Hour 4- Raiders should consider trading #1 pick

About this episode

Ben Maller discusses why Tom Brady should be willing to trade the #1 pick which should be Fernando Mendoza to the Jets if they want to give up multiple first-round picks. He then discusses why the Bills' interest in signing free agent WR's Romeo Doubs and Rashid Shaheed isn't the answer. Those aren't big enough names to help Josh Allen. Ben then debates whether the Vikings will move on from the JJ McCarthy era already after just two seasons.

Microphones of FSR emanating live from the joint, not that joint, the 360 joints, we all have in our human

buddies, unless you're a lizard person, and then who knows? From the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, and legally blind Christopher who spent about seven hundred dollars on hold from London, reminds us that this hour made possible by our friends at tire rack, over 40 years tire rack as men helping customers like just Josh in Cincinnati, Justin in Cincinnati, and Robbie the Mayor and a fan find the right tires for how, what, and where they drive, Inca Terror, installation options like a mobile, tire installation, tire rack.com, the way tire buying should be now moving man Matt in Boston driving the highways and byways of America, so can you tell me about express employment professional? Yes, moving man Matt with the mobile mall or billboard, absolutely facing a peak season

looking for a new team member workforce solutions from express employment professionals they hiring easier visit express pros.com to find an office and see how express can help you hire smarter and faster and saw our buddy Mr. Irrigation in Houston he's tossing around some big ideas some things he's working on for the show which would be awesome. Don't want to give anything away in case it doesn't happen, don't want to jinx it and he sent me a message and I have to put it on the show. But I'll lead this hour from the pig skin gossip machine, gossip machine some chatter you know we love chatter some chatter over the weekend that the J-E-T-S suck, suck, suck are going to make an effort to pry away the number one overall pick number one 2026 NFOs wrapped in Pittsburgh in April from the

British who have that top pick they would like to trade up there has been some noise that the jets are horny to get their hands on Fernando Mendoza the Mendoza line however Las Vegas is not expected to trade the pick okay that is a good jumping off point let us discuss the question should Tom Brady your advising Tom Brady the Raiders number one pick in the draft to see him assuming again the chatter the jets are interested so I've gotten marshmallow reality TV and Google and we will combine all of these things together and we are going to have the gobbagool is what we're going to have and a little side of the little side of the thousand percent if someone is out there

in this case the jets if they are dumb and they're so dumb that they offer you money, bitcoin whatever it might be to get their hands on Fernando Mendoza you don't hesitate before they change their mind you accept the offer before they change their mind it's not a sure thing he's just not it's being sold like the second coming the Messiah he's not that guy you're not that guy you're not that guy not a generational situation here for Fernando Mendoza it's not transformational you don't just add him like you add water and you're good to go no very mechanical robotic quarterback those guys usually in the fourth round but he picked up a bunch of awards and Indiana had the magic carpet ride fueled by mark

Cuban's money and they went out and won the whole shabang right the whole Monty and they won everything so instead of being a fourth round draft pick he's going to be overdrafted now whether he ends up being the number one pick seems like it's going to be the number one pick for the NFL has mastered this time of the year it's like a delicate test and it's the NFL's hype deli and they make a lot of fluffer nutters sandwiches the fluffer nutters the one with that extra marshmallow fluff there's a lot of marshmallow fluff that's out there right now regarding Fernando Mendoza and the first round this is the guy blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and the NFL mouthpieces those that are in the tank for the NFL they continue on here

oh yeah we love that we're going to add on to that we're going to turn on the deli slicer and we're going to set it on high thin cut and we're going to make some baloney and we're going to sell that baloney at the end of the day it's a matter we're the NFL we say it's filet mignon it's filet mignon but no it's actually baloney well i know that but we're saying it's filet mignon and these people are so stupid our customers that they'll accept it okay good sign me up for that okay i want the baloney which is actually for it's not filet mignon but it's baloney but i want that they'll potentially pass away the legacy the franchise and everything that that our Davis is stood for the commitment to excellence and all that

because you need a quarterback this is the guy that's being li perd from the top quarterback so therefore you take the guy Uh, that's how you end up with a dad level talent as in a dime a dozen dad, dime a dozen talent. And if somebody, somebody offers you, if you're the Raiders, a King's ransom. You use again, you sprint to the podium for those of you in the back of the room. If you're Tom Brady and the Jets or somebody else wants to get the number one peg, you say, okay, thank you. Thank you. We'll send you some chocolates. Thank you very much. Right? And you do it because whatever the, I'm not confident that they're going to do it, by the way, because whatever Tom Brady has touched has turned, you know what, it's not been pretty here. He does not appear to know what he's doing. Whatever skill set Tom Brady had playing for the Patriots in the box, he's lost that. Uh, he's lost that since he got into the front office, the Raiders, just horrific, just a one of the worst all time. But nobody can say that because it's

Tom Brady and you can't point that out. That no problem. Kill him. Michael Jordan, though, when he was running the Wizards and the Charlotte Hornets into the ground. But for some reason, Tom Brady is beyond criticism. I don't understand why. Anyway, uh, so listen, whatever the obvious move is, I'm relatively confident that Tom Brady would zig when he was supposed to zag and zig right into rush hour traffic and get run over by a dumb truck. So all right. Now, furthermore, to Buffalo. Here we go. Buffalo. Here we go. So we heard over the weekend that the bills are being linked to not one, but two free agent wide receivers, players that will be on the market, the gossip mill linking the Buffalo bills to Packers free agent wide receiver Romeo dobs and Seahawk and also former Saints free agent wide receiver special teams player Rashid Shaheed as well. Both

possibility, both possibility to go to the Buffalo football team. So the question. What's the signal? All right. What is this signal you're picking up from the Buffalo bills being connected to Romeo dobs who's been playing in Green Bay recently and Rashid Shaheed who finished last year with Seattle got to the Super Bowl. So the signal I'm seeing is a it's in the sky. It's a P for pathetic. That's that's what I'm seeing here. It's like it's bad reality TV. There was this show years ago on. It was called extreme couponing extreme couponing. And that's what this is. It's not anymore. But that's what that is. If Buffalo just imagine their front office. They got the scissors out. They got the they found a newspaper and their clip on. They're cutting the coupons. They're doing them the clipping of the coupons. And they're going to buy eight gallons of mayonnaise. Now they don't need eight gallons of mayonnaise. But that's the deal. You have to buy eight gallons. And then it's like 10 cents a gallon. So okay. We'll do eight gallons. And that'll cost us 80 cents.

Not that we need that. But we'll do it. Why not? And so you think about the AFC. The arms raised. They flushed a season for Josh Allen last year. He of course screwed up in the game in Denver and all that. It sounds if this is accurate. And it's all we have to go on. It sounds like the Buffalo bills are avoiding the top end of the market entirely. Well, it's the salary cap. Oh, I can't we can't sign any good because the salary can't shut up. I don't stop with the bargain bin hunting and all that stuff. And now Dobbs and Shae the two guys they're looking at here are second tier guys. That's it. They're second tier guys here. Neither one of them would dramatically alter the arc of the Buffalo bills. They just would not. It would be another disservice to Josh Allen. Now Josh Allen does have to elevate people around him. It's a two way street though. The front office also needs to get him some better players around him. Neither one of these guys dramatically again

changes anything. And so it's kind of like you have a massive crack in the foundation of your home. And you know it's there. You can't ignore it. You're like we got to fix it. And it's going to cost a lot of money. So rather than getting it prepared properly or repaired properly rather getting it fixed up and all that stuff. What you do is you go down to office depot. Why why not home depot? Why not lows? Oh, no, you go to office depot. You buy a big box of the copy and print paper and then you just paper over the crack. And then you're good. That's all you do. Well, you fixed it. Well, not really. It's a cosmetic thing. And you just papered over the cracks and all that. So they're tiptoeing. It sounds in Buffalo like any meaningful upgrade. Now I looked it up. Well, Dobbs has been around for a while. I've ever had a bunch of touchdowns one year for the Green Bay Packers. And Shaheed was the broadcasters wearing knee pads. Every time he took the field for the Seahawks, they were really making them feel good. I mean, big deal. Oh my god. I thought he was just a mediocre player in New Orleans, but the way the NFL media rallied around him. You

thought it was God's gift to football. Anyway. Uh, so neither one of these guys has even had 60 catches in a season. Neither one of them has had 725 yards in a season. And so those are like number three wide receivers who the in Buffalo, if you look at the bills, they would become number two or number one wide receivers with the Buffalo bills. And that's how bad it is. The talent pool is so low there that that's that's what we're looking at. And you're trying to box with a middleweight in the heavyweight division. The person's going to get killed. That's no way to do it. All right. Now lastly, to Minnesota, we go speaking of the kudis, whew, uh, whisper campaign, whisper campaign to combines over, but the whisper campaign indicating that the Vikings are quietly exploring an exit strategy for JJ McCarthy. Per the report, the team has said to be quote, really down on JJ McCarthy and is ready to move off of him

now after just two years to with a team. All right. Question. So what stands out about the Vikings, looking to flip the page and move on from the quarterback JJ McCarthy era of misery. So the first thing, the first thing that stands out, this is not being done quietly. Nothing is being done quietly. Thank God. I have a talk show to do every day. It says it's not done quietly. The NFL doesn't do quiet. They do not do quiet by any reasonable measurement, any reasonable measurement. McCarthy has done a vaudevillian style. Printful. And all the experts, all the smartest people in the room, there was no better situation for a quarterback than the go to minus. So you remember the, the level of die, die, diarrhea that was being served up in bottles. Yes. Oh, the Vikings had this great record with that stiff Sam Donald. They had a quarterback whisper

at coach to stud wide receivers. What could be bet nobody has it better than whoever the Vikings were going to take in that draft where they drafted all the quarterbacks. And so McCarthy goes to a ready made situation in Minnesota, goes out there. And again, he fell into a sinkhole. He had a, and he had a red shirt year. So even more time to learn the playbook to learn what the NFL world's like. And then he goes out there. And he has, despite having a gap year, JJ McCarthy goes out there and he finally gets a shot. And he did about as well as if you were to take a toddler and put the toddler in a stock car and say, go out there and win the Daytona 500. Good luck, kid. And we'll put a booster seat up and all that. And we want you to win. That was essentially what JJ Murphy was. It was like a toddler trying to win the Daytona 500. A lot of smoke, accident, screeching tires right into the wall. Come on. Right into the wall. All right,

right into the wall. That's it. So, and now that it appears the end is near. If this is accurate, it should be accurate. And the Vikings are, they've seen enough. This guy doesn't have that Janice Kwa. He's lacking that McCarthy is the Google glass of the NFL. You old enough to remember Google glass. When that was around, you don't remember Google glass. Well, it was a very fancy thing. They had a sleek, a very sleek presentation, a lot of hype for it. Like this is going to change the way people do business. Cause it was in fact, we've had our buddy in Vegas calls up and he's got the, I guess it's not, I don't think it's Google glass, but it's something similar thing. And it turned out that people hated it. When they actually got the product, they're like, this is terrible. We're not going to use this thing. It's awkward. It's clunky. It's limited in usefulness. Kind of like JJ McCarthy, right? It seemed good. Didn't play that much in terms of throwing the ball at Michigan. He was a Michigan man. He was ready to go and all that stuff got to Minnesota, sleek presentation,

had the resume, Jim Harbour guy and all that stuff. And yeah, not that guy pal. You're not that guy. Much like Google Glass went to the graveyard for tech. JJ McCarthy is going to go on the dusty winemucker road as he travels around to a new destination. Now in this particular case, the Vikings went to the horse auction. They say, okay, we're going to buy a thoroughbred horse and we're going to get the, it's going to be awesome. It's going to be so good. So they went down to the horse auction and they got the thoroughbred they thought. They also, and when they got it home, they realized it wasn't a thoroughbred. It was a carousel pony is what they got. They wanted a thoroughbred. They got a carousel pony. Well, that's not very good. And so now they're quietly, they're rolling, they're rolling it back and they're hiding it now in the barn. The Vikings are hiding it in the barn there. They don't want their neighbors to start asking questions like, what is that? Why don't you have that thing there? What's the carousel pony? What's that all

about? So two years, one year of playing and it sounds like the break up has begun. In Minnesota. So that tells you everything. They don't have anyone picked out. There's a bunch of steps out there. Kyler Murray to a tongue out by Loa. Players along that line, Kirk Cousins, who they already got rid of because he wasn't the guy. So they want to bring him back. He'll be the guy now. And when a team is ready though to give up on a first round quarterback, that fast, that is buyers remorse. It's like a huge case of buyers remorse. It is the Ben Mallor Show.

Later this hour, the Mallor Militia feud straight ahead. The combine is over. And there was one player who was

projected to be a first round draft pick who apparently absolutely tanked the combine. Horrific performance at the combine. So much though, people are now debating whether this player will still be drafted in the first round. What could they possibly have done to F this up? We will get to that and we will do it next. However, it is time for live music. We're going to Lorraine the theater in Sherman Oaks, California right there. I'm been terrible of hard right now. Here we go. This is very exciting. And I know it's the A block. What hour is it? Number four. Oh, that was, that was, that wasn't jazz. That was, that was not razzle dazzle.

Usually it slows down around this hour. I don't know why. I do so well for the first three hours. And then this hour it slows down. It's because people are doing things driving around. I don't know. Al the alien olpiner says, speaking of cracks and a foundation,

many residents in the Commonwealth and over in Connecticut have had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars replaced their foundations due to a mineral in the concrete made locally. He says, wow. That sucks. Man. And what can't you? Wow. Is there like a lawsuit thing you can do? Or you know, I know there's a billboard lawyer is everywhere I go. See who's your bill writes in with some Fernando Mendoza propaganda. I says the draft hasn't occurred. He hasn't played an NFL game yet. And your fat ass is bashing the husband undefeated natty in the corner back. Wow. Yes. Because that leads me to that good in the NFL. It's an opinion based job, sir. It's an opinion based job. Let's go to phones. And let's say hello to let's see here. Any meaning, Monimo. Let's say hello to Mike the leprechaun.

Hello, Mike the leprechaun. Welcome. Thank you, Sarah. And I want to say a shout out to Brandon for giving a good job at being patient. And I also want to give a shout out to my ice fishing friends from yesterday. We didn't sink into the hole. Yeah, we don't do shout outs. There won't be any warrants coming up here in Boston till Andrea because there's two people to know. However, if Marcel was there, he would fall through it because he's a lead balloon. All I want to say here is, Marcel, is that true you'd fall through because you're a lead balloon? Is that correct, Marcel? The answer is no. Okay. So Mike the leprechaun, Marcel and Brooklyn has said no. Well, has he ever got an ice fishing? Marcel, have you ever been ice fishing? No. What do you think ice fishing is like? It's feel like a winter of snow and ice. All right, well said there. I like that answer. That's Mike the leprechaun. He says he's never been ice fishing.

Okay. Well, it is lost, but it's fine. I don't think. All right. Do you consider that a loss, Marcel? What? Okay. I guess he does not. Yes, Mike the leprechaun. Yes. Okay. So back to the... All right. I'll say, what do you have blinds guy? You have something you want to say blinds guy? Yeah, this guy's a piece of crap. I'm having a problem with my hearing aid. So bear with me. I've been on hold. How do you have a hearing aid, by the way? You're not old enough to have a hearing aid. I have an intellectual disability. You don't ask. I have autism. Mike the leprechaun. Continue, Mike, please. Yes. I would like to ask both blinds gone and Marcel. How many rings did they have from this irrigation? I happen to be interested. No, you don't need to bring in the knowledge. We're not doing this. This is not junior high school. It's not. Okay. I don't think Marcel, you don't have any rings. Do you, Marcel, right? What do you say? You don't have a ring from the show. There's no championship ring that you got, right? I don't think so. Exactly. All right. Scott, do you have any rings, blinds, Scott?

No, because Mr. Irrigation filed a police report against because he's a right-back hit. All right. Scott's very upset. I don't know why he's so upset. I mean, jeez. Mike the leprechaun, I'm sorry. Please continue your call. Mike the leprechaun. Thank you, sir. I had Irish school last night. And I watched the show. What goes inside of Irish students? You don't want to know the ring. I will tell you my trim. Be chinchilla. Stockage. And I had a bunch of veggies and things. Oh, it sounds terrible. Oh, it sounds so bad. Like routine. We had Roberto, who retired from the glamorous life of radio to be a bus driver. But Roberto told us about minut, minut, minut, oh. Cow lining. Uh, cow, uh, the, uh, feed of cow. Yeah, the, the lining of the stomach and then like the, uh, feed of the cow. They just toss in there and that's minut, uh, I thought it was a band from back in the old days, but apparently not. I don't think I have a feed of the cow. What's that? The, the hooves of a cow and the stomach.

I don't think that's the hoofs. It's just not a line. No, no, no, the stomach lining's in there. But they, uh, that's what he told me. I don't think it's, uh, I'm telling you about the hoofs. No, no, no, no. Uh, I think that's how they do it. That's, that's more authentic taste, you know, the cow hoofs. Can I add something? I don't know, you know, we want everything, well, I'm not going to, I didn't have this, but you could have cow hooves or pig hooves. But I haven't, I've been, would you please call me about your trip to Boston? All right. We'll, we'll, we'll write you an email. All right. We'll figure it out. We've been planning it for like a year and there. Now people are texting and, yes, well, I said there's some, it's gonna happen. There's some, I don't know. There's some dates, we have some tentative dates. There's gonna be in Ohio. Why are they? I need to know. There's an Ohio. I don't want to give them out, yeah, because it's subway to change, But we're looking at there's two options in April and May. There might be a one the plan is to hit Ohio in the Cincinnati area for one of them and then go to Boston and then we've got but we have to work out the schedule because we're going to have like an event the minor league game.

We're going to hang out with the Wu socks. You don't even know what the Wu socks are. That's the AAA affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. We're going to hang out there at the Wu sock game. It's going to be amazing. Have lots of socks. I've been to a minor league game in years. I'm excited about this. I hope the ballpark doesn't sock. But we'll see what's going on with that. But I will get in touch with Mike the leopard kind of figure out the dates on that anything else you want to complain about blind Scott. Anything else you want to complain about? Yeah, you have a house that hurts. All right. Let's say hello to Johnny. Here's Johnny. Hello, Johnny. Hey, try to control your emotion, Johnny. I know it's an exciting time in your life. I'm going home and I'm open like eight years. You haven't called it eight years? Yeah, I've been listening to him on it, but now I'm laid off. So is this Mr. Bill Miller? Uh, well, no, Bill Miller stepped out for a smoke. This is Ben Mauer. So you weren't you weren't working for eight years. He got laid off and now you're calling us. How exciting is that? Well, what were you, what kind of world kind of work are you doing on this?

I had a little out of the rain. Okay. Nothing. Yeah. Yep. And I just want to say how do you, Mr. Bill? Well, thank you. Well, but what kind of work were you doing, though? Were you for eight years? The union cop. What, what did you say? No. The union kind. Oh, the union guy. Oh, you got laid off from a union job? I thought it's hard to get laid off from a union job. No, no, no. Come on, who you know, and then when work dries up, you just get laid off. No, but they rehire you, right? When work picks up, okay. All right. So that's fine. I mean, when the weather gets better, there'll be more work. I assume yes. Well, it's all, it's all regular work, but it's kind of depressing because you know, I got seven, seven kids. Well, sorry, the rain was talking. You have seven kids, is that right? Oh, that's right. That's a lot of kids. I would never. Can you get on TikTok, like Brandon? You can make money on TikTok, no? I got no, yeah, knocking. All right, well, so what's your plan here? You got to feed those kids, man. Yeah, I know I do. But my plan is, from now, I got a nice routine

and I wake up and I listen to you guys every single morning. I have a stop list. What age ranges are your kids? Seven, seven kids. That's a ton of kids, man. What are we looking at? So this is where it gets crazy, all right? I got a one-year-old son, a four-year-old daughter, a five-year-old daughter, an eight-year-old daughter, a 12-year-old daughter, and a 16-year-old son. Is that six? I think I only counted six. Am I counting six? I have one. What's it? I have a step on top of it. Okay, so that's the number seven. Wow, there's a lot going on there. Yeah. Great, but I'm not like Mike DeLeperdon. I'll tell you that right now. I want to smack it in the mouth. I do like them, but. Oh, hold on a sec, oh, hey, Mike DeLeperdon. Johnny would like to smack you in the mouth. Mike DeLeperdon. Well, I wouldn't smack anybody in the mouth unless I had to, but I only have five kids. Okay, all right. So Johnny, he's only got five kids. I guess so. I guess he lives on. That's more than you. There you go. You're the bigger stud there, Johnny, with all those kids. Look at that. And those kids would go out in the world.

They'll pay your bills when they're old. Unless they hate you. I don't know. It might happen. What I'm getting at is that I finally had the time to actually call on the wait on the line to talk. All right, well, so I'm glad, Johnny, you were able to wait. It's good to hear from you after eight years. That's a long time. A lot of things have happened in the last eight years. A lot of single. Oh, your phone's breaking up. Horrible connection. He was about to compliment me. And I hate when the phone dies when he's about to compliment me. The kind of stories. It would have been just a great compliment. It would have made me feel really good. Give me a big ego. When I got to go back to blind Scott, who just rips me apart, but that's SpongeBob. Wait a minute. I believe SpongeBob SquarePants is called and is saved the day. Hello. I'm ready. I'm ready. SpongeBob. Oh, whoo. Hi, Ben. Hi, Lorraine. It's me, floodwatt SquarePants. Hi. Hi, Lorraine. I heard your conversation this morning about muffin. Yeah, we talked hot muffin talk in hour one. It was really good. Better than any model on. Yeah. So, hi, hi, Ben. Hi, Lorraine.

It's your boy, buddy Patrick. Hi, Patrick. Go. Hi, Lorraine. We have a question for you that nobody asked you guys. OK, this is exciting. This is what the question be. That question is, are you ready, Patrick? Good, good. Do. Do. No. Stop the muffin man. Stop. All right. Calm down. SpongeBob. Hold on a sec. Yeah. No. No. Blime, Scott. Are you going to be? Are you going to be? I love SpongeBob. You want to talk to SpongeBob? Hold on a sec. So, SpongeBob, Blime, Scott's a fan of yours. He's calm down because of your call. He's calm. Well, I tell you. I have to tell you. Blime, Scott is one of the most amazing. SpongeBob is a ball sign. I like Blime, Scott. SpongeBob, can we talk about Damon and Mindelora?

Could SpongeBob know his Damon and Mindelora? And if he's friends with them, what are you going to say? What? The A is such a great show. Hey, then I know you're in the overnight bus. Can I have permission to come aboard, sir? No, OK. All right. All right. I don't know what's going on. Marcel, let's go to Trent. Trent's over in Wichita. He wants to say hello. Hello, Trent. What's going on, Trent? Welcome to the madhouse. What's going on, Trent? Man, this is the first time I'm using my golden ticket. Well, you didn't really use your golden ticket. I didn't know yet. He didn't say golden ticket. No, you still has this golden ticket because you got to call in and you go right to the front of the line. You were like seventh in line. So you can't say, I'm going to let you keep that golden ticket. All right. Yeah. All right. That works. What goes in beef stew or iris stew, I mean, that is the leprechaun guy. Oh, is that true? Hold on. Yeah. Mike, the leprechaun, should you be part of the actual stew?

Mike, the leprechaun, according to Trent and Wichita, you should be in the stew. No. No. I put potatoes in his tank. I put spuds in. I forgot to mention spuds. But actually, it's yummy. And that sounds disgusting. You need to be honest with me. It sounds horrible. It sounds like there's no way too much stuff in there. It really is. All right. Trent, I'm sorry about that. What else you got there, Trent? Well, I'm just saying, I'm not his body. I just, iris stew is not really iris. He's just a red-haired guy at the bar. Oh, there you go. He's trying to get into. Yeah. Oh, I see. That's what he's making in. That's a joke. Yeah. Yeah. It's horrible. It's Wichita. Trent's the top comedian in all the land there. I'm the 13th funniest guy in my call to fact. Have you noticed our guy from Hawaii, though, hasn't called recently? Yeah, that guy is terrible. A guy is terrible. No, I was going to say even blind Scott could see that that that that J.J. was going to be a bus. All right. Is that true blind Scott? According to Trent in Wichita, you could see this guy was going to be a bus.

Hey, where's the Wizard of Oz, Trent? One, you go back to the right, you broom, and your mother saw. All right. She's, I'm sorry about that. Trent seems to enjoy that. Hey, I'm going to see the Celtic in the Thunder on Thursday. Yeah, there you go. See, he's going to go see the Celtics in the Thunder there. Oh, can you try to meet Sean Grande? He's the announcer from the Celtic Ask him about Fred Tutcher. Can you do it? Oh, no, no. Trent, you're not going to harass the Celtics broadcaster, right? Yeah. Yeah, I'm not going to do that. What I will do is run out on the court with a bin mower. No, we don't. No, we don't. No, we're good on that. Do it. No, we don't need that. I'm kidding. Do it. But if you do, we did have a guy. There was a guy at a Tampa Bay race game that had a mower sign behind home play. That was pretty cool. Yeah, well, the right now just told me to do it. And I would probably do anything she says. Really? Well, okay.

Let's, let's look for that on a box. All right, I'll look for that. I'll say, I'm sure. Trust me. If you actually do that, I will find out about it. I have a million people send this in. Say hello in Brooklyn. Somebody wants to say hello to you, Marcello in Brooklyn. Hello. All right. Say hello. Call her. You're on the air. Say hello to Marcello in Brooklyn. Call her. Bill Miller, you're a loser. Marcello, you need Jesus. Well, you have to say there, but it's therapy time. Oh, wait a minute. Is that Mike in New Hampshire? I believe it is. Oh, believe it or not, folks. Bill Miller. Bill Miller. Bill Miller. Bill Miller. Bill Miller. Let people pray. Before we go to the show. Marcello, let's pray. Let's pray. No, that's not, that's not. We don't, we don't. I don't know. This is going to your place. It's going to get me in trouble. We are on in the Bible belt. So I'm going to leave that one alone. Yeah. All right. Marcello.

This is very exciting, Marcello. You know what we have coming up here, Mom? But I did want to point out before you do the big voiceover guy and promote what's coming up here. I tease this. And when you tease something, Marcello, as you know, because you're a radio professional, you have to pay it off. The news out of the combine is that USC wide receiver, Mackay Lemon, apparently bombed. Absolutely bombed the interview process. I saw the video that went viral. He had been projected as a first round pick. Is he going to lose out on a first round pick? Because he's not very, um, loquacious. And you guys are good. He's a good player. And there's a lot of guys that aren't the greatest talkers in the world or whatever. But I don't know. It seemed like he had some issues there. All right, Marcello. Do the big... I'm up against it, Marcello. Hurry up, jump, jump. Oh, yes. Marcello, Marcello, feel this next. Back with the band, Marcello. Right? Yes. Call us 877. Running a business is hard enough.
