- 2:14Speaker 1: Eddie said, Hey what about DraftKings. That's right. This show
- 2:16Speaker 1: is also sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook, un official sports betting
- 2:21Speaker 1: partner of the NFL. And then b A right now

- 2:33Speaker 1: at DraftKings. The crown is yours. So we had an
- 2:39Speaker 1: NFL game last night and it wasn't a great game.
- 2:43Speaker 1: The Lions led pretty much the entire way and they
- 2:46Speaker 1: ended up winning the game by two touchdowns. The story
- 2:50Speaker 1: that everyone's gonna be talking about the next twenty four
- 2:52Speaker 1: hours is the malfeasance of George Pickens. And we saw it.
- 2:57Speaker 1: We saw it. It was the George Pickens that we
- 3:01Speaker 1: had in in Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin said, Hey, I remember
- 3:07Speaker 1: that guy. Yeah, that deliberate indifference by George Pickens, the misconduct,
- 3:15Speaker 1: the football malpractice. I don't know how many other ways
- 3:17Speaker 1: I can say it. He was a bad, bad bad
- 3:21Speaker 1: bad to the bone, bad of the bone. So the
- 3:24Speaker 1: Cowboys lose and they are not going to the playoffs.
- 3:29Speaker 1: They're done. That's a stick of forking them, whatever cliche
- 3:33Speaker 1: you want to use, that's that's that's it. So our
- 3:38Speaker 1: lead this hour instead is about a different receiver in Minnesota.
- 3:42Speaker 1: That would be wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Now, there's been
- 3:45Speaker 1: a lot of chatter that behind the scenes, Justin Jefferson
- 3:51Speaker 1: is not a happy camper. There's been a lot of
- 3:53Speaker 1: complaining and he got paid and right now he's just
- 3:58Speaker 1: kind of doing cardio during these games. He's not really
- 4:01Speaker 1: doing anything of note. He can get a guy out
- 4:04Speaker 1: of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to do what Justin Jefferson's
- 4:07Speaker 1: were doing recently at wide receivers. So he attempted to
- 4:11Speaker 1: push back when asked by the local fourth estate there
- 4:15Speaker 1: in Minnesota. The local media guys, whether he is worried
- 4:18Speaker 1: that the Vikings are wasting his prime? These are the
- 4:22Speaker 1: prime years of his career, and boy, they they're terrible,
- 4:27Speaker 1: absolutely terrible, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, all right, So
- 4:31Speaker 1: if he didn't see what he said, maybe not. Did
- 4:34Speaker 1: he call the Viking quarterbacks crumb bums? No, he didn't
- 4:38Speaker 1: do that. He didn't do that, he said, quote No,
- 4:41Speaker 1: I wouldn't say wasted. Justin Jefferson said, obviously, it's a
- 4:46Speaker 1: difficult season. It's probably one of the most difficult seasons
- 4:49Speaker 1: just off of the circumstances having a young quarterback, having
- 4:53Speaker 1: a different team, having young players on the team. So
- 4:57Speaker 1: it's just one of those years. Not every year's going
- 5:00Speaker 1: to be a top tier year for me, he said.
- 5:03Speaker 1: It's all part of the game, he said, So it's
- 5:06Speaker 1: just on me to expect a lot from these these guys.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, that is a good
- 5:14Speaker 1: jumping off point, and let's discuss the question. Have the
- 5:20Speaker 1: Vikings botched a prime year of Justin Jefferson's career? Have
- 5:26Speaker 1: they botched this? And my take on it, I've got Nirvana,
- 5:31Speaker 1: rotten Tomatoes and Penata, so Nervada and Nirvana, Penata and
- 5:37Speaker 1: rotten Tomatoes, and we'll put them all together and we're
- 5:40Speaker 1: gonna make some gold to Bouyon. Yeah, look at that
- 5:44Speaker 1: gold Bouleon for it. Now the lead off. Obviously, obviously
- 5:49Speaker 1: the Vikings have fetched around and play stupid games, win
- 5:55Speaker 1: stupid game prizes. They have batched a season of the
- 5:59Speaker 1: very prime of Justin Jefferson's career by doing this weird
- 6:05Speaker 1: dance at the quarterback position. So as Snoop would say,
- 6:08Speaker 1: fox shizzle, I think he said that. But this one
- 6:11Speaker 1: isn't even up for debate because Justin Jefferson tried to
- 6:15Speaker 1: sweeten it up and we gave you I read the quotes,
- 6:19Speaker 1: but you know it's not a nothing burger if you
- 6:23Speaker 1: gave out truth serum like Aaron Rodgers drinks Ayahuasca, Minnesota.
- 6:29Speaker 1: What they did here is they took a very bougie
- 6:33Speaker 1: private jet of PJ and they they turned a private
- 6:38Speaker 1: jet into a motel ice machine, which I didn't even
- 6:42Speaker 1: know what is possible, but they did it. And the
- 6:45Speaker 1: ice machine is loud, unreliable, and if you have a
- 6:48Speaker 1: room right next to it, it'll keep you up all
- 6:50Speaker 1: all night when you try to sleep at the night.
- 6:52Speaker 1: You know, nighttime hours there and no one knows why
- 6:54Speaker 1: it's even there, doesn't many sense, but there it is.
- 6:58Speaker 1: And you don't land. You don't hate a guy thirty
- 7:01Speaker 1: five million a year, which I believe is where Jefferson
- 7:03Speaker 1: is financially, and then you throw him into a quarterback
- 7:08Speaker 1: blender with JJ McCarthy and Max Prosber like. This is
- 7:12Speaker 1: not player development, it's witness protection, wide receiver, Netflix docu
- 7:20Speaker 1: series stuff like here's the cold hard malor math Jefferson
- 7:27Speaker 1: entered this season averaging ninety six and a half yards
- 7:32Speaker 1: per game. I just bear with me. I know there
- 7:34Speaker 1: should never be math on the radio. I'm not paying attention, dude,
- 7:38Speaker 1: I'm driving, man, I'm trying to wake up. Just deal
- 7:40Speaker 1: with it. So Jefferson was averaging ninety six point five
- 7:44Speaker 1: yards per game. That was the top number in NFL history.
- 7:49Speaker 1: I'm told that's pretty good now with the Kitty Combo dish,
- 7:54Speaker 1: And really it's mostly JJ McCarthy max started one game,
- 7:59Speaker 1: He's averaging four six yards per game. That is a
- 8:01Speaker 1: fifty two percent decline, a fifty two percent decline in production.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson has become the Nirvana track. Half the man
- 8:13Speaker 1: I used to be, right, half the man I used
- 8:16Speaker 1: to be. Minnesota took a Hall of Fame trajectory career
- 8:21Speaker 1: and this year they parked it behind a construction detour,
- 8:26Speaker 1: is what they've done. And we talked about malpractice with
- 8:31Speaker 1: the Cowboys in their situation with George Pickens. Well you
- 8:35Speaker 1: would also say what's gone on in Minnesota is a
- 8:38Speaker 1: reckless disregard for the consequences of action one's actions, Like
- 8:43Speaker 1: they clearly picked the wrong quarterback. JJ McCarthy looks horrible,
- 8:47Speaker 1: and he didn't throw the ball much at Michigan, Like
- 8:50Speaker 1: what were they thinking? They must have been sold The
- 8:53Speaker 1: Greatest Bill of Goods by Jim Harball or somebody around McCarthy,
- 8:56Speaker 1: because this guy looks like he should be selling insurance
- 8:59Speaker 1: somewhere up playing quarterback in the NFL. My god, is
- 9:01Speaker 1: he horrible. He just sucks. And that's the guy they
- 9:05Speaker 1: picked and they red shirted him. They took a year off.
- 9:08Speaker 1: He got hurt, but he was in all the meetings
- 9:10Speaker 1: and he was learning by watching. And he went out
- 9:13Speaker 1: there and looks like he's never played football before. It
- 9:16Speaker 1: looks like he's a rugby player or something like that.
- 9:18Speaker 1: I don't know what, or maybe he's playing I mean,
- 9:22Speaker 1: I don't know what. Tennis. God, it's not good. That's
- 9:26Speaker 1: not good. So you look in when you're looking into
- 9:31Speaker 1: the crystal ball. I have owned crystal ball. I'm also
- 9:35Speaker 1: a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostradinas. He
- 9:38Speaker 1: lives in Seattle. I like him. His wife's a vegan though.
- 9:41Speaker 1: All right, sorry, looking into the crystal ball. Mark this now.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Tattoo this on your forearm if you have to. If
- 9:49Speaker 1: this continues, if you don't see anything, there's no spark
- 9:54Speaker 1: from JJ McCarthy, then justin Jefferson is going to start
- 10:00Speaker 1: grumbling and he's gonna start eyeing the NFL's version of
- 10:04Speaker 1: the transfer portal, and you mark my words, and I'm
- 10:08Speaker 1: never wrong about this. I will guarantee you that once
- 10:12Speaker 1: we get through the rest of the regular season and
- 10:15Speaker 1: the playoffs, as Fox Sports Radio lomn this, Jim Moore
- 10:18Speaker 1: would say, And if the Saints don't do Diddley pooh
- 10:23Speaker 1: with JJ McCarthy the rest of the way, then you're
- 10:27Speaker 1: gonna have teams coming around saying what would it take
- 10:31Speaker 1: to get Justin Jefferson. Well, that's a big contract. I know,
- 10:33Speaker 1: it's a big contract. He's a good player, though, he's
- 10:35Speaker 1: a good ballplayer. You imagine the Patriots, for example. I
- 10:39Speaker 1: just do the old speculation game. So the Patriots are
- 10:42Speaker 1: on this magic carpet, right and they're playing a bunch
- 10:46Speaker 1: of tomato cans, and they're winning these games and just great.
- 10:50Speaker 1: They're fake it till you make it, and they're chest thumping,
- 10:52Speaker 1: having a great time, and it's like the Patriots are back.
- 10:55Speaker 1: It's like these are the Patriots that where they were
- 10:57Speaker 1: winning every every year they were winning twelve games. Seem like,
- 11:01Speaker 1: if you're the Patriots and let's say you get to
- 11:04Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game, you f it up. You don't
- 11:06Speaker 1: get to the Super Bowl, get to the AFC Championship Game.
- 11:09Speaker 1: You've got Drake May still on a rookie contract for
- 11:11Speaker 1: a couple more years. Why would you not trade two
- 11:14Speaker 1: first round draft picks and two second round picks to
- 11:16Speaker 1: get Justin Jefferson. If the Vikings would do it, they
- 11:19Speaker 1: do it. If Jefferson says I want out. If you're
- 11:21Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, you only got a couple more years
- 11:23Speaker 1: of Josh Allen before he starts to fall off the map,
- 11:27Speaker 1: why wouldn't you go make that move. If you're the
- 11:29Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, why wouldn't you make the You can't rule
- 11:33Speaker 1: any of that out, all right, So we'll file that
- 11:36Speaker 1: one away. I'm gonna put that on a posted note.
- 11:39Speaker 1: We're gonna wait for the Hot Stove League and then
- 11:41Speaker 1: we'll revisit this, because it looks pretty clear on this
- 11:46Speaker 1: side of a microphone that the Vikings picked the wrong quarterback,
- 11:50Speaker 1: and that is going to cause a lot of collateral damage.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Because JJ McCarthy is a dog with fleas, a lot
- 11:57Speaker 1: of people are gonna need a flea back, all right.
- 11:59Speaker 3: Now.
- 11:59Speaker 1: Furthermore to Denver, we go, speaking of questionable quarterback play now.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Back in November, you might remember, on these microphones in
- 12:08Speaker 1: a previous episode, we did a malor monologue mention of
- 12:11Speaker 1: Bronco quarterback bow Nicks and the Bow Show. Come on
- 12:16Speaker 1: down to the Bow Show. So bow Nicks had revealed,
- 12:20Speaker 1: much to the dismay of Milkman, Mike in Colorado and
- 12:24Speaker 1: Queen Roxanne, he's not really a Bronco fan, but she's
- 12:28Speaker 1: like Tom Brady and the pages. But anyway, she lives
- 12:31Speaker 1: in the Denver area or Colorado. So Broncos quarterback Bo
- 12:34Speaker 1: Nix revealed that he had deleted all of the socials.
- 12:39Speaker 1: He locked it, I'm not on there. I just want
- 12:41Speaker 1: to ignore the I want to ignore the outside noise
- 12:44Speaker 1: and I don't care. I don't care what these people say. Well, well, well, well,
- 12:52Speaker 1: well what do we have here? It turns out that
- 12:54Speaker 1: despite claiming to delete all social media, bow Knicks has
- 12:59Speaker 1: announced this week that he is, let's just say, well aware,
- 13:05Speaker 1: well aware of the conversation that the Broncos are more
- 13:09Speaker 1: of a pretender than a legitimate championship contender. Now his response,
- 13:15Speaker 1: he said, quote this is a quote from bo Nicks.
- 13:18Speaker 1: He said, the worst thing you can do is let
- 13:20Speaker 1: other people tear down a ten and two record. Bonicks said,
- 13:25Speaker 1: whether it's saying you don't play anybody or you're just
- 13:28Speaker 1: relying on defense. That was the explanation from bo nicks
- 13:32Speaker 1: close quote. So let's discuss this one. Give it a
- 13:37Speaker 1: quick little wink here. So what is your position on
- 13:41Speaker 1: bo Nicks ignoring the hater raid that is being tossed
- 13:46Speaker 1: at the Broncos. So here's the to me, that's not
- 13:52Speaker 1: what he's doing, like ignoring the haters. Bo Nicks is
- 13:56Speaker 1: out here telling the world that, on one hand, he
- 14:00Speaker 1: does not hear the critic, while responding to the critic.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Am I wrong? I feel like that's what he's doing.
- 14:09Speaker 1: I feel like that's what he's doing. He's like he's
- 14:10Speaker 1: literally responding to something he claims he's not listening to.
- 14:16Speaker 1: It's like saying, hey, I have sworn off Booze, I
- 14:19Speaker 1: am clean and sober, I'm on the wagon, and I'll
- 14:23Speaker 1: return your call. I'm just finishing this margarita the size
- 14:27Speaker 1: of a bathtub. I'll get right back to you. Okay,
- 14:31Speaker 1: uh yeah. But like Nick's deleting social media and magically
- 14:35Speaker 1: knows every talking point. How is that possible? It's like,
- 14:38Speaker 1: come on, man, come on, what do you do? And
- 14:41Speaker 1: I would I'm going to wager a guest that bo
- 14:43Speaker 1: Nix is reading the reviews like he's on rotten tomatoes,
- 14:47Speaker 1: and he's listening to sports talk radio like he's a
- 14:50Speaker 1: p one Hi bomber. Remember Usball when you do the
- 14:54Speaker 1: ratings where we were the king of the hillover here. Yeah,
- 14:56Speaker 1: when you when you tell your friends about radio. By
- 14:58Speaker 1: the way, sometimes address the noise is actually smart. I've
- 15:02Speaker 1: talked about this in previous editions of the show over
- 15:04Speaker 1: the years, that you let the trolls, and there are
- 15:07Speaker 1: so many trolls, you let them run the corn of
- 15:10Speaker 1: all if you don't speak up. However, it's like threading
- 15:15Speaker 1: a needle because this is selective hearing. It's not selective engagement.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Let's not pretend that bo Nix is lighting up the league.
- 15:22Speaker 1: He's not. He's the twenty ninth ranked quarterback, he's thirtieth
- 15:27Speaker 1: and yards per past. The Broncos offense has been good enough,
- 15:32Speaker 1: but it is not good side by side with the real,
- 15:36Speaker 1: legitimate big time offenses. It's like a molasses rolling uphill
- 15:39Speaker 1: in a snowstorm. It just doesn't go very far. And
- 15:42Speaker 1: it's the Malard tower of power without the power source,
- 15:48Speaker 1: which would be the vertical passing game and all that.
- 15:51Speaker 1: If you're only throwing screen passes and all training wheel
- 15:55Speaker 1: stuff and nothing downfield, it becomes easier to defend because
- 16:01Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about anything past the line
- 16:03Speaker 1: of scrimmage more than five yards or ten yards at
- 16:06Speaker 1: the most. And the critics that bow Nicks is clapping
- 16:10Speaker 1: back at, they've got Biamo Like Denver has played the
- 16:15Speaker 1: third easiest schedule in the in the AFC. That is
- 16:18Speaker 1: a byproduct of them being terrible last year. That is
- 16:21Speaker 1: not exactly the gauntlet. The Patriots are the same way.
- 16:24Speaker 1: The Patriots haven't played anybody really all that good because
- 16:28Speaker 1: they have been terrible the last couple of years. And
- 16:32Speaker 1: so it's a bounce house. It's not a gauntlet. It's
- 16:33Speaker 1: a bounce house for both these teams. We're talking about
- 16:35Speaker 1: the Broncos though, and the Mallord advice. My advice to
- 16:38Speaker 1: bow Knicks is you know you need overnight talk radio
- 16:40Speaker 1: advice is respond if you must, but you'd really have
- 16:46Speaker 1: to tiptoe around otherwise you look like a rookie quarterback
- 16:50Speaker 1: shadow boxing a really amazingly scary poltergeist. It's not real,
- 16:59Speaker 1: it's not really all right. Last thing, we go to Cleveland.
- 17:03Speaker 1: That's right, good old Cleveland right there. What a town
- 17:08Speaker 1: shouldhar Sanders? Back in these sporting news shouldar Sanders among
- 17:12Speaker 1: these celebrities who were trending the most across the United
- 17:15Speaker 1: States in twenty twenty five. According to the people at Google,
- 17:18Speaker 1: the Browns quarterback, you talk about a roller coaster with
- 17:21Speaker 1: a loop de loo and he transitioned. Not that kind
- 17:25Speaker 1: of transition. He went from college to the NFL and
- 17:30Speaker 1: was drafted low because people think he sucks. And this
- 17:35Speaker 1: made him someone who you checked in on on the interweb,
- 17:41Speaker 1: according to the list Terryan and on my list, it's
- 17:45Speaker 1: this is from the people at Google. Just checked the Google.
- 17:50Speaker 1: They dropped this on Google. That shoulder. Sanders ranked number
- 17:54Speaker 1: six overall among people in America in twenty twenty five.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? Do you know who's ahead of him?
- 18:05Speaker 1: These are people searched on Google. The people ahead of him.
- 18:10Speaker 1: You had Pope Leo, he had Charlie Kirk's widow. You
- 18:17Speaker 1: had the person who killed Charlie Kirk allegedly, and you
- 18:22Speaker 1: had the New York socialist mayor giving free stuff away.
- 18:26Speaker 1: That's who was ahead of Shudhurth Sanders. And so the
- 18:30Speaker 1: question is what intrigues you the most about Shardur Sanders
- 18:34Speaker 1: being the top trending athlete on Google in twenty twenty five. Okay,
- 18:42Speaker 1: so Sanders here topping this this athlete trend thing and
- 18:47Speaker 1: just number six in the entire country. It tells you
- 18:50Speaker 1: everything about modern American sport. Where the games we in
- 18:56Speaker 1: here talking about practice, not a game, not a game,
- 18:59Speaker 1: not a game that was Alan iverson twenty years ago.
- 19:02Speaker 1: The game is the background noise. The game is it's
- 19:07Speaker 1: second It's been this way for years. This is not
- 19:09Speaker 1: a new revolution of revelation or revolution for that matter.
- 19:13Speaker 1: And the main event is and will be for the
- 19:19Speaker 1: foreseeable future, whatever circus happens outside the stadium. The only
- 19:23Speaker 1: time we really talk sports is NFL games and then
- 19:29Speaker 1: playoffs in baseball basketball. That's I don't talk an NBA
- 19:32Speaker 1: regular season. I mean, we'll talk about trade rumors and
- 19:35Speaker 1: things like that, but that's about it. Like this isn't football,
- 19:40Speaker 1: it's showbiz. Junior varsity is what it is. And sure
- 19:44Speaker 1: it didn't trend because he was carving up defenses. For
- 19:47Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. He trended in part because he's a
- 19:49Speaker 1: Nepo baby and he was born into a royal family
- 19:53Speaker 1: and the nepo baby with a football helmet on the
- 19:56Speaker 1: offspring of Dion and coach Prime and all that, and
- 20:03Speaker 1: Dion Sanders family crest stitched right into the helmet and
- 20:07Speaker 1: all that. In twenty twenty five, that's all it takes.
- 20:10Speaker 1: He became a one man digital pinata, whacked at daily
- 20:15Speaker 1: by critics, fans, bots, algorithms, the invisible hand, all that
- 20:20Speaker 1: stuff like performance, quarterback rating, third down, conversion police, the
- 20:25Speaker 1: analog thinking in a digital world. That's what that is.
- 20:28Speaker 1: That's analog thinking in a digital world. What moves the meter?
- 20:32Speaker 1: And it's all about moving the meter, the VU meter.
- 20:34Speaker 1: Moving the meter is the soap opera industrial complex. We're
- 20:39Speaker 1: gonna call it the soap opera industrial complex. Is he happy?
- 20:44Speaker 1: How does he feel? Is he understood? Is he the
- 20:48Speaker 1: next star or the next skid mark? Because he plays
- 20:51Speaker 1: for the Browns. The internet ate it up like midnight
- 20:56Speaker 1: fast food after a double shift, and they even ate
- 21:00Speaker 1: the soggy fries at the bottom of the back. We
- 21:02Speaker 1: used to trend for winning championship there used to be
- 21:06Speaker 1: a point even one. You're a winner. Now you trend
- 21:09Speaker 1: if you promise free healthcare, get accused of murder, or
- 21:13Speaker 1: you root for the Chicago White Sox. In fact, how
- 21:16Speaker 1: embarrassing this woman, Bonnie Blue. She's the woman, a nice,
- 21:20Speaker 1: wholesome lady that slept with one thousand men in twelve
- 21:23Speaker 1: hours and she could not beat out Shaddhur Sanders. Shuitter
- 21:28Speaker 1: Sanders by getting hemorrhoids on the bench for the Browns
- 21:33Speaker 1: was more searched on Google than the woman that really
- 21:38Speaker 1: went to Gaga. All right, now, Shooter Sanders, he should
- 21:41Speaker 1: have a deal with Brass Pro Shop because he would
- 21:44Speaker 1: be in the fishing section, an endorsement deal under bait, Clickbait,
- 21:49Speaker 1: the Prince of the Matrix and the Algorithm's newest chew toy,

- 23:57Speaker 1: the Pope is just going to White Sox games and
- 23:59Speaker 1: all that. And listen to sports talk radio. You can
- 24:01Speaker 1: say hello to Marky Mark if you want. There he's
- 24:03Speaker 1: on the X machine. That's Mark with a C Mark ramsey.
- 24:08Speaker 1: And there's some number six, four, nine to five. Oh
- 24:10Speaker 1: Coop de Loop who believes in the bow Show. Although
- 24:15Speaker 1: he hasn't bought a Bonnix jersey yet, so that's when
- 24:18Speaker 1: you know he's all in on Bownicks when he buys
- 24:20Speaker 1: a Bonix jersey.
- 24:21Speaker 6: Now, I decided a long time ago that I'm no
- 24:23Speaker 6: longer buying jerseys of players that are younger than I am.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Okay, is that Okay, I got you. That's a little awkward.
- 24:34Speaker 1: That does make sense, though, I.
- 24:36Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just it's weird. So I only only retired players, now, okay.
- 24:41Speaker 1: Yeah, it is odd. You get to the point it's
- 24:44Speaker 1: the circle of life as a sports fan where all
- 24:46Speaker 1: these guys are older when you're a kid, and then
- 24:48Speaker 1: you get to a certain point and you're like, wait
- 24:50Speaker 1: a minute, I'm older than that guy. And then wait
- 24:54Speaker 1: till they start having kids, and then their kids are
- 24:57Speaker 1: playing and you're like, holy what the hell is that? Anyway,
- 25:03Speaker 1: it's a Bronco fin if you want to say hello
- 25:06Speaker 1: to Coop a loop, it is the Ben Maler Show.
- 25:10Speaker 6: By the way, I'm sure that he gets constantly asked
- 25:14Speaker 6: about people calling the ten and two record fraudulent by
- 25:18Speaker 6: other reporters. It doesn't necessarily mean that he's on social
- 25:21Speaker 6: media listening to the crisis.
- 25:25Speaker 1: I will bet you one thousand dollars he has several
- 25:27Speaker 1: burner accounts. How about that?
- 25:30Speaker 6: It doesn't seem to t he doesn't count.
- 25:32Speaker 1: No, these guys, trust me, they are If Coach K
- 25:36Speaker 1: had a burner account at Duke, if.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Coach K had one. I mean, come on, everyone's got one.
- 25:43Speaker 2: They're all fussing around on that going to war. They're
- 25:46Speaker 2: not going full Kevin Durant and that whole thing. The
- 25:49Speaker 2: other thing, I remember when I was years.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Ago, obviously a long time ago, and there was a
- 25:53Speaker 1: player named Cecil Fielder was a baseball player, and he
- 25:56Speaker 1: was pretty good player for the Tigers, player with the Yankees,
- 25:58Speaker 1: a bunch of teams, and it was at Dodger Stadium,
- 26:02Speaker 1: and his kid took batting practice. He was like thirteen
- 26:05Speaker 1: years old and hit freaking home runs at Dodger Stadium
- 26:09Speaker 1: and then became Princefielder, like I said, was his name then.
- 26:12Speaker 1: And he's already retired now. So it's crazy. It's nuts.
- 26:16Speaker 1: It's crazy.
- 26:17Speaker 6: I've been retired for a long time.
- 26:18Speaker 1: I know. It's it's just wild how how fast all
- 26:21Speaker 1: this stuff goes. But it's it's nuts, so absolutely nut.
- 26:25Speaker 1: So what a magic ride it is. It is the
- 26:27Speaker 1: Ben Mather Show. And let's take some calls here, let's
- 26:31Speaker 1: go to the phones. We'll say lo to Dominican Mike
- 26:34Speaker 1: calling us on the international line from France.
- 26:40Speaker 3: Good morning, good morning, good morning, Ben. Hopefully you can
- 26:42Speaker 3: hear me. Okay, I'm not the lustance allowed and cheering
- 26:45Speaker 3: Charles the Bald and I'm in the bathroom right now
- 26:47Speaker 3: because it's quiet here.
- 26:48Speaker 1: So you're living you're living the hard life. You're living
- 26:51Speaker 1: a hard life, Dominican, Mike, can't.
- 26:53Speaker 3: I know. We weren't a way to Munich right now,
- 26:55Speaker 3: but then Austria and then they went back to the state.
- 26:58Speaker 1: So it's a family here we are we are you
- 27:01Speaker 1: working vacation? What are we doing?
- 27:03Speaker 3: No, this time actually a vacation. Nicole and I just
- 27:06Speaker 3: to tool us vacation at the end of the year.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure. I'm sure.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Nicole is very happy you're calling a talk radio show.
- 27:15Speaker 3: She's all about it. She's all about it, man, she
- 27:18Speaker 3: thought about it. She's sitting over there, so I'm in
- 27:20Speaker 3: the man's baskets. So I couldn't bring her in and
- 27:22Speaker 3: say hi. So you take the reflex. But Ben, if
- 27:26Speaker 3: I go by that mantra of like Coop just said
- 27:29Speaker 3: about buying Jersey, the players are older and younger, uh,
- 27:33Speaker 3: younger than me as of right now. I think I
- 27:36Speaker 3: have like Nick Folk, the kicker for the Jets, and
- 27:38Speaker 3: I think Justine Verlander That's about it for me. That's
- 27:41Speaker 3: about the toty jerseys I can buy.
- 27:43Speaker 1: The next The next thing that you're going to experience,
- 27:46Speaker 1: the making Mike is when there's no one even born
- 27:48Speaker 1: in the same decade you were born in, that's going
- 27:51Speaker 1: to happen, right, that's you're close to that. You're already
- 27:53Speaker 1: close to that. That's like the last Yeah, yeah, yeah, nuts.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely absolutely, And then what happened many Chris Paul wrong, man.
- 28:01Speaker 3: I think they've did him wrong. You know, they should
- 28:03Speaker 3: have keep him at least let him get on the
- 28:05Speaker 3: plane and taken give.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Him uber or something, you know, like, I don't think
- 28:09Speaker 1: they know. I know he's he was. I don't know
- 28:13Speaker 1: what happened. Obviously I wasn't there, but from what I've heard,
- 28:16Speaker 1: he was causing problems. He wasn't playing very well. They
- 28:19Speaker 1: should have never brought him back. The mistake. Why were
- 28:21Speaker 1: you thinking to make him like the guy was washed
- 28:23Speaker 1: up last year? Why would you bring him back? They
- 28:25Speaker 1: already had this old roster. I don't understand what they
- 28:29Speaker 1: were thinking. They got a bunch of they got a
- 28:30Speaker 1: bunch of idiots in the front office. Apparently, what are
- 28:32Speaker 1: you thinking, Well, they.
- 28:34Speaker 3: Were they were thinking about that. I will still be
- 28:37Speaker 3: able to buy his jersey until now I can't anymore.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty sure Chris Paul is not going to
- 28:42Speaker 1: come back to any old timers day the Coopers. The
- 28:47Speaker 1: one thing the Clippers are like. I work in radio,
- 28:49Speaker 1: and the radio is famous for destroying relationships with people
- 28:53Speaker 1: that work at radio stations like the fire you know,
- 28:56Speaker 1: so you imagine, well, let's bring Blake Griffin back. No,
- 28:59Speaker 1: we screwed him over. We traded him to the Pistons.
- 29:01Speaker 1: How about Chris Paul, Now we screwed him over. We
- 29:04Speaker 1: left him at the airport in Atlanta. Okay, how about
- 29:06Speaker 1: DeAndre Jordan he hates us too. Okay, great, we'll bring
- 29:09Speaker 1: back Benoit Benjamin. There we go. That'll work.
- 29:11Speaker 3: Oh, that's your boy right there. That's your boy right there.
- 29:14Speaker 1: And ben ben Benah, Benjamin Benjamin.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Yes, that's your boy, ben question, I mean, no question,
- 29:20Speaker 3: A little good spears theory. Aaron Rodgers, Right, who's another one?
- 29:25Speaker 3: Another jersey that I can probably still get it right.
- 29:31Speaker 3: He's supposed to be married, correct.
- 29:34Speaker 1: That is, we got married. He told Pat McAfee that
- 29:37Speaker 1: he got married to I think the name is Brittany.
- 29:40Speaker 1: The woman's name Brittany, the fake woman named Brittany.
- 29:43Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben, Ben, what if it's not a woman? Nothing
- 29:47Speaker 3: wrong with that, not my thing. But what what if
- 29:51Speaker 3: he decided to play for the same team. Nothing wrong
- 29:54Speaker 3: with that by no.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Means, however, well, well yeah.
- 29:58Speaker 3: Because then it'll be a lot harder to find out,
- 30:00Speaker 3: if you know what I mean.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but here's the thing, though, Dominican Mike, Like,
- 30:06Speaker 1: even if it's a dude who cared, but it's somebody
- 30:10Speaker 1: who knows that person would go to TMZ and take
- 30:13Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars from Harvey Levin and give them pictures
- 30:16Speaker 1: and hey, here's what this person looked like in high school.
- 30:19Speaker 1: Here's what they look like in college. They worked at
- 30:21Speaker 1: the you know, some grocery store, you know somewhere. So yeah,
- 30:26Speaker 1: I got some other people talk. But enjoy your trip
- 30:29Speaker 1: to France there, all right, we'll all right, Well, all right,
- 30:33Speaker 1: look at that globe treker Dominican Mike traveling the world.
- 30:36Speaker 1: How cool is that? Let's say a lot to here's
- 30:38Speaker 1: a blast in the past. Kelly in Des Moines, Hello, Kelly, welcome.
- 30:43Speaker 3: Hi Ben, have you been.
- 30:45Speaker 1: I've been all right, Kelly, how are you doing, you know,
- 30:47Speaker 1: hanging in there doing all right?
- 30:49Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:49Speaker 7: Sorry, we're on like different schedules now, and you know,
- 30:52Speaker 7: it's been a lot since I called. I apologize.
- 30:55Speaker 8: It's okay, that's me.
- 30:57Speaker 7: I apologize.
- 30:58Speaker 1: We're not paying you, It's okay. What do you got.
- 31:01Speaker 1: I gotta get the Coop Scooper.
- 31:02Speaker 7: Well, no, we'll get to Coop Scoop in a second.
- 31:05Speaker 7: And I already gave Coop a tip on something that
- 31:07Speaker 7: we should be watching. I already watched it. But I
- 31:10Speaker 7: will say this on the jersey topic, is that I
- 31:13Speaker 7: think my entire thing that I've done is that every
- 31:16Speaker 7: time I buy a jersey of any Seahawks, then they
- 31:19Speaker 7: get traded or they're gone. So I feel like I
- 31:23Speaker 7: don't buy jerseys anymore because of that. It's like, the
- 31:26Speaker 7: second I buy a jersey, that person's either trash or
- 31:29Speaker 7: they get traded.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Yeah. So I'm I'm kind of like Coop. Once they
- 31:34Speaker 1: once the players became younger than me, I just moved
- 31:36Speaker 1: to hats and shirts. I have shirts. That's kind of
- 31:40Speaker 1: I have a ton of hats. Yes, but I'm a
- 31:42Speaker 1: big I'm a big hat guy. Especially this is my
- 31:44Speaker 1: hair left I'm a big hat guy. I don't have
- 31:45Speaker 1: to worry about that. So yeah, yeah, I love you.
- 31:50Speaker 1: I call us again. I gotta get Coop on here.
- 31:52Speaker 1: By the way, let me get Poppy on because he's

- 32:55Speaker 1: Okay, all right, those are the picks, Thank you?
- 32:59Speaker 3: All right?
- 32:59Speaker 1: Let's get to the koop scoop on entertainment right now.
- 33:02Speaker 1: Hooray for Holly? Would hooray for Holly? Would the koop
- 33:06Speaker 1: justin coop? All right? Ben?
- 33:08Speaker 6: So normally we start off in the theaters with what
- 33:11Speaker 6: you got to check out this weekend, But every so
- 33:13Speaker 6: often there's some entertainment news that I actually need to
- 33:17Speaker 6: start off with before talking about what's what's new? Uh
- 33:21Speaker 6: So this is happening right now. Actually, it looks like
- 33:25Speaker 6: Netflix is nearing a deal to purchase Warner Brothers Discovery.
- 33:32Speaker 1: So that is wild. Yeah, that kind of money, that
- 33:36Speaker 1: is insane. Yep.
- 33:37Speaker 6: Yeah, and they're they're gonna buy it mostly in cash.
- 33:41Speaker 6: So what that means is it would make Netflix a
- 33:45Speaker 6: huge player. They would have access to all of Warner
- 33:50Speaker 6: brother Discoveries and IP so that that includes HBO, HBO Max,
- 33:58Speaker 6: all of those movies. It would, uh, it would change
- 34:02Speaker 6: the landscape of entertainment. Let's just let's just say that
- 34:06Speaker 6: they have exclusive bargaining rights and so I guess right
- 34:09Speaker 6: now they are working out a deal.
- 34:13Speaker 1: So I'm all right, that's that's crazy. Yeah, I'm not
- 34:16Speaker 1: sure that Isn't that the rumor was that was part
- 34:19Speaker 1: of the deal. Why they didn't pick up the NBA
- 34:21Speaker 1: contract was because of that, because it's a lot of
- 34:25Speaker 1: lawyers and loop d loops you gotta jump through with
- 34:27Speaker 1: that merger.
- 34:28Speaker 6: Well, so here's here's what they would not get in
- 34:32Speaker 6: the merger.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Is all of sports. Yeah, yep, oh they don't want
- 34:37Speaker 1: the sports. They had the sports on Netflix now though.
- 34:41Speaker 6: Yeah they do so, I mean Netflix has their own
- 34:43Speaker 6: sports deals. But the businesses that would not go to
- 34:46Speaker 6: Netflix include entertainment, sports and news, television brands and channels
- 34:49Speaker 6: globally including CNN, TNT, sports, and free to air channels.
- 34:54Speaker 6: So those would not be going to Netflix. But everything else.
- 34:58Speaker 1: All right, U, it's weird. Who, like we were Fox Entertainment.
- 35:03Speaker 1: Didn't they sell their stuff to Disney? Yes, it's very odd, it's.
- 35:08Speaker 6: Right, I know, And I don't know if what that
- 35:09Speaker 6: would mean for like HBO streaming platforms, like if that
- 35:14Speaker 6: would just get eaten up by Netflix and all of
- 35:16Speaker 6: the HBO stuff would be on there, which I mean,
- 35:20Speaker 6: you know, I realized that would mean a price hike,
- 35:22Speaker 6: but I don't know if. I don't know if I
- 35:25Speaker 6: would care that much because I'd rather have one.
- 35:30Speaker 1: I don't know, you want to make it the way
- 35:32Speaker 1: it was Coop. You want everything in one place, that's
- 35:34Speaker 1: what you want. It's eventually going to get back to that.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Remember when Netflix, everyone started their own streaming service, and
- 35:40Speaker 1: a lot of these things have failed, like Netflix is
- 35:42Speaker 1: still It's.
- 35:43Speaker 6: True, they're still the leaders. Moving on to the theaters.
- 35:47Speaker 6: What you've got to check out this weekend. There's a
- 35:49Speaker 6: couple of movies. The first one I'm gonna mention just
- 35:52Speaker 6: just in case Siria Sean is listening. I don't even
- 35:54Speaker 6: know if he listens to the show anymore. But Five
- 35:58Speaker 6: Nights at Freddy's two is out this weekend. I remember
- 36:01Speaker 6: he was a big fan of the first one. Uh,
- 36:04Speaker 6: the first one was not reviewed well by critics. This
- 36:08Speaker 6: one's got an eleven percent on ron Tomatoes, but apparently
- 36:10Speaker 6: that doesn't matter. If you make enough money, you can
- 36:12Speaker 6: make sequels.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Another thing, somebody cuts you a check to make it.
- 36:17Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. Another thing that's in theaters this weekend, which
- 36:20Speaker 6: I'm actually very interested in, kill Bill the whole bloody affair.
- 36:25Speaker 6: So it is a special engagement. I guess where it
- 36:30Speaker 6: puts volume one and volume two into a single unrated
- 36:34Speaker 6: epic presented exactly as Quentin Tarantino, uh, you know, wanted
- 36:39Speaker 6: it to be. And believe it or not, this is
- 36:43Speaker 6: actually one of, if not the only Tarantino films that
- 36:47Speaker 6: I have not seen. I've not seen Kill Bill, so
- 36:50Speaker 6: I will be going to theaters and check it out
- 36:52Speaker 6: though the way that he intended it to be seen.
- 36:54Speaker 1: Watching some stuff.
- 36:55Speaker 6: Yeah, okay. And last, but not least is a Netflix
- 37:00Speaker 6: movie that is available right now. It is a dramedy
- 37:03Speaker 6: and it is called j Kelly and it stars George
- 37:07Speaker 6: Clooney and Adam Sandler and also Laura Dern stars in
- 37:12Speaker 6: this one. It is a coming of age tale but
- 37:15Speaker 6: for adults.
