Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number three, our number three,
- 0:06Speaker 1: And we begin this hour with the big injury news
- 0:10Speaker 1: on the comeback trail. What do you have to say
- 0:14Speaker 1: to the shutdown Bengal quarterback Joe Burrow for the season?
- 0:18Speaker 1: Crowd Burrow is now eligible. The return is supposed to
- 0:22Speaker 1: be back on Thanksgiving. Some people upset by that. Also,
- 0:26Speaker 1: why in the world would the Browns even consider playing
- 0:29Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson as QB number one? We'll talk about that.
- 0:32Speaker 1: And in college football, why is Brian Kelly unwilling to
- 0:37Speaker 1: give LSU some kind of deal on the buyout? His
- 0:41Speaker 1: lawyer said, we want the full amount. We'll talk about
- 0:45Speaker 1: that and more right now here it is our number three,
- 0:51Speaker 1: not exactly the welcome whacken for a start of return.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
- 1:00Speaker 1: Malor Show. We are in the air em where fellow taxpayers,
- 1:09Speaker 1: as we are getting back to the basics, unless we
- 1:12Speaker 1: don't cost coast border to moorter in beyond on the
- 1:15Speaker 1: vast and ginormously powerful microphones of fs are emmundating live
- 1:25Speaker 1: from the cad the vintage coin operated arcade. As you
- 1:32Speaker 1: put a quarter in and you're gonna get a hot take.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Spit right back out from the world famous Fox Sports
- 1:39Speaker 1: Radio studios, as approved by Jerome and Charleston and Big
- 1:43Speaker 1: Greg in Iowa. They both know that this portion of
- 1:46Speaker 1: the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible in part
- 1:48Speaker 1: by our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years,
- 1:51Speaker 1: Tyraq has been helping customers like Hollering James find the
- 1:55Speaker 1: right tires for how, what and where they drive ship
- 1:59Speaker 1: fast and free. That's right back by free road hazard
- 2:03Speaker 1: protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire
- 2:09Speaker 1: ract dot Com Away tire buying showy. So our lead
- 2:16Speaker 1: this hour is from Cincinnati, where Joe Burrow he's back.
- 2:23Speaker 1: What kind of Burrow returned to the practice field with
- 2:26Speaker 1: the Bengals some light workouts on Monday, opening up. I
- 2:30Speaker 1: know you're excited about this. The twenty one day window,
- 2:34Speaker 1: a window to the world twenty one day window for
- 2:38Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, the franchise quarterback who eventually returned to QB
- 2:42Speaker 1: one status with the Cincinnati football team. So the reaction
- 2:47Speaker 1: has been, what did you see this? No, So, Burrow
- 2:52Speaker 1: is eligible to be activated during the three weeks and
- 2:56Speaker 1: the Bengals are three and six. They've lost six of
- 2:59Speaker 1: seven games since Burrow had a little snap crackle pop
- 3:05Speaker 1: for Breakfast, suffered the toe injury in the game mid
- 3:08Speaker 1: September that required surgery. Turf toe doesn't sound that bad
- 3:13Speaker 1: until you realize how effed up your entire foot is
- 3:16Speaker 1: based on how messed up your toe is. So Fox's
- 3:20Speaker 1: Jay Glazer, who very rarely anymore breaks any stories, but
- 3:24Speaker 1: Jay Glazer had the story. He said that Burrow will return,
- 3:28Speaker 1: schedule to return week sixteen. Cincinnati will play on Thanksgiving Night,
- 3:36Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Night against Baltimore, and according to Jay Glazer, the
- 3:41Speaker 1: word is that Burrow will be playing. And the sum
- 3:45Speaker 1: are upset by this and some of the pundits fans,
- 3:50Speaker 1: I don't know what's real and not anymore. They were
- 3:53Speaker 1: complaining on the matrix. It's not right. They want Joe
- 3:57Speaker 1: Burrow shut down. They want but them on and shut
- 4:01Speaker 1: down the It's not going to be safe for Joe Burrow.
- 4:06Speaker 1: It's not. Here's Joe Burrow. But he chimed in on
- 4:09Speaker 1: coming back and playing, and the Bengals a bad record
- 4:13Speaker 1: and all that, and here's Burrow.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, our division is wide open. I think
- 4:17Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's five and four at this point. We play them
- 4:20Speaker 2: this week, so you know, everything is still there in
- 4:22Speaker 2: front of us. Very rare that our division looks like this,
- 4:25Speaker 2: but it does this year, and you know, I think
- 4:27Speaker 2: we'll be at least in it until the end. I
- 4:29Speaker 2: think it would be very difficult for us to be
- 4:31Speaker 2: a wildcard team at this point. Obviously a lot of
- 4:33Speaker 2: a lot of football to be played, but you know,
- 4:35Speaker 2: I think that's difficult. I think our best path would
- 4:37Speaker 2: be win the division.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Okay, so let me translate that. Joe Burrow says that
- 4:42Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals play in a division that has pooped
- 4:45Speaker 1: to the right. They have vomit to the left, and
- 4:48Speaker 1: they've got a little do do on the other side.
- 4:52Speaker 1: That's the division. And so he said, hey, we're in
- 4:54Speaker 1: good shape three and six and again. But to me,
- 4:58Speaker 1: the story is the fact that this is another thing
- 5:00Speaker 1: that has changed in my lifetime for years ago. Oh,
- 5:02Speaker 1: the star player is gonna come back. This is exciting,
- 5:04Speaker 1: this is great. And the reaction seems to be, no,
- 5:07Speaker 1: we want Joe Burrow shut down. We like Flacco protect
- 5:10Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. It's a wasted season. And so that's the
- 5:15Speaker 1: jumping off point on this, So let us discuss the question,
- 5:19Speaker 1: what do you have to say to the shut him
- 5:24Speaker 1: down crowd, the Joe Burrow should not play crowd, shut
- 5:29Speaker 1: him down for the season. What do you have to
- 5:31Speaker 1: say to those people? So on this one, I've got
- 5:34Speaker 1: mister Freeze, schoolhouse rock, and king size bed, and we
- 5:41Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
- 5:44Speaker 1: gonna make the Gabba Ghul. We're gonna make the Gobba
- 5:48Speaker 1: ghoul is what we're going to do. So first of all,
- 5:51Speaker 1: I have free words to the people that would like
- 5:54Speaker 1: Joe Burrow to not play football again this season. And
- 5:58Speaker 1: I'll be fair. I'm not gonna be a douche. My
- 6:01Speaker 1: three words are get a life. Those are my three words.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Just I'm so sick of this. I am like, this
- 6:12Speaker 1: is the it's the NFL. You're gonna get hit, You're
- 6:15Speaker 1: gonna get knocked around. And it's not some kind of
- 6:20Speaker 1: sewing class. You're not knitting a sweater, You're not. It's
- 6:25Speaker 1: Football's never going to be safe enough to play, never
- 6:30Speaker 1: gonna be safe enough. That the whole conversation is absurd.
- 6:35Speaker 1: With the capital A. Burrow turns twenty nine next month, now,
- 6:40Speaker 1: twenty nine is not old. Twenty nine is young. But
- 6:43Speaker 1: in the sports world, and when you play in the NFL,
- 6:46Speaker 1: despite a few outliers, normally speaking, your prime athletic years
- 6:51Speaker 1: are from twenty seven to thirty two and then it's
- 6:55Speaker 1: a slow decline. So it's not like we're talking about
- 6:57Speaker 1: some kind of rookie quarterback here. It's not like he
- 7:01Speaker 1: has another ten years in the NFL. He's unlikely that Burrow,
- 7:05Speaker 1: based on the amount of injuries he's already had, is
- 7:08Speaker 1: going to play until he's in his late thirties. You
- 7:11Speaker 1: have a finite window of opportunity. We all know that,
- 7:14Speaker 1: right You have a finite window of opportunity, maybe three
- 7:16Speaker 1: or four more really good years for Joe Burrow, and
- 7:19Speaker 1: then it's it's a little downward dog, our little downward
- 7:25Speaker 1: dog yoga. So the idea that some of you idiots
- 7:30Speaker 1: have that we're just gonna save Joe Burrow for later,
- 7:34Speaker 1: We're gonna put him on layaway for later, it's just
- 7:38Speaker 1: fantasyland is all it is. Later does not exist in
- 7:42Speaker 1: that business. It does not exist. And some of these
- 7:47Speaker 1: people act like you can just flip a switch and
- 7:51Speaker 1: turn on mister Freeze and freeze Joe Burrow in a
- 7:56Speaker 1: cryogenic chamber somewhere, and then when you think you've got
- 8:01Speaker 1: the perfect roster, you just flip the switch and you
- 8:04Speaker 1: unfreeze Ta da Joe Burrow, just like that, and all
- 8:07Speaker 1: of a sudden he comes back and everything's great. Spoiler alert,
- 8:11Speaker 1: spiler alert. It's never ever going to be like that.
- 8:15Speaker 1: It's not gonna be perfect. Your offensive line is never
- 8:18Speaker 1: gonna be the greatest offensive line of the world. Your
- 8:20Speaker 1: defense is never gonna be a top five defense. At
- 8:22Speaker 1: the same time, he'll never be totally healthy. The roster's
- 8:26Speaker 1: not gonna be completely healthy. So stop stop. You play
- 8:32Speaker 1: when you can play. I was gonna say play to
- 8:36Speaker 1: win the game, but you play when you can play.
- 8:37Speaker 1: The Bengals don't win very many games. They don't. And
- 8:40Speaker 1: so if Burrow feels like he can play, and he's
- 8:45Speaker 1: being paid a lot of money, the doctors have cleared
- 8:47Speaker 1: Joe Burrow to come back and play, go play. Would
- 8:50Speaker 1: you rather watch Joe Burrow Joe flackle? I would rather
- 8:53Speaker 1: watch Joe Burrow. That's the mountain I'm gonna die on.
- 8:56Speaker 1: That's it. And stop with the wrap him in bubble
- 8:59Speaker 1: wrap bull crap. That is out. I just don't want
- 9:02Speaker 1: to hear it. It's nonsense. I don't know me it
- 9:05Speaker 1: is Joe Flacco, I don't It's a fun little store.
- 9:10Speaker 1: It's a cute little story. Joe Flacco is wearing dad
- 9:12Speaker 1: jeans and should be driving a tractor somewhere cutting the lawn,
- 9:16Speaker 1: drinking beers on a Sunday, watching footballs instead playing in
- 9:20Speaker 1: the NFL. Grandpa, Joe, I think it's quite fine. Okay,
- 9:25Speaker 1: good raw Raw. The Bengals gave bro where they give
- 9:29Speaker 1: two hudred seventy five million or something like that. They
- 9:31Speaker 1: didn't give him that money. This cinema on the bench
- 9:35Speaker 1: is the highest paid rehab patient in the history of rehab?
- 9:40Speaker 1: Is that is that? Joe Burrow? So, you, generally speaking,
- 9:44Speaker 1: do not get greatness. You don't get greatness by hiding
- 9:49Speaker 1: from risk. It's a lot of people that want to hide,
- 9:54Speaker 1: and that's not good. That is not good. And see
- 9:57Speaker 1: that's a bit of a different situation way the old
- 10:02Speaker 1: school guys they played, fans wanted them to play. At
- 10:08Speaker 1: some point there was a glitch in the matrix. And
- 10:12Speaker 1: I'm not sure when exactly it happened, but the wussification
- 10:16Speaker 1: of the sporting world took over, and you've got an
- 10:19Speaker 1: entire generation of fans that are terrified that something might
- 10:25Speaker 1: go wrong to their star player, and they need to
- 10:27Speaker 1: coddle their star player. They need to baby their star player.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Oh my god, the star player might get hurt. Oh my,
- 10:34Speaker 1: it's so stupid, it's so dumb. Guess what. Things always
- 10:39Speaker 1: go wrong. That's life, that is life, that's what happens.
- 10:45Speaker 1: And somethin in football they go wrong more than other sports.
- 10:50Speaker 1: So just get out there and play. Get out there
- 10:52Speaker 1: and play. And yeah, why don't we just well shut
- 10:56Speaker 1: Burrow down. We'll put them on the freeze and we'll
- 10:59Speaker 1: put them on and then we'll bring him back in
- 11:01Speaker 1: twenty thirty. We'll have a few drafts. We'll draft some
- 11:03Speaker 1: offensive linemen, some defensive players, and we'll be ready to go.
- 11:08Speaker 1: And if Burrow can't play by them, we'll just play
- 11:10Speaker 1: AI Joe Burrow. We'll play an avatar, an avvy of
- 11:14Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, and we'll have AI and it'll be fine,
- 11:16Speaker 1: and he can debut in the metaverse. Of course, that
- 11:19Speaker 1: won't be around either all right. Now. Secondly, we stay
- 11:23Speaker 1: in the Buckeye State and we honor the great Dick
- 11:26Speaker 1: and Dayton a legend, allegend. So Brown's head coach Kevin
- 11:32Speaker 1: Stefanski surprising many randomly after the Browns somehow did the impossible.
- 11:39Speaker 1: They lost to the New York Jets, and the Jets
- 11:42Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback. It's like losing a race in
- 11:49Speaker 1: the sky and it was a ghost plane. The Jets
- 11:53Speaker 1: are essentially a ghost jet. They don't have a quarterback anyway,
- 11:56Speaker 1: Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski hinting that at quarterback DeShawn Watson,
- 12:04Speaker 1: the creepy quarterback, could be back soon, developing hot dot
- 12:09Speaker 1: dot dot yes, much like Joe Burrow, Deshaun Watson inching
- 12:15Speaker 1: closer to a return. Okay, question for the panel of judges.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Why in the world, Why in the world would the
- 12:26Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns even consider for a millisecond, for a millisecond,
- 12:31Speaker 1: playing Deshaun Watson, like, why would you do that? All right?
- 12:36Speaker 1: So my theory on this it is the Cleveland Browns
- 12:40Speaker 1: announcing yet again that they believe in the classic schoolhouse Rock.
- 12:48Speaker 1: All right, schoolhouse Rock conjunction junction. What is your function
- 12:54Speaker 1: and your function is dysfunction junction? That is what it is,
- 12:58Speaker 1: right that Watson got forty six million dollars per year, garanteed,
- 13:05Speaker 1: garanteed forty six million dollars in salary a year, no
- 13:12Speaker 1: trade clause. Check. He's got a no trade clause emotional
- 13:17Speaker 1: range of a houseplant. Check check. Check. That's what he's got.
- 13:22Speaker 1: That's Deshaun Watson. So what exactly is the upside? The
- 13:26Speaker 1: only upside I could think of. The only upside would
- 13:30Speaker 1: be the hope. And it's just based on hope that
- 13:34Speaker 1: he would play well enough in a couple of games Watson,
- 13:39Speaker 1: where you can find a bigger idiot to take Watson,
- 13:45Speaker 1: but Watson would have to agree to a trade. He
- 13:47Speaker 1: would likely demand more money. Why would anyone give him
- 13:49Speaker 1: more money? That doesn't make any sense. So even that
- 13:53Speaker 1: is illogical to think that you'd play him, he'd play well,
- 13:57Speaker 1: and then you could convince some dumb dumb like the
- 14:00Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals or someone like the Raiders to take to
- 14:03Speaker 1: Shaan Watson on and you get a conditional fifth round
- 14:08Speaker 1: draft pick or something like that. If you hallucinate, I
- 14:12Speaker 1: guess you could get that. It is the multiverse, So
- 14:15Speaker 1: there's somewhere there. Clearly the people in the Browns organization
- 14:19Speaker 1: that are going down that road, even contemplating for a
- 14:22Speaker 1: second that you can take to Shaan Watson and play
- 14:25Speaker 1: him for a couple games and flip him. You're out
- 14:28Speaker 1: there smoking the cactus, the payote variety there Cleveland's latest
- 14:33Speaker 1: art installment. It's the Factory of Sadness and if you
- 14:39Speaker 1: look at it, they've added a layer there and the
- 14:42Speaker 1: layer at the factor of sadness is a cloud of
- 14:45Speaker 1: toxic smoke. Very toxic it is, and you can actually
- 14:51Speaker 1: see the plume of smoke over Lake Erie. It's not
- 14:54Speaker 1: very aesthetically pleasing, but there it is. And so Watson's return,
- 14:59Speaker 1: even Strip Club John would be offended by this. It
- 15:03Speaker 1: would contaminate further. The Browns franchise, the front office, the
- 15:08Speaker 1: water supply, everything, and he's essentially a super fund site
- 15:15Speaker 1: at quarterback. That is Deshaun Watsons. You need a hazmat
- 15:20Speaker 1: suit is what you need to go near the huddle.
- 15:23Speaker 1: You need a little bit of that. And regardless though
- 15:25Speaker 1: this is the Browns and again dysfunction junction, what's your function?
- 15:30Speaker 1: That's it. Every year the Browns promise that they're going
- 15:33Speaker 1: to clean things up, and this year is going to
- 15:35Speaker 1: be different. Everything will be fine. We're good to go. Okay,
- 15:37Speaker 1: we're good to go. Good, good to hear. I love that.
- 15:39Speaker 1: And then every year they add another layer of a
- 15:42Speaker 1: chemical league. Very consistent, very consistent. It is the Ben
- 15:47Speaker 1: Maule Show. Now the final fought. Here we go to
- 15:49Speaker 1: college football, quick way, go to college foot well, the
- 15:53Speaker 1: reason we go to college football. We have a follow
- 15:55Speaker 1: up follow up in the state of Louisiana. Brian Ketney.
- 16:00Speaker 1: He's our football coach, Brian Kelly. Now that era may
- 16:04Speaker 1: be ov R for LSUS. I just yelled out a
- 16:08Speaker 1: bunch of letters. But however, the school is still dealing
- 16:12Speaker 1: with the migraine headache of trying to figure out the
- 16:16Speaker 1: financial ramifications of whacking the coach that you gave the
- 16:21Speaker 1: forever contract to. There's a fifty three million dollar buyout,
- 16:28Speaker 1: the second largest in college football history. Holy Jimbo Fisher Batman, yep,
- 16:34Speaker 1: fifty three million. So what do you think happened? LSU said, Hey, Brian, listen,
- 16:40Speaker 1: we like you, We're glad that we hired user coach.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Why don't we work out a deal and we'll give
- 16:49Speaker 1: you some money, shave off a little money, how about that? Yeah?
- 16:54Speaker 1: I don't know let's shave out like twenty million dollars.
- 16:56Speaker 1: That's fine, you don't need twenty million dollars. You're good
- 16:58Speaker 1: on it. You're good on that. Okay, good, yes, okay.
- 17:02Speaker 3: No.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Brian Kelly's lawyers have informed LSU. We are told that
- 17:07Speaker 1: he wants the school to fulfill its contractual obligation. That
- 17:12Speaker 1: is a lawyer that wrote that the contractual, the contractual
- 17:16Speaker 1: obligation that he signed with the school there to pay
- 17:20Speaker 1: him in baton rouge the full liquidated damages. Now this
- 17:25Speaker 1: after there were two separate offers. There was one offer
- 17:29Speaker 1: you talk about having hutzbut twenty five million dollars LS.
- 17:32Speaker 1: You said, we'll pay a twenty five million, that's it.
- 17:34Speaker 1: And then they came back and said, okay, how about
- 17:36Speaker 1: thirty million. So just leave twenty three million on the
- 17:40Speaker 1: table and you're good to go. We're good to go.
- 17:43Speaker 1: So the question on this, why is Brian Kelly unwilling
- 17:50Speaker 1: to give LSU a deal on the buyout? All right? So,
- 17:57Speaker 1: because even though he pretended to be a country bumpkin,
- 18:02Speaker 1: he is not a country bumpkin. Even tiger Man knows that. Yeah,
- 18:07Speaker 1: he was just acting, he was just doing cosplay. When
- 18:10Speaker 1: he said that, Hey, you know, I'm from the South.
- 18:13Speaker 1: He remember the Southern accent and all that stuff. And
- 18:15Speaker 1: this is a Jim Calhoun store. If you remember Jim Calhoun,
- 18:18Speaker 1: maybe not. He used to be the coach at Yukon
- 18:20Speaker 1: back when people watched college basketball, and he had a
- 18:23Speaker 1: famous ran. Not a dime back, not a dime, not
- 18:26Speaker 1: a dime at LSU. What they did is they made
- 18:29Speaker 1: a king sized bed of golden nails, a giant king
- 18:34Speaker 1: sized bed, California king sized bed of golden nails. And
- 18:41Speaker 1: it was just glorious. And they paid the man with
- 18:45Speaker 1: the fake accent, the country club arrogance, all of that,
- 18:50Speaker 1: The fake country bumpkin paid him. And now because they
- 18:54Speaker 1: made that king sized bed with all those golden nails,
- 18:58Speaker 1: they're the ones that have to lie on that bed.
- 19:01Speaker 1: How's the bed feel? How's it feel? Full freight, baby,
- 19:06Speaker 1: full freight. Not a dimeback. So this is known as
- 19:09Speaker 1: death Valley. Baton rouge night games in Louisiana. Oh Man
- 19:14Speaker 1: crowd goes wild. However, it's now debt Valley. It's debt
- 19:18Speaker 1: Valley because there's a lot of debt there. Now, they
- 19:20Speaker 1: supposedly have a booster that's willing to pay the full amount,
- 19:24Speaker 1: although it sounds like they were trying to cut a
- 19:25Speaker 1: deal anyway despite having the booster. Good luck on that.
- 19:29Speaker 1: And yeah, this is the no money back guarantee that
- 19:34Speaker 1: you gave him. You gave him a no bunny back guarantee,
- 19:37Speaker 1: Brian Kelly. And you can't say we didn't like your
- 19:39Speaker 1: fake twaying and that's why we don't want you. And
- 19:43Speaker 1: according to the interweb, the only way that LSU could
- 19:47Speaker 1: get out of this is claiming there was some kind
- 19:49Speaker 1: of morals clause violation, that there was a breach of morality. However,
- 19:55Speaker 1: in order for that to happen, you have to have
- 19:57Speaker 1: some serious evidence and you have to to be able
- 20:00Speaker 1: to prove it. And you would think if LSU had
- 20:03Speaker 1: some of that, we would have heard about it by now.
- 20:06Speaker 1: We have not. And he's sitting somewhere Brian Kelly, counting
- 20:11Speaker 1: his occasion buyout money, probably probably saying y'all, y'all, because
- 20:17Speaker 1: you know it's got to be when you're doing the
- 20:18Speaker 1: fake Southern thing. I say, y'all. You know, his cocktail,
- 20:22Speaker 1: napkin and all that stuff and just having a grand
- 20:24Speaker 1: old time and got to be the greatest gig in America.
- 20:28Speaker 1: People say, the greatest job in America is this that
- 20:30Speaker 1: you know, the greatest job in America is to sign
- 20:32Speaker 1: a multi year, multi million dollar contract. Be so bad
- 20:36Speaker 1: at your job you lose the job in a couple
- 20:37Speaker 1: of years, and they just keep paying you and paying
- 20:40Speaker 1: you and paying you, and you're failing. You get paid.
- 20:46Speaker 1: You never have to work again. And that's where we are.

- 29:10Speaker 1: He wants to what is this gibberish? What we're doing

- 29:42Speaker 1: If I was any better, I would not have taken
- 29:45Speaker 1: Steven Manhattan's phone call, but I have so here I am.
- 29:50Speaker 1: It's amazing.
- 29:52Speaker 9: First off, I hope everybody has a safe veteran's day.
- 29:57Speaker 9: And also the Packers when they signed Michael Parsons, there
- 30:04Speaker 9: was no excuse for them not having a great season,
- 30:10Speaker 9: and they just seem like they're making up excuses or whatever.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Yeah, they're pretty pretty mediocre. They're not great. It's not
- 30:20Speaker 1: a great season. It's not terrible. It's not over, but
- 30:22Speaker 1: they're not very good.
- 30:24Speaker 9: They just they were trying to get too fancy or
- 30:27Speaker 9: something like that, like they're trying to show boat and
- 30:29Speaker 9: everything else to show off all their talent instead of
- 30:32Speaker 9: just line up and jam it down.
- 30:34Speaker 1: People throw yeah, no here, it's not good. Well, well
- 30:39Speaker 1: we'll have to check in. Unfortunately, if you if you
- 30:41Speaker 1: own stock in the Packers, you don't have any voting rights,
- 30:45Speaker 1: so you don't get to vote on any of this. Unfortunately,
- 30:48Speaker 1: would it be great? How cool would it be? There
- 30:50Speaker 1: are five hundred thirty eight thousand shareholders of the Green
- 30:56Speaker 1: Bay Packers. How awesome would it be if they voted
- 30:59Speaker 1: every year to side? If the coach and the GM
- 31:01Speaker 1: and the quarterback stay. Wouldn't that be great? That'd be awesome.
- 31:05Speaker 9: Oh I don't want the I love Matt Lafour and
- 31:08Speaker 9: everything else like that. But like I said, they're trying
- 31:10Speaker 9: to look like they're trying to take the team down
- 31:14Speaker 9: Broadway and go on Broadway instead of just doing their jobs.
- 31:19Speaker 1: They are definitely there, definitely as you know, far away
- 31:22Speaker 1: from Broadway in Greenville, like the big city's Appleton and
- 31:26Speaker 1: it ain't very big. So yeah, that what's doing?
- 31:29Speaker 9: No.
- 31:29Speaker 1: I grew up in Wisconsin, so all right, well my brother,
- 31:33Speaker 1: my brother lives there, so I'm I'm familiar with it,
- 31:36Speaker 1: but I didn't grow up there. But I hear you,
- 31:37Speaker 1: all right, but nothing to add. Steve Onpacker Talk, Steven Manhattan,
