  Speaker 1: learned it doesn't matter if they hate you or you
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: or they like you. As long as they listen, we
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: get the same credit. It's not like we get extra

• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Ben Maler shown Fox made possible by our friends at

  Speaker 1: ti iraq dot Com The Way Tire Buying Show be
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: so our lead this hour is from La La Land
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and update update. After refusing very oddly to answer questions
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: about the status of Matthew Stafford over the weekend, which
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: led some to conclude it wasn't good. It wasn't good.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The Rams broke their radio silence. Hellllelujah, helllllujah. So if
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you didn't see this or hear about it, maybe not.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: We've learned now that Super Bowl champion quarterback Matthew Stafford
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was a full participant. Oh my god, you saw that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: No full participant.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It's a shocking revelation. In the hour or so that
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: he did practice, he ran, wait for it, twenty six plays.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, in team drills twenty six place. Now
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Stafford his return of the field. This has been being
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: celebrated by many. This is a great sign. It's a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: great mitsfoot. Sean McVeigh, who did not comment over the weekend,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: McVeigh said Stafford quote look good in his return to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Ram workouts. This is the big injury storyline of the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: exhibition season. McVeigh also, though, said that the Rams will
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: continue to take things a day at a time. Well,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I always try to take things three or four days
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: at a time, but McVeigh is only going to take
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: it a day at a time. And in regarding these
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: status the back in injury of Matthew Stafford. So let
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question, how would you describe Sean mcvay's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: update on the health of Matthew Stafford with the rams.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this, I've got Midas, wedding invitations
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and sand castle and we'll mix all of these things
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: together and make some amazing sauce. Will it be barbecue sauce?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Will it be honey mustard sauce? To zeke sauce. We'll
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: just make some good sauce now. A my first reaction
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to the update on Matthew Stafford is what it is?
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: The plot thickens. It's like the old radio mystery theater
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: that I'm so old.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: When I was a kid, they still played reruns of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that and my dad used to listen.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: They love that, that mystery theater on the radio. They
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: used to do that at night.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And Sean McVay is giving us a whole lot of
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: of what that's right, a whole lot of nothing the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: old day by day, day by dayline now using the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Malar Rosetta stone. And if you do talk radio, you
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: need a Mallar Rosetta stone is what you need. So
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: we just go through coach speak, we dissect coach speak.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And what McVeigh said is the equivalent of when you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: visit Midas and the mechanics says, well, keep an eye
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: on it. Regarding Sean mcvay's like, the mechanics say, I mean,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: we're gonna keep an eye on that. It's like, no, pal,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I need the car to get me where I have
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to go to work, and I have to run some
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: errands and stuff like that, not to the junkyard. Okay,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want to have a tow truck. And McVeigh
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: says he doesn't, you know, he doesn't want to put
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the cart before the horse. That was one of the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: quotes I saw from mcvey's media session on Monday.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: And guess what.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: The cart is already wobbling, wobble, wobble, wobble. It's already wobbling.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: The horse looks like it's limping a little bit. It's
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: got a bad leg. You know what happens to horses
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that have bad legs, Elmer's glue. Yeah, that's right. And
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and mcvay's out there he's telling the fan base. He's like, hey, relax, relax,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: well see where this goes. We'll see where this goes.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: It's like turning on your car in the morning. I
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: used to have a car like this. My I inherited, well,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: my grandfather was told about his old car, and that
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: was like my first car, and I look really cool
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: because it's your car. Your first car is big thing.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Back when I'm so old, I used to like driving.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Like I guess the kids today don't want to even drive.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: They're like, I don't need to go anywhere.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I get them on my phone. I don't need to go.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: But I was like a big deal to drive.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And so I got my grandfather's car, and it looked
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: cool and it seemed like it was perfect, and it
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: didn't always start, and sometimes you turn on and make
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: that that, you know, kind of weird sound, and you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: trying to get the engine going and all that. And
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I don't live in a cold place.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I live in southern California. If I lived in like Appleton, Wisconsin,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and where my brother lives right now, my younger brother,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and then I'd think, Okay, it's a little cold. You
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: gotta warm the car up, like I don't. And and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: so some days it would start, and some days I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: did make the call of shame over to triple A
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and get them out there with the tow truck and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: all that stuff.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: But that's Stafford right now.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: That is essentially the life and times of Matthew Stafford.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: And remember a couple of weeks ago.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: The reason that this is so interesting in the mystery
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: of it all, is that the company line that was
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: being fed to useful idiots in the media. Remember Adam Schefter,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: for example, was parroting RAM officials saying, you know, nothing
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to worry about with Stafford, It's just a maintenance issue.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: There's zero panic in the RAMS organization. And now it
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: looks like the Rams are treating Matthew Stafford like a
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: piece of fine china, and you just don't breathe on
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: them too hard. He might crack, maybe break or toe.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: And the weekend silence, which turned out to be a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: case where it wasn't Stafford had a setback or anything
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: like that, but it's still a bad sign.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: It's still a bad sign. It's like he who.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Must not be discussed, like are you paying him forty
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: million or something like that a year, Matthew Stafford and
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you're tiptoeing around like he's a sleeping toddler, and you
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: don't want to wake him up. I mean, what you
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: do want to upset him? I was like, really, what
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is that about. We're nothing about a sore hamstring. Here
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: is not just sitting and let it rest a little bit.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: You're talking about the back. Oh my aching back, that's
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: what you talking about. And the back, as we have
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: pointed out in previous episodes of this radio show, the back,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and I'm not a doctor, but I can play one
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: on the radio, is the engine that everything is connected to.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Everything is connected to the back, right, and if your
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: back screwed up, your screwed. You're screwed. It's the engine.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: You mess with the back, everything shuts down everything. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the backup plan at this moment is the fellow rotting
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: carcass of Jimmy Garoppolo and Stets and Bennett. Now, I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: am confident whoever plays quarterback for the Rams, they'll win
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: at least ten games. The bar is ten. The defense
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: is good enough, they'll get good special teams. McVeigh knows
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: what he's doing. They'll win ten. The problem is, can
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you really catch lightning in a bottle and be a
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: legitimate contender. You have to downgrade cobbeusly the Rams, you
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: have to downgrade them until proven otherwise. And then the NFCS,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: which pretty wide open. Oh, Philadelphia's dynasty, now they're not.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: That was a nice year last year. Let's see what
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: they got this year, the Philadelphia Eagles. Anyway, So that's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the year with the Rams. And so for those of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you in the back of the room, a little slow
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: in the back of the room there when the Rams
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: say day to day, When McVeigh says day to day,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that to me, that is a dead give it dead
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: give it. That is code or we have no idea
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: if he's going to be able to play or not.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So we'll check back to my It's like the weather
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: in the Midwest, right, it's going to change.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Just wait a few minutes, it'll change. I'll just wait
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: a day. It'll check.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Now, speaking of the Midwest or the Atlantic States, well,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I guess it is the Midwest, but it's like the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: lowest kind of the border of the South. I've been told,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I've been yelled at by my friends that live in
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati that it is not the South. But yet when
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I visited the airport in Cincinnati, it was in Kentucky,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and I think of Kentucky as the South, but I
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: was told that Cincinnati is not a Southern city, so
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that would mean it's a Midwestern city.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I would assume.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we've learned the Bengals and passed Rusher Trey Hendrickson
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: have agreement. They have an agreement, well, not on an
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: actual contract. They have agreed though, on the length of
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the hypothetical contract. They've got the outline on how long
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the contract will be. They also know.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: The average annual salary. Well, that'll get you through the night.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Speaking during an absolute dreadful Monday night football exhibition game
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that had Fox refugees Joe Buck and Troy Aikman calling
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the game, Hendrickson on the broadcast confirmed that those are
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: dun skies. They have agreement. They have agreement based on
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: this update. I asked you on the esteem panel, I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: ask you, is the glass is it half full or
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: is it half empty? For Trey Hendrickson with the Bengals.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to go with half empty and cracked.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: That's what I wrote on my scorecard. Why could you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: say that you can't say that he's already got the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: agreement on the average annual salary and the years and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: that's a big thing.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, makes money.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Why I'm gonna, I'm gonna hold your hand and I'm
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: gonna I'm explaining to you like you're five years old. Okay,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the Bengals and Hendrickson have not agreed on the issue
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: of guaranteed money, which last I checked, is the most
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: important part of the deal. It's kind of like they're
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: at the point now where they have picked the font
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: for the wedding invitations. Congratulations, you know what fonts you're
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: going to use. Meanwhile, the bride and groom are fighting
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: over whether the file menon is on the menu or not,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: or do they go chicken and fish and avoid the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: filet mignon because that's more expensive. And then you've got
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the mashed potato option and the green beans, but who
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: wants green beans? And you have those annoying napkins that
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: are decorated and folded in special ways. So they've got that,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: but the main course, no, no, no, that's guaranteed money, and
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: so that's still frozen. They're not sure what they're gonna
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: take out of the freezer. They don't know what they're gonna.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Do, And it's.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Like agreeing to build a house and then refusing, for
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: no apparent reason, refusing to pour the foundation for the house.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, yeah, we got the blueprints. We got
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the blueprints ready to go. We picked the paint color,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and we went out and we bought some throw pillows.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: So we've got that for the house. We're ready to go.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And we've got a coffee book table, and so we
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: don't have a coffee table'll get that next. And the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: concrete though for the foundation, the thing that holds up
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the entire damn the house, I don't know about that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if we want to do that or not.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: We don't know we have a foundation or not. And
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: that is the Bengal wait. That is what they do.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: The Bengals have a stance. They do not provide secured
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: guaranteed money after the first season of the contract. So
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that has created a impass, and so they continue to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: be an impass, which leads me to despite the average
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: annual salary being agreed to, and despite Hendrickson indicating the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: amount of years has been agreed to, it doesn't mean anything.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: The most important thing is the guaranteed money. Everything else
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: is fluff. That's it is cotton, candy and that's it
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: all right, now, last word and then we'll get some
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: calls and some nonsense. Here we go to San Francisco.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Positive reports, boots on the ground. This did not come
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: from Ernesto, the longtime forty nine or apologist, but it
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: did come from one of our listeners that listens in
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the Bay area who said, Hey, mister ramfan, he sent
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: me a message that and I'm paraphrasing here. I did
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: not write it down, but Mike is the guy's name,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and it was somewhere in the Bay Area, I forget where,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and he was saying, is that well, Matthew Stafford's hurt.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: But the Niners have McCaffrey back. They have him back,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: positive reports The Athletic the old Gray Lady behind a
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: pay wall telling us that if forty nine Ers star
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is not back to his twenty twenty three form,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: he's pretty close. Mike was very excited about this report,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: so he passed it on to me.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Again.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: If forty nine er star Christian McCaffrey is not back
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to his twenty twenty three form, which he was an
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: MVP type player, he's pretty c close to it, believe
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: it or not. So I'm gonna answer it this way. True,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: perhaps irrelevant, though true, perhaps irrelevant though And here's why
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I have this in the basket that I wrote.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I wrote on the basket, supter.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Fuge is what I wrote on the basket, like you're
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: selling the idea that McCaffrey is still the same guy
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: right now starting the year. Look he's starting the year.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: He's healthy, he's great, he's fine. And to that, I say, whoop,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: d damn do. That's what I say, whooped, damn do.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: The whole issue with this guy has never really been
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: week one. It's week nine, it's week ten, it's week thirteen.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: It's being a dependable, reliable workhorse. Outside of a brief
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: stretch which was a magical run of greatness like a
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: VDO game cheat code, Christian McCaffrey has been more like
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: a sand castle, a professionally made sand castle. And if
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: you've ever seen one, they're majestic. You're like, Wow, that
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: was made out of sand. How did someone do that?
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: That is so artistic, It is so amazing, It is beautiful.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: You stare at it, you look at the ocean in
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the background. You're like, this is the greatest thing. How
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: did they do this, I can't believe it. What a
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: great talent that is. And it looks really great. And
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: then what happens? The tide rises and where does that
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: sand castle go? Right back to the beach? How all
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that saying comes washing? It's washed away? And that's it.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: And you look at the Niners, two and a hater.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: This is a teetering on the brink situation because you
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: got you paid Rock Party.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: You had to pay me. Oh my god, you had to.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Pay so you paid them? Fine, okay, great, it's a
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: multi billion dollar business. You paid Rock Party and so
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: he got paid. Are you about to get played here?
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: He's a system guy. Even the biggest brock Purty suck
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: ups will admit to you he's a system guy. And
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: that means he's going to lean on Christian McCaffrey and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: George Kittle and got rid of some of their other
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: playmakers and the other guys are hurt. So those are
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the guys are gonna lean on until they come tumbling down, down, down,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: down down. And Kyle Shanahan's offense with brock Purty, it
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: is a training wheels offense and it'll work fine until
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the playmakers end up in the injury tent and they're
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: roasting marshmallows and making s'mores around.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: The fire while the games are going on. And then
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: brock Purty is.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Exposed, and then all of a sudden, it's like, well,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, I thought Shanahan's system was gonna be okay.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: And then well you paid them all this money and
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: he's a turn Burger brock Purty. And then questions will
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: start about Kyle Shanahan, did they miss their opportunity? Yes,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: they did, and they didn't win the championship. They got
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, they had a championship level team.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: They failed, so therefore what are.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: We doing here?
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: And then those kind of storylines will start popping up.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about any of that, you are

• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Don't worry, don't worry, it's just Tay the top.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Bill writes in, and he's very upset that we correctly
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: called brock Purty a system quarterback. Seems that Bill has
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the IQ of a goldfish and can't understand what that means.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: He's probably not that bright, and he's drinking, and I'm
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: assuming I don't know for sure.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Oh got it?
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Well, he says, he writes in, He says, a system
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: quarterback biggest.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Idiot term of all time. What else are quarterback supposed
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: to be?
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I want these clowns to go on the air with
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Manning Monday Night, the Alt Cast and have that conversation.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: That phrase is such a lack of thinking. It's crazy.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Let's draft a nonsystem non team quarterback. Well, Bill's done
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: a lot in that post on social media.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: The show.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Bill has exposed him. He's out of himself, he's out
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: of the closet. He's a fan of fanboy Manning cast coverage,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: which is just grab ass. So Bill, I don't know
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: why you're listening to this show. We don't do grab
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: ass here, Bill. So if you like that grab ass
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: jock talk, then the Manning cast is for you.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: That is the way to go. Bill.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: You've just admitted you don't know anything about sports. You're
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: into the Manning cast. But I'm embarrassed for you. It's
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: wrong with you, Bill, you loser. And I'll explain this
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: to you. I don't know why I have to explain this.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like your old man, Bill, you should know this.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Shame on you. There are certain quarterbacks that are not
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: system quarterbacks, guys like I don't know, Mahomes, Joe Burrow,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, those guys Josh Allen that proven not to
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: be system quarterbacks. Then you have quarterbacks who are system quarterbacks,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: which are dependent. They don't make players around them better. Bill,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: You dope, they don't make people around you better. They
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: are requiring the playmakers.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: Shame.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: That's Brock. That is Brock Parday. And by the way,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Eli Manning.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Eli Manning a system quarterback. Mediocre Eli Manning. That's it right,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Mediocre Eli. That that's a fact. I know you don't
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: want to hear that.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: That is a fact.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. I am not kidd Egg what else
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: do we have you let's see what other idiots wrote it.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Nature Boy writes in answering the Call of the whild
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: he says, what is up with the Viking cheerleaders?
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: I am listen? What do you want me to do?
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: It's obviously some kind of mandate from the NFL, the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: as many dudes as cheerleaders. I don't know anyone male
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: or female. It's that we need more men as cheerleaders.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: So what do you want me to say? I mean,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not gonna pay attention. I don't I
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: don't watch, I'm not going I go to games occasionally,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and uh, and that's it.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: But what do you want me to do? The ram?
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Yes? Can I just say something? My brother was a
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: male cheerleader, okay, okay, And I don't think the problem
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: is male cheerleaders. What is the What is the problem?
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I think it's it's the skirt part. Well, it's the
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: it's the pop part.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Like, well, I think the issue is, uh, basically they
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: were when I was a kid, there were male Yeah, exactly,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: male cheerleaders.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: But they were masculine male cheerleaders, right, they were not
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: feminine male where people are like posting, what's that movie
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: that Adam Sandler does right where they're in jail and
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: they have the cheerleaders on the sidelines. Yeah, the longest
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: you are long as whatever? Sure, yeah, so that's what
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: everyone's posting memes about. That's what it's giving them. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: that's whatever.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: People are all worked up, and it's it's kind of
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: obvious that it's I don't think this happened organically. I
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: don't think that the NFL all these teams randomly decided
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: let's have very effeminine male cheerleaders. I think they just
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: there's some you know, message that's trying to be sent
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: out by the NFL, right, and they're trying to send
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that out, and it just happened. Of course, the Rams
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: have had a feminine male cheerleader for at least a
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: couple of years and all that, and I don't pay
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: attention to it.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: I know it's not for me. I don't really care.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know those teams that don't have cheerleaders
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: and they seem to be going fine, you know, they
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: don't have their their thing and so, but people love
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: getting worked up into a tizzy about this stuff, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: so that's that. I don't know what else I can add.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, if there's anything else you want me to say,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I feel free to call up and stream and shout.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: But I keep getting emails. Why didn't you do a
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: monologue about the feminine male cheerleaders? I'm like, well, what
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: do you want me to say?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: That's not I'm not in What are you supposed to do?
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not I didn't decide. I didn't decide to hire them.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: It's not for me. I like the hot female cheerleaders,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: but that's what I like. If you're you know, a
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: gay guy and you like a feminine men, I guess
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: they're into that. That's good for you, but it's not
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: for me. So anyway, Femi Rights is not attracted to women.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Oh well, I mean that was edited clearly Femi rights
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: and says men with these back to back monologues on Stafford,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: is this your therapy? Knowing the Rams going to suck
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: this season? The magic may just have expired. Well, Femi,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: don't force me, Femi to put the Vodo bugaloo on
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy because if anyone, if anyone had the magic,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: it was the Vikings who had the greatest regular season
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: you can possibly have with a suckbag quarterback in Sam Darnell. Okay,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: so don't sit here and tell me Femi, well, the
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: ram magic may have just expired. You used all your
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: magic beans in Minnesota last season with Sam Darnald, you did.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: That's the reality of the situation.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Robin Minnesota says, I know you don't do shout outs,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: but I am retiring. I've been working night since nineteen
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: ninety three. I don't know how I would have survived
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the last fifteen years without the Ben Mather Show. I
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: go on vacation to Saratoga tomorrow, but when I come back,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I'll always be well. Rob, congratulations on making it to
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the end of your working career. Good job by you,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: and I hope you enjoy your retirement.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Rob, and I don't know if you're going to stay
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: up late and still interact.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Rob's were one of the great live contributors to the show,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: and often what happened since it was going the boys
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: retire and they some of them stay up late, they
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: keep the weird hours and then other times not so much.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if we'll hear from Rob much anymore.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: But Rob, I think it was great meeting you at
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the mallor meet and greet in Minnesota. Enjoy Saratoga And
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you'd be traveling all over the place, right
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: You live in Minnesota, so anytime in the wintertime, that's
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: what you go on vacation.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: You get out of there, you get out of there.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Ferg Dog says, I'm guessing, Lorna, your brother was a
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: cheerleader to hit on the girls, not to put on
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: a skirt and dance with him.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you could say that's probably why he was a male.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Stripper too, but really male stripper interesting Chippendale's type thing.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I never went and saw was he a Remember.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: That there was an old movie before you were around
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: male Jigglow.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: It was more like magic. It was more like magic
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Mike for sure. Magic, Okay, shape guy and all that.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you made good money, that's for sure.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I've not dabbled in that word, but I've heard stories
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: as a male stripper you actually get more business from
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: men than men.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he had sugar daddies for sure.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Which it must be awkward because you probably go into
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: it if you're you know in it, you think, well,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: women are you know all that?
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: And then you'd assume the more dudes.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: But yeah, all right, let's go to Let's go to Peru.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: It says on my board Peru. So we'll say hello
