- 2:16Speaker 1: Globe Trotters when I was a kid and I didn't
- 2:18Speaker 1: realize that the Washington Generals were actors. I thought they
- 2:22Speaker 1: were real and I was blown away about how bad
- 2:25Speaker 1: they were I was like, Wow, that's like the worst
- 2:26Speaker 1: basketball team ember. That was a team they played all
- 2:28Speaker 1: the time. But I don't know if they still play
- 2:29Speaker 1: them or not. Anyway, our lead this hour. We talked
- 2:33Speaker 1: earlier about the Monday night game, a surprising result as
- 2:37Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions kicking the tukis of the Baltimore Ravens.
- 2:43Speaker 1: So it was only an eight point game. But if
- 2:45Speaker 1: you saw the game at the line of scrimmage in
- 2:47Speaker 1: the trenches, trench warfare, dominate, blocking and tackling, blocking and tackling,
- 2:52Speaker 1: blocking and tackling, and the Lions did better there. But
- 2:54Speaker 1: we move on from that. We have a developing story
- 2:58Speaker 1: out of Jerry's world, and that is where star defensive
- 3:02Speaker 1: end and former Dallas player Micah Parsons, who was one
- 3:07Speaker 1: of the faces of the Dallas Cowboys defense for four seasons,
- 3:14Speaker 1: barely remember this, but apparently he didn't do quite enough,
- 3:19Speaker 1: quite enough to get one of those Jumbo Tron video tributes,
- 3:24Speaker 1: the thing of a Jigs on the Jumbo Tron, the
- 3:28Speaker 1: what you might call it. Now, what is my evidence?
- 3:30Speaker 1: My evidence is the Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones
- 3:36Speaker 1: said that the team will not will not have a
- 3:40Speaker 1: tribute video for Micah Parsons when he returns to the
- 3:44Speaker 1: scene of the crime in Jerry's world this weekend. Do
- 3:50Speaker 1: you agree or disagree with the Dallas Cowboys position that
- 3:54Speaker 1: they will not will not be putting one of those
- 3:58Speaker 1: video tributes up on the score. So I've got tractor supply,
- 4:02Speaker 1: tow truck, and kiss and we will combine all of
- 4:07Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to make some
- 4:09Speaker 1: chicken wings, just like the ones Moving Man Matt made.
- 4:12Speaker 1: He told me in his truck right here out in
- 4:15Speaker 1: front of the studio. So why not live the life?
- 4:19Speaker 1: That's a As Loraina pointed out, that truck is bigger
- 4:22Speaker 1: than most studio apartments, at least in Manhattan. I don't
- 4:24Speaker 1: know about it in La but it's a massive, massive, huge,
- 4:28Speaker 1: that's what she said. All right, So number one, all right,
- 4:34Speaker 1: unpopular opinion to some, but the proper opinion to most.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Jerry Jones got this one right. Don't cave Jerry, don't
- 4:44Speaker 1: do it. Don't cave Jerry Jones. Good job by you. Listen,
- 4:48Speaker 1: Michah Parsons, he didn't want to be a cowboy anymore,
- 4:52Speaker 1: otherwise he would have stayed there, right, So the Cowboys
- 4:54Speaker 1: ended up trading him to Green Bay. Now, all of
- 4:56Speaker 1: a sudden, he loves lambeau Field and all that, and
- 4:59Speaker 1: I hope he enjoys that. But Michael Parsons was a
- 5:02Speaker 1: He was a box score stuffer, is what he was.
- 5:05Speaker 1: We talked about it at the time he was playing
- 5:08Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. This is not revisionist history. We're talking
- 5:10Speaker 1: about it right now. But hollow numbers, s p stat padding,
- 5:16Speaker 1: a lot of stat padding there. Now, this is not
- 5:19Speaker 1: some Super Bowl darling that was the MVP and dominated
- 5:23Speaker 1: the Super Bowl for the Dallas Cowboys. In the big picture,
- 5:27Speaker 1: you look at he's like, well listen, Jerry Jones and
- 5:31Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys look at Michah Parsons so like it
- 5:33Speaker 1: was like a what' even a cup of coffee And
- 5:36Speaker 1: wasn't even a cup of coffee his time in Dallas
- 5:38Speaker 1: and Parsons is basically a guy who loads up garbage
- 5:43Speaker 1: time fantasy points. And he did it time after time
- 5:47Speaker 1: after time, right, And it's all the kind of guy
- 5:50Speaker 1: like in the equivalent would be in basketball, where the
- 5:54Speaker 1: guy will go out there and drop twenty two points
- 5:57Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and like woll it's impressive and
- 5:58Speaker 1: then you're like, well they were actually down by thirty
- 6:01Speaker 1: at the start of a quarter, and said, well, it
- 6:04Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. It's not that big a deal. So
- 6:06Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is actually shockingly the grown up in the
- 6:11Speaker 1: room on this Micah Parsons video tribute thing, because the
- 6:14Speaker 1: thing that so many people in sports do, they're all
- 6:17Speaker 1: a bunch of SAPs, and it's heartstrings marketing and all that,
- 6:21Speaker 1: and we've got to give everyone a video tribute and
- 6:23Speaker 1: all that. I love the fact that Cowboys are not
- 6:25Speaker 1: doing it. I love it. Jerry Jones is saying, hey,
- 6:29Speaker 1: you might not think we have standards, but we have
- 6:31Speaker 1: standards here with the Dallas Cowboys, and we're not just
- 6:34Speaker 1: gonna throw a state funeral every time some guy leaves
- 6:38Speaker 1: and we trade him to another team. That's not how
- 6:40Speaker 1: this operates. Right. Thank god, there's somebody in sports unlike
- 6:44Speaker 1: that Damn Dodgers, right with Clayton Kershaw, who they had
- 6:47Speaker 1: a losing record when Kershaw started the playoffs, and the
- 6:50Speaker 1: damn Dodgers they went down to track their supply, got
- 6:54Speaker 1: some shovels, and they started digging the pitching rubber up
- 6:58Speaker 1: for Clayton Kershaw. Like it was some kind of religious experience.
- 7:01Speaker 1: It was so stupid, so dumb. I mean, nobody did
- 7:05Speaker 1: anyone over there say what are you doing? You morons?
- 7:08Speaker 1: Well look how stupid we look. He's not dead. What
- 7:12Speaker 1: do you do? At least the Cowboys aren't like the Dodgers,
- 7:14Speaker 1: so good for them. Good for them. And Michael Parsons
- 7:18Speaker 1: is the Dak Prescott of defense. He is right, all sizzle,
- 7:24Speaker 1: no steak. It's a junk stat machine, is what it is.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. You know, a better cop would be I
- 7:32Speaker 1: got this NFL's Russell Westbrook. NFL's Russell Westbrook, where you
- 7:38Speaker 1: look at the numbers and you're like, WHOA, get a
- 7:41Speaker 1: little turned on here? Those are good numbers, right, And
- 7:44Speaker 1: then you're like, well, wait a minute. Another triple double,
- 7:47Speaker 1: another triple double, another triple double, meaningless, meaningless, empty, empty,
- 7:52Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones, of all people, of all people, Jerry
- 7:56Speaker 1: Jones drawing a line in the same good old Jerry Jones.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Here.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Imagine that Jerry freaking Jones acting like the adult at
- 8:07Speaker 1: the table. Yeah, that's things I cannot believe, things I
- 8:12Speaker 1: cannot believe. There tells you all you need to know,
- 8:16Speaker 1: all you need to know about the Micah Parsons experience
- 8:19Speaker 1: there in Jerry's world, and if Jerry, of all people,
- 8:24Speaker 1: who loves a promotion as much as anybody, but he's like, well,
- 8:28Speaker 1: the Cowboys don't retire numbers. They're not going to do
- 8:31Speaker 1: a sizzle video for a guy that didn't want to
- 8:34Speaker 1: be with the Cowboys and then took off be a
- 8:37Speaker 1: trade and you know, not like the Cowboys miss him.
- 8:41Speaker 1: They would have sucked if he had stayed there. Now
- 8:43Speaker 1: they suck without him, but they're the same team they
- 8:45Speaker 1: would have been, whether Parsons is there or not. A
- 8:47Speaker 1: bad team. Now, speaking of the Cowboys, we have wide
- 8:52Speaker 1: receivers C. D. Lamb, who could miss now three to
- 8:56Speaker 1: four weeks because of a high ankle spraye, oh my ankle. Yeah,
- 9:02Speaker 1: he suffered that in the loss to the chicag Go
- 9:06Speaker 1: Bears over the weekend there in Chicago. So coach Brian
- 9:10Speaker 1: Schottenheimer did not did not put a timetable on the
- 9:15Speaker 1: possibility of Ceedee Lamb returning. He said, quote, he'll miss
- 9:18Speaker 1: some time, but CD is a guy who heals quickly
- 9:23Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, He'll do
- 9:24Speaker 1: everything this power blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
- 9:26Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. Al right, so question,
- 9:30Speaker 1: how do you see things working out for the Cowboys
- 9:34Speaker 1: without Ceedee Lamb for let's say the next month, the
- 9:38Speaker 1: next month, the Cowboys without Ceedee Lamb so much like
- 9:43Speaker 1: the Cowboys with Michaeh. Parsons or without Michael Parsons, I
- 9:46Speaker 1: don't see much of a change. I don't see much
- 9:50Speaker 1: of a change looking at the Dallas Cowboys there and
- 9:53Speaker 1: they have been serving up humdrum football. Now, the Giants
- 9:57Speaker 1: game was exciting until you realize it's embarrassing that the
- 10:00Speaker 1: Cowboys had to go overtime neck and neck with Russell
- 10:04Speaker 1: Wilson and Jackson Dart to get the win. That's embarrassing.
- 10:08Speaker 1: And then you look at the Cowboy roster said, well
- 10:10Speaker 1: a humdrum and all that. When you look at the
- 10:12Speaker 1: Cowboys set up outside of Ceedee Lamb and Dak Prescott
- 10:18Speaker 1: a lot of generic a lot of generic brands. So now
- 10:20Speaker 1: I'm okay with generic brand because you save a little money,
- 10:23Speaker 1: save a little money, I'm okay with that. And the
- 10:26Speaker 1: moneyball adage has always gone when anytime, anytime a star
- 10:29Speaker 1: player gets hurt. The adage from moneyball is it is
- 10:33Speaker 1: impossible to replace the player, but it is possible to
- 10:37Speaker 1: recreate him in the aggregate. That's the that's the big
- 10:41Speaker 1: nerd word they use in the aggregate. So you multiple
- 10:44Speaker 1: people step up and then the collective will end up
- 10:49Speaker 1: in a situation where they they're in better shape or
- 10:53Speaker 1: at least as good as shape. But again, you look
- 10:55Speaker 1: at the roster and there's a lot of flotsam and
- 10:56Speaker 1: jetsam on the roster. It just this, that's the this
- 11:00Speaker 1: team has been put together, and you takeam ceedee. Lambs
- 11:05Speaker 1: had some issues. He didn't play particularly well in Game
- 11:07Speaker 1: one against the Philadelphia Eagles. We ripped him on a
- 11:10Speaker 1: mal of monologue after that game. But you look at everything,
- 11:14Speaker 1: and so you do the math on this. You've got
- 11:16Speaker 1: a quarterback who's good but not great, Dak Prescott, good
- 11:21Speaker 1: but not great. You've got a running game which is
- 11:25Speaker 1: just average, nothing special, just average running game. You've got
- 11:29Speaker 1: a bunch of receivers who could not separate from a
- 11:32Speaker 1: folding chair at this particular point. So you've got the
- 11:36Speaker 1: secondary receivers for the Cowboys are Jalen Tolbert and Cavante Turpin.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Those are the receivers for the Cowboys. So Jerry Jones
- 11:44Speaker 1: needs a tow truck, is what he needs?
- 11:46Speaker 3: Right.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb was the was the guy the last couple years,
- 11:50Speaker 1: at least in games against lesser opponent. Ceedee Lamb would
- 11:54Speaker 1: win one on one matchups and stretch the field and
- 11:58Speaker 1: make a play and break up open from the benign
- 12:03Speaker 1: of the normal Cowboys. Now he said, what about George
- 12:05Speaker 1: Pickens by George, And that is true. George Pickens is there,
- 12:10Speaker 1: and the scouting report on George Pickens is talented but moody.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Talented but moody. They also have tight end Jake Ferguson,
- 12:18Speaker 1: who's essentially a glorified safety valve. So he's in the
- 12:21Speaker 1: offense as well, and yeah, that'll work out great, right, Well,
- 12:25Speaker 1: what could possibly be wrong? And then you've got Brian
- 12:27Speaker 1: Schottenheimer and you're like, well, what's going on here? And
- 12:30Speaker 1: we know he's a sock puppet and all that. This
- 12:32Speaker 1: guy has been fired more times, he's had more jobs
- 12:34Speaker 1: around football. He's been fired more than a cannon at
- 12:38Speaker 1: a revolutionary war re enactment. Okay, he has had by
- 12:43Speaker 1: my count, twelve jobs around big time in college football
- 12:47Speaker 1: in the NFL, from the Saint Louis Rams to the
- 12:51Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. Owner of his dad hired him, Syracuse,
- 12:54Speaker 1: USC Georgia, the Redskins, they were called the Redskins. Then
- 12:57Speaker 1: we're allowed to say at the San Diego Chargers, the Colts,
- 13:00Speaker 1: the Seahawks, the Jaguars, and now the Dallas Cowboys. So
- 13:04Speaker 1: he is going, we're supposed to think that he's going
- 13:06Speaker 1: to scheme up George Pickens and some of those other
- 13:09Speaker 1: receivers to make up for Ceedee Lamb. Police Now maybe
- 13:14Speaker 1: Jerry Jones will. Of course, Jerry is saying everything's everything's fine.
- 13:17Speaker 1: So let's assume the position. Let's assume the position that
- 13:21Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb is going to miss. Let's say he misses
- 13:23Speaker 1: four games, right, four games. So if he misses four games,
- 13:27Speaker 1: the Cowboys go where they go one in three, If
- 13:31Speaker 1: everything goes right, they go two and two. Defense. I
- 13:34Speaker 1: say the defense bails him out. Is that even possible
- 13:36Speaker 1: the way the Cowboys are playing defense at this particular point.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Now that being said, let's be honest here though, all right,
- 13:42Speaker 1: this is a soft, marshmallowy football team. This is a
- 13:46Speaker 1: soft football team. They have a soft coach and they
- 13:50Speaker 1: have a soft quarterback, and it's it's all the same.
- 13:52Speaker 1: And so even with Ceedee Lamb, things were bad. They
- 13:56Speaker 1: were not good. When they had Ceedee Lamb, they were bad.
- 13:58Speaker 1: And so now Lamb, you take him out of the equation,
- 14:01Speaker 1: and now they'll get exposed more. And so they're flashy, fragile,
- 14:07Speaker 1: all of that. And when the lights get bright, when
- 14:11Speaker 1: it's light bright, and they'll shrink again, shrink again, sure enough,
- 14:16Speaker 1: because that's what they do all right.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Now.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Final point, So staying with the theme of the hour,
- 14:22Speaker 1: and we mentioned the Baltimore Ravens the worst defense in
- 14:25Speaker 1: the NFL this season following Week threes games which ended
- 14:29Speaker 1: on Monday, Monday, Monday, A just an absolute horrific performance
- 14:35Speaker 1: by the Ravens. They give up thirty eight points and
- 14:37Speaker 1: the Lions did what they want well. The Dallas Cowboys
- 14:41Speaker 1: are not much better at this particular point. They're not
- 14:45Speaker 1: much better than the Baltimore raven In fact, the Dallas
- 14:49Speaker 1: Cowboys right now, if you look at the overall standard,
- 14:51Speaker 1: Cowboys are thirtieth in the NFL in defense. In total defense,
- 14:56Speaker 1: they're thirtieth out of thirty two teams. That's not good.
- 14:59Speaker 1: I didn't play in the NFL, but where I come from,
- 15:01Speaker 1: that's not good. That is not good. Now I bring
- 15:05Speaker 1: this up because you've got some underlying conditions here that
- 15:08Speaker 1: the Cowboys hired a high falutant, supposedly defensive genius. The
- 15:12Speaker 1: guy got a head coaching job in the NFL based
- 15:14Speaker 1: on his defensive pedigree, Matt Iberflus, who was the coach
- 15:18Speaker 1: of the Chicago Bear. So did you see that the
- 15:20Speaker 1: Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer encouraging, encouraging the defensive coordinator, Matt Eberflus,
- 15:28Speaker 1: to simplify, to simplify the playbook, to try to fix
- 15:34Speaker 1: this terrible defense. So what is Shatzi What is he
- 15:39Speaker 1: really saying here? What is the head coach of the
- 15:41Speaker 1: Cowboys really saying with all? So, if you just take
- 15:45Speaker 1: your machete and you just cut through the crap, just
- 15:49Speaker 1: cut through the crap with the machete. There, Schottenheimer is
- 15:52Speaker 1: essentially spelling it all out for you don't really have
- 15:56Speaker 1: to dig that deep. There's not a lot of nuance
- 15:58Speaker 1: to it when a coach says that he wants to
- 16:03Speaker 1: simplify the approach. When that is said, Okay, he's telling
- 16:08Speaker 1: you my players are dumb, the dumb, dumb, dumb, they're
- 16:13Speaker 1: so stupid, the Dallas Cowboy players. They can't understand the scheme,
- 16:18Speaker 1: cannot do it, they don't understand. They're not that right.
- 16:22Speaker 1: That's what he's saying. That's it. Forget all the coach
- 16:26Speaker 1: speak and all it's when you say simplifying, what you
- 16:29Speaker 1: are saying is you're really saying, my guys are unable
- 16:34Speaker 1: to process what we are trying to get them to do,
- 16:37Speaker 1: cannot get it. Well, that's that's what they're saying. So
- 16:40Speaker 1: they're turning to the thing that came out of the military.
- 16:43Speaker 1: It's called the Kiss method. And that's keep it simple, stupid,
- 16:48Speaker 1: the Kiss method. And we've seen this movie before, sitting
- 16:52Speaker 1: in this chair over the years, we've seen this from
- 16:54Speaker 1: time to time and went in doubt. You always strip
- 16:57Speaker 1: it down, down, down, down, down, and you strip it
- 17:00Speaker 1: down and you handhold, and you do the ABC's and
- 17:05Speaker 1: the one two threes, and you treat them like they're
- 17:07Speaker 1: playing pee wee football. Professional football players treated like they're
- 17:12Speaker 1: playing pee wee football, And don't bury the lead, mo man,
- 17:16Speaker 1: We're not gonna bury the lead. This all comes right after,
- 17:20Speaker 1: right after, of course, the famous Micah Parsons trade, who
- 17:23Speaker 1: will not be honored on the jumbo tron when he
- 17:25Speaker 1: goes back with Green Bay this weekend. But the argument
- 17:28Speaker 1: for Micah Parsons is he's the eraser. Of course, we
- 17:30Speaker 1: pointed out a lot of empty stats on that, a
- 17:33Speaker 1: lot of empty stats. So Dallas we mentioned now thirtieth
- 17:37Speaker 1: in well, they're thirtieth in total defense, they're twenty eighth
- 17:41Speaker 1: in scoring defense. Cowboys allowing thirty point seven points per
- 17:44Speaker 1: game this season. The only teams averaging more points on
- 17:48Speaker 1: average are the Chicago Bears, the New York Jets, the Titans,
- 17:53Speaker 1: and the Dolphins. That's it, and even worse in as
- 17:57Speaker 1: we mentioned in the total defense. So you got shot
- 18:00Speaker 1: who's doing a shawnny job as the head coach there.
- 18:03Speaker 1: He knows it's bad, he knows it stinks, and so
- 18:06Speaker 1: that's why he's talking about we need to quote simplify.
- 18:09Speaker 1: It's all about simplifying the playbook there, because right now,
- 18:13Speaker 1: you are trying to polish a turd, is what you're
- 18:16Speaker 1: trying to do. You're trying to polish a turd. That
- 18:20Speaker 1: is what you are attempting to do. That is the
- 18:22Speaker 1: reality of the situation. You can spray cologne on it
- 18:24Speaker 1: if you want little split splits just like that. You
- 18:28Speaker 1: can do that. You can wrap it in tinfoil if
- 18:31Speaker 1: you choose to do that. Whatever, it still stinks, it
- 18:34Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It does not smell good. And Dallas's defense,
- 18:38Speaker 1: they look like a bunch of guys that just met
- 18:41Speaker 1: each other, and they just met each other and they're
- 18:46Speaker 1: trying to solve advanced calculus, but they can barely get
- 18:51Speaker 1: through long division. So they're cooked. They're absolutely cooked. And
- 18:55Speaker 1: it's not about scheme, it's not about that, it's about survival. Well,
- 19:00Speaker 1: this dumb it down. We'll play a basic defense and
- 19:03Speaker 1: instead of getting completely embarrassed, we'll only get partially embarrassed,

- 21:44Speaker 1: you clearly did not watch the game on Monday night

- 21:50Speaker 1: entertaining game, that was an enjoyable game. So I don't

- 22:41Speaker 1: the rig and he's gonna put it on the back,

- 22:45Speaker 1: to see him and put the dog very excited. Louis
- 22:49Speaker 1: was very excited to see me Ben mallor showstickers on
- 22:52Speaker 1: our cars. That's a good point, don't I want.
- 22:54Speaker 4: People to be able to like follow and tweet at
- 22:57Speaker 4: us and all that fun stuff.
- 22:58Speaker 1: I know that seems ridiculous put that on my car,
- 23:00Speaker 1: but Lake, yeah, well you know, yeah, well you have
- 23:03Speaker 1: you have like the night Rider car?
- 23:06Speaker 6: Yeah, windows, I could put blackstickers on it and it's
- 23:10Speaker 6: kind of be like, oh, what'd that say?
- 23:12Speaker 1: Camouflage? Just Josh writes in from Cincinnati, says that just
- 23:16Speaker 1: might be one of the nicest things we've ever said
- 23:18Speaker 1: about the Cowboys. Man, we suck, and we know we suck,
- 23:22Speaker 1: but we've got standards, damn it. Yeah, that's right, the
- 23:25Speaker 1: Cowboys have standards. Good job by them, damn straight. Parito
- 23:28Speaker 1: rights in. He says, I warned you, Benny, but went
- 23:31Speaker 1: after Kershaw again. I put a spell that you get
- 23:35Speaker 1: the blank in the middle of a cigarette or cigarette rather,
- 23:39Speaker 1: he says, he said sign sig has spelled s I g.
- 23:42Speaker 1: When you talk about the highways anyway, no toilet paper
- 23:45Speaker 1: to help clean them back, So Purito, I'll address this
- 23:48Speaker 1: in a future episode. Show. So I'm getting a lot
- 23:50Speaker 1: of blowback, like what is wrong with the Dodger coop?
- 23:54Speaker 1: They dug up the mound coop at Dodger Stadium for Kusher?
- 23:59Speaker 1: Does that not seem a little over the top. They
- 24:01Speaker 1: literally dug up the pitching rubber at Dodger Stadium for Kershaw.
- 24:07Speaker 1: It was like a symbolic thing where they gave it
- 24:09Speaker 1: to his kids. I don't understand why anyone thought that
- 24:12Speaker 1: was a good idea is a franchise legend. Yeah, they
- 24:16Speaker 1: had a losing record in playoff games he started. He
- 24:20Speaker 1: cost them multiple World series because of his incompetence. Is malfeasans, Like,
- 24:24Speaker 1: why do you celebrate that? I mean, fine, regular season
- 24:27Speaker 1: on a Wednesday against the Rockies, okay, fine, but in
- 24:30Speaker 1: a playoff game, no chance, no chance? All right, it
- 24:36Speaker 1: is the Ben Mallor Show. Let's go to the phones.
- 24:38Speaker 1: We'll say hello to Jed who fled? Who's up next?
- 24:41Speaker 1: Hello Jed who fled?
- 24:45Speaker 7: Hello, Ben Mallor the radio show. I'm thinking the post
- 24:50Speaker 7: game professional athletes interviews are like normalization porn for the
- 24:55Speaker 7: average states to this site because like the financial income
- 24:59Speaker 7: and the athletic prowess between the citizens and athletes, professional
- 25:03Speaker 7: athletes very large. So they because if you stuck a
- 25:07Speaker 7: microphone in Maximus Decimus Maridis's face right after he got
- 25:11Speaker 7: at the Roman Colstee, you know and killing commedists, he
- 25:14Speaker 7: probably stab you too. You don't do that, and so
- 25:16Speaker 7: they don't say this to make your literacy, you know,
- 25:20Speaker 7: situation where the gods to some athletes, some athletes.
- 25:23Speaker 3: Just very very well.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Okay, so let me let me, let me clean this up.
- 25:27Speaker 1: So what you're saying is the postgame interviews are a
- 25:29Speaker 1: waste of time. Is that what you're saying, right, because
- 25:31Speaker 1: you know what they're going to say, Thank you for.
- 25:33Speaker 3: Phrasing let me clean this up and making me look
- 25:36Speaker 3: like a post game interview act.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, and you were people. People don't. People
- 25:41Speaker 1: don't believe this because they only know you as the
- 25:43Speaker 1: character Jed who fled, the character Jed who fled. But
- 25:46Speaker 1: at one point you were an athlete. At one point
- 25:49Speaker 1: you were one of the people that would say the cliches,
- 25:51Speaker 1: right that you would come out and say they made
- 25:53Speaker 1: more plays than we did. This loss doesn't define us
- 25:56Speaker 1: all those I'm proud of our team. We played really hard,
- 25:58Speaker 1: like all those OK cliches. You are the people saying
- 26:02Speaker 1: that stuff.
- 26:02Speaker 3: Yes, well you got to give one hundred percent, you
- 26:06Speaker 3: know you gotta do That's good.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Yes, But you know what, we just got to play
- 26:11Speaker 1: more consistently, Jed. We just got to play more consistently.
- 26:14Speaker 1: We want to win. We got to play better. That's it.
- 26:19Speaker 7: The win.
- 26:19Speaker 3: The where, the how the how has been out putting
- 26:22Speaker 3: me on the radio? Now? Yeah, do that familiar with
- 26:24Speaker 3: a want of transfer rud You're familiar probably with identity thefts.
- 26:28Speaker 3: What I'm thinking is I find a major university in
- 26:31Speaker 3: Io Sudar Daddy, and I somehow stak on I get
- 26:35Speaker 3: myself an inn io deal that I don't even have
- 26:38Speaker 3: to be there to get paid to do. I just
- 26:40Speaker 3: got to get a lot of hype. I got to
- 26:42Speaker 3: get a real good with additional the cyber. Yeah, I
- 26:45Speaker 3: gotta give it a cyber And I'm I don't I
- 26:47Speaker 3: don't think that. I don't think I think I could
- 26:48Speaker 3: emit the journey that wasn't a crime, dude, like pretending
- 26:50Speaker 3: to be part of Florida football team at Florida State
- 26:53Speaker 3: fans and you know, giving them out of money, Like, hey,
- 26:57Speaker 3: your football team's got some ass dat stand royalty his
- 26:59Speaker 3: cousin and if you pay me, I could explain it
- 27:02Speaker 3: in more detail. You know needs to be paid. You
- 27:04Speaker 3: know that a little bit.
- 27:05Speaker 1: You have a question, what are you talking about?
- 27:10Speaker 7: Huh oh right, you don't know.
- 27:13Speaker 1: I have no idea what he's talking about. Does anyone
- 27:16Speaker 1: know what he's talking about? Am I the only one?
- 27:18Speaker 1: I'm completely lost? He's something about pretending.
- 27:20Speaker 7: To be I have become comfortably dumb.
- 27:23Speaker 3: I thought I was a training Well man, it's it's
- 27:26Speaker 3: you know, where's it tougher than you? Then you think
- 27:28Speaker 3: they're going to be prior to drug addictions. And then
- 27:31Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you look, time goes that's that's
- 27:34Speaker 3: time going forward in big amounts.
- 27:36Speaker 7: And then you're like, I cannot form my sentences, and
- 27:40Speaker 7: then I want to.
- 27:41Speaker 3: Mock other people for it, like I used to go
- 27:43Speaker 3: and karma has come full circle and and I read
- 27:47Speaker 3: and let us go across the page left right now,
- 27:49Speaker 3: But I can't really form words.
- 27:50Speaker 7: It's not just to buss it.
- 27:52Speaker 3: What do you do? Whenever he's like, people ask you,
- 27:54Speaker 3: why do you take calls? Man? What do you say? Whenever?
- 27:56Speaker 1: They just like you think I agree with him. I
- 27:59Speaker 1: don't don't know why I take calls. I don't.
- 28:02Speaker 3: You're a person at the moment, Dudekay, I like you.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, if.
- 28:06Speaker 3: People listening right into jokes, send in some jokes, send
- 28:09Speaker 3: in some jokes. Damn it.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we need we need jokes. Yeah, So I
- 28:14Speaker 1: think what you're trying. I think the metaphor you were
- 28:16Speaker 1: going for, Jed, don't if metaphor is the right where
- 28:18Speaker 1: the analogy you were going for is that be nice
- 28:21Speaker 1: to those of facebooks.
- 28:23Speaker 7: I'm sorry, you're sure not.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Calm down. So what you were saying was you should
- 28:29Speaker 1: be nice to people that you meet on the way
- 28:31Speaker 1: up because you'll see those same people on the way down. Like,
- 28:35Speaker 1: if you make fun of people for their shortcomings, eventually
- 28:38Speaker 1: those shortcomings will go to you. Is that what you're saying.
- 28:41Speaker 3: If you celebrate your drug possession right in front of
- 28:44Speaker 3: somebody that doesn't have any whatever, you're on the way
- 28:47Speaker 3: down and they've got they're gonna have something, You're like,
- 28:49Speaker 3: can I.
- 28:49Speaker 7: Can hear that?
- 28:50Speaker 1: But j you've stayed away from the fentanyl, right, you're
- 28:53Speaker 1: not doing the fun you're doing. You know you're doing
- 28:55Speaker 1: other things, but not, don't you.
- 28:58Speaker 3: I saw my buddy bicyclic and he passed out mid bicycle.
- 29:06Speaker 3: Everybody else was concerned, dude, and we're like, oh, gotta
- 29:08Speaker 3: get some on the drugs. That says hold and I
- 29:09Speaker 3: will I last say hardest face man. I was like,
- 29:12Speaker 3: Hey for winners, Okay.
- 29:14Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna go. I go as a jed
- 29:17Speaker 1: who fled. You understood any of that, you might want
- 29:20Speaker 1: to see a doctor if you understood what he was
- 29:23Speaker 1: saying the beginning of that, I understood Benito, the long
- 29:26Speaker 1: suffering cowboy fan rights and says, I I like Jed
- 29:29Speaker 1: off drugs. Dude talks like a normal person. Was that
- 29:33Speaker 1: him off drugs? Was that that was sober clean and
- 29:36Speaker 1: sober Jed? He seemed a little clear. Yeah, okay, let's
- 29:41Speaker 1: see here. Nature boy says, here's something to inspire your
- 29:45Speaker 1: trucker audience out there, and he sent a Mallard show
- 29:49Speaker 1: like a AI thing of a Ben Maller show on
- 29:53Speaker 1: the side of a truck, which is very nice but moving.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Man Matt, who is still listening on his way to
- 29:58Speaker 1: San Diego, says, happy to Louis is snoring away. However,
- 30:02Speaker 1: he spent quite a while for some reason, licking a
- 30:07Speaker 1: lot of personal areas for Louis. There was a lot
- 30:09Speaker 1: of licking going on there, so they're interesting. I wonder why.
- 30:14Speaker 1: I don't know. You must have excited him, then, I
- 30:16Speaker 1: don't think I had a maybia you were out there
- 30:18Speaker 1: with Louis. I had nothing to do with it. I
- 30:20Speaker 1: don't know, no idea. Let's go back to the falls here.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Let's see who do we have any meenie miney moe.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Let's go to Andrea. She's back the astrology insider known
- 30:32Speaker 1: as Virgo and service on ex Hello Andrea, Hello Ben,
- 30:37Speaker 1: how are you? If I was any better, I'd be Louie,
- 30:41Speaker 1: but not Louie the dog, because Louise sleeps twenty hours
- 30:44Speaker 1: a day. That's I mean, that's a tough life. Twenty
- 30:46Speaker 1: hours a day. That's a lot of sleeping.
- 30:50Speaker 2: You didn't call about that in quite a twenty four hours,
- 30:53Speaker 2: I'll tell you, you know, I really I was on
- 30:56Speaker 2: the show last night. I really enjoyed that. And then
- 30:59Speaker 2: a little before three in the morning, I was still off.
- 31:02Speaker 2: I was making some tea and we had an earthquake
- 31:04Speaker 2: in Berkeley.
- 31:06Speaker 1: Yeah, how big an earthquake? What are we talking about here?
- 31:08Speaker 2: Oh? Like four point three kind a little.
- 31:11Speaker 1: You know, Okay, that's decent size of it. It always
- 31:14Speaker 1: depends if you're right near the epicenter, because you feel
- 31:16Speaker 1: it like so much obviously so much more at four
- 31:19Speaker 1: point three. Often the distance probably not that big a deal,
- 31:22Speaker 1: but four point three when it's right underneath you, yeah,
- 31:25Speaker 1: that's a problem.
- 31:26Speaker 2: And it was near Memorial Stadium with a cawba Oh yeah, yeah,
- 31:30Speaker 2: very cool. Oh no, I definitely felt it and then
- 31:33Speaker 2: we had an aftershock today around five or six. So
- 31:39Speaker 2: it's been really intense. So so far, we've had a
- 31:43Speaker 2: solar eclipse, We've had the beginning of the fall equinox,
- 31:48Speaker 2: we had the earthquakes, and then I got another earthquake.
- 31:51Speaker 2: When I heard about Nick Bosa, or one of my
- 31:54Speaker 2: favorite forty nine ers, getting a torn ACL.
- 31:57Speaker 1: That's right. You will be playing as many games with
- 31:59Speaker 1: the forty nine ers the rest of the year. Is
- 32:01Speaker 1: Nick Bosa, he is out.
- 32:02Speaker 4: That is it.
- 32:03Speaker 1: He's gone for the year. That see you later. That
- 32:05Speaker 1: is the second time that has happened to Nick Bosa. So, yeah,
- 32:10Speaker 1: he missed most Remember three or four years ago he
- 32:13Speaker 1: missed most of a season with an ACL injury.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I was slated to have surgery. So
- 32:21Speaker 2: did you have surgery last time?
- 32:22Speaker 1: They have to wait for Yeah, yeah, you got to
- 32:25Speaker 1: have surgery. They wait for the swelling to go down right,
- 32:27Speaker 1: and you're gonna have the operation there.
- 32:28Speaker 2: He was born October twenty third, nineteen ninety seven. So
- 32:32Speaker 2: an intense scorpio like Coop and Lorena and Mars is
- 32:37Speaker 2: in scorpio which is energy assertion aggression. So you have
- 32:41Speaker 2: Mars and scorpio. It's one to every two years, and
- 32:45Speaker 2: it's like you use it or use you, So meaning
- 32:49Speaker 2: you know, he got tackled and pushed down to the
- 32:52Speaker 2: ground and he got the ACL injury. So it was
- 32:56Speaker 2: sort of like one earthquake after another. I mean, like,
- 32:59Speaker 2: you know, Sunday wasn't challenging enough, and you wake up
- 33:03Speaker 2: on Monday and it's like Nick Post is out for
- 33:05Speaker 2: the season with an ACL injury, and if I go, yeah.
- 33:09Speaker 1: No, it's not ideal. They don't have a lot of
- 33:11Speaker 1: big names. You got Warner on defense, but that's pretty
- 33:14Speaker 1: much it in terms of the big name players on
- 33:16Speaker 1: the forty nine ers defense. And so we will be
- 33:19Speaker 1: ranting about that a little bit later. So should we
- 33:21Speaker 1: be on guard here for more cosmic shenanigans here?
- 33:25Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, you know, the eclipse is not a very
- 33:29Speaker 2: frequent occurrence, so there's a lot of endings and new
- 33:32Speaker 2: beginnings and rather dramatic endings. So it's kind of like
- 33:37Speaker 2: expect the unexpected when you have a solar eclipse. So
- 33:41Speaker 2: there's just a lot that's changing and transforming, so it's
- 33:45Speaker 2: kind of a wild card. Yeah, so yeah, good point,
- 33:50Speaker 2: good question. Yeah, we should be on a lookout for
- 33:53Speaker 2: even more changes and transformations and expect the unexpected. So
- 33:57Speaker 2: that was the forty nine ers, the earthquakes. It was like, wow,
- 34:02Speaker 2: it's been quite a twenty four hours, and it's like.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Your show is a touch that's right, even in this building.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Any things that have been happening in this building. So
- 34:11Speaker 1: it's all because of the it's all because of the stars, clearly. Yeah,
- 34:15Speaker 1: if they could just stop, that'd be great. Take a
- 34:18Speaker 1: little break there, take a time out. Can the stuff Andrea,
- 34:20Speaker 1: can you let the stars know to calm down a
- 34:22Speaker 1: little bit?
- 34:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we got to kind of focus on
- 34:27Speaker 2: what we can control the controllables because you know, there's
- 34:32Speaker 2: no way output through and this. Anytime we have like
- 34:34Speaker 2: a vernal equinox or like a big sanitary shift that
- 34:38Speaker 2: happens once a year, we kind of have to have
- 34:41Speaker 2: a you know, guard up that it's a time of
- 34:43Speaker 2: transformation and some unexpected changes.
- 34:45Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:46Speaker 2: So that on top of the solar eclipse, was just
- 34:49Speaker 2: a lot in the next in the past twenty four
- 34:51Speaker 2: forty eight hours, and then the earthquake because you know,
- 34:55Speaker 2: the Earth was moving to equal day and light, you know,
- 34:58Speaker 2: the sun going into Libra. It was just a lot
- 35:00Speaker 2: of planetary activity, and it was reflected in the earth,
- 35:05Speaker 2: and it was reflected in the stars, and it was
- 35:08Speaker 2: just really intense. And then the Nick Bosa thing was like, oh,
- 35:12Speaker 2: why is that we always go to sports as you know,
- 35:15Speaker 2: for like entertainment and solace and escapism.
- 35:18Speaker 1: I think the police are going by right now, Andrea.
- 35:20Speaker 1: I think they're going by outside there.
- 35:22Speaker 2: I hear the Oh yeah, well you get used to
- 35:24Speaker 2: it in my neighbor.
- 35:25Speaker 1: No, well wait, I thought you lived in Berkeley. Wait
- 35:28Speaker 1: a minute, there, I thought Berkley was nice. I didn't
- 35:30Speaker 1: know anyway.
- 35:31Speaker 2: I lived near the campus.

- 38:42Speaker 6: It seems every year the Chargers are a popular sleeper
- 38:45Speaker 6: pick in the NFL, only to ultimately disappoint. Well after
- 38:48Speaker 6: the win over the Broncos, we're seeing it again, headlines
- 38:50Speaker 6: saying that this will be the year that the Chargers
- 38:52Speaker 6: justify the hype and it's because of Justin Herbert And
- 38:55Speaker 6: do you think they're finally legit contender?
- 38:57Speaker 2: No?
- 38:57Speaker 1: I don't trust Herbert. He's had two playoff games, did
- 39:01Speaker 1: nothing in the second half, they got killed by Jacksonville
- 39:03Speaker 1: and then this Houston game last year. I don't trust him.
- 39:05Speaker 1: I don't care how many games they win. I got
- 39:07Speaker 1: to see him perform under the pressure of the playoffs.
- 39:10Speaker 1: I don't next Baker.
- 39:11Speaker 6: Mayfield admitted after the Bucks went over the Jets on
- 39:13Speaker 6: Sunday that he took a little extra pleasure in beating
- 39:15Speaker 6: their defensive coordinator Steve Wilkes, who Baker pointed out was
- 39:18Speaker 6: the one who cut him in Carolina. But how much
- 39:20Speaker 6: better do you think things would be going for the
- 39:21Speaker 6: Panthers right now if they had kept Baker?
- 39:23Speaker 1: Well, they don't have a quarterback, so it couldn't be
- 39:26Speaker 1: much worse. By the way, you need some garlic, coop,
- 39:28Speaker 1: need some garlic. I just lost my voice. I'm not sick,
- 39:31Speaker 1: all right.
- 39:34Speaker 6: Kevin O'Connell refused to say that he starting JJ McCarthy
- 39:37Speaker 6: over Carson Wentz when he's healthy.
- 39:39Speaker 1: What do you think that's a dead giveaway. He's not
- 39:41Speaker 1: happy with JJ McCarthy. It's an easy thing to say, Yes,
- 39:44Speaker 1: JJ my starter. He didn't say it. Trouble in Minnesota.
