  Speaker 1: Here in our number one.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Why have Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers been unable to
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: find common ground? It seemed like it was almost done
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: about a day ago, and now there's some problems between
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Rogers and the Steelers. Talk of the Vikings and the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Giants getting involved now. Also, how do you categorize Russell
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Wilson and how he relates in this Aaron Rodgers free
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: agency saga?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And we'll go to the wide receiver world.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: What do you make of the story about Chris Godwin
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: leaving an extra twenty million on the table, possibly by
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: New England to stay in Tampa. He said nine out
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: of ten people would not have done what he did.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about all that and more right now as
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: we pass you the rock here in our number one.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It is a standoff.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Roger that welcome in the beginning of yet another night
• 1:18

  Speaker 2: tire raq dot com the way tire buying show me.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of like a soap opera this time
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of the year. I think you'd agree right and pay
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: attention to this crap. And this time it's all about
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the NFL, the new league year.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Players getting paid massive amounts of money, other players getting
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: fired from their jobs. And there's this great juxtaposition in
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the NFL where a lot of people are getting paid
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: by other people are not getting paid. But our lead
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: is from mister Rogers neighborhood. We're gonna take the trolley
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: into mister Rogers neighborhood. There now when we left the
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: studio during our previous episode of the show, when we
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: walked out of the studio, we were relatively confident. By
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the time the afternoon came around, airin Rogers has was
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: going to get a deal.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: He was going to have a deal done.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: But between the time that we turned off the microphones
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and walked out of the building into the parking lot,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: got in the cards, rove to the north Woods, went
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to bed, woke up. By the time we woke up,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: deal would have been done and everything said Steelers, Steelers, Steelers.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: We wait.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: The plot thickens if you've not heard the latest Bumpkus
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: radio silence, which you're not supposed to have when you're
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: doing talk radio radio silence. So Aaron Rodgers said, to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: be still this late hour, waist deep in deliberation and
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: negotiation with the Pittsburgh football team as he decides his
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: next chess move in free agency.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And so much for the reporting that he was not
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: going to play.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Not only is Rogers planning on playing, he's got multiple
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: teams that are trying to get his rotting carcass on
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: their roster. Considering how bad Rogers was with the Jets,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: It's fascinating that there are multiple teams that are trying
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: to get Aaron Rodgers in the uniform. So based on
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the conflicting reports in the overnight here, Rogers is said
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to be an impass with the Insurs. The other team
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: involved the Giants. There's also some chatter that don't discount
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the Minnesota vikings. So what exactly Let's focus in on
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: So what exactly is the hang up in the burg?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: So as we discussed this, the question why cut to
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the chase? Why have Aaron Rodgers camp and these Steelers
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: been unable to find common ground? So I've got promo
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Code Pigeon and Uncle Sam and we will combine all
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: of these things together and we are going to make
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: delicious Saint Patti's Day's cookies. Now I've not had one
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: of those Saint Patti Day's cookie but there's a big
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: box in the other room.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: More on that later.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And if that that doesn't work, we'll put those together
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and make some parogis.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: You know, because you think Pittsburgh, you think parogis. Why not?
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: So A the working theory is that the Yenser's front
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: office has sticker shock they have.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: They have sometimes.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I know most people do shopping online these days, but
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: sometimes you'll go to the store old school we called
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: old school.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And in the old world.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You used to have to gohoes place called like malls
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and whatnot, and you'd have to find stuff in the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: store and you couldn't really price around. So the Steelers,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: it's a case of the best laid plans of mice
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: men and NFL executives often go a right. So everyone assumed,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: now you know what happened, and you assume everyone assumed
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the position that Aaron Rodgers was willing to play for
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: peanuts with the Rams, right, the Rams. The story was
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago that Matthew Stafford was going
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: to go play for the Giants or the and then
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the Rams. We're gonna sign Aaron Rodgers, and he was
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: gonna give the Rams a sweetheart deal because he wanted
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: to play with Sean McVay and Poka Nakua and that
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: was the way it went. Well, we know Stafford did
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the old headfake and said, psych, I'm gonna actually stay
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: with the Rams, and he took a contract that was
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a little less than he could have gotten elsewhere, so
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: we know that to be true. So Mike Tomlin and
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: really just the Steeler front office. Not know how much
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin's involved in this. It's the Steeler front office here,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the Rooney family and whatnot. They're trying to find the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: promo code. They want the promo code the Rams are
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: gonna use. They had the promo code. The Rams gonna
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: use that promo code. And at this point these Steelers
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: are like, Hey, didn't you used to sell insurance? Can
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: we get that discount? Double check? Can we get that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: we'd like to discount double check. Now it sounds like
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Rogers is being pig headed, which is fine. I mean,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: if you've got multiple teams and you know your value,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I don't have a I'm with that. He can say
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: he's a douche and all that. But the Rodgers is
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: in a position of strength here and he wants to
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: get the market rate. That's the hypothesis going around right now.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And there's no coupon because you're in western Pennsylvania and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: you've got the cool logo on one side of the
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: helmet and all that.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: And so Rogers, if.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: We're reading the room properly, believes he's got all of
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: these teams by the foot balls, if you will, here,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: and he's the last veteran quarterback who doesn't one hundred
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: percent blow. Okay, so there's other veteran quarterbacks, but they
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: all have coodies. Now, Rogers, you could argue, has a
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: lot of stank from being in the cockpit with the Jets. However,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: it does not appear to be affecting his value at
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: this particular point and his advanced age in the athletic
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: kingdom all right now, page two.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So you've got the Yin and the Yang, the Yin
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and the Yang.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: So the Yin and the Yang, you got air Rogers
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and what's going on between the Steelers and the Giants
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: are lurking in the in the weeds if Rogers wants
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to stay in New Jersey and play more bad football
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and totally destroy both New York.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Teams or New Jersey teams.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So the other part of this is how do you
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: categorize the latest developments as they relate to Russell Wilson,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the former, you could argue, incumbent Steelers quarterback who is
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: out there in free agency right now, So how does
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: his situation change based on everything that's going on. So
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I think of mister mister unlimited Russell Wilson like a pigeon,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: and I just bear with me on this. He's an
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: old fashioned stool pigeon. At this particular point, he's playing
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the waiting game. He has no other options. Russell Wilson's
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: got no other options. He's not going to sign first,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: He's going to sign last. And he is in in
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: this littlecttionercise. He's a decoy at least. The Steelers are
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: trying to sell Rogers and his reps that they could
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: always pivot back to Russell Wilson. They in fact, we
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: know that to be true because the Steelers leak to
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: their useful idiots otherwise known as beat writers the story,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and that's the story they wanted to get out, that
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Russell Wilson could go back and all that. So Russ
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: is in afterthought as he should be, as he should
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: be the way he played in an absolute embarrassment down
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the stretch for the Steelers. So in this exercise, Russ
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: will be the last one pick the last ones.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I know about that. When I was in elementary school,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I was like the last.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: One picked, and I know what it's like to be
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: overlooked and all that have been there. I do the
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Overnight show and yeah, so that's where we are now,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: all right, last word, we go quickly to Tampa, the
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Tampa Saint Pete area. The Buccaneer pirate ship locked in
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: this week their wide receiver, Chris Godwin, a godlike figure.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: He was a free agent, and the story from the
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: last couple of days was Chris Godwin had plenty of
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: opportunities to leave the state of Florida and go somewhere
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: else and get the riches of Solomon. He decided he
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: did not want the riches of Solomon. So it's hard
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: to say that he got a raw deal, as Godwin
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: got a three year contract for sixty six million, but
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: forty four million of that Chris Godwin deal is garan teed,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: so that's how much he actually got. But he believes
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: that others would not have settled for that. In fact,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: that Godwin, speaking to the microphones and cameras in Tampa,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: said it boiled down to family and just staying true
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to who I am was the quote. He then said
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: that nine out of ten people in his position would
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: not have necessarily made this decision, meaning that he's somehow
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: in the top percentile of morally correct people because he
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: took less money even though he got forty four million guaranteed.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Should we have a bake sale for Chris Godwin? All right?
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: So yeah, the chatter is Godwin could have made an
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: extra twenty million dollars. Now, the speculation is that the
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: New England football team, the Patsy's, offered Chris Godwin. I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: think they're called the Patriots, but the way they played recently,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the back to me in the patsis. So the chatter
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: is the Patriots are the ones that offered Chris Godwin
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: that money money money, So.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: What do you make of the story? Now?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Including some quotes from Chris Godwin saying that he essentially left,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: he confirmed the story that he left in the neighborhood
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: of twenty million dollars from New England on the table
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: to stay in Tampa, all right.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: So I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I'm
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: skeptical that this is true.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: And it seems like there's a lot of semantics involved
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: in this, and so my BS detective started going.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Just like that when I saw it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Methinks the football player is a little too braggadocious. Methinks, Yeah,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: like you'd be the biggest dingleberry in the world to
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: reject an extra twenty million dollars. All things being the same,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: you're doing the same sport and all that stuff. And
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: it's not like Baker Mayfield is the second coming. He's fine.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: He's an average NFL quarterback. He's not that great, but
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: he's not terrible. He's just kind of there, all right.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: So it's not like you're playing with Mahomes or regular
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: season Lamar Jackson or somebody like that. You're playing with
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield. He's fine, but you're gonna leave twenty million
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: on the table here. You're affecting future generations of the family.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: So what's going on here? I think he's being completely transparent.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: No, I do. I don't.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: It's more likely than not, based on my read of
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the situation, that there is a concophony of fine print
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: involved in this, meaning Uncle Sam or go. Let's say
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: it's Florida versus, as Bill Belichick called it, Taxachusetts. In
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: that tax situation, the state income tax in Florida is,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I think we can all agree, a really good state
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: income tax, zero percent. It's really good, really that's what
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: you want, right, you want zero percent?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: That's that's what they've got.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Zero percent Massachusetts or Taxachusetts is Bill Belichick called it famously.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: The income tax plus the jock tax is nine percent.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: So right off the top, that's nine percent. Now, if
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: you do some mal or math and you futs around
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: with the numbers, let's say that Godwin had an offer of.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Around eighty million dollars.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: In that neighborhood from the Patriots and sixty six million
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: from Tampa, And you can futs around with the numbers,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: put your taxation in there and all that. And also
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: you don't know how much of the money from the
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Patriots was guaranteed. Is it funny money? Is it fake money?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of filler.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: It's like hot dogs. They put a lot of filler
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: in there with these contracts.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: So Godwin, he has to come back from that devastating
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: ankle injury, so who knows, he's damaged goods until proven otherwise.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: And that ended his twenty twenty four season. The bit
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: short it is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like
• 14:37

• 19:38
  Speaker 2: chat Packer legend Brett Farve, and he has decided to
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: encourage Aaron Rodgers to sign with one NFL team. In particular,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: he said, by all means, he wants to see Aaron
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Rodgers go to this team. Is this team A the
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers, Is this team B the New York Giants?
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: No?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Or is it see mystery team? Yeah, that is correct.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: It would be answersy Brett Farv encouraging Aaron Rodgers to
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: sign with the Minnesota Vikings. I don't know how Femi
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: feels about that, or hollering James or Eke and Roseville, Minnesota,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: or and his other guy. The great listeners we have
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: in the Twin cities there as we dominate the radio
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: dial when everyone's sleeping there at Minnesota. But Brett Farv
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: saying that he'd like to see and that's called the
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: the Farv career arc. He said, by all means, sign
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: with the Vikings. They're loaded at pretty much every position.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Farv said, Now that's the same career that Farv had.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: He went from the remember he went back in the day.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: He went from the Packers to the Jets, and then
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: he had a problem with his mister microphone, and then
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: he went over to the.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: To the Vikings.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: He had a brief renaissance, Yes, brief renaissance, and I
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: had some success there in Minnesota, and then it all,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: it all went away.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: So we'll keep an eye on that.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: People are saying the Vikings are lurking in the shadows,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: but they're not getting a lot of attention. All the
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: attention is about the black and yellow, black and yellow,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: black and yellow bill, the black and yellow and the giants.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: To the phones.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: We go and we go now to Taxachusetts and we
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: say hello to Andre in the Commonwealth.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Hello, Andre, welcome.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: How are you ben?
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Good to be with you this evening taxa choosets, you know,
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: it kind of it's a double edged sword, you know
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: here in the Commonwealth. You know, talking a little bit
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: of economics, we do lead the nation in education and innovation,
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: a number of important categories, never mind what's going on nationally,
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: but the cost of living here, income wealth specifically, you know,
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: it is up there. So it's a debate on both sides.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: You know, we have things that we're quite proud of
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: in terms of our social contract, but then you know,
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: the cost of things not just in Massachusetts though in
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: the Northeast and in general, it's going up there, but
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: you know it's also going up, you know, in terms
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: of cost peace of mind. Ben, You started off talking
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: about the situation with the Steelers right how they want
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: to go with this new hot miss flavor of the
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: month thing, as if Aaron Rodgers is going to come
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: in and it's going to be some shangri lot situation.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: But man, I gotta tell you, you gotta be kept
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: with what you wish for because you might get it.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: And I'm not sold on this Aaron Rodgers pantacea all right?
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: Steelers Tomlin eighteen years. Another fan base is a little
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: bit you know, anxious because you know it's been like
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: a you know, eighteen years. A lot of mediocrities hit
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: you know, good early on, but mediocrity. Here's the point, Ben,
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: before I let you come in, because I know you've
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: got a lot of people behind me. Okay, here's the point.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: The standard is the standard. The Steelers mom and pop shop.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: They're about doing things a certain way. When has Aaron
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: Rodgers committed himself to doing things a certain way?
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: In Green Bay? He had it going on Matt before,
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: who was under he was unsure about you know, up
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: there in the MVP conversation with you know, Jordan Love
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: came in. He had to go. But I just don't
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: see it, Max SATs, I think I think it's oil
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: and vinegar here. So for Steelers Nation, Russell Wilson might
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: not be the guy, but Aaron Rodgers, I mean, you
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: got to. I'm just I'm not. I'm not sold on.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Well, you gotta please.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: You gotta play somebody and right now, unless you want
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins, who also blows.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Those are the three options.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: You've got Russell Wilson behind door number one, you got
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers behind door number two, and possibly Kirk Cousins
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: from Atlanta if they end up trading him or releasing him.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: So that's it. There's no who else is there? I
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: don't know you want Max?
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: You want Mac Jones late of the Patriots and Jacksonville.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: He's a free agent. No one's signing him. How about this?
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I got an idea. How about to Steelers trade for
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Brock Party without that Rock Party.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: I'm here, I'm hearing the people in San Francisco. I
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: want to give h fifty million dollars a year getting
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: rid of all their talented guys to bring in bringing
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: mister irrelevant. Listen, give me Kirk Cousins, give me you
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: like that?
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, come, how about this, Sean?
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: How about Deshaun Watson in a wheelchair playing for the Steelers?
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: Man, I'm off to creep the quarterback.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Dam you're done, Now you're done.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: We can officially, we'd like to alert to all the
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: affiliates now that Andre has now he's now.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Parted the ways with the creepy quarterback.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: They gave Miles Garrett the forty million dollars. DeShawn, you
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: know what I mean. I was with you with the
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: criminal versus civil. But what you did on the court,
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: what he did on the field, Ben, there's no two
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: ways to better.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: That is criminal.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: What Deshaun Watson did on the field is criminal. He
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: gave you that's not civil, that's criminal. And how about
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Miles Garrett man a man of great integrity, a man
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: of genius, a man.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Who said, I want to win.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I didn't go to Cleveland to go from Cleveland to Campton.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I want to win Super Bowls. And then the Browns
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: made him a godfather offer, and all of a sudden
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: he doesn't give a rats ass about winning a super Bowl.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: He might play a video game and win a super Bowl,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: but he ain't gonna sniff a super Bowl playing for
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: the Browns.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: Can't do it specifically in the AFC North Bend. But listen,
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: if they got Kirk Cousins, if they brought in first Cousins,
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: you know, they might give up a puncher's chance. But
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: that aside, Cleveland, you get mouth, and I'm happy you
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: got your money. You can Doug a basketball, Ben, He's
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: with you. He's a tall guy's athletic guy, you know
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: what I mean.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: He's a poet. He's also a poet, Miles Garrett. I remember
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: when he was coming in the into the NFL. They
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: were making a big deal because he's into poetry. And
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: that's you know, that's not that's kind of weird, you know,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: but hey, the times we're in poetry painted fingernails. It's
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: a different world, man, It's a different world, agreed, Ben.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: You know, I wish you would have remembered the poetry
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: when he had the incident with Mason Rudolph there.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: You know, he went four with a helmet.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: I wish you.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: Would have had some Mussan, I'm happy you got money
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: for the time Steelers Nation. Don't go for a new
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: stay with you.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Go give go, give will 's some treats or something.

• 26:18
  Speaker 2: so I watched the UFC like I'll watch some of

  Speaker 7: I don't know if it's no way, better think about
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: that girl who just had sex with all those guys
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: in what twenty four hours? How many did she get?
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't think Wilt was lining them up.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: And let's be let's be real here. Yeah, it's no,
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: it's a little bit easier for the for the women
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: to go right after the other.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. There's some downtime.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Men need some you need a time out, you need
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: a time out there. But Will I remember when I
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: used to go in the early days my kid as
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: a radio guy. Wilt would show up occasionally at the
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: at the Forum. He died before I think the new
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: arena which is now the old arena Staples Center opened up, but.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: He was sixty three. But and I am not really anymore.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: But I used to be buddies with Doug Krekoryan, who
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: was like a Laker beat writer back in the day,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: and he traveled with.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: The Lakers when Wilt was there.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: And and he he said no, I mean, he said, Will,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: it's full of crap basically, and some of the other people.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: But you know, well didn't I mean, I could be wrong,
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: but didn't he say at some point that he was
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: exaggerating a little bit.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: It was. It was kind of hyperbole. I do, but
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I mean that's a long time agos twenty six years.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: He died twenty six years ago.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: Look, I'm sure you know, maybe not that many, but
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: I'm sure.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: It's but Levy a lot. But Levey on Bell though,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: all right, he's talking. He says he's like a dragon.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: You know, he said he slayed like a dragon. He said,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: that's that's his claim there in the video.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: But I'm not saying. You know, obviously I don't know
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: this city.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: It is a different world professional athletes. You know, there's
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: something women find very attractive about them.

• 33:35
  Speaker 6: Well, I can't push back on that, No, but I
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: just look, obviously anything could happen. Anybody can lie. But
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: typically when there's false allegations against athletes, it's not a
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: family member like those those usually end up being uh,
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
