• 1:27
  Speaker 1: highways and byways of North America and beyond. We're the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: only addiction that's good for you. In some ways.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: In some ways.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm going with that. I'm going with that. Coast
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to coast, border to border, and beyond, on the vast
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and uncontrollably powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the bout.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: As we say, forget about it here. Guaranteed human. World
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: famous Fox Sports Radio studios. You know all that. And
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: so I got a message from my guy, Inca Terror.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Classically trained musician who is so great, gives us his
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: time every year for the Malheur Palooza when we want
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: him to come on and help us out there. It's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: either Him or Jay Scoop, and those guys have been
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: great over the years, and Trucker Joe, Filler Up Phil,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Fudgy in Boston, all these guys. Dave the Trashman. They
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: all say, listen, even Danny DeVito, the trash guy Danny,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: they say, we need Express. And I'm here for it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: If you work in logistics, you know nothing moves without you.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Companies need skilled people now and Express employment professionals now.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: can help you find contract or full-time work that fits
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: at no cost to you. Visit ExpressPros.com, get support, get options,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and get to work. So the big story, we talked
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: about it earlier, it's on the podcast, developing overnight, is
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: what could be a dramatic changing of the guard in
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: college football as LSU has won round one. Lane Kiffin
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and LSU... They got a friendly judge, home field advantage
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: there in Baton Rouge, who ruled that for now, LSU
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: can play former NFL players, guys that were in training
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: camp in the NFL. LSU's also trying to add another
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: former NFL player who got released in training camp. So
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that's a developing story. Today, on this Friday, the Southeastern
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Conference will try to get an injunction. They're going to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: federal court. This is now a federal case. It's wild
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and crazy and... It's also, and I don't want to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: talk about some other things here, but the quick take
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: on LSU and Lane Kiffin and all that, if this
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: ends up working out for them, then obviously this changes
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the entire landscape in college football. And people are saying
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: it's a one-time thing because of the 2022 class. I disagree.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Lawyers will say, well, these guys are getting paid anyway,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and it's not true. An easy argument against that. They
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: are getting paid at the big-time football clearinghouses. So we'll
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: see how this plays out. Our lead this hour, though,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: is from the card. What kind of card? Well, that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: would be a report card. Yes, the athletic, the old
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: gray lady, the old gray lady, they concluded their investigation
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of former and currently disgraced NFL insider Diana Rossini and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: her relationship. And boy, did they have a good time,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: those kids there. A little footsie and a little cuddle
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: cuddle there with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, which would have
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: been less of a problem if they weren't both married.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: A clear violation also of the journalistic standards of the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: old gray lady, the athletic, the Russini files, if you will,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: determined that she failed to disclose the relationship despite rules
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: requiring journalists to reveal potential conflicts involved. Affecting credibility and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: all that good stuff and partiality. You know the drill.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And everywhere you work, it's this weird deal because everywhere
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you work, you're like, they don't want you to hang out.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And I can't use a certain word here, but enjoy
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the company of your fellow co-workers. You know what I'm
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: saying there? And that's more for legal stuff. They don't
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: want to get sued because if you break up, it
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: becomes a very toxic workplace situation. But most people end
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: up meeting who becomes their significant other at work. Of course,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: these two people had already found their significant other. So
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: it becomes a little more complicated also. Now, Rossini initially
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: described the relationship, according to The Athletic, as close with
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel. I would agree. She wasn't wrong. But she
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: said strictly professional. Was that after the fourth or fifth
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: shrimp cocktail that Vrabel bought for her? I don't know.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Investigators said her explanation of the photos with Vrabel, and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: there were many, did not align with the facts. You think? Now,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the Athletic claimed they reviewed 903 stories. God, that must
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: have been boring. 77 videos, 204 podcasts. Holy crap. Who
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: wants to do that? Roughly 25 outside appearances, many of
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: them probably right here at Fox Sports Radio, to be
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: honest with you. The daytime shows love Diana Rossini. And anyway,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: they interviewed a bunch of other people, 14 employees, etc. Now,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: investigators claim they found no evidence, no evidence that Diana
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Rossini falsified or slanted coverage to benefit her big hunk,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel. And no inaccuracies found. In any of the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Vrabel-related stories. All right, that is a good jumping-off point.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: We'll hop off the bandwagon. Let us discuss the question.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: How did you review the athletics review, the athletics report card,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: on disgraced NFL insider Diana Rossini. So I've got OJ Simpson,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Chevron with Tecron, and bumper sticker. And we will combine
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: all of these things together, and we're going to make
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: one's skin crawl. Well, we enjoy some jambalaya, a little
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: baba ganoush, the gabagoo. We'll have some matzo ball soups,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a pastrami sandwich, and we're good to go. A little
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: French onion soup as well. So first of all, you
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: know what? I'll get matzo ball soup. It's Jewish penicillin.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: We'll get you some of that. You'll be good to go.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So first of all, the Athletic, I love these investigations
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: are so over the top in sports. The NBA spent
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a year investigating the Clippers. The Athletic needed five months,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: five months the Athletic needed to discover what everybody else
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: figured out in five minutes they needed five months everyone
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: with any common sense knew what was going on after
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: those five photographs popped up and yet they had to
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: check 903 stories and 200 podcast blah blah blah blah
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: blah blah did they check common sense does anyone over
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: there at the athletic have common sense my god this
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't Church and state. It was church and state sharing
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a poolside cabana in Arizona. So you're the NFL insider.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: You're publicly canoodling an NFL head coach. And what are
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: we investigating? The weather in Sedona? She didn't cover synchronized
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: swimming when she was at the pool. My God, she
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: was an NFL person or reporter or whatever. But here's
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the deal. They say because they couldn't prove favorable coverage.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: They acted like the conflict, I guess, wasn't that bad.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: It was not great. Didn't totally disappear. Reading the review,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I got the vibe it was O.J. Simpson-like. Now, if
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you're old enough to remember, there was this very famous
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: football player named O.J. Simpson. He chopped two people's heads off,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: made them look like Pez dispensers, and he got away
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: with that in a criminal trial because the prosecution in L.A.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: were a bunch of numbskulls, and they got away with it.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: So then O.J. went to a civil trial, and it's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: kind of like that, like O.J. 's civil trial version
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: of journalism where Diana Rossini was– Guilty-ish. And OJ, according
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to the court system, was guilty. It's like going to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Wells Fargo, and then Wells Fargo, they say, well, yeah,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the teller violated company policy here at the bank, but
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the cash drawer balances out, so we're good.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: They found a clear violation of And they, I think
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: this was like 2,800 words or something like that, putting
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: bubble wrap around the verdict. And they didn't throw the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: book at her. She doesn't work there anymore anyway. They
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: gently placed it on the coffee table, the book, and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: bureaucracy at its finest. Guilty, time served. Have a nice cupcake.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: The sprinkles are really good. Oh, I can have some sprinkles.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I think I'll have the one
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: with the most sprinkles on it. That sounds good. And
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: there are already reports that she's going to be back.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: The NFL season is about to begin, and whether it
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: happens next week or in the next month or so,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: supposedly Diana Rossini will return. I need my NFL insider coverage.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I know all the coaches in the NFL are going
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to be excited to see Diana Rossini. All right, now secondly,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to Bill Belichick land. You'd think after North Carolina traveled
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: to Dublin and picked up a dub, got a win
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: there over TCU last weekend, weekend zero. You'd think it
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: would be all sunshine, rainbows, and lollipops for Bill Belichick.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: No.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: North Carolina football whacked Michael Lombardi. Now, they say he resigned.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Does anyone resign from these jobs? Come on. No, the answer,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I think, I've never met anyone who truly resigned. I've
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: heard people say they resigned. I've never seen someone that
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: actually did resign. Typically, the only reason you would resign
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: is because you're about to be fired. So it was
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: just over a month after North Carolina placed Lombardi on
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: paid administrative leave. There was an investigation. Now, Lombardi is
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a longtime confidant of Bill Belichick. He's in Belichick's inner circle.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And as a result of being besties with Bill, the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: ex-Pats coach Bill Belichick made Lombardi the highest paid, highest
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: paid general manager in all the land. I read that
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: he made $ 1. 5 million annually. How do you F up
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a $ 1. 5 million job? Well, he certainly had been trying
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: for years. Didn't he go over to the Middle East
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: there to try to get some of that oil money
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: for North Carolina? I remember reading about that. Anyway, he said, wink, wink, nudge, nudge,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that leaving was, quote, best for me. Lombardi, he said,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and would allow North Carolina to focus on the season
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: because I'm sure all the players were worried about Mike Lombardi.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they couldn't concentrate on the field. Yeah, right. Anyway,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the controversy extended way beyond Lombardi. Investigators are examining whether
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: or not the spawn of Bill, defensive coordinator Steve Belichick,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: used drugs at work, which is bad. And then the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: other issue is apparently he was, according to the story
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that I read, as I understand it, he was accused
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of peddling drugs to players. Who goofed? I've got to know. Yeah,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: they also reportedly investigated alleged sexual relationships involving a recruiting
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: staff member, a player, and even some assistant coaches. Man,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: they had a good time there in North Carolina. Man,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: of course, that kind of happens all over college football. Yeah,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: somehow they always find the hottest women to be part
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: of the recruiting departments. I don't know how that is.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I've never, ever seen anyone ugly. They never get a
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: homely woman and say, hey, can you go help us
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: get recruits? Why don't they do that? All right, question.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I can't figure it out. Question. Michael Lombardi out at
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: North Carolina amid reports the Tar Heels football program has
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: been involved in all of the debauchery. with inappropriate relationships
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: between recruiting staff members and players and Belichick's kid and
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: whether players were getting drugs and whatnot. So where does
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: your mind go? Like, where does this take your mind
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: on this latest revelation with North Carolina? So it's a
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: bit of a day to reference, but it's National Lampoon's
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Animal House relocating to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, running an
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: ACC football program with Belichick, like the Delta Tau Chai
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: with shoulder pads. The whole thing. And, you know, sex, drugs,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: and rock and roll. That classic late 70s song back
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: in the day there. And the Tar Heels, Belichick, his
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: bestie Michael Lombardi there, who's now been excommunicated, which is
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: bad on two levels it's bad for him he lost
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: 1.5 million it's also bad for people because you know
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: he's just going to do a podcast again uh all
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: these investigations and all that stuff so meanwhile um bill's
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: kid was allegedly visiting dr feelgood and that's another massive
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: headache in year two for belichick who's got a 50
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: million dollar deal And we don't know the details on that.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: There was a famous story. The most famous son involved
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: in drugs in sports. And I was a young lad
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: back in the day. But there was a guy named
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yogi Berra who was a Yankee legend. Absolute Yankee legend.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And his kid, Dale Berra, not a legend. He was
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates. And as our friend from
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Memphis would say, he really loved the Colombian Bam Bam.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Dale Berra. And there was a big. drug scandal in
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the in the i think it was in the 80s
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and uh yeah a bit of a bit of a
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: mess times are different now so it's not as big
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: a deal as it was back then now so if
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: you look at belichick right now from 30 000 feet
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: in the sky we all know that if you win
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you turn controversy into what controversy becomes music what kind
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: of music elevator music everyone hears it But nobody pays attention.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: You look the other way. The moment you lose that
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: elevator music, well, it's no longer elevator music. That noise
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: turns into Chevron with Tecron, high-octane gasoline poured directly onto
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the fire. Crank it up to 11 on Belichick's chair.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: And you win. Scandal's just a footnote. And you say, oh,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the boys will be boys. You lose, and the footnote
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: becomes the entire book. And welcome to Chapel Hill, the
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: toga party optional. And victory is mandatory. Years ago in
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: my early days in radio, I was at an event
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: where the living— this was many, many years ago. They had
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: an anniversary party for Animal House. It was in Westwood,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: right near the UCLA campus. I was doing local radio,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and my boss thought to honor Animal House, they would
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: have me and my friend Dave Smith, who I was
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: doing the show with, the Ben and Dave show, we
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: would dress up in togas. And it was one of
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the most awkward, it was like a humiliation ritual. I
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: showed up to do the show, and we had to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: go to the bathroom at this restaurant in Westwood and
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: change out of our clothes into a toga. And we
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: then stood on Westwood Boulevard with cars coming, you know, big,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: busy part of L.A. And it was what a pain
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: in the ass. I'm still bitter about that. There you go. Anyway,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Final thought, we go to Dallas.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Dallas we go. The Cowboys reworking some contracts. They belong
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: to defensive tackle Kenny Clark, quarterback Daron Bland, and tight
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: end Jake Ferguson. And Dallas, I read that they have
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: now created– More than $ 19 million in additional salary cap
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: space as the regular season begins next week. Dallas generating
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: enough room, we are told, to acquire a frontline NFL
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: player by moving around three contracts. They also did not
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: have to release anyone. So they're now going to be
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: able to make a mega trade. Of course, they're not
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: going to make a mega trade, are they? We don't
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: think they're going to make a mega trade. The question, though,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: is this. Give me the lesson. I would like the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: lesson from the Cowboys reworking contracts to get an extra
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: $ 19 million in salary cap space. So the salary cap
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: is the biggest con job in sports. And every year,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: you people fall for it. You fall for it every year.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Not me. I'm a salary cap truther. The capologists are basically...
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: hogwarts accountant supermarket steve they're hogwarts accountants waving their little
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: calculators around and they're warning us that teams are headed
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to salary cap hell yeah oh my god remember the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: rams won the super bowl a few years ago and
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: i was told they had no picks and they had
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: no salary cap space and they were never going to
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: be good again and They've pretty much been a playoff
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: team almost every year, and now they're the top team
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: in NFL football going into this year. And y'all told me.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: me they had no future. They were in salary cap hell.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: You lied to me. So anyway, it was a salary
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: cap hell. And then September arrives and like Lazarus, come
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: on down, right? The dead money rises again. More proof
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: of my bumper sticker on the Malamobile. It has three
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: words on it. Cap is crap. That's the bumper sticker.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: And as they told us on the iconic Wolf of
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Wall Street movie, it's fugazi, it's fugazi, it's fairy dust,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the salary cap. Yesterday, Dallas supposedly had just $ 14 million
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: in cap space, and all of a sudden... They have
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: more than $ 30 million to add a nice big-name player.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: They just created $ 19 million like Jerry Jones owns the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Federal Reserve. This just in, he doesn't. So, again, abracadabra, hocus-pocus,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. The Cowboys, like a rabbit coming out
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: of the flying helmet, you know, the helmet's flying through there,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the rabbit jumps out. So spare me the next breathless
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: lecture by some poindexter about the NFL, I can't afford
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: this player, that team's in trouble. No, it's just an excuse.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: NFL teams love the salary cap because they can manipulate
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: it however they want, and they can say we can't
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: add any good players because of the cap and all
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: this bullcrap. Don't tell me what an owner can't afford.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Tell me what the owner doesn't want to afford, doesn't
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: want to pay for. It is the Ben Maller Show.

• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I read all seven of those books, and I don't
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: remember there being accountants at Hogwarts. Do you mean the
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: goblins that run Gringotts Bank? Maybe if you watched more
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: than the first movie, you wouldn't sound like such a muggle.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you. Appreciate that. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right. What
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: do we got here? Let's see. Page down. I can't
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: read that. All right. What else? Alfie says, I thought
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: you were known as the sensitive sniffer, but it sounds
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: more appropriate for the queen, FSR tech queen today. All right.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Mad Jack writes in, says, it's too bad Lorena is sick.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I wanted her to ask her to date night at

  Speaker 1: Let's go to Jeff, who's in Tampa. What's going on, Jeff?
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Welcome.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: You're on the Ben Maller Show on Fox. Hello, Jeff. Welcome. Ben,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: good morning.
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: I'm actually, you teed this up for me.
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't stay on hold this long.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: I had to get this in.
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: Love your show.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: It's funny.
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: It's fantastic. Thanks for keeping me company. I'm driving from
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: Buffalo to Tampa. So that being said, where do you
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: feel it's been?
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: I had to get back to you on most of
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: what I can't tell you that I've seen in the
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: parking lot or in.
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: The stadium at Rich, Ralph Wilson, or now Highmark Stadium.
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: But you mentioned the troughs and the stakes. So around
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: college years, I had friends.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: That would go to the stadium in snowmobile suits because
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: it's cold, it's snowy, they'd sit in their seats.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: But they would never use the restrooms. And I can
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: tell you why.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Because they wore Depends. They would do their business at
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: the seats. And it's either brilliant or disgusting.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: Depending on how you look at it as a Bills fan.
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: So I had to get that in the good words
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: of Josh Allen.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: God bless.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Do good. Be good.
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: Go Bills.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: All right, boy. Be safe driving from Buffalo to Tampa.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: There he goes. The Bills, they do it differently in Buffalo.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: They do. Ferg Dog says, Hey, Ben, can you tell
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Mike in Dallas next time he calls that his bad
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: takes make the rest of us happy? Mike's look bad.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Knock it off, Mike, he says. Oh, you're Ferg— you' re not Mike,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: you're Fergdog. What are you talking about? My goodness, there.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: My goodness. All right, what else do we have? See,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: page down. I can't— Can't read that. All right. Let's
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: see here. We do have the Coop Scoop on entertainment.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: That'll be coming up in a couple minutes. Let's take
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: another call. Let's go to Frank the Tank, my guy
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: in Iowa. Hello, Frank the Tank. Welcome.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: How's it going, Bill?
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: What's up, my man? Frank, you have amazing takes. I
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: cannot wait for these takes. It's amazing takes.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Who do you think is going to be winning the
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: NFC North and who's going to win the division? Because
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I've heard from a couple of outside sources that.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Frank, how many years have you been calling me, Frank?
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Let's see. I know it's been about 11, 11 or 12.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: And how many years have you called me up and
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: asked me who I thought was going to win the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: NFC North, Frank?
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: By 11 or 12?
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I've been a Viking fan for 13 years, 14 years. No,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: take that back.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Take that back.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I've been 23. Is that right?
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: All right. Listen, I'm happy for you. I just know.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: You know, I used to be a Steelers fan before that.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, you changed. I don't know if you're allowed to.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: You must have been a kid when that happened, I
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: would hope, right? I would hope that was the case.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: And they actually used to call me Franco.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, is that right? They called you Franco? Yeah, they
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: used to.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Call me Franco Harrison. I kind of look like him.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see. I get the reference. Any college football
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: games you like? Anything you like this weekend in college football?
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's one. There were one or maybe two.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking of Iowa State. But then I had a
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: relative that went there. And then I was thinking about
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: local here, the local school here, Drake.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: They're okay.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: They're okay. I can't complain there.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I am going to give out an exclusive Malheur selection.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Malheur selection here. And I was looking over on DraftKings.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: The game that I'm focused on is on Saturday, tomorrow.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: LSU is hosting Clemson. This is the game, right?
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's in Baton Rouge.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And LSU, you say first game, jitters and all that.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: LSU is going, they're favored by 10 on DraftKings. I
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: normally take the points. I would normally take the points.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: But in this case, I'm not. I'm going to lay
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the lumber on LSU. They will win this game in
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: a blowout. And that's it. By the way, I said
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: they're playing clubs. And by the way, the wait is over.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Football is here, and so is DraftKings. DraftKings is now
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: live in all 50 states. One app, every sport, all
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: 50 states. Right now, use the promo code MALLER to
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's promo code
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: MALLER at DraftKings. The crown is yours! How does that read, Frank?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Was that good?
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Just great.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Frank. I got to go.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: All right, go away. All right, right now, let's go
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: with Marcel. You're my voiceover guy. You know what time
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: it is, Marcel. Come on. Come on, Marcel.
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: Oh, yes, it is.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Coop Scoop on Entertainment.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: It's a Friday tradition. We made it through the Labor
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: Day weekend.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Hooray for Hollywood.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Hit the music, Lorena.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: And it starts now.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Here's Justin Cooper.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: At Op Uncle Fan on X.
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: All yours.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Marcel. As always here on Coop's Hoopin' Entertainment,
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: we're going to start off in the movie theaters. Opening
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: this weekend, a couple of movies I want to point out.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: First one is called By Any Means. And now this, yes,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: this is based on a true story. A young black
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: FBI agent played by Yaha Abdul-Mateen II is... Oh. Yeah.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Not familiar with his work, but... Me either.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: Me either.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: He's sent into 1960s Mississippi to investigate a wave of
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: brutal killings targeting civil rights leaders. He's forced to work
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: alongside notorious mafia hitman Greg Scarpa, who is played by
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Mark Wahlberg.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I'm glad they're still making mob movies. That's good. Yeah.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Finds himself pulled into a deadly hunt where justice and
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: vengeance begin to blur.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Ah, okay.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Also starring in this one is Giancarlo Esposito of Breaking
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Bad fame.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Looks pretty good. Reviews so far are.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: I'd say mediocre to good. But I'm going to check
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: it out. Mark Wahlberg, you know, looks like he puts.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: On an interesting performance. All that money, and he's still...
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I heard those Wahlbergers. He made a ton of money
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: on those Wahlbergers.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: That's what I heard.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Never been there. I don't think I maybe was there once,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't memorable because I don't obviously remember. Right.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. Yeah.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Another movie I want to point out, this is called
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Fall 2 Deadpoint. Now, you may remember a number of
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: years ago, I'd say like, I don't know, maybe like
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: three to four years ago, there was a movie called
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Fall where it was these two women trapped on top
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: of this tower way up in the sky.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: It was actually a pretty good movie. I watched it.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: It was One of those, you know, sweaty palms type
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: of movies where you're just sitting there in the theater.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: You're like, you're uncomfortable the whole time. This one tries to,
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: you know, play off that same experience. It follows two
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: new characters. This time they're on a perilous climb across
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Thailand's Mount Kwan. And they become trapped thousands of feet
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: above the ground. Now, the reviews on this one, not
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: quite as good as the first one. I don't know
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: if that's just because it's no longer like a unique
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: idea or if it's just simply not as good. But
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: I'm sure it's exciting either way. I will probably check
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: that out. That's in theaters right now. Fall 2, Deadpoint. Now,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: moving on to television. We have a new movie on Netflix.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Apple TV. It's called Mayday. It is available to stream
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: right now. It is an action comedy from the writer, director,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: doer of Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daly. They did
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Dungeons and Dragons, Honor Among Thieves. That was very popular.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: This one finds Ryan Reynolds playing a U.S. Navy pilot
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: stranded behind enemy lines while on a top secret mission
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: in the USSR. He forms an unlikely bond with an
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: ex-KGB agent.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Ooh.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that one's got, again, kind of, you know, OK reviews.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: And last but not least is a new series on
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Apple TV. This one doesn't premiere until Wednesday, September 9th.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: It's called Last Scene, and it is a six part
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Australian thriller where a police dispatcher receives a distress call
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: from a teenage girl whom he believes to be his
