• 2:56
  Speaker 2: So our lead this I will move away from the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic is Team USA chokes. Aaron Judge does
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: what Aaron Judge does in big games, and it's just
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: not there.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So it's not a line.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, goodbye to Team USA.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: But we move on.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: We move on to the High Speed Sports Wire. The
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: High Speed Sports Wire got a surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: NFL trade random day, middle of March, NFL trade.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Did you hear about this? No, Well, the.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Denver Broncos have made a move. After sleeping through the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: beginning of the NFL offseason, the Broncos went out and
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: picked up Dolphins wide receiver Jalen Wattle, much to the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: dismay of Stevie Meatballs. Jalen Wattle wattles out of Miami,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: leaves the pod and goes to Denver in exchange for
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: a gaggle a gaggle of promissory notes including a first,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: a third, and a fourth round pick and a partridge
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: in a pear tree in this year's draft. Now it
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: is not done done. Although the Ravens aren't involved in
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: this so it likely is done. Wattle is twenty seven.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: He will undergo a physical and that'll happen later today.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: So the Broncos will then have to say everything's kosher
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: or it's not, and then pull the Ravens and if
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: they reject the trade. But we're going to go onto
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the premise that the trade is going to happen. Unless
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Denver does do a copycat thing like Baltimore, we're good.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: So Wattle will slide into the Mile High City as
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the pre eminent wide receiver on that depth chart. So
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: let us discuss good jumping off point the question and
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: keep it simple.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It's overnight sports radio.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: How do you grade the Broncos trade for wide receiver
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Jalen Wattle from the Miami Dolphins. So my observations, I've
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: got roman alis in chains and Poltergeist.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: We will combine.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: All of these things together and we're gonna bust some chops,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: is what we're gonna do.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: We're gonna bust some shops. And why not?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: So number jump the gun number wa I rocked back
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and forth. Fine, whatever, Now you if you listen to
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: this show, you most likely think that I am going
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to to zig. I usually zig that's that's been what
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I've known to do. I've been known to do the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: zig on this one, though, I'm gonna zag. I'm not
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: gonna zig. I'm gonna zag. We used to have a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: caller named zig Zag years ago. He's all grown up now.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened to him. I'm gonna zag.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And the reason I'm going to zag, let me tell
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you why, all right.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I like the trade.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: From Denver's perspective, I think it's a good trade. I'm
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: not trying to suck up the Cooper anything like that,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: or you know, any of the milkman who's a big
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: fan of the Broncos. And I really like the trade,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna pretend like I don't just to
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: be a better talk show host. I think this is
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: a good trade for the Broncos here, and I'm f
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: them picks guy. I've always been f them picks guy,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: And the Broncos just said, f them picks, thumbs up.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Way to go. Seriously, the Broncos.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Have been moving like a sloth in quicksand since the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: playoffs ended and they lost in the championship game to
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the Patriots and all that stuff, and they literally had
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and we exaggerate, said, well, they really haven't done anything. No,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the Broncos had done squad doush, they got bupkis nothing.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: They did not sign anyone outside of the player. They
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: re signed some guys, but they didn't add anyone who
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: was a free agent who hadn't already played for the Broncos.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: So no outside help came in. And then all of
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a sudden, they go Houdini. They go Houdi, and they
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: added a legitimate weapon. And this is oxygen. It's oxygen
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: for that offense. That that's my word. They can they
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: can open some things up. They can breathe again with
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: that oxygen now. And the Broncos, even though they had
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: a successful season, they won a lot of games, they
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: did not do it because of their passing offense.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: They just didn't. And then the.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Broncos the word for the Broncos offense was raggedy in
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: terms of the throwing of the football twenty ninth this
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: past season, twenty ninth this past season, and twenty fifth
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: in possessions and with three and out, so they were
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: twenty ninth out of thirty two teams in possessions that
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: ended in three and out. Twenty five percent of the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: time the Broncos had the ball, it was run, a
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: play run, a play run, a play punt run, a
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: play run, a play run, a play punt run, a
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: play run, a play run, a play punt. That was
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the Broncos offense there. So Wattle, he will help. I'll
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: use the word modernize the Broncos attack. And how big
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: an upgrade is it? You asked, how big and upgrade will?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I will tell you so, thanks for asking. Wattle had
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: sixty four catches and nine hundred ten yards. He was
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the part of the area, was the number one receiver
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: most of the he was the number two receiver in Miami.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: So sixty four catches, nine hundred ten yards. I said, well,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: that's a good year, not a great year.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I agree with you.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I absolutely agree that's a good year, not a great year.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: He had six touchdowns this past season. If those same
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: numbers had happened in Denver, he would have been third
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: in catches, second in yards, and second in touchdowns for
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the Broncos wide receivers. So that's how bad the situation
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: was in Denver. And Wattle is not just a speed racer.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: He's got that. He's more than that. He's like the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: fastest guy in the NFL. At least he was coming
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: out of college, the fastest guy in the NFL. And
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: this offense had been flatlining with all the punts twenty
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: five percent of the time here, So it's a beep beep.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Now you got a jolt. Now you got a little joke.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Don't f this up.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Denver needed a spark plug on offense. They needed a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: big time playmaker, and they got it. Didn't get a
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: spark plug. They got a Roman candle, is.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: What they got.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: So that's more than just your normal run of the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: mill spark plug a guy that has not been a
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: full season number one wide receiver. However, you would assume
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: this is rather an easy upgrade situation and changes the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: geometry for the Broncos next season. The way you approach
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the Broncos you have a good receiver, what normally happens.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: We see this with Puka Nakua and other great receivers
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. The safeties have to back it up
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: a little bit, back it up and some lanes open
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: up to make things easier to matriculate the ball down
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the field. Suddenly you have a little more daylight and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: things just come together easier in the modern NFL when
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you have a big time wide receiver. So the Mallor
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: report card on the Jalen Wattle Trade the Mallor report card,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: it goes as follows. The Broncos on the Malar scorebook
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: get an A minus.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Not an A plus, A minus.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to a plus as the Dolphins get
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: a C minus and I'm being very generous with that.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: The Dolphins have announced long, not just now, they've they've
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: announced this for a while. They've announced that they are
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: out of the trying to win business. The Broncos have said, essentially,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: this is a gap year, and you people are such suckers.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: You're still gonna buy our tickets. You're still gonna buy
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: our merch, and we're not trying to win. Like they're
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: not even hiding it.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: They're not.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: You just gave away jail and waddle and said get
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: out of here, bye bye for some scratcher tickets and
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: some promisory notes and all that stuff. And the Dolphins
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: are moving. They've contacted the people over at U Haul.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: They're hiring some people to come help them move, and
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: they're they're moving from they weren't in the penthouse, but
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: they were like a nice like the building was like
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: twenty seven story, twenty eight stories and right in the middle.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: They're moving from that and they're relocating the Miami Dolphins,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and they're they're looking to move into a porta potty.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: They want to move in.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: It's small, it's small, minimalist living. They're going to live
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: in a porta potty and it's fine during the winter.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: During the summer, living in a porta potty is a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: bit of a problem, a bit of a problem right now,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Page two, as we continue the conversation, keeping the theme
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: going with Jalen Waddle, love the name, love the name,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: heading inbound the question how much extra pressure? How much
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: extra pressure is now on quarterback bo Nicks in Denver?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: So the Broncos, what they did is here, they just
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: walked into a five star steakhouse and they ordered a nice,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: hearty tomahawk steak, and they said, we would like the
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: tomahawk steak. We want the ribbi as well. We want
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: all that them. Let's call it tomahawk ribbi. We want that,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: and and that.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Would be Jalen Wattle Wattle, Wattle Wattle.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: So they got him, and they just Sean Payton just
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: handed the fork to bow Knicks, who last year with
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the Broncos was eating Dino nuggets and uncrustables. So now
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: he's got a nice big Tomahawk steak and he can
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: enjoy that knock it out of the park. This is
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: one situation here where you look at it and you're like, well,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: it's a positive because bo Nix now has a legit
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: receiver to add to the mix there in Denver. At
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: the same time, though, you have to queue up the
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Alison chains tune no excuses, because now the main alibi
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: for bow Knicks is yeah but yeah, but yeah, but
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: he didn't have this great wide receiver. Yeah but yeah,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: but you didn't have enough playmakers. Ye have it, you
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: have it, Ye have it, you have it. Theyabbitt Rabbit,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the Yabbitt Rabbit. Well now he's got a big time
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: player who will seemingly only get better as he becomes
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: a target fiend in Denver. And so bow Knicks now
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: you can no longer just be a bus writer. You
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: have to be the bus driver, like Lancel the bus driver.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: That's what you have to do here. And the Broncos
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: they made the AFC Title Game. Granted, much like the Patriots,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: they played a bunch of tomato cancer in their season,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: but they made the AFC Title Game and.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: It wasn't because of the quarterback play.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Is it true that bow Knicks was the twenty fifth
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: ranked quarterback in the NFL? Is it also true that
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: bow Knicks was statistically worse, statistically worse in quarterback rating
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: than to a tongue of I Looa and Justin Fields,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: a couple of quarterbacks that were decommissioned by their teams
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: last season. Yes, so a lot of captain checkdown stuff,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of that, and you trade for Wattle. You
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: better not be checking down if you're bow Nicks on
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: third and eight, you shouldn't be throwing a ball at
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: a line of scrimmage then one yard in, No, you
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: got you gotta throw the ball, don't check down. No,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: take the training wheels off. If you're Sean Payton and
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: let let it rip, put up or shut up time.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: If the Broncos offense doesn't get tangibly better with bow
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Nicks this year, having added Jalen Wattle, then you have
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: to question whether or not bo Nicks is the guy.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: So there's people all foaming at them out there in Denver.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: They're all excited. This is great, Wattle. He's taking all
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: those targets. He wants all the targets. Jalen Wattle, get
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: them all and boeck again. Take the training wheels off.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Time to eat like a king.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Or the other option is you.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Choke on the stake and then they gotta call the
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: paramedics because you're choking. It's a problem, all right now.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Final point, with Jalen Wattle out bound and heading to Denver,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: we look at the losing locker room here. What does
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: this do for the twenty twenty six Dolphins, especially the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: fact that they did add a new quarterback, Tua Is out.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: They went out and added Malik Willis their new quarterback.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: And there are some over the top stories bouncing around
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: the echo chamber.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, poor, poor poor Malik Willis.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: This is so sad. It's so depressing from Malik Willis.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: So the question are you gonna go thumbs up or
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: thumbs down? Thumbs up or thumbs down? So up is
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: this and then down is this? Thumbs up or thumbs down?
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: On quarterback? Malik Willis regretting his decision to sign with
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: the Miami football team. So thumbs up or thumbs down.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: So thumbs up means he regrets it. Thumbs down means
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: he doesn't regret it. And I am going to go
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Survey says thumbs down. Yeah, I'm going thumbs down on
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: this as one hundred percent thumbs down.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Just stop it, stop it? What are you doing here? Like?
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: This is not a SOB story, It's not that at all.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: For Malik Willis, he knew exactly exactly what he was
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: signing up for. It wasn't like they were hiding it.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: And we mentioned the fact that the Dolphins were never
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: in the penthouse. They hadn't been in the penthouse, and
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Dan Marino even before that, they hadn't that hadn't been
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: there a while. So this has been an active construction
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: site with the head coach gone, the quarterback gone, the
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: star defensive player gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Gonzo Gonzo,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and so there's a lot of caution tape. It's a
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: lot of caution tape. There's some exposed wiring, it's not safe.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: You had to wear a hard hat when you go
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: into the Dolphins locker room. It's a teardown. It's a teardown.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Studs and Plywood. Of course, the dolphins don't have any studs.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: It's mostly duds. It's duds at this point in Plywood.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: That's where it's kind of to complain about this. It's
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: like buying a haunted mansion and then being surprised to
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: find out that poltergeist is living in the attic where
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: you bought a haunted mansion. Dummy, what did you think?
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: And so that's the feature that's not a bug, that's
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: not a glitch. You bought it said in the Zillo
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: listing that it's haunted and there's a ghosts and goblins
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: in there, and you can't be shocked. So think about
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: the you are. Here are the options from League willis.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: You were at a fork in the road, and if
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: you go to the right, Arizona and if you go
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: to the left, Miami, those are the options. That's like
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: a child having to eat dinner and Mom made the
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: kid two possible dishes. Here, cauliflower on the right side
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: of the plate and Brussels sprouts on the left side.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Pick your poison, hope, there's a lot of ketchup or
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: barbecue sauce to cover the vegetables with, and just close
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: your eyes and try to cover your nose and chew
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and get it over with and all that. Let's not
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: act like Malik Willis deserve to get a job in
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: a good situation. I'm happy that he's gonna get an opportunity,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: not that he necessarily earned it by doing anything magical.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: In Green Bay. This is again where you go to
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: a team that's perceived to be a contender and you
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: don't play, and your value skyrockets.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: It's very bizarre.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: It doesn't happen in any other line of work other
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: than professional sports and mainly the NFL. How often do
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: we see a outfielder. Let's say there's some outfielder that
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: has supposed to be good, not very good, ends up
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: going to the Dodgers as a part time player, and
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: then ends up getting a big opportunity after that didn't happen.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I can't recall that happening anytime recently. And so Malik
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Willis he got the contract based on speculation. It's kind
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: of like how you play a stock market. You project
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: certain stocks are going to do well. They're projecting that
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Malik Well, it's at this point, is a penny stock
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: is going to become something more than that, not necessarily
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: a blue chip stock, but more than a penny stock
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: somewhere in the middle.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: And there can be no regrets. The man is getting over.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Sixty five million dollars sixty I think the number is
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: like sixty seven million. There are zero regrets, zero regrets,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: and you can afford really good therapy. You can buy
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: yourself a miniature horse if that's what you need. And
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: so if you think Malik Willis is crying, there's no crying.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Now when you get that kind of money, he's laughing
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: and he's hit. He's jumping up and down and going
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: crazy and it's just great as he goes to the
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: ATM to get as much cash as he wants. And
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: so this is the NFL where you know, you take
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the cash, you don't ask questions, you take the money.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: And if there's.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Chaos, and yeah, dysfunction's baked into the cake and you
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: just deal with that when the time comes and make
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: sure that you have all that money saved up and
• 20:18

• 25:34
  Speaker 2: This goes out to our friend Jill Yankee fan Jill
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota. Aaron Judge in the World Baseball Classic elimination
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: games had eleven at bats in elimination games, and obviously
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: this was an elimination game.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: They got eliminated, and.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: In those games he was two for eleven in elimination game,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: struck out six times, and did not have a run
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: batted in. Now, I didn't play major league baseball. I
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: don't think that's good. You're being too critical? Why are
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: you being so critical? Lucky Tony is in the Bay Area.

  Speaker 6: me Rod Dog. Thanks Ben.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Let's say hello to it, says Sophie in Boston. Hello,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Sophie in Boston.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Welcome to the show there, idiots.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: Hello, this is Sophie. First time, long time. I've never
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: actually been on the radio before, and I'm about to
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: unpack something that has to do with mental health that
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: needs to be accurate. So I'd appreciate maybe a second
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: just to explain that this is blind Scott's alter ego
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: through dissociation identity. Did tought it. It's never come out
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: on the radio before, but it's here because Blin Scott
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: was taking it to the wall and acting too crazy.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: So hold on, let me see Jed who fled? What
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: do you think I should do with Sophie in Boston? Jed,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: who fled?
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: For the first time, the first time you've asked me
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: what should happened with blind Scott. It's been a long
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: time coming that you kick a dance off. There im
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: a banning from the show.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Dude, all right, uh so, so Syvie, my counsel. I
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: just had counsel. There's a gentleman named Jed who fled Sophie.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: Who has I just.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Said, Sophie, I understand, I understand.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, But but Jed said blind Scott. So blind Scott.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: I would kick blind Scott off the show. This is
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: the alternative doing a six line salote for blind Scott.
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: Now blind Scott, not cat sliding the show the mental
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: all right, you.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Know, yes, well what do you know? What do you know?
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: It actually makes a lot of sense if this was
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the case. The more you know, if Sophie.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Is you know, another sign, the more the more you know,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: I might explain the enhancements.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: You know, I got you. All right, Sophie, you're back
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: on the ear. Hello, Sophie.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so this is the alternative to blind Scott. You know,
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: I don't want to say anything really spicy on the air,
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: but blind Scott's not coming back on the show ever again,
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: if if they can help it. But when blind Scott's
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: on the show, Sophie is really what most listeners.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: All right, so let's do some some betting here. Let's
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: give it how long before Blind Scott's back on the show.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Let's see here.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Say today is March eighteenth. I will say that Blind
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Scott will be back. Bye, and I'm going to I'm
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: not gonna go crazy because you know this could last
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: a little while. I'm gonna say that Blind Scott will
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: be back March nineteenth. What about what about you, Lorena?
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't see Sophie holding him off very long.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I'm kind of on your side.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: He'll be back by Friday. He'll be like a switch
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden like yeah, because those
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: personalities they fight each other. They want to be, you know,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: in front.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: And but like the blind Scott character, that character a
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: big b the blind Scott character, so that character will
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: beat up the character of Sophie Coopy went in on this.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Cool.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say April April, Yeah, what day in April?
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: April third? The start of April. Okay, all right.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Hello Sophie, back, you're back on the here. Hello, Sophie,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: were just having a conversation about blind Scott.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: Well, so Sophie's here. Would like to stand in the
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: air for the rest of the night to answer questions,
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: but Sophie is here to protect the blind Scott system
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: from failing completely and never being on the radio ever again.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: So Sophie came out based on the award ceremony that
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: happened Blind Scott downward spiral. Blind Scott was trying to
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: check himself into a hospital. Hospitals won't take blind Scott
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: because blind Scott has severe mental illness and they've had
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: blind Scott there before and he manipulates the whole hospital hurts,
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: the system, drives up Medicare costs. They don't want anything
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: to do with Blindscott. So Sophie's here now, Sophie goes
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: by any pronouns you want, feel free to just let them.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Flyp okay, all right, Well back to Jed who fled. Jed, Well,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: what a call. That was nice to.

• 30:07
  Speaker 6: That's study working to get tobacco, dude. You don't want
• 30:09

• 30:11
  Speaker 6: at the first time that anyone acknowledges his name, Sophie,
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: it will be a long time. Like if you hear
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: the crackling, gets his pants spontaneously combusted, because.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: He will not get off.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: He'll stay on the hold.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: He will not even get off hold.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: Her transition to bline Scott that pulled the show's over
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: all right, hold.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: On seck is that, Sophie.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Is there a chance that you morphed back into blind
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Scott before the show's over, Sophie.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: Well, one thing that you don't understand about Sophie is
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: blind Scott was never a liberal, or Sophie was never
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: a liberal. Blind Scott and Sophie can get swatted. The
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: Boston police know Sophie and blind Scott. People swat them
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: all the time. It's no big deal.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Bike, Well, I'm talking about the bedroom when you took us.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: There's something else there. I think the term they mean
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: something else. Say, well, the cap is crap. We more evidence.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: The cap is crap. The Miami Dolphins, all those pesky
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Miami dolphins. So they got rid of Jalen Waddle and
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: to Ramsey they're paying with the Wattle trade. There's some
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: money involved in it from the Dolphins side of things.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey Also, you do the math on this and
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: you add everything up there. Here's another fun fact. This
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: is a bonus fun fact, by the way, bonus fun fact.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Fun fact.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: The Miami Dolphins are paying more for players to not
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: play for them one hundred and seventy five million than
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: the Marlins are for their payroll the last two years combined. Yes,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins, that's a football team, the rain and
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: they're paying one hundred and seventy five million for players
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: who are no longer on the team. That is more
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: than the Marlins combined payroll the last two years. Wow,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: that's my fun fact, right. And the cap is crap
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: because if the cap was real, the Dolphins would have
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: to play with like seven on eleven. It'd be seven
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: eleven football. They'd have seven, the other team would have eleven.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: So that's how that works. But the cap is crap.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: The Dolphins will have a full roster. They just won't
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: be paying top dollar for the players they have on
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: the roster, but they will have a full allotment of players.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: They'll have the same number of players that the teams
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: that manage the cap the right way have. And this
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: idea that you were in salary cap jail and you
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: can never get out of it. The Denver Broncos were
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: in salary cap jail. You all told me that when
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: they traded for Russell Wilson, then got rid of Russell Wilson,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: they gave him the contract. They were in salary cap jail,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: and they were just in the AFC Championship game.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: So the cap is crap. The cap is crap. It
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: is the Ben Malis show. Straight ahead, we have the
• 32:41

  Speaker 2: That would be friend of the show Scott Podson Nick

  Speaker 2: oh five.

  Speaker 1: It's Mallard. How about that?
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: To the third degree?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: This is one big Ben gets grail coop a loop.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Jerry Jones spoke to the media and said, if the
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Cowboys had played one lick of defense last year, they
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: would have had themselves a real playoff run.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's the case? Man?
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a bold Is that the take of the day?
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: The bold take of the day by Jerry Jones? So
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Jerry Jones got in front of a microphone and said,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: if the Cowboys, who had the thirtieth ranked defense in
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: the NFL, had played a little bit better.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: They would have been a real playoff team.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Well no, please, uh, that's nonsense, poppy cock, poppycock by
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Jerry Jones. But Jerry's good at getting headlines here. He
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: is good at getting head of as. The Cowboys have
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: more than just defensive problems. They have all kinds of issues,
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: popcorn problems.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: That we'd like to say.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Next, defensive fact, Darius Slay said over the weekend that
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: he would only accept a call from the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Then on Monday, he announced his retirement after thirteen seasons.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Benisleigh a Hall of Famer.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: It would be easy in the past to say Darius Lay,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: there's no way Darius Slay is a Hall of Famer
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: because the standard is this, But recently, Coop, the standard's
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: been completely obliterated on what is a Hall of Famer
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: and was not a Hall of Famer. The fact that
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: he was only a one time All Pro would indicate
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: not a Hall of Famer. He does not reach the
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: threshold to be a Hall of Famer, and it's not
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: even close.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: You never know anymore, though, like I.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Was, in no way, he was a good player, not
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: a great player.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Next, following a win on what was supposed to be
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: a Magic City Night in Atlanta.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's so sad September.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: But the Atlanta Hawks did come away with a win,
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: and they are the hottest team in the league with
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: ten wins in a row.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Ben, do you think this Atlanta team can make a run?
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: You know, Coop.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: What I always like to say is they're gonna make
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: some noise. They're gonna make some noise, Coop. The East
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: is relatively wide open. There's like, like, the Knicks are good,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: the Celtics are going. I mean, there's a couple of
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: teams at the top. You say, okay, those are pretty
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: good teams, and yet they don't look invincible to me.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: They don't like teams like, oh my god, we're screwed
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: if we have to play, you know, team the Celtics are,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: I would say, are the top team, but there are
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Knights and the Celtics.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: That they look like mere mortals and all that. However,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: the thing about the Hawks, They've.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Got all these wins, and then you look a little closer, Coop,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: and you're like, well, a lot of those are against Brooklyn, Washington,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Portland's in There's not a lot of impressive wins in
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: that stretch. So you wonder how legitimate that stretch is
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: for the Atlantaics. They're winning games, but all these teams
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: are not trying to win, and who they're playing there,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: it is Mallardoly third degree.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: How did we do? You passed the editions?
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: They win?
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: Put it on the bar.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: That's a Hawk Harrelson salute.
