• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Rebecca the Ram fan? It might have been. And she said, hey, Ben,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you know, the wait is over. I said, you're right.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: That's the beginning of the DraftKings copy. Football is here,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and so is DraftKings. DraftKings is now live in all
• 3:02

  Speaker 1: Again, that's promo code MALLER, M-A-L-L-E-R, at DraftKings, the crown.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: It's yours.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I know. That's the copy.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: So we had NFL football, kind of.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It was in Australia. The game's already been played on Friday,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: now that we're all in Friday. And upset city, despite
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the public backing the Rams, The 49ers shoved it down
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: their throat in a large way. The Niners controlling the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: football on a couple of long drives, and they end
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: up winning the game in a route or route. The
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: seven points, it was 27-7. The seven points that the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Rams scored were the fewest in a game started by
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford since the final season with the Detroit Lions. Yeah,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: so it's been a minute since Stafford was part of
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: an offense that was that bad. Now, I mentioned earlier
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: in a previous Mallard monologue about Brock Purdy, and there's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of wonderful things being said about Brock Purdy
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: for that performance. However, Brock Purdy, his average throw went
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: 4.4 yards downfield for the 49ers. 4.4 yards average depth
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of throw for the Niners quarterback.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: So I feel like anyone could have done that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know how that was anything magical about Brock Purdy,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: but what do I know? Yet he's getting a lot
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of love. There's a lot of media people that are
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: doing the Hawk Tour right now with their knee pads out.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: They're very happy for his performance. So our lead this hour, though,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: is from the land of the Yinzer, the land of
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the Yinzer, where Steelers... Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was asked a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: flurry of questions that had nothing to do with football,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: which makes for good talk radio. He pushed back, push
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: it back now, on people questioning whether his wife Brittany
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is real or imaginary. So did Rodgers confirm and show
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a photo of her?
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: No.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said, quote, I don't blank care about it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: What?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Kind of sounds like he does. I know I'm using
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: some psychobabble, but if you say I don't effing care
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: about it, it sounds like you care. Seems like an
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: emotional reaction. Rogers claims that he did marry this mystery woman, Brittany,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: in 2025. He appeared on a teammate Cam Hayward's Friends
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and Family Only podcast.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: That's not the name of the podcast, but the only
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: people that listen are friends and family.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Rogers agreed that That skepticism and criticism surrounding his personal life,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: he believes it goes back to the COVID vaccine. Believes
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that the media narrative is being pushed because of the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: way he handled that situation. So that is a good
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. You got
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers who says the cynicism about his
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: alleged until we see her in the flesh alleged wife
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: britney is because he did not did not get the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: jab back in the day is that reality based is
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: this whole thing reality based so i've got mozzarella sticks
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: otis elevator company and jet blue and we will combine
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: go for it we're gonna have a little pizza a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: little baba ghanoush, going to have some gabagool, the jambalaya,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: got some lasagna, got a little matzo ball soup, got
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. Some orange chicken over there.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: That looks pretty good.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: All right, so first of all, Rogers again claiming that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: all the cynicism and the skepticism about his wife, wink, wink,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: is all because.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: He did not get the jab back in the day.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: So I don't know about other people.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I can only speak for myself. It has nothing to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: do with that. nothing to do with that and rogers
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: believing that is not based in reality it's based in
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: an alternative reality welcome to the rogers verse.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: What is that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Well thanks for asking what is the rogers verse a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: world where every road every single road eventually leads back
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to the backseat even though we're six years later so
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: instead of answering a simple question And just a simple question,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Aaron turned a perfectly reasonable public curiosity, and that's what
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: this is, public curiosity, into another chapter of The Persecution
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers, playing the victim card from the bottom
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of the deck, starring Aaron Rodgers, produced by Aaron Rodgers. Now,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: if you look at the very public track record, very
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: public track record of Canoodling, and we went to canoodlingreference.com
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to find the answer here. So you've got Olivia Munn,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Danica Patrick, Shailene Woodley, among others. These are all high-profile
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: relationships that ended up in People Magazine and TMZ and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: all those old media outlets. And yet, out of thin air,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Rogers arrives at the altar with a mystery woman.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Ooh.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Is she real or a ghost?
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: And the visibility. This woman, Brittany, has the visibility of
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: dark matter.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: You imagine in 2026, you cannot, as a person in
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the United States, and I don't know about every other country,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: but in the United States, you cannot eat mozzarella sticks
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: at Olive Garden without somebody filming the way you dip
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the mozzarella stick into the marinara. They're filming that. They'll
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: film it vertically. And, you know, Yet somehow, Roger's wife
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: has achieved CIA-level invisibility. And I hear the yabbit, yabbit, yabbit,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the yabbit rabbit. The yabbit rabbit says, well, she lives
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in Europe. Well, this just in to the Fox Sports
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Radio newsroom.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Guess what?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It's going to shock you. They also have cameras in Europe.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Everyone's got a cell phone. In Europe, they all got cameras. So,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: same deal. She hasn't been photographed anywhere in Europe or
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the United States. Like, is she some kind of goblin?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: You know, the talk is, like, goblins and ghosts, you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: can't photograph them. because they don't show up in photographs.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: She hasn't been spotted visiting Rogers at like a Whole
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Foods picking out avocados while wearing a burka with a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: mesh screen or something like that. Almost like she doesn't exist.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: The government can't even keep most classified documents classified because
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Yet Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers has been able to keep an
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: entire spouse off the grid.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: They've never been photographed in public. Not one time.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: At least not that is known. And so either Rodgers
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is controlling her movements, Brittany, like she's being kept captive
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in a basement at a house Rodgers rents out in
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Green Bay, or she's an AI chatbot. Which one could
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it be? Inquiring minds would like to know. Now, secondly.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: To the Commonwealth we go. Injury update.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Injury update. Patriot star wide receiver A.J. Brown and down.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Expected to miss at least four weeks. That's a month,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a month of the NFL season for A.J. Brown after
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: suffering snap, crackle, pop, high ankle sprain. High ankle sprain
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: in the season opening loss to Seattle.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Now, A.J.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Brown underwent an MRI on Thursday, confirmed the high ankle sprain,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and so he didn't have a fracture.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: X-rays were negative for that, so he avoided the.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Most serious injury, Brown leaving for the Patriot team playing
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: in a walking boot and did not return. That's the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: most popular injury so far this NFL season. The high
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: ankle sprain is at the very top. Yes. All right.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: So the question, how much trouble, how much trouble are
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the Patriots in if A.J. Brown does miss a month
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: or more? So I I've used the Maller scale of
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: worry one to six on the Maller scale of worry
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: and the Maller clinical assessment based on a minutes long
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: deliberation of the available information we've we've assessed. that the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Patriots offense without A.J. Brown on the Maller scale of
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: concern and worry and trouble, one to six, we are
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: at a four on the Maller scale of worry, and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: here's why. Losing A.J. Brown exposes how thin the Patriots
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: are in terms of impact players, the depth chart. That
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: receiving group makes you want to puke in your mouth.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: It is A.J.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Brown, and they've got a bag of packing peanuts that,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: And somebody just removed A.J. Brown.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: So the pressure is now on Drake May even more
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to moonlight. Now, Drake May already has a quarterback job.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: We recommend that he moonlights at the Otis Elevator Company
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to elevate a very mediocre receiving group and to put
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: them in the elevator and take them to the upper floors.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Because Romeo Dobbs, one of the worst games you could
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: possibly have in his Patriot debut, almost as bad as
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, who pitched a shutout. which would have been
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: good if he was pitching for the Dodgers, but not
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: playing football for the Rams. Mack Hollins, the guy most
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: famous for not wearing shoes. And then Pop Douglas as well.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: None of those guys make you warm and fuzzy.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: They don't. Now, luckily, the only positive, and I'll be Benny.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Brightside to a point while I will maintain the Maller
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: scale of worry for the Pats is at one to six.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: It's at a four. It's at a four.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: That said, the schedule gods.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Are smiling at Mike Vrabel, kind of like Diana Rossini
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: used to smile at Mike Vrabel.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Water wings instead of an anchor. What does that mean?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: That means the upcoming schedule for the Patriots is, the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: word I will use is manageable.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: You've got the.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Steelers in Foxborough, the home opener in Week 2. The Jags,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that's on the road. And the Bills, that's in upstate
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: New York. And then the Raiders. So if you go
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: two and two and you keep your nostrils above water,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: you still have a losing record going into week five.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: All things considered, that would be pretty good. That would
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: be pretty good. I guess going into week six, you'd
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: have a losing record.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: But you get the point.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: So that's where we are. And you look around. There
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you go. If you can go two and two and
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: after five weeks have a two and three record. You
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: handle the Jets after that if Brown is still out,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and then you get back to 500. So this is
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: where we find out whether or not Drake May is
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: going to be the rocket ship or the rocket ship.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: That needs a booster like A.J.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Brown.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: And what exactly happens to Drake May when you remove
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the thrust? We don't know.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: So this is the launch test.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Does Drake May reach orbit, or does this thing blow
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: up and go kaboom, three feet off the launch pad?
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: We'll see about that.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: All right, final thought to New York, New York we go.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: The Big Apple, if you can make it there, you
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: can make it a few other places. So wide receiver,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Giants wide receiver Malik Neighbors. Will he or won't he
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: play in an island game this weekend, Giants and Cowboys?
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I wonder how that game ended up on an island.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: But it is.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: So Giants wide receiver Malik Nabors remains noncommittal about whether
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: he's going to play Sunday night against the Cowboys, despite
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: making supposedly big-time progress in his recovery from last season's
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: knee injury. Malik Nabors, when chatting with the media, said,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: The media heard there. Malik Nabors said the final call
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: belongs to him. He said, it's my career and it's
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: my body. And I know when I'm able to play,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: said Malik Nabors. It's funny. I tell that to my bosses.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: They say, keep working the graveyard shift, loser. I say, OK,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I will keep working the graveyard shift. I'm a loser.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much for that. I appreciate that. Now,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Neighbors also said he's feeling good. Well, I'm happy to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: know that he's in good shape here.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Malik Neighbors feeling good. Now, Neighbors has not played since
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: he had snap, crackle, pop back in week four of
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: last season and has undergone not one but two surgeries
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: as he's tried to come back. So the question, how
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: do you decode Giants wide receiver Malik Neighbors saying, quote,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: it's my career and my body? So Malik Nabors has
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: been medically cleared by the Giants. The Giants medical staff,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff, got together. They had a powwow, and
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: they gave him the green light. Not the red, not
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the yellow. They gave him the green light. Go. The
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: doctors punched the ticket. They signed off on the release papers.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: And yet, Malik Nabors.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Is standing at the gate pretending he hasn't decided whether
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: to board– the big jet blue plane over there. And
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: so this is not exactly Hamlet. We're not talking about
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Hamlet here. You don't need to play or not to
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: play routine. You don't need that. Now, Neighbors is milking
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: this thing like it's the finale of The Masked Singer.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: It really is like turning a simple medical clearance into
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: a grand philosophical debate And enough!
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I don't need this. Your Malik neighbors are nuts. God's
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: gift to football.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Stop! And yet we get the Kabuki theater mixed with
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: the suspense theater. Now, if you're healthy enough to go
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: out there and have a full, padded, contact-heavy practice, which
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: according to what I read, that's what happened, then I
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: would think you're healthy enough to play for Jerry Jones'
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: football team. So if Malik neighbors is healthy enough to practice...
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: That would mean he's healthy enough to play. That's trickle-down economics.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: So stop overcomplicating the situation. It is the Ben Maller

• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the alien opiner from somewhere in the backwoods near Worcester,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: in between Worcester and Springfield, he says, it's a shame
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: that a certain wide receiver chose to hit the eject
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: button and ask for a trade because Mike Vrabel and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the Patriots could sure use a booty call right about now. Yeah,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: one of the great names. And no longer part of
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the Patriots family. You will be seeing, I assume we'll
• 21:46

  Speaker 1: his new team, Kayshaun Booty, who is in the starting
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: lineup for the, at least listed in the starting lineup
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans. So we'll see how that goes.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: As the Texans open up, one of the better games,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: at least on a matchup, you look at a depth chart,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: you're like, well, that seems like it's a pretty good
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: opportunity there to watch a game.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Texans and the Bills. So that's one of the games there.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: We'll take some calls. 877-99 on Fox. We do have
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the Coop Scoop on entertainment.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Hooray for Hollywood.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Hooray for Hollywood. We'll get to that coming up in
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: a minute as my board gets ready. I did want
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to mention, I was watching the Netflix feed.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: It is just horrible. My God.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I was texting a buddy of mine during the game,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: and we were like, did they try to hire people
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: that football fans wouldn't want to watch? I don't know
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: who that woman is, but she's terrible. And she was
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: wearing leather gloves. It was very... It was very odd.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what was going on. I don't watch
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the pregame stuff. I did not watch the pregame stuff.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I did watch the halftime. It was on and then
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the postgame.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: The Joe Bros?
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Jonas Brothers were there. Yeah.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Why did that happen? Can you explain why the Jonas
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Brothers decided to pop up in my world again?
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: I was shocked when I saw them up there.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: I was like, I didn't realize they were doing this
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: for the halftime.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize they were still alive. I had no idea. Oh, yeah.
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: Nick is my age. He's 33. Joe is 37.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: No, 35. And Kevin's 38.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: But they were popular 20 years ago, right? Weren't they?
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Am I right? Isn't that kind of when they became
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: a thing?
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, when they were Disney Channel stars. Yeah, but they
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: still make music.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Not that I watch the Disney Channel, of course.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they still make music.
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: You know what I didn't like about the Netflix thing? Yeah,
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: I felt like every four minutes there was a big
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: N in my face, like a big red N.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: It was like Netflix, Netflix, Netflix, Netflix.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: It's like you drive through Hollywood, they have the Netflix
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: building over there. I drive by that every night when
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I come in.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of any channel that you watch
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: a game on. An N down in the corner would
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: be fine.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just saying, like, if you watch a
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: game on Fox, it's constantly going to be Right there. Fox.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: But I understand.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: You watch Netflix.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: You don't normally see the Netflix training.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't normally see that. That's very odd to me. Oh, okay.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I see what you mean. Yeah, I mean, I guess
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: that's true.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: By the way, I would like to rip Mr. T
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: because I watched that documentary he complained about, said he
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: wasn't in it for more. Didn't he say he wasn't
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: in it for like 30 seconds or something? He was
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: in the whole thing. He was full of crap.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: He said he didn't like how it portrayed him or
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: something like that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: He portrayed him– well, I'll tell you why. Should I
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: give a spoiler alert first?
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, and he was upset that his pastor wasn't in
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: it long enough.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: His pastor was in it enough. It wasn't that long
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: a documentary.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: And it just– the reason he's upset is– here, you're
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: not going to watch it anyway. But the reason he
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: was upset is because it made it seem like he
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: was such a greedy a-hole. You know, people getting, you know,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: you worked in Hollywood Coop all those years. People, they
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: reach a certain level of stardom. They think they're entitled
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: to a bunch of stuff. Yeah, absolutely. So, and it's,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and I'll talk about this at some point on my podcast,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: but I actually almost worked with Mr. T. He literally
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: fell off, he couldn't get a gig in Hollywood in the,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: like the late 90s.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: How pathetic was Mr. T?
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: He considered taking a sports talk radio show in Los Angeles.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: That's how bad things were for Mr. T.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: And my boss at the time, he was a big, big,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: over-the-top promoter guy, and Mr. T came in. It was
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: crazy in the late 90s. We had Eric Estrada, who
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: was a popular actor on shows in the 80s. He
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: came in and auditioned. I don't know if that's the
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: right word. It really wasn't an audition. It was whoever
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: would take the money.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: T was in there.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: They ended up hiring Carl Malone, who was a big
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: star for the Utah Jazz at the time, and then
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw. Those are the guys they ended up hiring.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: But the other people they interviewed were Mr. T and
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: this actor, Eric Estrada. It was interesting watching the thing,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: and I thought it was fine. It was a rise
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: and fall. He rose up out of the hood in
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Chicago and became this megastar that crossed over. Everyone loved Mr. T.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: And I didn't know how he got that show, The A-Team.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: When I was a kid, it was a popular show.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: And it was like just they loved him from the
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Rocky movies, and they're like, let's make a show around Mr. T.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: And they gave him this show, which was on for
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: a few years.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: And was popular.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Did he have weird demands?
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Well, he eventually did have very weird demands. That's what
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: they talked about. Yeah, like he demanded a ton of
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: money to do anything. And if it wasn't perfect, he
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. And then people stopped returning his calls
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: or stopped calling.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Him at all. And it became a problem.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: I required Rice Krispie treats in my dressing room at
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: all times.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, is that right? Yes. Well, you were a kid also.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: There's a bit of an issue there.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Just a giant bug.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: By the way, I want to point out, Lorena, a
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: giant bug flew right in front of me and hit
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: the microphone as I'm spitting into it. But I did
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: not stop there. I did breathe. You heard that breathing
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit? Yes.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: That was me trying to blow the bug away. I'm
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: a professional, Lorena.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: I think you need to leave your microphone on the
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: side of the road.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: You guys are jerks. I'm going home.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, there's this massive heat thing, this El
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Nino thing, where we do the show from. So it's extremely,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: it's like tropical heat. And I've noticed, I don't know
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: if you've noticed, with tropical heat come tropical bugs. So
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know where they're coming from, but there are
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of big, gnarly bugs that I don't normally
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: see that are all over the place. So I just...
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: That one kind of popped up right in front of
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: me here, and I just tried.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: To blow it off the microphone, and I don't know
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: how that worked out.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to Frank
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the Tank. Hello, Frank the Tank. He's in Iowa. Hello, Frank.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: How's it going, Bill? Mr. Bill Miller.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Good morning only. Frank the man, the myth, the legend.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, how do you like the way the Rams did tonight?
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: I listened to it on the radio because I couldn't
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: get Fox on my TV until I get it programmed
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: because you can only get two stations on it because
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: it's a Google TV. So I listened to it on
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: the radio, and they kind of– no, they're in bad shape.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think McVay should be fired. They should bring
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: in Mike Tomlin as a coach. They should bench Stafford
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: and go with Ty Simpson. I think that's a good idea. Trade–
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Trade Miles Garrett back to the Browns. Have Aaron Donald
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: go back to Pittsburgh and eat hoagies. What else? They
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: can release Puka Nakua. How about this? The Rams were
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: so bad that they're going to have to take a
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: boat back from Australia. That's how bad they were. How
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: about that? They have to take a boat back. And
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: then when they get back to the States, Frank, they
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: were that bad. They have to relocate to St.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: Louis.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: They have to become the St.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Louis Rams again.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're playing the Edward Jones Dome, because my mom's
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: from southern Illinois, and we used to go right by it.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: My mom used to say, there goes the Edward Jones
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: My dad said, he don't hear you.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: He got his ears.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: On us all.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear you.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I think all those things should happen. And in the multiverse,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and there is a dimension where the Rams are on
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: a boat right now trying to make their way back
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: from Australia.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: How long a boat ride is it from.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Australia to L.A.? Probably about three months. I don't think
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: it's that long.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know, though.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: How do you get a– You have to fill up
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: the gas in the boat, you know, if it's electric,
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: you know, gas.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: It takes about 25 to 50 days to travel by
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: boat from Australia to Los Angeles.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: I went too far off.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Good boat knowledge by Frank.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If I owned the Rams, how about this? I
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: would have them take a boat back. It was that
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: bad in Melbourne. I'd have them take a boat back,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: and then I'd fly them off the boat back to
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: play the games where they have to practice on the boat,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: and when the game's over, they have to fly back
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: to the boat somewhere out in the ocean. Yep.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: One other thing. What do you think? Are you thinking
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: the Vikings are going to give Kyle Alligator, Arms, Murray
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: a multi-year extension to stay with the Vikings?
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Well, if they're stupid, they'll give him a long-term extension.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: If they're smart, they'll let him play out the year
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and then get a good quarterback because he's not a
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: good quarterback. All right, Frank, I appreciate that. Poppy, give
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: one pick, Poppy. I got to get to Coop. He's
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: standing by for the Coop scoop on entertainment. Give me
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: one pick, Poppy, right now. Go ahead, one pick.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: And I'm going to give you the rival game on
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: the Monday night football, the Broncos against the Chiefs. I'm
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: really liking the Chiefs because Patrick Mahomes is the back. Oh, no.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: You just put the whammy. You just put the whammy
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: on the– oh, my God, you ruined my pick.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the coop. And Marcel's not here,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: so let's get to.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: The coop scoop on entertainment.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: What do you mean? Yes, he is.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, he is there.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Marcel, go ahead, Marcel. You're the voice guy. I didn't
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: see your name. Go ahead, Marcel, please.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, it is.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: Coop Scoop on Entertainment on this Friday, 9-11-2026.

  Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Marcel. A great toss, as always.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: All right, Ben, we're going to start at the cinema,
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: as we always do here on Coop Scoop Entertainment. Ben,
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: the first movie that I want to talk about that
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: comes out this weekend is is Practical Magic 2. Now,
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: I know you were a huge Practical Magic 1 fan, right, Ben?
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have the poster here in my studio.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: That's what I thought.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Movie poster.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be honest. I didn't even.
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: Really know that this was a movie. The original came
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: out in 1998. I guess it's labeled as Fantasy Romance.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: It's a good movie.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: You know, it stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, the original,
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: as well as.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I know who they are. They must be old.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: I know who they are.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: And I believe they're witches, right? Is that right, Lorena?
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: Yes, and they have a family curse on them that
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: any man that they love or marry will die.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Witches with a W.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I think most women have that. But yeah, go ahead.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: So both Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are back in
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: this sequel.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: But they did recast the role.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: Played by Evan Rachel Wood and is now going to
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: be Joey King because I guess Evan Rachel Wood's too
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: old now, right? They can make Sandra Bullock and Nicole
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: Kidman seem younger than they actually are, but... They wanted
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: the daughter to just be, you know, in her 20s,
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: I guess.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Do we know the makeup budget for this?
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: It's probably enormous. But the sequel has not gotten good reviews.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: Right now it sits at a 36 percent on from
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: the critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Another movie that I want
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: to point out is called The Uprising. Now, this one
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: stars Andrew Garfield of Spider-Man fame. And he is the
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: leader of a ferocious rebellion against the tyranny of King
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: Richard II, set against the true events of the uprising
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: that helped inspire the legend of Robin Hood. He forms
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: an army.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Of the people.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, love it.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Go out to the Sherwood Forest out there.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this one's got middling reviews.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: And last but not least for the theaters is a
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: new movie called Hope. Now, my buddy saw this movie,
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: said it was fantastic. The critics and audiences agree so far.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: It is a Korean monster movie. So a police chief,
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: a policewoman, and a group of hunters try to track
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: down and kill a mysterious creature that's laying waste.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: They missed the opportunity.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: They should have had K-pop stars kill the beasts.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: That's what they should have done.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Who knows?
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: There might be some K-pop stars in this. I just
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: don't know. Actually, Michael Fassbender's in this, Alicia Vikander. There's
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: a couple names that I know, and then a bunch
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: of Korean names that I don't know.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: You a big K-pop guy?
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Not a K-pop guy.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: No, but I do like Korean cinema. It's good stuff.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: My buddy, one of my good friends is Korean, and
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: he was so pissed when he was growing up There
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: was nothing like K-pop. And now there's all these Korean stars.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: He's so pissed. He's like, I would have been so popular.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: All the girls were like.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: It's a certain type of girl.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: All right. I hear you.
• 34:47

  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: No Jeopardy.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I love NFL. I was going to get to this earlier,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: and I didn't get to it because I'm bad at
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: this job. NFL players that don't pay attention to NFL news. Now,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: it is interesting to note. that the amount of people
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: that seem to enjoy the NFL and pay very close
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: attention to the NFL is very high. The people that
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: work in the NFL don't pay attention. And I was
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: thinking about, like, I work, obviously, in radio, and I
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: do pay some attention. Usually once or twice a week
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I'll check out some of the industry news, and it's
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: always depressing. It's always depressing in the radio world, what's
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: going on, people losing their jobs and things like that.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: And so I try to do it only once or
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: twice a week to see what's going on in my business.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: But I do.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: NFL players don't seem to pay much attention to what's
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: going on. For example, Lions running back Jameer Gibbs was
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: stunned to learn the Pro Bowl no longer exists. He
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: just couldn't believe they got rid of the Pro Bowl.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: How about Mike Evans, the 49er wide receiver, who apparently
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: had no idea that the Rams decided to try to
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: make the trip to Australia a stopover in Vegas. He
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: didn't know the bizarre travel plans. of the Rams. Well,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: he's in Australia, but I'm told the interweb is everywhere.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: That's what you all tell me, right? The interweb's everywhere.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: You can get the news wherever you go and all that.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: So NFL players not paying attention to NFL news. And
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: who's going to be the first Ram player to blame
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: the travel? I saw after the game, Miles Garrett refused
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: to blame the travel for his goose egg Completely useless.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: He had a cardio game, had no pressures, no tackles,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: did nothing for the Rams, just stood out there and ran.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Around.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I will guarantee you by the time, here's our last
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: overnight show of the week, by the time we get
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: back early next week, there will be a Ram player
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: of note, as Eddie would say, that will say, well,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the travel was a thing yesterday. And they flew on
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the most redonkulous play. They played like absolute crap, the Rams.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: They deserved to lose.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: They should have lost by more, to be honest with you.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Should have lost by more.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: But my God, what a debacle that game was last night.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness. Holy crap.
