Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. It's our numbber four.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hour number four is at your ear drums and your
audio door and the Ben Malors Show. So before I
get into this, I want to remind you that Benny
Versus a Penny, there's two episodes a week to come
out and want to give you today. It's a brief
episode ticket a couple of minutes to watch, and that's
the preview of the Thursday night NFL game Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.

(00:26):
Give you my pick against the spread that's on Benny
Vspenny on YouTube and also the Ben Maler Show YouTube
channel to get all of these Mallard monologues. If you
want to see what an ugly guy looks like as
he's doing a Mallard monologue, that's on Ben Maler's show
on the YouTube channel. You want Benny Versus the Penny
that's on at Benny Vspenny.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
But here a hour four.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
How does this picture look for Derek Carr turning down
the Bengals. We now know why why he turned down
an offer to play for Cincinnati before they traded for
Joe Flacco. Give me your reaction to cam Ward giving
himself an F grade with the Tennessee Titans. And what
is your position on chatter that the Cleveland Guardians closer

(01:11):
Emmanuel class A will be permanently banned from Major League
Baseball for gambling. Eh, talk about that as well. All
of it's coming your way right now. Here it is
our number four. Have a wonderful October fifteenth. Here it is, well,
it turns out that card does not drive.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Welcome. In the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahlor Show, we are in.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
The air everywhere, partners in crime Audio Crime, as we
all attempt to dance to the same beat.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Coast to coast, border the border in beyond, on the
vast and verbally powerful microphones of FSR monating live from
the drive as we go into overdrive from the world
famous Fox Sports Radio studios, approved by Hoosier Bill, who

(02:13):
randomly stays up all night drinking copious amounts of alcohol
and listens to this show. And then we'll especially carpet
bomb my timeline. So it's nothing but him.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Our lead this hour.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Not from baseball, where the Doyers have a two to
nothing lead both the road teams. How about that road
field advantage? These teams play one hundred and sixty two
games to get home field advantage in the playoffs, only
to then get to the playoffs and ride the vomit
comet Toronto and Milwaukee, losing both home games. So we
are a couple wins away by Seattle and LA from

(02:49):
an all West Coast World Series, which we'll be ignored
by the I ninety five corridor. But our lead this
hour from Sincinati and NFL style. Now, the Ben Goals
play on Thursday Nights primetime game island game for the
NFL Ben Gals taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers. That game

(03:09):
will be started by Joe Flacco. And the reason that
game will be started by Joe flaccos because Cincinnati traded
for Joe Flacco. There is a dimension in the multiverse
where Derek Carr remember him, Yes, Derek Carr would be
the starting.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
What are you talking about? He's not in the NFL.
Let me explain.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Is it true that the Cincinnati Ben Gals reached out
to Derek Carr and said, Hey, how would you like
to play quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals? And they politely
asked him and Derek Carr said, you know what, I
got somebody on the other line that wants some white walls.

(03:54):
I'll get back to you. Yeah, if you know what
I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about. Anyway,
if you didn't see this, maybe not thought it was
an interesting story. Now we know more to the story
why he turned the job down. His brother David Carr,
who also sucked as an NFL quarterback. David Carr, the
older brother, spoke to a TV station in Fresno. That's right, Fresno,

(04:16):
that's where they're from, to discuss the situation and said
that Derek Carr did not check this out, did not
want to go to a situation where he would be playing,
but there was an entrenched quarterback already there, such as I.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Don't know Joe Burrow.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
So he decided to not go to Cincinnati. Let us
discuss the question, how does this picture look? How does
the picture look for Derek Carr turning down the chance
to play QB one for the Cincinnati Bengals. So my
observations on this, I've got bunk bed, Cupcake, and Santa,

(04:58):
and we will combine all all of these things together
and we are going to make the gobbagool. We're gonna
make the gobbagool. Now my first thought on this number waw,
that's right, Derek Carr. This is like the remember that
documentary about the monopoly game at McDonald's which was rigged

(05:21):
for years and some dude was handing out winning tickets
and then taking some of the money. Good documentary called mcmillions.
This is like Derek Carr was given the winning monopoly
piece for the McDonald's game and then went to take
a number two and instead of wiping his took us
with toilet paper, he wiped his took us with the

(05:42):
winning monopoly piece and then flushed it down the toilet,
Like what are you doing? Like seriously, this is textbook
running from the grind.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
It is it. Run Run, Run, Run Run Run for us,
Run run, Derek Run.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
You've got Jamar freaking Chase, who by any measurement is
a top five receiver in the NFL. Jamar Chase. On
one side, You've got t Higgins. And Derek Carr said,
when given the opportunity, he was given the keys to
the car, and he said, you know what, Nah, I
don't think so eh. You know, I don't want to

(06:24):
do too well there because then somebody else is going
to get in the driver's seat and I'll be upset
by that.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, you know what that is?

Speaker 2 (06:32):
That is Derek Carr validating every mean, cruel thing, every
gas bag, blow hard on radio, on TV, on the
you know podcast, Internet, all that stuff, every cruel thing,
everything said about Derek Carr. He just validated all the
crap that we talked about him. And this is why

(06:55):
Derek Carr remains Derek Carr. It makes you want to
bang your head on the on the table. It's like,
what are you doing. Joe Burrow is out for the year.
It's a season in the injury. He's not walking through
that door. Does Derek Carr know what season ending is?
He's not coming back. Everybody knows it, all right, So

(07:16):
Derek Carr could have taken the Bengals job, sat in
the big chair as QB number won and taking the
bags work kind of wobbly right now, right not doing
very well, floing, kind of floating along bad football, and
at least made them a playoff contender. And they called

(07:38):
them and said, hey, you know, we know you're terrible
and you're not a big game player and all that,
but we still want you. We still want you, and
Derek Carr looked around the AFC North and he saw
Pittsburgh over there, he saw Baltimore, and Baltimore's not that
good this year. As you know, they suck in Cleveland.
These games are always even though those teams are not

(07:59):
that good this year, there's always fist fight in a
phone booth with those teams. And Cincinnati just needed someone
to guide the ship.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
And he said, I'm good. I don't want to do that.
I'm not I'm not interested.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
He said no, thanks uh and passing on a chance
a golden oppert. Like the whole argument, he didn't want
to he wanted to play in the NFL. He didn't
want to play for the SATs because they're a bad team.
And this also confirms that he wants to play in
the NFL. If the Bengals got rid of Joe Burrow,
for Derek Carr, he would be more than happy to

(08:34):
play there. But this was an opportunity for Derek Carr
to change and rewrite his story the final paragraph on
his Wikipedia page, and as a player, and he'd rather,
I guess eat Bennet's somewhere sitting on a sofa or
reheating cheese curds than actually playing and explain, explain this

(08:58):
to me, Riddle me this, batman. Like, where there is
there a team who is a legitimate playoff team that
does not have an entrenched quarterback. Who is going to
call Derek Carr up and say, Hey, how would you
like to play in the NFL with us? Hey, come on, seriously,
anyone is good as an entrenched quarterback. He's thirty four

(09:19):
years old. No, he's not gonna sign a ten year contract.
No one's gonna sign him to a ten year contract.
It's not gonna happen. And you have an opportunity here
with the team. If you win a few games. You
got two stud receivers. Just throw the ball to them,
they'll catch it, they'll make it look good. And that's
the job. And he turned the job down. You know
who would have taken that call and that opportunity and

(09:40):
a heartbeat, half the NFL would have taken that half
the NFL. So Car is the mister softy machine and
mister softy truck there, he's the machine in the mister
softy truck. And so last I checked that I might
be wrong on this. I don't think the NFL's summer
camp meaning that you don't get to pick the bunk

(10:00):
bed next to your best friend.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
You just have to sleep where they tell you to sleep.
And so sometimes that means you go to Cincinnati and
hang out with annoying people like Justin and Cincinnati and
people like that, and you take the best opportunity and
you ball out.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
You just go out there, your ball out. If you're
good enough, you know the things will figure it out.
They'll figure it out, and if you play well, the
Bengals will send you somewhere else and you'll go to
a team and all that. And Derek Carr, there is
a dimension where he could have gone to Cincinnati and
eaten tons of Skyline Chile and toss the ball to
Jamar Chase and make the playoffs and maybe even win

(10:36):
a playoff game, and then there would have been a
big giant bag of cash, big giant bag of cash
waiting there at the end of the rainbow.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
And instead he chose his feelings over football.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
All right, that's a dumb, dumb Now here's the story
I love out of Nashville. Remember the rule of the show,
Bad teams make good talk Radio. And there's a terrible
team called the Tennessee Titans. And they've got a rookie
quarterback who was drafted number one overall, cam Ward, number one,
who made a bold decree this week at cam Ward,

(11:11):
despite being a pathetic pro football player, speaking to the
athletic behind a paywall, the old gray Lady, the athletic,
cam Ward gave himself a letter grade for his performance
through the first six weeks of the NFL season.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Did he give himself an A? How about a B?

Speaker 4 (11:31):
No?

Speaker 1 (11:31):
How did he give himself a seat?

Speaker 5 (11:32):
Now?

Speaker 2 (11:33):
How about an F? He said, quote, I am not
playing how I want to play right now. So once
I play how I want to play, I think the.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
League will be ft.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
So he again used the word F. Now he used
the word we're not allowed to say. He didn't say porked.
He said it was a different word for some reason.
It starts with an F.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
So the question is, give me your reaction.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Give me your reaction to cam Ward giving himself an
F grade for his performance as a rookie with the
Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
So I loved it.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
With a capital L. I thought this was great. And
I come in here five days a week. I got
the podcast on the weekends and we play a lot
of audio, and we do different things with athletes soundbites.
And I often sit here and rant and rave like
a lunatic and complain. And these guys just aren't honest.
This is just bull crap, right, I go on and on,

(12:32):
and here here's a guy no sugarcoating, like he's like, no, no,
we're close. Cam Ord didn't say the Tennessee Times are close.
He didn't say I see progress on the tape like
this is the kind of crap that you get from
the New York Jets coaching staff. Everyone sees the Jets
are worse now than they were at the beginning of

(12:54):
the year. And Aaron Glenn's up there, Oh yeah, I
see progress. This is a good team. We're getting there.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
No, you're not.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
You're terrible. You're a bad coach. The team stinks. And
here's cam Ward, which is refreshing because he's like, I
don't see any progress.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Is an f.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Truth in broadcasting, Truth in broadcast. I love that truth
in broadcasting, right, and hanging this right next to his
other great quote, two words, we ask, great quote, Hey,
cam how the Tennessee Titans doing?

Speaker 1 (13:28):
We ask.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Now, someday, if cam Ward wins the Super Bowl, Hey,
cam Ward, you've just won the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Where are we going? We ass will be the answer
unless it's not. Listen. Ward gets it now.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
I don't know if he'll ever be able to play
at a high level in the NFL, but he gets it.
I'm pulling for the guy. I hope he makes it
so no polishing turds here. Cam Ward did not try
to spit a giant loogie of mucus on your cupcake
and then say, hey, it's frosting, so delicious frost.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
He didn't do that.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
He didn't under any and I mean this truly, under
any reasonable measurement, He's been a failure.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
He's been a failure.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
He has it is a belly whopper of a rookie campaign.
And he's been doing this hot yoga and he's stuck
in that downward dog position while the pocket collapses around him.
He's been sacked twenty five times, which is far and
away more than any other quarterback in the NFL. The

(14:32):
Titans have lost almost two hundred yards of offense. And
why do they then that? Dumb people blame the offensive line. Oh,
it's the offensive line's fault. Tell me, you don't know
football without telling me you don't know football all right.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
The problem is his vision is lacking.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
He's not processing, he's not making quick enough decisions, not
processing what the defense is doing.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
The game is too fast for him.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
And as for cam Ward saying that once I play
how I want to play, the league will be f't
that's another quote. So this is rather simple. Seeing is believing.
Don't tell me, show me right. The league is not
exactly shaking in their boots for cam Ward at this point,
with his sixty seven point three passer rating and a

(15:19):
guy that gets sacked and it's a gift to the
defense three or four times every game.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Regardless of that, I'll give him this.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
He's not hiding from it, unlike Derek Carr, who spent
a career running from it.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
He's not.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
So if you're gonna be bad, at least be like
cam Ward. Be bad, but say hey, I'm bad. Don't
be like Derek Carr and run from it. He gave
himself an F. That rarely happens. Usually what happens is this, ah,
I'll give myself a C. And they'll try to be
like the smartest people and say, oh, there's stuff that
you don't see in the All. You know, you don't
get access to the All twenty two. You don't see
what we see. You know, we're better, We're smarter than you.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
No, you're not.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
And the on the field on game day is the
product that you are judged by, and the consumer looks
at how you perform and they make these decisions. And
he said what everyone was thinking, cam Ward, and that
earns him a little puffy sticker. I know, Danny, and
Nashville is excited about that. He's in Miami now, so

(16:21):
he is failing Camward, but he's not failing in self awareness.
So that's a good thing.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
All right.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Final point to Cleveland. We go another dumpster fire every time.
Not the Browns. Though, interesting story in Major League Baseball
and we have new information out on the gambling All
Star of Major League Baseball. Now we know that the
Guardians closer Emmanuel class A was placed on the non
disciplinary essentially the Commissioner's list by Major League Baseball. Right

(16:51):
the NFL used to have that. This was back in July.
Somehow Cleveland made the playoffs. Now this is all part
of a gambling investigation where he was helping his buddies
out as I understand it. His friends win a few bucks.
You can bet on every pitch on the different gambling apps.
And so he was telling them or they were telling

(17:13):
him either way, Hey, first pitch when you come in,
make sure it's a ball. I'm gonna bet a couple
of g's on it. I'll win some money. And he
got away with it with for a while apparently, and
then eventually the gambling companies, which are not in it
to lose money, figured out there's some funny business going
on and they put the kebasha on that. And so
the Major League Baseball they read the gambling places red

(17:36):
flag the pitcher. They went to Major League Baseball, who's
a partner, And then that's how this all went down.
And so unusual betting patterns. Like a guy that has
amazing control every other time he comes in out of
the bullpen, the first pitch is gonna hit the mascot
on top of the dugout. It's a problem. So he
was put on on leave. Luis Ortiz, another pitcher, was

(17:57):
also put on leave. I bring all this up because
we've now learned that Emmanuel class A, his major league
baseball career is over. That according to Insider Hector Gomez,
who tells us that class A will never pitch in
Major League Baseball again for boten he's been outlawed. If
Major League Baseball has indeed uncovered the smoking gun evidence

(18:21):
through text messages and other digital information that class A
gambled on baseball or was advising gamblers and tanking pitches
for gamblers, he would be banned for life.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
From Major League Baseball.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
So the question what is your position on the currently
suspended Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel class A being possibly permanently
banned for gambling by Major League Baseball. So on this one,
he is getting charboiled based on the reporting. There is
no wiggle room on this based on the reporting, and

(18:58):
he's done Gonzo, bye bye all of that, and he's
going to be placed in the Major League Baseball wood chipper.
And this guy's not as well known because he covers
the Latin world. But this guy, Hector Gomez, is really good.
Like he's much better than like John Hayman or those hacks.
This guy's much better, Hector Gomez. And when he says

(19:22):
irrefutable evidence, I believe it. This guy's plugging in with
the Latin American ballplayers. This guy knows everything as an
insider there, and he knows which way the wind is.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Blowing, and why the wind's blowing that way, and how
long the wind's gonna blow that way.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
So class A not coming back would be the Pete
Rose Experience without the all time hits record catastrophic screw
up for the Cleveland baseball team formerly known as the Indians.
This was supposed to be the golden trade chip for
the Cleveland baseball team. Emmanuel class A, twenty seven years old,

(19:59):
three I'm all star, got the nasty cutter, great control
unless he wants to throw a pitch of the ball
because his buddy's bet on it. They could have flipped
him to the Yankees or the Cubs, for example, and
gotten a bag filled to the brim with scratcher tickets,
blue chip prospect as well all that. Instead they don't

(20:21):
get anything, and that's it. He's done, no dancing around it.
If this is accurate, we believe it is. Emmanuel class
ends up on the Santa List, the Naughty List, and
the good news is he can now have dinner with
Trevor Bauer, Julio Urias, and Yasio Puig who all happened

(20:42):
to play for the Dodgers and are also shadow band
by Major League Baseball. They're not allowed in polite society
in Major League Baseball, they don't have lifetime bands. But
somehow all thirty teams in baseball don't want a former
Cy Young winning pitcher, a former All Star outfielder, or
a young flame throwing pitcher in who won a World

(21:06):
Series with the Dodgers. All those guys are off limits now.
The only ticket, and my only advice here for Class
A is to take a page out of Chris Carter's playbook.
And I know this does work with Major League Baseball.
And before you get sentenced to the Winter League in
Siberia and that's the only way you can play baseball,

(21:26):
my advice is to go Chris Carter.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Gotta have a fall guy. It worked for Otani.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
I saw Tani last night on my TV playing in
the National League Championship Series. I didn't see him in jail.
I saw him playing in the in the NLCS. He
wasn't banished to play in the Mexican League. And Otani
what did he do? He used the interpreter card from
the bottom of the deck. He blamed as interpreter that

(21:52):
he he used the excuse that he's the dumbest person
in the world, that he had no financial sense, no
savviness with his money, and he allowed millions and millions
of his dollars, his money to be swirled away by
his interpreter. And it was completely coolest because he's he's
the village idiot shoheil Tony and that worked that Baseball said,

(22:13):
you know what, we make so much money from Japan.
We believe you're an idiot, we believe you're a moron.
We're going for it. Yes, So otherwise that's a no class.
The can say, you know, I don't speak English, Well
it's not. That's my issue there.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
And my interpreter is the one that told me to
throw the pitch and I don't even.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Know what that means and all. But otherwise, baseball is
a zero tolerance policy. You can do PDEs. You can
unless you're a couple of guys we mentioned who have
been banned. But there's other pitchers that have rolled as
Chapman of the Red Sox, you know, getting dust up
with a woman in your back, getting a bar fight.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
They don't care about that.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
But the gambling stuff, yeah, that's that's not good. The
only way you're guaranteed to win at sports gambling is
if you're fixing the sports camping. That's about the only
way you're guaranteed. I got I like doing it, and
I have fun with it. I know that I'm more
likely than not it's not going to work out in
the end anyway. It is The Ben Malor Show. If

I'm told, believe it or not, first time caller, shocking, Hello, Alejandro.
You did not wait for a newby night. You called
up on a non newby night.

Speaker 9 (25:30):
Welcome, Yes, sir, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
What's going on? You're on the air, You're in the
air everywhere.

Speaker 9 (25:35):
What's up, oh, first time caller?

Speaker 10 (25:38):
Man, I've been listening to you for like two months.
I had a genuine question, honest question. Though every time
you come back from break you say Bill Miller, yes,
your aliens.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Or well, in many ways it is, it's it's mocking
the situation. For many years, I had this gentleman named
Eddie Garcia who I worked with.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
He's been gone for about a year now. He's not dead,
but he's just not here anymore.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
I got whacked and so Eddie used to do the
the bumps, and years ago here at Fox Sports Radio,
they updated the website.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Not those type of bumps.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well he might do that, I don't know, but anyway,
so so, yeah, we come back from the timeouts or
whatever and so Eddie would do that, and they whacked
him and they never replaced him.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
They just play taped updates here. So what we do
is to to honor Eddie.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
We we honor with Bill Miller because the company updated
the website years ago and they made a big announcement
and they misspelled my first and my last name on
the website. They called me Bill Miller instead of Ben Maller.

All right, thank you man, there's Alejandro.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
How about that Mars, we had a new guy called

Speaker 5 (27:56):
Oh? This is wonderful.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Do you have any advice to Alaha and how to
become a caller of the year, Like you've reached that level.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
Oh, there's going.

Speaker 9 (28:04):
To be a tie and then get.

Speaker 6 (28:05):
Back to me.

Speaker 9 (28:06):
So no chance.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
So you're telling Alexandra he has no chance to be
the caller. He seems like a nice guy that always
seems like he likes the show.

Speaker 9 (28:12):
And what go down there? A guy or a girl?

Speaker 5 (28:19):
I believe it's a guy that is did I?

Speaker 9 (28:24):
Well, I think at one point you did say Alejandra Insada, Alejandro.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Really, but it was a boy. I didn't know Marcel
was picking up on my dictation. I didn't my my
verbiage there. I did not realize this.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
Say no more, buddy, and congratulations to my enemy within
Mike a New Hampshire Horns beating me in the Mala
Militia feue. Well, next week I will take this revenge back.

Speaker 9 (28:51):
And that's the truth.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
All right. Well, somebody wants to say hello to you.
Say hello, let's go to call her a random caller
online line four. Hello, line four. You're on the random caller.

Speaker 9 (29:03):
Random collar. Here's my feelings Mann, because you're about to
hit in trouble. The topic was going to be Derek Carr.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Oh, oh yeah, what what did he say?

Speaker 1 (29:17):
I don't even know that. It's Dick and Dayton, folks,
are you Dick and Dayton? Sir?

Speaker 9 (29:21):
No, I have marking centerviautics.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Oh now not not flag Staff, not Scottsdale, not Mesa.

Speaker 9 (29:28):
You're right in the middle of her.

Speaker 6 (29:31):
You know the value of.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
The sun yeah, all right, hold on, Marcell, Yeah, yeah,
what are you upset?

Speaker 1 (29:38):
What are you complaining about?

Speaker 6 (29:39):
Mark?

Speaker 9 (29:39):
Well, you were bagging on Derek Carr and sure he's
mediocre mid range quarterback, but at least he got to
meet the NFL. Here's the deal, the way he came across,
or like bagging on his character. When the guy last year,
when he realized he was going to have to rehab
all year, decided not to occupy a rockter spot with
the Saints and suck thirty million dollars off their payroll,
he decided he would air quotes retired.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
And you believe you believe that's actually what happened.

Speaker 9 (30:05):
Well, I mean he did get the Tim Mindel Rocks
bonus and after that is when he retired. So I
think the dollar signs were part of it. But the
same time, Boss, so I kind of think, like what
you mentioned later in the broadcast was, yeah, maybe he
didn't want to play for the Saints anymore. Yeah, that's
part of it. But backing up the money train and
not jumping on board, it seemed to me from what.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
It's not even about the money.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
It's about the opportunity that the Bengals have two stud
wide receivers. If you're a quarterback, why would you not
want to play with a team that has two stud
wide receivers and quarterbacks out for the year.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
That's the perfect situation.

Speaker 9 (30:37):
You got me there, because I mean, you're right that
that his targets of opportunity their top show. But the
thing was, I figured that I was unawathy. He was
even off for the opportunity by Cincinnati. But when you
hear were somebody retiring, and then because.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
He didn't retire, he just didn't want to play for
the Saints. He didn't want to play the Saints sock.
He knew they socked. Didn't want to play there.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
That's it.

Speaker 9 (30:59):
But he was jer and he's gonna be rehabbing.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Everyone's injured that plays football, they're all hurt.

Speaker 9 (31:04):
Oh well, anyway, I just know that you're very angry.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Why are you so angry? What's wrong with you?

Speaker 5 (31:09):
Well?

Speaker 9 (31:11):
Character and integrity something you know not not that much about.
I'm gathering at times.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Look, you just do a shot. You see that this
douchebag took a shot at me.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
This guy you can hang up on another phone, another phone,
tough guy, another phone, tough guy.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
This guy. Look at this guy.

Speaker 9 (31:27):
Oh, anyway, do I lose my qualification to call back
on a newbie night?

Speaker 1 (31:30):
No call back whenever. I don't care.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
As long as you're not Marcel or the Leprekano, the
same seven people to call every night, feel free.

Speaker 9 (31:37):
You know it is not the same rot. I mean
that league is kind of like wow, it's uh, it's
a lot of the change. But the thing is it
does occupy your diamond.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
Well.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
The rule is, though, if you call up more than
like one time, you gotta get If you're a regular,
you got your a nickname.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
That's the rule.

Speaker 9 (31:52):
So Marky B and the CEOP we'll go without him.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
I think, how about Douchey. We'll call you that?

Speaker 5 (31:58):
All right?

Speaker 1 (31:58):
I thank you though, I appreciate you. Take Yeah, I
gotta go. Yeah, thank you. Marcell. What do you think
of that called Marcell?

Speaker 5 (32:06):

Hampshire wants to say he ouder you. Hello, Mike in
New Hampshire. You're on with Marcel and Brooklyn.

over the head. How would you like a toilet over
the head some of the talian lepre cod buddy.

Speaker 6 (32:35):

Time out, random caller, You're on the air with Marcel
and Brooklyn. Hello, random caller, call him, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Hello.

Speaker 10 (33:17):
Okay, Well anyways, Marcel, people, what did your mother call you?

Speaker 9 (33:26):
Marcellino?

Speaker 5 (33:27):
You sucks like blind fox behind.

Speaker 9 (33:31):
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up?

Speaker 5 (33:36):
A tolerant.

Speaker 9 (33:38):
Like you, pat you click, I'll put him on.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
I'm sorry. I don't know why these people are being
so rude to you. Let's go to Steve in Missouri.
Hello Steve, you're on with Marcel and Brooklyn.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
Hello, Hello, picks coming up?

Speaker 9 (33:54):
Oh hello marvelous Marcel. Are you going to vote for
z Ramman Danny in the mayoral election this year? How
do you feel about that? A minute?

Speaker 5 (34:06):
He was the mayor of your hometown, aren't you?

Speaker 8 (34:10):
No?

Speaker 1 (34:10):
He's not that right? What do we get? All right,
we'll block.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
I gotta go, Thank you, Marcel, Paul, last word, Paul
and Ottawa?

Speaker 1 (34:17):
We got passed? Where you want to play? Password?

Speaker 8 (34:19):
Paul?

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Right now?

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox? Oh, Paul and
outo quick? You got a quick take on Derek Carr
Paul and Ottawa.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (34:26):
I called you a few years ago about him, and
I defended him because I thought he was a good
journeyman and he had played four good games. But I
think I solute you because you were right about him.
And what it comes down to is you have to
have the desire to compete. And it reminds me of
Jay Cutler, another quarterback that I liked, and how because

(34:46):
he was injured he didn't go back in in that
game against the Green Bay Packers in the final conference final.
And once you do that, you kind of I think
you lose the respect of your fellow player.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Well, Anthony Richardson for the Colts last year when he
took himself out of the game against the Texans because
he was tired.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
That did not go over well. All right, thank you, Paul.
