• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the Day. Bending steel, bending reality. And our lead this hour...
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Right there where they give birth to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the Ohio River. You have Steelers coach Mike McCarthy who
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: was asked about the status of defensive back Joey Porter Jr. McCarthy,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the rotund coach of Pittsburgh. Noncommittal. Noncommittal about the return
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of Porter who missed the season opening win over Atlanta.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: There was a well-publicized contract squabble. which ended with no contract.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: The ruling on the field stands. Ruling on the field stands.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So if you didn't see the latest on this, perhaps
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you missed it. I think it's pretty interesting. So the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: contract quagmire continues, and the public explanation is that Joey
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Porter Jr. suffered a back injury that surfaced at the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: very start of training camp and disrupted... his preparation for
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the season. If you're a very gullible person, you believe
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that as the gospel. Yeah, McCarthy says the Steelers are
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: handling Porter's situation day by day. He did not give
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: any kind of assurances that the defensive back will be
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: on the field for the upcoming game in the Commonwealth
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: against the New England football team. So that is a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. How
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: would you describe... the stalemate between Joey Porter Jr. and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. So I've got Swiss Army, the Copacabana,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and Deposition. And we will combine all of these things together,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and we are going to talk the bark off a tree.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk the bark off a tree is
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: what we're going to do. So to lead off here,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: What the Steelers are publicly calling a back injury, that
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: is the public position of the football team in Pittsburgh.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Everybody else is calling it a negotiation. The people that know.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: The real ones. It's a negotiation. This is NHL-level stuff.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Hockey season's coming. I ran into Eddie at the Charger game.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: My buddy Eddie used to work here. They whacked him.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: But I ran into Eddie at the Charger game, and
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Eddie's all excited because hockey's beginning here.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: We were.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: We were yapping about that, and he was talking my
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: ear off about his hockey stuff and all that. But
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: this is NHL-type stuff, because the word on the street
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: is that Joey Porter was a healthy scratch by the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh football team, meaning he was medically able to play
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: for the Steelers. He chose not to. He chose not to.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: That's the popular opinion by popular people. Now, we don't
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: know for sure, but it is a bit of a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: medical mystery that And I do know just from being
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: around the industrial complex of professional sports that this goes
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: on all the time. So please stop whatever you're doing.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Stop insulting our intelligence. Lower back soreness. Lower back soreness
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: is the Swiss Army knife. The Swiss Army knife of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: contract disputes. It has been since the early days. And remember,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: as they say on the infomercial, 9 out of 10
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: professional athletes... recommend a lower back injury when you're in
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a contract kerfuffle oh my back oh my back uh
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: yeah so that's uh that's how that goes now here's
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: why if you missed it in a previous episode we
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: talked about this various thing the lower back injury is
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: perfect because of the fact that it is subjective it
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: is difficult to disprove and capable of lingering indefinitely which
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: checks everything that you need when you're trying to be
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: an a-hole and not work, which it sounds like Joey
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Porter is trying to become that guy or he is
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that guy. So if you gave truth serum out, you
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: handed out truth serum and you went South park to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Joey Porter, Jr. Said, Joey, show me on the doll
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: where the Steelers hurt you. All right. And Joey Porter said,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: would likely say that his back hurts exactly, exactly where
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: his wallet is located. That's where the lower back pants.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: For some reason, I guess he's got a fanny pack,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and he's got his wallet in the fanny pack, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the fanny pack is on the back of him for
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: some reason, and that's right there. That's right. You're pointing
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: right at it. That's the spot. And so Pittsburgh is
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: at impasse. They will not negotiate a contract during the season.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: So that's it. And no amount of icy hot. No
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: amount of icy hot is going to make that back
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: pain better. The only thing that will make it better
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: is a whole lot of shekels and pesos. A lot
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: of those will make it better. Now, the plot twist
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: here is there is no plot twist. The plot twist
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: is there is no plot twist. Paycheck, unhappy. All right? Player, unavailable.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Period.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Stop. That's it. That's it. No mystery here. If the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Steelers said, we're going to change our company policy, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to decide to give Joey Porter Jr. a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: record-setting contract, all of a sudden, his back would heal.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: He'd be in a bathtub filled with dead presidents, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: suddenly his back would feel a lot better. Porter didn't
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: get paid, and so now the Steelers are getting played.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: That's how this works. Now, furthermore, to la-la land we go,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the power company... embarrassing loss, embarrassing loss of the NFL weekend.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals were not trying to win. They're starting
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett, a sign they're not trying to win. The
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Cardinals beat up the Chargers. Holy Madison beer, Batman. How
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: did that happen? So Coach Jim Harbaugh, the day after
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: trying to explain what happened to his football team, he
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: admitted that he regrets not having the Chargers starters play
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: more in the preseason. And he attributes their lack of
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: playing to the sloppy performance against the Cardinals. It was
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a comedy of errors in the second half. They could
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: not run a play without committing a penalty. Harbaugh said, quote,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: we made some preseason-type mistakes, Harbaugh stated, acknowledging that his
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: first unit looked essentially undercooked against the lowly Cardinals. Cardinals managed,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: or the Chargers rather, managed 268 yards. Arizona put up
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: almost 400 yards. Jacoby Brissett, you are so embarrassing. Oh,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: my God, Jacoby Brissett, 393 yards of offense for the Cardinals.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I know Lee. I don't know if you listen to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: him anymore, but Lee in Arizona used to work the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: overnight at the liquor store. Lee's a big Cardinal fan,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: one of the few Cardinal fans that's ever called the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: show in the history of the show. So I know
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Lee's happy if he's still listening. But Harbaugh prioritized, the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: theory is he prioritized keeping players healthy out of an
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: abundance of caution. out of an abundance of caution. um
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: don't want to play them in meaning meaningless games etc
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: etc etc so now he's second guessing that strategy after
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the chargers dropped a deuce right at the midfield logo
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: their public defecation so the question for the sporting nation
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: here's the question jim harbaugh is putting the Chargers opening
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: day sloppy, sloppy, sloppy performance on his own preseason strategy. Saying,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: blame me!
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I'm the guy!
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Is that how you see it? Is that how you
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: see it? So this is what's known in the excuse
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: game as farm-to-table. And when I say farm-to-table, I'm talking
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: about freshly, freshly shoveled grade-A horse fertilizer products. is what
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about. You're the head coach. You designed the schedule, right?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: You designed the schedule. Harbaugh filing a complaint. Now, who's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: he filing a complaint with, Jim Harbaugh? He's filing a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: complaint about the exhibition games, and it's kind of like
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Complaining about the workload as a coach in exhibition football
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: is like a bartender at the Copacabana back in the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: day complaining that the drinks are too strong. And it's like, hey, dude,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: you're the one pouring the drinks. You're the one in
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: charge of that. What are you doing? If the drinks
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: are being poured and they're too strong, you're the one
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: doing it. That's it. So check page seven. If you
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: check page seven of the coaching handbook here, you don't
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: get to manufacture the disaster and produce the disaster and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: then show up on Monday dressed like the lead detective.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh does seem to have changed from his days
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: with the Niners and his days At Michigan, you look
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: at Jim Harbaugh now, and he used to run a
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: football team, it seemed anyway, with an iron fist, that
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he was the boss, Jim Harbaugh, from the old country.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And there are times now when I watch Jim Harbaugh,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it's like the Chargers are getting a rip-off version of
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. He's been running training camp recently like it's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: an all-inclusive resort in Cabo. And I'm like, what are
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you doing? Look at some of the off-season stuff. Letting
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert spend a couple weeks over there in Europe
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: chasing around Madison Beer because she was failing on tour,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I guess. Her music career is not going very well.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: So he went out to cheer her up and Harbaugh
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: encouraged that and thought that was great. You also have
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: those cringeworthy moments during training camp. The PDA is going on.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And the way the Chargers played, not the greatest look
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: when your quarterback was out there canoodling during practice with
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: his celebrity lady friend and then goes out there and
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: urinates all over the Chargers bench. It's not great there.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: So the old Harbaugh, if you go back to the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: old Jim Harbaugh, he would call this current Charger team soft. Yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: The new hardball helped make it soft. It's very odd,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: but that's what happened. Now, last thing, the Philadelphia we go.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Injury drama-o-rama. Injury drama-o-rama in Philadelphia Eagles star left guard
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Landon Dickerson. Landon Dickerson is headed. To injured reserve. Well,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you say, who cares about an Eagles offensive lineman? I
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: get it. However, this one's got a little mojo to it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: There's a little mojo to this particular story. So it's
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a right knee injury described as a bone bruise. Now,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Dickerson gave an assessment of his performance in week one
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia football team against Washington. He said, quote,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I was a complete liability. He added that he played like,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and it's called a radio edit, he played like poopy. Now,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: he actually said the real word. For some reason, even
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: though we're in the safe harbor and we're all adults here,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: we're not allowed to say the word. Let's just say
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the ship has sailed. All right? A little meadow muffin action,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, okay. You get the point.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: You know what he said.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: All right, fine.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: So.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Dickerson claimed that he was rolled up on during practice
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: several weeks ago and expected the knee to improve. It
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: never really got any better. That's a problem. Imaging revealed
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the problem. So Dickerson acknowledged the Eagles offensive lineman that
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: he should not have been playing until he was healthy.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: He said as much, hoping to avoid another season.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Of battling the injury bug here and being compromised on
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the Eagles offensive line. So the question, you've got Landon Dickerson,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Eagles offensive lineman, who says he was a liability and
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: should not have been playing for the Philadelphia football team
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: in the game on Sunday. How does that land with you?
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: How does that land with you? So it's not candid camera.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: This is candid microphone. Did you know that Candid Microphone
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: was before Candid Camera? There was a show on radio
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: called Candid Microphone. So nothing screams elite sports medicine quite
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: like the patient announcing afterwards, yeah, I probably should not
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: have played. I shouldn't have done that.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So Landon Dickerson's interview sounded less like, this was on
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: sports radio in Philadelphia, it sounded less like your typical
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: sports talk radio and more like a deposition from Landon
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Dickerson here. The Eagles medical staff may have just volunteered,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: they've just been volunteered for a full audit by Dickerson
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: because there's going to be a follow-up here So they
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: get audited by their own player. Who goofed? I've got
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to know. So you don't need CSI Philadelphia on this one.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Dickerson just gave the prosecution their entire opening statement. He
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: just did. Right there. So, look, the NFL, as we know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: they love to investigate. They like to play cop. They do.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: They love to play cop. And they investigate Dickerson just
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: with this story, gave the prosecution what they need, as
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: we said. And the NFL, they'll investigate. They have sock
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: cops on the sidelines. Your socks are not high enough.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Your socks are too low. And it's like Goldilocks. They
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: have to be just perfect, just perfect, and that's it.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: So you think they're not going to investigate Dickerson, And
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: have questions about what's going on here. So nothing attracts
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the vermin from Park Avenue, quite like a player, publicly
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: admitting that he should not have been allowed on the field.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: And the reason they're going to investigate mainly is for liability.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: That they're concerned that down the line, Landon Dickerson is
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: going to file a lawsuit saying that the medical staff
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: was compromised and I talked about it and the NFL
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: did nothing, so... They're going to snoop around, I will
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: guarantee you that. The league loves to investigate everything. And congratulations, Philadelphia,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: because you just handed them the starter kit. Or at
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: least your offensive lineman, Landon Dickerson, did for another investigation.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: How's that Big Dom investigation going? Anything good? Has Big
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Dom been cleared yet? It is the Ben Maller Show,
• 18:06

• 18:28

• 18:30

  Speaker 1: has been heavily criticized for allowing his players to enjoy
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: blank after they lost to the Giants. All right, again,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer heavily criticized, heavily criticized for
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: allowing his players to enjoy blank after the loss to
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: the New York football Giants. That is the Maller riddle
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: of the day. The answer, we'll get to it, we'll

  Speaker 2: Here it is.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: So, Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer heavily criticized for allowing his
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: players to enjoy blank after the recent loss to the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Giants in Sunday night football. Mark from Queens says the
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Cowboys coach should never have allowed customized Whataburger delivered by
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: a parade of strippers. To the Cowboys after that opening
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: night loss. Well, that would have been something. Just the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: strippers lined up with Whataburger. Bags of Whataburger. King Rory
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: said drinking frosty chocolate milkshakes outside MetLife Stadium. That is
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the answer.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: That sounds delicious.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: King Rory. What do we got here? Luke, the vending guy,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: quoting Jerry Jones, said something involving glory holes. We know
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Jerry's a big fan of that and the oil business.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Loves him some glory hole for sure. Arik in Minnesota.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I want me some glory. That's right, Jerry. Allowing them
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: to enjoy the ballet at the Silver City Cabaret in Dallas.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: It sounds like Arik's had some good nights at the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Silver City Cabaret there. In Dallas, unless he hasn't. All right,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: what else? A night at the ballet from Eke in Roseville,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Minnesota as well. What else do we have?
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: I didn't know everyone loved ballet so much.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: A lot of men love ballet. They really appreciate the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: artistic ability of the performers at the ballet. JT, the wingman.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: You have Rob Parker, big fan of the ballet in Atlanta.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: He loves the ballet in Atlanta.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I didn't know they had a ballet in Atlanta.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: It's a magical ballet. It's a whole magical show. It's
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a city. It's magical. JT, the wingman, says poutine nachos.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: That doesn't actually look that good, JT. That does not
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: look good. Milk and Cookies from Analog Al. That's his answer.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Everyone's going ballet here. Inca Terra said evening at the ballet.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Mallard Chicken Fingers from Filler Up Phil. What else do
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: we have? Timmy from Busco, Indiana says he allowed his
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: players to enjoy complimentary scalp massages. Reading children's books from
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Donkey Sausage. Oh, look at that. The The Berenstain Bears.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I read that book when I was a kid. What
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: else do we have? Hookers and cocaine from our old
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: pal Vols fan Jimmy. Good to hear from Jimmy. He's
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: been around a long time with the show. Johnny Q
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: went with a type of circle as his answer. What
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: else do we have? Bill, that's the snowman, says that
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: would be the Mather chicken fingers. What else do we have? Rebecca,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Rebecca the Ram fan, says allowing them to enjoy Little
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Debbie's peanut butter bars. We used to get, every once
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: in a while, we did these big boxes of Little Debbies.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: It was great. One of our pals there in Providence.
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: I feel like we used to get Debbies and Boosies.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: We must not be doing that good a job. Where's
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the beaver nuggets? I think you cut it off. I
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: did not cut off anything.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: You did.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: You were complaining we were getting too much stuff.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: And I'm blaming you.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Actually, it was kind of a guy that I was seeing.
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: He was like, I'm not comfortable with all these guys
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: sending you gifts.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Well, there you go. That's the problem.
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: And I'm like, well, then maybe you should get me
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: some gifts.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Well, no. The problem is you screwed for me and Coop.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: You screwed it for us. And we had nothing. We
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: were just collateral damage here. No. Because some guy had
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: low self-esteem. That's not our problem, right? Right, Coop? I mean,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: we're married. We can handle little Debbie cakes and all that.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: We don't care. Yeah, I miss those days. I also
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: miss when I used to get mail every week, but
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: not now. I was thinking about Nico's Cheezies the other day.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: What are those Cheezies called?
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, the Canadian.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, they're so good.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those things are really good.
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: You could lick all the cheese off and be completely satisfied.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: It's disappointing that we have substandard cheese doodles in this country.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: It's the worst.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Like D quality. Once you've gone Canadian cheese noodles, you
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: can't go back. There's no going. In fact, I even
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: considered buying some on the internet, but I was, I
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: guess there's still having those taxes. Oh, the tariff, right?
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: The tariff.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I looked and I was like, well, that's not
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: really real.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Are we getting tariff refunds?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. Tattoo Baker. You know this
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: is real when Tattoo Baker says that the Cowboys coach
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: let them enjoy unlimited games at Chuck E. Cheese. Well,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: that would have been polite. That would have been great.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: I was going to say he let them play with horseshoes.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Horseshoes. Is that correct?
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: No.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: The correct answer, the Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer heavily criticized
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: after he allowed his Cowboy players to enjoy thick pastrami
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: sandwiches from the legendary Cat's Deli after the loss of
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the Giants. As many people pointed out back in the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: old days, Jimmy Johnson would have tipped the table over
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: with the pastrami and would have said, you guys play
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: like that, you're not getting any. No pastrami for you.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: For those that have been to New York and L.A. delis,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: there's a deli called Langer's Deli in L.A., which is
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: better than Katz's Deli in New York. And I will
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: die on that take. I will die on that take, Mountain.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: I'll have to check it out.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I love a good sandwich. Well, the problem is it's
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: in MacArthur Park, which is a demilitarized zone. It's a
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: different country over there in L.A. In fact, it's such
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: a bad neighborhood where this deli is, this Langer's Deli.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: They're only open until 4 o'clock. You know why? If
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: you're there at 4.01, you'll die. That's why. So they
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: close at four o'clock. So you have to just leave.
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: Isn't that where they did the huge bust like last month?
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: And then two days later, they did it for a
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: photo op for the local political hacks.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: And they let them go back in.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Two days later, all the crackheads and the
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: fentanyl fold people were back in the park. But yeah,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: it is a better deli. And I've been to both.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: In fact, my brother lives in New York, so I
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: go back there semi-regularly. And I've done the Katz's Deli
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: like on a Friday night. and then flown back and
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: then gone to Langer's, and Langer's is better.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: So this actually is a good, you know, reminds me
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: to ask you a question.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead, Coop, please.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I do know that you are a frugal person like myself.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: When you go to New York, do you stay with
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: your brother, or do you stay somewhere else? Because I'm
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: trying to plan a trip to New York.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, you are?
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: I can't believe.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Would you like to stay with my brother?
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: I don't think my wife would like that.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Probably not. Neither would you, by the way. You would
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: not like that either.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know, compared to how much hotels
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: cost out there, like, oh, my.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: You have to decide. Like, if you want to get
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: a cheaper hotel, you're going to have to stay in, like,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Jersey or outside the city. And then you have to
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: take a PATH train in, which is a pain in
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: the ass coop. But you will save money. You will
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: save money. I try to stay with my brother because
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I am cheap, but my brother raised two daughters, so
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: when they were living there, there really wasn't enough room
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: for us, so we'd have to get hotels and things
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I was looking at midtown Manhattan hotels, and it's like
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: 400 plus a night.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, don't go to midtown. Just go out
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: like Jersey or something like that, or there are some spots,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: but you're going to have to take the subway system
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: to get around, though. That's the problem. You're going to
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: have to stay out.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: And Where you will also die at 4.01 p.m.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Dude, I stayed... Oh, God. What was that town? It's
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: right near LaGuardia. It's a really, really bad neighborhood. But
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: they put me up. I was doing some work back there,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: and they put me up at this hotel. And I
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: pretty much just locked the door and didn't... You hear
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: people getting shot outside and stabbed. Oh, it was so bad.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: It was like, oh, my God. This is like the worst.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: What am I doing here? But, yeah. So, anyway. Anyway.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Sounds fun. Yeah, good times. I'm going to send you
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: some audio because I want to play this audio in
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit. So we'll play, let's see here, I
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: do that, and then I got to go over to
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: this thing. And while I do all that, let's go
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: to our buddy. We hung out with him. He's a
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: very nice man. We had a great time in Vegas.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: He had the The glass is on. He says they
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: were not working. Metaphor Kyle, as nicknamed by... He was
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: recording for sure. Definitely.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Come on, man. That was almost a month ago. I
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: was not recording. That was one thing I could not do.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: But you know what, though? I got some updated technology.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: A company put me up in a Tesla now. I'm
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: in the Model Y. Although they restricted everything in here,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I can't do anything. They restricted it to 70 miles
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: an hour. So you try to.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Repeat the beginning here. I was distracted. What did you
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: say at the beginning here, 70? What are you talking about?
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: The company gave me a Tesla Model Y.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's nice. That's good.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: No, it's not. No, it's not. They put restrictions on it. Yeah,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: there's so many restrictions on it. And then also, Lorena,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I went ahead and bought those bone-condensing headphones with the
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: cameras on it. Oh! So now I have a new
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: way to record people.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: But.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Really quick, because this is a sports show, so I
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: got to say my little sports take really quick. Go Bears.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Bears defense was bad. Who had a worse loss this weekend?
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Ohio to Texas or Green Bay letting Minnesota come back?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Um I'm going to– oh, you're asking Coop?
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Coop, you want to answer?
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: No, I was getting ready to say, Coop, I'm sorry
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: for your loss. You know, rest in peace to the
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Denver Broncos season it looks like so far.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: It's week one.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Relax.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Coop, the dreams of going– you can't go 17-0 if
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: you lose the first game, Coop. It's all over.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: That is true.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: You can't go 17-0.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: We're the better blue and orange team this year. Let's
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: just say that, okay? This year the Bears are going
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: to be the better.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Let's see how that Bears offense works when it's 20
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: degrees at Soldier Field and snowing. Let's see how that
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: works in a playoff game.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: We'll see, but you can answer the question, though, Ben.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Which team do you think out of what?
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: All right, so I'm going to go with Ohio State.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: They blew the lead. They played three good quarters of football.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: They had the game seemingly in control, and Arch Manning
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: was doing bupkis. He was watching AI videos on the sidelines,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: and then Ohio State gagged it away in the fourth quarter.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Although it is embarrassing to lose to Carson Wentz. It's
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: got to be.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: More embarrassing than getting robbed by a roach in one
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: of those shady motels.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Well, there was some questionable officiating in the Green Bay game,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: but the Packers, people are blaming that, but the Packers also,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: you know, they just.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: Well, when you pull the bed before everything... And Lorena,
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: real quick, because it's been a month almost that I've
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: called y'all, so I gotta give this last one. Because Lorena's...
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Not so pleasant story that I heard yesterday morning before
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: the other guys got off the air. I can never
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: look at a chocolate milkshake and a woman the same again.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, isn't that horrible?
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: That was.
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: Did you see that, Ben, at the High Rock Championships
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: in Beijing?
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: No, I did not.
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: This 22-year-old Australian had uncontrollable diarrhea during her training, and
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: she just continued the whole route indoor on a carpet,
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: and there was people beside her and behind her, and
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: she finished in first place.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I wonder if she has any gallbladder issues, because once
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: my gallbladder went out, I had some issues with it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Here's the interesting thing about that, Lorena. If she were
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: to spit... She would have been disqualified.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, but okay.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: As long as it's raining brown rain, it's all good.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I'm going to send you some pictures of it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, thanks.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I don't need to see that.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Hey, guys, I love you. Ben, I'm back to listening.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Back on this night shift again.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. We missed you. We thought we offended you.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: We thought you were annoyed.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on, man. Listen, you can't offend somebody that's
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: almost like maybe a few inches shorter than you, okay?
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: All right, buddy.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: All right, well, call whenever. We're here for you. All right,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: thank you. All right, go away. There's our friend Metaphor Kyle.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Do we have this audio? So James Franklin, the old
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Penn State coach, now at Virginia Tech, and he believes
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: in niceties. James Franklin is a big niceties guy, pleasantries.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: You know those little pleasantries, you got to say somebody's name.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: And he had his weekly news conference doing the hokey
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: pokey there. And, well, this got very awkward here. as
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: he kept trying to get the attention of a reporter.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen. Here's
