  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: From the Bay Area, we have wide receiver drama-o-rama, a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: developing story. We continue our in-depth team coverage. And it
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: sounds much more dramatic than it is. Brandon Ayuk. Yeah,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I'm barely old enough to remember when he was an
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: NFL player. Well, he has officially applied to be allowed
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: back in. He wants reinstatement. into the cartel of football.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: And all plans in place, in place, for Brandon Iook
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to report to the 49ers electrical substation on Friday. That
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: according to the newly hired agent, Drew Rosenhaus, the super agent. Now, currently,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Brandon Iook is on the naughty list. He's on the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: reserve left squad list. And he's plotting, plotting to force...
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: his way onto another NFL team. So if you've not
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: heard the latest on this, perhaps not, Kyle Shanahan, the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: expert driver, Kyle Shanahan, says that he is mentally moved
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: on from Brandon Ike. In fact, just to prove that
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not making this up, here is the 49ers coach
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: giving his thoughts on the situation.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Take a listen.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I can't clarify that.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know what clarify means. I'm trying to... Or
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Sports Talk Radio? Yeah, Sports Radio.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: There's no absolutes in life.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: There are other teams. Sports Radio, that's what we're doing.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Sports Talk. Good Sports Radio.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: It's a long question, sir. Hurry up.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Chop, chop.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Quick question, please. All right, he said no. Couldn't even
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: hear the question. My God. Do I have to teach?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Questions are supposed to be quick. The longer the question,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you give people time to come up with an answer.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: My God. All right. Well, anyway, Shanahan said he's moved on.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: You could hear some of that. And he has not
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: ruled out a reunion. The relationship, obviously, rather toxic. As
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk said, let me ghost you. I don't want
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to talk to you anymore. That's it. Generally, people do
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: not like being ghosted. All right, so that is a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. How
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: should the 49ers here, how should the 49ers handle Brandon
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Ayuk and his ploy to return in cahoots with Drew Rosenhaus?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So I've got State Farm, Dogma, and we also have
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Blue Ribbon Panel. We'll combine all of these things together,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and we are going to bang our head against the walls,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: what we're going to do. So the answer to this question,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: how should the 49ers handle Brandon Iook's ploy to return,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: this is an easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy situation. Just contact the Vatican.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: The Pope's a U.S. guy, right? Chicago guy, not a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: San Francisco guy. But contact the Vatican, and it's a
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: roster transaction. It's called an excommunication. So have an excommunication proceeding.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Brandon Iok has rediscovered his love of football at precisely
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the moment, the word on the street is, his financial situation,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: his bank accounts have developed a hamstring injury. Now, there's
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a difference between betting on yourself and setting fire to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: your own career. Yet, here we are.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Here we are.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: So this is the great resurrection moment. They're hoping this
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: is the greatest resurrection since Lazarus, except Lazarus did not
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: have to hire Drew Rosenhaus to negotiate a return. I
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: don't remember reading about Lazarus hiring Drew Rosenhaus. Now, the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: 49ers already got the State Farm discount double check, saving
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: $ 27 million. And now Brandon Ioke wants the Jake from
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: State Farm triple check. He's not happy with the double check.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: He said, well, wait a minute. Let me get some
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of my money back. Sorry, but Brandon Ioke is hereby
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: banished from the Church of Shanahan, it would appear. The 49ers,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: as we pointed out, should excommunicate him. They can sprinkle
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: some holy water on the contract. And declare the building
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: free of evil spirits. And move on. Hocus Pocus. Send
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: him a lovely fruit basket. Brandon Ioke, enjoy the fruit basket.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: There's some good strawberries in there. Enjoy those. And pineapple.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: And thank him for his service. He said thank you
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: for being a loser the last couple years. And then
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: make sure the security team there has the photograph of
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Brandon Ioke. And then that's it. Now, page two. Keeping
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the theme of the hour going. Keeping the theme of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the hour going here. So if John Lynch, the general manager,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: does cut Brandon Iook before he even gets a chance
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to return to the 49ers facility on Friday, then things
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: get cranked up. The trade deadline is next week. And
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: he would be free in a couple of days to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: roam around the NFL, assuming the league expedites his return.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So then what? Well, that brings us to another question.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Why would any NFL team trust the soon-to-be former 49er whiteout,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk, after his two-year sabbatical, otherwise known as a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: disappearing act, from the 49ers? Well, the answer is rather simple.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: clear if you've paid any attention to the industrial complex
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of professional sports over the years then chances are you
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: are familiar with the fact that the nfl in many
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: ways is like wall street except they wear shoulder pads
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and brandon ioke is what's known as a distressed asset
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: he is a distressed asset and those always attract those
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: distressed assets always attract bargain hunters the weasels on wall
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: street buy the dip buy the dip well this is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: quite the dip It's becoming a penny stock. And the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: other thing is, obviously, the math isn't in his favor.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He doesn't need 32 teams to believe in him. All
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: he needs is one team, one desperate general manager with
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a short memory, and welcome to the NFL's greater fool theory,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: or in this case, the greatest fool theory, right? The
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: 49ers were the original fools. They knew this guy was
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a bit of a polarizing cat. They still gave him
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the contract. And now they're searching for an even bigger
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: jackass to take Brandon Ayuk off their hands if they
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: do end up trading him. Otherwise, somebody's going to have
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to sign him. But it's the ultimate scratch and dent special.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: The ultimate scratch and dent special. The packaging is damaged.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: The warranty is void. And somebody, you know, there's somebody
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: out there that still thinks the product works.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Because the NFL executives have selective amnesia. You show them
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: a couple of seasons of good tape, and suddenly the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: last two years become just some kind of clerical error.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: That's all it was. It was just a little paperwork snafu.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: They follow the dogma. The dogma of the NFL, never
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: give up on talent. Besides, if NFL executives stopped signing
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: guys that had a lot of baggage, half the league
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: would be working at Home Depot at this particular point.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And the team that makes the most sense... The L.A.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Rams as the hypothetical landing spot as Devontae Adams out,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: likely for the rest of the year. The Rams are
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: trying to claim he'll come back. There's other people out
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: there saying, not so fast, my friend. So the Rams
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: don't have a lot at the wide receiver position. They're desperate.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: And Brandon Ayuk would become the boogeyman as the number
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: two wide receiver behind Puka Nakua. Number two. Go out
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to the. Seattle also needs some help, and these teams
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: are all like, well, yeah, that guy was a knucklehead
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: for you, but with us, he'll be much better. You
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: were the problem, not him.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And if he went to the Rams, though, it would
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: be like the football equivalent of your ex-wife marrying your
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: next-door neighbor just to ruin your barbecue, or in this case,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's barbecue. All right, last word. We go to
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Green Bay, the frozen tundra. Not frozen yet. Where Packers
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: running back Josh Jacobs is pushing back. Push it back now.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Push it back against the abuse allegations. There were some
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: more allegations last week or so. And he spoke with
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the media insisting that much of what's being said about
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: him is completely bogus. It's false information. I'm surprised he
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: said that. I thought he would come out and say, oh, yeah,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: everything that's been said about me, 100% true. I'm a dirtbag.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: That's it. He didn't say that, though. Jacobs had previously
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges involving a former girlfriend.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And he got dinged. Not one, not two, not three,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: not four, not five, but six games on the commissioner's
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: naughty list. Six games he was out. And that's it.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Get out of here. for those six games so he
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: missed those and now here we are his attorneys disputing
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the newest accusers which are from years ago the nfl
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the keystone cops continue to investigate that goes on and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: on and on now meanwhile Speculation about Green Bay going
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: to the market and trying to buy a running back
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: at the trade deadline, namely Jonathan Taylor, that's bouncing around
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the echo chamber because of the uncertainty around Josh Jacobs.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Now the question, where are you at on Josh Jacobs'
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: latest statement on his legal brouhaha out of Green Bay?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: So where are you at on this? So you don't
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: have to believe... Every allegation. How would I know? I
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: don't know if these people are speaking the truth or not.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: You can accuse anyone of anything. It doesn't mean that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you're accurate. So it's just an accusation. So I don't
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: know whether to believe it or not, because I don't
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: know if it's true or not. I am able to recognize, though,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: that Josh Jacobs has the public relations instinct of a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: raccoon trapped inside a Waffle House kitchen. All right. The
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: scrutiny is. That he's facing and Jacobs is trying to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: put out what is a public relations wildfire with a
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: super soaker, which would be fine. Wouldn't be a problem
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: if the super soaker wasn't filled with unleaded gasoline. That
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: appears to be a problem. Case in point. The now
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: infamous touchdown celebration, the handcuff celebration, which was a masterpiece
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: by Josh Jacobs in capital S stupidity. You could not
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: script a more tone deaf moment if you hired a
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: blue ribbon panel of professional idiots. they would not be
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: able to come up with anything quite like what Josh
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Jacobs did. In fact, it was so stupid, you thought
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: it was satire. You thought it might be, like I
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: saw the clip online, well, maybe this is AI. Back
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: in the old days, there was a script, there used
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to be a show that used to be popular called
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live. I don't know if it's still on anymore.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: But people used to say, well, that's something you'd see
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: on Saturday Night Live. But he actually did it. He
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: did a mock touchdown celebration of handcuffs. And then, of course,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: lied about it after the game. And it's just outstanding.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: It's just that it's like if you got audited by
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the IRS and you celebrated by pretending to shred tax returns.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: An obtuse display from Josh. He's through some goodwill here.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: There's some goodwill he's gone through. Now, Green Bay management.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: is conducting the oldest arithmetic in professional sports. Is the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: juice worth the public relations squeeze? Meaning, ergo, if you're
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Green Bay, are you better off keeping Josh Jacobs and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: seeing how this goes? And I know we've got a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: lot of Packer owners that love this show. I don't
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: know that we can say it any other way than that.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: A bunch of people that own the Green Bay Packers
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: over the years have been fans of the show. And
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: so you make the call. You own the Green Bay Packers.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Do you hold on to Josh Jacobs? Do you release
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, but then you have to trade for a
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: running back? What do you do? What do you do?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I would just trade for some. Running backs are easy
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to get. Just make a deal. The trade deadline's coming
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: up in a few days. Just make a deal. That's it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: But in an NFL where the discipline ranges from TSA
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: pre-check to full-body cavity searches, the Green Bay Packers, the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: executives there, are doing basic math. How many How many
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: big runs does Josh Jacobs have left? And does that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: outweigh the quagmire of the situation? Because let's say the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: NFL investigates and finds out that there's nothing going on here.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: with these latest accusations. Okay, fine. Two days from now,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: there's another crop of women that pop up and say, hey,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: what about me? What about me?
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: get anywhere else.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: on how football really works.
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: Continuity is very important but what happens when you get
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: them then they want to hire them and then you
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself but
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: you have to replace.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: Them Because once you understand what's going on inside the
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: own the team. I never owned a team.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: or wherever you get your podcasts.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Our lead story from the Pacific Northwest. We're still waiting
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: for the 12s to check in, the frontrunners, guys like J.J.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and Renton and Nostradinus and Crying Craig and all the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: rest who have gone into hiding. I don't blame you.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I don't blame you the way things went the other night.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: But our lead is from the Seattle area where Sam Darnold.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Hang on! Sam Donald out, out for the Week 9
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: game against the division rival Cardinals, the Arizona Cardinals. Seattle
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: calling it a quad injury. Wink, wink, nod, nod. Suffered
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: against Chicago. That means back up Drew Locke. If he
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: is able to play, and I was reading the injury report,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and he is on the injury report, if he is
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: able to play, he will take over as he helped
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Seattle win a couple of games earlier However, there is
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory making the rounds, and that got my attention.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard about this or not.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Perhaps not. It does tie into something we talked about
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: in a previous episode of the show. There are some
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: factions that believe that Sam Darnold... is damaged but not
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: damaged goods enough to miss the game, meaning as a
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback in the NFL, you're supposed to play with
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: bumps and bruises and you have to keep going out
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: there and playing. That's the expectation, that he could battle
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: through and play. Instead, Coach Mike McDonald is being.
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: Accused of using the injury as a camouflage to cover
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: up the good old-fashioned soft benching of Sam Darnold.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: And that is a good jumping-off point. Let us discuss
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the question. We know Sam Darnold is out this week
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. They're claiming it's a quad injury. Is
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: this a medical decision disguised as a football decision or
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: a football decision disguised as a medical decision? So my observations,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I've got grade three players IHOP, and Vanishing Hitchhiker. And
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together, and we
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: are going to take your breath away. And we're going
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: to do that because we're going to punch you in
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the gut is what we're going to do. No, I'm kidding.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: All right. Number one.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Number one. All right.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: So as the good doctor of overnight talk radio, do
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: we not have the greatest callers? My God, what an
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: hour that was last hour. As the good doctor of
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: overnight talk radio, we went to the medical journal. We
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: studied the medical journal. If you look at page 37,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: page 37 of the medical journal, we are diagnosing Sam
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Darnold with a grade three case of clipboard itis. Clipboard
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: itis for Sam Darnold. Now, the smart money says the
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Seahawks are simply treating their fans like idiots. That's what
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: they're doing here. This is the oldest magic trick around.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: The rabbit out of the hat, but in the NFL lexicon,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: when the coach doesn't want to make an unpopular announcement,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to shame someone, they use the trainer as
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the bad guy, as the fall guy. Trucker Joe knows
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: about that. Mike McDonald does not have the stomach to be... Bench,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl winning... How embarrassing is this? Sam Darnold
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: proving with every game what a fluke that was. One
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: of the most outrageous championships in the history of the NFL.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. Sam... This is the real Sam Darnold. This
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: is it. But you don't want to embarrass him because
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: he won a little Super Bowl thing, that hunk of metal.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: And so they are leaning into this soft tissue thing.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: A quad injury... We went and we referenced all our
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: research we went back and looked at some of the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: stuff we could kind of dig around soft tissue injuries
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the quad injury is a direct relative of the lower
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: back injury which is very popular in And the hammy tightness. Oh,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: my hammy. It's going to go whammy. That's what's going
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: on with Kyler, Alligator Arms Murray in Minnesota. This is
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Seattle's Sam Darnold, though, with a quad injury. Football's version
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: of calling in sick on a Monday morning after a
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: three-day bender. He's like, oh, yeah, I got my quad thing. Oh, yeah.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: All right, so Darnold's numbers have completely cratered. He is
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the 29th quarterback in the NFL, according to the statistics.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: He is ranked worse than Jacoby Brissett, who was just
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: demoted in Arizona to third string status and is in
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the process of being relocated to hang out with Sports
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: with Coleman, our friend in Baltimore. Then you've got Malik Willis.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: who stinks in Miami, and that's it. That's all. Those
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: are the only quarterbacks that are– well, not the only ones,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: but they're the ones that are ahead of him that
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: you're like, whoa, my God, Sam Darnold is behind those guys.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: There's a couple players behind Sam Darnold, but Willis and Brissette,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: that really gets your attention. Nevertheless, we believe what's going
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: on here is Sam Darnold gets to use the diplomatic
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: passport for immunity– At least from public shame.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Shame.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Shame. Because he got that little Lombardi thing. And somewhere there,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke is like, I'm going to be able to play.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: It's going to be okay. And I'll make sure to
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: send the Seahawks medical staff and the coaching staff a
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: massive edible arrangements basket. And I'm going to get out
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: there and get it done. And if not, the Seattle
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: football team will be on to their third string quarterback.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: All right, page two. To Houston. Houston, we have a problem.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Outrageous commentary from Texans pass rusher Will Anderson Jr. What? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Will Anderson Jr. Raising some eyebrows. He declared that the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Chargers quarterback, Justin Herbert, is playing out of his mind. Now,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: we actually have the audio on this, I believe. I
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: hope we do. I don't know if we do or not.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I think we do. Anyway, here is, I believe, Will
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Anderson Jr. Listen to this commentary about the Chargers quarterback,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. Quiet.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Okay. He's still a really great quarterback.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't play sound here.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: You talk about a big guy who has a big
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: arm that can run around, that can throw the ball deep.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: makes a lot of plays with his legs. He's still,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: you know, a very respectable player in this league, and
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: we have a ton of respect for them. As far
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: as scheme, you know, we're going to probably see a
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: lot of bounce. You know, McDonald, he's went against his
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: defense a lot of times, coached against his defenses at
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: San Fran, I believe. So we know what to expect
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: a little bit. But Herbert, man, he's playing out of
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: his mind. They have a really great solid O-line as well,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: and some really good running backs that can get downhill,
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: that can hit the perimeter. So it's going to be
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: a good challenge for us.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, real good challenge. Anderson, as you heard, playing out
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: of his mind. He was talking about Justin Herbert there,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: insisting that Herbert remains an elite talent and really great
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: quarterback in this league. Oh, my God. So Houston does
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: play L.A. this weekend, as we mentioned. So the question,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: how would you categorize Texans defensive star Will Anderson Jr.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: praising Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert? All right, so part of
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: me wants to give Will Anderson a pass because he's
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: busy on Sunday. He's not watching the Chargers because the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Texans play on Sunday, so he's not watching the L.A. Chargers.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: But Will Anderson is giving Justin Herbert a verbal massage
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: with a complimentary hot stone treatment is what he's doing.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: This is a textbook case of what we called back
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: in the day Lou Holt syndrome, this ancient football ritual.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: of turning your suck bag opponent into a recreation of
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the 1985 Chicago Bears before kickoff. Kill them with kindness.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Kill them with kindness. Smother them with compliments. Give them
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: so much sugar that they develop diabetes before the opening whistle. Now,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the Chargers are 0-7. They are at the very bottom.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: They are dead last in scoring in the NFL. They're
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: averaging 14 points a game. This is junior varsity football.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: And yet, Will Anderson came out there and claimed that
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is playing out of his mind. Apparently, we're
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: grading quarterbacks on a curve. So generous. How generous is it?
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: It is so generous, it's become a complete circle. If
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: that's playing out of your mind, what is Josh Allen
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: doing in Buffalo? performing open heart surgery with one hand
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: and solving nuclear fusion with the other hand. That's what
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: he's doing. Everybody's elite. Everybody's so special. And nobody gets
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: judged on their performance. That's it. That's classic Lou Holtz syndrome.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Just once, I would like a player to admit that
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the other guy stinks. That guy's a bum. That guy's
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a bum. Instead, we get Will Anderson, who's pouring so
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: much syrup on the Justin Herbert pancakes that the people
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: over at IHOP are considering legal action. There's going to
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: be a supply chain shortage of syrup. All right, now
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: final point. To Philadelphia we go. The pipeline of quarterbacks.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: The changing of the guard. As the Eagles, E-A-G-L-E-S, suck, suck, suck.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: The Eagles have decided to bench Tanner McKee, the pride
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: of Irvine, California. Tanner McKee being benched for backup Joe
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Milton III. Not to be confused with Joe Milton II
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: or Joe Milton I. That'll be against the gigantes of football,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the Giants. That's after the Philadelphia football team has now
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: lost six straight games. Six straight games. So you've got
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Coach Nick Sirianni insisting back on Monday that McKee was
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: his guy. I stand by my guy. That was the
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: little weasel. Yeah, little weasel Nick Sirianni. And then 48
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: hours later, psych, he did the old okey-doke and decides
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: to go to Joe Milton, the backup quarterback. McKee went
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: 0-3 as a starter. He had just two touchdown passes
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: and a couple of interceptions. Managed 45 points in three games,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: which I'm told is not good. Milton was signed off
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys practice squad back in mid-October, and now he
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: is the man for the moment in the Delaware Valley.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: So the question, is Eagles quarterback Joe Milton getting a
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: legitimate opportunity to become an NFL starter, or is he
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: being set up to fail? You make the call. So
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: the way I approach this, I'm going for a bit
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: of a tangent here.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Macho Man, Nick Sirianni, has officially entered the throw spaghetti
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: at the wall phase of his Eagle coaching career. He's
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: got a big handful of those spaghetti noodles, and there's
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: a little marinara, and he's tossing it against the wall
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: to see what's going to stick. This is the Hollywood
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: casting call for Joe Milton. That's it. It's American pigskin idol.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: They might as well bring in Ryan Seacrest as the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: quarterback coach there and make some magic. The Eagles are
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: simply providing the stage. All right. You get to go
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: on the stage. The lighting and the complimentary humiliation. For
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: several years, we have been hearing. about Joe Milton, who's
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: going to go out there and try to impress 31
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: other teams. Joe Milton, the legend of this guy, it's
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: an urban legend. He's like the vanishing hitchhiker of the NFL.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Everyone has heard stories about Joe Milton. Very few have
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: actually seen him play in the NFL. He played a
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: lot in college football, but the bazooka Joe legend has
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: attracted a cult following. It's the story, Bazooka Joe, Joe Milton,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: his arm is a campfire story told by NFL fans, coaches,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and scouts. They say that he can throw a football
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: over them mountains, right over them mountains out there. And
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Milton has an arm like a rocket launcher. Of course,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the problem is that doesn't really matter. I'd much rather
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: have a very accurate passer between the line of scrimmage
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: or behind the line of scrimmage and, say, eight yards
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: past the line of scrimmage. That is a much more
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: valuable skill than throwing Hail Mary passes and just cranking
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: up Bazooka Joe and chucking the ball down the field.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: That is not nearly as important as the ability to
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: complete the basic pass, but you already knew that. And
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: so the question is, can he hit a target that
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: is not 45 yards down the field. Joe Milton is
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the football equivalent of a monster truck with no steering wheel.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: What good is that you watch him throw a football
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the legend on the internet is this guy throws the
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: ball 70 75 yards and you think my god this
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: guy's unbelievable those dopes like danny in nashville who is
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: a fan of Tennessee. Milton spent some time at Tennessee.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh, my God, Joe Milton. So you watch
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: him throw the ball. You're like, well, this guy's unbelievable.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: And then you ask him to complete a seven yard slant.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: And suddenly you're negotiating with the laws of physics. So
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: the iconic baseball movie Major League, where. Serrano was up there,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: and they were throwing fastballs, and he was hitting the
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: ball a million miles. Throw him some curveballs, throw him
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: some breaking balls. Swing and miss, swing and miss, swing
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: and miss, swing and miss, swing and miss. Jumping through hoops.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Swinging mass, swinging mass, swinging mass, swinging mass.
• 30:31

• 30:45
  Speaker 1: It's time now for.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Step back.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny. All right, let's do it. Benny
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: versus the Penny. Week 9 kicks off on a Thursday
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: night in Maryland. The Jaguars, the road team, taking on Baltimore.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: DraftKings has this game at minus 10 in favor of
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the road team, the Jaguars. That is a massive point
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: spread for the road team. It's on Amazon, Al Michaels,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Kirk Curbstreet, and Peter the Dog. Peter Herbstreit, the dog,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: will be there. Should rain at some point tonight in Baltimore.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Temperatures in the 60s for this particular game. And I
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: tried my darndest to come up with a reason to
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: take Baltimore. I'm a points whore. I love taking points.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Ten points is a huge amount of points in an
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: NFL game. So I crunched all the numbers. I looked
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: at every possible scenario. And I'm taking Baltimore. Jacksonville. I'm
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: laying the... I would either bet on Jacksonville or not
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: bet this game. We bet every game on Benny versus
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the Penny. So I'll lay the 10 points. If I lose,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I'm fine losing. I just can't bet on Joe Fagnano
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: and the Ravens, the undrafted rookie. This is a huge mismatch.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence facing a Baltimore team that is lacking their quarterback.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: The Ravens managed 10 points in their loss to Baltimore.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Their offense is on life support. And you look around here,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Baltimore's also been a betting disaster. They're 2-6 against the spread,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: 0-3 against the spread at home. Jacksonville, 4-3 against the spread,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: but they're an NFL best, 10-4 as a favorite. going
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: back to 2025. The Jags defensively have been pretty good
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: at stopping the run, so if you neutralize Derrick Henry,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: you figure you're in pretty good shape. The only thing
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: that'll kill Jacksonville is turnovers, and Trevor Lawrence does have
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: that bug from time to time. Jacksonville leads the NFL, though,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: in turnover differential. So far this season, again, every key indicator,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: everything says take Jacksonville, lay the points. That's the way
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: to do it. And there's really not much else to
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: think about in this game. You know, Ravens, if you
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: get some turnovers and some special teams plays, they can
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: hang around for a while. This is a really good
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: matchup for Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville. Koopa Loop is representing
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the penny. And who does the penny like in this game?
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Ben, we have a disagreement. The penny is going with
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: the Ravens.
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Good luck to the penny. Godspeed. Jacksonville should win this
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: game at minimum 27 to 10. It should be worse
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: than that. Minimum 27 to 10. Jags will win that
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: game tonight. There it is. Benny versus the pennies.

  Speaker 1: he's reading. He's at the dais, the cupola.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: All right, Ben, we're going to start off with a
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: question from Donkey Sausage.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Hi, Donkey.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: He wants to know, what was your favorite game at
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: the arcade?
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, man, I love the arcade. The whole arcade experience.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad I'm an old fart and I grew
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: up at the arcade. My mom would drop me off
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: at the mall. We'd go to the arcade. There was
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: an Orange Julius place right next to it. So we
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: get these orange. Oh, they're so good. I love the
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Tron game. I remember playing that for hours. That was
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: such a great freaking game. I love that. I would
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: say of all the games in the arcade, that was
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: the one I played more than any. And rather than
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Bogart at the time, I'll just leave it at that.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: What about you, Lorena? Any video games, arcade games? You're
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: too young for that.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: I like Pac-Man.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, Pac-Man? Not bad. Not bad. Coop? Uh.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: It's pretty close. It's like 1A and 1B with the
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: Simpsons arcade game.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: And the Ninja Turtles arcade game. I'm also a big
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: fan of pinball machines. Yeah, those are cool. I'll get
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: stuck there for a while.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nothing wrong with pinball machines. But like an arcade,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: like back in the day, before everyone's got an arcade
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: on their phone or whatever, but back then it was like,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Awesome, man. They were like the boss.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I remember it was always big when they'd change out
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: some of the machines. It's like, oh, man, they got
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: a new game in here. What's going on? Anyway, what's next?
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: What do we got?
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: All right, Andy in Lino Lakes.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Hi, Andy. That's in Minnesota.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: He would like to know, do you guys use a
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: wash rag or a loofah, or do you just raw
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: dog it with a bar of soap?
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: So I am team loofah. That's very emasculating, but I
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: do enjoy a nice loofah. Once you cross over to loofah,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: you don't go back. I've heard it's disgusting and there's
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of chemical, not chemicals, but a lot of
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: bacteria on the loofah. I don't care. I love my loofah.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I get extra clean with the loofah. So I'm team loofah.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: What about you, Lorena?
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: I have a couple of different things that I use,
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: but I usually use like, it's kind of like a
• 35:58
  Speaker 9: cloth type sponge that has a loofah on one side
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: and then the clothy sponge on the other side so
• 36:02
  Speaker 9: I can exfoliate and get soft at the same time.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Oh. Okay.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: When I was a kid, we used a washcloth. But now,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: as a grown-up, I'm loofah. What about you, Coop?
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: I agree with you, Ben. Once you go loofah, you
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: never go back.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. There were things when I was a
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: kid I thought I would never do. And as an adult,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I've now done them. Like the loofah thing. If you
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: had told me as a kid I'd be using a loofah,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I'd say you're crazy. The other thing is the spray
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: thing up your tuchus. You know, clean you. You know
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: that thing? That's the way to.
• 36:32

  Speaker 1: Oh, man, we've had a lot over the years. I'm

• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Nothing's really popping. I mean, we've had some good ones.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: We had, well, remember John Harbaugh, the John Harbaugh impersonation
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: years ago? That was pretty funny. I guess that's kind
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: of a celebrity. What about you, Lorena? Well, you haven't
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: been on the show that long. Any celebrity impersonations? Yeah,
• 37:25

• 37:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if it's recency bias, but that
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: one's the best one. And then the other one, I
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: don't know if it was like an impersonator or the
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: real thing, but when.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Donald Sterling called it?
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: Yes. Yes!
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God! What a night, Coop! We, in the middle,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: when Donald Sterling was getting... The Clippers were getting taken
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: away from Donald Sterling, we got a call from this
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: old guy... who said he was in like Palm Springs
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: or something like that, but he defended Donald Sterling and
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: sounded exactly like Donald Sterling. It was wild. And that's
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: such an old guy move, right?
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Coop.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Let me call the local radio station, defend myself. They
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: won't know it's me. I forgot about that. That was
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: what a night. That was quite the night.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: All right.

• 38:19
  Speaker 4: did you have a lunchbox when you were in elementary school?
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, did I have a lunchbox? What kind of question
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: is that, Alf? I had Star Wars. I had Indiana Jones.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I would throw those things around. I loved Lunchbox.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Were your Lunchboxes metal? Yes, metal.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I'm old, man. They're old, dude. Lorena, Lunchbox girl?
• 38:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I started out with a plastic one that had
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: the little mermaid on it, but then I upgraded to
• 38:43
  Speaker 9: one of the softer ones that has the cooling lining
• 38:46
  Speaker 9: in it.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Dude, I would throw those Lunchboxes. My mom would make
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: my tuna fish sandwich. I would chuck those against the wall.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: And then they smell like tunas. Well, that's a problem.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't eat tuna anymore. What about you,
