  Speaker 1: but Eddie Garcia in studio later this hour our friend
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: member the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association. But here at
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the beginning, what do you read into JJ McCarthy not
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: being told he's the Vikings QB one in twenty twenty five?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: And how would you classify Trey Hendrickson's status in Cincinnati?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Plus do you have a word for more than one
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: thousand d one men's basketball players who have entered the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: transfer portal? We'll talk about all of those stories and
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: more right now, give it up for our number two.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: The job is not yours yet, not your, not yours. No,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you don't have the keys to it. Welcome in the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather Show. We
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: are in the air everywhere like workmates, as we float
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: away on the audio waves, coast to coast, border to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: border and beyond on the mast and voice verusly powerful
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: microphones of fs are am monating live from the Splish
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the Splish splash as the time goes away. We're broadcasting
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: live from the tyraq dot com studios tyraq dot com.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: tyraq dot com. The way tirebink should be a no
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: og Art puffin, big fan of the number ten thousand
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: big fan. So I can't confirm the hot tuptime machine
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: has a right and we'll be here coming up in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit. But our lead this hour is from
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the Twin Cities. That's right, from the Twin Cities.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Was there a big move? No, there was not. But
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: as the dust settles settles down in the quarterback shuffle
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: comes to a halt. We mentioned in a previous hour
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that mister unlimited Russell Wilson has found a new home.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: He's heading to the New York Football Giants that play
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: across the Hudson there in New Jersey, And so you
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: can eliminate him from the board. And by the process
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of elimination, that means more likely than not that Aaron
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Rogers is taking his talents to the Land of the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: insur or to Malibu if they get an expansion franchise.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: So the Vikings have decided to avoid Temptation Island. It
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: would appear that they have decided they're not going to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: add a veteran quarterback, at least not right now. And
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that means what well. JJ McCarthy chimed in on his situation,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: if you will, in the landscape in Minnesota and what's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: going on. So if you didn't hear what he had
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to say, perhaps not. JJ McCarthy saying that the Vikings
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: have not have not informed him that he will be
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the team starting quarterback in twenty twenty five. McCarthy telling
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: podcast this Week that the Minnesota coaching staff have not
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: officially named him the top quarterback there, and so he's like,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just you know, going shown up. And of course
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: he said this from some golf course in Mexico for
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: some reason why he was there. I'm sure there was
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: something he was promoting. JJ McCarthy. So yeah, So the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Vikings say they're not pursuing Aaron Rodgers at this time,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and yet they have not named McCarthy. At the top
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of the depth chart, so let us discuss the question,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: what do you read in to JJ McCarthy not not
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: being told that he is QB number one number of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the vikings in twenty twenty five. So I've got dressing
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the Wheel and doctor Evil, and we will combine all
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a juicy lucy. That's the local culinary delight there in Minnesota.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: The juicy losey cheeseburger with the cheese on the inside.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: That's the way to do it, all right. So we'll
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: put all these things together. We'll make some magic now.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Number number one, that's right, number one. So in terms
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of McCarthy not getting the top designation on the Minnesota
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: depth chart, so I give this whole thing side I.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: That's my first thought here. You don't get caught up
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: in the semantics, right, don't get caught up in the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: semantics and all that stuff. It's all being telegraphed. It's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: all being telegraphed there in Minnesota. You say, we're not
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: interested in Aaron Rodgers, and Russell Wilson signs justin fields.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: All the other quarterbacks are off the board other than
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Joe Flacco and guys like that. But the big names
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: are off the board. So you look around and you say,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: all right, what's going on here? Quarterback carousels slowing down, down, down, down,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: down down down, and what do you got? What do
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you got? Well, the only other option would be reacquiring
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins from the Atlanta football team. Good luck on that. Yeah,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: that's unlikely. And so McCarthy, you know, he says he
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: does not. He has not been formally named. The verbiage
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: formally named QB one there. That is dressing, is what
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it is. It is not salad dressing, No, not thousand
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: isles or the Devil's Blood ranch dressing. No, no, no,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: it's window dressing. That is what it is. Coming off
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: knee surgery in the exhibition season that cost him his
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: entire rookie season, his entire rookie campaign, McCarthy was snap
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: crackle pop. He was out. McCarthy would would have to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: publicly defecate on the Viking logo at the fifty yard
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: line and then go to each end zone and urinate
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: in the end zones in order for him to not
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to not end up as the starting quarterback when the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: season begins. And do you really need to formally name
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a starting quarterback at this particular point. The other quarterback
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the Vikings have on their roster is Brett Rippon. If
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Brent Rippin is on your roster, things are not going well.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I think you have a terrible blind spot on your
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: football team. You just do and unless the Vikings pull
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a horseshoe out of their badonka donc and do the unthinkable,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the unimaginable and pull off some kind of trade for
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, which had been mentioned in some clickbait stories
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: last week from people desperate for attention that run logs
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota. So outside of that, don't hold your breath.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And so you're like, all right, at this particular point,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, not Mike McCarthy, JJ McCarthy, JJ McCarthy is
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: going to be the starting quarterback and outside of another
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: snap crackle, Pop is going to put up at least
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: above average umber. Sam Darnold went out and put up
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: pretty good regular season numbers because of the quarterback friendly
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: offense of Kevin O'Connell. You've got Justin Jefferson and Jordan
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Addison in a decent tight end. Is still a little
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: bit left in the tank for TJ Hockinson. So you're
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: in decent shape now page two. Test. Since he said
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and Natty we Go and the ben Gals, the Bengals
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: have decided that no moss on the trade. The trade
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: talks involving all pro defensive star Trey Hendrickson have come
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to an end. Does this mean that a new contract
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: is about to be announced? Not so fast, my friend, No,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that is not the case. Hendrickson was given permission to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: shop his warars at the flea market of the NFL
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to go around and find a deal. And how's that
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: working out?
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: According to Jordan Schultz, the guy that loves a good Starbucks,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Donning Brook, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports telling us the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: trade is DA at this point, dead on arrival, as
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the Bengals are no longer no longer considering a Trey
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Hendrickson trade. Instead, they want to pay him. They would
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: like them him. So how do you classify the latest
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: reporting on the status of Trey Hendrickson in Cincinnati? So
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it is a wheel, right, this is the wheel I
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: classified as the wheel of fortune, meaning that Trey Hendrickson's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: going to win a big pile of money on the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: wheel of fortune. Now, whether that's in Cincinnati or not.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I'm still not buying that. There's no chance of trade
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: happens these things. There's up and down, there's the EBB
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and the flow of this. And so right now, as
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: of a few hours ago, Trey Hendrickson was off the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the trade market. But he's going to get paid either way.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: And so it's an if he proposition still whether the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Bengals actually pony up the money because they gave all
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: their wide receivers and their quarterback money, and so the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: defense sucked with Trey Hendrickson. The defense can suck without
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson. No contract, to my knowledge, has been signed.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: So as long as a contract has not been signed,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the t's crossed and the the eyes dotted. As long
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: as that hasn't happened, right then there's still some skin
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: in the game. There's still some opportunity here. And if
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you look at the future, it's like a nautical chart here,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: it's like a nautical chart. With Trey Henderson, go any direction,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: whichever direction the tide takes you. I can go out
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to see maybe a big wild wave will come up
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and all that. But the Bengals, it's been about three
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: weeks In fact, I think it's almost been exactly three
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: weeks since the Bengals said, go out and find a trade.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So Trey Henderson, from what we're being told, he went
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: out and found multiple teams that were willing to trade
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: him and pay him. Multiple teams, all right, we'll give
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you the money we got you. We're good, we'll pay you.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: All right, So he went out and found teams that
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: would like to trade him and pay him, and the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Bengals hung up. They said, ah, we're good, we don't
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: want to do it, and they worked out the financials
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and all that. There were some issues about the trade compensation.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: There's some questquestions about that, but Cincinnati claims they never
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: received a fair market offer, although there's other people debating
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: whether that's true or not. All right, now, final point,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: we go to college basketball. That's right, college basketball now.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: It's all dead right now until Thursday. So we have
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to get through the rest of Wednesday, and then it's
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: on again Thursday night, the Sweet sixteen, and that'll be
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: taking place Thursday, and then again on Friday, and then
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: by the end of the weekend will be down to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the final four. The thinning of the herd, The road
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to the Alamo, the road to San Antonio for the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Final Four. But the story in college basketball involving the portal.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: And here's the question, do you have a word or
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: words for more than one thousand, more than one thousand,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: d one men's basketball players that have already entered the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: transfer a portal. This thing just opened up on Monday
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and we're already over a thousand players that have entered
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the portal. So I've got well, I've got a couple
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: of words. My words are opportunistic mercenaries. That is what
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: they do. And I get it. I listen, I would
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: do the same thing. I did a show this week
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: with a guy that was a big star back in
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the eighties, Rodney Pete, college star, and I was I
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: would say, hey, Rodney, you know, you would probably make
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a ton of money changing schools and all that. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: he then pointed out he was a big star at
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: USC back in the day, and he's like, I would
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: have gotten the bag at USC. I would not have
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: needed to go from school to school. The school. But
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you look around and you talk about soldiers of fortune
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and it's like Doctor Evil from Austin Powers And the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: best part of the transfer portal. The very best part
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: is that no one can stop the players from relocating.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Can't do it. It's all about chasing the bag, is
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: what it is. The relentless pursuit of wealth and prosperity
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: is what it is. If you do some Malor math,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: you do the Malord math on this. There are three
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five NC DOUBLEA Division one schools. My
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: math is correct, it's right around there, so in three
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: sixty three sixty five, I think it's three sixty five
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: all the way from the team that won the championship
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to our friend Gottlieb's Green Bay team, so they're all
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: over the map. And each team, as I understand, it
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: has fifteen scholarships available. So you do the math on that.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: That means there are a maximum of scholarship athletes five
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy five. Are you staying with me,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: There'll be a ven diagram on this. So five hundred,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy five total available scholarships D one
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: men's basketball. So if you take away the players that
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: are no longer eligible meeting, they've graduated and they can't
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: continue to play or they have no eligibility to laugh
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: That means, if my malor math is correct, that two
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: out of every ten college basketball players have requested to
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: go to a different school twenty percent. And it's only
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: been a day now. A lot of these deals are
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: done way in advance. These guys are out shopping their
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: wares in the transfer portal, even before the transfer portal
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: opens up, and they've got a little side hustle, little deal,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: a little shuffle, and they find new teams. It is
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the isn't that crazy? Twenty percent? It is the Ben
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Mahler Show. If you'd like to be part, you can
• 14:41

  Speaker 2: and I guess I still do. But yeah, it was great.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: It was like working.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, she has a point if you look at it, like,
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: because I used to listen to sports talk radio all
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: the time, and.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: Now you how often do you listen?
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: Now?

  Speaker 3: Kup?
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Never? Well I don't listen to But I don't want
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: to say I don't listen either, because I don't want
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: to take stuff from you know, somebody else. So I
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: don't listen to sports talgra. That's just that's different though
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: for me, I don't. I'm not consuming it or whatever
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: So well, I think it's because, you know, working on
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: the show. I mean, you're all the shows. The news
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: is the same. You know what I mean, it's.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: It's oh no, it's not. We're different. No, no, well
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: there was a show. Well different, we have different takes
• 25:53

• 27:33
  Speaker 6: We're gonna kick their in the Dodgers' faces this year.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: That I'll tell you. I'll bet you ten grand right
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: now about ten thousand nothing.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: I would rather bet that they're gonna lose their next game.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Don't bet bet anything. He still doesn't pay off.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: At this point. It would be disappointing if he did. Right.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: No, I pay off my bet.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: I ate the ball I heard from Eddie.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I think I don't believe that.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: I've literally never seen you like properly pay off.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: There was one time I wore a paper bag in
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: my head one time for a show because the Clippers
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: lost to the Cavaliers.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you kind of just did that because
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: of you know.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: No. No, the cave is after Lebron went to Miami
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: and the Calves. They were one loss away from sitting
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the North American record for most consecutive losses and they
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: beat the Clippers, and I was so embarrassed. I said,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: if they lose that game, I would have put a
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: paper back.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: It was one time he bought pizza one time.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I remember I did I bought pizza. Remember I remember
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: when I walked to Arizona because of the Arizona Wildcast
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: lost to Illinois and the n CUAA tournament.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: That was a long time ago. And you did not
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I did. I told management. I took two steps towards
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Arizona and la like they give a well Andrew Ashwood, No,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: he did. He said, Ben, you're gonna die. And I
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: thought it would have been great publicity. And then you're like,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: well no, I said, I said it would be good.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: And then we did the math on how long it
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: would have taken me to walk to Arizona, and it
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: would have taken about four months. And they said, we
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: don't think we could do that. For I could probably
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: walk there in four now now now, back then, no,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: you would have. You would have died. You probably would
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: have died. Actually, yeah, what depends what time of the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: year it was. That's where Sean lives in serious Seawan
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: and Arizona. You like to heat their showing you're a
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: big fan of the heat.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I've gotten it doesn't really get to me now.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: It's like it's it's only here for like three months
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: and then that's it.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: It's only one hundred and thirty degrees for three months.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: What's the big deal, right, just turn the AC on.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: You're good to go on that.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was. It's also monsoon time too, because you
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: know we got the rain.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, monsoon.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: That's our rainy season in late June the early September.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Any traveling any have you been able to do any traveling?
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: And you're locked in with hockey, so you can't go anywhere.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Your same same issues. You're not a big traveler, though.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: You you go, like for a football season.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: You go somewhere. Yeah, we'll go somewhere. We're going to
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame again.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, speaking of how now I'm trying to get
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: to Ohio for a mallor meet and greet, and I
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: don't want to be offended. I don't want to offend anyone. However,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't say. But however, So there's a listener who's
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: a big, big fan of the show who runs this
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: restaurant bar in Ohio. Right, He's like, where in Ohio? Well,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: here's the thing, all right, this is the problem. So
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: he's been he's been contact me. He's very kind of
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: loves the show. He listens to the podcast they do
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: on the weekends. He's a big fan, and he's like, hey,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I want you to come to my establishment. And I
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: was like okay. And so then I did a little
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: research over the last couple of days trying to figure
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: out travel arrangements to get because I got to pay
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: out of pocket. The company doesn't pay for this stuff.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I pay out of my pocket. So I was going
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to go, and then it's in Columbus, Ohio.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: There is strong with that.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: There's no direct flights to Columbus, Ohio. It's an all.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: It's like an eight hour minimum situation, which means like
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a three hour layover. That's minimum, and most of it
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: is like twelve hours thirteen fourth.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: You went to South Carolina, I'm sure there was no
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: direct flight for wherever it was he went there.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: It wasn't actually that because you drove. We drove, we flew,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: flew to Atlanta, and then it took a little puddle
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: jumper to Myrtle Beach and then drove from Myrtle Beach
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: and wasn't that back. But this would be like a
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: whole thing. So I'm thinking maybe I should do like Cincinnati.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Well you don't give me the evilaiyah. I think Cincinnati
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: or Cleveland because there's more flights to those places.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll fly into Cleveland and drive down there.
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: And you've checked every airline then for no direct flights, and.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: You no, there's no direct flights to Columbus from l A.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I know that. I don't think there's direct flights to
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Cleveland either. I think Cincinnati.
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: Unfortunately the lines that runs.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: He's taking every train line. Have you taken just about
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: every train line at amshrak has at this point.
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: I've taken the Northern Empire Builder and Capitol Limited routes
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: right the Empire Builder.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Have you taken the one from like up the I
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: ninety five corridor, from like Boston down the East coast?
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Have you done that one? I've taken the ESLA for
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: that's the one from like Boston to d C or whatever.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: And yeah, I took it from DC to New York
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: and then I took a commuter to the EWR.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: We should get Sean like a train podcast asked, Yeah,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: do you have miniature trains?
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Do you have like a train set at home? Do
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: you have those trains?
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: You know what some my uncle's friend of the my
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: uncle's friend of the family. Yeah, he gave me one
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: that he made and I put it right right, uh
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: right right from you mess it up or something like that,
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: you screwed it up. No, I didn't, it didn't. It's
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: up there all by itself and I haven't touched it
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: since I put it there.
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: Wait, so do you only you only know the Amtrak routes?
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: Well, I know there several commuter routes like Metrolink and
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: New Jersey Transit and Sound Transit and all that.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: You have to travel all the countries, Like don't they
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: have a train that goes by through Siberia and Russia?
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Isn't there like a Russian train that goes all the
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: way through Siberia. You can take that and go to China.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they got a train in China. You can
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: go all of them, you know.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: I think the biggest ones they have are the ones
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: that go out of King's Cross in the UK. I
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: think that's one of the biggest.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: King's Cross and that's where Harry Potter goes to get
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: to Hogwarts.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how about Japanese bullet trains out of Oh yeah.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: My dad did that was I think in Germany they
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: have some of those to those bullet lines.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Or no, Japanese know it for the bullet train though
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: know for that.
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: Right about China. I think China has someone too.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, the China has the train that goes through the building.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I saw a video and yeah, I did see that.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: The Lorraina saw the baseball game in China.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: She was telling.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: The bullet trains in China. In Japan, the Shinknsin, they
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: go so fast. When we were on when my wife
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: and I were on our honeymoon, we got on the
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Shinkansin going the wrong direction, and the problem we just
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: like took a nap ate. I didn't realize for two
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: hours we were on the other side of Japan.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: But only take your ticket and say hey, you're on
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the wrong train. Then nobody took the ticket. They just
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: said they just let you go.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: And because you get you like you know, the you
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: scan the ticket to get into the I don't know
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: what the platform, and then you just you're supposed to
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: get on the train going the correct direction.
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: So it's like Bart, I guess in a way.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, very similar to Bart. Yes, yes, the trains in
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Japan and Bart, Yes, a few less vagrants in Japan.
• 34:12

• 34:17
  Speaker 6: again to go out.
