- 0:11Speaker 1: two of the Ben Maller Show on this Tuesday, the
- 0:14Speaker 1: 15th day of September. Was the rage directed at Texas
- 0:18Speaker 1: quarterback Arch Manning for enjoying an AI video warranted? The
- 0:24Speaker 1: outrage army is up in arms there. Very upset with
- 0:27Speaker 1: Arch Manning. Also, how would you classify Mets owner Steve
- 0:31Speaker 1: Cohen telling Pete Alonzo, this is your home, prior to
- 0:36Speaker 1: him making his return to Citi Field as an Oriole?
- 0:40Speaker 1: And what does this Drew Brees workout with the Broncos
- 0:45Speaker 1: tale before the AFC title game tell us? As it
- 0:49Speaker 1: has been confirmed, there was a workout Brees contemplated coming
- 0:53Speaker 1: back for the Denver football team. And just one win
- 0:56Speaker 1: away from the Super Bowl. We'll talk about all that
- 0:58Speaker 1: and more. You get a second bite of the apple.
- 1:01Speaker 1: It's our number two.
- 1:08Speaker 2: A little red.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Meat for the always offended goofballs of society.
- 1:14Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 1:15Speaker 1: If you're easily offended.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 1:17Speaker 1: I'm so offended. I can't believe it. Welcome in the
- 1:22Speaker 1: beginning of another hour of the Ben Maller Show. We
- 1:27Speaker 1: are in the air everywhere. As we babble on. And
- 1:37Speaker 1: on and on, roaring with excitement, coast to coast, border
- 1:42Speaker 1: to border and beyond, on the vast and spiffily powerful
- 1:48Speaker 1: microphones of FSR emanating live from the smack, smack dab
- 1:56Speaker 1: in the middle of the night. Guaranteed human right here.
- 2:02Speaker 1: the world-famous Fox Sports Radio studios where Terry in England,
- 2:07Speaker 1: legally blind Christopher in London say, Mallor, give us the bull.

- 2:40Speaker 1: and his dog Louie who were very excited. because the
- 2:44Speaker 1: Giants won a game the other day, but they're more
- 2:46Speaker 1: excited because of DraftKings. The wait is over. Football is here,
- 2:50Speaker 1: and so is DraftKings. DraftKings is now live in all

- 3:12Speaker 1: college football here, and then this thing just popped up
- 3:14Speaker 1: right in my face. I had no choice. This is
- 3:16Speaker 1: such a good story. I had to talk about it.
- 3:19Speaker 1: It's a microcosm of the times we're in. So our
- 3:22Speaker 1: lead story now from Austin, Texas, the capital of the
- 3:26Speaker 1: Lone Star State. where the Longhorns moved into the top
- 3:31Speaker 1: spot in college football. They're in the catbird seat. If
- 3:34Speaker 1: you didn't see this year, they are the new number
- 3:37Speaker 1: one team in college football. The AP top 25 after
- 3:43Speaker 1: rallying back, playing bad football for three quarters, one good
- 3:46Speaker 1: quarter against the Buckeyes of Ohio State. So Texas ends
- 3:48Speaker 1: up at the top spot for what that's worth in
- 3:52Speaker 1: collegiate football there. And just in time, for Steve Sarkeesian's
- 3:57Speaker 1: team to be sucked into the vortex of controversy. Controversy.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Did you hear about this?
- 4:05Speaker 3: No?
- 4:05Speaker 1: Okay. The golden boy of college football, he's no longer
- 4:12Speaker 1: in the charm circle. What happened? Our beloved Arch Manning,
- 4:17Speaker 1: he's now a bad guy. Arch Manning became a bad guy.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Oh, no! No!
- 4:24Speaker 1: So the Texas quarterback, Arch Manning, what did he do? Please,
- 4:30Speaker 1: calm down. This is very offensive. I don't even know
- 4:34Speaker 1: if I'm allowed to say it on the radio. It's
- 4:36Speaker 1: that offensive. Arch Manning, 22 years old, college student, laughed
- 4:48Speaker 1: at an AI video. Why? Why would you do that, Arch?
- 4:54Speaker 1: Why would you laugh at something designed to make people laugh?
- 4:58Speaker 4: Why?
- 4:59Speaker 1: How could you do that? What's wrong with you?
- 5:04Speaker 3: Our heroes.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Breaking our heart. Yeah, so anyway. It's so stupid. It's
- 5:10Speaker 1: so stupid. There was a time, and every generation, you
- 5:16Speaker 1: go through life, and when I was growing up, my
- 5:19Speaker 1: parents would tell stories about stuff that didn't exist that
- 5:24Speaker 1: was in my world. And I can tell of a
- 5:27Speaker 1: world where there was a time that we just ignored
- 5:32Speaker 1: dumb people. Now dumb people have a megaphone and they
- 5:36Speaker 1: can bitch and complain about everything. That's the world we're
- 5:39Speaker 1: in right now. And for some reason, certain people listen
- 5:41Speaker 1: to dumb people. There's a lot of dumb people up
- 5:44Speaker 1: in arms right now. Arch Manning did laugh at an
- 5:47Speaker 1: AI generated video. depicting his coach Steve Sarkeesian slapping that,
- 5:54Speaker 1: what's her name, Holly Rowe, whoever that is, that annoying
- 5:57Speaker 1: sideline reporter. The clip was following Texas' comeback win over
- 6:02Speaker 1: the Buckeyes. You saw the game. You likely saw it
- 6:05Speaker 1: or heard about what happened. Sarkeesian essentially blew off the
- 6:09Speaker 1: customary post-game TV interview and ran away, gave the hook-em-horn
- 6:14Speaker 1: sign and ran away, and then that was that. So
- 6:17Speaker 1: Arch Manning... was asked about all the hullabaloo and all
- 6:21Speaker 1: that stuff, and he said he had seen a few
- 6:23Speaker 1: AI edits, and he laughed, and this is, again... Very
- 6:30Speaker 1: offensive for some. So he laughed at the Sarkeesian Hollyro video,
- 6:35Speaker 1: called it, quote, a good one. Oh, how could you
- 6:39Speaker 1: do that, Arch?
- 6:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:41Speaker 1: And said it was hilarious. Said it was hilarious. And
- 6:45Speaker 1: then the other thing that upset the mob there, the
- 6:49Speaker 1: other media people chuckled in the room. That was another
- 6:54Speaker 1: dagger right to the heart. Right to the heart. These poor,
- 6:58Speaker 1: tortured souls. So, of course, this triggered a bunch of critics,
- 7:03Speaker 1: people demanding apologies. And how could Texas allow this to happen?
- 7:08Speaker 1: The University of Texas, a dark day for the Longhorns.
- 7:12Speaker 1: All the usual bull crap these idiots come up with.
- 7:15Speaker 1: So that went on and that was a thing. And yeah,
- 7:20Speaker 1: so as of this hour, there have been no apologies whatsoever.
- 7:27Speaker 1: the mob saying it's a bad look for Arch Manning
- 7:31Speaker 1: to laugh at an AI video and for the University
- 7:34Speaker 1: of Texas. So that is a good jumping-off point. Let
- 7:37Speaker 1: us discuss. And the question, was the rage directed at
- 7:46Speaker 1: Texas quarterback Arch Manning enjoying an AI video warranted? So
- 7:54Speaker 1: I have the Selective Service System, Pigeon, and Madonna. And
- 8:02Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together, and we're
- 8:05Speaker 1: going to give you the ABCs and the 1, 2, 3s,
- 8:07Speaker 1: but we always start with number.
- 8:11Speaker 3: One.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Number one. 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1. Oh, yeah.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Number one. All right, so I'm obviously giving this whole
- 8:18Speaker 1: thing side eye, and this happens way too much. way
- 8:23Speaker 1: too much, where I see stories like this and I think, well,
- 8:26Speaker 1: this must be just nonsense, just absolute malarkey, and I'm
- 8:31Speaker 1: not going to use the story because it's fake. I
- 8:34Speaker 1: try to believe that we don't live in a world
- 8:36Speaker 1: where there's people living amongst us that overreact to things
- 8:39Speaker 1: like this, but yet here we are. So it's just
- 8:43Speaker 1: a sad testimony to how certain people are wired, which
- 8:47Speaker 1: is disappointing. So Texas survives Ohio State. Apparently, though, They
- 8:53Speaker 1: have fallen into a booby trap, Laughgate. They're now involved
- 8:59Speaker 1: in Laughgate. Now, I believe that most of this, if
- 9:03Speaker 1: not all of it, was just performative outrage. There are
- 9:07Speaker 1: people that make their living being outraged by things. And
- 9:11Speaker 1: of course, it's always selective outrage. And these people auditioning
- 9:16Speaker 1: to be the most offended person online. It's a urinating match.
- 9:20Speaker 1: I'm more offended than you. I've worked my entire life
- 9:22Speaker 1: to be in sports media. And these people laughed at
- 9:24Speaker 1: this radio, this woman being beat up. Well, it actually
- 9:27Speaker 1: was AI. Nobody got hit. No one was hit. It
- 9:30Speaker 1: was all fake, dummy. Yes. And if you were all
- 9:35Speaker 1: worked up about the NFL draft and where Arch Manning's
- 9:37Speaker 1: going to go and all that stuff, well, Arch Manning
- 9:40Speaker 1: got a taste of the draft, the selective service system,
- 9:44Speaker 1: and he was drafted into the battlefield. of the culture war.
- 9:48Speaker 1: They paused at the WNBA, so the culture war has
- 9:52Speaker 1: now moved to college football. And Arch Manning is the
- 9:57Speaker 1: marquee star of this particular battle royale of the culture war.
- 10:02Speaker 1: He accidentally stepped on a woke landmine. He did. He
- 10:08Speaker 1: stepped right on it. Congratulations, Arch. Way to go. You
- 10:11Speaker 1: have been handpicked as the star of the moral outrage
- 10:16Speaker 1: industrial complex. So offended by what you did. How dare you? Apparently,
- 10:22Speaker 1: we live in a world where a 22-year-old college kid
- 10:25Speaker 1: chuckling at a stupid AI video now requires some kind
- 10:29Speaker 1: of congressional inquiry.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Yes.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Dum-da-dum-dum-dum! I know. It's insane. So he laughed. Apparently someone
- 10:40Speaker 1: called 911, and the tone police showed up. They didn't
- 10:46Speaker 1: like the tone. Bothered by the tone. And they arrived
- 10:51Speaker 1: with the sirens blazing. They did. Now, the culture referees,
- 10:56Speaker 1: they threw a flag. And they determined it was unnecessary
- 11:01Speaker 1: amusement by Arch Manning. 15-yard automatic apology. Automatic apology for
- 11:07Speaker 1: Arch Manning. Got to do it. Now, Arch committed the
- 11:11Speaker 1: unforgivable sin of enjoying something that some branches of the
- 11:18Speaker 1: media decided he was not allowed to enjoy. And so
- 11:22Speaker 1: he must pay a price. Gotta pay a price. The
- 11:26Speaker 1: outrage machine does not require, does not require victims anymore.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Cause there's no victim.
- 11:32Speaker 5: It was AI.
- 11:33Speaker 1: It was a fake video. Anyone with any, even Marcel
- 11:37Speaker 1: in Brooklyn knows it was, it was ridiculous. And so
- 11:41Speaker 1: you don't need a victim. It just, they manufacture this wholesale.
- 11:47Speaker 1: And maybe the funniest part to me of the whole
- 11:50Speaker 1: thing is, And again, I thought it was fake. I thought,
- 11:53Speaker 1: I don't want to live in a world where these
- 11:54Speaker 1: people are amongst us. But they are. And just freaking
- 11:57Speaker 1: out about everything. And it's funny, a lot of the
- 11:59Speaker 1: female media, they're very upset about this. They were very
- 12:02Speaker 1: quiet about Diana Rossini making alleged whoopee with an NFL coach.
- 12:07Speaker 1: They didn't have a lot to say about that. But
- 12:09Speaker 1: this is very offensive, this AI video. Very upsetting here.
- 12:14Speaker 1: But I love watching the people online who pretend they
- 12:17Speaker 1: live in that world. Like that's their world, that online world.
- 12:20Speaker 1: And they pretend like they've never laughed at anything inappropriate
- 12:25Speaker 1: and demanding college quarterback stuff. not only play quarterback, but
- 12:30Speaker 1: then also work as a middle-aged corporate spokesman for Nabisco.
- 12:35Speaker 1: And as far as the other media people laughing at
- 12:39Speaker 1: what Arch Manning said, the greatest soundtrack, the greatest laugh track,
- 12:44Speaker 1: is awkward media people interviewing coaches and players. They will
- 12:50Speaker 1: literally laugh at anything.
- 12:53Speaker 5: Anything.
- 12:54Speaker 1: And very few athletes and coaches are funny. Most of
- 12:58Speaker 1: them are very boring people. They don't have anything interesting
- 13:00Speaker 1: to say. They're meatheads, most of them. And yet, in
- 13:03Speaker 1: front of a bank of microphones, they're the funniest people
- 13:07Speaker 1: in the world. Every one of these writers and the
- 13:09Speaker 1: radio guys and the TV people, they all laugh at everything.
- 13:12Speaker 1: It's the funniest thing in the world.
- 13:14Speaker 2: I mean, what?
- 13:16Speaker 1: We now go to the Big Apple. Now, it would
- 13:19Speaker 1: take something extra special for me to talk about a
- 13:22Speaker 1: Mets-Orioles game sitting here in September. And yet, here we are.
- 13:28Speaker 1: A couple teams under.
- 13:29Speaker 3: 500.
- 13:29Speaker 1: The Mets way under. 500. The Orioles, they still mathematically
- 13:32Speaker 1: have a chance because the American League is going to
- 13:34Speaker 1: put a couple of bad teams in the playoffs because
- 13:37Speaker 1: there's not enough good teams in the American League. Anyway,
- 13:39Speaker 1: I bring that up because Pete Alonzo, Pete Alonzo returned
- 13:44Speaker 1: to Citi Field as an Oriole and he received a
- 13:48Speaker 1: huge ovation. Massive ovation for Pete Alonzo. from the long-suffering
- 13:54Speaker 1: Mets fans. Alonzo, how did he do? Did he reward
- 13:58Speaker 1: the Mets fans? Hit a home run for Baltimore?
- 14:01Speaker 3: No.
- 14:02Speaker 1: He went hitless. He did have a walk and a
- 14:05Speaker 1: strikeout as Baltimore won a game between two teams who
- 14:09Speaker 1: are really realistically going nowhere. And the fans had all
- 14:14Speaker 1: the welcome back All the welcome back gifts they had,
- 14:18Speaker 1: what did they have? They had the signs, a lot
- 14:20Speaker 1: of signs. There was the rhythmic chanting for Pete Alonzo.
- 14:25Speaker 1: We got some rhythmic chanting for Pete Alonzo, which is
- 14:27Speaker 1: all I love, a good rhythmic chant. Love it, love it,
- 14:31Speaker 1: love it. The story, though, happened that's good for talk radio,
- 14:35Speaker 1: happened during batting practice.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Not a game, not a game.
- 14:38Speaker 1: We in here talking about batting practice. So batting practice,
- 14:42Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo had a brief on-field conversation with Steve Cohen,
- 14:49Speaker 1: the trust fund. Well, not trust fund. He's the hedge fund.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Hedge fund. Much different than trust fund. Hedge fund. Hedge
- 14:56Speaker 1: fund guy and Met fanboy, Steve Cohen, who liked the
- 14:59Speaker 1: Met so much, he bought the team. So they had
- 15:02Speaker 1: an on-field conversation, and that means lip readers were involved.
- 15:06Speaker 1: So according to the lip readers, Steve Cohen delivered a
- 15:09Speaker 1: heartfelt message to the former Met Pete Alonso on the
- 15:13Speaker 1: field wearing an Orioles uniform. He said, this is a
- 15:16Speaker 1: quote from the lip readers of Steve Cohen, said, this
- 15:20Speaker 1: is your home. Appreciate you, Pete. And then they went
- 15:24Speaker 1: their separate ways. This is your home. Appreciate you, Pete.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Close quote from the Mets owner. So the question, how
- 15:34Speaker 1: would you classify Mets owner Stephen Cohen as telling Pete
- 15:39Speaker 1: Alonzo on the field, this is your home. All right,
- 15:45Speaker 1: so looking at this particular story, Steve Cohen basically walked
- 15:50Speaker 1: up to Pete Alonzo wearing sandwich board that said, mistakes
- 15:56Speaker 1: were made. All caps, mistakes were made here. And the
- 16:00Speaker 1: Mets let the polar bear escape. And now Steve Cohen,
- 16:05Speaker 1: realizing the team blows, they bet on the wrong horse,
- 16:09Speaker 1: and that's on them. And so now he's standing outside
- 16:14Speaker 1: the zoo wondering why the cage is empty at the
- 16:16Speaker 1: polar bear retreat there. What happened? And it's odd, though,
- 16:21Speaker 1: because it seems like the Mets owner wants credit for
- 16:25Speaker 1: the emotional reunion. However, he helped create the breakup in
- 16:31Speaker 1: the first place. So, and he didn't, the Mets owner
- 16:35Speaker 1: did not fully admit that the front office blew it.
- 16:40Speaker 1: But he did leave. Enough breadcrumbs. And there's a lot
- 16:44Speaker 1: of breadcrumbs. If you look at the breadcrumbs, he could
- 16:46Speaker 1: feed all of the pigeon population in Queens. And there's
- 16:51Speaker 1: a lot. As you know, pigeons are the rats of
- 16:53Speaker 1: the sky. And he can feed all those airborne rats.
- 16:57Speaker 1: All of them. And when Steve Cohen says, this is
- 17:01Speaker 1: your home, I use the Malheur Rosetta Stone. And that
- 17:04Speaker 1: translates directly in billionaire speak to... Oops-a-daisy. That's what that means. Oops-a-daisy.
- 17:13Speaker 1: We screwed the pooch. Love ya. Steve Cohen. That's what
- 17:17Speaker 1: that means. It does take extra chutzpah, as my grandfather
- 17:20Speaker 1: would say back in the day, to preach family values,
- 17:23Speaker 1: and then I guess somebody forgot in payroll to pay
- 17:27Speaker 1: the money. Steve Cohen had such a chubby for the
- 17:31Speaker 1: Mets GM there that whatever the Mets GM wanted, he did.
- 17:34Speaker 1: So they broke up the roster, got rid of all
- 17:36Speaker 1: the people the fans liked, they kept the malcontents, and
- 17:40Speaker 1: now you look at it, and they're no better, they're worse, actually,
- 17:44Speaker 1: than they were A year ago. So it's a pure case,
- 17:48Speaker 1: not a buyer's remorse. This is seller's remorse for Steve
- 17:52Speaker 1: Cohen there. The polar bear returned to his natural habitat.
- 17:57Speaker 1: And now, of course, he's wearing the pumpkin uniform of
- 18:00Speaker 1: the Baltimore baseball team. Now, final point. I'm going to
- 18:03Speaker 1: go back to the NFL, back to Denver. We had
- 18:05Speaker 1: a Monday night game, which was a route or route game.
- 18:07Speaker 1: Kansas City, not because of Mahomes, because the running game
- 18:12Speaker 1: shoved it down the throat of the once-proud Broncos. A
- 18:16Speaker 1: three-touchdown win for Kansas City at Arrowhead. Mahomes not very good.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Bo Nix worse. And the story, though, is prior to
- 18:26Speaker 1: the game, we learned that it is true that the
- 18:30Speaker 1: Broncos reached out to try to get a guy almost
- 18:34Speaker 1: 50 years old to play quarterback earlier this year. So
- 18:39Speaker 1: remember when Bo Nix went snap, crackle, pop, and fractured
- 18:43Speaker 1: his ankle in Denver's overtime playoff win over Buffalo, and
- 18:47Speaker 1: then it was like that weird thing. It was announced
- 18:49Speaker 1: after the game, and it was like, what's going on?
- 18:52Speaker 1: And then he would miss the AFC Championship game and
- 18:54Speaker 1: all that stuff.
- 18:55Speaker 3: Well.
- 18:56Speaker 1: A story confirmed. It had been bouncing around the echo chamber.
- 18:59Speaker 1: It's been confirmed now that a couple of Bronco assistants,
- 19:02Speaker 1: Joe Lombardi and Pete Carmichael, reached out to then 47-year-old
- 19:09Speaker 1: Drew Brees and said, Hey, Drew, how would you like
- 19:12Speaker 1: to play for the Broncos? And Drew said, Ah! don't
- 19:16Speaker 1: know I got some guy in the other line to
- 19:17Speaker 1: buy some white walls I don't know about that anyway
- 19:21Speaker 1: they reached out to Drew Brees about coming out of
- 19:22Speaker 1: retirement and Brees was said to be intrigued enough to
- 19:26Speaker 1: work out and test whether his body could handle an
- 19:30Speaker 1: NFL comeback spoiler alert spoiler alert turns out that was
- 19:36Speaker 1: not not going to happen it was not going to
- 19:39Speaker 1: happen the experiment ended rather abruptly Brees experienced an injury
- 19:46Speaker 1: While working out. Yeah. a wrist problem. Previously teased on
- 19:52Speaker 1: some podcast that no one listens to that he was
- 19:55Speaker 1: offered a chance to come back. Now, there are reports
- 19:57Speaker 1: saying that he would not have legally been allowed to
- 19:59Speaker 1: come back. Of course, we know the NFL likes to
- 20:01Speaker 1: bend rules from time to time. So just because there's
- 20:02Speaker 1: a rule doesn't mean the NFL can't bend it. The question,
- 20:06Speaker 1: what does this Drew Brees workout confirmation with the Broncos
- 20:11Speaker 1: before the AFC title game at the end of last
- 20:14Speaker 1: season tell us? So it's more of a reminder. It's
- 20:18Speaker 1: more of a reminder than anything. It is profoundly mortifying.
- 20:24Speaker 1: for an NFL quarterback room that the coaches, when the
- 20:29Speaker 1: starter gets hurt, the first thing the coaches do is
- 20:32Speaker 1: start sending text messages to people that have been retired
- 20:35Speaker 1: for years. Hey, how would you like to play quarterback
- 20:38Speaker 1: for the Broncos? That only like they're shopping immediately. Their
- 20:42Speaker 1: first default move, rather than just say, Hey, we've got
- 20:45Speaker 1: a backup for a reason. Sean Payton and the coaching
- 20:48Speaker 1: staff are like, Hey, let's go out and, And we'll
- 20:50Speaker 1: check the waiver wire, but not the normal waiver wire.
- 20:53Speaker 1: We have a special AARP waiver wire. And it just
- 20:57Speaker 1: shows you how little confidence the Bronco coaching staff had
- 21:02Speaker 1: for their backups. And rightfully so. As Sean Payton knew,
- 21:04Speaker 1: he was porked. And he was. He was right. Because
- 21:07Speaker 1: the backup sucked. Jared Stidham was terrible. Coughed up a furball.
- 21:14Speaker 1: in a very winnable game against the Patriots in the
- 21:17Speaker 1: AFC Championship game with a halfway decent quarterback, just an
- 21:19Speaker 1: average quarterback, the Broncos would have reached the Super Bowl
- 21:23Speaker 1: and played the Seattle Seahawks and instead New England went there.
- 21:26Speaker 1: But nevertheless, this goes on all the time. And right now...
- 21:32Speaker 1: You can pick any team, whether Kansas City, Buffalo, Baltimore.
- 21:36Speaker 1: There are coaches that have guys like Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner,
- 21:41Speaker 1: Drew Brees, all these guys numbered just in case. Just
- 21:45Speaker 1: in case. Right? It's wild. These coaches keep convincing themselves
- 21:53Speaker 1: that their system can magically abracadabra turn back the biological
- 21:59Speaker 1: clock on some of these quarterbacks. It's classic NFL arrogance
- 22:03Speaker 1: by the coaches is what it is. And so here
- 22:06Speaker 1: we are. Forget the veteran experience. It's more than just
- 22:11Speaker 1: veteran experience at this point with these guys. Teams are
- 22:13Speaker 1: straight up doing senior citizen outreach work. is what they're
- 22:17Speaker 1: doing here. And so just take a spin. I've got
- 22:19Speaker 1: a driver for you. Drew Brees, come on out. I'll
- 22:22Speaker 1: give you my driver's name, Doc Brown. He's got this
- 22:25Speaker 1: classic DeLorean. Got to get it up to 88-something miles
- 22:28Speaker 1: an hour, and then you're on your way. That's it.
- 22:31Speaker 1: Right back to the future. Right back to the future.
- 22:33Speaker 1: You're on your way there. And if you're opening, as
- 22:37Speaker 1: a coach, if you're opening the football retirement home, Like,
- 22:41Speaker 1: shouldn't the Broncos have reached out to John Elway? I
- 22:43Speaker 1: know Elway's 66 or whatever, but why not reach out
- 22:46Speaker 1: to John Elway? Say, John, at least give a courtesy call.
- 22:50Speaker 1: How would you like to come back and play quarterback
- 22:52Speaker 1: for the Broncos? I know you're almost 70, but who cares?
- 22:54Speaker 1: Come on, man. And most of these guys, you look around,
- 22:58Speaker 1: most of these guys reject the temptation. I remember Kurt Warner,
- 23:01Speaker 1: when he was several years removed from playing in the NFL,
- 23:04Speaker 1: he talked about getting phone calls from teams to come
- 23:07Speaker 1: out of retirement. He didn't do it. Every once in
- 23:10Speaker 1: a while, there's a sucker that'll do it. Phillip Rivers, sucker.
- 23:13Speaker 1: He did it. But remember, Phillip Rivers and Drew Brees
- 23:16Speaker 1: were teammates with the old San Diego Chargers. So they
- 23:19Speaker 1: probably figured in Denver, well, Rivers did it. Drew Brees
- 23:22Speaker 1: will probably do it. Why not? Rivers couldn't resist the Colts' opportunity,
- 23:27Speaker 1: and so it's like that old Madonna song, Oh, Father,
- 23:30Speaker 1: except they've changed this. It's not about that. In this case,
- 23:33Speaker 1: it's Father Time always wins in the end. It is
- 23:36Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show. We're going to fix the world,

- 25:08Speaker 1: comments can and will be used against you in the
- 25:14Speaker 1: Court of Sports Radio. So please act accordingly. All right,
- 25:19Speaker 1: back to it we go. And OG Art Puffin writes
- 25:22Speaker 1: and says, I noticed you haven't mentioned a particular sports
- 25:25Speaker 1: world trade. I know it's tough for you, Ben, but
- 25:28Speaker 1: please fill us in on your thoughts about the whole
- 25:30Speaker 1: Kawhi Clippers trade controversy. Please be as candid as Kurt.
- 25:37Speaker 1: the Indiana coach. No, listen, I'm happy Kawhi's gone. It's
- 25:42Speaker 1: the old Trojan horse, Kawhi Leonard. I used to love
- 25:45Speaker 1: the NBA. I love talking about the NBA. I don't
- 25:50Speaker 1: really enjoy it as much, and that is directly related
- 25:53Speaker 1: to Kawhi Leonard. And I'm happy he's gone, and may
- 25:58Speaker 1: he sit on the Raptors bench and get hemorrhoids for
- 26:00Speaker 1: the rest of his career. So good luck to him.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Amen.
- 26:03Speaker 1: That's right.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Amen.
- 26:05Speaker 1: All right, let's get to them. The man, the myth,
- 26:07Speaker 1: the legend here from Hollywood, Florida. We say hello to
- 26:09Speaker 1: our friend Billy, otherwise known as Weed Man Hippie. Hello, Billy.
- 26:15Speaker 3: Hey, Ben, I love you. So let me ask you something, though.
- 26:19Speaker 3: What happened to Saturday? I thought I was doing every
- 26:21Speaker 3: Saturday with you.
- 26:24Speaker 1: Is he joking? He must be joking. You're kidding, right?
- 26:29Speaker 3: What do you mean?
- 26:32Speaker 1: Why am I joking? Are you that selfish? I'm rotating.
- 26:37Speaker 1: The company got rid of anybody that worked with me
- 26:40Speaker 1: on any show, pretty much. So Eddie's not here. I
- 26:42Speaker 1: used to have Danny G on the podcast. He's gone.
- 26:45Speaker 1: So I've just deputized a bunch of listeners. Now he's gone. Yeah,
- 26:48Speaker 1: Brie quit also. So I just deputized people because I
- 26:52Speaker 1: figured you guys can't quit. You're not on the payroll.
- 26:54Speaker 1: So I'll just use you.
- 26:55Speaker 3: I thought it was going to be on every week.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Well, then other people won't have an opportunity. You're going
- 27:01Speaker 1: to go and bogart every one of the mailbags. Why
- 27:04Speaker 1: would you want to? I mean, you're in my rotation.
- 27:08Speaker 1: There's a bunch of people that haven't even had an
- 27:10Speaker 1: opportunity yet to do it, Weed Man. And they want
- 27:13Speaker 1: to do it. And then if I just have you
- 27:15Speaker 1: do it every week, they won't be able to do it.
- 27:17Speaker 3: Okay, just know I love doing that.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, all right. Be like Robbie
- 27:22Speaker 1: the Mariner. Robbie the Mariner fan always answers his phone.
- 27:25Speaker 3: I always answer my phone for you.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Okay, all right. Fair enough, fair enough. All right, we
- 27:31Speaker 1: have questions. You ready to answer these questions? We're going
- 27:32Speaker 1: to fix the world, yes?
- 27:34Speaker 3: Yes, let's make the world a better place to live.
- 27:36Speaker 3: Let's stop wars. Let's stop hatred. Let's stop violence. Let's
- 27:40Speaker 3: make this world a beautiful place like we really could
- 27:43Speaker 3: have it.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Alf the Alienal Piner writes in from the Commonwealth. He says, Billy,
- 27:49Speaker 1: do you think that AI will take us all out
- 27:52Speaker 1: within the next 10 years?
- 27:53Speaker 3: No, that is so ridiculous. How is artificial intelligence going
- 27:58Speaker 3: to kill everyone in the world? I heard that. I
- 28:02Speaker 3: saw that on the news. That's the stupidest thing I've
- 28:04Speaker 3: ever seen.
- 28:05Speaker 4: In my life.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I understand.
- 28:09Speaker 3: I don't really.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Well, conceivably, with AI, there are people that have nefarious...
- 28:15Speaker 1: They're smarter than us. They are talking behind our backs.
- 28:17Speaker 1: They are coming up with code that we can't read. Well,
- 28:20Speaker 1: the problem is not that. The problem is if the
- 28:25Speaker 1: people that don't like us get access to the nuclear codes,
- 28:28Speaker 1: that would be a problem. But I don't worry about that.
- 28:31Speaker 1: Why would you worry about that? If everything's gone, we're gone,
- 28:34Speaker 1: so there's nothing to worry about. You don't need to
- 28:38Speaker 1: worry about that. Analog Al says, did you gift some
- 28:41Speaker 1: of your stash to the Broncos coaching staff prior to
- 28:44Speaker 1: the Monday night game?
- 28:44Speaker 3: That would be great.
- 28:48Speaker 1: They were all high.
- 28:51Speaker 3: Everyone was high. It's crazy. All right.
- 28:53Speaker 1: And Milkman Mike in Colorado points out that with Halloween
- 28:58Speaker 1: right around the corner here next month, the end of
- 29:00Speaker 1: next month, before you lost your teeth, what was your
- 29:03Speaker 1: favorite Halloween candy?
- 29:08Speaker 3: Good and Plenty. I love Good and Plenty.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Good and Plenty? I love Good and Plenty. Those are
- 29:13Speaker 1: so good. Your favorite, though?
- 29:15Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
- 29:17Speaker 5: At least Weed Man is like 70 years old.
- 29:20Speaker 1: He has an excuse. What's yours, Lorena? Whoa, whoa.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Good and Plenty's are, well, granted, my dad is 78
- 29:25Speaker 2: and those are his favorite candy.
- 29:27Speaker 1: So that's probably why. But I also like they melt
- 29:30Speaker 1: in your hand.
- 29:31Speaker 5: You know, if you put a whole handful, you got
- 29:33Speaker 5: little white and pink paint all over the place.
- 29:35Speaker 1: There's like Mike and I and those hot tamale things.
- 29:38Speaker 1: They're all kind of like the same.
- 29:40Speaker 3: Stuff.
- 29:40Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Good and Plenty's are licorice.
- 29:45Speaker 5: Licorice?
- 29:46Speaker 3: What do you mean, like red licorice?
- 29:47Speaker 1: No, they're black licorice filled flavored.
- 29:49Speaker 5: That's what the flavor is.
- 29:51Speaker 1: I'm not a fan.
- 29:53Speaker 3: Who is the heavyweight champ of the world?
- 29:57Speaker 1: Mike Tyson.
- 29:59Speaker 3: Not right now.
- 30:01Speaker 2: No.
- 30:01Speaker 3: Mike's like 60 years old.
- 30:03Speaker 1: I know, I know.
- 30:05Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Let's see. Who is the heavyweight? I'm going to look
- 30:07Speaker 1: right now. Heavyweight champion of the world. Is it Jake Paul?
- 30:10Speaker 4: No.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Let's see. Right now. Here we go. Let's see here, Weedman.
- 30:14Speaker 1: I'm looking it up right now. Current heavyweight champion of
- 30:16Speaker 1: the world. What do you want? The WBC, WBO, or
- 30:18Speaker 1: the IBF?
- 30:20Speaker 3: Which one do you want?
- 30:21Speaker 1: There's three different ones.
- 30:23Speaker 3: The.
- 30:26Speaker 1: The WBC champion is, according to this, Agate Caballo of Germany.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Wow, never heard of him.
- 30:38Speaker 1: I have no idea who that is. Then there's a
- 30:41Speaker 1: guy from France, and then there's a guy from Croatia. Yeah,
- 30:46Speaker 1: I don't know who any of these people are. That's
- 30:48Speaker 1: a sport that's fallen off. A little bit, yeah. Boy,
- 30:50Speaker 1: that one, I was going there. Remember the old days
- 30:53Speaker 1: we made? Oh, that was the biggest heavyweight boxing match.
- 30:56Speaker 3: I just saw Dan the Holyfield beat Mike Tyson. I
- 30:59Speaker 3: just saw that earlier.
- 31:00Speaker 1: It just happened, yes. One of my favorite memories when
- 31:03Speaker 1: I first got into radio, boxing was still pretty popular,
- 31:05Speaker 1: and I got to cover some of the big fights
- 31:07Speaker 1: in Vegas, and I have such great memories there of
- 31:09Speaker 1: going to those fights and the crowd and the smoke
- 31:12Speaker 1: in the air, and it was just awesome. Those days
- 31:16Speaker 1: are not coming back.
- 31:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw Mike Tyson in Madison Square Garden years
- 31:21Speaker 3: ago when he first started.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Fergdog says, ask a weed man, have you tried Burger
- 31:25Speaker 1: King's new chicken nuggets?
- 31:28Speaker 3: No, I wish. Oh, hey, Purito, please send me that
- 31:34Speaker 3: steak that you sent me. That was great with a
- 31:36Speaker 3: baked potato. That would be so great.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Are you ordering food?
- 31:40Speaker 3: I love Purito.
- 31:43Speaker 1: Did you just order food on the radio?
- 31:46Speaker 3: Burrito sent me so much food. It was great. I
- 31:48Speaker 3: love burrito.
- 31:49Speaker 1: What's the magic word to say to burrito?
- 31:52Speaker 3: Please, please.
- 31:53Speaker 1: What's the other magic word? What's the other magic word?
- 31:55Speaker 1: Two words. I also feed Coop. What's the other magic phrase?
- 31:59Speaker 1: Two words, Weedman. Come on. One starts with a T.
- 32:02Speaker 1: The other starts with a Y.
- 32:04Speaker 3: Thank you. I love you. I really enjoy.
- 32:08Speaker 1: What you send me. Okay, all right, all right.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Stop it.
- 32:10Speaker 5: So sweet.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Have you figured out your email, Weed Man, so people
- 32:13Speaker 1: can send you stuff in the email?
- 32:16Speaker 3: You know, it's not even spelled like my name.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Why don't you start a new email? Didn't Coop start
- 32:23Speaker 1: an email for you with your name?
- 32:27Speaker 3: Did you cook? Yeah.
- 32:30Speaker 1: You've smoked so much weed, you don't even remember. That
- 32:31Speaker 1: was like a month or two ago. Two months ago, maybe.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Two months ago. Not a burner writes in on Ask
- 32:36Speaker 1: a Weed Man and says, who's hotter, Justin Herbert's wife
- 32:38Speaker 1: or Travis Kelsey's wife?
- 32:41Speaker 3: Oh, Travis Kelsey's wife. Are you kidding?
- 32:43Speaker 1: I'm going to push back on that. I do not
- 32:46Speaker 1: agree at all. I think whatever her name is, that
- 32:49Speaker 1: beer girl is hotter than Taylor Swift. How about that?
- 32:52Speaker 1: She's got that sexy librarian thing going for her. I
- 32:55Speaker 1: don't know about that, but I think Taylor Swift's a
- 32:57Speaker 1: very talented musician and all that, I guess, or singer,
- 32:59Speaker 1: but in terms of pure beauty, I'd go with the
- 33:06Speaker 1: other one.
- 33:06Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know.
- 33:07Speaker 1: You don't even know who the other woman is.
- 33:09Speaker 3: No, I don't know who the other woman is.
- 33:12Speaker 1: All right. Late Night Drug Tester says, did you get
- 33:16Speaker 1: anything for Weed Man? Did you get anything for Dan
- 33:18Speaker 1: Marino's 65th birthday, or are you going to the party empty-handed?
- 33:23Speaker 3: Wow, I love Dan Marino. I love him. I was
- 33:26Speaker 3: in Miami. I was a Miami fan even when I
- 33:28Speaker 3: was in New York. Dan Marino was my favorite quarterback.
- 33:32Speaker 3: I love Dan. How old is Dan?
- 33:34Speaker 1: 65.
- 33:37Speaker 3: Wow. I'm two years older than Dan Marino. That is
- 33:40Speaker 3: so great.
- 33:42Speaker 1: That is so great.
- 33:43Speaker 3: I saw him. I met him at the Fontainebleau in Miami.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Oh, that's cool. The Fontainebleau.
- 33:49Speaker 3: Yeah, really cool.
- 33:51Speaker 1: King Roy writes and says, what will Weed Man spend
- 33:53Speaker 1: his $ 5, 000 on? Oh, yeah.
- 33:56Speaker 3: Yeah, like Trump's really going to get it. That's the
- 34:01Speaker 3: stupidest thing I've ever heard in my whole life.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Okay, but let's just assume he, I agree with you,
- 34:06Speaker 1: you're probably not going to get a dollar. But if
- 34:08Speaker 1: you did get a dollar, would you just burn it
- 34:11Speaker 1: on weed? What would you spend it on there?
- 34:13Speaker 3: No, that would be so great for me. Are you kidding?
- 34:16Speaker 3: I have no money. I don't even have $ 1, 000. I
- 34:18Speaker 3: have like $ 1, 000. It's all the money I have in
- 34:22Speaker 3: the whole world right now.
- 34:23Speaker 1: That's a lot of money.
- 34:24Speaker 3: That would be so great if you could send me $ 5, 000.
- 34:25Speaker 1: All right, calm down. He's not going to send you
- 34:27Speaker 1: the money here. Wait, man, can I borrow $ 1, 000?
- 34:29Speaker 5: Say it again?
- 34:29Speaker 3: Can I borrow.
- 34:31Speaker 1: $ 1, 000?
- 34:34Speaker 3: It's all the money I have in the world.
- 34:37Speaker 1: You don't need it. All right. Weed Man, I've learned
- 34:40Speaker 1: over the years, if a politician promises you money, ignore
- 34:44Speaker 1: the politician because they're not sending you money.
- 34:46Speaker 3: I saw that on the news. That is the stupidest
- 34:49Speaker 3: thing I've ever seen. That would cost like over a
- 34:51Speaker 3: trillion dollars. Stop giving out money.
- 34:54Speaker 1: Money. Yafimi writes in. Chris, for you, you need the money.
- 34:57Speaker 1: Yafimi writes in and says, hey, Weed Man, what was
- 34:59Speaker 1: the layout of the toy store that you owned? Was
- 35:02Speaker 1: it more like FAO Schwartz or more like a boutique
- 35:07Speaker 1: like KB Toys? He says so.
- 35:10Speaker 3: No, yeah, it was more like KB Toys, the Toys
- 35:12Speaker 3: R Us. It was that kind of toy store. And
- 35:16Speaker 3: we had half was toys, half was juvenile furniture. So
- 35:20Speaker 3: we also had cribs and carriages and strollers and toys.
- 35:27Speaker 1: All right, calm down. Bozo, the district attorney, writes in.
- 35:31Speaker 1: He said... Bozo the clown. Every week. He said... He says,
- 35:37Speaker 1: Bozo said, you said last week you could go a
- 35:41Speaker 1: whole year without weed if it meant $ 10 million. What
- 35:45Speaker 1: was the longest you've gone without smoking weed? From Bozo,
- 35:48Speaker 1: the district attorney.
- 35:50Speaker 3: Not very long since I was a kid. Not very
- 35:53Speaker 3: long at all.
- 35:53Speaker 1: What about when you were in jail, though? You couldn't
- 35:55Speaker 1: smoke when you were in jail.
- 35:56Speaker 3: Well, yeah.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Right?
- 35:58Speaker 3: You know, one time I got weeded into jail. I
- 36:02Speaker 3: smuggled it into jail.
- 36:04Speaker 1: All right, let's try to guess. What crevice was that?
- 36:10Speaker 3: Yeah, no, yeah. Whatever you first get, you should drop
- 36:14Speaker 3: or get.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Oh, my God, Weed Man.
- 36:17Speaker 3: These jail guys stole it from me. That's unbelievable.
- 36:22Speaker 1: That's even worse. I hope they knew where it was. Anyway,
- 36:27Speaker 1: I got to go. Thank you, Weed Man. I love you, Dan.
- 36:29Speaker 5: I love you, Kubo.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Ask a Weed Man, our friend Billy. It is the
- 36:34Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show. Straight ahead, we have Maller, the third degree.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Here's the insta-trivia. Patrick Mahomes is now 7-0 against the
- 36:42Speaker 1: Broncos at Arrowhead. Blank holds the record since the merger
- 36:47Speaker 1: with the most quarterback starts against one team in one
- 36:50Speaker 1: stadium without a loss. Again, Mahomes 7-0 versus the Broncos

- 38:31Speaker 2: This is when Big Ben gets grilled. Koopaloop.
- 38:35Speaker 5: After the Bengals win over the Buccaneers, coach Zach Taylor
- 38:38Speaker 5: said that they, quote, felt the presence of their defensive additions. However,
- 38:42Speaker 5: linebacker Barrett Carter said we haven't answered any questions. Ben,
- 38:46Speaker 5: do you think any any questions were answered?
- 38:48Speaker 1: No. The game was a gift from the Buccaneers. Baker
- 38:51Speaker 1: Mayfield fumbled three times. Tampa had four total fumbles. They lost. Okay,
- 38:56Speaker 1: so how good are the Bengals? How much of that
- 38:59Speaker 1: was the Bengals' defense? How much of that was just
- 39:02Speaker 1: malfeasance by the Buccaneers in that game? Tampa did put
- 39:06Speaker 1: up 27 points even with all that, so I'm not
- 39:10Speaker 1: convinced of anything. They won. That's great. They still got
- 39:13Speaker 1: 27 points, and without the turnovers, you know, who knows. Next!
- 39:17Speaker 5: Ashton Genting told the media after the Raiders win on
- 39:19Speaker 5: Sunday that they are building a new culture, and that.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Culture is going to win football games.
- 39:22Speaker 2: Ha ha ha!
- 39:24Speaker 5: Ben, do you think Clint Kubiak is building a new
- 39:26Speaker 5: culture in Las Vegas?
- 39:27Speaker 1: Yes, as long as they can play the Miami Dolphins.
- 39:30Speaker 1: a few more times. They got a really good shot there.
- 39:32Speaker 1: If they can get Malik Willis like six or seven
- 39:34Speaker 1: more times, they got a shot. No, come on. That
- 39:38Speaker 1: was for draft positioning that game between the Dolphins and
- 39:41Speaker 1: the Raiders, and right now the Dolphins are in a
- 39:43Speaker 1: better position. It's the Dolphins, Browns, and what? The Titans
- 39:49Speaker 1: for the Eli, or not Eli, Arch Manning sweepstakes. Next!
- 39:53Speaker 5: TJ Watt joined Julius Peppers as the only players in
- 39:55Speaker 5: NFL history to have 100 sacks and 10 interceptions. Ben,
- 39:59Speaker 5: do you think TJ will prove to be the superior
- 40:01Speaker 5: Watt brother before it's all said and done?
- 40:03Speaker 1: Well, it's pretty clear at this point based on the
- 40:06Speaker 1: career J.J. Watt's already done. He's going to be in
- 40:09Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, and his brother's going to be
- 40:11Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. So then it's like you're...
- 40:13Speaker 1: They're both going to be Hall of Famers, so you're
- 40:15Speaker 1: really nitpicking on who's better. But statistically, since this guy,
- 40:20Speaker 1: the Steelers watch, is still playing, he's got a pretty
- 40:22Speaker 1: good shot. How do we do, Koopaloop? You pass this edition.
- 40:24Speaker 5: Valor, the third to go.
- 40:25Speaker 3: He won the game.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Winner, winner, winner. Chicken dinner.
