Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding long, it's our number to our number two. And
how do you assess to a tongue of by Lois
saying he can't do half of what Josh Allen does.
The Dolphin quarterback making that comment this week will parse
the words. Also, what is your big takeaway from Green
Bay's Jaden Reed. That's a wide receiver going live on

(00:21):
social media from a hospital bed while still on medication
after surgery. And what stands out about Sean McVay injuring
his foot while coaching the Rams against the Tennessee Titans.
I know Danny and Nashville was hoping some other Ram
players would be hurt. Not Sean mcvah will talk about
all that and more right now here. It is give

(00:43):
it up for our number two saying the quiet part
out loud.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
People don't like it.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
We are in the air reware writing the radio waves
as we.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Are bearing witness to the nonsense coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and uncharacteristically powerful
microphones of fsre.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Am monating live.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
From under the light the bright on air light flashing
right here from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
as approved by Skip do Zip. He does approve that
this portion of the Ben Maler Show made possible in
part in part by our one and only, our one
and only friends at tyre Iraq. For over forty years,

(01:38):
ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation ti raq dot com the way
tire binding should be. So we'll get back to the
Otawani conversation in a few minutes. Get a bunch of
people on hold on a rant and complain as Otani
the Dodger game he was taking out out of no hitter,

(02:00):
and Dave Roberts announced after the game they had already
been decided before the game that Otani was coming out
after five minutes to sixty eight pitches. That's your modern
Dodger baseball right there. That's your Dodgers right there. Gutless,
absolutely gutless. Buy the book. Follow the numbers. Pathetic, all right,
But our lead this hour from the NFL, we go
to Miami. Speaking of pathetic, the Miami Dolphins continue to

(02:23):
be floundering, but they're good for business, so we're happy
about that. The Dolphins continue to fill up the content
machine here at Fox Sports Radio. They play an island game,
the Island Life on Thursday night in Orchard Park just
outside Buffalo. There that the lead up to in the
lead of us in the lead up to the game,

(02:43):
there was a there was some conversation here that caught
my attention and a quote by the quarterback who provides
entertainment not much for the fans in South Florida, when viral.
So if you didn't see this, perhaps not Dolphins quarterback
two A tongue of our la was waxing loquacious about

(03:03):
Josh Allen, who he's going against his divisional opponent there
in a Buffalo Bill's uniform, and let's just say he
went a little over the top. Let's go to the
audio tape.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Here's Tua.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Dude. He's top tier.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
You know, if it's not with his arm, it's with
his legs. You know that dude can do the really
anything he wants. So definitely different skill set for me.
I can't do half of what he does when it
comes to running the ball and any of that. And
then with how he can just chuck a ball down
the field, you know, with how far and the arm
strength that he has, you know, he's supreme when when

(03:37):
it comes to.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
That, all right, So we laid it on fixed.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
So let us discuss that has gone viral, the question
how do you assess to a tongue of eyeloa, the
Dolphins quarterback saying he can't do half of what Josh
Allen does.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
So I've got taxi cab, doctor Drew, and.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Moon boots, and we will combine all of these things
together and we're going to make you're Babushka's favorite snack mix.
And it's just the proper amount of nuts and pretzels
and mix them all together and it's just perfect. So
number I said number one, this might be the number
of games the Dolphins will win. My first thought is

(04:18):
this must have been a.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Lou Holtz thing.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
When I saw this quote and then I heard the audio,
my initial thought was, this is the old golden Domers
coach from back in the day. It was on television
for a long time and this was what he used
to do, and many coaches did this for a long time.
It's a term called poor mouthing. I didn't make that up,
poor mouthing. And that is where you poor mouth the opponent.
You embellish, you go over the top, so when you

(04:43):
beat them, you look like a Goliath slayer. You butter
up the opponent is what you're supposed to do. However,
with Tua, I didn't get that vibe. I did not like.
To me, this is genuine, that he's such a sweetheart
to a tongue of a lawa that he actually like

(05:03):
believes I believe he means it, like like, I think
that's legit, like it like Tua's basically starring in an
HBO remake of Taxi Cab Confessions, NFL Quarterback variety, pouring
out his heart and soul. Pouring out his heart and soul. Now,
let's self awareness is cute. We like self awareness, but
let's not kid ourselves here that Tua is telling the

(05:25):
world that he is a knockoff brand, that he is
a generic brand quarterback.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
He is the iPhone.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, I guess Josh Allen would be the iPhone in
this one, and then Tua would be like, he'd be
like the android, but not a good android, like the
kind that overheats when it gets into the and it
gets too many things going like Netflix or something like
that on the phone. But let's put the finances to
the love test.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
What do you think here?

Speaker 1 (05:50):
The love test? So Tua has a one hundred and
sixty seven million garon tea and then you've got Josh
Allen who's at two hundred and fifty million. So if
I believe the math on that, it's about Josh Allen
compared to Tua, makes about thirty three percent less in
terms of guaranteed money as opposed to Josh Allen. So

(06:11):
it's kind of like comparing a waterfront mansion in Buffalo
to a condo on the twenty second floor in Miami
in South Beach. Like Miami Beach, that area, the square
footage is not even close, right, the square footage is
not that close. Now, toua admitting that he can't keep up.
That's essentially what I took away, And I was like, listen,

(06:32):
I'm not as good as this guy. This guy's much
better than me. Now, it's refreshing honesty. It is refreshingly
honest that Tua said this. It also undermines a problem
that Tua's undermining the Dolphins is what he's doing here
because he's he's the guy. They knew that he was wobbly,
they gave him the contract, and so Miami is rolling

(06:55):
into what is supposed to be a heavyweight fight. They're
big underdogs on the game Thursday night, so the Dolphins
go into that and the Bills are a heavy favorite
in that game. And the quarterback matchup between Tua and
Josh Allen, Tua.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Just admitted, not listen, I'm not in the same class.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
That's not exactly a raw Rah speech where you're like,
we're gonna go shock the world. That's another episode of
the Miami Dolphins twenty twenty five season, which at this
point is like a sitcom. It's like a sitcom here
at this point for the Dolphins. You q the laugh track.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Miami is zero to two.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Their defense, I believe is ranked thirty first in points allowed.
They would be thirty second, but the Bears played the Lions.
They're perfect and they were terrible. So now their quarterback,
to a tongue of Bailoa is basically writing fan mail
to the guy that he's supposed to be competing with
in the division. And it's for get hard knocks. This

(07:54):
is like everybody loves tour. This is an everyone loves
to a thing every week.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
It's a new script. You've got the half baked coach.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
In the space cadet coach there, Mike McDaniel, who's on
the sidelines. All right, now to green Bay, speaking of wacky,
we go to green Bay here where Packers wide receiver
Jaden Reid decided or someone around him decided to go
live on Instagram immediately after a collarbone surgery and the

(08:26):
anesthesia was still doing laps in his bloodstream as he
went on the Instagram live.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Now, how do we know this? How could you not
be seeing?

Speaker 1 (08:37):
You know, he's a little batty there, he said, The
green Bay Packers wide receiver said, quote and this, among
other things, the Packers to the ball brawl. We turned,
we going all the effing way.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
He said.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
All right, so let us discuss the question on this one.
What is your big takeaway from Green Bay's Jaden Reid
going live on social media from a hospital bed moments
after surgery. All right, so this is classic addiction? Is

(09:12):
it not addiction? Everyone's addicted to their phones. I'm addicted
to my phone, I admitted, But you none of us
can put it down. But I at least I dreamed that.
I'm not on like the social media stuff much during
the day, as I've said, because you all are a holes,
so I stay away from that. But Jaden Reed literally
was out of surgery. He's I can't emphasize this enough.

(09:32):
He's in the hospital bed, he's wearing the hospital gowned,
and he's out of surgery. And his first instinct is
is not, hey, maybe i'll sleep this off, let me
rest up a little bit. Is let's go live on Instagram.
This is what it is now. To be fair, there
was some woman I don't know if that was his

(09:53):
mom or his girlfriend or his sister, I don't know who.
This mystery woman was in there, and she was encouraging
him on what to say on the Instagram feet. So
the whole thing was rather pathetic, like we've reached the
point now where so many of us, but especially like
the players in the NFL, they're not just players really,

(10:13):
everyone is.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Everything has to be live. You have to do it live.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
It's all content and you have to broadcast every second
of your life. It is an absolute disease. It reminds
me of when Lebron passed Kareem Abdul Jabbar to become
the all time leading scorer in NBA history. There was
this iconic shot behind the basket and there were twelve
thousand people behind the basket, all of them doing the
Statue of Liberty, holding up their phone trying to get

(10:40):
a photo of it, not watching what was right in
front of them because they wanted to get some clicks
and all that. And then you had like Phil Knight
of Nike who was actually standing up and watching.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
And the whole thing. It was very bizarre.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
But it is addiction, like bringing doctor Drew, the addiction
therapist and all that stuff. And you know, you're half
conscious if you're the Green Bay player, you're high on anesthesia,
and the phone is still.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Right there in your face.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
And it's not enough to just have surgery and try
to recover and come back and play football on that.
Now you got to perform for strangers, not your family.
You know, I can understand going on the phone, say
I'm fine, I survived the operation. You know I didn't
die on the operating table. But no, you gotta to
total strangers. You gotta go out there right here's what
I'm doing. You know, the phone has become like an

(11:28):
IV rip if you will, we don't need painkillers. Forget
about the painkillers.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Right.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
The real drug is that social media attention. That phone
might as well have been a needle in the arm,
like the same buzz, same hit, same you know, feel
good situation.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Right.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Social media is the drug. It's like crack and uh,
you know, take the phone away. You can't take the phone.
Do not take the phone away. You're gonna cut off
my oxygen supply. What is wrong with you? I'm gonna
start twitching. So why were you so couldn't wait? Could
not wait to go live? Because again the guys addicted

(12:07):
screen bay packers, receiver gotta get all those hearts. You
don't get the hearts if you don't go live. You
gotta go live to get the hearts. And so you
override common sense. You say bye bye to common sense
because the clout matters more. That's more important, all right now,
final point to Los Angeles we Go. That is where

(12:29):
Rams coach Sean McVay ended up on the injury report.
McVeigh tore his planter fasci is fasci itis. Easier for
me to say it's a foot injury. It happened on
the sideline during the Rams game in Nashville. Now, McVeigh
popped up on the Sean A Coach McVeigh Show, which

(12:50):
is produced in house by the Rams spin doctors. I'm
sure that's I'm sure that's riveting. So McVeigh was asked,
I guess you brought this up on his own ash.
But here's a McVeigh commenting, we'll go to the audio tip.
Here's McVeigh on injuring his foot during the Ram Titan game.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Foot's good.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
You know I did tear my planner fascist So no, yeah,
that's your thing because now I guess it allows you
to heal a little bit faster. But you know, I
was being dramatic limping around towards the end of the game.
But you know, the MRI confirmed I did that. But
good news is I'm not playing, so I'm just on
the sidelines watching. So if I have a little cool
limp to add some swag, then you'll know why.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Okay, he's got the cool limp, little swag there.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
So what stands out about Sean McVay injuring a foot
while coaching the Rams. Now, to my knowledge, he didn't
get hit by a Titan defender or a RAM player
on the sidelines. So the injury infestation taking down coaches, now,
taking that even clapping on the sidelines is risky business

(13:54):
in the NFL. In twenty twenty five, Meg it stop.
Somebody make it's up. So Sean McVay, a top three
coach in the entire NFL, Sean McVay obviously needs bigger shoes.
I did a little research on this, so they say
that if you have this type of injury, it means
your shoes are too small and you need to go
down to foot locker and you need to size up

(14:15):
and stop wearing kid shoes essentially, So as I understand it,
maybe I'm wrong, But as I understand it, it's the
body telling you, like, hey, you're cramming your foot into
some kind of trendy sneaker.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
It doesn't fit properly.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
And instead of just worrying about you know who cares
about what you're wearing, Just go out there and coach.
It doesn't really matter. Be more like Big Red. To me,
that's the lesson. Be more like Big Red. Look at
Andy Reid. You watch Andy Reid on the sidelines. He's
dishovel he might as well be wearing orthopedic moon boots
while he's walking around in his moo moo eating chicken fingers.

(14:56):
There is zero chance that Andy Reid will tear anything
but pop, possibly a napkin, and he'll certainly tear open
that honey mustard sauce packet.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
That's it, but not a body part.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
So any Reid in Kansas City right now, somewhere having
a late night snack and he's chomping down probably not
a cheeseburger, late night cheeseburger, laughing his ass off. This
guy's tearing tissue. McVeigh on the sidelines, and here here's
Andy Reid sitting down, he's got his laminated play sheet

(15:27):
and he's just enjoying his cheeseburger. Now, that said, you
cannot deny the theater of all of this. That McVeigh
left it all on the field. My coach will get
hurt coaching all the way right there, the bottom of
your foot right there, messed up. Now, of course, it
is not the end of the world. The injury is

(15:47):
supposed to take four to six weeks to heal, So
some pharmacy grade ibuprofen or just rub some dirt on it.
I believe he'll be okay. The Rams are in Philadelphia
to take on the Eagles coming up this weekend, one
of the bigger games of the weekend.

(18:19):
not gonna work. Bad job by you, Alf says, Hey Mallard,
I know I'm an a hole, but is it harder
when you say it?

Speaker 9 (18:29):
Ow?

Speaker 2 (18:30):
I don't know what that means. I have no idea
with them. They have no idea with them. He's what
else we have to see?

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Page down? A lot of nonsense. Mustang mania right, since
says I loved your Philly takedown. The tushy push will
end their reign when they're in motion play. It should
be an illegal procedure every single time, so he says.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Ryan. Let's go to the phones and oh the.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Birthday boy hung up bat job by him, bad job
by the birthday boy.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
All right, he calls back. We'll put him. Let's go
to a big rig Rob. Who's up next?

Speaker 9 (19:31):
Hello?

Speaker 2 (19:32):
We had a guy? Yeah, I don't want get it?

Speaker 5 (19:33):
Do?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
He hung up? So who cares? Big rig Rob? What's
going on? Rob?

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Oh? Not much?

Speaker 5 (19:38):
Ben?

Speaker 3 (19:39):
How you being man?

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Let's see If I was any better, I'd be a
relief pitcher, but not a Dodger relief picture because they sucked.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
How does Dave Roberts even still have a job. I
don't even understand, you know why?

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Because he just does what the people above him tell
him to do.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
That's it. He just does it whatever they tell it do,
even if it doesn't make any sense. Just do it blindly,
like a zombie. It's like a zombie. It's hard.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
So Otany's hasn't thrown seventy pitches, He's got no take
them out of the game.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Okay, sure, no problem, that makes sense. Why not.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Robert the Robots, I'm Robert the Robots.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Guy's a damn robot.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
And and these these toll lickers like David Vasse and
these idiots that cover the Dodgers, the total housemen for
the Dodgers, and they don't call him out on this.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
He might actually be the AI version of his old
Boston Red Sox self.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Oh yeah, well Dave who was given to the Red
Sox and for money and then ended up having the
most important stolen based in Red Sox history and all
that stuff. But then that was the only thing, that
was the only thing you ever did in the alcs
for the Red Sox.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
That's it, man. Hey, we got a up here in
the great Evergreen State just opened up an in and
out in rich Fred Washington.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
Guys.

play in the Saudi Flag Football Tournament. Now, this is
not gonna happen till the spring. I believe him next year.
I think that's the data on that. But it seems
a lot of people are bearing the lead on this.
There are people speculating just how much money Tom Brady
got to play in this thing, and the amount of money.
There are some whispers on the interweb, and who knows

(23:24):
how much of this is true and how much of
it is not. That Tom Brady is going to be
making an ungodly amount of money to play in a
flag football game in Saudi, in Saudi Arabia, And because
we're talking about like fifty million, one hundred million, who
knows Saudi. The Saudi Public Investment Fund, which is trying

(23:47):
to get into American culture and buy up advertising in
sports and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
And they've obviously taken down golf couple.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Of pegs, but they have unbelievable amounts of money, that
oil money. They've got nine one hundred and forty one
billion dollars in what they call the Saudi Public Investment Fund,
nine hundred forty one billion. So if they gave every
one of those NFL players that's going to show up
to this thing, if they gave them all fifty million dollars,

(24:14):
that wouldn't even make a dent, That would not even
make a dent in that not even close. So it's
they partner with the people at Fanatics. It's gonna stay
place in March and in Riad in Saudi Arabia, and
they've got like sequon Barkley, Ceedee Lamb, Christian mccaffrey'll probably
be hurt by that. Max Crosby, Rob Gronkowski, of course,

(24:35):
that Dufice will be there.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
And they're all cashing in. They're all cashing in there.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Pete Carroll's gonna be there, Sean Payton, Kyle Shanahan, money
amount of money, Kevin Hart. You know, Kevin Hart doesn't
get out of bed unless he's getting like ten million dollars.
Let's go back to the phones. We'll say hello to
Jerome in Charleston. Bring it home, Jerome, Hello, Jerome and Charleston.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
Oh yeah, Saudi Arabia. That's the country that puts time
careless and wood chippers, right, yeah, I want some of
their blood stained money, of course.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well you're a probably the only one that doesn't want it.
They're all all these guys are lining up to get
that money.

Speaker 5 (25:17):
That's because they're all sellouts, definite. Why no, you sell
out the murderers. You're a sellout. You can't be a
bigger sellout to that. You selling out to people who
put journalists who.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
I didn't do anything. I'm just I didn't do a
damn thing. I'm just telling you that's why they're doing
They're doing it for the check. That's why they're doing nothing.

Speaker 5 (25:38):
Is that they have no have no moral Well.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
It'd be one, it'd be one thing if these guys
aren't aren't weren't all loaded? I mean they're all filthy rich.
I mean so it's it's like they don't really need
the money.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
Yeah, but you can know me too, rich a tooth
and then you should know that you're you're you're doing
pretty well for yourself.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
I don't know about you.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Oh you you think I'm much richer than I am.
You you are delusional.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Hey, I got ten bucksas you got way more money
than I got. If you want to take that bet,
that's about.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
All I got is that the standard? Is that the
standard on the bitch?

Speaker 5 (26:12):
You know how?

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Oh okay? Is that why you're calling us because you
get a little low on the money. That's why you're
calling us? Is that why you.

Speaker 5 (26:20):
Make me break me over that? Kawhi Leonard up to
the table.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
May we all have bosses that love it? Maybe may
we all have bosses that want to pay us under
the table.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
I mean, hell, oh yeah, I can't even get bosses
to pay me over the table.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
I'd love to get bosses to pay me under the table.
I'd be wonderful.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
Just just do what his bosses. Like you said about
Dave Robins, right, push button.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Magic Weave Roberts. But listen, Kawhi Leonard. You think he's
the only guy Jerome that's got that kind of set up.
I'm pretty sure that that's common in the NBA. In fact,
I saw Adam Sill was like, we might want.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
To change the rules. Really, you might want to change
the rules.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
Adam Silver, the commissioner of the NBA, that lets uh,
the guy from the from the Oklahoma City push you
off every time.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
He's shore Oh yeah, Shay yogas Alexander, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
That's not an offense alt file. And then you bring
me a pusher on. Oh that's not Walckett, that's a gatherer.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Why why would that help the NBA though?

Speaker 1 (27:30):
To have Oklahoma City win one of the smallest markets,
if not the smallest market in the NBA. So how
does that help them to have Oklahoma City win.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
I'm not saying it helps him. I'm just saying, when
you're a celebrity get away, when is you to do whatever?

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Well, yeah, of course, that's how that's how the world's
always worked. You think it's ever going to change.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
Oh, hell of course, not, not any time.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Then it's never gonna change.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Whoever is deemed the elite of society always has given.
Years ago, I did stuff with the baseball team. We
traveled around, right, and I was making no money, and
I went out with these guys after the games or whatever.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
They dragged me.

Speaker 9 (28:09):
I was.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
They felt pity on me, and they took me with
them and they'd go to restaurants and bars in the
ballet and they get free meals, they'd get free drinks,
everything because because of who they were, and they could
all afford it. They could all afford everything. They didn't
need free stuff, but they were given free stuff because
they were deemed higher rank in society, so they got

(28:30):
a lot. I don't know about that, but yeah, well
there are women that are are certainly more attracted to athletes,
So there is that where the white women at.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
They By the way, that was Lebron Jams taking money
under the table like that. Oh, I'm sure all the
Clipper Homers on Fox would have a lot more about it.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
To listen, we pointed Lebron's worse than Kawhi is taking
that Chinese money. Do you see that Lebron's got that
that Chinese did the the op ad which we didn't
even write.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Uh, they don't kill people, run what.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
They don't kill people? They just run people over the tank.
And yeah, I don't getting the geo. I don't get
into a geopolitical conversation with you.

Speaker 5 (29:18):
But I would you know me, man, I'm very political, Man,
I can't.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
I know you are very in your face politically.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
Many I loved in the deep man, I know a
lot of things.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Now do you consider now you're in Charleston, that is
that like a bubble in the Deep South?

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Right? Charleston kind of a hipster town these days?

Speaker 5 (29:38):
Right kind of bubble?

Speaker 1 (29:40):
Man, I don't know Charleston. I was in Charleston. It
seems like that, like it's a hipster town. Now it's
like all hip people there.

Speaker 5 (29:47):
Oh yeah, all of this people coming here now trying
to push the pull people like me out of you know,
out of existence.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Is there anything you're happy about?

Speaker 9 (29:57):
Joe Hey, I just turned sixty nine now last month
from the twenty three, Oh happy Chris Fommer I got
the same birthday. How do you like that you and
who Chris follows from the SPN.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
You know, the big, the big, that's random twenty five million? Okay,
I like that you immediately go to a salary that's
for govers.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Jerome.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, yeah, can you say you're twenty nine? Hold, somebody
wants to take Somebody wants to talk to Jerome. You
want to say, take a call? All right, let's go
to Scott. Scott, you're on with Jerome and Charleston.

Speaker 10 (30:30):
Hello, Scott, Hi, Jerome, this is the election committee in
South Carolina. I'm listening to your phone call right now.
We'd like to invite you to run for governor of
South Carolina. I'm just wondering about what your opinion is.
I know you're sixty nine, but that's the perfect age
for a politician in South Carolina.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
I don't think I could run for governor because I
don't look like the status quo wants me to look.
You can read it.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
You can refer no, Jerome, Jerome, you're such a you're
such a lightning rod. Jerome, you're such a polarizing guy.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
You can then I can't help you all. I'm done
with it all. Anything else. You're home. Is at it.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
You just anything you want to complain about other that
you haven't complained about.

Speaker 5 (31:08):
I just want to tell Trevor Lawrence be careful about
waving your coach off. Hey, coach, Rent, don't buy, that's
all like you. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Well, he can afford to buy and then sell it
and make a profit on it. So you say rent
when you can't afford to buy. If you can afford
to buy, you buy and then you sell. And the
quickest way to get enriched to Rome back in the
old days was real estate. That was how you get rich.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
When the rich quarterback starts waving off the just recently
hide coach, yeah that's not good news.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Well, of course it is. And the amount of damage
control they're doing in Jacksonville.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Oh no, there's nothing to this. You know.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
It's blaming the media and I'll stop. It's not even
the media. We all saw, always saw. Even the blind
people signed, we all saw it.

Speaker 5 (31:50):
The papists. Coaches don't watch too okay, they're on to
look out.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, Well that panther coach killed me because they got
a back door cover against the car doinals and that
pissed me off. So yeah, yeah, well, Benny versus the
Penn I know you watch it, Jerome, Well you would
watch it. If you could figure out how to use YouTube,
you'd watch it. I gotta go, thank you, gotta go away.
I'll talk to you next week. There's true one week
of call, one call a week from Drome. Nature Boy
says Jerome should tries some of the animal style and

(32:17):
in and out. Well, you're talking about big rig Rob,
not Jerome is what you're talking about. Alf says. The
future is now now. My Puerto Rican co workers will
no longer have to go out of their way to
call me a cracker, he says in English. They'll be
able to do it in their native tongue always. Yeah,

(32:37):
well we talked about this on the podcast. I this
is new technology out that will translate, like the headphones
you wear will translate different languages.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Isn't that awesome? Like we didn't even need Spanish class
back in high school. Who needs language class at all? Yeah?
I get well, I can do it for it, But
if you want to speak.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
The language, it would be problematic, right, A problematic situation.

Speaker 11 (33:01):
I guess if your phone dies or your glasses die
or something that could be very problematic.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah, that would be a Jnasa. Sito Albano.

(35:28):
two percent of his dropbacks through two.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Weeks, more than any.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Other quarterback in the NFL in twenty twenty five. That
is the question. What is the answer? And Bobby and
Florida going with Grandpa Munster is his answer. The Great
WSC Fields guessed by Alf the Alien Opiner. My favorite
quote of all time from w. C.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Fields.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Scrooge is going with Poppy's father. That's not very nice.
So who else do we have? Joe Namath guessed by
Barbecuing Lenn He's been blitzed one hundred percent. He's been
here the football field, Little Manishchevitz the Cat from Stevie
meat Balls. I see what you did there those Maza balls.
The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown from Milkman, Mike and Colorado.

(36:12):
The greatest Dodger of all time Tommy Lasorda guess by
Shane in Des Moines or former Mariner James Paxton as
his answer.

Speaker 2 (36:22):

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Page Down Jim Fergosi Angel legend from ferg Dog. Patrick Mahomes,

you have an answer? It s notat shit Earth Sanders
guests by JT the Wingman.

Speaker 11 (36:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
I'm gonna go with Davey Crockett Ben.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Davy Crockett, Is it David? No, It's also not Sam
I see go Donald from Viva Los VICKI the correct answer,
believe it or not. Daniel Jones has been wit seventeen
more times than any other quarterback and is averaging ten
yards per attempt while being blitzed.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Wow, all right, here we go, Here we go, Here
we go. How about that.

Speaker 7 (37:17):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets
grilledo loo.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Well, speaking of the guy, it's almost like that was
made to be. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (37:28):
Daniel Jones has a big reason that he has shined
in his first two stars with the Colts has been
the coaching staff and his teammates, and was Jones just
being held back on the Giants.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
No, and I there will be a major regression to
the mean with Daniel Jones.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
This will last a few more weeks or whatever. I'm
not buying that.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
This is legit coop and it's easy to say, well,
I was being held back. The sole every coach the
Giants hired was to make Daniel Jones good. Every draft
pick was to make Daniel Jones good. And the common
denominated was Daniel Jones sucked with all those.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Guys, all right next.

Speaker 11 (38:04):
Sean Payton took the blame on Monday for the penalty
that cost the Denver Broncos the game against Indianapolis. He
said the play was meant to block a game winning
field goal attempt, but he should have changed it due
to the length of the kick. Ben, do you think
he's just trying to protect his coordinator. That's by the book.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
You always, you never, you always as the coach, have
to be the top of the pyramid. You have to
take the blame for everything, even though on this one
it's not. I think Sean Payton's involved that in the
minutia of the special teams. I don't believe that at all,
And it was really a chicken ass way to lose
a game, and so the whole You always say that
even when a player like in baseball, will drop a

(38:40):
fly ball, Oh it's a team wall. No, that guy's
an idiot. But the coach that was my fault. I
shouldn't had him in the outfre all right. Next the
new Colts owner Carly Ers Gordon. Yeah, she's quite the lady.
Have you seen this woman?

Speaker 9 (38:51):
I have.

Speaker 11 (38:53):
She's made waves online as she was shown on the
sidelines wearing headphones taking notes during the game. Ben, do
you like an owner cares this much or do you
see it as micromanaging?

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Well, I wouldn't want to work for an owner like that,
But if I own an NFL team, I would be
just like her. I would be on the field, standing
right next to the coach. I'd be like Jerry Jones.
And I don't know why you would want to own
a team not to act like that, So I don't
have a I think it's pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
How do we do? That's the weird pudder on the phone.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
I want the gay Poppy, I want the game Poppy.
