  Speaker 1: but ear leave this hour. So I'm really the last
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: man standing. It is time for our obligatory Mallard monologue
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on Aird Rodgers. That's right, good old Aaron Rodgers. Now
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the weekend has come and gone. It's all over. It's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Monday morning here, last day of the month of March.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Got the NFL owners meetings going on. Have you heard
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the latest developments in the saga that is the life
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and times of Aaron Rodgers? Mister darkness retreat guy, So
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: maybe not know. We got you covered. We got you covered,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: don't worry. So the latest development involves the Steelers head
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: coach Mike Tomlin. Did Mike Tomlin say I've had enough,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I can't handle anymore. That's it. We are out We
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: are done. The Pittsburgh Steelers are not going to be
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: held hostage by Aaron Rodgers. We are done. Did Mike
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Tomlin step up and man up and say that? No?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: In fact, he said, in many ways the opposite, Mike Tomlin.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Tomlin told reporters that he had no definite update on
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: terms of a timeline when this will be completed, a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: resolution for Aaron Rodgers any decision whether he's going to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: sign or not sign in Pittsburgh. Tomlin said the Steelers
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: are still evaluating potential quarterback players to add to the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: team acquisitions this offseason, and he said they're merely doing
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: their due diligence. Although he claimed there is no deadline,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: there's no timeline on when Aaron Rodgers has to make
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: his mind up. So let us discuss question. How does
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin's latest status update on Aaron Rodgers
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: sound to you? All right? Does it sound to you? So?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I've got Socrates, Krusty, and the President Obama, and we
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: going to make a wonderful plate of goabba gool that's
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: just weekend, and we'll make a sandwich there with the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: gabba gul. It's right on the plate, that guy, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: we'll make the take the meat and put in the sandwich,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: will make the gopa gool, all right, So numb burn,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I said, numb burn. Now my phrase for the Steelers situation,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin's situation, his update on Aaron Rodgers, my phrase
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: is close to the vest or go guarded guarded. Now,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you take all of these coaches at face value, because
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: they will they will lie to your face. They give
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you a version of the truth, but not the whole truth. Now, Tomlin,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: as you think this guy knows what he's doing and
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: he's playing dumb. He's playing dumb, and he has a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: pretty good idea. He didn't want to reveal too much
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and I just want to keep it close to the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: vest and all that stuff. As we said, But if
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: there was an indication that Rogers was not going to
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: go to Pittsburgh, then you would have heard something. By Now,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he's gung ho to go join the Insers,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: but the fact that nothing popped out from anyone saying well,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Rogers does not want to go there, that leads me
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to believe there is a belief that a deal will
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: get done. And you have to play the game, right,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: You got to play the game. We know how that
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: goes here. And so Tomlin is channeling Socrates with I
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: only know that I know nothing, and you don't know
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: what you don't know and all of that. Tomlins his
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: famous quote from recent years has been, we want volunteers.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: We want volunteers, we don't want hostages. And so we
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: are confident that Mike Tomlin, that Tomlin has been given
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: again some kind of double secret handshake wink wink, nod
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: nod from Rogers. And this is inching closer to the Steelers.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: NFL insider Antonio Brown is reporting Rodgers is definitely going
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Forget Adam Schefter or
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Jay Glazer for my money, dollar for dollar, it's Antonio Brown.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: That's my insider, that's my go to insider. Here. Here's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the other reason to believe that he's going to end
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: up in Pittsburgh, or the Steelers believe he's going to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: end up in Pittsburgh. Rogers, they have punted on all
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: other options. They had both Justin Fields on one side
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson on the in their quarterback room and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they wanted nothing to do with either one of them.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: They were covered with maggots. They wanted nothing to do
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: with those guys. And so they have a safety net, granted,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: not a good safety net. It's like having a rocking
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: chair and saying that's my go to chair, and that
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: would be Mason Rudolph, the red nose quarterback, Mason Rudolph,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: who is the fallback option there? And so is it
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a case where Rogers is really following the council of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Andrea the astrology lady in Berkeley and waiting for Mercury
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to get out of retrograde, which is not until another
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: another week essentially, And this will drag on and on
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and on and on. All right, but certain Rogers does
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: not follow the normal activity, the norms of a football decorum.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: He's not doing that now. Page two. Interesting story that
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: popped up recently involving the forty nine Ers quarterback rock Party.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: All right, so, forty nine quarterback brock Party, who admitted
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: recently that he often cannot cannot see over his offensive
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: line and that he makes approximately forty percent of all
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: of his throws completely blind. Did you see this? Why
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: did this not get more attention? I think this is
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: kind of a big deal. Am I wrong on that?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Is that not a big deal?
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah? So what is your reaction to brock Purty forty nine,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: or quarterback brock Purty and his recent admission that he
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: cannot see over his offensive line and he frequently makes
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: throws completely blind blind blind blind blind blind, all right,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: So it is validation. It is validation. That is the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: word I will use here. Brock Purty is going crusty,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the clown from the Simpsons. He's saying the quiet part
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: out loud. Is what he's doing here. Brock is about
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to be paid roughly a gazillion dollars. He's almost one
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: hundred percent dependent on understanding coverages. He's not big enough,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: he's not strong enough, he's not all those things traditionally
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to play well at that position. So he has to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: anticipate the defense and where they're going to rotate the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: linebackers and the players in the secondary there, and he
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: has to trust that his receivers are actually going to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: go where they're supposed to go. So he does not
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: have elite talent. This is why he was the last
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: player drafted in the NFL draft. He doesn't have the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: height to see over the line. He doesn't have a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: bazooka for an arm. He's lacking all that, and he
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: is dependent on timing, and that is the thing here.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And yet he had a lot of success early on.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: And here we are he's six foot won the forty
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: nine er offensive line, depending on if they make any
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: changes here. In recent years they've averaged sixty five sixty
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: six on the offensive line, and so there's obviously a
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: big difference there. And now we know. Now we know
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the rest of the story. Why brock Purty regularly has
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: passes over the receiver's head. He just completely terrible passes,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: or he misses that linebacker that drops into coverage because
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: he cannot see it. You might as well put inca
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: terror out there, or legally blind Christopher or blind Amate
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: or blind Scott or any of the other members of
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the blind wing of the mal Ord Militia and just
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: toss him out there. Now, he claims brock Purty that
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: it's a sixty to forty split, that sixty percent of
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the time he can see just fine. That sixty percent
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: of the time he's perfectly okay. But it's that other
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: forty percent where you are simply relying, you're dependent one
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: hundred percent dependent on the feel of the game and
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the timing and knowing where guys are supposed to be.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Now he's claiming Rock Purdy that it's not just him.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: He says, that's how pretty much every quarterback does it
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. I find that hard to believe. I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: find that hard to believe right now, final point to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. This the final day of March. We
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: are less than a month away from go time at
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Lomboufield in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where the NFL Draft will
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: be held this year, and recent chatter indicates radio chatter
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: indicating the Tennessee Titans are quote pretty sold on cam
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Ward close quote However, however, it is not quote a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: slam dunk that Ward will be drafted number one overall
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: number in the draft. So question, can you unpack your
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the Tennessee Titans and their real opinion on
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: cam Ward less than a month ago until the NFL
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Draft twenty twenty five. So, based on reading the room here,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: reading the room in Tennessee, my position, I'm locked in.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I am locked in in my position here. It's think
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: of it like this, It's like you're going to I
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: don't know, buffalo wild wings and you order a plate
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: of wings and you're very excited about that. You can't wait.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: You're hungry, you haven't eaten in a couple of days.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: There you want to break your fast and the wings
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: show up to the table and you're anticipating. You see
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it looks pretty good, and then you go to eat
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: them and you realize that plate of wings is lukewarm.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: You're like, WHOA, I didn't want lukewarm chicken wings. I
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: wanted hot. I ordered them thinking they were going to
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: be hot. And that is cam Ward in a nutshell. Now,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: cam Ward is not the worst of the worst. It's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: not his fault. He's going to be overdrafted. But Tennessee,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: deep down, I believe they know they don't want to
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: draft him, that he's a second round graded quarterback who's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: going to be picked likely number one or number two
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: in the draft. And it's a horrible mistake. But you
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: have to draft whoever the top quarterback is, whoever has
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: been deemed the top quarterback. You have to draft him
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: at the very top because it's a quarterback league and
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: he's getting all the hype right now and all that
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. So what the Titans
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: are doing right now, They're looking around and they're like,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: can we be like the auto industry or the banking industry,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and can we get in a President Obama like bail
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: out here? Can we get some sucker to show up
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: here and bail our asses out and trade for the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: number one overall pick in the draft? They need, whether
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: it's the Cleveland Browns or the Giants or or the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Raiders or a mystery team to step up and say,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: all right, let's make a deal. I'll trade you a
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: goodie bag of players. Let's make it happen. And I
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: keep reading these draft things. I don't know why I'm
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: doing an NFL draft show. I just find them interesting,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and a lot of them it's it's a version of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the truth, but not the whole truth. And you're you're wondering,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: like what is bull crap and what is not? But
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the general consensus is that Abdul Carter of Penn State
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: is the blue chip player in this draft, that he
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: is the one that is most likely to be an
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: all pro level that there's a better chance of abdual
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Carter being an All Pro defensive player than there is
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: of cam Ward being an All Pro quarterback by night
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and day. And yet it appears that he will not
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: be drafted number one. That even if Tennessee trades the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: top pick, that whoever trades for the pick will be
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: doing it to take cam Ward at number one. So
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: stay tuned, I know you will. All Right is the
• 15:04

• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Y can Yes you can at Ben Mallar. I just
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: said at Ben mallor Lorraine, the FSR tech Clean back

• 17:14
  Speaker 1: back two Benny Blowhard, Well that's actually not one of
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the nicknames there, Bill. That's a bad job by you.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: A shame on you, King Rory writes in he says,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: as someone who lives about thirty miles from Green Bay,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I am looking forward to the draft. I plan on
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: attending night number one, number one, and I'm just hoping
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the weather cooperates that night, unlike it is now. Just
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: had an ice storm warning turned into a winter storm warning,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: typical Wisconsin weather. Well, you're saying that you want the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: weather to be good, King Ry, I would argue there
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: are factions at the NFELL that want a rare late
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: April snowstorm in Green Bay. They want that full Green
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Bay frozen tundra experience. They don't want it to be
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: seventy five degrees and picture perfect weather in Green Bay. No, No,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: they want a little bit of ice makes for better television.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: What they're worried about, Malibu Rubin, right, since says serious question.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Can ain Ragers even still play? In two years with
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the Jets, he appeared in about what eight games with
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the amount of airtime devoted to his next destination, I'll
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: take about ten snaps and then become a full time podcaster. Well,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: whether he can play or not, Malibu Rubin, we have
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: a show to do right now, and this is a
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: talking point. And Rogers did miss an entire year. Therefore, yes,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: if you look at his two years with the Jets,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: he came out his highlight was running out with the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: American flag on September eleventh, and then snap crackle pop.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Now Terry in England, who is a lap dog for
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, lick lick lick Terry Wrights and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: says that brock Purty is living rent free in Ben's mind.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Come on, Ben, give us a solution. What should the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: forties Niners do? Cut him or trade him? Well, Terry,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you know deep down what the Niners need to do.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: It's rather obvious they should trade brock party. He's not
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. He doesn't make players around him better.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And once you pay him fifty million dollars a year,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: you will then be rewarding him for something that he
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: is not. He's a mid level player in the NFL.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: And I know, and we've heard for years that Shanahan
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: loves Kirk Cousins. So why not make a deal for
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins who will either be let go at some
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: point by Atlanta or they'll be trading him for a
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: late draft pick. And if you don't think brock Purty's
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: all it and he's not, then don't pay him and
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: let somebody other dumb team payim. Whether that's the Tennessee
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Titans of the Cleveland Browns, and then you go ahead
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and get Kirk Cousins, and you figure it out for
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: a couple of years, and then you go out and
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: get whoever the next big time quarterback is. It's not
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that hard. Now, if any of these teams, including the
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers, want to contact me, they can reach
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: out to me. I am offering my consultation for a

  Speaker 1: It's all right, So we've been working voice all weekend

• 23:02
  Speaker 1: let's say the Vikings have the twenty fourth pick in

  Speaker 1: See that's a problem.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty fourth pick.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah all right, and if you don't make that pick,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I think.

  Speaker 4: They should trade up. Maybe what's that quarterbacks in that
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: bats up? Kirk Cougins, Oh.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: You think they should make a trade with the Falcons
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: for the guy that's going to be the starting quarterback
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Is that what you're saying.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: I think they should try to work out a deal
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: to get us.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Oh you want? Oh you want? I thought you. I
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: thought that thought you wanted. Okay, so you just for
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the So you want Cousins. You do not want to
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: trade for Michael Pennix Junior. No, okay, So you want
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousin. But why would you Why would he want
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to come back there? You got rid of him, you
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: didn't want him anymore.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: I know, but Cousins has shown he could be the
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: elite quarterback to back cup Jajon McCarthy, I'm.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Not Can I let you go? I feel like I
• 24:18

  Speaker 1: call is and why I got a question for you? No,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: you don't. You're just gonna make a question up. You

  Speaker 1: don't have a question for me. You just want to
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: be on the air. You don't actually have a question.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: You just admit you don't have a question. How about that?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: If you admit you don't have a question, I'll let
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: you stay on hold. If you say you have a
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: question and it's a bad question, I'm going to hang
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: up on you. How about that, I don't have a question. Okay,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: all right, hold on, I knew it. I knew he
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: didn't have a question. I knew it. I knew it.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I knew I knew him at Bones. Let's go to Andrea.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: She's in Berkeley. She's the astrology lady. Hello, Andrea, welcome.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: Hello.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: You're getting closer and closer to being right here. Andrea
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: getting closer Aaron Rodgers. Another week and no announcement from Rogers.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: Well, I know my customers, and I know when people
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: are really, you know, strongly believed in astrology and mercury retrograde,
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: case in point. And I was impressed that you remembered
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Ben April seventh, Yeah, until then.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Well, and how about this? Now there is a there
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: was one of the tabloids reported that Rogers is going
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: to be making a public appearance on April ninth, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: they believe that that is the date, April ninth, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Rogers will announce his decision.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Interesting, and it's the NFL Draft.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: The NFL Draft is the last weekend in April.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: So okay, right, yeah, April. I remember I called last
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: week and I talked about you know, for all intents
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: and purposes, it's out of retrograde. April seven.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: We are twenty four days away from the NFL, right.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: But it's not at one hundred percent strength until it
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: gets back to the degree that retrograded at, which is
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: two to three weeks later. But like I said, for
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: all intents and purposes, it's out of retrograde April seventh,
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: So I think he's biding his time. You know, he's
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: probably the other people don't know what to suspect. It's like, well,
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: is he playing hard to get It's like, you know,
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: if they do their due diligence and research, they'll know
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: he's into astrology. He's you know, a client of my colleague.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: He actually helped teach a class of hers. Yeah.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the story is Rogers is expected, although it's
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: not been confirmed, that he will appear at an event
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: with Pat McAfee in Pittsburgh on April ninth, So that
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: would be after Mercury is out.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: Of wood absolutely all right, Mercury is out of retrograde,
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: and you know, if one needs to be perfect, it
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: never gets done, so no need to wait weeks after that.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: But you know, again, for all intents and purposes, anytime
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: after April seven, So it sounds like he's got a
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: little wiggle room and he's gonna hop right on it.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: So well, we'll see, we'll see what happens. But yeah,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: you gotta make some kind of decision. You can't go
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: on forever here right.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: Well, is coming out of rech grade April seven?
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, another weeks? Nothing, come on, one more week. Everyone

• 30:04
  Speaker 1: All right, that's a terrible phone call. Let's say hello
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: to Danny de Vito, who's in Boston. Hello, Danny DeVito,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: mister Nello, what's going on? I hope you didn't bet
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: all dogs this weekend. I hope you bet some favorites.
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: Indy, I actually took a week off this week. I've
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: been getting killed the last couple of weeks, as you know.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: But I actually would have won over the weekend. I
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: would have taken the under the Duke game and I
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: would have taken Houston. That's how it always works.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: You win all the bets you don't make, every bet
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: you don't make, you end up winning. That's generally how
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: that that goes. And yeah, it's this has been an
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: unprecedented run. What's been going on here in this NCAA tournament?
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, I got a problem with Duke Ben any
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: other team besides Dukes. It sounds them about du demeanor,
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: the plays, the coaches, they're.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: All rich, spoiled care is you want to punch Is
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: that why?
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, they got that face on him, it's want
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: to punch out.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: We got that elitist, that smarmy look to them, and
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's just a Duke thing because it's been
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: my entire life. The players have changed, but they've had
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the same appearance. Gotta say, exactly.
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: Right, the same appearance and all that. So, I mean,
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: I know, I don't mind this kid Flag. He seems
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: all right, but you know the rest of these guys,
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: you know, I just I can't stand them. So I'm
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: hoping that, uh, I'm hoping that somebody beat them. They're
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: gonna probably win it the heavy favorite, but I'm hoping
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: somebody beat them. But uh, there's been some shadow too
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: about this draft. I don't know if you heard it.
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: The top this guy Jackson dot is he gonna want
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: to be a top five pick or top ten pick?
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: This saying that, I mean, you brought the the Titans
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: trade them out of that spot. But I got news
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: for you if they trade out of that spot, they're
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: not gonna go nowhere because they're gonna sit that quarterback.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: And Will Levis he can't even play.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But but here's the thing, though, if if you
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: believe these guys can't play, it's not just not a
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: great quarterback draft. Why would you still take a quarterback
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: if you don't think they're that good? Like, why would
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: you take them one? You're going to force the pick.
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: He's a prospect, right, cam wardt Well, they're all prospects.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: But a prospect is a suspect until proven otherwise.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: So I agree with that.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: I agree with that.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: But the other guy there is already it's terrible. The
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: guy he can't even play.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: So every talking about Will Will Levis the male guy
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: that is really good. His only elite skill is turning
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the ball over, which is generally what you're not looking for.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: You generally don't want to see a quarterback whose only
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: real ability is to turn the football over, whether it
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: be a fumble or an interception or all of the above,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: or all of the above. He will give you that,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: But I did want to give you the numbers on this.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to get him here. I had the numbers.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: This is the historical right now. I know in the
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Final four, I think Duke opened it, what four and
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: a half over Houston, and I think Floor I think
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: that's already gone up. And Florida is a two and
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: a half point favorite over Auburn in the other half
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: of the final fours where we played on Saturday. However, though,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: twelve and oh, the numbers here this weekend insane. The favorites.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: The favorites went twelve and oh straight up in the
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: sweet sixteen and the elite aid And that's the first
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: time ever that has happened. Not against the spread, but overall,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: favorites have won fourteen straight tourney games out right now.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: That means that means they are due to lose, is
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: what that means.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I'm hoping that happens. That's crazy. Twelve and oh,
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: first time ever, that is crazy that you know that
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: already happened.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: That's my by the way, that is my fun fact
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: of the hour. That is my fun fact of the hour.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I just want to share that fun fact.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you brought up, he brought brought thirty. They're gonna
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: make a huge mistake. Sign this kid, do you know
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: that he just soups up Mac Jones and uh. The team,
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: as you know open the last couple of years, fifth
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: team has been loaded on both sides of the ball.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: Now they're gonna be stretched down this year on both
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: sides of the ball, so you can't really see his flaw.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: I believe.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Listen, he started to show some falls. Last year's numbers
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: were down brock Purty and so we'll see how you
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: know he's Day's forty nine or lap dogs. They don't
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: want to hear it. I gotta let you go. Thank you,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Danny the Great Danny DeVito. They're checking in from Boston
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: and saying hello. It is the Ben Mahler Show. We
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: are going to have coming up here momentarily a new
