  Speaker 1: Mama, there goes that man. It's our number two. Our
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: number two. And it's good to have you hanging out
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: with us, your second bite of the apple on this
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: election day, Tuesday, the third day of November. And here
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: in our number two, can super agent Drew Rosenhaus rescue
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: 49ers wide receiver Brandon Iook's career? Or is this a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: mission impossible situation? Brandon Iook has apparently hired Rosenhaus to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: try to. Get him back in the league. He's currently
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: in timeout in the Bay Area. Also with Gardner Minshew
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: taking over as QB1. How is the Cardinal quarterback room
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: looking at this point? We'll take a look at that.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And what are your expectations for Miles Garrett, who's returning
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to Rams practice? He's only played one game, has played.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: as many sacks with the Rams as you and I have.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about all of that and more as we chub-a-lub-lub.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: It's our number two. Well, it was Abandon Brandon, but
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: apparently not anymore. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: of the Ben Maller Show. We are in the air everywhere.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Mono a model as we hit the high notes coast
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to coast, border to border, and beyond on the vast
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and sizably powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the mojo.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: As we effort to get our mojo back, not the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: mojo potatoes, guaranteed human from the world famous Fox Sports

• 3:13
  Speaker 1: we were shut out last hour on all those highfalutin
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Seahawk fans that love to talk trash and all that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And you're very, very quiet. Very, very, as I anticipated,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: front runner, bandwagoner. Not one of them could call up
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to defend their team. And I don't blame them. Not
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: one of them could call up to defend Sam Darnold.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I don't blame them. I don't. I get it. I understand.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: But our lead this hour is not from the Bears
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: molly whopping. the Seattle football team. Our lead is from
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the high-speed sports wire, where estranged 49er wide receiver Brandon Iook.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Remember him? Yeah, yeah. He had a couple of good games,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and the Niners gave him a big contract, and then
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: he decided, ixnay on the football, eh, I'm out. Well,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Brandon Iook has decided that he apparently wants back in,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and if you want to get back in the NFL,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and you're on the naughty list, who are you going
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to call? That's right. You contact agent Drew Rosenhaus, who's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: apparently attempting to do the unthinkable, the unimaginable, to somehow
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: finagle the wide receiver Brandon Iyuk back into the NFL.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this or not. Perhaps not.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Brandon Iyuk last played in October of 2024. I don't
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: know if you know this, but it's now November of 2026.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Where has the time gone? That's a couple years. He
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: had his leg all torn up, tore up his ACL,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: his MCL, his meniscus. It was like pulled pork. And
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: San Francisco then voided like $ 27 million of money. $ 27
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: million of guaranteed money. That happened in the summer of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of 2025 after the wide receiver decided that he did
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: not want to speak to the coaches of the front
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: office and said, I'm out of here. I'm not going
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to check in. It's kind of like how you have
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: probation and you have to check in with your probation officer.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: He didn't want to check in with his probation officer.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: He said, screw that. I'm not doing that. So the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: 49ers put him in contractual purgatory, and that's where he
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: has been on the reserve left squad. Essentially went AWOL.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: He went AWOL. And in order to get back, he
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: has to first petition the NFL for reinstatement before he
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: can return. There's a lot of paperwork. It's a bureaucracy.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: The NFL is a giant bureaucracy. It's a multi-billion dollar
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: bureaucracy with a lot of red tape, a lot of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: corporate weasels that are involved in the NFL. Back in
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the old days when it was run by gamblers, you
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: want to play? All right, here's a uniform. Here's some
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: shoulder pads. Go out there and play. Knock yourself out. Now,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you've got a petition for reinstatement under the NFL. The
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: 49ers still control, technically, Brandon Iyok's rights, but it's unlikely
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that there's much that's going to happen in terms of
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a trade. This has got to happen quick because the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: trade deadline is one week from today. Today, the third
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: day of November. So you've got another week to go here.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: One week. And he has to get the red tape done,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and then the Niners have to decide what they want
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to do. There were some efforts made, allegedly, to trade him,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: but he was such a knucklehead on social media and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: all that, it didn't work out. So most likely the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: scenario is that if he does come back, he's going
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to end up being released by the 49ers and then
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: will be free to roam around the NFL. But that's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Can Super Agent Drew Rosenhaus... Rescue, 49ers wide receiver. I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: say that loosely. Brandon Iook, save his career, or is
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: this mission impossible? Has he burned all the bridges? Brandon Iook,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and this is just a big waste of time. So
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I've got Mr. T, Plinko, and Oxolato. And we will
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together. And we are going
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to go up the mountain. Not around the mountain. We're
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: going to go up the mountain is what we're going
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to do. Now, number one.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Number one.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: One, one, one, one.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Number one.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: One, one, one, one.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Number one.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: One.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Number one. All right, Brandon Iook just pulled off one
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of the great acts of career self-sabotage. They will write books.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: They will teach classes on how incompetent this particular human
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: being is. In NFL history, there have been a few
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: players that stand out. In my time, I've been doing
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: this a long time, Le'Veon Bell, sitting in a hammock,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: wearing a banana hammock, drinking cocktails in Miami rather than
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: playing on the franchise tag, sitting out an entire year. Dum-da-dum-dum-dum.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And this is actually more impressive because this knucklehead, Iook,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: somehow ended up costing himself almost double what Le'Veon Bell,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I know because of inflation and all that, $ 27 million.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I believe Le'Veon Bell was like $ 12 million to $ 13 million,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: somewhere in that area. back years ago, $ 27 million in
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: guaranteed money that was yours. All you have to do
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: is return a phone call, return a text. That's it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And he just ditched meetings. He ghosted. He ghosted the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: team like it was a relationship and he was dosed.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Somehow he ghosted Chick or whatever. Chick ghosted you. He
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: ghosted a team. Who does that? So first, we mentioned
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: he has to get reinstated. to the NFL before the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: 49ers can do anything in terms of releasing him or
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: trading him and all that stuff. Now, Kyle Shanahan and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: John Lynch have made it perfectly clear, perfectly clear, that
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: he will never play another snap in the Bay Area.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: That means he will not be practicing near the electronic
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: substation there. So that's good news for him. Shanahan shutting
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: down a reunion. Remember, the Niners needed some help at
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: wide receiver. And they said, yeah, we'd rather we'd rather
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: sign somebody out of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers practice squad
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: than this guy. All right. So now that said, I
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: am betting on this having a Disney like happy ending
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: for the player because Drew Rosenhouse, I was thinking about
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: this when I was making the long drive in. to
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the studio here. And Drew Rosenhaus is the football equivalent
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of Scott Boris. You know, if you're a baseball person,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Scott Boris is the most powerful person in baseball. He's
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: more powerful than the commissioner now Drew Rosenhaus is not
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: more powerful than the commissioner of the NFL however in
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the cartoon bubble in my head I'm going to date
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: myself but this is he's the Mr. T of the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: NFL Drew Rosenhaus is the Mr. T meaning if you
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: have a problem If no one else can help, if
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: you can find him, maybe, maybe you can hire the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: A-team led by Drew Rosenhaus. And Drew will spray some
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: WD-40 on the whatchamacallit, and he'll start the wheels moving
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit. And he has negotiated some absolute impossible deals.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhaus in his time in the NFL from his
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: compound in Miami. Now that said, this is one of
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: those deals that is going to require a priest, a magician,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and possibly a presidential pardon to get this done. But ultimately,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I believe it will happen. Not that it should happen,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: because if you're complete knucklehead and dingleberry, it's not for you.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: You can't Follow basic instructions and go get a real job.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: It appears that Brandon Ike's just run out of money,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: or he's realized that he has no tangible skills other
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: than catching a football, so he might as well go
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: back and play football. All right, meanwhile, to Arizona. We
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: have a changing of the Cardinals. Changing of the birds.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals, who just knocked off the Dallas football team,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: have demoted Jacoby Brissett. That means Gardner Minshew. Minshew Mania!
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: It's back! Gardner Minshew is back as a starting quarterback
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: in the NFL after that dramatic, hair-raising, unbelievable thrill ride
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: of a victory against the Cowboys. Minshew throwing not one,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: not two, but three touchdowns, rallying Arizona for a dramatic
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: overtime win. And what a great win that was for Minshew.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: And rookie Carson Beck... You might remember him from college
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: football last year. Carson Beck, he is now the backup.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: He has been upgraded, while former starter Jacoby Brissett has
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: been demoted to third string, get hemorrhoids on the bench guy.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Get some hemorrhoids on the bench, that's it. Coach Mike
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: LeFleur said he wants Beck, that would be the backup
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: quarterback now, Carson Beck, he wants Beck to develop with
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: more reps in practice, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Minshew's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: first test comes against Seattle. Not looking so tough, Seattle,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: are they? No, not that impressive. They got their pants
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: pulled down by the Bears in the Monday night game.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: All right, here's the question. With Gardner Minshew taking over
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: as QB number one, how is the Cardinal quarterback room
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: looking at this point? So the Cardinals quarterback room, we
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: are heading closer and closer, inch by inch, down the road.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And the Cardinals quarterback room is akin to a curio
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: cabinet at Sotheby's, the auction house. Everything has a price tag.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: You want that quarterback? How much, how much, how much?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: You can get the quarterback. Everything's got a price tag.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Everything is negotiable. Whoever you want, just make an offer.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: The only thing not for sale for the Arizona Cardinals
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: is the illusion that somehow they have one of these
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: guys that knows what they're doing at the quarterback position. No,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: they don't. No, they don't. So Jacoby Brissett and Gardner
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Minshew can both be yours if the price is right.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: All you have to do is hit that reserve price
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: at the Sotheby's auction house, and you can get either
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: one of those guys. And Jacoby Brissett, he's not really
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: riding the bench. That would be inappropriate to say that
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: he's riding the bench at this point. He has been
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: banished to quarterback Siberia. Hope you enjoy quarterback Siberia. Now, meanwhile,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: they're playing pigskin Plinko. is what they're doing here with
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew. They're dropping chips down the pegboard, and they're
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: bouncing around. They're waiting for the right offer. The price
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: is right. Come on down. Showcase showdown. Now, look, we
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: have been very clear over the years that we've done
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: this show that we are infected with the illness that
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: is Minshew mania. We are fans of Gardner Minshew. We've
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: been clear about that. But we're also realistic. We are
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: realistic about Gardner Minshew. He didn't suddenly become a franchise quarterback.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: That is not what happened here. He became the least
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: objectionable option in a room full of people that you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: really don't want to play quarterback in the NFL. So
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: he's the least bad of bad. You feel me on that? Yeah.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: And Gardner Minshew, he's kind of like the substitute teacher
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: of That everybody loves. You know that cool substitute teacher
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that lets you just watch movies all day or play
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: on your phone? That's a cool substitute teacher. And eventually, though,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: they become the full-time teacher and then nobody loves them anymore.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And it's like, well, that's no good. We don't want
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: you as our full-time teacher because you actually have to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: teach us. When you're a sub, you just have us
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: watch movies and all that. And that's it. And so
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: that's where Gardner Minshew is. And he comes in. He's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: got the mustache. That arrives. He puts on the jorts.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Everyone cheers. The crowd goes wild. And eventually the tent
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: collapses on the circus. And then that's it. All right. Meanwhile,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to L.A., we go injury update. Injury update. Miles Garrett.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: On the comeback trail, I remember when he used to
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: play in the NFL and put up great stats on
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: a bad Cleveland team. Well, Rams coach Sean McVay confirming
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: that the superstar pass rusher of years gone by, not
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: as a Ram. He used to be good for another team.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: But Miles Garrett is back at practice this week. He
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: missed seven, seven consecutive games. And the Rams will open
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a 21-0. day practice window, so 21 days to evaluate
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and decide whether they want to take him off injured reserve.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: McVay refusing, of course he is, refusing to commit to
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Myles Garrett playing Sunday against Washington. That would be the
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: team formerly known as the Redskins, saying it's a day-to-day approach. Well,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: thank you for that. Thank you for saying nothing. I
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. Here's the question. At some point, likely this week,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: if not the week after... He's going to play. So question,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: what are your expectations for Miles Garrett when he returns
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to ram it all day and ram it all night?
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: So one word. My expectations are one word. Supernova. That's
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: one word. Supernova. That's it. Not good. Supernova. I got
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: to see the ROI, return on investment. And the Rams
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: have to see the return on investment. The Rams paid big.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: They thought they were getting a cyborg. And by the way,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the guy Jeffrey Simmons, who the Bears gave up multiple
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: picks to get, that guy played like a cyborg. Miles
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Garrett plays like a model. He plays like a model.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: You got to be a cyborg. You got to go
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: out there. You got to have superhuman strength, speed, and stamina.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: All of that and a bag of chips. All of that.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: And instead, his debut back in Australia was a total abracadabra,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: now you see me, now you don't situation. Zero tackles.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: He did a bunch of cardio. It was a cardio
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: game for 40 snaps. And Garrett, no sacks, obviously played
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: 40 snaps, did nothing. Against the 49ers there. You know
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: who else had zero sacks in that game, by the way?
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Me.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I had zero sacks. And I am available if the
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Rams want me for the league minimum. For the league minimum,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I am available. So, so far, the Rams, they ordered
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the Supernova. They went online. They clicked the thingamajig. And
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: then they clicked the next day shipping. So they got that.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: And then they said, okay, how much? And then they
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: added the taxes and they put their credit card in
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: there and all that. So they ordered the Supernova and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: they got the Oxalato Nightlight. That's not, no, they wanted
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the Supernova. They didn't want the Oxalato Nightlight, but that's
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: what they got. So the idea was pairing, and I
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: don't think I'm wrong on this, pairing Miles Garrett and
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Aaron Donald was supposed to be Andre the Giant and
• 18:39

  Speaker 1: Daily Mail, the New York Post, all those, you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the few newspapers people actually read. Those are like the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: three of them. Although TMZ is not a newspaper. But

  Speaker 1: they're all going to be like, oh, Matt Maller, the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Maller show, the overnight radio show, overnight sports radio solved

  Speaker 1: world peace on election day. It's crazy in America. All right,

• 21:07
  Speaker 5: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maler
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific on
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: get anywhere else.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: on how football really works.
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: Continuity is very important. But what happens when you get
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize them,
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: then they want to hire them. And then you can't
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: stop a guy from trying to improve himself, but you
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: have to replace them.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Because once you understand what's going on inside the mind
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: own the team. I never owned a team.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

  Speaker 1: a lot. Most important thing you have is your time,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and you're spending it with us. How effing lucky are we?
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: If you'd like to be part of the show, we
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: have our friend Billy. Goes by his stage name, Weed
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Man Hippie. From Florida, he'll be in here. Saving the world.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Here to save the world.

  Speaker 1: Ask a Weed Man.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Do it!
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we need your questions. Hashtag Ask a Weed Man. Otherwise,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: we'll just be sitting here staring at each other. We
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: like to do that, too. I can't see anything. There's
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: lights everywhere. I can't. I thought it's better if you
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: have lights. No, but I can't see you. I mean,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I can see your shadow, your outline. It's so bright.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's fine. Lorraine is here. She's the
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: FSR tech queen. You can say hello to her right there.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: And Koopaloop at all Bronco fan. That's all Bronco fan.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Your comments can and will be used against you. In
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: the court of sports radio, so please act accordingly. Back
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: to it. The Bears win big in the Monday night
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: football game. Did a full Mallard monologue on that back.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Way back, back, back, back, back in our number one
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: as the Chicago Bears looking legit. It is only early November,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and a team that does not look legit, the once-proud
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, it appears they have morphed back into Loserville,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: as they are a 500 team. And I was told
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: by my friends in Seattle, I have a lot of
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: friends in Seattle now, a lot of them from this show,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: and they've informed me, they told me just a couple
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: weeks ago that the Rams are terrible. And they suck.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: And I looked at my NFL standings, and Seattle and
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the Rams have the same exact record. So that means,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: by using deductive reasoning, that means that the team from
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Seattle also sucks. We've figured that out. We've solved that dilemma.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: All right, let's welcome him in right now. He lives
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: in Florida. His heart is in New York. The man,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: the myth, the legend, our friend. His real name is Billy,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: but we call him by his stage name, Weed Man Hippie.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Hi, Ben.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: I love you.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Is this going to be the week? Is this the week?
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Let's change the world. Make it better and safe. Yeah.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Change the world.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: How's that going?
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: It's not going so good right now.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: No, it's not going well? No. I feel like this week,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: every time we have you on, I know this is
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: going to, it's after your time, Weed Man, but it's actually,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: it's old even now. There was this cartoon. You ever
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: see Pinky and the Brain? No, I've never heard of it. No,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: it's an old cartoon. Lorraine doesn't even know what it is, right? Yes,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I do. I love Pinky and the Brain. Remember the line?
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: It was like, gee, brain, what are we going to
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: do tonight? And you remember what the brain... What we
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: do every night, Pinky. Yeah. Take over the world. No,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: it was try to take over the world.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Try to take over the world.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: That was a cartoon called Animaniacs, Weed Man. That's you.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: You're trying to fix the world. Absolutely.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. Definitely. All right.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: There are people who argue that since today... Third rail,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: my man!
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Third rail!
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Since today is an election day that you could change
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the world. Are you voting, Weedman?
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: You are, really? I didn't realize you were voting. I
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: thought I was going to ask you that, and you said,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not voting. But you're voting. All right.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: So if everybody votes.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Republican, supposedly Trump's going to give everybody.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: $ 5, 000. Oh, I don't—never believe any politician that says they're
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: going to give you money.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: He said $ 500, not $ 5, 000.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: You know how— You don't need $ 5, 000. He'll give you
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: $ 5, 000 pesos is what he'll give you. And he's going
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: to have Mexico pay it, too.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: You know how much money that would be?
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: That would be so much money. The government couldn't afford that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Well, they did. Remember, during the pandemic, they were handing
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: out money, and that's one of the reasons the economy's
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: effed up now. Let's see, what is the... It is $ 5, 000.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: He was right. Is it $ 5, 000?
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: No. He promised $ 5, 000 cash payment, dubbed the Trump dividend.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Listen, no chance he does that. I'm not... How is
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: that possible?
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Well, he says if Republicans retain both the House and
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: the Senate in the midterms, that's.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Not going to happen. That's not happening. All right, let's
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: see here. All right, 5,000. Oh, yeah, 5,000. You know
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: how much 5,000 pesos in U.S. dollars is? Times 300
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: million people. That's impossible. No, no, it's 5,000 pesos is $ 269.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: So they could afford that. Ha, ha, ha. $ 269.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: 22, Weed Man. That's all that is there. Just absolutely great.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: All right, let's see. We got some questions for you.

• 29:14
  Speaker 1: have entered the month of November. What would your ideal meal... Now, usually,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I've noticed, I don't know if this is everywhere, but
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I know in L.A., a lot of the famous people
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: love to go down to the shelter and hand out
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: food to people down on their luck, and they make
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: sure there's a.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Well, that'd be great.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Well, they make sure there's a lot of cameras there
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: so they can get on TV and get on the Internet.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: But what's that There was a place where.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: I lived in South Beach. But here, I don't know
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: where to go here.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure that looking up on the Internet, you
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: can probably find it. King Roy says, will Weed Man
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: do his civil duty today? Or is he afraid that
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: he might be summoned to jury duty? There's no way
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: you'd end up on it.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: If you vote, they call you to jury duty. No,
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: I'm not really going to vote.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not. Because you have to register to vote, right?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Are you even allowed to vote? You've been arrested so
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: many times. Are you even able to vote? I don't know.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: I haven't.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: But I know when you vote, you get called to
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: jury duty. I wouldn't want to do that.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a little light. But who's going to put
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: you on a jury, Weedman? Seriously. Who's going to say,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: let's put Weedman on a jury? Right?
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: I don't think you'll pass the interview. Right?
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Exactly. They screen you and all that. And you'd have
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: to get to the courthouse. James writes in, He says,

  Speaker 1: would check the haul coop because there was... Remember the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: warning that there might be some kind of problem. Well,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: that'll make things a little interesting here on the show.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: All right. There's nothing management loves more than getting a
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: phone call on the overnight saying, hey, there's a problem.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: You might want to come down. Jackson writes in on
• 31:32

  Speaker 3: I think he sleeps like he sleeps walking.

  Speaker 4: He's sleeping. He doesn't know it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: It's just like he's in a dream.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: I don't sleep at all. I've got to get ambient.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right. I'm a terrible sleeper, too. I have
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: to do all kinds of things. I got a sleep mask.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I got blackout curtains. I got all this nonsense. I
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: got the total loser. If you were told, like, if
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: you were told, 10-year-old Ben, that you'd be a grown-up
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: and you'd have blackout curtains, a sleep mask, you'd get
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: all this stupid stuff, I'd be so embarrassed as a 10-year-old.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Here I am as an adult, and I have all
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Kathy and Madison says... What time do you sleep?
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: uh i don't know six or seven to like 11
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: or something like that not not like four or five

  Speaker 1: hours that's about it uh kathy and madison says listening

  Speaker 1: hollywood star weed man billy wow there you go all
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: right uh supermarket steve says uh hey ben uh why
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: don't you ask lisa the real Yankee fan, how she
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: feels about the manager of the Brewers' comments about the Yankees.
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Well, I am so confused that they even won the
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: World Series.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I'm in shock.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: And one thing it does show is that having the
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: highest payroll does not.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Mean you're going to win the World Series. So that's
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: my comment.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Well, okay.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Okay. I'm just saying, that's my comment. I'm in shock.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: What about you, Ben? Well, there's a lot going on here.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I'm happy the Brewers won. I didn't, you know, the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Dodgers didn't deserve to win last year, so they've got
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: some issues. Hoosier Bill says, shout out Weedman. You're getting
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: a shout out, Weedman. There you go. Who's your bill?
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Shane in Des Moines writes in and says, would you
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: mind asking Weed Man on this midterm election day, who
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: was the first or last president he ever voted for?
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: That's a good question from Shane in Des Moines. Have
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: you ever voted for President Weed Man?
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: I think the last president I ever voted for was
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Ronald Reagan.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Man, that's 40 years ago, dude. I think that's before
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I was born. Wow. It's been a minute.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Does anyone remember Ross Perot?
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm old. I remember Ross Perot. He
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: was taking over the world, right? He was a hot candidate.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: That would have been great.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: A third-party candidate. That would have been great.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that the last one that really had a shot?
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: And he didn't even do well. All right. What else
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: do we have?
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Let's see.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Page down. Oh, man, look at the time here, Weed Man.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: My God. Oh, yeah. By the way, here's one for Lisa.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: What is Lisa's hot sports take of the week?
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Ooh.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Hot sports take of the week.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: I have to think about that for a moment.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: All right. Take your time. Weed Man, did you see
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: LeBron James drinking from a fan's cup? Remember, did you
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: see that? There was a highlight in the Sixers game.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: LeBron sipped out of a glass. I don't know if
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: it was wine or whatever it was. He drank out
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: of the cup. Now, back during the pandemic, he would
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: have been sent to Guantanamo Bay back during the pandemic,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: but now he's all right.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: LeBron came from Philadelphia. That's just unbelievable.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: It is pretty crazy. All right. On that note, we
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: thank you both. Lisa, thank you so much. Get some
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: sleep there. And Weed Man.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: I love you, Jay.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: We love you both. You're a great couple, you two.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: We love you both. All right, take care. There they go,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Lisa and Weed Man. Lisa's in New York. Weed Man,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: of course, in Florida. And the good times of the
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: good times rule. Time now for the Insta trivia. Are
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: they going to be giving like oxygen tanks? I'm like,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: this cannot be healthy to breathe. Oh, you think burning,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: you know, the smell of burning electrical stuff is good?
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, I'm sure it's nothing. I'm sure
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: it's just a, it's all just a misunderstanding. And I'm
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: sure it's just your imagination. That there's a thick odor
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: of something like that. That we can all smell.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: It's just your imagination. Time now for the Insta Trivia.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Here it is. Insta Trivia time. Blank is the quarterback
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: that has committed an NFL-high 28 turnovers since the start
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: of last season. That is three more than Justin Herbert
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: of the Chargers. Again, blank. is the quarterback that has
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: committed an NFL-high 28 turnovers since the start of last season,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: three more than Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. That's the instant trivia.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: The answer, we'll get to it, we'll do it next.

• 37:50
  Speaker 1: time now for the payoff on the Instant Trivia. Blank
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: is the quarterback who has committed an NFL-high 28 turnovers
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: since the start of last season. Somehow that's three more
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: than Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. That is the question. What
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: is the answer? And what do we have here? Femi
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: got it right, obviously cheating. Leslie Nielsen from ALF, the
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: alien opponent, has got a fun fact. Don't have time
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: for that. Sarah Lee. Apple turnovers from our friend Stevie Meatballs.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Frank Drebin from King Rory, the legend. What else do
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: we have? Page down. Fire Marshall Cooper from Not a Burner.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Pepperidge Farm makes the most turnovers from Rolf. What say you, Lorena?
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: My Uncle Vinny. Uncle Vinny. Fine movie. That is incorrect.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: It is none other than Sam Darnold, the turnover machine
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. Leads the league since the start of last season.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Most turnovers in the NFL. Here we go. Here we go.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: Here we go.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Here we go. How about that?
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: No snap judgment over to the Koopa Loop for the
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: reading of the questions, although it will not sound like
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: he's reading. Go ahead, Koopa Loop.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: And Aaron Glenn says that they are not going to
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: trade Brees Hall. He says they're in the business of
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: keeping good players, and he's one of the better players,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: so he'll be here. They've also reportedly rebuffed overtures from
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: teams with Garrett Wilson. Do you think that they're actually
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: not going to trade either of these two guys?
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: No, I've learned over the years to never believe what
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: coaches say. They will lie right to your face. I've
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: also had some bosses that will lie right to my face.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: But NFL coaches do not believe them, Koopaloop. And if
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: somebody comes up with the right amount in terms of
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: trade value, then it'll be an inconvenience for the Jets,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: but they will trade anybody. Who's untradeable on the Jets?
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: They're the same crappy Jets they've always been.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Next.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. who I believe is with the Chargers now. Yes,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: back with the Chargers.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: He was asked about trade chatter surrounding him and his team.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: He said, you've got to be where your feet are, man, ultimately.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: That's what I say.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: He's 35 years old. He's got a few sacks this season.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Do you think there would be any trade interest in
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Khalil Mack?
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you don't have to give up anything. He's
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: a savvy veteran. You figure for a couple of months
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: you can give him some magic dust and you can
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: get a couple of big plays out of him. Out
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: of him. So I think that would be a mutually
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: beneficial situation. Next.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Larry Zonka posted a picture of him celebrating with a
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: cigar and a drink after the Vikings lost. I believe
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: there are like 24 players left from the 72 Dolphins.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I'm impressed.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: What do you think happens first? They all die or
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: a team wins, you know?
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, they're all, I mean, I hate to say it,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: but they'll be going across the pearly gates. How'd we do?
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: He passes. That's a winner! Winner, winner, winner. Winner, winner, winner. Winner, winner, winner.
