• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the GM's draft pick, stockpile when the team is going

  Speaker 1: to stink? for the foreseeable future in Philadelphia. Also, buy
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: or sell the Cowboys secretly shopping George Pickens in this
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: being the trade deadline prior to the deadline, obviously. Some
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: conflicting reports on whether George Pickens is available. We'll talk

  Speaker 1: our friend Jerry in Rhode Island, Jerry reached out and

  Speaker 1: she said, hey, what about the Kings? I said, DraftKings, yes.

• 3:10
  Speaker 1: It's my last name. At DraftKings, the crown is yours.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: So we had football. Not a good game, but we
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: had football last night. The Buffalo Bills polaxed the Minnesota
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Vikings in what should be the final NFL game for
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I like football.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: That is a fireable offense, Anthony, in Louisiana. Carson Wentz
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: had a passer rating below 10. Below 10. That's a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: professional quarterback, a passer rating below 10 against a defense,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo defense, which was 24th in the NFL. Who goofed?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I've got to know. So, there you go. Buffalo wins 23-6.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: They were favored. The Bills now off to the best
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: start they've been off to since Jim Kelly was the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: quarterback back in the early 90s. But that is not
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: our story. No, no, no, no, no, no. Our lead
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: this hour from the Ville in Jacksonville. Why are you
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: talking about them? Well, they made some headlines. Multiple trades...
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: In fact, not just two, three trades in Duval County.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: If you have not been keeping track, today is the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: trade deadline. Whee! The trade deadline in the NFL. So
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: this afternoon, there will be a flurry of trades of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: people you've never heard of for seventh round picks and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: money and this. Everything will be moved around, but it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of players you've never heard of. Now, there's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a couple players that were moved that we have heard of.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: And if you haven't been keeping track, the Jacksonville football team,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: or should I say the London football team, the Jaguars
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: have acquired the massive defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the E-A-G-L-E-S, tank, tank, tank,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the Eagles. Defensive tackle Jordan Davis for a first and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: second round pick. So that trade went down. That completed
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a defensive shopping spree. I'm an addiction to shopping. Well,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: not me, but the Jacksonville football team does. They also
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: landed safety Jesse Bates III, which sounds like a villain
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: in a movie from the Falcons. He's been around for
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a while. And also Devon Godshaw, defensive player from the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints, who I think played for the Patriots.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I believe he was with the Patriots at one point,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: but who knows? These guys bounce around all over. So Jacksonville...
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: In one day, sacrifice not one, not two, not three,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: not four, not five, six future draft picks to get
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: three brand spanking new defensive players. So this is the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: talk of the NFL right now. I'm sure they will
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: be trumped today by somebody else. There'll be some other
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: big names that are traded. The Minnesota Vikings have to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: make a trade for a quarterback. But we're going to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: focus in on what's going on right now with Jacksonville. So,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: good jump at all points. Three new defensive starters for
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Let's discuss the question. What did Liam Cohn's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Jaguars accomplish by trading for Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and the two other players who came over? on the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: last wave of the trade deadline. So I've got Brazilian
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: teenager bragging and Cabo San Lucas. And we will combine
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: all of these things together, and we are going to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: be buddy-buddy, unless we're not, because we're going to enjoy
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the jambalaya. Benjamin said you have to enjoy the jambalaya.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And the Baba Ganoush will have that as well. And
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the Gabagool for Tillio, our pal in Florida. Now, my
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: first thought on what exactly Liam Cohn's Jaguars accomplished by
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: trading for the Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis and the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: others here. The Jaguars announced they are no longer, at
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: least not in 2026, they're no longer satisfied being the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: NFL's version of a roadside attraction. traveling circus, if you will, here.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Come on down, see the Alligators, and we're in London,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: look at Big Ben and all that, and then that's all.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Stay for the mediocrity. No! They're done being the designated
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: punching bag. And I love it. I love it. They're
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the team that is so unpopular, the NFL sends them
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to London every year. They're like, we want to get
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: rid of you. Get out of here. Go to London.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: All right? And you're not sending the best of the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: best to London. You're sending the Jacksonville Jaguars to London
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: as a sideshow. And that's it. So they're trading in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the punching bag as the designated punching bag. And they
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: are now saying, hey, we want some brass knuckles. We
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: want some brass knuckles. And the ownership and the front office,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: what they have done is they have rubber stamped this
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: particular season, this particular squad. And I don't disagree with this.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And I don't know how you could. You look around.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Who is clearly head and shoulders above everyone else? Let's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: just focus in on the AFC. Who's your team?
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Who is it?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You look around. Buffalo, people are excited because of the Bills.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Every year we talked about this in the monologue earlier.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: The Bills are the straight-A student in the regular season
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: that fails the exam in the playoffs. That's what they do.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Will this year be different? We'll find out. But the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Bills have a fine regular season team. They don't play
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: defense very well unless they go against Carson Wentz. So
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you've got that. The Chiefs, you say they've got the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: championship pedigree, and I would agree. Now, will Kansas City
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: make a move today to improve their playmakers on offense?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Are they going to get another receiver? Developing hot, dot, dot, dot.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And then you've got the Broncos, who are much like
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of these teams. They are not the Chiefs
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and the and the Bills, but a lot of these
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: other teams, they are lacking a quarterback. Bo Nix is
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: a bad NFL quarterback. That's just the way he is,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and they've been able to win in spite of Bo Nix.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: That's not a formula that is likely going to work
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: all the way. But then you look over in Duval County,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and they're saying, why not us? And it's hard to argue.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: And so if you're Coach Liam Cohn, he's out there
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: acting like a Rottweiler, marking his territory. And they're barking
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and they're growling, and I love it. And listen, Jordan
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Davis is a good player. Jesse Bates, not a bad player,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: although he's been around a long time. In fact, here's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Liam Cohn singing the praises of the... safety who came
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: over from the Atlanta Falcons. Take a listen.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: The opportunity to get arguably a top five player in
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: this position to continue.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: To help us evolve and ascend was the whole.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Point of it all and felt like, Continuing to want
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: to get players that can.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Impact the game. Impact the game. You got to impact players.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: All right, fine. All right, so I love teams that
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: go for it. It really just is great. It warms
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: my cockles. I don't even know what that means. But
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I really love it. The Rams do this quite a bit,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and I endorse it. And any team that does it,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I fully support going for it. And I cannot stand
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the teams that just lollygag around and play tiddlywinks at
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline. We can't give up these draft picks. Oh,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: my God. F them picks. F them picks. That's what
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I say. Draft picks are lottery tickets. That's what they are.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: That's all. Nothing more than that. It's like you want.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: A working iPhone, you don't want a sketch of an iPhone.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: A draft pick is a sketch of an iPhone. I
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: would rather have a functional iPhone. That's what I would want.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: And just like that, hocus pocus and a little bit
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of focus. And the Jaguars have given their defense a BBL.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: They have given that defense... The sweet Brazilian butt lift.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: That's what they've gotten. Three new stars. That's 30% almost
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville defense. They have upgraded, or at least
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: they think they've upgraded. They've also added a tummy tuck
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and a new set of teeth at the trade deadline.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Good job by them. Now you've got to go out
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and get it done. These guys have to live up
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to their... Pro Football Reference page and get it done. Now,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: on the other side, to Philadelphia we go, where the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Eagles said bye-bye to Jordan Davis, the big mammoth defensive player.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: He goes to Jacksonville. We talked about that. And they
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: fattened up their war chest. Now, not just that trade,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: but they've made some other deals here. So Philadelphia, as
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: a result of all the different transactions, now has a
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: staggering 26 draft picks– 26 draft picks across the next
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: three drafts, including 10 in the first two rounds. So
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that's what they're all happy about. A lot of braggadocious
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Birds fans all fired up. Yet again, slobber, slobber, slobber
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: all over the GM, Howie Roseman, hoarding draft picks now.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: And this is a wonderful thing, according to the Marching
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and Shadow Society of Philadelphia. So the question is, Why
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: are Eagle fans, why are the Eagle fans celebrating Howie Roseman,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the general manager, and this stockpile of draft picks? Because
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: it means the team is going to stink for the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: foreseeable future with all these draft picks. So this is
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the greatest con. It is the greatest con in professional sports.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: It is. I'd get rid of the draft if I
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: ran professional sports. There would be no draft. The Eagles
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: are going to stink for the next couple of seasons. Now,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: there's other people saying, well, they're going to trade these
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: draft picks and get veteran players. I don't buy that.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I don't believe it. If Nick Sirianni's the coach in
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: two years, I'd be surprised. If Nick Sirianni's the coach
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: next year, I'd be surprised. Jalen Hurts, he's in play. Now,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I know he's hurt right now. He's probably out for
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the year and all. He is out for the year.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: But the Eagles, everything's on the table in Philadelphia. They
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: are announcing to the world, we are embracing the suck. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: That's the Eagles. That's what they're doing. And despite that,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Howie Roseman, he's turning this into a growth industry losing. Again,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: con game.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Con.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Con game. And the Philadelphia diehards are suddenly all horny
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: for these draft picks. It's the easiest product in sports
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to sell is hope. It's often false hope. There is
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: no warranty when you're selling hope. There's no warranty on it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: There's no return policy. All sales are final. And there
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: is no guaranteed delivery date. You just got to believe.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: You got to believe. And Howie Roseman is selling the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: fact there'll be sunshine tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day there'll
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: be sunshine. While the fans apparently are standing right now.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: based on what I've seen of the Eagles this year,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: they're standing knee deep in sewage. Today, they're standing in sewage.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: And that's it. But everyone loves these draft picks. They're imaginary.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: People love imaginary things.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: They do.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: It's like that teenager bragging about the super smoke show
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: hot girlfriend he's going to have someday. And then reality
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: sets in. Yeah, right, loser. That's it. And draft picks are,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: it's like cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency. These effing draft picks. I can't
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: stand them. Now, everyone swears, very valuable, very valuable, until
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: you try to buy something with them, and then oftentimes
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: it becomes problematic and all that. But the picks, it's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: like a carnival game. You're going to the carnival, the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: NFL's carnival game. And the fanboys, they're convinced it's a
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: glitch in the fan mindset. They are convinced that these
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: picks are going to turn into the giant teddy bear
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: at the carnival. And most of the time you end
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: up walking away, not with a giant oversized jumbo teddy bear.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: You walk away with a crappy plastic whistle that was
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: bought 700 for a dollar on Teemu. And then you
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: also have an empty wallet because you've spent all your
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: money to get the plastic whistle. So good luck on that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Now, final thought. To Jerry's World, today the trade deadline,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: conflicting reports on how aggressive the Cowboys will be and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: will they be sellers or buyers at the deadline. Now,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: former NFL GM Rain Carthon, who's now a media hack.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: He is not buying the Cowboys' public denials whether or
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: not they will trade George Pickens. Buy George. Will it
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: be buy George today? Carthon believes that Dallas is exploring,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: aggressively listening to trade conversations regarding George Pickens. Now, this
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: does go against state-funded, the Pravda News Service of the NFL,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the NFL network which disputes the trade speculations. So here's
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the question. Buy or sell? I want you to buy
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: or sell the Cowboys secretly shopping George Pickens despite Jerry
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Jones and Stephen Jones publicly denying it. So I'm buying it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm buying the fact that if you want
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: George Pickens, if you're... the chiefs or the bills or
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: one of these other teams that needs wide receiver help.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: You're in on it. Like Jerry Jones says, George Pickens
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: is not available, which means naturally on this side of
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the microphone, George Pickens is very much available. That's what
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: that means to me. And Jerry's got, he's got George
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Pickens parked. He's in the showroom and he's got the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: sticker on the windshield, pretending the car is not for sale.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Now there's, Some people think that George Pickens is actually hurt,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and that's why he didn't play in the game against Indianapolis.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: But there's a subset that believe that the reason the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Cowboys didn't play George Pickens is because they are preparing
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: to trade him today, and they didn't want him to
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: get hurt. Because that would be a Debbie Downer if
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: he got hurt and they had a trade lined up.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And so that's the dueling theories on this. So they
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: aren't technically chomping George Pickens. They're just casually asking 31
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: other teams, what would you pay for this? What would
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: you pay? Totally different. Totally different, right?
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Think of George Pickens like a timeshare in Cabo San Lucas, right?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: The brochure looks wonderful. Just freaking great. And you look
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: at it and say, oh, man, this is great. This
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: is wonderful. Until you open the envelope and you look
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: at all the fine print, the maintenance fees, and all
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: that other stuff, you're like, oh, man. I know it's pesos,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: but that's a lot of pesos. So Dallas did not
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: want to extend... George Pickens. Is that accurate? That is accurate, right?
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: So they didn't want to pay him. They feel like,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: at least what they say, they can't pay CeeDee Lamb,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: which they've already paid, and George Pickens cannot do it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And if you look at this season compared to expectations,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Pickens has been a bust. B-U-S-T, bust, bust, bust. He's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: been a bust. Trading him will guarantee something in return
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: rather than a measly... compensatory pick, which is what the
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Cowboys would get if they keep him all year and
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: then he leaves and whatnot. And we know everybody is
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: available for the right price. But if you look at
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: that Chiefs team, and again, it's wide open. We talk
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: about Jacksonville making all these moves. They know it's wide open.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Can you, A, if you're the Chiefs, Andy Reid, do
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you get a guy like Pickens? Can you motivate him?
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Can you keep him engaged? Can you feed him the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: football enough where it's worth your trouble? And that's the question.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Would you trade a third round pick or a second
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: round pick to get George Pickens? Could you even finagle
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the salary cap and toss in some other goodies to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: get him? Pickens is... just a couple days away. If
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I'm Andy Reid, he's just a couple days away from
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: eating those Ben Maller chicken fingers at the landing there
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: in Liberty, Missouri. We had that great Maller meet and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: greet a couple years ago, so why not? All right,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: it is the Ben Maller Show. Got some legends lined
• 20:04

• 20:31

  Speaker 1: of Sports Radio, so please act accordingly. The Court of
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the Mallard Militia. Don't want to mess with that. All right,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: back to it. Guess who popped up ending his hiatus
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: with Tony Romo! He's back, baby! Well, kind of. Romo
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: made an unannounced appearance on the alt broadcast of Monday
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Night Football. I guess Patton McAfee, he doesn't get enough publicity,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: so I guess they gave him an alt broadcast. I
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: don't know anyone that watched it, but apparently Romo was
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: on that. And he has mostly been away from any
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: kind of broadcasting stuff since he ended up in the
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: drunk tank in Wisconsin there. The driving under the influence thing.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: And then he got whacked by CBS. But Tony Romo,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: there he was playing grab ass with Pat McAfee as
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: an expert on Monday Night Football. The former Dallas Cowboys
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: quarterback who's looking for a broadcasting gig. And this, of course...
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Led to speculation. Wait a minute. Hold on a sec.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: ESPN doesn't like Troy Aikman. They hate Troy Aikman, right?
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: They've got lame duck Troy Aikman. That job's going to
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: be open. Could this cameo by Tony Romo lead to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Romo replacing Aikman on Monday Night Football? Developing hot, dot, dot, dot.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Everyone's got Greg Olson, and they're talking about Peyton Manning.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Tony Romo, he's going to be looking for one of
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: those cushy broadcasting jobs where you can golf and drink
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: all the time, except you can't really drive and shouldn't
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: drink and drive and all that. Because they'll see you
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: before you see them. That's illegal. Exactly. Let's go to
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the phones. 2% chance. is hanging out in Alabama, and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: he is a Buffalo Bills fan, so I'm sure he's
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: in a very happy mood. Hello, 2% Chance.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Welcome.
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: I am in a good mood. My team won, but
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: I'm sitting on the edge of my seat wondering if
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: Brandon Bean is going to pull the trigger. I'm jealous
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: of what the Jaguars are doing.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I'm with you. F them picks.
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: Brandon Bean had a chance last year to get Waddle,
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: and he didn't want to give up his 26th first-round pick. Yeah,
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: his last season's first-round pick. He wanted to go two
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: years ahead, and I think we beat Denver with Waddle.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: He's got to do something, man. He's got to quit
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: sitting on his hands. Our defense isn't that great. He's
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: got to make a move, man. I'm tired of this dude.
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: McDermott took the wrath of us not getting as far
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: as we should with a guy like Allen, who I
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: think right now is the best quarterback in the league.
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: Just right now, not hardware-wise. But he's got to, or
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: he's got to go.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Who do you want? Name some. Who do you want, 2% chance?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Who do you want? Come on.
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: All right. I want him to try and go get
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: Kyle Hamilton or go get... If you really, really wanted
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: to go get Garrett Wilson from the Jets, that would
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: be my dream.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Those two dudes right there. You should never dream about
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: acquiring a Jets player. You should never do that. That's
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: a bad job by you. You should have bigger dreams.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: No one's a stud with the Jets. You know how
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: easy it is to put up numbers on a bad team?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Very easy. Very, very easy. You don't know if he's
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: legit or not. You got to do it on a
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: good team in a situation where the games actually matter.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: The Jets, the last time a game matters for the
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Jets is their final exhibition game. It's like, I used
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: to fall for that trap back in the day, Chance,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: when I covered basketball, and there'd be guys averaging 25
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: points a game on crap teams, and then they got
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: to a good team, and suddenly their numbers went down,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: obviously because they were on a better team, and they
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: were total frauds because they put up numbers in garbage
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: time and all that, and most of Jets games are
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: garbage time.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: Well, if you think that, then go get Jerry Judy
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: or Brian Robinson.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: There you go. Well, the Browns also play nothing but garbage.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I know I hear you. You want a wide receiver.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: That's what you're saying. You want a wide receiver.
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: Yes, yes, yes. Hey, man, just wanted to say I'm
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: very excited. My son is about to graduate high school.
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: I'm very proud of him. Congratulations. I've got to brag
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: about it.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: There you go, 2% chance. There was more than a 2% chance.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: And now is he planning on going to college, or
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: is he planning on just getting a regular job and
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: making some money? What's his goal here?
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: My son is planning on going to college. He has autism,
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: but he's still in all the regular classes. He's not
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: in any special classes like that.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: And he's a straight A, B student. He's going to
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: go to college, and I'm just very proud of him.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Well, you should be proud of him.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: He's a great kid.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: That's great. Congratulations on your son there overcoming his situation there.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: All right. Thank you, Chance.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Proud Papa. 2% chance. He's a proud Papa. All right.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: You're welcome.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Some of the rumors today. Let me check in with Wayne. Oh,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: look at that. We got Wayne in Mizzou. Hello, Wayne.
• 28:09

  Speaker 1: Now, Wayne, we have not talked to you in some time.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: And I heard a story. I heard a story. And
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I want you to tell us your story. We were
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: going to meet you at the thing in Vegas, right?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: You were planning on going to Vegas?
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: August 29th, you had a... Meet and greet in Las
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Vegas at Steakhouse? Steakout?
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Steakout Bar and Grill. Yeah, it's our normal location in Vegas.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: That's where we hang out, yeah.
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: The missus and I, we have our RV loaded up,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: and we drove out early, and we were visiting my
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: twin brother and sister-in-law in San Diego. He's retired Navy.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: And we were at Camp Pendleton, and he had a
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: heart attack. Oh, no. He had a heart attack in
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: San Diego. Anyways, he's doing good. He's doing good. He's recovered.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: He's doing good. But that really put the kibosh on our.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Visit to the meeting.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I understand. I understand. All right. But you're doing all right.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: We'll work it out. Next year's another year. We'll do
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: a bunch of other meet and greets. And so hopefully
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: you can attend one of those and we'll get together
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: and finally meet after all this time.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir. And I apologize. I have albums. I have pictures.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. We'll
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: figure it out. Listen, that's much more important. Trust me.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: You did the right thing. Obviously, you did the right thing.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: So it's all good.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: And he's doing good.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Outstanding. Bless the Lord. Bless the Lord.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Were you with him when he had the heart attack,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: or he had it and then you showed up after?
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: No, we were.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Me.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: My wife, you know, she's a RN.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. Yeah, she saved your life. I remember
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the famous story. You were in the motorcycle accident.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, my Lord, yes.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, lost my left leg about five and a half
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: years ago. And as it happened, my brother, he had
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: a heart attack down in the parking lot at the
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: base exchange at Camp Pendleton. And my wife, she started CPR.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: And then a young Navy corpsman, he came over with
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: his equipment, and he helped.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: That's great. And, you know, Ben Maller, my wife, I
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: always say, God bless the Fresno State School of Nursing
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: because she saved my life five and a half years ago.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: And almost to the day she saved my brother's life.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Look at that. My God, she's your own guardian angel
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: right there. And you're married to her. That's outstanding. Listen, Wayne,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: we love you, Wayne. And I'm glad you're doing okay.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: And obviously your wife saved you both. You and your brother,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: that's outstanding. Wonderful.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: God was watching over us. God was watching over us.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: And before I... Oh, your phone, Wayne. You know, today,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Ben Maller, is the 251st birthday of our beloved Marine Corps.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: That's right. And I used your beloved drill sergeant in
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: a monologue the other day. For those that don't know, Wayne,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: a proud veteran who was in the Marines, and your
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: drill sergeant was who exactly? Wayne, explain to the person
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: driving around right now. Who exactly was the most famous
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: drill sergeant of them all? I.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Senior drill instructor at Marine Corps Recruit Depot in 1967
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: with a young staff sergeant named Arlie Ermey.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Who went on to become world-known in a full metal
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: jacket and the whole thing. Wayne, we love you. Thank
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: you so much, Wayne. I appreciate that. All the military,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: retired like Wayne, and all the active duty, thank you
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: for your Your service, a big moment this week. All right,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: let's say hello to Scotty on the Pike is up next. Hello, Scotty. Welcome.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Hey, Ben. How are we?
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Scotty, if I was any better, I'd be a May,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: but not Drake May, because I think he forgot how
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: to play quarterback.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they need help. They need a receiver.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Kyle Williams can't play. He can't play football. Not why
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: he can't play football, period.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: You might want to let 2% Chance know about that.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Let him know. 2% Chance.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, 2% Chance. Hey, you buried the lead.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I buried the lead? How did I bury the lead?
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Well, a mal-malicious affection yesterday when Mike the Leprechaun called
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: in to compliment Mark on his bumper music. That's disloyalty
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: to our queen. It should be penance.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: All right, hold on a sec here. Mike the Leprechaun,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: is it true you took a shot? I didn't even
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: notice that the rain. Is that accurate, Mike the Leprechaun?
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: No. Good morning. I said Mark's music was great. That's all.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: All right. Scotty, he's saying he's just enjoyed the music
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Mark was playing. That's what he's saying. Okay.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: And Lorena, how many times has Mike the Leprechaun complimented
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: you on your music?
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Never. Never.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Uh-huh, see?
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: All right, hold on a second. Mike, you've been accused,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: you're Mike the Leprechaun, of an act of treason against
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: the Malheur militia. Your thoughts?
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: I am preparing my children's lunch right now. But Lorena,
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: you remind me of Ariana Grande. You're that good.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Ew, stop it. Turn off his mic. Turn off his mic. Scotty,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I've been asked to turn off his mic. Scotty on
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the pike. I'm turning off his mic.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. And really what was egregious is he
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: came off hold early to make that compliment to Mark.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: That's really the problem.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: That's a good point.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Mike DeLepre, you admit you called up early.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: You don't normally call that early. You admit that, right?
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: I was monitoring the election results in New Zealand.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: New Zealand.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: Very important.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: It's very important in New Zealand.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: I think his tenant should be Mike, the Marcel lover,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: for a period of time that Lorraine had determined. And
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: that's how he should be addressed.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: All right, Michael, I think we have to change. We
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: have to punish you, according to Scotty. Or maybe he
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: should not be allowed to call in on the nights
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: that I'm not here. Oh, wow. Look at that.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Ooh. We haven't got time here.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: All right, you're all talking. We can't all talk. Scotty,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: we will address this further with Mike the Leprechaun. By
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the way, if you missed it, Scotty was on the mailbag.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: You did a great job.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: Wonderful.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: That was a couple of weeks ago. So make sure
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: to listen to that fifth hour podcast with Scotty on
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the Pike.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Appreciate the opportunity. It was a lot of fun. Hope
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: I get a chance to do it again.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: We'll have, we'll definitely do it again.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: The great Scotty on the Pike. Let's go to butter.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Weird coincidence, Ben. What's that?
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: I have an uncle who is running for office in
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: New Zealand.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Let's see.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Mike, the leprechaun. Did you know this Mike, the leprechaun?
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: Um, no, but I'm glad to know Coop is the
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: only one who's showing up for work.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Look at that. His phone got dropped again.
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I wanted to know what he was going to say, Lorena.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: He's going to compliment himself, I think. Leprechaun?
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Keeps the show held together.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, clearly. Boop is my man. Iron Man.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: I would pick him on a game show every time.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. All right. Boy, he's sucking up to you, man.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: He's got his knee pads on and everything. Actually, we're
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: by the clock, for the clock, plausibly all about the clock.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: We love these live reads. I know Mr. Luciano loves
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: the live reads. He's always a big fan of the
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: live reads. So the player that should be traded is
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. That's it. There's rumors about Shadur Sanders. Why
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: would anyone trade for Shadur Sanders? He hasn't proven anything.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: He sucked last year. He hasn't played much this year,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: so that doesn't make a lot of sense. But there's
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: rumors about him being relocated, all kinds of wild crap
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: flying around. Most of it's bull crap. We'll find out
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: what's real this afternoon when I wake up and all
