31
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: The way tire buying should be our lead. This hour

32
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: is from beautiful South Florida, a vacation destination. Now, there

33
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: was a time when I was a kid. I'm old now,

34
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: but when I was a kid that the Dolphins always

35
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: had good football, the Miami Dolphins. That's a long time ago.

36
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins suck anyway that they they're good for what we

37
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: do in my occupation here, so we thank them for that.

38
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have a quarterback named to a tongue of

39
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: I Lo, who, when he's upright, is kind of average,

40
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: kind of average, and he's somehow has been able to

41
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: stay healthy recently. We'll see if that continues. But to

42
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: a tongue of ilow, the Dolphin quarterback filling the content machine. Now,

43
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: when I went to bed after the overnight show yesterday,

44
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: I did not anticipate that we would be leading off

45
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins. But that's the magic. That's the magic.

46
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: You don't know, it's the hocus pocus. So Dolphin quarterback

47
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: to a tongue of I Lawa, did not nibble around

48
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: the edges when it came to the cheetah, Cheata cheata Cheetah. Now,

49
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: if you didn't hear this, maybe not Tua announcing that

50
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: the relationship with star receiver Tyreek Hill, remember him, Yeah,

51
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: still a work in progress now, not just for Tua,

52
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: but for the entire Dolphins team. In fact, just to

53
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: prove I'm not making this up, we have the audio tape.

54
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: So let's go to the audio tape. Here's Tua commenting

55
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: on Tyreek Hill and the situation and take her listen.

56
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 3: I would say, we're still continuing to do that. But

57
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: it's not just with me, it's it's with a lot

58
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: of the guys. I'm not the only one that heard that.

59
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: You guys, aren't the older people that heard that. You

60
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: know a lot of people that followed football, that followed

61
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins that followed Tyreek that are fans of his.

62
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: Everyone has seen that.

63
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: So when you say something like that, it's you don't

64
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: just come back.

65
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: From that with a my bad. Now you got you

66
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: gotta work that that relationship up. You got to build

67
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: everything up again. And yeah that it's the work in progress,

68
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 4: not just for me but for everybody.

69
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: All right, there you go. Now Hill did apologize for

70
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: what it's worth for his activity. You might remember if

71
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: you're old enough to remember the last NFL season so

72
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: long ago. In case you forgot them, maybe you're a

73
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: little slow. Tyreek Hill snapped at the end of the

74
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: year and said, I'm out bro. I shouldn't do that

75
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the show. I have a bad show.

76
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: I say I'm out bro. But he said it was

77
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: great playing here, meaning in Miami, but at the end

78
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: of the day, got to do what's best for my

79
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: career because I'm too much of a competitor to be

80
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: just out there. And so that was that, and he'll's back.

81
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: And you heard what the quarterback had to say. So

82
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question to a tongue of Iloa,

83
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: hinting as you heard there of aible Dolphin civil war.

84
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: That's what I heard as he spoke out on the

85
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: relationship with Tyreek Kill and his request to leave at

86
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: the end of last season. So is there something deeper

87
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: going on here? Is there something deeper? So I've got

88
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: Dali Lama, kombucha bar, and Walmart Greeter and we will

89
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and put the puzzle piece,

90
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: the jigsaw puzzle piece in the puzzle to complete the puzzle.

91
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: So a listen, you break this down. Is there something

92
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: deeper going on? Of course, like what do you smell

93
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: around the dolphins? You got your nose out, you sniffer, Right,

94
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: it's not sunscreen, it's not seawater, it's not try again,

95
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: that would be in my professional analysis for the dolphins,

96
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: gasoline and smoke. And here's why, right, because the dolphins

97
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: are a full blown tire fire waiting to explode. And

98
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: now Tua talking about working in this part of the movie.

99
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: In this part of the movie, Tua is the Dalai

100
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: Lama of dysfunction, and he heard he was trying to

101
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: play the peacemaker, trying to play the peacemaker, but at

102
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: the same time letting you and I know that, Yeah,

103
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a civil war brewing behind

104
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: the South Beach curtains there, and all of this because

105
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, the cheetah who turned into a housecat the

106
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: second things got really bad there in Miami. He saw

107
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: the real Tyreek Hill. He begged to be traded, and

108
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: suddenly he pops up there talking about how if you're

109
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: seeing his comments recently, Hill said that he's been going

110
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: to therapy and the church. Of course, I roll my

111
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: eyes at that. You don't get to quote the Bible

112
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: and your therapist like you get out of the cat house,

113
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: not doghouse. I said, cat house free of charge. But

114
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: it's not monopoly. I don't believe. If it is, that's

115
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: news to me. Believe it's the NFL. Now, the second

116
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: part of this is there a bigger underlying condition with

117
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and you can't see unless you're watching the

118
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: rebroadcast on the YouTube channel. I'm nodding my head, yes, Now,

119
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: what is it right? That would be enter in stage

120
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: left hipster head coach Mike McDaniel. The plot thickens. Now.

121
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I like the soundbites. He's good

122
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: for at least three or four goofy things to say,

123
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: during the year, so we like the soundbites. However, he

124
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: always looks like he's late for some kind of sit

125
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: down NPR interview or a podcast recording at a kombucha

126
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: t bar. And you know, listen, if people say he's

127
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: a great play caller, he really gets offense and he

128
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: understands that. But don't kid yourself, right if you mean,

129
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: just look at the guy. The man could not lead

130
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: a silent prayer, and he's leading a locker room of

131
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: I think alpha males. I believe that's what an NFL

132
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: locker room is, nothing but alpha males and and people

133
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: with multi million dollar checks and egos to match. So listen,

134
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: the Dolphins ft off. Let's call it like it is here.

135
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: They screwed up. They should have could have would have

136
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: traded Tyreek Hill and said bye bye, but they didn't

137
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: do it right. They should have done that. He's at

138
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: the age, he's at that tipping point Tyreek where you know,

139
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: how much does he have left in the tank. It's

140
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: gonna become a diminishing asset soon. If he's not producing

141
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: and he's whining, what's the point you can get some

142
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: other stiff to play wide receiver? So Miami brass. They

143
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: had a golden opportunity to move on, to re establish

144
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: some kind of control. But what do they do instead

145
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: of that? They let this guy tiptoe, just a little

146
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: tiptoe out of the bubble of trust and waltz right

147
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: back in like nothing happened. And so now he's talking

148
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: about being a better teammate. Too late, dude, you already

149
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: let the match. It's like every movie. There, the dynamite

150
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: sticks on fire, and so you're left with Tua tongue Bylow,

151
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: who's caught in the middle. Right, he's in the middle.

152
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: He's trying to keep the house from collapsing. And Tua knows,

153
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: and so does the Dolphin head coach there, the hipster

154
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, that if this goes as bad as it's looking,

155
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: if somehow the Dolphins finished behind not only the Bills,

156
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: but the Patriots, and if the Jets somehow finish ahead

157
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: of them, then it's turned out the last the parties over,

158
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: they will find a way to blow that thing up

159
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: with Tua, and the coach will be Gonzo. So this

160
00:09:54,280 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: is a last opportunity for Tua in Miami, and he

161
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: knows it, and so the walls are collapsing, and you

162
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: can see it, and I watch it. I was saying

163
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: for our blind listeners. You look, you look at his

164
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: eyes there, and he looks like a guy who who

165
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: knows that this is a recipe that he's got in

166
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: his hands, a recipe for disaster. It's got all the ingredients.

167
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: You've got a divided locker room. Check, you've got a

168
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: deva wide receiver with one foot out the door. And

169
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: then he put the foot back in. But he's getting

170
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: the point where he's not going to get his numbers.

171
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: He didn't have the numbers last year. He likes check

172
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: that box. You've got a coach who thinks sarcasm and

173
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: Spotify playlists are the keys to good leadership. That's a

174
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: double check. And so what's next? All right, well move

175
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: ahead in the recipe. It is cowboom is what it is.

176
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: That's an implosion CAPITALII. All right, now, last word, we

177
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: go to another developing story in the NFL, to the

178
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: Music City where the number number in the entire league

179
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: who was a year ago projected as a second round

180
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: pick but then went to the number one slot, cam

181
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: Ward cam Ward rookie Tennessee Titan quarterback. So cam Ward

182
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: was asked how he reacted to the news that the incumbent,

183
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: the guy that was the starter who likes mayonnaise, Will Levis,

184
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: quarterback Will Levis has been ruled out for the twenty

185
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: twenty five regular season. And did you hear his response?

186
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: You did not. Okay, this thing's gone viral. Let's go

187
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: to the audio tape. Here's cam Ward. Take a listen.

188
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 5: What was your reaction to the news that Levison decided

189
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 5: to have surgery? And it's kind of subtracted from the

190
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: quarterback round.

191
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: Now, oh, I really don't have a reaction. I focus

192
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: on cam Ward. Yeah, look at that. I didn't I

193
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: play that again, This is cam Ward. He's asked about

194
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: a team. Well, lews degals, what.

195
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 5: Was your reaction to the US and Levison decided to

196
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 5: have surgery? And it's kind of subtracted from the water background.

197
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: Now, oh, I really didn't have a reaction. I focus

198
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: on caam Warren oh Man didn't have a reaction. I

199
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: focus on Camboard. Well, that went viral. It was a

200
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: sliver of a longer sound bite, but that's the one

201
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: that got played millions of times. And the question on

202
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: this when many fans seem to be upset that the

203
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: media did cam wore dirty. They did him dirty because

204
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: that clip went viral. Is that how you see it?

205
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: Is that how you see it? So that is not

206
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: how I see it. On this side of the microphone,

207
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: all is fair in love, war and the wild West

208
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: of the NFL media world. And you put and this

209
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: is not that difficult. I know there's a lot of

210
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: dumb people in the world, but this is not that

211
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: difficult anymore. With an IQ above, ten should figure out

212
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: that if you're in the media, you put the most

213
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: interesting quote on a pedestal, and cam Ward who's talking

214
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: about himself in the third person, like he's the rock

215
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: or something. I focus on cam Ward ding ding ding

216
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: ding ding. Yeah, that's the moneymaker, right. That's impressive when

217
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: you consider cam Ward has played as many NFL games

218
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: as you and I have zero zippo not a bupkis

219
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: all right, no snaps in the NFL. It's kind of

220
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: like this is one of those things. It's like a

221
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: Walmart greeter coming out and said, hey, welcome to the NFL. Pal,

222
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: You're not in Pullman, Washington. Even though cam Warden went

223
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: to Miami played longer at Washington State, like this is

224
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: not Washington State versus Northern Colorado in front of seventy

225
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: seven people, And I think there was a skunk at

226
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: that game. You're in the league and everything you say

227
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: is clipped, it is tweeted, it is meaned, it is debated,

228
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: and then it's debated again. Cam Ward in that clip,

229
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: and again it wasn't the whole clip, but he came

230
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: off as a bit robotic and like he was programmed

231
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: by a PR firm and he somehow failed. There was

232
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: a glitch in the thing of a jig and it

233
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: didn't work, and you just had the door blown open

234
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: for you to be the starter. Now, in all fairness,

235
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: I think you and I can agree that cam Ward

236
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: was going to be the starter anyway. There is no

237
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: even small competition at this point. I mean, they're gonna

238
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: sign somebody else, but it's gonna be a turd. And

239
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: so he could not even read the stock answer off

240
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: the Q card right twenty twenty five And what does

241
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: that mean if you're in the media. Clickety clicks are

242
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: the currency now, like the media get paid in that world.

243
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: They don't get paid for touchdown passes. They don't and

244
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: unless they work for the team website and they're on

245
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: the payroll. They don't get paid for fluff pieces, which

246
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you love, you love the

247
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: fluff fluffy mc fluff, but that's not ours. You get

248
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: paid for engagement. And player A says something cold and

249
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: detached like that, or player B says something in the

250
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: third person that is cha ching, cha ching, cha ching,

251
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: And this is the carnival. It's been the carnival for many,

252
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: many years. It's the carnival. Like the NFL isn't just football.

253
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: It's our daily soap opera. But it's been right. It's

254
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: football plus a lot more. It's the personality part of it.

255
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: It's the day to day reality show. Because listen, in

256
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: the NFL, we know they we love watching our football,

257
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: but they only play seventeen regular season games. Each team

258
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: plays seventeen regular season games. It's a reality show that

259
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: has a budget of what twelve billion or something like that.

260
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: And the second you go third person, you've officially entered

261
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: the entertainment business. All right, that's what the biggest douchebags

262
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: in the world do. They talk in the third person,

263
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: and so welcome to the big leagues. You're in the

264
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: big leagues. Now, wee a cam hoard everything you say

00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Mahler Show. As we continue the

309
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: Red Eye flight, we are in the air everywhere, hand

310
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: in hand as we provide moonlight. Mallard monologues coast to coast,

311
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: border to border and beyond on the vast and voice

312
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: farously powerful microphones of fsr M monating live from the

313
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: hammer as we hammer away, the Hot Sports takes one

314
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: after another from the Fox Sports radio studios, as approved

315
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: by former WNBA fans, Supermarket Steve So Supermarket Steve used

316
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: to get very upset that we only talked about Caitlin Clark.

317
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: We wouldn't talk about the WNBA, and you're very upset

318
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: about that. And then after the WNBA players protested, he

319
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: now does not like the WNBA, so he's okay with

320
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: us ignoring the WNBA. Now, this portion of the Ben

321
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: Malers Show made possible in part by our friends at

322
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: tire Rack. For over forty years, tire Rack has been

323

Speaker 1: hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,

326
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: tire rack dot Com. The Way tire Buying Showy. So

327
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from the Frozen Tundra. So

328
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: the story that happens every time around this time, every

329
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: year around this time, much like certain events Punk Satani

330
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: Phil will he see his shadow? How many more weeks

331
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: of winter the swallows returning to Capistrano. So it was

332
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: open book Day in Green Bay. Oh man, I always

333
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: look forward to Open book Day in Green Bay. It's great,

334
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: it really is. So for some reason you're not familiar

335
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: with I don't know how you wouldn't beat, but maybe

336
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: you're not paying attention. So, as a publicly owned football team,

337
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: the green Bay Packers have to let everyone know all

338
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 1: of the math, all of the numbers, and they revealed

339
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: the national revenue sharing from the previous fiscal year. This

340
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: is not Wall Street Radio turns out though, that the

341
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: green Bay Packers were given a check by their sugar

342
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: dotty at the NFL four hundred and thirty two point

343
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: six million, four hundred and thirty two point six million.

344
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: This a year after national revenue top four hundred million,

345
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: and so first time over the four hundred million threshold.

346
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: So that the finance is the only peak behind the curtain.

347
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: The only way we look and see what's on the

348
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: other side into the NFL's revenue sharing numbers is again,

349
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Packers, not just to bore you with

350
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: the minutia, but as the only publicly owned team. The

351
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: packers are required to reveal their financial information on an

352
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: annual basis. So what does that mean. Let's break it

353
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: down with four hundred thirty two point six million distributed,

354
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: and you do the math on that, divide it. Thirty

355
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: two NFL teams got four hundred thirty two point six million.

356
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: That means the league as a whole shared more than

357
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: thirteen billion in revenue. More than thirteen billion if my

358
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: malor math is correct from the previous fiscal year. So

359
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: a little bit better than the Overnight show. So let

360
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: us discuss the question where are you at on the

361
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: NFL handing over checks to each team for four hundred

362
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: and thirty two million in national revenue over the last year.

363
00:21:55,119 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: So I've got El Chapo, Ozzie and Mark Jackson, and

364
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we're

365
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: gonna go get some petty cash out of the NFL's

366
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: ATM machine. So number I said number. What this is

367
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: is a refresher course the NFL. We say it all

368
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: the time, but for those that don't listen all the time,

369
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: the NFL is the most idiot proof business in America.

370
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: Remember years ago, I was thinking about doing another side hustle.

371
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: I always had two or three media jobs. I get

372
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: this show, I got a podcast. Hopefully they'll bring the

373
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: TV show back. But I've always got a lot of

374
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: stuff going on. I always got a lot of stuff

375
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: going on. I thought, well, maybe I'll do a little

376
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: side hustle. I was like, I was looking at it, like,

377
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: what are the most idiot proof businesses? And they're like

378
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: vending machines atm machines, although that's risky because people might,

379
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, rob you with a gun and take your money.

380
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: Laundromat things like that, or running a McDonald's, you know,

381
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: getting a successful fast food frame, which is very expensive

382
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: to get one of those. Except so think of the

383
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: NFL kind of like a Mickeyd's, except with a lot

384
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,479
Speaker 1: more money, right, And you can't screw this thing up.

385
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 8: You can't.

386
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: Like there's some real n income poops that own NFL teams,

387
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: and these these owners, I'm convinced they could. They could

388
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: sleep through the league meetings, they could light the playbooks

389
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: on fire while they're smoking their cigars, and they still

390
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: cash these ridiculous checks. It's like every year, like clockwork,

391
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: here come the Green Bay Packers, the Squeaky reel. Now.

392
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: I was told several years back. I don't even know exactly.

393
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean, there's many, many years. It all runs together.

394
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: It's like a blank, giant blob of time. But I

395
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: was told by some of the works of the NFL

396
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: who who was an associated mind, that the league years

397
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: ago tried to find a way to have the Packers

398
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: be owned by some meaning they would no longer be

399
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: part of the community. And they were. They had lawyers

400
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: look at everything and all the agreements because it's a

401
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: bit of a problem. The Packers are the squeaky wheel

402
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: of the NFL, the only team in the industrial complex

403
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: of North American sport in the big sports that matter

404
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: that's owned by I say, owned by the fans, but

405
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: I have some friends of mine that owned the Packers.

406
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: They bought stock in the Packers. It's not like you

407
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: get to decide who the quarterback is, but it means

408
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: for our purposes every July we get to play Bikkaboo,

409
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: pik kaboo, behind the Velvet Curtain, Behind the Velvet Curtain,

410
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: and Sweet Baby Jesus. It's like opening El Chapo's ledger

411
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: and finding just how much money those drug cartels make.

412
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: Four hundred and thirty two million per team in national revenue.

413
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: And so let's break that down unscientifically for those of

414
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: you that are slow learners, because I was a slow learner.

415
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: That's not ticket sales. That's not the beer money. That's

416
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: not the nachos, the peanuts, the hot dogs. That's TV.

417
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: That's gambling partnership money. That's the streaming money. That's thirteen

418
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: point eight billion sliced up like a drug cartel, profit

419
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: sharing operation. These guys are laundering the American passion, pure profit,

420
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: pure profit. It's like the NFL has so much money.

421
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: In my head, they've gone out to somewhere in Missouri

422
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: and they've got storage units. Maybe Ronnie the Bullet, Ronnie

423
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: the Bullet out there can go in there and find

424
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: the storage unit where they put the cash in there.

425
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: It's like Breaking Bad season five. So maybe it's sound

426
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: in New Mexico, but like, what are they doing? Like

427
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they building new yachts every year.

428
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: They got gold plated iPads, they got I mean, my god,

429
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: they could put a NFL game if they want, They

430
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: could put it in on the moon, and not because

431
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: they need to do that, just because they can just

432
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: because they can. And the packers, and of course they're

433
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: forced to tell the truth. And they reported an eighty

434
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: three point seven million dollar operating profit last year. Good

435
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: for the I'm not ripping them. I may good for them.

436
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 1: May every business be profitable, not every business? And can

437
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: they actually reward their employees unlike some cheap companies. All right,

438
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: that's up twenty three million year to year, right, twenty

439
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: three million, And so it's listen, it's good for them.

440
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: They're successful. Meanwhile, you think about the NFL, and it

441
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: doesn't matter whether you're good or not. The Cleveland Browns blow,

442
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: and you know, they can go out there and win

443
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: four games and they still get the same game check

444
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: or the same check, not a game check, but the

445
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: same money. And the Browns could hire a kangaroo to

446
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: run the team and they'd still turn a profit with

447
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: a kangaroo. Okay, the NFL is the casino and casinos

448
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: make money, but they this one always makes money. I

449
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: got a lot of money you don't give. You don't

450
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: give any other business that kind. I mean, I'm sure

451
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: there's some Wall Street places, some defense contractors that make

452
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: a ton of money and all that, But my god,

453
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: it is. It is insane. So remember that. Now we

454
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: do talk about who's worth money, who's not worth money.

455
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear any sob stories about some

456
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: owner crying poverty and all that stuff. When these guys

457
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: say they can't afford to pay a player, they can

458
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: always afford to pay a player. The issue is not

459
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: whether you can afford to pay the player. The issues

460
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: you want to play pay the player. Is the player

461
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: worth the money? And for a team to say, wow,

462
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: we can't afford, like a Bengals to it's like all

463
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: of your payroll is covered by the set by the

464
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: check from the league, right, So it's just it's really

465
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: it's like Jeff Bezos saying I'm on a budget, and

466
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, come on, the only thing you're really budgeting

467
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: is how many jets you're gonna buy this year, and

468
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: how many yachts and all that stuff. And the NFL

469
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: at this point, the NFL is not just a sport.

470
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: It's the cartel. But they do have nice helmets, they

471
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: do have nice summits. Now page two to Jersey we go,

472
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: and we have a quarterback one that has been announced

473
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: coach Brian Dayball, who's still hanging around somehow. You talk,

474
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: you about a cat with nine lives. So Brian Dable

475
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: named Russell Wilson, mister unlimited, Russell Wilson the Giants starting

476
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: quarterback before training camp. It hasn't really gotten going, but

477
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: Brian Dable, as training camp began, named Russell Wilson as

478
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: the Giants starting quarterback. That is blank. We'll play the

479
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: fill in the blank game. So Brian Dable naming Russell

480
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: Wilson QB one for the Giants is blank. My fill

481
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: in the blank is I wrote down on my scorecard.

482
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: Chicken fertilizer is what that is. I'd rather say the

483
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: other word, but we're not allowed to. That is chicken

484
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: bleep is what it is by the Giants. It's absolute garbage,

485
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: all right. The fact that Brian Dable anointed Russell Wilson

486
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: the number one quarter like, does he not realize it's

487
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, it's not twenty fourteen or twenty fifteen.

488
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert. This just into the Fox Sports radio newsroom.

489
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson there, she blows. He's not good, right, and

490
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: he has not been the guy. He hasn't been that

491
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: guy in a while. And this is a total vote

492
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: of no confidence for Jackson Dart, the rookie and famous

493
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston and at least pretend, at least pretend like

494
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: there's a competition. Right, No, this reeks of the late

495
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: Ozzy Osbourne classic crazy Train. It's a desperation from Brian Daball.

496
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: No why right? Not only is Russell Wilson's stink, it's

497
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: bigger than that. Right, He's a glorified game manager. He's

498
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: got a bloated resume. The guy has been matt at

499
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: best for three years running. And this goes back to

500
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: something we've talked about for many, many years behind these microphones.

501
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: It is the theory the man that shot Liberty Vounce.

502
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: Once the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend, right,

503
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: you print the legend, you talk about the legend. And

504
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: the legend of Russell Wilson was established in those salad

505
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 1: days in Seattle with the legion of Boom and all that.

506
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: And Russell Wilson has as many MVP votes as I've

507
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: got and you've got right, He's never been really all

508
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: that great, but he had some good defensive teams and

509
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: he was always something. There were always three or four

510
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: or five or six or seven or eight quarterbacks better.

511
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: Now there are twenty quarterbacks often better than him. And

512
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: his last year in Seattle was not that great. He

513
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: went to Denver, was a dumpster fire, went to Pittsburgh

514
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: police unless you like those five yard outs, And of

515
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: course people called that a career revival. I didn't realize

516
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: a five yard out was a career revival. Apparently it is.

517
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: And in Russ, I get he's living off the man

518
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: that shot Liberty Vunce. He's living off that one super

519
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: Bowl and the let Russ cook hype from back in

520
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: the day, and that's it. And Brian Dabole, the coach

521
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: who's been billed as the quarterback whisper when he was

522
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: in Buffalo quarterback whisperer with Josh Allen, and he's just

523
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: handed Russell Wilson the job. Like why it's again, it's

524
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: not twenty thirteen, it's we've moved on from that and

525
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: now it's not all bad because we do anticipate that

526
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: we'll get some good corny sound, some good corny sound

527
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: rehearse slogan. Russ is like a mix of a motivational

528
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: speaker and a cheese ball, and he's ad a youth

529
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: pastor retreat because on the field, he's just blah bad,

530
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: all right, blah blah blah blah blah bad, and that's bad,

531
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: but he's not and he's not even fun bad though,

532
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: as we pointed out, Jameis Winston and I want the

533
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: record to show the Ben Malors show we support Jameis Winston.

534
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston's chaos. Jameis Winston is a pick six to

535
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: the right, crab legs of the left, four hundred yard

536
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: passing games followed by four turnovers in the middle, and

537
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: you know what that is entertainment. You're bad, but at

538
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: least you're entertaining. You know what. Russ is balling And

539
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: this just feels like Brian Dable, who's one of those

540
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: guys who's on the hot seat covering his own tookas

541
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: and he needs to win and he thinks that Russ

542
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: gives him the quote safe option if you will, all right?

543
00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: Final point, Jeff Philla Delphia. We go where Eagles quarterback

544
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts explain that he is refusing to wear refusing

545
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: to wear the recent Super Bowl ring after his MVP

546
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: performance and all that, hurt says, quote He's moved on,

547
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: moved on to the new year. It's as simple as that.

548
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: Now that has upset some people, but does it work

549
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: for you? Does it work for you that Jalen Hurts

550
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: is not wearing his bling bling So I am nodding

551
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: my head. Yes, all right, I love it. And as

552
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: Mark Jackson would say, this is what we call a

553
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: grown man move. I'll be Benny Brightside. Good job by

554
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. All right, Jalen Hurts gets it. You gotta

555
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,239
Speaker 1: move forward. That is the way this works. Right. We

556
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: know that accolades people love to celebrate that they sit

557
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: there and smell themselves, right, But accolades are just the

558
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: receipts for things you've already done. And it's you know,

559
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: it's when you become an old dude. You sit on

560
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: your rocking chair and you talk about the glory days,

561
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: you drink a glass of lemonade, marcol mar Day and

562
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: come on the other factor And I'll never forget out

563
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: a conversation. Years ago, when I was doing some NBA stuff,

564
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: there was a guy named Phil Jackson, and he used

565
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: to coach the Bulls and the Lakers, and Phil won

566
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: more championships than just about anybody. And I remember this

567
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: was twenty five years ago and Phil Jackson was complaining

568
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: then about how when he first won a championship I

569
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: think it was with the Knicks in the seventies, probably

570
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: fifty years ago whatever, but the championship rings were designed

571
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: for the person to wear. They were more like class rings.

572
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: And Phil would be complaints of these rings. I can't

573
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: they're too big, they're for a safety deposit box. They're

574
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: not to wear.

575
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 3: You know.

576
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: Some people have made them into chains. They're more of

577
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: a chain thing than something you wear around, and they're

578
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: so valuable, like you're just asking for someone to steal

579
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: the ring at gunpoint. So they're not designed to be

580
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 1: worn anyway. So I mean to me, I get why

581
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts isn't doing it and you press the reset button.

582
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: That's part of the deal. And so he's also validated

583
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: one of the things that we've said, there is no

584
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: such thing as wait for it momentum. Uncle Ma only

585
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: exists in Jersey. Uncle Mo used to live in Brooklyn,

586
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: but he moved to Jersey. He's also validated the fact

587
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: that you don't get rollover minutes. You know, it's like, oh, well,

588
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: you play well and you leave a little extra in

589
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: the tank. No, no, no, no, you either dominate now or

590
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: people say you're a has been right, you're a bit irrelevant,

591
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: bit irrelevant? You know what have you done for me lately?

592
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: All that stuff and wearing that ring is like carrying

593
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: a trophy to a job interview. It's like announcing, Hey,

594
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: I'm a douche and here's my trophy to loser move

595
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: And uh it was Winston Churchill. I don't know if

596
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: he's the first one to say it. He repeated it,

597
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: that you don't fight the last war, right, you don't fight,

598
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: and you don't celebrate as you're fighting another war, the

599
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: last war, when the new war has already started. So

600
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: you move on.

601
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

602

603
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,120

00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: to the third degree? This is one big Ben gets grilled.

605
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 8: Cooper lou Tyron Matthew the Honey Badger announced his retirement

606
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 8: on Tuesday, ending a decorated twelve year career since coming

607
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 8: out of LSU in twenty thirteen. The question now is

608
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 8: was his career good enough to get him a gold jacket.

609
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: No, no, good career in borderline Hall of Fame. He

610
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: wasn't All Pro three times, he was part of an

611
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: All Decade team. He was never Defensive Player of the Year.

612
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: And you can tell the story of football during his

613
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: career without mentioning his name. He's got a great nickname,

614
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: but he does not. You look at the numbers and

615
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: the impact, and he played on a lot of black teams.

616
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: No next.

617
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 8: Warren Moon was recently asked of Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen,

618
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 8: and Joe Burrow who he thinks will win a Super

619
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 8: Bowl first, and without hesitation, he said Lamar Jackson. He

620
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 8: went on to say that it's not because of Jackson

621
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 8: being much better than the other two, but because the

622
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 8: Ravens have the best team surrounding him. Ben is he

623
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 8: right about that part?

624
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: Uh, Well, the Ravens do have, you know, defense, They

625
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: got a bunch of alpha dudes on defense and all that.

626
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: But I would still go with Burrow. Burrow plays better

627
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and Josh Allen. I put Lamar Jackson third.

628
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: I put sports with Coleman ahead of Lamar Jackson.

629
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 8: Next, after you get another Dodgers loss on Tuesday, Dave

630
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 8: Roberts said, it better be rock bottom. They did win today,

631
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 8: But Ben, that was the dodgers eleventh loss in the

632
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 8: last fourteen games. Yet they're still in first place. Is

633
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 8: it premature to panic?

634
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: No, they suck and I'm sick of Dodger fans making excuses.

635
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: They got a bunch of holes in their line of

636
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: the bullpen blow and they just are so arrogant over

637
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: there at Dodger Stadium, like, will we be fine, We'll

638
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: be fine. I don't care. You're losing. You suck. How

639
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: do we do you passed? I won? I won Loreta

640
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: another win, red blooded American win. Right there.

Speaker 8: All right, We're gonna start off with a question from

651
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 8: Donkey Sausage Hi, donkey. He would like to know what

652
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,560

00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 8: do well?

654
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: Uh? What am I to rrible at that? I wish

655
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: I could do well. Let's see anything involving gymnastics, anything,

656
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: not that I want to be a gymnast or anything

657
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: like that, but I'm always jealous of people that have

658
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: that ability. That's like the first thing that popped up.

659
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: You see people that are very good at manipulating their

660
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: body in certain ways. I'm not great at that. What

661
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: about you, Lorena?

662
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, somewhere between drawing and taking good photos.

00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: You take good photo You're very popular. People love you and.

664

Speaker 8: The but do there's some people are so photogenic and

665
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 8: it does takes nothing, Like I have to work really hard.

666
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I hate looking at myself. That's why I got

667
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: in the radio. It sucks like doing the TV show

668
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. I'm like, holy crap, I

670
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,239

671
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 8: at that I wish I were, But I think that

672
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 8: on the top of the list, I would choose playing guitar.

673
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:56,839

701
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 8: open the box wherever it is that she is, and

702
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 8: then just puts the box cutter down right there. And

703
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,080

705
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,279

707
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't know where it is. It should be where

708
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: I put it. I don't know where it is. What's next?

709
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 8: Late night drug tester. We'd like to know for everybody

710
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,200

00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: No? But I did get I did get an accident

713
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: at the McDonald's over in Hollywood when I was a

714
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: single lad at three in the morning. I was online

715
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: at the There were two drive through windows. You pay

716
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: it the first one, you get the food at the

717
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: second one. I was at the first window to pay.

718
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: I had paid, I was waiting to move up, and

719
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: as I was getting ready to move up, the car

720
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 1: in front of me, driven by a sixteen year old,

721
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: realized he forgot to pay and decided to back up.

722
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:07,959
Speaker 1: Without looking and rode into my car. Slammed into my car. Yeah,

723
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: the rain.

724
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 8: I don't think so. I usually block out really traumatizing

725
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 8: moments like that, but I don't think so.

726
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: I understand. What about you?

727
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 8: Yes, I was in a rented Dodge charger and ran

728
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,959
Speaker 8: out of gas in the Arby's drive through. Why would

729
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 8: you go to a drive through when you know you

730
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 8: need gas? I didn't know how big the like reserve

731
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 8: tank was. I thought I hadn't plenty of time.

732
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate.

733
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 8: It was very embarrassing. I had to call my mom

734
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 8: to come, like bring over gas in a tank.

735
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: That's a pic of duties.

736
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 8: People had to back up out of the drive through.

737
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: And Arby's not a Taco bell And.

738
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 8: Alright, Bobby and Florida wants to know what was your

Speaker 1: Okay cool.

749
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 8: I did a cross country trip with my mom and

00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 8: my sisters, and then I would also go to Laughlin

751
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:22,200
