• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Tire Buying Show be so our lead this hour is
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: from the NFL and one of the stories here there's
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a follow up follow up to a story we talked
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: about in a previous episode of the show, dateline Baltimore, Maryland.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: That's where we go next, Baltimore, Maryland. Follow up. As
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: we said, that epic choke job fifteen point lead fourth
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: quarter gone as there was bad poetry in Baltimore. So
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: if you didn't hear the follow up to this, perhaps not.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Raven's quarterback Lamar Jackson has apologized to the to the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fan that shoved his teammate then kind of
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: put hands, played touchy phey with Lamar, and then Lamar retaliated.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So we have a little taste. Here's Lamar some of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: what he had to say. Here, the Ravens quarterback speaking
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to the assembled Baltimore media, including Sports with Coleman take
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a list.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, No, I didn't try to, you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it just happened like I got push him, like what,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: But I was like outside, I wasn't even thinking about
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: me being out there on the field. But my apologies
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to that whoever that was.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know who it was. I appotaly used to him.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Like just shit, next time, just you know, you can
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: talk trash and stuff, but keep your hands to yourself.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: All right, there you go, keep your hands to yourself.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: It was a reaction. You know, somebody touches you, you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: touch them back. That's you know, somebody invades your space,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you invade them back. Now that fan, the NFL banned
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that fan, your banned band. Of course, those bands are
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: so dumb that you can there's a lot of work arounds.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You just can't buy tickets. It's an inconvenience band, is
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: what it is when you get banned from a stadium.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Although the NFL does use facial recognition, it's a police
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: state at these NFL games. If you've been to an
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: NFL game, this has been for years.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: There.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: They hire these old FBI guys and they put the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: facial recognition to go to a football game. Anyway, let
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question. Do you believe that this was
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: an organic apology by the Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. That
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: is the question. So I've gotten main character Pepsi and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Johns, and we will combine all of these things
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to make the gobbagool. We're
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: gonna make the gobbagool. Now, to lead off, this apology
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: by Lamar Jackson was as organic as Kellogg's fruit loops.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: It was that organic. And it's more likely than not,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: more likely than not, that Lamar Jackson was advised to apologize.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: He doesn't really have his people. His mom runs the show.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: The apology tour likely was inevitable, and it was arranged
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: by some pr person for the Baltimore football team, and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it came in like Vince McMahon with the headset on, screaming,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: say sorry, say sorry now. Lamart didn't wake up. I'm
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: pretty sure he did not wake up in the morning
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: this week and say, you know, goble the gee, I
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: really feel bad for that Buffalo Bill's fan that was
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: touching everybody, that slob in the red jersey. I shouldn't
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: say I'm sorry to that guy. No. Again, more likely
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: than not, he was forced into that apology. The league
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: does not want bad optics. They want those bad optics
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to go away and all that stuff, God forbid. The
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: quarterback actually stands up for himself. And it's the main
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: character syndrome goofball in the crowd that thinks it's their
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: moment to go viral. That's what a lot of this
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: stuff that's been happening recently is all about. It's all
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: about not fifteen minutes of fame. It's viral fame that
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: lasts sometimes just minutes, less than fifteen, like three or
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: four minute that's it. Occasionally get a day out of it,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you know, the fian They don't just want to watch
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the show. You want to be the show. A lot
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of these dopes and it's like the Professional Wrestling World
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: back what it was called the WWF million years ago.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: You'd have the late Great Haul Cogan in the ring,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the late Great Andrea the Giant across from him, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: some wanna be dabbroni from the stands would try to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: jump into the action, thinking they were part of the story,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and then Haul Cogan would toss them like a sack
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of potatoes or a chair. Of course, I later learned
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: as an adult that was all staged. But it's like,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, look at me. I touched DeAndre
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: hopkins helmet that Bill's fan was saying, and then Lamar
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Jackson's helmet. That's a daily double right there. And they
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: want to be in the highlight package. They want the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: quote tweets and the comments section, the win, the algorithm
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: boost and all that stuff. For a lot of us,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it's rather pathetic. But in the game right in the game.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: On about ten minutes later, another member of the Bill's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: mafia tossed a frozen I believe it was a frozen
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: water bottle if I read correctly the direction of Derek Henry.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Almost it almost got smoked or I guess iced by
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a frozen water bottle. Now a frozen water bottle could
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: actually do some damage. A frozen water bottle. It's like
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a brick so and it's not Monday Night Raw. This
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: sounds like Monday Night Raw. It's not fan participation night.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: It's keep your hands and you're junk to yourself. The
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: whole thing does. It does have that feel like wrestling again,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: like a wrestling fan being worked up into a lather
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and foaming at the mouth waiting for their queue. They're
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: not satisfied being in the cheap seats. They want to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: jump the barricade and make themselves the heel or the hero,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: like one or the other. And it's theater, except the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: guys on the field. The guys on the field aren't actors.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: They're trying to play football while dodging, in this case
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: at least one projectile, because God forbid, the player looks bad.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: When the fans of the one acting like they're at
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania three, just like, what are you doing? It's a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: bad job by you. I will point out though that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground. We have sources that may or
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: may not be related to the show, friends of the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: show in Baltimore who are pointed out that Lamar Jackson
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the apology. He did obviously apologize, but Lamar's apology some
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: details here happened when asked, I don't think anyone is
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: anything is going to happen from it. And he talked
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: about his poopy moment yesterday as well. There was that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that as well. All right, now, furthermore, we go to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Buffalo where there was an interesting comment made by the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: quarterback of the Buffalo Bills, Josh Allen. Bill's quarterback Josh Allen.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: He said this week that he has taken in a
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: protege under his wings. So who is the protege? That
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: would be none other than Patriots quarterback Drake May. Say
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: what so, Alan claims that he spent some time this
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: offseason with Drake May and that he's quote a great kid.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Bright can spin it all that blah blah blah blah
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah. Now this one
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you don't need me to spell it out for it's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: kind of clear. These are two quarterbacks that are plausibly rivals.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: They're not on the same level of their career, but
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: they are in the same division. They do, we think,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: compete against each other a couple times a year. So
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: let us discuss the question, how does Bill's quarterback Josh
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Allen essentially saying that he's a bit of a mentor,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a bit of a mentor for Patriots quarterback Drake May
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: how does that taste? So it tastes like boiled broccoli
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and it's not good, well, like something that escaped from
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: a science lab. Now, bad job by the Bills quarterback
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen, who I believe is a three hundred million
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: dollar guys got one of those three hundred million dollar contracts.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: He is the face of the Buffalo football team, supposed
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to be the alpha, the alpha wolf, the alpha wolf
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: not running a summer camp for divisional quarterbacks like the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Patriots quarterback here, it's a kin. If you were the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: CEO of PEPSI and I realized not a lot of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: people these days drink pop or soda or whatever. But
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: if you're the CEO of PEPSI teaching someone from COPE
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: who's like an intern, not an executive, but an intern,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: how do you mix your syrups? What are the ingredients
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in there? What's the mix? Well, wait, you shouldn't be
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: doing that because you don't work for our company. Your
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: arrival and then Josh Allens are, well, he's a good
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: guy and all that. Well, I would say, again, I'm
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: not a Bills fan or a Patriots fan, but this
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: is not good guye territory. It's corporate espionage, is what
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: it is. And the thing that's interesting, and these things
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: happen from time to time, is I do an overnight
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: radio show. I have a non compete clause in my contract.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I just signed a new deal with Fox Sports Radio
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: not that long ago. There's a non compete clause. There's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: all kinds of legal language that's some corporate weasel lawyer
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: put in there. So I have doing an overnight show
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a non compete clause. You're telling me that the quarterback
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that signs the three hundred million dollars contract does not
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: have a non compete clause. It just seems like a
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: terrible look. And they love to sell the competition, the illusion,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the illusion of competition, that it's all the blood, sweat, tears, rivalries,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. But things like this lead you to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: believe it's really Kabooki theater. It's what it is behind
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the scenes. It's kabuki theater. That's it. It's it's like
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Starbucks franchising. It's like every quarterback is in the same group.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: They work for Starbucks Corporate, and they go to the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: same country club. They end up patting each other on
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the back, and that boy and all that. They sip
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the same Arnold Palmers at the driving range, and that's
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: just how they roll. And so Josh Allen mentoring Drake
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: May is the sporting equivalent of McDonald saying, you know
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: that nobody's really eating at Burger King these days, why
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: don't we help burger King out And we'll work together
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and we'll have a flame broil a whopper and we'll
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: maybe we'll serve those and help burger King out. At McDonald's,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: we'll serve some whoppers. But it's not exactly the mamba
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: mentality that some of these guys love to claim, the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: mamba mentality. It's more mister Rogers neighbor. Won't you be
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: my neighbor? All right? Now, last thing, I love this story.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Then generally I try to avoid talking too much NBA
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: because I want people to listen. This is a good story. Though,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: this good story, we go where the news of the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: day takes us. We go to the NBA where half man,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: half lizard person Commissioner Adam Silver, the Great Adam Silver
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: has a message. Now he did this media event in
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the NBA headquarters, had league meetings or whatever. So they
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: got together and Adam Silver has a message to the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: fans who are concerned because in order to watch the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: NBA product, I really do not want to exaggerate this
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: because I want to be fair to the NBA, do
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: not want to be unfair. In order to properly watch
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: all the NBA games you can possibly watch, you need
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to have seventy eight streaming services. Roughly. I might be
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: low on that. I might be low on that. So anyway,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Silver has a message to those that may be concerned
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: because the economies, the raisers are not there at they
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: stiver can radio and the price of everything goes up
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So Silver said, good news for
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: those of you that are either not going to pay
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the money or can't afford to pay the money for
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: all the various streaming services the NBA has moved their
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: product to this year. Silver said, you can still watch
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: highlights for free on Instagram, TikTok, he said, Twitter, and YouTube. Yeah.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Calling the NBA a highlight sport, he said, a highlight
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: sport is how he said. He said it. So question,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: how do you categorize Adam Silver coming out and saying
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: that the NBA is a highlight based sport and if
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you cannot afford to pay for the streaming, it's okay,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: just watch the highlights. This is in my folder. I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: put this in the Epic Fail folder. I wrote down
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: epic fail. Adam said, but this is what the NBA
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: has been. Funny. One of the reasons they put a
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: war on load management, which they're still losing, is because
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: people have stopped paying attention to the regular season product.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: They don't watch the regular season like they used to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: watch it. And it's not because well, people's taste, it's
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: because the players didn't compete. They didn't give a crap.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: They they're lazy. And it's not just NBA players, it's
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: in a lot of these sports, because there's a bunch
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of nerds that came into sports and they claim to
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: be really smart. They're from ivy League schools, and well,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't really play this many games in a row.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: You could get a boo boo. And then the player's like, Okay,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I don't I get paid the same money and I
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: don't have to play, so I get paid the same
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: amount I do less work. Okay, that seems good. You're smart.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I'll do that. Why not? So the NBA has been
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: fighting that for a fair amount of time. They've been
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: fighting that, and here's Adam Silver essentially giving a concession speech.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I gotta protect the bitcoin I'm getting from the streaming service.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: He's essentially telling you you don't need to watch the games.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: The product's not worth watching. Just scroll TikTok or go
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: on Instagram and that's it. Go to the House of Highlights.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: You're in good shape. What a disaster like? Seriously, like,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: if you imagine Roger Goodell saying, don't bother watching the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: NFL on Sunday, don't We'll send out some clips online.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: That's all you need to say. No, No, you're the commissioner,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: your job plausibly is to sell that the product is good,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the food is fresh. You're gonna want to eat the food,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: not some twelve second video clip. That's not what you're
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: gonna want. You're gonna want to eat the meal. You think.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I don't go to old school. There's a guy named
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: David Stern who was a hard oh hardline old school commissioner,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the last one the NBA will have ever had. He
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: would not have tolerated this. David Stern knew right away
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: when Greg Popovich, that weasel in San Antonio, practiced load management.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: He knew right away that this was going to kill
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the sport, and he attempted to nip it in the bud.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: He was then eventually replaced by Adam Silver, and the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: disease spread throughout the product, and that's under Adam Silver,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that's on his resume. David Stern knew right away we
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: gotta stop it. So the point of this is get
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to the point, please that David Stern would have chewed
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: everyone's ass out and yelled at them for even thinking
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: that it's a good idea to recommend just watch the highlights,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: don't watch the game. Just watch the highlights, don't watch
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the game. Adam Silver must be getting marketing advice from
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the people over at Jimmy Johns, the gourmet sandwich shop,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: because every one of these Jimmy Johns I've been by,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: they have that sign in the window, the neon sign
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: that says free smells. Yeah, don't buy the sandwich. The
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: smells are free smells good. Yeah. That's like a catchy
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: marketing slogan. Or if it's the other anawg, you would
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: be like if you're Warner Brothers and you've got this
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: new blockbuster movie that's coming out for the holidays, and
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: you say, hey, listen, you can't afford to go to
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the movies because it's too expensive. Don't worry about it.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: You can't afford popcorn. It's okay, we'll just put the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: trailer on YouTube. Just watch the trailer. You're good to
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: go free. Okay, So I don't need to watch the movie.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I just need to watch the trailer. Well yeah, we're
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: saying that, Well I want what I want to watch
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: the movie, or you don't need to watch the movie.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Just watch the trailer. All the good parts are in
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the trailer. That's all you need to see. Now. We
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: all hate having like the hard sell shoved in our faces.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I would assume you're like me, and yet without like
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the whole marketing thing like it just it's like you
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: don't need it, and you know you shouldn't want it.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Just watch the highlights and all that stuff. It's it's
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: just odd to me and I'm not in there. It
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: seems like self sabotage, a sabatur adam silver. It's like
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: you make peanuts. That's the other part is I've had
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: many conversations with friends of mine that work in the
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: media business, like and this is an uncomfortable truth that
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: despite all of the popularity of social media, it is
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the wild wild West where there is so much fraud
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: going on with podcast downloads, YouTube views that at some
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: point they'll figure out how to catch that and there'll
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: be a lot of people, a lot of people that
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you'll realize think they have a big following that really
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: don't because they've been buying followers and they've been buying
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: views and likes and all that stuff. It really is
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the wild wide West. I mean, there's been some TV
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: shows that have been put on television with internet people,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: very big stars on Internet. No one watches them, and
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: it leads you to believe that it's because they don't
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: actually have that big a following. There have been some
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: people that have been very famous online music stars on
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: like TikTok. I have a lot of people that will
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: listen to their music plausibly on TikTok and then they'll
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: go out and perform and no one buys tickets because
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: it's all fake. And there's billions of dollars that are
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: being spent in that space by major American companies and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: global companies that are getting absolutely bamboozled. And here's Adam Silver, like,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: just watch the clips that don't watch the games. That's
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: even though they make their money from people watching the games.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: That's how they make them money anyway. So just do
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the clip farming. That's all you need. Okay. So the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: commissioner of the NBA just admitted the product is clip farming.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: That's the product. Okay, sounds good to me. It is
• 20:09

• 30:06

  Speaker 1: me at three in the morning let me know what
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I did wrong. I mean that's when I'm working. So anyway,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: uh so poking the Brownies, it's the Baltimore Ravens have
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: planned a thirtieth anniversary celebration before the They say they
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: planned this before the Browns were the scheduled opponent. Now,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: if you know the history of the Baltimore Ravens, they
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: are the old Cleveland Browns. So people in Cleveland are
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: so most are the up and arms and all this stuff.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: But the Ravens are celebrating their thirtieth anniversary in the
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Charm City during their but it's their home opening this weekend.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: And there's some bad blood because the Ravens were owned
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: by Art Modell and rebranded the team, and so there's
• 31:11

• 37:12
  Speaker 7: the sheets with black noise in the background.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm surprised they haven't changed that. All right,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: let's say Rick and we have we have blind Scott. Hello,

  Speaker 9: Hey, you know I'm trying to turn my life around
• 37:31

  Speaker 9: right now. I've been best friends with Ben Malla for
• 37:37
  Speaker 9: a long time. We disagree on a lot of stuff
• 37:40
  Speaker 9: very much. What is going on right now is in disagreement.
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: Get the high road because I love Ben Mallee.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. I don't know what you mean by that,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: but here we go. I think that's all we have
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: time for. Story number one Lady Gaga the middle of
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: her Mayhem Ball tour, but she's dressed up as a
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: different kind of ball. This past weekend for MTV, the
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Lady Gaga showed up on the red carpet as a
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: giant tennis ball the US Open Final. Of course, you'll
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: do anything for the Internet these days, unless she didn't.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Story number two to be like Lady Gaga, The Phillies
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Karen still hasn't been found, but a trading card company
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: has offered the woman five thousand dollars for the ball
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: she demanded that the father give to the kid, and
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: so I think five thousand probably not enough for the ball,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: and they haven't found her yet, but she's got a
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: five thousand dollar offering. Story number three, The Dynamic due
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: O Connor McGregor hasn't fought in the octagon many years.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: He's still very involved in MMA. He has a company
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: called Mixed Martial Arts Group that has focused on growing
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: the sport. And McGregor announced that Donald Trump Junior has
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: been hired as a strategic advisor. I wonder how much
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: that job pays. All right, those are the three stories.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: One of the three is not true. We'll start out
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: with you Brooks in Florida going to Mickey Mousetown. Brooks
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: won two or three Brooks three? Number three? All right, Brooks,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: hold on, we have a hollering James's in his birthday
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: suit one to or three James number okay?
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Colin who does events and he's on the iconic campus
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: or near it in Princeton. What's the answer there?
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: Colin?
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Number one?
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Number one?
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Rick and Maryland one morning time? Rick and Maryland, what's
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: the answer?
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Rick?
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Number number two? All right? And bitter blind Scott who's
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: upset with me? Oh he's oh he so he's he's up.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: He'll send some nasty emails.
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: And we don't have time to run out all the
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: stories the fake story. This week, we do have a winner.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Number one. Yes, Lady Gaga has warned some outrageous outfits
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: in her time that did not dress up as a tennant.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: It'd be tough to walk as a tennis ball, right,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: You couldn't sit down if you dressed up as a
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: tennis ball. But do you remember when Katy Perry dressed
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: up as a cheeseburger, Like, how practical could that be?
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I know, well, we love cheeseburgers and were tennis ball
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: is not so much
