Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number two. Our number two is ready for you,
and can you unravel? On the Ben Malor Show, Lions
Wide Receiver, I'm on Ross Saint Brown, and his statement
on the four Am video game habit he was outed
for playing video games at four am the day of
a game over the weekend. Also, Baker Mayfield was asked

(00:22):
to reminisce about the good old days when he was
teammates with Sam Darnold in Carolina. That is blank and
what do you make of Mike Pereira flip flopping on
his opinion of the tush push. We'll go there as well.
Here it is our number two. It is a gamer's

(00:42):
paradise unless it's not welcome. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mahlor Show, we are in the

Speaker 3 (02:01):
The crown is yours.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
As we are settling in to a new hour here,
we have a follow up to a story that we
talked about the other day. I thought this was kind
of fun, so I thought we'd revisit it. It's an
NFL story, loosely an NFL story. It's a pretty good one.
So our lead is from the video game world that
NBA two k to be exact, So the Lions have

(02:27):
a wide receiver. His name is aman Ross Saint Brown.
Don't if you've heard him or night. It's pretty good,
pretty good ball player. So i'man Ross Saint Brown and
he has addressed the internet chatter. There were some internet
investigators that discovered that Saint Brown was playing NBA two
K at four in the morning.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Four of them, Oh, who cares if he plays a four?
And money?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Where the Lions had They had a business engagement that day.
They had a football game. It was kind of a
football game. They're playing the Cleveland Browns. But that was
the game on Sunday four in the morning. I'm on
Ross Saint Brown was playing NBA two K. So he
talked about it. He saw this or I'd have heard
about it. Maybe not. Maybe it's skip past your radar.

(03:11):
So on his Fledgling podcast because everyone loves audio content,
I'm on Ross Saint Brown said, you know, I can't
confirm or deny that I was on two K at
four am. He said, I do love playing two K
though close quote. All right, so let's discuss the question
can you unravel the Lions wide receiver? I'm on Ross

(03:33):
Saint Brown's statement on his four AM video game habit,
where again he said, I you know, I can't confirm
or deny. That was his response. So I've got cloak
and dagger, dinner menu, and straddle, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to

(03:53):
have a wonderful fast. At members of the tribe are
doing I fast all the time. For me, it's just
another day, just another day.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
So number number.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Combat. I love the fact that a'man Rossaint Brown is
treating NBA two K like it's Area fifty one out
in the Nevada Desert, like he's he's giving CIA briefings
on the on the Warren Commission. It's just so good.
Now this quote, the quote of I cannot conform or

(04:28):
deny that particular quote, it's credited as the GLOMER response.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
GLOMER response. It's a CIA response.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Now they didn't come up with it, but they they
popularized that response. Cloak and dagger, black op stuff, all
that stuff. But that's the non answer answer that one
would give. It's one of those you know, don't look
behind the curtain things, you know, don't you don't want
to know what's back there.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
You really don't want to know what's back there. Now,
it's obviously a complete nothing burger.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
This is not Kyler Murray, who's out there playing Call
of Duty until sunrise and then stinking up the joint
on Sunday afternoon. This is a'man Rah and he has compartmentalizing.
You can go out there and drop two K buckets
at four in the morning and then still show up
for the real thing. Seven catches, seventy yards, a couple

(05:20):
of touchdowns against that JV squad from Cleveland. Sam Brown
can be up all night and he might be listening
right away. I can't tell you how many people are
listening overnight while playing games. I've always had a consistent
group of p ones that are up all night with

(05:40):
us and there's no one awake around them. Their friends
are all sleeping even and they're just they're listening to
the talk show.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Well, they're playing games all night. I love it. I'm
there for it.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Man.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
You guys that do that thing. You reach out to
me every once and while I say, hey, I'm one
of those gamer guys, and I'm like, all right, But
that's the whole point, right, You can be all night
playing video games.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
If he's building legos, he can build lego castles, or
if he likes knitting, he can knit a scarf for
all I care. As long as the touchdowns keep flowing
in the Honolulu Blue, who gives a crap?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
I do like the fact that.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
He pretty much confirmed that he did do it. If
the results are there, no one says boot, nobody says.
But the only way this becomes a story is if
he goes out there and drops a key pass or
doesn't put up the stat line that we're used to,
then it's oh, I'm on ross Saint Brown is playing
two K all night. That's why he sucked at a

(06:36):
time you cannot suck until then. This is like using
a magnifying glass to look for ants on the sidewalk.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Completely pointless, completely pointless.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
All right? Now, moving on, we go to Tampa.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
We go to Tampa.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
The Buccaneers head to Seattle this week in one of
the more interesting games on the card this week in
terms of teams record and whatnot. Baker Mayfield dinged up
this week at practice, but in a media get together
on Wednesday, Baker Mayfield was asked about Sam Donald. Baker
Mayfield said that he and the Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam

(07:11):
Donald remained close friends. A reporter asked, do you and
Sam ever reminisce on the good old days in Carolina,
and then Baker responded, reminisce on what days. And then
the reporter followed up by saying the good old days
in Carolina, and the Baker, without missing a beat, said no,

(07:32):
we don't. He said, so that's a.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Decent jumping off point question.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Baker Mayfield asked to reminisce about his good old days
with Sam Donald in Carolina.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
That is blank. All My word is pig pen. That
is the word I wrote down. Pig pen. That is
the word.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
There were no good old days in Carolina.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
It was pig pen.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Literally Arlotte's web a book my parents forced me to
read as a child. Charlotte's Webb comes to life, right,
Wilbur the pig stuck in mud and Charlotte spins lies
to keep him relevant to Baker Mayfield started six games
in Carolina, was one in five. Sam Donald from Late
of the Jets came to Carolina. He was on that
team with Baker Mayfield and he was pulled out of

(08:22):
the reject beIN there and somehow he managed to all
to start six games.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
He went four and two.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
But it's kind of like to ask Baker Mayfield, who
was a failure in Carolina. To ask him about that
situation and like, hey, you have any good memories. It's
like it's like asking two people if they missed the
dinner menu on the Titanic.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Who cares what the meal was?

Speaker 2 (08:48):
When you're hitting the iceberg in about ten minutes, you
don't really care about that. But Sam Donald eventually got rescued.
Now he had to bounce around a little bit more.
But the Scandinavian Vikings goal and four swoops in gives
him a helmet and says you're one of us now.
And he played well in Minnesota. Now the Seahawks gave
him a contract. Baker Mayfield was saved by Bucco Bruce

(09:11):
after he made a pitch stop in La and the
Tampa Life Raft picked him up. And so the Carolina
Panthers era wasn't exactly a career highlight.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
It was an emergency flare.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Both of them had the football equivalent of an airbag
going right into their face.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
And what a quiz asking a.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Guy if he misses It's like, hey, one of our
guys in prison. We have a lot of prison listeners
who regularly are correspondence here it's like asking them when
they get out of prison someday, do you boys miss
the prison food? Well, no, I don't really miss the prison.
Well why don't you You were in prison for a
long time. You should miss the prison. Why I don't
because it wasn't that good, But you should miss it
because come on. Of course Baker's gonna laugh that off.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
He's he's not.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Gonna walk down Memory Lane here, he's flooring it down
forget this ever happened Highway. Now, normally people go down
Memory Lane and they drive very slowly on Memory Lane.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
But when you when.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
You're going down forget this ever happened Highway, it's like
the autobon, right, he just goes fast as you possibly can,
as fast as you possibly can down the autobh You
do all right.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Final point to the rules of the game.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
The rules of the game, and our friend Mike Pereira,
the Fox NFL rules are emeritus. Mike Perera. What a
sweetheart gig. This guy's got good for him. So he
recently said the tush push is borderline impossible to officiate.
You might remember that we talked about it in the
previous episode of the show, and this was highlighted when

(10:46):
the Eagles played the Chiefs, and then again when the
Eagles played the Rams. They were false start penalties and
illegal it's an illegal formation, all of that stuff.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
So now we fast forward zoom zoom, zoom zoom.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Zoom of room. We fast forward a couple of weeks,
and suddenly the guy that was saying, you can't officiate it,
it's impossible to do it properly. It's an illegal formation.
Now he has done a one eighty and now he's
keep it in the game. He said, quote this is
Mike Pereira, big shot said, I don't see a reason

(11:24):
it should be banned, meaning the tushy pushy. So the
question what do you make of Mike Perera again, this
is the Fox NFL rules are emeritus. What do you
make of Mike Perera flip flopping on the opinion of
the tush push right, So this is rather straightforward.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's rather straight forward.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
This is a political straddle, a classic politician. He's basically
caucusing with both parties. He's like, I want to go
to that that party and then go to the other party,
and I'll go to team ban it, and then they'll
like me and then Okay, you're a team bannit, and
then I'll go to team keep it, and then they'll

(12:07):
like me.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
You can't lose that way.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Right now, the minute someone calls him out, Mike Perera
can just point to the sound bite and say, well,
I said the opposite. It's like having a laminated Hall
Pass in your wallet and you're you're just good. You're
good bipartisan whatever. I vote for both parties. Whichever way
the wind blows, I am covered. I am absolutely covered.

(12:32):
It is a fan blowing air back and forth and
all that stuff. Now Pereira is obviously hedging his bets
like he's playing some blackjack in Atlantic City or something
like that. Now that's said, I'm glad he landed where
he did. Now, the only reason I would even consider
banning the toush pushes.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
How annoying the Philadelphia Eagle fan base is these heathens, right,
I'm so damn annoying.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
But from just a pure football one oh one standpoint,
it drives me nuts. And I've ranted about this, and
my position is pretty simple. It's like baseball getting rid
of the shift. There's an easy way to beat the shift.
Now you say, well, a touch push there's not really
an easy way to beat it. And that's a different animal.
But banning the tousch push would be sauce. It would

(13:17):
be weak sauce. And it's one of those things. If
you can't stop it, you don't ban it. I say,
you copy it. Why is this so hard? You don't
whine about it? It's not fair. You don't cry to mommy,
you don't do that. The Eagles figure it out to
their credit, a cheat code if you will, which is allowed.

(13:40):
It's kosher. So what my position has been, nothing is
stopping the Cowboys, the Rams, the Minnesota Vikings, the Kansas
City Chiefs, whoever.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
From running the play.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
You're telling me that the Eagles convert ninety six or
ninety seven percent of the time on the touch push,
and the rest of the NFL is nowhere close to that.
Why can't you be within ten percent? Why can't you
be not eighty five percent conversion rate, not ninety six
but eighty five percent? Like the whole banit because it's
too effective. Argument tell me you're a loser without telling

(14:16):
me you're a loser. Just you know, you're not telling
me directly, but you're telling me you're a loser, and
you can call a penalty by the letter of the
rule book. On every play there are eleven players versus
eleven players, and I will guarant effen to you if
you go by the letter of the rule book. Someone
is violating the rule book. It's a judgment situation. It

(14:39):
is a subjective situation. The referee has to decide how
many penalties.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
They want to call.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oftentimes they will warn players multiple times before they call
a penalty. That's kind of how they do business. It's
selective enforcement, is what it is. The toust push is
this football equivalent of the desk star.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Now I think it should be in the game.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
I am fascinated to think that the whole thing unravels
for Philadelphia because Jalen Hurst is not that good without
the touchbush. Like he's a totally gimmick quarterback and that's
all he's got and it works for him because he's
got it and he's really good at it. But if
you take that out of the arithmetic, it becomes problematic,
like the math equation you cannot solve because Jalen Hurst

(15:24):
doesn't really do anything well other than that, like that
he's elite at the touchbush.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
He's not elite at anything else. There is nothing else
the man does that is elite. That is it, period stop.
So that's it. That's all he's got.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
And but again my position is, you stop crying about it.
You just start copying it and you can run it.
And Mike Pereira, he's obviously double tongued here if you will,
he may be double tongue, but he's accidentally stumbled into
the right answer, right.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
So I'm on team keep the touchbush.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Again.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
My main problem is with the fan base in Philadelphia
who I don't mind them getting slapped around little bit
because they're pretty annoying. So I'm not against that. But
in terms of just the football stuff, I'm fine with it.
I'm okay with it. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

All right, late night drugt to write. Since is looking
forward to the Tampa Bay Seattle game. It will get
the NFL Award for Best Throwback Uniforms in the twenty
twenty five season. Now are they both wearing their throwbacks
in that game. As much as I am known around

(19:14):
Fox Sports Radio is a fashionista. I do love the
Buccaneers that the old logo. Our buddy TJ. Reeves, who
used to do a show before me, I think on
the weekend as well. Back he's a sideline reporter for
the Buccaneers. I see TJ every time they come into
LA and we catch up. And I actually have a

(19:34):
Buccaneer hat that has the pirate logo. The old school.
It's so ugly. I like, do you ever get sad
thinking of the old days what football used to be,
with the old designs and the old uniforms, and how
people really used to hit each other and try to
like on the field. You know, I live in the moment.

(19:54):
I mean it's fine, it was good, you know, it's nice.
I do miss that it was like a mom and
pop thing. And I think back to my childhood and
how hokey the NFL was. Now it's all corporate, said,
it's only the Browns now who are family owned, right,
Uh No, I mean there's still some it's like old
family money. Like there's some people that got in. The
NFL was started by degenerate gamblers and so it's generational.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
It's like a generational situation.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
It's like the Bengals are owned by the Paul Brown
or the Brown family, and it's like the second, third
generation whatever, and so there's a few of them. The
giants have been passed down.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
You should teach a history class.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
This is so fun.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Not really. Nobody wants to hear that. Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody.
A ferg Dog rights and says, if I'm on ross
A Brown stays up all night playing video games, he
might be one of your listeners. Ben, Ben Mallor and
gaming go together like peanut butter and jelly. Ferg Dog says,
I'm currently trying to save the world fighting alongside my guys,
Goofy and Donald Duck. Well, good luck for a dog,

(20:55):
Good luck for dog. Big greg Rob rights and says,
I am in prison right now, Ben, no weight, I
am married. Never mind, that's different, Yes, a little, it's
a little different.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Big grig Rob also says.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Ben, I'm gaming it right now, a little MLB the show.
I'm gaming every night. I'm listening to you. I mean,
along with a beer or a whiskey. He goes on,
maybe a fat joint, but I can't smoke yet due
to my job. He says. There cannot win them all.

(21:31):
I cannot win them all? What else do you have?
Page down? We'll skip over that one. Mark, the full
name guy, still tossing weird messages out, says you failed
to mention Ben that it was the Yankees who won
that series and Billy Martin the hero. Yes, I'm sorry, Mark,
I didn't break down a game from nineteen eighty one.

(21:51):
I apologize Mark that I did not break the game
down from nineteen eighty one. I know that's the content
the overnight consumer wants. All right, come on, uh easy.
He checked in from the three oh five in Miami, Miami, Miami,
so he's out there locked in. All Right's go to
the phones and let's see do we have Eenie Meanie

(22:12):
miney mo. Let's say hello to Van the one legged
Bama Man.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Hello, Van, Welcome, Hello Skinny Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
The Dawyer's doing a little bit better than your Atlanta Braves,
although Van the Braves didn't finally let their manager out
of his misery. So that job is open if you
want to, If you would like to manage your Atlanta Braves, Van,
that job snicker is out.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
So that job is we do it.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
I could definitely do it, no problem. You know how
long he worked with the braves or he still he's
doing it by the forty three years. No, man, that
man's put some time in.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, it is how fast, how fast time goes. I've
been here at this place for I mean, come up
twenty five years in a little bit. That's wild. They
just flies by.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
That's why you should should go tell the suits that
you won't dan pus position.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, I'm sure that should.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Well, I think I think other people are already begging
for that.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
I'm I'm fine, I don't you know whatever night, Well,
the key is the keys and not like you know,
beg for that stuff. So that's they won't give me
and I don't pay me a life. I always say, man,
if somebody wants to pay me a lot of money,
I will accept their money. I will not reject. If
somebody wants to overcame me, I will take their money.
Man of the time. Yes, now she stepped out. She

(23:46):
went to the store. I think she went to wait,
she's walking back right now.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
Hold on second, Sorry, I have to get my sacks Ben.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
I understand. I understand Van van them one leg at
baman Man would like to talk to you.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
I heard you say, is on my last call as
I was hanging up, that you thought it would be
cool to only have one leg. There is not one
thing cool about mestening legs. I could least you a
thousand things. That is, like everything you do is harder.
So don't don't ever wish for that.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
You know, It's funny because even if I like scrape
my knee or twist my ankle, it's just the worst
day of my life. You know, when I think about it,
that could be absolutely So.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Then is it your right leg or your left leg?

Speaker 1 (24:32):
It's my right leg your right leg.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
You're right and you're right handed. I assume is.

Speaker 7 (24:39):
That I'm left handed, so you're left handed.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Okay, all right, I guess I'm all scrried up.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
The bare left.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Foot would have been dominant anyways.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
I bet I bat right handed, played golf right handed,
but I'm left handed on every everything else.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
I think amberdexterous is that the term ofxtrous just screwed up,
just screwed up.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
I'm going to tell you his story about I almost
had to throw hands on a hood rat girl. It's
from the local grocery store.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
It was crazy. Well, I love a good hood rat story.
That sounds like a great story.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
All right, have a good day, all.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Right, thank you man. We have to wake up the
kids for that one. Boy. Kids love a good hood
rat story. I can't get enough of that my gut.
All right. Uh, for folks, you know, Van is the
guy that had his leg bitten off by a gator.
It's one of the great stories in the history of
the show. And it was in a swamp, you know,
because you're in the South, you're in a swamp. Legs
get bitten off. And then he and well, I guess

(25:43):
it wasn't I don't know it was nessly him, but
the one of his relatives killed the gator that bit
his leg off, and then they ate the gator. Now
I believe that the leg was like spit out or
whatever was hanging on by a thread. But he had
to have a leg cut off, and they eat the gator.
So that's the circle of life right there. You bite
my leg, I'm gonna eat you for dinner. Then does

(26:04):
he technically eat his own leg because he ate the
gator that ate his leg. Well, only the leg was
digested by the gator because they killed it right away.
So I don't think it was a situation where they
am because that would be cannibalism indirectly indirectalism A taste delicious.
You have to check the rule book on that. Can

(26:24):
we check the rule book and then we don't have
to go to a booth review. I love to go
to a booth review to see to see how that's
that's gonna work out.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Uh, yeah, that'll.

Speaker 2 (26:34):

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah, well, you know you have a fatal illness. We

Speaker 7 (29:07):
So well, you're you're like your threat powers a parallel
any woman. That's kind of child you're.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Saying, I'm like a woman. It's like I gave birth.
Is that what you're saying that you're like you're like
a childless? Yeah, well that's all the rage these days,
I guess. So I don't know. I'm cool. I'm cool
like that, you know, why not you?

Speaker 7 (29:33):
I mean, you should put on combat boots and wear
a dress.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
Well, we have listeners that do that.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
If you want, they can call up and they do that.
But you seem like quite the character. Why have you
not called me? You need to. You need to call
more when you're up, way up, but late at night,
you got to call me here, Zach.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
I'm telling you, this is the first time, not the
last time. I've never called the radio show before. I'm
I'm surprised I'm doing this. Well, I'm freaking out right now,
to be.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Honest, Really, why you freaking out? I know? Well, your
your voice is booming all over the place, and not
just the country, by the way, we are on all
over the we have people listening to New Zealand and Australia.
It's kind of crazy, very big. We have a big
audience in Perth, Australia, Zach. I don't know why, but

(30:18):

It's an evening show though in Perth. So I gotta go,
Thank you, Zach. He's upset the calls ending. What do

vending machine. The vending machine is good and the cockroaches
are pretty big, Zach. Oh my gosh, yeah they are.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
Actually, if we're talking about the vending machine, I would

cold sandwiches or uh, you know, little stuff that you
can heat up in the microwave, like I don't know.
You pay me five ramen bulls, you bring the time.

Speaker 2 (31:16):

guy we all know about the big radio blow ups,

(32:21):

called Last Call Out of Cleveland. He worked in Fox Sports,
and I guess everyone would call in and trolls him
about his gui. The funniest stuff on radio though, But
my brother says, call him that has to know who
this guy is. I have a sorry about Chuck com
Letty's And it's funny because I've.

Speaker 2 (32:43):

but I've heard the name.

all about He had like four DUIs. Someumbe called it

Speaker 2 (33:04):
I never Well, well, the joke is he couldn't he
couldn't be a lawyer because he can't pass the bar.
He has to stop at the bar so he can't
pass it, so he's not able to be a lawyer
and all that. But the troll thank you lame jokes
are actually on Friday, but it might be the trolling stuff.
When I was a kid, I'm going to name the person,

(33:26):
but there was a guy that did a It was
kind of like a political talk show and it was
the funniest thing. When I was in junior high school,
all us kids would run home because he had this
like one hour talk show during it was a TV
talk show, and he'd take calls and It was just
junior high school kids busting his balls, and he got
so upset every time, and it was we would like

(33:46):
talk about it all day at school. We're going to
call this guy up and bust his balls. And then
we did, and it was the funniest thing because he
lose his mind and it was just a bunch of
dopey kids that didn't care about any politics or anything.
They just want to call up and goof on the guy.

Speaker 7 (34:00):
Yeah, man, that's how you know like we we are

have to pay him extra? They're already paying him. Are
they just gonna say, hey, we're already paying you. You
want to manage the Angels. Probably that's what radio people

(35:19):
would do. Hey, we're already paying you. You're on the payroll.
We're not gonna pay any extra. We'll let you travel
around the country and manage the team.

and here's the insta trivia. Blank is ranked last among
all wide receivers in the nerd Stat Open Score Open Score. Okay,
whatever that is sounds like an important stat very important. Nicee.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Does anyone know the answer?

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Page down? Bobby and Florida says that loser Bill Miller
is the answer. Lorraine Brocco, who's seventy one today? From
Late Night Drug Tister, Romeo Dobbs from Eke and Roseville, Minnesota,
Greg Hardy from former Dallas Cowboy guests by shaneon the
Moinestone Hands, Featherstone from Slunk Yosemite Sam from JT the Wingman.

(37:28):
Who else do we have? Tommy Kramer Viking legend who
was at the Maler meet and greet.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
That's from Rob in Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Who else? As you mentioned JT the Wingman with Yosemite Sam?
Who else do we have? Fakes An Glizzie from Robbie
the Mariner fan the Galloping Ghost, Red Grange from Manuel
and Guardina. What say you, Lorraine? It's not Robbie Anderson
guests by Chipping the Ques or Ray Caruth from Big Grig.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Rob Gotta be my guy, T T. Tim Tebow.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Uh No, it's Amika Ibuka from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
Here we go, It's Mallard.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
How about that?

Speaker 4 (38:05):
To the third degree. This is one thing that gets
grilled with.

Speaker 6 (38:12):
It being reported that Lamar Jackson will miss two to
three games. Does that pretty much just slam the door
on the ravens chances to make the playoffs this season?

Speaker 3 (38:20):
Well?

Speaker 2 (38:20):
No. The thing that's the problem with the Ravens is
their defense blows. If they're gonna play defense like that,
they're not making the playffs. But if you look at
the schedule upcoming, They've got the Texans, that's a winnable
game this week, and they lose to the Rams, they'll
win the bye week, they play the Bears and Dolphins.
After that they could still win. They can go two
and two, which is not great, but that'll keep them

(38:42):
in the race. It's not over yet, but they got
to fix that defense next.

Speaker 6 (38:45):
Rumors have been swilling that the Giants could trade for
a big name receiver amid elite Neighbors season ending injury. However,
Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald said that they shouldn't do
it because they need to be realistic about their chances
this season, and how whoever they trade for it may
not fit in well with Neighbors when he returns.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Bene right, Yeah, yeah, I mean everyone's all horny because
the Giants won a game, and oh, the Giants have
arrived and all that, But when you dig into it,
it's not like they were dominant on offense against the
Chargers in that game. Let's wait and see what you
have with Jackson Dart and all that. And they had
two hundred and fifty yards of offense. That was not
a very exciting dominant win. I'd hold off next.

Speaker 6 (39:23):
Panthers coach Dave Canalis isn't bening Bryce Young this week,
but many analysts think it needs to happen soon. But
how many more games do you think they give Bryce Young?

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Well, the problem is if they get rid of Bryce
Young Dave Canalis, you move him up the doomsday clock
for Dave Canalis. And then if you look at the
depth chart, it's not like they have a great backup
quarterback there to go to. So I'll give him another
three games minimum.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
How do we do you pass? That is a quarter
on the board, Andy Daltons to back up

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.
