32
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: is the way that tire buying should be. So we

33
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: are back at it. In the audio world. The magic

34
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: radio box as some have called it. In our lead

35
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: this hour from the Pacific Northwest, as you had Matthew

36
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: Stafford and the La r I AM's party bus driving

37
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: in to the Pacific Northwest Chew for a little playdate

38
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: versus that stiff Sam Donald and the Seahawks. You had

39
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: Alt Michael's there and Herbie on the call on the

40
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: Amazon And did you watch? Were you checking this out?

41
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: Were you consuming the product? You? Maybe not? You were

42
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: doing some shopping? What were you doing? Really? Nothing? Else

43
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: going on. There's nothing else to watch. Well, if you

44
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: missed it, you missed a hum dinger of a Thursday

45
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: night came in. Was kind of like a buffet where

46
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: they have a little bit everything. You have the seafood

47
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: over there, you've got steak, there's some pasta if you're

48
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: a if you're a vegan, you can go out the

49
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: back door there and leave, but a little bit of everything.

50
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: So the game for many lived up to the advance

51
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: building and Sam Donald, who was bad to the bone, bad, bad, bad, bad,

52
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: bad to the bone. Sometimes good things happen to bad performances,

53
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: and Sam Donald connecting with Jackson Smith and Jigba for

54
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: a touchdown and overtime after the Rams had gone down

55
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: and scored a touchdown on a brilliant pass by Matthew

56
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: Stafford and Polka Nka, and then Seattle said we're gonna

57
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: go for We're gonna go for the win. And they said,

58
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: we're going to try to win right here our two

59
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: point conversion, knowing that the Rams were just going to

60
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: go down the field and kick a field goal to

61
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: win if they did not go for two. And Donald

62
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: did connect. He found a wide open player in the

63
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: how does that happen? Does? How does somebody get wide

64
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: open at that point? Two point conversion? Complete game over?

65
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: That's it. The Seattle Seahawks rallied from a sixteen point

66
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: fourth quarter deficit, converting on three two point conversions. The

67
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: math on that is just insane, and of course it's

68
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: not kosher, so it's not really legit. They end up

69
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: winning the end the final score thirty eight to thirty

70
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: seven on Thursday night, so Seattle, for the moment, takes

71
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: a one game lead in the NFC West. But the

72
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: game was not clean. It was marred by controversy, as

73
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: the Seattle football team was not good enough to beat

74
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: the Rams on their own. They needed some help from

75
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: the league office, and one of the most blatant things

76
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my time watching football, there was

77
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: a two point conversion that the NFL claimed tied the

78
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: game at thirty. Now, for our blind listeners, the past

79
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: hit the ground. Normally that's considered an incomplete pass. It's

80
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: a good jumping off point because it's really the story

81
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about. So let us discuss the question. Did

82
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold and the Seahawks beat the Rams or did

83
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: the Zebras take down the Rams. So I got Godfather,

84
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: mister potato Head, and jukebox and we will combine all

85
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make

86
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: some banana cream pie, which is what was thrown in

87
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: the face of the La Rams. Now, anybody who knows

88
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: football knows this game should have ended thirty to twenty

89
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: eight Rams a two point win in regulation. Seattle was

90
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: given two points out of thin air, out of fin air. Now,

91
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: we believe in speaking the truth into the microphones of

92
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. We can do that. We're not part

93
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: of the mainstream. We're not on during the day six

94
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: am to six pm. They get paid more money and

95
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: they have nicer cars and all that stuff. At night

96
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: we can talk the truth. And the truth is the

97
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: Rams got the screw job. They did one of the

98
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: time horrific calls. I I don't know how to say it.

99
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: For Gayzy Sam Darnold pass deflected intended for the running

100
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: back Zach Charboneau, and it was ruled correctly on the

101
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: field incomplete pass. That was the right call. They got

102
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: it right. However, after a replay review to the league

103
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: headquarters in New York, it was determined, surprisingly that it

104
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: was no no, no, not an incomplete pass. You're don't believe

105
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: your lying eyes. Do not believe your lying eyes. It

106
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: was a it was determined to be a backwards pass,

107
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: all right, So it was not. It was not determined

108
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: there was a forward pass. It was a backward pass.

109
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: So Scharboneau, who this is my favorite part. So he

110
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: just l l l l la la la la la la.

111
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: He walked over. He picked up the ball casually, you know,

112
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: no concern. Uh picked up the loose ball. They gave

113
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: him two points for that. It is comically bad, but

114
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: it's very dust. It doesn't exist. It's not in real

115
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: You can clearly you go back in here it You

116
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: don't even need to be uh with working eyeballs to

117
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: know if you go back and listen, you can clearly

118
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: hear the whistle blow. And maybe I'm wrong on this.

119
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: I know times have changed. I guess I'm getting older,

120
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: but I always thought, once the whistle blue, you play

121
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: through the whistle, that's it. Once the whistle blows, plays over,

122
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: plays over. So the whistle blows, whistle, whistle, whistle, the

123
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: whistle blows, the play dead, then Charbonneau picks up the ball.

124
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, players, on both teams. Both teams stop

125
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: playing because the whistle, blue nump nuts at the end.

126
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: There's the whistle, all right. So you got players on

127
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: Seattle and the Rams who both stopped at the same

128
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: time because an official blue the whistle and apra ef

129
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: and kept I mean with Jep diglous, I can't even

130
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: say it. The NFL decided to roll a two point conversion. Holcus,

131
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: what this was more than just a guard an angel

132
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks, all right, there's some serious funny

133
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: business going on. Here is Sean McVay, the Ram coach.

134
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: Who is he gonna get fined for this? Here's McVeigh

135
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: pointing out, well, that's not kosher. What happened Take a list.

136
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: I've never quite seen anything like what happened on the

137
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: two point conversion where you're lined up to kick off,

138
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: then they say it's a fumble because they had the

139
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: clear and obvious recovery. Now you tack it on, you

140
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: make it a thirty to thirty game. Very interesting. Didn't

141
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 4: get a clear explanation of everything that went on, just

142
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 4: because of some of the timing of it. They were

143
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 4: trying to be able to do that. But that's the

144
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 4: thing that I've said, I've never seen anything or never

145
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 4: been a part of anything like that, and I've grown

146
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 4: up around this game.

147
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses. We don't do that. I don't

148
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: believe in that.

149
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 4: It doesn't move us forward, but we do want clarity

150
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 4: and an understanding of, you know, the things that we

151
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 4: can do to minimize that when we rejected the two

152
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 4: point conversion.

153
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: All right, So Coach McVay, two things. Number one, the

154
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: reason you've ever seen it, It's never happened before. This

155
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: is unprecedented what happened here. This is one of the

156
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: great injustices in the history of that fraudulent sport, the NFL.

157
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: Right insane. Let's play connected dots Mallard style connected dots.

158
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: All right. So, the big story this week in the

159
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: NFL was Pooka Nikoua going on a live stream, right

160
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: trashing the NFL officials, doing a dance which I apologize

161
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: for whatever, and ripping Taylor Swift and Jacksonville a bunch

162
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: of crazy stuff. So Puoka goes out and goes nuclear,

163
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: has twelve catches. It was like he was running through

164
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 1: the Serengetti. Twelve catches, two hundred twenty five yards a

165
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: partridge in a pury had two touchdowns, including what should

166
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: have been the game winner. Well game shit entered in regulation,

167
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: but the touchdown and overtime. The story is we connected

168
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: dots though. Is Pooka Nica right? He dared to question authority,

169
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: He questioned the referees on the live stream. Is it

170
00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: a coincidence that a day later this happens? Methinks? Not right.

171
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: This was big Brother at the NFL sending a clear message.

172
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: This was payback the horse head in the bed from

173
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: the Godfather, an unmistakable message that was sent by the NFL.

174
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: We control all of this. You mess with us again,

175
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: and the next warning will not be symbolic, Pooka, It's

176
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: not gonna be. We We have the power to give

177
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: points that did not get scored. We are almighty, omni

178
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: present worth the NFL. Don't mess with us. Okay. That

179
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: was a horsehead in the bed, is what? That was?

180
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: One thousand percent all right? And I would I would

181
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: be puking in my mouth if I was a Seattle

182
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: Seahawk fan right now that I would want to I

183
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: would really want to vomit at that, because you know

184
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: you're not good enough, you know, you're not, and you

185
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: needed you talk about the Twelfth Man. How many officials

186
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: were on the field. That's like the you know, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth,

187
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: twentieth man. My god, so it's so bad. I don't

188
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: even what to say. It's such a crap call. It's

189
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: not even I mean, they were at McVeigh said, they're

190
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: lining up for the kickoff and they're like, coach, we've

191
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: decided to give Seattle two points. They but they didn't score.

192
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: But yeah, we felt like they needed the two points.

193
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: We decided we wanted to give them the two points,

194
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: but they didn't. The play was whistled, Dad, the play

195
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: was over. That was it. But no, we kind of

196
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: liked them, you know. We felt bad for Nostradinas and

197
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: JJ and Retten and crying, craiging all these fan guys.

198
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: So we had to give them two points. Okay, thank you? Wow?

199
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: All right, now as for the big picture here the

200
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: big picture, So the question how concerned because the Rams

201
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: did end up being given the loss by the NFL,

202
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: So how concerned should Sean McVay be with the Rams

203
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: losing this game in Seattle thanks to some help by

204
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: the league office. So the Mallard panic meter. One to ten,

205
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: one to ten, I'm at I'm at about a three

206
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: on the Malard panic meter. It took the league meddling.

207
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: It took the NFL fuxing around with the outcome of

208
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: the game. People talk about gambling scandals right in NBA

209
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: and all this baseball. I mean this, this is clear

210
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: and obvious for most you know. It took the league

211
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: meddling for Seattle to win this game, which tells you

212
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: Seatle's not good enough. And keep in mind, the Rams

213
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: did not have their nuclear torpedo Devonte Adams, the cheat

214
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: code in the red zone, and they were missing a

215
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: couple of other starters. In this game. The Rams put

216
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: up let me check my notes here. They put up

217
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: five hundred and eighty one yards and thirty seven points

218
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: in a place that likes to pump their chest out

219
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: and talk about how people just don't play well in Seattle.

220
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: The twelves, oh, it's very the weather. Top five defense.

221
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: Sea Awks had a top five defense coming to that game.

222
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: Top five defense gave up five hundred and eighty one

223
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: yards and thirty seven points to a team without the

224
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: without their number two receiver and a couple of other

225
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: key players. Yeah, okay, so there you go. That's it.

226
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: Now.

227
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: The issue for the Rams, obviously, is that you can't

228
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: factor in, how do you game plan for the officials

229
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: just giving the team two points when they didn't get it.

230
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: There's really nothing to do on that. The RAMS defense

231
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: wears the scarlet letter to some degree here with the

232
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: Capitol d My god, you're up sixteen in the fourth quarter.

233
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: And I know it took the officials helping out Seattle,

234
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: but that's that's that's not great. And the Rams did

235
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: play a little mister potato head here, the hot potato

236
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: game with the you know, they played the hot potato

237
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: with the live you know, it was like a live

238
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: grenade they were passing around. It's inexcusable, right, you know,

239
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: f around you find out. But the NFL certainly helped in.

240
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: And there's a bit of a pattern here the Rams.

241
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: Usually they just lose games more than get beat. Like

242
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: they didn't lose this game, or they didn't they didn't

243
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: get beat. I should say the game was given to

244
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: Seattle in this case. But the fur balls being coughed up,

245
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: they blew up a sixteen point. They really they blew

246
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: a fourteen point lead because Seattle is given two points,

247
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: so you don't get credit for that. You didn't You

248
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: didn't earn it. You know, real people know that they

249
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: did blow a nineteen point lead in Philadelphia earlier this year.

250
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: So that's a bad habit and McVeigh needs to flush

251
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: that immediately. You look at the big picture, thirty thousand

252
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: feet up looking down, the Rams are perfectly fine. It's

253
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: not like they have some kind of home field advantage.

254
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: There's not a moat at Sofi Stadium. They were in

255
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship Game a couple years ago. I was there.

256
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: They played the forty nine ers. They might as well

257
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: have been played at the old Candlestick Park. There were

258
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: so many Niner fans it didn't matter. The Rams won

259
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: the game, and the Rams can win anywhere. They're good

260
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: enough to do that. And as long as Stafford's standing

261
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: upright and the Fellas are relatively healthy, you're not ever

262
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: going to be completely healthy. And the Rams aren't really concerned.

263
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they'd love to play Seattle in the NFC

264
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: Championship Game, and the only way Seattle can win is

265
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: with some help from the referees from the league office.

266
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: So the panic meter is pretty low, and I'm sure

267
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: McVeigh will sleep fine knowing that this was out of

268
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: his control. I mean, the NFL clearly wanted this outcome

269
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: based on what they did, giving Seattle two points. Otherwise

270
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: the game would have ended thirty to twenty eight. That's it.

271
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: Game over, Rams win by two. All right, last word here,

272
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: So on the Seattle side of things, being given a gift,

273
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah? Did Sam Donald save himself with

274
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: Seattle and that crazy comeback? Because Sam Darnald was just

275
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: getting roasted and deserved it. He sucked at a time

276
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: you cannot suck. So did Darnald save himself? Because Seattle

277
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: ended up winning that game? So I'm going to vote

278
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: first on this, and I'm going to vote A and

279
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: absolutely not. I go back to my point earlier. The

280
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: Ogs know what time it is Seattle right now. They

281
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: got that shiny record. They're now in the penthouse in

282
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: the NFC West. I wouldn't get comfortable, boys, it's more

283
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: like a verbo. It's an Airbnb Seattle standing on a

284
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: rickety pier and there's a big windstorm coming here, so

285
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: be careful. And hey, it's great. I wish the Rams

286
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: had gotten help from the Zebras. I didn't know. I

287
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: didn't know that that was possible to get be given

288
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: two points. I've never seen that before. Watch football. I'm

289
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: getting old. I watched football enty live. I've ever seen

290
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: that the Zebras gave them more than a gentle nudge Seattle,

291
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: And you know, call it a league issued shopping cart

292
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: shove if you will. And you know, suddenly some of

293
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: you are like, oh wait, we beat your Ram. The

294
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: Rams lost, are you well? No, I know about that.

295
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't be opening champagne and lighting cigars.

296
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: I would not do that. You know. Sam Darnold was

297
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: a haunted house from kickoff pretty much to the curtain

298
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: call here two touchdowns, two picks. He was sacked four times,

299
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: and for much of that game he was seeing ghosts.

300
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: It was like a midnight Mattinee for Sam Darnold. And

301
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, you just know you can't win with him,

302
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: so it's like, what are we doing here? It's an

303
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: exercise in futility for Seattle. The real Seahawk fans know

304
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna break, just break your back. Seattle won

305
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: in spite of him, not because of him, and he's

306
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:22,239
Speaker 1: an unreliable orchestrator. It's more kazoo than conductor. And you know,

307
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: and I know, and every man, woman and child knows

308
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: when the music matters, the needle skips just a little bit,

309
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: just a little bit at skips. And we've we've read

310
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: this paperback before. We saw it in Seattle. Last year,

311
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: we saw it in Minnesota. Rather the last year the

312
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: dog eared kind of predictable. So if you were really happy,

313
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: I good for you, you should send a thank you

314
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: note email the NFL, thank you very much. Appreciate it.

315
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: Boys on Park Avenue there, thank you. We hope you

316
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: enjoy the mirage while it lasts. Enjoy it, Seattle fans,

317
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: twelve fans, whatever you call it. Because the jukebox is

318
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: warming up, and it's an Elvis classic for Seattle. Welcome

319
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: to Heartbreak Hotel. As as that's going to be the case. Now,

320
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: as far as the MVP debate, does this end it?

321
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: I guess that's the question. Does this ram lost kill

322
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's MVP campaign, his mojo for the MVP. I

323
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: don't even think that's close. Like again, I give that

324
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: argument side eye. Stafford played for most It wasn't perfect.

325
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: There were some throws that sailed on him, but he

326
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: played for the most part like a five star chef

327
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: who was trapped in a kitchen fire. Four hundred and

328
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards, three touchdowns against the top five defense,

329
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: against the top five defense, did not turn the ball over,

330
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: and he did it shorthanded. He did shorthanded without Pooka Nicoua,

331
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: or with Pooka Nikoua scoring the touchdown without Devonte Adams.

332
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: And he threw that laser to Pooka in overtime swhich

333
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: you'd say, well, that's that's the sizzle play. If you

334
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 1: look at the sizzle reel, that's one of the sizzle

335
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: plays on the sizzle reel. And do you really dock

336
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback? Because the defense at diarrhea, Die Die diarrhea.

337
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: Now we know the refs had to send Pooka a message.

338
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: We mentioned the horsehead in the bed. The defense did

339
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: not do his job in overtime. They did not. And

340
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: that's not on Stafford though to me, the real call

341
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: for the big loser, and they were trying to prop

342
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: this guy up. They showed him on TV. Is Chris Shula,

343
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator of Aram's all name recognition. Another NEPO baby,

344
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: Chris Shula, and his team had multiple chances to make

345
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: a play in overtime and did not get to stop.

346
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: And so Grandpa Don is rolling in his grave like,

347
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: what are you doing? At least you're not as embarrassing

348
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: as my kid, but my god, you're my grandson. You

349
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: got to do better than that. What are we doing here?

350
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,560

Speaker 1: To our lead. This hour, we continue our in depth

366
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: team coverage from the game Heard Round the NFL. One

367
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: of the most egregious calls you'll ever see. It never

368
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: happened before two point conversion ball fell incomplete. Players stopped

369
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: playing at the whistle, and one of the Seattle players

370
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: walked over and picked up the football and to give

371
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: it back to the referees. And they were lining up

372
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: to kick off the Seattle Seahawks there, and then they

373
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: side of the NFL, you know this helps Seattle any

374
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: push here, and let's give them two points. And they did.

375
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: They give them, They give them two points. So it's

376
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: pretty wild. Pretty whack a doodle, pretty whack of doodle.

377
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: What happened there, And we'll pay back to Puka Nakooa

378
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: would appear by the league office saying, hey, we got

379
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: the power, boys, we got the power. We got the power.

380
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 4: Now.

381
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: Something else happened in the Pacific Northwest as Seattle was

382
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: given that win. They should have lost thirty to twenty

383
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: eight in regulation, but they ended up being given the

384
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: win by the NFL, and they end up winning in

385
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: an overtime. But our lead the GPS is in the Amazon,

386
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: so as the Seahawks were being given a gift against

387
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: the Rams. During that broadcast, a former star of the

388
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: franchise went viral. If you didn't hear about this or

389
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: didn't see it, Marshawn Lynch, Who's like the closest thing

390
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: we have to Snoop Dogg. You know how like TV

391
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: networks or leagues bring Snoop Dogg in is like their mascot,

392
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: and like Marshan's that in that spectrum. He's on the

393
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: spectrum of like, hey, let's bring this guy in. He'll

394
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: say some crazy stuff, everyone will laugh, it'll go viral,

395
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: we'll move on. We'll pay them a bunch of money.

396
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: So Marshawn was a guest panel lost on Amazon because

397
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: clearly they don't have enough meathead ex athletes on there.

398
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: They had to enhance the broadcast on Thursday Night Football.

399
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: So there he was next to Ryan Fitzpatrick, Andrew Whitworth,

400
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman, and Tony Gonzalez, all side by side right there.

401
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: They were hanging out together. And is there anything memorable,

402
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: by the way about that Amazon broadcast? For me? I

403
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: usually hit the mute button. There's really nothing for me there.

404
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: But you know, maybe you like it. You're fanboy of

405
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: X jocks, you probably like it. So Marshawn Lynch. He

406
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: was on television there and it seemed like he was

407
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: before he was on television. He was behind the production

408
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: truck and he was smoking and having a couple of

409
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: beers and kind of thought he was in the backyard

410
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: having like a neighborhood party with the boys. And let's

411
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: just say things got a little way. Take a listen.

412
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: We have a little clip here. Take a listen to

413
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch, and this is just a preview of what

414
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: he did pretty much the entire time he was on

415
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: being as you were.

416
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 6: You a robberie guy, you got a robbery game memory,

417
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 6: you said, Robert.

418
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: Hm. That was one of the few bites that wasn't bleeped,

419
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: which is odd, but trust me, all right, but the

420
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: uh there was an actual a bleep bleep like in

421
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: the actual bleep on the broadcast. But the story that

422
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: to me, that's an Amazon just trust me. Amazon chose

423
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: to censor marsha On Lynch in like real time. It

424
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: was being bleeped like as he was talking. It was.

425
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: It was wild whenever he pretty much every time he spoke,

426
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: he included at least an F word in every sentence.

427
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us

428
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: discuss the question. All right, do you agree or disagree

429
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: with Amazon censoring Marshawn Lynch on its NFL coverage for

430
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: the Thursday night Seattle La Ram game. So my observations

431
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: on this, I have the Pope, Porcelain, Throne and PhD

432
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and

433
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: we are going to go into zombie mode. That's right,

434
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: absolute zombie. It's a number one, number one. So do

435
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: I agree or disagree? I'm just I disagree. I'm shaking

436
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: my head. No, it's a hard no. It's a hard no.

437
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: This is silly with a capital S. Is what it is.

438
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: Does Amazon realize they're not Fox or NBC or CBS

439
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: or ABC, They're not governed by the FCC. I know

440
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: that's hard for you to believe, but the FCC governs

441
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: old school media. We're governed by the FCC. We're on radio,

442
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: we have broadcast on hundreds of radio stations, have to

443
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: follow the FCC playbook. And television cable. Cable television doesn't

444
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: really over the air television does. And Amazon's streaming ring.

445
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: They're not Sunday School, They're streaming curse words. Gonna blow

446
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: your mind or allowed, And isn't that the whole point?

447
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: Like people that get rid of cable television, I want

448
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: to I want people to curse. So I do a

449
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: podcast on the weekends, the Fifth Hour Policies. I'm allowed

450
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: to curse on the podcast. I did it for a

451
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: while when we started, and then it's like, I don't know,

452
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: I get too concerned. I'm gonna do it on this

453
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: the regular radio, and then it'll get me in a

454
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: lot of trouble. So I've cut back on that. But

455
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: if you're going to invest in bringing Marshawn Lynch, I'm

456
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: assuming Marshawn just kind of didn't show up on his own.

457
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: They paid him and they I don't think he lives

458
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: in Seattle anymore, so they had him fly in for

459
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: this event. So if you're if you're going to invite

460
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: beast Mode into the house and then clutch your pearls

461
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: when he drops an F bomb like what are we

462
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: doing here? And seriously like that's like inviting the Pope

463
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: over and then being upset when he's bragging about the

464
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: Vatican and quoting the Bible. It's like, well, the Pope,

465
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: that's what the Pope does? I mean, what are you

466
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: expecting the pope to do? I mean, my god, you know.

467
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 1: So it's the same thing, and Marshawn without cursing and weed,

468
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: it's it's like going to a barbecue joint and they

469
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: have tofu ribs. Well, who the hell wants that? Nobody

470
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: wants tofu ribs. He's like, this is stupid, Like what's

471
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: the point of that? And don't tell me. It was

472
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: like technical issues and all the place. They apparently have

473
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: the ability to bleep in real time faster than a

474
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: YouTube ad. You can't skip. It's crazy. This smelled like

475
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: to me, this smelled like, hey, the NFL doesn't want that.

476
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: Our corporate overlords at the NFL Family first, deodorant family first,

477
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: and all this. Meanwhile, the curse words were flying like

478
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: a nice Chamber of Commerce day in Siberia. The snowflakes

479
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: were coming down there as well, and it went viral.

480
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: Marshan sounded kind of like our caller Lucky Tony from

481
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: the Bay Area, uncensored, unfiltered and undefeated. Now his masterpiece.

482
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: Marshaan was talking about his visit to Ireland, and it's

483
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: pretty funny. It's pretty fun Marshaan said. He was messing

484
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: around with Game of Thrones. I thought that was filmed

485
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: in New Zealand, wasn't it. I think it was anyway,

486
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: said he was messing around with Game of Thrones. And

487
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: now he's got a quote he said, big ass dragon

488
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: at his house. And they said, well, how do you

489
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: have a dragon? You know what's going on with that?

490
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: And he said, well, he sent me a dragon skull

491
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: because he was speaking apparently just by talking in New Zealand,

492
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: they'll send you a dragon skull. And then Lynch said

493
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: he was speaking Gaelic, so that must be fun too.

494
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 1: The skull line. That was classic. That was classic. Like

495
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: he sounded like he had visited before the broadcast doctor

496
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Weed at the marijuana Dispensary in Venice Beach and he

497
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 1: just tapped to show up there. And of course if

498
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: you can't handle that, I would advise you not book

499
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: him on Amazon. What do I know? Now? Meanwhile, to

500
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: Chicago we go where the Bears. You Foemi and FaZe

501
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: and those guys are all excited. The Bears are playing well.

502
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: They got a big game coming up on Saturday against

503
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, and quarterback Caleb Williams is in

504
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: the crossairs with the ABC broadcast group. Now we know

505
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: that Troy Aikman had to bug up his caboose over

506
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: Williams and he was taking some shots at him on

507
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: the ABC broadcast of a Bears came out in a

508
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: recent interview his partner in crime. Talking about Troy Aikman's

509
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: partner in crime, Joe Buck added some more context. Joe

510
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: Buck explained that Caleb Williams had stood up the ABC

511
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: broadcast crew more than once, and Buck said, hey, he said,

512
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: we sat on zoom waiting forever and he just never

513
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: came talking about Caleb Williams. I don't know what else

514
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: we can do, And Joe Buck said, has happened multiple

515
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: times this season. So the question what did you take

516
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: from Joe Buck and his commentary here on the truancy

517
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: of Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. So this is not a

518
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: scheduling snaffo. That is a demerit for character written in

519
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: thick black sharpie. Is what that is? It tells you

520
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: everything you need to know, Like what do we all

521
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: what do we all agree on? Growing up as kids?

522
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: One time is a mistake, two times is a pattern?

523
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: So say, okay, one time's a mistake. Keep doing it

524
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: and suddenly it's patternicity. This is not Innermurals at USC anymore.

525
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: This is the the big the NFL, with the TV

526
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: contract the size of Lake Michigan, and it's on the

527
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: back of this kind of stuff. Like Joe Buck basically

528
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: said at the Bear's quarterback left the ABC crew standing

529
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: at the altar, if you will, staring at their zoom

530
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: screens like it was. It was just kind of frozen, like, well,

531
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: I don't understand here. It's really but that's not mysterious,

532
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: that's that's not miscommunication. I wouldn't file out in a miscommunication.

533
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: That is diva capital D, diva behavior wrapped in noise

534
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: canceling headphones. It just is it is. Here's the malord

535
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: math on this. So the league cells access, they charge

536
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: a lot of money, the networks buy it, and quarterbacks

537
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: are the storefront mannequin, if you will, right, they're the

538
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: storefront mannequin. And you don't get to look, you know,

539
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: you get to look at the storefront and not see

540
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: the mannequins because that's what the NFL is selling. And

541
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: you don't get if you're one of the quarterbacks, you

542
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: don't get to lock the door and go hide in

543
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 1: the back. It's part of the gig. You don't have

544
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: to hang face to face anymore. Since the pandemic that's

545
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: pretty much ended. You just have to turn your phone on.

546
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: How hard is that? How hard is that? You can

547
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: literally do it while sitting on the porcelain throne. You

548
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: could be dropping a deuce and talking to Troy Aikman

549
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: and Joe buck right. You could also be scrolling TikTok

550
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: looking at photos on Instagram like a teenager. And you

551
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: don't have to make eye contact. There's no eye contact

552
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: to be made. There's none. And so Caleb acting a

553
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: bit like Beyonce refusing the media. And he's a rookie

554
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: now second year quarterback. He's not a rookie anymore, the

555
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: second year guy. And then the team is playing pretty

556
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: good football here and you're supposed to show up. That's

557
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: what adults do. They show up and pretty easy too.

558
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: It's on Easy Street and he's already out there, Jaywalk,

559
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: what's up with that?

560
00:31:58,720 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 4: All?

561
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: Right? Final point to Ohio we go a big old

562
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: sign causing a hullabaloo in the Buckeye State and a

563
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: sign that went up this week in Cincinnati calling on

564
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals to make some changes. The billboard read fire Zach, fire, Duke,

565
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: save Burrow. All right, let's discuss question this new billboard

566
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati calling for the Bengals to fire coach Jack

567
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: Taylor general manager Duke Tobin. How effective? How effective are

568
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: these billboard protests? That's the question. Now. I do like

569
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: before I get into this. I like the fact that

570
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: whoever put the billboard up a has a lot of

571
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: money and b thinks that Joe Burrow is not part

572
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: of the problem at all. Joe Burrow is the saint

573
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with Joe Burrow at all. In

574
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: terms of the billboard protests. This has happened many times

575
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: over the years. It's still despite the Internet, a chosen

576
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: tactic because you can't really avoid billboards. If you put

577
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: a billboard up from the highway on the way to

578
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: the stadium, everyone that gets to work has to go

579
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: through that particular highway. It's pretty hard to avoid a billboard.

580
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 1: Pretty hard to avoid a billboard. But this is the

581
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: modern version of storming the bastille, right, brought to you

582
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: by outdoor advertising and a Venmo account to pay the bill.

583
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: But if you're honest, the Bengals ownership, the Brown family.

584
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: What can Brown do for you? The Brown Family, Bengals

585
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: ownership group. I will guarantee you they saw that sign.

586
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: They said, I saw the sign and they had to

587
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: come to Jesus moment. Absolutely, unless that didn't happen, Unless

588
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: that didn't happen, and they did not have a epiphany,

589
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: did not happen. The billboard protests do not change power structures.

590
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: They don't. They don't force firings, they don't rewrite contracts.

591
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: What they do is attempt to embarrass ownership. Believe we're

592
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: past that now with the Brown family. If they had

593
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: any shame in their game, they would have been out

594
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: long ago. Now. They do create noise, they generate clicks

595
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 1: that if that was the stated goal, cowabunga dude, because

596
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: you did it. You did it, You did it, you

597
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: did it. You got your little media coverage and all

598
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: that stuff. You created some noise and it's a symbolic protest.

599
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a flare gun being shot into

600
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: the fog. You're not really accomplishing much, you just not.

601
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: Like NFL fans love to threaten to boycott, whether it's

602
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: the Jets or the Browns, and the Bangles, all these

603
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: suck bag teams are they threatened boycotts and walking out

604
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: of the stadium and all of this righteous flirt, you know,

605
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: fury where they're just so excited on it until the

606
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: next game kicks off and then it's right back to

607
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: the stadium. Or if you watch on television, you lay

608
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: on your sofa, you got your big fat gut there

609
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: and you got nachos in one hand, you got some

610
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: peanuts in the other there, and you're yelling at the

611
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: TV like nothing happy. And the teams know this. They've

612
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: done the market research. The owners know this, they've run

613
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: the math on this. It's engagement, not apathy. Engagement not apathy,

614
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: is what it is. And NFL owners have always had

615
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: PhDs and ignoring fans, the if ignoring fans and so yes,

616
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: billboards work if you're looking to create a bonfire, a

617
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: very very expensive bonfire, burn baby, burn, burning cash for engagement,

618
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: a brief moment of communal raid jup and people driving

619
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: by saying, oh wow, look at that man. They're unhappy

620
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: and there's the billboard. Okay, what are we gonna do

621
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: about it? Nothing, We're not gonna do anything about it.

622
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: But there's the billboard. Okay, that's great, wonderful. You had

623
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: a nice little billboard up. That's absolutely great. Absolutely.

627
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: is one big Ben gets grilled gopolop.

628
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 7: A report on Wednesday said that with Patrick Mahomes's status

629
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 7: for next season up in the air, the Chiefs could

630
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 7: make a big move by drafting a developmental quarterback.

631
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: Oh big move, yes, Ben, did.

632
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 7: You see the Chiefs doing that?

633
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: Well, they should do it if as long as he

634
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: can handle it. The I don't know how Mahomes is wired.

635
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: Brady got very uncomfortable with Jimmy Garoppolo in New England

636
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 1: and the legend as he forced the Patriots to trade

637
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: Garoppolo because he didn't like the Garoppolo come of behind

638
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: his shoulder and as so, I depends how Mahomes wire.

639
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, smart, this is what good teams do. You

640
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: have a great quarterback, draft a guy, develop him, and

641
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: then trade him for more draft picks. Next.

642
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 7: The Carolina Panthers have won an NFL leading six games

643
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 7: as underdogs this season. They are underdogs again at home

644
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 7: against the Buccaneers team with an identic record. Do you

645
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 7: think they can come away with the upset again?

646
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, Well, if you watch Benny versus the Penny,

647
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: I do. They're a yo yo team. They're not a

648
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: good team. They're not a good team, but they're a

649
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: yo yo team right when you expect them to play poorly,

650
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: they play okay. They're inconsistent, they're often reckless, they're unstudy.

651
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: But this is Tampa Bay's a mess. Baker Mayfield has

652
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 1: been terrible the last month next.

653
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 7: So it was reported this week that Bengals coach Zach

654
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 7: Taylor's contract runs through twenty twenty seven, not twenty twenty

655
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 7: six like the team had previously announced. Taylor was asked

656
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 7: about it, and he said, I don't think it really matters.

657
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 7: I coach every day like it's my last. Yeah, And

658
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 7: will that last day come this season?

659
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: No?

660
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: Because the Bengals are cheap. They'd have to put a

661
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: bake sale together, a pot luck, pot luck luncheon to

662
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: be able to afford to pay off his concert. At

663
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: least he'll likely be back. He should be fired. How

664
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: do we do? How do we do that.

665
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:48,479
Speaker 7: Oh my god.

765
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 7: That's that's it's all about the visuals to me at

766
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 7: this point, because.

767
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,359

00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 7: Her, yes, But Amanda Seafreed also pretty pretty great actress herself.

785
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 7: And this is a wildly entertaining thriller starring Sidney Sweeney

786
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,640

00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 7: more dangerous, A sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal and power. Yes, intriguing.

791
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 7: We'll see if this one flops like our last movie.

792
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 7: I don't think it will. The last movie was about

793
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 7: a female boxer.

794
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: Now The Rain is actually gonna see this movie right

795
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: when the Cowboy game kicks off.

796
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 7: He's gonna go, Yes, probably if she's not at Disneyland.

797
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 7: But I'll be wearing my jersey with the upside down

798
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 7: Cowboys symbol.

799
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: Because you're cool. You're a cool person, all right, So

800
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: I want to cool people.

801
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 2: Do hit.

802
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 7: A couple of things on the TV side here real quick. First,

803
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,399
Speaker 7: is this kind of new experimental cartoon that they're doing.

804
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 7: It it's called Adult Swims the Elephant, and it premiered

805
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 7: on Adults well, it will premiere on Adults Swim at

806
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 7: eleven pm tonight. It's also available on HBO Max for streaming.

807
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 7: And so it's a one off experiment where they have

808
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 7: four different animators, the guy from Adventure Time, a couple

809
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 7: other famous animators, and they don't know what it is

810
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 7: they're working on, and each animator is responsible for one

811
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 7: of the show's three acts, but they were given virtually

812
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 7: no information about the other two parts, and so they

813
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 7: kind of are working together to create a cohesive story.

814
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 7: Four different animation styles, should be should be interesting. That's

815
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 7: available on HBO Max. And then, last, but certainly not.

816
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: Least, here we go.

817
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 7: Here we go on Wednesday, December twenty No, no, no,

818
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I'm wrong. It is Monday. It's on Monday, Monday.

819
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, NORMALLYY don't release stuff on Christmas Eve.

820
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 7: On Monday, December twenty second, a new Netflix documentary L Way.

821
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,919
Speaker 1: That's Rights. Oh boy, now, Coop, are you gonna buy

822
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: your next car from the Lway dealership? Because he's got

823
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: Doesn't he still have those car dealership? I didn't don't.

824
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 7: Does he still have them? I don't know if he

825
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 7: does anymore.

826
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: No, he got rid of him.

00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 7: I know he still has the uh the steakhouse. No

828
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 7: he does. He does still have the dealerships.

829
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: There's a lot of money, and if you own a

830
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: car dealership, there is a lot. I don't know how

831
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: they make so much money, but there's a ton of

832
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: money in that, a ton of money. A buddy of

833
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: mine used to work in the car business and said, dude,

834
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: that they're loaded. You can get in even if you

835
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: own a part of a car.

836
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 7: Do they used car dealerships where it's at right, that's

837
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 7: where that's where all the money is.

838
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: I was told they make most of their money on

839
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: the service. That's where they really that's where they really

840
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: stick it to you. That's where it's kind of like

841
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: when you remember the old thing with Printer's coop where

842
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: you buy the printer, they give you the printer because

843
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: the ink would cost a fortune.

844
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 7: Oh, I know it, I used to.

845
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,680
