- 0:06Speaker 1: is ready for you. And one of the big storylines
- 0:09Speaker 1: over the weekend the Texas Longhorns losing by a touchdown
- 0:13Speaker 1: to Ohio State. Did quarterback Arch Manning get exposed? Or
- 0:19Speaker 1: is this just a masterclass on defense by the Buckeyes,
- 0:22Speaker 1: the reigning champions? And do you feel bad for arch
- 0:25Speaker 1: Manning having the immense pressure in Austin? And should we
- 0:31Speaker 1: wait till the end of the season to judge him?
- 0:34Speaker 1: That's what his coach says. And is there a redemption
- 0:37Speaker 1: arc for arch Manning? Or is this the beginning of
- 0:40Speaker 1: a bust narrative for the next in line for the
- 0:44Speaker 1: Manning family? And did arch Manning play himself out of
- 0:47Speaker 1: the Heisman Race? We'll tackle all of those questions right
- 0:51Speaker 1: now in our number two, the Arch Death March.
- 0:57Speaker 2: What was that? My God?
- 0:58Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben

- 1:05Speaker 3: We are in the air everywhere as we burst into speech,
- 1:11Speaker 3: and we have big, amazed balls to talk about coast
- 1:14Speaker 3: to coast, border to motor and beyond.
- 1:17Speaker 1: On the vast and excessively powerful microphones of FSR amminating
- 1:23Speaker 1: live even on a labor day, as we are from

- 1:32Speaker 1: approved by Viva Los Vicki and Shane the truck driver
- 1:36Speaker 1: stuck in a fog bank in South Dakota questioning the
- 1:40Speaker 1: time space continuum right now. This portion of the Ben

- 1:45Speaker 2: At ti Iraq. For over forty years.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
- 1:51Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
- 1:53Speaker 1: free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
- 1:57Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation Tire.
- 2:01Speaker 2: The Way Tire Buying.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Show would be So don't bear the lead mo Man,
- 2:05Speaker 1: one of our old bosses like to say, so, we'll
- 2:07Speaker 1: start with this the Horseshoe. There was the game, the
- 2:11Speaker 1: game of the weekend in college football, as number one
- 2:16Speaker 1: in Texas, traveling with the Buck Guy State to match
- 2:20Speaker 1: up with the reigning champions. Although there is no carryover
- 2:24Speaker 1: rosters change, coaching staff change, but there they were number
- 2:29Speaker 1: three Ohio State playing hosts to Texas and the much
- 2:32Speaker 1: baallyhooed matchup.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Were you watching, you were not of course you were.
- 2:38Speaker 1: It was a day to forget for the Longhorns, all
- 2:41Speaker 1: the build up, all the anticipation, and they went out
- 2:45Speaker 1: there and what was that? Could not really do much
- 2:49Speaker 1: of anything on offense for the entire game, only seven
- 2:52Speaker 1: points the buck guys defense ruling the roost a fourteen
- 2:58Speaker 1: to seven slop knocker of a win in Columbus for
- 3:02Speaker 1: the Buckeyes of Ohio State. Your subplot, though, that is
- 3:06Speaker 1: where the story is. Let's not kid oursos Well do
- 3:09Speaker 1: you talk just about Ohio State. That's not where the
- 3:11Speaker 1: good story is. The good story. You know where the
- 3:14Speaker 1: good story is arch Manning. And I'm glad I got
- 3:18Speaker 1: those monologues in the last couple of weeks about arch Manning.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Holy crap, that guy sucks man What a turd. Arch Manning,
- 3:25Speaker 1: Let's call it like it is here.
- 3:27Speaker 2: That's that's the guy everyone's been hyping up. Arch Manning.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Wow? So arch Manning.
- 3:34Speaker 1: He was the consensus Heisman Trophy favorite, which tells you
- 3:37Speaker 1: nobody knows anything.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Dumb du dum, dumb dumb.
- 3:41Speaker 1: There he was all the hype and got out there,
- 3:44Speaker 1: arch Manning and it was his world. And how did
- 3:47Speaker 1: he do like a house of cards, came tumbling down, down, down,
- 3:50Speaker 1: down down. He crumbled under the weight of the immense pressure. Now,
- 3:53Speaker 1: if you add up all of the yards, he ended
- 3:55Speaker 1: up with two hundred and eight total yards. Although the
- 3:59Speaker 1: numbers are even leading, even the final numbers are misleading.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Arch Manning ending up with one hundred and seventy yards,
- 4:04Speaker 1: ten rushing attempts for thirty eight yards, and a loss.
- 4:08Speaker 1: To begin as a starter in Austin his first job
- 4:13Speaker 1: as the starter, he started a couple of.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Games last year, but he was not the man.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Now he's the man, and now he is a loser
- 4:19Speaker 1: to begin his time with Texas. So question, as we
- 4:22Speaker 1: discussed the question, did arch Manning get exposed by Ohio
- 4:28Speaker 1: State or was this just a masterclass by the buck
- 4:31Speaker 1: guys defense in this particular game. So I've got commandeered
- 4:35Speaker 1: biblical and crayon, and we will combine all of these things.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Together and we are going to make your.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Babushkas favorite favorite chocolate, favorite chocolate. So number one, I said,
- 4:49Speaker 1: number one.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Arch Manning.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Let's call it like it is. Everyone was watching. He
- 4:55Speaker 1: was the story and it was like junior high school.
- 4:59Speaker 1: And he got panned he got panted. All of college
- 5:03Speaker 1: football going wild and all my god. Manning's debut it
- 5:06Speaker 1: went over about it, well, his debut was a full
- 5:08Speaker 1: time starter for the Texas Longhorns. Was about as successful
- 5:12Speaker 1: as when Google put out Google Glass. Do you remember
- 5:15Speaker 1: that a few years back? Google Glass? Nobody really wanted it,
- 5:18Speaker 1: it did.
- 5:18Speaker 2: It was terrible.
- 5:20Speaker 1: You want to go old school Coca Cola back in
- 5:23Speaker 1: the day they said we're gonna change Coca Cola new Coke.
- 5:26Speaker 1: And that was a nightmare. That was a disaster and horrific, horrific.
- 5:32Speaker 1: That's what it felt like. All the hype, all the sizzle,
- 5:36Speaker 1: all the build up, everything, and then the curtain went
- 5:39Speaker 1: up and the flag is up, let's start the race.
- 5:43Speaker 1: And turns out the car did not leave the starting gate.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Man you waited for that whole Maning kid thing to
- 5:53Speaker 1: take off right the next in the.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Lineage or the Manning family.
- 5:56Speaker 4: There.
- 5:57Speaker 1: He was supposed to walk on water. He's a Manning.
- 5:59Speaker 1: That's what Manning's do. They walk on water. Instead, Arch
- 6:03Speaker 1: Manning went out there and he sank like if you
- 6:05Speaker 1: drop a safe in the East River in New York,
- 6:09Speaker 1: right to the bottom, right to the bottom. How bad
- 6:12Speaker 1: was it. So Manning commandeered the vomit comet. He was
- 6:17Speaker 1: right there. He was in the front of the comet,
- 6:20Speaker 1: right there, flying the vomit comet. Now, because the final
- 6:24Speaker 1: numbers are very misleading, because you've got to look at
- 6:26Speaker 1: the context of the game. For the first seventy five
- 6:30Speaker 1: percent of the I you saw it. You know what
- 6:31Speaker 1: I'm about to say. So the first three cores of
- 6:33Speaker 1: the game, Arch Manning completed nine of fifteen passes for
- 6:37Speaker 1: thirty eight yards. Thirty eight yards passing going to the
- 6:41Speaker 1: fourth quarter against Matt Patricia, the lion trash, Matt Patricia,
- 6:48Speaker 1: the old rocket Scientists on the Patriots, Matt Patricia's Buckey's defense,
- 6:52Speaker 1: which came out like a Boa constrictor.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Did they play well? Yes they did?
- 6:57Speaker 1: But how much of that is on arch Manning? And
- 7:00Speaker 1: how much of that is that this is just a
- 7:02Speaker 1: good defense. Listen, You're supposed to rise to the challenge.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Isn't that what all this is about, right, athletic competition,
- 7:08Speaker 1: rising to the challenge in the moment, getting it done.
- 7:12Speaker 1: And what is arch man twenty? I think it's twenty one.
- 7:14Speaker 1: I believe he's been around a couple of years. There.
- 7:17Speaker 2: You drop him in there, whatever it is, you drop
- 7:19Speaker 2: him in there, and.
- 7:19Speaker 1: He's got the last name Manning, he's got the pedigree,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and you dangle him. It's like dangling a raw stake
- 7:26Speaker 1: in front of a pit bull for that buck guy's defense.
- 7:28Speaker 1: And they were not just playing arch though Ohio State.
- 7:32Speaker 1: It was not just a matchup against Arch Manning. They
- 7:34Speaker 1: were playing the mythology of the Manning family and all
- 7:39Speaker 1: that had been out there, the mythologies. You said, well,
- 7:42Speaker 1: it's not helping Arch Manning. At this point, they he
- 7:45Speaker 1: did not play well. Texas lost the game. All they
- 7:48Speaker 1: scored seven points. You have to step up on the
- 7:51Speaker 1: big stage. He did not step up on the big stage.
- 7:53Speaker 1: You think of this like a pipe, right, pipe's out
- 7:56Speaker 1: there and they often will burst from pressure. I guess
- 8:00Speaker 1: Arch Manning is a US steel pipe that got a
- 8:03Speaker 1: lot of pressure and just burst.
- 8:05Speaker 2: And that's it. Clare.
- 8:07Speaker 1: He's drowning from flop sweat in this game. And the
- 8:11Speaker 1: excuse makers are out there, they're like, well, it's not
- 8:13Speaker 1: his fault, just guy's fault, that guy's fault, blah blah
- 8:15Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and the Manning name Page two here
- 8:19Speaker 1: I've seen some of the Manning name conversation. Well, he's
- 8:22Speaker 1: wearing a giant bullseye. It's not fair to him, and
- 8:25Speaker 1: everyone wants to be the guy who exposes Arch Manning,
- 8:29Speaker 1: and Ohio State's already done that, exposing him as overrated,
- 8:34Speaker 1: over rated. Well, so do you feel bad? Here's the question.
- 8:38Speaker 1: Do you feel bad for Arch Manning having the immense
- 8:42Speaker 1: pressure for the Texas Longhorns and not living up to
- 8:44Speaker 1: the immense pressure. So I'll go first here, absolutely not,
- 8:50Speaker 1: absolutely not. And it is a privilege to be in
- 8:53Speaker 1: that situation, to have the keys to a big time
- 8:56Speaker 1: college football program granted a rather spot resume for Texas
- 9:01Speaker 1: for many, many years. But still you're in there, and
- 9:04Speaker 1: this is your opportunity. You're giving the keys to ride
- 9:07Speaker 1: the very expensive automobile. And that's life in the big city.
- 9:11Speaker 1: And in many ways, this is a biblical story as
- 9:15Speaker 1: old as time. Right, You've got the Manning family, Gibbeth
- 9:18Speaker 1: and the Manning family take it away. So how am
- 9:21Speaker 1: I supposed to sit here and feel bad for Arch Manning?
- 9:25Speaker 1: The Golden Arch, not the Golden Arches, that's something else,
- 9:28Speaker 1: that's a fast food restaurant, but the Golden arch arch Manning,
- 9:31Speaker 1: who I believe the number I saw was he makes
- 9:34Speaker 1: six point eight million dollars.
- 9:37Speaker 2: In nil money.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Six point eight million for arch Manning without having to
- 9:44Speaker 1: earn any of it. He didn't get the money after
- 9:47Speaker 1: he showed that he could play. He got the money
- 9:50Speaker 1: based on what he got, the money based on D
- 9:53Speaker 1: and A. And he's not even the son of Peyton
- 9:56Speaker 1: or Eli. People sometimes confuse that, no, no, no, he's
- 9:59Speaker 1: he's he's the other Manning brothers kid, and he played
- 10:03Speaker 1: like the other Manning brother kid in this game. But
- 10:06Speaker 1: think about that. You're in your early twenties, you're arch Manning.
- 10:08Speaker 1: You're making roughly one hundred and twenty three times what
- 10:12Speaker 1: the average American salary is to go out and play
- 10:15Speaker 1: college football at Texas. And how's the return on investment
- 10:21Speaker 1: the r OH I going for the Texas Longhorns and
- 10:26Speaker 1: the money the Boosters are paying because it's coming out
- 10:28Speaker 1: of the Boosters payroll. Imagine like you're sitting in the
- 10:31Speaker 1: front row, you're at the Rolling Stones back in the day.
- 10:35Speaker 1: You're at the Rolling Stones there and Mick Jagger says,
- 10:38Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna send out my
- 10:41Speaker 1: I'm gonna send out my roady to sing satisfaction. I'm
- 10:44Speaker 1: just gonna send them out and see what we can do.
- 10:45Speaker 1: You'll be like, well, no, I paid, I paid for
- 10:47Speaker 1: your old wrinkley ass to sing. I didn't pay for
- 10:51Speaker 1: your your roady to sing. Well, no, I mean that's
- 10:53Speaker 1: what happened. Not much bang for your buck. Not a
- 10:56Speaker 1: lot of bang for your buck. Is arch Manning goes
- 10:59Speaker 1: down the comet, the vomit comet on fire, down down,
- 11:03Speaker 1: down down now now final point. So I saw this
- 11:07Speaker 1: quote by Steve Sarkisian. Sark Now, I have a bit
- 11:12Speaker 1: of a history of Sarkisan going back to many many years.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I will not get into that here. I will not
- 11:15Speaker 1: bore you with the past. But the quote from Steve Sarkisian,
- 11:20Speaker 1: the former drunk USC coach. He said the expectations were
- 11:24Speaker 1: out of control on the outside. Sarkisian said, but I'd say,
- 11:30Speaker 1: let's finish the book before we judge it, he said
- 11:34Speaker 1: of arch Manning. Quote continues, this is one chapter, and
- 11:39Speaker 1: we've got a long season to play, to go play,
- 11:41Speaker 1: said Steve Sarkisan close quote. Okay, so he's like, hey,
- 11:46Speaker 1: you know, it's one chapter. It's early on and let's
- 11:49Speaker 1: hold off on that. So should we wait? Should we
- 11:54Speaker 1: wait until the end of the season to judge arch
- 11:59Speaker 1: Manning said fair to dogpile on top of arch Manning
- 12:03Speaker 1: at this particular point. So my response is, what is
- 12:07Speaker 1: this the is Oprah back with her book club? Like,
- 12:09Speaker 1: what do we have to wait to the end of this?
- 12:11Speaker 1: That's not exactly how any of this works. We're not
- 12:14Speaker 1: waiting for the book to be in bookstores. We're not
- 12:18Speaker 1: doing that.
- 12:19Speaker 2: We judge.
- 12:20Speaker 1: The great thing about this job is we judge every
- 12:22Speaker 1: chapter of the book. After every chapter of the book,
- 12:26Speaker 1: every paragraph of the book. We're there, every typo, everything,
- 12:31Speaker 1: everything in the footnotes. We're examining all of that. And
- 12:34Speaker 1: that's the gig. That's the job description here. That's how
- 12:38Speaker 1: it goes. You don't drop a Manning name into the
- 12:43Speaker 1: sec frying pan, right and then ask for a grace
- 12:47Speaker 1: period like you're actually like cooking some kind of crock
- 12:50Speaker 1: pot recipe or something like that.
- 12:51Speaker 2: That's that's not how it goes.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Arch Manning hit the debut chapter as a starter forget
- 12:56Speaker 1: About last year, and they played a couple of games,
- 12:58Speaker 1: started a couple of games last year.
- 12:59Speaker 2: A starter.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Arch manning debut chapter was it read like it was
- 13:05Speaker 1: written in.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Crayon, like by a four year old in crayon.
- 13:10Speaker 1: And you want to wait till the season's over, right, Well,
- 13:14Speaker 1: we'll wait till the season's over.
- 13:15Speaker 2: That's what Sarkesian says. Oh, we'll wait till the season's over.
- 13:18Speaker 2: But first, the.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Problem is we have a talk show to do every
- 13:22Speaker 1: single day, every day.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Right.
- 13:25Speaker 1: We're not librarians. We're not waiting for the book to
- 13:28Speaker 1: get out there. No, no, no, We're lunatics with microphones,
- 13:31Speaker 1: is what we are. And so that's our worst. And
- 13:33Speaker 1: the hype was a hot air balloon for arch man
- 13:37Speaker 1: Was I guilty of it?
- 13:38Speaker 2: Yes?
- 13:38Speaker 1: I love a good story. I'm I'm all about the story,
- 13:41Speaker 1: and I bought into it. And he made me look
- 13:43Speaker 1: like a donkey, a total jackwagon the way arch Manning
- 13:46Speaker 1: went out there and played. But it's a hot air balloon.
- 13:49Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, there's a problem. The
- 13:51Speaker 1: thing catches on fire. It was noseedied right into a
- 13:55Speaker 1: cactus patch, is what arch Manning did in that first
- 13:58Speaker 1: game in Columbus. And you can sell you know, the
- 14:00Speaker 1: the Maning nonsense and all this stuff. But you gotta
- 14:03Speaker 1: read the fine print, and I guess it was written
- 14:06Speaker 1: in an invisible ink. Now is there a redemption arc
- 14:10Speaker 1: for arch Manning or is this the beginning of a
- 14:15Speaker 1: bust narrative that will not end? So it is obviously
- 14:18Speaker 1: a bust narrative at this particular point. There's no if,
- 14:21Speaker 1: sans or butt's about it. It's a bust neartive and
- 14:25Speaker 1: it's up to arch at this point. How this is
- 14:28Speaker 1: gonna go. If it's a comeback story, you gotta do
- 14:31Speaker 1: it against better opponents that you played Ohio State. That
- 14:34Speaker 1: is a measuring stick game, and you went out there
- 14:36Speaker 1: and you didn't measure up.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Texas scored seven points.
- 14:40Speaker 1: So if you go out there, if you're arch Manning
- 14:44Speaker 1: and light it up against nowhere, you and some of
- 14:47Speaker 1: these other crappy teams that are on the schedule, okay, fine,
- 14:50Speaker 1: and then you're gonna get into the Southeastern Conference. And
- 14:52Speaker 1: what's gonna happen? The manager, you've been telling me for years,
- 14:56Speaker 1: this is royalty. This is football royalty. And royalty gets
- 15:00Speaker 1: it's knocked down, and the Kingdom it doesn't obviously crumble overnight.
- 15:05Speaker 1: When royalty gets knocked down. It's the Shakespearean set up summer,
- 15:10Speaker 1: predicting that you'll have the fall, the humiliation, and then
- 15:13Speaker 1: the redemption and you rise back up, or you don't
- 15:17Speaker 1: have that and you have bust with a capital B.
- 15:20Speaker 1: And that opening performance. That opening performance was space shuttle
- 15:26Speaker 1: like and one of the most traumatic events of my
- 15:30Speaker 1: childhood when we all rallied around the television to watch
- 15:34Speaker 1: the Challenger take off, and then they had this thing
- 15:36Speaker 1: called the O ring.
- 15:37Speaker 2: I didn't know what an old ring was.
- 15:38Speaker 1: I was a kid at the time, but I learned
- 15:40Speaker 1: what an old ring was, and the O ring causes
- 15:42Speaker 1: your shutole, the old kaboom. Yeah, yeah, it's a small crack,
- 15:47Speaker 1: big explosion. Small crack, big explosion. So the other thing
- 15:51Speaker 1: is did arch Manning. Did arch Manning play himself out
- 15:55Speaker 1: of the Heisman race after one game? So I would say, Heisman,
- 16:02Speaker 1: forget about it. We do the show today, and today
- 16:04Speaker 1: you'd have to say, there's no chance, cancel Christmas, no
- 16:08Speaker 1: gifts for arch Manning, that dream dead. Today's labor day.
- 16:12Speaker 1: As we're doing the show in real time, Dad Dad, Dad,
- 16:15Speaker 1: Dad Dad. The Heisman voters they're gonna remember this, this
- 16:19Speaker 1: was a big game and you're gonna have to win
- 16:21Speaker 1: two big games to make up for this.
- 16:23Speaker 2: If you're arch Manning, you're gonna have to.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Outperform two of the better opponents Texas has down the
- 16:30Speaker 1: line in order to make up for this performance, and
- 16:33Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be relatively great.
- 16:35Speaker 2: The rest of the season.
- 16:37Speaker 1: But the Heisman voters are not gonna sit around and say, oh,
- 16:39Speaker 1: you know, I remember that time that arched through for
- 16:42Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy yards and had almost nothing through
- 16:45Speaker 1: three quarters against Ohio State. Let me give him the
- 16:49Speaker 1: hardware anyway, let me give him the trumpe. No, that's
- 16:52Speaker 1: not that's not gonna happen, So forget about that.
- 16:55Speaker 2: Now.
- 16:55Speaker 1: If he rattles off a ten game heater and arch
- 16:59Speaker 1: Manning is cooking and throwing three, four or five touchdowns
- 17:02Speaker 1: a game and he comes back swinging, we can revisit
- 17:05Speaker 1: this conversation, but we're doing the conversation today. And if
- 17:10Speaker 1: he does end up turning things around. You said about
- 17:12Speaker 1: baptism by fire all that stuff, But what I saw,
- 17:16Speaker 1: I was like, oh, man, I remember like some of
- 17:19Speaker 1: the college quarterbacks who got a lot of hype and
- 17:21Speaker 1: didn't really live up to the hype, and then I
- 17:22Speaker 1: thought some other guys in the NFL. I know this
- 17:26Speaker 1: is college is not the NFL, but one of them
- 17:28Speaker 1: related to the Manning family connected at the hip. And
- 17:31Speaker 1: that was when Peyton Manning. There was a great debate
- 17:33Speaker 1: should Peyton Manning or this guy named Ryan Leaf be
- 17:36Speaker 1: the top pick of the draft years ago and we.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Know what happened.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Saw a lot of Ryan Leaf two point zero in
- 17:43Speaker 1: Arch Manning. He had the Manning name plate, he had
- 17:45Speaker 1: that going for him, but the rest of it not

- 36:56Speaker 7: being released by the Red Sox, Walker Brueler and the
- 36:58Speaker 7: Phillies reached an agreement it the Bueller will be implemented
- 37:01Speaker 7: in their starting rotation. Ben did the Dodgers miss an
- 37:04Speaker 7: opportunity at a reunion with Bueler.
- 37:06Speaker 2: No, he's cooked, he's done.
- 37:09Speaker 1: He was terrible with the Red Sox all season, and
- 37:11Speaker 1: I wish him well with the Phillies. But that's a
- 37:13Speaker 1: The Phillies needed somebody because Wheeler's out for the year.
- 37:16Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler's out for the year, and so there was
- 37:18Speaker 1: nobody else available. They can't trade for anybody of the
- 37:21Speaker 1: deadlines pass, so they're taking a flyer on Walker Bueler,
- 37:24Speaker 1: and he looks absolutely cooked.
- 37:26Speaker 2: The Dodgers have their own issues. They got they got
- 37:29Speaker 2: problems everywhere.
- 37:30Speaker 7: Next, an online poll conducted by the Action Network show
- 37:33Speaker 7: that Aaron Rodgers was voted the most annoying player in
- 37:36Speaker 7: the NFL. Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes rounded out the
- 37:39Speaker 7: top three.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Ben do you agree with the results from this pole? Well,
- 37:42Speaker 2: that's that's there. I don't do as you know. I
- 37:44Speaker 2: don't do polls. Lorena, I know this. I called you.
- 37:47Speaker 2: He does not that job by you.
- 37:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, listen, I don't. I don't pay attention
- 37:52Speaker 1: to all that stuff. My issue here my at the
- 37:55Speaker 1: very top of the people that annoyed me, Kyler Murray
- 37:59Speaker 1: right there at the very top Deshaun Watson is high
- 38:02Speaker 1: up there.
- 38:03Speaker 2: You know, I don't give about that.
- 38:04Speaker 1: Mahomes and Kelsey and all that, those are the ones
- 38:06Speaker 1: that annoy me, so I don't I don't care about
- 38:09Speaker 1: those results.
- 38:10Speaker 7: Next massage, Watson should have been number one. Okay, it
- 38:12Speaker 7: was reported by ESTN block Jason Kelce from contributed to
- 38:16Speaker 7: the YouTube inaugural stream of the Chiefs versus the Chargers
- 38:19Speaker 7: in Brazil.
- 38:20Speaker 2: Ben, is this like a big deal? Well, it's good
- 38:22Speaker 2: because it's good for us.
- 38:24Speaker 1: We don't have to see a Kelsey for another three
- 38:26Speaker 1: hours on television, so that's to me, that's a good thing.
- 38:28Speaker 2: But I don't understand why TV networks do this.
- 38:30Speaker 1: Like, if you're ESPN, wouldn't you want your guy who
- 38:33Speaker 1: works for you to be exposed to that audience that's
- 38:36Speaker 1: gonna be watching that game the Chiefs and the Chargers
- 38:40Speaker 1: in Brazil. He've made a big audience on YouTube. I
- 38:42Speaker 1: don't understand why you would not want that. It doesn't
- 38:44Speaker 1: make a lot of sense to me the logic behind that.
- 38:47Speaker 1: But hey, that's why these executives get paid all the
- 38:50Speaker 1: big money there.
- 38:50Speaker 2: It is mallard of the third degree.
