- 0:12Speaker 2: wacky NFL owner's story. That would be Carly Urs Gordon,
- 0:17Speaker 2: the Colts new owner, the daughter of Jim Rsay, who
- 0:21Speaker 2: is regularly, we are told on the sidelines, has a
- 0:24Speaker 2: headset on a call sheet in hand, looking like she's
- 0:26Speaker 2: about to call the play. She says it helps her
- 0:30Speaker 2: figure out if people she hired are full of bull crap?
- 0:34Speaker 2: Is this forward thinking by the new Colts owner or overthinking?
- 0:39Speaker 1: We'll talk about that.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Also, Sean McVay confirming Aaron Rodgers to the Rams was
- 0:43Speaker 2: a possibility.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Anything to take away from that one?
- 0:47Speaker 2: And Sequon Barkley was the Eagles one man merch machine.
- 0:51Speaker 2: He led all NFL players in merchandise sales. What does
- 0:55Speaker 2: that tell us? Will make sense of all of that?
- 0:58Speaker 2: As we dance the dance? Here it is our number four.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Have a wonderful, wonderful Thursday.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Here it is.

- 1:14Speaker 2: in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
- 1:19Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere as we unwind and
- 1:25Speaker 2: walk the chalk.
- 1:27Speaker 1: We walk the chalk.
- 1:29Speaker 2: That's right, absolutely coast to coast, border the order and
- 1:34Speaker 2: beyond on the mast and verbally powerful microphones of FSR
- 1:40Speaker 2: emmating live from the cad the vintage coin operated audio arcade.

- 2:27Speaker 1: Show be sortly. This hour is from Indie.
- 2:34Speaker 2: It is not not a follow up follow up to
- 2:37Speaker 2: the NBA Finals, as the Indiana Pacers get it done
- 2:42Speaker 2: again and the Pacers given a less than five percent
- 2:47Speaker 2: chance by the nerds of winning the series and they
- 2:50Speaker 2: haven't won to yet. However, two wins, two more wins,
- 2:56Speaker 2: and Indiana will be the Champions of Pro Basketball. What
- 3:01Speaker 2: a choke job that'll be by Oklahoma City.
- 3:05Speaker 1: If they don't get it done.
- 3:06Speaker 2: But this is about the football team and sideline ownership.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Sideline ownership.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Move over, Jerry Jones, move over, move over, move move over.
- 3:18Speaker 1: A very interesting quirk from the new owner of the Horseshoes.
- 3:23Speaker 1: So if you didn't.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Hear about this, or maybe you were busy watching some
- 3:27Speaker 2: other stuff and you.
- 3:29Speaker 1: You missed it.
- 3:30Speaker 2: As we understand it, carle Ersay Gordon, that's a mouthful
- 3:34Speaker 2: free names. Carle Ersa Gordon, the daughter of jim Irsay
- 3:42Speaker 2: and now the owner. She inherited the team, she and
- 3:45Speaker 2: her sisters. Now she's the new CEO of the Indianapolis Colts.
- 3:51Speaker 2: And I was reading about this earlier and it caught
- 3:53Speaker 2: my attention because it's unusual, it's unorthodox, and those are
- 3:57Speaker 2: always fun stories to talk about.
- 3:59Speaker 1: So it turns out she regularly in recent years has
- 4:01Speaker 1: been on the sidelines.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Wearing a coach's headset and she's had a call sheet,
- 4:08Speaker 2: the play sheet in her hand, and she's been monitoring
- 4:13Speaker 2: the coaching staff in Indianapolis. She was asked about this,
- 4:16Speaker 2: and she said in a recent interview, she said I
- 4:20Speaker 2: need to be able to say, is this person full
- 4:24Speaker 2: of bs, which I believe is bullshoy?
- 4:29Speaker 1: Quote continues Do they even know what they are talking about?
- 4:35Speaker 2: She went on to say, I would suggest it for
- 4:39Speaker 2: anyone else that has to pay head coaches in GM's
- 4:42Speaker 2: millions and millions of dollars.
- 4:44Speaker 1: It helps you make a less expensive mistake. All right.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Quote continues with a but wait, there's more situation.
- 4:53Speaker 1: She said.
- 4:54Speaker 2: It is such a complex organism a football.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Team, and how operates.
- 5:00Speaker 2: You could say that person ran the root wrong learning
- 5:05Speaker 2: Uh oh, someone tagged the wrong receiver and it wasn't
- 5:08Speaker 2: really the player's fault.
- 5:10Speaker 1: It was the person that called it. Et cetera, et cetera,
- 5:14Speaker 1: et cetera.
- 5:14Speaker 2: All right, so let us discuss question as we just
- 5:18Speaker 2: laid out here. Carly Ursa Gordon, the Colts new owner,
- 5:23Speaker 2: has a habit of going on the sidelines wearing the
- 5:27Speaker 2: coaches headset, having the call sheet, and I guess she's
- 5:32Speaker 2: gonna call the two minutes drill And she says it
- 5:35Speaker 2: helps her figure out if people she hired are full
- 5:38Speaker 2: of bull crap?
- 5:39Speaker 1: Is this forward thinking or is this overthinking?
- 5:44Speaker 3: Now?
- 5:44Speaker 1: Is it forward thinking or is it overthinking?
- 5:47Speaker 2: So my take on this, I've got DVD box set,
- 5:53Speaker 2: Charles Dickens and Loofa, and these things have never ever
- 6:01Speaker 2: been combined together, but they will be right now, and
- 6:04Speaker 2: we're gonna.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Put them together and have some babaganosh. We're gonna have the.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Babaganosh with a big pile of gabba ghoul and then
- 6:11Speaker 2: we'll have a pink glazed donut Homer Simpson style when
- 6:17Speaker 2: we're done with that. So, to lead off here after
- 6:20Speaker 2: a thorough malor show deliberation, these scales are leaning heavily
- 6:27Speaker 2: towards overthinking. And I would argue that every man, woman
- 6:31Speaker 2: and child knows that this is not just overthinking. This
- 6:36Speaker 2: is micro managing. Its next level micro managing. Does anyone
- 6:42Speaker 2: disagree with that? Like, what are we doing here?
- 6:45Speaker 1: Right?
- 6:45Speaker 2: This is the fastest way to drain talent is losing
- 6:51Speaker 2: trust in the talent. Anyone that's ever worked in a
- 6:56Speaker 2: company knows this. A great boss, a great leader, they
- 7:01Speaker 2: hire the right people, They put strong people in jobs,
- 7:06Speaker 2: and then they get the hell out of the way
- 7:08Speaker 2: and they let them do their thing, and you obviously
- 7:11Speaker 2: have to evaluate their performance.
- 7:14Speaker 1: You don't have to be on the sidelines wearing a
- 7:16Speaker 1: headset and have a call sheet while you're doing it.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Like standing on the sidelines with a headset and monitoring
- 7:24Speaker 2: what is going on is micro managing to.
- 7:27Speaker 1: The clown show level.
- 7:29Speaker 2: It's a DVD box set of my new video series
- 7:34Speaker 2: Owner's Gone Wild.
- 7:36Speaker 1: That's right, Owner's Gone Wild.
- 7:39Speaker 2: And their natural habitat Now nobody needs a boss in
- 7:45Speaker 2: this case, an owner second guessing the coach in real time.
- 7:50Speaker 1: You know what that is?
- 7:52Speaker 2: Disaster with a capital D, disaster waiting to happen. If
- 7:57Speaker 2: your head coach is bad, your head coach is terrible.
- 8:01Speaker 2: You should not need a headset to confirm the coach
- 8:05Speaker 2: doesn't know what they're doing. Use your own eyes, use
- 8:09Speaker 2: your own horse sets. The sideline shuffle, in my analysis,
- 8:14Speaker 2: is a waste of time, and I'll tell you why
- 8:17Speaker 2: it's a waste of time. It is a psychological phenomena.
- 8:22Speaker 2: The phenomena is known as observer effect. Look it up,
- 8:26Speaker 2: Look it up. Observer effect. People adjust their behavior. We
- 8:31Speaker 2: all do subconsciously, sometimes consciously, but often not even thinking
- 8:38Speaker 2: about it.
- 8:39Speaker 1: We adjust the way we act when we know that
- 8:42Speaker 1: we're being watched.
- 8:44Speaker 2: It's like you put up security cameras, not that you're
- 8:47Speaker 2: monitoring them, but just the camera having the camera, people
- 8:50Speaker 2: act differently. It happens everywhere, right, It's been proven study
- 8:55Speaker 2: after study employees, you change your demeanor when the boss
- 9:00Speaker 2: walks in. Right when the boss is around everyone, you
- 9:02Speaker 2: perk up a little bit, you put your phone down,
- 9:05Speaker 2: get a little more work done. Even when there's casual conversations.
- 9:10Speaker 2: It's been described as performative when the boss is there,
- 9:14Speaker 2: right when you sense there's an audience who's monitoring what
- 9:18Speaker 2: you're doing. And again, this is stuff that happens because
- 9:22Speaker 2: it ties into self awareness, social conditioning. They even claim
- 9:28Speaker 2: in some of the studies that we're done on this.
- 9:30Speaker 2: It's it's evolutionary survival instincts that you you adapt because
- 9:35Speaker 2: of that.
- 9:36Speaker 1: And and so anyway, the point is, if.
- 9:38Speaker 2: You're the colts owner and you're on the sidelines, the coach,
- 9:44Speaker 2: the head coach is gonna know before the game and
- 9:48Speaker 2: is gonna let everyone know, Hey, boys, the owner.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Is listening in they own so you might just I'll
- 9:56Speaker 1: let you know.
- 9:56Speaker 2: And they're gonna act if and they're not gonna gonna
- 9:59Speaker 2: curse as much made or they're gonna speak differently than
- 10:02Speaker 2: they normally would because they're being monitored.
- 10:04Speaker 1: It's the observer effect.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Now, furthermore to La laland La La Land, we go
- 10:12Speaker 2: where we have Sean McVay who said the thing you
- 10:17Speaker 2: can't say at the time, you can say it.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Did you see this? No? All right? So Sean McVay.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Has affirmed that the La Rams would have put the
- 10:30Speaker 2: full bull rush on airin Rogers had they ended up
- 10:37Speaker 2: losing Matthew Stafford.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Now you might remember one of the big stories of
- 10:40Speaker 1: the offseason.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Hear the Rams allowed Matthew Stafford to schmooze.
- 10:47Speaker 1: He was unhappy with his.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Contract, so the the Rams allowed Stafford to go to
- 10:52Speaker 2: Montana hang out with Tom Brady, and Brady tried to
- 10:57Speaker 2: convince him to come to thee to the Raiders, and
- 11:00Speaker 2: when Stafford met with Tom Brady said screw that, I
- 11:02Speaker 2: ain't going there. And there were other teams that were
- 11:05Speaker 2: all the Giants were involved and also the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- 11:09Speaker 2: They talked to Stafford and it turns out a trade
- 11:13Speaker 2: did not happen. Obviously agreed to a revised contract. So
- 11:16Speaker 2: Stafford is still.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Ramming it all day, ramming it all night.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Here's the question, though, Sean McVeigh confirming that Aaron Rodgers
- 11:26Speaker 2: to the RAMS was a legitimate possibility.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Is this anything I mean? Is there a takeaway from this?
- 11:37Speaker 2: Is there anything to take away from this that McVeigh
- 11:41Speaker 2: confirmed they.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Were on the prowl for Aaron Rodgers. So I am
- 11:46Speaker 1: nodding my head yes.
- 11:49Speaker 2: And this confirms if you go back and listen to
- 11:52Speaker 2: those old monologues that we did, this confirms our boots
- 11:56Speaker 2: on the ground are spot on. They say in the
- 11:59Speaker 2: tabloid world the Naked City never sleeps.
- 12:03Speaker 1: And we were informed.
- 12:04Speaker 2: By a source that Rogers actually wanted to play for
- 12:09Speaker 2: the Rams.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Logistically it would have been perfect.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Now at the time we didn't know he had gotten married,
- 12:16Speaker 2: but it makes even more sense. Right it lives in Malibu.
- 12:19Speaker 2: I assume he's living with his wife. Normally you're married,
- 12:22Speaker 2: you live with your wife. And so Rogers wanted the
- 12:27Speaker 2: Rams because logistically it would have worked and all that stuff.
- 12:30Speaker 2: And he let them know, and they let him know
- 12:34Speaker 2: there was mutual interest and through back channels and all
- 12:37Speaker 2: that stuff, and had Stafford skedaddled next man up. So
- 12:44Speaker 2: the other takeaway this is also a Charles Dickens classic,
- 12:50Speaker 2: The Ghost of Christmas, Yet to come because Sean McVeigh.
- 12:54Speaker 2: You might say, well, this is benign. It didn't happen,
- 12:56Speaker 2: So who cares? I disagree? Because McVeigh confirmed that when
- 13:03Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford's time is done as the Rams quarterback, they're
- 13:07Speaker 2: going to play quarterback bingo. They're going to have a
- 13:11Speaker 2: revolving door of veteran stopgap quarterbacks with the Rams. That
- 13:16Speaker 2: is the way they're going to play it. And they
- 13:18Speaker 2: don't have anyone who's in the pipeline that they think
- 13:22Speaker 2: is going to be the next big thing, So that
- 13:24Speaker 2: is the way they're going to approach this.
- 13:26Speaker 1: So that is interesting. They're like, all right, well, yep,
- 13:29Speaker 1: next year will likely not be Aaron Rodgers. Who's it
- 13:32Speaker 1: going to be Kirk Cousin, someone.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Like that, some reject Jameis Winston who's bounced around.
- 13:40Speaker 1: All right?
- 13:40Speaker 2: Now, last thing, So Sequon Barkley was the Eagles one
- 13:46Speaker 2: man wrecking ball on the field, and he was the merchman.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Off the field.
- 13:52Speaker 2: He led all NFL, all NFL players in merchandise sales.
- 14:01Speaker 1: So what does that tell us?
- 14:02Speaker 2: What does that tell So it tells us that that
- 14:04Speaker 2: Barkley wasn't just tearing up defensive players in the NFC East.
- 14:10Speaker 2: He was tearing up fans wallets. We're talking all kinds
- 14:14Speaker 2: of apparel, the jerseys, the bobbleheads, the key chains, the cooozies,
- 14:20Speaker 2: you name it, and this guy sold it. He was
- 14:25Speaker 2: number one in the entire and number now Sequan not
- 14:31Speaker 2: just carrying the rock. I guess if you're the people
- 14:34Speaker 2: over at Fanatics, he's he's carrying your first quarter earnings
- 14:39Speaker 2: report as well. The other thing here, what a shot
- 14:43Speaker 2: the Jalen Hurts. How embarrassing is that that you're the quarterback.
- 14:47Speaker 2: It's a quarterback league. You're Jalen Hurts, and you are
- 14:51Speaker 2: not the center of the universe. Like you gotta be
- 14:55Speaker 2: ticked off, right, new guy shows up, coming down nine
- 14:59Speaker 2: to ninety five. You guys shows up one year, he's
- 15:04Speaker 2: out selling you. That's your city. You're jialing Hurts. Now,
- 15:09Speaker 2: he's not gonna publicly admit that. However, it's humiliating. It's
- 15:13Speaker 2: gotta be humiliating, gotta be losing the popularity contest all
- 15:18Speaker 2: right now. The fan base foaming at the mouth in
- 15:22Speaker 2: the Delaware Valley Eagle fans, they're voting not with their mouth,
- 15:29Speaker 2: not with anything other than their credit cards Berkley, the
- 15:33Speaker 2: first running back since Zeke Elliott way back in twenty seventeen.
- 15:38Speaker 1: I was barely alive back then. The top NFL merch rankings,
- 15:44Speaker 1: so he's right there at the top.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Now, this is a reminder that the Philly fan is
- 15:51Speaker 2: a different fan, complete lunatics.
- 15:54Speaker 1: And I am convinced if you would.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Be able to slap the Eagle logo on a midnight
- 16:00Speaker 2: green loufah and put Barkley's number on there and tell
- 16:06Speaker 2: some story about how every time Barkley takes a shower
- 16:09Speaker 2: that's his go to lufah and charge fifty bucks for it,
- 16:14Speaker 2: you'd sell out, right, You'd sell out. And people just
- 16:18Speaker 2: eating it up like it's a buffet of hype and
- 16:20Speaker 2: delusion and overpriced polyester and all that stuff. People love it,
- 16:25Speaker 2: love it, love it, love it, cannot get enough of it.
- 16:29Speaker 2: It is the Ben Malor Show. As we are navigating
- 16:34Speaker 2: the Red Eye flight, another hour to go here on
- 16:37Speaker 2: the Red Eye and we'll land the plane and move

- 16:56Speaker 2: press your luck, you can do that right now eight
- 17:00Speaker 2: seven seven, nine nine six. That probably not gonna work.

- 19:14Speaker 2: and some dumb listeners think he's smart.
- 19:16Speaker 1: There you go.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Scott talks about emailing politicians getting replies.
- 19:21Speaker 1: He says, you know and.
- 19:22Speaker 2: I know politicians are not replying. It is the office
- 19:26Speaker 2: or the secretary or the auto reply. He says, David,
- 19:31Speaker 2: I get mailed from President Trump, and I know it's
- 19:33Speaker 2: not from President Trump.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Who has no idea who I am? No, yes, yes.
- 19:38Speaker 1: The only way you can.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Get a politician to actually write to you or to
- 19:43Speaker 2: call you is to cut a giant cartoon sized check
- 19:48Speaker 2: and then, and it's got to be a lot of
- 19:51Speaker 2: zeros at the end of that, then they'll call.
- 19:53Speaker 1: They'll actually contact you.
- 19:54Speaker 2: Other than that you're getting some intern that just got
- 19:57Speaker 2: out of some Ivy League school.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Who else?
- 20:01Speaker 2: Jonathan in Delaware writes, and he says, great to hear
- 20:03Speaker 2: blind Emmett was very happy his call got through.
- 20:06Speaker 1: I love hearing him. One of my favorite.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Callers, says really smart and knows how to push your buttons.
- 20:13Speaker 1: He does not know how to push my buttons. How
- 20:16Speaker 1: dare you? How dare you? He says?
- 20:20Speaker 2: I'm obviously not blind, but I share this thing in
- 20:22Speaker 2: com with Scott and Emmett. Most likely the overwhelming amount
- 20:25Speaker 2: of blind people have N twenty four He says, effectively
- 20:30Speaker 2: a body issue where natural body clocks are either longer
- 20:33Speaker 2: or shorter than twenty four hours a day. His mind
- 20:37Speaker 2: is twenty six hours.
- 20:39Speaker 1: There you go. That must be my thing too.
- 20:41Speaker 2: Jonathan I have thinking about him, but it's a little
- 20:44Speaker 2: messed up. If only get a few hours of sleep
- 20:46Speaker 2: and all that stuff. Yeah, there you go, all right.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Anyway, who do we have? You'll see, let's go, Well,
- 20:53Speaker 1: we do have, but one line is working, so we'll
- 20:55Speaker 1: go to the phones. Zach is in Illinois. He is
- 20:58Speaker 1: a first time worst time claud what's going on.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Zachh not a lot. Ben. I appreciate being on the show.
- 21:08Speaker 3: I know I've heard you say that people set the
- 21:10Speaker 3: bar low, but it's an honor to be here.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Honored.
- 21:13Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Zach. I appreciate that. It's nice to
- 21:15Speaker 2: hear a new voice. The same seven people call me
- 21:18Speaker 2: every day. I can't get rid of them. They call
- 21:20Speaker 2: me every day.
- 21:21Speaker 3: That's actually part of the reason that I call it.
- 21:23Speaker 3: I had no anticipation of getting through. I'm somewhat of
- 21:26Speaker 3: an introvert myself, but when you said that there was
- 21:29Speaker 3: no chance that I would get through on the lines,
- 21:32Speaker 3: I thought, you know, what, what the hell, I'm gonna
- 21:34Speaker 3: call see if I can get through and talk to
- 21:36Speaker 3: Ben Mahler.
- 21:36Speaker 1: And here we are.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Well, you know, fellow introverts talking. Because I'm also an introvert,
- 21:42Speaker 2: and so we have that in common. And so that's
- 21:44Speaker 2: Murphy's law, right, you know, anything that can go.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Wrong will go wrong.
- 21:48Speaker 2: An introvert calling a radio show because they don't actually
- 21:51Speaker 2: want to get on the air. And then they're the
- 21:53Speaker 2: one that when you won the call lottery and your
- 21:56Speaker 2: call got through with one line working and here we
- 22:00Speaker 2: are amazing.
- 22:02Speaker 3: Yeah, say that they were lucky, and then I felt like, man,
- 22:09Speaker 3: I am lucky, but as an introvert, am I I'm
- 22:11Speaker 3: not either? But here we are.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd probably rather have like the lottery, you know,
- 22:16Speaker 2: when the lottery or something like.
- 22:17Speaker 3: That, that would be I'm also a fellow Rams fan though,
- 22:20Speaker 3: and if I had anything to ask you, it would
- 22:22Speaker 3: have been about the Rams. But you went on the
- 22:24Speaker 3: Sean Viday or Van I'm.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Sorry, the rant, Yeah, the Rana ram it all day.
- 22:29Speaker 2: We were literally rammed.
- 22:30Speaker 1: You can ram it all day, ram it all night,
- 22:32Speaker 1: and ram it in the morning.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought that was McVeigh said that the Rams
- 22:36Speaker 2: were interested in Aaron Rodgers if Stafford had bolted and
- 22:41Speaker 2: a night that is that's a bit of a giveaway, right,
- 22:46Speaker 2: It's a dead giveaway that that's the Rams plan.
- 22:49Speaker 1: They don't have a young quarterback.
- 22:50Speaker 2: They haven't drafted anyone who's any good, or they don't
- 22:53Speaker 2: really have anyone in the pipeline. There's some guys they've drafted,
- 22:56Speaker 2: but they're just you know, they sucked. So that's the
- 22:59Speaker 2: plumb interesting. Yeah, all right, Well what are you doing?
- 23:03Speaker 2: What part of Illinois are you in?
- 23:05Speaker 3: Uh, Galesburgen? What about three hours south of Chicago, about
- 23:10Speaker 3: three hours north of Saint Louis, which is why I
- 23:12Speaker 3: am originally a Rams fan.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Oh okay, so you're like halfway between.
- 23:17Speaker 2: So you go to a Cardinal game or a Cub
- 23:19Speaker 2: game or whatever you're baseball fan or hot right right,
- 23:23Speaker 2: I got.
- 23:23Speaker 1: You, I got you. Is that a farming town, Yes.
- 23:28Speaker 3: Yes, definitely a farming town. It's also a railroad of
- 23:30Speaker 3: the town. Once upon a time we had the biggest
- 23:32Speaker 3: railroad city and in the United States.
- 23:36Speaker 2: See, that's you know what that is. That's a fun fact.
- 23:39Speaker 2: You just gave a fun fact, a.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Fun fact, fun fact. Well it's not my.
- 23:44Speaker 2: Fun that's Zach and Illinois fun fact. Well, Zach, thank
- 23:47Speaker 2: you for calling in. I know, as an introvert it
- 23:49Speaker 2: sucks to do this, but I appreciate it.
- 23:51Speaker 1: And you can call again whenever you want.
- 23:53Speaker 3: Okay, heck, yeah, maybe next time I could do the oath.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Oh but absolutely, we'll do the next I'll make a deal.
- 23:59Speaker 2: You call me again, We'll do the oath.
- 24:01Speaker 3: Okay, but I can't do it on a newbie though,
- 24:04Speaker 3: right because now I'm not a newbie.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Well, no, you're you can call as a newbie because
- 24:09Speaker 2: we know, we don't know, we don't know you that
- 24:12Speaker 2: well yet, so you're still kind of you're still kind
- 24:15Speaker 2: of a newby, know, you know, you have to get
- 24:17Speaker 2: a certain number at bats In before you're you're no
- 24:20Speaker 2: longer eligible for Rookie of the Year.
- 24:22Speaker 1: So I gotta go. Thank you.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Zach Zach introvert Zach from a small railroad town in Illinois,
- 24:33Speaker 2: alf writes in The Alien Opiners sayspen is it possible
- 24:36Speaker 2: that the majority of the phone lines in the studio
- 24:38Speaker 2: have decided.
- 24:39Speaker 1: To peacefully protest? Yes, that must be what it is.
- 24:44Speaker 2: They've decided to take the night off their protesting, and
- 24:47Speaker 2: hopefully they'll stop protesting soon so we can actually get
- 24:50Speaker 2: back and do the show. So, Mike the Leprechaun, he
- 24:56Speaker 2: writes in he says, a great monologue about to roasting.
- 25:01Speaker 2: I believe Kevin Hart roasted Bill Belichick, says the Eleprechaun.
- 25:07Speaker 2: That would be incorrect. That would be incorrect. It turns out,
- 25:13Speaker 2: now I did not watch this. I saw a clip
- 25:14Speaker 2: of it, so don't I was not spending my time
- 25:17Speaker 2: watching this. But this week Kevin Hart was the MC
- 25:23Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty five BET Awards.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Yeah, and so he did some stand up there.
- 25:30Speaker 2: He took the stage and as always Kevin Heart, very
- 25:33Speaker 2: funny man, and he went on and on and started
- 25:37Speaker 2: railing on this person and that person.
- 25:39Speaker 1: But during his monologue as host of.
- 25:41Speaker 2: The BET Awards, or some clips that I saw he took, Now, this.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Is not a full jab. It's more of a light jab.
- 25:50Speaker 2: At Bill's wide receiver, former Bill's wide receiver in current
- 25:53Speaker 2: New England Patriot Stefan Diggs and Cardi b right there together.
- 26:01Speaker 2: And his punchline at the BET Awards referenced a yacht
- 26:07Speaker 2: video that we've talked a lot about here that's gone viral.
- 26:11Speaker 2: And midway through the opening monologue, Kevin Hart warned attendees
- 26:16Speaker 2: to steer clear of those wild after parties, because you
- 26:19Speaker 2: know it gets wild after the BET Awards. To steer
- 26:21Speaker 2: clear of those wild after parties, and he slipped in
- 26:26Speaker 2: a comment about Diggs and the Miami yacht last month.
- 26:31Speaker 2: He said, Kevin Hart, no yachts, no boats, CARDI B
- 26:35Speaker 2: no pink stuff. What the f none of that stuff.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Everybody got to get hit tonight.
- 26:42Speaker 1: There you go. He went on and on, But there
- 26:44Speaker 1: you go. Is it a pink bag of drugs or
- 26:48Speaker 1: something like that? I know, I'm sure it was not drugs.
- 26:51Speaker 1: It was candy, candy, candy candy.
- 26:55Speaker 5: I pretty sure I know exactly what it was.
- 26:57Speaker 3: Ben.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Yeah, there's people in myami of said it's like Miami's
- 27:01Speaker 2: got its own like cocaine thing.
- 27:04Speaker 5: Or well, so the the hot new drug right now,
- 27:07Speaker 5: and I don't know how new it is, but it's
- 27:09Speaker 5: the it's the popular thing. It's called tuc tuc.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Yes, I've never heard of that, and it is.
- 27:16Speaker 5: It is supposedly it's supposed to be a combination of cocaine, ketamine,
- 27:22Speaker 5: and uh MDMA.
- 27:25Speaker 1: And so who came up with that? From what I.
- 27:29Speaker 5: Understand, it was basically so there is I did some
- 27:35Speaker 5: research on this. There was initially a drug that was
- 27:38Speaker 5: like you know, manufactured like as a pharmaceutical called two CB,
- 27:43Speaker 5: and then it gave you, uh, you know, some desired effects,
- 27:47Speaker 5: I guess, and then they tried to recreate that effects
- 27:50Speaker 5: by just combining, like after you know, this manufactured pharmaceutical
- 27:54Speaker 5: was no longer available, they tried to recreate the effects
- 27:58Speaker 5: by just mixing different drugs together. But a lot of
- 28:01Speaker 5: the times it's not even that. It's like whatever the
- 28:03Speaker 5: cartel like has left over and just sweeps up and
- 28:06Speaker 5: then they diet pink and call it tusy. So yeah,
- 28:10Speaker 5: it's dangerous.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Some hot drug talk for you right there.
- 28:15Speaker 2: So I've gotten in the last five minutes, I've gotten
- 28:17Speaker 2: seventeen emails from Blind Scott's. He says he has contacted
- 28:22Speaker 2: the LAPD.
- 28:24Speaker 5: He told me the same.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Yeah, so so Blind Scott said, I've called the LAPD
- 28:30Speaker 2: because your phone lines are down. They said it might
- 28:34Speaker 2: be a communications problem. Yeah, do you imagine the person
- 28:41Speaker 2: at LAPD. Yeah, what's your emergency. Well, my name is Scott.
- 28:46Speaker 2: I live in Boston and I'm listening to a radio
- 28:49Speaker 2: show and their phone lines aren't working and I'm addicted
- 28:52Speaker 2: to calling the radio show. So can you take care
- 28:55Speaker 2: of I mean, my god, holy crap. That is that
- 29:00Speaker 2: is outstanding. He also is demanding that I mentioned Fred
- 29:03Speaker 2: Toucher back from vacation today, Scott sent several emails saying
- 29:08Speaker 2: that I must I must mention that the host of
- 29:11Speaker 2: the morning show on our affiliate in Boston, the Sports Hub,
- 29:15Speaker 2: is going to be back. So I've now, you don't
- 29:17Speaker 2: need to send me another one of those emails. I'm good,
- 29:21Speaker 2: I'm good.
- 29:22Speaker 1: But he is all over the place.
- 29:24Speaker 2: I mean, he's like, oh, he's telling me the called
- 29:27Speaker 2: the lapd the Toucher thing. He said, the boys over
- 29:31Speaker 2: there at NBC Boston are in their studio. They got
- 29:34Speaker 2: the show on, he claims. He says, the one of
- 29:37Speaker 2: the it guys there is listening. So okay, okay, I.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Don't know how much of that is true. I have
- 29:44Speaker 1: no idea. Some of it might be true, a lot
- 29:46Speaker 1: of it might be bull crap. So so there you go.
- 29:50Speaker 1: So we've made a decision because normally what we do
- 29:54Speaker 1: is we have a panel of judges and we do
- 29:58Speaker 1: factor fishing.
- 29:59Speaker 2: But the factor f thing is not We can't have
- 30:03Speaker 2: a panel of judges because the phones aren't working, which
- 30:06Speaker 2: is fine.
- 30:07Speaker 1: I got other things to talk about.
- 30:08Speaker 2: So I thought we do rapid fire questions. Now for
- 30:12Speaker 2: that to happen, you have to send in questions rapid
- 30:17Speaker 2: fire on X at ben Mouth, so it's kind of
- 30:20Speaker 2: like a bonus ask Ben. We'll see how this goes.
- 30:24Speaker 2: I'm not optimistic this will go well. I am not
- 30:28Speaker 2: thinking this will be.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Very very nice.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Before you can send those in right now, we just
- 30:33Speaker 2: send me questions. We'll read a bunch of them, and
- 30:36Speaker 2: that's how we'll do it. Anything your career, and those
- 30:38Speaker 2: can be sporty questions if you want. I did get
- 30:41Speaker 2: an email. I gotta search around blind Scott because he
- 30:45Speaker 2: sends me that is called the lapd anyway, So Kevin,
- 30:51Speaker 2: I believe his name is Kevin ord A K. I
- 30:53Speaker 2: think it's Kevin who lives in the Dallas area who
- 30:56Speaker 2: listened to the show. He's upset that we have not
- 30:59Speaker 2: mentioned the Cowboy much in recent days now a, I
- 31:04Speaker 2: don't think that's true. I believe we have talked about
- 31:06Speaker 2: the Cowboys.
- 31:06Speaker 3: Now.
- 31:07Speaker 1: I can't.
- 31:08Speaker 2: I can't every day talk about the Cowboys, Kevin, because.
- 31:13Speaker 1: I want to jump off the curb here and go
- 31:16Speaker 1: down in the street. So I can't do that.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Like every day, there's something right, and you just have
- 31:21Speaker 2: to pick your spots because it's all manufactured by Jerry Jones.
- 31:27Speaker 2: For example, today's Cowboy drama is the brother of Micah Parsons,
- 31:34Speaker 2: Terrence Parsons Junior, who complained about the Cowboy tight end position.
- 31:42Speaker 1: So that's the like, who the f cares am?
- 31:46Speaker 2: I supposed to be worried because the brother of Micah
- 31:49Speaker 2: Parsons publicly questioned Jake Ferguson and the Cowboy offense, Like
- 31:54Speaker 2: he's just a fan whose brother happened to be a
- 31:58Speaker 2: star for the Cowboy. Who gives a crap? Seriously, But
- 32:04Speaker 2: every that's like, every data is something like that. Every
- 32:08Speaker 2: single day is one of those stories. Anyway, Speaking of
- 32:13Speaker 2: those type of stories, the Washington Commanders are getting killed
- 32:17Speaker 2: because Deebo Samuel looks like he has not missed a
- 32:21Speaker 2: cheat day, a lot of cheat day activity.
- 32:24Speaker 1: There's some video that have been going around.
- 32:27Speaker 2: The video of Deebo Samuel during Mini camp and it
- 32:31Speaker 2: appears that he's added some extra muscle to play.
- 32:35Speaker 1: Right guard for the Washington Commanders.
- 32:38Speaker 2: The video shows what appears to be an out of
- 32:41Speaker 2: shape Deebo Samuel very slow they like he's doing slow
- 32:46Speaker 2: motion in a drill.
- 32:49Speaker 1: And this thing has.
- 32:50Speaker 2: Gone all over the place this week, people questioning the
- 32:53Speaker 2: conditioning the dedication of Deebo Samuel.
- 32:57Speaker 1: Well tight end.
- 32:58Speaker 2: George Kittle no longer no longer a teammate, has publicly
- 33:03Speaker 2: come to his defense, calling the scrutiny on social media unwarranted,
- 33:11Speaker 2: the viral video and George Kittle calling it overblown.
- 33:17Speaker 1: This thing's been seen millions and millions.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Of times, well not by me, a little dramatic, but
- 33:22Speaker 2: at least a million times. He addressed the issue, George Kittle,
- 33:27Speaker 2: and was singing the praises of Deebo Samuel, who really.
- 33:32Speaker 1: Is a one hit wonder. I remember him destroying the
- 33:37Speaker 1: team that I like, the Rams.
- 33:39Speaker 2: But if you look at the couriers, like a year
- 33:41Speaker 2: and a half where Deebo Samuel was really really good, and.
- 33:46Speaker 1: Outside of that it's been okay. He's been okay with not.
- 33:51Speaker 2: Not great, not great by any means. Anyway, it is
- 33:55Speaker 2: the Ban Maler Show. So again, just send in random questions. Well,
- 33:58Speaker 2: we normally have factor fiction, but the phones are all
- 34:02Speaker 2: fed up, and so why bother even going through that nonsense.

- 36:52Speaker 2: you've never been.
- 36:53Speaker 5: I've been to a couple of raves, Ben, but I

- 36:58Speaker 2: Okay, understand, big problem. Uh see what else do we have?
- 37:03Speaker 2: I can't some of these are not worthy of being
- 37:08Speaker 2: in there.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Far out.
- 37:09Speaker 2: Dave says, donut holes or just the glazed donut?
- 37:13Speaker 1: All of the above, all of the above.
- 37:15Speaker 5: Well, yes, obviously that is the correct answer. But I
- 37:19Speaker 5: would I like donut holes over just because because you
- 37:23Speaker 5: feel less guilty, like you can eat a bunch of them.
- 37:28Speaker 1: Well you there's still got a lot of cariters. Of course.
- 37:31Speaker 2: I don't worry when I mean donuts. I'm not worried
- 37:33Speaker 2: about cowories. What are the what's that donut chain that's
- 37:36Speaker 2: all over the place? They get the glazed donut they're known.

- 37:40Speaker 2: Yeah, back in the day, somebody brought I was doing
- 37:44Speaker 2: like local race.
- 37:44Speaker 1: Somebody brought it.
- 37:45Speaker 2: They were new to LA, so they brought like a
- 37:47Speaker 2: couple of boxes of those done, and before I knew it,
- 37:50Speaker 2: I'd eat like seven of them, and I didn't even realize, Like, yeah,
- 37:53Speaker 2: they were so light, Yeah.
- 37:54Speaker 5: Those are really light, And yeah, I remember when they
- 37:57Speaker 5: when they first came to La, it was like the
- 38:00Speaker 5: drive through lines were like four hours long.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Yes, yes, they were ridiculous. And now they're everywhere and
- 38:06Speaker 2: I don't see anyone lining up to buy them. You know,
