• 1:48
  Speaker 1: all the cool kids do. They call sports talk radio
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: overnight radio when they're on spring break. Now we'll circle
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: back to that, I'm sure at some point.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: But our lead this hour is don't bear. I'm the
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: lead mo man.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: One of our great bosses over the years likes to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: say so. March madness. The curtain went up on the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five men's basketball tournament, and I don't know
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: if you're watching or not. I'm pretty sure I need
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: some kind of IV. I think I overdosed on hoops.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And normally what happens on tournament days is I'm not
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: gonna lie.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: I don't watch the early games at all. Why would I.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I usually sleep, But I filled in at the local
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: station on Thursday, so I was up early, and so
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I watched, and then I kept watching, and I kept watching,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and all the way through the night, though a lot
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to digest. The biggest story after a minutes long Mall
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: review of the day, the biggest story the clash of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: big name coaches. This might have been the greatest game
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in the world, and all that there was a late
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: lead change.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I think there were like ten lead changes in the game.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: But the big name coach, which is what we put
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: our hat on.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You had John Kylipari on one side making his tournament
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: debut as Arkansas's coach, and Bill self the staple of
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Kansas basketball in Lawrence, Kansas, home of a Ben mallor
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: food dish there at the Bird in Lawrence. So someone
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: named Jonas It's not Jonas Knox, it's Jonas i Do
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: scored twenty two points and Arkansas came back and ends
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: up winning seventy nine to seventy two in the opening
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: round of the tournament. So that number ten seed knocks
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: off the number seven seed Kansas the better story in
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the losing locker room. So that is where we will
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: focus on this particular game that Jayhawks eliminated from the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: madness of March. And now the questions are being asked,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: will they be rebooting the coaching staff?
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: What all right?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss anytime a big name coach gets
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: excommunicated from the tournament. Early on, you asked the question,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: we will ask the question, is the venerable Bill Self
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: on the hot seat at Kansas? So I've got toothpaste,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: biblical and ven diagram, and we will combine all of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to make some
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: banana cream pie. The king of all pies is the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: banana cream pie. And it doesn' appear that Kansas took
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a banana cream pie to the face, all right, So
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a to answer the question, is Bill self on the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: hot seat at Kansas?
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I am nodding my head, yes, I am nodding my head. Yes. Now,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: this is only the second time that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: The Associated Press preseason number one team has lost in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the first round of the tournament. The only Kansas, by
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the way, was that team. They were preseason number one.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: There our first game of the tournament. The only other
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: time in the history of the tournament it's happened was
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Bill Self and Kansas back in five they lost to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: buck Nell.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: And so there you go a little fun factoid for you.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: But I want you to turn up your headphones a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: little bit because you're gonna hear in the background we
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: talk about Bill Self and his status, you'll hear the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: sound of crackling geese.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: You hear that little sound of crackling geese.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Now you know what that means, right, That means storm
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: clouds are building. And this was Kansas' worst season according
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to many pundits, and the numbers bear this out. In
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the twenty two years with Bill Self at the hell
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that's a generation of Bill Self coaching Kansas basketball. But
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: it cuts deep, and I go back to the D word.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I go back to the D word. Darwinism, adapt or
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: die is the way I look at this and the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: NIL which has been around for a few years now.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: But the name, image, likeness thing has been.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: A gigantic sea change for the old guard in college sports,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and we've seen a lot of them leave.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: But you look at a guy like Bill Self who's been.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Around and around and around and around and around, and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you don't necessarily like it. Whether you like it or not,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's not up for debate. This is
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the way college athletics are. And despite Nick Saban and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: other prominent college figures of years gone by going to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Capitol Hill, you're not gonna be able to put the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: toothpaste back in the tube. The toothpaste is out of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the tube, you can't put it back in, and it's
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be all messy and you're sloppy the whole thing.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: So Bill self coach self has been unable to consistently
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: keep up with the new ecosystem in college basketball. And
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Bill Self and Kansas now they've lost the first weekend,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: not in the first game, but the first weekend in
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: five of the last six NCAA tournaments, so five out
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of six they're done by. They don't even get to
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the sweet sixteen. And you look around and there are
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: some big time jobs open. So this could be like
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a lateral move. The one that I was texting some
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of my college basketball.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: People, you know something.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: You know, I watched the tournament, but I'm not obsessing
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: on every single college basketball game. And the job that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: kept popping up with Bill self was the Texas Longhorns job.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: They lost in the tournament, and there's a lot of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: chatter that there's gonna be a coaching change of it. It
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: hasn't already happened in Austin. So Bill Self could just
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: move to that job and there's some other prominent gigs
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that are either open or will be open, so.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: There's some opportunities there.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Of self wants to have an exit stage, right, he
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: can do that now Page two, give me the good,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the bad, and the ugly from day number one of
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: March number are with the good, I'll be Benny Bright said,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So the good we had another heavyweight coaching matchup secured,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and I'm all about the matchups.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Boss.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Now, this doesn't necessarily reflect what happened on Thursday, but
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it is a direct reflection of the events of Thursday
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: because of wins on Day one Arkansas. If you look
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: at your bracket, Arkansas and Saint John's will face off on.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Saturday, Saturday, Saturday in the second round of tournament play.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Now, to me, that's a great thing because you've got
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: John Calipari, big name coach versus Rick Patino, and I
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: got Saint John's going, I mean right there all the way.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: So I was a little concerned early on.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: When Omaha Omaha had an early lead, But you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it's college basketball, So who cares about the first five
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: minutes in many cases, the first ten minutes or the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: twenty minute.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Who cares?
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: But Rick Patino versus John Calipari will play on Saturday
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: because of what happened on Thursday, and that'll be the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: twenty fourth time they will have gotten together, but the.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: First time in almost a decade.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Last time Buttino was at Louisville and coach cal was
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I believe that that was back Kentucky, still back in
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Now, the bad, bad to the bone, that
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: would be the Atlantic Coast Conference. Now in my lifetime,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: for much of my adult life, that was the gold
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: standard of NCAA basketball, right, And there's a biblical expression
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that applies here. How the mighty have fallen? Now, maybe
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: it's just this just an off year, but you had
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Louisville the number eight seed, lost to number nine Creighton
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: early on. You had Clemson the number five seed. That
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: was the biggest upset of the day. They were getting both.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: It just absolutely destroyed. It ended up being a closer
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: final score. But McNeice formerly known as McNeese State the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: number twelve seed, not Clemson out. So that means, now,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: if my mal or math is correct, and I am
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Benny Bractologist, so half of the ACC contingent has already
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: vacated the field. Half That means that you only have
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the number one seed Duke and the number eleven seed
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: North Carolina and the Tarihills. They had to win in
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that fugazy first four game the other night just to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: get to this point. So now, why is it so bad?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: As a distant relative of Nostra Damas and friend of
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Nostra Denis, I will tell you, going.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Back and looking at my crystal ball, why things are
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: so bad.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: In the last four years, the ACC has said bye
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: bye to coach k Roy Williams, Tony Bennett, Jim Beheim,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you can go down. Leonard Hamilton had some success at times.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: He's also gone Jim Larronega. I'm sure I missed somebody
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: else as well. They've all retired, they've all checked out.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: I'm done. That's it now. The ugly.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And if you look at my big board here not
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: a list my big board.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: This is debatable.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I could have flipped the ACC the bad with the ugly,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with carpet bagging coaches who it's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: just a flavor of college sports. It's like you don't
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: need to really learn the names of the players or
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the coaches because they're always changing. And the carpet bagging
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: coaches in March matis you had Will Wade. Boy, what
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a scandal he was at at LSU back in the day.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: So Will Wade is the coach at McNeese formerly McNeese State.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: So he has agreed to take the job at North
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Carolina State.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: So that's a better job for him.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: But the announcement coming down as McNeice pulled off this
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: win in the tournament. Then there's a guy named ben
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Ben McCollum who is in a similar situation, although it's
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: not a done deal we are told for him. This
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: guy McCollum is the coach at Drake. He's in his
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: first season at Drake, not Drek Drake. Just like the musician,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: everyone likes to pick on the Canadian guy. So he
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: has been connected to the Iowa job. Holy Hawkeys bat Man,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and he didn't have a job yet, but it seems
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to be almost a done deal.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: He was born in Iowa City.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I was reading a little bit about this guy from
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Iowa City and he grew up in the state. It
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: just seems like a natural thing considering Iowa Pole axed
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: their head coach, so it seems like that's gonna happen
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: now the last word here. We enjoy the tournament, certainly
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the first couple of days. Always, always enjoy, always enjoying.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: This was not like anything outrageous. I would say this
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: was a pretty benign day one overall of March Madness,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: with the lack of dramatic buzzard meters and all that
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: stuff were there were so many missed layups. I was
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: trying to hit my little notes thing app I was.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I was futching around my phone trying to count all
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the mislayups, and I just I just gave up the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: answers a lot. There were a lot of mislaymups. But
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: what is the big takeaway from the start of March
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Madness twenty twenty five. I'm glad you asked. It's time
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: now for a Ben Mahler Show PSA, a Ben Mahler
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Show public service announcement. Yeah, so consider there's my good
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Mitch for the day. It is a reminder I do
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: this at least one at one point during the year,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: much like the swallows returning to Capistrano, or will punk
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Satani Phil see his shadow?
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Where we have more winter?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: These things are traditional. So if you look at my
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: ven diagram here. The NCAA tournament is different than almost
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: every other sporting event. Every other sporting event starts out
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and builds up to a crescendo.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: You start out, there's a little like baseball, Just baseball, Okay,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: opening day, you pay a little attention and you see
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: how your team's doing, and then you check back every
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: once in a while, and then you build up to
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and then ultimately the World Series. So you're
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: building up to this this thing where it Most things
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: in life start out small and then gradually increase and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: they get to that climax.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Right, this is the opposite. This is the opposite.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Public support for March madness is directly related. There's a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: correlation to how your bracket is doing, and it is
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the only thing I can go. Maybe some NASCAR people
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: have challenged me over there, what about.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: The Daytona five buggety? Okay, But if you're.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: A real NASCAR fan, you're gonna watch and there's the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: playoff and.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: You're into that whole thing. So I don't consider it
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: the same thing.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Right, This is a situation where we start out Thursday
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: and now going into Friday peak.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Interest Fully, attentive, fully attentive.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: And the deeper we get into the weeds of the
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: NCAA tournament, the less interest we have depending on how
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: your your brackets crumpled up and you've just been absolutely
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: destroyed on your your pixing. Also, if you're in an
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: office pool, get those squares.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: You know, those those square things and all that. Yeah.

  Speaker 1: Patriots went very well. However, there is no contract that
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: is said to be imited. Diggs visited New England. That
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: visit consisted of a free meal with team employees that
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: was on Wednesday night, and there were meetings.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: On Thursday, there was a physical.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: He was poked and prodded, and then he was picked
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: up by a car service and driven to the air.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: And he got out of dodge he took off.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question Stefan Diggs meeting with
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the Patriots. However, however, he left without a contract. What
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: does that tell us? So I've got sugar Loaf, Texas
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: roadhouse and my pillow, and we will combine all of
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to make some
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: gummy candy.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Is what we're gonna make.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Because I know that our friend Lorena loves gummy candy
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: and she doesn't like when people at work steel her
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: gummy candy. All right, So num burr, I said, numb
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: bur My first thought on this Stefan Diggs's story and
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: what it tells us the fact that he didn't agree
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: to a contract with the Patriots, is that.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: The check engine light started a flash. Oooooow, that's what
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: it sounds like. Who just like that?
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: So the check engine light started flashing and making some
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: noise when the exam was taking place, when the physical
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: was taking place, There's gotta be something that was a
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: little funky, little funky there.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Now, what is my supporting evidence?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: This was, to our knowledge, Tofon Diggs's first free agent
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: visit of the offseason. The NFL drafts about a month away.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: There's been a lot of players bouncing around.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: So the fact that he went to New England, what
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: does that tell us?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: It tells us that that was his either only option
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: or he wanted to play for the Patriots, or both
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: or both. So you don't visit a team unless you're
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: willing to sign a contract with the team. Otherwise you
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: would have gone somewhere else first, and he traveled all
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: that way to get a turkey dinner and a bag
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: of chips. So that's what it is now as the
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: mantra in the NFL. We've all heard this over the years.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You pay attention to this stuff. If you bring a
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: free agent in for a visit and you want the player,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: what do you do. You put a padlock on the door,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: you dead bolt the door, and you don't let good
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: players leave the building. You get the doc you signed out,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and you say, all right, let's sign The fact that
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: that did not happen with Stefon Diggs. Instead, instead it's
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: we're getting spin like, well, you know, it's just to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: get to know your type of meeting and you know
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: where you're at medically, that type of thing.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And if you smell closely, that's bull almost said the ForWord.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: It's bull bull pucky quote Jay Scoop, it's bull pucky.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: But the Patriots I love the reporting. According to Jordan Schultz,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the king of All Starbucks, he said that the Patriots
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: intend to remain in contact after they.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Met with Stefawn Diggs.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: So this is now sounding to me like a the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: old school nineteen seventies sugar Loaf song don't call us,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: will call you, don't call us?
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: So it makes you wonder things that make you go hmm.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Is that acl now like barbecue pulled port? Did Stefan
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Diggs ask for too much money? We know the Patriots
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: are a bunch of tightwades. Now they say they could
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: circle back.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: That's a weasel word.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: It sounds on this side of the microphone like Stefon
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Diggs will.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Continue his job search.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: So it sounds like to me, and there's really no
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: one else knocking on his door to our knowledge. Now
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: page two, there are whispers in hush tones that that
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Cowboy's front office is said to be a house divided.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Isn't that dramatic? House divided?
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: A house divided over Micah Parsons and whether or not
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: to give him a mega mega mega Mega got millions
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: contract extension, defensive star Micah Parsons.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: So is this genuine or is this phony? So I have.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: This one, the Micah Parsons Front Office Divide, the Great Divide,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the chasm in the front office of the Cowboys. I
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: have this as kosher. I believe that it's legit. I
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: don't think it's phony maloney. In fact, it's not a surprise.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: It would have been a surprise if there was a consensus.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: The fact that Michael Parsons hasn't agreed to a contract
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: yet is part of the story. But my position, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I know this from and I have an advantage over
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: everyone else. I'm a human being, so I know what
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: human beings you act like. It is nearly impossible to
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: get a group of people to agree on anything because
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: back in the day, and I was a bad student,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: but I paid attention.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: And a little bit you would when you were doing
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: group projects.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: There's always the person that does the lion's share of
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: the work. There's the people that just do the bare minimum.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: And then there's the people that are the caboose and
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: they're just along for the ride, right, They're just along
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: for the ride, and that's the standard fair. And with
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, like any other team, there's gonna be clicks,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and you don't expect universal agreement. Michael Parsons is more
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: name than game.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Do you agree with that?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Like the name is pretty good because he plays with
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, got the star in his helmet. But it's
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: like if you went to the Texas Roadhouse and they
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: added to their menu there and they said, well, by
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: this item, it's all sizzle, but it's a petite steak.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: It's not no steak. It's just a petite steak, but
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of sizzle, just like that, but not
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of steak. And as we understand the power
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: structure in Dallas, there's sound of it right.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: There either that at a lightning and rain. But you
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: have good cop, bad Cop, You've got good cop bad cup.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: So Stephen Jones the spawn, the kid that just happened
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: to get in the right genetic lottery. His dad happened
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: old the Cowboys.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: So Stephen Jones is a tight one.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: From what we're hearing, and he didn't want to spend money.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: And then Jerry Jones wants to spoil his guys and
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: just give them the riches of Solomon. Thus you have
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: what's known as the I word instability. Also, everyone, everyone
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: who's around the Cowboys has to be part of the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: reality show, and the Cowboys always must maximize media coverage.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: And if the Cowboys had already signed Michael Parsons to
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: an extension, the story's over. If you wait until training
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: camp at the eleventh hour. It's like those movies where
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: they have the sticks of dynamite wrapped with tape and
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: they have a timer. You gotta stop it right before
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the timer gets down to double.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Zero or triple zero. You gotta stop.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: But ultimately, we do believe that Micah Parsons, against our
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: better judgment, will get a bag, a giant bag, and
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: he'll be paraded around the Death Star with the Cowboys
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: practice and everyone will be happy and smiling, and we
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: all right. Now final point, we go to Baltimore. A
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: hum dinger, a humdinger of a story. How do you
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: untangle the latest revelations that Ravens Kicker, the creepy Kicker
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Justin Tucker hired a law firm for those facing high
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: profile reputational attacks. How do you untangle that? So this
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: is kind of like a Metallica song fight Fire with Fire,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: And I love the fact that an NFL kicker is
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: in such a corner. He's like a cornered snake that
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: he's hiring one of these high falutin DC area firms
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: that is supposed to clean up your mess. And it's
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the same company that Mike Lindell hired, the My Pillow Guy.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: So Justin Tucker has something in common with the My
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Pillow Guy. The company I was reading about it called
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the Claire Locke.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: I think I'm getting that right.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: It was a story in the Baltimore Sun about this,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: and that's the law firm, and they've pretty much cornered
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the market on these type of stories scandal ridden people
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: and normally politics from what I read.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: And then you have an NFL player here, and so
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Justin Tucker.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Is under siege. If you missed it, he's been accused.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: How can I clean this up?
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: For radio?
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Justin Tucker has been accused of giving out his franken
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: beans to those that didn't ask for his franken beans,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: brushing his as Lady Gaga would say, his disco stick
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: against the massage therapist and leaving what some of them
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: thought was his own personal homemade blend ranch dressing on
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: the massage.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Table, among other things.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: And we're over a dozen I think we were around
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: sixteen massage therapists.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: That we're making these various claims.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Now, my moles tell me that it's only a matter
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: of when. It's not a matter of if. It's a
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: matter of when Justin Tucker will end up getting whacked.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Probably shouldn't have used that word, but in Baltimore that
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: he's out. The Ravens are expected to draft a kicker
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: in the late April draft.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Likely day two, day three, definitely not day one. Maybe
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: day three.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: They'll draft a kicker, and then on some random Friday,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: when no one's paying attention, all of a sudden.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: It'll be bye bye, and Justin.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Tucker will be excommunicated from the flock. He will no
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: longer be a poet and you don't even know it.

• 28:24
  Speaker 5: how long do you think it'll be before the forty
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: nine ers are legit contenders again?
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Well, the problem is they don't have a quarterback, they
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: have a game manager, they don't have a guy that upgrades.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Players around him.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: So, uh, it's gonna be There'll be a fringe playoff team,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: but to be a real Super Bowl contender, it's gonna
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: be a long time because Rock Purty's not that guy.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: You're not that guy, Pal, And what else is John
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Lynch gonna say? He's got to be positive next?
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: So in the most recent episode of HBOS last week tonight,
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: John Oliver called for the banning of player props due
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: to student athletes getting harassed for failing to hit a
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: certain stat. The nc double A then basically did the
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: same thing on Twoda day. Yeah, Ben, do you think
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: player props on college sports could be a thing of
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: the past.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: No, Because John Oliver is not that bright because you'll
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: you'll get rid of the illegal.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Betting of player props.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: But dudes will just go to their bookies or they'll
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: they'll go to the the illegal websites and bet player
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: player props are not going away.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: So either you have them legal or you don't have
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: them legal. It's not it's noble as they get rid
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: They're not going away because people are gonna if people
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: want to bet props, are going to find a way
• 29:26

• 36:41
  Speaker 5: movies that are out this weekend. And the reason I'm
• 36:43

• 36:45
  Speaker 5: these movies are going to be very bad.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: So the first one is, of course, Disney snow White.
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: There's been lots of controversy surrounding this movie and the
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: main character that plays snow White.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: The early reviews are not good, and I just I
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: don't I don't see people, uh people going to see this,
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: but who knows, I could be wrong. I'm interested to
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: see how it does. I won't be seeing it.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: Well, isn't.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Uh this is like the woke snow White And it
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: seems to me.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Like even they are embarrassed by it.
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: I guess they're trying to I heard, yeah, they like
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: it was complaining. They're not promoting it.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: They didn't do like a big red carpet kind of
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: thing that like they were going to do, and I guess.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: They didn't get the pulse of the people in America.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, looking for a woke snow White, bad job by
• 37:28
