  Speaker 2: Super Bowl and naming Jay-Z the Super Bowl halftime act?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that. And Colts coach Shane Steichen had
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a night to sleep on his quarterback. And he said,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: you know what? I'm going to keep Daniel Jones because
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Daniel Jones has proven that he can do it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: How does that strike you? We'll talk about that.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: And what's your read on Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: ghosting his old Seahawks teammates after the game?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: This still has legs here. People upset.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker, he's a bad teammate, and he should have
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: gone and played grab ass with his old pals. We'll
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: talk about all that and more right now. Settle in.
• 1:00

  Speaker 2: just like next door neighbors.

  Speaker 1: We are, as we go whole hog.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Coast to coast, border to border, and beyond, on the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: vast and absurdly powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the stomach as we turn our stomach over, unless we don't.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I know. I know.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Try to stay calm. Try to stay calm. It's okay.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Everything's all right.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: As we are side-by-side, guaranteed human from the world-famous Fox

  Speaker 2: Willis in the Commonwealth, along with far-out Dave, who retired
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: from the show because he couldn't show up to the
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Mallard meet-and-greet from Ohio. And they all say, hey, Mallard,

• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the lead, my man. Our lead this hour from music class.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: What?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: It's a sports show, dummy. So the NFL hired Jay-Z
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to figure out who should perform at halftime of the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Now, there were rumors last week that Jay-Z
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: was going to be the halftime act at the Super Bowl.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: And everyone said, well, there's no way. He does not have.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: He's a bit of a dope, but he's not that
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: big a dope. He's not going to name himself the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Halftime Act. That would be like the king of all douchebags.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: If you're like, I'm hired to hire the Halftime Act
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: at the Super Bowl. You can't name yourself that. Well,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the news out, if you didn't see it, Jay-Z, after
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a thorough search to try to find a Halftime Act
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: for the Super Bowl, has announced... that he will be
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the halftime act at the Super Bowl. The 56-year-old music
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: mogul will headline Super Bowl 61's halftime show on Valentine's Day, 2027,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: in the hood, in Inglewood, and up to no good.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And that's SoFi Stadium. Now, his company, Roc Nation, was
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: hired by the NFL to select the halftime entertainment, and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: they will produce the show today.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: They're going to keep it all in the family. It's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: all in the family.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Commissioner Roger Goodell, when you think of Roger Goodell, you
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: think big Jay-Z fan, right?
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: No.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Of course, he has to pretend to be. So Goodell
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: says he wanted Jay-Z on stage. He's wanted it for years.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Liar.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: The performance celebrating 30 years. 30 years since the Reasonable
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Doubt debut, the main debut there for Jay-Z.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Back in the day, and he will.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Follow the halftime performances in recent years of Kendrick Lamar
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and Bad Bunny.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Whoop-dee-damn-do.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: All right, so that is a good jumping-off point. Let
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: us discuss the question. What do you make of the
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: social media kerfluffle?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: People upset.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: With Jay-Z being named by Jay-Z as the Super Bowl
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: 61 halftime act. So I've got Miss America, Typhoid Mary,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and Dublin. And we will combine all of these things together,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and we are going to crack a bottle like Wayne.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: In Duluth likes to crack a bottle. That's what we're
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: going to do.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Slam down a beer like the Brewers are doing right now,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: slamming down the Rays. So to lead off here, The uproar.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, the uproar.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: The uproar is, capital R, redonkulous. It is absolutely redonkulous, ridiculous,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: whatever you want to say. A classic case of manufactured
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: outrage over a halftime show.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Not a game.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Not a game.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: We ain't here talking about a halftime show. What's wrong
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: with you? That didn't even happen yet. We're months away
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: from this. Here we are sitting in late October. You've
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: got to go through the rest of the year here.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: You've got the November, the December, the January, and then
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you get to the February, and then there you go, mid-February.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: And people complaining about this. What's wrong with you? If
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: this is the biggest problem in life is getting upset
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: because Jay-Z hired Jay-Z.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: To be the halftime act at the Super Bowl, congratulations. Congratulations.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: You've won the lottery. Of human existence. Way to go. Look,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I understand the optics. We all understand the optics. It's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: not a great look.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Jay-Z picking Jay-Z is just a wee bit cheesy.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Just a wee bit cheesy.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: That's like the owner of a beauty pageant, the person
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that runs the beauty pageant, putting on a sash and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: crowning himself Miss America.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Congratulations.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: And then crying during the acceptance speech. Well, no, you
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: really shouldn't be doing that. But this is the NFL,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and the NFL's corporate entertainment machine is what it is.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: It's trying to take over the world, the National Football League.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: And they're doing what the NFL corporate entertainment industrial complex wants.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: They're selling you something that you did not ask for.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't ask for this.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Did you ask for this? I didn't ask for this.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Now, if you ask me, and I'm going to pretend
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: that you are asking me, if you ask me, the NFL,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I think they should go back to their roots. I
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: am a classic halftime show fan. The original Super Bowl
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: at the L.A. Coliseum in downtown, just adjacent to downtown
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: near the campus of USC.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: You go back to Super Bowl I.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And we should somehow get a Ouija board out and
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: contact the spirit of jazz trumpeter Al Hurt, who's been
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: dead for 27 years. See if he'll come back across
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the pearly gates on the other side to perform at halftime.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: They had a jazz trumpeter. They had some jugglers at
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: halftime for Super Bowl I. So we don't need all this.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: We don't need all these amazing shows and all that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: The only halftime performance in my life, the only halftime
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: performance that truly moved the needle, was Janet Jackson's boobies
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the wardrobe malfunction which caused the company that I work
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: for to lose their mind and pretty much every media
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: company to lose their freaking mind because of Janet Jackson's
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: wardrobe malfunction which back in those days you had to
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: go back and there was uh forget what it was
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: called but there was a thing you could play back
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: television they don't really use it anymore but it was
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: very popular to go back because you had to stop
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: it and look back. We were on the air during
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. I was doing the show with Looney,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: and our guys on the ground called in.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: They're like, oh, my God.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: They didn't even see it, but they heard about it,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and that was in the days before social media really
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: became a main thing.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: But that was it. Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunctioned. Absolutely. That
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: was appointment television. Everything else, eh, no. It's all background noise. Now,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm doing. I've already got my
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: plans for the Super Bowl. My halftime headliner is Mr. Snyder.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: What?
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, the pretzel guy. Snyder's pretzels. And the opening act,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the crunch. The crunch, Chester Cheetah. Chester Cheetah is my
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: opening act for my Super Bowl halftime show. So I've
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: got the cheese puffs. And so Jay-Z might be performing
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: 99 problems, and I'll say, hey, listen, I'll have 99
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: cheese puffs, and the halftime show ain't one. Now, if
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: anything happens, I'll see the clip online.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I'll react to it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: But I just don't care. If I want to see
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: a concert, I'll go to a concert. If I want
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: to see a football game, I'll go to a football game.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I have never been to a concert where they say, okay,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: we're going to have intermission. We're going to have the
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys play the New York Giants at intermission.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Of our concert.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: No.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: But yet you go to a football game, it's like, well,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: we got to have these entertainers.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: No, you don't.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: You don't.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: All right, furthermore, to Indianapolis, follow-up, follow-up, follow-up to a
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: story we talked about in a previous episode of the show.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: After sleeping on it, Colts coach Shane Steichen has decided
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: he wants to double down on dum-da-dum-dum-dum. Yes, he is
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: refusing to bench the stiff Daniel Jones.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: He will remain.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: A problem under center. Indianapolis Colts are 2-5. They've lost
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: not one, not two, but three straight NFL games, which
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: is about a 30-game losing streak in baseball.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: So 2-5.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: And Shane Steichen commenting to the Assembled Media Network. The
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: day after the Colts lost in Minnesota, here's what Shane
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Steichen had to say, asked about the possible quarterback change.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: I got confidence in Daniel. You know, he's proven that
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: he can do it, and we've all seen it. And
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: so we got to go do it. You know, he
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: knows he's got to play better moving forward, and he'll
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: tell you that himself. But I haven't lost that confidence
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: in him because of the preparation he puts in. And,
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: you know, the guys see it every day in the
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: locker room on how he goes about his business. And
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: like I said, you know, we got faith and confidence
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: in him, you know, moving forward.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: It's fascinating.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: There should be documentaries and books about Daniel Jones. Has
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: anyone actually accomplished less and yet had more coaches that
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: have their back than Daniel Jones? Oh my God. The
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: guy blows. And yet every, I feel like it's back
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: with the giants, the same bull crap. Shane Steichen.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Is he an idiot?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I seriously, he's gotta be stupid. He's proven that he
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: can do it.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I must have been out ill that day when he
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: proved he could do it. My God.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Jones, Daniel Jones, four touchdowns, seven interceptions. He has a two-year,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: $ 88 million contract.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Yikes. All right, question. You heard the audio.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Colts coach Shane Steichen says quarterback Daniel Jones has, quote,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: proven that he can do it. How does that strike you?
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: So Shane Steichen must be coaching in a parallel dimension.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I do believe in the multiverse. Because the dimension I'm in,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: you would never say Daniel Jones has proven he can
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: do it. If anything, Daniel Jones has proven he can
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: do it. What exactly has Daniel Jones proven that he
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: can do? Get coaches fired?
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Yeah, definitely.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Get coaches fired. He's a first ballot Hall of Famer
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: in that particular category. Daniel Jones is.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: The NFL's version of a timeshare.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: That's what he is. You keep paying for it. You
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: can't get rid of it. And everybody regrets signing the paperwork.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: That's Daniel Jones. That's him. Pat Shermer.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: He gone.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Joe Judge. Bye-bye. Brian Dayball. All gone.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: All were decommissioned. while with the New York football Giants,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: collateral damage for believing in Daniel Jones, the Danny Dimes experience.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: How'd that go?
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: So Daniel Jones is the typhoid Mary of NFL quarterbacks.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Wherever he goes, wherever he goes, coaches' careers start developing
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: these mysterious illnesses all of a sudden.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not good. It's not good.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: And yet here is Shane Steichen. Insulting the intelligence of
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: the fan base there in Indianapolis. Anybody with a functioning brain.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Stem is like, what are we doing? What is that?
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: My God.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. Seriously, Daniel Jones is the common denominator in
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: all of this. Different coaches, different systems, different teammates, same
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: rotten product. He's not a franchise quarterback. He's a franchise exterminator.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: If you have a bug infestation, who are you going
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: to call?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. All right, last thing. The Kansas City. We go.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: The Chiefs got walloped in Seattle on the Sunday night game.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Running back Kenneth Walker was called out for his attitude.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Did you see this?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: So we mentioned this, I believe, briefly the other day.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: It's still got some legs, so I wanted to talk
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: about it here.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker refused to shake hands with his old coach
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: in Seattle, Mike McDonald, his former teammates, and he just
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: ran off. He ran off the field to the locker room,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: and this upset people who are annoyed, saying he should
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: have been a better teammate. So someone alert the United Nations.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: A lack of diplomacy. A lack of diplomacy. So Walker
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: was asked about this, and he explained, he said, S-word,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: that means poopy. S-word, we lost. I was frustrated. That's
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: about it. He said seeing Seattle celebrate apparently was problematic.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: He did not appreciate the celebration. Now, Walker skipped the
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: traditional post-game celebration Pleasantries, which have become a staple of
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: the NFL, reigniting the age-old debate over competitive spirit or
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: bad sportsmanship. So the question, what is your read? Give
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: me your read on Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker ghosting
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: his old Seahawks teammates. What is your read on this?
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: So I have mixed emotions. I'm ambivalent on this, and
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: here's why. Because Kenneth Walker ghosting his old teammates, I
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: kind of get it. The NFL has turned these post-game
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: handshakes into a reality television reunion special.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: It started out, it was fine, whatever.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: You just played a game of football for three and
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: a half hours, and that's it, and you're done. You
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: have the jersey swap-y swap, which is a staple of
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: the post-game handshake. And it really is like a reality
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: television reunion special.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Who hugged whom? Well, Kenneth Walker did not hug his
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: old coach. Oh, my God, his coach got snubbed? Yes,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: coach got snubbed. Who cares? Seriously, who cares?
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: The post-game handshake is a football version of speed dating.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: It really is.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Everybody's supposed to hug each other. Nobody means it. Nobody
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: means it. And then five minutes later, it's all over,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: and you're back in the locker room, and that's that.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: And it's like, hey, Walker did not want to watch
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: his ex-girlfriend dance with her new boyfriend, so he's like,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I'm out of here.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: See you later.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: And I understand that part of it. The post-game grab-ass
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: ritual is saucy. It is weak sauce. However, let's get
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: out in front of this. Let's not pretend that Kenneth
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Walker is some principled crusader or against phony sportsmanship. That's
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: not what this is about at all. The hypocrisy is
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: rather large on this story. Had Kenneth Walker, in another
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: dimension of the multiverse, had Kenneth Walker gone out and
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns and led the
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Chiefs to victory, I will guarantee you that he would
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: have been doing the Humpty Dance at midfield for and
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: playing grab ass with all his old teammates and all that,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: hugging everybody, mad mugging for the cameras, Kenneth Walker and
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. However, since Seattle lost, or Kansas City
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: lost to Seattle, and his old team, he's like, I
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: don't know about that.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: My God.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: So since they lost, he decided to take a one-way
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: trip to Dublin and give the Irish goodbye. It is
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: all performative nonsense. All of it is performative nonsense. The
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: handshake is performative. The outrage is performative. And the inevitable,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't have done that, I apologize, that is also performative.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: It's all performative! It's the Ben Maller Show.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: If you'd like to be part, you can join us
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: right now at 877-99 on Fox. That's 877-996-6369. Also on
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: X at Ben Maller. Some of you guys have been
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: on hold for a while. We'll get to the calls.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I promise we'll get to that coming up.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Time now for the Maller Riddle of the Day. It's
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: kind of tied together on all this. So it turns
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: out the Swifties, the Taylor Swift fans, are furious about
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: furious with the Seattle Seahawks over blank. Apparently the Taylor
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Swift Marching and Chatter Society, the Swifties, are furious with
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks over blank. That is the Mallard riddle of
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: the day. The answer, we'll get to it, we'll do
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: it next.
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mallard
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific on
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: get anywhere else.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: on how football really works.
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: Continuity is very important but what happens when you get
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: them then they want to hire them and then you
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself but
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: you have to replace them.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Because once you understand what's going on inside the mind
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: So all aspects can be discussed.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: The only thing I haven't done, because I didn't have
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: enough money, I don't own the team.
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: I never owned a team.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

  Speaker 1: She was a little girl. She dreams.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: She said, Someday I'll be grown up doing overnight sports radio.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: That's what I want to do when I grow up.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: And look at her now.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Yay.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Sailor FSR. Sailor FSR Tech Queen. FSR Tech Queen. And
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Koobaloop at a Bronco fan. That's a Bronco fan. Your
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: comments can and will be used against you in the
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: court of sports radio.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Time now for the riddle of the day. Here it is.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Taylor Swift fans are supposedly furious with the Seattle Seahawks
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: over blank. That is the question. What is the answer?
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Notty Burner writes in, says the Swifties are upset with
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks for revealing intimate details from Travis and Taylor's
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: first date.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's that's that's sad. What else do we have?
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Page down here. They banned her music from
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Donkey Sausage. That's his answer. And we've got Ostrich Ant says, hey, Mallard,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: they were mad over Eek's front yard. I say, look
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: at that.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Eek in Roseville, Minnesota. Nice front yard there, Eek. What
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: else do we have? Furious because nobody courtesy flushed. Bad
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: job by them. Because she's a fake fan and a
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: fraud from Alf the Alien O'Piner. She's really an Eagles fan.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Shannon Des Moines says the answer is F.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Al Tuve. Clap, clap, clap. F. Al Tuve. Clap, clap, clap.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: What else do we have?
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: The lack of KC Masterpiece barbecue sauce at Lumen Field.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Well, JT, the wingman, I love you. You're a good man.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: You've been to many Malheur events that we've done over
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: the years, but that is not. Not the top barbecue sauce.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Sweet Baby Ray's is the top barbecue sauce you can
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: buy at a store. What else do we have, Paige Dan?
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Arturo writes and says the Swifties are arguing about whether
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: or not Miller Lite is either less filling or tastes great.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: What else do we have, Paige Dan? They stole all
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: the black licorice from Filler Up Phil. That's his answer.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: All right, Lorena, do you have an answer? It's the
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Malheur riddle of the day. Taylor Swift's fans, the Swifties,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: furious with the Seahawks over blank.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I think that they were mad that they didn't give
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift a box and didn't pander her 500 times
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: during the game. Okay, she did not get enough attention.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Is that correct, survey says?
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Apparently the fans upset, the Swifty fans, that there was
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: a social media post trolling Travis Kelsey after the game.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: And that upset them. Very upset. Devastated fans.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: They act like they did it to her.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: What?
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: She's not playing for the Chiefs, I hate to tell you.
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: It's like when your best friend is mad at someone,
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: they're like, you have to be mad at them too.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, but why? Exactly.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: You're fighting different battles there, is what you're doing. I
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: do love that people are triggered by everything, but social media,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: the age of fake triggering stuff. All right, let's, we
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: do have, I got to get to metaphor, Kyle, but
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: first let's go to Skilly.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Skilly.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: It says in New York, who's cashing a golden ticket.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: So let's play the big golden ticket thing.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Yo.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: That is an amazing use of a golden ticket. This
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: is such a good call. It's so exhilarating.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Yo, what up? I want to play the game, not
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: talk to y'all. I want to play the game.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Well, it says on my screen, golden ticket. So what
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: did you tell Coop? Because it says on my screen,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: golden ticket.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: I told Coop I want to cash in the golden
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: ticket and play the game. Coop is over there messing up.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: You can't use the golden ticket to win another golden ticket.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I don't want to win another golden ticket. I just
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: want to play the game.
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: All right, fine.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Put you on hold.
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: Fine.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: You play the game. What do you want? All right,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: now I need one other person to play the game.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: He's kind of grumpy.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: He really is motivated to play the game. Let's go
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: to Metaphor Kyle, who's in Vegas. This guy's got a wedding,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: the wedding of the century that he's preparing for.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: And that'll be sometime next year. Hello, Metaphor Kyle. Welcome.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: What's up? What's up? What's up? First off, let me
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: just start by saying, um, I didn't realize that if
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: you give a crow something, they give you something back.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: I gave some crows some apple cores the other day,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: and they brought me back a dead rat.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's so sweet.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: That's, yeah, yeah, okay.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Did you eat it? Did you cook it?
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Well, they bring it because they think you're hungry. It's
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: an active kind of.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: I have heard.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: I'm going to give you a gift back. And speaking
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: of gifts back, happy birthday, Lorena.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Why, thank you.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: No problem, no problem. You know.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I still have the rose you gave me.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: What is that?
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: I dried it out and it's in my windowsill.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: I'm deeply touched by that thing.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Hold on a second. Hold on a second. It doesn't sound,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: his line sounds weird all of a sudden.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Metaphor, Kyle.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Let me see here. Let me punch him. Maybe I'll
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: put it back.
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: Go ahead.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You said a little robotic all of a sudden.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: You sound a little computer.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Do I still sound robotic? Better?
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: A little better? A little better. All right. All right. Anywho,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: I'll call it because of two things, right? First off,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: it was a bad month to be named jailer. hands down,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: bad month to be named Jalen. Jalen Subbs, Jalen Brown,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: If you're named Jalen, you might want to stay in
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: your house and not leave your house.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Please, please. You have a 95% rate of not getting
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: injured while staying at home. There's a 5% chance you
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: might slip You know, fall, hit your head, fall down
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: the stairs, something like that. But your name is Jalen.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Please stay home. We don't need you out on the roads.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: We don't need you nowhere. Just stay home. Second thing is, Ben,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: who is structuring all these sports games to be on
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: the same time? Different sports. On a Monday.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're the World Series and the football game?
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: You're upset about after you got Monday Night Raw oh
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: yeah yeah yeah then you have the WNBA game Well,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: nobody was paying attention.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Nobody was watching that.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Then there was NHL games that were pretty, you know,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: NBA games.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad you brought that up because this is
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: a rare occurrence. What you're talking about here, metaphor Kyle,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: is the sports equinox that featured baseball, NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: all playing the same time. On Monday night. It doesn't
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: happen very often. It can only happen this time of
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: the year. And there it was, Monday night. You had
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: an endless amount of crap to watch. But as you said,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: it was all happening at the same time.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: There was nothing happening, though. That's the bad part about it.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: The Eagles game was, eh, whatever. The baseball game was, eh, whatever.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: The few NHL games that were on were like, eh, whatever.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Monday night Raw was, eh, whatever.
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: It was like.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: But you put it all on. So, yeah, I get it.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: I was doing the same thing that you was doing.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: I was flipping through channels, watching a bunch of different things.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: When one got boring, the next one got boringer. That's
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: even a word at this point. But, you know, so
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: on and so forth. But even the missus was sitting
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: there like, this is wild for a Monday night. Yeah, yeah.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Well, it is great because everyone says, well, it's the greatest,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: you know, it's wonderful, greatest night of the year.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Every American sports league is playing. It's just overcrowded. You can't.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: It's too much. Is what it is.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: I will give you a stat, though.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: All right, we have a stat. We'd like to alert
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: all the affiliates. We have a stat from Metaphor Kyle.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: We have a stat.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: NFL actually won the viewership tonight, or last night, whatever,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: with 15 million.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: They don't have the ratings yet.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: They actually do. I just Googled it.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: No, they don't. They release them.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: In the morning. Look it up. You can tell them
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: right now. It was a rough estimate. 15 million viewers.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Baseball had nine. And then everything else was like, whatever.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: I don't believe it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: The official stuff comes out the night after, the morning
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: after ratings come out when the sun comes.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Up and all that.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: It's like, you know what it is? It's the Hunger Games.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Everyone's fighting for eyeballs. is what they're doing.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: That's true. But I mean, you know, the Oklahoma City
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Thunder are in very big trouble. They lost another player
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: and then Russell Westbrook's supposed to be coming back too?
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: This is horrible, Ben.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize you were a Thunder fan. I had
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: no idea.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I'm a Bulls fan.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, I got you.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: We got blown out by Boston, so, you know.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I just want to, for the record, Russell Westbrook, the rumor,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: it's an internet rumor. There's no confirmation metaphor, Kyle, but
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: supposedly he retired. The Thunder need bodies. He's a body.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: He's beloved.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: They gave him the key to the city in Oklahoma City,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: so there's all there.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: All right, thank you. The great metaphor, Kyle. Let's say
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: hello to Greg. who's in the Sunshine State. He's all
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: fired up for the halftime show. And then we're going

  Speaker 2: a couple minutes.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Hello, Greg. Welcome.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Hey, good morning.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: I got a couple things, I guess, for you. Number one,
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: I'm not down with a love fest after the football
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: game's over either. I mean, I played a little modest
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: high school football when I was seven years old all
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: the way up. But I played quarterback, and I tell
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: you what, after every game, I ran off the field, man.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: I went to the car and went home.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: I didn't shake anybody.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: They're competitors.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: They're enemies. I'm not going to say, hey, man, you
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: played great.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: Who cares if you.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Played great or not?
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: It's all about the photo op, Greg. You've got to
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: take the photo, man. Come on, Greg.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: You weren't taking photos in high school with the other
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: players on the other team.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: You weren't doing that.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Come on, man.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: To me, it's attitude. The attitude is game's over, done.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to kiss you and hug you and
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: want to meet you.
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: Mother and hang out with you come on man.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I'm right there i'm right there with you man i
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: remember when i i was around baseball a lot years
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: ago and in baseball during batting practice you never talked
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: to the other team right it was taboo right now
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: they have parties they have cake and balloons it's all
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: they all.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Play gravity but you were like looked down upon about
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: it What's that?
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, let's really think about it. Before a football game,
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: you're looking at the other side of the line and go,
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: I'm going to kill that. And you're growling at the
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: end while you're hugging and smiling and kissing.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: What is that?
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: I've just never got that at all. Hey, number two, though,
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: most importantly, beyond anything else, don't miss the boat on
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: this one. 99 cheese puffs. And the halftime show ain't one.
