• 0:22
  Speaker 1: in hour number four on this Friday, the 23rd day
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of October, Zippity-day. We discuss the Cowboys. How do you
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: grade Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer's self-assessment that he's a great coach?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. I'm a great coach. Is Marlon
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Humphrey right that Lamar Jackson gets unfair treatment from the media?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Or is this just another case of a teammate playing defense?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: for his star quarterback. And how embarrassing in basketball is
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: it the New York Knickerbockers handed their assistant coaches empty
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: championship ring boxes on ring night at the Garden? Who goofed?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I've got to know. We'll get to all that and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: more right now. Settle in. Have a great weekend. Fifth hour,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: fifth hour, fifth hour podcast. Here is hour number four, though. Well,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: that's one way. That's one way to look at things.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree. Just don't look at
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the standings. Do not look at the standings. Welcome in
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maller Show.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: We are in the air everywhere. Close by. Close by
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: as we listen with half an ear but talk with
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a very big mouth. We've been doing that for a while.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And as long as management doesn't wake up, we'll keep
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: doing it. Coast to coast, border to border, and beyond,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: on the vast and ear-poppingly powerful microphones of FSR emanating
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: live from the logger. The logger heads of the audio
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: darkness guaranteed human from the world-famous Fox Sports Radio studios
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: where retired caller Dorco the Comedian and Blind Seabass are
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: all about the one. Ergo, that would be Fox 1.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: There is no time like October. And this is what
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: it's all been for. All the spring training. All the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: regular season games. It's all for this. The World Series
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: is here. It's streaming live on Fox 1. And according
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to our friend Billy in South Florida, the greatest World
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Series of all time. I think that's what he meant
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to say. It's the Brewers versus the Rays on baseball's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: biggest stage. Stream it live on Fox 1. Now, Jerry
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: from Rhode Island, who enjoyed some schadenfreude when the Dodgers
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: were eliminated, she checked in and she said, hey, I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: really like that. And so would our friend in Pennsylvania, Jonathan. Well,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: he's actually in Delaware. And Fry Daddy. Fry Daddy, who
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: spent 20 years ripping LeBron James and all of a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: sudden he likes LeBron James. I wonder why. I wonder why.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: They all said, hey, what about the King? I said, well, no,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it's not LeBron. It's DraftKings. DraftKings is an official partner
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of the NBA and is now available in all 50 states.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So wherever you live, follow your favorite NBA stars. Get
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: excited about the biggest matchups and lock in on those
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: buzzer-beating moments. And with DraftKings, it's all in one app.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Right now, use the promo code DRAFTKINGS. Maller, M-A-L-L-E-R, to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's promo code
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Maller at DraftKings. The crown is yours. And we had
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a Thursday night NFL game. Not a terrible game. I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: don't know that I'll remember it two days from now.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: We did have a game, and the game went the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: way of the team from Chicago as Drake May with
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: an oopsie again, another oopsie. crucial mistake through an interception
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: at the goal line and he did have good stats
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: if you're a stat humper you're like oh what are
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you talking about mallor drake may have 321 yards passing
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and two touchdowns average 10 yards per pass okay all
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that's good stuff all that's good stuff patriots also lost
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and they lost against a very beatable bears team patriots
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: defense gave up 400 yards of office neither team could
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: convert On third down, there were a ton of penalties.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: 19 total penalties in the game. And the Bears end
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: up getting the win. So they're 5-2. Patriots back to 4-3.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And we did a full Maller monologue on that. Also, A.J.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Brown continues to be a liability for the Patriots. He's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: just not been very good. Looks like a washed-up athlete, A.J. Brown.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: There's not a lot left. That's what it would appear.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: We're getting late now. Week 7. Week 7. I know
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: he missed a couple of games and all that, but
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: it's week seven, and he looks slow, plodding, and he
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: does not look like a game-breaker at all. But our
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: lead this hour, speaking of not having game-breakers, we go
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to Jerry's World. How about them Cowboys? Cowboys coach Brian
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Schottenheimer is furious, shoddy. He's very upset that Dallas is
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: not only a football team, they suck football. And he declared, quote,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I am frustrated and pissed off. You're damn right I am,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: he said. Now, that was interesting. The more interesting part
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: was what he said later on. And I don't know
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: if you were paying attention to this or not. It
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: caught my attention. It ended up on my radar. And
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I want to share it with you. I'd like to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: share it with you. So despite a 9-13-1 record coaching
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones' football team, Brian Schottenheimer confidently proclaimed, quote, I
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: know what a great coach I am. Close quote. He
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: promised to fix the problems. He's going to fix them.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, Cowboy Finn. He's going to fix the problems. Now,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Dallas has lost two straight games. They have scored fewer
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: than 20 points in both games, despite their quarterback failure.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: talking about how wonderful their offense was going to be.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: The defense continues to suck. In fact, somehow the Cowboys,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: despite adding multiple players that they said would improve the defense,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the Cowboy defense ranks 30th. They're allowing 382.5 yards per game.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: They're actually worse this year than they were last year.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And Philadelphia, granted the Eagles are without a bunch of players,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: but Philadelphia waits Monday night so the Cowboys don't play
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: until the final game of the card. That is a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: good jumping-off point. Let us discuss. Question. How do you
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: grade Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer's self-assessment that he's a, quote,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: great coach? All right, so I've got San Marzano tomato,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: sworn duty, and public service announcement. And we'll be hemming
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and hawing and enjoying the spread of the baba ghanoush,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the gaba ghoul, and the jambalaya is what we're going
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to do. Now, first of all, the Maller report card.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: So how do I grade Brian Schottenheimer saying he's a
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: great coach? Now, part of it's like, well, listen, you've
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: got to have confidence. This is the ego business. And
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: he's the son of an NFL coach who's one of
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the all-time winningest regular season coaches, the late, great Marty Schottenheimer.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: who had one of the wonderful rants back in the day,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: underrated rant, Marty Schottenheimer. That being said, as a teacher
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of sports radio, I am not going to give Brian Schottenheimer, Shottie,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: an A. I will not give him a B. Is
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it a C? No. How about a D? No. I'm
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: not going to even give Shottie an F. Brian Schottenheimer,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I wrote down on my scorecard, Shottie gets a TD.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about a touchdown. I'm talking about
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the grade being TD as in tone deaf. Tone deaf. Hey, Shottie,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: read the room, dummy. Read the room. You've got champagne confidence.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And the results, tap water. Tap water from Flint, Michigan.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: It's like giving yourself Employee of the Month at a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: company that's going bankrupt.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: What are you doing?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Seriously. As the big tuna, Bill Parcells famously said, you
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: are what your record says you are. And Shottie's record
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: says that he is a San Marzano tomato can. He
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: is a tomato can. The Cowboys are tomato cans. In
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the history of the NFL, all the coaches that have
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: been in the NFL, Brian Schottenheimer ranks 309th all-time in
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: win percentage. That's it. 413 winning percentage. He's behind legends
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: like Antonio Pierce from the Raiders, Joe Judge with the Giants,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli with multiple teams, well, the Lions mainly back
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in the day on the coaching food change. Not exactly
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore. More like Mount Rushless, if you will. And
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the whole gaudy offensive... performance the gaudy offense named by
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott ranks 13th in the NFL which would not
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: be a problem if the Cowboy defense was not near
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the bottom and that G in the gaudy offense actually
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: turns out to be generally average so Dallas is playing
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: mediocre football However, their coach has achieved, apparently, perfection in self-admiration.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: So there is that. All right, secondly, to Baltimore we go,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: where Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey made some headlines here,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: blasting critics for the unfair treatment. And he said the constant, quote, slander,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: close quote, of quarterback Lamar Jackson, food truck Jackson, arguing
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson faces a double standard compared to other
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: NFL stars. Now, Marlon Humphrey, longtime NFL player, defending, defending Jackson,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and he suggested that because Lamar does not have an agent,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: he has his mama, is Mamou as his agent, that
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that leaves him exposed, if you will, vulnerable to negative coverage.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: So he was defending Lamar Jackson's toughness because Jackson's, I
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: don't know if you know this, he's been out for
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a while. And Humphrey insisted that he'll play whenever he's healthy.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Jackson suffered a left ankle sprain October 4th. It was
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: initially said to be not that big a deal. That
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: was a lie. Apparently against Tennessee, he has missed Baltimore's
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: last two games against Atlanta State. And Cleveland, the Ravens
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: are 1-1. It is, as of this moment, undecided if
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: he'll play this weekend. It certainly appears, based on some
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: video that we may or may not have gotten from
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: our boots-on-the-ground sports with Coleman, that he will not be
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: playing unless you can play with a limp, which is possible,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I guess. I don't think you can swim. You can
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: swim with a limp, but it's walking that's the problem.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: So here's the question. Is Marlon Humphrey right that Lamar
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Jackson gets unfair treatment as the Ravens quarterback, or is
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: this just another case of a teammate playing defense for
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: his quarterback? That's my quarterback! That's my quarterback! All right,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: so this is the locker room bro code in full bloom.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: That's it. The Ravens have apparently established a Lamar Jackson
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: criticism-free zone. Congratulations. Please leave your independent thought at the door.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey is doing what 99% of teammates do. He
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: is defending the family business. Defend the family business. He's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: performing his sworn duties as a card-carrying member of the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Mutual Admiration Society. And that doesn't make his argument correct.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Last I checked. Two MVP awards come with two MVP-sized
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: helpings of heavy criticism. The criticism, by the way, they're saying, well,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: it's slander. If criticism is slander, every single gasbag and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: blowhard that does sports talk radio across America and the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: world would urgently need a high-priced criminal defense attorney on
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: speed dial. You feel me on that? It's not slander.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Of course it's not. It's simply slander. the baseline cost
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of doing business at an elite professional level where people
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: actually care about your business and they talk about it. Now, meanwhile,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the exclusive Lamar Jackson Protection Agency, we've determined, is open
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No appointment necessary.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Walk-ins are welcome. So come on in now. You come
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: on in. All right, final thought. We're going to change
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: it up a little bit. We're going to go to jewelryrow.com.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Jewelry Row. I want to thank our friend Tim McDarby
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: there who sent this in. A couple of other people
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: have sent this as well. This is a wild story.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: This is next level. So the New York Knickerbockers had
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: their big night of celebration. Walt Clyde Frazier. Mike Breen
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: were there. Adam Silver not there because Adam Silver and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the owner of the Knicks don't like each other. Anyway,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the Knicks assistant coaches. This is wild. Did you hear
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: about this?
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: No?
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, so good. So the New York Knicks assistant coaches...
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: apparently received boxes, ring boxes. It was ring night. They
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: received ring boxes. What's in the box? Well, it turns
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: out the ring boxes the assistants got were empty.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Empty.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they honored the Knicks. They raised the banner. They
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: hoisted the banner up at Madison Square Garden. And the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: assistant coaches got bupkis. Their rings were The Knicks are
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: saying will supposedly arrive at a later date. Now, meanwhile,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: there are several longtime employees, loyal foot soldiers of Madison
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Square Garden and the Knicks, who were denied championship rings altogether.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And adding insult to injury, the employees received email a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: few months during last NBA season. Last NBA season. So
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: these employees received a company-wide email promising complimentary championship rings.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: They clicked on the thing only to discover it was
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a cybersecurity device. fishing test and so now the people
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: that clicked on it thinking oh man i'm getting i'm
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: getting a ring i'm all excited man that's gonna be
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: like the the great trip you know my my kids
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: will get it i'm gonna pass it down to them
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a family heirloom it's gonna be great
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and instead they have to require they're required to do
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: mandatory online training because they click the link thinking that
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: james dolan was an upstanding man was going to give
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: them a championship ring So as you might imagine, that
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: story about the Knicks coaches, the assistant coaches getting empty
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: wooden boxes, owner James Dolan is getting absolutely charbroiled. A
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: lot of criticism for the embarrassing championship celebration fiasco. Here's
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the question. How embarrassing is it that the New York
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Knickerbockers handed these assistant coaches... Empty wooden boxes that are
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: supposed to hold the championship ring. So the Knicks finally
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: did something. They're not one in my lifetime. I'm getting old.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: They finally won, right? And James Dolan turns ring night
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: into a Cracker Jack promotion. Congratulations, Mr. Dolan.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Dum-dum.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: You won a beautiful box with absolutely nothing inside. Come
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: on down. It's like, let's make a deal, and you
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: pick the wrong curtain, and you got the two cows.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: That's all you got. And as for the hardworking employees,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: no jewelry for you. But you do get a complimentary
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: trip to cybersecurity detention. Congratulations. Only the Knicks could turn
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: a championship night celebration into an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Couldn't you see that with Larry David back? I used
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: to love that show. It's obviously not on anymore. It's like, oh,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: everyone gets a ring. I'm sorry, you didn't get a ring. Well,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I want a ring.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Well, you don't get one.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: So think of this like a public service announcement.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: PSA.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: You can take James Dolan out of schmuck land. You
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: can give him an NBA championship, but you cannot take
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the schmuck land out of James Dolan. Once a schmuck,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: always a schmuck. Whether you're in the front row or
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the last row, schmuck, schmuck, schmuck, schmuck, schmuck, schmuck. It
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: is the Ben Maller Show, the chutzpah of the Knicks
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to do what they did. What are we doing? Even
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Joey the Bellman is raising his eyes. He's saying, what
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: are we doing here? This is so ridiculous. It is
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show. If you would like to be part,

  Speaker 1: have Sports Jeopardy. I'll get to that in a little bit.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: The Great Fat Hope. What is that about? The Great
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Fat Hope. You'll find out in just minutes. Got the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: World Series coming up tonight. I wonder what the audience
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: is going to be for that. I hope I'm wrong.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I hope they do great numbers. I have a feeling
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a hot mess tonight. And
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with that. But the Brewers and
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Rays, the national fan base, not that big.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Not that big. We have people with a lot to say,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: some of them on the phone, some of them on
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the X-Machine. So where shall we start? We're going to
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: start on the X-Machine. At Ben Maller. That is at
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Ben Maller. A lot of hot take artists out there.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Late Night Drug Tester says the Brewers' ownership got shamed
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: with the World Series tickets forever. Dolan doesn't care. what
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: people think of his cheap tactics. No rings for the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: unwashed employees. Fergdog says, Ben, do you think the new
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: look Clippers can take down the Showtime Lakers? I know
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: our team is, what is he, back out there. I
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: think he said a different word. Anyway, I will probably
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: not watch that game. I'm going to watch the World
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Series and I got other things going on. I don't know.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go no. I'm going to go no
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: on that. But thank you, Fergdog. I appreciate that. And
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: no question from Fergdog on the mailbag or Alf last weekend.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe I missed it. Maybe they sent it and it
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: ended up in my junk folder. That's possible that that
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: happened on the Fifth Hour Mailbag, which we do every Sunday. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phones right now, and
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: let's say hello. We have the Coop Scoop on entertainment
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: coming up in a couple minutes. Let's say hello to
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Mike the Leprechaun, who picks the Patriots every single week.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Every week this guy picks the Patriots, and he doesn't
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: think about it. He just blindly picks them. How'd that
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: work out for you, Mike the Leprechaun?
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: Good morning.
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: They laughed.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's a good take. Thank you for that. Nobody
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: else has that. Send that out, Coop. The Patriots lost.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Put that, okay? Yes? All right, thank you.
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: Well, Greg May had an interception, as you saw, and
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: that was the problem. And actually, I was very much,
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: you don't like Caleb Williams, anyway. You're always knocking him down.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I don't hate him. I'm not a big fan. I
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: don't know. I saw him at SC, and all the hype, and.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: He was an empty stats guy at SC, and he
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: looks pretty much like that in the NFL. I watch him.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not like, this guy's great. There are people that
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: love him, though.
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: Garbage time.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's fine. I don't think he's wonderful, though.
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: It's like garbage time for you joke about Whitman. He
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: does a good job in garbage time. Is Poppy on hold?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Let me see. I don't know. He was on hold earlier.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: My board is– all my things are frozen here. Is
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Poppy there?
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: Hello?
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hello, Poppy.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: Welcome.
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: Poppy.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Hello, Mentor.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Hey, Leprechaun.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: We're ready for the first night at NFL. Let's go
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: with the pigs, Leprechaun.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: Poppy, are you ready for the mail diagrams?
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: We turn the transmitter down when you guys get on here.
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: Oh, yes.
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: Mail to the mail flag.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: Hi, Mentor.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Can we do this, please? Come on.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Okay, the first game, we're going to go with, it's
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: going to be a good game, Indianapolis Colts versus Minnesota Vikings.
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: For Hunter E.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: James' team.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: And I'm really liking that game, the undefeated Vikings. We're
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: going to go with the Minnesota Vikings. For me, mine
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: is six and a half. Kyle Murray, over 1.5 pounds.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right. You like the Vikings. Leprechaun, who do
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: you like in that game?
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: Vikings, the Irish Vikings.
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: They're only three points in the dogs. A favorite, sorry.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: No, it's actually six and a half on draft.
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: Okay, that changes yesterday.
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: All right, moving on, Poppy.
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: I know you're going to read your mind.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: Miami and the Jets. Yeah, Miami, the Jets on that one,
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: good one. Leprechaun, I'm really liking Geno.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: How is that a good game? Why would you pick
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: that game? That's a terrible game.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: It's a winless Dolphins.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I know, and the Jets suck and the Dolphins suck.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: So what are you doing?
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: So we've got to show some love to all your
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: audience over there in New York. And a shout-out to
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: your brother listening.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: The people in New York don't even watch the Jets.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: They don't want to watch the Jets. They have other
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: things to do.
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: Well, minus four and a half, the Jets are going
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: to destroy, and you're going to thank me later, guys.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: And what about you, Leprechaun?
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: Actually, for this one, I'm going to pick Miami. I
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: think they're going to get their first win.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. They better beat the Dolphins. They don't beat
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the Jets one of these two games. They're not going
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: to beat anybody. They got to win one of the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: games against the Jets because otherwise, forget about it. It's over.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: All right, hurry up. Last one. I got Cooper. Yes,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: we got the.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: Best for last. Kansas City Chiefs at the Seattle Seahawks.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: I'm liking the Chiefs plus two and a half. Why not?
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: You know Patrick Mahomes, undefeated.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: All right, all right. You like the Chiefs. You ruined
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: that pick.
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: I'm actually picking the Chiefs.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: All right. That means that pick's going to be a
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: loser for me. That means Seattle wins.
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: The Miami Jets game is the only one.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Seattle wins by ten points.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: There you go. Two gentlemen right there. Mike the Leprechaun.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and his sidekick, Poppy, will be coming to a city
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: near you, unless that's not the case. Well, let's get
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a couple more quick ones in. Let's say hello to
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Lucky Tony. He's happy. He's in a good mood. He's
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a big Bears fan. Lucky Tony in the Bay Area. Hello,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Lucky Tony. Welcome. Hey, Ben.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: What did the Tijuana hooker say?
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: Thanks, Ben.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Scotty on the Pike is next. Hello, Scotty. Welcome.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ben.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Hi, Scotty. Hello.
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: So the Patriots offense, at least in the first quarter,
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: was uglier than Lorena's pet cockroach. It's like a four-barrel
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: carburetor that needs to warm up for 20 minutes before
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: they got anything done. And in the fourth quarter... Give
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: up two third and longs. One was a third and 11.
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: And he had an encroachment penalty that gives the Bears
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: a first down.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: It was disgusting.
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: The Ben Malachow was wicked pisser, by the way.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Say that again. I think I talked over you. Say
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: that again. Say that last part again.
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: The Ben Malachow was wicked pisser.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: There you go. See, that's a drop right there.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: The Ben Malachow is wicked pisser.
• 27:27

• 28:23
  Speaker 9: Yes, four times it is. Looking for five next year.
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: Coop's Coupon Entertainment starts right now. And here is the
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: Broncos fan himself, Justin Cooper, at our Broncos fan on X.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: All yours.
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: It's early, I think.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that part was. Yeah, I don't know.
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: I know what the amazing early looks like.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Shut up. Just stop talking.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Great toss as always, Marcel.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Professional broadcaster, Coop.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: So we are going to start in the theaters like
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: we always do here on Coop Scoop Entertainment. And there's
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: actually three movies that come out this weekend, all three
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: of which I am interested in. The first one and
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go in order from least interested to
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: most interested. So the first one is called Clayface. Now,
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: this is, I believe, a DC comic thing. Uh, indeed
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: it is, which, you know, as I've said before, I'm,
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: you know, I've kind of gotten a little tired of
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: the comic stuff, but this one is being billed as
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: a horror movie. So it's a little bit different from
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: your other comic book movies. And, basically it unravels one
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: man's horrifying descent from rising Hollywood star to revenge filled
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: monster in a story that explores the loss of one's
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: identity and humanity and it's got pretty good reviews so
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: far from both critics and audiences alike so that is
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: in theaters right now another movie in theater this one
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: is called Wicker This one is a critic's darling. I
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: don't see an audience score yet on it, but it is.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: A fisherman.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: A fisher woman lives on the fringes of a seaside village.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: She is unmarried, stinky and constantly teased. One day, sick
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: of her stuffy, narrow minded neighbors, she orders a wicker
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: husband for herself.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's nice.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Where's the wedding? Do they have a wedding?
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: They might get married. It seems like a weird love story.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: Olivia Colman stars in this one. Alexander Skarsgård and Peter
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Dinklage also co-star.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, the little fella.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know who that is.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: And last but not least is a new animated feature
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: called Wildwood. Now, this one has been a critical darling.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: It's got 100% certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes right now.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: No way it's that good. 98% from the audiences.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: It is a handcrafted epic fantasy that transports audiences into
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: a secret, dangerously alive world. A girl's desperate quest to
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: save her baby brother unfolds into a spectacular high-stakes adventure
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: through a forbidden forest full of enchanted creatures. The names
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: you might recognize for this one, Jacob Tremblay is a
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: main character in this one. He was the kid in
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: the movie Room. He got a critical acclaim for that
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: in a couple other movies. Carey Mulligan, Mahershala Ali, Angela Bassett,
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: and Awkwafina.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Awkwafina?
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Not the water.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Bottle. Is that her real name?
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is a stage name, I believe.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay. I was going to say. Where's the birth certificate?
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: She's the Asian rapper who sounds like Miley Cyrus.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I just looked it up. Her real name is Nora.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Okay. She must love Awkwafina.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: She spells it not like the water.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. People used to rip that water back in
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: It's not a good water. Yeah.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I was fine. I didn't love it,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: but I didn't think it was the worst. But people
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: hated it. People were like, oh, this is terrible.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: And last but not least, we're going to move over
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: to television.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: There's only one thing over.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: The next few days that I want to point out.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: It is a documentary, and it is called The One
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: About Matthew Perry. And so this is on Netflix and
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: it is a three-part docuseries that examines the life of
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: the late Friends star, Matthew Perry, through interviews with family
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: and friends. And, uh, That's it for Coop Scoop Entertainment,
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: but I do want to ask you, Ben, because we
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: missed this. I mean, I did Coop Scoop Entertainment last week,
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: but you were not here.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I was not. I was away.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: There was a documentary that I wanted to ask.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: If you watched. I see. I didn't watch much last weekend.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Have you gone?
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess you probably haven't been to the theaters.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: The documentary that everybody's raving about, You Can See Everything.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Have you heard about it?
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Uh, no, no. What is that?
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: They're talking about this as a potential best picture nominee.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: And then a documentary has never won best picture.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: No, that's not going to happen.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: It's about see everything. It's about Elizabeth Holmes. Do you,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: do you remember her? Oh yeah.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: She's nut job.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: The tech, the tech. Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Uh, I recommend him artist.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: She had the blood, the blood thing, right?
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Theranos or, or whatever. Yeah.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: It is, it is weird, Ben. I, uh, I think
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: you should check it out.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: What is it? Is it in the theaters?
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's in theaters.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, really? Yeah.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: It's three hours long, though, so I don't know if
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: you have it.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, I can't handle that. I'll be asleep. I'll be
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: asleep within 30 minutes.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: There's no way. Three hours. I'll watch it at home in, like,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: little bite-sized pieces or something like that when it gets
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: on one of the streaming services.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: You can do that.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: All right. And that's Coop School of Entertainment. Okay.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: That's cool. Thank you for that. Hey, the great fat hope.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: The great fat hope. We go to the NFL. And
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: according to those that have seen the practice footage, the
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers are getting back Josh Jacobs, who's almost
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: like getting back two players because apparently Josh has had
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: some legal problems there. And he worked his way out
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: of the legal problems. He's now being compared to Eddie Lacy.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Fat Eddie Lacy. Fat Eddie, back in the day, if
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: you remember with the Green Bay Packers, as he appears
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: to have gained a fair amount of weight, which is unfortunate,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: but I could imagine if you're in some legal trouble
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: and you're not allowed to play professional football, you're going
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: to eat a lot of cheese curds. And you're not
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: going to work out as much. And that appears to
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: be what has happened. So we'll see. The Packers have
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: the worst running game in the NFL. They're averaging less
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: than 60 yards as a team running the football. They
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: desperately need Josh Jacobs. And they're getting twice as much.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Twice the size of Josh Jacobs. Anyway, so we've got that.
• 35:08

  Speaker 7: Was it the Dodgers?
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Big Andy, you want to– oh, you're going to go Dodgers? No,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: not the Dodgers. He played for the Philadelphia Phillies. The

  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies.
