  Speaker 1: then factor fiction in hour for some other surprises.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Along the way. But our lead this hour.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You got to play the hit small Man one world
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Bosses used to say, play the hits. So we'll start
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: out in sweet Home Chicago, where the Bears are the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: story here. They won the offseason. Congratulations, they had a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: big celebration there in Chicago. Another offseason championship for the Bears.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Always exciting when you win the off season. But the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Bears first two games of the year and they are
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in hybernation mode.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: The hibernating Bears dull Bears.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: So Chicago the football team off to the zero and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: two start, got absolutely bitch. They gave up against the Lions.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: That's gutless football. You don't give up fifty points if
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you're halfway decent and you're trying. They gave up on
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: their coach in the second game of the year, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: now some payback because anything that works in that business
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: knows if you're trying, you don't give up fifty plus points.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: You just don't do that.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So the new coach there has decided to go on
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the offensive, which is not surprising considering he is an
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, although you wouldn't know it the way the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Bears offense is going. So if you didn't see this,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: maybe not. Ben Johnson publicly putting his players on blast.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: He was talking to a short sound bite, but he
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: was talking about the practiced habits of the Chicago Bears.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Take a listen. I think our practice habits are are
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: yet to reflect the championship caliber team.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Dah.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Now he went on and expanded on that, but that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: one playing the guy, play the guy and listen to this.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I think our practice habits are are yet to reflect
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: the championship caliber team. All right, So he expanded on that.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: But that's where we're gonna jump off.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, what do you think
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of Bears coach Ben Johnson calling out his Chicago players
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and what they're doing at practice. So my thoughts on this,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I've got a shampoo commercial, dunk tank, and spirit Halloween,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: we're gonna make delicious Pistromi fries.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Is what we're gonna do. So A, I love this story.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Hot shot coach gets new job, everyone says they can't
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: be stopped, and it all falls apart right away. I
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: got a big bucket of movie theater great popcorn, the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: kind that fills your insides and you can't get it
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: out for years.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Two weeks, that's it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Two weeks into the season and Ben Johnson is announcing
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: that the practices think He went on to say, the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: fundamentals are not very good. So I guess that means
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: they're garbage, that the basics blocking and tackling are not there.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Ball security. This is Pop Warner football level mistakes by
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Bear. He's essentially saying, the way I translated this,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I used to the Mallard Rosetta Stone that the coach
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of the Bears is saying that the team is playing
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: grab ass all week like the true Bears fans like
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yafimi and Tree in Chicago and Eugene in Chicago, all
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: those guys, they put more effort into it than the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: actual players on the team. Now, in life, the saying
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: is you are what you eat. You probably heard that
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: when you were younger.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: You are what you eat.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: In football, you are how you practice, like That's been
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the mantra of football forever and ever. Is anyone shocked?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Anyone shocked that already this is coming out? And you
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: know this has been going on for months, right, This
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: is not something that all of a sudden just bubbled
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: up out of nowhere.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: It's been hanging out there.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: And because you always try to handle this stuff internally
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: before you go in front of the cameras and the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: microphones and say this kind of thing. So Ben Johnson's
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: been dealing with this for some time. But you can't
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: be shocked by it. And here's why the Bears are
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: who we thought they were. They're losers. They've been losers
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: for decades. It's the culture that's the Chicago Bears. That
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: stuff doesn't just go away because you hired the latest
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: offensive genius who's the flavor of the month in the NFL.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And so Ben Johnson's like he's up there like Dorothy
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: from the Wizard of Oz. We're not in Kansas anymore.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I guess in this case, we're not in Detroit anymore
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: because he was with the Lions. Well, no kidding, You're
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: in Chicago. Great pizza, bad football, good pizza, bad football,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: good popcorn, bad football. You've inherited the island of misfit toys. Congratulations. Now,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I've never been to Bears practice. I'm assuming you have
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: an either. It must be like animal House, though I imagine
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: just a total frat party like guys have like zombie mode. Right,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's called what is Ben Johnson's really What
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: he's really doing here is not even calling out the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: core of the roster. The way that I heard this
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: is a direct shot at his quarterback Caleb Williams. This
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: is a direct shot at Caleb Williams your career. Disagree
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: with that point, then me make my argument here. Now,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: he didn't say his name, and I watched the news
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: coming he didn't say Cayleb Williams name in regard to this. However,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the reason I'm going down that road is because your
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: quarterback is supposed to be the tone setter, right, They're
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the ones lead by example. You're supposed to be the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: leader of men, and instead Caleb, Well, this is all
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: He's probably looking out. He's auditioning for some.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Shampoo commercial somewhere, or he's at the nail salon getting
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: that French manicure while the coach is begging his team
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to actually finish a play in practice and all that.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And so this is Ben Johnson's way of calling out
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams that he's not holding guys accountable, that there's
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: no pride in product in Chicago and they're grinding it
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: out in practice unless they're not. And that's what Ben
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Johnson is telling you. He's begging for the quarterback to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: be the grown up in the room and act.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Like it here.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Instead, he's got a team full of Instagram influencers. They
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: got a lot of cloud online. Let's be honest here,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: come on. I mean they're bad at football, but they're
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: really good online. The Bears are solid. They got a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: lot of those fake bots following. Anyway, you can't build
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the culture if your quarterback is part of the problem.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Becomes an issue. So we'll see if that changes, but
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: at this point unlikely. Now, speaking of problems, because we
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: love problems on the Ben Malor Show, we celebrate problems
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: because we got problems. Now we go to Vegas, lost
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: wages in Nevadom I spent If you listen to my
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: fifth hour podcast on the weekends, I told the story
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: with Danny g I spent eighty dollars to park in
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: one day in Vegas. I could have parked in Manhattan.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: They just at some point Vegas will realize probably not
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a good idea, Probably not a good idea for.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Those parking fees.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Anyway, so we get to the now they look horrible
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and we ripped apart Geno Smith for his performance or
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: lack theirop performance in the game back on Monday night
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and this is our Thursday show. But the latest hullabaloo
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: from Raiderland running back Ashton Genty. He revealed that he
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: wants a bigger workload, he said. This week, he said, quote,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think you draft a guy like me to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: not give me carries, he said.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Now it is true.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Out of Boise State, Genty was the number six, number
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: six pick in the twenty is we have a button
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: for everything, number six pick in the twenty twenty five
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: NFL draft and had a prolific career in Idaho, but
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: so far in his NFL right so it's only a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: couple of games. What we've got a show to do
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: right now? The results have been ugly, absolutely ugly. So
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the question, as we discussed the question is why why
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: is Ashton Genty apparently in Peak Farrel's doghouse with the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Raiders already?
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: So this is an early reality check, That's the way
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I see it.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Like the silver and Black height machine after they had drafted,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: drafted this guy gent this is home run hitter. Remember
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Bo Jackson back in the day, If you're really old,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you remember this guy named Bo Jackson and all that
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: highlight reel reborn. And we're a couple weeks into the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: process or the process, and he looks much more like
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Trent Richardson than he does the second coming of Bo Jackson,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: which is not a compliment. I don't believe. So plotting
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: through defense is that Patriot game was really bad. The
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Charger game was not great. But plotting through defense like
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: he's trudging through wet cement, Ashton Gent. And against the Patriots,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the lowly Patriots, he had nineteen carries and thirty eight yards.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: My math is correct on that, and I believe that's
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: two yards of pop using malor math, that'll get you
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: right back to full back dive territory.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: That's like the nineteen eighty three NFL all over again.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: And then against the Chargers there was a little bit
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: of improvement.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: He hit forty three yards, so five more yards and
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: average three point nine yards per carry. Limited work, nothing special.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: So Ashton Gent's NFL christening has been a flaming dunk
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: tank at this point, baptism by fire, and he's got
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: third degree burns to prove it. So, and then he
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: has the hoods. But I want more carries, Okay, of course,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: of course you want more carries. Be careful what you
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: wish for, though, the more touches that you get right,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: more times you touch the ball. Right now, the more
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Raider fans are reminded that you don't draft a running
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: back in the top ten of the draft, right, you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: don't do that. You drafted running back in the sixth round,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: not the sixth overall pick. And you know, again, Pete
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Carroll forever the ultimate college rah rah optimist coach.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: We all know that, right, we all know that.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And you know he insists he wants to give gent
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the football and all that. But Pete Carroll, well he's
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: mister raw raw. He's also not a country bumpkin. Like
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: if you don't earn it, you're not just gonna get it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And and because you know, you you slap some EyeBlack
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: on or whatever, and it's not all of a sudden
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be mister techmobile back in the day. This
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: is like, this isn't Boise State versus Hawaii. There is
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: no blue turf in the NFL. Right, in the NFL,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the the linebackers. You don't play a school where the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: linebackers are biology majors on scholarship, right that these are
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: these are all the top one percent of the top
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: one percent. And Ashton genty uh, you know he just
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: has looked clunky. It's like he's auditioning for the role
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: of Frankenstein, like real stiff, like a universal reboot of
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Frankenstein or something like that. But it's it is too
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: early to say, oh, this guy's a total bust and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: slap that label on this guy's locker. However, uh, you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: in Vegas and just in general, like the first impression,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: this is it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: You're judged by that and you have to overcome that.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Once you get that in the mind, it's very difficult
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to overcome that. And Ashton Genty what he really needs.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: And I looked at the schedule. Unfortunately I didn't see this.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Ashton Genty needs a Washington State or Georgia Southern on
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the schedule like he had when he was at Boise State.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: A total cupcake game, and there's only a few of
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: those in the NFL that would be like your New
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Orleans Saints, so you're Carolina Panthers somebody like that, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: then you can look like the All Americans stud all
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: over again. Unfortunately for him, the NFL does not do
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: cupcakes very often. Right right now that the highlight reel
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: two games into Ashton Genty's career, is more of a
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: blooper reel than a highlight reel. Right now, last word,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: we go to La La Land. A viral video popping
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: up here of a charger. Now, how often does that happen?
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Let's stop right there, how often does a charger end
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: up in a viral video? Well, Charges Wide Receiver Keenan
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Allen with the Monday Night Game the other night videos
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: making the rounds here. I don't know if you've seen
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: it or if you're blind you've heard it, but Keenan
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Allen exposed his giant bumpity bumps on his shoulders during
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a Monday.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Night pregame hype video.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I think it's actually his postgame a hype video there
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: against the Raiders. So the question, and again this is
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: more a visual thing. I know we're on an audio platform.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Just imagine Keenan Allen has these big bumps on each shoulder,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: like not natural, not normal skeleton bumps. So the question,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Charges Wide Receiver, Keenan Allen going viral for the craziest
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: shoulder joints you will ever see or Nazi, So how
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: do you evaluate this one? So this clips kind of
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: like watching Discovery Channel, like a special show on Discovery.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Channel on Human Anatomy gone Wrong.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Like we're used to seeing football players in shoulder pads,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: it's kind of a regular occurrence. This guy's got shoulder spikes,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: as in all the way to say it, Like you
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: line up against him, and it's not press coverage when
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you're playing Keenan Allen, it's assault.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: With a deadly weapon.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: He could literally poke defensive backs in the eye before
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the snap and injury.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: They couldn't even able to see him, and he'd run
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: by him.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Keenan plays, he kind of plays like he's he's got
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder anyway, he's got an edge
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to his game. And it turns out, based on this
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: photographic video evidence, that he not only has a chip
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: on his shoulder, he has two giant bones sticking out
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of each shoulder.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: There both of these things, we are told.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Based on a minute long Malleor investigation, they were Grade
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: three separations that he never got fixed. They had the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: separation and he's supposed to have those surgically fixed.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: He never did.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And so now it's like when I was a kid,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I always wonder what would happen if that skeletor came
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to life.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: What do we look like And now I know, now
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: I know, just have a grade three shoulder separation.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Do not have surgery, and then you can put on
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a number thirteen jersey for the Los Angeles Chargers and
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you're good to go. Now it's not all badness. I
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: will be Benny Brightside on this. Well, visually it's not
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: very attractive. Keenan Allen will not need to go to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Spirit Halloween. He's already got his.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Own swoothcky costume.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: He looks like he's wearing. I'm gonna go old school here,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: but professional wrestling. There was this tag team group called
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the Road Warriors back in the day, and they had
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: shoulder pads with spikes on him, and it kind of
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: looks like that, kind of looks like that, right, well,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you know what a rush, except it's not a gimmick,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: like this is his body.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: This is what happens.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And then you see some really nasty photos of basketball
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: players with their fingers bent the wrong way from playing
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: in the NBA or toes that are really wacky, and
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: this is like that, right, this is like that, and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: yet he's still out there running routes and roots and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: all that, getting open catching passes. Is insane. It's also
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: grotesque but impressive. It can be both things at the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: same time. It's like one of those carnival sideshow.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Acts that you'll see right every once in a while.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Step right up, every man, woman, and child. See the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: wide receiver with the dislocated skeleton right here. So keenan
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: am playing football in a full horror show mode.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Must be uncomfortable when he's got the shoulder pads on
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: because he's already got a weapon.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Below the shoulder pads. So it's not about fighting for
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the respect. Everyone wants respect.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: This is the shoulders are already throwing punches like the
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: shoulders are ready to go.

• 19:44
  Speaker 1: The way tire buying should be. So our lead this
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: hour is from baseball. We're going to start there the
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: story that a lot of people.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Are talking about, not the Cubs, Doc Cubbs, who.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Are in the playoffs now, but the Dodgers who did
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: beat the Phillies.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: That's shocking.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: But the Dodgers are in a bit of a pickle
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: jar here on how they're going to handle shohe Otani,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: who hit another home run in the game that was
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: played there on Wednesday night, and he's got fifty one
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: home runs now and getting close to the end of
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the season, just about a ten games or so to
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: go in.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: The regular season.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: So if he didn't see this, perhaps not the Dodgers
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: robotic manager by the book preordained.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Dave, we should call him Dave Roberts.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts acknowledge that the Dodgers have considered whether or
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: not sho hail Tani may end up being their salvation
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: to their crap bag bullpen. The bullpen blows, it's embarrassing.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: It's a minor league bullpen, and so the chance, the
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: chances of a Tani going to the bullpen, what are
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: they well, we don't know what they are it's being considered,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and a shorter series wild card round. The Dodgers, the
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: greatest team all time, are gonna be in the wildcard
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: round because they're not that good. So it remains to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: be seen whether or not this will happen or not.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Otani still will likely end up being a starting pitcher
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: because of the rule, because of the rule in baseball,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the Otani rule, which was put in for him as
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: a starting pitcher, not as a reliever. But the Dodgers
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: say that it is something they're considering, that Otani would
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: help them out of the bullpen, and they're talking about it.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Otani did say that he's open to playing the outfield.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, a guy making seventy million dollars a
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: year and he's willing to play the outfield.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Holy crap, just to remain in the lineup.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Because the rule is, if you're a reliever and you
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: leave the game, it's all over.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: That's it. You're done. Ski's all right.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Sho Haltani says that
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: he is willing to play the outfield. The Dodgers could
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: use him as a relief pitcher under that scenario.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: What is your initial reaction to all of this.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: So I've got Ricky, Bobby, Greek, and Wyoming and we
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: And we are going to make your Babushka's favorite peanut
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: butter and jelly is what we're going to make. So
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: number I said number. Now Otani not.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Just as bad at gambling, but he's a unicorn and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: he's a full on one man marching band.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: How can one.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Man be a marching band. Well, there's Otani. He's the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: drum major, he's playing the trumpet, he's got the tuba,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: he's the guy twirling the baton.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: He's all that. But really, what this.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Is is an obvious referendum on the Dodger front office.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: They were bad at their job.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: They went out, they signed a guy in Kirby Yates
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: who's completely washed up.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: He should be playing shuffle board somewhere.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: And Tanner Scott, whose mind is mush as mashed potatoes.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: This guy blows.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And so those were the big pickups that they improved
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the bullpen, and the bullpen sucks so much that they're
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: thinking about putting Otani out there and have him strap
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a harmonica on. In addition to all the other stuff
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: that he's got going on.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: It's insane.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: It is insane that Dodger bullpen, which they thought was
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: going to be a beachfront luxury condo building, but it
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: was that, except it was actually built on top of
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: a sinkle, which is not what you want. And so
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: now this is Major League Baseball's version of Ricky Bobby.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: You remember Will Ferrell, the star of that Talladega Knights,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and played all nine positions for ten different teams one
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: day in the Cactus League.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: He flew around and all that.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: But you look at it and you will have to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: get Harmonica for Otani there. And he can also juggle
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: chainsaws just to get them through the Wildcard series, just
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: to get them through the walk cars. There's now a
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: little bird, he says. The Dodgers have been lobbying for
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: a rules change, rules change with Major League Baseball. They
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: would have to rewrite the constitution. I imagine the letter
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: goes something like, dear mister Manford, you called the World
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Series Trophy a hunk of metals, so you clearly don't
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: care about competition, So surely you'd be willing to change
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the rule just before the playoffs to accommodate the Dodgers
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: to allow shohal Tony to pitch and relief, hit cleanup,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and he can shag flies and left field without losing
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the designated hitter. Thank you very much, signed Los Angeles Dodgers.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: So they want a loopity loop is what they want.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: They want a show.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Hel tany loophole written into the baseball by laws because
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the rest of the roster.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Is not good and he listen, the Dodgers deserve the circus.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: It would be hilarious.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Baseball shouldn't change the rules, but then the commissioner doesn't
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: care about the integrity of the game. They don't care
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: about that. You got two teams playing in minor league
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: stadiums this year. It's embarrass But the Dodgers deserve the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: circus because they babied their pitchers into glass figurines. They
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: put them all in bubble wrap, and then of course
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the bullpen's completely cooked at this point.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: And now we're closing in.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Just a couple weeks away from October, and the hopes
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: rest on O'tani pulling a Will Ferrell, just playing all
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the positions.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Good luck with that, Good luck with that.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: All right, Now we go back to football and to
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the Valley of the Sun, a team we normally don't
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: talk about because nobody cares about them. But this is
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: an interesting story. The Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Junior. Now,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: you told me this guy was going to be great,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the spawn of a Hall of Famer, and they had
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: a few highlights last year, a couple of good games.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: It wasn't consistently great.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: So Marvin Harrison Junior has been a non factor to
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: begin the year. Arizona somehow's two and oh thanks to
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the schedule gods. But Marvin Harrison Junior says his lack
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: of targets is a quote, silly conversation to Marvin Harrison says, listen,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: it's nothing to worry about.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Silly, silly, silly.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: And he has been targeted just eleven times through the
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: first two games of the NFL season, and so it
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: obviously stands out right stands out a lot. This is
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: supposed to be their big stud wide receiver. This is
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: there forever franchise wide receiver, the next Larry Fitzgerald, better
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: than Larry Fitzgerald, and he's not. So the question, is
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: it a silly conversation that Marvin Harrison is lost in
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals offense right now, So absolutely not. Do you
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: know how many millions, if not billions, of dollars are
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: exchanged in fantasy football, and then you add in gambling
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and all that, and there are prop bets on production
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and whatnot.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: And Marvin Harrison.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Is not living up to the building. That's a story.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: It's not a silly conversation. Harrison was the fourth overall
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: pick in the twenty twenty four draft.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Ship the draft, right, you literally.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Say prayers at the tabernacle for the NFL draft and
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: this season so far, all we have to do is
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: judge him on his actions. This season, Marvin Harrison Junior
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: has been a stool pigeon. Tell me what company you
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: keep and I will tell you what you are. So
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. Is currently tied with someone named Josh
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Downs of the Colts. Sounds like a relief pitcher for
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the Giants and the Jaguars Diamy Brown in targets this year.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Let me repeat that for those of you a little
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: slow in the back of the room. It is an
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: overnight show. So Marvin Harrison Jr. Is tied with the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Colts wide receiver Josh Downs and the Jaguars, Diami Brown
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: in targets. That is not the company that you want
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: to keep. Now, I didn't play in the NFL. I
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: know Ryan Clark will probably be upset that I have
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: a take because I didn't play in the NFL. But
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: that is not the company you want to keep, all right,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: when you're supposed to be the next Jamar Chase or
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. This is the guy we were told can't miss,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: gold plated spawn of a Hall of Famer.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeahah yeah. So at this part of it,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go fluent in Greek. Marvin Harrison looks like Adonis,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: remember the viral photos all he worked out.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: This guy is amazing.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: He's built like a Greek god. He plays like a
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Greek salad. That's not what you're looking for. Where's the production,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: where's the juice? The great white outs? You know what
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: they do my entire life. They demand the ball. They
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: give me the damn ball. The famous quote from Keishawn
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Johnson back and then his book. They don't just sit
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: there smiling and twiddling their thumbs on the sidelines while
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: they're getting three or four targets a game, whether that's
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Devonte Adams who's getting older with the ramsde Lamb or
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: any of these guys. Those guys all get fed.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: They do. And Marvin Harrison, he is a garnish on
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: the plate right now.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: He's a partially sprig is essentially what he I mean, listen,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: he looks nice. Half you really want him as like
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the centerfold of a magazine.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: If you're read of that kind of thing.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: It doesn't change the flavor. So far, he's half the
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: man his father was. I don't even know if half
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: is right. Marvin Harrison Senior, well, he certainly had some
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: issues off the field, and there was a lot of
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: shady stuff and we don't know all the details on
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: what was involved and what didn't happen with Marvin Harrison senior.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: But he was slick and he was he was silk.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: He was effortless and when he got the ball, whoever
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the quarterback was mostly Peyton Manning, it was Velcrow and
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: the kid.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Eh.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: You know it's it's like he's running these routes and
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: it seems like he's stuck in a TSA line at
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Sky Harbor Airport, or.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Some other airport.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: All the hype, all the hype, right, changing the franchise,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: You draft.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: This receiver, he's so good blah blah blah blah blah
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: And yet he's out there putting up stat lines that
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: you can get from a fifth round pick out of
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Western Michigan. You can get that kind of production. So
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. Is as good as advertised. The staff
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: would mandate that he gets the ball. Is that an
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: accurate state?
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Right? Again, you look at him.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: And you're saying, well, there's a guy that looks like
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a Greek god, but again it plays like a Greek salad.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: And you'd say, scheme him up. You can feed him
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the ball, bubble screens, slants, whatever you find, right, what
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: you find ways to get him ten looks a game, right,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: you find ways to get the ball. Here's the fun
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: sized quarterback, or the alligator arms as we like to
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: call him. There, here's Kyler Murr. You hear the question
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: and the answer on the issue of targets.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Take a listen through.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: The ball, Marvar be down, but do you feel like
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: you should have more targets in a game?
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: Right now you're asking me. You know, I say it
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: every time, like I wish all of them could get
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: ten targets a game. Of course, there's only one ball.
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: You know, we been playing this game for a long time.
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: We all understand how it goes. Some days he's gonna
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: get ten, some days he might get three whatever it is,
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: and Mike might get eight. You know, you never know.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that's a non answer answer. Again. I go
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: back to my point.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: If the player is great, do you think the Vikings
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: going to a game saying, well, we you know, we
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: can't get we can't target Justin Jefferson or the Bengals
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: with with their their star wide receiver, mister Chase there
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: you get him the ball, and there are trick codes
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: that you can use, the bubble screen, the slant, whatever
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: it might be, as I said, to get them open.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: And the fact that that Harrison is not getting the
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: ball that often means either one of two things. Either
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: he can't separate despite looking like a Greek god there's
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: not he's not getting open, or he's not the guy.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: It's one of those two things. And if he can't separate,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: you could also argue he's not the guy, So it's
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: almost one of the same. All right, now, final points
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: falling quarterback category.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: We go to Carolina, where the Panthers sucked yet again
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: and their coach Dave Canalis. Don't learn his name, He
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: won't be there long, but Dave Canalis announced this week
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: that he has complete confidence in Panthers quarterback Bryce Young
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: says his confidence is quote super high. That's his words,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: not mine. He said, a super high confidence level despite
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: the oh and two start yet again. And the Atlanta
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Falcons are up next in a game that will be
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: regionally broadcast and maybe back in the day we'd say
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: that's on public access cable, but I guess it'll be
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: on television somewhere.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: So this is one year.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Remember last season, one of the great sports radio talking
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: points was the famous benching of Bryce Young following an
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: oh and two start, and Bryce Young, after Carolina had
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: been firmly exterminated from any chance of doing anything, put
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: up some halfway decent games. But here we are back
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: to square one. So Canalls says he's quote fired up.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: He said about where the Panthers are headed. Okay, quotes quote,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Is coach Dave Canalis
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: confidence in Carolina quarterback Bryce Young warranted. So you can't
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: see me unless you're watching the YouTube channel, which is
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: at Ben Mahler's show. You can watch it right there.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: So I'm shaking my head. No, this is wishful thinking.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that Canalis is fired up about
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: where the Panthers are going. He must love the NFL draft,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the top ten of the NFL draft, because that's.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Where Carolina is going. They're going to the top ten
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: of the NFL Draft.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: It's the coach trying to sell you beachfront property in Wyoming,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: beautiful beachfront property in Wyoming. Canalis is playing mister Sunshine
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: and it's mister Canalis in the Sunshine Band.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: They're the ultimate cheerleader. Give me some pom poms and
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: passing them over to Dave Canalis. Get him a little
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: skirt and there you go.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: You can lead the keep the faith cheer at the
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: rally while the quarterback looks like one of those candy bars,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: you know, the small sized candy bars you get on
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Halloween there where they're a little small, though sweet. You
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: take a couple of bites and they're all gone. Bryce Young.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: It's like he's shrunk in the drier. Now we goof
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: on Kyler Murray because he's terrible too. But Bryce Young,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't get as much. He's not as
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: obtuse as Kyler Murray, so we don't attack him as much.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: But you look at him next to NFL defenders. If
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: you've ever flipped over to a Carolina game, and it's
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: like they put a high school freshman out and it's
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: like he's in.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: The middle of the octagon and Dana White event.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: You know, he's the twenty ninth ranked quarterback in the NFL,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: and even that is misleading.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: It's only been a couple of games.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: The only time Carolina has successfully moved the ball is
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: in garbage time. The Cardinals in this last game had
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: a twenty seven to three lead in that game, and
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: at that point, Carolina then or three touchdowns.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: They scored on three straight possessions.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: That is not a comeback, by the way, That is
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: garbage time cardio. You're doing garbage time cardio, which it's
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: like bragging you scored an empty net goal in the
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: National Hockey League and you know you don't really get
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: that much credit for the goal. He pulled himself to
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: go get some gatorade or whatever it might be. Nobody's
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: impressed by that. Now Carolina is owing to against Jacksonville
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: and Arizona, who are still who are still not gonna
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: make the playofy. Neither one have made plowffs lat year.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: They're gonna make the plows this year. And and they
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: were behind by three touchdowns. It's like watching a bad
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: cover band watching the Carolina Panthers. You show up, they
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: say they're gonna bring the energy and all that stuff,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: and then they butcher you know whatever old song Hotel
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: California or whatever at the County Fair. But that's Bryce
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Young right now. Like Bryce Young is essentially the Carolina
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Panthers tribute act to real NFL quarterbacks.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: And they're sending them out there.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: And you know, they decided not gonna bench him because
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: he got some garbage time touchdowns and all that. And
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not real happy about that, particularly because of the
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: point spread.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: But we'll see what happens this weekend.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. It's smaller,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: how about to the third degree.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: This is one big event. Gets grilled Coop Daalu Ben.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: There are ten oh to two teams in the NFL
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: heading into Week three, how embarrassing. Well, aside from the Chiefs,
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: are there any others that you believe can turn their
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: season around?
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously Kansas City's on that. But the teams that
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: are owing too are supposed to be owing two right,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: They're supposed to be the only one that I would
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: say is the clear obvious one would be the Texans.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: It's not because I think the Texans are good. It's
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: because the Texans play in the right division. They play
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: in the AFC South, And even though the culture toing oh,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: at some point Daniel Jones is gonna realize he's Daniel Jones.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: So I would say Houston's the only other one because
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: somebody's gonna make the playoffs in that division. It's not
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be Tennessee, it won't be Jacksonville. So it's either
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Indy or Houston next.
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: Joey Bosa said this week that he's feeling as good
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: as he ever has in his career and it's showing
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: on the field. After forcing a fumble in Week one,
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: Bosa had a sack in two forced fumbles in Week two.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: Do you think Bosa can be the key for the
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: Bills to get over the hump?
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: No, because he's gonna get hurt in the game on
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Thursday night. When you come on and talk about how
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: great you're feeling, how wonderful you're doing, all that boom
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: your snake bit, you put the wammie on yourself.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: So no, next.
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: Jim Harbaugh is known to slobber all over his quarterback,
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: but he's doing with his defense too. Harbar called German
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: James the best safety I've ever seen in the history
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: of the National Football League after the game on Monday,
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: be is this crazy hyperbole or do you think James
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: could be in that discussion?
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: No, it's coch coach Hyperbley. Harball played against the Atwater
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: and Ronnie Lott. I think they were a little bit better.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: All right, that's a that's a win. I'm counting that
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: as a win right there right.

• 40:57
  Speaker 5: because now it's so easy closing. You just tap it
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: and then it was just by itself. Okay, anyway, Yeah.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: I never really thought much about it.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: It's just like, well, I just I don't usually the
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: main thing, like I don't usually do it when I
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: go to like out public bathrooms because they're covered in
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what's on the toilet.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: It's like there's a bunch.

• 41:19
  Speaker 5: you're right, public bathroom is no boy.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: No, I mean I use my mother foot to try
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: to tap it or something.
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: That's like yeah, all right, this ink of Terror would
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: like to know I've met him.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: He's famous.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he says after immigrating to the US, I grew
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: up in farm country. Have any of you had any
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: farm experience milking cows, turning butter, shucking corn, et cetera.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Uh no, nothing more than a day. I remember when
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: I was a kid, they brought cows to the school,
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: like element school. Yeah, you know they did that for
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: your toe. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: If I don't think like I was. I think maybe
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: like kids could have had like an opportunity to milk
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: the how but I was like, nah, I'm good.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got up close to the cow, but I
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: didn't really, I wasn't in it. I like the meat
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: after the cows cut up. But Lorena, any experienced farming.
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: You grew up in me, man, I got all that
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: country up in me.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: I've been around the horses and my goats and cake.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: From a small town in Oregon, right, there's a lot
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: of farms out there, all the.
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: Cow pots you could ever want. I can't tell her.

• 42:38
  Speaker 5: where did you learn baking from?
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: You know? It's funny.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: My mom was a prolific baker when I was a kid,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: but I just ate what she made. I just kind
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: of started messing around with it about ten years ago.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: I just a lot of YouTube videos, and I found
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: some of my mom's old recipes after she passed away,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: So I started making.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: Some of that stuff. And so, yeah, I found out
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: my mom's cookies that she made. I love was she
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: just ripped off a package of like Nestley chocolate chip things.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: She just ripped it off. Anyway, it was good. That's
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: about it. What's the next quick way, Coop? What do
