  Speaker 1: here like doing everything, socializing with Lorraine and Coop, trying
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to I'm picking up for some reason. I've been out
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of town. Crazy week for me. As we welcome you
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: into hour three of the Ben Mallor Show here on
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Some programs are three hours, some were
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: even two anymore, not Big Ben four hours of power
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio. But I was, I was
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: on the road this week. I think I can say
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: this now. I'm pretty sure my family's in bed. I
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: got the old guilt trip, Like I live in Oklahoma,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: but my whole family's from like the Saint Louis area,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: So I got the you know, we're getting older, Chris,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we'd like to see the grand babies every now and
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: then they're no longer grand babies. I mean, my son
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: is freaking twenty two years old. But he's home. He
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: was home from his military responsibilities, and so we were like, okay,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: let's go. Let's road trip. So we got in the car,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: packed up the fan, drove the seven and a half
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: eight hours up the highway to Saint Louis over the weekend,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and drove back today. So I'm still like. I haven't
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: been home since Saturday, so it's kind of like a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: reset for me here in the Goldsby Oklahoma Studio. So
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I apologize Loraina and Coop if I seem disheveled during
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the break. You know, I gotta find my hiding spot
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: for all the weed I bought, you know, whenever I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: was in Saint Louis. So it's been an investigative kind
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: of process so far. That's that's that's a Joe, or
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: is it? Now? Speaking of celebrations, tonight is New Year's Eve.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I will psa the hell out of this because I
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: had a buddy of mine. They got a dewey back
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: in the day on New Year's Eve kind of ruined
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: his whole. I don't want say live because he's fine now,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: but kind of ruined the year. Really brought down the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: vibes on that New Year's Eve. I mean, dude're telling
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: me that you had to switch lanes without using your signal.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: But my point is, don't drink in tonight. Don't do it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Don't drink and drive. If you're going to imbibe, there's lyft,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: there's uber. It might cost a little more. I don't
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: know if they still do serge pricing, but even if
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it does, it's much cheaper than going to jail. With
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: that in mind, last night we were sitting in Arnie
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Spanier and I were sitting in for Jason and Mike,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and Arnie was talking about the Times Square New Year's
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Eve celebration. Now real quick before we get back to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the phones. At eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Coop Lorena Lorena Ladies, First, as always, has that ever
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: been something you wanted to experience like Times Square on
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: New Year's Eve A little bit?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I wanted to do like Christmas with the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: ice skating and then stay for a company. Yes, do
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: some Broadway you know, experience the rats. Maybe they're not
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: out right now because it's wintertime, but you know, get
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the whole experience and then watch the ball drop.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And then okay, Coop, is it ever? Is it like
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a bucket list thing for you or anything you care about? Hell,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you might have already done it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I have wanted to do it in the past, but
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: knowing what I know now, I don't want to do
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: it that bad.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, And in fact, the little I bring
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: this up because Loraina mentioned during the break that they
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: were talking with one of the dudes that's already standing.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I guess what up against the rails, like what's considered
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to be the prime standing spot for the New Year's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: two celebration really early. He can't leave and I Alnie
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: brought this up last night and there's you know, listen,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: just a little sidebar. My man, Arnie Spanier, We've been
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: doing a show together for over a decade. Love the guy,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: love him like a brother. And my man falls for
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: everything that's fake on the internet. I mean everything that's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: fake on the internet he falls for. We were just
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: talking about trying to figure out AI videos and what's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: real and what isn't anymore, Buddy, Arnie still falls for
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: every single tweet that like Dove Climban sends out or
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: NFL r mrs or whatever, you know, fake thing that's
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: out there. You know, the Chris Olave decided to re
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: send his retirement papers whenever Derek Carr retired. Yeah no
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: he didn't, because nobody's losing their mind to play for
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: freaking Spencer Rattler. You guys kind of backed into Tyler
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Shuck and his numbers are no better than Spencer Rattler's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: but I digress. But Arniel fall for it, right. So
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: last night he was telling me the story about how
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: when you go to the New Year's Eve celebration in
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: New York, once you get your spot in Times Square,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you can't move and that people will go for like
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours longer, right to just sit there and wait,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and you can't leave your spot because if you leave
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: your spot, you lose it, which creates a pretty challenging
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: situation when it comes to bathroom breaks. Now, I'm old
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: enough to remember a failed radio bit called Wee for
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a Wei where they you know, he's like, you don't
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it sounds crazy, but you don't want to over hold
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: in your waist. I think it is the most family
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: friendly way to say it, even though we're in a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: save harbor right now. People, but Larina, you were saying
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: they were were they interviewing a guy or it was
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: just a report where he actually had his diapers there
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: with him that he was wearing, or like lines.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: It was an interview, like someone was up at the front,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: like what do you do? He's like, well, I don't
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: want to lose my spot. So but I just thought
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: it was crazy because he only you would think he
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: pulled out like thick diapers. Sure, he only pulled out
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: panty liners, which is like the thinnest of the pads.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And if you're gonna be out there for twenty four
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: plus hours, you're gonna need more than a couple of
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: panty liners. And the people that were standing behind him
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: were like looking like you're gonna change those out right?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: You're gonna what Like you can't just a sidebar to this,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: You can't even negotiate anything. It's like, hey, listen, I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: gotta go to the bathroom. You guys, can you hold
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: my spot here until I get back? Like they're big
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: enough jerks to where people.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Like, no, there's thousands of people. Have you ever been
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: to like a concert like that too? It's like it
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: would take forever.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: To get back up to this through. Yeah, doesn't seem sanitary, though,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you're right, like, what is?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I'm sure people be doing some weird stuff to not
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: have to leave the crowds to be honest.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, I I mean I don't want to judge,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: but I do. It's like there's this part of me
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that who am I to say? What is had to.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Pee at the front of a concert? Or is there anything.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'm fifty years old. I got to pee every
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: single time I drink water anymore, okay, right through me?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: My conversation with my dad is now. I was like, oh,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you got to pee again? Yeah, me too. It's just
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that's that's kind of life. But I I could understand
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: how that would be a challenge. But it's also, like
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you said it in our one, ring in the New
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Year is a new start, right, it's a new you
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: ringing in the new year. By I mean pissing your pants,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't really understand with a thin liner,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, no, I'm not peeing my pants.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I got a liner here, right I could. I don't know.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Is it worth that risk to be right there? I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: guess is the question more than anything else? Is it worse?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Is it worth the humiliation to have that front row
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: spot and this guy's mind? It was? And you mentioned
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the liner's too thin in my book, right, way too
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: thing thin.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: You're going to catch nothing with that, No good luck.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: You might as well put in a catheter.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Go to a doctor beforehand and see if they can't
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: put a cather before you make winner.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: It'd be so much finner and more comfortable for everyone
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: around you too.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Well, if you're just getting in tonight, welcome to the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Ben Malor Show. My name is Chris Plank. Lorena and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Coop still working through the holidays. They are the blessed
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: ones amongst us. I have promised, I don't know if
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you guys care, but I'm trying my damnedest. I have
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: promised a college football playoff update of each of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: four games at the bottom of every hour. Our one
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: little bit lenkedier on Ohio State and Miami. Kind of
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a quick sneak peek at the Texas Tech Oregon game,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and later on we'll talk Ole Miss versus Georgia. But
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: what's funny about all of this is Kirby Smart has
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: not taken this opportunity to talk a lot about Old Miss.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: More than anything, he's taken this opportunity to do what
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He's taken this opportunity to rail on the college football system.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: It's fantastic. We'll get to it coming up later on
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the program. In the meantime, we've been taking your calls.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about the Stefon dig situation. I've got
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: quarterback questions here that I want to dive into I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: think there's four very intriguing quarterback questions heading into twenty
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: twenty six and maybe more specifically heading into the offseason.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: And I think a lot of them will be answered
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: pretty quick. And then Coop laid out how he has
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to cure the back. He is on his way Denver
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: gets that one seed, it's definitely there, but you know
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: there'll be some nervous energy for that wild card game.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But in purchasing his tickets, very pricey, close to close
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: two thousand dollars per ticket. But they're not next to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: each other. In fact, they're what math one and eleven. Yeah,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: they're like ten spots away from each other. So will
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: he be able to secure getting closer to his wife
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: or is it okay that they're just in the building
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: quote unquote building stadium together. So eight seven seven ninety
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: nine on Fox eight seven seven nine ninety six six
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: three sixty nine, we've been taking your call over the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: last hour on it. So, Dre is in Central Cali.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Dre? Welcome to Fox Sports Radio.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: You know I am from Central Cali, but I've moved
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: to Arizona. I heard you saying you're in Arizona. Now,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: so I don't know what radio station you're on, but
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I'll look for you, mister Plank.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Thanks man, I appreciate it.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Why you're welcome. I got a lot of things to
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: what we guys been talking about, so I'll try to
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: be quick about it. I'm not going to be like Ben.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: So you can thank me for that. Cooper loop his
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Denver Broncos stole Drake Greenlaw and who Fonga from the Niners.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: So all the injuries the Niners have this year, they're
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: also missing Drake Greenlaw and Whufonga. To give them another
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: pat on the back for making it this far, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: they will be Seattle this week and host their way
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: to the Super Bowl, probably see Denver. Anyways, Now you
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: are saying, Chris, you're an old lady. Ain't gonna let
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: you go to the game. You can't stand what you want.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Don't you have your own checking account?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I know that I don't, do you.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course I do. I have hands, But then again,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: I don't have to watch no more. But I got hands.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I never lived in that world, by the just
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: just as quick aside, I never really lived in that
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: world of the separate accounts. We were always in both
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: of my marriages. It was it was as one. So
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I probably should have been a little bit smarter about that,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: especially in round.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Well, well, I see how she put this way. She
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: ows a lot of money to the creditors, and I don't you,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: But I go to all the games I wanted. And
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: what I advised you coop who grabbed your old lady
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: by the hand, and don't worry about the seat you
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: got upgrade. I'm upgraded my whole life. Every concert I
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: go to, every sporting event, I've upgraded. Now, the first
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: time I spent a lot of money was the ninety
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: three season, ninety two season Niners against Dallas in the
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: NFC Championship Game. I got my tickets out of the
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: sporting green sections, or actually in the ads in the
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: back of the chronicles. Spent two hundred and twenty five bucks.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Met a good, nice gentleman. He gave me a bubble
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Paris Jersey. He was cool about it. And then two
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: years later ninety four season January ninety five, I spent fifty.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: And then I went to the Green Bay Niners in
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty three of ave I spent five fifty. Now
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: this last year this is last season. I went to
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: see Arizona nice heats behind the end zone, two tickets
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: five to fifty. I couldnt believe ever that much. I mean,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, your cardinal's on all that much? Right, by
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: the way.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Great I would want I would wonder too, And I
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: appreciate the phone call. I would wonder too, what would
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: be like the ability to even upgrade coop? I mean,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I it sounds as if it was hard enough to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: find two tickets together like I and I appreciate the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: call from dre and Central Cali by way of Arizona.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Who has two at least one ex wife. I'm not
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: in Arizona, by the way. I just kind of went
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: had and rolled with it. I'm going to Arizona next month,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: but shout out day. I mean, would there even be
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to upgrade on that front for you? I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know about the technical upgrade, but
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: I could have gotten like, you know, better seats together
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: if I.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Wanted to spend like ten grand or something.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I wanted to spend something insane through like stub
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: hub or you know, you know, one of the third
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: party sites.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Speaking of that, can we have a conversation about ticket fees.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Are we not allowed to do that? Like the I
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: don't know, it's just it's one of those things where
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you see the price and it's like, wow, that's all
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: this is. That's great, and then you go to the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: actual checkout and it's like, whoa did I buy two
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: more tickets on this thing?
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Well, so now it's not really I mean, it's all
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: baked in now because of the new law.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Seems like a lot Yeah, it is. It is a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: lot upgrade. I like, yeah, image you just Upgraig. Listen,
• 13:49

  Speaker 1: What's your problems? Like, I don't want to. I don't
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: have the money that Dre has.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: The tickets themselves were like six sixty and the rest
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: was fees.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Unreal. Hey, you guys want to bring the show down
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit because we'll do a break. But I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: see my man Mojo Rising is on the phone and
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: he wants to talk about our well at least my
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: beloved Raiders. So let's do this here. Let's do this
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Mojo Rising, the Mojo Rising, what's going on?
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Many they going through to the other side, Light on fire,
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: mister plank Man, you're filling in for the Godfather, you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: Againt the beginning of the show, you were talking about
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: how filling in on this show you feel like you
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: have some animosity from the callers, because, I mean, come on,
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: the guys.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Listen, very that's right.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: I mean, so anyway, I want to agree with the
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Lovely Lorrain on her suggestion that mister Coop he absolutely
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: should play that card that you know he was in Liar, Liar.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: I mean, come on, he was the son of Jim
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: Carrey and Lyra Lion. That's beyond the classic movie. Beyond
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: the classic movie. If you don't know that movie, then
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: you've been lost in the world. So if anybody has
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: a heart and you hear that way, come on, why
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: wouldn't you switch? I mean, come on, there, they're married,
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: they're all they're Denver fans are all going to be
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: super happy sitting at the game. So I think he's
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: got an inside track. You know, if he uses that car,
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: he may not even have to. He may just get
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: there and the people may be all happy and drunk
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: already and they'll switch the seats for him and everything.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: So I mean, I'm praying for the guy, and you know,
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: being a Raider fan, that's why I called him mister Plank.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: I argue with Arnie on Sunday nights, And you're right.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: The agony, the absolute agony of being a Raider fan. Now,
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: you're right, we're never where. You're never going to be
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: in a situation again because you're gonna have to even
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: worry about going to a playoff game because at this rate,
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: the Raiders, I don't know, they'll never I don't think
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: they're ever going to sniff the playoffs again, you know.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: And as a legendary Raider fan, I go back to
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: the days in Super Bowl eleven when the Raiders beat
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: Minnesota Vikings, what was it thirty two to twelve or
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: thirty two to fourteen, when Fred Blittnikoff was the MVP
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: of the Super Bowl and he never even he didn't
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: even score a touchdown in that game. He did set
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: up the two touchdowns from the beginning. Could you imagine
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: that that fledble in the company he was calling touchdown
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: in nineteen seventy seven in the Super Bowl and won
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: the MVP. That's how far I go about, mister Planks.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: So yeah, the agony, the absolute agony of being a
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: Raider fan. I've called him before and told mister Mallard,
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: it's an absolute embarrassment to see the Vegas crowd. It
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: doesn't matter if it's the Panthers, it's half to half
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: the stadium, like when the Niners play there, or the
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: Chiefs play there, or the Broncos. It's all red or orange.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: It's it's an embarrassment. It truly is. I mean, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: as a Raider fan, I can't even survive watching them anymore. Honestly,
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: I don't know how you feel about it, but it's
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: just sad.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: It truly is sad.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Mister Black.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the phone call. I've been in a great mood.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I have a good life. Well, my wife's happy with me.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: This week, kids seemed to adore me. Got a good job.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting in for the Godfather, Lorraine and Cooper. Life.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I'm back home. It's not as cold here as it
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: was in Saint Louis. Life is good. And then I
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: reminded that I'm pinned with the hell of being a
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Raiders fan. Two things. The NFL made an egregious air
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: air whenever they did not pair the Raiders with the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Rams in LA and I get it. I wouldn't want
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to do that either if I was Stan Kronky, because
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the Raiders are more popular in Los Angeles than the
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Rams or the Chargers would have been. And well, maybe
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: this level of sucked that the Raiders are in right now,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't have mattered, because if you think Vegas is
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: a bit of a bandwagon town, and I think it's
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: fair to say, LA can jump off that bandwagon whenever
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: you're not as good as you should be. And that's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: what hurt the Raiders whenever they went back to Oakland.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. It's just it's bad enough that you're bad.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: It's bad enough that you're a bad team right now,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: added to the fact that every home game your stadium's
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: taken over. Add into it that the Chiefs, your hated rival,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl in your stadium, and even though
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs are bad, you can't even enjoy it because
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: you're worse. But I watch what the Jaguars are doing
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: this year. I watch what the Bears are doing this year.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I watch what teams that sucked last year are doing
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: this year. And I watch what Washington did when they
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: got a quarterback. They you know, what do all these
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: teams have in common, Well, they got a quarterback, and
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: in the instances of Jacksonville and Chicago, they got a
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: coach that can work with said quarterback, Liam Cohen, and
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Liam Cohen and Ben Johnson have done incredible jobs in
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: developing these quarterbacks. I was listening to Antonio Pearce, and
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: for as much animosity that I think that he holds
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: towards the race, they were trying to get him to
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: say something bad about Max Crosby being shut down, and
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Antonio Peers was going through his Max Crosby. He's a fighter,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: he wants to play YadA, YadA, YadA, and then he
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: stopped and he said, but I would really want a quarterback.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: And you know, Derek Carr is what Derek Carr is.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: And I think Raider fans have learned that he wasn't
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: as terrible as many people try to make him out
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to be. When you consider that, I think Vegas since
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: his final game that he played is on like seven
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: different starting quarterbacks in three years. I mean, it's just terrible.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: So Antonio Pierce was always fighting to try to get
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: up and get what Jane Daniels he thought the Raiders
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: should trade up to number two, give up everything to
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: get Daniels, and maybe it would have been a different
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: world for him. But there's a failed head coach who
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: had to go through a quarterback disaster, and he's like, listen,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: you can get mad about, you know, telling a player
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that he's hurt and he's gonna be put on ir
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and you're not playing him, but you also need to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: get an position where you actually have a serviceable quarterback.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Geno Smith sucks, all right. I know this isn't breaking news,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and Seahawk fans are probably applauding, but the man cannot
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: handle adversity. It's one of the coolest career arcs you'll
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: ever seen. Guy was a backup for like six years
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden gets to Seattle and resurrects
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: his career. It's cool, but it's over. It's ov er over.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: As Arnie Spanier would say, go get Fernando Mendoza, Go
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: get Dante more and maybe you get sucked into some
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: of these trade talks with Lamar Kyler. Don't let yourself
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: do that. Evaluate your quarterback and get him, because I
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: do think, believe it or not, the Raiders have some dudes,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Genti's gonna be a stud. Max Crosby is one of
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the best edge rushers, if not the overall best defensive
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: players in the league. Your left tackle's been hurt all
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: year long. You've got a decent interior of your offensive
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: line and names like kayleb Rodgers and Dylan Parthen. Receiver
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: needs help, corner needs help. But they got dudes.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: By the way, it would help if we didn't have
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: a senior citizen as our head coach too. And can
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: we normalize retiring at a regular age? I learned last night.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I did not know this. I did not know the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Packers had the age rule for the president of their franchise.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I think it's the smartest thing that anyone could ever do. Now,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: if you wanted to fight it, you'd probably went in
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: court because you know ages to rules and things of
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: that nature. But when you turn seventy, you know what
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you are within the Packers organization as the president. You're out.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: You've aged out. Can we normalize seventy being an age
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: where you're playing the back nine of your career and
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: you're not trying to rebuild a franchise. I'm so down, man,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: life is good. My life is great. I've never been
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: happier until I turn on that suck of a franchise
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that just basically drains my will to live. And then
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I gotta see Coop be all happy with his Broncos,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: and I gotta see both the Charger fans that get
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: all their celebrations, and I mean, it's just terrible, just
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: terrible right now. And then you gotta watch, by the way,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: that was a pretty funny take. You gotta watch Titan fans,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Mojo Risen, Titan fans come in and take over your stadium.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Oh the humanity, We got a break. It's the Ben
• 22:26

• 23:55
  Speaker 1: during the break I had been I've been thrown off
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: by all the Tigers. I completely missed it. Tiger's birthday
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: was yesterday, turned fifty, and it made me laugh at
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a headline out of the New York Post which said,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Tiger Woods at fifty, his historic career is haunted by
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: what could have been? What? Haunted by what could have been.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: He's maybe the most popular athlete of all time, haunted
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: by what could have been? Why? Because he was chasing tail?
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I mean stop because he wasn't the greatest that ever?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: He might still be the greatest it ever? Did it haunted?
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Stop it? But happy fiftieth Tiger. I'm here to tell
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you fifty sucks. But it's also one of those times
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: in your life where for him it opens up a
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: whole new door because now you're open and eligible for
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the Champions Tour. So happy birthday, Tiger. Party up, all right,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: let's get to the phones. Eight seven seven ninety nine
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: on box. Got a little bit on Ole Miss Georgia
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: coming up in a bit. But quinsle wants to talk
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: about the Raiders. He's in Oaktown where the Raiders should
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: have never left. What's going on? Quins Will, welcome to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: Hey, what's going on? Man?
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: How's it going going well? Dude? Going well? How about you?
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: Hey, all right? I wanted to say happy New Year
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: to you and all your staff. But hey, when you
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: started talking about the Raiders, man, it brought me back, man,
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: because I remember when the Raiders first came back to Oakland.
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: I was at that first game when they played the Rams.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 25:38
  Speaker 9: You know, I took the old Colors women that went
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: the dirt on the field. That's when I really liked it,
• 25:42
  Speaker 9: you feel me? And then we won that game as up,
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: And then I remember, and then why did the league
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: always have we had to play the replayed the Ravens
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: in their first game in Baltimore, and then we played
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: the Rams and the first game on that But anyway,
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: that besides point. But I wanted to say when you
• 26:01
  Speaker 9: were talking about so if you were the writer's dream
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: of what you do, you say you think you would
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: rather draft the quarterback rather than going out and getting
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: a guy like Kyler Murray or to a tug of
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: Byoh hey, before you even answer that question, I want
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: to say, lore Lorena, if you have for happy no
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: years because the twenty twenty six is anything specifical me,
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: I'll be able to take you at the dinner because
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: you are so adorable and you were two pretty for
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: the radio and too fine for TV. But anyway, what
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: was you about to say, though z Yeah, no.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: No, I'm glad you were able to get in the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: flirt with a Lorena. Well done there, all.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Right here, I appreciate your kind words.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: I will want to abless you.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: All right, buddy, thanks for the phone call. I appreciate it.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I would shoot to an end of the sun. I
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: would contemplate Kyler or Lamar, but I don't know. Here's
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: the question that I have. I'm stammering around here. Let
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: me make a point. I would draft a quarterback. I
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: wouldn't go get a veteran. I would draft if you
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: fall in love with either one Mendoza more hel Ty
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Simpson too. I like Ty Simpson a lot. I don't
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: know if he's number one worthy, but nobody at this point.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: You know, years ago was talking about Kyler or Baker
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: going number one, and they did. But there is this
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: part of me that realizes, you gotta get something flashy
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: to get Vegas excited and will Vegas the city will
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: it be patient with a rookie quarterback or do you
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: need to go get Lamar Jackson. By the way, Lamar
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Jackson age check is twenty eight. People talk about him
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: like he's forty, and I understand his style is different,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: so that ages him a bit. And I know how
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Ben feels about Kyler Murray. I feel different because I
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: covered him and I like him. I think, I think
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: he's a great quarterback. He hasn't been able to stay healthy.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: His clock is ticking a little bit and may be
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: accelerated because of the game that he but like me
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: personally as someone who wants to see this franchise persevere
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: year after year and be good, be great. I want
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: a draft Mendoza or Dante More and I want to
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: go with the rookie quarterback. I don't want to get
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: caught up in this world of going to get a veteran,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: especially whenever you're talking about two guys that you mentioned, well,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I guess three, but one of them sucks and the
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: other two guys haven't been able to stay healthy the
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: last few years. I also think I have to start
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: realizing that the Raiders just might be cursed. They went
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: thirteen years without making the playoffs. After they won the
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: AFC Championship and went to the Super Bowl in twenty sixteen,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: they might have been one of the best teams in
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the league. Khalil Mack was an Defensive Player of the
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Year that year. Derek Carr franchise quarterback man just starting
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: his career. Offensive line that had Rodney Hudson, Gabe Jackson,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Donald Penn. I mean they were dudes, the Tay Train,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Latavius Murray and what happened. What happened in the next
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: to last game of the season, Derek Carr broke his foot,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: our leg or whatever. All right, then you gotta go
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: with Connor Cook, Connor freaking Cook are Matt McGloin, and
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: it didn't go well and you lost to the Texans
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You then go four years without making
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: a return trip to the playoffs. You hire John Gruden,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: who goes four and twelve, seven and nine, eight and eight,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: And then in twenty twenty one, you got something. You
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: got something. You're starting out, you won. You've won three
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: or your first five games. I know three and two
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: in college talk is like, gosh, that's terrible, But in
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the NFL, you're okay, you're three and two, you're feeling
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: pretty good. And then the email scandal hits, and then
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the email scandal hits, and then the Henry Ruggs situation
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: does tragedy takes place and he's out of the league
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: whenever it looked like he was starting to develop as
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: a receiver when he was healthy, and Derek Carr and
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Rich Pasaccia rally the troops. They go seven and five
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and they make the playoffs, only to lose in the
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: first round of the eventual Super Bowl participant, Cincinnati Bengals.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Even when you have a break, when you're good, something
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: goes wrong. They haven't sniffed the winning record since, so
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: there's a part of me that has to accept that
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: they might just be cursed and the only way to
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: break that curse is to get a good quarterback in
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: there to save your day. And I don't think that
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: guy is Lamar Jackson or Cala Murray. Cardiac stan Lee Stanley,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. What's going on man? You're on
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Hey, I want to talk to you know, the college
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: football playoffs. But before that, you were talking about ticket
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: price for Super Bowl.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, in general, right, my.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Dad we lived in Dayton, Ohio, and my dad had
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: to fly out to LA for business and he went
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: to a game called Super Bowl.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Number two, oh Raves Packers.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: And he said it took us for twenty five dollars
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: and it was half empty, and you could sit anywhere,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: you know, you know.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: What, you couldn't even park. I don't even think you
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: could get a snack for that at the super Bowl
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: now in twenty twenty six. But different world, man, different world,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Different times. I was telling the story we'd pay eleven
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: bucks for bleacher tickets at Bush Stadium whenever, and I
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: thought that was expensive. So it's crazy. I mean, it's
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: an inflation's part of that. We can't sit here and
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: compare things to the sixties too much, right, But in
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: that same vein, it's it shows you just how out
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: of control things have gotten whenever it comes to sports spending.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: So let's talk some college football playoffs. How do you
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: feel about your Buckeye today? Should be feeling pretty good?
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I do you know, they say they haven't played anybody,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: but from I listened to the games, I like the
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: guys that call the games on the radio scene in
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Ohio State. People probably don't know this. From Ohio State place,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: probably fifty fifty five kids every game, you know, and
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Ryan Day is now going to call the place right
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: as opposed to Brian Hartline right, who was once a
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: really good receiver from the Buckeyes. So my only concern
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: is is he going to, you know, hold stuff back
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: or is he going to go for it? But Ohio
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: State's bread and butter is Jeremiah Smith. And the other
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: kid I can't remember his name. He's really good too,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: and that saying it is a freshman to be and
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: he's throws a knife ball. And I also would like
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: to see Old Miss upset Georgia because Georgia is the
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: only other team the playoffs stare me, what say you,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Chris Blank?
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the phone call. Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate, Brandon
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Nis all stud receivers for Ohio State. And part of
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the reason, part of the reason why he is playing
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: fifty five total players is because they're blowing everybody out.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: That's why blowing everyone out so you can play fifty
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: five dudes in a game. I would worry about Miami
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. I think their defense is better
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: than what people are giving them credit for. But you're
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: you're thinking the right way. I want to. If I'm
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: in a position where i think I've got a championship
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: caliber team, I want Georgia out. They're good they're good,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: and to me, the most overall talented team in the
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: playoffs is Ohio State. Now, what's crazy about it is
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: not a lot of that like NFL talent for now
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: would be defensively, but they might have the best defensive
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: player in all the playoffs in Caleb Downs, So Julian
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: saying special, I think he's done a great job going
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: into a tough situation. Ryan Day knows how to handle
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: being an offensive coordinator because he's called plays before for
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: a long time, so you're not skipping a beat too
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: terribly much. And the way that he's made it sound,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the way that he's made it sound is they've got
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: a pretty good feel for what they want to do offensively,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: even with Brian Hartline balancing two jobs right now. So
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: if I'm an Ohio State fan, I'm feeling really good
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: about things. But you're right, I don't want Georgia to
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: be a part of this because Kirby Smart has them
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: ramping up and playing their best ball at the right time. Now,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: with that in mind, I guess that kind of serves
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: as our college football preview. I do owe you some
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: ole Miss Georgia talk, which will do when we come
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: back but I I see Mike the leprekhn as on hold.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: So hanging there, Mike the Leprecaun. We'll get your call. Then,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: how did you called it? You absolutely called it. You
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: called it. It's coming up next right here on Fox
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Nature Boy Rights, Jets fans are cursed. Raider fans are
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: just experiencing a drought. Buddy. It's it's pretty thirsty drought
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: right now. I'm not gonna lie. It's uh, it's rather intense.
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: And then Rod maybe asks the question of the night, Coop,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: This one's for you. So you mentioned you have seats
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: one and eleven in your row for the Ronco's playoff game. Yes,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: is Coop wanting seats one and two? Are ten and
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: eleven or eleven and twelve? Inquiring minds want to know.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: That's a damn good question.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: I think that the most likely scenario, or the situation
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: that people are most likely to agree to, is us
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: sitting in seats one and two. Okay, because going further,
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: you know, into the row up to you know, seats
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: ten eleven, that is more towards center field.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Would Ben have been this caring about your plight or
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: would he have just dismissed it rather quickly and moved on?
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Oh no, we wouldn't even talked about it. All right,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: there you go. I hope that answers your question. Rod. Now,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: if you had your preference, though, like you would want
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: one and two right that way, easy in ingress egress
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: pretty quick too, and right there near the middle of
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the right there the best seats and the best of
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: you possible.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: Uh no, I mean, if I if I could choose, I'd
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: rather have like the eleven and twelve.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, it will be easier for you to
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: get all these lovely people drinks with you being on
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: the outside.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: That is true.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: The way that it's set up, though, I'm not even
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: sure if it's an aisle seat or if it's literally
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: just like in a corner surrounded by like a walls,
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: you know, the way that it is on the seating chart,
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: I can't tell.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: By the way Quinn's I didn't want to say. Roberto
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: is checked and he's not hot happy at all with
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: the idea of Kyler to the raiders. I want to
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: make this very clear, Roberto, I said, draft a rookie.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I think Kyler Murray's gonna be the next next quarterback
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: of the Steelers. And Cardiac Stanley. A good job by
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Coop doing a little research. So what did we find
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: out the actual with inflation the ticket prices would be today?
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: What to twenty five is at?
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Two thirty something? Okay? Yeah, based on if you
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: added whatever. He's at twenty bucks for super Bowl tickets
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: back in the day. But I they made it seem
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: like super Bowl too was pretty packed Cardiac Stanley. So
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: let's see if that works out. All right, Michael lepre Kahn,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: you get the final word this hour. What's going on? Bud?

  Speaker 3: I would like to I would like to have seat
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: one or eleven.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: I like the isle seat, but.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: See where the aisles are. That's the problem. We got
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: to figure out where these aisles are on that seat.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can always Google. Use Google Maps for God's sake. Anyway,
• 38:41
