  Speaker 1: NFL insider Diana Russini.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Meeting canoodling.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: You know, just a quinkie dink you know that kind
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of thing just happen to end up at the same
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: very small boutique hotel two hours away from Phoenix, two
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: hours away from Phoenix.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: It's just very odd that that happened.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: But our lead this hour is from Pittsburgh, PA, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it ran a gossip website years ago. We had a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: mantra in the newsroom that today's rumors or tomorrow's news,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and turns out that yesterday's rumors or today's news if
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you have not heard yet, possibly no, Well, we have
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: now learned that rookie shortstop Connor Griffin, Connor Griffin and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: that's Connor Ko, not co Connor with k Connor. Griffin
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and the Pirates have locked up a arranged marriage.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Nine years.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: The top suspect in baseball getting paid big time money
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: without proving a damn thing. How great would that be?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: How great would that be in your life? You don't
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: actually have to prove that you're good at the job.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You just get paid thinking you're going to be good
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: at the job. He has less than a week of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: service time in the big leagues. I believe the number
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: was five days. The deal is worth one hundred and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: forty million. That is the largest contract the Pirates have
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: ever given out, which says a lot about the Pirates
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: as well as any player in baseball for a rookie season.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: No one has ever gotten this kind of money, so
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: they've reached an understanding. Now, keep in mind, when I
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: was a kid, it was a big deal. I'm a dinosaur.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: We collected these things called baseball cards, and at some
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: point in my childhood, we all thought we were going
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to get rich because they had rated rookie cards, and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: rookie cards you got to collect rookie cards. You know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: these guys weren't getting paid. They were not getting paid
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and they used to always be a joke in baseball.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: A somebody's got to take the rookie out of they
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: can't afford eat. No, no, the rookies buying dinner for
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the whole team. He's beguiled the Pirates, So it's good
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: jumping off point, let us discuss the question for the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: esteem panel. Connor Griffin getting one hundred and forty million
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: dollars deal from the Pirates at the age of nineteen,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: what a great.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Myths for this is? Now?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Is this a bargain or a boondoggle for the Buccos?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Connor Griffin one hundred and forty million dollar.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Deal with Pirates?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Is this a bargain or a boondoggle for the Bucos?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: So I've got got al Gore, three sisters, and Alaska Airlines,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and we are going to blend all of these things
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: together and provide you a bitter pill to swallow as
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: we shift into a higher gear.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: So A.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: We all know from watching our sports depending on how
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: old you are, I assume whether you're young or older
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: than me or around my age, this is a high
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: stakes poker hand played with house money, played with house
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: money that isn't really there, and that is what makes
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: this interesting. Now here's the reality of the situation, based
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: on a minutes long Mallard deliberation.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: This is not a bargain.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Some of the bleeding heart baseball bloggers who all love
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen, they believe this is such a great deal
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: for the pirates. What it is, I'm gonna sum it
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: up in four words. It's a prepaid prophecy, is what
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it is. It's a pre paid prophecy. And the rich
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: looked into the crystal ball and determined that this player
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: is going to be magical. That's what they're betting on.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: The pirates are not buying beachfront property. This is not
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a beachfront bungalow.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It's not. What they're doing is buying.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: The sketch of the beach which is currently in Harrisburg, PA.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: And they're hoping that former Vice President Al Gore was
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: right with all of his doomsday prophecies and that there'll
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: be great floods and Harrisburg will be beachfront property.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Right on the Atlantic Ocean. That's what they're hoping.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: We If Connor Griffin becomes a top ten player in baseball,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: even a top twenty player, in baseball. This deal looks
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: like grand larceny in favor of the Pirates. It does
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: if he's merely good. If he's merely good, what you
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: have done is bought a mystery box from the interweb,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna unwrap the box. What's in the box
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and it's full of packing peanuts?
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: What woll Now? That's if he's good.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: If he flames out, which does happen, there is a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: dimension in the multiverse. This does not work out, then
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: it becomes Backwater Buffoonery. Buckos Backwater Buffoonery, a nine year
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: anchor to the bottom of the sea, tied to the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: franchise that we know already counts pennies like the pirates
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: still run the organization like we're in the Great Depression.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: That's how they operate there in Pittsburgh, and the early
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: returns very small sample size. The guy that just got
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty million dollars contract, Connor Griffin, is
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: betting a buck sixty seven in a handful of games.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: So it's boom or bust, boom or bust. There is
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: no middle ground. There is no middle ground. It's kind
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of like betting the over. I'm always an under guy,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: because you're you're winning until you lose when you bet
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the under, when you bet the over, if you end
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: up betting me over on that, well you bet the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: over and then they have to go over the number
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: for you to win. You're losing until you end up winning.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And so it's kind of like that, right, the Pirates
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: are losing until Connor Griffin shows that he's legit.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Physically, as we've talked about, Griffin is built like Adonis.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: He's got all the measurables that you would look for.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: If you were a baseball scout and you did your homework,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you'd say, Okay, this guy's a beefcake.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: We're ready to go.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Still, this little problem, I don't know. You have to
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: actually hit the ball consistently, and it's the day to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: day grind that is always the issue.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Like occasionally, yeah, you can play well and.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Be great, but you got to do it on a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: daily basis, and so you don't know what you don't
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: know the other problem I.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Was thinking about when I was coming into.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: The studios and I know we're on in Pittsburgh and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: we got guys that are fans, said, not tons of feedback,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: not tons of listener reaction from Pittsburgh. But should fans
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: trust the Pirate's talent evaluation? Isn't this the same franchise
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that has botched countless draft picks. The Pirates have been
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: bad for many, many years, which means they've had top
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: ten picks in the draft pretty much every year. And
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: while they certainly have some players that look like they're
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: ready to wreck havoc on baseball.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: It's not like they've done anything. It's not that they've
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: won anything.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: So why believe that they got this one right? Is
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the question now turning the page.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: But not far.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: One of the players they absolutely got right in Pittsburgh
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: is Cy young winner. Paul Skeens, the pride of Eltoral
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: High School in Orange County. Paul Skeens, who reacted reaction
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: reaction to the nineteen year old Connor Griffin, his teammate,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: getting this massive contract right the riches of Solomon for
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Connor Griffin. And what did Paul Skeen say? He gave
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the money Quote, we'll cut through the fat here. I'm
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: going to cut through the fat with our chef's knife.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And here's the money, quote Paul Skeen said. Quote he
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: meaning Connor Griffin. He's going to be the face of
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the Pirates for a long time. Quotes quote question should
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Pirates fans be worried that the cy young winner Paul
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Skeen's is calling Connor Griffin the face of the franchise.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: So you can't see me unless you're watching on the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel at Ben Mallers showing for that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I thank you.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I am nodding my head, yes, I am nodding my head.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: And it's both a harmless, benign compliment and it is
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: also very telling, very very telling. As we have to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: parse the words here. It's quiet distancing. Quiet distancing is
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: what I would say, polite smile masking some frustration there.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Paul Skeins is too smart not to know what that quote. Implus,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: all right, you've been around. They're not that old. But
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: he's been in the limelight for a while. He's not
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a country bumpkin. He knows what that quote. Implus, he
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: knows the market. If you follow the cookie crumbs, they
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: lead all the way across the Three Sisters Bridges and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: straight out of Pittsburgh. The Pirates just emptied the piggy
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: bank for Connor Griffith. He just emptied the piggy bank
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: for Connor Griffin. Meanwhile, Paul Skeens is staring at a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: future payday that is, at least, at this point three
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: times what Connor Griffin got. Conor Griffin at age nineteen
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: got one hundred and forty million dollars. Well, you do
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the math, and it is very likely, barring some kind
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of Tommy John operation, that Paul Skeins is going to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: get four hundred million dollars plus when the time comes
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to sign a mega mega, mega mega mega contract. He
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: doesn't see the math. It's not personal, right, it's not personal.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: It's just business. That's how it is. And it's a
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: pirate's life for me. It's a pirate's life for me.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: It's the Pittsburgh Ponzi scheme of baseball. Now, what is
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Ponzi scheme of baseball? You develop, you showcase,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: you cash out, Rinse wash repeat, rinse wash repeat. Yes,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: that's how that works. All right, last word here we
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: now head to the men in Blue, not Dodger blue, No, no,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the men in blue.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: So we're a few weeks into the baseball season. Few
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: weeks into the baseball season.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And the new automated ball Strike Challenge system, the ABS
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: is what it's called, has been very liberating for some
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and very upsetting for others, mainly the umpires who are
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: not happy. And when the umpires aren't happy, we get
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to rant about it on the radio. Yeah, so the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: umpire's upset. They are said to be quote quietly stewing.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I wonder what kind of stew quietly stewing why because
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: because of what they feel is the quote nearly impossible
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: standard that they are now being judged by.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Man. That's get the violin out, all right.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Question, Why are MLB umpires whining about being judged for accuracy?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Isn't that literally the job? Isn't that literally? The job
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: to be judged on one's accuracy? That's the gig, all right.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: So the umpires are having a party. It's not a
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: birthday party, it's not a wedding party. It's a pity
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: party because, wait for it, they are being judged on accuracy.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I don't like the whole robot invasion.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: All that, but this would be like an Alaskan Airlines
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: pilot whining that the landing has to be right in
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the middle of the runway. Well that's not fair. Why
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: would you judge me? You mean I have to land
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: this plane right in the middle of the runway. What
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: is wrong when you?
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I just want to let it doesn't matter. I land
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the play. I land the play.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: That's it. Boo hoo hoo.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Their feelings are hurt.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, this is not a group therapy session led by
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: blind Sophie.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: This is not it right.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: It's Major League Baseball under rob manfraud. This is a
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: shadow rebellion against the robots. The zebras of baseball think
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: it's a war on stripes, and in many ways it
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: is in that regard. I have noticed, though, the players
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: of baseball seem to love the system.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Am I wrong on that?
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Has anyone really complained? That? Seems like they all like it?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: So there's certainly some insecurity here, and I think that
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: would be the word I would use insecurity here. This
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: is like when they added self checkout at Kroger. Some
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: people started panicking, saying, well, wait a minute, now. The
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: good news for people that work at grocery stores and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: self checkout is there's so many criminals out there that
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: steal crap at self checkout that they've a lot of
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: stories are starting to get rid of self checkout because
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: people can't stop stealing stuff in certain places, and they're
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: limiting how many items you can put in self checkout
• 17:20

  Speaker 1: fussy baby. They're acting like a fussy baby now. The
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: replay it is interesting to node, as the late Vin
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Scully would say, it is interesting to Node that the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: replays about fifty to fifty. It's about fifty to fifty
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: since Major League based regular season started. Now we don't
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: have the updated numbers from Wednesday, but into Wednesday, there
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: have been six hundred and fifty three challenges to date
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and the calls have been overturned fifty four percent of
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the time. Now, the pitchers and catchers when they have challenged,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: it's fifty nine percent, So that's almost sixty percent compared
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to the success rate of the batters, which is less
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: than fifty percent, which is less than fifty percent. Forty
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: eight percent is less than fifty percent. So that's that.

  Speaker 2: Okay, well, good, good for you.
• 22:37

• 22:47
  Speaker 1: we'll skip over that. Let's see you're a little okay,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: not a Burner says. The MLB automated pitch system has
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: been success, been a success. I believe the other option
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: for measuring where balls were landing would not have worked
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: out as well. Well, that would that would be that'll
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: be a little a little difficult too, to use that technique.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: That would be be a little difficult. All right, we
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: have the the great onun washed.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones, and we have the voice
• 23:22

  Speaker 1: A man who stood atop the mountain had thousands of entries,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: and only one person could win the champion of the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Bracket Challenge, a man who won a
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars. We welcome in listener, Matthew Kare. Congratulations Matthews, congratulations, buddy.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Thanks, thank you, mister Ben. First of all, I want
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: to tell you I've never called the radio station before,
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: but I just want to know I've been a little kid.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: You said you were a kid.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Really, yeah, I was a kid. My dad actually would
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: go to work really early and he'd hit the record
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: button on the cassette player when I was a kid,
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: so it would record you. Uh. Karen King, ok, Karen.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: You know I have not heard Karen's name in a
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: long time. That's awesome. Karen is retired.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna you know, I'm going to send her
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: a text.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I won't send her a text right now because she'll
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: kill me if.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I send her a text at this time, but I'll
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I think she has normal hours, but I'll send her
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: a text tomorrow.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: So you're where do you live, by the way, Matthew?
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Where are you at?
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Agwan, Massachusetts?
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: All right? Almost their flags New England next to Springfield
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame, but I grew up in Worcester,
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: so that's why I'm definitely going to go to see.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: You when you oh nice ah, yeah, make sure you're
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: going to get one of those oversized cartoon checks that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: they have on the lottery.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: And you know I'm calling because I do work at
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: ten o'clock in the morning, so I always do listen
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: to you throughout the day, or when I have to
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: get up because of medical conditions to go to the
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: bathroom if I can't fall asleep. And I just heard
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: you mentioned my name. I'm calling to tell you specifically
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: that I will honor paying for weed Man Hippie to
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: come to Massachusetts.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Well, I know you don't have to do that at Matthew.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: You are very kind to throw that out, and it
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: would be great to have weed Man show up, But
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: if you want to do it, I'm not going to
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: stop you from doing it. Coop, I think you'd agree,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Coop that weed Man sometimes can it can be a
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: little dicey to deal with weed Man in terms of getting.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Him to actually do stuff.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: So you maybe should go through Lisa, right, Coop, I
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: think Lisa might be the one that she's grown up
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: in the relationship.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Sure, but I go through she's.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Tried and give you the money so you can give
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: it to him.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, we're just worried weed Man might just
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: he might keep the money, you know what I'm saying.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: So you should spend the money on something, Matthew, you won.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: That's cool, you know all that. You should go out
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and give yourself a little gift or something, you know,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and it's.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: That's it's very honorable of you to do that.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: And if you really want to do it, we'll reach
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: out to weed Man and we'll let him know. And uh, Coop,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: why don't you see if you can get a contact
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: email or number for Matthew and then we can proceed.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: And but I do want to thank you Matthew for
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: listening all these years. That's awesome. Man, you're all grown
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: up now, and uh like, isn't that crazy? It doesn't
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: seem like that long ago to me. I don't know,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: it's weird, it's odd.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm older. You're old, but somebody's
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: old here.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I'm only apparently I'm much older. I guess I don't know.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I don't like that Spider Man meme. We're all pointing
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: at each other. No, you're old. It is odd because
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I know when I was a kid, I thought, wow,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I'm never going to be old.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Shock anyway, Well, congrat How did you do it? Matthew?
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Did you have a secret formula?
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Are you a college basketball savant?
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know what I did.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: You just randomly picked teams on the on the website
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: you end up winning.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Huh, that's good.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: I think it's because I remember Jason. I think I
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: was Jason and Smith that said always, because that's what's
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: become more of a the upper echelon guys now since
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: with all this nil they can afford benches, so pick
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: people who have, you know, stronger benches, and always picked
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: a higher seed. There's no as many upsets. So that's
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: basically what I did.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Wow, it worked out, so congratulations. I would always go coaches.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I usually go coaches. I can't really name as many
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: as I used to used to be all big name coaches.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I go coaches.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: And if you have a good point guard you used
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: to have a really good point.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Guard, you do well in the tournament and all that.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Well, congratulations, matt you are the big winner, and I'm
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: sure you who have they contacted you.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they contact you and said that you want.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: To No, No, they haven't contacted you.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: No.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: All right, well we'll make sure somebody contacts you and
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: lets you uh, you know, I don't know who. Can
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: we send his number two? I don't know somebody will
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: contact you, Matthew if you didn't win. So thank you, buddy,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Get some sleep, Okay, All right, there's
• 28:08

• 28:25
  Speaker 1: years ago.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: I believe I was like nine. Yeah, it was.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: January, probably January twentieth of nine would be the last.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: That was the last night before I got whacked for
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: months in twenty six days and then came back, and
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: then Karen did not come back, so that way we
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: did not work together after that.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Alf says, Hey, Malar Malor lives where I he lives
• 28:49

• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, I don't. I don't know any about that.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: But well, Andrew, you're trying to get that worst caller.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: You're doing a hell of a job killing it. So
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: that's a great call right there, to be the worst
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: call in the show. Uh well. NFL coach was asked
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: about criticism for missing the NFL's head coaches photo Todd Munkin,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: the Monkman coach of the Browns, was like, hey, you
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: missed the photo to get a haircut. That's kind of embarrassing.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: People are ripping you for it. And so coach, what
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: do you have to say? Todd Munkin said, quote, I
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: don't give an s.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: I think was he talking about a ship?
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: No? Not a ship? All right, how about this Luca
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Doncic conspiracy theory? So Luca left the United States to
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: go to Europe to get treatment, and that was the report.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: That was the report. There's special treatment.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: You can only get in Europe you can't get in
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the United States, which is plausible. Many people say, Okay,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: well that makes sense. Why not, Well what if she
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: just was homestat and wanted to go back home for
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: a few days and get treatment there rather than get
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: treatment in the States.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Because it is.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Being reported that there was some skult duggery, some horn
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: swoggling going on that Luka Doncic goes over to Europe
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: and doctor's claiming, now, the twenty thousand dollars treatment that
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: he went to Europe to get is available in the
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: United States. So are the basketball media guys that are like, well,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: he really wants to come back and help the Lakers out.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: That's why he went over to Europe and all that.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: After he injured himself against Oklahoma City.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: What if?
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: What if that was just because he wanted to go
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: on vacation.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Not that he's not hurt, but he wanted.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: To have a nice vacation and enjoy himself and got
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: a little homesick at some home cooking and all that.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the story that.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Is bouncing around domestically. Costs around twenty thousand dollars the treatment,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: according to sports medical experts.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: So there you go.

  Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence had arguably the best season of his career

  Speaker 4: last year in his first underhead coach Liam Cohen. Cohen

  Speaker 4: said this week that there is quote so much room

  Speaker 4: for Lawrence to continue to improve. Ben, do you think
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: Cohen can unlock Lawrence's full potential?
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I'm skeptical of how much better Trevor Lawrence is going
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: to get.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: He did play much better than I imagined last year
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: in Jacksonville.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: They're going to play a tougher schedule this year because
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: they won a bunch of games and they made the
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: playoffs and all that.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Last year.
• 39:38

  Speaker 4: you think Nipple can win it over Flag?
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Can he win it?
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: I don't believe he will. Cooper Flags had a big
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: finish in the year for the Mavericks. I think that
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: pushes him over the top. But I love that Dale
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Earnhardt junior Buggety, Buggety, bugget He's going for him next.

  Speaker 4: in pro sports.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Bend, who do you think is the best jersey in propt? Well,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: I'm biased here. I love the old Rams jersey when
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: they know the Rams horns back in the day when
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: they played in Anaheim and the old Houston Oilers loved
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: me blue.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks had some good jerseys.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Back in the day with the hawk on the.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Shoulder, But I wouldn't say the Raiders. That's pretty basic.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: How did we do?
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Coop?
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: You pass this nision that is a wade pull you
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: off the bar, chicken dinner
