Speaker 2: border to border and beyond. On the mast and boomingly
1:37
Speaker 2: powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from the row.
1:44
Speaker 1: Must be in the front row.
1:47
Speaker 2: At least this in your head. We're in the front row,
1:51
Speaker 2: we think, at least in your imagination. We're broadcasting live
1:54
Speaker 2: from the ti raq dot com studios.
1:56
Speaker 1: Tyraqt dot com will help you get there.

Speaker 2: and over ten thousand recommended installers. And our friend mister
2:12
Speaker 2: Irrigation impressed by that number. Ten thousand.
2:15
Speaker 1: Tiraq dot com the way tire Buying Show be. So
2:23
Speaker 1: we were tipped off a couple days ago.
2:24
Speaker 2: There was a scandal, an off season scandal that was coming,
2:28
Speaker 2: and it was a vague report, and so we're you know,
2:33
Speaker 2: people say stuff trying to get attention, you know, they
2:35
Speaker 2: try to make it all about them, and it's.
2:38
Speaker 1: Like, well, they didn't name anyone.
2:39
Speaker 2: They said it would be something like a scandal that
2:43
Speaker 2: we had a couple of years ago when we spent
2:46
Speaker 2: a lot of valuable talk radio real estate discussing a
2:51
Speaker 2: certain quarterback of the Cleveland Browns and.
2:54
Speaker 1: The Happy Baby Yoga pos And.
2:57
Speaker 2: So our lead this hour is from that scandal. Tim
3:00
Speaker 2: Baltimore and while the Chiefs and Eagles are plausibly counting
3:04
Speaker 2: down to February ninth for Super Bowl fifty nine.
3:07
Speaker 1: The Ravens, the flock of.
3:11
Speaker 2: Birds, the Poets, well, they're settling for upheaval during their offseason.
3:16
Speaker 2: If you have not heard by now, perhaps not scandal
3:21
Speaker 2: scandal Radio. We have a scandal that involves a kicker.
3:29
Speaker 2: What Yeah, Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been accused of
3:36
Speaker 2: sexual misconduct against multiple massage therapists.
3:42
Speaker 1: Holy Robert Kraft, Batman. So the Baltimore Banner, I don't
3:46
Speaker 1: even know what that is.
3:47
Speaker 2: Apparently it's some kind of online slash newspaper. I've never
3:51
Speaker 2: heard of that. I've heard of the Baltimore Son. I'd
3:53
Speaker 2: never heard of the Baltimore Banner. Anyway, they are reporting
3:57
Speaker 2: that Justin Tucker, the most accurate kicker in NFL history,
4:03
Speaker 2: engaged in taundry behavior inappropriate at not one, not two,
4:09
Speaker 2: not three, but four different day spies in the Baltimore Reason.
4:15
Speaker 2: Who knew that Baltimore had that many day spats? Now
4:18
Speaker 2: in total, they say that half a dozen therapists claim
4:23
Speaker 2: that they were the victims of inappropriate activity, taboo activity
4:30
Speaker 2: by Justin Tucker of the Ravens now there are.
4:35
Speaker 1: No current lawsuits against Tucker. He issued a fiery, passionate denial.
4:42
Speaker 2: He responded to the report accusing him of the sexual misconduct,
4:47
Speaker 2: Tucker claiming that this publication, The Baltimore Banner, published an
4:52
Speaker 2: article marked by journalistic failures. He claims that this is
4:56
Speaker 2: a desperate tabloid fodder's story that was put out there.
5:01
Speaker 2: So let us discuss. I have read the story, so
5:05
Speaker 2: you will not have to, but I do recommend reading.
5:08
Speaker 2: It's pretty interesting, all right, So let us discuss the question.
5:11
Speaker 1: Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been accused of sexual misconduct
5:18
Speaker 1: at multiple massage parlors in the.
5:21
Speaker 2: Baltimore are area. He's claiming, again, journalistic failures. What does
5:26
Speaker 2: the evidence show? So I've got Betty Davis Doorbell and
5:32
Speaker 2: John Lennon and we will combine all of these things
5:36
Speaker 2: together and we are going to catch Bigfoot right now.
5:41
Speaker 2: We're going to catch the great Bigfoot while we do
5:45
Speaker 2: the show multitasking.
5:47
Speaker 1: That's the key.
5:48
Speaker 2: So a my first thought on this now, things do
5:52
Speaker 2: not look great. We don't have all the info. We
5:55
Speaker 2: just have one side of the story. But things are
5:57
Speaker 2: not looking great. We do the show right now, right,
6:00
Speaker 2: we do the show today, and at this moment, based
6:02
Speaker 2: on what we have, it doesn't look that great for
6:05
Speaker 2: Justin Tucker. Now we know there are three sides to
6:07
Speaker 2: every story. In this case, you've got the side of
6:13
Speaker 2: Justin Tucker, You've got the side of the people accusing
6:16
Speaker 2: Justin Tucker, and you have the truth. Now Tucker is
6:21
Speaker 2: using the shoot the messenger strategy, which, by the way,
6:24
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson, Justin Tucker's doppelganger, also used, and.
6:30
Speaker 1: It didn't work for him, and it won't work for
6:33
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker.
6:33
Speaker 2: As soon as he heard about the story, Tucker immediately
6:37
Speaker 2: hired the leading defamation law firm in the United States.
6:42
Speaker 2: That was his first move. I've seen a defamation, defamation, defamation.
6:46
Speaker 2: So the fact that the story was given the green
6:50
Speaker 2: light by this Baltimore Banner outfit is not a good sign.
6:56
Speaker 1: Right. Either they have a death.
6:58
Speaker 2: Wish at the Baltimore Banner and they will be sued
7:02
Speaker 2: into oblivion and blown to smithereens in a lawsuit for
7:05
Speaker 2: publishing a false story, or or they actually have some
7:12
Speaker 2: meat on the bone. And for Justin Tucker, this is
7:15
Speaker 2: a classic line from Betty Davis back in that they
7:18
Speaker 2: fasten your seatbelts.
7:20
Speaker 1: It is going to be a bumpy ride.
7:23
Speaker 2: The fact that the story was vetted by we assume
7:26
Speaker 2: an army of legal beagles who did their due diligence
7:31
Speaker 2: and after a comprehensive audit to determine liability in the article,
7:38
Speaker 2: they determined that the story was good enough and was
7:41
Speaker 2: verified enough to publish. And so the other problem here
7:46
Speaker 2: is this is just the first way and reading stuff
7:51
Speaker 2: online and who knows what's true and what's not.
7:54
Speaker 1: There's a lot of craziness out there.
7:56
Speaker 2: But what has happened in the past, like with Deshaun
7:59
Speaker 2: wats and is that he had the initial report and
8:04
Speaker 2: then he denied it, and then you had a conga
8:07
Speaker 2: line literally women doing the conga as they were walking
8:11
Speaker 2: to tell their stories. They all got checks, big giant
8:14
Speaker 2: checks from Deshaun Watson.
8:16
Speaker 1: He paid them all to be quiet. But they lined up.
8:19
Speaker 2: I mean they were They were lining up, one after another.
8:23
Speaker 2: I'm sure someplace in Cleveland, Deshaun Watson is sending an
8:26
Speaker 2: invite to welcome Justin Tucker to the club, their AFC
8:31
Speaker 2: North besties.
8:32
Speaker 1: The creepy Quarterback meet Creepy kicker be like a reality show,
8:35
Speaker 1: all right, now pitched you.
8:37
Speaker 2: So how much trouble is justin Tucker in with the
8:44
Speaker 2: NFL again this story you're just turning on the machine
8:49
Speaker 2: there that you're listening to. The story claims that multiple women,
8:54
Speaker 2: multiple massage parlors, say that Tucker was doing things he
9:00
Speaker 2: should not have been doing.
9:01
Speaker 1: There are so there's different degrees.
9:03
Speaker 2: Obviously, there's different degrees to this, and at this point
9:07
Speaker 2: it's not all that bad. Tucker has not been charged
9:10
Speaker 2: with a crime. He faces no civil lawsuits based on
9:14
Speaker 2: these allegations, and unlike Deshaun Watson, where they were happening
9:20
Speaker 2: like fast and furious with Watson like right up until
9:24
Speaker 2: the story broke. The article in question says all of
9:29
Speaker 2: this happened between twenty twelve and twenty sixteen, so that's
9:33
Speaker 2: a lot of this is over ten years ago. The
9:36
Speaker 2: last incident they had in this story was from twenty sixteen,
9:40
Speaker 2: so that's you.
9:41
Speaker 1: Know, eight plus nine years however you want to say it.
9:44
Speaker 2: But that that said, the doorbell is a ringer, and
9:49
Speaker 2: the NFL is going to start snooping around. They don't
9:52
Speaker 2: really punish anybody. Deshaun Watson hardly got any punishment. We
9:57
Speaker 2: are told though the NFL, you don't review the allegation,
10:00
Speaker 2: gonna give the standard.
10:00
Speaker 1: We are aware of the situation. We have no further
10:02
Speaker 1: comment at this time.
10:03
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
10:05
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah.
10:07
Speaker 1: We're aware of the inappropriate conduct by Justin Tucker. So
10:11
Speaker 1: what are the claims? Now? I'm going to attempt to
10:16
Speaker 1: describe on the friendly airwaves of commercial radio what Justin
10:23
Speaker 1: Tucker is accused of doing.
10:26
Speaker 2: So I have to I know, kids listening in the
10:30
Speaker 2: middle of the night, so I have to make sure
10:32
Speaker 2: to couch my my verbige. So I'm gonna I'm gonna
10:34
Speaker 2: change some words around and I think you'll understand. Just
10:37
Speaker 2: play along, see if you can figure out what I'm saying.
10:39
Speaker 1: So, the report from this outfit in Baltimore claims that
10:44
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker exposed his twiggin berries to the massage therapist.
10:50
Speaker 1: Even when they tried to cover up the twigging.
10:52
Speaker 2: Berries, the tow would fall off, exposing the twigg and berries.
10:57
Speaker 3: Uh.
10:57
Speaker 1: He brushed two of the massage therapist with his junk.
11:03
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of junk apparently, well not that much,
11:05
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. And he left all right,
11:09
Speaker 1: hold on, let me see again. He left what is
11:11
Speaker 1: believed to be a.
11:14
Speaker 2: Deposit, a proprietary blend of his own personal tartar sauce
11:19
Speaker 2: on the massage table at three of his treatments. I
11:24
Speaker 2: think he can say tartar sauce, right, yeah, I mean
11:27
Speaker 2: that could be anything, right, Fish and chips have some
11:29
Speaker 2: tartar sauce. So Tucker, he will face some kind of
11:33
Speaker 2: discipline from the NFL under the personal conduct policy if
11:38
Speaker 2: the allegations are substantiated. But based on the time and
11:43
Speaker 2: the amount of time that's passed and how little punishment
11:46
Speaker 2: the NFL gave to Shaun Watson, it ain't gonna be much. Right,
11:50
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be much now, the last word here,
11:52
Speaker 2: and again unless there's more to it that. That's the
11:55
Speaker 2: other part of this. How much comes out of this
11:58
Speaker 2: in the days to come? Here will be the second
12:01
Speaker 2: wave that happened now, last word here. So what does
12:06
Speaker 2: this story, though, do? Forget about the NFL punishment and
12:09
Speaker 2: all that, what does this story do for the future
12:13
Speaker 2: of Justin Tucker with the.
12:14
Speaker 1: Ravens so this is this is gummy.
12:19
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a gummy situation because Justin Tucker, you know,
12:22
Speaker 2: my boots on the ground in Baltimore. Tell me how
12:24
Speaker 2: beloved Tucker is. He has a lot of commercials and
12:26
Speaker 2: all that he's like the greatest kicker of all time,
12:28
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah, mister reliable. But I would argue,
12:32
Speaker 2: based on this story that in a couple of other factors,
12:37
Speaker 2: Justin Tucker is living a John Lennon song, borrowed time
12:42
Speaker 2: with the Ravens. He's thirty five years old. That strike one,
12:45
Speaker 2: thirty five year old kicker. Strike one, he has shown
12:49
Speaker 2: signs of decay. Strike two. Now you have this story
12:53
Speaker 2: that he has been doing things with his you know,
12:59
Speaker 2: his item there, he's not kept it in the pants.
13:05
Speaker 2: That strike three. So the Raylers and the Ravens will
13:08
Speaker 2: do a risk assessment, cost benefit analysis, and they'll factor
13:13
Speaker 2: all that in. He does have three years left in
13:15
Speaker 2: his contract. However, unlike the creepy quarterback, the creepy kicker
13:19
Speaker 2: does not have does not have a fully guaranteed contract,
13:23
Speaker 2: and there is an out and then get out of
13:26
Speaker 2: the contract situation. Here this offseason, these allegations give the
13:31
Speaker 2: Ravens the gap. It's like the a gap is wide
13:34
Speaker 2: open here, and if they want, they can excommunicate Justin
13:39
Speaker 2: Tucker and say that's it, see you later.
13:42
Speaker 1: It's pretty odd the timing of this.
13:45
Speaker 2: I often ask the question why, now, why did the
13:49
Speaker 2: story come out? Like, who's who's got an ax to
13:51
Speaker 2: grind with Tucker? This happened, according to the story, we're
13:55
Speaker 2: talking him almost ten years ago.
13:56
Speaker 1: So what sparked the story to get out?
13:59
Speaker 2: I guess there was things online about this, but nothing
14:02
Speaker 2: in a media outlet that had been reported.
14:05
Speaker 1: And so like, what is the timing on this? Now?
14:08
Speaker 2: Who's benefiting? Justin Tucker's obviously not benefiting. There's no lawsuits,
14:15
Speaker 2: so plausibly nobody financially at this point's benefiting. I would
14:18
Speaker 2: imagine the ambulance chasing or in this case, massage parlor chasing, lawyers.
14:24
Speaker 1: Who's that guy in Texas that does all the lawsuits?
14:26
Speaker 2: I forget the guy's name. There's a guy in Houston
14:28
Speaker 2: that does all this stuff, like he's the king of this. Now,
14:31
Speaker 2: back in my day it was Gloria alright, but yeah,
14:33
Speaker 2: she's been replaced. There's this high full lout in Texas
14:36
Speaker 2: attorney that everyone goes to when they want to sue,
14:39
Speaker 2: sue somebody for this kind of stuff. But all signs
14:42
Speaker 2: as far as his future with the Ravens, all signs
14:44
Speaker 2: point to divorce court. That's pretty easy. Idiot kicker aging kicker.
14:51
Speaker 2: Kickers are not they're not essential, they're non essential employees.
14:57
Speaker 2: So it's like, go go down on to the bus
15:00
Speaker 2: station and get a new kicker.
15:02
Speaker 1: Knock yourself out. It is the Ben Mallor Show, and
15:08
Speaker 1: we're here all night.
15:09
Speaker 2: It is a joke night, which means coming up a
15:11
Speaker 2: little bit later on in our three you will not
15:15
Speaker 2: be listening anymore, but we're gonna open up a comedy club.
15:17
Speaker 2: These are actual jokes sent in by actual listeners. We
15:21
Speaker 2: have some amazingly funny people that work as truck drivers
15:28
Speaker 2: and security guards and bakers and whatever brings you to
15:32
Speaker 2: the overnight, and they're very funny, and once a week
15:36
Speaker 2: they send us their top jokes. Many of them I
15:38
Speaker 2: don't even get on the air because they're so offensive,
15:40
Speaker 2: but they're very funny.
15:41
Speaker 1: We're not allowed to use those.
15:42
Speaker 2: You don't want to get in trouble with corporate, but
15:46
Speaker 2: we think they're great and we use as many of
15:48
Speaker 2: them as we can. They're Q and A jokes And
15:50
Speaker 2: so that'll be coming up in our number three. In
15:54
Speaker 2: our four we'll have.
15:55
Speaker 1: The Koop Scoop. On entertainment, we're scheduled to have Sports
15:58
Speaker 1: Jeopardy next hour an hour two.
16:01
Speaker 2: It'll be Mallor to the third degree. We look forward
16:04
Speaker 2: to that. That'll be that'll be a good time. So
16:06
Speaker 2: how that coming up in our number three? And right ahead,
16:12
Speaker 2: not following the talking points memo. Not following the talking
16:19
Speaker 2: points memo, what is that all about?
16:21
Speaker 1: We'll get to that.
16:21
Speaker 2: We'll take your calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine

16:39
Speaker 2: many of them wishing we'd only do newby nights. But
16:41
Speaker 2: then it wouldn't be a newby Night. It'd be in

16:45
Speaker 2: But we're not blocking any new people from calling. It's

Speaker 1: that several times. Kramer aka Terry in England rights and
19:08
Speaker 1: he says Tucker could not hit a barn door with
19:11

19:18
Speaker 1: Here you go.
19:19
Speaker 2: Anthony in Anaheim says he is absolutely shocked that a
19:24
Speaker 2: guy getting rubbed down naked took things.

Speaker 2: down these messagh therapist there, and he's lining them up
20:04
Speaker 2: one after another.
20:05
Speaker 1: But he's no, he's actually no way to ma.
20:07
Speaker 2: I don't think it Rusty Hardens not the guy, because
20:10
Speaker 2: it wasn't Rusty Harden the he was the defense attorney
20:13
Speaker 2: for I believe he was the defense attorney for Watson, So.
20:19
Speaker 1: It wasn't him, it was the It was another guy
20:22
Speaker 1: in in Houston.
20:24
Speaker 2: But I'm pretty sure Rusty Harden was the defense attorney
20:28
Speaker 2: representing Watson, and it was the the other attorney that
20:34
Speaker 2: was accusing that was representing the accusers.
20:36
Speaker 1: I don't remember the name off.
20:38
Speaker 2: The top of my head, but the guy pops up
20:39
Speaker 2: in like a lot of high profile cases. So anyway,
20:44
Speaker 2: that's uh, we'll see what happened. This could be the
20:46
Speaker 2: summer of Justin Tucker. Yeah, the summer of Justin Tucker.
20:51
Speaker 2: How much fun would that be? Get us through the
20:52
Speaker 2: summer and back to the to the new, the new
20:55
Speaker 2: football season. Ot here it is Tony Buzby. That's the
20:58
Speaker 2: guy that's your go. So if you're trying to sue
21:01
Speaker 2: an athlete act, you get that guy right there called
21:04
Speaker 2: Tony Busby, that's your lawyer.
21:06
Speaker 1: He'll take care of you. He'll help you out for
21:09
Speaker 1: a small nominal fee. Stevie Meatballs writes, In says, my goodness,
21:14
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker, instead of all this trouble with massage therapist,
21:19
Speaker 1: take a lesson from Bill Miller, and he is introducing
21:24
Speaker 1: Dustin blank, toss it to yourself at work, where Horsey
21:30
Speaker 1: sauce is just another condiment. So he so he says,
21:36
Speaker 1: who else do we have? Pays down?
21:38
Speaker 2: The Russian kid says, I was hoping this would be
21:41
Speaker 2: the opener of the show. Since this is the most
21:44
Speaker 2: interesting story from the super Bowl yet, Justin Tucker will
21:48
Speaker 2: be released. But this explains why he had such a
21:52
Speaker 2: craptashtic year, the worst of his career. Maybe something heavy
21:56
Speaker 2: was on his mind. How do you go from Hall
21:59
Speaker 2: of Fame career to this?
22:01
Speaker 1: Wow? Well, it is also possible that he just kind
22:03
Speaker 1: of got old. He just kind of that happens. Gunner
22:08
Speaker 1: from northern Minnesota, works at a Walmart in northern Minnesota,
22:13
Speaker 1: but not in du Luth way further past the Luth
22:16
Speaker 1: small town there in Minnesota. He says, great.
22:18
Speaker 2: Opening monologue, and you'll rarely hear that from me. Well,
22:22
Speaker 2: that's Gunner approved. Is that a good thing or not?
22:26
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know. Mark from Queens, he says.
22:31
Speaker 2: Justin Tucker leaving a sample of his own proprietary tartar sauce.
22:36
Speaker 1: He liked that. He thought that was a good way
22:37
Speaker 1: to describe what was left behind.
22:40
Speaker 2: And Ozzie was from Australia where he drives down the
22:45
Speaker 2: road and he's accompanied by kangaroos the ruse. He says,
22:50
Speaker 2: that was pretty cool. He has says, welcome to the
22:52
Speaker 2: AFC North where the accusations fly.
22:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, there have been a few.
22:58
Speaker 2: Well, Justin Tucker could still get a statue. There's a
23:01
Speaker 2: Ray Lewis statue. Where's the white suit?
23:03
Speaker 1: Ray? Where's the white suit? Ray? I gave him a statue.
23:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, people killed themselves out there in the streets, so
23:10
Speaker 2: I don't know there, but interesting.
23:13
Speaker 1: Interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting for sure.
23:19
Speaker 2: Now everyone's sending me Tony Buzzby's name. All right, we've
23:21
Speaker 2: got we figured it out. It's Tony Busby. That's the guy,
23:24
Speaker 2: that's the go to guy. He ran for mayor in Houston.
23:28
Speaker 1: He's, you know, typical.
23:30
Speaker 2: If there was a Hollywood writer describing what a Texas
23:34
Speaker 2: attorney should be, it's Tony Busby, It's Rusty Hardened. A
23:40
Speaker 2: combination of those guys, that's what it is. You just
23:44
Speaker 2: put them together in like a combo dish, and you
23:47
Speaker 2: are good to go. Eight seven seven ninety nine on

26:37
Speaker 1: Likes the nonsense that we put out here every day. Milkman.
26:42
Speaker 2: Mike in Colorado says, it's expected that the opening monologue
26:47
Speaker 2: would start off with low hanging fruit since the sports
26:50
Speaker 2: world is somewhat quiet. I guess Justin Tucker should have
26:55
Speaker 2: tucked a little better and this never would have popped.
27:00
Speaker 1: Up.
27:01
Speaker 2: He says, we're good, We're okay. Yeah, I mean there's
27:08
Speaker 2: plenty of I learned during the Deshaun Watson story. We
27:11
Speaker 2: were talking about that three or four nights a week.
27:14
Speaker 2: I've got all all my radio friendly terms ready ready
27:20
Speaker 2: to go. So if this becomes a bigger story, we're
27:23
Speaker 2: talking about this thing.
27:23
Speaker 1: Every night. We'll transition from twigging berries, We've got We've
27:30
Speaker 1: got a lot Dana ling ding dong. You can go there.
27:33
Speaker 2: There's a lot of options, a lot of options you
27:36
Speaker 2: can use to describe what you need to describe. Absolutely,
27:43
Speaker 2: let's see Miami, Danny writes in He says, I got
27:45
Speaker 2: a call I had to take and I accidentally hung up. Else,
27:50
Speaker 2: what don't you have call? Can't you everyone have a situation?
27:54
Speaker 2: You can put a call on hold and then take
27:55
Speaker 2: the other call, like what do you what are you ten?
28:00
Speaker 2: He's my main question was actually the NFL. The Nashville
28:06
Speaker 2: radio consensus. Even though he still lives in Miami, he
28:08
Speaker 2: listens to the podcast. He said, is to trade back
28:12
Speaker 2: and somehow trade for Sam Donald.
28:16
Speaker 1: Here you go, I'd be fine with that. Well, you
28:19
Speaker 1: don't have to trade for Sam Donald because Sam Donald's
28:21
Speaker 1: gonna be a free agent, So you just have.
28:22
Speaker 2: To sign Sam Donald. And that's fine because you're not
28:26
Speaker 2: gonna win a Super Bowl with Sam Donald.
28:28
Speaker 1: But you can be competitive. You'd be all right? Why not?
28:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, Anthony and Anaheim says, Ben, please do not take
28:36
Speaker 2: a call from the worst teacher in the world, and
28:40
Speaker 2: whatever happened to Lance, the worst bus driver in America. Well,
28:45
Speaker 2: Anthony Lance, the worst bus driver north America, calls maybe
28:49
Speaker 2: three or four times a year. He sold out, much
28:52
Speaker 2: like Chris and Houston and so many other fans of
28:54
Speaker 2: the show.
28:55
Speaker 1: He sold out to the dreaded day Shift and he
28:59
Speaker 1: rides the bus.
29:00
Speaker 2: No longer drives the bus around the Tenderloin district in
29:03
Speaker 2: San Francisco. Now he drives one of the bougie roots.
29:06
Speaker 2: So he's living large traveling around. He usually calls us up. Well,
29:10
Speaker 2: last time he called us up. His car got stolen
29:13
Speaker 2: and he found it. It was being used in those
29:17
Speaker 2: car takeovers in like in Oakland, and he called the
29:21
Speaker 2: I think he called the cops and nothing.
29:23
Speaker 1: We can do.
29:25
Speaker 2: Nothing with your car. We know you know where your
29:28
Speaker 2: car is, but it was really nothing. It's in a garage,
29:29
Speaker 2: so we can't really help you.
29:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, can not do it.
29:33
Speaker 2: Nature boy Rights, Sin says. My old lady is just
29:35
Speaker 2: getting ready for the Pro Bowl this weekend. Yeah, what
29:40
Speaker 2: a great event. Did you see any of that Pro
29:42
Speaker 2: Bowl stuff there was? I kept flipping over that. Yeah,
29:47
Speaker 2: it's very similar. There was a game show. They had
29:50
Speaker 2: all kinds of cheeseball events at this thing, and I
29:54
Speaker 2: I wasn't interested in it, but yet I found myself.
29:57
Speaker 2: I was watching some basketball and I kept going back
29:59
Speaker 2: to it because I thought, this is actually on television,
30:02
Speaker 2: Like this.
30:02
Speaker 1: Is an NFL product. I was on today, Well, the
30:06
Speaker 1: beginning of it.
30:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, it started on Thursday. There's events, I guess all weekend.
30:11
Speaker 2: The flag football game is on Sunday.
30:14
Speaker 1: But what time was that on? It was nighttime hours.
30:19
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't when it started. I turned
30:21
Speaker 1: over they had I was at a bar with a
30:23
Speaker 1: bunch of TVs. It was not on a single one
30:26
Speaker 1: of them.
30:26
Speaker 2: They had a they had a trivia game, trivia game.
30:31
Speaker 2: They're lying, Yeah, they mixed in the NFL trivia. They
30:34
Speaker 2: had a relay race.
30:36
Speaker 1: But it wasn't between like the players, right, No, No,
30:38
Speaker 1: they're asking the players trivia questions about I'm not kidding.
30:42
Speaker 1: They're stealing our material. This is like what we do.
30:44
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm like, why don't I play in the NFL?
30:46
Speaker 1: Now I'm ready?
30:47
Speaker 2: I mean there's some hard I mean, Jesus, they played dodgeball.
30:51
Speaker 2: It was had a relay race.
30:54
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the context. I didn't see that
30:58
Speaker 1: maybe that's maybe that's not Friday. That might be on Friday.
31:02
Speaker 1: He was wild like I was like, this is like
31:04
Speaker 1: the worst thing ever, but I couldn't turn it off.
31:06
Speaker 2: I was like I kept I did turn away, and
31:08
Speaker 2: then I'd come back and I was like, well, that's
31:10
Speaker 2: even worse than what I watched before. And I was like, Wow, somebody,
31:14
Speaker 2: somebody said this is okay to put on. We'll put
31:15
Speaker 2: the NFL logo on it. We're good to go.
31:18
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm not in the demo. I
31:20
Speaker 1: get it. I'm not in the demo. I don't know
31:22
Speaker 1: what their demo is for that. I'm not sure.
31:24
Speaker 2: People that don't like football, I guess that would be
31:26
Speaker 2: the demo. Yeah, man, all right, anyway, it is the
31:31
Speaker 2: Ben Mahlor Show. We were working away through the over
31:37
Speaker 2: night hours and not following the talking points memo. That
31:41
Speaker 2: would be Buffalo Bill's running back James Cook. He was
31:45
Speaker 2: not cooking with the popular narrative by popular people that
31:51
Speaker 2: the NFL rigged the game the AFC Championship game for
31:55
Speaker 2: Kansas City and screwed over the Buffalo Bills, and James
31:59
Speaker 2: Cook fused to blame the officials for Buffalo bumbling away
32:06
Speaker 2: the AFC Championship game at Arrowhead Stadium. So I say,
32:09
Speaker 2: good job by mister Cook. Way to go, somebody with balls,
32:16
Speaker 2: James Cook. There are many people who are convinced they
32:20
Speaker 2: have proof, they have proof that the NFL ragged that
32:24
Speaker 2: game for Kansas City, very worried about market number thirty
32:27
Speaker 2: one having success.
32:29
Speaker 1: But James Cook not on board, not on board with that.
32:33
Speaker 1: I liked his his approach because that's that's the way
32:39
Speaker 1: it is.
32:39
Speaker 2: But they had the stat that during the season no
32:43
Speaker 2: team benefited more from the officiating than the Buffalo Bills.
32:46
Speaker 1: They had the highest percentage of drives that they.
32:50
Speaker 2: Were helped by first downs from officials, meeting penalties gave
32:55
Speaker 2: them first downs extending the drive.
32:58
Speaker 1: And nobody saying mother trying to rig it for Buffalo.
33:02
Speaker 1: No one's saying that. I haven't heard anyone say nobody.
33:06
Speaker 1: Time now for the who Am I? Game? This is
33:09
Speaker 1: where I pretend to be somebody else, as we call it,
33:10
Speaker 1: who am I? Game?
33:12
Speaker 2: So Tom Brady, Tom Brady and me are tied for
33:18
Speaker 2: losing the most career fumbles.
