  Speaker 1: And hopefully you're doing all right.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: We are back at it here all night, every night, podcast.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Every weekend, and we jump in with both feet.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And then later on we'll do a belly whopper as
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: we do have Mallard to the third degree.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Later who am I game? Way down the line, we'll.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Have Sports Jeopardy and the comedy club will open up.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: It's basically bashing our friend weed man hippie in Miami.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: But it'll be lame jokes of the week that'll be
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: coming up in our number three. But opportunity knocks.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: There you go. It's a preview. There's a preview of.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Lame jokes, all right, So our lead to begin, We're
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: gonna start with the grapevine. It is the silly season,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and when it is the silly season, you must go
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: on a rampage and enjoy every little nugget that comes out.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: So we start out deep in the heart of Texas.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: The plot thickens in Jerry's world. Have you heard the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: latest on this? Have you been following? No, you're okay?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Good? Good for you? Maybe not.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: So we learned now that the Cowboys thought they assumed,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you know what happens when you assume they were close
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to acquiring Raiders edge rusher Max Crosby. That's Max with
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: two xes, not three xes. Max Crosby via a trade
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: this week. However, apparently that did not happen because he's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Crosby's nd been traded and the other teams have been
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: sniffing around trying to get in there. And so now
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the offers that the Raiders have are supposedly greater than
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys offer, and I love that. The report said
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: that the offers for Crosby are potentially potentially.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Up to two first round draft picks.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So the Cowboys, again this is the scuttle butt, have
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: tapped out. They've tossed in the sponge here and pivoted
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to free agent defensive end or soon to be free
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: agent defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who the Bengals decided.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: They didn't want to pay anymore and so they got
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: rid of him. Get out of here, you're done. We
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: can have the NFL's worst defense without you. We don't
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: need you.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: There's a lot to this. So the question the reporting
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys are bowing out of the Max Crosby sweepsteaks.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: What's that storyline?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Tell you? So my thoughts on this. I've got QBC.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Madrid and large yellow sticker, and we will combine all
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of these things together and we're going to pull the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: pin on an audio.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Grenade, is what we're going to do.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, all right, So A I
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: like to use the time tested Mallard Schnaz test and
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: do the old smell test.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do that right now.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so smells like Jerry Jones is doing what Jerry
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Jones does best. He wins the off season. You can
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: rip them all you want, you can say that what
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: he does is a throwback to medieval times, but he
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: wins the all off season, the marketing circus under the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: big top fund for all ages, Come one, come a
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Jerry's great at it. Not just an owner, He's a
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: marketing maven, an absolute marketing maven. The Guide treats the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: NFL like QVC. Everything is a promotion, Everything is a
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: teaser trailer. Jerry leaks out, Dallas is out, the Sharks
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: starts circling. The debate shows start going on and on
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: about the cowboys. Of course, Jerry don't have to say
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: anything for the debate shows to talk about the cowboys.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Everyone gets all worked into a lather, all worked into
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: a ladder, and suddenly the cowboys are the lead story
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: yet again. And Max Crosby right now is sitting on
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: a folding chair somewhere out there, maybe a table, I think,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: maybe a chair, sitting on a chair there, And the
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: flea market is open for business. And then the Raiders
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: are walking around and Tom Brady's got his skinny pants on.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: You get the megaphone out there, who wants an all
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: pro pass rusher? Come on down, Come on down right now?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Do I hear two first round picks? How about two
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: first rounds? The second round pick? Now, somebody, here's my
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: theory on this. If somebody met the reserve price for
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Max Crosby.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Then he wouldn't be in Vegas.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And I just checked before we cracked the microphones and
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: he's still He's still with the Raiders, so he.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Hadn't been traded.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: There's no report of a trade happening, so that would
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: mean that that report was wishful thinking.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: And they did use the weasel word.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Remember this is the time of the year Pop goes
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: to weasel You got to pay attention to the weasel words.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: And so when you use words like potentially a right,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: potentially great weasel word, really solid weasel word, potentially.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just outstanding. So throw it all together.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And it hadn't happened in the trade of Max Crosby, Say, Jerry,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: is it possible Is there a world, a dimension in
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the multiverse where Jerry Owns leaked this out? And the Cowboys.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: They stay in the headlines. And then it's the art
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: of negotiation via trickeration, the old negotiation trickeration, smoke mirrors
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and a couple of planted stories to useful idiots in
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the media, and the message to Crosby. It's like a
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: dog whistle to Crosby. And I'll say, hey, listen, if
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: you want to play in Dallas, which is the Raiders
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: with a different logo on the helmet, then start raising
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: a ruckus in Vegas. You got to create chaos, a
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: hulla baloo if you want that. Now, keeping the theme
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: going page two here, as we continue all night on
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the Ben Maler Show, so we are told the Cowboys
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: are expected to shift their focus to instead of continuing
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to try to get Max Crosby to acquire when the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: new league year begins, free agent Trey Hendrickson of the
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: well he was with the Ben Gals. So let's pretend
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: for the purposes of this Malar monologue that that's not
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: some kind of squeeze play and that this is actually
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the real deal.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: And that's true. So the question.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: If Dallas is pivoting to Trey Hendrickson over Max Crosby,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: how big a downgrade.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Would that be for the Cowboys side by side?
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: So if you go side by side, if the Cowboys
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: do pivot from Max Crosby to Trey Hendrickson, I'm gonna
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: use a sandwich analogy, the hogi analogy here. It's similar,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: but not the same. For example, Max Crosby, if you
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: were to look not a list, but a big board,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Benny's big board of sandwiches, a properly made cheese steak.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: As the godfather of Fox Sports Radio, the great Tony Bruno,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: taught me years ago, you gotta have the proll alone,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: not the cheese whiz on that, the right kind of bread,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: the whole thing.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Throw that together.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: That's a perfect sandwich, the cheese steak sandwich with the onion,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the peppers and all that.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: That's the way to do it. Now.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Hendrickson, he's a sandwich. However, he's like a spicy chicken
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: sandwich that's been sitting out under a heating lamp at
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: a seven to eleven for the last twenty two hours.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Not quite the same, not quite the same, a sandwich,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: but not quite the same. Now, both these guys get sacks. However,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: when the run game comes towards Hendrickson, he undergoes a metamorphosis.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: He travels through time to Madrid, Spain. He becomes a bullfighter,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: a matador olay olay olay oley and running backs. They
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: just go who right by him? Now, Crosby. When you
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: look at his body of work here, he's a Swiss
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: army knife and he's able to play the run, and
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: he wants to play all the time, and all that
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: has been durable. And he's also a little bit younger
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: and in that business, obviously, that's a big deal. The
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: kind of a guy that is the centerpiece. Not that
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Hendrickson wouldn't be the centerpiece of the cowboys have a
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: bunch of no names and bums on defense, flotsam and jetsam.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: But he's more.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Instead of a Swiss army knife that has a little
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: bit of everything, he's more like a switchblade.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I doesn't have the other attachments, just a switchblade. That's it.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: That's all he's got. So Jerry is being a it
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: would appear again.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: How much of this is true and how much of
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: this is for public consumption? As Jerry likes to say,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: when things get boring around here, I.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Like to stir it up a little bit.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: So it looks from the outside that Jerry is being
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: a frugal shopper, that he's being a frugal shopper, and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: budget's tight, and it's true that those mega yachts and
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Jerry's got a really nice yacht last we heard, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: you need to have a bunch of people on staff
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: for that. If you want to enjoy the South of France,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: you got to have the internet on there.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: You gotta have the.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Greatest chefs and the cleaning people and servants and all
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: that on those mega yachts.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: And so if you spend a little more on Max Crosby.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Do you then have to get rid of your butler,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: your second or third butler.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: On the yacht. That's a tough decision.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I think we can all understand and relate to the
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: dilemma that Jerry would have. All right, now, last word
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to the belt Way, we go a player that we
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: have talked about way too much. I was saying about
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: this when I was coming in to the studio, was like,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: we have talked about this guy way too much, considering
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: how few impact moments he's had in his career. Now
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: who am I talking about? That would be Brandon Auk,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the wide receiver who I guess is technically part of
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers. I guess the new league year
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: starts next week. So there is some chatter, and we
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: love our chatter, that the Commanders could sign Brandon Auck
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: to a one year proven deal, a one year prove
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: it deal if the forty nine Ers.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: End up doing they release.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Them, which I assume we all assume that's going to happen.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: It seems like.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: That's obviously the Niners have pretty much said they're gonna
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: get rid of him, whether they trade them.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Or release them.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: More likely you would just release them, because why would
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: you trade for a player who's going to be released anyway?
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: So the question on this one what stands out, if anything,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: what stands out to you about Washington, the team formerly
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: known as the Redskins looking to add wide receiver Brandon
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Iyuk on a prove it contract.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: So the first thing is rather clear. I think everyone
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you can. You know, the.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Person in the back of the room over, the person
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: in the way in the back of the warehouse is
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: not even listening.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: They know.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: The NFL motto is never give up on talent, even
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: when the talent, like in this ca This is clearly
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: given up on their own frontal lobe. You just don't
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: give up on the talent, you don't, you know. And
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: there's a wide receiver right now in jail who killed
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: a young woman and her dog. They burned up alive
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: because of him, and he's gonna get out of jail
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: relatively soon, and someone's gonna give him a tryout. That's
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: how the NFL operates. That's how they do things there. Obviously,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: this is not that this is much much different. But
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Brandon auc has a large yellow sticker that has been
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: slapped on his back and it.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Reads buyer, Beware, buyer, Beware.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: A dynamic separation merchant, an artist of separation who has
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: also managed to separate himself from his teammates. His coach
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: is not his own ego, though he cannot separate himself.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: From his own ego.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: And after that Frisco fiasco where he cost himself a
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: cool twenty seven.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Million, you realize in the annals of the.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: NFL there are only a handful of people in the
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: history of the NFL that have blown twenty seven million
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: dollars of their money guaranteed loot. There's a guy in
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: jail that was going around robbing banks to go to
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Chiefs games and to gamble. And that guy didn't get
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: twenty seven million when he was robbing banks. This guy
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: gave up twenty seven million, the steepest exit tax to
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: leave California yet and so in NFL history, and he's
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: now looking to have what make it prove it deals,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: that's what he's got.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Which even that, you're like, why does he even have that?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: What is he out to prove?
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: He's out to prove what that He's not some kind
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: of high speed social media addicted powder keg.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: And that's what is it?
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: If the commanders and then the commanders are in this
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: weird spot. They came out of know where, they had
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: sucked for years, They came out of nowhere. It got
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: to the Final four and then got smoked in the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: final four, had that magic playoff run. Jayden Daniels looks
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: like he's gonna snap at any moment.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: He snapped last year.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: And the commanders are terrible, And so if they pull
• 17:05

• 24:21
  Speaker 2: The Cowboys are the Raiders with just a different logo

  Speaker 1: Danny G and.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: The rest of Raider Nation assured me that Max will

  Speaker 2: Marcus Steve writes, and he says, are we sure that
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Brandon I just refuse to play for the San Francisco
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers because he was tired of the living
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: in San Francisco with all the homeless and the drug
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: addicts or not? He wrote, Nor, I think he meant not. Yeah,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: there's an R and a T near each other on
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: the keyboard, So.
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: I think the drug addicts were very friendly and welcoming
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: while we were in Frisco.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, and I if you need any kind of fentanyl,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: that's the spot right there.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they would have loved to share.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: And the cool thing when you walk the streets of
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: downtown San Francisco, it's it's like an obstacle course, you know,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: do you step over the guy who's taking a nap.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Because he had too much too many drugs, or do
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you walk around them? It's you have to decide that
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: when you're walking, like, I don't know. I do like that.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: They pushed everyone over a couple of blocks when the
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: super Bowl was there, so then people that were shuttled
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: in on limousines like Pat McAfee were.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, I don't understand what everyone's talking.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: About Live the Overnight Radio Life Buddy, walk a few
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: blocks over.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: It's an eye opening experience.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Michael writes in says, hey, Ben always a plus on
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: the monologue. But it doesn't matter what you say, Tom
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: in Texas will always hate you. How dare you talk
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: about the Cowboys football or anything related to sports. I'd
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: like to hear blind Scott have a fight with that. Yeah,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: he says, yeah, all right, well there you go. Anyway,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Let's see here. Now we do have someone that would
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: like to do an octagon on the on the show.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Let me see here, let me go to him. Is
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: he online right now? Is that? Is that I think, so, okay, no,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: he is.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to Lucky Tony, who is throwing down
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: the gauntlet. Is this correct, Lucky Tony? Are you throwing
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: down the gauntlet here, Tony?
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: Well, if the guys online. If not, I'm just trying
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: to entertain the masses, you know what I mean?
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: All right? All right, all right, so here's he's always okay,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: all right, well he is online. So this is gonna
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: be a we didn't plan this, We didn't plan this. Well,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Lucky Tony, you're you'd like to get into the octagon
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: with blind Scott?
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Is that correct? Yes, you're nodding your head, yes, over there. Okay.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: So the verbal Octagon, if you're new to the show,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: is three.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Rounds of verbal sparring and they go back and forth. Now,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: the problem I have with this is Lucky Tony can't
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: go more than ten seconds without cursing, and if you curse,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: you lose points, and if you curse twice you're disqualified,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: you lose.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: So I'm a concern about that. But if everyone wants
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: does anyone say no to this octagon? Does anyone say no?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Any objections?
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: I mean, I don't think it'll last very long.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: But okay, all right.
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: Well listen ready on the jump button.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right?
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Uh, And the issue here, Lucky Tony is you do
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: not like blind Scott.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Is that correct? You have an issue with blind Scott?
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Would that be accurate?
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: Said man? I'm just I'm just here to punch.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I got you. Hold on and put
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: him on.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Let's see if Scott's blind Scott, are you accepting or
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: declining the challenge of Lucky Tony in New yor call give.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: Me a couple of seconds, or this is good radio.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: This guy's a piece of crap. He swears he eats
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: my radio. Time out, Tony, I gotta tell you something.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: But no, no, no, we haven't started, Scott.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: We have not started yet. We have not started yet. Okay,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: all right, all right, let's uh why don't we here.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Here's the way we're gonna do this on the fly.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: You listen to our live coverage. We're gonna workshop this.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: We're gonna do this right now in real time. So
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: we've got Lucky Tony. I normally do this big introduction.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: We're not gonna do the big introduction because this just
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: popped up.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: On my radar. So we'll just announce the verbal octagon, which.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: If you're you've never heard, it's three rounds of just
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: insults and you gotta keep it clean and all that,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: which is always an issue here. We do these semi regularly,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: although we've gone a long time at times without out
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: doing them. There's three rounds, so the opening round the
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: way this is gonna work. The opening round is only
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: ten seconds, which seems like no amount of time, but
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: trust me, it's often too long. And then we'll go
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: back and forth. Round two is twenty seconds. Round three
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: is the bloody knuckles yapping, and we're gonna limit that
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: to twenty five seconds if we even make it to
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: round three.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: So, gentlemen, we're gonna do this right now. Do we
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: have a bell here?
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Do we have the boxing bell ready to signal the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: start of this battle?
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Royalty boxing bell?
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: Are gone?
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Wow? I know this is the boxing bell. This is
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: boxing range, this is verbal boxing. It is the sweet science.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: And we will go to the judges court card you'll
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: be able to vote on this. We'll have the vote
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: of the people, the vote of the people on X.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: So again, three rounds, gentlemen, I've just given you your
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: instructions in this talk o rama again.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: We must have a clean fight.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: If we have to dump you, and we have to
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: do it multiple times, you will immediately be disqualified. We
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: will stop about and the other person will be declared
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: the winner. And that's just the way it goes. We
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: know what you can and can't say. Gentlemen, good luck,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: protect yourself at all times. We're gonna put ten seconds
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: on the clock. Round one verbal octagon. We start out
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: with Lucky. This is Blind Scott versus Lucky Tony. Lucky

  Speaker 2: and you can vote on who you thought won that,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: and we'll go to the judges' scorecards.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I will go first.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: I thought round one. I gave Round one to Tony.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I thought he obviously knew what he wanted to do.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Scott was pretty much blindsided on this. I thought Round
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: one Tony was prepared, he had some material. They were
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: obviously scripted lines. I thought they were pretty good personal
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: assault lines. Scott seemed a little flustered.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: In round one, as you would expect.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I think he repeated some of the material that if
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I wrote down my notes right, I think it was
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: round one he repeated some of the lines there from Tony.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Round two that is where Scott really showed that he
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: is a maestro in the octagon. It was a personal assault,
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: It was vicious, It was below the belt. It was
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: just Scott throwing haymakers and mollywop. It just mollywopped Tony.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Tony was staggered. Tony was staggered on my scorecard. So
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: round one I gave to Tony ten nine. Round two
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: I gave to Scott ten nine. I thought Scott really
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: nailed it and didn't prepare and they just went below
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: the belt and nasty and all that stuff. Now round three,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: so going in a round three it was dead even
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: and then one of the greatest rounds in verbal octagon
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: history that will never ever be matched if somebody can
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: try to.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Do it again, but it will never reach the same level.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Where lucky Tony decided that he would just not allow
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: scott voice to be heard by saying I believe he
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: said Jigawatt over he was singing.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Like the word yes, and initially I was worried. I
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: didn't know what that meant.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I thought, well, maybe that's something we shouldn't have on
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: the ringo, according to the Internet, is from Back to
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: the Future, part two, so I didn't. I don't remember
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: back to I remember Back to the Future the originally
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: I saw it back to the Future too, but I
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: don't remember. So anyway, I thought that was a ten
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: eight round. So I give the wind to a lucky Tony.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: What about you, Lorraina, how did you see the fight?
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Quickly?
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, I'm not as good as you at
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: uh grading this, but that's fine.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: That's fine.
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: Lucky Tony. I could tell he was premeditated. He was
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: sitting there all day, like, what am I going to
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: say in this verbal octagon that I am pre planning?
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: He did great.
• 39:42
  Speaker 11: I loved it.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: I thought he was you know, so you give the
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: wind to Tony well kind of kindness?
• 39:49
  Speaker 11: Yes, all right?
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: That was technically technically asked Tony one for me.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, Coop, how did you see the fight here? Cooper?
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like you looked at my notes.
• 39:57
  Speaker 10: It was almost exactly what I was going to to say.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 40:01
  Speaker 10: Tony was obviously the one that called for this fight,
• 40:04
  Speaker 10: so he was ready in the first round. Scott wasn't.
• 40:07
  Speaker 10: But then, like you said, I thought, second round, Scott,
• 40:09
  Speaker 10: you know, came through and did what Scott does.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Killed it. He killed it, he did.
• 40:13
  Speaker 10: But then the last round I couldn't hear Scott. I
• 40:16
  Speaker 10: could only hear Tony. So we got to give it
• 40:18
  Speaker 10: to Tony.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: All right, So we have given the vote to lucky Tony.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: If you would like to vote the vote of the people.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: A lot of people love Tony singing Oho Texho says,
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: I got to give the edge to Lucky Tony for
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: successfully drowning Scott's voice with the he said the jigabt
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: chan or whatever it was. JJ from Wrentt and says,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: oh my goodness, Ben, we need to do this segment
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: more often. You should have seen how my co workers
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: were looking at me laughing so loudly, and just Josh says, hey, hey, ho,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: jiggle what.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: It was.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: It was once I got past the thought that maybe
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: we had screwed this up. But anyway, all right, so
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: you can vote. You can vote real quick to who
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: am I game? My birth name is Denniston. I'm known
• 41:02
