  Speaker 2: The coop scoop on entertainment'll be later as well, So
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: we'll work our way through the overnight, but our lead
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: this hour to begin the festivities, we start out from
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the bean counter's office, the NFL owners. I thought this
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: was interesting, and I have editorial control, so I'm gonna
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: start with this.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: The NFL owners feeling giddy.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: They've got that, as we like to say here, the
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: cheshire cat smile from ear to ear.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Now, the reason they have the cheshire.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Cat smile from ear to ear if you haven't hear
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: they had the league meetings, which were recently we talked
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: about them. The owners get together and they go to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: some resort and they sit around and they have cocktails
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and the expensive appetizers and the living the life of Riley,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and they do the business of the NFL.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: They have quarterly meetings. In the NFL. Life is tough.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: So if you didn't see this, perhaps perhaps not. We
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: learned now the industrial complex of football has brought in
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: twenty three billion, twenty three billion dollars in total revenue
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: in the just completed fiscal year. Now I realize this
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: is not some kind of Wall Street financial show. We're
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: not out here giving you financial advice. This has been
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: quite the week in the financial world. But that being
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: sick twenty three billion with a bean. How to put
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: that into context? Let me rephrase that in layman's terms
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: for those of you in the back of the room,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that means, okay, if my malor math is correct here,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: that means that each team member of the cartel of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: football is going to receive Each team will reseve a
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: big check, one of those cartoon sized checks, for four
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixteen million. That's four hundred and sixteen million
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: per team. That's payment from the NFL. That includes the
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: national media. You've got the sponsorship deals in there, You've
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: got the licensing revenue that is up eight point nine percent.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: How many businesses go up year to year almost ten
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: percent eight point nine percent from last year. They weren't
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: exactly struggling last year. They were not eating the Marcel
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and Brooklyn diet of Ramen noodles and.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: You know that stuff. But at three hundred and eighty
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: two million a year ago, but they were up.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: To four hundred and sixteen million per team per team.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question for the esteemed panel,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: which you are part of. What does the NFL bringing
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: in twenty three billion in revenue signify to you?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So I've got I've got those decades.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Cartoonish and Jurassic Park, and we will combine all of
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: these things together and we are going to make the
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Baba Ganoosh.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get some eggplant. We're gonna make the Baba ganush.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: So num burr, I said, numb burr. That's right, number one.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: So this is the way I will describe the NFL
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: right now, just like the Gilded Age in the NFL.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: It's the modern Gilded Age here in the pigskin world.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: And I really don't know there's any other way you
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: can describe it here, endless economic growth.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Check you've got that now, d're I did read back
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in the DWN not a long time. I'm trying not
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to read stuff like that.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But back in the old days, when I read a
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: few stories, not books, stories about the guilded days, I
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: recall reading about that. And this was when industries like
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: steel and railroads and oil.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Dominated the landscape in America.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And in modern NFL parlance, if you will modern NFL parlance,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: you've got Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, Jeffrey Lorie, pick your
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: favorite big shot fat cat owner, and they are. If
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: we're doing the guild and age right, if we're doing
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the Gilded Age of the NFL, and we're kind of
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: breaking it down scientifically here, and you've got those three owners,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: or again you can fill in the blank. Well, that's
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: like the Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller and JP Morgan
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: of modern times, Robert Barons captains of industry. You get
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: all the prestige and status, you get to be the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: star of the cocktail party on Long Island, the Beverly
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Hills or South Beach, where all the rich people hang
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: out with the aristocrats and the average Joe.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: That would be you and I.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: We are the average Joe, right, We're just plugging along,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: getting through life.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: The average Joe is.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Following the wisdom of the famous Dose Aks pitchman from
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: back in the day, the most interesting man in the world.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Stay thirsty, my friends, the great unwashed. We have an
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: unquenchable thirst for this and they know it. And it
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: is straight cash. Homie profits, profits, profits. It is an
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: idiot proof business at this point. Idiot proof how much so?
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four, the Browns now, this is go
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: back here. The Cleveland Browns, believe it or not, I
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: had the highest payroll in the NFL. Their payroll was
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: two hundred and forty six point four million. So if
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: they have the same payroll this year, assuming the payroll
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: is exactly the same, just for the purposes of this
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Mallard monologue, every NFL team gets four hundred and sixteen million. So, again,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: using some back of the napkin Mallard math, if you've
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: got four hundred sixteen million, and then you take away
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: two hundred and forty six point four million. That means
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: you're sitting on a surplus of one hundred and sixty
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: nine point six million. Well wait a minute, you gotta
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: pay everyone else. You got to Yeah, your payrolls fine,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: but you got to pay the employees for the team.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: You got other expenses, which is all true. But the
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: four hundred and sixteen million dollars pile of pesos does
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: not include your local media money, your ticket sales, your
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: sponsorship deals, all that other stuff. So it's really good, Like,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: it's really really good. I'm using the Gilded Age. You
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: could go Internet boom times back in the nineties, you
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: could go the gold Rush. I mean, whatever you want
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: to go with. Feel free now page two. We now
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: head to one hundred art. Rooney Avenue is where we go,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: as the Yensers continue to tap the toast.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Yes it is time.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Now we'll get it out of the way early our
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: obligatory Malard monologue on the life and times of Air
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: and Rogers. That's right, waiting for the decision from Aaron Rodgers.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Now there is said to be a bit of uneasiness.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Oh the drama.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Remember I mentioned a couple of days ago, Every day.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: There's gonna be a little something every day. There's a
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: little something, even if it's taken out of thin air,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: every day. So the latest report is there's there's a
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: bit of uneasiness in the in the building there.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: One of the insiders, I forget who, they're all the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: same reported that the quote the vibe, the vibe around
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the Steelers facility feels a little weird because no one
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: is sure whether or not Air and Rogers is going
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: to be there.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: The person in this story did add there.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Is no panic, oh no, no product here from the Steelers.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: But the current depth chart says what it says. Okay,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: so how concerned in the building should Mike Tomlin.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Be with the vibe the vibe around the Steelers.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go less than zero, Okay, less than
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin in the bubble in my head can give
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: that cartoonish over the top shoulder shrug. You know know
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: what I'm talking about, where your your shoulders are hiked
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: up to your ears and your your hands or flipped
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: palms up.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, and.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: You get that dramatic eye roll you can you can throw.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: In a mah. You know, that's a little extra pizzazz
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: on top of that.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: So if you look at the calendar on your smartphone,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: we are roughly one hundred and forty five like days,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I guess a little over one hundred and forty five
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: days away till the NFL regular season kicks off.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I mean we're sitting.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Here in April, and uh, it's it's down it's down
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: in in September, all right, I mean it's it's over
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: there in September.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: That is four months.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: So we are talking about four months of.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Time to figure it out. Just you just got to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: go and you've got to figure it out. You just
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: gotta you've just got to do it. Uh And and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that's it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Uh And and find someone And if you got to
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: put an ad online, I'm sure they will find someone
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: to play quarterback in Pittsburgh. And so, uh it is
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the status quote. Nothing nothing, nothing has changed. Right As
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin, the King of quotes, likes to say, he's
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: got a lot of Zinger's, a lot of one liners.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: We like Tomlin for that. He's good for business in
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: these parts. And Mike Tomlin famously famously likes to say
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the standard is the standard. So what exactly is the
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: standard in Pittsburgh?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Right? What is the standard?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Well, the standard is they win now because they went
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to seventeen games or so a couple of years ago,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: so that if it went nine games, right, you got
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: to finish with the winning record, or if.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: You win eight, you got to have a tie.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Right, So right now you've got Super Bowl you had.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I don't think Mason Rulis won a Super He's bounced, right.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: He was with the Steelers and then he went to
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans last year. He's the quarterback at this moment.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: And then they can add, what do they got? They
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: got some other beta quarterback that they can they can
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: pick up and they'll they'll draft somebody. So again, it's
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: like the level.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Of concern is minute, and it's like.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Even if you get Aaron Rodgers, as much time as
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: we have spent talking about him and taking up very
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: valuable talk radio really state on this on this show,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: as much as we've been doing it, we must point out,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: all right, we must point out that Rogers has sucked
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: for three years. He wasn't very good at the end
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: in Green Bay, right, he just wasn't and then he
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: went to the Jets, he got hurt, so that was
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I'll put that in a bad category. And then the
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: highlight was he ran out. Remember that first year with
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: the Jets. He ran out with the American flag on
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: nine to eleven. And then that was that was it.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: It was snap, crackle, pop, see you later, bye bye,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: as he was out for the year. So you had that,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: you know, that was that was part of the deal.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: All right, Now turn the page and final stop.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: We go to Augusta. That's right, we're going to the Masters.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: We're heading to the Masters. Did you watch any of this?
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Were you checking any of this out? And you no,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you did not?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: All right, So justin Rose Rose is your first round
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: leader at the I'm told by was that the eighty
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: ninth Masters. I think I'm correct on that. The eighty
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: ninth Masters. You got Roy McElroy, who early on you're like,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: all things are going pretty well there and then by
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the end was not good.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Just a generic brand round for him. At the Masters.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Scotti Scheffler trying to win a third green jacket. Whoopee
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: damdo he had a sixty eight. Phil Mickelson man, these guys,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: big names, not a lot of game left.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Man, they're at the end of the road there, right,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of game.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: So Phil Mickelson shot a seventy five at the Masters,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and he is actually in the danger zone of missing
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: the cut for the first time in almost ten years.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Twenty sixteen was the last time. That was the very
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: last time that he missed the cut. And all those
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: are fine stories if you're a golf nerd. None of them,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: none of them are worthy of a full Mallar monologue.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I've learned over the years to not get too up
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: over the first round of a golf tournament. Just don't
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: worry about it, don't spend too much time thinking about it. Now,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: there is a story that did go viral and that
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: involves guy Jose Luis Ballister. I believe it's his name.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Never heard of him, right, Yeah, he's entered the chat
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: now because that's the story.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: If I told you a couple.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Of days ago, this is going to be the story
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: everyone's talking about the Masters, you would say, well, I
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: don't know who that guy as well, he.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Must be must be leading the tournament.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: No, so, this guy Jose Luis Balister, the twenty one
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: year old reigning US Amateur Champion He's from Spain and
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: he was playing in his first Masters and he was
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: paired with the world number one Scottie Scheffler in the
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: first round on Thursday.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, so who cares well?
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Ballister was the trending topic because he in the iconic
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Raised Creek at the thirteenth l Now, I've never been
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: to the Master's. Actually, one of our listeners invited invited
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: me to go, and it was very kind. It was
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: very nice that he lives right there in Augusta or
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Augusta adjacent.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: He's like, hey, we'd love to have you come down.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: You can come, you know, for the weekend and all that.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: It was very nice.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Might of me and Danny g from the podcast I
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: do on the weekends, the Fifth Hour Podcast. Unfortunately unable
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: to take that offer, and I haven't received that offer
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: in recent years, so maybe the offer is off the table.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: But that is the holy land of golf.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: And Raised Creek is right in there, right they revere.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: They tell stories about Raised Creek, how amazing it is
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: and all that right there.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: At the thirteenth dole.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: So what do you think of a golfer urinating at
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: the famous Raised Creek during the Masters? My reaction at
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: this point it was knee slapping. It's need like the
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: fact that this guy is so obtuse. I'm always fascinated
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: by people that don't understand, like there's a lot of
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: TV cameras and stuff like that, there's a lot of attention,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: there's a lot going on and all that stuff. So
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I thought it was amusing. I also love the reaction
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: the golf snob freaking out about this. Why didn't he ask?
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Why didn't he ask? What are the marshals on the
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: course or the spotter or the or people who was
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: playing with anyone would have told him where the bathrooms are?
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Blasphemy some of these, some of these golf people. It's like,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: this is like peeing at Saint Peter's Basilica, right there
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the of the you know, the
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: holy facility.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: What are you doing?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Kick him out? Never, this is his last master's kick him.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Calm down, now, This is a story as old as time.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Think of a now defunct electronics store.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: In the northeast New York.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: In other plays the Whiz, nobody beats the Whiz.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I learned in I don't know how old that was
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: a Jurassic Park back in the classic movies Jurassic Park,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: remember that scene when you gotta when you gotta go,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: you gotta go. And this guy, uh will likely never
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: win a master's, but in this little sliver of time,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: he is the story of the masters. He did not
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: know the etiquette. I think that's I don't know if
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: you're allowed to just you know, pull it out. I
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: gotta tell you though, every time I don't go golfing off.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know about you boys, but every time I've
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: been golfing, and it usually happens. It used to be
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: once a year, and now it's like once every couple
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: of years. Inevitably somebody in the group that I'm golfing
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: with has to go and they go find a tree,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know, it's one of the advantages we
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: have as men. You know, you just gotta go.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: You go.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: And typically when I play golf, it's not on television,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: but the people freaking out, it's.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, it is it is.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: It's amusing because of the reaction. It's amusing because of
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: the person involved seemingly being obtuse, thinking they're just playing
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: like at the local public course on a random day
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: and no one's paying attention. It's it's quite amusing, all right.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: It is the Ben Mahlor Show, which you might find
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: amusing as well. If you would like to be part,

• 23:29
  Speaker 2: from LA, and people urinate on the streets all the time.

• 23:38
  Speaker 2: you want to urinate, go ahead. It's like a big

  Speaker 1: Actually I think this is the round one.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: But even before then, he was snapping photographs and he
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: did even sign some autographs. How many other camera people
• 31:22

  Speaker 2: got that same itch that he needs to scratch just
