  Speaker 2: This is the best of the Ben Maller Show on
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We begin. Let's see. Should I talk about baseball, basketball?
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Play the hits, my man. Play the hit. Don't bury
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the lead. So we head now to Australia. We go
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to the future. That's right, the future. Now, I was
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a little concerned. I was watching the Netflix broadcast, which
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: was just terrible. The actual broadcast was fine. I don't
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: know who does the hiring over there. Holy crap. What
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: are you doing? More on that later. I'm watching the game,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and they kept calling it, like, they didn't call Melbourne
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: what I thought. They called it by something else. I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: was confused. Like, what were they doing? I didn't really
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: understand it. Anyway, I don't know if you watched it
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: or not. The NFL continuing their barnstorming movement here.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: They love basketball.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Like they're missionaries in the church of football going out
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and spreading the gospel of pigskin to people that really
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: don't give a rat's ass about the product. And yet
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: they do it. And there they were traveling down hours
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and hours and hours and 8,000 miles away to have
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: more football. So the Rams went down under and it's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: appropriate because their performance was about six feet under. at
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: least there on Netflix, as Brock Purdy. Brock, Brock, Brock.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Brock Purdy had not one, not two, but three touchdowns
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to different 49er receivers. I'm told that's good. And the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Niners routed or rooted the once-proud Los Angeles Rams, who
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: have their tails between their legs right now. 27-7 in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a game that was already played on Friday, even though
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: we watched it on Thursday. The first NFL regular season
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: game in Australia. Keep in mind, nobody in Australia asked
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: for the NFL. The NFL just said, hey, listen. We
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: can get some of those bloody Roos to give us
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: their money, so we'll try that. And that was that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Purdy had a modest stat line, a modest stat line.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: That's code for not all that great. 205 yards passing
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: against what was supposed to be one of the great
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: defenses in the NFL. Well, the Rams, defensively... Got a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: lot of reps in because they couldn't get the Niners
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: off the field often on third down at the Millburn
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Cricket Ground. They said there were 100,000 people there. 100,000 people.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: The seventh largest regular season crowd in NFL history. 100,000
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: people watched that game. That's what they claim. And you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: NFL math is a spinoff of Mahler math. It's a
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: version of math, but Not necessarily completely accurate. Now, if
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you've heard the show over the years, you know we
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: have a mantra here. A rat-a-tat-tat to how we do
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: these things. And I have said long, long ago, and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I continue to maintain my position. I'm not the first.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not the last. However, the better story is in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the losing locker room. And there's a lot of losers
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: in that Ram locker room. We hear from, let's start
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: with Sean McVay. McVay here, the head coach there. They
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: had all the answers there to the tests until they
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: changed the test at the last minute. Here is McVay
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: pointing out, well, blame me. I'm the guy. Blame me.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Here's McVay.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: First of all, congratulations to the 49ers. They outplayed us
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: in every facet. I didn't do nearly a good enough job.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: This is a humbling day for us. And this will
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: define us only if we allow it to. And today
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: was one of those days. You know, I always look
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: inside out. I didn't do a good enough job getting
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: us ready to go. There were some opportunities where maybe
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: the game could have flipped, but they deserve the win.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: They were ready to go, and we'll look at it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: We'll see where we can improve and be better moving forward.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: But this is a good, humbling day. This is what
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: can sometimes happen in sports. I love this locker room. And,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: you know, the first thing that I'm going to look
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: at is myself, and I have to do a better
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: job for our group collectively, with our coaches, with our players,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: and we'll look at this film. And we'll get back
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: to work because clearly that's obviously what we've got to do.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: And sometimes sports can humble you. And today was one
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: of those days I make no excuses. And, you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: whether you want to say it's about travel, whatever, we
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: just weren't good enough in that window. I didn't coach
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: good enough. And we'll look at it and we'll move forward.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: And that's where we're at right now. But it was
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: a great atmosphere. Give credit to the 49ers. They deserve it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: And we're all in one and we'll move forward.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, so it was a version of, hey, it starts
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: with me. I didn't coach good enough. He tossed in
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the good humbling day. Good humbling day. And you know, well,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: we'll get into it. We'll just use that as a
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. So let us discuss the question. You
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: just heard Rams coach Sean McVay. He said, make no excuses.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Kind of made an excuse there at the end. for
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the Rams' performance in Australia, and that this was a good,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: humbling day for his football team. How do you interpret that?
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So I've got my thoughts here. I've got armpits, eggalicious,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and Carl's Jr. And we will combine all of these
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: things together, and we are going to get our hands dirty.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Something the Rams didn't do, get their hands dirty. They
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: just didn't. Oh, my God. So Sean McVay serving up
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: what we call the potluck dinner of loser coaching cliches,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a version of it starts with me. We've got to execute.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Watch the tape. I love my guys. That whole thing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: My advice, rather than watch the tape, I would burn it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I tell I tell it. Australia has no extradition treaty.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: We're leaving the tape there. in Australia, and I called
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the loss humbling, and Grandma checked, and Grandma called it
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: an old-fashioned butt-smacking is what Grandma called it, because that's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: what the Niners did. They were the more aggressive team.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: They were the more physical team. They were the better
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: coach team. And all offseason, Sean McVay's Rams have been
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: treated like royalty, like the greatest invention since sliced bread.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: In here talking about sliced bread. Cue Jimbo Fisher. So
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: against a division rival, granted, you didn't feel like that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: 8,000 miles away against San Francisco, though. They were the Rams.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: They were the moldy heel of the beanball bread. Nobody
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: wants that. Nobody wants that. They believe clearly on some level,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: whether this was the only variable or not, it is
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: one of the variables that they believe the hype that
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: They could go out there and just roll out on
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the field and that's it. And so they believe the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: hype so completely, apparently, that they practically arrived expecting the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: 49ers to genuflect and take a knee. And the Lombardi
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: would be waiting at the baggage claim on carousel number four.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: And instead, it turned out the Rams flew, what, 8,000
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: miles from L.A. to Australia to discover apparently they're not
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: quite as wonderful as they've been told by the mainstream
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: elites in the football media. Sean McVay, what I took
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: away from this is he's kind of subtly saying and
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: not saying it directly because these guys never say things directly.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay is like, well, you know, the Rams got
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: caught navel-gazing and they were They were tongue kissing the mirror.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you tongue kiss the mirror. They
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: were smelling their own armpits. And I wouldn't even say
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: they were humbled. I don't think the Rams were humbled.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: They were publicly pantsed on another continent. That's how that was.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: And as far as all the coaches say, well, you lose,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you lose, you learn from this. If teams actually learn
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: from losing. The Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and the Arizona Cardinals would be the gold standard in
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: football because they've had more life lessons from being losers
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: than anyone else. It's all bull crap. It's all bull crap.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: You know it and I know it. And so, listen,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I've got buddies of mine that are Niner fans. Good
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: for them. Hey, they handed the San Francisco, handed the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Rams a reality check with insufficient funds stamped across it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And forget humble pie. That wasn't humble pie. The 49ers
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: hit them in the face with the whole Pineapple King Bakery.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Right in the face. Right there. Boom. Now, page two.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: The much ballyhooed debut of the greatest player in the NFL.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: That's what Mike Tomlin called this guy. So the question,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: how would you describe edge rusher Miles Garrett's debut in
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a Rams uniform? So I watched. I didn't get nothing
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: else going on. I didn't get no life during the week.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I'm watching this game, and I'm locked in there, you know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and I didn't have much else going on. I'm just
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: doing my thing, me and my dog Moxie. And, you know,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: watching the game, and I was like, maybe he missed
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the game. Is it possible? I was thinking in my
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: head as I was watching the game, I was like, well,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, maybe he stayed back with Aaron Donald and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: they were playing like rock, paper, scissors. Or tic-tac-toe or
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: something like that? No, I don't think that happened. So seriously,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: did anybody actually see him? Did you see Miles Garrett
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: on the field? You didn't either? Okay. Because from where
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I was sitting, again, with my dog Moxie on the sofa,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett started his Rams career like he was a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: personal trainer. It was a cardio game. And not even
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a good cardio game. So the Rams flew this man
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: all the way around the world to Australia so he
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: could become a tourist. but not even a good tourist.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: His absolute biggest contribution to the Rams roster in his
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: first game as a Ram, Miles Garrett, was simply helping
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the L.A. football team meet the minimum requirement of having
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: 11 warm bodies on defense. That's it. Although it seemed
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: like they were playing 10 on 11 because of his impact.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: We have an NFL insider. Everyone's got an NFL insider.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Our NFL insider, we had budget cuts, but we have
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the Joker from Batman. And we asked our NFL insider,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the Joker, and checked the numbers here. And so it
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: was determined that Miles Garrett gave the Rams zero, zip, zilch.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: And nada.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: That was his performance. And forget affecting the quarterback. Miles Garrett,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: he couldn't even affect the box score. It was eggalicious.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett served up farm-fresh, cage-free goose eggs. On the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: international stage. Yeah, that's right.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: You.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: You popped up in the box score as much as
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. I popped up in the box score. He
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: didn't show up. He didn't show up. So that blockbuster
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: trade with the Browns and you're expecting the monster, the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: monster mash. But boy. He reminded me of Romeo Dobbs
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: with the Patriots. At least Romeo Dobbs got the ball.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: He dropped it. He didn't stop interception. But Miles Garrett, nothing. Nothing.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: And so they went out and traded the Rams for
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a monster who decided to take a nap. And that's that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: So the Rams, they thought they were getting Godzilla, and
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: they received a gecko. In shoulder pads. I don't think
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that was the Geico Gecko. I don't know what that was.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: All right, now, last word. Putting a bow on this.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Putting a bow on this. Now, Matthew Stafford. Let's hear
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: from Stafford. One of the big storylines with the debate
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: going into this game was the travel and the 49ers
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: got there early. They were hanging out. They were getting
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: involved in the local community there in Australia. The Rams
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: took the opposite approach. They went out, and they talked
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to all the smartest people in the rooms, and they said, oh, man,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: what are we doing? And all the nerds and the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: geeks and the dorks all got together, and they said, well,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: just leave it the last possible minute. Okay, you're smart.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: You got a lot of those educational things, so we'll
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: do that. Why not? Okay, how'd that work out? Here's
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford asked about the travel and if that factored in.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Take a listen. I don't.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: You know, I think when the ball is kicked off,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: we're ready to go play.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: We just didn't do it at a high enough clip today.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: All right, now I'm going to be Benny Brightside here.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I am going to be Benny effing Brightside. I'm not
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: just some negative gas bag. Benny effing Brightside. All right,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: so any positives, any positives to take away from the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Rams getting smashed by the Niners? Yeah, so the 49ers
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: here treated the Rams... like a Carl's Jr. Western bacon cheeseburger, charbroiled.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But thank God, and I'm very positive here, that the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: circadian rhythm survived. So all the hubris about consulting the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: world's top sleep experts and chartering the greatest plane ever
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: made by man to fly to Australia. And it turns
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: out none of those doctors, not a single one of
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: those sleep experts, is... has any experience playing in the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: nfl right they don't have any experience in that uh
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and and they also have no experience with getting your
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: ass kicked internationally the rams lost the football game but
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: according to the scientists they absolutely dominated bedtime so there's
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: a net positive they were rested refreshed and fully alert
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the rams for their own execution very impressive It was
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a total zombie apocalypse, except these zombies had excellent REM
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: sleep scores. Way to go, boys. Hey, might have lost
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the game. We kicked ass at sleep. We kicked ass
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: at no jet lag. No jet lag. There you go.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Glad they nailed the schedule. Would have been really terrible.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: had the Rams gotten blown out while they were tired
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: rather than getting blown out while they were fully awake.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: That would have really sucked. Another positive? I think we
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: ought to give it up to the Rams defensive coordinator
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: in the lineage of Don Shula, Chris Shula. who completely,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and nobody's talking about this. I don't understand why people
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: are talking about this. Chris Shula and that Ram defense
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: completely neutralized 49ers viral wide receiver Dijon Love. I looked
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: at the box score. Dijon Love had no catches. He
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: had no yards. Squadouche! All right? Now, sure, it's true
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that Dijon Love doesn't actually exist outside of social media
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: and some dumb women that send him money. But yet,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you take the victories where you can find them. Right?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: The Rams, they didn't beat the 49ers. Obviously, they didn't.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: But they won the sleep number performance challenge on getting
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the most quality sleep. So, hey. Upward and onward.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Great.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Come on. Wonderful. Way to go, boys. Way to go.
• 16:38

  Speaker 1: this hour is from Australia. That's right. More on the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Game 2 matchup. Game 2 matchup as the 49ers and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the Rams went at it. And if you saw this game,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you know it was not much of a game in
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: terms of competition here. The much-celebrated Ram defense allowed the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Niners to convert to on almost 60% of their third downs,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: keeping possession of the ball for some sustained drives. If
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you look at the 49er offense, they started the game
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: with a 15-play, 65-yard drive. They only got a field
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: goal out of that. They held on to the ball
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: for seven minutes of game time, controlling methodically, converting on
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: third down. So they got a field goal on that drive.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: They also had an 11-play drive, a 9-play drive, And
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the Rams, on the other hand, they only had one
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: somewhat meaningful drive. They had a 12-play, 72-yard drive, and
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: they ended up turning the ball over on downs because
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, for some reason, they'd keep... I don't know
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: why they would even think about running a quarterback keep,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: but the guy can't... He can't move like that, and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: yet McVay called it. Dum-da-dum-dum-dum! And it got stonewalled at
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the goal line. The Niners' defensive... front held and that's
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: that so that was it and then the Rams had
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a drive and garbage time that also was 10 plays
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: but that doesn't really count that doesn't really count so
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the Niners win 27 to 7 and while normally the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: better story is in the losing locker room we are
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: going to focus on the winning side as I blatantly
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: suck up to all of our listeners in Northern California
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: so there you go this is for you this is
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: for Ernesto And Jay Scoop and all the big Niner fans.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: All the big fans of the show that love the Niners.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: So that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the question. How big was this 49er win for Kyle
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Shanahan and company as they get her done and knock
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: off the ramp? So my observations on this, I've got
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Operation Repo, Gift Basket, and Bounty Napkin. And we will
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: combine all. all of these things together. And you and
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I are going to have a date with destiny when
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny returns shortly. We always start with
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: number one.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: Number one.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: One, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one. Number one.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: So the Rams are, whether you like it or not,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the measuring stick in the NFL. They are the bar. Now,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: right now, that is a low bar to clear. It's
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: not a high bar. It's a low bar. The Rams,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: as the measuring stick in the NFL going into the season,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and make no mistake, for the 49ers, this was a
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: placement test. And San Francisco walked out of Australia. They
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: boarded their jet back to America with a puffy sticker
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and a juice box on Not just a puffy sticker.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Not just a juice box. They got both. They got both.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: How about that? Yeah. They didn't just beat L.A. The
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: 49ers went Operation Repo is what they did. The Niners
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: were Repo Men. And they actually... And I didn't show this.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: For some reason on Netflix, they didn't show this. But
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: they repossessed the hype machine from the Rams. And then
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: they changed the locks on it. Now... Brock Purdy's getting
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of love. He had three touchdown passes and
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: a passer rating of over 100, and people are fired
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: up about Brock Purdy and all that. Well, I will
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: be the voice of reason here. I reached my boiling
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: point when I kept seeing all this amazing commentary about
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: how Brock Purdy shoved it down the Rams' throats and
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: all that. Purdy was obviously not Joe Montana. He wasn't
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Steve Young. He wasn't Jeff Garcia. He was Mr. Checkdown
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: with a hall pass. Brock Purdy averaged six yards per throw.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: This is not some kind of aerial warfare by the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: 49er offense. It's essentially going house to house and putting
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: flyers on everyone's door, house to house. He dinked and dunked.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: He threw an interception and still ended up using enough
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: paper cuts to beat the Rams. And it was essentially
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: football oatmeal that Brock Purdy was serving up, and the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Rams choked on the oatmeal. And to think about the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Niner franchise, they had that 11-day scandal with Kyle Shanahan,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the faux accident. the police cover-up, and a lot of
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: funny business, right? That's definitely not kosher, what was going
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: on with Shanahan. It makes you wonder, why would you
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: not release the video? What are you hiding? Why did
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: you wait 11 days? The NFL has been known to
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: cover a lot of things up over the years, so
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you wonder if there was some payouts that took place.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You don't know for sure. And so
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: that happened, radio silence for 11 days, and then the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: gold standard, the billionaire owner, looking to get a little
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: nookie in a double-wide trailer at an Ohio mobile home
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: park there. And the 49ers, so they desperately needed a
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: normal night, or I guess a normal morning, because this
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: game was played at 1030 in the morning there in
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Australia at local time, and they got it. It's alarming
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: for the Rams. It is a booster shot for the 49ers' confidence,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: and the Niners will be fine if everyone stays out there.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Of course, the NFL injury rate is 100%, so Check
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: back midseason when McCaffrey's dinged up and Bosa's out and
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Warder's got a bump over here and Brock Purdy misses
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: a couple of games. And then we'll see how the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Niners are at that particular point. Now, one of the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: other teams that you got to look at in the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: NFC West would be in the Pacific Northwest. So we hop, skip,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and jump to Seattle. We have a follow-up update. Follow-up update.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: The injured Seahawks quarterback, Sam Darnold. Sam Darnold will be
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: right back on the field this upcoming weekend for week
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: two of the NFL. No. Sam Darnold is expected to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: miss at least week number two. The Seattle football team
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: has a bye. They play Arizona. Play Arizona, which is
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: not a real NFL team. Darnold went out with a
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: right hip injury. If you saw the game on Wednesday night,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: you know that. Now, despite the news that Darnold's going
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to miss at least one game, Mike McDonald had a
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: farm EIEIO, and Mike McDonald called the MRI results, quote, really,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: really good news. Really, really good news. He said that
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Darnold's hip is intact. So apparently he didn't leave it
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: on the field. He did not lose his hip while
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: he was playing football against the Patriots. So Darnold's hip
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: is intact, and the injury appears to be a muscular
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: problem rather than a structural problem, meaning the pillar of
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the hip. Darnold did spend the night resting comfortably at
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a Seattle area hospital after experiencing a large amount of discomfort.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: So McDonald said the Seahawks don't yet know exactly how
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: long Sam Darnold will be sidelined. But we're hearing whispers
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: around the echo chamber that he's likely going to miss
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: more than one game. And they say, well, he'll be
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: back sooner rather than later. And then there was a
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: quote going around by the coach that they dodged a
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: bullet Okay. So, question. You got the coach, Mike McDonald,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: who said the Seahawks got, quote, really, really good news
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: on Sam Donald, even though he's going to be out. So,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: how did you process this? How did you process this? So...
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: On this one, Seattle is ringing the church bells because
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold did not get sentenced to injured reserve. Congratulations. Congratulations.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: They have diagnosed nothing, right, in terms of the prognosis.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I should phrase that differently. They have a diagnosis, but
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: they don't have a prognosis. which is seemingly the part
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: that tells you when the players are going to come back. So, again,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: they have a diagnosis. They don't have a prognosis. And
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: muscular rather than structural is NFL medical jargon. It's the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: kind of gift-wrapped, gift basket, happy talk slop that you get.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Teams shovel this happy talk slop into little baskets. And
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: the actual answer is we have no effing idea. We
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: don't know. And then he tossed in a sooner rather
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: than later, which is beautiful. Put that right next to
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: day to day, which is also classic in the Museum
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of Meaningless Football Phrases. Now, if they initially feared, and
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: this is the chatter that Seattle thought this was a
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: grade three tear for Sam Donald. Now, I'm not a doctor.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express a few
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: days ago. So Sam Donald, they thought was a grade three.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: That would have meant he would have been out for
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: eight to 10 weeks at minimum, if not season ending,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: if not season ending. So They were thinking it was
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: a grade three, and now it's either a grade one
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: or a grade two. The hammy, did it go whammy?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: So that's the deal on that. So Darnold could still
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: be out for one to five, well, he's obviously about
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: one week, but up to five weeks if it's a
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: grade two. So where I sit on this side of
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the microphone, despite all the propaganda from J.J. and Renton
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: and our buddy Nostradinus, I'm looking at this and I'm like, OK,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: so I don't think that's dodging a bullet. That's hearing
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: gunshots and realizing nobody has checked to see if there's
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: any holes in your body. So you got the backup,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke, who gets the football. And Seattle, as we mentioned,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: they've got a bye this week. They play the Cardinals,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: who are not trying to win. They've got them. And
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: so Washington, this is in week two, and they play
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders. which is a dumb name for a team,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: should be the Redskins. So they can send thank you
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: baskets to Arizona and Washington. Now, if you have to
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: wander into quarterback purgatory, at least you have scheduled a
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: minibar which is loaded, an absolutely loaded minibar. So that's good. Now,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: final point to a team we mentioned that's not trying
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: to win, and that's the Arizona football team. So Cardinals
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: coach Mike LeFleur said, Mike LeFleur, wonder how he got
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the job. Oh, that's right, his brother coaches the Packers.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: So Mike LeFleur is trying to ease concern about the
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: rookie star running back, Jeremiah Love, who suffered a high
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: ankle sprain in mid-August, the next great savior of the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: woe-be-gone Arizona Cardinals. Now, Love has not practiced or played
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: since the aforementioned injury, Although the Arizona rookie head coach
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: says he has begun moving around. Well, that's good. On
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: the practice field, LeFleur offered really no detail on what
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the plan was, describing the player, Jeremiah Love, as simply
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: progressing and saying that the picture should become clearer once
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: official practices begin, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, which I
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: believe they already have. asked directly about Love's chances of
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: playing week number one against the aforementioned Chargers. Number one.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: This Sunday night, LeFleur said, yeah, I feel good about that.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: He said, all right, close quote. Question. Do you believe
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: rookie Cardinals coach Mike LeFleur when he says he feels
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: good about Jeremiah Love, the next great running back in
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the NFL's chances of playing this weekend so this is
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: pure unadulterated coach speak gobble the gook built entirely around
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: what we like to call in these parts the holy
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: trinity of vagueness progressing and i feel good Yeah. This
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: show is progressing. It's progressing. The only way the show
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: goes backwards is when you download the podcast and then
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: you can rewind the show. In real time, the show
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: is progressing. And I feel good. The word progressing, one
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: of the great weasel terms in the English dictionary, a
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: corpse is technically progressing towards death. breaking apart into bite-sized
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: pieces and all that. Lorena was telling me a story
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: about it. She gave me a good corpse story earlier,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: so it was in my head here. as the body decomposes.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I feel good. That quote, I feel good,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: is not a medical diagnosis. It is in no medical journal.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I feel good. In fact, our old buddy Jed Who Fled,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: who I believe is currently not available to call the show,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Jed Who Fled felt great after a plastic baggie of
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the good stuff, but nobody was out there clearing him
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: out of the swampland in Florida. to take handoffs for
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the Buccaneers in the backfield. So the injury update, this
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: particular injury update, has the nutritional value of a soggy
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: bounty napkin. Yum, yum to my tum-tum. And at this point,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: NFL injury news conferences are not even updates anymore. They're not.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: They are just organized misinformation sessions set up in front
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: of a wall of microphones. Mike LeFleur is standing up
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: there slinging pure snake oil straight out of the Arizona
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Cardinals traveling medicines show around the country. So that's like
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: one guy I want to see is this guy Jeremiah Levese.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: He's got the name of a star. Do we all
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: agree on that? That's a name of a star, Jeremiah Love.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: It sounds like one of those fake names they'd come
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: up with. Back when Hollywood used to make movies that
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: were actually good and not just Marvel movies, that they
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: would come up with a script and they'd have that
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: star running back who went to Notre Dame and his
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: name is Jeremiah Love. Oh, man, that would be a
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: great name. They don't really do that anymore. I'm still
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: curious to see if this guy can be good. It's
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: very difficult to be a successful running back on a
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: dog food team because what happens... They box you up.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: They make the crappy quarterback, in this case, Jacoby Brissett,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: throw the ball, which leaves little room to run the ball,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: which becomes problematic.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific. Knock, knock.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: Who's there?
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Lame week.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Lame week who?
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: It's Big Ben's Lame Joke of the Week. And away
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: we go. We welcome in from Hollywood, Florida, friend of
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the show, and a man that has had really good
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: attendance for a long time. The one and only. His
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: name is Billy. We call him by his stage name,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Weed Man Hippie.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Wee!
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Hey, Bill, I love you.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: What's going on, Weed Man? I heard about that. I
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: heard he sent you some McDonald's. Is that correct? Yeah,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: what did he send you? He sent me McDonald's.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: He sent me a Big Mac and fries and soda.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: It's a classic American meal right there, yeah. He sent
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: me a steak from Outback Steakhouse.
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: He was great.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Wow, he sent you a steak? That's crazy. I'm going
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: to fat you up. Here we go, Weed Man. These
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: are actual jokes by actual listeners. What happens when someone
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: steps in a pile of dog poop on the sidewalk?
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: What?
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Well, that ruins Weed Man's dinner. That's John in Youngstown, Ohio.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: John's got some vicious jokes. What does Weed Man do
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: with a marijuana-infused potato?
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: What?
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: You bake it. That's from Eek in Roseville, Minnesota. All right.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Did you hear that Weed Man finally filled out a
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: job application? Wow, really? Yeah, yeah. Apparently under the job requirements,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: you wrote Weed Man, you want six figures, one hour
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: work week, no weekends, unlimited weed, and you're not available
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: during the Ben Maller show. Is that true, Weed Man?
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Is that accurate? All right.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Very funny.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: All right. I'm sure that was not from Lisa. Why
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: doesn't Weed Man drink alcohol? Why? Well, it turns out
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Weed Man likes to be high and dry. That's Surfer Todd,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: the comedian. And this one from George in Uvalde, Texas.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: He says, why did Weed Man hippie line up dolls
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: near his grill? Wow, why? Well, apparently he was preparing
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: for a barbecue party. Barbecue. Well, I don't know if
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: you heard about this, but Weed Man went to a
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: mindfulness class. How about that?
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Wow, really?
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Five minutes in, he said, wait, I've been
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: doing this my whole life, doing nothing. Now there's a
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: name for it? Yes. You definitely have been ahead of
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: your time on that, Weed Man. Sure. Again, not from Lisa.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Did you hear Weed Man? Weed Man became so close
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: to being hired for a job.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but then he heard that no job was
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: available because he was already high. He was already high. Mike, Mike,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Mike the Leprechaun. All right, what do we got? Some feedback. Now,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Lorena and Weed Man Hippie have an interesting cockroach connection.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: You hear about that?
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Hi, Lorena.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Hi, Weed Man.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: So Lorena, it turns out, runs with the cockroach. Weed
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Man creates the roaches. So there is that. There's a
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: connection to this. Mike the Leprechaun. All right, page down here.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: What happened when Weed Man Hippie tried to mix human
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: DNA with zebra DNA?
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: What?
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: They kicked you out of the zoo, unfortunately. I don't
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: know why. George in Uvalde, Texas. Why does Weed Man
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: like going to get his hair cut? Why? You like
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: catching a buzz. It's Andrew. There you go. What does
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: the X-Lax company say about Poppy's pics? Wow, what? They
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: say that's a lot of crap, is what they say.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: All right. What did the sexy cannibal say after her
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: date with Mike the Leprechaun? She said there was no
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: coffin at the funeral. That's the wrong punchline. I screwed
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: up the punchline. Oh, no. I'm sorry, Rosie.
• 37:00

  Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Marcel.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: A great toss, as always.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Ben, we're going to start at the cinema,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: as we always do here on Coop Scoop Entertainment.
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: Ben, the first movie that I want to talk about
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: that comes out this weekend is Practical Magic 2. Now,
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: I know you were a huge Practical Magic 1 fan, right, Ben?
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have the poster here in my studio.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: That's what I call it.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Movie poster.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be honest.
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: I didn't even really know that this was a movie.
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: The original came out in 1998. I guess it's labeled
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: as Fantasy Romance.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: It's a good movie.
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: You know, it stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, the original,
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: as well as.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I know who they are. They must be old.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I know who they are.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: And I believe they're witches, right? Is that right, Lorena? Yes,
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: and they have a family curse on them that any
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: man that they love or marry will die.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Witches with a W. I think most women have that.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: But yeah, go ahead.
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: So both Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are back in
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: this sequel. But they did recast the role played by
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: Evan Rachel Wood and is now going to be Joey
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: King because I guess Evan Rachel Wood's too old now, right?
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: They can make Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman seem younger
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: than they actually are, but They wanted the daughter to
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: just be, you know, in her.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: 20s, I guess.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Do we know the makeup budget for this?
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: It's probably enormous. But the sequel has not gotten good reviews.
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: Right now it sits at a 36 percent on from
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: the critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Another movie that I want
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: to point out is called The Uprising. Now, this one
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: stars Andrew Garfield of Spider-Man fame. And he is the
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: leader of a ferocious rebellion against the tyranny of King
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: Richard II, set against the true events of the uprising
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: that helped inspire the legend of Robin Hood. He forms
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: an army of the people.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, love it. Go out to the Sherwood Forest out there.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this one's got middling reviews.
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: And last but not least for the theaters is a
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: new movie called Hope. Now, my buddy saw this movie,
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: said it was fantastic. The critics and audiences agree so far.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: It is a Korean monster movie. So a police chief,
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: a policewoman, and a group of hunters try to track
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: down and kill a mysterious creature that's laying waste.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: They missed the opportunity. They should have had K-pop stars
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: kill the beasts. That's what they should have done.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: Who knows?
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: There might be some K-pop stars in this. I just
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: don't know. Actually, Michael Fassbender's in this, Alicia Vikander. There's
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: a couple names that I know, and then a bunch
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: of Korean names that I don't know.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: You a big K-pop guy? Not a K-pop guy.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: No, but I do like Korean cinema. It's good stuff.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: My buddy, one of my good friends is Korean, and
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: he was so pissed when he was growing up. There
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: was nothing like K-pop. And now there's all these Korean stars.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: He's so pissed. He's like, I would have been so popular.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: All the girls would.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Have liked me.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: It's not funny.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: It's a certain type of girl.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: All right. I hear you.
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: I hear you. Not that you wouldn't want that still,
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: but I'm just saying. All right. Moving over to television.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: On Monday, September 14th on NBC and Peacock.
• 40:48

  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. They're still doing that, huh?
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: Those are the television awards. And, you know, when these
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: come out, I like to run a couple by you.
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: I think it's more likely that you would have seen
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: or have heard of comedy series before drama, right, Ben?
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Go ahead. Give me a couple. All right.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: So let's see.
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: Do you know the show Abbott Elementary?
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: No, I've never heard of that. No idea.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: The Bear.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: I've seen a bear, but I've never heard of that show.
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: I have no idea.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: Hacks.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Hacks.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Hack? No.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: No. I have no idea what that is.

  Speaker 1: I have heard of that, but I've never seen it. Whoa, okay.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I have heard of that, but I've never seen it.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Well, you heard of one of them, so there we go.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: That's about where I've been the last couple years. I
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: got like one right usually.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. The last Oscars I think you did
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: pretty well. You had like a few.
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: Last but not least, the show Slow Horses on Apple
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: TV comes back on Wednesday for I think it's like
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: fifth season. One of my favorite shows on TV.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: This is great.
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: If you haven't been watching it, watch it. Slow Horses,
• 42:08
