  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the big game
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: on Thursday night. The Rams and 49ers. But on Wednesday night,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the NFL season began. Yeah, there's already been a game played. Oh,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: my God. Why did they play on Wednesday? Well, they
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: played because they effed up the schedule and decided to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: go on a barnstorming mission to Australia.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And so in Melbourne, Australia, there'll be a game early Friday,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: which is Thursday night, tonight, in the States. But last night,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots played a game.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And the Patriots led the game 10-0. It was 10-3
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: going to the fourth quarter. And then Drake Mays said,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: watch out. I love the 12th man. I want to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: be the 12th man. And he ended up becoming... Dreck May.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Absolute dreck. With the game on the line, Drake May
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: decided to ride the vomit comet for the Patriots in
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. He was 6 of 11 passing for
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: 51 yards, was sacked three times, and threw three interceptions.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Had a passer rating in the fourth quarter in a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: one-score game where the Patriots got shut out in the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Drake May had a passer rating of 27.3.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't play in the NFL. I am told that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: is not good. And the Patriots did the impossible, the unimaginable.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: They lost to a team that had their starting quarterback
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: knocked out. Granted, Sam Darnold's not very good. Neither is
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke. And Drew Locke played horrific football. Patriots could
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: not add on to the lead. Could not add on
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to the lead. And they end up losing 13-10 to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. It's Drake May. Three interceptions on the final...
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Three possessions, three for three for Drake Mays, so the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Patriots lose the game. Now, the story within the story
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: is wide receiver A.J. Brown, the big pickup. What did
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: he have, 150 yards receiving, touchdown? No, no, he didn't
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: have that.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: A.J.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Brown did have an injury, his right knee. He left
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the game early in the third quarter. As New England
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: ends up losing that game there, he did not return.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: If you saw the game earlier, You know what I'm
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: talking about. Perhaps not, though. The injury occurring on a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: third down incompletion. And one of the defensive backs for
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks there, someone named Nehemiah Pritchett, he ended
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: up colliding with A.J. Brown there. And Pritchett's knee appeared
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to land on Brown's ankle. And his body weight, Brown,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: initially remained on the ground. He grabbed the back of
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: his right leg, which is never a good sign. Never
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a good sign. Walked off under his own power. Entered
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the medical tent, the blue medical tent there. And they
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: were not having a barbecue. They were not reading books. No.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: He was ruled out at the start of the fourth quarter. So, Brown,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: his much-ballyhooed Patriot debut. Did he live up to the hype?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: He had three catches for 26 yards.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Whee!
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Now, after the game, Brown was seen in the locker
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: room wearing a protective booty. He was wearing a protective booty. Now,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel, did he have a lot to say about that?
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: No.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I did not give a medical update, but I'm sure
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Diana Rossini will have it right away. All right, so
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: that is a good jumping-off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Is New England's season already in legitimate trouble If A.J.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Brown is out for a significant amount of time, that
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: is the question. What is the answer? All right, so
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I've got Applebee's, kangaroo, and Wendy's french fry. That's what
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I've got. We'll combine all of these together, and we're
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: going to have a little gabagool. Just a little gabagool,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: some baba ganoush. We'll have some jambalaya for Benjamin and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a little matzo ball soup. Why not? As many people,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: fettuccine alfredo, chicken parm. All sounds good. All right, so
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: first of all, to answer the question, is New England
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: season in legitimate trouble if A.J. Brown misses significant time? Yeah,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I'm nodding my head yes. I'm nodding my head yes.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're being such a chalk chalk mallard.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Did you see the depth chart for the Patriots at
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: wide receiver? It's terrible. Aside from A.J. Brown.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: If A.J.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Brown misses significant time, New England's offense is a pop gun.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Pop Douglas. That's it. They don't have any legitimate difference makers.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: They don't.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And New England's in some big-time trouble here. He's the alpha.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Everybody else in that receiver room is basically waiting for
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a table at Applebee's, and there's a lot of people
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: ahead of them. Romeo Dobbs, oh, he was terrible. He
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: was worse than A.J. Brown, and he had the clown
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: hat on there, the pad on the helmet, which made
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: him stand out even more for all the bad football
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: he played. Even when he's right, Back in his Packer days,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: on a good day, he's a mid-level wide receiver. Mack Hollins,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: barefoot journeyman wandering around like he's lost his flip-flops at
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a Jimmy Buffett concert somewhere. So the Patriots paid a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: premium price. They paid a 2028 first-round pick for A.J.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Brown to be the man, not to become mayor of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the trainer's room. And now the spotlight swings directly onto
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Drake May, and this is where franchise quarterbacks are supposed
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to polish turds. Is Drake May that guy? Is Drake
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: May going to be able to polish some turds, turn
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: hamburger into filet mignon? Is he going to be able
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to do that? I haven't seen it. The Patriots got
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl last year, and that is true,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and Drake May was the runner-up to the MVP and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: all that. Did he really elevate ordinary players into something
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: better than that? So spare me the excuses about the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: supporting cast. That is the assignment. Make Dobbs better. Make
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Hollins better. Drag the Jags, just a guy, across the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: finish line. The great ones elevate the furniture around them.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: So far, Drake May... I just don't see it. He
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: hadn't played that much, but tune. You get the orchestra,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: and you've got to try to tune the orchestra, and
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you've got to kazoo is what you got. All right.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Continuing the theme here, keeping the beat going. So the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: question now, and we don't know how long or how
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: bad the injury to A.J. Brown is. There are some
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: reports that say it's not great. That might be just
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: engagement farming. Who knows? So far, nothing. I love living
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: in the age of the social media doctor. The doctors
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that are trying to get clout online, giving medical updates.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I love this. I've had doctors. Chow on my podcast
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I think he's probably the most famous for doing that
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: but there's other doctors also that are doing that it's
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: just so great everyone needs attention it's part of the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: human condition we all need attention alright so the question
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: who do you think just between me and you riddle
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: me this Batman who's chuckling most about Patriots wide receiver A.J.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Brown being in a walking booty after one game in
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: New England, his foot being in the boot. So the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: obvious answer for many would be the Eagle fans. There's
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of cackling over there about A.J. Brown and
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the Delaware Valley, and they're holding up their voodoo dolls, saying, see, see,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the voodoo doll worked. But I would argue, I think Alf,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the alien opiner, Ferg Dog, and Malaprop Guy would agree
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: that the loudest laughter is coming from Sean McVay somewhere
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: in Melbourne, Australia, riding around on a kangaroo and thanking
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the football gods. Because you might not remember this. I do.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: The Rams were this close. You can't see my fingers
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: unless you're stalking me on YouTube. But the Rams were
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: this close to landing the player. They had the framework.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: All worked out for A.J.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Brown.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: They're going to trade Devontae Adams and some draft picks
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to the Eagles to get A.J.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Brown.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: The trade was sitting on the table to get rubber stamped,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and it was all gift-wrapped and ready to go, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that was that. And then somebody, some poindexter in the
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Ram building noticed a warning label, Fragile, Handle with Care.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And the Rams backed out of a trade because they
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: were afraid of the health of A.J.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Brown.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: And one game into his Patriots career, he's already hopping
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: around on a pogo stick. He's got the walking boot
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and the whole thing. That's not dodging a bullet. That's
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: watching the bullet hit somebody while you're safely across the street.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: You're eating a dirty water dog in one hand. You've
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: got a pretzel in the other. So New England, we'll
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: see if this is as bad as some say it is.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I hope it's not. That would be a real kick
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to the balls if that's the case. But New England
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: paid Nordstrom prices. And apparently, for now, they bought A.J.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Brown and they got a Brown off the scratch in
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Den Isle in the back there is what they got.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: That's all they got. All right. Final thought to Philadelphia.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Developing story out of Philadelphia. The NFL investigative arm reportedly
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: snooping around on Eagles security chief Big Dom. Dom DeSandro. Now,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you might remember we used to have this guy named
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Angry Bill that called the show. And Angry Bill... They
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: emailed Big Dom, and Big Dom, I guess, called them
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: or something like that. They had a phone conversation. I
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: forget exactly what it was about, but there was some
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: kind of connection. I think it was on the phone.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I think he called them up, and they talked or whatever. Anyway,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Big Dom is in some possible trouble here, all because
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: of comments made by someone named Emmanuel Achoo on some
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: podcast that no one heard back in August. Achoo recalled
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the fact that he played for the Eagles briefly. He was, like,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: hardly in the NFL. But he rear-ended another driver on
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: his way to practice. And so he was in the accident.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: He called. the team's security employee for help, said, I've
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: just been in a fender bender here. I just rear-ended somebody.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And the player called the security guy, the security guy
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: for the team. Achoo claims the employee told him, hey, listen,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: when the cop shows up, send the cop away. I'm
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: going to send you another cop, suggesting that the replacement
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: cop would blame the other driver. So the guy that
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: was on this podcast, Achoo, refused to identify the team
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and or the employee played for multiple teams because he
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: wasn't good, noting only that he played for the Browns, Eagles,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and the Giants. So it's one of those three teams. Now,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the Internet investigators have determined they believe it is Big Dom.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: So the question, Eagles chief security officer and part cartoon
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: character Big Dom, Big Dom is being investigated again by
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the NFL. What do you make of this latest plot twist?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: So my favorite part of the story is this is
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: something that happened 13 years ago. And we're supposed to
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: believe that Roger the Dodger Goodell is assembling CSI cold
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: case unit to investigate the Eagles fixer. Big Dom. The evidence. Well,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: there's no name. There's no public proof. There's no NFL
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: confirmation that. Other than that, what do they have, an
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: airtight case? Mr. Counselor, we have an airtight case? Is
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that how that works? I guess you could go back
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and look through the insurance records for Emanuel Achoo and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: see if there's something there. Good luck on that. I
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: would imagine half the evidence from 13 years ago is
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: probably on an AOL email account, which every guy I know,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: every girl and guy I know that's around my age,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: we all use our AOL accounts as our junk mail accounts.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: You know when you go out to get your free
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: T-shirt at a game and you've got to sign up
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: for something? I'll give you my email address. Sure, no problem. Okay,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: thanks for the free T-shirt. I never checked that email,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: but thank you. So the NFL can't figure out what
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: happened last Wednesday. And they have six different camera angles.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And yet, they're looking for what? A Wendy's french fry
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: covered in sea salt that dropped under the driver's seat
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: in 2013 and then slid to the left-hand side. Not
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the right-hand side. It slid to the left-hand side. Meanwhile,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Emmanuel pulled the pin, tossed the grenade out, and act
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: shocked that people are looking for the fingerprints. I think
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: he's shocked that anyone actually heard what he said on
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: that podcast. Now, Big Dom... This guy is such a character.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: There's going to be some Netflix docuseries on Big Dom
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: who has become the Forrest Gump of the Eagles. Every controversy,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: every bizarro Philadelphia football story, and there is Big Dom
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: in the background. He's just always involved in all of
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: this bullcrap. And the fascinating part goes way beyond Big Dom, though.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And having been a little bit in the outskirts of
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that world, having been around that world. It's crazy to
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: see how they do business. I'm sure it's the same
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: way it was then. It's even in the Internet age.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: But all these sports leagues, especially the NFL, they've got
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the fixers. And they have spent decades sweeping up messes
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: before they hit headlines again. And I remember when I
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: was covering baseball and there was a well-known player on
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: a team that I was around quite a bit who
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: got a DUI and he was late to the game.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: It was a, they're playing a day game. He went
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: out after the game on Saturday, got apparently hammered and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: got a DUI. So he showed up. I happened to
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: possibly be in the room when he showed up. So
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: he may or may not have shown up the next
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: morning for the, the day game but he missed he
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: showed up late so he couldn't play in the game
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and he tossed the dui paperwork at one of the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: employees and said can you take care of this for
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: me uh anyway as far as this is concerned for
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: big dom the chances of punishment in this case i'm
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: gonna go none and i'm gonna lay the points i'm
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: gonna go none and i'm gonna lay the points That's
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: what I'm going to do. It is the Ben Maller
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Show as we are hanging on. Here are your thoughts.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: If you watched the beginning of the NFL season, it
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: wasn't much of a game. If you like penalties and mistakes,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: it was a great game. But that's standard. We always
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: get all worked up into a lather. And then the
• 18:28

• 20:54
  Speaker 1: FSR Tech Queen.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Hi, Bill.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: She's a survivor, Lorena.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: She is.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Tough woman. A lesser woman would not be here after
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: being attacked by a cockroach. But she's here. Koopaloop at
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: a Bronco fan. That's a Bronco fan. Sell it to
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: him there. And your comments can and will be used
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: against you in the court of sports radio. So please
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: act accordingly. Koop thought I was lying. No, I don't believe. Coop,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: he wants to make sure. There have been some people
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: in the past that have made up stories here at
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the company, so we just want to make sure everything's okay. Okay,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: but that is a wild story.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: To make up.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I said that you were lying. No, Lorena?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what? He doesn't think that he said.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I said I don't know that I said that you
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: were lying.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Well, no, but it was like, I wasn't sure if
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: I should take you seriously or not.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Well, yes, because when you walked into the building, I
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: thought somebody close to you had died.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I felt like I died.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I was legit having a panic attack on the side
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: of the road.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think you understand. I don't understand.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: And that is why you think I thought you were lying,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: because I have seen you be dramatic before. But this
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: takes it to a whole new level. Yeah.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Everything okay, Lorraine? No, I was not okay.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: They don't have cockroaches in Oregon? And all my stuff
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: is in the car with the cockroach. Do you understand?
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: What do you think it's doing? You think it drove
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: your car away?
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: I think it's burrowing.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: It's burrowing? What if it's pregnant? Yeah, it could be pregnant.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Did you check to see if it was a male
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: or a female? Did you check the cockroach's junk? You
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: did not. Okay, so we don't know if it's a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: male or female cockroach. Dab it with my marshmallow skewers.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Look, I sympathize with this story because a similar thing
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: happened to me a number of years ago.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: In fact, it was... Yeah, right, Coop. You were late
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: to work because of a cockroach?
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Well, no.
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: I was.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: You were here. I was late to work because of
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: a spider. But what happened... Yes!
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, the spider was in my car. I was so
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: happy you said spider.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: I had to pull off the freeway. But what I
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: did is I made my because I was still I
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: was still in my hometown. I made my wife come
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: and give.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Me her car. That's a grown-up thing to do. Which
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I then drove to work. So she could be killed
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: by the spider. That makes perfect sense.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Look, I just didn't have time to find the spider.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, completely understandable. Meanwhile, I don't even care. I just
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: get bitten by everything. I have bites, bug bites, mosquitoes,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: you name it, spider bites all over me. I don't
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: even care at this point. I'm just like, whatever. Just
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: enjoy my blood. Here's my blood.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: I guess it just I guess it just depends on
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: what the individual person's thing is, because if it was
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: a cockroach in my car, I wouldn't have. I would
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: have smashed. Do you realize how huge it was?
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: I don't.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, I just would have smashed the cockroach and
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: move on. But a spider, that's a different story.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: As in Hawaii years ago, and I'd never seen flying
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: cockroaches before. And it's pretty traumatic when.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: You see it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Now Coop doesn't believe how big the cockroach was.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I just drew him a picture.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's a size.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: He thinks I'm a liar. Apparently it was the biggest
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: cockroach in the history of man.
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: It was huge.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: They're going to make a horror movie about the cockroaches.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phones. Let's say hello.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Could have been a dinosaur. I understand.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Prehistoric.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: What if that was an alien, actually? It wasn't a cockroach,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and it was like an alien species from somewhere outside
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the Milky Way.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: See, I feel like he was so big that he's
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: already survived so much, so he's not going to die easily.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Okay. Let's say hello to Danny DeVito, cashing a golden ticket.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: That's our trash man. Trash man of the stars. Hello, Danny. Welcome.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Fine.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I'm doing better than the Patriots. I know that. That
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: was not good.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm calm, Ben. It was bad last night. Ben,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: everybody around here loves this kid Drake May. I'm not
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: sold on him. There's been some red flags on him, as.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: You know, for the past six games.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: He's been playing terrible. It's not just bad. It's been terrible.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: And I get some questions on him. You can't do
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: what he did late in that game and throw that pick.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: You've got to do everything else besides throw a pick
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: in that game late. At least tie up the game.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: You know, put it on a kicker and tie it up.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: I couldn't believe that, that he did that. I mean,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: there was other things.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they had. I mean, that's the thing. They had
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: the tie at worst. They would have gone to overtime
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and then played it out at that particular point. But
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: it's so rare. In fact, the numbers bouncing around that
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Drake May, the first quarterback to throw three interceptions in
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of a season opener with his team
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: tied in the lead or down by one score since
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: at least 1991. That's a long time. That's a long time. Yeah,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: it was that bad. It was terrible.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid that he doesn't have that clutch gene, Ben.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: He don't have that.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: There are certain players that have that. The great ones
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: have that. I've seen him enough in these big games.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: He doesn't have it.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: The other thing, he hasn't played much. I'm not writing
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: him off yet. But here's the problem, though. All right.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: You know how the great guys turn kind of middle-level
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: receivers into better players? I don't see Drake May as
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: that guy. And if A.J. Brown's out for a while,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: they just have a bunch of guys at wide receiver.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: There's nobody who's any really that good. Romeo Dobbs had
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: a terrible night last night. Mac Hollins is just nothing.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: He's like middle of the depth chart wide receiver guy.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: So they don't have a lot there. There's not a
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: lot to work with.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I got to run, though, Ben. I'm busy. I just
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: want to tell you that.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you, buddy.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Be good.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: All right. Have a good day. The great Danny DeVito.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Good dude. Came to the event we did there in Worcester.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: It was nice to meet him and his pals. Let's
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: say hello to, what do we got here? The Dixter.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Dick in Dayton is up next. Hello, Dick. Welcome. Hey,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: good morning, guys.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a Red, but
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: not a Cincinnati Red. They got smashed by the Dodgers
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: last night.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: That's not good.
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: I think heads are going to roll. I mean, everybody's
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: mad about it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: Oh, geez.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: More importantly, more importantly, and nobody cares about that, did
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: you go to Buc-ee's?
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: No.
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: Dave, I think he had a broken tooth. He went
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: to a restaurant that morning. He broke a tooth or something.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: It's unfortunate. Yeah, I know he'll come.
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: Back, but, well, I'm thinking the Bengals, I think, are
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: going to beat Tampa, and I think the Browns might
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: maybe surprise us, maybe.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Maybe.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: So we're getting optimistic, Dick, is what we're getting here, yes?
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: Yes, maybe.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: Quarterback, I think they can win by maybe three points.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Maybe. All right.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: How many wins for the Bengals this year? How many?
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: How many wins?
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: I'd say 10 wins this year.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: 10 wins. So they'll go 10-7. Yeah. And the Browns,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: how many for the Browns?
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: I think they'll go, let's see, 6-7.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: 8-9.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: 8-9.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: So, wow, that's a good year. They go 8-9. That'd
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: be a shocking year. That's a coach of the year
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: if you win eight games with that roster.
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: It's going to be a tough one in Columbus. The Buckeyes,
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: I think, play Texas, don't they? Texas A & M.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Game of the weekend. Not Texas A & M, Texas Longhorns.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: And Arch Manning, the next in the Manning lineage. And
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: that's the big game this weekend in college football. I'll
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: be checking that out on Saturday. You going to go
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: to the game?
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: I'll probably watch them.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I'll watch them. You'll watch them. All right.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I got you. You better go to Buc-ee's. Well, thank you.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: You got to go to Buc-ee's, though. I want you
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: to get an update. I want to find out what
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: you think of Buc-ee's.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I will.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I've been to that location. Tell Dave from Dayton to
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: get some gas over there. They got good gas over there.
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what he was wanting, but I think he'll come.
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: But I know, well, you have a good day.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: It's always good.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Dick.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: Bye-bye.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: All right, there he goes. Dick and Dayton. The man,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the myth, the legend. Let's say hello to, what do
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: we got here? We've got Mojo Risen, who's up next.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: In the Bay Area. Hello, Mojo Risen.
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: And through to the other side. The Ben Maller Show
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: that's overnight where the bad callers can't hide. Every night
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: it hits a new stride. Us diehards, we listen with pride.
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: And will the Southern California coast handle those hurricane tides? Mr.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: Ben Mallard, the overnight godfather. Hey, I was going to say, I.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Buried those cockroaches.
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: Poor Lorena. I mean, you know, that truly is a
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: traumatic experience.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: And what's wrong with L.A.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Cops?
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: You got a hot chick on the side of the
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: road with her hazard lights on and they don't even
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: stop for her? Like, what's up with that?
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: And they passed three times. I know, that's ridiculous.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: Three times. Like, cops, you know, come on. Cops got
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: their life, you know. I mean, come on, you know. Cops,
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: they pull over hot chicks, whatever. Like, I mean, you've
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: got a hot chick on the side of the road
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: with her hazard lights on, and they don't pull over
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: to help the poor lady. And, you know, and honestly,
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: even with Coop and the spiders, everybody knows spiders are horrible,
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: but cockroaches can be, like, truly traumatic, especially for women
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: and stuff. Like, us guys, we're more manly and whatever,
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: but come on, cockroaches are just nasty.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: And her being in the car, I think that would
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: be a traumatic experience. At least you didn't call 911.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: What's your emergency? A cockroach came in the car. You
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: didn't do that. You know, that's a tough call to make.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: You know, you really can't make that call. I felt
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: bad for the guy on the sidewalk because I was
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: screaming at first.
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I was like, ma'am, is everything okay? Yeah, I understand. Yeah,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: it's this giant... cockroach that came over there. All right, Mojo,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: everything good with you? Yes, everything's all right?
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, everything's not bad.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, the reason that I'm calling too,
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: as you know, I always call you the Godfather, and
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: the explanation is that your show is more than just sports.
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: You have entertaining stuff going on, and you are the
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: man of information and predictions. That's what I like about you.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: We're cut from the same cloth. me being the modern
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: day quote and profit like the actual Jim Morrison I
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: would like to make a prediction and Koop will like
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: it and this is that I know football I really
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: believe his Broncos are good enough to make it to
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: the Super Bowl this year and they kind of got
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: burned last year and believe it or not I'm not
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: just a homer because I love you Ben but I
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: really think your Rams are going to be there too
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: so I think it's going to be the Broncos and
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: the Rams in the Super Bowl you heard it from
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: the a poet and a prophet, Mr. Mojo Risen, man.
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: We love you guys out here in Northern California, and
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: I hope you guys will be down there okay, okay,
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: with those tides in SoCal. And the whole world is
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: out of control right now with everything going on. Like
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: I always say, embrace your life, embrace your loved ones, man.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Crazy times. All right, thank you. There he goes,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: the great Mojo Risen from the Bay Area. Let's say
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: hello here. Who do we got? Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Lorena picked one or two. One or two.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Number one.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Number one, you picked Scotty on the Pike. Hello, Scotty
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: on the Pike. What's going on, Scotty? Welcome.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: Hey, Ben.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I would be a Dobbs,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: but not Romeo Dobbs, because he's bad, as he was
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: last night.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Oh, wicked gross. That's how the NFL season started. That's
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: how the Patriots season started. That's how the Seahawks season started.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Wicked gross. I listened to it on the radio because,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: like you, I'm working all night. And you know what
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: it felt like? It felt like for three and a
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: half hours, I was driving through Death Valley with my
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: window down, Britney Spears cranking on my Pandora, and cockroaches
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: the size of the New England states kept flying into
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: my car and cat dancing across my face and stomping
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: on my chest and just causing all types of hell.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: It was wicked gross. Gross. It was so disappointing to
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: finally have the ball and have that. But I do
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: have a question for you.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go. This is Scotty on the Pike.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: We got a question. We'd like to alert all the affiliates.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Scotty on the Pike's about to dazzle you with a question.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know about dazzle, but neither of these starters
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: played in any preseason snaps. Do you think that had
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: an impact on... the product tonight.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's going to have an impact on every team
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: because hardly anyone plays. Even the guys that do play,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: they hardly play. But it's been this way for years, Scotty.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: You know that. We get excited. We're going to have
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: to wait like three games.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. Usually they play a series
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: or two in a preseason game.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they really hardly do. It's going to be like...
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: We'll be lucky. We'll be in here after the Monday
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: night game. We'll be lucky if we get like two
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: good games. If we get two good games out of this,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: we'll be lucky. And that's just the way it is.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Usually this way every year these days. So that's the
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: way it is. All right. Be safe out there. Scotty
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: on the pike driving around.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: Sorry about your cockroach experience, Lorena. I hope you can
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: get over it. Thank you. Appreciate it.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: She'll be going to some therapy. She'll be okay. So
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the rigged deal. Do you see the latest Internet conspiracy?
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: The Internet sleuths are now convinced the NFL is, of course, rigged. Why?
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Because during the Patriots-Seahawks season opener, fans spotted a bizarre
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: numerical coinkydink. Did you see what this was, Lorraine? What
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: do you think it was? First touchdown for the Patriots.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: First touchdown of the NFL season. What was it about
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: that that caused people to think it's rigged?
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: I missed the very beginning.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Of the game.
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Might have been another cockroach. They think it was rigged
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: because when the Patriots scored the first touchdown in the
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: NFL season, the time on the clock, there was 9-11
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: remaining on the game plan.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: 9-11.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow is 9-11. Numerical symbolism. It is the Ben Mathers Show.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: We are moments away. I need some judges. Call up
• 35:57

  Speaker 1: video with all the DMs there. She's apparently the next
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: big thing. And there has been renewed tension between Canada
