• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So Tony Romo, he's back. Well, not back at his job,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: but he's back in the headlines. If you didn't pay attention,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: perhaps not. You missed it. Tony Romo broke his cone
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of silence. on his July booze cruise around Wisconsin there,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: which prompted CBS to say, you're on timeout, Tony. They
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: put him on indefinite leave. You probably knew that. Well,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Romo has now pleaded no contest to a civil OWI,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: which we used to call DUI. They'd like to do
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: things differently in Wisconsin, so they call it OWI, operating
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: while intoxicated. He accepted full responsibility, said, quote, I own
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: this completely. Now, Romo had a story because you can't
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: just say, hey, here's four words. I own this completely.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And that's it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You got to give the long version, the kind of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: version where somebody sends you a text and it's that long.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: You're like, I'm not reading that. Congratulations or I'm sorry
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to hear that. You know, either one of those options.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: That's it. So Romo claimed that the reason he became
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a raging alcoholic in Wisconsin was because of chronic pain.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Get that little violin music going here. Yep, chronic pain
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: for being a gladiator with the Dallas Cowboys. Multiple back surgeries.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: He was like Humpty Dumpty doing the Humpty Dance there.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: And he was on all kinds of pain medication, painkillers.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: And he was so dependent. so dependent on the pain medication,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that he decided, rather than be dependent on the pain medication,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I'm going to turn to whiskey and vodka and bourbon,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell he was drinking. And so he turned
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to the booze. It's a story as old as time
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in the modern big pharma industry world that we live in.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: So Romo then gave the money quote when he referenced...
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Four more words. My return to CBS. Whoa. Wait a minute.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Does it mean that Romo has found out he's allowed
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to come back with his buddy?
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Hi, Jim.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Jim Nance. Well, CBS was asked to confirm Romo's quote
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: about his return to CBS. And what did the big
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: corporate muckety mucks at CBS say? Two words. They weren't,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: let's go. The two words were, no comment. As I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: learned watching Scooby-Doo years ago, whoa, whoa. Yeah, no comment
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: on a return. They pointed instead to the original announcement
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: they made about Tony Roma. Now, we do know that J.J.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Watt is going to replace Romo, at least at the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: start of the NFL season, with Jim Nance. Hello, friends. Yeah,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: so CBS could still say bye-bye to Tony Romo and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: get rid of his contract. And my media boys are
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: telling me, my people in the media, people that know
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: more than I do, they're trying to get rid of him. They're...
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: They're sending it to their legal team trying to figure out,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: all right, so we get rid of Romo. Do we
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: have to pay him? How much do we have to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: pay him? What's the PR situation on this? The whole thing. Now,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: we do know the contract that Romo has pays him
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: $ 18 million a year. Every year. No matter how many
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: times Romo shows up unprepared, $ 18 million a year annually. Now,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: there were some people that were prominent who said, well,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the theory, people have been questioning Romo's work on CBS
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. And so there's a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: theory the reason that he's been questioned is because he
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: was showing up hammered on CBS. Now, I have no way.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think they do a blood alcohol test. I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: don't know if he was drunk on the broadcast. He
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: certainly wouldn't be the first. When I was younger, there
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was a guy named Howard Cosell who may have imbibed
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit from time to time. So it has happened.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: And there have been... Pat Summerall had a bit of
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a reputation for that. Anyway, it's all good jumping off point.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question. How do you interpret Tony
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Romo's statement on social media and then the rebuttal from
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: CBS refusing to comment on what Robo had to say
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: about returning to the broadcast booth? So I've got Tiny Dancer, Buc-ee's,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: and if that was not enough... We'll toss in Forrest Gump,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and we'll mix all of these things together, and we
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: are going to have a smorgasbord of delicious baba ganoush.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: We're going to have some gabagool. Got to have the gabagool.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: We'll have some jambalaya and some matzo ball soup. We're
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: going to have all of that and also a pastrami sandwich.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of food. I hope you're hungry. Now,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to kick off here, everyone seems to be reading Tony
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Romo's statement on social media like it was some heartwarming
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: chicken soup for the soul type submission. The way I
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: read what Romo said is, Your Honor, this is Exhibit A,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Your Honor. We'd like to present to the jury Exhibit A. Okay,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: let's see Exhibit A. Okay, thank you for that. Tony
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: checked every square on that corporate crisis bingo card. He
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: checked family. God, health, accountability, treatment. He had all the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: popular notes, all of them. And then came the total
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: needle scratch. The needle scratch and what Romo said, my
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: return to CBS. That was the Mona Lisa. That's what
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that entire statement was all about. Hold the line. Hold
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the line. That is the whole enchilada. A giant enchilada.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: He's planting his flag, Tony Romo. He screwed up. He said, listen,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I screwed up. I own this. I got help. Here's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: why I did it. Because I broke my body for you.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: As a Dallas cowboy, I broke my body for you,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is essentially what he said. And I'm ready now to
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: fulfill my contract. Gosh darn it, I'm going to fulfill
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: my $ 18 million a year contract at CBS. Now, meanwhile,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and I've known some of these people, these corporate types,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the CBS folks offered a no comment as a response. Now,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I did turn to the time-tested Mallor Rosetta Stone on
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: corporate weasel terminology. So let me translate. using the Malheur
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Rosetta Stone on the corporate weasel translation, and that means, hey, Tony,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that's adorable, Tony. Make sure to have your lawyers call
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: our lawyers, okay? Okay, sure, no problem. Say hi to Jim.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Hi, Jim.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, good. All right, so you can smell... billable hours
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: from three counties away you can't and this was not
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: written for the instagram hug factory you know how it's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: really popular still to play the victim on social media
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a bunch of people oh man you're such a good
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: victim people love victims uh in the times we're in
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: today and so romo was leaning into that sure it
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: was not though for the instagram victimhood Instead, it was
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: written for executives and contract attorneys. That's what that was
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: written for. And Tony is not just asking for forgiveness.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: He's not a tiny dancer. He's working as a gandy dancer.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: And that's an old term. But they were laying the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: train tracks in America years and years ago. They call
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: them gandy dancers because they were out there in the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: heat and the cold and they were laying the train tracks.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: And we're still benefiting from that. Those few people that
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: take trains all the time. But so, Tony, just imagine
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: in that cartoon bubble in your head, Tony Romo is
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: frantically laying railroad tracks. And as a gandy dancer, not
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a tiny dancers, a gandy dancer, he's laying the tracks
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: down right to the courthouse before CBS can throw him
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: off the train. Yeah. So that is going to go
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: to court. Certainly sounds, based on CBS's response, they ain't
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: bringing Romo back, and he likely knows from his peeps
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: at CBS they're not bringing him back, so he's like, okay,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I am going to make them look like such schmucks.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I just laid out this sob story about breaking my
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: body for the Dallas Cowboys, America's team, and I was
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: on drugs, and I got off the drugs, and I
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: was on booze, and you don't want to bring me
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: back up Tony Romo. That whole thing. All right, furthermore,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the Cowboys, we've got to go to Dallas.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Several of you pointed this out and said, you've got
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to talk about this.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: This is crazy.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I said, okay, fine, whatever. I'm easy that way. So
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the playmaker, Michael Irvin, star years ago of the Best
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Damn Sports Show period with Tom Looney as the voiceover
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: guy and Tony Bruno and all the other characters back there,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Tom Arnold. So anyway, Michael Irvin says that the Cowboys,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: who have not been good, Unless you're over the age
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: of like 36, 37, you might have some memory of
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys being good. Anyway, Michael Irvin says the Cowboys
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: have 10 more years to prove they deserve the America's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: team label. 10 years! Irvin pushing back on criticism in
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: a recent appearance on FS1. Critics obsessing over the fact
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have gone now 30 years without winning
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a championship. Or even getting to the championship game in
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the NFC. 30 years. And why would you obsess about that?
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: But he admitted that the drought is obviously not good.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: The criticism has some credence, you think? Because the Cowboys, 1996.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: 1996 as the years keep going by. Now the money quote.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Give me the money quote. I'll give you the money quote.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: The money quote from Michael Irvin. We cannot remain America's team,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Urban said, if a whole generation of Americans never see
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: us in a championship game. Close quote. Urban says another
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: decade would make it 40 years and potentially turn Dallas
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: into lovable losers. So says Michael Urban. Now, since the
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Cowboys last won the Super Bowl, We've had New England
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: win six championships, I believe. You go down to Denver
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and Kansas City have won three each. You've had teams
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: like Tampa Bay win the Super Bowl. Seattle's won the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl a couple times. The Rams have had some
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: good teams. Anyway, the question is this. Here's how we're
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: going to box this up. Michael Irvin giving Jerry Jones
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Cowboys ten more seasons. Ten more seasons. Another decade. Another
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: decade to win and keep that label as America's team.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: How does that sound to you? All right, so Michael Irvin.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: What this is known as, it's a kicking contest. He's
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: kicking the can down the road. Until it's collecting, the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: can's going to be collecting Social Security. We keep going
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: like this. Ten more years. So I did the math
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: on this. Ten years from now, Jerry Jones will be
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: 93 years old.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Assuming.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: The Grim Reaper gets stuck in traffic on the Dallas
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: North Tollway, and then all of a sudden Jerry will
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: be able to make it to 93. Of course, his
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: face is only in its 20s, so Jerry's in good
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: shape when it comes to his face. By the way,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: tell me you don't know what a generation is. without
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: telling me you don't know what a generation is. A
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: generation is 20 to 25 years. Playmaker! So it's already
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: been past a generation. We've already crossed the Rubicon. We've
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: built a Buc-ee's, and they've started selling commemorative T-shirts. And
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: people are watching the Cowboy highlights on these things called DVDs,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and they're like, I don't know what that is. They're CDs,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and they got the VHS tapes. Crazy! All that stuff.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: And so... Dallas is the greatest weird science experiment, the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Dallas football team, in the industrial complex of sports. They
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: had last drank the nectar of the gods out of
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the Lombardi, which is very hard to drink out of
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: because it's a solid thing, not like the Stanley Cup.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: So just get the point. So they have not tasted
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that success in so long. Bill Clinton was chasing around
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Monica Lewinsky in the White House the last time the Cowboys.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: She's a little intern chasing her around the White House,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the Oval Office, and all that at the time. And yet,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: every time Jerry Jones farts, every time he farts, it
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: becomes breaking news. Was it a wet fart? Was it
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: a silent assassin? What kind of fart was it? We'll
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: have the video coming up. Jerry Jones. Oh, man, that
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: was a sticky one. Oh, man. Yeah. So they dominate
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: TV ratings, the Cowboys. Everyone fights to get Cowboy games on.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: The reason that the Fox TV contract is so valuable,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: they get the most Cowboy games. And that's it. And
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: they dominate absolutely nothing in January because that's when the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: playoffs are. So the Cowboys are basically the Kardashians of
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the NFL. They're famous now for being famous. The Cowboys
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: are famous for being famous. Endlessly covered. obscenely profitable and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the highest valued team and all that stuff. And nobody
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: can remember the last time they actually won anything of note.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Lastly, I got to go to this Arizona story. I
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: know you might not care about it. I care about it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's a good story, so I wanted to
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: share the latest developments. The AWOL All-Star who returned to
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the team this week, Cattell Marte, is now involved in
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Hat Gate. Now, we mentioned this in a previous episode
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: of the show that Marte had been asked about the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: fans and he had a message for the fans. He
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: gave no answer. He gave no answer. And then he
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: wore this hat about burning bridges. So the diamondback troublemaker
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: said he did not understand the hat that he wore,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Sam I.M. And he said, I didn't know what that meant.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: The hat said, may the bridges I burn light the way.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: So, okay.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Marte's explanation, I didn't know what it was. I didn't
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: know I had that hat on. I just put it on,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: close quote. Well, wait, there's more, because this is outrageous here.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: This is all-time coach bullcrap, bullpucky. Tori Lavello, the manager
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: of the Arizona Diamondbacks, for now, took that quote. I
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: didn't know what it was. I didn't know I had
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: that hat on. I just put it on. Again, the
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: quote was, may the bridges I burn light the way.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Torre Lovello somehow spun the hat into an accountability play.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: He said, quote, if you chop those words up, maybe he,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: meaning Cattell Marte, he's taking some accountability. He feels like
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: he had done some things or has done some things.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: All right, so the question. Cattell Marte saying he didn't
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: know what the burning bridges were hat meant while the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Diamondbacks manager said it was about accountability. So how interesting
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: is this to you? Well, it's obviously interesting enough for
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: me to bring up. It's wacky. Tobacco is what is
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. Like you tell Marte has discovered the
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: ultimate defense. He is weaponized ignorance, which often works for politicians. Now,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: it doesn't work for the law. Obviously, it's not a
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: legal matter. But if you get pulled over and the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: cop says, hey, how fast were you driving? And you say, well,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know how fast I was. driving. Okay, do
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: you know what the speed limit is? Well, I don't
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: really know what the speed limit is. Well, doesn't matter.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: You're getting a ticket, right? So this is weaponized ignorance,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: which somehow appears to be working. First, he disappears from
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks when they're playing at Fenway. He gets spotted
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: at a casino in Arizona while the team is playing.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Then is asked if he has a message to the fans.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: The easiest question, softball question, fails to answer that question.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: And then shows up after the game wearing the most
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: perfectly timed Burning Bridges hat in the history of Burning
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Bridges hats. And suddenly, Cattell Marte is the most confused
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: man in all of baseball. I didn't know what that meant!
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I had no idea!
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah!
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: How convenient. How convenient. And so, you could tell Marte,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: this Diamondback All-Star guy, is hiding inside a cloud of
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: stupidity that is so thick. How thick is it? All right,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: thanks for yelling. It is so thick that the airport
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: radar cannot detect it. Any accountability. Any accountability. And meanwhile,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: he's like the Forrest Gump, you could tell Marte of controversy.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: He really is. Stuff just keeps happening to him. It's
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: just always around him. And Tori Lavello, performing Olympic-level, Olympic-level
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: mental gymnastics, serving up a word salad for the ages,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: trying to convince us that a hat that Cattell Marte
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: supposedly didn't understand was actually a profound statement about personal growth, accountability. Hey, Skipper,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: he said he didn't know what the hat was. I
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: don't care. He's accountable. But he said he didn't understand.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: He used the second language. It doesn't matter. I know
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: what he meant. I know what he meant. Pick a
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: lane and stay in your lane, as the great professor
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: LeVar Ball taught me years ago. So either Quetel Marte
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: knew what the hat meant, and Ward intentionally, or Tory Lovello,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: is interpreting hieroglyphics that do not exist. These don't exist.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: And when every scandal requires yet another excuse, here's what
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I actually meant. There's only one common denominator in this story,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: and that's Cattell Marte. Now, the Diamondbacks are certainly... propping
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: him up and allowing this, but ultimately it's on Cattell Marte,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the all-star. It is the Ben Maller Show. If you

• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Strip Club John? There's a blast from the past. Hello,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Strip Club John.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Busy working my butt off right here. You know what
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: I mean? No. Dealing with drunks and naked women. You know,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I do deal with drunks. Not a lot
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: of naked women I have to deal with, but you
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: have that, so there is that. Yes.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Um... Let's talk Cleveland sports, shall we?
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, there's nothing more depressing than Cleveland sports. Yes, let's
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: You've got the Indians. They're hanging on by a thread
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: for the wild card.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: And then you've got the Browns. I'm making so much money.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I'm investing so much money in state dinners. I've got
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: guys telling me they're going to win nine games this year.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, those people are called fools. Fools! I'll take
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: their money. I'll take their money. Okay, yeah. Well, if
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you're betting steak dinners, you're going to eat steak the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: entire year. There's no way. Yeah. Great. If they win
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: nine games, there should be an investigation by the feds
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: if they win nine games.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: And then the Cavs.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: There's something that the cable companies might not.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Carry their games.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I just saw they got a TV deal. But, yeah,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the TV industry is completely messed up. I knew the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: moment the TV industry was over, cable TV, was when
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I got a TV show. That was a sign cable
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: television was completely dead. And we've confirmed that, unfortunately. But, yeah,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: so they got some deal with one of the foreign
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: companies is going to broadcast, produce Cavs games on TV,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: so they will be on TV.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, they're going to be on cable TV? Yeah.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be on cable. I
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: don't think. I forget. One of the companies is Boxing.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I forget the name, but it's a big operation.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's not traditional cable, so good luck. John, trying
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to figure that out for your establishment there. Any good
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: stories you want to share from the Naked City there,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Strip Club John?
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: You know, we're gearing up for a good football season.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: You know, that's our busiest time of the year.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Is it better the Browns are bad because guys go
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: in there depressed? They need something to cheer them up?
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Okay. I mean, no matter whether they're winning or losing,
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: we're in good shape.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah. If they're winning, they want to celebrate.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: If they're losing, they want to feel better.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a recession-proof business. It's, you know.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what the economy is, some degenerate man
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: will give a girl a $ 20 tip.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, no matter how bad they're doing. They might not
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: be able to eat. They're eating like Marcel in Brooklyn,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: but they're able to help. All right, well, John, we
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: love you. Call more often. I know you've been busy, John.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: We've got other people on, but thank you, buddy. The
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: legend of the show, Strip Club John there in Cleveland.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: We go from Cleveland over to Akron. We're doing local
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: radio there. Let's say hello to Keith, who's next up
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: on the Ben Maller Show. Hello, Keith.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Welcome. Hey, right next door to Cleveland, man.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: It's a small world. It's a small world after all.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: It's a small, small world.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a long year with the Browns
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: this year, buddy.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think it's going to be
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the same as every other year. They're going to suck,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and it's just like every other year. Nothing's going to
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: be really different. It's more of the same. It's like
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: eating the same meal every day.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what the famous line is, wait
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: till next year.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wait till next year.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Hey, I got a comment. You cracked me up, man.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Howard Cosell.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Do you remember, okay, he used to be on the
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: air with Dandy Don, Meredith.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: And Frank Gifford.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: And it was a Monday night game. I'll never forget it.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: And we're down at, I think we're down at the
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: Hillcrest Bar drinking beer. And Howard, or the Vikings were
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: playing the Bears. Do you remember the middle linebacker for
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: the Vikings, Jeff Seaman?
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I know the name. I don't remember the specific name.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, Howard, you could tell Howard.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Be careful. I think I know what you're
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: going to say.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. Well, he goes, and they had to cut
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: the sound out for, I mean, everybody at the bar
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: was laughing. Howard goes, man, can that, you know what,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: hit the crack? You know, you have Romo, and you
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: could tell Romo, gosh, you know, he's got that crap-eating
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: grin on his face.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's always got it. Well, I guess to tie
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: this all together, Keith, Dandy Don would say for Romo's
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: career at CBS, turn out the lights, the party's over.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Well, speaking of guys drunk in the boot, do you
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: remember when Harry Carey Took a swing at the guy
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: back in.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, Harry was... Yeah, I mean, before social media, there
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: were guys hammered all the time.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: There was a Phillies, I think it was a Harry Callis.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: A lot of those guys, they'd been doing those jobs
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: for 40, 50 years. They hated baseball. They were drinking
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: just to get through the games. It was terrible for
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: some of those guys.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what? I actually moved to Chicago area
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: for about three years, so I was pretty new. I
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: didn't know Harry Carey for nothing. And you remember those
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: big dopey glasses?
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. No, I got a funny story. Real quick,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I was in an elevator when I started out. I
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: was like a kid. I was like 19. And Harry Carey,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: he didn't travel with the Cubs at the end of
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: his time, but he had a place in Palm Springs.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: So Harry would come do the games when the Cubs
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: played the Dodgers because you just go back out to
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Palm Springs. So I got into an elevator one time.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: And at Dodger Stadium with Harry Carey, a hero of
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: my youth, a Cubs broadcast. I used to watch WGN
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: all the time. So I get in this elevator and
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Harry Carey's in there. And I didn't say anything because
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I'm an introvert. And there's a young lady who's like
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: the elevator operator because they have elevator operators.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I remember those days.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: And so Harry starts trying to pick up on the woman,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: who is probably like 25, and he's trying to pick up. Hello,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: young lady! And it was hilarious. I was laughing my...
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't laugh at the time, but I got out
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: of the elevator and I was like, oh, this is.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Well, I actually.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I, actually being a newcomer in the Chicago area, I'm
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: listening to WLF, you know, they call it the world's
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: largest station. They'll figure a good way to get it. Well,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I made a call in the morning when Harry, you know,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: it was a big scuttle boat. Do you remember who,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: who was it he took the swing at? Right in
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: the boot.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I don't remember who, but I remember hearing the story.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I got to leave it there. Thank you, Keith. Look
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: at that. That's memory lane, Lorena. That's old guy radio.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: You don't even know who Harry Carey is. You have
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: no idea. I bet he's not very hairy anymore. Oh, wow.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: All right. That's too soon. He's only been dead for
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: 30 years. Marcel in Brooklyn. Marcel, do you know who
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Harry Carey is?
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Is the Cubs blocked?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Look at this man. Unbelievable. Yeah, Lorena. I'm sorry. Take
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: me out to the ball game.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: A great Cub tradition over the years since.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: 1970s, 80s or something.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Jonas does impressions of him all the time. Yeah, Jonas
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: is a big Cub fan here. He loves it. Now,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Strip Club John called in. Would you like to hang

• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Triple Xs?

  Speaker 1: I don't think so. You've never been to a strip club?
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Why not, man? Those women are trying to get through college.

• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's nudity stuff.
