• 0:26
  Speaker 1: have popped up recently. Also, with Vaughn Miller and Dakota
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Prescott publicly backing Brian Schottenheimer, does their support take the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: heat off the Cowboys head coach? We'll examine that. And
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Stephen Jones says the Cowboys are close to turning things around. Wink, wink, nod, nod.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Is he seeing something the rest of America is missing?

• 3:18
  Speaker 1: this hour... is from the cheese. We go to Green Bay, Wisconsin.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And we did have a Monday night game last night
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: where the Chicago Bulls kicked the tuchus of the Seattle Seahawks,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the once proud Seattle Seahawks. Still pitching a shutout, by
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the way. We're on one of the biggest sports talk
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: radio stations. In fact, I think it is the biggest
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. And we've had a radio shutout. All those
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: blowhard Seahawks fans that always call the show and love
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to be braggadocious. Very quiet. Very quiet. Very quiet there
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. Anyway, the Packers made an announcement. Well, an
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: announcement of sorts. The Packers have decided they're going to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: stand by their man, Josh Jacobs, despite some newly released allegations.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Three additional women have come on down, and they've lined
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: up to accuse Josh Jacobs of doing naughty things. Coach
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Matt LeFleur... Expects Josh Jacobs to remain with Green Bay.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: The NFL has reopened their investigation. Whee! Jacobs had pled
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: no contest to a couple of misdemeanors stemming from a
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: domestic abuse incident. He missed six games on the NFL's
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: naughty list. He then came back and had a touchdown
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and also went viral for his touchdown celebration. Now, his attorney...
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: strongly denied the additional allegations. It's hard to believe that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: your attorney would deny the allegations. He'd have to be
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the worst attorney ever. You imagine if Josh Jacobs' attorney said, yeah, yeah,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: he did it. Guilty. Guilty.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: You're fired.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: He'd be like the worst lawyer. The first day of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: law school, if they pay you, they cut you a check,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: your client is not guilty. Okay. Thank you. Appreciate that.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: You now pass the bar. And one of the cool
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: things about doing this show, we have a lot of
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: old dudes who used to be lawyers and women, but
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: most of the dudes reach out. And so they'll email me.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And they'll give me like legal, free legal advice, which
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: is kind of cool. And these are like good lawyers
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: because they've worked their whole life. You know, they're retired
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: now and they can't sleep because everyone's got insomnia when
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you get older. And it's wonderful. It's just freaking great. Anyway,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the NFL still could further discipline lawyers. Mr. Jacobs. That
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping-off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Are you surprised? We'll use that word. Are you surprised
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the Packers coach, Matt LeFleur, is continuing his public support,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: although it was muted, of running back Josh Jacobs? So
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I've got Starbucks, Foster Farms, and infomercials. And we will
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together, and we're going to
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: go have some delicious jambalaya. Benjamin knows where all the good,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: all the good jambalaya is there in New Orleans, and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the baba ghanoush, and got to have the gabagool, vertilio,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: in Florida.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Who knows?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: If you want the real gabagool, you got to go
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: up to New Jersey or New York. That's where the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: real gabagool is. All right, first of all, the concept of,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: The Packers continuing to go down the road with Josh Jacobs.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I just give the whole thing a shoulder shrug. I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: just kind of shrug my shoulders and say that's it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: The Packers had a perfectly good exit ramp. The exit ramp,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: which I'm actually surprised they didn't take, is no comment. Typically,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that is a league matter. We are not going to comment.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: They didn't use that exit strategy. which is surprising. Instead,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Matt LaFleur seemingly drove right past it. Could have taken
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the off-ramp. He didn't do that. And while he was
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: somewhat muted, he didn't get into too much detail, it
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: is interesting to note that he is giving the nod
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: at this moment to Josh Jacobs, which is a very
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: odd hill to die on. It's a very odd hill
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to die on. LaFleur acting like Josh Jacobs is the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: last running back on Earth to The Packers will have
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to play without a running back if they don't have
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs. Have you checked the waiver wire? Have you
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: checked the trading market? Have you done those things, Matt?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: You have not? Okay. Listen. We're talking about a serviceable
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: running back, Josh Jacobs. This is not an all-time great
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: bell cow running back. This is not a generational great
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: running back. This is not even Adrian Peterson, who the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Vikings put up with while he was slapping around kids
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. They look the other way. Running
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: back is the Starbucks of NFL positions. What do you
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: mean by that? Let me explain. So I'm not a
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: coffee drinker. My wife is, though. She likes local coffee shops,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: but if we're out on the road somewhere, Timbuktu or whatever,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: she finds a Starbucks. So sometimes we'll go past one.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: And she'll be like, oh, we got to turn around.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, I'm not turning around to go
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to a Starbucks. Are you crazy? No, no, no. You
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: don't turn around for a Starbucks. Because if you miss
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a location, there's another one across the street or the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: next off-ramp. That's how that works. And I feel the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: same way about running backs. It's a Starbucks position. And Jacobs, again,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: he's not a bad player. He was an all-pro at
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: one point. However, he's not some irreplaceable supernova. He's not
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a football unicorn. He's not that. And the Packers stood
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: by him through his previous legal troubles. And they did
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: that whole thingamajig there. And how did he repay their loyalty?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: By playing a game of charades in the primetime game
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: against Carolina. last week, mocking the domestic violence arrest with
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a handcuff-themed touchdown celebration. So we want you to hop
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: aboard the caboose, the obtuse caboose. Choo-choo! Yeah, right there.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: So now you've got other allegations. We can accuse anyone
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: of anything. It doesn't mean it is accurate. That is correct.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And these were from a number of years ago, 2021.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Jacobs denies everything. And so we'll see what the NFL
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: is investigating. But it is just odd that we've got
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to have this guy. That's your position. Is he that
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: big a difference maker, Josh Jacobs? What does Matt LeFleur
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: gain in the Packers from attaching themselves and their reputation
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to Josh Jacobs? If Jacobs were Australian, as our friends
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: in Australia... We haven't had too many active people recently
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: from Australia. I know we're on there still. The Aussie
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Waz and Aussie Momentum and all the group that were
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: very active in the show... There's a term in Australia
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: which does apply to Josh Jacobs. It's called bloody roo.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs is a bloody roo, is what he is.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: All right, now, secondly, time for our obligatory Mallor monologue
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: reference to Jerry's World. Despite the Dallas Cowboys gagging, riding
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the vomit comet, they're 3-5 now, losing, blowing a big
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: lead against Gardner Minshew and Arizona. Despite that, linebacker Vaughn Miller...
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: has come out to support his head coach, Brian Schottenheimer,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and Vaughn Miller insisting that Shawnee and his coaching staff
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: are not the problem. In fact, he praised the preparation
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that Dallas has had and insisted the players deserve the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: blame for poor execution. Now, not only did Vaughn Miller
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: issue a ringing endorsement of Brian Schottenheimer, but you also
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: have Dak Prescott, Kenny Clark, Tyler Smith, who all parroted
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: one word or another from Vaughn Miller with a very
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: similar commentary. that it's not the coaches, it's the players,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: there needs to be accountability, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: All right, so question. With Vaughn Miller and Dak Prescott,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the headliners, publicly backing Brian Schottenheimer, does their support take
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the heat off the Cowboy head coach? So I would
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: like to play the wheel of fortune to answer this question.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: So I would like to buy an N. Well, I
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: want an N. I don't have to buy an N.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I want an N, and Pat, can I get an O?
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I'd like to buy an O. Let's put those together,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and no. So I got O, and I got N,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and we put them together, and we've got no. It
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: has been, this Cowboy season has been shoddy. Not a
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: little shoddy, not occasionally shoddy, consistently shoddy. That's it. You
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: had the The game in Brazil, the blown lead in
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that game. I mean, there have been so many blown
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: leads for the Dallas Cowboys here. Multiple, multiple games that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: they should have, could have won, that they didn't win,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. The Cowboys have the greatest coaching
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: staff in football, if you listen to Dak Prescott and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Von Miller. Unfortunately, their greatness is only visible, apparently, in
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: closed practices. That's it. As we like to say in
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: these parts... honoring the late, great Mike Leach, my favorite
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: college football coach of all time, Mike Leach, that you're
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: either coaching it or you're allowing it to happen. And
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys are, either the coaches are teaching the players this,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: to suck at a time you cannot suck, or they're
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: allowing it to happen. Von Miller and Dak Prescott say
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the coaches are not the problem. So if the chef
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: keeps serving some Foster Farms raw chicken, not cooked, eventually
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you stop blaming the chicken. And you say, well, it's
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: likely the person serving the chicken that's not cooked. That's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the problem. And so there you go. But they all
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: like each other. So let's get some nice Dallas Cowboy
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: friendship bracelets. Jerry can sell those. He can mark those
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: up a lot at the Cowboy gift shop. Why not?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: And so they've mastered the Cowboys over the years. Accountability.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Very accountable without consequences, though. Very accountable without consequences. Everybody
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: accepts responsibility. Nothing changes. You don't get paid to be liked.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: You get paid to win. You play to win the game.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: You play to win the game. All right, now, final thought.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: We stay with the theme here. In Dallas, and the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Cowboys losing record, Stephen Jones, keeping up with the Joneses.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: This is the son that won the genetic lottery. Stephen Jones. Now,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: he insists that, believe it or not, the Cowboys are close.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: They are close to a dramatic turnaround. Who could have
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: seen that quote coming from somebody with Jones as their surname?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Following the latest embarrassment, that overtime collapse... And Gardner Minshew
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: shoving it down your throat. According to Stephen Jones, says
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the team remains open to adding talent before the trade deadline,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and they're not that far away. Dallas already traded for
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Joey Porter Jr. How's that working out? Yeah, not good.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Defensive issues here, there, and everywhere. They have popcorn problems everywhere.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Things popping up everywhere. It's a big mess. And despite
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: all the losses, and they are piling up here for
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, and the Jones family refuses to give
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: a concession speech. You know, today's Election Day in America, right?
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: So people go out and vote today and all that stuff.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: A lot of people already voted, absentee voting, all that stuff.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: But I'm voting. I'm doing my thing. And there'll be
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: politicians tonight that will not give a concession speech. They
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: will refuse to do it, just like Jerry Jones and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Stephen Jones, who clearly have lost the plot, yet they
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: will continue to say, no, no, we're close. So the question,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Stephen Jones says the Cowboys are close to turning things around.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Is he seeing something that the rest of us are missing?
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: The rest of the American people and our friends in
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Canada and Mexico are missing. So, yes. Yes. The thing
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that Stephen Jones sees that many people have blindness to,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: it's a word that starts with a capital I, inventory.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: That's the problem. The Cowboys have a lot of inventory.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: They have five more home games, nine total games remaining
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys. Nine total games. And so the Cowboys,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: as we've said in previous episodes of the show, the
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Cowboys remain a franchise that, They are the longest running infomercial.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: They are. Every year they promise this miracle product that's
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: going to solve all of your life's problems. And every
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: year it breaks. And then they sell another product the
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: following year and then that breaks. But the Jones family,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I give them credit. They have been able to sell
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the same basic snake oil for 30 years. They haven't
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: changed it. Every couple years, Apple comes out with a
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: new iPhone or a new laptop. Televisions every year, they
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: change and they add this thing and that thing and
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: it's all real cool and all that. The Cowboys, it's
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the same snake oil year after year. And the dum-dums
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: continue to line up to buy more of it and
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: more of it. It's crazy. Now, privately, they know. I
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: bet you if you're behind closed doors, they know this
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: team's no good. You are what your record says you are.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: We're almost 50% through the NFL season, 47% through the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: NFL season. The Cowboys have a losing record. They've lost
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to two backup quarterbacks. They lost a game with eight
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: seconds to go in Brazil. And other than that, everything's great.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: And yet, Stephen Jones keeps drinking the Kool-Aid straight from
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones' refrigerator, the Family Punch Bowl, playing the role
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: of the cockeyed optimist. And going full, there's an old
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: George Michael song. You gotta have faith. Gotta have faith.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh, the Cowboys, we gotta have faith. Gonna
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: turn this around. Of course, they have no problem living
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: in a land at Disney called Fantasyland. They have no
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: problem with that. It is the Ben Maller Show. If

  Speaker 4: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: get in else.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: on how football really works.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: Continuity is very important but what happens when you get
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: them then they want to hire them and then you
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself but
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: you have to replace.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Them Because once you understand what's going on inside the
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: own the team. I never owned a team.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: or wherever you get your podcasts.

• 21:03

  Speaker 1: of the show on X at Ben Maller. That's at
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Ben Maller.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: That's a huge bitch.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Lorena is the FSR Tech Queen.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: People want me to play you more embarrassing drops, Ben.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: No, they don't.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard it on Twitter. I get inbox messages.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Nah, they don't really want that. That's just that schmuck
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Trucker Joe. And there's like two other people that are
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: douchebags that want that. But everyone else loves me. They
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: don't want that. And I do occasionally say things just
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: for drops. Like, I'll say things. I can do a
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: perfect show. I choose not to. Because I want to
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: provide drops. I want to be like Lady Gaga. What's
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: wrong with that? I got my poker face on right now.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Koopaloop at a Bronco fan that's a Bronco fan. Your
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: comments can and will be used against you in the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: court of sports radio. Supermarket Steve writes in. And he's
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: gotcha guy. This guy, Supermarket Steve, he's gotcha guy. And
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: so gotcha guy is like, hey, you made a mistake,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: you know, gotcha guy. Except the great thing about Supermarket
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Steve is he tries to correct the show and he's
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: almost always wrong. Here's a great example. So we mentioned
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: earlier I brought up the A team and I brought
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: up Mr. T. And he goes on here. He says, well, B.A. Baracus, a.k.a. Mr. T,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: was not the leader of the A-team. That was John
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Hannibal Smith, played by George Pappard. Well, here's the problem,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Super Mario Steve. You have a lack of knowledge. You're
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: uneducated on the A-team. And if you had watched that
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Netflix documentary thing with Mr. T, they laid it all
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: out that the people at NBC, some executive at NBC
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: is like, we like this guy. We got to get
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: him a show. And they built the A-team around Mr. T.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: He was the star of that show. They made the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: show for him. In fact... George Pappard, the actor, they
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: got into some disagreements on set because he was upset.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: The guy that played John Hannibal Smith, because he thought
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: he should have been the guy that was the leader
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: of the show. But the people at the network were like, no,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: we like this guy, B.A. Baracus, Mr. T. We like him.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: So put that in your pipe and smoke it. You
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: know what we should do? I'm going to take a
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: night off, and I'm going to go to the grocery
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: store that Supermarket Steve works at, and when you don't
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: put that can of tomato soup right where it belongs,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I am going to yell at you, and I'm going
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: to scream at you that tomato soup is not in
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: the right place. You schmuck.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: He deserves it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Scotty on the Pike, who was
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: on a recent edition of the Fifth Hour podcast. Did
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a great job on the mailbag. What's going on, Scotty
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: on the Pike?
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Welcome.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: Hey, Ben. I love you. That's all that matters.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, there you go. See that? It's true. There's a bond.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: We have a bond here.
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: Don't make that a drop, Olga. So Bill and Jordan
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: allegedly stopped dating. Late last year, this came out. So
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: almost a year after they stopped dating, they announced that
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: they're no longer dating. So what do you think is
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: up with that? Allegedly, she's still on the payroll at UNC,
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: although I have no idea what the hell she does.
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: But what do you think?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: All right, so let's do full conspiracy. By the way, Belichick,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: during his news conference, I don't know if you saw
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: this or not, Scotty on the Pike, he had a
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: news conference on Monday and he snapped at a reporter
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: asking him about the breakup, why would you snap?
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: Oh, if he works for a tap, right.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: So the guy worked for a tap.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: So why is Jordan still around UNC?
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: All right, so let's think about this logically.
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: If he kicks her out, if she has nudes, and
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: there'll be a bunch of Bill Belichick, Jabba the Hutt
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: memes coming out.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would think... Yeah, my mind is going there, Scotty.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: If they broke up, and typically the only reason she's
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: working there, nobody thinks she knows what she's doing. She
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: got the job because she was sleeping with Belichick. Does
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: anyone disagree with that? I think that's kind of why
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: she got the job. She wasn't the most qualified or whatever.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: She was really good at whatever she was doing with Belichick.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: So she's not with him anymore. So you get rid
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: of her unless, as you said, Scotty, Bella checks got
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: to keep her on the payroll. Otherwise, you know, she,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: she knows all the secrets.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. That could be a lawsuit too.
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: Like, like, like his little Billy can boink a Cheerio
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: and it won't break or something like that. You know,
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: it's really, I.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Will bet you a tiny thing. I'm going to bet.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to bet you within the next 10 years,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that she writes some books saying he, you know, he
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: seduced me and, you know, I was an innocent girl
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: on the plane and I didn't want to, you know,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I bet you she does something like that.
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: He wore my underwear. Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to, you know, I didn't want to
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: hang out with him, but you know, he just, he's
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: a rich, powerful man or something like that. So anyway,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: we'll see.
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: He groomed me.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: On the plane, on the plane to Florida. It was
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: a magical.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Scotty. The great Scotty on the pike. There
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: he goes, our friend. All right, bye-bye. There's a little
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Bill and Jordan update. Love that. Love that. So there
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: were conflicting reports. Do you work for a tabloid? Now,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: that should be a pretty good drop. Did they put
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: that in the system, Coop? Did they put the Belichick
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: in the system? Do you work for a tabloid now?
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Because that could be a generic evergreen drop. We do
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of these gossipy stories, so we could have
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: some fun with that as a I like my evergreen drops.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Big fan of the evergreen drops. We were efforting that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Mentioned this a little earlier, the LeBron James sipping a
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: fan's drink. Briefly, I mentioned it. What do you want
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: me to do? A full monologue on that? I don't
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: know what I can add to it. It was a
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: funny moment. It's nice that people haven't freaked out about it. Well,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: with LeBron, people freak out about everything. You say, oh,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't do that. It's funny. Whatever. I bet somebody
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: tries to auction off that cup that LeBron sipped out of.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Crenshaw, who's in La La Land here
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: in L.A. What's going on, Crenshaw? Welcome. This is two
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: calls for you now.
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: Hey, man.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: I re-listened to the podcast, and I'm like, man, I
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: should have brought that up to y'all. But, hey, I
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: honestly want to tell you about myself, man, and what
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: me and my pops be doing. If that's cool with you.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: If it's not, then... No, no. Yeah, let me know.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: What's going on with you guys? You and your dad.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: What do you got going on?
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: So, I'm a Metro bus driver, and my dad is
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: a trucker down at Long Beach Port.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: So.
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: Not no more. I recently came to Metro, so not
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: no more I could really listen to. But when I do,
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: when I get home, we got radio in the shower,
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: we pop it on then. But honestly, man, I started
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: thinking up more picks for Chalk and Taylor. And I know,
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: maybe it was.
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: That was too much of an act for the number
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: one pick. But then again, I still believe it's a
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: smart deal for both teams.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Well, not for the number one pick, but more importantly.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: So you're a bus driver. Now, Roberto, who used to
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: work on the show, he became a bus driver. We
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: had Lance the bus driver. Yeah, he did. Yeah, we
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: had Lance the bus driver in San Francisco. So what
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: part of town, do you have the same route every time, Crenshaw,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: when you're driving around, or does it switch up?
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: So every day i'm like i'm basically a substitute bus.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Driver oh like you're the filling you're the filling guy
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: okay you're the substitute yeah i got you.
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: Okay he's always calling out so i'm getting new routes
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: every day and uh that's gonna be stressful a little
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: bit that's not as bad as the people we get in.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: My area It's bad, man.
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: It's really bad.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I've heard from Lance in San Francisco, but I'm sure
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: it depends on what part of town you're in, but
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: it can't be great for you. Yeah, yeah.
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: Today I kicked a lady off for having no pants on.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Now, who would wake up and say, let me get
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: on the bus without my pants? Who would make that decision?
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: She was going to get dropped off to the next motel.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Ah, okay. Well, she was working. She was trying to make,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you know, not an honest living, but a living. Yeah.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I got you.
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: You get stuff like that from there to pee on
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: the bus. And look, I'm going to vent real quick.
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: I need to vent.
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: Every first of.
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: The month, every first of the month, whoever is selling
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: the elderly people these damn baskets. I know you've seen
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: elderly people with these.
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: Baskets, man.
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: They're metal, and they carry it with them and everything
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: like that. I don't know, but they fill up the
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: bus fast, man, and it takes for them forever to
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: get on the bus.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Old people with metal baskets is a major, this is
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: a big, I think the urine smell would be the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: thing that drives me nuts. If I'm driving around all
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: day and you get the urine smell, that would be
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: a nightmare situation.
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: But I won't smell it. I don't smell it.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: But they block the, you know, the walkway. It's just
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: some safety hazard, but nobody want to get off.
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: But I digress.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I think Crenshaw, we might have a bid here. Bus
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: driver confessions. How about that? Bus driver confessions with Crenshaw.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: This could become a bid. Like once a week you
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: call up and you just rant and rave and vent
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: about the people on the bus. I think this could
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: be a good bid. I'm going.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to lie to you. Every day is
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: something new.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, here's what you got to take. Keep notes.
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Give me the top few things and we'll make it happen.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I got to go. But thank you. The great Crenshaw
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: there venting. Thank you.
• 31:39
  Speaker 10: Thank you, guys.
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Be well. Thank you, Crenshaw. Say hi to your dad.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Your pops there. Say hello to Mike the Leprechaun. We
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: go from coast to coast. Do we have to? I
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: checked my email and he was bitching on my email
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: that the podcast did not get, the mailbag did not
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: get posted early enough in the morning. He was complaining.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: He must think that I'm the one that posted. I
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: don't actually post the podcast.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Did he see how many complaints he got for being
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: on it?
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think he looked at that. Did you look
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: at that, Mike the Leprechaun?
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: Lorena, did you burn something in the.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: We asked you a question. Do not change the subject
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: and talk directly to me.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: None.
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: There were none.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Lorraine is not in a great mood. She's been running
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: around trying to figure out. There was a smell of
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: something electrical that sounded like it was smoldering.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: I can smell it again right now.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: It smelled like it was smoldering.
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: Anyway, Ben, you were a baby in 1972 with the
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: Miami Dolphins.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: No, I was not. I was not even around. I
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: was not even around.
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: Oh, my God. That says a lot.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: Anyway.
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: I think Caleb Williams will be the MVP at the
• 32:51
  Speaker 10: way he's going. He's very humble, too. So that's my take.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: You think Caleb Williams will be the MVP of the NFL? Yes.
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: The way the Bears are playing, yes.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Have you watched football?
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: I was watching the game last night.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: He was great.
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: He was not bad.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say great. It was that he just was
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: a game manager mostly, which is what he has. He
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: hasn't really shown that to me. I haven't seen that
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: consistently from Caleb Williams.
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: He got 233 yards, which was the first team to
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: get more than 200.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: He's just giving the box score or whatever. He watched
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the game. They had an eight-and-a-half-minute drive to start. Start
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the game, and that set the tone. It was great.
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: Lorena, where's Monaco?
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Why is he so obsessed with talking to me?
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: He's a big fan. You guys shared, was it a
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: pretzel or something?
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Didn't you already ask me that Monaco question? Why is

  Speaker 10: trash because as I was putting it out last night
• 34:34
  Speaker 10: in the dark, my Fitbit fell off into the bottom

  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. New details have come out on Lamar Jackson
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: betting on himself. The Ravens tried to negotiate a contract
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: extension prior to the season. Lamar balked at it. He
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: wasn't having it. Right now, Lamar appears to be out
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. Another failed season for Lamar,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the Ravens quarterback, and if he has played his final game.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, when he's played, he was the highest-rated quarterback
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. However, by the end of the year,

• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I think my head hurts too much.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Well, this has been quite the week. So we had
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the cockroaches crawling through the equipment the other day.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Don't remind me.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Now we've got the smell of smoldering electrical stuff smelling
• 36:10
