  Speaker 2: who reached out. And he says, I've always loved home Depot,

  Speaker 2: which is odd to me. I mean, I like home Depot,

• 5:53
  Speaker 2: so now we will get back to the commercials. We
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: will now pause for the show. We will now pause
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: for the show.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: We'll get back. Don't give a few minutes. We'll get
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: back to the commercial.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: So our lead this hour is from the negotiating table
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: where the cheddar Bay biscuits are seasoning and all that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just wonderful.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Baltimore, Maryland, Baltimore, Maryland, where Lamar Jackson's long term future
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: with the Ravens continues to be a topic of discussion.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Is he heading in to a bizarro season? In Baltimore?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Jackson is in year number four, year four of his
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: five year, two hundred and sixty million extension signed way
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty three. We're much younger back then
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, so he has two years left.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: My math tells me this year and then the following year. Now,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: this year is not a problem because I'm very worried
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: about the cap. As I've said for years, the cap
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: is crap. Some of you believe it, which is your problem,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: not my problem. So anyway, the salary cap problem issue,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: it's not really an issue right now.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: It's next year.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: That becomes problematic, which would lead you to believe that
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: this year would mean he's a lame duck after this season,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: because the number is eighty four million.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Over eighty four million.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: They finagled the salarycap, which is what you do. So
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the salarycap hit would be eighty four million, and that
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: would be in twenty twenty seven. So if you've not
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: heard the latest, perhaps not There are whispers in hush
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: tones that the Ravens are not fully ready to commit
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: a long term contract to Lamar Jackson, and there's other
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: parts of the football world said, well, Lamar better off
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: waiting anyway and get more money the following year because
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the numbers keep going up. Lamar is coming off a
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: underwhelming campaign that is underwhelming with a capital You underwhelming
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: campaign in twenty twenty five unless you really enjoy injuries.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: If you really enjoy injuries, you were satisfied with Lamar
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Jackson this past year. So it's one of those interesting
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: subplots to the NFL. I know, we still got another
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: month before training camp opens. This is normally the time
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: either players get arrested or they sign contracts. This and
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: they're on vacation, so they go out a little too
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: much booze and they end up getting in some trouble,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: typically with the ladies.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And then the other thing is they sign new contracts.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: So let's discuss the question where is Liz Lamar Jackson contract.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Kurk fluffle headed in Baltimore. So I've my observations here.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I've got bugs Life, Dairy Queen, and Google Maps, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together, you and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I and we are going.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: To plot away, plot away.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And hopefully we'll find some good luck here. So number one,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: un for those who in the back, number one, number one,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: and number one, Oh what fun.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: He's number one.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Jumped the gun on that one. Right now, we're at
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the part of the story with Lamar Jackson. Nobody is blinking.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: It's a game of block block check in who's gonna blink,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: who's gonna nobody's budget. Yeah, it's like sitting down in
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: your kids and serving broccoli. Nobody wants to eat the broccoli.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Why would you serve broccoli?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Mom?
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: That I hate broccoli? What's wrong with you? Everyone is
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: just sitting in their corner. They've got their arms folded
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and they're just waiting. And the Ravens right now, they
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: don't want to over commit. Lamar doesn't want a discount.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: He's not willing to take a discount. He doesn't want
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the discount double checking.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: He wants done of that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And it would have seemed reading the room that the
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Ravens would like some evidence that Lamar is going to
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: be able to stay healthy and consistently dominate the way
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: he used to. They just don't want but the promise
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: they wants improve, and so there seems like they're taking
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: a weight and see approach and let's see how this
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: all plays out.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Of course they're saying, well, we want Lamar and Baltimore
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: That the big Bugaboo is a bugs life for Lamar
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: as he has been bitten by the injury bug and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: it keeps treating him like in all you can eat
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: buffe here. He had the hammy almost go whammy. He
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: missed time with a hamstring injury last year. He missed
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: three games with that. He had a back contusion, which
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: is a fancy way of saying a bruise. He missed
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: another game. He's had multiple minor lower body injuries with
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the Ravens. Lamar also has been coddled over the years
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: by Harball, who's no longer there.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: John Harball is out. I mean you know this.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: He's coaching the Giants now, and so who knows how
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: this is going to go with the new coaching staff.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Are they going to bend over backwards? There's certain things
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: that they did to make sure Lamar was taken care of.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: As he likes to understand, stay up and have a
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: grand old time gaming and living the life.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: And so he's been spending way too much time, in their.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Eyes, is a guy that.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Likes going to that all inclusive resort called the Trainer's Room,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: and so he's been hanging out there a lot of
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: ice and all that. And there's also the age thing.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: He turns thirty during.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: The playoffs playoffs in early.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Twenty twenty seventh, birthdays in January, So running quarterbacks typically
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: age like cottage cheese that was left out in August
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: and just outside on the sidewalk there and Baltimore, if
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: they see signs of twenty twenty four Lamar, not twenty
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: twenty five Lamar, they want tangible evidence before.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: They pay him.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm always on the side and I'm almost never
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: wrong that these owners and these teams came in to
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: public pressure. They've cave in, and that ultimately Lamar will
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: waltz in and click the DOCU sign and then he'll
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: be getting paid. And if he sucks, the fans will
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: raise Holy hell that. So it's what is right now.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: The Ravens would being the tough guy, Well, we got
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: to wait and see and all that. I think ultimately, though,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: there will be that pot of gold at.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: The end of the rainbow. Although it's fun to think
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: about a world where.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: That doesn't happen. And then that's chaos, and we love chaos.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Right now to Dallas we go. We're Quinnin Williams, the
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: defensive lineman who was acquired from the Jets last year
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: at the trade deadline mid season for the Dallas football team.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: So he mentioned during the cowboys recent mini camp that
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: he's never made the playoffs in his seven year NFL career.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Of course, that's what happens when you play for the
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Jets and the Cowboys. You don't normally make the playoffs.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: So Dak Prescott was asked about this, and Dak responded
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: with a bold promise.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: If you didn't see this, maybe not Dak Prescott.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: What do you think he said? Do you think he said, Hey,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: don't worry about it. You're a cowboy now. It doesn't
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: matter if you make the playoffs. The idiots by all
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the merch anyway, who cares? Or b listen if you
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: want to make the playoffs with trade of the Rams,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: they're in the playoffs every year, or see, we'll get
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: you in the playoffs. The answer that would be see,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Dak Prescott said, yeah, he said, I'll get you the
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: playoffs and we need you to go help us win it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: But wait, there's more.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: So Dak emphasized that the Dallas offseason has been a
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: major upgrade on defense, and he said he's excited about
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: that new look defensive coaching staff led by someone named
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Christian Parker, former Eagle defensive assistant who's now the big
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: cheese part of the Vic Fangio coaching tree. And he
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: waxed loquacious Dak Prescott about Quinn Williams and Rashawn Gary,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Kenny Clark and the players.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: They have on defense.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Some of them were their last year for part of
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the year, some of them were there all year, some
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: of them were not.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: There at all.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: So the question what do you make of Dakota Prescott
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: selling some serious cowboy kool aid?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: What do you make of it?
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: All?
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Right, So this is.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: The time of the year this stuff happens. These OTAs
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: are to make sure that a players are in shape
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: and b hype up the upcoming season, which is like
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: a month away. And Dak Prescott, I've been doing this
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: job for a couple of years now. So Dak selling
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: cowboy optimism is the most reliable product in Dallas. If
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: you're listening in the greater Dallas here, you know that
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the man loves hope. He loves hope. He sells hope
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: like it's a fortune five hundred commodity.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: He does.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: He's the Dak Prescott is the Sultan of sales. Nobody
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: moves more cowboys Hopium than this guy. Right, he sells
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Hopium by the gallon and every June boocket, every June boocket. Now, Honestly,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: if hope was really a drug, Dak would be the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: top distributor.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: The top guy.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Like the people over at Pfizer would wish they could
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: sell as much product as Dak does Hopium. Right, It's
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: exactly why Jerry Jones puts up with the mediocre playing
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: big games, because he loves him. Because Dak is a
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: doppel ganger of Jerry, and Dak prints revenue and he
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: sells belief by the gallon, and he's able to sell
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: He's mister Sunshine from September to December, and then he
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: turns into an item on the Dairy Queen menu in January,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: serving up blizzards. Now playoff Dac Let's talk about playoff
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: dact for a second. Now there's memes about playoff dact.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: It is factual. It is not urban legend.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: It's factual in the eyeballs and the numbers. He's just
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: not an elite player when it matters. Most seven playoff
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: games in his career two wins, and both of the wins,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: if you break them down, were for Gayzy.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: The way that he played.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: He had some really mediocre performances. The Cowboys won in
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: spite of Dak Prescott. Statistically, Prescott has been measurably worse
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: in the postseason than in the regular season. And so
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: if belief and hopium won you a championship, Dallas would
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: have a dynasty. Unfortunately for them, that is not the
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: pulse the part of the multiverse.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: We live in.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: They keep playing actual playoff games, and that's where Dak
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: is exposed. Our final point to the reunion. Everyone has
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: a reunion, right, No, not a We used to have.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: My family just have big family reunions when I was younger,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: and I was always dragged as a kid, and we
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: don't do that anymore. And I've never been invited to
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: a radio reunion.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: That hasn't happened.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: There was some chatter that next year will be the
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: big anniversary for the original what has become AM five
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: seventy in LA, which is our home, the Dodger Station.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I helped launch that station years ago when it was
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: on a different handle, and there's a big anniversary coming up.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: There's probably no reunion though probably no reunion anyway. I
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: bring that up because JR. Smith, you know who that is.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: It's a Basketballyeah basketball player, that's right.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: So Jr.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Smith has addressed the Komodo dragon in the room. Er
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: go Kyrie Irving, persona non grata, a bunch of the
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen Cavaliers. I was a little kid when they won.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Cavaliers when they won the championship, and there was a
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: reunion that took place. A group including Lebron, James, Tristan Thompson,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Kevin Love and JR. Smith and all they all got
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: together and they celebrated good times.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: You probably saw some of it this if you care
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: about this kind of crap.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Tenth anniversary of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Cadavers as they were.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Called, winning a championship.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: They were all hanging out in Europe golfing, because that's
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: what rich people do. They go to Europe to golf.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Poor people golf at the pitch and putt down the street.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Rich people go to Europe to golf. Sign you're rich,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: You're going to Europe. Anyway, Kyrie Irving, who seemed like
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: kind of a big deal, and I dusted off some
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: old YouTube videos, watched that and looked on the Wikipedia.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Seemed like Kyrie was a key part of that championship
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: squad and he was not there and people noticed.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: They said, why is Kyrie not in Europe? What happened
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: to Kyrie?
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: So j R.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Smith responded to the questions like, what are you doing?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Why did you not bring our guy Kyrie? And he
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: said that the farm He said that listen missing none
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: he meaning Kyrie was invited and ghosted us. All So
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: stop with that bs, which I believe means bullshoy bs. Now,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: some said, well, Kyrie had other commitments in the US.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: He was doing it for the children. He had some
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: basketball events for the children. So the question is j R.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Smith out of line for publicly calling out Kyrie Irving
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: for ghosting the twenty twenty six Calves reunion.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Was this a breach of protocol? A breach of decorum.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: So the answer is no, I'm told I need to
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: expand on that, So the answer is no, he's just
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: telling the truth. Jr's public frustration was palpable and it's
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: entirely justified. The algorithm picked up on this story palace
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: intrigue or cadaver intrigue, and they were blaming the social
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: media bots were blaming j R. Smith, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: and Lebron James.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: And as a.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Result, they said, well, Kyrie Irving, he didn't show up,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: he was what's going on? He didn't invite him? Well,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: and then JR. Smith's like, well, no, we invited it.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I mean he goes to the reunion, And this became
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: a bigger story than the reunion itself, because who cares
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: a about a bunch of old dudes golfing? Who cares
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: about that? So Kyrie's absence it is not the greatest. Look,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: this is just another oddball chapter in the long winding,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: complicated Looney Tunes road of Kyrie Irving, and in many
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: ways the relationship with Lebron James. For some, it proves
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Kyrie and Lebron.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Were never truly aligned.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: And do you believe Kyrie had other commitments giving back
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: to the children, And even if you had other commitments,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: you can always move these things around.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: It happens all the time. Or is this the NBA's
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: version of.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: My phone died, My phone died, you should have charged
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: it now. In Kyrie Irving's defense, I'll be Benny Brightside
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: for Justin in Cincinnati. Maybe this was out of an
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: abundance of caution. For Kyrie, he was probably worried about
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: the Google Map's malfunctioning if he goes to Europe, because
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: if you look at the map, not the map I use,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: but the Kyrie Irving map. If you look at the
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: map there, there is a danger when you go to
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Europe because if you go too far, you end up
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: falling off the flat earth. And we know Kyrie does
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: not want to fall off the flat earth, so it's conceivable.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: That he was concerned about that.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: It's also possible that there's a portal somewhere in Europe
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: where you can fall into the hollow Earth, and Kyrie
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: didn't want that to happen. Either way, this is confirmation
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that Kyrie was never fully fully part of the Cavs brotherhood.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Otherwise you'd be there you'd find a way, come hell
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: or high water, you.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Would be there.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: And so he's a bit of an outsider and we
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: know he does his own thing and all that, and
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: that's just the way it works and period stup.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: If you would like to be part eight seven seven

• 22:42
  Speaker 2: find the next big singer, the next big thing.
• 22:45

  Speaker 2: We were all over the man, but where were we? Well,

  Speaker 2: kerf fluffle involving that situation.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: With the Baltimore.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Ravens, and there's like one year really left, not really two,

• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Smith who said, all you idiots that think that Kyrie
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Irving was not invited, you're all a bunch of dopes.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: He was invited to a little golf getaway. And so
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: there you go.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Late Night Drug Tester writes and says, I'm sure Kyrie
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: heard how much fun the Mallard meet and greets were
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: and was just keeping his calendar open in case.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: There was a last minute announcement.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: It's a fair point, Late Night Drug Tester, It's a
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: fair point. And you never know when these things are
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: gonna pop up. What else do we have a page
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: down chip in the Q says a plus on the
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: our number two Malard monologue. Dak Prescott had the tenth
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: best passer rating in the NFL last year. He's getting
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: all this attention paid to himself more because he's the
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Dallas quarterback than any other reason. You put him on
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals or the Saints and all that attention vanishes. Well, yeah,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: that's location, location, location, and that's clear. And could you
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: even name the Saints quarterback right now if I paid
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: here or the Cardinals quarterback.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: No, it's an open spot on the.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Bingo card Rob the goat Man says Don Martin will
• 28:03

  Speaker 2: US fans would love to see.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: It happen, though, Yeah no, but then yeah, and everyone.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: That worked at that station is either really old now
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: or out of the business. There's only a few people
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: left from the original lineup when that LA station began.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Mister Irrigation from Houston Legend Show Legend writes in he says, Ben,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: you know who else doesn't like broccoli Brussels sprouts? They
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: are rivals, they are, and I despise both. I absolutely
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: despise both. What else we have to see?
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: Page like brussels more than broccoli.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: And well, I'll eat some if they cover it in
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: cheese or something to kill the taste. I don't like
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: any of that stuff cauliflower. Don't want any of that stuff.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I'm good, Bill, who's your bill? Right?
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Since as mid season Mallor Awards, let's go, I'm ordering donuts.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: So you're getting a cinema role on Apple Fritter is
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: what you're doing?
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Hoosier?
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: Bill?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Is that your move there?
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: But for my board to be reset, then we'll go
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: to the calls. I mentioned this earlier. I got to
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: pay this off. So Brian Schottenheimer Shawnee, the Cowboys head coach,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: he complained with a wink and a nod about the
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: World Cup. He was complaining about the set up at
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: at and C Stadium. If you've seen any of the
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: games that of course they're calling it Dallas Stadium because
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: of the people to have a broomstick up there. Took
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: us at FIFA for the Men's World Cup. They hosted
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: matches like England was playing in one of the matches.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: A couple others I believe it played there as well,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: and so it's continuing. And for soccer they installed the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: grass field and the other thing is they kept the
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: end zone window shades, slash curtains closed tinted or blacked
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: out to control the sunlight in the glare. Those delicate
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: little soccer players can't have the sun in their eyes.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: God.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Schottenheimer claimed that the setup made Jerry's world. The Cowboys
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: stadium there not as majestic, he said, as it is
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: during Cowboys games. And he said, fans and teams are
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: going to miss the experience with that Texas sunshine point.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: In in Arlington.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: And of course he was having some fun, having a
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: good time in sucking up to Jerry a little bit.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, my boss loves that. So God can look down
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: and watch the Cowboys. Why not, let's go to the phones.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: We'll say hello to transgender day it was in Texas.

  Speaker 2: transgender Dave, We're the only show that has that take.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: You know, I like to read medical journals in my
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: spare time, and you may have heard about the ebola
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: virus or it turns out the very first symptom of
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: that virus is instead of saying show hey, you say shah.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: So I just want to let your audience know if
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: they find themselves doing that, you will immediately start bleeding
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: from every orifice in your body and you will drop dead.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: So thank you. It's a PSA. That's as a.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: Good night knowing you. And you know, I think maybe
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: you haven't been ginning giving the proper respect to Lorena.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: You talk about her pretty girl privilege, but these pretty girls,
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: they just they don't like to be thought of. Is
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: just another pretty face? Uh, if you want to get
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: a special connection with Lorena, you could say to her
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: what I once said to my girlfriend. I said, you know,
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: you're really not that's pretty and we never had sex again.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's usually a buzzkill for you. I don't normally
• 33:10

• 35:17
  Speaker 4: That's it.

  Speaker 1: Just rub a little dirt. You'll be He'll be good.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: All right, thank go away? Oh yeah, yeah all right.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: So so Fuzzy math, did you see how many people
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: the NYPD claimed attended the championship parade of the Knicks.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: How many people attended the championship parade of the Knicks
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: in New York City's a little fuzzy.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Math here, No, you didn't see that, can I guess?
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: There?
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: Go ahead, I'm gonna say five million people?
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Five million people? All right, coople Loop?
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: How many people you even attended the New York Knicks
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: championship parade?
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: Does she does? She ruin it by going way over?
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: She was not helpful.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna say one point five million.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: See, you went safe. He went conservative.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: The one point five million, Well, Kooper, Loop, you'll be
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: happy to know you are a winner.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: You got it right.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: The NYP we say there were more than two million
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: people lined up in the Canyon of Heroes to celebrate
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: the Knicks winning the championship. And I don't even know
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: about that. All these numbers are fuzzy math. To me,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: that seems more realistic than the Chicago Cubs when they
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: won and claimed they had like the seventh largest gathering
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: of humanity in the history of the world. So this
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: is more believable. I'm still skeptical. Time down for the

  Speaker 3: the Bears will lose the home field advantage of playing
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: outdoors in Chicago.
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: Winters, Ben, do you think that's a big advantage?
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Well, it's helped the Bears my entire life coup every
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: couple of years they win the Super Bowl because they
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: play at Soldier Field and it's cold in Chicago in January.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: So he's absolutely right.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Unless this is the dumbest take of all time, try
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: something different. They suck outside. They have a one since
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: the eighties. Two generations have happened since they last won

  Speaker 1: Boy?
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if he wants to get another big, giant contract,

• 40:59
  Speaker 2: the whole This is the latest experiment for Jerry Jones.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: He's selling this guy, Christian Parker. I never heard of
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: the guy. We'll find out how good a.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Coach he is. But they can't be much worse than
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: they were last year in Dallas.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Next, when asked about leaving the Blazers for the Chicago
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Bulls job, Thiago splitters that I really want to leave

  Speaker 3: that behind.

  Speaker 1: And how did.
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: We do you pass the sessions?
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: That is it win? Bob Chicken
