Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. It's our number four hour four ready,
and it's all about the birds. The bird is the word.
The bird is the word. We start out on this
hour the Ben Mather Show, which is now a podcast.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni doubling down, doubling down on the
first year offensive coordinator Kevin Patulo. Will not remove him,

(00:25):
he said on Monday as the play caller. Also did
Aaron Rogers. Aaron Rodgers overstep the mark in outing his
Steeler teammate for running the wrong route or root. That's
a story that still has legs. And Andy Reid was
downright defiant when asked about the Chiefs dwindling playoff hopes.

(00:47):
Give me your reaction to that. We'll have that and
much more right now, have a wonderful Tuesday. It's the
second day of December. Don't forget about the fifth Hour
podcast and Benny Versus the Penny. That's on YouTube. It's
called Benny Vspenny. Hit that subscribe button on that and
there'll be new episodes dropping tomorrow and then again on
Thursday night for the NFL Benny Versus the Penny. But

(01:10):
here's our number four. Have a great day talking Bertie's welcome.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
We are in the air everywhere in the passenger seat

(01:35):
as we are on the Sawdust Circuit, Coast Dot Coast, Border,
the border and beyond on the vast and unforgettably powerful
microphones of fs are emmnating live from the ball, the
money Ball of gall Otherwise I know it's the world

(01:55):
famous Fox Sports Radio Studios. And Robin Vegas says, hey,
what about tire rack, Well, that's right. For over forty years,
Tyraq has been helping customers from Vegas to Maine, you
nowhere else find wherever they drive. It doesn't matter where
they drive, ship fast and freeback by free road hazard

(02:17):
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire
iraq dot com. The way the tire buying sure be
in a portion of the Ben Mather Show on Fox
also made possible by our friends at DraftKings. And our
friends at DraftKings would like to remind you that online

(02:37):
sports betting has now officially launched in Missouri. The show
me State checkout DraftKings Missouri can't misoffer if the Chiefs
gain one plus yard this Sunday, you win. Hmm. That
seems seems pretty self explained to anyway. Check it out.
It's on DraftKings Sportsbook now live for our listeners in

(02:59):
Missouri there, and it says in the copy, and I'm
just going by the copy, if the Chiefs gain one
plus yard in Sunday's game, you win. Let's put it
this way. If they don't gain one plus yard, then
a bunch of people probably will end up losing their jobs.
So there is that. Anyway, Let's get right into it here.
The Monday night game not much of a game. The

(03:21):
Patriots wins Drake May. The new line is out. Drake
May now the betting favorite for the MVP. They updated
the odds after the game against the lowly Giants, who
looked like they didn't want to be there. But our
lead this hour is from Philadelphia, PA, the reigning champions
of the NFL. More tension in the Delaware Valley. After
the Eagles sucked at a time you cannot suck on

(03:44):
Black Friday, they spent the weekend contemplating some major changes.
Fundamentally broken football team on offense. Despite the eight and
four record, the offensive futility, it's been a complete boondoggle
on offense, and this has led to a glaring storm

(04:04):
cloud over the team for several weeks now and there
have been calls from angry Eagle fans to have the
offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo whacked. They want him when not
literally whacked, but they want him fired or stripped of
his play calling duties. So after another suckbag performance by

(04:29):
the Eagles offense, Nick Sirianni spent the weekend, as we said,
trying to figure out what to do the head coach
of the Eagles, and the results are in. He decided
he's not going to change the offensive play caller as
Kevin Patulo over made. He will continue as the offensive
play call at least, calling to Nick Sirianni, who said

(04:49):
everything was being evaluated. We'll think about some different things
that we want to do scheme, he said everything, Nick Sirianni,
I don't think it benefits for me to share that
what that is he said, But he did claim that
Batulo will remain as the offensive play caller. So that

(05:10):
is a good jumping off point, assuming that he's being honest,
which he likely isn't. Nick Sirianni. So let us discuss
the question Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, doubling down, doubling down
on supporting his first year play caller Kevin Batulo. That

(05:30):
is blank. So I've got menu board, greatest Hits, box set,
and oracle, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make the gobbagool. We're
gonna do it for Tillo, the gobbagool. All right, So
the lead off here the question Eagles coach Nick Sirooni,

(05:51):
doubling down on the first year offensive coordinator slash play
caller Kevin Bittulo is blank. It is Einstein like as
in the definition of insanity.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
And the offense of the Eagles right now has the
sex appeal of waiting online at the DMV. It's very sexy.
And it's the classic NFL shell game, right you move
the cups around, where's the bull? Move the cups around?
Where's the ball? You hope nobody nobody notices that it's gone?

(06:25):
And I was like, where you go? It's the definition
of you know, Einstein's definition of insanity, literally doing the
same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
And here we are now if you check the menu board,
all right, and you have to drive through. Check the
menu board the drive through, Nick Sirianni is giving you
a cup of coach speak soup. That's right on the

(06:48):
menu board. It's right below the chicken soup, the French
onion soup. It's it's right there. The tomato soup. You've
got that. So that's where when he's talking, Nick Sirianni
is talking, he's lying. When he is not talking, he's lying.

(07:08):
That's how this he's a coach. As a famous coach
who worked here, Fox Sports Radio told me years ago, Ben,
when we talked to the media, we give a version
of the truth, but not the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth. We give a version of the truth. Okay,
like a politician. Now, the funniest part is the Eagles
actually need a scapegoat. They need a scapegoat. The Birds

(07:32):
keep answering the same questions about their play calling every
single week, and that likely means that seems to be
a problem. Right, that's a bold statement. Oh, they keep
asking about this every single week. And so you're paying
your quarterback two hundred and fifty five million. That's the
contract for Jalen Hurts. Expect you expect Superman or at

(07:57):
least Spider Man or Captain America. What do you got
he Well, you got someone who's bad to the bone
right now in Jalen Hurts, a generic brand cereal. That
is what Jalen Hurts is providing, generic brand cereal Ordinary.
There was a lot of hype, you say over hype.
Now last month, Jalen Hurts is the NFL's twenty first

(08:22):
ranked passer. Doesn't seem that good to me. He's barely
edging out by a fingernail. Geno I suck and I'm
in Vegas Smith, the Toothless Raiders offense. Think about that
for a second. So Jalen Hurts is only a hair

(08:43):
ahead of Geno Smith. Oh my god, you know what
that is. That's vomit comet stuff is what that is.
And the Eagles offense, if you look at the numbers,
you're twenty fourth in yards, they're nineteenth in points scored.
The last three weeks, they're twenty six extant points scored.
It seems to be a problem. So this isn't a slump.

(09:05):
It appears to be a trending death spiral is what
it is for the Eagles offense at this particular point,
So we'll see whether or not Nick Sirianni is lying.
We have seen multiple teams in the NFL this year
who have just changed the play caller. The Detroit Lions,
they demoted their offensive coordinator and Dan Campbell Lions play

(09:30):
on Thursday. Dan Campbell's the play caller. And in Washington
they demoted the defensive coordinator and Dan Quinn medicine man
is now calling the plays on defense. But the Eagles,
at least publicly are saying they're not doing that. We'll see,
We'll see what happens this weekend. They don't play till Monday.
I think I'll be at that game. But the Eagles
in the Chargers, I think I'll be at at least
part of that game, all right now. Furthermore to Pittsburgh,

(09:53):
Were we go, Pittsburgh, Pa A Rogers, This story still
has like so Rogers, you might have heard about it,
maybe not. He accused his teammate of not knowing what
he's doing. He made the accusation, and he threw teammate
and tight end John new Smith under the Steelers struggle

(10:14):
buss after the game against the Bills. And so this
has been debated quite a bit and we mentioned it
in a previous episode of the show. We didn't get
in depth into it, but in the postgame news conference,
Rogers said that he and Smith were not quote on
the same page on the offense and this resulted in
a missed opportunity to score a touchdown for the Steelers,

(10:38):
something that they got shut out in the second half
and really only scored once in there, the entire thing
of a jig there. So it was not a great
day for the Pittsburgh Steels offense against Buffalo. Rogers also implied,
he implied that some players would be present during film
sessions and some wouldn't that they were, they were, they

(11:02):
were not there, all right, So that still got legs
the question on this one, did Aaron Rodgers overstep the
mark by outing, by outing the Steeler teammate there for
running the wrong route and route and that whole thing.
So so Rogers on this one, it's clear he didn't

(11:25):
just tiptoe up to the line tiptoe tiptoe. No, he
took a running start and he jackhammered right over the
line to gain. And it's the only time they did
get the line the gain that mattered, because they didn't
do it during the game very often, and so we
love it again. I always say I have interest, I
have skin in the game. I'm not a Steeler fan,

(11:46):
but I have a talk show and I like this.
Give me the whole buffet, and Rogers is giving you
the full buffet. You take the good, you take the bad,
you take them both. And what do you have? You
have the mister Rogers Complete Greatest Hits box set, Aaron

(12:08):
Rodgers box set, Soup to Nuts. Congratulations, lock Stock and
Berre you had all the Aaron Rodgers. Rogers decided to
go public. The collateral damage was John new Smith, who
ran the wrong route during the game, according to Rodgers,
and so it's like he's airing his dirty laundry for
the world here, like putting on a billboard in Times

(12:31):
Square and say, here's here's the problem. And this is
the guy he fed up. It's his fault. And guess what,
As long as long as he's not lying, As long
as Anon Rodgers is not lying, fair game, fair game,
it's fair game. We want athletes to be honest. I
want honesty. That's I can't I can't deal without it.

(12:53):
I need it. And it appears he was being honest,
you peel back the curtain and many people record this
is why so funny to me is I complain all
the time about this bull crab from people. We play
sound bities. We wentn't play much of these days, but
we play them, and oftentimes it's just blowney and so
you peel back the curtain a little bit and you're like, Okay.

(13:13):
A lot of people's like, oh, that smells bad. You know.
That's like if you've ever cleaned out your fridge after
about seven or eight months, and you forgot the tupperware
on the upper left hand side of the fridge in
the back, the very back, and you stretch your arm out,
you kind of reach it, you grab the tupperware and
you're like, I don't know what's in here, and then
you open it up and it's like tuna from six

(13:34):
months ago, and yeah, it's not not great. But listen,
this is either gonna be Rogers is going full senile,
washed up quarterback into the line can't play anymore, or
or he still can play. And this is proof, proof

(13:55):
of proof of process, proof of process that the Steelers
offense is using different song sheets and that they're not
on the same pit, like one guy's reading Beethoven. We'll
assume that's Rogers. He's got the ayahuasca tea and he's
got some Beethoven. And then the other guys are enjoying
some Taylor Swift songs. They're just humming some Taylor Swift songs.

(14:16):
And that the last line that Rogers said. The last
line there that Rogers said, looking forward to seeing all
the boys there, he said, regarding the wide receiver meetings
at the facility outside the facility, I use the Mallard
Dekoder ring on this, and so it's obviously saying like
there's an attendance problem here, there's an issue with the attendance.

(14:38):
Without saying there's an attendance problem, he's saying that. So
did he overstep his place in the locker room, the
pecking order, the locker room. I'm gonna go no, he
stepped right into the content factory. And that's the world
I'm in. Feed the beast, Feed the bast, feed the

(14:59):
bas He did it all right, last thing that Kansas City.
I'm old enough to remember when the Chiefs were the
class of the American Football Conference. Now cam Ward would
say they ask not good right now so Chiefs coach
Andy Reid sounding very passionate. Meeting with the media on Monday,

(15:24):
he was asked about the Kansas City football team and
what looks to be a very bleak outlook. The long
term forecast for the playoffs is not particularly good. Took
a hit over the Thanksgiving weekend a loss to Dallas
on Turkey Day. He lost there. The reigning AFC champions
are six and six with five games remaining. Five games remaining,

(15:50):
and even if the Chiefs win them all and run
the board, they still need some help to get to
the playoffs. Playoffs, So Andy Reid was asked about all
this and what did he say. Andy Reid said, quote,
if you're coming to me, Reid said, We're going to
go after you every game, and that's how we roll. Okay,

(16:12):
nothing wrong with that. He then said, here's the money
part of the quote. Andy Reid said, We're going to
tickle your tonsils on every play, every game. But that's
the attitude we're coming in with. And then you let
the chips fall where they may get that line right there,
We're going to tickle your tonsils on every play. Hmm. Interesting,
all right, So that's a good jumping off point on

(16:33):
this one. So let's discuss the question. Andy Reid downright
defiant capital D when asked about the Chiefs dwindling playoff hopes.
Give me your reaction. So I love the line. Let
me repeat that for a third time. Andy Reid said,
We're gonna tickle your tonsils on every play. This is

(16:56):
not football talk. This is like a late night cable
old back in the day pay per view type thing.
Andy Reid is the oracle of the obvious. Andy Reid.
He'll tell you the sun rises in the east, that
water is wet and it gets cold at Lambeau Field

(17:16):
in January. Right, And when he says the team's going
to go after you, it's like, Okay, how are the
Chiefs looking right now? Let's let's see. You're the doctor,
how's things looking there? Let's see how the Chief's looking
right now. Well, they're currently sitting in a house. It
is a haunted house. Scary. This is not the magic

(17:40):
carpet ride that it was supposed to be. It is
more like a bumper car breakdown for the Chiefs and
the team is supposed to have We were told the
Mahomes magic. Has anyone seen that you know what the
Mahomes magic's like. It's like if you ever go to
Circus Circus in Vegas. I think it's closing sometime in
the near future, but the hotel in Vegas Circus Circus,

(18:02):
and you go the mezzanine there and you see the
magician who juggles as well and then drops the balls
while they're juggling. Yeah, it's good for the kids. That's
essentially Mahomes magic. There's a lot of ball dropping going on.
What about the Kelsey kryptonite that he's the kryptonite for
the other teams? Haven't seen that Chris Jones playing whack

(18:22):
a mole on defense? Well, this year Chris Jones decided
to take some plays off and that game likely will
be the kill shot for Kansas City that they He
decided not to hustle Chris Jones against Jacksonville and Trevor
Lawrence ended up scoring a touchdown after stumbling twice. And
Jacksonville is one of the teams ahead of Kansas City
that they're trying to catch and they need Jacksonville lose

(18:44):
a bunch of games here. But even if they lose
a bunch of games because of the tiebreaker, head to head.
That's the kill shot in many ways. And so just
another trip to the Kansas City Mystery Theater and the
foundation is still there, there's still the players are in place.
They just haven't played well. You are what your record

(19:04):
says you are. It's not like you're still trying to
mold the play though into place. This is who the
twenty twenty five Kansas City Chiefs are, for better or worse.
And it looks like they had their house built by
a discount contractor and it's not up to code. There's
no consistency, there's no rhyme, no reason, no, just a
lot of smelly stuff. There's no flow to this. It's

(19:27):
very choppy. And the tonsil tickling, it's a good line.
We gotta get a copy of that. I don't know.
I didn't have time and usually I have to get
the sound but I didn't have time to get that.
But it's a good sound bite. So what happens and
I asked this for the class, what happens when they
play a team the Chiefs that doesn't have tonsils? People

(19:49):
have their tonsils taken on. Can you still tickle the
tonsils if somebody doesn't have tonsils? Will have to check
with Andy Reid about that. Maybe there's ghost tonsiles in
there that we like. I don't have my tonsils. You
couldn't tickle my tonsils. I don't have them. Like there's
spirit glands in there somewhere we don't know about. Maybe
no oh, big red talking, talking tough, the Oracle of

(20:12):
the obvious there and did you expect them to out?
We are so porked. We have no chance. In fact,
the only reason we're playing these games the rest of
the year is because we were told we have to.
But we'd much rather be on vacation somewhere. And Travis
kelcey has to plan for a wedding. Okay, big Rhode
Island wedding. What do you want us to do here?

Speaker 3 (27:25):
I have not.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, I did see that the FDA passed a new
drug though, what's dog young? What's the market on that though?

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Like?

Speaker 1 (27:32):
How many people are craving to get a dog? I
guess you're allergic to dogs? You can get a fake dog?

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Yeah, And people who were afraid of their dogs dying, right,
you could get a fake dog so you don't have
to ever worry about losing them.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Wouldn't the technology in that dog like eventually fade? You
wouldn't You would lose the dog because even though it's
not a real dog, the battery is dead. But you
don't have to pick up any any do doo and
there's no allergens, which is great, But is that really
a large market share? I guess we'll see cake drinking

Steve is in Cannes, Zah City. Hello Kike drinking Steve?

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Well, oh man, how come you don't know that cheese?

Speaker 7 (28:15):
So more man?

Speaker 8 (28:17):
Oh big?

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Because I want winners. I love winners.

Speaker 7 (28:23):
Oh you hurt my heart?

Speaker 12 (28:26):
Well we got check out.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yes you need. All you need is five offensive linemen,
a couple of players in the secondary, and you're in
really good shape.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
We're going back to the super Bowl. Man, you heard
it here first?

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yes, are you what? What section will you be in
at the super Bowl so we know where we can
put you on TV.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
You're gonna get tickets from Ben Mallor and.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Oh yeah, like they give me ticket. I can't even
get tickets to that Disney thing they're doing on Thursday.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
I can't get the.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Gravy train of Prebe's and get tickets in the super
Bowl and in California. Now, I want to talk about
Meghan the Stallion.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
You love it.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
I'm fascinated by you because you love the tablets. You
read the tablets all the time. Like, it's wild to
me how much you love the tablets.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
I know.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
I'm very curious, why why Clay Thompson would meet this woman,
Meghan I.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Can think of a couple of reasons why he would
be attracted to her. I mean, at least the one
for sure. I don't know what else we're looking for.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
It's howesfully early in your relationship, no matter how big
the dudelaws are. To put her on a boat man,
that's that's Clay.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
He loves boats. He's a boating man. As you know.
He took the boat to work when he played for
the Warriors. Captain Clay.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
I think he's got it. Won't have to address since
it was Lorena on her segment. But I think this
is way too early in their relationship to start doing
in such a heavy commitment.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
I understand that now. Is it true? There was a
rumor on the internet that keg drinking Steve will be
at the Rhode Island wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.
Will you be there?

Speaker 3 (30:10):
Man?

Speaker 7 (30:11):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (30:12):
Man?

Speaker 2 (30:12):
I would go to I want to go to the
bachelorette party. I don't want to go to the wedding.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Didn't they already have that? I thought they already had that.
Didn't the already have that?

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Man? Want to see how many girls they? You know
how they kind of practice kids for each other.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
And I don't know. I've never been to a bachelorette party,
so I wouldn't know.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
I want to see.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
How do you know, by the way, I think that
was only important movies you were watching. I don't know
if that.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Actually happened, the man shoot make out with Selena Gomez. Baby. Also,
did you see those pictures of Amy Schumer?

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Oh my god, you are all over You don't even
care about sports. You just care about the tabloids.

Speaker 11 (30:47):
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
I'm not that into it.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
I what dude, I would I would tap Amy Schumer
until the life gopper.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
On the shoulder. Yeah, you gonna get your attention, Amy. Yeah,
I know, I know some popular one. All right, all right,
come on, how many? How many times can I say
things on the edge and then get away with it? Well,
the Boiling Frog. You might remember in a previous episode

(31:18):
of the show, we did a Mallard monologue on the
NFL adding commercials to a product that was sold to
not have commercials. The Red Zone a very popular show
on NFL Sunday one channel. They claim every touchdown, every
game and all that stuff. So the NFL started putting
commercials in and they said, it's no big deal, It's

(31:39):
only a couple of commercials. It's like, it's don't worry
about well, well, well, well, well now we have made
it to now heading into week fourteen in the NFL season.
Turns out the NFL has very quietly been adding commercials.
They have added more and more and more. In fact,

(32:00):
there were sixteen commercials that were on the Sunday broadcast.
That is four times as many as week number one,
and on screen five times the length in total. So
this is the boiling frog, right. You start out a
couple of commercials, don't be a douche who cares, Nobody

(32:22):
worried about it whatever, You're being a Karen, You're complaining.
And then eventually they just keeping It's kind of like
the way America came like they wanted to low taxes,
you know, like a bunch of people came over from Europe.
They want low taxes. Now, depending on what state you
live in, you get taxed up the wazoo. But it
started out I was like, oh, it's just a little
tax for this, little tax for that, and eventually just

(32:44):
keep adding and the NFL, I'm telling you, you check
back in a couple years, the red zone will have
fifteen minute commercial breaks. It's going to happen. It's going
to happen. Meanwhile, what else said this? I thought this
was interesting. You didn't kiss the ring story. So Dam's
quarterback Matthew Stafford is being criticized by people like Gunner

(33:04):
from the Walmart in Northern Minnesota. He's a Carolina Panther fan.
The people upset. There's some video that has been making
the rounds post game. You know, when everyone's playing grab
ass after the game. It's really not game. Yeah, they play,
they play the game, then they played grab ass. Well,
apparently Matthew Stafford did not play grab ass the right
way because he was not He did not celebrate and

(33:29):
chat with Bryce Young. He kind of ignored Bryce Young,
the other quarterback, and that was seen as an act
of defiance. I would say that's not the worst thing
that Matthew Stafford's ever done. You might want to check
with the camera lady. After the Rams won the Super Bowl,
that probably worse than that. But yeah, come on, we're
now upset because somebody didn't play grab ass enough? Is

(33:49):
that even real? That can't be real. They can't be people.
Oh I'm not happy you didn't kiss my quarterbacks? Took
us enough. Come on, let's go to Rick and Maryland.
You know what time it is? Let me see if
you can Rick. What time is it? Rick and Maryland?

Speaker 12 (34:02):
Morning time?

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, smooth, smooth, smooth operator.

Speaker 10 (34:09):
Look me, you know a kid drinking Steve, I think things?

Speaker 7 (34:12):
Do what it?

Speaker 12 (34:13):
Do you have anything to worry about when it comes
down to Andy Reid now? Because they ain't gonna lose
a game in December. You know he represents Santa Claus
and look at uh the RAINA play a Hark of
the Bells, the original Hark of the Bells if you
got a chance.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
You know, because I can't play anything but Ben Mallard
Christmas songs. So if you would like to make a
version of Hark the Bells, you can send that over
to me. And I'm say we've decided only play Mallard
Christmas songs and we love it. I think it's great.
The feedback's by wonderful Stevie Meatballs and alf the Allena
Pinter and Ferd Dog, the senior members of the Mallord Militia.
Justin in Cincinnati. Justin hates Christmas, but he loves the songs.

(34:48):
When we're on week four, Felexus the seven Toad Reindeer.
You guys, I don't want to hear it, Well, that's fine,
you can complain, but listen, this is what the people want.
You give the people what they want.

Speaker 12 (34:58):
I want to hear h guy name, uh, what's his name?
Daniel from Texas? And you know your boy? Uh Loraina
the elf? Those two getting the face off talking, you know,
because Daniel, he sounds like he swallowed one of those whistles,
you know, the crossing god and just.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Could you imagine them in a Daniels in Fort Wayne
and he's listening. He's listening right now. He's very happy
Fort Wayne in the anda. I'm sure he's very excited.
You said it sounds like he swallowed a whistle.

Speaker 10 (35:26):
I mean, I mean, come on, those two in a
shouting mats. That'd be great.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Do you understand though, Daniel is America's favorite crossing guard.

Speaker 12 (35:34):
I know, I know that's what I said.

Speaker 10 (35:36):
He swallowed one of those whistles. May be perfect, That's
all I got. But December is chief month. Come all right,
have a good one.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
All right, there you go. There's Rick in Maryland. Morning
time Bubba the Dude says, Hey, I love the show
and listen every morning of my driving to work. But
you know what that means? God, he says Michael Leprechaun
and Poppy ruined it. I have to turn the channel
every time. Please stop giving them so much airtime. It
kills my ears. Bubble the Dude, Joe the Ghost Hunter

(36:11):

just a toy dog that doesn't even look real. I
wasn't planning on buying it. I wasn't ferk dog says
only Mallard holiday songs. Only keep the Mallard Christmas songs coming.
That's what the people want, that's what they want. Alf says,

(36:33):

a great reference. That's the all time my favorite stories.
At a Mallard meet and greed David in winter Park, Florida.
He drove up from winter Park, which isn't that county Orlando.
He drove to Boston. We did a meet and greet

He's very excited to meet me. Was nice to meet
you whatever. Then he says, he what's going on? I said,
I want to meet Roscale the parry. He says, hold
on one sex. So he goes outside, walks down the
block a couple of blocks, goes to his car, and
he comes back and says, I got Roscale the parents.
I want to meet Roscoe. This is very exciting. And
he then proceeds to hand me a stuffed animal parrot,

(37:17):
and he says, this is Roscoe, and then he does
the parrot sound effects much like Mike the Lepkrin. We're
very we are very popular with people that have like
rubber ducks or chickens and stuffed animal as like human

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
