  Speaker 1: Bippity-boppity-boo. It's our number four. Our four. Ben Maller's show.

  Speaker 1: We go to New York. Coach John Harbaugh is handing

  Speaker 1: the keys to the Giants franchise to J.J. McCarthy. Are
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: we in or are we out on this one? Also,

• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the Bills players become too comfortable under new coach Joe
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Brady with players treating discipline as optional? Two players busted

  Speaker 1: for spitting. That's not good. We'll talk about all that
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and more. Have a wonderful Thursday, the 22nd day of October.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Here it is, hour number four. What can Big Blue
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: do for you? Well, that would be a quarterback change.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Maller Show. We are in the air everywhere. Locking horns
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: as we say no to that plugola. Just did some

  Speaker 1: powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the ingredients. Better ingredients.

  Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. studios as we hang out here together.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And Jared, the cabbie from South Dakota, he says, Ben,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I know there's a big baseball game tomorrow. Can I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: watch that? Yes. Yes, you can, Jared. There is no
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: time like October. And this is what it's all been for.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: The World Series is here, streaming live on Fox One.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: The Brewers versus the Rays on baseball's biggest stage. One
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of these franchises will win their first World Series. I
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: know that's exciting for Faze from Chicago. Stream it live
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: on Fox One starting Friday night. Yes, the Miz will
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: be on the mound for Milwaukee as they attempt to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: get the jump in the All-Dome World Series, assuming the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: roof is closed, which it likely will be there in Milwaukee. Now,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Peter in Ottawa says, and I think it was the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: RPS commentator as well. They were like, hey, can you
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: tell me that King thing? I said, well, it's more
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: than that. It's DraftKings, an official partner of the NBA,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: now available in all 50 states. So wherever you live,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: follow your favorite NBA stars, get excited about the biggest matchups,

• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That's promo code MALLER at DraftKings. The crown is yours.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And that's the way we do things around these parts.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the NFL, the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: National Football League. As we head into week seven, the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Patriots and the Bears tonight. We did Benny versus the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Penny on that game. So if you're not with us
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: all night, you want to hear the pick and what
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: we expect to happen in that game, check that out
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: in the Hour 2 pod. It may touch a raw nerve.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It may touch a raw nerve. Our lead this hour
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: is from Jersey, where the New Jersey Giants coach John
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh has demoted famous Jameis Winston. Grab some bench now.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You grab some bench. And the Giants have named J.J.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: McCarthy as their starting quarterback, not only this week, but
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future. Did you see this? No, maybe not.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: The Viking trash has become the Giants starter. Harbaugh called
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the decision, quote, self-evident. McCarthy got into the game on
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Sunday and made a few plays, and the Giants got
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: back into the game. They didn't win the game, but
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: they got back into the game. Now, Jameis Winston had
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: only seven touchdowns and five interceptions this season, taking over
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: for Jackson Dart, the first-place Giants. First place, they're 3-2-1. Whee!
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: They acquired McCarthy in a dump from Minnesota for a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: fifth-round pick. How do you turn a Top 15 pick
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: in the NFL draft into a fifth-round pick. Well, ask
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the Vikings. You can ask the Vikings about that because
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that's what happened. McCarthy facing a Houston defense that has
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: been playing better of late. 18 sacks in five games
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: for D'Amico Ryan's Houston Texans. And he took over the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: play calling on defense. Harbaugh betting that McCarthy's mobility... can
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: help spark some kind of offense that has not been there.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: The Giants have been sputtering, plotting offense for the New
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: York Giants. So that is a good jumping-off point. Let
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question. Coach John Harbaugh handing the keys
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to the Giants franchise to J.J. McCarthy. Are we in
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: or are we out on this one? So I've got
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: American Idol, Dead Sea Scrolls, and Rain Ponchos. And we
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together. We will not
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: be speechless. Although we will be eating the gabagool, the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: baba ganoush, and the jambalaya. And we'll have a little
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: matzo ball soup. So a little bit of this, a
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: little bit of that. That's how we're going to do things.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Everyone good? Okay, everyone's good. So my first thought to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: answer the question, are we in or out on J.J. McCarthy?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: We are all in. Excuse my Latin. I believe the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: phrase is carpe diem, right? Seize the day, seize the day.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And McCarthy has been handed the keys to the Giants' kingdom.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Just don't drive it into a moat. The Giants are
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: not handing McCarthy the entire franchise. That is not what's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: going on here. They're handing him a learner's permit. is
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. They say, all right, here you go.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: That's it. This is not a coronation. It is a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: dress rehearsal. In fact, here is J.J. McCarthy, who is
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a much better soundbite than he has been a quarterback,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: commenting about the opportunity presented to him with the Giants.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I believe just experience does wonders. Being able to be
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: in that same situation where you might have made a
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: mistake the last time, This time, you're just going to
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: react better and make a more, you know, well-rounded response
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: decision in that, you know, situation. And, you know, just
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: being around great talent and great coaches, you know, absolutely
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: love everyone on the offensive side of the ball and
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball does a tremendous job
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: of just, you know, giving us opportunities and, you know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: always making sure we stay in the game and, you know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: fight to the last, you know, seconds of each game.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: A lot of you knows. A lot of you knows. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: That is a shot. If I was running a tabloid newspaper,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: which don't really exist much anymore, and I was in Minnesota,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: headline is, J.J. McCarthy takes subtle shot at Kevin O'Connell
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and the Viking coaching staff. I say, hey, getting reps, right?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: You've got to play. You've got to work through the mistakes.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: The Vikings didn't. He's essentially subliminally sending the message, the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Vikings did not allow me that opportunity. They signed Alligator
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Arms Murray, who stinks, by the way, and they did
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: not allow me that opportunity. But I think of this
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: from the wide-angle lens, the football version, J.J. McCarthy taking over.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: It's like back in the day, American Idol, Jameis Winston
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: got the Simon Cowell treatment. Now, Jackson Dart is home
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: with a doctor's note, and J.J. McCarthy, you're going to Hollywood. Winston...
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: was just the understudy who forgot the lines. We thought
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: he knew the lines. He forgot the lines, Jameis Winston.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And knocked over the scenery, the stage, broke into a
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: flop sweat under the bright lights. The Giants quarterback job,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: at this point, it's like an Airbnb. Nobody actually owns it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Nobody actually owns it. Everybody's just renting it. The Giants
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: quarterback bingo card has a blank square in the middle.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And J.J. McCarthy's got a chance. assuming he doesn't lose
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the job right away and suck, he has an opportunity
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: between week seven and the end of the year to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: put his stamp on it and to be the man.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: You can't be the man. If you aren't the man,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you won't get the chance to be the man. All right, now, meanwhile,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to Green Bay we go, where Packers running back Josh Jacobs,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: he's back, and he faced the media for the first time.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: The Green Bay running back expressing remorse. You might remember
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: he pled no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage charges.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: If you believe the Internet, he beat the crap out
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of his then girlfriend, who apparently is no longer with him.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: The girlfriend accused him of throwing her down. There's also
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: this phantom video, which hasn't seen the Internet yet, which
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: apparently shows some naughty behavior. And Jacobs apologized for putting
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Green Bay in this situation. And I normally don't play
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: things that are very long because I don't have patience
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: for that. My attention span. However, I do want to
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: play this soundbite. And you talk about three second, four
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: seconds decisions can change your life. But there's something that
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: he did here, something that. Josh Jacobs did. which was
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: so overwhelming. When I saw this earlier, I couldn't think
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: about what was actually being said. I, there's only one
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: thing about this that got my attention. So I wanted
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you to listen to it and see if you're hearing
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the same thing that I'm hearing. This is Josh Jacobs
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: apologizing to the green Bay Packers. Let's go to the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: audio tape.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I'm excited to be back with the team, um, with
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: the guys. Um, I want to say, uh, thank you
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: to the organization. Um, really for supporting me throughout this
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: whole process and how everything played out. With that being said,
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: I can't get into a lot of things, like specifics
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: of things, but obviously, man, I'm remorseful and sorry for
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: putting this team in this situation. You know, sometimes when
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: you go through life, situations occur, and for a second,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: three-second decision, you know, can alter your life, honestly. But
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: with that being said, man, still a human being, man,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: still trying to learn, still trying.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: To grow from the whole process.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Actually learned a lot throughout this process legally and just personally. But, yeah, man,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: going forward, man, I just try to be better. I
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: know for some people this might be, you know, a stain,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: on me and my character. I feel like I don't
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: have to really speak on my character. A lot of
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: people that know me in this locker room or that's
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: been around me, I let them do that. But for me, man,
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: I'm just trying to come back in here and play ball,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: learn from this mistake, and move forward.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, so we'll just get to it. He is
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: eligible to play, right? The NFL removed Josh Jacobs from
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the commissioner's exempt list. He missed... Six games, he is
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: eligible to play. The league says that they could still
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: punish him more. I assume that video ever gets out
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: of him beating the chick up, he'll probably be punished more. Now,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Packer fans were praising Josh Jacobs for that. The question is,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: how did that sound? How did Packers running back Josh Jacobs'
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: apology for apparently beating the crap out of his then-girlfriend,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: how did that sound to you? So, the sound... was cringeworthy.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I've heard guys at the DMV explain why they don't
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: have proof of insurance with more confidence than Josh Jacobs.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Jacobs was playing a game of verbal Jenga. Every time
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: he opened his mouth, another block came tumbling down, down, down.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: That apology sounded less like a professional athlete delivering an
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: accountability and all that stuff. It was like a nervous
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: employee desperately trying to remember what the stock answers that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: he was given. I love that he said, hey, I'm
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: still a human being. I thought he had become a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: reptilian or a Nordic, one of the UFOs that visits us,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the greys, one of those things. Apparently he's still a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: human being. And it sounded like the Packers PR handlers
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: handed him a talking points memo or his agent or both,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and he treated that talking points memo like the Dead
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Sea Scrolls. He's a man of many words. Unfortunately, most
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: of the words from Josh Jacobs are um. Um. Um.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Um, um, um, um, um.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: Um, um, um, um, um.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Instead of periods, put an um or an uh.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, um or uh.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: That's the way to do it. I counted at least 25.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I listened to it four times. I counted 25 ums
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and uhs from Josh Jacobs. Can we play the beginning?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Every one of the sentences at the beginning, just about
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: everything he said, he ended with um or ah. He
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: mixed in extra ums and ahs in the middle. Listen,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: take a listen. Play it again, play it again, play
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: it again, play it again. I'm excited to be back
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: with the team, with the guys.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: I want to say thank you to the organization really
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: for supporting me throughout this whole process and.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: How everything played out.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: With that being said, I can't get into a lot
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: of things, like specifics of things, but obviously, man.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I'm remorseful. Oh, yeah. Josh Jacobs. Right there. He was tongue-tied, tongue-tangled,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and tongue-marinated in a corporate word salad, searching for the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: right phrase that he was told to say. And it's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: like going to a landfill. Say, I lost my car
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: keys in the trash, and it ended up in the landfill.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Can I find my car keys? Yeah, sure. Start digging, dude.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Start digging. Just do it. And Josh Jacobs, a proud
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Alabama Crimson Tide player. Didn't he play for Nick Saban
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: at Alabama back in the day there? Got that Alabama
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: education working out very well. All right, final thought. We
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: go to Western New York. Western New York, where lightning
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: has indeed struck twice. Here we go, Buffalo. Much to
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the dismay of Phylexis, America's favorite drag queen caller. in
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: New York, and Inca Terror, and Mark the Walker, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: all the other, you know, Derek the Bills Mafia guy,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: all these guys. The NFL has suspended special teams captain
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Sam Franklin Jr. of the Bills Mafia. One game without pay.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: What did he do? The allegation is he spit a
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: big old loogie at a Raider opponent following his An
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: extra point in the late stages of Buffalo's win over
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the Raiders. Now, Franklin denied that he spat on a
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Raider player he plans to appeal. He, for now, has
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: become the second Bills offender. The second Bills offender. You
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: might remember the loudmouth C.J. Gardner-Johnson also received a one-game
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: suspension for spitting in At Raiders tight end Brock Bowers,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson was ejected. The cameras caught that incident. Franklin
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: was not penalized. Sam Franklin Jr., Buffalo, was not penalized.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Video evidence remains inconclusive. The NFL cited its sportsmanship rules. Now,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Buffalo does not play this weekend. The Bills will not
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: play this weekend. They face Baltimore. That'll be coming up
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: November 1st. Franklin could miss that game pending the appeal
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: from the NFL. The bigger question, though, have the Buffalo
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Bills players become too comfortable under the new head coach here,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady, with players treating discipline as optional? So there's
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: really only one way to process this, and that is
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: to nod your head. Yes, I'm nodding my head. Yes,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady has created a player-friendly environment. He's a player's coach,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: unlike McDermott. Unfortunately, the players are apparently a bunch of
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: llamas direct from Peru. You know, llamas will spit anywhere.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: And the Bills are circling the wagons, right? And really
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: on this one, they're not even really circling the wagons anymore.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: They're circling the Spittoons is what they're doing. In fact,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the Bills, we believe, have become the first NFL team
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that needs a splash zone warning for opposing players. You
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: have to put up a splash zone warning when you
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: come near a Buffalo Bills player. And you know things
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: are loosey-goosey with the Buffalo Bills when the equipment manager
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: has to go on Amazon and order rain ponchos for
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the opposing sideline. As a courtesy. Yeah. There's that much
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: spit from the Bills. They'll spit at you. And Joe Brady,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: who seems like a nice fellow. I don't know him.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Seems like a nice guy. So you're either coaching a
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: football team or you're supervising recess at the local elementary school. Johnny,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: you can't spit on Billy. Bad job by you, Johnny.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: The Bills have all the discipline of a bachelor party
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: in Tijuana.
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: A lot of dumb penalties. Not a well-coached team. They
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: got a good record. They're not a well-coached team. And
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I guess the rule book, the discipline policy is written
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: on an Etch-a-Sketch. I assume it's kind of a country
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: club atmosphere masquerading as a football operation. And I think
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the only thing they don't have there is a nice
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: omelet station. They need an omelet station, but they don't
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: have that. So they're going to have to work on that.

• 21:45
  Speaker 1: There is no time like October, and this is what
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: it's all been for, all this baseball all year. The
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: World Series is here streaming live on Fox 1. It's
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the Brewers versus the Rays. A couple of upstart teams.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: One of them will win their first World Series in
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: franchise history. It'll be history on baseball's biggest stage. Stream
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: it live on Fox 1. So make sure to check
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: that out. The Mallard militia with a lot to say.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I love this message from the Russian kid who's been
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: with me a long time. He's a truck driver. He says, Ben,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: you know I'm from Uzbekistan, and in the Uzbek language,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the word um... Let me try to clean this up
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: for the radio. According to the Russian kid who's from Uzbekistan,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the word um in his native tongue means it's a flower,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: pussy willow. Might be missing part of that word, but
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: he says... In the Uzbekistan language, the word um means
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: pussy willow. He says, for 20 years living in this
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: beautiful country of America, the sound of that always makes
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: me chuckle. And completely reasonable, completely understandable Russian kid, the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Russian kid that that would make you laugh. I would
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: think that would be the funniest thing in the world.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: You must love these athletes because most of them say
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: um after every single sentence they say. It's um, um, um, um, um. Um, um, um, um, um.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Um, um, um, um.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: King Roy says, you know what they say. You can
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: take the player out of Raider Nation, but you can't
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: take the Raider Nation out of the player. Gunner says,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: why do you call my call bad? I thought it
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: was great. The reason, Gunner, I called your call bad
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: is because I heard it and I was part of
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: your call. You had a Middle-aged woman screaming about yogurt
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: in the background. We couldn't understand half the things you said.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: You gave the same propaganda you always give about the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers and the Minnesota Timberwolves. So I'm looking for
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: original material. That's all I want, original material. I'm trying
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: to make you a better caller. You suck! I'm using
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: tough love, Gunnar. I'm using tough love is what I'm doing.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Let's take some calls. It is a call-in show. And
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: let's say hello to eeny, meeny, miny, moe. He's hollering
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: James still in the building. We have hollering James who's
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: been there pretty much the entire night. He's coughing. It
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: sounds like he's there. Hello, James. Hollering James.
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: Hollering James is not snoring. He's not boring. I'm adoring.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: That's great. Are you on a ventilator?
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: No, I'm on meds.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I know you're on meds. It seems like you're breathing
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: at a very advanced rate.
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: I know the advanced rate is so high. I have
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: sleep apnea, which allows me sometimes to just crash out, snore,
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: and win a contest. And sometimes I'm just wide awake,
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: breathing heavy, like I'm looking for a hundred.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask a question. I'm going to see
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: if you're paying attention here, James. Can I ask you
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: a question to see if you're paying attention? You listened
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: to the entire show. I want to ask you a question.
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: Ask me a question. Go ahead.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I haven't asked the question. Where can you watch the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: World Series, which starts tomorrow?
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: The World Series will be on Fox One.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Hey, look at you. You know, James, there's no time
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: like October, and this is what it's all been for.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Did you know that? It's in the copy right here.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: It says it in the copy. The World Series is
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: here streaming live on Fox One. It's the Brewers versus
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the Rays on baseball's biggest stage. You can stream it
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: live on Fox One. Did you like that copy? Was
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: that good read by me? I did a good job
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: on that? You like that?
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: You led me right up to the copy, and.
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: I followed the copy perfectly.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of you.
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: Ben, Ben, as it led to that copy, it'll be
• 26:04
  Speaker 10: the first World Series won by one of the two teams.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm following along, Ben. Good job by you. No,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: you don't get a golden ticket, but I'm proud of
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you for paying attention. That's the most important part of
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the show. I didn't ask you about what I said
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: in a monologue. I didn't say hip, hip, hurrah or
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: anything like that from a monologue. No, I asked you
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: a question about copy, and you responded. You were listening.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of you, James. You know what? I'm going
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: to give you a puffy sticker. You get a puffy sticker.
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: Will you mail it to me?
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Well, I've tried calling you. You only answered your phone
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: one time I've called you, so you've got to figure
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: that out. I'll answer.
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: I'll answer.
• 26:49
  Speaker 11: Hey, Ben, I have a question for you.
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: Will you mail me a T-shirt?
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: That's very random. What kind of T-shirt would you like?
• 26:58
  Speaker 10: One of those Van Maler short t-shirts with your signature
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: on it.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: We currently don't have any for sale. We have some
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: old bootleg versions. I am thinking about, yet again, every
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: year I say the same thing around this time of
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the year. I say, well, let's start on like a
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Maler shop and sell some crap.
• 27:14
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: But you're not going to pay. The problem I've learned
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: over the years, I've sold merch in the past. The
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: problem is the vast majority of super fans have no
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: money to buy the merch. They want it for free.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: They don't want to actually pay for it, which becomes
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: problematic when you're selling it.
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: But I've been a long-time listener, Ben.
• 27:33
  Speaker 11: You know I'm dedicated.
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: When I stick to the format, I'm really sticking with it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What are your other favorite shows, James? I know
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: you love this show. What are your other favorite shows
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you listen to, James?
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: Koopaloop Show, this segment.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: The Koopaloop Show.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I got you.
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you, James. Any other takes you want to
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: give out here?
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: I have a question. Let me ask you a question, Ben,
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: real quickly. Why does the tooth bite me?
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Because he talks to you. That's why. If he didn't
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: talk to you, he'd have no problem with you. But
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: he actually talks to you. Quick, James, think of another
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: question so you can stay on the air. Ben, what
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: do you think of the Vikings this year? What do
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: you think the Twins should do this offseason? How about
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Ann Edwards? Do you think he's a good player? Yeah.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I know all your takes, James. You've given me the
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: same questions 8,000 times over the years. All right, I
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: got to go. Thank you. Let's say hello to Mike
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the Leprechaun, who's up next. Hello, Mike the Leprechaun. Welcome.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: Halloween James is growing on me.
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: He's funny.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: Anyway, Halloween James is a hoot.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: You can't say, um, that's offensive in the Uzbekistan language,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: according to the Russian kid.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: You can't say.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: Pussy willow. Pussy willow.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Something like that, yes.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: I'm picking the Pats tonight, the underdogs, obviously, by two points.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: You pick the Patriots every game you pick the Patriots.
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: There's only one game.
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: There's only one game today.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I understand, but every week it's, I pick the Patriots.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: It's like the old Bears skit on Saturday Night Live.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: The Bears. The Patriots.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: All right, so I have a doctor update.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: We have a doctor update. We like to let all
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the affiliates know there's a doctor update.
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: Here we go.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: I'm still the tallest apricot, apparently. I'm not pregnant, which
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: is good. But my hip is failing.
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: One of my hips.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: So I'm seeing the risk. specialist today for probably an
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: operation set up.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, the hip replacement.
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: There was a guy that used to manage the Dodgers
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: years ago who said that was the most painful thing
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: he ever had was his hip. He had both hips replaced.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: Well, I've had butter my hips resurface, but this time
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: it's going to be replaced. And back in 2010, that
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: doctor said I was the most interesting person in the world.
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: I even saw that in goats from before. But anyway,
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: I'm meeting him today, and I guess I have to
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: bite the bullet. Anyway, so that's fine. It's all good.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, good luck biting the bullet there.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Pain, bite the bullet is terrible.
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: Pain, it's not good.
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: But anyway.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Doesn't that come from, bite the bullet comes from which
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: World War? World War I.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: You had to bite off the capsule of the bullet.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: That is true. Very good. All right, Ben. So, Blythe
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: Scott says you.
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: Have a cult.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I have a cult. Oh, yeah, he's upset. Yeah, he's
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: accused me of that because people say mean things to him,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: but it's not because of me. I don't tell people
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: to say mean things to him. I like Scott. I've
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: known him for years. I've seen him when I've gone
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: to Boston and all that. He's changed a lot over
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the years, but I'm fine with it. It's all good.
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: His favorite song is Let's Give Them Something to Talk About, correct?
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: By any rate.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you. How about this?
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: All right, thank you.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones says he does not anticipate any coaching changes
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: this season. Dallas off to a 2-4 start. Of course,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: if he did, would he say anything? Yeah, the Cowboys
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: did hire former Browns head coach Mike Pettin as a
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: defensive guru. The Cowboys ranked 30th out of 32 teams
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: defensively under the guy they were calling God's gift to defense,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Christian Parker. who came over from the Philadelphia Eagles, part
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: of the Uncle Vic coaching staff. But Jerry Jones doubling
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: down on his coaching staff. At least that's what he's
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: saying today as the Cowboys continue to chronically underachieve. And
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: he has blind loyalty. He loves his coaches. And Jerry
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: also says he is... Well, he's not planning a coaching change.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: He's willing to acquire more players. The trade deadline is
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: November 10th in the NFL. So it'll be here before.
