Speaker 1 (00:42):
Well, if you had the New York Yankees being eliminated
a sweep in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
You are a loser.

Sporting world the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by Doc Dan.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Now, Doc Dan was down on his luck.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
He was in the hospital and he found overnight talk
radio in the hospital. He's out now I understand he's
become a fan, So try not to go back to
the hospital.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
They try to avoid that way anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:44):

Speaker 3 (02:10):
The way tire buying should be. So the chair is
a little lower than normal. I don't.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I don't know why I'm gonna I'm gonna adjust the
chair right now. Let me see because I come in
here and there's other people in the studio. I'm gonna
hold on a second. Let me see if I can
adjust the chair. There we go, oct Sue. It's a
little higher, and now I'll be able to do the show.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I don't like that low chair. I mean it was
too low. And he's it's you gotta have it just right.
You get you have to assign the chair properly, and
the chair was not assigned. Probably anyway. I lead this
hour is from the American League playoffs. There were no
nationally playoff games. We talked about that, but there were
none on Tuesday. As the party got started. We'll begin
(02:50):
in the Bronx the late game. Although these games, because
of the weather to lay in Detroit were simultaneous, most
of them.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
The game in Detroit between the Mariners and the Tigers
started about an hour before the game at Yankee State.
It was supposed to be much earlier, but three hours
almost three hours of rain delay. But American League Divisional
Series Game number three and the Aaron Judge hyperbole is
through the roof on this Aaron Judge hit a tying
home run, a game tying home run off the foul
(03:21):
poll at Yankee Stadium. There as the Yankees get four
runs batted in by Aaron Judge and stave off elimination.
The only time we use the word stave is in
sports to talk about somebody not being eliminate. They staved
off elimination. Yankees rallied from five runs down. That doesn't
(03:44):
happen very often, although sportscasters always pretend like it happens
all the time.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
It does not very rarely does that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Happen, and they did here, and so the Yankees end
up defeating the Blue Jays nine to six.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Is your final.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And it was actually Jazz Chisholm, who's not getting his
massage and his bubble bath from the medium, who hit
the go ahead home run here.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
He hit the go ahead home run in the fifth inning.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
But it's all about Aaron Judge toelicking by the National
Baseball Medium. They love them some, Aaron Judge. But it
was chising We with the go ahead home run there
in the fifth dings. So the Yankees taking advantage of
some shoddy play by the Blue Jays, they must have
had a good time. The story the other day was
Vladimir Guerrero was very braggadocious about how, oh, the Blue
(04:32):
Jays had an optional workout at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
The entire team showed up. That's team unity.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Did the entire team go out bar hopping after the workout?
My god, miscues, errors, terrifically terrible pitching, the whole thing.
The better story is in that losing locker.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Room, all God.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
So that is where we will begin. As we discussed
the question who gets the dish of blame poutine for
Vladi Guerrero Junior's Toronto squad as they get squished by
the Yankees in this game. So I've got the boat show,
the Bronx Diner, and pool noodles, and we will combine
(05:18):
all of these things together and we are going to
make an amazing chicken tendies, is what we're going to do.
So he the first rule of sports talk radio is
to not over complicate things, right, so we're not going
to overcome kick the situation. Toronto had a six to
(05:39):
one lead and a five run lead in an elimination game,
and they win the game. They're onto the American League
Championship Series. And somehow despite a five run lead. The
big advantage you have on the road is to play
with the lead, and you have the other team, the
home team with tight tuckasin tight took us syndrome, and
(06:03):
the Blue Jays could not even take advantage of that
because they did jump out to the fire run leave.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Vladdie did his joh Vladimir gerro J and you the
two run homer early on.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
He did his little macho man chest pounding thing when
he's a running around the base. Look at me, Look
at me. Look at how great I am. Lat's Vladimir Guerrero.
Crowd was buzzing there, it was. It was interesting, you
Yankee fans out here we go. It's a starting to
act like Mets fans. Here we go there.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
But anyway, that should have been an early body blow
that put Toronto in position to win. He did put
him in a position to win. They didn't win it.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Obviously, the Jays scored enough the office. You score six runs,
that is a big enough lead to win the game.
And does anyone disagree with that? No one disagrees with
Nobody disagrees. And then the pitching staff collectively grabbed the
keys somehow to the team bus. They peeled out of
the Yankee Stadium parking lot. There they wanted the causeway
(06:59):
and they drove straight into a ditch, which is hard
to find in the Bronx, but they found a ditch
and they just drove right there.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
There's sound of it.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And so the starter was somebody that Toronto picked up
at the trade deadline, Shane Bieber, the Beabs. So you're
given a five run lead, you're giving the baseball in
the bottom of the third inning, and what did Beabs
do he said, you know what, I'm the Duke of
Puke and I'm gonna ride the vomit comet. And there
(07:28):
he did, vomited all over the mound. It ends up
going just fifty four pitches. Now I realize he's had injuries.
And they talked about that in the Fox broadcast and
all they but fifty four pitches.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
And then they had to wave him out of the game.
Get your fat ass out of the game. Get out
of here. Now.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
That is not pitching. Okay, that is not pitching. That
is the Gong show is.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
What that was.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
For the Toronto Blue Jays would have been better off.
The Blue Jays would have been better off had they
gotten Justin Bieber all the mound, who does not have
an athletic bone in his body. But they put him
on the mound and he can start crooning on the mount.
He could serenade sarenade the hitters there with baby baby,
you know, and just do that over and over again.
(08:15):
And the Yankee hitters would have been so annoyed by
that baby baby baby know that they would have struggled
to hit the ball. So they went to the bullpen
and how did that go that? Well, that was a
trip the Blue Jay bullpen. They went down to the
boat show. They went down to the boat show, and
all the relievers they grabbed their life jackets from the
(08:36):
Blue j bullpen. In fact, it's very odd when you
go out of the bullpen and you go onto the
field to give you a life jacket.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So they all had their life jackets. And there they were.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
They were motoring towards Misery Island and they took the ferry.
Now not the Staten Island ferry. They took the Suck Faery,
which is that's a different ferry, but it goes over
to Jersey Suck Ferry. That's what they took right there.
Very impressive, eight unanswer runs given up by the Toronto
pitching staff as they kicked the ball around. It was
(09:05):
like they were auditioning for Toronto FC, the MLS squad there.
Why not everyone outside of Vladimir Guerrero Junior gets a
spoonful of shame, A spoonful of shame. Now, John Schneider
is the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, and here
he is talking about the fact that apparently you just
(09:28):
have to flush this down the toilet.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
We'll hear the question of the answer.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
To list, John, You've talked a lot about this season
about your team's ability to turn the page. Can describe
a little bit resetting after this one, given that you
had a spot in the Alcs in your hands and
now there's a game four.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yeah, I mean we had a spot in the Alcs
in our hands when the series started, you know what
I mean. I know it's six to one in the
third inning, but we still have a spot like that tomorrow,
you know what I mean. So these guys will be
ready to go. You know, it's it's it's really comforting
for me to see them do that all year. I
know they're going to do it again tomorrow, and you
(10:06):
have to kind of take out the outside noise that
comes to plane here and all that kind of stuff.
So I got all the confidence in the world. And
these guys showing up tomorrow ready to go and just
doing their normal day and competing their asses off.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
So why were they not ready for this game? Again?
No accountability? Why not just go we sucked?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Why can't you say, hey, I'm the major of the
Toronto Blue.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Jays and we blow in that game? Why ca'se it? Oh? No,
you Okny?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I hate this this is the part of this crab
I hate. It's like every night I give it. Very
rarely do you get somebody's like, yeah, we sucked. Like
everyone say you suck, you sucked.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Just say it.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I sucked.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Say it, I sucked. I'm the Blue Jay. They were terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You had a five run lead, you blew it and
you throw that crap out. That's modern leadership, that's modern coaching.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's a bad call.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It's a bad call by me.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Meanwhile, another thing that annoyed me. I'm just gonna say
it's my therapy. I don't even care if you listen.
I'm just gonna complain about stuff that bothers me. So
I'm watching the game and Joe Davis, thank god, he's
not doing the Dodger games right now. Not a big fan,
so Joe Davis. He actually said on Fox Joe Davis.
He claimed very dramatically that Aaron Judge's playoff moment happened
(11:29):
when he hit a three run tying home run for
the Yankees. He said it on the broadcast, and it
was like this great poetic call by the announcer there that.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Aaron Judge hurt his moment. There's his moment.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, let's play. Here's we have the audio. I think
this is the audio, so let's go to it. This
is the thing that that triggered me. I actually moved
around a little bit on my sofa. Listen to strike pitch.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
It's a IF Experiences moment.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I actually puked in my mouth when I heard that,
and I literally puked in my mouth.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
My god.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
All right, I'll ask the question, does this qualify as
Aaron Judge the captain of the Yankees moment.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
In the playoffs? All right?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So for those of you who relate to the party, welcome.
So this is a three run home run in the
fourth inning of the Divisional Series Game three? Is the
bar that low now for the New York Yankees? Is
that where we have reached? This is a new low
for the New York Yankees. That Babe Ruth is rolling
(12:54):
over in his grave, and Lou Garrick is shaking his
head deep in the ground somewhere, and Jolton Joe Dimagio
cannot believe that this is the Yankees, this is the
modern Yankees. That Aaron Judge had his moment in the
Divisional round Game three tying home run. So I guess
(13:18):
we're grading on a curve now? Is that what we're
doing now with the Yankees? Is that how we're doing it.
If you're wearing pinstripes, you get graded on a curve.
That's Good's that's solid. It's like these guys are acting
like he had a walk off home run in Game
seven of the World Series. I was like, calm down,
just calm down a little bit. Don't force it. You
do not need to force it. There's a very good
(13:41):
chance the Yankees still lose this series. So what do
you say?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Then?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Let me just forget about it. Aaron Judge has been
awesome in the regular season, not always so good in
the postseason. Right, the dude's been more instead of Aaron
Judges been Aaron jury duty in the in the playoffs,
and often watching Aaron Judge in the playoffs compared to
(14:05):
the regular season is often a long, boring experience and
you just can't seem to get out of it. He
can't get out of it either. And see again, this
is the kind of stuff that drives me bonkers. I'm
probably the only one I admit it. Other people don't
seem to care because this has been going on for years.
But for me, it bothers me. You don't need to
romanticize everything. Not everything is a romantic Hallmark movie. You
(14:28):
don't need to do it. Okay, it's okay. It's like
going down to the Bronx Diner watching the coverage of
Aaron Judge. You go down to the Bronx Diner and
the menu had a main course of hyperbole and the
side dish was exaggeration. That was the Aaron Judge meo.
There the broadcasters who fall in love with the story,
(14:49):
it's all about the story. Before the story's been written.
They've already put the story out there like that. That's
the they want that Back in the day, it's called
the Reggie mal where I've been waiting, waiting for years
to crown Aaron Judge and the.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Big Mammoth home run Judge hits. Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
It's like, it's not some kind of cinematic breakthrough for
Aaron Judge.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Unfortunately, Aaron Judge's moment and this is the reality. I'll
be the grown up in the room here. So Aaron
Judge's momentt in playoff baseball. His moment happened in the
twenty twenty four World Series when the announcer said, oh
my god, Aaron Judge muffed it. He muffed the fly
(15:37):
ball in center field during Game five. My favorite inning
in Yankee Baseball history, by the way, Game five, the
fifth inning of Game five of the twenty twenty four
World Series, when he.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Literally dropped the ball. Not my opinion, he literally dropped
the ball. He dropped it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
The Yankees doway five run lead to the Dodgers, and
that is the clip that is going to live forever.
Not a home run in Yankee Stadium in Game three
of the Divisional round of the playoffs against the Toronto
Blue Jays. Judge also batted two twenty two in the
World Series last year. That's not very helpful to the
(16:15):
Aaron Judge marching in shout of society. Not exactly the
stuff of legends. So you want a malment, right, You're
all about the molment right there. You know, Reggie Jackson
had three dingers in one night against the Dodgers, and
that was the Reggie Malmon.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Right.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
People talk about that because Misster October.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Because of that night and until Aaron Judge, and this
is gonna be a bold take. Nobody else has this
take until Aaron Judge gets it done. I gotta get
her done in the World Series. And then at the
end of the World Series and the last team standing
is the New York Yankees. Until that happens, then the moment,
no matter how many times Joe Davis says.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
That's the moment, it doesn't know, and Joe.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Can stop sending the heart emojis about Aaron Judges just stuff.
We'll you know when Aaron Judge is the last man
standing and is the reason the super nova the Yankees
win in October. Now, I assume you play with the
Yankees long enough, you're going to win. Yeah, how hard
it is to play with the Yankees for ten years
and not win a World Series. Mathematically, it's very rarely
(17:17):
happened in the history of the Yankees. So at some
point they're going to win. Not this year they're gonna win,
but at some point they're going to win. Right now, now,
last words, we go to Motown and a game that
was supposed to be an Island game but turned out
to be just another random game that a few people watched.
It was on FS two Fox Sports two FS one
(17:37):
had the well the first hour of the Marinder Tiger
game was on the regular FS one channel, and then
they bumped it because the Yankees have more fans than
the Mariners and the Tigers. We'll go to Motown where
the Mariners are on the brink. They're on the Robbie
the Mariner fan, cannot sleep. He's up all night crying. Craig,
JJ and Renton, they're all excited, right, They can't believe it.
(18:03):
Even Nostradinas, his cynical ass, is excited about this. So
the Mariners could get back to the America League Championship Series.
They're this close.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Cal Rally, the Big Dumper hit a home run.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
There, two run shot, and Eugenio Suarez hit a home run,
picked him up at the trade deadline from the d Backs,
and JP Crawford sent one into the bleachers as well.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
There sold those shots for those guys.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
As Seattle doubled up the Tigers in a game the
final scorer is eight to four. Was not that close,
and so Seattle now two to one best of five lead.
There one went away from advancing. Game was delayed almost
three hours because God was crying for some reason.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
The Mariners are within a win of their first alcs.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Since twenty oh one.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I was a child in twenty oh one, my god,
barely alive, and here we are, all right. So the
first chance will come later on in afternoon game here
on Wednesday at Coomerica Park. If they screw that one up,
they'll go back Friday to Seattle with another opportunity. But
the better story is on the loser's side, So quickly,
what is wrong with the Motors City Kitties. I thought
(19:16):
they'd fix their problems that beat the Cleveland Guardians and
the wild card rounds.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
So they'd fix things. Fix it.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well, the first thing is rather obvious watching the Tigers.
It's like every other suck bag team, and the Tigers
weren't like this for the first couple months of the
baseball season, but they clearly have defective bats. It looked
like they were swinging pull noodles out there, like you
know in the summertime in the pool, you got those
little thin pool noodles and all that, and the Tiger
(19:43):
lineup yet again, that check engine light popping up for
the Tigers line up there flashing pretty much every get
bad when you do the math on this. Now, the
big thumpers if you want to call that Riley Green
and Spencer Torkelsen. What a great name, Spencer Torklsen.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
My god.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Anyway, those two guys are supposed to be the big cats,
the big kitty cats for the Detroit Tigers, and kind
of house kittens, you know, look house kittens at this point, hello.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Kitty, Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Between them, they have hit the ball about as hard
as a really good soft serve machine, that delicious soft
serve ice cream. Yeah, like that kind of classic Detroit misery.
We can go through the whole thing here. You know
the scene, right, grace, guys over Detroit, you know, rusted
out factories, sad parade down Woodward Avenue, and that's Detroit sports, right.
(20:39):
The Tigers, the Comerica part. Now, this is the home
game for them. They won a game in Seattle, so
here's a home game, and of course it turns into
a haunted house yet again. Sixty eight strikeouts in six
playoff games for the Detroit Tigers. Sixty eight strikeouts in
six playoff game. That's not baseball. That is a job
(21:00):
fare for with machines is when you get a whiff,
you get a with the Mariners are not exactly the
one Mariners or the twenty seven Yankees. They're not this
guy Logan Gilbert, who's a good pitcher, a good pitcher, however,
Detroit made him look like Pedro Martinez for stretches in
his prime. There, they've scored six runs in sixty twenty eight,
(21:24):
six runs in twenty eight innings. So now they did
score some garbage time runs. They were down seven runs
and then not an offense. That's more of an Amber
alert for the Detroit Tigers here. And they appear to
be allergic to getting big hits to drive in runs,
and they just kind of break out in hives. It's
a problem. You might want to go to a doctor.
There's some cream you can get. You can rub all
over yourself there, good luck. Maybe they should use those
(21:47):
whiffle bats from Little Caesars used to giveaway whiffle bats.
They can use those because the bats they're using right
now are not exactly working. And now the Tigers their
season on the line. They turned to Casey Mizo. Casey
must because of you know, can't go above and beyond
the call of duty. Right back in the old days,
you say, all right, this is an elimination game. Trek
(22:08):
Scooble is going to be on the mound, but you,
oh no, you can't pitch him on short rest. They
will literally have to amputate his arm. So instead is
a good chance that the next time we see Schooble
pitch will be in the Grapefruit League next year.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
As if the Tigers.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Do not win this game, it's really like it kind
of is must win, right for the Mariors, I gotta
win this game because he got Schooble in Game five,
And for the Tigers, it's like, well, if they win,
it's must win because they otherwise they're done.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
So it's really a must win today.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
But the Tiger's not going to go with Schooble unless
a last minute change happens.

Lead this hour from Sinsinady a follow up follow up.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
To a previous mal monologue.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
A few days back, we ranted and raved about the
fact that the Cincinnati ben Gals head coach Jack Taylor
had announced he had unwavering support for Jake Browning unwavering
support for his starting quarterback. I went back, I checked
(25:33):
my notes because I thought, well, did he do that?
I tell you, yeah, that was six days ago, so
we now know unwavering support last six days.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
That's it. Because if you have not heard, the Bengals
have made a chance. Hold on, I call them by
their wrong.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Name, the Ben Gals, or if you like better, the
bung Gals.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Well, they made a change at quarterback. If you have
not heard, I don't know where you've been.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Cincinnati has gone out and traded for a Super Bowl hero.
They have made their move, Joe Flacco. You gotta find
the idiot in the room. That would be the Bengals.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I'm not making that. You think I'm lying, I'm not
making this up. I am not.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Cincinnati has acquired Joe Flacco in the very rare Ohio,
Ohio trade. Dick and Dayton's heads exploded right now.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I can't believe it better. I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Anyway, So Joe Flacco traded within the division. If you
don't listen to the whole show, Dick and Dayton usually
calls the last hour. He's our Ohio sports expert. So
there is Cincinnati acquiring Joe Flacco a trade with the
Cleveland football team. The Ben Goals also received a sixth.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Round draft pick. The Browns landed a fifth round pick.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
It was like a trade, a swap of picks and
moving parts and all that. But anyway, let us discuss
the question who cares about traffics. Traffics are the losers.
So how do you dissect the rotting carcass of Joe
Flacco being repackaged to cross the state of Ohio little
in state commerce as he goes from the Browns to
(27:21):
the Bengals. So on this one, I've got out Fox
game show rerun and medical lab and we will combine
all of these things together and we are gonna make
your Babushka's favorite cheese doodles, because every Babushka loves good
cheese doodles. So number you jumped the gun number all right?
(27:50):
So my first thought on this the Bengals making the trade.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
This is unbelieved. This is crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
So uh, this is the dick the Dictionary definition of
to make a trade. Just to make a trade, you
make a change, just to make it change. Right, It's
a lateral move right into the landfill. You are already
heading towards the landfill, and you've now made the move
a little faster. You've put a little pedal to the metal.
(28:18):
There trash out garbage in. Trash out garbage in right there.
So the Cincinnati Front Office, I love this. So in
the cartoon bubble in mind, I want to see if
you agree with me on this.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
So in the.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Cartoon bubble in my head, the Bengals front office and
coaching staff they're like, well, publicly, we have unwavering support
for Jake Browning. Privately they were essentially cold calling other
NFL front offices like a telemarketer at dinner time and saying, hey, Hi,
(28:53):
this is Joe Blow from the Cleveland Browns. Do you
have any washed up quarterbacks that are lying around collecting
dust that we can have? And so they called every
team and then that like, the last one they called
was the Cleveland Browns, and Cleveland was trying not to laugh.
The front office there this shiit sure we got a guy.
(29:13):
We got a guy for you, no problem. And so
I'm pretty sure you're not getting the twenty thirteen version
from Baltimore. Joe Flacco has been living off that one
magic carpet ride for over a decade. How long does
this last? What is the statue of limitations on a
Super Bowl run? Well, for Joe Flacco, he's going on
(29:34):
twelve years, twelve years, and the last great moment he
had was twelve years ago. It's what and Flacco continues
and this is a solid move This is the same
move that criminals make. They move locations rapidly to out
fox the authorities. You got to be one step ahead
(29:56):
of the law, is what they say. So since twenty
eighteen se in years, Joe Flacco has now played for
six different teams. He has started forty one games. He's
fourteen and twenty seven, which I didn't play in the NFL.
I'm told that's not good. Fifty nine touchdowns, thirty eight
interceptions in a gaggle of fumbles, and he's officially hit
(30:19):
the AFC North punch card. He's got three of the
four teams in the division. The only one he's missing
is the Pittsburgh Steelers. So good luck to Sean the
Hood Guy and the other Steeler fans because Joe Flacco
will be playing for you. It's inevitable next season. So
that the Browns somehow come out of this ahead. They
were able to put Joe Flacco on offer up with
(30:43):
a free come by pick it up yourself tag, and
then somebody said, well, we'll pay you something for that,
and said, well, we don't want anything, We're gonna give
it away. Why no, I want to give you something, Well,
we don't want anything. Well, fine, okay, I'll take it. Fine,
go ahead. And so they flipped him for a pick,
swap a fifth for a sixth, and so they get
(31:04):
to upgrade the draft board and all that stuff. Meanwhile,
the Bengals, the Bungals there in Cincinnati, they just bought
a sedan off the interweb that has three hundred thousand
miles on it and a bad transmission.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That is what they got.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
And of course the social media world, the bots, what's up?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Bots?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
The bots are all excited, they're all horny because, oh,
does this mean Shirdar Sanders is now going to be
a heart beat away or a broken ankle away from
starting for Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
I don't know about that. Maybe not, maybe not.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
But the story in Cincinnati is capital h humiliation. You
have your head coach a week ago announce you have
unwavering support, unwavering support for your quarterback, Jake Browning, and
Jake Browning has been so bad he does deserve to
lose his job. But when you come out over the
(31:59):
time story, we don't believe co is. We just mock
coaches and low information fans. The dumb dumbs. They believe
everything right, They believe everything they hear from these.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
School Why would he lie? I don't understand. Shut up anyway.
So back to the story.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
So Jake Browning deserved to get demoted, He got the
mot he deserves a wedgie someone he's so bad, he's
a weg. But when you say unwavering support and then
a week later you've traded for somebody else who also
sucks Jake Browning, the media of the Malar math on this.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
He had eight.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Interceptions in four games, and he has been replaced by
a boomer in Joe Flacco, who's also cooked. Joe Flacco
absolutely cooked. There, I absolutely cooked, And you can have
all the veteran presence you'll want the adult in the room.
But this is just again, as we said, change for
(32:53):
chain's sake for the Cincinnati Bengals. Here the malor report card,
the report card record. The Bengals get a D, they
get the date. Congratulations there, Joe Flacco has a few
less maggots than Jake Browning on his body, so congratulations,
there's less vermin on on Flacco.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
He's by no means good. I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I couldn't give him an F because Jake Browning is
an F quarterback and Flacco's a D. So you upgraded
from an F to a D. You still have to
go to summer school, so I'm sorry about that. Now
the Browns get a C. You can't get too excited
about a draft pick because only I can't see what
I want to do. But this is people that I'm
(33:39):
not big fans.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Of Schrendrick's dingle Berry's love the draft.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
They get so excited for it. It's not a football trade.
It's more of a pity swap by the Browns, like,
oh man, you're part of the cartel Cincinnati, and you're
embarrassing all of us.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
We got to get you somebody else here to take
our trash. Here you go, all right now, page too.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Speaking of trash, Oh Dell Beckham and your oh be
Jay remember him former NFL player Odell Beckham.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Well, he is facing a trip.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
To the natty list because he dabbled in the needle.
Little poke poke strong strong, Uh yeah, pds six game suspension.
He was a non factor with the Miami Dolphins. Might
remember last season. However, he still is holding out hope.
(34:27):
Granted it's a faint hope, but Odell Beckham that he
will play for a contender not just in the NFL,
mind you, not just in the NFL, but for a
contender at some point this season. So he's getting that
good ayahuasca.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
It clearly is.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
In fact, he specifically mentioned the Steelers, MS and cans
Uh City as possibilities during an appearance on a Fledgling
Jock podcast.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
There are so many, they're all the same.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
He said, quote Beckham, you can say whatever you want
about me.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Well, that's right. I'm a talk shows That's what I do.
I just like to say what I want. Quote continues, He.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Said, I stand firm in knowing who I am today.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Okay, good.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
He said, I ain't never cheated anybody but myself. Okay, well,
I kind of cheated the other people that are trying
to make rosters. If I guess he did this with
the Dolphins. He was mentioned doing steroids and still sucking.
If I read that right, that's like, that's kind of embarrassing, right,
It's like I did all this and it's like a
baseball player rubbing the clear and the cream on and
(35:41):
you know, putting a needle in your ass, and then
you hit seven home runs.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
You're like, well, what's that about. I don't understand well,
I guess you didn't.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Do it right, dummy, So good anyway, So again Beckham.
The point of this is Beckham's like, hey, I'm gonna
come back and play.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I didn't cheat anybody.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
I am.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
We keep doing what I'm doing it. You can say
whatever you want blah blah blah bla blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
And he mentioned the Steelers, Rams and the Chiefs. So
let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. What
is it going to take for Odell Beckham to return
to the NFL. So we're talking about a guy who,
again it's all because of the hyperbole of New York,
(36:22):
had a catch on a Sunday night game. If I
remember correctly, the Giants lost to the Cowboys. It was
a highlight catch al Michaels had to call there on
a Sunday night game. And here we are, and now
he can't even get a tryout with an NFL team,
Like he's going on podcasts trying to drum up interest,
(36:43):
like a politician trying to see where where the wind
is blowing. Here, it's it's kind of like watching at
this point, what Beckham needs. It's he needs to watch
a game show rerun of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
The only scenario I see Odell Beckham getting back, and
we all agree he can't play a him he's done
doesn't mean he can't get a job. It just means
he can't play. He's thirty two, but he's like an
(37:04):
old thirty two. So Beckham, he's gotta go Who Wants
to be a Millionaire? And remember one of the lifelines
they had.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Phone a friend, Phone a friend.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
And as I've gotten older in life, I've realized that
you can have all the academia you want, you have
all the education you want, but it doesn't really matter.
It's who you know, not what you know. It's who
you know that's what matters. More so, it's like, hey,
he knows Sean McVay, Hey, ring Ring, Hey Sean. I
know I normally text, but I decided to call you.
My name's Odell Beckham. You got a roster spot for me?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (37:35):
And he calls Aaron Rodgers, Hey remember that party we
went to back in the day in Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Yeah, the Ayahuascar was really good.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Yeah yeah, it's a obj Yeah yeah, So you know,
I'd like to like to get a job, and then
Roger will be like, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna burn some sage for you. I'm gonna I'm
gonna burn some sage. I'll manifest destiny this and I'm
gonna make it happen. And I'll also take you to
a darkness retreat.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
So Beckham's whole career at this point in time is
one big It's not what you know, it's who you know.
That's what it is. That's everything's hinging on that He's
you got tape. He's washed up from the tape. Two acls,
I believe. I think two, three cities one Kardashian. I
think it might be more than three cities. Right was
(38:21):
in the Giants, Cleveland, the Rams, Baltimore in Miami.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
So four cities, Yeah, I might be missing one. I
go with four. I'm gonna go with four. So there.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
But he's still got the roll the deck. So he's
still got that nice phone book on his iPhone. There
and see if McVeigh loves him, and Matthew Stafford trusts him,
and some of the Rams receivers get hurt Andy Reid's
wide receiver room depressing. It looks like a clear and
style at a dollar tree. Not a lot going on there.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
And so so you're saying there's a chance.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
But the problem you get on the phone with those
people and they're like, all right, you know, I remember
Odell Beckham, back the man.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
But you're selling the name. You're selling Nostalgia's what you're
selling there. You're selling the.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Good vibrations from days gone by, not what's going on
right now. You have no separation speed that does not exist.
And if he gets back in Odell Beckham, it will
be on a.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Wing and a prayer on a wing.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
He might want to go to the Saints because they're
big in praying, So go to the Saints. The Angels
don't play in the NFL, so I'm told so. OBJ
wearing those rose colored spectacles, the Gucci rose colored spectacles,
hoping that he can make some bad highlights, or at
least stand on the bench and pretend like he's playing.
Get to wear the uniform, do some cosplay and all that.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
All right. Final point to the Land of Belichick. Follow up,
follow up follow.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Up docuseries Gone Bad, Docuseries Gone bad. A behind the
scenes look at Bill Belichick's North Carolina Tar Hill football
program has been.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Killed.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
The kabash Not Gonna Happen will not be coming to
a small screen streaming service near you. We've learned that
Who Lou, which somehow is still in business Hulu. The
series planned all around Bill Belichick and his floozy girlfriend
his first year at Chapel Hill will no longer be happy.
(40:24):
Not gonna happen there. This comes just a couple days
after the tar Hills got publicly flogged by Clemson on
their home turf thirty eight to ten.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Yikes, that ain't good.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
So question why did Bill Belichick end up getting cold
feet and North Carolina not going forward with the docu series.
Was it Belichick that put the kill switch on it?
Or was it Hulu that put the kill switch on it?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
So.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
The obvious answer to this, if North Carolina was four
and one right now and they were the toast of
college football, then they would be choreographing and Belichick himself
would be choreographing drone shots of Belichick walking around practice,
and he'd be jogging in a gray cutoff North Carolina
(41:18):
hoodie with the powder blue North Carolina Tar.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Hill logo there, and it would be b roll.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
They would show in the opening scene of the first episode,
back to work for the old chriz Old coach, and
he'd be walking around had the whistle whistle, whistle whistle.
He'd have all that, but for Belichick bailing the Belichickian
haters out there like, oh, this is crazy. Belichick likely
(41:45):
thinks this is some kind of pr move, like if
you could be a little bitty fly.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
On the wall in the North Carolina facility. He thinks, well,
here's what I'll do.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
I know this move here, so we'll just scrub clean
the bad video from the games and the practices like
it's a medical lab. No one will be able to
get any DNA any of this, and it's kind of
like burning the tape before the tape gets sent to
the front office. Of course, this reality is much different
(42:18):
here in North Carolina, because you get the seventy three
year old Belichick, the twenty four.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
Year old influencer.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
You lost to Clemson, got smoked, You lost the opener
to TCU, got smoked, a UCF got roasted, and so
they pull the plug on Hulu now I have no
insider information, but just using the brain that I was
given and just chopping by the law of probabilities, I think,
(42:48):
but most likely happened here like Belichick's not playing chess,
He's not you know, he's not playing even more like
hungry hungry hippos, you know, is what he's doing here.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
But here, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
You want to bet dollars to donuts that Hulu had
to deal with North Carolina. And then they once they
realized how bad this is and how terrible North Carolina is,
they didn't pull the plug, but they said.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
Well, we need to have more editorial control.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
And Belichick and George Don Hudson, it's more likely than
not that they freaked out.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
They're like, well, they're gonna make us look bad. You know,
They're gonna make us look like country bumpkins here. We
don't want it.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
And so if Hulu, if I'm right, and they were
the ones that wanted to have more not maybe not
final edit, but close to it. They got to have
a little bit of what they want in the show.
And Belichick's like, no, unless I control the All twenty two,
I'm not doing it. And it's the classic running from
the grind. You got to run from the ground. That's
(43:53):
the opposite of what Bill Belichick. The ethos of Belichick.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
Is not the run from the grind. And this is
the brand new era of.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
Bill Belichick at Carolina. It's supposed to be the redemption
arc and the grumpy genius proving that he can win anywhere,
at any time with any one. Instead, it has become
a very sad, depressing docu series. Five games, three losses,
(44:21):
no future, just a mess, no lights, no camera, no makeup,
no action.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
Hey we got, I got? We got about that?
Speaker 2 (44:35):
To the third degree is one big f gets grilled.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
Gooblo.
Speaker 8 (44:42):
Indianapolis linebackers I are Franklin suggested this week that the
Colts loss to the Rams was a blessing in disguise.
Franklin explained, quote in a weird way. It was a
growth of confidence for us. Ben was the Rams game
a good loss for the Colts.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
So let me check my nose here, Coop, you smell
that bull crap? That is bull craft. No, they blew
the game. They had the game one, they blew the game.
If that's the case, nobody's had a better year than
the Jets. They're owing five, Come on next.
Speaker 8 (45:09):
Jaden Daniels return to the Commanders over the weekend led
the team to twenty seven straight points to come back
and win against the Chargers. Now at three and two,
do you think the Commanders are on the way back
to being contenders?
Speaker 3 (45:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (45:18):
In the end, nobody's established themselves as a truly dominant
team in the NFC. I was impressed, I think, and
the Chargers were all broken up and all that, but.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
Yeah, I thought the Commanders looked pretty good. So yeah,
they will be back in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Whether they go on a magic carpet ride, that's up
for debate. And then they got the Bears. That's a
winnable game up ahead. Cowboys after that. So there's a
couple of winnable games up ahead for the Commanders next.
Speaker 8 (45:40):
There's some college football analysts out there that believe that
the Texas Longhorn should bench arch Manning Ben.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
Do you ever see that happening?
Speaker 1 (45:48):
No. I think what they're gonna do is they're gonna
come up with some fugesi injury. They're two into the
whole Manning thing, and that is the royal family. It's
kind of like in the politics, the political world, you
don't mess with the Clintons. In football, you don't mess
with the Mannings, like like bad stuff will happen.
Speaker 3 (46:03):
You just can't. You can't bench charge Ray.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Now, if he got hurt somehow coop then you could say, Okay,
he got hurt. Yeah, he's poets, he suck. Holy how
many monologues do we do on Archman? Waste of time?
My god, he's terrible. Anyway, there it is malardly third degree?
How did we die? Win?
Speaker 3 (46:23):
I won James? I won hollowing James. That's a win
for me yet again?

Speaker 10 (47:03):
Yeah, no opening, I have I have no opening thoughts
this week I thought preparing.
Speaker 9 (47:10):
No, no No, it's not that there was no preparation.
Speaker 10 (47:13):
There's usually something dramatic of love that happens in the
week that inspires me to be like, hey, don't do
this in your relationship.
Speaker 9 (47:22):
You know, everything happened, everything's been really smooth.
Speaker 10 (47:25):
So I'm assuming most people's lives and relationships are pretty smooth.
Speaker 9 (47:28):
Right now, they're gonna tell me I'm wrong, So.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
Let's hear what they got, all right, Mike writes in
he says, should I judge my girlfriend who doesn't know
the difference between animal species like ardvark versus ant eater,
cat versus dog, alligator, crocodile.
Speaker 10 (47:42):
Well, you see, depending on where they live, they could
have different ideas, you know, like a bison is a
buffalo and then ardvark is an ant eater and you know,
I'm not going to say that last one, but uh,
a man could think he's a lepperkn too, and you
just got to deal with it.
Speaker 3 (48:03):
Interesting or kick him out?
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Interesting take third Dog writes and he says, is it
true that going to see a movie on a first
date is a horrible idea?
Speaker 9 (48:12):
Kind of.
Speaker 10 (48:14):
It's not bad if you go to dinner first or
go to a park or something. But the point of
going on a date is to get to know each
other and talk. And if you're watching a movie, you
don't really get that chance to div you can the
things you can fondle and kiss and you know, get
kicked out of a movie theater. But also, are you
(48:35):
a teenager? Do you really want to be that person?
Or do you have a house that.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
You can sa in the back of the upper back row?
Grow up a jade dot from Utah? Who's he's all
grown up? I've met him multiple times, good man in Utah.
He says, it's a little drink. Noah, No, he's he's
a lightweight.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
He says.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
How do I break the ice with a girl that
I work with that I have strong feelings for and
tell it than I love her?
Speaker 3 (49:01):
That's a big don't you have to like first dater before?
Speaker 10 (49:05):
It's kind of a dramatic, Well you know what they say,
ben that love at first sight thing. But also if
you've been working with her for a while, you could
know that you actually love her. When you work together,
you have an even closer relationship, right, I could. But
a great way to break the ice, I would say,
get like an ice pick.
Speaker 3 (49:24):
Maybe Yes, a Louisville slugger's always nice.
Speaker 10 (49:30):
Yeah, And you know, if you really want to smooth
the ice out, you can get her on one of
those things that they use on NHL court.
Speaker 9 (49:36):
So are those the bambinos? What are those things called?
You know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 3 (49:42):
Ben?
Speaker 9 (49:42):
What are.
Speaker 3 (49:46):
I'm just gonna move on. Let's say hello to we.
Speaker 1 (49:49):
I have a call for you, Blind Scott from the
North end of Boston.
Speaker 3 (49:53):
Hello, Blind Scott.
Speaker 11 (49:55):
Hi, everybody, It's October eighth. Great to talk to y'all.
I'm currentlyarticipating in October and it's you know, it's just
been like a stressful time and it's been a joy
at the same time. But my girlfriend lives in Oklahoma,
so you know, there's October. There's no nuts in November.
I'm thinking about mailing my keys to Oklahoma. But the
problem is if I don't have the keys for the Loctober,
(50:17):
then I can't unlock myself and I'll have to go
to the hospital. I'm just wondering if this is recommended
by the Queen of Hearts. I just wanted to see
what he'd said.
Speaker 9 (50:26):
I don't understand where the lock is.
Speaker 3 (50:29):
Charlie, you don't know.
Speaker 11 (50:31):
You know October, it's called October. It's highly covered in
the October community. You locked yourself in chat.
Speaker 1 (50:39):
I've never locked myself down for oct It's a real
downer for Halloween.
Speaker 11 (50:46):
What about no nuts in November? You don't know, no
nuts in November?
Speaker 9 (50:50):
Yeah, I have heard that. I don't know many men
who have accomplished said goal.
Speaker 3 (50:54):
Well, some have done it, but not by choice.
Speaker 9 (50:57):
There's no shave November, no shave November.
Speaker 3 (51:00):
Options, so they just can I go?
Speaker 2 (51:03):
You know?
Speaker 10 (51:03):
All right?
Speaker 9 (51:04):
Well, I think it sounds like a very dry time.
Speaker 3 (51:06):
Do you have a fake girlfriend in Oklahoma? I'm glad
that you bet.
Speaker 9 (51:09):
I bet she's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (51:10):
Yeah, lovely woman and plastic because you think Scott loves
people from Oklahoma? Clearly? All right? VP writes and says
shoulder massage or foot.
Speaker 9 (51:18):
Massage erry for me or someone else?
Speaker 3 (51:22):
That's just that. Bob asked the question.
Speaker 10 (51:24):
I think massage would be nice, but actually very ticklish
feet too, so that can go.
Speaker 1 (51:30):
What is your better style of vehicle for a good
makeout session? Conversion van or convertible?
Speaker 9 (51:35):
Oh, oh gosh, conversion van.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
Right, it's an easy one.
Speaker 9 (51:41):
The blow up mattress put it in the past.

I don't know why I'm gonna I'm gonna adjust the

little higher, and now I'll be able to do the show.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I don't like that low chair. I mean it was
too low. And he's it's you gotta have it just right.
You get you have to assign the chair properly, and
the chair was not assigned. Probably anyway. I lead this
hour is from the American League playoffs. There were no
nationally playoff games. We talked about that, but there were
none on Tuesday. As the party got started. We'll begin
(02:50):
in the Bronx the late game. Although these games, because
of the weather to lay in Detroit were simultaneous, most
of them.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
The game in Detroit between the Mariners and the Tigers
started about an hour before the game at Yankee State.
It was supposed to be much earlier, but three hours
almost three hours of rain delay. But American League Divisional
Series Game number three and the Aaron Judge hyperbole is
through the roof on this Aaron Judge hit a tying
home run, a game tying home run off the foul
(03:21):
poll at Yankee Stadium. There as the Yankees get four
runs batted in by Aaron Judge and stave off elimination.
The only time we use the word stave is in
sports to talk about somebody not being eliminate. They staved
off elimination. Yankees rallied from five runs down. That doesn't
(03:44):
happen very often, although sportscasters always pretend like it happens
all the time.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
It does not very rarely does that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Happen, and they did here, and so the Yankees end
up defeating the Blue Jays nine to six.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Is your final.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And it was actually Jazz Chisholm, who's not getting his
massage and his bubble bath from the medium, who hit
the go ahead home run here.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
He hit the go ahead home run in the fifth inning.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
But it's all about Aaron Judge toelicking by the National
Baseball Medium. They love them some, Aaron Judge. But it
was chising We with the go ahead home run there
in the fifth dings. So the Yankees taking advantage of
some shoddy play by the Blue Jays, they must have
had a good time. The story the other day was
Vladimir Guerrero was very braggadocious about how, oh, the Blue
(04:32):
Jays had an optional workout at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
The entire team showed up. That's team unity.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Did the entire team go out bar hopping after the workout?
My god, miscues, errors, terrifically terrible pitching, the whole thing.
The better story is in that losing locker.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Room, all God.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
So that is where we will begin. As we discussed
the question who gets the dish of blame poutine for
Vladi Guerrero Junior's Toronto squad as they get squished by
the Yankees in this game. So I've got the boat show,
the Bronx Diner, and pool noodles, and we will combine
(05:18):
all of these things together and we are going to
make an amazing chicken tendies, is what we're going to do.
So he the first rule of sports talk radio is
to not over complicate things, right, so we're not going
to overcome kick the situation. Toronto had a six to
(05:39):
one lead and a five run lead in an elimination game,
and they win the game. They're onto the American League
Championship Series. And somehow despite a five run lead. The
big advantage you have on the road is to play
with the lead, and you have the other team, the
home team with tight tuckasin tight took us syndrome, and
(06:03):
the Blue Jays could not even take advantage of that
because they did jump out to the fire run leave.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Vladdie did his joh Vladimir gerro J and you the
two run homer early on.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
He did his little macho man chest pounding thing when
he's a running around the base. Look at me, Look
at me. Look at how great I am. Lat's Vladimir Guerrero.
Crowd was buzzing there, it was. It was interesting, you
Yankee fans out here we go. It's a starting to
act like Mets fans. Here we go there.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
But anyway, that should have been an early body blow
that put Toronto in position to win. He did put
him in a position to win. They didn't win it.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Obviously, the Jays scored enough the office. You score six runs,
that is a big enough lead to win the game.
And does anyone disagree with that? No one disagrees with
Nobody disagrees. And then the pitching staff collectively grabbed the
keys somehow to the team bus. They peeled out of
the Yankee Stadium parking lot. There they wanted the causeway
(06:59):
and they drove straight into a ditch, which is hard
to find in the Bronx, but they found a ditch
and they just drove right there.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
There's sound of it.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And so the starter was somebody that Toronto picked up
at the trade deadline, Shane Bieber, the Beabs. So you're
given a five run lead, you're giving the baseball in
the bottom of the third inning, and what did Beabs
do he said, you know what, I'm the Duke of
Puke and I'm gonna ride the vomit comet. And there
(07:28):
he did, vomited all over the mound. It ends up
going just fifty four pitches. Now I realize he's had injuries.
And they talked about that in the Fox broadcast and
all they but fifty four pitches.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
And then they had to wave him out of the game.
Get your fat ass out of the game. Get out
of here. Now.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
That is not pitching. Okay, that is not pitching. That
is the Gong show is.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
What that was.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
For the Toronto Blue Jays would have been better off.
The Blue Jays would have been better off had they
gotten Justin Bieber all the mound, who does not have
an athletic bone in his body. But they put him
on the mound and he can start crooning on the mount.
He could serenade sarenade the hitters there with baby baby,
you know, and just do that over and over again.
(08:15):
And the Yankee hitters would have been so annoyed by
that baby baby baby know that they would have struggled
to hit the ball. So they went to the bullpen
and how did that go that? Well, that was a
trip the Blue Jay bullpen. They went down to the
boat show. They went down to the boat show, and
all the relievers they grabbed their life jackets from the
(08:36):
Blue j bullpen. In fact, it's very odd when you
go out of the bullpen and you go onto the
field to give you a life jacket.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So they all had their life jackets. And there they were.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
They were motoring towards Misery Island and they took the ferry.
Now not the Staten Island ferry. They took the Suck Faery,
which is that's a different ferry, but it goes over
to Jersey Suck Ferry. That's what they took right there.
Very impressive, eight unanswer runs given up by the Toronto
pitching staff as they kicked the ball around. It was
(09:05):
like they were auditioning for Toronto FC, the MLS squad there.
Why not everyone outside of Vladimir Guerrero Junior gets a
spoonful of shame, A spoonful of shame. Now, John Schneider
is the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, and here
he is talking about the fact that apparently you just
(09:28):
have to flush this down the toilet.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
We'll hear the question of the answer.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
To list, John, You've talked a lot about this season
about your team's ability to turn the page. Can describe
a little bit resetting after this one, given that you
had a spot in the Alcs in your hands and
now there's a game four.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yeah, I mean we had a spot in the Alcs
in our hands when the series started, you know what
I mean. I know it's six to one in the
third inning, but we still have a spot like that tomorrow,
you know what I mean. So these guys will be
ready to go. You know, it's it's it's really comforting
for me to see them do that all year. I
know they're going to do it again tomorrow, and you
(10:06):
have to kind of take out the outside noise that
comes to plane here and all that kind of stuff.
So I got all the confidence in the world. And
these guys showing up tomorrow ready to go and just
doing their normal day and competing their asses off.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
So why were they not ready for this game? Again?
No accountability? Why not just go we sucked?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Why can't you say, hey, I'm the major of the
Toronto Blue.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Jays and we blow in that game? Why ca'se it? Oh? No,
you Okny?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I hate this this is the part of this crab
I hate. It's like every night I give it. Very
rarely do you get somebody's like, yeah, we sucked. Like
everyone say you suck, you sucked.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Just say it.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I sucked.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Say it, I sucked. I'm the Blue Jay. They were terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You had a five run lead, you blew it and
you throw that crap out. That's modern leadership, that's modern coaching.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's a bad call.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It's a bad call by me.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Meanwhile, another thing that annoyed me. I'm just gonna say
it's my therapy. I don't even care if you listen.
I'm just gonna complain about stuff that bothers me. So
I'm watching the game and Joe Davis, thank god, he's
not doing the Dodger games right now. Not a big fan,
so Joe Davis. He actually said on Fox Joe Davis.
He claimed very dramatically that Aaron Judge's playoff moment happened
(11:29):
when he hit a three run tying home run for
the Yankees. He said it on the broadcast, and it
was like this great poetic call by the announcer there that.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Aaron Judge hurt his moment. There's his moment.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, let's play. Here's we have the audio. I think
this is the audio, so let's go to it. This
is the thing that that triggered me. I actually moved
around a little bit on my sofa. Listen to strike pitch.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
It's a IF Experiences moment.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I actually puked in my mouth when I heard that,
and I literally puked in my mouth.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
My god.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
All right, I'll ask the question, does this qualify as
Aaron Judge the captain of the Yankees moment.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
In the playoffs? All right?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So for those of you who relate to the party, welcome.
So this is a three run home run in the
fourth inning of the Divisional Series Game three? Is the
bar that low now for the New York Yankees? Is
that where we have reached? This is a new low
for the New York Yankees. That Babe Ruth is rolling
(12:54):
over in his grave, and Lou Garrick is shaking his
head deep in the ground somewhere, and Jolton Joe Dimagio
cannot believe that this is the Yankees, this is the
modern Yankees. That Aaron Judge had his moment in the
Divisional round Game three tying home run. So I guess
(13:18):
we're grading on a curve now? Is that what we're
doing now with the Yankees? Is that how we're doing it.
If you're wearing pinstripes, you get graded on a curve.
That's Good's that's solid. It's like these guys are acting
like he had a walk off home run in Game
seven of the World Series. I was like, calm down,
just calm down a little bit. Don't force it. You
do not need to force it. There's a very good
(13:41):
chance the Yankees still lose this series. So what do
you say?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Then?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Let me just forget about it. Aaron Judge has been
awesome in the regular season, not always so good in
the postseason. Right, the dude's been more instead of Aaron
Judges been Aaron jury duty in the in the playoffs,
and often watching Aaron Judge in the playoffs compared to
(14:05):
the regular season is often a long, boring experience and
you just can't seem to get out of it. He
can't get out of it either. And see again, this
is the kind of stuff that drives me bonkers. I'm
probably the only one I admit it. Other people don't
seem to care because this has been going on for years.
But for me, it bothers me. You don't need to
romanticize everything. Not everything is a romantic Hallmark movie. You
(14:28):
don't need to do it. Okay, it's okay. It's like
going down to the Bronx Diner watching the coverage of
Aaron Judge. You go down to the Bronx Diner and
the menu had a main course of hyperbole and the
side dish was exaggeration. That was the Aaron Judge meo.
There the broadcasters who fall in love with the story,
(14:49):
it's all about the story. Before the story's been written.
They've already put the story out there like that. That's
the they want that Back in the day, it's called
the Reggie mal where I've been waiting, waiting for years
to crown Aaron Judge and the.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Big Mammoth home run Judge hits. Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
It's like, it's not some kind of cinematic breakthrough for
Aaron Judge.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Unfortunately, Aaron Judge's moment and this is the reality. I'll
be the grown up in the room here. So Aaron
Judge's momentt in playoff baseball. His moment happened in the
twenty twenty four World Series when the announcer said, oh
my god, Aaron Judge muffed it. He muffed the fly
(15:37):
ball in center field during Game five. My favorite inning
in Yankee Baseball history, by the way, Game five, the
fifth inning of Game five of the twenty twenty four
World Series, when he.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Literally dropped the ball. Not my opinion, he literally dropped
the ball. He dropped it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
The Yankees doway five run lead to the Dodgers, and
that is the clip that is going to live forever.
Not a home run in Yankee Stadium in Game three
of the Divisional round of the playoffs against the Toronto
Blue Jays. Judge also batted two twenty two in the
World Series last year. That's not very helpful to the
(16:15):
Aaron Judge marching in shout of society. Not exactly the
stuff of legends. So you want a malment, right, You're
all about the molment right there. You know, Reggie Jackson
had three dingers in one night against the Dodgers, and
that was the Reggie Malmon.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Right.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
People talk about that because Misster October.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Because of that night and until Aaron Judge, and this
is gonna be a bold take. Nobody else has this
take until Aaron Judge gets it done. I gotta get
her done in the World Series. And then at the
end of the World Series and the last team standing
is the New York Yankees. Until that happens, then the moment,
no matter how many times Joe Davis says.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
That's the moment, it doesn't know, and Joe.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Can stop sending the heart emojis about Aaron Judges just stuff.
We'll you know when Aaron Judge is the last man
standing and is the reason the super nova the Yankees
win in October. Now, I assume you play with the
Yankees long enough, you're going to win. Yeah, how hard
it is to play with the Yankees for ten years
and not win a World Series. Mathematically, it's very rarely
(17:17):
happened in the history of the Yankees. So at some
point they're going to win. Not this year they're gonna win,
but at some point they're going to win. Right now, now,
last words, we go to Motown and a game that
was supposed to be an Island game but turned out
to be just another random game that a few people watched.
It was on FS two Fox Sports two FS one
(17:37):
had the well the first hour of the Marinder Tiger
game was on the regular FS one channel, and then
they bumped it because the Yankees have more fans than
the Mariners and the Tigers. We'll go to Motown where
the Mariners are on the brink. They're on the Robbie
the Mariner fan, cannot sleep. He's up all night crying. Craig,
JJ and Renton, they're all excited, right, They can't believe it.
(18:03):
Even Nostradinas, his cynical ass, is excited about this. So
the Mariners could get back to the America League Championship Series.
They're this close.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Cal Rally, the Big Dumper hit a home run.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
There, two run shot, and Eugenio Suarez hit a home run,
picked him up at the trade deadline from the d Backs,
and JP Crawford sent one into the bleachers as well.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
There sold those shots for those guys.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
As Seattle doubled up the Tigers in a game the
final scorer is eight to four. Was not that close,
and so Seattle now two to one best of five lead.
There one went away from advancing. Game was delayed almost
three hours because God was crying for some reason.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
The Mariners are within a win of their first alcs.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Since twenty oh one.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I was a child in twenty oh one, my god,
barely alive, and here we are, all right. So the
first chance will come later on in afternoon game here
on Wednesday at Coomerica Park. If they screw that one up,
they'll go back Friday to Seattle with another opportunity. But
the better story is on the loser's side, So quickly,
what is wrong with the Motors City Kitties. I thought
(19:16):
they'd fix their problems that beat the Cleveland Guardians and
the wild card rounds.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
So they'd fix things. Fix it.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well, the first thing is rather obvious watching the Tigers.
It's like every other suck bag team, and the Tigers
weren't like this for the first couple months of the
baseball season, but they clearly have defective bats. It looked
like they were swinging pull noodles out there, like you
know in the summertime in the pool, you got those
little thin pool noodles and all that, and the Tiger
(19:43):
lineup yet again, that check engine light popping up for
the Tigers line up there flashing pretty much every get
bad when you do the math on this. Now, the
big thumpers if you want to call that Riley Green
and Spencer Torkelsen. What a great name, Spencer Torklsen.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
My god.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Anyway, those two guys are supposed to be the big cats,
the big kitty cats for the Detroit Tigers, and kind
of house kittens, you know, look house kittens at this point, hello.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Kitty, Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Between them, they have hit the ball about as hard
as a really good soft serve machine, that delicious soft
serve ice cream. Yeah, like that kind of classic Detroit misery.
We can go through the whole thing here. You know
the scene, right, grace, guys over Detroit, you know, rusted
out factories, sad parade down Woodward Avenue, and that's Detroit sports, right.
(20:39):
The Tigers, the Comerica part. Now, this is the home
game for them. They won a game in Seattle, so
here's a home game, and of course it turns into
a haunted house yet again. Sixty eight strikeouts in six
playoff games for the Detroit Tigers. Sixty eight strikeouts in
six playoff game. That's not baseball. That is a job
(21:00):
fare for with machines is when you get a whiff,
you get a with the Mariners are not exactly the
one Mariners or the twenty seven Yankees. They're not this
guy Logan Gilbert, who's a good pitcher, a good pitcher, however,
Detroit made him look like Pedro Martinez for stretches in
his prime. There, they've scored six runs in sixty twenty eight,
(21:24):
six runs in twenty eight innings. So now they did
score some garbage time runs. They were down seven runs
and then not an offense. That's more of an Amber
alert for the Detroit Tigers here. And they appear to
be allergic to getting big hits to drive in runs,
and they just kind of break out in hives. It's
a problem. You might want to go to a doctor.
There's some cream you can get. You can rub all
over yourself there, good luck. Maybe they should use those
(21:47):
whiffle bats from Little Caesars used to giveaway whiffle bats.
They can use those because the bats they're using right
now are not exactly working. And now the Tigers their
season on the line. They turned to Casey Mizo. Casey
must because of you know, can't go above and beyond
the call of duty. Right back in the old days,
you say, all right, this is an elimination game. Trek
(22:08):
Scooble is going to be on the mound, but you,
oh no, you can't pitch him on short rest. They
will literally have to amputate his arm. So instead is
a good chance that the next time we see Schooble
pitch will be in the Grapefruit League next year.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
As if the Tigers.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Do not win this game, it's really like it kind
of is must win, right for the Mariors, I gotta
win this game because he got Schooble in Game five,
And for the Tigers, it's like, well, if they win,
it's must win because they otherwise they're done.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
So it's really a must win today.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
But the Tiger's not going to go with Schooble unless
a last minute change happens.

Lead this hour from Sinsinady a follow up follow up.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
To a previous mal monologue.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
A few days back, we ranted and raved about the
fact that the Cincinnati ben Gals head coach Jack Taylor
had announced he had unwavering support for Jake Browning unwavering
support for his starting quarterback. I went back, I checked
(25:33):
my notes because I thought, well, did he do that?
I tell you, yeah, that was six days ago, so
we now know unwavering support last six days.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
That's it. Because if you have not heard, the Bengals
have made a chance. Hold on, I call them by
their wrong.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Name, the Ben Gals, or if you like better, the
bung Gals.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Well, they made a change at quarterback. If you have
not heard, I don't know where you've been.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Cincinnati has gone out and traded for a Super Bowl hero.
They have made their move, Joe Flacco. You gotta find
the idiot in the room. That would be the Bengals.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I'm not making that. You think I'm lying, I'm not
making this up. I am not.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Cincinnati has acquired Joe Flacco in the very rare Ohio,
Ohio trade. Dick and Dayton's heads exploded right now.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I can't believe it better. I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Anyway, So Joe Flacco traded within the division. If you
don't listen to the whole show, Dick and Dayton usually
calls the last hour. He's our Ohio sports expert. So
there is Cincinnati acquiring Joe Flacco a trade with the
Cleveland football team. The Ben Goals also received a sixth.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Round draft pick. The Browns landed a fifth round pick.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
It was like a trade, a swap of picks and
moving parts and all that. But anyway, let us discuss
the question who cares about traffics. Traffics are the losers.
So how do you dissect the rotting carcass of Joe
Flacco being repackaged to cross the state of Ohio little
in state commerce as he goes from the Browns to
(27:21):
the Bengals. So on this one, I've got out Fox
game show rerun and medical lab and we will combine
all of these things together and we are gonna make
your Babushka's favorite cheese doodles, because every Babushka loves good
cheese doodles. So number you jumped the gun number all right?
(27:50):
So my first thought on this the Bengals making the trade.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
This is unbelieved. This is crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
So uh, this is the dick the Dictionary definition of
to make a trade. Just to make a trade, you
make a change, just to make it change. Right, It's
a lateral move right into the landfill. You are already
heading towards the landfill, and you've now made the move
a little faster. You've put a little pedal to the metal.
(28:18):
There trash out garbage in. Trash out garbage in right there.
So the Cincinnati Front Office, I love this. So in
the cartoon bubble in mind, I want to see if
you agree with me on this.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
So in the.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Cartoon bubble in my head, the Bengals front office and
coaching staff they're like, well, publicly, we have unwavering support
for Jake Browning. Privately they were essentially cold calling other
NFL front offices like a telemarketer at dinner time and saying, hey, Hi,
(28:53):
this is Joe Blow from the Cleveland Browns. Do you
have any washed up quarterbacks that are lying around collecting
dust that we can have? And so they called every
team and then that like, the last one they called
was the Cleveland Browns, and Cleveland was trying not to laugh.
The front office there this shiit sure we got a guy.
(29:13):
We got a guy for you, no problem. And so
I'm pretty sure you're not getting the twenty thirteen version
from Baltimore. Joe Flacco has been living off that one
magic carpet ride for over a decade. How long does
this last? What is the statue of limitations on a
Super Bowl run? Well, for Joe Flacco, he's going on
(29:34):
twelve years, twelve years, and the last great moment he
had was twelve years ago. It's what and Flacco continues
and this is a solid move This is the same
move that criminals make. They move locations rapidly to out
fox the authorities. You got to be one step ahead
(29:56):
of the law, is what they say. So since twenty
eighteen se in years, Joe Flacco has now played for
six different teams. He has started forty one games. He's
fourteen and twenty seven, which I didn't play in the NFL.
I'm told that's not good. Fifty nine touchdowns, thirty eight
interceptions in a gaggle of fumbles, and he's officially hit
(30:19):
the AFC North punch card. He's got three of the
four teams in the division. The only one he's missing
is the Pittsburgh Steelers. So good luck to Sean the
Hood Guy and the other Steeler fans because Joe Flacco
will be playing for you. It's inevitable next season. So
that the Browns somehow come out of this ahead. They
were able to put Joe Flacco on offer up with
(30:43):
a free come by pick it up yourself tag, and
then somebody said, well, we'll pay you something for that,
and said, well, we don't want anything, We're gonna give
it away. Why no, I want to give you something, Well,
we don't want anything. Well, fine, okay, I'll take it. Fine,
go ahead. And so they flipped him for a pick,
swap a fifth for a sixth, and so they get
(31:04):
to upgrade the draft board and all that stuff. Meanwhile,
the Bengals, the Bungals there in Cincinnati, they just bought
a sedan off the interweb that has three hundred thousand
miles on it and a bad transmission.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That is what they got.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
And of course the social media world, the bots, what's up?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Bots?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
The bots are all excited, they're all horny because, oh,
does this mean Shirdar Sanders is now going to be
a heart beat away or a broken ankle away from
starting for Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
I don't know about that. Maybe not, maybe not.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
But the story in Cincinnati is capital h humiliation. You
have your head coach a week ago announce you have
unwavering support, unwavering support for your quarterback, Jake Browning, and
Jake Browning has been so bad he does deserve to
lose his job. But when you come out over the
(31:59):
time story, we don't believe co is. We just mock
coaches and low information fans. The dumb dumbs. They believe
everything right, They believe everything they hear from these.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
School Why would he lie? I don't understand. Shut up anyway.
So back to the story.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
So Jake Browning deserved to get demoted, He got the
mot he deserves a wedgie someone he's so bad, he's
a weg. But when you say unwavering support and then
a week later you've traded for somebody else who also
sucks Jake Browning, the media of the Malar math on this.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
He had eight.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Interceptions in four games, and he has been replaced by
a boomer in Joe Flacco, who's also cooked. Joe Flacco
absolutely cooked. There, I absolutely cooked, And you can have
all the veteran presence you'll want the adult in the room.
But this is just again, as we said, change for
(32:53):
chain's sake for the Cincinnati Bengals. Here the malor report card,
the report card record. The Bengals get a D, they
get the date. Congratulations there, Joe Flacco has a few
less maggots than Jake Browning on his body, so congratulations,
there's less vermin on on Flacco.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
He's by no means good. I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I couldn't give him an F because Jake Browning is
an F quarterback and Flacco's a D. So you upgraded
from an F to a D. You still have to
go to summer school, so I'm sorry about that. Now
the Browns get a C. You can't get too excited
about a draft pick because only I can't see what
I want to do. But this is people that I'm
(33:39):
not big fans.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Of Schrendrick's dingle Berry's love the draft.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
They get so excited for it. It's not a football trade.
It's more of a pity swap by the Browns, like,
oh man, you're part of the cartel Cincinnati, and you're
embarrassing all of us.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
We got to get you somebody else here to take
our trash. Here you go, all right now, page too.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Speaking of trash, Oh Dell Beckham and your oh be
Jay remember him former NFL player Odell Beckham.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Well, he is facing a trip.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
To the natty list because he dabbled in the needle.
Little poke poke strong strong, Uh yeah, pds six game suspension.
He was a non factor with the Miami Dolphins. Might
remember last season. However, he still is holding out hope.
(34:27):
Granted it's a faint hope, but Odell Beckham that he
will play for a contender not just in the NFL,
mind you, not just in the NFL, but for a
contender at some point this season. So he's getting that
good ayahuasca.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
It clearly is.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
In fact, he specifically mentioned the Steelers, MS and cans
Uh City as possibilities during an appearance on a Fledgling
Jock podcast.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
There are so many, they're all the same.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
He said, quote Beckham, you can say whatever you want
about me.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Well, that's right. I'm a talk shows That's what I do.
I just like to say what I want. Quote continues, He.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Said, I stand firm in knowing who I am today.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Okay, good.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
He said, I ain't never cheated anybody but myself. Okay, well,
I kind of cheated the other people that are trying
to make rosters. If I guess he did this with
the Dolphins. He was mentioned doing steroids and still sucking.
If I read that right, that's like, that's kind of embarrassing, right,
It's like I did all this and it's like a
baseball player rubbing the clear and the cream on and
(35:41):
you know, putting a needle in your ass, and then
you hit seven home runs.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
You're like, well, what's that about. I don't understand well,
I guess you didn't.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Do it right, dummy, So good anyway, So again Beckham.
The point of this is Beckham's like, hey, I'm gonna
come back and play.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I didn't cheat anybody.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
I am.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
We keep doing what I'm doing it. You can say
whatever you want blah blah blah bla blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
And he mentioned the Steelers, Rams and the Chiefs. So
let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. What
is it going to take for Odell Beckham to return
to the NFL. So we're talking about a guy who,
again it's all because of the hyperbole of New York,
(36:22):
had a catch on a Sunday night game. If I
remember correctly, the Giants lost to the Cowboys. It was
a highlight catch al Michaels had to call there on
a Sunday night game. And here we are, and now
he can't even get a tryout with an NFL team,
Like he's going on podcasts trying to drum up interest,
(36:43):
like a politician trying to see where where the wind
is blowing. Here, it's it's kind of like watching at
this point, what Beckham needs. It's he needs to watch
a game show rerun of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
The only scenario I see Odell Beckham getting back, and
we all agree he can't play a him he's done
doesn't mean he can't get a job. It just means
he can't play. He's thirty two, but he's like an
(37:04):
old thirty two. So Beckham, he's gotta go Who Wants
to be a Millionaire? And remember one of the lifelines
they had.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Phone a friend, Phone a friend.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
And as I've gotten older in life, I've realized that
you can have all the academia you want, you have
all the education you want, but it doesn't really matter.
It's who you know, not what you know. It's who
you know that's what matters. More so, it's like, hey,
he knows Sean McVay, Hey, ring Ring, Hey Sean. I
know I normally text, but I decided to call you.
My name's Odell Beckham. You got a roster spot for me?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (37:35):
And he calls Aaron Rodgers, Hey remember that party we
went to back in the day in Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Yeah, the Ayahuascar was really good.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Yeah yeah, it's a obj Yeah yeah, So you know,
I'd like to like to get a job, and then
Roger will be like, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna burn some sage for you. I'm gonna I'm
gonna burn some sage. I'll manifest destiny this and I'm
gonna make it happen. And I'll also take you to
a darkness retreat.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
So Beckham's whole career at this point in time is
one big It's not what you know, it's who you know.
That's what it is. That's everything's hinging on that He's
you got tape. He's washed up from the tape. Two acls,
I believe. I think two, three cities one Kardashian. I
think it might be more than three cities. Right was
(38:21):
in the Giants, Cleveland, the Rams, Baltimore in Miami.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
So four cities, Yeah, I might be missing one. I
go with four. I'm gonna go with four. So there.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
But he's still got the roll the deck. So he's
still got that nice phone book on his iPhone. There
and see if McVeigh loves him, and Matthew Stafford trusts him,
and some of the Rams receivers get hurt Andy Reid's
wide receiver room depressing. It looks like a clear and
style at a dollar tree. Not a lot going on there.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
And so so you're saying there's a chance.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
But the problem you get on the phone with those
people and they're like, all right, you know, I remember
Odell Beckham, back the man.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
But you're selling the name. You're selling Nostalgia's what you're
selling there. You're selling the.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Good vibrations from days gone by, not what's going on
right now. You have no separation speed that does not exist.
And if he gets back in Odell Beckham, it will
be on a.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Wing and a prayer on a wing.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
He might want to go to the Saints because they're
big in praying, So go to the Saints. The Angels
don't play in the NFL, so I'm told so. OBJ
wearing those rose colored spectacles, the Gucci rose colored spectacles,
hoping that he can make some bad highlights, or at
least stand on the bench and pretend like he's playing.
Get to wear the uniform, do some cosplay and all that.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
All right. Final point to the Land of Belichick. Follow up,
follow up follow.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Up docuseries Gone Bad, Docuseries Gone bad. A behind the
scenes look at Bill Belichick's North Carolina Tar Hill football
program has been.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Killed.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
The kabash Not Gonna Happen will not be coming to
a small screen streaming service near you. We've learned that
Who Lou, which somehow is still in business Hulu. The
series planned all around Bill Belichick and his floozy girlfriend
his first year at Chapel Hill will no longer be happy.
(40:24):
Not gonna happen there. This comes just a couple days
after the tar Hills got publicly flogged by Clemson on
their home turf thirty eight to ten.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Yikes, that ain't good.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
So question why did Bill Belichick end up getting cold
feet and North Carolina not going forward with the docu series.
Was it Belichick that put the kill switch on it?
Or was it Hulu that put the kill switch on it?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
So.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
The obvious answer to this, if North Carolina was four
and one right now and they were the toast of
college football, then they would be choreographing and Belichick himself
would be choreographing drone shots of Belichick walking around practice,
and he'd be jogging in a gray cutoff North Carolina
(41:18):
hoodie with the powder blue North Carolina Tar.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Hill logo there, and it would be b roll.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
They would show in the opening scene of the first episode,
back to work for the old chriz Old coach, and
he'd be walking around had the whistle whistle, whistle whistle.
He'd have all that, but for Belichick bailing the Belichickian
haters out there like, oh, this is crazy. Belichick likely
(41:45):
thinks this is some kind of pr move, like if
you could be a little bitty fly.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
On the wall in the North Carolina facility. He thinks, well,
here's what I'll do.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
I know this move here, so we'll just scrub clean
the bad video from the games and the practices like
it's a medical lab. No one will be able to
get any DNA any of this, and it's kind of
like burning the tape before the tape gets sent to
the front office. Of course, this reality is much different
(42:18):
here in North Carolina, because you get the seventy three
year old Belichick, the twenty four.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
Year old influencer.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
You lost to Clemson, got smoked, You lost the opener
to TCU, got smoked, a UCF got roasted, and so
they pull the plug on Hulu now I have no
insider information, but just using the brain that I was
given and just chopping by the law of probabilities, I think,
(42:48):
but most likely happened here like Belichick's not playing chess,
He's not you know, he's not playing even more like
hungry hungry hippos, you know, is what he's doing here.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
But here, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
You want to bet dollars to donuts that Hulu had
to deal with North Carolina. And then they once they
realized how bad this is and how terrible North Carolina is,
they didn't pull the plug, but they said.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
Well, we need to have more editorial control.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
And Belichick and George Don Hudson, it's more likely than
not that they freaked out.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
They're like, well, they're gonna make us look bad. You know,
They're gonna make us look like country bumpkins here. We
don't want it.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
And so if Hulu, if I'm right, and they were
the ones that wanted to have more not maybe not
final edit, but close to it. They got to have
a little bit of what they want in the show.
And Belichick's like, no, unless I control the All twenty two,
I'm not doing it. And it's the classic running from
the grind. You got to run from the ground. That's
(43:53):
the opposite of what Bill Belichick. The ethos of Belichick.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
Is not the run from the grind. And this is
the brand new era of.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
Bill Belichick at Carolina. It's supposed to be the redemption
arc and the grumpy genius proving that he can win anywhere,
at any time with any one. Instead, it has become
a very sad, depressing docu series. Five games, three losses,
(44:21):
no future, just a mess, no lights, no camera, no makeup,
no action.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
Hey we got, I got? We got about that?
Speaker 2 (44:35):
To the third degree is one big f gets grilled.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
Gooblo.
Speaker 8 (44:42):
Indianapolis linebackers I are Franklin suggested this week that the
Colts loss to the Rams was a blessing in disguise.
Franklin explained, quote in a weird way. It was a
growth of confidence for us. Ben was the Rams game
a good loss for the Colts.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
So let me check my nose here, Coop, you smell
that bull crap? That is bull craft. No, they blew
the game. They had the game one, they blew the game.
If that's the case, nobody's had a better year than
the Jets. They're owing five, Come on next.
Speaker 8 (45:09):
Jaden Daniels return to the Commanders over the weekend led
the team to twenty seven straight points to come back
and win against the Chargers. Now at three and two,
do you think the Commanders are on the way back
to being contenders?
Speaker 3 (45:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (45:18):
In the end, nobody's established themselves as a truly dominant
team in the NFC. I was impressed, I think, and
the Chargers were all broken up and all that, but.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
Yeah, I thought the Commanders looked pretty good. So yeah,
they will be back in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Whether they go on a magic carpet ride, that's up
for debate. And then they got the Bears. That's a
winnable game up ahead. Cowboys after that. So there's a
couple of winnable games up ahead for the Commanders next.
Speaker 8 (45:40):
There's some college football analysts out there that believe that
the Texas Longhorn should bench arch Manning Ben.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
Do you ever see that happening?
Speaker 1 (45:48):
No. I think what they're gonna do is they're gonna
come up with some fugesi injury. They're two into the
whole Manning thing, and that is the royal family. It's
kind of like in the politics, the political world, you
don't mess with the Clintons. In football, you don't mess
with the Mannings, like like bad stuff will happen.
Speaker 3 (46:03):
You just can't. You can't bench charge Ray.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Now, if he got hurt somehow coop then you could say, Okay,
he got hurt. Yeah, he's poets, he suck. Holy how
many monologues do we do on Archman? Waste of time?
My god, he's terrible. Anyway, there it is malardly third degree?
How did we die? Win?
Speaker 3 (46:23):
I won James? I won hollowing James. That's a win
for me yet again?
Speaker 8 (46:29):

Speaker 3 (46:54):
Dear ry.
Speaker 9 (46:57):
You heard the man. It is time for love on
the Ben Malae Show.
Speaker 10 (47:03):
Yeah, no opening, I have I have no opening thoughts
this week I thought preparing.
Speaker 9 (47:10):
No, no No, it's not that there was no preparation.
Speaker 10 (47:13):
There's usually something dramatic of love that happens in the
week that inspires me to be like, hey, don't do
this in your relationship.
Speaker 9 (47:22):
You know, everything happened, everything's been really smooth.
Speaker 10 (47:25):
So I'm assuming most people's lives and relationships are pretty smooth.
Speaker 9 (47:28):
Right now, they're gonna tell me I'm wrong, So.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
Let's hear what they got, all right, Mike writes in
he says, should I judge my girlfriend who doesn't know
the difference between animal species like ardvark versus ant eater,
cat versus dog, alligator, crocodile.
Speaker 10 (47:42):
Well, you see, depending on where they live, they could
have different ideas, you know, like a bison is a
buffalo and then ardvark is an ant eater and you know,
I'm not going to say that last one, but uh,
a man could think he's a lepperkn too, and you
just got to deal with it.
Speaker 3 (48:03):
Interesting or kick him out?
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Interesting take third Dog writes and he says, is it
true that going to see a movie on a first
date is a horrible idea?
Speaker 9 (48:12):
Kind of.
Speaker 10 (48:14):
It's not bad if you go to dinner first or
go to a park or something. But the point of
going on a date is to get to know each
other and talk. And if you're watching a movie, you
don't really get that chance to div you can the
things you can fondle and kiss and you know, get
kicked out of a movie theater. But also, are you
(48:35):
a teenager? Do you really want to be that person?
Or do you have a house that.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
You can sa in the back of the upper back row?
Grow up a jade dot from Utah? Who's he's all
grown up? I've met him multiple times, good man in Utah.
He says, it's a little drink. Noah, No, he's he's
a lightweight.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
He says.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
How do I break the ice with a girl that
I work with that I have strong feelings for and
tell it than I love her?
Speaker 3 (49:01):
That's a big don't you have to like first dater before?
Speaker 10 (49:05):
It's kind of a dramatic, Well you know what they say,
ben that love at first sight thing. But also if
you've been working with her for a while, you could
know that you actually love her. When you work together,
you have an even closer relationship, right, I could. But
a great way to break the ice, I would say,
get like an ice pick.
Speaker 3 (49:24):
Maybe Yes, a Louisville slugger's always nice.
Speaker 10 (49:30):
Yeah, And you know, if you really want to smooth
the ice out, you can get her on one of
those things that they use on NHL court.
Speaker 9 (49:36):
So are those the bambinos? What are those things called?
You know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 3 (49:42):
Ben?
Speaker 9 (49:42):

Speaker 3 (49:46):
I'm just gonna move on. Let's say hello to we.
Speaker 1 (49:49):
I have a call for you, Blind Scott from the
North end of Boston.
Speaker 3 (49:53):
Hello, Blind Scott.
Speaker 11 (49:55):
Hi, everybody, It's October eighth. Great to talk to y'all.
I'm currentlyarticipating in October and it's you know, it's just
been like a stressful time and it's been a joy
at the same time. But my girlfriend lives in Oklahoma,
so you know, there's October. There's no nuts in November.
I'm thinking about mailing my keys to Oklahoma. But the
problem is if I don't have the keys for the Loctober,
(50:17):
then I can't unlock myself and I'll have to go
to the hospital. I'm just wondering if this is recommended
by the Queen of Hearts. I just wanted to see
what he'd said.
Speaker 9 (50:26):
I don't understand where the lock is.
Speaker 3 (50:29):
Charlie, you don't know.
Speaker 11 (50:31):
You know October, it's called October. It's highly covered in
the October community. You locked yourself in chat.
Speaker 1 (50:39):
I've never locked myself down for oct It's a real
downer for Halloween.
Speaker 11 (50:46):
What about no nuts in November? You don't know, no
nuts in November?
Speaker 9 (50:50):
Yeah, I have heard that. I don't know many men
who have accomplished said goal.
Speaker 3 (50:54):
Well, some have done it, but not by choice.
Speaker 9 (50:57):
There's no shave November, no shave November.
Speaker 3 (51:00):
Options, so they just can I go?
Speaker 2 (51:03):
You know?
Speaker 10 (51:03):
All right?
Speaker 9 (51:04):
Well, I think it sounds like a very dry time.
Speaker 3 (51:06):
Do you have a fake girlfriend in Oklahoma? I'm glad
that you bet.
Speaker 9 (51:09):
I bet she's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (51:10):
Yeah, lovely woman and plastic because you think Scott loves
people from Oklahoma? Clearly? All right? VP writes and says
shoulder massage or foot.
Speaker 9 (51:18):
Massage erry for me or someone else?
Speaker 3 (51:22):
That's just that. Bob asked the question.
Speaker 10 (51:24):
I think massage would be nice, but actually very ticklish
feet too, so that can go.
Speaker 1 (51:30):
What is your better style of vehicle for a good
makeout session? Conversion van or convertible?
Speaker 9 (51:35):
Oh, oh gosh, conversion van.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
Right, it's an easy one.
Speaker 9 (51:41):
The blow up mattress put it in the past.
