• 3:57
  Speaker 1: And our lead this hour, from the power outage around
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the NFL following Denver's latest beatdown of the 0-5 Chargers,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: although it wasn't really a beatdown, they won the game
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: by six points, Justin Herbert, the incompetent quarterback of the Chargers...
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: has had his name bandied about. A lot of trade chatter,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: if you follow this kind of stuff. That's heating up.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw any of this or not.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Perhaps not. Herbert signed one of those Mega Millions contracts
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: through 2029. He's contractually obligated to the team that used
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to be in San Diego, the Chargers. And he's got
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: massive money. There is a no-trade clause. So there is
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a no-trade clause. Now, his value in terms of the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: trade market There are some that are saying, well, he's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: worth two first-round picks. And people are just throwing Fettuccine
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Alfredo against the wall to see what sticks. They're like, well,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: he's worth two first-round picks. Others are like, well, no,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you couldn't even get a second round and a third-round
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: pick for Herbert the way he's playing. He has been
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: not only a quarterback, he's been terrible this year for
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the Chargers, completing less than 60%. Of his passes with
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: five touchdowns, seven interceptions, which I'm told is not good.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: 17 sacks in five games. Bad situational awareness. And that's
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: on him. And a miserable passer rating. The numbers are
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: bad across the board for Justin Herbert. He is winless
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: in three playoff appearances, including one of the all-time great
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: choke jobs in pro football history, as the Charger quarterback
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: did nothing in the second half, which is why the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars stormed back from 27 points down. And then
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: last year, if I remember correctly, against the Texans, Justin
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Herbert was very generous giving the football away. So November
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is approaching. It's already the 14th of October, November approaching,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline. The Chargers publicly insisting that they are never,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: ever going to trade Justin Herbert. They let that be
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: known to the sock puppet, NFL insider crowd that just
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: repeats everything. We're not trading him. We'll never trade. Never,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: ever going to trade Justin Herbert. That's a long time.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: All right, so it's good jumping off point. Let us
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: discuss the question for those of you in the back
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: of the room. What do you make of Chargers quarterback
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert being floated by some on the trade market
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and the Chargers claiming, no, no, no, we're never going
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to trade this guy. So I've got assembly line, McDonald's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: soft serve, and barbed wire. And we will combine all
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of these things together, and we are going to have
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: a screw loose. which is what some of the people
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that call this show have. A few screws loose. All right,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: so number one.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Number one.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I said number.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Number one.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Now, privately, the Chargers have made it be known. that
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: we are not getting rid of Justin Herbert. That is
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: their position. They leaked it. Adam Schefter had it. They said, well,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: we're not going to trade this guy. However, the circle
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of life, the circle of life in the NFL is
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you are a promising quarterback coming out of the draft.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You play okay. You get a big contract. And then
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: at that point, you got to crank it up a
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: couple of notches. He's not cranking it up a couple
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: of notches. And we know that one man's trash is
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: another man's treasure. That's the way it is. And just,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: if you don't believe me, look at Goodwill, look at OfferUp,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: all those places you get other people's garbage and you
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: get very horny for that stuff. And so Herbert is
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a guy that, Throws the football like Zeus, throwing thunderbolts.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Just like that. That's what it sounds like. That's a thunderbolt. Unfortunately,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the scoreboard does not award points for mythology. So if
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: only the Zeus-like throws, the thunderbolts, if those were worth points,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that would be great. And you look at all the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: stats and all the niceties that were tossed out by
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth and Troy Aikman back when Tony Romo was
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: an upstanding citizen and he called NFL games, and how
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: many broadcasters just loved, loved Justin Herbert.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Slava, slava, slava!
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: All over Justin Herbert. You look back at that, and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like he was a bag of Ruffles
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: potato chips. The flaming hot cheddar and sour cream. A
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: lot of empty calories there. A lot of empty calories.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: And yet he was given the franchise quarterback contract and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: didn't deliver the results. Not a big game quarterback, Justin Herbert.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Not a guy that gets it done in the big moment.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: He hasn't been that guy. You're not that guy, pal.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: You're not that guy. And the Herbert Alibi Assembly line,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the Justin Herbert Alibi Assembly line, operates 24 hours a day,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: seven days a week, including all federal holidays. It does
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: not shut down. Every failure... Every failure has a nice excuse,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a really nice excuse, every single one. And I say, oh, well,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it's not his fault. It's the offensive line. Okay, it's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the offensive line's fault. That's great. Oh, no, it's the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: coaching staff. They're the ones that are effing up. Okay,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: they're stupid. Fine. No, no, it's the injuries. Okay, I
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: got you. It's the injuries. No, no, wait a minute.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: It's the receivers. It's their fault. No, no, hold on
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a sec. It's the fans. There's not enough powder blue fans.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: That's why Herbert's not good. Herbert is always just an
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: innocent bystander, even though he's the don'ts. under center. He's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: always the innocent bystander at the scene of the crime.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: And it's a one football crime after another for the Chargers,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: one after another. At some point, he's either just incapable
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: of doing it, And he just can't overcome adversity.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Or what else?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I don't even know any other answer to that. What
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: would the other answer be? Now, for those of you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that say, there's no way the Chargers are going to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: trade him. They said they're not going to trade him.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: They're not going to trade him. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Herbert has a no-trade clause. Whoop-dee-damn-do. Whoop-dee-damn-do. He's got a
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: no-trade clause. That's great. What does that mean? That just
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: means he can handpick the team he wants to play for.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It also means he can get a little kicker, a
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: little sweetener, some sugar put on top, and they can
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: facilitate a trade. Now, Herbert is one desperate owner away.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: From becoming someone else's very expensive science project. Very expensive
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: science project. And you say, well, who would be in
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the market? The obvious one would be the Atlanta Falcons.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: They don't have a quarterback. Michael Penix Jr., when he plays,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: is okay, but he's always hurt. Tua sucks. So they
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback. If you're Atlanta and you've got
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: all these toys around the quarterback position, all these great playmakers,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: why would you not call the Chargers up and say, hey,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: let's make a deal. Let's bring in Justin Herbert, see
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: if he likes to eat grits. We'll bring him to Atlanta.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Or if you're the Minnesota Vikings, you don't have a quarterback.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: You've got a championship-level defense in Minnesota. You don't have
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. You go on this gimmick sideshow guy, the glitch,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Alligator Arms Murray. Now, I'm not convinced that Herbert's an
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: upgrade from Kyler Murray. Some of you people are, so
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: go that direction. And then you look at some of
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the other bad franchises that are always making moves that
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you question. You say, well, the Cleveland Browns, they don't
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: have a quarterback. And the Arizona Cardinals, they don't have
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. All right, now, page two. To the Fight Club...
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: That's right. Body blow, body blow, body blow. Fight Club. Fallout,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Football postgame. The Bills beat the Rams in
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: overtime on the undercard. In the main event, the Rams
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: actually knocked out the Buffalo Bills.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: What?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, if the game had gone to double overtime,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: double overtime, as my friend Alex used to say, then, hey,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: that would have been a win for the Rams. It
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: was the postgame punch heard round the football world. Everyone
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: buzzing about this. I assume, you know, by now we
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: talked about a little bit yesterday. Rams left tackle. Alaric
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Jackson suspended not one but two games without pay for
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: throwing a haymaker at Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb. And he
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: did connect. He was caught red-handed. Jackson confronted Chubb. There
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: were words exchanged. And one thing led to another, and
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: then kaboom! As Eileen in San Francisco would say, kaboom!
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Just like that. Right there, punch to the head, to
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the face. Right in midfield. Television cameras caught the whole thing. Question.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: What stands out about the Rams' starting left tackle, Alaric Jackson,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: being suspended for punching a Bills player post-game, after the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: game had ended in overtime? So after a minutes-long malar
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: deliberation of the available information, we've determined that Alaric Jackson
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: was not actually suspended for throwing a punch for fighting.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: He was suspended for being an idiot to the highest degree. Congratulations.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: The irony here is extraordinary. It just is. So Jackson
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: works in one of the most heavily televised industries in America.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: There isn't a lot of live television. Local news is
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: live in television, and sports are live. And nothing draws
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: an audience more than the NFL. So you work for
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: a business that is a TV show, and they sell football,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: but it's really a TV show, and you somehow, you
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: jack wagon, somehow forgot... that the game was being televised.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Or you assumed that there was something else going on.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: The NFL didn't need to investigate this. They had the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: punch from not one, not two, not three, not four,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: not five, how about six different camera angles. I'm guessing
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: there's some drone footage somewhere of the punch. And Jackson
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: apparently thought the final whistle, the final whistle meant the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: surveillance system was unplugged. That's it, no more. It's difficult
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to claim... that you've been misunderstood when your fist is
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: doing all the talking. It's very difficult. The man possesses
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Alaric Jackson based on some of his other activities here
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: as well. He possesses the impulse control of a toddler
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: who has been told, hey, the McDonald's soft serve machine
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: is broken. And, well, no, I need my cone. I
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: need my vanilla cone. Where's my McFlurry? What's wrong with
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you people? So I will tell you, try punching a
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: colleague at the office Christmas party, which will be here
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: in a couple months. Try punching a colleague and see
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: how understanding your employer becomes. Let me know. Get back
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to me. All right. I'm not telling you to do that.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying if you do do that, get back
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to me. So, yeah, Alaric Jackson, the football IQ guy.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: It went from questionable to assembly required. There was an
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: employee at the company years ago that did go. No,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: it was not. Coop gave a name. It was not him.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: We did have an employee who did throw a haymaker.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: who then actually ended up on network television, by the way.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: He got promoted. He got promoted. All right, final point
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to Austin, Texas, the rare college football story, which is
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: a hybrid. It's college and the NFL. So Texas coach
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Steve Sarkeesian, Coach Sark, Coach Sark defending his quarterback. That's
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: my quarterback, Arch Manning, earlier this week claiming his famous
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: surname as The Manning surname brings unfair scrutiny. Boo-hoo-hoo. Sarkeesian
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: argued an unknown quarterback with four top ten victories and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: 13 starts would receive universal praise. And his defense following
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning this past weekend had not one but two
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: costly fourth quarter interceptions. Handing, handing, unranked Oklahoma. Unranked Oklahoma
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: a win as the number one team in college football
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Texas at the time went belly up. The game delivered.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Boomers sooner. And they got it done thanks to the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: generosity of Arch Manning. Unranked team beating the top team.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: The first of those mistakes was a pick six. The
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: second with 19 seconds remaining set up Oklahoma for for
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the game-winning 47-yard field goal. Unlike the L.A. Rams, the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Sooners kicker not terrible at his job and actually made
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the kick. So the preseason Heisman contender and the man
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: who had been projected as the top pick in the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: 2027 NFL draft has had a bumpity, bumpity, bumpity ride
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: in Austin. Some highs and some lows. Even the Ohio
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: State game, Arch Manning was horrific. Horrific. It was terrible
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: in that particular game. By the way, we'd like to
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: alert all the affiliates down the line. Stay Awake with
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Jake is listening, by the way. He heard his name,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and he is tuned in. He's a big radio muckety-muck.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: And all that. Engineer and all that. The great stay
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: awake with Jake. Lorraine, I don't know if you know Jake.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Jake was our engineer for a long time. Jake Warner.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Like Big Brother Jake?
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Big Brother Jake.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I met him at Mt. SAC, my college that
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: I go to.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Okay. There you go. Anyway, to the question. To the question.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Here it is. Is Texas coach Steve Sarkeesian confusing legitimate
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: quarterback criticism with unfair expectations because Arch Manning has a
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: famous last name? So to answer the question, I'm nodding
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: my head. Yes, this is obviously a confused Sark coach Sark.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Are we supposed to throw some kind of pity party?
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Is that we're supposed to do for a quarterback who
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: won the genetic lottery? Do you know how much easier
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: it is in life? when you're born into the Manning family. Now,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: good for him. That's a wonderful mitzvah. I'm not ripping
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: him for it, but let's not sit here and pretend
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: like it's hardship. The Manning name in the football world
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: is a VIP pass. It is not some kind of
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: prison sentence. You can't say you overcame the odds. Now,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: you could argue that he's Arch Manning, not Peyton or
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Eli Manning's son. The other Manning's son... Cooper Manning, well,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: that's not as good. But Arch Manning was born into royalty,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: football royalty. was born on third base. And you listen
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to Steve Sarkeesian. I know coaches have to defend their players,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: but you listen to Steve Sarkeesian and he wants us
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: to believe the poor guy had to crawl through broken
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: glass and barbed wire to get where he is in life,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: overcoming the odds of He'd overcome the odds if he
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: hadn't made it. He would have overcome the odds to
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: play college football. By the way, Arch Manning, who apparently
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: is really difficult to not celebrate Arch Manning, according to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Coach Stark, out of all the college football quarterbacks, where
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: is Arch Manning? Where does he rank? Remember, he was
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: a Heisman contender preseason, so he's certainly top 20, right? No?
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: All right, top 25.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: How about top 30? Do I hear top 30? It's
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: got to be top 30. Come on. Top 35?
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: No?
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: All right. Top 40. Yes? All right. You're nodding. You're nodding.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: No?
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Wrong! It turns out Arch Manning is the 65th ranked
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: quarterback in college football. Is that good? I'm asking for
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: a friend. 65th ranked quarterback in college football, behind the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: likes of the quarterbacks from the Western Michigan Broncos and
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Sam Houston State. Their quarterbacks rank higher than Arch Manning.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: If Arch Manning were named Arch Johnson, nobody would have
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: considered him a Heisman favorite. Or a possible top pick
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: overall before the season. That's just a fact, Jack. That's
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: a fact. And he's the most protected quarterback in collegiate football,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning. He's got a massive NIL deal because of
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the last name, not because of his production on the field.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: And so you can't enjoy the perks of football royalty
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and then claim some kind of diplomatic immunity when you
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: throw the ball to the wrong team multiple times and
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: cost your team a victory against an unranked opponent. And
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I understand all coaches do not want to criticize their
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: players because the players today can't handle it. And even
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: back in the old days, they didn't always blast players,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: but they did occasionally, rare and appropriate, blast the player.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Sarkeesian is reluctant to hold... Arch Manning accountable.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: And really what Coach Sark is doing, he's double dipping.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: He's not only coaching the Longhorns, he's also running a
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: public relations department for the Manning family is what he's doing.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: And it's not going to work out well for Sarkeesian either.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: He's not going to last there. If this goes the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: way that it's possibly going to go, it certainly looks
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: like it's heading that direction. You lose to Oklahoma like that,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: my God. Watch out. Watch out. All right, it is
• 22:38

• 25:18
  Speaker 1: can and will be used against you in the court
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: of the Maller militia, so please act accordingly. I'm guessing
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: not a lot of yo-yos are being used anymore. I
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: think the yo-yo and the Ouija board are things that
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: have gone away, and the hula hoop.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: And the slinky.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: The slinky also. Things of a bygone era that are
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: no longer used.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Those are things that you would do when you had
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: nothing to do with your hands, but we're all so
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: busy scrolling these days.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. Exactly, exactly, exactly. Bob from Glen Allen writes in, Virginia,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: he says, hey, Ben, about the ops comment. I'm an
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: old timer. What is Chargers sell price asking for a
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Browns fan? Yeah. Pennies on the dollar. Doug, our buddy
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Douglas from Mississippi writes in. Haven't heard from Douglas in
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: a while. Shouldn't we look at Arch Manning and others
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: that have pro-family members as what could happen, not what
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: is going to happen? What could happen, not what's going
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: to happen? Well, it's the Nepo baby situation. It's not
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: quite the same direct Nepo baby thing because Arch Manning
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: is not Eli or Peyton Manning's son, but uncle, uncle.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Peyton and Uncle Elijah. Mad Jack writes in, says, should
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I wait? He says, should I wait to get my
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Blake Snell jersey until it goes on clearance? I'm a
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: myopic Dodger fan, and I've got to get mine. Got
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: to get mine. I ain't playing until I get mine, bro.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not playing. I would wait because it will be
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: on sale if the Dodgers end up gagging this series away.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not playing unless I get mine.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Some interesting stories out there about Blake Snell. I
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: don't know what's true or not, but people... Tell me
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: some interesting tales. Bro, I'm risking my life. Some interesting
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: things about Blake's. I don't know if it's true or not,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: but I can't say it. I don't want to get sued,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: but very interesting. Curmudgeon Wayne writes in, says it would
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: be nice if you could do one show without the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: drooling over an L.A. team every damn night. It's the same. Well,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Curmudgeon Wayne, let me explain how this works, okay? I
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: know you're not that smart because you're Curmudgeon Wayne. So
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: every day I start with a blank canvas. Think of
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: me like PBS legend from back in the day, Bob Ross.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: And I am painting a.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Forest.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I've got trees. I've got the whole thing. Beautiful bushes.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: A lot of bushes. A lot of bushes. And so
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I come in here every day, and I don't know
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: what I want to talk about. People tell me, oh, man,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: you've been doing the same stupid job for 25 years.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Holy crap. How do you do it? Every day is different.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: There's something new. There's some new controversy every day. It
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: just so happens, curmudgeon Wayne, that the stories here are
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: today's crop of stories are about Justin Herbert. I don't
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: care about the Chargers. That's the story. And Otani, the
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Dodgers saying they were going to bench Otani, that was
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the story as well. That was a much more important
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: story than the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cleveland Guardians.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Analog Al says, Arch Johnson was an actor during the 1960s.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Munsters and The Twilight Zone. I think I'm up on
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: my my manager or my actors from the 1960s. Fargo
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Pete writes and says, hey, Ben, the most important stat
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: for the Ben Maler show is the RPO, radio power off.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Mine is a one. It's the amount of seconds it
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: takes from the time you hear Marcel or Whoopi Pie
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Blair until you turn the radio off. Well, that's a
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: bad job by you, Fargo Pete. You don't turn the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: show off. You turn the sound down. You turn the
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: sound down. That's what you do. Let's go to the phones.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Don, who's in Southern California here in
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Simi Valley.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Good evening, Big Ben. Great to always hear you. I've
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: been listening to you on the radio since about 2002.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: That's a long time.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: That's a good run.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: That's a long time.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Your show is the best thing since Scott Farrell's Farrell
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: on the Bench when he used to make fun of
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: professional sports for idiots like Arch Manning and the whole
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: incestuous nepotism that emanates from Darryl Royal Stadium and permeates
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: the entire Permian Basin from Lubbock to Dallas. I mean,
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: all through the 80s, all I heard from every solastitute
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: on campus, oh, Coy Detmer this, Ty Detmer that. And
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: now all I've heard is Manning, Manning, Manning, Manning. None
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: of them expect to play peewee league football. The last
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: decent football player that came out of Texas was a
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: guy named Bubba Smith. And I'd like to see any
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: of those Mannings stand up to Bubba Smith.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: No, I hear you. Listen, let me point out, I
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: have a great Bubba Smith story. You probably do if
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: you've been listening for 20-something years. But Bubba Smith, when
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I was doing local radio, Bubba Smith was doing beer commercials.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: You remember those beer commercials back in the day Bubba
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Smith was doing?
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: I actually met him on a set where he was
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: about to do a beer commercial. And I have a freaking...
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Autographed beer can from him.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, great.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Well, Bubba Smith was a very nice man. He showed up.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I was doing local radio, and Bubba Smith showed up
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: to these remotes we were doing at these different bars.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: He showed up, I think it was twice. I remember.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: It might have only been one time. But it was
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: through the beer company. They set him up. And he
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: came out there. And it was the funniest thing. He
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: gave this whole story about the NFL rigged the Super Bowl,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the Jets, and the Baltimore Colts Super Bowl. The Joe Namath.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Super Bowl III.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bubba gave the whole story. And he
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: went into great detail. He was on the Baltimore Colts,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: that team that obviously lost.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, I remember Bubba Smith very well. And when he
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: played for Houston, too.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: It was just funny. You brought his name up, and
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I was like, ah, that was a great memory. Because
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: we were like, that's great. And there's no recorded, there's
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: no tape of it or anything like that. There was
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: no internet back then, so it was just him on
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the radio rifting about how the NFL rigged the Super
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Bowl to screw over his team, the Baltimore Coast. But
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I did like the fact that you called up, Don,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: after many years here, to just take a shot at
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Bubba Smith, his father taught him how to play football
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: and how to take a hit. You know how?
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: How's that?
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: He'd whack him with a two-by-four.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Generally doesn't work these days. Back in those days, though.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Back in those days, you could do it. All right, well,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: thank you, Don. We'll talk to you in 20 years.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Thank you for still being on the air.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: All right, well, thank the management here at Fox Sports Radio.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Let's say hello to, let's go to Anthony.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: He's in Louisiana. He's a fan favorite. And let's get
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: some hot sports talk with Anthony. Hello, Anthony.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, Ben, how you doing?
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: There are some people, Anthony, that have been emailing me
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: thinking you are in the running for caller of the year.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: I am?
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts. Oh, that's nice. I'm famous.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm famous.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: That's a drop. See, there's another drop. The man's a
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: drop machine. Anthony is a drop machine, is what he is.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: I need to dodge it in trouble.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: That's a hot take right there. Should we do some
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: kind of voodoo boogaloo, Anthony, to save the Dodgers?
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Look at this. And people said Anthony couldn't do sports talk.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: This guy's amazing. What a machine this guy is with
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: the takes. That's two takes. The Dodgers are in trouble,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: and he took a shot at Otani. Two takes. Hey,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: you sportsman.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: How you doing?
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: I'm good.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: How's your mouth? Good.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: It's a lot better. Yeah?
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: Did you have any swelling?
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: No.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: Did you get a tooth extracted or just a filling?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: No, I just got two teeth taken out.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: Okay, so that means you can't drink out of a
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: straw for like a week.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: Because you could pull the blood clot out of your
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: mouth and then you could get an abscess little thingy
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: and it could hurt a lot.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: No problem, man. Are you a straw guy? I love straws.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a big straw guy. I always love straws.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: No, I do that to cook.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: I do that.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we call that the raw way to drink is
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: what we call it.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: You like that raw, without that straw there. No interference.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: I got you, Anthony. All right.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Well, y'all take my friend, Andrea, out there.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: All right, Andrea, let me tell you something. This guy
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: right here, this big stud here, Anthony, Louisiana, big fan
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: of your work. Big fan of your work. All right.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, take care.
• 34:17

• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Well, welcome. Well, your thoughts, Randy, on Arch Manning?
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Well, you've got a bunch of kids who play good ball.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know how smart they are because I got
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: hit a lot from New Orleans back in the day.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I've always been a big fan of Macho Man. So,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Macho Man, any advice you have for the Dodgers, Macho Man?
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: Just keep paying them until the checks don't bounce. I
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: don't know.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: There it is.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Any final thought here before we move on, Macho Man?
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a problem.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: It's almost like that was a fluke last year, right?
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: I don't get red hair. Kind of a curse, I guess.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a bit of a curse. Thank you.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: All right, there he is. Look at that. Macho Man.

• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Rowan Blanchard, who is 25 today from Late Night Drug Tester.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Kelly Stafford from Shane in Des Moines. Yeah, she's not annoying.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Who else do we have? Monty Hall from Mediocre Kabuki,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the legend. Mike Tomczak from Dat Dude. You can't mess
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: with Dat Dude. Shadur Sanders tossed out by JT, the wingman.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Jim Kelly from Filler Up Phil. Page down.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: CJ Stroud from Analog Al. I'm sure Mr. Irrigation agrees.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: What say you, Lorena? Jack Skellington.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: No.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Got to have love. Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: 13 drop passes. 13 by the Packer receivers. Here we go.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Here we go. How about that? Here we go. To
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: the third degree. I said, here we go.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: This is when Big Ben gets grilled.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: And it figures to be a roller coaster to the Koopaloop.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Ben, Caleb Williams is progressing, but they're not sure if
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: he's going to be able to start this weekend. Yeah.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: But they also said they have not determined who will
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: take first team snaps at Wednesday's practice if it's not Williams. Ben,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: who do you think gives them a better chance to win?
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Case Keenum or Tyson Bajendt? Agent, agent, agent, agent, like
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: special agent, agent. Yeah, well, I was with the Monday
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: night game. I think it was Monday night game, the
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: primetime game. You'd go with Case Keenum.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: The Bears were flat as Tree in Chicago and Yafimi
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: in phase. No, they just didn't play well at all
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: in any phase against the Green Bay Packers. But they're
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: paying Bajent top-level backup QB money, so he's probably going
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: to be the guy. He didn't play well enough. Who cares?
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Why are you married to your backup quarterback? I'd go
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Case Keenum.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Next!
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Cam Scadaboo had a costly fumble, but it ended up,
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: you know, they saved him with a tie.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: But yesterday, an unnamed scout and league executive.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I like that. Love that.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: They said that Scadaboo is a change of pace guy,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: not a starting running back in the NFL.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Do you agree with them? That was the argument coming
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: out of college at Arizona State that he's not an
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: every down running back, that he can be exhilarating, but
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: also frightening. You play him all the time. He's become
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: a bit of a cult hero with the Giants. They're
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: in this pit. where the fans love him, and they
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: don't really have anybody who's that much better than him.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: So until they get somebody that's clearly better, I just
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: think you ride the roller coaster.
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: Next!
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Texans got their first win. Nico Collins talked up his quarterback,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: CJ Stroud, said the dude is hooping. You think it's
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: too little too late for the Texans?
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Well, no, they're in the AFC South. It's not a
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: good division. Jacksonville looks all right, but no, I mean,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: they're not a good team, the Texans, but it's not over.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: How do we know? You pass.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Hey! Winner, winner, winner! Winner, winner, winner! Winner, winner, winner, winner!
