  Speaker 1: things and our Friday show is still late on a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Thursday night in the West, but we head into a
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Friday Friday, Friday.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Friday, yeah, oh yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: And our lead this hour from the Valley of the Sun.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It was billed as an NFC West Barton Berner and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: it actually did turn out to be a bit of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a Barnon Burner here, Sam Darnold and the Seahawks versus
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. As Spaccoli pointed out, he said, well,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you're doing the show, Ben, because you're gonna
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: watch it so we don't have to.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: And yeah, yeah, I did. Into the Amazon.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: The iconic al Michaels, the Great Al Michaels still calling
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: NFL games with Herbie college football guy pretending to be
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: an NFL guy. Kirk Kirk Street, the failed Ohio State quarterback.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if you watched this game, probably not.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: We were watching it, so, as Spaccoli pointed out, you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: would not have have to.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: And it looked like this was going to be.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Blow out city, blow out city for the team from
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: And then it wasn't as they screwed things up, played
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: with their food, and it came down to the bitter end.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Jason Myers lined up for a fifty two.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yard field goal in a tie game as time expired
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: through the uprights. That is a kicker for the Seattle
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: football team and Sam Darnold. You know it's not a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: big game because Sam Darnald had a good stat line
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: two hundred and forty two yards and a touchdown. Seattle
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: gagged up a big lead then had to rally to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: get by the Cardinals.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Thanks to a.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Special teams blunder by Arizona twenty three to twenty year final.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And if you did watch Benny versus the Penny, we
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: thank you, gave you the Seahawks and you might have
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: won a couple of bucks on that Seattle blew a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: fourteen point eight fourth quarter lead but still win their
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: eighth straight game over the Rivals.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: There some rivalry. Eight straight wins.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Now for the team from Seattle, the twelfth Man smiling
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: as they take down the Cardinals. I know somewhere our
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: friend no Studinis is smiling ear to ear and JJ
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and Rantin and crying Craig and all those guys. But
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room. And
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: so that is where we go. And let us discuss
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the question who gets to wear the shame bell for
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals losing at home?
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Losing at home in a game they fought back in
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: but still lost. I've got halatosis, wi fi and mojo potatoes.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: All right, we'll.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Combine all of those things together, and we are going
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to deep fry some bird brains, is what we're going
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to do. Now, before we get into this, let's hear
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: from some of the key participants. Let's start with the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: coach Gannon, not Rich Gannon, Jonathan Gannon.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: They're the coach of the Cardinals there.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Who points out the Cardinals have not gotten it done completely,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: not yet anyway.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: We just haven't put it together like I think we're
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: capable of putting it together.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Oh, those are just words.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: It's my job to make.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Sure that we put it together.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: So that's what'll be working on.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: You should become a talk show host. All I have
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: is words, all right. So to answer the question, who
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: gets to wear the shame bell for the Cardinals losing
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: at home, it's a it's not a large shame bell,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: it's a kid size shame bell.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It goes to Kyler Murray. So come on down, Kyler. Congratulations,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: front of the line. Shame shame, shame, shame, shame, shame. Yes,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: ring the damn bell, Kyler. You know what he looked
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: like the first three quarters of this game. A tiny dancer.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: He looked like a tiny dancer out there for three
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: quarters days, didn't confused for seventy five percent of the game.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Just your run of the mill forty six million dollars
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: a year quarterback. Now alligator arms. Murray was on a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: nice tropical vacation swimming in a cauldron of suck soup
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in this game, like the guy was wearing floaties out there,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: averaging for the first three quarters of this game. He
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: was averaging four yards per pass attempt going to the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Four yards. That is a handoff in disguise.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Had no touchdowns, not one, but two interceptions, one of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: them given right back by the Seattle defense that picked
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: off Kyler Murray then fumbled it and gave it right back.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: But a passer rating of forty one point seven for
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: alligator arms Murray. That is going to the fourth quarter.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: That is not quarterbacking. That is a burger. A turn
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: burger is what that is. And let's not forget not one,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: not two, not three, not four, five six sacks for
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Six.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Now, good football people will tell you that a sack
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: is half a turnover. So we've done the math. Now,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: if you look at the points given up based on
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: turns a turnovers four points, A sack is two points,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: so that works out to twenty points. Using Malormath that
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray cost the Cardinals by playing hot potato.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: With his own body and the duke and all that that.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Is halatosis football is what that is halatosis football. Bad
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: breath clears out the stadium faster than a sewage leak
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: at a Washington commander's game. Now you know he didn't
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: make a few plays late. He did make a few
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: plays late. Kyler Murray, you don't get credit for doing
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit at the very end.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: You don't.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Right, It's like if I do a talk show, if
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the show I didn't prepare, you know, some guys do this.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: But if I showed up and did nothing for the
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: first three hours of the show, and then I went
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: into the boss and said, well, you know, the first
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: three hours were really bad. But that last hour, man,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: I just killed it. I said yeah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: But the boss said, well, no one was listening because
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you were so bad. I said, I know, but I
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: was really good the last hour. Okay, you were good
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the last hour. Congratulations. So it doesn't work that way.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. And the first three quarters count,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and so yeah, the shame bell belongs to Kyler Murray.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Put it around your neck, and that's not all bad news.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: It's not all bad news because Kyler can wear that
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: when he is on the stream. There fortnite. He's probably
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: doing that right now and he'll have some bling bling there.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: So Kyler continues to be a massive headache for the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Arizona football team.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Here is that Kyler Murray in his own words, Let's
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: hear from the little fella.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Here's alligator Arms Murray talking about why the Cardinals offense stinks.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Wasn't it wasn't clicking, was not clicking, you know, pretty
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: pretty much getting physically dominated whole first half. And you
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: know it's frustrating because you watch the defense go out
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: there and get stuff out the stuff and stop and
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: offensively just like we just couldn't get it going, you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: couldn't get going. Credit to their defense, but we gotta
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: make We just gotta make more plays. We gotta we
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: gotta gotta show up and be ready to go, you
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: know what I mean. It's it's uh like we're just oding,
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And it's it's it's taking
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: too long.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Obviously there's the resilience of the team. Is you love
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: to see it and you she like, give yourself a
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: chance to win the game at the end.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Um what.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: He just ended on okay um um, I mean, I
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: don't know who edited that, but they should win sucking
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: kind of award anyway. All right, So here's here's the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: deal on that. That's if I'm the headline rider at
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the tabloid. If I'm the tabloid, they don't have tabloids
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: in Arizona. But if I was riding the headloid headline,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray calls out coach, team not prepared for games.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Boom done, boom done. That's the headline right there. That
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: is that is it? All right?
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Moving on?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: So staying with the losers. Staying with the losers. Cardinals
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: wide receiver Marvin Harrison Junior, who is.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Built like a Donnis. Built like this guy, what a stud.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: It doesn't play like it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: He was serenaded by the fans there in Arizona with
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: boo flat for the first half of the game, and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: he deserved. He had one catch on five targets for
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: eight yards eight yards. This was the guy at the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: draft y'all told me was going to redefine the wide
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: receiver position. And then in the second half Marvin Harrison
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Junior took some smelling salts and arrived better late than ever.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: He had five catches on five targets in the second
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: half for fifty eight yards and a touchdown. Now, one
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of the interesting things that the broadcast. Now, I watched
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: it because there's really nothing else going on, and I
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: plausibly get paid to watch this crap.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: So I did.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And Kerbstreet was on the TV with Al Michaels and
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: he had some spicy comments on the Thursday night broadcast.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: He said, Marvin Harrison Junior, this is in the first
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: half when Harrison was stinking at a time he can't stink.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: And Herbstreet had this rant where he said that Harrison
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: is uberly talented, just not playing with confidence. It's like
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: his mind is paralyzing his ability to be the receiver.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: He can't be close.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Quote all right, question, let's jump off on that question.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Does Marvin Harrison Junior's mind paralyzing him work for you
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: as a get out of jail free card for Marvin Harrison?
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: So to me, that's not analysis, that is an excuse.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And Herbstreet basically gave him the get out of jail
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: free card, right, that's when he gave it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Right, if your brain is freezing, you up your a
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: lemon and you gotta play this on you won't get
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: a lement. You got a lement.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You are the Wi Fi router or router that only
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: works if you unplug it for thirty seconds and then
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: reset it. What good is that if you're mentally weak?
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: That is part of sports. It's not the most important thing,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and physically is more important than mentally, but it's a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: big part of it. And that's in the scouting report.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: And right now, Marvin Harrison Junior is the uber. Each
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: jumbo bag of fries that you ordered on that app
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and you're all excited about it, looks really good. You're hungry,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: you want the jumbo fries, got a little seasoning on
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the fries, some ketchup with it. But by the time
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: it shows up, the fries are cold and soggy, because.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: You know that's not good.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: You know want that.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: And the NFL generally don't forgive plays off. And I
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: get that.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: This is a fellow Ohio State buck guy, Herbstreet's essentially
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: giving giving Marvin Harrison Junior a permission slip. And to that,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I say, Phoey, the late great Bill Russell, the winningest
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: athlete in North American sport, the old Celtic Bill Russell,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: who said concentration and mental toughness are the margins of victory,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: all right, So concentration and mental toughness. If Marvin Harrison
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Junior doesn't have that, then he's on the sauce aisle
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and he's serving up weak sauce.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Weak sauce in the NFL is really tasty for other teams.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Cornerbacks smell that, and it's like blood in the water
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: for a piranha, and they'll get you know, get in your.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Head and then rattle you and you'll disappear.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: And now Harrison did play better in the second half,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: but this is a guy, Marvin Harrison.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Junior, that looks looks the part, I mean, it sounds
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: the part. But so far most of his career has
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: been stuck in thick Louisiana mud, that thick mud.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Needless to say, you have to be both mentally and
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: physically ready.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Ready to go there. And if you, if.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Your mind is messing up and paralyzing you, then the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: NFL will will bury you.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Let's go back to Kyler Murray one more time.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Here's Kyler Kyler on the lack of communication with his
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: wide receiver.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: Take on, is he drudge ball like there's nothing. You know,
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: I've seen more of case football one hundred times. I'm
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: not I'm not again. I told y'all throughout the week
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: I wasn't worried about it. Continue to continue to go
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: to him, obviously, and he came up clutching the stretch.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: You know, that's part of football. That's part of football.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: I got. I got the most confidence and Marv I
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: will continue to have the confidence and more of We
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: just gotta go back to the drawing boys and be better.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Yes, the answer to every question. We have to be better,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: all right?
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Last word to the winner's side, which is not as
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: good a story. You know, when you do talk radio.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: The loser story is much better than the winter story.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: But we'll go to the winner side. We'll pacify our
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: friends in Seattle, the Pacific Northwest. So the question, were
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you impressed with the Seahawks getting a divisional road win?
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Were you impressed? All right? So I'm gonn play a
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: wheel of fortune. I'm gonna have two letters. Can I
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: get an N? And can I get enough? I want
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: an N?
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: And and oh all right and and oh okay, there
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you go. U Now, h Impressed is not a word
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I have in my lexicon for this particular performance. Impress
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: implies style points. You get none, right, you get none,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: you get a passing great congratulations, you know, listen, tough love.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: I'll give you a passing grade. You hand it in
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: on time. You handed it in on time. You just
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: got it in before the end of the game. Now
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: maybe you scribble something down. You write something down about
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: how you love Mojo potatoes at Shakey's Pizza Parlor, and
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: you know there's okay. I'll give you a C plus.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: This was a shaky ending to the game. Seattle was favorite.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: As we said on the road, they blew a two
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: touchdown lead and then got bailed out by this fugazy
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: kickoff rule that gift wrapped the game winning field goal.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: And I know it's been around for a couple of years.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: They tweaked it this year, and I still don't really
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: understand what's going on. I guess that the ball had
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: to hit past the twenty It hit at the twenty
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: one yard line, and because it hit at the twenty
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: one yard line, the ball came out to the forty
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: yard line. So if it comes out to the forty
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: yard line, you're essentially one pass play away from being
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: in field goal range, which is exactly what happened here. Now,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, if you listen to and watched Benny Versus
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the Penny on YouTube this week, we put it out
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: these both these quarterbacks, Kyler Alligator Arms Murray and Sam Donald,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: who disappears and sees ghosts. Not a big supporter of
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: either one of these guys. And Sam Donald's stats look fine,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: which tells you, as we said, it's not a big
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: game because in big games he gets tight, took to syndrome, he.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Didn't have any picks, he had one fumble but got
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: the ball back.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Watching watching Sam Donald and Kyler Murray is really testing
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the boundaries for me. But but Donald in particular, it's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: like a ferris wheel quarterback.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Up down, up, down right. You get a nice view
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: for a second you're like, oh, this is kind of cool.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Look at that. I can see the skyline over there.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: It's kind of neat. Man, that's that's great. And then
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: the next second you're you're looking at the parking lot.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: You're like, oh, that sucks.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: And that's that's what the Sam Donald experience is like.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And the biggest concern forget forget even Sam Donald here,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: because Seattle, if they're gonna do anything this year, it's
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: not because of Sam Donald. You forget the whole fugazy kickoff.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Think it's the defense, dummy, it's the defense. Mike McDonald's
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: claim to fame. He's supposedly defensive guy. Right, That's how
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: we got to jump and that is going to be
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the salt and pepper of the Seattle Seahawks. And that
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: defense was so good for seventy five percent of the game,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: but not one hundred percent?
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Are they not in shape?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Are Is there conditioning issues for the Seattle Seahawks here
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that need to be addressed here? Because they allowed the
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: low League Cardinals to slice and dice them in the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Arizona got forty five percent of their total
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: yards in the fourth quarter, seventy percent of their points
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: came in the final quarter, and the last three possessions
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: were a total debacle for the Seattle defense. That is collapse.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: It's a collapse. The Seahawks ran out of gas defensively.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: It looked real rough around the edges, and that was
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: supposed to be this intimidating Seattle defense and it was
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: for the first three quarters and instead they're out there
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: letting the Cardinals offense with alligator arms, marched down the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: field three straight times. So again, just to put a
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: ball on this, I am not impressed. It's a passing grade.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: That's it. I don't give you a sticker.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: You're not getting a sticker, no star, no gold star
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: next year name, no puffy sticker, no gold star. And
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: you're not invited to a pizza party. But you did
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: get a win. Congratulations there you go.

  Speaker 4: And we settle in to the fun here.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: And we settle in to an interesting conversation that I
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: did not have on my radar, and this popped up
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: in the Amazon some chatter, some chatter by talking heads
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: ex jocks about mister mister unlimited, mister unlimited, and let's
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: just say this bleue the doors off the algorithm. So
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: if you didn't see this or hear about it, perhaps not.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Chances are you were not watching the Seahawks defeat the
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Cardinals in the Thursday night NFL game. But during that broadcast,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: the career of Russell Wilson was analyzed. This after he
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: was demoted to back up status by the Giants. Now
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez, that's a Hall of Famer, and Richard Sherman.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: They went back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: But let's start with Richard Sherman, and we have some
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: sound here, so Richard Sherman, Richard Sherman. They went back
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and but Sherman noted that the success that Russell Wilson,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I remember he played with russ in Seattle.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: I mean we most of us know that, but maybe
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: forgot or whatever.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: So they were teammates together back in the glory days
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: of the Seahawks, part of the greatest era in franchise history.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: And Sherman pointed out that the real reason the Seahawks
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: won was it because of Russell Wilson. Well, take a listen.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: I think you got to judge his career off win
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: the lead.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Jeneral Boom was there.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: He had a legendary defense and all time defense, and
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: how much success he had. And then without that legendary defense,
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: the success he had, without that legendary defense, he's been
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: four and eleven, seven and eight on in three to
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: start with the Giants. Like that's he was a winning
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: football player in Seattle, and people said, hey, winning his
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: football player, all this good stuff, all these accolades, and
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: now you get to go on your own and you
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: get to Crove. Hey, I'm this great quarterback. I'm this
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: guy that's going to be dominant, and it just hasn't
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: worked out that way.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, shots fired, So that is a pretty good spot.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: We'll pause right there. Let's discuss the question did Richard
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Sherman cross the line? Did he cross the line with
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: this seahawk on seahawk criticism of Russell Wilson. So I've
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: got big old chunks, Wikipedia and peacock, and we will
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: to make a.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Delicious soft pretzel, just oh so good, fresh hot, little
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: salt on top there, yummy, yummy to my tummy, tummy.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: So number wa number did he cross the line? Let
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: me see here ixnay on the line? Cross A okay, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: no no no. I'm shaking my head.
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: No.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: This is not church.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: We're not at the tabernacle, We're not at temple. This
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: is football. Sherman is telling the truth. One of my
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: great complaints here from the bully pulpit is that so
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: many of these athletes get in the broadcasting and they
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: cover for the players that are playing today. You strip
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: away that defense and what is Russell Wilson a whole
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: lot of mediocrity with a capitol M. And the man's
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: resume is held up by Richard Sherman, Cam Chandler, Earl Thomas,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, that iconic Seattle Seahawks defense.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: In that in that era and when you peel back
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: the scab, and that's part of the story. Richard Sherman
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: and Russell Wilson are the personification of what we call.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Work friends, not real friends, not real friends, work friends.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: And Sherman has never hidden that he didn't like Russell
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Wilson's act. And we'd done I go back in my
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: archive of the notes that I keep for the show,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and we've done multiple monologues over the years since they
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: stopped working together about the dislike that Sherman had with
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. He's never shied away from airing the fact
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: that he didn't like Russell Wilson. I remember when Richard
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Sherman was playing for the forty nine ers after he
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: left Seattle, and they would play each other twice a year,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: and Sherman just had nothing nice to say about Russell Wilson.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: And so here we are, here's an opportunity, and like
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: a great running back. I know Sherman was not a
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: running back. He was a defensive but a running back
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: gets the ball, and you've got the B gap, okay,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: and you've got the A gap.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Do you go A gap? B gap?
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: A gap B gap? Now if you go to the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: B gap, you get stuffed at the line of scrimmage.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: You see daylight on the A gap, boom right through
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the A gap.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: And that's what he saw.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: An opportunity, and he went for all right, and he's
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: stirring the pot again and the numbers back up. Richard Truman,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson without that defense is not very good right now.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: Now, I love it to me. This is comfort food
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: for talk radio.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: It's an old fashioned beef stew with big old chunks
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: of bitterness floating right at the surface.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Where's the beef, where's the right here? Here's a beef
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: right here, baby, that's your beef. And Richard Sherman.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I like the fact that not only is he taking
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: a shot at his former teammate Russell Wilson, he's also
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: taking advantage of it by elevating himself. Sounds like some
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I do a YouTube show with every week that make
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: sure to make it all about them, right, So Sherman's
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: it's a two for one daily double, because not only
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: is Sherman unloading on Russell Wilson, who he doesn't like,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: he's also patting himself on the back and his boys
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: for by belittling Russ, which a lot of people see
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: is obnoxious. And I wouldn't disagree. I would not disagree
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: that's obnoxious. It's also true. It's also true Russ is
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: essentially a microwave dinner quarterback. Now, what is a microwave
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: dinner quarterback? Okay, here's what you put him.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: In the right environment. I had the right environment and
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: looks great.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: It's kin when I was a bachelor back in the
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: day and i'd get those TV dinners, I'd microwave dinner,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: and you know, once in a while you.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Cook it perfectly and you're like, man, this is so
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: freaking good, dude, Like that little apple tart thing is wonderful.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: It's not too hot, the corn is good, the turkey's
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: all right, and you take away the packaging and the preservatives.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: And all of a sudden you're left with a plate
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: of garbage.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: And Wilson, who was marketed as the winningest quarterback in
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Seattle and all that. But in truth, it is a
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: byproduct of the lesion of Boom, and every man, woman
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: and child knows it. Certainly Richard Sherman is aware of it.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: He's not just pulling this out of nowhere. It's like
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the facade mansion. I was lucky enough for the last
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: couple of years to have access to Universal Studios, and
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I took full advantage. And we'd wander around the back
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: lot at Universal where they make all the movies and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the TV shows, and you'd see these big mansions and
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: these big New York City downtowns, and they're like just
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: so awesome, and then you walk behind them. They look
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: great from the front, and then you'd walk behind them
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and they're just it's a bunch of plywood, a bunch
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: of nothing. That's Russell Wilson without that defense. Bunch of nothing,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: bunch of plywood. And Sherman to me, he didn't cross
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the line. Of course, I have a talk show to do.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: He didn't cross the line. He just poked the bear.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: And I don't mind poking the bear. Poking the bear
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: is kind of fun. In this case, is a washed
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: up quarterback who's gonna be sitting on the bench and
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: occasionally walking around.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Holding a clipboard. But wait, there's more page two.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: So, staying with the theme of the hour, a bona
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: fide Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez from Kansas City in Atlanta, well,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: originally from Huntington Beach.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: But Tony Gonzalez got the ball rolling on the Amazon.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: He did. He was the one that started this.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Now we played the Sherman stuff first because that's a
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: teammate on teammate things, so that's a bigger deal.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: But this is also pretty good. This is also pretty good.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: So Tony Gonzalez said that he wanted Russell Wilson to
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: stop playing. Take a listen. Do you think we've seen
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: the last of Russell Wilson? Honestly, I hope we have.
• 29:48
  Speaker 10: And I say that because I just looking at him
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: in his career, his legacy, like he talked about, if
• 29:54
  Speaker 10: ever there was somebody who played himself out of a
• 29:57
  Speaker 10: Hall of Fame, it's Russell Wilson. And I say that
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: because look at what he's what's happened ever since he
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: left Seattam, when he was in sadt he was the man.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: He was making these good plays.
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: He won a super went to two of them, but
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: as soon as he left there, he went to Dinverse
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: on that big old deal.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: They paid him thirty nine million dollars to leave. He
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: goes to Pittsburgh, plays.
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: There one year, he's out of there, and now he
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: goes here and has three games. I just don't know
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: if it's gonna get any better. And I don't want
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: to see him on a sideline holding a clipboard.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, So the money part of that is, if ever
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: there was somebody who played himself out of the Hall
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: of Fame's Russell Wilson question.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: All right, let's jump off on that question.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Give me your school of thought on Tony Gonzalez, who
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: is in the Hall of Fame, saying that Russell Wilson
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: played himself out.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Of the Hall of Fame. So my response is, I've
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: got two words I wrote on my scorecard.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Horse feathers. That is horse feathers is what that is?
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. And let me say this for those of
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: you in the back of the room, was never ever
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: on the Hall of Fame track ever, never, not in Seattle.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: It's really not in Denver, not in Pittsburgh, not in
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: New York. The guy was good at times, but never great.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Good at times, but never great. Middle of the pack
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks don't get to the Hall of Fame.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: They don't. He rode shotgun. Russell Wilson, the legion of
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: Boom Boom.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Was driving. They were driving. They were in the big
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: chair right And if you want my evidence, you can
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: go to Pro Football Reference, or I recommend the Wikipedia
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: page of Russell Wilson. He had as many All Pro
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Team appearances as I had, and you had none. None,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: not first team, not second team. Gooseg gooseg zero votes
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: for the Most Valuable Player Award. No one ever voted
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson for the MVP.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Didn't happen? Did he make an All Decade Team?
• 31:48
  Speaker 9: No?
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: No, he didn't. You know why? He was never elite,
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: and elite players get to the Hall of Fame. He
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: was never elite. He was just there. He was just there,
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: like the side table near your sofa.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: He was just there.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: And don't give me the Pro bowls, I sidbody, well,
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: he meant.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: A bunch of Pro Bowls? What P damn newde What
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: P damn new? The Pro Bowl is dodgeball, now tug
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: of War and a skills Carnival.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: That is the Pro Bowl.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like getting into Harvard because you had
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: good penmanship. Congratulations, it means nothing, means nothing.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: And the Pro Bowl.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Remember when they actually played the Pro Bowl game, and
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: like one year they're every quarterback except for like one
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: or two skipped out and so they were going to
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: like the third, fourth alternatives and eventually like Vince Young,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: who was terrible, made a Pro Bowl because they had
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: to get somebody in there.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: He was like a replacement for a replacement for replacement.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: But at his peak, Russell Wilson led the NFL in
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: touchdown passes one time in twenty seventeen. That's it, period stopped.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: That is the only meaningful category. He led the NFL
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: in one category one year. Otherwise, he's known for selling
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: us on Nano bubbles and mister Unlimited.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: On social media. The Hall of Fame is supposed to
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: be reserved for players who make history, who change history
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: or direct history. That's not Russell Wilson.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: So again, Tony Gonzalez saying Russ played himself out of
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame is factually incorrect. Russ was never
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. He wasn't all right, Russell
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Wilson was the quarterbacking equivalent of a timeshare presentation. You
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: ever been to a timeshare presentation? I got hornswaggled in
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: the one in Vegas. I'll never do that again. But
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: you go in there and they look all flashy. Man,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: well this is a really good deal.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: My god. I can take the family on vacation every year.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: I go to Hawaii, I go to Florida, I go
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: to the Bahamas. Man, that's good.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: But you walk out of that timeshare presentation and you
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: walk out of that room and you realize, Man, I've
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: just been I've just been hornswoggle. I mean, that is
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: some skullduggery that happened to me right there.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: All right, final point? We go now to Cleveland. Go
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: to Cleveland?
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Why because we like talking about bad question. Brown's backup
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: quarterback Shouldur Sanders shoulder. Sanders recently said that he thinks
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: he could step on the field today, on the field
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: today and play better than some of the quarterbacks who
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: are getting playing time around the NFL.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: How do you process that? All right? So I thought
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: this was amusing. I understand that athletes have to have
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: big egos and kind of the way it works. You
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: have to have confidence in yourself, and that's fine.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: But Shuldiff Sanders should be working over at NBC because
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: he is as proud as a peacock. He is as
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: proud as a delusions of grandeur. A little self confidence
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: is perfectly acceptable.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: I think we can all agree on that goes a
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: long way in life, goes a long way in life.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: However, this is like saying that you're ready to headline
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden at Midtown Manhattan, just above Penn
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Station there before you've even done a karaoke night the
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: local Moose Lodge.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, what are you doing?
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: All right?
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Bombastic bravado. That's what it is. That's what it is.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: And social nurisators should focus on beating out Joe Flacco
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: or Dylan Gabriel in Cleveland before you start dunking on
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: half the league, considering he is currently QB three QB three. Also,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Bailey Zappi last we heard, is running the scout Scout
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: team there in Cleveland, so play the numbers game. Does
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: that mean that Dylan Gabriel could make some noise in
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: the league because Joe Flacco's not making much noisier anyway?
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: For now, it's like it's like announcing your the heavyweight
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: champion of the world before you've ever even stepped into
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: the ring to fight anybody, Like, what are you doing?
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: But that's life, that's life in the fast lane, Life
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: in the fast Lane.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 36:04
  Speaker 10: It's Mallard.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: How about that?
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: To the third degree?
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: This is one Big Ben gets grilled Koblo.
• 36:14
  Speaker 11: Cowboys All Pro defensive back Ron Bland returned to practice
• 36:18
  Speaker 11: on Wednesday. He has missed the last two games, during
• 36:20
  Speaker 11: which the Cowboys pass defense has looked pretty awful.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Ben, do you think Bland's return will make a big
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: impact for Dallas?
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: Well, big No, It's like going down to the beach
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: and taking a cup of sand and say, okay, I've
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: cleaned the sand off the beach.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Like it's nice that Bland's going to play. He is
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: a good player, assuming he is out there this weekend.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: But no, the Cowboys are cooked. They need three or
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: four guys like mister Bland to be any good next.
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: Jayden Daniels made it clear to reporters on Wednesday that
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: he quote feels good and definitely wants to play on
• 36:53
  Speaker 11: Sunday against the Falcons, But it's up to the doctors. Now, Ben,
• 36:57
  Speaker 11: since the Falcons kind of suck, would be a better
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: idea to take the cautious route and put Mariota back
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: out there.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: I know if he's able to play, if Daniels is
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: healthy and he's clear. No, you only get seventeen games
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: a year. I'd much rather watch.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: If I'm a fan of the Washington football team, I'd
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: much rather watch Jayden Daniels than Marcus Mariota. Now, could
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: they beat Atlanta? They being Washington with either quarterback? Yes,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: you can't coach scared and all that.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Next, you alluded to it.
• 37:26
  Speaker 11: Earlier, Mets broadcaster Gary Cohen put himself in hot water
• 37:29
  Speaker 11: after expressing bewilderment that Cubs infielder Matt Shaw missed a
• 37:33
  Speaker 11: game to attend Charlie Kirk's funeral. Cohen said, quote, the
• 37:36
  Speaker 11: thought of leaving your team in the middle of a
• 37:37
  Speaker 11: race for any reason other than a family emergency really
• 37:39
  Speaker 11: strikes me as weird.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Ben, does Cohen deserve the backlash?
• 37:43
  Speaker 11: Well?
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: The thing I will say, Gary cone is a great
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: broadcaster for the Mets I enjoy watching when I watch
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: the Mets games on the TV MLB package, But it's
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: just like like what do you what do you even
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: bother going there?
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: You know, It's like I don't understand, like why you
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: would go down that road that in tennis they call
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: that an unforced era coop, you know what I mean?
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: It's everything political is polarizing and all that. So it's like,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I just I don't get why you would go.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Down that road.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: If it's like if you sell cheeseburgers, sell cheeseburgers, don't
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: sell chicken. People want cheeseburgers, so bad job by?

  Speaker 11: And then moving on the last thing I'm gonna mention here,
• 45:19
  Speaker 11: ben We have a documentary. It's a nature documentary and
• 45:25
  Speaker 11: the reason I bring it up because it sounds a
• 45:28
  Speaker 11: little bit different than your typical nature documentary. It's called
• 45:34
  Speaker 11: Nightmares of Nature and that is on Netflix Tuesday, September
• 45:39
  Speaker 11: thirty at that premierees and it's basically a docuseries shot
• 45:44
  Speaker 11: like a horror film, but it's you know nature. So
• 45:47
  Speaker 11: it's like frogs, crocodile, snakes, raccoons facing off against nature's
• 45:51
  Speaker 11: real life horrors. And so if you're a fan of
• 45:55
  Speaker 11: You Know Nature Documentaries, is a little spin on it
• 45:58
  Speaker 11: on Netflix's on Tuesday.
