68
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: this hour though from Northern Ohio. A chamber of commerce.

69
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: Kind of weather pattern here lately in Northern Ohio. Unless

70
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: it's not but another new coach in the NFL, Another

71
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: one bites the dust, Another one bites the dust. Now,

72
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: if you have not heard yet, we've learned that the

73
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: Browns have hired former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Mounkin the Monkman,

74
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: to be their next head coach. Now Monkin gets a

75
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: five year deal.

76
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: I just love these.

77
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: They hand these things out like they're from a vending machine.

78
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: You get a five year deal, you get a five

79
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: year deal. You get a five year deal. So Monke

80
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: in an overnight success. He turned sixty. Next week on

81
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: the NBA trade deadline, he'll be sixty years old, so

82
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: happy early birthday. He replaces Kevin Stefanski, who immediately became

83
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Stefanski was fired

84
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: back in early January fifth earlier this month, and he

85
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: spent six years losing, mostly with the Cleveland football team.

86
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: So the if you look at the last thirty four

87
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: games they've played, they've lost twenty six of the last

88
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: thirty four games since they It was a fluke and

89
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: they made the.

90
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: Playoffs in twenty twenty three, but they've.

91
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Lost twenty six of their last thirty four games since

92
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: that point. So Monkin the latest to wear the Dunce cap.

93
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: You immediately go to the Browns and they give you

94
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: all the brown shirts and all that, and the only

95
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: hat they have for the coach is the Dunce cap.

96
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: So that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss

97
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: the question, what is your knee jerk reaction knee jerk

98
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 1: reaction to Todd Mounkin taking over as the Browns head coach.

99
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: So my views on this, I've got Scholastic art and writing,

100
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: sunshine and loading doc and we'll put all of these

101
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: things together and we are going to have a fruit

102
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: roll up, glow up, show up, and blow up is

103
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. Just like the Browns coach, they

104
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: glow up, they say how great they are, they put

105
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: glow on them, and then they show up and then

106
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: they blow up when they coach the Browns. So, first

107
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: of all, this is yet again another one of those

108
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: things where we sit at the bully pulpit.

109
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: And I have no skin in the game.

110
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: You know, we have a group of loyal members of

111
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: the Malad militia that happened to be in the Cleveland

112
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: area and all that, and the big fans and we

113
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: love them all, and people all over Ohio, the sovereign nation

114
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: of Ohio. And it's another what were they thinking?

115
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 2: Higher?

116
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: Now we'll get the update from Dick and Date next hour.

117
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: Are Brown's insider boots on the ground from Ohio, the

118
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: great Cleveland Brown The men suck when it comes to

119
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: the right. So my word for this, you know, what's

120
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: your knees you reaction, But.

121
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: My word is demoralizing. If you want to change that out.

122
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: Uninspiring would be another word.

123
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: You could use the word ditchwater because it's as dull

124
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: as ditchwater, and it's also appropriate for the franchise. It's poetic.

125
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: You know, some monks, I don't know much about them,

126
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: but from what I understand, some monks take a vow

127
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: of silence. You've heard about that. I'm like a monk

128
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm taking a valve of silence. They will go for

129
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: years without speaking, and they do it as a form

130
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: of discipline, and they focus on humility and things like that,

131
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: and it's a noble thing, right the.

132
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: Buddhist monks or whatever, and it's.

133
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: Something that a lot of us would never think about doing,

134
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: but they do it, and good for them. And so

135
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: the Browns have taken a vow. It's appropriate they hire

136
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: this guy because they've taken their own vow, not silence.

137
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: Their vow is losing all caps, losing right for decades,

138
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: and that is a discipline of hoarding draft picks and failing.

139
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: With almost all of them. It is a.

140
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: Spiritual journey into a very dark place. And Todd Monkin

141
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: can just sit there on the sidelines and meditate and

142
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: twiddle his thumbs while the team stumbles and bumbles around

143
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: the field.

144
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: Because that's what happens.

145
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: So congratulations to Todd. You just won the coaching lottery.

146
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: It's a no show job. You don't have to do

147
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,280

00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: I remember they had that big essay contest. So you've

155
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: got Todd Munkin, who's a middling coach, apparently a great

156
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: essay writer.

157
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: Good for him.

158
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: Never been a head coach, been a coach. You realize

159
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: he started as an assistant. One of his early jobs

160
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: was that Notre Dame with Lou Holtz in the eighties,

161
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: and since like nineteen eighty nine, nineteen ninety nobody thought, hey,

162
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: this guy ought to be a good head coach. Let's

163
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: give him a shot in the NFL. So success as

164
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: a coordinator, we know this does not does not translate

165
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: to the big chair, right, It doesn't always, sometimes it does.

166
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: We've seen it thousands of times. You got to put

167
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: a lot of coordinators in there, and thousands maybe one

168
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: hits for every Sean McVay you get Todd Bows or

169
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: any Jets coach the last thirty years, right, one of

170
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: those guys. So Mounkin has been described as blunt, gruff,

171
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: and abrasive, which are all great qualities if you're a

172
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: winning coach.

173
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: When you're a losing coach.

174
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the same guy also who reportedly called the

175
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: Browns a quote total mess privately back in twenty nineteen,

176
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: which was not wrong, which was not wrong. In twenty nineteen,

177
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: the Browns were a total mess. It was right then,

178
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: and it's right now, and he's the face of a

179
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: total mess. Congratulations, you have won the prize. It's not

180
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: a boobie prize to get paid a lot of money.

181
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't move the conversation. It's a starter job for

182
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: a veteran assistant coach. And it's more of the same.

183
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: The Monkin era is starting in the general reaction has

184
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: been a thud. That's been the reaction all right now. Secondly,

185
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: with the monk Man taking over in Cleveland, let's put

186
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: a number on it.

187
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: Put a number on it.

188
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,479
Speaker 1: What are the chances that Todd Monkin turns the Browns

189
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: into a consistent playoff team. We're not even gonna talk

190
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: about the super Bowl. That ain't happening. We'll all be

191
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: dead and they still won't be to the super Bowl.

192
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: But what are the chances that Todd Monkin can turn

193
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: the Browns into a consistent playoff team? So I'm gonna

194
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: be Benny Bright's out here. I'm not gonna rain on

195
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: anyone's parade. That's not how we do things here. But

196
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: as the judge, jury, and executioner of bad coaching hires

197
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: and professional sports, I'm gonna set the Malard of.

198
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: Sports book odds.

199
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: They're not zero, they're the Mallard of sports book odds

200
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: on Todd Monkin turning the Cleveland Browns into a consistent

201
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: playoff contender, playoff team like a wild card weekend type

202
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: team US ten thousand, that means under one percent, under

203
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: one percent chance. That is akin to Hits Earth Hits

204
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: Earth Aliens show up to Dodger Stadium and are pitching

205
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers that night from somewhere outside the Milky Way.

206
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: This is like betting on sunshine on a Lake effect

207
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: blizzard that in the middle of a Lake effect blizzard

208
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna see sunshine. Todd Munkin did such a bang

209
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: up job in Baltimore that he was on the staff

210
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: that failed so miserably, how miserably that John Harbaugh is

211
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: now coaching another NFL team, And we mentioned that Munkett

212
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: already coached in Cleveland and they underachieved the.

213
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 2: Year that he was there, so he's back for more.

214
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: And if you follow the available information, you follow the clues.

215
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: None of them yell visionary. There is one word that

216
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: would sum up the Todd munkin Higher in Cleveland, and

217
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: that word is Jack.

218
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: Now it's not my grandpa Jack. He's not around anymore.

219
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: It's just a coach, a jack just to coach a

220
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: seat filler. It's like you used to be these things

221
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: in Hollywood called award shows, the Academy awards, and if

222
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: you get up to take a take a whiz, somebody

223
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: sits in your seat and all that stuff. You know,

224
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: you just got a.

225
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: Fill of seat. And that's it.

226
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 3: You know.

227
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: Again, great for him, you know, overnight success. He's almost

228
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: sixty two decades in two decades in the NFL, coached

229
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: as a head coach in college, and nobody at any point.

230
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 2: In the NFL said, and this is this is the guy.

231
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: This is it. We got to get this guy. And

232
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: so that again, that tells you a lot.

233
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: Now, the NFL, there's a lot of dumb people that

234
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: work for the NFL. So it's possible they're all wrong.

235
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: That everyone who's running an NFL team for the last

236
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: twenty years doesn't know what they're doing. He just gives

237
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: the vibe that he's a middle manager, Todd Monk in

238
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: a CEO type and the Browns are gambling the gamble here.

239
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: The only reason you need to hire this guy is

240
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: that he can fix a quarterback, anyone that plays quarterback.

241
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: Right now, shooter of Sanders like the idea that he's

242
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: going to level up should Sanders place right, Sanders? How

243
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: do you level up a Pro Bowl quarterback who's got

244
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: a lot of social media clout. You don't turn a

245
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: store brand quarterback into the next Lamar Jackson. That ain't happening,

246
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: So good luck on that. I guess you just slap

247
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: what you do like a nicer label. Try to play

248
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: hide the quarterback, hide the quarterback, and hope.

249
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: That nobody reads the ingredients on the label. And you're like, okay,

250
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: we'll just put this right here. We're good to go.

251
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: That's all we have to do, all right, final fought.

252
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: So the real story here. Don't bury the lead, mam man.

253
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: I buried the lead. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I buried

254
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: the lead.

255
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: So with Todd Monkin in the house, he's in the

256
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: hissy that means exiting stage. Left would be brown defensive

257
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: coordinator Jim Schwartz, who might be out, not might.

258
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: It appears he is out as we are hearing.

259
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: From multiple insiders that Jim Schwartz, who was the betting

260
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: favorite when I went to bed, the betting favorite to

261
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: be the Browns coach, and when I woke up, Todd

262
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: Munkin was the Browns coach. But Todd, if you look

263
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: at this now, Jim Schwartz all right. He was said

264
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: to be visibly upset and said his goodbyes at the

265
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: Browns facility. He told people in the room, I'm out.

266
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm Donsky's I'm OUTI I ain't coming back. They don't

267
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: want me as the head coach. I'm not coming back.

268
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: So the question what is the word for Jim Schwartz

269
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: preparing to leave the Browns even though he's under contract

270
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: because he didn't get the head coaching job and Todd

271
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: Munkin was hired instead. So my word is a conjoined word.

272
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: Screamy me me is what it is. Screamy me me,

273
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: full body, hair on fire, eyes popping out like a

274
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: cartoon screaming. Maybe now this is a may the Schwartz

275
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: be with you situation? And may the Schwartz be with

276
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: you situation and right now the force, all right, the

277
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: force is trying to escape the factory of sadness through

278
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: the loading dock, and they're like, I gotta get out

279
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: of here. I'm gonna leave the loading dock. No one

280
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: will stop me. You got Jim Schwartz, who is technically

281
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: under contract the brown defensive players. Many of the headliners

282
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: having social media meltdowns because Jim Schwartz, who appears is out.

283
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: But again he's under contract.

284
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: And the issue is this, Like I was, I was

285
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: interacting with I got an email from a guy in

286
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: Ohio is a Browns fan, and he reached out to me.

287
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: I wrote, I made the mistake of writing back. I

288
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: usually don't write back. And I said, well, he's all

289
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: freaking out about He's like, well, Jim Schwartz isn'tnna go anywhere.

290
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: I know you're going to talk about this to night.

291
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: He's not going anywhere. Don't be wrong, malor you know that.

292
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: All I said, well, it doesn't matter. And I tried

293
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: to explain to this person. I said, listen, contracts in

294
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: Cleveland are like grocery receipts. You're giving the receipt, you

295
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: crumple it up, or you just ignore it and it

296
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: eventually gets tossed into the trash.

297
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: That's it. So if you're done working in.

298
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: One warehouse, the Factory of sadness, there are other warehouses

299
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: that are hiring. They've got the same forklifts, and the

300
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: lighting's a little bit better.

301
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: And all that stuff.

302
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: But here's the other thing. Bringing him back would be

303
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: bad if he doesn't want to be there. As the

304
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: line goes, you want volunteers, you don't want hostages, and

305
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: so he's going to be a debbie.

306
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: Down and all that. You shouldn't bring him back.

307
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: You don't need a guy pacing the hallways like he's

308
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: waiting for jury duty to end.

309
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: You don't want that.

310
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: And I will point out the conniption fit is justified.

311
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: The Browns had options. They had options, and there weren't

312
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: a lot of good options. And Schwartz was popular by

313
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: all accounts, did a good job with the Browns defense.

314
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: While he's been in Cleveland, and so he wanted the

315
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: corner office and he lost out. Now if he lost

316
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: out to Rasmataz, okay, you lost out to Rasmtaz. It happened,

317
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: bigger name bigger I've lost radio jobs people that were

318
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: bigger names were terrible, like ex athletes or TV people

319
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: that just suck at radio.

320
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: They're not don't understand the art of radio. But they

321
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: got the job in a bigger name. I understand why

322
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: the company did it.

323
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: But if you lose out to somebody who doesn't have

324
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: as much experience or does have as much but it

325
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: hasn't been like Schwartz has been a head coach, not

326
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: a good one. You lost out the Dolesville. You lost

327
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: out the Dollsville. Again, if Cleveland had hired a runway model,

328
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: a hobby as the coach, fine, you understand, you say, okay,

329
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, the hotter person won. Instead, they picked spam coaching,

330
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: spam processed salty, shelf stable, and that's what they picked.

331
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: And so Jim Schwartz saw the label, he checked the

332
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: expiration date and said, all right, I'm out, see you

333
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: letter it suckers.

334
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: And so yeah, it's drama.

335
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: It's not that much drama because it's understandable, that's a

336
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: natural reaction.

337
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: It's possible that he'll.

338
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: Calm down and say okay, I'll be fine, but it's

339
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: more likely than not that he started sending messages to

340
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: a bunch of different teams saying hey, I'm available, I

341
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: can get out of a contract, I don't want to

342
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: be here and let's go and the Raiders the car

343
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean, those are not great situations. But the good

344
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: thing about being a defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns

345
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: is that there's not a lot lower you can go.

346
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: There's not a lot lower you can go than the

347
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. It's like being in the sewer. Well, how

348
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: much lower can you go?

349
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: You're in the sewer.

350
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: You know you're already in the sewer well as a

351
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: lower level. Okay, fine, but not much lower, not much

352
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: lower than the sewer. That's where we are.

467
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: got the horror not Ryan, I love the heart right

468
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: there you go.

469
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, Hey, I was wondering if you heard what Lebron

470
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 6: said when he's trying to lecture us on how hard

471
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 6: it is you play the whole schedule in the NBA

472
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 6: compared to the eighties and nineties.

473
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 2: Now what did you say.

474
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 6: Oh, he was just saying that. He was saying like, oh,

475
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 6: people are faster and stronger and and the uh, they

476
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 6: don't play in the little post anymore. It's not crowded.

477
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 7: So then they're just spread out in game, higher paid

478
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 7: blah blah blah. But then uh, we're out of the

479
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 7: LA lineup that does some money, always has games worthy on.

480
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 7: He said when he was playing in the in the NBA,

481
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 7: he had to.

482
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 6: Deal with a coach. You know, coach fights commercial flights.

483
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 6: They said that his meals were like hot dogs at

484
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 6: the airport, you know. And the guys now get you know,

485
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 6: they got conger planes, they got chefs, you know. They

486
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 6: Lebron was going over his root team for a day,

487
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 6: which was just like sitting in cold and uh that

488
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 6: productions and just as a life of you know, these

489
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 6: billionaire and it's just ridiculous.

490
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it is.

491
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 2: I mean, I got a couple of thoughts on the air.

492
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 2: First of all, I was able.

493
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: I was a young, young, young lad back in the

494
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: nineties when I started covering the NBA, and it I

495
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: remember every generation complaints because I remember the guys who

496
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: played in the seventies were still hanging out in the

497
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: early nineties, and those guys complained they had to play

498
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: three games in a row, they had to plot, they

499
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: had to fly commercial flights, they had to fly.

500
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: The day of games, and so those guys we complained.

501
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: About it, but it was to me it was much

502
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: more difficult in the eighties because of the physicality and

503
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: they hadn't they didn't have the bells and whistles they

504
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: have today. It's a much softer game than it was

505
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: back then. So yeah, but but I guarantee you Eric,

506
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: whoever comes after Lebron will also say that Lebron had

507
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: it easy, and whoever the next star is is going

508
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: to because that's what every generation says the generation before.

509
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: They're easy.

510
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 8: And so as we're talking about David Stern earlier, I

511
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 8: thought it was pretty ridiculous when he died they barely

512
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 8: even mentioned his name and not realizing that he's the

513
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 8: one that brought the loop to where it is now,

514
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 8: where they're making ten to millions of dollars and it's

515
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 8: a worldwide sport now, and you know, they they barely

516
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 8: mentioned his name. Was pretty sad.

517
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he was.

518
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: He was really good at his job, and you know,

519
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: the marketing the stars, making the stars the headliners and

520
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: not the teams, and the whole, the whole deal with

521
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: with David's turning.

522
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 6: One last thing, one last thing.

523
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 7: I have been to the lake and I did see

524
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 7: the bench Jinian Medford.

525
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: Oh nice, it's still there. Good, it hasn't been vandalized.

526
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 8: Yeah good, okay, right, it was actually a good shape,

527
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 8: even with REPETI everywhere else.

528
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: But yeah, oh nice, yeah, yeah, very cool. All right,

529
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: Well thanks for doing that, Eric, I appreciate that. There

530
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: were a great tribute to Genie and Medford sign right

531
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: there on the bench near the playground there at that

532
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: park in La. The legendary call Gris caller, we've ever

533
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: had Genie Medford back in the day outstanding. Lucky Tony

534
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: is in the Bay area. Hello, Lucky Tony, welcome, Hey Ben,

535
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: can you hear me?

536
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, okay.

537
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 6: I wanted to clear up what I said the other

538
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 6: day about Rob Manford and his wife. What I was

539
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 6: trying to get at is that Rob Manford is such

540
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 6: a little wife and weasel that I was gonna wear

541
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 6: a Perry jersey with my dingle wing out.

542
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: But then I saw her picture. Thanks Ben, Hollering James

543
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: is next in Minneaples. Hello, hollering James, the legendary James

544
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: James is long gone.

545
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: All right, James's toast absolute.

546
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: Didn't he fell asleep or you think he's gonna get

547
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: a call back? All right? I wanted to mention this story,

548
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: so let's get to this right now. So I'm glad

549
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: James is not there. So hippity hoppity, hippity hoppity. In

550
00:28:53,480 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: the NBA, the Lakers Luka Doncik injured himself and he

551
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: attempted a three point shot like a fadeaway three point shot,

552
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: and he suffered an injury. Lakers lost by thirty. He

553
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: left the game. And the reason he's stuffed a leg injury.

554
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: He fell off the edge of the floor following a

555
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: three point attempt. And then JJ Reddick, the podcast guy

556
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: that's pretending to be a coach doing cosplay as a coach.

557
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: Because he's buddies with Lebron.

558
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: So JJ Reddick the podcaster then said he was concerned

559
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: because of the elevated court that they have in Cleveland.

560
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: He said it's an absolute safety hazard. He said post

561
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: all right, so there's one problem with this The reason

562
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: that Luca was injured is because he did the hipoiie hop.

563
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: He did not one, not two, not three, four bounces

564
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: backwards four. He was putting on the razzle, dazzle. He

565
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: was putting on the razzle. Now, the reason the floor

566
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: is elevated is because they have an ice rink underneath

567
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: it and they have an AHL team in Cleveland.

568
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 2: I guess they're called the Monsters.

569
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: That's a good name, monsters, very scary. And so they

570
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: have the rink there and the basketball court are separated

571
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: by like they have that sub floor, which is what

572
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: they do. They put the sub floor down, they put

573
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: the so it's raised up a little bit. And so

574
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: you complained about that. But Luca, the reason he got

575
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: hurt is because he kept hopping, because he was putting

576
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: on a show for the cameras. The mustard is off,

577
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: the hot dog is the late great chick Hern Laker

578
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: broadcaster back, And they would say, and he kept bouncing back,

579
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: and then if you keep bouncing back, numb nuts, you're

580
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: gonna go off the court. How about some situational awareness,

581
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: how about you're aware of what's going on, seriously, what

582
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: are you doing?

583
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: And then ready, I gotta defend my guy.

584
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: Of course, it was pretty funny because Barkley, when he

585
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: wasn't picking boggers, he pointed out, he just kept bouncing backwards,

586
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: like what is that?

587
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 2: What are you doing?

588
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: It's a bad job by you. It is the Ben

589
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: Mallor Show. As we are working our way through these

590
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: overnight hours, we do have asked Ben coming up here

591
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes, your questions and our answers,

592
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: ask Ben.

593
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: We began the night talking.

594
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: About the snub alublub of Bill Belichick, where the Pro

595
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame released a statement trying to clarify

596
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: the process. It's a big nothing about Bill Belichick and

597
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: the snub and all that stuff. So they released the statement,

598
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: said the Pro Football Hall of Fame understands and respect

599
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: the passionate reaction to many fans, ridly of mimersion and

600
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: shinyse of the Hall of Fame. This is how it

601
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: sounded in my head in light of the published reports

602
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: regarding the voting results of the Class of twenty twenty six.

603
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: It's that very passion that propels the game. So that's

604
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: a lot of bull crap. Statement continued. He said, each

605
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: year the Hall reviews the selection process and the composition

606
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: of the fifty person selection committee.

607
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 9: And then they they want to say if anybody, any

608
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 9: member violated the selection process by laws, they understand action

609
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 9: will be taking and that could include.

610
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

611
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: That you'll be bumped off the committee. It's a whole

612
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 2: lot enough.

613
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: What they should have said is on behalf of the

614
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame. We are all embarrassed for

615
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: the dummies that didn't vote for Bill Belichick.

616
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 2: They are scum of the earth. We hate them all.

617
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: We love the Hall of Fame. Thank you.

618
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: Somebody want those lines. It is the Ben Mathers Show.

619
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: Straight ahead. We are going to have ask ban your questions,

620
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: our answers, ask Ban.

621
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: We'll get to that and we will do it nact.

653
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,640

655

Speaker 1: Here, what do we have Kooper loop for the reading

656
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: of the questions?

657
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 3: All right, We're gonna start off with a question from

658
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 3: mad Jack. Hi Jack, good one. I haven't heard this

659
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 3: one before. What is or? I guess is or? Was

660
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 3: your favorite amusement park and favorite ride or attraction?

661
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I grew up in Orange County when I

662
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: was a kid, and I was right near Disneyland.

663
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, it was really cheap to

664
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 2: go to disney. I was very lucky.

665
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm old. When I was a kid, I can go

666
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: to Disney then whenever I wanted. It was reasonable, it

667
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: was affordable, especially if you lived in Southern California. They

668
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: had a Southern California rate and it was like literally

669
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: just a few miles away from where I grew up.

670
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 1: So I would go quite a bit. And I loved

671
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: Pirates of the Caribbean. I loved the smell of Pirates

672
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: of the Caribbean. I knew every character. Now they changed it.

673
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: Disney obviously has gone woke over the years, and so

674
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: they used to have the dudes chasing the women, and

675
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: then I think they had the women chasing the dudes.

676
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 2: And I don't even know what they have now, but

677
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 2: I love that ride. I loved the Pirates of the Caribbean.

678
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: And I used to like Splash Mountain, but they got

679
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: rid of that.

680
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 2: Something else.

681
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: Now, what about you mark any favorite ride in an

682
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: amusement park?

683
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 3: Anything?

684
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 10: Oh, and I was a kid. There was a place

685
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 10: in Chicago. It was called fun Town. And here's the

686
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,080

Speaker 10: love it.

689
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 2: You still remember all these years later? And that was

690
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: out there anymore.

691
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 10: There was a game you could play, like every every fair,

692
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 10: you know. You could shoot the gun and then make

693
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 10: the balloon pop. So that was yeah, that was that

694
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 10: was my fun game.

695
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 2: Were you good at it? You have good aim?

696
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 3: Yes?

728
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: stopped eating them so that.

729
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 10: I take them off because if the textures like rubber, Yes.

Speaker 3: That's I don't know if you'll be able to think

737
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 3: of something in this cord, but it's an interesting question

738
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 3: if you can. Donkey Sausage wants to know. Hi, Donkey,

739
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,680

741
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 1: Soccer I don't. I'll watch it during the World Cup.

742
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: I don't really enjoy it. I don't understand what the

743
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: rest of the world season. It just bores the hell

744
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: out of me. I played it when I was a kid,

745
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: and you see the passion of I'm sure there's something

746
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: better I can come up with later, But you asked

747
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: me right now. So I would say that because I

748
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: see the just like this is the world sport, and

749
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 1: I think it's the dumbest thing in the world, Like

750
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: like we just sit there, you spend two and a

751
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 1: half hours watching a soccer game and one nothing.

752
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 2: I'm like, well this is stupid. Uh So I go that,

753
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 2: what what about you? Marky Mark?

754
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 10: If I watch a rugby game, I can never understand.

755
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 10: I don't enjoy when the rugby player is running with

756
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 10: the ball or whatever it's called. But they can't run

757
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 10: or turn this where that way like a football player does.

758
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 3: You have to.

759
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 10: They make you run a certain direction. You can't change directions.

760
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: See, I didn't even know that. I didn't even know that.

761
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 2: You watch cricket. You ever watch cricket?

762
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 10: No, I don't understand that either.

763
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: Biggest sport in India cricket, Yeah, and big in New Zealand.

764
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: I got I used to do radio like every week

765
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: in New Zealand. My show got covered up because of cricket.

766
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 10: I wish I understood highlight too. Yeah, those big baskets

767
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 10: on your hand.

768
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 3: I wasn't even thinking of it the way that you

769
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 3: thought of it. But now that you brought that up,

770
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 3: I would say, hockey, I just can't get into it.

771
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 3: I've tried watching it. Then it's the best, that's what

772
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 3: everybody says. I just I don't know. I've never been

773
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 3: to a game live, so maybe that's the problem. As

774
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 3: far as me physically doing something I wish. I liked golf,

775
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 3: but I'm just really bad at it, so I don't.

776
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: Golf something i'll do once. I used to do it

777
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: once a year, but that's about it. There you ask
