- 0:00Speaker 1: Ding Dong, it's our numb bird two. Well, the ding
- 0:05Speaker 1: Dong would be the quarterback of the Raiders. A dud
- 0:07Speaker 1: of a game in the late TV window on Monday night,
- 0:10Speaker 1: the Chargers led from soup to nuts over the team
- 0:14Speaker 1: from Vegas. What jumps out to you about the three
- 0:17Speaker 1: interception performance by Gino Smith and his Raiders' home debut? Also,
- 0:22Speaker 1: how weird was it to see minority owner and Fox
- 0:25Speaker 1: broadcaster Tom Brady sitting in the Raiders coaching booth as
- 0:30Speaker 1: Gino Smith drowned on the field. We'll discuss that. And
- 0:34Speaker 1: on the other side, is this Jim Harbaugh Chargers defense
- 0:38Speaker 1: the real deal? Can you make that statement after only
- 0:41Speaker 1: two games of the season? That and more? Right now
- 0:43Speaker 1: here it is give it up for our number two.
- 0:47Speaker 1: It's Vegas, Baby, It's all about the Vegas. Welcome. In
- 0:52Speaker 1: the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show.
- 0:56Speaker 1: We are in the air everywhere, Burn baby, burn the
- 1:02Speaker 1: clock and attempt to peak your curiosity, coast to coast,
- 1:06Speaker 1: border to bort and beyond on the mast and heart
- 1:09Speaker 1: stoppingly literally as cardiaccidentley heart stoppingly powerful microphones of fs
- 1:15Speaker 1: are emmundating live from the pursuit the trivial pursuit of
- 1:22Speaker 1: jock talk from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios,
- 1:26Speaker 1: as approved by piller Up Phil and he knows. This
- 1:29Speaker 1: portion of the Ben Malo Show made possible in part
- 1:31Speaker 1: by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,
- 1:34Speaker 1: ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
- 1:36Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
- 1:39Speaker 1: freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
- 1:43Speaker 1: like mobile tire installation ti iraq dot com the way
- 1:47Speaker 1: tire buying should be. So our lead this hour as
- 1:50Speaker 1: we continue our all night coverage of Monday Night football.
- 1:55Speaker 1: I was told that the marketing campaign was what happens
- 1:57Speaker 1: in Vegas stays in Vegas, and less it's broadcast on television,
- 2:02Speaker 1: then other people see it. See that's the problem. And
- 2:05Speaker 1: that was the problem with the second half of the
- 2:08Speaker 1: Monday night doubleheader. The first game was not aesthetically pleasing, however,
- 2:14Speaker 1: the finish was rather dramatic. Tampa Bay, down by five,
- 2:17Speaker 1: matriculated the ball down the field. Baker Mayfield completed a
- 2:21Speaker 1: fourth and ten with a fifteen yard run. They got
- 2:23Speaker 1: down got a rushing touchdown with less than ten seconds
- 2:26Speaker 1: to go. They won the game. That's exciting what happened
- 2:29Speaker 1: in the second half. There was just no juice. There
- 2:33Speaker 1: was no juice there. Now, some of that is a
- 2:36Speaker 1: credit to the Chargers who played lockdown defense, and they
- 2:40Speaker 1: also got a couple of touchdowns. If you didn't see
- 2:42Speaker 1: the game, perhaps you missed it. I don't know what
- 2:45Speaker 1: you were doing staring at the wall watching some baseball,
- 2:48Speaker 1: watching the fight and Fills beat the Dodgers. That hard
- 2:52Speaker 1: to believe the Dodger bullpit would screw things up, huh. Anyway,
- 2:55Speaker 1: Justin Herbert passed for two hundred and forty two yards
- 2:58Speaker 1: and a couple of touchdowns and the Chargers they get
- 3:02Speaker 1: it done. Twenty to nine. It's like a Hollering James Special.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Twenty to nine the final over the Raiders on Monday night.
- 3:12Speaker 1: So the Chargers improved to two and oh, the Raiders
- 3:14Speaker 1: dropped to one and one. As LA coach Jim Harbaugh
- 3:19Speaker 1: beating his mortal enemy and his longtime enemy bee a
- 3:24Speaker 1: Las Vegas coach Pete Carroll. They've been rivals going back
- 3:27Speaker 1: to the USC Stanford days and then the Seattle Seahawks
- 3:31Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers, and they've haven't gone against
- 3:34Speaker 1: each other on the gridiron in over a decade, but
- 3:37Speaker 1: now they have in just a few hours ago. The
- 3:39Speaker 1: win goes to the team from LA. The Chargers did
- 3:43Speaker 1: lose the Mac attack Khalil Mack. Oh my aching elbow. Yeah, well,
- 3:51Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I can tell you though, that
- 3:54Speaker 1: the left elbow, it would appear as going to cause
- 3:57Speaker 1: Khalil Mack to miss an extended period of time. He
- 3:59Speaker 1: left late in the first quarter and he went to
- 4:02Speaker 1: the locker room. He did return and he had his
- 4:04Speaker 1: arm in a sling. It's generally not a good sign.
- 4:09Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question what jumps out to
- 4:14Speaker 1: you about the better story in losing locker room? What
- 4:17Speaker 1: jumps out to you regarding Geno Smith and his performance
- 4:21Speaker 1: for the Raiders. Now to put in perspective just how
- 4:25Speaker 1: bad I can give you the numbers. The numbers tell
- 4:27Speaker 1: part of the story. Gino Smith completed a little over
- 4:31Speaker 1: fifty five percent of his passes for one hundred and
- 4:35Speaker 1: eighty yards. He averaged a little over four yards per
- 4:39Speaker 1: pass attempt, and was sacked three times. The Raiders had
- 4:44Speaker 1: it on a fourth down, needing to get the yard
- 4:48Speaker 1: to gain to keep a drive alive, Keep the game alive,
- 4:50Speaker 1: and Gino Smith threw the ball away out of bounds.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Who does that? Gino Smith? He had let me seew
- 4:58Speaker 1: many touchdowns? He had to see what is less than zero?
- 5:02Speaker 1: Do we have that? No touchdowns? And not one, not two?
- 5:07Speaker 1: Three interceptions? And again I didn't play in the NFL,
- 5:11Speaker 1: so I don't know if I'm qualified. Off to check
- 5:13Speaker 1: with Ryan Clark, but I think that blows. But it
- 5:16Speaker 1: was a pirate there, she blows Gino Smith. Wow, all right,
- 5:22Speaker 1: So that's what it's home debut, home debut and one
- 5:26Speaker 1: of the only games the Raiders play where there's more
- 5:28Speaker 1: Raider fans than fans of the other team. They were
- 5:31Speaker 1: a couple dozen Charger fans, but mostly Raider fans right
- 5:34Speaker 1: The Raiders stadium famous for the hostile takeover. It is
- 5:37Speaker 1: a destination situation. Your team goes to Vegas, your fan
- 5:42Speaker 1: base takes over the Raider fans seats because the season
- 5:45Speaker 1: ticket holders sell the tickets because they make a killing
- 5:48Speaker 1: on the secondary mark. Anyway, So what jumps out to
- 5:51Speaker 1: you about all this. I've got fifty cent family guy
- 5:54Speaker 1: and Michael Myers. We'll keep it all in entertainment and
- 5:57Speaker 1: we'll put all those ingredients together. We're gonna make you
- 5:59Speaker 1: about Ushka's favorite Matza ball soup, is what we're gonna do.
- 6:02Speaker 1: So number WA, I said, Number W. So, I have
- 6:08Speaker 1: seen this act for years. I have been to the circus.
- 6:12Speaker 1: I have seen the circus acts. It is not my
- 6:16Speaker 1: first dipe. It is not and I chuckle. I also
- 6:20Speaker 1: was a little upset because I did take the Raiders
- 6:22Speaker 1: on Benny versus the Penny. If you saw the YouTube
- 6:24Speaker 1: show this week. I thought the Raiders could at least
- 6:26Speaker 1: keep it close, and they did keep it close. I
- 6:29Speaker 1: was hoping that Gino Smith would avoid pooping his pants
- 6:33Speaker 1: in this game, but alias that was not the case.
- 6:36Speaker 1: But you know he has it in him. And I've
- 6:39Speaker 1: mentioned this earlier in the show. But going back to
- 6:40Speaker 1: when Gino played in Seattle, and I would spar with
- 6:43Speaker 1: no Stradinas, who lives in not no stra Damas. That's
- 6:46Speaker 1: a I'm a distant relative of no stra Damas, but
- 6:48Speaker 1: No Stradinis lives in Seattle, and and we would go
- 6:52Speaker 1: back and forth year and I said, this guy is
- 6:53Speaker 1: a turky and no he's not. He's good.
- 6:57Speaker 2: You don't know what you're talking about.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Crying. Craig and all those guys in Seattle and Gino
- 7:02Speaker 1: Smith is garbage. That's what he is. I like, there's
- 7:07Speaker 1: no other way to say it. I'm not being mean.
- 7:08Speaker 1: I'm not being mean. He's not a good NFL quarterback, right,
- 7:13Speaker 1: He's not. And so this idea is something. Fortunately, a
- 7:18Speaker 1: lot of the Raider fan base is kind of level headed.
- 7:20Speaker 1: We had Mike from Tucson called up last hour's big
- 7:22Speaker 1: Raider fan. His kids are giving him a hard time. Dad,
- 7:24Speaker 1: why you're a Raider fan? We don't want to be
- 7:25Speaker 1: Rider fan. And he' said, well, you know. He tried
- 7:27Speaker 1: to explain it to him. But here's the thing, right,
- 7:31Speaker 1: when you know, you know when something is too good
- 7:34Speaker 1: to be true, like you just know it. Like like,
- 7:37Speaker 1: for example, the Raiders haven't had a quarterback. I don't
- 7:41Speaker 1: count car because he's average. He's not good. Derek Carr
- 7:46Speaker 1: was not good his average. So the Raiders haven't had
- 7:48Speaker 1: a top level quarterback since rich Gannon. That's like a
- 7:54Speaker 1: generation to go. So uh so, when you know, going
- 7:58Speaker 1: in when something seems too good to be probably, so
- 8:00Speaker 1: the Raiders went out and acquired a quarterback, a veteran
- 8:03Speaker 1: quarterback that had started a bunch of games in the
- 8:05Speaker 1: NFL and the Seattle Seahawks. When you when you break
- 8:09Speaker 1: it down, the Seattle Seahawks traded Gino Smith their starting
- 8:12Speaker 1: quarterback there QB number one. They traded traded him, right,
- 8:18Speaker 1: and then signed Sam Darnold, who also stinks. So what
- 8:24Speaker 1: does that tell us, right? NFL teams don't trade good quarterbacks.
- 8:29Speaker 1: They don't. And Gino Smith is not even a jag.
- 8:34Speaker 1: It's not that JAG's just a guy. He's not that,
- 8:37Speaker 1: just a not that not just a guy. All right.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Geno is an EI S type of quarterback. He's an
- 8:43Speaker 1: enigma in shoulder pads. That's what Geno Smith is, an
- 8:46Speaker 1: EIS type of quarterback, enigma in shoulder pads. It's the
- 8:50Speaker 1: Geno cycle, right, this is the Geno cycle. I've seen it.
- 8:55Speaker 1: We know how this goes. It's like the seasons of
- 8:58Speaker 1: the year. Right, you go through the different parts of
- 9:01Speaker 1: the calendar. And you know, if you live in a
- 9:03Speaker 1: place that actually has different seasons, you know, fall, beautiful
- 9:06Speaker 1: time of the year, and then it gets into the
- 9:08Speaker 1: nasty winter time and then you have the spring, and
- 9:12Speaker 1: you go through all the different seasons. Right, So here's
- 9:15Speaker 1: the Geno cycle. If you're new to the Gino Smith game.
- 9:18Speaker 1: For six games, Gino Smith will be a top shelf
- 9:22Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. That's right, top shelf NFL quarterback. For six games,
- 9:26Speaker 1: Gino will either be elite level quarterback or very very
- 9:30Speaker 1: good six games. For six games, Gino Smith will be average.
- 9:36Speaker 1: He will be filler. He'll be just a guy. He'll
- 9:41Speaker 1: be out there. He won't cost you the game, but
- 9:43Speaker 1: he's not going to lead you to a victory. For
- 9:44Speaker 1: six games, the rest of the time, Gino will be
- 9:49Speaker 1: the worst player you have ever seen. Gino will be
- 9:53Speaker 1: the kid that tries out for the football team that
- 9:56Speaker 1: you say, hey, the band's over there. That's Gino Smith, right,
- 10:00Speaker 1: That's how he is. And Sunday in Vegas, he was
- 10:04Speaker 1: in the third Monday night, not even Monday night. He
- 10:08Speaker 1: was in that third category, right, the Raiders first home
- 10:11Speaker 1: look with mostly Raider fans, the first home look there
- 10:15Speaker 1: on Monday night, their shiny new quarterback. They opened up
- 10:18Speaker 1: on the road last week, and you could not have
- 10:22Speaker 1: a worse opening night of your Vegas residency. You could
- 10:26Speaker 1: not have three interceptions. Four years he threw the ball
- 10:31Speaker 1: away on a fourth down. You gotta keep possession to
- 10:34Speaker 1: have a chance to win the game. He threw the
- 10:35Speaker 1: ball out about. You know he did that because he
- 10:39Speaker 1: I'll throw He was like, oh man, I'm gonna throw
- 10:40Speaker 1: another interception. We just throw it out about. So it
- 10:42Speaker 1: was so good. Now, I have been told I don't
- 10:45Speaker 1: live in Vegas, so some of my guys in Vegas
- 10:48Speaker 1: can back me up on this. But I've been told
- 10:49Speaker 1: in the history of Las Vegas, the single worst residency
- 10:54Speaker 1: in Vegas history was fifty Cent, that it was the
- 10:58Speaker 1: worst of the worst. I don't know why it was
- 11:00Speaker 1: the worst of the worst. I've just been told. Of
- 11:02Speaker 1: all the performers that have gone to Vegas to try
- 11:05Speaker 1: to entertain people, no one was quite as bad as
- 11:07Speaker 1: fifty cent, the worst in the history of that city
- 11:11Speaker 1: that has had just about every two bit entertainer when
- 11:13Speaker 1: they're washed up, go to Vegas and try to make
- 11:15Speaker 1: some extra money, right and so Gino like a bad
- 11:18Speaker 1: street musician or one of those people that shake you
- 11:22Speaker 1: down on Fremont Street when they're dressed up as Elmo.
- 11:25Speaker 1: You know, one of those people. So like a bad
- 11:28Speaker 1: magician trying to pull the quarter out and they can't.
- 11:30Speaker 1: They futs it around and all that stuff behind their ear.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Gino Smith is not a mystery box. He's not you
- 11:37Speaker 1: know what's inside. It's not Jack in the box. It's
- 11:41Speaker 1: Gino in the box. And to quote former Fox Sports
- 11:44Speaker 1: radio personality for about a month before he got a
- 11:47Speaker 1: TV job, the late great Dennis Green, who sat just
- 11:50Speaker 1: down the hall in the old studio and opined about
- 11:53Speaker 1: the NFL, he is who we thought he was, Gino Smith,
- 11:58Speaker 1: he was, and it just this is the first inning,
- 12:02Speaker 1: the first inning of the season. Really is a game
- 12:06Speaker 1: number two. So buckle up, buccaroo, It's gonna be a
- 12:09Speaker 1: bumpy ride, bumpity bumpity bumpity bump with Gino Smith. Gino
- 12:14Speaker 1: Smith is the used car that the Charlatan put a
- 12:18Speaker 1: fresh coat of paint on, put new upholstery on the seats,
- 12:22Speaker 1: and looked really good. You're all excited about it. Mass
- 12:24Speaker 1: smells good, looks good. And the second you pull that
- 12:29Speaker 1: thing onto the freeway, onto the highway, the check engine
- 12:33Speaker 1: light starts flashing like Christmas lights and you're like, holy crap,
- 12:38Speaker 1: what happened? And so this certainly felt less like a
- 12:42Speaker 1: debut a home debut for Gino Smith, and more like
- 12:45Speaker 1: a deja vu, but not the Strip Club for Gino Smith.
- 12:49Speaker 1: We've been there. Now Pete Carroll. We like Pete Carroll.
- 12:51Speaker 1: He famously used the Mallard phone when he was coaching
- 12:53Speaker 1: at USC back in the day, and I've never washed
- 12:55Speaker 1: the phone since. Of course, I like three phones past
- 12:58Speaker 1: that at this particular point. But but there's Pete Carroll,
- 13:01Speaker 1: good old Pete, positive Pete on the sidelines and trying
- 13:06Speaker 1: to trying to work this out. So here is Pete
- 13:09Speaker 1: Carroll commenting on his quarterback throwing not one, not two,
- 13:12Speaker 1: but three interceptions.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Take a liss Three interceptions by the quarterback. That's usually
- 13:15Speaker 2: a non starter. What was the anything that took put
- 13:18Speaker 2: your finger on it.
- 13:20Speaker 3: Yeah, well, he took a couple of shots. You know,
- 13:22Speaker 3: he threw a couple of bombs down there, and one
- 13:25Speaker 3: was on about the two and the other one was
- 13:26Speaker 3: in the end zone, I think, if that's right. Yeah,
- 13:31Speaker 3: the reason that he got there because we had time
- 13:33Speaker 3: to hold the football, so we protected, okay, and we
- 13:36Speaker 3: didn't get the ball thrown underneath. That's that's what I
- 13:38Speaker 3: wish we would have done. I wish we would have
- 13:39Speaker 3: not taken those shots. You know, they looked like, like,
- 13:43Speaker 3: you know, we've had to score quick or something. I
- 13:46Speaker 3: don't feel like that when we plays is the way
- 13:48Speaker 3: that we should ever play. But so we got to
- 13:50Speaker 3: take what's there, and we got to take a look
- 13:52Speaker 3: on the film and I got to see why that
- 13:53Speaker 3: happened like that. I'm just surprised. We haven't looked like
- 13:55Speaker 3: that at all at any time. So it's the first
- 13:57Speaker 3: time that came out.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Coached him in Seattle. He did the same thing with
- 14:02Speaker 1: the Seahawks. He said, what is that. I love the
- 14:04Speaker 1: coach saying, well, the reason we throw those interceptions our
- 14:07Speaker 1: offensive line protected the quarterback. That's why we threw those interceptions.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Who that's great. Let's hear from Geno Smith. I've got
- 14:15Speaker 1: to hear what Gino has to say. Here's Geno Smith. Gino,
- 14:18Speaker 1: You've just thrown three interceptions in your Raiders home debut.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Here's the question. Here the answer this.
- 14:23Speaker 4: Spot decision making, especially the ones where he took shots downfield.
- 14:26Speaker 4: Can you just sort of summarize what took place and
- 14:29Speaker 4: where you were at the you know, in the game,
- 14:31Speaker 4: at the moment and taking those shots, especially the ones
- 14:34Speaker 4: that got picked.
- 14:35Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, the first play of the game, the
- 14:37Speaker 5: play that you know we designed. You know, had had
- 14:39Speaker 5: an open guy, let him a little bit too far
- 14:41Speaker 5: up front, ball gets tipped up, gets interception. You know,
- 14:45Speaker 5: a play that you know obviously you want to have
- 14:46Speaker 5: those plays back.
- 14:47Speaker 1: You can't.
- 14:47Speaker 5: I mean, it's the reality of it. You know, took
- 14:49Speaker 5: a shot to Dante or you know before before the half.
- 14:53Speaker 5: You know, I thought he had a safety on him,
- 14:54Speaker 5: thought he had a shot. You know, I gave him
- 14:55Speaker 5: a chance. Obviously didn't work out in our favor. And
- 14:58Speaker 5: then you know the one to Jacobe, you know, had
- 15:01Speaker 5: a DV with his back turned. They're playing Tampa two.
- 15:04Speaker 5: You know, thought I could fit it in there. Obviously
- 15:06Speaker 5: we need to score seven points in that situation. You know,
- 15:08Speaker 5: a field goal would have helped us, but you know
- 15:10Speaker 5: seven points would have put us in a better position.
- 15:12Speaker 5: Bagus tipped up again. You know, I thought I'd put
- 15:14Speaker 5: it in a decent spot where our guy can make
- 15:16Speaker 5: a play. Bagus tipped up, They make a play on it,
- 15:19Speaker 5: and you know we don't get points.
- 15:22Speaker 1: That is a forty million dollar quarterback right there. The
- 15:24Speaker 1: Raiders are paying him forty million dollars to give the
- 15:27Speaker 1: other team the ball, all right, Moving on from that,
- 15:33Speaker 1: So page two here the B squad on esp How
- 15:36Speaker 1: bad were those announcers? Holy crap man Dan Orlofsky. He
- 15:42Speaker 1: must have photos of people compromising goes. Anyway, the B
- 15:45Speaker 1: squad there on ESPN showed Tom Brady shadowing chip Kelly.
- 15:51Speaker 1: The Raiders wrote ton to offensive Cordner, the man that
- 15:53Speaker 1: saw the light at UCLA and ran away from those
- 15:56Speaker 1: gutty little bruins. Get me out of here anyway. Chip
- 16:00Speaker 1: Kelly's now toiling in the NFL. Is the Raiders offensive corner.
- 16:03Speaker 1: There was Tom Brady sitting in the booth and he
- 16:07Speaker 1: had a headset on the whole dale, the whole fing
- 16:10Speaker 1: of a Jake question. How weird was it? How weird
- 16:15Speaker 1: was it to see the minority owner of the Raiders,
- 16:19Speaker 1: the Fox broadcaster Tom Brady's sitting in the Raiders coaching
- 16:23Speaker 1: booth as Gino Smith drowned on television. So this was
- 16:29Speaker 1: peak surreal sports TV is what this was. It was perfect.
- 16:35Speaker 1: It was deserving is a word I will use. Tom
- 16:38Speaker 1: Brady is the GM by proxy. Every man, woman and
- 16:41Speaker 1: child knows it. Everyone knows this. Tom Brady is the
- 16:44Speaker 1: GM by proxy with the Raiders. He's got plausible the ability.
- 16:48Speaker 1: That's what he wants, right. If the team's bad, it's
- 16:50Speaker 1: not my fault. I'm not the GM. I'm just hanging
- 16:53Speaker 1: out at the country club drinking cocktails and doing my yoga.
- 16:59Speaker 1: So he's got plausible belly. He's there in the room,
- 17:02Speaker 1: he's got the headset on. He's got a bird's eye
- 17:06Speaker 1: view of what's going on from atop the stadium. Tom
- 17:08Speaker 1: sitting there, he can literally smell the suck. Yeah, that's
- 17:13Speaker 1: Raider football, Baby, smell the suck. The commitment to blow
- 17:18Speaker 1: the Raiders. Now, you cannot wash off the silver and
- 17:23Speaker 1: black goo that Gino Smith put all over the field there.
- 17:26Speaker 1: It was all over everything. And listen, this is to
- 17:29Speaker 1: be expected. Tom Brady, mister big shot out there. He
- 17:32Speaker 1: went out and got leftovers. That's not who he wanted.
- 17:37Speaker 1: It's not who he wanted. It's not Tom Brady wanted
- 17:41Speaker 1: Ben Johnson. That's not looking very good either, Ben Johnson
- 17:44Speaker 1: with the Bears, and he got Pete Carroll. Tom Brady
- 17:48Speaker 1: wanted Matthew Stafford to be the Raiders quarterback. He winded
- 17:52Speaker 1: done Stafford at a Montana resort, treated him like he
- 17:56Speaker 1: was the king of the world, and Matthew Stafford said
- 17:59Speaker 1: thanks very much, Tom, I'm not going to play for
- 18:01Speaker 1: you and went back to the Rams, and so he
- 18:04Speaker 1: ended up with Gino Smith the consolation prize. Gino Smith.
- 18:07Speaker 1: That's not team building, that is settling. And Brady, what
- 18:12Speaker 1: he has done is recreate the twenty three, not twenty nineteen,
- 18:16Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, and I believe the twenty twenty two
- 18:19Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. And is that some kind of trailblazer activity.
- 18:24Speaker 1: It's it's like the family guy cutaway Tom Brady's quagmire
- 18:30Speaker 1: in the booth. Giggity giggity giggity giggity right, that's Tom Brady, right,
- 18:34Speaker 1: what have I done? What have I done?
- 18:37Speaker 6: Giggy giggy giget gigeby.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Gino Smith out there sinking in quicksand it's just
- 18:44Speaker 1: so good. The Raiders can't pick up a first down,
- 18:48Speaker 1: or it's so you can't get a touchdown. They got
- 18:50Speaker 1: some first downs, but they have a lot of bass hits,
- 18:53Speaker 1: not any doubles, not any triples out any home Russ
- 18:55Speaker 1: Tom Bradys. They're taking notes like a professor who who
- 18:57Speaker 1: brought the wrong lecture binder and all that, and oh
- 19:00Speaker 1: By the way, how the hell did the Patriots lose
- 19:03Speaker 1: the Raiders? All my guys in the in the Northeast,
- 19:05Speaker 1: what's going on with your team? You lost to that
- 19:08Speaker 1: Raider team, you lost to Gino Smith. If I'm Robert Kraft,
- 19:12Speaker 1: I am throwing up in my mouth that that Patriots
- 19:16Speaker 1: lost to the Raiders with that combination. Man, it's it's
- 19:19Speaker 1: Seahawk cosplay from a couple of years ago, and that
- 19:22Speaker 1: is an indictment on the Patriots. That's a different conversation.
- 19:25Speaker 1: But thisten tom Brady wants to play genius owner, but
- 19:27Speaker 1: he wants plausible deniability, and he's got to stank all
- 19:30Speaker 1: over him. I hope he enjoys that. He's not the
- 19:32Speaker 1: greatest quarterback of all time anymore. He's a former NFL
- 19:37Speaker 1: quarterback who's in very poor broadcaster and apparently a very
- 19:40Speaker 1: terrible GM at the same time. All right, now, final point.
- 19:43Speaker 1: We go to the winners locker room. Quickly, we go
- 19:45Speaker 1: to the winners locker room. Is this Jim Harbaugh Chargers
- 19:48Speaker 1: defense the real deal? Are they the real deal?
- 19:52Speaker 3: So?
- 19:52Speaker 1: I am not sold yet? Okay, I am not sold yet.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Now the jury is still out. The numbers are stunningly
- 19:58Speaker 1: good for the Charges right now. They handed it to
- 20:02Speaker 1: Mahomes in Brazil on that Friday NFL opener. The Chiefs offense, however,
- 20:08Speaker 1: is lacking these spark plugs. They don't have any real playmakers,
- 20:12Speaker 1: and so it's not the same Chiefs of years gone
- 20:15Speaker 1: by right now. And then you go out and you
- 20:18Speaker 1: beat Geno Smith and the Raiders police Gino is child's play.
- 20:24Speaker 1: It's Michael Myers with a NERF knife, is what it is.
- 20:28Speaker 1: You're not as intimidated off Michael Myers with a NERF knife.
- 20:30Speaker 1: You think you can take Michael Myers with a Nerf fifer.
- 20:32Speaker 1: But the Seahawks got rid of him right as we
- 20:36Speaker 1: talked about and all that stuff, and that's all you
- 20:38Speaker 1: need to know. And so now the Chargers do not
- 20:41Speaker 1: have the most difficult schedule. They don't play the Ravens,
- 20:44Speaker 1: they don't play the Bills. But down the line, if
- 20:45Speaker 1: they get to the playoffs, they're gonna have to be
- 20:47Speaker 1: match up with Josh Allen, and if they can hogtie
- 20:50Speaker 1: Josh Allen, if they can slam the door on Lamar Jackson,
- 20:53Speaker 1: which both those guys not as good in the playoffs,
- 20:55Speaker 1: at least Lamar is definitely not as good in the playoffs.
- 20:57Speaker 1: But that's when I will start to buy into the
- 20:59Speaker 1: powder Blue hype. And Justin Herbert, who you know, not
- 21:04Speaker 1: not a fan, you know, not everyone loves this guy.
- 21:07Speaker 1: I've seen this guy sucking big games for several years now.
- 21:11Speaker 1: And I like Jim Harbaugh. I'm a fan of hardball.
- 21:15Speaker 1: And certainly they're playing aggressive, crushing people on defense, and
- 21:21Speaker 1: it's the power hour down at SOFI. They get their
- 21:23Speaker 1: home opener against Coops Broncos next weekend, so that's a
- 21:27Speaker 1: big that's a big turning point game. You win that game,
- 21:30Speaker 1: you start, you start bearing people in the division, and
- 21:32Speaker 1: you start opening up some space if you're the Chargers,
- 21:34Speaker 1: if you can beat the Broncos at home next week,
- 21:37Speaker 1: and at that point maybe you start saying show me
- 21:38Speaker 1: your lightning bolt like my old mentor Hacksaw back in
- 21:41Speaker 1: the day. But until then, eh, yeah, it's a nice
- 21:43Speaker 1: September story. It's a good September story. Wake me up, though,
- 21:47Speaker 1: when they do this in December in January, all right,
- 21:51Speaker 1: then then I'll be okay, Yeah, it's legit. Spen Aller

- 24:02Speaker 1: Let's see what do we have here on the live air. Yes,
- 24:05Speaker 1: you're on the late night drug Tester says, I was
- 24:08Speaker 1: feeling good about fading Poppy's picks until halftime of the
- 24:12Speaker 1: Raiders game. Poppy being only right one out of three
- 24:16Speaker 1: times will send you straight to the poorhouse. Yes, that
- 24:21Speaker 1: is a good way for you to go bankrupt, is
- 24:24Speaker 1: to lose all your money. Scrooge who loves to brag
- 24:27Speaker 1: that he's in the younger demographic in the audience in
- 24:30Speaker 1: the Bay Area, says my girl asked me, Scrooge said,
- 24:35Speaker 1: if I was going to watch the Raiders game. I
- 24:37Speaker 1: said no, because the Raiders will probably lose twenty to
- 24:40Speaker 1: six and Gino Smith will likely throw at least two
- 24:43Speaker 1: interceptions after the final That's right, the Raiders now after
- 24:48Speaker 1: the final score, She asked me how I knew that
- 24:51Speaker 1: would happen. I said, because it's the Raiders, and that's
- 24:55Speaker 1: what the Raiders do. That is what the Raiders do.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Who else do we have? Supermarkets? Ste says my man,
- 25:01Speaker 1: Geno Smith did something very impressive on Monday night. He
- 25:04Speaker 1: threw three interceptions. None of them were The worst pass
- 25:08Speaker 1: he threw all night. That fourth down throwaway was pathetically bad,
- 25:15Speaker 1: and he said supermarket. Seve also says that Danny G
- 25:18Speaker 1: Radio and Roberto. You haven't checked in on Danny G
- 25:21Speaker 1: Radio and Robert, two of the biggest Raider fans I know.
- 25:24Speaker 1: Says Danny G Radio and Roberto are frantically checking to
- 25:26Speaker 1: see if their Geno Smith jerseys can be They ordered
- 25:30Speaker 1: back on Monday that hasn't been shipped last Monday and
- 25:34Speaker 1: hopes they can just outright cancel the order before they
- 25:37Speaker 1: have to actually send it back. It is a problem.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Just Josh from since Sinnati writes and says, Gino Smith
- 25:44Speaker 1: plays quarterback like he's flat broke. I think it's a
- 25:48Speaker 1: geno thing. Let me see what you did. There went
- 25:51Speaker 1: forty million dollars. That's he got more money from the Raiders.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Mentioned that the guy stuck. He's stuck in Seattle. You
- 25:58Speaker 1: trade for him, give him the keys to the franchise.
- 26:01Speaker 1: You gotta pay him more money. And the guy proved
- 26:04Speaker 1: he can't play. Now the Grill Sergeant writes and says,
- 26:08Speaker 1: eight plus plus plus on the mal monologue. I had
- 26:11Speaker 1: to suffer through the Seattle Gino years. I can count
- 26:14Speaker 1: on one hand how many times he look like a
- 26:17Speaker 1: slightly above average quarterback. He blew as a Seattle Sea
- 26:20Speaker 1: Hawk and will continue to blow as a raider now.
- 26:26Speaker 1: Kenneth points out that it still sounds like rice crispies.
- 26:29Speaker 1: He says at the feed the ieheart.
- 26:33Speaker 6: Kenneth the only one who's saying that.
- 26:35Speaker 1: All right, anyone who wants to complain, you need to
- 26:38Speaker 1: know anyone that wants to complain about the quality of
- 26:40Speaker 1: the audio feed on the iHeart app. You can call
- 26:43Speaker 1: right now at eight seven seven ninety nine. Fix you
- 26:45Speaker 1: will do rapid fire. Maybe it doesn't sound like Rice Crispies.
- 26:48Speaker 1: It's possible. It might sound like Captain Crunch. Could be
- 26:53Speaker 1: Captain Crunch. It could be what other great cereals do
- 26:57Speaker 1: we have here? We cheerios? Nobody likes cheerios, Honey, cheerios
- 27:02Speaker 1: are not bad. My dad and my dad and he's dead,
- 27:05Speaker 1: but he loved cheerios. What about Freddy Pebbles?
- 27:09Speaker 9: Not? Yeah?
- 27:10Speaker 1: But aren't they getting rid of all the dies? They're
- 27:13Speaker 1: changing the dies, right, so they're just gonna look like
- 27:15Speaker 1: they're not going to be as bright and all that stuff.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Bill's Monster writes in he says, maybe next week they'll
- 27:21Speaker 1: let Tom Brady suit up, call the plays and sell
- 27:24Speaker 1: concessions at halftime. Don't worry, he says, don't worry, Vegas.
- 27:29Speaker 1: We'll still find a way to lose by double digits
- 27:35Speaker 1: Tom Brady. They're coaching from the box and now though,
- 27:41Speaker 1: calm down. Somehow the Raiders still managed to look like
- 27:44Speaker 1: the Raiders, truly inspiring proof that even the goat can't
- 27:47Speaker 1: save a franchise. Well isn't that that that's got to
- 27:50Speaker 1: be a vote for Belichick, like Tom Brady. Like the
- 27:56Speaker 1: Belichick Brady things already over right, because Belichick went to
- 28:00Speaker 1: he sucked without Brady and then all that. However, Tom
- 28:04Speaker 1: Brady as a general manager and as a coach, to me,
- 28:10Speaker 1: that's not a loss on Pete care That's a loss
- 28:12Speaker 1: on Tom Brady. Do we have that audio? But we
- 28:13Speaker 1: have we have. Here's Pete Carroll commenting on the fact
- 28:17Speaker 1: that Tom Brady was in the But who was in
- 28:20Speaker 1: the box? Tom Brady? Listen to Pete Carroll comment on that. No,
- 28:26Speaker 1: we have it somewhere. We're gonna find it. But Pete
- 28:28Speaker 1: Carroll was asking to make sure it's the right one. Okay.
- 28:30Speaker 1: We want to play the right one. We believe in
- 28:32Speaker 1: We have high standards here. We want to play the
- 28:34Speaker 1: right one. Yeah, because I can't you want to play
- 28:36Speaker 1: the wrong one. The wrong one would be wrong. People
- 28:38Speaker 1: will be upset if we play the wrong ones. We
- 28:39Speaker 1: gotta play the right one. But Pete Carroll commenting on
- 28:42Speaker 1: the fact that Tom Brady, it's it's kind of like
- 28:44Speaker 1: your boss, who's a busy body. All right, Here's here's
- 28:48Speaker 1: Pete Carrole let's see what he had to say.
- 28:50Speaker 2: There was a report that Tom Brady meets three times
- 28:53Speaker 2: a week or so with Chip Kelly, goes over a
- 28:55Speaker 2: film with them. We saw him up in the booth
- 28:57Speaker 2: with the with the headset on. I just was curious
- 28:59Speaker 2: you're thoughts on that level of participation with convert.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not it's not accurate. That's not accurate. If
- 29:07Speaker 3: if that's not accurate, we have conversations. I talked to Tom.
- 29:11Speaker 3: Chip talks to Tom regularly. I mean, we have a
- 29:14Speaker 3: tremendous asset and so, uh, you know, and we all
- 29:17Speaker 3: get along well and we respect each other, and so
- 29:19Speaker 3: we just talk, you know, about life and football and
- 29:23Speaker 3: whatever it comes. And uh, and we he has great insight.
- 29:27Speaker 3: So we're lucky to have him as an owner.
- 29:30Speaker 1: See. The follow up would have been, well, how many
- 29:31Speaker 1: times do you guys talk? Because Pete Carroll said, no,
- 29:36Speaker 1: that's not incorrect, that's not correct. We don't talk three times.
- 29:38Speaker 1: What if they talk five or six times? What if
- 29:40Speaker 1: it's actually more than that? How about that? Right? We
- 29:44Speaker 1: have I think we have people calling up to complain
- 29:46Speaker 1: about the audio feed. Random caller, you're on the These
- 29:48Speaker 1: are on screen calls. Hello, random caller, you're on the air, Hello,
- 29:52Speaker 1: random call Yes, so are you calling the complain? Yeah?
- 29:58Speaker 1: Sometimes when you playing yours one commercial time? Oh really?
- 30:08Speaker 1: All right? All right, well that's it. You sound terrible too,
- 30:13Speaker 1: That's that's not good. Does how does that happen? Some
- 30:17Speaker 1: of this is automated. I think some of this is automated. Yeah,
- 30:21Speaker 1: so there's automation. That's what you want. AI. You fire
- 30:24Speaker 1: human beings, you get AI. That's what happens. Sometimes AI
- 30:28Speaker 1: f's up, and that happens that we have more people complaining.
- 30:31Speaker 1: These are actual callers complaining about the quality of the
- 30:33Speaker 1: audio feed and normally sparkling this. iHeart app is amazing.
- 30:38Speaker 1: But I'm glad you're calling them because we will. Let
- 30:40Speaker 1: me tell you, heads are going to rule. We are
- 30:43Speaker 1: going to let corporate know that we are not going
- 30:46Speaker 1: to stand for inferior audio quality. We are not going
- 30:50Speaker 1: to have high standards here on the Ben Maler Show.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Let's go to Timothy, who's in Portland, Oregon. He's also complaining. Hello, Timothy,
- 30:56Speaker 1: what does it sound? Does it sound like Rice krispys?
- 30:58Speaker 5: Timothy? Oh yeah, snap, crackle and pop.
- 31:01Speaker 3: Ben.
- 31:02Speaker 1: How you doing all right? Uh, well, apparently not good.
- 31:04Speaker 1: If I sound like I'm I'm in a bowl of
- 31:06Speaker 1: rice crispies. You don't believe this guy. Cut wait minute, Lorainy,
- 31:09Speaker 1: you don't believe this guy. He sounds like he's coming,
- 31:12Speaker 1: so clear, Lorenda does not believe you. Oh it sounds
- 31:16Speaker 1: good now, okay.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Right now, it sounds good. But on the I'm listening
- 31:20Speaker 2: to the Iron Heart app.
- 31:21Speaker 4: And it was also Jason Smith.
- 31:23Speaker 5: And Mike Carmen and for the last couple of days.
- 31:25Speaker 1: Oh is this not new?
- 31:27Speaker 2: No, So I decided to because You're like, everyone tell
- 31:30Speaker 2: us if it's bad, And I was like, oh.
- 31:32Speaker 1: You know, well, yeah, let us know how we're not
- 31:35Speaker 1: listening to it. How the hell would we know We're
- 31:37Speaker 1: not actually listening to what we're doing it, So there's
- 31:39Speaker 1: no way we know if it sucks. Oh, thank you, Timmy.
- 31:42Speaker 1: We'll make sure this is fixed right away. In fact,
- 31:44Speaker 1: I'm gonna wake up some corporate weasel right now at
- 31:47Speaker 1: all right, thank you, all right. Yeah. I've been to
- 31:49Speaker 1: the iHeart headquarters in Manhattan, the iHeart building in Manhattan.
- 31:53Speaker 1: They have the master computers of the iHeart network. Is
- 31:56Speaker 1: it sounds really sexy, but it's just these giant it's
- 32:00Speaker 1: like on I forget what floors is on. But it's
- 32:02Speaker 1: in the iHeart Building, which is in Lower Manhattan, which
- 32:05Speaker 1: is not the good part of Manhattan because it's the
- 32:07Speaker 1: old part of Manhattan where the streets don't line up
- 32:09Speaker 1: and it was designed for like horses and crap like that,
- 32:11Speaker 1: so it's really confusing. If you're not from there, you
- 32:13Speaker 1: don't really know what to do anyway. Uh, And it's
- 32:16Speaker 1: just a bunch of service. It's just mostly a bunch
- 32:18Speaker 1: of computer room, you know, the big giant rooms and
- 32:20Speaker 1: like as long as you can see floors of computers
- 32:23Speaker 1: and all that. We more people complaining about the audio.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Let's go to Josh. It's the hour of complaints. Josh
- 32:28Speaker 1: is on Orlando. Josh, what does it sound like? Josh
- 32:31Speaker 1: boots on the ground.
- 32:32Speaker 7: You know what, I'll tell you, Lorena sounds amazing and fabulous.
- 32:35Speaker 7: You sound kind of staticky. But if we had to
- 32:37Speaker 7: blame anybody, it definitely would blame Eddy.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Yes, I agree, even though he no longer works here.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Let's blame Eddie Garcia went in doubt, blame Eddie. That's
- 32:46Speaker 1: I agree. That's a great take to solid take. Josh
- 32:49Speaker 1: so there's no way the Raina sounds good if everyone
- 32:52Speaker 1: else sounds bad.
- 32:53Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 32:53Speaker 1: It could just be my naturally nice one. No, this
- 32:56Speaker 1: is he's just trying to You're just trying to suck up.
- 32:58Speaker 1: I know she hung off Andrew and bakers This guy
- 33:01Speaker 1: always complains me. He's such a fan boy. What's going on, Andrew?
- 33:03Speaker 1: What are you gonna complain about? Go ahead, hurry up.
- 33:06Speaker 9: Okay. I heard has been messed up since the Odd Couple,
- 33:09Speaker 9: but it's also messed up on AM nine seventy in
- 33:12Speaker 9: Baker's Field.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Oh my god, we are not AM night seventy A.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Baker's Field is messed up. Oh my god, Baker's Field
- 33:20Speaker 1: is messed up. Holy crap. That's our most important affiliate.
- 33:23Speaker 1: We Bakersfield sounds bad? Well, Raina, call the engineers right now,
- 33:29Speaker 1: Wake them off the phone, right now. All right, we're
- 33:31Speaker 1: gonna get to the bottom of this. Andrew, what what?
- 33:35Speaker 1: How's that Dodger? How's that Dodger? Bullpen? Andrew? You're gonna
- 33:37Speaker 1: defend those bums.
- 33:39Speaker 9: I missed the end of the game.
- 33:41Speaker 1: I'm sure you that's convenient, Andrew, That's very convenient. You
- 33:45Speaker 1: know who else missed the end of the game, the
- 33:46Speaker 1: Dodger bumping. They missed the end of the game.
- 33:50Speaker 9: That's unfortunate. But your monologue, you were cracking me up.
- 33:54Speaker 9: Whenever you talk about ooh or crap. It's hilarious. But
- 33:58Speaker 9: also one of my favorite things from a sports talk
- 34:02Speaker 9: show when the host laughs at himself, he makes himself laugh.
- 34:06Speaker 9: That's the best, I think one of them.
- 34:08Speaker 1: You enjoy that. So you want more potty talk? You
- 34:10Speaker 1: would like us to do more potty talk?
- 34:12Speaker 9: Well, just wouldn't You made yourself laugh? It's funny.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, thank you. Can you try not
- 34:18Speaker 1: to clear your throat on the ear? Yeah, thank you?
- 34:21Speaker 1: All right, go ahead saying there's Andrew.
- 34:29Speaker 8: I wonder if this is making the audio quality better
- 34:32Speaker 8: or worse.
- 34:33Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, we we had a lot of
- 34:36Speaker 1: people complaining to me of audio quality. You need some garlic,
- 34:39Speaker 1: Chris Fowler. That's what his voice satellite actually Chris Vowler
- 34:43Speaker 1: on ESPN. He was doing the play by play and
- 34:45Speaker 1: he clearly had some kind of sinus infection. Vocal situation
- 34:51Speaker 1: was not sounding particularly. I recommend rob garlic. It looked
- 34:57Speaker 1: like he had either had laryngitis or he was just
- 35:00Speaker 1: getting laryngitis, and for some reason he had to do
- 35:04Speaker 1: the game because he only gets to do like one
- 35:07Speaker 1: NFL game a year, and that was the night and
- 35:09Speaker 1: he did not want to miss his one NFL game
- 35:12Speaker 1: a year. So much like me doing the show when
- 35:14Speaker 1: I've had laryngitis, it's not good. And how about sign
- 35:17Speaker 1: language from Justin Herbert spotted by cameras walking in to
- 35:21Speaker 1: the stadium in Vegas. There and he low key gave
- 35:25Speaker 1: the bird under hand bird, hand down bird to the paparazzi. Yeah,
- 35:32Speaker 1: that's your charge, quarterback right there, he's gonna get fined.

- 36:31Speaker 1: teams in NFL history to blow when we did that
- 36:33Speaker 1: last hour, this is the instat Trivia. So Blank became
- 36:35Speaker 1: the first wide receiver in NFL history to have negative
- 36:41Speaker 1: receiving yards on at least eight targets. This has never
- 36:44Speaker 1: happened before in NFL history. That's the question. What's the answer?
- 36:48Speaker 1: Joy Galloway from paulid Count Alfred Chocula from King Rory
- 36:53Speaker 1: Gumby from Eloy from Compton Scroogers going with Jim Rome
- 36:57Speaker 1: in the jungle. Who else do we have? Page now?
- 37:00Speaker 1: The Leprechan from Femi, the Uber East Driver, Curley Lambeau
- 37:03Speaker 1: from JT The Wingman, muffin Man from Milkman Mike. Who
- 37:06Speaker 1: else page down? Adam Feelen from just Josh Jrwood Kirby
- 37:11Speaker 1: from Shane and des Moines, Antonio Brown from Chip and
- 37:14Speaker 1: the Queues. All right, what's that you quick? Right, Mike Harmon, No,
- 37:18Speaker 1: although he did. He's a good pass catcher. He was
- 37:20Speaker 1: on the hallway Panthers a receiver Xavier Leget on Sunday,
- 37:26Speaker 1: first time ever. Here we got here, we got how about?
- 37:31Speaker 1: That was a fun degree. This is one big gets
- 37:37Speaker 1: grilled cool book.
- 37:39Speaker 6: The Arizona Cardinals are two and oh after another win
- 37:42Speaker 6: that was closer than it should have been. Kyler Murray
- 37:44Speaker 6: admitted to the media that if they keep playing around,
- 37:46Speaker 6: they're gonna get bit.
- 37:48Speaker 1: Ben when do you think they get bit Well, this
- 37:50Speaker 1: is the worst two and oh team in NFS three.
- 37:52Speaker 1: They beat the Saints and the Carolina Panthers. All right,
- 37:55Speaker 1: they're frauds. And now they play another suspect team, the
- 37:58Speaker 1: forty nine ers with Mac Jones this week. So they
- 38:00Speaker 1: could be three and oh and still not good. They
- 38:03Speaker 1: have the softest schedule. They play Seattle and Darnald he
- 38:07Speaker 1: blows the Titan. They are looking at possibly five and
- 38:11Speaker 1: zero and still not a good team. So I don't
- 38:13Speaker 1: believe him. Next, Drake May.
- 38:15Speaker 6: Was getting nothing but praise from his Patriots teammates after
- 38:18Speaker 6: his three touchdown performance against the Dolphins.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Ben, do you think May has turned a corner? No.
- 38:23Speaker 1: The fact that Miami has basically quit on their head coach,
- 38:27Speaker 1: and yet the Patriots needed to make some amazing plays
- 38:31Speaker 1: late in that game to win the game is not
- 38:35Speaker 1: a great side. The Dolphins had a lead in the
- 38:37Speaker 1: fourth quarter in that game. That is not any particularly.
- 38:40Speaker 1: I'm not overly impressed with Drake May. He looked very
- 38:42Speaker 1: average to me. Next.
- 38:44Speaker 6: Over the weekend, Salvador Perez of the Royals became just
- 38:47Speaker 6: the eighth catcher to hit three hundred homers and the
- 38:49Speaker 6: fifteenth to get one thousand rbi. Ben, do you think
- 38:52Speaker 6: Perez will get into the Hall?
- 38:54Speaker 1: He's not for me. He's not a Hall of Famer.
- 38:56Speaker 1: He's going to get into the Hall of Fame. Nine
- 38:58Speaker 1: time All Star, five Gold Gloves, World Series, MVP. He's
- 39:01Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. I wouldn't put him in,
- 39:03Speaker 1: but he's in the Hall of Fame.
- 39:04Speaker 9: Uh.
- 39:04Speaker 1: He's got all the accolades. It's a Lifetime Achievement Award.
- 39:07Speaker 1: How do we do? I've got the game, super Dog.
- 39:13Speaker 1: I won the game for
