Hour 4 - Some Glue For You · The Ben Maller Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, butter my biscuit. It's our number four. And a
0:04
Speaker 1: boom shakalaka to you. What was the mistake that finally
0:09
Speaker 1: cost Indianapolis general manager Chris Ballard his job? He was
0:14
Speaker 1: decommissioned on the last NFL news cycle. Also, should the
0:19
Speaker 1: Colts trust Peyton Manning to run their football operation? Supposedly
0:24
Speaker 1: they're reaching out to Peyton. And why is the NFL
0:27
Speaker 1: hell-bent on having the Saints and the Steelers game in
0:30
Speaker 1: Paris this weekend despite civil unrest? It's so bad they've
0:36
Speaker 1: had to close the Louvre because the animals are running
0:39
Speaker 1: around Paris. We'll talk about that and more as the
0:42
Speaker 1: NFL is like, ah, screw it, we're going to play anyway.
0:44
Speaker 1: It's all coming your way right now. Here it is,
0:46
Speaker 1: hour number four. Have a wonderful Tuesday. Some glue for you.
0:53
Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
0:58
Speaker 1: Maller Show.
0:59
Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere as we sling hot
1:06
Speaker 2: take after hot take after hot take.
1:10
Speaker 1: And play to an almost empty house, unless we don't.
1:13
Speaker 1: Coast to coast, border to border, and beyond. On the
1:17
Speaker 1: vast and hellaciously powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from
1:25
Speaker 1: the deli. We've been serving up knuckle sandwiches all night,
1:30
Speaker 1: now into the morning. Great breakfast sandwich. That knuckle sandwich
1:33
Speaker 1: in the morning. Guaranteed human from the world famous Fox
1:37
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios. Where Rob the Goatman, Bozo the District Attorney,
1:45
Speaker 1: and even Rob the Ambassador of Bakersfield all agree. With
1:50
Speaker 1: Mark from Queens. Let me tell you something. What about

2:19
Speaker 1: World Series is set, and oh, what a World Series
2:23
Speaker 1: is going to be. Your dream matchup, the Brew Crew
2:25
Speaker 1: and the Tampa Bay Rays. Woo! Brewers have home field advantage.
2:30
Speaker 1: World Series begins Friday. In Wisconsin, the 49ers held on
2:35
Speaker 1: but did not cover the old backdoor cover for the Commanders.
2:37
Speaker 1: If you're a gambling person, you know what I'm talking about.
2:40
Speaker 1: As Washington was getting polaxed by the 49ers most of
2:44
Speaker 1: the game, and then at least the first half, and
2:46
Speaker 1: then the second half, the Niners decided, let's make it
2:50
Speaker 1: somewhat competitive for TV. And that's exactly what happened. Now,
2:53
Speaker 1: our lead this hour is not from one of those games. Instead,
2:58
Speaker 1: it's from Indianapolis, where the Colts have said bye-bye to
3:03
Speaker 1: general manager Chris Ballard, the Ballard of the ball, no more.
3:08
Speaker 1: Ending a nearly decade-long run of futility after a mind-boggling
3:16
Speaker 1: 26-20 loss to the previously winless Tennessee Titans and Cam Ward,
3:23
Speaker 1: famous for saying, we ass, And it's appropriate that in
3:27
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard's last game as general manager of the Colts,
3:32
Speaker 1: he was serenaded with FIRE BALLARD! So if you didn't
3:38
Speaker 1: see it, it has happened. Indianapolis blew a 13-0 halftime
3:41
Speaker 1: lead against Tennessee, which had been 0-5 on the year.
3:45
Speaker 1: So the Colts dropped to 2-4 since 2017. Ballard has
3:53
Speaker 1: a 474 winning percentage of the teams that he has
3:54
Speaker 1: put together this in Indianapolis with just two playoff appearances
4:00
Speaker 1: and one postseason win. And the single greatest choke job
4:05
Speaker 1: in NFL history, a Colt-Viking game, I believe it was
4:08
Speaker 1: a Saturday afternoon, and the Colts gagged up a 33-point lead,
4:14
Speaker 1: I believe it was. A 33-point lead, I believe that's correct,
4:18
Speaker 1: in that game. Now, owner Carly Ursae Gordon, she's the
4:22
Speaker 1: woman that walks around the sidelines that upsets everyone. She declared, quote,
4:25
Speaker 1: our standard is to compete for championships, demanding new leadership immediately.
4:32
Speaker 1: So there's an interim GM in Indianapolis, and Ballard never
4:38
Speaker 1: solved the quarterback position. After Andrew Luck quit right before
4:43
Speaker 1: the season, just couldn't handle it, quit before the 2019
4:45
Speaker 1: season started, They have cycled through veterans. They have cycled
4:51
Speaker 1: through draft picks. They even gambled on that turd Anthony
4:54
Speaker 1: Richardson who can't play. And none of them got the
4:58
Speaker 1: job done. So that is a good jumping off point.
5:02
Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question. What was the ultimate mistake
5:07
Speaker 1: that finally cost Indianapolis GM Chris Ballard his job? So
5:12
Speaker 1: I've got mystery meat. Yelp Reviews, and Wooly Mammoth. And
5:17
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together. We're going
5:20
Speaker 1: to have some matzo ball soup, the jambalaya for Ben Jamin.
5:23
Speaker 1: We've got to have the gabagool and always popular peanut
5:29
Speaker 1: butter and jelly. We'll have that as well. So jambalaya,
5:32
Speaker 1: baba ghanoush, the gabagool, the matzo ball, the peanut butter
5:35
Speaker 1: and jelly. So the thing that did in Chris Ballard
5:41
Speaker 1: is not Anthony Richardson. Anthony Richardson stinks, should not have
5:45
Speaker 1: been drafted where he was. He's a developmental player. The draft,
5:49
Speaker 1: he should have been picked maybe day three of the draft.
5:51
Speaker 1: So bad job by the Colts on that. Everyone knew it.
5:54
Speaker 1: They knew it. Jim Irsay was alive then. He must
5:57
Speaker 1: have been on a bender or something like that. And
5:59
Speaker 1: he thought, well, let's get our quarterback. We like this guy,
6:01
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson. Richardson, though, did not cost Chris Ballard his job.
6:05
Speaker 1: What cost Chris Ballard, the GM in Indianapolis, his job
6:10
Speaker 1: is vanilla. I'm not talking about slowly churned French vanilla.
6:15
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that. What I'm talking about is vanilla.
6:19
Speaker 1: That is what cost him his job. Daniel Jones, since
6:24
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck retired, Indianapolis has operated like a speed dating
6:29
Speaker 1: operation for quarterbacks. Come on in, play a couple of games.
6:32
Speaker 1: Maybe you play a season. That's it. Whether you're Gardner
6:35
Speaker 1: Minshew or all the other stiffs that have been through there.
6:39
Speaker 1: Now the final body blow, body blow, body blow was
6:43
Speaker 1: absolutely betting the farm on Daniel Jones. We tried to
6:48
Speaker 1: tell you, You didn't listen. Bad job by us. We
6:50
Speaker 1: give nightly sermons for absolutely nothing, and you didn't listen.
6:55
Speaker 1: It's a bad job by you. So Daniel Jones played
6:58
Speaker 1: okay to good for three or four games. He then
7:02
Speaker 1: started to play poorly for the Indianapolis football team. He
7:07
Speaker 1: started to struggle. And then he got hurt. So what
7:11
Speaker 1: did the Colts do? The Colts said, oh, man, we
7:13
Speaker 1: dodged one. Let's move on, find someone else. They said, no, no, no, no.
7:18
Speaker 1: This is our guy. This is our quarterback. We love him.
7:22
Speaker 1: And they kept him, even though he got hurt. The
7:24
Speaker 1: Colts rewarded Daniel Jones with $ 88 million. $ 88 million extension.
7:32
Speaker 1: Jones currently ranks 28th in the NFL, which I'm told
7:35
Speaker 1: is not good. Oh, you're being mean, Maller.
7:39
Speaker 3: I know.
7:40
Speaker 1: Danny Dimes.
7:42
Speaker 4: Whew.
7:43
Speaker 1: That's through week seven of the NFL season there. He's
7:47
Speaker 1: not good. Not good at all. Barely ahead of the
7:51
Speaker 1: much-maligned Justin Herbert and Malik Willis of your Miami Dolphins.
7:58
Speaker 1: Those are the neighbors of the quarterback there in Indianapolis,
8:04
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, bottom feeders. Now, the Colts have been, with
8:07
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard, a spam franchise. Processed Football product. You open
8:15
Speaker 1: the can, and it's the same mystery meat every Sunday.
8:21
Speaker 1: Ballard promised championship contention. Talked a good game. He's a
8:25
Speaker 1: good soundbite, Chris Ballard. Good soundbite. However, the reality of
8:30
Speaker 1: the situation, a almost decade of mediocrity meadows. It's a
8:36
Speaker 1: little retirement community called Mediocrity Meadows. The Colts finally sent
8:41
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard to the glue factory. And it turns out,
8:45
Speaker 1: it is interesting to note, that Daniel Jones was the horse,
8:49
Speaker 1: of course, that finally pulled the wagon out. And into
8:53
Speaker 1: the glue factory. Shane Steichen, who is three games under. 500,
8:57
Speaker 1: remaining as the head coach. Could you get any more
8:59
Speaker 1: lame than that? Lame duck, Shane Steichen. He survived the
9:04
Speaker 1: purge for now. He'll likely be let go at the
9:08
Speaker 1: end of the season. If not sooner, if you look
9:12
Speaker 1: at the booth review, the expedited booth review, you can
9:16
Speaker 1: see that right now the coach, Shane Steichen, standing on
9:20
Speaker 1: top of a trap door. And the rope already is fraying.
9:26
Speaker 1: It's not good. Here's Shane Steichen commenting on the state
9:30
Speaker 1: of the Colts, the changes, the new GM, the whole thing.
9:34
Speaker 5: I got a ton of respect for Chris. He worked
9:37
Speaker 5: tirelessly for this organization, for this city.
9:39
Speaker 1: And it's just part of the business.
9:41
Speaker 5: You know, I don't think it falls completely on Chris.
9:44
Speaker 5: It takes all of us, coaches, scouts, everybody, and we
9:47
Speaker 5: got to put our best foot forward.
9:50
Speaker 1: Oh, he worked hard. Okay, wasn't that expected? You don't
9:52
Speaker 1: get credit for that, dummy. It blows my mind. I
9:56
Speaker 1: was like, well, no, that's part of the game. You're
9:58
Speaker 1: supposed to work hard. Get paid a lot of money
10:01
Speaker 1: to do an easy job. These are easy jobs these
10:03
Speaker 1: people have. They make it seem like it's hard. Nobody
10:06
Speaker 1: loves to brag how hard they work more than NFL people. Oh,
10:09
Speaker 1: he sleeps in the office. He's there. First one in,
10:11
Speaker 1: last one out. They love that. No one ever brings
10:14
Speaker 1: up the fact a lot of these guys hate their families.
10:15
Speaker 1: That's why they're there all the time. All right, anyway, secondly,
10:18
Speaker 1: to the... The bigger picture here. We stay with the Colts.
10:22
Speaker 1: The bigger picture. Big shakeup there. So the Colts, who
10:25
Speaker 1: have been a spam franchise, they've been a mystery meat franchise.
10:29
Speaker 1: We all know that. Then the report, which actually originated
10:33
Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio, that the Colts are contemplating
10:37
Speaker 1: their next general manager as Peyton Manning. You know the
10:41
Speaker 1: guy that does commercials on TV? Yeah, they want that guy.
10:43
Speaker 1: I guess he used to play football. They want Peyton
10:45
Speaker 1: Manning to be the next GM. And he's going to
10:49
Speaker 1: be involved in the front office and potentially as a
10:51
Speaker 1: general manager and following Chris Ballard's decommissioning. Now, Dan Patrick,
10:57
Speaker 1: who knows a couple of people, I guess, gets paid
11:00
Speaker 1: a lot of that daytime radio money. And Dan Patrick
11:05
Speaker 1: saying that Peyton Manning will be in contact with the
11:09
Speaker 1: Colts owner, Carly Ursae Gordon. The first call she's going
11:13
Speaker 1: to make is to Peyton Manning. And then Peyton's going
11:15
Speaker 1: to try to sell her some chicken wings or some
11:18
Speaker 1: insurance or whatever crap he's selling for advice on the GM,
11:23
Speaker 1: possibly giving Peyton Manning the general manager job. Now, the story,
11:28
Speaker 1: which is next level ridiculous, is that Indianapolis is trying
11:32
Speaker 1: to follow the blueprint Atlanta had with Matt Ryan. Am
11:39
Speaker 1: I missing something? Are the Falcons a good team? I
11:44
Speaker 1: must have missed that. Maybe it happened while I was away.
11:47
Speaker 1: I don't recall that, but apparently they're a good team.
11:49
Speaker 1: Who knew? following the blueprint of Matt Ryan. Do you
11:54
Speaker 1: know these former quarterbacks who have become executives all suck?
11:57
Speaker 1: Have you seen the Raiders? By the way, all those
11:59
Speaker 1: Raider fans that were busting my ball, where are those
12:01
Speaker 1: guys at? Hey, Raider fan! Hey, where you at? Okay,
12:05
Speaker 1: they're in hiding. I got it. Okay, well, the Raiders
12:08
Speaker 1: have returned to being the Raiders, as we knew they would.
12:11
Speaker 1: Some of you idiots did not, but that's a different conversation.
12:13
Speaker 1: But Tom Brady's done a terrible job with the Raiders.
12:15
Speaker 1: Nobody will disagree on that. And Matt Ryan....
12:23
Speaker 4: Atlanta.
12:24
Speaker 1: Not a good team. Just lost to the Bears over
12:26
Speaker 1: the weekend. So anyway, you look at all that, it's
12:30
Speaker 1: just ridiculous. So here's the deal. You've got Manning making
12:34
Speaker 1: money hand over fist. He's in bed with ESPN. They're
12:37
Speaker 1: basically giving him part of Disney, Omaha, whatever that crappy
12:40
Speaker 1: thing he's got. They're all doing well. So the question,
12:44
Speaker 1: should the Colts, let's assume in the multiverse that this
12:47
Speaker 1: goes down that road, should the Colts trust Peyton Manning
12:52
Speaker 1: to run the football ops department? Is this a move
12:56
Speaker 1: that would be a positive? Because a lot of the rules,
12:58
Speaker 1: everyone loves Peyton Manning apparently. I didn't get in that line.
13:02
Speaker 1: A lot of y'all love Peyton Manning. So should the
13:05
Speaker 1: Colts trust Peyton Manning to run their football ops? On
13:09
Speaker 1: this one, I'm giving this some bug eye. When you
13:13
Speaker 1: bring in Peyton Manning, You're bringing in the name. You're
13:17
Speaker 1: bringing in the brand of celebrity. We always know celebrities
13:22
Speaker 1: are the greatest at these jobs. But where's the evidence
13:26
Speaker 1: that Peyton Manning knows how to put a good team
13:29
Speaker 1: out there? Michael Jordan was a great basketball player. Terrible executive, right?
13:33
Speaker 1: Go down. Magic Johnson, the worst of the worst. And
13:37
Speaker 1: so all those basketball players, there's not a long laundry
13:41
Speaker 1: list of football players that have been any better here.
13:45
Speaker 1: So being a star quarterback does not, it's going to
13:48
Speaker 1: blow you away, does not mean that you know how
13:51
Speaker 1: to pick the groceries. Two entirely different skill sets. Two
13:54
Speaker 1: entirely different occupations. If you look up the Yelp reviews,
13:59
Speaker 1: we keep receipts on these things. If you look up
14:01
Speaker 1: the Yelp reviews, Peyton Manning's endorsements carry everything. What rating?
14:06
Speaker 1: That would be a one-star rating. A one-star rating. Manning
14:10
Speaker 1: is the guy who recommends the French Bistro, and you
14:14
Speaker 1: go down to the French Bistro, and you're like, I
14:16
Speaker 1: want some French bread. Okay, they have that at the Bistro.
14:18
Speaker 3: Good.
14:19
Speaker 1: I want some crepes. Okay, they have some of that, too.
14:22
Speaker 1: But you walk in, and the cockroaches are wearing little
14:27
Speaker 1: chef hats. But Peyton said, this is the top French Bistro. Okay,
14:32
Speaker 1: enjoy that. Remember, Peyton Manning's the guy who sold the Jets' owner.
14:37
Speaker 1: The Johnson & Johnson group, Woody Johnson, the legend is
14:41
Speaker 1: that Peyton Manning, his endorsement of Adam Gase, better known
14:45
Speaker 1: as Crazy Eyes, helped Adam Gase get the job. It's
14:49
Speaker 1: kind of like recommending a surgeon, right? You go to
14:55
Speaker 1: the surgeon, and the surgeon's really, really nice, really good surgeon,
14:59
Speaker 1: nice person, big personality. And you go in there and say, great, okay.
15:02
Speaker 1: And then you realize, well, wait a minute. The surgeon,
15:06
Speaker 1: he operates with a white plastic butter knife. Well, that
15:09
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a good surgeon to me. Why would
15:12
Speaker 1: you want to go to that surgeon? That doesn't make
15:14
Speaker 1: any sense. Adam Gase, that was a Peyton Manning endorsement.
15:19
Speaker 1: That's almost as bad as Aaron Rodgers and his Hackett
15:23
Speaker 1: endorsement from the Jets as well. Seems like the Jets
15:28
Speaker 1: can't make a decision on their own. They have to
15:29
Speaker 1: get advice from other people. Hasn't gone very well. Then
15:33
Speaker 1: the other endorsement, Peyton Manning for the Colts endorsed Matty
15:38
Speaker 1: Ice as a player. Which is fine, except for the
15:41
Speaker 1: small detail that Manning was a washed-up whale in Indianapolis.
15:48
Speaker 1: And they tried to pass him off as some kind
15:50
Speaker 1: of great white shark. No, no, no. There she blows,
15:53
Speaker 1: is what they said. So that's what you got there.
15:56
Speaker 1: And the Colts, last I checked, they do not need...
16:01
Speaker 1: A celebrity. They don't need a celebrity. They need someone
16:03
Speaker 1: who can identify a left tackle without consulting a Ouija board.
16:09
Speaker 1: That would be nice. Final thought. To Paris we go!
16:14
Speaker 1: To Paris, where the NFL, the Saints, I believe, have
16:17
Speaker 1: already arrived. The NFL moving forward with more outsourcing of
16:22
Speaker 1: the NFL product, barnstorming. trying to get into the pockets
16:26
Speaker 1: of people around the world and take their money, just
16:28
Speaker 1: like they've suckered us Americans. The NFL in France, the
16:34
Speaker 1: NFL moving forward Sunday, Saints-Steelers. I'll be sleeping right through
16:39
Speaker 1: that game in Paris, despite, if you've not been paying attention,
16:42
Speaker 1: widespread protests, riots, anarchy in the streets, and some real
16:48
Speaker 1: lunatics running around France right now, destroying that country. The
16:52
Speaker 1: anarchists that are just small demonstrators.
16:56
Speaker 4: That's it.
16:56
Speaker 1: They're just anarchists. And he's just causing trouble. Burning, looting,
17:02
Speaker 1: and pillaging parts of France right now. Parts of Paris
17:05
Speaker 1: in particular. So the league released a statement, the NFL
17:09
Speaker 1: insisting that preparations remain on schedule, no disruptions reported at
17:16
Speaker 1: NFL facilities. The NFL says it continues to work closely
17:21
Speaker 1: with French authorities. What exactly are those French authorities doing,
17:24
Speaker 1: by the way? And security partners to ensure safe operations.
17:29
Speaker 1: A very heavily vetted statement released by the NFL. The
17:34
Speaker 1: NFL's first ever matchup, first ever regular season game in France.
17:40
Speaker 1: And this is a big part of the global initiative
17:43
Speaker 1: of the NFL to take over the world! So they
17:46
Speaker 1: have to have this game. It'll be 9.30 Eastern on
17:49
Speaker 1: Sunday on the state-sponsored Probde News Service of the NFL,
17:53
Speaker 1: the NFL Network. So the question, why is the NFL hell-bent...
17:59
Speaker 1: on having the Steelers-Saints game in Paris this weekend, despite
18:04
Speaker 1: the civil unrest, video after video popping up of people
18:09
Speaker 1: burning and pillaging and doing all that stuff all over
18:13
Speaker 1: parts of Paris. So that's the question. The answer, though,
18:17
Speaker 1: Paris is in, parts of it have been in, complete
18:20
Speaker 1: civil unrest for several days. In fact, it's so bad.
18:24
Speaker 1: How bad is it? The Louvre, the most famous museum
18:28
Speaker 1: in the world, the Louvre had to shut its doors
18:31
Speaker 1: because of the animals running around the streets. They had
18:34
Speaker 1: to shut their doors. And so the NFL's official response
18:37
Speaker 1: is basically, hey, have you considered one of our luxury
18:42
Speaker 1: hospitality packages for this weekend? That's their response. Now, Napoleon,
18:49
Speaker 1: I read in a book when I was in school
18:51
Speaker 1: back in the day, that Napoleon had a similar issue
18:55
Speaker 1: with knowing when to retreat. So I look at Roger
18:59
Speaker 1: the Dodger Goodell. Roger Goodell has never met a public
19:03
Speaker 1: safety crisis that could not be solved by a lucrative
19:08
Speaker 1: TV contract. You know what I'm saying on that? The
19:12
Speaker 1: league spent the money, a fair amount of money, logistically,
19:17
Speaker 1: They booked all the hotels. They sold ticket packages. They
19:22
Speaker 1: essentially bought, at Jurassic Park, they bought a woolly mammoth.
19:28
Speaker 1: And they're like, okay, we bought the woolly mammoth. And
19:30
Speaker 1: now they're trying to figure out where they can park
19:34
Speaker 1: the woolly mammoth in the Riot Zone. So they want
19:38
Speaker 1: to play this game no matter what, because it's the
19:41
Speaker 1: first game in France. And so the stadium, I am told,
19:43
Speaker 1: is a little bit outside of Paris. I've never been
19:46
Speaker 1: to France, so I'm not sure about how far. I
19:49
Speaker 1: don't think they're playing at a Chateau so it's a
19:52
Speaker 1: little outside the city but I'm sure the people that
19:54
Speaker 1: are trying to destroy Paris they're not going to go
19:57
Speaker 1: out to the stadium because it's in the suburbs no
19:59
Speaker 1: they would never do that never ever ever It's crazy. Anyway,
20:06
Speaker 1: the other point here, the NFL, it's kind of like
20:09
Speaker 1: the analogy would be, it's like a groom that discovers
20:13
Speaker 1: his bride, about to get married, discovers his bride has
20:17
Speaker 1: not one, not two, but three warrants, felony warrants, finds
20:21
Speaker 1: out about an hour before they go to the altar.
20:26
Speaker 1: And the catering's all been paid for, the cake, everything.
20:32
Speaker 1: And the guy's like, I know this person has three felonies,
20:35
Speaker 1: but we're getting married. We're going on with the ceremony
20:37
Speaker 1: and that's it. And the NFL, they're treating Paris like
20:41
Speaker 1: it's a timeshare, a leaking pipe and a timeshare. They
20:46
Speaker 1: refuse to leave. It's flooding and all that. And they're like,
20:49
Speaker 1: we are determined to play this game no matter what.
20:53
Speaker 1: And we're going to defend our honor. We're going to
20:56
Speaker 1: prove that we can play this game and all this stuff.
20:59
Speaker 1: And the NFL's cash register is, is an essential government service, apparently.
21:05
Speaker 1: It is the Ben Maller Show. If you would like

22:46
Speaker 1: to Mexico City.
22:49
Speaker 4: I know.
22:50
Speaker 1: It's very shocking. And there's nothing you want to see

Speaker 1: more than photos of that trip. A jam-packed weekend. I
22:59
Speaker 1: thank the kind people of Mexico City for their hospitality.
23:02
Speaker 1: But there's some photos up right now. I watched some
23:05
Speaker 1: Mexican wrestling. I grew up a huge fan of professional wrestling.
23:10
Speaker 1: And then I got to a certain age and stopped watching.
23:12
Speaker 1: But I enjoyed it. I had a great time. There's
23:14
Speaker 1: some photos there. I'll post some more photos today. I
23:16
Speaker 1: got a bunch of photos. So maybe another drop. Tomorrow,

23:52
Speaker 1: do things? Yeah, we do celebrate a whole month these days.
23:54
Speaker 3: You women.
23:54
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't. Anyway, Lorena, it's her birthday month, so
23:58
Speaker 1: say hello to her, FSR Tech Queen, and Koopa Loop
24:01
Speaker 1: at a Bronco fan, a Bronco fan. Your comments can
24:06
Speaker 1: and will be used against you in the court of
24:10
Speaker 1: sports radio, so please act I saw that Aaron Rodgers
24:16
Speaker 1: is up to his old trick. He's using his power
24:19
Speaker 1: to bring in his pals. And the Steelers adding a
24:25
Speaker 1: confidant of Aaron Rodgers, part of the Packer past of
24:32
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, landing in Pittsburgh. The man's so good, he's
24:37
Speaker 1: got three names. This is a serendipitous moment. I was
24:40
Speaker 1: having a conversation with I think it was last week
24:44
Speaker 1: with our friend, my buddy Bob, who does the morning show,
24:48
Speaker 1: Fesco in the morning there in Kansas City, and this
24:51
Speaker 1: guy's name came up, and Marquez Valdez Scantling, I believe
24:56
Speaker 1: his name came up, and he is now going to
24:57
Speaker 1: join the Steelers, which is great if he could still play.
25:03
Speaker 1: Probably not, but his buddy Aaron Rodgers, and so that's
25:07
Speaker 1: where he ends up. Let's go to the phones. We'll
25:09
Speaker 1: take your calls. Also on X, at Ben Maller, Kevin Tomic,
25:13
Speaker 1: who's listening in Alaska, says, I was just thinking the
25:17
Speaker 1: whole point of the protest, draw as much attention as
25:20
Speaker 1: they can. Where in Paris might that happen this Sunday,
25:23
Speaker 1: say around 9.30, 8.30 Eastern time? Well, yeah. There you go.
25:27
Speaker 1: Late Night Drug Tester says, just curious how many excited
25:30
Speaker 1: Steeler or Saints fans are going to Paris to also
25:34
Speaker 1: see Notre Dame and then be sad when they find
25:40
Speaker 1: out it's only a church out there. I hear you. Well,
25:45
Speaker 1: the thing with these trips, I know talking to Eddie,
25:48
Speaker 1: who's married to a Chargers superfan, our old pal Eddie
25:51
Speaker 1: used to work on the show. These things are done
25:54
Speaker 1: long in advance. You don't just all of a sudden
25:56
Speaker 1: wake up on a On a Tuesday and say, hey,
25:59
Speaker 1: why don't we go to Paris this weekend and see
26:01
Speaker 1: the NFL game? That seems like a good idea. Sure.
26:04
Speaker 1: Why not? Alf, the alienal pioneer, says, I don't know
26:08
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, Maller. I know a peaceful protest
26:11
Speaker 1: when I see it. Yes, exactly. Anyway, let's go to
26:14
Speaker 1: the phones. Let's say hello to Mike the Leprechaun, who's
26:19
Speaker 1: in the Boston area, a fan favorite or a Not
26:22
Speaker 1: a fan favorite, depending on which side of the aisle
26:24
Speaker 1: you're on. Very controversial. What's going on there, Mike the Leprechaun?
26:30
Speaker 3: Welcome back from Mexico, Ben. Welcome back.
26:33
Speaker 1: Thank you.
26:34
Speaker 4: You were missed.
26:36
Speaker 1: That's good to be missed. I appreciate that. Although I
26:39
Speaker 1: do know, from having been whacked by the company before,
26:43
Speaker 1: that they'll get rid of me again, and there'll be
26:45
Speaker 1: somebody else in here, and you all will say how
26:46
Speaker 1: great that person is. So I know how that works.
26:49
Speaker 3: Ben, we're all disposable. Don't worry.
26:51
Speaker 1: That is true. If you don't believe that, go by
26:53
Speaker 1: any cemetery, and every graveyard filled with people that were unreplaceable.
27:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, all those graveyards are the dead center of town.
27:04
Speaker 1: Are you doing dad jokes? Jokes are not till the
27:07
Speaker 1: end of the week, dude.
27:07
Speaker 3: I snuck one in. Did you hear about a movie,
27:11
Speaker 3: a new movie that came out about constipation? It hasn't
27:16
Speaker 3: come out yet. Venus Williams.
27:20
Speaker 1: We're doing open mic night at Chuckles Comedy Club. Do

Speaker 1: I have to give out the number here? Is that
27:25
Speaker 1: what you want me to do? Give out the number?
27:26

27:29
Speaker 1: he's going to read a script.

27:30
Speaker 1: Lorena's taking a shot at you right there.
27:32

27:59
Speaker 1: you want it, I'll do a shout-out. I'm on there.
28:01
Speaker 1: Check that out. Hey, did anyone see this clip of
28:04
Speaker 1: Joe Buck and Troy Aikman? People saying Aikman looked angry.
28:07
Speaker 1: He looks the same to me. He always kind of
28:09
Speaker 1: looks angry. They think he's upset with Joe, but you
28:12
Speaker 1: see this at all, Mike, the leopard? You weren't watching
28:14
Speaker 1: that game.
28:15

28:18
Speaker 1: I did. What the hell? I don't think you did.
28:22
Speaker 3: I watched the game last night.
28:24
Speaker 1: Did he look that much more angry? He always kind
28:26
Speaker 1: of looks that way to me. Aikman always looks a little...
28:29
Speaker 1: He's got that... You know how sometimes they'll say women

29:51
Speaker 1: It's fun to pile on the leprechaun. It's fun to

Speaker 1: goof on him.
29:54
Speaker 4: I know he's a leprechaun and stuff and lucky charms.
29:58
Speaker 4: The leprechauns should know that they've reopened Rodney Dangerfield in
30:02
Speaker 4: Manhattan if he wants to come back.
30:03
Speaker 1: No, they didn't. No, they didn't. Yeah.
30:06
Speaker 3: No, they didn't.
30:07
Speaker 1: Are you making that up? I saw they have a

Speaker 1: free coffee shop in Manhattan. No one's paying for the coffee.
30:12
Speaker 1: So go get your free coffee there in Manhattan.
30:15
Speaker 4: Free coffee shop. Listen.
30:18
Speaker 3: What?
30:19
Speaker 5: He did.
30:19
Speaker 1: I'm serious. There's like a free coffee shop.
30:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of places. There's people that do
30:25
Speaker 4: their Christmas shopping early, too, and they rob the joint.
30:28
Speaker 4: But the thing with the leprechaun, they should know that.
30:31
Speaker 4: Rodney Dangerfield is open, and you could go there.
30:34
Speaker 1: What are we doing? You know, I was in an elevator.
30:37
Speaker 1: Talk about old guy radio. Rodney Dangerfield was a famous
30:40
Speaker 1: comedian a million years ago. I was in an elevator
30:43
Speaker 1: with Rodney Dangerfield in Burbank years ago. Obviously, he's been
30:48
Speaker 1: dead for a while. And I was going to the
30:51
Speaker 1: eighth floor. He was going a little higher up in
30:54
Speaker 1: the building. It was one of the office towers. And
30:56
Speaker 1: I never said it. I'm such an introvert. I could
31:00
Speaker 1: have said something, Rodney Danger. I never did. It's a
31:02
Speaker 1: bad job by me, right? I had a chance, Steve,
31:05
Speaker 1: to say something to Rodney, a famous comedian, Rodney Dangerfield.
31:08
Speaker 1: I never did.
31:10
Speaker 4: Well, the flip side of that is you're a big star, too.
31:12
Speaker 4: And you're not a groupie. I'm the same way. I'm
31:15
Speaker 4: going to tell you, I was at a tennis match
31:16
Speaker 4: one time. This is no BS, folks. There were three
31:21
Speaker 4: Rodney Dangerfield lookalikes in our section, and those guys all
31:27
Speaker 4: knew they looked like Rodney Dangerfield. So listen, if you
31:30
Speaker 4: look at this, I'm not starstruck. There are celebrities, and
31:33
Speaker 4: I also notice them all the time, but I'm not starstruck.
31:37
Speaker 1: Well, I don't notice them, actually. I don't know who
31:38
Speaker 1: most of these people are. People that are famous now,
31:41
Speaker 1: I don't know. If you're a TikTok star, I have
31:43
Speaker 1: no idea who you are.
31:44
Speaker 4: Zero different come on everybody's a star now today.
31:47
Speaker 1: No but everyone's a star but nobody's a star you
31:50
Speaker 1: know it's one of those weird things everyone's famous on
31:53
Speaker 1: social media or whatever because you got a bunch of
31:55
Speaker 1: bots following you but there's like there's really no like
31:59
Speaker 1: the next wave of super who are the next like
32:02
Speaker 1: who's mr beast is that the younger star i guess
32:06
Speaker 1: i don't know.
32:08
Speaker 4: Listen, if you can get a million people to watch
32:11
Speaker 4: you do your act, it's like having a contest of
32:13
Speaker 4: who could be the stupidest. But I was excellent at
32:16
Speaker 4: picking out celebrities. I was at a concert one time.
32:19
Speaker 1: Now you're bragging. See, now you're just bragging, Steve. You're
32:21
Speaker 1: just bragging. No, I'm not. You're bragging.
32:23
Speaker 4: What do people.
32:24
Speaker 1: Say that for? Because you're bragging. That's what people say.
32:27
Speaker 1: You're bragging. You're a braggart. You're a braggart.
32:31
Speaker 4: Well, anyway, it's thrown into mission. So I tell my friend, listen.
32:36
Speaker 4: Do not turn around and don't make any gestures. But
32:39
Speaker 4: about 10 rows behind us is Don Mattingly and his wife.
32:45
Speaker 1: Oh, Donnie Baseball.
32:47
Speaker 4: My friend's like 6'3, turns around. Whoa, it's Don Mattingly
32:52
Speaker 4: over there and everything. I said, come on now, man.
32:55
Speaker 4: And they had to carry his wife out of there first.
32:57
Speaker 4: I think she liked the sauce. But anyway, getting back
33:02
Speaker 4: to starting pitchers and everything.
33:04
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know. I don't think we ever talked
33:06
Speaker 1: about starting pitchers. I feel like you're just bouncing around.
33:09
Speaker 4: I did earlier in the show you were talking about.
33:10
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, in the show, but not with you. I
33:13
Speaker 1: didn't mention it. Are you excited for the Rays and
33:17
Speaker 1: the Brewers counting down until Friday? So excited I have
33:22
Speaker 1: plans on Friday. I will probably watch on my phone.
33:24
Speaker 1: That's how excited I am.
33:26
Speaker 4: Well, you can watch the highlights, but the thing is,
33:28
Speaker 4: both teams have been in the World Series before. Both
33:31
Speaker 4: teams have lost, so we're going to have a first-time
33:33
Speaker 4: World Series winner.
33:34
Speaker 1: First time since 1980 that that will be the case.
33:37
Speaker 1: We're guaranteed of having a first-time World Series winner. So
33:40
Speaker 1: we have a football team with a phlegm problem, Dateline. Dateline, Dateline,
33:46
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, New York, where the Buffalo Bills big mouth C.J.
33:51
Speaker 1: Gardner-Johnson can't keep his phlegm to himself. He spit a
33:56
Speaker 1: big juicy loogie right at tight end Brock Bowers of
34:00
Speaker 1: the Raiders in Buffalo's win, and he has been... He
34:05
Speaker 1: was ejected from the game, and he's now been suspended
34:08
Speaker 1: for a game-pending review. Joe Brady, who's the head coach
34:13
Speaker 1: of the Bills there, don't need to learn his name.
34:14
Speaker 1: He won't be there long. Condemning C.J. Gardner-Johnson, saying, that
34:19
Speaker 1: can't happen on the football field. Where exactly can that happen?
34:24
Speaker 1: I think there's only one profession, which I don't know
34:26
Speaker 1: that I want to go down that road at this point,
34:28
Speaker 1: where that is allowed, and it's not football. Yeah, it's not. Baseball.
34:34
Speaker 1: Baseball players used to spit all the time. I don't
34:35
Speaker 1: think they spit as much as they used to. Back
34:37
Speaker 1: in the day, that was the thing. Oh, you got
34:39
Speaker 1: to give them that huck, too, and spit on that thing.
34:42
Speaker 1: That might be the only profession where that's encouraged. I'm
34:45
Speaker 1: just saying. I'm just saying. So the incident happened about 14,
34:47
Speaker 1: I think exactly 14 seconds remaining before halftime. He got ejected.
34:53
Speaker 1: One game suspension. He apologized on Instagram. I'm sure that
34:59
Speaker 1: was organic. C.J. Gardner-Johnson not forced at all. Not forced
35:04
Speaker 1: at all. So Buffalo's on their bye week in week seven.
35:08
Speaker 1: So that means that Gardner-Johnson will miss the game against
35:11
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I know you're very concerned about that. doing
35:14
