  Speaker 1: Release the Kraken! It's our number two! Our number two,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: ready to go, and here in our number two, it's
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: all about the Bears! The Bears! And we start out
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: with the story of the week here. Caleb Williams, who
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: was carted off, what looked like a season-ending injury. The
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams hamstring drama-o-rama medical documentary or Hollywood production? We'll
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: answer that question. Also, how much of this sloppy Chicago
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: football falls on the shoulders of Ben Johnson, the coach?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And in addition, over in Minnesota, how excited should Viking
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: fans be with the little fella, Alligator Arms' Kyler Murray?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: as he will return this upcoming weekend for the Vikings.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about all of that and more right now.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Here it is. Our number two. Oh, we went from
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: bear down to bear. Maybe. Welcome in the beginning of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: another hour of the Ben Maler show. We are in
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the air everywhere. Bear, BFFs as we enjoy the ultimate
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: audio playground. We've got the loop-de-loops, the slides, the merry-go-round,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: all of it, all of it, coast-to-coast, border-to-border, and beyond
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: on the vast and lip-smackingly powerful microphones of FSR emanating
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: live from the boulevard, the banter boulevard of the night,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: all night long. guaranteed human from the world-famous Fox Sports
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Radio studios where legends like Stevie Meatballs and Donkey Sausage
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: have demanded the Express. And you know what? If Stevie
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Meatballs and Donkey Sausage want it, and Notta Burner and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Doc Dan in Minnesota, even Key Lime Pie Bobby... Lorena
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: ruined that. We used to get key lime pie from Bobby,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: but she said no more key lime pie. We haven't
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: gotten key lime pie in a long time. It's a
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: bad job by her. Hey, Bobby. All right. Anyway, if
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you work in logistics, you know nothing moves without you.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Companies need skilled people now, and Express Employment Professionals can
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: help you find contract or full-time work that fits at
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: no cost to you. Visit ExpressPros.com. Get support. Get options.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And get... So the Monday night game was a rout
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: as the L.A. Rams are back. Tough day for the Trolls.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: They'll be back when the Rams lose again. The Rams
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: in the win column. The story, though, Jackson, Dart, Snap, Crackle, Pop.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: As all that good mojo the Giants had from beating
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, they had a little success stopping the Rams.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, four touchdown passes. However, our lead this hour.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: From sweet home Chicago, where Tree and Yafimi and all
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the other legends who love to show there are driving
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: out and about around the Windy City. And everyone talking
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: about the Bears for all the wrong reasons. And if
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you have not heard the follow-up to the injured Bears quarterback,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: it is a humdinger of a story. Now, we were
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: kidding around. At the end of a previous episode of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the show, we were like, wouldn't it be funny if
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams just came back and played in the next
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: game for the Bears? Wouldn't that be hilarious? After it
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: looked like he had been shot with a bazooka. Wouldn't
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that be funny if he just went back out and played? Well,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: there's apparently a chance he could do just that.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: What?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: What on God's green earth are you talking about? So
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is listed as week-to-week. No, I'm more day-to-day.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: He's week-to-week. His hammy apparently... Didn't go whammy! What? Yes,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the right hamstring injury, which looked like a career-ending injury
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: based on his reaction as he was scrambling midway through
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter in that thrilling Bears 9-3 loss to Minnesota.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: He was helped off on a cart. He was taken
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: off the field on a cart to the locker room
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: with a towel over his head, the whole thing. So
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: then we fast-forward... And Ben Johnson, Ben Johnson, coach of
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: your Chicago football team, revealed that he does not expect
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Williams to practice this week. Not a game, not a game.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: We're talking about practice. But, you know what that means,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: but notably has not ruled him out for the Monday
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: night game. Looks like we're having another bad Monday night game.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Bears and Eagles the next Monday night game. Now, Ben
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Johnson offered a optimistic statement. saying that Williams is, quote,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit different than the average human being. Oh,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: definitely is. And has previously returned from injuries faster than expected.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Is that true? That sounds like a lie to me.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a lie to me. Is that true? Anyway,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: The Caleb Williams hamstring drama or rama, is this a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: medical documentary or a Hollywood production? That's the question. So
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I've got code enforcement, daycare center, and jumbo-sized pink bottles.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And we will combine all of these things together, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: we are going to jump on a grenade, which is
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: what it looked like Caleb Williams had done, and it exploded.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Kaboom goes the grenade. Good night. It's all over. Apparently not. So, number.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: One!
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Number one! One, one, one, one, one, one, one, one!
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Number one! Stop.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: So the arrow is officially pointing at Tinseltown for K.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Lewis.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Remember, he got paid to pretend like he was going
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to USC to play football where he lived in his
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: luxury skyline apartment there in L.A., which is good because
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you don't want to be near the floor. That's where
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: all the smell of urine is from the homeless people
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: peeing all over the streets of L.A. because they're allowed
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to do that thanks to the great city leaders there
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Anyway, somewhere along the way, just getting
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: helped off the field became insufficient. And I don't know
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: when this happened. You got to play it up to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the cameras. Now, NBA guys are really good at playing
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it up for the cameras, but typically football players, these
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: were people with machismo. These were men's men. They're not
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: going to do the bull crap the NBA guys do
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: where they embellish injuries. Well, times have changed, and now
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you watch these injuries in the NFL. It's like dinner theater.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It's dinner and a show watching the NFL injuries, at
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: least with Caleb Williams. His exit contained more production value.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, the Bears quarterback, leaving the field, there was
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: more production value than most network halftime shows. Do you understand?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Do you understand what we're dealing with here with Caleb Williams?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: It's wild. The only thing missing was a sponsorship logo
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: on the cart that took him off the field. Missed
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: opportunity by the Chicago Bears. He starts with a towel
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: over his head. oh my god you know what they
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: put over your head when you're dead they put a
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: they put a blanket over your head when you're dead
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: so he put the towel over his head he then
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: caleb williams dramatically removed the towel and he unleashed what
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: appeared to be a primal scream oh the agony and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: then he looked around he realized the moment like a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: great actor he realized the moment And he gave an
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: arm pump, similar to when Donald Trump, the president, got shot.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Remember that? And he raised his fist in the air.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: One of the great photographs of this recent times and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: all that. Kayla Wiz, he pumped his arm in the air.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Everywhere.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Everywhere. That scream, though, that was like saving Private Ryan.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: It was just outstanding. It was so convincing. How convincing
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: was it? Thanks for asking. It was so convincing. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: was looking at the limb he lost to the grizzly
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: bear attack. I was like, oh, man. Hopefully they can
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: give him a different limb there to put on.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: And now.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Now we're supposed to believe that Caleb is made tough.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: He's like, it's going to make a Lazarus-type recovery or
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: something like that. Methinks not so much. And what I'm
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: doing here, on behalf of the real Chicago Bears fans,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I am contacting code enforcement. Why am I contacting code enforcement?
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Because this is a serious man-card violation. Man-card violation.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Seriously. Seriously.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Several of you sent me clips of Daniel Jones, who
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I've been very critical of. Very critical of Daniel Jones,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the Colts quarterback. Not a fan. And Daniel Jones had
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the ultimate snap, crackle, pop last year. His leg was,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: everything was torn in his leg. And was there a scream?
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: No.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Did he pump his arm in the air?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: No.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Did he have a towel over his head? No. He
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: just walked off the field. Like, you know, like a man.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: He just walked off the field. There was no drama-o-rama,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: none of that. And then you juxtapose that with Daniel
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Jones did, who was seriously injured for the Indianapolis Colts
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: last year. And then you look at this guy, this schmuck,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, who, my God, man code violation? Man code violation?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: That's grade A NFL embellishment for the Bears quarterback. And
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: think of this like, we go back, if you're old
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: enough to remember, there's a basketball player for the Celtics
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: named Paul Pierce. who, you know, it was very similar.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: It was like Paul Pierce 2.0 here, but the injury
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: theater with Paul Pierce, this is getting IMAX. Paul Pierce
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: was injury theater. He got rolled off in a wheelchair
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and it turns out he actually, had pooped his pants,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and he needed to change his white Celtic home shorts
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: because he had poopy in his pants. And so he
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: had to take a doo-doo, and so he acted like
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: he was dying. And even Paul Pierce, I believe, watched
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the clip of Caleb Williams and said, it's a little much, Caleb.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Lay it on a little too thick there. What are
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you doing? So if Williams can't play on Monday night,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the special agent Tyson Bajan will take over. He'll get
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to start against the Eagles. He did not play particularly
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: well for the Chicago Bears in limited duty there against
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the Vikings. Of course, Ben Johnson called him a darn
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: good football player, which tells you Ben Johnson will praise
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: literally anyone. All right, staying in the Windy City, page two.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: So a week into the season, the Bears put up
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: 59 points, God's gift to football, Ben Johnson, the Messiah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And now you look at it, one week later, you've
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: got this, whatever this thing is with Caleb Williams, obviously
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: embellishing the level of injury that he had based on
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: what Ben Johnson said. So Chicago was penalized 11 times
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in Sunday's game. There were eight accepted penalties. for 58 yards.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: They drew 12 penalties for 57 yards back in Week
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: 1 against Carolina. So the Bears have a discipline problem,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: it's fair to say. The size of a nice, thick
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Chicago deep dish pizza. Thick, sloppy, and impossible to ignore.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears' mistakes. And so the question, how much
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: of this sloppy Chicago football falls on the shoulders of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson? Boy Wonder. The new Boy Wonder coach there,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson. And I don't want to overreact. I don't
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: want to overreact. How about 100%? How about 100% the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bears who, as we say, they have a discipline
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: problem there. And right now, these players... are treating the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: rules of the game like junk mail. Don't even bother.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: You don't look at your junk email folder. You just
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: click delete. You don't look at it. And that's it.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: So as we like to say in these parts, you're
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: either coaching it or you're allowing it to happen. And
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: either way, you're cooked. Ben Johnson, the coach of the Bears,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: currently running a daycare center. It's called the Yellow Flag
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Daycare Center. And it's just great. Repeatedly committing. friendly fire
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: week after week. Now, two weeks into the NFL season
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and Ben Johnson's offense has more laundry, more laundry on
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the field than if you go into the housekeeping department
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: at your local Holiday Inn. There's more laundry from the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bears and all the mistakes they're making, at least
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: in the eyes of the officials. And the Bears, I mean,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: you look at it, they also should have a sponsorship deal.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: We mentioned Ben Johnson, his quarterback there, Caleb Williams. That
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: cart should have had a big sponsor logo on it. Well, also,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, they should be sponsored by Tide. They
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: do so much laundry work for the officials there with
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the penalties on the field. It's completely absurd. Completely assertive.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: And Ben Johnson inherited a football team, and somehow they're
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: like a flag manufacturing thing they've got going on there. Now,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: going forward for Da Bears, Ben Johnson clearly needs to
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: spend some time at practice with flashcards. And the flashcards
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: will say, don't do that, dummy. And that's it. All right,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: final point. We now move in the division. We go
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: from Chicago to Minnesota. Minnesota, nice. Where the little fella,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, has been cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: The good news is it was a little concussion. It
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: would be a big concussion, but he doesn't have a
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: big head. So Kyler Murray, a concussion. He's now been
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: cleared from the protocol. He is set to return as
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the Vikings starting quarterback in week number three against the Buccaneers.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: So that'll be the matchup there. Now, Kevin O'Connell, the
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: head coach there in Minnesota, confirming the decision, saying that
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Alligator Arms has completed the final phase. The final phase
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: was doing great and will start tomorrow. against the Tampa
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Bay football team, which looks terrible. Kyler Murray suffering a
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: concussion very early in that game against Green Bay back
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: in week one. He took a hit while attempting to slide,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and that was that. All right, so the question, how
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: excited should our friends, the Viking fans, really be with
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray back in the fold? So, Oxide. So I
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: would advise Eek in Roseville, Minnesota, and Al and all
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the boys there, even Holler and James, all my guys
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and a few of the gals. My advice.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Fasten your seatbelts. Now, why would you have to fasten
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: your seatbelts? Because Viking fans, please keep your hands also
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and feet inside the quarterback ride at all times. At
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: all times. We have seen enough to know exactly, exactly
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: what this is. We know what this is. The Kyler
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Murray experience is basically Magic Mountain on a holiday weekend.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? Long waits, sudden drops, and eventually
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: somebody gets very nauseous and vomits. Yes. And they also
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: get die, die, diarrhea. It happens. So let's be real here. Now,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I've been on a long time behind these microphones and
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the entire time Kyler Murray's been in the NFL. And
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I was never a fan of Kyler Murray, but the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: fascination with Kyler Murray is is based entirely on what
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: he can do rather than what he consistently does. And
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: it's the highlight, the TikTok-type quarterback. There's a few plays
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: where Kyler Murray looks really good, and he always looks
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: like it's a glitch because he's so tiny. It's like, hey,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: who let the kindergartner play in the NFL? Who allowed that?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: You can't allow that guy. He's too small. He could
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: get hurt. And he does get hurt. But they allow
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: him to play. I don't know how. It doesn't seem like.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: And Pop Warner, you have to be a certain height
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and a certain weight to play. I guess in the NFL,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: they don't have those rules. Like, Kyler Murray's too small
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: to play Pop Warner. He's allowed to play in the NFL. Anyway,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: you know what he is? He's cryptocurrency. That's what he is.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Could reach the moon. Could hit it big. Crypto. Could
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: completely crash out before halftime. You never know. And the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: thing that I'm also really amazed by, and I shouldn't
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: be amazed by this, but I am, is this toxic
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: relationship NFL backers have with Kyler Murray. It's that kind
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: of relationship. You know the one where your friends already
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: know exactly how the story's going to end and it's
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: not good. But you still insist, no, really? No, no. Listen,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: she's changed, dude. No, man, she's hot. You know, she's changed.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: She's hot. No, she hasn't. She's a nut job. And
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: she's going to kill you. Not literally kill you. Just
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: ruin your life. And you're like, no, no, but she's changed. No,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: it hasn't happened. It hasn't changed. So my advice to
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: my friends in Minnesota is to keep a couple of
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: jumbo-sized pink bottles of Pepto-Bismol. Right there, nearby, because you're
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: going to need them. You're going to need those pink bottles,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: jumbo-sized Pepto. It is the Ben Maler Show. If you'd
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: like to be part, we have a segment coming up
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: with our friend Billy from Hollywood, Florida. And this guy
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: could never keep a job because he had to show
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: up on time to work. And we figured when we
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: gave him an opportunity to have a weekly segment, he
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: would do it like twice and then he would never
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: show up. He has not. I don't think he's missed
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: one time. So he's here. So he's going to fix
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the world. Not sure how that's going to happen. He's
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: going to try to fix the world. And so if
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: you would like to ask him a question or send
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: a comment in on X hashtag, his stage name is
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: his weed man hippie. His name is Billy. His stage name.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: is Weed Man. I have to say that for the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Bible Belt. You don't have to say his real name
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: is Billy, but his stage name is Weed Man Hippie.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: So if you'd like to send a message, hashtag Weed
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Man Hippie, Weed Man Hippie, or hashtag Ask a Weed Man. See,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I already screwed it up.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: They can't even spell it. It doesn't matter.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: It's a good point. It's a very good point. Anyway,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: figure that out, and we'll have some of those. And
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: he loves Bozo, the district attorney. Boy, that makes him
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: very happy. He laughs every time we say Bozo's name.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: He really enjoys that. So we'll get to Ask a
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Weed Man. We'll take your calls as well. We'll get
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: to all of that, and we will do it next.

• 18:58
  Speaker 8: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
• 19:22

  Speaker 9: Continuity is very important. But what happens when you get
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize them,
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: then they want to hire them. And then you can't
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: stop a guy from trying to improve himself. but you
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: have to replace.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: Them Because once you understand what's going on inside the
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: own the team. I never owned a team.

  Speaker 6: Thank you, Ben. All right.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: We will. You know, I don't know. I was going
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: to read some of these crazy messages. Here's Chip in
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the Q's who says, A-plus on the monologue. So in
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: a nutshell, when you're talking about the 2026 Bears, you're
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: saying Chicago is playing their own version of flag football.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Pretty much.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: James says, how many games before Caleb Williams was injured again?
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I'll set the over-under at three. I'm going to set
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the over-under at three. That's what I'm going to do.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? Let's see. Page down. I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: can't read that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's bring him in right now. He lives
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: in Hollywood, Florida. He's used an Obama phone for many,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: many years, and his goal is to fix the world,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and he loves getting free food. We welcome in the man,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the myth, the legend, our friend, Billy. Weed Man Hippie.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Say hi again.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you. It's a fine emotion, love. It's wonderful.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Hey, so what is Chua doing? What happened to him
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: in Miami?
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: What?
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: What happened to Chua in Miami?
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins got rid of him. They paid $ 99 million
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: for him to go play for another team. Wow. You
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: would literally move Weedman for $ 99, wouldn't you? You would
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: relocate for $ 99.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, I would.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, you have an opening thought here, Weedman.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Any opening thought here?
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so on ABC News like two nights ago, there
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: were aliens. Did you see this? There were aliens from
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: outer space coming to Earth.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah?
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that. Why did I miss that? Are
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: they friendly? What kind of aliens are they?
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: There were like six of them. They're coming from somewhere
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: in outer space. I mean, we can't even get to Mars.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're coming from another galaxy or another universe,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: but they're here.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Do we know which species are they?
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I have no idea, but I love that. I love
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: that we have aliens coming to Earth.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Some would say they've already been here for a long time.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: The pyramids back in the day, they had alien visitors there.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Some of the drawings in Egypt, and they had spaceships.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I remember that. I saw that. I love that. I'd
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: love to see aliens.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Now, let's say, Weed Man, let's do a hypothetical. So
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: let's say the reptilians, they're the power brokers of the
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: alien community. Let's say the reptilians come down. All right.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And they say, hey, Weed Man, we'd like to bring
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you back as a peace offering. We'd like to bring
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you back to our planet.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Would you?
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: You would. You really would. You would get into an
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: alien spacecraft and you'd go with the reptilians back to
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: their their home planet. Interesting.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I hope they weren't reptilians. I hope they looked like people.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I would.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: Definitely.
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: He prefers the Nordic kind.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. The Nordics are the enlightened ones. The Nordics there.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: They are human-looking, the Nordics, and mostly peaceful. Now, the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: reptilians are supposedly about control. What about the greys?
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: No? Yeah, greys. I remember greys, too. I love the greys.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: But not reptiles. I wouldn't want to go with reptiles.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I'd like to point out to all the affiliates that
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: we've now crossed streams with Coast to Coast. George Norrie
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: is now breaking down the Minnesota Vikings secondary, and we
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: are now talking about insectoids, Nordics, reptilians, and the Grays
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: is what we're doing. Well, you want to answer some
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: questions here, Billy, Weed Man Hippie?
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: Hi, Weed Man.
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: There he is.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's see. What do we got here? Paige, Dan.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Hey, I want to thank Torito when he sent me
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: that food last week.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Where did he send you? Oh, he sent you.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I remember you told me. You told me where he
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: sent you.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Steak and baked potato. That was great.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: That was very nice of him. Fergdog writes in. He says,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: what kind of music are you into? Do you like
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: any of the new stuff, Weed Man, or do you
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: think it all sucks?

  Speaker 2: No, I'm a big rock and roll fan. Eagles, like that.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: And Tom Jones. Tom Jones, yeah.

• 26:30
  Speaker 1: No, but you're not listening to anybody new. Who's the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: newest artist you've listened to?
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: No, no, I don't listen to anything new.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: The only reason I do is because my wife has
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: it on, so I will have in the background, she'll
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: have music sometimes and I'll hear it.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: I bet she has good taste in music.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Weed Man, you told me that you have Cardi B
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: on repeat.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: You like Dua Lipa? You're a big Dua Lipa fan?
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: You're a fan of her work? You don't even know who?
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: I have no.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Idea who that is. You have no idea who Dua
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Lipa is?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Is she still popular? I don't know. She used to
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: be popular.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, she's still popular.
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: Okay.

  Speaker 1: It's got bad words in it.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Lorena's lazy.
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: He doesn't have bad words, per se.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: No, but we can't.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: Play music into the podcast, so it's just going to
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: be like.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, we get in trouble because we have to
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: pay it.
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: It's just going to be dead.
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: Air on there.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: That's their problem. They should tune in live.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: I'm just going to play it.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I think you're allowed like five bars.
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: You're allowed 15 seconds of music.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: We pay a lot of money to play 10 seconds
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: of music. What's he saying, Weed Man?
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: Oh, you're such a peach.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: All right, enough of that, please. No idea.

• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Okay. In Spanish. No, in German. All right.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: King Rory writes and says, when's the last time did
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Weed Man Hippie suffer a Charlie horse? Or did he
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: cry like a little baby when he had a Charlie horse?
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: When's the last time he had a Charlie horse, Weed Man?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: You know what that is?
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I can't even remember a Charlie.
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: Horse at all.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Okay. But you were out on the streets. You were
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: walking around a lot, right? You were out.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I never got hurt. Okay.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Fair enough. Al writes in, the alien opiner from
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the Commonwealth. He says, Billy, when is the last time
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: you slept? You've got to be joking.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I don't sleep. I never, ever sleep. It's unbelievable. I
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: never sleep. Not one second. I never fall asleep.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: That's impossible. I know. I know.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: You would think it's impossible. I think it's impossible. But, Ben,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I swear to God, I never, ever fall asleep, ever.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Is it possible then you're one of them? Maybe you're
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: an alien. Exactly. I was just going to say that.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I was going to say that, Lisa. I was going
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: to say, if you don't sleep, then you're an alien.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: I can't even argue with that. I wish I had
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: a spaceship. I wish I could get out of here.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: All right. We're fixing the world here. This is very important.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Our friend Billy Weedman. Hippie there.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Let's fix the world.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: This is going to fix the world here. Michael in
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Tulsa writes in. You ever been to Tulsa, Oklahoma?
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: No.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Do you know where Oklahoma is?
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Where is Oklahoma?
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: It's in the west. In the southwest.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Name some bordering states.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what famous state below Oklahoma?
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: Utah. Utah.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Am I wrong?
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: That's not right? Coop, what do you think? Who's better
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: at geography, Lorena or Weed Man Hippie?
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: We used to have this game, okay?
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: We're not playing it again. Yeah, we are.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Name a state that borders Oklahoma.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: What is a state below Oklahoma?
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Nebraska. Nebraska.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Nebraska's below Oklahoma.
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: The one that looks like a frying pan.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: What do you think is below Oklahoma?
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: Kentucky.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: This is so good. Is it Minnesota? Yes, it is.
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: Minnesota is below Oklahoma.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: New Mexico, am I right?
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: New Mexico is not close. Oh, this is great.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And it's not, you guys aren't, you're not, you're trying, right? No,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: we're not. We're not showing you. Now, technically, Weed Man's
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: not completely wrong, because I think a brief part of
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: New Mexico does border Oklahoma, but a very, very small part.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Weed Man.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: Ones? No.

  Speaker 3: pan or a sauteed pan.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: No, it looks like a butcher knife.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I was in the Midwest. I'm right about that.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: A meat cleaver. A meat cleaver. Yeah, it looks like
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a meat cleaver. Like if you're holding with your right
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: hand a meat cleaver and you were about to kill someone.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: It's this one, Lorena. What's below it?
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Come on.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: It's the big... Oh, my goodness.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: But it is in the Midwest. Come on.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: No, it's like this weird... Well, it's weird because Kansas
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: is in the Midwest, right? Yeah, it's the Midwest.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: But he said that... He didn't say the Midwest. He
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: said Southwest. Southwest.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Southwest starts in New Mexico, is that right?
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point. I didn't realize that it
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: does border New Mexico just a.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Tiny little bit. I'm right.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: I'm right.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: I'm right. None of you said Texas.
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Which is what's most known for is below Oklahoma's Texas.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: There's an Oklahoma-Texas rivalry in college football.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, okay, okay. Texas.
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: Texas.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: Texas.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I love after the fight. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Michael, in Tulsa.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: That was easy.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: We should do that again. Yeah, that went really well.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Late Night Drug Tester writes in, says, it is National
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Temperature Control Day. What is your thermostat set at, Weed Man?
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: What is your thermostat? 70.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: That's what we would set at right now is 70. Okay.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: That seems fair. I go as low as I can.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I have, like, a room air conditioner, so it doesn't
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: go that low, but I set it as low as
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I can set it. I like it cold. I want
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: it to be cold, Weed Man.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: You want it.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: To be in the 60s? Yeah, I'd go lower than
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: that if I could. No way.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: No way. You're not going to have it in the
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: 50s in your house?
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would. Analog Out writes in. He says, hey,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Weed Man, what is the best thing you ever found
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: in a dumpster? That's a great question.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I used to be by Raising Cane's when I was
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: on the street, and they used to have great food.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: They'd come out, and they'd... They give me great food
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: by raising canes. I love that.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't out of the dumpster. They just hand
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: it to you? Is that what they would do?
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I read somewhere that Bucky's throws away a lot of stuff,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: like really good stuff.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: I've seen Bath and Body Works dumpster dives. I'm a
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: big fan of those. Makes me want to do it myself.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: I've actually heard a lot of bad things about Bucky's lately.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know what Buc-ee's is. What's Buc-ee's?
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Your favorite gas stop.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: It's like a truck stop.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into the anti-Buc-ee's group. They're
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: big on beavers.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: They're very litigious.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't like that. What kind of food
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: is this?
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: This place is evil.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: They have great barbecue sandwiches.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: They serve beaver.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Pretty much, they put their logo on everything. Yeah, they
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: put their logo on everything. Broadway J writes in, he says,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: the most boring part of the Ben Maller show is
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: when Weed Man Hippie calls in.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Love. Oh, that's terrible.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: All right. That's from Broadway J. Bozo, the district attorney,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: writes in. He says, Weed Man, you said last week
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: you could go a whole year without weed if it
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: meant $ 10 million. But what's the longest you've ever gone
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: without smoking weed?
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, not very long. Never really very long. You know,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I told you, the store right down the block, I'd
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: buy weed all the time.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: No, I know, but when you were in jail, usually
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: you've been arrested a bunch, but you usually just go
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: for like a day or two, right, normally, and then
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: you're out? Is that normally how it goes?
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah. I mean, I haven't been there in
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: a long time. Hopefully I never go back. But yeah,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the longest time I've ever been without.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Was it when you were locked up?
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: There was that one time that when we were looking
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: for him, he was in there for a few weeks.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you were away for a while. Remember that one time?
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Weed Man? Remember that?
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember that. I remember.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's see here. What else do we have?
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Page down. I don't know. Some of these we've had before.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we want to repeat stuff from
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: previous episodes of the show. All right, Billy. Well, it's
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: been amazing yet again. Oh, here's Nada. Oh, here's one
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: from Nada. Remember, she was supposed to show up to Vegas,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: and then she didn't show up. We didn't get to
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: meet her in Vegas.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: Not a lot of Nada.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. Anyway, she says, what was
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Billy's dream car? What was your dream car, Billy? We've
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: had that before, but what's your dream car?
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, my dream car would be a Bentley. I'd love
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: a Bentley. That'd be great.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Nice Bentley, yeah. All right. Shouldn't you want, is it
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: an Aston Martin? How much is that? Like a million dollars?
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: That's my dream car, an Aston Martin.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: How much is it? Like a million dollars?
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: No, it depends on which model, but it's in like
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: the couple hundred thousand range.
• 35:54
  Speaker 10: I got you.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: $ 200, 000?
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: No more. A lot of the new cars are like $ 80, 000, $ 100, 000,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: like somewhat normal cars are like $ 80, 000.
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: $ 100, 000.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. All right, Wee Man, thank you. Appreciate it. Well,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I guess we'll talk to you at the end of
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the week. Yes, lame jokes.
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: I love you, Dad.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you. And bye, Lisa!
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Bye-bye, everyone.

• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick is his answer. Alf the Alien O'Piner says
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Ben Bishop. Die, die, diarrhea. The legend Mr. Irrigation from
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Houston says Madison Beer is the answer. Who else do

  Speaker 1: we have? Page down. Blind Scott. Former retired caller Blind

  Speaker 1: Rob on the 3-2-1. One of the Grays from Kathy

  Speaker 1: do you have an answer?
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: Lorena.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go with Stitch. Is it Stitch?
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: No.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: Oh, he's so cute, though.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: All right. By the way, DJ Smith said the answer
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: is the Padres because he's a Padre guy. It's also
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: not Danny DeVito, guessed by Neal and Fall River. The
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: correct answer, a legend, John Kitna. John, you remember John Kitna?
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: That means you're old if you remember John Kitna. Bengals, Lions, Cowboys, me,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: oh my! It's Maller. How about that?
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: To the third degree.
• 39:02
  Speaker 10: Are you ready?
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: This is when Big Ben gets grilled. And to the Koopaloop.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: Ben, historically, teams that have started a season 0-2 have
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: about an 11% chance of making the playoffs.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: That's not good, Coop. No, it is not.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: There are eight teams in the NFL that have started
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: off 0-2. Of those eight teams, do you think there
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: are any that you think could actually make the playoffs?
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: The two that I'm going to circle would be both
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: in the AFC Houston and Indianapolis because they're in the
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: AFC South. Location, location, location. Not that I think the
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Colts or the Texans are that good. And you could
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: argue Tampa Bay also because the southern part of the
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: NFL sucks. But I'm going to go, you asked me,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: so I'm going to go Texans and the Colts. One
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: of those two next.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Ben Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver called Tyler Shuck
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: poor man's Josh Allen.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: And Tyler Shuck actually liked that one. How do you
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: feel about that assessment?
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not quite there. Shuck's better than I thought he
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: was going to be. I thought he would be terrible.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Who's this guy? Aw, Shuck's. He doesn't look... Remember Brett... Well,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: you're younger than I, but when Brett Favre came around
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: and was like, why do you pronounce it like that?
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: And I look at Tyler Shuck and I'm like, that
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't look like it's supposed to sound.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: I have to remind myself every time.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: I'm the same way. But I'll give the guy credit.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: He played well in the fourth quarter. I'm actually going
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: to talk about him later on. He outplayed Lamar Jackson
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: down the stretch of that game. Too long drive for
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: the Saints. Too long drives. I'm not all in yet,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: but I'll tell you what, I like him more than
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Next, quick light.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Jr. had a donut this past weekend. Is
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: it safe to call him a bust already?
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes. However, I do believe that the Cardinals will
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: end up trading him at the end of the year
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: and somebody else will give him an opportunity because of
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: his name and the bloodlines and probably the Colts, but
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: he's been terrible. How do we do?
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: You pass this initiative.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: That is a win. Put it on the board.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Winner, winner, winner.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Chicken dinner.
