1:22

Speaker 1: the Stump speech on the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as

Speaker 1: approved by Glenn Evelwood on social media, not his real name.
1:37
Speaker 1: Apparently shares a birthday with some gas bag that works here,
1:41

Speaker 1: bunch of cash or anything like that. No, they'll hope
2:10
Speaker 1: you get a job and you don't have to worry
2:11
Speaker 1: about That's the that sounds good, So Expresspros dot Com
2:14
Speaker 1: our lead this hour, though from Jerry's world, we are
2:18
Speaker 1: contractually obligated not to go more than a couple of
2:20
Speaker 1: monologues without mentioning America's team, the Dallas Cowboys that have
2:25
Speaker 1: not tasted a championship in a generation and a half,
2:30
Speaker 1: yet continue to get Baffosako television rating so deep in
2:34
Speaker 1: the heart of Texas. Now I read a recent report
2:38
Speaker 1: that claimed the Dallas Cowboys, for better or worse, are
2:43
Speaker 1: locked in on the Dak attack, that they are hog
2:46
Speaker 1: tied to Dak Prescott. So if you didn't see this,
2:50
Speaker 1: or maybe you missed it pro Football Talk, which I
2:54
Speaker 1: guess is still around, they claim that Dak Prescott is
2:58
Speaker 1: not in any danger of losing the Cowboy job at
3:03
Speaker 1: quarterback in twenty twenty six. Forget about twenty twenty five.
3:07
Speaker 1: He's obviously locked in. But in twenty twenty six, their
3:10
Speaker 1: claim is because he's got a sixty million dollars per
3:15
Speaker 1: year contract that would wreck havoc. Where have we heard
3:18
Speaker 1: this before? It would wreck havoc on the salary cap.
3:21
Speaker 1: And if the Cowboys were to cut Dak Prescott or
3:25
Speaker 1: to trade Dakota Prescott, you see he has a no
3:29
Speaker 1: trade coass he can weigh that in twenty twenty six,
3:33
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. They are up poop Creek without any
3:37
Speaker 1: toilet paper. They've got problems now. The complication is that
3:43
Speaker 1: the Cowboys the reason they haven't gotten any real quarterback now,
3:47
Speaker 1: and they duca floor on the guard from the Patriots
3:49
Speaker 1: Al right, But that's just a flyer situation. They didn't
3:53
Speaker 1: draft someone they're grooming to replace Dak Prescott, and so
3:58
Speaker 1: the Cowboys Scott has a forty five million dollar salary
4:02
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven. That this is a complication that
4:05
Speaker 1: we are told based on the nerds that have crunched
4:08
Speaker 1: the numbers fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the
4:12
Speaker 1: league year twenty twenty six. So essentially they're stuck. That's
4:19
Speaker 1: what the report says. They are stuck, the Cowboys, all
4:23
Speaker 1: because they fetched around. They waited too long to give
4:28
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott a second contract and then a third contract,
4:32
Speaker 1: and so now they're fed. They are porked. So let
4:36
Speaker 1: us discuss the question buy or sell? Buy or sell
4:40
Speaker 1: the Cowboys being handcuffed to Dak Prescott because of his
4:45
Speaker 1: massive contract. So I've got unicorns, Gi Joe, and party foul,
4:55
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
4:59
Speaker 1: we are gonna make a classic the Baba Ganoosh. We're
5:03
Speaker 1: gonna get the eggplant. We're gonna make the Baba googe.
5:06
Speaker 1: Not to lead off here to answer the question by
5:08
Speaker 1: or sell, I am selling. I am selling this with
5:13
Speaker 1: a capitalist. I'm selling the idea that the cowboys are
5:17
Speaker 1: handcuffed to Dak Prescott. The issue here is more. It's
5:20
Speaker 1: not about the money. It's about the bromance that Jerry
5:25
Speaker 1: Jones has with Dak Prescott. That is a bigger speed
5:29
Speaker 1: bump than it is Dak Prescott. Financially, you can always
5:33
Speaker 1: work out the finances, You can always work out the
5:36
Speaker 1: mat The whole salarycap nonsense. The NFL loves to feed
5:39
Speaker 1: us doom and gloom. This player can't be traded, that
5:43
Speaker 1: player can't be released because of the salarycap. It's a
5:47
Speaker 1: fugazy fugazi whatever, right, wayzy woozy, remember that line from
5:52
Speaker 1: the movie. It's all those things right, It's it's a scheme.
5:56
Speaker 1: It's whatever suits the narrative you go with, and you
6:00
Speaker 1: want people to think that you're stuck. Oh, the drama,
6:04
Speaker 1: the mathematical drama, the algebra because of a bad contract
6:09
Speaker 1: like Dak Prescott two hundred and forty million dollars. It
6:11
Speaker 1: isn't albatross, Oh my god, an albatross. So you hear
6:17
Speaker 1: the talking heads and they whine and they belly ache
6:22
Speaker 1: and they moan as all the cowboys are handcuffed to
6:25
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. They say they're trapped. It's a trap, And
6:30
Speaker 1: to that, I say, baloony, baloney. I'm not gonna get burned,
6:35
Speaker 1: and you shouldn't get burned either. You shouldn't get burned.
6:38
Speaker 1: The salary cap is as real as unicorns. And I'll
6:41
Speaker 1: tell you right now, if you know where unicorns are
6:44
Speaker 1: and you have some, you'll make a fortune because they're
6:48
Speaker 1: not real. But there's real as unicorns a salary cap.
6:51
Speaker 1: But Dallas, they can kick Dak Prescott and punt him.
6:57
Speaker 1: They can punt him over the border McCallum, Texas and
7:01
Speaker 1: cross the Rio Grand over to Mexico if they want.
7:05
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Remember the Broncos when they had this
7:07
Speaker 1: turd named Russell Wilson. Oh man, they're so stuck with Russ.
7:14
Speaker 1: They can't get it rid of Russ's contract. Well, they
7:16
Speaker 1: ended up getting rid of Russell Wilson faster than Russ
7:20
Speaker 1: could say, let's ride Bronco country, and he got just
7:23
Speaker 1: got rid of him. Dak Prescott was a quarterback that
7:27
Speaker 1: the Cowboys played well in the regular season right for
7:31
Speaker 1: a couple of seasons, play well in the regular season
7:33
Speaker 1: and all that, and I would still put him in
7:36
Speaker 1: the average category. Listen, I'm a Dak Prescott hater. I
7:39
Speaker 1: have a card that says I'm a Dak Prescott hater.
7:42
Speaker 1: He's in that good regular season player, not great, nowhere
7:47
Speaker 1: near worth the pedestal he's placed on because of the
7:49
Speaker 1: uniform that he wears. Now the Dak Prescott loyalists, and
7:53
Speaker 1: every time I bring Dak's name up, I always get
7:55
Speaker 1: the messages from the Dak Prescott Marching and Chowder Society.
8:00
Speaker 1: And so the loyals Dak will say, well, you know,
8:02
Speaker 1: mal Or, you're just a hater. That's why you're on overnights,
8:05
Speaker 1: and they'll tad out, they'll trot out rather his regular
8:08
Speaker 1: season stats and say, well, look at the numbers he
8:10
Speaker 1: put up in Week six against the Giants. And then
8:13
Speaker 1: I'll write back, I said, well, the Giants blow, so
8:16
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's a divisional game, and Duk played well.
8:19
Speaker 1: And then the other thing is they say, well, Dak's
8:21
Speaker 1: a leader, he's a leader of men, and I was
8:25
Speaker 1: right back, well how do you measure that? Like, where's
8:27
Speaker 1: the where's the measurement on that? And he says the
8:30
Speaker 1: right things. Okay, if you like robots, Ai says the
8:36
Speaker 1: right things. Also, you want AI to run everything, maybe
8:38
Speaker 1: it will. And so it's like Dak's Dax's in charge,
8:43
Speaker 1: He's in charge of the Huddel, He's in charge of
8:45
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. He's got that Megal Watts smile man, he's
8:49
Speaker 1: got that, and the teammates rally around him. Okay, And
8:55
Speaker 1: even if that's true, even if I say, okay, he's
8:57
Speaker 1: a leader, which is that it's something is subjective, right,
9:01
Speaker 1: Leadership is subjective. Some people just lead it.
9:04
Speaker 3: Well.
9:05
Speaker 1: I know from being around sports teams in the past
9:07
Speaker 1: when I was early in my career and locker rooms
9:09
Speaker 1: a lot, there are some people that were thought of
9:12
Speaker 1: as leaders that other people on the team said did
9:14
Speaker 1: that for the camera and that behind closed doors they
9:18
Speaker 1: were phony that when the cameras were around, they were
9:21
Speaker 1: Like Russell Wilson's a great example. I brought his name.
9:24
Speaker 1: He's a phony eater like Russ When the cameras are around,
9:27
Speaker 1: we'll say something. But in the locker room people just
9:29
Speaker 1: think of him as a geek and a nerd and
9:31
Speaker 1: just a dufus, just a total dufus. So back to
9:35
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. So the issue with that, and there's only
9:39
Speaker 1: one way to fix this is to play better when
9:42
Speaker 1: the lights are the brightest. For Dak Prescott, right when
9:45
Speaker 1: the moment's the biggest, he goes limp. Now, we do
9:49
Speaker 1: do commercials on the overnight, and there's a product, there's
9:51
Speaker 1: a pill you can get for that. But it is
9:53
Speaker 1: a problem. He's got all the tools, but he's no craftsman.
9:57
Speaker 1: He's not a craftsman. And it's two five record in
10:02
Speaker 1: the playoffs playoffs, and that is glaring like a neon sign.
10:09
Speaker 1: And even the numbers that Dak has put up, their
10:12
Speaker 1: phony bullomny numbers because like he'll in garbage time. Remember
10:17
Speaker 1: that the last playoff game I believe he started was
10:20
Speaker 1: against the Green Bay Packers in Dallas. And how many
10:24
Speaker 1: turnovers did he have in the first quarter, just giving
10:26
Speaker 1: the game to Green Bay? And then by the and
10:28
Speaker 1: he threw some touchdowns in the second half. Game was
10:30
Speaker 1: over by halftime. But yet, well the numbers don't look
10:35
Speaker 1: all that bad all right. Now, moving on from that,
10:38
Speaker 1: we turned the page to Washington, d C. Interesting story
10:43
Speaker 1: bouncing around here the last couple of days out of
10:45
Speaker 1: the Beltway. President Trump, calm down, I know some of
10:50
Speaker 1: you your blood pressure is going through their of comdown.
10:53
Speaker 1: So President Trump said recently that he would support changing
10:59
Speaker 1: the Washington commander's nickname back to the name they had
11:03
Speaker 1: for all those years, the Redskins. And now he did
11:07
Speaker 1: also point out, President Trump that if the commanders actually
11:13
Speaker 1: turned out to be a good team and win, that
11:18
Speaker 1: he could get on board with the current current name.
11:22
Speaker 1: So he tossed that out. So the Redskins moniker that
11:26
Speaker 1: was dropped during the absolute lunacy that I mean, you
11:30
Speaker 1: talk about looney tones twenty twenty. Can we all agree
11:34
Speaker 1: that was just a wacky year. We were all we
11:38
Speaker 1: were all forced to stay away from each other, and
11:41
Speaker 1: the people were some people were allowed to go out
11:43
Speaker 1: and burn down cities. It was a wild year twenty twenty.
11:47
Speaker 1: That's been five years. We moved on, but during that time,
11:49
Speaker 1: when few people were paying attention, they announced they were
11:53
Speaker 1: changing the name. So a question how much weight, how
11:59
Speaker 1: much weight does Donald trump endorsement of the Redskins nickname have?
12:04
Speaker 1: So the first thought is the obvious one, Well, that's
12:06
Speaker 1: the highest office one can have, right, President of the
12:08
Speaker 1: United States and all that stuff, So it's kind of
12:10
Speaker 1: a big deal despite that, and this is gonna upset
12:13
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of people. It's not an
12:17
Speaker 1: unpopular opinion by Donald Trump because the Washington Redskins checked out.
12:24
Speaker 1: The Commanders have done service. When they changed ownership, Dan
12:27
Speaker 1: Snyder was forced to sell a team, so they sold
12:30
Speaker 1: the team. They did market research, and I have several
12:34
Speaker 1: sources that have told me that they asked season ticket
12:40
Speaker 1: holders what name would you like? And the first they
12:43
Speaker 1: asked a series of questions did they asked it was
12:45
Speaker 1: market research? Do you like the nickname command? No, we
12:48
Speaker 1: don't like the nickname command? What name would you like?
12:52
Speaker 1: And then they had a list of options, and then
12:55
Speaker 1: on some of the surveys, as I understand it, they
12:56
Speaker 1: had fill in the blank. Most most responses they got
13:02
Speaker 1: for any one name was the Redskins name. That people
13:05
Speaker 1: wanted that name back. The people that actually, you know,
13:07
Speaker 1: buy tickets and watch the dem wanted the nickname Redskins
13:11
Speaker 1: back and any So it's not because you know, Trump's
13:15
Speaker 1: president or whatever that and that these are people that
13:18
Speaker 1: of all political backgrounds who were saying that and uh, listen,
13:22
Speaker 1: he's very bombastic and all that stuff. But a lot
13:25
Speaker 1: of people, a lot of people when they watch the Commanders,
13:29
Speaker 1: they like, what is that what it's just, you know,
13:32
Speaker 1: the helmet, the whole thing, the commander's nickname and the
13:36
Speaker 1: uniform combination has the same sparkle as a wet sack
13:43
Speaker 1: you ever put wet sox on. It's not very enjoyable.
13:46
Speaker 1: And it sounds the commander's nickname, doesn't it sound like
13:49
Speaker 1: a knockoff, ripoff version of a G. I. Joe villain,
13:53
Speaker 1: not Commanders. Sounds bogus. It's the kind of a name
13:58
Speaker 1: that you get in corporate America when you put a
14:02
Speaker 1: blue ribbon panel together of lawyers, marketing people, people that
14:09
Speaker 1: wear bright colored glasses and have never watched the football.
14:13
Speaker 1: They couldn't tell you whether a football's stuffed or puffed.
14:17
Speaker 1: They don't know, they have no idea. And those are
14:21
Speaker 1: the people that we don't want to offend anyone. So
14:24
Speaker 1: let's call it the Commanders. Ah yes, And then they
14:28
Speaker 1: end up offending everyone who thinks that's just a dumb
14:30
Speaker 1: name and its stupid and all stuff. So now it
14:33
Speaker 1: is a launch. I will admit it is a long
14:34
Speaker 1: shot that they ever bring back the Redskins name, despite
14:39
Speaker 1: the people banging on the table for the name to
14:41
Speaker 1: come back. But can we at least admit, can we
14:44
Speaker 1: find common ground that the commander's nickname there she blows,
14:50
Speaker 1: as the Pirates like to say, I mean, at least
14:54
Speaker 1: admit that. It feels like it was cooked off by
14:58
Speaker 1: some focus group, as we said, right, and they just
15:01
Speaker 1: left it in the microwave, like ninety seconds too long.
15:05
Speaker 1: Ninety seconds too long in the microwave. All right. Now,
15:08
Speaker 1: last thing to cansa City, the team that played about
15:15
Speaker 1: as bad as you can play in the biggest game
15:17
Speaker 1: last year, the Super Bowl, Hue this year. Back in February, well,
15:21
Speaker 1: the Chiefs social media post went viral. Recently, they had
15:27
Speaker 1: a post and in the post rather benign, but even
15:31
Speaker 1: benign things go viral in the matrix. So they had
15:35
Speaker 1: a post quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the guy with the big arm,
15:41
Speaker 1: the trophies, all that the new Tom Brady and all
15:46
Speaker 1: the champions was. So they had it post and in
15:49
Speaker 1: the post he has decided it will you know what
15:52
Speaker 1: you what do you do in the off season? What
15:54
Speaker 1: do you what's your nickname? So Mahomes on that post
16:00
Speaker 1: said his preferred nickname is Showtime. Yeah, Showtime. So are
16:08
Speaker 1: you okay with that? Well, people are not okay with
16:10
Speaker 1: that now, I'm answering the question. I'm not really okay
16:13
Speaker 1: with it either.
16:14
Speaker 4: Now.
16:15
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit up all day because I sleep
16:17
Speaker 1: during the day. I'm not gonna sit up all day
16:18
Speaker 1: and be worried about it. But I have said for
16:21
Speaker 1: a long time, just like when Kobe Bryant years ago
16:23
Speaker 1: nicknames himself the Black Mamba, the same rules apply to
16:27
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. This is not how that works. It's not
16:32
Speaker 1: how any of that works. Every man, woman and child
16:36
Speaker 1: knows the nickname is not something that you just cook
16:41
Speaker 1: up on your own. You don't do it. You don't
16:44
Speaker 1: do it. You don't get to pick your own nickname. Sorry,
16:46
Speaker 1: not sorry, you don't do it. Party foul. That is
16:49
Speaker 1: a party foul by Patrick Mahomes. It is throw the
16:54
Speaker 1: yellow flag. There's a flag on the play, fifteen yard penalty,
16:58
Speaker 1: loss of down. Down, at least in the court of
17:01
Speaker 1: public opinion, and not just the way listen, nicknames are earned,
17:06
Speaker 1: but they're also given to you. They're also given to you,
17:10
Speaker 1: and they're forged through the pulse of the people, public perception,
17:16
Speaker 1: and they're handed down by the fan and by the
17:20
Speaker 1: haters and the gas bags on radio and podcasts and
17:24
Speaker 1: bloggers with hangovers and all of those people. So you
17:29
Speaker 1: don't get to stroll into the nickname kingdom and say, oh,
17:33
Speaker 1: here's my nickname. I like Showtime, call me Showtime. No, No,
17:39
Speaker 1: nicknames are like they're kind of like tattoos. You don't
17:43
Speaker 1: give yourself a tattoo unless you're a crazy person. You
17:46
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You can get a tattoo, but
17:49
Speaker 1: you have someone give you the tattoo. You don't sit
17:51
Speaker 1: there and say I'm gonna give myself my own tattoo.
17:55
Speaker 1: Nobody with common sense does that, right, And if you do,
17:59
Speaker 1: everyone kind of I guess maybe in prison they do that.
18:01
Speaker 1: But even then, even then, you know, people wind your back.
18:05
Speaker 1: But what's wrong with that guy? That's an ugly tattoo.
18:07
Speaker 1: He must have done it himself. So if you're of
18:11
Speaker 1: a certain age, when you hear the name Showtime, that's
18:15
Speaker 1: already taken. That's Magic Johnson in the nineteen eighties, Lakers
18:19
Speaker 1: and pretty much all of the other nicknames Mahomes has,
18:23
Speaker 1: and he's got a bunch they're already taken by other people,
18:28
Speaker 1: or they're lame, like the only one he said, well
18:31
Speaker 1: maybe that's okay is mahome boy. He said, well, I
18:37
Speaker 1: can kind of work with that. Sounds like the name
18:40
Speaker 1: you'd put on a funk go pop though, don't. I mean,
18:43
Speaker 1: but you kind of go with that, And so I
18:45
Speaker 1: would say go back to the drawing board. That's what
18:48
Speaker 1: I would say. All right, It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
18:52
Speaker 1: If you would like to comment on any of this,
18:54
Speaker 1: you are more than welcome to join us at eight seven,

Speaker 1: this hour site the bite right now thought back to it,
21:25
Speaker 1: Hey back till we go and your witty commentary after
21:31
Speaker 1: the top of the hour. Mallor monologue. Let's see here,
21:36
Speaker 1: Milkman Mike says, I do respect the time you're putting
21:39
Speaker 1: those monologues. I have to disagree with the tattoo analogy.
21:42
Speaker 1: You may not do the artist part of the application.
21:45
Speaker 1: It is ultimately your choice as to what the artist
21:48
Speaker 1: puts on. Now, the point Milkman Mike was, you're not
21:52
Speaker 1: sitting there and you're giving you with the pen and
21:55
Speaker 1: you're giving yourself the tattoo. That was my point. It's
21:58
Speaker 1: not telling you. Obviously, you get a pick whether you
22:00
Speaker 1: give yourself the tattoo or you have someone else do
22:03
Speaker 1: the tattoo. You're the one choosing what's on there unless
22:06
Speaker 1: you're forced. There's analogy I can use, but I will
22:10
Speaker 1: not use that. But anyway, Jeremy writes in and says,
22:15
Speaker 1: so Trump knows about the Redskins, which I'm surprised he does. Racist,
22:21
Speaker 1: and then he takes a shot at Trump. What else
22:24
Speaker 1: do we have? Let's see page down. I can't read that.
22:28
Speaker 1: Jose says, Hey, Ben, the Astros Championship is just as
22:32
Speaker 1: worthy as the Mickey Mouse Dodgers Championship. No, Jose, clearly
22:38
Speaker 1: you're a little slow this morning. The Dodgers Championship the
22:42
Speaker 1: hardest championship in baseball history. In twenty twenty. Baseball is
22:47
Speaker 1: designed for one hundred and sixty two games. La la
22:51
Speaker 1: la la la la la la la la la le
22:54
Speaker 1: futs around. You play terribly in May. Who cares? Because
22:57
Speaker 1: you got June and July make it up. And in
23:02
Speaker 1: that season it was a sprint. It was not a marathon.
23:06
Speaker 1: It was a sprint. And it was the hardest championship
23:10
Speaker 1: in baseball history. Uh, the sport was fundamentally different. All
23:14

25:35
Speaker 8: You right now.
25:36
Speaker 1: God, Blind Scott, Hello, blind Scott, you have clarity, Blind Scott.
25:42
Speaker 8: Yeah, dude, I was so impressed about your son joined
25:45
Speaker 8: the Marines, Like it was so American that I got
25:47
Speaker 8: all this Marines gear from the Calm Duty Free store
25:50
Speaker 8: at the Coastguard base and now I'm getting a veteran's
25:53
Speaker 8: discounts because I'm no.
25:54
Speaker 1: No, you're know that that's that stolen valor. You're not.
25:57
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to do that blind.
25:59
Speaker 8: No, there's because I'm blind. They just assumed that a marine.
26:02
Speaker 8: They even let me go back to seven to eleven.
26:04
Speaker 8: Remember what happened at seven eleven. It was like a
26:06
Speaker 8: fight there in my hand actually hit someone's nose and
26:09
Speaker 8: they got a buddy nose there.
26:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they walked into your hand. You couldn't You
26:13
Speaker 1: didn't know where they were. You're blind, Yeah, it wasn't
26:15
Speaker 1: my fault too.
26:16
Speaker 8: Is this Dammian Lillard?
26:17
Speaker 5: Talk?
26:17
Speaker 8: Man? We're not taking him in Boston. He's the king
26:21
Speaker 8: of Portland. Portland sucks man.
26:23
Speaker 1: No, this is a good idea that the Celtics should
26:26
Speaker 1: add everyone that has a popped Achilles. They should have
26:29
Speaker 1: their They should have Lillard, They got Tatum. How about
26:32
Speaker 1: you get Halliburton, Kevin Durant, get everyone who's popped in achilles.
26:36
Speaker 1: Have the all achilles starting five.
26:39
Speaker 8: You know, we know John Wallock, the backup radio guy
26:42
Speaker 8: for the Celtics. They should pop the other guy's achilles.
26:45
Speaker 8: Can put him in a little bit of swamp in there, dude,
26:47
Speaker 8: what about this TV show Betty Versus the Petty. We're
26:49
Speaker 8: all very exciting.
26:51
Speaker 1: I know we're very excited. I were waiting that we
26:53
Speaker 1: have no announcement yet where we were waiting to hear
26:55
Speaker 1: will the show returned for another season? I don't know yet.
26:58
Speaker 8: You just don't talk about Mike de lepercoon that much
27:00
Speaker 8: because it won't be a good idea for the show.
27:03
Speaker 7: Dude.
27:03
Speaker 8: It's one thing that supermarket Steve doesn't listen is we're
27:06
Speaker 8: doing reaction radio here. If he wants to talk NBA,
27:10
Speaker 8: he can call up and do a phone call about it.
27:12
Speaker 8: The phone calls have actually been phenomenal tonight. You know
27:15
Speaker 8: Van Obama man, he knows a lot about sports, but
27:18
Speaker 8: his delivery is awful. You have to do all the legwork.
27:21
Speaker 8: What he calls them. He could keep calling and everything,
27:23
Speaker 8: but and then the poppy call man, it's just garbage,
27:26
Speaker 8: the fake laughing, the stick, the cadence. Everything is just
27:30
Speaker 8: awful about it. You know what I'm saying, We need
27:33
Speaker 8: more competitive callers. We might have to know.
27:35
Speaker 1: We well, no, what we need, no, we well, the
27:38
Speaker 1: town shows coming up. But what we need is and
27:41
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have to push the Town show
27:42
Speaker 1: by back like a week from when we originally were
27:44
Speaker 1: planning on doing it. We need to promote it more,
27:46
Speaker 1: and we need to get the acts lined up and
27:48
Speaker 1: all that stuff so they'll be perspective. But we got
27:51
Speaker 1: to do more newby nights. I feel like people are intimidated.
27:54
Speaker 1: They don't call up unless it's a newby night. We
27:56
Speaker 1: get the same people to call up every night on
27:58
Speaker 1: the show, which I'm fine with, but we need every
28:00
Speaker 1: once in a while, we need to freshen it up.
28:01
Speaker 1: We need new people to call in.
28:03
Speaker 4: Oh no, I don't like that.
28:04
Speaker 1: I did of course, is you can't call in and
28:07
Speaker 1: then you then you have a meltdown and send me
28:09
Speaker 1: seventy five emails during the show. I just got blows.
28:13
Speaker 3: No.
28:13
Speaker 8: Dan Patrick told me and Fred Toucher, they said, Ben
28:16
Speaker 8: puts you on every night, so we don't have to
28:18
Speaker 8: put you on the air.
28:19
Speaker 1: That is true. I'm doing this as a public service
28:22
Speaker 1: for Fred Toucher putting blind Scott on ruining my show
28:26
Speaker 1: so he has a better show. All right, go away,
28:30
Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Mark who's on the North End.
28:32
Speaker 1: Hello Mark, Welcome.
28:35
Speaker 6: Ben, how's it going.
28:36
Speaker 1: If I was any better, I would not have just
28:38
Speaker 1: taken that last phone call, but I did for some reason.
28:42
Speaker 6: Might be a Redskin instead of a commander. I love
28:45
Speaker 6: my president. And you know what, the people of Washington,
28:48
Speaker 6: they want their Redskins back. And you know what, why
28:51
Speaker 6: you're at it. Let's bring back the Indians to Lando
28:53
Speaker 6: Lakes in Cleveland.
28:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm fine with that. I don't think the
28:59
Speaker 1: lands better. Yes, yes, the same same thing, same same,
29:04
Speaker 1: the same concept.
29:06
Speaker 6: I mean, it didn't bother anybody for how many years,
29:08
Speaker 6: and now all of a sudden it bothers people.
29:09
Speaker 1: Ben it's racist. Yeah, well again, as I agree with
29:14
Speaker 1: you do. I think that's going to happen. The one
29:17
Speaker 1: that I'll give credit though, because not everyone the Atlanta Braves.
29:20
Speaker 1: They gave up the All Star Game in Atlanta. There
29:22
Speaker 1: were some other reasons for that too, but they baseball.
29:24
Speaker 1: There was a push to change the Braves nickname. Uh,
29:27
Speaker 1: the Chicago Blackhawk's nickname. We want to get rid of
29:30
Speaker 1: that for a while. The Florida State Seminoles, they want
29:33
Speaker 1: to get rid of that nickname.
29:36
Speaker 6: And even the family of the portrait that was on
29:38
Speaker 6: the Redskins helmet pissed off.
29:42
Speaker 1: I know. Well, so it's like when I went to school,
29:46
Speaker 1: their mascot was the Gauchos, but they got rid of
29:48
Speaker 1: that because apparently that's that's offensive to bring back. And
29:51
Speaker 1: Jemima as well. I agree, Great Waller pancakes, great Panca,
29:56
Speaker 1: Uncle Ben ask him a pie? Does anyone say no?
30:00
Speaker 1: Come on the Eskimo pie? Come on? Yeah? All right, Well,
30:04

30:33
Speaker 7: this is behind the You don't get to.
30:35
Speaker 1: Take somebody else's established nickname. You got to wait at
30:38
Speaker 1: least four generations till everyone's dad who remembered that? And
30:42
Speaker 1: it's not been four generations. You will it's only been
30:45
Speaker 1: two generations.
30:47
Speaker 7: Daddy did you? We will take it and you will
30:50
Speaker 7: like it? And and Daddy says you would like it? Boy,

31:24
Speaker 1: hanging out with.
31:24
Speaker 7: It.
31:24
Speaker 1: Just because you hang out with someone does not mean
31:26
Speaker 1: you're sleeping with them. My god.
31:28
Speaker 7: You these aholes from Boston all all the time. Man,
31:34
Speaker 7: way too many callers.
31:36
Speaker 1: Well maybe if other people call it just because the
31:39
Speaker 1: Boston people love the show and you other idiots don't call,
31:42
Speaker 1: it's all Boston people to call. What do you want
31:44
Speaker 1: me to do?
31:44
Speaker 7: Oh?
31:46
Speaker 1: Do we segment? Do we do? We say? No? If
31:49

31:50
Speaker 1: call no.
31:53
Speaker 4: All my long?
31:55
Speaker 1: Why do you wake up some of your neighbors? He

Speaker 7: Up, shut up, man.
32:04
Speaker 1: I'm alright, go all right, thank you, all right. Well
32:09
Speaker 1: that was fun. That was that was enjoyable. That was
32:11
Speaker 1: a great segment right there. That's why you don't take
32:13
Speaker 1: calls and talk radio. Right there, Boom done so. Getting
32:17
Speaker 1: the ring Deshaun Watson. To see this, Deshaun Watson, the
32:21
Speaker 1: creepy quarterback, got married and the wedding ring had not one,
32:27
Speaker 1: not two, not three, not four, not five, not six,
32:29
Speaker 1: not seven, not eight, not nine. How about thirty four
32:32
Speaker 1: carrots of diamonds valued it up to one point three million. Now,
32:38
Speaker 1: I'm not here to say that the reason it had
32:40
Speaker 1: thirty four carrots is that was one for every masseuse
32:43
Speaker 1: that he stooped when he was with the Houston Texas.
32:45
Speaker 1: I'm just sading thirty four carrots there of diamonds for
32:49
Speaker 1: Watson and that will be the only ring, the only
32:53
Speaker 1: one that he gets in. How about Josh Allen, the
32:56
Speaker 1: Bills quarterback who just got married in Santa Barbara this offseason. Now,
33:02
Speaker 1: Josh Allen making some financial moves as he is now
33:05
Speaker 1: married to I guess a Hollywood starlett and she's got
33:09
Speaker 1: a big place in I think Santa Barbara. Maybe Malibu,
33:13
Speaker 1: but up the coast, and Josh Allen had a compound
33:17
Speaker 1: in Orange County, the very end of Orange County, about
33:20
Speaker 1: halfway between LA and San Diego and a beautiful little
33:23
Speaker 1: community called Data Point and right on the ocean. And
33:29
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has put that house on the market. So
33:31
Speaker 1: he's selling that house. He's going to clear probably a
33:34
Speaker 1: million and a half dollars extra from the sale of
33:38
Speaker 1: that house by the time it sells. And he has
33:41
Speaker 1: said bye bye to the Swoosh. The Swoosh is on
33:45
Speaker 1: the loose. After winning the MVP, Josh Allen has ended
33:49
Speaker 1: his agreement with Nike. There are internet rumors. It has
33:53
Speaker 1: not been confirmed, but I believe he's switching to New Ballance.
33:56
Speaker 1: So they're the people that are involved in sports business say, well,
33:59
Speaker 1: he's gonna with New Balance on the NFL map, Like
34:03
Speaker 1: wasn't he with I thought he used to be with
34:05
Speaker 1: New Balance. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but anyway, Josh Allen,
34:08
Speaker 1: that's you talk about good timing, the good Timing Award.
34:11
Speaker 1: That's it all right straight, It's been a good timing site.
