  Speaker 1: So send those questions in hashtag ask Ben our lead
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: this hour though from Northern Ohio. A chamber of commerce.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Kind of weather pattern here lately in Northern Ohio. Unless
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: it's not but another new coach in the NFL, Another
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: one bites the dust, Another one bites the dust. Now,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: if you have not heard yet, we've learned that the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Browns have hired former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Mounkin the Monkman,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to be their next head coach. Now Monkin gets a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: five year deal.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I just love these.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: They hand these things out like they're from a vending machine.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: You get a five year deal, you get a five
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: year deal. You get a five year deal. So Monke
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: in an overnight success. He turned sixty. Next week on
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the NBA trade deadline, he'll be sixty years old, so
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: happy early birthday. He replaces Kevin Stefanski, who immediately became
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Stefanski was fired
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: back in early January fifth earlier this month, and he
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: spent six years losing, mostly with the Cleveland football team.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: So the if you look at the last thirty four
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: games they've played, they've lost twenty six of the last
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: thirty four games since they It was a fluke and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: they made the.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Playoffs in twenty twenty three, but they've.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Lost twenty six of their last thirty four games since
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: that point. So Monkin the latest to wear the Dunce cap.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: You immediately go to the Browns and they give you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: all the brown shirts and all that, and the only
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: hat they have for the coach is the Dunce cap.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: So that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the question, what is your knee jerk reaction knee jerk
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: reaction to Todd Mounkin taking over as the Browns head coach.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: So my views on this, I've got Scholastic art and writing,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: sunshine and loading doc and we'll put all of these
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: things together and we are going to have a fruit
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: roll up, glow up, show up, and blow up is
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. Just like the Browns coach, they
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: glow up, they say how great they are, they put
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: glow on them, and then they show up and then
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: they blow up when they coach the Browns. So, first
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: of all, this is yet again another one of those
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: things where we sit at the bully pulpit.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And I have no skin in the game.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: You know, we have a group of loyal members of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the Malad militia that happened to be in the Cleveland
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: area and all that, and the big fans and we
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: love them all, and people all over Ohio, the sovereign nation
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of Ohio. And it's another what were they thinking?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Higher?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Now we'll get the update from Dick and Date next hour.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Are Brown's insider boots on the ground from Ohio, the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: great Cleveland Brown The men suck when it comes to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the right. So my word for this, you know, what's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: your knees you reaction, But.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: My word is demoralizing. If you want to change that out.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Uninspiring would be another word.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You could use the word ditchwater because it's as dull
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: as ditchwater, and it's also appropriate for the franchise. It's poetic.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: You know, some monks, I don't know much about them,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: but from what I understand, some monks take a vow
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: of silence. You've heard about that. I'm like a monk
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I'm taking a valve of silence. They will go for
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: years without speaking, and they do it as a form
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of discipline, and they focus on humility and things like that,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and it's a noble thing, right the.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Buddhist monks or whatever, and it's.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Something that a lot of us would never think about doing,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: but they do it, and good for them. And so
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the Browns have taken a vow. It's appropriate they hire
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: this guy because they've taken their own vow, not silence.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Their vow is losing all caps, losing right for decades,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and that is a discipline of hoarding draft picks and failing.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: With almost all of them. It is a.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Spiritual journey into a very dark place. And Todd Monkin
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: can just sit there on the sidelines and meditate and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: twiddle his thumbs while the team stumbles and bumbles around
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Because that's what happens.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So congratulations to Todd. You just won the coaching lottery.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: It's a no show job. You don't have to do
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: anything to in. You get five years of employment, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you actually got the job because you won these Scholastic
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Art and writing award.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Congratulations.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: This is the first year they've given it out, you
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: win the Scholastic Art and Writing Award, you get to
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: coach an NFL team, and so that's where you're at.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I remember they had that big essay contest. So you've
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: got Todd Munkin, who's a middling coach, apparently a great
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: essay writer.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Good for him.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Never been a head coach, been a coach. You realize
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: he started as an assistant. One of his early jobs
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: was that Notre Dame with Lou Holtz in the eighties,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and since like nineteen eighty nine, nineteen ninety nobody thought, hey,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: this guy ought to be a good head coach. Let's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: give him a shot in the NFL. So success as
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: a coordinator, we know this does not does not translate
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to the big chair, right, It doesn't always, sometimes it does.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: We've seen it thousands of times. You got to put
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of coordinators in there, and thousands maybe one
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: hits for every Sean McVay you get Todd Bows or
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: any Jets coach the last thirty years, right, one of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: those guys. So Mounkin has been described as blunt, gruff,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and abrasive, which are all great qualities if you're a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: winning coach.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: When you're a losing coach.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the same guy also who reportedly called the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Browns a quote total mess privately back in twenty nineteen,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: which was not wrong, which was not wrong. In twenty nineteen,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the Browns were a total mess. It was right then,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and it's right now, and he's the face of a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: total mess. Congratulations, you have won the prize. It's not
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: a boobie prize to get paid a lot of money.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: It doesn't move the conversation. It's a starter job for
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a veteran assistant coach. And it's more of the same.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: The Monkin era is starting in the general reaction has
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: been a thud. That's been the reaction all right now. Secondly,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: with the monk Man taking over in Cleveland, let's put
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a number on it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Put a number on it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: What are the chances that Todd Monkin turns the Browns
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: into a consistent playoff team. We're not even gonna talk
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: about the super Bowl. That ain't happening. We'll all be
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: dead and they still won't be to the super Bowl.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But what are the chances that Todd Monkin can turn
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the Browns into a consistent playoff team? So I'm gonna
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: be Benny Bright's out here. I'm not gonna rain on
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: anyone's parade. That's not how we do things here. But
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: as the judge, jury, and executioner of bad coaching hires
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and professional sports, I'm gonna set the Malard of.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Sports book odds.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: They're not zero, they're the Mallard of sports book odds
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: on Todd Monkin turning the Cleveland Browns into a consistent
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: playoff contender, playoff team like a wild card weekend type
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: team US ten thousand, that means under one percent, under
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: one percent chance. That is akin to Hits Earth Hits
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Earth Aliens show up to Dodger Stadium and are pitching
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: for the Dodgers that night from somewhere outside the Milky Way.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: This is like betting on sunshine on a Lake effect
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: blizzard that in the middle of a Lake effect blizzard
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: you're gonna see sunshine. Todd Munkin did such a bang
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: up job in Baltimore that he was on the staff
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: that failed so miserably, how miserably that John Harbaugh is
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: now coaching another NFL team, And we mentioned that Munkett
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: already coached in Cleveland and they underachieved the.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Year that he was there, so he's back for more.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: And if you follow the available information, you follow the clues.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: None of them yell visionary. There is one word that
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: would sum up the Todd munkin Higher in Cleveland, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that word is Jack.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Now it's not my grandpa Jack. He's not around anymore.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: It's just a coach, a jack just to coach a
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: seat filler. It's like you used to be these things
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: in Hollywood called award shows, the Academy awards, and if
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you get up to take a take a whiz, somebody
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: sits in your seat and all that stuff. You know,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you just got a.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Fill of seat. And that's it.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Again, great for him, you know, overnight success. He's almost
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: sixty two decades in two decades in the NFL, coached
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: as a head coach in college, and nobody at any point.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: In the NFL said, and this is this is the guy.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: This is it. We got to get this guy. And
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: so that again, that tells you a lot.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Now, the NFL, there's a lot of dumb people that
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: work for the NFL. So it's possible they're all wrong.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: That everyone who's running an NFL team for the last
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: twenty years doesn't know what they're doing. He just gives
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the vibe that he's a middle manager, Todd Monk in
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a CEO type and the Browns are gambling the gamble here.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: The only reason you need to hire this guy is
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: that he can fix a quarterback, anyone that plays quarterback.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Right now, shooter of Sanders like the idea that he's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: going to level up should Sanders place right, Sanders? How
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: do you level up a Pro Bowl quarterback who's got
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of social media clout. You don't turn a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: store brand quarterback into the next Lamar Jackson. That ain't happening,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: So good luck on that. I guess you just slap
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: what you do like a nicer label. Try to play
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: hide the quarterback, hide the quarterback, and hope.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: That nobody reads the ingredients on the label. And you're like, okay,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: we'll just put this right here. We're good to go.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: That's all we have to do, all right, final fought.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: So the real story here. Don't bury the lead, mam man.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I buried the lead. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I buried
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: the lead.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: So with Todd Monkin in the house, he's in the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: hissy that means exiting stage. Left would be brown defensive
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: coordinator Jim Schwartz, who might be out, not might.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: It appears he is out as we are hearing.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: From multiple insiders that Jim Schwartz, who was the betting
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: favorite when I went to bed, the betting favorite to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: be the Browns coach, and when I woke up, Todd
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Munkin was the Browns coach. But Todd, if you look
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: at this now, Jim Schwartz all right. He was said
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to be visibly upset and said his goodbyes at the
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Browns facility. He told people in the room, I'm out.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I'm Donsky's I'm OUTI I ain't coming back. They don't
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: want me as the head coach. I'm not coming back.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: So the question what is the word for Jim Schwartz
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: preparing to leave the Browns even though he's under contract
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: because he didn't get the head coaching job and Todd
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Munkin was hired instead. So my word is a conjoined word.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Screamy me me is what it is. Screamy me me,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: full body, hair on fire, eyes popping out like a
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: cartoon screaming. Maybe now this is a may the Schwartz
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: be with you situation? And may the Schwartz be with
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: you situation and right now the force, all right, the
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: force is trying to escape the factory of sadness through
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the loading dock, and they're like, I gotta get out
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: of here. I'm gonna leave the loading dock. No one
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: will stop me. You got Jim Schwartz, who is technically
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: under contract the brown defensive players. Many of the headliners
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: having social media meltdowns because Jim Schwartz, who appears is out.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: But again he's under contract.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And the issue is this, Like I was, I was
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: interacting with I got an email from a guy in
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Ohio is a Browns fan, and he reached out to me.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I wrote, I made the mistake of writing back. I
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: usually don't write back. And I said, well, he's all
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: freaking out about He's like, well, Jim Schwartz isn'tnna go anywhere.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I know you're going to talk about this to night.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: He's not going anywhere. Don't be wrong, malor you know that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: All I said, well, it doesn't matter. And I tried
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to explain to this person. I said, listen, contracts in
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Cleveland are like grocery receipts. You're giving the receipt, you
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: crumple it up, or you just ignore it and it
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: eventually gets tossed into the trash.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: That's it. So if you're done working in.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: One warehouse, the Factory of sadness, there are other warehouses
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: that are hiring. They've got the same forklifts, and the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: lighting's a little bit better.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: And all that stuff.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: But here's the other thing. Bringing him back would be
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: bad if he doesn't want to be there. As the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: line goes, you want volunteers, you don't want hostages, and
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: so he's going to be a debbie.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Down and all that. You shouldn't bring him back.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: You don't need a guy pacing the hallways like he's
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: waiting for jury duty to end.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: You don't want that.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: And I will point out the conniption fit is justified.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: The Browns had options. They had options, and there weren't
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of good options. And Schwartz was popular by
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: all accounts, did a good job with the Browns defense.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: While he's been in Cleveland, and so he wanted the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: corner office and he lost out. Now if he lost
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: out to Rasmataz, okay, you lost out to Rasmtaz. It happened,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: bigger name bigger I've lost radio jobs people that were
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: bigger names were terrible, like ex athletes or TV people
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that just suck at radio.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: They're not don't understand the art of radio. But they
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: got the job in a bigger name. I understand why
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: the company did it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: But if you lose out to somebody who doesn't have
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: as much experience or does have as much but it
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: hasn't been like Schwartz has been a head coach, not
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: a good one. You lost out the Dolesville. You lost
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: out the Dollsville. Again, if Cleveland had hired a runway model,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: a hobby as the coach, fine, you understand, you say, okay,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: you know, the hotter person won. Instead, they picked spam coaching,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: spam processed salty, shelf stable, and that's what they picked.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: And so Jim Schwartz saw the label, he checked the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: expiration date and said, all right, I'm out, see you
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: letter it suckers.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: And so yeah, it's drama.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: It's not that much drama because it's understandable, that's a
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: natural reaction.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: It's possible that he'll.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Calm down and say okay, I'll be fine, but it's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: more likely than not that he started sending messages to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a bunch of different teams saying hey, I'm available, I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: can get out of a contract, I don't want to
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: be here and let's go and the Raiders the car
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, those are not great situations. But the good
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: thing about being a defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: is that there's not a lot lower you can go.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: There's not a lot lower you can go than the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. It's like being in the sewer. Well, how
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: much lower can you go?
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: You're in the sewer.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: You know you're already in the sewer well as a
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: lower level. Okay, fine, but not much lower, not much
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: lower than the sewer. That's where we are.

• 24:52
  Speaker 1: going on? Eric? Welcome? Hello? Hey, Hey, I got they
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: got the horror not Ryan, I love the heart right
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: there you go.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Hey, I was wondering if you heard what Lebron
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: said when he's trying to lecture us on how hard
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: it is you play the whole schedule in the NBA
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: compared to the eighties and nineties.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Now what did you say.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: Oh, he was just saying that. He was saying like, oh,
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: people are faster and stronger and and the uh, they
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: don't play in the little post anymore. It's not crowded.
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: So then they're just spread out in game, higher paid
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: blah blah blah. But then uh, we're out of the
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: LA lineup that does some money, always has games worthy on.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: He said when he was playing in the in the NBA,
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: he had to.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: Deal with a coach. You know, coach fights commercial flights.
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: They said that his meals were like hot dogs at
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: the airport, you know. And the guys now get you know,
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: they got conger planes, they got chefs, you know. They
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: Lebron was going over his root team for a day,
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: which was just like sitting in cold and uh that
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: productions and just as a life of you know, these
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: billionaire and it's just ridiculous.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it is.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, I got a couple of thoughts on the air.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: First of all, I was able.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I was a young, young, young lad back in the
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: nineties when I started covering the NBA, and it I
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: remember every generation complaints because I remember the guys who
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: played in the seventies were still hanging out in the
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: early nineties, and those guys complained they had to play
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: three games in a row, they had to plot, they
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: had to fly commercial flights, they had to fly.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: The day of games, and so those guys we complained.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: About it, but it was to me it was much
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: more difficult in the eighties because of the physicality and
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: they hadn't they didn't have the bells and whistles they
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: have today. It's a much softer game than it was
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: back then. So yeah, but but I guarantee you Eric,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: whoever comes after Lebron will also say that Lebron had
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: it easy, and whoever the next star is is going
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: to because that's what every generation says the generation before.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: They're easy.
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: And so as we're talking about David Stern earlier, I
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: thought it was pretty ridiculous when he died they barely
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: even mentioned his name and not realizing that he's the
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: one that brought the loop to where it is now,
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: where they're making ten to millions of dollars and it's
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: a worldwide sport now, and you know, they they barely
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: mentioned his name. Was pretty sad.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he was.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: He was really good at his job, and you know,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the marketing the stars, making the stars the headliners and
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: not the teams, and the whole, the whole deal with
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: with David's turning.
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: One last thing, one last thing.
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: I have been to the lake and I did see
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: the bench Jinian Medford.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Oh nice, it's still there. Good, it hasn't been vandalized.
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah good, okay, right, it was actually a good shape,
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: even with REPETI everywhere else.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: But yeah, oh nice, yeah, yeah, very cool. All right,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Well thanks for doing that, Eric, I appreciate that. There
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: were a great tribute to Genie and Medford sign right
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: there on the bench near the playground there at that
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: park in La. The legendary call Gris caller, we've ever
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: had Genie Medford back in the day outstanding. Lucky Tony
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: is in the Bay area. Hello, Lucky Tony, welcome, Hey Ben,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: can you hear me?
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep, okay.
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: I wanted to clear up what I said the other
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: day about Rob Manford and his wife. What I was
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: trying to get at is that Rob Manford is such
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: a little wife and weasel that I was gonna wear
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: a Perry jersey with my dingle wing out.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: But then I saw her picture. Thanks Ben, Hollering James
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: is next in Minneaples. Hello, hollering James, the legendary James
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: James is long gone.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: All right, James's toast absolute.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Didn't he fell asleep or you think he's gonna get
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: a call back? All right? I wanted to mention this story,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: so let's get to this right now. So I'm glad
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: James is not there. So hippity hoppity, hippity hoppity. In
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the NBA, the Lakers Luka Doncik injured himself and he
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: attempted a three point shot like a fadeaway three point shot,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: and he suffered an injury. Lakers lost by thirty. He
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: left the game. And the reason he's stuffed a leg injury.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: He fell off the edge of the floor following a
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: three point attempt. And then JJ Reddick, the podcast guy
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that's pretending to be a coach doing cosplay as a coach.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Because he's buddies with Lebron.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: So JJ Reddick the podcaster then said he was concerned
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: because of the elevated court that they have in Cleveland.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: He said it's an absolute safety hazard. He said post
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: all right, so there's one problem with this The reason
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: that Luca was injured is because he did the hipoiie hop.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: He did not one, not two, not three, four bounces
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: backwards four. He was putting on the razzle, dazzle. He
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: was putting on the razzle. Now, the reason the floor
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: is elevated is because they have an ice rink underneath
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: it and they have an AHL team in Cleveland.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I guess they're called the Monsters.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: That's a good name, monsters, very scary. And so they
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: have the rink there and the basketball court are separated
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: by like they have that sub floor, which is what
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: they do. They put the sub floor down, they put
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: the so it's raised up a little bit. And so
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: you complained about that. But Luca, the reason he got
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: hurt is because he kept hopping, because he was putting
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: on a show for the cameras. The mustard is off,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: the hot dog is the late great chick Hern Laker
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: broadcaster back, And they would say, and he kept bouncing back,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: and then if you keep bouncing back, numb nuts, you're
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: gonna go off the court. How about some situational awareness,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: how about you're aware of what's going on, seriously, what
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: are you doing?
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: And then ready, I gotta defend my guy.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Of course, it was pretty funny because Barkley, when he
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't picking boggers, he pointed out, he just kept bouncing backwards,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: like what is that?
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: What are you doing?
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: It's a bad job by you. It is the Ben
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Mallor Show. As we are working our way through these
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: overnight hours, we do have asked Ben coming up here
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes, your questions and our answers,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: ask Ben.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: We began the night talking.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: About the snub alublub of Bill Belichick, where the Pro
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame released a statement trying to clarify
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the process. It's a big nothing about Bill Belichick and
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the snub and all that stuff. So they released the statement,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: said the Pro Football Hall of Fame understands and respect
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the passionate reaction to many fans, ridly of mimersion and
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: shinyse of the Hall of Fame. This is how it
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: sounded in my head in light of the published reports
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: regarding the voting results of the Class of twenty twenty six.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: It's that very passion that propels the game. So that's

• 32:02
  Speaker 1: year the Hall reviews the selection process and the composition
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: of the fifty person selection committee.
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: And then they they want to say if anybody, any
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: member violated the selection process by laws, they understand action
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: will be taking and that could include.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: That you'll be bumped off the committee. It's a whole
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: lot enough.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: What they should have said is on behalf of the
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame. We are all embarrassed for
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: the dummies that didn't vote for Bill Belichick.

  Speaker 1: of the questions?
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: All right, We're gonna start off with a question from
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: mad Jack. Hi Jack, good one. I haven't heard this
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: one before. What is or? I guess is or? Was
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: your favorite amusement park and favorite ride or attraction?
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I grew up in Orange County when I
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: was a kid, and I was right near Disneyland.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: When I was a kid, it was really cheap to
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: go to disney. I was very lucky.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I'm old. When I was a kid, I can go
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: to Disney then whenever I wanted. It was reasonable, it
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: was affordable, especially if you lived in Southern California. They
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: had a Southern California rate and it was like literally
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: just a few miles away from where I grew up.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: So I would go quite a bit. And I loved
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Pirates of the Caribbean. I loved the smell of Pirates
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: of the Caribbean. I knew every character. Now they changed it.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Disney obviously has gone woke over the years, and so
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: they used to have the dudes chasing the women, and
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: then I think they had the women chasing the dudes.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: And I don't even know what they have now, but
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: I love that ride. I loved the Pirates of the Caribbean.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: And I used to like Splash Mountain, but they got
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: rid of that.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Something else.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Now, what about you mark any favorite ride in an
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: amusement park?

• 39:55
  Speaker 3: everybody says. I just I don't know. I've never been
