- 4:22Speaker 2: our lead this hour is from rehab. Now, if there's
- 4:25Speaker 2: any show on radio that has more experts on rehab,
- 4:29Speaker 2: I can't think of it. This show is at the
- 4:32Speaker 2: very top. In fact, there's a requirement to call the show.
- 4:35Speaker 2: You've had to go to rehab at least three or
- 4:37Speaker 2: four times to call into the show. Unless that's not true.
- 4:40Speaker 2: So our lead this hour is from the rehab clinic.
- 4:43Speaker 4: As we have a Pooka Pooka update Star wide receiver,
- 4:50Speaker 4: the next big contract in the NFL will likely go
- 4:53Speaker 4: to this guy.
- 4:54Speaker 2: If you've not heard, perhaps not, we have learned that
- 4:57Speaker 2: LRAMS wide receiver Pooka the has checked himself in into
- 5:02Speaker 2: a rehab facility after he was accused of going full
- 5:10Speaker 2: vampire and biting a woman while drunk on New Year's Eve.
- 5:16Speaker 2: His attorney confirming that his client has checked himself into
- 5:20Speaker 2: a luxury treatment center in of course, Malibu. Where else Malibu?
- 5:27Speaker 2: Why not?
- 5:28Speaker 5: All right?
- 5:28Speaker 2: So, Nikoua's lawyer said the rehab is because of a
- 5:33Speaker 2: combination of stories that y'all he told the New York Post,
- 5:37Speaker 2: y'all must be from Texas have run is certainly a
- 5:40Speaker 2: contributing factor. Now the attorney is positioning this as Puka
- 5:46Speaker 2: going to rehab before he got sued. We'll get more
- 5:51Speaker 2: into that later on. That's a good jumping out point.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Let us discuss the question, what do you see as
- 5:58Speaker 2: the driving force behind RAMS wide receiver, Puka Nakua and
- 6:02Speaker 2: his trip to a Malibu rehab, a holistic Malibu rehab.
- 6:09Speaker 2: So I've got NASA, where's Waldo and Rocket Fizz, and
- 6:14Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together, and we
- 6:17Speaker 2: are gonna make an alphabet soup, is what we're gonna make. ABC.
- 6:24Speaker 2: That's right, ABC, So number, I said, number, all right,
- 6:30Speaker 2: So we call it the Malibu Mirage, the Malamu Mirage.
- 6:35Speaker 2: So Pooka Nakua entering the NFL's Witness Protection SPA and resort.
- 6:41Speaker 2: It is not a desert oasis. No, no, no, no,
- 6:44Speaker 2: it is a Malibu oasis. And now don't get this twisted.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Do not whatever you do, do not get this twisted.
- 6:52Speaker 2: This is not about healing. It's not about healing. It's
- 6:55Speaker 2: about image laundering, not money laundering, image laundering. It's the
- 7:01Speaker 2: oldest trick in the Houdini Magic Set. If you open
- 7:04Speaker 2: up the Houdini Magic Set, you get the hidden ball trick.
- 7:10Speaker 2: You got that, You've got the card, the deck of
- 7:12Speaker 2: cards that's in there, and then you've got this. It's
- 7:16Speaker 2: right next to the I take full responsibility talking point
- 7:20Speaker 2: and that's not who I am. Those of course very popular.
- 7:25Speaker 2: This is coordinated Puoka going to the Holistic Rehab, much
- 7:30Speaker 2: like a NASA launch is coordinated. Countdown, countdown to contract
- 7:37Speaker 2: extension team minus clean image, clean image. Yeah, so you
- 7:43Speaker 2: go to the holistic rehab, you sit by the mighty
- 7:48Speaker 2: big blue Pacific Ocean. Now it's gonna be tough for Pooka.
- 7:52Speaker 2: He does not eat vegetables. And this is a blow
- 7:56Speaker 2: to the anti vegetable caucus. And that anti va vegetable
- 8:00Speaker 2: caucus includes Al Michael's Pokinakua and yours. Truly, we are
- 8:04Speaker 2: anti vegetable. And if you go to a holistic retreat,
- 8:08Speaker 2: you're going to be given cucumber water, whether you want
- 8:10Speaker 2: it or not. You're gonna be given that. You're also
- 8:14Speaker 2: gonna get avocado toast. You're gonna get avocado, toast, smoke
- 8:18Speaker 2: salmon as well on of course a begel smoke salmon begel.
- 8:22Speaker 2: You'll get that. And then suddenly, poof, just like that,
- 8:27Speaker 2: you are rebranded from hazard in the headlines, hazard in
- 8:32Speaker 2: the headlines to misunderstood artisan just like that. And that's
- 8:37Speaker 2: not just bending the rules. It's not bending the rules here.
- 8:40Speaker 2: That is or agami is what that is?
- 8:42Speaker 5: Right? That is.
- 8:43Speaker 2: I mean you're taking a piece of paper and twisting
- 8:45Speaker 2: that thing up and it's looks like a bird. Is
- 8:47Speaker 2: it a plane? I don't know. So we're not playing checkers.
- 8:51Speaker 2: It's chest, you know, that whole thing. And the rams
- 8:54Speaker 2: are watching the ownership Stan Kronkey's watching, the lawyers are
- 8:58Speaker 2: watching the possible court date, which is not who knows
- 9:03Speaker 2: if it's ever going to get the court that's also
- 9:06Speaker 2: out there, And so the contract Fairry is watching. With
- 9:12Speaker 2: forty plus million dollars aav average annual value over forty
- 9:16Speaker 2: million dollars, that Pooka gonna set the record, was on track,
- 9:20Speaker 2: on track to set the record for the highest average
- 9:22Speaker 2: annual value per year, You're gonna get the bag. So
- 9:26Speaker 2: the contract Fairry is hovering over so far like a
- 9:32Speaker 2: drone and you think the money just shows up like that,
- 9:36Speaker 2: And if you're starring in Byte Club, I don't know
- 9:40Speaker 2: about that. I don't know about that. Now, Pooka does
- 9:42Speaker 2: have a great opportunity if he plays his cards right here,
- 9:47Speaker 2: they can bring back the Vampire Diaries and he would
- 9:50Speaker 2: have a role in the reboot of the Vampire Diaries here.
- 9:54Speaker 2: And I want to point out also that we said
- 9:57Speaker 2: this the night the story came out with the Puka Nakusta, sorry,
- 10:01Speaker 2: this one accusation is a spark. We have not gotten
- 10:07Speaker 2: a wildfire. Very important, we have not gotten a wildfire.
- 10:11Speaker 2: And with Deshaun Watson when this his story came out
- 10:14Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, it was like, well he
- 10:16Speaker 2: came out denied the one accusation, and then it was
- 10:20Speaker 2: another one, and another one, and another one bites the dust,
- 10:24Speaker 2: and another one and another one and all that stuff.
- 10:26Speaker 2: We have not seen a girl gang feeding TMZ's inbox
- 10:31Speaker 2: with credible accusations against Pooka Nikoula. However, in the NFL,
- 10:37Speaker 2: oftentimes a single spark turns into a five alarm inferno
- 10:43Speaker 2: and it happens real quick, and so Nikoua's he's trying
- 10:46Speaker 2: to hit the reset button. Here's a lot of money
- 10:48Speaker 2: on the line. Is people writing his coattails trying to
- 10:50Speaker 2: get that money, and so it's rehab holistic reputation, the
- 10:56Speaker 2: old switcheroo. There go to Malibu and uh yeah, so
- 11:00Speaker 2: LB hardship angle for Puka at a Malibu rehab where
- 11:05Speaker 2: they charge eight thousand dollars a month and you go
- 11:10Speaker 2: there and just kind of hang out and knock yourself out,
- 11:13Speaker 2: all right now, keeping the theme of the hour, because
- 11:16Speaker 2: there's nothing better than talking about rehab on talk radio.
- 11:20Speaker 2: It's fascinating. So Tiger Woods, Yeah, another big, big couple
- 11:26Speaker 2: of months here for rehabs. So Tiger Woods turned down
- 11:29Speaker 2: shockingly the Ryder Cup capency. I don't know why. I
- 11:34Speaker 2: guess he must be busy flipping cars. So he's going
- 11:37Speaker 2: to step away from all golf activity, will not participate
- 11:42Speaker 2: in the Masters. In fact, he will not even be
- 11:44Speaker 2: in the country as a Florida judge has rubber stamped
- 11:49Speaker 2: rubber stamped a motion to allow Tiger Woods to vacate
- 11:53Speaker 2: the United States of America, and he's going to seek treatment.
- 11:57Speaker 2: According to Tiger's well compensated to turn the attorney asking
- 12:02Speaker 2: the judge that Tiger Woods be allowed to travel outside
- 12:05Speaker 2: the country for comprehensive inpatient treatment. The lawyer said that
- 12:09Speaker 2: the recommendation from Tiger Woods doctor Wink wink whatever is
- 12:15Speaker 2: doctor's Doc Mike, I don't know anyway, or Doc Dann
- 12:17Speaker 2: maybe Doc Dan from Minnesota. So Tiger Woods Doctor h
- 12:22Speaker 2: has recommended based on the quote complex clinical presentation and
- 12:27Speaker 2: the urgent need for a level of care that cannot
- 12:31Speaker 2: safely be or effectively be done within the United States
- 12:36Speaker 2: as Tiger's privacy has been repeatedly compromised. So the judge
- 12:41Speaker 2: bought this bull crap. And so Tiger's going to go abroad?
- 12:46Speaker 2: Will he be followed by a Netflix docu crew to
- 12:50Speaker 2: have a docu series Tiger goes to rehab, a four
- 12:55Speaker 2: part Netflix special? Yeah, all right, So question will Tiger
- 13:01Speaker 2: Woods successfully avoid the paparazzo while overseas getting some rehab.
- 13:11Speaker 2: So if you think, okay, if you think Tiger Woods
- 13:15Speaker 2: is going to vanish into the French mist like a phantom,
- 13:20Speaker 2: I have a pump and dump crypto. I would like
- 13:23Speaker 2: you to buy all of it. I want you to
- 13:24Speaker 2: buy all of it place. Come on, we have built
- 13:29Speaker 2: a global economy, a global economy in the age of
- 13:32Speaker 2: social media, and the currency is tipped off, as in, Hey,
- 13:37Speaker 2: I know something, I'm gonna make some money on this.
- 13:39Speaker 2: I'm gonna go viral and I'm gonna I'm gonna make
- 13:42Speaker 2: my cash. You honestly think a fifty thousand dollars bounty
- 13:47Speaker 2: from the Daily Mail in London or New York Post
- 13:53Speaker 2: is page six or TMZ is going to turn a picturesque,
- 13:57Speaker 2: just beautiful French chateau into a high stakes game of
- 14:02Speaker 2: where's Waldo? Come? Of course that's going to have it.
- 14:05Speaker 2: It's going to turn into a Where's Waldo game at
- 14:07Speaker 2: the French chateau and the French Riviera rehab clinic. It's
- 14:14Speaker 2: just a I believe a charade. I'm going with charade here.
- 14:17Speaker 2: It's theatrical. It's highly produced, is what it is here
- 14:22Speaker 2: in stage for the gullible, and then the gullible always
- 14:24Speaker 2: love this. They can't get enough of it. Every waiter,
- 14:27Speaker 2: every bell hop, every masseuse, all of these people from
- 14:32Speaker 2: Paris out to the suburbs and beyond, will beyond the
- 14:36Speaker 2: prowl money man of money, yep, money man of money. Yeah,
- 14:40Speaker 2: money doesn't talk, it screams. It always screams. We know
- 14:45Speaker 2: that that's the case. Here, imagine Tiger sitting in his
- 14:49Speaker 2: chateau looking out at the French riviera. He feels like
- 14:52Speaker 2: he's protected, surrounded by a wall of the Claire's and
- 14:56Speaker 2: chocolate moose and just settling in there and he's safe
- 14:59Speaker 2: behind the wall of desserts and wrong. No, the apaparazzo
- 15:06Speaker 2: are like heat seeking missiles, is what they're like.
- 15:09Speaker 5: There.
- 15:09Speaker 2: They don't care about your crembrouleat. They're not worried about that. Okay,
- 15:13Speaker 2: they're not. I care about the payday and not the
- 15:16Speaker 2: candy bar pay day. Not the candy bar pay day.
- 15:19Speaker 2: To think that Tiger will avoid the lens when everyone's
- 15:23Speaker 2: walking around with a high definition camera, even the guys
- 15:25Speaker 2: with the Obama phones they have that come on, and
- 15:29Speaker 2: Tiger's just another mark, just another mark on the board.
- 15:33Speaker 2: You grab your popcorn, get your popcorn now, But of
- 15:36Speaker 2: that popcorn, because the private retreat is about to become
- 15:40Speaker 2: public viewing. All right. Now, back to the NFL final point.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Back to the NFL. To Houston we go where the
- 15:46Speaker 2: owner cal McNair, another second generation ownership group. Dad made
- 15:51Speaker 2: the money and he's as big as stumblebum as Mark
- 15:55Speaker 2: Davis or the second generation owners anyway. So Cal McNair,
- 16:00Speaker 2: through his support around CJ. Stroud, the disgruntled when I
- 16:05Speaker 2: say disgruntles his play, he's making everyone disgruntled. Quarterback there
- 16:08Speaker 2: in Texas. McNair telling the media in Houston, quote, we're
- 16:12Speaker 2: totally behind him meeting c J. Stroud. He's totally bought
- 16:17Speaker 2: into being our quarterback and all that entails. Really, we
- 16:22Speaker 2: all want to get better every year. The Texans bloviating
- 16:27Speaker 2: owners said, he's doing that. He's doing that, everyone is
- 16:31Speaker 2: doing that. Everyone's getting better. Okay, didn't look like he
- 16:35Speaker 2: got better in the playoffs. What do I know? Question?
- 16:39Speaker 2: We know the fluff, the fluffer nutter from the owner here,
- 16:43Speaker 2: Cal McNair. The question how much confidence do the Texans
- 16:47Speaker 2: really have in c J. Stroud? We know what they said,
- 16:51Speaker 2: but how much confidence do they have? All Right? So
- 16:55Speaker 2: the whole thing with CJ. Stroud, it stinks. Not just
- 17:00Speaker 2: a little smell kind of from a distance, Not that
- 17:04Speaker 2: kind of stink. No, I'm talking about a full on stink.
- 17:06Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Grand Central Fish Market in July
- 17:11Speaker 2: on a rare, really blistering hot day, that kind of smell.
- 17:15Speaker 2: Now you watch the tape, you listen to the games
- 17:17Speaker 2: on the radio and all that stuff.
- 17:19Speaker 3: C J.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Stroud he had the false opening, came on like gamebusters, right,
- 17:26Speaker 2: it was like some kind of foodoo bugaloo. How good
- 17:30Speaker 2: he was as a rookie and he was an absolute warhead.
- 17:34Speaker 2: And turns out that now that we've got several years,
- 17:38Speaker 2: a couple of years after that rookie season, it was
- 17:41Speaker 2: actually a trip to Rocket Fizz, Soda Pop and candy shop.
- 17:45Speaker 2: And the warhead was a candy version, not the nuclear kind.
- 17:50Speaker 2: It was just a candy warhead, a tardy, fruity flavored
- 17:54Speaker 2: quarterback that seems to explode in big moments and right
- 18:00Speaker 2: upon contact just come boom, just like that. Now Stroud
- 18:06Speaker 2: had a terrible second year. Is the twenty fifth ranked
- 18:09Speaker 2: quarterback in the NFL. He followed that up by becoming
- 18:12Speaker 2: the twenty ninth ranked quarterback in the NFL. And then
- 18:16Speaker 2: you have the snuffleufogus in the room playoffs. As Donnie
- 18:23Speaker 2: Brosco said back in the day, forget about it, forget
- 18:27Speaker 2: about it. He had a first class ticket.
- 18:29Speaker 5: CJ.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Stroud of the Texans on the Vomit Comet in the
- 18:33Speaker 2: playoffs right there, and that that was a bakery with
- 18:38Speaker 2: a special on turnovers, fresh giveaways every five minutes. Come
- 18:45Speaker 2: on down, and the Texans, they're all in.
- 18:48Speaker 5: C J.
- 18:48Speaker 2: Stroud had the worst postseason in NFL history for a
- 18:53Speaker 2: player that played multiple games, and they're all in. Please,
- 18:57Speaker 2: we all know it's a results based industry and you
- 19:00Speaker 2: either produce or you get replaced, as simple as that.
- 19:02Speaker 2: And right now, right now, CJ. Stroud's producing extra strength anxiety,
- 19:08Speaker 2: all right, And Houston will pick up the fifth year option,
- 19:12Speaker 2: and I'll do them monologue and I'll kill them. I'll
- 19:15Speaker 2: char broil de text like what are you doing? They'll
- 19:17Speaker 2: do it. Would be stunned if they would not pick
- 19:21Speaker 2: that up. They're gonna pick up the fifth year option.
- 19:23Speaker 2: The reason they're gonna do it is because they're scaredy cats.
- 19:25Speaker 2: They're scaredy cats. They're scared to admit that they might
- 19:28Speaker 2: have hitched their wagon to the wrong horse. And it's
- 19:31Speaker 2: a problem. And it's also fomo. These guys benefit from fomo.
- 19:35Speaker 2: The biggest thing going in sports today is fomo. There's
- 19:38Speaker 2: a bunch of these players in baseball that haven't done
- 19:41Speaker 2: anything in the big leagues. And they're getting massive eight
- 19:46Speaker 2: year contracts because of Fomo. That these teams are so parento,
- 19:50Speaker 2: they have so so much low self esteem in baseball.
- 19:55Speaker 2: They're so worried like any of these guys turn out
- 19:57Speaker 2: to be good, they're just gonna go to the Dodgers
- 19:58Speaker 2: of the Yankees, or the Red Side the Cubs or
- 20:00Speaker 2: something like that. So these small market, small minded teams,
- 20:04Speaker 2: they give all these guys eight year contracts worth fifty million,
- 20:07Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars and they haven't proven anything. It's
- 20:10Speaker 2: Fomo and CJ. Stroud's going to get another year of
- 20:13Speaker 2: fifth year option because of Fomo. It's not confidence. You
- 20:17Speaker 2: don't have any confidence in CJ. Stroud. This is crossing
- 20:20Speaker 2: your fingers and hoping that nobody notices the stench. It
- 20:23Speaker 2: is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to

- 23:45Speaker 2: So we'll get into that. And what do we have here.
- 23:49Speaker 2: No Stradinas who actually we did a check on him.
- 23:54Speaker 2: We had to send in some paramedics to help out.
- 23:56Speaker 2: No Stradinis because he all he overdosed on shot on Freuda.
- 24:02Speaker 2: He overdosed on that. Really enjoying the Puka story, says
- 24:06Speaker 2: the Puka and his idiocy is the gift that just
- 24:09Speaker 2: keeps giving. It's great. I'm a talk to your host
- 24:11Speaker 2: and no studios. He's providing content. It's not a criminal
- 24:15Speaker 2: matter at this point. It's a civil matter. So it's
- 24:18Speaker 2: really nothing burger. Now, if a bunch of other people
- 24:20Speaker 2: come out it becomes a civil goes from civil to
- 24:24Speaker 2: criminals thing, then okay, that's that's something different. We're not
- 24:27Speaker 2: at that point. Alfie alien Opiner says, I would argue
- 24:31Speaker 2: that the big market red Sox are the kings of
- 24:34Speaker 2: Governors of the fo MO or governors of the fo
- 24:38Speaker 2: MO contracts. Do yourself a favor and look at how
- 24:42Speaker 2: many one hit wonders they've locked up Rusne Castillo. Well
- 24:47Speaker 2: didn't They signed Rusne for paw Tucket. They signed him
- 24:50Speaker 2: for paw Tucket and he did very well there, unless
- 24:52Speaker 2: he didn't late night drug test.
- 24:55Speaker 8: Wa wait, wait, are you telling me there's one hit
- 24:57Speaker 8: wonders in music and in sports?
- 25:00Speaker 2: Well, he never even was a hit. He just got
- 25:02Speaker 2: a contract without you. These guys are getting contracts now, Loraina,
- 25:04Speaker 2: without actually doing it. All these is somebody says you're
- 25:08Speaker 2: going to be good. You know how harder this predict?
- 25:11Speaker 2: And you with Lorena as a as a woman dating right? Uh?
- 25:14Speaker 2: And men and with men with women too right. You know,
- 25:17Speaker 2: you project you're in a relationship with someone, you project
- 25:19Speaker 2: like how things are gonna go. You're almost never right. Nope,
- 25:23Speaker 2: you're not right. I mean you probably dated guys. You
- 25:26Speaker 2: thought all this guy's you know, the guy's keeper, the one. Yeah,
- 25:29Speaker 2: I mean that happens all the time. I'm both ways.
- 25:31Speaker 2: And so these teams are betting on these guys that
- 25:34Speaker 2: are going to continue to get better. And they're not
- 25:36Speaker 2: gonna some guys peak in high school or whatever, and
- 25:38Speaker 2: so they get these massive contracts. And Rusne Castile was
- 25:42Speaker 2: one of the guys. He was like the originator of
- 25:45Speaker 2: just getting paid for nothing, and he did nothing and
- 25:47Speaker 2: he got paid a lot of money for nothing. Just Josh,
- 25:49Speaker 2: as I stand with Pooka, vegetables suck and a special
- 25:54Speaker 2: fu to pickles, get off my chicken sandwich one hundred percent.
- 25:58Speaker 2: I cannot tell you how many times I have been disappointed.
- 26:02Speaker 2: I don't need a Chick fil A very often, but
- 26:04Speaker 2: I'll go to Chick fil A, I'll get the chicken
- 26:05Speaker 2: sandwich and I'll bite into it forgetting the pickle, devastating,
- 26:12Speaker 2: want to puke in my mouth. Leave my freaking chicken
- 26:15Speaker 2: sandwich alone. I agree. It's a great take. And when
- 26:18Speaker 2: we go out, just Josh and all you guys at
- 26:21Speaker 2: the Ohio meet and greet we're gonna do later this month,
- 26:24Speaker 2: no vegetables. You will not see me eat a single
- 26:27Speaker 2: vegetable other the one exception, and it's is the garlic.
- 26:31Speaker 2: That's it. Let's go to the phones, and who do
- 26:35Speaker 2: we have this? Yeah, any meenie miney mo. Let's go
- 26:38Speaker 2: to J in Cincinnati. What's going on?
- 26:41Speaker 5: Jay?
- 26:41Speaker 2: Welcome?
- 26:42Speaker 5: What's ben? I know a good some lid places for
- 26:47Speaker 5: the meat and greet in Ohio basically from CVG the
- 26:52Speaker 5: airport in order to gaze to Dick the Beaver Creek
- 26:54Speaker 5: where Dick and Dayton lives. Yeah, we're happy to go
- 26:58Speaker 5: forty one miles to it's there.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Well, it is, it is. They have these things. They
- 27:04Speaker 2: have these things called highways, so it would be conceivable.
- 27:07Speaker 5: It's right off a highway. It's a casino, though, you
- 27:09Speaker 5: got to be over twenty one to get in.
- 27:11Speaker 2: I don't know what about the younger kids. I'm a
- 27:13Speaker 2: your hero that listen to overnight radio.
- 27:16Speaker 5: Colerain is gonna come.
- 27:21Speaker 2: I know Anthony will not be there because Lorrain is
- 27:23Speaker 2: not going to be there. So I'm pretty sure Anthony
- 27:25Speaker 2: is not going to be there. I don't have to
- 27:26Speaker 2: worry about that.
- 27:27Speaker 5: But it's it's Sun Centers like right half all right,
- 27:31Speaker 5: So here's the.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Deal, J. We are. We are a little over three
- 27:33Speaker 2: weeks away from this thing. I have been chatting with
- 27:37Speaker 2: a couple of people. I believe we have something in
- 27:40Speaker 2: the queue, but they've not got it. I've not gotten
- 27:42Speaker 2: it confirmed I have a nightmares that they're going to
- 27:45Speaker 2: drop out, much like I've had. I had a deal
- 27:48Speaker 2: with merch last year, was about to announce it. The
- 27:52Speaker 2: thing fell apart. So I'm concerned about that. But I
- 27:55Speaker 2: know we'll find somewhere and we just show up. We'll
- 27:58Speaker 2: just show up somewhere if we have to.
- 28:00Speaker 5: If I don't don't go to Dayton. You don't want
- 28:02Speaker 5: to go to Dayton, what's wrong with I'm go pick
- 28:05Speaker 5: Dick up.
- 28:06Speaker 2: I'll get I've said that before. We will. We will
- 28:12Speaker 2: effort Jay to get. Well, you know, the Reds are
- 28:15Speaker 2: playing that night, so maybe we'll all just go to
- 28:17Speaker 2: a Reds game or something that would be depressing.
- 28:19Speaker 5: You know, that's fine. But anyway, I was back nineteen
- 28:22Speaker 5: ninety two. I was shooting basketball my driveway. I was
- 28:25Speaker 5: a junior in high school and Chris Collins or his
- 28:28Speaker 5: porsal can uh it would be Dick and Dayton would
- 28:32Speaker 5: call in and be like, uh, I think the Reds
- 28:34Speaker 5: are going to be good this year if they can
- 28:36Speaker 5: hit and pitch. It was like twenty eight years later,
- 28:39Speaker 5: I'm listening to your show and he's saying the same
- 28:41Speaker 5: ship stuff.
- 28:42Speaker 2: Yeah you can't, Yeah, you should be able to say.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Isn't it fascinating that Dick and Dayton has the same
- 28:47Speaker 2: material and was Andy Furman hosting back then.
- 28:51Speaker 5: He was on air and Collinsworth was on there before
- 28:54Speaker 5: he got the big shot.
- 28:55Speaker 2: I got you, I got you. Yeah. Well it's all
- 29:00Speaker 2: places okay. Well, well well you're you're my backup plan.
- 29:03Speaker 2: If I know the deal falls apart, We'll just figure
- 29:05Speaker 2: we'll figure out where to go together and hang out there. Oh,
- 29:08Speaker 2: thank you, Jay, I said, Jay, and Cincinnati lovely man.
- 29:13Speaker 2: That's pretty funny. Yeah, it's twenty eight years old. Dick
- 29:16Speaker 2: and Dayton calls up. Now twenty years later, Dick's still
- 29:22Speaker 2: on the radio saying the same stuff, still gone higher. Yeah,

- 38:12Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago, it seemed like Russell Wilson
- 38:14Speaker 3: might get signed by the Chiefs, but instead they went
- 38:16Speaker 3: with Justin Fields. Now it's being reported that there is
- 38:18Speaker 3: quote no market for Russell Wilson. Ben, do you think
- 38:21Speaker 3: mister unlimited goes unsigned?
- 38:23Speaker 2: Well, it would take like five quarterbacks getting into a
- 38:26Speaker 2: clown car accident for him to get signed at this point,
- 38:29Speaker 2: so there will be injuries and so he's on that
- 38:31Speaker 2: short list. It doesn't look good. Sounds like the Raiders
- 38:34Speaker 2: want Kirk Cousins, not Russell Wilson. That's the only available
- 38:37Speaker 2: job unless Aaron Rodgers goes away next.
