• 3:33
  Speaker 1: So our lead story this hour is from Buffalo, where
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the Bills' Josh Allen didn't have the sexiest game of
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: all time. But he didn't have to have a sexy game.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: He still finished with over 300 yards of total offense.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I think it was 319, and he had a touchdown.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Not one, not two, but three. one on the ground
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. And so Buffalo obliterated the once proud Ravens,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the poets playing like a bunch of poets, 36 to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: 10 Buffalo improves to six and one on the season.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: The better story though, in the losing locker room. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: if you have not heard by now, perhaps not after
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: missing not one, not two, but three games being accused
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of malingering, uh, And not rushing back, going AWOL with
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: a high left ankle sprain. Ravens quarterback, the face of
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the franchise, Lamar Jackson, has now suffered another snap, crackle,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: pop to his thumb. Oh, my thumb! His right thumb.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: The first offensive play against Buffalo. Greg Rousseau struck his hand.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And that was that. Jackson will undergo surgery tomorrow. In
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the coming days, on his right thumb, he was placed
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: on injured reserve. Guarantees that he'll miss at least four games.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Jesse Minter, the coach of the Ravens, acknowledged that Jackson
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: likely is out for the season. That that's it. He's done. Saying, quote, potentially,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: but we'll see where it's at. He declined to confirm
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: whether the thumb was broken or dislocated, although the social
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: media doctors seem to think it's broken they think it's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: broken so then then backup tyler huntley came in and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: well that's good well no he suffered a turf toe
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: injury yeah so turf toe and they went to the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: emergency third string rookie quarter you see this guy's name
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: by the way do you see the third string quarterback
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: for the for the for the baltimore ravens no I'm
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: going to try to pronounce it. Joe Faniano. It definitely
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: does not look like Joe Faniano. And he played like
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: he won a raffle. He was the emergency quarterback. He
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: came in there. He also apparently injured himself.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yikes.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: All right, so Baltimore used three quarterbacks all in the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: first half. They end up losing by 26 points. The story, though,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: is what this means to the season, so that is
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: a good jumping-off point. Let us discuss the question. Are
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the Ravens officially cooked, baked, broiled, and served now with
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a big scoop full of disappointment? that Lamar Jackson is
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: headed to surgery on his thumb and likely out for
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the rest of the year. So I've got Gordon Ramsey,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: dependency program, and rebranded. And we will combine all of
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: these things together, and we're going to have the gabagool
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: for Tillio. He's in Florida. You've got to have the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: gabagool for Tillio. And then we're going to have the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: baba ghanoush, and we'll toss in some matzo ball soup.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And for Ben Jammin... A little jambalaya. No gumbo. No gumbo.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Just some jambalaya. All right. So first of all, we
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: give the Ravens, without Lamar Jackson, two thumbs down. Two
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: thumbs down. Unfortunately, Lamar cannot provide two thumbs. He can
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: only give us one thumbs down. So it's only one
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: thumbs down. But it should be two. It should be
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: two thumbs down there. He's got one healthy thumb. And
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that's it. So Lamar has proven in the last couple
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of years, based on the way the Ravens have played,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: different coaches, Lamar Jackson, he's missed a fair amount of time.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And Lamar is the straw that stirs the drink. That's it.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: He's the straw, the drink, the bartender, the liquor license.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So he's not just the straw. I mean, he's a
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: little bit of everything. He's got it all. And without
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: his razzle-dazzle. And he's a regular season player. He's not
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a good playoff player, Lamar. We all know that. He
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: sucks in big games in the playoffs. However, in the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: regular season, pound for pound, he's as good as any
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks in the regular season, as his record
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: would indicate. And so without the razzle-dazzle and the entertainment
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: value and all that stuff, the Ravens are a mess.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: They're about as entertaining without Lamar Jackson as a PowerPoint
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: presentation at a city council meeting about sewer maintenance. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, no, that's no good. I don't want that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: The Ravens have gone from having championship aspirations to just
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: hoping somebody... can complete something other than a screen pass.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Just do something other than a screen pass. In Baltimore,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: they've got to find a carbon copy of Nick Foles.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: They're Nick Foles. Unfortunately, the copy machine is out of toner,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and that's a problem. So they aren't just cooked, the Ravens,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: at this particular point. They are Kingsford charcoal on the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: outside and extra capital D disappointment on the inside. In fact,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the Ravens are so cooked. How cooked are they? They're
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: so cooked that Gordon Ramsey even screamed burnt, burnt, burnt. Yes.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: The fat lady. Now she is not singing. The obese
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: woman is not singing yet. However, she is backstage. As
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: they say at the opera, she's currently gargling saltwater. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: she's got the music out. She's looking over the lyrics.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And she's ready to start singing. She's ready to go.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: The orchestra is actually packing up at this point. The
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Baltimore Orchestra. The Baltimore Ravens are Dunskies. Dunskies in terms
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: of any reasonable path to anything good. In terms of
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: making a big playoff run. Highly, highly unlikely. For every
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Kurt Warner endorsement. Nick Foles, there are 7,000 guys that
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: blow at the quarterback position that step up and they're bad. Now, secondly,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: so we now take a step back and let's revisit
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson bet on himself. Remember, his contract is a
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: bit of a quagmire. They could not work out a
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: new deal. They were at Loggerheads, Lamar, and the Ravens.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: And so we are heading towards a fork in the road.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. He has an $ 84
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: million salary cap number next year. Well, I am a
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: salary cap truther. That is a non-negotiable situation, $ 84 million,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: which means they have to move some money around and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: they have to rework some things. And you move this
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: over there and you move the thingamajig up there and
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the whatchamacallit and the doohickey and you move that stuff around.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And that way you get the contract to work out.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: So they have to get a new deal, or the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: other option is divorce court. Go to divorce court. So
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the question, are the Ravens and Lamar Jackson headed towards
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the aforementioned divorce court, or the other option is Baltimore
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: will renew their vows, re-up Lamar Jackson, And continue the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: marriage built on a couple of MVP trophies, a lot
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: of medical bills, and some late-night food runs at the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: local food truck. A lot of promises. A lot of
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl promises unfulfilled. So, are the Ravens and Lamar
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Jackson headed to a contract diversity? The Malar odds. The
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Malar odds at plus 150. that Lamar Jackson remains Baltimore's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: QB1 going forward in 2027. Now that leaves a 40% chance,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a 40% chance that we head towards a little village
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: called Splitsville. And the reason I'm not going higher than 40%
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: that Lamar's played his last game in Baltimore, the Ravens
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: have created their own football dependency program. with Lamar. Now, Lamar,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I bet you if you gave him some truth serum,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: he would much rather play for the Miami Dolphins. From there,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: that would be his jam. The Dolphins suck, and they're
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: terrible and all that. Was there a path for Lamar
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to end up playing in Miami? It's a long shot,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: but in terms of the dependency, remember, Lamar bet on himself,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: thought he would play well, and he would get more money.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: It doesn't look like that's the case right now. The
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Ravens have played 21 games since 2019 without Lamar Jackson,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and they have a 333 winning percentage, half the sign
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: of the devil, when Lamar has not played, averaging 17.6
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: points per game without Lamar Jackson. Now this season, Baltimore
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: has scored six touchdowns in 18 quarters with Jackson not
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: on the field. And the reason I believe they will
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: figure something out is unless Lamar raises holy hell, which
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: it's always a wild card. The reason I'm going with
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: it works or not is Baltimore will suffer from, and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: they are suffering from FOMO. If they miss Lamar Jackson,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: then they have the fear of missing out on what
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: if Lamar goes somewhere else and ends up getting it
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: done and wins and all that stuff. And so, look,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you can... You can love Lamar Jackson, the player, and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: still question Lamar Jackson as a long-term investment. Those two
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: things are not mutually exclusive. And when you think about
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: where the Ravens are at this particular point and where
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Lamar is, okay, the Lamar Jackson marching and chowder society,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: anyone that questions Lamar long-term, they lose their mind. You
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. You're a boomer. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But Lamar is approaching 30. Now, 30 in the big
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: picture is not all that old in life. But in
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the sporting life, it's getting up there. And the mileage,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: he's got a lot of mileage. He's got the mileage
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: like a cross-country Greyhound bus. A lot of miles. He's
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: got the price tag of a Gulfstream. And the Ravens
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: should get a deal. You would think, I know the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: economy of football is only up, it never goes down.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Lamar bet on himself, the Ravens gambled that Lamar would
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: not get the job done this year, and he's not
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: gotten the job done. He's been hurt, he's not been available.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: So the Ravens won. The Ravens won. They bet that
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Lamar would not be able to succeed, and they've been right. Lamar,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: because of injury, has not been able to get the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: job done. The question is, what kind of discount do
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: they get? Are they going to get a little bit
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: off the top there? Not going to have to pay
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: him the full amount? We don't know. Lamar's become a
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: seasonal attraction at this point. That's not a compliment. He's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a full-time franchise quarterback at this point,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: just a seasonal attraction. All right, final thought to the hoodie.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: What?
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I realize that the Bill Belichick NFL storyline is no
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: longer a thing, but over the weekend, Over the weekend,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: if you saw it, you saw it. They claim that
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the North Carolina football coach, Bill Belichick, who's in his mid-70s,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and his lady friend, the interesting... There's some words I
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: could use. I will not use them. Jordan Hudson. Jordan Hudson,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: who is 25... And TMZ had the big story over
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the weekend that they broke up, that Belichick, who's 74,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and Jordan Hudson, 25, quietly split. They actually broke up
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: at the end of 2025. They remain friends and they're
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: business partners, but they are no longer doing the making whoopee.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: There's no bow-chicka-wow-wow, according to TMZ. That's not going on. Now,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: People claims that the People magazine, I always get my
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: NFL news or college football news from People magazine, They
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: claim that Jordan Hudson is dating somebody else. However, the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: reason I bring this up, a local Raleigh television reporter,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the great Pat Welter. I have no idea who that is,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: but Pat Welter, a TV reporter in Raleigh, disputing the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: TMZ report boots on the ground. He says, wait a minute.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: He says, wait a minute here. that that is not
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: the case, that they are still together. And he says
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: that he has talked to people close to the situation
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and there is no breakup. And neither has publicly confirmed
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: that they've broken up. Meanwhile, Belichick and North Carolina, they
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: are 4-4. Another tough loss for the Tar Heels over
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the weekend. And this has generated much more attention, this
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: relationship stuff, much more attention than the situation with the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: football team. All right, so the question, where are you at?
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: We have conflicting reports. You know I love my conflicting
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: tabloid reports. There are conflicting reports out of the tabloids
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: here regarding the Belichick love life. So I find the
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: whole thing, capital H, hilarious.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick spent two decades fooling a number of opposing quarterbacks,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: keeping them guessing. People thought he was the smartest guy around.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Now they think he's an idiot. Back then they thought
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: he was a genius, Belichick. And now he's got the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: entire industrial complex of gossip. Big gossip everywhere. Utterly confused
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: about whether he is actually single or not single. And
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: there's other people say, who the hell cares? It doesn't matter.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: TMZ is normally right about these things. Now, they've had
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: some royal F-ups over there at the Harvey Levin compound there,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: which is no longer in Hollywood, by the way. They're
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: over in the South Bay of L.A. because that's where
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: they all live, the people that work on the show.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: So they don't want to have to drive to Hollywood.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: So they live. right near the ocean, but they're saying this,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and they're very rarely wrong about these kind of things.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: The local reporter was like, not so fast, my friend.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: So what's going on? So the hoodie has apparently installed
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: a cloak of invisibility about his romance, his love life here,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: leaving the media, the tabloid media, running in circles trying
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of what's going on. Now, honestly,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is running the romantic flea flicker Is what
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: he's doing. And nobody seems to have a clue. These
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: are two opposite reports. You know about 180 degrees from
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: each other here. That's where we are. And the man,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, has rebranded. Belichick has rebranded. His signature scandal
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: with the New England Patriots back in the day was Spygate.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I guess we can call this Dategate. And what's going
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: on with Dategate? Who knows? Who knows? And the paparazzo
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: losing their mind trying to analyze every single glance somewhere
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: in a dark film room. Belichick is just grumbling. And
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: he's like, we're on to Cincinnati. No, you don't play Cincinnati.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: We're on to Cincinnati. Well, you don't play Cincinnati. You're
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: just wrong. By the way... there was a story that
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Belichick's lady friend there, Jordan Hudson, skipped out on North
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Carolina's game with Miami that she was not spotted at
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the game. But she had been at the previous games.
• 20:04

• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the media loves to make a big deal about it. However,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: there's a catch. There's a bit of a catch. And

• 23:26
  Speaker 1: our lead story this hour is from Buffalo, where the Bills,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen, didn't have the sexiest game of all time.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: But he didn't have to have a sexy game. He
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: still finished with over 300 yards of total offense. I
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: think it was 319. And he had a touchdown. Not one,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: not two, but three. One on the ground and whatnot.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And so Buffalo obliterated the once-proud Ravens, the Poets, playing
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: like a bunch of poets, 36-10. Buffalo improves to 6-1
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: on the season. The better story, though, in the losing
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: locker room, and if you have not heard by now,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: perhaps not, after missing not one, not two, but three games,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: being accused of malingering... And not rushing back, going AWOL
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: with a high left ankle sprain. Ravens quarterback, the face
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: of the franchise, Lamar Jackson, has now suffered another snap, crackle,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: pop to his thumb. Oh, my thumb! His right thumb.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: The first offensive play against Buffalo. Greg Rousseau struck his hand.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: And that was that. Jackson will undergo surgery tomorrow. In
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the coming days, on his right thumb, he was placed
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: on injured reserve. Guarantees that he'll miss at least four games.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Jesse Minter, the coach of the Ravens, acknowledged that Jackson
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: likely is out for the season. That that's it. He's done. Saying, quote, potentially,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: but we'll see where it's at. He declined to confirm
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: whether the thumb was broken or dislocated, although the social
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: media doctors seem to think it's broken. They think it's broken.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: So then backup Tyler Huntley came in, and, well, that's good. Well, no,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: he suffered a turf toe injury. Yeah, turf toe, and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: they went to the emergency third-string rookie quarterback. You see
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: this guy's name, by the way? Do you see the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: third-string quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens now? I'm going to
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: try to pronounce it. Joe Faniano. It definitely does not
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: look like Joe Faniano. And he played like he won
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a raffle. He was the emergency quarterback. He came in there.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: He also apparently injured himself.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Yikes.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: All right, so Baltimore used three quarterbacks all in the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: first half. They end up losing by 26 points. The story, though,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: is what this means to the season, so that is
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: a good jumping-off point. Let us discuss the question. Are
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the Ravens officially cooked, baked, broiled, and served now with
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: a big scoop full of disappointment? that Lamar Jackson is
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: headed to surgery on his thumb and likely out for
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the rest of the year. So I've got Gordon Ramsey,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: dependency program, and rebranded. And we will combine all of
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: these things together, and we're going to have the gabagool
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: for Tillio. He's in Florida. You've got to have the
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: gabagool for Tillio. And then we're going to have the
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: baba ghanoush, and we'll toss in some matzo ball soup.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: And for Ben Jammin... A little jambalaya. No gumbo. No gumbo.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Just some jambalaya. All right. So first of all, we
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: give the Ravens, without Lamar Jackson, two thumbs down. Two
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: thumbs down. Unfortunately, Lamar cannot provide two thumbs. He can
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: only give us one thumbs down. So it's only one
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: thumbs down. But it should be two. It should be
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: two thumbs down there. And he's got one healthy thumb.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: And that's it. So Lamar has proven. In the last
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: couple of years, based on the way the Ravens have played,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: different coaches, Lamar Jackson, he's missed a fair amount of time.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: And Lamar is the straw that stirs the drink. That's it.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: He's the straw, the drink, the bartender, the liquor license.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: So he's not just the straw. I mean, he's a
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: little bit of everything. He's got it all. And without
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: his razzle-dazzle. And he's a regular season player. He's not
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: a good playoff player, Lamar. We all know that. He
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: sucks in big games in the playoffs. However, in the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: regular season, pound for pound, he's as good as any
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks in the regular season, as his record
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: would indicate. And so without the razzle-dazzle and the entertainment
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: value and all that stuff, the Ravens are a mess.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: They're about as entertaining without Lamar Jackson as a PowerPoint
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: presentation at a city council meeting about sewer maintenance. And
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, no, that's no good. I don't want that.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: The Ravens have gone from having championship aspirations to just
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: hoping somebody. can complete something other than a screen pass.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Just do something other than a screen pass. In Baltimore,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: they've got to find a carbon copy of Nick Foles.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: They're Nick Foles. Unfortunately, the copy machine is out of toner,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and that's a problem. So they aren't just cooked, the Ravens,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: at this particular point. They are Kingsford charcoal on the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: outside and extra capital D disappointment on the inside. In fact,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: the Ravens are so cooked. How cooked are they? They're
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: so cooked that Gordon Ramsey even screamed burnt, burnt, burnt. Yes.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: The fat lady. Now she is not singing. The obese
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: woman is not singing yet. However, she is backstage. As
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: they say at the opera, she's currently gargling saltwater. And
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: she's got the music out. She's looking over the lyrics
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and she's ready to start singing. She's ready to go.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: The orchestra is actually packing up at this point. The
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Baltimore Orchestra, the Baltimore Raven. are Dunskies. Dunskies in terms
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: of any reasonable path to anything good. In terms of
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: making a big playoff run. Highly, highly unlikely. For every
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Kurt Warner and Nick Foles, there are 7,000 guys that
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: blow at the quarterback position that step up. And they're back. Now, secondly,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: so we now take a step back and let's revisit
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson bet on himself. Remember, his contract is a
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: bit of a quagmire. They could not work out a
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: new deal. They were at loggerheads, Lamar and the Ravens.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: And so we are heading towards a fork in the road.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. He has an $ 84
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: million salary cap number next year. Well, I am a
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: salary cap truther. That is a non-negotiable situation, $ 84 million,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: which means they have to move some money around and
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: they have to rework some things. And you move this
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: over there and you move the thingamajig up there and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the whatchamacallit and the doohickey and you move that stuff around.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: And that way you get the contract to work out.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: So they have to get a new deal, or the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: other option is divorce court. Go to divorce court. So
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the question, are the Ravens and Lamar Jackson headed towards
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the aforementioned divorce court, or the other option is Baltimore
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: will renew their vows, re-up Lamar Jackson, And continue the marriage,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: built on a couple of MVP trophies, a lot of
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: medical bills, and some late-night food runs at the local
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: food truck. A lot of promises. A lot of Super
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Bowl promises unfulfilled. So, are the Ravens and Lamar Jackson
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: headed to a contract diversity? The Malar odds. The Malar
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: odds at plus 150% that Lamar Jackson remains Baltimore's QB1
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: going forward in 2027. Now that leaves a 40% chance,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: a 40% chance that we head towards a little village
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: called Splitsville. And the reason I'm not going higher than 40%
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: that Lamar's played his last game in Baltimore, the Ravens
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: have created their own football dependency program. with Lamar. Now, Lamar,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I bet you if you gave him some truth serum,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: he would much rather play for the Miami Dolphins. From there,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: that would be his jam. The Dolphins suck, and they're
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: terrible and all that. Was there a path for Lamar
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: to end up playing in Miami? It's a long shot,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: but in terms of the dependency, remember, Lamar bet on himself,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: thought he would play well, and He would get more money.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: It doesn't look like that's the case right now. The
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Ravens have played 21 games since 2019 without Lamar Jackson,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and they have a 333 winning percentage, half the sign
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: of the devil, when Lamar has not played, averaging 17.6
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: points per game without Lamar Jackson. Now, this season, Baltimore
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: has scored six touchdowns in 18 quarters with Jackson not
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: on the field. And the reason I believe they will
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: figure something out is unless Lamar raises holy hell, which
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: it's always a wild card. The reason I'm going with
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: it works or not is Baltimore will suffer from, and
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: they are suffering from FOMO. If they miss Lamar Jackson,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: then they have the fear of missing out on what
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: if Lamar goes somewhere else and ends up getting it
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: done and wins and all that stuff. And so, look,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: you can... You can love Lamar Jackson, the player, and
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: still question Lamar Jackson as a long-term investment. Those two
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: things are not mutually exclusive. And when you think about
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: where the Ravens are at this particular point and where
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Lamar is, okay, the Lamar Jackson Marching and Chowder Society,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Anyone that questions Lamar long-term, they lose their mind. You
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. You're a boomer, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: But Lamar is approaching 30. Now, 30 in the big
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: picture is not all that old in life, but in
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the sporting life, it's getting up there. And the mileage,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: he's got a lot of mileage. He's got the mileage
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: like a cross-country Greyhound bus. A lot of miles. He's
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: got the price tag of a Gulfstream. and the Ravens
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: should get a deal, you would think. I know the
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: economy of football is only up. It never goes down.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Lamar bet on himself. The Ravens gambled that Lamar would
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: not get the job done this year, and he's not
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: gotten the job done. He's been hurt. He's not been available.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: So the Ravens won. The Ravens won. They bet that
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Lamar would not be able to succeed, and they've been right. Lamar,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: because of injury, has not been able to get the
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: job done. The question is, what kind of discount do
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: they get? Are they going to get a little bit
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: off the top there? Not going to have to pay
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: him the full amount? We don't know. Lamar's become a
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: seasonal attraction at this point. That's not a compliment. He's
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a full-time franchise quarterback at this point,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: just a seasonal attraction. All right, final thought to the hoodie.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: What?
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I realize that the Bill Belichick NFL storyline is no
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: longer a thing, but over the weekend, Over the weekend,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: if you saw it, you saw it. They claim that
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: the North Carolina football coach, Bill Belichick, who's in his mid-70s,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: and his lady friend, the interesting... There's some words I
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: could use. I will not use them. Jordan Hudson. Jordan Hudson,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: who is 25... And TMZ had the big story over
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the weekend that they broke up, that Belichick, who's 74,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: and Jordan Hudson, 25, quietly split. They actually broke up
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: at the end of 2025. They remain friends and they're
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: business partners, but they are no longer doing the making whoopee.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: There's no bow-chicka-wow-wow, according to TMZ. That's not going on. Now,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: People claims that the People magazine, I always get my
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: NFL news or college football news from People magazine, They
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: claim that Jordan Hudson is dating somebody else. However, the
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: reason I bring this up, a local Raleigh television reporter,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the great Pat Welter. I have no idea who that is,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: but Pat Welter, a TV reporter in Raleigh, disputing the
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: TMZ report boots on the ground. He says, wait a minute.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: He says, wait a minute here. that that is not
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the case, that they are still together. And he says
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: that he has talked to people close to the situation
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: and there is no breakup. And neither has publicly confirmed
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: that they've broken up. Meanwhile, Belichick and North Carolina, they
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: are 4-4. Another tough loss for the Tar Heels over
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: the weekend. And this has generated much more attention, this
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: relationship stuff, much more attention than the situation with the
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: football team. All right, so the question, where are you at?
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: We have conflicting reports. You know I love my conflicting
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: tabloid reports. There are conflicting reports out of the tabloids
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: here regarding the Belichick love life. So I find the
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: whole thing, capital H, hilarious. I do. Bill Belichick spent
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: two decades fooling a number of opposing quarterbacks, keeping them guessing.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: People thought he was the smartest guy around. Now they
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: think he's an idiot. Back then they thought he was
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: a genius, Belichick, and now he's got the entire industrial
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: complex of gossip. Big gossip. Utterly confused about whether he
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: is actually single or or not single, and there's other
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: people who say, who the hell cares? It doesn't matter.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: TMZ's normally right about these things. Now, they've had some
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: royal F-ups over there at the Harvey Levin compound there,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: which is no longer in Hollywood, by the way. They're
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: over in the South Bay of L.A., because that's where
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: they all live, the people that work on the show,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: so they don't want to have to drive to Hollywood,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: so they live right near the ocean. But they're saying this,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: and they're very rarely wrong about these kind of things.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: The local reporter was like, not so fast, my friend.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: So what's going on? So the hoodie has apparently installed
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: a cloak of invisibility about his romance, his love life here.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Leaving the media, the tabloid media, running in circles trying
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of what's going on. Now, honestly,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is running the romantic flea flicker is what
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: he's doing. And nobody seems to have a clue. These
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: are two opposite reporters. You're about 180 degrees from each
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: other here. That's where we are. And the man, Bill Belichick,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: has rebranded. Belichick has rebranded. His signature scandal with the
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: New England Patriots back in the day was Spygate. I
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: guess we can call this Dategate. And what's going on
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: with Dategate? Who knows? And the paparazzo losing their mind
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: trying to analyze every single glance somewhere in a dark
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: film room. Belichick is just grumbling. And he's like, we're
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: on to Cincinnati. No, you don't play Cincinnati. We're on
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. Well, you don't play Cincinnati. You're just wrong.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: By the way, there was a story that Belichick's lady
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: friend there, Jordan Hudson, skipped out. on North Carolina's game
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: with Miami that she was not spotted at the game.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: But she had been at the previous games, so do
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: that with what you want. Take your calls.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: 877-99 on Fox.

  Speaker 1: 877-996-6369. Money for nothing. A whole lot of money for nothing.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: And you know those big over-the-top speeches? Win one for
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the Gipper and all that stuff. So the media loves
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: to make a big deal about it. However, there's a catch.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: There's a bit of a catch, and I will explain
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: the catch. We'll get to that, and we will do
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: it next.

• 41:19
  Speaker 1: The Ben Maller Show on Fox Sports Radio. As we
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: continue on, yeah, but about the Lamar Jackson situation. He
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: bet on himself. His thumb did not help. Looks like
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Lamar's going to be out for the rest of the year.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Will he be back with the Ravens? Has he played
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: his final game? Inquiring minds would like to know. Take
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: your calls. 877-99 on Fox. That's 877-996-6369. Also on X,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Maller. Lorena, she's known
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: as the exterminator. She's here. Say hello to Lorena. If
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: you need me to kill cockroaches, give me a call.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: She started her week with an infestation of cockroaches. The
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: cockroaches were calling around here. You think that's because of
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: the time change that their schedule was messed up?
• 42:18
  Speaker 9: You know, I think they've just been breeding in this
• 42:20
  Speaker 9: desk and they're now coming out everywhere.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: That's like the eighth or ninth generation of cockroach. There
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: used to be a Denny's that was in this building
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: a long time ago. Lorraine is available at FSR Tech
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Queen Koopaloop at AllBroncoFan. That's AllBroncoFan. Your comments can and
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: will be used against you in the court of the
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Malheur Militia, so please act accordingly. Kev Atomic from Alaska
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: writes in. He says, the Ravens were smart in the
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: sense they didn't purchase the extended warranty. Unfortunately, they didn't
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: purchase full coverage insurance either. They should make a deal
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: for Gardner Minshew. Not a bad idea.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: FergDog says, I bowl, you bowl, we bowl. Feel free
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: to use that line in one of your live reads.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: You think I should use that? It's pretty good. It's
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: not bad. Let me save that. I'll add that. I
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: need to dress these live reads up. I get generic copy.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I have to dress them up. The Baltimore media freeloader
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: account says, pretty accurate and harsh assessment of Lamar and company.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: I would declare the season over. I says I wouldn't
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: declare the season over because of the mediocre NFL, but
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: they won't stop serving free food in the press box
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: no matter how bad your team is. You knew that.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: The key is leaving before halftime. Very important. Kev Atomic
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: also says, feels to me like Jesse Minter is really
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: so proud of how Lamar's thumb battled through and is
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: working really hard to be better one week at a time. Yes,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: we've determined that all these coaches now, no matter how
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: crappy their teams play, they have to come out and say,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: we really worked hard and I'm proud of my team.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Every coach, no matter how terrible they play. Dallas, a
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: terrible team, right? Blew a two-touchdown lead fourth quarter to
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: a crap Arizona team. And Schottenheimer comes out, talks about
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: how hard they played and all that. Dak Prescott says
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: the same thing. And Andy Reid, the Chiefs, end up
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: blowing a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. And Andy's
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: praising about how hard they work. It's the same bull crap.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. And we'll say hello to eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Mark on the north end of Boston.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: He owns the north end. He's like the honorable mayor
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: of the north end. Hello, Mark. What's going on, buddy?
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Ben.
• 44:52
  Speaker 10: I would love to be on the feud, but I
• 44:55
  Speaker 10: did call about, you know, you mentioned earlier about the
• 44:58
  Speaker 10: Minnesota non-existing offense.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
• 45:02
  Speaker 11: Well, I think yesterday there was some bad leftover Halloween
• 45:07
  Speaker 11: mojo or something because the whole NFL as a whole
• 45:11
  Speaker 11: offense was freaking terrible yesterday except for Joe Burrow and
• 45:16
  Speaker 11: the Bengals.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, what the hell is going on this week?
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: You have guys.
• 45:21
  Speaker 11: Inside the five-yard line, can't get.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: In the end zone.
• 45:25
  Speaker 10: Then what they do get in the end zone, missing
• 45:27
  Speaker 10: extra points and missing chip-shot field goals. I mean, as
• 45:30
  Speaker 10: far as the league yesterday, when I said bad Halloween mojo,
• 45:35
  Speaker 10: was a frightening display of football yesterday.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Well, there were some teams. Jacksonville scored, but it was
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: really spotty. I think that's what you're saying. It was inconsistent.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Because there were some high-scoring games. There were some singers.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: That game played in the rain. In Tampa?
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: In Tampa, that was insane.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, 16-0.
• 45:54
  Speaker 10: The first time since, what, 1974 a team has won
• 45:58
  Speaker 10: a game without completing a single pass.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, that's a group project where Baker did not
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: have to do anything. He just showed up and somebody
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: else did the work. Zero passes completed. How bad is
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: the NFL, though, right now when something like that happens? Well,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: you're a Patriot guy. You're satisfied. They play the Dolphins.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Not a good Dolphin team. And it was a relatively
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: close game for a good stretch of the game.
• 46:26
  Speaker 10: No, I'm lumping the Patriots into the bad offense.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Bad everything yesterday.
• 46:31
  Speaker 10: And because it's the Dolphins, you know, in the second half,
• 46:35
  Speaker 10: the real Dolphins showed up.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: There you go. But you've got to win. You're 5-3, right?
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Things are better. All right, well, we'll leave it there.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Mark, on the North End, complaining about NFL offenses.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the other side of the aisle, a
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: man who, despite the Dolphins' terrible record and seemingly just
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: throwing away this season, here to give us the Dolphin perspective.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: We go to Florida, and we say hello to Matt Mann,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: the Finns fan. Hello, Matt Mann, the Finns fan.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, Ben.
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: How you doing?
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I would be a running back,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: but I would not be your running back who got
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: an ill-timed penalty there, Mr.
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: Gordon.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Who goofed, I've got to know.
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, he did.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, he very much did. I was actually pretty satisfied
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: going into halftime with a 10-point lead and then... You know,
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: like Mr. Boston over there said, it seemed like the
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: real team showed up in the second half. But with
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: all that being said, you know, I feel good at 1-6,
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: believe it or not.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: You feel real good. You're satisfied. Everything you hoped they
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: would be, the Dolphins, you're really in good shape when
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: you start projecting ahead. The Dolphins would have the third
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: pick in the draft next year.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'd rather have one or two because I really
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: want us to get Jeremiah Smith, but I think he's
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: going either number one or, at worst, number two. But
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: what I can tell is that each week they seem
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: to be improving with something, and they seem to be
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: behind the coach. Jeff Happily seems to have this team
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: very competitive. And, I mean, what are you going to
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: expect when you tear the whole thing down from the
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: top and start from scratch?
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: All right, you're satisfied then. I got you. It's a
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: good loss, a solid loss for the Dolphins. All right, Matt,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Matt Manby, the Finns fan there, give us the Dolphin perspective.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Steve in Manhattan. Go Buchanan, go Buchanan.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised he's calling. It's an election week. I thought
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: he'd be busy calling the political shows and not us,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: but there he is. I see him online right there.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: The guy loves his talk radio. Steve in Manhattan. Hello, Steve.
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: Now, are they telling us that the people up in
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: Alaska are so stupid that they can't tell the difference
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: between two Dan Sullivan's Ben distinguished panel, expanding audience? Welcome
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: to E.R., And everybody all together now. I want everybody
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: in the.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Country all together. together now. Here we go.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: Happy birthday, Patrick Joseph Buchanan. November 2nd, baby.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Go Buchanan. Go Buchanan. Go Buchanan.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: Go Pat.
• 49:30
  Speaker 6: Go.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Go Pat.
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: Go.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Go Pat.
• 49:32
  Speaker 8: Go.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Go Pat.
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: Go.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: Go Pat. Go.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: How'd I do? Did I do all right?
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: You did. Listen. Perfect. There couldn't have been a better
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: script for that. Believe me when I tell you.
• 49:44
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: How are you celebrating? Am I calling radio shows or
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: are you going to have a cake today? What are
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: you doing today to celebrate?
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: Well, we're going to wish Pat a big happy birthday,
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: and then tomorrow we're going to celebrate a big win
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: on Election Day. That's what we're going to have.
• 50:01
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with that. It's always exciting Election Day.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Who will win? Who will lose? Who will complain? Right.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: We'll find out tomorrow.
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: I hope nobody's listening to these knucklehead pundits talking politics
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: and everything. They don't know what they're talking about.
• 50:17
  Speaker 11: But anyway.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: Talking about clock management and stuff like that and setting
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: the clock forward. You know Aaron Glenn was late for
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: the game this morning. You know that, right?
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: It was clock management.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, there you go. I know it was halftime. He'd
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: be late. How about the fact... I want to rip
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: the politicians. This is a bipartisan issue. I'm going to
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: rip our politicians. I was doing the podcast over the weekend.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: I saw that Vancouver... is not changing time anymore. So
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: we were in Vancouver last year, and that means they
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: finally figured out, well, let's stop the time. Can we
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: stop daylight saving time, Steve? Can we just pick a time,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: whatever time you want, and then just go with it?
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: In Vancouver, they're not doing it, which means even though
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: they're right near Seattle, they're part of the year going
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: to be an hour ahead of Seattle because Seattle fell back.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: So it's so stupid, the time change. I like that
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: they said, screw that. We're going to have one time.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: That's all we need is one time.
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: That's it, man, and put Aaron Glenn in charge here.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: Whatever they decide, put Aaron Glenn in charge.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Aaron, let me tell you something. Aaron Glenn is going
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: to— you' re trashing him. He's going to be in demand. He's
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: going to be the most valuable defensive coordinator candidate next year.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: Everyone's going to want to hire Aaron Glenn as their
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator.
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: They are.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: No, Aaron Glenn could be the de facto GM because
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: you hire him, he loses all the games, and you
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: get the first pick in the draft. But with the Jets,
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: that doesn't mean anything. The Jets should just trade the
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: whole team at the deadline. But getting back to some
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: serious stuff now, I'm glad you did mix in some politics.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: And everybody, it's Pat's birthday, and if you want to
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: wish him a happy birthday, go right ahead. But the
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: thing is, In all of the sports now, I just
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: think they're hiring people that aren't qualified. But that's a
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: reflection of our society today. I think they're a knucklehead.
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: Brian Bonehead's a knucklehead. Sal is a knucklehead. Aaron Glenn
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: shouldn't be coaching Pop Warner. He's in the NFL as
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: an NFL coach. So I think people who are really
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: hardcore fans, who really know the sport of football... They
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: know this is a total joke, what's going on. And
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: getting back to the draft, the draft is the luck
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: of the draw. Well, it's the.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Luck of the draw, but they've been able to fool people,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the Jets. Everyone gets excited for the draft. The Jets
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: are going to have two top ten picks. Oh, my God,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: it's so exciting. Marcel, are you excited, Marcel? Let's go
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: to Marcel in Brooklyn. and get the inside skinny. Marcel,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: are you excited, Marcel?
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, it is. Steve in Manhattan, good morning to you,
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: my friend. And Ben, Lorena, Kootenai, welcome aboard. Thanks for
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: having me on.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's take a call. Caller, you're on the air.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Say hello to Marcel in Brooklyn. Caller.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, caller, welcome to the show.
• 53:06
  Speaker 6: Thank you for my birthday present, Marcel. Good job on
• 53:09
  Speaker 6: the marathon yesterday.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: Paul, thank you very much. You're welcome. Hey, this is
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: a no, Steve in Manhattan. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Mike
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: the Loser Con. That's where it is.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Did you hear him on that? Marcel, did you hear
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Mike the Leprechaun and Poppy were on the mailbag? Did
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: you hear that? You were on the mailbag before.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, your ratings on the podcast there, Ben, is going
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: way up, but the Poppy and Mike the Idiot Con's
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: ratings on your podcast go way down the drain.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sorry, but how about that, Leprechaun? He says
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: you're going to kill the ratings, like the downloads are
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: not going to be good.
• 53:48
  Speaker 10: Wow, wow.
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: All I can say is there's an election tomorrow, Marcel,
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: and there's an election next year, and you're not going
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: to win any election.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to take the election and say yes.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: This one comes tomorrow in the midterms. And next year,
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: it's going to be in 2028. Actually, it's two years
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: away from now.
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: Marcel, is your name Daniel Sullivan? No. No? Where's he from?
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Somebody tell Mike the Idiocon to get out of here.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: All right, let's do food pics, please. Let's get to it.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: This is very important. We're doing God's work here. We're
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: doing food pics. Let's get into it. All right, I
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: think you had for dinner last night in Brooklyn, I
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: believe that you had Celeste pizza. That's what I believe.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: Not the Celeste pizza in the mix match, it is.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Lorena. I think you had a deep-fried corn dog.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Corn dog?
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: Not a mismatch, it is, my friend.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Go to a state fair or something like that? Go
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: ahead there, Koopaloop.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: Koopaloop, go right ahead, buddy.
• 54:51
  Speaker 9: I think that you had cucumber salad, a crab cream croquette,
• 54:57
  Speaker 9: Japanese beef curry.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: And what's the other thing that I ate? That's terrible.
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: That's awkward. This is why you gain weight.
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: Fringe.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Excuse me?
• 55:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah. Marcel's ripping you, dude. No, that was Lorena ripping me.
• 55:13
  Speaker 9: I can't remember the other thing that I ate, but yeah.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Leprechaun, what do you think he ate last night?
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: He went to the Cheesecake Factory.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: You're on your mind, loser card? This is not a
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: mixed match.
• 55:27
  Speaker 10: It is.
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: Go away.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Wow, he told you to go away. This is terrible.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: All right, reveal answers, please.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: And then, Celestly Pizza, it is.
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: Celestly.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Jalen Warren is the morning player as well from the
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Steelers from yesterday.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: All right, there you go. Thank you so much. Marcel
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, a one-of-a-kind experience with Marcel in Brooklyn. We
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: are moments away. Well, actually, minutes away. We're minutes away
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: from a riveting edition of the Malheur Militia Feud. How about...
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: The coach at Florida State, I wish Jed, who fled,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: was available. I think he's locked up again. But Florida
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: State will pay Mike Norvell $ 50 million to not coach
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: the Seminoles. This after the fans raised a hullabaloo and
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: had pretty much checked out apathy for the Florida State
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: football team. So somebody stepped up $ 50 million. Mike Norvell
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: is going to get not to coach. How about that?
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: And Ray Lewis gave a very intense speech to try
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: to fire up the Ravens before their game against Buffalo.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: How'd that go? They got their ass kicked. You don't
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: hear about it because they lost. If they had won,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: it would have been, oh, Ray Lewis still has his mojo.
