• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Now you said, well, it suits basketball. If it's not
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: only basketball, it's television. And while the NBA regular season
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: does not move the needle, it does not.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna sit here as Oh I'm so excited.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Now it's background noise for me.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I haven't And now the only time it's not background
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: noise is when there's a couple of people yapping on TV.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I'll take it off mute. I didn't use the mute
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: button as much. By the way, it's amazing they get
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: rid of Doris Burke. I don't have to use the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: mute button as much. But anyway, so I was watching
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and it was in the background, you know, fussing around
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: getting ready for the show.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: And there's one thing that I rarely miss and that
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: was back So.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: An old friend and.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: A couple couple of days there. We thought we were
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: gonna lose them.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: They were on life support when Turner said bye bye
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to the NBA, but inside the NBA surviving and they
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: made their much anticipated by some debut on the Four
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Letter Network out of Connecticut and the the TNT crew
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: picking up right where they left off.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: No stumble, no drop, none of that.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: If you didn't see any of this, I don't know
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: if you were watching it or not, but they were there,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: all the gags, all the jokes, goofing on Charles Barkley
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and his weight loss more than that later.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: So if he didn't watch it, maybe not after was
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: it twenty five years?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Man, that's a long run. I got two for Benny
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: versus the penny twenty five year run on TNT.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: The boys started blabbing.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And going on and on and on on the little
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: fledgling cable Channe, which are parentally losing a lot of
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: money because they keep laying people off there in Connecticut.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: So a lot of opinions about this.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I think we'll jump off on that and discuss So
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: let us talk about it. The question. Giving your opening impressions,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of doom and gloom. We were
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: skeptical as well of the new version of Inside the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: NBA with shaq Ernie Kenny and Charles Buckley, but opening impressions.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So I've got disco Ball, zz Top and craft Brewery,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: we are going to have a gut wrenching good time,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: is what we're going to do. And we're gonna make
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: your Babushka's favorite tomato bisk is what we're gonna do.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: All right, So first of all, I am surprised. I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: am it worked, and it was like the favorite pizza
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: place that you used to go to and you hadn't
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: been there in a long time, like mom and pop shop.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: They sell the pie there pizza Daddy will call it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And they moved it to a new strip mall. They
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: brought the same oven over the same people that worked
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: at the restaurant, so it tasted the same different address,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: but the same great taste. And watching Barkley and of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: all places ESPN, it was like a disco Ball in
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a dungeon. Putting Charles Barkley on ESPN, like do you
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: think Bristol, You think Gray Sterile programming, Woke Sports Factory
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: ESPN and when Barkley's on their little soul. Of course
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: they just outsourced it. So I guess the lesson is,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: if it ain't broke, you don't need to fix it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I think we all knew that. But I will be
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Benny Brightside. I will I'm Benny Brideside on this one.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: I thought, well, they'll.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Screw this up. They'll left this up because I work
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: in broadcasting. I know how broadcasting people operate. They have
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: things up. That's what they do, you know, in most places.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And so shockingly, they didn't change the recipe. This is
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: not new coke. They kept the old coke. In fact,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: they went back and they got the.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Coke when they had cocaine.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: And that's how good they got it. They got Ernie There,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Ernie Johnson, e J mister smooth operator, Kenny Smith during
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the pot shack, just tossing out weird one liners. And
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: then Charles Barkley, my god, who does look like a
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: mini me version of himself. They're Barkley dropping a lot
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of weight since we last saw him on TV. In fact,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: he dropped so much were he dropping more weight than
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: ESPN's losing hockey ratings when they put hockey on. But
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: My favorite part. They did not duck the snuff a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: luffogus in the room. Now, what is the snuffalufogus in
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the room. We'll go to Sesame Street for this one.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: They opened up the pregame coverage with a vignette of
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Charles Barkley's greatest HiT's now. The vignette was of Charles
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Barkley trashing ESPN while on ESPN, which is just self deprecating,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: gold right, just absolutely great. Barkley was on the warpath
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: there ripping the car wash treatment. So many people get
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: over there, and so let's not underestimate Okay, let's not
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: underestimate this. Barkley was ESPN's El Dorado. If you feel me, right,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you feel me on that the holy grail of the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: white Whale. I don't know how you want to sit
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and the thing that Bristol could never get. And I've
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: been I got friends that work over there, and then
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for years they're like, oh man, that's the guy they want,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: right that they couldn't get him and they want it,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: kept offering him a lot of money, turned him down.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Now they've got him, and it already feels like and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: that's one night in so who knows. It feels like
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: they're the the guest house, and inside the NBA is
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: like the sovereign nation, surrounded by desk spots, and they're
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the ones setting the rules. Though it's not. It's not
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: ESPN absorbing inside the NBA. It's inside the NBA colonizing
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: within ESBN. So, hey, good job by Mickey Mouse. Way
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to go. You didn't go goofy. Yeah, so you know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: don't touch it up, don't add analytical nerds. I don't
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: need to see some x W NBA player on there
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: hamming it up with Charles Barkley. I'm good on that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Don't don't clean it up. There's nothing to clean up here.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Let shack talk is nonsense. Let Kenny and and and Charles, uh,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you know, bicker back and forth with what they do,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and then you know, Ernie will be they're doing his thing,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and so there you go. Barkley will keep roasting himself
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and that's the secret sauce. It works. We're all good
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and it is still I'm happy to report and must
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: see TV and imagine how the people over at Turner
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: feel like. I guess they're getting some money out of it,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: so I probably don't feel that bad, But that was
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: their show.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: They had it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: That was the top show in all of sports television.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: They had it, and they let it go, although it's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: still kind of there because they're doing it out of
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the same studio. It's yeah, So it's not like Charles
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Barkley actually physically went to ESPN. He did not. They
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: got him because the unicorn needed somewhere to go. And
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Barkley was in talks with NBC as some people he
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: knows over there, but he chose to.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Keep the band together where he was.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: All right now turning the pageot, but we're not going
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to turn far because speaking of the greatest show on
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: sports television these days inside the NBA, A lot of
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: fun with Charles Barkley and his weight loss, and so
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: he saw it and for blind listeners, he's lost a
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: lot of weight. Don't know how many pounds he's lost
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: his lot.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: So how weird was it? Here's the question. How weird was.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: It to see the fun sized we'll call them fun
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: sized version of Charles Barkley. So it looked like Charles
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Barkley was trapped in a laundromat and they shrunk him
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: in a dryer. It's like they I don't know how
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that happened, but they put him in a dryer and
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: he just shrunk. And you know, anytime that's the old joke, right,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: anytime you gain a couple of pounds, Well, well it's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: because my clothes were in the dryer for too long
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that I didn't. It's not the two cheeseburgers I ate
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and the the two chocolate Sundays. No, no, no, it's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the dryer. It's always the dryer. And so I had
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to do a double take. I thought, well, that's weird.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Skinny chuck. Nobody wants to. It's like a skinny skirt steak.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: You want to, you want a nice big stake. It's jarred.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: It's like seeing a Golden Retriever with a buzz cut.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: You're like, well, I know that's a olden Retriever, I think,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: but that's you know, something's a little offt there and
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: some fun size. It's just weird.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Now it is a double edged sword. As someone who lost.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: A great amount of weight in my life, I can
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: relate to what it's like now. I did not do
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: what Charles Barkley did. I did it el natural. I
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: would have cheated if there had been a way, but
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: they didn't exist. And you know when I lost the weight.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But it's a double edged sword, right, And I know
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: this as a and I'll always be a fat person.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I'm like mid sized. I don't think I'm skinny, but
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I'm certainly not skinny. And I'm I'm big, but I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: don't think I'm gigantic like I was. So when fat
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: people lose weight, everyone, I'll tell you what happens because
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I know I've lived it. That's how I relate when
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you lose weight. Here's what you get and people send
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you texts everything. Okay, you people call it you you're sick.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Ain't going on? You want to talk about? You know,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: it's human nature, right. You look at people like that,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you say, well, what's going on here? I wonder if
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: he's got some kind of illness? Look like the mini
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: me version of himself. There. He even had Shaq calling
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Charles Barkley a sex symbol, which of course a great
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: comedy goal there. Now, based on his own endorsement deal
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Charles who promoted the fact that he lost weight, not
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: l natural with a needle, it's fair to say Charles
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Barkley has gotten more weight loss shots than Barry Bond's
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: got the clear and the cream back in the day.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: We'll see how this goes. And Barkley's he's a yo
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: yo up and down most of us, sorry, up and down,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: up and down. You lose the weight, you gain the weight,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: you lose the weight, you gain the weight. There you
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: go and eventually you lose all the weight. Eventually it
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: all goes away.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: But being fat, just fat people are funny.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Being fat was part of the comedy rhythm cracking jokes.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: You're just funnier when you've got a big fat belly
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and you just are and skinny. Chuck feels off brand.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: He's still funny and on it broke his glasses. That
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: was kind of funny. But it's kind of like trimming
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the synchronized foot long beards of zz Top right if
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, they imagine what they look like there,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: so I know they were old, but you just go
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: with the reference so zz Top and they're still the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: same zz Top, but it just doesn't look right right,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: you know. If they're clean shaven, it's like, well, what
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: happened to the foot long and the beards of the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: red beards? I don't understand where they go, I want
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: them back, all right, final fought, So I would be
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: remiss if I did not mention the thing that was
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: around the broadcast and I had the mute button going,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: but I did have it on in the background. They
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: had a doubleheader, the Cadavers and the Knickerbockers from Midtown
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Manhattan just above Penn Station there. They had that at
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the Mecca. I didn't really care much for that game.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: And then they had the main event, as they were
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: billing it, the two young superstars of pro bouncy ball
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: until eventually the NBA decides they want to ship one
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: of them to the Lakers in orchestrated trade. But until
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: then they're in Texas. One in San Antonio. One in Dallas.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: You had Victor Wemby, Niyamma Wemby, the Parisian prodigy, who
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: put it down. Are you not entertained by Wemby forty points,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: fifteen rebounds and no turnovers. I'm told that's good. I'm
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: told sources not close to the situation told me that's good.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Forty points, fifteen rebounds, no turnover. San Antonio gets a
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: blowout win. The seven foot four Wemby, who looks like
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: he's about nine feet tall. Was die no mte for
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: this burst, But that's not the story. The story is
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the other player who made their much bally Hood debut,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: good word bally Hood, they're much Ballyhood debut. That was
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the number one overall fig of the twenty twenty five draft,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: playing for the Dallas basketball team. So question, give me
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on Cooper Flag's regular season NBA debut with
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the mav Rex. So we know it was the great
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Will Rogers that taught us you never get a second
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: chance to make a first impression. And holy smokers, that
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: was quite the introduction for Cooper Flag. He came out
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: looking like he had just walked out of a nice
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: local craft brewery called Frosty Stumblebum. That was a stumble bumb.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: It's not the flag is up. The flag was not up. No, no, no,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the flag is down. The kid from Maine gave birth
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: in the first half. Congratulations. I know that was possible.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: It is you know a couple of years ago was possible.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: But Cooper Flag came out there and gave birth to
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: a goose egg. Yeah yeah, not a single point. You
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and I scored as many points as Cooper Flag the
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: number wha overall in the twenty twenty five draft. He
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: pitched a shutout like a Dodger starter against the Brewers. Now,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: if this were a one man Broadway show, one man
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Broadway show, it would have been canceled by the intermission. Now,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: he did score some points in the second half, the game,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: going lopsided in the second half, ended up Cooper Flag
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: four of thirteen, which again didn't play in the NBA.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's great. Ten points, a lot of
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: them coming once the Spurs had opened things up. Ten rebounds,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: how many of those were off his own misshots?
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Zero assists.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Despite all the hype about him being a jumbo sized
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: point guard and with Kyrie Irving not playing, you had
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: him listed Cooper Flag as the point guard. And let's
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: not forget unless my malord math is off. Congratulations to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Cooper Flag. You had a minus twenty nine plus minus,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: which was the worst of any Dallas player. So there
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: you go. When he was out there, Dallas got apps
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: a bleeping Loutley steamroll.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: They just got steamrolled here.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: So the marquee lights burned out, and I'm sure the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: fanboys and the star worshippers and the media are already
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: making excuses. It's not his fault, it's somebody else's fault.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blom blam blom blum blom blah bloh, just
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: like that.

• 18:48
  Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from Pittsburgh, PA in the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: game of pig Skin Squares, not Hollywood Squares, not Hollywood Squares,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: but we're playing pigskin Squares if you look at the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: card this weekend which begins later on on Thursday in.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: The Hood in Inglewood and up to no good.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: The Chargers hosting the Minnesota Vikings just down the road
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: from where we broadcast from. And so Sunday night, though,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: is the center Square in week eight, You've got Aaron
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Rodgers wrangling the cheeseheads the prize some cheese curds.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: So Rogers chimed in on this.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: He was asked about going against his franchise, the franchise
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that he's most known for it and forever will be
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: known for playing in Wisconsin. And what did he say? Well,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said that facing the Packers
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: this weekend, he said, is quote not a revenge game
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: for me. Rogers stated Green Bay drafted Rogers when he
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: famously if you're old enough to remember the twenty five draft,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: free fall in in free fall in ended up at
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: number twenty four, was supposed to be a top five
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: pick in the draft, ended up all the way down
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: at number twenty four, and he spent the first eighteen
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I'm told that's a long time, eighteen years of his
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: career in the thousand Tundra, living in the suburbs of Appleton, Wisconsin.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Rogers says that he doesn't have any animosity, No animosity
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: towards the organization. He said he had a great relationship
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: with a lot of people with the Packers.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: So it's all we'll combined it all together. It's good
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: jumping off point.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, why is Aaron Rodgers pretending?
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Why is he pretending they playing Green Bay is.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Just another game, that it's not a revenge game, it's
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: just a random game. And Week eight in the NFL.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: So my thoughts on this.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I've got punch bowl, tax deductible and Hunted Cafe, and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things to get and
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: we'll climb or at the very bottom of the ladder,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the corporate ladder here at Fox Sports Radio doing the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: overnight show at the very bottom. But we hope to
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: catch our lucky star. So a Aaron Rodgers can say
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: whatever whatever he wants. Obviously he did and he does
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: all the time. But this particular quote, this particular line
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: from Aaron Rodgers, I put it into the basket of
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: gridiron kabuki.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: It's gridiron kobookie. Mister Rogers neighborhood.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Now, he spent nearly two decades, as we mentioned, almost
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: two decades in Green Bay, Wisconsin, shoveling snow, will paying
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: people to shovel snow for him. And then he got
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: rudely kicked out, shoved out the door, and now he's
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: back squaring up against the Green and Gold. And this
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: is professional wrestling level storyline stuff. Now. The only thing
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: that would have been better if it had been back
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: at lambeau Field. You can't get everything you want now, Rogers,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I know from years of doing talk radio. In fact,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I'm so old. We used to have Rogers on when
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: he was playing a Cal on Saturdays. I did a
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: college football I don't need you to touch up my work.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: But the point is Rogers would come on when he
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: played at Cal a couple times. I guess he wasn't
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: like a do sh at that point. I don't know.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: He was fine whatever, typical meathead athlete had not much
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to say. But we put him on because we had to.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: But Rogers is the king of pretending that he's.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Above it all. Right, he's above it all. No animosity. Now,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: what do we know about Rogers? Whether you like him,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of very polarizing guy. Some people love
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: him a lot. There's other people that think he's the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: devil incarnate I like him as a talk show host.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Good for my job. But what we know about Aaron
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Rodgers is that he is the king of pretending that
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: he's above it all. No animosity, right. The man loves
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: pushing buttons. Push a button here, push a button there.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: He loves pushing buttons more than Patrick Mahomes loves waterburger. Okay,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: that's a lot of love. Aaron Rodgers wrote the book
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: on passive aggressive behavior. He did It's an Idiot's Guide
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: to Passive aggressive Behavior. By downplaying this matchup Rogers is
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: he's stirring the pot.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: And then he's spitting a giant, thick.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Green loogie right in the NFL's marketing punch bowl.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's the NFL's focused on this.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be a big fing deal on the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: NBC crews got it on Sunday night, and he's out
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: there acting like he's two zen.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: I don't believe in revenge, but this is the same guy.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Who has been carrying around grudges like people carry luggage
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: to the airport, and by downplaying it, he's giving himself
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Also the old Daily double. Now the Daily double is
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: he's effing over the marketing people. Because the idea is, Okay,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: we'll get a good quote from Rogers talking about how
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: he really wants to stick it to the Packers. They'll
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: put that in the open and they'll toss to Tarrico
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: and Collinsworth on the Sunday night broadcast. So he downplays it,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: which hurts the marketing. He also gives himself the other
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: part of the daily double. He gives himself the built
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: in excuse if the Steelers end up getting smoked on
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Sunday Night, he'll say, ah, you know, listen, it doesn't matter.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: It's just a regular season game. It's just another game.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: So it's a total soft landing. Now. The only thing
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I was saying about this when I was making a
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: long trip into the studio here, The only thing that
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers could say to lead me to believe that
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: he does not does.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Not want to get a pound of cheese.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Revenge from the Green Bay Packers is that he's a
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: lizard person. Now, if he's a lizard person, okay, there's
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: no emotion. Lizard people don't have emotion. I've read books
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: about lizard people. They don't have emotion. I don't want
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: to go all George Norrey coast to coast on you.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: But there's no emotion. It's not personal.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Otherwise it's always personal.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: It just is now. I never played in the NFL, however,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I have worked at I've worked here a long time.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: But before I worked here, I bounced around the radio
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: dial as you used to do back in the day.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: And whenever I changed radio jobs, I always want to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: stick the dagger right in the heart of the people
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I used to work for. Always. That's how I'm wired.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Most people are wired that way as well. And you
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: know deep down that Rogers would love nothing more than
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: to go out there on Sunday night thro four touchdowns
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: so for two hundred and ninety yards and then stare
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: a hole through Matt Lafleur and the Green Bay Packer
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: coaching staff right there in the silence. Now, if you
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: don't believe me, just ask his imaginary wife, Britney, because
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that Britney Rogers, his fake wife, will tell
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: you all about that. I'm sure she's a lovely lady,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and she's completely real, and she just has somehow, in
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the plugged in world, been able to hide. Maybe she
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: lives like the unibomber and in shack in Montana. All right,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: turning the page, we now go to Jersey. See what
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: is the rule of show bad football makes good talk radio?
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: So following the verbal butcher shop that the Jets owner
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: opened up, put his quarterback in the verbal butcher shop.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: The quarterback Justin Fields responded, responded to the criticism from
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Woody Johnson and what did he say?
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: What did the man say? Well, I will tell you.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I guess we don't have an editing department anymore that
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: puts any sound in but I will just I'll tell
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: you what he said, so you don't have to worry
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: about it if you. Field said, the money quote was,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I don't really have a relationship with Woody Johnson. He
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: did look a little out of sorts Justin Fields while
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: he was talking to the media, But the money quote was,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I don't really have a relationship with Woody Johnson. So
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: the question the Jets quarterback who will most likely be
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: a backup? Although more on that in a minute. Justin
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Field saying that he doesn't really have any kind of
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: relationship with the Jets owner Woody Johnson, does I guess
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: what does that signal to you? That'd be the way
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: we'll frame it.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: What does that signal to you?
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: So I will go first because I'm sitting in front
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: of a microphone, this DIA, I'm sitting front of this,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: so I'm gonna talk first. Justin Fields has relationship problems.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: He does.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: This isn't the Bachelor.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: It's not, although you wouldn't know it from following the Jets.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: It's the NFL. I thought, you don't need to grab
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: dinner with the owner. You need to score touchdowns. I
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: have never met the president of the company that I
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: work for. Fox Sports Radio is a partnership with iHeart Media.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I've never met the big boss at iHeart. I don't
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: know who that is.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: If they walk in the room, I wouldn't know what
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: they look like.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: But I have a job to do, and I do
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the job, and I don't worry about that. And of
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: course I don't usually get ripped by the person that
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: runs the company because they have no idea who I am,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: so they wouldn't rip me. But Fields doesn't really have
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: a relationship with Woody Johnson. He also does not have
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: a relationship with the Forward Pass. That's a bigger problem, right.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: He also has been ghosting. I don't know why he's
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: doing this for some reason, he's been ghosting the end zone.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't recommend that. So if the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Jets want to change quarterback coaches, and why not they
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: do that every other year, may we recommend doctor Phil?
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: And he gave up his daytime talk show a while back,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: so why not doctor Phil. Woody Johnson doesn't want to
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: talk to Justin Fields because watching Justin Field's play professional
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: football for the owner of the Jets is like it's
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: like talking to a brick wall. There is no response,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: there is no response. It's just pain. It's just absolute pain.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: And the Jets to think that these morons gave a
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: guy who's a two time loser thirty million dollars guaranteed,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: thirty million dollars guaranteed for Justin Fields, who proved he
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: couldn't play in Chicago and then confirmed he couldn't play
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, and the Jets said, well, we know you
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: can't play, so we'll bring in Why not? That is
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: not a contract. The thirty million dollars is not a contract.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: You know what that is? That is a tax deductible
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: charity donation inside a helmet. You fill a helmet with money, Okay,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: here's the donation. Let me contact my bean counter and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I'll see we can get that as a rite off
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: there on your taxis Justin Fields needs to stop worrying
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: about relationships and all that stuff and just complete some
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: passes and I'll guarantee it you complete some passes. I
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: don't think he can do. But if you complete some passes,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the owner of the Jets is
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: going to be like, okay, let's go have lunch. I'll
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: take you out on a helicopter out to the Hamptons.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: And so it's the NFL is not couple's therapy. We
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: don't need to worry about that. It's not couple's therapy.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: All right. Now, last word, we stay with the Jets.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: We do the shuffle. Are you ready to do the shuffle?
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: We got to do the shuffle.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: That'd be the quarterback shuffle question. The coach.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I say that loosely because he doesn't seem to know
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: what he's doing. Aaron Glenn made some comments. He was
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: asked about the quarterback situation. Who is going to start
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: a quarterback? And did he say Justin Fields? Did he
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: say Tyrod Taylor or none of the evolve let's go
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: to the audio tape. She's your quarterback. We will have
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: a quarterback on Sunday. I will tell you that. Sorry,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to give them a competitive advantage when
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I have that opportunity, But we would have a quarterback.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Did you Your list was long? So yeah, day to day?
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, what is he dealing with He's dealing with
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: a need that's something he had before.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: So just you know who you're starting quarterback is going
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: to be. You're just not announcing it. So it isn't
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: like this week as a competition where you're going to
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: have I know, to star in quarters.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, so we'd like to let you know they will
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: have a quarterback.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: So that's good.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: They're going to have a quarterback, all right, So eron Glyn,
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: you just heard it right there.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: He will not name a quarterback for the Jets between
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor because in his own words there,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: he doesn't want to give the Bengals a competitive advantage.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: So how does that one taste? How does that taste?
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: So it tastes to me.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: It's a little moldy and a little mil dewey, little moldy,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: little mill Dewey. That's what it tastes like here. So
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn the worst coach in football. Not my opinion,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: it's a fact. He's the only one that's coach in
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Aaron Glenn thinks that he's playing with dungeons
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: and dragons or something like that with the Bengals, and
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: it's like top secret. He's got someone I'm not sure
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: who the person is, but they walk behind him and
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: they've got a briefcase. And in the briefcase are the
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: nuclear codes. And so you can't announce what's going on
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: because you've got the nuclear codes and you want to
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: give those away, and you want to know you have
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: the nuclear codes. And so picking between Justin Fields and
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor what kind of that?
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Do you know what kind of choice that is?
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: That is like going through the Haunted Cafe for Halloween
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: dinner and you're having a Witch's dinner and you're choosing
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: between cockroaches or rats. Do I want the vermin or
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: do I want the cockerroach? What do I want to have?
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: And good luck either way? You are stuck with something
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: nasty capital and nast ate. So the Jets are zero
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: and seven? Is it true that Cincinnati could hand over,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: could hand over a three ring binder with their entire playbook,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: could send a text message with all the audibles they
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: will use in the game this weekend, and they could
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: send them a laminated sheet, the same sheet that Joe
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Flacco will have on his wristband this weekend, and the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Jets would still f it up. They'd still ship over
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: their shoelaces at the thirty five yard line. This is
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: classic bad team fear, and it's why I continue to
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: preach from the bully pulpit.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Bad teams make good talk radio.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: And when you don't have a real advantage, like Aaron Glenn,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: you are in make believe.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: You're pretending.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: You're pretending every man, woman and child knows that Tyrod
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Taylor is going to start at quarterback this weekend. It's
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: just that Aaron Glenn doesn't want to deal with the
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: fallout on that now. I would love for Justin Field's
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: love for him to start on Sunday because he's going
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: to get destroyed. That'll make for another good monologue on
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Sunday night into Monday.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Here we go, here we go, Here we go.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: How about that to the third degree.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is one big vent. Gets grilled, go belover.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: NFL Executive vice president Troy Vincent said on Saturday that
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: with on site kicks having less than five percent recovery
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: rate and maybe time to reconsider alternatives to the onside kick, Ben,
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: do you think the NFL needs an alternative?
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, you want to encourage comebacks, You want to have
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: an audience. Keep watching a game, and you know as
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: a fan, when a team falls behind and they have
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: to get an on sidekick or two on sidekicks, there's
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: no mathematical way that's going to work. So you need
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: to come up with somebody else. Now, they're so afraid
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: of people getting hurt. I get it, because they don't
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: get sued. So how about like a fourth and twenty
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: five or something like that one play to try to
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: get a first down, something along those lines, because what
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the kickoff? Things that waste the time.
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: Next, DeMarcus Cousins had a hot take ahead of the
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: NBA's opening Nike He said that he believes Kevin Durant
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: can win the MVP at thirty seven years old, because
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: the Rockets will win enough game to put him in
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: the conversation. Ben thumbs up or thumbs down.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: That all right, listen, DeMarcus, you're better at basketball than me,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: but your hot takes are terrible. This is like one
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: of the worst takes I've ever There's no chance Kevin
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Gurant's going to win an MVP award. He's not even
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: the best player on the Rockets. The math on that
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: going to work, It's ridiculous. We're in the age of
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the unexpected MVP. Although your guy Luca Coop, you know
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: he's gonna put up monster numbers, so I would say
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: he's I'd bet on him before he was next.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: Speaking of hot takes, our very own colleague, Colin Cowhard,
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: made headlines with a take of his own.
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: This week.
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: He predicted the Orlando Magic will make it to the
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: NBA Finals. Ben, what do you think the ceiling is
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: for the Magic?
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: They'll go far in the playoffs, but they're not going
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals unless unless I'm missing something here,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: they'll they can get to the semi finals.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: How do we do, coope, how'd we do?
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: How'd we do we? I walk past, I pass, I pass.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I like their uniforms, good uniforms, though for their magic.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: It's now time for time for Harry Harry Honey, wait
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: ask Twitter said, this is your questions on Twitter.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Now, Ben, it is to ask manage your question.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Is our answers for the rest of the hour. Waste not,
• 35:57

  Speaker 1: Over to the Kopa loop for the reading of the questions.
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: All right, Ben, We're gonna start off with a question
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: from Georgia Boy. I Georgia boy, what is the worst
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: Halloween candy? E?
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: See? Well, the worst was always when there were people

• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I always like, well, I don't want that, I want
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I want candy. I guess Almond Joy has always been
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: the worst. That's always you always judge it by what's
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: left at the bottom of the bag. It's always Almond Joy.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: That's always the last one left. There's like seven or
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: eight Almond Joys and everything else is gone.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: Lorena, Oh, that's a hard one.
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: But do you remember those old fashioned type candies that
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: almost taste like peanut butter.
• 36:44
  Speaker 9: They come in the orange and black wrappers, and they're
• 36:46
  Speaker 9: like super old.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: What do I know what you're talking about? Yeah, I'm
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: gonna have to go find them.

• 36:53
  Speaker 9: and I just throw them in the trash.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to write the trash. Okay, I'll
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: bring them here and give them to people eat them.
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: But not you know, Coop, I'm enjoyer mounds. They're both terrible.
• 37:03

  Speaker 1: but I'll even pull over whatever on side of the road.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: And Lorena, do you ugh?
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: This is actually one of my horror stories from my childhood.
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: Really had to go to the bathroom. We were house
• 38:10
  Speaker 8: shopping up in Salem with my mom and we missed
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: the exit to the hotel and I really had to go.
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: I'm holding my new unicorn in my lap. I'm crying.
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: I'm like, I have to pay. My Mom's like, if
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: you pay in my car, Lorena, I swear to goodness.
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: So we pulled over underneath the bridge on the side
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: of the freeway on the five in Salem, Oregon, and
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: I had to squat under said bridge.
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: It was horrible, absolutely horrible.

  Speaker 6: in like the forest, like Grandpa.
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: It was terrible. It scarred me from life never again.
• 39:02
  Speaker 9: Doing a number two in the wilderness is diabolical.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: That's the issue with the two is not the two itself.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: It's what happens after the two right problem. That's the issue.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Because there's no way to know.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: It was, no way to properly clean up the you
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: know it was all all right?
• 39:16

• 40:24
  Speaker 7: in the basket.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not a lot of folding that goes on it.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: There's a big sofa thing we throw it on at first,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: and then eventually it gets transferred to where it needs
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: to go. But yeah, it's not getting folded right away.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 40:37
  Speaker 9: I try to be really good about it.
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: I don't have a lot of space to like store it,

  Speaker 8: so I got up pretty much folded and put away.
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: But the pile on my bed does build up every
• 40:44
  Speaker 9: now and then.
