  Speaker 1: On the vast and emphatically powerful microphones, EV are ammundating
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: live live from the classroom as we are always learning
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: new things. I was learning about tsunamis earlier from the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by the Green Bay
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Gobbler doesn't have to worry about that. Of course, not
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: really worried either. And this portion of the Ben Maler
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Show made possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: For over forty years, ti Iraq has been helping customers
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. That's the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: thumbs up over there you see in the background from
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: alf and Fergnog tire i raq dot com the way
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: tire buying should be. So our lead. This hour is
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: yet again from a contract stalemate in Auxnard, California's The
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Obligatory Mallard monologue about the tense negotiation between Jerry Jones
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and Micah Parsons. More chatter from Jerry's world. So if
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you've not heard the latest, maybe not. We're hearing things
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: are going the wrong direction. The plot thickens now, the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: gap is widening. Gotta watched the gap. Also the spawn
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of Jerry, That would be Stephen Jones keeping up with
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the Jones. So Stephen Jones, he's the guy that won
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the Genek lottery and was born into great wealth and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: has not had to earn any job. He's gotten because
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: he has the right last name and the right DNA,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: much like Bronnie James. So Stephen Jones claims the Cowboys
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the NEPO baby Stephen Jones claims the Cowboys don't drag
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: their feet on contract negotiations, as he snickered. So let
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question for the esteem panel. So Edge
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Rusher Micah Parsons said to be further away from a deal,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: further away from a deal with the Cowboys today, further
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: away from a deal with the Cowboys right now then
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: he was back in late March. So give me your reaction.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: So I've got Frankenstein, Austin powers and underlying issue, and
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together, and we
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: are going to say calabunga dude, all right, because when
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you're riding the tsunami, you gotta say calabungadoo. So my reaction,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a my reaction is, you know what this is. This
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: is old man engagement farming. That's it. That's my hypothesis.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: It's old man engagement farming. This is a billionaire owner
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: who's been around since the nineteen eighties as an NFL owner.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: He's not doing the TikTok. He doesn't know TikTok from
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a toaster. Jerry Jones. He doesn't use Instagram, and he's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: too old even for Facebook. You're not on there. He
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't give a damn about X. He's still reading those
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: old newspapers and he's using a flip phone and all that,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and that's how he lives his life. But he does
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: know how to stir the pot. He loves to stir
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the pot right vague references and press conferences, BS flowing,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a soliloquy of BS there, and he knows how to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: keep people engaged and the tension starved Dallas faithful, foaming
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: at the mouth and reacting even though Jerry's been doing
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: this for two generations now, two generations and people still react.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It's wild. Now, why is that? Because Jerry Jones. After
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a minutes long mall Or investigation, we determine Jerry Jones
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: does not run the Cowboys like a football team. He
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: runs it like he's doing a Vegas residency. He might
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: as well be carat top. But in this case, Jerry,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: he is Frankenstein. When it comes to owners. He's equal
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: parts P. T. Barnum and Vince McMahon. If you combine
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: them together. They had a baby, which is very odd
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: because Jerry's older than them, but still just go with it. Well,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: not P. T. Barnum but Vince McMahon. So Jerry wakes up.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I'm convinced in very expensive sheets every morning, and he
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: asked himself, how can I, Jerry Jones hijack the NFL
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: news cycle today? What can I Jerry Jones do to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: get everyone running around? And so today's story is further
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: away from a deal than back in March. Now, Pollie,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that is not a negotiation problem. That is a script line.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Is what that is. That's in the script is what
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: it is. And Jerry's sitting in his yacht somewhere off
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the coast of Aux Gard there, and he's got his
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: bottle of Johnny Walker blue and he's whispering sweet nothings
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: in the night right now and saying, you know, y'all,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: uh really fire up the social media there. I'm gonna
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: fire him up right now. Here's what I'm gonna do.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: You just wait and see. He's not worried. Even Michael
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Parsons said I'm never playing again and retiring, Jerry wouldn't
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: be concerned. And we know that these negotiations, whether it's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys or eybody else, it doesn't get serious until there's
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a countdown clock. Because what happens T T Dick eventually
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: boom right, gotta see all the cowboy fanboys in the media,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the people that freak out Steven A. Smith, those those
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: guys having veins bursting from their neck. And that's when
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Jerry's happy. And so Jerry didn't forget to pay anybody.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And uh, as far as the calary, the salary cap
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: space or Calgary space, the salary cap space, you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: it's about staying relevant. That's really what this is about.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: And Jerry Jones knows the only thing worse than bad press,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: no press and no internet coverage and all that stuff.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And secondly, the cowboy fans right, stop chanting pay Micah.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Jerry's got them to chant that louder there. The second though,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: they stop calling into sports radio and posting things online.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: And Jerry, you go on the YouTube there and then
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the moment that you don't see Jerry Jones boattox face
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: on the YouTube, you know that that's when he panics.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: That's when the panic sets and he's like, oh man,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: oh whoa. In the meantime, he's just tossing logs on
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the fire. You know, you got to keep the logs
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: on the fire and keep the fire burning. And that's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: what you do. And you know some of you don't
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: like it, and you send me what do you always
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: talk about the Cowboys? I don't know, because people seem
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to engage it. We have the data. If you stop
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: listening when I talk about the Cowboys, you stop downloading
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the podcast and listening to the streams on iHeart and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: all that. I'll move on. But it's a good formut
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: so Jerry's the choreography on the Drama ol Rama. The
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: script does not end until Jerry Jones says cut. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I maintained my long standing position that all of this
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: will come down to right before the kickoff of the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: NFL season, and on those NFL pregame shows, which are
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: archaic at this point with the age of the Internet,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: it's just a chuckle fest. It's like going to the improv, nonetheless,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and I love going to the improv, don't get me wrong.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I just don't need to see a bunch of ex
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: jocks in their sixties chanting and laughing on television anyway. Nonetheless,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they'll get done at the very last second, Jay Glazer,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: this show just didn't There's a deal done all right now. Meanwhile,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: we go to Los Angeles.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Follow up, follow.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Up, Alert, follow up alert. You might remember in a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: previous episode of the show, we told you about a
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: fireworks extravaganza that went back.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Charges coach Jim Harbaugh has given us a status update
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: on the running back who did not play was safe
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: insane fireworks? Well, it's not good running back Najie Harris,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Nasei Harris of the Chargers. Now, I used to be
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: with the Steelers running back Naji Harris. He's got a
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: really messed up by like some of the stuff I've heard,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: if it's true, really bad. He still does not have
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a timeline Naji Harris on when he will actually practice.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Not a guy. Not a guy. We talked about practice,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: so he hadn't practiced yet because you can't see. And
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it's not blind football. I bet your Stevie Meatballs could
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: run the football, or blind Scott or blind Emmett the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Seahawks fan or ink of Terror. The Chargers want a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: running back, they can bring those guys in, all right,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts on this development? Jim Harbaugh
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: saying that that Naji Harris still does not have any
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: timeline to practice, all right. So first off, this is
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: exactly why you you would have listened to our public
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: service announcement, never ever trust anything ah and say, or
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: for that matter, coaches. We know not to trust politicians.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: But this is this is different. This is sports. So Frostburg,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: who works on the Jason Smith Show with the Great
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Mike Harmon Harmon in here in the big chair, and
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I saw Frostburg in the hallway. He's like, I'm going
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: off to Canton because he travels with the Chargers and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: they're going to be playing in the Hall of Fame game.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: And so that game's coming up on Thursday. So it's
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: we're just like, I believe it's on Thursday. So it's
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a couple days away, the Hall of Fame game, I believe.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: And anyway, so they're going there, and and so they're
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: about to begin exhibition games, the Chargers, and Najie Harris
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: hasn't practiced yet, right, but these ages I go, they'll
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: tell you all that my guy runs a four three forty. Yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and he can actually levitate like in the Bible. Yeah,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and he can turn water to wine. You can do
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: all those things, yeah, absolutely, Okay. And then in this case,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: well it's just a little scratch or anything like the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: minor incident. Yeah, just like a little flick or fleck
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of debris that got in the eye. Yeah, then if
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that's the case, why is Jim Harball of all people,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: not exactly mister transparency if you followed him with the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Niners in Michigan over the years, telling reporters there is
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: still no timeline. There is no timeline. Now if a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: player misses this much time, there's a good amount of time.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Can we still say it's a superficial injury because that's
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: what they said, right, It ain't superficient. Obviously, it's not superficial.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: You don't have to be a doctor to know it's
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: not superficial. You don't miss multiple weeks of training camp
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: unless your eyeball or in this case, Najie Harris eyeball
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: most likely looks like he lost a street fight to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: a bottle rocket at this particular point. Unfortunately, and let's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: not ignore the larger picture here, because we take a
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: couple of steps back, Nase is already on thin ice.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: He didn't get a long term contract with the Chargers.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: He did not. He was underwhelming, certainly underwhelming with the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Steelers that the tenure there was not good. So change
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the scenery guy, fresh start and if you look at
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: his body of work, Naji Harris, you watch the clips
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: of Nase, what kind of runner is he? So if
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you like the three yard dive, play checks that box
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: force touches, just awkward, no separation, no long runs, that's
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: your guy. So now he's in LA with the Chargers.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: It's probably his last best opportunity to be a running
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: back one. If he screws this up, he can get
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: out of job somewhere. It's not going to really be
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: legit like a legit opportunity. And so now if this
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: is accurate that the the eye is completely messed up.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: And so now he's like one of doctor Evils henchmen.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I think it was number two from the Austin Powers
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: trilogy there. And he's gonna have to wear an eyepatch
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: or something like that. And which is I guess the
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: case this is going? The way it's going, it sounds
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that way is really mis messed up. Either way, even
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: if he comes back in plays, this is going to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: be a public service announcement right around the fourth or
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: July from NFL Productions NFL Films. Hi, my name Isndre Harris.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: You might remember me. I used to play for the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, and they went out to the Chargers there
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and I blew my eye out. My career with the
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Chargers literally ended by playing with fireworks. Don't be like me,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the PSA right light, sparkler safe, insane. Do not light
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: your retina on fire. Do not light your retina. I know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I hopefully NA. She's all right. It does not sound
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: like it's going very well. And the lesson I learned
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: working in radio is that we're all replaceable, very replaceable.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: So it's certainly running backs in football are easily replaced.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Right now, last word to the Valley of the Sun,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a long standing nemesis, we have been victorious in our
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: battle with alligator arms. Murray the quarterback there, the pint
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: size quarterback of the fledgling Arizona football team. So Cardinals
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: quarterback Kyler Murray announced recently that his knee is as
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: close as it's going to get to full strength. His
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: little knee there. He had acl surgery's recovered from that.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: So is this a big deal, a little deal, or
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: you know, no deal? All right, So you're probably thinking,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it's a little deal because he's a
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: little quarterback I'm not gonna say that that's too easy.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: That's too easy. I'm gonna go on my scorecard. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: wrote down a meh deal because Kyler Murray is a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: meh quarterback. That's the kind of quarterback games. Good old
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: alligator arms Murray, Good old alligator arms Murray. Right, and listen,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: we know training camp is not like real football. It's
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: gone softer and softer and softer over the years, so
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: it's not real. It's not real football. You know, nobody's
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: trying to rip your head off. And if you're playing
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: quarterback like Kyler Murray, you don't have to worry about
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: looking down at Jared Verse of the Rams trying to
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: rip your head off, and you know, jump jump down
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: your throat. So it's essentially summer school in pads. That's
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: what this is. And so let's see how the knee
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: holds up, the little knee and when the real Wolves
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: are out there in week one of the regular season
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: in September. Now, the underlying issue here, the underlying issue
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: is not the ACL. It's the a cl What a
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: crumbling legacy, that's the ACL. A crumbling legacy for Kyler Murray.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Now we have been on top of this story for
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: some time. Right, we've seen this. Now you got paid,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: so good for him. He got the money. But in
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: terms of just pure football, Kyler Murray every year, I'll
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: tell you, Scot he comes out every year like a
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: bottle rocket. Right. I I don't want to if nag
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: he's upsetting listening. I don't want up staying. But he
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: comes out like a Kyler Murray, like a bottle rocket.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: And then what happens. He fizzles out. He fizzles out.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: He's not Mighty Mouse. He's not Mighty Mouse. He's just
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: a mouse. That's it. He's a little pint sized, jittery
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: shoulder pad wearing video game obsessed rodent. That's what he
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: is right there, right, and in the alligator arms. You
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: look at his career arc at this point, and the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: same thing. He'll come out in November like game Busters,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: or in September and October like game Busters. Then we
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: get to it's about November, sometime in November, usually about
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: mid November, that good fall weather settles in and all
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And at that point, at that point, Kyler
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: needs a juice box and a nap. Somebody get him
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: a juice box. Can we cook him up. We don't
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: have any all right, fortunate listen, Arizona. They're idiots. They
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: gave this guy a quarter of a billion dollars. Nobody
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: told them to do that, they did, so hey, enjoy this.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: They immediately had buyer's remorse when they signed him to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the contract. They immediately wanted to go a different direction.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: And so they have a quarterback who cannot handle the rigors.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Much like the scouting report before he came into the NFL,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to put up with the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: violence of the NFL over a full season. And that
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: has been proven correct, right, So, and also it's not great.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: The locker room doesn't believe in him. They know what
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: they got middling results from alligator arms Murray, right, and
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you tell me that's my franchise quarterback, my franchise quarterback.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: So the only franchise that Kyler Murray at this point
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: after years in the NFL, the only franchise I believe
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: he could carry is a Chick fil A. Now, the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: reason I believe that he could carry a Chick fil
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: A is because they're not open on Sunday, so I
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: think he'd being good.

• 19:28
  Speaker 7: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, face to

  Speaker 1: By the ostrich Ant. Unless it's not. And this portion
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: of the Ben Mallasom made possible in part by our
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: friends at ti Iraq, has approved by mister nice guy.

  Speaker 1: dot com the way tire buying show be. So our
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: lead this hour is from Ohio, not Kentucky, even though
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the airport for the city of Cincinnati is in Kentucky. No, no, no,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: you can't say no. You can't say northern Kentucky, Ohio.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: It's from Ohio. So it's about the ben Gals. That's
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: a football team, not a great one. So if you
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: haven't heard the latest 's on this stories we talk
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: about the news of the day. This continues to be
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: a developing story. So we've learned now that Trey Hendrickson,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the storm pass rusher for the Cincinnati football team, Trey
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Hendrickson is planning to report to the Bengals today today
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: He's going to show up, thus ending his holdout and
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: transitioning not that kind of transitioning into a hold in.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: That's right, a holding apparently not any closer to a deal.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: It's not like there's some kind of agreement in place. Now.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: The reporting says that by showing up to camp, Trey Hendrickson,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the key part of this will stop getting fifty thousand
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: dollars a day finds chi Ching Chiching. So now, based
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: on the narrative. I always loved the narrative. I was like, well,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: who's leaking the story? Where'd the story come from? So
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the story that's being passed on to the messenger pigeons,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: otherwise know as the useful idiots in the media. The
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: story is that it's a good faith gesture. It's a
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: good faith gesture by Trey Hendrickson, and it will try
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to jump start negotiations that he is the bigger man.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, Trey Hendrickson, who can
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: be yours if the price is right? Trey Hendrickson returning
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: to the ben Gals going to Cincinnati's camp. Is this
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: a good faith gesture as it is being reported? How
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: do you read into this one? So I've got Saint
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Poppy Van Winkle and huntingmooners, and we will combine all
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: of these things together, and we are going to put
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the biscuit in the basket. Is what we're going to do.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: So number I said, number, number, number, So all of
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: this is alt rock, old school alt rock. Little miss
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: can't be wrong, little miss camp be wrong. You know
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the spin doctors. But if you're old, you know who
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: that is. It's a good faith gesture. That's the way
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: it's being reported. That's a good faith test. It's cute,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you think the way it's being reported that Hendrickson when
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: he shows up to Bengals camp, he's going to walk
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: into Zach Taylor's office there with a Hallmark card and say,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: let's make a deal. It's not you, it's me, and
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I'm back, and you know it's all good. No, the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: reason he is showing up, and I don't blame him.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not ripping Trey Hendrickson. The reason he's showing up
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: is he's getting dinged fifty g's a day. Fifty grand
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a day. Now, i'd like to make enough money. I
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: know I won't do it here, but I'd like to
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: make enough money where you can be fined fifty grand
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: a day. That would be great, That would be wonder
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: you'n afford it. So this is not, oh, you're being
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: a cynical talk shows. This is not some kind of gesture. Okay,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: this is math. Is what it is, right, good faith.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I love that they're reporting good faith. That's so so wonderful. Right,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: it's more like a good luck on having to pay
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: my bills because everything's been budgeted and all that and
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I've got an American Express bill I got to take
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: care of and five miss days. You can do the math.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: That's my math is correct. That's two hundred and fifty
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars that this guy has lost. Might be even
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: more than that, but at this particular rate, if I'm
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: advising Trey Hendrickson, okay, I say, well, why not just
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: go into the Bengals facility and light your cigar with
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you know, the one hundred dollars bills And just because
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you're burning money is what you're doing. You're not going
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: to get that money back, and so good luck. So
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: he got dragged into Camp Hendrickson buy his wallet. And
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: again the spin Benny mc spinn spending like a dradle
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: is that he is the patron saint, that he's doing
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the things the right way, Trey Hendrickson, and he wants
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: to be the leader, and he's the bigger man. He's
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: trying to restart the conversation. Ix nay on the narrative.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: This obviously came from Trey Hendrickson. We always like to
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: look at the well, not from him directly, but from
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the people around him who leaked the story. Why would
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the Beangals say that. Bengals wouldn't say that, well, you're
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the bigger man. No, they're gonna say, we're the bigger
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: you know, we want to offer you a fair deal.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: You don't want to take the deal, That's what they're
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: gonna say. So it's pee what stings kind of like
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: that sweaty sock thing in the locker room. That's what
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: it smells like, dirty socks. So again he's showing up
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: because the way the rules are in the NFL and
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: the CBA, they have taken the balls off of the holdout.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: There's no real leverage there other than losing money. Like
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: a lunatic to get fined fifty thousand dollars a day,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: So losing fifty grand a day, that's a mandatory. There
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: is no waiver on that. There used to be a waiver,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: so it is who cares toll just wave it at
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the end. There there's no forgiveness none whatsoever. That is
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the new normal, of course, been that way for years.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: It's not twenty fourteen anymore, it's twenty twenty five, and
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: so there's no opportunity, there's no work around on that.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: So Hendrickson in the game of chicken. He blinked, blinky, blinky, blinky.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: He blinked, plain and simple, you know it. He blinked.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: And so we're supposed to believe that he's doing the
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: team some kind of great mitzvah here. Yeah, So he
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: is under contract for I don't know how he's going
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: to pay his bills at sixteen million dollars. I think
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: we should help him out somehow. So what this means
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: is the Bengals are going to continue to do things
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the Bengals do, because why would they change the Bengals.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: So they're going to slow play this much like a
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: previous hour we talked about in a previous hour of
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: this show, we talked about Jerry Jones, who slow plays everything. Well,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the Bengals will do the same thing. And the only
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: one really sweating here is Trey Hendrickson. So I know
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: there's dumb people that fall for everything, but I would
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: advise you if you think that's legit, that he's the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: bigger man. He's showing up because he wants to get
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: a deal done and that's why he's No. It's not
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: good faith again, it's called I'm tired of bleeding money.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of money. So you hold out, you
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: pay and that's the cost. And so he wants a
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: new deal. But right now he's showing up because he's
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: trying to stop the hemorrhagery of Green, not blood Green.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Page two we go to Motown, Motown Blues we go
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: and that's where the Lions who have been on the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: brink of a big breakthrough that were in the NFC
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Championship game, something that had never happened in my life.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: They were there a couple of years back, and now
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: they have the seal of approval from Chucky. That's right,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: John Gruden, we talked about this a little bit yesterday,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: John Gruden visiting Detroit training came. So there's another gem
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: from John Gruden. Not only did he sing the praises
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: of the Lions, he also compared Jared Goff, the Detroit quarterback,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: to Joe Montana. Do you see this? He used the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: comp that golf in Montana are similar. So how does
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: that sound to you? How does that one sound to you?
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: So I'll go first here because I have a microphone
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: on wet headphone, so I'll get to go first. So
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: I love that John Gruden strolled in to the Lions
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: training camp there, and it's like he had the banana
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: in the in his tailpipe, like he was back on
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Football back in the day. Anything John Gruden
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: says about quarterbacks you take with a grain of salt,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: just a little grain of salt. This is the same
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: John Grud, if I'm not mistaken, who once had a
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: love affair with Nathan Peterman. Remember that, Yeah, that's right, Nah, Yes,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman who famously tossed not one, not two, not
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: three and o four five interceptions in one half of
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a regular season NFL game. You're talking about unbreakable records.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Five interceptions in one half of an NFL game, and
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: John Gruden was out there. You would have thought Peterman
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: was God's gift to the quarterback position. Cruden always treats
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: every quarterback like he's unwrapping. And we know Gruden loves
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to unwrap stuff because that's all he does at that
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: barstool thing. He unrest my Uh, some of my friends
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: send me videos of John Gruden just getting boxes and
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: boxes of free crap to unwrap. He's acting like that
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: kid on YouTube that gets paid just to open stuff. Anyway,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: He's like he's unwrapping a like a vintage bottle of
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Pappy van Winkle, the you know, the bourbon whiskey, very
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: expensive there, and he's holding it up, and then you really, well, John,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: that's actually not that's not what it's actually like a
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: warm can of bud light. Well no, but John's holding
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: it up like it's this amazing thing. But every man, woman,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and child who pays any attention, any attention, knows when
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: it comes to Jared Goff, do I even need to
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: go here? Like Jared Gouff's not Joe Montana, Like Jared
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Goff's not even qualified to be Joe Montana's mechanic at
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: this particular point in time. You know what Jared Goff is.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: He's better than I thought. I'll say that. When he
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: first started, I didn't think he was very good. Now
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I think he's this generation's Alex Smith. He's this generation's
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Alex Smith. He's relatively safe outside of the big moment
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: because he'll choke. He's relatively safe. He's somewhat reliable against
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: subpar or average competition, but he's never really spectacular. He's
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: never really spectacular. And this guy, this guy, if you
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: spoon feed him the playbook. He'll get you some touchdowns
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: and whatnot, and you tell him what to do and
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: where to throw the ball and all that, and just
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: don't tell him to throw deep, because if you tell
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: him to throw deep, he can't do it. He'll throw
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: it short and throw it short, and he'll check down
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: action from Jared Goff there, check down Charlie, and then
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: of course he'll look like he just solved a Rubric's
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: cube because he just checked down. And the thing about
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Golf is he's he doesn't elevate a team like that's
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the point of demarcation for quarterbacks. Do you elevate your
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: your teammates? And Golf doesn't. Just that's the way that
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: we're talking about guy. Everything around him is pristine. You've
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: got good players, a random good coaching. Fine. Golf's like
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: a child, like a little kid that won't eat unless
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: you cut the crust off the bread. You know, we've
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: all been there, right. Normally we grow out of that.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: You know, they's said a lot of uncrustables, so I
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: guess we don't grow out of it anyway. John Gruden though,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the master, the master over the years of football gas lighting.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: It's great, So It's an odd thing because Gruden is
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: suing the NFL. It's getting bounced around the court system
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the lawsuit from Gruden. Yet at the same time he's
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: supposed to be persona non grata because he's emails gunn
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: On he sends some things you're not supposed to say,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: and he said, you know, you hit every ism possible
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: and all that. So he got banned from polite society.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: But yet he shows up all over the place like
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Like the people that coach in the NFL,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: they don't have a problem with John Gruden. It's like
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: it's at a higher level. They have a problem with you,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: like Gruden's How many teams has Gruden shown up to
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: and been part of training camp? Saints, Lions, a couple
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: others too, Ravens. I think he shut up with the Ravens.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I'm probably missing some. But he still talks wax poetic
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: about the The Spider too. Why Banana? He talks about
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: it like it's the Dead Sea scrolls and you believe it.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: When he starts yapping, he's like going on, na Spider too,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Why Banana? And you know, okay, thank you John. And
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: so he's not really like when it comes to quarterbacks,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Gruten's not really analyzing the quarterbacks and all that. He's like,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: it's like he's trying to sell you on a time share,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: and it's not a place you want a timeshare, you know.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: It's like you don't really go overybody. He's like, Oh,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: this is really good. Ah yeah, I got a really
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: good breakfast. The eggs are amazing. The eggs, Benedict are
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: so good. My god. So he's in many ways. One
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: of my favorite all time quotes is from a guy
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: named W. C. Fields get a street named after him
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: in la early Hollywood vaudeville comedian actor. And his quote was,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: bull Pucky. We'll clean that up with Bullpucky. And so
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Joe Montana is a like a Ferrari, an old Ferrari,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: but it's still a Ferrari. And then you got Jared
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Goff is like a Honda Accord. Now more people buy
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Honda Accords than ferraris. You'll see more Honda Accords on
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the road than you will the Ferrari because they're cheaper
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: and and that's why they is a final point we
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: go to La and Jared Goff's old team Rams. You're
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: gonna ram it all day, you can ram it all night.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Now Rams coach Sean McVay has been given a new
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: label by DeVante Adams. He said, Sean McVay is a
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: quote mastermind. Ooh, mastermind. So that is the quote there
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: during preseason practice is Adams going on and on, slobbering
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: all over the Rams coach talking about the college like camaraderie,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: the RAM facility, the organiza, Sean saying he's being rejuvenated.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: That's been rejuvenated. So DeVante Adams will sum it up
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: like this, calling Sean McVay a mastermind is blank fill
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: in the blank. So I love Sean McVay. My word
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: is going to be blasphemy though, and the word I'm
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: using blasphemy because it's really a shot at the Raiders
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: more than anything. Like he's praising he's praising his coach.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: At the same time, he's really saying how bad it
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: was with the Raiders because that was the team he
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: went to training camp with when he was in Vegas
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: for the last couple of years and he finished with
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: the Jets last year. But it's really just taking a
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: so you're like a Raider fan. That's blasphemy. But my
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: other word would be huntingmooners. That would be my other
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: word here because as in orgo the hunting moon period.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: You know, like when you start a new job and
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: it's exciting and you're fired up, and yeah, you think,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: oh man, I'm gonna rise up in the company and
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: they're gonna pay a lot of money and all this stuff,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: and it's gonna be that I'm gonna run the whole company.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: And then you realize someday they'll never do that. But
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: but the honey moon period, you don't. You don't get
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: to that point. At the honeymoon period, you're like everything's great.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: You're seeing rainbows and you're dreaming of lollipops and there's
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: a unicorn over there, and you know, John Gruden, what
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I think Gruden's good? Do I think he's Einstein? I
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: don't think he's Einstein. I don't think he's Einstein On
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: a headsets Is he one of the top three coaches
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: in the NFL? Absolutely? Absolutely right? But right now with
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the ramsay and with DeVante Adams, he's like a on
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: a college campus at ram practice there and it's it's kumbaya.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: It's all good, and it's gets some isawass and we're
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: on our way. And I think I've been to training
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: camp over the years. At this point, there's a lot
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: of grab ass, a lot of grab ass on the
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: practice field, and they use the words all those words culture, energy, loved.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Every team uses the same verbiage every team they talk
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: about culture and energy. So it's giving a motivational pep
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: talk and all that stuff. But soon enough, the test drive,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the test drive turns into race day, and on race
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: day that is when the rubber meets the road and
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: you start seeing some cracks and the tires and all
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Now, Devonte Adams, at this point, I'm not convinced, right,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Davonte Adams, he's doing a high wire act at this point.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see it. And even if
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: he gets off to a good start, I got to
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: see it over the full season, right, because he's walking
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: in cleats on a high wire, tiptoeing over a pit
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: of vipers, a pit of vipers that are being fed
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: daily by father time he's crossed that thirty mark, I
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: think he's I believe he's thirty one now, could be
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: thirty two Devonte Adams. But that cliff for NFL receivers.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: The thing about the cliff for NFL receivers, it comes
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: very fast and there's no warning, Like you know, right now,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: there's a big tsunami warning supposed to the tsunami is
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: going to hit the West coast here in less than
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: an hour. As we're doing this in real time, and
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: there's a warning, there's warnings I expected to hit here
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: and coming up and you know, less than an hour. People,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: you know, some people think, oh my god, it could
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: be brutal. To other people like this is ridiculous, nothing going,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: nothing can happen. There's warning, there's warning, that's my point.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: And there's no warning when a receiver just completely loses it.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Like one second you're a game changer, you're making big plays,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: and the next you're in a desert and you're like,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: what happened. I don't understand what happened? I don't know,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: So I get it. DeVante wants to believe, and I'd
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: love for him to be wonderful. I know pookin the
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Coup is going to be good. I don't know about Davante.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I'm in a show me state of mind. I got
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: to see you. You got to show me. I need
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: to believe in you, So you got to show me
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: what you can do, impress me, and we'll see what happens.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: We get to the later part of November and going
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: to December, and when your hamstring start barking and you're
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: down in the fourth quarter against the divisional opponent and
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: you can't get separation off the line anymore. And you
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: got Sean McVay over there, who's a genius, and he's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: holding a bag of icy hot and he's got some
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: essential oils and he hands it to you, and there's
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: a there's a gift package. It's got the pharmacy great ibuprofen,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: all that right there.

  Speaker 1: I said, how about I said, here we go go?
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Quote out gout, gout go.
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: Well, you talked about him earlier. John Grudden, who was
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: at Lions camp as a consultant, told reporters that hopefully
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: he's not done coaching and that he's about to make
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: a comeback. Yeah, Ben, will it be in the NFL.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Well, anything's probably, but Donald Trump's back as president, anything's possible, right,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: And it is conceivable, Cruden said, we talked about this
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: in yesterday show. He's depending on a friend in one
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: of his coaching buddies to hire him. He's suing the NFL,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: So until that's dropped, I don't see him getting a job.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: But yet, Brian Flores has a job, and he's also
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: part of a lawsuit against the NFL, So I'd say
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: there's a fifteen percent chance Cruden returned next.
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: And it's being suggested that forty nine Ers head coach
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: Kyle Shanahan could be on the hot seat this upcoming season.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Ben, do you think that's true? Uh? Well yeah, I
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: mean Shanahan might just leave because there were rumors he
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: wanted the Bears job and that he had put some
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: feelers out. So yeah, it brock Purty sucks. I could
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: see him leaving next.
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: Charles Barkley was recently asked which teams he thinks has
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: the best had the best offseason in the NBA. Barkley
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: singled out the Nuggets and the Rockets.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Is he right, Well, no, it's the Clippers. They got
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Bradley Beale. They got Chris Paul a couple of legends
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: added to the clip show. So that's the answer. That's it.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: You failed this a way. That's a win. Larey, he
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: met fail is the new win in twenty twenty five.

• 41:20
  Speaker 9: who have kids, significant others. You're gonna you're getting people
• 41:24
  Speaker 9: in trouble out here.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Think about that. I was just laughing because Douglas in
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Mississippi said when he was a kid, his mom used
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: to call all the neighborhood kids the D word, and
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: he said none of us had any idea what it meant.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: Crazy.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: This is so funny, Like, uh, I just I just
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: imagine all the neighborhoo was your mom called?
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: What is that?
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: Even?
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: I wonder we were laughing about.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I was that just the visual of being like,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: you know, a neighborhood kid and you're some mom's calling
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: you that. Yeah, let's see what do we have about
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: ferd Dog says, what does it say about women? A
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: woman if she owns a green sex toy? Is she
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: into aliens?
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 42:07
  Speaker 10: You know it's funny because I do have different toys
• 42:10
  Speaker 10: like that.
• 42:10
  Speaker 9: They have ones that are in the shape of like aliens,
• 42:13
  Speaker 9: like slime arms, and they have alien tongues and alien
• 42:16
  Speaker 9: tails like. You can find all sorts of different toys,
• 42:19
  Speaker 9: and actually, I think the funner the better. Think about
• 42:22
  Speaker 9: how interesting your playdates could be with these.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Women have a different color every day, you are different
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: games the rainbow all right. For some reason, Josh just
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: sent photos of himself, Loren. I guess he's well, I
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: don't think he wants me to look at that.
• 42:38
  Speaker 9: Maybe he's wanting to make a dating profile. Do you
• 42:40
  Speaker 9: think those are good photos for his dating profile?
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems so fine. I don't. I don't think
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: he wants my opinion, Ben, so keep on. I'm good Shane,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: and de Mones says, which of these two terms would
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: you rather be called? Lorena, ma'am or miss? Been yelled
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: at for calling a woman both in my.
• 42:59
  Speaker 9: Life, So yeah, it's funny. Girls are really weirried about that.
• 43:02
  Speaker 9: I prefer miss over ma'am because ma'am is old and
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: I'm not old. I look very young, so I know.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: You really don't want to be called a bashka. That's
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: when you read the old lady that's like a European grandma.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Let's go to she makes a mean a great meat loaf.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Josh in Orlando. You're on with Lorena.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: It's the Queen of Hearts. It's going on Josh.
• 43:28
  Speaker 11: Hey guys, good morning. All right. So I know this
• 43:30
  Speaker 11: is a fun segment, but it's actually a legit serious call.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: So I was the one.
• 43:35
  Speaker 11: I was the one that just on the pictures. So
• 43:36
  Speaker 11: Lorena can get an idea. Oh, I've been online, off
• 43:41
  Speaker 11: and on online for the last five years. I know
• 43:44
  Speaker 11: obviously it's definition of me Kennedy expecting something, you know,
• 43:47
  Speaker 11: different outcome. But what is it with women? Why can't
• 43:50
  Speaker 11: women respond? Or why is it that when you like
• 43:53
  Speaker 11: a certain type of women, those women don't like you,
• 43:56
  Speaker 11: But you get these slump busters.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: I like you, and how do you You know?
• 44:01
  Speaker 9: It's the law of attraction and you got to keep
• 44:03
  Speaker 9: on working at it because you're gonna hit a whole
• 44:05
  Speaker 9: bunch of missuses.
• 44:05
  Speaker 10: You said, you've been doing this for five years. It's
• 44:10
  Speaker 10: maybe maybe mix it with going out at the same time.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
• 44:15
  Speaker 11: People don't do that. These days and you can do
• 44:18
  Speaker 11: do you not do that?
• 44:19
  Speaker 10: There's a difference because people do go out all the
• 44:21
  Speaker 10: time in Orlando.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: There's gonna be some bars and go to Orlando's why,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: you guys, what's the problem is it's a tourist town.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: So you could probably do very well with the tourists there, Josh.
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: But then you see what it's saying there.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: But then families quick hit, I don't know, hit and
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: run up dump Now, Josh, you're fine, man, you look good.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's women out there. Would you know, you'll
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: be fine, You'll.
• 44:42
  Speaker 8: Find the right one.
• 44:43
  Speaker 10: And if you don't, then maybe you are meant to
• 44:45
  Speaker 10: be a bachelor in Paradise.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Or go to the Ukraine or Russia or wherever.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: You know.
