  Speaker 1: and there is no noise coast to coast, port of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the border and beyond on the vast and intendescently powerful
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: microphones of fs are amminating live from the whistle as

• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Nothing better than a fresh bagel, But you gotta get
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: there to crack it down. There's people making bagels right now,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and they get to smell the bagel. Maybe they sneak
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: one of those bagels in and they eat them. But
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the man of those things great. And this portion of
• 1:56

• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Go to expresspros dot com. So I leave.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: This hour is from the National Football League. The waiting
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: game continues for Matthew Stafford.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Oh my aching back like an episode of The Huntingmooners
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: back in the day.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So he has been dealing with apparent chronic back injury,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and that there is no.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Timeline for his recovery.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And if you look at his age the fact that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: he hasn't been able to get out in the field,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and you start crunching the numbers, Well, this isn't looking
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: very good for the Rams at all. Kind of know
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: where this is going, right, you know where this is going.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: It's not going to a good place. Not going to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a good place at all. And so we're getting to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a fork in the road.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: We're not there yet. We're not there yet. We're getting close,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: getting close.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: We've got a couple of weeks here to go of
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: exhibition games and then that's that's it. There's a dead
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: week and then the NFL regular season begins. And so
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: we're hearing.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Some some rumblings. Hear that. That's actual sound. That's what
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the rumblings sound like.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're scary, right, It was scary, yeah, all right,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: So the the rumblings say that the Rams, the Rams
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: are considering considering engaging in trade conversations with the Atlanta
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: football team or quarterback Kirk Cousins, the longtime Viking starter
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: who is persona non grata in Atlanta. Michael Pennix Junior
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: has usurped usurped Kirk Cousins as the QB number one.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: They're in Jordan.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: So, as of now, Kirk Cousins is the highest paid
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback in the NFL. The Rams their backup quarterback
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: they're playing b is a guy that started a Super Bowl,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: didn't play well in it, but started a Super Bowl
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers back in the day. Jimmy Garoppolo.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: That's right, Jimmy gy loves the porn stars. Who doesn't
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and you know Jimmy Garoppolo right there. That is the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: other option the Rams have. So let us discuss the question.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Should the Rams pull the trigger and make the deal
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: with the Falcons for quarterback Kirk Cousins or stick with
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Jimmy g and their current quarterback room. So my observations
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: on this, I've got high school Sweethearts, Monopoly, Community Chest,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and Arby's, and we'll combine all of these things together,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: every single thing, and we are gonna make the gobbagool.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: We're gonna make the gobbagoles.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: We're gonna all right, So to kick off here, if
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you say, hey, you want this to happen, I am
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I sitting here and in love with the idea of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins being the Rams quarterback. No could the Rams
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl with Kirk Cousins if he's the guy.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, Oh what are you talking about? Are you idiots?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Told me that they couldn't win with Matthew Stafford or
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: stat patter or whatever you called him.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Well, he's a de loser. He played with the Lion,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: they won a super Bowl.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: They got to a Super Bowl with Jared Goff, who sucks. Also,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: So do I believe that McVeigh could coach up Kirk Cousins. Yes, absolute,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And so that's why I believe the scales are leaning
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: towards this because I have no confidence that the Rams
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: believe Stafford is going to be able to make it
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: through the season. I've been messaging some of the people
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: over there and they're like, well, they think he's gonna
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: come back, but they don't know if the.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Backs are going to hold up.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And it's this ticking time bomb situation that even if
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Stafford does return, does he get hurt in the first
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: series of the first game of the regular season and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: then they got their pants down?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: What are they gonna do? So Cousins is.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Insurance, right, He's like the way it's like wobbly, low level,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: crappy insurance, like crappy insurance.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: You don't buy that insurance.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Because it's good insurance because it's sexy. You buy it
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: because listen, the back is exposed and you don't want
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to be stuck it. It's like driving an O too
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Camray with a cracked engine.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It's that thing we talked about. It's like, we don't
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: want to be that. You want to be that person
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: doing that. And so that would be Jimmy G. Because
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the other concern the Rams said, well, Garoppolo, they can
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: win with Garoppolo. But Garoppolo is also made out of
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: cookie dough. All right, He's a delicious cookie dough, but
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it's cookie dough. And so you got Stafford, oh my
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: aching back. And then you got Jimmy G, who if
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: he has a problem with one of his cuticles, he's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: got a miss two games, so Stafford blessed him. This
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: battered spine is one big, bad wolf sneeze at Chew
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: away from blowing the Ram house down and going on
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a nice long sabbatical. So you do have to have
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a plan B that does not involve Jimmy Garoppo, you know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: because Garoppolo will also be throwing hospital balls at some
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: point as well. The other part of this is you
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: have the family ties, and if you go in the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: hot tub time machine way back, Cousins and McVeigh are
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: like high school sweethearts who still text each other on birthdays.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like McVeigh if you believe the legend.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And I don't know how much of this is true
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and how much of this is bull crap, but the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: legend is that McVeigh taught Cousins how to read defenses,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and I taught him how to tie his cleats into
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: chew bubblegum at the same time with the old Washington Redskins,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: because they were together, McVeigh was the upstart coach. And
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: at that time, remember the Redskins had RG three, who's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: just like an annoying guy on social media now, but
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: RG three, and then they also drafted that same year Cousins.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Cousin was the backup and then McVeigh worked with Cousins.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And so it's always been not what you know, it's
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: not what you know, but it's who you know, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it's the relationships and everyone's involved with everyone else.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: And the rams.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Also you've got Raheem Morris, who's an old disciple of.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: McVeigh, the head coach of the Falcons.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: There's also some other coaches, some other executives in Atlanta
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: that have ties to the Rams, and so it makes sense.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And the Falcons would love to get rid of Cousins
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: because you don't want to have the highest payton backup
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: You don't want that, you don't.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: And so Cousins knows the McVeigh playbook, and you know
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: he knows them. I guess the McVeigh tree, and it's
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: like a squirrel knows branches.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: McVeigh and Cousins know each other. So it makes them
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Now, furthermore, we go to Chicago and a story that
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Yaphemi is not going to like. And Eugene in Chicago,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the NFL team in the Windy City looking to leave
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Soldier Field. Now that that's not new, that's not new. The
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: plan has been well, originally they were going to go
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: to these suburbs. Then they were going to build a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: new stadium downtown. Now to talk in Chicago, based on
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground is they're going to go back
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to the Arlington Heights, which is an old racetrack site,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and that's where they're going to build the new Bears
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: stadium out in the suburbs.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Where most of the season ticket holders live.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: However, there is a third in the punch Bowl. Third
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: in the punch Bowl turns out, based on media reports
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: that the Bears would like to get their hands on
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a bunch of taxpayer money from the taxpayers in the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: state of Illinois. Well, the governor of the aliginied state
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: has indicated, at least publicly, that he will not will
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: not be forking over a bunch of public money to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: help facilitate the Bears getting their new stadium, whether it's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: in downtown or whether it ends up in the suburbs, and.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Either way in Illinois.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: So that has led to some whispers that the Bears
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: could go to what's being called the nuclear option and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: say bye bye, I know, g manches upset, bye bye
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to Illinois altogether and go where Where would they go?
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Would they go to Iowa? No? Would they go to Wisconsin? No?
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Would they go to Missouri? No? How about the Hoosier State?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Who's your daddy? Wait a minute, they already have the Colts.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: That's not a big enough state for two teams population wise. Well,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: if you've been to Chicago or you've traveled through that
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: part of the country. You know, there is a scenario
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: where the Bears could absolutely move to Gary, Indiana. There
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: are some lawmakers in Indiana that are preparing legislation to
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: give them the bag. What's in the bank, handout, handout money, money,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Mady money, money, Madi. All right, So question the Bears again.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Just to set this up again.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: The Bears are said to be considering in a political
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: bruhaha with the governor of Illinois.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: They're considering the nuclear option.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: If they don't get the tax breaks they want, they
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: would go to Indiana.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not. Believe it or not.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So I am a believer. I am Benny the believer
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: on this one. Benny the believer.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Here's why.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: All right, So this is the NFL. We're talking NFL.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: We're not talking about.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: A church bakesale. We're not right. And I know a
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: lot of.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: The fans, you know, and I used to be this
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: way before I became a jaded talk shows people are sentimental, right,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and some people think the teams are sentimental.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Spider Alert, The teams are not sentimental. They are.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Sharks. They're sharks that haven't eaten. They're sharks that wear
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: expensive suits and they circle the public purse. They want
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that purse, and it's like chum in the water, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you think the Bears are some kind of civic institution.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I get this from people from time to time. We
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: talk about these stories. It happens every couple of years.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: The team threatens to leave, and there is a percentage
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: of fans that think this is like the fire department
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: or the Chicago fire department. Can't leave Chicago, but they
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: think it's like a library. Well, no, you can't have
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the library. It's our library, pollyse Paulice. That's the bedtime
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: story that the professional sports world, the industrial complex of
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: professional sports likes to. He'll tell you while they are
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: pickpocketing you and taking all your money, they've got your
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: wallet right now.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Ha ha.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Joke's on you, ha ha. And the franchise is listen.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just whether you like it or not, that's the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: way it is. They are not built on loyalty.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Now. They want you to be loyal as a fan.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: They want you to be loyal and they use a
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: lot of weasel terminology, but they're just built on leverage.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: It's always about the leverage.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: The most famous example, and our colleague Steve Hartman, who
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: works here on the weekends, used to work for Al Davis.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And Steve Hartman. I've known Steve, you know, I was
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: an intern. He was working in San Diego, you know,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the loose cannons back in the day. And Hartman's great,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: but he always tells the story about how Al Davis
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: got a call. He got a call from this little
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: town in southern California called Irwindale, and because Al wanted
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a stadium in LA and so this like the mayor,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I think it was the mayor the city council said here,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: we want you to come to Erwindale with got this
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: big giant hole near the two ten freeway.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: We want to put a stadium there, the Raiders Stadium.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: We'll build it right here. And Al was like, I
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: don't want to go to Irwindale.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: And then the mayor the politicians like, we'll pay ten
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: million dollars for a news commerce.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: So a'l put on a nineteen eighties.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Because it was the nineteen eighties, or maybe it was
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the nineties. I think it was late eighties, but I'll
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: put on a jacket a starter Raiders jacket that said
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Irwindale on it had the Raiders' logo, went out there,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: got paid like the five to ten million dollars was it,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and they that's it. They took the money, taxpayers money.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: That's an example, right, they're not hugging the community whatever
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: this is Bears we're talking about. They're holding it hostage
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and the team, I get it. They want the Monopoly
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: community chest in this case, the Bears. They want the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Monopoly community chest, not the community chest thumping pride.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: They don't. They want to land on collect two hundred
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: every single time, every single time.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: They want that two uter bucks money, money, money, every
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: time they roll the dice. It's the Monopoly community chest.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: You know, stadium deal, tax breaks, infrastructure upgrades. It's not
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: really a negotiation. It's extortion.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: But they smile, they smile and they say we're gonna
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: win Super Bowls.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: So, Gary, Indiana, I don't know if you ever been
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to Gary, Indiana.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: That is a town.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: They say it's gritty, which is another way of saying
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: it's on the wrong side of the track.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: So it's got more potholes than promise. At this point.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Now I heard it's gotten a little bit better. Recently,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of people.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: According to some of my relatives who live in Chicago,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: they're like, well, you know, people are moving there because
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: it's cheaper, and so they're getting some of that. You know,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: everyone's trying to get away from the ridiculousness of paying
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: tons of money, where you can go somewhere just a
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: few miles away and pay less and you get to
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: live your life and have more money and stuff.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: So and that's the thing, Gary Inianna.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: If you know the geography of Chicago, it's close enough
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: where you can smell that great deep dish pizza, right,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: you can smell that, You can smell the Italian sandwich
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: is there. It's far enough away, though, to avoid the
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: politicians of Illinois and all the red tape.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: It's like the NFL's version of sleeping on the couch
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: to make a point.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Like the Bears in Indiana, they would still call themselves
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: How could they do that? Well, I don't know.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: The Giants and Jets play in New Jersey and they're
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: not called the New Jersey Jets or the New Jersey Giants.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Or anything like that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: It's not sacrilegi it's strategy. Now nuclear option. You say
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: it's a nuclear option. But in the NFL, the.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Nuke is not the last resort. It's just a bargaining chip.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: That's all it is, all right, Now, last thing to
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the music city we go? Where rookie quarterback at number
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: one overall pick. That's right, cam Ward, Tennessee Titans has
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: not played a real down of NFL football, not played
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a real down of NFL football. And he's already walking
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: to the podium and telling us, I think, honestly, I
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: have a top five.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Receiving core in the NFL. That's a quote. So where
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: do you fall Which side of the aisle do you
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: fall on? On?
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Cam Ward hyping up the Tennessee Titans pass catchers. So
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I jotted down on my scorecard, I jotted down embellishment
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and in the side of the aisle I'm on is
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: hyperbole capital H hyperbole, capitol H hyperble. Cam Ward sounds like,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you know, I think he's he's gonna be a great quote.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I hope he's okay. I don't think he's gonna be
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: very good. I hope he is good because I know
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Danny and Nashville, who lives in Miami now is a
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: big Titans fan. Guys like that and and some of
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the other guys we've had called the show over the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: years from Tennessee. And I hope he's God. I think
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: he's gonna suck. He sounds like Flavor Flav with a
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: playbook here. I mean, what are you doing?
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Life comes at you fast in the NFL.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And I can't wait till about week four when Van
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Jefferson is, you know, doing wind sprints without.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Catching anything, doing a cardio game, and.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: You got cam word out there realizing that he's actually
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: polishing turds, trying to pass it off as polishing the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Lombardi Trophy. And you look at the weapons if you do,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: and this is not a list for Terry and England,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: but it's a big board. If you look at the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: current depth chart of the Tennessee Times, why don't we
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: do that? What do you say?
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Shall we? Okay?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: So Van Jefferson three letters, M, I D MID. That's
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: what the kids say.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Mid.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: It's like a YELP. My wife loves YELP. I think
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Yelp's you know, I'm a little skeptical. It's like a
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: three star Yelp review. It's okay, Tyler Lockett, good player name,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: we've heard of prime years Seattle Seahawks. Tyler Lockett now,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: as Alf would say, Tyler Lockett's like cottage cheese in
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the back of your fridge with a sell by date
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: from last summer. And then and you got Calvin Ridley,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: very talented player, very talented ball player, Calvin Ridley, absolutely,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and he's got so much baggage that the amount of
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: fees he's got to pace like it's like baggage at
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: JFK Airport at Christmas or Lax.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Or Logan or any big or hair any of the
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: big airport. So it's it's like saying, hey, what cam
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Ward's doing is like saying, hey, my garage band is
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: top five because, uh, the drummer of my garage band
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: once met Dave Grohl at an Arby's and we had
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: some roast beef together, and it's like, Okay, that's that's
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: a great it's a great tale. It's a shaggy dog story.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: And you're still playing in the basement of your parents' home,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: so you're you're you're doing great there. It's a classic
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: NFL training camp stuff. Everyone's undefeated, right, every every unit's
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: gonna be elite. I really like the offseason we've had.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, these guys are so talented, they're gonna
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: be breakouts stars, right, every player is ready to shock
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the world, and then we get.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: To about week two, it's like, holy crap, they suck.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, cam Ward's out there, He's like an infomercial Pitchman,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Set it and forget it, the Great Ron Poppi arrest
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: in peace.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Ron, Set it and forget it. And that's what he's doing, right.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: He's pitching his wide receivers and there if everything goes right,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: they're middle class, right, and they're only middle class if.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Like six or seven NFL teams go.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Bankrupt their middle class, I'm telling you, by week eight
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: of the NFL season, cam Ward's gonna be up there
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: saying we just got to keep working, we're gonna get better,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: We're close, We're close, right, and be throwing checkdowns because
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, at Tyler Lockett's age, he'll get hurt,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: so he'll be out. Van Jefferson has never been all
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: that good, so why would he be good now? And
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley will be distracted because he's gonna be worried
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: about his fourteen parlay and he wants to if he's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: gonna win that, and he's he'll be looking at the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: out of town scoreboard. It is the Ben Mallor Show.

  Speaker 6: finish the nine nine to nine challenge? It is apparently
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: nine dogs, nine beers, nine innings.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the hot dog thing I don't believe would
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: be a problem now it might be, but back in
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I it's harder now.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I think that's harder now because baseball games are quicker
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: back in the old, back in the old days, Red
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Sox game be five hours, Dodger game will be four hours.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Now, you've got about two and a half hours.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: So could you eat nine hot dogs and drink nine
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: beers into Yeah, it's close.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: I think I could do it, Lorena, Absolutely, I could.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: I eat so much food it's ridiculous.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: That is true, And you don't get any weight, which
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: really annoys me.
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: What about you, Kooperloo, there's a zero chance the rain
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: I could do that.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: And she'd take one bite of every hot right exactly
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: what counts.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: I would not be able to do it. I could
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: do the nine dogs, but nine beers I would not
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: be able to years.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: And two and a half hours, you'd be laying on
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: the ground. What's you know what?
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Lee?
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Lee calls that a Tuesday.
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: I guess, I guess this one's just for Lorena. It
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: is from a GABS and they say, why did Loraina
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: join a sports show if she doesn't know anything about sports?
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: Why not a music radio station. Well, it's funny they
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: hire board ops wherever.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Because technically they don't all talk on the air. But
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: I like sports. I'm getting better, but I do prefer
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: music radio to be honest.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, body blow, body blow body celebrities.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: But you know what I think, athletes celebrities.
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: I'm finding a nice niche between celebrities and sports with
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: their dating. So it's it's kind of a nice little window.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: And yes, LORAINI just to noow, she's not happy? All right,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: what's next? Where are we have here? What I said,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: that's what it sounded like to me.
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: I don't know, Alf the alien opiner. This one is
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: just for you, Ben, He says, do you know what
• 38:00

  Speaker 1: I visited the Gettysburg site and they had it was
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: pretty cool and there were some people doing that.
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think the one he's referring to is

• 38:33
  Speaker 6: you're a wizard or a Star Wars guy. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: but no that's not but they're all live action role

• 38:44
  Speaker 2: to dress like a furry, it just don't bother me,
