  Speaker 1: And I see no problem with that. Lorena. Welcome in
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to the Ben Malors Show. As a great big men
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: would say in the air everywhere on Fox Sports Radio,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I love the interaction with the Mallard militia. Chicky was
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: first in tonight on the x at Plank Show at
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Hey, Chris, FYI, the militia doesn't like
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: NBA talk. Please don't go there, thank you. I don't
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: know if there is a sport that gets a more
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: visceral reaction when you try to talk about it than
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the NBA. And I live in the market where the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: defending champs reside, and I locally if I bring it up,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: it's like, gosh, dude, enough, Like I just mentioned the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: score of the game. The NBA, I still think has
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: an issue if you're and it's funny because there's diehards
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: that would tell you they have me at the logo.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: It's amazing you're missing out all the fun of the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: regular season. I'm like, I'm fine with that. I'm okay.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Stretches out too long, eighty two games probably too many.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: They've got it's really outside of baseball, which is you know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the longest season there is. It's got a load management issue.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm with you, Chicky. Don't worry. There
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: won't be unless we get news tonight on Nikole Jokich's injury.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: There will not I repeat, there will not be any
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: NBA talk tonight during this year very radio program. Nature Boy,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not watching college football because I'm just sick of ESPN.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll watch the final game if it seems interesting,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Nature Boy, I don't think speaking of image problems, I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen a network that covers sports
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: twenty four having three sixty five that people seem to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: have more disdain for than ESPN. I mean literally, it's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: supposed to super serve us Ainos and Coupe Lourana. You're
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: both younger than me, much younger than me. I mean,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I remember a day when we didn't have ESPN. I
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: remember a day when we didn't have the ticker. I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: remember a day when you know, for me, being a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: fan of West Coast teams living in the Midwest, you
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: predate ESPN. I predate ESPN. Yeah wow, I mean, I'm fifty, bro.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: It's what was it like when dinosaurs were still here?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: It was wild man, you had to dodge him, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you had the scariest thing in the footprints, you know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: whenever they those were larger than everyone thought. But more
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: than anything else, it's like, I'm I'm just kind of
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: grateful that sports gets the platform that it gets right now, Guys,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I predate sports radio. Okay, I mean I remember being
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a kid and they had on Camo X and sat
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: kids sit around, let's let's let's get around the campfire.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you about the good old days. We
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: had a show on km OS and it was called
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Sports Open Line and it was the only sports show
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: we had, and it was like three hours on a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night, and if Joel Bushbomb was on, man I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: was calling to get my NFL Draft questions in. So
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: there's this part of me maybe because I've lived in
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a world where I was having to watch a ticker
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to see what a score was, or as a kid,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: get the newspaper to find out what the score was
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: of the Doyer's game the night before. So I you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I maybe I'm a little bit old school, a little
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: bit a lot of bit old school on that front.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: But ESPN seems to do everything it can to not
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: cover sports, and that just blows my mind, like I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to point fingers and dog on anyone's segment.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: But as this show has kicked off tonight, I've got
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Sports Center on and I saw the dumbest segment I've
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: ever seen in the history of TV where they try
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to make it seem like the two hosts are I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: don't know, having a nightcap drink or something, and they're
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: sitting on a couch and the female host his legs crossed,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you know, sitting on there like my daughter does, and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: she's got an alleged mixed drink, and the male host
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: is all like the male host is all like laid
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: out on the couch like he's just coming back from
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: working a you know, an eighteen hour day where he
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: had to like grind, he's got to tie a little
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: bit messed up, and it's like, what are your favorite
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: part of the year. It's like, just it's show me highlights.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I don't need your stupid analysis on this, your Sports Center.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: What's the score of the game? Anyway. I understand nature boy,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: where you might be a little bit frustrated by that,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: but to take it to the point where you're not
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: watching games because of it, I don't know if I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: can go that far. Jason B. Diamond is first in
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: on a memory of twenty twenty five. Here I see
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: my Dodgers go back to back with my favorite sports
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: moment of twenty twenty five and listening to Lorraine, how
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: about that of Salarainis needs more airtime during the top
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of the hour break and then two more here real
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: quick that I wanted to get to Mike in the mountains. Man.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I love, are loved college football, but it is so
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: broke at this moment. Let me give you an example.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: There's an Oklahoma State offensive lineman who's in the portal.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: One of his four visits is Oklahoma State. Dude. I
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: will say this with peace and love to any of
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: our friends that are listening in still Water or where
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the Orange and Black. You have yourself A good coach,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Eric Morris is a hell of a hire, and I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna do a great job. But whenever I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: saw this week that an Oklahoma State offensive lineman one
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: of the top offensive tackles in the portal, which by
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the way, the portal doesn't even open until January second,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and there's already like three thousand players who have committed
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a getting in the portal. It's like free agency. It's
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: like tampering. What are we doing there's the portal isn't
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: even open. It's like, oh, I've been the portal. It's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: like you can't get in there until January second. Everybody
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: calm yourself down a little bit. But the story that
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Mike and the Mountains is talking about an Oklahoma State
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman did the whole I'm in the portal and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: had the I guess you could say image that had
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: his picture and had his four schools that he's going
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to be visiting four and one of those was Oklahoma State,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the team that he just played for. Make that make sense,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and I think everyone kind of had to do a
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: double take his name. By the way, the Oklahoma State
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman who's in the portal that is visiting Oklahoma
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: State is Grant Segrein, probably going to be an NFL
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman. He'll be taking a trip to Auburn, a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: trip to Northwestern hasn't announced the date of his trip
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to art Saw but then we'll also be taking a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: trip to the place that he played. So, yes, we
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: are a very dumb sport. The only thing maybe more
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: broken right now than college football is college basketball? Lefty
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: folk Shizzle playing three days in a row. I guess
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Arnie didn't want to work tonight. Well, here's the funny
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: thing about the old stinking genius. Love him. The only
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: man that wants to tell you about all of his
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: picks that he's made, and wants to brag about all
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of his picks, but yet never gambles like that, and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: yet tries to say that he gambles. But you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: if he actually got betting slips that proved he was right,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you would have them crammed down your face incessantly. Now
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: there's a part of me that thinks Arnie doesn't know
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: how to post things on Twitter every now and then.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, the man still uses a notebook to write
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: down all of his topics and then screenshots said notebook
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: with his terrible handwriting, and that's supposed to be how
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you're following the show.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: But I.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'm of the understanding that he's the boss and he
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: runs this whole network and he doesn't work two nights
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: in a row. So there's that. And then spock'sweed is
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: so high already. He tagged Brian Finley on this tweet.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: He said, I was gonna listen to Chris Plank, but
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: then I got high. When was the last time Brian worked?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Brian, But I mean, Spock, you gotta
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: be pretty high to be tagging Brian Finley on tweets.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Man Sacre sit tonight on those updates, keep them coming
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: at Plank Show. Of course, Lorraina is at FSR Tech Queen,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and Coop is at you, h Bronco fan. With that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: in mind, it's been mallad show. I'm Chris Plank sitting
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: in Coop. You asked me a question during our number
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: one that I said, I want to get into here
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to kick off our number two because I find it fascinating.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: First of all, congratulations to your Denver Broncos. Quite a run.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: This might sound crazy coming from a Raiders fan, but
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're getting the respect that you deserve.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I agree. Don't not just Coop personally and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the job that Justin Cooper does on this show, but
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the Broncos. The Broncos hate on them, if you must,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: but the style they play is the kind of style
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: that you look up and you're like, damn, they're going
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. It's very Seattle Seahawks esque during
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: its run whenever Pete Carroll knew how to coach. But
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: you had quite the dilemma pop up this week, didn't you.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And you took advantage of it. So I'm proud of you.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: But you go to the game when they play in
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. Me, that's the plan, that's the plan. I
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: discussed this a little bit on the show last night.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Oh so this is a repeat. Now, when did you
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: do it? Before I get yelled at for repeating the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: same segments I was. I was debating doing it during
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: during the show last night. Oh okay, yeah that was
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I was torn.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: And then about five and a half hours after the
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: show ended is when I pulled the trigger and.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Sorry, no, I get this segment. Buddy, you tell everybody
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: about the great props you have next time you're filling in.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: All right, So Coop you're going though, You're going to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: My wife and I are going to Denver.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: That's the plan.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Anyway. I mean, I don't want to like, I don't
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: want to.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Keep you keep kind of curbing this a little bit.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: What's your worry about this?
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to jinx anything if the I
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: mean if I know it's Trey Lance, but you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: any any given Sunday, right, So if the Broncos lose.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see what you're saying. If they don't get
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the one seed and there is a chance they could
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: lose before that divisional round game, yes, correct, and.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Then it's just an overpriced game that he bought tickets for.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I get a refund if that happens. But I mean,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: you know, part of the the part of the thing
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: is too is I wanted to go to the first
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: home playoff game in the last ten years in Denver,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: like then you know, so if it's if they end
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: up falling to the wild card, then I have to think,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: do I go bull, do I go to Denver BacT
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: to back weekends, or do I just sit there and
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: you know, risk them not making it and me not
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: going at all? You know, there's there's potential other dilemmas
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: to arise. Got to take care of business against Trey Lance.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: But with that said, there's two interesting dilemmas that I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: found here. Now, this is gonna be a take that
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: comes from a position of privilege. I'm just gonna be
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: very clock not for you, coop for me. I cover
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of games, right, so if I'm not covering
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: a game, there is no way my wife is just
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: gonna let me drop a couple grand on tickets to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: a game. It's just not gonna happen because basically, if
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I leave the house, I have to get paid for it,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: which is why I don't get to leave the house.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: We just went on a trip back home to see
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: my family, so literally that means I've got six months
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: of not getting to do anything because we took that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: trip back home to see my family. Yeah, it's my life.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Welcome to with that in mine, with that in mind.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Number one, the wife's on board, right, she's down with it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: She wants to go to Denver and see the Broncos
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: with you in the playoffs. But your seats aren't next
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to each other.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, that is correct. We have seats one and
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: eleven in the row.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't know it was that far apart. I like
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: one in seven, one and six, okay, what's one in eleven? Yeah?
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Nine, there are nine seats between us, and so I
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: just have to convince nine people, ask them nicely to
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: scoot over one so that my wife and I can
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: sit together. And you know hope that it's not any
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: fans of the opposing team right in that nine people,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: But this is how I thought of it. Go ahead,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: there's nine there's nine seats between us, but it's chances
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: are I can almost guarantee you they aren't nine individuals.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: So you're talking at minimum two people together, maybe more.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: So.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: It's not like I'm gonna have to ask nine times, right,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, so I'm only gonna have to get I'm
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: only gonna have to get like four or less groups
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to say yes and agree to move over one seat.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, every single time I think about having to fight
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: about seats for some reason, because my mind is still
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: in the holiday season. I watched Home Alone because I
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: have an eleven year old and it's her favorite Christmas movie.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I've watched it like twelve times, and whenever she's trying
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: to negotiate getting the flight, she goes, you can have
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: this watch. It's a nice watch. Are you willing to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: go that deep in negotiations? If it's buying beers, which
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I guess would be the sports equivalent of a watch
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to get a plane ticket? Right? How deep are you
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: willing to go in these negotiations to get closer to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: your wives.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I think I'm willing to buy beers absolutely, because okay,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: if if you look at it, look at it this way.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: The seats that I got, the section that they're in,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: like in the one hundred section right like it's towards
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: it's at the top of the one hundred section. These
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: were the face value tickets straight from ticket Master, you know,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the official price, and you know it was eight hundred
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: per ticket.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: That's all that was a leave coople loone. He's telling
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a story right now, right, go ahead.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: All that was available in the stadium were individual tickets.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Any pairs had been snapped up and were only on
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: you know, verified like resale or third party websites and
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: third party websites or resale tickets in that same area
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: that I bought those two tickets for are going for
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: like fifteen hundred, oh my per ticket. And so I'm like, okay,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: by doing these seats that are nine seats apart, I'm
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: saving like a you know, theoretically a thousand dollars, you know,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: almost one thousand dollars per ticket. Nice, so I can
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: afford you know, a handful of twenty dollars beers or whatever.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: They are.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: There's so many questions that I have, And then I
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: kind of think of it from a radio perspective, like
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: what's what's the cap? Like if you would have got
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: online and you're getting ready to buy these tickets and
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: you go to that checkout window and you see the price,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: was there a number where you're like, we can't do
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: that because I gotta be honest, dude, that's just and
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you got travel that's going to go into this too.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: So we're talking about a rather lucrative weekend and I'm
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: not you know, maybe you drive, maybe you fly, whatever
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it might be, but I mean that's was there a
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: number that you were like, Okay, we're not going to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: be able to do this if so, if the price
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: was too high.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: So I booked all of the accommodations well over a
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: month ago, maybe.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Very smart.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I bought hotel refundable hotel and your credit refundable flights.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: They don't just give you the money that you give
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: you the flight credit. But I bought that for both weekends,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: like well over a month ago, and with the idea
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: that if they get the one seed, I'll cancel the
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: earlier one. If they don't, then I'll cancel the later one.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: So that's all set up as far as the price
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: that was gonna like tell me, no, I'm not going.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going to the game. I'm going to
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: the game. So it's whether I want to spring for
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: like good seats or if I'm just paying whatever the
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: you know minimum is that I have to get in
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: and sitting in the highest seats in the place.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Is happening.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I'm happy for you, number one. Thank you. Is this
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the most that you've spent on a sporting event? Yes? Yeah,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: by a margin. I would say, did you did he
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: mention the number? Do you want to mention the number?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: You want to keep it low key, you don't have
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: to mention the number? Well, the one, the one that
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I just spent on this Yeah, oh yeah, I mentioned
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: it already. Yeah.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I said they're like eight hundred each, eight hundred each.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: My previous highest was five hundred dollars on an NBA
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Finals game. That would see that seems like a deal now, yeah, yeah,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: but I mean that was back in twenty oh nine.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, so a lot of different things here, nature boy,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: real quick before we get to the phones on this one.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: At eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven, nine, nine,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: sixty six, three sixty nine. Nature Boy Eddie writes Coop
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: should use the do you know who I Am? Approached
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: to get better seats? Now, have you thought about that,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: like you're trying to get closer to your wife and
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: trying to get where you guys can sit next to
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: each other. Have you thought of the well in case
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you don't know, I'm I'm Coop from the Ben Malors Show.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Do you think that would help it all in this instance?
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Or no?
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Unless unless you wind up next to like a member
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: of the Malord militia or something.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean then then a liar liar card,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Oh you know I am?
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Do you know who I am?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not doing that.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: All right, do it?
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: I think it's a great idea.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Lorraina thoughts. You think he's going to be able to
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: get next to her? You think people are going to
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: be jerks on that row and not let him get
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: closer to each other.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: I am in pretty good spirits that people are going
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: to be in a great mood full of beer and
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: they're just going to be like, you know what, Heck, yeah,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: I can move down a seat I'd love it if
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: you could sit by your wife and I told them,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: if they don't then be super obnoxious between each other, like.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Pass me the hut right exactly exactly.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: And throwing stuff at each other.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: You can be an overly nerdish, problematic person if no
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: one trades with you. Yeah, right, you can make that.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: You can make that person's life. Hell, I will say.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I mean I realized that if I were to try
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to go and I'm not like dogging on my family
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: or my wife, but if I were to try to
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: go to my wife and say, hey, for eight hundred bucks,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I can go to a Raiders game, I would be
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: laughed out of the building. I mean it would be like,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: for eight hundred bucks, you compare us, he wouldn't be.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I don't even let you finish your sentence.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: It's like, what, alright, we gotta break. It's the beIN
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Malor Show on Fox Sports Radio. I'm Chris Planks sitting

• 21:17
  Speaker 1: what has been the suggestion so far from the Malor militia,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Any any good advice that you can take advantage of,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: or mostly just crazy people that are getting through the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: night I'm taking as a ladder, I will say I've
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: never had any success at a sporting event or a
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: concert in trying to get somebody to either move a seat,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: especially now. Listen, I go to a lot of games
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: where there's not people like every seat taken, so you
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: don't have to worry about being forced gump walking down
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the bus. Seats taken, you don't have to worry about that.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: But I whenever I've been at cardinal games and things
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: of that and nature, I've never had any luck whatsoever
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: with people moving around, so you might want to pl
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the card. Do you know who I am? In my work?
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: A couple of notes that we've been monitoring tonight here
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Number one, you add three bowl
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: games today, two of them are really good. You had
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: walk off wins for the University of Illinois beating Tennessee
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: and TCU upsets USC. There is a lot of buzz
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: about USC and the Notre Dame fight. You have I think,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: like two distinct groups here. You have the group that
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: wants to point the finger at Lincoln Riley, who basically
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: when he first took this job, wanted to talk about,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: you know, the greatness of USC and how everything is
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: in place to win now. But now you know, going
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: on his fifth year heading in the next year and
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: one a damn thing, including a Bowl game tonight. But
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: you have people in this USC Notre Dame fight that
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: are carrying the water for USC and are like, yeah,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: they should have to worry about playing Notre Dame. They
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: offer them to play what allegedly week zero and mech
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Ago and well Notre Name they did not are They're
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: saying they'll play us anytime, anywhere, which is I don't know, man,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: it seems kind of short sighted on the side of USC.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: But I also get it to where if i'm USC,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, you guys aren't in a conference. You're
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: sitting here beating your chest telling everyone about how you're
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: going to be in the playoffs next year if you're
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: in the top twelve, regardless of what the playoff rankings say,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: so bleep you. It'll be fascinating to see how that
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: plays out for US college football diehards. Meanwhile, the Dallas
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Cowboys to night have released Stefan Diggs. Oh I'm Sorry'm
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: getting my digs confused here. Trayvon Diggs, the corner who
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: had just signed a massive deal two years ago, five year,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: ninety seven million dollar contract. He has battled injuries, so
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: he's done in Dallas and we'll await what the Patriots
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: decide to do involving one Stefan Diggs, who has charges
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: pending against him. So obviously a lot on the NFL
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: battery side of things that we're keeping an eye on
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the police blotterer side of things. All right, at the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: bottom of every hour, I've promised a quick preview of
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the college football playoff games. If you missed last hour.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: We went in depth on what to expect intonight's game.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: That's Ohio State and Miami and the Cotton Bowl should
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: be a fun. One number hasn't moved. It's nine and
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: a half. Meanwhile, the other big game, I'm real excited
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: about Texas Tech and Oregon Number one. I haven't seen
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of Texas Tech this year. I live in
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and lived past tense in Big twelve country right now.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Big twelve not near the top of that depth chart
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: for a lot of college football fans. But man, Joy
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: McGuire and Texas Tech have something special cooking and tomorrow night,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I guess we can say now since it's officially New
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Year's Eve, they've got to find a way to slow
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: down the unique and challenging running game of Oregon.
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: Here's Joey McGwire is they're very creative. You know, Will
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: Stein does a great job. I know Will very well,
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: excited for him getting a Kentucky job. And then one
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: of the old line coaches is Max little brother, you know,
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: and he's going with him in Kentucky, and I think
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: he has a lot to do with what they do
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: run game wise. But they're one of the teams that
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: we actually throughout the year in the offseason study because
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: they are so creative in the in the run game,
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: you know, the biggest thing whenever we've talked about it
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: and will continue to talk about it throughout the game.
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: But what we have to do on defense is we
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: have to set edges. We have to do a good
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: job of taking on half a man and and try
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: to push the ball where we wanted to go versus
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: where they wanted to go.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: So I would say, of the four games that we
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: have coming up, Oregon Texas Tech might be the least
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: anticipated game of all of them, right, I mean, I
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: do think Ohio State and Miami. I mean, we can
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: we can debate and discuss that that that might be
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: number one. Maybe Alabama Indiana to miss Georgia at three
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: just because it's a rematch. But Oregon and Texas Tech
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: probably fourth in interest unless you're Jeff Schwartz and you're
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: an Oregon alum, or unless you're the great Cody Campbell
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and you're spending all this money to have Texas Tech
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: where they are right now. But it's also to me
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the most fascinating game because of the storylines involving what
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Oregon doesn't have. Both their offensive and defensive coordinators are
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: still coaching and are still preparing Oregon for the playoffs,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: but both have new jobs. Dan Lanning talked about that
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: process in getting ready for Tomorrow night with two coaches
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: that are probably mentally already moving on to their next job.
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: One thing I'll give great credit to coach Stein and
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: coach Lapoi. They've worked their tails off. You wouldn't know
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: a difference that they're taking other jobs. They're spend a
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: lot of time at night working on the job that
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: they're about to go into, but they's spent a lot
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: of time during the day on the job that they
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: have and the job that they feel responsible for Towards
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: our players. They've worked extremely hard, and the players around
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: him have prepared really, really hard, which has been awesome
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: to see.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what it would be like to
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: have the excitement of a team that you've Will Wilstein
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: is the guy that I've covered quite a bit. He's
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator at Oregon. You heard him mention he's
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: taken on the Kentucky head coaches job. I can't even
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: imagine what it's like to be getting ready for a
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: playoff game, your blood, your sweat, your tears, your fight,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you scratch your claw, and you finally get to the playoffs,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: You finally get to the cusp of potentially playing for
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: a national championship. And what happens, Well, you get another
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: job and you finally reach the pinnacle of being a
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: head coach. And for both of these coordinators in Power
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: four leagues, burning the candle of both in pretty much
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: what we're doing here on Fox Sports Radio. So there
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: is I think the least in depth of preview that
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: you're going to get on any of the games tonight.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Ryan Fowler is going to join us in the final hour.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Talk to him last night. Help give us a little
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: bit more of a preview now, question LORRAINA, I don't
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: know if Coop's back around. Is your care level minimal?
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Or where are you with the college football playoffs right now?
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Like if you were to say NBA versus college football playoffs?
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Like is a college football playoffs very low on the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: depth chart for you of care of the big events
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: this week?
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Well, to be honest with you, Chris, sports in general
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: is very low on my list of care don't But
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: when it comes to college you know, I do have
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: the two pro shows, so LeVar or Brady's teams are
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: in it. I feel like I'd be like, oh, let's
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: go right right right, like we're out this season, you know, but.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: You know, NBA still going strong.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: We got some good stuff going on. Okay, all right,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: it's kind of exciting.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Coop.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Where do you stand on the college football playoffs? Am
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I just treading water and doing these updates tonight? Or
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: you getting something from him? Do you care at all?
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: No?
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Either way? You're a UCLA guy? What you a c guy? Yeah?
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: I was a USC fan growing up. But do I
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: care about it?
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: Not?
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Necessarily. I keep an eye on it. I don't really.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not watching the games, but you know, I'm always
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: kind of just kind of keeping an eye on what's
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: going on in sports, and so when it comes to playoffs,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I'll check, you know, the apps and see what the
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: scores are. When I know the game's on and if
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: it's you know, fourth quarter, three minutes left and it's
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: a close game, that'll that'll turn it on just to
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: see if I'm gonna, you know, see anything awesome.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Now I'm trying tonight, I'm trying to generate that excitement
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: for the college football playoffs, it seems like it's falling
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: on deaf ears here with the Mallard Militia, Coop and
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Loraina Tonight.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: I really dedicate all of Sunday to football, So you know,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: there's got to be there's got to be a balance
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: a weekend day that my wife doesn't have to deal
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: with football all day long.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: It's kind of funny because I have to do the
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: exact opposite, working in a in a college market and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: being a part of a college football broadcast. Because if
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: you guy, if I counted the over under on the
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: number of times that I'm like, hey, You're gonna be
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: on your phone all day and the response of yes
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I am, it's pretty special.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I've become very creative in the ways that I can
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: still find because I got a show on Sunday Night
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio. So I got to be informed, right,
• 30:16

• 31:38
  Speaker 3: or twice a week. I know, you know, I'm later
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: too much, but I listened to I listened to Coop
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: and Ben and Lorena like four nights a week. But anyway,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: the ticket price thing nineteen ninety I believe it was
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: June of ninety six, because I think it was the
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: ninety five Stanley Cup. Was the Colorado Avalanche and the
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: Corda Panthers, and I was I was living in Colorado.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: I paid thirty five dollars for almost on the ice
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: seats and at the time, that was a lot of money. Jesus,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: thirty five bucks and Coops talking about paying eight hundred
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: for a game. Holy cow.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And here was the thing. Where did you get
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: those tickets? How did you go about getting those tickets?
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: You go to the box office to buy them? Do
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: you have to go to it to like a we
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: used to go. I grew up in Saint Louis. It's
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: gonna sound so so old. We used to have to
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: go to like the box office.
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: Was that a J. C.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Penny or a famous ball? Yeah?
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm old enough to to, okay. I used to
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: have to buy concert tickets at Warehouse music.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, records. No, No, I had to I had to
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: go to some store hu and like walk in the
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: back and then and I think it ended up being ticketmaster.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, it was a ticket master.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: The box office because I didn't want to wait to
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: the box office and not get a seat. It's the
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: old I think it was called the mc nichols Arena.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Patrick waw Actually actually after the game, uh, Patrick Wall
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: bought me a beer.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Patrick, after the ninety six Stanley Cup game, brought you
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: a beer?
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, me and my friend we we we just randomly
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: walked into him and he said, he's kind of like
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: he's French Canadian he you know, kind of thing. And
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: then we went to a bar with him and he
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: paid for our drinks. Huh.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Damn that that French Canadian actual impersonation was spot on.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: That was that was nails. All right, man, I'll talk
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: to you against So thanks for the kind words. Yeah,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: here's here's my biggest complaint. All right, this is my
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: this is my If I were president of sports, this
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: would be something that I would say. He talked about
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: thirty five dollars that you paid for tickets to get
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: into a Stanley Cup playoff game where and I mean
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: never and I do mean ever going to be in
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: a situation where I think that's going to become a
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: reality again. But I would say there was always a
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: cheaper option. Like whenever I was a kid back in
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the nineteen hundreds, you could get like bleacher seats or
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: you know, upper deck seats, and they weren't eight hundred bucks.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Those don't even exist anymore. You can pay like twenty bucks.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: We get in line and say at the old Bush
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Stadium and you could get bleacher seats for like sixteen bucks.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: It was great. We got to get back to that.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just taking a family of four to
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: a sporting event is like a non start. And I
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: know guys like Mike Harmon would fight with you and say, well,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: you don't have to do all this and get all
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the accouterment, and you're right, but it's still expensive as
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: hell to get those tickets. You know, it's still you know,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: you don't have to buy the nachos or drink the beer.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Is in a game, you can still enjoy it. But
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: then also part of being at a game is doing that.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Like I don't want to take my kids to a
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: game and say no, you can't have nachos. No, you can't.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I want you to be No, you can't have a beer.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I want them to be able to enjoy it. So
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: it's just it's tough, man. It's I'm so happy for you,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Coop that you get to go to this game, but
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: it's still one of those who you're like, Damn, that's
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: a lot to spin to go to a football game whenever.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I'm not gonna be that guy. Well,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: you just don't know right now, right, I mean, there
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: is that there's always that lingering chance that that might
• 35:43

  Speaker 9: Duke talked about jinxing earlier, and I did more jigs.
• 37:51
  Speaker 9: The Denver football team didn't guarantee on the air the
• 37:55

• 38:05
  Speaker 9: about a senior Angels. That's funny. I was not letting,
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: but he said, what what's that about? It's a cousin

  Speaker 9: of like understell over delivered. I've done a lot of

• 38:36
  Speaker 9: playboy play commentary for Oklahoma one day because we were

  Speaker 9: You should have seen the face of incredulousness, increasi incredulous
• 38:47
  Speaker 9: and increduous incredulity talking about not believe that.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Thanks j writing what he's at. I hear the whole call. Yeah,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: you don't understand him. Hold on, I'm I'm working on it. Right,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: You have certain because you talk to Jed a lot.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Jed didn't call me on Friday nights, so I didn't
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: get a lot of the jet who fled, So it
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: takes me second. There was somewhere in the middle where
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: he said you guaranteed you were gonna get through those
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: nine seats, right, He did say that that's not true,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: though I did not care he didn't guarantee it, and
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: then he talked about hearing me on a radio broadcast
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: and that someday I want to be on the Sooner
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: radio broadcast that is my nine to five. So yeah,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I like Jedi Fled. I think my favorite part of
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: the Jed Who Fled calls is like the debrief afterwards.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: It's like, what do you say, Robin? You know, I
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: feel like Howard Stern when Eric the actor would call I.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Have no idea, but Ben still can't understand him. Really yeah,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: well he's been calling Ben for like a decade, he has,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: but I have a good Jet ear. Okay, I will
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: say I like the idea of thinking that Stefan Diggs
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: got his crime in under the Wire, I lunch crime
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: in under the Wire, and that he's able to.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: What to sleep clean in twenty twenty four. He's like,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: hey man, hey passed go. He collected two out of box,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: so he gets to wipe this thing from his record
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: going forward.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's how that works. I don't think
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: that's how this works. You said, Loraina New Beginnings.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, that doesn't mean.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: I have a eleven year old and everything is literal.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Jet who Fled. Lorraina was not literally saying you get
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: a whole new start from all your crimes. It's Fox
• 40:30
