• 0:06
  Speaker 1: for you. It's a thriller by Godzilla. And here in
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: hour number two, how does New Orleans come out that
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: flat in the Monday night game on this particular night,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: big night, with the Dome anniversary celebration and a no-show
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: as Atlanta thumped the New Orleans football team? Also, are
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the Falcons suddenly... A legitimate NFC contender. Back-to-back island games
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: where they won back-to-back. Also, would Cardinals wide receiver Marvin
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Harrison Jr. going to Indianapolis be the NFL's best feel-good story?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Or another example of sports becoming obsessed with nostalgia. We'll
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: talk about that as well. All of it's coming your
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: way right now in a jam-packed hour number two. All
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: dressed up, ready to celebrate, and then you had to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: play the game.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh! Welcome in the beginning of another night and another
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: hour of the Ben Maller Show, Hour 2, as we
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: hang out here together.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. We stopped by.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Here we are.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: We're stopping by right now, and we awaken... The census.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Coast to coast, border to border, and beyond, on the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: vast and excessively powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the way, step right up to the Mallard Midway, guaranteed
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: human from the world-famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, where the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: one and only Strip Club John... In Cleveland, and Skip DeZip,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the former Roastmaster General, back when he was a more
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: active member of the Mallard militia, Skip DeZip. He said, hey, Mallard,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: can you tell me about the bull? I said, yes,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: for you, Skip DeZip, absolutely. We will fill you in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: on the bull. And we'll give you the inside skinny
• 2:14

• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I think it was Shane in Des Moines, possibly Jay Scoop, who's...
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: gone back to school, or maybe it was Milkman Mike
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: in Colorado, who requested some King conversation. Not the Sacramento
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Kings and not the LA Kings. That would be... DraftKings,

• 3:17
  Speaker 1: are back at it here. All is going well. We
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: had baseball to begin the festivities.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: We move over to our old friend, the National Football League.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: There was just one game left.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: An Ivan game! I like football.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: We love it. What is that, Anthony? What's that? I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: like football.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: You do?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to talk football. Calm down. See, that's
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the kind of drop we need more of. I love that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: We can have so much fun with that. Anthony, what
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: should we talk about?
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I like football.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll talk about football, and why not? So our
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: lead this hour is from the bayou where somewhere Ben
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Jamin is jamming down some jambalaya, and he went to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: that pig roast in the morning, and then in the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: nighttime hours, the hometown team, well, they were roasted like
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a pig. Yes, NFC South, slobber knocker, slobber knocker on
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the shores of the mighty Mississippi River. You had the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Fox refugees, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Lame duck Troy
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Aikman right there on ABC. So I don't know if
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you watched the game or not. Perhaps not. But John
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Robinson doing it again. Getting her done. 145 yards and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: not one but two touchdowns. And he started the festivities,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the lid lifter, a 59-yard touchdown run. Rumbling and stumbling.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: He was not tackled by the turf monster. And that
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was on Atlanta's third play from scrimmage. The Falcons get
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: it done. They give the Saints an absolute thumping in
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the dome. And it was supposed to be a night
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of celebration. This is a body blow, body blow to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: those of you that think all of this is fixed.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It's all scripted. If it was scripted, the Saints would
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: have won the game. This was not part of the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: happy-go-lucky script. Nonetheless, that's what happened. So this was supposed
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to be a night of celebration to commemorate the 20th
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: anniversary of the Superdome reopening, which is wild. It's been
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: 20 years since Hurricane Katrina knocked out the dome and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: put New Orleans underwater all those years ago. And so
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: they had a big celebration. The honoring of Mr. Gleason
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: was there. And Drew Brees and all these old Saints
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: legends from years gone by were in the house. The
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: better story is in the losing locker room. So that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: would be the home team. The team from Louisiana. So
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. How
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: does New Orleans come out that flat on this particular night?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: It's one thing to... Lose late and don't play well
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: down the stretch. They got their doors blown off, the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: hometown team there, with the Dome anniversary celebration. How does
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: that happen? So I've got airport carpeting, puffy, and cherry red.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: And we will combine all of these things together, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: we are going. to have a grand old hootenanny is
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: what we're going to do. So number one!
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: One, one, one, one, one, one, one, one!
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Number one! I said number one!
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: Number one!
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: All right, so Coach Kellen Moore, he had an extra day. Now, normally,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: if you look at the trends, when you have an
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: extra day of preparation, you're in good shape. You're in
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: good shape. The team that has a rest advantage typically
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: does very well. So Kellen Moore's team had an extra
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: day to prepare, and apparently they used it to update
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: The Express Pros profile. He was updating his resume there.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: An extra day and played on Monday. Didn't play on
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Sunday and all that. So everybody in Louisiana, every man, woman,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and child who pays attention to football knew. that Atlanta
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: was going to come out and run the ball early
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and run the ball often. Even if your only experience
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: with football is playing video games, you could easily have
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: deciphered that that is what the Falcons were going to do.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Apparently everyone knew that except the defense for the Saints.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: So you cannot blame the football gods. You can't blame
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the football gods on this one when the other team
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: is gashing you for over 200 yards rushing. I think
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the final total was 205 yards of rushing offense. That
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: is football Darwinism for the New Orleans Saints there. They
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: spent all week hyping up the Dome Coming. Oh, what
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a cute little marketing term. Wee! Dome Marketing. The Dome Coming.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And then they played with the emotional intensity of airport carpeting.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And they were flat. How flat were they? They were
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: flatter than a day-old Dr.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Pepper.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Actually, check that. They were not flatter than a day-old Dr. Pepper.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: They were Dr. Pepper that was left open in the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: garage since August. That would be August of 2023. That's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: how flat they were. And we've long believed the mantra of,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that you don't want to play bad teams early in
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the year because they don't realize they're bad. Like the Raiders.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: The Raiders are a bad team. They don't realize they're bad.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And they beat some other bad teams, and so they
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: feel good about themselves. And it's not legit. And people
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: get hornswoggled by teams like the Raiders. New Orleans is
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: a bad team. And they played the Raiders already, lost
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to the Raiders. New Orleans is your classic bad team.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: They did upset the Baltimore Ravens, which is another demerit
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson's And all that. But good teams are
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: able to disguise their weaknesses. Bad teams, well, let's just
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: say the team from New Orleans, they put their weaknesses
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: on display in 4K. And they don't know early in
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the year they're bad. They think, well, things could be different.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: We could be good. At 1-3, and that is the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: record of the hometown team there in New Orleans, the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Saints have reached essentially the quarter-pole mark of If you will,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, about four games, that's where you see
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: where you are, do a check and say, okay, where
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: are we at? So you're four games in, and this
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: is about the time on the calendar where the bad
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: teams start looking in the mirror and they realize, wait
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a minute, that's me. I'm bad. Bad to the bone.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: We suck. And it's like, oh, no, that's actually us.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: We're that. Oh, no, we're screwed. They don't have depth.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Bad teams don't have a lot of depth. The backups
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: aren't very good. The coaching doesn't coach up the backups.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: And that's essentially what the Saints are in a nutshell.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Kellen Moore doesn't really coach these guys up. And so
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: if you have your starters, you can compete. And then
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: when those guys start getting hurt, you're porked. Meanwhile, to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the Atlanta side of things, and watch out because everybody
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: jumping up and they're jumping up and down and say, oh,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: my God, there's a new player at the table. A
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: big boy table player there are the Atlanta Falcons. Suddenly,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a legitimate heavyweight contender in the National Football Conference. Hold
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: your horses on that. Congratulations. You beat the Saints. Congratulations.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Way to go. And I will give you a puffy sticker.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I will give you a puffy sticker for that. Beating
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a bad New Orleans team and slapping around a Green
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Bay team that should not make the playoffs. Now, they
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: may make the playoffs. They shouldn't make the playoffs. The Packers.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: And doing that in prime time is neat. That's great.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: So here's my position on the Atlanta football team. They
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: beat a couple of teams that are not elite. So
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that's unfortunately something I can't give you style points for.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I can't. Atlanta brought the razzle-dazzle at times. They had
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: some big plays. But these were games where you were
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: supposed to play well. You had the more talented roster.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: And fine, you did it. And you've got the star power.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: We can all agree that Bajon Robinson and Drake London
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and friends and all these guys, they have the name...
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Players are players that are becoming names in the NFL,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: certainly for you dorks that play fantasy football. It's kind
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of big. And they've got the building blocks, not to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: be the Legion of Boom, more likely Legion of Zoom,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: as they zoom past you. And the blueprint here is
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: rather simple. Run, run, run, run, run. Run the ball early.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Run the ball often. And use your quarterback, Michael Penix Jr.,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: as a decoy. It's essentially what they did. He threw
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the ball, I believe, 20 times or something like that,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: which in modern NFL is not very much. Just keep
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it around that number if you're Atlanta. And everyone loves
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the Dirty Birds today because, let's face it, people that
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: follow sports have chronic recency bias. And if you won,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you're great. And if you lost, you're the worst thing
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: in the world. And that's just the way it is.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: It's just a classic recency bias situation. So you look around,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, John Robinson's legit, but he's just
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: a running back. How far can that take you? He's
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: just having a good running back. And so the Falcons'
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: contender status, I have them still under investigation. The schedule
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: gods are smiling. I believe they play the Ravens and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the Bears upcoming, and those teams will likely be without
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: their starting quarterbacks. So that's good. I'm intrigued by Atlanta.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: But there is a difference between what you do in October,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: being interesting in October and a team to keep an
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: eye on, and then being an intimidating team come January.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: So we're not buying the Falcons. We're not selling the Falcons.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: We're in a holding pattern on the Falcons. The report card,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I wrote down not an A or a B or
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a C. I wrote down an I for incomplete. It
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: is an incomplete report. report card for the Atlanta Falcons.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: All right, now, final point, follow-up, follow-up to a story
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: we talked about in a previous episode of the show.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: We go to Arizona. Another day and another report that
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals could trade wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. I
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: love the engagement farming going on on social media, saying
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: multiple teams doing their due diligence to Their due diligence
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: on the former number four overall pick. Number four. That's live.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. And the Colts were mentioned. Adam Schefter
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: making the rounds there. Somebody brought up the Colts. And
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: he said, wouldn't that make sense? Which, of course, all
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: he had to say, Adam Schefter, was wouldn't that make sense?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And the floodgates were open. So there's a lot of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: trade speculation. I don't understand it because I've actually watched
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: him play. and he can't play. But yet, the always cockeyed,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: optimistic executives around the NFL are like, well, he's bad there,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: but if he comes to our team, he'll be better.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: So a lot of chatter, and the belief is that
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. is likely to be traded. The trade
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: deadline is November 10th. So we're about a month out
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: from the NFL trade deadline. Here's the question. Would Cardinals
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., Going to Indianapolis, because that
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: was the rumor of the day. Marvin Harrison Jr. going
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to Indianapolis. Be the NFL's best feel-good story. Or another
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: example of sports becoming obsessed with nostalgia. It's all about
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the nostalgia. So the arrow on this one is pointing
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: firmly towards schmaltz. It's all about the schmaltzy bullcrap. That's
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: what you love, right? Romanticism. He was a little boy
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: on the sidelines with the Colts, Marvin Harrison Jr., and
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: now he's all grown up dropping catches or not even
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: trying to get open. So his father, of course, Marvin
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Harrison Sr., spent his entire career in Indianapolis, lived a
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: very interesting life off the field, a life that some
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: say was of crime. But he played on Sunday, played well,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: played well on Sunday. And all the family reunion happened.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Tug at the heartstrings. Tug at the heartstrings. Crank up
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the Blackstone. We're going to be grilling some burgers and
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: all that. Why not? Checks all the boxes. Checks all
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the boxes. Good bloodlines. He's 6'4, 220, chiseled out of
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: stone like a Greek god. He's Adonis. You look at
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: this guy, Marvin Harrison Jr., workout warrior. Now, the problem
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: is the actual results. That's the problem here. Four games...
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals have played. How many catches do you think
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. has in four games? What do you
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: think he's got? We'll make it multiple choice. I'll make
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: it easier for you. Do you think he has 13 catches,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: nine catches, or seven catches?
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: All right. Reveal answers. And the correct answer is D.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: None of the above. No, the correct answer is five.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: He's got five catches in four games. Five catches in
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: four games. 85 yards. 85 yards for Marvin Harrison. Can
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I ask you a question? Why are some of you
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: treating Marvin Harrison Jr. like he is an elite receiver?
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: The man has five catches. Five catches. Does that not
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: make him the NFL's ultimate NEPO baby? Top five pick
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: in the draft. Can't play. Can't play. Now, one NFL executive,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I brought this up the other day in a previous
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: episode of the show, but I went back and got
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the quote. So there was an NFL executive recently behind
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: a paywall on The Athletic who gave a scouting report
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: about Marvin Harrison Jr. Here's the scouting report. Said, forget
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: where he was drafted. Watch him play. The NFL. unnamed
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: nfl executive said of marvin harrison jr's watch him play
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: he's like a third receiver with upside now here's the
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: money part of the quote about marvin harrison jr the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: unnamed nfl executive said he's not fast he's not physical
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't do anything after the catch close quote
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: hey oh that's a mic drop right there that is
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a mic drop quote Wow. So not fast, not physical,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't do anything after the catch. Other than that, he's

  Speaker 1: I know. Let me tell you. The great Mike Harmon
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: out there wandering around. It's shocking.

• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Yes?

  Speaker 2: All right.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you. We will get to the man, the myth,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the legend here in a moment. But before we do that,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: let me see. I have a lot of questions for
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: a weed man to see what else we have here.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Page down. I don't see. I do not see the aforementioned.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I'm always looking for Bozo because he laughs every time
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: he hears Bozo's name. Cowboy Drew is out there listening
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to the show. He's checked in. Kathy and Madison. Says
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: she's listening to the Ben Maller show on The Gambler
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland, Ohio, she says. In the air everywhere. Now,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: make sure you're listening, because last time, Kathy, I think
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: you gave a station we were not on that you
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: said you were listening to. So make sure it's the
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: right station. Very important. Very, very important. What else do
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: we have? Let's see. Page down. Monkey Biz Doug from
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: South Korea writes, he says, Ben, that teleprompter belongs to
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the two knuckleheads before your show. It should be limited
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: to our... No, I don't think it's that. I think
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: it's one of the daytime shows. I know they've been
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: trying to get more stuff on YouTube during the day,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: because there's two types of radio. There's 6 a.m. to
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: 6 p.m., and there's 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., which
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: are much different worlds. Much, much different worlds. But right now,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: let's go to Hollywood, Florida, and it's our weekly chat.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: We thought he would show up once or twice, and
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: then that would be it, but he's still here. Our
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: friend Billy from Hollywood, Florida. Hello, Weed Man Hippie!
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Whee!
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Well, he hasn't sent a question. I haven't seen it yet.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: He might have sent a question, but I don't know.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: We'll look.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: We'll look for it. Any opening statement here, Billy, to
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: save the world?
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: Hey, Ben, wasn't the Chicago White Sox like the worst
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: team in baseball last year?
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, the last three years, the White Sox have been
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: an absolute embarrassment. However, they were not trying to win.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: So you cannot, you cannot say, well, they just sucked.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: They were trying to suck. They were trying to be bad,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Weed Man. You know what I'm saying? Because they're no
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: longer trying to be bad. They're actually trying to compete.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: It's shocking. They were tanking the White Sox is what
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: they were doing. I like that you have a sports
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: take here. I like that. We don't normally get sports
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: takes from you, Weed Man, but right off the bat,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: really not a take. It was more of a question.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: No take? Nothing that got your blood boiling this week,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Weed Man?
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: No. We've got to change the world. We've got to
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: make it a better place to live. We've got to
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: stop all the violence and hatred and war.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: We've got to stop it. How's that going?
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: It's not going that well right now.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I got you. All right, well, let's see what happens here.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Fergdog writes in. He says, Hey, Weed Man, do you
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: think Bozo listens to the show in his clown suit
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: with a big red nose and funny shoes? Yes, I do.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, I do.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: All right, FrigDog also says, who do you most want
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: to pair up with for an episode of The Fifth Hour?
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, man, what's up with that? When am I going
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: to be on again?
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: You've already been on twice. There's people that haven't been
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: on once. What are you complaining about?
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay, whenever you want.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Ah, I see. There's a better attitude. You see that? Now,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I think Fergdog wanted you to name other characters on
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: the show that you'd like to be on with, but
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can name very many characters on
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the show because you're a caller, not a listener. Is
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: that accurate?
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: Pretty much.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: You're one of our paid callers, right? We don't... I
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: don't pay you. Perito pays you.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Can you name five other famous callers?
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead. Five other callers. You've been with the
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: show 20 years, Weed Man. Five other callers.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I can. Go ahead.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Sean.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: What? Sean? Huh?
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: I think he's talking about Syria, Sean, who doesn't call anymore.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: He's retired. He was only calling because of Eddie. And
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: then when Eddie got let go, Sean stopped listening. Yeah.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: What else?
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: What's his name?
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: This is the hardest question.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: He's outside the stadium sometimes by you.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Okay. He hasn't called in a while. What's
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: his name?
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Um.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Um.
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: Um.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: This is the one.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: This is a brain buster.
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: Blaine Scott.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, Blaine Scott, definitely.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Lisa knows the show better than you do.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Lisa definitely knows the show.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: Wow. That was great.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: Who else?
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Lisa, want to name any other callers? Go ahead, Lisa, please.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Burrito.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Ah, burrito. That doesn't count. He sends you food. Oh,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: here we go.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: He doesn't call. But the guy you were thinking of,
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: Weed Man, it's also a blank man. Blank man.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Does it help?
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know. He used to be outside the stadium
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: in football cards.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He would sell stuff outside the stadium.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Helmet Man.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Helmet Man.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Helmet Man, Helmet Man, yeah. We miss Helmet Man. Helmet
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Man was a great caller. He hadn't called for a while?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: He hadn't called in a while. I hope he's all right.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: He'd come by the station every once in a while.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: What about the caller that advises other callers to drink
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: their own urine?
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good one.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God. That's so disgusting.
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: Oh, no.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: What about the horoscope, lady?
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. The horoscope. Oh, definitely.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Choose your sign. Go, Lisa. Lisa knows more.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: All right, Weed Man.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I think his memory is just fried. He doesn't remember
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: anything longer than 10 minutes ago.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Who were you on? When you were on
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the fifth hour, who were you on with?
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: There was somebody else you were with.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: Mike, right?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy. All right. Jeez. All right. Well, no, we
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: had Mike the Leprechaun was on this week with Doc Mike.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: They were on together. King Rory writes in and says, Hey,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Weed Man, what do you do when the Internet goes out?
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: It doesn't go out. And then I'd be lost if
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: it went out.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you can do all your TV and your
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: audio stuff on the internet. But you don't have Wi-Fi,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: do you? You just use your phone, right?
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it. That's it. I see everything on my phone.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: It's great. What would you do if they got rid
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: of the Obama phone program? What would you do?
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: I don't have an Obama phone. I have a real phone.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: No, but I thought you said you don't pay for it, right?
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Didn't you tell me that?
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: No, of course I pay for it. I pay $ 60,
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: $ 70 a month.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, you do? Woo, just like me. All right. I
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: thought you told me. Didn't you tell me?
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: Hello.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: How come your phone sounds so bad?
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: What are you talking about?
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Why are you talking bad?
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Know.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: People were complaining about the quality of the phone. They
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: said it didn't sound good.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: No, my phone is good.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: You hear me well, right? You sound fine to me.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: People were complaining. Late Night Drug Tester writes in and says,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Today is zero inbox day. Has Weed Man Hippie deleted
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: all the useless emails today? from his inbox. Yeah, Weedman,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: do you ever delete your email?
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: I don't need a phone. I don't have any email.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: First of all, it's not spelled right. And I never
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: need it.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: All right, Alf. Here's Alf writing, and he says, so
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Weedman's phone magically works fine for Ask a Weedman. That's
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: what they're saying. Like, it didn't work that well. Robbie
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the Mariner fan says, ask Weedman if he even remembers
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: me from our mailbag appearance. Clearly he doesn't. He called
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: you Mike, Robbie. So he obviously does not remember. Yeah,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: there you go. The great Robbie the Mariner fan, of course.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: All right. Billy, what are your thoughts? This is from
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Nada from LAX. She writes in.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Hi, Nada.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: She says, Billy, what are your thoughts on the theory
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: of chaos and algebraic topology? I can't even say it.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: Hey, how is AI, artificial intelligence, going to kill everybody?
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: How is that going to happen? Why is it going
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: to happen?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Well, you'll find out, I guess. We'll all find out.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Listen, people try to scare you. Everyone
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: wants to scare you.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: It doesn't make any sense. How could that possibly be?
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: It makes sense. If you can access bad things that
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: could kill everyone, then they could kill everyone. Bozo, the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: district attorney, writes in. Here he is, Bozo, weed man.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Bozo, district attorney. Bozo's a clown.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: All right, calm down. He loves that. Every time he
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: falls for that. With all those nights you spent sleeping
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: on the beach, did you ever see a UFO or UAP?
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: Yes, I have. I've definitely seen them. The aliens are
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: out there. I've seen them.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: What did you see?
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: I saw five, six ships floating in the air, and
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: then they disappeared really quick.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: How long ago was this?
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: A while ago. But I saw that.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: So this was before drones and all that? Yes. Okay.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: All right. I got you. It's aliens.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: It's definitely aliens. And they're more advanced than we are
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: because they can get here, but we can't go there.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: We get to the moon. That's it. They're coming from
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: other galaxies. That's crazy.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: They're way more advanced than we are. I haven't been
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: to the moon in a long time, Wee Man. It's
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: been a long time.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. All right. They're coming from God
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: knows where.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: All right. Perito writes in. You're a hero.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: Perito.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: What did Weed Man want this month? Come on, Perito.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: Come on. That steak and baked potato was great. You
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: haven't sent me anything in such a long time.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: That was wonderful.
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: I love you. Thank you.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Perito doesn't have to send you anything. He didn't need
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: to send you anything.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: No, of course not. But he did.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: He did. Where was the steak from?
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: From the Outback Steakhouse. Outback Steakhouse.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: What about the Bloomin' Onion? You ever had a Bloomin' Onion?
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Do you know what a Bloomin' Onion is? No. What
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: do you think of blue? No. Don't get that.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: That's the worst thing on the menu.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: What? Well, no, Lisa, she's health conscious. You do fitness, right?
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: That's illegal. You do fitness, right, Lisa?
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: That's illegal.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It is.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: It's terrible for you.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, and the sauce is really bad, too. The dipping sauce,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: you should not dip it in that. It's bad.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: It's deep fried.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very fried.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Battered and deep fried.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's disgusting. Yeah, it's very.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's delicious, but it's bad.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it tastes great, but you should not eat it.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: We always send you a steak and a baked potato.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: It was great.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Enough of that. Let's see here. The Ben Maller Show
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: quote account, which quotes the show, obviously, thus the name, says,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: what is your favorite all-time snack that Purito has sent you?
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's the steak. That's not really a snack.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: But that's a meal. That's not a snack.
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, no, that was a meal.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: That was great.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Because he sent me McDonald's also. But I like steak
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: and baked potato.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Enough, enough, enough. At least he's tired of hearing about
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: your food.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: All right, so here's a guy, Steve writes in. This
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: is an email. He says, hey, Ben, ask Weedman about
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the UFO whistleblower. Who says that U.S. troops fired at
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: a seven foot tall reptilian after an alien ship crashed.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: A UFO. A UFO. The guy didn't say UFO whistleblower
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: claimed that U.S. military shot and killed a reptilian. And
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: they survived. The spacecraft apparently crashed and all that.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: You know, I can't believe Donald Trump is president. Lisa
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: and I.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Used to go to these casinos. I know, I know. Stop, stop.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I know, exactly. Lisa's got to keep you in line, right?
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: That's why you're here, Lisa. Keep him in line. He's
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: such a rebel, this guy. It's out of control. Absolutely.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: This one from Dave writes in on the mailbag, on
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the email, actually, to the show, benmallershow at gmail.com, and says,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: a passenger has been banned from flying after... after asking
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: to kick a flight attendant as compensation for being bumped
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: by the cart. Apparently this happened in China. And this
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: guy wants to know, Weed Man, what's the worst thing
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: that ever happened while you were flying? But I don't
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: think you've flown in a long time, Weed Man, right?
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Oh, very long time.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I bet you the last time you flew, they probably
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: had smoking on the planes the last time you flew, right?
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: Well, when I went to Maui.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's nice. Let me guess, in the 90s? Probably
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: the 90s, right? Yeah, way back.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, way back in the day.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: All right, well, we'll leave it there. Thank you, Weed Man,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: as always. Thank you, Lisa. All right, we love you both.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Be good, you two kids. There they go. Lisa from
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: New York and our friend Billy from Hollywood, Florida. And
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the phone's apparently stuck, so I guess Weed Man's just
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: going to be on forever and ever and ever. It's jammed. Okay,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: so there, on my end it's jammed. So we'll do
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: a system reset. Boy, that'll be great. Nothing goes, nothing
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: goes better than a hot system. Gremlins, gremlins. No, no,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: it is because it's, it's not matching up the, the
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: hybrid thing here and then what's on the computer do
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: not match up. So we'll reset that. We'll clean that
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: up in post. It is the Ben Maler Show. Time
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: now for the Insta Trivia. And here we go. The
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Falcons are running back. Bajon Robinson and Blank are the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: only two players in NFL history with three 50-plus-yard rushing
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: touchdowns on Monday night football games. Again, Bajon Robinson of
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the Falcons has joined Blank. As the only two players
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: in NFL history with 350-plus yard rushing touchdowns on Monday
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: night football games. That is the instant trivia. The answer.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: We'll get to it. And Mallard of the third degree.

  Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show on YouTube. Back to it. Time to
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: pay off the Insta trivia. Bajon Robinson of the Falcons
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: and Blank are the only two players in NFL history
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: with 350-plus rushing yard touchdowns on Monday night. So 350-plus
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: yard rushing touchdowns on Monday night. That is the question.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: What is the answer? And let's see, does anyone know
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the answer? We go to the great unwashed here. MallorPropGuy
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: says it's FergDawg. The Fullerton Finleys. Who else do we have?
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Page down. C.J. Gardner-Johnson of ALF, the alien from ALF.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, guest by the Malheur quote account. Jerry Najar
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: went Icky Woods, Jerry's boy. Got it right, unless you didn't,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: JT the Wingman. Do you have an answer right now?
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: A-boo-boo.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: You know from Yogi and the Bear? JT got it right.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: It's Emmett Smith was the correct answer. All right, here
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: we go.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Goop, goop, goop, goop, goop, goop.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: And the giants defeated the cardinals 36 to 24 on
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: sunday and they were underdogs at home after the game
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: cam scat who said it's dumb it's dumb to be
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: underdogs at home felt like they were disrespected ben do
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: you think it was dumb that they were the underdogs
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: at home?
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: No.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals had the ball driving down the field late
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: and then the Jacoby was sent through an interception. The
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Cardinals were in position to, I think, tie the game
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: or take the lead even late in that game. It
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't disrespect. The Giants have Jameis Winston. That's the proper
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: level of respect. Your quarterback's Jameis Winston.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Next!
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Next!
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: So the Packers were able to win another game.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: They're now two and two, but they didn't look any
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: better doing it.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: No, they didn't.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: They're missing Micah Parsons and Josh Jacobs. Do you think
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: when those two eventually return, things will turn around for
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: Green Bay?
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: No, because Micah Parsons doesn't sound like he's in a
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: rush to come back. He's milking it, taking his time.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: And imagine if he got paid based on his performance.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: He had to show up and work. He'd probably already
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: be playing. But the problem is Jordan Love is not
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: as good as the Packers thought he was going to be.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: And you don't get around that. How do you get
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: better with that? He's just not that good. He's mediocre. Next.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Travis Hunter had a good game on defense. Had an
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: interception that was nullified by a penalty. Cut some pass
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: deflections and a few big hits. but he didn't play
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: a single snap on offense. Have we seen the end
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: of this two-way experiment?
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Well, it would appear if you don't play a single
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: snap on offense, you're no longer a two-way player. You're
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: only a defensive player. And so why did the Jags
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: trade up to get him? It's ridiculous. How do we
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: do a couple out?
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: He passes it.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: That is a win. Put it on the board.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Winner, winner, winner.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: TV dinner.
