- 3:08Speaker 1: you this. It's Sunday's America's Game of the Week, and

- 3:20Speaker 1: play as it happens. Packers-Patriots live on Fox 1. Looking
- 3:27Speaker 1: forward to that. All right, back to it. Our lead
- 3:30Speaker 1: this hour, we go to Baltimore, where the Ravens were
- 3:32Speaker 1: vaporized by the Jacksonville football team, although Jacksonville didn't have
- 3:36Speaker 1: a bunch of gaudy stats. It was not a comedy
- 3:41Speaker 1: of errors. There were a couple of mistakes by Baltimore,
- 3:43Speaker 1: a couple of interceptions on a rainy night in Maryland.
- 3:46Speaker 1: So the Ravens lose with their third-string quarterback, And they
- 3:52Speaker 1: acquired Jacoby Brissett until he gets hurt. Then they'll be
- 3:55Speaker 1: flipping quarterbacks again. But that's not the story here. Prior
- 3:59Speaker 1: to the game, we got an update, update on the
- 4:04Speaker 1: multi-time platinum MVP quarterback and his situation. If you did
- 4:11Speaker 1: not watch the Amazon, you might have missed it. Don't
- 4:14Speaker 1: bury the lead, my man. We're not burying the lead.
- 4:17Speaker 1: We're not. So if you did miss it, Here's the
- 4:21Speaker 1: inside skinny. So the Ravens are reportedly willing to make
- 4:24Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson the highest paid player in the National Football League,
- 4:30Speaker 1: the history of the NFL, despite all the injuries and
- 4:34Speaker 1: the boo-boos and the owies. Now, this comes from Amazon Prime.
- 4:42Speaker 1: They hired some insider. I don't even know this guy's name.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Is it James Palmer? Is that who it is?
- 4:47Speaker 3: I think so.
- 4:48Speaker 4: Anyway.
- 4:49Speaker 1: This cat said that Baltimore hopes to negotiate an extension
- 4:53Speaker 1: this offseason. They have to do something. They're at loggerheads.
- 4:57Speaker 1: They were at loggerheads. Lamar Jackson, his salary cap number
- 5:01Speaker 1: would be $ 84 million in 2027. That's called a poison pill,
- 5:07Speaker 1: meaning there's no way the Ravens can use that number.
- 5:13Speaker 1: They can't do it. So Lamar's got enormous leverage. Just
- 5:18Speaker 1: really big leverage here. He's got a no-trade, no-tag protection.
- 5:24Speaker 1: So there's a lot of good things that Lamar's got
- 5:27Speaker 1: in the contract. Now, Baltimore facing the Quagmire, which is
- 5:30Speaker 1: a good jumping-off point, so let's discuss. The question, what
- 5:34Speaker 1: is the level of importance to this report that the
- 5:38Speaker 1: Ravens are willing to make Lamar Jackson the NFL's highest-paid
- 5:42Speaker 1: player ever? So I've got Cracker Barrel, Toyota of Orange...
- 5:48Speaker 1: and shaggy. And we will combine all of these things together.
- 5:52Speaker 1: We're going to go into the kitchen. We're going to
- 5:54Speaker 1: have the gabagool for Tillio. We're going to have Ben
- 5:58Speaker 1: Jammin says, I want some gumbo and I'd like the jambalaya.
- 6:02Speaker 1: I want that. I said, okay, Ben Jammin, we're going
- 6:04Speaker 1: to do that for you. And then he said, well,
- 6:06Speaker 1: what about the baba ghanoush? We got the baba ghanoush.
- 6:08Speaker 1: We got some matzo ball soup. We're good to go.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Pastrami sandwich, poutine, poutine there on the side. That's the
- 6:14Speaker 1: way to go as well. All right. So first of all,
- 6:18Speaker 1: This is my reaction, the level of importance to the
- 6:21Speaker 1: report that the Ravens are willing to make Lamar Jackson
- 6:24Speaker 1: the highest paid player in NFL history. This is a
- 6:27Speaker 1: hoagie direct off the secret menu at Jimmy John's. It's
- 6:31Speaker 1: a fluffernutter sandwich with peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, two slices
- 6:36Speaker 1: of Public Relations 101 served fresh from the Ministry of Misinformation.
- 6:42Speaker 1: So congratulations on that. So let me get this straight.
- 6:46Speaker 1: So the Ravens leaked the story that they are willing
- 6:49Speaker 1: to make Lamar Jackson the highest-paid player in NFL history. Whee!
- 6:55Speaker 1: Way to go! Congratulations! Now, in an unrelated matter, I'm
- 7:01Speaker 1: announcing right now on the Bully Pulpit, as I sit
- 7:05Speaker 1: atop Hot Take Mountain, that I am willing to fly
- 7:09Speaker 1: first class on Air Force One. Now, that does not
- 7:12Speaker 1: mean that the Secret Service will be saving me a
- 7:15Speaker 1: window seat. I'm just letting you know. The Ravens announcing
- 7:19Speaker 1: that they are willing to send a lot of money
- 7:23Speaker 1: to Lamar Jackson, spend a ton of money on Lamar Jackson.
- 7:26Speaker 1: It's kind of like the people that run Cracker Barrel announcing, hey,
- 7:31Speaker 1: we're Cracker Barrel. We're willing to serve food. Well, thank you.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I didn't think you wanted to serve food. I thought
- 7:38Speaker 1: you just wanted to do that little gift shop thing,
- 7:40Speaker 1: and that's all you wanted to do, and that's it.
- 7:42Speaker 1: But this story has more polyester fiber stuffing than a
- 7:47Speaker 1: Build-A-Bear factory during the holiday season. We're at this point
- 7:53Speaker 1: now with Lamar Jackson. There was debate. Did he want
- 7:57Speaker 1: to play? Did he not want to play? Was he
- 7:59Speaker 1: embellishing the injuries? And then he came back, and he
- 8:01Speaker 1: got hurt right away against Buffalo and all that. So
- 8:06Speaker 1: the questions are rather obvious. Like, okay, the report leaked
- 8:09Speaker 1: by obviously the Ravens that they were willing to pay
- 8:11Speaker 1: Lamar a record-setting contract, but is it fully guaranteed? How
- 8:14Speaker 1: much of it is guaranteed? How big is the signing bonus?
- 8:17Speaker 1: The monopoly money? What are we talking about with all
- 8:20Speaker 1: this stuff? Until the numbers are real, it's just a
- 8:24Speaker 1: press release dressed up as breaking news, breaking news. Baltimore
- 8:29Speaker 1: is sweating in the bunker. because if they lose Lamar,
- 8:34Speaker 1: it's like, okay, well, they're going to go to somebody else.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Some other jabroni's got to come in there, and Lamar
- 8:39Speaker 1: at this point is the one that he has access
- 8:42Speaker 1: to the nuclear codes, and he's a South Florida kid.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Miami doesn't have a quarterback. The Dolphins don't have anybody.
- 8:51Speaker 1: There have been rumors that Lamar wanted to play for
- 8:54Speaker 1: the Dolphins. He's pretty much said that on social media,
- 8:57Speaker 1: so if the Dolphins are interested, would they be Bird-dogging Lamar?
- 9:02Speaker 1: Is this something that's going on? Now, keep in mind,
- 9:04Speaker 1: if you look at the injury chart for Lamar, if
- 9:07Speaker 1: that's on your radar, you would say that is not
- 9:11Speaker 1: a wise investment. Despite all the accolades and all the
- 9:14Speaker 1: success Lamar's had in the regular season, that is not
- 9:18Speaker 1: a tailor-made situation where you just guaranteed success because of
- 9:21Speaker 1: the age, the profile, and so there are some issues. Now, meanwhile,
- 9:26Speaker 1: speaking of issues... Holy crap on a cracker bat, man.
- 9:30Speaker 1: What happened in the Commonwealth where the big pickup of
- 9:33Speaker 1: the offseason, A.J. Brown, is down? Man, wide receiver A.J. Brown,
- 9:42Speaker 1: the knee injury. Oh, my knee! Apparently it's really worn out,
- 9:47Speaker 1: and it is a major problem for the Patriots. Yeah,
- 9:52Speaker 1: Adam Schefter telling us the injury... which caused A.J. Brown
- 9:57Speaker 1: to miss last week's game, is threatening to cause him
- 10:01Speaker 1: to miss this week's game as well. Against the Green
- 10:04Speaker 1: Bay Packers, there are questions about the long-term durability and
- 10:09Speaker 1: whether or not A.J. Brown will ever be an elite
- 10:12Speaker 1: receiver again. And so for the Patriots, this is not
- 10:15Speaker 1: just merely... about missing another game if Brown does miss
- 10:19Speaker 1: the game against the Green Bay Packers, which, by the way,
- 10:22Speaker 1: is America's Game of the Week on Fox 1. It's
- 10:25Speaker 1: about whether their expensive star wide receiver can get back
- 10:31Speaker 1: to that explosive, dependable, very prodigious wide receiver and whether
- 10:38Speaker 1: he'll be healthy enough to justify giving up the draft
- 10:42Speaker 1: capital and then also spending money to get the players.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Here's the question. I feel like it's a rather obvious question.
- 10:50Speaker 1: We'll ask the question anyway. Is the bigger story A.J.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Brown's bad knee, or is it New England's bad judgment?
- 10:59Speaker 1: You make the call. So we went to the Malheur
- 11:03Speaker 1: scale of justice, and the Malheur scales of justice are
- 11:06Speaker 1: leaning heavily towards Mike Vrabel and the Patriots. Mike Vrabel
- 11:11Speaker 1: and the Patriots. The Rams reportedly had a deal in place.
- 11:15Speaker 1: They had the outline. of a trade that would have
- 11:19Speaker 1: sent Devontae Adams, who, oh, by the way, is also hurt.
- 11:21Speaker 1: That would have been an even trade. But they were
- 11:23Speaker 1: going to send Devontae Adams to Philadelphia, and they were
- 11:26Speaker 1: going to get Brown back. And so the trade was
- 11:29Speaker 1: all but worked out. The deal had been agreed upon.
- 11:33Speaker 1: They just had to do the medical stuff. So the
- 11:35Speaker 1: Rams examined A.J. Brown's knee. And keep in mind, it's
- 11:41Speaker 1: pretty much, hey, do you have a pulse? You passed
- 11:44Speaker 1: the physical in the NFL. This thing got red flagged.
- 11:48Speaker 1: His knee got red flagged, and the Rams hit the
- 11:50Speaker 1: emergency eject button, parachuting to safety. So somewhere in a
- 11:56Speaker 1: mansion in the greater L.A. area, Sean McVay's people are
- 12:00Speaker 1: smiling like Cheshire cats while New England should have gone
- 12:06Speaker 1: to the Toyota of Orange. You won't get a lemon.
- 12:10Speaker 1: You won't get a lemon. They got a lemon. It
- 12:12Speaker 1: looks like a lemon. Stuck with a lemon. Nine catches,
- 12:16Speaker 1: 101 yards total. Zero touchdowns in three games. That is
- 12:22Speaker 1: the production. That is your wide receiver one, A.J.
- 12:26Speaker 4: Brown.
- 12:27Speaker 1: No touchdowns, nine catches. That is some tremendous ROI, return
- 12:35Speaker 1: on investment. Now, the Pats GM, Elliot Wolfe, Wolfe, Wolfe, Wolfe,
- 12:41Speaker 1: admitting that the Pats knew about the wear and tear issues,
- 12:46Speaker 1: but he claims the medical staff gave the thumbs up Well,
- 12:51Speaker 1: isn't that special? How convenient, right? Now, my theory is
- 12:55Speaker 1: that Mike Vrabel and A.J. Brown. are besties. They're buddies
- 12:59Speaker 1: back from their days together in Nashville. So the Patriots
- 13:05Speaker 1: brass ignored the two-headed, fire-breathing dragon standing in the living room.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Nothing to see here. Move along. Vrabel had a tough offseason.
- 13:14Speaker 1: His romance with Diana Rossini went out the window, at
- 13:18Speaker 1: least publicly, and so he needed something to make him
- 13:21Speaker 1: feel better. A.J. Brown. Now, this is wild, because if
- 13:25Speaker 1: things don't get better... The Patriots have to make a
- 13:29Speaker 1: decision whether or not they want to get rid of A.J. Brown.
- 13:34Speaker 1: They would have to get some barbecue sauce, some honey
- 13:36Speaker 1: mustard sauce, some pepper, and some other spices because they'd
- 13:41Speaker 1: have to eat a $ 26 million dead cap hit. They'd
- 13:45Speaker 1: have to hit the escape hatch, get rid of the player.
- 13:49Speaker 1: And the Eagles haven't even gotten the big draft pick. That's,
- 13:53Speaker 1: I believe, next year's NFL draft. They get the pick.
- 13:56Speaker 5: So.
- 13:57Speaker 1: That's not a personnel decision. That is a case of
- 14:01Speaker 1: financial malpractice. We asked the question, who goofed? I've got
- 14:05Speaker 1: to know. I think we know who goofed. And so
- 14:07Speaker 1: somebody's going to lose their job. Some medical person with
- 14:10Speaker 1: the Patriots is going to lose their job because you've
- 14:12Speaker 1: got to have a fall guy. Eileen in San Francisco
- 14:15Speaker 1: told me that. You've got to have a fall guy.
- 14:18Speaker 1: We head to Dallas now where Dakota Prescott is throwing
- 14:22Speaker 1: verbal darts at the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff while at
- 14:26Speaker 1: the same time defending George Pickens. You see this? There's
- 14:30Speaker 1: all kinds of rumors. The trade deadline is on Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday.
- 14:34Speaker 1: All kinds of rumors. The winds are howling. The winds
- 14:37Speaker 1: of change are howling. And Dak Prescott suggested that George
- 14:42Speaker 1: Pickens is not to blame for sucking at a time
- 14:46Speaker 1: he cannot suck. He said that Pickens is simply executing
- 14:49Speaker 1: the plays that are called. The implication is rather obvious
- 14:53Speaker 1: from Dak Prescott that the coaching staff has failed. Has failed.
- 14:58Speaker 1: George Pickens, that coaching staff led by Brian Schottenheimer, bears
- 15:02Speaker 1: responsibility for his lack of opportunity. The money quote. from
- 15:09Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. He said, quote, and so that's not on George.
- 15:14Speaker 1: That's not on George. Now, Pickens has just 10 targets
- 15:19Speaker 1: over the last couple of Cowboy games, while someone named
- 15:23Speaker 1: Ryan Flanoy is getting more snaps. Dallas has a losing record.
- 15:29Speaker 1: They have had two horrific losses to Gardner Minshew and
- 15:33Speaker 1: the Cardinals and the second-string quarterback of Tampa Bay. And
- 15:38Speaker 1: both those losses coming at home. So they're 3-5. The
- 15:41Speaker 1: trade deadline's coming up. And we've got another chapter in
- 15:46Speaker 1: Jerry Jones' soap opera brewing. All right, so here's the question.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Is Dakota Prescott throwing Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer under the
- 15:56Speaker 1: bus or simply defending his teammate George Pickens? So after
- 16:03Speaker 1: a minutes-long review and... we looked at the available information,
- 16:09Speaker 1: and when we deliberated the information, and we've determined that
- 16:14Speaker 1: not only is Dak Prescott throwing Shottie under the bus,
- 16:20Speaker 1: he also wins the showcase showdown. Congratulations, Dak. The answer
- 16:24Speaker 1: is all of the above. So he's defending George Pickens,
- 16:28Speaker 1: his co-worker. Stand by your co-worker. Fine. While simultaneously tossing
- 16:33Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer over and the coaching staff under a Greyhound bus.
- 16:38Speaker 1: The wheels on the bus go round and round. The
- 16:40Speaker 1: wheels on the bus go round and round. A beautiful
- 16:43Speaker 1: double play. So Dak wants George Pickens force-fed with the football.
- 16:49Speaker 1: But apparently, Dak forgot something that's pretty important.
- 16:55Speaker 5: Hey, Dak.
- 16:56Speaker 1: You're holding the ball, Dak. You're the one holding the
- 17:00Speaker 1: damn ball. You're not some innocent bystander at a bank robbery.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Every time the Cowboys snap the ball, 99.9%, you're the
- 17:09Speaker 1: one getting the ball. And Dak Prescott, I love that
- 17:11Speaker 1: he's doing this whole shaggy impersonation, singing, it wasn't me.
- 17:18Speaker 1: It wasn't me. Hey, buddy, you're the quarterback. You're the quarterback.
- 17:22Speaker 1: You bear responsibility. for what has become a dysfunctional marriage.
- 17:29Speaker 1: The Cowboys are paying champagne prices. George Pickens is a
- 17:35Speaker 1: franchise player. Now, it's a one-year deal. It's a lot
- 17:37Speaker 1: of money. It's not my money. I don't care, but
- 17:39Speaker 1: it's their money. They're paying Pickens top dollar, and they're
- 17:43Speaker 1: getting served lukewarm tap water in a Dixie cup, a
- 17:47Speaker 1: little baby Dixie cup. And so there's Jerry Jones... with
- 17:52Speaker 1: that evil smile and chuckle off to the side. And
- 17:56Speaker 1: he has assembled, yet again, another mini three-ring circus here
- 18:00Speaker 1: where the elephants are miserable, the clowns are calling plays,
- 18:04Speaker 1: and the ringmaster keeps selling tickets because the suckers keep
- 18:07Speaker 1: coming in. And we're not even in the eye of
- 18:10Speaker 1: the storm yet for the Cowboys. It can get much worse, much, much,
- 18:15Speaker 1: much worse. How about them Cowboys? All right, it is
- 18:19Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show as we roll on. and on
- 18:23Speaker 1: and on if you would like to be part 877-99

- 19:18Speaker 4: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
- 19:20Speaker 7: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
- 19:21Speaker 4: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
- 19:25Speaker 7: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
- 19:28Speaker 7: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
- 19:30Speaker 7: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
- 19:33Speaker 7: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
- 19:36Speaker 8: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
- 19:39Speaker 8: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
- 19:42Speaker 8: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
- 19:45Speaker 8: get anywhere else.
- 19:46Speaker 7: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcell.
- 19:50Speaker 7: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
- 19:53Speaker 7: on how football really works.
- 19:55Speaker 4: Continuity is very important but what happens when you get
- 19:59Speaker 4: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize
- 20:03Speaker 4: them then they want to hire them and then you
- 20:06Speaker 4: can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself but
- 20:10Speaker 4: you have to replace.
- 20:11Speaker 7: Them Because once you understand what's going on inside the
- 20:14Speaker 7: mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
- 20:18Speaker 4: So all aspects can be discussed.
- 20:20Speaker 8: The only thing I haven't done, because I didn't have
- 20:22Speaker 8: enough money, I don't own the team.

- 22:17Speaker 1: story when i was a young young lad in radio
- 22:20Speaker 1: i was doing a nighttime show during the week my
- 22:23Speaker 1: first like regular gig and then the boss says hey
- 22:27Speaker 1: why don't we want you to do a saturday morning
- 22:29Speaker 1: so i said why the hell would i want to
- 22:30Speaker 1: do a saturday morning show And he says, well, that's
- 22:34Speaker 1: the day there's a lot of dudes listening on Saturday morning.
- 22:37Speaker 1: I said, why would dudes be listening on Saturday morning?
- 22:39Speaker 1: Don't they sleep in? He says, let me explain to you.
- 22:42Speaker 1: The birds and the bees are the honey-do list. I said,
- 22:44Speaker 1: what the F? I was a single guy. I didn't
- 22:46Speaker 1: know what he was talking about. He said, the honey-do list.
- 22:49Speaker 1: He gave me all these statistics about when people take
- 22:53Speaker 1: care of stuff around the house, the gardening and all
- 22:57Speaker 1: that crap and the stuff that you need to fix
- 22:59Speaker 1: and you're working on the car and the garage or whatever.
- 23:01Speaker 1: The honey-do list. Anyway, that just popped into my head.
- 23:05Speaker 1: So do what you want with that. And let's see here. Yeah. Yeah.
- 23:10Speaker 1: Still go for it. Go ahead. Knock yourself out. Let's
- 23:13Speaker 1: see if we have any good comments. I beg for
- 23:15Speaker 1: good comments. Let's see. Do we get any good comments?
- 23:17Speaker 1: Alf the Alien O'Piner says, did the Malheur medical staff
- 23:21Speaker 1: give the green light to purchase to the purchase of
- 23:25Speaker 1: the Malheur mobile that turned out to be a lemon? Yes,
- 23:27Speaker 1: I did get a lemon. And it was the– I
- 23:30Speaker 1: was just actually talking to my wife about this the
- 23:31Speaker 1: other day because we got a lemon years ago. And
- 23:35Speaker 1: typically when you have a lemon, you have to hire
- 23:38Speaker 1: a lawyer and you.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Have to– Lemon laws.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Yeah, the lemon law, right? This car was so effed up.
- 23:45Speaker 1: The car that we got was so effed up. The
- 23:48Speaker 1: car dealer– we had, obviously, a warranty. And so they
- 23:52Speaker 1: couldn't fix it. They told us, hey, listen, this is
- 23:55Speaker 1: a lemon. You don't even have to hire a lawyer
- 23:57Speaker 1: for this. Which we probably should have hired a lawyer.
- 23:59Speaker 1: It's so bad, we're just going to give him... We'll
- 24:02Speaker 1: pick another one. They couldn't fix it. They could not
- 24:06Speaker 1: fix it. So, anyway, Fingers Malloy writes in. I don't
- 24:10Speaker 1: know if that's the real name. Fingers Malloy says, how
- 24:12Speaker 1: long is your typical work day? How early, pre-show, post-show?
- 24:16Speaker 1: There you go. I've always been curious. Send me a
- 24:20Speaker 1: message on the fifth hour. It's a long day. We
- 24:24Speaker 1: have table reads, all that stuff.
- 24:27Speaker 10: It's... Yeah, we go over all of our jokes prior
- 24:30Speaker 10: to the show.
- 24:31Speaker 1: That is correct. We have to edit out the ones
- 24:33Speaker 1: that don't work. And we have a blue ribbon panel
- 24:37Speaker 1: that has to approve what we talk about in the monologue.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Then there's the practice calls with our paid callers.
- 24:43Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 24:43Speaker 2: I can't forget that.
- 24:45Speaker 4: Yes.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Like the leprechaun.
- 24:47Speaker 1: And every quarter... I don't know if we should talk
- 24:49Speaker 1: about this. Every quarter we go over the budget and
- 24:52Speaker 1: we have to, like, we couldn't afford Jet Hoof.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Oh, I hate that day. I hate budget day.
- 24:57Speaker 1: We've had, remember, we were all upset. I literally threw
- 25:02Speaker 1: a stapler across the room when we could no longer
- 25:04Speaker 1: afford Sir Scratchoff. It almost hit my head.
- 25:07Speaker 2: It was crazy.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Right? I mean, and much like the Simpsons, we've had
- 25:11Speaker 1: to kill characters off. Unfortunately, they've actually died. But, you know,
- 25:16Speaker 1: it happens. So what are you going to do? Anyway,
- 25:20Speaker 1: the Baltimore Freeloader account writes and says, what a night,
- 25:22Speaker 1: what a game. Just got back and was able to
- 25:26Speaker 1: unload all the free candy, munchies, beef jerky, and pretzels
- 25:31Speaker 1: I could find. Fortunately, I was able to grab more
- 25:34Speaker 1: food than the Ravens were able to grab points. It's
- 25:38Speaker 1: weird players weren't so talkative afterwards. I wonder why. It's odd.
- 25:44Speaker 1: It's an odd thing. Odd situation. Let's take some calls.
- 25:47Speaker 1: We've got the Coop Scoop on entertainment. Hooray for Hollywood.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Hooray for Hollywood. That'll be coming up in a couple.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Mike the Leprechaun. Let's see if
- 25:58Speaker 1: his phone's working today. Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.
- 26:02Speaker 3: Yes, my phone is working. Happy Friday. I'm not a
- 26:06Speaker 3: paid caller. You should charge people to be on your show.
- 26:10Speaker 3: That's an idea for you.
- 26:12Speaker 1: It's a good idea. You should start charging people. Yeah, no, no,
- 26:16Speaker 1: hold on. Last hour, we're going to take the idea
- 26:19Speaker 1: that Michigan had, and we're going to start collecting urine,
- 26:23Speaker 1: and we're going to make it fertilizer, and then we're
- 26:26Speaker 1: going to sell it and make a lot of money.
- 26:28Speaker 1: That's the plan.
- 26:28Speaker 3: I guessed that one right, and I did mention Doc Mike.
- 26:31Speaker 3: You know what the new, it's called P-conomics, to make
- 26:36Speaker 3: money out of your pee, P-conomics. I, no, I.
- 26:41Speaker 1: No, that's a dad joke. Yeah, that's dad. There you go.
- 26:46Speaker 3: All right.
- 26:46Speaker 10: Wasn't lame jokes last hour?
- 26:48Speaker 1: That was last hour.
- 26:50Speaker 10: Didn't you send in jokes too? So why didn't you
- 26:52Speaker 10: submit that one?
- 26:53Speaker 3: It just came into my brain.
- 26:57Speaker 1: I doubt that.
- 26:57Speaker 2: You don't do anything naturally. You have everything written down.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Just like we do in the pre-show.
- 27:01Speaker 3: That came into my head during Ben. Oh, Lorena, you
- 27:05Speaker 3: got busted by the cops, I heard.
- 27:07Speaker 6: Barely. Yeah, I, yes.
- 27:10Speaker 5: Honey, do this.
- 27:10Speaker 3: Honey, do that.
- 27:12Speaker 6: I'm not your honey.
- 27:15Speaker 3: Is Poppy around enough?
- 27:16Speaker 1: Let me see if he's there. All right, hold on
- 27:19Speaker 1: a second. Let me put you on hold. Poppy in
- 27:21Speaker 1: San Diego. Hello, Poppy. Are you there, Poppy? Yes, I'm here.
- 27:25Speaker 6: Hello there.

- 27:30Speaker 1: Your partner in crime, Poppy, is here.
- 27:32Speaker 3: Poppy's six. Pick six.
- 27:35Speaker 1: No, we're not doing six picks. We're not doing six picks.
- 27:38Speaker 1: The most I will allow you to do is three.
- 27:41Speaker 1: How about one?
- 27:43Speaker 9: One?
- 27:43Speaker 3: I don't know. Pick the Pats game.
- 27:46Speaker 1: No, you just pick the Pats every week. It's the
- 27:49Speaker 1: same thing. I know. I've said it 10,000 times. I
- 27:53Speaker 1: know it's the game of the week. I'm aware it's
- 27:55Speaker 1: the game of the week on Fox 1. I get it.

- 30:10Speaker 2: realize how long that really is.
- 30:12Speaker 10: In total, it was going to be out about 38.50 anyway,
- 30:16Speaker 10: so it wasn't too much longer, but my ears would
- 30:18Speaker 10: have started to bleed.
- 30:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you. Supermarket Steve says, I missed the
- 30:24Speaker 1: first hour monologue and part of the last one. Did

- 30:35Speaker 1: a bad job by you. And what else do we have?
- 30:38Speaker 9: Let's see.
- 30:39Speaker 1: Page down. I see Robbie the Mariner fan is up
- 30:41Speaker 1: with us listening to the show. Let's go to Marcel
- 30:47Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. Hello, Marcel. Welcome. Oh, good morning, Ben, Lorena,
- 30:53Speaker 1: and Coop-Doo-Loop. That is the dumbest ever NFL picks where Mike.
- 30:59Speaker 6: The Idiot-Con and Poppy has ever heard in years.
- 31:03Speaker 3: I give them a negative 100%.
- 31:05Speaker 6: Zero.
- 31:07Speaker 3: Tolerance!
- 31:09Speaker 1: How do you really feel, Marcel? How do you really feel?
- 31:13Speaker 6: That is, for these two, completely unacceptable and terrible.
- 31:19Speaker 1: Well, you are, I've heard from Le Leprechaun, you're a
- 31:22Speaker 1: professional gambler. Is that correct?
- 31:25Speaker 6: No, I don't.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Oh, you're not a gambler.
- 31:28Speaker 4: Okay.
- 31:29Speaker 2: If I gamble, I'm going to jail.
- 31:32Speaker 1: If you were to pick up a vice, Marcel, what
- 31:36Speaker 1: would your vice be? What would it be?
- 31:39Speaker 6: Don't gamble.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Don't curse at someone.
- 31:43Speaker 10: Keep it clean.
- 31:45Speaker 1: No, no, that's not the question. The question was, if
- 31:47Speaker 1: you could have a vice, what would it be? Like,
- 31:51Speaker 1: what would your go-to vice be? Like, you know what
- 31:54Speaker 1: the vice is, like addiction, adultery, aggression, what else? Alcoholism,
- 31:59Speaker 1: there's a bunch of different things.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Don't drink alcohol.
- 32:03Speaker 3: No?
- 32:04Speaker 6: Don't drink it.
- 32:06Speaker 1: There's a lot of character vices. I don't know.
- 32:07Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 32:09Speaker 1: All right, well, you know what to do here, Marcel.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Come on, you know what time it is.
- 32:12Speaker 3: Oh, yes, it is.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Put the 100% of me, folks, because the Coop Scoop
- 32:15Speaker 1: on Entertainment starts right.
- 32:17Speaker 3: Now, and here is Justin Cooper, our buckle.
- 32:20Speaker 5: Fan on act.
- 32:21Speaker 6: All yours.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Marcel.
- 32:26Speaker 9: All right, we're going to start off Coop Scoop on
- 32:28Speaker 9: Entertainment in the theater, as we always do, and there's
- 32:32Speaker 9: a couple movies that I want to point out this weekend.
- 32:34Speaker 9: The first one is Godzilla Minus Zero. And so this
- 32:39Speaker 9: is the sequel to the highly successful Godzilla Minus One from,
- 32:44Speaker 9: I think it was like three years ago now. I
- 32:47Speaker 9: believe it was in 2023. It's a Japanese film, so
- 32:51Speaker 9: I'm not going to tell you any of the actors
- 32:54Speaker 9: that star in it because I will butcher their names.
- 32:57Speaker 9: But basically, war has reduced Japan to zero and Godzilla
- 33:01Speaker 9: plunged it into minus. Two years have passed since then.
- 33:04Speaker 9: The country has faced agonizing struggles to achieve recovery and
- 33:07Speaker 9: finally reclaim its daily life. And just as humanity managed
- 33:12Speaker 9: to cling to a hard one piece, a new threat strikes.
- 33:17Speaker 2: Sounds exciting, right?
- 33:18Speaker 1: How great is it that Godzilla, the original Godzilla, debuted
- 33:22Speaker 1: in the 1950s?
- 33:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:22Speaker 1: 70 something almost probably 75 close to 75 years later
- 33:28Speaker 1: they're still making Godzilla.
- 33:30Speaker 9: Movies yep still making money still you know doing well
- 33:34Speaker 9: I do have something I want to say about that
- 33:35Speaker 9: movie really.
- 33:35Speaker 1: Fast Randy would like to say something.
- 33:38Speaker 10: Godzilla's scream is exponentially louder than it needs to be
- 33:41Speaker 10: and there have been people who have been wanting to
- 33:43Speaker 10: use earplugs for that and it's all in subtitles anyway
- 33:47Speaker 10: so it actually doesn't block you from.
- 33:48Speaker 2: Hearing anything Okay, well, that's your prerogative.
- 33:52Speaker 1: Have you seen the movie?
- 33:52Speaker 10: It's not my prerogative.
- 33:54Speaker 2: She's probably referring to the first one, right? No, it's
- 33:57Speaker 2: this one. Oh, well, then how do you know?
- 34:00Speaker 1: Yeah, you haven't seen it, have you?
- 34:01Speaker 10: No, but I was watching reviews on it.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Who cares?
- 34:04Speaker 1: Make your own review. Who cares what those people say?
- 34:06Speaker 1: You live your own life.
- 34:07Speaker 6: All right.
- 34:07Speaker 10: Well, when your ears are blown out, you just let
- 34:09Speaker 10: me know.
- 34:10Speaker 1: My ears are already blown. I've been talking radio for
- 34:12Speaker 1: 30 years.
- 34:12Speaker 2: Have you ever heard his headphones? You don't count. You're right.
- 34:14Speaker 1: I can't hear anything.
- 34:15Speaker 2: The echo is serious.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I can't hear a damn thing.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Go ahead.
- 34:20Speaker 9: Also in theaters is a movie called Wild Horse 9.
- 34:23Speaker 9: This one I'm pretty excited about. It's getting rave reviews
- 34:27Speaker 9: from the critics, 94% on Rotten Tomatoes so far. It
- 34:30Speaker 9: stars John Malkovich. Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi, Tom Waits, and
- 34:36Speaker 9: Parker Posey. CIA agents Chris and Lee face a trust-testing
- 34:42Speaker 9: mission from Santiago to Easter Island during 1973 in Chile.
- 34:48Speaker 9: And it looks pretty good. It looks like an interesting film.
- 34:51Speaker 9: So that is out in theaters this weekend as well.
- 34:55Speaker 9: Moving over to television. First, I'm going to start off
- 34:58Speaker 9: with what I believe is a documentary. I just found
- 35:03Speaker 9: out about this by logging into my Netflix account. I
- 35:05Speaker 9: saw it right there. It is called Funny Money, The
- 35:08Speaker 9: Dane Cook Story. And, yes, basically there's interviews with Dane
- 35:13Speaker 9: Cook in this movie, and he talks about how after
- 35:16Speaker 9: he achieved superstar status in 2008– That.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Was not because it was he on like Talk Soup.
- 35:23Speaker 1: Was that the show?
- 35:24Speaker 2: Was he on that?
- 35:25Speaker 1: Remember that show?
- 35:26Speaker 9: I do remember that. I think you're thinking of confusing him. Yeah,
- 35:31Speaker 9: that's I forget his name.
- 35:34Speaker 6: All right.
- 35:35Speaker 1: I stand.
- 35:35Speaker 2: Joel McHale, I think.
- 35:36Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 35:37Speaker 1: They're all the same. You know, all those guys.
- 35:38Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 35:40Speaker 9: Dan Cook was like the comedian when I was in
- 35:43Speaker 9: high school. But yeah, when at the height of his
- 35:46Speaker 9: fame and success, he discovered that his half-brother and business
- 35:49Speaker 9: manager had embezzled.
- 35:51Speaker 2: $ 12 million.
- 35:53Speaker 5: Shut up.
- 35:54Speaker 1: That seems like a problem.
- 35:55Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 35:56Speaker 9: So he talks about that in this documentary. That's available
