  Speaker 1: In a previous episode of this show, we were ranting
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: about the stylings of Jerry Jones, good old Jared Jerry's World.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So that is where we're going to pick up here
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the end of the Yang. I mentioned that, and so
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we had Jerry Jones give the State of the Cowboy
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: address at the beginning of training camp in the Nard
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Aux nerd Well Now Cowboy all pro edge rusher extraordinaire,
• 2:19

• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Parsons pushing back, Push it back, now, push you back,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: pushing back against Jerry Joe's Now Michael publicly acknowledged that
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: he is the D word discouraged, oh my god, discourage
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that a long term deal has not been reached with
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the organization. So I don't know if you saw this
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: or heard about. We have some audio. We're going to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: play for you. We've got the receipts. So rather than
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: me give you the transcit riped of what Michaeh Parsons said,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: here's Michaeh. Parsons in his own words at Cowboy Camp,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: discussing why he's not all that please.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Honestly, Yeah, when you go around the league and you
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: see these the team's taking care of their best guys.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I see TJ got taken care of you know, Max
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: got taken care of, Miles got taken care of him.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: He got two years left on his deal.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Phil, It's hard to Yeah, you see a lot of player.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Around league and taking care of you.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: You know, I wish you had something like you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: that same type of energy.
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: All right, so let us discuss You mentioned Miles Garrett, TJ. Watt,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Max Crosby in his rant. So as we discussed do
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you feel bad? Do you feel bad for Micah Parsons
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: being discouraged by his Cowboy contract talks. So on this one,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I've got Kardashians, alphabet soup, and Russian roulette, and we
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we're gonna
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: make one of those elbow long State Fair style corn dogs.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: That you can get in the summer. You know, everything's
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: deep fried at those state fairs and man, they good.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So hey, my favorite part is, and I don't know
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: if you could pick up on it, a lot of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: people have other things going on. We're pretty much background noise.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: You're working, you're driving, you're trying to sleep, whatever. If
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: we can't play that again, though, if you listen in
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the background, you can hear one of Micah parsons teammates
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: there who was like his hype man, who was throwing
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: out names. If you can listen, turn up the audio
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: because I heard this. You could hear the teammate who
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: was shouting out like the next line for Micah Parsons,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: kind of like a good hype man. Take a listen again,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: listen to this.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Well, honestly, yeah, when you go around the league and
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: you see these other teams taking care of their best guys,
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: I see TJ got taken care of you know, Max
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: got taken care of, Miles got taken care of him,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: he got two years left on his jill. So it's
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: hard to hear. You see a lot of pig going around.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: The league and taking care of you something like you know.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, same type of all right, all right, you could
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: hear it in the background if you've turned the audio
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: all the way up. And yeah, your ear drums are
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: blown when I started talking. So this whole thing makes me.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I want a puke in my mouth, is what it
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: makes me. Michael Parsons is discouraged. Give me a break,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: all right, give me a break on this one. He's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: gonna get paid eventually. This is all part of the process.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It's all part of the show. Uh. And he's that
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the freaky freak of defense, right, all pro all this
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: face of the defense of America's team and all these
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: fine things here, and he's out there playing sad boy
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: with the media, right because Jerry Jones has not handed
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: him a cartoon sized blank check and say just sign
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: on the dot line. It's like a pity party a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: training camp. We're gonna start training camp and we're gonna
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: have a pity party. Just whine to the media. I'll
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: get my teammate over alongside here. We're gonna whine and complain.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And then, of course you got a sub tweet. He's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: already done that. He's already done that. Uh, post some
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: kind of cryptic social media message. Uh, and you do that.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: It's right out of the middle school play book, right
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: out of the middle school playbook. So you do that,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and I want the same energy as TJ. Watt, God
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and Max Crosby money and all that stuff. Boo freaking
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: who right are you kidding me here? Seriously? I was like,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: this just sounds terrible. It's classic cowboys dysfunction, is what
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: it is, Classic cowboys dysfunction. They are the Kardashians of
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the NFL, and they've been the Kardashians before the Kardashians,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and they'll be the Kardashians when the Kardashians are gone.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: It's the soap opera in cleats, not spandex in cleats.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And they've got the glitz, the glamour, the big headlines,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and God bless them because they provide content, a lot
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of great content right here. And man, is that good?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: That is really really important here. But the drama, it
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: goes on and on and on and on. You've got
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the star of the drama, the soap opera, the senile
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: old oil tycoon, old oil family money. And Jerry Jones,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: good old Jerry out there. He's doing his news conferences
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and he's got his sunglasses on, he's got his water
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: burger cup, he's got his nineteen ninety eight flip phone,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and he's got these ridiculous as I said, glasses on
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and the whole thing. And then you got Micah Parson's
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: who if you great him objectively as an NFL player,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: he's got to get paid. He's also fools. Go does
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: anyone think he's not fools?
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Go?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Anyone raising their hand? I don't see any hands raised.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Mike has got all these gaudy stats, and people get
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: all horny because they see the stats. And yet, despite
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: being a fantasy football superstar, when the games are the biggest,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: when the pressure is cranked up, where's Mike. Not where's Waldough,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: it's where's Mike? Where we I don't know? He is
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the defensive equivalent of what Dak Prescott is on offense.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: He just is. And you know, that's the proper way
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to approach this, because that's the reality. You can kid
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: yourself and put on your cowboy fanboy year and all
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: that stuff, but that's the way that there's a lot
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of empty calories. There a lot of empty calories when
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you look at the performance of one Micah Parson there
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and do not be fooled by the junk stats. Do
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: not be fooled by the junk stats when the games
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: don't matter. The moping over the payday, which is standard
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: fair and we'll have many more malle monologues about this.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: It's a popular topic this time of the sporting calendar there.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: But every player now thinks that they need to be
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the highest paid guy at their position the moment, the second,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the second they see someone else. It's the Ponzi scheme
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: situation involving ego is what it is here, and it's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: it's rather exhausting, maybe not for you, but I got
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: no life. They pay me to pay attention to this crap,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and so every day it's none of these stories here.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: It's the nbification, if you will, NBA official vacation of
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the NFL. So something used to happen only in the NBA,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and now it's it's spilled over to the NFL. Now
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Page two to Viva Las Vegas, Viva las Vegas, we go.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: That is where Pete Carroll, good old Pete, giving us
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the money quote he set the tone for the start
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: of Raiders training camp in Sin City, saying, quote, we're
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: going to win a bunch, and I don't care who
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: hears that close quote. So that is what we call
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: kids the money quote. So let's parse the words. What
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: do he said? It's fun game, let's parse the words.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So Pete Carroll saying the Raiders are going to quote
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: win a b those are his words and he doesn't
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: care who hears that. What are your impressions on this one?
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: So let me start by saying, I love Pollyanna Pete.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of Pollyanna. Pete. Pete Carroll parachutes
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: into town because the Raiders couldn't hire the coach they
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: wanted and Tom Brady got pinched by the NFL, and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: so he had to hire somebody. Had to hire somebody,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: so he hired this guy. And you know, Pete Carroll
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: comes in there, parachutes in like he's Zeus at a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: pep rally. And that's the beauty of Pete Carroll. He's
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: spraying faery dust around the Raider facility, making bold proclamations,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: bold decrees from good old Pete Carroll. It really is
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: wonderful when you put it under the Mallard microscope. We
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: like to put these things under the Mallard microscope. When
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you put it under the Mallard microscope. A bunch Pete
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Carroll said, the Raiders are gonna win a bunch of games.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: So a bunch is it's got to be the most
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: non committal, watered down, buzzword based catchphrase you could possibly
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: cook up in coach speak. Got it be it's NFL
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: alphabet soup. We essentially are saying, hey, Pete, Care's like, well,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: we hope to compete and not completely suck, and so
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: we're gonna win a bunch. Because I try to find
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: out what does a bunch mean? Does a bunch mean five?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Does a bunch mean ten? Does a bunch mean twelve? Fifteen?
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: What's a bunch? The Brady Bunch, that's an old show,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: but that was more. That was more than just a few.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: That was there was a lot of six kids as
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a lot. Is that a bunch? Is it six? So
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the Raider's gonna win six because a bunch? That's I
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: don't know. That's the only thing I could come up with.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I tried to find it by Google it and I
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: had said, what is a bunch? What is the number
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: of a bunch? And it's like, well, there's nothing, really,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It's not a defined definition of what a bunch is.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with six. So really, Pete Carroll's
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: saying the Raiders a gona win six games. More of
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the same, more of the same from the Raiders. And
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I hate to be the spoiler. The Legion of Boom
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: is not walking through that door in Vegas. And if
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: they do walk through that door, they're old men now,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: so forget about that. And in Vegas, the Raiders do
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: have an old Seahawk trash player, Geno Smith, and the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Seahawks when they traded Geno Smith, they went on about
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: cake and they got balloons to celebrate. They got rid
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: of that dead weight. So now you've got a quarterback
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: who's the equivalent of DCAF coffee. Like, what's the point
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: of drinking DCAF coffee? I don't get it. I don't
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: drink coffee, but what's the point of drinking DCAF coffee? Anyway?
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith is the guy that you call when your
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: QB one has decided to go on a vacation or
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: has been abducted by some kind of lizard people species
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: taken to the sub earth at the end of the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: flat earth underneath the hollow Earth, that's where you get
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith and he comes in there. Now, Gino is
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: not bad. People think I believe Geno Smith is bad.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I don't believe Gino Smith is bad. And we've had
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: our beef going back to his days at West Virginia.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: You don't let Gino cook, you know, let him cook.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: No one ever says let Geno Smith cook. You let
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Geno Smith simmer because his temperature is lukewarm. That is
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: what he is. Now. The Raiders have had such crappy
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: quarterback play that's actually an upgrade. That's actually an upgrade.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: That's how bad the Raiders' offense has been. But it's
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: essentially built around a bubble screen and a wish. That's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the Raider offense. So unless a bunch, unless a bunch
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: means more than six like the Brady bunch, and you're
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: just getting a participation trophy at this particular point. You know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the Bravado. I know you're supposed to be the hype man.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Everyone's got a hype up thirteen this time of the year,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and I am cognizant of that. I realized that's part
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: of the game. You're in the hype business. At show business.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: You got to get people excited, excite the fan base,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: excite the electorate. It's like political rallies here, these training
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: camp situations. But in reality, when you look at the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Raiders here, this franchise has not had any kind of
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: real identity since Al Davis was dominating trades using a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: rotary phone. That's the last time the Raiders. I mean,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: when I was a kid, the Raiders used to always
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: brag about how they had the top winning percentage in
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: all the sports. There used to be these things called
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: pocket schedules. I remember when the Raiders were in LA
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and I was a young lad and we used to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: get those pocket schedules, and I was a little kid,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh man, these are cool. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the Raiders always in the back of the pocket schedule.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: They had, you know, commitment to excellence Al's quote there,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and they had the top winning percentages over however many
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: years and the Raiders are always like number one. And
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: if you go back to last twenty five years generation,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the Raiders are in the bottom five and all of
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: North American sport, it's just a wild how much they blow.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: They are so bad. But hey, we love Pete Carroll,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Me and Pete Carroll of course lifetime friends. When he
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: was coaching at USC, he used the malorphone to do
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a phoner the Fox Sports radio the malorphone. Pete Carroll
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: used the malorphone. So there was that. And unfortunately, though
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you cannot bluff your way. You might win a couple
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: extra games because you got good coach, but you're not
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: gonna win enough to really move the needle in a
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: division with Kansas City. And then you've got the Chargers
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and the Broncos who kind of flip flip flop there.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Now the last word to Tampa. We go, to Tampa,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: we go where the Bucks star wide receiver man that
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: was up for grabs in the off season, Chris Godwin, Well,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: he's not up for grabs anymore. He stayed in Tampa.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Chris Godwin reportedly had to have a not first a second,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a second ankle sir, Did you see this? He had
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: a second ankle surgery during the off season that wasn't
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: talked about until like this week. Say what. He was
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: already rehabbing from the first operation, and then they said, surprise,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: we're going back in So can you unscramble what this means?
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: So I will be medicine man Mallor. On this one,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I will unscrabble, unscramble what it means using my medical knowledge.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I'll put on my medical hat here doing overnight talk radio.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: So my first thought was the natural question that I
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: think you probably had, and I'm just like, we all
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: have this just out of curiosity. What exactly did the
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: first operation fix. It's one of these things where I
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: goof on these stories the surgery was successful. They almost
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: always say the surgery was successful. And an athlete has
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: an operation and it's only successful because they didn't die
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: in the operating room. But it does happen. Often these
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: operations do not fix the problem. They don't. And it's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: kind of like, I don't know, rotating your tires. When
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: you go in and have your ankle operating, it's like, well,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: that didn't work, let's try this again. Maybe this will
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: fix the tires. Right, It's what are you doing? It's
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: an ankle. It's not as tires, it's his ankle. And
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I think maybe I'm wrong on this. I just do
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the overnight shore, but I think it's attached to the ground.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: When he makes cuts as a wide receiver to try
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to zip past wide receivers, and I don't think it
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: belongs in a petri dish at a lab somewhere for
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: medical experiments. But that appears to be what's happening. So
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: in the age of the robotic arm, the three D
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: printed ligaments, and all the other gadgets and thing of
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the jigs they have in medicine and all this cutting
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: edge rehab that they love to brag about, and all
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: this stuff, this appears to be it's just my understanding
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: of it. Maybe I'm wrong. It appears to be medical
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Russian roulette. We spun the chamber in the operating room
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and we took a shot. Click any click, nothing, So
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: we're gonna try togain. I mean, it'll probably work. Kind
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: of reminds me, and you probably do the same thing.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Like when my WiFi goes out at the Malord mansion.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: What I do is a savvy tech move. I go
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and unplug the Wi Fi the router, and then I
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: wait ten to twenty seconds and I plug it back in,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: and then I expect it to be fixed. And sometimes
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: it's not fixed, And you know what I do. Then
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I do it again. You do the same thing, but
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: you do it again, and then you wait and you
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: plug it back in and it doesn't work, and you
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: do it again, and why not, you know, what the hell,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I'll go for it. So the Bucks even some playoff team,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: not a great team, a middling team, kind of in
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the middle of the NFC Tampa Bay and it's like, well,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: we'll just turn Chris Godwin on and off again. We'll
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: put them back in the operating room and all this stuff.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: But he's going into the year. The expectation was he's
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: going to be a reliable, dependable, lunch pale guy. He's
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: been that player. You don't really talk a lot about him.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: He just goes out and gets you eighty catches or
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: so a year and a bunch of touchdowns and big
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: blaze and that's it. And you don't really make a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: fuss about Chris Godwin. And so now he's rehabbing his
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: second ankle operation. So if you're Baker Mayfield, good luck Baker,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: good luck Baker Mayfield. As the Bucks already just at
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the start of training camp, tiptoeing their way into the
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: season and literally hanging on by an ankle.

  Speaker 9: Getting out of town now, getting out of time. Welcome
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: We are in the air everywhere besides one another as
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: we stay up together fighting the goblins. We are coast
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: to coast, bort the motor and beyond on the mast
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: and swaggeringly powerful microphones of FSR emmnating live from the
• 21:17

• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Studios as approved by Chip and the cues. He's always
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: up late with us no matter what. And this portion
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible in
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: part by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: tire Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast and
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation tire rac dot com. The
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: way tire buying should be, so our lead this hour
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: is from the Natty. We follow the story of the day,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and many of the stories are rich football players complaining
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: they're not rich enough. These are, of course, first world problems,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the latest and this is the soup of the day.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: That would be in Cincinnati where Bengals pass rushed extraordinaire,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: a beacon of light in the darkness that is the
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Bengals defense. Trey Hendrickson has exited stage right or is
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: it stage left, depends which direction he went. But yeah,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: here's what we know. If you didn't see this, and
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: perhaps not, we are told that Hendrickson has relocated from
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: his football home in southern Ohio slash Northern Kentucky and
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: gone to Jacksonville, Florida, not because he wants to hang
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: out with angry Bill in Jacksonville instead, as holdout is beginning,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and he said, bye, boy, isn't going to be anywhere
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: near the facility. Hendrickson telling that he relocated, telling those
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the care that he relocated out of Ohio to the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: state of Florida as a means to remove himself from
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the area surrounding training camp there for the Bungals and
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: not to not to be a distraction. So okay, well
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: that's he's clearly not attraction. He's not there, so it's
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: that there's no distraction. Of course, he maybe want to
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: rather be in Florida, you know, whether it's nice to
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: get the water there and all that. So let us discuss, Okay,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: let us discuss the question. How does this Trey Hendrickson
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: hold out end in Cincinnati? So I've got Chick fil a,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Beanie Baby, and kiss and we will combine all of
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: these things together, and we are going to put the
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: biscuit in the basket, is what we're going to do.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: So number one, I said, what number is it? So
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson looking into my crystal ball, as a distant
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostradinas, who used to
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: be an active member, an active member of the Malam Milisia,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: now is semi retired from day to day activity in
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the militia. It's not for everyone. So Hendrickson's holdout right
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: now is hotter than the chili in Cincinnati at a
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: chili cookoff there in Cincinnati, real hot, right, And so
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: this is not a minor skirmish. See now we're getting
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: to the part of the story where it gets good.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: It's one thing to complain to each other in the offseason.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: But now training camp is going on and Hendrickson is deciding,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go full Alamo. I am going Now
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: he's not in San Antonio, but he's going Alamo. There
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: barricading himself in a compound in my cartoon bubble above
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: my head, somewhere in the greater Jacksonville area. And he's
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: doing that, barricading himself against the Bengals. We know how
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the Alamo ended. Did not end well, did not end well.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: They don't like to talk about that. I didn't know
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: that when I watched Pewee Herman back in the day,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: but I learned I died. I also saw that I
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: think is his bike. I saw it was going to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: be immortalized there at the Alamo, Peewee's bike from those
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: old movies. Anyway, listen, here's the back to the point.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: So when holding out, and that is what Hendrickson is doing,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: he will be racking up fins like a gambler in Vegas,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: a high roller who's not doing very well now. Already
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: he's lost over one hundred thousand dollars for skipping Mini
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: camp to Ching to Ching to Chin. He's facing fifty
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars a day and millions once the season begins.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Now per game, once the exhibition game start, his per
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: game penalty will be eight hundred and seventy seven thousand
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: dollars fines per game. If I lost eight thousand, eight
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven thousand dollars per day of work,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I would need some serious drugs to handle that. That hurts.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I don't care how much money you got. That hurts.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: And so where we are now, as I analyze and
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: looking into my crystal ball, we are at the part
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: of the story where it's like Chick fil A. It's
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: a game of Chicken Chicken, who's gonna who's gonna fold?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Who's gonna fold? Right now, the big stumbling block and
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I don't believe there's a workaround for Trey Henderson is
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the Bengals front office. The franchise charter of the Cincinnati
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: football team under Mike Brown and his tutelas is that
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: they pinch pennies. They pinch pennies so much that Lincoln
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: starts screaming, that's how tight they pinched their pennies in Cincinnati. Right,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: So they charge players for gatorade we talked about that.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: It's a famous Bengals story up until just a few
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: years ago, and they've already paid a lot of money.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: It is true. They paid Mega Mega Mega Bucks for
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase and t Higgins two hundred
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: and seventy six million dollars combined for that offensive trio.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: That's a lot for the mom and pop delicatessen there
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Nevertheless, this is not specifically about the money. Now,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: it's always about the money, but this one is not
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: specifically about the money. What I mean by that, let
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: me put some clarity on that. It's about the pigheadedness
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: of the Bengals, the stubbornness of the Bengals who have
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: a refusal and they draw a line in the sand there.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: They will not give out multi year guarantee. They have
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: a tradition and much like Jim Man said, it's a
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: tradition unlike any other. So they will not will not
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: possibly break that. And that's problematic. Now, what's the compromise?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: What is the comerace compromise would be what Trey Hendrickson
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: looking for some kind of endorsement deal from Southwest Airlines.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I want to get away endorsement. He's already gone to Florida.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: And we remember months ago, back in March, we talked
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: about it on previous episodes of the show. You might remember,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: you probably don't, but we talked about it. The Bengals
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: let Trey Hendrickson shop himself. They let him go to market.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: They said, all right, go see what you can get
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: and see who wants you. And there were teams that
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: wanted Trey Hendrickson. And there were teams like the Colts
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: and the Lions and the Packers and some others that
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: supposedly had some interest in Trey Hendrickson. And so then
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the teams said, okay, we want this guy. And Hendrickson said, okay,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I found some teams that want me in a trade
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and said let's work out a deal. And so the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Bengals are like, okay, we're gonna work out a deal.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: We want a first round draft pick, and we prefer
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: it to be a top ten pick in the draft.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: We'd like to get that. And everyone that was interested
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: in Trey Hendrickson suddenly was no longer interested. They suddenly
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: realized that we're not really uninterested, We're not that into it.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: And so that's it. And so they you know, they
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: lower the buy now price. If they go back to
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: market and say I will lower the buy now price
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and you give us a second round pick and a
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: fifth round pick or something like that, there is a
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: deal there. And then when that happens, the next thing
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: that happens I've seen the script is Joe Burrow comes
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: out moaning and grumbling and no bo just like that,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: all right now, page two, by request, by request, we
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: go to Los Angeles, where there have been no games played,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: there have been really no practices and already problems. You
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: see the Rams who can ram it all day and
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: ram it all night. They're starting quarterback, quarterback number one,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Matthew staff Well, he's not going to be practicing. He'll
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: be off to the side there. And why oh my
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: aching back, Yeah, coach Sean mcvagh telling reporters that, well,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: it's just not good. His back is cracking. And McVeigh
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: does not expect that to be a major issue, he said,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: likely with a smile on his face. So what stands
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: out about the fact that Matthew Stafford before even a practice,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: is already out for the Rams. So what stands out
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: is the date we are in the month of July.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: We are in the month of July, and Matthew Stafford
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: is already being baby And we're not talking about Week
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: six in Baltimore against the Ravens defense. We are talking
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: about day number one, all right, and he's already watching
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: from the sidelines like he's in the VIP ten at
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Coachella and he's watching practice. So the Rams, now, they
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: somehow made it through last season, got all the way
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: to the playoffs, and gave Philadelphia, the team that would
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: win the championship, their toughest game by far of anyone
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: in the postseason. Everyone else was a pushover against the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Eagles except the Rams in a blizzard in Philadelphia. And
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: yet Stafford was standing for the most part upright at
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the end of that even though he had a lot
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: of stuff that was broken. So the question is can
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: they do it again? Can the Rams do it again
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: without Stafford? And right now they're off to a bad start. Stafford,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I'm convinced, is being held together by Elmer's glue. Nice
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: to love Elmer's glue. When I was in elementary school,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I played with Elmer's glue. I would put it all
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: over my hands and then peel off the elmer's glue,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: and I was able to kill a lot of time
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: in the back of the classroom while the other people
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: were learning, I was playing with glue. But if you
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: touch Matthew Stafford just a little too hard, a little
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: bit on the wrong side, he shatters. He literally shatters,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: and and he's made out of peanut brittle. Now, I
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: like peanut britle. I'm a fan of a peanut britle.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I enjoy the peanut brittle. But you can't have your
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: quarterback made out of peanut britle. That's a problem. So
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: when Sean McVeigh comes out and announces it's not a
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: major issue, like when we Ba said it's not a
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: major issue, let me translate that. I have a translater
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: key here, a key that I put in the machinery.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I twist the key and then it spits out what
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: McVeagh really means. He means, we're already panicking, but we
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: have to pretend publicly like we're not, and we have
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: to keep everything clean publicly, is what that means. So McVeigh,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: in order for this to work with Stafford, he has
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: to keep Matthew Stafford wrapped in bubble wrap like a
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: collectible Beanie Baby from the late nineties, like a ninety
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: seven Beanie Baby. He's got to keep that bad boy
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: wrapped for the resale market. And you just know that
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: when October comes around and the weather the fall weathers here,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: well not here, because we're in la the weather doesn't change,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: but where the leaves start changing, that beautiful fall weather,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and there's a little crisp in the air, and all
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: that stuff in Halloween's around the corner. When we get
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: to October, Matthew Stafford is going to be like one
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: of those skeleton costume things that's all broken at the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: spirit stores that pop up in October. And the backup plan,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: don't worry is Jimmy g that's right, Jimmy Garopolo, who's
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: also made of glass and now Seanmigray. The great thing aboutmcvanny,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: he's proven that he's right about this. He's got so
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: much hubris, he's oozing with hubris that he believes he
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: can figure it out. That he'll just go into a
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: sorcerer's workshop and he'll hold a meeting with some warlocks
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: and some wizards and he'll figure things out with Jimmy
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: G and Jimmy G is not great and he's a
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: middle aged older quartererback, but they'll find a way to
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: make it work. And Groppolo, even if he's not good
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: at playing quarterback, he's got a great drawlne really good
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: draw line, and he's been in big games. Hadn't played
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: well in most of them, but he's been in big games.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: And so he gives the Rams someone who looks really
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: good holding a clipboard and wearing a visor on the sidelines.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: That's what he does, all right, now, final point to
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: a social media brew ha ha we go and I
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: got a kick out of this motown beef motown beef
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: on display. And this does tie into Matthew Stafford. So
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: a boy named Sue in doma Con Sue who is
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: on the short list of athletes who have blocked yours
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: truly because of this show and things I've said on
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: this show. The thin skin tough guy and doma Con Sue,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: who was known for smashing players faces in on the
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: football field, couldn't handle overnight gas baggery. But nonetheless so
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: and Domakan Sue went on social media, went on a
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: tirade ripping the Lions. Now Sue retired from the NFL. Recently,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: he took some shots at the Lions, saying that he,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: meaning Sue, should have been paid more than Matthew Stafford
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: during the twenty fifteen NFL free agency So what intrigues
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: you the most about this one? So? To me, the
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: thing that stands out like a throbbing sore thumb is
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: the utter stupidity of we're talking about a decade old
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: grudge and it's so ridiculous. It's not like these guys
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: both didn't make tons of money, and here's Sue still upset.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: This has got to be one of the dumbest things
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I've heard come out of the mouth of a grown
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: ass man who was known as a mean sob. While
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: you play right, and Sue said, I should have been
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: paid more than Matthew Stafford said what? So this goes again,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: this goes back. We're going to twenty fifteen, the off
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: season of twenty fifteen, so soon. Let me get it straight.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: So you think a defensive tackle, a position that often
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: rotates off the field on third down, and a guy
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: that would get flagged for major penalties on a regular basis,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: you believe that player should have been paid more than
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: the starting quarterback, the face of the franchise, the only
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: guy in the league who touches the ball on every
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: single offensive play. That would be the equivalent of me
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: going to management here and saying, hey, listen, we have
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: a more diverse audience, We have a more loyal audience
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: than Colin Coward. You should pay me more. They don't.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: They would laugh at me, and then they would they
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: would spit a loogie right between my eyes, right above
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: my nose, between my eyes, and I'd walk out. To
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: put it a different way in musical terms, Sue does
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: not understand. Tell me, you don't understand roster building without
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: telling me. If you think of the classic rock group Kiss, right,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: it would be like they've they've had a few drummers
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: over the years with Kiss. But Eric Singer aka Catman
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: the Catman, right, Eric Singer, if he walked into the
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: record label and he said, listen, I gotta get more money. Okay,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I got to get more money. I got to be
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: paid more than Gene Simmons because I bang the drums
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: louder than he sings, right, And so they would say
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: what they would say. The record label would say, don't
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: let the door hit you. Where the good Lord split
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: you is what they now. They wouldn't spit a loogie,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I'd get the lougie, but that's what he would get.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: And yet here we are. That's in Domakon Sue on
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: this one. That's what he's doing now, don't get me wrong.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: And Donakan Sue, even though you had to hear a
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: beef with our show, was a very dominant, nasty, violent player,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: and he was like one of the last guys that
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: played like that. We have a bunch of wusses playing
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: football relative to that era and players before, they're softer
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: than ever now. But that's the way it goes, right,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: get softers and get more violent. People can't handle violence.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: In the NFL went from a mom and pop business
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: where they sold NFL's hardest hits and they celebrated that,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: and they got sued and they have so much money
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: and they have lawyers involved, and so they changed everything.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: And now you can't do that, and you have to
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: limit practices and because the players can't handle the practices
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: and so and Sue was a problem child on the
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: field and all that stuff. But regardless of all of that, again,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: this is about a beef and Domacons, who ten years
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: later still complaining that the Lions paid Matthew Stafford more
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: than him. All right, and again, quarterbacks, we don't necessarily
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: like them, but they get paid a lot. They have
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: the ball in their hands all the time. They're the
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: ones that side off and who wins and loses and
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: defensive tackles. While they are important, they can also get
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: double teamed and get taken out of competition. Right, and
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: so there you go. I will give Endomiconsu a little
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: extra credit. It's a little bit for holding on to
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: a grudge. The bad blood, bad blood, bad blood. What
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: you're gonna do when the bad blood comes for you?
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go to the third degree,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Here we go, this is one big gets grailed. Here
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: we go. Cooo.
• 39:37
  Speaker 10: So the Titans are in the market for a quarterback.
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: Number one overall pick cam Ward will certainly start, but
• 39:42
  Speaker 10: with Will Levis out for the season, the backup plan
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: is very murky. Yeah, Ben, who do you think the
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: Titans should go to to fill their voyd? A quarterback?
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: They got to find a guy in the Canadian Football League.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: The top available free agent quarterbacks right now are Carson Wentz,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Okay and CJ. Bethard. Those the top available unless they
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: want to take Teddy Bridgewater from that high school in
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Miami where he's apparently coaching, but he got suspended. But
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: that's pretty much it like of people we've heard of.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I think Tyler Huntley might be on side also, but
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: there's there's not a lot there, so they're pretty much
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: screwed at this point.
• 40:19
  Speaker 10: Next, former safety and current analyst Ryan Clark said on
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: TV Monday that the team with the most pressure to
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: reach the Super Bowl this season is the Baltimore Ravens.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Is he right, No, it's got to be Buffalo. His
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Buffalo has been teetering on the brink, as have the Ravens.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: The Bills, though, if they don't get it done, and
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: you got Belichick out there that wants to go back
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: to the NFL, if Belichick does well at North Carolina,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: that's a natural fit Belichick to Buffalo. So the McDermott's toast,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: if the Bills don't get to the super Bowl, he
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: should be fired this year. If they don't get the
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, So I'm going Buffalo next.
• 40:54
  Speaker 10: Former gym Mike Tannebaum is coming with the hot takes again, Yeah,
• 40:57

• 42:39
  Speaker 1: wife disrespects and pisses off one of your very best
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: friends and you know she was absolutely in the wrong
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: asking for a friend. That's from Jay school.
• 42:50
  Speaker 11: Oh you got to learn to laugh, And I think
• 42:53
  Speaker 11: that's what everyone will do, you know, It's just one
• 42:55
  Speaker 11: of those things. They're going to keep laughing for a
• 42:57
  Speaker 11: long time, hunger and be like, you have a good
• 43:00
  Speaker 11: sense of humor.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Lady Sideburns rights in says, how do I confront
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: my partner about their dragon breath? When don't you think
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: someone named Lady Sideburns would have dragon breath? Also, I
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: was gonna.
• 43:12
  Speaker 11: Say, maybe you should take care of your sideburns first
• 43:15
  Speaker 11: before thinking about other people's business. But at the same time,
• 43:18
  Speaker 11: if you are in their mouth all the time, that's
• 43:20
  Speaker 11: really gross and you don't want them to have bad breath.
• 43:21
  Speaker 11: I dated this one guy once. Oh my god, he
• 43:23
  Speaker 11: had the worst breath I've ever smelled on a person.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: You would have dealt with it if he had the
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: big bank.
• 43:29
  Speaker 11: I would be like, Hey, I'm gonna go brush my teeth.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: You want to come brush my.
• 43:32
  Speaker 11: Brush our teeth together? Oh yeah, just to encourage him

• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Wow, don't laugh, you buy Muffer's birthday mouthwash.

• 44:04
  Speaker 1: You can't. If you win the lottery, you can't.

• 44:09
  Speaker 11: the trenches.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. We all know that.
• 44:12
  Speaker 11: It's usually after someone dies, though, so like if their

  Speaker 11: regular husband died and you're still there after slide in,
• 44:18
  Speaker 11: you slide in. They trust you.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Because it's on the big I don't do list, as
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: you know, but on big, on the big board, you
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: move up. Yeah, it's like the minor league system.
• 44:27
  Speaker 11: You could even be his best friend. You don't even
