  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from Jacksonville.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: What? Why?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Why? Well, let me explain.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: So we talk about the most compelling stories in the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: NFL and Trevor Lawrence throwing four touchdown passes and Jacksonville
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: with a domination situation, 34 to 10.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Full throttle. route or route of the Browns, that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Is compelling for us because of the losing locker room.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: The losing locker room.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence threw for 245 yards, four touchdowns, and opening
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the season Jacksonville.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: With an easy win. And that was the debut of
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the Monk Man, Todd Monken.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Remember the guy that missed the coach's team photo? because
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: he was getting a nice haircut for the team photo.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Todd Munkin?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I bet he wishes he was getting a haircut
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: instead of coaching the Browns, the way they played on Sunday.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: It was also the return of the creepy quarterback. Deshaun
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Watson was back. And better than ever, that's the Deshaun.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Watson I remember. He is not Mr. B. People were
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: making a big deal about Watson, this, that, and the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: other things. Well, I don't understand.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: That is the Deshaun Watson return. Two years, almost two
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: years after he was hurt. That's the guy that I remember.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: How did that go?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Cover your eyes. Watson finished 16 of 22.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: 205 yards passing. And the numbers.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: The numbers inflated, which led to an obvious conversation. And
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I think you're aware of this is like, what is
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the future hold?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: What is going on?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: The blame game, blaming Deshaun Watson. And that really set
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: this up. So a lot of people blaming Deshaun Watson. Now,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Todd Munkin is a little different than your normal coach.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: They all say, got to watch the tape. But typically,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: you won't make any big proclamation. You won't make any
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: big announcement. Declaration is the word I'm looking for. You
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: won't make many declarations right after a game. Well, the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: media was poking and prodding Deshaun Watson, and that led
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: to Todd Munkin.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: The head coach, to.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Defend his quarterback and was asked whether or not, of course,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the theme was benching and whatnot and the finger being
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: pointed at Deshaun Watson. So here is the head coach
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: of the Cleveland Browns, Todd Munkin, who was asked about
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: this and benching your quarterback, and it's on Deshaun Watson.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: He was terrible and all that, and here's what he
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: had to say. Take a listen.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: We'll analyze everything that we do. It's not just him.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: We're putting this on Deshaun, which is unfair.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Yes!
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: No, it's not.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Whatever there is externally doesn't matter to me.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: That doesn't affect me. It should.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: It has nothing to do with my decision making. My
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: decision making is what's best for the Browns now and
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: moving forward. That doesn't mean that I don't understand their frustration.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: I've said that since I've been here.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Same with me.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I didn't take this job to lose. And I'm not
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: trying to be rude.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Please don't.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: It's just the end of the game, the way we played.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: So we're going to analyze everything of how we do it,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: how we coached, starting with me, how we do it offensively, defensively.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: And Deshaun is a part of that, right? Always has been.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Always will be. He's our quarterback.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Always will be.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: And then we'll assess it and go forward. But I
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: really want to just think, you know, For today, speak
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: about today.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And until I really get a chance to watch it
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and really.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Drill down, it's unfortunate for me to really comment on
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: any one given player because it's never as bad as
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: you think and it's usually never as good as you think. Now,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: it's hard to say that right now.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: You want to bet? It's actually worse than you think.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I've got to watch the tape. All these guys, the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: same thing. Got to watch the tape. Got to watch
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the tape. Is there a script? Oh, it's all the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: same crap.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I can tell you going in, when I'm watching the game,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I can say, depending on the outcome of the game,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: if a team played a close game and they lost
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: or won, the coach comes out and says, I'm really
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: proud of our guys.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Really proud of our guys. Our guys gave it everything
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: they had.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Now, you can't say that if you're coaching the Browns,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: because obviously the Browns didn't give everything they had.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: That was a lazy football team. You know, they'll say like, you.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Know, turnovers with a story or we didn't make enough
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: plays and all that standard stuff. But watch the tape
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: is at the very top. Watch the tape because tomorrow
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: will be a different story. Tomorrow will be a different story.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: And like I said earlier, if you weren't listening, it's
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: like you watch the tape and you're like, OK, well,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: we watched the.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Tape, but we want to move on. On to Cincinnati,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: as Bill Belichick used to say back in the day.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: when he was.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Beloved here's deshaun watson he said he wanted to prove
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: to everyone that he could still be an elite quarterback
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and i think he proved everyone that he's still elite
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: at suck here is watson.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: No i mean bad plays are gonna happen all the
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: time all around the league like everyone throws interceptions everyone
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: would you make bad plays and you know you gotta
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: get defense credit he made a good play on that
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: you know i thought you know even though i got
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: knocked off my platform a little bit i thought i
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: got it over him and he reached up and grabbed
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: it so um You got to move on to the
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: next play and try to move forward and try to
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: put something positive on the next drive.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you moved on to the next play. You made
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: more bad plays. So you're very consistent. And bravo.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: So Deshaun, you proved you were the same guy you
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: were when you last played for the Browns. I don't
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: know why people are upset. Here's the question. That's a
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. How
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: many quarters of bad Deshaun Watson football does Browns coach
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Todd Munkin need to see before Shadur Sanders gets the.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Opportunity, or anyone else for that matter. What do you need?
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Four more bad quarters?
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Eight?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Twelve? Sixteen? How many more games like that does one need?
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: So I've got British Sheik captain, Nerf Dart, and the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Surf and Turf. And we will combine all of these
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: things together, and we are going to attempt to not
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: talk her out.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: To not tuck her out.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Now, to lead off here, this should not have happened
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: to start. It was an epic fail, epic fail by
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the organization on its football malpractice to push Deshaun Watson
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: out there. To do that is malfeasance is what it is.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: And I still maintain, I believe this was not made
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: by Todd Munkin. Todd Munkin, based on his resume, should
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: not have been a head coach.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: In the NFL.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: The only team that would hire him was the Browns.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: And the theory is that the reason he got hired
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: is because he's a sock puppet. Gets paid a good
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: amount of money. Just do whatever they tell you to do.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Don't have an original thought. And that seems to be
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: what's going on in Cleveland with Todd Munkin. He seems
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: like a nice enough guy. You'd want to have a
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: beer with him.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you want him coaching your football team.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: And so he's like ownership wants to get something out
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: of Deshaun Watson. He's got a little bit of guaranteed
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: money left in this dream scenario that Watson goes out,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: plays well enough to seduce some other dumb NFL team
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: to trade for him. And then they get something for him.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: So it had to be Deshaun Watson. Todd Munkin is
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: not some kind of mastermind.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: He's just the middle manager.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: He accidentally told us everything when he tried to defend
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: his quarterback. He called Watson one of 53 in one
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: of the viral quotes there. That doesn't exactly sound like
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: a ringing endorsement at Watson's one of the 53. Now,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: some praise Todd Munkin for refusing to panic and listening
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to the fans, but He should be criticized for refusing
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: to acknowledge the obvious. It's always just like arrogance of like,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I know better than you. Well, not so much based
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: on that product you put out in the field. And
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: to me, Todd Munkin made matters worse postgame, sounding far
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: more irritated by questions about the quarterback than by an
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: offense that played like it was in a medically induced coma.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: in jacksonville and munkins uh you know they better get
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: us now he that was one of the quotes he
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: gave we didn't play that one but he said they
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: better get us now like somehow the browns are going
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: to morph into this amazing football team and hearing todd
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: munkin coaching cleveland say they better get us now that
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: warning is not some kind of brave warning it's the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: football equivalent of the british sea captain edward smith you
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: know who edward smith is you know your history You do?
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, maybe you don't. Maybe you don't. Edward Smith is.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Most famous for his final ride as a British sea
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: captain when he was in charge of a boat called
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the Titanic. He's currently buried at the bottom of the
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Atlantic Ocean. Things didn't go so well for British sea
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: captain Edward Smith. Made a good movie about him, though.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not good.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: All right, furthermore, now this is tied together. So former
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Steelers coach Mike Tomlin... Was.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Rolling, rolling, rolling on NBC.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: So he trolled, trolled the Cleveland football team. They were
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: showing highlights or lowlights. And the Browns blown out by
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: the Jags in week one. Tomlin, the TV commentator, after
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: all those years in Pittsburgh, said.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: when they.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Showed the Browns stumbling and bumbling around, he said, quote,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: in the words of my friend Juju Smith-Schuster, the Browns.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Are the Browns.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Seems like it's not that big a shot, yet some
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Cleveland backers had their panties in a bunch. They were
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: very offended by this. How dare you? So the question,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: did Mike Tomlin cross the line by taking a shot
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: at the Browns while they were showing highlights of Jacksonville
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: monster-mashing over.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: The Cleveland football team. So I'm giving this one side-eye.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: I am.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: This is television.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Literally and figuratively, the job is to have an opinion.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Nobody hired Mike Tomlin to read the ingredients on a
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: cereal box. And he no longer has to maintain diplomacy. Now,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: there is some diplomacy because he doesn't want to coach again. Clearly,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: he's not worried about coaching the Browns. He wouldn't take
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: that job. And so he's going to be back.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: But you can take shots.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: The Browns are low-hanging fruit. The most delicious fruit is
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the low-hanging fruit. And if you don't want Mike Tomlin
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: making fun of you, I have an idea.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Stop being funny. Stop being a punchline.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Tomlin served up. That take, he quoted, he didn't even
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: own the take. He quoted Juju Smith-Schuster.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Saying the Browns are the Browns. He didn't even own it.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: That's in the industrial complex of the hot take. That
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: take is tapioca pudding. That's a tapioca pudding take by
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: All right? With extra whipped cream as criticism. That's what
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: This could have been so much more lethal, like an anaconda.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: It could have been. Or a barracuda.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Throw some hot sauce in there, a little broken glass.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Get a flamethrower. Instead, he shot out a Nerf dart.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin shot off a Nerf dart, and you're offended
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: by a Nerf dart. And these Browns fans reacting like he.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Fired a cannon. It wasn't even a musket.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: If that qualifies as offensive commentary, then Mike Tomlin, I
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: didn't know he was a shock jock, didn't seem like that.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Maybe NBC might as well replace all the analysts over
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: there with the airport departure boards.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Just put that up. That's not offensive.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Come on. If you're a Cleveland fan, you'd think at
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: this point you've beaten down so much that instead of
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: being mad at the messenger, you'd be mad at the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: message that keeps arriving every September. Be upset with your
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: own team It's Tomlin's just regurgitating what everyone's thinking.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: And then he didn't even own the take. He gave
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: it to Juju Smith-Schuster. All right, last thing. To La
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: La Land, the Rams are so important that they didn't
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: even play on Sunday and they still stole the headlines.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Miles Garrett, called the greatest player in the NFL in
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: terms of his domination.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Now, he's going to undergo knee surgery. Snap, crackle, pop.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: So the Rams, who look like they were waiting until
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: week two to start the season after they sleptwalked the
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: zombie apocalypse there in Australia, in Melbourne, Australia. Garrett is
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: headed to injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: four games. The upcoming Monday night game next Monday night
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: against the Giants, a game against the Broncos, the.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Eagles, and the Bills.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Those seem like some pretty good teams. That's a murderer's
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: row for the Rams. That is a murderer's row for
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: the Rams. Could return October 18th against the Arizona football team.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: So the reigning.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Defensive player of the year who pitched a shutout. Yeah,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: not a no-hitter, a shutout. Statistically, it was not in
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: the box score. Not in the box score against the 49ers.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Zero sacks.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Zero. Zero tackles.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: After setting the NFL single season record with 23 sacks
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: last season, that is a record that will not.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Be broken by him anyway this year.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: So the question, what's the level of trouble? What is
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: the level of trouble that the Rams are in with
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Miles Garrett headed to to knee surgery. So on the
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Maller scale of trouble, from zero to six, zero being
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: no trouble at all, six being this is not good,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: this is the worst, I am at a four.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I'm at a four on the Maller scale of trouble. Now,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: what does that mean?
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: That is a structural crack with the Rams calling it
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: a feature. It's like a feature of the architect. We
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: designed the building that way, and it's a special feature.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: But no, it's a crack. Well, no, it's the person
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: that put it together. That's what they wanted.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: So the preseason Super Bowl favorites suddenly dealing with a
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: disastrous opening. And Miles Garrett headed for surgery. Aaron Donald
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: not yet on the field. Matthew Stafford looked like he was,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and I don't want to be too critical, he played
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: like he was about 112 years old in the opener.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: And you've got a high-priced roster facing this brutal stretch
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: without the reigning defensive player of the year.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: They already played one game without Miles Garrett, even though
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: he was there. He was a non-playable character, the way
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: he performed.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: So the Rams right now are looking like a big-budget
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: movie with a famous cast. They had a disastrous opening weekend,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: and we've seen this movie before.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: We've seen this movie before. It doesn't go so well.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: So Garrett's knee, supposedly, if you believe the story that
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: came out, of course, over the weekend, the fun house
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: of stories, always after the fact, always after the fact.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: So the story is that Garrett's knee was barking all
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: through camp.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark. All through camp, barking.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: And they flew him to Australia and decided to play.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: So who decided to sign off on that little field
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: trip to Australia? And how come you consult all the
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: experts on everything, travel, and you didn't consult the experts
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: on that? Or the other alternative reality is Myles.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Garrett could have played. And continued to play. He was
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: just embarrassed by his performance.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: And so rather than own that he just had a
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: terrible day, he's got to have a fall, guys.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: So it's a procedure. It's like, I'll have my knee scoped.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: And then no one can criticize me for pitching a
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: goose egg in Australia.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Because you see, my knee was barking. Well, yeah, you
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: could have kept playing. I was barking and all that stuff.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: So the issue isn't merely Myles Garrett missing four games.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: It's whether four games turn into eight games. or a
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: full season of management, meaning managing the knee. Managing the knee.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: Uh-oh.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: So the Rams went shopping at Neiman Marcus, and right
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: now they have ended up, at this time, they've ended
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: up with a cart full of medical co-pays. That's what
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: they have. So they went out, the Rams, and I
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: give them credit. They were big game hunting. And now
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: you go to the steak place.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to get. Where should I get
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: a steak? I don't know if I want a steak.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: How about I get the surf and turf? Okay, I'll
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: get the surf and turf. And then the lobster showed
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: up at the table wearing a booty, a medical booty.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a little booty on. Well, that's weird. I can't
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: eat a medical booty on a lobster. I've never seen
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: that before. Well, that's what you got. That's what you got.

  Speaker 2: I looked for Helmet Man when I was at the

  Speaker 2: Charger Cardinals game. I was walking around because he usually

  Speaker 2: hangs out selling crap, and I didn't see him. But

  Speaker 2: There are people driving around, dropping these hot dog carts
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: off at various.

  Speaker 1: Sporting events around L.A. Every sporting event outside, hot dog,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: hot dog, hot dog.

  Speaker 2: And there's like 15, 20 people lined up in a

• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Don't ever send that to me again, please. The correct

• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Madison Beer.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and her boobies, getting a lot of TV time.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: This has gone viral here. We talked about this last week,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I believe, the honey shot. Now, normally the honey shot
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: is some woman who's beautiful who nobody knows who they are.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: That's called the honey shot. People seem to know who
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: she is.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: I don't think her music career is going all that well, but,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Hey, better than me.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: So she's got a lot of attention, a fan of
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: her outfit there, people enjoying her wardrobe choice as she
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: was shaking what her mama gave her, her mama and
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: daddy gave her. All right, it is the Ben Maller Show.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Let's take some calls here. 877-99-ON-FOX is the call-in number, 877-996-6369.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Let's say hello to Hollering James, who's called back in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Hello, Hollering James. Hey, Ben.
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: I'm not sleeping. I'm just creeping.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Well, you were sleeping earlier. We put you on already.
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: I know. But did you see the Vikings' fantastic victory?
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: They almost lost it in the first half, but then
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: they bounced back at the end of the third quarter.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I heard about it.
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: Going into the fourth quarter.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Hey, James, I got a question for you, James.
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: Go ahead.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to book you for the Fifth Hour Podcast.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Remember I talked about that?
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: So you gave me your number, right? Remember that? You
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: gave us your number?
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: I got a new number, though, and I wanted to
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: give it to you.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: No, no, I know, but you gave us your new number,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and then that number doesn't work.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: So did you change your phone again?
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: I had to.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: Because a Somalian woman... I splashed her with water, holy water,
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: and she brought feminist charges against me. So now I
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: have to hope that she drops the charges or I
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: have to appear in court and pay a fine.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: That was not what I was expecting you to say, James.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: What were you expecting?
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: It's the whole truth, no truth, but nothing but a lie.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: So you've been charged with a crime?
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: I don't know yet. If she drops the charges, possibly not.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: How did you get holy water?
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: I got it from the church.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Why did you splash her with holy water?
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: I wanted to baptize her.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's how it works, James.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I'm not an expert in religion, but I don't think
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: that's exactly.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: Who was that priest that used to call you? There
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: was a priest that used to call you.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, Reverend Ray Green. Reverend Ray Green used to call
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Reverend Ray.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: You'd be surprised.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of rabbis and priests that love
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: the show, but they have second identities.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: They don't want to be known by their clergymen.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: Want to mention their name. Reverend Ray was pretty good.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: You miss Reverend Ray Green?
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: I wonder if we can get him to call you back.
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: It's like an old-time call show.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, Reverend Ray, if you want to call him.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Where's who?
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: Tammy Montana.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know. She hasn't called up in a while.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I was going to give her your number, but you
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: gave me.
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: I was going to give her your number. I've been
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: waiting for her to get my new number.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: That's probably why she hasn't called. Call Jack. Jack has
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: all my information. Listen to me. I'm going to put
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: you on hold.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Are you going to give Coop your number? Is this
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: going to actually work, this number?
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: This number will go through, and I promise you.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll put you on hold. Go on. Talk to him.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. Go ahead. Cool. I know you love giving
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: me James' phone number.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: What are we doing? Seriously. What are we doing? I see.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: What else do we have? I see Paige down. I
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: can't read that. Kathy and Madison's on a little bit
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: of a delay. She's sending in Goofy answers a little
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: late to the party. Well, a bunch of people asking
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: for a refund, a refund on the NFL Plus product.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: There were major technical difficulties for week number one of
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: the NFL season. and clearly not doing the proper amount
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: of due diligence to prepare for what you would think
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: is rather predictable.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Like, I don't work in that sector. I do not
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: work in that world.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: But I would think if I did work in a
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: world where I asked people to subscribe to a service
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: that has almost all of the product on one day,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: early TV window, late TV window, I would think I
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: would make sure that I would have enough resources... to
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: have the product ready to be delivered. So NFL Plus
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: suffered major technical.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Problems the first full Sunday there.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: It prevented, for a period of time, the people that
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: paid money from watching the games that they paid for
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: in the 1 p.m. Eastern television window. Now, the NFL
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: admitted the obvious. They couldn't hide from it because people
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: were posting clips of them trying to get on the thing,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: and it wasn't working.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: They said it was aware of the issues affecting the NFL.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Plus product and was working to fix them. The outage lasted,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: they say it was about an hour. And during that time,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: the people that paid money, possibly you, missed the kickoff
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: of the games, a lot of the first half of
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: the early games.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Now, this product costs $ 7 a month. Or $ 50 a year.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Premium costs $ 15 a month, $ 99 a year. And it
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: includes NFL Red Zone, NFL Pro. I don't know what
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: the hell that is. A bunch of other stuff. So
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: people missed a bunch of the action. And they were
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: demanding refunds, flooding social media, demanding they want money back.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: And others said they were just canceling their subscription and
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: all that. And so.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think the NFL is going to give any
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: kind of refund there.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Or prorated credit. They should give some kind of prorated credit.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: That's a major F up.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Heads are going to roll. Someone is going to lose
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: their job over that, you would think. Although, knowing the
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: way the NFL works, they probably just used AI, and
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: that's what happened.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: They didn't do the algorithm, bit them, and they took us.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: And that was the problem.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: It is the Ben Maller Show. We are moments away
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: from the Insta advice line. Unscreened radio. So who needs.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: The advice, the wisdom, the knowledge of the Maller Militia?
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: If you would like to recommend. I have some ideas here.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: It's obviously going to be NFL related. There's some good
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: stories in the NFL, the Cowboys defense, the Rams, the
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Seahawks losing their quarterback, Rams losing Miles Garrett and getting
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: smoked by the 49ers, Carolina's defense.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that need our advice. So
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: if you would like to recommend.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Someone and I will go with the pulse of the
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: people by the people, for the people, plausibly all about
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: the people.
