- 0:22Speaker 1: the Mallor report card. Why did the Hawks get such
- 0:26Speaker 1: a low grade on the Malar report card? As they
- 0:30Speaker 1: said bye bye to Trey Young? And what is your
- 0:34Speaker 1: initial reaction to the serious allegations made against Chiefs wide

- 2:28Speaker 1: you go, so check that out. So our lead story
- 2:33Speaker 1: this hour is from pro Bouncy Ball. What are you doing?
- 2:37Speaker 1: It's okay, just take a chill pill. Everything's all right.
- 2:40Speaker 1: So our lead from the NBA the Wheeling and Dealing
- 2:43Speaker 1: the trade deadline about a month away and we got
- 2:46Speaker 1: a trade. It's being described as a blockbuster. Trey Young
- 2:51Speaker 1: is done. Trey Young is done with the Atlanta Hawks
- 2:58Speaker 1: as they have said bye bye, trading him to the
- 3:02Speaker 1: Washington Wizards in a package that includes CJ. McCollum. We've
- 3:08Speaker 1: heard of him and the great Corey Kispert.
- 3:12Speaker 2: I have no idea who that is.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Washington said to be counting on having Tray Young as
- 3:17Speaker 1: an anchor that will elevate the franchise to a higher level.
- 3:22Speaker 1: It's very rare that you get a trade like this,
- 3:24Speaker 1: considering the teams are supposedly in the same same division,
- 3:29Speaker 1: same gobvias, the same conference and all that stuff. But
- 3:31Speaker 1: that's a good jumping off for it. So let us
- 3:33Speaker 1: discuss the question, how do you grade this Tray Young
- 3:38Speaker 1: deal to the Wizards. So my views on this, I've
- 3:43Speaker 1: got group project, beach front property, and Little Abner and
- 3:48Speaker 1: we'll combine all of these things together and we are
- 3:51Speaker 1: gonna make the Gabba gul. We're gonna make the gobbagol. Now,
- 3:56Speaker 1: first of all, we go right to the mal report card.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Do not wasting time. Right to the report. So the
- 4:02Speaker 1: Washington Wizards on the mal of the report guard get
- 4:05Speaker 1: and do they get a night?
- 4:06Speaker 3: No?
- 4:07Speaker 1: Do they get a B, no, A C, A C
- 4:13Speaker 1: for the Washington Wizards. Now, how about the Atlanta Hawks.
- 4:15Speaker 1: They get rid of a guy that was a problem.
- 4:18Speaker 1: What do they get mal The report card says, were well,
- 4:22Speaker 1: answers and F and F written in crayon, eaten by
- 4:28Speaker 1: the dog, and then you hand it back any You know,
- 4:32Speaker 1: It's kind of like we do those game shows and
- 4:34Speaker 1: a caller calls up and has the wrong answer and
- 4:37Speaker 1: knows they're wrong, but they still give the wrong answer
- 4:39Speaker 1: because they can't pick of anything else. So let's start
- 4:41Speaker 1: in DC or the in the Beltway region. And from
- 4:46Speaker 1: what we understand, the Wizards are talking themselves into Trey
- 4:53Speaker 1: Young like he's the franchise messiah, He's the great savior
- 5:00Speaker 1: new scenery. We uh yeah, except and I don't wanna
- 5:07Speaker 1: be too harsh here. I don't believe Washington is the
- 5:10Speaker 1: yellow brick road in my life most of my life.
- 5:14Speaker 1: The Washington Wizards, who used to be called the Washington
- 5:18Speaker 1: Bullets basketball dungeon where lottery balls roll like tumbleweeds out
- 5:26Speaker 1: in the West, the invasive species of tumbleweeds that came
- 5:30Speaker 1: to America from Russia. But they're hoping this is a
- 5:34Speaker 1: wake up call, right that fresh star, new lease on
- 5:37Speaker 1: light blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
- 5:39Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah, career renaissance. Here's the problem.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Trey Young does not do leases. He does ownership. He's
- 5:48Speaker 1: a me guy, He's a meet guy. He's the culture
- 5:52Speaker 1: he walks in. He's the guy that walks into the
- 5:54Speaker 1: group project. He grabs the marker, grabs the marker. He
- 5:59Speaker 1: writes name in giant billboard font, a huge font, and
- 6:05Speaker 1: then he turns around and he asks why nobody else
- 6:07Speaker 1: is pulling away? Why am I doing it? I just
- 6:09Speaker 1: wrote my name? Why are you not doing so? He's
- 6:11Speaker 1: six to one offensive dynamo, no defense, and the ball
- 6:17Speaker 1: is glued to his hands. He's really good at fantasy basketball.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Play fantasy basketball is really standing. It's more like ash.
- 6:28Speaker 1: It's despair is what it is right now. Secondly, staying
- 6:31Speaker 1: with the big trade in the NB A question, why
- 6:36Speaker 1: did the Hawks get an F on the mallor report
- 6:42Speaker 1: card for the Trey Young trade? So you don't have
- 6:45Speaker 1: to be Tommy in Atlanta to know that Timing is
- 6:48Speaker 1: everything in life. This low grade is because the moment
- 6:55Speaker 1: passed them by. They missed the moment. They missed the moment.
- 6:59Speaker 1: And it's like showing up to the airport. You got
- 7:02Speaker 1: a flight and you're showing up, and you showed up.
- 7:05Speaker 1: The plane left at three o'clock, and you showed up
- 7:10Speaker 1: at four o'clock. And then you get to the airport.
- 7:13Speaker 1: You go to the counter and the plane's already taken off,
- 7:16Speaker 1: and you ask if your seat's still warm. Well, no,
- 7:18Speaker 1: it's it might be, but it's in You see the
- 7:20Speaker 1: sky up there. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Yeah,
- 7:23Speaker 1: it's a plane. It's your plane, And you dumb ass
- 7:26Speaker 1: didn't sit in there. So heyway, there was a window.
- 7:29Speaker 1: I believe there was a window in Atlanta where Trey
- 7:33Speaker 1: Young was being marketed like beachfront property, franchise guy, headliner,
- 7:40Speaker 1: big box office, all that stuff. You could have pulled
- 7:44Speaker 1: three first rounders and a young blue chip player. Instead,
- 7:49Speaker 1: the house that was beachfront property has been foreclosed and
- 7:53Speaker 1: there's some cracks in the foundation and there's a lot
- 7:56Speaker 1: of vermin that are in the house right now. So
- 7:58Speaker 1: Atlanta walked away instead of getting three first rounders and
- 8:02Speaker 1: a young player. They walked away, if I have the
- 8:05Speaker 1: trade right, a half eaten box of cracker Jacks and
- 8:08Speaker 1: a glass of tap water and a refill maybe to
- 8:15Speaker 1: be named later, Maybe to be named later. And that's
- 8:17Speaker 1: what happens when you sell after the roof has caved in. Internally,
- 8:23Speaker 1: they knew. That's the part is they knew. The people
- 8:26Speaker 1: that were with the Atlanta Hawks knew this guy. For
- 8:30Speaker 1: them anyway, Trey Young was a rotten tomato. He was
- 8:33Speaker 1: a stat stuffing super nova, masking some structural damage and
- 8:39Speaker 1: the kind of a ballplayer that has this unique talent
- 8:43Speaker 1: for separating and dividing a locker room and coaches, and
- 8:48Speaker 1: we've talked a little bit. We don't do much NBA
- 8:50Speaker 1: these days until the playoffs. But coaches did not just
- 8:52Speaker 1: leave guys like Nate McMillan and others, they evaporated because
- 8:56Speaker 1: of having issues with Trey Young. They would evaporate like
- 9:03Speaker 1: missed off a hot, hot street covering an asphalt. And
- 9:09Speaker 1: the tape tells the truth. Trey Young, for all his statistics,
- 9:14Speaker 1: is a type of animal you might see at the zoo.
- 9:17Speaker 1: He's a hog, a ballhog. Eighteen seconds of dribbling, drib mo,
- 9:22Speaker 1: drib mo drib mo drib dri mud muldri muldri muldrin
- 9:26Speaker 1: muldri muld muld Yeah. Uh. And you know, teammates, there's
- 9:31Speaker 1: nothing got the players in basketball hate more than they're
- 9:33Speaker 1: not getting the ball. They're not involved.
- 9:35Speaker 4: Right.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Basketball is supposed to be poetry in motion. You're moving
- 9:37Speaker 1: the ball around, everyone's touching the ball, blah blah blah.
- 9:40Speaker 1: And when you got a guy like Trey Young who
- 9:42Speaker 1: just like he's like, uh, sucks the air out of
- 9:45Speaker 1: the room. There it's a problem a defense that when
- 9:48Speaker 1: Trey Young plays defense, his defense ranges from liability to
- 9:53Speaker 1: active active investigation because there's some kind of basketball crime
- 9:59Speaker 1: basketball crime going on, and you always trade a guy
- 10:03Speaker 1: when you first learned that, you trade him before it
- 10:06Speaker 1: gets out. Atlanta did not give Trey Young a new
- 10:09Speaker 1: contract before the season, which was a dead give what
- 10:13Speaker 1: dead give it that they were not happy with him.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Hawks aren't particularly good this season, that's fair to say,
- 10:20Speaker 1: and yet they screwed this whole thing up. And so
- 10:23Speaker 1: they finally blinked and the bill came due, and then
- 10:25Speaker 1: they got some stuff, but not much stuff for Trey
- 10:29Speaker 1: Young and now he'll go to Washington and he'll be
- 10:31Speaker 1: on his best behavior for a little bit. We'll see
- 10:33Speaker 1: how that goes, and then eventually it'll be time to
- 10:36Speaker 1: pay Trey Young and then we'll see. That's when the
- 10:39Speaker 1: rubber meets the road. That is, when the rubber meets
- 10:41Speaker 1: the road. Now final thought to Cansaw City we go,
- 10:47Speaker 1: where the Chiefs released a statement confirming the story that
- 10:53Speaker 1: has been making the rounds around the NFL to confirming
- 10:55Speaker 1: that they are aware of some very serious allegations made
- 10:59Speaker 1: again Rashie Rice, who's really good at getting into some
- 11:04Speaker 1: really bad situations, this one involving domestic violence. Now, the Chiefs,
- 11:09Speaker 1: of course, we least a prepared statement. You know what
- 11:12Speaker 1: was missing from the prepared statement? You want to guess, okay,
- 11:17Speaker 1: ing n Yes, they didn't mention his name. They didn't
- 11:20Speaker 1: put his name in there. So they were asked about
- 11:24Speaker 1: the story and they didn't put it in. So the
- 11:26Speaker 1: Chiefs re issued this statement, which is mostly a boidered
- 11:29Speaker 1: played statement, saying the club is aware of the allegations
- 11:32Speaker 1: on social media and is in communication with the National
- 11:36Speaker 1: Football League. We have no further comment at this time. So,
- 11:42Speaker 1: you know, some lawyer, some Weasley, lawyer in Manhattan, came
- 11:46Speaker 1: up with that phrase. They have I'm guessing they have
- 11:49Speaker 1: a one page thing at the NFL. Every team gets it,
- 11:52Speaker 1: all right, So if your player gets arrested for beating
- 11:54Speaker 1: up his girlfriend, you put this out trunk driving that
- 11:58Speaker 1: committing a crime, this one. If it involves a gun,
- 12:01Speaker 1: you put this one out. Uh. And then if it's
- 12:04Speaker 1: a felony, you put this this thing. And then if
- 12:06Speaker 1: it's a it's a misdemeanor. Don't even bother don't do
- 12:09Speaker 1: that and uh yeah. So it's it's the organization declining
- 12:12Speaker 1: further common. Of course, it's a boiler plant response. Now,
- 12:15Speaker 1: the allegations come from someone named Dakota Jones. I don't
- 12:20Speaker 1: know who that is. I'm told based on what I
- 12:23Speaker 1: read on the interweb that this person has two children
- 12:26Speaker 1: with Rashie Rice.
- 12:28Speaker 5: And she went on the gram and unloaded everything, every
- 12:36Speaker 5: all the dirty laundry, every skeleton in the closet is
- 12:40Speaker 5: out there.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Uh she And this is just the tip of the spear.
- 12:44Speaker 1: But she accused the football player of putting hands on her,
- 12:49Speaker 1: locking her outdoors in ten degree weather, multiple instances of
- 12:56Speaker 1: cheating and cutting up her shoes, and clothes and abandoning
- 13:01Speaker 1: the family in Kansas while he was off I guess
- 13:06Speaker 1: driving at a tremendous amount of speed in Texas. So
- 13:10Speaker 1: the Instagram post included some receipts, several photos, several photos,
- 13:16Speaker 1: several pictures of bruises on the woman's face, there, legs, shoulders, chest,
- 13:22Speaker 1: the whole thing, and property that was damaged. So all
- 13:27Speaker 1: of that sent out on a now viral post on
- 13:31Speaker 1: the gram. So the question, this is all developing right now,
- 13:36Speaker 1: So what is your initial reaction to these allegations, serious
- 13:40Speaker 1: allegations made against Chiefs Wide receiver Rashie Rice. So let's
- 13:45Speaker 1: start with the obvious. If even some of this is true,
- 13:49Speaker 1: he's getting cooked. Like the allegation swirling around Rice, it
- 13:54Speaker 1: reads like you know what it reads like. It is
- 13:56Speaker 1: like police blater mixed with a reality TV the reunion
- 14:01Speaker 1: from the early two thousands, bruises, broken property, Instagram post,
- 14:07Speaker 1: the receipts, rather extreme baby Mama drama, and now now
- 14:13Speaker 1: full stop. I point out these are unverified claims. That
- 14:20Speaker 1: does matter. That does matter. This is not a court
- 14:23Speaker 1: of law. If these claims are true, you would think
- 14:26Speaker 1: that some of this stuff would go to a court
- 14:28Speaker 1: of law, you would think. And the NFL, they have
- 14:32Speaker 1: their version of due process. They have their version. That said,
- 14:37Speaker 1: based on what I looked at, my knee jerk reaction
- 14:40Speaker 1: because I asked the question, was your initial reaction, My
- 14:43Speaker 1: initial reaction is that if you look off to the mountains,
- 14:47Speaker 1: there's a rather obese woman, a fat lady. Now she's
- 14:51Speaker 1: not singing, she's not singing, she's stretching, she's hydrating, she's
- 14:56Speaker 1: warming up her vocal cords backstage right now in the mountains.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Because if this is true, this would be the double Whaemie,
- 15:02Speaker 1: this would be the double whimy. You might remember Rice
- 15:04Speaker 1: made famous. He already served a six game suspension for
- 15:09Speaker 1: turning the streets of Dallas into a fast and furious
- 15:13Speaker 1: audition tape and suit up the wazoo for that. And
- 15:17Speaker 1: that was the vin Vin Diesel. It was Vin Diesel
- 15:21Speaker 1: without the charm, all right, Vin Diesel without trump. Just
- 15:24Speaker 1: crashed the car and then walked off the highway. There,
- 15:26Speaker 1: I'm done, see you later, losers. Now now we're talking about,
- 15:31Speaker 1: if this is true, turning into a like a heavyweight
- 15:34Speaker 1: champ behavior outside the ring and all that. So based
- 15:37Speaker 1: on these events, based on these events, Rashi Rice is
- 15:41Speaker 1: slowly becoming a walking, talking Little Abner comic strip. If
- 15:47Speaker 1: you know the character there the cartoon, the dark rain
- 15:51Speaker 1: cloud hovering overhead, and wherever that cartoon character goes, chaos
- 15:57Speaker 1: follows that. That's and here's the thing. You look at
- 16:01Speaker 1: Rashiet Rice like he's he's a nice player, but he's
- 16:04Speaker 1: not that nice, right, He's not. Can we all agree
- 16:06Speaker 1: on that it's not that nice? Like these allegations if
- 16:09Speaker 1: they hold water, the Mallard Dakota Ring says, and says
- 16:14Speaker 1: very plainly in the Mallard Dakota Ring that the juice
- 16:18Speaker 1: isn't worth the squeeze anymore at that point. So, yeah,
- 16:22Speaker 1: you go, it's the off season. It's good this happened
- 16:25Speaker 1: right away, and so you have time to get somebody
- 16:29Speaker 1: else go out. And the Chiefs need to improve their
- 16:31Speaker 1: roster anyway if they want to get back into contention.
- 16:33Speaker 1: So it's one of those weird deals because they spend
- 16:35Speaker 1: much money they do they invest on the team, considering
- 16:40Speaker 1: Mahomes is going to be out at least half of
- 16:43Speaker 1: next season. So it's like one of those weird deals.
- 16:47Speaker 1: I'll have to check with our chief insider. Find out
- 16:50Speaker 1: what's going on with that. But it is the Ben
- 16:52Speaker 1: Mallard Show. If you would like to comment on any

- 19:41Speaker 1: But the damn, I gotta do the riddle. I gotta
- 19:43Speaker 1: do the riddle. All right, here's the riddle. Riddle of
- 19:45Speaker 1: the day. And at his introductory news conference recently this
- 19:49Speaker 1: week in Toronto, Kazuma Okamado, the infielder says, his daughter,
- 19:55Speaker 1: I guess this guy was a good player in Japan.
- 19:57Speaker 1: I don't know anyway, his daughter he helped him choose
- 20:00Speaker 1: the Blue Jays because of blank. Because of blank. So
- 20:06Speaker 1: that is the question. What is the answer, And Mike
- 20:09Speaker 1: the Leprechaun will skip that one. Hold on a second.
- 20:13Speaker 1: Andy said because of her love for the Canadian dollar.
- 20:18Speaker 1: The sawman says, because she heard that they had a
- 20:21Speaker 1: great ballet and wanted to see that for her. So, well,
- 20:25Speaker 1: that's a different kind of ballet. She flipped the coin
- 20:28Speaker 1: guessed by Scrooge's that's his answer. In the younger Demo, Rod,
- 20:33Speaker 1: the ambassador of Bakersfield says she has the hots for
- 20:37Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero Junior. Clearly right, all right? Who else? Tammy
- 20:43Speaker 1: in Vegas says a p meal bacon sandwich. I have
- 20:49Speaker 1: no idea what that is, but there's a lot of
- 20:51Speaker 1: lot of different meat on there. It would appear. Nick
- 20:54Speaker 1: says it's got to be the poutine. That that is
- 20:57Speaker 1: the answer. Alf the Apono says because of the bird,
- 21:02Speaker 1: and the bird is the word. It's a great photo
- 21:05Speaker 1: there of the Godfather back in the day. There, what
- 21:10Speaker 1: a tremendous tribute there. He's probably sleeping right now. And
- 21:13Speaker 1: what else you have? Ike is going with a search
- 21:15Speaker 1: firm is the answer because of the great Canadian scenery
- 21:18Speaker 1: guests by King Rory. Who else? Freddy says, chose the
- 21:24Speaker 1: Blue Jays because they are known for choking. In Game
- 21:28Speaker 1: seven of the World Series, Frog Dog went with poutine,
- 21:31Speaker 1: so did Milkman. Mike a lot of poutine answers. Late

- 21:42Speaker 1: magic eight ball as his answer. JT. The Wingman says,
- 21:47Speaker 1: the amazing moosehead beer is the answer, Trucker Joe says,
- 21:51Speaker 1: because God told her. Inka Terra points out that the
- 21:55Speaker 1: daughter of this player who signed with the Blue Jays.
- 21:59Speaker 1: There Kazuma Akamado that his daughter recommended the Blue Jays
- 22:02Speaker 1: because of the proximity to Rochester, New York and inca
- 22:05Speaker 1: terror of course, yes, that's right. And Felexus, who has
- 22:09Speaker 1: not called yet this year, what do we have? Piller up,
- 22:12Speaker 1: Phil says a retractable roof. They didn't want to be cold.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Joe the ghost Hunter also went with Poutine, mentioned Michael
- 22:20Speaker 1: Lepreconni because of her favorite TV show Bluey Bluey, not
- 22:25Speaker 1: Cub Blue Blue Skip. The Zip got it right, but
- 22:28Speaker 1: he cheated so that the lorraina do you have an answer?
- 22:32Speaker 1: So his introductory news conference in Toronto, this infielder Kazuma
- 22:37Speaker 1: Okamado says his daughter helped him choose the Blue Jays
- 22:39Speaker 1: because of.
- 22:40Speaker 6: Blake, because of their lucky cricket. They put out all
- 22:43Speaker 6: the teams and then the lucky cricket got to go
- 22:46Speaker 6: land on whatever one they thought was going to be.
- 22:48Speaker 2: The team, and it landed on.
- 22:51Speaker 1: It's It's not right, no, actually not far off. According
- 22:56Speaker 1: to the player because his daughter or his daughter liked
- 23:02Speaker 1: the logo, because what of his what of his daughter?
- 23:10Speaker 1: What I his daughter said, I like that Rockies logo
- 23:12Speaker 1: or the White Sox logo, or I like the A's logo.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Fuck Dad, you'd be like, I don't know that that's
- 23:19Speaker 1: a good move. I don't know about that. Speaking of baseball,
- 23:22Speaker 1: I should congratulate. I didn't do this yesterday, so I
- 23:25Speaker 1: should congratulate Coop. A little big news in baseball, The
- 23:29Speaker 1: Angels have signed a big name free agent, Kirby Yates. Congratulations, tremendous,
- 23:38Speaker 1: tremendous move there, Kirby Yates said, one year contract. As
- 23:42Speaker 1: the Angels continue to sign washed up picture, what does
- 23:44Speaker 1: I said, Michael Lorenzen agreed to a deal with the
- 23:46Speaker 1: Blue Jays.
- 23:46Speaker 7: Did you see the picture they sent out of Kirby
- 23:49Speaker 7: Yates with the welcome to the Angels, the one that
- 23:52Speaker 7: they sent out?
- 23:54Speaker 1: No, what did they send out?
- 23:55Speaker 2: What uniform was he wanting?
- 23:56Speaker 7: I just he looks as thrilled as I would be
- 23:59Speaker 7: too to be on the Angels.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well he was washed up with the Dodgers.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I thought he can't pitch anymore, So of course he
- 24:07Speaker 1: goes to the Angels at one more contract, one more contract,
- 24:12Speaker 1: and then you're you're good on that anyway. So I
- 24:15Speaker 1: wanted to mention this. I get distracted. I hate when
- 24:18Speaker 1: there's so the story happens every every week in the NFL,
- 24:22Speaker 1: people complaining about the the price, then your grimlins.
- 24:30Speaker 6: You know, we're getting so close to the end of
- 24:33Speaker 6: the show. We're gonna need more callers to fill in
- 24:36Speaker 6: when Ben's not on. So if we have anyone who
- 24:39Speaker 6: wants to come on and jib jab, call up right now, Coop,
- 24:44Speaker 6: give the number.
- 24:46Speaker 2: The number? Yeah, the number eight seven seven ninety nine
- 24:50Speaker 2: on Fox. WHOOA call up right now? Well you know
- 24:53Speaker 2: the number? Is that why you asked me to I
- 24:54Speaker 2: wanted you to talk.
- 24:55Speaker 6: I can't be the only one talking while Ben's gremlins
- 24:57Speaker 6: are attacking.
- 24:58Speaker 2: But yes, maybe I did forget the number for a second.
- 25:02Speaker 2: It's a long attack. This is a horribly long attack.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Wait a minute. I fought them back for the rating.
- 25:07Speaker 1: I fought them back, nib Now, Coop, do you have
- 25:12Speaker 1: when Eddie was here before the company whacked Eddie? We
- 25:15Speaker 1: just go to Eddie when the gremlins attack, and he
- 25:17Speaker 1: would do a Winnipeg Jets monologue. Do you have a
- 25:19Speaker 1: monologue coop on the Angels prepared? Could you do twenty
- 25:22Speaker 1: minutes on the Angels prepared?
- 25:25Speaker 2: We would be better off just the dead air.
- 25:29Speaker 1: No, you could. You could know, you could do like
- 25:31Speaker 1: five minutes on Darren Erstad, five on Tim Salmon, you know,
- 25:35Speaker 1: he could do a tribute to Chuck Finley. You could
- 25:37Speaker 1: go down the list there and then. But anyway, I
- 25:40Speaker 1: was ranching, oh, whatever to him.
- 25:43Speaker 2: I don't know what.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Anyway, who's that?
- 25:45Speaker 5: Uh?
- 25:45Speaker 1: Somebody dropped the piano on him. So the streaming in
- 25:49Speaker 1: the NFL. In order to watch every NFL wild creaking,
- 25:53Speaker 1: and this is a story that pops up every couple
- 25:55Speaker 1: of weeks. In order to watch every NFL game this
- 25:58Speaker 1: weekend streaming, it will cost you about ninety dollars. About
- 26:04Speaker 1: ninety dollars to access all six games. And that's twelve
- 26:08Speaker 1: bucks to watch the Rams, Panthers and the forty nine
- 26:11Speaker 1: ers Eagles. That's fifteen bucks to watch the Packers and
- 26:15Speaker 1: the Bears, dumb Bears, twelve bucks to watch the Bills
- 26:20Speaker 1: and the Jags, and then twelve bucks to watch the
- 26:23Speaker 1: Chargers and the Patriots. How about this for the Monday
- 26:27Speaker 1: night game. To get that, that'll cost you thirty dollars
- 26:31Speaker 1: to watch the Texans and the Pittsburgh Sei. So the total,
- 26:34Speaker 1: if you do the math on that, eighty eight dollars
- 26:36Speaker 1: and ninety five cents to stream to watch all those games. Now,
- 26:40Speaker 1: you should follow the rules. There are other ways though.
- 26:44Speaker 1: There are other ways, and I'm not recommending you become
- 26:47Speaker 1: a member of the Pirates of the Caribbean, but there
- 26:49Speaker 1: are other ways to watch these games. The NFL had
- 26:52Speaker 1: always bragged about every fan has that access to every
- 26:55Speaker 1: game and all that stuff. I know this weekend, if
- 26:57Speaker 1: you have television like old school TV, you get I
- 27:01Speaker 1: think everything but the exclusive Peacock game, which is twelve bucks,
- 27:09Speaker 1: and that's the I think their game is the Chargers Patriots.
- 27:13Speaker 1: I think that's the only I guess why Amazon Prime too,
- 27:16Speaker 1: Amazon Prime would be would be that. But those games
- 27:19Speaker 1: are supposed to be on TV in the local market.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Supposedly they're in there. They're on the TV in the
- 27:25Speaker 1: local market, so there is that as well. We have
- 27:29Speaker 1: asked Ben coming up in a little bit. We did
- 27:30Speaker 1: a monologue about the Washington Wizards, which is probably why
- 27:33Speaker 1: the Gremlins attack.
- 27:34Speaker 6: I hope it's not just ask Coop and Lorena.
- 27:37Speaker 1: It could be maybe I'll go take a break, taken nap,
- 27:41Speaker 1: you know, Dan writes in he says the nation's capital
- 27:46Speaker 1: is all in on ice tray, the superstar clutch closer.
- 27:51Speaker 1: They've been desperate to land. Yeah, that's a good, good propaganda.
- 27:55Speaker 1: There By, Dan good Spind, the Charger fan commentator says
- 28:04Speaker 1: zero teams, zero teams would give up three first round
- 28:09Speaker 1: picks for Trey Young. They could do a lot better.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Uh could could could have gotten a lot better return,
- 28:15Speaker 1: But no three first round picks. Maybe a few years ago,
- 28:20Speaker 1: but every team knows Young doesn't play defense and just patched.
- 28:22Speaker 1: As I, I don't think you listened very well. You
- 28:25Speaker 1: might want to go to the ear doctor get a
- 28:26Speaker 1: hearing aid, because I pointed out a couple of years
- 28:28Speaker 1: ago when the Hawks were actually winning some games in
- 28:31Speaker 1: the playoffs and Trey Young was was putting up great status,
- 28:34Speaker 1: it was an all star, you conceivably would have gotten
- 28:37Speaker 1: three first round picks are meaningless, They don't mean anything.
- 28:40Speaker 1: They're worthless. The draft is horrific, Okay, it's it's unwatchable,
- 28:45Speaker 1: and the talent it just you can't you can't consume it.
- 28:50Speaker 1: It you can't depend on it. Uh so, uh there
- 28:55Speaker 1: there is that. And then a random message from JJ
- 28:58Speaker 1: from Renton, who writes in and says that a woman
- 29:02Speaker 1: tried to get him to assaulter. He said, that's a
- 29:06Speaker 1: very random message. JJ from written, I don't know what
- 29:10Speaker 1: that's all about, but hey, you know, whatever, you know,
- 29:13Speaker 1: you call up expand on that you can do it. Roberto,
- 29:17Speaker 1: the bus driver wearing his Dodger Onesie writes in our
- 29:21Speaker 1: old buddy Roberto who left the grind of overnight radio
- 29:26Speaker 1: for the Uh well, this guy, Roberto, you know, you know,
- 29:29Speaker 1: working in the sweatshop that is radio. He left for
- 29:32Speaker 1: the glamour of being a bus driver, he says, because
- 29:36Speaker 1: Bobachett is going to be a Dodger. He said, yeah,
- 29:40Speaker 1: I could. I could see that happening. They don't need
- 29:43Speaker 1: Bobachett though, you know they don't need him. You know
- 29:46Speaker 1: they're fine. I don't need They'll survive without Bobaschett. Am
- 29:51Speaker 1: I talking too much baseball? I don't get in trouble
- 29:53Speaker 1: for if I talk too much base I.
- 29:54Speaker 6: Thought you were talking Star Wars.
- 29:57Speaker 1: Star Wars, oh Kawhi because of bull oh Boba fat. Yeah,
- 30:02Speaker 1: there you go. Well you are You're a Disney Disney girl.
- 30:06Speaker 1: You are a Disney You're all about that Disney action boss.
- 30:09Speaker 1: You're all about that. It's but I look at the baseball.
- 30:12Speaker 1: I try to find stuff to talk about in baseball
- 30:14Speaker 1: every day. There's really not much I like. This week,
- 30:17Speaker 1: I'd say, can I do a part of a monologue
- 30:19Speaker 1: on Cutter Crawford agreeing to a contract with the Redsick? Now?
- 30:22Speaker 2: I can't.
- 30:22Speaker 1: I can't do that. The Rays acquired an outfielder named
- 30:26Speaker 1: Justin Henry Malloy from the Tigers for cash. I don't
- 30:29Speaker 1: think that's worthy of a mention. I don't think I
- 30:33Speaker 1: can do that. You Cubs acquired a pitcher from the Marlins,
- 30:38Speaker 1: Edward Cabrera, who's supposedly pretty good. But that doesn't really
- 30:43Speaker 1: move the needle. And it was like, well, you know,
- 30:45Speaker 1: my mantra is it's broadcasting. It's not narrow casting. So
- 30:52Speaker 1: do people really want to hear the masses me do
- 30:55Speaker 1: a deep dive on some random, right handed, middle of
- 30:58Speaker 1: the rotation starting pitcher And the answer is no. The
- 31:02Speaker 1: answer is no. And you can't even like talk about
- 31:04Speaker 1: the people the Marlins get because the Marlins don't try
- 31:06Speaker 1: to win, and so anyone that's good stays in Miami
- 31:09Speaker 1: for like three years and then eventually gets relocated reshuffled
- 31:13Speaker 1: around Major League Baseball. And that's just how that goes.
- 31:17Speaker 2: That's just it.
- 31:18Speaker 1: We're gonna ask Ben your questions and our answers Ask Ben,
- 31:23Speaker 1: so keep those questions coming in. I see there's like
- 31:26Speaker 1: two or three that are good. I see two or

- 31:30Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, those aren't really good. There's some sporty
- 31:32Speaker 1: questions in there. Probably won't use those. Probably won't use those.

- 33:46Speaker 1: Okay, I get to go first. Outsiding is that by right?
- 33:50Speaker 1: This is wonderful, amazing.
- 33:52Speaker 2: All right? This is from Andy and Lino lakes Hi.
- 33:55Speaker 5: Andy.
- 33:56Speaker 7: He wants to know do you ever get nervous about
- 33:58Speaker 7: certain subjects or talking about people on the air? U?
- 34:02Speaker 1: Yes, anything that can get me fired. No, it was
- 34:09Speaker 1: very dicey for a few years back in like twenty
- 34:12Speaker 1: twenty and whatnot, and we were all walking on eggshells
- 34:16Speaker 1: here the cancel culture, which I guess is still out there.
- 34:20Speaker 1: I also don't like talking about death, but I've talked
- 34:22Speaker 1: a lot about death recently, done a lot of tributes
- 34:25Speaker 1: on my podcast and things like that. But I've never
- 34:27Speaker 1: been I don't think I'm very good at it. But
- 34:29Speaker 1: I've done a lot of eulogies recently because people I
- 34:32Speaker 1: know of Doc.
- 34:35Speaker 7: Right, We're gonna go on to a question from the
- 34:40Speaker 7: King Rory, and the King Rory would like to know
- 34:45Speaker 7: what is the biggest animal that you think you can
- 34:48Speaker 7: fight with only your bare hands? And I guess we'll
- 34:51Speaker 7: start with lorena.
- 34:52Speaker 6: Yes, well, Ben finds his grumlins and beats them to
- 34:55Speaker 6: a pulp. Maybe that's who Ben is gonna fight, is gremlins.
- 34:59Speaker 6: That would be good, right, Okay? I when I could
- 35:02Speaker 6: fight with my bear hands, even dogs intimidate me there?
- 35:09Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean I think a dog would I
- 35:11Speaker 2: don't think he would do. Well, let's go with Koala bear.
- 35:15Speaker 2: Koala bear, that's the biggest animal you think.
- 35:17Speaker 7: I think the biggest animal I can fight with my
- 35:19Speaker 7: bare hands would be a milk cow. A milk cow, yes, now,
- 35:24Speaker 7: like I wouldn't want to because they're adorable, right, Like,
- 35:29Speaker 7: I mean it's like lay on top of that's all
- 35:31Speaker 7: it's got, right, I could I could fight that?
- 35:34Speaker 1: Uh? And Ben?
- 35:36Speaker 7: We're gonna say Ben picks Uh?
- 35:42Speaker 1: Yeah, because they're because no Koala bears sit in the
- 35:44Speaker 1: tree and they get high on the eucalyptus. Right, I
- 35:48Speaker 1: guess they're not. Actually, every time I say Kali bear
- 35:50Speaker 1: a bear, dummy, but koala I could take down a
- 35:53Speaker 1: koala because they get high all the time and they
- 35:55Speaker 1: just sit in the tree. I remember when they first.
- 35:57Speaker 2: Had also said Kuala bears just coincidence?
- 36:01Speaker 1: Did you say that? I did? I yeah, she did.
- 36:03Speaker 4: I did.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Oh, really I did.
- 36:05Speaker 5: Oh.
- 36:05Speaker 1: I was hitting the I was hitting the thing here,
- 36:07Speaker 1: the thing of Jake, whatever it is.
- 36:09Speaker 2: The dude will take the same animal.
- 36:11Speaker 1: Ben. I wasn't listening, but no, yeah, because I remember
- 36:13Speaker 1: as a kid, my mom she was all sized. She
- 36:16Speaker 1: hiked it up San Diego's. They finally had kuala bears.
- 36:19Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is so excited. At that time
- 36:21Speaker 1: they come the Kuobra. So we went to the zoo
- 36:23Speaker 1: and it was the most disappointing thing because you couldn't
- 36:26Speaker 1: even see him because they were up in the trees
- 36:28Speaker 1: sleeping where he All I remember is the gift shop
- 36:32Speaker 1: had seventy five stuffed animals of a koala. That's all
- 36:35Speaker 1: I remember. What's next year, it's ask Ben and Gremlin's.
