- 0:16Speaker 1: playoff field announced? And what did you think of Notre
- 0:20Speaker 1: Dame having a hissy fit turning down a bowl game
- 0:23Speaker 1: because they were not included? They were the first team
- 0:25Speaker 1: out of the college football playoff as they got bumped. Also,
- 0:30Speaker 1: can you explain why the Pittsburgh Pirates are bidding on
- 0:33Speaker 1: Phillies free agent slugger Kyle Schwarber? Yeah, that Kyle Schwarber
- 0:37Speaker 1: who had a gazillion home runs last year? Is there
- 0:40Speaker 1: more than meets the eye? And should Titans and Saints
- 0:44Speaker 1: fans be upset that they won and missed out on
- 0:48Speaker 1: the top pick status for now? Anyway, the Giants would
- 0:50Speaker 1: have the top pick in the NFL draft. The Tennessee
- 0:54Speaker 1: and New Orleans fans are complaining about that. We will

- 2:53Speaker 1: we begin anew this hour as we yap at the
- 2:56Speaker 1: yapp all night long here from the other the Maine studio,
- 3:01Speaker 1: and our lead is from not the NFL, this hour,
- 3:05Speaker 1: from college football. That's right, college football. Why college football?
- 3:10Speaker 1: We go where the news of the day takes us.
- 3:12Speaker 1: And the Dallas Cowboys of college football are having a
- 3:17Speaker 1: bad day. They're having a bad day. And you just
- 3:22Speaker 1: assumed the position that if it was closed, Notre Dame
- 3:25Speaker 1: was going to get in there, the cash cow of
- 3:28Speaker 1: college football, of course, talking about the college football Playoff,
- 3:32Speaker 1: and the news came out on Sunday that was not
- 3:34Speaker 1: the case. And the athletic director Pete Bavaqua Bavoqua, he
- 3:38Speaker 1: couldn't wanter me found a boat. Pete Bavaqua says that
- 3:42Speaker 1: the football program is an utter disbelief shock after being
- 3:49Speaker 1: left out of the college football Playoff. If you didn't
- 3:52Speaker 1: see this quite the story here, very emotional, very emotional.
- 3:56Speaker 1: The reaction as a result the fighting iverage. Are they
- 3:59Speaker 1: going to be adults, grown ups and go play a
- 4:02Speaker 1: ball game and say, all right, we're gonna win this
- 4:03Speaker 1: game by eighty points and shove it down the throat
- 4:06Speaker 1: of the college football playoff committee? Or are they gonna
- 4:10Speaker 1: quit let's see. Oh, yeah, that's what they're doing there.
- 4:13Speaker 1: We're not playing a ballgame. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
- 4:16Speaker 1: We're not playing. Yeah, they're not gonna participate in the ballgame.
- 4:20Speaker 1: I was so good. God, they look like such idiots. Oh,
- 4:23Speaker 1: I love it. There's embarrassing themselves. No, no, Dame football.
- 4:27Speaker 1: What a joke, What a freaking joke. It's so good.
- 4:32Speaker 1: The Irish had been ranked in the top ten in
- 4:36Speaker 1: every one of these Fugasey College Football Playoff rankings until Sunday,
- 4:42Speaker 1: and then they were placed at number eleven. They were
- 4:45Speaker 1: the first team out Miami, which beat Notre Dame back
- 4:49Speaker 1: in week one. They moved ahead of the Irish in
- 4:52Speaker 1: the final ranking to take the last at large berth
- 4:56Speaker 1: So Notre Dame the bubble popped the Fighting Irish. They're out,
- 5:02Speaker 1: and by not making it this year, Notre Dame lost
- 5:04Speaker 1: out on a four million dollar pay day, which I
- 5:07Speaker 1: think is that that's like tip money. That's what they
- 5:09Speaker 1: pay the pool boy, four million dollars. They lose that money.
- 5:15Speaker 1: So anyway, that's a good jumping off point. Let us
- 5:17Speaker 1: discuss the question, what did you think of the Notre
- 5:21Speaker 1: Dame football program having a hissy fit and turning down
- 5:28Speaker 1: a bowl game because we're not going to the playoffs.
- 5:32Speaker 1: We're not gonna play your little bulgain all right, So
- 5:35Speaker 1: I've got shopping cart, Jimmy Johns, and ring toss, and
- 5:40Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
- 5:45Speaker 1: are gonna have a frosty good time. So number why
- 5:55Speaker 1: I got that Notre Dame. I love this story so
- 5:59Speaker 1: much that note ended up throwing a toddler like meltdown
- 6:06Speaker 1: on Aisle seven because they didn't get the toy they
- 6:09Speaker 1: wanted so good, oh so great college football playoff committee
- 6:15Speaker 1: did not give them the shiny brand nude toy that
- 6:20Speaker 1: they were really hoping to get, and so they just
- 6:22Speaker 1: decided they were gonna lay down and start crying and
- 6:25Speaker 1: embarrass their mom and their dad right in the middle
- 6:27Speaker 1: of Aisle seven, right at the toy store. And this
- 6:31Speaker 1: this wasn't disappointment. This was a hissy fit wrapped in
- 6:34Speaker 1: gold trim, dipped in entitlement and sprinkled with bougie Irish
- 6:41Speaker 1: fairy dust, is what this was. You've got Marcus Freeman,
- 6:45Speaker 1: the coach at Notre Dame, who didn't just open the
- 6:48Speaker 1: door to this modern brain rod. He rolled out the
- 6:52Speaker 1: red carpet and fully embraced it. In fact, he's literally
- 6:55Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman, the fighting ours coach, is cuddling with the
- 6:57Speaker 1: brain rod. It's extra a soft sharman. That's the culture
- 7:03Speaker 1: at its peak, at its peak, and what Notre Dame
- 7:06Speaker 1: is doing here but saying we're not going to the
- 7:08Speaker 1: code bluh blub, We're not gonna play it all. This
- 7:11Speaker 1: is a kin to like the NBA players are running
- 7:13Speaker 1: the All Star Game because they don't give a crap,
- 7:15Speaker 1: or the NFL Pro Bowl, which doesn't even get played
- 7:17Speaker 1: anymore because the NFL players don't give a crap. So
- 7:20Speaker 1: I guess Notre Dame, based on what I was reading,
- 7:22Speaker 1: if I have it right as I understand it, they
- 7:24Speaker 1: were gonna go to the pop Tard Bowl, and I
- 7:26Speaker 1: guess that doesn't mean anything. So why bother showing up.
- 7:29Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I was raised on
- 7:30Speaker 1: pop tarts. I would love to go to the pop
- 7:33Speaker 1: Tart Bowl.
- 7:33Speaker 2: I would.
- 7:34Speaker 1: I would be so happy to get as many pop
- 7:37Speaker 1: tarts as I could put, all the different flavors. Are
- 7:39Speaker 1: you kidding me? I would rather go to the pop
- 7:41Speaker 1: Tart Bowl than some of these other for gaisy bowls
- 7:43Speaker 1: that Notre Dame would have played it. But here's the problem.
- 7:47Speaker 1: I mean, this is I know it's a me problem
- 7:48Speaker 1: not and you'll probably support this because you're like, oh,
- 7:51Speaker 1: you're such a boomer expecting people to show up and
- 7:53Speaker 1: do their job. What's wrong with you?
- 7:54Speaker 3: Mallor?
- 7:56Speaker 1: But my point is this, right, it's the modern zeitgeist
- 7:59Speaker 1: of the time, right, boom, there it is, right, And
- 8:01Speaker 1: the Irish they lost head to head to Miami. It
- 8:05Speaker 1: was week one they played headhead. In my life, that's
- 8:10Speaker 1: always the typebreaker, that's always the first typebreaker. All things
- 8:14Speaker 1: are even the first tiebreaker, going back to medieval times.
- 8:19Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that old restaurant that used to
- 8:20Speaker 1: be right, I don't even know they're still around, But
- 8:22Speaker 1: that's how long that goes. And everyone's acting like someone
- 8:26Speaker 1: stole Grandma's silverware because Notre Dame did not get it. No,
- 8:30Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna get in because they're Notre Dame.
- 8:33Speaker 1: They've got the brand, they're big money for college football,
- 8:35Speaker 1: they're national team. I mean, it's like, if you're a Catholic,
- 8:40Speaker 1: you gotta like Notre Dame. If not, people look down
- 8:42Speaker 1: upon you. Right, and yet they didn't get in. But
- 8:46Speaker 1: I go the tiebreaker thing. I have no issue with it.
- 8:49Speaker 1: They played head to head, so it was week one.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Well that counts, it counts. And this athletic, therector, Pete Pavaqua,
- 8:56Speaker 1: is he's no relation to the baseball guy. Right, there's
- 8:59Speaker 1: no way I would doubt it. But anyway, Pepavaqua talking
- 9:03Speaker 1: about being punched in the stomach from all this and police,
- 9:08Speaker 1: come on, now, come on, that's not a gut punch. Okay,
- 9:11Speaker 1: it's not. That's a self inflicted meltdown is what that is.
- 9:15Speaker 1: And you know how real programs handle adversity. It's a
- 9:19Speaker 1: teachable moment, right, you act like an adult. You go
- 9:21Speaker 1: out there and play and you live your life and
- 9:24Speaker 1: you say, screw that, this is our last chance to
- 9:27Speaker 1: play together as a unit. We're gonna go out there
- 9:29Speaker 1: and have a great time, and that's that, and instead
- 9:31Speaker 1: Notre Dames like, ah naw, we're gonna curl up and
- 9:34Speaker 1: we're gonna be like a shopping cart. We're gonna be
- 9:37Speaker 1: like a shopping cart with a wobbly wheel, shaking and
- 9:40Speaker 1: squeaking and veering off course the moment you need it
- 9:43Speaker 1: to go straight, the moment you needed to go straight,
- 9:46Speaker 1: and skipping the bowl. You're not making some kind of
- 9:49Speaker 1: bold statement. You're not. You're announcing the world you're weak.
- 9:53Speaker 1: You're announcing the world you surrender because you're a bunch
- 9:56Speaker 1: of cowards. That's Notre Dame football, that's the fighting Irish.
- 10:00Speaker 1: You planted the surrender flag and you claimed its school pride,
- 10:05Speaker 1: My fat ass at school pride. Come on, it's so stupid.
- 10:09Speaker 1: And there are some that are, of course defending Notre Dame,
- 10:11Speaker 1: because no matter what Notre Dame does, there are people
- 10:14Speaker 1: that will defend them. But that was ridiculous. That was
- 10:16Speaker 1: absolutely redicuous. Right now, speaking ridiculous, we go to baseball.
- 10:19Speaker 1: I was gonna do a rant about Jeff can't getting
- 10:21Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame. I chose not to do
- 10:22Speaker 1: that because I saw this story. I thought well, this
- 10:24Speaker 1: is even more ridiculous. I never thought Jeff Kent was
- 10:26Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer when he was playing for the
- 10:27Speaker 1: Giants of the Dodgers. He was a Hall of Fame
- 10:29Speaker 1: a hole. How crazy is it, by the way, that
- 10:31Speaker 1: Kent's gonna get into the Hall of Fame and Barry
- 10:33Speaker 1: Bonds is not in the Hall of Fame. Dumb du dumb,
- 10:36Speaker 1: dumb dumb anyway, So the Pirates, a team that Barry
- 10:39Speaker 1: used to play for, the Pirates have not tried to
- 10:41Speaker 1: win pretty much my entire life. So the Pirates have
- 10:44Speaker 1: decided to make a run at a big time free agent.
- 10:49Speaker 1: You see this. The Pirates have made free agent designated
- 10:53Speaker 1: hitter Kyle Schwarber Swarbes a four year offer. According to
- 10:59Speaker 1: a report that went viral on Sunday night behind a
- 11:04Speaker 1: paywall at the Old Gray Lady The Athletic, the offer
- 11:07Speaker 1: is for more than one hundred million dollars for Kyle Schwarber,
- 11:12Speaker 1: who played for the Phillies last couple of years. Question, Hey,
- 11:15Speaker 1: you explain why the dumpster fire that is, the Pittsburgh
- 11:19Speaker 1: Pirates are bidding on Kyle Schwarber. All right, so this
- 11:24Speaker 1: one warms my cockles. I don't even know what to cockles,
- 11:28Speaker 1: but it warms my cockles.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Right.
- 11:29Speaker 1: The Pirates, who are the baseball equivalent of a broken
- 11:36Speaker 1: vending machine in the very back of a Greyhound station
- 11:39Speaker 1: in El Paso, Texas, suddenly out here tossing nine figures
- 11:45Speaker 1: out to Kyle Schwarber. Please, Right, this is like one
- 11:50Speaker 1: of those bedtime fairy tale type things, right, the little
- 11:53Speaker 1: small market team that could jube. Yeah, except it absolutely
- 11:58Speaker 1: can't and it won't. And every man, woman and child
- 12:02Speaker 1: knows this. It is classic Pirates cosplay is what it is,
- 12:06Speaker 1: all right. They're not eating at Jimmy Johns, but they're
- 12:09Speaker 1: sure enjoying the free smells. They like the smells. You
- 12:12Speaker 1: know what that smells like it they're sniffing around a
- 12:15Speaker 1: big ticket player and they're not actually gonna buy the player. Instead,
- 12:21Speaker 1: they're gonna make sure to let everyone know this is
- 12:23Speaker 1: the we tried offer. We really really tried. We really
- 12:27Speaker 1: wanted the player. We gave it the old college try. Right.
- 12:31Speaker 1: The Pirates are the guy at the bar who's buying
- 12:34Speaker 1: a drink for the hottest supermodel at the bar, right,
- 12:38Speaker 1: the most beautiful woman in the world at the bar,
- 12:40Speaker 1: and the Pirates are buying the drink for knowing full
- 12:43Speaker 1: well she's not leaving with them. She's leaving with the quarterback.
- 12:46Speaker 1: She's not leaving with them. It's performative generosity. And it's
- 12:49Speaker 1: like giving someone a coupon for ten percent off expired yogurt.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Wasn't that nice? Isn't it? Schwarber's agent and you know
- 12:56Speaker 1: they love this, right, and we try to play the
- 12:59Speaker 1: game who the story, Well, this is either the pirates
- 13:01Speaker 1: or Schwarber's agent or both, because it makes the Pirates
- 13:05Speaker 1: look good because they're trying to sign a free agent,
- 13:07Speaker 1: makes schwarburstehem like he's so in demand even these crap
- 13:10Speaker 1: bag teams are trying to get him. Now, whoever leaked
- 13:14Speaker 1: These baseball scribes carry the water for the agents, and
- 13:19Speaker 1: they've been doing this since dial up internet, since AOL.
- 13:22Speaker 1: And suddenly Schwarbur's price, you know, you figure it's going
- 13:25Speaker 1: to get higher and higher. Now, he's never going to
- 13:27Speaker 1: go to a team like Pittsburgh, but the fact that
- 13:29Speaker 1: he could, the fact that the Reds were mentioned last week,
- 13:33Speaker 1: you know, the teams that are usually not bidding on
- 13:36Speaker 1: these players, and so it shows you that's going to
- 13:40Speaker 1: cost more for the teams like the Red Sox and
- 13:43Speaker 1: the Phillies, the good teams that are supposedly in on
- 13:46Speaker 1: Schwarber and Pittsburgh knows they're not going to get him,
- 13:50Speaker 1: but they also know that they can flash this around
- 13:54Speaker 1: as pr Hey, look we're trying. Then we're willing to
- 13:59Speaker 1: spend money. Yeah, we're not your daddy's Pittsburgh Pirates. And
- 14:03Speaker 1: then I'm willing to buy, of course, a yacht. If
- 14:06Speaker 1: someone knocks a few zeros off, I will buy the yacht.
- 14:09Speaker 1: If it's I don't know, free, I'll buy it. I'll
- 14:12Speaker 1: give you a couple of bull give it two bucks
- 14:13Speaker 1: for it? How about that two bucks? They're really trying
- 14:17Speaker 1: to get above the payroll that One of the theories
- 14:20Speaker 1: is the Baseball's hell bent in the next labor negotiation
- 14:24Speaker 1: of having a salary cap floor. And now I'm against
- 14:28Speaker 1: both because I think it's just for gayz you. I've
- 14:31Speaker 1: been through that before. However, the theory is the Pirates
- 14:34Speaker 1: and some of these cheaper teams are going to try
- 14:35Speaker 1: to spend a little more money. That way, when they
- 14:37Speaker 1: go to the negotiating table, they can say, well, look,
- 14:40Speaker 1: the A's signed this guy, the Pirates signed that guy
- 14:43Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and the Marlins signed this guy, and so
- 14:45Speaker 1: they'll try it. They can make that argument the zero chance,
- 14:51Speaker 1: zero chance times a fake effort equals Pirates baseball, right,
- 14:55Speaker 1: the zero chance fake effort. That's the Pirates in a
- 14:58Speaker 1: nuts you all right, final point to the end, NFL
- 15:00Speaker 1: we go now the NFL Draft. We ain't here talking
- 15:05Speaker 1: about the draft. Not a game, not a game. We
- 15:07Speaker 1: ain here talking about draft. Well because of the results
- 15:09Speaker 1: on Sunday with the Tennessee Titans taking down the Cleveland
- 15:14Speaker 1: Browns and the New Orleans Saints up ending Tampa Bay,
- 15:18Speaker 1: both getting upset wins on your NFL weekend, that means
- 15:24Speaker 1: moving on up to a penhouse on the upper east side.
- 15:27Speaker 1: The New York Giants have moved up and they are
- 15:31Speaker 1: at the very top. The Giants are on the clock
- 15:34Speaker 1: and they are in position if they lose out to
- 15:37Speaker 1: have the number one and the pick in the draft,
- 15:40Speaker 1: and the Raiders right now would have the number two
- 15:43Speaker 1: pick in the draft. So the Raiders would be at
- 15:46Speaker 1: number two, which is just perfect for the Raiders. This
- 15:51Speaker 1: is a draft that does not feature an elite level quarterback.
- 15:53Speaker 1: In fact, there are no quarterbacks worthy of being drafted
- 15:56Speaker 1: number one overall, so that means the Raiders probably will
- 15:57Speaker 1: end up with a number one pick. However, the story
- 16:00Speaker 1: here is the crying. There's no crying. Oh yes there is.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Tennessee and New Orleans fans upset. Oh my god, why
- 16:09Speaker 1: did we win the game. Oh, you're messing up my
- 16:12Speaker 1: draft plans. You're messing up my late April plans. What
- 16:14Speaker 1: is wrong with you?
- 16:15Speaker 4: All?
- 16:16Speaker 5: Right?
- 16:16Speaker 1: Question? Should Titans and Saints fans be upset that they
- 16:21Speaker 1: won their team's won games over the weekend and are
- 16:25Speaker 1: now out of top pig status in the NFL draft?
- 16:29Speaker 1: So my response would be to stop it, to zip it,
- 16:33Speaker 1: give me a break. I want to puke in my
- 16:36Speaker 1: mouth when I see this kind of stuff. I want
- 16:37Speaker 1: to puke in my mouth. Enough. That is the junk
- 16:41Speaker 1: food thinking of a franchise addicted to scratcher tickets. Right,
- 16:47Speaker 1: the NFL draft is the biggest carnival hustle going around.
- 16:51Speaker 1: Don't fall forward. It's the guy on the boardwalk telling
- 16:55Speaker 1: you come on up. It's the ring toss, right, it's
- 16:58Speaker 1: easy for you. Just try it. Come on, come on,
- 17:01Speaker 1: do it again. You can do it. You can do it. Watch,
- 17:03Speaker 1: I'll do it. You can do it, and people line
- 17:05Speaker 1: up and their suckers every year. It's a total boon
- 17:08Speaker 1: doggle boone doggle. Living for draft position is a loser mentality.
- 17:15Speaker 1: You don't tank your way to success. You play to
- 17:19Speaker 1: win the game. Thank you very much, Herm Edwards. You
- 17:23Speaker 1: worry about the draft in March, not in week fourteen
- 17:27Speaker 1: of the regular season. Draft picks are a renewable resource.
- 17:31Speaker 1: They regenerate every spring. Like Crabgrass and Tennessee. I'll give
- 17:37Speaker 1: you example of how ridiculous is is. Tennessee had the
- 17:39Speaker 1: number one pick this past year. Right, they got cam
- 17:42Speaker 1: Ward out of Miami and Washington State, and he was
- 17:45Speaker 1: billed as a plug and play player, just right out
- 17:48Speaker 1: of the box. You put them out there and play them.
- 17:50Speaker 1: So they put him out there pretty much right out
- 17:52Speaker 1: of the box. How's that working out? Cam Ward is
- 17:55Speaker 1: the thirty seventh ranked quarterback. More like plug and prey
- 18:00Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Tiitans. How about the Giants? The Giants
- 18:03Speaker 1: last year they needed an edge rusher. They drafted Abduall
- 18:05Speaker 1: Carter out of Penn State at number three. And if
- 18:08Speaker 1: Abduall Carter was a cartoon character, he'd beat Garfield he
- 18:12Speaker 1: loves lasagna and taking naps during team meetings. He does
- 18:16Speaker 1: not like mondays either, And so I believe I go
- 18:19Speaker 1: with the less sneed mantra f them picks, f them picks.
- 18:25Speaker 1: And he wasn't wrong when he said that. You know
- 18:27Speaker 1: it's you obviously have picks every year, but you don't
- 18:31Speaker 1: worry about them in the middle of the NFL season.
- 18:33Speaker 1: My god, it's just I see these reactions like people
- 18:36Speaker 1: are losers.
- 18:37Speaker 6: You're all just going to lose forever. You're whining about
- 18:41Speaker 6: draft picks, and what's the point? Just why don't even
- 18:43Speaker 6: watch the game? Just wait until the draft? Just say
- 18:46Speaker 6: I'm a fan of football. I only watched the draft.
- 18:49Speaker 6: I only watched the trades in the offseason. I won't
- 18:51Speaker 6: watch the games and just build castles in the sky
- 18:54Speaker 6: and don't worry about watching the games and just hope
- 18:56Speaker 6: they lose every game.
- 18:57Speaker 1: But don't watch. And that's that. It is the Ben

- 22:11Speaker 1: go and the FSR fact check account writes in says,
- 22:14Speaker 1: as a fan of live reads on sports talk radio,
- 22:17Speaker 1: did your hero he used to send this to the fergdok?
- 22:21Speaker 1: Did your hero? Ben Mallard just mentioned momentum in sports
- 22:25Speaker 1: in a script given to him. The next thing you know,
- 22:28Speaker 1: he will be wishing happy birthday to Alf. It might
- 22:32Speaker 1: be time for a wellness check. Yes, well, I am
- 22:37Speaker 1: a train seal. I do not write the copy. I
- 22:40Speaker 1: add my favorite to the copy. I am. I have
- 22:44Speaker 1: a beach ball. I'm like back in the whole days
- 22:46Speaker 1: they used to have these animal parks, like a SeaWorld
- 22:49Speaker 1: place like that where they had animals performing. I'm the
- 22:51Speaker 1: seal and I can bounce the ball on my head.
- 22:55Speaker 1: I will literally, I'm like Ron Burgundy. I'll read anything
- 22:58Speaker 1: they put in front of me and so, and I
- 23:02Speaker 1: add my flavor to it. I dressed it up a
- 23:04Speaker 1: little bit. I put some spice on it. I let
- 23:05Speaker 1: it marinate for a little bit, and I'll add my
- 23:07Speaker 1: own touch to it. But it does say in the copy,
- 23:11Speaker 1: and I did not write the copy, but the people
- 23:13Speaker 1: the DraftKings. They wrote the copy and they put it
- 23:15Speaker 1: right there in the copy, they said momentum. So the
- 23:18Speaker 1: question should I change that in the copy? I think
- 23:21Speaker 1: I could. I could add to that, or I could
- 23:23Speaker 1: alternate the copy a little bit, add different words other
- 23:25Speaker 1: than momentum.
- 23:26Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.
- 23:27Speaker 1: I remember during the Kansas City game tonight when we
- 23:30Speaker 1: came back from the second for the second. Oh right,
- 23:33Speaker 1: Ico said momentum.
- 23:34Speaker 6: They said, oh, momentum, And I was like, you know what,
- 23:38Speaker 6: Mallar says, momentum does not exist.
- 23:42Speaker 1: What I'm thinking is Turko's working too much. He's doing
- 23:44Speaker 1: all these NBA games, so his his When you don't
- 23:46Speaker 1: know what to say, just toss out these cliches, these
- 23:49Speaker 1: empty platitudes, like momentum because you're lazy and you're not prepared.
- 23:53Speaker 1: And yeah, I heard Tarico. I actually jotted that down.
- 23:55Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up because I heard the
- 23:57Speaker 1: same thing. Turco mentioned it like three or four times, momentum,
- 24:02Speaker 1: which is his way. It's like a dog whistle. I'm
- 24:05Speaker 1: not prepared to do this broadcast. I'm out of content.
- 24:08Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go. It's like when John Smoltz in
- 24:10Speaker 1: a playoff game, keeps saying momentum because you have nothing
- 24:13Speaker 1: else to say. It's the same thing. Tom from Fullerton says, Ben,
- 24:17Speaker 1: this is just the beginning, I believe, and expanded college
- 24:20Speaker 1: football playoff will forever de incentivize the just missed the
- 24:24Speaker 1: cut teams to go bowling. What glory is it to
- 24:29Speaker 1: have had be crushing Montana State of the Cheese Its
- 24:32Speaker 1: Bowl when you just missed the college football playoff. Now
- 24:36Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, Tom, but again, and this
- 24:39Speaker 1: is again my my thing. It's my I blame my parents.
- 24:42Speaker 1: I blame the people that helped raise me that I
- 24:45Speaker 1: was raised a certain way where you know, you don't
- 24:48Speaker 1: get exactly what you want, you still got a job
- 24:50Speaker 1: to do, and you know, if your job's not perfect,
- 24:52Speaker 1: you still got to do the job because you said,
- 24:53Speaker 1: you do your job. And it's the old code of
- 24:55Speaker 1: the West thing which I've ranked it about, which I
- 24:58Speaker 1: should I guess I should stop rating about. I wanted
- 25:00Speaker 1: to talk about the code of the world. I don't understand.
- 25:03Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. Please, yeah, that whole thing. Listen,
- 25:08Speaker 1: I get it, you know, I understand it's not for
- 25:11Speaker 1: everybody and all that. It's just something I try to do,
- 25:15Speaker 1: and I don't do it all the time. You know,
- 25:18Speaker 1: it's the code that you follow. You know, you do
- 25:22Speaker 1: what has to be done, and it's not always a
- 25:25Speaker 1: beautiful thing, right, and you know, you take pride in
- 25:27Speaker 1: your work and you finish what you start. Like if
- 25:29Speaker 1: you're a college football team and you started the season,
- 25:32Speaker 1: you played the whole season, you get an extra game
- 25:34Speaker 1: and you do it. You do it has to be done,
- 25:37Speaker 1: and it's not always fair, but you do it. And
- 25:41Speaker 1: when you make a promise, you keep it. And we
- 25:44Speaker 1: don't live in those times anymore. We live in the
- 25:46Speaker 1: times where it's not fun and it doesn't mean anything.
- 25:50Speaker 1: We're not gonna play and that's just the way it is.
- 25:54Speaker 1: I don't know when that happened. I guess it might
- 25:57Speaker 1: be my generation that raised the kid now that are
- 26:01Speaker 1: doing this. I guess I blame them. It makes sense
- 26:04Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters here for raising kids that are
- 26:07Speaker 1: acting that way. My god, big rig Rob Wrightson says Ben,
- 26:10Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Kevin Stefanski is trying to get fired
- 26:13Speaker 1: on purpose. Nobody in their right mind takes a quarterback
- 26:17Speaker 1: out who has over three hundred and fifty passing yards
- 26:19Speaker 1: and three touchdowns and one rushing touchdown in the biggest
- 26:22Speaker 1: moment of the game. That guy wants out so bad
- 26:25Speaker 1: he resigned when he called that play. Well, we will
- 26:28Speaker 1: be talking about that big rig. Robin is on my
- 26:30Speaker 1: big board. We're gonna get to that coming up in
- 26:32Speaker 1: a little bit. We will have a complete breakdown on
- 26:35Speaker 1: that play. And you're not far off with your analysis.
- 26:38Speaker 1: You're not far off. If you'd like to comment at
- 26:40Speaker 1: Ben Mahler on X that's at Ben Mahler. Back to
- 26:44Speaker 1: the phones we go, and let's say hello to Danny
- 26:48Speaker 1: de Vito, America's favorite trash man. He is in Boston.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Let me guess he's gonna be complaining about Pete Carroll
- 26:54Speaker 1: kicking a field goal in the final seconds of the
- 26:57Speaker 1: game against the Broncs. Am I correct, Danny? You know,
- 27:00Speaker 1: are you gonna complain about that? No?
- 27:02Speaker 4: I actually dinna have any action that game. Okay, uh, yeah,
- 27:06Speaker 4: I didn't have any action. But that is a smooth
- 27:08Speaker 4: move by Carols.
- 27:09Speaker 1: You know, I thought it was great coaching. It is
- 27:12Speaker 1: the first really good coaching move Carrol's made with the Raiders.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Because I happened to have the Raiders plus the point,
- 27:16Speaker 1: So I do want to thank Pete Carroll. Good job
- 27:18Speaker 1: by him.
- 27:19Speaker 4: There you go in the whole country. I think you
- 27:21Speaker 4: had Denner in that game, obviously with the Raids a
- 27:24Speaker 4: toll bowl, but they had the whole the whole country
- 27:27Speaker 4: was riding them. And I'm here, Ben, I want to
- 27:32Speaker 4: play about the Uh, Chelsea's all. I'm tired of staring
- 27:37Speaker 4: at the guy's fates over there on TV. I want
- 27:40Speaker 4: him to quit. He's done. And uh, I think Bush
- 27:44Speaker 4: McCall's done too. The Colts are done and the Chiefs
- 27:47Speaker 4: are done. They're all all three year old done. And
- 27:51Speaker 4: I had I had. Uh, I'm drawing up Land against
- 27:55Speaker 4: seven our whole for a while here.
- 27:56Speaker 1: But well, I like that you worked complaining there too, though, Danny.
- 28:01Speaker 1: I like that you kind of subtly worked a complaining there,
- 28:04Speaker 1: which is, you know, I get it, you didn't you
- 28:06Speaker 1: didn't slap it right right across the forehead, but you
- 28:09Speaker 1: just you just kind of work that in there.
- 28:11Speaker 8: Uh.
- 28:11Speaker 1: Yeah. It would be fair to say that the Indianapolis Colts,
- 28:14Speaker 1: who had a nice beginning to the season, won a
- 28:17Speaker 1: bunch of games, had a high Faluton offense, they've now
- 28:19Speaker 1: lost three consecutive games, four of five, and they've got
- 28:23Speaker 1: the Seahawks up next in Seattle. That you mark that
- 28:27Speaker 1: down as a loss, so that'll be was that four
- 28:29Speaker 1: in a row and five out of six. Then they
- 28:32Speaker 1: got the Niners, which is you know, that's a that's
- 28:35Speaker 1: a home game. Maybe they win that, who knows, but yeah,
- 28:38Speaker 1: they're pretty much cooked.
- 28:40Speaker 4: Yeah, Danny Dons is all done so and.
- 28:45Speaker 1: He was he wasn't playing well anyway, but no one
- 28:48Speaker 1: wants to talk about that. The last couple of weeks
- 28:50Speaker 1: he hadn't played. Bro we turned the ball over.
- 28:52Speaker 4: He really shake wh about another guy? To Jason Daniels
- 28:57Speaker 4: seesus decades, is he going to be a guy that
- 29:01Speaker 4: fades away?
- 29:03Speaker 1: It's not looking good right now. I mean it's not
- 29:07Speaker 1: it's not. You know, it's obviously it's a different person,
- 29:09Speaker 1: but it's not looking like he's He's either the leagues
- 29:13Speaker 1: figured him out or there's something else going on. But
- 29:16Speaker 1: that's not the same player we saw last year for
- 29:18Speaker 1: the Washington whatever they're called there, the old red Skates.
- 29:22Speaker 1: But he's not I don't think well, he's definitely he's
- 29:28Speaker 1: definitely built like a stick figure. I mean he's still
- 29:31Speaker 1: I mean he's he's very spindly, spindly.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Build the meat on him, you know, he's really yeah, yeah, you.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Want to give him like a cheeseburger or something. It's like,
- 29:42Speaker 1: it's like Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner, the same thing.
- 29:45Speaker 1: Very lanky. I don't even know. It's just a bag
- 29:48Speaker 1: of bones. He looks like a bag of bones there,
- 29:50Speaker 1: Jayden Dan and he played terribly against minnesot He got
- 29:53Speaker 1: shut out Washington against the Vikings, he got he got.
- 29:57Speaker 4: Out class by McCarthey, which is not pretty serious.
- 30:00Speaker 8: Ben.
- 30:01Speaker 4: The copy is terrible too.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Well. He wasn't terrible in this game, though, Yeah he was.
- 30:05Speaker 1: It looks like the Commanders that they were so the
- 30:07Speaker 1: Commanders were so deflated, Danny DeVito that they lost that
- 30:10Speaker 1: overtime thriller to the Broncos. They decided to take the
- 30:13Speaker 1: week off against Minnesota, decided they didn't need to play,
- 30:16Speaker 1: and they did take the week off. So I hope
- 30:18Speaker 1: they enjoyed themselves whatever they were doing. My god, how.
- 30:21Speaker 4: About the how about the snowball? I watched that game, Ben,
- 30:24Speaker 4: you know, I bet that game twice. I bet the
- 30:26Speaker 4: Bengals has started and then when the Bills are losing,
- 30:29Speaker 4: I bet the Bills and I hit both sets.
- 30:32Speaker 8: I got.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. That's hard to do. That's hard. That's
- 30:37Speaker 1: not easy. Yeah, I hit it right, I had. I
- 30:40Speaker 1: had the Bengals, and I was very I was very happy.
- 30:43Speaker 1: I thought I I thought it would be an easy game,
- 30:46Speaker 1: as you know, Danny, because the Bengals were up by
- 30:48Speaker 1: ten points. I thought, Okay, in the fourth quarter, this
- 30:50Speaker 1: is going to be an easy, easy situation. And uh
- 30:53Speaker 1: it turned out to be not quite the easy situation there.
- 30:57Speaker 1: It was a little dicey, but it worked out, so
- 30:58Speaker 1: I'm happy about that. But right, all right, the great
- 31:02Speaker 1: Dandy in video there, checking in from Boston and all
- 31:06Speaker 1: over the NFL. Let's go back to the phones and
- 31:09Speaker 1: we'll say hello to Lucky Tony, who's in the Bay area. Hello,
- 31:14Speaker 1: Lucky Tony, Sorry about your bears, Lucky Tony, sorry about that.
- 31:18Speaker 4: Following content may be offensive. Hey Ben, what would I
- 31:22Speaker 4: say if Ronick and Wheel was wearing doing orange panties?
- 31:26Speaker 1: I don't know, beare down?
- 31:29Speaker 7: Thanks Ben?
- 31:30Speaker 1: Okay, there you go, Lucky Tony. Yes, that's Lucky Tony.
- 31:37Speaker 1: A fan of sports, radio and adult entertainment.
- 31:40Speaker 5: I Bear.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Yeah, the Bears, Doll Bears, the Bears, the Bears. Let's
- 31:45Speaker 1: say hello to Let's go to Andrey. She's in Berkeley
- 31:49Speaker 1: and she's the astrology insider. A big cosmic weekend. I
- 31:52Speaker 1: was driving around on Friday night, I thought of Andrey.
- 31:55Speaker 1: That giant moon, some kind of ice moon or something
- 31:59Speaker 1: like that, right, beautiful, it was really good look a
- 32:02Speaker 1: good look at moon.
- 32:03Speaker 8: Yes, it was a full, super cold moon, and the
- 32:08Speaker 8: supermoon means it's closer to the Earth, hence the Lord's size.
- 32:12Speaker 8: So it really was beautiful just seeing it. And they
- 32:15Speaker 8: actually showed it on Sunday Night football that had a
- 32:19Speaker 8: picture of it, so it really was something to behold.
- 32:22Speaker 8: So it was a super full cold moon.
- 32:26Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great. I mean I love Sunday night football.
- 32:28Speaker 1: I was able to go outside and look up and
- 32:30Speaker 1: I saw it. It was beautiful Friday and Saturday obviously
- 32:33Speaker 1: Sunday night too.
- 32:34Speaker 8: So yes, remember the full moon, it's like a cold
- 32:37Speaker 8: two days before the day of and two days after,
- 32:41Speaker 8: so it really was a sight to behold. And you know,
- 32:44Speaker 8: I was actually thinking of you when I was watching
- 32:46Speaker 8: the you know, the Mahomes game and the Chiefs and
- 32:51Speaker 8: Sunday Night football, and I could relate. He's my Virgo
- 32:54Speaker 8: birthday twin band September seventeenth, different year, of course, he
- 32:59Speaker 8: is nineteen ninety five, but we're both having the similar
- 33:02Speaker 8: Saturn transit, which is, you know, delays and life feels
- 33:07Speaker 8: like an endurance test. And I haven't been able to
- 33:10Speaker 8: call in. I think the last time I called in,
- 33:12Speaker 8: you got it right. I talked about my back injuries
- 33:15Speaker 8: and the dental.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Yeah, you like the things. You're still banged up here.
- 33:19Speaker 1: We gotta get you back. Yeah, what's what's wrong? You
- 33:22Speaker 1: got the back. I know you had some dental problems.
- 33:24Speaker 1: You had that going on.
- 33:25Speaker 8: Yeah, you're falling apart. It's like, well, you know, Ben
- 33:28Speaker 8: kind of got it right.
- 33:30Speaker 1: Well, you got to put it back together right, and
- 33:32Speaker 1: uh be like humpty dumpy, you fall off the wall.
- 33:35Speaker 1: You put them back together, and you get back up
- 33:37Speaker 1: and you do it again, and then you just kind
- 33:39Speaker 1: of take it easy, be mellow, right, mellow Andrew, everything
- 33:42Speaker 1: will be okay. And that's why they have doctors. They
- 33:43Speaker 1: can put you back together right and gets you back
- 33:45Speaker 1: on the game.
- 33:45Speaker 8: And the in the game out of retrograde. And it
- 33:48Speaker 8: was just like I could really relate to Patrick Mahomes
- 33:51Speaker 8: because he had you know, like you wrote in your
- 33:54Speaker 8: post on X, it's like kind of lost some magic there,
- 33:57Speaker 8: Magic Mahomes. So it's been a challenge in Pacure of
- 34:00Speaker 8: Saturn in Pisces is opposing his son in Virgo the
- 34:05Speaker 8: Celtical System Bones Knees.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and I mean it's not for Mahomes, but
- 34:11Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey. I mean you had not only was Taylor
- 34:13Speaker 1: Swift there, but Selena Gomez was there, and you can't
- 34:15Speaker 1: lose it. It's one thing to lose with Taylors, but
- 34:17Speaker 1: Selena Goman is there as well. You can't lose with Bone.
- 34:20Speaker 1: That's a double whammy, is what that is. Two of
- 34:22Speaker 1: the top entertainers in America. I know, you go out
- 34:25Speaker 1: there loose.
- 34:26Speaker 8: He showed a picture of him meditating, his his eyes closed.
- 34:29Speaker 8: I don't know if you caught that.
- 34:30Speaker 1: It's like, oh, he's probably planning his next podcast.
- 34:37Speaker 8: I think Taylor probably taught him that he was trying
- 34:39Speaker 8: to be chill. But it was really a difficult game
- 34:42Speaker 8: from uh, you know what we've grown to expect from
- 34:46Speaker 8: Magic Mahomes with that Saturn transit, you know, delay, not denial,
- 34:50Speaker 8: but the next month looks kind of challenging and that's
- 34:52Speaker 8: not great timing.
- 34:54Speaker 1: So it's a it's a mess. It is right now
- 34:57Speaker 1: for the chiefs there, Yeah, well, I guess Mahome can
