You can stay there or call up and 39 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: scream and shout and all that stuff. But our lead 40 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: this hour is from Cansa City, the home of the 41 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: Ben Mather Chicken figures. The Chiefs are back, baby, The 42 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: Chiefs are back after that win on Monday night against 43 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: the Lions. However, that is not the story from that 44 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: game that people are yapping about. It's still got legs. 45 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: A couple days later here after the Chiefs played a 46 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: perfect game. Let me repeat that for those of you 47 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: a little slow in the back of the room. The 48 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: Chiefs played a perfect game, zero penalties against the Detroit 49 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: football team. Coach Andy Reid was asked about his opinion 50 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: on the referees performance that do you think that Andy 51 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: a rip? The referees said they should have called seventeen 52 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: penalties against us. Be said, the referees did a great job. 53 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: Or see had no comment? What do you think he said? 54 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: Did you see what he said? Did you see his response? 55 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: You did not see his response? No you did not, Okay, 56 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: perhaps you perhaps you missed it. So Andy Reid gave 57 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: a measured response. Is the way I will describe it here. 58 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: He said, quote, I thought the officials let the guys play. 59 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I agreed with everything that went on, 60 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: Reid said, but you know what that means? But I 61 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: thought they were very fair on how they did it. Okay, 62 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: So that's the that's the point there made by Andy Reid. 63 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: Andy Reid said that it was quote good for the fans. Now, 64 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: based on listener feedback that I've gotten from the State 65 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: of Michigan, they did not agree that it was good 66 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: for the fans. They did not agree with that. And 67 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: every penalty that went against the Lions impacted Kansas City's 68 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: offense and hurt the Lions offense or vice versa. So 69 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: Reid's whole point to sum it up in four words, 70 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: they let it play out, which I guess is five 71 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: because I had to they in there, but let it 72 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: play out worthy four words. So a level headed response 73 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: by Andy Reid, which of course triggered the tinfoil hot 74 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: crowd convinced convinced that the NFL is rigging games for 75 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. This is a story that 76 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: pops up just about every year on the calendar, same 77 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: time about every year. And here we are, so these 78 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: fine individuals, salt of the earth, and some of you 79 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: guys have reached out to me who are in this cult, 80 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: and you have said to me, hey, listen, the refs 81 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: are in the tank with the NFL, obviously paid by 82 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: the NFL, and they're out to get anybody playing Kansas City. 83 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: They believe that the referees are apparently on speed dial 84 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: with Travis Kelcey and they text Taylor Swift between plays. 85 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: It's like, hey, Taylor, should we call holding on the 86 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: other team? Pass interference? Okay, we'll call passing difference? Why 87 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: not holding? Well, we don't want holding, we want pass interfirs. Okay, 88 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: we'll give you pass interference. Fine, there you go. Now. 89 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: Some of you have pointed out a study done. I 90 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: love that universities are doing studies on NFL teams and officials. 91 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: The University of Texas l Passo. Hello to my homeboys 92 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: working in the factory there in El Paso. You know 93 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: who you are. So anyway, UTEP did a study which 94 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: the findings this went from This ended not last season, 95 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: the year before, but in the study done by UTEP, 96 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: the findings indicate this is great that postseason officiating trends 97 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: have disproportionately benefited the Patrick Mahomes chiefs. In fact, a professor, 98 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: doctor Spencer Barnes. Never heard of him. Not my doctor, 99 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: He's not your doctor. Doctor Barnes. So, doctor Barnes said, quote. 100 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: The fact that postseason penalties consistently favored one franchise, meaning 101 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: Kansas City, while similar dynasties showed no such pattern points 102 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: to the powerful role of financial incentives, financial incentives and 103 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: shaping supposedly neutral decisions. Close quote all right, So let 104 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: us discuss the question for the esteem panel, which you 105 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: are part of. Do you believe do you believe that 106 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: there is an NFL grand conspiracy to help Travis Kelcey 107 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. So on this one, I've got Buffalo 108 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: Wild Wings, the Hair Club for Men, and Pillow, and 109 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we 110 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: are going to make the greatest donut of them all, 111 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: the Apple Fritter donut, the greatest doughnut of them all. Now, 112 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: first of all, to answer the question I wish I 113 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: believe because it would be better as a talk show host, 114 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: I don't. I am not a believer. I'm agnostic on 115 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: this one. And here's why my problem and I can't 116 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: get past this. I've done too much sports talk radio. 117 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: I have done this job for many, many years. I've 118 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: been through a number of dynasties in sports and yapped 119 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: about them on the radio, and the one common denominator 120 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: through this entire journey in sportscasting has been team wins. 121 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: A lot fans complain teams getting benefit of the officials 122 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: calling in their direction. So every dynasty gets painted by 123 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: people as being run by the illumina. 124 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: Nah. 125 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: In this case it's the NFL. But same thing happens 126 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: in basketball. We don't really get dynasties anymore in baseball. 127 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: But when the Yankees were winning and there was the 128 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: belief that the Yankees got every call, I was told 129 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: by somebody that played for the Yankees that they believed 130 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: the guys on the Yankees believe at the old Yankee Stadium, 131 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: when George Steinbrenner, the old owner known as the Boss 132 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: when he was in charge there, that they truly believed 133 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: umpires were afraid of calling pitches on the border against 134 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: the Yankees because George Steinbrenner would raise Holy Hell. But 135 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: again that's perception much like this we're talking about Kansas 136 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: City here. It happened also with the Patriots, and my 137 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: brothers and sisters who are Patriots fans know, when they 138 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: were winning, it was like, oh, the NFL wants Tom 139 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: Brady to win, they want Bill Belichick to win and 140 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: all that stuff. And I go back so far the 141 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. I remember when the Cowboys used to win 142 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: and they were like, oh, the NFL officials are in 143 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: the tank for the Cowboys because they got the big 144 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: stars in that erap. Yeah, and that was before social 145 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: media was even a thing. That was just when we 146 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: had sports talk radio and fax machines and people were 147 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: pumping up the tires on the Dallas Cowboys back in 148 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: the nineties. So it's not some secret zebra cabal that 149 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: gets together. Like the theory is, these guys all get together, 150 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: they go to Buffalo Wild Wings and then Andy Reid 151 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: is given a button and it's a direct line to 152 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: the league officiating headquarters. So when he's on his headset 153 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: and he's covering his mouth because he's got his play sheet, 154 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: he's actually talking to the league office. Can we get 155 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: a defensive holding on Team X? Can we do? 156 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 3: Now? 157 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: We can't? Can you give me? How about I want 158 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: an offensive holding? This team's driving against my defense. Can 159 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: I get an offensive holding? We need that? Yes, sure, 160 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: no problem, anddy whatever you need. The reality is rather simple, 161 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: and it doesn't make for great talk radio. But since 162 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, which is the meat and potatoes of this 163 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: particular era, and really just the entire run with Mahomes 164 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: taking over. Since twenty eighteen, Kansas City is ranked in 165 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: the top ten in the top ten of accepted penalties, 166 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: not the bottom, the top top ten. Now, what does 167 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: that mean. That means if this is a rigged delio, 168 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: if the NFL's rigging these games for Kansas City, the 169 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: referees are doing a god awful job. They're doing a 170 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: terrible job of covering their tracks. Right, there's a terrible job. 171 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: And Kansas City last I checked, and I've been there, 172 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: and I have friends in Kansas City. I love visiting. 173 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: It's I've had a lot of fun when I've gone 174 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: there a few times over the years. But when you 175 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: go to Kansas City, right, it's not Manhattan. Now, if 176 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: you want Manhattan, there's a Manhattan Kansas which is you know, 177 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: good drive away. It's not the Big Apple Manhattan. And 178 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's not Los Angeles. It's not like 179 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: a top market. It's TV market number thirty one, TV 180 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: market number three. You don't build a villain empire in 181 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: the shadow of Wichital. You don't do it, no one 182 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: would do it. And as for the UTEP study, and 183 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: I used to love studies. I used to talk about 184 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: a lot on my podcasts I do on the weekends, 185 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour Podcast, And I learned over the years. 186 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: At some point I had an epiphany and I realized 187 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: that you have to look at who pays for the study. 188 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: You have to look at who's doing the study, because 189 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: it's often it's not on the up and up. I 190 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: used to think those things were all on the up 191 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: and up, everything was kosher. It's not so. But anyway, 192 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: this one, the UTEP study, I dug into it a 193 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: little bit, leaned into it. And the postseason flags they said, 194 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: lean heavily towards Kansas City during the Mahomes era. And 195 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: they connect the dots and it's like there's a conspiracy. 196 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: And it's like they've got their their corkboard up and 197 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: they're connecting yarn to different things and they're like, well, 198 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: there you go. They get their flash light and they 199 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: don't even have a flashlight. They have the light on 200 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: their head. You know those lights you put on your 201 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: head you're looking at crawling on your body trying to 202 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: crawl through the underside of your house or something like 203 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: that at two in the morning. But this is the 204 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: same tired VHS tape that they dusted off when Michael 205 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 1: Jordan was getting whistles. Uh. And I buy that more 206 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: than this. Like the NBA and with David Stern, that 207 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: was his playbook. We got stars. We want the stars 208 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: to get calls. And a foul against Michael Jordan is 209 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: not the same call against Joe blow on the bench. 210 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: It's just not. 211 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 4: Uh. 212 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: There were hockey people when I saw Wayne Gretzky play 213 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: and people said, well, Wayne Gretzky, you know when Wayne 214 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: was breathing near the blue line, there was an official 215 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: there skating around, uh with a with a whistle. It's 216 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: not collusion, right, It's not collusion. It's success envy. That's 217 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: what I call I call it success envy. And you 218 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: know what they say, you know say there. The saying 219 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: is that when you reach the very top of thet 220 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: you've worked your entire life in sports and you get 221 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: to the very top of the mountain, many people assume 222 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: that you got there on a ski lift. He didn't 223 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: climb the mountain. You took the easy way to the top. 224 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: Of the right now. Secondly, I am contractually obligated by 225 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: the powers of the bet to mention the Dallas Cowboys 226 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: every so often, So we'll do that right now. To 227 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: Dallas we go, where, despite the horrific defense, the struggles 228 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys defense, they blow this season. Jerry Jones 229 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: remaining very confident in his embattled defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus 230 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: now during his weekly radio show, which the editing department 231 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: here Fox Sports Radio deemed not worthy of recording on. 232 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: During that Jerry Jones said, Matt Eberflus is someone quote 233 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: I want in the fox hole with me. That's a quote. 234 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: Jerry also explained that he jumped, jumped at the op 235 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: You think Jerry's ever jumped at anything maybe like a 236 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: hot blonde in like nineteen ninety, but not not recently anyway. 237 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: So during his weekly radio show, Jones said that you 238 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: know he wants you know, he's a Foxhole guy. That 239 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: was his line, and he said he jumped jumped a 240 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: higher Matt Eberflus and said he you know, this is 241 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: the guy that I wanted this offseason to run the 242 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: defense and have not changed my position after six games, 243 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: and he was pumping the tires about all the adversity 244 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: that Matt Eberflus has been through and all that bull crap. 245 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: All right, question how much stalk? How much stalk do 246 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: you put in Jerry Jones giving a vote of confidence, 247 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: the dreaded vote of confidence the Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. 248 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: So normally, and you know what I'm about to saying, 249 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: like normally, this is the kiss of death. You are cooked. 250 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: It is dun skis right, that's the kids kiss of death. 251 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: Like the he's our guy speech. We've all heard it. 252 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: It happened right before a piano drops on top of 253 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: your head from the third floor. Cob boom, see you later. 254 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: Now in Dallas, though it's different, My read on the 255 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: room in Dallas is a little different because Jerry's doing 256 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: what Jerry always does. He's making this about him. I 257 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: do a YouTube show called Benny Versus the Penny with 258 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: a guy who also makes it all about him, So 259 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: I know the all about him person. I know the 260 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: all about the person. I do that show with a 261 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: little less financially well off than Jerry Jones, but nonetheless 262 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: all right, So if Jerry says I am going to 263 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: give the excommunication message to Matt everfuss. I'm gonna kick 264 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: him out of the Dallas Cowboys, right, get rid of him. Well, 265 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: he's not just admitting Jerry Jones at that point. He's 266 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: not admitting that the defense stinks. It's more than that, 267 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: he's admitting I screwed up. I'm a bad GM. I 268 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: hired the wrong guy. That's on me and what I 269 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: know about Jerry Jones. This is a hair club for 270 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: men's situation. The great line from Walt Fraser, no play 271 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: for mister Gray. Jerry's not going to allow that to happen, right, 272 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: He's I'll hold on to a mistake. He's gonna hold 273 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: onto this mistake longer than a bad real estate investment, 274 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: just so he does not have to do the walk 275 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: of shame and admit now that job by me. If 276 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: Doup and the numbers don't lie, they don't. The Cowboys 277 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: are dead last, at the very bottom the sewer in 278 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: total defense. They're dead last against the past twenty eighth 279 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: against the run. They've given up thirty point seven points 280 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: per game, thirty point seven points per game they tackle. 281 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, watch all these Cowboy games, it looks 282 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: like they tackle like they're wearing those inflatable sumo suits, 283 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: hard to move around, a lot of plotting. It's embarrassing. 284 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: And I'm not a Cowboy fan. In fact, I enjoy 285 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: this because it's good for what I do. I enjoy 286 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 1: with you the Cowboys defense, even with the Micah Parsons 287 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: trade right, well, there's enough there, there'll be somewhat competitive 288 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: and all that. So and Jerry, he really wants to 289 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: show the world. Yeah, when that guy dan Quinn who's 290 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: now coaching in Washington and they've had some success. They 291 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 1: didn't play well this week the Commanders, but they've had 292 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: some success. And what no is I'm fine. I don't 293 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: need dan Quinn to be my defensive Courteria. So he 294 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: got the guy and so there you go, Matt Ibraflus. 295 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 1: And so the Cowboys build is America's team. The Dallas 296 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: Cowboys America's team, And right now they're America's turnstile, is 297 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 1: what they are? There? Yeah, he was running right by. 298 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: If you're a wide receiver, there's no resistance. If you're 299 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: a running back, congratulations, you're gonna get four yards downfield 300 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: before there's any kind of contact. And Ibrafu's presiding over 301 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: a defense in Dallas that is they're getting cooked like 302 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: they're chicken at Applebe's. It's bad. And it's not just 303 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: the numbers. The eye test not good either. There's no 304 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: bull rush. There's a lot of bull crap from Jerry Jones, 305 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: but there's no bull rush and the unit has about 306 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: as much toughness as a pillow fight at summer camp. Right, 307 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: and some teams worry about the red zone. They're like, 308 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: oh man, the red zone Dallas, it's got a hole 309 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: in the ozone the ozone layer there for the Cowboys, 310 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 1: it's not good. So Jerry giving a vote of conference. 311 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 1: Normally we say, well that's it, that's ebra Flus is done. 312 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: But again that this is not about the football, even 313 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: though the Cowboys defense sucks, it's about saving face for 314 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, and that's why the Cowboys are. That's where 315 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: they are, all right, final thought to Boston, We go 316 00:18:52,720 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: to Boston, we go and forever cheating Astro Red Sox 317 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: third baseman Alex Bregman a notorious scoundrel in baseball history. 318 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: So Alex Bregman pulled the ripcord and is going to 319 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: test free agency. For the second consecutive year. The news 320 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: came out prior to the NLCS game Dodgers and Brewers. 321 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: Bregman is exercising the opt out. He's entering into the 322 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: transfer portal. He opts out of what's left of a 323 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: three year, one hundred and twenty million dollar contract. He'll 324 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: go to market try to get more money. The deal 325 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: included an opt out this year. There's also a player 326 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: option in twenty twenty seven. So quickly, what is your 327 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: reaction to Alex Bregman forever a cheating astro hitting the 328 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: eject button on the Red Sox contract after one season. 329 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: So this was baked in to the contract. It was 330 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: baked into the contract. And stop me if you've heard 331 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: this one before. I'm pretty sure you've heard this one before. 332 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: But Scott Morris and I'm using because I know I used 333 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: the other day, but it applies here. It's a my 334 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: pillow special. We said it when the contract was announced 335 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: for Alex Bregman with the Red Sox. Will say it 336 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: again here that this contract was what's known in the 337 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: industry as a pillow deal. That Bregman sucked at a 338 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: time he couldnot suck. He was not that good at 339 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: the end with the cheating a holes and so he 340 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: didn't get the offer he wanted for that and some 341 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: other reasons. And so the Pillow deal was a soft landing, 342 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: big money, total control by the player. It's a Scott 343 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: Boras special. So Boris gave Bregman that one year window 344 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: to go to Boston, polish the apple, if you will 345 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: flip it for another massive contract, go back to the 346 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: market and see what you can get. And he wasn't 347 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: in Boston. The plant roots. Now there's a chance he 348 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: goes back if the Red Sox meet his asking price, 349 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,479 Speaker 1: but he doesn't care. He'll go anywhere. He's got no 350 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: moral compass, He'll go anywhere. And so he was there 351 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: kind of renting. You know. It's kind of place where 352 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: you rent and you leave the dishes in the sink 353 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: and you just go somewhere else here. I'm done with 354 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: this place. I'm out of here. And Bregman did not 355 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: exactly like the World on fire. The first half. He 356 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: was okay, it was actually pretty good. The first half 357 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: of the baseball season, made the All Star team. The 358 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: second half. Cover your eyes, Cover your eyes bad. A 359 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: swan dive swan dive for Alex Bregman. After the All 360 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: Star Game, his power numbers went down thirty six percent. 361 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: He was a two point fifty hitter, and you're gonna 362 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: pay that guy thirty five forty million dollars a year 363 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: and he couldn't even hit it Finway. One of the 364 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: reasons Bregman went to Boston was because everyone hits at 365 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: Finway Park, right, everyone feast. It's a bandbox. And Bregman 366 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: batted two forty six at Finway and hit six home 367 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: runs all year. What happened to the launching pad? It 368 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: wasn't a launching pad when he was up there, and 369 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: so you know he's stunk at a time he can't stink. 370 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: And then so if you can't thrive there, you're gonna 371 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,719 Speaker 1: thrive anywhere. Does he need trash cans? Does he need 372 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: a buzzard? Does he have to go back to his 373 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: happy place in Houston? And you mix in that's the 374 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: other thing, like we know cheating as Carlos Carea was 375 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: traded back to Houston, Like that's really the only spot 376 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: I guess that in the Blue Jays. Toronto doesn't care. 377 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: They got that cheater springer in their outfield, but Houston 378 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: back to Houston for Bregman, who says, now there's a cloud. 379 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: There is a cloud following him around, a black cloud. 380 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: The cheating thing does not go away. And you know 381 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: that's true. You know that's true. Right, tattooed with baseball cooties. 382 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: He's got the cooties, yep, got them yep. And you 383 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: can hear the boos still every ballpark you go to 384 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: other than Houston, right, you get the booze and all 385 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: that stuff. And so the villain act it doesn't age well. 386 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: And that's the other problem. Bregman's not a pitcher, he's 387 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: a position player, and he's going to be at the 388 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: very end of his athletic prime. He turns thirty two 389 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: next season. Good luck. So you're gonna pay somebody for 390 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: what they have done, not what they're going to do, 391 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: and you're gonna hand that guy a long term contract. 392 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: And he's one of the more hateable people in the 393 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: sport of baseball.

Just Josh writes in from Cincinnati, says 445 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: I'm no doctor Barnes, but I did stay in a 446 00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: Chevy in Pollo how comfy. Was pretty sure the refs 447 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: got into the wrong tray of edibles before kickoff and 448 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: drew blanks for three hours because they sure as Helle 449 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: weren't drawing any flags. 450 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:12,719 Speaker 4: Yummy. 451 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's one of those things, like my theory 452 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: on life when it comes to this kind of stuff, 453 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: like if you're an official and you're paid, your travels 454 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: paid for, you have to stay at a hotel. You've 455 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: got to call penalties if you if you're a doctor, 456 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: you have to find something wrong with someone because you're 457 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: a duck. If you go to a lawyer, do I 458 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: have a case? Well, how does a lawyer get paid? 459 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 1: You've got to of course you've got a case. How 460 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: much of a case do I have, mister lawyer? How 461 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: much can you afford? It's like like the way the world. 462 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: But anyway, all right, let's see, Craig says, Eberflus is cooked. 463 00:26:52,240 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: The Cowboys defense is terrible. Yiche yack. Yeah, they're pretty bad. Uh. 464 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: Craig also says, with all this Chiefs talk, why not 465 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: to go with the conspiracy. They're the reason why the 466 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: overtime rule sucks. The Bills defense lost all those AFC 467 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: Championship games. Sean McDermott, you're on the clock. Hot seat 468 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: has burned up. That's from Craig, That's what he has 469 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: to to say. Late Night Drug Tester writes in from 470 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 1: Parts Unknown, he says, if the NFL has it rigged 471 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: for Kansas City, they have a lot of work to do. 472 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: If the playoffs started now, they are outside looking in. 473 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: So which team should we fade for the rest of 474 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: the season. I will wait for Benny versus the Penny 475 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 1: to find out. Stay tuned. Yeah, if you look at 476 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: your your standings of the NFL will resume tomorrow on 477 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: Thursday with an AFC North matchup the Cincinnati Bungals and 478 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night, But the Chiefs are 479 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: out of the playoffs at this particular moment. However, the 480 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: NFL would be out of a lot of money if 481 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: they don't make the playoffs. And if you look at 482 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: the very boub Jacksonville is always the obvious one. You say, well, 483 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: Jacksonville's you know, they can fall out of the playoffs 484 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: pretty easy because they're Jacksonville. But the Kansas City's number 485 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: eight seven teams make the playoffs. And you've got a 486 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: bunch of divisional games, the Chiefs with the Broncos and 487 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: they play the Chargers again. So there's a lot of 488 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: moving and shake. Let's go to the phones. Let's jump 489 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: Alex up to the top. Here he once a yap 490 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: about Jerry Jones. Alex, what's going on? You are on 491 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: the Ben mal Show on Fox.

It's my second time getting through, but 493 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 3: I'll make it quick, okay, Jerry Jones, I'm talking to you. 494 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 3: You pay people very fast for doing good for one year. 495 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 3: Our linebackers have sucked for a long time as a group, 496 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 3: one or two here or there. Our safetyes have been 497 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 3: butt cheeks for years years. To Troy Williams, you don't like, 498 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 3: bet don't understand, well. 499 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: You look you like. Lorena questioned your term of butt cheeks. 500 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: She brought. She paused when you said the term butt cheeks, Well, 501 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: men generally do enjoy butt cheeks. But the smell might 502 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: not be what he's He might be what he's referred to, 503 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: even not the car. 504 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 3: We want to look at, even not the car we 505 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 3: want to see. But yeah, Garry Jones overpays people, and 506 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 3: he does not get safeties for some reason. Our corners 507 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 3: are you see what they do? We get one here 508 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 3: and there. It's just frustrating. And as far as the uh, 509 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 3: the complaints about the chief referee, referees and all that. Uh, 510 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 3: the rich get richer. That's the way of the world. 511 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 3: Just like to tuck roll back in the day. Hey, 512 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 3: whoever is you know, want to beat the best, you 513 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 3: gotta beat the best decisively. 514 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: There you go, all all, thank you Alex there racuum. 515 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: That's a Is that our huge call. That's a different show. 516 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: That's not our huge call to day. I'm sorry. So 517 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: ghost to ghosts, well, in this case ghost at the hotel. 518 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: It is law been an open secret that there is 519 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: a haunted hotel in Milwaukee. Okay, well we're supposed to 520 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: do if sleazy Cheese actually comes through here, will do 521 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: a mallor meet and greet in Milwaukee, and we can 522 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: stay at the infamous hotel, the Fister Hotel. That's the Yes, 523 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: that's the name of it there in Milwaukee. And I 524 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: bring this up because of the story before Game two 525 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: of the NLCS. Was that ti Oscar Hernandez Hernandez who 526 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: hit a home run in Game two of the World Series, 527 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: he had to switch hotels in Milwaukee. And why did 528 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,479 Speaker 1: he switch hotels? Well, he switched hotels because the belief 529 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: is the hotel the Dodgers were staying at is haunted. 530 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: He claimed that he does not believe in ghosts per se, 531 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: but his wife, my wife does believe in ghosts. She 532 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: had some concerns. So as a result, when h yes, 533 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: oh this is like from the Disneyland Haunted mansie. Right, yeah, 534 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: do you see somebody died like a woman died on 535 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: the Haunted Mars. How lucky is she? How would that 536 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: be lucky? 537 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 6: Okay, they have been asking for their one thousandth ghosts 538 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 6: for years. They have nine hundred and ninety nine happy haunts, 539 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 6: and they invite people every day to be the thousands, 540 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 6: and she finally got to be it. 541 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: So they have to change all of the sounds in there. 542 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: So this hotel in Milwaukee. Now years ago, in another life, 543 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: I actually did stuff with the Dodgers. We were in Milwaukee. 544 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: We did not stay at this hotel because there was 545 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: a player on the Dodgers named Adrian Beltray who was 546 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: so freaked out because they had stayed at that hotel, 547 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: the Fister Hotel in Milwaukee, that he would sleep with 548 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: a baseball bat in case a ghost attacked him at night. 549 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 6: But you can't hit a ghost with a baseball bat. 550 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: You might want to let him know that that. 551 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 6: Is a false sense of security. 552 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: You might want to let a baseball player right now. Yes, see, 553 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: not the brightest ball anyway. He became a Hall of 554 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: Famer and not because of what he did with the 555 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: Dodger anyway. So we stayed at different hotel. But yeah, 556 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: at the hotel, supposedly, the legend is the lights will 557 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: go on and off in the rooms randomly, right, just randomly. 558 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: The doors there, there's there's noises of doors opening and closing. 559 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: You hear sounds of footsteps in the middle of the 560 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: night when there's no one walking around. And so yeah, 561 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: those some of the things that have happened there at 562 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: that hotel. 563 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 6: I'm gonna have to go look it up. 564 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: Yes, it's h P F I S T E R. 565 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: The Fister hotel there in Milwaukee. Apparently his tail went 566 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: to it. He didn't go to another hotel. He went 567 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: to an airbnb. You want to bet that's a nice airbnb. 568 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: You want to bet that's like a penthouse apartment, not 569 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: your random airbnb that you and I would stay in. 570 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: Let's go to William in Kansas City.

He could have played much worse. 586 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: It was more like he was on sleeping pills, so 587 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: somebody drugged him. The way he played in that Super Bowl. 588 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 7: He's made to the top of the RuPaul reject Whift. 589 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 7: What what he is?
