• 2:21
  Speaker 1: All right, So our lead this hour, we're gonna start
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: with baseball and the football Week seven of the NFL,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we'll mix that in as well. We're gonna start with
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the baseball playoffs, the America League Championship Series. Oh God
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: one win see lead one wins Sunday night to get
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it done. And while the NFL played from morning tonight
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: all day. There was just one Island game in Major
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: League Baseball. This was at one slot left in the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: World Series and Seattle visiting the four to one six
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: area code and opportunity to punch their ticket to the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Fall Classic and a date with the Doyers, And that
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: was what was on the line. There is win. You
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: had two chances to win one game. But if you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: win the first game, you know if we worry about
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the second game. And so they sent out Logan Gilbert.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Seattle did to the man, all right, Logan Gilbert, just
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: give us a solid out and give us a chance
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to win the game. Give us an opportunity to win
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the game. And the opposition there for the Blue Jays,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: they were with Trey you Savage, and how did that go? Well?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Vladdie Guerrero was laughing and smiling and having a grand
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: time as he was playing the role of spoiler. And
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: now he's set himself up. He had a home run
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: there if you didn't see it, sixth home run of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the postseason. Remember, I'm alding to remember those first couple
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of games when the Blue Jays were terrible against the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Mariners and we were what's going on? What's going on?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: With Ladimirguerre. Well he's back, so he goes and hits
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: his sixth home run. The rookie Treyy Savage struck out
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: seven in five and two thirds innings. I've told that's good.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: The Blue jayss eight games. How cool is this game seven?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: We got a game seven. It's on Monday night. There
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: they beat the Mariners six to two. They'll finally have
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a better story is in the losing locker room, the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Seattle side of things, as the Mariners end up getting
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: waylaid by the Blue Jays in this game. They were
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: never had the lead, they never didn't play well. It
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: was sloppy all over the place. So let us discuss
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the question. Though it's on the mound. The jumping off
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: point is on the mound. You had a rookie for
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Toronto who went out there and he wasn't great, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: was better than the guy that the Mariners started. So
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: how do you explain how bad bad to the bone
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert was for the Mariners with a chance to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: push Seattle to the World Series. So on this one,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I've got boombox, skinny jeans, and Carnival Cruise and we
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: going to have some delicious chocolate cookies, all right, So
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a let's just call it what it is. Logan Gilbert
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: went out to the mound with the weight of legends
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: like Alvin Davis and Jim Presley and Jay Butter and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: all these other old Mariners. He went out there on
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the biggest stage of his life. He had pitched well
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs prior to the league championship series, right,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: we saw him have some big starts against the big
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: appearances against the Detroit Tigers. And the lights got very
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: bright there and the Blue Jays cranked the volume up
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to eleven. And how did that go? The pitcher there
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: melted like a snow cone in July. It did not
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: go very well. And all the success that he had
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: against the old English d and fizzled fast in this game.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: You saw you know what I'm talking about. I was
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: on FS one here. The box score was bad. If
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you didn't watch the game, Oh watch football, and so
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I don't watch baseball. I shut up. So the box
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: score was bad. However, it felt much worse watching Logan
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and Gilbert pitch, like I'm surprised it wasn't it was
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: more lopsided than it was the way he pitched. It
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: was a parade of base runners. Gilbert at this point
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: needed someone from Baywatch to come, and he needed a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: lifeguard to help Monte was drowning on the mountain. Now, meanwhile,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays mentioned they sent the rookie out, Trey
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Y Savage, who in many ways was like houdin the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: getting out of jams here for the Toronto baseball team.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And Gilbert on the other side, even though he had
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: more experience, he's the one that needed a diaper change,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and he wasn't fooling anybody, and he couldn't work his
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: way out of issues. And the four seamer was flat,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: as the guys like to say, and the slider no
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: bite you need? Where's the bite? There is no bite
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: on the slider. And so the flop sweat was pouring
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: down was not going well. In fact, you could have
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: filled a kiddie pool with the amount of choke that
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: was coming off Gilbert in this particular start against Toronto.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And so he gets to wear the Lettermans jacket. Congratulations
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: on this. You get the big l which is stitched
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: on to the Lettermans jacket. Loser and it was the theme.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: If there was a song for this start for Logan Gilbert,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: number thirty six in your program, but number zero in
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: your Mariner heard, that would be Bruce Springsteen getting out
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the boombox there and cranking up the blinded by the light,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the light of the world series for Seattle was on
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the line. And now now you screwed this up. And
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: so now we have a game seven and two starts
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: for Logan Gilbert in the American League Championship Series, and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the results were mixed. His ERI was not a seven
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: point seven to one earn run average for Logan Gilbert
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: in the American League Championship Series. That is bulletin board
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: worthy in Seattle, not in a good way. That is
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: tattoo worthy, the suck tattoo, Holy Canoli. So there you go.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Give up twelve hits in his two starts, eight runs,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: seven earned, I believe is the numbers on that. Now. Meanwhile,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: mention there's a game seven. Now it is down to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: one night only in the American League Championship Series. So
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the question is what are you most excited about in
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: anticipation of Game seven of the Alcs, the Jays and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the Mariners. The winner gets a chance to play the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Doyers in the Fall Classic. So this is game seven.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: That Game five is good, but Game seven is better
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: than the game five. Like Game five we had Tigers
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and Mariners played Game five when fifteen innings and all that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Game seven though I know, it is pure cinema, pure cinema.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna get here October baseball drama, o rama,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: all of that. The stakes, the al pennant at the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: end of the game on Monday night is e going
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to be the Mariners win the pennant, the Mariners win
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the pennant, or oh god, the Blue Jays are back
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in the World Series for the first time in like
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a gazillion years and all that stuff and a playdate.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: As we mentioned with shoe hail Tani and the Doyers
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty five World Series. It is interesting
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: note if Toronto wins Game one of the World Series
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: would be Friday night in Ontario. If the Mariners win
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Game one will be in Los Angeles with rush hour
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: traffic gridlock in LA on Friday night and rush hour.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Now here's what I love, get down to it. Here's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: what it makes wain right. Everything that has happened is prologue,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: everything that has taken place leading up to Game seven,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: like all if you watched all six games of this
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and the crazy start where the Mariners looked wonderful the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: first two games, the Blue Jays looked like they were
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: they were going on vacation, and everything that changed when
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: we flipped up to across the North American content there
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to Seattle. But the thing that's great is the it's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: one game. It's analytics go out the window in manyways
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: because it's it's game seven. It's not you don't have
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a large sample size. It's one game. That's it. The
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: scouting report says blah blah blah blah blah, but you
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: throw it in the trash. You can burn it, the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: whole thing. And this is a night where careers are
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: defined and the marketing campaign about ah, the legends are
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: born in October. Well, legends are born in October, but
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: they also die in October too, and you have to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: take a long time to recover from a stink bomb performance.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: For example, you've got Vladimir Guerrero Junior on one side,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and there was a chance he would have just played
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: out the year and gone into the market as a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: free agency, signed a forever contract with the Toronto Blue Jays,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: so he's locked in there. He hasn't gotten it done
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: in the pluffs. This year is getting it done and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: beat the Yankees up. But you look at an opportunity
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: to go to the World Series of the Blue Jays,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Holy Joe, Carter Batman have a chance to do that.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Cal Raley on the other side, this is uncharted territory.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Ken Griffy Junior and those great Mariner teams with a
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Rod and those guys back in the day, and they
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: never got here. So these guys are either going to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: be immortalized just by getting the World Series. And if
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: they win it, that's like a higher plane, that's like
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a higher level in all And if they do get
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: this done to win the Pennant, then you get that
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: glossy World Series montage you're included in and all that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna spend the next decades remember when they
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: won the Pennant. Oh man, this is a big deal.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: We want to and if you lose, oh man, holy crap.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: The whole building is going to be tight, which is great,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and we talk often about tight. Took a syndrome and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: who can overcome that? And this is a great opportunity.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Who will succumb to that situation? It's kind of like
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: tight took a syndrome. How to describe it. It's kind
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of like wearing skinny jeans and eating birthday meal and cake.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: You know, suddenly those skinny jeans a little tight, little
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: tight things a little tight there. And so that's where
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: we are. You know, the Xanax will be going out
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: there like buttered popcorn at a movie theater. Everyone's gonna
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: be on it at at Loggers heads with with just
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the moment. And I think it's great because somebody's gonna
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: choke epically and I will be here to document it. Now,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: will we get had a choke job like that pitcher
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: for the Phillies that gag that series away on a
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: two hopper back to the mount He chucked the ball
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: behind the catcher and that was it for the Philadelphia Phillies. Now,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: that would be extra special in a Game seven situation here,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: But again, the matchups don't matter, home field doesn't matter.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: There's no script at all that the breaking down launch
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: angles momentum, as John Smolts likes to say, all that
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter, all right, comes down to who doesn't soil
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: themselves in the moment in Game seven. So that's what
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: it's all about, that simple. And it's kind of like
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the players on the Mariners and Blue Jays. You think
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: of them like tea bags, and you're gonna find out
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: what they're made of when they hit the hot water.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: You know, not all tea bags are the same. There.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Ask Peyton Manning about that, now, Vladdie, he's gonna be
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the man or is he gonna be the stooge? We
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: will find out. And you got the big dumper on
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the other side about all the things that have been
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: said about his season, the most impressive playoff regular season combined,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: if you get to the World Series, because the other
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: players that have hit all these home runs did not
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: finish the job, and if cal Raley can finish the job,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: then okay. And so it's all hands on deck. Starters
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: will be coming out of the bullpen, you're gonna get that.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Closers will be in the sixth inning and we'll be there.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I'll be sitting down. I will watch the game for you.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: If you don't care about baseball, I will watch the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays and the Mariners, so you do not have
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: to all right, last word, we go to the NFL
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the game of the day in Denver and we witness
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: one of the most pathetic choke jobs in the history
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of pro football. It impossible happened because of absolute malfeasance
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: by the New York Giants, period stop, no real debate
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: about that. And my god, the Giants were up nineteen
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to nothing against the Broncos going to the fourth quarter,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: a Denver team that was just not their day. They
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: were behind the eight ball. Maybe they were using eight ball,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. They were just terrible. And somehow the Giants,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: because of their generosity, they managed to screw things up
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: so royally that they allowed the Denver Broncos to score
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: thirty three points in the final fifteen minutes and lost.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: The Giants did on a walk off field goal. How
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: is that even possible? That's a biblical choke job. They'll
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: be in the Bible. It's a King James Bible. It's
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: in there somewhere. That is believe. NFL teams. They had
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the stat NFL teams sixteen hundred and two straight games
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: when leading by eighteen or more points. They had won.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: So you know it's announcers always said, well, you never know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: this team could come back. No, ninety nine percent of
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the time, the team never comes back. This ninety nine
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: point nine percent of line doesn't happen. This time it happened,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and my god, Brian day Ball, let's discuss the question
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: who's most responsible the better story on the losing side,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: who's most responsible for Brian Dave Balls Giants doing the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: belly whopper and getting smoked in the fourth quarter by
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. So this was not a partial collapse.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: This was a full monty collapse, from soup to nuts,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: from A to z any other way you want to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: say it, and all three phases of suck, which is impressive, right.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: You add the special teams. The idiot kicker for the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Giants missed multiple, multiple extra points, so that's an f up.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: You've got the defense with sloppy tackling, just generally lazy
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: football by the Giants after playing really solid. I thought
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: for the maybe I was wrong, got the first three quarters,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I thought they looked pretty good. You've got the offense
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: with the rookie Jackson Dart, the new Messiah, the new Savior,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of the Giants, and Jackson Jackson Dark goes out there
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and stunk it up in the fourth quarter, had an
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: interception that helped fuel the comeback. Without that, Denver doesn't
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: have enough gusto to come back and win the game.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: And so you mix in coaching malpractice with lase a
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: fair lazy river football by the Giants, and you have
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: been able to achieve the unachievable. Congratulations, congratulating, just when
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you thought the Giants had turned the corner and they'd
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: arrived and okay, they got their quarterback, they got Scataboo
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: scataboo boo, he's got the name and all that. All right, Well,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: here's Brian Dayball, who should be unemployed at this point
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: but apparently is not, and here is him trying to
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: spin the unspinnable. Let's take a list. Yeah, tough loss, loss,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: So not a lot of talking that needs to be
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: done when you lose a game like that. Everybody gave
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: everything they had. Oh they did really. Okay, you didn't
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: look like it on my TV. Made my TV's an
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: old TV. Maybe that's the problem, because it looked like
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: they thought the game was over and uh yeah, wow
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: wow wow, wow wow, Wow, all right, so mentioned Jackson Dart.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Not good, not good. Uh, just all of it was
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: was god awful. Here is Dart on how you quarterback
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the game. I don't care if you're a rookie or not.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: You quarterbacked were the greatest choke jobs with like five
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: minutes ago, the Broncos were getting smoked and they came back.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Explain yourself, Jackson Dart. I never felt we were gonna
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: lose the game, So you know, I looked at the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: clock when they scored, I said, and we got a
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: lot of time left I had. I had no doubt
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: that we were gonna go down there and score. Well,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: guess what your defense, you didn't. You didn't you left
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: too much time or whatever. The Giants took a carnival
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: cruise and the destination they clearly did not look at
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the destination. Their cruise was titled crap your Pants, and
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: they crapped their pants right there mile high crap, which
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I think is better for you. It clears out your system.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: So congratulations, and bow Nicks, the beneficiary of all this,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: who stunk for three quarters right, Broncos had nothing going
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: on offensively, and then he turns into John Elway in
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the final fifteen minutes. Here Nicks had one hundred and
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: seventy four yards passing forty six yards on the ground.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter, it converted a bunch of two
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: point conversions, had two touchdowns on the ground, two through
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the air, and again not possible without football incompetence by
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: the New York Giants. There. The Giants were thunderstruck. They thought, well,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: just like Jackson Dart said that, ah, we have plenty
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: of time. Well, we're gonna win this game. Don't worry
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: that we have such a big league the Broncos can't
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: come back. And then the Broncos came back, So the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Giants gave them oxygen. So does Brian day Ball survive
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: as coach of the Giants? Now, you'd say he shouldn't.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: He doesn't deserve when you look at his resume and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: how horrific the Giants have been. What a laughing stock,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: what a fraudulent franchise the Giants have been for years
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: since he took over. And you think, well, you fight it,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: but then that's the Giants. Don't do that. This should
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: have been fired two years ago. Brian dave Ball should
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: have been let go. It's a joke. But that's how
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the Giants operator. That's why they're frauds. The New York
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Giants are frauds. They they allow this kind of crap
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to go on, this malfeasance. Brian Brian Dabole, who's clearly
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: incompetent as a head coach. I mean, my god, that
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Denver the Giants with the interception and some sloppy tackling
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and some penalties whatever. The Giants gave the Broncos a
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: little bit of oxygen and they went through that door
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: like it was a Black Friday sale at Walmart. Uh.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: They were just going for it. Uh. And if that
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't get you fired, what else? I would have had
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: him fired multiple times? What else does one have to
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: do to lose their job. He's a nice guy.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I'm he's good. He's a nice guy. Congratulations, glowing stories
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: about oneonderful person. The writers like him. Paul again, you
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: give them thirty three points in the fourth quarter. Me,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I'm guaranteeing you. The tabloids in New York already had
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: the headline the Giants are gonna win the game. They're
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: ready to go, and then poop, surprise, surprise, surprise, you
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: lose a game like that, you should be sent to

• 22:31
  Speaker 1: This hour is from Santa Clara, some thirty six miles
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: south of San Francisco. That is where the forty nine
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: ers play their games, and it was prime time. Well
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: primetime NFL football. You had Michael Pennix Junior and the
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons looking to keep up the good vibe ridtion.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: The Falcons have arrived. They beat the Buffalo Bills. They've arrived.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: You all told me that they've arrived. Okay, So, taking
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: on Lovly Jones and the forty nine ers and a
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: bunch of backups playing for the Niners, you had Mike
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Tarrico and Chris Collinsworth bloviating from the press box about
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: this game. So I don't know if you were watching
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: it or not. Perhaps not a low scoring, boring, low
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: scoring game. You had Christian McCaffrey rumblin and stumble one
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine yards on the ground, two touchdowns,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and when you combine the yards he got receiving, he
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: went over two hundred yards, his fourth two hundred yard
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: plus game from scrimmage in the last six years. And
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the shorthanded the left for dead forty nine Ers deliver
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: on the ground. Their defense made some plays and down
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: gows Atlanta, down goals Atlanta twenty to ten the final
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: on the Sunday night game. The Niners win for the
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: fourth time in five starts this season, with backup Mac Jones.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: That's right, they've won four. Now Mac Jones did not
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: play well. We're not going to get another Mallard monologue
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: about how mac Jones has suddenly found himself with the Niners.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: It was a stinking type performance there for Jones in
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: place of brock Purty. But it didn't matter in the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: end because the Niners win the game anyway, all right,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: So that is a Gould jumping off point. Let us
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: discuss the question the better story in the losing locker room.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: So with that as the backdrop, where does this loss?
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Where does this loss to the Niners leave forty nine
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: ers or leaves the Falcons coach? The Falcons coach for
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: him Moore? So where you lose to the Niners. You
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: got a bunch of backups, And the question is where
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: does this loss leave the Falcons with Raheem Morris as
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: their coach. So I've got confessional booth, elbow, and streisand
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: we are going to make a couple of touchdowns something
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: the Falcons did not score. They didn't score more than
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: one touchdown in this game. So number one. This was
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: billed as a stepping Stone game. The Falcons, according to
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the gamble we market, were expected to win this game,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: prime audience, national television, the whole thing, beaten and broken,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: forty nine er defense who let the stars out? There's
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: no stars left. And so clearly without Nick Boso, who's
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: been out for several weeks, and now Fred Warner, oh
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: my ankle, Fred Warner down for the count. You got
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the JV squad wearing those Red Niners uniforms, and clearly
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: they're not up to the challenge to stop Atlanta. Well,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: they tripped, is what happened here. And not just a
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: little stumble either for the Atlanta Falcons. They face planted
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: in the mud, right in the mud there. And that
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: was a puke in your mouth bad type performance for
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the once proud Atlanta Falcons. As life comes at you
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: fast in the big city. And so they were the
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: toast of the NFL last week. And this continues the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: trend with Raheem Morris. This is vintage coaching from Raheem Morris.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: We've seen this in the past, We've just seen it
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: again here. He is the yo yo of coaches up
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: and down, up, been down. That's a yo yo And
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: in this game, the Niners bottling up for much of
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the game, but Jehan Robinson from impact game changing plays.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: So the game was in the hands of Michael Pennex
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Junior to rise on up, be the alpha, not the Omega.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I don't need know Omegan. I don't even know betas.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I need an alpha and command the moment, right, big moment.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Everyone watching, who's not watching the baseball game, this is
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: your opportunity right here. How did that go? Well? You
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: know the result and if you watch the game, you
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: know that. With the game on the line in the
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Michael Pennex Junior was neck deep and quicksand
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: he got into the cockpit of the vomit comet and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: was terrible. How bad was it in the fourth quarter?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Four of eleven passing for forty nine yards, obviously no
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: touchdowns as the Atlanta Falcons failed to score in the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter of a close game. It was a one
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: score game for much of the second half of the game,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: but they end up losing. This four of eleven, forty
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: nine yards for Michael Pennex Junior. And hey, if you
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: want to be a big boy team, you don't need
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: me to tell you this. If you want to be
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: one of the top teams in the NFL. You can't
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: play like that. That ain't it. Okay, that ain't it?
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Whatever that was, that ain't it? And Pennex looked like
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: yet again, he lacked a higher gear. We've seen this
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: a lot. He looks like a middle of the pack
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. Doesn't look bad. He just doesn't look that good. Pennix,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: and that if you need your quarterback to step up
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: and make plays late in the game, he's not the guy.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: You're not that guy, Palt, You're not that guy. And
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: so I have Atlanta on my big board, not a
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: list to Terry in England, but my big board, Atlanta
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: is a faux contender. They are a faux contender. I
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: don't think I'm seriously, I don't and until proven otherwise.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Raheem Morris. That's the standard for the teams that he
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: has coached, mentioned up and down the Yo Yo And
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: they had the razzle dazzle at home, and one week
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: they bring the razzle dazzle, and then the next week
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: it's a tire fire, and this week it was a
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: tire fire. Atlanta is not a real threat in the NFC.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: If you played Lanta in the playoffs. You're not really
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: worried about it. As long as you're showing up and
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you pay attention, you'll beat them. They'll blow it. They'll
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: blow it. They'll they'll screw it up. So you had
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: that now. Meanwhile, the second part of this, all the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: buzz and they made this a feature on the NBC broadcast,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: was about the running backs, and they were featured. They
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: were the stars, the quarterbacks. It's like a throwback game
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: to the old days when the quarterbacks went out the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: big stars. It was more about the the running backs.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: And so you had Falcons coach again, Raheem Morris, who
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: recently called running Backjon Robinson the best, the best player
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: in the NFL without a doubt. He said, without a doubt,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: the best player. Now you and I know that the
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: term best, the legal definition, is as good as all
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the rest. However, there's a glitch in the human condition
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: where people hear that and they assume, well, that means
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: better than everything else. But the best technically means just
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: as good as all the orsts. And Raheem Morris didn't
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: mean it to say that Bjon Robinson was as good
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: as every other running back. He said it in a
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: way to indicate that this guy is better than everyone else.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: So the hype game is strong in Atlanta, and the
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: question how lopsided? Was the head to head match up
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: between the Falconsjon Robinson, who according to his coach, is
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the best player in the NFL without a doubt, and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers Christian McCaffrey. So side by side,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: this was a crime scene. Robinson was bludgeoned in the
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: side by side blind Soda challenge. He was and that
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: was a k oh A knockout, it was. And so
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Atlanta hyped this guy up and all that, and then
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: reality came flying at him like a folding chair at
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: a professional wrestling event. McCaffrey delivered the elbow, but not
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: just any elbow. There was the atomic elbow from the
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: top rope for Christian McCaffrey. And it wasn't even close. Now,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: you got Jean Robinson out there, who had twenty two
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: touches for ninety yards. He averaged four point six yards
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: per touch, which is fine, it's respectable four point six
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: yards per touch. But then you look across the field
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: at Christian McCaffrey. How did he do thirty one touches
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: two hundred and one yards, had one hundred and eleven
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: more yards, averaged almost six and a half yards per touch,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: scored two touchdowns. That is a grown man performance by
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey and really a masterclass in the side by side.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: In the side by side there, Atlanta gave a lot
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: of hype, a lot of build up to Bejon Robinson,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: and he played well in the game last week. But
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: here's another opportunity against a woe begone forty nine er defense,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: a defense that is tattered, and what did you do?
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: And not enough? Not enough. McCaffrey gave it the land
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: of the blueprint on what a big time back looks
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: like in that environment. And again no Fred Warner. They
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: showed him on TV there he was dapping his buddies
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: after the game there and I think I was on
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: crutches here like a scooter thing. See that. Nick Bosa
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: also long gone. That's the stars, those are the stars.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: That's it. There's a starless night for the forty nine
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: ers defense. And so a bunch of flotsam and jetsam
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: wearing forty nine or laundry. The backup singers if you will,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: and they sung a nice melody the backup singers hid
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: a nice melody there and kept Pajon Robinson in check.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: And so you know what, the what the best thing,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot, there's a lot of good
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: things about it, but the best thing in the NFL
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: of running back and do is not get bottled up
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of a prime time game. But
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: you're trying to claim you're the top running back in
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: the NFL, right, I mean, come on, McCaffrey, didn't you
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: take over the game? You drag your team to victory.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Neither team had a good quarterback. Mac Jones and pan
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: X with the quarterbacks in this game, and you know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: don't get manageable numbers. You got to do better than that.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: And against the defense that's running on fumes. And so
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: they held San Francisco. The Falcons defense actually wasn't terrible.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: They held the forty nine ers to twenty points. And
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: you'd say, okay, you're the better team, you're expected to
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: win based on the gambling market and all that, and
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: you're Atlanta. You've got the best player in the NF
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: fell and yeah, so the Falcons wanted They're like the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: kid that wanted Captain Crunch, like I would like captain crunch,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: And the parents went to the store and said, well,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: we can't afford captain crunch, so we're gonna get your
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: captain munch. It's like Captain crunch, but it's just a
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: little saugear. It doesn't hold its crunch, so you gotta
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: eat it right away. Yeah, that's it. So McCaffrey over
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: there playing the banjo's got the like Dick and Dayton.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: He's got the banjo going there, and the house is
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: burning down all around the Falcons. They're toured one total
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: yards controlling the game. It was so bad. How bad
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: was it? The Falcons did not have the right personnel
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: on the field in the fourth quarter of that game.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: They failed to have the right personnel on the field.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: How does that happen? It's week seven, it's not week
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: one where you didn't have training camp. Another embarrassment for
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Rahie Morris and his coaching staff. There on the biggest
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: defensive play of the game, the Atlanta Falcons were missing
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the eleventh man. They decided, you know what, we're so good,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: we'll play with ten. How did that work out? Don't
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: ask all right now? Meanwhile, final point, we pivot away
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: from the Sunday night game and we go to Dallas,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: but it's really about Washington, and we go to Jerry's
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: world where the Cowboys somehow kicked the ass of the
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: command What happened to the commanders? I thought they were good?
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Apparently not so. In this game, there was an injury
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: which led to a mama running to defend her child.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniel's mother, who happens to be his agent, is
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: upset if you're questioning her son and his injury pattern
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: developing hot dot dot dot. Jayden Daniel's mom went on
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: social media very upset that people are comparing her son
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels to RG three. All right, So, after Daniels
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: suffered a hamstring injury came out of the game against
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys on Sunday again that was lopsided, She asked
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: the fans on social media. She said, stop manifesting RG three.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: She said, I wish you would stop it. Words are powerful.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: RG three's mom said, or RG three. Jade Daniel's mom said,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: words are powerful and that's all that's talked about. So
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: she was upset that her kids being compared again, Jade
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: and Daniels being compared to RG three so the question
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: how do you digest Jadeen Daniel's mom lecturing the Commander
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: fan base about manifesting r G three on her son,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: And so it's a little bit of like Ricky Bobby
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: type stuff in this, right, I got. I got the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Ricky Bobby vibe I did. I was like that famous
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: scene from the movie back in the day and you're like,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: all right, so don't put that voodoo on me. It
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: was that kind of thing, and so like what are
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: we doing here? Though? Seriously, I mean I digested, it
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: does not digest very well, and it's an unforced are
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: you you can write that? And as the tar shows,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm very happy that she wrote what she wrote,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: But if I was advising her like this, you write
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: that out. There's a famous story about Abraham Lincoln back
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: in the day and he'd have the the the unsent letters. Well,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: he'd write these really nasty lever letters like you know
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: MF and the people that were his enemies and politically,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: and he just he would never send them, and he'd
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: write on them unsent, do not send. Whatever He'd write
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: on the letter, and he'd put it in a drawer
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: in his desk and like that's the thing. You can
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: write it, but you cannot send it, Like, what do
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: you do? It's an unforced ara, as we said, bad
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: job by her. No one made her do it. No
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: one said you gotta do this, you go, no, no
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: one begged hers. I gotta get Jadeen Daniel's mom's take
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: on what social media is saying about her kid. Did
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: anyone say No one said that. No one said that.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: And I get Oh, she's a protective mama bear. I
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: understand that. But she saw people comparing her kid to
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Robert Griffin, iid, and she got emotional and she clicks send.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: You cannot do that. And now now it's headlines. I'm
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: talking about it. Everyone's yapping about it. Who cares about
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: this kind of crap? And it's like, oh, it's the
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Streisan effect, is what it is. It's a total strize
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: and effect. She just poured unleaded gasoline on what was
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: a small, contained wildfire and nobody was manifesting anything that
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: can't happen on social media. It's all fake. Uh. And
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: if the fans and media are pointing out the obvious,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: the obvious Heela monster in the room, the parallels between
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: the Heisman winner, second overall pick, goes to Washington, has
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: a good start to their career, and then has a
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: nice big bowl of snap crackle pop. Okay, that's not
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: again manifesting. That's football talk. That's what it is. You
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: put a quarterback in the DC area and they have
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: an injury after year one and say, well, here we go, yeah,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: RG three. That is a natural comp That is a
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: natural comparison, and every man, woman and child knows it.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: That's just what it And she made it worse like
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: she's somehow. Now the story isn't hey Jade and Daniels
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: tweaked his hammy, hope he's okay, injured against the Cowboys. No, no, no, no.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: The story now is Jaden Daniel's mom snaps it fans online.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Angry lady, that's the headline. Boom done, that's your headline.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Couldn't have been the headline if she didn't click send.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: It's unnecessary noise. The Commanders are a losing football team.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: You are what your record says you are. Sorry, Rick
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: and Maryland. More than time when you wake up in
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: the morning, they have a losing record and their quarterback.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Let's be honest, not the firecracker. He was last year
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: just kind of there, fifteenth in QBR in the NFL,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: middle of the pack. He is a jag, not a
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville jack. Just a guy. He's just a guy and
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: not a human highlight film like he had been. And
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: he gave the game away against the Chicago Bears with
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: that mistake on a rainy night. And here against the Cowboys,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: who were the worst defense in the NFL, it wasn't
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: even close. And the Commanders and he said, well, he
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: got hurt. Yes, Jade Daniels got hurt. They were losing
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: before he got hurt. He wasn't playing well before he
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: left the game. It's not like all of a sudden
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: once he got hurt, the Commanders blew the lead. So
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: he's not the human highlight reel Jaden Daniels that he
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: had been. And the Mallard PSA again, this is a
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Mallard PSA, very simple. You can't win the fight with
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: social media. Cannot do it, cannot do it. The mob
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: loves the story like this eating Frenzy. It's like Piranha
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: with blood in the water. You tell social media, which
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: is mostly fake anyway, you say listen, don't say what
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: you're saying it's a bad take by you bad take by.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna get it louder. You're gonna get
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: memes is what you're gonna get the whole thing. And
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: you just created that. That's your creation, not my creation.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: That's your creation. Every hamstring tweak from now on, anytime
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Jade Daniels has a poor performance, this will again be
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: brought up. And it's like yelling at the going to
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: the ocean and yelling at a wave to not crash,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: do not crash wave. Okay, well, good luck, good luck
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: on that. So not everything in I know, it's shocking.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Not everything needs to be on social media. I'm on
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: there during the show for real time feedback. I'm very
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: rarely on there during the day. I popped out a
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: couple times this weekend for listener engagement, but other than that,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: not very much. So sometimes the best thing you can
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: do is appsolutely nothing.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Smaller, how about that? To the third degree?
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: This is one big gets quailed all right?
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Cool?
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: Ben lsu fans are losing patients with head coach Brian
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: Kelly following Saturday's lost to Vanderbilt.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: A lot of them want him to go the way
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: of James Franklin. Do you think that's gonna happen? Well,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: if you can come with the money. It's always about
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: the money, right, It's about the buy out. And Brian Kelly,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: you knew right away that was not going to work
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: when he was doing the fake voice when he showed
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: up there. And I get this, since they're not going
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: to come up with the money, Otherwise they would have
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: already fired Brian Kelly. So the fact that he hasn't
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: been fired and we've seen that, Listen, Penn State got
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: rid of their coach, Florida's got rid of their coach.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: The fact that they have not gotten rid of him yet.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I think the buyout. What did I read the buyout was?
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: It was like, guy, it was like fifty million dollars
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: or something like that.
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: So yeah, on that next, all right, So the San
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: Francisco Giants are about to do something that nobody's ever
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: done before. They're going to hire a new manager, Tony Vittello,
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: who is the manager of the Tennessee Balls college baseball team. Yeah,
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: never been a path like this to uh, you know,
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: major league manager managing Ben. Do you think it's a
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: good idea?
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Well, he hasn't been hired yet, right like the report
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: was he was going to get the job, and then
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: there was a story last night that said he's torn
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: about the job. I don't think it matters because these,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: you know, my theory coopers, the front office dictates everything.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe the gatz will be different, and Buster Posey's an
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: old school guy, so maybe it'd be different. But otherwise
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: he's just a puppet. You can hire me next.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: Ben Carmelo Anthony said that the Cleveland Cavaliers they just
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: need to change their mentality because they've won a bunch
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: of games, but they keep getting knocked out the same stage.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's the problem, a mental problem? No, Spider,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Mitchell's got to be better. You listen to guy. They've
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: fallen apart in big games. He's the star. It happened
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: in Utah too. How do we do you passed? That's
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: what I want the guys hollering James I won.
