• 0:29
  Speaker 1: do you buy Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer's claim that he

  Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones are, quote, aligned after Jerry ripped his coach?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: on his weekly Dallas radio show. We'll talk about that.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And Nick Saban is banging the drum for the NCAA
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: student salary cap for football players and basketball players. Why
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: should players accept financial guardrails when the coaches don't have to?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Does that make any sense? No, it doesn't. I'll explain why.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that and who knows what else. Right
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: about now, here we go. It's our number four. Have

• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge the baseball. We did full MALLER monologues on
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the baseball playoffs. The Red Sox were betrackled. Against the Yankees,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that was a no contest situation. Ben Rice was oh
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: so nice. And the Yankees get the easy win. And
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Cam Schlittler on the mound dominating for the Yankees as
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox now facing elimination tonight. And that game,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Sonny Gray versus Max Freed. That is the mashup. Yankees
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: are a minus 137 favorite currently. The early American League game,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the White Sox, who won yesterday, got a letter from
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the Pope. The White Sox will send Sean Burke to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the mound versus Hunter Brown of the Cheating A-Holes. Houston
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: is favored in that one. And the first game of
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the day is the Philadelphia Phillies, the Atlanta Braves. And
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the Phillies, with Christopher Sanchez on the mound, are favored
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: at minus 108. Philly losing late. Against the Bravos yesterday.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And the Cubs in the late game got mollywhopped by
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the Padres and the Gasmen. Kevin Gossman, I'll be on
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the mound there for the Cubs. And Nick Pavetta for
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the Padres in the late game. And the Padres are favored.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: as you might imagine in that game. But our lead
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: this hour. Don't bury the lead, my man! Oh, we're
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: not going to bury the lead. Let's start out with
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a little hot football. And we go to Jersey. Another
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: shake-up with Big Blue. Another shake-up with Big Blue. After
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: trading for J.J. McCarthy, we have now learned the New
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: York Giants have said bye-bye to wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: He gone!
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Remember all the hype, the headlines, and the tabloids in
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: New York City? The much-ballyhooed return of Odell Beckham. It
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: lasted not one, not two, but just three. Three games,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that's it. Beckham, 33 years old, he plays like he's 63.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: He returned to the Giants franchise this offseason, got his
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: old number back, the whole thing. Sat out last year
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to recover from injury, and somehow he made a roster spot.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: We're not sure how. And the comeback produced... Bumpkiss! Virtually nothing, statistically,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Odell Beckham did. And now the reunion is O-V-E-R.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Over!
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: It's all over there. Not even a month into the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: NFL season and... Turn at the lights! The party's over
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: for Beckham. So that is a good jumping off point.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question... We're Giant fans suckers for
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: buying in to the Odell Beckham Jr. reunion tour. So
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I've got Brand Ambassador, Flavortown, and Darwinism. And we will
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together, and we will put
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the biscuit in the basket while we enjoy the jambalaya,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a little baba ghanoush, some matzo ball soup, and the gabagool.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: All of those things we will enjoy. And even some
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: key lime pie, which we used to get until Lorena
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: cut us off. We don't get the key lime pie anymore.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: We don't. All right, so first of all, to answer
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the question, we're giant fan suckers for buying into the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. reunion tour. Nodding my head... Yes, I'm
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: nodding my head yes. Absolutely. Nostalgia. And I've learned this
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: over the years doing this job. Nostalgia remains undefeated at
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: separating sports fans from reality. You only look at the good.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You don't look at the dark side. And I, as
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a talk show host, only look at the dark side.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: That's talk radio. That's good talk radio. You only look
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: at the dark side. And my God. My God. John
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh and the coaching staff, they were also bamboozled, it
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: would appear, that how did Beckham make the team? The
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Giants got rid of another functional wide receiver to keep
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Odell Beckham on the team. So how did that happen?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And what evidence? Riddle me this. batman what evidence existed
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: that a 33 year old receiver who missed all of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the previous season could suddenly turn back the clock no
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: none ever since beckham got hurt in that super bowl
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: with the rams he has been scrap metal odell beckham
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not being mean. I'm just telling you like it is.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: And the Giants promoted this thing like it was going
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to be a remake of Football Natural with OBJ. And
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: it turned out to be a remake of Weekend at Beckham's,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a spinoff of Weekend at Bernie's, except they wore shoulder
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: pads and a jockstrap for Weekend at Beckham's. And that's it.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: The Disney reunion did not have the happy Disney ending.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: 20 snaps. That's all OBJ played. 20 snaps. That's it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: He was targeted one more time than you were targeted
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: playing wide receiver for the New York Giants. He had
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: as many catches as you and I had. Through three games,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: we had the same number of catches. Zero. Squadouche. That's it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: And Beckham did not even distinguish himself, apparently, in practice.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Not a game. Not a game. We in here talking
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: about practice. And he played nothing more than a decoy.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Odell Beckham was nothing more than a decoy with the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Giants so far, and he is now qualified. The good
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: news is that OBJ is now qualified to be the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: brand ambassador for the Happy Egg Company. As he was
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: very happy putting up zero receptions, zero yards, and zero touchdowns. So,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: very happy with that. His last stop, you would think,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: was this. Is anyone else dumb enough to give Odell
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Beckham a chance? Now, there is a conspiracy theory that
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: once Beckham realized that Jackson Dart was out and the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Giants were going to play with Jameis Winston... and then
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: traded for J.J. McCarthy, he wanted out. Because he wanted
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to win. The whole Odell Beckham story was, hey, I'm
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: going to go to New York, and I'm going to succeed,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and we're going to win. It doesn't quite work when
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you're playing Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy and losing. Now,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I don't buy that, and here's why. The theory that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Beckham wanted out, I don't buy it. And the reason
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I don't buy it is because the resume he put up,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: who's going to take him? Like this idea that he's
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: going to waltz into Buffalo or something like that and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: play for the Bills or go play for Kansas City.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I just find that hard to fathom that somebody would
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: be dumb enough. But I didn't think the Giants would
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: be dumb enough to give him the opportunity. And I said, well,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it's nostalgia. That's why they gave him the chance. Now
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to Dallas we go. And you know, Cowboys are bad
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: at football, but good at content. They're the original content
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: creators in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys. The greatest content
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: creator is Jerry Jones, and he's always been the greatest.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: So to Dallas we go, or the greater Dallas Metroplex there,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: where Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer... It's getting hot in here.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: It's getting hot in here for Schottenheimer. He says he
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones are, quote, aligned. That's his word, not
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: my word. He says we're aligned. This after meeting about
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that controversial coaching decision late in the game in Rio
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: de Janeiro. And Schottenheimer acknowledged the criticism, promised, quote, I'll
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: be better. He said, I'll be better. Now, the biggest blunder,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: according to many, was in that tie game, seven seconds left,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: and the Cowboys decided to kick out of the end
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: zone a touchback, and they did not attempt to burn
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the clock. I would argue also the play calling down
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: near the goal line. Cowboys had the ball at the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: one-yard line of the Ravens, and that was not good.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: That was not good at all.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: So.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Shot-Armor had a want-to-get-away situation. He also admitted to over-coaching
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott in the aforementioned goal-line situation the previous possession. Now,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones had publicly ripped publicly ripped The coach, the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: game-ending clock management, he did that on his weekly radio show.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Here's Jerry, who does not one but two radio shows
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a week, commenting on the decision-making at the end of
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: that game. Here's Jerry Jones.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Well, there is no explanation you're satisfied with.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: None.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Let's be sure that we all understand that. We made
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: mistakes during that time, so there is no explanation. There's
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: an evaluation of how not to make the same mistakes again,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: which is what you should be doing.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: So there's Jerry Jones. Now, Schottenheimer dismissed any kind of
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: talk of friction with the Cowboys, says that Jones simply
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: expects explanations and accountability when mistakes happen. So the question...
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Do you buy the Cowboys coach, Brian Schottenheimer, Schottie? Do
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: you buy Schottie's claim that he and Jerry Jones are, quote, aligned?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: So Brian Schottenheimer insisting that he's aligned with the owner,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, which I find comedy gold. I do. Of
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: course they're aligned. Jerry Jones owns the compass. He sets
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the course of the franchise and controls the weather. That's
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Jerry's world. That's how that works. And Schottenheimer's job security
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: relies on two simple truths. One of them is you
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: have to at least give the illusion of faux contention
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. The Cowboys don't have to win. They
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: just have to be in playoff contention. They have to
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: be in the race. That's the first. The second thing is.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Never forget whose television show it is. You have to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: remember whose television show it is. The Cowboys don't need
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: HBO's hard knocks, even though they've been on it. They
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: don't need that. Jerry produces that type of programming for
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: free pretty much every week during the NFL season. You
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: know it. I know it. Every man, woman, and child
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: knows it. He absolutely thrives in manufacturing. He doesn't have
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to outsource it. When it comes to controversy, Jerry Jones
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: is the king. Jerry has said multiple times, when it
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: gets slow around the Cowboys, he stirs it up. When
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: business gets slow, Jerry Jones likes to stir the pot.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: He's like Guy Fieri carrying emergency lighter fluid into Flavortown.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: He's like, hey, I'm Jerry Jones.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I'm here.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: We've opened up Flavortown in Jerry's world, and we're not
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: getting enough attention. So I've got some of this lighter
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: fluid and burn, baby, burn. I'll become a pyromaniac. Who
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: says no? So Dallas is, again, the real housewives of football,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, if nobody flips a table. If nobody
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: is there to flip a table and have the spaghetti
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: flying in the air everywhere with the meatballs, then Jerry
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: goes over there in the middle of the night. He's
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: got a screwdriver, and he unscrews the things on the table,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the bolts on the table. He unscrews them himself. Now,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones claims that he wants healthy media attention with
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: his head coach. But what does Jerry really, really deep
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: down want? he wants a head coach who shouts, great idea, Jerry.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: That was a really good idea. Before Jerry's even finished
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the sentence about the idea. That's what he wants. All right.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Final thought to college football. We go a little collegiate football.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: So Nick Saban is on the campaign trail. He's doing
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a whistle stop tour. He's a political operative of a
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: group trying to put a salary cap on college football players.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: They're calling it something else, but let's be real. That's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: what it is. So Nick Saban continuing to complain on
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: television that college athletic departments are struggling. The struggle is real. Financially,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: losing tens of millions of dollars and being forced to
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: cut women's sports and Olympic sports and non-revenue sports, which
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: nobody cares about. Saban blames NIL, the boogeyman. The NIL boogeyman.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: He says that spending, the transfer portal, and a lack
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of enforceable national rules. And Nick Saban from the bully
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: pulpit warning college football could shrink dramatically. could shrink down
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to 40 or 50 financially viable programs. O-M-G. Now, Saban
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: is lobbying for something called the Protect College Sports Act,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: which has a lot of different theories. There's a lot
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: of theories on what that means, the Protect College Sports Act.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Just add a cap. Cut out all the other bull crap.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: It would cap how much players can make. It would
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: also limit The transfer portal eligibility would also provide limited
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: antitrust protection. for college football and basketball and whatnot, and
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: it does not address the coaches' salaries. For some reason,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: that did not make the legislation. I wonder why. I
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: wonder why the coaches that are advocating for the salary
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: cap on the players did not include the salary cap
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: for themselves. Things that make you go, hmm. All right,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: so here's the question on this, quickly. So Nick Saban
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: is banging the drum for government oversight to help out
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the NCAA and give the screw job to the students
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: who are playing football. I say students. They're not really students.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: They're just football players that happen to be at a
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: university helping to go to the next level of semi-pro
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: football to pro football. Anyway, so Saban is banging the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: drum saying, hey, we need this salary cap on players, right?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Why should players accept financial guardrails when coaches don't have to?
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: So the answer is rather obvious. They shouldn't. They don't
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: have a lot of power. However, there's enough lawyers. Every year,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: there's like 60,000 people pass the bar in America. Now,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: many of you people never pass a bar. But I'm talking,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: of course, about the way you become a documented legal beagle.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: You have to pass the bar. And so there are
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: enough lawyers out there where there will be lawsuits and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: litigation saying this is not allowed, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Capitalism,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: of course, is a wonderful thing until the wrong people
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: start making money. And then you have to complain and
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: change the rules. So Nick Saban. telling you and I,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: telling us that the players, they need a salary cap.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: That college football and basketball are dying. It's mostly college football,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: let's be honest here. That these smaller schools can't compete,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: so they have to have a salary cap. But the coaches, listen,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: if you have to pay Jimbo Fisher $ 14 million a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: year for three or four years, well, that's just life.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: That's just life in the big city. Makes perfect sense.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: until you realize the whole thing is Fugazi or Fugazi
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: or however you want to say it. That's it. So
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Saban's out there doing his thing. And remember, it's not
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: about saving college football. That's not what this is about
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: at all. It's not about saving college football. It's about
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: protecting the power brokers who already control college football. They're
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: worried about losing their control. And these athletic departments, which
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Saban's out there protecting, bitching about these athletic departments they
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: have spent like drunken sailors for what 30 years and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: now suddenly they want to call into Dave Ramsey's radio
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: show and say hey Dave uh you know I've got
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: this amount of expenses and I make this much revenue
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: what can I do uh except instead of just calling
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Dave Ramsey they're like hey wait a minute let's go
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: to politicians let's go to Capitol Hill Why not? So
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: if you're broke at one of these universities... then why
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: don't you just sell one of those waterfall aquariums you
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: have in the locker room to get recruits? Just sell
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: one of those. You'll make some money. Why not? But yeah,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: we got to get Congress involved to put up guardrails.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: That's what we need. You built the monster. You fed
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the monster. You supersized the monster. And now you're asking
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: some D.C. bureaucrats to babysit the monster. No, no, no, no, no.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. And this is a
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to me, this is a bipartisan issue. I don't care
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: what side of the aisle you're on. In your life,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: when did politicians make your life better? Because I'm still waiting.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I am still waiting. I'm waiting for my life to
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: have been improved by some blowhard politician. It has not happened. Now,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: there have been some that have made my life worse.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: That has happened. I've not had one say, oh, you know,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: just not to me directly, but just in general, do
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: things that made my life better. But yet, go to
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the politicians. They're going to solve all of life's problems.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: And we don't feel sorry. I don't feel sorry for
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: those that are recklessly spending money that are running college
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: football programs.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: This is going to blow you away. You do not
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: have a constitutional right to play big-time college football. You don't.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: And if you can't balance the books and you can't
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: make it work, well, that's life. Don't play football. There
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: have been plenty of schools that used to play football
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: that don't play football anymore. And Nick Saban out there fear-mongering...
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: on television about schools dropping football, you know what I say? Good.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Let them drop football. I don't care. There'll be enough
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: games when I want to watch football on Saturday that
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I'll be able to watch my college football. I'm fine
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: with it. Call it thinning of the herd. Call it Darwinism.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Only the fit survive. I'm fine. And if you just
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: keep it real, I did the Mallor math on this.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: There's really only about 70 schools that matter. And even
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: of those 70, it's probably closer to 50. It's probably
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: closer to 50. And that's it. You think Big Ten,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the Southeastern Conference, I'll throw in the ACC, I'll throw
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: in the Big 12. That's 67 schools combined. in those conferences.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: So if they got rid of every other school out
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: of those 67, would your life change in any way? Now,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: maybe you went to one of the other small schools
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: and you'd be bummed out about that, but realistically, would
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: it really change anything?
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: No.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Every other school outside of the Big Ten, the SEC,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the ACC, and the Big 12, they are packing peanuts.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: That is all they are, packing peanuts. It is the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Ben Maler show. As we press on. By the way, Coop,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I think Doc Mike's online. He's complaining this call has
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: not been screened. He's sending me text messages here complaining.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: So please take care of that. I don't want him to.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: He's harassing me on the text. 877-99 on Fox is

• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: Did you hear the noises?
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: What noises?
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: It sounded like someone was like scraping on the walls
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: and stuff. I went outside. They're completely power washing the outside.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They do that.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: Your car might be power washed.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, like the garage part?
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: They just clean the... No. What do they do?
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: They're doing some deep work.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was all like taped off. I had to
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: park on the second floor.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, right?
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Well, did they come tell us to move our cars?
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: No.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: No, they did not.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Well, that seems like something they should probably do. You
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: would think so.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: I feel like you should go out there and cause
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: a havoc.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: You want me to leave right now? I'll go outside.
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: I'll put on some music and I want to hear
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: the story when you come back in.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think that seems like a good idea. Well, listen,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the way I look at it, if they mess my
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: car up, I do a Mallarmobile.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: That's what I'm thinking. A paint job?
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: F with my car. They have to tell us. I
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: didn't get an email. Did you get an email? I
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: didn't get an email. Did you get an email?
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: No, I did not.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Well, it's just water. It's probably not that big a deal, right? Yeah.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Why did they never clean the garage?
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: I was going to say, honestly, it probably could really
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: use that.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I've been here 25 years. They've never cleaned the garage.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I swear, they've never cleaned the garage.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: First time in 25 years.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: No.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Wild.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: They have cameras in the garage, and I think they
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: just started working. But there were people that worked here
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: that had stuff stolen out of their car, and they
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: went to look at the cameras, and they said they
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: don't work. Amy Van Dyken. but that's one of them
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: yeah Amy worked here Olympic champion Amy Van Dyken while
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: she was doing the show somebody broke into her car
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and then his other cameras don't work but I think
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: they work now and they added some other cameras but
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you know it's like when you need them oh we
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: don't we don't have access to that so I was
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: like alright why were you outside I.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: Heard the noises I had to go investigate. I heard
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: him when I was in the bathroom last break, but
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: I didn't have time to go.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: So is my car the only one there?
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Yes. Wait, really?
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Wait, no, no.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Why would my car be the only one there? It
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: makes no sense. Wait a minute. That's an impossibility that
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: my car would be the only one in the area.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: I'll go take a picture and come right back.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead. I don't care, but it makes no sense.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I know I get here before you guys, but I don't...
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was here early.
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: When I got here, your car, you know, there was
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: maybe like your car and five others that were parked
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: in the section that they had.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: So I don't know, I guess.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Well, this is quite troubling to me. I have to
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: get home and that's the car that I use to
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: travel home. If I don't have that car, it becomes problematic.
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: Well, hopefully they're done in the next 25 minutes.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: But it'd be nice if they would come over and say, hey, listen,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: you move your car. I said, okay, I'll move my car. Yeah,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: how did the other people know to move their car? Well,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: they might have just worked earlier shifts and then left. Oh,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: that's a good point. Is George Norrie's car over there? Oh,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Lorena's not here, but George, he might be working from
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: home right now. I don't know. I haven't seen his
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: car recently. Let's go to the phones. Two percent. What's that?
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: I think I have to.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: You have to pot it up there? No, I think
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Lorena got it. She left it up? All right. Say
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: hello to two percent chance. Lorena has come back here.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: She is walking back. Lorena, she has an update on
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the car. Has the car been towed?
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: No, it has not, but I'm sending you the video
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: right now so you can see what's going on.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: This is our live coverage here. 2% chance they're messing
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: with my car, 2% chance.
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: Why would they do that? Do they not know who
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: you are?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, they probably know who I am. That's why they're
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: doing it. I haven't gotten the video yet, Lorraine.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: It's apparently a long video. Here it goes right now.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: All right. Let's see.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: There's one thing I wanted, a long video. Here we go.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Let's see what's going on. Where have you been, by
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the way, 2% chance? We haven't heard from you in
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: a while. What's up with that?
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: Oh, man, Work is crazy, man. Work is crazy. I
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: try to stay up for your show. I love your show, man. But, man,
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: it's hard, man. It's starting to cool down, though, so
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: I will be.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Hold on a second. Wait a minute. That's some serious
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: deep cleaning going on. Holy crap. And my car's the
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: only one there. What is up with that? This is
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: bull crap. Oh, man. This is not good. Oh, that's
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: a big power. Don't you do that 2% chance? You
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: do the power washing stuff, don't you?
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: I used to. Now I just strictly do windows, houses,
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: clean windows on houses.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: You're not afraid of heights or anything like that?
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: I'll do up to three stories, but I won't do skyscrapers.
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: I like New York City, Spider-Man, hanging off like that,
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: nut job stuff.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Spider-Man. Spider-Man. Spider-Man.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you're back, 2%. You have a hot
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: take here. You had a wonderful take.
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: I just wanted to say hi. I miss you guys.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: It's the first time I've been listening for a few weeks. Oh,
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: my God.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: A couple of weeks. Come on. You know how hard
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: it is to get people to listen to this stupid show?
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: We can't lose listeners.
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: Like I said, I'm back now. It is cooling down
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: out here in the sticks of Alabama. So I will
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: be with this fall is the best season, man. In
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: your opinion, in my opinion, fall is unless you live
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: in Alaska, you're a school teacher. then you'd probably want
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: summer as your best thing.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: No, it's a fun time of year. It's a good
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: time of year. There's everything going on.
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: Fall, it is elite. And, man, my Bills are doing great.
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: They look like the best team in the league. I'm
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: happy about that. The Tide finally got a.
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: I think we're in good shape. I'm not sure we're
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: going to win it all this year. I don't think
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: we are, but I think we do have a quarterback,
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: and I'm excited about that. And I'm excited to be
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: listening to your show.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: All right, well, you're back. 2% chance has returned. Thank you, buddy.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to you more. I'm sure you'll call all
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Unbelievable.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Isn't that right, Doc Mike? Doc Mike in Chicago. Are
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: you in Chicago, Doc? Where are you at, Doc Mike?
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Doc Mike.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what, two months from now I'll be in Tucson.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: You love Tucson. You used to go to Ecuador. Now
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: you go to Tucson.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, seven years ago, my high school sweetheart and
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: I got together after a summer of puppy love. Sixty
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: years later, we get together. 30 months. I'm so confused.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: 30 days later, 30 days ago, she died.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, my condolences. I am sorry. My condolences.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Some doctors operated on her November of 25. She had
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: three strokes during the surgery under anesthesia. They recovered her.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: She came home paralyzed.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Doc. My condolences on
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: your loss.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: When we met in 2019, the first thing she says is,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: I want to have your baby.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Wow! I don't know that that is mathematically possible at
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: that point, Doc. I think there's some birds and the
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: bees stuff that might not have made that possible, but
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: it's very nice of her to say that. It's very
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: kind of her to say that.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I gave her my best shot.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: You dirty dog. I'm sorry to hear that, Doc Mike.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: It's good to hear your voice again. It's been a while.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: You haven't called in a while, so it's good to
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: hear your voice.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: I've been real busy over here. I've got one patient
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: that was on 25 drugs. She's now drug-free and thriving.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I've been doing trauma. You're not even watching sports anymore, Doc.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: You used to call me up. We had hot sports talk.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: The club game tonight.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: There was nothing to see. The club game was over
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: at the first inning. They didn't show up.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Who's this guy Machado?
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's new. He just got to the major leagues, Machado.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Have you seen the ears on this guy?
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: His ears? What's wrong with his ears? I haven't noticed
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: his ears.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: He's got some kind of funny ears. Really?
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I've never noticed that. Machado's got funny ears? Is that true, Coop?
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Does Machado have funny ears? It's not something I've noticed.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I've not noticed another man's ears, but you.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Have, Doc. He looks like Batman, you know.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: He has Batman ears?
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Really? Yeah, he put the first pitch in the park,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: out of the park, and then his buddy comes up
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: and does the same thing, you know, back-to-back jack.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: All right. You want to take a call, Doc? You
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: can take a call here. I guess his ears are
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit... Talking about the parking lot. By the way, J.R. Smith,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I want to mention, so J.R. Smith had my favorite
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: NBA blooper of all time since I've been doing this job.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Do you remember when the Cavs and Warriors played in
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: the finals and he dribbled out the clock in a
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: tie game? It is my single favorite NBA blooper. In
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: a tie NBA finals game, I think it was game one,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: he dribbled out the clock in a tie game. No
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: one ever does that. Normally they try to shoot and
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: score and win the game. LeBron loved that. That was so, yeah,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: he got really happy. Anyway, J.R. arrested a domestic squabble.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: So there's a mugshot of J.R. Smith, the NBA champion there,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: who was arrested, I guess, just yesterday.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: I can tell you what it is, too, pal. It's
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: sleep deprivation. I'm doing podcasts now out of Tennessee with
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: this buddy of mine who's a computer geek. He's got
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: his own podcast.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: All right, let's take a call. Let's say hello to
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Marcel in Brooklyn. Hello, Marcel. Let's ask a doc.
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: Next, next, next.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: We haven't even heard from Marcel.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk to him.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Why do you not want to talk to Marcel? What
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: do you have against Marcel?
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, well.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: It isn't a doc mic from somewhere in the country, Ben.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Somewhere in the country, yes. Somewhere in the country, yes.
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: And the guy, the gal from Los Angeles. It's a
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: good morning to you guys. And I do agree with
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: the New.
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: York Giants there, Ben.

  Speaker 8: Odell Beckham gone. Gone.

  Speaker 1: You're on the Ben Maller Show.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Hello, James.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: James in Minnesota. Hey, Dom.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Mike, how you doing? I met you before. Marcel's an idiot.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, how you doing, old buddy?
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: I'm doing all right, John, Mike. I was going to
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: ask you a question. I got a medical question.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Have you got a medical question?
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: All right, let's try Mike the Leprechaun. Mike, hello, Mike.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: You're on with Doc Mike.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Doc.
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: How are you?
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I have a question about a heartbroken Red Sox fan.
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: What would you do?
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: And the other thing, I'm glad that you and Harlan
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: James dislike Marcel. You have good taste.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Anyway, my medical question, what should I do with my
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: broken heart? You would hear what? What should I do
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: with my broken heart after the Red Sox last night?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, pal. And in Chicago, there's six
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: million Chicagoans with broken hearts over here after our game
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just get over it. Rub some dirt on it.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: You'll be fine. Come on, please. I bet you Michael
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Epcot's happy. He was going to make a bet with Marcel,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: and they didn't end up. Marcel, you're happy you didn't
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: make that bet, right?
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: Well, the Yankees beating the Red Sox.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, next.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: All right. Marcel, who was your player of the night? Quickly, Marcel, please. Oh,

  Speaker 2: No, no.

  Speaker 1: Who's the other player of the night? From my Yankees?

  Speaker 1: So, Cole, from my pitch. What's his last name? Oh,
