• 1:32
  Speaker 1: this hour from deep in the heart of Texas in Dallas,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the follow up to the follow up, follow up to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the follow up. As we settle into the night here
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Jerry's world. So some news out there's always news because
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Jerry does a lot of radio. He's old school that way,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: right to do some podcasts with the guys, tickles toes.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: He goes on the radio. Of course, if they say
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: anything bad about him, they'll get in trouble. But anyway,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, making a weekly radio appearance, said of the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: now infamous report from Jay Glazer over the weekend that
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, the reigning champions of the NFL, had made
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: an offer that was supposedly bigger than the Green Bay
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Packers offer for Micah Parsons. So Jerry Jones said that
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: regarding that story, the Cowboys never issued a counter offer
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia football team and the Micah Parsons trade sweepstakes.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: He described the trade process as strategic. Of course, he did,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: what was he gonna say? Well, we really got played
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: on that one. I mean, come on, we got our
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: pants to pull down. He said, there was no counter offer.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones said the thought all along was to see
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: where the interest level was. Jones opened He said it
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: was very important. And from the get go, he says,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the effort on our part, Jerry said, was to chum
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: up interest.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Jump jump jump jump jump jump. Yeah.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, Now, once that interest really started peaking, Jerry said,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: then you started having the phone ring. And that's exactly
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: what the plan was to see if that phone would
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: ring in the proposition, be there enough for us to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: make the move. All right, so let us discuss. That's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the end of that quote. So question, what is your
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: reaction on what is your reaction to Jerry Jones and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: his explanation on the Micah Parsons trade talks involving Philadelphia.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: There was no counter offer made to the Eagles. So
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I've gotten musket, lollipops and Neil Armstrong, three things that
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: have never been used in these same sentence, but now
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: we will be used in the same mall monologue. So
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and we'll put all these together. We're going to deep
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: prive some oreos like the state fair there, the County Fair.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Will deep prive those orias.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So a Jerry Jones pretending I love this, this was
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the masterplane, when we know, based on his own words,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: it's taking for what they're worth that Jerry Jones made
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: an offer in was it March somewhere around in March
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: April May in that area and offered Micah Parsons, he said,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the biggest contract for a non quarterback and then of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a history. Now what does that tell us? That tells
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: us that if Parsons had agreed to the deal and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: not said, oh I love my sleeves ball agent and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I want my agent to be if Mike get agreed
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to that, then therefore he would still be with the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. And it also tells you what it's a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: tell that the Cowboys wanted no part of Micah Parsons
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: in Kelly Green. They wanted no part of him in
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a Philadelphia Eagles uniform. And so Jerry's bluffing's it's kind
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of like that show, which I guess is still on.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's on Pond Stars where you back in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the day I used to watch it. You'd walk into
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Rick Harrison's pawn shop there in Vegas's the Las Vegas shop,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: not in North Las Vegas, because there's a big difference,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: as we know from our our friend that calls. But
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you're going to the Rick Harrison shop there and you
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: found your grandma's musket from the Civil War. So you've
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: got your grandma's musket from the Civil War.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: And then Rick.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Of course, because every show is the same, they're all
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: cookie cutter. So I'm really not sure how much is
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it worth. Let me call in an expert on this.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I have a friend, you know, I have a friend
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: that works down at the museum somewhere, and I want
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to bring him in. So then they bring the person in.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: It'sro an, old guy with a beard, and he comes
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: in there and he looks at the musket there, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: so he says, I'll offer you one hundred and fifty
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: dollars for that Civil War musket. And and of course
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: that means that he never wanted, never wanted the damn
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: thing anyway, right, he's if your one hundred and fifty bucks,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to use that as some kind of
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: leverage and all that. And that's Jerry Jones, right, that's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones here. And you know what, he played it safe,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: not the it's not the worst move in the world.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You send Parsons to Green, but because you're you're limiting
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the blowback. You're limiting the blowback, is what you're doing. Right,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the same conference. Yes, it's a national football conference, so
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it's not in the division. So it's not a big market.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: It's the smallest market you can get green Bay. See,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you don't have to watch him twice a year. You'll
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: have to play him every once in a while, like,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: for example, in a few weeks when the Packers and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Cowboys play and they get together in Texas. But you
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: don't have to watch him sack your quarterback six seven,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: eight times a year and treat your quarterback like a
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: tackling dummy. You don't have to do that, and he'll
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: still haunt you. I'm Michael Barson's gonna still haunt you,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: but at least he's haunting you somewhat quietly in northern Wisconsin,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: where your celebrity gets muted. Well, Ben, the Packers have
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a national fund, that is true, The Packers have a
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: national following. However, it's just not the same, right, it's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: not the same. You get buried under ten layers, not
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: of snow, of cheese curds. And they're they are really good, man,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I mean the Green Bay Gobblers living the life. My
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: brother lives up that way, living the life there with
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: all the delicious cheese.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Oh it's so good.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And so Jerry's out there and he's like trying to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: sell pontoon boats out in Galveston. He's like, oh, I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: get these boats are great, man, It's the deal of
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a lifetime. You got to get one of these boats.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: They're so good. It's going to complete your life. You
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: need this at this stage of your life. You need
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a pontoon boat. You have to get it right. And
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: so you say, okay, I'll get it and all that,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I get it, and then it's just it's really he
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: just unloading a lemon, like you won't get a lemon.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Well, you got a lemon.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You know, things leaking, you know, it's a disaster and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it's all rusted and all that stuff. So it's classic
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Jerry like that. Jerry, listen, I love it. I'm a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: talk show host. Guilty as charged. Jerry's wonderful. You know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: it's spin, spin, Spin. It's like it's always honikah for
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Jerry's always spinning the dradle. He is, I Jerry Jones
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: trying to sell you on the idea that that he
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: wanted Parsons in Green Bay and he really just wanted
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to avoid going to the usual suspects in the division,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and it's like, but he wants to be It's all
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: part of the plan. So how do you like them? Apples?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Now to Chicago, the fallout continues there as well. From
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the Monday night coughing up of the fur ball by
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. Wow, pu whatsting? So the Viking stormback
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to knock out the Bears in a dramatic fourth quarter
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: comeback for the Ages, Chicago gagging away an eleven point
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: lead in the second half, and Caleb Williams some comments
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: he made after that game still have legs now still
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: bouncing around the echo chamber, people commenting about the situation
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: with one one. So cayleb was a very positive outlook.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: He expressed his that he and Ben Johnson worked well together,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: which we saw the quotes and I kind of rolled
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: my eyes at this. I said, you know, I think
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: if you did, it's like fass At doing Dodger talk, right,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you know, and they know they're praising the Dodger bullpen
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: when they go out there and write the vomit comet
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: every Dodger game.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: It's like that, you know. It's like, well, it was
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: really positive, you know.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: He didn't kill anyone with He didn't hit any batters
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: in the head with the pitch, and you're like, okay,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: so very positive, express the belief that Ben Johnson worked
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: well with him and all that he said, I quote,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I think there was a lot of good there our communication.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: He was getting the plays in fast. Caleb Williams smirked.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: All right, So question, how do you categorize the upbeat
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: comments from Caleb Williams after the Chicago Bears played like
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: choking dogs, not Bears choking dogs. So Caleb Williams working
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: as a brand ambassard, it's no more nil in the NFL.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: He had that at USC.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Well, he made a killing at sc Holy crap for
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: a guy. That's the greatest memory Caleb Williams had at
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: USC is crying on his mommy's shoulder. And he lived
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: in a condo in downtown LA with a skyline view
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and had everything taken care of. And that was his
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: contribution to USC football.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: So he's in the NFL now, he's now the brand
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: ambassador for Lollipops dot com. Congratulations sugarcoating a lot of
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: sugar coating there and celebrating the communication with his Coade
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: in that terrific.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: My guys in Chicago tree in Chicago, and you fee
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: me and all you guys.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: It's wonderful, right, Yeah, I'm sure you're very happy to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: have good communication. Solid. Yeah, that's that. And like five
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Bucks will get you a cup of coffee. If go
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to have Starbucks, you get a cup of coffee like
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: five Bucks. But based on what we saw, Caleb Williams
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: was fine when the training wheels were on, which seems
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: to me And what do I know, I just in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the overnight show. That seems problematic if you're the Chicago
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Bears and the game was scripted. The beginning of the game,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: he came out ten for ten, had a amazing quarterback
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: rating eighty six yards passing.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Was wonderful.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: That scripted, Caleb Williams, Okay, so let's move ahead now
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: on the broadcast. So that was the rehearsed version. That's
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a Broadway show. You've memorized your lines. You've done it
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: for two years. You know every line and you know
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: every movement. It's muscle memory, all right. So that's fine.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: So then shocker the rest of each For some reason,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: they had to play the rest of the game. Holy crap.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: They had to play the rest of the game, and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: how did that go? Well, they ran out of script
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and then it became open Mike Knight at the second
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: city and well after that, twenty five pass attempts, eleven completions.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I'm told that's not good.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I'm told that's not good, and just one hundred and
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: twenty four yards, averaged like five little less than five
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: yards per pass attempt, and had a touchdown passer rating
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: in the seventies.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: So he started ten of.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Ten from the early part of the second quarter, he
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: completed his tenth pass until the end of the game,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: So the second half and most of the second quarter,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a passer rating in the seventies. That is flop sweat
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: city is what that is. You're the mayor of.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Flop sweat City. Congratulations, you drowned on the stage. You did.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And this is the NFL. You don't get to play
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: with flash cards more than just a brief period of.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Each game first quarter.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: After the first quarter, you generally do not get to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: play with the flash cards.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Does not happen.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: So once the Vikings and Brian Flores, who's still suing
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the NFL, once they made the adjustments Caleb Williams. He
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: looked like the guy who lost his lines and then
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: just started mumbling mumbo bumble bumble. Yeah, just like that,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and there's there's the next part of it. Just drove
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: drove me utes. And again, I don't have his skin
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: in the game. It's not my team, Okay, not my team.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: But I go into this looking like if it was
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: my team, what will my position be? So I'm approaching
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: this as if I were a card carrying member like
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Lucky Tony of the Chicago Bears fan So and this
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: gout upset Lucky Tony and Tree and all you Chicago
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: apologists out there, because Williams he stated that this is.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: A growing process, is what he said. And that just.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Drove me because that is the exact same line of
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: communication to use, Kayler Williamstern that we have gotten doing
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: this talk show talking about the Chicago Bears for many,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: many years behind the powerful microphones of Fox Sports Radio.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: That's the kind of thing that should scare the crap
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: out of Chicago Bears fans because it's always always a
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: growing process. I remember that this guy named Mitch Trubisky
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: who would go out there he needed a diaper, Trubisky, okay,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and he was actually good compared to these other stiffs
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: that followed. They said, well, it takes time. It's a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: growing process. We're still waiting on Mitch Trubisky. How many
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: teams has he played for? How many teams does he player?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Then you got justin fields, same thing, growing process. Now
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: we have we have the trifecta. Caleb Williams. It's a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: growing it's a growing process. Caleb Williams said, Okay, So
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: generally speaking, I don't care about the play clock. I know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: oh you're a bad talk show host. I don't care
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: about the playclock clock. I don't and I do not
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: care about, you know, getting the calls in quickly and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: all that stuff.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: You blew an.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Eleven point lead at home to a guy that was
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: also having the cold sweats there, JJ McCarthy, who looked
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: dreadful until the fourth quarter. So that's a bad job
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: by all involved here. And so Caleb Williams still watering
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the plant in that grade. We'll check back in your
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: seven or eight see how he's doing all right now.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Last word to La we Go, where Jim Harball has
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: dazzled us yet again. The Chargers head football coach there
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh commenting at his weekly news conference about quarterback
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and the toughness that he showed against Cannsa
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: City in Brazil, and Jim Harbaugh said, quote, he said
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: a hit that Herbert to you might remember you saw
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the game was on the YouTube. He said, the kind
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: of hit that would have killed a lesser man. That's
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Jim Harball commenting on a hit that was received by
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: his quarterback Justin Herbert. He said, again, quote the kind
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: of hit that would have killed a lesser man. Close
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: quote all right, so how does that quote hit you?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: So we know going into this that Harball Jim Harbaugh,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: not John Jim Harbaugh, a walking SoundBite machine, just always
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: a step.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Away from going viral and all that.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: But that's even by that standard, the line that that
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: hit would have killed a lesser man. So I guess
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Herbert's now resputant, right. The Russian guy, the healer there
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: from Russia. And it's a classic hardball though. You would
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: have reminded me of years ago there was this guy
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: named Chuck Pagotto who's a terrible head coach, but a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: great SoundBite. And Pagatto was coaching the Indianapolis Colts and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: they had a quarterback named Matt Hasselbeck. And Matt Hassebec
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: was an older quarterback at the time, not very good,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and he went out there and played well enough for
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the Colts to win the game. And we used to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: play this. You know, we've been through a million board ops,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: so nobody knows the old drops.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: But he had this line.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: It was on like a Thursday night game and I
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: came in after the game and he said that Matt
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Hasselbeck was literally on his deathbed. In the postgame, we were like,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: oh man, it's pretty good. You got up there were
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you had a priest in there to give you a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: last rights, and then right away boom, you got right
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: up and led them to win. So Harball he must
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: have remembered that filed that quote away back in the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: day and thought, well, hold my Khakis, here I go.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: And he cannot resist the mellow, dramatic tongue bath for
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: his quarterback. He can't do it right, and he can't
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: resist it. Now, may we all have someone in our lives,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: someone that is in love with you the way that
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh is in love with Justin Herbert.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: I mean the kneeling. He's always got Justin Herbert kneepads on.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: It's just wild, like every news conference is a very
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: similar there, waxing poetic about Herbert, like he's a war hero.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: He's the same guy that would tell you Jim Harball
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: that Justin Herbert would have been able to land the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Apollo eleven if Neil Armstrong had twisted his ankle that
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Herbert was even though he wasn't alive, then he would
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: have he would have come to the world a little earlier,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and he would have replaced the Neil Armstrong's It's like
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the Office Chargers edition when when Harbaugh's when he's doing
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: this thing right, Harbaugh's basically Dwight from the office and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: he's he's standing over Justin Herbert after he got hit, screaming,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: we need we need a medic, stat we need a medic.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: He might be concussed, he might be concussed. And then
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: of course Herbert pops right back up and he brushes
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: himself off, and and there's a there's Jim Harbaugh playing
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the Dwight character saying.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: You know what, I'm gonna write you up.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: You deserve a purple heart, You deserve a because you
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: got hit in a football game and that's it. And
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: so there you must be nominated for a purple heart.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And Herbert listen, he takes a second and he got
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh out there. It's like some kind of make
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: a wish type situation. It's it's just great. He's America survived.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: He survived. It's a miracle. I get it. You want
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: to pump up your guy. I understand.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: However, when all you do is give the guy the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: tongue bath, it it just we don't take anything to
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: say like it's legit.

  Speaker 1: Is not not that at all, And this portion of
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the Ben Malors Show made possible in part my our
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: friends at ti Iraq.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: That's right.

• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Com the Way Tire Buying Show be. So we're back
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: at it this hour. Coming up later in the hour
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: we will have the instant tribute also Mallor to the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: third degree.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: We'll get to that coming up here in a little bit.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: But our lead this hour is from the aforementioned Saliva.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: We are going to talk about Saliva doesn't get talked
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: about enough on sports radio. So our lead is from Philadelphia.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: That is where Eagles defensive star. I don't know if
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: he's a star, but I've heard of him, so Jalen Carter.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: It turns out. Is he going to be suspended for
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: this weekend's game for the Philadelphia Eagles. No, In fact,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: he will not miss any future games for spitting a
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: loogie on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. The NFL announcing
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: that they decided, after a negotiation with the agent for
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Jalen Carter that since this is their logic, they said,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: since Carter was ejected from last week so the season
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: opening game, I remember last Thursday, it was a big
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: kind of a big deal. He did not participate technically
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: in a single play. So the league said they were
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: going to consider that particular game the one game suspension
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: being served that he already time served. So this is
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: an important distinction, because the NFL wants you to know
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: that they have established president all future players that decide
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: they want their flem to go on another human being,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: you will be suspended. You will be suspended, and it
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: will result in a one game suspension. So let us
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: discuss the question, what's your read on the NFL's decision to.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Say time served time served for Jalen Carter?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: The Eagle spinner, So on this one, I've got freak show,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Arctic monkeys and aquafina and we will combine all of
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: these things together and we're going to make authentic Canadian poutine.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Now I got to enjoy that thanks to our guy
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Nico and Vancouver who rolled out the red carpet that
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: great Vancouver meet and greet that we did there. And
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: what a spread, I say, the greatest spread that we've
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: had because it was all free. Kim Niko rolled out
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the red carpet. Everyone showed up to that Vancouver meet
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: and greet. It was all paid for. It was awesome
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and a big thing of poutine and all my foods.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: It was wonderful, all right.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: So number one, this is not a suspension. Can we
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: all agree on this? Anyone disagree? No one disagrees. This
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: is not a suspension. This is a work around, Capitol
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: w work around is what this is.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: That's what the NFL is doing here.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: That's don't spit on my cupcake and tell me it's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: all frosting.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's what this is.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: And it's a technicality because he was in uniform. He
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: did run out to start the game with his teammates there,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: he was on the field when the game kicked off,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: on the sidelines. He got ejected and now the NFL
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: thinks you're a moron, and they want you to believe
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: that that counts as a suspension. They want you to
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: believe that they counts as a suspension. Now, my position
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: was he shouldn't get suspended. However, now I'm upset with
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the NFL because the NFL is like, well, though that
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: was a suspension, No it was not. It's like wink green, nod, nod.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: It's like, come on, what are you doing? Seriously? I mean,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I understand, I do. What do I know? You think
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I'm just a country bumpkin over here? What's wrong with you? Anyway?
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: And it's one of these things. Whatever it takes, whatever
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: it takes, right, because if you look at the schedule
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: this weekend, and if you remember the promos from Week
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: one of the NFL, do you know who the Eagles
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: are playing?
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, it's kind of a kind of a big deal.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: They are playing. That's right.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Canzah City, the home of the Ben Mallard Chicken figures
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: that is America's game of the week. You cannot have
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Jalen Carter. I don't care how fat that loogie was
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: and how much green mucus came out of his mouth.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Because it was Egle Green. You cannot have that man
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: miss America's Game of the week. The American people need
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: to see Jalen Carter's fat ass on the field.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: That's what they need.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady's calling the game. It's kind of a big deal.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: You need to have him on. That is the most
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: protected TV window you could possibly have. Now, my favorite
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: part of this is the NFL slap Jalen Carter with
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: a fifty seven thousand dollars fine. They based it on
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: his per game salary. You talk about some expensive phlegm. Like,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you how if I were to get
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: fine for spitting, and I mostly just spit, I have
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: a mic condom, so I practice safe spitting.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: I have a mic. Hear that I have a mic condom,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: so I do practice safe spinning. Why you gotta get
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: him that hook? Yeah, dude, and spit on that night.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: So if his is worth fifty seven thousand, like, how
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: much is some of mine worth?
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: There?
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: You know malor lugi? Now, my lugies are not heard
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: around the world like his are. But you talk about inflation.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: That is the world's priceiest spit fifty seven thousand? Now,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: at least back in the day. If you're old, there's
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: a guy named Berto Alomar in my I heard stories
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: of because I wasn't doing sports radio and he spit
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: at an umpire.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: God no, but I've been told.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Wink wink, nod nod that when Alamar decided that he
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: wanted to give the umpire a nice juicy piece of
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: phlegm years ago, everybody knew he got suspended. That was
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: a suspension for a number of games. But this is
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the NFL pretending to be tough. We're National Football. We
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: are tough, but we're also gonna make sure that the
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: key players play in the most important games because we
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: are a TV show and we need the stars of
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the TV show to be in the TV show. It's
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: a marquee matchup and you're gonna play. So it's it's
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: like a substitute teacher writing you up for detention. And
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: then the principle says, you know what, just to count
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: that recess as time serve punishment. That's a recess. Yeah,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and Carter, he gets to play on the big stage.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Massive game would be the highest rated game of the
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: NFL weekend. The Eagles and the Chiefs, a rematch of
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: that little game they played at the end of last season,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and so Dak Prescott he got also a game used souvenir. Congratulations,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: you got some of Jalen Carter's DNA on your uniform.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: But it's all spin, right, It's all spin, And of
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: course it is. It's a big corporation. It's like, we
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: are tough on spitting. We are tough on spitting until
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: it interferes with a matchup against Patrick Maholmes and then
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: him playing Jalen hurts. Then suddenly he's eh, it's okay,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: it's all but oh, this is we have not changed
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the president. We have not changed the president at all.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: So the messaging is rather clear. If you're in the
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: NFL and you have a predisposition for spitting, if you
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: are going to spit, make sure that you do it
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: before a primetime game, because then you will not get
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: And this is not primetime. It's a late TV window,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: but it's not like a night game. It's the late
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: game on Fox on Sunday. Now, if you spit on
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: someone and then the next game you play is against
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans of the New Orleans Saints, you will
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: have to miss that game.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: You will have to miss that game, but America's game
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: of the week. We gotta have yacht there.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: The American people, the men, women and children, need Jalen
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Carter out there for the Philadelphiagos.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: That's the message from the NFL.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Now we head across the United States to Santa Clair
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: to the Bay Area, where it didn't take long. Snap, crackle,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: pop goes to tight end. Just like that, the forty
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: nine ers given the whammy as George Kittle's hammy went
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: whammy and the San Francisco football team putting a star
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: tight end George Kittle on injured reserve with a hammy
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: that did decide to go wammy, and so Kittle will
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: be forced to miss at least four games. Four games
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: will be eligible return in week six of the season.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: If you have your phone out, that's October twelfth, you
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: can come back at Tampa Bay against the Baker and
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the touchdown Maker.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: So how big a blow?
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: How big a blow is the loss of George Kittle
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers over the next month, We're
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: gonna call it. So this is obviously not a bruise.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: This is not that, it's not a hangnail. It's not
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: that this is old school, back in the day, old
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: school boxing. Rocky Marciano the susie Q punch I never saw,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: but I heard about it well. I called his his
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: knockout punch was the susie Q. He called it there
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: and right to the jaw, Right to the jaw for
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. So Kittle's thirty one, although he
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: plays a lot.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Older than that.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Can we all agree on that plays a lot older
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: than that, And he's certainly an old thirty one.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: And his home away.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: From home not really the end zone anymore, and he's
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: moved on from that. He's graduated from the end zone.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: It's now that up blue injury ten. That is his
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: home away from home. So you see him go down.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Kittle goes down. It's a contact sport, and you don't
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: even check the replay. You don't need to check the
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: replay when George Kittle goes down. You just start googling
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: who the backup tight end is because that guy's going
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: to get in the game. That's all you need right there.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: And the Niners are already now I know they beat Seattle,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: but it's more of a product of Sam Darnold sucking
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: being the old Sam Duna. So the Niners are already
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: oozing goo already to start the year in terms of injuries,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: and they tried to change the roster. They kept a
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: lot of the veteran guys though, and they mixed filled
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: in the roster with some younger players and the older
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: guys already showing up in the infirmary. And so they've
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: already lost a couple of guys. Now, Kittle not exactly
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: a side dish, despite his regular appearances on the injury list.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Not side dish. He's the steak. He's the stake of
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: that offense. And he was the thirty first ranked player
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: on that Dopey Top one hundred. I know Terry and
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: England loves that list. He's a big fan of the list.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: So you know, so while next man up, let's just
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: go next man up and all that stuff. It's like
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: saying you're going to replace the Arctic Monkeys with a
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: cover band from the local dive bar.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Now, maybe that'll work. I don't know.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: It seem to have a lot of downloads over there
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: on the introweb and all that stuff, so they seem
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: to be doing something right. But this is not an
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: isolated incident with George Kittle. He has a very rich
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: resume of injury, very rich resume of injury. In fact,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I believe if my math is right, I used mather math.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: The last last five years he's missed sixteen games. So
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: essentially he's missed almost an entire season of his last
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: five years in the NFL because of injury. So you
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: cannot call George Kittle durable. Cannot use that as a
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: word to describe George Kittle. You call him rent controlled
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: is what you call him rent control, because he finds
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: finds a way to take time off, and that's kind
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: of the way he goes. But losing Kittle and all
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, you look at the Niners here objectively,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: not to go Olhardo's Sports Radio on you, but if
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: you look at the forty nine ers and starting to
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: handicap this game as we go forward with Benny versus
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: the Penny, which is on YouTube now, so you handicap
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: the game, and you're like, all right, well, you look
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: at how the forty nine ers operate, and he is
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: your third down security blanket for brock Purty, and what
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: is the scouting report on brock Purty. He does not
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: make players around him better that brock Purty needs the
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: star players to elevate him, not vice versas. So now
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: you're taking away his safety blanket all Who knows if
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: he's going to play. He's got a bad toe and
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: a shoulder thing, so he might not even play against
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: the Saints.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Now, the good news is you are playing the Saints,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: so that is good.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: And the play action part of the forty nine ers
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: offense with Kittle as an option that does not have
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: the same bite to it, the same teeth to it,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: So you don't have that, and the forty nine's offense
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: just has less of an edge. There's less of a nastiness.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: To it all right.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Now, staying with that final point though, final point to
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: the transaction wire, where the Niners made a roster move.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: They have fired their kicker, Jake Moody. I guess he's
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: in a bad moody. Jake Moody gone. He missed sixteen
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: field goals in three years. We hear that's not good.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Those daytime people say that's not good. If you miss
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: sixteen field goals in three years, you're probably doing something wrong.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Mister chipshot field goal. A couple of should have made
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: field goals against Seattle, and so the Niners fired Jake
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Moody and he went out stage left, and then the
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: other guy came in stage right. That would be Eddie
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Panero on your scorecard, former Carolina kicker, Chicago Bears kicker.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: So question, where are you at on the forty nine
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: ers dumping Jake Moody after keep in mind the other
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: part of the story here. Don't purry the lead my
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: man is that Kyle Shananahan, the coach, said after the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: game that Jake Moody's job was safe. Yikes, all right,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: so that part of it is laughable. Who goofed? I've
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: got to know and Shanahan goes full Halloween. Pinocchio knows right,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Pinocchio knows mode after the game, and so it's just
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: what coaches do. Shanahan is the guy who will tell
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: you do not worry, nothing to worry about here, that
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Midtown Bridge is as safe as it could possibly be,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: right before it falls into the river, right before that,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: and standard coaching half truce, right the half truce of coaching,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: the exaggerations of coaching that Shannan's saying. He said, no
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: question that Jake Moody would be his kicker going forward
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: and then basically a day and a half later he's gone.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: So he should have said, no question, Jake Moody, he's
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: not a kicker. He stinks that's what he should say.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: But he's a teachable moment. Don't listen to coaches, don't
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: believe coaches, teach him moment.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: That's why we're here in sports radio to break down coaches.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: We give you truth and broadcasting, unlike the coaches who lie.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: And it's also a reminder that drafting kickers is dumb.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: The dumb, dumb, dumb. It's a stupid test. It just is.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like paying full price for a bottle
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: of Aqua Final water while there is a drinking fountain
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: right there, Like why would you do that?
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Fun fact about that Dodger Stadium opened up this palace
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: many years ago and they did not have drinking fountains.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: They forgot to put drinking fountains in Dodger Stadium, so
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: they had to put them in. But these I assume
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the reason they didn't put drinking foundas in and they
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: want people to buy water, although back then people didn't
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: buy water as much as they do now, but anyway,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the PA, it's kind of like bring ice to Antarctica
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: or Alaska or something like that. You don't really need
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: to do it. It's absolutely unnecessary. Drafting kickers, the Niners thought,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: yet again, they were the smartest people in the room.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: The rest of the league bunch of morons. And now,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: of course everyone's pointing fingers and laughing. They drafted a
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: kicker in the third round. Ha, it's organizational. Organizational arrogance
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: is what it is. And you love when it blows
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: up in your face or their face, not your face,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: but their face. And so they thought they were gaming
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the system, and the system gained them. Instead, they drafted
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: a guy who was so confident that he fell apart
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: by year two, and they kept him around for year three,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: and good luck. People were throwing helmets on the sidelines.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: The teammates were not big fans, and so there you go. Kickers.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: They really like relief pitchers in many ways. Kickers are
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: like relief pitchers in that they're pretty much everywhere, and
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: they're important and yet disposable. Like a good relief pitcher.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Most games in baseball are designed to be won or
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: lost by relief pitchers, yet they don't make as much
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: money as the starting pitcher. It's one of those bizarro
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: things in baseball, but in kicking in the NFL it's
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: very similar. A lot of the games will come down
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: to an extra point or a field goal, and yet
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the kicker is not really a football player. It's like
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: a weird, weird dynamic there. It's like what's a blind spot?
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Is what it is here? And so you pick a
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: kicker up off the waiver wire. You go get someone
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: from the Toronto CFL franchise, the Argonauts or the Alouettes
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: over from Montreal, and you pick them up when you
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: go to the grocery store to buy some eggs and
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: some milk or butter or whatever, and the so called
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: geniuses out in San Francisco, once again proving they're not
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: as smart as they think they are.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Here
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: we go, Here we to the third degree. This is
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: one big Ben gets grilled.
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: So the Broncos were able to start off their season
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: with a win despite poor play from second year quarterback
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: bow Knicks. This has caused a contingent of the fan
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: base to panic, with some even calling for Jared Stidham. Now, Ben,
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: is it is it time to panic for the Broncos.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: For some reason? Your MIC's very overmodulated there.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, very close to always panic, Coop, You always must, No,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: of course not they won the game. You panic when
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: you play like that and you lose the game. When
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: you win the game, it doesn't matter. It's like putting
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: on a nice cologne. It takes the full smell of
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: the loss, the odor away. So no, if they start
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: losing games and he's playing like that, then you make
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: a change. But they're gonna ride with Bow the Bow
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: show next.
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: So it was announced on Monday that George Kittle will
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: miss around a month with a hamstring injury.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Ben, how bad is this news for the Niners? Well,
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: it's we talked about it. It's a mess.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, they don't have the playmakers that they've had
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: and their quarterback doesn't make players around George Kittle better.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: It is a huge deal for the forty nine ers.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Now, brock Perty's got an opportunity here, He's got an
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: opportunity to change the story about his career. I'm not
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: betting on brock Purty. Though he might have missed the
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: game this weekend, he's hurt, so it's a big deal.
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: Next the New York Mets probably aren't going to be
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: catching the Phillies and the NL East, but as of
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: right now, they hold on to that third and final
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: NL wild card spot.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Ben, do you think they keep it? No?
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I think the better story is them choking it. The
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Giants have been playing, but I think that the last
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: twenty games or so, they have the second best record
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: in baseball. So they've been playing a lot better in
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: San Francisco, and Rafael Devers is hitting similar to what
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: he did in Boston. And I love the Met fans
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: when they blow it. And to not even make the
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: playoffs with this roster, that would be so great. God,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: I want that to happen. Obviously I hate the Giants,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: but I want the Giants to make the playoffs for
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: the Mets.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Anyway, there it is, Cooperloop, how did we do?
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: That?
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Is a win? I I'm a winner.

  Speaker 6: just want to remind you as sports season comes in,
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: make sure you show your special person they are still
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: special even though you are busy watching sports like twenty thousand.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Hours of Oh, is that? I feel like that. It's
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: a personal situation, Lorena, I feel like this.
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, I like watching sports I have grown
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: to enjoy.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: Is there are a butt? No, No, there's no, there's
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: no spots.
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: I was just thinking about women who don't enjoy sports
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: and how sad they must be with their men. Yeah,
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: just you know, disassociate for the whole season. So don't
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: forget to, you know, make your woman or your man
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: still feel special if you're into sports and they're not.
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: They knew the deal when they got involved.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: It's part of the deal. Listen.
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: Do they realize how bad it is when you first
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: started dating.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: From September to February your second that's the way it
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: is the rest of the year, year number one.
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: But make sure you put those weather breaks to good use, everybody.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, the hour weather breaks are halftime. Halftime's not that long,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: but I guess you don't really need a lot of
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: time at halftime. You can kind of all right, Yeah,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: these are actual questions by actual listeners. Andy and Lionel Lakes, Minnesota,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: says Lorraina. My gal wanted me to want more of
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: me in the bedroom, so last weekend she gave me
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: two blue Chew treats and said that she'd be in
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: the bedroom in fifteen minutes.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: I unfortunately fell asleep.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Oh woke up choking with a stiff neck and inside
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: of a chalk outline.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: I get no respect.
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I know that you should never fall asleep,
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: especially if you haven't done it in a while. You know,
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: you should be so excited that that keeps you up
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: a bit. You know what I'm saying? Right, maybe you
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: should deserve to be in a body bag.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: RPS is right written in says has Lorena ever considered
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what this is. I think she's a lovely,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: very great voice. Oh so I think she This guy
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: thinks you should be doing adulta phone line, Lorena.
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, I've thought about that, have you. Oh? Yeah, me
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: and my friends used to play around with it when
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: we were younger.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's another story.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: The issue might be that you're aren't The people that
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: do that generally not that attractive.
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: You know, the girls on the hotlane on the TV
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: commercials don't look that bad.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, paid actors. All right?
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: Uh, I could do that voice message.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: We have a call for you, tiger Man in Utah
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: or maybe maybe some other state.
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: Hello tiger Man.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: Hey, I'm actually in Hawaii. But just a quick recap, Lorena,
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: I do have two kids with two different women. Unfortunately,
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: do not have relationship with the woman or the kids.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: Now I'm in a relationship with another woman and I
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: want this to work out, but I'm spending like two
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: to three hundred dollars a week on this girl, and
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: it's trying to get expensive. And I want to know
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: what you think I should do.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, your girl should not be draining your funds.
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: Never let them take advantage of your wallet unless you
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: want to be a sugar daddy. No, I do not, okay,
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: But also, but also is she a good companion? Is
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: she giving you what you need in the in the relationship?
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, but how'd you would rather be alone?
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what what do you? What is she like?
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: That's like a that's like a jed who fled drug habit,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Like two thousand dollars has a.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: Lot of money week two dollars. Oh I thought you said.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: I thought you said two thousand.
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: I still think about how much that adds up to you.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: It does add up. That does add up.
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, she buying you gifts with this money?
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Call it? Do you do you live near this woman?
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: Or she lives somewhere else?
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: No, she lives. I mean we're almost going to live together.
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: Okay, all right, okay, well, if you're planning on moving forward,
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: I don't think calling it is the is the thing here.
• 45:23
  Speaker 6: But also you need to realize if you do move forward,
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: you're going to be paying for everything.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: You might want to test her ass. Say I'm a
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: little low on money. Can I get a couple hundred
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: bucks from you?
• 45:31
