  Speaker 1: as approved by JD in Boston, who goes by for
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: some reason, the moniker Sharknado.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: We don't know why, but he does. We don't know why.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: This portion of the Ben Malor Show on Fox made
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: possible by our friends at tire Rack.

• 1:54
  Speaker 1: raq dot com the way tire buying should be. So
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from baseball, and I reelize.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: We don't normally talk baseball during the regular season. It's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: not much of a talker. I picked my spots on that,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: especially when there's football going on. Another amazing night of
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: baseball at Dodgers Stadium, the Dodgers and the Phillies. Phillies
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: winning the National League East, not that that means much anymore,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: but they did do that, and trying to wrap up
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the home field advantage is one of the top two teams.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: They and the Brewers will likely get home field advantage.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Not that that matters.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: There's really no home field in baseball. So anyway, get
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to the point, please so show Hail Tani might know
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: this by now, maybe you haven't been paying attention. So
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: show hal Tani was pitching a no hitter.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: No granted it was midway through the game.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It was five innings into the game, so it wasn't
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: in the eighth or the ninth inning. But he was
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: pitching no hit baseball for five innings. And then Dave
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Roberts did what Dave Roberts does. He cuts the balls
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: off history. That's what Dave Roberts does. He neuters hit
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: any chance at history. Dave Roberts chop, chop, cut, cut,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: there goes history, and he pulled them over the game.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Now Dodgers had a four to nothing lead, and at
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that point I might as well have been the Philly fanatic.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I was go Phillies, Go, Go Phillies go. I admit it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I'm not ashamed to admit it. I admit it.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And then I got my wish. Philadelphia conducted batting practice
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that years ago.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I used to go to batting practice.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: They hit the ball harder during the game than they
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: do in batting practice. Okay, extended BP for the fight
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in Phills against that wobbly Dodger bullpen, and Philadelphia put
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: up six runs in the sixth inning, five consecutive.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: It's ended with six runs.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Then the TODs came back to tie the game, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of course the Phillies teeing off more on that Dodger bullpen.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: They ended up hitting another big home run the ninth,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and he ended up with a nine to six victory
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in the game. And we again, we don't only talk
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: about baseball other than the playoffs, and we picked our
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: spots at this time of the year.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: But this is the exception of the rule.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And then I saw some of Dave Roberts commentary after
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the game, and Dave Roberts said that it was predetermined
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that the decision was made prior to the game that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Otani was only going to go five innings no matter what. Now,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: keep in mind he had only thrown sixty eight pitches.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Sixty eight pitches, and this schmndrick Dave Roberts takes him
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: out of the game. Sixty eight pitches out of the game.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: No hitter doesn't matter, all right, So let us discuss.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Give me your school of thought on the Dodgers philosophy.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: It's the organizational philosophy led by Dave Roberts, who's in
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the dugout for pulling sho hail Tani from a no
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: hitter after just sixty eight pitches. So I've got Jim Nance,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Milli Vanilli and Tiny Vodka Battle, and we will combine
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: make corn dogs because the Dodgers have a lot of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: time beat corn dogs because they're not gonna be in
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the playoffs very long with these morons are anyway, all right,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So hey, let's just start with this. I've determined based
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: on years and years of watching this in this era
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of the Dodgers, this is on brand.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: It is on brand.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts and the Dodgers are the only team in
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: baseball that consistently consistently does this. Like there are other
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: teams that do it occasionally, the Dodgers lead all of
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: baseball in this. Individual greatness is not allowed when you
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: play for the Dodgers. It is not allowed. Dave Roberts
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: has taken more pitchers out with no hitters than anyone
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in the history of baseball. That's my stat I don't
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: even know if it is true. We're just gonna go
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: with it. And they always do it out of an
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: abundance of caution.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Which drives me Bukers okay, drives me bokers, no, but
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: he knows when someone's gonna get hurt.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Nobody knows what the perfect amount of pitches is. People
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: say a hundred pitches, but that's only because it's a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: round number, and people love round numbers. And there have
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: been pitchers from the old school that pitched way more
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: than that and didn't have any problems. And there are
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: pictures in the modern game that throw a lot less
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: than one hundred pitches.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: They're hurt all the time.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: But yet gotta pull o'tani, Gotta take o'tani out of
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the game, right and put the parade of terribles, the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: horribles out of the bullpen there. And its organizational malpractice
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: is what it is. And the Dodters are mastereda now.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: As I said on the Socials, if Dave Roberts managed
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan, the greatest strikeout artist in baseball history, if
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts managed Nolan Ryan, he would have ended his
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: career with no no hitters, zero, no no hitters. Bumpkis
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: all right, and he'd be he'd be sitting the dugout
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: after the fifth inning, and Dave Roberts would say, hey, Nolan,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I got to talk to you, and Dave would go
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: down and Nolan would say, yes, skip, what do you need?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And Roberts would then explain that that seventy two pitches
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: wish you through. That's what the computer says. We got
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to take you out because we don't like your chances
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: facing the lineup the third time through.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Well, wait a minute.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: In a previous life, I had seven no hitters. Doesn't matter,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter, doesn't matter. You'd never even have heard of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the Ryan Express, the greatest strikeout pitcher of all time,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: if he got to play with Dave Roberts.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. And then the other.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Part about this, the Dodgers coddle these guys. They absolutely
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: call you baby. They're pitchers. They hide behind pitch counts
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and the analytics, and they are convinced that they are
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the smartest people.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: In the room. And you're a moron. I'm a dumb dumb.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: We're all idiots and they know everything. And what's the result.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: It's a kunga line. If Tommy John surgeries, you get it,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Tommy John, you get it. Tommy John to Tommy John,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: as Jim Nance would say, all right, they've turned elbow surgery,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Tommy John surgery into a franchise tradition unlike any other.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: It's right next to the Dodger Dog and the late
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: great Vinscully. That's the Dodgers, all right. That's how they
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: operate a pyramid of shredded ligaments behind Dodger Stadium from
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: their pictures and despite all the evidence indicating what they
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: are doing is fundamentally broken. All right, what they are
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: doing doesn't work. They won't change. They will They're stubborn.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: They will not change, they will not adapt, won't do it.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like bad parenting. Now, you think about
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: bad parenting. If you're a parent and you expect very
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: little from your children, you're going to get very little
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: from your children. If you expect greatness, you may get greatness,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: but at least you'll get some good stuff, even if
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it's not greatness. And Dave Roberts so robotic, and he's
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the face as I realize there's other people making these decisions,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and he's just getting a fat check to hang out
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: with the sports writers and bust balls before the game.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: But Dave Roberts a robotic it's by the book, and
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: it's middle manager Bull crap, which I can't stand. There's
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: no room for the human element in coaching. Like sometimes
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you have to trust your gut. Occasionally you have to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: trust your gut. It does not happen. And this is
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a great example. They had Otani who's on the mound
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: dealing and no, cannot do it, cannot have it, cannot
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: risk it, abundance of car sh add cannot do it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: The iPad in the dugout says, five innings, Max, I
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: am merely following my orders. Yeah, okay, So what happened
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to go to the bullpen and give up nine runs?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Nine runs? Rather than have a picture push the limits?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: You can never push the limits of the human body
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and test the boundaries, which I think I thought was
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: kind of athletic competition testing the limits and things like that,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: But I guess not.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Things have changed, not for the better.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: So but they again, this is the whole thing, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: it drives me's The Dodgers organizational philosophy is to have
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: guys do the bare minimum, clock in, just do enough,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: make it look like you're busy when you're futzing around
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: on your phone, just make it look like you're actually
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: doing something right. And that's it and just do enough.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Never ever strive, never ever.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Strive for anything more than that. Don't do it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: That's the Dodgers. Don't expect greatness. Because they don't expect greatness,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and you get paid.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: A lot of money.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: There's no room for improv no room for improv at all.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Just the dogma of the nerd, the dogma of the nerd.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: That's the Dodgers. It's a box checking exercise.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I have a couple people I still know over there
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: when I did stuff years ago with the Dodgers, and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I actually was sending messages to a few of them,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and I said, listen, you could literally take anyone out
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: of the pavilion a Dodgers and put them in the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: dugout as long as they can just follow the script.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. All right now, turning the pace, we go
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: to the NFL. Why why not? And we're gonna start
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: in Philadelphia. The e A gee l e egles.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: They're left tackle. Jordan Blata not happy. He's had enough
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of the evil media. He's upset. You see this, He's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: upset with the media narrative that his team won the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs this past weekend because
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: of Tushy.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: During a Philly radio interview. I'm sure that was riveting
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Jordan Mylotta rather than me, say let's go to the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: audio tip. Here's the Eagles left tackle commenting on his
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: distaste for the media stories regarding the outcome of that
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Eagle Chiefs game.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: I understand the outrage.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: What I don't understand is nam using it as an
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: excuse to why we won the game. I think it's
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: incredibly disrespectful to our defense and our special teams who
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: bowled out my brothers on defense, the special teams who
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: out that game, who had outbacks when we went moving
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: the ball or we went doing anything. That pisses me
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: off because we give so much to this game and
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: to kind of base of a short yattage play that
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: is a football play, and say that we won the
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: game off that, but not not how a defense played,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: not how our special teams have played, putting us in
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: those positions. You know, I think it's I think it's
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: bull crap. I just think it's rubbish. That's absolutely rubbish.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: It makes me makes my blood boil just thinking about it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: All right, So question, what is the most puzzling thing
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: about the Eagles left tackle.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: There Jordan Malata.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Grumbling, grumble, grumble, grumble about the media's obsession with the Tuschwitz.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: By the way, that's either a accent from from from
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Georgia or from Australia, one of those two. Anyway.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: No, he's from Australia, so this is a rather bizarre
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: mountain to die on. Like, and by the way, he's
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: from Australia, does he really know American football? I mean,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: let's be honest here, come on, I mean, it's a
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: rugby play. It's a rugby It's like Ozzie rules football.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: So here's I don't want to understand why these guys
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: don't embrace it. I've said this, like their coach is
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: like a schmuck. Everyone hates who's not an Eagle fan,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni. So why not just embrace the dark side?
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Be Darth Vader, be Palpatine, be the become the meme,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: let the hate flow through you all that.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Instead, you've got Jordan Mylotta out there.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Who's on on the radios you heard, and he's pouting
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: like somebody left him out of the group chat, like
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: he's upset by that many around the NFL are starting
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to reevaluate the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Right, And this is what Jordan Mylotta doesn't like and
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: the Eagles don't like. And I get it. I wouldn't
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: like it either if I was the Eagles.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: But people are revisiting the Eagles here in this success
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and they're like, well, wait a minute. You know, this
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: is about as authentic as the Grammy that Millie Vanilli
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: won back in the day.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: If you don't know who that is, look it up.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: It's a they did lip syncing, very popular years ago,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and they did lip syncing. They never sang the song curl.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You know it's true, you know it's true. Is it
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: wrong to say that the Eagles are the Milli Vanilli
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty five NFL?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Right now?
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: They're one trick. Their lip syncing is what they're doing,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and they're really lipsticking their way through the NFL with
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that one play. So if I ask you what is
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: great about the Philadelphia Eagles, what is top of the line,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: A number one pedigree?
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: What is it? What are you gonna tell me? Well,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: they have a good defense.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's not the eighty five Chicago Bears defense. It's okay,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: it's fine. Let's peel this thing back, all right, so
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: we peel it back. Jalen Hurts is he an elite quarterback? Well,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you expect a quarterback to throw for
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: less than one hundred yards in some games, less than
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards, Okay, that's elite for me.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: That's not a lead. I know you're just being a critic.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts not elite. Sekwan Barkley is elite. That's terrific,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: But he's a running back. Doesn't make it tingle in
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: modern football. It doesn't on defense and special teams fights.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: But nobody's posting on social media about the Eagles defense
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and special teams.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: The only thing, the only.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Thing that is head and shoulders above the rest of
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the NFL is the tush push. That's it, end of it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: That's that's all. They're it, and that's it. That's the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: entire act of the Philadelphia Eagles. That's it, and that's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: why people talk about this and Jordan Mailatta doesn't like it,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and the Eagles get all testy about this because it's
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: it's for them. It's like the Staples easy button running
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: that play first and nine every time it's not first
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and ten, because if it's if it's fourth and one,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: they automatically get the first down. They convert ninety six
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: point six percent of the time, ninety six point six
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: percent of the time. That's how they operate. That's their
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: secret ingredient right there. And so instead of just laughing
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: it off and say oh, you know whatever, no, it
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: makes you look soft the reaction the Eagles have had
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: to this, And if you're really, really good, you don't
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: care what people are saying, because you're so dominant, you
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: don't really care. However, the fact that factions of the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: philadel Fi Eagles they're.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: So bothered by this proves one thing that we have
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: nailed it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: That Again, I don't think you should be banned the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: toush push.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: However, it's going.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: To end up being banned now, like at this point,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: we do the show right now and in this moment,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: if you ask me, will this thing be banned?
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I say yes.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: But again, my advice here, unsolicited advice of the Eagles,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: rather than whine and complain about it and have a
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: conniption fit, is just embrace the tush push. Embrace the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: hate because the second that play gets banished by the NFL,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the philadel Fi Eagles become a nine to eight type
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: team there and eight and nine just the middle of
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the pack NFC team. They're nothing special.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: With that play. They are special without that play. Eh,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: you know you don't really care about it? All right?
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Now, last word, we go to Minnesota, the quarterback shake
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: up continues and the Vikings filling out their quarterback room
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: with Desmond.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Ridder as the backup.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Now, I normally would not would not partake in this
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: because I really care about Desmond Ridder, but the coverage
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: on this got my attention. So that's what I wanted
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to talk with you about. So the question on this one,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: where are you at? On the NFL network reporting glowingly
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: that the Vikings have added Desmond Ridder as a proven,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: experienced starter. All right, So this is the old case
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: of if you go and pick up a big heifer
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: at the farm there, big giant, fat pig, and you
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: put lipstick on it, it's still a pig. And so
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Desmond Ridder, we all agree, we've decided he stinks, and
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: he's got eighteen starts with the Falcons and the Raiders
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: and sixteen touchdowns, fourteen interceptions. That's not experienced. That is evidence,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: is what it is. It's evidence to show that he's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: not good. Call a spade a spade. We believe in that,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and so stop treating the people that consume your product
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: like idiots. The state sponsored NFL media, the prop the
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: news service of the NFL. People can google things. There's chat,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: GPT and other AI platforms now these days, so you
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: can look up the numbers, you can dig.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Around the numbers and all that.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: And if you look, Desmond Ridder is a dog with fleas,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: How would you like to be Kevin O'Connell, Kevin O'Connell.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: It was all a quarterback whisper Kevin O'Connell. The man's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: got Carson Wentz on one side of the quarterback room
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: and Desmond Ritter on the other side.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: This like raiding the mini bar.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: You're really really hungry, You go to your hotel, you
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: raid the mini bar after your flight got canceled, you
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: haven't eaten, the restaurants are closed. You end up getting
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: a little tin bottle of vodka and you have like
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: five M and ms that you pay thirty five dollars
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: for and then you immediately have therapy on speed dial.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Is it's depressing Carson Wentz and Desmond Ridder the dynamic
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: fire duo, as in dumpster fire, not good fire, dumpster
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: fire here. And so that's the quarterback room. It smells.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: It smells like a wet dog, is what it smells like.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: My God rolled in garbage. And there's the NFL.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Network, those bastions of truth who are reporting, Oh no, up,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: it's like that. They love. They must love polishing turds
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: over there, they must love it. It's like Desmond Ridder
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: is the Hope Diamond. No, it's a turd, and that's
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: what it is. But he's an experienced starter. What are
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: you talking about?
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I'd like the quote Nick Saban who famously said back
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: at Alabama when was asked about experience and returning starters
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and all that, he pointed out that just because you
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: have experience does not mean you're good.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: It does not mean that you're good. And so it's
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: gas lighting People's what it is. And I think are they.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Think we're all a bunch of rubes, And you can
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: maybe speak for yourself. I don't believe I'm a rube.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I don't, and you do not need some kind of
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: telescope to realize the desmer Ritder stinks.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: You just don't.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You don't need that, and even Stevie Metpauls who's blind,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: can see he can see that.

• 22:06
  Speaker 1: conversation in a few minutes. Get a bunch of people
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: on holding on a rant and complain as Otani the
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Dodger game he was taken out, had a no hitter,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: and Dave Roberts announced after the game they had already
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: been decided before the game that Otani was coming out
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: after five minutes, sixty eight pitches. That's your modern Dodger
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: baseball right there. That's your Dodgers right there. Gutless, absolutely gutless.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Buy the book. Follow the numbers. Pathetic, all right, But
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: our lead this hour from the NFL, we go to Miami.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Speaking of pathetic, the Miami Dolphins continue to be floundering,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: but they're good for business, so we're happy about that.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins continue to fill up the content machine here
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio. They play an island game, the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Island Life on Thursday night in Orchard Park, just outside Buffalo.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: There that the lead up to the in the lead
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: up us in the lead up to the game, there
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: was a there was some conversation here that caught my attention,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and a quote by the quarterback who provides entertainment not
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: much for the fans in South Florida, went viral. So
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: if you didn't see this, perhaps not. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tongue.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Of Eyloa was waxing loquacious about Josh Allen, who he's
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: going against his divisional opponent there in a Buffalo Bill's uniform,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: and let's just say he went a little over the top.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the audio tape. Here's Tua.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: Dude.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: He's top tier.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: You know, if it's not with his arm, it's with
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: his legs. You know that dude can do literally anything
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: he wants. So definitely different skill set for me, I
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: can't do half of what he does when it comes
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: to running the ball and any of that. And then
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: with how he can just chuck the ball down the field,
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: you know, with how far and the arm strength that
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: he has, you know, he's supreme when it comes to that.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: All right, so we laiter it on fixed.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss that has gone viral, the question
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: how do you assess tua tongue of Eyloa the Dolphins
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: quarter saying he can't do half of what Josh Allen does.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: So I've got taxi cab, doctor Drew, and moon boots
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: we're gonna make your Babushka's favorite snack mix. And it's
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the proper amount of nuts and pretzels and mix them
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: all together and it's just perfect. So number I said
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: number one, this might be the number of games the
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Dolphins will win. My first thought is this must have
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: been a lou Holtz thing. When I saw this quote
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and then I heard the audio, my initial thought was,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: this is the old Golden Domers coach from back in
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the day. It was on television for a long time,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and this was what he used to do, and many
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: coaches did this for a long time.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: It's a term called poor mouthing. I didn't make that up.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Poor mouthing, and that is where you poor mouth the opponent.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: You embellish, you go over the top, so when you
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: beat them, you look like a Goliath slayer. You butter
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: up the opponent is what you're supposed to do. However,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: with Tua, I didn't get that vibe.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: I did not like.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: To me, this is genuine, that he's such a sweetheart
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to a tongue about loa that.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: He actually like believes I believe he means it. Like like,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: I think that's legit.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Like it like Tua's basically starring in an HBO remake
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: of Taxi Cab Confessions NFL quarterback variety, pouring out his
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: heart and soul. Pouring out his heart and soul. Now, listen,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: self awareness is cute. We like self awareness. But let's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: not kid ourselves here that Tua is telling the world
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: that he is a knockoff brand, that he is a
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: generic brand quarterback.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: He is the iPhone.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess Josh Allen would be the iPhone in
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: this one, and then Tua would be like he'd be
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: like the Android, but not a good Android, like the
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: kind that overheats when it gets into the it gets
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: too many things going like Netflix or some like that
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: on the phone. But let's put the finances to the
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: love test.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: What do you think here? The love test?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: So Tua has a one hundred and sixty seven million guarantee,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: and then you've got Josh Allen who's at two hundred
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: and fifty million.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: So if I.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Believe the math on that, it's about Josh Allen compared
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: to Tua, Tua makes about thirty three percent less in
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: terms of guaranteed money as opposed to Josh Allen. So
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like comparing a waterfront mansion in Buffalo
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: to a condo on the twenty second floor in Miami
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: in South Beach. Like Miami Beach, that area, the square
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: footage is not even close, right, the square footage is
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: not that close. Now, toua admitting that he can't keep up.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: That's essentially what I took away, And I was like, listen,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not as good as this guy. This guy's much
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: better than me. Now, it's refreshing honesty. It is refreshingly
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: honest that Tua said this It also undermines a problem
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: that Tua's un minding the Dolphins is what he's doing
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: here because he's he's the guy. They knew that he
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: was wobbly, they gave him the contract, and so Miami
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: is rolling into what is supposed to be a heavyweight fight.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: They're big underdogs on the game Thursday night, So the
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Dolphins go into that and the Bills are a heavy
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: favorite in that game, and the quarterback matchup between Tua
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and Josh Allen, Tua just admitted, not listen, I'm not
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: in the same class.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: Not.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: That's not exactly a raw Rah speech where you're like,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go shock the world. That's another episode of
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins twenty twenty five season, which at this
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: point is like a sitcom. It's like a sitcom here
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: at this point for the Dolphins. You q the laugh track.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Miami is zero to two. Their defense, I believe is
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: ranked thirty first in points allowed. They would be thirty second,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: but the Bears played the Lions.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: They're perfect and they were terrible.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: So now their quarterback, to a tongue of bila Is
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: is basically writing fan mail to the guy that he's
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: supposed to be competing with in the division. And it's
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: for get hard knocks. This is like everybody loves tour.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: This is and everyone loves to a thing every week.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: It's a new script. You've got the half baked coach
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: in the space cadet coach there, Mike McDaniel, who's on
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the sidelines. All right, now to green Bay, speaking of wacky,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: we go to green Bay here where Packers wide receiver
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Jaden Reid decided or someone around him decided to go
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: live on Instagram immediately after a collarbone surgery and the
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: anesthesia was still doing laps in his bloodstream as he
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: went on the Instagram live.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Now, how do we know this? How could you not
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: be see it? You know, he's a little batty there,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: he said. The green Bay Packers wide receivers said, quote
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: and this among other things, the.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Packers to the ball brawl. We turned, we going all
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: the effing way, he said. All right, so let us
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: discuss the question on this one. What is your big
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: takeaway from Green Bay's Jaden Reid going live on social
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: media from a hospital bed moments after surgery. All right,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: so this is classic addiction? Is it not addiction? Everyone's
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: addicted to their phones. I'm addicted to my phone, I admitted,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: but you none of us can put it down. But
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I at least I dreamed that. I'm not on like
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the social media stuff much during the day, as I've said,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: because you all are a holes, so.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: I stay away from that.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: But Jaden Reid literally was out of surgery. He's I
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: can't emphasize this enough. He's in the hospital bed, he's
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: wearing the hospital gowned, and he's out of surgery. And
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: his first instinct is is not, hey, maybe I'll sleep
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: this off, let me rest up a little bit. It's
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: let's go live on Instagram.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: This is what it is now. To be fair, there
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: was some woman I don't know if that was his
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: mom or his girlfriend or his sister. I don't know who.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: This mystery woman was in there, and she was encouraging
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: him on what to say on the Instagram feet. So
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: the whole thing was rather pathetic. We've reached the point
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: now where so many of us, but especially like the
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: players in the NFL, they're not just players really, everyone is.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Everything has to be live. You have to do it live.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: It's all content, and you have to broadcast every second
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: of your life. It is an absolute disease. It reminds
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: me of when Lebron passed Kareem Abdul Jabbar to become
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the all time leading scorer in NBA history. There was
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: this iconic shot behind the basket and there were twelve
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: thousand people behind the basket, all of them doing the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Statue of Liberty, holding up their phone trying to get
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: a photo of it, not watching what was right in
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: front of them because they wanted to get some clicks
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: and all that. And then you had like Phil Knight
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: of Nike who was actually standing up and watching and.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: The whole thing. It was very bizarre.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: But it is addition like bring in doctor Drew, the
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: addiction therapist and all that stuff. And you know you're
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: half conscious if you're the Green Bay player, you're high
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: on anesthesia and the phone is still right there in
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: your face, and it's not enough to just have surgery
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and try to recover and come back and play football
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: on that. Now you got to perform for strangers, not
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: your family. You know, I can understand going on the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: phone and say I'm fine, I survived the operation. You know,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't die on the operating tab. But no, you
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: gotta to total strangers. You got to go out there.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Here's what I'm doing. You know, the phone has become
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: like an IV grip, if you will, we don't need painkillers.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Forget about the painkillers, right. The real drug is that
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: social media attention. That phone might as well have been
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: a needle in the arm, like the same buzz, same hit,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: same you know, feel good situation.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Social media is the drug. It's like crack. And you know,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: take the phone away. You can't take the phone. Do
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: not take the phone away. You're gonna cut off my
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: oxygen supply. What is wrong with you. I'm gonna start twitching.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: It's wrong with you. So couldn't wait, could not.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Wait to go live because again the guys addicted screen
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Bay packers, receiver gotta get all those hearts. You don't
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: get the hearts if you don't go live. You gotta
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: go live to get the hearts. And so you override
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: common sense. You say bye bye to common sense because
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: the clout matters more. That's more important, all right, now,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: final point to Los Angeles we go. That is where
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Rams coach Sean McVay ended up on the injury report.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: McVeigh tore his planter fasci is fascy itis. Easier for
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: me to say it's a foot injury. It happened on
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the sideline during the Rams game in Nashville. Now, McVeigh
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: popped up on the Sean A Coach McVeigh Show, which
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: is produced in house by the Ram Spin doctors. I'm
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: sure that's I'm sure that's riveting. So McVeigh was asked,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I guess he brought this up on his own ash.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: But here's a McVeigh commenting. We'll go to the audio tip.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Here's McVeigh on injuring his foot during the Ram Titan game.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: Foot's good.
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: You know I did tear my planner fascist So noh's
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: I think? Because now I guess it allows you to
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: heal a little bit faster. But you know I was
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: being dramatic limping around towards the end of the game.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: But you know the MRI confirmed I did that. But
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: good news is I'm not playing, so I'm just on
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: the sidelines watching. So if I have a little cool
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: limp to add some swag, then you'll know why.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, he's got the cool limp, little swag there.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: So what stands out about Sean McVeigh injuring a foot
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: while coaching the Rams. Now, to my knowledge, he didn't
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: get hit by a Titan defender or a Ram player
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: on the sidelines. So the injury in station taking down coaches,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: now taking that even clapping on the sidelines is risky business.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: In the NFL in twenty twenty five. Make it stop, somebody,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: make it's up.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: So Sean McVay, a top three coach in the entire NFL,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay obviously needs bigger shoes. I did a little
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: research on this, so they say that if you have
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: this type of injury, it means your shoes are too
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: small and you need to go down to foot locker
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: and you need to size up and stop wearing kid
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: shoes essentially, So as I understand it, yeah, maybe I'm wrong,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: but as I understand it, it's the body telling you, like, hey,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: you're cramming your foot into some kind of trendy sneaker.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: It doesn't fit properly. And instead of just worrying about
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: you know, who cares about what you're wearing, just go
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: out there and coach.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: It doesn't really matter.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Be more like big Red. To me, that's the lesson
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: be more like Big Red. Look at Andy Reid. You
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: watch Andy Reid on the sidelines. He's disheveled. He might
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: as well be wearing orthopedic moon boots while he's walking
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: around in his moo moo eating chicken fingers. There is
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: zero chance that Andy Reid will tear anything but possibly
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: a napkin. And he'll certainly tear open that honey mustard
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: sauce packet. That's it, but not a body part. So
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: any Reid in Kansas City right now, somewhere having a
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: late night snack and he's chomping down probably not a cheeseburger,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: late night cheeseburger, laughing his ass off.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: This guy's tearing tissue.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: McVeigh on the sidelines, and here here's Andy Reid sitting down,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: he's got his laminated play sheet and he's just enjoying
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: his cheeseburger. Now that said, you cannot deny the theater
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: of all of this. That McVeigh left it all on
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: the field. My coach will get hurt coaching all the
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: way right there, the bottom of your foot right there,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: messed up. Of course, it is not the end of
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: the world. The injury is supposed to take four to
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: six weeks to heal. So some pharmacy, greade, ibuprofen, or
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: just rub some dirt on it. I believe he'll be okay.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: The Rams are in Philadelphia to take on the Eagles
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: coming up this weekend, one of the bigger games of
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the weekend.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: All right, here we go, here we go, here we go. Mallar,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: how about.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: That to the third degree, this is one big Ben
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: gets grilled.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Well, speaking of the guy, it's almost like that was
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: made to be.
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, Daniel Jones has a big reason that he
• 36:38
  Speaker 9: has shined in his first two stars with the Colts
• 36:39
  Speaker 9: has been the coaching staff and his teammates. Ben was
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: Jones just being held back on the Giants.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: No, and there will be a major regression to the
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: meme with Daniel Jones. This will last a few more
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: weeks or whatever. I'm not buying that.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: This is legit coop and it's easy to say, well,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I was being held back. The sole every coach the
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Giants hired was to make Daniel Jones good. Every draft
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: pick was to make Daniel Jones good, and the common
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: denominator was Daniel Jones sucked with all those guys, all right.
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: Next, Sean Payton took the blame on Monday for the
• 37:14
  Speaker 9: penalty that cost the Denver Broncs the game against Indianapolis.
• 37:17
  Speaker 9: He said the play was meant to block a game
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: winning field goal attempt, but he should have changed it
• 37:21
  Speaker 9: due to the length of the kick. Ben, do you
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: think he's just trying to protect his coordinator.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: That's by the book. You always, you never, you always
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: as the coach have to be the top of the pyramid.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: You have to take the blame for everything, even though
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: on this one it's not I think Sean Payton's involved
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: that in the minutia of the special teams, I don't
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: believe that at all.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: And it was really a chicken ass way to lose.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: A game, and so the whole You always say that
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: even when a player, like in baseball will drop a
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: fly ball, Oh it's a team wall, No, it's that
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: guy's an idiot.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: But the coach, that was my fault. I shouldn't have
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: had him in the outfre all right.
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: Next, the new Colts owner Carly Ers Gordon.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's quite the lady. Have you seen this woman?
• 37:59
  Speaker 9: I have.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: She's the case.
• 38:00
  Speaker 9: She's made waves online as she was shown on the
• 38:03
  Speaker 9: sidelines wearing headphones taking notes during the game. Then do
• 38:07
  Speaker 9: you like an owner that cares this much or do
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: you see it as micromanaging?
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't want to work for an owner like that,
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: But if I own an NFL team, I would be
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: just like her. I would be on the field, standing
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: right next to the coach. I'd be like Jerry Jones.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: And I don't know why you would want to own
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: a team not to act like that, So I don't
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: have a I think it's pretty funny. How do we
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: do you pass this? That's the word put on the phone.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: I want the guy, Poppy, I want the game Poppy.

• 39:50
  Speaker 1: sixty nine, Doug wrote in Now he did not use
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: the hashtag. I just happened to see this message. Normally
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: I would ignore this message, but I just happened to
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: see this message. You bad job by you, Doug. He's
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: question for the queen. Why can't the wife and I
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: ever agree on what's for dinner?
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Always what do you want? And after I rattle off

  Speaker 3: So why ask Well, you know, just to keep great.

  Speaker 3: That's a great question. That's a great question, Doug.
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 40:19
  Speaker 10: And actually I know a lot of couples and I
• 40:21
  Speaker 10: know this seems like a lot, but they'll cook two
• 40:23
  Speaker 10: separate meals. So I know people who have vegetarian wives
• 40:27
  Speaker 10: or husbands, and so they actually have to cook two
• 40:29
  Speaker 10: different things.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: But how about a set menu.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: How about you sit down at the beginning of the
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: week or the end of the week and so here's
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: we're gonna eat next week for dinner. Boom done, argue
• 40:39

  Speaker 10: And we talked about communication. That sounds a great like
• 40:49
  Speaker 10: a great way to communicate. Honey, what are we having
• 40:51
  Speaker 10: this week?
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: That's great?

  Speaker 3: I love that. Okay, there we've solved a problem. We've
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: solved the problem. All right, let's see Ferg dog rights
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: and says Lorena.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Would you would you dump a guy if he got
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: scared on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland?
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: My ex girlfriend did with me. I mean, if he
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: was actually scared.
• 41:11
  Speaker 10: Maybe it was cute, like, oh my gosh, I need
• 41:13
  Speaker 10: to hide in my face, in your bosom because I'm
• 41:15
  Speaker 10: so scared.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Well, I think a lot of guys need to do that.
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: But be romantic.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you know who knows well first, got stuff
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: going on, you know, Firg's got that's the beauty of it.
• 41:27
  Speaker 10: Be careful on the Haunted Mansion, though, because they have
• 41:29
  Speaker 10: cameras that look directly at you, so everything that you
• 41:31
  Speaker 10: do they are seeing.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: That's true. That is true because people have been making
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: whoopye on them, and they'll.
• 41:36
  Speaker 10: Make whoopye, they'll smoke, they'll do all sorts of things on.
