  Speaker 1: a second bite of the apple. Here in our number three,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: what's the beef with Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy being out
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: with a bum ankle? So he did make the Viking roster, however...
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: He will not be able to play to begin the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: year with a bad ankle. Also, do you believe that
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell is being truthful when he says
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: he still wants to develop J.J. McCarthy? We'll talk about that.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And what stands out about the Cowboys, for the time
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: being anyway, firing backup quarterback Joe Milton? Got a lot
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of attention online. He did not make the Cowboy roster.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about all that and more right now. Here

  Speaker 1: So our lead story this hour is from the Twin
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Cities here. We have a status update. Follow-up to the follow-up.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Follow-up to the follow-up. J.J. McCarthy remains on the Viking roster.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: The Minnesota football team did get rid of one of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: their quarterbacks, although not McCarthy. However, it doesn't mean he's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: going to play. I don't know if you saw this
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: or not, but McCarthy said to be suffering from an
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: ankle predicament. What does that mean? He's got, oh, my ankle!
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: He's got a bum ankle. So Adam Schefter tells us
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that the injury is now a multi-week issue. And there
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: were some reports over the weekend saying it was minor,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: he's day-to-day. And now all of a sudden, little hocus-pocus,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: no focus, and they're saying, well, he's going to be
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: out multiple weeks. Now, you know what that means? Yep.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz is your backup quarterback. You got
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: alligator arms and Carson Wentz. Welcome to hell, Minnesota Viking fan.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Welcome to hell.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yikes.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So that's it. That means McCarthy, if my math is
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: correct on this, I'm using back of the napkin math,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that means McCarthy is the third string quarterback on the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: depth chart in And that is a good jumping-off point.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. What's the beef? What's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the beef with the Vikings quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, being out
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: with a bum ankle? Any kind of beef with this?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: So I've got Wooly Mammoth, Star Jones, I know, and
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the summer blockbuster trailer. We've got all of these things.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: We're going to combine them together, and we are going
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to make a delicious beef burrito together. and some nachos
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: with extra cheese on top. That's what we're going to do.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Sound good, doesn't it? Okay, sounds good. All right, so
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: first of all, all right, here's the deal. The beef
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is that the ankle, if you examine the ankle with
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: any kind of critical thinking, the ankle became the fall ankle.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Not the fall guy, the fall ankle. Got to have
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a fall body part. And this turned out to be
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the ankle for J.J. McCarthy here. You'd have to be
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: a grade A Rube. I am talking higher level Rube
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in a purple and gold onesie. I'm going full purple
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and gold onesie here to not see how convenient this
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: whole situation turned out to be, right? First, the injury
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: was minor. Then all of a sudden, OAD, oops-a-daisy. Oops-a-daisy.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: It's a multi-week problem, and ta-da! Carson Wentz is your QB2.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: What astonishing timing. As Andrea, the astrology insider, would say,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the planet's all lined up for the Vikings here. So
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota football team They found the ultimate hiding spot.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: No one's going to find... No one's going to find J.J.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: McCarthy in quarterback embarrassment tent. There's a tent. It's called
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: quarterback embarrassment over there. And it's actually right behind the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: medical tent. It's a different tent. Yeah, that's right. Off
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to the side there and in the back. If you
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: walk around the medical tent, you'll see the embarrassment tent.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: And that's where that is. And that bum ankle... is camouflage.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: It's corporate camouflage, a warm security blanket. So Minnesota did
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: not have to publicly announce, by the way, Carson Wentz
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: is our new backup quarterback, and that guy that we
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: got a couple years ago with the 10th pick in
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the draft, well, he got outplayed by Carson Wentz. The
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: rotting carcass of Carson Wentz outplayed him. So it gives Minnesota,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the brains behind the franchise there, it gives them plausible deniability.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And it preserves J.J. McCarthy's dignity on some level. And
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: everyone can get together. They can huddle up there in Minnesota.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And they can blame the joint. Not that kind of joint.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: The ankle. And acknowledge the woolly mammoth. In the back
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of the room, they're doing jumping jacks. Well, why is
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: there a woolly mammoth doing jumping jacks? I don't know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. But it's right there in the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: back on the right-hand side of the room. You can
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: see clearly the woolly mammoth doing jumping jacks. Even Inca
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Terror can see that, and Stevie Meatballs can see it. Now,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: when healthy, J.J. McCarthy just wasn't good enough. That's it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: That's the story right there.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, staying with Minnesota, though, there was some chatter that
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the Vikings head coach, the quarterback whisperer, Kevin O'Connell, remains
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: one of J.J. McCarthy's biggest supporters. Yes, the story claiming
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: that O'Connell, quote, wants to keep working with the quarterback.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Really? Hmm.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: All right. So the question here, do you believe, are
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you a believer that That Viking coach, Kevin O'Connell, is
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: being truthful when he says he still wants to develop J.J. McCarthy.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: So on the Malheur Sincerity Scale, we've dusted off the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Malheur Sincerity Scale, 1 to 10, with 10 being the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: most sincere you could possibly be. And it's very rare
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: this happens. On the Malheur Sincerity Scale, Kevin O'Connell gets
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a minus 7. A minus seven on the Malheur Sincerity
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Score scale, what we use, and it's always the tool
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: that we go to, as you know, from over the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: years here. Now, we are believers that actions speak louder
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: than words. I think all of us can agree on that.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: If I tell you I'm going to give you $ 50, 000,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that makes you feel pretty good. You know what makes
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you feel better? Delivering a box filled with money that
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: has the $ 50, 000. That is better than telling you I'm
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: going to do it, actually doing it. Actually doing it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: And so the Vikings told you exactly what they think
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of J.J. McCarthy when they brought in the Oompa Loompa,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. They brought in Alligator Arms Murray. They're Kevin
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: O'Connell saying, we want to keep working with J.J., is
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: classic NFL coach speak. For we couldn't get anything worthwhile
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: for him on the trade market, so here we are,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: we are stuck, and that's it. We'll call J.J. McCarthy
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the white elephant, is what we're going to call him.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And the alleged quarterback whisperer, which is Kevin... O'Connell there,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and even he went out and said, you know, I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: want somebody else. I don't want this guy. I want
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: somebody else. So calling McCarthy incredibly important, which is one
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: of the quotes that was bouncing around the interweb, that
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: he's incredibly important, right after replacing him with the football
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: equivalent of what? We should still be friends? That's essentially,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: was like well you know listen it's it's not you
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: it's it's uh well it is you but well let's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: still be friends you're incredibly important so we brought in
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a guy with a video game addiction who's not going
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to do anything more than be mediocre this year and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: we thought that guy was better than you so we
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: got that guy That's what he did. But keeping J.J.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: is not obviously incredibly important. Keeping him is not some
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: kind of renewed commitment. That's not the case. It's just
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: postponing the inevitable. And the inevitable is eventually you're just
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: going to visit Star Jones on divorce court, which I
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: think is still on the air. And that'll be that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And Kyler Murray already has the job. We hear that
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Kyler has the parking spot for his tricycle. So that's exciting.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And he's got his favorite remote joystick. It's not a
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: remote control. It's like a joystick that he uses. And
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: he took that actually from J.J. McCarthy. So he's got
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the parking spot, he's got the key fob, and he's
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: got the remote control joystick thingamajig to play the video games,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: all from J.J. McCarthy, who is now in the back.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: He's no longer the leading actor. He has been buried
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: on the depth chart. All right, final thought. To Dallas
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: we go. And the training camp sensation of NFL Nation
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: can be yours if the price is right. Did you
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: see the Dallas Cowboys have said bye-bye? They have fired
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: quarterback Joe Milton. Let go on Monday, one day after
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: they announced on Sunday that they were keeping him on
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the 53-man roster. They did the old okey-doke and said,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: psych Dallas needing Milton's roster spot to claim some running
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: back you've never heard of from Kansas City. So that
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: guy's on the Cowboys roster. Now, the story is that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys are hoping to bring Joe Milton back to
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the practice squad. Not the real squad.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: The practice squad. That is, of course, if he clears
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: waivers that another team could claim him. We'll see if
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that happens. Now, Milton earned critical acclaim. Playing in some
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: of these exhibition games here was celebrated. On the interweb. Oh, man.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: What a performance. What a performance. It looked like for
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a while he was going to be the QB number two.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: QB number two behind Dak Prescott. Instead, Sam the man.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Sam Howell. Sam Howell will be the backup quarterback in
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Jerry's world. So the question, what stands out? about the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Cowboys firing, because that's what, you know, they say waivers,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: but you get fired, firing backup quarterback Joe Milton after
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: very impressive highlight plays in the Cowboys exhibition games. So
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Joe Milton is the ultimate BT sandwich. I'm not talking
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: about bacon tomato sandwich.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Big T's. BT. The big T's. It's kind of like
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the guy in the Cactus League or the Grapefruit League
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: that goes out and hits 10 home runs in March.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And you're like, boy, that's pretty cool. 10 home runs
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: in March. Let's see what he can do in April. Well, nothing.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: He can't do anything in April. Can't even tie his
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: own shoes and chew gum at the same time. Can't happen.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Not going to happen. You're like, okay. Not going to happen.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And so that's what he is. Joe Milton is the
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: summer blockbuster trailer. Everyone falls in love with the trailer. Oh,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: it's so good. Every single August, you get excited about it,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and then the actual movie never makes it to the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: big screen. Well, why is it not in the big screen? Well,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the trailer's good. It's like, People that make TikTok videos
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: that go viral couldn't make a movie because a movie's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: 90 minutes minimum. A TikTok video can be 20 seconds
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: or less, and that's it. So it's a different skill set.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: But that's what he is. He's Joe Milton every year. Well,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: it's only been a couple years, but with the Patriots,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: we heard the same thing. Look at Joe Milton. Now
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: he's with the Cowboys, the same situation. And, oh, the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: trailer's spectacular. Absolutely spectacular. He's got all the tools. Physical marvel.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Joe Milton. Bazooka Joe arm. Bazooka Joe arm. Throws. When
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: he chucks the football, Joe Milton, his throws cross not one,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: not two, but three different zip codes. And if you
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: want viral clips, who are you going to call?
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: That's right. Social media was drooling. They were drooling over
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Joe Milton. And That's just that. Every August, the Internet
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: gets hypnotized and mesmerized, and they'll do it all again
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: next year. Look at the arm! Mazel tov! Look at
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the arm. Way to go. And then he wakes up
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: at some point, Joe Milton, and he actually is apparently
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: unable to play meaningful games because the Cowboys, just like
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, did not really believe in Joe Milton, even
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: though they got a firsthand look, and he has become
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Joe Milton, unemployed NFL quarterback, has become training camp legend guy.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Training camp legend guy without ever playing in at least
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a starting role. He's never started an NFL game in
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: his two years. And yet everyone's like, oh, my God.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: It's the razzle dazzle. He's got the razzle dazzle. And
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the whispers keep going, oh, the resume. Soon. Coming soon.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Physical tools, franchise quarterback, bazooka arm, all that stuff. And
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: as Bill Parcells preached the big tuna back in his day,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: potential just means you haven't done anything. And it is
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: a curse. Potential, potential, potential, potential, potential. A prospect is
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a suspect until proven otherwise. So until Joe Milton actually
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: goes out there and shows that he can play well
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: in a game that counts, Joe Milton, obviously not the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: blockbuster movie. He is not. He's just a perpetual coming
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: attraction is what he is. It is the Ben Maller Show.

• 18:32
  Speaker 1: koopa loop at a bronco fan that's a bronco fan
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: your comments can and will be used against you in
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the court of sports radio so please act accordingly back
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: to it if you would like to be part of
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: mallard's amount of money the lines are full right now
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: when something opens up give us a call we'll We're
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: looking for a couple of game show contestants for Mallard's
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Mountain of Money. That'll be coming up later this hour.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Here's the riddle of the day. Former Red Star Joey
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Votto revealed on TV this week that he has never
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: eaten blank. People were surprised by this. And so that
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: becomes the Mallard riddle of the day. Let's see what
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: we've got here. Donkey Sausage says Little Debbie or Big Debbie,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: something like that. I don't know. What else do we have?
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Andy in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says Joey's never eaten a
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: bowl of that nasty Skyline Chili. which I am told
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: is an acquired taste. I did not have it when
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I was in Cincinnati. I did have the ice cream.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I believe I made the right choice. Fried bologna from
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: our friend Luke, the vending guy. Not a burner says,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: unlike you, Ben, he has not eaten Rocky Mountain oysters. Well,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: as you know, not a burner. I did do that,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and it's not the correct answer. I'm guessing he has
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: not had Rocky Mountain Oysters. Let's see here. Freddie writes
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: in and says... Two, the testicles. Joey has never had
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: spicy chicken nuggets from McDonald's. Alf the Alien O'Piner says
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: dill pickle potato chips from a loyal fan. Ooh, he
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: should try some. Yeah. What else do we have? Robbie
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the Mariner fan says Joey Votto has never had tripe soup.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: That is... Let's see here. Tripe soup is a traditional
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: hearty dish made from the edible... Stomach lining of a cow. Yeah,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: it's like menudo. Simmered in rich, savory broth with garlic, onion,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and regional spices. You've had that? Yeah, it's a traditional.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: My grandma used to make it all the time. I
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: feel like every group has something disgusting they eat because
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: they've always eaten it. Langua tacos, I'm also a fan of. Yeah,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: not for me. Skyline chili guispaique. Schlano went with a
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: certain kind of pie, which many people enjoy, but they
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: can't say that, unfortunately. What else do we have? Soggy
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: nachos from Joe the Ghost Hunter. Good to hear from
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Joe the Ghost Hunter. Haven't heard much from him recently.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: One of the stars of the Cincinnati slash Kentucky meet
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and greet. What else do we have? Chorizo and eggs
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: from Hugh on the five. What else do we have?
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Page down. Sweet cheeks from Sir Smokes a lot. That's
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: his answer. Fill her up, Phil. Also went with the you-know-what.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? A sword from Mike the Leprechaun. Wrong.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: All right. Lorena, do you know the answer? Joey Votto
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of the Cincinnati Reds revealed on TV this week that
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: he'd never eaten blank. Balut. Balut. Is that correct? Do
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: you know what balut is? No, but it sounds disgusting.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: It's that egg that has the bird fetus inside of it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: All right. All right. I've seen that. No, no. There's
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: also that weird, disgusting fish they eat in Minnesota that's terrible. Anchovies.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: No.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Sardines. No, it's like a white fish thing, but it
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: looks terrible. It's like fermented. Not good. Anyway, the correct answer,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: there were two options that you had. Joey Votto revealed
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: he had never eaten nachos in his life. How is
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: that possible? He also had never, even as a Canadian guy,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: he'd never had poutine. What the F is wrong with
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Joey Votto? Throw him in jail. Does he not like cheese?
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He said he's not from Quebec, where
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: poutine is originally from. He's from Ontario, but it doesn't matter.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: We were all the way on the other side of
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Canada in Vancouver, and they had poutine shops all over
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the place. It's a bad job by Joey Votto. And
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: to me, he's lost a lot of credibility. And nachos
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: are a staple of every ballpark. You can't go to
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: a Major League Baseball game without nachos. Now, I realize
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Votto was playing. But at no point did he have
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: for a nice snack some ooey gooey neon orange nachos.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? You're not living, dude. Come on.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: You're making things embarrassing. You got to shove your face
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: in the nachos. You got to get the cheese all
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: over it. All right. Let's get to the calls. Mike,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: and we do need some contestants when a line opens
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: up for Mallard's Mountain of Money if you're inclined to play.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Dallas and let's say hello to Mike
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: who's in Dallas. Hello, Mike. Welcome. Welcome. Oh, we got
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: a sleeper. Yep. We got a sleeper. We'd like to
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: alert all the affiliates. Mike in Dallas. He actually fell
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: asleep 30 years ago when the Cowboys were last relevant,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and he's still sleeping. Not intense snoring. Yeah, he's not
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: a hollering snorer. No, he's not. All right. It's a shame.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: But a good call, Mike. And that's about as solid
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: as the Cowboys this season. So there's Mike in Dallas.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to 2% Chance, who's in Alabama. Hello, 2% Chance.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Welcome. Hey, appreciate it, man. So everyone's buying into this L.A. Rams.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: They're saying that it's basically a sure thing that, at
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: the very least, they're going to make the Super Bowl. But,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: you know, it's no guarantee a guy coming back from,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: I think it's.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Three years off.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Two years.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Two years, my bad. My bad. There's no guarantee in that.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: There's also no guarantee that Stafford plays at the MVP level.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: You know, he's getting along.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: You would think he wouldn't have to play at an
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: MVP level if the defense is giving up 13 points
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: a game or something like that, right? If they're that
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: good defensively, you would think that you don't need Stafford
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to to score a gazillion points because you're set up.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: The biggest weakness the Rams have would be the depth.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: If Devontae Adams is older, he's going to get hurt
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: at some point. Puka Nakua could be suspended. There's not
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: a lot behind that. The Rams admitted that. They traded
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: for Tutu Atwell, and that was their big pickup. Tutu Atwell,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: who was mediocre at best when he played. He just
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: went to the Dolphins, but my God.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, also I think Devontae Adams, he's getting a little
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: long in the tooth. You know, that kind of goes
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: to the point. I mean, I'm not sure they're only
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: going to give up 13 points. I mean, Miles Garrett's
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: a stud.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: So where's the weakness? Give me the weakness on the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Rams defense. Where is it? Where do you think the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: weak spot is?
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: The weakness?
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you seem to think they're overrated and all that.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: So where's the weak spot?
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: No, I'm saying there is no guarantee Aaron Donald is.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: There's no guarantee. There's no guarantee at anything. I mean,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you can say that about literally anything. There is no
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: guarantee 2% chance.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: You take Aaron Donald off the board and you just
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: say he's an average Joe? then they're just the middle
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: of the pack defensive line because they got rid of
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: what's-his-name Cleveland in the trade for Garrett, that guy I love.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I can't remember his name. So I would say middle
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: of the pack defensive line, an okay secondary.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: So they added the chief secondary that won a Super Bowl.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: That's below average to you or mediocre?
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: He's all right, man.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Is he top five corner?
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's top ten maybe.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: So Trent McDuffie, who's being paid like a top five
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: defensive back, you do not think is that good? Your analysis.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. I think he's a top ten guy.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: So that covers one side of the field.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: And Jalen Watson, who was with the Chiefs as well,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you think he sucks?
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think he sucks. I think he's good.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I think he's great. Gotcha.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Well, now, Coop, send that out. Two percent chance. A
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: skeptic of the L.A. Rams. A skeptic. Did Nostradinus have
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: you make this phone call?
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Noster Chances did.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I see what you did there. You made a joke.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Not a funny one, but you made a joke there.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: All right. This is hot sports talk here. You're doing
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: hot sporty talk is what you're doing. So thank you
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: for that.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it, man. I think even if they do
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: get to the Super Bowl, Josh or Lamar or maybe Patrick,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I got one of them guys winning it this year.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Go bet all your money, and then when you lose,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: you can call up and complain. I understand. That's usually
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: what happens. Thank you. Let's say hello to Hollering James,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: who's been in the hospital. Let's get a medical update
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: on Hollering James.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: The hospital food is not so good.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: See, they're not giving you good food, James, because they
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: want you to leave the hospital.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: I have to stay on my queen bed. I grow
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: on you.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Ha! I've noticed that when you're in the hospital, they
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: keep you awake. You don't fall asleep when you're in
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the hospital.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: You know why? They give you good drugs during the day.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, so you sleep during the day, not at night. Gotcha.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: I understand. I sleep during the day, not at night.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: 36 fields in the morning, 36 fields.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: In the evening.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, you haven't played my song in a while. I'm
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: hearing all these other artists, all these other collaborators.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Why don't you sing a song? Do you have a
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: song you could sing at the hospital right now?
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: No, I want you to create one. If we play
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the song, will you stop harassing us? If we play
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the song, will you leave us alone?
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Why should I stop harassing you?
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: That's my daily task.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't have Ben as a friend. Where else
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: could I depend?
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I understand.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: All my depends.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Yes. All right, well, let's play the song. We'll play

• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I pop these pills.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I pop in.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Time of sports. I pop some pills before Ben Maller's show.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: And then I pop some more. James! James! You're not singing, James. Oh, Helena.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I want Helena's thing. Where's that beautiful place, Helena, where

  Speaker 1: we need it?
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I know you know the lyrics.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: It's one of your biggest hits.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's it. We just got some big hits.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: You got the ball.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: All right. Are you happy? We played most of the song, James.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I think that's good, right?
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ben.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: What?
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ben.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Should I play the game?
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Show? No.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: We have something for you, though. Thank you for that.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: If you would like to play the game, 877-99 on
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Fox is the number. Let's say hello to Frank the
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Tank in Iowa for some hot Viking talk as we wait.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: There is a line open now, so call now if
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: you want to play.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Mallard's Mountain of Money. There's our buddy Frank the Tank
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: in Iowa. You've been out to the State Fair this year,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Frank the Tank. Did you go out to that?
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: No, no. No, I haven't been out there in quite
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: a while.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Now, what about going up to the Minnesota State Fair?
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I was talking to the great Meat Sauce last week,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: and he was telling me how amazing the State Fair
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: there is in Minnesota. So did you ever drive up
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: to the State Fair in Minnesota? I wouldn't mind doing it, though.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: When I get available, when I have finance available, yeah,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I'll go up there.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: And check out a few Twins games. I'm a huge
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Twins fan.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Look at that. Were you alive when the Twins actually
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: won a World Series or no?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: You were? All right.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's how I became a Twins fan.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Holy Kirby Puckett. Holy Tom Brunanski.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I actually had his novel. What was his name? Oh,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I love this game. I read the whole thing.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Congratulations.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: I read the whole book.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: It's great. It's wonderful.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he pretty much talked about his history in baseball
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: and how he came up in the minors and how
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: he became a big celebrity with the Twins and then
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: won the World Series and so on and so forth.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: And then how he lost his eyesight when he got
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: beamed in the eye back in the late 90s.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're getting the whole long remix of Kirby Puckett,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the late Kirby Puckett, Twins legend from back in the day.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Little pint-sized player.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: He was a pretty good player.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: All right. Hot Kirby talk.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to talk about it. Why would
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: the Vikings get rid of Max Brosnan when he led
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: them to a playoff berth? He led them to a
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: couple of victories last year.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I would say led. I feel
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: like that's the wrong way to describe Max Brosnan. I
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: feel like you're embellishing his contribution to the Minnesota football team.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: He stays hurt a lot.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: And they should have known that when he drafted. Did
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: you watch Max Brosner play, and you think he played well?
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: He did pretty good.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: He led them to a couple of victories. He led
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: them to at least a 500 record.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: They only won one game with him starting a quarterback.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: So they were 1-1, and the numbers were not good.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I remember watching some of those games saying, why is
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: this guy in the NFL?
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: What happened, but clearly your memory is different than mine.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Those zero touchdown throws he had were very important to
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the Vikings.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I know the wide receiver got upset with him. I'll
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: just think his name right now.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, I got to go. This is riveting,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: but I must go. We love you. Frank the Tank
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: from Iowa. What a legend that man is on this show.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: We're going to hang out with Frank the Tank at
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: one of these meet and greets. We've never done the Iowa.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: We've never been to the Iowa for the meet and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: greet and have not done that. Might have to get
• 32:56
