0:32
Speaker 1: Watson's time with the Browns? It appears to be coming
0:36
Speaker 1: to an end. And in Minnesota, are you gonna buy
0:39
Speaker 1: or sell Coach Kevin O'Connell saying that the interest in
0:43
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is not a knock on JJ McCarthy. We'll

Speaker 1: a no, Mister Irrigation, Who's a loyal minion of this
1:57
Speaker 1: show in Houston, big fan of the number ten pounds
2:00
Speaker 1: and so our lead this hour is from football, kind
2:04
Speaker 1: of football, not good football now. I long have had
2:08
Speaker 1: a mantra under the cover of darkness that the better
2:11
Speaker 1: story is in the losing locker room, and some teams
2:14
Speaker 1: find ways to lose even in the off season. They
2:17
Speaker 1: find new creative ways to f up in the off season.
2:20
Speaker 1: But our lead this hour is from the owners meetings
2:23
Speaker 1: and they are at a swinky resort in Florida, the
2:27
Speaker 1: Ola Garks of pig Skin getting together and really talk
2:31
Speaker 1: about roughing it. I mean, my god. They're at the
2:34
Speaker 1: Breakers in Palm Beach living the hard life. It is
2:38
Speaker 1: not easy. It is not that job is not that easy.
2:43
Speaker 1: So some interesting comments. We go where the news of
2:46
Speaker 1: the day takes so I thought this was pretty interesting.
2:48
Speaker 1: We spent a couple of minutes shaking and baking it
2:52
Speaker 1: Cleveland football team, the robber baron of the Cleveland football
2:57
Speaker 1: team making some headlines. If you didn't hear what he
3:00
Speaker 1: had to say, probably not. Why would you? You might
3:02
Speaker 1: have missed it. See the guy named Jimmy Haslam, Jimmy HASLM.
3:06
Speaker 1: He's the owner of the Browns, and he has driven
3:10
Speaker 1: that franchise right into the abyss, even further to the
3:13
Speaker 1: abyss than they thought they could go. And it's like,
3:15
Speaker 1: how low can you go? Let's go a little lower.
3:17
Speaker 1: Let's see how low we can go. And down down, down, down, down,
3:20
Speaker 1: down down. So Jimmy Haslam, with comments from the Palm
3:26
Speaker 1: Beach soore A the NFL league meetings there, described the
3:30
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson transaction as a big so wing and a
3:39
Speaker 1: miss I saw wing and a whoop. It's like he's
3:45
Speaker 1: playing designated hitter for the Boston Red Sox. Justay right
3:48
Speaker 1: through the pitch, just boom, just through the pitch. He said.
3:51
Speaker 1: Quote we thought we had the quarterback, we didn't, and
3:56
Speaker 1: we gave up a lot of draft picks to get him,
4:00
Speaker 1: Haslam said, of Watson, So we've got to dig ourselves
4:03
Speaker 1: out of that hole. He stated it was an entire
4:09
Speaker 1: organization decision. He said, it ends with D and I
4:15
Speaker 1: blaming his wife as well. That's what every good man does,
4:17
Speaker 1: blame your wife. So I hold us accountable. That's right.
4:22
Speaker 1: D Haslam and Jimmy Haslam, they are responsible, as Haslam ranted.
4:29
Speaker 1: Watson is d and E as the Browns quarterback, not
4:35
Speaker 1: gonna play this year and we'll never start a meaningful
4:38
Speaker 1: game again for the Cleveland Browns. But that's not the
4:41
Speaker 1: talking point here. The talking point, as we discuss, is
4:45
Speaker 1: the commentary from the owner of the Cleveland football team.
4:49
Speaker 1: So thumbs up or thumbs down? Question? Thumbs up were
4:53
Speaker 1: thumbs down on it being possible for Browns fans to
4:58
Speaker 1: truly hold owners Jimmy Haslam accountable in air quotes? Can
5:04
Speaker 1: you really hold an owner accountable? Is that even possible
5:08
Speaker 1: to do? So? I've got teflon, sewing machine, and iPhone
5:15
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
5:19
Speaker 1: we are going to make an outhouse, which is the
5:23
Speaker 1: Cleveland brown franchise. They are in the outhouse. What an
5:27
Speaker 1: appropriate name the Browns right to Brown Town? We go.
5:30
Speaker 1: So to answer the question thumbs up or thumbs down,
5:33
Speaker 1: is it possible for the Brown loyal minion to hold
5:39
Speaker 1: owner Jimmy Haslam accountable. So I'm going to go thumbs
5:43
Speaker 1: down on this. I'm going thumbs down on the idea
5:46
Speaker 1: that you can hold the owner accountable. It's impossible. Jimmy
5:49
Speaker 1: haslm knows this. He knows this. I like how I say,
5:52
Speaker 1: it's an organizational decision. The buck stops with you, buckaroo,
5:56
Speaker 1: you dumb dumb You're the owner of the team. So
5:59
Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslam that he's got nothing to worry about here.
6:04
Speaker 1: He's insulated. He is the football teflon don as the
6:11
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns owner, and the NFL does not penalize owners
6:17
Speaker 1: for being dumb dumbs. They don't when it comes to
6:21
Speaker 1: football decisions like bad trades or even worse contracts. It
6:26
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how ridiculous it is that you don't even
6:31
Speaker 1: get punished for anything as an NFL lower, What do
6:35
Speaker 1: you Jim Irsay and Robert Craft have gotten some punishment,
6:39
Speaker 1: but it's not real punishment. Said, well, you can't go
6:42
Speaker 1: to your luxury box for a couple of games. We're
6:44
Speaker 1: going to punish you. Oh my god, I've got to
6:46
Speaker 1: stay at my mansion and watch on television. How terrible
6:50
Speaker 1: is that the hardship, it's ridiculous. So he's not gonna
6:55
Speaker 1: be punished, Haslam. The only punishment is he's got to
6:58
Speaker 1: pay two hundred thirty million dollars to stiff the creepy
7:01
Speaker 1: quarterback to Sean Watson and he lost some scratcher tickets
7:05
Speaker 1: that were given to Houston. That's the only punishment. And
7:09
Speaker 1: the NFL, if you look at when they intervene in situations,
7:16
Speaker 1: the only time they will even pretend to do anything
7:20
Speaker 1: is if you damage the brand. If you attack the
7:23
Speaker 1: shield right then they go nuts. Or if you attack
7:25
Speaker 1: the money the finances, now that is a capital offense.
7:30
Speaker 1: That's high crimes and misdemeanors when you start messing around
7:34
Speaker 1: with the finances, fraud, legal scandals. Ironically, Jimmy Haslam knows
7:40
Speaker 1: a thing or two about that. You might want to
7:42
Speaker 1: look up and do a Google search on the Flying J,
7:45
Speaker 1: the Pilot Flying J and some financial shenanigans that took
7:49
Speaker 1: place back in twenty seventeen. There was a large settlement
7:54
Speaker 1: and there were certainly some people that raised eyebrows at
7:57
Speaker 1: that time. Keep in mind that during the Browns purchase,
8:02
Speaker 1: he's owned the Browns. The Haslim family since twenty twelve,
8:05
Speaker 1: I believe it is, But the NFL approved it anyway,
8:07
Speaker 1: so it's not like they didn't have a problem with
8:11
Speaker 1: everything that was going on the Watson related fallout. If
8:16
Speaker 1: there is any real fallout other than mean things being
8:19
Speaker 1: said on social media, he has not crossed in any
8:23
Speaker 1: kind of punishable territory, if you will. And the only
8:27
Speaker 1: way to really get back at ownership, and it's only
8:30
Speaker 1: happened a few times in my lifetime, is the a
8:34
Speaker 1: word apathy. That is for a very loyal, passionate group
8:39
Speaker 1: of knuckleheads in Cleveland who lived their life around the
8:43
Speaker 1: Browns to no longer care. And if you are able
8:47
Speaker 1: to demonstrate that successfully for a extended period of time,
8:51
Speaker 1: that gets people's attention because they don't like that, and
8:56
Speaker 1: they're bothered by that, and they know right now they
8:59
Speaker 1: got a bunch of suckers right about how pathetic the
9:01
Speaker 1: Browns are. You're gonna buy your jerseys, You're gonna go
9:04
Speaker 1: to the games, You're gonna watch the games on TV,
9:06
Speaker 1: because what the hell else do you have to do?
9:07
Speaker 1: They got you by the balls, But the moment they
9:10
Speaker 1: don't have you by the balls, then that changes the
9:13
Speaker 1: Dodgers were able. Dodger fan base was able to do
9:15
Speaker 1: that with that evil, wretched Frank McCord. They got rid
9:18
Speaker 1: of him. Now he still owns the parking lots. But
9:20
Speaker 1: they were able to show apathy for several years, and
9:23
Speaker 1: that really freaked out the people a Major League Baseball
9:26
Speaker 1: and so they pressed a few buttons. And now the
9:29
Speaker 1: Dodgers spend a gazillion dollars every year and everyone's happy now.
9:32
Speaker 1: Page two. As far as the Brown situation, taking a
9:35
Speaker 1: couple of steps back here, how would you describe Deshaun
9:39
Speaker 1: Watson's time with the Browns now that it's heading officially
9:42
Speaker 1: towards an end that the owner of the team has
9:46
Speaker 1: said with with he might have said woof, woof, because
9:50
Speaker 1: it's a wolf wolf situation. So Jimmy Haslam did not
9:53
Speaker 1: go far enough the Oligark, owner of the Cleveland Browns,
9:59
Speaker 1: when he said it was a big swing in a
10:01
Speaker 1: miss that just scratches the surface. Okay, just scratches the surface.
10:05
Speaker 1: Here they knew what they were getting, the idea that
10:09
Speaker 1: somehow they were in trouble because they didn't know the
10:14
Speaker 1: full depth of the situation. No, they were in the
10:16
Speaker 1: middle of it, and they still went for it. It
10:21
Speaker 1: was the Houston Texans scandal that the Browns wanted. They
10:28
Speaker 1: asked for it, and Watson was in. He was neck
10:32
Speaker 1: deep in it. He was neck deep in it in Houston,
10:35
Speaker 1: and the Browns still said we want you. And they
10:37
Speaker 1: weren't alone. There were multiple teams New Orleans and Atlanta
10:41
Speaker 1: wanted this guy. Also. The Browns actually thought they had
10:44
Speaker 1: won because they got Deshaun Watson and it has turned
10:47
Speaker 1: out into a three alarm fire burn Baby Burn with
10:52
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson as the Browns quarterback. And Watson a lot
10:56
Speaker 1: of people don't know this, but he's multi talented. He's
10:58
Speaker 1: not only a terrible quarterback, but he's all so pretty
11:00
Speaker 1: good with the sewing machine. As a Watson pulled out
11:04
Speaker 1: the sewing machine and he has stitched together a quilt.
11:09
Speaker 1: Let's hear, limited availability. He's got that on the quilt there.
11:12
Speaker 1: He's got that. He's got subpar performance to terrible performance,
11:15
Speaker 1: check check, and a lot of baggage, a lot of
11:19
Speaker 1: carry on baggage. Check check check check. So he's got
11:22
Speaker 1: all that on the quilt. He's sewing that all together there.
11:25
Speaker 1: Since joining the Browns in twenty twenty two. Watson has
11:30
Speaker 1: played just nineteen games as a starter in Cleveland over
11:35
Speaker 1: three seasons. Now they play seventeen a year. He's played
11:37
Speaker 1: nineteen total in three seasons. He had an eleven game suspension,
11:42
Speaker 1: which was a slap on the wrist the NFL looking
11:44
Speaker 1: the other way to the Congo line. How about the
11:48
Speaker 1: parade of people getting checks? You get a check, you
11:51
Speaker 1: get a check, you get a check, you get a check.
11:53
Speaker 1: Everyone got a check from Deshaun Watson. The allegations and
11:57
Speaker 1: so both twenty twenty three and last injuries ended those years.
12:02
Speaker 1: He had a shoulder injury in twenty twenty three and
12:04
Speaker 1: an achilles injury last year which is also going to
12:08
Speaker 1: take him out the next NFL season. And the actual
12:13
Speaker 1: performance when he has played, Watson has been not only
12:18
Speaker 1: a quarterback, he has been god awful with the Browns
12:21
Speaker 1: and just terrible. And so for now, the Browns what
12:24
Speaker 1: do they have. They have Kenny Pickett and that's not
12:28
Speaker 1: any good. He sucks also, and they're gonna have to
12:31
Speaker 1: bring somebody else in, Carson Wentz or someone like that.
12:35
Speaker 1: Holy crap, draft somebody, my god. All right now, last word,
12:40
Speaker 1: we pivot from Cleveland to me Minnesota. We go to Minnesota,
12:45
Speaker 1: interesting comments from the league meetings from the head coach
12:50
Speaker 1: of the Minnesota football team. I thought these were intriguing.
12:53
Speaker 1: I wanted to share them with you if you didn't
12:54
Speaker 1: see so. Kevin O'Connell is the quarterback whisper of the
13:00
Speaker 1: Minnesota football team and O'Connell regaling the scribes and the
13:06
Speaker 1: Pigskin media there with stories. He was asked about the
13:09
Speaker 1: Vikings interest in air and Rogers and what did he say?
13:15
Speaker 1: So Kevin O'Connell said, the reason that the Vikings had
13:20
Speaker 1: a little chit chat with Aaron Rodgers was it was
13:23
Speaker 1: just a unique opportunity, just a unique opportunity. It was
13:26
Speaker 1: not reflective, He indicated, I'm paraphrasing here of any kind
13:31
Speaker 1: of concern at all for the young upstart JJ McCarthy
13:38
Speaker 1: who was drafted out of Michigan last year and is
13:40
Speaker 1: supposed to be the starting quarterback and then he got
13:42
Speaker 1: hurt last year. So are you going to buy or sell?
13:47
Speaker 1: Buy or sell? Coach Kevin O'Connell saying that the interest
13:53
Speaker 1: in Aaron Rodgers having multiple conversations with Aaron Rodgers was
13:58
Speaker 1: not a knock on ja Aj McCarthy, you can buy
14:02
Speaker 1: that or sell that. So we are going to sell, sell, sell, sell,
14:09
Speaker 1: and if you buy it, you're full of hell. How
14:11
Speaker 1: about that? All right? So if you are and this
14:15
Speaker 1: is the dimension I'm in, I realized we live in
14:17
Speaker 1: the multiverse, but in my dimension as a neutral arbiter
14:21
Speaker 1: of pig skin justice. If you are completely sold on
14:26
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, If JJ McCarthy is your quarterback, and that's
14:32
Speaker 1: your guy, you take your iPhone, You pick up the
14:36
Speaker 1: iPhone and you go to the settings apps. You gotta
14:40
Speaker 1: kind of scroll the settings app. I don't know what
14:42
Speaker 1: is on your phone. It's on the front page of MyPhone.
14:44
Speaker 1: So you go to the settings app there and then
14:46
Speaker 1: you tap on a couple of things. You get to focus, okay,
14:50
Speaker 1: and then and then you click on the focus thing
14:52
Speaker 1: and that way it's do not to serve. You don't
14:55
Speaker 1: even get the call. You don't have the opportunity to
14:57
Speaker 1: talk to Aaron Rodgers because you're not you're not able
15:00
Speaker 1: to get the call. I'm sorry, I had focus on,
15:03
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I didn't receive any phone calls. That's it.
15:06
Speaker 1: Do not disturb. What do you want me to do?
15:09
Speaker 1: You shrug? Your shoulders and say that's it. But since
15:11
Speaker 1: they chatted multiple times, the Vikings and Aaron Rodgers, that
15:15
Speaker 1: is a dead way, dead way, that's right. It's a
15:20
Speaker 1: tell that Minnesota is not thoroughly convinced that JJ McCarthy
15:28
Speaker 1: is the guy. There's still some issue there now I've
15:31
Speaker 1: heard it. They think he's a little immature still, and
15:33
Speaker 1: even though he says all the right things in the media,
15:35
Speaker 1: has some stuff behind the scenes. Whether that's true or not,
15:38
Speaker 1: time will tell. But if I'm the Vikings, I would
15:40
Speaker 1: just throw him out there and play and what the hell,
15:43
Speaker 1: just go for it. You've got two stud receivers. Even
15:47
Speaker 1: if he's got a few bumps along the way. Better
15:50
Speaker 1: get that going right now rather than wait another year.
15:52
Speaker 1: What's the point in doing that. But there's definitely some
15:55
Speaker 1: kind of internal debate that has been taking place there
16:00
Speaker 1: for sure. Anyway, it is the Ben Mahler Show. If

17:58
Speaker 1: hours here chopping down the mountain of sports talk some
18:02
Speaker 1: hot Cleveland brown Talk as we suck up to our
18:05
Speaker 1: listeners in the state of Ohio, because I don't even
18:07
Speaker 1: think they really want to hear about the Cleveland Browns.
18:09
Speaker 1: But it's an interesting story. The Browns owner before getting
18:13
Speaker 1: rid of Deshaun Watson admitting they fed up, they screwed up.
18:18
Speaker 1: Bad job by them, and they will take responsibility and
18:24
Speaker 1: accountability and all that which is impossible for an owners
18:27
Speaker 1: to do. Every man, woman and child knows that to
18:29
Speaker 1: be true. Also, a remake coming up in a little bit,
18:32
Speaker 1: The Grinch that Stole Christmas, the remake edition. We will
18:36
Speaker 1: get to that coming up for you as well. But
18:38
Speaker 1: the people would like to speak a lot of people
18:40
Speaker 1: on the social media channels ranting and raving like lunatics.
18:44
Speaker 1: Our friend truck Stop Fungus checks in as we live
18:48
Speaker 1: our life through him he travels the highways and byways
18:53
Speaker 1: North America. He says he's listening to us from a
18:56
Speaker 1: truck stop outside beautiful Boise, Idaho, where it is thirty
18:59
Speaker 1: nine degrees right now with a rain falling in Boise.
19:04
Speaker 1: Says gonna eat a seven dollars piece of truck stop
19:07
Speaker 1: cheesecake and pray to God. He says that he does
19:11
Speaker 1: not get the Hershey squirts, and he sent a photo
19:14
Speaker 1: of the cheesecake. Looks like a rather generic piece of cheesecake.
19:18
Speaker 1: It looks like it was made in a big bakery
19:21
Speaker 1: somewhere and then sliced up professionally. I think it'll be okay.
19:26
Speaker 1: Not a big cheesecake person, but I've had some of
19:29
Speaker 1: the greatest meals in my life at truck stops. I've
19:32
Speaker 1: enjoyed good truck stop wood. They have generally pretty good
19:35
Speaker 1: food there in my experience. I've not been to a
19:36
Speaker 1: lot of truck stops, but the ones I've been to,
19:38

Speaker 4: never eating gas station cheesecake or anything that doesn't come
20:18
Speaker 4: from like a cheesecake factory.
20:20
Speaker 1: Yeah. Like the thing about the gas station food is
20:23
Speaker 1: the the hot dogs on the rollers that have been
20:26
Speaker 1: in there for like to trust those, I don't.
20:29
Speaker 4: I got corn dogs, Yeah, I give them baby.
20:31
Speaker 3: Yeah.
20:32
Speaker 1: Like I know people eat those all the time and
20:33
Speaker 1: they think I'm crazy, But I'm like, nah, did I
20:35
Speaker 1: go in there those things? Every time I go. There's
20:37
Speaker 1: one gas station where I used to live in Hollywood,
20:40
Speaker 1: there was this They had like an AMPM type. I
20:42
Speaker 1: guess I just plugged them, but they had the same
20:45
Speaker 1: It looked like the same two hot dogs were on
20:47
Speaker 1: those rollers every single time I came in.
20:49
Speaker 4: You know, they usually a little brown, right, they don't
20:51
Speaker 4: look as pink as.
20:52
Speaker 1: They Yeah, I wonder if those are just for display
20:55
Speaker 1: and they actually have some other real hot dogs that
20:57
Speaker 1: they serve and they just you know, maybe that's the case.
21:00
Speaker 1: I don't know. Slim Tim checks in. He says he's
21:02
Speaker 1: been dealing with medical issues. Well, I hope you feel better,
21:04
Speaker 1: Slim Tim. That's terrible. He's missed the live show lately,
21:08
Speaker 1: but he is caught up on all the podcast, Slim
21:10
Speaker 1: Tim says, and he's doing it live. Who Slim Tim
21:15
Speaker 1: is back with the live showing crowd. Cheesehead is back
21:20
Speaker 1: with us. Chris and des Moines points out the Browns
21:23
Speaker 1: owner has regrets and then the scent a funny meme.
21:27
Speaker 1: They're very nice. What else do we have, Timmy says
21:29
Speaker 1: Watson so Wing saw Wing show the ghost hunter who
21:36
Speaker 1: lives in Ohio says the Browns are just like the
21:39
Speaker 1: city of Cleveland, pathetic and a dumpster all right now,
21:42
Speaker 1: the Burner account the number one Ben Maler show. Burner
21:48
Speaker 1: says that they picked the Browns owner says they picked
21:50
Speaker 1: the wrong quarterback. While the creepy quarterback ak King Kilbasa
21:55
Speaker 1: is still on the roster. It's hilarious. I wonder what
21:58
Speaker 1: his facial expression look like. And he heard the news
22:01
Speaker 1: b plus on the Malar monologue, Benjamin Well. Watson should
22:06
Speaker 1: not be upset. And the reason he should not be
22:08
Speaker 1: upset is because money, money, money. He didn't want to
22:13
Speaker 1: play for the Browns. The Browns wanted him. He didn't
22:15
Speaker 1: want to go to the Browns. The Browns made him
22:18
Speaker 1: a godfather offer. If it was up to him, he
22:21
Speaker 1: would have been playing for Atlanta or New Orleans or
22:23
Speaker 1: something like that. But Watson, he's got two years left
22:27
Speaker 1: on the contract, and I believe he's gonna get twenty
22:31
Speaker 1: six point eight million each of the next two years.
22:34
Speaker 1: He's not gonna play this year, he won't play again
22:37
Speaker 1: for the Browns, but he's gonna make another fifty four
22:41
Speaker 1: million dollars roughly over the next two years. So hey, listen,
22:45
Speaker 1: if you want to besmirch my good name and attack
22:48
Speaker 1: my character, my price is fifty two million. I will
22:52
Speaker 1: deal with it. I will from my mansion. I will
22:55
Speaker 1: deal with it. I will stay off the social media,
22:58
Speaker 1: which I do pretty good about during the day anyway.
23:00
Speaker 1: Now I'm not on there much. I'm on there during
23:01
Speaker 1: the show, but I'm rarely on there during the day,
23:04
Speaker 1: and so i can just I can live my life
23:06
Speaker 1: and I'm fine, and that's the way you do it.
23:09
Speaker 1: But for fifty two million dollars, who else do we
23:11
Speaker 1: have Spacoli rights? In He's up Late listing again, he says,
23:15
Speaker 1: the Browns future is bright. They signed a Super Bowl
23:17
Speaker 1: winning quarterback in the offseason. They can recover from Deshaun Watson. Well,
23:23
Speaker 1: they just got more suck. They had suck and now
23:26
Speaker 1: it's a different kind of suck, but it still suck.
23:29
Speaker 1: And that's that's the thing. King Rory writes in says,
23:32
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? The Haslams are one of,
23:35
Speaker 1: if not the greatest owners of all time. Ever since
23:38
Speaker 1: they bought ownership into the Milwaukee Bucks, my favorite NBA team,
23:42
Speaker 1: the Bucks have been a juggernaut eightprofoles. Now the Haslam's
23:48
Speaker 1: ruin anything and everything they touch. Well, that has noticed.
23:52
Speaker 1: The Sadam touch, not the Mitas touched. The Mitas touch
23:55
Speaker 1: is everything you touch turns to gold. The Satam touch
23:58
Speaker 1: is everything you touch turns to the other. Poo poo. Yeah,
24:02
Speaker 1: it's not a good situation. Late night drug tester Wrights
24:04
Speaker 1: and says Deshaun Watson. Going to the Browns did have
24:08
Speaker 1: its positive results. All the flying Jay truck stops cleared
24:12
Speaker 1: all the lot lizards, so their quarterbacks wouldn't give them
24:16
Speaker 1: any bad press. When he looked up massage therapist, interesting,
24:22
Speaker 1: who else ferg dog rights in? He says, Ben. Do
24:24
Speaker 1: you still doubt the Dodgers will go one hundred and
24:27
Speaker 1: sixty two and oh? They won pretty easy again on
24:31
Speaker 1: Monday Night against the Atlanta Braves. If I was Mercury Morris,
24:35
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty nervous right now. Yes, that Dodgers will
24:40
Speaker 1: never lose a game. Now. They'll go one hundred and
24:43
Speaker 1: sixty two and oh and lose the first playoff series
24:46
Speaker 1: they play. They'll get swept in the playoff. They'll win
24:50
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two games for dog and then
24:52
Speaker 1: get knocked out right away. That's it. It's all over.

Speaker 1: Alfred who's in Edmonton and Alfred is next. Hello, Alfred, welcome.
30:16
Speaker 5: How you doing, Monsieur Bellair? Can you refresh my memory
30:22
Speaker 5: and your own words? Tell me why George Springer is
30:26
Speaker 5: a cheater?
30:27
Speaker 1: Yes, he has forever been branded with a scarlet letter
30:32
Speaker 1: because he was the World Series MVP. If I'm not
30:35
Speaker 1: mistaken for the dirtiest, most foul, most disgusting team in
30:40
Speaker 1: baseball history, the cheating a one thousand and two, one
30:46
Speaker 1: thousand holes of Houston. And he had a bunch of
30:50
Speaker 1: home runs in that World Series. And he has for
30:52
Speaker 1: the rest of his career been tarnished. Anything he does
30:55
Speaker 1: is cheap and phony. That's George F. N. Springer.
31:00
Speaker 5: Okay, the last one more crushable.
31:01
Speaker 1: Oh okay, that's all you wanted.
31:03
Speaker 5: No, just one more crushable Guerrero. How come the Blue
31:07
Speaker 5: Jays ain't signing him because he got his haircut like
31:11
Speaker 5: he should be serious. He got his haircut.
31:12
Speaker 1: Do you think that would be You think the key
31:14
Speaker 1: is the barber, go to the barber shop and then
31:16
Speaker 1: they sign you to a contract. Is that what you're saying?
31:19
Speaker 5: Well, let's you show us he's serious. You want to play.
31:21
Speaker 5: You got his hair chopped off and they're not signing him.
31:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's rude, right, you can't. It takes a while
31:26
Speaker 1: for your hair to grow back. That's not nice for
31:28
Speaker 1: them to do that.
31:28
Speaker 5: Right, Well, there you go.
31:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, thank you, thank you. Off, I'm
31:33
Speaker 1: gonna hang up on your go away all right, to
31:36
Speaker 1: a great start on the calls. And if you'd like
31:38
Speaker 1: to fix this predicament, we're in right now eight seven
31:41
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine
31:46
Speaker 1: nine six six three sixty nine. If you would like
31:49
Speaker 1: to be part of the live show, So the Grinch,
31:53
Speaker 1: that's still Christmas, that would be the NFL. So the
31:57
Speaker 1: NFL's been futching around the last couple of years these
32:00
Speaker 1: Christmas NFL games, and they sold the package of games
32:04
Speaker 1: to Netflix. Well, now they have cranked things up a
32:09
Speaker 1: couple of notches. It has been announced that the NFL
32:12
Speaker 1: will now go full guns of blazing on Christmas. In
32:17
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six year, they announced the schedule. There will
32:20
Speaker 1: be not one, not two, but three games on Christmas
32:24
Speaker 1: this coming season. Two of them will air on Netflix,
32:27
Speaker 1: a third game on Amazon Prime. I bet al Michaels
32:30
Speaker 1: is happy about that. He gets to work the Christmas holiday.
32:34
Speaker 1: But the Christmas falls on a Thursday this year, and
32:36
Speaker 1: so therefore it's within the normal NFL schedule, and so
32:41
Speaker 1: the league will go big and why not. Last year's
32:46
Speaker 1: Christmas doubleheader average twenty four million viewers on Netflix and
32:52
Speaker 1: including some over the air over the air broadcast. And
32:56
Speaker 1: so the NFL's at the point now are like, hey,
32:58
Speaker 1: they have the NBA. The NBA own Christmas. Now, the
33:04
Speaker 1: NBA is like a bug crushed on the side of
33:07
Speaker 1: the road and it's just embra and the NFL is
33:11
Speaker 1: going for more. They want more. They've already destroyed and
33:14
Speaker 1: embarrassed to masculated the NBA. The NFL is going back
33:18
Speaker 1: for more. They're like, down, down, down with the NBA.
33:22
Speaker 1: You're Scott Rude, you have no chance. All right, it
33:25
Speaker 1: is the Bean Mahler Show. So three games on the
33:29
Speaker 1: Christmas time Now for the who am I game? This
33:31
