Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. It's all about the brotherly show better
known as the Tush Push in hour four on this Thursday.
Don't forget Benny Versus the Penny is a global show.
Now we've graduated to the global market and you can
watch the Benny Versus the Penny. I want my pick
(00:20):
on tonight's NFL game against the Spread. Little handicapping for you.
That's only available on YouTube. YouTube dot com slash at Bennivspenny.
That's YouTube dot com slash at Bennyvspenny. You can watch
the big YouTube. It's just an appetizer. Later today there'll
be the full show that will break down all the
(00:41):
key matchups in the NFL this weekend. But here in
hour number four, what are the chances the Eagles Tush
Push is banned after the season, as there are reports
saying it is now doomed after the events of the
previous weekend. Also, how do you read these comments from
Cowboys coach Brian Schottenneimer not being worried is not worried
about Tom Brady working some kind of dragnet operation for
(01:04):
the Raiders when they talk to the Cowboys and his
Falcons running back John Robinson definitely the best player in football.
That's what his coach said. Will analyze that quote and more.
Right now, have a wonderful Thursday. Don't forget Benny versus
the Penny on the YouTube, but here it is our
number four. The push is on. Welcome in the beginning
(01:30):
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are
in the air everywhere as we fan the breeze, and
we never give you the silent treatment, because in my job,
that's really really bad. Coast, the coast, border, the border
and beyond on the bass and ludicrously powerful microphones of
(01:54):
fs are amminating live from the block, the stumbling block
of sports talk from the world famous Fox Sports Radio
studios that Frida, Daddy and Jonathan and Delaware love so much.
Now this portion of the Ben Maler Show made possible
in part by our friends at Express Employment Professionals. Business

business does not have to be. Let Express Employment Professionals
provide the workforce you need. Go to expresspros dot com

I see the thumbs up there from Alf the Alien Opiners.
So we can continue, been yapping away here all night long,
(02:37):
and if you're getting up early trying to get to
jump on traffic here, welcome in this hour our lead
from Philadelphia. Another day and yet another storyline about the tushy.
That's right, the Philadelphia Eagles. They're infamous tush push play,
the tushy scene around the world against the Kansas City
(02:58):
Chiefs at Arrowhead this past week. We can continues to
have some life to it. If you've not heard the
latest on this, perhaps not to Adam Schefter, I've heard
of him. He tells us the tush push is on
quote life support around the NFL, that time is ticking
(03:18):
away on Philly's pseudo quarterback sneak, the trickeration of the
Philadelphia Eagles the rugby play. So let us discuss the
question now. Schefter said in his reporting that the play
is on life support. What are the actual chances that
the Eagles tush push is banned after the twenty twenty
(03:41):
five seasons. So I've got Jat Kermit, the Frog and
waffle Fries, and we will combine all of these things
together and for our friend in Florida, We're gonna make
the Goabba Goool we're gonna make the Goabba goool to
lead off here. I am not bullish on the schefter
(04:05):
reporting that the tush pushes on life support. The Malor
odds on this are plus three point fifty five. Those
are the Maler Sportsbook odds. Now that implies using Malormath,
a twenty two point two percent chance the tush pushes man.
So how did I come up with that number? Let
me go through and I'll show you my work. I
(04:25):
didn't use AI or anything like that, so that makes fine.
So the vote, if you go back to last offseason
in twenty twenty four, the vote came down to the wire.
It was a photo finish. The ban needed twenty four
votes in place. They got twenty two. So that means
there were ten other teams that did not vote to
(04:49):
ban the tushpush. So you're looking at those ten teams,
you're assuming that the twenty two teams will continue to
be against the tushy pushy. There's ten other teams, but
there's really only nine other teams because the Philadelphia Eagles,
I'm going to assume the position aren't going to vote
to ban the tush push. So you're dealing with nine teams.
So out of those nine teams, again we're eliminating the
(05:12):
Philadelphia Eagles for obvious reasons, that voted to keep the
play legal last season, you need to flip two of
the nine. So that's a two twenty two batting average,
So that I'm going with twenty two point two percent
because that's the man. So who are those teams? If
you're anti tush push, who needs to vote in favor
(05:33):
of it to get rid of it? So they are
the Ravens, the Browns, the Jaguars, the Miami Dolphins, the
New England Patriots, and you've got the New Orleans Saints.
I believe we're on there as well, the Jets and
the Titans and the Lions. So you've got that mix
of teams that are in there. And those are the nine,
(05:55):
all right, So just a couple of NFC teams, most
of them AFC teams. So two of the those teams
have to vote to say bye bye tushy. It's what
they have to do. And keep in mind, if you
do the math on this, the Birds convert the tush
push ninety six percent of the time. It started as
a gimmick and it has become an unstoppable force in
(06:18):
the NFL. That's some conversation in the overnight earlier with
our buddy Fry Daddy in Pennsylvania, Big Eagles guy, and
this play if it goes away, and again I don't
believe there's a high chance it goes away. We'll see
what happens the rest of the year. But the Eagles,
they would go from the champions of the NFL to jats.
(06:42):
That's just a team. They're just a team. After that.
It is the only thing that they are truly dominanting at.
That's it. That's the list right there. Jalen Hurts will
be asked to do more. If you get the tush
push and you take it away and you have to
do traditional quarterbacks neak, he'll be asked to do more.
And he hasn't shown that he can be the guy.
(07:05):
You're not that guy, Palp, You're not that guy. For example,
Jalen Hurts this season has two completions of ten or
more air yards. Two it's dink and dunk, it's right
at the line of scrimmage, its short passes within five yards.
He's only got two passes of ten or more air yards.
That is tied with Tyrod Taylor, the backup quarterback for
(07:28):
the Jets. Tyrod Taylor for thirty fourth in the NFL.
We are two games into the season. There's obviously a
lot of real estate to navigate and circumvent around the NFL. However,
we have to worry about the show we're doing right now,
this hour and this hour. Like I said, the math
is twenty two point two percent based on the nine
teams having to flip two votes out of those nine teams,
(07:52):
and then at the same time you have to keep
everyone else, all the other teams that will continue to
vote against the touchbucks. Now, furthermore, we go to Dallas,
another storyline of the week, which goes back to Monday
Night football making his coaching debut. Tom Brady on the
wrong side of a blowout loss as his Raiders lost
a bad job by Brady. So in Dallas, Cowboys coach
(08:16):
Brian Schottenheimer announced not concerned. He's not concerned about letting
secrets out, those state secrets. During a Fox production meeting,
he has no problems with Tom Brady. In fact, Brady's
doing the game this weekend between Dallas and Chicago, that
is the big Fox game this weekend. Helps Otter, Jim
(08:39):
Nantz and Romo. They got assigned to the Minnesota Cincinnati game.
The battle of backups. Who goofed? I've got to know. Anyway,
So this is about the Cowboys and the quote from
Schottenheimer said, he said this quote. Everybody has everybody's playbook.
Everybody knows somebody that knows somebody that's been some place.
(09:03):
I don't have a problem with it, Schottenheimer said. Some
people might. But look, I'll talk football with anybody close.
Quote that is from Brian Schottenheimer, the temporary coach or
the Dallas Cowboys the interim coach. All right, so here's
the deal. That game the Cowboys visit the Raiders November seventeenth,
(09:24):
So it's a month from now, a little less than
a month from now. And that game is on Monday Night,
which means Tom Brady will be in the coach's box again.
So one of Schottenheimer's mentors is Raiders coach Pete Carroll.
I would think his dad's more of a mentor than that.
But anyway, question, how do you read these comments? How
(09:45):
do you read these comments from Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer
on being worried or not being worried in this case
about Tom Brady working some kind of secret dragnet operation
for the Raiders. So Brian schotneimber I thought about it.
It actually makes sense on this one on a couple
of levels. The obvious one is Schottenheimer has no secrets
to start with, so if you have no secrets, you
(10:06):
have nothing to worry about. He's a sock puppet. Brian
Schttenheimer is essentially Kermit the Frog, and Jerry Jones is
Jim Henson. If you know the history of the Muppets,
and Jerry's playing the role of Jim Henson, He's got
his hand jammed up Kermit the coach and the back there.
So what intel do you think shotting would give away?
Like the Cowboys playbook has been the same ever since
(10:30):
Jimmy Johnson essentially had a mullet, right. You know, it's
a run and it used to be emmet. Then it
was Zeke, run up to God. Oh wait, no more, Zeke,
He's not there. Okay, throw a slant, throw a couple
of slants, throw a dump off, pass, punt, play defense, rinse, repeat,
boom done. Schottenheimer is like a cardboard cutout, or if
(10:50):
you go to those fast food restaurants, you know some
of them have the they have the ceramic mascot out
in front of the statue U. Yeah like that, that's
kind of like what that is there, And so he's
like the cardboard cutout on the sidelines there, and Jerry's
up in the owner's box with his binoculars. He's got
the goblet of Johnny Walker blue and he's pretending to
be some kind of Lombardi like figure there, reincarnated in
(11:12):
the in the box. And you think Tom Brady's gonna
walk away from a Fox meeting with some nuclear codes
or something like that. Of course not. But the Cowboys
secret game plan. Oh, it's such a secret. The secret
game plan is the what is it? He's like the
football version of the Starbucks pumpkin spice Lotte. It comes
(11:34):
back every year, same ingredients, right, and yeah, you're like
it's okay, but you know, I don't really need it.
You know, you might regret it. And all that. I
did love the part where Schottenheimer says everybody's got everybody's playbook,
everybody knows somebody and all that. It's like saying every
restaurant has salt and pepper and it's right, yeah, no kidding.
(11:55):
We know that they all have salt and pepper, but
the real chefs actually know how to cook with it.
And Tom, I'm Brady for all the gusto and all
the brains and all those shiny trophies, and won with
the Patriots on that one in Tampa Bay. You give
Tom Brady Gino Smith and it's like Bill Belichick coaching
Mac Jones. No luck, all right, no luck. It's he's
(12:16):
trying to eat blood sausage dumplings. Not a good meal.
Not a good meal, all right. Last thing, to Atlanta?
We go, Why oh we go where the news of
the day takes us? So running back Bjon Robinson off
to a strong start, how strong he? Falcons head coach
Raheem Morris was singing the praises. He was singing sweet
(12:38):
little byes about Bjon Robinson. He went as far as
to say that quote, definitely, Butjon Robinson is the best
player in the NFL. That's right, he said. Quote, He's
definitely the best player in football, without a doubt. Rahee
Morris said this week Robinson currently ranks number five in
(13:01):
the NFL. Number five. Yeah, we have a button for
everything in rushing yards and is tied with forty nine
er star Christian McCaffrey for the most receiving yards among
all running backs so far this season. So question is
Falcon running back Mahan Robinson definitely, as his coach said,
the best football player around, best player in football. So
(13:23):
Raheem Morris what he did on this one is he
took the ladle, he dipped it in that Georgia peach cobbler,
and he poured it right into the media's ear and
then he sang a song. Zippity dude, da zippity day.
My oh my, what a puff piece today. This is puffery,
plain and simple. We know it, we all know it.
(13:43):
I still get a kick out of it. It's Raheem
Morris doing what coaches are supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
You've got your new favorite toy. You want to build
up the confidence of it, and you know, crank up
the old amplifier to eleven. If Raheem were coaching Sequon Barkley,
he'd be saying the exact same thing. Or Christian McCaffrey,
that's how the game is played. Or Derrick Henry, this
is the classic coach move. You pour honey in your ear,
(14:10):
you rub your shoulders, and you tell you you're the
the best thing since Chick fil A's waffle fries. You're
so good, you're just like the waffle fries. It's your
special pep talk. They do that in youth soccer. They
do that. Now that being said, you and I both
know the legal definition of best is what. That's right,
(14:35):
You're a good p one. You know, the legal definition
for the term best is as good as all the
rest in that category. That is why right now, wherever
you are, just down the street, there's a sandwich shop
that says the world's best hogi the world's best pizza.
As long as you say the best, you don't get suit.
You can't lose a lawsuit using that, as I understand it,
(14:59):
because the best, the legal definition and advertising, means as
good as all the rest. So of course we know
success is not about an occasional highlight in the real world, right,
the real world, Like technically Raheem Morris is not wrong.
He can say that he's not incorrect, But in the
real world, people hear the word best and they believe
(15:20):
it actually is better. It's it's one of those phrases
and I've studied this. I read a book years ago
about infomercials because I was fascinated. When I was growing up,
I was we didn't really have the internet so much,
but we had we had infomercials late at night. We
had commercials that were over the top, right, and it's like,
how do they what are the tricks? And so I've
read this book and some of the things that resonated.
(15:42):
There's certain phrases that people overlook. It's like when you
go shopping and you hear up to fifty percent off, well,
up to fifty percent off is likely about two percent
off if that, but people see up to they assume
it means whatever the number next to up to is.
It's one of those weird things where it's it's it's
like a mind hack. And the term best is the
(16:03):
same as well. People hear the term best and they
think better than the best. I know Terry in England
always thinks that when he does his list. But success
is again not about the occasional highlight that goes viral
on TikTok. It's about consistency. You can't be sporadically great.
You can't have two good games and then suddenly you
are called zeus on the mountaintop. That's not how ors.
(16:24):
It is propaganda now. But Jeanne's fun, he's explosive. I
don't have anything against the guy. Is he the best?
Better than all the other? Run back? No, and we'll
see how this shakes out. Everyone's been telling me for
a couple of years that he's got all the town
in the world and he's gonna be the breakout star
and he's gonna carry the Atlanta Falcons. It's not Michael Pennex.
It's this guy and not there yet? Now, will I
(16:47):

(19:52):
Robbie the Mariner fan who is a Falcon fanboy. Very
odd combination, says be Jean Robinson is the better than
the best running back in the NFL. He's the future
Hall of Famer along with Julio Jones and Matty Ice.
Raheem Morris isn't a very good coach, though, that is true.
James the Pool Guy is listening and he says, Ben,
(20:17):
I want you to know they still use your picture
from nineteen seventy three on the app. I'm sure you
look the same. Yes, I've been here a long time
and they've had a couple of photo shoots and what
I do and I have this is a skill. Not
(20:38):
everyone in radio has this skill, so they've done. I
think I've been here way too long. I've had maybe
four photo shoots for Fox Sports Radio, and every time
they've done a photo shoot, every single time, I'm Mike
Turkey before Thanksgiving, I fatten up right before the photo
shoot to get really fat for the photos wonderful and
(21:01):
the only good publicity photos I've had taken over by
NBC when I did the TV show. They did really
good photos, but the radio photos are terrible. That's a
terrible photo terrific, but I don't think we'll be having
another photo shoot. I don't think that. But thanks James
the pool guy. I'm glad you're out there. I know
you work the dreaded day shift. So there you go.
(21:22):
All right, very nice. Let's go to the phones and
we'll say hello to Van the one legged Baba Man. Hello,
Van the one legged Bamba Man. Hello. If I was
any better, i'd be sleeping.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
But you're up early, absolutely crazy hour.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Okay, well about about an hour ago.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
But okay, I got you a beanie for the peenie
like I know you hate. I know you hate chasers,
but yeah, did I pease both flow down to four?
And they've won thirteen and fourteen against the Dolphins, one nine,
the last nine in Buffalo. I t yeah, the Jaguars
(22:10):
to plus five. They that's that's the especially need a
single game bet calls. Houston lostone Monday that football and
their own red Detex.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah. Yeah, So I as you know, I am not
a big teaser guy. I don't normally fights around with
I don't normally fights around with teasers. If I were
to futz around, I'm just looking at the card here
and I will have the Benny versus the panything. I'll
be up later today and all that, I would think.
Just see, I can't imagine Seattle losing to the Saints,
(22:45):
and you get that at like one and a half.
The Saints are terrible. I think you should. But the
only problem with that is just Sam Donald. And you know,
do you really trust Sam Donald with your money? That's
the problem with that one. That betting against bad teams.
That's the first road game that's not bad. And I
can't imagine the Rams getting blown out by the e
(23:08):
Rams could lose that game. I don't think they're gonna
get blown out. So if you're getting ten points, I
think that's a fourth quarter game. It comes down to
a play in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
So win.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
That guy McVeigh. That guy McVeigh knows and McVeagh seems
to know what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah, yeah, very good.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, they're not winning anything this year. They're done. They
got they got you know, they got you know what
it is, man, they got no dog in them. They
only just don't fight. They're not very just they're like
they're a good bad baseball team, Like they have a
good record. But I don't I don't know, I just
(23:51):
just they're not There's something now, as you know, man,
because you're a baseball guy, Van, that we see this
every year, that the Dodgers I thought last year weren't
partic good, and then in October they they turned it on.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
So yeah, you're right, that plays the best and regularly
necessarily out.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Exactly exactly and only anyone particularly is that the Brewers
were great for like two months. They cooled off a
little bit, and you.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Know the Red.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah, the Phillies are tough. I mean, I thought, I
can't believe they haven't won with this group like the
last couple of years they've been they've been, they've been
loaded for the last several years, and they haven't won
a World Series. He got there, so yeah, for sure.
Yeah all right, man, list how's how's the leg here?
Of course, I love telling the story about I always
(24:44):
tell my friends about They ask about the radio show.
I said, let me tell you about Van the One
Legged Bama Man, the ultimate story for those for those
that don't know, Van the one Legged Bama Man had
his leg bitten off by a gator and then they
killed the gator and ate the gator. How great is
that that's an amazing story. That is one of the
all time great stories.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I got cancer and I have some coming out, so
it's always so well, hear you.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
We'll hang in there and good luck him if they
catch that. You know, I don't. I don't know your situation.
Hopefully they can take care of you and keep your
many many more years. All right, thank you Van. All right,
there's a van, the one legged bam a man. He's
been through the wringer a van. Absolutely, it would be
cool to only have one leg. There's I can say something,
(25:36):
but I think let's go to a not Choe average,
not Joe average. What's up? Not Joe average? Oh your
phone sucks? Not your average? Oh no, oh no, oh
your son. I can't take the call. I get fired.
(25:56):
I can't take the car. I want to take the car.
I can't take the call. I can't take a call.
Would have been a good call? Why the phone died?
A good call? Bull crap? It was a good call,
all right. I think maybe we might have had it
worked out here. All right, Nat your average? You're back?
(26:16):
Not your average? No? All right, he still sound horrible.
That's not good. Why is it that when I pick
up the receiver. He sounds fine and I'm talking to him.
What line is he on?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Five?
Speaker 6 (26:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Much? Five? You might want to contact engineering and let
him know when they wake up that line five is
fed up. All right? That sucks. That's going well. Here
we go. Keg drinking Steve, Hello, kig drinking Steve.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Oh, nacho, nacho man. That guy sounds great. That actually
improved the show man. That was That was fantastic. What
did you think about the mediocre broadcaster Tom Brady who
is skip maless, can't even listen to anymore. He said
that the Eagles are cheating. Tom Brady should know. He's
(27:13):
the master. He's the all time master of cheating. They're
gonna report him. Andy Reid's going to report them to
the league. The Chiefs stopped the brotherly show the toosh post,
and then they got it on the next on the
next down. But I think this is fantastic that we're
finally exposing all the cheaters in the NFL that won
(27:33):
the Super Bowl. Maybe they should go to give us
the Super Bowl the Eagles or the Eagles are professional cheaters.
I haven't heard anybody talking. I haven't heard anybody talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
It now I like the fact that you're avoiding the
pink elephant in the room, the Komodo dragon in the
corner of the room here, the heel monster over there,
the giant oversized heela monster. Which is your team, mister
Kansas City boy. The Chiefs, who right now are in
the running for the number one overall in the twenty
six NFL Draft. In fact, if you go over to
(28:07):
Tankafon right now, the Chiefs would be picking eighth, but
they're tied with the Chad Saints, Dolphins, Browns, Titans, Bears, Carolina,
and Houston all it own to so right now they'd
be eighth overall.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Oh Sam, good to me, man, we need then. You
don't understand this is all preseason. The next six weeks
are preseason. It doesn't matter. We're gonna win the Super
Bowl at nine and eight. Everybody in the whole league
is terrible, except for Green Bay. Maybe they would be
a challenge for the Chiefs, but we're just gonna skate
(28:39):
on through and get a wide receivers back and and
well we've done this before. You have to understand we
won a Super Bowl going on the roads, going every
game on the road, So it makes no difference. You
cannot stop us. We're gonna get Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Hope.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Well, the Miami Dolphins lose, lose tonight, why why not.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Go and get you a get Justin Jefferson. He's pretty good.
How about that?
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Listen, listen, you can take us at plus two fifty
to win, to win the division or off. There's there's
a money making opportunity right right here.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Man.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
What's a wounded animal is the most dangerous animal in civilization.
So when all you guys are shocked when we take
home titles as a five hundred record that I'm going to,
I'll be standing alone on Mount Everest like I always am.
With my thought.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I thought you were. You were going to stand on
Mount Mahomes, not Mount Everest.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
What do you think of? What do you think about
Bill Belichick's girlfriend wanting to have a partner wanting to
take over Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Well, there you go. You must be reading my mind.
This is all over the tabloids. Look at you. You
you you read the tabloids so much you're unbelievable. What
about it? You love Chiefs football? Yeah, so all right,
shut up for a second, take a breath. All right,
So is doc Mike would say, take a break. So
the tabloids are saying Bill Belichick's lady friend, the twenty
(30:05):
four year old Jordann Hudson, was going to be on
Dancing with the Stars, like the very popular shows. One
of the few shows that isn't sports that people watch
every week, Dancing with the Stars, and so she was
going to be on it. That seems to be kind
of a big deal. And the tabloids say that she
was supposed to be one of the stars this season,
but two days before the cast was announced, they called
(30:26):
off the deal. She was supposed to be on. But
apparently she was such a diva that she had all
this long list of demands that she wanted from the
producers and they're like, well, you're really nobody other than
the person you're sleeping with, so we don't really need you.
You're kind of a headache. You're not exactly Taylor Swift
over there. So yeah, she didn't end up doing it,
(30:50):
but she wanted control over all kinds of as this
guy said, the dance partner when to practice so she
could attend games with you know, Bellichie and all that stuff,
And she didn't like the direction of the show. Her
story on the show, according to the tablets, a big
story in the Daily Mail, sounds very diva ish, don't
(31:12):
you think, Yeah, wouldn't you think this is her fifteen
minutes of fame? We're real you, Yeah, exactly Like Belichick's
kind of old and it doesn't go well at North Carolina.
He'll be out there, maybe he'll his family will hold
an intervention, they'll he'll dump her or whatever. So then
she's nobody again. So yeah, unbelievable. All right, thank you,
(31:35):
key drinking Steve. Let's go to Cowboy John Brad and Windsor, Ontario.

a couple of weeks back.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Got Bruce kill boney.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Oh that's the worst man. I heard my tailbone a

It was the worst haterday. All right, thank you. Daniel
Rick in Maryland, he's known his morning time. Hello Rick,
good morning time.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
The first two years you teach your children how to talk,
and in next fifteen you can't.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
Teach them to shut up.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
You're a deep thinker, Rick's. That's about the way life is,
right and then at some point you want them to
talk to you and then they ignore you. It's weird anyway.
All right, here we go Story number one. Devonte Adams
mister Taco Bell themselves here to many commercials over the years.
He's the Rams wide receiver. James Taco Bell is trading
in for a younger model Taco Bell currently featuring their
(37:06):
decades wide two K menu. They hired Jamar Chase. Say
it ain't so the Bengals wide receiver was born the
year two thousand. To help promote the limited time throwback
menu item story number two celebrating the life in Times
of the Natural, Robert Redford passed away this week. He
died after a great career in entertainment. The New York
(37:27):
Mets pay tribute. They recreated the iconic home run from
the Natural. Third baseman Brett Battye hit a four hundred
and sixty foot home run and they had the lights.
The cameras panned the city field lights, the fireworks explosions.
It was pretty cool. And story number three, Robert Kraft
really loves Bill Belichick. How much so Robert Craft? He
apparently is willing to pay almost a million dollars to
(37:48):
hang out with Tom Brady as the Craft was at
the Stars studded charity event this past week and he
did nine hundred thousand dollars. Robert Craft to golf with
Tom Brady, right unless he didn't. So which of those
stories is not true? Figure out the fake one and
we'll start with the Leslie slash Mike Milkman Mike one

Talented guy by Blind Scott one Tour three Blind scot.
Speaker 5 (38:21):

Morning Time.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
One?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Number one? Guess what? Rick, You're right number one. That
was the fake story this week. You are a winner
Here we go. It's all about the brotherly show better
known as the Tush Push in hour four on this Thursday.
Don't forget Benny Versus the Penny is a global show.
Now we've graduated to the global market and you can
watch the Benny Versus the Penny. I want my pick
(00:20):
on tonight's NFL game against the Spread. Little handicapping for you.
That's only available on YouTube. YouTube dot com slash at Bennivspenny.
That's YouTube dot com slash at Bennyvspenny. You can watch
the big YouTube. It's just an appetizer. Later today there'll
be the full show that will break down all the
(00:41):
key matchups in the NFL this weekend. But here in
hour number four, what are the chances the Eagles Tush
Push is banned after the season, as there are reports
saying it is now doomed after the events of the
previous weekend. Also, how do you read these comments from
Cowboys coach Brian Schottenneimer not being worried is not worried
about Tom Brady working some kind of dragnet operation for
(01:04):
the Raiders when they talk to the Cowboys and his
Falcons running back John Robinson definitely the best player in football.
That's what his coach said. Will analyze that quote and more.
Right now, have a wonderful Thursday. Don't forget Benny versus
the Penny on the YouTube, but here it is our
number four. The push is on. Welcome in the beginning
(01:30):
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are
in the air everywhere as we fan the breeze, and
we never give you the silent treatment, because in my job,
that's really really bad. Coast, the coast, border, the border
and beyond on the bass and ludicrously powerful microphones of
(01:54):
fs are amminating live from the block, the stumbling block
of sports talk from the world famous Fox Sports Radio
studios that Frida, Daddy and Jonathan and Delaware love so much.
Now this portion of the Ben Maler Show made possible
in part by our friends at Express Employment Professionals. Business
(02:14):
fluctuations make running your manufacturing business complex, but staffing your
business does not have to be. Let Express Employment Professionals
provide the workforce you need. Go to expresspros dot com
to find the location near you. That's expresspros dot com.
I see the thumbs up there from Alf the Alien Opiners.
So we can continue, been yapping away here all night long,
(02:37):
and if you're getting up early trying to get to
jump on traffic here, welcome in this hour our lead
from Philadelphia. Another day and yet another storyline about the tushy.
That's right, the Philadelphia Eagles. They're infamous tush push play,
the tushy scene around the world against the Kansas City
(02:58):
Chiefs at Arrowhead this past week. We can continues to
have some life to it. If you've not heard the
latest on this, perhaps not to Adam Schefter, I've heard
of him. He tells us the tush push is on
quote life support around the NFL, that time is ticking
(03:18):
away on Philly's pseudo quarterback sneak, the trickeration of the
Philadelphia Eagles the rugby play. So let us discuss the
question now. Schefter said in his reporting that the play
is on life support. What are the actual chances that
the Eagles tush push is banned after the twenty twenty
(03:41):
five seasons. So I've got Jat Kermit, the Frog and
waffle Fries, and we will combine all of these things
together and for our friend in Florida, We're gonna make
the Goabba Goool we're gonna make the Goabba goool to
lead off here. I am not bullish on the schefter
(04:05):
reporting that the tush pushes on life support. The Malor
odds on this are plus three point fifty five. Those
are the Maler Sportsbook odds. Now that implies using Malormath,
a twenty two point two percent chance the tush pushes man.
So how did I come up with that number? Let
me go through and I'll show you my work. I
(04:25):
didn't use AI or anything like that, so that makes fine.
So the vote, if you go back to last offseason
in twenty twenty four, the vote came down to the wire.
It was a photo finish. The ban needed twenty four
votes in place. They got twenty two. So that means
there were ten other teams that did not vote to
(04:49):
ban the tushpush. So you're looking at those ten teams,
you're assuming that the twenty two teams will continue to
be against the tushy pushy. There's ten other teams, but
there's really only nine other teams because the Philadelphia Eagles,
I'm going to assume the position aren't going to vote
to ban the tush push. So you're dealing with nine teams.
So out of those nine teams, again we're eliminating the
(05:12):
Philadelphia Eagles for obvious reasons, that voted to keep the
play legal last season, you need to flip two of
the nine. So that's a two twenty two batting average,
So that I'm going with twenty two point two percent
because that's the man. So who are those teams? If
you're anti tush push, who needs to vote in favor
(05:33):
of it to get rid of it? So they are
the Ravens, the Browns, the Jaguars, the Miami Dolphins, the
New England Patriots, and you've got the New Orleans Saints.
I believe we're on there as well, the Jets and
the Titans and the Lions. So you've got that mix
of teams that are in there. And those are the nine,
(05:55):
all right, So just a couple of NFC teams, most
of them AFC teams. So two of the those teams
have to vote to say bye bye tushy. It's what
they have to do. And keep in mind, if you
do the math on this, the Birds convert the tush
push ninety six percent of the time. It started as
a gimmick and it has become an unstoppable force in
(06:18):
the NFL. That's some conversation in the overnight earlier with
our buddy Fry Daddy in Pennsylvania, Big Eagles guy, and
this play if it goes away, and again I don't
believe there's a high chance it goes away. We'll see
what happens the rest of the year. But the Eagles,
they would go from the champions of the NFL to jats.
(06:42):
That's just a team. They're just a team. After that.
It is the only thing that they are truly dominanting at.
That's it. That's the list right there. Jalen Hurts will
be asked to do more. If you get the tush
push and you take it away and you have to
do traditional quarterbacks neak, he'll be asked to do more.
And he hasn't shown that he can be the guy.
(07:05):
You're not that guy, Palp, You're not that guy. For example,
Jalen Hurts this season has two completions of ten or
more air yards. Two it's dink and dunk, it's right
at the line of scrimmage, its short passes within five yards.
He's only got two passes of ten or more air yards.
That is tied with Tyrod Taylor, the backup quarterback for
(07:28):
the Jets. Tyrod Taylor for thirty fourth in the NFL.
We are two games into the season. There's obviously a
lot of real estate to navigate and circumvent around the NFL. However,
we have to worry about the show we're doing right now,
this hour and this hour. Like I said, the math
is twenty two point two percent based on the nine
teams having to flip two votes out of those nine teams,
(07:52):
and then at the same time you have to keep
everyone else, all the other teams that will continue to
vote against the touchbucks. Now, furthermore, we go to Dallas,
another storyline of the week, which goes back to Monday
Night football making his coaching debut. Tom Brady on the
wrong side of a blowout loss as his Raiders lost
a bad job by Brady. So in Dallas, Cowboys coach
(08:16):
Brian Schottenheimer announced not concerned. He's not concerned about letting
secrets out, those state secrets. During a Fox production meeting,
he has no problems with Tom Brady. In fact, Brady's
doing the game this weekend between Dallas and Chicago, that
is the big Fox game this weekend. Helps Otter, Jim
(08:39):
Nantz and Romo. They got assigned to the Minnesota Cincinnati game.
The battle of backups. Who goofed? I've got to know. Anyway,
So this is about the Cowboys and the quote from
Schottenheimer said, he said this quote. Everybody has everybody's playbook.
Everybody knows somebody that knows somebody that's been some place.
(09:03):
I don't have a problem with it, Schottenheimer said. Some
people might. But look, I'll talk football with anybody close.
Quote that is from Brian Schottenheimer, the temporary coach or
the Dallas Cowboys the interim coach. All right, so here's
the deal. That game the Cowboys visit the Raiders November seventeenth,
(09:24):
So it's a month from now, a little less than
a month from now. And that game is on Monday Night,
which means Tom Brady will be in the coach's box again.
So one of Schottenheimer's mentors is Raiders coach Pete Carroll.
I would think his dad's more of a mentor than that.
But anyway, question, how do you read these comments? How
(09:45):
do you read these comments from Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer
on being worried or not being worried in this case
about Tom Brady working some kind of secret dragnet operation
for the Raiders. So Brian schotneimber I thought about it.
It actually makes sense on this one on a couple
of levels. The obvious one is Schottenheimer has no secrets
to start with, so if you have no secrets, you
(10:06):
have nothing to worry about. He's a sock puppet. Brian
Schttenheimer is essentially Kermit the Frog, and Jerry Jones is
Jim Henson. If you know the history of the Muppets,
and Jerry's playing the role of Jim Henson, He's got
his hand jammed up Kermit the coach and the back there.
So what intel do you think shotting would give away?
Like the Cowboys playbook has been the same ever since
(10:30):
Jimmy Johnson essentially had a mullet, right. You know, it's
a run and it used to be emmet. Then it
was Zeke, run up to God. Oh wait, no more, Zeke,
He's not there. Okay, throw a slant, throw a couple
of slants, throw a dump off, pass, punt, play defense, rinse, repeat,
boom done. Schottenheimer is like a cardboard cutout, or if
(10:50):
you go to those fast food restaurants, you know some
of them have the they have the ceramic mascot out
in front of the statue U. Yeah like that, that's
kind of like what that is there, And so he's
like the cardboard cutout on the sidelines there, and Jerry's
up in the owner's box with his binoculars. He's got
the goblet of Johnny Walker blue and he's pretending to
be some kind of Lombardi like figure there, reincarnated in
(11:12):
the in the box. And you think Tom Brady's gonna
walk away from a Fox meeting with some nuclear codes
or something like that. Of course not. But the Cowboys
secret game plan. Oh, it's such a secret. The secret
game plan is the what is it? He's like the
football version of the Starbucks pumpkin spice Lotte. It comes
(11:34):
back every year, same ingredients, right, and yeah, you're like
it's okay, but you know, I don't really need it.
You know, you might regret it. And all that. I
did love the part where Schottenheimer says everybody's got everybody's playbook,
everybody knows somebody and all that. It's like saying every
restaurant has salt and pepper and it's right, yeah, no kidding.
(11:55):
We know that they all have salt and pepper, but
the real chefs actually know how to cook with it.
And Tom, I'm Brady for all the gusto and all
the brains and all those shiny trophies, and won with
the Patriots on that one in Tampa Bay. You give
Tom Brady Gino Smith and it's like Bill Belichick coaching
Mac Jones. No luck, all right, no luck. It's he's
(12:16):
trying to eat blood sausage dumplings. Not a good meal.
Not a good meal, all right. Last thing, to Atlanta?
We go, Why oh we go where the news of
the day takes us? So running back Bjon Robinson off
to a strong start, how strong he? Falcons head coach
Raheem Morris was singing the praises. He was singing sweet
(12:38):
little byes about Bjon Robinson. He went as far as
to say that quote, definitely, Butjon Robinson is the best
player in the NFL. That's right, he said. Quote, He's
definitely the best player in football, without a doubt. Rahee
Morris said this week Robinson currently ranks number five in
(13:01):
the NFL. Number five. Yeah, we have a button for
everything in rushing yards and is tied with forty nine
er star Christian McCaffrey for the most receiving yards among
all running backs so far this season. So question is
Falcon running back Mahan Robinson definitely, as his coach said,
the best football player around, best player in football. So
(13:23):
Raheem Morris what he did on this one is he
took the ladle, he dipped it in that Georgia peach cobbler,
and he poured it right into the media's ear and
then he sang a song. Zippity dude, da zippity day.
My oh my, what a puff piece today. This is puffery,
plain and simple. We know it, we all know it.
(13:43):
I still get a kick out of it. It's Raheem
Morris doing what coaches are supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
You've got your new favorite toy. You want to build
up the confidence of it, and you know, crank up
the old amplifier to eleven. If Raheem were coaching Sequon Barkley,
he'd be saying the exact same thing. Or Christian McCaffrey,
that's how the game is played. Or Derrick Henry, this
is the classic coach move. You pour honey in your ear,
(14:10):
you rub your shoulders, and you tell you you're the
the best thing since Chick fil A's waffle fries. You're
so good, you're just like the waffle fries. It's your
special pep talk. They do that in youth soccer. They
do that. Now that being said, you and I both
know the legal definition of best is what. That's right,
(14:35):
You're a good p one. You know, the legal definition
for the term best is as good as all the
rest in that category. That is why right now, wherever
you are, just down the street, there's a sandwich shop
that says the world's best hogi the world's best pizza.
As long as you say the best, you don't get suit.
You can't lose a lawsuit using that, as I understand it,
(14:59):
because the best, the legal definition and advertising, means as
good as all the rest. So of course we know
success is not about an occasional highlight in the real world, right,
the real world, Like technically Raheem Morris is not wrong.
He can say that he's not incorrect, But in the
real world, people hear the word best and they believe
(15:20):
it actually is better. It's it's one of those phrases
and I've studied this. I read a book years ago
about infomercials because I was fascinated. When I was growing up,
I was we didn't really have the internet so much,
but we had we had infomercials late at night. We
had commercials that were over the top, right, and it's like,
how do they what are the tricks? And so I've
read this book and some of the things that resonated.
(15:42):
There's certain phrases that people overlook. It's like when you
go shopping and you hear up to fifty percent off, well,
up to fifty percent off is likely about two percent
off if that, but people see up to they assume
it means whatever the number next to up to is.
It's one of those weird things where it's it's it's
like a mind hack. And the term best is the
(16:03):
same as well. People hear the term best and they
think better than the best. I know Terry in England
always thinks that when he does his list. But success
is again not about the occasional highlight that goes viral
on TikTok. It's about consistency. You can't be sporadically great.
You can't have two good games and then suddenly you
are called zeus on the mountaintop. That's not how ors.
(16:24):
It is propaganda now. But Jeanne's fun, he's explosive. I
don't have anything against the guy. Is he the best?
Better than all the other? Run back? No, and we'll
see how this shakes out. Everyone's been telling me for
a couple of years that he's got all the town
in the world and he's gonna be the breakout star
and he's gonna carry the Atlanta Falcons. It's not Michael Pennex.
It's this guy and not there yet? Now, will I
(16:47):
get there? Stay tuned, same time, same station. We'll let

boys are listening there in El Pass. I'm supposed to
(19:05):

And now back to it. We go all right back

have whether you like it or not, fact or fiction.
Belichick ends up in the tabloids. Again. We'll get to
that coming up in a couple of minutes. Let's hear
(19:52):
Robbie the Mariner fan who is a Falcon fanboy. Very
odd combination, says be Jean Robinson is the better than
the best running back in the NFL. He's the future
Hall of Famer along with Julio Jones and Matty Ice.
Raheem Morris isn't a very good coach, though, that is true.
James the Pool Guy is listening and he says, Ben,
(20:17):
I want you to know they still use your picture
from nineteen seventy three on the app. I'm sure you
look the same. Yes, I've been here a long time
and they've had a couple of photo shoots and what
I do and I have this is a skill. Not
(20:38):
everyone in radio has this skill, so they've done. I
think I've been here way too long. I've had maybe
four photo shoots for Fox Sports Radio, and every time
they've done a photo shoot, every single time, I'm Mike
Turkey before Thanksgiving, I fatten up right before the photo
shoot to get really fat for the photos wonderful and
(21:01):
the only good publicity photos I've had taken over by
NBC when I did the TV show. They did really
good photos, but the radio photos are terrible. That's a
terrible photo terrific, but I don't think we'll be having
another photo shoot. I don't think that. But thanks James
the pool guy. I'm glad you're out there. I know
you work the dreaded day shift. So there you go.
(21:22):
All right, very nice. Let's go to the phones and
we'll say hello to Van the one legged Baba Man. Hello,
Van the one legged Bamba Man. Hello. If I was
any better, i'd be sleeping.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
But you're up early, absolutely crazy hour.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Okay, well about about an hour ago.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
But okay, I got you a beanie for the peenie
like I know you hate. I know you hate chasers,
but yeah, did I pease both flow down to four?
And they've won thirteen and fourteen against the Dolphins, one nine,
the last nine in Buffalo. I t yeah, the Jaguars
(22:10):
to plus five. They that's that's the especially need a
single game bet calls. Houston lostone Monday that football and
their own red Detex.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah. Yeah, So I as you know, I am not
a big teaser guy. I don't normally fights around with
I don't normally fights around with teasers. If I were
to futz around, I'm just looking at the card here
and I will have the Benny versus the panything. I'll
be up later today and all that, I would think.
Just see, I can't imagine Seattle losing to the Saints,
(22:45):
and you get that at like one and a half.
The Saints are terrible. I think you should. But the
only problem with that is just Sam Donald. And you know,
do you really trust Sam Donald with your money? That's
the problem with that one. That betting against bad teams.
That's the first road game that's not bad. And I
can't imagine the Rams getting blown out by the e
(23:08):
Rams could lose that game. I don't think they're gonna
get blown out. So if you're getting ten points, I
think that's a fourth quarter game. It comes down to
a play in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
So win.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
That guy McVeigh. That guy McVeigh knows and McVeagh seems
to know what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah, yeah, very good.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, they're not winning anything this year. They're done. They
got they got you know, they got you know what
it is, man, they got no dog in them. They
only just don't fight. They're not very just they're like
they're a good bad baseball team, Like they have a
good record. But I don't I don't know, I just
(23:51):
just they're not There's something now, as you know, man,
because you're a baseball guy, Van, that we see this
every year, that the Dodgers I thought last year weren't
partic good, and then in October they they turned it on.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
So yeah, you're right, that plays the best and regularly
necessarily out.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Exactly exactly and only anyone particularly is that the Brewers
were great for like two months. They cooled off a
little bit, and you.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Know the Red.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah, the Phillies are tough. I mean, I thought, I
can't believe they haven't won with this group like the
last couple of years they've been they've been, they've been
loaded for the last several years, and they haven't won
a World Series. He got there, so yeah, for sure.
Yeah all right, man, list how's how's the leg here?
Of course, I love telling the story about I always
(24:44):
tell my friends about They ask about the radio show.
I said, let me tell you about Van the One
Legged Bama Man, the ultimate story for those for those
that don't know, Van the one Legged Bama Man had
his leg bitten off by a gator and then they
killed the gator and ate the gator. How great is
that that's an amazing story. That is one of the
all time great stories.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I got cancer and I have some coming out, so
it's always so well, hear you.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
We'll hang in there and good luck him if they
catch that. You know, I don't. I don't know your situation.
Hopefully they can take care of you and keep your
many many more years. All right, thank you Van. All right,
there's a van, the one legged bam a man. He's
been through the wringer a van. Absolutely, it would be
cool to only have one leg. There's I can say something,
(25:36):
but I think let's go to a not Choe average,
not Joe average. What's up? Not Joe average? Oh your
phone sucks? Not your average? Oh no, oh no, oh
your son. I can't take the call. I get fired.
(25:56):
I can't take the car. I want to take the car.
I can't take the call. I can't take a call.
Would have been a good call? Why the phone died?
A good call? Bull crap? It was a good call,
all right. I think maybe we might have had it
worked out here. All right, Nat your average? You're back?
(26:16):
Not your average? No? All right, he still sound horrible.
That's not good. Why is it that when I pick
up the receiver. He sounds fine and I'm talking to him.
What line is he on?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Five?
Speaker 6 (26:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Much? Five? You might want to contact engineering and let
him know when they wake up that line five is
fed up. All right? That sucks. That's going well. Here
we go. Keg drinking Steve, Hello, kig drinking Steve.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Oh, nacho, nacho man. That guy sounds great. That actually
improved the show man. That was That was fantastic. What
did you think about the mediocre broadcaster Tom Brady who
is skip maless, can't even listen to anymore. He said
that the Eagles are cheating. Tom Brady should know. He's
(27:13):
the master. He's the all time master of cheating. They're
gonna report him. Andy Reid's going to report them to
the league. The Chiefs stopped the brotherly show the toosh post,
and then they got it on the next on the
next down. But I think this is fantastic that we're
finally exposing all the cheaters in the NFL that won
(27:33):
the Super Bowl. Maybe they should go to give us
the Super Bowl the Eagles or the Eagles are professional cheaters.
I haven't heard anybody talking. I haven't heard anybody talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
It now I like the fact that you're avoiding the
pink elephant in the room, the Komodo dragon in the
corner of the room here, the heel monster over there,
the giant oversized heela monster. Which is your team, mister
Kansas City boy. The Chiefs, who right now are in
the running for the number one overall in the twenty
six NFL Draft. In fact, if you go over to
(28:07):
Tankafon right now, the Chiefs would be picking eighth, but
they're tied with the Chad Saints, Dolphins, Browns, Titans, Bears, Carolina,
and Houston all it own to so right now they'd
be eighth overall.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Oh Sam, good to me, man, we need then. You
don't understand this is all preseason. The next six weeks
are preseason. It doesn't matter. We're gonna win the Super
Bowl at nine and eight. Everybody in the whole league
is terrible, except for Green Bay. Maybe they would be
a challenge for the Chiefs, but we're just gonna skate
(28:39):
on through and get a wide receivers back and and
well we've done this before. You have to understand we
won a Super Bowl going on the roads, going every
game on the road, So it makes no difference. You
cannot stop us. We're gonna get Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Hope.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Well, the Miami Dolphins lose, lose tonight, why why not.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Go and get you a get Justin Jefferson. He's pretty good.
How about that?
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Listen, listen, you can take us at plus two fifty
to win, to win the division or off. There's there's
a money making opportunity right right here.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Man.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
What's a wounded animal is the most dangerous animal in civilization.
So when all you guys are shocked when we take
home titles as a five hundred record that I'm going to,
I'll be standing alone on Mount Everest like I always am.
With my thought.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I thought you were. You were going to stand on
Mount Mahomes, not Mount Everest.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
What do you think of? What do you think about
Bill Belichick's girlfriend wanting to have a partner wanting to
take over Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Well, there you go. You must be reading my mind.
This is all over the tabloids. Look at you. You
you you read the tabloids so much you're unbelievable. What
about it? You love Chiefs football? Yeah, so all right,
shut up for a second, take a breath. All right,
So is doc Mike would say, take a break. So
the tabloids are saying Bill Belichick's lady friend, the twenty
(30:05):
four year old Jordann Hudson, was going to be on
Dancing with the Stars, like the very popular shows. One
of the few shows that isn't sports that people watch
every week, Dancing with the Stars, and so she was
going to be on it. That seems to be kind
of a big deal. And the tabloids say that she
was supposed to be one of the stars this season,
but two days before the cast was announced, they called
(30:26):
off the deal. She was supposed to be on. But
apparently she was such a diva that she had all
this long list of demands that she wanted from the
producers and they're like, well, you're really nobody other than
the person you're sleeping with, so we don't really need you.
You're kind of a headache. You're not exactly Taylor Swift
over there. So yeah, she didn't end up doing it,
(30:50):
but she wanted control over all kinds of as this
guy said, the dance partner when to practice so she
could attend games with you know, Bellichie and all that stuff,
And she didn't like the direction of the show. Her
story on the show, according to the tablets, a big
story in the Daily Mail, sounds very diva ish, don't
(31:12):
you think, Yeah, wouldn't you think this is her fifteen
minutes of fame? We're real you, Yeah, exactly Like Belichick's
kind of old and it doesn't go well at North Carolina.
He'll be out there, maybe he'll his family will hold
an intervention, they'll he'll dump her or whatever. So then
she's nobody again. So yeah, unbelievable. All right, thank you,
(31:35):
key drinking Steve. Let's go to Cowboy John Brad and Windsor, Ontario.
I need some judges. We are moments away from fact
or fiction, fact or fiction, and we'll get to that
