0:00
Speaker 1: Boom! Shakalaka!
0:03
Speaker 2: It's hour number three as we waltz through life, pathetically
0:08
Speaker 2: promoting the fifth hour podcast until you run out of
0:12
Speaker 2: patience in honor of our new home in Baltimore radio.
0:15
Speaker 3: We brought in Mel Proctor, a former Oriole broadcaster, also
0:20
Speaker 3: called Games of the Washington Bullets. A lot of his
0:23
Speaker 3: career spent in the Washington, D.C. area called Clipper Games.
0:26
Speaker 3: I've befriended Mel over the years. He'll join us to
0:29
Speaker 3: tell some old stories on the Fifth Hour podcast. And
0:32
Speaker 3: here in hour number three, did Jerry Jones sell out
0:36
Speaker 3: the Cowboys by giving a home game to Rio de Janeiro?
0:40
Speaker 3: Is Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield taking accountability or hiding behind
0:45
Speaker 3: the safest cliche in football with his latest comments? And
0:49
Speaker 3: in Motown, is defensive coordinator Kelvin Shepard right that talking
0:55
Speaker 3: about Detroit's injuries is for losers? We'll discuss that and more.
0:59
Speaker 3: Settle in. It's our number three. It is a travel
1:05
Speaker 3: tale for.
1:07
Speaker 1: All to complain about.
1:08
Speaker 3: You need something to complain about in life, and here's
1:10
Speaker 3: another thing to complain about. Welcome in the beginning of another,
1:18
Speaker 3: yet another hour of the Ben Maller Show.
1:21
Speaker 1: We are in the air everywhere.
1:27
Speaker 3: As we Together, sculpt our takes, and we make sure

2:45
Speaker 1: That's right.
2:46
Speaker 3: So our lead story this hour, not the Thursday night
2:50
Speaker 3: Island game, which was a rout, if you didn't see it,
2:54
Speaker 3: not the team that was favored, the other team, the
2:57
Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons.
2:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. Must be a full moon this weekend.
3:03
Speaker 3: As the Atlanta Falcons end up winning the game, it
3:06
Speaker 3: was not close. A blowout as Green Bay, bad to
3:10
Speaker 3: the bone.
3:11
Speaker 1: Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad to the bone. Those once
3:15
Speaker 1: proud Green Bay Packers.
3:16
Speaker 3: Our lead this hour, though, is from a team that
3:19
Speaker 3: was good before many people were alive. And that would
3:23
Speaker 3: be the Dallas Cowboys. But we go to Brazil because
3:27
Speaker 3: that's the story. Jerry Jones being blasted by some factions
3:31
Speaker 3: of the media for surrendering a Dallas home game to
3:36
Speaker 3: play Baltimore in Brazil. And that's going to take place
3:41
Speaker 3: this weekend. as that'll be the big game over on CBS.
3:45
Speaker 3: So if you didn't see this, or maybe you missed it,
3:48
Speaker 3: so Dallas is listed as the home team, even though
3:52
Speaker 3: it's a neutral site game. They gave up a game
3:55
Speaker 3: at AT & T Stadium, and some factions of the media, clicks,
4:00
Speaker 3: are arguing that Jerry Jones effed up, created a competitive disadvantage,
4:06
Speaker 3: bad job by him.
4:07
Speaker 1: Instead of facing Lamar Jackson.
4:10
Speaker 3: In Jerry's world, in Arlington, the Cowboys will travel this
4:14
Speaker 3: weekend 10-plus hours for a neutral site game in Rio. Now,
4:20
Speaker 3: the criticism is essentially this. Jerry Jones prioritizing the Cowboys'
4:24
Speaker 3: global dominance, business branding, international exposure, trying to get that
4:32
Speaker 3: Brazil money over maximizing the football advantage of having nine
4:38
Speaker 3: scheduled home.
4:39
Speaker 1: Games this season.
4:41
Speaker 3: All right, so that is a good jumping-off point. Before
4:45
Speaker 3: we sink into oblivion, let's discuss the question, did Jerry
4:50
Speaker 3: Jones sell out the Cowboys by giving a home game
4:55
Speaker 3: to Rio de Janeiro? So I've got my take on this.
5:00
Speaker 3: I've got Magellan, Veggies, and Cholula. And we'll combine all
5:09
Speaker 3: of these things together, and we are going to take
5:12
Speaker 3: a ride on the wild side. So to lead off here,
5:17
Speaker 3: this take that Jerry Jones sold out the Cowboys by
5:21
Speaker 3: giving up a home game is a hot take felony.
5:27
Speaker 3: It is a hot take felony. Now, you want to
5:29
Speaker 3: criticize Jerry Jones, fine. I've made my entire career out
5:33
Speaker 3: of criticizing Jerry Jones. There is a large warehouse filled,
5:39
Speaker 3: filled to the brim with material when it comes to
5:43
Speaker 3: taking shots at Jerry Jones.
5:44
Speaker 1: This ain't it. This ain't it.
5:47
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones has done more than any other owner in
5:50
Speaker 3: the NFL to keep cowboy football.
5:53
Speaker 1: In America, to keep these games on U.S.
5:56
Speaker 4: Soil.
5:56
Speaker 3: And one time he moves a game to Brazil and
6:01
Speaker 3: is like, oh, he doesn't care about the Cowboys winning.
6:03
Speaker 3: That's such a bad take. That's like the worst take
6:06
Speaker 3: I've heard. And there's a lot of bad takes. The
6:09
Speaker 3: Cowboys over the years have successfully avoided having to use
6:14
Speaker 3: a passport to to go play abroad. In fact, Jerry Jones,
6:20
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys, where do you think they rank among the
6:24
Speaker 3: teams that have played abroad since the year 2000, the
6:27
Speaker 3: last generation of the NFL?
6:30
Speaker 1: Is it true.
6:32
Speaker 3: That the Dallas Cowboys have played the fewest, the fewest
6:35
Speaker 3: NFL international games since the year 2000? Is it also
6:40
Speaker 3: true that that number of games the Cowboys have played
6:43
Speaker 3: overseas is only one, only one game, just one time
6:48
Speaker 3: the Cowboys have done this?
6:50
Speaker 1: So the football decision is absolutely correct. Right.
6:56
Speaker 3: But one trip to Brazil and suddenly Jerry Jones is
7:00
Speaker 3: being called out as Magellan. No, he's not Carmen San.
7:04
Speaker 1: Diego or any of that. The problem is not Rio.
7:08
Speaker 1: It's not.
7:10
Speaker 3: And it isn't the field conditions of those sound like
7:13
Speaker 3: they're not going to be that great. The problem is
7:15
Speaker 3: Jerry cannot even visit a Starbucks anymore. without explaining his
7:19
Speaker 3: commercial real estate portfolio and all of that. Loves to brag.
7:23
Speaker 3: Just loves to brag. And Jerry Jones' press conference about
7:26
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones is undefeated. And he naturally fueled the rage,
7:32
Speaker 3: Jerry did, by bragging. He was very braggadocious about his
7:36
Speaker 3: extensive Brazilian car dealership things that he's got going on
7:41
Speaker 3: there and his business associates. It's just typical Jerry Jones bragging.
7:47
Speaker 3: at work but again it's hard to say that jerry
7:51
Speaker 3: jones is the bad guy in this when the cowboys
7:54
Speaker 3: over the last generation this will be their second game
7:58
Speaker 3: their second international game in 26 years that's pretty good
8:05
Speaker 3: let's juxtapose that with teams like the chargers and the jaguars.
8:09
Speaker 1: And the rams who play games all.
8:11
Speaker 3: The time abroad now furthermore to tampa bay we go
8:18
Speaker 3: Best laid plans of mice, men, and Buccaneers. Tampa off
8:22
Speaker 3: to the miserable start. So bad they're talking about bringing
8:26
Speaker 3: back the creamsicle uniforms there. So quarterback Baker Mayfield, always quotable.
8:32
Speaker 1: Always quotable, Baker Mayfield.
8:34
Speaker 3: So Baker Mayfield says the Buccaneers' offensive struggles, they're obviously frustrating,
8:40
Speaker 3: but they're frustrating, according to Baker Mayfield, because Tampa Bay
8:43
Speaker 3: has been, quote, really close, close quote, to putting things together.
8:48
Speaker 3: Baker giving the diagnosis, he says it's simple, quote, everybody's
8:53
Speaker 3: just doing their job.
8:56
Speaker 1: He admitted that it sounds boring, but.
8:59
Speaker 3: Says execution is key to the Buccaneers to establish their
9:03
Speaker 3: offensive identity, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and eliminate the
9:07
Speaker 3: negative plays. So the question, is Buccaneer quarterback Baker Mayfield
9:13
Speaker 3: taking accountability, or is he hiding behind the safest cliche
9:20
Speaker 3: in football?
9:22
Speaker 1: All right, so that's the question. What's the answer?
9:27
Speaker 3: And so the answer is not that complicated. The answer
9:31
Speaker 3: is not that complicated. Baker Mayfield is essentially talking to
9:35
Speaker 3: himself through the media about Like one of those guys
9:38
Speaker 3: that leaves motivational post-it notes on their bathroom.
9:41
Speaker 1: Mirror in the morning. You know what I'm talking about?
9:43
Speaker 1: You know a guy like that? Maybe you're that person.
9:46
Speaker 1: And he's like, wow, we're close.
9:48
Speaker 3: And when you say we're close, that is adult language
9:50
Speaker 3: for I screwed up.
9:52
Speaker 1: I veffed up.
9:53
Speaker 3: However, I would prefer that we discuss the journey and
9:56
Speaker 3: not all of the mistakes.
9:59
Speaker 1: Not all.
10:00
Speaker 3: Of the mistakes that I have been a party to.
10:02
Speaker 3: You talk about the hardscrabble streets of quarterback stats. Baker
10:06
Speaker 3: Mayfield has been so bad to begin the year. How
10:09
Speaker 3: bad has he been that his contemporaries at the quarterback
10:13
Speaker 3: position are statistically Cam Ward and Jacoby Brissett.
10:19
Speaker 1: That does not seem to be good. That does not
10:22
Speaker 1: seem to be good.
10:24
Speaker 3: Oh, you're being a tough a-hole, Maller.
10:26
Speaker 5: I know. I know.
10:27
Speaker 1: I'm the bad guy.
10:28
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem when your statistics are that of Cam
10:31
Speaker 3: Ward and Jagobe Brissett, things are going well.
10:34
Speaker 1: Now, he is the problem.
10:35
Speaker 3: The check down is apparently his version for Baker Mayfield.
10:39
Speaker 3: It's his version of eating veggies. He knows that they're
10:42
Speaker 3: good for you. But he refuses to do it because
10:46
Speaker 3: he only wants the cotton candy. He doesn't want the veggies.
10:49
Speaker 3: I want the cotton candy. Why can't I have the
10:52
Speaker 3: cotton candy? Because you've got to eat the veggies. Well,
10:53
Speaker 3: I don't want to eat the veggies. Well, you've got
10:55
Speaker 3: to eat the veggies. I want the cotton candy. And
10:57
Speaker 3: then you've got Todd Bowles, who's pretty much implied that. Now,
11:00
Speaker 3: I'm going to use a football analogy. Hey, it's baseball.
11:06
Speaker 3: I said football.
11:08
Speaker 1: I meant baseball. I'm going to use a baseball analogy.
11:10
Speaker 3: There's an old line in baseball that pitching– pitching and
11:14
Speaker 3: hitting and all the different cliches in baseball and all
11:17
Speaker 3: that stuff.
11:17
Speaker 1: But there's a line an old.
11:20
Speaker 3: Hitting coach told me years ago when I was around
11:23
Speaker 3: the Dodgers before they bought all the good players and
11:25
Speaker 3: they actually had to build minor.
11:27
Speaker 1: League players up and stuff like that.
11:29
Speaker 3: And the hitting coach will tell a batter that sometimes
11:34
Speaker 3: you just got to take the walk.
11:35
Speaker 1: Take your base on balls. Take the walk.
11:37
Speaker 3: If they're not giving you something to hit, just take
11:39
Speaker 3: the walk. And Baker Mayfield does not want to take
11:43
Speaker 3: the base on balls.
11:44
Speaker 1: He doesn't. And I get it. You know, you get shamed.
11:47
Speaker 1: These guys get shamed.
11:48
Speaker 3: Wide receivers get shamed when they're slot wide receivers and
11:52
Speaker 3: they get goofed on.
11:53
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks get goofed on when they're Charlie Checkdown.
11:56
Speaker 3: And Baker Mayfield does not want to accept the fact
11:59
Speaker 3: there are times now he has to be Charlie Checkdown.
12:02
Speaker 3: He doesn't want to be Charlie Checkdown. He wants to
12:05
Speaker 3: be Charlie Gunslinger. He doesn't want to protect the football.
12:08
Speaker 3: He wants to sling it down the field. So he
12:10
Speaker 3: doesn't want to protect the ball. He doesn't want to
12:13
Speaker 3: end scrambles. He wants to chase bigger plays and all
12:18
Speaker 3: that stuff. So nobody gives points for, hey, almost. You know,
12:23
Speaker 3: you almost won that game.
12:25
Speaker 1: Way to go. Here's an attaboy.
12:26
Speaker 3: I'll give you a little puffy sticker because you almost
12:28
Speaker 3: won that game. And I looked at the NFL standings,
12:31
Speaker 3: and unfortunately there is no close enough column. And as
12:35
Speaker 3: we've pointed out for many years, bad teams lose close games.
12:38
Speaker 3: There's a myth that That bad teams get blown out
12:42
Speaker 3: all the time, that is not reality.
12:44
Speaker 1: It's just not.
12:46
Speaker 3: Bad teams, generally speaking... are close enough to being good.
12:51
Speaker 3: The margins are thin. The margins are thin, and so
12:55
Speaker 3: they kind of go about it that way, and so
12:57
Speaker 3: you don't get blown out, and that's just the way
12:59
Speaker 3: it is most of the time. Now, there are exceptions
13:01
Speaker 3: to every rule, teams like the Miami Dolphins that aren't
13:04
Speaker 3: even trying. Now, the last thing here, to Detroit we go,
13:09
Speaker 3: where Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Shepard is under siege, and
13:14
Speaker 3: he refuses.
13:16
Speaker 1: to.
13:17
Speaker 3: Use injuries as an excuse for Detroit's futility. A defensive disaster.
13:23
Speaker 3: He called Kelvin Shepard those that are using the injuries.
13:29
Speaker 1: As an excuse. He said all of that talk is, quote,
13:32
Speaker 1: for losers.
13:33
Speaker 3: Now, in case you haven't been paying attention, the Lions
13:36
Speaker 3: have been vaporized, allowing 71 points and more than 900
13:41
Speaker 3: yards through two games. Their secondary is depleted. Kirby Joseph
13:47
Speaker 3: and Brian Branch are on the pup list, physically unable
13:52
Speaker 3: to perform. And Terryon Arnold was let go because he's
13:56
Speaker 3: facing life at the Gray Bar Hotel, all expenses paid. Still,
14:02
Speaker 3: Shepard isn't interested in alibis. What can I do, most
14:09
Speaker 3: coaches say.
14:11
Speaker 1: What can I do? My hands are tied. I don't
14:13
Speaker 1: have this guy. You know, all this stuff.
14:16
Speaker 3: And he said, this is a quote from Shepard, the
14:19
Speaker 3: Lions defensive coordinator. He says, what am I going to
14:22
Speaker 3: stand up here and keep saying? I don't have Kirby.
14:26
Speaker 3: His message is we have the resources needed to be successful.
14:32
Speaker 1: All right, so the.
14:32
Speaker 3: Question, is defensive coordinator Kelvin Shepard right that talking about.
14:40
Speaker 1: Detroit's injuries is, quote, for losers? Yes. So on this one,
14:45
Speaker 1: the media, I'm fascinated.
14:46
Speaker 3: By this because it seems like the Detroit media and
14:49
Speaker 3: some of the national media guys, they are working overtime very,
14:53
Speaker 3: very hard to try to defend Kelvin Shepard. And they're
14:57
Speaker 3: actually working harder to defend the Lions defensive coordinator than
15:01
Speaker 3: the Lions defensive coordinator is working to defend himself.
15:04
Speaker 1: You feel me on that?
15:06
Speaker 3: It's like rather than just say, hey, next man up,
15:11
Speaker 3: that's it. The media in Detroit, it seems, is next excuse-o.
15:17
Speaker 3: But the NFL doesn't grade on a curve.
15:19
Speaker 1: They don't.
15:21
Speaker 3: Nobody cares. Nobody cares. Nobody cares about your problems. Nobody
15:25
Speaker 3: cares about the Lions' problems. And the woulda, coulda, shoulda. Boy,
15:30
Speaker 3: we would have been great if we had a full roster,
15:33
Speaker 3: had a healthy roster. And this just in to the
15:37
Speaker 3: Ben Mather show on Fox Sports Radio. Everybody, everybody's got injuries.
15:43
Speaker 3: But nobody gets to smash the pause button.
15:48
Speaker 1: Because life isn't fair. It's not fair. Boo-hoo-hoo.
15:53
Speaker 3: So on our scorecard, Kelvin Shepard, Lions defensive coordinator, gets
15:57
Speaker 3: a B +, a B +, for rejecting the excuse
16:02
Speaker 3: that some factions of the media are making on his behalf. Now,
16:07
Speaker 3: that does not absolve Kelvin Shepard from the Pepe Le Pew, P-U,
16:14
Speaker 3: what stinks, level of defense, from his Lions defensive secondary
16:19
Speaker 3: in particular. And the Lions, so far this year, have
16:23
Speaker 3: hit a two-leg parlay. They are both undisciplined, and they
16:28
Speaker 3: appear to be unprepared, the you and you, when they're
16:33
Speaker 3: out there at the grocery store called The Field. So,
16:39
Speaker 3: sometimes in the NFL... You have to make chicken salad
16:44
Speaker 3: out of chicken fertilizer.
16:47
Speaker 1: You got to do it.
16:48
Speaker 3: And whatever ingredients are in the fridge, whatever you got,
16:53
Speaker 3: dinner's going to be.
16:53
Speaker 1: Served at 6 o'clock, and that's it, and you got
16:56
Speaker 1: to have something to eat. And so you grab.
16:57
Speaker 3: Some Cholula hot sauce and some bell pepper and some
17:02
Speaker 3: black pepper, and you start mixing it all together. And Shepard,
17:06
Speaker 3: it appears he understands the deal. Like, nobody is promised
17:09
Speaker 3: you're going to be coaching filet mignon. You might want
17:12
Speaker 3: to coach filet mignon, but you're not promised filet mignon.
17:15
Speaker 3: And sometimes all you have to eat is some spam.
17:18
Speaker 1: And the number one.
17:22
Speaker 3: Thing that leads you to enjoy food, the number one spice,
17:26
Speaker 3: the flavor that gives you joy is hunger. So if
17:31
Speaker 3: you're hungry, that spam is going to taste really good, really,
17:34
Speaker 3: really good. And if your backup stink, and it appears
17:39
Speaker 3: the Lions backup players stink, then you got to get creative, right?
17:44
Speaker 3: You're paid to coach them up. That is why coordinators
17:47
Speaker 3: are not paid minimum wage. That's why they get paid
17:50
Speaker 3: a lot more, I'm told, than minimum wage.
17:53
Speaker 1: All right? That's just the reality of the situation.
17:57
Speaker 4: All right.

Speaker 7: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
19:53
Speaker 6: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
19:55
Speaker 8: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
19:58
Speaker 6: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
20:01
Speaker 6: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
20:03
Speaker 6: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
20:06
Speaker 6: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
20:09
Speaker 8: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
20:12
Speaker 8: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
20:15
Speaker 8: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
20:18
Speaker 8: get anywhere else.
20:19
Speaker 6: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
20:23
Speaker 6: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
20:26
Speaker 6: on how football really works.
20:28
Speaker 7: Continuity is very important but what happens when you get
20:32
Speaker 7: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize
20:36
Speaker 7: them then they want to hire them and then you
20:39
Speaker 7: can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself but
20:42
Speaker 7: you have to replace.
20:43
Speaker 6: Them Because once you understand what's going on inside the
20:47
Speaker 6: mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
20:50
Speaker 8: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
20:53
Speaker 8: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't
20:57
Speaker 8: own the team. I never owned a team.
20:59
Speaker 6: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
21:03
Speaker 6: or wherever you get your podcasts.
21:09
Speaker 3: The Ben Maller Show on Fox Sports Radio as we
21:14
Speaker 3: continue on through the overnight hours.
21:18
Speaker 1: I'm glad you have chosen to hang out with us.
21:20

21:40
Speaker 3: On the Sunday edition yet. There's a couple of people.
21:45
Speaker 3: If they answer the phone, they'll be on. If not,
21:47
Speaker 3: we'll go to the next name. And if they don't
21:48
Speaker 3: answer and they don't answer, eventually we'll just get down
21:50
Speaker 3: to Robbie the Mariner fan. And then Robbie always answers
21:54
Speaker 3: his phone. He always answers his phone.
21:57
Speaker 1: So the Fifth Hour podcast is straight ahead.

22:21
Speaker 3: the city of Baltimore.
22:24
Speaker 1: Excited about that.
22:25
Speaker 3: And one of my good radio friends is Sports with Coleman.
22:31
Speaker 3: And he loves to send me food porn. And I'm

Speaker 3: thinking about going to Baltimore just to eat the state
22:37
Speaker 3: cake of Maryland, which is this 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,
22:40
Speaker 3: 12-layer cake.
22:42
Speaker 1: You can eat this. Freaking amazing. I got to get
22:44
Speaker 1: that cake at some point. In my life. So we're
22:50
Speaker 1: excited to be on in Baltimore.
22:51
Speaker 3: And the fifth hour podcast today, in honor of Baltimore,
22:55
Speaker 3: we have Mel Proctor, who was a longtime Oriole broadcaster
22:58
Speaker 3: back in the day and just a goofy, fun broadcast guy.
23:02
Speaker 3: He's got a new book out, and he's going to
23:04
Speaker 3: talk about that. But it's a crazy story.
23:05
Speaker 1: It should be a movie.
23:08
Speaker 3: So he'll be on the fifth hour later today. Also,

23:40
Speaker 1: So find him there. He's the big morning producer, and
23:44
Speaker 1: we take phone calls.
23:45
Speaker 3: But first, we have to pay off the Mallor riddle
23:48
Speaker 3: of the day.
23:50
Speaker 1: The Mallor riddle of the day. So what is the
23:53
Speaker 1: Mallor riddle of the day? Here it is.
23:56
Speaker 3: Ian Happ, that's a baseball player, surprised the Wrigley Field
24:00
Speaker 3: Bleacher Bums with blank in what is likely going to
24:04
Speaker 3: be his final regular season game At Wrigley Field, he
24:09
Speaker 3: wanted to surprise the bleacher.
24:11
Speaker 1: Bums, and he did surprise them with blank. What is it?
24:16
Speaker 1: Let's see if any of you yahoos know the answer.
24:20
Speaker 3: And we go to the X machine to try to
24:23
Speaker 3: find out who it is.
24:25
Speaker 1: Let's see. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Pick an answer by
24:30
Speaker 1: the name. Let's see.
24:33
Speaker 3: We've got, can't read that. Tinfoil hats from Alf the
24:37
Speaker 3: Alien O'Piner. Let's see here. Page down. Personalized whoopee cushions
24:44
Speaker 3: from Monkey Biz Doug in Korea, although he's moving back
24:49
Speaker 3: to the States here soon. A huge gabagool sandwich from Attillo.
24:54
Speaker 1: That's his answer.
24:56
Speaker 3: Pizza Papa says discount coupons for Garrett's Popcorn.
25:04
Speaker 1: Is the answer. Who else do we have? Page down.
25:07
Speaker 1: We'll skip over that. Let's see here.
25:11
Speaker 3: We've got DJ Spin Patrick with Padre Propaganda.
25:15
Speaker 1: We're not reading that right now, but thank you. I'm happy.
25:18
Speaker 1: with the Padres. I did see the owner. She was
25:21
Speaker 1: in there celebrating.
25:22
Speaker 3: I know she had a lot of home runs this
25:24
Speaker 3: year for the Padres, and I'm glad she was able
25:26
Speaker 3: to take part in that celebration.
25:28
Speaker 1: Let's see. Lorraine, do you have an answer?
25:29
Speaker 3: Ian Happ surprised Wrigley Field Bleacher Bums with blank in
25:34
Speaker 3: what was likely his final Cubs regular season game.
25:39
Speaker 1: Whoopie Cushions. Whoopie Cushions. Is that correct?
25:42
Speaker 3: No.
25:44
Speaker 5: No.
25:45
Speaker 3: Ian Happ surprised the bleacher bums with a ball tossed
25:50
Speaker 3: into the bleachers that was wrapped in $ 300. And he
25:56
Speaker 3: told them, he wrote a little note. He said, thank
25:59
Speaker 3: you for 10 incredible years and your unwavering support. And
26:02
Speaker 3: he said, beer's on me. Now, the reason I brought
26:07
Speaker 3: this up and the reason I think this is absolutely hilarious,
26:10
Speaker 3: I think this is great. Why was that not the
26:14
Speaker 3: greatest gift you could give?
26:16
Speaker 1: $ 300.
26:16
Speaker 3: What was odd about this story? You want to take
26:19
Speaker 3: a guess, Lorena, what was odd about this story? Baseball
26:23
Speaker 3: wrapped with $ 300 and tossing it into the crowd there,
26:27
Speaker 3: the bleacher bums at Wrigley Field.
26:28
Speaker 1: What was odd about it? I thought it was weird
26:32
Speaker 1: that you don't know who's going to catch it. What
26:34
Speaker 1: if it like.
26:35
Speaker 6: I don't know.
26:35
Speaker 1: That's a terrible idea.
26:36
Speaker 4: That wasn't it?
26:37
Speaker 1: Well, there's a couple things.
26:39
Speaker 3: The first thing is the price of a beer... At
26:43
Speaker 3: Wrigley Field, right? It's very expensive. And $ 300 is a
26:49
Speaker 3: decent amount of money. But how much is a beer
26:53
Speaker 3: in the bleachers at Wrigley Field? What do you think
26:55
Speaker 3: a beer costs?
26:56
Speaker 1: $ 12.
26:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you'd think probably $ 12. I don't know
27:01
Speaker 3: off the top of my head.
27:02
Speaker 1: I guess we could.
27:02
Speaker 3: Just look it up. It's probably about, I'd say at
27:06
Speaker 3: least $ 10.
27:08
Speaker 1: Probably more than that. And if you want a souvenir cup,
27:11
Speaker 1: that'll cost you more.
27:12
Speaker 3: If you want a souvenir cup, that'll cost you some more.
27:15
Speaker 3: I think Wrigley Field, the 24, here it is, a
27:18
Speaker 3: 24-ounce draft beer at Wrigley Field cost about $ 15. All right,
27:24
Speaker 3: so he wanted to buy the Bleacher Bums beer.
27:28
Speaker 1: So that's the first part.
27:28
Speaker 3: So you got $ 15, and how much, you do the
27:31
Speaker 3: math on that, how many beers, like, well, what would
27:36
Speaker 3: be the amount of beers you could get. So 15 times,
27:42
Speaker 3: let's see here, 15 times 20. So you get 20 beers.
27:45
Speaker 3: So 20 fans could get beer. The other part of it,
27:48
Speaker 3: and this is the more interesting part, Wrigley Field, I
27:52
Speaker 3: was there a couple years ago, is a cashless venue.
27:58
Speaker 3: You cannot use cash at Wrigley Field.
28:02
Speaker 1: Can't do it. And Ian Happ tossed.
28:04
Speaker 3: $ 300 bills there.
28:08
Speaker 1: What? Oh, my gosh. Yeah, yeah.
28:12
Speaker 3: So he just gave some guy $ 300. I can't spend
28:17
Speaker 3: the money.
28:17
Speaker 1: No, that's great. All right, let's go to the phones,
28:20
Speaker 1: and we'll say hello.
28:21
Speaker 3: We have Weed Man Hippie coming up later this hour,
28:23
Speaker 3: our friend Billy from Hollywood, Florida. He'll be my laugh
28:26
Speaker 3: track on Lame Jokes of the Week. Kevin is in Florida,
28:31
Speaker 3: and he is up next.
28:32
Speaker 1: Hello, Kevin. You're on the radio.
28:34
Speaker 4: Welcome.
28:35
Speaker 5: Hey, how's it going, man? How's the night been?
28:39
Speaker 1: Let's see.
28:39
Speaker 3: Well, if I was any better, I would have been
28:42
Speaker 3: a Packer, but not a Green Bay Packer.
28:46
Speaker 1: Nice.
28:48
Speaker 5: So about the college football thing, everywhere I call in,
28:50
Speaker 5: it's the same thing. College football is ruined. All this
28:54
Speaker 5: money that they make, why don't they.
28:58
Speaker 5: Make a commissioner, like, for example, Nick Saban, put him
29:02
Speaker 5: in charge. He was in the coaching. He knows the players.
29:05
Speaker 5: He knows about all this NIL shit. That's why he
29:08
Speaker 5: left college football.
29:10
Speaker 6: Please watch your language.
29:12
Speaker 1: You can't say the S-word.
29:15
Speaker 5: I apologize.
29:18
Speaker 1: Why Nick Saban?
29:20
Speaker 3: Like, that whole save college football act, I don't like that.
29:23
Speaker 3: I think that's, like, there's got to be a common
29:25
Speaker 3: ground here. Because that's just them trying to get back
29:28
Speaker 3: control of, you know, they've created Frankenstein and now they
29:33
Speaker 3: want to put Frankenstein back in the lab.
29:35
Speaker 1: And it's not a great idea because it's not going
29:38
Speaker 1: to work. You know what I'm saying? I'm saying?
29:41
Speaker 3: Saban didn't have a problem with players getting paid when
29:43
Speaker 3: he was paying them under the table.
29:45
Speaker 1: I agree with that.
29:46
Speaker 5: I agree with that. But that was just the first
29:49
Speaker 5: name that popped up in my head. But who's voting
29:53
Speaker 5: on that actor? Is that the... ncaa or is that
29:56
Speaker 5: the government.
29:57
Speaker 3: Oh it's congress right as i from what i've read
30:00
Speaker 3: i guess it passed the first thing but it is
30:03
Speaker 3: questions whether it's going to get the full vote and
30:05
Speaker 3: i guess that's.
30:06
Speaker 1: Is it next week i think i read somewhere it's
30:08
Speaker 1: next week or.
30:09
Speaker 3: Uh i believe okay next week so we'll see what
30:12
Speaker 3: happens but there'll be lawsuits and things too right because
30:15
Speaker 3: lawyers are making yeah agents are making money off the
30:18
Speaker 3: players now so they're not going to want to give
30:19
Speaker 3: up their money So they're going to try to find
30:21
Speaker 3: some loophole to sue, and it'll get delayed, and it'll
30:25
Speaker 3: end up in the Supreme Court, and then it'll be
30:28
Speaker 3: up to them to decide what they want to do
30:29
Speaker 3: with it. I enjoy college football. It's never going to
30:33
Speaker 3: be like it was. But nothing's like it was, right?
30:38
Speaker 1: Everything changes.
30:39
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, I'm old, I guess, because
30:41
Speaker 3: when I was a kid, baseball players actually made a
30:44
Speaker 3: salary where some of these guys had to have jobs
30:47
Speaker 3: in the offseason because they were not making money. The
30:49
Speaker 3: minimum salary in baseball is a couple million dollars. Back
30:52
Speaker 3: in the day, it was like $ 60, 000.
30:53
Speaker 1: Baseball money is crazy. Exactly. Exactly. What's your solution, Kevin?
30:59
Speaker 1: Your solution is Nick Saban. That's your solution?
31:02
Speaker 5: No, no. Just put somebody in charge and have a
31:04
Speaker 5: group and have it regulated and where, you know, the
31:07
Speaker 5: Ohio State, the Alabamas, the Miamis, they can't spend $ 50
31:11
Speaker 5: million versus... You know, the smaller schools that just don't
31:15
Speaker 5: have that kind of.
31:16
Speaker 4: Money, you know?
31:17
Speaker 1: Now, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this, Kevin.
31:19
Speaker 1: When has regulation ever really worked?
31:25
Speaker 5: I mean, that is a good question. I think the
31:29
Speaker 5: NBA does a good job of it. And when it's
31:31
Speaker 5: not followed, for example, Kawhi Leonard, his whole situation.
31:36
Speaker 5: I mean, they did discover it and punish him for it.
31:40
Speaker 5: So I think the NBA does a good.
31:41
Speaker 1: Job regulating it. You think Kawhi was the only player
31:44
Speaker 1: getting money out of the table?
31:46
Speaker 5: No, no, but the way that he did it and
31:50
Speaker 5: the amount that it was was a little absurd.
31:52
Speaker 3: Well, from what I understand, well, people think Jalen Brunson,
31:56
Speaker 3: but from what I understand, the reason they dinged the
31:58
Speaker 3: Clippers is because the Clippers apparently– They hired, I don't
32:03
Speaker 3: know if they hired, there was that ESPN story that
32:06
Speaker 3: the NBA got upset with because they made it seem
32:09
Speaker 3: like there was going to be no punishment.
32:10
Speaker 1: They hadn't decided that.
32:12
Speaker 3: And so then they brought the hammer of God down
32:14
Speaker 3: on the Clippers and all that.
32:15
Speaker 1: But anyway, thank you, Kevin, for listening. The great Kevin.
32:18
Speaker 1: He's got a dirty mouth, but we appreciated his phone call.
32:21
Speaker 1: Let's say hello to... Put some soap in it.
32:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's say hello to Poppy in San Diego.
32:29
Speaker 1: Hello, Poppy. 0-1 this weekend.
32:33
Speaker 3: Poppy gave out his five-star pick, the Green Bay Packers,
32:36
Speaker 3: in the Thursday game, and thank God for that.
32:39
Speaker 1: Hello, Poppy.
32:40
Speaker 4: Hey, mentor. Yes, and I'm ready to give out the picks.
32:45
Speaker 4: This week on NFL Mentor. Let's go on and start
32:48
Speaker 4: it off. Get the real going.
32:50
Speaker 1: Hold on a second. I thought you were picking against
32:53
Speaker 1: the leprechaun. Let me see. It's a leprechaun.
32:56
Speaker 4: Yes. My boy, where's the leprechaun?
32:58
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's see if we can get him on.
33:00
Speaker 1: Is the leprechaun there? Let's see here. Let's find out
33:02
Speaker 1: if we can punch the leprechaun up. Hello, leprechaun. Don't
33:05
Speaker 1: hang up on Poppy. Oh, I hear the leprechaun. There
33:09
Speaker 1: he is.
33:10
Speaker 4: Anyway, Poppy, you're off to a bad start. I was
33:15
Speaker 4: 3-0 last weekend, but at least you.
33:18
Speaker 3: Can go two out of three.
33:20
Speaker 4: Two out of three ain't bad. Yes, good luck. Okay,
33:25
Speaker 4: thank you.
33:26
Speaker 1: All right, all right.
33:27
Speaker 3: Listen, we have one minute. I'm going to put one
33:30
Speaker 3: minute on the clock. We're doing three games, yes?
33:33
Speaker 4: Yes, that's correct.
33:33
Speaker 1: All right, three games.
33:36
Speaker 3: And this is the segment you did not ask for
33:39
Speaker 3: but you're about to get. We've got Poppy in San Diego,
33:41
Speaker 3: Mike the Leprechaun, And Poppy's an amateur handicapper. Mike the
33:47
Speaker 3: Leprechaun just picks the Patriots every week, and that's it.
33:50
Speaker 1: So let's see here. Here we go. We'll put one
33:52
Speaker 1: minute on the clock. You're on your way, gentlemen, and go!
33:56
Speaker 4: I like on this game, sir, the Texans versus the Colts.
33:59
Speaker 4: Give me the Colts, sir. I look a little bit nasty,
34:01
Speaker 4: but let's go Daniel Jones. We trust. And we're going
34:06
Speaker 4: to go on the next game, the Rams-Broncos. That's a
34:08
Speaker 4: good game on the Sunday night. I'm going to go
34:10
Speaker 4: with Broncos on this one. Bo Nix.
34:14
Speaker 1: Oh, boo.
34:16
Speaker 4: And then save the best for night on Monday night, too,
34:20
Speaker 4: but we've got the Eagles and the Bears. On this one,
34:22
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to go with Mr. Caleb Williams
34:24
Speaker 4: and the Bears over the Eagles.
34:26
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a great, tremendous handicap, and Caleb Williams probably
34:29
Speaker 3: not playing in that game. And Leprechaun Guy, you got
34:32
Speaker 3: 20 seconds. Who do you like in those games?
34:35
Speaker 4: Obviously the Pats. They're underdogs.
34:37
Speaker 5: They will cover.
34:38
Speaker 1: He didn't do the Patriot game. The Patriots are playing
34:41
Speaker 1: the Jaguars.
34:43
Speaker 4: The Bucs are going to win.
34:44
Speaker 3: They're underdogs.
34:45
Speaker 5: So are the Cowboys.
34:46
Speaker 1: He did the Colts game. All right.
34:48
Speaker 3: What?
34:49
Speaker 7: The Cowboys.
34:50
Speaker 8: The Cowboys, Bucs, Pats.
34:51
Speaker 3: Stop interrupting, please.
34:52
Speaker 4: And then, last but not least.
34:54
Speaker 5: Leprechaun over Marcel every day.
34:57
Speaker 4: Okay. Yeah.
34:59
Speaker 1: So you guys did different games. All right. Thank you.
35:01
Speaker 1: Go away. All right.
35:03
Speaker 3: You're supposed to do the same game. If you're going
35:05
Speaker 3: to do it, it's supposed to be head-to-head. There's Poppy
35:09
Speaker 3: and the Leprechaun. We've got Big Ben's Lame Jokes of
35:14
Speaker 3: the Week. All the best singers, the best one-liners.
