0:00
Speaker 1: Here we go.
0:02
Speaker 2: It's our number fall, our number four, and it's all
0:07
Speaker 2: about a phony phone call. An entire Malard monologue about
0:10
Speaker 2: a phony phone call, most of it anyway. What is
0:13
Speaker 2: the word for the NFL's punishment of defensive coordinator Jeff
0:18
Speaker 2: Ulbrick and the Falcons over the phony phone call? The shoulder? Sanders? Also,
0:23
Speaker 2: how should the NFL have handled the punishment for the
0:27
Speaker 2: phony phone call that everyone saw over the draft weekend?
0:31
Speaker 1: And away from that story in Atlanta, what's your.
0:35
Speaker 2: Viewpoint on a former NFL wide receiver who killed the woman,
0:40
Speaker 2: Henry Ruggs, getting another chance to play in the NFL
0:44
Speaker 2: reports he's working out in prison, there's nothing else to do,
0:47
Speaker 2: getting ready for a possible NFL return. I've got some
0:52
Speaker 2: opinions on that I'll share with you. We'll get to
0:54
Speaker 2: it right now. And also ask ban here in our
0:58
Speaker 2: number three, no joking aloud? There is no joking aloud
1:06
Speaker 2: at all. Well, come, in the beginning of another hour
1:12
Speaker 2: of the Ben Malor Show.
1:14
Speaker 3: We are in the air everywhere, traveling at the speed
1:21
Speaker 3: of light as we hang out.
1:24
Speaker 2: Together, just standing there like a house by the side
1:29
Speaker 2: of the road, watching it all go by. As the
1:32
Speaker 2: great Ernie Harwell said, back in his day, coast to coast,
1:36
Speaker 2: border the border and beyond, on the vast and majestically
1:41
Speaker 2: powerful microphones of FSR, we're emanating live from the zombie
1:46
Speaker 2: Now keep it right. If the zombie apocalypse happens, it's
1:48
Speaker 2: gonna happen in the middle of the night, and we'll
1:50
Speaker 2: be the first ones to report it. From the Fox
1:52
Speaker 2: Sports Radio studios. That is approved by Cliff the Weatherman.
1:57
Speaker 2: She got an email from Cliff the Weatherman. Now, if
2:01
Speaker 2: you've been with this show over the years, many many
2:04
Speaker 2: years ago, this guy, Cliff used to call the show randomly.
2:07
Speaker 2: He was like the Marcel of his day, lived in
2:09
Speaker 2: northern Arizona, those beautiful night skies in northern Arizona, and
2:15
Speaker 2: he would call up and he really didn't have any
2:16
Speaker 2: of this says from New York. Originally didn't have anything
2:18
Speaker 2: to say. But he would give the weather and he'd
2:21
Speaker 2: sit in his car because his wife was sleeping, so
2:24
Speaker 2: he'd sit in his card and give the weather update
2:26
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night. And I hadn't heard
2:28
Speaker 2: from Cliff in a long time. He's obviously much older now,
2:30
Speaker 2: but he's still alive and well. And he says he
2:32
Speaker 2: still listens to the show. So it was great to
2:34
Speaker 2: hear from Cliff the Weatherman. A blast from the past,
2:40
Speaker 2: I would say so, definitely a blast from the past.
2:44
Speaker 2: This portion of the Ben Malor Show, the show that
2:48
Speaker 2: you listen to right now, made possible by tier Rack.
2:50
Speaker 2: For over forty years, ty i Raq has been helping
2:53
Speaker 2: customers find the right tires for how, what and where
2:55
Speaker 2: they drive. Ship fast and free back by free road
2:58
Speaker 2: hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation
3:05
Speaker 2: that's approved by Fergdog tire rack dot com. The Way
3:09
Speaker 2: tire buying show'd be so our lead this hour is
3:14
Speaker 2: from football, not basketball. Football.
3:20
Speaker 1: We're gonna start out in Atlanta.
3:23
Speaker 2: Punishment has been dolled out for the phony phone call
3:28
Speaker 2: of the year in the football world.
3:30
Speaker 1: If you have not heard, perhaps not, we now know
3:36
Speaker 1: the punishment.
3:37
Speaker 2: We have learned that the National Football League has fined
3:42
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, a
3:46
Speaker 2: football team worth billions and billions and billions at billions
3:49
Speaker 2: at billions and gazellions two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Defensive
3:54
Speaker 2: coordinator Jeff Olbrich has been fined separately one hundred thousand
3:59
Speaker 2: dollars for the Shooter Sanders NFL draft prank committed by
4:05
Speaker 2: Ulbrich's son Jacks as he pulled it off. Now, Jacks
4:10
Speaker 2: and his preppy school friend recorded themselves calling Shooter Sanders.
4:16
Speaker 2: If you're on social media, chances you probably saw it
4:18
Speaker 2: over the weekend. They claimed to be The friend claimed
4:21
Speaker 2: to be Saint Mickey Loomis, telling the former Colorado quarterback
4:27
Speaker 2: that Hey, we're gonna draft you, and then it was like, well, psych,
4:33
Speaker 2: we'll not quite yet. And Sanders was on a live
4:37
Speaker 2: stream at the time. The call went viral and it
4:40
Speaker 2: added another layer. There was another layer of embarrassment as
4:46
Speaker 2: he was free falling, supposed to be drafted as high
4:50
Speaker 2: as number three and ended up a fifth round pick pick.
4:54
Speaker 1: Number one forty four, pick number one forty four.
4:58
Speaker 2: Now, the video ultimately was posted by someone in the
5:03
Speaker 2: circle of friends with the kid Jack's and his buddy
5:08
Speaker 2: who made the phone call and then wanted everyone to
5:11
Speaker 2: see it. It's kind of like lighting a building on
5:14
Speaker 2: fire and then you know, making sure you record it
5:17
Speaker 2: so everyone sees that you did it. Now Jack's had
5:21
Speaker 2: pulled Sanders number off of an open epad. That's the
5:24
Speaker 2: story that we're getting. Whether it's true or not, who knows.
5:27
Speaker 2: He was visiting his parents' home. Now even more awkward.
5:32
Speaker 2: The defensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons, Jeff Ulbrich, on
5:35
Speaker 2: a random day in late April, held a news conference
5:41
Speaker 2: after being fined one hundred thousand dollars and he it
5:45
Speaker 2: was very bizarre. It seemed like it was stage. It
5:50
Speaker 2: was obviously stage, but it was like, well, I'm gonna
5:53
Speaker 2: tell you my fust but let's first play a couple
5:55
Speaker 2: of clips so you get a little taste of the flavor. Here,
5:58
Speaker 2: here's the defensive coordinator of your Atlanta Falcons, Robbie, the
6:02
Speaker 2: Falcon fans team.
6:04
Speaker 1: Jeff Olbrich, who apologize.
6:07
Speaker 2: He talked about the apology that was given to the
6:10
Speaker 2: Sanders family. Take a listen.
6:12
Speaker 4: So I've made the Falcons aware of the situation, and
6:15
Speaker 4: then our next course of action was to try to
6:18
Speaker 4: get a hold of the Sanders family. Still we could
6:20
Speaker 4: apologize in person, which we were able to do. The
6:23
Speaker 4: Sanders family, should Er and and Coach Sanders were amazingly gracious,
6:28
Speaker 4: more gracious than they needed to.
6:29
Speaker 2: Be in a moment like this, Yes, such a tragic moment.
6:34
Speaker 4: All right.
6:35
Speaker 1: Now here's more.
6:36
Speaker 2: Here's Olbrick who says that he's got to own the situation.
6:42
Speaker 2: Take a listen.
6:43
Speaker 4: It's difficult, but it's something that I brought upon myself
6:46
Speaker 4: and my son brought upon himself. So it's one of
6:49
Speaker 4: those things where we got to take this on the chin.
6:51
Speaker 4: And we absolutely are doing that and taking full of
6:53
Speaker 4: responsibility and I'm hopeful we'll grow and be better because
6:55
Speaker 4: of it.
6:56
Speaker 2: Yes, make sure to have a lot of static in
6:58
Speaker 2: that audio. Us discuss what is the word? What is
7:02
Speaker 2: the word for the NFL's punishment of defensive coredenator Jeff
7:07
Speaker 2: Olbrick one hundred thousand dollars five? What is the word
7:10
Speaker 2: for the NFL punishment of Jeff Olbrick one hundred thousand
7:13
Speaker 2: dollars fine? And the Falcons also being punished. So I've
7:16
Speaker 2: got Francis gia Delli and American made luxury appliances.
7:23
Speaker 1: And we will combine all.
7:25
Speaker 2: Of these things together and we are going to make
7:28
Speaker 2: some grits, is what we're going to make. And I
7:31
Speaker 2: know Tommy in Atlanta who listens every night, met him
7:34
Speaker 2: and a Malor meet and greet in Charleston a while back,
7:37
Speaker 2: and he's shaking and said yes as he drives his
7:40
Speaker 2: truck around Atlanta. So, first of all, like I'm going
7:44
Speaker 2: to get to my word in a second, the number
7:47
Speaker 2: of the permanently offended virtue signaling weasels out there in
7:55
Speaker 2: the wild is insane, absolutely insane. Like it's to the
8:01
Speaker 2: point now I see all these people posting things, Oh
8:04
Speaker 2: this is I'm so upset they didn't fire this guy.
8:07
Speaker 2: This is the worst thing. Oh my god, it's gotta
8:10
Speaker 2: be fake, right, it's it's some kind of psyop. It's
8:14
Speaker 2: strategic automated social media accounts that are influencing perception. And
8:21
Speaker 2: if there anyone is anyone listening, maybe it's you who
8:23
Speaker 2: have your.
8:24
Speaker 1: Panties in a bunch. My word is stripes.
8:27
Speaker 2: It's a classic movie, and there's a line in that
8:30
Speaker 2: movie called lighten up, Francis. That would be my advice.
8:34
Speaker 2: If there's anyone truly upset to the level of demanding
8:37
Speaker 2: someone lose their job over this, I would advise you
8:41
Speaker 2: to lighten up Francis. Okay, it was a prank. Are
8:46
Speaker 2: we that full of ourselves? Do we have sticks up
8:49
Speaker 2: our cabos? Do we have sticks up our cabos where
8:53
Speaker 2: we can no longer do a prank.
8:56
Speaker 1: It was rich kid pranking rich kid.
9:00
Speaker 2: No one got hurt, no one died, There was no
9:03
Speaker 2: crime that was committed. And listen, don't take life too seriously. Okay,
9:10
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you something right now. No one's getting
9:13
Speaker 2: out alive. We all know that at some point the endgame,
9:16
Speaker 2: we know how this is gonna end. So don't be
9:18
Speaker 2: too serious. Okay. This punishment unpopular opinion. I guess, well,
9:26
Speaker 2: at least with the bots, this punishment is excessive. Here's
9:30
Speaker 2: why jeff Oldbrick was if we're getting the proper story,
9:33
Speaker 2: he was unaware of the prank until after the fact.
9:37
Speaker 2: He then was in rage when he found out about
9:39
Speaker 2: it when he was informed of it. More importantly, the
9:42
Speaker 2: act was not committed by him. It was the twenty
9:45
Speaker 2: one year old son, who, last I checked, is in
9:48
Speaker 2: the range of being an adult, a grown up Jax
9:52
Speaker 2: the Sun. Okay, and by the way, not an NFL employee.
9:58
Speaker 2: Not an NFL employe. Thus you can't directly find the kid,
10:05
Speaker 2: but they actually did, because that's the inheritance. When the
10:09
Speaker 2: dad dies, you inherit the money and so that's less
10:12
Speaker 2: money the kid will inherit. But for all bricks, one
10:15
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty one thousand dollars fine. It's a big deal.
10:19
Speaker 2: It's obviously the NFL coordinators typically earn between anywhere from
10:23
Speaker 2: like one million to three million dollars a year. That's
10:27
Speaker 2: the going rate for a defensive or offensive coordinator.
10:31
Speaker 1: Meaning a what if my math is correct, you're one.
10:34
Speaker 2: Hundred thousand dollars fine using malormath is anywhere from three
10:38
Speaker 2: to ten percent of his annual income. That is a
10:43
Speaker 2: large penalty. There's a large penalty. Again, he was not
10:48
Speaker 2: the one pulling the prank off. This incident also did
10:52
Speaker 2: not affect the integrity of the NFL, which is a
10:57
Speaker 2: word they love to throw around. Now, sure, Ne're sand
11:00
Speaker 2: was eventually picked in the fifth round, and he jumped
11:04
Speaker 2: into a pool and all that, and he said the
11:07
Speaker 2: prank didn't bother him. Maybe he was lying, but he
11:10
Speaker 2: said that. Now, second, how should the NFL have handled
11:14
Speaker 2: the phony phone call punishment? So my advice, they did
11:20
Speaker 2: not take my advice, But my advice publicly would have
11:23
Speaker 2: been angry letter, angry letter, big word, angry letter, big word,
11:28
Speaker 2: angry letter. Privately, the NFL should be sending Jeff Olbrick
11:34
Speaker 2: and his kid a gift basket filled with Giro jelly chocolates.
11:38
Speaker 2: And here's why this event actually enhanced the biggest storyline
11:45
Speaker 2: of the NFL Draft.
11:47
Speaker 1: I let me make my case.
11:49
Speaker 2: It added an extra layer of drama, o rama around.
11:54
Speaker 1: Shader Sanders shoulder.
11:57
Speaker 2: Sanders is a pompous, arrogant young man, and maybe he
12:00
Speaker 2: has the right to be that way.
12:02
Speaker 1: But he is.
12:03
Speaker 2: Typically you don't feel bad for people who carry themselves
12:07
Speaker 2: that way. Yet there were there was a layer to
12:11
Speaker 2: this where he became a sympathetic figure. The viral video
12:15
Speaker 2: of the phony phone call had everyone talking and what
12:20
Speaker 2: did that translate to for the NFL. The twenty twenty
12:24
Speaker 2: five NFL Draft saw massive boose in television audience, largely
12:32
Speaker 2: attributed because of Shadar Sanders and the fact that he
12:36
Speaker 2: was not drafted where he was supposed to be drafted.
12:38
Speaker 2: It added suspense. It was a Shakespearean drama, especially during
12:43
Speaker 2: rounds two and three and then on to day number
12:47
Speaker 2: three as well. In Day two, though, when everyone just
12:50
Speaker 2: assumed should Sanders we picked in the top ten picks
12:54
Speaker 2: of the second round, That kept people glued in and
12:58
Speaker 2: there was a seven point four million dollars million average
13:02
Speaker 2: seven point four million average in viewership for round two
13:06
Speaker 2: and round three of the draft. There was an eleven
13:09
Speaker 2: percent increase in day one, there was a forty percent
13:13
Speaker 2: spike in day two, and it continued into day three.
13:17
Speaker 2: So that should be worth a Ghia Delli gift basket
13:22
Speaker 2: with some Gramcat crackers covered in chocolate and some milk
13:25
Speaker 2: chocolate covered pretzels. That is a unique situation, and so
13:29
Speaker 2: the phony phone call added a little more to it.
13:32
Speaker 1: All right, now, final thought.
13:34
Speaker 2: We take a trip to the dark side right now
13:38
Speaker 2: where veteran NFL running back and former Raider Josh Jacobs.
13:43
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, he says.
13:46
Speaker 2: That he is in constant contact, or at least regular
13:48
Speaker 2: contact with his former teammate Henry Ruggs, a notorious figure
13:55
Speaker 2: in NFL's circles, a former Alabama wide receiver Henry Rowe,
14:01
Speaker 2: and Josh Jacobs. The running back says, Henry Ruggs has
14:04
Speaker 2: been training non stop while in prison with the hopes
14:09
Speaker 2: of playing football again once he is released. Now, a
14:13
Speaker 2: number of you boys listen in prison. You've contacted me.
14:16
Speaker 2: You listen to the show when you're supposed to be sleeping.
14:18
Speaker 2: And I appreciate that, and you've informed me a little
14:22
Speaker 2: bit about prison life.
14:23
Speaker 1: I have not been to prison.
14:24
Speaker 2: I like to avoid it. But the general consensus is
14:29
Speaker 2: there's not too much going on. There's not too much.
14:32
Speaker 2: You just have to find ways to kill time. And
14:34
Speaker 2: so the report claims this is the part where it
14:37
Speaker 2: gets really wacky. It's like, you'd expect a guy in
14:41
Speaker 2: prison who's a young person who was an athlete to
14:44
Speaker 2: continue working out to stay in shape. You don't expect
14:48
Speaker 2: him to be like a former Jacksonville wide receiver from
14:50
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State who's let himself go a little bit. But anyway,
14:54
Speaker 2: the point is you'd expect this to be the case.
14:57
Speaker 2: This next part where Josh Jacobs says that multiple teams
15:03
Speaker 2: would be interested in adding Henry Ruggs when he's eventually
15:07
Speaker 2: released from.
15:08
Speaker 1: Prison, that part jumped out.
15:11
Speaker 2: So question for the esteem panel, what is your viewpoint
15:17
Speaker 2: on Henry Ruggs getting another chance to play in the NFL.
15:23
Speaker 2: So my viewpoint on this is much like American made
15:27
Speaker 2: luxury appliances sub zero less than zero, get out the
15:32
Speaker 2: refrigerator and the freezer, Grandma less than zero now. Henry
15:36
Speaker 2: Ruggs is currently serving three to ten years for a
15:41
Speaker 2: dui crash that killed with a capitol k killed a
15:46
Speaker 2: twenty three year old woman named Tina and her dog.
15:52
Speaker 2: He was in a corvette. He was speeding around drunk
15:56
Speaker 2: around Vegas one hundred and fifty six miles per hour kaboom.
16:02
Speaker 2: The woman was alive at the time of the accident,
16:06
Speaker 2: the dog was alive, and.
16:09
Speaker 1: They burned up in the car.
16:11
Speaker 2: And Henry Ruggs sat on the side of the road
16:15
Speaker 2: while all that went on. And he's not returning the NFL.
16:20
Speaker 2: He's not like I understand the NFL. With a lot
16:23
Speaker 2: of things happen, I mean this one. No, I'm voting,
16:26
Speaker 2: though it is wishful thinking. Also to say that he's
16:31
Speaker 2: definitely getting out of jail when he's first eligible. He's
16:34
Speaker 2: eligible for parole, which is hard to believe in August
16:37
Speaker 2: of next year. So August fifth of twenty twenty six,
16:41
Speaker 2: it will be twenty seven years old. But remember, just
16:45
Speaker 2: because you're eligible for parole, it is not guaranteed that
16:48
Speaker 2: you're going to be released. And his sentence could extend
16:52
Speaker 2: up to ten years, which is one hundred and twenty
16:55
Speaker 2: months from the original sentencing, which was back in twenty
16:58
Speaker 2: twenty three.
17:00
Speaker 1: So what does all that mean.
17:01
Speaker 2: If he serves the full term, he would be released
17:04
Speaker 2: around twenty thirty three, which at that point he would
17:09
Speaker 2: be thirty four years old, turning thirty five in January
17:14
Speaker 2: of twenty thirty four, which means he's definitely not definitely
17:19
Speaker 2: not coming back at that point. But there is to
17:21
Speaker 2: me no reasonable path to return to the NFL. I
17:24
Speaker 2: get that the NFL has allowed people who've done some
17:27
Speaker 2: really crappy things to play in their business, and I
17:30
Speaker 2: understand that and certainly not against the second chance opportunity.
17:35
Speaker 1: But my advice to Henry Ruggs is to, you know,
17:38
Speaker 1: keep yourself clean.
17:39
Speaker 2: Get out of jail, go out and get a real
17:41
Speaker 2: job and live a nice life and all that. But
17:45
Speaker 2: you've lost your privileges in the NFL. You can get
17:48
Speaker 2: a good job and you can make money as a
17:51
Speaker 2: regular human being and all that.
17:53
Speaker 1: But ya, we don't need to see.
17:55
Speaker 2: In the NFL. You know, we're good. We're good on that.

19:01

19:07

Speaker 2: Yeah, Stevie Meatball says Tom Brady recently fell in love
22:22
Speaker 2: with prison yard deflated ball dancing enter Henry Ruggs as

23:16
Speaker 2: Guy too soon Gummy Dave got it right. He's no fun.
23:19
Speaker 2: He must have cheated. Save by the bell is the answer?
23:24
Speaker 2: Not Saved by the bell from King Rory. That's his answer.
23:27
Speaker 2: Late night drug tester said, little people wrestling? Who else
23:30
Speaker 2: do we have a page down? Curling from Eke in Roseville,
23:34
Speaker 2: Minnesota supermarket. Steve says, you are Al Michaels trying to
23:39
Speaker 2: sell the feel good story of Henry Ruggs returning to
23:42
Speaker 2: society in the NFL. Well, if Henry Ruggs was allowed
23:45
Speaker 2: to come back to the NFL, you know that, some
23:48
Speaker 2: dopey sideline reporter, we'll talk about how tough it's been
23:51
Speaker 2: on Henry Ruggs being in jail because he killed the
23:55
Speaker 2: woman that burned up in her car, and it's such
23:57
Speaker 2: a sad all right. Anyway, all right, let's see here, Lorena,
24:01
Speaker 2: do you have an answer the mallet riddle of the day.
24:03
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, good old Tom Brady fell in love with
24:07
Speaker 2: Blank and brought in a player from that sport to
24:11
Speaker 2: try to make it with the Raiders.
24:14
Speaker 7: Well, you know, I thought it was pretty obvious that
24:16
Speaker 7: it was pickleball because it's a new sport and he
24:19
Speaker 7: just got into it, you know.
24:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, who doesn't like pickle ball?
24:22
Speaker 1: Is it pickleball?
24:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not pickleball. It is the sport of rugby.
24:32
Speaker 2: Rugby the Raiders sign. I'm gonna try to pronounce his
24:39
Speaker 2: name and I'll probably get it wrong. But nobody in
24:41
Speaker 2: the States knows who this is. Lackey has he. I
24:44
Speaker 2: believe he is the name l A k I t
24:46
Speaker 2: as I. He is a defensive verman. They hope he
24:50
Speaker 2: plays defensive line. He is part of the NFL's International
24:54
Speaker 2: Player Pathway program, whatever the hell that is. Was born
24:57
Speaker 2: in Australia and he will be granted an exemption. He
25:02
Speaker 2: will be included in the ninety player offseason roster. He's
25:06
Speaker 2: a rugby player. This guy is six six he is
25:11
Speaker 2: three hundred and forty seven pounds. He's played rugby for
25:15
Speaker 2: Queensland Samoa before signing and switching to the NFL. And
25:20
Speaker 2: I saw some photos. This guy looks like he's built
25:24
Speaker 2: out of stone. He's like one of the Greek gods,
25:27
Speaker 2: chiseled out of stone. You hear six six three forty seven.
25:32
Speaker 2: You're thinking this guy's eating the all you can eat
25:35
Speaker 2: you know, the all you can eat pie deal. No,
25:39
Speaker 2: this guy is man washboard abs and.
25:43
Speaker 1: Just unbelievable, got the legs like.
25:46
Speaker 2: Sequon Barkley and we'll see he's twenty one years old.
25:50
Speaker 1: But that guy has been added to the raider.
25:53
Speaker 2: Roster because of Tom Brady. Hopefully echoes better than Geno Smith.
25:59
Speaker 2: And then Pete Carroll. Let's get this some calls in.
26:03
Speaker 2: It is a call in show. And let's say hello
26:05
Speaker 2: to Eenie Meenie, miney Moe. Let's say hello to Andrea,
26:10
Speaker 2: who's in Berkeley. She's the astrology lady. There's a lot
26:14
Speaker 2: going on here with us Bill Belichick story. We'll do
26:16
Speaker 2: a Mallard monologue next hour, but let's get a preview.
26:19
Speaker 2: And what are the what does the star charts say here?
26:23
Speaker 2: The romance? All the tabloids are all over this, the
26:26
Speaker 2: forty nine year age gap is Belichick?
26:29
Speaker 8: I know it's actually just on Nightline, like.
26:32
Speaker 6: Oh is that?
26:33
Speaker 1: Is that right?
26:34
Speaker 8: The extream news.
26:35
Speaker 2: The creative Mews, the creative news of Belichick there and
26:41
Speaker 2: the id id mill. I guess you called her a
26:45
Speaker 2: bunch of different things. But anyway, what do you got
26:47
Speaker 2: on this?
26:48
Speaker 7: Yeah?
26:48
Speaker 8: You know what's interesting besides sports astrology relationship compatibility is
26:53
Speaker 8: one of my specialties, and people are really interested in
26:57
Speaker 8: relationship compatibility, and in this case very interested Bill Belichick.
27:03
Speaker 8: He's an Aries April sixteen, nineteen fifty two in Nashville, Tennessee.
27:10
Speaker 8: And then we have the Pisces. We have Jordan's Hudson
27:16
Speaker 8: March fifth, two thousand and one. And what's real interesting.
27:22
Speaker 8: She's a Pisces, but she has Venus and Ares, which
27:27
Speaker 8: is very compatible with an Aries. And Venus is a
27:30
Speaker 8: planet of love and beauty and finances, so I can
27:35
Speaker 8: see how she'd be drawn or frankly, how they be
27:38
Speaker 8: drawn to one another. And Pisces has this escapist quality bend.
27:42
Speaker 8: It's like very fantasy oriented. It's very dreamy, kind of
27:46
Speaker 8: other worldly. And when you have that energy, when you
27:51
Speaker 8: run that energy, you know, it can be attractive to
27:56
Speaker 8: some people. And Pisces, you know, is very escapist. So
28:00
Speaker 8: being in a relationship with the Pisces can be spiritual
28:04
Speaker 8: on one end, kind of idealistic, romantic, mystical on another end.
28:09
Speaker 8: And Aries, we know, Bill Belichick, it's a fire sign.
28:13
Speaker 8: So this is an energy that kind of calms and
28:15
Speaker 8: mellows and out because Aries is really fiery and combative,
28:19
Speaker 8: kind of always spoiling for a fight. So that assertiveness
28:24
Speaker 8: that you know, competitive energy is kind of mellowed out
28:29
Speaker 8: by being with a Pisces.
28:31
Speaker 2: So it is well, it's also his age though, I
28:33
Speaker 2: would say, right, you get mellow.
28:35
Speaker 1: Is your age down a little bit?
28:38
Speaker 8: You know?
28:38
Speaker 2: I was fiery? Right, most bad stuff happens when you're
28:42
Speaker 2: under the age of like thirty, Right, when you get older,
28:44
Speaker 2: you get ill, calm and right.
28:46
Speaker 8: That's sut of a turn twenty eight to thirty, correct.
28:50
Speaker 8: So yeah, this is kind of interesting that he's you know,
28:55
Speaker 8: having this nuance in his life path and you know,
28:59
Speaker 8: she's no, he's fools. She's like, I don't want to
29:01
Speaker 8: talk about how we met. I don't want to talk
29:03
Speaker 8: about this. I don't want to talk about that. She's
29:05
Speaker 8: kind of in control with her venus and ares, so
29:08
Speaker 8: it's you know, quite a duo, a dynamic duo there
29:12
Speaker 8: between the two of them. But again with Pisces, it's
29:16
Speaker 8: kind of a little fantasy energy there being in relationship
29:20
Speaker 8: with the Pisces, and they do have that compatibility with
29:25
Speaker 8: her being a Pisces in venus and Ares and he's
29:28
Speaker 8: an Aries, so that's like a natural friendship and natural
29:31
Speaker 8: connection so there is that, so it'll be interesting to see.
29:35
Speaker 8: But you know, she's a young and she hasn't even
29:37
Speaker 8: had her satur return yet, which is twenty eight thirty.
29:40
Speaker 2: She's she's young and she's now rich. We're going to
29:43
Speaker 2: talk about that next hour. But she's already got a
29:46
Speaker 2: huge amount of money from this relationship.
29:49
Speaker 8: So oh, what a surprise little bit, Yeah.
29:52
Speaker 2: Daddy, Yeah, Well it's a it's a people talk about,
29:57
Speaker 2: you know, old time stories. But this story, I mean,
29:59
Speaker 2: since the beginning, don't you think probably in the Middle Ages,
30:02
Speaker 2: some you know, some pharaoh was giving some young woman
30:05
Speaker 2: tons of gold or something. I mean, this fight goes
30:07
Speaker 2: back to the beginning of time.
30:08
Speaker 9: I mean.
30:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, all right, well, thank you, Andrea, appreciate that,
30:14
Speaker 2: and virgo and service on X.
30:16
Speaker 1: Have a wonderful rest of your day until your back.
30:18
Speaker 8: You've been all right, good care.

Speaker 2: There you go.

30:52
Speaker 1: the voice.
30:54
Speaker 7: I just want to say that these cats calling them
30:56
Speaker 7: last night, you know, belittle in myself with these weird
31:00
Speaker 7: soliloquies that they only know about. Look, then I'm the
31:04
Speaker 7: best caller in the nation.
31:06
Speaker 9: I don't care about they nothing happening on the East Coast. Man.

Speaker 7: I did?
31:12
Speaker 9: Who cussed out time? And the sort of I did
31:14
Speaker 9: he catch? The roving credential events?
31:16
Speaker 1: Do you feel me like they're not they're not polished?
31:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, Ben, Ben, let.
31:22
Speaker 8: Me tell you.
31:22
Speaker 7: Let me tell you Jonas Garbage bye bye, Lebrooms, Lebrun,
31:27
Speaker 7: the court Justine.
31:28
Speaker 9: Like I told you, Ben, he's gone.
31:30
Speaker 7: You know, their phone's like Vietnam being there dropping my flives.
31:33
Speaker 7: And when I told you three years ago Curry was
31:35
Speaker 7: going to be the goat, I was mocked, laughed at ostracide.
31:38
Speaker 7: You gotta be humiliated, But I don't get amiliated bent
31:41
Speaker 7: because I come with it. Ben. I'm trying to sell
31:43
Speaker 7: you right now. Dyan Debt, Miami, gardens bro the Niners
31:48
Speaker 7: got thousands back and you know what, you know what
31:51
Speaker 7: catch like? Uh uh like like Doc Rivers, he's he's
31:56
Speaker 7: just like the Cincinnati Bagels.
31:57
Speaker 2: He was under Marvin much his name he all barbar Lewis.
32:00
Speaker 1: Marvin Marvin Lewis never Lebride.
32:03
Speaker 7: You feel me always disappear in his playoff times.
32:06
Speaker 9: Did you go look at their quotes?
32:08
Speaker 7: Like where did they get these topcorn clots from? You
32:10
Speaker 7: know Bill Parcels and Bill Walser, guys that got closed.
32:13
Speaker 9: These other guys are weird. Man, I was looking at
32:15
Speaker 9: their cluotes. I'm like this bizarre.
32:16
Speaker 7: You don't know what their minds yet.
32:17
Speaker 5: Man.
32:18
Speaker 9: That is important because it was in sports.
32:20
Speaker 1: Well they are that they are weird.
32:21
Speaker 2: But nick I would argue that Marvin Lewis was better
32:24
Speaker 2: than Doctors because Marvin Lewis took a team that wasn't
32:27
Speaker 2: that good and they were a playoff team. Doc Rivers
32:30
Speaker 2: has taking teams that are perceived to be good and
32:33
Speaker 2: they underachieved. Marvin Lewis. They he seemed to get a
32:36
Speaker 2: lot out of some pretty average Bengal teams.
32:40
Speaker 7: But he also had he also had a lot of
32:42
Speaker 7: uh something with one of those Rusbians that was out there.
32:44
Speaker 7: That's catching a lot of getting tol them over a
32:46
Speaker 7: lot out there.
32:47
Speaker 9: Man, I'm know what's going down.
32:48
Speaker 1: Well, that is true.
32:49
Speaker 2: There were a lot of there was a criminal element
32:50
Speaker 2: to the Bengals.

Speaker 7: But I don't mind.
32:53
Speaker 9: I don't mind the criminal elements.
32:55

Speaker 6: All right, Ben, you want to start off with a
35:16
Speaker 6: with a deep one.
35:18
Speaker 2: Oh, that could be a drop, ye.
35:24
Speaker 6: Bobby and Florida.
35:25
Speaker 10: He wants to know do you think that AI will
35:28
Speaker 10: improve society or be its downfall?
35:32
Speaker 1: Well?
35:33
Speaker 2: I always look at these things like they're never as
35:36
Speaker 2: bad as people think they are, and they're never as
35:38
Speaker 2: good as people think they are.
35:39
Speaker 1: So I think the answer is somewhere in the middle.
35:41
Speaker 2: Like I think for medicine it's going to be amazing
35:45
Speaker 2: and that they will be able to come up with
35:47
Speaker 2: cures to a lot of the illnesses that are killing
35:50
Speaker 2: so many of us and our parents and whatnot, in
35:53
Speaker 2: terms of cancer and things like that.
35:55
Speaker 1: So I think from that perspective it's going to be wonderful.
35:59
Speaker 2: I am Concer earned about the number of people that
36:01
Speaker 2: are currently have jobs that.
36:02
Speaker 1: Will be replaced by AI. And I don't know what
36:05
Speaker 1: everyone's going to.
36:05
Speaker 2: Do for work, so that part of it does trouble me.
36:10
Speaker 2: But I think in the end of technology changes, it's
36:13
Speaker 2: like when the car came along, people who had horses.
36:16
Speaker 2: I don't want a car, and then now it's just
36:19
Speaker 2: you move on to whatever's next and things will settle in.
36:22
Speaker 1: What about you, Lorraina, what do you think about AI?
36:25
Speaker 6: Yeah, AI is gonna rule us all.
36:27
Speaker 1: Okay, we're done, We're all cooked. It's over. Pop.
36:31
Speaker 6: I'm kind of on the same page as you, Ben.
36:33
Speaker 10: I think overall it's gonna it's gonna be better for society,
36:36
Speaker 10: but it's gonna it's gonna be different, or we're gonna
36:39
Speaker 10: have to make some adjustments.
36:40
Speaker 1: There's an adjustment period.
36:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's like you know in my life,
36:45
Speaker 2: you know, you reflected, but you get older and you're like,
36:47
Speaker 2: I think about when I was a kid, like I
36:49
Speaker 2: didn't have bones and crap. You know, we had to
36:52
Speaker 2: go out and run around and cause havoc in the neighborhood.
36:55
Speaker 2: And now just sit on your phone play video games
36:57
Speaker 2: all day. Which I probably would have done if I
36:58
Speaker 2: had it. I didn't have it, so I'd like to
37:01
Speaker 2: run through orange groves and throw oranges and crap like that.
37:04
Speaker 1: But it's just like things change.
37:05
Speaker 2: You're in and we'll figure it out. What's next?
37:09
Speaker 9: What are we at?
37:09
Speaker 5: All?
37:09
Speaker 3: Right?
37:09
Speaker 10: We have connected questions here connected? Yes, First, the King
37:13
Speaker 10: Rory would like to know, Hi, King Rory, how many
37:16
Speaker 10: holes are too many? Until you throw out a pair
37:19
Speaker 10: of socks?
37:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a problem.
37:22
Speaker 2: I wear the socks until there are multiple holes. Normally
37:26
Speaker 2: there's an intervention by my wife to get rid of
37:29
Speaker 2: the socks. I will continue to wear them. I have
37:32
Speaker 2: no shame in my sock hole game. So normally somebody
37:36
Speaker 2: has to step in and take them out. Otherwise I
37:38
Speaker 2: will keep wearing them. So the answer is, really, there's
37:40
Speaker 2: no end to the amount of holes in the socks.
37:43
Speaker 1: What about you, Loraina?
37:44
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no holes in my socks. I cannot
37:47
Speaker 6: handle such things. My feet are too soft.
37:50
Speaker 1: Okay, well mine or not? I have a lot of
37:54
Speaker 1: wear and tear.
37:54
Speaker 2: Shall we say? Anyway? What about you?
37:56
Speaker 4: Coop?
37:57
Speaker 10: I'm with Loraina. One hole and it's gone.
38:00
Speaker 2: Well, aren't you guys? Up at the up at the
38:02
Speaker 2: all right, what's next? Where are we at?
38:03
Speaker 6: All right?
38:04
Speaker 10: So Donkey Sausage said to you, my donkey to go
38:06
Speaker 10: along with King Rory's question, how holy does your underwear
38:10
Speaker 10: gotta be before they are thrown out?
38:12
Speaker 2: Well, that is a little different and it does depend
38:14
Speaker 2: about where as you know, Coop, because of our anatomy
38:17
Speaker 2: where the hole is, there's certain locations that are immediately
38:21
Speaker 2: a throwaway. There are other locations that might be up
38:24
Speaker 2: on the tookas that doesn't really matter. But if it's
38:27
Speaker 2: in the bottom part there and it hits you just
38:29
Speaker 2: where where there's important stuff right away, trash.
38:33
Speaker 3: Lorena, I'm sorry about holes in men's underwear is disgusting.
38:38
Speaker 6: Fix it.
38:39
Speaker 7: You know women's underwear are some of ours holes in
38:42
Speaker 7: it naturally, So as long as it's not wear and tear,
38:47
Speaker 7: I'm keeping them all right.
38:49
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think if you're going a date, guys,
38:51
Speaker 2: you should probably not wear the tear of underwear holes.
38:53
Speaker 6: These are my lucky tonies.
38:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe maybe save those for later.
38:59
Speaker 6: Man, I'm kind of with you.
39:01
Speaker 10: If it's like, if there's holes up by like the waistband,
39:04
Speaker 10: I'll keep those.
39:05
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Yeah, there you go, ask man, there it
39:09
Speaker 1: is
