  Speaker 1: back at it again has some really good feedback from
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Newbie nine night yesterday. It is not newbe Night tonight.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: People are saying we should do newby Night every night,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and I I did right back to one of those people.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Have a few people emailed me about newby Knight same Oh,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the show was a lot of energy. There was a
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: lot of buzz to it. You know, it wasn't the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: same characters, and sure it was. But if we did
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: newby Night every night, then people would be asking for
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: old timers night and we don't want that. But I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: don't know what I can do to get people to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: call new people to call other than Neube Night. I'm
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: stuck in this rut. If you have any ideas, like
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: do I have to bribe people?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Like what?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know, But we'll talk more about that later
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: our lead this hour from our never ending drama. Oh rama.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: That's right, we go to Big d I know, I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: know you're excited. Come on, no, I know, Charlie and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Dallas is excited. Another chapter in the Endless, Endless soap
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: opera involving Jerry's world and Edge, Jerry and the Edge. Now,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: if you have not heard the latest on this, perhaps not,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: no worries, We got you. So the speculation is bubbling up,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: bub bubble. It's brewing that the Cantankerous Cowboys star Micah
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Parsons could be traded. Oh my god. And one of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the rumors that's been bouncing around the echo chamber the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: last couple of days is that not only will Parsons
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: be traded, but he will go to one of the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: old school if you're really old rivals of the Dallas
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Cowboys from a million years ago, the Green Bay Packers. Now,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: there were three teams that have been tossed at. I'm
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: sure there's more than that, but the three teams that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: are on my radar that have been mentioned as trade
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: possibilities for Micah Parsons are the Packers, the Cardinals, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the Poets, otherwise know as the Ravens. They have been
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: mentioned as teams that are considering a run at Michaeh. Parsons.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So the squabbling between Parsons and Jerry Jones has gone
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: on for a couple of months. Now we love it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: We have a talk show to do every day. The
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Cold war situation is good for our business now. In
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a related note, there was a social media salut that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: went viral at the airport, posting a photo which he
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: claims shows Micah Parsons leaving the Dallas Fort Worth International
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Airport where they have some great restaurants and a nice shuttle.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: It takes you from terminal to terminal, and said he
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: appeared to be in no rush. In rush, rather not
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: no rush, he was in a rush. He was in
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a rush, Michael Parsons. So let us discuss the question
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: as we unpack all this. How do you read how
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: do you read the Micah Parsons trade speculation. We'll start
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: with that to the packers and other teams. So my
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: thoughts on this. I've got Jimmy John's rocket launcher and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: tire rack. Yeah, I don't know how they got in there,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: but we'll throw all these things together and put the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: biscuit in the basket. That's what we're gonna put the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: biscuit in the basket. So a, the speculation circus is
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: alive and well, and I'm here for it. I got
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: my big bucket of popcorn. I've got my snacks, my
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: cotton candy. Let's let's talk about Green Bay specifically, because
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that's been bouncing around the old echo chamber, so eating
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: up a lot of bandwidth, a lot of bandwidth, a
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: lot of gigabytes on the on the package. So here,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: here's what we we know about this, right well, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: what do we know about this? The packers are what.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: They're prim and proper. They're buttoned up, their conservative They're
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a community owned.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Friend ruse, the only one in North American sport you
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: may own a certificate that has a piece of you know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: has some riding on this as you own ex percenter
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: to the Green Bay Packers, they are in terms of
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: the big move.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: The big kahuna, the big ragoul they are the packers
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: vanilla ice cream. They're not Rocky row, they're not strawberry.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: They're not some exotic mintschip. No, no, no, they are vanilla.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: They're not even French vanilla. They're not slow churn vanilla.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: They're just don't make the splitch splash move. They've never
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: done it the my entire life. I'm getting old now,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: my entire life. The only time I remember the Packers
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: making a big move was when God told the Minister
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: of Defense to go to Green Bay because God apparently
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: was a Packer fan, when Reggie White went to green Bay.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Other than that, I don't recall any big moves. They
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: don't trade for the headline guy, they don't sign the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: big free agent. The Packers they just slowly methodically draft players.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: They sign B level free agents, they acquire sea level players,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and they certainly do not pick up players that are
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: sitting on a gold mine about to cash a windfall contract.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: They don't do that. Parsons is going to get several
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Brinks trucks now, whether it's from the Cowboys or not,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: someone's gonna back those bad boys up and drop the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: gold bouyon right on his doorsteps. And that's not a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin tradition. Now, if Michael Parsons wants to eat cheese curds,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: they're really good, he can go over to Kenosha. And
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: he can go to Kenosha the cheese castle there they
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: got all the all that good stuff and eat Kolb's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: all the time. He can have some brats and and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: maybe a conservative signing bonus, but one hundred million dollar
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: pass Rusher, No way, green Bay, No way, green By.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You're better off and the chances are better that green
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Bay would have a ninety seven degree day in December.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Then Micah Parsons getting that mega contract is to break
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the bank with the packers. So this is a classic case.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It's Jimmy John's free smells. You walk, you smell the bread. Yeah,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and there's no sandwich to chew on. It's all sizzle,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: no steak, all that stuff. It's the secret menu item,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the smoke sandwich. You know what, the smoke sandwiches. It's
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a couple of pieces of bread and you wish there
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: was some meat in there somewhere else. But now, as
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: for the squabbling with Jerry Jones, this is what I'm
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: in for. I'm in for this. I signed up for this.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: We've got both factions, both camps. They're shadow boxing, they're
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: leaking things strategically, they're playing tug of war with the narrative.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And then I'm just sitting in here and like I'm
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: watching a tennis match or a ping pong match and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: a ping pong match, and they're going back and forth.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: They're just going back and forth. Now page two. So
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: now the subplot has twisted a little bit. Let's get
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to the alleged airport siding. So some social media Sherlock
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: claimed that they were just happened to be the airport
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and they said, I saw Michael Parsons and he seemed
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to be in a rush at the Dallas Fort Worth
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Airport there and was this something or was this nothing?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: So it is a reminder if you're a public figure.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Fortunately I'm not a public figure. I do overnight talk radio.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not a public figure. But if you are a
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: public figure, we are living in the surveillance selfie society.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: If you didn't already know that, I remember a couple
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of years back when Lebron James set the scoring record
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: in the NBA, passed Kareem Abdul Jabbar by I guess
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: it last year he said the whatever it was, he
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: set the scoring record, and there was that still photography
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: that photographed behind the basket looking at down the court
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and here's one of the you know, I'm not a
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: big Lebron fan, but it's one of the great moments
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in basketball. The all time leading score Lebron James and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: what do you see? You see ten thousand people all
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: standing up doing the Statue of Liberty. They're holding we
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: grab my my phone is I'll grab my I'm gonna
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: pay so I'll do the statute of this. So they
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: grab it from and they're like this. They're not even
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: watching it. They're just holding their phone up there and
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: they're trying to record it with their phone. It's the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: surveillance selfie society. The smartphone is not really a communications
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: device as much as it is a rumor rocket launcher,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: is what it is. Right, every fan is a pocket paparazzo,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and the internet sluice are in the air everywhere, literally
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: in the air area. So what gives? So the company
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: line this was leaked to state sponsored NFL media, so
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: take it for what it's worth. They say that Michael
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Parsons was at the airport rushing to get an MRI
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: on his ailing back I'm my aching back or plot twist.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe he was racing to get on the plane to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: go to Cabo to have some cocktails. And taketos before
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Happy Hour. Either way, we've certainly got more questions than answers.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And so that there's that. Now, I will tell you
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: what will fix Michaeh Parson's back. Now, I am not
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a doctor, but I can't play one on Overnight Radio.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I will guarantee if you want to fix Michaeh Parson's back,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: you give him the contract his heart desires, and suddenly
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: that back pain will vanish, Abra cadabra, hocus pocus. He'll
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: be out there running around like he's twenty years old again,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: boom all over the place. All right. So, as far
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: as the other side of this, Michael Parson's trade chatter
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: mentioned right now, it's a phantom menace. I don't know
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: if I use that term, but it's a phantom menace.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: And so there is no there there. It's not Jerry Jones'
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: normal activity to trade a player, but the tensions did
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: get ratcheted up courtesy of a player entering the chat. Now,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: this is not Jerry Jones, It is not Michaeh Parsons.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: It's Terrence Parsons Junior. Do you know that name? Does
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: that name? That name does not ring a bell. You
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: do not know the Parsons family tree. That job by
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: you kind of fraud of you. You don't know the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: siblings of Michael Parsons. You're fraud. So Terrence Parsons Junior,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: we are told that is the brother of the Dallas
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Cowboys defensive player, and he has now entered the chat
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: posting on social media. Quote, it's gonna get ugly, put
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: your gloves on. This is going twelve rounds. Can you
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: explain what that means? So this is brotherly bluster?
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Is what?
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: This is?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Not brotherly love? It's brotherly bluster. Does Terrence Parsons Junior
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: have a life? Does he have a job? I have two.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I have an older brother and I have a younger brother.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I have never posted anything on social media about their
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: jobs ever, nor have they posted anything about my job.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I live in my own life. They live their life.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine having meddling siblings. What a knight mean? Dude,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: live your own life. Don't live through your brother because
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: he happens to play for the Dallas Cowboys. That's embarrassing anyway.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Michael Parson's brother is the self appointed apparently hype man,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the cornerman, the social media, sparring coach, all of that,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and he just rang the bellt ding ding ding ding
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: ding for the next round of this heavyweight heavyweight matchup
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: between family loyalty on one side of the ring and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: then on the other side of the ring franchised Dallas politics.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: So the brother Terrence, Michael Parson's brother Terrence, isn't just
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: forecasting turbulence. He's announcing a pay per view war of attrition.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Oh the drama, the emotion. Every single social media post
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: is a jab. It's a every rumor, body blow, body blow,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: body blow, and every moment of silence from Jerry Joe Owes.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: You know what that is, Rope a dope. That's the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: rope of dope. Shout out to Muhammad Ali. If Dallas
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: wants to punish Michael Parsons, if they really want to
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: punish him, then Jerry Jones would have to trade him
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: to the Sonoran Desert. That would be the Cardinal Sin.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I just trade him to the Cardinals. See you later.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: You're not really in the NFL when you're with the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. You got that little alligator Arms video game
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: playing quarterback out there. No one cares about your good
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: luck all right. Now, last word to San Francisco we
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: go where a general manager confirmed that one of his
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: key players would like out. That would be John Lynch.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: John Lynch, the forty nine Ers GM who said that
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: wide receiver Juje Jennings did did request a trade earlier
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: this offseason. However, that a trade will not will not
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: be happening according to the Niners executive. Your thoughts on
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: this one. So the way I read the room on
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: this particular story, John Lynch, the GM there, I used
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to work for his dad. His dad was a radio
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: executive in San Diego back in the day. Anyway, John
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Lynch stuck the post it note right there on the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Niners fridge and it says, we acknowledge your feelings, but
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: we're not doing Jack squat about it. And he put
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: that right there that it'll post it post it note
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: right there, put that on the fridge. Now, this is
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the NFL equivalent of locking your kid in his bedroom
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: or her bedroom and telling them you're not leaving the
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: house until you eat the broccoli. But I don't want broccoli.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: You gotta eat the broccoli, but I don't really want it.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I don't care. You've got to eat it. You can't
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: leave you room. Well, okay, I'll stay in my room.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I'll just play on my phone, play video games. All
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take your phone. Well, no, you can't do that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: That's a war crime. All right, it's front office hardball. Now,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings thinks he's more valuable than the contract that
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: he's signed, which is probably true based on the modern
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: economics of the NFL. Regardless of that, let's not pretend
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: that this is Jerry Rice or t O. This is
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings. He is the extra tire rack tire in
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the trunk. Now, we love tire Rack. They're a fine
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: sponsor and all that stuff. I'm talking about the spare tire.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the four on the car. I'm
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: talking about the spare tire that will get you down
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the road when you're in trouble. Is it useful, Yes,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: it is useful. Absolutely. Do you ever brag about your
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: spare tire? No, you don't. You don't brag about that.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: You don't walk into a bar on a Friday night
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: and say, man, you boys should see my spait tire.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Unless you happen to have it around your gut, then
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: everyone can see your spare tire, But I'm talking about
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the one on the car. I'm not talking about the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: hollering James spare tire. I'm talking about the one on
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the car would be what I'm talking about.

  Speaker 1: into the cosmos far far away, emanating live from the theater,

• 18:43
  Speaker 1: from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: by Angie and Brian, big fans of the show, Angie
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and Brian, and this portion of the program made possible
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For over
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: forty years, ti Iraq has been helping customers find the
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: right tire for how, what and where they drive ship
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: fast and free back by free road hazard protection with
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, Tire Act, dot
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Com Away tire Buying Showy, So our lead this hour
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: is from Indianapolis, a city known for the Indianapolis five
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: hundred and a lot of basketball. Who's your state? But
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: this is about football. It's about football. Status update on
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: demoted quarterbacks. Status update demoted quarterback. If you've not heard,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: perhaps not. We had a rubarb of sorts Colts general
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: manager Chris Ballard, who somehow has kept his job while
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: wonder wonder if that's going to continue. Jim Irsay, the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: late owner of the Colts, very loyal to Chris Ballard,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: who's put some really bad football teams together. So Chris Ballard,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the bloviate, blowhard general manager of the Indianapolis Colts. He
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: said that the team is not going to trade bust
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: quarterback Anthony Richardson, who stinks, but they're not trading him. Richardson,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you might know, was demoted in favor of another legendary stiff,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, the stumblebum who failed year after year with
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the new York Giants in embarrassing fashion. Ballard was quizzed
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: on the possibility of unloading the dead weight. It is
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, and he responded by saying, we're not trading him. Okay,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: we're not trading fine, all right, So let us discuss
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the question. The Colts front office says they are not
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: going to deal away benched quarterback Anthony Richardson. What does
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: this signal to you? So I've got spelling, bee, bellagio,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: and parallel parking, and we will combine all of these
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make delicious cinnamon rolls. Yum,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: yum to my tongue. Tongue, So number, I said, number,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: all right, all right. So this is a tale of denial, dysfunction,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and delusion mixed with devotion. A lot of d's, a
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: lot of d's denial, dysfunction, delusion, and devotion. It's also
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: some stubbornness. The Indianapolis Colts, those lovable or should I
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: say unlovable grid iron gatekeepers there of mediocrity. That's really
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the job of Chris Ballard. He is the gatekeeper there
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: of mediocrity. They're at it again. So let me translate
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: what the Ballard of the ball said into reality, here's
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: how I determine what the GM they're the cold said.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: He essentially said, we tried to trade Anthony Richardson. Nobody
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: wanted the guy because he's covered in fleas and flies,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: and now we're stuck holding onto this guy. He's a
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: hot potato. So this is the NFL's version of trying
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: to sell a used car that has no engine. That
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: car's got no engine, it's got three flat tires, and
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: if you open the glove box there's a raccoon living
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: in there. You can slap a fresh coat of paint
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: on it, right, you can say a slightly used and
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: it still smells like regret. Right, there's some problems there.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Now the Colts front office, really, what they're doing, Ballard
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: is like an overnight sports talk radio caller from years ago.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Spin cycle, Regina, Spin, Spin, Spin, Spin, Spin out of Minnesota.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: They're not ready to admit they're in Indy that they
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: drafted a turkey, but they did draft a turkey. Now.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Later on, in this fiery between the Colts, GM and
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the media, Ballard claimed that Richardson would quote be learning
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: behind a professional is what he said regarding his status
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty five. Now that is code for
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: we are hiding Anthony Richardson the quarterback behind another quarterback,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, and hoping that nobody notices that he also
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: also has bo which made us wonder, made us wonder
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: if the Colts GM has been hanging out with the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Golden Dragon. If you know what I mean here losing
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: a quarterback battle to Daniel Jones. If you're Anthony Richardson
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and you lost a quarterback battle to Daniel Jones, it
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: is akin to losing a spelling bee to a parrot. Okay,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you should never lose a spelling bee to a parrot,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: and you should never lose a quarterback competition to Daniel Jones.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: If you're a top five draft pick with the team
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: that drafted you, and the rest of the NFL, we
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: all knows the culture bluff. They're waiting for the inevitable
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: waiver wire clear and sale. Why pay full price when
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: you can scoop Richardson up for free if you even
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: want him. Iired some chatter that Richardson will have a
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: chance to change positions. He's that bad. He's that bad
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: as a quarterback. Now, my counter to that is Richardson
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: gets hurt all the time, mostly running the ball. So
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna make him a running back or some
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: kind of tight end or something like that, wouldn't he
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: just keep getting hurt? So what's the point? All right?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Page two to the waiver wire. As we run the
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: mouth to the waiver wire. Waiver wire, and look over there,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Tommy DeVito has a new home. Do you see this? Yes,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: that Tommy Davido. He's got a new home. Tommy DeVito
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: is headed too the New England football team. The folk
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: hero quarterback Jersey native of New Jersey, claimed off waivers
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: by the Patsies. And that ends that romantic rom com
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: with his hometown Giants. So why you ask? With the
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Patriots a team currently wandering the quarterback desert, they don't
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: know whether Drake May is going to be good or not,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and they have the pastronaut as the backup, So why
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: would they grab Tommy DeVito? It's pretty simple here. It's
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: kind of like you're you've paid for the buffet at
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the Belagio. You're walking down the buffet line. You see
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the prime rib is already gone, the herb crusted chicken
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: with champagne, cream sauce is empty, but there is a
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: little bit of spaghetti and a couple of meat balls
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: just sitting there. Now do you want that as your meal?
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Probably not, you know, not really. However, you're not just
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: gonna walk away from the buffet empty handy. You don't
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: want to be hungry, so you take the plate. And
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: that's it. And that's what the patriots are doing here.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: It's not really about de Vito being some kind of savior,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: you know. This is not the second coming of Tom Brady.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: No not. They're going to ride in there on a
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: white horse. That's not it. It's more of a patch job,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: little duct tape and all that. So Mike Rabel's patriots,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: they are the guys who busted a tire on the
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: on the highway there and they rolled into the gas
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: station and they said, okay, I got a new tire.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: It's gonna cost you this much as I don't want
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: a new tire. I'm gonna get one of those cans
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: of the you know that fix a flat thing. I'll
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: just get that and I'll get to fix a flat
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: And that's it. That's Tommy culs de veto. Tommy DeVito
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: is a fun story. Right, we talked about him a
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: lot in the previous episode. I think we all know
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: the story. We pay attention to this stuff. Rocky bow
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Bowa right, you know, he's he's so Italian and he
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: takes a bath in marinera sauce and but this is desperation,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: and so the Patriots like, ah, why not? You know,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: you imagine when this guy gets to the Patriots on
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: those nights off, when he's out there partying at those
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: great Italian restaurants on the North End, and he'll be
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the Tommy Cutlets character and say, well, you're not from
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: around here, but you're Tommy Cutlets, so come on down
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: all right now, final point, we head now to Nashville.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: We go to Nashville where the captains have arrived. That's right,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: it's that time of the year. Spect to hear a
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: lot of this content in the next couple of days,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: teams announcing their captains. The first team up that would
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: be the team in Nashville. I'm sure Danny and Nashville
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: is very excited about this. Will he lives in Miami.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Among the seven captains seven They named seven captains among
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: these seven captains for the worst team in football the Titans.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: They decided that rookie quarterback cam Or Word, the number
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: one over in the twenty twenty five collegiate draft out
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: of Miami but mostly Washington State, is a captain. So
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: let's jump off on that. That's good jumping off point.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: So let's discuss that particular story. Rookie quarterback cam Ward
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: being named a team captain for the Tennessee Titans is
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: blank fill in the blank, all right, So this is
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the the word I will use on this is premature.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: It is a classic case of premature coronation syndrome. And
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: this is an example of given, not earn, given, noddern
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Now I am Benny Brightside. I want cam Ward to
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: be good because I have a feeling he's going to
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: help me out, that he's going to do things verbally
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: that are going to be good for talk radio. But
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the only reason, the only way, rather the only way
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: that really translates, is if he's good. If he's terrible,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: we'll just goof on him and he'll go away and
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: he'll be working in insurance somewhere in a couple of years.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: But Ward has been named the captain of the Tennessee
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Titans before he's even learned how to parallel park. There's
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: no parallel parking yet in the NFL, and he doesn't
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: know how to parallel park. He hasn't done anything. He
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: hasn't had a chance to do anything. So my default position,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: and this has been my default position on all rookie
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks since the beginning of time, that in two proven otherwise,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: cam Ward and all rookie quarterbacks have more question marks
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: than the nemesis of Batman the Riddler. Remember the costume
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the Riddler would wear. With all the other question marks,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions. And so I understand what
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: they're trying to do, and this is not gonna be
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the only one. You'll see a bunch of other like
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: what the f was that? How's that guy a captain?
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: But they're trying to manifest that this man's a leader.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: And it's like some vision boards, like a vision board
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: that's taped to the dorm room wall and all that.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Like it's one of those phrases. I'm going to speak
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: this into existence, they say, and it's going to happen.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: It's all I have to do is speak this into existence.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: That's it. And so the Titans, acting a little bit
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: like a Disney movie, if you believe hard enough that
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: cam Ward will become the leader that we need. Generally speaking,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: that's not how it works. That's not how any of
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: this works. So we can agree to differ on that
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: particular point. We'll see what happens. And I want to
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: point out again, I've got to get these monologues in
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: on these really bad teams, because once the season gets
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: going here, we'll not be talking about them unless it
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: gets even worse. They go, how low can you go? Right?
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: How low can you go? How far down can you go?
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: And the Suck Avenue? Where do Suck Avenue end? We'll
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: find out right, crank it up a couple of notches
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: and just see how far down Suck Avenue you can go.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahlor Show, The Ben Mahlor Show.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: As we are just getting started here, it's hour number two.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Later this hour we will have Mallard of the Third Degree.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: We'll have the Inch to Trivia coming up a little
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: bit later as well. We've got Bumpety Bump and the
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Candid Camera Store. I'm gonna get to that right now.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: The Candid Camera story. So Freddie Freeman is a baseball
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: player for the Dodgers. Kind of a big deal. He's
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: gonna be in the Hall of Fame someday. I won
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: a couple of world series, won some big honors individually.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: And Freddie Freeman was caught on camera during the Dodger
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Reds game back on Wednesday night at Chavez Ravine in
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the dust and he was very aggressively pulling a nosehair
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: out of his schnas and it was caught on camera.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: And I don't mean just a little kind of grab
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: the thing and then pull it lightly. I mean a
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: very aggressive snatching of the nosehair with two fingers. He
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: had his thumb and then he had his pointer finger
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and it he just ripped the hair right out of
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: his nose. Right now, I think that's supposed to cause
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: you to tear up a little bit. They moved the
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: camera away. They moved the camera away. I think it
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: generally leads you to sneeze, but I don't know what happened.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I'm also told they later on. I didn't see this,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: but somebody sent me a text that they showed Max Munci,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: who was trying to find some gold up his nostril.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: There.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: So a very good camera work at the Dodger game
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: last night. But Breddy Freeman, that is, Hey, you're watching
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: a ballgame the middle innings, you know you gotta get
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: that annoying hair, that loose hair in your nose, and
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: you just have to rip it out. And he ripped
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: it out, and it was caught on camera, and of
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: course it went immediately viral as people were fascinated that
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: he did not show any kind of pain when he
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: ripped that thing right out of his schnaz.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to it. Here we go, blah
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blahl.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: How about that to the third degree? This is one
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: big event. Gets grilled, crouple it.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: It was reported on Tuesday that the Commanders have the
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: oldest fifty three player roster in the NFL, while the
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Green Bay Packers have the youngest. Now, with both teams
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: featuring young up and coming quarterbacks, does this report prove
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: that the Packers are actually in a better spot right
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: now than the Commander.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Now, the numbers are skewed. I'll tell you why, Coop
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: they've got Bobby Wagner, who's really old, Von Miller, your
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: guy who's even older, and Zach Ertz, so excus the
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: whole roster math on that. I don't put too much
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: stock in the you know, the age game and all that.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: That's why they have three guys that are skewing the numbers.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: And so I don't think the problem with the Packers
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: is Jordan Love. That's the issue. Next.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: So, the Houston Astros are only one and a half
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: games ahead of the Seattle Mariners in the Al West,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: but did also just get back three time All Star
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: Jordan Alvarez. Ben, do you think the Astros will hold
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: off the Mariners?
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: No America needs Cal Roley, the big Dumper, to put
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: a big dump on the Astros. Everyone's pulling for the
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: team from the team from Seattle. So yes.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: Next, Freddie Freeman was interviewed and asked about being the
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: only three hundred hitter in the National League. He said
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: his goal is to hit three hundred every season, but
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: it's getting harder and harder because pitching is too good.
• 34:52
