- 0:20Speaker 1: Coach Sean Payton claims he had no idea that his
- 0:25Speaker 1: Broncos had worked out Drew Brees before the AFC title game.
- 0:29Speaker 1: at the end of last season's playoffs. Is this possible?
- 0:34Speaker 1: And what was Sean Payton doing that was reminiscent of
- 0:38Speaker 1: a child? We'll talk about that and more. Also, do
- 0:43Speaker 1: you agree with the Cardinals, that's the football team, limiting
- 0:47Speaker 1: the workload for running back Jeremiah Love as he only
- 0:51Speaker 1: had 13 touches in the win over the Chargers? And
- 0:54Speaker 1: is there a lesson learned for the NFL having weaker
- 0:58Speaker 1: ratings with early season international matchups back-to-back years. We'll take
- 1:02Speaker 1: a look at that and more right now. Settle in
- 1:04Speaker 1: on a newbie night. It's our number two. mile-high problem,

- 3:01Speaker 1: We've had a great start. Our new friends in Connecticut
- 3:05Speaker 1: and in Anchorage, Alaska, and it's been good so far.
- 3:09Speaker 1: We'll see what's in store here in hour number two. Now,
- 3:11Speaker 1: we had a glitch in the Matrix. I think the
- 3:12Speaker 1: Gremlins attacked at the end of last hour, so that's
- 3:15Speaker 1: a bad job by us, and some of you did
- 3:17Speaker 1: not hear the answer. to the Who Am I game.
- 3:20Speaker 1: So Raiders running back Ashton Gentry joined Christian McCaffrey and
- 3:24Speaker 1: me as the only running backs in NFL history to
- 3:25Speaker 1: have multiple games with 100-plus rushing yards and 2-plus receiving touchdowns.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Now the answer to that question, the answer to that
- 3:33Speaker 1: question is none other than Philadelphia Eagle running back Brian Westbrook.
- 3:39Speaker 1: So that's the answer. So before Old Man River in
- 3:47Speaker 1: Florida emails me complaining, I got up because I can't
- 3:51Speaker 1: keep my urine in my body. And he sends me
- 3:53Speaker 1: the email. I had to go take a whiz at
- 3:56Speaker 1: three in the morning and I didn't hear the answer.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Just calm down. Calm down. So our lead this hour
- 4:03Speaker 1: is from Denver, fresh off the booty-smashing loss at Arrowhead
- 4:09Speaker 1: Stadium to Kansas City. Things are not going great in
- 4:15Speaker 1: the Mile High City. The worst loss ever to start
- 4:17Speaker 1: a season by a team that had won 14 games
- 4:19Speaker 1: or more the previous year. And now we have a follow-up,
- 4:23Speaker 1: follow-up to the report that multiple Bronco coaches contacted retired
- 4:32Speaker 1: quarterback Drew Brees prior to the AFC Championship game after
- 4:35Speaker 1: Bo Nix went snap, crackle, pop and was out with
- 4:39Speaker 1: a season-ending foot injury. So if you've not heard the
- 4:41Speaker 1: latest on this, it's getting juicy! It's getting juicy! So,
- 4:46Speaker 1: perhaps not. Coach Sean Payton, seemingly with a straight face,
- 4:50Speaker 1: claims that he knew nothing about the discussions. Nothing about
- 4:57Speaker 1: the discussions with the Broncos and Drew Brees until after
- 5:02Speaker 1: the fact. Let's go to the audio tape. Here is
- 5:04Speaker 1: the man himself. Here is the Broncos head coach, Sean Payton.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Take a listen.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Drew had reached out, I think, right after the championship,
- 5:12Speaker 2: or right after the playoffs, went against Buffalo. I think
- 5:17Speaker 2: he called Pete, probably texted Pete or Joe. Those guys, look,
- 5:23Speaker 2: none of it even came to my attention. So when
- 5:25Speaker 2: the story came up in Canton, I kept thinking they
- 5:30Speaker 2: were just, you know, talking about the COVID season and even,
- 5:34Speaker 2: even in the COVID season, when he and I discussed
- 5:36Speaker 2: possibly coming back for a Monday night game, you know,
- 5:40Speaker 2: he had trouble throwing it. So, um, I don't think
- 5:43Speaker 2: really anything really came of it. I think in Drew's mind,
- 5:47Speaker 2: you know, there's that competitor in him. Um, and so
- 5:53Speaker 2: I was kind of out of the loop and, uh,
- 5:56Speaker 2: I don't think it's, uh, Yeah, I don't think it's
- 5:59Speaker 2: a big story, but nonetheless, it's certainly one that, once
- 6:03Speaker 2: they described it to me, it just never got to
- 6:06Speaker 2: my level, I guess. He had reached out to Pete,
- 6:09Speaker 2: I think, and then Joe.
- 6:10Speaker 1: All right, so essentially, Sean Payton... He's like, yeah, I'm
- 6:15Speaker 1: the odd man out here, just like you guys, and
- 6:18Speaker 1: I didn't really know about it until after the fact.
- 6:20Speaker 1: He mentioned Joe Lombardi and Pete Carmichael are the two assistants.
- 6:25Speaker 1: You probably don't know who they are, but the name
- 6:27Speaker 1: Lombardi is kind of a big name, though. We all
- 6:30Speaker 1: agree on that? Yeah, it's a big name. Both of
- 6:32Speaker 1: them have been longtime, longtime pals of Drew Brees and
- 6:37Speaker 1: also with Sean Payton back in the days in New Orleans.
- 6:42Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
- 6:44Speaker 1: discuss the question. You've got Sean Payton claiming he did
- 6:49Speaker 1: not know he was out of the loop as the
- 6:51Speaker 1: head coach of the Denver Broncos that his guys reached out.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Of course, he made it seem like Drew Brees reached
- 6:58Speaker 1: out to his guys. And they worked out Drew Brees
- 7:02Speaker 1: prior to the AFC Championship game. Is this even possible?
- 7:06Speaker 1: Is it possible that Sean Payton was completely clueless about
- 7:12Speaker 1: his coaches working out Drew Brees? So I've got Parachute,
- 7:18Speaker 1: Piggly Wiggly. And missionaries. And we will combine all of
- 7:23Speaker 1: these things together, and we are going to give you
- 7:27Speaker 1: the gas right now. The gas is what we're going
- 7:29Speaker 1: to give you. All right, so number one. Number one.
- 7:32Speaker 1: So to answer the question, it's not believable, obviously. You'd
- 7:38Speaker 1: have to be a total rube to believe that Sean
- 7:40Speaker 1: Payton had no idea what was going on. When I
- 7:43Speaker 1: heard him talk, and we just played the long clip.
- 7:46Speaker 1: There's some other clips out there of Sean Payton. He
- 7:49Speaker 1: sounds like a picky eater. He was choosing his words
- 7:53Speaker 1: very carefully, almost like he was trying to cover something up. Now,
- 7:58Speaker 1: what would he be trying to cover up? I don't know.
- 8:01Speaker 3: Right.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Let's just follow the Pedridge Farms chocolate chip cookie crumbs
- 8:06Speaker 1: there and let's see where they lead. So reading the
- 8:09Speaker 1: coaching CYA handbook. The I didn't know, which is what
- 8:15Speaker 1: Sean Payton said multiple times, I didn't know, that is
- 8:19Speaker 1: a parachute. That is an emergency parachute. And that's it.
- 8:24Speaker 1: When you get put into a situation in a news conference,
- 8:27Speaker 1: a press conference, whatever, that's what you go to. Sean
- 8:30Speaker 1: Payton wants us to believe. His own offensive assistants, his...
- 8:37Speaker 1: They work under him. He's the head of the pyramid
- 8:41Speaker 1: and they're underneath him and all that stuff. And they
- 8:44Speaker 1: went out on their own and made contact or Breeze
- 8:48Speaker 1: contacted them and they said nothing and they kicked the
- 8:50Speaker 1: tires on Drew Breeze. and said, why not? What the hell?
- 8:55Speaker 1: And the quarterback coach and the offensive guys and all that,
- 9:00Speaker 1: they got together. And Peyton, Sean Peyton, who I think
- 9:03Speaker 1: they were together for like 15 years or something like that,
- 9:06Speaker 1: Sean Peyton and Drew Brees, and I'm sure they probably
- 9:08Speaker 1: text each other all the time, and they had no
- 9:11Speaker 1: conversation at all about that?
- 9:13Speaker 4: None?
- 9:15Speaker 1: Prior to the AFC Championship game?
- 9:17Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Nobody thought, maybe I should mention that to Sean Payton. No,
- 9:21Speaker 1: of course not. Why would Drew Brees do that? That
- 9:23Speaker 1: makes no sense. Come on, man. Come on, seriously. So
- 9:29Speaker 1: were they running, maybe they had like a rogue speakeasy
- 9:32Speaker 1: in the back of the storage room in Denver. And
- 9:35Speaker 1: then there was like a special, Drew Brees knew the password.
- 9:38Speaker 1: So we went in there and he worked out in
- 9:40Speaker 1: that speakeasy in the back of the storage room, which
- 9:43Speaker 1: is near the equipment room. And it's where the extra
- 9:46Speaker 1: stuff is in the very back there. So Breeze and
- 9:48Speaker 1: Peyton go back to the Bayou Glory days. Greatest Saints
- 9:54Speaker 1: team of all time that rose to the top of
- 9:56Speaker 1: the mountain with Reggie Bush and whatnot there in one
- 10:00Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and all that. So these guys go way, way, way, way, way,
- 10:04Speaker 1: way back. And, yeah, and Sean Payton, the last guy
- 10:09Speaker 1: to know in the Bronco facility. Yeah, the last guy.
- 10:13Speaker 1: How convenient is that? How convenient is that scenario? So
- 10:18Speaker 1: admitting knowledge, if Sean Payton says, oh, yeah, I knew
- 10:22Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, me and Drew talk all the time.
- 10:24Speaker 1: We text each other. We're buddies. We go way back.
- 10:26Speaker 1: We're friends for life. We won a Super Bowl. We
- 10:28Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl. We're friends for life. Admitting knowledge
- 10:32Speaker 1: would have opened up Pandora's box. You want to keep
- 10:36Speaker 1: Pandora's box closed at all costs because then questions start
- 10:40Speaker 1: getting asked, follow-up questions like, who authorized this? Did you
- 10:43Speaker 1: reach out to Drew? Did he reach out to you?
- 10:45Speaker 1: It seemed like there was a method to the madness
- 10:48Speaker 1: from Sean Payton, how he chose his words there to say, well,
- 10:51Speaker 1: we did nothing wrong. Drew Brees contacted us? He reached
- 10:56Speaker 1: out to us the way he said that. Now, did
- 11:00Speaker 1: Denver contact the Saints? Because there are whispers, and here's
- 11:04Speaker 1: what this is all about. There are whispers that the
- 11:06Speaker 1: Broncos violated the tampering rules of the NFL because Drew
- 11:11Speaker 1: Brees was on some Fugazi retirement list with the New
- 11:14Speaker 1: Orleans football team. Ergo, even though he hasn't played in years,
- 11:18Speaker 1: not allowed to talk to him because he's technically still
- 11:21Speaker 1: part of some list that the Saints have. And so
- 11:26Speaker 1: Peyton's saying, hey, I didn't know. It's like that old
- 11:29Speaker 1: Shaggy song, wasn't it? Wasn't it? So he's attempting to
- 11:34Speaker 1: close every door at one time, Sean Peyton. Now, unfortunately,
- 11:39Speaker 1: the explanation by Sean Peyton has more gaps than Michael
- 11:45Speaker 1: Strahan's old smile back in the day. Apparently his staff,
- 11:50Speaker 1: if you were to believe Coach Peyton, Then his staff
- 11:54Speaker 1: was conducting a Drew Brees seance. And Sean was on
- 11:59Speaker 1: a need-to-know basis. And he did not bother to talk
- 12:04Speaker 1: to his subordinates about that. And that's all you need
- 12:07Speaker 1: to know. Now, page two. To Arizona. To Phoenix, to
- 12:12Speaker 1: be exact. Now, the Cardinals are not a good football team,
- 12:14Speaker 1: and they proved that. with a decision that was reported
- 12:18Speaker 1: in the last couple of days here. They did beat
- 12:21Speaker 1: the Chargers. Now, we are told that Arizona plans to
- 12:25Speaker 1: be judicious about running up the mileage on rookie running
- 12:30Speaker 1: back Jeremiah Love. Now, this guy looked good. He didn't
- 12:33Speaker 1: play that much against the Chargers. I happened to be
- 12:35Speaker 1: at that game. He was zooming, zooming, zooming, zooming around
- 12:39Speaker 1: the field there. And supposedly week number one, where the
- 12:44Speaker 1: Cardinals pull the upset there, is said to be a, quote,
- 12:47Speaker 1: good window into how they'll manage Jeremiah Love's rookie year. Okay. Now,
- 12:56Speaker 1: James Conner, who's been hurt, supposedly will be part of
- 13:01Speaker 1: the group to lighten the workload when he does come back. Love,
- 13:06Speaker 1: by the way, had all of 13 touches hurt. 13
- 13:10Speaker 1: touches in week one of the NFL season. So the question,
- 13:15Speaker 1: do you agree with the Cardinals' apparent decision to limit
- 13:20Speaker 1: the workload for rookie running back Jeremiah Love? So this
- 13:25Speaker 1: is ridiculous on many levels here. You drafted, you suck
- 13:29Speaker 1: to draft good players. All you idiots that love the draft...
- 13:33Speaker 1: The whole point of it is, in theory, you're rewarding
- 13:37Speaker 1: bad play by giving the worst teams good players. So
- 13:41Speaker 1: if you then get the good players, shouldn't you, I
- 13:45Speaker 1: don't know, play them? Otherwise, what's the point? What's the point?
- 13:51Speaker 1: So you drafted Jeremiah Love, third overall, and then out
- 13:55Speaker 1: of what? An abundance of caution? You've decided that you're
- 13:58Speaker 1: not a football team, you're a NASCAR team, and you
- 14:01Speaker 1: put the restrictor plates on. The one guy people actually
- 14:04Speaker 1: would buy tickets to watch play football? Well, that makes sense.
- 14:10Speaker 1: That's smart. Why not? 13 touches. That's a haunted number. 13.
- 14:18Speaker 1: You could have found that kind of workload behind a
- 14:22Speaker 1: Piggly Wiggly. What are you doing? You put a governor
- 14:30Speaker 1: on a rocket ship, and it made me want to
- 14:34Speaker 1: puke in my mouth when I saw this. I hope
- 14:36Speaker 1: this is wrong. I hope this is one of those
- 14:37Speaker 1: things that's just bull crap and not true. I'd like
- 14:40Speaker 1: to think that that's not the case. Running backs, and
- 14:44Speaker 1: you can correct me if I'm wrong. I know it's
- 14:45Speaker 1: a newbie night and all that. You can correct me
- 14:47Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, but running backs have very short windows
- 14:50Speaker 1: of prime dominance. Is that a fair statement, or is
- 14:53Speaker 1: that an incorrect statement? I believe that's a fair statement.
- 14:56Speaker 1: So they have very short windows of success, which I believe,
- 15:01Speaker 1: and I might be wrong on this, but I believe
- 15:03Speaker 1: is an argument to maximize their time on the field.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Not to bubble wrap them. When I was growing up,
- 15:12Speaker 1: my babushkas, they had these really nice sofas, and us
- 15:15Speaker 1: kids couldn't go on the sofas, even though they were
- 15:19Speaker 1: covered in plastic. And it was the dumbest, even as
- 15:22Speaker 1: a kid, I said, this is so stupid. What's the
- 15:25Speaker 1: point of buying a nice sofa and going to wrap
- 15:27Speaker 1: it in plastic? And I say the same thing about
- 15:30Speaker 1: my running back here, Jeremiah Love.
- 15:32Speaker 5: What are you doing?
- 15:34Speaker 1: Seriously. They're going to go with a running back by committee.
- 15:38Speaker 1: If this report is accurate in Arizona, please, please stop.
- 15:43Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how much you practice load management. When
- 15:47Speaker 1: you reach a certain age as a running back, it
- 15:49Speaker 1: doesn't matter how many miles you have on the odometer.
- 15:52Speaker 1: You are given the stamp of cooties as a running back,
- 15:56Speaker 1: no matter what. It doesn't matter. So what are the
- 15:59Speaker 1: Cardinals saving Jeremiah Love for? Are they planning for a
- 16:02Speaker 1: big playoff run in 2034? Is that what they're looking at?
- 16:06Speaker 1: Trying to save him? What's the point? Why would you
- 16:10Speaker 1: waste the pick? You can go get a guy from
- 16:12Speaker 1: the Montreal Alouettes and he can touch the ball 13 times.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Or my favorite team in the CFL, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Come on now. Meanwhile, final point to TV land. TV
- 16:24Speaker 1: land we go. NFL report card time from down under.
- 16:28Speaker 1: And it was not the Thunder down under. No, it
- 16:32Speaker 1: was not. So the ratings came out recently, and the
- 16:36Speaker 1: NFL second game of the season, second city from Melbourne, Australia,
- 16:44Speaker 1: and the 49er Ram game in Melbourne averaged 18.5 million U.S.
- 16:48Speaker 1: viewers on Netflix. That is under the expectation for the audience.
- 16:53Speaker 1: That was not something the NFL is bragging about the
- 16:56Speaker 1: number of people that watched the game on Netflix. Netflix,
- 17:01Speaker 1: not good from what we understand. That's pretty much equal
- 17:06Speaker 1: to last year. Remember they played that game in Brazil
- 17:09Speaker 1: between the Chiefs and the Chargers? And that was actually
- 17:13Speaker 1: on YouTube, which was completely free to watch that game.
- 17:17Speaker 1: This was on Netflix, which you had to pay. It
- 17:19Speaker 1: was pay to play. although it was on local TV
- 17:23Speaker 1: in L.A. and San Francisco. Nonetheless, the translation is now
- 17:27Speaker 1: back-to-back and belly-to-belly softer ratings for the NFL's early season
- 17:33Speaker 1: international experiments, because that's really what this is, an experiment.
- 17:39Speaker 1: All right, so the question, is there a lesson? Is
- 17:42Speaker 1: there a lesson in all of this? For the NFL
- 17:46Speaker 1: having weaker ratings with early season international matchups. So, yes,
- 17:51Speaker 1: this is a teachable moment. And I'd like you to
- 17:54Speaker 1: step into the classroom here. It's a teachable moment. The
- 17:56Speaker 1: NFL found the goose that laid the golden egg. And
- 18:01Speaker 1: now they're trying to teach the goose to speak Australian
- 18:05Speaker 1: and other languages around the world. This year it was Australian.
- 18:08Speaker 1: And that's it. And it's like, hey, dumb, dumb. Hey, dumb,
- 18:12Speaker 1: dumb at the NFL. Don't mess with the recipe. Do
- 18:16Speaker 1: not touch the recipe. Whatever you do, do not touch
- 18:19Speaker 1: the recipe. The recipe. People like the food. They enjoy
- 18:22Speaker 1: the food. You have the Colonel's blend of 11 herbs
- 18:27Speaker 1: and spices right there. And you don't dump in some Vegemite.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Into that recipe. You don't do it. Don't put Vegemite
- 18:38Speaker 1: in my recipe. What are you doing? You tossed it
- 18:41Speaker 1: right into the bucket. Bad job by you. So the
- 18:44Speaker 1: NFL is of the mindset that these players are not
- 18:48Speaker 1: just football players. They can have the role as a
- 18:51Speaker 1: football missionary and the evangelizing of pigskin around the world,
- 18:58Speaker 1: around the planet. going to some isolated villages. You know
- 19:02Speaker 1: that there's an island, I forget where it is, but
- 19:04Speaker 1: there's an island where it hasn't been touched by modern society.
- 19:08Speaker 1: They still use like bows and arrows and stuff like that.
- 19:11Speaker 1: They don't know anything that is modern. And like the NFL,
- 19:15Speaker 1: in their head, they would go build a stadium there
- 19:17Speaker 1: and give those native people a chance of watching NFL football. Well,
- 19:22Speaker 1: they don't want to watch NFL football. They're living their
- 19:25Speaker 1: life just fine. That's it. No, no, no. We need
- 19:29Speaker 1: to go there and teach them to cover, too. Very important.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Very important. The NFL needs to stop congratulating itself for
- 19:39Speaker 1: putting football in exotic locations. And you don't have to
- 19:43Speaker 1: do this. I know why you're doing it. It's because
- 19:47Speaker 1: of greed and all that. And the NFL's got this.
- 19:50Speaker 1: football everywhere anytime slogan, which sounds really good in one
- 19:57Speaker 1: of those big boardrooms on Madison Avenue. Oh, yeah, our
- 20:00Speaker 1: slogan is football everywhere anytime. Of course, in reality... People
- 20:05Speaker 1: are creatures of habit. The NFL played a game on
- 20:08Speaker 1: Wednesday this year. The year before, they played on Friday.
- 20:11Speaker 1: And it's just overextending yourself. There is a limit. They've
- 20:17Speaker 1: achieved the impossible, the NFL, by making people now have
- 20:22Speaker 1: to work to watch the games. It was always the
- 20:24Speaker 1: easiest product to get. And if you've ever taken a
- 20:27Speaker 1: business class, the more steps that someone has to do
- 20:31Speaker 1: to get your product, the harder it's going to be
- 20:33Speaker 1: to sell your product. It's just that's it. And as
- 20:36Speaker 1: we talk often about doing broadcasting here, not narrow casting
- 20:39Speaker 1: because we're on, you can find the show and stumble
- 20:42Speaker 1: into the show. Like our friend in Connecticut who just
- 20:44Speaker 1: stumbled in to the show because somebody gave him an
- 20:47Speaker 1: old dusty transistor radio and he just happened to find
- 20:52Speaker 1: the program. But people, if they have to work for something,
- 20:56Speaker 1: most people are not going to be that motivated. And
- 21:00Speaker 1: you just you're offending your loyal audience. And that's a
- 21:04Speaker 1: bad job by you. It's like they're lab rats in
- 21:06Speaker 1: some kind of media distribution experiment. And listen, I can
- 21:11Speaker 1: get all the games. I'm getting old, but I'm not
- 21:14Speaker 1: that old yet. But my guys like Dick and Dayton
- 21:17Speaker 1: and our buddy John in Anchorage, Alaska, these guys, I
- 21:21Speaker 1: can't find the game. What are you talking about?
- 21:23Speaker 5: No.
- 21:24Speaker 1: So stop making the customer hunt around to try to
- 21:27Speaker 1: find games. The game, because they're just going to either
- 21:30Speaker 1: not watch the game or just go watch some Russian
- 21:33Speaker 1: website or North Korean website and watch the game now.
- 21:35Speaker 1: It's an illegal stream. It is the Ben Maller Show.
- 21:39Speaker 1: If you would like to be part of the program,
- 21:42Speaker 1: 877-99 on Fox. It is a newbie night. Hooray for
- 21:45Speaker 1: newbie night. It's all new callers. I don't know why
- 21:48Speaker 1: I hit the table. I hit the table. I don't
- 21:49Speaker 1: know why. You're going to hurt your hand. I don't
- 21:51Speaker 1: need to do it. Well, it could affect my baseball career.
- 21:53Speaker 1: The Dodgers are going to bring me in to replace
- 21:55Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz in the playoffs. Brilliant idea. I haven't talked
- 21:58Speaker 1: about that. They call me Benny the Bopper. I can
- 22:01Speaker 1: also pitch, though. I'm also able to pitch. 877-99 on
- 22:06Speaker 1: Fox is the number. 877-996-6369. And time now for the
- 22:14Speaker 1: always popular, always popular. So the Super Bowl is in L.A.
- 22:17Speaker 1: in early 2027. It's on Valentine's Day. And it has
- 22:21Speaker 1: now been leaked. who is likely to be on stage
- 22:25Speaker 1: that halftime. Now I don't really care much about the
- 22:27Speaker 1: halftime stuff because I'm usually getting some food or whatever. And,
- 22:31Speaker 1: I'll talk about it if something crazy happens, you know,
- 22:33Speaker 1: some offensive bull crap happens. I'll talk about that because
- 22:35Speaker 1: it's Good Talk Radio. But the thinning of the herd
- 22:40Speaker 1: and who's in line? Who's in line for the big
- 22:42Speaker 1: stage there in L.A., in the hood, in Inglewood, Super
- 22:47Speaker 1: Bowl halftime? We'll get to that. Also later this hour, Mallory,
- 22:49Speaker 1: third degree. We'll get to all of it and we
- 22:52Speaker 1: will do it.

- 24:08Speaker 1: usually hangs out outside Sofa Stadium selling stuff. I didn't

- 25:13Speaker 1: let's go right to the phones on a newbie night.
- 25:16Speaker 1: And we'll say hello to Eileen in San Francisco. Now,
- 25:20Speaker 1: I wonder if this is the same Eileen that was
- 25:22Speaker 1: very active on the X machine. Hello, Eileen.
- 25:25Speaker 4: Welcome.
- 25:26Speaker 3: Hello, Maller. This is Eileen in San Francisco, who was
- 25:31Speaker 3: active until I lost my account, and then my new
- 25:37Speaker 3: one is invisible.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Oh, I wondered what happened. I was like, I didn't
- 25:41Speaker 1: hear from you for a while. I thought maybe you
- 25:43Speaker 1: just went back to the day shift or something like that,
- 25:45Speaker 1: or you're sleeping. I didn't know what happened. So you
- 25:48Speaker 1: got kicked off of the X machine? Is that what happened?
- 25:52Speaker 3: It's complicated.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Were you a firebrand? Were you a troublemaker? Is that
- 25:58Speaker 1: what you were?
- 25:59Speaker 3: No, not at all. And my new account is invisible.
- 26:05Speaker 1: All right, well, then here's what you do. You just
- 26:07Speaker 1: delete that account and start a new account that will
- 26:09Speaker 1: be visible.
- 26:10Speaker 5: There you go.
- 26:12Speaker 3: No, I miss the militia and I miss Lorena and
- 26:17Speaker 3: Coop and you. I love the show and I love
- 26:21Speaker 3: the podcast, so I'm still listening.
- 26:23Speaker 4: Oh, well, good.
- 26:24Speaker 1: Well, we got to figure this out here. There's got
- 26:26Speaker 1: to be a way we can get you back to
- 26:27Speaker 1: it because you were very active. You were sending a
- 26:29Speaker 1: lot of stuff in during the show. You were right.
- 26:32Speaker 1: You were on level with Ferg Dog and Mal or
- 26:36Speaker 1: Prop Guy.
- 26:37Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Thanks. That's next level. Got to stay in. Yeah, we
- 26:41Speaker 1: got to get you in. So is there something we
- 26:43Speaker 1: can do? Can we help you out, Eileen?
- 26:45Speaker 7: I don't think so, man.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Okay.
- 26:49Speaker 1: Complicated.
- 26:50Speaker 3: X doesn't like me, so.
- 26:52Speaker 7: Okay.
- 26:53Speaker 1: I got you. Well, thanks for listening to the podcast
- 26:55Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and hopefully there's a way we
- 26:58Speaker 1: can get you to send stuff in that maybe we'll
- 27:00Speaker 1: find some other way you can email or something like that. Okay?
- 27:04Speaker 3: I think I just have to wait it out. I've
- 27:07Speaker 3: been researching how to.
- 27:11Speaker 3: Be visible, but it's not working. So anyway, I still
- 27:16Speaker 3: love the show. And my question is, what do you
- 27:22Speaker 3: think of the 49ers defense this year?
- 27:25Speaker 1: Well, they look great against the Rams, but how much
- 27:27Speaker 1: of that was the Rams sleeping during the game?
- 27:30Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 27:30Speaker 1: We'll find out. I think that the 49ers will be
- 27:32Speaker 1: fine until guys start getting hurt, which happens every year, Eileen,
- 27:35Speaker 1: as you know, because of that electrical substation. That's the problem.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Those guys can't stay healthy. The Niners are as good
- 27:42Speaker 1: as anybody in the NFC when they're fully healthy, but
- 27:46Speaker 1: no one stays healthy. It's just a battle of attrition
- 27:50Speaker 1: and all that. I thank you for listening, Eileen. I
- 27:53Speaker 1: appreciate it. We'll try to figure that out. Let us know.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Send me a message. I'll see if I can help
- 27:57Speaker 1: you out, all right?
- 27:58Speaker 4: Thanks, Mel. All right.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Thank you. There's our friend Eileen there. In the Bay Area.
- 28:03Speaker 1: She's great. Let's say hello to Justin in Toronto. It
- 28:08Speaker 1: is a newbie night. Hooray for newbie night. Hello, Justin.
- 28:14Speaker 7: Hello, Ben Maller. Thank you for taking my call. It's
- 28:18Speaker 7: exciting to be on the show. You guys are doing
- 28:20Speaker 7: a great job. I wanted to send you, Coop, and
- 28:23Speaker 7: Daddy Lorena a proper truck driver salute. So here you go.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Nice. That's a big masculine horn. That was beautiful. I
- 28:32Speaker 1: could feel the testosterone when you hit that horn. That's outstanding.
- 28:36Speaker 7: Yeah, we're on the road tonight. We're just filling up
- 28:39Speaker 7: the store. Oh, nice.
- 28:41Speaker 1: All right, now I got a question for you. So
- 28:43Speaker 1: what's the most loony dogs you've eaten at a Blue
- 28:46Speaker 1: Jay game?
- 28:47Speaker 6: A Blue Jay game.
- 28:48Speaker 7: I'd have to say two. I'm not a big hot
- 28:51Speaker 7: dog eater. Yeah, those things kind of scare me, to
- 28:53Speaker 7: be honest. And if they're going for a buck, usually
- 28:59Speaker 7: I'm one of those people that know you get value
- 29:02Speaker 7: for your money. So I kind of stray away from that, but...
- 29:06Speaker 7: I've heard of people doing nine and nine innings up
- 29:08Speaker 7: here before.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Well, didn't they sell like 100,000 of them or something
- 29:12Speaker 1: like that at some game?
- 29:13Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 29:13Speaker 1: It's crazy.
- 29:14Speaker 7: They push a lot of hot dogs on Tuesday nights. Yeah, definitely.
- 29:19Speaker 7: My son's eaten a few before with his buddies. I
- 29:21Speaker 7: think he got up to around five. But, again, you'll
- 29:25Speaker 7: be feeling that the next day.
- 29:26Speaker 1: Well, absolutely. At some point, we're going to try to
- 29:29Speaker 1: get to Toronto there. That's the goal. Our buddy Nico,
- 29:32Speaker 1: the man, the myth, the legend there, he's in Vancouver,
- 29:35Speaker 1: but he's been chatting about maybe going over to Toronto.
- 29:38Speaker 1: So if we do show up there, you're going to
- 29:39Speaker 1: have to... have to come out and hang out with
- 29:41Speaker 1: us if we end up in Toronto.
- 29:42Speaker 7: Is that where the falls are? In Niagara. It's about
- 29:47Speaker 7: an hour south of Toronto. You know I'm really good
- 29:49Speaker 7: with geography.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a few hours north of where the
- 29:54Speaker 1: Bills play in Buffalo. Niagara Falls is right in that area,
- 29:57Speaker 1: but Toronto is just up the road a little bit.
- 29:59Speaker 1: All right. Very cool. Thays, what are you delivering? Food?
- 30:02Speaker 1: Is that what you got in your truck or products
- 30:05Speaker 1: or anything?
- 30:06Speaker 7: Actually, I can't mention that, but I will let you
- 30:08Speaker 7: know that I am a very big part of the
- 30:11Speaker 7: sports scene, and if you did know what I was
- 30:13Speaker 7: traveling with, I'd probably be your best friend.
- 30:15Speaker 1: It's hot dogs. No, it's not hot dogs. Chicken strips?
- 30:17Speaker 7: No, it's not even something much. Much better than hot dogs, Lorena.
- 30:21Speaker 1: All right. Well, be safe out there on the roads
- 30:24Speaker 1: around Toronto, and thank you for listening, Justin. I appreciate that.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Look at that. It's amazing. All right, buddy.
- 30:29Speaker 7: Thank you, sir.
- 30:30Speaker 1: A great Justin in Toronto. Now, I did learn a
- 30:34Speaker 1: while back. I did this bit when I first started
- 30:39Speaker 1: years ago, and I was like, all right, so where.
- 30:40Speaker 4: Are you going?
- 30:41Speaker 1: What are you hauling? Classic, cheesy radio bit of all
- 30:44Speaker 1: the truck drivers. And I determined, based on a few
- 30:52Speaker 1: days of doing that, that most of the guys that
- 30:54Speaker 1: are driving trucks have no idea what's in the back
- 30:56Speaker 1: of the truck. And the reason they have no idea
- 30:58Speaker 1: what's in the back of the truck is oftentimes because
- 31:00Speaker 1: the people that are paying for them to drive the
- 31:03Speaker 1: stuff around don't want the stuff stolen. So they're worried
- 31:06Speaker 1: if they knew how valuable the things were in the
- 31:08Speaker 1: back of the truck, they might be stolen. Oh, that
- 31:10Speaker 1: makes sense. So they don't want to announce that. Let's
- 31:13Speaker 1: say hello to Will from... who's hanging out in beautiful St. Augustine.
- 31:19Speaker 1: What's going on, Will? Welcome on a newbie night.
- 31:24Speaker 6: Ben, thanks, man. You ruined my life about 15 years
- 31:28Speaker 6: ago when I started listening to you, but in a
- 31:33Speaker 6: great way, man. I was delivering newspapers in Amelia Island,
- 31:37Speaker 6: and it was fabulous because you're the only show that
- 31:41Speaker 6: I could listen to that actually kept me going.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Oh, well, thank you. Appreciate that.
- 31:47Speaker 6: No, no, I mean that for real. The ruin was
- 31:50Speaker 6: a joke.
- 31:51Speaker 4: Not a good joke.
- 31:53Speaker 6: I woke up this morning and opened a beer. I'm
- 31:56Speaker 6: on the East Coast just to talk to you.
- 31:59Speaker 1: No, I'm playing.
- 32:00Speaker 6: And what I was going to say is I've been
- 32:02Speaker 6: there from beer drinking Brian to Jeannie from Medford. Even
- 32:07Speaker 6: JT and Looney, you know, back in the day, and
- 32:10Speaker 6: Danny G, and I just wanted to say, man, I
- 32:13Speaker 6: appreciate you being a part of my life. And I
- 32:16Speaker 6: keep my phone under my bed even when I'm sleeping,
- 32:19Speaker 6: and I still do the newspaper hours just to listen
- 32:24Speaker 6: to you. So I go in and out of sleep.
- 32:27Speaker 6: just like a boy from Minnesota, you know, and just
- 32:30Speaker 6: to hear you.
- 32:30Speaker 1: Well, thank you.
- 32:31Speaker 6: I just wanted to let you know that.
- 32:32Speaker 1: I appreciate that. And can we play a game? I
- 32:34Speaker 1: want to do a round robin game. Let's try to guess.
- 32:37Speaker 6: Go ahead.
- 32:37Speaker 1: All right, let's try to guess what kind of beer
- 32:40Speaker 1: is my friend Will drinking. Okay, I lied about the beer.
- 32:45Speaker 6: It's alcohol, but it's not beer.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Okay, it's alcohol, not beer. Okay, so we eliminate all beer,
- 32:50Speaker 1: and let's go alcohol.
- 32:50Speaker 6: It is in a can, so we'll go with the can.
- 32:55Speaker 1: It's not like liquor. Oh, so it's not. It's liquor. Wait,
- 32:59Speaker 1: is it beer or liquor? What is it?
- 33:01Speaker 6: No, no, it's not beer or liquor. It's in a can.
- 33:04Speaker 1: It's a White Claw.
- 33:05Speaker 3: It should be easy.
- 33:06Speaker 1: Yeah, White Claw. I agree with Lorena.
- 33:07Speaker 6: Lorena's going to be able to guess it.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Well, no, I agree. She just said it. It's a
- 33:11Speaker 1: White Claw. White Claw, right?
- 33:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 33:13Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, well, that was it. It's like the worst
- 33:15Speaker 1: round robin game ever. This is the worst round robin
- 33:17Speaker 1: game ever.
- 33:18Speaker 6: I wasn't trying to screw it up, man.
- 33:21Speaker 4: No, I know.
- 33:21Speaker 6: But I also want to say one thing that's the
- 33:23Speaker 6: most important thing. I got my entire Facebook deleted because
- 33:29Speaker 6: I was selling T-shirts that said, we are Redskins. Because
- 33:32Speaker 6: I was trying to support the Redskins.
- 33:34Speaker 1: Oh, you did? The NFL does not like that.
- 33:37Speaker 6: No, it was Facebook that deleted me.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Yeah, but I bet you the NFL, they keep track
- 33:43Speaker 1: of that stuff. I bet you the NFL probably did something.
- 33:46Speaker 6: They said it was hate speech. Is that hate speech?
- 33:50Speaker 1: No, I don't believe it is. How many years ago
- 33:53Speaker 1: was that, though? A few years ago.
- 33:55Speaker 6: It was at the beginning of COVID.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Back then, yeah. You should have been killed. Absolutely, yes.
- 34:02Speaker 3: All right.
- 34:03Speaker 1: You're a survivor. Thank you, Will. Enjoy your White Claw.
- 34:07Speaker 1: There you go, Will. That's like old school, man. Listening
- 34:10Speaker 1: to the phone under the pillow. It sounds like you're
- 34:14Speaker 1: his sleep app. Hey, I'll take it. Yeah, that's good.
- 34:17Speaker 1: I get credit for it. Anyone that listens to that
- 34:21Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio channel, On the iHeart app, they keep
- 34:25Speaker 1: track of all that stuff. There's a lot of nerds.
- 34:28Speaker 1: We got some really good, powerful nerds with big degrees
- 34:31Speaker 1: that keep track of all that stuff. And how long
- 34:34Speaker 1: you listen, when you listen, who else you listen to,
- 34:38Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, they are tracking everything. So the Super Bowl,
- 34:43Speaker 1: real quick. Super Bowl is in L.A. in February. And
- 34:50Speaker 1: it is believed we now know that the two finalists
- 34:53Speaker 1: to be the halftime act, this is according to TMZ,
- 34:57Speaker 1: are the, they're both Rock Nation, shortlist Rock Nation.
- 35:02Speaker 6: Of course.
- 35:03Speaker 1: SoFi Stadium, February 14th, Valentine's Day. Do you see this?
- 35:09Speaker 5: No, I don't know.
- 35:09Speaker 8: All right.
- 35:10Speaker 1: I hope it's Miley Cyrus. No.
- 35:12Speaker 3: No.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Turn it. They're both dudes. Last I checked, I don't
- 35:16Speaker 1: know anymore. You've got Harry Styles and the Biebs, Justin Bieber.
- 35:23Speaker 8: Really?
- 35:23Speaker 1: Justin Bieber? Oh, boy. That's interesting. He doesn't really do much. Now,
- 35:27Speaker 1: I'm going with Biebs. You don't know this, Lorena, but
- 35:29Speaker 1: me and Biebs had a past many years ago. We
- 35:32Speaker 1: had a moment together at what used to be called
- 35:34Speaker 1: Staples Center. So I'm hoping it's the Biebs. Although he
- 35:38Speaker 1: really hasn't done much in a while, right? I'm not
- 35:40Speaker 1: a music guy. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The last
- 35:41Speaker 1: time he performed, he did it, I believe, Coachella or
- 35:44Speaker 1: one of those outdoor music events, and he just played
- 35:46Speaker 1: from his laptop. He just played music from his laptop.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Didn't he perform also at the World Cup? Didn't Biebs
- 35:51Speaker 1: do something in the World Cup? I feel like he
- 35:52Speaker 1: was part of something at the World Cup finale in
- 35:55Speaker 1: New Jersey.
- 35:56Speaker 8: No?
- 35:56Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I remember seeing... Is he
- 35:59Speaker 1: part of the big group of... I don't think he was.
- 36:02Speaker 1: I'll double check. I'm surprised they didn't bring Bad Bunny back.
- 36:04Speaker 1: I'm shocked by that. He already did his thing.
- 36:09Speaker 4: All right.
- 36:09Speaker 1: It is the best. Good luck to whoever. I won't
- 36:12Speaker 1: be watching, but good luck. Quickly. I hope it's wonderful.
- 36:15Speaker 1: I'm sure it will be. All right. It's Ben Maler's show.
- 36:17Speaker 1: Time now for the Insta Trivia. We've got Maler, the
