- 0:22Speaker 2: animated sideline hissy fit with coach Brian Dayball during the
- 0:26Speaker 2: loss to the Commanders, but acknowledged he needs to be
- 0:29Speaker 2: more conscious of the cameras.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Being on him. What do you make of all that?
- 0:34Speaker 2: And Jerry Jones declaring that he did not violate any
- 0:39Speaker 2: NFL rules by ghosting Micah Parson's agent.

- 2:44Speaker 2: a little bit later in the hour after the Riddle
- 2:46Speaker 2: of the Day and the Malard monologue.
- 2:48Speaker 1: But that is where we begin. That is where we
- 2:50Speaker 1: begin our lead this hour, our in.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Depth team coverage continues from South Beach, Baby, where the
- 2:57Speaker 2: weather's good and the football's bad. More about that sad
- 3:01Speaker 2: sack Miami football team. Like a moth to the flame.
- 3:04Speaker 2: We love suck. We can't get enough of suck on
- 3:09Speaker 2: sports radio.
- 3:10Speaker 1: And here we are.
- 3:11Speaker 2: So if you have not heard the latest on this,
- 3:13Speaker 2: the Dolphins hipster coach Mike McDaniel, who's hanging on by
- 3:18Speaker 2: his fingernails. Now he spoke critically. This is the headline
- 3:21Speaker 2: all on the internet. McDaniel comes out criticizes his quarterback.
- 3:25Speaker 2: So they're claiming that he spoke critically of the play
- 3:27Speaker 2: of quarterback Tua Tongue.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Of I Loa.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Now, this is just a couple of days after Tua
- 3:34Speaker 2: decided to go on the vomit comet at Indianapolis.
- 3:37Speaker 1: You remember the Dolphins were down.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Thirty to nothing to Daniel Jones and Tua decided you
- 3:43Speaker 2: get a turnover, you get a turnover.
- 3:44Speaker 1: He was like he was working at a bakery.
- 3:47Speaker 2: So here is Mike McDaniel's commentary on his quarterback to
- 3:52Speaker 2: a tongue of Ila's slightly different than when like a
- 3:54Speaker 2: guy like Jim Harbaugh talks about his quarterback.
- 3:57Speaker 1: But here's Mike McDaniel. Let's go to the audio tape.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Take a list.
- 4:00Speaker 3: I think I saw, uh, you know, quarterback play that
- 4:05Speaker 3: was less than to be desired, which to h absolutely knows,
- 4:11Speaker 3: but that was he's the captain of the franchise quarterback
- 4:15Speaker 3: and everybody kind of fell victim to something similar. I
- 4:19Speaker 3: also know that he's uhh, very.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Very much.
- 4:27Speaker 3: Like a lot most quarterbacks, to be honest, where you're
- 4:32Speaker 3: putting a lot of work into something and your first
- 4:35Speaker 3: time doing it for a collective four quarters in months,
- 4:41Speaker 3: you're not at your best.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Okay, you know what it's time for. I haven't done
- 4:47Speaker 1: this in a long time. We've got to play the game.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta do it.
- 4:53Speaker 2: So the game is this is where we play the
- 4:57Speaker 2: sound bite again and then we tried now we heard it.
- 5:01Speaker 2: I wasn't counting that SoundBite is.
- 5:04Speaker 4: I'm counting ms.
- 5:06Speaker 1: It's a great game. It's the UM game, Larina, you're.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Gonna play coop, You're gonna play the UM game. So
- 5:11Speaker 2: we'll try to guess. That was a forty second SoundBite.
- 5:13Speaker 2: I believe is that correct?
- 5:14Speaker 1: Forty three forty three seconds. That's a long SoundBite.
- 5:19Speaker 2: So before we get into the meat of the mal monologue,
- 5:21Speaker 2: let's try to guess how many ums Mike McDaniel, said,
- 5:24Speaker 2: the spokesman for the Miami Dolphins football team, a multi
- 5:27Speaker 2: billion dollar franchise.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Now we'll do.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Ums and US. I count us as ums. So ums
- 5:33Speaker 2: and us?
- 5:34Speaker 1: Does everyone know the rules? Does everyone know the rule changes?
- 5:38Speaker 4: I had a guess in my head, But now that
- 5:40Speaker 4: you added the uzz in there, that okay.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Now you listening as well. I would like you to
- 5:47Speaker 2: keep track of this and you can play the game.
- 5:49Speaker 2: You'll be the silent, silent game player. So again, we're
- 5:53Speaker 2: playing the game. It's the UM and US game with
- 5:55Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel, head coach of your Miami Dolphins. We're gonna
- 5:57Speaker 2: try to out of guess how many ums in As
- 6:00Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel said in a forty three second SoundBite, I am.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Going to guess twenty one, twenty one, ums and us.
- 6:09Speaker 1: That is my guest, Lorena, what.
- 6:10Speaker 5: Say you great guess, Ben, I'm gonna go through sixty two.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Oh, that's a terrible guess. That's a horrible guess. You
- 6:17Speaker 1: have no chance of waitering, idiot, You have no chance
- 6:19Speaker 1: of wording. All right, cool a loop, go ahead, cool please.
- 6:23Speaker 4: So when we were just thinking arms, I was thinking
- 6:26Speaker 4: like thirteen okay, So adding the uzz there was like
- 6:30Speaker 4: a couple that were like rapid fire up. Yeah they were.
- 6:33Speaker 1: It was a machine gun style. Yeah.
- 6:35Speaker 4: So I'm gonna twenty three. Wait is that what you said?
- 6:41Speaker 1: I said, See, now you're gonna box me? I said
- 6:43Speaker 1: twenty one.
- 6:44Speaker 4: Oh okay, yeah, twenty three.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Okay, you guys always do this. Well he no, he
- 6:49Speaker 1: bought he That was a I can't say what I
- 6:52Speaker 1: want to say.
- 6:52Speaker 2: That was a bad move by Coop because he wanted
- 6:55Speaker 2: to go last, because he wanted to box me in.
- 6:57Speaker 4: No, I just I wasn't you know, I needed to
- 7:00Speaker 4: think about all right, all right.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Let's here we go.
- 7:02Speaker 2: All right, everyone quiet on the set. You listen, you
- 7:04Speaker 2: locked your betch and you listener, lock your betch and no,
- 7:07Speaker 2: here we go. This is the Mike McDaniel, I'm an
- 7:08Speaker 2: ug game and we'll count. Here we go, and let's
- 7:11Speaker 2: go to the audio tape.
- 7:12Speaker 3: I think I saw, uh, you know, quarterback play that
- 7:17Speaker 3: was less than to be desired, which to h absolutely knows,
- 7:23Speaker 3: but that was he's the captain of the franchise quarterback
- 7:27Speaker 3: and everybody kind of fell victim to something similar. I
- 7:31Speaker 3: also know that he's uh, very very much like a
- 7:40Speaker 3: lot most quarterbacks, to be honest, where you're putting a
- 7:45Speaker 3: lot of work into something and your first time doing
- 7:48Speaker 3: it for a collective four quarters in months, you're not
- 7:54Speaker 3: at your best.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Wow, I got we overshot that, I got way over
- 8:00Speaker 2: shot that I counted.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I counted ten.
- 8:03Speaker 4: Okay, I counted twelve.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Man, that's the worst game ever. I thought I was.
- 8:09Speaker 1: I was convinced when I heard that the first time.
- 8:11Speaker 1: It sounded like all he did was say and was off.
- 8:15Speaker 2: I mean, twelve is still a lot, and that is
- 8:17Speaker 2: a lot for a professional coach. All right, well we
- 8:20Speaker 2: ruined that game, but let us discuss all right, all right, give.
- 8:25Speaker 4: Me ben, Oh, no, where'd you go? No, you're kidding,
- 8:35Speaker 4: there's no.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Way we've been cursed.
- 8:37Speaker 5: This game is still one.
- 8:46Speaker 4: Did it do?
- 8:51Speaker 1: All right?
- 8:51Speaker 4: Well, the Gremlins have a t hold on, hold on,
- 8:54Speaker 4: hold on here, hold on.
- 8:58Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, we might have have a ben calling
- 9:01Speaker 5: in right now.
- 9:07Speaker 6: I beg all right, we are, we are continuing. The
- 9:11Speaker 6: Gremlins will not win. We have a rule here, the
- 9:14Speaker 6: Gremlins will not win. Never, never will we allow the gremlins.
- 9:21Speaker 6: I just want you to know that I absolutely nailed
- 9:24Speaker 6: the last couple of minutes of the malt Of monologue.
- 9:26Speaker 6: Absolutely killed it. Uh So, I don't know where where
- 9:30Speaker 6: was I, Laura, you weren't even listening either, were you
- 9:33Speaker 6: were not listening?
- 9:34Speaker 1: No, No, I tried to talk to you.
- 9:35Speaker 5: You just disappeared into the wilderness.
- 9:38Speaker 6: Yeah. So I was essentially talking to myself, is what
- 9:41Speaker 6: I was. I was screaming into the powerful microphone here
- 9:47Speaker 6: and the only person listening they're not really people that
- 9:51Speaker 6: the gremlins. So the gremlins really so, so what you know,
- 9:55Speaker 6: I had some bullet points so that I was trying to.
- 9:57Speaker 4: Get to the Gremlins attacked right after we finished the game.
- 9:59Speaker 6: We all right, Well, I had asked the question and
- 10:07Speaker 6: then I answered the question like a lunatic, and no
- 10:11Speaker 6: one heard that. So we played the Mike McDaniel SoundBite
- 10:15Speaker 6: and we were completely wrong on that and so then
- 10:18Speaker 6: my my whole point was, like, what was the reacting
- 10:21Speaker 6: Because the headlines all over the internet where Mike McDaniel
- 10:24Speaker 6: says to his performing he criticized too and all that.
- 10:27Speaker 6: So my reaction was, I love that this counts as
- 10:33Speaker 6: tough love, Like this is like your death spot. You're
- 10:36Speaker 6: a drill sergeant, you're a boot camp. I think that's lit.
- 10:40Speaker 6: Like to me, that is soft sirt, like like that's
- 10:45Speaker 6: not faint phrase, that's that's fainting on stage is what
- 10:48Speaker 6: that is. The the quirky mastermind with the laminated play
- 10:52Speaker 6: sheet and all that stuff, and it's like McDaniel, he
- 10:56Speaker 6: could have just come out to listen to a suck,
- 10:59Speaker 6: you know, to to what was bad without saying those
- 11:02Speaker 6: words stumble bum By by Mike McDaniel. And we had
- 11:07Speaker 6: some fun with it, but it sounds he sounds like
- 11:09Speaker 6: a guy McDaniel, like he's he's on a casting call,
- 11:14Speaker 6: auditioning for a starring role in you know, if they
- 11:18Speaker 6: were to make another Cheech and Chong movie or a remaker,
- 11:21Speaker 6: you know, the whole thing. He's always fumbling around with
- 11:24Speaker 6: his words, filling the silence with ums and us and
- 11:27Speaker 6: all that. He always sounds like we see a lot
- 11:30Speaker 6: of discus. He sounds like McDaniel. He just smoked the
- 11:33Speaker 6: ball in the parking lot and then walked into the
- 11:35Speaker 6: press conference like here, I am, what's up guys? And uh,
- 11:39Speaker 6: there's also a little bit of stage fright, like public
- 11:43Speaker 6: speaking is not my thing either. I said, well, you
- 11:45Speaker 6: do a radio show, you must be in the published
- 11:46Speaker 6: meaning why I do this? But when I go out
- 11:49Speaker 6: and have to speak every once in a while at events,
- 11:51Speaker 6: it's not really my favorite thing to do. It is not.
- 11:55Speaker 6: And so he needed those filler words. It's a word sound,
- 12:00Speaker 6: it's um. So it's the fillibus, just like political people
- 12:06Speaker 6: when they're caught off guard and they just make a salad.
- 12:09Speaker 6: It's a word salad and all that stuff. So one
- 12:13Speaker 6: thing I am sure of, thousand percent sure of, is
- 12:18Speaker 6: no matter what, no matter what happens, these two are
- 12:22Speaker 6: tied together. It's not like the Dolphins are going to
- 12:24Speaker 6: get rid of Touau and keep Mike McDaniel, or keep
- 12:29Speaker 6: Tua and get rid of Mike McDaniel. When they blow
- 12:33Speaker 6: this thing up, they're going to get rid of everybody.
- 12:35Speaker 6: They have a new general manager in Miami, and Tua
- 12:38Speaker 6: has got a lot of job security, not only because
- 12:39Speaker 6: he has a two hundred twelve million dollar contract, but
- 12:42Speaker 6: also the fact that you've got Zach Wilson and Quinn
- 12:46Speaker 6: Yours for the backup. That is job security is what
- 12:50Speaker 6: that is now. Secondly, in New York, the story that
- 12:56Speaker 6: I wanted to get into with you is about Molik Neighbors,
- 12:58Speaker 6: who was trying to downplay I don't if you saw
- 13:01Speaker 6: this or not, but he's trying to downplay got to
- 13:04Speaker 6: her fluffle on the sidelines with Brian Bayball during the
- 13:08Speaker 6: loss to the Commanders, and he's trying to downplay it
- 13:12Speaker 6: Elite Neighbors. He did acknowledge though, that he needs to
- 13:16Speaker 6: be more conscious of the cameras being on him, and
- 13:22Speaker 6: so as far as that might take on that Neighbors,
- 13:26Speaker 6: it's one of my pet pieces because Elite Neighbors wants
- 13:29Speaker 6: to us to believe that this is a blown out
- 13:33Speaker 6: of proportion situation and the reason that bothers me. Let
- 13:37Speaker 6: me tell you why, because this is the default response
- 13:42Speaker 6: of the NFL in twenty twenty five. Everything is blown
- 13:45Speaker 6: out of proportion, and as my friend Jay Scoop likes
- 13:49Speaker 6: to say that's bullpucky, is what that is. If you
- 13:52Speaker 6: don't want people reacting to your behavior on the sideline,
- 13:56Speaker 6: you know, maybe just maybe don't do what you do?
- 14:00Speaker 6: Is I know, heat of the moment all that stuff.
- 14:03Speaker 6: But that's generally any reasonable person that has a passion
- 14:07Speaker 6: for pigskin would say that malite neighbors look like he
- 14:13Speaker 6: was ready to strangle the head coach of the dolphins.
- 14:17Speaker 6: That's not a natural faith that. The body language all that.
- 14:22Speaker 6: And there's something that we brought up quite a bit
- 14:25Speaker 6: over the years talking about body language and big body
- 14:30Speaker 6: language guy, the slumping shoulders, the flexing with your fingers,
- 14:33Speaker 6: of the whole thing. It does tell a lot. And
- 14:37Speaker 6: there's a it's called the seven thirty eight fifty five rule,
- 14:40Speaker 6: which is not a great name for a rule, truly,
- 14:43Speaker 6: not a great name for the rule. They should come
- 14:46Speaker 6: up with something better than that. That's a terrible name
- 14:49Speaker 6: for the rule, but it's estifically this seven percent of
- 14:52Speaker 6: our communication as human beings, me and you. Seven percent
- 14:57Speaker 6: is body language, right, That's that's it. Thirty eight percent
- 15:02Speaker 6: is tone? Am I happy? Wait? Am I said boo?
- 15:10Speaker 6: Like that? Old thing right, So that's thirty eight percent,
- 15:14Speaker 6: so it worth to forty five percent, but fifty five
- 15:16Speaker 6: percent is body language. Fifty five percent is body language
- 15:22Speaker 6: and elite neighbors body language said I hate my quarterback,
- 15:25Speaker 6: I really don't like my coach. I really don't want
- 15:27Speaker 6: to be playing for the Giants. Now he came out.
- 15:30Speaker 6: He gave a cute explanation with leak neighbors. He said
- 15:33Speaker 6: he's got to NBF. He said natural bitch face. That's
- 15:38Speaker 6: his quote. I didn't say that. He said that's however,
- 15:42Speaker 6: to me, that is still it's still an excuse. The
- 15:46Speaker 6: target share wasn't the issue. He was targeted quite a bit.
- 15:50Speaker 6: He didn't catch most of the passes that were thrown
- 15:53Speaker 6: his way, but in terms of times being targeted and
- 15:57Speaker 6: all that, he was certainly targeted. I think twelve times,
- 16:00Speaker 6: which is more than enough for a headline receiver in
- 16:04Speaker 6: the NFL to get targeted that many times you only
- 16:07Speaker 6: caught five passes. So there was an issue being on
- 16:10Speaker 6: the same page with Russell Wilson, and when things break down,
- 16:13Speaker 6: you wear it on your face. It was like a
- 16:17Speaker 6: times square neon billboard, you know, giving similar energy to
- 16:22Speaker 6: Odell Beckham and every sideline shot becomes a soap opera.
- 16:27Speaker 6: But that boat is everywhere. It's just enhanced with the giants.
- 16:31Speaker 6: You think TV cut to Brian Dayball and Malik Neighbors
- 16:34Speaker 6: because they just want to do a check in and
- 16:37Speaker 6: see how they're doing. They smelled drama, blood in the
- 16:40Speaker 6: water and the sideline scowl and all that. And so
- 16:44Speaker 6: if you don't like that, you shouldn't play in the NFL.
- 16:47Speaker 6: Maybe you go to Jacksonville. It won't matter as much.
- 16:51Speaker 6: So there's that our final thought. Quickly as we wait
- 16:54Speaker 6: for the gremlins to leave the building. So a maid
- 16:58Speaker 6: complaint there in Dallas. Jerry Jones this week responded to
- 17:03Speaker 6: people upset that he did not negotiate with Michaeh Parson's
- 17:06Speaker 6: agent prior to trading him to the Green Bay Packers.
- 17:09Speaker 6: During his radio show, Jerry Jones said, there is no violation.
- 17:14Speaker 6: He said, that's about a rules violation. He says, no
- 17:17Speaker 6: violation because he has all the authority in the world
- 17:21Speaker 6: and the player has all the authority in the world
- 17:23Speaker 6: to negotiate directly with me. Jerry said, so real quick.
- 17:29Speaker 6: Jerry Jones, declaring that he did not violate any NFL
- 17:32Speaker 6: rules by ghosting Michael Parson's agent. So let's put that
- 17:35Speaker 6: into some context. So Jerry, the way I read this,
- 17:38Speaker 6: Jerry treating the NFL like he's Pony Soprano running the
- 17:44Speaker 6: bottom bings, right. He basically told the NFL forget about it,
- 17:49Speaker 6: no rules violated because Jerry's rules are the rules. It's
- 17:54Speaker 6: the soprano code that he's the boss, and he's the boss.
- 17:59Speaker 6: The bosses capeche like. Jerry did not negotiate with the
- 18:03Speaker 6: agent because he doesn't respect middleman. He went full Tony soprano.
- 18:08Speaker 6: He cut out the guide, taking a percentage, and flid
- 18:12Speaker 6: the envelope of cash right across the table to Michael
- 18:15Speaker 6: Parson said, here's the envelope and and that's it. And
- 18:18Speaker 6: it's like the whole mindset is I'm the one who
- 18:20Speaker 6: makes the money. I decide where the money goes. That's Jerry.
- 18:24Speaker 6: That's what he did. And I love the fact now
- 18:27Speaker 6: that he's double dog daring, that Jerry Jones is double
- 18:30Speaker 6: dog daring Roger Goodell to whack him with, you know,
- 18:35Speaker 6: some kind of punishment. It's like good plussed, well, you
- 18:38Speaker 6: gonna to punish me. And the other part of this
- 18:40Speaker 6: which is great. The NFL Players Association is freaking out.
- 18:44Speaker 6: You didn't talk to the agent, you didn't fall over
- 18:46Speaker 6: the rules. And Jerry's like, I don't care. And he's
- 18:49Speaker 6: sitting there chopping on a cigar and he's drinking a
- 18:52Speaker 6: nice cocktail and he's like, Hey, my family, it's my team,
- 18:55Speaker 6: it's my rules, it's my way. And that's that's how
- 18:58Speaker 6: Jerry does it, and so is the Ben Mahlor Show.
- 19:03Speaker 6: So I think what we'll do here, unless the gremlins
- 19:07Speaker 6: leave us, will just have an extended couple of segments

- 22:59Speaker 6: of the day. North Dakota State football player has been
- 23:03Speaker 6: cut from the schools team after he blanked. So that
- 23:07Speaker 6: is the question. What is the answer? Late Night drug
- 23:11Speaker 6: tester says he was caught with the farmer's daughter. Interesting,
- 23:16Speaker 6: all right. King Roy says he made an airplane joke.
- 23:18Speaker 6: That's not polite. Who else do we have page down?
- 23:21Speaker 6: Al the alienal Finer says after he was caught in
- 23:25Speaker 6: a hot stub with the dean's wife and daughter. Wow,
- 23:28Speaker 6: very specifically, Yeah, after he professed his love for the Gretlins,
- 23:35Speaker 6: I cut him too, says Ferg dog Andy in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota,
- 23:41Speaker 6: says the answer to the rid of the day. The
- 23:44Speaker 6: player from North Dakota got cut after he was caught
- 23:47Speaker 6: serving buffalo chips to visiting teams. That's what he had
- 23:53Speaker 6: to say. Who else do we have? Let's see page down,
- 23:56Speaker 6: page down. He was cut from the team for showing
- 23:59Speaker 6: support for the Grevlins attacking the studio. That was big
- 24:02Speaker 6: Greg and Iowa were soaking his jockstrap and the team
- 24:07Speaker 6: datorade cooler. Well that's not very nice. That's not good.
- 24:11Speaker 6: Who else do we have? Fades down? I can't read
- 24:14Speaker 6: that he took blind Scott lunch. According to Femy, the
- 24:19Speaker 6: top uber eats driver there in Minnesota. All right, that's enough, Larena,
- 24:24Speaker 6: do you have an answer again? The Mallard Riddle of
- 24:26Speaker 6: the day. A North Dakota State University football player has
- 24:31Speaker 6: been cut from the school team after he blanked.
- 24:35Speaker 5: After he blinked Yeah, he was caught graffitiing the bathrooms.
- 24:40Speaker 6: Oh, you should never graffiti the bathroom. Although it's rather
- 24:43Speaker 6: you graffiti the bathroom than destroy the bathroom. But that
- 24:46Speaker 6: is incorrect, Unfortunately, the correct answer. This North Dakota State
- 24:52Speaker 6: University football player has been cut after the team from
- 24:55Speaker 6: the team school after he was arrested and accused of
- 24:59Speaker 6: stealing a bat containing more than two hundred and seventy
- 25:03Speaker 6: thousand dollars. You're probably wondering, You're probably wondering, how did
- 25:10Speaker 6: a bag have two hundred and seventy thousand dollars? And
- 25:13Speaker 6: how does a college kid find a bag with two
- 25:15Speaker 6: hunred seventy thousand dollars with his snuff? Well, he was
- 25:19Speaker 6: he was apparently at a cabin near a boat, and
- 25:24Speaker 6: he went on to a boat like a yacht. This
- 25:28Speaker 6: is that on the fourth of July, dreadful. Well, it
- 25:32Speaker 6: was late Minnetonka. There was like a Rolllex watch, there
- 25:34Speaker 6: must have been a few Rolex watches in there and
- 25:37Speaker 6: some other stuff and it was a big bag and
- 25:39Speaker 6: so he just like took the bag. What's in the bag?
- 25:43Speaker 6: And yeah, yeah, so he's facing some you know, some
- 25:46Speaker 6: criminal situations. So there you go. That is the Mallard
- 25:50Speaker 6: riddle of the day, and that leaves us right into
- 25:52Speaker 6: let's see here, what do we have.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Really more now, time for time more.

- 26:38Speaker 4: is for the whole crew.

- 26:54Speaker 6: LA and we were, you know, we just did news
- 26:58Speaker 6: updates during the day. And then they they were worried
- 27:02Speaker 6: actually that there was they were going to attack the
- 27:07Speaker 6: Fox studios, the TV, the movie studios over there. So
- 27:10Speaker 6: then they started like evacuating people, but they didn't evacuate
- 27:14Speaker 6: us because we had to stay on the air and
- 27:15Speaker 6: all this. It was. It was a crazy day, obviously,
- 27:17Speaker 6: but I was working in Fox Sports Radio doing updates
- 27:21Speaker 6: and uh yeah, I will always remember that obviously. That
- 27:25Speaker 6: was one of the big days in my life. What
- 27:28Speaker 6: about you have, Loraina? What were you doing way back

- 27:42Speaker 5: was staring at the TVs.
- 27:44Speaker 4: And I was like, what's going on?
- 27:46Speaker 5: And my teacher was just crying and I was like, Oh,

- 27:52Speaker 6: Yeah, oh wow, I get you. You're that's that's like
- 27:56Speaker 6: an age flex. What you did there is an age flex,
- 27:58Speaker 6: an age flex with that. I often remember when I
- 28:02Speaker 6: woke up, I had an early shift, and I mean
- 28:04Speaker 6: I was working nights mostly back then, but I had
- 28:06Speaker 6: to do an early shift and I still remember my
- 28:08Speaker 6: alarm went off and I heard, you know, it was
- 28:12Speaker 6: a clock radio back then, and I had there was
- 28:15Speaker 6: an emergency broadcast alert because it was in between the
- 28:18Speaker 6: first plane and the second plane, and I remember hearing
- 28:22Speaker 6: the emergency broadcast saying. I was like, I thought I
- 28:25Speaker 6: was dreaming because that had never been activated in my life.
- 28:29Speaker 4: And do you hear that? When you ever hear that?
- 28:32Speaker 6: Well, that was the only time I've ever heard it.
- 28:33Speaker 6: I don't know, maybe it's been activated since then, but
- 28:36Speaker 6: that was it. So I remember that too. I was like,
- 28:38Speaker 6: I thought I was dreaming. I was like, yeah, it's
- 28:39Speaker 6: in the same what about you, Coop.
- 28:42Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that when it happened, I was I
- 28:45Speaker 4: was sleeping.
- 28:47Speaker 6: Yeah, that was early, it was like five in the morning.
- 28:50Speaker 4: Yeah. But then I do remember my mom waking me up.
- 28:55Speaker 4: She was on the phone with my grandma, who uh
- 28:59Speaker 4: lived in Brooklyn her entire life, and so she was
- 29:04Speaker 4: like giving the play by play to my mom over
- 29:06Speaker 4: the phone and then my Mom's like, we're under attack,
- 29:10Speaker 4: and I'm like, what what is happening? Yeah, and then
- 29:16Speaker 4: we still went to school and it was just it
- 29:20Speaker 4: was weird. It was a weird vibe that entire day.
- 29:24Speaker 6: Yeah. I also remember my my brother lives in Manhattan,
- 29:29Speaker 6: so not that far away, you know, these doesn't live
- 29:31Speaker 6: down on the southern part of that. But my mom
- 29:34Speaker 6: makes you rest me. She was freaking out because my
- 29:37Speaker 6: sister in Ma was pregnant at the time, and she was,
- 29:39Speaker 6: Oh my God like that made it even worse. So
- 29:42Speaker 6: I just everyone was panicking that day. Anyway, all right,
- 29:46Speaker 6: it's ass been. Your questions are answers for the rest
- 29:51Speaker 6: of the hour. What is next? What do we have
- 29:53Speaker 6: next year?
- 29:54Speaker 4: Lady Sideburns, Hi, Lady Sideburns. I would like to know
- 29:58Speaker 4: have any of you ever tried dog or cat food?
- 30:05Speaker 6: Why? Why would you? No? No, I'm not no. I
- 30:12Speaker 6: think a better question would be A better question would be,
- 30:18Speaker 6: if you were to eat dog or cat food, would
- 30:21Speaker 6: you eat the wet variety or the other variety? Like
- 30:25Speaker 6: which variety would you eat? If you were to eat
- 30:28Speaker 6: the food? That's I think you've got to eat the
- 30:33Speaker 6: country variety.
- 30:33Speaker 4: I think right well, I think based off the look
- 30:37Speaker 4: Lorena and I shared, I think both of our answers
- 30:40Speaker 4: are different from yours, Lorena.
- 30:43Speaker 5: So you know those brothers I talked about with the spit, Yeah,
- 30:48Speaker 5: they used to hold me down and shove bacon strips
- 30:51Speaker 5: in my mouth.
- 30:54Speaker 6: How old were you?
- 30:57Speaker 5: Seven?
- 30:57Speaker 3: Eight?
- 30:57Speaker 4: Six five?
- 31:01Speaker 6: You still this is a traumatic memory? You still remember this? Yeah?
- 31:04Speaker 5: And then you know I used to just share them
- 31:05Speaker 5: with my dog after that we'd kind of just lay
- 31:07Speaker 5: in the backyard and share some Bagan strips.
- 31:10Speaker 6: Oh my god, so you like to taste them?
- 31:12Speaker 5: You kept eating the worst things I've had worse.
- 31:16Speaker 6: Yeah, you could look like that.
- 31:19Speaker 4: Well, I guess, I guess mine's the worst because you
- 31:22Speaker 4: were being forced.
- 31:24Speaker 1: I know.
- 31:24Speaker 4: I tried. I just when I was a kid. I
- 31:26Speaker 4: was like, I'll try it, like I don't know, uh,
- 31:31Speaker 4: and and I tried both the wet and the dry food.
- 31:34Speaker 4: What about wet cat food? Though you haven't done that. No,
- 31:37Speaker 4: I haven't tried cat food.
- 31:38Speaker 5: Crossing the line.
- 31:39Speaker 4: I didn't have a cat until I was an adult.
- 31:41Speaker 4: So do you ever smell it and wonder? No, not
- 31:44Speaker 4: with the cat food. The cat food smells disgusting. But
- 31:47Speaker 4: but that's what made me try the dog food as
- 31:49Speaker 4: a kid, Like you would open the web and I
- 31:50Speaker 4: thought that smells kind of good. I was like, yeah,
- 31:53Speaker 4: I was like, this smells delicious. Honestly, it wasn't. It
- 31:57Speaker 4: was not.
- 31:59Speaker 6: No, you look up like what it's made, like the
- 32:02Speaker 6: types of the worst quality of meat that's not for
- 32:05Speaker 6: human consumption. They usually they give they give the dogs.
- 32:09Speaker 6: I mean that's usually what they Maybe it's better now
- 32:11Speaker 6: but I don't even think it is. I remember when
- 32:14Speaker 6: I was working early in my radio radio career, there
- 32:18Speaker 6: was a guy he had worked in Iowa for a
- 32:20Speaker 6: while and he had given like the cattle, like the
- 32:22Speaker 6: pipes of beef. He gave this the on the on
- 32:24Speaker 6: the radio and he's explaining to me, like the different
- 32:26Speaker 6: the different different meats, and I remember, like, there's the lowest.
- 32:32Speaker 6: I don't think you even have anymore. It's called four
- 32:34Speaker 6: D beef. It was dead disease, dying disabled beef, and.
- 32:39Speaker 10: And that was that was what went to dog food.
- 32:42Speaker 6: And but for a while they were serving it like
- 32:44Speaker 6: fast food restaurants and they stopped. The government got involved
- 32:47Speaker 6: in to stop doing that.

- 35:10Speaker 4: know do you sleep on top of or under your
- 35:13Speaker 4: bed sheet?
- 35:16Speaker 6: So it depends on the season. I like to sleep
- 35:19Speaker 6: in a morgue. My ideal conditions are about as cold
- 35:25Speaker 6: as you can pop about. I don't sleep well as
- 35:27Speaker 6: it's hot, so I generally speaking, will be under blankets
- 35:32Speaker 6: because I'll blast even in winter time. I'll like, he
- 35:35Speaker 6: doesn't get that cold, but we live. But I'll put
- 35:37Speaker 6: the I'll put the ac on, put a fan on.
- 35:39Speaker 6: I gotta have some white noise in the background and
- 35:41Speaker 6: all that stuff. So yeah, I'm an under the blanky guy.
- 35:44Speaker 5: What about you of a rain definitely depends on the
- 35:47Speaker 5: season and how cold it is in the room. I
- 35:49Speaker 5: will get all the way up underneath those blankets, like
- 35:51Speaker 5: head all the way under and tuck my whole body in.
- 35:54Speaker 4: The question is about the sheet, That's what I'm.
- 35:57Speaker 5: Saying, all the way up under the sheets, right, it's
- 35:59Speaker 5: whether it's it's really coold or not. And if it's not,
- 36:01Speaker 5: I'll just get underneath the regular sheet on top of
- 36:03Speaker 5: my bed.
- 36:06Speaker 6: Who did not like your ant?
- 36:08Speaker 4: I'm just like you know, because it's different. I'm always
- 36:12Speaker 4: underneath the sheet. My wife is always on top of
- 36:15Speaker 4: the sheet. It creates problems. It's very he misplaced his anger.
- 36:21Speaker 6: There's a wall divide between and.
- 36:24Speaker 4: Then she like she'll toss and turn and it screws
- 36:27Speaker 4: up the bed sheets. And then so then I when
- 36:28Speaker 4: I go to get in bed, like I can't get
- 36:31Speaker 4: under the sheet. And I always need to be under
- 36:33Speaker 4: the sheet, no matter the season. In the summertime, when
- 36:36Speaker 4: it's too hot, I'll just I'll just take the the
- 36:39Speaker 4: we'll take the comforter off the bed and it's just
- 36:41Speaker 4: the sheet. Yeah, But no matter what, I'm under the sheet.
- 36:45Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm the same way. Quickly, what have we got? Quickly? Quickly?
- 36:48Speaker 4: This is for you, Ben, what's the best and worst
- 36:52Speaker 4: part of working with Tom Looney?
