  Speaker 1: It's our number four. Hour four, ready to go of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show. Here in hour number four, we
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: focus in on that debacle in Washington, the Commanders losing
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: because they could not get a field goal attempt up
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: in the final seconds of overtime. Does Coach Dan Quinn
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: taking responsibility for the Commanders' Keystone Cops Act work for you?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels was the man on the field there. And
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: did Tom Brady's criticism of Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold cross
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the line into a personal vendetta, as some are saying?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: And how are you interpreting the Cowboys' decision to bring
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: in former Browns coach Mike Pettin as a defensive assistant?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about all that and more. Have a great
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and glorious Tuesday. It is hour number four. Here it is.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: We have now reached the point in professional sports where
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: you are not allowed to criticize any of your players.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Even when they do the dumbest thing in the world,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you are not allowed to point it out. Cannot do it.

• 3:18
  Speaker 1: time like October. The NLCS is here, streaming live on
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Fox 1. The back-to-back and belly-to-belly World Series champion Dodgers
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: take on the top-seeded Brewers in an NLCS rematch. One
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: series from the World Series. Stream the MLB postseason live
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: on Fox 1. I'd like to alert all the affiliates.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: More live reads coming. And we now pause the live reads.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to talk. Only for now. We apologize. We'll get back
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to the live reads. I know that's what you tuned
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in for. All right, so our lead this hour, we'll
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: get to the lead, actually. I want to start by
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: saying we had a whack-a-doodle Monday night football game that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: ended in overtime. The Bills get a three-point win over
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the Rams as Buffalo tried to give the game to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the Rams in overtime. James Cook, fumble!
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Bug on the rug!
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And the Rams got down into field goal range and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: their idiot kicker missed a field goal, while the idiot
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: kicker for the Buffalo Bills did not miss a field goal,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and Buffalo wins by three points. Josh Allen had been
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: 0-7 in overtime in his career, finally gets a win.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: He completed 12 passes. The Bills had more penalties than
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen completed passes, and they still won a game.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: That is not a well-coached team. Now, the Bills Mafia
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: will not admit that, because they like their team, obviously,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and they don't want to admit we downgraded at coach.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: That is exactly... What has happened there? They had more
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: penalties than Josh Allen completions, fumbled the ball, giving the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Rams a field goal opportunity. The media is crediting the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Bills with a block. If you saw the kick, the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: kick would have missed anyway. It was shanked. So far
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: off to the side. It was ridiculous. So the Bills
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: are 4-1. They're not a good 4-1 team. The Rams
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: are 2-3. It should be 3-2. NFL gave the Broncos
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a game. Remember that. So that's where we are as
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: far as those teams are concerned. The Dodgers lost. Brewers win.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: So Milwaukee's a couple wins away. from the World Series
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and the Cleveland Bridges, the team named after a bridge
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: because you people couldn't handle the Indians. So they have
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: won game one of the ALCS. So we are three
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: wins away by the team formerly known as the Indians
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and just a couple wins away by a team promoting
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: alcohol that hasn't been canceled yet from having that matchup
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: in the World Series. But our lead this hour from D.C. Now,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: we started by saying we're at the point in the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: industrial complex of sports where The younger generation of our
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: athletes have been so coddled, so babied, that they can't
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: be criticized by coaches. Now, I said, my generation, the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: coaches used to rip players all the time. But these
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: guys are so soft, they can't handle it. The latest
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: example is the fallout from D.C., the royal F-up by
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the team formerly known as the Redskins. Now, if you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: have not been following this, it is the story of
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the week in the NFL. So Dan Quinn... Medicine Man,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the coach of the Washington football team, attempted yet again
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to accept responsibility for the clock management fiasco in that
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: tie game against the Giants. The Commanders dropped to 1-3-1.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And a lot of questions about whether or not Dan
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Quinn will be sent out on a long walk off
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a short pier and say bye-bye to him. Well, it
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: didn't happen on Monday. If it was going to happen,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you'd think it would happen on Monday. So Washington reached
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the giant 24-yard line. So they got the ball all
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the way down. Cam Scadaboo had a brain fart for
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the Giants. And then Washington got down to the 24-yard line.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: 50 seconds remaining. And then 50 seconds remaining in the game.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And they wasted some time futzing around, making some substitutions.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels snapped the ball with 12 seconds left. No timeouts.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: 12 seconds left. He scrambled and picked up maybe a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: yard or two and then was tackled inbounds. Uh-oh! Spaghetti-o! Yeah,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Washington unable to spike the ball because of Jaden Daniels' mistake.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: And they did not even get a field goal opportunity up.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: A very makeable, chip-shot field goal for an NFL team.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And Quinn claimed that David Blau called the play. That's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: his offensive coordinator. He insisted, it starts with me, he said.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Quinn met with the owner, Josh Harris. That must have
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: been a fun conversation. He admitted that no one is
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: pleased by what happened at the end of the game. Again,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: nobody I saw on the coaching staff, certainly not Dan Quinn, saying, hey,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: wait a minute. My quarterback effed up. That's my quarterback.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: My quarterback effed up. That didn't happen. So that's a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Does
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Coach Dan Quinn taking responsibility for the Washington football team's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Keystone Cops Act work for you? So I've got Flavor Flav.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: We've got Oogie Boogie and Baywatch. And we'll mix and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: match all these together. And we're going to have a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: little jambalaya for Ben Jammin'. We'll have the baba ganoush,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and then we're going to have some gabagool. And that
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: is how we're going to do it. So first of all,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Dan Quinn saying, hey, I'm the guy, blame me, or
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: some version of that, is the most predictable thing in football.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: It is the way of the world. I watched a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: bunch of football on Sunday and Monday, and I saw
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a bunch of people F up. Players F up. I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: did not see one coach say, hey, that guy screwed up.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: But yet I witnessed a bunch of players effing up.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: And the reason is because this generation can't handle it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: A bunch of softies. Can't handle criticism. Can't do it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: You'll lose the players. So the coach jumps on the grenade.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: That's what the coach has to do, jump on the grenade.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: The star quarterback, meanwhile, gets escorted out of the building,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: surrounded by a bunch of beefy meathead security guys without
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a scratch. That is the way of the world that
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: we live in today watching sports. And so congratulations to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Dan Quinn. You've got a little side hustle. You're working
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: as a human shield. Way to go. Congratulations, Dan O. Outstanding.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: You have successfully completed. the NFL head coaching course in
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Falling on the Sword 101, NFL coaching guide. And you
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: know what this is? It's reputation protection is what it is.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Daniels Jaden Daniels is the face of the franchise which
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: ain't going very well right now the commanders are not
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: interested in having that face of the franchise covered in
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: cooties they don't want those cooties so this is the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: NFL I don't think it's Pop Warner I don't think
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it's Pop Warner And yet these guys are treated like,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, we can't have this guy called out
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: for what he did. Bad job by him, but we
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: can't say that publicly. And so apparently Jaden Daniels, the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: quarterback in Washington, he needs one of those giant oversized
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: countdown clocks. We have a lot of clocks here in
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the studio. We can give him one of the clocks
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: that we have if he wants. We'll make a little
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: side deal for a nominal fee. He can get one
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of the giant-sized clocks here. But he can get one
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: even bigger than that. The game show side, they have
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of those on the game shows, those big
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: countdown clocks. Otherwise, the commanders, if they're looking for some help,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: teams are starting to fire coaches and hire other coaches,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and so why not go out if you're Washington and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Hire Flavor Flav and bring him in. The quarterback coach,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: he always is ready to go. At least somebody then
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: in the organization, someone would understand the importance of a clock.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: He's always got the clock. He's a great hype man, too.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Now, secondly, to the broadcast booth, to the broadcast booth. Now,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I did not have the audio up on San Francisco's
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: win over Seattle. However, this became a thing. It was
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the America's Game of the Week on Fox and Tom
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Brady causing outrage. What did Tom Brady do? He talked.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady talked. How dare him? So the controversy is
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: over perceived criticism Brady gave to Sam Darnold. What?
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: What?
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Darnold going head-to-head in that matchup with Brock Purdy,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and Darnold had a standard Sam Darnold game. He sucked.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Not very good. Fluke last year. Seahawks fans are starting
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to realize that. Sam Darnold had two interceptions in that game,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: one touchdown, just mediocre, less than 200 yards passing for
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. But that's not even the story. So the
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: story was, during the broadcast, Dre Greenlaw, defensive star of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the the team from San Francisco. So Dre Greenlaw drew
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a 15-yard penalty. He had hit Sam Darnold near the sideline.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Brady defended Dre Greenlaw saying, quote, I don't think that's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: an illegal hit at all. Added that Darnold had the acting,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and he was acting, Sam Darnold, in that particular play. Okay.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: So that triggered accusations that there's a personal vendetta, that
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Brady has it out for Sam Darnold. And there were
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: reports claiming that Tom Brady, when he was running the Raiders,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: still is, as the bid owner of the Raiders, even
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: though he runs the whole team because Mark Davis has
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: no idea what he's doing. So he opposed the signing
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: of Sam Darnold. Otherwise, Darnold would have been with the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Raiders in 2025. Now, Seattle ultimately gave Sam Darnold $ 100 million. Eventually,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: they'll regret that. They don't regret it right now, but
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: they will. So the question, did Tom Brady... Criticize his
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: criticism of Sam Darnold crossed the line. Did Tom Brady's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: criticism of Sam Darnold cross the line into a personal vendetta?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: So on this one, I'm giving it some side eye.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: And the reason I'm giving it some side eye is
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: because these social media dingleberries are. I know what they're doing.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: They're engagement farming and all that. I'm falling for the trap.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: They're so desperate for controversy. They make it up even
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: when there's no controversy. This is manufactured. This blood feud
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: is manufactured. I don't doubt that Tom Brady didn't like
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold as a quarterback. Why would he? Darnold's not
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: very good. Having been critical over the years of Tom Brady,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: we have taken our shots at Tom Brady as a broadcaster.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I am with Tom Brady on this one. I stand
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: with Tommy. I do. Darnold went down on this particular
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: play that Brady said he was acting. So Darnold went
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: down like somebody unplugged the inflatable Halloween oogie boogie decoration
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: in the front lawn. They just unplugged it. And then
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: what happened? That's not good. And so Brady reviewed the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: acting performance. He saw it. He commented on it. And
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: he gave it two thumbs down. Now, naturally, those that
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: are looking for something to be upset about were annoyed,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and they gave Tom Brady, instead of two thumbs down,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: they gave Tom Brady two middle fingers up in the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: air everywhere. The bird is the word. The bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: bird is the word. Just like that. And breaking news,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: NFL analyst gives opinion about quarterback that isn't positive.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Uh-oh!
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I know. It's crazy. More on this
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: shocking development. Video at 11. We'll have video at 11
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: for that. So apparently the job description as an NFL commentator,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: if you look at it and read the fine print,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the minutiae at the bottom of the contract, the job
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: description includes being the quarterback's emotional support animal. And again,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: we have taken our shots at Tom Brady. He has
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: deserved them. I thought this clip, which I didn't see live.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I had the audio down because these guys usually annoy me,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: all these broadcasters. So I usually have the audio down.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: There was only a few that I'll listen to. Kevin Harlan,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Kenny Albert, people like that. Most of these games, Joe Davis,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: audio off. Tom Brady, audio off. That's usually how I
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: do it. But I had it on, on the replay,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: on the clips online that were going around. So I
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: looked at that and I was like, okay, fine. So
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: he's got a... The reason I would value Brady on
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: this is he's got a doctorate from his days with
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the Patriots. He's got a doctorate in quarterback theater. A
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: real thespian. He graduated from the University of Belichick, embellishing
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: calls and all that stuff. He's a Hall of Famer
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and Tom Brady, a Academy Award nominee for his ability
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to embellish. Floppy McFlop. The old flopperoo there. But heaven
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: forbid a TV analyst goes out and says, wait a minute.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: That's not good. That's bad acting. You've got to coddle
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: these fragile egos just like the coaches, and that's the
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: way it goes. All right, final thought. Shake up in
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Jerry's world. Did the Dallas Cowboys fire Shottie?
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: No.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Did the Dallas Cowboys replace their defensive coordinator who appears
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to be in over his head?
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: No.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Would have led the show with that. However, the Cowboys
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: did make a change. They have hired veteran NFL journeyman
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: vagabond coach Mike Pettin as a senior defensive assistant.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: Who?
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Cowboys know their defense blows. There she blows. And so
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: they've made a change. Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer announcing
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Pettin's hiring for at a soiree with the media A
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: after the game on Sunday the following day. Now, the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Cowboys making this change. Petten had worked with Schottenheimer. They
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: were together with the Jets coaching staff years ago. Pettin
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: served as a defensive coordinator for the Jets. He was
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: also the Bills defensive coordinator. He was even the head
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: coach of the Cleveland Browns. Nobody remembers that because you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: don't learn the name of the coach of the Browns.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: It's a temp job. Don't waste space in your brain
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: worried about the coach of the Browns. They don't last
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: very long. All right, here's the question. So how are
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you interpreting the Cowboys' decision to bring in former Cleveland
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Browns head coach Mike Pettin to try to save the defense.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: All right, so it's pretty clear here. You don't have
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: to be some highfalutin NFL guru. It's pretty clear that
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: you don't hire a veteran defensive coach in the month
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: of October, just a few weeks away from Halloween, because
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: everything is going swimmingly. You don't do it. At 2-3, 2-3,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys are currently ranked 26th in points and 31st
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: in yards allowed i didn't play in the nfl i'm
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: told that's not good i'm told that's not good and
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: jerry jones not a happy camper you know his rich
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: friends the aristocrats he hangs out with they don't want
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to watch a bad cowboy team and jerry wants to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: wine and dine these people what's wrong with you you
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: can't embarrass jera what's wrong So they're embarrassed. The defensive
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: coordinator who they propped up as the genius, a prodigy
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: from the Philadelphia Eagles coaching staff, Christian Parker, is drowning,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: capital D drowning right now. And Shottie just hired David
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Hasselhoff from Baywatch to try to drag his ass out.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: And rather than firing Christian Parker, which is what used
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to happen, coach isn't doing the job, you fire the coach.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Rather than do that, Brian Schottenheimer went with the hire
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a friend strategy, because that always works. Let's hire a friend.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Human resources on line two. So human resources stepped in
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and decided, let's make a special event here. Let's have
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: bring your buddy to work day at Jerry's World. Bring
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: your buddy to work day at Jerry's World. And so
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: they brought in Mike Pettin. Everyone knows Mike Pettin. He's
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: everyone's friend. He's coached here, there, and everywhere around the NFL.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: And they overlapped, as we said, together. These guys all
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: know each other from different stops around the NFL circuit.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: And human resources are like, hey, we'll just make this
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: all work. Why not? Bring your friend to work. It's
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: a wonderful thing. Christian Parker, he clearly can't fix this himself. Otherwise,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't have made this move. And so somebody better
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: hand Mike Pettin, the new defensive assistant, a mop, a bucket,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and a hazmat suit to clean up the mess they
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: have in Dallas with that defense. And same old story.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Year after year after year. It's the NFL's version of
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: bringing in a substitute teacher. Because the regular teacher completely
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: lost control of the classroom. So you've got to bring
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: in somebody else. It is the Ben Maller Show. We'll
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: take your calls, comments, the whole thing. 877-99 on Fox.

• 21:00
  Speaker 1: wallop from one of the Rams players, one of the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen for the Rams, who played like crap. So,

  Speaker 1: So wild story out of Atlanta. The Falcons looked for
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: a couple weeks like they were a good team. People
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: got a little excited about that. And reality set up.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: They lost to a backup quarterback for the Ravens the
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: other day. And that led to this wild story. It's
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: been bouncing around social media. Some Atlanta Falcon fans claiming
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: on social media they intended to get backup quarterback Tua
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Tungabailoa arrested. Arrest that man! After the loss Sunday night
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to the Baltimore football team. And they were going to
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: cook up some accusations. against Tua Tungavailoa. However, it was
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: very vague, and it was one of those dumb things
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: bouncing around social media, but he did pick up some
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: steam as Tua, who hasn't played this year until the
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: game on Sunday, and he, of course, earned the nickname
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: yet again, Tua Tuna de Bal Ova, yet again there
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: for the Falcons in limited duty, and there was, of course,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: no crime against Tua, other than the crime of bad football.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Other than the crime of bad football. Completed all three
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: of his passes. One of them was to the other team.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: It's unfortunate. I was happy about that. The Ravens Coming
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: back in that game, and then help me on Benny
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: versus the Penny. I had a better week this week
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: in Benny versus the Penny. We'll see what happens next week.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. We go to Minneapolis, Minnesota.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: The one and only. A man who has put snoring
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: on the map. Let's see, is he awake or not?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Hollering James from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello, Hollering James.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, Ben, I got a fun fact or a fun take.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, fun fact. We got a fun fact right now.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Fun fact from Hollering James.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I do long-lasting snoring. No, I'm not boring. Tammy's trying
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: to reach me. No, I'm not ignoring.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: I think that was poetry.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Not good poetry. Roses are red, violets are blue, and
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I can do poetry better than you.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: You can do poetry better than me? I think you're
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: a poet. I don't know it.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: My fun fact is better. My fun fact is better. Well,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: you didn't hear my fun fact. I'll give it again.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: So Josh Allen had 210 passing yards against the Rams
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: in the Monday night game. How many of those yards,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Holler and James, did he have that were not yards
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: after the catch? Meaning he actually completed the pass, no
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: yards after the catch. Out of 210 yards, James, how
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: many of those yards were not yards after the catch?
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Twelve.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: He's actually close. Damn it. The answer is 14. He
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: had 196 of the yards. That was an Eddie Garcia answer.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? Shame on you.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember Eddie.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: You do? What do you remember about Eddie? What do
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: you remember? He hated you, by the way. What do
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: you remember?
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: He used to bring pizzazz to your shows.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: He brought what to the show?
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: What? Eddie used to bring razzle-tazz to your show and
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: pizzazz to your show.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: All right. By the way, I did not check this,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: but somebody sent me a message. Let's see if we
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: can check this. The Sean McVay full post-game interview was
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: deleted by the Rams on social media. Uh-oh! What are
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: they trying to cover up? What did McVay say? I
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: know he was a little surly after the game, Sean McVay,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: the Rams coach. I wonder what he said, though. By
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: the way, Puka Nakua, 24 targets in that Monday night game.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: That is the third most in NFL history. Is that
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: a fun fact, too? I think that is a fun fact.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot of fun, James. We're all about
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the fun. You're not sleeping. What's going on? Are you
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: on new meds?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I'm on 36 pills in the morning.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: You're just trying to get us to play this off.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: I know it's not a fright.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I wrote you a poem. Oh, you want some poetry, James?
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: You just inspired me, you know, earlier. So, you snore
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: in the morning, you snore at night. If you do
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: it while you're driving, you'll give us a fright.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: That was good, right?
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: She tried.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: She tried.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: But I didn't. It was better than you. Yours was terrible.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: I think she tried really hard. Lorena, that was your best.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: There you go. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now, James,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: your appearance, is it true? I heard your appearance. Is
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: it true, James, that your appearance on the mailbag was
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: a life-changing experience? Is that accurate?
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm here from the mailbag, scored really,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: really high at some of the group home members here.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, we're doing it. Attention advertisers, we dominate the group
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: home demographic there in the Twin Cities. We kill it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: At least it's a place to live, man.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: That's right. Well, everyone needs a place to live. I'm
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: not knocking you, James. I love you, man. You know that.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: We're pals. Me and you, we go way back, me
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: and you, James.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we go way back. Do you remember from the
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: meet and greet?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, I remember you. You made me walk over to
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: your side of the thing because you wouldn't get out
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: of the booth.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I couldn't fit out of the booth. Remember how big
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: and fat I was? But I've lost weight since then.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, really? How big and fat are you?
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I've lost weight.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Congratulations. That's good.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: How big and fat are you?
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: I go about 236 now. Oh, that's not bad.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's three feet tall, though. That's the problem. Oh, okay.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Like Danny DeVito. Problematic, but yeah.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I don't know about Danny DeVito, but I'm
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: drinking more water and eating less food.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: He actually has to wear a shirt that says, Wide Load, James,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: when he leaves his house. It has to say Wide Load. Yeah, sorry.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go, James. Thank you. It's not you.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: It's you.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: God bless you.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Alright, thank you. All right, go away. There you go.

  Speaker 1: isn't that? They did that at the Hall of Fame.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: That's not a Patriot thing. It was the Hall of Fame.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ask Lorena a question.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Her famous jazz hands, is she taking after Johnny Hartman?
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: He's the most famous jazz hands person of all time.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Lorena has no idea who that is.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: No, I definitely do it off of my favorite movie,
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: Bring It On, when they were learning jazz fingers.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: And Chicago?
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Chicago.

  Speaker 6: They do it in Chicago?
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: No, that's not what I said. That's definitely not.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: What I said.

  Speaker 3: Marcel.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Marcel.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: He's putting all these negative.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. We're supposed to do that tomorrow, right?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow's the big fight. You and... Supposedly, yeah. Mike DeLepka
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: and Marcel, and that'll be the verbal option.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: He doesn't even know who his agent is. It's Jay Scoop,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: but he calls him Jay Cream or something.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Now, Jay Scoop did reach out to me. Jay's very busy.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: He's gone back to get his education, so he's working
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: on that. He listens to the podcast, but he did
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: tell me he said he is not, not training Marcel.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: That was a false report.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: That is a false report.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: He told me that, too, on the chat.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Yes.

  Speaker 2: He did tell me that, too. And there's another happy

  Speaker 1: I have a watch that is worth more than your house.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Look at my watch. Do you think he pays for
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: any of this stuff? He probably not, right? I'm assuming
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: he's famous enough. That's one thing I learned years ago.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: When you're rich enough and famous, well, not even rich enough,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: when you're famous enough, People just give you stuff. If
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: you ever want to steal anything, best bang for your
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: buck right there. What's that? A watch. A watch?
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: It's easy to sell? I mean, if you... Pond it? Yeah.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Or know the right... Know the right people? Yeah. Have
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: you ever stolen a watch? No, never. Have you thought
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: about stealing a watch? Yes, absolutely. You have thought about that?
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: You've played poker with people that have really expensive Rolex watches?
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: I've seen a TV show where they talk about how
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: much these, like, really expensive watches are, and it just
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: blows my mind that people walk around with that amount
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: of money just on their wrist. And if you have, like,
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: a ton of money, you don't even wear them. They're
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: just in a drawer in your house.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's like, I remember Phil Jackson,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the old basketball coach when he coached the Lakers. When
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: they were winning, Phil used to bitch to us. He said,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: these rings, you can't wear them. And he was like,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: when I won with the Knicks, we had a ring
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: we could wear because the rings, the old rings were
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: like class rings in high school. And the rings now,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: you know, for years of like all these diamonds and.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: And all that. But, yeah, I mean, again, I don't
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: know what you want me to do. I mean, I
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: know you love your Tom Brady, Steve, but I don't
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: know what you want me to do with that. I mean,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: he's a rich guy. He wears expensive watches. That's what
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: rich people do. I'm not a watch person. I agree
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: with Coop. If I had a lot of money, if
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: they ever paid me daytime radio money instead of nighttime
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: radio money, I would not spend my money on jewelry.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I would be like Ocho Cinco. Didn't he buy all
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: that fake jewelry, the costume jewelry? I believe he did.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: People don't know. And the only people that know what's
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: real and fake are a-holes. So who cares if a-holes
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: know that it's fake? They're a-holes. So everyone else is like, well,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: it looks real. It must be real. How great would
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: it be if somebody stole a bunch of costume jewelry
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and then they ran away and they, wait a minute,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: it's costume jewelry. Holy crap. What did I do? Anyway,
