  Speaker 2: gone by, His group won the arbitration hearing. They are

  Speaker 2: in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather Show.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: We are in the air ever reware blathering into the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: darkness as we deem this show to be necessary. Coast

• 1:51
  Speaker 2: hour is from the High Speed Sports Wile we'll get
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: back to the Luca dud of a debut only fourteen
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: points one of seven from three point range, clearly not
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: in shape, clearly not in shape. Luca only on a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: minute's restriction. Really the podcast Reddick the coach there feeding
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: into the narrative that Luca needs to go to a
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: fat farm, just not apparently in enough shape. Minutes restrictions
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: are one of the dumbest things you can possibly have
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: in sports, and the Lakers doing that. I guess Luca
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: had too many donuts when he got to LA. But
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: our lead this hour from a different team in LA,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and the mantra I had when I ran a gossip
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: website for years was today's rumors are tomorrow's news. Well,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: yesterday's rumors are today's news in this case, because the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Azzi has landed the great carpetbagger of our time. Holy
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Ozzi Momentum, Batman and where have you gone? Ozzie w
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: was as Ben Simmons. If you didn't see this was
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: a rumor over the weekend, It's now become reality. We've
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: learned that the Clippers have signed Ben Simmons, the former
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: number one overall who has been not only a basketball player,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: he has been an abject failure as a professional basketball
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: player and has done more damage to the NBA than
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: just about anyone this side of I don't know Kawhi Leonard,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: but there they are together in LA twenty eight years old.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Ben Simmons seems like he's fifty the the way his
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: body has fallen apart. And he joins the people's team
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and he can sit on the bench and get hemorrhoids
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: with Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. Is there, Norman Powell
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and whatnot? Simmons was fired, fired by the Nets, who
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: fought so little of Ben Simmons they paid him to
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: go away contract buyout from Brooklyn, one of the worst
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: teams in basketball. Ben Simmons somehow has embezzled this year
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: forty million dollars. That's his salary this year. It's good
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to be bad. It's good to be bad. Forty million dollars.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: He will be free to roam around the NBA at
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the end of the year. This is the last year
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: of his contract. He has averaged a futile six points
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: per game, five rebounds, and a six point nine assists
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: per game. That was with the Brooklyn basketball team, but
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: now he goes to the people's team in La So
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. How
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: do you process the Clippers decision to go all in
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: on Ben Simmons and beat out teams like Cleveland in
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the Ben Simmons Sweepstakes. So I've got the Jolly Green
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Giant meat loaf and massoo, and we will combine all
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: of these things together and we are going to make
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: a Norwegian lunderhound. I don't even know what that is,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: but it's one of the dogs at the dog show
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: and it's parading around. It looks like a little rat
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: dog and it's walking around alright, So number I said number Yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: So how do I process That's the question? How do
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I process the Clippers' decision to add a player that
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I have taken potshots at for his entire career. I
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: process it. This is the franchise motto of the Steve
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Balmer Clippers. It's perplexing is the word I will use.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: But here we are. Bomber's got deep pockets and these
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: are the type of players that he is attracted to.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know why he is. If I ran the Clippers,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I would want nothing to do with Ben Simmons. I
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: would run to the hills to get away from a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: player like Ben Simmons. But yet the Clippers with Balmer
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: have the greatest arena, they have the richest owner in sports,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and they continue to be intertwined with players who don't
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: seem to really be interested in playing basketball. They're good
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: at it when they play, but they're not really into it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: It's more like a hobby, more like a nuisance. And
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I go back to a term that we use, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: we used to use this back in the old day.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: It's not as used as much anymore. It's called Florence
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Nightingale syndrome, where the Clippers have fallen in love with
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: trying to fix players that are perceived to have been
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: damaged broken players, whether it's a domestic violence arrest, whether
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: it's you haven't played because you don't want to play
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and you're seeing ghosts come on down to clipper Land,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and it's just perfect. It's poetry in motion that Ben
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Simmons and Kawhi Lander will be getting hemorrhoids together on
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the Clippers bench as teammates. It's like the Jolly Green Giant.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: These guys two pods or two peas in a pod.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I should say two peas in a pod, right, the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: jolly Green Giant and floating on the lazy river and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: all that. And this is what the front office has
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: gone for. And I would love to know an explanation,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure the explanation, but well, you never give
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: up on talent. We hear that all the time when
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the NFL signs Felons. NFL team signed felm Oh, you
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: never give up on talent and know all that stuff.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: But wouldn't that be the opposite of what you should
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: do in this situation. Guys, It's one thing talent that's
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: got some desire. Ben Simmons has no desire. He has
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: no desire. He's the antithesis of the type of player
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: that you would want, and yet these players get embraced.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: He's a carpetbagger. He's making forty million. You'll go somewhere else.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I'll bet you probably play all right with the Clippers
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: because he wants another contract and to in bezzel more
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: money from someone else in the NBA. But I want
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: guys that drink bedello, that have the fighting spirit. That's
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: what I want. I want players that'll scratch and claw
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: and do everything they can to get on the court.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I know I'm dating myself and you're you're your boy,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: You're a boomer. What would you want? Well, they could
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: get hurt, Ben, Oh my god, if they play too
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: many minutes, and then that's on you. Uh yeah, now,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I know. I know I'm a dinosaur. I actually like
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: athletes want to play and have that that edge to them.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And I guess I'm too old now, but I just
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: don't want anything to do with guys like Ben Simmons.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I don't and he is just the opposite of everything
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I like when I watch sports and when you look
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: at people to compete, and the Clippers have a roster
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: that is filled with players like this. Either they have
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: made so much money and won championships like Kawhi Leonard,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: they just not then into it, or they've never won
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a championship and they've made so much money and maybe
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: they're really good at basketball, but they don't really like basketball,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and they like all the things that come with it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: It's like going to Thanksgiving. Me like, well, I don't
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: like the turkey, but I like the stuffing, and I
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: like the mashed potatoes and the biscuits and the cornbread,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: and I like the cranberries and the ams, but I
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: don't like the turkey. Well, in basketball, the turkey is
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the game itself. But you like all the groupies that
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: follow you around, right, all the money that you get,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: all the endorsements, all the fanboys that lick your toes.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: You like all that stuff, but you don't actually like
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the turkey part of the meal, which is the main
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: part of the meal. And that's where we are all
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: right now. Page two. Do you expect Ben Simmons to
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: change his ways with the Clippers. I've I've heard some
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: of my my Clipper friends. I do have Clipper friends.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Oh Ben, Yeah, don't don't be too hard on Ben Simmons.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: He'll be good and listen. I like the Clippers. I
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: hope they win. I hope I'm wrong, But there's no
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: way on God's green Earth. I think Ben Simmons is
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: gonna be any different than he was in Philly or
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: in Brooklyn. Maybe for a couple of games he'll play well,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: but he's a liability. Much like Luka Dancik is a
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: liability for the Lakers, don't play defense. Ben Simmons is
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: a liability on offense for the Clippers. He's not gonna
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: play very much. But when he's out there, anything, he's
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: like Shaquille O'Neal. Anything within three feet of the basket,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: he's fine. You take him out of the painted area,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: he's got the yips and he starts seeing ghosts and
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: it's like that that meat Loaf song from back in
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the day. What you see is what you get with
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: with Ben Simmons. And if you do the malor Matt,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Ben Simmons came out of he's been in the end.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: He missed his first year, but it was twenty sixteen,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. He's been around for parts of nine seasons.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: He's missed two full seasons and most of a third,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: if my math is right here, with either injuries or
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: made up stuffed. He just didn't want to play, and
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: you know all that stuff, and so much like we say,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Leopard cannot change its spots. We know the answer to
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: whether Ben Simmons is going to have this come to
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Jesus moment and see the light and have this great
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: metamorphosis in a Clipper uniform just not going to happen,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: maybe for a little bit. But he's the type of
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: slacker that makes you have apathy for the sport of basketball.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: And if you've listened to the show and followed this
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: show over the years, you know that we used to
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: talk a ton of basketball. Now we only do it
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: when it's rare and appropriate. Now the football season's over
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: and so we'll pick our spots and talk more basketball.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: But we would talk basket ball NBA basketball during the season.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: But the attitude of players like Kawhi Leonard, Ben Simmons,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Anthony Davis, and a bunch of other guys has driven
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: us to a state of apathy where they don't give
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: a rats ass, So why should we give a rats ass? No,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: we do enjoy the playoffs still, but not as much
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: as we did in the past. Now, furthermore, moving on
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: from that, we go to Minnesota. That's right, Minnesota. The
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Timberwolves were smoked to watch some of that game with
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Cleveland on Monday, that game not competitive. But this is
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: not about a random Minnesota Cleveland basketball game. Mark Lori
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: and Alyx Rondriguez. Yeah, a baseball guy, A Rod, the
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: baseball guy. They they claim they have won. They have
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: won their long bitter battle with Glenn Taylor, the longtime
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: owner of the Timber Puffs of the NBA, and that
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: news coming out on Monday evening, and the arbitrators supported
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: A Rod's group, which means that now it's up to
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: the NBA Board of owners. They call it board of governors,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: but they're owners. Jereymond Green didn't like the word owners,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: so we can't say the word. I call them owners.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I'm a rebel. So the owners of the NBA have
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: to approve that. The league has to sign off on it.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: But as long as they approve, then A Rod will
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: take over control of the Minnesota basketball team. The panel
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: of arbitrators, three arbitrators, ruled in favor of A Rod
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: and his rich people that are his friends to get
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: control of the team. But they have to get league approval.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: So that's the next step. So it's not official official,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: but it's heading that direction. Soul I ask you the question,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: got a lot of great listeners in Minnesota, and this
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: is really only for you, but there's people that know
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: who a Rod is. So here's the question. Alex Rodriguez
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: group winning an arbitration decision and they're on track to
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: own the Timberwolves. Is this a good day, a bad day,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: or something else for Minnesota? All right? So I have
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: it as something else. I am in a missou Miszoo
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: state of mind, meaning I'm gonna show me state type
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: of situation here because I am very skeptical of a Rod.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I interviewed him back in my younger days when he
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: was playing for the Mariners and the Rangers and all
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: those teams, and he is Pop goes to weasel. You
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: knew it before. I didn't even realize the depths of
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: a Rod as a weasel. And it hadn't come out
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: yet that he had done the things that he had
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: done and all that. Does he still have that painting
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: of him as a half man, half horse there on
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: his I don't know, but that's that aside. That's a
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: different issue. I would be very concerned if I'm a
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Minnesota sports if you actually like the Timberwolves. I know
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: that's about a dozen people, but I would be worried
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: because a Rod has a gazillion investors, and a Rod's
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the kind of a dirt dog that will take that
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: basketball team in the middle of the night, bring in
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the Mayflower moving vans and say I'm out. I can't
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: get enough TV money, I can't make enough money in
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the market. I gotta get out. The arena is not
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: good enough. I gotta go somewhere else. And there's a
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: city in the Pacific Northwest that hasn't had an NBA
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: team since a rich oil baron from Oklahoma ripped the
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: team out of Seattle. The Seattle basketball market has been barren.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of tech money in Seattle. There's a
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: lot of you know, a lot of corporate money there,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: and so with Costco's not far away and whatnot. So
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: there is a world in the multiverse where Alex Rodriguez
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Nickel and dime A Rod ends up getting rid of
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the team all together, just moves it to Seattle and says, wow,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I played for the Mariners. I've always loved Seattle, and
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: they need basketball there and I want to go back
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: to Seattle and blah blah blah blah blah and go
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: pound Sand Minnesota. So I'd be very worried about that
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: because he's the kind of shady cake. He'll never say
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: it right. I'm sure. Oh, I don't plan on moving
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the team at all. Nobody plans on doing anything until
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: they do it. You don't announce it, you don't announce
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: it right, you just do it. It is the Ben
• 15:15

• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Dog says Hey Mallard number sixteen. I don't disagree with
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: a single thing you said on your mal monologue, but
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I'm still holding out hope when Ben Simmons dons that
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: magical clipper jersey, he'll transform into a serviceable role player.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Ozzy Was says, don't put Ben Simmons in the same
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: category as us by calling him an Ozzy. Ozzie was
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: from a middle of nowhere there in Australia, says we
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: disowned him years ago. The words that would use to
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: describe him you would be not be able to use
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: on live radio, says Ozzie was Who's listening on a
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: satellite elon Musk satellite out there and we's surrounded by
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: kangaroos and that's it. Paul Wright Sin says, no one
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: is moving an NBA franchise. They're going to expand. If anything,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I would think I know Minnesota fans would like a
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: new arena and hopefully we will get it with new ownership.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: If not, I'm sure there will be whispers. But I
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: don't think moving a franchise will happen. Well, Paul, I
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: don't want to be the bearer of bad news. People
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: said the same thing in baseball, that they're gonna put
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: an expansion team in Las Vegas. They're gonna put an
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: expansion team in Nashville. The Athletics are on their way
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: to Vegas, stopping in Sacramento for a couple of years.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: And there are rumors that that deal in Tampa could
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: fall apart. The Rays may very well end up in Nashville.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: And if those two things happen, well, but people said, oh,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: now'll just put expansion teams there, Well they haven't. And
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: the thing about expansion and this is something that they
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: can't get past, is you have to divvy up the pie.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: You have to cut a different you have to bring
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: somebody else into the cartel, and you have to cut
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: the pie a little bit smaller. Every piece of the
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: pie is a little bit smaller when you add an
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: expansion team. And these billionaires do not like to share
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: their pie. They love their pie. They don't want anyone
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: else to have a piece of the pie because they
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: want to have a bigger piece of the pie. Yeah,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: there you go, All right, what do we have here,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Ryan Wrights and says, was Shaye gilgis Alexander a Clipper?
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Was he at least you have Kawhi Leonard who is
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: dependable and will take the Clippers to the Final four. Well,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: this is what happens when you empower players to make trades.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard's condition to go to the Clippers was he
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: wanted Paul George, of all the players on God's Green
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Earth to pick to ride along with you. He picked
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: podcast p Kawhi Leonard, just like we're hearing that Luca
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Doncik Luca wanted as a condition to the trade, he
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: requested the Lakers acquire a guy that apparently has an
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: arthritic chronic hip condition in Mark Williams. And there are
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: reports in the overnight here the Charlotte Hornets have contacted
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: the league office and they are exploring their options. They
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: dispute the Lakers on that failed physical of Mark Williams.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: So what are they gonna do? Mulligan on that and
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Dalton connectest to now go back to Charlotte. How does

  Speaker 4: You know, the Lakers are going to win it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Now, Lakers are not winning the chance stop. The Lakers
• 31:16

• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Mister ballas well quality overnight talk radio. That'll get you
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: through the summer. That'll get you be We'll have a
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: several scandals. We have the NFL Draft where every player
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: is going to be a Hall of Famer. Just wait,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: and you'll have that to look forward to. You have
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: the scouting combine and that will always be entertaining.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: We'll come in handy as a blind person.

• 31:55
  Speaker 2: the Underwear Olympics which will be taking place. That's always fun.

  Speaker 2: So we have that to look forward to. My question,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: we have trades we had yes? What?
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: No? No, No? When are we doing the Bennys again? I'm
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: more concerned about the Betty Well.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: The Bennys are as you know, they happened the same
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: weekend as the Academy Awards. Typically. I don't know how
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: the schedule works out that way, but I believe we
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: have one on the bends like another several week beginning
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: of March. Yeah, so we have we have to get through.
• 32:24

• 32:28
  Speaker 2: the Year? Do you believe you'll be the Blind Caller
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: of the Year.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, will that will never happen. And that's
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: just fine.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: Do you do you believe you'll be nominated? Do you
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: think you'll be nominated for a Beny Award? This is
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: exciting because that was a category that died out. We
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: used to be a category. Then we lost a lot
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: of blind listeners, and now we have a lot. We
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: have a bunch again.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: We dominate. The blind. People that can't see love the show.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: They think we look good. Yeah, all right, well all right,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: but the Bennys are the Benny's are coming all right,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: the Bennys are coming up. And uh, if you want
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: to get into debate with blind so, I don't have
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: time to do it right now, but call back will
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: set that up if you want. All right, I think
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: he's just gonna attack you though. He's gonna he's gonna
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: come into the ring there and overwhelm you. I'm worried
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: That's okay, I'll just ignore him.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Your okay, all right, thank you, go away. There's a
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: legally blind Chris so put a patch on it. That's
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: what the Cincinnati Reds have decided to do with Charlie Hustle.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Pete Rose is dead. He's passed on across the Pearly gates,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: and the Reds have decided that despite Pete Rose being binned,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I guess this band is over now because he's dead.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: So the Reds have decided that they will have a
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: tribute to Pete Rose all season long. They will wear
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: a number fourteen patch on their jersey sleeve in honor
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: of Charlie Hustle, who did a radio show with JT.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: The Brick for a long time and used to hang
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: out When Fox Sports Radio started. There was an Italian
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: restaurant right across the street here with the corner of
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Ventura and Sa Palvida and in La in the valley,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: and Pete used to hang out there every afternoon for
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: happy hour. Pete Rose would hang out and that was
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: his thing. And then he moved to Vegas because somebody
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: would pay him to sign autographs every weekend, and so
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: he went to Vegas plaus He loved the gamble and
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: he didn't want to deal with the neighborhood booky and
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: all that. But the Reds leaked the patch. It was
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: online that they're going to do this. They give a
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: sneak peak of the patch on social media. It features
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Pete rose signature baseball number and Pete died at the
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: age of eighty three. But though where it's a black
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: patch with white ribbing and the number fourteen, Pete Rose's number,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: and it is the band Well good, I'm sure it's
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: one of these things we honor people and they're dead.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: It's kind of Pete, you know, get in the Hall
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: of Fame if you don't get any while you're alive.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: It seems kind of ridiculous to me. But you know
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: he's dead. That's what you do. You put a patch
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: on there, and you think when when I die someday,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: you think they'll put a patch on the FSR uniforms
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: and they'll as a tribute to They're probably gonna put

  Speaker 2: I don't. Okay. Tom Brady is the answer. Tom Brady
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: in that game against that right against the Falcons. I
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: forget what happened in that game the Patriots lot.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: This is one gets.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: In a media appearance this weekend, Miles Garrett was asked
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: how far he would go contractually in a bid to
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: move on from the Browns, and he replied, I'm willing
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: to do whatever it takes. Ben, How do you think
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: this plays out? Yeah, so there's two ways this plays out.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: Either a the Browns pay the man and throw money
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: at him and everyone's got their price. And if the
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: Brown's paying more money, and he'll be like, oh, you know, I.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Changed my mind. I want to stay in Cleveland all
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: this bull crap, or Miles Garrett becomes a complete douchebag
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: and goes scorched Earth, and then the Browns end up
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: trading him to his preferred destination. That's it. I think
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: they'll end up trading him next.
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: Adam Schefter reported this weekend that a team to watch
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: for Sam Donald will be the Las Vegas Raiders. Other
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: reports also have them as a potential landing spot for
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: And which quarterback do you think is more likely to
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: end up in Vegas? So this and it's the goods, glamour,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: it's Vegas, it's the entertainment mecca, it's sin city. You
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: need a headliner. Sam Donald's not a headliner. Aaron Rodgers is.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: For him to take up a Vega Vegas residency is
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: what old washed up and tainters do Why not washed
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: up football players at Vegas residency for Aaron Rodgers makes
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of sense.
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: Next, Deebo Samuel recently revealed that he and his agent
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: have receive permission from the forty nine Ers to seek
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: a trade. Yeah, Ben, Deebo's coming off a down year.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: Do you think he still has good value on the market?
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: I not for me, but he will. He'll be able
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: to find it too. He used to kill the Rams.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: In recent years, he has not killed the Rams. He
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: hasn't killed anybody for the forty nine ers. But you'd
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: think that Niners will send him somewhere like the Steelers,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: the Bills, your your Broncos, the Chargers, one of those
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: AFC teams that need help with the wide opposition. So
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: he'll find a job. I don't put a lot of
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: value in debo because he's been pretty mediocre for several years.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: How did wake Dow he passes? Is? I won the
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: right up? The right up? I won? Come on, I'm
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: the all time wins king at these games shows. Come on,
