- 0:24Speaker 1: If the Rams and Matthew Stafford can come to an
- 0:26Speaker 1: agreement or cannot come to an agreement, would you be

- 0:33Speaker 1: the Rams. We'll talk about that. Also, thumbs up thumbs

- 2:12Speaker 2: So our lead this hour is from football Now.
- 2:17Speaker 1: We were expecting a corner copia of juicy Football News.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Did not get the corner copia did not. But we
- 2:26Speaker 1: have enough. If we mix the ingredients the right way
- 2:29Speaker 1: and put the right amount of garlic and onion and
- 2:32Speaker 1: some other spices in there, Little Kayam Pepper, I think
- 2:36Speaker 1: we're gonna be okay. So it's all about the spice.
- 2:39Speaker 1: It's all about the spice. That's what's all about. So
- 2:42Speaker 1: we're gonna start out this hour in the Speculation Room,
- 2:45Speaker 1: a fun place, and we're gonna do the quarterback shuffle.
- 2:49Speaker 2: You gotta do the shuffle. It's all about the quarterback shuffle.
- 2:52Speaker 1: So some new developments regarding amen that does not get
- 2:57Speaker 1: talked about very much on sports radio. People just seem
- 2:59Speaker 1: to ignore them. Aaron Rogers, Relax, You just got to relax.
- 3:05Speaker 1: So the latest developments as our world turns involving Aaron Rodgers,
- 3:12Speaker 1: everyone's favorite ayahuasca loving quarterback. Chatter picking up as the
- 3:19Speaker 1: train goes round the mountain, the steam engine there picking
- 3:23Speaker 1: up that Aaron Rogers. Aaron Rodgers would be thrilled, absolutely
- 3:28Speaker 1: thrilled with playing in Los Angeles. Now, obviously the Chargers
- 3:32Speaker 1: have a quarterback, so that would be the LMS. And
- 3:37Speaker 1: that is if Matthew Stafford is persona non grata and
- 3:42Speaker 1: he's out of town and they kick him to the curb,
- 3:46Speaker 1: then Aaron Rodgers can slide on in and be the quarterback.
- 3:49Speaker 1: And there you go. Now, Adam Schefter, who may or
- 3:53Speaker 1: may not know a thing or two, he's the one
- 3:55Speaker 1: that informs us the Rams could get a sweetheart deal.
- 3:59Speaker 1: He get Rogers for pennies on the dollar, So Aaron
- 4:03Speaker 1: Rodgers for pennies on the dollar, and then they would
- 4:05Speaker 1: flip Matthew Stafford for some draft picks, and not great drafticks,
- 4:10Speaker 1: but some draft picks. Now it is unknown at this
- 4:13Speaker 1: late hour whether or not the Rams want to ride
- 4:18Speaker 1: the crazy train with the mister Rogers. Now, the Rams
- 4:23Speaker 1: in Stafford continue to be at a standoff. There's a
- 4:28Speaker 1: line drawn in the sand in Malibu as they try
- 4:33Speaker 1: to figure that out. And well, there's still a possibility
- 4:36Speaker 1: that Stafford and the Rams will hammer things out. It's
- 4:39Speaker 1: looking more and more like that is not the case. Now,
- 4:42Speaker 1: question Aaron Rogers. So Aaron Rodgers again, the reporting says
- 4:48Speaker 1: he would be thrilled with the idea of going to
- 4:50Speaker 1: the Rams. If LA can get rid of Matthew Stafford
- 4:55Speaker 1: they can't come to an agreement, then that would be
- 4:59Speaker 1: wonderful for for Aaron Rodger and the changing of the guard.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Would you be okay with that? Would you be okay
- 5:06Speaker 1: with it? Well, of course, my opinion matters more than
- 5:09Speaker 1: anyone being the voice of the Overnight here, and we
- 5:12Speaker 1: all know the Overnight guy's opinion is much more important
- 5:15Speaker 1: than anyone else. So I've got Last Supper, TV, game
- 5:19Speaker 1: show and Narcan, and we will combine all of these
- 5:24Speaker 1: things together. We're gonna take a giant bucket of popcorn
- 5:28Speaker 1: and we're gonna put it on the table and we'll
- 5:29Speaker 1: snack on the giant bucket of popcorn, is what we're
- 5:32Speaker 1: going to do. That's how that's gonna work. So Hey,
- 5:35Speaker 1: to answer the question, would I be okay with the
- 5:38Speaker 1: changing of the guard in the Ram quarterback room from
- 5:40Speaker 1: Stafford to Aaron Rodgers.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Yes, I am nodding my head.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Yes, I would be okay right now. If the Rams
- 5:48Speaker 1: were to make that move, it wouldn't be an upgrade,
- 5:52Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a downgrade. It would be the sideway shuffle.
- 5:56Speaker 1: They do the sideway shuffle, That would be the dance move.
- 5:59Speaker 1: There a lateral drill of anything going from Matthew Stafford
- 6:03Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Both these guys at this.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Point are high tier three, low tier two, more high
- 6:09Speaker 1: tier three quarterbacks in the NFL. Stafford near the end
- 6:14Speaker 1: of last season, Now, he did play pretty well in
- 6:16Speaker 1: the playoffs, but he screwed up at the end there
- 6:18Speaker 1: where the Rams had a chance to eliminate the Eagles
- 6:21Speaker 1: on that long drive in the final seconds. He didn't
- 6:24Speaker 1: get it done there. But Stafford was showing signs of
- 6:28Speaker 1: mold near the end of the year, and Aaron Rodgers
- 6:33Speaker 1: surrounded by slop with the Jets, and both of them
- 6:37Speaker 1: had a similar bumpity bumpity bump ride near the end
- 6:42Speaker 1: of the regular season. So now my motivation be fully
- 6:46Speaker 1: transparent here. I have a four hour talk show to
- 6:49Speaker 1: do every night. I have three podcasts to do on
- 6:53Speaker 1: the weekend. So I have selfish ulterior motives here to
- 6:57Speaker 1: see Aaron Rodgers with the Rams. I think for me,
- 7:00Speaker 1: that would be great to do the talk show, And
- 7:02Speaker 1: that's really what I'm worried about, and it would be
- 7:05Speaker 1: the ultimate pet project for Sean McVay. Sean McVay, he's
- 7:10Speaker 1: got get another gold star near his name there. He's
- 7:14Speaker 1: already been tagged as the cradle of coaches all come
- 7:17Speaker 1: through LA with McVeigh and there's so many coaches around
- 7:20Speaker 1: the NFL that are from the Sean McVay coaching tree.
- 7:23Speaker 1: He's the quarterback whisperer. Wink wink, nod nod. Now, the
- 7:27Speaker 1: question the Rams have to answer is there any juice
- 7:31Speaker 1: there for Rogers? And if there is juice there for Rodgers,
- 7:34Speaker 1: is the juice worth the squeeze for Aaron Rodgers? There
- 7:37Speaker 1: can you get one productive year out of Rogers and
- 7:43Speaker 1: then figure it out.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Would there be some kind of renaissance with Aaron Rodgers.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Now, if they keep Matthew Stafford or go with Aaron Rodgers,
- 7:53Speaker 1: it does not change the dynamic in the room. It
- 7:56Speaker 1: does not change the dynamic in the room. All roads,
- 8:00Speaker 1: all of them, all roads lead to the Rams going
- 8:04Speaker 1: with the last Supper philosophy when it comes to the quarterback. Now,
- 8:09Speaker 1: what is the last Supper philosophy? When it comes to
- 8:12Speaker 1: the quarterback position. For the Rams, they are living in
- 8:15Speaker 1: the moment. They're living in the present. They are not
- 8:18Speaker 1: worried about the future. They are not some team obsessing
- 8:21Speaker 1: about having to get the quarterback and groom the quarterback.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford has been dinged up and damaged for several years,
- 8:28Speaker 1: and at no point have the Rams gotten a legitimate
- 8:31Speaker 1: heir to the throne. They haven't done it, and there's
- 8:34Speaker 1: no reason to think they're gonna do it now that
- 8:37Speaker 1: they're not gonna go that direction. The Rams seem perfectly
- 8:41Speaker 1: fine just peacemealing it together with an older quarterback and
- 8:46Speaker 1: seeing if that'll work and playball right. It was sitting
- 8:51Speaker 1: send the old guy out there, and let it rip.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Now page two, we go down to Minnesota. I thought
- 8:55Speaker 1: this was interesting. And the franchise tag window is open
- 9:01Speaker 1: and flag is up. Began at four o'clock Eastern time
- 9:06Speaker 1: on Tuesday. On Tuesday, four o'clock Eastern time, one o'clock
- 9:11Speaker 1: in the west. So we are told the Minnesota Vikings,
- 9:15Speaker 1: the Minnesota Viking. Now they are debating right now, it's
- 9:18Speaker 1: gonna go all the way to the eleventh hour whether
- 9:21Speaker 1: or not to franchise tag Sam Darnald. But wait a minute,
- 9:25Speaker 1: they've got JJ McCarthy. Why were they franchise tack Sam
- 9:28Speaker 1: donaldy stinks? Did you see him play against the Rams?
- 9:30Speaker 1: How about the game against the Lions? He's garbage, all right?
- 9:32Speaker 1: So these streets are talking. They say that Minnesota is
- 9:38Speaker 1: trying to piece together the trade market for Sam Donald
- 9:43Speaker 1: so they can get some return for the quarterback that
- 9:47Speaker 1: they don't really want. So question for the Esteem panel
- 9:50Speaker 1: thumbs up or thumbs down, thumbs upper, thumbs down on
- 9:55Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings really franchise tag Sam Donald? So I'm
- 10:02Speaker 1: gonna go two thumbs up. I'm going two thumbs up.
- 10:05Speaker 1: I'm Benny Bright's side on this now, not because I
- 10:07Speaker 1: like the player. I don't like the player. He's a bum.
- 10:10Speaker 1: I don't like the player. But if you're the Vikings
- 10:12Speaker 1: for me, they got a mensa? Is the GM right?
- 10:14Speaker 1: The gym of the Vikings is literally named mensa. So
- 10:17Speaker 1: the move here is you you go, and you've got
- 10:21Speaker 1: to judge the mark. Are there going to be multiple bidders? Here?
- 10:24Speaker 1: Go TV game show, Go classic TV game show? The
- 10:27Speaker 1: price is right and play that easy as one, two,
- 10:31Speaker 1: three game from the price is right there and the
- 10:34Speaker 1: Vikings will be given three blocks. They will be numbered one,
- 10:38Speaker 1: two and three, and then you rank as the Viking
- 10:43Speaker 1: front office. You then have to rank the three prizes
- 10:47Speaker 1: from least expensive to the most expensive. Now, in this
- 10:49Speaker 1: little exercise, that would be the Raiders, the Tennessee Titans,
- 10:54Speaker 1: and we'll say the New York Giants, and you've got
- 10:57Speaker 1: to rank them. Now, you get the bids right, and
- 10:59Speaker 1: you move on and then eventually you can win the
- 11:01Speaker 1: showcase showdown. So congratulations. Now we we again do not
- 11:06Speaker 1: endorse Sam Donald. The guy's a.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Stiff, but it's a.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Supply chain shortage at the quarterback position in the NFL,
- 11:15Speaker 1: and he's got a problem with his singing. A jig
- 11:17Speaker 1: that doesn't work when it's supposed to work, and it's
- 11:20Speaker 1: you know, I don't know whether it's stage fried or whatever,
- 11:22Speaker 1: but he's all right, you can the Vikings did a
- 11:24Speaker 1: good job of polishing the turd that is Sam Darnald,
- 11:28Speaker 1: and they fooled a lot of people with that turd.
- 11:32Speaker 1: But eventually the polish came off the turd, and that
- 11:36Speaker 1: was against the Lions and then against the Rams in
- 11:39Speaker 1: the playoffs. A right now, last word, we go to Indianapolis,
- 11:44Speaker 1: another team that is stuck near the bottom, not really
- 11:49Speaker 1: the middle, more ner to the bottom, not all the
- 11:52Speaker 1: way at the very bottom, but closer to the bottom
- 11:54Speaker 1: than they are to the middle. So I ring this
- 11:55Speaker 1: up because we're now hearing multiple suitors have been mentioned
- 11:59Speaker 1: for a a quarterback who's not very good, and one
- 12:03Speaker 1: of them is the Indianapolis Colts. I want to address
- 12:05Speaker 1: the Colts right now, because the Colts are supposedly considering
- 12:08Speaker 1: making a run at Daniel Jones. That's right, Danny Dimes,
- 12:17Speaker 1: the dime store quarterback, the stumblebum Daniel Jones. So I
- 12:22Speaker 1: ask you would that be a good fit Daniel Jones
- 12:28Speaker 1: to the Colts. So I'm shaking my head no, and
- 12:33Speaker 1: I'm yelling no. At the same time as I was
- 12:35Speaker 1: shaking my head no, I was yelling the word no. Now.
- 12:38Speaker 1: We do not doubt though that jim Ersay, the NEPO
- 12:44Speaker 1: baby who inherited the Colts from his dad, not that
- 12:47Speaker 1: jim Irsay would be on board. We totally get that
- 12:49Speaker 1: jim Irsay would be on board. Here. It doesn't work
- 12:52Speaker 1: on any level though, other than frugality. That's the only
- 12:57Speaker 1: Every other level does not work. Daniel Jones just does
- 13:00Speaker 1: not work there. The Colts, if they add a guy
- 13:03Speaker 1: like Daniel Jones, they would have to get a large
- 13:07Speaker 1: supply of narcan because.
- 13:11Speaker 2: They are going to overdose.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Now, they're not going to overdose on pills or pipes
- 13:17Speaker 1: or needles or syringes. They're going to overdose on suckbag quarterbacks.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Do you imagine a world where your quarterback room has
- 13:27Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson on one side and Danny Dimes on the other,
- 13:32Speaker 1: the vanilla vick of the NFL. Now, to give you
- 13:35Speaker 1: an idea of what these two cats did last year,
- 13:38Speaker 1: you have Anthony Richardson, who is at the very bottom
- 13:42Speaker 1: if you want to know the bottom point the sewer
- 13:45Speaker 1: of the quarterback position. That is Anthony Richardson. And it's
- 13:49Speaker 1: not even close, not even He is at the very
- 13:53Speaker 1: bottom when it comes to the quarterbacks, thirty ninth ranked
- 13:56Speaker 1: in the NFL. There's only thirty two teams. He was
- 13:58Speaker 1: the thirty ninth ranked quarterback among those qualified, lowest ranked
- 14:01Speaker 1: in the NFL. But wait, there's more. Daniel Jones was
- 14:05Speaker 1: so bad? How bad was he?
- 14:07Speaker 2: Was so bad?
- 14:08Speaker 1: With the gets. As you remember from the past NFL season,
- 14:11Speaker 1: Daniel Jones ranked thirty six out of thirty nine quarterbacks
- 14:16Speaker 1: in the NFL.
- 14:17Speaker 2: And unlike Anthony.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Richardson, who just got hurt and then stopped playing, the
- 14:21Speaker 1: difference is that Daniel Jones was so bad the Giants
- 14:25Speaker 1: excommunicated him from the franchise. They just got rid of him.
- 14:29Speaker 1: They said we're done, and then they tried to bury
- 14:31Speaker 1: him on the sidelines. He said, no, I would rather
- 14:34Speaker 1: hang out in Minnesota, eat Juicy Lucy's and be like
- 14:37Speaker 1: the fifth quarterback on the Vikings.
- 14:39Speaker 2: And so there you go. The Colts would be better off.
- 14:43Speaker 1: I recommend a different kind of suck, not that Daniel
- 14:46Speaker 1: Jones kind of suck, which we just know is suck, suck, sucked.
- 14:50Speaker 1: I would go with like a suck and a half
- 14:52Speaker 1: is what I would go with. And that's Kirk Cousins
- 14:54Speaker 1: meets all the criteria veterans season quarterback and the Falcons
- 14:58Speaker 1: are gonna release him at some point. Plays well in
- 15:03Speaker 1: domes generally speaking. Right, they got a dome there in Indianapolis.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Didn't play that well in Atlanta. There's your Guy Boom
- 15:10Speaker 1: problem solve. You know what, The Malard Think Tank has
- 15:12Speaker 1: all the answers. All you need to do is ask
- 15:14Speaker 1: the Malard Think Tank. It has all the answers. Now,
- 15:17Speaker 1: if you would like to be part, we will have

- 15:22Speaker 1: and then you can call up and yell and shout

- 19:25Speaker 1: I thought they were building me the corner. They're building
- 19:27Speaker 1: the ballpark for the a's at what was that? That
- 19:30Speaker 1: was Tropicana? Are you sure?
- 19:31Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 19:32Speaker 4: That was a That was the same time that the
- 19:34Speaker 4: Florida Tropicana got ruined.
- 19:37Speaker 5: That's gonna now be Bally's. That'll be the Bally's property
- 19:41Speaker 5: right there. Okay, there'll be a scoreboard on this later.
- 19:45Speaker 5: But now we don't have a date supermarket. See, but
- 19:47Speaker 5: what do we think? It's sometime in July, probably right July.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Maybe late June, early July.
- 19:53Speaker 5: No, No, well, I mean, Coop says, no, I will
- 19:56Speaker 5: be I will be in Vegas.
- 19:58Speaker 1: It will be a you know, he's already booked up.
- 20:02Speaker 5: He just wanna Yeah, that's that's when the World Series
- 20:04Speaker 5: of Poker is going on.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Oh all right, well we'll have to figure out that.
- 20:08Speaker 1: If we don't have a date Supermarket. See, we'll work
- 20:10Speaker 1: on that with our our guy, our hook up in Vegas.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Who you think he's listening right now? Is he still working?
- 20:16Speaker 1: I don't know. I want to, mister Luciano writes in
- 20:20Speaker 1: He says ten out of ten on the Mallard monologue,
- 20:23Speaker 1: and some KFC on the side nick that raising cash.
- 20:27Speaker 1: If they know better, the Vikings should just cut ties
- 20:30Speaker 1: with Sam Darnoth. Well, no, they don't want to keep him.
- 20:32Speaker 1: They just want to tag him and then trade him
- 20:34Speaker 1: for some crap is what they want to do. That's
- 20:37Speaker 1: the that's the plan right there. Ryan rightes in from
- 20:42Speaker 1: San Diego and uh series he said, I disagree with
- 20:47Speaker 1: you on Matthew Stafford still being elite. He's a top
- 20:51Speaker 1: five quarterback in the NFL. The last two drives in
- 20:54Speaker 1: Philly in snow almost perfect? Yes, almost perfect? Is the
- 20:59Speaker 1: Rams eliminated? Almost perfect? Yes, we ship out drama Kelly
- 21:04Speaker 1: Stafford and bring in drama fleece the Giants. Molik neighbors
- 21:09Speaker 1: best o line three, number three pick and a third
- 21:13Speaker 1: rounder this year, and then he wants Ryan a second
- 21:16Speaker 1: round pick in twenty twenty six and a first round
- 21:19Speaker 1: pick in twenty twenty seven. So Ryan, I would advise
- 21:21Speaker 1: you to stay away from the mini bar, that would
- 21:23Speaker 1: be what I would advise you, because that's pretty outrageous
- 21:26Speaker 1: and that ain't gonna happen. Maybe Stafford's worth like a
- 21:31Speaker 1: conditional third round pick or something like that at this point,
- 21:34Speaker 1: that's what he's worth. That's the market. He's old and
- 21:37Speaker 1: you don't gonna get that much for him. And mister
- 21:40Speaker 1: Irrigation writes in from the Belly of the Beast in Houston.
- 21:44Speaker 1: He says, have I missed your take on the greatest
- 21:47Speaker 1: free agent move in Beantown baseball history? Who's playing third
- 21:54Speaker 1: base in Beantown looks like a locker room bro ha ha. Yeah,
- 21:59Speaker 1: that was good drama. We talked about it. Thanks for
- 22:01Speaker 1: listening to mister Irrigation. In a previous episode of the show,
- 22:05Speaker 1: we did discuss the Rafaeld Devas story that will pop
- 22:08Speaker 1: up on our radar later. But Devers saying, I know
- 22:12Speaker 1: I'm staying at third base. I'm staying at third base.
- 22:15Speaker 1: And even though he is Edward Scissors hands at third
- 22:18Speaker 1: base and butterfingers absolute Butterfingers Devers there at third base
- 22:24Speaker 1: because I'm not going I'm staying right there now. Tacoma.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Drew writes in and says, Ben, listen carefully, Rogers, Aaron
- 22:31Speaker 1: Rodgers career was over the second as Achilles snapped like
- 22:35Speaker 1: a rubber band. How dare you compare Rogers and Stafford.
- 22:42Speaker 1: I don't think it's outrageous at all. Matthew Stafford has
- 22:46Speaker 1: played well at times with the Rams, right, He's had
- 22:49Speaker 1: some good years with the Rams. Last year. I thought
- 22:52Speaker 1: there were stretches where he looked pretty blah. There were
- 22:56Speaker 1: some stretches there where he was not that great, and
- 22:58Speaker 1: they had all these great playmakers around him. I suppose
- 23:00Speaker 1: that the offensive line was wonderful and all that and
- 23:05Speaker 1: left a lot to be desired he did. Now again,
- 23:08Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, you might be right, you might be done
- 23:10Speaker 1: and all that. Who knows, But for the talk show,
- 23:13Speaker 1: would be wonderful to have Rogers here to, you know,
- 23:16Speaker 1: close by, and we're gonna have some fun with that.
- 23:19Speaker 1: But really, wherever Rogers is, we'll have a good time.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Now an NFL fan base threatening to boycott because there's
- 23:27Speaker 1: some rumors bouncing around that their team's gonnadd a quarterback.
- 23:29Speaker 2: We're talking about the.
- 23:30Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers, they Insers, and there was a report
- 23:35Speaker 1: from some quasi NFL insider based in Pittsburgh. I don't
- 23:40Speaker 1: even know this guy is, but this thing started bouncing around.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Some of you idiots sent this to me that the
- 23:46Speaker 1: Steelers are considered the addition of a quarterback. How I
- 23:51Speaker 1: mentioned in the top of the hour Mallard monologue, and
- 23:55Speaker 1: that would be none other than Daniel Jones. Keeping up
- 24:01Speaker 1: with the Jones, the Jones there that they say that
- 24:05Speaker 1: Jones would be a good fit for the Steelers offensive system,
- 24:11Speaker 1: the son of the gazillionaire Arthur Smith runs, and that
- 24:15Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin would be on board because Daniel Jones is
- 24:19Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback. Well he's actually mobile, he's not a
- 24:21Speaker 1: quarterback because a quarterback actually does good things. Daniel Jones
- 24:26Speaker 1: doesn't do good things. He is pretending to be It's
- 24:29Speaker 1: the masquerade ball with Daniel Jones pretending to be a quarterback.
- 24:34Speaker 1: That guy stinks a stinks now. Terry in England says,
- 24:41Speaker 1: please make it happen, Ben Aaron Rodgers to the Lambs
- 24:45Speaker 1: would be perfect. Yeah, and you're right, Terry, it would
- 24:49Speaker 1: be perfect to be good for me and be good
- 24:52Speaker 1: for you because the Rams will continue their domination over
- 24:55Speaker 1: your forty nine ers.
- 24:57Speaker 2: And you were about to lock up and the next
- 25:00Speaker 2: a couple of.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Weeks or the next couple of months, you were gonna
- 25:03Speaker 1: lock up proc Perty, a marginal player who doesn't make
- 25:06Speaker 1: players around him better, to a long term, mega money
- 25:10Speaker 1: contract that he does not deserve. And I will then
- 25:13Speaker 1: laugh at you, and I will actually need some medication
- 25:16Speaker 1: because I will take part in shotenfreude. A lot of
- 25:21Speaker 1: shot in freude. When that happened, that'll be so good man.
- 25:26Speaker 1: Is that going to be fun? Fun, fun, fun fun. Yes,
- 25:30Speaker 1: a lot of shot in freude. There you go, Ryan
- 25:34Speaker 1: says he wrote back. He said the Giants are desperate
- 25:36Speaker 1: for a quarterback who can actually throw touchdowns. The Rams
- 25:40Speaker 1: should fleece them now. Steve writes in, says, Matthew Stafford
- 25:45Speaker 1: played with broken ribs the last month of the season.
- 25:48Speaker 1: I'm praying two more years of Matthew Stafford. Well, Matthew
- 25:52Speaker 1: Stafford will yet again have broken ribs. That's a yearly
- 25:56Speaker 1: occurrence for Matthew Stafford.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Let's go act.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. I can back to the phones.
- 26:00Speaker 1: I haven't taken a call yet. Let's see eeny meanie
- 26:03Speaker 1: miney man got a full board. Let's go to Andre,
- 26:05Speaker 1: who's in the Commonwealth. Hello Andre, welcome, Hello Ben.
- 26:10Speaker 7: It's good to be with you. List the situation we
- 26:13Speaker 7: got going on in Los Angeles. Now, I'm now neither
- 26:16Speaker 7: a Nye or Willis is in favor of Aaron Rodgers
- 26:20Speaker 7: going to the Ram. That's not what they need, okay,
- 26:22Speaker 7: And they certainly don't need Daniel Jones. What they need
- 26:24Speaker 7: to do is let Sean McVay works his magic. Okay,
- 26:27Speaker 7: he's big on a player development. Who could name anybody
- 26:31Speaker 7: on their roster this year after they like going Aaron Dunton,
- 26:33Speaker 7: not me, not anybody else, but somehow they made it
- 26:36Speaker 7: to the playoffs. They made noise, okay, let him develop
- 26:39Speaker 7: the quarterback of the future. Okay, and that's the way
- 26:42Speaker 7: they need to go forward.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Man, No, no, that's a bad take. No, No, it's
- 26:45Speaker 1: a bad take. Yeah, he likes as much as people
- 26:48Speaker 1: say he's the quarterback whisperer, like he inherited Jared Goff
- 26:52Speaker 1: from the previous coaching staff and golf. He got golf
- 26:55Speaker 1: to a certain point. That was it. But then he
- 26:57Speaker 1: had a veteran in Matthew Stafford. It's not like he's
- 27:00Speaker 1: he had a little success with Baker Mayfield. But it's
- 27:02Speaker 1: not like he's rolled out young quarterback after young quarterback.
- 27:06Speaker 1: He said, mostly older players.
- 27:08Speaker 7: Okay. But the antithesis of that is Aaron Rodgers coming
- 27:12Speaker 7: into town. I see Willis? Do you hear him in
- 27:14Speaker 7: the background?
- 27:16Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 27:16Speaker 1: People think Willis is fake people. I was getting emails
- 27:18Speaker 1: that's a fake dog. That's not a real dog that
- 27:21Speaker 1: Willis is a fake bogus dog.
- 27:23Speaker 2: People are upset.
- 27:24Speaker 1: They think that you are pulling Shenanigans with a fake
- 27:27Speaker 1: Willis your thoughts listen, okay, so you can hear.
- 27:30Speaker 7: First of all, he doesn't need us like that.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Take all right, I mean, well people can play there.
- 27:34Speaker 1: They're complaining. Andre, They're saying, well, wait a minute, and
- 27:36Speaker 1: you've called the show for a long time, and we
- 27:38Speaker 1: thank you for being a loyal minion of the show
- 27:40Speaker 1: and a supporter and all that. But for a long
- 27:44Speaker 1: time you said you had Willis, and Willison never made
- 27:46Speaker 1: any noise. Now, all of a sudden, the conspiracy is, well,
- 27:50Speaker 1: what changed? Why all of a sudden are we getting
- 27:53Speaker 1: a voice us? Willis the dog? Like, what is different?
- 27:56Speaker 1: Nothing's changed? Therefore they think shenanigans.
- 28:00Speaker 7: No, No, the situation that's changed. It well, doesn't appreciate it.
- 28:04Speaker 7: I told you either maut or he's a hound dog
- 28:06Speaker 7: from Georgia. We're happy to have him in the Commonwealth.
- 28:08Speaker 7: But Ben, I'm a snacker, you know what I mean.
- 28:11Speaker 7: Late night, you know, I gotta have my snacker roofs
- 28:12Speaker 7: I got.
- 28:13Speaker 1: You know, keep keeping what's the go to snack? Two
- 28:16Speaker 1: thirty in the morning. What's your go to snack? What
- 28:18Speaker 1: do you go for?
- 28:19Speaker 7: You go to that? Right now? We got a lot
- 28:21Speaker 7: of grolla bars, the granola bars. That keeps me going. Actually,
- 28:23Speaker 7: I just made myself a peanut butter and jelly. You
- 28:26Speaker 7: made myself.
- 28:26Speaker 1: That's a that's a that's a solid thing.
- 28:29Speaker 3: Man.
- 28:29Speaker 1: Back back in the days before I started this fugazy diet,
- 28:32Speaker 1: im on, I used to love the late night snack
- 28:34Speaker 1: and peanut butter and jelly. Now you gotta have a
- 28:36Speaker 1: little like something salty on the side there. You gotta
- 28:39Speaker 1: add a little salt to the side. That will really
- 28:41Speaker 1: kick up the PBJ right there.
- 28:44Speaker 7: Indeed, indeed, so right, well, you know you can't go
- 28:46Speaker 7: to bit on the peanut butter and jelly. And I
- 28:48Speaker 7: know you got a lot of colors. I don't want
- 28:49Speaker 7: to go, you know, but I got a look caught,
- 28:50Speaker 7: I look caught on the oven. You know something, you know,
- 28:52Speaker 7: some seafood.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Oh, not only do you do the peanut butter, you're
- 28:56Speaker 1: cooking up some seafood as well. Man, You're you're going.
- 29:00Speaker 7: Andre you know what I mean, because you don't want
- 29:02Speaker 7: to You can't have just the you know, I need
- 29:04Speaker 7: something I learned to lessen the hard But you're you're
- 29:06Speaker 7: Willison in the background. He's got a snack of roofs.
- 29:08Speaker 7: But that's why for the people out there he didn't get.
- 29:11Speaker 7: When Willis doesn't get a snack of rule, that's when
- 29:13Speaker 7: he gets a little bit angry. And so that's why
- 29:15Speaker 7: he's thinking.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So you want Willis to make if
- 29:18Speaker 1: you want Willis to make noise, then you just have
- 29:20Speaker 1: to you know, he needs a snag. And if he
- 29:21Speaker 1: doesn't get to.
- 29:22Speaker 7: Snack, right, he denied, so that that's why. So right
- 29:26Speaker 7: now he's Quiety's stable. But listen, rams, learn the lesson. Okay,
- 29:30Speaker 7: so you heard what learn the lesson of wurr yous
- 29:34Speaker 7: all what the Jets went through with Aaron Rodgers. You
- 29:36Speaker 7: don't need that sort of drama. Stay together, keep the continuity,
- 29:40Speaker 7: Sean McVay. Bring in somebody that you can rely on,
- 29:43Speaker 7: and then you're gonna say.
- 29:44Speaker 1: Willis, Okay, Willis, I appreciate being.
- 29:50Speaker 7: Of mallem Melissa's body in my heart, my son, Willis,
- 29:52Speaker 7: We're gonna be back.
- 29:53Speaker 1: With there he goes, there's Andre and his dog, Willis, Willis,
- 29:58Speaker 1: Willis is it's really like his bar Mitzvah. Willis is
- 30:02Speaker 1: now becoming what do they call male dogs? A man?
- 30:05Speaker 2: Yes, a male dog.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Well, he was probably a male dog before, but now
- 30:09Speaker 1: it's the age of reason now it's yes, very exciting
- 30:14Speaker 1: for Willis the dog. How amazing, How freaking amazing is that? Well,
- 30:20Speaker 1: this is also kind of amusing the political humor that
- 30:24Speaker 1: does not work. Now this is more of a visual
- 30:26Speaker 1: thing than an audio thing, but we do have some audio,
- 30:29Speaker 1: so I want to play this will take you to Seattle,
- 30:33Speaker 1: where the mayor of Seattle was speaking recently. Now, you
- 30:38Speaker 1: don't likely live in Seattle. We are on there, but
- 30:40Speaker 1: you probably, even if you live there, you might not
- 30:42Speaker 1: even know who the mayor is. A lot of people
- 30:43Speaker 1: don't even know who the mayor is.
- 30:45Speaker 2: So the mayor of Seattle is a guy named Bruce Harrold.
- 30:48Speaker 1: I believe his name. And this week.
- 30:51Speaker 2: He had the state of the City address.
- 30:55Speaker 1: And at one point he stopped and he went to
- 30:59Speaker 1: grab a prop. In the middle of the state of
- 31:03Speaker 1: the City of Seattle address, the mayor he went off
- 31:08Speaker 1: the plan. He picked up a basketball and well, listen
- 31:14Speaker 1: to what happened to a Listen.
- 31:17Speaker 6: Right now, at this moment, I have an announcement I.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Make okay, oh, hold a basketball.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Look at that.
- 31:30Speaker 2: Man here it.
- 31:31Speaker 6: Is I'm just kiddingazed this or, Mayor, I got you
- 31:36Speaker 6: site all right?
- 31:43Speaker 1: Well there, yeah, is the mayor more of a visual
- 31:46Speaker 1: thing than anight, but trust me, he held up at basketball.
- 31:48Speaker 1: So everyone's assuming, oh, this is gonna be then announcement,
- 31:51Speaker 1: the State of the City address. The Mayor of Seattle's
- 31:54Speaker 1: announcing that the X Man and Tom Chambers and Nate
- 31:59Speaker 1: mc millerer coming back. The SuperSonics are back, baby. And
- 32:07Speaker 1: then he was like, well, you know, so it was
- 32:08Speaker 1: a long speech and I wanted to break up the speech, and.
- 32:12Speaker 2: He really cracked himself up.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Though. Yeah, well, politicians love to laugh at political political joke,
- 32:18Speaker 1: so well, any joke of politician makes is a political joke, right,
- 32:21Speaker 1: Isn't that by default? If you're a politician, you can't
- 32:24Speaker 1: make any other joke than a political joke, because anything
- 32:27Speaker 1: you say as a hack politician is of a political nature.
- 32:31Speaker 1: I believe that to be the case. Anyway, it is
