<v Speaker 1>Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.400
<v Speaker 1>of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>treats crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the

<v Speaker 1>rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of

<v Speaker 1>with Ben Mallard starts right now in the air everywhere,

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>back at it again on a Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, ready

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>to rumble in the radio jungle. Actually it's the podcast

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Juggle Fifth Hour with myself, Ben Maller and the player

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>X to be named in a second. Because four hours

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 1>a night are not enough, we do this now, eight

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>days a week, eight days a week of slavy over

0:00:56.360 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>the hot microphones of the podcast studio or the secret

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>location in the north Woods. And this spinoff of the

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Overnight Show. We thank you for finding it, downloading, telling

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>a friend, and we are joined again by the main

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>West of the four oh five Little Along Feel good

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>about about a Saturday into a Sunday. And we had

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Abraham yesterday talked a little USC and college football

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>as a whole, and uh yeah, now I need hold

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.399
<v Speaker 1>on Are we gonna get killed here because that now

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:43.559
<v Speaker 1>we talked mostly about USC football? So are we going

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>to get destroyed because people even I don't care about us?

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Are we gonna get that negative feature? You always get

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>comments about people that wish you talk more college football,

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>though at at least it feels like it. Yes, that's true,

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>but the thing they usually bring up is my school.

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Like the guy in Arkansas wants me to talk about

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>the Razorbacks, the the fellow in Alabamas like just talking

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>about the cripon Tide. The guy in Florida's like talking

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 1>about the Gators or something like that. And then that's

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the problem. It's a it's a regional thing. But I now,

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>we'll find out how it does. I'll be interested and

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>if if people downloaded it and the numbers were good,

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll have more college football. We don't talk a lot

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>of college football at all, as we mentioned all the

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>time on the Overnight Show. So it was great, No,

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Ryan's good. It's kind of weird though we don't talk

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>as much because you know, it goes right behind the

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>national football in terms of the most watched live entertainment

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>throughout the entire year. You know, it goes NFL one,

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>then college football too, then everything else falls after that. Yeah, no,

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's a popular sport. I know, the Alabama

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>game last weekend with Florida I believe won the day

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday was the most watched vision program on Saturday,

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and then on Sunday, the NFL was the most watched

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday. So it's usually how that worked most weekend.

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, and then people were racing to try to

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>find a television to go watch u c l A

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Fresno State in the closing minutes on Saturday night, and

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>poof couldn't find it because it was stuck in the

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Pack twelve network. Well couldn't find it. And then if

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 1>they found some Russian website with an illegal stream and

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>they turned the game on, it was game over. Gutty Bruins.

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Remember Chip Kelly after they beat l s U. He said,

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>everyone knew we could we could do this. Everyone knew

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>we were going to do this. And did everyone on

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>the u u c l A team know they were

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna go out and poop the bed against Fresno State? Also, Chip,

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>did they all know that if they there against goofball anyway?

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Anyway on this podcast. Guess God we have you can

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>ram It all Day, you can ram It all Night,

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>the prequel the prequel to ram It All Day, ram

0:03:55.160 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>It all Night. We have crystal balls and obstacle course

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>and whatever else pops up, whatever else we can we

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>we could do. Let's get scientifical. There's a couple of

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 1>science stories. I read these science stories. I don't bring

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 1>them up all that much on the radio show, but

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>there's some stories in the science world that caught my

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>attention that we can talk about. So this there's a

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of things going on, but I wanted to start

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>with Ramant all Day, Ramant all Night. I got the

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:27.159
<v Speaker 1>confirmation the streak is about to end. I have not

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>been to a professional or college sporting event since March

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>of keeping my my entire life was dedicated to going

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>to professional sporting events. UH and I just I live.

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I grew up by twenties. I spent at ballparks and

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 1>arenas and stadiums, and that was my entire life. And

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>then when everything shut down in UH. Even right up

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>until the shutdown, I was going to random games. I

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>think the last game I went to was a Sunday

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.119
<v Speaker 1>night Lakers game a few days before everything got shut down.

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.719
<v Speaker 1>But I have not been since. I didn't want to

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.479
<v Speaker 1>go when there weren't fans. I thought, what's the point

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>of going there's no fans there. And the schedule hasn't

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>really worked out this this past year with some different

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:18.479
<v Speaker 1>things on the weekends I have had to do, so

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I haven't been able to go to any any Dodger

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 1>games in person. So I got the email from the

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>l A Rams that the game tomorrow America's game of

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the week. You know it's big because Joe Buck and

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Troy Aikman are going to be there. But I have

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 1>been approved, the gatekeepers have allowed me in, so I

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>will be in attendance watching Tom Brady. I would say

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.720
<v Speaker 1>his final game in l A. But Tom is gonna

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>play on their seven or eight years, so who the

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>hell knowns? But Brady will be there and I'll be there.

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Bruce arians will be there, Sean McVeigh, the Great, Matthew Stafford.

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>You can ram it all day, you can ram it

0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 1>all night. I'm excited. I've seen the stadium so far, stadium,

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>or as Troy Aikman called it, sci fi stadium. I'm

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 1>excited to see it in person and I'm a little

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>concerned about the logistics of it. I'm gonna get there.

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>They're getting there early, is no problem. I'll forego sleep

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday and the Sunday. But the the issue is

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.279
<v Speaker 1>getting out of there because I need time to kind

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>of digest everything that happened in the NFL. And I

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>can watch the games on my laptop and I can

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 1>put up a few games on my computer and watch

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>them there, So I'm not worried about that, but I'm

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>worried about getting out there because Eddie was telling me

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>horror stories about the traffic, and some other people I

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.920
<v Speaker 1>know that have been to that stadium have said that

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>it's great, it's beautiful, it's wonderful, but they did a

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:47.159
<v Speaker 1>terrible job of planning on how that mass of humanity

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>is going to get out of the stadium. So I'm

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 1>a little concerned about that. But I might have to

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 1>leave early, which I would hate to do because one

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>of the cool things about when you're in the media,

0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>when you're a blowhard in the media, they let you

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 1>go down on the field the last like four or

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>five minutes I think of the fourth quarter or something

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:06.919
<v Speaker 1>like that. I forget how long it is but you

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>get to go down and stand on the sidelines at

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 1>an NFL game and it's awesome. It's uh, and they

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 1>don't let you in the locker rooms anymore. They banned

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>that because at COVID. So it's not like the only

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>reason I would stay would be to go down on

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the field and maybe I could possibly get an interview

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>or something on the field, but I can't. There's just

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>an interview room. So it's not like I can go

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and say, all right, I'm gonna go interview Tom Brady

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room. You know, no, I can't do that. Uh.

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>You know that that you know that won't won't be allowed.

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>So that's my big news here. You can ram it

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>all day, you can ram it all night. I'm looking forward.

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I will test out the press box food, guest gun.

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I have not had press box food and over a year.

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I think we're what a year and a half? I

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>believe something like that. I think you I think you

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>misspoke a little bit too, because you said it could

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>be Tom Brady's last game in Los Angeles, but you

0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>never know, he could be making a return in a

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 1>couple of months from now. Well, no, I I said,

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I said it could be his last game, but they'll

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>play like another seven years or something. But even if

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't, he know, if he retires this season, it

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>could be at the end of the Super Bowl. Um, yeah,

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not allowed to go to the Super Bowl. You

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>know what. I guess I a deal list. I can't

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>get it. I can't go. I'll ask the NFL. I say, hey, NFL,

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>can I go, and they'll you know, I'll be like, no,

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you can't go. Yeah, okay, okay, Okay, there you go.

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>There's there's something holy about standing on the field. To

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.319
<v Speaker 1>play on the field of combat. Well, it's a baseball

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>diamond going on the ice. I know you don't skate,

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 1>but um, the gridiron. There's something so cool about being

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>on the field that it's almost I don't know how

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you get when you go into Logan or do you

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>go into LaGuardia, But I feel like there's a burst

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.839
<v Speaker 1>of energy from me when I head into New York

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>or Boston. I get like that in d C two.

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>But when I get onto the field, whether it's for

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:03.320
<v Speaker 1>football or or baseball, man, there's just something that kind

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>of brings me back to my my youth and my

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 1>college days. Of playing that It's it's hard to describe,

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 1>but it's always like that you're you're you feel like

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>you're on the freeway, don't you Like you just feel

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 1>like you wore a car in the number two lane

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and everyone else is just flying by you in the

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:25.640
<v Speaker 1>fast lane. Yeah. The thing that I like a is

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 1>just the like looking around and seeing all the especially

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 1>at the big NFL stadium. You see all the seats

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, you imagine, like what if I was

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>playing quarterback? Yeah, what I do? And then the other

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:36.959
<v Speaker 1>it used to be the smell of the grass, I

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 1>guess now it's the smell of the turf, the fake

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.439
<v Speaker 1>rubber turf that they have on the field that at

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:47.559
<v Speaker 1>most of these stadiums, including the stadium uh in l A.

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>But I just want to see the whole thing, like,

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, it's it's cool. It's a cool vibe. And

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I think I can I can get my fix because

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the Rams sent me a message they said you can

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>be on the field pre games, So I don't I'll

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>do maybe I'll do that and then post game I'll

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>just take off and try to to beat the traffic

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.200
<v Speaker 1>in the Rams. You know how good the Rams are.

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 1>They'll probably be up by a couple of touchdowns by

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the time of the fourth. Yeah, they were like that

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.040
<v Speaker 1>last week and against Indianapolis and a and a quarterback

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>with two spring and ankles. Yeah, I was really impressive

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>last week. Um yeah, okay, shut up. Yeah, I expect

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>more of that. To say, Matthew Staffords looked exceptional in

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 1>two weeks. It's uh. I mean yeah, I'm missing peace

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 1>and that that high powered offense that needed a couple

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>of blown calls by Chicago in week one. Yeah, I

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't feel like good about a couple

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.240
<v Speaker 1>of blown calls. They won the game by twenty points

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.679
<v Speaker 1>having a couple of blown calls. You got busted coverage

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>in the first touchdown of the game, and he daunt

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 1>throws a bad ball in the end zone. Well, is

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>it the Rams fault? The Bears are bad at their job?

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>How is that their fault? No, but I mean the angles.

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 1>The Bears game back and beat the Bengals. The Bengals

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 1>are beating the Vikings, who are supposed to be a

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 1>playoff contender, So make your mind up on this thing.

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Vikings didn't look good last week either. Is gonna torch

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>them up and down the field. They're Tyler Murray looked exceptional.

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Your delusion. The Vikings won that game. They're idiot kicker

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 1>missed the kick. They were in position. The Vikings should

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 1>be two and all. Should the first game, uh Cook

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>fumbles the ball and gives the game to Cincinnati. And

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:37.560
<v Speaker 1>then last week, the idiot kicker Joseph shanks a kick.

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>So no, I mean the Cardinals are a joke. I mean,

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 1>let's be honest. You and Tyler Murray at the end

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:49.440
<v Speaker 1>of that game, so good exception was disaster at the

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 1>You're proving you didn't watch the end of that game.

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.839
<v Speaker 1>He allowed the Minnesota Vikings to come back down the

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 1>field and with his shoddy play at the end of

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the of the game, there uh to to come back

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and be in position to win the game. And that

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 1>proves you did not watch the game. If you are

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>saying anything different. The last let me give you the

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 1>last four possessions of the Arizona Cardinals and a game

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that was a shootout. Uh drive started at the Arizona

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>eighteen yard line ends on a Alligator Arms Murray interception.

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>That's a turnover right there. Uh So the Vikings get

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>that turnover, go back down the field, get a field goal,

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.520
<v Speaker 1>so that's three points courtesy of alligator arms Murray. Cardinals

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>get the ball right back after that, the drive goes

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:40.319
<v Speaker 1>five plays and a punt. Okay, fine, Vikings get the

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>ball back. They screw up, they don't make anything happen.

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.599
<v Speaker 1>They give the ball back to Arizona. Another opportunity to

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>run out the clock, win the game. Arizona goes down,

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 1>they kick a field goal, they don't run out the clock,

0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 1>ball goes back to the Vikings. Uh. They go down

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>and uh and and screw up. Cardinals get another chance,

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>another chance to run the clock out. Three plays, three

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.439
<v Speaker 1>plays and a punt, and then the Vikings go down

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 1>and missed the what should have been the game winning

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 1>field goal. Last four drives, interception, punt, punt, field goal garbage,

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 1>absolute garbage from Colin Murray. And he gets to ask

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>because he's a fun size quarterback and he feel bad

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 1>because he's a little guy, but he was garbage at

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the end of that game, and all those touchdowns and

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 1>all those drives that were razzled dazz and all that

0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.679
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the game, at the end of the

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>game when it was winning time. He didn't make plays,

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and the only reason they won that game was because

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I've been competenced by the Vikings, the kicker, the Vikings

0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 1>going a wall. Well, last I checked, Minnesota was actually

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.680
<v Speaker 1>up in this game seven and so Murray brought them back.

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 1>And you failed to mention they threw for over four

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.439
<v Speaker 1>hundred yards in that game, had four total touchdowns in

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the contest, and the second half there were deadlock ten

0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 1>ten points apiece on each side. For as bad as

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>he might have been for the final four possessions of

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.880
<v Speaker 1>that game, they were dead even in terms of offensive output.

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:12.719
<v Speaker 1>So who cares. You're playing four quarters sixty, Arizona two

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and Arizona because of him. The guy has account for

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>eight touchdowns the last two weeks. You are delusional. You

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 1>were out of your bloody mind. They're out there too,

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 1>because Tennessee didn't show up. They were had a dereliction

0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>of duties in game one. Everyone might problem when the

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Titans showed up against Seattle. They beat Seattle. They we're

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 1>not ready to start. Just made the same argument with

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago Bears. What are you talking about. It's a

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 1>different situation here. This is different. Stay focused here. You

0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 1>gotta stay focused. It's a bad job by you. You

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 1>should at least except the fact that the NFC West

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be a dog fight. I don't think it.

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's gonna be a dog fight. This

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 1>is still in the feeling out process. And then the

0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals have no depth and you don't under daying that

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 1>because you don't get the nuance of football. But they

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 1>will have any depth and once the injuries start piling up,

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and they will pile up. It happens to everybody, they

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>will be exposed. And Kyler Murray he's he can't make

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 1>it through an entire season healthy. He's you're starting quarterback.

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.320
<v Speaker 1>It's like five teams with winning records, Like, what are

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 1>you talking about? Yes, because he just played for a

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 1>bad team. If you played for being good, dude, who cares.

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 1>That's the basic. That's the big dummy teams and you're

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 1>on When you play good teams and you're on a

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>bad team, you lose. Listen to news flash, news flash,

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Peyton Manning went to a bad team. That's why he

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.119
<v Speaker 1>was number one the NFL draft, and then he elevated

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>said bad teams because he's a great quarterback. Matthew Stafford

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 1>is never debating his performant. Matthew Stafford's elevating his performance

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>with the l A Rams, and he has been the

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>story of the season. Everyone agrees he's the m v

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 1>P right now in the NFL. Has been electric. He's

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>got my vote for the m v P. He's been

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>and outstanding and and the knowledgeable football people will tell

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 1>you that Matthew Stafford is the m v P after

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>two weeks in the NFL and quarterback in the NFC

0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>right now, Yes, he is. Who's better, Kyler Murray is

0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 1>He's put up all the numbers, better numbers than n

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I just gave you the I just I laid it

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>all out. Kyler Murray screwed up that game. The Vikings

0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>should have won the game because of Kyler Murrays encompass.

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>He loses the m v P the first two weeks

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>because of that. He's got more, he's got more passing yards,

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's got more touchdowns than than Matthew Stafford. What

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.840
<v Speaker 1>are you talking about? Matthew Stafford heroically leading the Rams

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 1>back on the road in a hostile environment with snavvy

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>confident play at the quarterback position because you can ram

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>it all day, you can ram it all night. What

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 1>a what a gutsy performed gumption is word I will

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>use to describe Matthew Stafford at the end of that game,

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 1>because the Rams, right, there was the mistake, there was

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the fumble after that for play seventy yard drive, touchdown,

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.560
<v Speaker 1>twelve play, fifty five yard drive, field goal, and then

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the Colts while that was going on, they had a punt,

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a field goal and an interception and then their last

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.679
<v Speaker 1>drive with the guy with two bad ankles the end

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.320
<v Speaker 1>of the game. That was it. But Matthew Stafford, my god,

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 1>what a gift, What a gift? And wait till he

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.440
<v Speaker 1>beats Tom Brady. Well, he won't get credit for beating

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.679
<v Speaker 1>tom Brady because Tom bradyill get hurt this weekend against

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:36.959
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Donald and then people will lose them. But how

0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.920
<v Speaker 1>upset is the NFL gonna be when Tom Brady is

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.920
<v Speaker 1>unable to play against the Patriots in week number four?

0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>He's so upset You're rooting for a guy to get injured.

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>That's unbelievable, that's embarrassing. Didn't sound like I'm rooting when

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you always root when it's your team. The Rams, No, no,

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm just really pointing out what I see here in

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 1>my crystal Ball and I'm just pointing out at speaking

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 1>of crystal Ball's guest guns. Speaking of crystal Balls. We

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 1>move on on the podcast here and as we get

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>some not you, but as we get settled into the

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.080
<v Speaker 1>humble abode we have been living in, it is is

0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:23.640
<v Speaker 1>still a construction zone. Like to thank the fine contractors

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:25.640
<v Speaker 1>that have decided this is not a priority for them

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:29.600
<v Speaker 1>to finish this job. And so with with the the

0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:33.679
<v Speaker 1>wife here, the interior designer, and she is trying to

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:37.119
<v Speaker 1>make the house a home, all right, trying to make

0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.639
<v Speaker 1>it at home, and so putting her touch on the

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 1>renovated Mallard mansion. So now I am pretty hands off.

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:49.040
<v Speaker 1>As long as it's not horrifically disgusting, I will technically

0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and I just look the other way. I'll ignore it.

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I have a theory on houses right near the ocean

0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:02.600
<v Speaker 1>or beautiful views like city views, and things in the

0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:10.359
<v Speaker 1>house like rugs and chandeliers. My theory is, don't spend

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.680
<v Speaker 1>too much money on any of that stuff. You don't

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 1>have to live with a view of the Pacific Ocean

0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 1>in Malibu. You don't have to live with a penthouse

0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:26.439
<v Speaker 1>apartment in Manhattan looking over Gotham in Central Park. And

0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the reason, in the same reason you don't need to

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 1>spend a fortune on a on a rug or a

0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 1>chandelier is after a certain amount of time, you will

0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>stop looking out the window at the ocean, you will

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 1>stop looking at the window at Central Park. You will

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.080
<v Speaker 1>not even notice the rug, the chandelier. It just becomes

0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:49.160
<v Speaker 1>background noise, becomes elevator music. So what's the point. That's

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 1>always been my And it's true. I I've have friends

0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.160
<v Speaker 1>that have lived in beautiful places with great views, and

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:56.919
<v Speaker 1>I'll go over to their place and I'll be like, Wow,

0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 1>this is amazing, and they don't even look. They're like

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.320
<v Speaker 1>they're so used to just you know, that's that's there,

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:07.719
<v Speaker 1>that's becomes normal. That's my advice to life. So that's like,

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:11.879
<v Speaker 1>that's that's so asked backwards, Like that's like that's like

0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 1>telling somebody that they shouldn't buy a Ferrari or a

0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:18.919
<v Speaker 1>Porsche because after a while, it's just it's a vehicle

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:23.640
<v Speaker 1>with with tires that rotate. Well, you get that's that's

0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:27.280
<v Speaker 1>that logic is so stupid. It's not the it's it's

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.639
<v Speaker 1>the it's the ability to have that opportunity and to

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:35.040
<v Speaker 1>have that location and have that scenery that you capitalize

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.120
<v Speaker 1>on it. And as you know in this game, real

0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.119
<v Speaker 1>estate and location is everything in real estate. So to

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 1>be in that said position means not only that you

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.239
<v Speaker 1>have a great view or a great area, but then

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 1>you also can build a wealth out of that. I don't,

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:52.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I can't fathom. That's like saying that you

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:55.920
<v Speaker 1>only want to engage with a woman for her looks initiative,

0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 1>but then after a while those things just fade away

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 1>and you don't care anymore how she looks. Is that?

0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that how you like? Concept? Concept is the same though,

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 1>when you're with someone, you know, in theory, if you

0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 1>marry someone, you're with them till they die. When they

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:13.320
<v Speaker 1>their beauty is fleeting, and it's not you're not going

0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to be as beautiful as you were when you were

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:18.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years old when you're sixty five years old.

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:22.840
<v Speaker 1>That's just you can't keep up. Yeah, but you can

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 1>keep up, but you're not listen. I'm telling you you

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.639
<v Speaker 1>are completely right now. I didn't mention real estate, but

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about if you buy a house because oh

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 1>my god, that view is amazing. I'm gonna I'm gonna

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 1>go out and look at that view. It is fake,

0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:38.119
<v Speaker 1>it is phony. It didn't happen. It didn't happen because

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:41.800
<v Speaker 1>you're right. You you do that, and after a while,

0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you just it just kind of you fades away over

0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:46.399
<v Speaker 1>a certain amount of time, and you know, look, you

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:49.120
<v Speaker 1>should take your advice when you go to Costco next time,

0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you know what, because you only need to have the

0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.240
<v Speaker 1>food that you want to consume at home. Like you

0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 1>don't need the samples at Costco anymore because those things

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:02.119
<v Speaker 1>like don't they don't have them anymore. They so my

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:05.679
<v Speaker 1>life has been fine without them. Life. Life is all

0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.480
<v Speaker 1>about indulging, Ben, And so if you can indulge on

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 1>a great piece of scenery, whether it's beachfront property or

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:15.320
<v Speaker 1>a city view, you must do that. Well, it's wrong

0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 1>with you. That's like to say you can never have

0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:21.800
<v Speaker 1>enough barbecue sauce on chicken fingers or anough salt on

0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 1>French friends. What's wrong with you? Now? Again? Guess the

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.919
<v Speaker 1>concept is simple when you buy. If I bought a

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.200
<v Speaker 1>house with a view of the ocean, I would love

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:34.159
<v Speaker 1>the house. I would think it's great and wonderful. But

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:38.200
<v Speaker 1>after a few months I'd still like it. But I wouldn't.

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:40.639
<v Speaker 1>I would be up staring at the ocean every day

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:44.160
<v Speaker 1>because that's just there every day. If you're used to it,

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:47.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just you know, it's just this out

0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:52.119
<v Speaker 1>you know what. This sounds exactly like the first month,

0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe month and a half of the fifth that with

0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Ben Maller, like you had me on. You're excited about

0:22:58.160 --> 0:22:59.880
<v Speaker 1>having me on as a producer. Then after a while

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:03.120
<v Speaker 1>just like so maybe you're just taking the view and

0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:07.160
<v Speaker 1>me for granted. It's just like, yeah, I just are

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:11.639
<v Speaker 1>you turning this into at about you? How you're west

0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 1>four good? How do you take this stuff for granting?

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:20.920
<v Speaker 1>You gotta enjoy these things. You work at a stressful job.

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 1>You are you are hired to get fired. So if

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:28.159
<v Speaker 1>you could have beachfront property, of course they think that

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you would value it a lot more than if you

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:35.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't at all. You should try it. How about that. Again,

0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying I wouldn't enjoy it. I'm just saying

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 1>in life in general, after a while, and maybe you

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know this because you're you're you're the pompous ass

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:49.160
<v Speaker 1>over there. You can take your arrogance, but uh, in general,

0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to have the joy. After a while,

0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:57.480
<v Speaker 1>you get used to things, things become normal, they become stale.

0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 1>That's what happens. But anyway, that's not side tracked here.

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 1>It's not about that's not about this. I'm just my

0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 1>point was when you put expensive things in, it just

0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really after a while, it just becomes part of

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:13.359
<v Speaker 1>the house and people don't really pay that much attention

0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 1>to it. But my wife had, really she had these

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 1>wonderful ideas about getting this amazing chandelier. Right, So she's

0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:22.399
<v Speaker 1>been trying to find this chandelier that really popped and

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:25.880
<v Speaker 1>sings to her and you know, you can see angels

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:30.040
<v Speaker 1>dancing when you see the So after months of searching,

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:34.160
<v Speaker 1>she finally found one that caught her eye. And it

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:38.440
<v Speaker 1>was pretty pricey, pretty pricey, and but it was good looking.

0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:42.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, I had a bunch of these crystal balls

0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:46.280
<v Speaker 1>and you know, it's all put together and it was

0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:49.240
<v Speaker 1>a masterpiece of for a chandelier. It had the Rasma test.

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:54.120
<v Speaker 1>So we ordered it and we they said, well, okay,

0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:55.639
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be delivered. We don't have it at the

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:57.800
<v Speaker 1>chandelier store. So we're gonna have it delivered to the

0:24:57.840 --> 0:24:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to the Mallard mansion in a few days. We said, okay, fine,

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 1>so the Mallard Mansion, it arrives the chandelier and here's

0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:08.639
<v Speaker 1>a multiple choice. All right, multiple choice question. A. The

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:12.359
<v Speaker 1>chandelier was broken when it showed up. B it was

0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:19.639
<v Speaker 1>missing parts. Uh see it had the Rubik's cube effect

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:22.199
<v Speaker 1>or D none of the above. What do you think

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:26.760
<v Speaker 1>it was? I'm gonna say, see, uh, that is correct.

0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:30.040
<v Speaker 1>That is the Rubik's cube effect, as I call it.

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 1>The answer is is a C H that you needed

0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:39.439
<v Speaker 1>a PhD to build this? This thing it was and

0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:46.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm not exaggerating here, in hundreds of pieces the chandelier,

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 1>each crystal ball and there were hundreds of these things

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:50.920
<v Speaker 1>on the chandelier. All right, So I got a question

0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:55.879
<v Speaker 1>for you. Then, did your wife order that specifically knowing

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:58.720
<v Speaker 1>that so that way you guys could spend quality time

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:03.480
<v Speaker 1>assembling it together. No. No, In fact, we were under

0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:06.479
<v Speaker 1>the assumption that this would be showing up at our

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 1>door because it cost a lot of money already constructed.

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Because why would spend that amount of money if it's

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:17.680
<v Speaker 1>like going to ikea and you have to build a dresser.

0:26:17.840 --> 0:26:21.240
<v Speaker 1>What's the point anyway? So they had these little chicken

0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:24.040
<v Speaker 1>scratch instructions and I looked at this thing and I'm like, no,

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:27.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I'm not building this thing. And you know,

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:29.800
<v Speaker 1>she's like, I don't have time to build this thing.

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 1>We spent a lot of money on it. So we

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:33.439
<v Speaker 1>went back to the store. My wife said, hey, can

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 1>you build this thing? We spend a lot of money

0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:37.639
<v Speaker 1>on it. It's beautiful, it's what we want, but we

0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:39.919
<v Speaker 1>don't we can't build it. We just don't have the time,

0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 1>nor do we have the desire to do it. And

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 1>they said, sure, no problem, we have somebody that can

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 1>help you out. Uh. And then and they'll build it

0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and look great, they'll come to your house. It'll be wonderful.

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 1>And said, okay, wonderful. Uh. And then they said how

0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 1>much that would cost to have the chandelier built? How

0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:57.480
<v Speaker 1>much do you think it would cost to have the

0:26:57.560 --> 0:26:59.679
<v Speaker 1>chandelier built? This is an estimate that we got from

0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the people we bought them from. UM say, I'm gonna

0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:09.679
<v Speaker 1>say four fifty Uh No, how about six hundred dollars

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:15.040
<v Speaker 1>to build a chandelier. So we politely declined, and we'll

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>be returning the chandelier and let you know that it

0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>is a scam. Now they claim the only the only

0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:27.240
<v Speaker 1>way they can ship the chandelier is because it's made

0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 1>out of crystal, they can only ship it in pieces,

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:34.080
<v Speaker 1>which is fine. Just let people know when they're buying

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:36.320
<v Speaker 1>it that you're going to get it and need to

0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 1>spend an additional amount of money to have the thing built.

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I get it. He wanted to make the sale. But

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:46.400
<v Speaker 1>what a bait and swift. Oh, we'll have to find

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 1>a different chandelier that's already assembled. That's already assembled. So

0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:56.520
<v Speaker 1>no crystal balls at least not seven million different crystal

0:27:56.520 --> 0:28:00.440
<v Speaker 1>balls all put together there, at least not at our house.

0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, the the obstacle course, Yes, John, the obstacle course.

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Now this is another one of these stories. It's a

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 1>life of Mallard. And we were greeted with a big

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>surprise in addition to the crystal balls. Should I name

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 1>should I know? Should I name the the company here?

0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Should I name the company that? Yes? Of course, Yes,

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:27.000
<v Speaker 1>General Electric g E is the name of the company.

0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:30.919
<v Speaker 1>So uh. We had purchased a dishwasher for the Mallard

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:34.200
<v Speaker 1>mansion and it took a while to get it shows

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:38.880
<v Speaker 1>up at the house. UH, wife signed it, signed for it.

0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Contractor said, we can't install it for a few days

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:45.360
<v Speaker 1>because they're on contractor time and so it's not ready

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to be put in. We can't put it in right now.

0:28:47.400 --> 0:28:52.000
<v Speaker 1>So by the time the contractor opened the box for

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 1>the dishwasher, much to their amazement, they discovered that somehow

0:28:57.240 --> 0:29:01.960
<v Speaker 1>while it was being delivered, a passive dent was in

0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the top of the dishwasher. It had been damaged in shipping.

0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:11.480
<v Speaker 1>So we UH were like, whoa, what I mean this is?

0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was in the box and couldn't open

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the box because it was not ready to be put

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>anyone open the box before anyway. So we called the

0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:22.640
<v Speaker 1>place we got it from, a big box store owned

0:29:23.360 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 1>by the owner of the Atlanta Falcons UH and told

0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 1>them the issue, and that began a wild goose chase.

0:29:34.000 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 1>And the wild goose chase was everyone and their uncle

0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 1>passing the buck. Uh. They said, well, you've got to

0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:45.600
<v Speaker 1>call the delivery company. So called the delivery company. They

0:29:45.640 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 1>of course covered there, took us and said it was

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 1>not their problems since we only had forty eight hours

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:55.520
<v Speaker 1>to report an issue. The distre wasn't put in for

0:29:55.600 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 1>like a week after it was delivered because it was

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:00.720
<v Speaker 1>not ready to be put in. They then said, we'll

0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:04.360
<v Speaker 1>call General Electric, called ge back, big company, they'll take

0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:07.480
<v Speaker 1>care of you. So we called the ge back and

0:30:07.520 --> 0:30:09.920
<v Speaker 1>they say, it's not our problem, not our problem. So

0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:14.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's been a daunting task, tremendous customer service

0:30:14.760 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 1>at all these companies. Unless there was not it is

0:30:18.000 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 1>cover your ass, one on one. So what a scam?

0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 1>What a scam. So we now have a dishwasher that

0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 1>cannot be installed because the dent is so large that

0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you can't put it in. It won't fit because it's

0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:38.600
<v Speaker 1>a kind of a it's hard to describe here, but

0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the top of it is dented in, which means the

0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:44.760
<v Speaker 1>other parts of it pinning up and it won't work.

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:50.360
<v Speaker 1>So if anybody wants a broken dishwasher which cost a

0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 1>couple of thousand bucks, you know, whatever it was, it

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 1>was that much, but it was it was a fair

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:57.920
<v Speaker 1>amount of money. It can be hers if you want

0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:03.200
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's it's a joke too, because these these companies,

0:31:03.440 --> 0:31:06.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's like listen, do you deliver stuff and

0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 1>this you can't exactly go pick this thing up these days,

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 1>everything's delivery, delivery, delivery, and then you funk up one

0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:15.680
<v Speaker 1>of your guys fox up, and then you can't even

0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, take care of the prop. I'm kind of customers.

0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll never buy another G product the rest of my life.

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 1>They've done. They're dead to me. It's over. So congratulations, Yeah, congratulations.

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Did you elevate it to a supervisor or a manager? Oh? Yeah,

0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 1>he went through the whole chain of command, you know,

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:37.960
<v Speaker 1>everyone it passes the buck and they're like, okay, let

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:40.000
<v Speaker 1>me let me get my manager on. Then the managers

0:31:40.040 --> 0:31:42.400
<v Speaker 1>like okay, let me let me go to this other person.

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 1>You know. They go through the whole thing and everyone

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:48.000
<v Speaker 1>no one collapse at the end. It doesn't have happending.

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:51.240
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, uh, what else do we have? And you

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:53.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna do a little scientifical should we get the heck

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 1>out of here? What do you think? Guess what? I

0:31:55.040 --> 0:32:02.040
<v Speaker 1>feel bad for you now? Generally feel bad. Let's not listen,

0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>it's only money. Who cares? You can't take it with you? Right?

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:07.160
<v Speaker 1>You can't have a sudden all of a sudden, you

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:10.880
<v Speaker 1>went from frugal Mallard to freewheel and delon Mallard like,

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't listen, what am I gonna do? It's people

0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:19.080
<v Speaker 1>are assholes. Companies are shitty. They don't have service, home

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:21.520
<v Speaker 1>depot in general electric in these companies. I mean, that's

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 1>how they do business. You know, that's on them. You know,

0:32:24.240 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 1>just remember that when you buy products in these places

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:31.240
<v Speaker 1>that they don't always take care of if something goes wrong. Hey,

0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 1>how in your is your kitchen done yet? No? It's

0:32:35.360 --> 0:32:38.040
<v Speaker 1>not done. We don't have an oven. We don't have

0:32:38.080 --> 0:32:43.360
<v Speaker 1>a microwave, we don't have uh, we have a refrigerator,

0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 1>but it's like an old refrigerator. We don't have like

0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:48.560
<v Speaker 1>my wife wanted all this stuff. It takes you know,

0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:50.440
<v Speaker 1>several months, and I don't even want it's gonna be here.

0:32:51.160 --> 0:32:54.800
<v Speaker 1>So do you guys have stove stove yet? No? I

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:56.480
<v Speaker 1>we don't have an oven. We don't have a stove.

0:32:56.520 --> 0:32:58.920
<v Speaker 1>We don't have any of that. What about barbecue? Do

0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 1>you have a barbecue? We have a barbecue. It's covered

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:05.400
<v Speaker 1>in dust, and it's the whole backyards covered in construction

0:33:05.440 --> 0:33:10.040
<v Speaker 1>glass and dust. So that's good time, dude, good time.

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Fence is broken, the whole thing. It's a wonderful time.

0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:16.320
<v Speaker 1>The good news is at least you're residing in southern California.

0:33:16.360 --> 0:33:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you were in the Midwest and this

0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:21.680
<v Speaker 1>stuff was going down, it's a bad poposition with the

0:33:21.720 --> 0:33:25.000
<v Speaker 1>weather changing from one way to the other. Too bad.

0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Now's it's fall weather is actually nice. It's them when

0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you're getting a winner though, that's the problem came over. Yeah,

0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:36.880
<v Speaker 1>that's that's the issue. Well, here's good news. We'll get

0:33:36.920 --> 0:33:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to let's get scientific. A couple of stories caught my attention.

0:33:40.240 --> 0:33:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Scientist scientists have used Japanese not weed whatever that is,

0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:51.880
<v Speaker 1>to make night trade free bacon. So they've determined now

0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:57.800
<v Speaker 1>that using this not weed, that they can make foods

0:33:57.880 --> 0:34:03.080
<v Speaker 1>that have traditionally been bad process meats like bacon, and

0:34:03.200 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 1>they can make it make it healthy or at least healthier.

0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Are they reduced in the lab, they were able to

0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:13.799
<v Speaker 1>reduce the creation of compounds in the body that are

0:34:13.840 --> 0:34:17.799
<v Speaker 1>linked to cancer. And so they claim to use this

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:22.160
<v Speaker 1>technology and fine tune it. And it's a plant. It's

0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:26.239
<v Speaker 1>considered an invasive species in a lot of places, but

0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:29.400
<v Speaker 1>it's native to Japan, and they have used it to

0:34:29.440 --> 0:34:33.920
<v Speaker 1>form a healthier red meat. Yeah, it looks um, it

0:34:33.960 --> 0:34:36.840
<v Speaker 1>almost looks like mint in some ways, the way that

0:34:36.960 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 1>it's the way that it's uh shape, it's a fast

0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:48.040
<v Speaker 1>growing plant. Feared by homeowners, it says, feared by homeowners.

0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:53.280
<v Speaker 1>But uh so, anything that can make processed meats healthier,

0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I fully support. What else? See page down. Pretty Oh,

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 1>here's a fun fact about human beings. They determined I

0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:05.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know how they determined this, that prehistoric human beings

0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:08.600
<v Speaker 1>made it with their cousins three percent of the time.

0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Today it's ten. Yeah, today, that's a lot. Shout out

0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:23.040
<v Speaker 1>to the shout out to the SEC fans out there. Wow,

0:35:23.200 --> 0:35:27.400
<v Speaker 1>shots fired here. Do you think anybody above the Mason

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Dixon line partakes in that activity? Oh? Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:35.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna guess. I'm gonna guess, like the I'm gonna

0:35:35.880 --> 0:35:41.920
<v Speaker 1>guess the northeast. You mean the northeast? Yeah, what state?

0:35:42.040 --> 0:35:49.120
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire? You ver Vermont? Vermont? That Prince of Vermont? Now,

0:35:50.080 --> 0:35:53.040
<v Speaker 1>where is West Virginia on that there? There are they

0:35:53.080 --> 0:35:55.480
<v Speaker 1>below the Mason Dixon line? Are they above the Mason

0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:59.200
