  Speaker 2: don't know why DJ spin Patrick there in San Diego.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know why he would send me a message.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Oh it was his birthday, that must be why. But we
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: don't do birthday shoutouts, so we can and we cannot
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: do that. Sorry about that. We can, though, tell you
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: about Draft Kings sports Book, which is the number one
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: sports book for live betting, and it's built for.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: This time of the year.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: What do you say, come on now, hello here in
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: April and all that right now, use the promo code
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Mallord to claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: promo code Mallard. At Draft Kings, the crown is yours.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna start with some football. It was a
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: big injury in basketball. It's not a I don't believe
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: it's a season ending injury, although it could be depending
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: on Yeah, but we're gonna start with football because that's
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: what pays the bills around these parts, and we like
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: to have the lights on all that stuff. So the Raiders,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: which are like a team that used to be good,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: you know, and then they sucked for a generation. They're
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: just an embarrassment, just an absolute investment by the Raiders
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: that made a move in free agency. You're like, well, Ben,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: there's no one available in free agency. How could they
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: have made a move? All good player have already signed.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I know, I know. So if you haven't heard about this,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: perhaps not.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: We have learned the Raiders have agreed to a deal
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: with not your cousin, not my cousin, Kirk Cousins. Yep, yep,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that guy. Yeah, man, start up the old U haul.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: There the ex redskin Viking and Falcon quarterback now heading
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to just outside Area fifty one, and he will continue
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: his career. This comes just a couple of days after
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Clint Kubiak had mentioned he wanted an adult to mentor
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the next Raider quarterback of the future, and toda, here
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: we are. So the contract, which has a lot of
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: funny money in it's essentially.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: A one year contract. I know you're very.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Concerned about the finances of Kirk Cousins. Twenty million dollars
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: a minimum salary, minimum salary one point three million from
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Vegas and ten million dollar roster bonus. That's gotta be nice, man.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: They still give out bonuses to some of these places.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: And the rest of the money will be paid out
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: by the Falcons. So they'll be paying out the rest
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: there who fired Cousins earlier this offseason. So that is
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Is Kirk Cousins in upgrade? We assume he's going to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: be QB one and the starting QB there. So is
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins an upgrade from Gino Smith for the Raiders?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So I've got comfort food, Vincent van Gol and cigar
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: shop and we will combine all of these things together
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna go skinny dipping is what we're gonna
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: do that We're not all right? So a all right, listen,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins upgrade all that stuff. It's a more attractive name,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: does that make sense?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: A better name.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Cousins has had more high water marks.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: In his NFL career. He's got more sizzle, got more
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Gino is more drizzle. Gino's more drizzle. And yet when
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you peel back the label, here's the mind blowing part
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: of this rather sticky situation the Raiders find themselves in again,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: when you peel back the label, it's the same product.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: It's just different packaging. That's it. It's the same product.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: And if you do the blind Pepsi challenge. If you
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: go back to last season, Cousins in Atlanta, Geno Smith
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: in Vegas, Gino Smith had an eighty four point seven
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: passer rating. Cousins was eighty four point eight. That's not
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: a gap. That's a rounding error, is what that is. Well,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: we said, well that's only one year. Who cares about that?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: The last three years that's a fair amount of time, right, Well,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: it's a fair amount of time. So Cousins ninety two
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: point two passer rating, Gino Smith ninety point four. I
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: know it's a lot of numbers for you to process
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: because we're doing a radio show and you can't look
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: at it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I got it. It's my hair brain plan.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: But it's essentially am radio versus like a staticy FM station.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: It isn't an upgrade like Tom Brady, what are you doing?
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: You check the Kirk Cousins thermometer and it's ninety seven
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: point nine degrees. That's the average temperature of a human being.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: It's room temperature. Quarterbacking and Cousins is the human equivalent
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: of Eh, hey, how's cousin doing it?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Mah? Really that eh?
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Eh?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: So it's the NFL's comfort food, safe, bland, forgettable.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: At this point, there was a time when.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Cousins was actually seen as a solid NFL quarterback. Just
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: avoid Monday night football and all that, and then avoid
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the big games, and he's fine on a Saturday or
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: on Saturday, a Sunday afternoon at one o'clock when he
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: played for the Vikings at noon. And that's it. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: so it's it's not really progress. You essentially hired the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: doppelganger of Geno Smith to play quarterback for the Raiders.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It's not really an upgrade. It's copy and paste, roster building.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: It's a costume change. The same movie, same movie, same ending,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: just a different actor, repeating, regurgitating the.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Lousy script, if you know what I mean.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Now turning the page, but not far because it is
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the hour of Kirk Cousins. So keeping the rat tat
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: tat going. The question now is can you give me
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the word, give me the word that describes Kirk Cousins
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: sojourn around the NFL as he started with the Redskins
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and then bounced off the play for the Vikings and
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the Falcons. So now he's going to his fourth NFL team,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: So what is the word for all that. My word,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: our bit bagger is my word. Kirk Cousins is running.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: It's probably he's going to Vegas. He's running in Ocean's
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: eleven financial heist in plain daylight.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: It's wild.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: It's a magic carpet right right across the NFL, stopping
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: in every big city that has a check book and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: will sign one over to him. All he has is
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: a pulse at this point, and it is a generational grift.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: It is It is no only way to say it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: For Cousins. Think of it like.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: The famous Vincent van Go painting the Starry Night. In
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: this case, it's the starry night of money extraction. And
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: you look around, You're like, well, Cousins has already stacked
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: over three hundred and twenty one million. He's third all time.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Did you know that Cousins is third all time on
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the money list on field earnings, third all time? And
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you break it down and it's like, whoa, how did
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: that happened? And he's closing in. By the end of
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: this year, If my malord math is correct, Kirk Cousins
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: will pass Tom Brady by and have made more money
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: on field than Tom Brady and he will trail only
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: La Ram quarterback Matthew Stafford for the penthouse of money, money, money,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: And even when the engine sputters, and it often does sputter,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: it's a balancing act. You're not winning, Kirk Cousins. When
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: the engine sputters, the ATM fortunately still spits out a
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: lot of cash, a lot of cash right there. Absolutely
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: now why because Cousins, he doesn't sign contracts. He's not
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: just your normal Hey, I just don't care how much
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I make and all that, and bumbling along.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: And all that.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: No, what he has done, through his agent is install
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: escape patches. For example, cousins agent went down to Walgreens
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: or CVS and had a pill tossed into the Raiders
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: deal just in case, j I c just in case,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: just in case he overperforms. Cousin goes on an amazing
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: run and everything's all great and rosy and all that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: So then he can either keep the Raiders, can keep
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: the contract and pay him a lot more, many more pasos,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: or activate the poison pill, the trapdoor or the fine
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: print written in invisible ink.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: And be free, be free. It's a masterclass.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: It's not it really is not a contract. It's a
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: treasure map. It is, and it's not even Pinky promises.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: It's beyond that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins is not playing football, He's playing Monopoly. And
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: a football game and Monopoly take about the same amount
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: of time, and Cousins owns he's like he's in on Boardwalk.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: He's got boardwalk. H all right, last word here, So
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to the Mendoza line, Mendoza line.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: We go a lot of blissful ignorance around the Mendoza line.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: So the question here is what are the Raiders trying
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: to communicate here with adding Kirk Cousins, What are they
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: trying to communicate to Fernando Mendozo. So I'm gonna get
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: on my soapbox here, so give me a second. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: get my soapbox here, and my god, So they signed
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins the Raiders hours after Fernando Mendoza went out
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: and participated in the pro day. Does that seem subtle
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: to you, because it doesn't seem subtle to me. So
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: you went out there the Bloomington, Indiana rah rah, here
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: we go zip the football all over the place, and
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: you saw that, and immediately the next.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Day is like, we got to get this other guy.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: That is a trip to the cigar shop in the
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: very back on the right hand side. If your futs
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: around in the back there, that's where they sell the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: wacky Tobacci in the very back there. And so the
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Raiders are essentially screaming from the top of the spear
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: in Vegas. They're screaming, you're not that guy, Pal, You're
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: not that guy. To Fernando Mendozo.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Number one overall quarterbacks.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: They start, that's the deal. It's plug and play. We've
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: talked about this in previous episodes of the show. You
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: plug him in, you play them, and that's it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: It's out of the box.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: No assembly required, all of those things, no assembly required.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: You have to go back a generation to find a
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: top pick that did not play right away.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: That's Elijah Manning. And what did that get the Giants? Nothing?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Eli Manning a five hundred player, just a mediocre quarterback.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: In the NFL and a couple.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Of lucky breaks in the playoffs, but other than that,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: just complete zero. And they sat him. Shouldn't they have
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: gotten more from Eli Manning than what they got. He
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: wasn't very good in the Giants regular season games, but
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: they sat him, so he should have been good.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I don't understand it. Or you all tell me if
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you sit these guys they're great.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: When you look at the data, that's not the case,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: all right, And I tell you God, bless the fans,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: all the Raider fans. I am having so much fun.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: You are so stupid. I love all of you.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: You're so dumb.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: And I'm already getting the messages. I did a rant
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: about this the other day and I was like, I
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: was getting messages. Well, you know, let them sit. That's
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: smart football. That's why Tom Brady is so good.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Let him sit.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: And my rebuttal is capital D delusional, Capital D delusional,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: absolutely delusional. There is no proven advantage to parking Fernando
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Mendoza and say sit down over there, get some hemorrhoids.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: We'll get you some cream, get some You're gonna get
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: some hemorrhids. And I believe Cousins is thirty seven.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I believe.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: So the real issue here, the real issue on this one,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: and everyone's dancing around it, is pedigree. Tom Brady does
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: not believe Fernando Mendoza is a true and legitimate number
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: one pick. And it's not what he says, it's his
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: actions it's his actions that he's not there. And this
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: backs up and it's hot take validation that Fernanda Mendoza
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: is a mid round talent and the Raiders are gonna
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: take him because they have to take him and they
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: can't miss out and he could be good and Foamo
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: and all that crap, and they've already signed it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: They gut to start, Kirk Cousins, How embarrassing is this?
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: How embarrassing for Fernando Mendoza, Tom Braden, I'm leaving the guy.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: He's unseasoned ground beef.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: You want prime rib you want prime you want a Porterhouse,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: you want a Ribby. He's ground beef that could be
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: worth now it could be Salisbury's teak, right, which is
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the same thing.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: But just go with it.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: And the organization is telling you with this move, and
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: those of us that are objective and.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Not fanboys, we laugh like hyenus off to the side
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: of the room here, We're like, that's great.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: And some of you can keep pretending that this is
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: some kind of master play by the Raiders and redevelopment
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: of the quarterback room and all this bull crap.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And what's going on and on.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: You're completely wrong and I love the fact that you're
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: able to just sit there and roast marshmallows and sing
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: a Kuna matata and knock yourself out. There's nothing if
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: you go back and people bring up certain quarterbacks that
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: said the number one overall pick, you got to go
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: back a generation the last time this happened. A generation
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: has come into the world since the last time something.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Like this happened.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: So anyway, it is the Ben Malar Show as we
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: steamroll through the overnight, and.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: A reminder coming up later this month. April twenty fifth.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: So a little over three weeks away, will be the
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Matherar Meet and Greet at a venue two be determined
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: in the Greater Cincinnati area.

• 17:06
  Speaker 2: date on that. And then later on in May, a

• 28:05
  Speaker 2: you want him praising That luca down Goes, luca, down Goes.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Luca so what, Happened, well the early report is that
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: the Hammy miami during the third quarter and he injured
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: left hamstring third quarter and down for the count the.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Start he was able to walk off the court on
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: his own he did look like he was in. Pain
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: although he's a great, Thespian, luca he's always gyrating and
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: playing to the. Officials so you don't know what's real
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: and what's not. Real that part of it you don't.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Know you do, know, though that is depending how these seeds.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Go and you're gonna have to run Through Oklahoma.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: City Or San antonio pretty early if you're a team
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: like The.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Lakers and The thunder never trailed in that, game and
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: they led by as many as forty six. Points forty six, points.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: So, embarrassing so embarrassing for The.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Lakers so, anyway that's the big story and the, report
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: and there's a couple of things bouncing, around you, know
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: these early. Reports you know who knows.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Some timelines projected timelines For. Luca they say.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: That he could miss up to that's weasel, terminology up
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: to six, weeks one of the top. Injury you, know
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: his online doctors take that for what it's. Worth the
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: online doctors give medical opinions without actually being around the.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Patient they say that the injury they, project he'll be
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: out if it's A grade, one it's only going to
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: be a couple of. Weeks grade, two that would be
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: a three to six week. Situation he was able to walk,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: off so it's conceivable will be a couple of. WEEKS
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: i would, say out of an abundance of, Caution luca
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: will not play another game in the regular. Season that's
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: my expert medical analysis with no medical, training ALTHOUGH i
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: did do a talk, show so as a talk show,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: HOST i.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Feel Like i'm more than.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Qualified you don't need to hear some renowned physical. Therapist
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: it's just my opinion and what better way to approach
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: it than. That AS i, Thought luca would never get
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: hurt because he remember he was built Like adonis in
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: the off, season and he was on the cover of
• 30:35
