio back then, and I had there was
(28:15):
an emergency broadcast alert because it was in between the
first plane and the second plane, and I remember hearing
the emergency broadcast saying. I was like, I thought I
was dreaming because that had never been activated in my life.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
And do you hear that? When you ever hear that?
Speaker 6 (28:32):
Well, that was the only time I've ever heard it.
I don't know, maybe it's been activated since then, but
that was it. So I remember that too. I was like,
I thought I was dreaming. I was like, yeah, it's
in the same what about you, Coop.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I'm pretty sure that when it happened, I was I
was sleeping.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Yeah, that was early, it was like five in the morning.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Yeah. But then I do remember my mom waking me up.
She was on the phone with my grandma, who uh
lived in Brooklyn her entire life, and so she was
like giving the play by play to my mom over
the phone and then my Mom's like, we're under attack,
(29:10):
and I'm like, what what is happening? Yeah, and then
we still went to school and it was just it
was weird. It was a weird vibe that entire day.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah. I also remember my my brother lives in Manhattan,
so not that far away, you know, these doesn't live
down on the southern part of that. But my mom
makes you rest me. She was freaking out because my
sister in Ma was pregnant at the time, and she was,
Oh my God like that made it even worse. So
I just everyone was panicking that day. Anyway, all right,
(29:46):
it's ass been. Your questions are answers for the rest
of the hour. What is next? What do we have
next year?
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Lady Sideburns, Hi, Lady Sideburns. I would like to know
have any of you ever tried dog or cat food?
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Why? Why would you? No? No, I'm not no. I
think a better question would be A better question would be,
if you were to eat dog or cat food, would
you eat the wet variety or the other variety? Like
(30:25):
which variety would you eat? If you were to eat
the food? That's I think you've got to eat the
country variety.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
I think right well, I think based off the look
Lorena and I shared, I think both of our answers
are different from yours, Lorena.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
So you know those brothers I talked about with the spit, Yeah,
they used to hold me down and shove bacon strips
in my mouth.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
How old were you?
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Seven?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Eight?
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Six five?
Speaker 6 (31:01):
You still this is a traumatic memory? You still remember this? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (31:04):
And then you know I used to just share them
with my dog after that we'd kind of just lay
in the backyard and share some Bagan strips.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
Oh my god, so you like to taste them?
Speaker 5 (31:12):
You kept eating the worst things I've had worse.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Yeah, you could look like that.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Well, I guess, I guess mine's the worst because you
were being forced.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I know.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
I tried. I just when I was a kid. I
was like, I'll try it, like I don't know, uh,
and and I tried both the wet and the dry food.
What about wet cat food? Though you haven't done that. No,
I haven't tried cat food.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Crossing the line.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
I didn't have a cat until I was an adult.
So do you ever smell it and wonder? No, not
with the cat food. The cat food smells disgusting. But
but that's what made me try the dog food as
a kid, Like you would open the web and I
thought that smells kind of good. I was like, yeah,
I was like, this smells delicious. Honestly, it wasn't. It
was not.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
No, you look up like what it's made, like the
types of the worst quality of meat that's not for
human consumption. They usually they give they give the dogs.
I mean that's usually what they Maybe it's better now
but I don't even think it is. I remember when
I was working early in my radio radio career, there
was a guy he had worked in Iowa for a
(32:20):
while and he had given like the cattle, like the
pipes of beef. He gave this the on the on
the radio and he's explaining to me, like the different
the different different meats, and I remember, like, there's the lowest.
I don't think you even have anymore. It's called four
D beef. It was dead disease, dying disabled beef, and.
Speaker 10 (32:39):
And that was that was what went to dog food.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
And but for a while they were serving it like
fast food restaurants and they stopped. The government got involved
in to stop doing that.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
It's asked, but why do we falls to the coff
will have an extended segment of ask.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Ben courtesy of the gremlins, as the gremlins have attacked
here and we are waiting for them to vacate the
building here. At some point they will leave us behind
and then we will get back to the fun of
the phone calls. I know somewhere in Boston a Leprechaun
is freaking out and Blind Scott are freaking out the
(33:14):
way we need our air time. How dare you anyway,
we'll get to all that more of Asked Ben, and
we will do it next.

is asked Ben, as we broadcast from the remote studio
(34:41):
which has been infested with gremlins, and back there they are.
They're not in the area where there're any equipment everywhere,
which is which is a problem. But they will leave
at some point. They will leave at some point, likely
by the time the show ends. Anyway, let's get over
to the kooploop for the reading of the questions that's
asked Ben. Keep both questions coming in hattag ask Ben
(35:03):
as we try to get that network connection back together.
Go ahead there, Kobalop.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
All right, late late night drug tester would like to
know do you sleep on top of or under your
bed sheet?
Speaker 6 (35:16):
So it depends on the season. I like to sleep
in a morgue. My ideal conditions are about as cold
as you can pop about. I don't sleep well as
it's hot, so I generally speaking, will be under blankets
because I'll blast even in winter time. I'll like, he
doesn't get that cold, but we live. But I'll put
(35:37):
the I'll put the ac on, put a fan on.
I gotta have some white noise in the background and
all that stuff. So yeah, I'm an under the blanky guy.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
What about you of a rain definitely depends on the
season and how cold it is in the room. I
will get all the way up underneath those blankets, like
head all the way under and tuck my whole body in.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
The question is about the sheet, That's what I'm.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Saying, all the way up under the sheets, right, it's
whether it's it's really coold or not. And if it's not,
I'll just get underneath the regular sheet on top of
my bed.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
Who did not like your ant?
Speaker 4 (36:08):
I'm just like you know, because it's different. I'm always
underneath the sheet. My wife is always on top of
the sheet. It creates problems. It's very he misplaced his anger.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
There's a wall divide between and.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Then she like she'll toss and turn and it screws
up the bed sheets. And then so then I when
I go to get in bed, like I can't get
under the sheet. And I always need to be under
the sheet, no matter the season. In the summertime, when
it's too hot, I'll just I'll just take the the
we'll take the comforter off the bed and it's just
the sheet. Yeah, But no matter what, I'm under the sheet.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
Yeah, I'm the same way. Quickly, what have we got? Quickly? Quickly?
Speaker 4 (36:48):
This is for you, Ben, what's the best and worst
part of working with Tom Looney?
Speaker 6 (36:55):
Well, the worst part is that he won't shut off
and uh the the top against the best part is
he also won't shut up. Yeah, he's the man to talk.
He just keeps talking over and over. He loves Nobody
loves talking about themselves more than Tom Looney. No one,
no one loves
