  Speaker 1: The head coach in Jerry's World, Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: who could have seen this one coming, being called out
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: for his coaching ability. Is this inbounds or out of bounds?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We will not mince our words on this one. Also,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: what is your perspective on the outrage over 49er owner
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Jed York and Giants owner Steve Tisch attending the owners' meetings,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: both of them in the taboo parts of the world? Also,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Blake Griffin is grumbling the Lob City Clippers have not
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: been honored by the team. Where are you at on
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: this one? I guess Blake wants cake and some balloons
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: for failing to win as the Lob City Clippers. That's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a choice. We'll talk about all of this and more.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: We'll go zippity-doo-dah, zippity-day. Here's our number three.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Not easy.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: It is not easy being a cowboy. It certainly isn't
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: easy being a coach of the Cowboys. Welcome in the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: beginning of another hour of the Ben Maller Show. We
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: are in the air everywhere. Fellow travelers in the audio world.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I know. I know. We paint you with the same brush.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: That's what we do. We're all the same here. Coast
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to coast, border to border, and beyond, on the vast
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and wicked, powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the room,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the locker room, to the living room. That's right. Guaranteed
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: human from the world-famous Fox Sports Radio studios where legends
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: like Greg, the real estate mogul from Baltimore, Kev Atomic
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: in Alaska, Jerry in a jar. They all agree that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the Ben Maler show is an express ride, but it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: really about express employment professionals, workforce challenges, slowing down your business.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Express employment professionals provide workforce solutions to help reduce turnover,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: find qualified talent, navigate compliance, and build the right size workforce.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: With more than 850 locations, we're told that's a lot,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Express is ready to help. Visit ExpressPros.com. That's ExpressPros.com. A
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: lead story this hour out of Dallas. The Cowboys are bad.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: That's not a surprise. They've been pretty mediocre for a while. Well,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer getting called out for, among other things,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: his shawty play calling, fourth down decision making, time out usage,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and just overall team preparation. Other than that, he's doing
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a hell of a job. So I don't know if
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: you heard about this. Maybe not. So some of the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Dallas media, which typically are just fanboys for Jerry Jones,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: have turned on Brian Schottenheimer. Say what? Yes. Calling Schottenheimer
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: out as a liability rather than an asset coaching the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys are off to a 2-4 start. the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: same record as the Rams. What are you upset about?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: The Rams are the greatest team of all time. You
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: all told me that. And the Rams are 2-4 and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys are 2-4. And the Cowboys have been mid
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: pretty much across the board. They're much worse than mid defensively.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the question. You got Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer getting put
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: on astro blasters by some factions of the media here.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Is this inbounds? Or is it out of bounds? So
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I've got Jungle Cruise, the Carousel at LAX, and Cucumber Water.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And we will combine all of these things together and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: we will be at Loggerheads. We're going to be at loggerheads.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So to lead off here, using the NFL's own expedited review,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the ruling on the field stands. Schottenheimer is not being
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: unfairly criticized. He is being accurately described. There is a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: difference on that. There is a difference. Brian Schottenheimer is
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: a discount coach who is living up to expectations. You
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: hire a discount coach, you're like, okay, we'll get discount football.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Sounds good. It's like the Cowboys are the NFL's version
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: of a luxury cruise ship. You know those massive, have
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you ever seen one of those big, giant cruise ships?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: It's like the size of a skyscraper. It's out there
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in the Atlantic or the Pacific. They're just giant ships, right?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Massive luxury cruise ships. And just like that, except it's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: being captained by somebody jerry jones hired some teenager he
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: hired from disney world who runs the jungle cruise he
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: drives the jungle well he's really not driving the jungle
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: cruise because it's on track and you're not really driving
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it anywhere but that but that's the thing Shawty. What
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a perfect name. The Cowboys offense, Shawty. They call themselves Gotti,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: but they're Shawty. The Gotti offense, greatest of all time,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: all that. The Cowboys offense, not in the top ten
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: right now. And the play calling, about as mysterious as
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the McDonald's menu. You kind of know what's on the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: McDonald's menu. Like everyone knows what's coming. The penalties have
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: been contagious. The penalties have been contagious. And the game
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: management for the Cowboys looks like a group project. And
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I know this. I was a very good student back
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in the day and all that. That's why I got
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: into radio. But it's like being in a group project
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and everybody thought somebody else was going to do the work.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: But it turns out there's usually one alpha that does
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: all the work, the teacher's pet in a group project.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: In this case, there was none, and nothing got done.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: The most amazing factoid that I've seen about the Cowboys,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the disparity in salary, and how Jerry Jones does not
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: want to spend money on coaches. So Jerry Jones is
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: paying Brian Schottenheimer about $ 4. 5 million, which is a lot
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of money. Listen, if I made $ 4. 5 million, I'd call
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: all my friends. I'd text everybody. I made $ 4. 5 million.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I'd be like the richest guy in the world. I'd
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: be like the coolest thing, right?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: $ 4.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: 5 million. It turns out, though, that that salary for
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer is almost exactly the same, almost dollar for dollar,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: what Bill Parcells was making, which wouldn't be a problem
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: if that wasn't 24 years ago. It's almost like Jerry
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Jones is running a radio company. You're not getting a race.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: This is how much I'm paying my coach, and that's it,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and that's all. See you later. Someone get Jerry Jones
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: some Metamucil. It's not fiscal responsibility for the Dallas Cowboys.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: That is financial constipation. So you definitely need some Metamucil there.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Jerry bought a discount coach and he's getting discount results.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: It's not a shock. Only now people have come to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the age of reason and they're like, okay, wait a minute.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: This is actually a problem. This is not good. Who
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: could have guessed that this would go the direction it's going?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: It's just shocking. It's stunning that here we are a
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: year and a half into this thing, and people are like, well,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: wait a minute. Nobody else wanted to hire Brian Scheunheimer
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: except the Cowboys. And now the Cowboys are like, well,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: maybe we shouldn't have hired him. Furthermore, to the business
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of football, the business of football, Dateline, Meeting Time, Meeting Time,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: 49ers owner Jed York. He's back! Boy, how did the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Niners overcome the loss of Jed York? What a great
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: third down receiver Jed York is and one of the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: all-time great tacklers on defense. Really a testimonial to the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: coaching of Kyle Shanahan that the 49ers had Jed York
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: out on league suspension for the first six games. It's...
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: surprising that they were able to win without having Jed
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: York eating shrimp cocktails in a luxury box with some floozy.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: It's rather shocking. So anyway, Jed York was there. He
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: returned alive. to the NFL owners' meeting, served a six-game suspension,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: paid a $ 500, 000 fine. You might remember Jed York was
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: arrested at a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio. He
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: won a little hanky-panky with the local ladies there and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: got dinged on a prostitution-related charge. He pled no contest. Remember,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: he was wearing his Yankee shirt there. Pled no contest
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to not one but two So he got suspended. York apologized.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: He called it a, quote, inexcusable mistake. Of course, he
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: went out the back door, avoided talking to reporters at
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the NFL owners meetings like he could have avoided the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: cops back at that East Palestine trailer park. So he
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: took off there. And now his return followed. The fact that,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: as mentioned, the Niners are 6-0, they're playing pretty good,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: not sustainable, but for now, I know Eileen in San
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Francisco is nodding her head, yes, it is not sustainable.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: For now, things are going well. Now, meanwhile, you also
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: had Giants executive Steve Tisch, who attended, despite his situation
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: not being adjudicated yet. And you might remember Steve Tisch
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: ending up in the tabloids and in some really dark places.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: He had a well-documented buddy-buddy relationship with the infamous Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Epstein Island. This guy was all about it, according to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the Internet. And the Giants owner was hooked up with
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: some of the ladies there from Jeffrey Epstein. According to, yeah,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: he enjoyed that quite a bit. So this, of course,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: created a social media firestorm. And it's like, oh, my God,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. What happened to standards for the owners
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and all this? So the question, what is your perspective?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Give me your perspective on the outrage, the outrage of
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the 49ers, Jed York and the giant Steve Tisch, these
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: owners attending the NFL's owners meeting and people up in arms.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to answer a question with a question.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: What did you expect the owners' meetings to look like?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Did you think it was going to be like a
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Friday night church potluck? Is that what you were expecting?
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I hate to tell you, this is just in. This
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: is not the Vatican. nobody's electing a new Pope. It's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: not happening. They're gathering. These owners meetings are like, how
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: much money do we make on television? How much more
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: money can we make? How can we take people's money
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: who are in like France and in England? And, uh,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and we'll go to Japan at some point in Mexico.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: How can we get these people's money? The guys who
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: own the Shield, the people that are the gatekeepers of
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the Shield and the custodians of the Shield, all that stuff,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: all those big terms that people use who own sports teams.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: These guys show up with enough baggage to shut down
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the carousel at LAX. That's how much baggage they have.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: They've got more skeletons than the haunted mansion at Disneyland.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: It's wild. And Jed York, now he did serve his punishment.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Having to stay at his mansion and hang out with
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: his other rich friends, difficult. Steve Tisch, a little different
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: on that because he hasn't been punished. He hasn't. I
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: don't know if he's been charged with anything. I mean, nobody.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: That whole Epstein thing, all those powerful people got away
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: with it, whatever they were doing, for the most part. Anyway,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and Roger Goodell, who loves to have the NFL give
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: you all these slogans on the back of helmets on
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the field. They're going to solve all the world's problems. Mr. Integrity,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: he's on this integrity crusade, Roger Goodell. And, of course,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the owners have an exemption, so they don't have to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: worry about Morality and money, money, money. Now, we do
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: know from just living life that money does not buy
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: good judgment. It just buys really good attorneys. So you
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: can make the same crooked decisions that poor people make
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: when you're rich. You can hire a really good law firm.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: That'll clean up your mess. The NFL loves to preach
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: about accountability. Big word for the NFL. But when the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Czech signers are involved, they discover the healing power of
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: selective outrage. They love the selective outrage there. And so
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the owners, when they have a scandal, it's just a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: temporary hiccup. It's an inconvenience between yacht vacations in the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: south of France and If you really want to punish owners,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: no one ever listens to me. If you really want
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: to stick it to the aristocrats, the robber barons or
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the NFL, what do you do? You take away their
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: private planes. You make them fly commercial on Frontier Airlines,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: middle seat, next to the bathroom, two fat people surrounding them.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: That's what you do. And every flight you take, whether
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you're going to Paris or you're going to some tropical
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: vacation to the Bahamas, you've got to take Frontier Airlines,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: middle seat, two fat people next to the bathroom, and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: that's it. But until then, forget about it. It's the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: national football loophole situation if you're an owner. That's a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: national football loophole. That's what that NFL thing means if
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: you're a big, highfalutin owner. All right, last thing. We've
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: got to go back to Pro Bouncy Ball. Kyle sent
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: me this story, very upset that I did not mention
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: it in a previous episode. I think this just happened, though,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: so I don't know how I could have known this.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's an old story. I believe it's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: a new story. Kyle was all upset. You're such a houseman,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: which I don't think I'm a houseman. I ripped the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: teams I like. If they don't play well, unlike a
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: lot of you fanboys, I'll trash them. I'll trash the Rams.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Take apart the Dodgers. And it's about
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the Clippers. So Kyle's upset we didn't mention this. Blake
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Griffin apparently is annoyed that the people's team, the Clippers,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: have never invited... The legendary, quote, Lob City, close quote,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: players back for a formal celebration. Celebrate good times. So
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: he's upset about this. He said, quote, I don't think
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: we've ever been asked to come back or do anything
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: or honor that team. Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, and DeAndre
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Jordan with those hammer dunks. part of the group that
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: turned the Clippers franchise around and transformed them from tomato
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: cans to a perennial playoff team in the NBA. And
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it was all because of that Lob City team. Griffin
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: criticizing the franchise yet again. Where have we seen that before?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And raising questions about the organizational loyalty and the fact
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: that they don't honor the franchise legends. All right, so
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the question here, you've got Blake Griffin who is grumbling
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the Lob City teams have not been honored by the Clippers.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Where are you at on this one? All right, so
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: after a brief deliberation of the available information, we have
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: reached the point in American civilization, the sporting world, big sporty,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: big sporty as we call it, we've reached the point
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: where entitled former professional athletes expect a standing ovation for
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: almost winning something. In this case, it's not even almost
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: winning something. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin have spent years
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: treating the Clippers like a toxic ex. It was a
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: hostile relationship. Throwing rocks. And now they want the toxic X,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: in this case the Clippers, to throw them a nice
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: anniversary party with a cake and balloons. They'd like nice
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: frosting on the cake if that's possible. The audacity. The
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: absolute audacity. And this is the participation trophy industrial complex
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: coming to professional basketball. And while I enjoyed the Lob
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: City Clippers, it was great to see that team. And
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: they were the most exciting team to watch in the NBA.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: They turned out not to be the top team because
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: they didn't win, but they were more exciting than any
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: other team. in that era of the NBA. And so
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: now you look at them and these guys, most of them,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I think DeAndre Jordan's still playing somewhere, but most of
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: these guys are long gone from the NBA. And those
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Lob City guys should rebrand. Instead of Lob City, it's
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Sob City. What a Sob story. Blake Griffin wants a
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: spa day. He wants a spa day. He wants to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: be put on a pedestal, manicure and a pedicure, mani
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and pedi. Cucumber water. Gotta have the cucumber water. Hot
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: stones and complimentary championship rings made out of Play-Doh. Why not?
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: And that team, that Lob City team had all the talent. Now, granted,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: they did not have a good coach. Doc Rivers, terrible coach.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: But they had all the talent, all the hype. The
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: hyperbole was to the moon. A lot of publicity as well. Obviously,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: hyperbole and publicity go together. And yet... They didn't even
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: make the Final Four. They should have made the Final Four.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: They gagged against the Rockettes in one of those years.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: But the Clippers did not make the Final Four with
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the Lob City team. So I don't have a problem
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: with the Clippers not honoring them. In fact, I kind
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: of like the fact they don't retire numbers. They don't
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: do all that bull crap like the Lakers do. They
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: haven't won since Kobe. It's been a while. Nobody talks
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: about that. And they do all that hokey Jersey retirements.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: You spent five minutes with the Lakers. You get your
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: number retired. It's embarrassing. It's like the Yankees. I'm fine
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: with it. You don't get a lifetime achievement award for
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: making the second round. Forget the Chicago version. It's like
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: running with the Bulls in Pamplona. Blake Griffin and these guys, oh, yeah,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: what we did is like running with the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: And yet.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: You left out the part, lie by omission, where you reportedly,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: not reportedly, I saw it, I witnessed it. You repeatedly
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: got gored in the face by the Bulls while you
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: were running in Pamplona. So the Lob City Clippers, they
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: don't need a reunion ceremony. I recommend some group therapy.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I don't have OfferUp still around. There used to be
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: this thing called OfferUp. You get some deals. I don't
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: know if that's around. But there's got to be some
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: kind of way you can get a discount on the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: group therapy for the sideline. City Clippers back in the day.

• 20:19
  Speaker 1: viral this week. He attended the Rays' closeout win to
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: win the American League pennant. And after that happened, it
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: was during that happening, during that happening, he was publicly
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: placed during that game. He was publicly placed in the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: blank during the game. So a fan named Derek, when viral,

• 22:28
  Speaker 1: a Bronco fan. Back to it. Let's play off the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Maller riddle of the day. Some fan named Derek went viral.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: He attended the Rays closeout win in the ALCS. He
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: went viral after he was publicly placed in the blank
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: at that game. That is the question. What is the answer?
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: All right. OG Art Puffin says, Derek was publicly dissed
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: like beach, he says. Poor Derek. What do we have?
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Publicly placed in the cash cube from Ocho Texto. What else?
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Page down in the Marconi Club. That is from Alf
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the Alien O'Piner. That is, I believe, was that the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Marconi winner there? I worked at that station when they
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: won the Marconi back in the day. That's from Alf.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: A late-night drug tester says he was placed within shouting
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: distance of Dick Vitale. JT the Wingman says the team's
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: money chamber. Michael in Tulsa says he was in the
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: octagon with a Mexican wrestler. What else do we have?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: The Verbal Octagon, the Ben Maller Show, Verbal Octagon, Maller
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Prop Guy, the Ray's Tank. In Centerfield. Prison from Courtesy Flusher.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: A house of pizza from Filler Up Phil. The dirty
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: jockstrap basket from Monkey Biz Doug. That's his answer. All right.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Do you have an answer, Lorraine?
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's basic, but I thought he was placed in
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: the corner.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: In the corner.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: With a baby?
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, not the corner. The corner. Yes, I got you. No. No.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: The correct answer, a fan named Derek, he went viral.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: He attended the Rays closeout win in the ALCS. He
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: went viral. He was publicly placed in the friend zone
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: on the Jumbotron. We assume the lady that he was with...
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: got a little uncomfortable. She posted, we assume it's a chick,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: but who knows? Maybe she might be gay. I don't know.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: But whoever posted this, put on the scoreboard, you know,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: put messages on the scoreboard. And this person, we think
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: it's a chick. It's got to be a chick, right? Wrote, Derek,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: thanks for the ticks. And it's got a big, it
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: costs a lot of money, these games. I'm sorry, but
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I think we should just stay friends. Aww. Oh, body blow,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: body blow, body blow. That can hurt. Friend zone. She
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: might as well have just chopped the guy's balls off.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Friend zone. What are you doing? Holy crap.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Terrible.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Guy spent all that money trying to impress the lady,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I assume, there to go to the game, and then
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: she's on the scoreboard. Now, she didn't say his last name,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: so we don't know who that is, and maybe it's
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: all a gag, but I saw the screenshot. Let's go
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to the phones. And here's a name we don't normally see.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: In Dallas, we say hello to Butterfingers. Hello, Butterfingers. Welcome.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ben.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: How you doing?
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the Butterfinger. Very controversial candy.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: It sounds delicious right now.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: And Butterfingers are solid. It is good candy.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: That's where my handle came from, the candy bar. But
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: you were talking about collectibles earlier. I've got a whole
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: freaking attic full of NASCAR little cars and matchbox stuff
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: that somebody could buy and make some money off of.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Are you going to sell it or are you going
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: to get it graded?
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: I'd like to, but you've got to find the guy
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: that wants to buy them. NASCAR went downhill when Dale
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Earnhardt died.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: But other than.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: That, you're talking about your case.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Do you have.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: All those Marlboro stuff and all that? Yeah. Winston. Oh, Winston.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: That's right. That's a bad job by me. The Camel, right?
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: It was the Camel?
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: The Winston Camel. I remember that.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: You know, R.J. Reynolds.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: That was who owned it all right there. All that money.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Now they own big food companies.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: So I guess what you could do, Butterfingers, is when
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: the card shows come through Dallas, you just go there
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and you try to find somebody to buy. But they're
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: going to screw you. You know that. They're going to
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: stick it to you.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: I'll never get the money back. It's just sitting up there.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: I got them all in the boxes unopened and all that,
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: It's just finding.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: The right guy that wants them. But the Cowboys will never,
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: you know, do any good with the Jones family there
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: because now they've got Steven Jones coming next, and he's
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: just a big idiot, you know, as Jerry is. So,
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I hear you. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: in this case, it does not. That's right. I got you.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: It's all about the money, brother.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Thank you for everything. Have a good one, bro.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: The great Butterfingers. Everyone enjoy a Butterfingers.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: I thought he just meant he had slippery hands.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Well, there's that, too. There's that. Hollering James is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Hollering James. Oh, Ben, you took me too soon. I
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: want to play two more games. All right, I'll put
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: you on hold. You're not playing too much. You always play. James,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you always play. I've got to let somebody else play, James.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: You can't bogart the game. There's somebody else that wants
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: to play. All right, but Coop says that's the only
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: game I'm good at.
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: Is that true? Well, that's where he games. I didn't
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: say that. I said that's the only game that you're
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: allowed to play.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. All right. Now, James, you became famous, as
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: you know, even though you were unaware at the time
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: of winning the game while fast asleep. That was your
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: claim to fame. It's the first time ever in the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: history of the show, and I think in the history
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: of radio, someone has won a game show while fast asleep.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sleeping all day, sleeping all night, taking pills in
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the morning, taking pills at night. Let's play the game.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Hit that button right there. Game show time.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: Hold on two seconds.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Two seconds. Two seconds. One more second.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: And then three more seconds.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: And then now.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: It's another Ben Maller game. We've endured too many of these.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Is it too much or not enough?
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Enough already. And away we go. Let's welcome in our contestant.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Much to the dismay of hollering James, we say hello
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to Alex D'Angelo. who is in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the Keystone State. Hello, Alex. Welcome. Hello, Benny.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, not Lancaster.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I see you're still a schmuck. That's good. And here
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: we are. It's amazing here. Enjoy it and play the game.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Are you prepared? Are you ready?
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I'm more than ready.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: All right. Good, because I'm not. I don't have the questions,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: so we're just going to kill some time here and
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to wait for the question.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Our printer would be malfunctioning.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: Gremlins! It's coming right now.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I hear it. I'm glad to know that you got
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: out of jail, though. That's cool. Good to see that.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: I was never in jail.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: That's what somebody that was in jail would say.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Question number one. Alex, you want to
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: tell the people listening in Sheboygan what you do for
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: a living?
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: I deliver Red Baron pizza at grocery stores here.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Very specific Red Baron pizza. Very specific.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Yep. Best any kind. I'm just waiting for my Walmart
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: to open up here so I can make a delivery.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. And Walmart needs their Red Baron pizza.
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: I haven't been to a Walmart in so long.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Why not? I don't know.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: I think I prefer Target.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people say, my wife says the
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: lighting's not good at Walmart. You know what I like?
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: The discounts. That's what I like.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: Ah, I do love a good discount.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's like, I'll deal with the lighting. I'm not
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: moving into the store. I'm just there to buy stuff.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: And that's it. All right. Here we go. Since entering
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the NBA, Victor Wimbanyama has 50 games with five or
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: more blocks. Is that too much or not enough?
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: I would have to say that's not enough.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: That is correct. He has 55 games with five or
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: more blocks. That is more than second, third, and fourth combined.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Question two. You're off to a good start. There are
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: only five players with more career three-pointers. Then Paul George.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Is that too much or not enough?
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I have to say too much.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: You didn't say that. You're wrong. Terrible answer. Bad job
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: by you.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Not enough.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: There are seven players with more career three-pointers than PG-13,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the steroid guy. Question number three.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: You can do it, the Baron.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: For Alex, he's delivering pizza to a Walmart store. In Pennsylvania,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Here we go, question three. Kenneth Walker.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Lancaster.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: No, shut up. I say it how I want to
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: say it. Kenneth Walker has more multi-touchdown games than seven
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: NFL teams this season. The Chiefs running back. Is that
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: too much or not enough? You've got to get two
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: more questions right. Alex, the Red Baron. Not enough. All right,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: let's find out. You suck at this game. The answer
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: is too much. He has more multi-touchdown games than five
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: NFL teams, Vikings, Browns, Titans, Bucs. And Dolph, do you
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: want to give up right now or should we keep going, Alex?
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: You're getting killed here. It's really bad.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: I didn't hear no bell.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: This is one of the worst performances we've ever had.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: You're embarrassing all of Pennsylvania right now. Do you want
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: to quit the game or keep going?
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: I didn't hear no bell.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Ring the bell. All right, we'll keep going. Alvin Kamara.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: You know who that is?
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the running back for the Saints.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara is the ninth player in NFL history with
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: 5,000 or more rushing yards and 5,000 or more receiving yards.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: To stay alive, Alex, is that too much or not enough?
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Too much.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Let's find out. Let's see. Oh, my God.
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: Staying alive.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: A miracle. A miracle has happened. Last question. Question five.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Don't choke, Alex. Two weeks ago, against the Dolphins, was
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's seventh career game with four or more touchdown passes.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Is that too much or not enough? For the win
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: or the loss on this question, Alex waiting to deliver
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Red Baron pizzas at a Walmart in Pennsylvania.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Not enough.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Let's find out. That's a winner! You did it! Sometimes
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: good things happen to bad callers. Congratulations. I'm kidding. Congratulations, Alex.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: You are a winner, which unfortunately means I have to
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: give you a golden ticket.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: I've got a golden ticket.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I've got a golden ticket. Which I'm sure I will regret.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Congratulations there, Alex, and enjoy your day. Thank you, sir.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: There you go. There's Alex where he goes only he knows.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: We are moments away from the Queen of Hearts. I
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: need a few more questions. A few more good questions.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: I have plenty of questions, but I want good questions.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: So send those in. Hashtag. Dig deep.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Hashtag.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Down to the very pits of the you know where.

• 35:08
  Speaker 6: And it's holiday season time, which is the best time
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: to be in a relationship. So if you're thinking about
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: asking someone else, this might be a good time.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I thought, guys, you dump the girlfriend before. No, after Halloween,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: but before Thanksgiving. And then get back together in January. Yeah,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: if you're a scumbag and a cheapo. I'm just saying, like,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: that was always the move, right? For dudes, you get
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: rid of the girlfriend right after Halloween.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: No, holiday season is when you take your girl home
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: for the first time and introduce them to your family.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: That's the point. So you get rid of them and
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: then you bring them back in January.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: You sound like you're anti-love. We're here for love.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right. I'm just saying. I'm just pointing that out. Now, Halloween,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: you keep the girlfriend for Halloween, because the women have
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: hijacked Halloween and turned it into the catwalk with as
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: little clothing as possible, which is what has happened over
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: the years.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: I saw the Funnest Couple costume yesterday. I've got to
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: tell you about it really fast. It was a guy,
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: and he's dressed kind of normal, but his girl's a piñata,
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: and he smacks her with a stick, and candy falls out.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going somewhere else.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't know.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. OG Art Puffin writes in. By the way, thanks
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: to Milkman Mike and J Scoop who put this open together.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: Oh, yes.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: It's the best song ever.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: It's a really good deal. OG Art Puffin says, is
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: proposing at a professional sporting event romantic or is it
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: a high-pressure trap that should be banned from the OG
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Art Puffin?
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: Well, hopefully, you know your woman when you propose. And
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: if you think that that would be overwhelming for her,
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: don't do that proposal. If they do like extravagant gestures,
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: I think that's a great one. And I would let
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: the stadium know beforehand so that they can do the
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: camera to you and maybe have the mascot behind you.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: If you're real fans, you know what I'm saying?
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: That'd be cool.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I hear you. Next up, Sensei Thunder Fist.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: Sensei.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that's his real name. What would a chair
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: look like, Lorena, if your knees bent in the opposite directions?
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Great question.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: Oh, my gosh. I've never thought about that.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: This guy's smoking weed.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Are my knees backwards or are my hips backwards?
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Because that would be.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: Because my knees, my feet would still hang the same,
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: but my feet would be in a different direction.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: It would be at a different angle if you think
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: about your knees bent inward.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: But I think the chair wouldn't have to change very
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: much because that's happening underneath the chair.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: It would have to be your hips. So if your
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: hips were backwards, then, yeah, the chair would be different.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: All right, Mike writes in, he says, is it a
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: true sign of love if your girlfriend trims your long,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: stinky toenail fungus and all? It is.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: I used to do that for my first baby daddy.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow, that's nice.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: I actually enjoyed it, though, because it's kind of like
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: a pedicure.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: See that? You just answered Mike the Leprechaun's question. You
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: think he's got toe fungus, Mike the Leprechaun?
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: He definitely has toe fungus.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: He definitely has toe fungus. All right. What is a
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: good food pairing for tequila? This is from Will T.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: What is a good food pairing for tequila? Oh, tacos, obviously.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Tacos and tequila.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: They almost rhyme.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Mexico.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Tequila coves. Yeah, yeah. They had a lot of tequila.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Big tequila country there in Mexico. So, you know, they
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: go with the tacos. JT, the wingman, writes in. He says,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: while packing for a romantic adults-only weekend cruise, what are
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: some naughty must-haves to spice it up a little bit?
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, I love this question.
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: Well, I actually just went to Hustlers the other day,
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: and I found this really cool game.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Is that still in Hollywood?
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: There's one over by me.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right.
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and they have a whole game section, and I
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: thought that would be kind of fun for a party
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: type thing. They have sexy Jenga. And you pull a
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: different one and it's like, oh, kiss your lover's neck
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: or send them a dirty photo.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: I think that would be fun to do on the cruise.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: And always take toys. Toys are a great thing to
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: take on cruises.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: JT's going to take his Hot Wheels with him, so
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: that'll be good. Hot Wheels.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: Hot Wheels all day, baby.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's see. Shane in Des Moines says, do
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: you or your exes snore? That's from Shane in Des Moines.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: He wants to know about the snoring habits.
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: Yes, I don't snore unless I'm pregnant or sick, but
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: um i have dated a couple guys who snore early
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: and um i actually kind of find it soothing it
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: kind of puts me to bed actually it's not too.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Bad most people like that uh mike writes he actually
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: emailed in mike from texas he says uh lorena uh
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: is it true if a woman puts a man in
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the friend zone he is unattractive.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: No, not true.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: No, not true.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: Not true at all.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's true. I agree with this.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: I can't tell you how many attractive men I have
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: put in the friend zone.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: We just don't get along like that. You know, like
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: I don't want you to.
