  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: The lead story, a follow up, follow up to.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: A story we discussed in a previous episode of the show.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: The other shoe has dropped here and we're going to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: call this the laugh in the laugh. And remember that
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: even though things are a little bit better now than
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: they were during the craziness of the pandemic and the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: woke revolution. We still live in a time where you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: can be forced to apologize for your sense of humor.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: That's what happened here. And so Dateline Austin, where the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: number one team in all of college football now sitting
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: at the very top. For now, the Texas Longhorns, after
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: their fourth quarter comeback, after playing like poo-poo for three quarters,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the Longhorns rose up as Ohio State played like choking
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Buckeyes in the fourth quarter.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: And so Texas is at the top there.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And now we have a follow-up to the college football
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: controversy of the week. Now, do not confuse this with
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the Lane Kiffin hullabaloo that took place with the NFL players.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: This is a different NFL controversy, so please update your scorecards.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: You got to update your scorecard. So this is not Watergate.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: It's not Deflategate. I believe this one is what we're
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: going to call Gigglegate. Yes, the first ever Gigglegate in
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: college football. Now, there have been giggle controversies before. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: recall a very prominent member of the San Antonio Spurs
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was given the old heave-ho for laughing at an NBA referee.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I remember doing commentary on that years ago. Well, now
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: we have another laugh-in situation.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Gigglegate. Gigglegate, gigglegate, gigglegate. So I assume you've been following along,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: perhaps not.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Texas quarterback Arch Manning, the next in the lineage of
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the Manning family. Many unaware, many unaware. Not the son
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of Peyton or Eli. He's the son of the guy
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that didn't make it in the NFL, Cooper. manning anyway
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: arch manning apologized now what did he do did he
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: spit a big fat loogie in the face of a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: player uh no uh did he steal crab legs from
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a grocery store no no he didn't do.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: That hmm did he uh did he.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Beat someone up no no didn't beat anyone up what
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: did he do i can't believe he did it uh
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: if you didn't see it uh he he had to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: apologize because he he laughed At something he thought was funny.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Another hero. Another hero is gone. We've lost Arch Manning.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: He's gone. Not dead.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Just doesn't have the type of sense of humor that
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: apparently he's supposed to have.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: He.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: What are the chances he actually had anything to do
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: with this apology other than have somebody write it for him? Anyway,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: he apologized for calling the AI video depicting his head coach,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Steve Sarkeesian, slapping the reporter there, Holly Rowe.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Hilarious. He apologized for that. Apologize. I know. So sad.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning called his reaction, quote, insensitive. He said there
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: is nothing funny about it. Acknowledged his words were hurtful.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: So hurtful. I don't know about you. I actually I
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: went to therapy.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I was so devastated by what Arch Manning had to say.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I really I don't even know how I did the show.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I did it on fumes.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I did. I did it on effing fumes.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Now, he specifically apologized to Holly Rowe, who was clearly damaged,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: unless she wasn't, because it was fake, expressed his respect
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: for her. Why?
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: She's not very good. Why would you respect? She's not
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: a good. It's terrible. Anyway, promised to be more thoughtful
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: going forward.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Which means don't give your true feelings because a lot
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of people can't handle it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: So that's what that means.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: All right, that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: The question is rather simple. Why? Why did Texas quarterback
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning issue a groveling apology for the crime of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: enjoying an AI video? All right, so I've got... My
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: thoughts on this. I've got Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Cedar Sinai, and King Cobra.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And we will combine all of these things together, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: we're going to make some garlic bread, and we're going
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to have some lasagna. You're going to enjoy that. We're
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: going to have a big feast of lasagna and garlic bread. So, A...
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: My angle on this, I get so worked up with
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the outrage machine. I am fascinated by how this works
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and how it still continues to work. The outrage machine
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: demanded a pound of flesh, and Arch Manning delivered the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: ceremonial apology casserole.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: It was like a potluck casserole.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And he brought the apology casserole there for everyone to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: enjoy a little piece of the casserole. Because, listen, he's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a very valuable commodity. And even if he's not that great,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: he's still going to make a lot of money in endorsements.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: And so you hire these crisis management bozos and they
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: tell you, oh, here's what you're supposed to do. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it's paint by numbers. Just paint by numbers.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: And that's it.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: You've got to protect the almighty image for Madison Avedon.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: So they protected the image for Madison Avenue. He's the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: cash cow. And, of course, as Michael Jordan would have
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: said if he was playing basketball today, woke crybabies buy
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: sneakers too. The woke crybabies buy a lot of sneakers.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: So you got to appease them. So Arch did not,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to my knowledge, create the AI video.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Does anyone?
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: No?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, no one's raising their hand saying he created the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: AI video. Uh, did he distribute it?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Uh, no.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: He did not. He did not distribute the video. Uh,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: fair enough.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: So he did not make it. He did not distribute it. Uh,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: did he, uh, did he endorse? No, he did not
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: endorse violence.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: So he didn't endorse violence.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Um, so what, what did he do? Okay. So he laughed.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I'm told he laughed at that video. Okay. So let
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: me ask you this. Who exactly is the victim in this?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Who is that? Well, that's OK. I will concede there
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: is a victim. The A.I.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Version of Holly Roe. Can anyone get a hold of
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the A.I. version of Holly Roe? Can we get it?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: No.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Is is she filing an A.I. grievance with the A.I.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: human resources?
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: No.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: OK.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Now, somewhere, I'm sure A.I.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Holly Roe has accepted Archer's apology, of course, and asked everyone.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: everyone to respect her AI privacy during this very difficult time.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: So absolutely. Last I checked, nobody was actually slapped. Nobody
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: was injured.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: The only casualty was Arch Manning's ability to say, yeah,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I think that's funny. That's over. He can't do that now.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: He's no longer able to say, hey, I think that's
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: funny and can't do it. We've now reached the point
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: where Where laughing, for some of you morons, requires approval
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: from the Department of Appropriate Chuckling. I'm not sure where
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they're located. I'm sure they're somewhere, but I don't know where.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And I determined that next up, based on the way
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: things are going, the Scooby-Dooby-Doo gang is going to have
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to issue a statement begging for forgiveness and to be
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: allowed back in polite society. for frightening many cartoon ghosts.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine? And the Looney Tunes. How many times?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: The collisions, the roadrunner, and yeah, I mean, that was
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of violence. I feel pain just thinking about
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the coyote and the bodily harm the coyote had in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: those old Looney Tunes cartoons.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: It's sad.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: All right, now, keeping the theme going here, keeping the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: theme of this hour, at least at the beginning of
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the hour, going here, the question is how did this
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning story, where he simply laughed at a dumb
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: AI video, turn into a social media referendum and a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: culture war?
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: How does that happen?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Well, it happens after a minutes-long deliberation of the available information.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I've come to the conclusion that this happens because a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: faux scandal was fueled by the second hand outrage.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Probably heard the term the the.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Main character syndrome and all of that kept alive by
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of busybodies. and people running around, like the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: professional busybodies who smelled an opportunity. They smelled it, and
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: they smelled that opportunity to scold, and they took full
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: advantage of that. So the grievous industry... There's a lot
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: of people that are part of that grievance industry there.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: They saw an opening and immediately expanded the franchise and said,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: we got something here, boys, turning a non-issue. Just who cares?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Move on with your day. Life's short.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: You're going to die. What are you doing?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And they turned that into a high stakes competition. And
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I noticed it popped up, the high stakes competition to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: see who Who could be the most offended on behalf
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: of someone else? Now, in this case, who's more offended
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: for a fake AI video? I'd like to know, but
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: we do know. People offended by someone on behalf of
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: someone else. So we had a gaggle of, let's be
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: honest here, call it like it is, mostly female media
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: members who made this all about them.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: All about them they weren't involved in this in fact
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: really no one was involved it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Was a fake video dummies uh anyway they wrote they
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: raised holy hell uh as oh my god they activated
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the justice league here it's so stupid and they demanded
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: an apology and i'm so offended i'm more offended than
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: everyone else and they needed they needed answers Because Arch
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Manning has a sense of humor that does not match
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: their sense of humor.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: How could that be? How could that be? Arch Manning's
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: laughter was like a dagger to their heart. It really was.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: It's so stupid. It is so stupid.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Nothing, I've determined this, nothing fuels social media like the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: chance to make someone else's controversy your personal life's crusade.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: And it's just great. And the humorless hall monitors that
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: are out there arrived immediately and declared laughter a punishable offense. Now,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: did I think the video was funny?
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: No.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Do I care if other people do?
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: Fine.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things. I go to these comedy shows.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Most of the comedians I see are not funny. There's
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: like maybe one out of every 10 comedians I actually
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: laugh at when I go to these comedy clubs. But
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: other people are laughing, and I don't sit there and say, well.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: That wasn't funny.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Why'd you laugh at that?
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I'm offended that you laughed at that. My God, what's
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: wrong with you?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: No, but these people do. These dum-dums do. So I'd
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: like to recommend unsolicited advice here that these dopes who
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: are raising holy hell because Arch Manning laughed at an
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: AI video, they should visit Cedars-Sinai. And get on the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: transplant list over there, because they clearly were born without
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: a funny bone. So just get over it. Just get
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: over it. It's amusing how the outrage machine works here,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: where these....
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: People up in arms.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And by the way, let me point out, a lot
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: of these women who were complaining about the video and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning's response, they had radio silence on Diana Rossini
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: getting cozy with Mike Vrabel. They had nothing to say
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: about that. That's fine.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: We won't talk about that. This, though, now that's a problem.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: A 22-year-old college kid laughing at an AI video.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: That is offensive.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Diana Rossini going out and making whoopee or looking like
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: making whoopee there with an NFL coach.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: You talk about inside reporting. No issue with that. No issue.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: All right, now, last word. To Mississippi we go. The
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: game of the year in college football this weekend. We're
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: just days away from No. 7.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I believe No. 7 LSU. And No. 8 Ole Miss,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: they will duke it out.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: And the athletic director for Ole Miss, somebody named Keith Carter.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Talk about a generic name. Keith Carter, the athletic director
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: at Ole Miss. He says the school's anger towards former
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: head coach Lane Kiffin goes beyond the decision to just
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: exit and go to Baton Rouge and go coach LSU
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: after the 2025 season. Carter says Ole Miss could have
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: accepted Kiffin taking the LSU job. despite being disappointed that
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: he chose to leave and all that. The issue, though,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: according to this athletic director at Ole Miss, the issue,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Carter says, he claims that Lane Kiffin tried to manipulate
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the players and the coaches and worked behind the scenes,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: this is a quote, behind the scenes to hurt us.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Those are his words. Now, Carter says those alleged actions
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: are something that Ole Miss people, he said.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Quote, probably... will.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Never forget or forgive, rather. Probably never will forgive what
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: he did and get past that. This, among calls of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: extra police on hand for the game, they're expecting, I guess,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: some kind of kerfluffle with Lane, and we'll see how
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: that goes this weekend. Anyway, the question, you have the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: athletic director saying, This guy Keith Carter, who says LSU's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, this is the Ole Miss athletic director, who
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: says LSU's Lane Kiffin tried to manipulate players and coaches
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: on his way out of Ole Miss, and people will
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: never get past that. So how does that sound to you? Now,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: they knew exactly what they were getting into in Oxford, Mississippi.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: exactly what they were getting into. They hired Lane Kiffin.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like Lane hadn't had some stuff happen to
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: him over the years. And some of this has gotten
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: out in the years that have passed. There was a
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: book that just popped up about he was such a
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: raging alcoholic at Alabama when he was working with Nick
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Saban that he would just drive... It was like a
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: 90s comedy, early 2000s comedy.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: He would drive.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the Alabama golf cart, the coach's golf cart to some bar,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: some dive bar in Tuscaloosa to pick up the hotties
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and just leave the golf cart there because he was
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: so hammered.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: He'd just leave it there.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: And that's well, it's just like everything, Tennessee, USC, there
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: was a bunch of stuff that followed Lynn Kiffin around.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: So they knew what they were getting when he arrived
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: in Oxford. And if you bring home a King Cobra,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: you might want to keep some anti-venom handy. I'm just saying,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: if you're going to have a King Cobra, you got
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: to have.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: A little anti-venom. That's it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: And so Lane didn't suddenly become Lane Kiffin on his
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: way to Baton Rouge. Yeah.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: So the Ole Miss people.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: The good peeps over there at Ole Miss are in
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: no position, no position to act completely stunned by the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: fang marks from the King Cobra. So instead, you've got
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the athletic director here, this guy, again, the guy's name
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: is Keith Carter, who sounds like the guy whose girlfriend
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: dumped him six months ago and he still obsessively clicks
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: refresh on her Instagram page. trying to figure out everything
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: she's got going on. Ole Miss didn't just lose a
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: football coach when Lane Kiffin left.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: It's more than that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: It's like a nasty custody battle between LSU and Ole Miss,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and they lost that. And according to Carter, the Lane
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: train didn't just leave, of course.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: He didn't just leave. He allegedly loosened the lug nuts
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: on the team bus on the way out of Dodge.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I'm getting out of here. The wound isn't just fresh.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: It's not just a fresh wound. It's actually still bleeding
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: through the bandage at this particular point. And I will add,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: nothing quite says closure. Nothing quite says closure like explaining
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: publicly why you'll never, ever have closure. That you're never,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: ever going to have closure.

• 19:04
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from Denver, fresh off
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the booty-smashing loss at Arrowhead Stadium to Kansas City. Things
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: are not going great in the Mile High City. The
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: worst loss ever to start a season by a team
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: that had won 14 games or more the previous year.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And now we have a follow-up, follow-up to the report
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: that multiple Bronco coaches contacted retired quarterback Drew Brees prior
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to the AFC championship game after Bo Nix went snap, crackle, pop,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and was out with a season-ending foot injury. So if
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you've not heard the latest on this, it's getting juicy.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: It's getting juicy. So perhaps not. Coach Sean Payton, seemingly
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: with a straight face, claims that he knew nothing about
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the discussions. Nothing about the discussions with the Broncos and
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the Drew Brees until after the fact. Let's go to
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the audio tape. Here is the man himself. Here is
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the Broncos head coach, Sean Payton.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Take a listen.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: Drew had reached out, I think, right after the championship
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: or right after the playoff went against Buffalo. I think
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: he called Pete, probably texted Pete or Joe. Those guys, look,
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: none of it even came to my attention. So when
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: the story came up in Canton, I kept thinking they
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: were just, you know, talking about the COVID season and even,
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: even in the COVID season, when he and I discussed
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: possibly coming back for a Monday night game, you know,
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: he had trouble throwing it. So, um, I don't think
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: really anything really came of it. I think in Drew's mind,
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: you know, there's that competitor in him. Um, and so
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: I was kind of out of the loop and, uh,
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's, uh, Yeah, I don't think it's
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: a big story, but nonetheless, it's certainly one that, once
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: they described it to me, it just never got to
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: my level, I guess. He had reached out to Pete,
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: I think, and then Joe.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: All right, so essentially, Sean Payton... He's like, yeah, I'm
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the odd man out here, just like you guys, and
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't really know about it until after the fact.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: He mentioned Joe Lombardi and Pete Carmichael are the two assistants.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: You probably don't know who they are, but the name
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Lombardi is kind of a big name, though.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: We all agree on that? Yeah, it's a big name.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Both of them have been longtime, longtime pals of Drew
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Brees and also with Sean Payton back in the days
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: in New Orleans. So that is a good jumping off point.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question. You've got Sean Payton claiming
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: he did not know he was out of the loop
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: as the head coach of the Denver Broncos that his
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: guys reached out. Of course, he made it seem like
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Drew Brees reached out to his guys. And they worked
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: out Drew Brees prior to the AFC Championship game.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Is this even possible?
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Is it possible that Sean Payton was completely clueless about
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: his coaches working out Drew Brees?
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: So I've got Parachute, Piggly Wiggly.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: And missionaries. And we will combine all of these things together,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and we are going.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: To give you the gas right now. The gas is
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: what we're going to give you. All right, so number one.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Number one. So to answer the question, it's not believable, obviously.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: You'd have to be a total rube to believe that
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Sean Payton had no idea what was going on. When
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I heard him talk, and we just played the long clip.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: There's some other clips out there of Sean Payton. He
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: sounds like a picky eater. He was choosing his words
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: very carefully, almost like he was trying to cover something up. Now,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: what would he be trying to cover up? I don't know.
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Let's just follow the Pedridge Farms chocolate chip cookie crumbs
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: there and let's.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: See where they lead.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: So reading the coaching CYA handbook. The I didn't know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: which is what Sean Payton said multiple times, I didn't know,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: that is a parachute.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: That is an emergency parachute. And that's it.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: When you get put into a situation in a news conference,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: a press conference, whatever, that's what you go to. Sean
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Payton wants us to believe. His own offensive assistants, his.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: subordinates. They work under him.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: He's the head of the pyramid and they're underneath him
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And they went out on their
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: own and made contact or Breeze contacted them and they
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: said nothing and they kicked the tires on Drew Breeze.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: And said, why not? What the hell?
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: And the quarterback coach and the offensive guys and all that,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: they got together. And Peyton, Sean Peyton, who I think
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: they were together for like 15 years or something like that,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Sean Peyton and Drew Rizzo, and I'm sure they probably
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: text each other all the time, and they had no
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: conversation at.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: All about that?
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: None?
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Prior to the AFC Championship game?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Nobody thought, maybe I should mention that to Sean Payton. No,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: of course not. Why would Drew Brees do that? That
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: makes no sense. Come on, man. Come on, seriously.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: So were they running, maybe they had like a rogue
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: speakeasy in the back of the storage room in Denver.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: And then there was like a special, Drew Brees knew
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the password. So he went in there and he worked
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: out in that speakeasy in the back of the storage room,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: which is near the equipment room. And it's where the
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: extra stuff is in the very back there. So Brees
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: and Payton go back to the Bayou Glory days, the
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: greatest Saints team of all time that rose to the
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: top of the mountain with Reggie Bush and whatnot there
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: and won the Super Bowl.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: And all that. So these guys go way, way, way, way, way,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: way back.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: And Sean Payton, the last guy to know in the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Bronco facility.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: The last guy.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: How convenient is that? How convenient is that scenario? So
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: admitting knowledge, if Sean Payton says, oh, yeah, I knew
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, me and Drew talk all the time.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: We text each other.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: We're buddies. We go way back. We're friends for life.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: We won a Super Bowl. We won a Super Bowl.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: We're friends for life.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Admitting knowledge would have opened up Pandora's box. You want
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: to keep Pandora's box closed at all costs because then
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: questions start getting asked, follow-up questions like, who authorized this?
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Did you reach out to Drew? Did he reach out
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: to you? It seemed like there was a method to
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the madness from Sean Payton, how he chose his words
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: there to say, well, we did nothing wrong. Drew Brees
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: contacted us. He reached out to us the way he
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: said that. Now, did Denver contact the Saints? Because there
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: are whispers, and here's what this is all about. There
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: are whispers that the Broncos violated Denver. the tampering rules
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: of the NFL because Drew Brees was on some Fugazi
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: retirement list with the New Orleans football team. Ergo, even
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: though he hasn't played in years, not allowed to talk
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: to him because he's technically still part of some list
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: that the Saints have.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: And so Peyton saying, hey, I didn't know. It's like
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: that old shaggy song, wasn't it? Wasn't it? So he's
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: attempting to close every door open. At one time, Sean Payton.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Now, unfortunately, the explanation by Sean Payton has more gaps
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: than Michael Strahan's old smile back in the day. Apparently,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: his staff, if you were to believe Coach Payton, then
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: his staff was conducting a Drew Brees seance.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: And Sean was on a need-to-know basis, and he did.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Not bother to talk to his subordinates about that, and
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: that's all you need to know. Now, page two. To Arizona.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: To Phoenix, to be exact. Now, the Cardinals are not
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: a good football team, and they proved that with a
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: decision that was reported in the last couple of days here.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: They did beat the Chargers. Now, we are told that Arizona...
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: plans to be judicious about running up the mileage on
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: rookie running back Jeremiah Love. Now, this guy looked good.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: He didn't play that much against the Chargers. I happened
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: to be at that game. He was zooming, zooming, zooming,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: zooming around the field there. And supposedly week number one,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: where the Cardinals pulled the upset there, is said to
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: be a, quote, good window into how they'll manage Jeremiah
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Love's rookie year. Okay, now James Conner, who's been hurt,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: supposedly will be part of the group to lighten the
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: workload when he does come back. Love, by the way,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: had all of 13 touches, 13 touches in week one
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: of the NFL season. So the question, do you agree
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: with the Cardinals' apparent decision to limit the workload for
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: rookie running back Jeremiah Love All right, so this is
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: ridiculous on many levels here.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: You drafted. You suck to draft good players.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: All you idiots that love the draft, the whole point
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: of it is, in theory, you're rewarding bad play by
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: giving the worst teams good players. So if you then
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: get the good players, shouldn't you, I don't.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Know, play them?
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Otherwise, what's the point? What's the point? So you drafted
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love, third overall, and then out of what? An
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: abundance of caution? You've decided that you're not a football team,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: you're a NASCAR team, and you put the restrictor plates on.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: The one guy people actually would buy tickets to watch
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: play football?
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Well, that makes sense. That's smart. Why not?
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: 13 touches.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: That's a haunted number.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: 13 touches.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: You could have found that kind of workload behind a
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Piggly Wiggly.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: OK, what are you doing?
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: You put a governor, you put a governor on a
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: rocket ship. And it made me want to puke in
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: my mouth when I saw this. I hope this is wrong.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I hope this is. one of those things that's just
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: bull crap and not true. I'd like to think that
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: that's not the case. Running backs, and you can correct
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. I know it's a newbie night
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: and all that. You can correct me if I'm wrong.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: But running backs have very short windows of prime dominance.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Is that a fair statement or is that an incorrect statement?
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I believe that's a fair statement. So they have very
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: short windows of success, which I believe, and I might
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: be wrong on this, but I believe is an argument
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: to maximize their time on the field, not to bubble
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: wrap them. When I was growing up, my babushkas, they
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: had these really nice sofas, and us kids couldn't go
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: on the sofas, even though they were covered in plastic.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And it was the dumbest, even as a kid, I said,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: this is so stupid. What's the point of buying a
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: nice sofa and going to wrap it in plastic? And
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I say the same thing about my running back here,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: What are you doing?
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Seriously.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: They're going to go with a running back by committee.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: If this report is accurate in Arizona, please, please stop.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how much you practice load management. When
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: you reach a certain age as a running back, it
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter how many miles you have on the odometer.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: You are given the stamp of cooties as a running back,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: no matter what. It doesn't matter. So what are the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Cardinals saving Jeremiah Love for? Are they planning for a
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: big playoff run in 2034? Is that what they're looking at?
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Trying to save him? What's the point? Why would you
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: waste the pick? You can go get a guy from
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: the Montreal Alouettes, and he can touch the ball 13 times.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Or my favorite team in the CFL, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Come on now.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: All right, meanwhile, final point to TV land. TV land
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: we go. NFL report card time from down under. And
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: it was not the Thunder down under.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: No, it was not.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: So the ratings came out recently, and the NFL second
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: game of the season, second city from Melbourne, Australia, and
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: the 49er Ram game in Melbourne averaged 18.5 million U.S.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Viewers on Netflix.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: That is under the expectation for the audience. That was
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: not something the NFL is bragging about the number of
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: people that watched the game on Netflix. Netflix, not good
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: from what we understand. That's pretty much equal to last year.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Remember they played that game in Brazil between the Chiefs
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and the Chargers? And that was actually on YouTube, which
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: was completely free to watch that game. This was on Netflix,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: which you had to pay. It was pay-to-play.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Although it was on local TV in L.A. and San Francisco.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Nonetheless, the translation is now back-to-back and belly-to-belly softer ratings
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: for the NFL's early season international experiments, because that's really
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: what this is, an experiment. All right, so the question,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: is there a lesson? Is there a lesson in all
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: of this? For the NFL having weaker ratings with early
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: season international matchups. So, yes, this is a teachable moment.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: And I'd like you to step into the classroom here.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: It's a teachable moment. The NFL found the goose that
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: laid the golden egg. And now they're trying to teach
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the goose to speak Australian and other languages around the world.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: This year it was Australian. And that's it.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: And it's like, hey, dumb, dumb. Hey, dumb, dumb at
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Don't mess with the recipe. Do not touch
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the recipe. Whatever you do, do not touch the recipe.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: The recipe. People like the food. They enjoy the food.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: You have the Colonel's blend of 11 herbs and spices
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: right there. And you don't dump in some Vegemite. Into
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: that recipe. You don't do it. Don't put Vegemite in
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: my recipe.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: What are you doing? You tossed it right into the bucket.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Bad job by you.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: So the NFL is of the mindset that these players
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: are not just football players. They can have the role
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: as a football missionary and the evangelizing of pigskin around
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: the world, around the planet.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Going to some isolated villages.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: You know that there's an island, I forget where it is,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: but there's an island where it hasn't been touched by
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: modern society. They still use like bows and arrows and.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Stuff like that. They don't know anything that is modern.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: And like the NFL, in their head, they would go
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: build a stadium there and give those native people a
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: chance of watching NFL football.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Well, they don't want to watch NFL football. They're living
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: their life just fine. That's it. No, no, no. We
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: need to go there and teach them to cover, too.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Very important. Very important.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: The NFL needs to stop congratulating itself for putting football
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: in exotic locations. And you don't have to do this.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I know why you're doing it. It's because of greed.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: And all that.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: And the NFL's got this football everywhere, anytime slogan that
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Which sounds really good in one of those big boardrooms
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: on Madison Avenue.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Our slogan is football everywhere, anytime. Of course, in reality,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: people are creatures of habit. The NFL played a game
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday this year, the year before they played on Friday.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: And it's just overextending yourself. There is a limit. They've achieved.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the impossible, the NFL, by making people now have to
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: work to watch the games. It was always the easiest
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: product to get. And if you've ever taken a business class,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: the more steps that someone has to do to get
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: your product, the harder it's going to be to sell
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: your product.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: We talk often about doing broadcasting here, not narrowcasting, because
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: we're on. You can find the show and stumble into
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: the show, like our friend in Connecticut who just stumbled
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: in to the show because somebody gave him an old
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: dusty transistor radio and he just happened to find the program.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: But people, if they have to work for something, most
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: people are not going to be that motivated and you're
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: offending your loyal audience. And that's a bad job by you.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: It's like they're lab rats in some kind of media
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: distribution experiment. And listen, I can get all the games.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I'm getting old, but I'm not that old yet. But
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: my guys like Dick and Dayton and our buddy John
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: in Anchorage, Alaska, these.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Guys, I can't find the game. What are you talking?
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: So stop making the customer hunt around to try to
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: find the game because they're just going to either not
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: watch the game or just go watch some Russian website
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: or North Korean website and watch the game that way.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Some illegal stream.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
• 36:41

• 36:47
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Away we go!
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: After the Cardinals pulled off the biggest upset of the week,
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: coach Mike LaFleur said confidence is great, but we got
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: to reset and get back to work.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Now, Ben, you said the team isn't trying to win.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: How many accidental wins do you think they'll pull off this?
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: They'll win four or five games. The Cardinals at some point,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: they're going to wake up and realize they're the Cardinals.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: And that's a winnable game this week.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks without, you know, they don't, Drew Locke's no good,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: so that should be a closer game, but I say
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: they'll win four or five games. Next!
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Derrick Henry has now pulled into third place all time
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: with 125 rushing touchdowns. Only LaDainian Tomlinson and Emmitt Smith
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: have more. Henry's showing no signs of slowing down. Do
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: you think he can catch either of those guys? We'll
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: see how long he's going to play. Let's check back
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: also in November, Coop. It's the first week of the year.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Let's see how he's doing in November. But yeah, the
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: way he looked, I'd be crazy to say no.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Next!
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: Jalen Duren now feels disrespected by the Pistons and is
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: eyeing the Sacramento Kings as a new home. Detroit says
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: they still want him back. They want to repair the relationship.
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: How do you think this is going to go?
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: So it's either the Sacramento Kings or the team in Pyongyang.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Good luck. Enjoy Sacramento, pal. How do we do? You
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: pass this.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: That is a win. Put it on the board.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: That's all I want. C-minus pass. C's get degrees.
• 38:03

  Speaker 3: Off with their heads. No, I'm kidding.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: Hi.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Seems violent.
• 38:54
  Speaker 7: It's the Queen of Hearts. That's what she does in
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: Alice in Wonderland, is it not?
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: That's fake.
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: Off with their heads.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: It's not a documentary. Never heard of fiction, nonfiction.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: She's real to me.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Well, let's get to the questions here. Lorraine, any opening
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: statement or right to the questions?
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: Let's get into the love or other things or other things.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Exactly. What do we have here? Let's see. First up
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: is Will T. Hello, Will T. He says, would.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: You rather love with your heart, your brain or with
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: your soul?
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's funny you didn't ask with my, like, libido
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: or something, you know? Because sometimes that leads love a lot.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: That's called something else, I believe.
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: I usually have to go with my brain, because if
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: my brain isn't on board, the rest of me just
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: can't go along either. That has to go first.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Just upset a lot of people, Lorena, by saying your brain.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Fergdog writes in and says, what's the better way to
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: get over a girl who dumped you?
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Make up rumors about her or make an AI video
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: of her getting slapped?
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: Um, I don't, that's a, that's a good one because
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: there's many ways you could get over women. Those are,
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: those are both good.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: Scorn.
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: Scorn is nice. Get your aggression out without actually, you know,
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: doing it. You could also, a lot of people like
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: to just start dating again. That would be a nice,
• 40:21
  Speaker 7: healthy thing.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: That's hard. That's hard.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: Control your anger.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: JT the Wingman writes in, he says, when in the relationship,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: is it okay to start sharing chapters of the Kama Sutra?
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: Ooh, it depends on how fast you move in that relationship.
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: But the Kama Sutra can be fun to explore with
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: your partner, especially if one of you already has a
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: little bit of knowledge. You could work that in beforehand
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: and they'll be like, oh.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: My gosh, why are you so good at this? And
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: then you'll be like, because I've studied. There you go.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Late Night Drug Tester writes in. It's Queen of Hearts
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: with Lorena. Love advice.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: It's like a show called Love Line. She's doing it
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: right now. This is her giving love wisdom. Late Night
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Drug Tester writes in and says, which is a better
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: reason for a surprise date tonight to celebrate the first
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: ever episode of Judge Judy or Dr. Phil, which was
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: 30 and 24 years ago today?
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I heard Judge Judy is retiring.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: I saw that on a news article like two days ago.
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: It might have been bad, not real news. I didn't
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: double check, but I'm pretty sure that's what it said.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: Well, Judge Judy is in her 80s, right?
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: 87.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, wait, no, that was our caller earlier. No, no, no.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: According to the internet, she's 83.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: 83. All right. Oh, there's nepotism, NFL-level nepotism. Judge Judy,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: it says she's handing the gavel over to her son. Oh,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: my gosh.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: That's not right. That's bullcrap. Do you know what her
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: son's nickname should be? Bronny.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: No! Good one.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Thank you. I'll be here all night.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I like that one.
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: That was good.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Okay, you're approved.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Deacon Blues writes in for Lorena. Says, again, hashtag Queen
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: of Hearts, looking for a couple's cross-dressing costume ideas.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: Costume contest winning ideas. Oh, my gosh.
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: Dolly Parton would be a really good one. You could
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: be Dolly Parton and her husband. You know, you do
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: her and she does him. He wants cross-dressing costumes.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Costumes oh think about it jason that'd be fun jason
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: says can you sing the playing with the queen of
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: hearts song from the early 80s that's from jason.
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: Playing with the queen you know he wants me to
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: play as a comeback i can do that later yeah
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: i can do that.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: All right um mike the leprechaun your pal writes in
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: says would lorena be jealous of her friend being chosen
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: for the honey shot On the big street, even though
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: she was sitting next to your friend.
• 42:43
  Speaker 7: No, I only keep ugly people around me, so there's
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: no chance of that happening.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: There have been women that have been known to do that, Lorena.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's less competition. Women don't like me. I don't
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: know what it is.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Really? I don't know. Let's get into that, Lorena. Why
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: would women not like you? What have you done to
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: upset the ladies?
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: I think it's because their men wake up in the
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: middle of the night saying my name.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: And it's really awkward. Wow, look at that.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: It's very uncomfortable. Well, that's something we have in common
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: because women don't like me either. Well, that's for different reasons, Ben. Exactly,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: much different reasons. Much different reasons of that. There it is,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: the queen of hearts. Tremendous job. What a great day.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: With Lorena.
