  Speaker 1: about that. I'll have the big post-game show later on

  Speaker 1: on the 5th Hour Podcast. And thanks to everyone. A
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: big crowd from Louisville. Party bus. Big birthday celebration. They
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: were all having a good time there. Brandy and Nathan
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: did show up. They flew out last minute. Hope they
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: had a good time from Florida. And everyone else that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: came out there. It was a lot of fun. We
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: look forward to doing it again. And so thank you guys.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It's a good sign. Sometimes you worry. You hide behind
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: these microphones. And you're like, holy crap. We're talking to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the same degenerates every night. But no, there's actually new
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: people out there that don't ever call the show that
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: are normal people. They're hardworking people or they're retired, whatever
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: they might be doing, but they're not causing problems like
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: some of you idiots. Anyways, it was great. So we
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: had a wonderful time. But our lead this hour from Minnesota,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: we go where the state fair is bumping and the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: quarterback room is crashing. So J.J. McCarthy caught in the crosshairs.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Would he survive the roster cut down on Sunday or not?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Survey says he survived. He survived. J.J. McCarthy, for now,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: is on the Minnesota Vikings' initial 53-man roster, despite multiple
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: reports saying that they were going to trade him or
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: he was going to get released, all of that stuff.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It didn't happen. At least not yet. And now I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: have learned over the last couple of years, if you
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: have not followed these roster cut down stories, not to
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: get worked up into a lather over roster cut downs.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Because the guys that look like they're going to make
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the roster often don't make the roster. And then the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: people that are supposed to make the roster and then
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: they fall off. It's very odd. It's very odd this
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: time of year. So McCarthy for now has remained with
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota football team post-deadline season. And again, this is
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a temporary situation. There is a lot of speculation that
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: he is still not off the hot seat, and the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: timing looks like there will be some change. The Vikings
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: made their choice. They decided to go with Alligator Arms
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Murray from the Little Rascals, Kyler Murray as the fun-sized QB.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And so McCarthy has been in a dogfight with Carson Wentz,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and that has not been announced whether or not Carson
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Wentz will be the backup or not, you would assume
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the way things were leaning, that McCarthy will be the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: number three quarterback if he makes the team, and Carson
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Wentz will be the number two, the backup. So that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Does making the roster, for now, actually change anything about J.J.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: McCarthy's future in the Twin Cities? So I've got Barnacle,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Montessori School, and Sodfather. Not Godfather, Sodfather. And we will
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together, and we are going
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to have some jambalaya for Ben Jamin. We'll have the gabagool.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Got to have the gabagool for Tillio in Florida. And
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the baba ganoush. Going to have all that. So to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: lead off here, congratulations. Congratulations to J.J. McCarthy, the Michigan man.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: For now, you have survived the turk. Not Turk Stevens,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: who used to work here at Fox Sports Radio. You've
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: survived the Turk. The roster ghoul, the grim reaper of
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: NFL rosters. So somebody might want to call the mayor
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and organize a parade. Maybe you can hang a banner
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: up there at the stadium in downtown Minneapolis there. Former
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: 10th overall pick makes 53-man roster. Video at 11. What
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: are we doing? Seriously. The way this was bouncing around
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the echo chamber. Seriously. Three years. J.J. McCarthy three years
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: ago was supposed to be the franchise savior. I went
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: back and I looked at my notes and some of
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the reports from media hacks about J.J. McCarthy who never
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: looked like he was all that at Michigan. He was
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a system guy and fine. They won a lot. They
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: won a championship that had some stank on it at
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Michigan it never got the vibe like this is a
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: guy's gonna go to the NFL and just like the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: world on fire and yet you look at some of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the stories that were written obviously you would assume from
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: his PR people and is written by mr. editor if
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean that reference and it just
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: went glowing and on and I was like the Hawk
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: tour for JJ McCarthy unfortunately how's that worked out so
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: far well not good Not good. And so McCarthy, three
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: years ago, franchise savior for the Minnesota Vikings. Now he's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: clinging on to the Viking ship like a barnacle. I
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: guess he's on a Carnival Cruise Viking ship thing. And
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: he's like that barnacle hanging on underneath it at this
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: particular point. So this is not a comeback. Don't call
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: it a comeback. It's a temporary pardon. from the football gods.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And keeping on the next few days here to see
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: how this all plays out. Using Maler math, if I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: am correct, Minnesota has not one, not two, not three,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: but four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster, which is approximately
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: two more than are needed at any one time for
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: any sane football operation. So somebody is getting the old
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: he-fo in the Viking quarterback room. Somebody's getting let go.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: The Vikings, for now, are hanging on to J.J. McCarthy.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And my theory on this is they don't want to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: admit that they whiffed on McCarthy. Not just whiffed, like
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: epic whiff. Like, we signed a guy with a video
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: game addiction to be our quarterback, and that's better than J.J. McCarthy.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: in order for them to get rid of McCarthy, just
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: release him, that would require swallowing a bowling ball. Now,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know anyone that can do that, so good
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: luck on that. But if another GM offers, let's say
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: today or the next couple days here, the GM says,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: all right, we'll offer you a conditional fourth-round pick for J.J. McCarthy.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Does he not get wrapped in a Tiffany box with
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: bubble wrap and a nice bow? and sent on his way.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: They'll slap that shipping label right there on his forehead
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and send him overnight express to his next NFL destination.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: And that's it. So the forecast, and I looked at
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: my Mexican Doppler 2000, which was left behind by Roberto,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: who left the sweatshop of radio to go work as
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a bus driver. And so you look at it, you're like, okay,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: so this forecast calls for... My Doppler don't work. That's right, Roberto.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: But it says here, biggie-sized heartburn is what it says.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: It says Biggie-sized heartburn. That's it. So eventually, developing quarterback, DQ,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: not Dairy Queen, developing quarterback, reaches the expiration date. Generally
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: not at the three-year mark. The draft bust is waiting
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: off on the side there, very patiently. Yeah. And just
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: take a number at the deli counter. It's not looking good.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: And I still believe he will be off the Viking roster, J.J. McCarthy.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: One of these quarterbacks is going to be off if
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: somebody will trade him. a mid-round draft pick, you can
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: get J.J. McCarthy. Now, furthermore, to Miami we go. Outrageous
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: coach speak of the weekend. Developing hot dot, dot, dot.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Dolphins coach Jeff Halfley. Don't know that name very well
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: because the Dolphin job is a temp job. So Jeff Halfley,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: who had been with the Green Bay football team, he
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: said recently that Miami's success... this upcoming NFL season, will
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: not be measured by wins and losses. Wins and blankety-blank
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: losses will not be measured by that. And the new
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Dolphin coach emphasized that they're building a sustainable foundation, the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: bedrock of the Dolphins. And, of course, this is Code
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: for we are going to suck, and when we don't suck,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: we're going to blow. That's what that means there, but
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: watch us anyway. So Halfley said Miami wants to win,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: but success is not defined by winning. Now, this is
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: obviously different. When I grew up, winning was what mattered.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I know, you're such a boomer, Benny the Boomer.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Call me crazy. So that's the quote. Jeff Halfley, the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Dolphin coach, said success is not defined by winning. He
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: stressed process, toughness, and avoiding shortcuts. Now, Jeff Halfley is
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: essentially asking the Miami Dolphin Marching and Chowder Society to say, hey,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: 2026 is all about developing. Who exactly are you developing?
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Give me that. I don't know who they're developing, and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: he's all about the process and all that stuff, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And it seems like a pretty controversial– sales pitch for
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: an NFL team that has been blah, blah, blah, blah,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: blah for a while now. And they haven't had many
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: expectations of winning in a while. So the question, why
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: should the Dolphin fan, why should the Dolphin fan pay
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: NFL prices when the head coach, Jeff Halfley, is asking
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: them to grade the season on a curve? So the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: obvious answer is they shouldn't. You can do what you want.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: If you're rich, you're loaded, you got a lot of money,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: you want to burn it on the Miami Dolphins season
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: ticket plan, good for you. Knock yourself out. You'd be
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: better off going out to the beach, having a bonfire,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and burn, baby, burn. You'd just be better off there.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I would advise you to not be a sucker. Don't
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: be a sucker. And Halfway, the new coach, listen, he
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: hasn't even coached his first real game. Those exhibition games
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: don't count. So he hasn't coached a real game in
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: South Florida and already pouring concrete on the excuse bunker.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Got to build that excuse bunker. He's doing that right now.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Got to do it. Got to have those good excuses
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: in that bunker. Now, Miami has not just embraced the tank. No, no, no.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: They've discovered a sophisticated corporate buzzword, a bunch of them,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Without actually saying tank, they just use these different terms.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: So spare me the PowerPoint on this. I don't need
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the PowerPoint on this. The 2026 Miami Dolphins have turned
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: into a monastery school where everyone gets credit for Tuesday practice.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: You know, we might have lost on Sunday by 17,000 points.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: But we had a good practice on Tuesday. We play
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: on Thursday, so it's a short week, and we're in
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: really good shape. Now, meanwhile, Miami is taking the under
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the guise of development, that phrase. It's all about development.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: And they're really leaning into that. Like, that's the thing.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: It's all about the D word, development, here. However, the suits,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: what they're really eyeing is not development, because when the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Dolphins are ever good again, these guys will not be
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: on the team.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: What they're looking for is the arch, the golden arch.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Not the golden arches. That's McDonald's. The golden arch. Arch
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Manning in 2027. Everything is subterfuge. All of it there
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: just to land that top pick in the draft. And
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you can hide behind a bunch of psycho babble all
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you want. But out here in the real world, where
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I'm hanging out and you're hanging out too in the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: real world here, you look around. at the Miami Dolphins here,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and you are what your record says you are, and
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins, they'll be lucky if they win five games.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: They're projected to win about four games, the Dolphins, and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: that seems unrealistic with the wide receivers they have. You're
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: going to play a lot of Charlie Checkdown with Malik Willis.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Good luck on that. Now, last thing, to Buffalo. Here
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: we go, Buffalo. Watch out for that Bills Mafia. Watch
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: out for them. So the Bills are ripping up. They
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: are ripping up the natural grass field at their $ 2. 2
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: billion showcase stadium before they've even played a game, a
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: real game, at the Highmark Stadium. This announcement came down
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. Their home opener. They start on the road,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and then their home opener. They will
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: play in that stadium with New Grass during the exhibition games.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: The surface had a lot of divots. There were some...
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Bald patches and loose chunks of grass. It sounded like
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: every middle-aged man anywhere. A lot of bald patches, divots,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and loose chunks of stuff all over the place. Anyway,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: one anonymous Bills player famously delivered the punchline of punchlines,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: gave a scouting report on the Buffalo Bills' new stadium,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: said the field is ass right now. The field is
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: ass right now. Now, the Bills came out. They put
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: on the offensive. They said, listen, it passed the NFL
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: safety and playability test. All the standards, the bills defended everything.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Anyone questioning the Bill Stadium, they defended everything, and they
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: said all the complaints, everything will be worked out, everything's
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: going to be fine here, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: And now, before a single snap of any memorable note
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: takes place in that stadium, meaning anything that we're going
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: to remember years from now in the regular season game,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Buffalo is replacing the lawn with And all the complaints
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: about the stadium, the scoreboard not being up to snuff,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and this, that, and the other thing. So the question,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: are the Bills conceding, are the Buffalo Bills conceding without
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: actually conceding that their original defense of their new $ 2. 2
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: billion Highmark Stadium grass was grade A Buffalo manure? Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: So this is rather obvious, right? This is clearly a concession.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: If the grass was good, wouldn't the easiest solution have been,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know, crazy idea. Just leave it where it is.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: You don't need to replace it if it's fine and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: it's working the way it's supposed to be working. So
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: instead the bills, how many times do they release statements
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: insisting nothing to see here? Everything is fine. Everything is safe.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: It's hunky dory. We're all good. And then they ordered
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the landscaping equivalent of an emergency medical operation, a surgery
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: approved by the God of sod. And that's it. And
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: so Buffalo also dumping this news in the weekend news cycle,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: hoping that everyone gets distracted by other things and is
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: not paying attention. We paid attention. Nothing says corporate, corporate weasel,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: like declaring you're very happy that with something you immediately
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: throw away. We're very happy with that. Let me throw
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: that in the dumpster. In fact, better yet, let me
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: throw that in the garbage disposal, and I'm going to
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: crank that on.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Boom.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. So very happy. That's what
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the Bills said. They're very happy with the stadium and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: everything about the stadium here. And that quote belongs in
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the PR Hall of Fame right next to, we have
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: complete confidence in our head coach and the general manager
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: and the vision of the franchise. Meanwhile, the anonymous player
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: who declared, quote, the field is ass right now in Buffalo,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the deep throat of Kentucky bluegrass, whoever that is, they
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: deserve an honorary degree. in turf management from the sod father,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: George Toma, the legendary groundskeeper. I think he's still alive.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: He's got to be close to 100 at this point.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: And so this guy knew exactly what he was talking about,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the field ass guy, the ass right now guy. So
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: send that man a formal apology and a nice basket
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: of some fruit. Or chocolates, if you want. You can
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: send him chocolates if you want. It's fine. It is
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show. If you'd like to be part,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: you can join us right now.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: 877-99 on Fox.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: That's 877-996-6369. Bunch of roster moves in the NFL. I
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: didn't get too worked up in it. And the reason
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't get too worked up in it is because
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of the fact that a lot of moving parts still,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a bunch of these changes are not official. And there'll
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: be other changes that take place in the coming days.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to wait until everything's locked in stone.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: And then I'll have a nuclear meltdown. I got burned
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: in years past. and I've learned my lesson. You live
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and learn. It all worked up, and then they bring
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: somebody back who they release. It's like Odell Beckham made
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the Giants 53-man roster, but did he really make the roster?
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: What if the Giants acquire a wide receiver? Then they
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: get rid of him. Now, we mentioned in a previous
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: hour that Bill Belichick And North Carolina, after a 1-0 start,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: they went to Dublin. They knocked off TCU in a
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: dominant defensive performance by Bill Belichick. What does that mean, though,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: going forward? A very prominent figure has chimed in on
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the future of Bill Belichick. We'll get to that. Also,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: we found Tony Romo's doppelganger over the weekend. Did you
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: see Tony Romo's doppelganger? You did not? All right, well,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: we'll tell you about that. We'll get to all of that,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and we will do it! Next. However. Oh, yeah. Let's
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: go back. You talk about performing on the Vegas Strip.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: And as far as I'm concerned, we were on the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Vegas Strip. We had a live show. There was singing.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: There was dancing at the Mallard Mean Great. It is
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the A Block. Let's go to the Lorena Theater back

• 22:18
  Speaker 1: name the restaurant, but, man, it's like the top restaurant
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: in Vegas he happens to... So good. I thought he
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: was full of crap, and it turns out he wasn't
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: full of crap. It was actually really, really good. Anyway,
• 22:33

• 23:02
  Speaker 1: You can say hello to her. FSR Tech. Hi, Bill.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: And in the producer's chair. Big morning producer. Slumming with
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the overnight crew. Our friend Patty. Hey.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Patty Maler.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Speaks with a Z. You can find him on X,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: say hello. And they get to both to hang out for,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: they get to hang out for hours and hours later on.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: So they're not, they're not going anywhere. They are not
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: going anywhere at all. And I did see a long night. No,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. Supermarket Steve says
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I counted 19 females to 29 males. Ben's wife and
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: other lady were taking pictures. So that's 21 to 29 ratio.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: At the Malamigri. There were a lot of women at
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: the Malamigri. I was surprised, you know, normally. There are
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: more women in the militia than we realize. Yeah, there
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: actually are. And I mentioned this earlier, but I love
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the babushkas that show up that I don't think are
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: big sports fans, but just listen anyway for whatever reason.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: And it's pretty cool. So it was nice to see
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: everyone that came out there. And the photo, actually, I
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: used 18 different filters on it. It looks pretty good, though.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Looks pretty good with all the filters. It looks bright.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: You can kind of see everybody. Most people are looking
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: towards the camera. There's a few people that are not looking,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: which is to be expected. So there's that. What else
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: do we have? Let's see. Page Dan. David says, Ben,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: you should do a meet and greet in El Paso, Texas.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: He says, at a place called Kings. I've never heard
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: of that. He says, have you ever been there? No,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I've not. I have not been to El Paso, although
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: there's a great old country song about El Paso that
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: is not really related to this at all. All right,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: let's go to the phones. It is a call-in show,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and let's see. Who do we have? Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Pick a caller by their name, and let's say hello
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: to Moving Man Matt. It says on my board. Let's
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: find out. Hello, Moving Man Matt. I haven't heard from
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: him in a while. Hello, Matt.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Welcome.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Hey, that's him. I hear it. That's him.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: So I'm very disappointed, Ben. I had some truck work
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: I had to get done. I wasn't saying anything, but
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I was originally scheduled to be in Vegas on Saturday.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: And shoulda, coulda, woulda.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: This is now, I believe, the second time this has happened.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: This is unfortunate.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Both times I just missed the Vegas thing.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: That's unfortunate.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Very upset about it. I do have some breaking news.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Breaking news. Breaking news from the moving man. Hopefully this
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: does not involve anything negative about your lovely dog. Everything's
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: good there with Louie.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: So we have the original Mallard billboard. Then we got
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the new and improved Mallard billboard with the big sleeper. With,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: you know, the Mallard-branded trailer.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Clearly, very important. Very important, yes.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Not one, not two. We now have three Mallard-branded trailers.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah! We're taking over the highways and byways. Well, I'm not,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: but moving man Matt, his moving empire. And I need photos.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: When you see the moving mobile Mallard billboard out on
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the highways and byways of North America, I need photographs
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: from that thing parked on the Jersey Turnpike or out
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: somewhere in Nebraska. I want to see photos.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: I need.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: How great is this? And we should go on a
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: road trip. We can broadcast. We'll get a satellite hookup.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and we'll just broadcast from different cities. We'll do like
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: a whistle stop tour, but we'll do a moving man
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Matt style where we'll just go and we'll help him move,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and then we'll do the show from wherever we end up.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: It's a great idea.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: I like it. I don't even want to do the
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: moving anymore. We can just hang out.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll just hang out. That's it. We'll just hang out.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: You probably know where all the great truck stops are
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: around the country. You've traveled so much, right? You know
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: where all the good spots are. We'll stop by and
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: enjoy ourselves, and it'll be amazing.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Speaking of El Paso, I just spent a night in
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: El Paso. Uh, you know, it's not like the old
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: days where you used to see the Cadillac man and
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: go over a Juarez. You got to worry about coming
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: back in a box if you do that now.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: And not a, not a box with wrapping on it.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Just a box. Just a, that's it. Well, David says
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: we should go to El Paso though. He says, Hey,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: you gotta come to El Paso. I'm down for that one.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: We've been invited. You ever been to El Paso?
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: No.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Lorena?
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: No.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Do you know where El Paso is? Yeah, it's in Texas. Oh,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: look at you. You're a sharp cookie. It's somewhere over
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: by San Antonio. Austin. Dollars. Biscuits. It's in Texas, but
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: what state is it near? This is Geography with Lorena. Oh,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: like inside of Texas? Well, there's a state that's right
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: next to outside of Texas. That's right real close. Is
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: it Louisiana?
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: No.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Are we going to the left or to the right?
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: It's on the other side. That's right.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: So then we're going back the other way. What's on the-
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: New Mexico. Oh, look at that. Unbelievable. Amazing. Listen, I'm
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: sometimes smarter than a fifth grader. I understand. Well, we
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: did play that game for a while. It's right at
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: the very tip there. If you look at the map-
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I was a cheater. And it's in Texas, but it's
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: kind of not in Texas. You look at the map and- Well,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: everything all right other than that? The truck getting some
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: work done? That's awesome. Three Maller billboards now.
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: Three Maller billboards.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: And now we also, part of the work that was
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: done on the Maller billboard, and Louie is a major
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: fan of this, we installed new seats with undercarriage blowers.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, keep you comfy.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: Nice.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Louie likes it. Louie likes it.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Nice. He wants to.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Come see Lorena. He keeps talking about Lorena.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Come on by.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, Louie.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Let me come give you an ear scratch. We still
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: have some dog hair from the last time Louie was here,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: so we'll do that. All right. Thank you, bud.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I'm heading into San Diego today. I'll be in the
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: area for a couple weeks.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know when I'll show up.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: All right. Come by. Let us know. All right. There
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: he goes. The great moving man. He's in California, driving
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: around there. And he's got the three mobile Mallard billboards.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: That's the only advertising we have. They don't even include
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: our show when they do the promotion and the trades.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: They cut us out. Well, that's the only promotion. We
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: got to get it. And that's from him. Let's go
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to the phones again. Let's see. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Marcel in Brooklyn. Hello, Marcel. Welcome.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: All good morning. Ben, Lorena, and the real one, Patrick.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: You and Ben are not just for fake men, but
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: the real men.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Now, hold on a sec. How do we know that
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Patty is the real one? How do we know that?
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Patrick Starr from SpongeBob. He's a best friend of the kids' show.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Heck yeah. Do you believe that we were able to
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: afford a character from SpongeBob? Do you believe that?
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: That's right. How many years did you do that show,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: by the way, Patrick? You were on there for several years, right? Yes, several.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Several years there, yeah. Is that your favorite character? Do
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: you feel honored, Marcel, to talk to a star from SpongeBob?
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, it is.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: You sound overwhelmed. You sound absolutely overwhelmed. You're fascinating, Marcel.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: We were talking about you at the meet and greet.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Everyone loves you.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: Yes, it is.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Unless I'm lying. I might have been making that up
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: that everyone loves you. But they did talk about you,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and it's important to be talked about. They wondered, when
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: are we going to see Marcel? And I said, did
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I not offer to come to pick you up and
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: take you out to lunch in Brooklyn? And you rejected me.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Is that correct?
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, no, no, no.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: Bad job by me.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: That is not good a way for it or rejected
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: instead on your Mallard meet and greet. It's a wonderful
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: tradition instead.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Why don't we do a meet and greet? How about this?
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: How about this? We do a meet and greet in
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: your apartment in the projects in Brooklyn. How about that?
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Put me in.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: So you will host us?
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Sold. Sold.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Lorena, what do you think? We'll go over, we'll hang out.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I think it's a brilliant idea. I've got to go
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: during the day. You don't want to go there at night,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: but we'll go there during the day and we'll hang out.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: We'll have a great time. I'll bring some snacks. What's
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: your favorite snack, Marcel?
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Ooh, snack?
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Give me some chips.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: What kind of chips, though?
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Sour, cream, and onion.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: That's a good choice. You like ruffles? You like Lay's?
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: What do you like?
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: Give me some ruffles.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: And lays both.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, you are such a pig. You want both.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: Yes, it is.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: Speaking of picks, I have the food picks coming up. Also,
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen, the return of the player of the
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: day from Major League Baseball.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, player of the day. Okay.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: Who is going to be? We'll find out.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's go. Let's see here. Food pics. Caller, you're
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: on the air with food pics. Hello, Caller.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: Yes, play along with me, folks. So let's get into it.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Caller. Is this the guy who's jealous of the leprechaun
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: because he beat him in the first round?
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: You know what that means.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: The answer is in!
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: Might be any car!
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Can't you guys get along? Can't you guys get along?
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Come on now. I would like to give him an
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: olive branch, but he won't accept it. Marcel, will you
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: accept a peace treaty offer from our friend?

  Speaker 1: Okay. All right.

  Speaker 1: Congratulations. All right. People were asking about the Leprechaun, too,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: at the meet and greet. I didn't know what to say.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: That's not the real kind there, but this is ain't
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: the mixed match after all.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: All right, calm down. Oh, I was going to go
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to Seuss dog, but I don't see Seuss dog, unfortunately, there.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Seuss dog is a real one, not the fake one.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I think you had, let's see, I fasted yesterday because
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I went a little too big in Vegas, but I
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: think the last meal that I had was a chicken parm,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: so I think you had some chicken parm.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: I give you the.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: Chicken parm with the word chicken and a mix match.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: It is, my friend. All right. A little chicken parmigiana.
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: All right. What about you, Marina?
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: Same thing with me and Ben.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I think you went to barbecue and you had a
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: jalapeno cheddar sausage, brisket, ribs, burnt end sandwich, and a
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Bloody Mary. That sounds like everything. You just ordered everything.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: That is not the mix match with the word chicken,
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: aren't you?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Darn it. All right, well, Patty, this big star, we
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: somehow got him, voiceover actor.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Go right ahead for you, buddy.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: You had barbecue chicken wings, Marcel. That's what you had.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: You know what that means.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: What, what, what?
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Reveal answers.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: Chicken parmigiana.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, chicken parmigiana. And Christopher Sanchez from the Phillies. I
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: think Pascal Siakam is the player of the night. That's
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: what I think.
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: That's not the one who said it. I tried to
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: say it, but the word Pascal Siakam, not the word
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: with the U in it.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about, Marcel. It was
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: during the NBA Finals. Toronto was playing Golden State, and
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: you clearly said it.
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. That's from many years ago instead.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: But Toronto Raptors, for him, eliminated.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, thank you. There you go. Pascal, see
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: you come. Very nice. Well, we are moments away. Well,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: that was a wonderful segment. We'll not save that. for
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame nomination. Time now for, oh, this
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: is great. We're going to have the Mallard Militia Feud.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I did want to mention Ocho Cinco. Chad Johnson was
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: asked about Bill Belichick possibly coming back to the NFL.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Says that there's no chance. Belichick will never return to
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the NFL. He claimed because the players are overly sensitive
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: in this younger generation. But isn't Belichick coaching younger players
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: than NFL players at North Carolina? And anyway, he says
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Belichick expects players to accept harsh criticism. And they're not
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: doing that. Also, the Tony Romo doppelganger. Your first act
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: is new Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen ending up arrested
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. A Tony Romo situation, OWI. Although this one,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: it seemed like his car was parked in a no
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: parking zone area. And I guess he might have fallen
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: asleep or something like that. But if you're in your
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: car drunk, you don't want to have the car on
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and you want to have the keys like in the
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: trunk of the car. Otherwise, you're cooked. He faces a
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: misdemeanor charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Former charger
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Keenan Allen ending up in the blotter. And then there
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: was video of him trying to avoid the media there
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: as he tried to get away from the car. Police station.
• 36:20

  Speaker 1: It sounds like a high school team. Yeah, you're coaching
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: high school, and you don't even believe that. So screw that, Dolphins.
