Fly, Egles Fly. It's our number three. Our number three
is ready to go here in the podcast world on
this Thursday, the second day of October. And here in
our number three, we follow up the follow up to
the follow up Eagles.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Wide receiver A. J.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Brown apologizing publicly apologizing for his social media post where
he quoted the Bible about being unhappy in Philadelphia. He
also downplayed the social media post. Does that all work
for you? A frame by frame breakdown? And how do
you read Brown's third string quarterback Shuder Sanders doing a
(00:38):
mime news conference mime during the newscomers. We'll break that down. Also,
do you believe that Zavian Howard is leaving the Colts
because of his family or because he sucks? He said
he's leaving the NFL after only four weeks of the season.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
It is our number three Angry Birds. The update the
(01:02):
app is updating. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air
everywhere under the sheets as we are, just a shark biscuit.

We can circle back to that if you want. At
some point here the Doyers have advanced. They beat the
lightweights there, the Reds. So the Dodgers are on too,
Philadelphia for a pretty decent matchup there in the divisional
(02:54):
round of the baseball plus but everything else if you
love winner and take all games, the cliche the greatest words,
the greatest two words in sports. Game seven, Well, how
about game three? That's not bad in baseball today. But
this hour we're going to start out in Philadelphia, but
not about the Phillies. We have a follow up to
(03:14):
the follow up to the follow up to the follow
up the undefeated Rainy champions of the National Football League,
the Fournoh Philadelphia Eagles Fly. Eagles Fly, They're flying into
a wall right now. Despite their record, they are dealing
with some internal issues at this point. We talked about
(03:35):
it in recent episodes of the show. It's possible you
are not listening. The audience occasionally does turnover.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
They do turnover, so maybe you missed it now.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Eagles wide receiver wide receiver AJ Brown took responsibility for
letting his frustrations boil over in that viral post on
social media where he quoted the.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Bible and have a little taste. Here's what some of
what A. J.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Brown had to say regarding that viral post as he
did the walk of shame in the Eagles locker room.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Take a list.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I want to start out by saying, obviously, Sunday after
the games, I did my frustrations boil over. I didn't
speak to the media. I had a chance to correct
my my frustrations, and I continue to let it boil over.
That's on me. You know, I'll take full the calendulity
on that posting that if my message on Twitter wasn't
(04:30):
directing anyone in the building, my coaches, on my quarterback
GM and nobody, you know, pro guessing I take full
the accountability.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So that was a little taste of what he had
to say. And yeah, it's uh, not bad, not bad.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
We'll get into it. Why not attempted to take responsibility?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
As you say, as you heard there, so question Eagles
wide receiver AJ Brown apologizing for these social media post
while also he went on to downplay the significance of
said post.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
So does that all work for you?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
My views on this, I've got game of thrones, invisible ropes,
and sombrero and we will combine all of these things
together to make some baba ganoosh.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
We're gonna make the baba go nooshe.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Now, first of all, this cryptic sub tweet thing was
straight out of the Disgruntled Employee Handbook. If you're not welcomed,
not listened to quietly withdraw sounds more like an HR
issue than anything else passive aggressive HR material from AJ Brown.
(05:44):
And that's the guy, I'll tell you J Brown is
that's the guy in the office who leaves the resignation
letter half typed and and shares you know, in the
shared printer.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You know they got the shared printer.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Actually, there was a guy, famous story who back in
the old days, he used to be these things called
fax machines, and.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It was doing local radio.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And there was a guy that was making a lot
more money than everyone else, and he was he didn't
know how to use technology. And this guy he was
sending his contract to his aging via fax, right and
then if you know what a fax machine is, just
google it. The problem was he didn't know how fax
machines worked, and so he left the original copy in
(06:29):
the fax machine and everyone else the radio station realized
how much more money he was making to do the
same job everyone.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Else was doing.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Needless to say, that created a little bit of a
hullabaloo at the radio station.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
But it's it's kind of like that, right, you're disgruntled.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You're like, I'm gonna leave my resignation letter half type
there in the printer and you know somebody will notice it.
And you know, one one line stood out though, and
we played a little snippet of it. But he said
at some point in this diatribe, he said, this is
my homeman. AJ Brown said, I love it here. But yeah,
(07:05):
and as John Snow from the Game of Throne said,
everything before the word but is horse bleep?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It's gaslighting, is what this is. AJ Brown ripped the brass.
He said, they don't listen to him. The organization doesn't
listen to him. And then in the same breath, AJ Brown,
the wide receiver, tried to walk it back. He tried
to put the toothpaste back in the tube. It's the
NFL's version of I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed. I'm
(07:33):
not mad, I'm just disappointed place the Eagles had him.
And what I heard, and we played a little snip
of it was a hostage note. In fact, at the
very beginning. Can we play that again, because if you
listen at the very beginning, he paused because he was
trying to remember what to say, and the first thing
(07:53):
he said was um, because he couldn't remember exactly the verbiage.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Let's just play the beginning of that. This is that again,
AJ Brown. Listen to the beginning.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So he makes the statement and he's trying to remember
what exactly these idiots wanted him to say.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
So he's like, I.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Want to start out about saying obviously obviously all right.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You can almost see Howie Roseman standing off camera trying
to make sure the teleprompter was working for AJ Brown.
But it's the cycle, right, This is the cycle of
AJ Brown. It's the diva wide receiver. He's an afterthought
and it is rather criminal considering how talented a ballplayer
he is. And he'll blow up on social media. He
shows up all pissed off and then does a quick
(08:40):
apology and then you wait three weeks and we do
it all over again. And you put your right foot in,
you put your left foot in, you know, shake it
all and make no mistake, AJ is a top five
talent receiver in the NFL. Does anyone disagree? I don't
see anyone raising their hands. I don't top five talent
in the NFL. But the way the Eagles handle him,
(09:03):
it's it's like he's he's just there to shuffle papers
and refill the toner and the printer. AJ Brown doesn't,
obviously don't feel valued, despite the fact that they won
the Super Bowl and all that stuff, and he's making
a lot of money and they're four and oh, and
he's like he's not being heard by the powers that be.
And when that happens, right, when that happens, whether you're
(09:27):
an NFL player, you got a regular job, I don't
care if you're in Corporate America or the NFL. When
the employee is not listened to by the bosses, you
get cryptic messages, you get staged apologies, and eventually someone
will quit. Whether it's the Eagles doing the unbelievable, unimaginable
and trading AJ Brown or AJ Brown just packing it
in and then forcing the Eagles to get rid of him.
(09:49):
The Eagles better hope he doesn't decide to quietly withdraw
for real AJ Brown, and right now he's got a
quarterback that can't get him the ball. Lee an offense
not designed to be a throwing team. They're a throwback.
The only thing they do well on Philadelphia offensively is
the toush push.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And so AJ Brown, as a result, has been downgraded
to blocking tight.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
End an occasional to throw.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Them a bone and throw them the football, and that's
it all right now. Secondly, we go to Cleveland where
the Browns traveling party heading to London, and the third
string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, Shoulder Sanders. He did
a news conference in Now this is crazy if you
(10:37):
didn't see this in mime, h yeah, all because it
turns out all because former NFL coach turned TV pundit
Rex Ryan Sexy Rexy really liked those feet. Rex Ryan
said he he meeting Sanders had run his mouth too much,
and so Rex Ryan went on a rant and Should
Sanders obviously saw the ant. So the question is how
(10:59):
do you read Brown's third string quarterback, Should Sanders doing
a mime news conference? So this was a PA situation
performance art, It's what this was honoring the classics. Charlie Chaplin,
Marcel Marceau, the silent film stars of early Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Spoiler alert shoulder.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
He absolutely, much like his pass has missed the bullseye
in this one. The second you do a news conference
without words, without words, you've actually proven Rex Ryan a blowhard,
is right that he's living rent free. In your head,
you've basically sent Rex Ryan a love note, an engraved invitation. Hey, Rex,
(11:50):
keep hammering me. Keep hammering me, Rex. It's called rabbit ears.
Rabbit ears, that's what he has. Should hear everything, you
see everything. You're omnipresent. You can't block it out now.
I have a friend of mine who works in the
NFL media who told me a famous story that he
(12:11):
kind of baited Schagdar Sanders on social media just to
see if Shadeur Sanders would respond, and he did. He's like,
this is one of those guys. He must be so bored.
Like I know, there's not a lot going on in Cleveland.
Maybe we should hook him up with strip club John
over there in Cleveland because they can go over there.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I believe Per Capita has the eighth most ballets in
all of the United States. But that aside, it's pretty
obvious that Schoudar doesn't have much of a social life,
and he's just on his phone all the time like
so many of us are, and he's just watching all
of this content. And he saw the Rex Ryan thing,
got a little bit of juice online, and so he
(12:47):
just went for it right, and he's got the rabbit ears.
And you hear everything, you see everything. If Rex Ryan
is criticizing.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You, if that makes you start.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Pulling invisible ropes like Marcel Marceau and you're doing the
invisible rope thing, you're toast right, Cha dirt thinks that
he's sending a message like, hey, I don't need words.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
You know, I don't need words.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
But really the message is I am so delicate, I
am a delicate little flower.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I am fragile. I am fragile. That's the message.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And now the whole league knows it if they didn't
already know it. It's like putting a neon sign, like
you're in Vegas or Times Square put a neon sign,
but you put it on your helmet and you say, hey,
you can get under my skin.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Here's how you get under my skin. He's in the
invisible cube.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Every every mind does only this box is the depth
chart and the shame of shams. You knew Joe Flacca
was not going to make it through the year. He's
been benched, and Dylan Gabriel Dylan ef and Gabriel has
leapfrogged up to the number one quarterback position. There he's
(14:01):
in the presidential suite. And Shadhar Sanders is he is
doing Marcel Marceau impersonations.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
All right now, final thought to Indy we go the
Hoosier State where veteran defensive back Zavon Howard, at age
thirty two, has informed the Horseshoes that he is no
longer going to be a Horseshoe. You see, Zamon Howard
has decided to retire. Bye bye, just days after he
(14:31):
was absolutely mortified a horrific performance against the laa i
Ams now Ada. Prepared statement posted on social media, Zamon
Howard wrote, quote, he said that my dream has now
changed and he is quote no longer willing to put
football before his family.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yes, all about the family.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So the question do you believe that Zavon Howard, defen
back is leaving the Colts to retirement because of his family?
With a capital F? All right, so this is a
sm situation.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Spare me. This is what this is like.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That is the escape, the escape hatch. That is the
escape hatch that every athlete, executive, and coach and sports use.
It's always at their disposal. You're never allowed to criticize it, right,
You're never allowed to criticize it. But it's what you
use when you don't want to admit what we all
saw with our own eyeballs. Right that Xavion Howard, he's
(15:38):
playing the kid card from the bottom of the deck, right,
And let's call it what it is, self preservation, self preservation.
This isn't about family dinners, taking the kids to soccer games.
It's not about that Zavion had a good gig. And
you know, you don't need to talk about this as
the NFL broadcasters love to talk about how much of
(15:59):
these people working all that the most NFL players have
a very short workday, get in early, you work out,
you have meetings, you have practice, you have more meetings,
you have some lunch, you go home right and you
get four or five months off where you just have
to stay in shape and you have to work out,
which is a.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Couple hours a day.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
He wasn't punching a clock at Fannie May, okay, but
the noise, the criticism obviously affected him. He's not one
of these guys locked in highlight reels of Puka Nakua embarrassing,
pantsing Zamon Howard for the world to see and showing
everyone this guy's cooked, right, And you can't go from
(16:38):
all Pro Island where he was Zamon Howard with the
Dolphins and now he's been giving guided tours to Burnt
Toast Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
There's an intersection.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It's all Pro Island and it intersects with Burnt Toast Boulevard,
and you don't want to go down Burnt Toast Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You'd like to stay on all Pro Island.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
But a lot of people make that turn and then
they don't go back to all Pro Island because they're
stuck on Burnt Toast Boulevard and there's no off ramps.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Once you get to Burnt Toast Boulevard, there's no off rams, right,
And so it was like, I gotta.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Keep my pride intact. And Howard like he knew it,
like he knew it, he twice.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Led the NFL. This guy twice led the NFL. Interceptions.
I think poo Coul put up one hundred and seventy
yards most of that against him.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
So this is the guy, Davin Howard. There's some baggage.
There's some stories out there. The guy was with the
Miami Dolphins for a while and now he's quitting on
the Colts mid season, and so he's like, I'm gott embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Pooka nakool owns me.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So I'm gonna slap a sombrero on my head and
I'm gonna book a vacation to can Kun And that's it.
Speaker 4 (17:37):

Monkey Biz Doug from South Korea says that poking A
Coua watches the Dumb and Dummer is the answer.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Do you have an answer?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
The ray?
Speaker 7 (23:00):
I know yes. I think he watches Michael Jackson music
videos before.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
The game, which one particularly.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
I think all of them. I think he kind of
just puts on a playlist and gets gets his you know,
it gets going.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Unfortunately, as think correct turns out that, according to Matthew Stafford,
Rams wide receiver Pulcua Stafford disclosed before each game he
watches highlights of Lebron James highlights of Lebron.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
That which highlights I know, right.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Say, if I want to if I want to laugh,
I watched the highlight of Lebron grabbing his purse and
walking out of the news conference when the.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Calves are playing the Warriors and the finals.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I still laugh at that every single I laugh at
the video when Lebron had he used to carry these
books around in the playoffs because.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
He wanted to seem like he was all smart and
all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
So he'd carry a book and then every once in
a while it was a reporter, usually from some foreign
country somewhere, that would ask Lebron about the book, and
Lebron would stumble and bumble because he hadn't actually read
the book.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
He just carried it around a prop.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
It was like carrot top and it was I still
laugh at those those videos.
Speaker 2 (24:06):

Speaker 8 (25:34):
You know, it's one of those in between things where
it's like a mom and pop that owns seven restaurants,
so they're not really corporate, but they a little close.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Now is your plan to eventually like start your own
thing and do your own restaurant deal and and go.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
Off and learn from Ben mallor you don't do those
kinds of things because it's so much easier when other
people are writing the checks.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yes, that is accurate.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
That is accurate if you can, but you have to
find someone to cut the check for you. And then
you're you're also now have you? I know you're over
in Springfield, But if you made the pilgrimage Caleb to
Kansas City the Liberty, Missouri and had the ben malor
chicken fingers in Liberty, have you made that trip?
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Then you know I have?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Okay, good?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
All right?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Was just making sure I'm just making that's right?
Speaker 11 (26:19):
No, you all?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I understand? And are you now when is the do
we have a date for the wedding? Two third? All right,
be there.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
That's gonna be the social event of the year in
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
That's awesome. Well, congratulations, I'm happy for you, kid. That's great.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
That's wonderful, Tye.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I'm gonna go know on that for one thousand.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
But uh, they do play Carolina, so they should be
able to beat Carolina, uh this week.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
All right? Thanks, thanks keV, thanks for listening. I appreciate that.
And this is gonna blow your mind, Caleb.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It's gonna absolutely blow your mind because before you were alive.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I'm assuming I don't know how old you are. Maybe
you were alive. You're a kid.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
But when I started here, one of the first shows
that I did at Fox Sports Radio, I did a
weekend show with Jason Smith before he ran off to
the Four letter We did a show together on the
on the weekends, and I did a show with him
one night, and then I had I did it.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
There were some other people I work with.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I did my own show for a while, so it
just bouncing around Fox Sports RADI let's go to Sleepless
in Seattle. Jack, Hello, Jack, Welcome, he thank you.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
Ben Maller. You know we've we've talked before, but I've
straightened my act out. You know, now that we've got
cal Rawley, the big dumper. He got to sixty, which
we talked about he probably wouldn't. But now I'm like
sitting around in Seattle watching all these other teams, like
what's like itch and you know, kind of itching and
(27:52):
scratch and where's the baseball at? But we gotta wait
either Detroit or the Guardian Cleveland come in town next weekend.
And it's kind of a weird position to be in.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Well, it's a great position to be in because if
you want, I'm assuming you want the Guardians to win
because they're the weaker team, right, you want to play
the Guardians and then the Mariners kind of have a
fast pass into the league championship series, so that would
be cool. And then you know what's going to happen
is when we get right before we start playing, it'll
be the.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Rust versus Rest. The Mariners are going to struggle because
they had some time off.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
They didn't play for a week, and they're going to
complain about if they lose, they'll complain about that.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
That's what I'm really worried about because we've gone what
twenty three and two or some ungodly records.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
But the good news Jack, as you know, Jack, as
you know, one of my positions has been there is
no such thing as momentum, so you don't have to
worry about this.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
No momentum.
Speaker 10 (28:49):
So just momentum is as good as tomorrow's starting pitcher
in baseball.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I've heard that somewhere along the way. I've heard that.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah, it's also you have good momentum when you score
ten runs, you have really good moment when cal raw
If cal Rawly hits three home runs, you have good momentum.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
Man. But for him to get to sixty, it was
such just that was such. I was up at the
the game when he had fifty eight. Right the game,
we fifty eight.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
And that, yeah, well it is.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
It is good Jack, because I heard for the last
how many years, like nobody can hit that many home runs.
That ballpark's too big, you know, it's not like the
King Dome back in the day.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
It's a big ballpark.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
And I guess if you're good enough, it doesn't matter,
you'll hit home runs. So there is that, all right,
thank you, Jack. He can't sleep, he's so worried about
the Mariners. Let's go down to Chicago and we say
hello to the Tree, our buddy, the Tree, who's right there,
the number one Chicago Cub fan. We'll find out how
(29:57):
concerned is Tree because later today the Cubs and Padres.

I've met him, very nice man. Lives in Roseville, Minnesota.
He was at the mal of Meet and greet.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Great guy.
Speaker 11 (34:40):
Would like to know do you refrigerate hot sauce?
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
So pretty much what happens at the at the house
is once anything is open, it immediately goes into refrigerator.
Like everything goes into frigerat the only thing that doesn't
is there is actually some tabasco sauce. But like most
hot sauce, the other hot sauce goes in there, but
the for some reason that Tabasco does not.
Speaker 7 (35:02):
What about you, Lorena, Yeah, I used to work at
a restaurant, so tabasco always stays on the counter or
on the table, and if it gets a weird brown color,
I throw it out. Tapatillo, though, does stay in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
For me, Tapatia white tapatilla. What's the difference between tapatio.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
And the other.
Speaker 7 (35:17):
It's just thicker. I feel like it needs to be refrigerated.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Okay, I got you cool.
Speaker 11 (35:25):
Nope, none of them, None of them, Lula s racha,
they're on the cabinet.

The wingman.
Speaker 12 (35:42):
He wants to know, Uh, did you have to make
book covers out of paper bags back in the day.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yes, I'm old and we did have to do that.
And remember that back probably in elementary school. I think
that was my older brother.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I was helping him. We were fussing around with that.
But yes, Lorraina, you're younger, probably not right.
Speaker 7 (36:04):
Yeah, we didn't have to. That was more of like
the artsy kids would wrap their books.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
In paper, very artsy to wrap it.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
And then they would color on the outside and make
them like cool.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah, oh okay, I didn't really color on it. But
what about you cool? Now?
Speaker 12 (36:17):

than beer.
Speaker 2 (36:51):

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Don't drink that much, but when i'll drink at the
parties my wife forces.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Me to attend, I will have like this root beer out.
It's like filled with a high alcohol content, but it
tastes like.
Speaker 7 (37:05):
Root beer about your father's root beer.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Yeah, it's pretty good. So what about you, lorrain It.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
Depends on what I'm eating. But lately I've usually been

The King Rory would like to know, does king a king?
Does your home have a ceiling fan? A ceiling fan?
And how often do you use it?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yes, there are ceiling fans in several rooms at the
Malor Mansion, and it depends on the season. But yeah,
usually it's a fair amount of work. I'm a big
fan guy. I love fans.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I like having air.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I like having the white noise in the background when
I'm sleeping, So I usually have fans on. But yeah,
a fair amount, fair amount, even sometimes in the winter,
because I just want to have noise.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I don't want to have quite What about you, Lorraine, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (38:14):

Speaker 2 (38:17):
I'midding you like the great outdoor.
Speaker 7 (38:19):
I live in a box. No, we don't have We
don't have ceiling fans. I don't like how dusty they
get either. If you don't dust it often, then it's
just spreading dust around your house.

You can clean them. It's amazing. They have these things
called the good But do you know? Fuck are you

Ferg Dog would like to know, Hi, Fergie, would you
rather have?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
We got your question on the air.
Speaker 11 (39:22):
Would you rather have the ability to see the future
or the past. Mmmm, that's hard.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah, I mean, I mean, we know a lot about
the past, but we don't know everything about the best.
But yeah, I guess I would say the future, mixus,
we'll be we're here a short time, then we're gone,
and I kind of wonder what it's gonna be like two.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Hundred years from now or three hundred years from now
will be long gone. So yeah, I guess the future.
Speaker 12 (39:48):
What about you, Lorena, I reminisce about the past a lot,
So I'm gonna go with the past.
Speaker 7 (39:53):
Okay, I'll see the future when I get there.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (39:56):
Cool, I'm gonna go with the past. Two because you
could go and look at cool moments in the past.
I could go, I could exonerate OJ.
Speaker 7 (40:05):
I could watch the moon landing in person.
Speaker 11 (40:08):
Yeah, it's all that.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
But if they didn't actually it didn't happen, though some people,
What if the.
Speaker 11 (40:12):

the follow up Eagles.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Wide receiver A. J.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Brown apologizing publicly apologizing for his social media post where
he quoted the Bible about being unhappy in Philadelphia. He
also downplayed the social media post. Does that all work
for you? A frame by frame breakdown? And how do
you read Brown's third string quarterback Shuder Sanders doing a
(00:38):
mime news conference mime during the newscomers. We'll break that down. Also,
do you believe that Zavian Howard is leaving the Colts
because of his family or because he sucks? He said
he's leaving the NFL after only four weeks of the season.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
It is our number three Angry Birds. The update the
(01:02):
app is updating. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air
everywhere under the sheets as we are, just a shark biscuit.

We can circle back to that if you want. At
some point here the Doyers have advanced. They beat the
lightweights there, the Reds. So the Dodgers are on too,
Philadelphia for a pretty decent matchup there in the divisional
(02:54):
round of the baseball plus but everything else if you
love winner and take all games, the cliche the greatest words,
the greatest two words in sports. Game seven, Well, how
about game three? That's not bad in baseball today. But
this hour we're going to start out in Philadelphia, but
not about the Phillies. We have a follow up to
(03:14):
the follow up to the follow up to the follow
up the undefeated Rainy champions of the National Football League,
the Fournoh Philadelphia Eagles Fly. Eagles Fly, They're flying into
a wall right now. Despite their record, they are dealing
with some internal issues at this point. We talked about
(03:35):
it in recent episodes of the show. It's possible you
are not listening. The audience occasionally does turnover.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
They do turnover, so maybe you missed it now.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Eagles wide receiver wide receiver AJ Brown took responsibility for
letting his frustrations boil over in that viral post on
social media where he quoted the.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Bible and have a little taste. Here's what some of
what A. J.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Brown had to say regarding that viral post as he
did the walk of shame in the Eagles locker room.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Take a list.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I want to start out by saying, obviously, Sunday after
the games, I did my frustrations boil over. I didn't
speak to the media. I had a chance to correct
my my frustrations, and I continue to let it boil over.
That's on me. You know, I'll take full the calendulity
on that posting that if my message on Twitter wasn't
(04:30):
directing anyone in the building, my coaches, on my quarterback
GM and nobody, you know, pro guessing I take full
the accountability.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So that was a little taste of what he had
to say. And yeah, it's uh, not bad, not bad.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
We'll get into it. Why not attempted to take responsibility?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
As you say, as you heard there, so question Eagles
wide receiver AJ Brown apologizing for these social media post
while also he went on to downplay the significance of
said post.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
So does that all work for you?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
My views on this, I've got game of thrones, invisible ropes,
and sombrero and we will combine all of these things
together to make some baba ganoosh.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
We're gonna make the baba go nooshe.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Now, first of all, this cryptic sub tweet thing was
straight out of the Disgruntled Employee Handbook. If you're not welcomed,
not listened to quietly withdraw sounds more like an HR
issue than anything else passive aggressive HR material from AJ Brown.
(05:44):
And that's the guy, I'll tell you J Brown is
that's the guy in the office who leaves the resignation
letter half typed and and shares you know, in the
shared printer.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You know they got the shared printer.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Actually, there was a guy, famous story who back in
the old days, he used to be these things called
fax machines, and.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It was doing local radio.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And there was a guy that was making a lot
more money than everyone else, and he was he didn't
know how to use technology. And this guy he was
sending his contract to his aging via fax, right and
then if you know what a fax machine is, just
google it. The problem was he didn't know how fax
machines worked, and so he left the original copy in
(06:29):
the fax machine and everyone else the radio station realized
how much more money he was making to do the
same job everyone.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Else was doing.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Needless to say, that created a little bit of a
hullabaloo at the radio station.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
But it's it's kind of like that, right, you're disgruntled.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You're like, I'm gonna leave my resignation letter half type
there in the printer and you know somebody will notice it.
And you know, one one line stood out though, and
we played a little snippet of it. But he said
at some point in this diatribe, he said, this is
my homeman. AJ Brown said, I love it here. But yeah,
(07:05):
and as John Snow from the Game of Throne said,
everything before the word but is horse bleep?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It's gaslighting, is what this is. AJ Brown ripped the brass.
He said, they don't listen to him. The organization doesn't
listen to him. And then in the same breath, AJ Brown,
the wide receiver, tried to walk it back. He tried
to put the toothpaste back in the tube. It's the
NFL's version of I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed. I'm
(07:33):
not mad, I'm just disappointed place the Eagles had him.
And what I heard, and we played a little snip
of it was a hostage note. In fact, at the
very beginning. Can we play that again, because if you
listen at the very beginning, he paused because he was
trying to remember what to say, and the first thing
(07:53):
he said was um, because he couldn't remember exactly the verbiage.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Let's just play the beginning of that. This is that again,
AJ Brown. Listen to the beginning.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So he makes the statement and he's trying to remember
what exactly these idiots wanted him to say.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
So he's like, I.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Want to start out about saying obviously obviously all right.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You can almost see Howie Roseman standing off camera trying
to make sure the teleprompter was working for AJ Brown.
But it's the cycle, right, This is the cycle of
AJ Brown. It's the diva wide receiver. He's an afterthought
and it is rather criminal considering how talented a ballplayer
he is. And he'll blow up on social media. He
shows up all pissed off and then does a quick
(08:40):
apology and then you wait three weeks and we do
it all over again. And you put your right foot in,
you put your left foot in, you know, shake it
all and make no mistake, AJ is a top five
talent receiver in the NFL. Does anyone disagree? I don't
see anyone raising their hands. I don't top five talent
in the NFL. But the way the Eagles handle him,
(09:03):
it's it's like he's he's just there to shuffle papers
and refill the toner and the printer. AJ Brown doesn't,
obviously don't feel valued, despite the fact that they won
the Super Bowl and all that stuff, and he's making
a lot of money and they're four and oh, and
he's like he's not being heard by the powers that be.
And when that happens, right, when that happens, whether you're
(09:27):
an NFL player, you got a regular job, I don't
care if you're in Corporate America or the NFL. When
the employee is not listened to by the bosses, you
get cryptic messages, you get staged apologies, and eventually someone
will quit. Whether it's the Eagles doing the unbelievable, unimaginable
and trading AJ Brown or AJ Brown just packing it
in and then forcing the Eagles to get rid of him.
(09:49):
The Eagles better hope he doesn't decide to quietly withdraw
for real AJ Brown, and right now he's got a
quarterback that can't get him the ball. Lee an offense
not designed to be a throwing team. They're a throwback.
The only thing they do well on Philadelphia offensively is
the toush push.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And so AJ Brown, as a result, has been downgraded
to blocking tight.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
End an occasional to throw.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Them a bone and throw them the football, and that's
it all right now. Secondly, we go to Cleveland where
the Browns traveling party heading to London, and the third
string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, Shoulder Sanders. He did
a news conference in Now this is crazy if you
(10:37):
didn't see this in mime, h yeah, all because it
turns out all because former NFL coach turned TV pundit
Rex Ryan Sexy Rexy really liked those feet. Rex Ryan
said he he meeting Sanders had run his mouth too much,
and so Rex Ryan went on a rant and Should
Sanders obviously saw the ant. So the question is how
(10:59):
do you read Brown's third string quarterback, Should Sanders doing
a mime news conference? So this was a PA situation
performance art, It's what this was honoring the classics. Charlie Chaplin,
Marcel Marceau, the silent film stars of early Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Spoiler alert shoulder.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
He absolutely, much like his pass has missed the bullseye
in this one. The second you do a news conference
without words, without words, you've actually proven Rex Ryan a blowhard,
is right that he's living rent free. In your head,
you've basically sent Rex Ryan a love note, an engraved invitation. Hey, Rex,
(11:50):
keep hammering me. Keep hammering me, Rex. It's called rabbit ears.
Rabbit ears, that's what he has. Should hear everything, you
see everything. You're omnipresent. You can't block it out now.
I have a friend of mine who works in the
NFL media who told me a famous story that he
(12:11):
kind of baited Schagdar Sanders on social media just to
see if Shadeur Sanders would respond, and he did. He's like,
this is one of those guys. He must be so bored.
Like I know, there's not a lot going on in Cleveland.
Maybe we should hook him up with strip club John
over there in Cleveland because they can go over there.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I believe Per Capita has the eighth most ballets in
all of the United States. But that aside, it's pretty
obvious that Schoudar doesn't have much of a social life,
and he's just on his phone all the time like
so many of us are, and he's just watching all
of this content. And he saw the Rex Ryan thing,
got a little bit of juice online, and so he
(12:47):
just went for it right, and he's got the rabbit ears.
And you hear everything, you see everything. If Rex Ryan
is criticizing.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You, if that makes you start.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Pulling invisible ropes like Marcel Marceau and you're doing the
invisible rope thing, you're toast right, Cha dirt thinks that
he's sending a message like, hey, I don't need words.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
You know, I don't need words.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
But really the message is I am so delicate, I
am a delicate little flower.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I am fragile. I am fragile. That's the message.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And now the whole league knows it if they didn't
already know it. It's like putting a neon sign, like
you're in Vegas or Times Square put a neon sign,
but you put it on your helmet and you say, hey,
you can get under my skin.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Here's how you get under my skin. He's in the
invisible cube.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Every every mind does only this box is the depth
chart and the shame of shams. You knew Joe Flacca
was not going to make it through the year. He's
been benched, and Dylan Gabriel Dylan ef and Gabriel has
leapfrogged up to the number one quarterback position. There he's
(14:01):
in the presidential suite. And Shadhar Sanders is he is
doing Marcel Marceau impersonations.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
All right now, final thought to Indy we go the
Hoosier State where veteran defensive back Zavon Howard, at age
thirty two, has informed the Horseshoes that he is no
longer going to be a Horseshoe. You see, Zamon Howard
has decided to retire. Bye bye, just days after he
(14:31):
was absolutely mortified a horrific performance against the laa i
Ams now Ada. Prepared statement posted on social media, Zamon
Howard wrote, quote, he said that my dream has now
changed and he is quote no longer willing to put
football before his family.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yes, all about the family.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So the question do you believe that Zavon Howard, defen
back is leaving the Colts to retirement because of his family?
With a capital F? All right, so this is a
sm situation.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Spare me. This is what this is like.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That is the escape, the escape hatch. That is the
escape hatch that every athlete, executive, and coach and sports use.
It's always at their disposal. You're never allowed to criticize it, right,
You're never allowed to criticize it. But it's what you
use when you don't want to admit what we all
saw with our own eyeballs. Right that Xavion Howard, he's
(15:38):
playing the kid card from the bottom of the deck, right,
And let's call it what it is, self preservation, self preservation.
This isn't about family dinners, taking the kids to soccer games.
It's not about that Zavion had a good gig. And
you know, you don't need to talk about this as
the NFL broadcasters love to talk about how much of
(15:59):
these people working all that the most NFL players have
a very short workday, get in early, you work out,
you have meetings, you have practice, you have more meetings,
you have some lunch, you go home right and you
get four or five months off where you just have
to stay in shape and you have to work out,
which is a.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Couple hours a day.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
He wasn't punching a clock at Fannie May, okay, but
the noise, the criticism obviously affected him. He's not one
of these guys locked in highlight reels of Puka Nakua embarrassing,
pantsing Zamon Howard for the world to see and showing
everyone this guy's cooked, right, And you can't go from
(16:38):
all Pro Island where he was Zamon Howard with the
Dolphins and now he's been giving guided tours to Burnt
Toast Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
There's an intersection.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It's all Pro Island and it intersects with Burnt Toast Boulevard,
and you don't want to go down Burnt Toast Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You'd like to stay on all Pro Island.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
But a lot of people make that turn and then
they don't go back to all Pro Island because they're
stuck on Burnt Toast Boulevard and there's no off ramps.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Once you get to Burnt Toast Boulevard, there's no off rams, right,
And so it was like, I gotta.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Keep my pride intact. And Howard like he knew it,
like he knew it, he twice.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Led the NFL. This guy twice led the NFL. Interceptions.
I think poo Coul put up one hundred and seventy
yards most of that against him.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
So this is the guy, Davin Howard. There's some baggage.
There's some stories out there. The guy was with the
Miami Dolphins for a while and now he's quitting on
the Colts mid season, and so he's like, I'm gott embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Pooka nakool owns me.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So I'm gonna slap a sombrero on my head and
I'm gonna book a vacation to can Kun And that's it.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I'm out.

Let's see does anyone know? She Ono Schlano rather says
(21:09):
Angelo White videos Okay. He watches Blippy from Bobby in Florida.
Alf the Alien Opiner says. He watches the end credits
of the Benny Hill Show, studying how Ben jukes and
dodges people trying to run him down, scoring to Alf
doctor Ruth from far Out Dave, that's a relevant name.
(21:32):
And he watches Goosebumps from King Rory, Doctor She's dead.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Who else do we have videos of.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Grizzlies catching salmon? Very impressive. Disney's robin Hood from Fergduck.
She Fergduck listened to the shows the podcast. He knows
that that was my favorite Disney movie. The original cartoon
version of Robinhood. Robbie the Mariner fan says, Pooka Nicour
watches Benny versus The Penny before every game. That's right
(22:03):
as far as I know, I don't know that he doesn't.
Robin Minnesota says Gilmore Girls is the answer. The Sawman
also says that Pokin A Colah big fan of Benny
Versus the Penny on the YouTube.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Who else?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Paige don Rebecca said Wally George, She said that earlier
watches dwarf on football from Mister Irrigation. He watches watches
from ekeon Roseville, Minnesota. J T the Wingman says the
rescue Heroes. That is a good fine that's old school,
(22:37):
old school from JT the Wingman.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
He watches Lakers bloopers and practical jokes from Donkey's Sausage.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I think that's what he meant to say there.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Monkey Biz Doug from South Korea says that poking A
Coua watches the Dumb and Dummer is the answer.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Do you have an answer?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
The ray?
Speaker 7 (23:00):
I know yes. I think he watches Michael Jackson music
videos before.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
The game, which one particularly.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
I think all of them. I think he kind of
just puts on a playlist and gets gets his you know,
it gets going.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Unfortunately, as think correct turns out that, according to Matthew Stafford,
Rams wide receiver Pulcua Stafford disclosed before each game he
watches highlights of Lebron James highlights of Lebron.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
That which highlights I know, right.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Say, if I want to if I want to laugh,
I watched the highlight of Lebron grabbing his purse and
walking out of the news conference when the.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Calves are playing the Warriors and the finals.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I still laugh at that every single I laugh at
the video when Lebron had he used to carry these
books around in the playoffs because.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
He wanted to seem like he was all smart and
all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
So he'd carry a book and then every once in
a while it was a reporter, usually from some foreign
country somewhere, that would ask Lebron about the book, and
Lebron would stumble and bumble because he hadn't actually read
the book.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
He just carried it around a prop.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
It was like carrot top and it was I still
laugh at those those videos.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Very funny. All right, we'll take some calls. It is
a call in show and eeny meeny, miney, mall. Let's
go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
We'll say hello to Let's go to Caleb, who's in Springfield.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Hello, Caleb, welcome.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
Hey been talking earlier about how time just flies. I
have to tell you a story really quick.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Go ahead.
Speaker 9 (24:26):
I used to listen to Jason Smith on the Four
Letter Network radio overnight and he got fired. So I
tuned into Fox Sports Radio for the first time in
a long time, and lo and behold, I'm sixteen years
old at the time. It's Ben Mallers first night back
after a long hiatus. I've literally been listening to you
(24:52):
since you've been back on Fox Sports Radio. I've been
through college. I'm engaged now.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Mazasof congratulates. You're all grown up. Look at you, you're
all growing up.
Speaker 8 (25:04):
Killer's wonderfully every step of the way. I had to
get some bobbiganears.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You know, that's a that's awesome. Well, congratulations on that.
That's a that's a wonderful thing.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
You're all you're all growing up. You got a job,
you're working. What are you going on?
Speaker 8 (25:19):
Yeah, man, yeah, I'm running a restaurant out here Missouri.
Uh what they called it for So, yeah, it's good.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
Stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Man, that's great. And have you been over to the now?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Is it like a mom and pop place or is
it a chain or what kind of restaurant is it?
Speaker 8 (25:34):
You know, it's one of those in between things where
it's like a mom and pop that owns seven restaurants,
so they're not really corporate, but they a little close.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Now is your plan to eventually like start your own
thing and do your own restaurant deal and and go.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
Off and learn from Ben mallor you don't do those
kinds of things because it's so much easier when other
people are writing the checks.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yes, that is accurate.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
That is accurate if you can, but you have to
find someone to cut the check for you. And then
you're you're also now have you? I know you're over
in Springfield, But if you made the pilgrimage Caleb to
Kansas City the Liberty, Missouri and had the ben malor
chicken fingers in Liberty, have you made that trip?
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Then you know I have?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Okay, good?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
All right?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Was just making sure I'm just making that's right?
Speaker 11 (26:19):
No, you all?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I understand? And are you now when is the do
we have a date for the wedding? Two third? All right,

twenty twenty six.

Speaker 8 (26:34):
That's wonderful, Tye.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I'm gonna go know on that for one thousand.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
But uh, they do play Carolina, so they should be
able to beat Carolina, uh this week.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
All right? Thanks, thanks keV, thanks for listening. I appreciate that.
And this is gonna blow your mind, Caleb.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It's gonna absolutely blow your mind because before you were alive.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I'm assuming I don't know how old you are. Maybe
you were alive. You're a kid.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
But when I started here, one of the first shows
that I did at Fox Sports Radio, I did a
weekend show with Jason Smith before he ran off to
the Four letter We did a show together on the
on the weekends, and I did a show with him
one night, and then I had I did it.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
There were some other people I work with.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I did my own show for a while, so it
just bouncing around Fox Sports RADI let's go to Sleepless
in Seattle. Jack, Hello, Jack, Welcome, he thank you.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
Ben Maller. You know we've we've talked before, but I've
straightened my act out. You know, now that we've got
cal Rawley, the big dumper. He got to sixty, which
we talked about he probably wouldn't. But now I'm like
sitting around in Seattle watching all these other teams, like
what's like itch and you know, kind of itching and
(27:52):
scratch and where's the baseball at? But we gotta wait
either Detroit or the Guardian Cleveland come in town next weekend.
And it's kind of a weird position to be in.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Well, it's a great position to be in because if
you want, I'm assuming you want the Guardians to win
because they're the weaker team, right, you want to play
the Guardians and then the Mariners kind of have a
fast pass into the league championship series, so that would
be cool. And then you know what's going to happen
is when we get right before we start playing, it'll
be the.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Rust versus Rest. The Mariners are going to struggle because
they had some time off.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
They didn't play for a week, and they're going to
complain about if they lose, they'll complain about that.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
That's what I'm really worried about because we've gone what
twenty three and two or some ungodly records.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
But the good news Jack, as you know, Jack, as
you know, one of my positions has been there is
no such thing as momentum, so you don't have to
worry about this.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
No momentum.
Speaker 10 (28:49):
So just momentum is as good as tomorrow's starting pitcher
in baseball.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I've heard that somewhere along the way. I've heard that.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah, it's also you have good momentum when you score
ten runs, you have really good moment when cal raw
If cal Rawly hits three home runs, you have good momentum.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
Man. But for him to get to sixty, it was
such just that was such. I was up at the
the game when he had fifty eight. Right the game,
we fifty eight.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
And that, yeah, well it is.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
It is good Jack, because I heard for the last
how many years, like nobody can hit that many home runs.
That ballpark's too big, you know, it's not like the
King Dome back in the day.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
It's a big ballpark.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
And I guess if you're good enough, it doesn't matter,
you'll hit home runs. So there is that, all right,
thank you, Jack. He can't sleep, he's so worried about
the Mariners. Let's go down to Chicago and we say
hello to the Tree, our buddy, the Tree, who's right there,

Would like to know do you refrigerate hot sauce?
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
So pretty much what happens at the at the house
is once anything is open, it immediately goes into refrigerator.
Like everything goes into frigerat the only thing that doesn't
is there is actually some tabasco sauce. But like most
hot sauce, the other hot sauce goes in there, but
the for some reason that Tabasco does not.
Speaker 7 (35:02):
What about you, Lorena, Yeah, I used to work at
a restaurant, so tabasco always stays on the counter or
on the table, and if it gets a weird brown color,
I throw it out. Tapatillo, though, does stay in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
For me, Tapatia white tapatilla. What's the difference between tapatio.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
And the other.
Speaker 7 (35:17):

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.
