0:18
Speaker 2: actions that took place at the University of Michigan. What
0:22
Speaker 2: do you suppose the NFL will do with Jim Harbaugh?

Speaker 2: Will there be punishment? We'll take a look at that. Also,
0:30
Speaker 2: we go in depth on the Colts Daniel Jones, who
0:35
Speaker 2: says that his second act is going to be different.
0:37
Speaker 2: What's your takeaway from that commentary? And speaking of the Colts,
0:41
Speaker 2: their head coach Shane Steiken was waxing loquacious about Daniel Jones.
0:48
Speaker 2: So how would you grade Shane Steiken's passionate defense for
0:52
Speaker 2: the new starting quarterback in Indianapolis that he can get
0:56
Speaker 2: the job done. We'll go there as well. Right now here,
0:58
Speaker 2: it is our number two. Could it be an NFL
1:05
Speaker 2: head coach heading to the penalty box before the season begins?

Speaker 2: ti iraq dot com The Way Tire Buying Show be
2:24
Speaker 2: so our lead. This hour is from the speculation Machine.
2:27
Speaker 2: We'll call it Urban Planning. Urban Planning is an NFL
2:32
Speaker 2: head coach in jeopardy of being suspended as the season begins.
2:39
Speaker 2: Two weeks from today, the lidlifter in the NFL two
2:43
Speaker 2: weeks from today, the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles and they
2:48
Speaker 2: take on the Dallas Cowboys. And that Thursday night Lidlifter.
2:52
Speaker 2: And there's some chatter about a coach getting some trouble.
2:55
Speaker 2: I don't even saw this or not, maybe not talking
2:57
Speaker 2: about Jim Harbaugh. The Chargers said coach and if you
3:01
Speaker 2: missed it, former Jacksonville coach for like a month. Urban Meyer.
3:09
Speaker 2: Urban Meyer. So, urban Meyer says that the NFL should
3:14
Speaker 2: suspend Jim Harble. What yeah, urban Meyer said, because of
3:22
Speaker 2: the Michigan signs stealing scandal. He says that there is
3:26
Speaker 2: precedent here, the elephant in the room or in this case,
3:31
Speaker 2: the wolverine in the room. And he says that the
3:35
Speaker 2: old Buck guys coach, not him, but Jim Tressel got
3:39
Speaker 2: suspended because of issues that took place while he was
3:43
Speaker 2: at the Ohio State University. Urban Meyer told the story.
3:48
Speaker 2: He said, listen, Jim Tressel went to the Colts and
3:50
Speaker 2: they made him sit out six games, according to urban Meyer,
3:54
Speaker 2: six games because the league honored the NCAA punishment. Now,
4:02
Speaker 2: there are some people that believe the NFL will ultimately
4:06
Speaker 2: take some kind of action against Jim Harbaugh. There is
4:09
Speaker 2: an issue whether or not precedent is legitimately involved in this.
4:15
Speaker 2: To this point, however, the league has been radio silent.
4:18
Speaker 2: They have not commented on the status of the LA
4:21
Speaker 2: Chargers head coach. So let us discuss the question. My
4:25
Speaker 2: question is this, what do you suppose the NFL will
4:29
Speaker 2: do with Jim Harbaugh and any punishment. So I've got
4:33
Speaker 2: my observations here. I've got Pecan, Pi air Fryer and
4:37
Speaker 2: the amazing Randy and we will combine all of these
4:41
Speaker 2: things together and we're going to make some billable hours,
4:45
Speaker 2: some billable hours. Over the years, we've had some legal beagles,
4:49
Speaker 2: some lawyers that stay up late because they actually work
4:51
Speaker 2: on like a lot of lawyers that don't work, but
4:53
Speaker 2: these guys actually work and they stay up late in
4:55
Speaker 2: their office or in their home and putting stuff together.
5:00
Speaker 2: So here's a number one number. I spent about a minute,
5:08
Speaker 2: about a minute deliberating this. Didn't want to go too long.
5:12
Speaker 2: It's an overnight show. And I've determined what the NFL
5:15
Speaker 2: punishment to Jim Harbaugh will be. I've got three words here,
5:19
Speaker 2: three words. This is the NFL's punishment. I've got I
5:23
Speaker 2: wrote down on my scorecard, bupkis, zip bo and squad douche.
5:30
Speaker 2: That's it. That's the three right there for Terry in England.
5:34
Speaker 2: So Urban Meyer you know he's doing he's talking out
5:39
Speaker 2: of his padunkadunk his way. I'm telling you that's what
5:42
Speaker 2: he's doing. I think my theory is because he's still mad,
5:46
Speaker 2: because remember he was getting the lap dance and that
5:49
Speaker 2: went viral and all that, and that was the end
5:52
Speaker 2: of Urban Meyer, the beginning of the end of Urban Meyers,
5:54
Speaker 2: an NFL head coach. Of course, the team sucked. And
5:57
Speaker 2: by the way, as far as the Jim Tressel thing,
6:01
Speaker 2: Jim Tressel I looked it up. He was a replay
6:04
Speaker 2: assistant for the Indianapolis colt he was a consultant. So
6:09
Speaker 2: that's like suspending the person that gets the gatorade buckets
6:13
Speaker 2: out of the storage facility. We're talking about Jim Harball here,
6:18
Speaker 2: the head coach of the charge. You think that that
6:21
Speaker 2: guy Dean Spanos is just gonna say, ah, we got
6:25
Speaker 2: no problem here. If you want to suspend my coach,
6:29
Speaker 2: go ahead. It doesn't matter for something he did in
6:33
Speaker 2: ann Arbor, Michigan. Like, there's no chance. There's no chance
6:38
Speaker 2: of that happening. If the NFL, I'm telling you, mark
6:41
Speaker 2: my words, and I'm never wrong about these things. If
6:43
Speaker 2: the NFL tries to force Jim Harball to even miss
6:48
Speaker 2: a slice of pecan pie for dessert after he eats dinner.
6:54
Speaker 2: The NFL says, well, your punishment, Jim, is you can't
6:57
Speaker 2: have pecan pie after dinner. You're gonna have to eat
7:02
Speaker 2: apple pie. Now, it was a I like apple pie,
7:04
Speaker 2: but you're gonna have to eat apple pie that's store
7:06
Speaker 2: brand and is almost expired rather than fresh pecan pie.
7:11
Speaker 2: Guess what, Jim Harball will sue the NFL back to
7:17
Speaker 2: the Stone Age, and he's gonna win because you know why,
7:23
Speaker 2: he wasn't an NFL employee when this happened. Hello, right,
7:29
Speaker 2: huh bout Jim Trussel. It's a non starter. It's a
7:32
Speaker 2: non star. Now what is my evidence? I would like
7:35
Speaker 2: you to look over at John Gruden, who currently is leading. Now.
7:39
Speaker 2: The race is not over, the game is not over,
7:42
Speaker 2: the scoreboard has not gone final. But at this point
7:46
Speaker 2: John Gruden is beating the NFL in court, and the
7:50
Speaker 2: NFL needs their cronies on the Supreme Court to bail
7:55
Speaker 2: them out. The league is already in hot water for
7:57
Speaker 2: punishing John grew and over the emails that he said
8:03
Speaker 2: while he was not employed by the NFL. So do
8:08
Speaker 2: they want to risk this again? Do they want to
8:10
Speaker 2: make a repeat mistake with Jim Harbaugh? And what I
8:14
Speaker 2: know about Jim Harball is he's rich, He's got lawyers,
8:21
Speaker 2: and he's got a large ego. Those are three things
8:23
Speaker 2: I know about Jim Harbaugh. So you think he's gonna say, ah, yeah, okay,
8:27
Speaker 2: I'll sit out six games. I'll go surf somewhere and
8:30
Speaker 2: I'll go down to down to Newport or lagon Is
8:33
Speaker 2: somewhere and I'll go serf.
8:34
Speaker 3: No.
8:35
Speaker 2: Right, So here's the deal. I'm gonna tell you what's
8:38
Speaker 2: gonna happen. The NFL is gonna look at this. They'll
8:41
Speaker 2: say nothing, and it'll kind of go away, and then
8:45
Speaker 2: Irban Meyer will go pound saying somewhere and that's it.
8:48
Speaker 2: And then Jim Harball will be on the sideline to
8:50
Speaker 2: believe the charges open up with. I think it's Kansas
8:53
Speaker 2: City right week one there. I know they're in Brazil
8:55
Speaker 2: to begin the NFL season, and he'll be screaming at
8:58
Speaker 2: the referees and thinking he's back coaching in Columbus against
9:02
Speaker 2: Ohio State or something like that. I hey, Jimm, it's
9:04
Speaker 2: week one of the NFL. The only thing Jim Harbaugh
9:06
Speaker 2: is in danger of getting suspended for is khaki pants?
9:11
Speaker 2: That's it? Like the khakis, he wears, they can get
9:13
Speaker 2: in trouble with that. Right now, Moving on from that,
9:15
Speaker 2: we head to page two Indianapolis. We go follow up
9:19
Speaker 2: to the follow up, follow up to the follow up.
9:21
Speaker 2: So Daniel Jones has been asked the question and he
9:26
Speaker 2: is responded the question, why is anything going to be
9:30
Speaker 2: different with the Colts? You sucked with the Giants, So
9:34
Speaker 2: why would anyone think things are going to be better
9:36
Speaker 2: with the team in Indianapolis? And Jones said, quote, I
9:41
Speaker 2: think every situation is different, he said, telling reporters every
9:45
Speaker 2: season is different. I'm growing and developing as a player constantly,
9:50
Speaker 2: he said. He went on to say a lot of
9:53
Speaker 2: things go into it. I think I am prepared, Daniel
9:56
Speaker 2: Jones said, and will continue to work hard. All right,
10:00
Speaker 2: So what did you take away from Daniel Jones explaining
10:04
Speaker 2: his second act with the Colts is going to be different?
10:08
Speaker 2: So the first thought I had is this is really
10:11
Speaker 2: ground baking. It's groundbreaking, it's glass shattering commentary from Daniel Jones.
10:17
Speaker 2: It is I've never heard an athlete say that. This
10:19
Speaker 2: is like saying I'll be better at chess this time
10:23
Speaker 2: because I'm using a different board. Well, no, it's the same,
10:27
Speaker 2: it's the same game. No, No, the board's different, the
10:30
Speaker 2: boards different. Yeah, I'm sorry, Danny boy. Right, you still
10:34
Speaker 2: got to move the pieces around and all that stuff.
10:36
Speaker 2: You've got to navigate everything that the NFL. It's not
10:38
Speaker 2: some kind of group therapy session. Oh, it's getting closer
10:41
Speaker 2: to that. It's getting closer to that. It's not there yet.
10:44
Speaker 2: And the line that I loved was I'm growing and
10:48
Speaker 2: developing as a player constantly, right off sports cliche dot com.
10:52
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna ask you a question, serious question. What
10:55
Speaker 2: does that even mean? Like, that's the kind of thing
10:58
Speaker 2: you say when your statu sheet. You look at your
11:01
Speaker 2: statuet and you've got to like put it near your
11:04
Speaker 2: your eyes. You're like, whoa, that's like a one of
11:08
Speaker 2: those Sudoku puzzles. Right, he is a twenty four forty
11:11
Speaker 2: four and one twenty four to forty four and one
11:14
Speaker 2: as a starter. That is not growth. That is erosion.
11:18
Speaker 2: That's the coastline eroding back into the ocean. Right, It's
11:23
Speaker 2: perfect Danny Dimes.
11:24
Speaker 4: Right.
11:25
Speaker 2: The guy talks like he's some middle manager on LinkedIn,
11:30
Speaker 2: who just got whacked from his job. He's like, I
11:33
Speaker 2: am prepared and I will continue to work hard. No life,
11:38
Speaker 2: no feeling, But I am happy that you're cutting and
11:42
Speaker 2: pasting that because that's never been said by any quarterback ever.
11:45
Speaker 2: You know, this is the first time in my life
11:47
Speaker 2: that a quarterback has said that I am going to
11:51
Speaker 2: again be prepared and work hard. Never happens, and I'm
11:55
Speaker 2: sure he'll say that right after he throws a pick
11:57
Speaker 2: six on a bubble screen. That's it. So yeah, people
12:03
Speaker 2: say it's a fresh start, it's not. It's a relocation
12:06
Speaker 2: of mediocrity, is what it is. It's it's kind of
12:09
Speaker 2: like if you have a broken air fryer and you
12:14
Speaker 2: change apartments. You're like, in the back of my dad
12:17
Speaker 2: bounced from apartment to apartment. So you change apartments, you're like,
12:20
Speaker 2: of course they didn't have air friers back then, but
12:21
Speaker 2: you change apartments and just go with the story, and
12:24
Speaker 2: you're like, I'm not gonna buy a new air fraw,
12:26
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the old air fryer and magically it's
12:29
Speaker 2: gonna work. Just because I moved, it's gonna work. Spoiler alert,
12:32
Speaker 2: It's still not gonna it's not gonna turn on. If
12:34
Speaker 2: it does turn on, it's gonna sputter a little bit,
12:37
Speaker 2: and it's it's gonna disappoint. It's gonna disappoint. And so
12:40
Speaker 2: the colts, I look at this on the outside, they're
12:42
Speaker 2: treating Daniel Jones like a fixer upper with good bones.
12:48
Speaker 2: I think that show is filmed in Indianapolis on HG
12:51
Speaker 2: TV good bones, And I look at it on the
12:55
Speaker 2: outside and I'm like, well, no, he's a quarterback version
13:01
Speaker 2: of a house that's got black mold and a cracked foundation.
13:05
Speaker 2: You don't renovate it, you bulldoze it. And that's it, right.
13:09
Speaker 2: And Jones. The other thing about this is he clearly
13:12
Speaker 2: needs validation. He's like a guy. And we've all seen
13:16
Speaker 2: these dopes, and there's women that do it, more women
13:18
Speaker 2: than men that do it. But they posted the Jim
13:20
Speaker 2: selfies and the guys will always say, oh, the grind
13:24
Speaker 2: never stops. And I'm like, oh, that guy's at your BRONI,
13:27
Speaker 2: that guy's at Gibroni's that guy's a meat ed But listen,
13:30
Speaker 2: we get it, dude, you're at the gym. Congratulations, you
13:32
Speaker 2: want a cookie, You're working hard, guess what. Most people
13:36
Speaker 2: are doing some kind of exercise. Otherwise you become a blob. Right,
13:40
Speaker 2: you want credit for effort. That's not how it works.
13:44
Speaker 2: It's the NFL all that stuff, blah blah, it's not pop.
13:47
Speaker 2: Warner Jones continues to have almost no substance. He's got
13:55
Speaker 2: less substance than a protein shake made with skimmed melk,
14:00
Speaker 2: and you know a bunch of broken dreams tossed in
14:02
Speaker 2: there for flavor. And so it's always those things, right, Well,
14:06
Speaker 2: don't tell me, don't tell me. Ah, yeah, I'm gonna
14:09
Speaker 2: do this. I'm gonna do that all that stuff. Now,
14:12
Speaker 2: show me what you did, and then you can tell
14:14
Speaker 2: me how you did it after you've done it. All right, Now,
14:17
Speaker 2: final point. We go back to the story. In Indianapolis,
14:21
Speaker 2: there was a humdinger. Now this was full credit in US.
14:24
Speaker 2: I did not see this. It was sent in by
14:25
Speaker 2: a listener who knows the show and knows what I
14:30
Speaker 2: think is red meat doing the talk show. So I
14:33
Speaker 2: want to thank I believe his name is Mike. He's
14:35
Speaker 2: not in Indianapolis, but he's somewhere in Indiana. And he
14:38
Speaker 2: says small town and yeah, he listens a couple hours
14:41
Speaker 2: at night, and so he sent me this quote. He said, Ben,
14:43
Speaker 2: why didn't you mention this? That's why I didn't see it.
14:45
Speaker 2: That's why I didn't mention it. So now I'm aware
14:48
Speaker 2: of it, so I'm going to talk about it right now.
14:50
Speaker 2: So this is Shane Steichen. You don't know who that is,
14:53
Speaker 2: likely unless you're Indianapolis and a Colts fan. He's the
14:55
Speaker 2: head coach there and he was peppered with questions on
15:01
Speaker 2: why should the fan, why should the season ticket holder
15:04
Speaker 2: of the Colts believe in Daniel Jones. He was an
15:08
Speaker 2: abject failure with the Giants and Shamesiken paused for a second.
15:14
Speaker 2: It wasn't a long pause, brief pause, and he said,
15:19
Speaker 2: I think that he meaning Daniel Jones, has proven that
15:23
Speaker 2: he's played good football in that twenty twenty two season.
15:28
Speaker 2: Stike In stated he had a hell of a year
15:31
Speaker 2: that year. The coach said, I think that was the
15:36
Speaker 2: highest completion rate in New York Giants franchise history that season.
15:41
Speaker 2: Stiking quote continues on Daniel Jones quote, He's proven to
15:47
Speaker 2: do it. I know he's had his ups and downs,
15:52
Speaker 2: but everyone's journey is different, and we feel confident in
15:57
Speaker 2: his abilities. Close quote question, how would you grade Shane
16:03
Speaker 2: Steiken's defense for Daniel Jones proving he can get it
16:08
Speaker 2: done with the Colts? Didn't get it done with the Giants?
16:12
Speaker 2: How's gonna get it done with the Colts? So that
16:14
Speaker 2: was a masterclass in football gas lighting with a capitol G.
16:22
Speaker 2: So let's break this apart scientifically. We'll put it under
16:25
Speaker 2: the Mallard microscope. So the quote, the first quote that
16:28
Speaker 2: stood out, Jones had a hell of a year in
16:30
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. A coach. It's Ben Maller, I do
16:34
Speaker 2: a little overnight show here at Fox Sports Radio. Coach. Yeah,
16:37
Speaker 2: that year where he had a hell of a year.
16:40
Speaker 2: The Giant offense looked like it was powered by a
16:44
Speaker 2: rotary phone. Who are you talking about? They won a
16:49
Speaker 2: playoff game against the Vikings. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, they
16:51
Speaker 2: beat Kirk Cousins of the playoffs. That's true. You know
16:55
Speaker 2: where the Giants passing offense ranked with Daniel Jones, Yeah,
17:00
Speaker 2: we're twenty sixth in the NFL in twenty twenty two.
17:04
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a year. Can I have Shane
17:08
Speaker 2: Steike is my boss creating my work? If that's a
17:10
Speaker 2: hell of a year. That's a hell of a year
17:14
Speaker 2: if you're at a haunted house for checkdowns. So Shane
17:18
Speaker 2: Steigen is really telling the Indianapolis fan listen, I know
17:23
Speaker 2: it didn't work out with the Giants, but it's gonna
17:25
Speaker 2: work out now. And I'm your financial advisor, and I
17:28
Speaker 2: would like you to buy on your app on your
17:30
Speaker 2: phone where you buy stocks. I would like you to
17:32
Speaker 2: invest in Radio Shack. I want you to buy Radio
17:35
Speaker 2: Shack stock in twenty twenty five because they're gonna make
17:38
Speaker 2: a big comeback. Okay. He said Jones had the highest
17:42
Speaker 2: completion rate in Giant's history, and while true, you know
17:46
Speaker 2: what that means if you go back and look at
17:48
Speaker 2: the tape. There were a lot of three yard slants
17:50
Speaker 2: to Richie James back in twenty twenty two. It's kind
17:53
Speaker 2: of like bragging that your kid is an honors student,
18:00
Speaker 2: straight a's, and you don't explain the rest of the story.
18:05
Speaker 2: As the Great Paul Harvey would say, all of the
18:08
Speaker 2: kids classes were gym classes. It's the amazing randy of
18:12
Speaker 2: quarterback spin, sleight of hand, smoking mirrors, and that's a
18:17
Speaker 2: little salesman razzle, dazzle and all that. Like the Colts
18:21
Speaker 2: quarterback plan. They're not rebuilding, they're rebranding failure. Like, all right,
18:29
Speaker 2: we got this furniture that's kind of old and it
18:31
Speaker 2: smells musty. Let's just move it around. Why not? And
18:35
Speaker 2: Stikeen sound if you remember, I used to watch The Simpsons.
18:37
Speaker 2: I haven't watched it much recently, but Homer Simpson had
18:40
Speaker 2: a great quote one time. He said everybody is stupid
18:42
Speaker 2: except me. And that's what Shane Steikeen sounds like, as
18:45
Speaker 2: like Homer Simpson, everybody is stupid except me. Now I
18:48
Speaker 2: get it. He's got to defend the indefensible decision. There
18:53
Speaker 2: was no good decision because either way, the Colts were
18:55
Speaker 2: absolutely porked here. If they had gone with Anthony Richardson,
18:59
Speaker 2: well he sucks, he can't. And they brought in Daniel Jones,
19:02
Speaker 2: and we know we know more that Daniel Jones sucks
19:05

19:09
Speaker 2: was a combo platter for the Colts. And and he's like, well,
19:13
Speaker 2: I got optimism, but there's also a delusion. You know,
19:15
Speaker 2: it's really leaned in. He leaned into coach b It's like,
19:21
Speaker 2: let me cherry pick a mid tier stat and I'm
19:26

20:21
Speaker 2: now opening their eyes to the fact that a sport

Speaker 2: has crossed over the rubicon and become full professional wrestling,
20:30
Speaker 2: although it's not professional wrestling. We'll get to that. And
20:33
Speaker 2: also the sport that you didn't know you needed to
20:36
Speaker 2: watch because you don't need to watch it. That somehow
20:39

22:31
Speaker 2: was it was National Radio Day. He said there was
22:35
Speaker 2: Was that yesterday or today?
22:36
Speaker 4: I don't know it was yesterday.
22:38
Speaker 2: It was yesterday, yes, so I must have missed it.
22:43
Speaker 2: I did the company send us like chocolates or something
22:46
Speaker 2: like that? We do national radio. Did we get any
22:48
Speaker 2: gift from the company.
22:49
Speaker 7: No, I thank you from the company.
22:52
Speaker 2: We didn't get at Natta boy a pat on the back. Nothing,
22:55
Speaker 2: No good job by you. No, Maybe they just gotten
23:00
Speaker 2: my spam. It's in the spam folder. You think it
23:02
Speaker 2: might be in the spam folder.
23:04
Speaker 4: I got to the producer's computer.
23:06
Speaker 2: You did, congratulations. That's only because the other one died.
23:10
Speaker 4: Though, Yeah, and I but then this new one doesn't
23:13
Speaker 4: access you know, our our network drive.
23:18
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well they'll get that fixed in a couple of months,
23:20
Speaker 2: it'll be good to go. So just you wait a
23:21
Speaker 2: couple of months, it'll be good to go on that.
23:23
Speaker 2: So yeah, National Radio Day. Another one of these fugazy holidays.
23:28
Speaker 2: Where I used to talk about these on my the
23:30
Speaker 2: podcast on the weekends, the Fifth Hour podcast, me and
23:32
Speaker 2: Danny g we talked about these, and I just I've
23:34
Speaker 2: kind of gotten away from that because it's, you know,
23:37
Speaker 2: a little dope everyone. In a while, I'll mention one
23:40
Speaker 2: and that's that's that. Ferg Dog says, I'm a Charger fan,
23:44
Speaker 2: and I think suspending Jim Harblow is a terrible idea.
23:47
Speaker 2: I think Irvin Myers just mad that it's been two
23:51
Speaker 2: thousand and ninety days and so Ohio State has beaten Michigan.
23:55
Speaker 2: So from fergdalk marked the full name guy. He writes it.
24:01
Speaker 2: He says, Mallard, I thought for sure you would want me.
24:04
Speaker 2: He marked the full name guy. Great in your work,
24:06
Speaker 2: don't you want the reputation my rants can afford you.
24:11
Speaker 2: And he says Jim Harbaugh has a big ego. That
24:16
Speaker 2: is true. Oh he agrees with my my take. He
24:19
Speaker 2: is a damn good coach, although he said darn and
24:23
Speaker 2: I would question him personally though about one or two
24:25
Speaker 2: decisions while head coach in San Francisco. Two bad decisions
24:30
Speaker 2: out of thousands, two I objected to immediately, and one
24:36
Speaker 2: was going with Colin Kaepernick as the starting quarterback. That's
24:39
Speaker 2: from the Great Mark, the full name guy somewhere at
24:44
Speaker 2: a secret compound in Oregon where we're not sure. We're
24:50
Speaker 2: not sure, mister irrigation says. The world is standing by
24:53
Speaker 2: looking forward to that WNBA update. There you go. Listen.
24:57
Speaker 2: I don't make the rules around here, but the ratings.
25:01
Speaker 2: When Caitlin Clark doesn't play, no one's watching. So maybe
25:05
Speaker 2: they should stop doing that. I don't know, but uh,
25:08
Speaker 2: each their own. Why not knock yourself out. Let's go
25:10
Speaker 2: back to the phones and let's say hello, who do
25:13
Speaker 2: we have here? All right?
25:16
Speaker 3: Uh?
25:16
Speaker 2: Well, Felexis was there, had a golden ticket but apparently hung.
25:20
Speaker 7: Up by f Alexis.
25:23
Speaker 2: Why would you call up to use a golden ticket
25:25
Speaker 2: and then not. I mean, you were next in line.
25:28
Speaker 7: Ben even told them they'd have to wait just over
25:30
Speaker 7: the top of the hour, was it?
25:32
Speaker 2: I did? I did? I did tell them that. No,
25:34
Speaker 2: I told him that I didn't. Yeah, you did, say, Ben, Okay,
25:40
Speaker 2: everything okay, excited going to Vegas.
25:45
Speaker 4: She just told me that she's nervous. Sighted, Yeah, I'm nervous.
25:48
Speaker 2: Why why are you? Why are you nervous? What are
25:49
Speaker 2: you worried about? There's nothing to be nerve. You were,
25:52
Speaker 2: you were, You were there last year at this thing. Right,
25:54
Speaker 2: we did one last year at the same venue.
25:56
Speaker 7: You're right, You're right.
25:57
Speaker 2: It was fine. You know who. I don't know who's
25:59
Speaker 2: going to be there, and we'll find out. I'll be surprised,
26:03
Speaker 2: you know, maybe no one will show up, and then
26:04
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about any Ofthmore.
26:05
Speaker 4: Scott says that I'm sure he told you about this
26:10
Speaker 4: in one of the you know, forty emails that he sent.
26:12
Speaker 2: I'm sure I stopped opening the email.
26:14
Speaker 4: Oh okay. He says that he promoted it on the
26:17
Speaker 4: morning show.
26:19
Speaker 2: Oh, on the Sports Hub.
26:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't remember what show.
26:23
Speaker 2: So he realized Boston is rather far away from Vegas.
26:26
Speaker 2: Do you understands geography that. Yeah, you know, we love
26:29
Speaker 2: our people in Boston. We do very well on the
26:31
Speaker 2: Sports Hub. It's the number one sports station in the
26:33
Speaker 2: country in terms of ratings and the audioboff, and we're very
26:36
Speaker 2: lucky to have four hours when no one's awakened Boston
26:39
Speaker 2: to be on that station. So we're very grateful for that. However,
26:43
Speaker 2: like he just jump on a plane last minute.
26:46
Speaker 4: He said, I plugged the meet and greet today. I
26:48
Speaker 4: do think you get over one hundred people.
26:56
Speaker 2: Well, I mean we've we've gotten around that in a
26:58
Speaker 2: few of them, but it's like it doesn't happen most
27:01
Speaker 2: of the time. I mean it's usually, but the people
27:03
Speaker 2: come and go to they have a lot of people
27:05
Speaker 2: have stuff going on on the weekend.
27:07
Speaker 7: I have enough name tags for everybody, you do, you sure?
27:10
Speaker 7: And I have really colorful gel pens too, so you
27:13
Speaker 7: can choose what color you want.
27:14
Speaker 2: That's very nice. And do we think that our friend
27:16
Speaker 2: mouthwash Mike will show up? Do we think he'll show up?
27:19
Speaker 4: I sure, hope. So I brought a special bottle just
27:21
Speaker 4: for him.
27:21
Speaker 2: You did, Okay, So if anyone can get a hold
27:24
Speaker 2: of anyone who deals with the homeless in Vegas. If
27:26
Speaker 2: you can get ahold of mouthwash, Mike, we'd love to.
27:28
Speaker 4: Did we have the last time we talked to him?
27:31
Speaker 4: Did we have the date nailed down?
27:34
Speaker 2: No? I don't think so. Yeah. Yeah, even if we did, though,
27:38
Speaker 2: he's got he's got some stuff going on. He's got something,
27:41
Speaker 2: and I'm sure, well, yeah there's that. Yeah, he's in
27:47
Speaker 2: and out of hospitals and in and out of jail.
27:49
Speaker 2: That happens. I was happy to hear from mister PC.
27:52
Speaker 2: That great song we played yesterday from mister PC, and
27:56
Speaker 2: I haven't heard from him in a while. And he
27:59
Speaker 2: reached out to the show Go back Well emailed and
28:02
Speaker 2: he said, play the hits, mom man, play the hit, say,
28:04
Speaker 2: quoting the old boss here. And he says, if I
28:07
Speaker 2: knew Jay Scoop, Angry Bill or Blind Scott, we're going
28:09
Speaker 2: to be there. I'd be encouraged to drive further. You
28:13
Speaker 2: never know. Yeah, I told him about the He says
28:17
Speaker 2: he wants to come down. We do the Ohio meeting,
28:19
Speaker 2: but he's in Michigan and we don't have a venue
28:22
Speaker 2: yet in Ohio. I thought, I know, full disclosure, I
28:25
Speaker 2: thought I had a venue. I was talking to somebody,
28:28
Speaker 2: and they kind of bailed on me. So now I'm
28:31
Speaker 2: back to the drawing board on the Ohio Meet and greet,
28:35
Speaker 2: much of the dismay of Dick and Dayton, who I
28:36
Speaker 2: am convinced every time Dick and Dayton calls the show,
28:40
Speaker 2: he is going to bring that up until I meet him,
28:43
Speaker 2: and then, much like hollering James, once I meet Dick
28:46
Speaker 2: and Dayton, every time after I do the meet and greet,
28:49
Speaker 2: he will then reference the meeting. So that's the way
28:52
Speaker 2: that's going to go. That's the way that's going to go. Now.
28:55
Speaker 2: I did see this sor. I thought this was interesting
28:56
Speaker 2: because I'm a little skeptical. I always take what I
29:00
Speaker 2: hear from these teams with a grain of salt. So
29:02
Speaker 2: there was a story bouncing around that Lamar Jacks, a
29:06
Speaker 2: multi died time MVP in the NFL, that he's hurt.
29:12
Speaker 2: Now he did leave practice early, he left practice early,
29:15
Speaker 2: and there's conflicting reports on what's actually going on. The
29:19
Speaker 2: Ravens say he's fine, he's he was at a foot situation.
29:25
Speaker 2: His foot was stepped on at Raven's practice and everyone's like, oh,
29:30
Speaker 2: they took they took a gasp, But like Oh my god.
29:34
Speaker 2: Now the team's are all. He's okay, he's fine. It
29:36
Speaker 2: was just as scare. There's nothing to see here. But
29:39
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna see if he practices. Uh,
29:43
Speaker 2: there's a lot of exhibition games like like right away,
29:46
Speaker 2: like this is Thursday, and they try to get all
29:48
Speaker 2: these games out of the way because the break, the
29:51
Speaker 2: gap before the regular season year is upon us, and
29:55
Speaker 2: so they want to have that extra time for rest
29:57
Speaker 2: and relaxation before they're real the real NFL games begin,
30:01
Speaker 2: and then it gets excited. So the Ravens, where do they
30:05
Speaker 2: play this weekend? The Ravens exhibition game? See, I should
30:07
Speaker 2: have checked in with my guy sports with Coleman, because
30:10
Speaker 2: he has all the raven information and he knows the
30:13
Speaker 2: spread Ravens played the Commanders. That's not till Saturday. So
30:18
Speaker 2: like a light workout today, Probably light workout today, I
30:21
Speaker 2: would say, So, we'll see if he plays in that game.
30:24
Speaker 2: But there's uh, what do we got? We got a
30:26
Speaker 2: couple of games today in the NFL tonight, Steelers and Panthers.
30:30
Speaker 2: I will not be watching that. I will not be
30:32
Speaker 2: watching the Patriots and Giants, which will be playing tonight,
30:35
Speaker 2: and there's a bunch of games on Friday, and then
30:37
Speaker 2: pretty much everyone else on Saturday. That's it. No exhibition
30:41
Speaker 2: games on Sunday. So we'll see what's going on. All right,
30:45
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
30:48
Speaker 2: Eenie Meanie mining Mode. Let's go now to a semi
30:53
Speaker 2: regular call he didn't call very often, once a quarter
30:57
Speaker 2: to the great State of North Dakota. And we say
31:01
Speaker 2: hello to Screaming, the one and only Screaming Stephen. Hello, streaming.
31:09
Speaker 3: Are you doing bad? Because there's wonderful How are you doing?
31:14
Speaker 2: If I was any better, I'd be sleeping, But I'm
31:16
Speaker 2: here talking.
31:16
Speaker 1: So it's all question about the meet and Greek.
31:20
Speaker 3: You got a National championship quarterback as a Vegas Raider,
31:24
Speaker 3: Cam Miller from the Bison.
31:25
Speaker 4: He's a raider.
31:28
Speaker 2: Tell him to come down to the mean greet. We're
31:30
Speaker 2: not paying. Everybody can come down.
31:32
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I don't know him personally.
31:35
Speaker 2: Why not, man? I thought everyone. I thought everyone in
31:37
Speaker 2: North Dakota knew everyone else about North Dakota is not
31:39
Speaker 2: that big.
31:40
Speaker 3: We were harvesting potatoes, the little baby Yukon goals and pontiac.
31:46
Speaker 2: I love those those Oh my god, those are so good.
31:51
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that is is that the king of
31:53
Speaker 2: the potato? Is that the guy? Yeah, butter on that
31:58
Speaker 2: you cook that properly, pull litle seasoning on their little
32:00
Speaker 2: pepper or whatever. My god, is that great.
32:02
Speaker 3: The science of it, man, the science of it is
32:05
Speaker 3: you have to go in the mills the hills and
32:07
Speaker 3: they'll poke through and you have to grab them or
32:11
Speaker 3: covered with dirts. We grabbed when they're young, and we
32:13
Speaker 3: ever ate a potato chip with green.
32:16
Speaker 1: On the edges.
32:18
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, what is that? What is that? Explain that
32:20
Speaker 2: to me? Give me, Give me that science.
32:22
Speaker 3: You know why the potato comes on the earth and
32:26
Speaker 3: he hits the sun and the sun turns a little
32:28
Speaker 3: edge of it green. But in the factory they just
32:30
Speaker 3: sliced it up anyway because they don't have to want
32:32
Speaker 3: to waiste anything.
32:34
Speaker 2: Science. It's full, that's science. So it's okay. So like
32:38
Speaker 2: you know, the green potato, that's an okay thing. You're
32:40
Speaker 2: not gonna get sick or anything eating green potatoes. You're
32:43
Speaker 2: okay with it.
32:43
Speaker 3: Oh no, No, it's just because it was bleached by
32:47
Speaker 3: the sun or a bunked by.
32:49
Speaker 2: The sun, burnt by the sun. Okay, I got burnt
32:51
Speaker 2: by somebody. And one time I made a garlic pizza.
32:54
Speaker 2: Me and the wife made a garlic pizza and we
32:56
Speaker 2: bought some some garlic. I think it might have been
32:58
Speaker 2: from China or something. And it's the stuff turned green
33:01
Speaker 2: on the on the pizza when I cooked it. That
33:02
Speaker 2: scared us. We were a little scared of.
33:05
Speaker 3: I don't know about that.
33:06
Speaker 1: I'm not I like pizza, but I never I don't.
33:10
Speaker 3: Know all the science of pizza. Yeah, but you're farming
33:14
Speaker 3: and vegetables.
33:16
Speaker 2: So you're a farmer, and that's what you do.
33:18
Speaker 6: We got we got.
33:19
Speaker 4: Vegetable gardens, and we got the chickens.
33:21
Speaker 3: You member. We bought the stuff at tractor supply, remember, yeah.
33:27
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well wonder for now. You're trying to
33:35
Speaker 2: suck up screaming Steve. Hey, Hey, hey, screaming Steve. We're
33:39
Speaker 2: gonna make some new opens for the show. Can you say, hey,
33:41
Speaker 2: this is screaming Steve, and I support the Ben Maler show.
33:46
Speaker 3: Is scream and Steven, I am hem support the Ben

Speaker 2: the real scream and Steve right there. Legend. Boots on
34:07
Speaker 2: the ground. Boots on the Ground, update update update. Boots
34:10
Speaker 2: on the Ground from Baltimore says that Lamar will not
34:14
Speaker 2: play in that exhibition game regardless. You don't say, but
34:18
Speaker 2: we will see if he practices today developing hoto dot
34:24
Speaker 2: dot dot. That that message. I will not say who
34:26
Speaker 2: sent that message, but it did have the eyeball looking
34:30
Speaker 2: down emoji to the side, and I interpreted I interpreted
34:36
Speaker 2: that eyeball to the side emoji as a sign that
34:41
Speaker 2: there is trouble on the horizon. That is how I
34:44
Speaker 2: interpreted that there is trouble on the horizon I did.
34:48
Speaker 2: That's my interpretation. It's my take. You can't get upset.
34:52
Speaker 2: It's my take. Fergdug says, why does screaming Stephen constantly scream?
34:56
Speaker 2: Does he have a medical condition? Well, we hung off
34:59
Speaker 2: on him, so I'll never I'll never be able to
35:02
