- 2:07Speaker 3: very kind. I will take all suggestions. I've never been
- 2:10Speaker 3: to Vancouver, so I want to get the local flavor.
- 2:12Speaker 3: And I don't want to just go to those tourist places.
- 2:14Speaker 3: I want to go where the where the locals go,
- 2:16Speaker 3: where the natives go. I don't want to go to
- 2:18Speaker 3: some hoky tourist place. I don't know if there's a
- 2:20Speaker 3: lot of that there anyway. But our lead this hour
- 2:22Speaker 3: is from the National Football League. Things are escalating in
- 2:27Speaker 3: the land. Deshaun Watson. We have the rebuttal in the
- 2:32Speaker 3: game of he said, he said. Watson has responded the embattled,
- 2:37Speaker 3: disheveled quarterback who has been bedraggled by NFL defenses as
- 2:42Speaker 3: Shaun Watson, and he just got publicly panted by the
- 2:46Speaker 3: big boss man there in Cleveland.
- 2:48Speaker 2: You might remember a few days ago. I'll refresh your memory.
- 2:50Speaker 3: The Browns owner Jimmy Haslam gave a confessional that the
- 2:56Speaker 3: trade for Watson way back in twenty two two was
- 3:01Speaker 3: a quote big saw wing anemiss, a saw wing anemiss,
- 3:07Speaker 3: and the owner said, we thought we had the quarterback.
- 3:10Speaker 3: We didn't, Haslum declared, and we gave up a lot
- 3:15Speaker 3: of draft picks to get him. So we've got to
- 3:18Speaker 3: dig ourselves out of that hole.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Close quote.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Now the width of a quarterback has entered the chat.
- 3:26Speaker 3: And if you didn't hear what he had to say,
- 3:27Speaker 3: perhaps not.
- 3:29Speaker 2: We got you. It's our good bits for the day.
- 3:31Speaker 3: So in a video posted on the gram, Deshaun Watson said, quote,
- 3:38Speaker 3: everyone everyone is doubting me. Everyone don't believe in me. Well, okay,
- 3:45Speaker 3: rather than me, do my Deshaun Watson impersonation. We have
- 3:48Speaker 3: the audio, So let let's go to the audiwall play.
- 3:51Speaker 3: We'll see it's a long bite. Well, maybe we'll cut
- 3:53Speaker 3: it off, but here's a little taste of Deshaun Watson
- 3:55Speaker 3: Ranny tag.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Listen.
- 3:57Speaker 5: You know, the performance comes when you know your back
- 4:00Speaker 5: is against the walls. It comes better because you kind
- 4:04Speaker 5: of got to really lock in. You know, you don't
- 4:06Speaker 5: have anything pretty much to lose. And I feel like
- 4:08Speaker 5: that's why I'm at right now. You know, everyone's doubting.
- 4:10Speaker 5: They you know, everyone don't believe in me. Everyone don't
- 4:13Speaker 5: think that I can get back.
- 4:14Speaker 6: To where I was.
- 4:15Speaker 5: But I know and I believe the word that I
- 4:17Speaker 5: put in, what I believe in myself, the piece that
- 4:20Speaker 5: I've been you know, channeling these last couple of months,
- 4:24Speaker 5: I know I'm gonna be way better than before.
- 4:29Speaker 2: There you go, all right, So at the beginning he
- 4:30Speaker 2: was working out.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Let us discuss the question Deshaun Watson's returned to glory
- 4:37Speaker 3: in the NFL or the United States paying off the
- 4:41Speaker 3: national debt?
- 4:42Speaker 2: What is more likely to happen.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Watson becomes a functionally good NFL quarterback again, or the
- 4:49Speaker 3: United States pays off the national debt?
- 4:51Speaker 2: What's more likely to happen?
- 4:53Speaker 3: My thoughts on this, I've got pirates of the Caribbean
- 4:55Speaker 3: tow truck and Wayne Brady and we'll lock all all
- 5:00Speaker 3: of these things together and we're going to make a
- 5:03Speaker 3: staple of the Cleveland food scene kilbasa and cabbage. Yeah
- 5:09Speaker 3: all right, So a the scales. After a minutes long,
- 5:14Speaker 3: Mallard the ration, you say, well, the national debt is
- 5:16Speaker 3: completely out of control. You've got to go with the
- 5:18Speaker 3: Shawn Watson, the scales are leaning significantly towards the United
- 5:23Speaker 3: States national debt. And by the way, I last I checked,
- 5:26Speaker 3: it's like thirty six trillion. It's over thirty six trillion with.
- 5:29Speaker 2: A capital T.
- 5:30Speaker 3: And that is how messed up Deshaun Watson is. And
- 5:35Speaker 3: is there a bigger douche move than doing a video
- 5:39Speaker 3: while you're working out? Hey, I'm working out. Look at me,
- 5:42Speaker 3: I'm working out. Hey dude, we know you're supposed to
- 5:44Speaker 3: work out. You're getting paid a lot of money. You're
- 5:46Speaker 3: not going to play next year anyway. But Watson is
- 5:50Speaker 3: completely flummoxed by the NFL everything. Now, he said there
- 5:56Speaker 3: in some of the clip, everyone's doubting me. Everyone doesn't
- 5:59Speaker 3: believe me. There's a reason for that. You blow, DeShawn. Yeah,
- 6:05Speaker 3: you're terrible. Now only a quarterback. You suck and absolutely
- 6:10Speaker 3: riveting insight from Deshaun Watson by any measurement. By any measurement,
- 6:16Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson is empty. He is a Pirates of the
- 6:20Speaker 3: Caribbean type player. Because in every cliche of a pirate,
- 6:24Speaker 3: like black Beard, the pirate cruising around North Carolina and
- 6:29Speaker 3: South Carolina, black Beard the pirate can say Verstreet blows and.
- 6:33Speaker 2: He would be talking about Deshaun Watson spot on.
- 6:36Speaker 3: His career is a pointless endeavor in every area except one.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Financially.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Financially, at age twenty nine, he's got ninety two million
- 6:48Speaker 3: still owed to him over the next two years, ninety
- 6:51Speaker 3: two million.
- 6:52Speaker 2: He is a functionally illiterate NFL quarterback.
- 6:54Speaker 3: He can't play, he is illiterate, and in terms of
- 6:57Speaker 3: ability to get the job done, he is an albatross.
- 7:01Speaker 3: And has he not said the last two years, I'm
- 7:04Speaker 3: gonna be better next, of course you say that I'm
- 7:07Speaker 3: gonna prove the doubters wrong, just.
- 7:10Speaker 2: To put the ball on this and put a nice
- 7:12Speaker 2: little ball on it.
- 7:13Speaker 3: If the United States found let's say they found a
- 7:15Speaker 3: surplus of one trillion dollars annually, it would take thirty
- 7:22Speaker 3: six years to pay off the current United States national debt,
- 7:26Speaker 3: and I would still bet on that happening before Deshaun
- 7:29Speaker 3: Watson becomes a functional NFL quarterback. I would still bet
- 7:33Speaker 3: on that better odds. All right now, pitch you to
- 7:37Speaker 3: the NFL Draft.
- 7:39Speaker 2: We head to.
- 7:40Speaker 3: Happy Valley, where a guy named LeVar Arrington dominated back
- 7:45Speaker 3: in the day, and the player that is expected to
- 7:48Speaker 3: have a similar impact in his NFL career, abdul Carter,
- 7:52Speaker 3: projected to be a top five pick in the NFL Draft,
- 7:55Speaker 3: which is now less than two weeks away. So abdul
- 7:58Speaker 3: Carter's agent, Drew rosen House recently said that the edge
- 8:03Speaker 3: rusher from Penn State he had a medical recheck. I
- 8:08Speaker 3: know you're very excited about that. You're like, oh, I
- 8:10Speaker 3: really want to know. I'm at my job right now
- 8:12Speaker 3: and I want to hear about somebody else's medical recheck.
- 8:14Speaker 2: This was in.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Regards to that stress fracture in his foot that you
- 8:18Speaker 3: might have heard about if you're into this kind of stuff,
- 8:20Speaker 3: and according to Rosenhouse, this is going to shock you.
- 8:24Speaker 3: They're going to have to amputate the foot. No, he
- 8:26Speaker 3: didn't say that. Instead, Rosenhouse said that there was continued
- 8:30Speaker 3: improvement and surgery will not be required. Said it should
- 8:34Speaker 3: be a non factor with the teams at this point.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Close quote from Drew Rosenhouse. So question, how would you
- 8:44Speaker 3: classify abdul Carter's agent, Drew Rosenhouse saying his foot injury
- 8:50Speaker 3: should be a non factor. So I'm going to go cets,
- 8:56Speaker 3: consider the source, consider the source, and we would take
- 9:02Speaker 3: abdul Carter number one. We would take him at the
- 9:06Speaker 3: very top right. We would put him as the number
- 9:07Speaker 3: one pick in the draft based on reading these dopey
- 9:11Speaker 3: propaganda draft guides that I read every year. Now, that
- 9:15Speaker 3: being said Drew Rosenhaus, who's been around for many, many years,
- 9:21Speaker 3: I envision him around this time of the year.
- 9:24Speaker 2: He is driving the tow truck.
- 9:26Speaker 3: He's out there on the highways and the byways and
- 9:28Speaker 3: the interstate. He's driving around and he's looking for cars
- 9:32Speaker 3: that are broken down, and he's like, I'm gonna help
- 9:35Speaker 3: you out. I'm gonna pump the tires. In this case,
- 9:38Speaker 3: he found the abdul Carter car. He's like, I'm gonna
- 9:40Speaker 3: pump the tire. I'm gonna pump the tires. It's salesmanship,
- 9:43Speaker 3: it's boosting up your client. And he obviously has skin
- 9:47Speaker 3: in the game.
- 9:47Speaker 2: You know how this works.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Drew Rosenhaus stands to make or lose a fair amount
- 9:52Speaker 3: of money based on where his client ends up getting drafted.
- 9:56Speaker 3: Meaning if Abdul Carter goes to you number two, which
- 9:59Speaker 3: I it appears that's the highest he will go, Tennessee's
- 10:02Speaker 3: going to take a quarterback or trade the pick. So
- 10:05Speaker 3: more likely than not number two, he makes more money
- 10:08Speaker 3: than if you're number three or four, if you fall
- 10:10Speaker 3: down at five, six, seven, eight, whatever it is. And
- 10:13Speaker 3: so Rosenhaus is working to make sure that every piece
- 10:17Speaker 3: of the puzzle is precisely where it needs to be
- 10:22Speaker 3: before the draft. It's I go back to that word salesmanship.
- 10:26Speaker 3: I believe that's the proper word for this, and that's
- 10:28Speaker 3: what he's doing. All right now, last word, we go
- 10:31Speaker 3: down to the police blotter. The police blotter where former
- 10:36Speaker 3: Texas Longhorn wide receiver and NFL draft prospect Isaiah Bond,
- 10:43Speaker 3: not James Bond, Isaiah Bond, Well, Isaiah Bond turned himself
- 10:48Speaker 3: in on an outstanding warrant for sexual assault. Hello, this
- 10:55Speaker 3: happened Thursday morning in Frisco, Texas.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Bond.
- 11:00Speaker 3: This is where it gets interesting was released from the
- 11:04Speaker 3: Colin County jail after posting bond. He posted bail twenty
- 11:11Speaker 3: five thousand dollars bail now. In a statement posted on
- 11:15Speaker 3: social media, Bond said of the accusation, there's not a
- 11:19Speaker 3: lot of details on. I can't give you the details.
- 11:20Speaker 3: They're not out there yet. I haven't seen him anyway.
- 11:22Speaker 3: If they are out there, he said, the accusation against
- 11:25Speaker 3: him is patently false. Now, it would have been something
- 11:28Speaker 3: if you had said, yeah, I did it. He didn't
- 11:30Speaker 3: say that.
- 11:30Speaker 2: So what happens?
- 11:32Speaker 3: What happens to Isaiah Bond and his NFL draft stalk
- 11:38Speaker 3: after his arrest, Well, this is reminiscent of the current
- 11:43Speaker 3: stock market, the current Wall Street. It's a bear market.
- 11:47Speaker 3: It's highly volatile, and he's a highly volatile stock. At
- 11:51Speaker 3: this point, before this snaffoo, the wide receiver known as
- 11:56Speaker 3: Isaiah Bond, this guy was projected to be a second
- 12:01Speaker 3: round pick, second round wide receiver.
- 12:03Speaker 2: It's pretty high.
- 12:04Speaker 3: That's pretty high, man, your second round pick.
- 12:06Speaker 2: That's pretty good.
- 12:07Speaker 3: But now all bets are off. All bets are off.
- 12:11Speaker 4: Now.
- 12:11Speaker 2: I will remind you that.
- 12:12Speaker 3: When it comes to the NFL Draft and the selection process,
- 12:17Speaker 3: one of the the great quotes of all time from
- 12:21Speaker 3: the from the Draft. It actually came from a guy
- 12:23Speaker 3: that has worked for our company a couple of times
- 12:27Speaker 3: over the years. And the the draft is all about,
- 12:32Speaker 3: you know, the measurables and all that stuff, right, you
- 12:36Speaker 3: got to get the player that has the biggest, fastest,
- 12:39Speaker 3: the strongest and all that stuff. And you want to
- 12:41Speaker 3: hoard draft picks and and all that.
- 12:45Speaker 2: I bring this up because the quote. Get to the quote.
- 12:47Speaker 3: Please, So years ago at the NFL Draft and this
- 12:53Speaker 3: guy he became one of our draft consultants.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Is that the right word.
- 12:58Speaker 3: Uh?
- 12:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Anyway, we were talking about if a player had let's
- 13:04Speaker 3: just say, really had some issues off the field in
- 13:09Speaker 3: what were they do Like here's the quote. It it's
- 13:12Speaker 3: Steve Time, Steve Come. He used to be the GM
- 13:15Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals. He said, if Hannibal Lecter ran a
- 13:18Speaker 3: four point four, we'd probably diagnose it as an eating disorder.
- 13:23Speaker 3: That was the money quote. He's not wrong, So somebody
- 13:30Speaker 3: will draft him still relatively high. But what happens now,
- 13:32Speaker 3: based on years and years of these type of stories,
- 13:35Speaker 3: I would expect the people that are trying to ride
- 13:37Speaker 3: the codetails of mister Bond to advise him to go
- 13:43Speaker 3: Wayne Brady from Let's make a deal, and we'll play
- 13:47Speaker 3: let's make a deal and try to save draft value
- 13:51Speaker 3: and see if you can buy.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Your way out.
- 13:53Speaker 3: And again, we don't know what the charges are, we
- 13:54Speaker 3: don't know how bad it is, we don't know any
- 13:56Speaker 3: of that. We're just doing this blind but trying to
- 13:58Speaker 3: avoid the nose down so much like let's make a deal.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Would you prefer a mystery box with money or would
- 14:07Speaker 3: you like an envelope with some kind of magic gift
- 14:10Speaker 3: in it? And we know that worked for Deshaun Watson.
- 14:14Speaker 3: He got away with it and then you got to
- 14:16Speaker 3: slap on the wrist by the NFL and all that,
- 14:18Speaker 3: and so that's where we are on that story. It
- 14:21Speaker 3: is the Ben Mahlor Show and we are open for

- 17:11Speaker 3: you're gonna get with your tire Racked people, Ben and
- 17:14Speaker 3: find out if they can get tires for commercial drivers
- 17:16Speaker 3: like us truck drivers, since they have so many tire
- 17:19Speaker 3: options except those to my knowledge at least so truck
- 17:23Speaker 3: or Joe. I would like the find people over the
- 17:26Speaker 3: tire rackt take care of.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Truck or Joe.
- 17:29Speaker 3: And I'm all, therefore, we'll pass it on to the
- 17:32Speaker 3: people we know over tire Rack. They're good people and
- 17:35Speaker 3: we've met with them a couple of.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Times over the years.
- 17:38Speaker 3: And yeah, so we'll see what we get to the bottom.
- 17:42Speaker 3: That milkman Mike in Colorado says that doll. Is it
- 17:47Speaker 3: a blind Scott blind blind Scott getting an angry Bill doll?
- 17:52Speaker 3: No bird Dog, says tire Rack's mobile installation will even
- 17:56Speaker 3: come to my mom's house. I am sold, he says, Ah,
- 18:00Speaker 3: I am sold.
- 18:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:04Speaker 3: Gunners trying to sell the Minnesota Timberwolves as being better
- 18:08Speaker 3: than the Clippers, which is.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Which is kind of odd. Gunner.
- 18:12Speaker 3: I mean, they have this thing called the standings. I
- 18:16Speaker 3: know you probably don't care about that. Look at those
- 18:18Speaker 3: things at the Walmart there in northern Minnesota. But I'm
- 18:21Speaker 3: looking at the standings and I see Minnesota is in
- 18:25Speaker 3: the number eight spot, and I see the Clippers in
- 18:27Speaker 3: the number five spot. And you know, I know, I'm
- 18:31Speaker 3: not the smartest guy. I'm doing overnight talk radio. But
- 18:33Speaker 3: where I came from, the number five spot is higher
- 18:38Speaker 3: than the number eight spot. Therefore they have this the

- 23:55Speaker 3: was upsetting because I know I didn't say that word.
- 23:58Speaker 2: And then you know the whole thing. And here we are.

- 27:39Speaker 3: back then. I don't mean the Venice over in Europe.
- 27:42Speaker 3: I'm talking about here in the in the in La.
- 27:45Speaker 3: And he's always sounded like that he ever since. I mean,
- 27:48Speaker 3: he was really had some issues. He's always kind of
- 27:50Speaker 3: had some stuff going on. Eugene in Chicago rights and

- 28:00Speaker 3: was just trying to get the word. I was like, well,
- 28:02Speaker 3: maybe I didn't make some kind of error. And if
- 28:04Speaker 3: I made an error, I would like to know I
- 28:06Speaker 3: made the error, and then I will make sure to
- 28:08Speaker 3: not make the error again. And if you say I
- 28:11Speaker 3: make a mistake, Okay. I had a boss one time
- 28:15Speaker 3: in radio, very famous program director in my early days,
- 28:20Speaker 3: had worked all over the place, big radio stations like
- 28:22Speaker 3: WABC in New York, like back in that when that
- 28:25Speaker 3: was a king radio station. And this guy told me
- 28:27Speaker 3: so listen. He says, if you ever want to get engagement,
- 28:31Speaker 3: make a mistake intentionally, because there's nothing the talk radio
- 28:35Speaker 3: listener loves more than to correct the person who's chewing
- 28:39Speaker 3: their mouth on the air and talking.
- 28:41Speaker 2: They love it.
- 28:42Speaker 3: They cannot wait to correct the person who's on the radio.
- 28:47Speaker 3: They love it so much so every once in a while,
- 28:51Speaker 3: and this used to upset Eddie the Great Eddie Garcia
- 28:54Speaker 3: when he worked here. And I told him, I said,
- 28:56Speaker 3: every once in a while, I could do a perfect show,
- 28:58Speaker 3: but I like to make a little bit of a mistake,
- 29:00Speaker 3: just to make sure you're listening, you're paying attention and
- 29:02Speaker 3: all that stuff.

- 29:26Speaker 4: Hey, I need you to I need you to give
- 29:28Speaker 4: me a harbager of something I think could possibly happen.
- 29:33Speaker 4: What's the harbinger that the alcoholic slash drunk Pat mac
- 29:38Speaker 4: a drunk had to pay a whole lot of money
- 29:42Speaker 4: to the young girl he was. He was like slandering
- 29:46Speaker 4: about some story he made up about her it's not true,
- 29:50Speaker 4: and sort of like leve her like kind of you know, despondent.
- 29:56Speaker 4: How about you?
- 29:57Speaker 3: Well, first of all, first of all, hold on, take
- 30:00Speaker 3: a breath through him A.
- 30:01Speaker 2: I don't know all that.
- 30:01Speaker 3: I don't know all the details of the story. I
- 30:03Speaker 3: have read a little bit about it. Okay, I have
- 30:06Speaker 3: read a little bit about it. And he was repeating
- 30:09Speaker 3: Internet rumors that were unvalidated Internet rumors apparently according to
- 30:14Speaker 3: what I read as I as I understand the story,
- 30:17Speaker 3: Normally what happens in these cases is there'll be some
- 30:19Speaker 3: kind of settlement or something like that. You'll never find
- 30:22Speaker 3: out what happens, as usually it happened.
- 30:25Speaker 4: So what's the big deal about him? Man, he's got
- 30:29Speaker 4: an eighty five million dollar contract and he has no
- 30:33Speaker 4: talent none. Why are you?
- 30:36Speaker 3: Why are you asking me? I don't decide who gets
- 30:40Speaker 3: a lot of money and who doesn't. Obviously I'm not
- 30:42Speaker 3: making a lot of money if I if I decided that,
- 30:44Speaker 3: I'd have eighty five million dollars.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Like why you asking me a question like that? Seriously?
- 30:49Speaker 2: Like what is what is in your head?
- 30:50Speaker 3: You're calling me up on a Nickel and Dime overnight
- 30:53Speaker 3: show and asking me why does a guy get eighty
- 30:55Speaker 3: five million? If I knew the answer to that, I'd
- 30:57Speaker 3: be getting eighty five million dollars.
- 31:00Speaker 4: This is not a Nickels Dime show. This is a
- 31:02Speaker 4: top shelf show because you get to pleasure. You're talking
- 31:05Speaker 4: to me, and I always.
- 31:06Speaker 3: Talking, Yes, I always.
- 31:09Speaker 2: I was telling. I was telling my wife the other way.
- 31:11Speaker 3: You know, I told my wife said, you know, we
- 31:13Speaker 3: don't make a ton of money doing this, and the
- 31:15Speaker 3: hours of you're tough. You know, it's it's bad on
- 31:17Speaker 3: your body to work overnight. But I get to talk
- 31:19Speaker 3: to Jerome and Charleston and it's worth it because of
- 31:22Speaker 3: Jerome and Charleston.
- 31:23Speaker 4: Yes, but you know what the best part is, you
- 31:25Speaker 4: don't have to pay me like those other guys pay
- 31:27Speaker 4: people to come on as a kid like their their
- 31:30Speaker 4: friends for.
- 31:32Speaker 3: Yeah, that is true. We don't have there's no budget. Yeah,
- 31:36Speaker 3: well no you did. You didn't pay for the We
- 31:38Speaker 3: paid for the call. It's a TOTLL free number.
- 31:41Speaker 4: Well, hey, that's not what my pall company says.
- 31:45Speaker 3: Well, it's not the nineteen eighties anymore nineties. You're not
- 31:49Speaker 3: paying per minute, right, you have a plan, you have
- 31:51Speaker 3: to pay a fee every month, and then you have
- 31:54Speaker 3: unlimited calls. That's it's, am I mistaken you. You have
- 31:57Speaker 3: to pay by minute.
- 32:04Speaker 4: By the way, his draft thoughts just went down because
- 32:08Speaker 4: I heard I read what he's being accused of. Bad
- 32:12Speaker 4: news whenever bad news.
- 32:16Speaker 3: Well you you don't know if he did it, number one,
- 32:21Speaker 3: but it's well, it's it's bad news from the standpoint,
- 32:27Speaker 3: even if you didn't do it. People only pay attention
- 32:30Speaker 3: to the original story, and if the story turned out
- 32:32Speaker 3: to be false, they don't hear that part of it.
- 32:34Speaker 3: That's just how it works that people pay attention to
- 32:36Speaker 3: the activation. They don't see what unless you're convicted, they
- 32:39Speaker 3: don't see what happens. So all right, I gotta I
- 32:41Speaker 3: gotta go, Jerome. Okay, I'm so happy this made my
- 32:44Speaker 3: entire night. I get to talk to you, Jerome, and
- 32:46Speaker 3: here you complain about other highly paid people.

- 33:01Speaker 3: and I want to get in trouble, so I can't
- 33:02Speaker 3: push for the clock, and so therefore we'll push back
- 33:04Speaker 3: the doll story. I hope you understand. You're shaking your head. Yes,
- 33:07Speaker 3: you do understand, all right, but very good. It's worth

- 35:51Speaker 3: Grill Sergeant.
- 35:52Speaker 2: There's a good name.
- 35:53Speaker 3: Wilt the Stilt from Johnny gub Peewee Herman from c LG.
- 35:59Speaker 3: Mark in Santa Monica is going with Tarzan as his answer.
- 36:06Speaker 3: Fargo Pete says, I think that what Bill meant was
- 36:08Speaker 3: he just finished a bottle of Bellinger is what he meant?
- 36:12Speaker 2: Who else do we have?
- 36:13Speaker 3: The Specialist going with Tom Behringer from Major.
- 36:15Speaker 2: League as the answer. All right, what else do we have?
- 36:19Speaker 3: Page Dad alf the Alien Opiners says he's got a
- 36:22Speaker 3: fun fact for later. Fletcher Christian from William all right, now,
- 36:27Speaker 3: the correct answer blank is the NBA player of the
- 36:30Speaker 3: highest plus minus since the All Star Game at plus
- 36:32Speaker 3: two thirty one. That would be none other than Ivaka Zubats,
- 36:37Speaker 3: the great Zubox of the people's team, the Clippers. That's right,
- 36:41Speaker 3: a Clipper and they have not lost in April. They
- 36:44Speaker 3: are on on a on a nice roll, not momentum,
- 36:47Speaker 3: but they're playing very well.
- 36:48Speaker 2: Here we go, how about that.
- 36:52Speaker 7: To the third degree? This is one big Ben gets quilled.
- 36:58Speaker 3: And now we bring in the arbiture of malarly third degree.
- 37:05Speaker 1: Bryce Young had a pretty terrible start to his NFL career,
- 37:07Speaker 1: but had a bit of a breakout towards the end
- 37:10Speaker 1: of last season. When asked about it recently, Young said
- 37:12Speaker 1: that it doesn't carry over year after year and it'll
- 37:16Speaker 1: all reset year by year. Ben, do you expect the
- 37:20Speaker 1: success to continue for Young?
- 37:23Speaker 2: No, Well, in terms of him.
- 37:25Speaker 3: Being a top ten quarterback, which he was for a
- 37:28Speaker 3: stretch last year, I do not. He was the beneficiary
- 37:32Speaker 3: of the blessing of low expectations. Number one. He was
- 37:35Speaker 3: so bad we had all reaten his eulogy as an
- 37:39Speaker 3: NFL player, so the bar was not very high. Well,
- 37:42Speaker 3: now there are some expectations, so and it does not
- 37:46Speaker 3: carry over and all that.
- 37:47Speaker 2: He is correct on that, So you have to do
- 37:49Speaker 2: it again.
- 37:49Speaker 3: You have to prove that that was not some kind
- 37:51Speaker 3: of mirage the success that he had. And it's much
- 37:56Speaker 3: difficult to do that, much more difficult to do that
- 37:58Speaker 3: the entire season for a couple of games, to throw
- 38:01Speaker 3: in three or four games here and again, I'm not optimistic.
- 38:05Speaker 3: I think he'll settle into being an average NFL quarterback.
- 38:08Speaker 3: I don't expect him to be much better than that,
- 38:09Speaker 3: but we'll find out next TJ.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Watt is looking for a contract extension from the Steelers
- 38:14Speaker 1: as he enters the last year of his contract. On
- 38:16Speaker 1: Instagram Wednesday, Watt posted a picture of himself throwing up
- 38:19Speaker 1: a peace sign. Now, this led many to believe that
- 38:22Speaker 1: Watt was saying peace out to Pittsburgh. Ben, do you
- 38:25Speaker 1: think this photo was something or nothing?
- 38:28Speaker 4: Well?
- 38:28Speaker 3: I do like the visual reaction, the visceral reaction. Excuse me,
- 38:32Speaker 3: I don't want Bill from Venice to call up and
- 38:34Speaker 3: correct me the visceral reaction. But no, listen, social media
- 38:37Speaker 3: gives you this warped sense of reality. It is a
- 38:40Speaker 3: standard tool that is used by the disgruntled professional athlete
- 38:45Speaker 3: you try to weaponize. It is absolutely something he is
- 38:48Speaker 3: trying to weaponize. He's trying to scare the Steeler fan base,
- 38:51Speaker 3: so they rally and put pressure on the team to
- 38:53Speaker 3: pay him more money. It's absolutely I know what he's doing.
- 38:56Speaker 2: We've seen it many many times. Will it work?
- 38:58Speaker 3: The Steelers are pretty buttoned up, conservative organization, and TJ.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Watt realizes that his age, he's only got a couple
- 39:04Speaker 3: of years really this year and won more to make
- 39:06Speaker 3: that big money next.
- 39:08Speaker 1: Saints defensive end Cam Jordan said recently that winning the
- 39:11Speaker 1: NFC South is definitely obtainable. You went on to point
- 39:14Speaker 1: out that while the Bucks may have won the division
- 39:15Speaker 1: the last three or four years, they haven't exactly been
- 39:17Speaker 1: running away with it. Ben, do you think it's obtainable
- 39:20Speaker 1: for the Saints?
- 39:21Speaker 3: So obtainable? What a great way to sell optimism. It's obtainable,
- 39:26Speaker 3: we might win the division.
- 39:28Speaker 2: No, here's the problem. They have a soft underbelly.
- 39:30Speaker 3: The soft underbelly, the kryptonite is Derek Carr and as
- 39:33Speaker 3: far as I know, he's going to be back, he
- 39:34Speaker 3: blows they ain't winning the division.
- 39:36Speaker 2: How did we do you pass?
- 39:38Speaker 3: This edition?
- 39:38Speaker 2: That is I won?
- 39:40Speaker 3: Take that Bill and Venice and your crummy call.
- 39:43Speaker 2: I won
