Right now, set you up for our number three. It's
a brown out, a brownout for you. Welcome in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
We are in.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
The air everywhere in combination. It's a combo dish as
we hang out. Minutes by minutes we spend together here
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
mast and side splittingly powerful microphones of fsre Emma Neating

(01:32):
Live from the Prime the Prime Meridian of Sports app
from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved
by the Rabid Porcupine. I'm not sure who that is,
but they're apparently a big fan of the show. This
portion of The Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible

(01:52):
in part by our friends at ty Iraq. For over
forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers like mister
Nice Guy and Mark the full name Guy find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
fast and free back by free road hazard protection with

dot com. So that sets us up. Baseball played playoff
baseball on Tuesday. Now we're in October here ooh spooky,
it's Halloween right around the corner.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Scary, very scary.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
But here in our number three. Not gonna talk baseball.
Nuts in football, and we start out in the land.
Remember the rule of show bad makes good talk radio.
Bad teams make good talk radio. So we have a
shake up, shake up in the two one six, a

(03:23):
shakeup in the two one six.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Of course, the two to one six is the.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Area code there, but in London, the I think the
code is like one three two two.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
I think it's the code there.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
In London, because that's where the Cleveland football team is.
If you have not heard by now maybe not. While
it's not official official, it's just partially official. We have
learned that the woe Begone Cleveland Browns. The Cleveland Browns
are expected to bench veteran quarterback Joe Flackel. How could
they bench Joe Flackel? He was the greatest quarterback in

(03:57):
the postseason, is the Super Bowl champion, He's getting benched,
and they're going to start rookie Dylan Gabriel.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Quack quack quack quack quack quack quack.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
It's a former Oregon Duck quarterback there. Moving forward. That
begins this Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, very early in the morning,
as the Cleveland Browns will take on the Minesota Vikings,
which I know, hollering James is excited about now that
change coming shortly after the in battled head coach Kevin Stefanski.

(04:32):
Not very fancy, but he's Stepfanski. Kevin Stefanski, sidestepping questions,
did not give a straight answer about the possibility of
changing quarterbacks. Following another embarrassing gutlass performance by the Cleveland
Browns in a blowout loss to the Detroit Lions. Cleveland
now one in three on the twenty twenty five NFL season.

(04:54):
The one win was a gift courtesy of curtsy of
Jordan Love, who handed the game to the Browns, and
they accepted the gift. But let us discuss. And I
want to play the word game. I like playing the
word game. Let's play the word game. I like words,
so let's play the word game. So here we go
the word game. The question the Cleveland Browns starting quarterback
Dylan Gabriel in London is blank.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Again, we're playing the word game.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
The Cleveland brown starting quarterback Dylan Gabriel in London is blank.
I've got Fedichini, Alfredo, bass, pro shops and scarlet letter.
We'll combine all these together and we'll make a nice
plate of Baba ganoosh is what we're gonna make to
to finish off the word game.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Though.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
The brown starting quarterback Dylan Gabriel in London is blank.
I wrote down a cry for help, is what I
wrote down?

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Man alive? What else do you say?

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Joe Flacco, who should be on a John Deere lawnmower
somewhere in dadd Gans is playing quarterback in the NFL,
and he is the so called adult in the room,
which I always getting kick out of. Right, Christy unfortunately
plays like an adult in the room. He plays like
he's eighty seven years old. You know what he plays like.

(06:14):
He plays like Arnie Spanier, our colleague who does a
weekend talk show. This year, my friend Arnie Spanier playing
pickup basketball at the YMCA and Vermont in Burlington, Vermont.
That is essentially Joe Flacco attempting to play quarterback in
the NFL. So his benching was another word I would use,
is inevitable. It was inevitable. You knew going in the

(06:35):
Browns were going to have a different quarterback every few games.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
That's just what they do.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
And Joe Flacco's stat line, it looks like the NFL
films crew brought back bloopers and practical jokes from the
NFL football follies with Joe Flacco.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
He is on pace. Go to my notes here.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
He's on pace for Joe Flacco eight point five touchdown passes,
twenty five point five interceptions, which I'm told is not good,
although I didn't play football, so I don't know if
I'm allowed to comment out to ask Ryan Clark, and
almost nine fumbles, So it works out to about thirty
five turnovers and less than ten touchdown passes for Joe Flacco.

(07:16):
That's not a quarterback. That is a pinata, is what
that is. And so Kem Stefanski really had no choice.
The Browns had no choice in this, and so now
the Browns it's a fun game. The Browns are taking
some Fetichini alfredo out of the water. The noodles, the
fetichini alfredo, and they are then throwing the noodles against

(07:38):
the wall, hoping that something sticks, hoping that something sticks
here hitting the reset button, the Browns are going back
to the factory settings. And as you know when you're
the Cleveland Browns, when you go back to the factory settings,
what you're doing is you're going back to the factory
of sadness, which is the Cleveland brown football operation. This

(07:59):
is a desperate heave across across the Atlantic. That's what
they're doing here. And you don't typically make this type
of change. You don't make a quarterback change and do
the old switcheroo with a rookie in a London game.
It's a short week, there's tight schedule, all that stuff,
and that's a panic movie.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
He's a flaca. Was so bad?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
How bad was the You had to leave him in there?
You had to take him out now, you couldn't leave
in there for one more game. So Dylan Gabriel, he's
getting not his baptism via fire. He's not getting baptized
by fire. He's getting baptized by fish and chips in London.
And he's about to sip the afternoon tea. I hope

(08:45):
he enjoys that. With Brian Flores the defensive coordinator there
dialing up all kinds of exotic blitzes every possible angle
from the Vikings, it's the welcome to the NFL, kid,
good luck and you know where this is going, So
Kevin stuff. After Dylan Gabriel goes out there and has
a middling performance and if he makes it through the

(09:06):
game healthy, who knows. Stefanski will then be playing not
spin the bottle, It's going to be Spin the quarterback.
And in about a month, if not sooner than that,
if not sooner than a month, by Thanksgiving, we're in
the month of October. I'd say just after Halloween. We're
talking Traudeur Sanders. He'll be the new brown Savior because

(09:31):
Flacco will come back in, He'll get hurt, Gabriel will
get hurt, and then they'll go to Shudur Sanders.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
That's the cycle.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
That's the brown Town cycle right there, and so good
luck on that. This is the Browns screaming in a
thick London fog. Somebody save us, please, somebody saves all
right now. Secondly, tes San Francisco, we go adjacent to
San Francisco, Northern California defensive fortiader Roberts Sala follow up

(10:02):
follow up to coach gone Mad Robert Salad. You see this,
He tried to downplay Robert Salah, tried to downplay the
drama o rama with the Jacksonville coach Liam Cohn, and in.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Doing so he admitted defeat. Yeah he did. That's right.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
And the need for damage control, the need for damage
scroll coming after Cohen.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Remember this is the goofy guy, dou All County. At
his introductory news conference, dou All count.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
His team beat Robert Sala's forty nine ers on Sunday
and they got into a beef.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Where's the beef? It was on the field.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
They got into it, a little back and forth there
little dosey dough and put your right foot in, take
your right foot out, and there you go and shake
it all about and they went back and forth.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
So Cohen was not having it. Yeah, that's the guy.
You think.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Toughness, that's what you think. You think, masculinity, you think
ma chiesmo, a man's man.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
You think Liam Cohen, don't you? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Really good play it again, man, dude ball. Yeah, that's
the guy that shoved Robert Salam's nos in it all right,
So they went back and forth the question on this one.
Where are you at? On forty nine Ers defensive coordinator
Robert Salim down playing the spat with Liam Cohne. Yeah now,

(11:37):
he famously after Cohen shouted, he quoted Will Smith, keep.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
My name out of your mouth.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
As he was being held back, he was like, it
was like an NBA fight where the you know, those
fake tough guys in the NBA, when there's seven people
in front of them, Come on me, bro, come on,
come on bro. You know Uh.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Kevin Garnett was the boy.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Was he famous for that when he played in the NBA,
like the biggest fake tough guy. He'd wait until where
there was a convoy of people around him and then
he'd put on the real thick tough guy. Yeah, yeah,
don't go. Don't mess with me man. Anyway, my reaction
to this and where I'm at, Robert Salah went full scarface,
he said, And they have the audio he said after

(12:25):
Cohen said keep my name out of your mouth, he said,
I will effing kill you.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
I will end you. Yeah, you just like went on
and on.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
I mean, I will effing end your effing life. Seems
a little dramatic for a football beef anyway, So now
he's backtacking, so again, fake tough guy, one O one.
That's my first thought. Second thought is Robert Sala went
down to bass pro shops. He purchased a boat. Now
why does Robert Salad need a boat? Because he's doing
some crawfishing. That's right, crawfishing. You're backing up like a

(12:57):
crawfish swims backwards, and he's doing the old double L
here double L for Robert Sala. Salah lost the game.
He lost the argument. That's embarrassing. I lost the argument.
And let's not forget that Liam Cohne. Who is is

(13:17):
he like the coolest nerd around because of the Duba County.
The guy looks like he should be doing a podcast
about different coffee and where coffee beans come from, and
like you shouldn't be doing a podcast about coffee, and
there he is coaching in the NFL, and so it's
just great. Now, if this was a steelcage deathmatch professional wrestling,
steel cage deathmatch, I would bet my money on Robert Sala.

(13:41):
I think you'd be a fool to bet on Liam Cohne.
But this ain't the WWE. It's not last I checked,
although it certainly acts like it a lot. It's the
NFL is what it is. And Liam Cohne just handed
Robert Sala his lunch and it wasn't a good life.
It was a blooney sandwich. It was a blooney sandwich,
all right. Final thought, Ted Enver we go where the

(14:02):
Broncos are feeling good after they had a extra bye week,
the Bengals deciding that they didn't need to compete gutless
Cincinnati football. So I bring that up because the Broncos
now move on for game's got a little bit of
juice to it this weekend. The Eagles are undefeated and
the Philadelphia Eagles have been winning by the skin on
their chinny chin chin, trying to get that done again.

(14:24):
And Sean Payton was asked about the tush push, and
rather than rip the tush push through a little bit
of a curve ball, here's the Broncos coach Sean Payton
commenting on the notorious tush push.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Take a listen.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
I was one that stood up in favor of the
reason I stood up in favor of is pretty simple
if the powers to be don't want it for aesthetic
reasons or competitive reason or it's hard to officiate, et cetera.
But I've been involved in those meetings for a long time,

(14:58):
and when all of a sudden, health and safety pulled
into that which might be the safest playing football, my
bull nose kind of went up. Look at the quarterback sneak.
You know, as long as the line of scrimmage is clean,
it's a well run quarterback sneak.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
So my bull ship, like a ship in the ocean,
nose went up.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
All right.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
So question, you just heard the audio at first glance
or first listen, what did you think of the Broncos
coach Sean Payton supporting the Toush push the way that
he supported the toushbush.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
So this is vintage Sean Payton, is what it?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
A little chippy, little chippy, little petty, and just a
little touch of self serving. But I'm in for I'm
a talk shows, I'm in for it. He's not wrong
by the way that they like. He's totally not wrong
on this. He still sounds like a guy who's trying
to settle some old scores, and I totally get it.
I would be too if I was Sean Payton. He

(16:00):
got the royal screwjob from the NFL. It's really just
like a When I heard Sean Payton give this SoundBite,
it sounded to me like it was a wink wink
middle finger because they're playing the Birds, So let me
give the NFL the birds over there on Park Avenue.
This is the same dude, Sean Payton who once got
banished an entire season of his NFL coaching career. He

(16:23):
was banished to a cornfield for an entire season. Peyton
walks around with the scarlet letter of bounty Gate right
there stamped to his forehead. He's got that scarlet letter
stamp to his forehead, bounty Gate. It's a chicken feathers scandal,
one of the many chicken feathers scandals, not quite as

(16:45):
embarrassing as the Miami Dolphins one where the person just
kind of admitted he was kind of tired of playing football.
And was that Jonathan Martin. I believe it was a
guy's name that was a whole nothing burger too. But
the NFL, they had an abundance of caution. They always
go to the default. We have to punish so so
now whenever the NFL, whenever they sneeze, whenever the NFL sneezes,

(17:07):
Sean Payton's the first guy to whip out the clean
X and scream consperas I consparras a. It's also Sean
Payton who's killing the Eagles with kindness. It's like hating
them in Philadelphia a box of sugar cubes and saying, hey, boys,
want you to drown in this, and I want you
to just enjoy that sugar so much you're drowning sugar.

(17:27):
Then the Broncos and Eagles, which I'm looking forward to watching,
I'll flip that up on my laptop when I'm watching
some other games, and it's it's like, hey, listen, now,
you don't want to poke the birds. You're playing the birds.
You want to give the NFL the bird, and you
want to smother the Eagles in syrup. That's what you
want to do. And they're doing it and it's coach speak.
It's gamesmanship mixed in with a f you to the NFL,

(17:51):
and it's wrapped in compliments and all that stuff. But
I don't buy this sincerity for a second. I don't
think it was it's sincere the more of a shot
at the NFL than anything else.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
And and Sean.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Payton does have a He's got this chip that's like
the size of Pike's Peak and extra salt there, Morton salt, good,
Morton salt. And it's like, hey, good down, remember me,
I still hate your guts. My name is Sean Peyton. Yes,
and I appreciate that. I appreciate that he's still wandering around.

(18:23):
Sean Payton. He's got a suitcase and it's actually when
he travels he has to pay more.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Because it's it's overweight.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
It's filled with grudge and he's got that filled and
he refuses to go through the baggage claim and check
it in and he wants it in the overhead bin.
You can't put that in the overhead bin. It it's overweight,
and well, I want to put it in.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
It's it's my.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Grudge suitcase and that's what I want to do. And
listen a tush push. The Eagles are tremendously annoying, but
it is a legal play. It should be a legal play.
And if you don't like it and you can't stop it,
then you just run it. And then hey, if everyone's
running it, it will then it will de ball the
toushbush and I know it's driving defensive coaches insane, and

(19:06):
it's not the most esthetically pleasing play and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
It is The Ben Mahler Show.

viral this week for doing a blank postgame interview for
the Internet. All right, let's see does anyone know the
answer here? That is the question? Just Josh and Cincinnati
says doing a mile high mountain of coke postgame interview.
Andy and Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says the answer to the
real day. He went vible for twerking during the interview.

(22:03):
That would be impressive. King Rory says, for wearing his
Halloween costume. Who else we have doing a Florida man impersonation? Well,
that is impressive. Alf could find there very impressive, a
classic Florida man looking good. Who else do we have?
Let's see page down mal Or mister irrigation says. He says,

postgame interview.

Speaker 8 (23:38):
He was milking a cow.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Well, that would be impressive if you milk the cow. Unfortunately,
that is not That is not correct. The correct answer
is that JK. Dobbins did a postgame interview conducted in Spanglish,
not Spanish, but not English Spanglish.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
It was great, Willy, Well you like all things Broncos.
I Willy got that right.

have cheated, and I heard some good things. The Charger
media people were like JK.

speak Spanglis.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, And I want you know, I visited your state
of Vermont last year and Arnie gave me the VIP
tour around Burlington, Vermont, which included the Ben and Jerry's building.
The uh there's a place they film a lot of
Hallmark movies in Burlington, and there's Bernie Sanders office. Those

(26:19):
are the three things to see in Burlington, and I
saw all.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Of them in one day. And there's a nice little
lake there.

Speaker 8 (26:25):
I thought they only had coats if.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
You're one hundred years old.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah, those are Oh look, you took a shot.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
You took a shot at Arnie. You took a shot
at Arnie.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Mike. You just took a shot at Arnie. I thought
you liked him.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
You just took a.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Shot at him.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
No, that was also a slight shot at you. I
just I looked you over before before I actually called.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
An Where am I Dad? I'm younger than Arnie? What
are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (26:47):
No, you're younger than Arnie. But you said that you
you were making fun of Sean Payton being not like
a fit or something. I was like, dude, I wouldn't not.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
What do you what are they making?

Speaker 2 (26:56):
I was making fun of Sean Payton because he's got
an axe to grind with the NFL, which I that
was amusing because he got suspended for an entire second.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
Guy, I like your guy that says something about push
ups or so. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
It's like you're hearing fings. You are hearing voices in
your head. Get off the drugs. What's wrong with you?

Speaker 5 (27:13):
Okay, okay, fine, five Fine. That wasn't my question. That
wasn't I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
I didn't mean say off, say off the weed.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
Hey I do, I do, honestly, But that was my question.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Hurry up, I gotta get to the hurry up, get
to the game. I gotta get hurry up.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
Sanders. You were saying, like four weeks ago, you were saying, like,
oh my god, I can't believe that he doesn't uh
that the NFL is trying to like suppress him or
something else. And that's a uh now what now?

Speaker 2 (27:45):
What you're doing here, Mike is you're you're crossing the streams.
You're confusing. I never had that take. You're giving me
credit for a take. I did not have, Mike. That's
a bad job. That's take severy you are. I don't
know whose take. I don't know whether somebody else who
works you probably had that take. That's not my take.
I never had that take. Why would you give me
credit for a take? I did not have Mike.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Because I guess it was the fact that you didn't
like make it so obvious that he was gonna be
starting fucking week four.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
All right, you've cursed now twice. You're an idiot.

Speaker 8 (28:17):
You are no longer allowed.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
You're a child.

Speaker 8 (28:20):

Speaker 2 (28:21):
You can't do a three minute talk radio phone call
with you saying the F word twice.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
You suck.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Your parents should wash your mouth out with soap and
water when you're going up.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
We've endured too many of these, has it.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Too much or not enough enough?

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Already?

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Let's do it. We play the game and hold on.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
I mean moves, move this thing over here, and then
it'll say, oh, Northern Virginia, and that would be Justin
representing all of northern Virginia. Not to be confused with
Southern Virginia. He's not representing southern Virginia, but Virginia is
for lovers. It says it on the license plate. Hello Justin, welcome.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Hello, Hello, thank you.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Look at this ball?

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Hello, thank you ball of energy. This guy justin so
excited to try to stay calm, try to stay levelheaded, Justin.
I understand, I'll pick it up.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
I understand. You're just getting up to start your day.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, I'm my way to work, no way on your way,
and you seem excited about that.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
I'm actually trying to redeem myself from the last time
I played and didn't do so hot.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, so you think this will be better or worse.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
I don't think it can be any worse than last time.

Speaker 8 (29:42):
So you can do it.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
You can't do it. We believe in you.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Okay, all the answers are either too much or not
not enough. Now remember justin, that guy hollering James that
was just on while sleeping won the game. So it
can be done even if you just don't know the answer.
Just pretend you're sleeping, and then you might win the game.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
We'll be okay.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Here we go, justin and get for those that weren't
listening last time you called in, What kind of work.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Do you do?

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Justin?

Speaker 3 (30:07):
I'm in the food distributions.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
That's right, okay, but all kinds of food, right you said,
not just the normal run of the.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Mill like no, yeah, mostly yeah, mostly international foods. Yeah,
there you go, good memory.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
I do remember. All right, Here we go justin question
number one. Alright, the twenty twenty five the year of
twenty twenty five the Yankees. It was a seventh season
leading major League Baseball in runs, walks, and home runs.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
A seventh consecutive season.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
I believe, is the just seventh okay, just seventh?

Speaker 3 (30:40):
All right?

Speaker 2 (30:40):
So Yankee seven season leading major League Baseball runs, walks,
and home runs?

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Is that too much or not enough?

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Let's go too much?

Speaker 2 (30:49):
All right? Let's see here, you're oh for one.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Not enough?

Speaker 2 (30:54):
It was their tenth season leading in baseball in all
three categories. All other franchises have combined for seasons leading
in those three categories. Question number two, Yankees lose to
the Red Sox last night. Question number two, there are
there were twenty different teams to finish the regular season
with seventy five or more wins this MLB regular season?

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Is that too much? Or not enough?

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Not enough?

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Okay, let's see is justin on the board with a
correct answer? That is right? Look at you? Not enough?

Speaker 2 (31:27):
There were twenty four different teams to finish with seventy
five or more wins, tied with the twenty oh six
season for the most in Major League Baseball history.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
A lot of mediocrity.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
No great teams, No, well, there were a couple terrible teams,
but a lot of teams just in the middle. All right,
one in one.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Are you a Nationals fan?

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Yeah I am.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, they suck, but at least they have natitude. You're right, yeah,
that's all they have. Natitude?

Speaker 5 (31:54):
All right?

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Question number three, Josh, who's the new broadcaster? By the way,
do you know who's taking over for Bob car on TV?

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Justin.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
You know I don't.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
I don't either.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
I never I never touched on TV normally.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
You're a radio guy.

Speaker 5 (32:07):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
I am good.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
So my question number three Josh Allen, that's a quarterback
now has fifty games in his career with at least
one passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown? Is that too
much or not enough for the Bills? Quarterback?

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Too much?

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Seas you right? That is correct? Look at you too much?

Speaker 2 (32:30):
He now has forty five career games with one passing
touchdown one rushing touch and that ties Cam Newton for
the most all time in NFL history. So you're doing
very good now. So you've redeemed yourself. Now one more
right answer, you win the game, Justin.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
One more question for Justin is on.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
His way to work to serve a full rainbow of
international foods from all over the world. Question for Ashton
Genty just became the fit rookie in Raiders history to
have three touchdowns in a game for the Raiders?

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Is that too much or not enough?

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Not enough?

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Now? Too much?

Speaker 2 (33:16):
He's the fourth, joining Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, and someone
named Raymond Chester. It's not too late, not too late,
you think Chester's nickname was Question five. Rafael Devers. That's
a baseball player not in the playoffs. Rafael Devers is
the first player in fifteen years to play in one

(33:38):
hundred and sixty three games in one season, as he
was traded from the Red Sox of the Giants. Is
that too much or not enough? This is to win
the game right here? Not enough to win the game.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Let's find out that's all.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
You won the game?

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Justin?

Speaker 1 (33:58):
You won the game? Where justin, you've just won too
much or not enough? Where are you going now?

Speaker 9 (35:57):
That's right, you heard the man. It is Tom for
love here on the Ben Mallor Show. You know, we
all love love and I like to start out the
segment by giving a little piece of advice. And if
you are going to be cheating on your woman at
a festival, make sure you don't know other people there.
You could be recorded and that video could be sent
to your woman.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Oh, so be careful. I feel like this is a
very specific Yes it happened.

Speaker 9 (36:21):
It happened around me and my group of friends this weekend.
So I just want to give everyone a warning. If
you're going to do some scandalous things, make sure you
are in a private area.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Is there really a private area? We live in a
police thing. Yeah, there's everywhere.

Speaker 8 (36:34):
Super eights.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
So there's a hotel down the street.

Speaker 8 (36:38):
Here, the seven seven seven. They have a Continental brand
name it.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
I was gonna rip it, but go ahead.

Speaker 8 (36:46):
Oh yeah, So that was my advice for the day.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Okay, so if you're planning on cheating, make sure that
there's no camera there are Is that a bad place?

Speaker 8 (36:54):
I was gonna stay there?

Speaker 2 (36:56):
I think they charged by the Hour, Shane and Shane
and the Moye writes and says, Hey, if your significant
other uses social media, are you obligated to follow their
page or pages?

Speaker 1 (37:08):
It seems redundant to me.

Speaker 8 (37:11):
I mean yes and no.

Speaker 9 (37:13):
I think it's fun to follow, but if you already
lived together, then yeah, it's not really a necessity. Also,
don't don't be one of those couples I guess the
join pages. That means you don't have any trust. But
also you could be seen as a hater if you're
not following yourself. Like when celebrities break up, they unfollow
each other on social media. So part of following your
lover on there is that you can support, so you
can still like their things, you can comment and be like,

(37:34):
oh my gosh, you're so beautiful today.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Yeah. Oh I just stay off social media altogether, like
you've kind of forced the If you're on there, you
might as well.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
Yeah. JT.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
The Wingman writes in from Knoxville, Tennessee. He says, Hey,
since Halloween is coming up later this month, what is
the best Halloween costume for couples that enjoy the lifestyle?

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Oh? Yeah, I enjoy that lifestyle?

Speaker 8 (37:56):
Which lifestyle is he talking about think he's.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Talking about having a sw on one side and I
don't know.

Speaker 8 (38:01):
Oh, well, you know, I think that'd be really fun.

Speaker 9 (38:03):
I like those plug in couple ideas and if you
get well, if you get a multiple adapter, think about that,
Like if you're into swingers, like swinging and get.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Multiple adapters tekiva and you.

Speaker 9 (38:15):
Could dress as a pineapple and a juicer. Yep, there
you go, baby, let's go.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
All right, Alam to Lou did call and we smoked
out Alami Lou, I love Alam. You still have the
same Kingfish there, Lou still here.

Speaker 10 (38:30):
So I think Lorena has a vibrant fan club on
the show. Dude to call in and kind of hit
on her. As a bartender at King Face, I've built
up my own fan club, and my question for Lorena is, uh,
is it wrong of me to not be interested in
these women but kind of yucking up for tips while

(38:51):
denying every date opportunity to ask me on?

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Well?

Speaker 9 (38:54):
No, I mean you need to be picky with who
you actually let access your circle. And if they want
to tip you more than they will, they also don't
have to tip you at all. They could just be
like I'm gonna flirt with this guy and he'p. He
gives me more.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Not one of these women you found attractive, Not one
of them.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
It has nothing to do with that. I just think.

Speaker 8 (39:13):
I think it would be weird meeting your person.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
You don't want to meet where you where you eat,
or you don't want to poop where you eat.

Speaker 5 (39:18):
Is that.

Speaker 10 (39:19):
I've dabbled in meeting a woman at the bar before,
and whatever happened, she ended up pregnant, and thank god
it wasn't mine.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Oh my, that would be a mess.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
That is wildish.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Yeah, yeah, just you know, work the man and still
milk it. You got to use the charm Lorena, right,
the charm men.

Speaker 8 (39:40):
With what they really want to see.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
There you go, Queen of hearts.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
