Latest / The Ben Maller Show / Hour 4 - Straight to the Dome
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Oh, what's going on? I hope you're enjoying your Friday morning.
- 0:03Speaker 1: Here we will get to not braving the elements and
- 0:10Speaker 1: a column that is so far beyond dumb it's just irresponsible.
- 0:15Speaker 1: We'll get to that momentarily. For over forty years, ti
- 0:18Speaker 1: Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
- 0:20Speaker 1: what and where they drive, shipped fast and free back
- 0:23Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection, with convenient installation options like
- 0:27Speaker 1: mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com. The way tire
- 0:30Speaker 1: buying should be. All right, So let's start off with
- 0:33Speaker 1: ball and we will get to the outrageously dumb column
- 0:38Speaker 1: that I read before the show. So did you see this?
- 0:44Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs. So their new stadium is going
- 0:48Speaker 1: to open in twenty thirty one, so we're a long
- 0:51Speaker 1: time away, but we're inching closer to that. And this
- 0:55Speaker 1: is going to be on the Kansas side of the
- 0:57Speaker 1: Missouri Kansas border. And so they wrote all these fancy
- 1:01Speaker 1: details about it, a legacy reimagined. All right, it's gonna
- 1:04Speaker 1: be a brand new stadium twenty thirty one for the Chiefs.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Every detail they write of our new stadium, honors are past.
- 1:12Speaker 1: As we innovate for the future. Our home will amplify
- 1:16Speaker 1: seventy thousand of the world's loudest fans, facilitate world class tailgating,
- 1:21Speaker 1: and preserve our unrivaled home field advantage. It's gonna be
- 1:25Speaker 1: a three billion dollars stadium, and it's gonna feature fully enclosed,
- 1:31Speaker 1: translucent roof, but maintain the shape of Arrowhead Stadium. I
- 1:36Speaker 1: like the last part. That's kind of cool. You have
- 1:38Speaker 1: the same shape, the same sort of design, same field.
- 1:41Speaker 1: The only thing is it's no longer outside subtle difference.
- 1:45Speaker 1: You know, you remember when the Chiefs played the Dolphins
- 1:48Speaker 1: in that playoff game not too long ago, frigid It's
- 1:51Speaker 1: like four degrees or something crazy like that, and the
- 1:55Speaker 1: Dolphins literally could not function. Whatso that's a home field advantage,
- 2:01Speaker 1: a home field advantage of we're gonna preserve our unrivaled
- 2:04Speaker 1: home field advantage. We're just inside, now, what are you
- 2:07Speaker 1: talking about? I don't Maybe it's just me. I just
- 2:10Speaker 1: I hate that a lot of these stadiums are going
- 2:13Speaker 1: fully indoors. It'd be one thing if you go retractable roof.
- 2:18Speaker 1: I'm totally fine with that. Where I get it, the
- 2:21Speaker 1: business side of it you want to host a super Bowl,
- 2:24Speaker 1: you want to host a Final Four, right, I get
- 2:27Speaker 1: all that. You want to host concerts in the winter time, fine,
- 2:29Speaker 1: totally get it. You don't want an open air stadium,
- 2:32Speaker 1: but go retractable roof. Man, there's something beautiful about bad
- 2:38Speaker 1: weather NFL playoff games. It's like, we're gonna have an
- 2:42Speaker 1: indoor Bears stadium eventually. That's crazy to me. I remember
- 2:47Speaker 1: I had flashbacks today of the eighty five Bears and
- 2:51Speaker 1: one of the games they beat the Rams in the
- 2:55Speaker 1: eighty five season. They beat the Giants in the eighty
- 2:58Speaker 1: five season in the playoffs, and there's like snow, there's
- 3:02Speaker 1: a defensive score, it's slow motion. It's like the NFL film.
- 3:06Speaker 1: So it's beautiful. I love that stuff. It's just falling
- 3:10Speaker 1: by the wayside. I hate that. I don't like it.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Some people are on the other side and they're totally
- 3:17Speaker 1: fine with all these indoor stadiums, and I just find
- 3:20Speaker 1: there's something sad about that. Some of these teams have
- 3:24Speaker 1: a real home field advantage come playoff time. They're used
- 3:27Speaker 1: to the cold more than warm weather teams are. It's
- 3:31Speaker 1: a big advantage, and they're just nullifying it. I just
- 3:34Speaker 1: I'm not a fan. I'm much more in the category
- 3:39Speaker 1: of just get a retractable roof. Man, you can have
- 3:41Speaker 1: the best of both worlds. You can open the roof,
- 3:44Speaker 1: have your cold weather NFL playoff game. You can close
- 3:47Speaker 1: the roof and have your concert in the winner, your
- 3:51Speaker 1: Final Four, your super Bowl. You can have all that,
- 3:52Speaker 1: the best of both worlds. It's a three billion dollars stadium.
- 3:57Speaker 1: If you're going that heavy on cost, you don't have
- 4:01Speaker 1: a couple of bucks laying around for a retractable roof.
- 4:04Speaker 1: That's just wild to me. Man, I'm not a fan.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I just for anyone who's like, oh, all indoor, all
- 4:10Speaker 1: across the board, do you want Lambeau to be indoors.
- 4:14Speaker 1: There's just that something in your football heart, your football
- 4:17Speaker 1: soul that's like, that's just wrong. It's just wrong. I
- 4:23Speaker 1: don't like it. At least, Buffalo is still gonna be outside,
- 4:26Speaker 1: and they met in the middle. They made some concessions.
- 4:29Speaker 1: They built the stadium in a way where it cuts
- 4:32Speaker 1: down on the crazy wind. I think that's a fair compromise.
- 4:37Speaker 1: You're still outdoors, you're still in the elements. Let's say
- 4:40Speaker 1: they're playing the Dolphins in the playoffs in Buffalo. That's
- 4:43Speaker 1: a big advantage for them or whatever warm weather team,
- 4:47Speaker 1: especially the Dolphins in Miami the humidity, that's a big advantage.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I don't know why you would just nullify that and
- 4:53Speaker 1: not at least give yourself the option to like, ah,
- 4:57Speaker 1: we're gonna open the roof today. Now we're not going
- 4:59Speaker 1: to open the roof today. You're just like closed roof
- 5:01Speaker 1: all the time, every game, like no option whatsoever. That's
- 5:06Speaker 1: crazy to me, But that's just where I'm at. I
- 5:09Speaker 1: don't know some people might agree with that. I'm sure
- 5:11Speaker 1: some people will just hit me on X and say,
- 5:14Speaker 1: I remember you played country soundbites in the former past segment,
- 5:18Speaker 1: so I'm still mad at you that sort of thing.
- 5:20Speaker 1: So there's no winning at some point here. But let
- 5:23Speaker 1: me get to this stupid column here in a second.
- 5:25Speaker 1: I'm Brian no In for Big Ben Malor here on
- 5:27Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. The hiring market moves fast. Specializing Recruiting
- 5:32Speaker 1: group moves faster from contract to direct higher SRG, not SVR.
- 5:41Speaker 1: That would be Stevie Ray Vaughan. No SRG eliminates the
- 5:45Speaker 1: red tape and delivers professional staffing solutions with local insight
- 5:49Speaker 1: in national reach. SRG goes beyond resumes to find the
- 5:54Speaker 1: right fit for your business. Start building your team today
- 5:57Speaker 1: at srgpros dot com. All right, so here we go.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Here's I'm gonna have to read something that I think
- 6:07Speaker 1: is absolutely beyond idiotic, like braindead with this column. One
- 6:15Speaker 1: of my friends sent me this column in the morning
- 6:18Speaker 1: and he was basically like, I can't believe this is
- 6:21Speaker 1: a real thing. I thought this was like the Onion.
- 6:23Speaker 1: I thought this was sort of a made up shock
- 6:26Speaker 1: jock column, you know, like poking fun at other shock
- 6:29Speaker 1: jock columns. And he was like, there's a real thing.
- 6:33Speaker 1: And so I read this thing. It's on USA Today Sports.
- 6:37Speaker 1: There's a column written by Nancy Armor and she's talking
- 6:41Speaker 1: about Caitlin Clark. So the tweet just simply says Clark
- 6:47Speaker 1: has repeatedly berated refs after not getting calls replays show
- 6:53Speaker 1: she doesn't deserve. Okay, so we can all grasp that
- 6:57Speaker 1: the column this is saying Caitlyn Clark is yelling at
- 7:01Speaker 1: officials and she's arguing she should get the call when
- 7:05Speaker 1: replay shows she shouldn't get the call. That's what she's
- 7:08Speaker 1: talking about. Some would call that working the refs Nancy armor.
- 7:12Speaker 1: The columnists would call it something much different, much much different.
- 7:17Speaker 1: So I got to read a couple of things just
- 7:20Speaker 1: so you understand. Hopefully it's painless and we can you
- 7:24Speaker 1: get the context and you can get to the point.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Would at least my takeaway of this. So what Nancy
- 7:32Speaker 1: is saying this is all about. What she's pointing out
- 7:37Speaker 1: is Caitlin Clark essentially flopping trying to draw a foul.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Some would say, working the officials, right, just that was
- 7:45Speaker 1: a foul. Ref where you you know, call it? What
- 7:47Speaker 1: is that? And it the replay shows that's really not
- 7:50Speaker 1: a foul. Nothing sinister, nothing evil about that whatsoever. It's
- 7:55Speaker 1: just basketball. But Nancy twists and contorts this into something
- 8:01Speaker 1: that's just like, wow, dude, that is the most major
- 8:05Speaker 1: league reach of reaches I've ever heard before. So she
- 8:10Speaker 1: points out a couple of times recently that Caitlyn Clark is,
- 8:13Speaker 1: you know, working the officials, yelling at them, saying where's
- 8:16Speaker 1: the call? That's a foul and replay shows it's not
- 8:19Speaker 1: really a foul. So what Nancy points out is that
- 8:23Speaker 1: she's saying that there's there seems to be a white
- 8:26Speaker 1: nationalist faction that rushes to Caitlin Clark's defense, and they
- 8:33Speaker 1: might shout down opponents who happen to be black women.
- 8:38Speaker 1: That's her point. And so I'll just read one paragraph
- 8:43Speaker 1: that's just like, whoa, what are we doing right here?
- 8:46Speaker 1: So she goes on to write it shouldn't need reminding.
- 8:50Speaker 1: This country has an awful history of black people being harmed,
- 8:54Speaker 1: even killed in the name of quote unquote defending white women.
- 8:59Speaker 1: The iron of the WNBA's All Star Game is that
- 9:02Speaker 1: it's happening this weekend in Chicago, the hometown of Emmett Till,
- 9:07Speaker 1: who became an icon of the civil rights movement after
- 9:10Speaker 1: his tragic murder. The local art gallery is currently hosting
- 9:14Speaker 1: an exhibit imagining his life if he weren't if he
- 9:18Speaker 1: hadn't been lynched. While it's incumbent on the WNBA to
- 9:23Speaker 1: do more to protect its players, there also should be
- 9:26Speaker 1: an expectation on Clark to recognize the broader implications of
- 9:32Speaker 1: her actions being weaponized. Now she ends it saying again,
- 9:36Speaker 1: I'm not a Clark hater. She's great for the league
- 9:38Speaker 1: and for women's sports. She'll be even better when she
- 9:41Speaker 1: cuts out the Oscar auditions. So she's saying she's flopping,
- 9:46Speaker 1: she's flailing, she's trying to draw files get the whistle
- 9:51Speaker 1: when she didn't actually get fouled at times. That's her
- 9:55Speaker 1: whole point. And then she made it into what I
- 9:57Speaker 1: just read you, which is like what, So here's what
- 10:00Speaker 1: I would say. Two simple takeaways from this idiotic column.
- 10:06Speaker 1: No athlete. No athlete should change their style of play
- 10:12Speaker 1: because stupid people might say stupid things. No one should
- 10:16Speaker 1: change that. Caitlyn Clark shouldn't take this advice and be like, yeah,
- 10:20Speaker 1: you know what, I shouldn't try to draw a foul
- 10:23Speaker 1: against I don't know Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, name any
- 10:28Speaker 1: black women's player. I shouldn't try to draw a foul
- 10:31Speaker 1: on Asia Wilson because some crazy, unhinged white nationalists might
- 10:37Speaker 1: say some crazy stuff. So let me not try. Let
- 10:40Speaker 1: me not do that, let me not try to flop
- 10:42Speaker 1: or accentuate contact. Let's not do that. That would be
- 10:45Speaker 1: a dumb move. No athlete, whether it's Kitlyn Clark, Angel Reese,
- 10:51Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Lebron, anyone we've talked, No athlete should change
- 10:56Speaker 1: their style of play because dumb people will point out
- 11:00Speaker 1: dumb things. That makes no sense. And The larger point
- 11:03Speaker 1: is this, sports aren't real life. You can't try to
- 11:10Speaker 1: shoehorn politics or history into sports. It's just sports, that's
- 11:17Speaker 1: all it is. You could play that game until you're
- 11:19Speaker 1: blue in the face and it would make zero sense.
- 11:23Speaker 1: You could say, all right, Nick Bosa of the forty
- 11:26Speaker 1: nine ers, white guy, he sacks Dak Prescott, black quarterback,
- 11:32Speaker 1: and man Nick Bosa he got really hammered him into
- 11:35Speaker 1: the ground, right, And well, I mean, we've got a
- 11:37Speaker 1: history of racism in this country, so that's kind of
- 11:40Speaker 1: messed up. It's like, no, no, it's just football. This
- 11:45Speaker 1: has nothing to do with a horrible past of races.
- 11:49Speaker 1: There's nothing to do with none of that. I've got
- 11:53Speaker 1: a memory of one of my old old coaches. I
- 11:58Speaker 1: thought about this after reading this idiot a column, and uh,
- 12:02Speaker 1: coach Burkhardt, who's one of my high school football coaches.
- 12:04Speaker 1: I'll never forget. He said this one time. He goes,
- 12:06Speaker 1: football is the greatest game ever. You can do things
- 12:09Speaker 1: on the field that you'd get arrested for in real life.
- 12:13Speaker 1: And he's so right like that. You can't can't just
- 12:17Speaker 1: go up and and tackle your boss, like hey, Scott Shapiro,
- 12:21Speaker 1: how about some more fill in shifts over here, and
- 12:23Speaker 1: I just spear them like I'm Goldberg, Like that's it's
- 12:25Speaker 1: not a thing. You can't do that in real life.
- 12:27Speaker 1: You can do it on the football field. Football is
- 12:30Speaker 1: not real life. Football is not society. It's a sport,
- 12:37Speaker 1: that's all it is. To make it anything more than
- 12:40Speaker 1: that is dumb. It's idiotic. I don't know what it is.
- 12:46Speaker 1: It's just, you know, the real, the real travesty in
- 12:51Speaker 1: this whole Caitlin Clark thing. How many times has someone
- 12:57Speaker 1: tried to sort of like point a finger at man.
- 12:59Speaker 1: There's been a lot of dumb things said, and then
- 13:01Speaker 1: they say or write something way dumber. It happens time
- 13:07Speaker 1: and time again. And that's what happens also with the media.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Media isn't dumb. They know what's gonna get a reaction. Now,
- 13:16Speaker 1: they might put something out there that's idiotic. I would
- 13:19Speaker 1: argue irresponsible, but they know they're gonna get a reaction.
- 13:24Speaker 1: And that's what Nancy Armor, the USA Today's Sports columnists got.
- 13:28Speaker 1: This tweet has five point three million views. You think
- 13:35Speaker 1: she didn't know that was coming? Of course she did.
- 13:39Speaker 1: You just put out something wild, made this major league
- 13:41Speaker 1: stretch and all of a sudden, Caitlin Clark, who's trying
- 13:45Speaker 1: to get the whistle, is all of a sudden putting
- 13:50Speaker 1: black women in a horrible spot because she's really just
- 13:54Speaker 1: trying to accentuate contact or just outright flop like like
- 14:00Speaker 1: if SGA does it, if James Harden does it, if
- 14:03Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson does it, no big deal, which it shouldn't be.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark does it. This is you know, this is
- 14:11Speaker 1: a girl that's putting black women in a horrible spot.
- 14:14Speaker 1: That's just dumb. Listen, It's not Caitlin Clark's fault that
- 14:19Speaker 1: stupid people are saying stupid things. It's the fault of
- 14:24Speaker 1: the stupid people for saying those stupid things. Don't get
- 14:28Speaker 1: that twisted at all, whatsoever. A man, I don't know
- 14:33Speaker 1: what it is. Where I'll give rich Ornberger credit. We
- 14:37Speaker 1: do a show on Saturdays here on Fox, and he said,
- 14:41Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark isn't the problem. Everybody else is the problem.
- 14:45Speaker 1: It's like, it's right on the money. Caitlin Clark is
- 14:49Speaker 1: not fanning the flames, just causing drama, saying crazy outlandish stuff.
- 14:57Speaker 1: She's playing basketball. She's playing basketball. And all of a sudden,
- 15:03Speaker 1: there's this storm around her. It's politically fueled, it's racially fueled,
- 15:09Speaker 1: it's all of this stuff. And people make the mistake
- 15:14Speaker 1: of blaming Caitlin Clark for that. It's not her fault.
- 15:19Speaker 1: It's everybody else's fault for being irresponsible. So to make
- 15:24Speaker 1: that her fault is so idiotic, it's so ridiculous. So
- 15:29Speaker 1: if you take anything away from this, please don't be
- 15:32Speaker 1: one of those people that tries to read between the
- 15:35Speaker 1: lines and look for something that really isn't there. And
- 15:40Speaker 1: if you're trying to make sports out to be politics, society, history,
- 15:48Speaker 1: it's none of those things. It's just sports.
- 15:53Speaker 2: That's it.
- 15:54Speaker 1: If you're trying to make sga like flailing and falling
- 15:58Speaker 1: onto the floor any thing, but just that, you're a moron.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I hate to be that blunt, but that's just what
- 16:05Speaker 1: it is. You're looking for something that isn't there. And
- 16:09Speaker 1: it's the same thing with Caitlin Clark.
- 16:11Speaker 3: Man.
- 16:11Speaker 1: It's sad where it's gotten, but that's where we are,
- 16:14Speaker 1: all right. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is
- 16:16Speaker 1: your phone number at the no show is where you
- 16:18Speaker 1: can reach me on X Coming up next. I got
- 16:23Speaker 1: ball on the brain Man, We'll get to the NFL
- 16:25Speaker 1: over here. Coops scoops coming up as well. I've got
- 16:28Speaker 1: a running back that's a candidate to take a big
- 16:31Speaker 1: step forward. I'm expecting a big season from this guy.
- 16:34Speaker 1: And another running back with a huge name that I
- 16:36Speaker 1: think is going to take a big step backward. We'll
- 16:39Speaker 1: get to that right around the corner. I'm Brian no

- 17:30Speaker 1: we get the Coop Scoops here, which I'm very much
- 17:32Speaker 1: looking forward to, looking forward to seeing what Coop has
- 17:37Speaker 1: to bring to the party. Here, a couple of running backs.
- 17:40Speaker 1: One I think could take a big step forward, one
- 17:42Speaker 1: that I think will take a step backward. The step
- 17:45Speaker 1: forward guy is Chargers running back Amari and Hampton. I
- 17:49Speaker 1: like this guy in college a lot. It's a home
- 17:51Speaker 1: run hitter at UNC, and his rushing yardage is uh,
- 17:58Speaker 1: it's at nine twenty five and a half. Is that
- 18:02Speaker 1: bet MGM for the season. Now, he didn't have a
- 18:05Speaker 1: great rookie season. Now, he broke his ankle, so that
- 18:08Speaker 1: was the thing. He missed eight weeks. He had a
- 18:09Speaker 1: broken ankle. Freak injury. It happens. But I think he's
- 18:13Speaker 1: off the radar because if you look at him heading
- 18:15Speaker 1: into this season, you're not getting a whole lot of fanfare.
- 18:18Speaker 1: No one's gonna be oh Marion Hampton here. But I
- 18:21Speaker 1: think he's more of like a diamond in the rough.
- 18:23Speaker 1: If you look at this guy when he just he
- 18:25Speaker 1: had about one hundred and twenty five carries. Last season,
- 18:28Speaker 1: he had won twenty four for five hundred and forty
- 18:31Speaker 1: five yards. He's probably gonna have a much greater carry
- 18:35Speaker 1: load this season. And then you also look at the
- 18:38Speaker 1: offensive line of the Chargers. You get both offensive tackles
- 18:41Speaker 1: back healthy. Rashaun Slater missed the entire season. Joe Walt
- 18:45Speaker 1: only started six games. So think about that. Of thirty
- 18:49Speaker 1: four combined starts by your offensive tackles, they made six,
- 18:55Speaker 1: imagine if they have a fully healthy season. Plus they
- 18:57Speaker 1: also got Tyler Biattish, they went out and got him.
- 19:01Speaker 1: They also picked up Cole Strange. They drafted Jake Slaughter
- 19:04Speaker 1: in the second round. So they revamped the interior offensive
- 19:07Speaker 1: line and they get both of their offensive tackles back.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Plus you get Mike McDaniel there as the offensive coordinator,
- 19:14Speaker 1: and we know his credentials on that. Kyle Shanahan coaching
- 19:18Speaker 1: tree rushing games, saw his success with the Miami Dolphins
- 19:23Speaker 1: with the von A chan So I think that Amari
- 19:25Speaker 1: and Hampton could have a really good year two in
- 19:28Speaker 1: the NFL. I would take over nine to twenty five
- 19:30Speaker 1: and a half rushing yards and a guy that I
- 19:32Speaker 1: think will take a step back. I think, unfortunately, it's
- 19:34Speaker 1: gonna be Christian McCaffrey. His rushing tolllet it seems very low,
- 19:39Speaker 1: nine to fifty and a half. It seems like, oh
- 19:42Speaker 1: my gosh, you just he's gonna walk to nine fifty one.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Not so fast? That's so fast,
- 19:50Speaker 1: my friend. A nod to Lee Corso right there. There
- 19:54Speaker 1: are a couple of stats you gotta keep in mind here.
- 19:57Speaker 1: The injury bug with Christian McCaffrey has not been so
- 20:00Speaker 1: He's played more than eleven games just three times in
- 20:06Speaker 1: the past eight seasons. Think about that, he's missing seven
- 20:11Speaker 1: games at least in five of the last eight seasons.
- 20:17Speaker 1: If that happens again, your chances are not good of
- 20:21Speaker 1: hitting the over. You look at twenty twenty four, so
- 20:25Speaker 1: that was two seasons ago he missed thirteen games. Now
- 20:28Speaker 1: he was healthy. Last season he played really, really well.
- 20:32Speaker 1: He had a career high though, four hundred and thirteen
- 20:36Speaker 1: touches last season, four thirteen. He just turned thirty in June.
- 20:42Speaker 1: A lot of running backs. That's bad. When you hit thirty,
- 20:45Speaker 1: it's it's not a good thing. Not a good thing.
- 20:48Speaker 1: As far as your production in the NFL, there are
- 20:50Speaker 1: some exceptions. Frank Gore, I swear he lasted until he
- 20:54Speaker 1: was eighty in football years, So there are exceptions. But
- 20:58Speaker 1: Christian McCaffery, who's been no stranger to injuries, man, I
- 21:03Speaker 1: would not be surprised after a season that he had
- 21:05Speaker 1: four hundred and thirteen touches where he's nicked up here,
- 21:09Speaker 1: nicked up there. He had the Achilles issue that in
- 21:14Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. I don't love it. I would take the
- 21:18Speaker 1: under nine to fifty and a half. That's at bet MGM. Also,
- 21:22Speaker 1: I love Christian McCaffrey, great running back. He just he
- 21:26Speaker 1: banged up too much for my liking. All Right, we
- 21:29Speaker 1: get to kop Scoops in just a second. First, though,
- 21:31Speaker 1: Mark is from North End right here. He's got a
- 21:34Speaker 1: thought on Dome stadiumsis about this.
- 21:35Speaker 2: What's up?
- 21:36Speaker 1: Mark, You're on Fox Sports Radio.
- 21:38Speaker 6: How's it going, Brian?
- 21:39Speaker 2: What's up?
- 21:39Speaker 6: But so I agree with you. I'm not a big
- 21:42Speaker 6: fan of the indoor stadiums are completely indoor stadiums, but
- 21:46Speaker 6: I am a fan of the retractable roofs. Especially. I
- 21:49Speaker 6: think every NFL team, a baseball team that is known
- 21:54Speaker 6: for bad weather during the summertime or the time should
- 21:57Speaker 6: have a retractable roof. I have a funny story for you.
- 22:01Speaker 6: About a week or two ago, I had placed a
- 22:04Speaker 6: bet on a Toronto Blue Jays and I believe it
- 22:06Speaker 6: was against the Phillies, Okay, and it was in Toronto,
- 22:10Speaker 6: and the game was delayed for over an hour for
- 22:13Speaker 6: weather issues. Now, that is a dome stadium and it
- 22:16Speaker 6: has a retractable roof. Are you telling me that you
- 22:19Speaker 6: didn't know there was rain coming to close the roof
- 22:22Speaker 6: that you had to delay the game for an hour
- 22:25Speaker 6: until it stopped. That's asinine.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty bad. That's bad. Coincidentally, I got there
- 22:31Speaker 1: this year. I went to a Blue Jays game I
- 22:33Speaker 1: don't know, maybe a little more than a month ago
- 22:35Speaker 1: something like that, and it was great. I thought they
- 22:38Speaker 1: were going to close it Mark and I'm like, I
- 22:40Speaker 1: hope it's open tonight, and it was. It's a much
- 22:42Speaker 1: different feel when it's open like that.
- 22:44Speaker 6: But yeah, you.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Get they not have a dobbler over there in Canada. Comebine,
- 22:47Speaker 1: you got to see the storm coming.
- 22:49Speaker 6: But I'm a big fan of you know, football in
- 22:51Speaker 6: the snow, so snowing leaves the roof open. But if
- 22:56Speaker 6: if you got like a torrential downpour or whatnot, especially
- 22:59Speaker 6: with the I don't know the these turf fields, but
- 23:02Speaker 6: there's no real grass anymore. That's another thing. Bring you
- 23:05Speaker 6: back the real grass because I love seeing guys getting money.
- 23:08Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm with you on that, Mark. I appreciate it, man,
- 23:11Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. Yes, I don't know, man, I
- 23:15Speaker 1: hate seeing so many There's something about the Chicago Bears
- 23:19Speaker 1: is actually a running joke because I grew up in
- 23:21Speaker 1: South Bend, Indiana. I listened to a lot of Chicago
- 23:24Speaker 1: sports radio when I was growing up, and one of
- 23:27Speaker 1: my buddies is a big Bears fan. I always was
- 23:29Speaker 1: a Dolphins fan, but he's a big Bears fan. We
- 23:32Speaker 1: always used to make fun. There would be all these
- 23:34Speaker 1: Chicago callers that would call up and and just be like, yeah,
- 23:38Speaker 1: you know, when they come to Chicago and you got
- 23:40Speaker 1: bare weather, it's not gonna be good for them, you
- 23:42Speaker 1: know that sort of thing. We're like just rolling our eyes, like, Okay,
- 23:45Speaker 1: you're making this out to be way bigger of an
- 23:48Speaker 1: advantage than it actually is. But it is an advantage.
- 23:53Speaker 1: But there's something just just not right. It's like almost
- 23:58Speaker 1: a sacred football thing. The Bears should be playing outdoors man.
- 24:03Speaker 1: They're the Chicago Bears and they're indoors soon. I just
- 24:09Speaker 1: I cannot wrap my arms around that. There's something gross
- 24:12Speaker 1: about that. Not a fan, not a fan, all right.
- 24:14Speaker 1: I am a fan though, of Justin Cooper, and a
- 24:17Speaker 1: bigger fan of Coop Scoops. He's got the latest forest
- 24:21Speaker 1: you take it away, Cooper, hold on, hold on, Lorena,
- 24:26Speaker 1: he's got a football thought.
- 24:27Speaker 2: For no, no, we need It's a tradition. Every week.
- 24:30Speaker 7: I have a I have a an announcer for this.
- 24:33Speaker 7: Hold on here, okay, all right, go ahead, Marcel.
- 24:38Speaker 3: Oh yes, it is good morning, Brian, Nola, Lorena and you.

- 24:48Speaker 3: so here it is Justin Cooper is all your Thank you?
- 24:52Speaker 2: Marcel as a way better.
- 24:54Speaker 1: I like Marcel's introduction way more than Biden. That was fantastic.
- 24:58Speaker 7: He's seasoned, you know, he doesn't doesn't every week for
- 25:01Speaker 7: me here all right, so as always on Koop Scoop
- 25:03Speaker 7: on Entertainment.
- 25:04Speaker 2: We're going to start in the theaters.
- 25:06Speaker 7: And I mean, of course, still every you know, the
- 25:09Speaker 7: main thing everybody's you know, talking about is The Odyssey,
- 25:12Speaker 7: and it's still impossible.
- 25:13Speaker 2: To get tickets too.
- 25:16Speaker 7: But I am first going to mention a new movie
- 25:20Speaker 7: out this weekend. It is called Motor City, and it
- 25:26Speaker 7: takes place in nineteen seventies Detroit, where our main character
- 25:31Speaker 7: John Miller falls for a local gangster's girl, and in retaliation,
- 25:34Speaker 7: the gangster nacts a frame job to send the innocent
- 25:37Speaker 7: man to prison. So life ruined, he plots revenge campaign
- 25:41Speaker 7: against the man who took his girl away. This stars
- 25:46Speaker 7: Alan Rixon Rickson. He's the guy from Man Now. Of
- 25:53Speaker 7: course I'm blanking on the show.
- 25:55Speaker 2: It's making me think of Snake Reacher. Reacher. He is
- 25:58Speaker 2: a Reacher.
- 25:59Speaker 1: He's the main guy. Yeah, yeah, okay, he's the Reacher guy. O.
- 26:01Speaker 2: Yes, I like him. He's I like that show.
- 26:05Speaker 7: You know, he's he's a he's a meathead, but you know,
- 26:08Speaker 7: I like, I like his style anyway, So he's he's
- 26:11Speaker 7: the main character. Shanelen Woodley, Ben Foster, and Pablo Schreiber
- 26:17Speaker 7: also star in this movie.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Scott, what's that called again?
- 26:21Speaker 2: MotorCity?
- 26:22Speaker 1: Motor City, by the way, Uh, I like what you
- 26:24Speaker 1: laid out there. But I can't help but think of
- 26:27Speaker 1: the Kiss song Detroit Rock City. Are you a fan
- 26:30Speaker 1: of that?
- 26:30Speaker 2: Coup? Sure?
- 26:32Speaker 1: Are you a fan of kiss? They're okay, They're okay,
- 26:36Speaker 1: all right, okay. I was just curious about that.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.
- 26:40Speaker 7: So moving on to television first, I'm going to bring
- 26:43Speaker 7: up a show that I overlooked. I did not mention
- 26:47Speaker 7: this on Coop Scoop Entertainment when it first came out,
- 26:49Speaker 7: but I have since discovered it and I'm enjoying it.
- 26:52Speaker 7: It is a show called Legends on Netflix. It is
- 26:57Speaker 7: a British TV show and basically it is a dramatization
- 27:03Speaker 7: of the true story of undercover British customs investigators who
- 27:07Speaker 7: infiltrated the drug world in the early nineteen nineties to
- 27:11Speaker 7: stop the flow of heroin into Great Britain. And I'm like,
- 27:18Speaker 7: I'm like, about four episodes in. I'm loving it. It's
- 27:20Speaker 7: a great show. But as always with any British TV show,
- 27:24Speaker 7: even though they are speaking English, I recommend subtitles.
- 27:30Speaker 1: He's in a bit of bad, right, that sort of thing.
- 27:33Speaker 7: You're like, what you know, It's like some of them
- 27:35Speaker 7: are are fine and you can understand it and then
- 27:38Speaker 7: like some of the Scottish people get on there and
- 27:41Speaker 7: you're like, what, Yeah.
- 27:43Speaker 1: I'm with you, Coop, because there are times where I'm like,
- 27:45Speaker 1: I'm following pretty good, and then I see the subtitles
- 27:48Speaker 1: and I'm like, I was way off. That was not
- 27:50Speaker 1: even close to what they said.
- 27:51Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not. I'm generally not a subtitles guy. I
- 27:55Speaker 7: think it kind of ruins the movie or show. Yeah,
- 27:59Speaker 7: just because I'm somebody that like when subtitles are on,
- 28:02Speaker 7: I'm reading it really fast. I'm a fast reader, and
- 28:05Speaker 7: so I finished the line before the actor says it.
- 28:09Speaker 7: And sometimes that you're spoiling like a big like reveal,
- 28:14Speaker 7: you know, you know what I mean, Like, I don't
- 28:15Speaker 7: know anyway.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Coop, I'll tell you what my pet peeve. Side note,
- 28:20Speaker 1: I hate when these movies it's not subtitles. They put
- 28:25Speaker 1: the text on the screen. Sometimes it's at the very
- 28:27Speaker 1: beginning of the movie, like this is the plot. You
- 28:30Speaker 1: need to know what's going on here, right, And they
- 28:32Speaker 1: put it up so fast. I'm like, bro, I'm not
- 28:35Speaker 1: a speedboader. Over what's the problem leaving it up like
- 28:39Speaker 1: ten more seconds? That doesn't ruin anything. I don't know
- 28:42Speaker 1: why movies do that.
- 28:44Speaker 7: I know it's it's rough. Also on television this week,
- 28:48Speaker 7: and this is this new new this week. It's available
- 28:50Speaker 7: right now. This is a new series on HBO Max.
- 28:53Speaker 7: Premiered last night. This is not up my alley, but
- 28:57Speaker 7: I know it's a lot of people. It's called Stuart
- 28:59Speaker 7: Fails to the Universe and it is a new spin
- 29:03Speaker 7: off show from The Big Bang Theory, which I was
- 29:07Speaker 7: not a fan of, but you know, a lot of
- 29:09Speaker 7: people were.
- 29:09Speaker 2: It was a very popular show.
- 29:11Speaker 1: So it's kind of like the country music of sitcoms in.
- 29:13Speaker 7: Your book right there, Yeah, it's basically it centers on
- 29:19Speaker 7: Stuart Bloom, a comic book store owner who must restore
- 29:22Speaker 7: reality after accidentally triggering a multiverse armageddon and the other
- 29:27Speaker 7: series regulars from the original show appear in guest roles
- 29:31Speaker 7: throughout this series. It's got pretty good reviews. Ten episode
- 29:35Speaker 7: stream weekly on HBO Max. Now we have another new movie.
- 29:41Speaker 7: This is a straight to TV movie or straight to streaming.
- 29:43Speaker 7: I guess it's a Netflix movie and it's called seventy
- 29:46Speaker 7: two Hours and it is based on a true story.
- 29:49Speaker 7: It is Kevin Heart's latest feature film. He plays a
- 29:54Speaker 7: married father of three who was accidentally included on an
- 29:57Speaker 7: email chain involving a group of twenty somethings played a
- 30:00Speaker 7: wild bachelor party weekend in Miami. He winds up going
- 30:03Speaker 7: on the trip. Tianna Taylor is also in this one.
- 30:07Speaker 7: Just as any Kevin Hart movie, it doesn't have great reviews.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Oh wow, there was. I don't know if it was
- 30:17Speaker 1: a Netflix movie, but it starred Kevin Hart and he
- 30:21Speaker 1: had a serious role in it, and it just didn't work.
- 30:25Speaker 1: He's a funny guy. He was serious. He wasn't cracking jokes.
- 30:29Speaker 1: It was some sort of heist. There was stealing stuff.
- 30:32Speaker 1: I don't know what this was about, like with the movie,
- 30:35Speaker 1: but he was serious in the movie. And it was
- 30:36Speaker 1: funny because I was with my last girlfriend, Eel Say,
- 30:39Speaker 1: she's from Mexico City. She didn't know Kevin Hart. I'm like,
- 30:42Speaker 1: he's actually pretty funny and she's like, he's I don't
- 30:45Speaker 1: care for this guy, and I'm like, I don't know
- 30:47Speaker 1: what it is with this role. It's just not for
- 30:49Speaker 1: him whatsoever. He's a funny guy, but he was serious
- 30:52Speaker 1: the whole time. It was so weird.
- 30:54Speaker 2: I see here lift a global heist. The thrill, that's
- 30:56Speaker 2: what it was Yeah.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Interesting, he was serious guy the whole time you watched it,
- 31:00Speaker 1: You saw it? Yeah, I saw it.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Did he do a good job in a serious role.
- 31:04Speaker 1: It just didn't spit him at all?
- 31:06Speaker 5: Like it?
- 31:06Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 31:07Speaker 7: Well, I mean yeah, but you can you cannot like
- 31:11Speaker 7: it because you're used to him in a certain way,
- 31:13Speaker 7: but still in knowledge that he did a good.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Job, right, right, But it just didn't work Okay. You
- 31:17Speaker 1: know that's the thing, Like if it was uh leem Neesen,
- 31:21Speaker 1: you know, if he just all of a sudden was
- 31:23Speaker 1: just doing stand up he had a stand up role,
- 31:26Speaker 1: and you'd be like, this is the taken guy? What
- 31:28Speaker 1: is this? And it just didn't work right?
- 31:30Speaker 2: Right? All right?
- 31:32Speaker 7: Moving on, We have another movie streaming movie on Apple TV.

- 33:21Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh my gosh, she was.
- 33:26Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, that is Coop Scoop on Entertainment.
- 33:30Speaker 1: By the way, Coop, I just have one question for you.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Do you cause you skip around quite a bit, right,
- 33:35Speaker 1: You're gonna watch this show, You're gonna watch this movie,
- 33:38Speaker 1: You're gonna backtrack to this series you started. Does it
- 33:42Speaker 1: take you a minute to just keep this stuff straight?
- 33:45Speaker 1: You know, like, you're watching I don't know, the fourth
- 33:48Speaker 1: episode of the second season and it's been a week
- 33:52Speaker 1: and a half and you're just watching and you're like, wait,
- 33:54Speaker 1: what the hell happened in the third episode? Does it
- 33:56Speaker 1: take you a second to get everything back up to
- 33:58Speaker 1: speed again?
- 34:00Speaker 7: Well, I must mention you know before I answer your question, Brian,
- 34:05Speaker 7: that Coop Scoop on Entertainment was brought to you by
- 34:08Speaker 7: ti Rack. For over forty years, Tirak has been helping
- 34:11Speaker 7: customers find the right tires for how, what and where
- 34:13Speaker 7: they drive. Ship fast and free back by free road
- 34:16Speaker 7: hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation
- 34:19Speaker 7: tyrack dot com the way tire buying should be see
- 34:21Speaker 7: I know.
- 34:22Speaker 1: That you meant to say shipped but it sounded like
- 34:24Speaker 1: you dropped an S bomb right there. I gotta be
- 34:26Speaker 1: honest with the koop. Yeah, he's getting an FCC fine right,
- 34:31Speaker 1: safe harbor.
- 34:31Speaker 2: It's all good now.
- 34:32Speaker 7: To answer your question, it is kind of a big
- 34:35Speaker 7: pet peeve of mine because you know, back in the
- 34:37Speaker 7: day TV shows they would premiere new season every year.
- 34:42Speaker 7: You know, it would end at this month and it
- 34:45Speaker 7: would begin the next season is like, you know, eight
- 34:48Speaker 7: months later whatever it was. And now these shows they
- 34:52Speaker 7: take like these two three years to create, like to
- 34:55Speaker 7: come up with the next season. And yeah, I'll start
- 34:58Speaker 7: like the new season of Silo on Apple TV just
- 35:02Speaker 7: started season three. Great show, love it, sci fi show.
- 35:05Speaker 7: It's awesome. But it's been a while and I'm watching
- 35:07Speaker 7: the first episode. I'm like, wait a minute, is who
- 35:11Speaker 7: is this? What what's happening? And I had to ask,
- 35:15Speaker 7: you know, chat gpt to to write me up a
- 35:20Speaker 7: recap of the previous seasons. But if I am starting
- 35:26Speaker 7: a show that I've never seen before that's already finished,
- 35:29Speaker 7: like where It's got, you know, all the seasons are
- 35:32Speaker 7: available to stream, I will sometimes kind of get locked
- 35:36Speaker 7: into that show and I won't venture off, except for
- 35:41Speaker 7: you know, one or two shows like like like House
- 35:45Speaker 7: of Dragon, that's every Sunday, that's appointment viewing. I watch
- 35:49Speaker 7: it every Sunday.
- 35:50Speaker 2: Gross.
- 35:50Speaker 7: But other than that, when I get into a show
- 35:53Speaker 7: that's got like five seasons, I kind of just lock
- 35:56Speaker 7: in and power through those five seasons.
- 36:00Speaker 1: Have they gotten any better with that decrepit House of
- 36:03Speaker 1: the Dragon show? The first two seasons were freaking terrible.
- 36:07Speaker 1: I'm sorry they were awful. It wasn't even good. That
- 36:10Speaker 1: wasn't just like I loved Game of Thrones. It's really
- 36:14Speaker 1: not my thing, but they did such a good job
- 36:16Speaker 1: with it. I enjoyed it, and so I didn't have
- 36:17Speaker 1: these unrealistic like it's gotta be Game of Thrones quality.
- 36:20Speaker 1: It's not even good on its own, Like, forget about
- 36:23Speaker 1: Game of Thrones. It's not good, dude, it's choppy. It's
- 36:27Speaker 1: They replaced an actress like five episodes in. It's like,
- 36:30Speaker 1: where are we doing this?
- 36:31Speaker 2: They age the age the actress.
- 36:34Speaker 1: No, they changed the actress to someone completely different. You're like, oh,
- 36:38Speaker 1: this is the same girl. Why did they do that?
- 36:41Speaker 2: They don't such know what they age the characters.
- 36:44Speaker 1: There's no point. They should have just kept the original
- 36:46Speaker 1: chick it was.
- 36:47Speaker 7: I kind of agree with you on that, but no,
- 36:49Speaker 7: it's awesome because it shows that the dragons fighting all
- 36:52Speaker 7: the time.
- 36:52Speaker 1: It's awesome they dabble in fighting. It's a horrible show. Gosh,
- 36:56Speaker 1: I hate that show. I'm glad I don't have HBO
- 36:59Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, I would know what was going on
- 37:03Speaker 1: now and I would talk trash and you would hate me.
- 37:05Speaker 1: You know, it would be good for anybody. All right,
- 37:07Speaker 1: coming up next, huge ratings that really don't mean anything.
- 37:12Speaker 1: I'll explain. I'm Brian no In for Big Ben Malor.

- 37:31Speaker 1: Big Ben Malor. Yeah. I know it's tradition to play this,
- 37:36Speaker 1: But Lorena said, before knowing that we were playing this rejoint,
- 37:40Speaker 1: she was like, what do you want to hear? I
- 37:42Speaker 1: was like choosing Texas Ella Langley. So I had played
- 37:45Speaker 1: that last night. I don't care. It's that big of
- 37:46Speaker 1: a smash hit. Goop played again, Play it again? That's
- 37:49Speaker 1: what I say. Coup hates country music. That's what we
- 37:52Speaker 1: established on this program. One thing that you got to
- 37:56Speaker 1: keep in mind's random thought here, but keep this in mind. So,
- 37:59Speaker 1: thirty nine million people watched the World Cup final on Fox,
- 38:03Speaker 1: so that made it the most watched soccer telecast in
- 38:07Speaker 1: American history. Then As also said that nearly twenty four
- 38:10Speaker 1: million more watched on Peacock and Telemundo. So if you
- 38:16Speaker 1: if you add Telemundo to the mix and Peacock, you
- 38:20Speaker 1: can sort of like doctor these numbers. And the total
- 38:23Speaker 1: US viewership was almost sixty three million, and that's more
- 38:27Speaker 1: than every NFL game last season except the Super Bowl.
- 38:31Speaker 1: So you might say, well, what does that mean? Doesn't
- 38:34Speaker 1: mean anything, means nothing. It means that we love big events,
- 38:40Speaker 1: that's what it means. It doesn't mean that we're all
- 38:42Speaker 1: of a sudden soccer fans. Are you watching the MLS
- 38:44Speaker 1: right now? Probably not? Can you tell me what Portland did? Like,
- 38:49Speaker 1: I don't know when they played yesterday? All they kicked
- 38:52Speaker 1: the ball around? Who won? No one knows? It doesn't matter,
- 38:57Speaker 1: right like we care about events. The World Cup comes
- 38:59Speaker 1: around every four years, it's a big event. It was
- 39:01Speaker 1: a great tournament. It was fantastic. I watched a lot
- 39:04Speaker 1: of it.
- 39:04Speaker 2: It was fun.
- 39:06Speaker 1: But listen, we watched Michael Phelps compete in the Olympics.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Have you ever watched any swimming meet ever? Aside from No,
- 39:14Speaker 1: we like big events. We'll watch the Summer Olympics. We'll
- 39:17Speaker 1: watch the World Cup. Doesn't mean all these ratings, that
- 39:20Speaker 1: means soccer. Oh, here to stay. No, it doesn't mean
- 39:24Speaker 1: that at all. By the way, did you guys know
- 39:26Speaker 1: that all along the Watchtower, the Hendricks version, you know
- 39:30Speaker 1: this part of it right like the you know that's
- 39:36Speaker 1: that's a remake as well. You know this is a
- 39:38Speaker 1: cover of a Bob Dylan song with ear shrieking harmonica. Listen,
- 39:45Speaker 1: it's gonna hit you. It's gonna hit you like a
- 39:47Speaker 1: bolt of lightning right here. Check this out.
- 39:53Speaker 2: Then let's just some way out of here.
- 39:56Speaker 1: How about that? How much did you learn on today's
- 39:58Speaker 1: You learned Lebron's gonna play the Miami Heat. That's obvious, right,
- 40:02Speaker 1: He's gonna play two more seasons, not gonna win a championship.
- 40:04Speaker 1: His final send off is the Summer Olympics in La
