• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Buying showb so our lead this hour from Jerry's World
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: play the hit small Man play. As one of our
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: old bosses used to say, so, the most hype game
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of the NFL weekend. You had Jordan Love and the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Packers versus Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, a lopsided match
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: up according to the gambling market one sided, supposed to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: be a blowout. Then they played the game and we
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: know the biggest part of the hype for the game,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the build up was the side show. That was the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: biggest thing here was It was Micah Parson's return to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the Death Star. And I don't know if you were
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: checking this out or not. Maybe you were burned out
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: from all the football throughout the day which started early.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: There was a game in Ireland very early and continued
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: all this you might have missed it. And if you
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: missed it, you didn't really miss anything because the game
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: didn't end with a winner. We did not have a winner.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: We had multiple losers, and the game came down to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the final second of overtime when Brian McManus booted a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: thirty four yard field goal with just one second left.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Not to win the game, not to win the game,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no no, not to win the game. Instead
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to get a tie. To procure a tie. Forty forty
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: eighty points were scored in this game. Now, we usually
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: say the better stories in the losing locker room. Both
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: these teams losers lose ours, all right, So let us
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: discuss the question. Let's just get right into the nitty
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: gritty of this. Did Green Bays Micah Parsons raise his
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: game up to match the hype the much anticipated return
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to Jerry's World? Did Micah Parsons live up to his
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: end of the bargain? So I've got diagnosis, kitty kat
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and yoga, and we will combine all of these things together,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and we are going to make garlic potato knots is
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: what we're going to make slogans. Mix the potatoes together
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: with some post and holy anyway, all right, So, first
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of all, to answer the question, did Green Bay's Micah
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Parsons end up raising his game to match the stage
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that he was on? And the only answer, and you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: can't see me unless you're watching on the YouTube feed,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: is I'm shaking my head. No, he did not. That
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: was revenge. That was Micah Parson's revenge. That was a
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: statement that you want defense, you go to Green Bay, baby.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: The Packers are great defensively. You know what. That was
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of cardio. That was a cardio game for
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Michah Parson. He was doing pilates out there. He wasn't
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: really playing football. He was doing pilates. Michaeh. Parsons did
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: more running around than actually making plays in this game,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: much to the chagrin of the television executives who were
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: not obviously happy with this. But the guy was number
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: one in your program, right there, Michah Parsons number one,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: unfortunately zero in the box score for ninety nine point
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: nine percent of this particular game. Getting a pity sack.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I called it a pity sack because if you were
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: watching the game, it didn't really look like a sack.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It didn't feel like a sack. It shouldn't have been
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a sack. But the fugazy rules of the NFL, they
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: gave Michael Parsons a sack with four forty nine to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: go in overtime four forty Even Dak Prescott after the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: game was shocked. You kidding me? They gave him a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: sack on that that's ridiculous, but they did so. Michael
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Parsons did not raise his game. Now, we were not
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: shocked by this. We thought the Packers would win. If
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you watched Benny versus the Penny. We certainly thought that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the Packers were gonna win this game by a wide margin.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: We did not have on our Bengo card that the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: team from Wisconsin would be that pathetic defensively. But then
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, we're talking about him right now, he did
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: not elevate his performance in this game. Now the NBC
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: brought If NBC was not showing MICHAEH. Parsons and then
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: shoving him down your throat like your parents would making
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: vegetables when your kid. It was like a medicine situation. Here,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: take the pell, I don't want the pill, Take the pail.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I don't like I don't need the pell. Take the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: damn pill. I don't want the pell. You gotta have
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the pill. You wouldn't even known Michael Parsons was out there.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Every other snap was michae Caparson's. This MICHAEH. Parsons that
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: we knew what he had for breakfast, we knew what
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: he had for lunch, we knew what time he took
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: his bowel movement. We know everything about Michael Parsons. It
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: was unbelievable. That's in depth covers there. Michael Parsons is
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: a return to Jerry's world. Now Here is Michael Parsons,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the man of the hour who points out that he
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: didn't really do all that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm pissed, Uh, you know, I'm very disappointed overall
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: how we performed. Uh you know, I even told Jordan
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: to this side and you know, thank you for having
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: our back today. That's why so pivotal that you know
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: he played complimentary football, because today Jordan played like the
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: player he was, and we let him down. We at
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: little to the expectations.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: On defense, well, there was a lot of huffing and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: puffing from Micah Parsons, stumbling and bumbling as well. So
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: they Mallard diagnosis, the overnight talk radio diagnosis from Micah
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Parsons chronic case of tight toock his syndrome. Tight took
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: his syndrome for Michah Parsons shrinkage if you know what
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I mean. Parsons treated his return to Jerry's world just
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: like a playoff game. And guess what he played like?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: It was a playoff guy. He was nowhere, out there,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: nowhere to be seen, got boxed up. He was neutered
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: by the Dallas Cowboys. Micah Parsons tossed in a boiling cauldron.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: If you will here, Holy Toledo, he's bad. Highest paid
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: non quarterback in football. The guy blows, and that ninety sucks.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Man invisible man, the invisible man. And let's not bury
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the lead, my man. We won't bury the lead. The
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers who followed up a loss a wake
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: up call. You lost to Cleveland because you were caught
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: looking ahead. Wake up call, loss, wake up call, loss
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to the Browns. And what do you do? You come
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: back against a ragtag cowboy team and play to a tie.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: The green Bay Packers are frauds. The green Bay Packers
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: are frauds. Pathetic and if I hear one more thing
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: about Oh the Packers, Dave just sucked. Good shoving up
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: your ass. They suck. They allowed the Dallas Cowboys without
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Seedee Lamb to put up four hundred and thirty six
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: yards of offense forty points. Four hundred and thirty six
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: yards of offense forty points, and Dallas still tried to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: lose again. They had eleven penalties for ninety five yards,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: handing multiple first downs to the Green Bay Packers. And
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: then Jordan Love, he also tried to lose the game
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: as much as Micah Parsons was licking the toes of
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Jordan Love. Jordan Love at the end. You talk about
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: bad situational awareness by Jordan Love at the end of
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: his game. Now he also had problems in the pocket,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: bad pocket awareness. He was stripsacked on a fumble that
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: handed the Cowboys a touchdown. But late in the game,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: My god, what a what a fraud. The Green Bay
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Packers are total fool gayzy team, the Green Bay Packers,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: My god. All right, Now, on the other side of things,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: not the losing locker room, not the winning locker room,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the other part of the tie here. So how does
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: this tie play for Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. Right,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: it's all about Micah, it was all about Jerry Jones. Well,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: let's hear from Jerry Jones. And he felt bad for
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the people that liked the Cowboys. He felt bad for
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the people that like the cowboys. Tike, as there's.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Nobody in here obviously that I'm gonna let in any
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: way I can put the lost part of the tie
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: on them. I'm proud of this bunch. They competed their
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: tails off in here tonight. They competed out there at
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: the end when they were tired. I'm proud of them,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: and I thought we played well enough to win the game.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: I'm sick for these guys, sick for these players, sick
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: for these coaches, said well, mostly sick for our fans
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: if we didn't bring home or win. But I am
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: proud of the way we've competed tonight.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Well, it's good he's proud. Here's a glitch at the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: end of that, But I'm glad that he's proud. It's
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: nice that he's Jerry's proud of you. Okay, here's more.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Here's Mike. Actually, here's Jerry Jones on whether or not
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: ties are necessary. Do we need ties in the NFL.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Here's Jerry Jones.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: I don't want to That game was probably a great
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: game for the NFL as far as the showcase for
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: the game and competition, because you had outstanding quarterback play,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: you had some very talented people out there playing. You
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: certainly had one of the most expensive players in the
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: history of the NFL out there playing. And so I
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: guess everybody was going to take a look tonight and
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: decide to see it work all there?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, so apparently not. That's so backhanded shot there by
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. But here's the deal. To answer the question,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: how does this tie and Micah Parsons return to Dallas
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: play for Jerry Jones and the Cowboys, Well, it plays
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: so Jerry gets to strut around like a banti rooster
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: running around there. That's Jerry Jones, their chest puffed out.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: His team didn't drown in the cheese fondue they were
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: supposed to drown in. They were supposed to go deep
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: down into that cheese fondue and not be able to
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: breathe there on Sunday night. And that's all it takes.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And the Cowboys didn't win the game. And if you
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: don't win, you're a loser. But they were a touchdown
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: underdog in this game. The gambling market had the Green
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Bay Packers winning by a wide margin. Vegas basically told
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the world in terms of this matchup here that the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Cowboys were going to get a Wisconsin baptism in boiling
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: cheddar and that certainly did not happen in this game.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And you say, well, Jerry Jones defense, the Cowboys defense
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: could not have stopped a leaky faucet. That is accurate.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: In fact, how bad was it? The Green Bay Packers
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: went three touchdowns, two field goals on their second half
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and overtime possessions. They had five possessions after halftime, three
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and two field goals. That's five scoring drives. My computer,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: like brain tells me five scoring drives. And I think
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that's all of the possessions. I believe. I think five
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: for five of my math is correct on that. But
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Dallas still still despite that, ended up in a tie situation.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: And all that matters to Jerry Jones is that Michaeh
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Parson sucked. At any time, he cannot suck, vindicating his
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: trade of Michah Parsons. The guy's not a big game players.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: That's the argument. When I was with the Cowboys, the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: guy disappears, he comes tiny in big spots. And that
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: was what Michael Parsons did on this night. That's that
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: perfect capsule of Michael Parsons as an NFL player. Total
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: fraud in big games, total fraud. And Jerry Jones can
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: walk around smiling from ear to ear and all that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and postgame I saw some of the interview that Jerry did.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: We played a couple of clips there for you, but
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, it was a kiddy cat moment for Jerry Jones.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: He was like a cheshire cat's smile from ear to ears,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: so happy, so happy. Right, I gets to sit there
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: in his luxury suite look down at all this waving
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to the cameras, knowing that he's on the NBC feed
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: twenty times during the broadcast, and he can they can
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: pump out some of his classic quotes like the Gospel
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: of Jerry's World and all that stuff is just great.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: And forget a tie, because that's a win, baby, for
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. That is a win for Jerry Jones. And
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: all you trash talking people. You can't talk trash to
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. Now he literally said afterwards in one of
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the quotes I saw Dak he said, his indispensable Micah, isn't.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's the end of the story there. So
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Micah Parsons was supposed to be Lawrence Taylor two point
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: zero was supposed to be that when it mattered. You
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: didn't see him, say where'd he go? He's invisible? Where
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: did he go? Maybe he's having a snack. I don't
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: know where you went, jogging around like he's stuck in
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: molasses out there, the highest paid non quarterback in the NFL.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Everything is bigger in Dallas. If you happen to see
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones postgame interview, everything's bigger. Even the cold sore
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: on Jerry's his lip. There very large, very very large there.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Man alive, my god. It's all part of the circus though.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: It's all part of the circus at Jerry's world. There
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the extra dry it's got eat it up and then wins,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: losses or ties, win losses or ties, they're just the backdrop.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: It's Jerry Jones doing performance art. That's what it does.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: This was a a net positive for the Dallas Cowboys here.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Why because The Cowboys did not embarrass themselves. They didn't defensively,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: but it didn't matter because the offense embarrassed the Green
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Bay Packers, who are total Does anyone disagree with that?
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: By the way, how can you disagree that the Packers
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: are frost They lost at Cleveland. They gave the game
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to clean ooy last week, and now they they lose
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: like in a game they had circled. The Cowboys pathetic
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and so it's not the Cowboys that are laughing stock,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it's the Green Bay Packers. This is their time. They
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: went for it. They went We got Michael Parsons to
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: give up forty points in a big game that they
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: had circled. Man And you know, now Jerry can crow
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: about Michael Parsons being expendable and go on and on
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: about that, going to challenge him, not at this point
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: all right now quickly, I know this is an NFL
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Sunday to a Monday, and very rarely do we ever
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: talk about anything other than football on a Sunday into
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a Monday. However, this is an exception to the rule.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: There's such a juicy story I cannot avoid it. In
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, the regular season came to an end
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: in baseball, and it ended with an awesome dud. Just
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: an amazing collapse in baseball. Congratulations to the Metropolitans and
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: just a wonderful job. Good job boys, way to go
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: if you've missed it. The Mets needed the Reds to
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: lose and then they had the win to f things
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: up in the baseball playoff race. Because it was the
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: last day of the year, the Reds had a one
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: game lead. So what happened. The Reds lost their game.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Everyone was playing at the same time. The Reds lost
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: their game. So the Mets all they had to do
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: was beat the Marlins, the lowly pathetic Marlins who haven't
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: tried to win in years, and the Mets do they
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: do bupkis. They went out there and got shut out
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and Francisco Lindor ended up hitting to a double play.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Good afternoon, good evening, good night. Turn in your uniforms.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Your season is over over, So Cincinnati will play the Dodgers.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Advice to the Reds get into that Dodger bullpen, keep
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the game close in the late innings. You'll have a
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: good chance to win the game. But the Reds and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Dodgers will play New York. Now their next opponent can
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: kun suntan lotion. That's the next opponent for the Mets.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Chances are they'll probably drown in suntan lotionan somewhere on
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a tropical resort down in the Bahamas. Now the question here,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: can you explain? Can you explain the twenty twenty five
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: New York Mets failing to make the playoffs? Playoffs? Can
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you explain the twenty twenty five Mets failing to make
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the playoffs? So this is perfection, this is dotting the eye. Now,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I don't enjoy this as much as I enjoyed the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: cheating es one one thousand and two, one thousand holes
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: not making the playoffs, haha, losers. But I did enjoy
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the Mets not getting it done. And you've got owner
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: of Steve Cone who is playing monopoly with real cash,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: just burning money, just burning money. One Soto seven hundred
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and sixty five million dollar outfielder, Juan Soto, who was
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: supposed to be the Messiah, the great Savior, and flushing
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and another season you can flush down the toilet there
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: for the Mets. Now, did one Soto care? And we
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: know what he said afterwards? You think he actually cared
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Jan Soda. I didn't get that vibe. I never get
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the vibe from Juan Soto that he's really that upset
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: by anything the team does. He does get upset when
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: he doesn't get his stats. He's annoyed by that. But
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: in terms of wins and losses for the team, I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: don't get that sense. Sodo is. He just doesn't give
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: that vibe like he cares about any thing in terms
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: of winning and losing. Here Sodo is just happy because
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: if you click on his baseball reference page later on Monday,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: it'll look really shiny, really sexy, some good numbers, the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: standing standing schmandings. Who cares about the standings there? And
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: he's really into yoga. Juan Soto, he led the Mets
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: in Downward Dog. Downward Dog. There went from best record
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: in baseball a couple months into the season to playing
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: like those hungry puppies chasing after scraps. That's the Mets.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Forty five wins by June. For the New York Metropolitans
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: forty five wins by June, and then they turned into
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the bad news bears of baseball with better uniforms. Three
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty million dollars circus act. The Mets the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: highest payroll in baseball, and they couldn't outlast the Cincinnati Reds.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: For crime out loud, How crazy is that? How wild
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: is that the Reds are in the playoffs and the Mets,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the big, bad, big Apple Mets are not in the playoffs.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: And while all of this is going down, all of
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: this is going down, you've got one Soto. He's got
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: that kind of Hey, I'm good, bro, Grinn, you know,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: he's got that look, I'm good, bro, Bro, I'm good. Hey,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: let's say I got my numbers. You know, It's like
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: he's he's like the dude in the gym. You go
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to the gym who flexes in the mirror while the
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: rest of the team is puking in the corner, and
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: he's kind of looking himselves. Got a little chain on,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: it's kind of flexing a little bit. Look at looking.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: How good I look? Because he got stats? He did,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: he got off to the ironic things. The Mets won
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: forty five games by June, and Soto was not playing
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: particularly great the first couple months of the year. He
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: started putting up numbers and the team actually got worse.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Explain that one to me, it happened. It absolutely happened,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and he got his numbers, he got a little Instagram highlights.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: You know, the low information fan, the dumb fan gets
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: all horny for the stats. You know, the TikTok crowd.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: They're all excited about that. And he'll sleep fine. I
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: don't even not worried about it. You think SODA's really
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: worried about it. You're not worried about that. He's gonna
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: sleep like Scrooge McDuck in a big pit of money.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: All you losers to care about teams making the playoffs?
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? And all those Mets fans sitting
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: on that seven train, right and they're all bummed out
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: another season ending without the playoffs there and wondering what
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the hell happened? And SODA's not worried about that. You've
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: got Soto whose contract is bigger than the GDP of
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: several countries. Right, it's just insane in the return on investment,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the ro O I for Juan Soto in terms of October.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about any kind of October performance. He's not there.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: It's pathetic and the Mets fans, who are the real
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Met fan not the fake Met fan, the real Met
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: fan who's bleeding out on the operating table because their
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: team sucks again, it doesn't make the block. And then
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you got your star player there, who's posing for selfies
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: in the hospital gift shop. Such a juxtaposition between Juan
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Soto and the rest of the team. So you've got
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Stephen Cohen, the owner of the Mets, and we all
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: remember he promised for the Mets. Owner promised for Leon.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: He said, five years, we're gonna win a World Series.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Well this is I believe you're five. They don't even
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Instead of forlet mayon, you get a
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: nice plate of spam. That's it. Enjoy the spam and
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: expect some pink slips. Someone's losing their job, whether it's
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the pitching coach, the hitting coach, the manager, or all
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: of the above. There will be some changes there coming
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: to the New York Metropolitans.

• 25:30
  Speaker 1: tire buying should be. That's what Alf and Fergdog tell me.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: So I lead this hour from Camzaw City where the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Ben Mallard chicken fingers are piping hot there at the
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: landing in Liberty, Missouri, a great Mallor meet and greet
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: last November. It's almost been a year now, closing that
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: another month and a few days away from our last
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: get together there in Kansas City. But the Ravens in
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: town to take on the Chiefs. And one of these
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: teams was looking at a one in three start, the
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: other one back to five hundred, a lot on the line.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: If you didn't see this game, you didn't miss much.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: It was a domination situation. I was multitasking. Not only
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: was I observing in person the Indianapolis Colts, Danny Dimes
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and the Colts taking on the rams that I was
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: monitoring the other games going on, including this one, and
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: not much, not much to worry about in this game,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: as Patrick mahomes mahonee throwback performance there two hundred seventy
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: yards passing, not one, not two, not three, four touchdown passes,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: a turn back to the clock. We're still good type story.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: As the Chiefs get it done there. They jumped all
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: over the pathetic Ravens. They were missing by the time
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the game hitded seven defensive starters and the backups. They
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: suck thirty seven twenty the victory there. In the matchup
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: of what had been AFC Bohaemos but not now. Kansas
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: City back to five hundred and they picked up a
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: game on the Chargers in the division, who lost to
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the Giants. Now four different players spreading it around, four
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: different players caught touchdown passes from the Chiefs. Xavier Worthy
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: returned after missing a bunch of time there from the
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: shoulder injury, had five catches for eighty three yards. A
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: quiet performance by Travis Kelcey in this game. But Kansas
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: City's offense like a firecracker all of a sudden in
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: this game. They've been struggling and for the first three
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: games rather pathetic but not in this game. But the
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: better story, though, is in the losing locker room. So
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: let's focus in on the team from Maryland. As we
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: discussed the question how bad are things looking right now?
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: We do the show today, how bad are things looking
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: for John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens. They are one in three,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: their quarterback is in the injury tent. How are things
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: looking for the Ravens? So I've got ASTech, Mark Twain
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: and Santa Claus and we will come all of these
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: things together and we're going to make delicious crustables, the
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: grape crustables. That's what we're gonna make there. Just absolutely
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: get so number number, yes, number one number all right
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: now on the patented Malard scale of panic, which homeless
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Mike Contempee knows is the number one way to approach
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: when a team is having problems here. So on the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: patented Mallard scale of panic one to ten, with ten
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: being getting a message on your phone that this is
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: not a warning there are ballistic missiles coming inbound. Number
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: when they accidentally did that in Hawaii few years back. Yeah, yeah, anyway,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: So on that scale, i am at an eight point five.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: I am at an eight point five for the Baltimore Ravens.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: That's where I am the Ravens brand. What is the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Ravens brand. It has been defense machismo, which is toughness
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and intimidation. That's the Ravens. That's always been the Ravens. Defensively,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: this year they are bottom feeders. They are bottom feeders here.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Out gained in every single game, yes even against the Browns.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Out gained in every single game this season. They're thirty
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: second in total defense, which I'm told is not good.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: They're also dead last in not just scoring defense, but
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: in total defense. They're dead last. They're giving up thirty
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: three point three points per game. They being the team
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: from Baltimore, which is half the sign of the Devil.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Three three three, half the sent of the Devil. You're
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. Your entire identity, your entire identity is defense, defense, defense,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: And now you are getting shish kebab shredded like taco
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: meat every single week, every single week here. And this
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: is a new low water mark. You figured coming off
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the Monday night game against the Lions, which was pathetic.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: You know, Okay, things are gonna be better. It's a
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: short week, but you can play a little bit better
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: and everyone figures things out defensively when they play Kansas City,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: everyone's in a better mood when you play the Chiefs offense.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: And they could have the way they played defense in
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: this game. They could have just put out that they
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: being the Ravens. They could have put out tackling dummies
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: on one side and traffic cones on the other and
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the results would have been the same. And it's it's bad.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: It's bad. How bad is it? It's so bad right
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: now that we're heading down a path where we're gonna
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: have an as tech like sacrifice. There's gonna be an
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: as tech like ritual sacrifice here. In terms of the
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: coaching staff, that defensive coordinator Zach Orr has to be
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: on borrowed time here, He's got to be on thin eyes. Injuries,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I believe I heard this from my mentor sports with
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: He told me that injury is a part of the game.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: It's how you handle that and how you approach that
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: that matters. And you don't get trampled on. That's not
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: rising up next, man up, do your job. All that
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: crap that's getting punked, and the Ravens are getting punked
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: on a weekly basis here, So the easy move would
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: be to just dump Zach or get rid of him.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: He's only been there a couple of years. And then
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: you've got Chuck Pagano who's on the staff. Although he's
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: not doing that great either, I believe he's the secondary coach.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: You could elevate Pegano and make him the defensive coordinator
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: interim for the rest of the year. And John Harball
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: he's over there. He's worried about Lamar's hammy, which went whammy,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: not hammy goes whammy for Lamar Jackson. Now, no update,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get that later on Monday. There'll be a
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: battery of tests for Lamar Jackson. But he left the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: game early. And we learned that Cooper Rush, Yes, that
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Cooper Rush, the old cowboy guy. Cooper Rush is the
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback there for the Ravens. The Ravens in the
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: span of four weeks have gone from playoff lock, playoff
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: lock to Star Trek Beam me Up, Scottie in four weeks.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: And they're not only banged up here at this particular point,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: they're cursed. You've got Ronnie Stanley, Rokwan Smith, Marlon Humphrey,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: somebody named Nate Higgott Wiggins and Lamar Jackson himself, all
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: of those players hobbling off the field like they were
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: extras in saving private Ryan there in that particular game.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: And you look at the secondary and they blow. It's
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: like a pirate there. Sit blows. That's the Ravens secondary here,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and big old chunks. You get a chunk play, you
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: get a chunk play. You get a chunk play. And
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: so you are what your record says you are. Baltimore
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: is one in three at this point. They are at
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the very bottom in many very important categories right now.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: They are closer to getting a top five pick in
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six NFL Draft than they are being
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Now, I will be Benny Brightside,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna say here to say Ray Lewis
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: is walking back through that door. Ed Reid's walking back
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: through that door. But if you look at what has
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: happened in the division, the reason I'm at any point
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: five right now. But if you look at the big
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: picture here, you look at the Browns, same old sorry
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: ass Browns. They stuck. They're just terrible. The Bengals who
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: play on Monday night. They don't have Joe Burrow, he's
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: out for the year, and it looked like they had
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: never picked up a football when they played Minnesota last
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: week in their game. We'll see what they do against
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the Broncos tonight, but they appear to not know whether
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the ball is stuffed or puffed, and so we'll see
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: what happens in that game this weekend. So there's still
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: some avenues to go down. However, if Lamar Jackson obviously
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: is out for an extended period of time, then everything
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: becomes radioactive. It's like Chernobyl like with Lamar being out.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Good luck on that. Now, on the other side, page
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: two cans a city we go and how are things
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: looking for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs after they get
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: back in the win column. So it's happy days are
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: here again and happy days are here again. Now, this
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: is exactly what the old doctor ordered there for Big
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Red Andy Reid. They had not scored more than twenty
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: three points, they being the Chiefs all season, and then
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: they drop a thirty seven burger on top of the
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens pathetic defense. Mahomes could have been wearing a
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Hawaiian shirt out there sipping a my tie during the game.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: That's how little resistance he faced by the Baltimore defense.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: And it's like Mark Twain. The famous quote attributed to
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Mark Twain. You don't know who that is. Bad job
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: by your teachers, but the famous quote is the reports
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: of the chief's death are greatly exaggerated. Everyone buried them.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: And then Kansas City shows up. They had the oxygen,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: they had the defibrillator ready to go.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: There.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: They zapp some life back into their season with that
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: win over the Ravens and all those think pieces, the
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: endless think pieces. The dynasty is over. Down goes Kansas City.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Not so fast, my friend, not so fast, not yet,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: as the Kansas City able to get their mojoe back
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: at least for a day. And they were surgical in
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: this game. Seven scoring drives out of nine, seven out
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: of nine scoring drives, and they had one punt, only
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: won and missed a long field goal. That's it. That's
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: like Tiger Woods in his prime. Seven of nine. And
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: you know, parror better on every hole, par better on
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: every hole for the team from from Kansas City and
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: the little things. Four to four on fourth down, My
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: computer like man tells me that's one hundred percent, which
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: is I'm told is good. And it's not like trust
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: the process. It's not that that says that's stepping on
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: someone's throat when you go four to four on fourth down,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: red zone, almost seventy sixty seven percent in the red
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: zone and actually finishing drives, not settling for all field
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: goals here. And then you got the Kansas City defense
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: and you said, what's going on with that? Well, Derrick Henry,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: who had been the big bad Wolf of the NFL
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: and years pasty and neither hear sakwon Barkley's playing all
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: that well this year. Don't tell anybody, but Derrick Henry,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the big bad Wolf again boxed up like a clearance
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: item at over the Christmas holidays, which are coming up
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: forty two rushing yards now. To be fair, the Ravens
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: didn't run the ball that much because they were getting smoked.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: They were being pull axed by Kansas City in this game.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: But that's a shut off vault, a valve for the
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: defense there. For the Chiefs. They shut down, turned the
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: shut off valve on there, and for all the funeral
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: funeral potatoes that were being baked there for the Chiefs.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: This game was a big shut up type mall for them.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Now you gotta follow it up. You know they're not dead.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: They're not dead. They just needed the Ravens to show up.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, the Ravens showed up
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: and the red carpet was rolled out, and right this way,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: right this way, step on up, step bought up, and
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: you're you're gonna feel really good, really good. If you
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: look at the Chiefs and this win. You need to
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: start stacking wins, right They always say we got stack wins? Well, okay,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: is that a doable thing? Kansas City has run the gauntlet.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: They had to play the Chargers, the Eagles, and now
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: you mix this game in with the Baltimore Ravens. They
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: also had the Giants, which is a cupcake, but you
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: look ahead him it's manageable. Next week the Chiefs play Jacksonville,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: and even though Jacksonville has a nice record, we still
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: don't take them seriously. Then they have a showdown with
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: the Lions. That'll be a tough one. That's at Arrowhead,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I believe, And then they have the Raiders. So two
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: of the next three are certainly winnable games, and even
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the Lions game when you have Mahomes, it's always a
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: winnable game in that particular situation. Now, meanwhile, as we
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: turn the page from Kansas City, we go to Jersey
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: mentioned the Giants. Here the Giants upset Jim Harbaughs Chargers
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: the question New York rookie quarterback Jackson Dart the toast
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: of the Big Apple. Here his debut as a starter
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: described as quote impressive. Do you agree or disagree that
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart and his first start with the Giants was impressive?
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: So I saw this and it got my attention as
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Are you bloody kidding me? Here?
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: That was not impressive. That's not the word I would use.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: My word for Jackson Dart and his debut there was
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: sufficient but not impressive. He was adequate. Jackson Dart was adequate.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: He didn't hit the middle of the dart board. He
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: was on the dark board, but he didn't hit the
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: middle part of it. His longest completion was eighteen yards
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: in the game. That's it. Jackson Dart averaged five zero
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: point six yards per pass attempt. He was sacked five times.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: He was sacked five times. He coughed up a fumble,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: which he did recover, but he fumbled the ball. So
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: that's impressive. Really, people calling that impressive? How is that impressive?
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Come on now, now, Jackson Dart did have fifty four
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: yards rushing, which is fine. I am I gonna sit
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: here and spit a loogie at fifty four yards rushing. However,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: when your rushing average is almost identical to your yards
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: per pass attempt, which this is, by the way, that's
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: generally not good. That generally is not all that good.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: And so it's not a guy who's tipping the bar,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: and you know, it's like, come on, he just he
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: did enough. That's it, and that's what we're gonna leave
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: it here. And the expectations were if they were any
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: lower for a New York Giants quarterback, then they'd be
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: buried six feet under. Like that's how pathetic the Giants
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: are that Jackson Dart didn't really play all that well.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: But it's like, oh, well, you look good. Oh my god,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: he's so good. No, he's not. This was the Giants
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: essentially saying, hey, just don't get in the way. Justin
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Herbert is giving us the game. Justin Herbert's handing us
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: the game. He's gift wrapped it like he's one of
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: the elves for Santa Claus and ten points. Two red
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: zone turnovers by Justin Herbert. Two turnovers deep inside. When
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I said red zone, giving the Giants the ball deep inside,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: charge your territory, both of them, both of them within
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: the five yard line, and that set up the Giants
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: off it. The Giants scored eleven points without Justin Herbert
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: handing the game and handing the football to the Giants.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Without that, they scored eleven points. That's it. So let's
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: not sit here and rewrite history on what happened. Jackson
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Dart was not great, right, He wasn't good. He wasn't
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: even above average. He was passable. And that's how bad
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: the Giants quarterbacks have been. That passab will gets you
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: a little tingly, your little tingley because you got passable,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: like moving man, our buddy the movie man's all excited
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: because he's all this is great and all this stuff,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: and again it was it was just it wasn't above average.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: It was just kind of passable, that was it. And
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: not impressible, ordinary, middling, those are other words we could use.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahlor Show. Now, if you would
