- 0:20Speaker 1: words here in our number one, Rich Paul, my guy
- 0:23Speaker 1: that's been writing Lebron's coattails all these years. Rich Paul
- 0:26Speaker 1: says Lebron is not taking his time in free agency
- 0:31Speaker 1: to get attention. He's waiting to make the right basketball decision. Okay,
- 0:37Speaker 1: wink wink, nod nod? Which way are you leaning on this?
- 0:40Speaker 1: Also what message our NFL owners sending by plotting to
- 0:45Speaker 1: extend commissioner Roger Goodell already his contract's not up until
- 0:50Speaker 1: next year. And in college football coach will Stein who
- 0:57Speaker 1: will Stein says he wasn't being arrogant when he claimed
- 1:01Speaker 1: that Kentucky can win big because of him. What's your
- 1:06Speaker 1: verdict on this? We'll get to that and many more
- 1:09Speaker 1: hours and hot takes right now here.
- 1:11Speaker 2: It is our number one. The watch continues, but not
- 1:18Speaker 2: that watch, but the watch. Welcome in the beginning of
- 1:25Speaker 2: another night of the Band Maller Show. We are in
- 1:28Speaker 2: the air a rewhere as we pop on over for
- 1:34Speaker 2: a visit, and we won't be here that long, just
- 1:36Speaker 2: four hours. We are cashless wonders making sure we're more
- 1:41Speaker 2: relatable coast to coast, border to border and beyond on
- 1:46Speaker 2: the vast and animately powerful microphones of fsre ammundating live
- 1:54Speaker 2: live from the action the midnight Passion, endless action guaranteed
- 2:01Speaker 2: human from the world famous Fox Sports radio studios. Were Gunner,
- 2:06Speaker 2: Remember Gunner from Minnesota? That guy Gunner from Minnesota wants
- 2:10Speaker 2: to know about ty Iraq. For over forty years, tyre
- 2:13Speaker 2: Iraq has been helping customers like alf Fergdog and Malard
- 2:17Speaker 2: prop Guy who I'm told shares a birthday with hollering James.
- 2:20Speaker 2: That's rather scary. Yeah, I know. I'll find the right
- 2:23Speaker 2: tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast
- 2:26Speaker 2: and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
- 2:30Speaker 2: installation options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot com
- 2:35Speaker 2: the way that tire buying should should be. And then
- 2:42Speaker 2: I think it was Sir Scratchoff who's a retired caller,
- 2:45Speaker 2: and the black irishman from Omaha who also is a
- 2:48Speaker 2: retired caller, who both came out of retirement and said Ben.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Let the people know about that Specialized Recruiting Group. I said,
- 2:54Speaker 2: you know what, that's a new one. We'll do it.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Why not. The hiring market moves fast, Specialized Recruiting Group
- 3:00Speaker 2: moves faster from contract to direct higher. SRG eliminates the
- 3:05Speaker 2: red tape and delivers professional staffing solutions with local insight
- 3:12Speaker 2: and national reach. SRG goes beyond resumes to find the
- 3:16Speaker 2: right fit for your business. Start building your team today
- 3:20Speaker 2: at srgpros dot com. So our lead this out now.
- 3:24Speaker 2: I was not going to start with this, and then
- 3:25Speaker 2: I said, well, this is such a wonderful quote, we
- 3:29Speaker 2: got to go with it. So the latest is from
- 3:32Speaker 2: the watch party for Lebron James. Did Lebron James sign
- 3:38Speaker 2: late at night? Did he pick his new destination in
- 3:41Speaker 2: the NBA? No? So the reason I'm bringing this up,
- 3:47Speaker 2: and really the only reason I'm bringing this up, is
- 3:51Speaker 2: Rich Paul. You know Rich Paul, the guy that's been
- 3:54Speaker 2: riding Lebron's gravy train chirp for years, riding those coat
- 3:59Speaker 2: ta Lebron. And he forcefully dismissed Rich Paul the speculation
- 4:06Speaker 2: surrounding Lebron James in free agency, saying nobody knows nothing,
- 4:14Speaker 2: Rich Paul said, and arguing that most rumors are baseless.
- 4:19Speaker 2: So I just saw this or not? Perhaps not now,
- 4:22Speaker 2: Rich Paul rejecting the premise that Lebron is intentionally dragging
- 4:28Speaker 2: out his latest decision for publicity. Rich Paul insisting the
- 4:36Speaker 2: process is not about attention. It is not about attention,
- 4:41Speaker 2: saying Lebron is simply taking his time, the time needed
- 4:45Speaker 2: to make the right basketball decision. Now, this is not
- 4:49Speaker 2: part of it. He did not include a wink wink,
- 4:51Speaker 2: nod nod. That was not included. But that is a
- 4:53Speaker 2: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Rich
- 4:57Speaker 2: Paul says, Lebron James is not taking his time in
- 5:02Speaker 2: free agency here in his forties to get attention. He's
- 5:07Speaker 2: waiting to make the right basketball decision. So which way
- 5:11Speaker 2: are you leaning on this one? Captain Obvious. I've got
- 5:15Speaker 2: Harley Davidson, Bellevue Hospital, and Chihuahuah and we will combine
- 5:23Speaker 2: all of these things together and we are going to
- 5:26Speaker 2: have a big bowl of lucky charms. That's what we're
- 5:29Speaker 2: gonna have. So a Rich Paul telling us that Lebron
- 5:34Speaker 2: is not seeking attention in free agency is premium top
- 5:39Speaker 2: shelf irony, is it not? Paul's complaining about the rumor
- 5:46Speaker 2: mill of the NBA rich Paul the agent. It's kind
- 5:50Speaker 2: of like Starbucks complaining about coffee. Wouldn't make a lot
- 5:54Speaker 2: of sense if Starbucks said, you know, we're really anti coffee,
- 5:57Speaker 2: Well your Starbucks, Well, I know we're star We don't
- 6:00Speaker 2: support Covey. Why don't you support Covey, Well, we just
- 6:02Speaker 2: don't support it. Well, okay, you're an agent. And Lebron's
- 6:06Speaker 2: entire career has been all about the rumor of the speculation.
- 6:09Speaker 2: All I said, oh, we don't support that. Really, it
- 6:12Speaker 2: is the literal lifeblood of the NBA, and many agree
- 6:16Speaker 2: it's much more interesting than the regular season and even
- 6:19Speaker 2: most of the playoffs. But let's be real here. Lebron
- 6:22Speaker 2: he knows the landscape. He's fully aware of the landscape
- 6:26Speaker 2: and the large part of the musical chairs game has
- 6:29Speaker 2: already ended, and Lebron, if you've not notice, hasn't signed
- 6:34Speaker 2: with anybody. He could have decided this weeks ago if
- 6:38Speaker 2: you just wanted to get it over with, didn't want
- 6:40Speaker 2: to get it over with. Instead, he's simply enjoying a
- 6:43Speaker 2: nice drive in the slow Lane. And what road is
- 6:46Speaker 2: he cruising down? Oh, that's right, Glory Road. Lebron loves
- 6:49Speaker 2: going down Glory Road. And is Harley Davidson, which, oh,
- 6:52Speaker 2: by the way, he named a tention hog. That's what
- 6:56Speaker 2: he did. You know that? Yeah, because I made it up.
- 6:58Speaker 2: You didn't know that. I'm assuming if he had Harley Davidson,
- 7:00Speaker 2: Lebron would name it attention. Hockey's favorite streaming service must
- 7:04Speaker 2: be peacock because he's strutting and shimmering and he's got
- 7:09Speaker 2: his feathers in the air everywhere. That look at me
- 7:12Speaker 2: mating dance from Lebron. And meanwhile, you've got Cleveland, Miami,
- 7:20Speaker 2: the Warriors and the Sixers who are all standing there
- 7:24Speaker 2: in a semi circle, and it's like, what's going on?
- 7:28Speaker 2: They're like at the zoo and they're confused. But we're
- 7:30Speaker 2: at the zoo and I don't know what we're looking at.
- 7:32Speaker 2: I don't understand. It does not make a lot of sense.
- 7:34Speaker 2: What is going on here. The entire league schedule Think
- 7:37Speaker 2: about this, The entire schedule of the NBA is on
- 7:41Speaker 2: pause right now. They don't want to make the schedule
- 7:45Speaker 2: because the TV people are like, well, we got to
- 7:47Speaker 2: get a certain number of Lebron games. Well, we don't
- 7:50Speaker 2: know where Lebron's gonna play. Well, therefore you got to wait.
- 7:54Speaker 2: So the whole thing's on hold. There, like Lebron's scheduling
- 7:57Speaker 2: his own solar eclipse. And he's he's not just picking
- 8:01Speaker 2: a basketball team, Lebron, he's choosing the moment. He's choosing
- 8:07Speaker 2: the moment, making sure every single camera is locked on
- 8:12Speaker 2: Lebron's throne. Now, meanwhile, turn the patch to the business
- 8:18Speaker 2: of football. That would be the NFL. So we've learned
- 8:23Speaker 2: that Roger the Dodger Goodell, Roger Goodell, is expected to
- 8:26Speaker 2: receive another massive contract extension from the NFL, with multiple
- 8:32Speaker 2: owners believing a deal will be completed at the next
- 8:36Speaker 2: league get together. They have quarterly meetings in the NFL,
- 8:39Speaker 2: and then it'll be done soon. So if you didn't
- 8:41Speaker 2: see this, perhaps not Rod Goodell's contract. His contract runs
- 8:47Speaker 2: through March of twenty twenty seven. But the owners there
- 8:52Speaker 2: they want him locked up long before the contract expires,
- 8:57Speaker 2: and so there should be not much of a negotiation.
- 9:01Speaker 2: He'll get whatever he wants and they'll move on and
- 9:04Speaker 2: that'll be that. The question, what message, what message of
- 9:08Speaker 2: the NFL owners sending by already plotting to extend Commissioner
- 9:13Speaker 2: Roger Goodell. So this one is rather simple. They're not
- 9:19Speaker 2: really sending a message. They're sending a dividend statement. Is
- 9:25Speaker 2: what the owners are doing here. Dividend statement. That's what's
- 9:28Speaker 2: going on here. Extending Roger Goodell is kind of like
- 9:33Speaker 2: renewing Netflix. You don't really love Netflix. I don't know
- 9:37Speaker 2: anyone it loves Netflix. They have new content every month,
- 9:41Speaker 2: and so you're like, all right, I'll sign up again.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Why not? What the hell? Goodell not exactly a visionary
- 9:48Speaker 2: as an NFL commissioner. I don't think anyone would say that.
- 9:51Speaker 2: He is more of a stabilizer. And billionaires, the robber barons,
- 9:56Speaker 2: the aristocrats love stabilizers more than they love oxygen. They
- 10:01Speaker 2: really love it. And as they say at Bellevue Hospital
- 10:05Speaker 2: in Manhattan, do not perform surgery on a healthy patient.
- 10:11Speaker 2: And so in the eyes of the owners of the
- 10:12Speaker 2: NFL is a healthy beast. The monster is healthy there,
- 10:18Speaker 2: and Goodell is the league's noise canceling iPods. Is what
- 10:23Speaker 2: he is are the AirPods. He's those AirPods that you
- 10:27Speaker 2: just you don't hear anything other than what you're listening to.
- 10:30Speaker 2: And so he absorbs all the static and all the
- 10:34Speaker 2: background noise, and so the owners hear nothing win in doubt,
- 10:38Speaker 2: blame Roger Goodell. He's the ultimate designated pinata, is what
- 10:43Speaker 2: he is. And why would you replace a pinata if
- 10:47Speaker 2: the pinata never breaks but the kids are swinging at it,
- 10:50Speaker 2: the kids know they're swinging. It doesn't break ugly as
- 10:55Speaker 2: a duct tape, but it works.
- 10:58Speaker 3: You know.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Let's say you taped it up and gotten hit, just
- 11:01Speaker 2: hasn't fully broken and all that stuff. So within eighteen
- 11:05Speaker 2: game season that's coming in a couple of years, eighteen
- 11:07Speaker 2: game season, a label labor kerfluffle type situation that's coming up.
- 11:15Speaker 2: You've got multi billion dollar TV deals that will have
- 11:20Speaker 2: opt outs in them in the next couple of years,
- 11:21Speaker 2: so they can renegotiate. And Goodell will be celebrating his
- 11:27Speaker 2: twentieth year on the job. Twenty years on the job.
- 11:32Speaker 2: And the reason he is able to continue that is
- 11:35Speaker 2: because he is a human meat shield and guarantees that
- 11:41Speaker 2: for the NFL owners, everything full systems go, everything's good
- 11:46Speaker 2: to go.
- 11:46Speaker 4: All right.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Now, last word to college football, we go college football. Now,
- 11:52Speaker 2: I generally try to ignore most of the press conference season,
- 11:58Speaker 2: which is going on right now. These teams, these leagues
- 12:01Speaker 2: get together and they got a big part of the
- 12:03Speaker 2: yearly tradition media Days and the Southeastern Conference, all the
- 12:08Speaker 2: big conferences have a get together. They for all the
- 12:10Speaker 2: coaches in and it's just a seminar of sportscliche. Dot
- 12:15Speaker 2: com is all it is. And every once in a
- 12:18Speaker 2: while I get suckered. And I did one about Dion
- 12:21Speaker 2: Sanders a couple weeks back. And the latest example would
- 12:25Speaker 2: be about Kentucky football. Now, you're never supposed to talk
- 12:28Speaker 2: much about Kentucky football because it's a basketball school. Who
- 12:31Speaker 2: the hell cares? Right, So the new Kentucky coach, will Stein,
- 12:37Speaker 2: who the f is at will Stein? Now he has
- 12:41Speaker 2: already made headlines at SEC media Days, and he got
- 12:45Speaker 2: my attention. I got my attention. So what is this about?
- 12:50Speaker 2: He answered a question on why why he believes that
- 12:55Speaker 2: the long dormant Kentucky Wildcat football program can win big?
- 13:02Speaker 2: And the new coach did you see this? You did?
- 13:04Speaker 5: Not?
- 13:04Speaker 2: Okay? Good? So the new coach came out with a
- 13:06Speaker 2: very blunt, confident response. Three words. What did he say?
- 13:12Speaker 2: Did he say? Pray to Jesus. No, he didn't say that.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Did he say obvious blatant cheating. No, he didn't say that.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Did he say sugar daddy? Now, No, he didn't say that.
- 13:24Speaker 2: The new coach said, because of me. Because of me,
- 13:29Speaker 2: he said, Kentucky entering the upcoming college football season, they
- 13:36Speaker 2: have replaced the guy that had been there for seemingly forever,
- 13:39Speaker 2: Mark Stoops, the brother of Bob Stoops. And so Mark
- 13:44Speaker 2: Stoops out and this guy Stein, will Stein is in.
- 13:49Speaker 2: He was the Oregon offensive coordinator and now he takes
- 13:54Speaker 2: over there in Kentucky. He then, after the quote got out,
- 13:59Speaker 2: he attempted to clarify, to put the toothpaste back in
- 14:03Speaker 2: the tube, attempt to clarify the remark, said he was
- 14:07Speaker 2: not being arrogant. The new coach at Kentucky said he
- 14:10Speaker 2: was not being arrogant, but confident in his coaching staff,
- 14:13Speaker 2: saying he believes Kentucky is a semble the right people
- 14:17Speaker 2: and culture. It's the culture club to elevate that sad
- 14:21Speaker 2: sack football program. All right, So the question you got
- 14:24Speaker 2: coach will Stein saying he wasn't being arrogant when he
- 14:29Speaker 2: answered a question saying that Kentucky can win big because
- 14:33Speaker 2: of him. What's your verdict on this one? So, welcome
- 14:38Speaker 2: to the chambers. It's the court of malor. Welcome down
- 14:42Speaker 2: to the courthouse. Here the court of mallorar And after
- 14:44Speaker 2: a minutes long deliberation of the situation, the verdict here
- 14:50Speaker 2: on Kentucky coach will Stein. Will Stein not guilty of arrogance, No, no, no,
- 14:57Speaker 2: He's guilty of delivering a a throwback coaches version of
- 15:03Speaker 2: a nineteen eighties early nineties WWF slash WWE promo. That's
- 15:10Speaker 2: what this is. Claiming that the Wildcats, a basketball school
- 15:14Speaker 2: in Kentucky, Kentucky Watkcat can win big because of me,
- 15:20Speaker 2: because of me, immediately became the story in Southeastern Conference
- 15:27Speaker 2: media day activity. Now, technically he didn't disrespect anyone. He
- 15:33Speaker 2: just overdosed on bravado, too much bravado. And it's like
- 15:39Speaker 2: he contacted our guy Femi in Minnesota. He said, Hey,
- 15:44Speaker 2: can I get some extra confidence via the uber eats? Okay, sure,
- 15:48Speaker 2: I'll be right there. It'll take me many many days
- 15:50Speaker 2: to drive from Minnesota to North Carolina because they gotta sleep.
- 15:53Speaker 2: But Femi's on his way with extra conference. Now you
- 15:56Speaker 2: mentioned so the whole arrogant thing. You know, it's not aerigins.
- 16:00Speaker 2: It was a man trying. Will Stein, trying to manifest destiny,
- 16:07Speaker 2: to manifest success. Like he read one chapter of The Secret,
- 16:14Speaker 2: ask believe and you shall receive, and that's what he's
- 16:17Speaker 2: going for. Now. He did go out. He praised the
- 16:19Speaker 2: offensive line. He called it the big Blue Wall. That's
- 16:22Speaker 2: a cute little nickname in the trenches. There the offensive
- 16:25Speaker 2: line for Kentucky. And this was performative chest thumping, like
- 16:33Speaker 2: thumper is what this was against. He's going against the
- 16:37Speaker 2: big time schools Alabama, LSU, schools like that in the
- 16:40Speaker 2: Southeastern Conference. So Will Stein, the new coach of Kentucky,
- 16:45Speaker 2: in my head, he was like chihuahuah marking his territory
- 16:50Speaker 2: at SEC media days, Kentucky engagement numbers from this kabuki
- 16:55Speaker 2: theater or off the hook so good. It always works
- 16:58Speaker 2: the kabuki theater. He got a lot of agement there,
- 17:00Speaker 2: became a trending topic. And it's already higher the training
- 17:04Speaker 2: numbers than their win total last year, which is not hard.
- 17:07Speaker 2: And so coach Stein, now he didn't strut in like
- 17:10Speaker 2: Rick Flair, the nature boy styling and profile, and didn't
- 17:14Speaker 2: do that didn't have the first coat on, didn't have
- 17:17Speaker 2: the sunglasses and all that. Now this is the setup.
- 17:21Speaker 2: We all know it. And then we'll get into college
- 17:24Speaker 2: football when this starts getting going here before you know it,
- 17:27Speaker 2: you win at Kentucky. If will Stein can walk the
- 17:30Speaker 2: walk he talked to talk even go out there and
- 17:33Speaker 2: walk the walk, then he's a prophet and he's like
- 17:38Speaker 2: me related to no Stradinas. I don't know if he
- 17:40Speaker 2: knows you know, if he knows him or not. No
- 17:43Speaker 2: Straudenas I know, no Stretius I of course related to
- 17:46Speaker 2: no stradamis is what I meant to say. But this
- 17:48Speaker 2: is gonna if it doesn't work out, it's gonna bird
- 17:51Speaker 2: dog him, right, I said, well, you're the guy that
- 17:53Speaker 2: said it. We're gonna win because of me, Right, because
- 17:57Speaker 2: of me, we're gonna win. It is the Ben Mahlor

- 21:25Speaker 2: We got a great quote from Rich Paul and we
- 21:27Speaker 2: love to parse the words. We love to parse the words.
- 21:32Speaker 2: And Rich Paul saying Lebron is not doing this for attention,
- 21:37Speaker 2: which means he's doing this for attention as I understand it.
- 21:41Speaker 2: So there is that. And we have instant feedback from
- 21:45Speaker 2: the malar militia, which is always fun, always fun. Before
- 21:49Speaker 2: we get to the reaction though, the vote of the people.
- 21:51Speaker 2: With hundreds and hundreds of votes here, the votes are
- 21:55Speaker 2: the poll survey. Thing is all done here and with
- 22:00Speaker 2: vote buy the people for the people. Now the top
- 22:03Speaker 2: four finalists. We voted the champion Marcel in Brooklyn in
- 22:08Speaker 2: the studio. He won the vote of the judges, So
- 22:10Speaker 2: congratulations to Marcel. We also have the People's Champ the
- 22:14Speaker 2: final four Christy in Kansas, Nimbot and company did a
- 22:19Speaker 2: great job in bonus time, Ohio Al and Dick and
- 22:24Speaker 2: Dayton and Marcel in Brooklyn, and after all the writing
- 22:29Speaker 2: ballots and all the voter fraud were done. With all that, congratulations,
- 22:36Speaker 2: So the People's Champ Ohio Al and Dick and Dayton upset, Upset, Upset, upset,
- 22:43Speaker 2: the dynamic duo who rocked the house in Newport, Kentucky,
- 22:48Speaker 2: that great Cincinnati meet and at Ohio Al always a
- 22:52Speaker 2: wise man, Ohio Al. So you know what, I'm gonna
- 22:54Speaker 2: record this. He did record it, he sent it in
- 22:57Speaker 2: a lot of you didn't hear it because you weren't
- 22:58Speaker 2: at the event that we did hid in Kentucky. And
- 23:01Speaker 2: so good job by Ohio and Dick and Dayton. And
- 23:04Speaker 2: it literally came down just a few votes that decided it.
- 23:07Speaker 2: Marcel neck and neck with Dick and Dayton and Ohio Al.
- 23:13Speaker 2: Christy did a great job Nimbod as well, So congratulations
- 23:16Speaker 2: to everyone who participated. So there is one winner in
- 23:20Speaker 2: terms of the People's Champ, Ohio Al and Dick and Dayton.
- 23:23Speaker 2: The vote among the judges again went the way of Marcel,
- 23:30Speaker 2: So do what you want with that. That is the situation.
- 23:34Speaker 2: Anthony and Anaheim, who never calls the show, says, f
- 23:37Speaker 2: them newbies, good attitude. Eileen in San Francisco says, Lebron,
- 23:43Speaker 2: play golf and drink fine wine. Elsewhere, that northern elsewhere,
- 23:48Speaker 2: the northern California. You privileged elitist warrior fans hate you.
- 23:53Speaker 2: You suck well, buckle up, Eileen. I heard the same
- 23:57Speaker 2: thing from the Laker historians. We don't want Ron, we
- 24:00Speaker 2: love Kobe, we don't want Lebron. Well, Lebron stayed and
- 24:04Speaker 2: didn't leave, and he stayed, and he stayed, and he stayed.
- 24:06Speaker 2: He just, oh my god, even forced the dummies with
- 24:09Speaker 2: the Lakers, that idiot that ran the team, that drafts
- 24:12Speaker 2: his kid who can't play. Chip and the qu says
- 24:15Speaker 2: a plus on the opening Malley monologue. I have just
- 24:18Speaker 2: one question for these shows, distinguished panel. There are no
- 24:22Speaker 2: stupid questions, just stupid people. Yeah, what's the the chances
- 24:26Speaker 2: that I Chip in the Cues ever find himself a
- 24:30Speaker 2: woman who loves, cherishes and worships him as much as
- 24:33Speaker 2: Lebron does of himself. Yeah, that's impossible, that's not that's
- 24:40Speaker 2: not gonna happen. So just buckle up, bukaroo. That's the
- 24:46Speaker 2: reality of the situation. So I wanted to mention this.
- 24:51Speaker 2: A lot of buzz and the media media a musings
- 24:56Speaker 2: actually relate to this story. So there was a high
- 24:59Speaker 2: profile dismissal that a lot of the media dorks are
- 25:03Speaker 2: all excited about it. So ESPN finally got rid of
- 25:05Speaker 2: that race baider, Ryan Clark, who somehow lasted eleven years
- 25:10Speaker 2: making everything a racial issue. He lasted there, and I
- 25:14Speaker 2: guess he got let go. The part of the story
- 25:16Speaker 2: which everyone's all buzzing about is he got let go
- 25:18Speaker 2: on air and I was reading our old morning guy
- 25:24Speaker 2: Klay Travis. I guess the claim is that they the
- 25:28Speaker 2: people were at OutKick have the story. They followed the
- 25:32Speaker 2: proper channels, they contacted, they found out Clark was getting whacked,
- 25:36Speaker 2: and so they contacted the PR people in Bristol, Connecticut,
- 25:41Speaker 2: and then like right away, they pulled them off the
- 25:43Speaker 2: air because I guess they didn't want didn't want that
- 25:46Speaker 2: getting out. And then the claim they're making is it
- 25:49Speaker 2: was they then leaked it to their preferred media dork
- 25:52Speaker 2: reporter to get it out there. So there's that, And
- 25:56Speaker 2: how do I relate to this. Well, I was also
- 25:58Speaker 2: let go on the air of years ago right here,
- 26:03Speaker 2: different management, so I can talk about it. The statute
- 26:05Speaker 2: of limitations has been let go. But people are like
- 26:08Speaker 2: making it seem like, oh my god, this is the
- 26:09Speaker 2: worst thing ever for Ryan Clark, Oh my god, how's
- 26:11Speaker 2: he going to recover? Dude, it's life. I've been let go.
- 26:16Speaker 2: As you've heard the show. I'm not very good at this.
- 26:17Speaker 2: I've been let go many different ways from radio places
- 26:20Speaker 2: i've worked over the years and other jobs i've had.
- 26:22Speaker 2: There's no good way. There's no good way. There are
- 26:26Speaker 2: better ways, but there's no good way. But we were
- 26:28Speaker 2: on the air. It was January nineteenth into the twentieth
- 26:33Speaker 2: I remember the exact date of twenty oh nine, so
- 26:36Speaker 2: seven over seventeen years ago, and I was in the
- 26:40Speaker 2: old studio. My producer was Bergie greg Berg by Karen
- 26:43Speaker 2: Kay with me. We're doing the show, and the New
- 26:46Speaker 2: York Post had a memo about a bunch of changes
- 26:51Speaker 2: that were going to be taking place, and we did
- 26:54Speaker 2: the math. We connected the jigsaw puzzle pieces and we
- 26:57Speaker 2: were getting whacked and we're still on the air. Finished
- 27:00Speaker 2: the show, and Burgie did freak out. He lost his
- 27:04Speaker 2: mind a little bit. I said, don't worry. Everything will
- 27:07Speaker 2: be okay. And he's got a great job. He's like
- 27:09Speaker 2: a management weasel now, Burgie, so he's been doing that
- 27:11Speaker 2: for a long time. Life keeps going, jobs keep coming exactly,
- 27:16Speaker 2: do other things. I'm sure he can do a podcast
- 27:19Speaker 2: no one will listen to and I'll be fun. And
- 27:22Speaker 2: I imagine he's going. I don't think he's going to
- 27:25Speaker 2: not get some kind of buyout. I would imagine he'll
- 27:28Speaker 2: get some big buyout. And that guy was earning like
- 27:31Speaker 2: two million dollars a year. I don't feel bad for him.
- 27:34Speaker 2: I mean, and I didn't really get offen. People were like, well,
- 27:37Speaker 2: you should be celebrating. I'm not celebrating. I don't really
- 27:39Speaker 2: celebrate people getting fired. I don't do that generally speaking.
- 27:42Speaker 2: And suddenly I didn't watch him. I just hit I
- 27:46Speaker 2: knew what he was about, and I don't like that
- 27:48Speaker 2: kind of commentary, so I just hit the mute button
- 27:50Speaker 2: and I turned the channel. I never watched the thing
- 27:52Speaker 2: he said. After the first couple of times, I saw
- 27:53Speaker 2: the ridiculous crap that Ryan Clark was in. I didn't
- 27:56Speaker 2: watch it because who cares? It's not you know, I
- 27:59Speaker 2: don't need to say I know where he's going, I
- 28:01Speaker 2: know his agenda and I'm not going there, so I
- 28:04Speaker 2: just ignored it. So there's that. Go the phones, Retired
- 28:08Speaker 2: callar line. Retired callar line, Anthony in Anaheim on the
- 28:13Speaker 2: retired caller line, Hello Anthony and Anaheim.
- 28:19Speaker 7: What's going on there?

- 36:25Speaker 2: name came up on the Fifth Hour podcast the other day.
- 36:29Speaker 2: What else do we have? A FEMI? With J J
- 36:32Speaker 2: McCarthy as his answer? His answer, Malard prop guy, says
- 36:36Speaker 2: Anthony in Anaheim. Look at Antony. I didn't know he
- 36:39Speaker 2: was a Ram fan. Look at that he's got the
- 36:41Speaker 2: Ram jersey on. Robbie the Mariner fan says the answer,
- 36:45Speaker 2: Ben is an unemployed douche. All right, thank you. I
- 36:49Speaker 2: would rather be an employed one. Yeah, I got you.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Eileen in San Francisco says thoughts and prayers to Anthony
- 36:56Speaker 2: and Anaheim's wife fair enough in Roseville, Minnesota, says Spencer Rattler.
- 37:05Speaker 2: I've taken a few calls from the Spencer Rattler mafia. Oh,

- 38:02Speaker 2: I completed the NFL leading seventy seven passes, the receivers
- 38:05Speaker 2: running hitch routes in twenty twenty five. That would be
- 38:08Speaker 2: Bo Nicks of the Denver Broncos, who led the NFL

- 38:43Speaker 2: you know, some of the acts. It took a little
- 38:45Speaker 2: while for this thing to come to life, and a
- 38:47Speaker 2: lot of people signed up at the very last minute,
- 38:50Speaker 2: as usually happens to day. Scoop, We actually had too
- 38:52Speaker 2: many acts, didn't We had like a good amount, but
- 38:56Speaker 2: not a great amount for a while, and then you
- 38:58Speaker 2: did a great job. For those who don't know, Jayscoop,
- 39:01Speaker 2: you swear you didn't use AI with You were the
- 39:04Speaker 2: music producer behind Marcel and Brooklyn's win. He won the
- 39:08Speaker 2: vote of the studio and you were behind that. You
- 39:12Speaker 2: no AI right if you were accusing you of the illegal
- 39:14Speaker 2: activity that did not happen, and.
- 39:18Speaker 5: I will even prove it in the future. We did
- 39:21Speaker 5: a couple of Zoom meetings and essentially I had the
- 39:25Speaker 5: thirty six lines that we were going over, and I
- 39:29Speaker 5: had to have him go over at like a billion times.
- 39:32Speaker 5: I showed you, actually, I sent you the video of
- 39:35Speaker 5: all the stems that I had on my logic logic
- 39:39Speaker 5: pro x that I had to go through and try
- 39:41Speaker 5: to find the ones that would would work. And I
- 39:44Speaker 5: have a really awesome bunch of bloopers or outtakes. I mean,
- 39:49Speaker 5: obviously you know from listening to Marcel's calls, you would
- 39:52Speaker 5: understand that probably ninety five percent of what he did
- 39:56Speaker 5: with bloopers.
- 39:57Speaker 2: Oh absolutely it was. It was amazing. Marcel's never sounded
- 40:02Speaker 2: better and you ended up winning it. Tremendous work yet
- 40:05Speaker 2: again by Jay Scoop and his team. Just an awesome performance.
