0:00
Speaker 1: Zippity-doo-dah, zippity-day, it's our number one, hour one of the
0:07
Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show, as we are united here, yappity-yapping away
0:13
Speaker 1: on the podcast. We stayed up all night for Fresh Pod,
0:16
Speaker 1: all night for Fresh Pod, and here we are together again.
0:20
Speaker 1: And on this edition of the Ben Maller Show, before
0:24
Speaker 1: we tell you what's coming up this hour, a reminder...
0:26
Speaker 1: that the Friday edition of the Fifth Hour podcast is
0:31
Speaker 1: up and some craziness on that podcast. We actually went
0:35
Speaker 1: to the mailbag early. This is not a full mailbag,
0:37
Speaker 1: but this guy Jim from Ohio, he sent in something
0:42
Speaker 1: that kind of triggered a rant. So I went on
0:44
Speaker 1: a rant responding to Jim from Ohio, and we usually
0:48
Speaker 1: save those messages for Sunday. It involves the verbal octagon.
0:54
Speaker 1: and what has happened to the verbal octagon, the future
0:57
Speaker 1: of the verbal octagon. So if you're a big fan
0:58
Speaker 1: of the show, you want to hear about that, as
1:00
Speaker 1: it is something that triggered me. Also... We tell you
1:05
Speaker 1: why I was years ago like Sinatra at the Sands.
1:08
Speaker 1: You'll find out about that. That's all coming up on
1:10
Speaker 1: the 5th Hour Podcast today. It's available wherever you get
1:12
Speaker 1: your podcasts. Well, if you don't like that episode, we'll
1:14
Speaker 1: have a new episode tomorrow on Saturday. And then again
1:17
Speaker 1: on Sunday, you can gobble down the mailbag edition of
1:20
Speaker 1: the 5th Hour. But here in Hour 1, how humiliating
1:24
Speaker 1: is it for Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to lose to
1:27
Speaker 1: the Browns' Deshaun Watson? In this spot, Bengals, Bengals, the
1:33
Speaker 1: Steelers were down pretty much the whole game. An early
1:35
Speaker 1: touchdown after that, down by two scores. Came back to
1:38
Speaker 1: tie it, and then they lost late. Also, what is
1:41
Speaker 1: your takeaway from Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy barking at
1:44
Speaker 1: each other during the Steelers game, caught on candid camera?
1:48
Speaker 1: And are you now a believer in the Deshaun Watson
1:52
Speaker 1: 3-1 Cleveland squad being authentic? Do you believe in them? Well,
1:56
Speaker 1: I'm going to fly off the handle on that. We'll
1:59
Speaker 1: get to all of it and more right now. Here
2:01
Speaker 1: it is. Our number one. Ding dong. Here it is. Well,
2:09
Speaker 1: what can Brown do for you? Apparently win a game
2:12
Speaker 1: in primetime. Welcome in the beginning of another. Night of
2:19
Speaker 1: the Ben Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere.
2:26
Speaker 1: Taking up bandwidth as we cross-examine the headlines of the day.
2:32
Speaker 1: Coast to coast, border to border. and beyond on the
2:37
Speaker 1: vast and massively powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from
2:46
Speaker 1: the hammer as we hammer away the hot takes guaranteed
2:52
Speaker 1: human from the world-famous Fox Sports Radio studios where The legend,
2:59
Speaker 1: Al Theopiner, along with his cohorts Ferg Dog and Mallard
3:03
Speaker 1: Prop Guy, wants you to know. that this portion of

Speaker 1: changes everything. Stream the MLB postseason live on Fox One.
3:44
Speaker 1: So make sure to check that out. And we begin
3:49
Speaker 1: anew here on the big show. And I was debating,
3:52
Speaker 1: should we start with the baseball? The baseball game was
3:54
Speaker 1: pretty much over in the bottom of the first inning.
3:57
Speaker 1: The Phillies. We'll have plenty of time to dissect, do
4:02
Speaker 1: the autopsy on the fight and fills. We also have
4:05
Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny. which will be coming up here
4:09
Speaker 1: in a little bit. We're excited, but that'll be in
4:11
Speaker 1: hour two. So if you're trying to get in, if
4:13
Speaker 1: you're one of these crazy people that like to call up,
4:15
Speaker 1: hour one, and then after that, you got to wait
4:17
Speaker 1: till hour three, and then we'll reopen the phone lines
4:21
Speaker 1: there in hour number three. But our lead this hour,
4:25
Speaker 1: don't bury the lead, my man. Let's get right to it.
4:28
Speaker 1: Our lead from the mistake by the lake. It was
4:33
Speaker 1: the kickoff of NFL weekend number four. We're in week
4:37
Speaker 1: number four of the NFL on a Thursday night. Aaron
4:41
Speaker 1: Rodgers trying to deliver the knockout punch for the Steelers.
4:45
Speaker 1: They rolled into Ohio for a play date against Deshaun
4:49
Speaker 1: Watson and the Browns. Your dynamic duo, Al Michaels and Herbie,
4:55
Speaker 1: the $ 10 million seat filler till Sean McVay leaves the Rams,
4:58
Speaker 1: had the call on the Amazon app. Now, I don't
5:01
Speaker 1: know about you, but my God, did they try a
5:05
Speaker 1: little too hard to ram down our throats what a
5:07
Speaker 1: great rivalry this is? Why do I not think of
5:10
Speaker 1: this as a great rivalry? I just don't. The Browns
5:14
Speaker 1: have sucked for a generation plus, and we're supposed to say, oh,
5:18
Speaker 1: what a rivalry, because they're close to each other, Pittsburgh
5:21
Speaker 1: and Cleveland. Whoop-dee-damn-do. Trying a bit too hard. So I
5:26
Speaker 1: don't know if you watch this or not, maybe not.
5:29
Speaker 1: And don't worry, we were able to simultaneously watch two
5:32
Speaker 1: things at once. Watch the baseball game, which thank God
5:36
Speaker 1: was over after the first inning as the Phillies went
5:39
Speaker 1: flaccid in Atlanta. And so we got to focus on
5:43
Speaker 1: the football game. And the creepy quarterback everyone loves when
5:47
Speaker 1: the bad guy does well, Deshaun Watson, 268 yards passing.
5:53
Speaker 1: And he moved the Browns, matriculated the ball down the
5:57
Speaker 1: field to get into position for an Andre Schmidt career-long
6:02
Speaker 1: 56-yard field goal with 10 seconds left. And Cleveland. Gets
6:08
Speaker 1: a 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night.
6:14
Speaker 1: The Steelers just can't win one of these primetime games
6:18
Speaker 1: on the road in the division. So Watson completed 24
6:23
Speaker 1: of 33 passes, had a touchdown and an interception. And
6:28
Speaker 1: on that final go-ahead drive, Watson attempted five passes, completed
6:33
Speaker 1: four of them for 46 yards. And the go-ahead score there.
6:38
Speaker 1: Third straight week now. The Browns are in the win column.
6:42
Speaker 1: They're 3-1 for the first time since 2021. I was
6:45
Speaker 1: a little kid back in 2021. I barely remember that.
6:49
Speaker 1: So it's been a long time. Now, the better story
6:52
Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room where Aaron Rodgers nearly
6:58
Speaker 1: completed the two-touchdown comeback. He threw a three-yard touchdown pass
7:02
Speaker 1: play to Pat Friermuth. And that then led to the
7:08
Speaker 1: two-point conversion where Rodgers, after a penalty on Cleveland, had
7:11
Speaker 1: the quarterback keeper, and it was all tied up. Two-point conversion, good.
7:17
Speaker 1: Tied at 24 with 1.44 to go in the game.
7:23
Speaker 1: And Pittsburgh would go on, of course, to lose the game.
7:27
Speaker 1: They go on to lose the game, and that is
7:30
Speaker 1: a good jumping-off point. So let us discuss the question.
7:35
Speaker 1: How humiliating, how humiliating is it for Steelers quarterback Aaron
7:41
Speaker 1: Rodgers to lose to the Browns' Deshaun Watson in this spot.
7:47
Speaker 1: All right, so I've got Boombox, Dunkin' Donuts, and Guantanamo Bay.
7:53
Speaker 1: And we'll put all of these things together, and we
7:57
Speaker 1: are going to stick the landing is what we're going
7:59
Speaker 1: to do. We're going to stick the landing. So, A,
8:02
Speaker 1: the fact that Cleveland... was able to manhandle Pittsburgh in
8:07
Speaker 1: the first half and play with the lead. You know
8:10
Speaker 1: what that is for the Steelers? That is an elbow
8:13
Speaker 1: right to the nuts is what that is. You're the Steelers.
8:17
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be the bully. You're supposed to bully Cleveland.
8:21
Speaker 1: And instead, Cleveland gave you the industrial strength wedgie. Three
8:24
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the second quarter there for the Pittsburgh Steelers
8:28
Speaker 1: and against the Steelers for the Cleveland Browns. And so
8:31
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh spends the rest of the game playing uphill. barefoot
8:37
Speaker 1: and they were trying to carry a walrus up the
8:39
Speaker 1: hill on their back they had a walrus i don't
8:42
Speaker 1: know where it came from i don't know where it
8:44
Speaker 1: came but there was a walrus on their back and
8:46
Speaker 1: they fall behind by two touchdowns they somehow complete the
8:50
Speaker 1: comeback and immediately say you know what we don't want
8:54
Speaker 1: this we're going to give this right back to you
8:57
Speaker 1: and the much ballyhooed Defense of the Pittsburgh Steelers let
9:03
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and friends march into field goal range at
9:07
Speaker 1: the end. That's embarrassing. It's kind of like a contractor
9:11
Speaker 1: you hire and they they fix your your bathroom like
9:16
Speaker 1: a luxury master bathroom type thing and then. As they're
9:20
Speaker 1: finishing up and they're putting their tools in the truck,
9:23
Speaker 1: the guy backs his Ford F-150 right through the garage. Well,
9:27
Speaker 1: you screwed that up. Now we've got to get that fixed, too.
9:29
Speaker 1: So that's a bad job by you. To think a
9:31
Speaker 1: wide receiver, DK Metcalf, who had deserved all the criticism
9:35
Speaker 1: he got. He'd been terrible. Not only a wide receiver,
9:37
Speaker 1: but terrible the first few weeks of the year. He
9:40
Speaker 1: finally wakes up from his season-long coma. Now, he wasn't perfect.
9:44
Speaker 1: He cut five of nine passes, which is not great.
9:47
Speaker 1: But he had 115 yards. And he looked around and said,
9:51
Speaker 1: wait a minute. I had 115 yards receiving and we
9:54
Speaker 1: still lost the game? And so at 2-2, Pittsburgh remains
9:58
Speaker 1: in the game. old neighborhood Mike Tomlin used to live in.
10:03
Speaker 1: And you can cue up the boom box. Get that
10:05
Speaker 1: boom box going there. Lou Bega's updated classic. It's no
10:08
Speaker 1: longer Mambo No. 5. It's Mambo No. 500. The mediocrity
10:13
Speaker 1: Mambo for the Steelers continues there. And Mike McCarthy, new coach.
10:17
Speaker 1: Same dance floor here after four games. The Steelers are
10:20
Speaker 1: the same team they had been. Very mid. Very mid.
10:24
Speaker 1: Now staying with Pittsburgh. Now let's get to the good
10:28
Speaker 1: stuff here. So we had a volcanic eruption on the sidelines.
10:34
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Kaboom! On the Steelers' sideline there during the
10:40
Speaker 1: loss to Cleveland. Apparently was not real happy with the
10:45
Speaker 1: Play calling and the communication did not go very well.
10:48
Speaker 1: So midway through the first quarter, the Amazon cameras caught
10:52
Speaker 1: Rodgers yelling towards the bench. And you don't have to
10:56
Speaker 1: be a great lip reader to know. He said, what
10:59
Speaker 1: the F? Call it. Call it. As in, what the fun, K? Fun, K. Fun, K.
11:08
Speaker 1: Call it. So the broadcast then showed Mike McCarthy. Returning fire,
11:14
Speaker 1: an eye for an eye with his own profane insult
11:19
Speaker 1: over the headset. I'm sure Steeler lapdog Ben Roethlisberger right
11:21
Speaker 1: now doing a podcast saying, well, it's because Amazon showed
11:24
Speaker 1: him on TV. That's why it happens, because, oh, my God,
11:27
Speaker 1: he shouldn't show the quarterback and the coach on TV.
11:29
Speaker 1: It's not fair. Yeah, OK, shut up. Let's hear from
11:34
Speaker 1: the barking coach, the barking player. Let's start now. with
11:38
Speaker 1: the barking player here's the rotund mike mccarthy who gave
11:43
Speaker 1: his side of the story on what went on with
11:45
Speaker 1: aaron rogers take.
11:46
Speaker 2: A listen communication sometimes is not the best choice of
11:49
Speaker 2: words but everybody's competing on the field and i think
11:52
Speaker 2: you know um but said on the field the way
11:55
Speaker 2: i grew up in this game you know usually stays
11:57
Speaker 2: on the field that's not the case today i understand
11:59
Speaker 2: that but um yeah any negative communication on my part
12:04
Speaker 2: i wish i wouldn't use those words.
12:07
Speaker 1: All that, please. So he thought the NFL was like Vegas.
12:11
Speaker 1: What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. What happens on
12:13
Speaker 1: the field stays in the field. But here's more. Let's
12:16
Speaker 1: hear from Aaron Rodgers. I'm sure this will be pleasant
12:19
Speaker 1: and not fire-brained at all. Here's Rodgers giving his side
12:22
Speaker 1: of what happened. Take a listen. I mean, it was loud.
12:24
Speaker 1: It was definitely a good crowd tonight. It was loud.
12:28
Speaker 1: So some of the calls, it was hard to hear,
12:30
Speaker 1: for sure. That's all. It's already here. All right, so
12:35
Speaker 1: McCarthy acknowledging, yeah, you know, language, you know, competition, all
12:39
Speaker 1: that stuff. And Rodgers, oh, that was loud. There you go.
12:42
Speaker 1: So this continues now. I believe that's three times this
12:44
Speaker 1: year we've had a flare-up, a hot spot for the Steelers. Oh,
12:49
Speaker 1: why are you bringing this up, Maller? I know.
12:52
Speaker 3: I know.
12:52
Speaker 1: So you had the Bengal game where Rodgers was mouthing off.
12:57
Speaker 1: The game in New England, Rodgers after the game said that,
13:02
Speaker 1: He essentially said McCarthy and the coaching staff were not
13:06
Speaker 1: working with the players properly and all that. Now you
13:08
Speaker 1: have this. So the question, what is your takeaway from
13:12
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy barking at each other during
13:16
Speaker 1: the Steelers' latest loss in primetime? So to answer this,
13:21
Speaker 1: I have turned to the good doctor, Dr. Maller. And Dr.
13:26
Speaker 1: Maller has chimed in. And the diagnosis, very swift here.
13:29
Speaker 1: We didn't have to wait too long here. And Rodgers
13:32
Speaker 1: has been diagnosed with acute IDGAF. It is a common
13:39
Speaker 1: illness that affects older athletes. And you can look it
13:44
Speaker 1: up in any medical journal. It's IDGAF. I don't give a,
13:48
Speaker 1: and then I forget what the F stands for, chronic
13:50
Speaker 1: sideline inflammation. Look at him out there. Rodgers isn't managing
13:58
Speaker 1: relationships anymore. He's not. He's managing the irritation. His give
14:04
Speaker 1: a damn meter. The Aaron Rodgers give a damn meter
14:07
Speaker 1: is not just low. Somebody stole it when he played
14:11
Speaker 1: for the Jets. It's gone. It's gone. And this is
14:15
Speaker 1: what happens when a quarterback plays long enough to reach
14:20
Speaker 1: what we call the what are you going to do?
14:22
Speaker 1: Bench me period of his career. That's that's where we are.
14:27
Speaker 1: The decorum is gone. And Rodgers has always been a
14:30
Speaker 1: bit of a hothead, a cantankerous guy. Now he's a
14:33
Speaker 1: cantankerous old crank. No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more Mr.
14:38
Speaker 1: Nice Guy. Now, I love it. It's great for the
14:40
Speaker 1: talk show. I love that Rodgers is like this. It's
14:43
Speaker 1: so good. And he is completely unfiltered, unprocessed, and unsanitized.
14:51
Speaker 1: Pure farm-to-table aggregation for Rodgers. And after decades... Of seemingly
14:58
Speaker 1: worrying about doing things the right way. You got to
15:02
Speaker 1: do things the right way. He's finally hit the who
15:05
Speaker 1: am I trying to impress stage of life, which is
15:08
Speaker 1: always fun. We always hope we get old enough. We
15:11
Speaker 1: live long enough to get to that point where you
15:12
Speaker 1: can be the guy that just harasses the waiters. at
15:15
Speaker 1: the restaurant. Rogers is there. At some point, the brain
15:19
Speaker 1: standards and practices department gets laid off, and Rogers has
15:24
Speaker 1: become the quarterback version of the old guy at the
15:27
Speaker 1: donut shop, the Dunkin' Donuts, who's been waiting for four
15:31
Speaker 1: minutes for his dozen donuts and demands to see the manager. Well, no,
15:36
Speaker 1: it's only been four minutes, sir. Well, no, I want
15:38
Speaker 1: to see the manager. I shouldn't be waiting. But it's
15:40
Speaker 1: been four minutes. It takes a little longer than four minutes.
15:43
Speaker 1: But I want to talk to the manager. No, sir,
15:45
Speaker 1: you're an a-hole. No, no, it's a you problem. All right,
15:49
Speaker 1: last word to the Cleveland side of things. And they
15:53
Speaker 1: were really buttering the biscuits or the brownies there on Amazon.
15:59
Speaker 1: Al Michaels, when he wasn't talking about Dave Concepcion... was
16:02
Speaker 1: celebrating the brownies there so the question are you a
16:06
Speaker 1: believer in the elf from cleveland that's their mascot uh
16:12
Speaker 1: deshaun watson's three and one cleveland squad are you a
16:15
Speaker 1: believer in them being authentic does this have staying power
16:20
Speaker 1: yeah sure listen i've seen enough i think we should
16:22
Speaker 1: cancel the rest of the nfl season right now cleveland
16:25
Speaker 1: is three and one Why don't we just give Deshaun
16:28
Speaker 1: Watson the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, because
16:31
Speaker 1: a lot of the NFL media is trying to give
16:32
Speaker 1: him that. And the Browns are closing in on 72
16:38
Speaker 1: Dolphins territory. We'll just pretend that first loss didn't happen.
16:42
Speaker 1: And they should actually move some of their home games
16:44
Speaker 1: from Cleveland over to Canton. And just play there because
16:47
Speaker 1: all these players are going to end up enshrined with
16:50
Speaker 1: gold jackets. Never mind the 14 penalties against Pittsburgh or
16:54
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson missing some bunny throws that Stevie Meatballs and
16:59
Speaker 1: Inca Terror would have seen were open. Who cares about that?
17:04
Speaker 1: I mean, come on. They beat Tampa Bay, Carolina, and
17:09
Speaker 1: now the Steelers. That is a murderer's row. Don't even
17:12
Speaker 1: worry about playing Baltimore in the division. I guess you
17:16
Speaker 1: don't have to play Kansas City or Buffalo, so you
17:18
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that. Here is Todd Munkin,
17:22
Speaker 1: the Munk Man. Todd Munkin here commenting on his happy
17:27
Speaker 1: little quarterback. Take a listen. Happy for Deshaun.
17:31
Speaker 4: Not happy at a sack there at the end, but
17:35
Speaker 4: three straight fourth quarter comebacks.
17:38
Speaker 1: Really cool. Really cool for him. He's got that Doc
17:42
Speaker 1: Rivers voice where you want to give him a throat
17:44
Speaker 1: lozenge and say, hey, dude, go to the doctor. You
17:46
Speaker 1: got something wrong with your throat. Well, here is the
17:48
Speaker 1: man of the hour, according to the Amazon people, the
17:51
Speaker 1: Walter Payton man of the year. Mother Teresa with a
17:54
Speaker 1: football in his hands. Deshaun Watson. Hey, Deshaun, you said
17:58
Speaker 1: F the Browns fans before. What do you think of
18:00
Speaker 1: the Browns fans now, Deshaun? It was electric. It was amazing.
18:03
Speaker 5: From the time we came out pregame, you know, it
18:07
Speaker 5: was super dope to be called out and hit a
18:09
Speaker 5: crowd and, you know, feel the energy. And then just
18:13
Speaker 5: from start to finish, the crowd was in it, the
18:15
Speaker 5: energy of the stadium, we fed off them. And You know,
18:18
Speaker 5: to get a big victory against a division rivalry on primetime,
18:22
Speaker 5: it was just, I mean, this is what you dream about.
18:25
Speaker 1: This is what you work for.
18:26
Speaker 5: This is the things that, you know, you put that
18:28
Speaker 5: grind in the summertime and train and camp for nights
18:30
Speaker 5: like this.
18:31
Speaker 1: So it was amazing. Yeah, he definitely did grind on
18:33
Speaker 1: those massage therapists. He definitely did do some grinding on
18:36
Speaker 1: them for sure. And it's all about that. You know,
18:39
Speaker 1: as a little kid, you dream of winning a week
18:40
Speaker 1: four game. That is what you're dreaming about. We all
18:43
Speaker 1: agree on that. Listen, Deshaun Watson, here's where he's at.
18:46
Speaker 1: So if you look at the big board here, not
18:48
Speaker 1: a list, a big board, Deshaun Watson has escaped from
18:51
Speaker 1: Guantanamo Bay. He's now at a halfway house with lukewarm water.
18:57
Speaker 1: And that's that's where we are. That's where we are.
19:01
Speaker 1: And so I'm not hopping on the ooey-gooey Browns choo-choo train.
19:05
Speaker 1: I'm not. Now, the Browns do play a terrible schedule,
19:08
Speaker 1: meaning they play a lot of crap bag teams as well. Eventually,
19:11
Speaker 1: they'll realize they're a crap bag team, and reality will
19:15
Speaker 1: settle in, and we'll be here to document it when
19:17
Speaker 1: that happens. Right now, that's not the case. I think
19:19
Speaker 1: they have another cupcake coming up here, a cream puff
19:21
Speaker 1: with Jets. So that's good for the Browns. This thing's
19:24
Speaker 1: being held together by duct tape, penalty flags, and three
19:28
Speaker 1: wins over teams. that will all be watching the playoffs together,
19:32
Speaker 1: eating chicken wings at Buffalo Wild Wings. And so eventually
19:36
Speaker 1: the train will derail and we will be here for that.
19:40
Speaker 1: It's not there yet. So it's feeling good. Oh, here
19:43
Speaker 1: we go. Just like those annoying Raider aficionados. It's like
19:48
Speaker 1: the morale. the illusion. Enjoy the illusion. It is the
19:54

21:18
Speaker 1: You can expect a little bit of this. Will Stein,
21:21
Speaker 1: the head coach at Kentucky, joins us. Open bar at
21:23
Speaker 1: a wedding, ordering a Shirley Temple. Will or will not?
21:26

21:36
Speaker 7: Reese Davis, host of College Game Day, is with us now.
21:38
Speaker 3: And then I'm going home to the BBC, and they're
21:42
Speaker 3: saying Jockovich instead of Jokovich.
21:44
Speaker 1: Right, because you can't say Jockovich.
21:46
Speaker 4: If you do, you know the blowback you're going to
21:47

22:24
Speaker 1: always popular Benny versus the Penny will take over. And
22:30
Speaker 1: that'll be in hour number two of the monologue. I'll
22:33
Speaker 1: play the right opening, too. No, no, I think we
22:36
Speaker 1: should play the wrong open. I think it's better that
22:37
Speaker 1: way to play the wrong one and make people guess
22:41
Speaker 1: what's coming up. And then later on, we'll have Sports
22:44
Speaker 1: Jeopardy and the Coop Scoop on entertainment and all that.

23:04
Speaker 1: So you can check that out as the Steelers are

Speaker 1: doing the Mambo 500. But on the X-Machine at Ben Maller.
23:10
Speaker 1: I want to be like Lady Gaga. It's at Ben Maller,
23:13
Speaker 1: and boy, that's a lot of fun. A lot, a
23:16
Speaker 1: lot of fun.
23:17
Speaker 6: Here for sure, for sure.
23:20
Speaker 1: So be part of the show. Just posted the rundown
23:25
Speaker 1: here a little late as we are talking about that
23:28
Speaker 1: Thursday night NFL game. The Cleveland Browns get the win,
23:33
Speaker 1: and so they're off to the 3-1 start. The Browns
23:36
Speaker 1: always play nothing but tomato cans, which is okay because
23:39
Speaker 1: they're a tomato can. So it's tomato can on tomato can,
23:43
Speaker 1: a bunch of ham and eggers going at it. And
23:46
Speaker 1: the Browns, 3-1, sitting pretty right now. And they've got
23:50
Speaker 1: another cream puff up ahead, the Jets. Of course, the
23:52
Speaker 1: Jets look at the Browns and say, well, that looks
23:54
Speaker 1: like a delicious donut. Is that a jelly-filled donut? I
23:57
Speaker 1: believe it is a jelly-filled donut. Why not? So the
24:00
Speaker 1: Jets and Browns will be next in Week 5. And
24:03
Speaker 1: the Browns have to play the Ravens, which we think
24:05
Speaker 1: are a good team. And then after that, they get
24:08
Speaker 1: another tomato can, the Titans. So it's not pretty good
24:12
Speaker 1: for the Browns schedule-wise, but at some point they'll realize
24:14
Speaker 1: they're the Browns and it'll all fall apart. It will
24:19
Speaker 1: all fall apart. And how wonderful that will be. How
24:22
Speaker 1: great that will be. I did want to mention this.
24:25
Speaker 1: I know it's not on topic and I shouldn't mention it,
24:27
Speaker 1: but what the hell. The Portland Trailblazers, that is a
24:31
Speaker 1: basketball team, and they made a move here within the
24:34
Speaker 1: last couple hours to The Trailblazers have fired their brand
24:38
Speaker 1: new play-by-play announcer, this guy named Braden Bell. I don't
24:44
Speaker 1: know who the hell this guy is. Now, my buddy,
24:46
Speaker 1: the late, great Brian Wheeler. was the play-by-play guy for
24:49
Speaker 1: the Trailblazers for years, and he passed away not that
24:54
Speaker 1: long ago. Rest in peace, wheels. Boom, shakalaka. So this
24:58
Speaker 1: guy Braden Bell got the job, and he has been
25:02
Speaker 1: fired just hours after he was named the new TV
25:06
Speaker 1: play-by-play guy. Now, what do you think he did? What
25:09
Speaker 1: do you think this guy did to lose his job?
25:12
Speaker 1: This is a dream job. NBA, I know the Blazers
25:14
Speaker 1: are not a great team, team and all that. Supposedly
25:17
Speaker 1: they're better. So this guy got fired. The Blazers hired
25:22
Speaker 1: him and then fired him hours after he was named
25:26
Speaker 1: the new TV play-by-play guy because, did he get arrested?
25:29
Speaker 8: No.
25:30
Speaker 1: He did not get arrested. Did he commit some kind
25:36
Speaker 1: of other faux pas? Well, kind of. So he got
25:41
Speaker 1: fired for racist social media posts When he was 15
25:47
Speaker 1: years old. I love it. It's hilarious. So that is outstanding.
26:05
Speaker 1: Just freaking great. Just wonderful by the Trailblazers. So the Blazers,
26:09
Speaker 1: they sent out this very, you know, listen, it's Portland.
26:13
Speaker 1: You know, that's Wokey McWoke in Portland. And so they
26:15
Speaker 1: sent out this statement. We do not have zero tolerance
26:20
Speaker 1: for all of them. And they named every possible thing.
26:22
Speaker 1: And they went through this whole, it was like a
26:24
Speaker 1: form letter thing that they posted online. And we believe
26:29
Speaker 1: strongly that everyone who is part of Rip City should
26:32
Speaker 1: feel welcome. Hey, dummies, shouldn't you have looked? When you
26:37
Speaker 1: hire somebody, isn't it your job to do your due diligence?
26:40
Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't know how old this
26:42
Speaker 1: guy is, but he was 15, apparently, from what I
26:44
Speaker 1: read at the time he sent these things out. So
26:49
Speaker 1: he was in, what, high school? Isn't everyone an a-hole
26:53
Speaker 1: and a schmuck in high school? Isn't that usually the
26:55
Speaker 1: way that it goes?
26:57
Speaker 3: Okay.
26:57
Speaker 6: Okay.
26:58
Speaker 1: There you go. Femi writes in from the Twin Cities,
27:01
Speaker 1: our top Uber East driver. He says, Ben, I think
27:03
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers knows he's on borrowed time and is just
27:06
Speaker 1: deflecting before his star crashes. And he's finally benched.
27:11
Speaker 3: Yes.
27:11
Speaker 1: If he's benched, he's going off to the woods to
27:14
Speaker 1: have a big pitcher of ayahuasca. That's what he's doing.
27:18
Speaker 1: The Baltimore Freeloader account writes in, says a touching monologue
27:23
Speaker 1: on the AFC North bottom feeders. These teams are lunch meat.
27:28
Speaker 1: For the Ravens, it's hard to take either franchise seriously.
27:32
Speaker 1: One has an aged quarterback and the other are the Browns.
27:36
Speaker 1: Factory of Sadness versus the Yinzers. That was their Super Bowl.
27:41
Speaker 1: There you go. Jerry in a Jar writes in. He's
27:44
Speaker 1: literally in a jar. He says, I found it hilarious.
27:47
Speaker 1: And the Aaron Rodgers meltdown. That is one arrogant SOB.
27:52
Speaker 1: Mark the Walker wandering around Rochester. It says, A, on
27:57
Speaker 1: the Mallard monologue, man, the only criticism is not believing
28:00
Speaker 1: that the Brown Steelers is a rivalry. It absolutely is,
28:04
Speaker 1: and I know of what I speak. The Bills were
28:06
Speaker 1: a huge rival of the Patriots from 01 to 19
28:10
Speaker 1: when New England barely eked out a 32-3 record against us,
28:15
Speaker 1: like the classic hammer. Yeah, versus, yeah.
28:18
Speaker 3: Listen.
28:19
Speaker 6: Listen.
28:20
Speaker 1: I know. I was watching some of the pregame stuff,
28:22
Speaker 1: and they were like, oh, you've got to watch this.
28:24
Speaker 1: Look at this great running. Somebody at Amazon sent a
28:28
Speaker 1: camera crew to this town in Ohio, which is halfway
28:31
Speaker 1: between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, and supposedly the point of demarcation.
28:35
Speaker 1: You know how there's that spot in Connecticut where it's
28:37
Speaker 1: like halfway between New York and Boston, and it's like
28:40
Speaker 1: half the town's Yankees fans, and they're like half the
28:43
Speaker 1: town Red Sox fans, and so they did that whole thing. Yeah, absolutely.
28:49
Speaker 1: Anthony in Anaheim says, I love Maller with his analogies.
28:52
Speaker 1: Thank you, Anthony. I appreciate that. Rob writes in, he says,
28:55
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, like his counterpart Maller and the militia. Divas
29:00
Speaker 1: and ultimate me guys. Yes, absolutely correct on that, Rob, 100%.
29:07
Speaker 1: And Curmudgeon Wayne writes in, says, IDGAF sums up your inconsistency.
29:14
Speaker 1: With the nightly rundown, seriously, how hard is it, Mallard? Well, again, Wayne,
29:20
Speaker 1: we've tried to tell you, I know you're cheap, and
29:22
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've got your EBT card or not.
29:24
Speaker 1: I don't know if we accept EBT cards, but we
29:26
Speaker 1: have Mallard Plus. And if you want to get the rundown,
29:29
Speaker 1: that thing was sent out, I think, Fergdog. We sent
29:32
Speaker 1: that out to Fergdog and Alf and Malapropguy right around
29:36
Speaker 1: 1 o'clock. We already knew the script. The NFL sent
29:40
Speaker 1: us the script, Wayne, on who was going to win
29:41
Speaker 1: the game. They gave us the bullet points on how
29:44
Speaker 1: the game was going to end. It's all scripted. People
29:46
Speaker 1: think this is organic. It's not. We got the message
29:50
Speaker 1: from baseball that the Braves were going to win their game.
29:55
Speaker 1: That actually came down a little late. That was after
29:57
Speaker 1: our original table read, so we had to touch that up.
30:00
Speaker 1: on Malheur Plus and then send that out. So there
30:03
Speaker 1: was a lot of moving parts to that. We were
30:04
Speaker 1: able to get it all done. So that's really what
30:08
Speaker 1: happened in that. So, again, Wayne in Duluth, if you
30:12
Speaker 1: would like that rundown always sent out early, Malheur Plus,
30:17
Speaker 1: it's $ 39. 99 a month, and you get that rundown and
30:20
Speaker 1: a lot of other really good features, really, really good features,
30:24
Speaker 1: and it's all part of Malheur Plus.
30:26
Speaker 7: Yeah.
30:27
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phones. It is a
30:29
Speaker 1: call-in show, and let's say hello to Andrew, who's in Bakersfield. Hello, Andrew. Welcome.
30:39
Speaker 3: And I'd like to represent the state of Hawaii and say,
30:42
Speaker 3: how's it?
30:47
Speaker 1: That's not what they say.
30:49
Speaker 3: Have you seen the movie North Shore? It's pretty good.
30:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. So the Browns.
30:57
Speaker 3: Hello.
30:59
Speaker 1: I hung up on you 10 minutes ago.
31:01
Speaker 3: Okay, so the Browns. My thought is, you know, slow
31:05
Speaker 3: your roll. You know, you can have success, possibly, and
31:11
Speaker 3: it be empty, you know? And, yes, I'm biased. I
31:15
Speaker 3: want to see Shador out there. What do you think, Ben?
31:19
Speaker 1: He is out there. He's walking up and down the sidelines.
31:22
Speaker 1: He's wearing his uniform. He's out wandering around. He's out there.
31:26
Speaker 3: Well, my thought is, why can't Shador start and Deshaun
31:30
Speaker 3: learn from Shador for a few games?
31:33
Speaker 1: How about that?
31:35
Speaker 3: And then if there's a chance later, possibly, he'll get
31:40
Speaker 3: in there. Thanks, Ben.
31:43
Speaker 1: Let's go to Lucky Tony, who's next. Hello, Lucky Tony.
31:46
Speaker 3: Welcome.
31:47
Speaker 4: Hey, Ben.
31:48
Speaker 3: Did any Benny and the Penny advertisers email you yet?
31:52
Speaker 1: Let me check my email here. Let me see. Did anyone,
31:55
Speaker 1: any sugar daddy email me to put Benny versus the
31:58
Speaker 1: Penny back in big money territory? Hold on. I'm going
32:01
Speaker 1: to click this email thing. Hold on a sec. Lucky Tony.
32:04
Speaker 1: It says your email is loading. The red line is
32:08
Speaker 1: crossing the computer. Let me look here.
32:10
Speaker 3: No.
32:12
Speaker 1: All right.
32:15
Speaker 3: What do you call Diana Rossini hang gliding?
32:20
Speaker 1: I don't know.
32:22
Speaker 6: Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Thanks, man.
32:29
Speaker 1: Anthony is in Anaheim. He's a retired caller. He gave
32:32
Speaker 1: up the celebrity life of calling talk radio. Hello, Anthony
32:36
Speaker 1: in Anaheim.
32:37
Speaker 4: Man, you know it's a Friday or a full moon
32:40
Speaker 4: or a full bar somewhere, right? What's going on?
32:42
Speaker 8: I don't know what.
32:44
Speaker 1: You're talking about. These are perfectly normal calls.
32:47
Speaker 4: Ben, why does Aaron Rodgers have a weird, like, hick accent?
32:50
Speaker 4: It reminds me of how you say milk. You know,
32:52
Speaker 4: you're from Irvine, but you say, like, milk.
32:59
Speaker 1: Why do you care?
32:59
Speaker 4: Because it's a fake thing that you guys do. You
33:04
Speaker 4: guys both put on.
33:04
Speaker 1: A fake accent. It's not a fake thing.
33:07
Speaker 3: At all.
33:09
Speaker 1: This is in your head. This is a you problem, Anthony.
33:11
Speaker 1: We're from the same area.
33:13
Speaker 4: You're the only person.
33:14
Speaker 1: No, we're not. We're not from the same area. You
33:16
Speaker 1: don't know my background.
33:17
Speaker 4: We're both from Orange County.
33:19
Speaker 1: I'm from the mean streets, dude. You're a softie. You're
33:25
Speaker 1: a softie over there. You don't understand. The only softie
33:29
Speaker 1: thing you like is the soft serve that you see.
33:32
Speaker 1: The soft serve. I did like soft serve.
33:33
Speaker 4: Oh, Ben, you know what I was thinking?
33:34
Speaker 1: You were thinking?
33:38
Speaker 4: Is it like does it piss you off you know
33:40
Speaker 4: now that everybody got real skinny from Ozempic but you
33:43
Speaker 4: did it the right way you know I was thinking
33:45
Speaker 4: like damn Ben must see all these fat people that
33:48
Speaker 4: got all skinny and be like Those guys are losers
33:50
Speaker 4: and cheaters. You know, I did it the right way.
33:52
Speaker 4: I drank water, you know.
33:54
Speaker 1: No, it's fine because when I lost, and I lost
33:58
Speaker 1: a lot of weight, when I lost my weight, there
34:00
Speaker 1: was no Ozempic. So nobody can accuse me of using Ozempic.
34:04
Speaker 1: I don't care if you use whatever you do to
34:05
Speaker 1: lose weight.
34:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, but nobody knows that. They just look at you
34:08
Speaker 4: now and they go, oh, yeah, Ben was a big
34:10
Speaker 4: old fat guy. He was on Ozempic, you know.
34:12
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people now don't, you know, they
34:14
Speaker 1: don't know that version of me, Anthony. That was a
34:16
Speaker 1: long time ago.
34:17
Speaker 4: It's not like the Internet didn't exist, you know, to
34:20
Speaker 4: see your big old fat ass.
34:21
Speaker 1: It did not. The Internet did not exist. You're correct.
34:24
Speaker 1: There was no Internet before. People used typewriters back then.
34:28
Speaker 1: Absolute typewriters.
34:29
Speaker 4: I don't have a sweaty picture of you in Bakersfield somewhere, right?
34:32
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. I only have
34:36
Speaker 1: fine pictures except for like one or two Eddie Garcia took.
34:38
Speaker 1: Other than that, everything's great. I'm very photogenic unless I'm not.
34:42
Speaker 4: So then a real question is there no you don't you.
34:45
Speaker 1: Don't have a sport you don't have a sports question
34:48
Speaker 1: stop you don't you don't have any.
34:50
Speaker 4: Of that than two games this year because i know
34:52
Speaker 4: they're going to beat the patriots at home at foxborough
34:57
Speaker 4: and then that'll be their only win but i don't
35:00
Speaker 4: know if they're going to win any more games.
35:01
Speaker 1: All right so for those that don't know anthony is
35:04
Speaker 1: a dolphin fan because he's.
35:06
Speaker 4: Not for long I think I don't know man I
35:09
Speaker 4: don't know.
35:09
Speaker 1: I'm just Anthony was a fan when he was a
35:11
Speaker 1: teenager the 72 dolphins went undefeated and he's been a
35:15
Speaker 1: fan ever.
35:15
Speaker 4: Since I watched Ace Ventura movie when I was a
35:17
Speaker 4: kid you know kids don't watch movies you know.
35:20
Speaker 1: You should not watch well kids don't watch movies anymore
35:22
Speaker 1: so they don't make movies anymore they stop making all
35:25
Speaker 1: they do is make Spider-Man movies that's it they got
35:27
Speaker 1: rid of every other kind of movie they're all gone

Speaker 4: With different Spider-Mans all the time? That's so weird. I
35:35
Speaker 4: don't get that either.
35:37
Speaker 1: It's a multiverse. There's a bunch of different Spider-Mans. What
35:40
Speaker 1: would happen if they actually made, like, old-school comedies again?
35:43
Speaker 1: They can't make them because they can't sell them in
35:45
Speaker 1: certain communist countries.
35:46
Speaker 4: I was watching Naked Gun not that long ago, and
35:48
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, man, I forgot how crazy this was,
35:51
Speaker 4: you know?
35:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was crazy. The gold standard, though, Blazing Saddles,
35:57
Speaker 1: which is the all-time.
35:58
Speaker 4: You couldn't make a movie like that. I don't even
36:01
Speaker 4: think you could make a movie like that out of
36:02
Speaker 4: the country.
36:03
Speaker 1: You'd be arrested, for sure. All right, this is your
36:06
Speaker 1: one call. Are you going back to prison now, Anthony?
36:08
Speaker 1: Are you going back to family prison for the next
36:10
Speaker 1: six months?
36:10
Speaker 4: You know, I'm staying past my bid now, you know.
36:13
Speaker 4: I've got to get up at like 6 in the morning.
36:15
Speaker 8: I've got so many kids.
36:17
Speaker 1: Oh, the hardship. Oh, the struggle is real, Anthony. The
36:19
Speaker 1: struggle is real.
36:20
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm keeping on keeping on, right?
36:22
Speaker 6: All right.
36:23
Speaker 1: I've got to go. I'm holding up on you. That's right.
36:26
Speaker 1: Go away. There you go. There's Anthony. Mike in Tucson, quickly.
36:32
Speaker 1: Barbecue Mike in Tucson. By the way, Jared Verse of
36:35
Speaker 1: the Browns says this year's Browns team is different. And
36:39
Speaker 1: by the way, Mike, in Tucson, you know every team
36:42
Speaker 1: every year is different because no team brings back the
36:44
Speaker 1: same roster. So technically he's not wrong. Every year, at
36:48
Speaker 1: least a few players change over on the roster. So
36:50
Speaker 1: he's not technically wrong.
36:53
Speaker 8: He's not wrong. He's a brown son. But, man, I
36:55
Speaker 8: can't be quick. I called you because I was so
36:57
Speaker 8: sad and in my feelings today, man. Somebody called the
37:00
Speaker 8: health department on me. I got a cease and desist letter.
37:04
Speaker 8: You can't sell barbecue outside of your house because I
37:08
Speaker 8: don't have a permit. Man, I had a bad day, man.
37:12
Speaker 1: I thought you worked at a barbecue restaurant.
37:16
Speaker 8: Then I did work at a barbecue restaurant, but the
37:18
Speaker 8: food was so bad. I was a pit master. We
37:21
Speaker 8: reheated stuff every day. And I said, no, I can't
37:25
Speaker 8: do this. So I started selling food outside my house.
37:28
Speaker 8: But then I got so big, like content creators came over.
37:31
Speaker 8: If you go to my Instagram, I sent you a
37:34
Speaker 8: few videos. I do weekly drops. And I got so
37:37
Speaker 8: big where the health department said, we will take your smokers,
37:41
Speaker 8: cease and desist. You can never sell food. Ben, that's
37:45
Speaker 8: why I called you. I'm having a bad day because
37:47
Speaker 8: I invested $ 600 in tomorrow's. I do every Friday. So
37:51
Speaker 8: tomorrow I have three.
37:53
Speaker 1: All right, well, here's what you do. You can't sell
37:57
Speaker 1: it there. Go somewhere you can sell it. In Phoenix,
37:59
Speaker 1: they don't care about it.
38:01
Speaker 8: That's what my friend said. Hey, leave that at your
38:05
Speaker 8: school somewhere else.
38:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're making that kind of money, then just
38:09
Speaker 1: go to another spot and then sell the barbecue there.
38:12
Speaker 1: If you've got a following, people will buy it there.
38:15
Speaker 1: There you go. Problem solved.
38:16
Speaker 6: Look at that.
38:16
Speaker 1: We solved your problem. And by the way, don't violate that.
38:22
Speaker 1: You should be clean when you're selling the barbecue. I
38:25
Speaker 1: don't want to get messy barbecue. I do want messy barbecue,
38:28
Speaker 1: but I want dirty, you know. All right, I got
38:32
Speaker 1: to go, but I got to go. Good luck with
38:34
Speaker 1: the barbecue. Make a lot of money. You got to
38:37
Speaker 1: name a food dish after me or something like that.
38:38
Speaker 1: All right, it's the Ben Maller Show. Time now for
38:41
Speaker 1: the Who Am I game. This is where we pretend
38:43
Speaker 1: to be somebody else as we call it the Who
38:44
Speaker 1: Am I game. Bo Nix has 11 fourth quarter comebacks,
38:48
Speaker 1: so the last one was bogus, including the playoffs in
38:51
Speaker 1: his career. The third most by any quarterback in his
38:54
Speaker 1: first three seasons since 1950. Only John Elway and me
38:59
Speaker 1: had more. Again, Bo Nix, 11 fourth quarter comebacks, including
39:03
Speaker 1: the playoffs in his career.
39:04
Speaker 3: The third.
39:06
Speaker 1: by any quarterback in his first three seasons since 1950.
39:09
Speaker 1: Only John Elway and me had more. Who am I?
39:13
Speaker 1: The answer, we'll get to it, we'll do it next.
39:15
Speaker 6: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
39:17
Speaker 6: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific.
39:21

39:26
Speaker 1: And it is a Friday show, still late on a Thursday. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
39:49
Speaker 1: I'm a skeptic on that. We're doing these roundtable mailbags recently,
39:54
Speaker 1: so we'll see how that goes. But check out the
39:55
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour podcast. It's available wherever you get podcasts. It's
39:59
Speaker 1: a spinoff of this show, so we know there's not
40:01
Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff on the weekends. So check
40:02
Speaker 1: out the Fifth Hour podcast and get more of the Malheur.
40:10
Speaker 1: trash talk or whatever you call it. I don't know.
40:11
Speaker 1: You all have names for it. Well, let's get back
40:14
Speaker 1: to it. Time now for the Who Am I game.
40:15
Speaker 1: This is where we pretend to be somebody else. That's
40:16
Speaker 1: why we call it the Who Am I game. Denver's
40:18
Speaker 1: Bo Nix has 11 fourth quarter comebacks. That last one
40:21
Speaker 1: was bogus. Including the playoffs in his career. So that's
40:24
Speaker 1: the third most by any quarterback in his first three
40:28
Speaker 1: seasons since 1950. Only John Elway and me had more.
40:35
Speaker 1: And that is the question. What is the answer? Let's see.
40:38
Speaker 1: Does anyone in The Mallet Militia have the answer. Alf
40:43
Speaker 1: the Alien O'Piner going with Jimmy the Greek Snyder, legendary handicapper. Mr.
40:49
Speaker 1: Nice Guy going with light-hitting Angels 1980s infielder Dick Schofield.
40:54
Speaker 1: That's his answer. Who else do we have? Brittany Howard,
40:57
Speaker 1: who is 38 today from late-night drug tester. Page down,
41:01
Speaker 1: page down. Anthony in Anaheim says the late, great beer-drinking Brian.
41:06
Speaker 1: And Half Pint, an honorable mention. I did hear from
41:09
Speaker 1: Halfpint a little while ago. She said she was going
41:11
Speaker 1: to call the show, and then she never did call
41:14
Speaker 1: the show. But rest in peace, beer-drinking Brian. Of course,
41:17
Speaker 1: you know, Halfpint loved Brian so much, she got married
41:20
Speaker 1: like a week after he died at the courthouse, you know.
41:22
Speaker 1: It happens. DJ Spin Patrick going with Dan Fouts. Dan Marino,
41:28
Speaker 1: guest by Johnny Q. Ozempic is a fake way to
41:32
Speaker 1: lose weight from Scrooge. If it works, it works. What
41:35
Speaker 1: are you going to do? I don't have a problem
41:36
Speaker 1: with it. Do you have an answer, Lorraine? Elton John. No,
41:41
Speaker 1: the correct answer would be Derek Carr. Isn't that kind
41:46
Speaker 1: of a bogus stat if Derek Carr is second to
41:48
Speaker 1: John Elway? A little bit. A little bit, right? A
41:51
Speaker 1: little bit. A little bit. A little bit.
