  Speaker 2: B.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: So I leave this hour. Keep it simple, keep it simple.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Why not not the playoffs? Layoffs? No, but our leaders
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: from Los Angeles, the Rams who won the NFC West.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: They were better than that week Seattle team, the overrated
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers and Alligator arms Kyler Murray. So the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Rams made the playoffs yet again they normally do, Sean McVay.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: They beat the Vikings, a team that had in one
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of the great seasons in franchise history, and dominated that game.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: They had a chance to beat the Eagles in the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: final seconds on a snow game in Philadelphia. And now
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: they're hanging out pivoting to the offseason. And there's some
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: debate on what's going to happen with Matthew Stafford. We
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: mentioned this in a previous episode of this show, and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford was rather vague after the loss to Philadelphia. So,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: if you haven't been following along, Sean McVay has now
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: entered the chat on this and maybe maybe you missed it,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: but Sean McVay hoping to get some clear now. Now,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: last year Matthew Stafford was debating whether or not he
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: was going to play, and it came down to when
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: training camp started for the Rams. It was like right
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: either right before or a couple of days after training
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: camp started, Matthew Stafford agreed to a a contract with
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the Rams. The deal was for just one year, forty million.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Good work if you can get it. And now they're
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: back at a fork in the road. Does Matthew Stafford
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: want to play football again? Does he want to play
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: for the Rams again? Do the Rams want Matthew Stafford back?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Do they want somebody else? And so Sean McVay was
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: asked about the situation with Matthew Stafford and the reworked
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: contract and will it come down to the very end
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: before training camp. Well, here's what McVeigh had to say,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: take a list, that's not so.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's good for anybody. I think sooner
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: than later, being able to get that clarity, understand, clear,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: open and honest communication. I think there's a lot of
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: love coming from our part. I think there's a lot
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: of appreciation coming from his part as well. You know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I think a lot sooner than later. Jordan is an
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: ideal scenario, and I think the appropriate thing is is,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: let's let the emotions settle. You know, Matthew and I
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: have obviously talked. He knows how important he is to
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: me and our football team.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a great dialogue.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: And then I think the appropriate timeline for us is,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: you know, we'll get a chance at the end of
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: next week to.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Really sit down.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: That'll be one of the first topics kind of on
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: your to do list to be able to talk about.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: And then hopefully that'll give us the opportunity to be
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: able to, you know, move towards you know, clarity in
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: regards to how that affects his status and what we're doing,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: you know, with what we know is an incredibly important
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: position for a football team moving forward.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: That was very long witted, but Sean McVay slobber chops
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: there a little hawktol action there for Sean McVay. When's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the last time your boss said I love you and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you mean a lot to me. What does that happen
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: regularly to you? I don't know. Maybe he does. Maybe
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: everyone has their boss say how much they love you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and mean to you and all that. I don't think
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that's normally how it works. But let us discuss the question,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So Sean McVay, as you just heard, saying that he's
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: hoping for Matthew Stafford's decision whether he's going to retire
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: or not, sooner than later. So the question on the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: big radio dial here is how concerned is Sean McVay
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that the Rams will have to scramble to find a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: new quarterback. So my observations, I've got Stone, Zebra, and Gatorade,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we are going to make gringo tacos, the crunchy taco,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: my favorite kind of taco, the crunchy taco. We'll do that.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Tacos dorado they call them. Now number wa what number
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: is it?
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: All?
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Right? So the Rams, you got to go through the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: backstory before you get to where we are right now.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: So how concerned is Sean McVay. The Rams were ready
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: for a divorce from Matthew Stafford a couple of years ago.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: They thought he was barbecue chicken, right, they thought he
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: was cooked and all that, And to his credit, Staffords
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: rebounded and he's had a bit of a renaissance back
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to back playoff years now. That said Sean McVay, his
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: level of concern that on the Mallord scale of concern,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the Mallord scale of concern for Sean McVay one to ten,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: McVeigh is at a two. He's at a two on
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the Mallor scale of concern about whether or not Matthew
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Stafford comes back, because eventually Stafford's going to retire, right,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and it'll provide another stone, a stepping stone for the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Rams coach. He can add to his legend. And he's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: one of these guys. An obstacle is a stepping stone
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: for bigger and better things. And Sean McVay, who did
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: work for a team called the Redskins. I know that's taboo.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You're not supposed to say that name anymore, but that's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: who McVeigh worked for. One of his first big jobs
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: in football was with the old Redskins. Jay Gruden hired him.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: But McVeigh is chasing down another Redskin coach, Joe Gibbs.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: He's already gotten to the Super Bowl twice with two
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: different quarterbacks, McVeigh with Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford. One
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: with Stafford lost with Golf because Goff puked all over
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the field against the Patriots, but Joe Gibbs. As you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the only coach to have won three Super Bowls with
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: three different quarterbacks, Joe Thiseman, Doug Williams, and Mark Rippin.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And if McVeigh can go out and find another diamond
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: in the rough and get back to a Super Bowl,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he will tie Joe Gibbs, which, by many accounts is
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the great accomplishment. Andy Reid got there with two. There
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: have been other coaches that have gotten there with two
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: like McVeigh, but three, now, that is that's next level.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: That's next level. And Sean McVay is one of these guys.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Like most coaches, he's the leader of the pack, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: he's got all the answers to the test and all that,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and so he thinks of himself as a quarterback whisperer.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see who he picks next. Now,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: with forty nine million, if Stafford leaves, they're gonna have
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: like forty nine million dollars in CAP. Now, I'm a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: CAP truther, so I don't think that matters either way.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: But the Rams will have plenty of room to go
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: out and make some kind of radical movement quarterback if
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: they want, or they can just sit back and draft
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: some wide eyed rookie and hope that they turn out
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to be all right. Now, page two, we head to Motown,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: where a former Rams quarterback is in the spotlight a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: lot of concern. The Lions were Numero UNO in the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: NFC this year and now they've lost their defensive coordinator
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and their offensive coordinator. But the issue is behind the curtains,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: what's going on in Detroit with that offense? Because most
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: people don't think that Jared Goff is all that good. Right,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So he played well during the regular season. So now
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: that Ben Johnson is gone, that changes the dynamic, right,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that changes the dynamic. So I bring this up Lions
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: General manager Brad Holmes. What up Holmes? Brad Holmes? Now,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: he says he does not expect any drop off from
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Jared Goff without Ben Johnson around to call the plays.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So status quo, smooth sailing, all that. So how do
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you see all this working out in Detroit? So my
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: first thought is, did you really expect Brad Holmes, the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: GM of the Lions, to come out and say, oh, yeah,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: we think Jared Goff is going to play like a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: kittie cat, and he's a he's a kitten, and that's
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: what he's gonna play like. Here, come on, Jared Goff,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I'll use a different animal analogy. Jared Goff is he's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: wearing Lions clothing, but he's a zebra. Zebra in Lions clothing.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Can a zebra change its stripes? Well, we know the answer, right,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: And he has set himself up Jared Goff. It's the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Peter principle. He has reached his highest level of incompetence
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and he remains there. Now. He's not a bad quarterback.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: He's just not that good in big games. He's a
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: solid regular season quarterback who plays very well against substandard opponents,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the short passing game, the checkdown passing game. In big games,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Jared Goff becomes a dukie, not a duke blue devil.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: He becomes the duke of Puke is what he becomes.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: In his playoff career. Jared Goff with the Rams and
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the Lions has run the gauntlet. He has nine touchdown
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: passes and nine turnover plays, five interceptions and four fumbles
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: in Jared Goff's career. So not all that. Hey, He'll
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: be fine during the regular season. At some point he's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: going to get old. It happens to everybody. But you'll
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: be all right during the regular season. The problem is
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: everything's got to be perfect around Jared Goff for him
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: to succeed. Rams got to a super Bowl with him,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: but not because of him. All right, final point, We
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: squirm back to the NFL Playoffs Playoffs Championship Sunday in
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the NFL this weekend, Washington coach Dan Quinn, now Dan
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Quinn chimed in. He says that his team, the team
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: formerly known as the Redskins, the Commanders, feed off the dismissiveness.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: That's the word he used, the dismissiveness of the doubters. Yeah,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: So how does that one hit you? Dan Quinn, head
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: coach of the Washington football team, saying that the Commanders
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: feed off the dismissiveness of the doubters in the media.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: So how does that hit you? So it hits me
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: like predictable right in the schnas right, right, You don't
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: don't open your eyes. The ball's coming after boone. Right. Oh,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: And we talked about a lot about this on the show.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: We've come to a determination that it's it's not gatorade.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It's like a spin off of Gatorade that is the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: number one sports drink in the NFL and all of
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: professional sports. It's called hater rade. Is it in you? Right?
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Is it in you? And I spent my entire time
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: here coming in and just telling you of athletes and
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: coaches who won something, accomplished something, and then had to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: let you know the reason they did that is because
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: nobody thought we could do it, and we proved so
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and so wrong. And you know, a lot of the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: kool aid, like the low information fan, the Neanderthal fan,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: that just is a total total drinker of the kool aid,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: as we like to say, for their team. I can't
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: believe anyone like Bill Mafia is a great example, right,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: they're very soft fans. Buffalo's a small you know, small
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: town operation, right, po donk Usa. The way they reacted
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to my guy Sports with Coleman tells me that's a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: minor league count right, The way they react, it's embarrassing. Right,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: you're in a big city. You don't care what Jerry Coleman.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I love Jerry, but you don't care what Jerry Coleman says.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: But they got so upset with Sports with Coleman, Right,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: they should be thinking they should be thanking my friend
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: sports with Coleman because it provides extra fuel in the tank. Right,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: And I will remind you this is a yet again
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a teachable moment that the doubters are the spark of
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: life that lights the fire under athletes. And if everyone
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: said only nice things about professional sports teams and athletes,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know what would happen. Nobody might show up
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to play. They'd be like, I don't know what to do.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: The only reason they try to win, it would seem
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: is because somebody didn't think they could do it. My oma,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: What in the world? All Right? It is the Ben
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Mahlor Show. And if you'd like to be part of this,

• 16:59
  Speaker 1: back to the madness we go. Well, Bill, there's no
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: madness here, although there is madness in the building because
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Loraina has been dealing with a ghost in the vending
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: machine at Fox Sports right now. I'm boycotting the vending
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: machine at Fox Sports Radio for multiple reasons. The main
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: reason is when they installed the vending machine years ago.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: We've told this story before, but they had nineteen nineties
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: prices in the vending machine.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: Like ten cents for a cookie.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: It was really cheap. And then one of the one
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: of the engineers who no longer works at the company,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: went to management and said, hey, these are the prices
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: are too cheap here. Who does that? Seriously? Who does?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And so they raised the prices and screwed up the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: entire company. People that want to save a couple of
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: bucks on some m and ms or some snacks. And
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: but Lorena, you are a regular consumer of the vending machine.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, thanks for calling me out, Ben, Yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Well no, A coople loop is also I sit in that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I'm fascinating. I sit in that back room. I get
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: get there early before the show and stuff, and I'll
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: i'll sit in the very back room. I have a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: view of the vending machine, but I'm usually in the dark,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: so I'm kind of like sitting there like like a
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: spot sees I am. I am amazed how many people
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: walk over to buy a little snack.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I know there are people from the fifth floor that
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: come down here to use that vending machine.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: It is wild. I'd like I thought when they put
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: that in. I thought, maybe they'll sell one or two
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: items a day. But and I'm there at night, right,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not there. Imagine during the day what it must
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: be like. There must be high and the vending machines
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: out of a lot of stuff.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: There was one guy that used to work here that
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I don't believe so anymore. And I know that whoever
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: owns that vending machine has really bummed that he no
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: longer works here.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: He was a big consumer.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he worked for Steve Harvey.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, I think I know, kind of
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a shorter guy. Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, I know what
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: you're talking about.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: He would go like three times a night.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Wow. So, Lorena, you went down there to try to
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: buy a nice snack the other day.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: I was actually trying to surprise Coop because the day
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: before he really wanted the Sour Patch kids, but they
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: only had the watermelons in front. So he took one
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: for the team and he got the watermelons. So yesterday
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: when he went to go get a water I was like,
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: you know what, I'm gonna go get the Sour Patch kids.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: And I'm not surprised. Wonderful, what a wonderful thing.
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: To do.
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: I'm a very thoughtful person. Anyways, so I go over there.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: That's a humble brag, thank you.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: So the day before there was two sour patch kids
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: in there, but yesterday there was only one left, so
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: we're down to the final sour patches.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: It's because nobody wanted the watermelon one. He was just
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: sitting there for days.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Why do people not like the watermelon?
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: It's cause it's because they're not really they're not really
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: sour okay.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: And they're not the original. Everyone just likes the original.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: So anyways, g yeah, I put in my money.
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: The thing he starts to go, the bag falls and
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: it hits the glass and it's like stuck, like like
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: diagonally stuck.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: But it's not because it's wedged.
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: No, no, no, that would be nice because that means
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: I could have unwedged it potentially, but no, the plastic
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: is actually stuck between the vending machine wall and the little.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Thingy that spins coil.
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and since it's the last one, it'll just tell
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: me it's out, so I can't just buy another and
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: get two for one.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: Huh huh.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Now I have a couple of questions. The first question
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: is do you think the person that put that in
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: did it like that, Like they accidentally put it in
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and it got pissed.
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go post this on Twitter for so here's
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: my thought.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like it wasn't intentional, but it wasn't It
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: wasn't done properly because over it's it's the one closest
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: to the edge the wall, right, it's the first in
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: the row. And I feel like sour kids are a
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: heavier item than most of the other things in there,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: so it's more likely to get stuff, you know what
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know get we in this see
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: you thing?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: It should have been like it was in C ten.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: You think it should have been in like C seven
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: or C eight exactly. Now, if you're curious, the FSR
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: vending machine. C seven has Oreo cookies. C eight has
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: these are like peanut butter crackers, and then you've got
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: sweet and Salty in C nine, and then you had
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the sour patch. All those items a dollar fifty A
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: dollar fifty that's how much they cost there.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: This is so frustrating to look at, Ben and I
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: just want everyone to see on the back side of
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: this bag that there is a little man waving.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Are you tweeting this?
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gona tweet.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: This is the kind of content that people need on
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: overnight talk radio. And the other thing too about it is.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Sour patch dilemma. What is this Grimlin's in the vending machine?
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: What is there a number on the vending machine? Know,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: sometimes the vending machine will have a number. If there's
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a problem or something, you can call whatever.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: To have that all assist me for a dollar twenty five.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Now, let me tell you some When I did midday radio,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: many many, I mean this is a long time ago.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: The coolest listeners. We had the vending machine guy that
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: filled up the vending machine. I was doing middays and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: these guys would show up to our remotes with boxes
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: of Doritos and the cookies and candy bars that were extra.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: And as a fat man at that time, this was
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: like Santa Claus. This was amazing. Would bring all this
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: extra food and they just had it all the time
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: because they were I guess extra. I don't know how
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: it worked. Maybe they were embezzling the food, but they
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: always had the If you can be friends with the
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: vending machine person, you will be rich in snacks like Lorena.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: You should find a nice vending machine man to date,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and then you can get all the sour patch, all
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the Oreo cookies, the candy bars you could possibly want.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: That is a brilliant idea.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: Also, people who work for claw machines. I love the
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: little stuffies.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: That's one of the great scams claw machine.
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: When I worked at Red Robin, I would be like,
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: give me that key. That one's cute.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I'm going in.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Oh did you and were you able to? Yeah? You did? Yeah,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I watched uh went I went a couple of months ago.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Was it daven Busters That's is that a national thing? Yeah?
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: That is a national thing. Yeah.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: So they had a claw machine, but it was like
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a high end claw machine where you had to pay
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: like extra for it, and there were people lined up.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: It was like you were online to get tickets to
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: see Taylor Swift or something. It was insane. And I
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: stood there because I was fascinated, and nobody got anything.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: But they were still trying. They were still going for it.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: Anyway, Hey, those vending machine places are really busy. Those
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: are like they have really good toys now, like no
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: doing quality products.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: You can win My younger brother, the one that in
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin very good at the claw machine, and we would go.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: Out with that is such a skill, it is right,
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: and he would aways press a girl.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Well not girl. He impressed my nieces. You know, they
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: don't really count, but they would. We'd go out and
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: my uh, we'd all go out, and then he'd always
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: get them stuffed animals. And I'm like, I couldn't do that.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: You know, I got nothing. I got no skill with
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: the claw machine. I just go to the phones cashing
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: a golden ticket. We say, hello, is he awake or
• 24:27

• 25:04
  Speaker 5: flag on you, Ben. They took a tough pa.

  Speaker 1: No, no, no, you were sleeping. They actually the Vikings
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: won that game.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: You're right, I slept because I wanted them to win,
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: because I thought I.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Would bring him good luck by sleeping, you thought they
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: would have good luck.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: I needed luck to Win's not playing environment.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a hostile environment. There were Viking fans there
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: than RAM fans.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know what that's because they feel sorry
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: for the RAM fans. And I hope you're safe. Then
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: I hope boy Right is safe. I hope you keep
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: Coop safe because I know Coop don't like me. I
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: don't even think wanted me to play too much or
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: not enough for and then the other games you can
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: win gold and take your time because I don't think
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Coop thinks I know what I'm talking about. Now.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's a you problem or that's a
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Coop problem? What you think you think that's your perceiving
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: that that cool? Pats your Gutsop? Do you hate hollering
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: James side of.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Me and an ass out of Coop?
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I don't hate anybody.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: You don't hate anybody.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Is there a strong distaste?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Why are you asking me this?
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: Then?
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get to the bottom of the story.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: Ben's a reporting mine and reporting minds want to know.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: I just.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I just don't like how you seemingly purposely try to annoy.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: Me on purpose? Yes, just annoying.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. You hang up and call back
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: like fifteen times a day. Why don't you just call
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: once and stay on hold until Ben takes your call.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: Because I got an o'bamble phone. I got the group
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: home house phone so that I was acceptably on charge
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: because I live with the house name calling in and
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: I have to share the phone with him. And if
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: there's not enough charge on.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: It, mister Ben, that would explain one hang up and
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: one callback. You do it fifteen times.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: Because I'm a multiple choice?
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: What is that your needs means? By the way, Cooper,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: you have to learn the art group of the the
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: the answer non answer for the non answer answers. We
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: gotta learn, like I have nothing to say on that,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: no comment, no comment, Yeah, next question the same.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: My friend can be better next year. And if Donald
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: decides to leave, we've still got McCarthy and let us
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: trade for Stafford. Why don't we make a deal with
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: the ramsay you have McConnell is a good for the
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: Sean mcvay's. We can make a deal with the Rams,

• 28:14
  Speaker 1: calling back right now. Hey, what's going on? Come on?
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Put me on another good non answer? Coop is I
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: don't want to speculate on that. You know, my favorite
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: is coaches when I go out and do those interviews
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: after games and they'd be like, somebody would obviously f
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: up and cost their team the game, And I say,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: what do you think of that? I gotta go back

• 37:06
  Speaker 4: To the third degree?
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: This is one big Ben gets grilled gool.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: There have apparently been a lot of Steelers fans suggesting
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: that the team should trade their best assets while they
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: still have high value. Former quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said on
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: a recent podcast that he thinks the team can trade
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: George Pickens, but that they should hold on to t. J.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Watt and Minka Fitzpatrick. Ben, do could you see any
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: of these three getting traded?
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I take that back. George Pickens has caused
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: some problems there, so if it's as bad as the
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Internet makes it out to be, and they do some
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: soul searching there in Pittsburgh, I could see Pickens being traded,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: but the Steelers do not tear things down. It's a
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: bittersweet story in Pittsburgh. They want to be good. I
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: like that. They don't want to suck. Who wants to suck?
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: So I don't see them changing the franchise charter and
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: getting rid of all those Maybe George Pickens, but that's it.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Next, Notre Dame's d defensive coordinator Al Golden is heading
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: back to the NFL to be Cincinnati's new defensive coordinator.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Golden had previously been the Bengals linebacker coach in twenty
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty twenty one, Ben, do you think he can
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: turn around their atrocious defense?
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Well? Can he? Yes? Because the bar is low a right,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: the bar is low. They were so bad, they were outplayed,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: underachieved last year. If they go from terrible to average,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Al Golden scene is a mensa. So the bar is
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: not that high for Al gold So, but they're not
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: going to be a top ten defense, but they could
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: be a anywhere in like the middle part of the NFL.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: They'll be in good shape next.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: A new report says that Luka Dohnsik is expected to
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: be back for the MAVs in mid February. They've gone
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: I think five and nine in his absence, Ben, do
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: you think they can still be in the hunt by
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: the time Luca comes back.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Well, yes, not the hunt to be like a top
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: team in the West.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: The playoffs.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, everyone gets in the play You realize how
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: hard because they have that Fugees playing thing. You realize
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: how hard it is to not make the playoffs in
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: the NBA. If you're trying, there are so many teams
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: that aren't trying. If you just put an honest effort in,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: you'll end up getting at least in the playing So yeah,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: they'll at least make the play in tournament. Not worried
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: about that. There it is mallet of a third degree.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: How did we do pass well?
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: I don't like your tone. I do not like your
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: tone too. That was bad tone. Bad tone.
