2:46
Speaker 1: So our lead this hour, we'll go from bouncing around
2:50
Speaker 1: you a lot of baseball tribute to John Sterling earlier
2:53
Speaker 1: all out to be on the podcast, even pro bouncy ball.
2:56
Speaker 1: But now we go to the NFL Nash Foot League,
3:01
Speaker 1: and our lead this hour out of the Burg, Pittsburgh,
3:05
Speaker 1: where Aird Rogers continues to be on a nice offseason
3:10
Speaker 1: hiatus from football. Will he ever play again? Developing hot
3:15
Speaker 1: dot dot dot if you've not heard the latest on
3:17
Speaker 1: this whispers out of the land of the Insurers and
3:20
Speaker 1: the Terrible Towels, suggesting also really good cinnamon roles, really
3:25
Speaker 1: good cinnamon roles in Pittsburgh anyway, The reporting indicating these
3:29
Speaker 1: Steelers are running out of patients. It is starting to
3:34
Speaker 1: wear thin. Oh, the dramatic reporting with Aaron Rodgers and
3:38
Speaker 1: whether or not he's going to play in twenty twenty six.
3:40
Speaker 1: The breathless reporting that Pittsburgh is tired of waiting for
3:44
Speaker 1: the forty two year old Rogers to sign the DOCU
3:49
Speaker 1: sign and get his ass to Pennsylvania. The Steelers recently
3:55
Speaker 1: applied for some rarely used clause that is a free
4:02
Speaker 1: agent tender for Aaron Rodgers, which means they have the
4:06
Speaker 1: right of first refusal. The Steelers do to match any
4:08
Speaker 1: offer that Rogers may receive from another team, which would
4:12
Speaker 1: seemingly indicate that the Steelers, at least part of the
4:17
Speaker 1: argument is they believe that Rogers is talking to other
4:19
Speaker 1: teams and there's another team at least someone who's interested.
4:22
Speaker 1: If it was either the Steelers or nobody, then why
4:26
Speaker 1: would you even bother doing that? It would make no sense.
4:28
Speaker 1: These Steelers do not have a quarterback, not a good
4:30
Speaker 1: one on their roster. Mason Rudolph, the red nose quarterback,
4:34
Speaker 1: is still there. Will Howard is on the roster, and
4:38
Speaker 1: the seventy sixth pick in the twenty twenty six NFL
4:42
Speaker 1: Draft from Penn State Drew Aller. That's it. That's the
4:48
Speaker 1: big board. Not unless that's the big board. Those are
4:51
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks for the rotund Mike McCarthy at this particular point,
4:55
Speaker 1: so good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
4:59
Speaker 1: how much weight? How much weight do you give the
5:03
Speaker 1: reports that the Steelers patience is starting to wear thin
5:07
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. So I've got farmer John Hertz, rental
5:12
Speaker 1: car and campaign headquarters, and we will combine all of
5:17
Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to have a
5:21
Speaker 1: Gobba Ghoul taco for Cinco Demle. We're combining worlds here.
5:25
Speaker 1: We're gonna take some Italian beef, the Gabba Ghoul, and
5:29
Speaker 1: we're gonna make a taco out of it, and then
5:30
Speaker 1: we're gonna wash it down with a burrito filled with
5:34
Speaker 1: the Baba Ganoosh. So we're mixing worlds. It's what we're doing.
5:37
Speaker 1: And then we'll probably have to go to the bathroom.
5:39
Speaker 1: So to kick off here, the reporting out of Pittsburgh,
5:44
Speaker 1: how much weight do I give it? It's not a heavyweight,
5:46
Speaker 1: it's not a middleweight. It is a featherweight. It is
5:51
Speaker 1: a featherweight divisional report. Is what that is here? Now, Seriously,
5:56
Speaker 1: nothing has changed, literally and figuratively, nothing has changed other
6:01
Speaker 1: than the fact that a few days have gone by.
6:03
Speaker 1: Other than that we just happened to be in the
6:05
Speaker 1: month of May, the same argument applies. There is no
6:10
Speaker 1: evidence of a dramatic plot twist, and the plot thickening
6:16
Speaker 1: around Aaron Rodgers training camp does not start until mid July.
6:20
Speaker 1: Now I realize there's off season workouts and that kind
6:22
Speaker 1: of bull crap that the NFL has. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers
6:26
Speaker 1: is off to the right. If you look off to
6:28
Speaker 1: the right, there you can see that in the wild
6:29
Speaker 1: blue yonder, you've got Rogers who's going full farmer John,
6:33
Speaker 1: like he is going to milk this like a cow
6:37
Speaker 1: until the eleventh hour. The Steelers are not I don't
6:40
Speaker 1: believe they're mad. I don't think they're actually mad at
6:43
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. It's like, hey, they bought a luxury watch
6:47
Speaker 1: and it tells time whenever, whenever it feels like telling time.
6:52
Speaker 1: That's Aaron Rodgers, that's it. Coach Mike McCarthy and Pittsburgh
6:56
Speaker 1: they knew the deal. McCarthy coming in, knew they didn't
6:58
Speaker 1: have a quarterback in Pittsburgh, not a good one. And
7:01
Speaker 1: Rogers is like average at this point, and so they're like, okay,
7:04
Speaker 1: we'll take average. We like average. You don't sign up
7:08
Speaker 1: for the Aaron Rodgers experience, all right. You subscribe to
7:12
Speaker 1: it's it's a monthly fee. You subscribe to it, and
7:17
Speaker 1: sometimes the content drops late. It happens, and he isn't
7:22
Speaker 1: holding the team hostage. Like that argument is just ridiculous,
7:26
Speaker 1: overly dramatic bullshoy, if you know what I mean. Okay,
7:31
Speaker 1: he's just operating on ayahuasca's standard time. So when you
7:34
Speaker 1: operate on ayahuasca's standard time, then it's not recognized by
7:39
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the NFL. This is how
7:41
Speaker 1: it works. But Aaron Rodgers treating retirement talk, the idea
7:45
Speaker 1: that he's going to retire is like a Netflix true
7:48
Speaker 1: crime series. It's like a couple of episodes too long.
7:51
Speaker 1: It could have really been done in just two episodes
7:53
Speaker 1: or one episode. You didn't need a five part monstrosity.
7:57
Speaker 1: It's a bad job by you, all right. So now
8:00
Speaker 1: they've got two options, and I'm never wrong about these things.
8:03
Speaker 1: So they have two options, Like they can either wait
8:05
Speaker 1: for Rogers to figure things out right and he'll announce it,
8:10
Speaker 1: or they'll wait for Aaron Rodgers to go on the
8:12
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan three hour podcast and then maybe he'll announce
8:15
Speaker 1: something possibly, So his timeline has never sinced with the
8:19
Speaker 1: rest of humanity. We're talking about Aaron Rodgers here. Just
8:23
Speaker 1: it is not and so this is not it's not
8:25
Speaker 1: a standoff because I think Rogers is laying down at
8:28
Speaker 1: a beach somewhere, not in Malibu. I think he's gone
8:31
Speaker 1: from there somewhere else, and he's just getting hanging out
8:34
Speaker 1: and la la la la, having a cocktail or whatever
8:37
Speaker 1: he's doing there, and he's just he's finishing a very long,
8:40
Speaker 1: complicated thought that is dancing through his head. And again,
8:45
Speaker 1: everyone knew the deal. This Dealers could have easily said
8:48
Speaker 1: we're gonna move on and get one of these other
8:50
Speaker 1: Jabronis that suck, And there's a lot of suck that
8:53
Speaker 1: changed teams to a tongue of bailola. For example, he
8:55
Speaker 1: stinks in Atlanta. He's changed teams. Kyler Murray professional gamer,
8:59
Speaker 1: occasionally plays football. It's part time hustle. He was available,
9:03
Speaker 1: and the Steelers just they were patient. They know the deal,
9:05
Speaker 1: and so I maintained my position that Rogers just figures
9:08
Speaker 1: I'll just hang out and then eventually I'll all come
9:11
Speaker 1: in at the very last minute, the eleventh hour, and
9:13
Speaker 1: everyone knows the situation, and that's that and that's all now. Meanwhile,
9:16
Speaker 1: speaking of bad quarterbacks, we go to Houston less than
9:20
Speaker 1: a month ago. Owner Cal McNair, the guy who won
9:25
Speaker 1: the genetic lottery, and happened to be the son of
9:27
Speaker 1: the guy that owned the Texans, and then that guy died,
9:29
Speaker 1: and then now this guy owns the team, cal McNair.
9:33
Speaker 1: So cal McNair went on record at the league meeting
9:36
Speaker 1: saying the Texans are quote totally behind close quote totally
9:40
Speaker 1: behind close quote CJ. Stroud. Now, but wait there's more.
9:45
Speaker 1: So cal McNair not very popular according to mister irrigation
9:48
Speaker 1: in Houston, boots on the ground there and anyway, So
9:52
Speaker 1: cal McNair doubling down on those comments this week, and
9:58
Speaker 1: he's attempting to to the bloat to bits go Kerfluey
10:03
Speaker 1: with the argument that Texans are not all in on CJ. Stroud,
10:08
Speaker 1: that he's going to be their quarterback for the foreseeable future.
10:12
Speaker 1: That is the argument that cal McNair is making. So
10:15
Speaker 1: the Texans have exercised the fifth year option on CJ. Stroud,
10:19
Speaker 1: keeping him under contract through the twenty twenty seven seasons.
10:23
Speaker 1: So even if he goes out there and is writing
10:26
Speaker 1: the vomit comment in twenty twenty six, he's at least
10:29
Speaker 1: under contract. Doesn't mean he's gonna play for them, but
10:31
Speaker 1: he's gonna get paid a lot of money. Stroud in
10:33
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. So question, you've got Texans owner cal
10:38
Speaker 1: McNair who again says they're fully committed to CJ. Stroud,
10:43
Speaker 1: doubling down on his previous comments. Are you buying what
10:49
Speaker 1: he is selling? Are you buying what he is selling?
10:51
Speaker 1: So this would be buyer beware. There's a label right there.
10:56
Speaker 1: It says buyer beware in Houston, because when the owner
11:00
Speaker 1: of an NFL team starts shouting fully committed, fully committed,
11:06
Speaker 1: it's like a clearance sale. Generally speaking, that is not bravado.
11:13
Speaker 1: That is not confidence. That is doubt. You are hearing doubt. Okay,
11:19
Speaker 1: because Calvineri keeps repeating this like it's a mantra. It's
11:23
Speaker 1: like beetlejuice. I'll repeat it a few times in a row,
11:27
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you know this is
11:28
Speaker 1: gonna happen, and so okay, But here's the rule. You
11:31
Speaker 1: don't say you're fully committed over and over again. You
11:36
Speaker 1: don't say that it's certainly not twice in one month
11:40
Speaker 1: unless you're trying to convince yourself and not the people
11:44
Speaker 1: who are your fans like you. No, I'm trying to
11:46
Speaker 1: convince myself. That's what I'm trying to do. And if
11:49
Speaker 1: there was any more and it was something else there,
11:54
Speaker 1: like like Cee Dishcroud was actually good. He's not like
11:58
Speaker 1: I would get it, like there's he is done everything
12:00
Speaker 1: he can in these playoff games for the Texans to
12:03
Speaker 1: prove that he's not the guy. So why would you
12:06
Speaker 1: think all of a sudden he's going to become the guy? Like,
12:11
Speaker 1: if anything, you should make him earn it, Like I
12:14
Speaker 1: wouldn't have given the fifth year option if I owned
12:16
Speaker 1: the Texans. I'd be like, no way, You've been an
12:19
Speaker 1: absolute dog with fleas. You need a flea bath is
12:22
Speaker 1: what you need. You don't need a fifth year option
12:25
Speaker 1: picked up. So again, I don't think it's belief. I
12:27
Speaker 1: think it's damage control with the microphone. That's my position.
12:30
Speaker 1: And then the Texans talk about him, about CJ. Stroud,
12:34
Speaker 1: They talk about him like like a guy returning a
12:37
Speaker 1: Hurtz rental car with a bunch of scratches on it. Hey,
12:41
Speaker 1: it's no big deal. It runs great, you know, don't
12:43
Speaker 1: even look at the back of the car. No, it's fine,
12:45
Speaker 1: We're good. We're good.
12:47
Speaker 2: Now.
12:47
Speaker 1: Real franchises do not continue to support Suck. They hold
12:52
Speaker 1: people accountable. The Texans are not a real franchise. Instead,
12:56
Speaker 1: they're holding these monthly re insurgents. We're gonna convince ourselves
13:01
Speaker 1: these pep rallies, Right, they're going to reassure themselves every month,
13:04
Speaker 1: Oh this is our guy, and well, yeah, he's not
13:07
Speaker 1: your guy. And they just roll the ball out and
13:10
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, right, we're gonna let our quarterback cook.
13:12
Speaker 1: Well he's not cooking anything, he's not. So this is
13:15
Speaker 1: the NFL's version of I swear, I swear everything is fine. Well,
13:21
Speaker 1: of course it's not fine. You don't need to swear
13:23
Speaker 1: it's fine. If it's fine. If it's fine, you don't
13:24
Speaker 1: say I swear it's fine. It's something else, all right,
13:28
Speaker 1: it's something else. They're committed to a guy who's not
13:32
Speaker 1: worthy of commitment. And it's like the same way people
13:35
Speaker 1: every year in December they buy gym memberships. It's one
13:38
Speaker 1: of the great hustles. The whole business model of a
13:42
Speaker 1: gym is to get people to sign up and then
13:45
Speaker 1: feel guilty about not paying the monthly fee even though
13:48
Speaker 1: they don't actually go to the gym. That's the whole model.
13:51
Speaker 1: They don't really want you to go to the gym.
13:53
Speaker 1: They just want your money every month on auto auto
13:57
Speaker 1: pay or whatever it is, and that's all they want.
13:59
Speaker 1: I meanwhile, last thing, we go to Atlanta and Atlanta, GA.
14:03
Speaker 1: That's where Falcons GM Matt Ryan recently said. In an
14:07
Speaker 1: interview this week, he said, quote, we don't really know
14:10
Speaker 1: what to expect at the beginning of training camp regarding
14:12
Speaker 1: the status of Michael Pennax Junior, the former Washington Husky
14:16
Speaker 1: quarterback who's got oh my aching knees, knees all jacked up.
14:20
Speaker 1: So it sounds like Atlanta will be without the former
14:24
Speaker 1: Washington quarterback at the start of training camp. They claim
14:28
Speaker 1: they have some hope that he'll show up somewhere early
14:32
Speaker 1: in camp. Matty Ice Matt Ryan the latest to put
14:36
Speaker 1: on the tap dance shoes and tap dance around that topic.
14:39
Speaker 1: While coach Kevin Stefanski said the team was not going
14:43
Speaker 1: to rush him, why would you just let him sit
14:46
Speaker 1: out as long as he wants? Don't rush him now?
14:49
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, Matt Ryan said, did say that
14:53
Speaker 1: Pennex is in a good spot right now, whatever that means.
14:58
Speaker 1: Does that mean he's in the Bahamas or something like that?
15:00
Speaker 1: In a good spot? I don't know, could be all right. Question,
15:03
Speaker 1: what does Michael Penneck's injury status is? Bum knee? Due
15:08
Speaker 1: to the Falcons quarterback competition, this was supposed to be
15:11
Speaker 1: a two man race with too a tongue of Iloa
15:14
Speaker 1: late of the Miami Dolphins and Michael Pennex So the
15:17
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. They tried to sell you on a quarterback competition.
15:22
Speaker 1: Some of you in the back of the room, you
15:24
Speaker 1: Dingleberry's you, Mama Lukes, You said, okay, this is good.
15:29
Speaker 1: Well that quarterback competition. At this point, as we sit
15:32
Speaker 1: here on this sinko demio, the quarterback competition is a
15:36
Speaker 1: one man jog around an empty track. That's it. That's
15:40
Speaker 1: all it is. And we checked in on to a
15:43
Speaker 1: tongue of iloa and we went to his campaign headquarters
15:47
Speaker 1: and they report now he is running unopposed in the
15:51
Speaker 1: quarterback competition unopposed. Have you noticed, I know the elections
15:56
Speaker 1: are coming up. Have you noticed a lot of these
15:59
Speaker 1: city things, there's no there's only one candidate, there's no
16:03
Speaker 1: one running against them. They're running unopposed. I looked at
16:06
Speaker 1: the ballot as an election where I live, and I
16:09
Speaker 1: was like, why are so many people running? For like
16:11
Speaker 1: judges where there's no one competing, Like that doesn't seem like,
16:15
Speaker 1: what's the point of having the election You can only
16:17
Speaker 1: vote one way anyway. That's a different conversation. So Michael
16:20
Speaker 1: Penis Junior cannot compete. No one else has this take.
16:24
Speaker 1: By the way, he cannot compete for the Atlanta starting
16:27
Speaker 1: job if he's not participating in practice. Now that's a
16:30
Speaker 1: hot take. That's the take of the day, of course,
16:33
Speaker 1: that's also reality. That is the reality of the situation
16:38
Speaker 1: is what it is, all right, And you can't call
16:41
Speaker 1: it a battle when one guy is stuck on a
16:44
Speaker 1: stationary bike and that's it, or go You've got to
16:49
Speaker 1: a tongue of Biloa. Who's not winning the job. He's
16:52
Speaker 1: inheriting the job. Like couch left out on the side
16:57
Speaker 1: of the road there and somebody's like, oh, I want
17:00
Speaker 1: that couch when nobody else wants it. It's kind of
17:02
Speaker 1: heavy to move. You gotta have a truck and say, okay,
17:04
Speaker 1: we'll pick it up clean. It'll see how that goes there.
17:08
Speaker 1: So it's not really a race, it's a walkover. It's
17:10
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. Tuo at this point is
17:13
Speaker 1: winning by forfeit the old southpaw quarterback to a tongue
17:17
Speaker 1: of by lower there and Pennix again is in a
17:19
Speaker 1: good spot. Well, good for him? Yes, what is that
17:23
Speaker 1: the massage room at training camp. That's where he's at
17:25
Speaker 1: getting a nice massage. And the longer he sits, the
17:29
Speaker 1: more that wooden chair the two is sitting on, that
17:32
Speaker 1: wooden chair starts to feel like an iron throne. Is
17:35
Speaker 1: what it feels like there, so default settings at quarterback.
17:39
Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mallord Show. We're heading to the
17:43
Speaker 1: next Mallor meet and greet this weekend. We'll be in
17:45
Speaker 1: the Boston area and the Commonwealth there a couple of dates.

22:44
Speaker 1: would put people on sometimes who I don't think could
22:47
Speaker 1: I don't know what language they spoke, but they got
22:49
Speaker 1: they got to fill in for him. It was it

30:08
Speaker 1: something like that. It's kind of a little awkward. I
30:12
Speaker 1: don't really know the inside. I don't think you can
30:14
Speaker 1: get around finway that well. I think the probably the
30:16
Speaker 1: Wusox Stadium is I don't think it's that old, so
30:19
Speaker 1: I would think we'd be able to get around well.
30:22
Speaker 1: Ben Stiller has been called out. That's an actor who
30:24
Speaker 1: used to be a big deal. Ben Stiller called out.

Speaker 1: and watch the games in Detroit. It's only game one.
31:07
Speaker 1: If it was game seven, I would say that's a
31:09

Speaker 1: guy that ran Amazon and made all that money.
32:26
Speaker 9: She's fifty six years old, Wow, but her face is

Speaker 9: only like five years that's right.
32:30
Speaker 1: Who's got a younger face her? Jerry Jones? So who
32:32
Speaker 1: knows that? She's a lovely lady? And my apologies, my apologiesteward.
32:40
Speaker 1: Oh man, she's fifty six, she's still she's going for
32:44
Speaker 1: it all right? Oh good, I saw the Rock showed up.
32:48
Speaker 1: He wore a they say, according to tabloids. I love
32:50
Speaker 1: my tabloids that the Rock wore a watch. You wanted
32:54
Speaker 1: to take a guess how much the watch was worth
32:56
Speaker 1: at the met galap Go round room. Here, I'm gonna
33:00
Speaker 1: go with, don't ruin the game, Lorena, I know you're
33:03
Speaker 1: about to ruin the game.
33:04
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with five hundred and forty nine thousand dollars.
33:07
Speaker 1: All right, that's reasonable. Thank you for that Cooper loop.
33:11
Speaker 1: How much do you think the I saw? I saw this?
33:13
Speaker 1: Oh you did? Okay, the Rock wore a watch that
33:16
Speaker 1: is worth three point three million dollars.
33:20
Speaker 7: Holy biscuits.
33:23
Speaker 1: Doesn't Tom Brady do this on the NFL on Fox stuff?
33:26
Speaker 1: He wears like really expensive one I have not I have.
33:29
Speaker 1: I have like an Apple watch that I've had for
33:31
Speaker 1: a while, but I don't like that's how much is
33:33
Speaker 1: that like a one hundred and fifty bucks? Yeah, that's
33:39
Speaker 1: a that I feel like, this is a bougie watch.
33:41
Speaker 1: I don't need. I don't I don't get it. If
33:45
Speaker 1: that's your thing, I guess you might as well flaunt it.
33:48
Speaker 9: You wear a watch, Coop, No, I can't wear anything.
33:52
Speaker 9: I have a hard enough time wearing my wedding ring.
33:55
Speaker 9: I just don't like stuff on my wrists or hands, or.
34:00
Speaker 1: I'll forget sometimes my wedding ring, I'll leave it. I
34:03
Speaker 1: take it off when I shower, and sometimes I'll forget
34:05
Speaker 1: to put it back on or whatever. And then it's
34:07
Speaker 1: not intentional, it's just I'm in a hurry.
34:09
Speaker 7: So when was the last time you wore your Apple Watch?
34:13
Speaker 1: Right now?
34:14
Speaker 7: Oh, you have it on? You wear it all the time.
34:16
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because it keeps track of my steps.
34:19
Speaker 9: That's the only reason I would want one.
34:20
Speaker 1: That's the only reason I have.
34:21
Speaker 9: Because I feel like a lot of times I'm like,
34:23
Speaker 9: you know, I don't I'm not always holding my phone,
34:25
Speaker 9: so I'm missing out on steps that i'm taking exactly.
34:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the reason I do it. And the other thing, too,
34:31
Speaker 1: is my my wife bought a oven which looks really good.
34:35
Speaker 1: It's beautiful, but it's not really functional. It doesn't have
34:37
Speaker 1: like a digital timer, so when I cook crap, I
34:40
Speaker 1: use my watch. But it looks great like the stove
34:43
Speaker 1: looks freaking great. Like you come into the house, you're like,
34:46
Speaker 1: it's like a retro, Like like, yeah, it's like a retro,
34:48
Speaker 1: And like I need a freaking timer to know how
34:51
Speaker 1: long my cookies are in or whatever, So I have
34:53
Speaker 1: to I have to time it on my watch, So
34:55
Speaker 1: I use the time or a ton And those are
34:57
Speaker 1: really the only two things the steps in the time,
35:00
Speaker 1: and I don't really use it for much of anything else.
35:03
Speaker 1: So that ends the watch portion of the conversation. We
35:06
Speaker 1: now move ahead in the broadcast as far as the
35:10
Speaker 1: gambling numbers for tonight the Lakers and the Thunder from
35:16
Speaker 1: down Under and that matchup. Oklahoma City a massive favorite,
35:23
Speaker 1: and they're the public betting on the Lake the Lakers.

Speaker 1: I know in DraftKings the Lakers are plus six seventy five.
35:31
Speaker 1: There's very little chance they're going to win that game.
35:34
Speaker 1: But the point spread it's like fifteen fifteen and a half.
35:39
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City is favored by fifteen and a half. And
