Hour 4 - Round 1: Knockout · The Ben Maller Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Boom! Shakalaka! It's our number four! Hour four, ready to go.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: And here in hour number four, we talk about the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: big game of the night. Rare and appropriate NBA basketball.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: A good storyline here. A couple of former co-workers not
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: happy with each other anymore. The 76ers got run off
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the court by the Boston Celtics, but the substory is
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the story. Was the 76ers star Jalen Brown being petty
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: by ignoring his ex-Celtics teammate Jason Tatum prior to the game?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Or is everyone overreacting to that interaction? And are we
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: buying Doc Rivers' walkback on his explanation on saying that
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Giannis is not a high IQ player? That criticism of
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the Greek freak, we'll talk about that. And did the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Steelers dodge a bullet or did they overreact? They had
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a trade in place to acquire wide receiver Calvin Ridley.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: They backed out because of his airport drama. We will
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: take a look at that situation as well. All of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it coming your way right about now. Here it is,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: hour number four. Have a glorious hump day on this
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: 11th day of November. Well, round number one, a knockout
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: for the green team. Welcome in the beginning of another

  Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are in the

  Speaker 1: Courtesy Flusher and Mouthwash Mike in Vegas agree with Hank
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: in Tokyo. They like when I talk about DraftKings. I said, well,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that's very kind of you to say, and I guess
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I should probably do it. I should probably talk about that,
• 3:10

• 3:47
  Speaker 1: of those matchups, those marquee matchups, we got one of
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: those to talk about. And that is our lead this
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: hour as we go to Philadelphia, the birthplace of our
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: freedom back in the day. the original capital of the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: United States. So Philadelphia, the much-anticipated first matchup of the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: season between the 76ers and the Celtics by George. Paul
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: George hit not one, not two, not three, not four,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: not five, six three-pointers, had 36 points. You know it's
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a regular season game. In his return to Philadelphia, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that helped lead the Celtics past the Sixers. in a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: blowout or just a route, a route, route, whatever you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: want to call it. However, that is not the story.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: We're not going to get too worked up about a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: mid-November NBA game in terms of the outcome. It doesn't
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: really matter. The reason that we're talking about that is
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: not the undercard, which was the game. We're talking about
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the main event. The main event was all about the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: former besties, based on what I've read. We're never former besties,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: but they were teammates. They were comrades, Jalen Brown and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum, locking horns for the first time in a
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: regular season game since the big trade that shook up
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the basketball world, sending Jalen Brown, the finals MVP, a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: couple years back to the Delaware Valley. So if you
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: did not see the game, we're not watching, it was
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: on NBC. I noticed that Mike Tirico is still out.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: He's on the injured list. So the prodigy Took over there.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Noah Eagle, he called the game. So Jalen Brown and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum, they stayed away from each other during the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: pregame warm-ups ahead of the game. There were cameras following
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: them around. And first time these guys have gone against
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: each other, as we said, since the summer trade. And Tatum,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: right before tip-off, Jason Tatum tried to dap up Brown.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: A little dap up. That's what men do. We dap
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: up before the opening tip. And then he attempted to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: do that with like a little tap on the shoulder,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a little thump on the chest. He was completely ignored
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: by Jalen Brown. Now, it is interesting to know that
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown did acknowledge everyone else at the end of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the game. But he did not have niceties, Jalen Brown,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: prior to the game. Now, Tatum then immediately, this is
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the funniest thing. So Jalen Brown completely ghost Jason Tatum.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And then Tatum immediately shakes hands and exchanges a big
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: bro hug with LeBron James. LeBron's like, hey, listen, I'm
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a journeyman NBA player, dude. I've played with every team
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: in the NBA by now. I don't care about your
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: little bad blood. I'm going to hug you, bro. I'm
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: going to hug you. Now, Brown told reporters after the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: game he was asked about the interaction with Tatum. He said, quote,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just focused on coming out and doing what's best
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: for my team. That's right off SportsCliché. com. Right off SportsCliché. com.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Everything else was just, to be honest, I wasn't paying attention.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown said, seemingly laughing under his breath, although he
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: didn't actually laugh. That is a good jumping-off point. Let
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question. Was the 76ers star Jalen Brown
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: being petty? Was he being petty, ignoring his Celtics teammate
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum? Or is everyone just overreacting? So I've got
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Chuck E. Cheese. crusty the clown and nutritional deficiency and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: we'll mix all of these things together we'll match them
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: together and we're gonna have a big old chunk of
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: gabagoo on some bread we'll have the baba ganoush and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: we'll slap that on there and then we'll enjoy a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: side of jambalaya for benjamin now first of all I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: have no problem with Jalen Brown. I have issues with
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, some of the other stuff. But in terms
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of this, I don't really have an issue with Jalen
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Brown giving Jason Tatum the cold shoulder. Brown doesn't seem
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: like a social butterfly to me. In fact, I got
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to tell you, I found it. The word I will
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: use is refreshing. Refreshing. In the age of, we don't
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: really hate each other, we love each other, we're all
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: mano a mano, roasting marshmallows over an open fire and
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: singing kumbaya, I found it a throwback. Like, there seemed
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to be something there. Now, is Jalen Brown leaning into this?
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Is Jalen Brown embellishing a little bit? Probably so. Probably so.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But there is a level of dislike and... we talked
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: about this in previous episodes of the show, like Tatum
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: is a social butterfly. He wants everyone to like him.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And at least that's his image publicly. And it bothers
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: him greatly that Jalen Brown thinks Jason Tatum's an a-hole.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: That troubles Tatum a lot. So if you believe somebody,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: just look at this objectively from Jalen Brown's perspective. Let
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: me make my elevator pitch. If you believe somebody helped
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: run you out of town, like, He was with the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Celtics for a long time. They were together, Jalen Brown
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and Jason Tatum and all that. And if you thought
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Tatum played a role in your departure from a team
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you wanted to be on, why would you greet him
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: like a long-lost fraternity brother? You wouldn't. Not everybody needs
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to join the Jason Tatum Appreciation Society. And I know Tatum,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: he's got a lot of big corporate success. Endorsement deals, Mr.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Popular smiling for cameras, telling you to buy shoes from
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan and drink Gatorade and AT & T. And
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I remember, I don't think he does this anymore, but
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: he was on those Ruffle potato chips for a while.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I think it was Ruffles. Anyway, meanwhile, listen, Brown's walking
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: around Walt Tatum's got all these endorsements. Jalen Brown's walking
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: around with bitter beer face. Convinced. that Jason Tatum catapulted
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: him out of Boston like a defective SpaceX rocket, and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Brown treated Tatum like a telemarketer. You ever get that
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: telemarketing call? All right, let's go right there. We'll move
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that call to the junk folder, delete that call, boom,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: delete that, block that number. That's it. You get a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: call from a telemarketer where you're eating dinner. You just
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: ignore it. Now, unfortunately, there's one itsy-bitsy tiny problem. If
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you're going to be the goon, if you're going to be, hey,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I'm the enforcer, and if you're going to be that guy,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you're going to be enforcer guy, tough guy, I'm not
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: going to be friend guy, you cannot then play the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: game and finish with a minus 27. That's not hitting
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: on all cylinders. That's hitting on no cylinders. Do you
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: realize the Sixers would have been better? They outscored the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Celtics when Brown was off the court. Minus 27. He
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: got stomped out like a cigarette back in the day
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: on the sidewalk. You cannot walk around like you're Darth
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Vader and then play like one of those old school
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: manufacturing robots at Chuck E. Cheese. Cannot do it. And
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: he did it. And listen, all these guys are rich.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: They all live a charmed life. Brown's filthy rich, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: so is Tatum. The reunion had the warmth of a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: trip to divorce court. And Brown's revenge tour, well, it
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: was unexpected. You thought, well, he's going to go out
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: there and have a big game. He wouldn't dap up
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum. And instead, he had a coach ticket, a
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: middle seat between two fat people on the Vomit Comet
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: who hadn't showered since 2022. P-U. All right, secondly, to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the peacock we go. We hobble around to the peacock.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: We have a follow-up, follow-up to the verbal rhubarb between
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: a former NBA coach and a two-time MVP, Doc Rivers,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the good doctor. Not a real doctor. Doc Rivers has
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: discovered a revolutionary language for where insulting someone's basketball IQ
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: is actually a compliment. Who knew? Well, we celebrated Doc.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: We said, listen, Doc is bitter. He's absolutely correct, but
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: he's bitter. This came after calling Giannis Adetokounmpo difficult to coach.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: So Doc is doing the backpedal drill at the combine,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the scouting combine. He's He's backpedaling like a circus clown
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: on a unicycle, claiming that he meant basketball instincts, not intelligence. Yeah,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: that's the ticket. Rivers even says he apologized via text message,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and Giannis said to have accepted his apology. Another NBA drama.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: All right, question. Are we buying Doc Rivers' walkback explanation?
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Former Bucs coach Doc Rivers' walk-back explanation on his Giannis
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Adetokounmpo criticism. So I thought about this for about 10 seconds.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I'm giving this side.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Eye.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: This is industrial-strength, USDA-approved, grade-A fertilizer is what it is.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Crank up the spin doctors, right? Doc told an uncomfortable
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: truth about the Greek freak. It got picked up. It
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: went viral. And now, after getting in the algorithm, he
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: is desperately trying to put the toothpaste back in the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: tube without any of it missing. Now, I do understand.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: We mentioned this in a previous episode of the show.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: In basketball's sacred brotherhood, Doc Rivers committed the ultimate taboo.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: He said the quiet part out loud. You're not supposed
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: to do that. Cannot do it. So now he's out there,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and he's going back and back. It's like a Krusty
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the Clown. He's trying to run backwards. He's got the
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: clown shoes on and all that. But only Doc, only
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Doc Rivers could call you stupid on a Thursday and
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: then claim on a Monday or a Tuesday that he
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: was nominating you as a Rhodes Scholar.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the NBA's greatest excuse maker, Doc Rivers. This guy
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: had a reason. And it was never his fault that
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: these teams he coached underachieved year after year after year
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: after year after year. The guy coached the great loaded
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Lob City Clippers and won squad douche with the Clippers.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Like he's such an excuse maker, such a bull crap artist,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Doc Rivers. I'm convinced he could lose a game of
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: solitaire on his phone and he blamed the digital deck
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of cards. He'd say, well, it's the, it's a thing
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: messed up in the app and that's what happened. Like,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Doc won, I think we can all agree, one of
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the great fluke championships in NBA history in Boston back
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: in 08, many years ago, almost 20 years. And he
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: has been living off that ever since. And he does
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: have the gift for gab. He does have the gift
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: for gab. He's got this Bengali effect. He's got that
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: going for him. It's pretty crazy. You think about living
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: off that. It's like a 65-year-old dude still wearing his
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: high school letterman jacket. Well, you've got to kind of
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: let that go, dude. You've got to let that go.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: You've moved on from that. Doc Rivers, he's just out there.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm now back to annoying him. I am now
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: back to being annoyed by Doc after for one day
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: praising him. All right, final thought. To the bird! To
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh we go. The Steelers, did they make any notable
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: moves at the trade deadline?
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: No.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: They did not. Despite having a clunky offense pittsburgh reportedly
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: did explore trading for titans receiver calvin ridley the gambling
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: receiver prior prior to the deadline and that airport drama
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: killed the deal ridley according to multiple reports clashed with
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: a valet some random valet at the nashville international airport
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: by the way that's a sign you have a lot
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: of money If you're using the valet at the airport,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know any poor people using the valet at
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the airport. You know what I'm saying? So Ridley's made
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: some money. I guess he didn't gamble it all the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: way there. Nashville International Airport, not the Dolly Parton Airport,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: not the Dolly Parton Airport yet. And so Ridley got
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: into it. It was all over a missing parking ticket. Now,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: reports say Ridley grabbed his keys from the valet's hand,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: causing a minor injury. Doesn't sound like much. Titans coach
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Robert Sala running to defend his wide receiver downplayed the incident.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: He said it was a miscommunication. But the Steelers reportedly,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: according to their useful idiots in the media, they got
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: cold feet and they walked away. They said the ixnay
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: on the trade. So that's the part to me which
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: is interesting. And that's the jumping off point on this.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: The question is, Did the Steelers dodge a bullet or
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: did they overreact to Calvin Ridley's airport drama-o-rama? So I
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: thought about this and I said, well, what a crock
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh pierogi propaganda. The Steelers want you to believe
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: that they suddenly found their moral compass. And I say
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: that is a hoagie. That is a sandwich, a sandwich
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: of bologna. If Count Dracula— let me tell you how this
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: works for the Steelers and for every other team in
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the NFL. If Count Dracula could catch 100 passes and
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: score 15 touchdowns and go for 1,200 yards, they'd call
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: his blood-sucking habit an unfortunate nutritional deficiency. It's really not
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that big a deal. You just give him some meds,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: he'll be good to go. Pittsburgh would become the three
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: blind mice— And they'd look the other way, and they'd
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: make excuses, just like Tennessee coach Robert Sala. That little weasel,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Robert Sala. Now, sure, you should judge people. I do
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: believe this. You should judge people on how they treat
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the valets, the people that work the normal jobs. My
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: mama taught me that the same people that you're going
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: to see on your way up the ladder to the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: top of the mountain are the same people you're going
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: to see when you're absolutely cooked and nobody wants to
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: talk to you and you're a loser on the way down.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: And I wasn't there. I don't know what happened exactly.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: There's different versions of the story. There's some that are
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: downplaying what happened at the airport, others that say it
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: was kind of a big deal. I don't think there's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: been any criminal charges, so I'm going to go it's
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: probably not that big a deal, or a check was cut.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Either way, this is not why Pittsburgh bailed. Calvin Ridley
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: is a 31-year-old with six catches for 91 yards and
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: no touchdowns. We're heading into Week 10 of the NFL.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: That means that he should be in some kind of
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: dinosaur museum. He's a football fossil. A football fossil. Now,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the Steelers, they did not somehow discover ethics all of
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: a sudden. they were at the baggage claim. Hold on
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: a sec. They discovered that Calvin Ridley really couldn't play anymore.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: The juice not worth the squeeze, not worth the headache
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: to even make the deal. So Pittsburgh did nothing. They
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: got to spin the story somehow. Because the fans wanted
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: them to do something because they know everyone watching knows
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: unless one of these young players becomes a shining star,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: this team ain't doing anything. There's going to be another
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: wild card weekend loser is what they're going to do.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: But Pittsburgh is dressing up a football decision as some
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: kind of morality play. And that is a job. What
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: kind of job is it? It's a con job. It
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: is a con job is what that is. Well, this
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: is the Ben Maler Show. That would be the show
• 20:38

  Speaker 5: Rhys Davis, host of College Game Day, is with us now.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: And then I'm going home to the BBC, and they're
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: saying Jockovich instead of Jokovich.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Right, because you can't say Jockovich.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: If you do, you know the blowback you're going to
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: get from the American audience.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: And a whole lot of this.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: Listen to college football with Stugatz and the Bear on
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: You get your podcasts. The Ben Maller Show on Fox
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio as we continue on. And the woman who
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: sang the song was involved in a.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Guess it wasn't a rhubarb it was more of a
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: like a acting inappropriately at a bar right down the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: street from the fox sports radio studios.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: I wish i was there yeah you.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Think she's gone back you think britney goes back to
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: that bar i think like i got in some trouble
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: there i probably probably shouldn't go.
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: There anymore i think that the serving staff also said
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: she was acting weird so i bet she doesn't go.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Back it's called the Blue Dog or something like that.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: What is it?
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Blue Dog Tavern, yeah. Yeah, Blue Dog Tavern.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: It's right next door to us, actually.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like two stores. There's a chicken restaurant.
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there's an Opoyo Loco, a liquor store.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and then that.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right there. All right, anyway, on that note, if
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: you would like to be part of this show, you
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: can call in at 877-99-ON-FOX. If you have a hot take,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the NFL trade deadline is done. Cowboys didn't do anything.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: A lot of chatter. Not a lot of things happening.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: There were a few trades. It could have been worse.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: It has been worse.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: The Broncos made a trade.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: I texted Eddie Garcia to ask how good that player is.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: Dian Henley? Is that his name?
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's his name. I don't think he's dying.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: I have no idea how that first name is pronounced.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: He's a captain of the Chargers, a defensive captain.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah. I had never heard of him. But, yeah,
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Eddie said he's a good player, so, you know.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: You think Eddie's breaking down the All-22? You think he's
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: out there with his telestrator?
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: I think he's at every game, so, you know.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's out there. He might be sleeping.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I've seen Eddie. He tailgates. They actually have a little
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: section of tailgating, and Eddie's out there chowing down on
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the tailgate. I'll put my stick right in your mouth.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: They really love Eddie. They give him a lot of food.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: And then during the game, the Chargers are so bad,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: you could take a three-hour nap. Yeah, that's a good point.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And you wouldn't miss anything. I mean, man, that is
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: a bad team, man, a bad effing team. Anyway, if
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I did not give out their– Twitter accounts, Lorena's at
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: FSR Tech, Queen Coop at A Bronco Fan, and you
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: know the drill. Your comments can and will be used
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: against you in the court of sports radio. Callie Living
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: enjoys the gift of gab on the show. By the way,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Robbie the Mariner fan devastated, beaten, and broken by the
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: cheap shot, the shrapnel directed at him by Lorena. Your thoughts?
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: I am glad he was listening. Men who listen is
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: a great trait. So you know what? You're in the
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: lineup now, Robbie.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Robbie's got a lot of good qualities. I'm telling you, man.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Robbie's been great on my mailbag. I've had him on
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a lot. He's been on more than anybody.
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: He's reliable.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: He's dependable. That's right. All right. Moving man Matt writes
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: in with his dog, Louie. He says, well, I waited
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: 18 years for a positive New York Giants monologue mention,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: and less than 24 hours later, You were taking a
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: dump on our number one wide receiver. Diva lives matter.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Hashtag Giants hater. It's from Moving Man Man. Say what
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you want, but that's a case where it needed to
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: be said. Late Night Drug Tester says, is the Fifth
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Hour podcast going to have a detailed breakdown of the
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: rhythmic chanting by Winnipeg Jet fans on Connor Hellebuck's return? Yeah, yeah,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that's exactly what we'll be doing. Unless we
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: don't do that on the Friday 5th hour. But he
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: didn't play, right? I did not watch the game. I
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: was watching the Celtics game. Because why not? But if
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: he had played, I actually would have gone over and
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: checked that out. But they announced he wasn't going to
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: play because they had a better chance to win. The
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: nerds said they had a better chance to win. And
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I know you got booed and all that, and there
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: were threats made and whatnot. There you go. Wonderful. Let's
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: take some calls. It is a call-in show. If you
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: would like to be part, you can join us at
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: 877-99 on Fox. That's 877-9966369. We do need some contestants.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: We have Password, the word game of the stars, coming
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: up in a bit. Let's go to Double D Trucker. Hello,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Double D Trucker. in the Keystone State somewhere there. Hello,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Double D. Welcome.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Ben, Lorena, and Coop. How are you doing
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: this morning?
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I would be a Jackson,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: but not Lamar Jackson because he's probably out for the year.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my topic. So I think the Ravens would
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: make a huge mistake if they re-sign him. He has
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: become a charter member of a very– poor group of athletes,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Anthony Rendon and Kawhi Leonard are the charter members of
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: the club, of athletes who have figured out how to
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: get paid without ever playing or, in some cases, not
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: even caring about whether they play. I don't think the
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Ravens can financially strap their franchise, tie a couple hundred
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: million dollars to this dude and expect anything more than
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: they have gotten since they've signed him. I think it
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: would be a massive mistake.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: All right, so first of all, I don't disagree with you. Secondly,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to sign him. So, yes, I
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: think they'll sign him. And you know why. We live
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: in the age of FOMO. Look, Kyler Murray did not
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: deserve to get paid by the Arizona Cardinals. They paid
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: him because they were worried they might let him go
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: somewhere else and he'd be good. Well, he finally went
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: somewhere else, and the guy blows, right? And that happens
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: all the time. These guys get paid. Look, the Chargers,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: they paid their quarterback a ton of money. This guy
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: stinks now, Justin Herbert. They gave him the big contract.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: He had been a terrible playoff quarterback. It's almost– I can't–
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the only guy that might– I guess he's going to
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: get paid now, C.J. Stroud in Houston. But the Texans
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: didn't pay him. He didn't deserve the contract. No, he's
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: played better this year. I still would be skeptical if
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I were the Texans to pay C.J. Stroud. I still
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: don't trust the guy, even though the numbers are better.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: But I agree with you. In general, I agree with you.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: But I think you're probably around my age. We grew
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: up in the era where you had to earn the money.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: These guys, eh. Yep. I'm 56 years old.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: And I'm definitely get off my lawn guy. That's for sure.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think that happens to every man when
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: they turn in their 50s. They're a get-off-my-lawn guy. That's
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: what happens.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, way, way back when they drafted him, I
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: don't know if you've ever seen the movie Booty Call
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: with Jamie Foxx. When you draft a guy who looks
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: like buns to run your franchise, you have made a mess.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, listen, Lamar's been a good regular season player.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: He just, you know, he's missing a lot.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Good line. Go away. All right. What do
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: you want me to do with that? Geez. Call more.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: That was actually a decent call. Now we'll make up
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: for that. Let's go to Hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Hollering James. Welcome. Why would you ask her? I'm the
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: host of the show.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Why would you do that?
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: How about this? If I put you on my podcast
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: this weekend, will you not play Password? Would you rather
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: be on the podcast or would you rather be on Password?
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I know, that's what I'm saying. So do you want
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: to be on it again or do you want to
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: be on Password?
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Well, that's because you didn't answer your phone.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right. I'll put you on hold.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: We'll determine that in another moment. Let's say hello to
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Hugh on the 5. And he is next on I-5.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like he's having a conversation with somebody else
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: and not us. All right, we'll move on from that.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Marcel in Brooklyn. Hello, Marcel.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Welcome.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Happy Veterans Day, Ben, Lorena, and Coop-D-Loop. And to all
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: of you representing iHeartRadio fam, thank you for your service
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: and sacrifice.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Well, let me just clarify. As much as I believe
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: iHeart is a military company, we are not part of
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: the armed services. Oh, yes, it is.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: But iHeartRadio is guaranteed human and the home of the
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: iHeart podcast.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: That is guaranteed human, not guaranteed military. So we don't
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: want any stolen valor here, Marcel. That's a very serious
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: thing when you join the military. Well, my pops have been.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Serving the Army for so many years. And, of course,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: the United States Army is a member of our Armed
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Forces family.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Did you consider, Marcel, joining the military? If you had
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: joined the military, which branch of the military would you
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: have joined?
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: I'd join the Army, just like my pops did.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Army. I got you. All right. And what
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: kind of soldier would you be, Marcel?
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Well, believe it or not, I'm just a cadet.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: Interesting.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Did you see in that MAAC football game yesterday, there
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: was a penalty on Miami of Ohio because they put
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: goalposts on the scoreboard while the other team, I think
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the University of Ohio, was trying to kick a field goal.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Wow. I've never seen that before. Mean either. You did
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: like a mind trick on the kicker.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Mean either.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: What bit are we doing today, Marcel? What's the bit
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: of the day?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: TV Picks is coming up.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, TV Picks.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: He's back. Rob in Vegas. I saw him on my X,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: for those of you who follow me at MR29. And
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: he is definitely back to play along.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Now, who was it? Was it Rob in Vegas or
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: was it the milkman that– led you down the path
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: to report the Titanic had hit an iceberg?
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Just Robin Vegas, dude!
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Was it Robin Vegas? All right, well, good job by
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Robin Vegas. And for those who don't know, one of
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the great moments in history of the show, Marcel in
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn became the first person on radio to report that
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: the Titanic hit an iceberg as a breaking news story.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: And the reason, you're probably wondering, how is he the
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: first person... To report it, it's because radio did not
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: exist when the Titanic hit the iceberg. There was no radio.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: They had Morse code and that whole thing anyway.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Also, in other breaking overnight news while everyone is slept,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: the RMS Titanic has reportedly hit an iceberg while it's
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: mating from London to New York. This is blast from
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: the past, Ben. Believe me.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: That's a great report. I don't have a lot of time.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: By the way, I've got to rip Diana Rossini for
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: a second, okay?
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: So she has got some gambling podcast thing. And so
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I don't listen to that crap. Diana Rossini? Diana Rossini?
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: You know who that is?
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: She's from ESPN, and then she got fired. But now
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: she's got doing on her own.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's with some gambling company. But
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: she refused to talk about stooping Mike Vrabel. That's the
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: only reason we want to hear what that was like.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: And then the other thing, which was an all-time, like
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: you talk about being totally obtuse, Diana Rossini, who said
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: she considers herself a role model for women.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: What? Yeah.
• 34:48
