26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: at it again. Long night on the overnight. We'll keep

27
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: it company here for many, many hours as we fly

28
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: the quiet overnight skies here in our lead this hour.

29
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: Now you said, well, it suits basketball. If it's not

30
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: only basketball, it's television. And while the NBA regular season

31
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: does not move the needle, it does not.

32
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna sit here as Oh I'm so excited.

33
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 4: Now it's background noise for me.

34
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: I haven't And now the only time it's not background

35
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: noise is when there's a couple of people yapping on TV.

36
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: I'll take it off mute. I didn't use the mute

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: button as much. By the way, it's amazing they get

38
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: rid of Doris Burke. I don't have to use the

39
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: mute button as much. But anyway, so I was watching

40
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: and it was in the background, you know, fussing around

41
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: getting ready for the show.

42
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: And there's one thing that I rarely miss and that

43
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 4: was back So.

44
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: An old friend and.

45
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 4: A couple couple of days there. We thought we were

46
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 4: gonna lose them.

47
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: They were on life support when Turner said bye bye

48
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: to the NBA, but inside the NBA surviving and they

49
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: made their much anticipated by some debut on the Four

50
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Letter Network out of Connecticut and the the TNT crew

51
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: picking up right where they left off.

52
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 4: No stumble, no drop, none of that.

53
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: If you didn't see any of this, I don't know

54
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: if you were watching it or not, but they were there,

55
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: all the gags, all the jokes, goofing on Charles Barkley

56
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: and his weight loss more than that later.

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: So if he didn't watch it, maybe not after was

58
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 4: it twenty five years?

59
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: Man, that's a long run. I got two for Benny

60
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: versus the penny twenty five year run on TNT.

61
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: The boys started blabbing.

62
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: And going on and on and on on the little

63
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: fledgling cable Channe, which are parentally losing a lot of

64
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: money because they keep laying people off there in Connecticut.

65
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: So a lot of opinions about this.

66
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: I think we'll jump off on that and discuss So

67
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: let us talk about it. The question. Giving your opening impressions,

68
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: there was a lot of doom and gloom. We were

69
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: skeptical as well of the new version of Inside the

70
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: NBA with shaq Ernie Kenny and Charles Buckley, but opening impressions.

71
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: So I've got disco Ball, zz Top and craft Brewery,

72
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and

73
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: we are going to have a gut wrenching good time,

74
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: is what we're going to do. And we're gonna make

75
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: your Babushka's favorite tomato bisk is what we're gonna do.

76
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: All right, So first of all, I am surprised. I

77
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: am it worked, and it was like the favorite pizza

78
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: place that you used to go to and you hadn't

79
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: been there in a long time, like mom and pop shop.

80
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: They sell the pie there pizza Daddy will call it.

81
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: And they moved it to a new strip mall. They

82
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: brought the same oven over the same people that worked

83
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: at the restaurant, so it tasted the same different address,

84
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: but the same great taste. And watching Barkley and of

85
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: all places ESPN, it was like a disco Ball in

86
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: a dungeon. Putting Charles Barkley on ESPN, like do you

87
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: think Bristol, You think Gray Sterile programming, Woke Sports Factory

88
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: ESPN and when Barkley's on their little soul. Of course

89
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: they just outsourced it. So I guess the lesson is,

90
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: if it ain't broke, you don't need to fix it.

91
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: I think we all knew that. But I will be

92
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: Benny Brightside. I will I'm Benny Brideside on this one.

93
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 4: I thought, well, they'll.

94
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: Screw this up. They'll left this up because I work

95
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: in broadcasting. I know how broadcasting people operate. They have

96
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: things up. That's what they do, you know, in most places.

97
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: And so shockingly, they didn't change the recipe. This is

98
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: not new coke. They kept the old coke. In fact,

99
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: they went back and they got the.

100
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: Coke when they had cocaine.

101
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: And that's how good they got it. They got Ernie There,

102
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: Ernie Johnson, e J mister smooth operator, Kenny Smith during

103
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: the pot shack, just tossing out weird one liners. And

104
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: then Charles Barkley, my god, who does look like a

105
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: mini me version of himself. They're Barkley dropping a lot

106
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: of weight since we last saw him on TV. In fact,

107
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: he dropped so much were he dropping more weight than

108
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: ESPN's losing hockey ratings when they put hockey on. But

109
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: My favorite part. They did not duck the snuff a

110
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: luffogus in the room. Now, what is the snuffalufogus in

111
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: the room. We'll go to Sesame Street for this one.

112
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: They opened up the pregame coverage with a vignette of

113
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley's greatest HiT's now. The vignette was of Charles

114
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: Barkley trashing ESPN while on ESPN, which is just self deprecating,

115
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: gold right, just absolutely great. Barkley was on the warpath

116
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: there ripping the car wash treatment. So many people get

117
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: over there, and so let's not underestimate Okay, let's not

118
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: underestimate this. Barkley was ESPN's El Dorado. If you feel me, right,

119
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: you feel me on that the holy grail of the

120
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: white Whale. I don't know how you want to sit

121
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: and the thing that Bristol could never get. And I've

122
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: been I got friends that work over there, and then

123
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: for years they're like, oh man, that's the guy they want,

124
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: right that they couldn't get him and they want it,

125
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: kept offering him a lot of money, turned him down.

126
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: Now they've got him, and it already feels like and

127
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: that's one night in so who knows. It feels like

128
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: they're the the guest house, and inside the NBA is

129
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: like the sovereign nation, surrounded by desk spots, and they're

130
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: the ones setting the rules. Though it's not. It's not

131
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: ESPN absorbing inside the NBA. It's inside the NBA colonizing

132
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: within ESBN. So, hey, good job by Mickey Mouse. Way

133
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: to go. You didn't go goofy. Yeah, so you know,

134
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: don't touch it up, don't add analytical nerds. I don't

135
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: need to see some x W NBA player on there

136
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: hamming it up with Charles Barkley. I'm good on that.

137
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: Don't don't clean it up. There's nothing to clean up here.

138
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: Let shack talk is nonsense. Let Kenny and and and Charles, uh,

139
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, bicker back and forth with what they do,

140
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: and then you know, Ernie will be they're doing his thing,

141
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: and so there you go. Barkley will keep roasting himself

142
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: and that's the secret sauce. It works. We're all good

143
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: and it is still I'm happy to report and must

144
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: see TV and imagine how the people over at Turner

145
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: feel like. I guess they're getting some money out of it,

146
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: so I probably don't feel that bad, But that was

147
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: their show.

148
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 4: They had it.

149
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: That was the top show in all of sports television.

150
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: They had it, and they let it go, although it's

151
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: still kind of there because they're doing it out of

152
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: the same studio. It's yeah, So it's not like Charles

153
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: Barkley actually physically went to ESPN. He did not. They

154
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: got him because the unicorn needed somewhere to go. And

155
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: Barkley was in talks with NBC as some people he

156
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: knows over there, but he chose to.

157
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 4: Keep the band together where he was.

158
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: All right now turning the pageot, but we're not going

159
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: to turn far because speaking of the greatest show on

160
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: sports television these days inside the NBA, A lot of

161
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 1: fun with Charles Barkley and his weight loss, and so

162
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: he saw it and for blind listeners, he's lost a

163
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: lot of weight. Don't know how many pounds he's lost

164
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: his lot.

165
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 4: So how weird was it? Here's the question. How weird was.

166
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: It to see the fun sized we'll call them fun

167
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: sized version of Charles Barkley. So it looked like Charles

168
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: Barkley was trapped in a laundromat and they shrunk him

169
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: in a dryer. It's like they I don't know how

170
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: that happened, but they put him in a dryer and

171
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: he just shrunk. And you know, anytime that's the old joke, right,

172
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: anytime you gain a couple of pounds, Well, well it's

173
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: because my clothes were in the dryer for too long

174
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: that I didn't. It's not the two cheeseburgers I ate

175
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: and the the two chocolate Sundays. No, no, no, it's

176
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: the dryer. It's always the dryer. And so I had

177
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: to do a double take. I thought, well, that's weird.

178
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: Skinny chuck. Nobody wants to. It's like a skinny skirt steak.

179
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: You want to, you want a nice big stake. It's jarred.

180
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: It's like seeing a Golden Retriever with a buzz cut.

181
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: You're like, well, I know that's a olden Retriever, I think,

182
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: but that's you know, something's a little offt there and

183
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: some fun size. It's just weird.

184
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 4: Now it is a double edged sword. As someone who lost.

185
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: A great amount of weight in my life, I can

186
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: relate to what it's like now. I did not do

187
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: what Charles Barkley did. I did it el natural. I

188
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: would have cheated if there had been a way, but

189
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: they didn't exist. And you know when I lost the weight.

190
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: But it's a double edged sword, right, And I know

191
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: this as a and I'll always be a fat person.

192
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm like mid sized. I don't think I'm skinny, but

193
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not skinny. And I'm I'm big, but I

194
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: don't think I'm gigantic like I was. So when fat

195
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: people lose weight, everyone, I'll tell you what happens because

196
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: I know I've lived it. That's how I relate when

197
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: you lose weight. Here's what you get and people send

198
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: you texts everything. Okay, you people call it you you're sick.

199
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: Ain't going on? You want to talk about? You know,

200
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: it's human nature, right. You look at people like that,

201
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: you say, well, what's going on here? I wonder if

202
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: he's got some kind of illness? Look like the mini

203
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: me version of himself. There. He even had Shaq calling

204
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley a sex symbol, which of course a great

205
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: comedy goal there. Now, based on his own endorsement deal

206
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: Charles who promoted the fact that he lost weight, not

207
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: l natural with a needle, it's fair to say Charles

208
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: Barkley has gotten more weight loss shots than Barry Bond's

209
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: got the clear and the cream back in the day.

210
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: We'll see how this goes. And Barkley's he's a yo

211
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: yo up and down most of us, sorry, up and down,

212
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: up and down. You lose the weight, you gain the weight,

213
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: you lose the weight, you gain the weight. There you

214
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 1: go and eventually you lose all the weight. Eventually it

215
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: all goes away.

216
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 4: But being fat, just fat people are funny.

217
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: Being fat was part of the comedy rhythm cracking jokes.

218
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: You're just funnier when you've got a big fat belly

219
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: and you just are and skinny. Chuck feels off brand.

220
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: He's still funny and on it broke his glasses. That

221
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: was kind of funny. But it's kind of like trimming

222
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: the synchronized foot long beards of zz Top right if

223
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, you know, they imagine what they look like there,

224
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: so I know they were old, but you just go

225
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: with the reference so zz Top and they're still the

226
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: same zz Top, but it just doesn't look right right,

227
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: you know. If they're clean shaven, it's like, well, what

228
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: happened to the foot long and the beards of the

229
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: red beards? I don't understand where they go, I want

230
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: them back, all right, final fought, So I would be

231
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: remiss if I did not mention the thing that was

232
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: around the broadcast and I had the mute button going,

233
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: but I did have it on in the background. They

234
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: had a doubleheader, the Cadavers and the Knickerbockers from Midtown

235
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: Manhattan just above Penn Station there. They had that at

236
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: the Mecca. I didn't really care much for that game.

237
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: And then they had the main event, as they were

238
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: billing it, the two young superstars of pro bouncy ball

239
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: until eventually the NBA decides they want to ship one

240
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: of them to the Lakers in orchestrated trade. But until

241
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: then they're in Texas. One in San Antonio. One in Dallas.

242
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: You had Victor Wemby, Niyamma Wemby, the Parisian prodigy, who

243
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: put it down. Are you not entertained by Wemby forty points,

244
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: fifteen rebounds and no turnovers. I'm told that's good. I'm

245
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: told sources not close to the situation told me that's good.

246
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: Forty points, fifteen rebounds, no turnover. San Antonio gets a

247
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: blowout win. The seven foot four Wemby, who looks like

248
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: he's about nine feet tall. Was die no mte for

249
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: this burst, But that's not the story. The story is

250
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: the other player who made their much bally Hood debut,

251
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: good word bally Hood, they're much Ballyhood debut. That was

252
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: the number one overall fig of the twenty twenty five draft,

253
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: playing for the Dallas basketball team. So question, give me

254
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Cooper Flag's regular season NBA debut with

255
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: the mav Rex. So we know it was the great

256
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: Will Rogers that taught us you never get a second

257
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: chance to make a first impression. And holy smokers, that

258
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: was quite the introduction for Cooper Flag. He came out

259
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: looking like he had just walked out of a nice

260
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: local craft brewery called Frosty Stumblebum. That was a stumble bumb.

261
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: It's not the flag is up. The flag was not up. No, no, no,

262
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: the flag is down. The kid from Maine gave birth

263
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: in the first half. Congratulations. I know that was possible.

264
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: It is you know a couple of years ago was possible.

265
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: But Cooper Flag came out there and gave birth to

266
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: a goose egg. Yeah yeah, not a single point. You

267
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: and I scored as many points as Cooper Flag the

268
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: number wha overall in the twenty twenty five draft. He

269
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: pitched a shutout like a Dodger starter against the Brewers. Now,

270
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: if this were a one man Broadway show, one man

271
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: Broadway show, it would have been canceled by the intermission. Now,

272
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: he did score some points in the second half, the game,

273
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: going lopsided in the second half, ended up Cooper Flag

274
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: four of thirteen, which again didn't play in the NBA.

275
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that's great. Ten points, a lot of

276
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: them coming once the Spurs had opened things up. Ten rebounds,

277
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: how many of those were off his own misshots?

278
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 4: Zero assists.

279
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: Despite all the hype about him being a jumbo sized

280
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: point guard and with Kyrie Irving not playing, you had

281
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: him listed Cooper Flag as the point guard. And let's

282
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: not forget unless my malord math is off. Congratulations to

283
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag. You had a minus twenty nine plus minus,

284
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: which was the worst of any Dallas player. So there

285
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: you go. When he was out there, Dallas got apps

286
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: a bleeping Loutley steamroll.

287
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 4: They just got steamrolled here.

288
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: So the marquee lights burned out, and I'm sure the

289
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: fanboys and the star worshippers and the media are already

290
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: making excuses. It's not his fault, it's somebody else's fault.

291
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: Blah blah blom blam blom blum blom blah bloh, just

292
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,240

Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from Pittsburgh, PA in the

330
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: game of pig Skin Squares, not Hollywood Squares, not Hollywood Squares,

331
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: but we're playing pigskin Squares if you look at the

332
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: card this weekend which begins later on on Thursday in.

333
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 4: The Hood in Inglewood and up to no good.

334
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: The Chargers hosting the Minnesota Vikings just down the road

335
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: from where we broadcast from. And so Sunday night, though,

336
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 1: is the center Square in week eight, You've got Aaron

337
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: Rodgers wrangling the cheeseheads the prize some cheese curds.

338
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 4: So Rogers chimed in on this.

339
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: He was asked about going against his franchise, the franchise

340
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: that he's most known for it and forever will be

341
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: known for playing in Wisconsin. And what did he say? Well,

342
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said that facing the Packers

343
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: this weekend, he said, is quote not a revenge game

344
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: for me. Rogers stated Green Bay drafted Rogers when he

345
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: famously if you're old enough to remember the twenty five draft,

346
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: free fall in in free fall in ended up at

347
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: number twenty four, was supposed to be a top five

348
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, ended up all the way down

349
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: at number twenty four, and he spent the first eighteen

350
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: I'm told that's a long time, eighteen years of his

351
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: career in the thousand Tundra, living in the suburbs of Appleton, Wisconsin.

352
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: Rogers says that he doesn't have any animosity, No animosity

353
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: towards the organization. He said he had a great relationship

354
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: with a lot of people with the Packers.

355
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: So it's all we'll combined it all together. It's good

356
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 4: jumping off point.

357
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, why is Aaron Rodgers pretending?

358
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 4: Why is he pretending they playing Green Bay is.

359
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: Just another game, that it's not a revenge game, it's

360
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: just a random game. And Week eight in the NFL.

361
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: So my thoughts on this.

362
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: I've got punch bowl, tax deductible and Hunted Cafe, and

363
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things to get and

364
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: we'll climb or at the very bottom of the ladder,

365
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: the corporate ladder here at Fox Sports Radio doing the

366
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: overnight show at the very bottom. But we hope to

367
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: catch our lucky star. So a Aaron Rodgers can say

368
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: whatever whatever he wants. Obviously he did and he does

369
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: all the time. But this particular quote, this particular line

370
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: from Aaron Rodgers, I put it into the basket of

371
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: gridiron kabuki.

372
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 4: It's gridiron kobookie. Mister Rogers neighborhood.

373
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: Now, he spent nearly two decades, as we mentioned, almost

374
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: two decades in Green Bay, Wisconsin, shoveling snow, will paying

375
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: people to shovel snow for him. And then he got

376
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: rudely kicked out, shoved out the door, and now he's

377
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: back squaring up against the Green and Gold. And this

378
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: is professional wrestling level storyline stuff. Now. The only thing

379
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: that would have been better if it had been back

380
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field. You can't get everything you want now, Rogers,

381
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: I know from years of doing talk radio. In fact,

382
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: I'm so old. We used to have Rogers on when

383
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: he was playing a Cal on Saturdays. I did a

384
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: college football I don't need you to touch up my work.

385
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: But the point is Rogers would come on when he

386
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: played at Cal a couple times. I guess he wasn't

387
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: like a do sh at that point. I don't know.

388
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: He was fine whatever, typical meathead athlete had not much

389
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: to say. But we put him on because we had to.

390
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 4: But Rogers is the king of pretending that he's.

391
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: Above it all. Right, he's above it all. No animosity. Now,

392
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: what do we know about Rogers? Whether you like him,

393
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of very polarizing guy. Some people love

394
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: him a lot. There's other people that think he's the

395
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: devil incarnate I like him as a talk show host.

396
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: Good for my job. But what we know about Aaron

397
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: Rodgers is that he is the king of pretending that

398
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: he's above it all. No animosity, right. The man loves

399
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: pushing buttons. Push a button here, push a button there.

400
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: He loves pushing buttons more than Patrick Mahomes loves waterburger. Okay,

401
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: that's a lot of love. Aaron Rodgers wrote the book

402
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: on passive aggressive behavior. He did It's an Idiot's Guide

403
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: to Passive aggressive Behavior. By downplaying this matchup Rogers is

404
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: he's stirring the pot.

405
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 4: And then he's spitting a giant, thick.

406
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: Green loogie right in the NFL's marketing punch bowl.

407
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 4: I mean, it's the NFL's focused on this.

408
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a big fing deal on the

409
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: NBC crews got it on Sunday night, and he's out

410
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: there acting like he's two zen.

411
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: I don't believe in revenge, but this is the same guy.

412
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: Who has been carrying around grudges like people carry luggage

413
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: to the airport, and by downplaying it, he's giving himself

414
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: Also the old Daily double. Now the Daily double is

415
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: he's effing over the marketing people. Because the idea is, Okay,

416
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: we'll get a good quote from Rogers talking about how

417
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: he really wants to stick it to the Packers. They'll

418
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: put that in the open and they'll toss to Tarrico

419
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: and Collinsworth on the Sunday night broadcast. So he downplays it,

420
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: which hurts the marketing. He also gives himself the other

421
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: part of the daily double. He gives himself the built

422
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: in excuse if the Steelers end up getting smoked on

423
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: Sunday Night, he'll say, ah, you know, listen, it doesn't matter.

424
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: It's just a regular season game. It's just another game.

425
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: So it's a total soft landing. Now. The only thing

426
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: I was saying about this when I was making a

427
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: long trip into the studio here, The only thing that

428
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers could say to lead me to believe that

429
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: he does not does.

430
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 4: Not want to get a pound of cheese.

431
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: Revenge from the Green Bay Packers is that he's a

432
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: lizard person. Now, if he's a lizard person, okay, there's

433
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: no emotion. Lizard people don't have emotion. I've read books

434
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: about lizard people. They don't have emotion. I don't want

435
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: to go all George Norrey coast to coast on you.

436
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: But there's no emotion. It's not personal.

437
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 4: Otherwise it's always personal.

438
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: It just is now. I never played in the NFL, however,

439
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: I have worked at I've worked here a long time.

440
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: But before I worked here, I bounced around the radio

441
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: dial as you used to do back in the day.

442
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: And whenever I changed radio jobs, I always want to

443
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: stick the dagger right in the heart of the people

444
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: I used to work for. Always. That's how I'm wired.

445
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: Most people are wired that way as well. And you

446
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: know deep down that Rogers would love nothing more than

447
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: to go out there on Sunday night thro four touchdowns

448
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: so for two hundred and ninety yards and then stare

449
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: a hole through Matt Lafleur and the Green Bay Packer

450
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: coaching staff right there in the silence. Now, if you

451
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: don't believe me, just ask his imaginary wife, Britney, because

452
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure that Britney Rogers, his fake wife, will tell

453
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: you all about that. I'm sure she's a lovely lady,

454
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: and she's completely real, and she just has somehow, in

455
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: the plugged in world, been able to hide. Maybe she

456
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: lives like the unibomber and in shack in Montana. All right,

457
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: turning the page, we now go to Jersey. See what

458
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: is the rule of show bad football makes good talk radio?

459
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: So following the verbal butcher shop that the Jets owner

460
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: opened up, put his quarterback in the verbal butcher shop.

461
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: The quarterback Justin Fields responded, responded to the criticism from

462
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: Woody Johnson and what did he say?

463
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 4: What did the man say? Well, I will tell you.

464
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: I guess we don't have an editing department anymore that

465
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: puts any sound in but I will just I'll tell

466
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: you what he said, so you don't have to worry

467
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: about it if you. Field said, the money quote was,

468
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't really have a relationship with Woody Johnson. He

469
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: did look a little out of sorts Justin Fields while

470
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: he was talking to the media, But the money quote was,

471
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: I don't really have a relationship with Woody Johnson. So

472
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: the question the Jets quarterback who will most likely be

473
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: a backup? Although more on that in a minute. Justin

474
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: Field saying that he doesn't really have any kind of

475
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: relationship with the Jets owner Woody Johnson, does I guess

476
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: what does that signal to you? That'd be the way

477
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: we'll frame it.

478
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 4: What does that signal to you?

479
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: So I will go first because I'm sitting in front

480
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: of a microphone, this DIA, I'm sitting front of this,

481
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna talk first. Justin Fields has relationship problems.

482
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: He does.

483
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 4: This isn't the Bachelor.

484
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: It's not, although you wouldn't know it from following the Jets.

485
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: It's the NFL. I thought, you don't need to grab

486
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: dinner with the owner. You need to score touchdowns. I

487
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: have never met the president of the company that I

488
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: work for. Fox Sports Radio is a partnership with iHeart Media.

489
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: I've never met the big boss at iHeart. I don't

490
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: know who that is.

491
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 4: If they walk in the room, I wouldn't know what

492
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 4: they look like.

493
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: But I have a job to do, and I do

494
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: the job, and I don't worry about that. And of

495
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: course I don't usually get ripped by the person that

496
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: runs the company because they have no idea who I am,

497
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: so they wouldn't rip me. But Fields doesn't really have

498
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: a relationship with Woody Johnson. He also does not have

499
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: a relationship with the Forward Pass. That's a bigger problem, right.

500
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: He also has been ghosting. I don't know why he's

501
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: doing this for some reason, he's been ghosting the end zone.

502
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't recommend that. So if the

503
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: Jets want to change quarterback coaches, and why not they

504
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: do that every other year, may we recommend doctor Phil?

505
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: And he gave up his daytime talk show a while back,

506
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: so why not doctor Phil. Woody Johnson doesn't want to

507
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: talk to Justin Fields because watching Justin Field's play professional

508
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: football for the owner of the Jets is like it's

509
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: like talking to a brick wall. There is no response,

510
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: there is no response. It's just pain. It's just absolute pain.

511
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: And the Jets to think that these morons gave a

512
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: guy who's a two time loser thirty million dollars guaranteed,

513
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars guaranteed for Justin Fields, who proved he

514
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: couldn't play in Chicago and then confirmed he couldn't play

515
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, and the Jets said, well, we know you

516
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: can't play, so we'll bring in Why not? That is

517
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: not a contract. The thirty million dollars is not a contract.

518
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: You know what that is? That is a tax deductible

519
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: charity donation inside a helmet. You fill a helmet with money, Okay,

520
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: here's the donation. Let me contact my bean counter and

521
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: I'll see we can get that as a rite off

522
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: there on your taxis Justin Fields needs to stop worrying

523
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: about relationships and all that stuff and just complete some

524
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: passes and I'll guarantee it you complete some passes. I

525
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: don't think he can do. But if you complete some passes,

526
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the owner of the Jets is

527
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: going to be like, okay, let's go have lunch. I'll

528
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: take you out on a helicopter out to the Hamptons.

529
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: And so it's the NFL is not couple's therapy. We

530
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: don't need to worry about that. It's not couple's therapy.

531
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: All right. Now, last word, we stay with the Jets.

532
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: We do the shuffle. Are you ready to do the shuffle?

533
00:29:58,840 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: We got to do the shuffle.

534
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 4: That'd be the quarterback shuffle question. The coach.

535
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: I say that loosely because he doesn't seem to know

536
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: what he's doing. Aaron Glenn made some comments. He was

537
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: asked about the quarterback situation. Who is going to start

538
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback? And did he say Justin Fields? Did he

539
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: say Tyrod Taylor or none of the evolve let's go

540
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 1: to the audio tape. She's your quarterback. We will have

541
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback on Sunday. I will tell you that. Sorry,

542
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to give them a competitive advantage when

543
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: I have that opportunity, But we would have a quarterback.

544
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: Did you Your list was long? So yeah, day to day?

545
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, what is he dealing with He's dealing with

546
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: a need that's something he had before.

547
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: So just you know who you're starting quarterback is going

548
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: to be. You're just not announcing it. So it isn't

549
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: like this week as a competition where you're going to

550
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: have I know, to star in quarters.

551
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 4: Okay, so we'd like to let you know they will

552
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 4: have a quarterback.

553
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: So that's good.

554
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 4: They're going to have a quarterback, all right, So eron Glyn,

555
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 4: you just heard it right there.

556
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: He will not name a quarterback for the Jets between

557
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor because in his own words there,

558
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to give the Bengals a competitive advantage.

559
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: So how does that one taste? How does that taste?

560
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 4: So it tastes to me.

561
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: It's a little moldy and a little mil dewey, little moldy,

562
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: little mill Dewey. That's what it tastes like here. So

563
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn the worst coach in football. Not my opinion,

564
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: it's a fact. He's the only one that's coach in

565
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. Aaron Glenn thinks that he's playing with dungeons

566
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: and dragons or something like that with the Bengals, and

567
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: it's like top secret. He's got someone I'm not sure

568
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: who the person is, but they walk behind him and

569
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: they've got a briefcase. And in the briefcase are the

570
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: nuclear codes. And so you can't announce what's going on

571
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: because you've got the nuclear codes and you want to

572
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: give those away, and you want to know you have

573
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: the nuclear codes. And so picking between Justin Fields and

574
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor what kind of that?

575
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: Do you know what kind of choice that is?

576
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: That is like going through the Haunted Cafe for Halloween

577
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: dinner and you're having a Witch's dinner and you're choosing

578
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: between cockroaches or rats. Do I want the vermin or

579
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: do I want the cockerroach? What do I want to have?

580
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: And good luck either way? You are stuck with something

581
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: nasty capital and nast ate. So the Jets are zero

582
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: and seven? Is it true that Cincinnati could hand over,

583
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: could hand over a three ring binder with their entire playbook,

584
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: could send a text message with all the audibles they

585
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: will use in the game this weekend, and they could

586
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: send them a laminated sheet, the same sheet that Joe

587
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: Flacco will have on his wristband this weekend, and the

588
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: Jets would still f it up. They'd still ship over

589
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: their shoelaces at the thirty five yard line. This is

590
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: classic bad team fear, and it's why I continue to

591
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: preach from the bully pulpit.

592
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 4: Bad teams make good talk radio.

593
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: And when you don't have a real advantage, like Aaron Glenn,

594
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: you are in make believe.

595
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 4: You're pretending.

596
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: You're pretending every man, woman and child knows that Tyrod

597
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: Taylor is going to start at quarterback this weekend. It's

598
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: just that Aaron Glenn doesn't want to deal with the

599
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: fallout on that now. I would love for Justin Field's

600
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: love for him to start on Sunday because he's going

601
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: to get destroyed. That'll make for another good monologue on

602
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: Sunday night into Monday.

603
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler

604
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

605
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: Here we go, here we go, Here we go.

606
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 2: How about that to the third degree.

607
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is one big vent. Gets grilled, go belover.

608
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 6: NFL Executive vice president Troy Vincent said on Saturday that

609
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 6: with on site kicks having less than five percent recovery

610
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 6: rate and maybe time to reconsider alternatives to the onside kick, Ben,

611
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 6: do you think the NFL needs an alternative?

612
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 2: Yes?

613
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: Yes, you want to encourage comebacks, You want to have

614
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: an audience. Keep watching a game, and you know as

615
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: a fan, when a team falls behind and they have

616
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: to get an on sidekick or two on sidekicks, there's

617
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: no mathematical way that's going to work. So you need

618
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: to come up with somebody else. Now, they're so afraid

619
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: of people getting hurt. I get it, because they don't

620
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: get sued. So how about like a fourth and twenty

621
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: five or something like that one play to try to

622
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: get a first down, something along those lines, because what

623
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: the kickoff? Things that waste the time.

624
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 6: Next, DeMarcus Cousins had a hot take ahead of the

625
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 6: NBA's opening Nike He said that he believes Kevin Durant

626
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 6: can win the MVP at thirty seven years old, because

627
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 6: the Rockets will win enough game to put him in

628
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 6: the conversation. Ben thumbs up or thumbs down.

629
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: That all right, listen, DeMarcus, you're better at basketball than me,

630
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: but your hot takes are terrible. This is like one

631
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: of the worst takes I've ever There's no chance Kevin

632
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: Gurant's going to win an MVP award. He's not even

633
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: the best player on the Rockets. The math on that

634
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: going to work, It's ridiculous. We're in the age of

635
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: the unexpected MVP. Although your guy Luca Coop, you know

636
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna put up monster numbers, so I would say

637
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: he's I'd bet on him before he was next.

638
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 6: Speaking of hot takes, our very own colleague, Colin Cowhard,

639
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 6: made headlines with a take of his own.

640
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 7: This week.

641
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 6: He predicted the Orlando Magic will make it to the

642
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 6: NBA Finals. Ben, what do you think the ceiling is

643
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 6: for the Magic?

644
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: They'll go far in the playoffs, but they're not going

645
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals unless unless I'm missing something here,

646
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,959
Speaker 1: they'll they can get to the semi finals.

647
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 4: How do we do, coope, how'd we do?

648
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: How'd we do we? I walk past, I pass, I pass.

649
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: I like their uniforms, good uniforms, though for their magic.

650
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 1: It's now time for time for Harry Harry Honey, wait

651
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: ask Twitter said, this is your questions on Twitter.

652
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 4: Now, Ben, it is to ask manage your question.

653
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: Is our answers for the rest of the hour. Waste not,

654
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: want not.

655
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 4: It's all you need in your life at this moment.

656
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: Over to the Kopa loop for the reading of the questions.

657
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 6: All right, Ben, We're gonna start off with a question

658
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 6: from Georgia Boy. I Georgia boy, what is the worst

659
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 6: Halloween candy? E?

660
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: See? Well, the worst was always when there were people

661
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: give like candy apples, So I don't know if that counts.

662
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: I always like, well, I don't want that, I want

663
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: I want candy. I guess Almond Joy has always been

664
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: the worst. That's always you always judge it by what's

665
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: left at the bottom of the bag. It's always Almond Joy.

666
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: That's always the last one left. There's like seven or

667
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: eight Almond Joys and everything else is gone.

668
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 4: Lorena, Oh, that's a hard one.

669
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 8: But do you remember those old fashioned type candies that

670
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 8: almost taste like peanut butter.

671
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 9: They come in the orange and black wrappers, and they're

672
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 9: like super old.

673
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: What do I know what you're talking about? Yeah, I'm

674
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to go find them.

675
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 9: But those are my least favorite. Like I get those

676
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 9: and I just throw them in the trash.

677
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: I don't even want to write the trash. Okay, I'll

678
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: bring them here and give them to people eat them.

679
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 7: But not you know, Coop, I'm enjoyer mounds. They're both terrible.

680
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 9: Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't.

681
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: Most of the time you don't. Yes, all right, what's next?

682
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 7: The King Rory would like to know?

683
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: Hi, Rory, have you ever.

684
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 7: Gone to the bathroom out in the wild and an

685
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 7: outhouse does not count?

686
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: Uh? We're talking two or one here? Now? Ones are

687
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: the two's? What are we talking about here?

688
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 7: She said?

689
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: Either okay, yeah, Well of course I driving back. I've

690
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: made some long you know on the West coast. You

691
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: drive driven back from Sacramentos to La San Francisco to

692
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: La Vegas to La Sometimes is at night. The thing

693
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: that sucks is when you go to you want to

694
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom.

695
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 4: Have you ever had this happen?

696
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: You got to go, you make it in time to

697
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: the restaurant and then they have a code to get

698
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: to the bathroom. Oh yeah, So what I do is

699
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: I just go outside? And I said, well, I tried.

700
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: I tried to be the you know you didn't so

701
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: I got to go outside and take your business. Yeah,

702
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: but I'll even pull over whatever on side of the road.

703
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: And Lorena, do you ugh?

704
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 8: This is actually one of my horror stories from my childhood.

705
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 8: Really had to go to the bathroom. We were house

706
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 8: shopping up in Salem with my mom and we missed

707
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 8: the exit to the hotel and I really had to go.

708
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 9: I'm holding my new unicorn in my lap. I'm crying.

709
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 9: I'm like, I have to pay. My Mom's like, if

710
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 9: you pay in my car, Lorena, I swear to goodness.

711
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 8: So we pulled over underneath the bridge on the side

712
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 8: of the freeway on the five in Salem, Oregon, and

713
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 8: I had to squat under said bridge.

714
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 7: It was horrible, absolutely horrible.

715
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: Every time, you won't buy that bridge after though, you

716
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: always remember.

717
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 9: Right, yeah, I was coding and that pink unicorn.

718
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 1: Uh, alright, what about you, coop.

719
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 6: I have I've had to do uh the number two once.

720
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 6: When I was a kid, I was like fishing out

721
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 6: in like the forest, like Grandpa.

722
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 7: It was terrible. It scarred me from life never again.

723
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 9: Doing a number two in the wilderness is diabolical.

724
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: That's the issue with the two is not the two itself.

725
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 1: It's what happens after the two right problem. That's the issue.

726
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: Because there's no way to know.

727
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 4: It was, no way to properly clean up the you

728
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 4: know it was all all right?

729
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: What is next? Here to ask? Ben? Your questions are

730
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: answers for the rest of the hour. If you like this,

731
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: we do it every week. If you don't like it,

732
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: we only do it once a weeks. For who they

733
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: all cares?

734
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 4: What's next?

735
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 6: Donkey Sausage would like, Hi, Donkey, I have you ever

736
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 6: totaled the car?

737
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: No, and I've come.

738
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 4: I've had many accidents.

739
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: I've usually sandwich accidents where I the traffic stops all

740
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'll bump into a couple of times

741
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: I've stopped and then I get hit from behind and

742
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: hit the car in front of me. But I've never

743
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: totaled the car. It's always just cost thousands of dollars

744
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: to fix.

745
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 4: What about you, Lorena, Nope, never totals.

746
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: I did see a car eat. I saw Carl Roage

747
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: last night that looked like it should be total for

748
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: some reason, but they like to did you know what

749
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: car I'm talking about? You see that?

750
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 9: Yeah, the one that's out there that's like missing half

751
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 9: of its bumper.

752
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it's very odd. It looks like it came

753
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 4: from a junkyard.

754
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: What about you, Coop, I have not no. Okay, what's next?

755
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: It's ask bed your question our answers.

756
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 7: All right, uh, Alf the alien opiner high.

757
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 2: Alf.

758
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 7: You would like to know do you fold clothes right

759
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 7: out of the dryer or does it go right back

760
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 7: in the basket.

761
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not a lot of folding that goes on it.

762
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: There's a big sofa thing we throw it on at first,

763
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: and then eventually it gets transferred to where it needs

764
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: to go. But yeah, it's not getting folded right away.

765
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: You know.

766
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 9: I try to be really good about it.

767
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 8: I don't have a lot of space to like store it,

768
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 8: so I got up pretty much folded and put away.

769
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 9: But the pile on my bed does build up every

770
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 9: now and then.

771
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, there's a there's a mountain of clothes at

772
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: our house. It's uh, you know, my wife and I

773
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: we we it's like bigger than the biggest mountain.
