  Speaker 2: shoutouts overnight show, and I just that's a mention. That's
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: not a shout out, that's a mention. And so there
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: you go, Overnight. Shoe the man at w h e
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: C ten master control all night, and he's been loyal
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to our show. So if anything goes wrong, it's not
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: our fault at all. All right, we're all on the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: same page on that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Not our fault, Houston.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: We have a problem.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Now if stuff goes well, and he's in Rochester, so
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: if stuff goes well, then we're we're gonna take credit.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: But if anything goes bad, it's not our fault. Blame
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: somebody else there. We had nothing to do with it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Our lead this hour, though, play the hits, mom, Man,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: play the hits, all right, We'll play the hits.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: We're gonna play the hits. What a story, this is,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: what a gift?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Content hand delivered from one of the great malcontents in
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the NFL dateline social media, where wide receiver Brandon Ayuk.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Yet that guy got paid and forgot how to play.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Brandon aok is public feud with the forty nine ers escalating,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: which is always good talk radio, the building blocks of
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: good talk radio, a standoff at the spoiled athlete corral,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and that's what we have here, soap. Let me give
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: you the brief thumbnail recap and then we'll start attacking here.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: In a cryptic video on the gram over the weekend,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Brandon Iuk wearing a Washington commander's hat. Mind you, he plays,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: not that he's played in a while, but he's property
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: of the forty nine ers, and he was wearing that
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: ugly commander's hat. And he compared himself to a toy,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: compared himself to a toy that the forty nine ers
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: don't know how to use properly. Of course, the Niners
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: have washed their hands with him, they just haven't gotten
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: rid of him now. He suggested the wide receiver, Brandon
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Ayuck suggested another team would make better use of him
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and directly called out the Niners as scared. Yeah, they're
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: scared to let him go, according to the player, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the question is rather simple. What is forty nine ers
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: wide receiver Brandon Ayuck actually hoping to accomplish with his
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: latest social media rant? All right, so on this one,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: we've got Lego's brisket and Margarita's and we'll combine all
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: of these things together and we'll go ABC and one,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: two three. You always start though, at number one? What
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: number one? What number number one? So it's simple. This
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: one's not that hard. It's an Okham's razor situation. The
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: simplest answer is the right answer here. He is getting.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Frustrated, The player is frustrated. He is annoyed.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: The NFL season begins in ninety four days or so,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: give or take. Training camp begins in about a month
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and in a couple of days, so we're getting closer,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and he is stuck at Loggerheads, Brandon Ayuk with the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers here, and so he's trying to expedite
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: his departure. He wants an on time departure from the
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers here, and it's like he's a guy
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: passionately banging the closed door button.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: On the elevator.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: You know, he's like, I closed, the door will not close.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I want to close the door on the niners that
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: you kept hitting the button. Yeah, the same thing at
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the cross rock. If you're ever wading around in a
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: city and you hit the crosswalk button. I remember there
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: was a story a few years back that said those
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: buttons don't do anything, that it's a waste of time
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: in most cities, that they don't activate anything. That the
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: signals are all programmed to be on a certain time,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter how many times.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: He hit that.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know about the elevator. I think the elevator
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: thing's legit. Anyway, this is not a football story at
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: this point. The reason it's not a football story is
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: because Brandon IoK's not a football player. He's a former
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: football player who hasn't played in a long time. This
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: has become a daytime talk show from back when they
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: used to have good daytime talk shows back in the day.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Except they're wearing shoulder pads, although he's not even knowing that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: That would mean Brandon IoK's after playing and we know
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: he's not doing that. Of course, there's also the active
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: arrest warrant for speed racing around the forty nine ers
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: stadium and then making sure to record it in four
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: D so everyone could see it and all that. So
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: calling himself a toy is kind of an interesting position
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to take, and I'd like to expand on that. The Niners,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure, stopped playing with him as the toy
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: a couple of Christmases ago. So it's been a minute,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: like it's been a minute here, and Brandon Aok, he's
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: not really negotiating. We're past the point of negotiation here.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: He's at this point having a temper tantrum, throwing his
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: legos off the wall, hoping they bounce over and then
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: John Lynch and Shanahan will step on them with their
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: bare feet. That's what he's hoping happens here. And he's
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: been ghosting. By all accounts, Brandon Aok has been ghosting
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the big shots in sam Itis goes so long?
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: How long?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Thanks for asking? So long?
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: That this is like the NFL's version. It's like changing
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the relationship status to it's complicated. At this particular point,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: it's complicated. The Commander's remain the overwhelming favorite to acquire
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the services of Brandon Ayuck from the forty nine ers.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: He played college ball with Jaden Daniels who was at
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Arizona State with the Sun Devils and Tim b where
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: all the beautiful people are before going off to baton Rouge.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: They're not ugly, they're either and Washington. If you look
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: at their depth chart, there's not a lot there. They
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: need a wide receiver too, right next to Terry McLaurin,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: so they need a guy to slot in there. And
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: John Lynch already made it clear, already made it clear
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: that IUC has played his last snap in the Bay
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Area and this is just the world's slowest breakup. I
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: love the fact that he went on I assume NFL
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: shop dot com ioke to buy a hat or Jaden
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Daniels give him that hat. You think that was like
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: a freebe he got from Jaden Daniels. He didn't actually
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: go and buy it himself. It's possible now page two.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Keeping the good times rolling on here, all right? So
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the other question I had is why are the forty
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: nine ers. Why are the forty nine ers here holding
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: tightly to Brandon Iyok. Why are they holding on to
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: this guy when he don't want to be there. He
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: hasn't played in a long time, and he's now going
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: around wearing merch from other NFL teams while he is
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: technically property of the forty nine ers. So they're calling it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: The Niners have let their beat guys know. Whether it's
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: a salary cap situation, it's all because of the cap. Remember,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: the salary cap is the ultimate excuse for anything that
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: you do. You blame it on the cap. It's all
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I we'd love to have done that, but it's the cap.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: And that's what's coming to Major League Baseball. You people
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: that love your little salary caps. When your team doesn't
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: acquire someone, they're gonna say it's because of the cap,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: just like NFL t same and in the NFL it's bullshoy,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: is what it is. In the NFL, it's always the cap, cap,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: cap cap. The cap is crap, The cap is crap.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: The cap is crap, The cap is crap. That's the cap.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: So in any other industry, in any other industry, at
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: this point, you'd call it hr waiting for the paperwork
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: to clear. The Niners are like, well, now it's the cap.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: And he remains on the reserve left squad list, which
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: is apparently a thing. Brandon Auk reserved left squad list,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: we are told, meaning the forty nine ers are not
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: paying him, so he's not getting the salary. He's stuck
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: on the natty list. Auk is on the knotty list
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: there with the Ford now is more importantly a gigantic
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: chunk of that one hundred and twenty million dollar contract
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: that he signed a couple of years ago, the extension
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: he signed back in twenty twenty four, continues to pro
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: rate against the salary cap as long as he's on
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: the roster. So there's some legal gymnastics are not legal
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: mathematical gymnastics that you have to jump through.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: We have Malard math. So we're good on that.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: That said, really they're just keeping my believe. This is
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the Malard conspiracy theory, the Illuminati. The Illuminati tells me
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: they're keeping him to send a message. And you rattle
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the snake, you get stung. That's the message. You rattle
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the snake, you get stung, and I rattle it and
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: John Lynch is happily holding the anti venom saying, ha ha,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I've got the anti venom.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: You don't.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: So this is a warning shot. And they're trying to
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: make an example out of Brandon. IOK, the forty nine
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: ers that.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Hey, listen.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Down the line, maybe two years, three years, five years,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: ten years, there'll be another player that comes along that's
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: in a similar situation, that signs a contract and then
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: they decide they don't want to play, and they cause
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: all these problems and all that stuff, and so they're
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: sending the message like, listen, don't mess with us. The
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: message is rather simple. And so John Lynch is slow
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: cooking this thing, this release or trade like a brisket.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: You know, you gotta put a brisket in the oven,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: a nice Sunday brisket, but you got to put that
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: in there a couple days before, make that slow cook
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: for hours and hours and hours and hours, low heat,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: all right, long, wait there, put some potatoes around that thing,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: little garlic and maximum tenderness, chef's kiss. So that's for
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, of course, not for the player.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: And my theory has been the Niners are gonna wait
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to the very last minute. They're gonna see if he
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: shows up or not the training camp, and then if
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: he shows up, at that point they'll say turn out
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: the lasts. The parties over, get out of here, all right,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and then they're gonna wait. And the reason you wait
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: is you want to stick it to the player. So
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: everyone will have spent their allotted money. There won't be
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: much money left on the market for the player to
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: get and he'll be paid peanuts. Now he could end
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: up in Washington, he'll he'll just not get much money.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: And the Niners are playing this to their absolute advantage,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: as you would expect, because they feel like they were
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: screwed over by the employee, and they'll do something at
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the very last second. That's how they should play this.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: We'll see if I'm right. It'll be interesting to see
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: if he does actually report and how they handle that
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: at that point. Now, final point, we go to the Bahamas.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: The Bahama, Mama we Go and Fox sideline reporter Aaron
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Andrews is catching some serious flack.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: What did Aaron Andrews do?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: The Fox sideline reporter, Well, she posted some vacation photos,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: which wouldn't have been a problem if she wasn't on
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: a vacation with Matthew Stafford, the Rams quarterback and his family.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Huh say what? Yes?
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Andrews, along with Kelly Stafford, that annoying podcast woman, Matthew Stafford.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Now we should also point out Aaron Andrews husband was
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: there as well, that old hockey guy that was washed up.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Who else Carrissa Thompson who also works does TV.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And they were all.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Vacationing apparently together in the Bahamas, the Baker's Bay area
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: if you're familiar with the Bahamas. And now photos have
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: been bouncing around from the boat trip there in the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Bahamas showing the group together, smiling, having a great time.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Andrews even shared one of the photos on her Instagram page,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: and the critics, of course, have attacked the journalistic ethics
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: of a NFL sideline reporter vacationing in the Bahamas alongside
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: a starting quarterback, the most valuable player in the NFL.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: So the question should should an NFL sideline reporter like
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Aaron Andrews, who seemingly the NFL be vacationing with the
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: ENVP of the NFL rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and his
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: fam all late? All right, so everyone involves. My part
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: of the story that I'm fashionated by is the people
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: involved in this. All the actors in this little play
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: seem genuinely shocked that anyone would dare question this activity.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: To me, that's the root of the problem. Like they
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: don't seem to understand, like this doesn't seem to look
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: very good. They don't have a problem with it. That's
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the thing. They don't seem to have an issue with it.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: And of course the reason is they're not Aaron Andrews
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: is not a journalist. None of these people are journalists
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: that work in the NFL. They're not I and they
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: don't see this as an issue because they're like, what's
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: the problem. We're just all friends here, and how do
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: you of course, the obviously, if you were to objectively
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: cover like Matthew Stafford, right, a terrible couple of games
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: during the season, whatever happens, then okay, you.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Can't cover him. If you're sipping margaritis with him on a.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Boat, it's very difficult when your buddy buddy. Of course,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: you don't have objectivity. If that is the case here,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: and if you're vacationing with the people who you supposedly cover,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: you're not reporting on the NFL, you're participating in the NFL.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: There is a slight difference there, and this, of course
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: is how they make the sausage. You're not supposed to
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: see how they make the sausage. The lines get blurred.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Ask Diana Russini about that. They often get erased. And
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: it's all one big buddy buddy country club, family friends
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and football retreats where they all hang out together. And
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: if you want to know who the mark is, look
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: in the mirror. You're the mark. If you think otherwise,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: you are the absolute mark. Imagine back in the day.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I remember when I was a kid, I heard stories about.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: The old days and journalism. Oh, they covered the president. Reporters.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: It was a very serious job.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Imagine like if Walter Cronkite, considered the greatest TV Guide
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: reporter of his generation, if he was like sunbathing ends
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: with Richard Nixon. They were putting sun tan on each
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: other's backs like they would Because I understand, it's not
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: the White House, it's just football.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I get it. I understand. However, that's what we are now,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: that's where we are now.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: And the NFL at one point there was some of that.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Now everyone's in bed with everyone else and so it's
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: just like a nice trip to the theme park. The
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: NFL and the reporters are just cast members. That's what
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: they are, and you have to accept it because that's
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: the reality of the situation. And if anything really negative
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: comes out, they just ignore it. For example, Diana Russini,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: that story seemingly problematic to the integrity of the NFL media,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: and the NFL me World didn't have a comment because
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: they didn't know. This goes on apparently all the time.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Everyone's in bed with everyone else or on boats in
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: the Bahamas having a great time.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: It's the NFL's version of pro wrestling. And you get
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: a backstage pass, and you get a backstage pass, and

• 22:20
  Speaker 2: wouldn't it be great if John Lynch performed some skulduggery
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: and traded Brandon Ayuck to the factory of sadness for
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: some of those scratchers they got from the Rams. Oh,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: that'd be so good. I wouldn't put it past John Lynch. Like,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: where's the least attractive team to go to? It's always
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: the factory of sadness?
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: There, you say? In Cleveland.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: They every time they occasionally get somebody good, they trade them,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: get rid of them. That's how they do things. Sean writes,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: and he says, as a as the sole creator of
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: the film The Ballad of Benoit Benjamin, I am proud
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: to let you know that we are about to hit
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: one thousand views on you YouTube. If I ever get divorced,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: I think my wife may use that against me in court. Well, congratulations, Sean,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I am impressed. That you were able to track down
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Beanoit Benjamin. I'm a little disappointed you did not contact
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: me to I have many Banoit Benjamin stories. I was
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: around him at the end of his playing career, not
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: in the glory days with the clips, when he was
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: playing for like the Sonics and some other teams and
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: they'd come into LA and I have a buddy of
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: mine who's friends with him.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: But I'm very happy you tracked him down.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Everyone who covered the NBA in those days has a
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Beanoyit Benjamin story.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: The stuff of legends and so they go.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: If you have not seen it, I should get Sean
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: on my podcast at some point to talk about behind
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: the scenes, because I figure since that thing's only got
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: a thousand views, he'll probably tell me all the dirt
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: on Benoit.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: At this point he.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Did threaten though, Sean threatened to give Banoit my number
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: and then he'll start calling me NonStop, like doc Mike.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I want that. So not a
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: great idea. Yeah, it's cool that you made a documentary
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: about one of the great characters of the nineteen eighties
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: nineties NBA.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: That is that is solid. What else do we have?
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Let's see page Dan Mister Irrigation says Brandon Ayuck isn't
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: even on the forty nine of the depth chart according
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: to the Google Just google it, you say, Gary writes,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: And he said, been listening to you off and on
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: for several years now, and I see your social media sometimes.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: That's cool. The way you interact with your fans. You
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: seem like a good dude. You don't do.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Shout outs, he said. Since you don't do shout outs,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I will give a shout out to you. Well, thank you, Gary.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. And Gary's got that look. He's got
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: that in his photo. He kind of looks like Steve Bartman.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: You're not Steve Bartman. All your Gary, did you change
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: your name Gary from Steve Bartman? You have that Bartman look.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: He's got the headphones, he's got the hat, the glasses,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: he's got that. You know, it's a good looking man.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: But you know, I just got the the Bartman look.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: If you know who? Does any even know?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Larina? Do you know who Steve Bartman is?
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: No?
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I don't belie if I do. Who do you think
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Steve Bartman is? Hmmm, well maybe the son of Bart Simpson.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Steve Bartman.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, that is correct, Yes, that is a spot on. Yeah,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: to be fair, that's a tough one. Yeah, you know,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: that's been twenty three I.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: Was gonna say, and I'm not like, I'm not saying
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: this to be mean, but I think there's a decent
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: chance that a number of the editors that work here
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: don't know what you mean.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. I was sitting in the other room.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: We were counting down to the Cubs and won the pennant.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: They were going to the World Series. It was what
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: game was that was that Game five or game six
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: of the It was playing the Marlins.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I remember that.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: It was Cubs and Marlins at Wrigley Field, and moyses
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Alou went over and tried to catch a ball and
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: this guy named Steve Bartman, we didn't know his name
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: at the time. Game six, Game six, oh yeah. And
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: then they lost Game seven after that, and so he
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: was just a fan and he interfered with the ball,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: and then the Marlins came back and won the game.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: And that guy, here's the amazing thing. He's been twenty
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: three years. He's done no interviews, Nobody knows anything about him.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: He's just gone on and lived his life. He was
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: probably in his mid twenties, so he's got to be
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: close to fifty.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: If not older than that at this point. And just
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: that's it. Just didn't it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Was offered a lot of money to do interviews back
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: in those days. They offered money twenty three years ago
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: for these kind of interviews. Didn't do any of them.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Just didn't want the publicity. There was like a mob
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: outside Wrigley Field. He had to sneak out. It's a
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: crazy night.
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: I didn't know this that the Cubs gave him a
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: championship ring after the oh after they won in twenty sixteen.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, did he take it?
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: It doesn't It doesn't say okay, but yeah, I mean
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: it says no interviews. He continues to live quietly in
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: the Chicago suburbs. Strict level of privacy.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's crazy. And he turned out he mustn't make it.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: He must be making good money. Not back then though
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: he was a young guy.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: I mean, I understand the level of privacy after it happened,
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: you know, I mean, you're kind of worried about your safety.
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: But once they won the World Series, I feel like
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: Aull's forgiven at that point, right.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: That was thirteen years later. Yeah, a cub second World series.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: That's their their argument. Yeah, it's interesting, it's it's maybe
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: you can I get him on my podcast. Co see,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I can get Bartman on my podcast. I'll put him
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: on the i'llut him on the Fifth Hour podcast super
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Market super Maricot Steve writes in as I cleared my throat,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: he says, were you around the night when Benoit forgot
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: his shoes and couldn't play in the game, Then the
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: very next day brought to right shoes.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: That was before my time.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I was not I was not there, although I think
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: I heard every Beanoit Benjamin story when I started. It
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: was only a few years after Benoit had left the Clippers,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: and everyone had a Beanoyit Benjamin story. And the next
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: one that was told was better than every other story
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: that you heard, whether it involved the Clippers practicing at
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: a high school across you know, or he would you know,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: whatever stuff happened, or the speed.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: But I got a million stories. They didn't make the
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: documentary was unfortunate. Let's go to the phones. Let's say
