2:06
Speaker 1: back to the collegiate basketball at some point here as
2:09
Speaker 1: we're down to the sweet sixteen, and everyone chames you
2:12
Speaker 1: if you pick chalk. But if you pick chalk, you're
2:14
Speaker 1: doing very well. If you pick chalk, you're doing very
2:16
Speaker 1: well in the NCAA tournament. But our leaders from football
2:20
Speaker 1: in the berg and while you were away, well you
2:23
Speaker 1: might have been here, but we weren't here. We were
2:25
Speaker 1: away from the guard shack, as we have the watch
2:28
Speaker 1: tower overlooking the sports world in the middle of the night,
2:31
Speaker 1: the graveyard shift and we do the podcast on the weekends,
2:35
Speaker 1: and so we're not manning the fortnite. I did mention
2:38
Speaker 1: a heavy sporty monologue on Saturday reacting to the death
2:42
Speaker 1: of George Foreman over the weekend, the Foreman grill will
2:45
Speaker 1: live on forever, and well not forever, but for a while.
2:49
Speaker 1: And then also some of the NFL news. But we
2:51
Speaker 1: have a time to go a little deeper, and it's
2:52
Speaker 1: missed some new developments here involving Aaron Rogers, who had
2:57
Speaker 1: a clandestine trip to western Pennsylvania in a not so
3:03
Speaker 1: not so private get together, very public, very public. Right
3:07
Speaker 1: there at the confluence of the Manhangahila and the Alleghany,
3:11
Speaker 1: the creation of the Ohio River. There was Aaron Rodgers
3:15
Speaker 1: in all his goy So if you've not heard the
3:17
Speaker 1: latest on this, some new developments over the weekend, we're
3:20
Speaker 1: now hearing that it appears to be green light, go
3:26
Speaker 1: stay tuned safe. Bet is the way it's being described
3:29
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers, it is anticipated, will sign a contract
3:34
Speaker 1: to play professional football with the Pittsburgh Football team. Say
3:39
Speaker 1: why yeah, The reporting over the weekend, if you missed it,
3:43
Speaker 1: is that Aaron Rodgers is going to end up with
3:47
Speaker 1: the Steelers. He's forty one. He spent six hours. Can
3:50
Speaker 1: you imagine six hours? What do you do for six.
3:54
Speaker 1: You look at the weight room, Okay, what's that? Take
3:56
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. You go look at the facilities. Okay, you
3:59
Speaker 1: look at the urine. Okay, there's a urinal cake in there.
4:01
Speaker 1: That takes another twenty minutes. You meet with the coach
4:04
Speaker 1: for about an hour. You have lunch. That's an hour.
4:07
Speaker 1: What are we at? Maybe three hours? Six hours? What
4:10
Speaker 1: are you doing for six hours? What the hell are
4:12
Speaker 1: you doing?
4:13
Speaker 2: All right?
4:13
Speaker 1: Anyway, so let us discuss the question, how do you
4:16
Speaker 1: assess the latest developments between Aaron Rogers and Petsburg Steelers.
4:26
Speaker 1: So I've got Buzz light Year Registry and Vin Diesel,
4:32
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
4:37
Speaker 1: we are going to make a delicious pastrami sandwich, which
4:43
Speaker 1: I believe I've mastered the pastrami sandwich. I made one
4:46
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Chef's kiss. Just a chef's kiss is
4:49
Speaker 1: what it was, all right? So numb I said number,
4:54
Speaker 1: get a number. So we are heading towards a water.
5:00
Speaker 1: We know where we're going here, and our long national
5:04
Speaker 1: nightmare is inching closer to a resolution. Now part of
5:08
Speaker 1: me loves this because I have a lot of people
5:12
Speaker 1: in my circle that are fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers
5:15
Speaker 1: and also people that like to take shots at Aaron Rodgers,
5:18
Speaker 1: and so to see these two worlds collide, I'm just
5:22
Speaker 1: gonna sit back with a big bucket of popcorn and
5:24
Speaker 1: just enjoy the show buttered popcorn and just enjoy joy
5:28
Speaker 1: Shore Now. Am I beyond maybe sending a insightful or
5:34
Speaker 1: leading message to these people that are Steeler friends? Eh, well,
5:38
Speaker 1: you're gonna get your Aaron Rodgers jersey. You go to
5:40
Speaker 1: knock yourself out there. Yeah, but my theory is concept.
5:45
Speaker 1: But you don't go to Pittsburgh in the months of
5:47
Speaker 1: March and the month of March unless you're ready to
5:51
Speaker 1: not sign on the dotted line, but do the docu sign.
5:55
Speaker 1: Unless you're ready to do the docu sign. It's a
5:57
Speaker 1: matter of when it happens, not if it's going to happen.
6:01
Speaker 1: At this particular point, there's really no other good options.
6:03
Speaker 1: The giants blow, the vikings don't really seem all in.
6:08
Speaker 1: So it's unless something magical pops out of thin air.
6:13
Speaker 1: That's it. Right. There has been a public bromance. What up, bro,
6:18
Speaker 1: There's been a bromance between Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin.
6:21
Speaker 1: That has played out for a couple of years. But
6:23
Speaker 1: if you look at the Steelers and what they have
6:26
Speaker 1: done now, I would argue the last couple of years
6:28
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger was there, he was a turd that he
6:31
Speaker 1: went very good. But if you look overall Pittsburgh the
6:35
Speaker 1: last couple of years they had Roethlisberger, It's continued through
6:38
Speaker 1: the Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph that directly put out there
6:44
Speaker 1: last year with Justin Fields, and also mister unlimited Russell Wilson.
6:50
Speaker 1: That has been a temporary job. The Pittsburgh quarterback job
6:54
Speaker 1: is a temp job, and so you put Aaron Rodgers
6:56
Speaker 1: out there, it's a big name, it's an MVP name,
6:59
Speaker 1: but in reality, it is another buzz light Year band aid.
7:03
Speaker 1: It's a little kid's band aid with that buzz light
7:05
Speaker 1: Year on it, and that's what it is. It's a turnstop.
7:09
Speaker 1: That job is a turnstile job at this particular point,
7:12
Speaker 1: which is fine. They keep making the playoffs there. Rogers
7:15
Speaker 1: did an absolute belly whopper with the Jets, and now
7:20
Speaker 1: here we are. He's a year older, forty one at
7:23
Speaker 1: this point, he looks to be on the other side
7:27
Speaker 1: of the wash the other side of the tracks and
7:31
Speaker 1: it's not going well. But I love it. I love it.
7:35
Speaker 1: The Steelers are a high profile team, even though you
7:38
Speaker 1: say Pittsburgh's not a big market. That is one of
7:40
Speaker 1: the legacy teams in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers that
7:43
Speaker 1: have fans everywhere. I know when the Steelers, I can
7:46
Speaker 1: do the show from Los Angeles. When the Steelers come
7:47
Speaker 1: to LA they might as well be in Pittsburgh. It
7:51
Speaker 1: is a packed house of Yinzer lovers there, and that's
7:55
Speaker 1: everywhere the Steelers go. They're one of the great draws
7:58
Speaker 1: on the road that fans all over the place, still
8:01
Speaker 1: benefiting from Terry Bradshaw and the nineteen seventies Steel Curtain
8:06
Speaker 1: defense back in the day. So they've got that. The
8:09
Speaker 1: generations of fans for the Pittsburgh sities, we get that.
8:12
Speaker 1: So it's a highly combustible situation, which is good for
8:16
Speaker 1: people like me. You look at it and you've got
8:20
Speaker 1: the long in the tooth quarterback who still thinks he
8:23
Speaker 1: can play in Aaron Rodgers. He's the agent provocateur. You've
8:27
Speaker 1: got the firebrand quarterback mixed with the long tenured coach
8:33
Speaker 1: who's got Supreme Justice Supreme Court Justice tenure in Mike Tomlin.
8:40
Speaker 1: You mix together the polarizing look at me wide receiver
8:45
Speaker 1: George Pickens, who now has to take a back seat
8:47
Speaker 1: to another devil wide receiver, DK Metcalf who got the bag.
8:52
Speaker 1: Both those guys are capable of dominating, absolutely dominating, and
8:56
Speaker 1: also dominating in a negative way. So you got the
8:59
Speaker 1: yinn and wide receiver, and you've got all these ingredients,
9:04
Speaker 1: and I'm down for it. I'm in, I'm in. And
9:07
Speaker 1: the reason why I have a daily talk show I
9:09
Speaker 1: have to do every night, I have to come in here.
9:11
Speaker 1: I have four hours of talk radio I have to do.
9:13
Speaker 1: And it's more fun when you have this type of situation.
9:17
Speaker 1: If it works, mozletom, congratulations, right, if it works, good
9:21
Speaker 1: for you. Black and yellow, black and yellow, black and
9:23
Speaker 1: yellow and all that playoff win here, there and everywhere,
9:28
Speaker 1: and whoop, be damned Fluke run to the plubs now
9:30
Speaker 1: if it flops. If it flops, great for guest baggery.
9:35
Speaker 1: It is a situation. If you look at it from
9:38
Speaker 1: the outside, it's you've got inflammatory comments, guarantee, right, guarantee.
9:44
Speaker 1: Because every every week Rogers will hang out with Pat
9:48
Speaker 1: McAfee they'll do their little grab ass. He'll maybe do
9:51
Speaker 1: a couple of Joe Rogan interviews as spots and say
9:55
Speaker 1: something zany and crazy and all that, and then Mike
9:57
Speaker 1: Tomlin will be asked to comment about what Rogers said,
10:00
Speaker 1: and then Tom's not gonna want to comment, so we'll
10:02
Speaker 1: say some stupid thing, and then that'll then go to
10:05
Speaker 1: Rogers and what was your Tomlins said? And then they'll
10:07
Speaker 1: go back and forth, and it's a win win situation
10:10
Speaker 1: from a content standpoint, it's a win win all right. Now,
10:13
Speaker 1: page two, so can you explain the other quarterback here?
10:18
Speaker 1: Can you explain what is happening in Russell Wilson's universe,
10:24
Speaker 1: his free agent sojourn, his journey around the NFL. So
10:29
Speaker 1: on this one, I'm relating to Russell Wilson because I
10:33
Speaker 1: know what it's like to be picked last. I know
10:36
Speaker 1: what it's like. That's what Russell Wilson's going through. Welcome
10:38
Speaker 1: to my world, Russ, Welcome to my world, mister last
10:42
Speaker 1: picked on the playground. I know what that's like. I
10:45
Speaker 1: know what that's like, Russ. And that's reality. That is
10:48
Speaker 1: the situation that Russell Wilson's in. He is a declining asset,
10:53
Speaker 1: and he's he's never never was an MVP level player,
10:57
Speaker 1: never got a single vote for the Most Valuable Player award.
11:00
Speaker 1: There's always a guy that benefited from being on a
11:02
Speaker 1: great defensive with a great defensive team in Seattle, the
11:05
Speaker 1: Legion of Boom and all that stuff. But right now
11:07
Speaker 1: he finds himself on the registry. He is on the
11:10
Speaker 1: do not call registry. And that's the way it is
11:14
Speaker 1: right now. As Sean Payton and Mike Tomlin, Sean Payton
11:17
Speaker 1: the last year Russ was in Denver and Tomlin last
11:19
Speaker 1: year were able to hide the many moles, the warts
11:24
Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson in his game has And the real
11:29
Speaker 1: ones know, though, the real ones know that Russ was toast.
11:33
Speaker 1: And you can only put so much lipstick on to
11:37
Speaker 1: cover up the many flaws and the imperfections and all
11:39
Speaker 1: that stuff, and at some point you just look like
11:42
Speaker 1: a clown and it's just not good at all. And
11:45
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has met with the Browns, speaking of clowns,
11:50
Speaker 1: they met with the Browns and also the Giants, another
11:52
Speaker 1: clown operation. They're the New York Giants. And so mister unlimited,
11:56
Speaker 1: fair to say, is not in demand. You don't get
11:59
Speaker 1: all warm and fuzzy. You don't win the day when
12:02
Speaker 1: you hire Russell Wilson, who's washed up as your quarterback.
12:06
Speaker 1: That is not something that happens these types of aging
12:11
Speaker 1: or quarterback that doesn't want to give it up. A
12:13
Speaker 1: diamond doesn't. Diamond doesn't. And so but Russell will get
12:17
Speaker 1: a job somewhere, whether it's right now, or somebody gets
12:21
Speaker 1: hurt during the off season or in training camp, someone
12:24
Speaker 1: will bring bring him in now. Final point, So the
12:28
Speaker 1: ben Gals, that's a football team, not a good one.
12:32
Speaker 1: They didn't make the playoffs last year. So Cincinnati wide
12:34
Speaker 1: receiver Jamar Chase, he apparently read this over the week
12:38
Speaker 1: and he bought his They say he bought it. I
12:40
Speaker 1: don't know if he rented it or bought it. There's
12:41
Speaker 1: different reports. One report said he rented it, another said
12:43
Speaker 1: he bought the Lamborghini. I guess there's video of him
12:46
Speaker 1: saying he bought it. But after he signed that record
12:50
Speaker 1: setting contract, highest paid wide receiver in NFL history. So
12:54
Speaker 1: there was some video posted on the socials that showed
12:57
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase zooming around the streets of Miami, which I've
13:02
Speaker 1: been to Miami. You can't really drive that fast in Miami,
13:06
Speaker 1: but he was zooming around or trying to with teammate
13:09
Speaker 1: T Higgins. And your thoughts on the viral video which
13:14
Speaker 1: has made the rounds here of the Bengals wide receivers
13:18
Speaker 1: enjoying a nice, leisurely drive around South Florida. So my
13:23
Speaker 1: first thought was Vin Diesel Baby, that's Vin Diesel Fast
13:27
Speaker 1: and the Furious, like thirty three. I think they're up
13:29
Speaker 1: to thirty three now, just that was what it was.
13:33
Speaker 1: And I also thought of the movie that I saw
13:35
Speaker 1: years ago, the documentary Bankrupt. I thought of that, and
13:40
Speaker 1: people say that a fool and his money are soon parted.
13:44
Speaker 1: But it's possible the just rented to cars. I'm not
13:46
Speaker 1: sure whether they rented them or bought them. And they
13:48
Speaker 1: bought them, then you can goof on them and you know, hey,
13:51
Speaker 1: that's the way it goes. But that Lamborghini that's a
13:55
Speaker 1: five hundred thou minimum five hundred thousand of it's new,
14:00
Speaker 1: so that's half a million right there, plus the insurance
14:02
Speaker 1: on that, get maintenance, good luck on that. What could
14:06
Speaker 1: possibly go wrong? And they look like the other cars
14:09
Speaker 1: were McLaren's in the video that I saw, I'm a
14:12
Speaker 1: car guy, car guy, so I thought McLaren's possibly there,
14:17
Speaker 1: And hey, you know, as the line goes, we all
14:20
Speaker 1: know this as dudes. You know, we grow older and
14:24
Speaker 1: we don't stop playing with toys. The toys just get
14:26
Speaker 1: more expensive. They're bigger and more expensive the older you get,
14:29
Speaker 1: and that's just the way life is. And then you
14:31
Speaker 1: check out and that's it game over all right. It
14:33
Speaker 1: is the bed mash. But as long as those guys
14:35
Speaker 1: are not going full like Oakland, Las Vegas Raider wide
14:38
Speaker 1: receiver guy, you know what I'm saying, And you know,
14:41
Speaker 1: smashing in any cars and killing people and whatever, go ahead,
14:45
Speaker 1: knock yourself out, have a fine time. My money, all right,
14:48
Speaker 1: is the bed at Malor Show. If you would like
14:50
Speaker 1: to be part of this, you can join us right now.
14:54
Speaker 1: And there's a line open at eight seven seven ninety

Speaker 1: six three sixty nine. Also on the X Machine at
15:07
Speaker 1: Ben Mahlor. That's at benmes. So it's not a done
15:10
Speaker 1: done deal that Rogers is going to Pittsburgh, but it's
15:13
Speaker 1: like a half halfway done, not quite out of the
15:15
Speaker 1: oven yet, but it's almost out of the oven. It's
15:18
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. And moving on from that, well,
15:22
Speaker 1: there is a saying that when you ban something, it
15:25
Speaker 1: becomes more popular. We'll see if that's true. If you
15:28
Speaker 1: ban something it becomes more popular. We'll get to that
15:31
Speaker 1: and we will do it next.

Speaker 1: that I like the modern version and sola Coop at
16:29
Speaker 1: uh Bronco fan. That's u age Bronco fan. Your comments
16:34
Speaker 1: can and we'll be used against you in the court
16:36
Speaker 1: of sports talk radio, so send comments in aware you
16:43
Speaker 1: are incriminating yourself. And right now back to it, Benny Blabermouth, Well,
16:48
Speaker 1: it's actually just Ben or Benny on the TV thing,
16:52
Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny. As we are rolling on here
16:55
Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen. If you like Southeastern Conference teams, you're
16:59
Speaker 1: really in joining this Sweet sixteen. Seven of the sixteen
17:02
Speaker 1: teams from the Southeastern Conference and we are in the
17:07
Speaker 1: era of the death Valley for the mid major in
17:10
Speaker 1: college basketball. We began this hour with Air and Rogers,
17:15
Speaker 1: not quite breaking news yet, but it's upside down and
17:19
Speaker 1: the anticipation is something happening soon. Keep in mind, though,
17:22
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, he's probably gonna go back to Malibu
17:25
Speaker 1: and walk up and down, have a jug of ayahuasca.
17:32
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll pop up on the Joe Rogan podcast. Well,
17:34
Speaker 1: I assume he'll make the announcement with his buddy McAfee,
17:37
Speaker 1: who pays him like a million dollars a year to
17:39
Speaker 1: go on there. So I if somebody paid me a
17:41
Speaker 1: million dollars a year to do a ten minute hit
17:43
Speaker 1: on a radio show, I would certainly announce my plans
17:46
Speaker 1: on that show. That would be my move one hundred percent.
17:50
Speaker 1: So I assume that he'll announce it when he does
17:53
Speaker 1: hammer out the details on the docu sign, he'll announce
17:56
Speaker 1: it there. We'll take your calls eight seven seven ninety
17:59
Speaker 1: nine on Fox. Also your witty comments, as we said
18:02
Speaker 1: on the X Machine, that's at Ben Mahler. That's at
18:07
Speaker 1: Ben Mahler if you'd like to be part and Late
18:10
Speaker 1: Night Drug Tester writes In says Aaron Rogers deva act
18:14
Speaker 1: will not play in Pittsburgh, no matter how desperate they
18:16
Speaker 1: are for a quarterback. No, I disagree. I disagree. It'll
18:23
Speaker 1: play as long as they're okay, as long as he's
18:26
Speaker 1: They put up with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, who
18:29
Speaker 1: both suck, all right, so deal with it. Alf the
18:34
Speaker 1: Alien of Pinter, has a fun fact he'd like to
18:36
Speaker 1: a fun fact, fun fact, fun fact, fun.
18:38
Speaker 2: Fact, mallor fun fact.
18:40
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty eight, Wade Boggs had more doubles then
18:45
Speaker 1: swings and misses for the Boston Red Sox. That is
18:48
Speaker 1: your fun fact right there from from Alf. And also
18:52
Speaker 1: was that when he was dating Margot Adams. There's a
18:55
Speaker 1: name from the past and eating a lot of time.
18:58
Speaker 3: Right.
18:58
Speaker 1: No, no, no, this is the There was a pre
19:01
Speaker 1: social media scandal that only old people know about. But
19:04
Speaker 1: Wade Boggs was like this big star with the Red
19:06
Speaker 1: Sox and he was having a little side fun with
19:09
Speaker 1: this woman. Oh see yeah, Nick writes in Nick the
19:13
Speaker 1: Windy's Guy. He says, hey, buddy, Ben, Buddy, it's Nick
19:16
Speaker 1: the Windy's Guy here. I know you bash Minnesota. I
19:19
Speaker 1: do not bash Minnesota teams, But do you see the
19:22
Speaker 1: Vikings making a push for Justin Herbert or as that
19:26
Speaker 1: ship sailed? I saw that rumor over the weekend some
19:30
Speaker 1: Viking blog or Minnesota sports blog was tossing out there.
19:34
Speaker 1: That same rumor popped up a year ago because two reasons.
19:39
Speaker 1: Jim Harball is, even though he's not at Michigan anymore,
19:42
Speaker 1: he's a Michigan man, and he supposedly had a big
19:44
Speaker 1: bro man. It's not supposedly he did with JJ McCarthy.
19:48
Speaker 1: And so it is a logical rumor, and I wouldn't
19:54
Speaker 1: say it's impossible. Listen, the Dallas Mavericks gave away Luca
19:57
Speaker 1: Donzik for a half eaten bag of potato chips, So
20:01
Speaker 1: if that can happen. Sure the Chargers could wake up
20:04
Speaker 1: and say we're gonna trade Justin Herbert to the Vikings
20:06
Speaker 1: and give us JJ McCarthy and a first round pick
20:10
Speaker 1: and maybe two first round picks. Now would Minnesota do it?
20:14
Speaker 1: Because I look at a guy like Herbert as a
20:17
Speaker 1: stat bandito, as a West Coast Dak Prescott. He's not
20:21
Speaker 1: a big game player. He's been a terrible playoff quarterback
20:25
Speaker 1: and then a few opportunities he's had for the Chargers
20:27
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and he's a guy that when you watch
20:30
Speaker 1: him on Sunday Night, Chris Collinsworth slobbers all over him, slopper, slapber, slobber,
20:34
Speaker 1: but he doesn't produce against better opponents. There's a lot
20:38
Speaker 1: of empty numbers there with Justin Herbert. If I were
20:41
Speaker 1: the Chargers, I would absolutely make that trade. If hardball
20:44
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh is totally sold on JJ McCarthy and that
20:49
Speaker 1: that's his guy, and he just coached Justin Herbert for
20:52
Speaker 1: a year and knows this guy's a mister softy and
20:55
Speaker 1: would rather be out there surfing, then I would absolutely
20:58
Speaker 1: make If I was the Charge, does I make that trade?
21:00
Speaker 1: I don't know how to make that trader on the
21:01
Speaker 1: Vikings though. I mean her Roe put up great numbers.
21:04
Speaker 1: Anybody in Minnesota is gonna put up great numbers because
21:07
Speaker 1: you've got two stud wide receivers. It's impossible to not
21:13
Speaker 1: put up. Sam Darnald put up good numbers with those
21:17
Speaker 1: wide receivers. And then what happened at the end when
21:20
Speaker 1: Sam Donald had to step up his game a little
21:22
Speaker 1: bit and suddenly he pooped the bed. It's called the phones,
21:26
Speaker 1: and let's say hello, any meaning money mo Let's hello
21:29
Speaker 1: to Jerome and Charleston. Hello Jerome, it's been a minute.
21:33
Speaker 1: Hello Jerome, Jerome and Charleston going once, going to I
21:39
Speaker 1: do not hear Jerome and Charleston. No, there he is,
21:43
Speaker 1: Oh man, thank god Hellelujah. Oh look at that. He
21:49
Speaker 1: took a shot. Jerome took a shot at the RAINA.
21:52
Speaker 4: I'm like, why isn't he on six?
21:55
Speaker 1: You might want to put that up there. That's usually
21:57
Speaker 1: the way that you have.
22:01
Speaker 5: Sam will get like thirty something million dollars before the
22:03
Speaker 5: guarantees kicking. For Hey, he's not doing too bad. I
22:07
Speaker 5: hope he watched a lot of rains because I heard it.
22:09
Speaker 5: It raised a lot up there in Seattle. You know.
22:13
Speaker 1: It raised a lot of a lot of places you having.
22:16
Speaker 5: Do you have somebody on the side then, because you
22:19
Speaker 5: seem to know about people's personal life and who the
22:22
Speaker 5: what they're doing on the side a lot.
22:24
Speaker 3: You know.
22:24
Speaker 5: How do you know this stuff? Man?
22:27
Speaker 1: Because he was in a newspaper forty years ago. That's
22:30
Speaker 1: how I know. I read it in a newspaper article
22:32
Speaker 1: and there was a lawsuit from the woman against like
22:34
Speaker 1: Wade bogs That's how I know it, and I remember
22:37
Speaker 1: it to have because I have a good memory chicken
22:41
Speaker 1: every day because I heard some Yeah. Wait, wait, Wade
22:44
Speaker 1: Boggs was famous for eating chicken every day. He was
22:46
Speaker 1: like that was his thing.
22:48
Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, if you were talking about these
22:50
Speaker 5: players selling themselves to these different schools for money, oh,
22:54
Speaker 5: where have you lived the last two hundred years, Dan Maller?
22:57
Speaker 5: People have been doing that for forevers themselves for money.
23:01
Speaker 5: Somebody needn't tell their body.
23:03
Speaker 1: Come on, all right, I'm glad, Jerome, the meds are
23:08
Speaker 1: not working anymore, Jerome. But that that make explain something
23:10
Speaker 1: to you because you're so bright. Okay, So yes, players,
23:13
Speaker 1: star players of ours got money. The difference is the
23:16
Speaker 1: mid major guys. Those guys normally didn't get the money,
23:19
Speaker 1: and they weren't being poached by the Power Conference teams,
23:23
Speaker 1: which is what's going on right now. If you're a
23:24
Speaker 1: halfway decent mid major player, let's say you're some three
23:27
Speaker 1: point sharpshooter and you're playing at some mid level team
23:32
Speaker 1: in D one, you will then be poached by Kentucky
23:36
Speaker 1: or by Florida or whoever fill in the blank that
23:40
Speaker 1: didn't happen before.
23:43
Speaker 5: Let's tell you it's good enough for the dog on coaches,
23:46
Speaker 5: why shouldn't be good enough for the players?
23:49
Speaker 1: Did I ever say, Jerome? Did I ever say, Joe, hello,
23:54
Speaker 1: is this on? Are we broadcasting? You might want to cut?
23:58
Speaker 1: Are you clean out your ears? Jerome? You got a
24:00
Speaker 1: lot of gunk in your ears. You got a lot
24:02
Speaker 1: of gunk inside your freaking ears. Okay, I never said
24:06
Speaker 1: it wasn't it wasn't okay for the players. I just
24:08
Speaker 1: merely said that this is the new dynamic now, and
24:13
Speaker 1: you're not gonna see under this current system any real Cinderella.
24:17
Speaker 1: It's not going to happen because of the way the
24:21
Speaker 1: system is now. That's all I say.
24:23
Speaker 5: And it's about and it's about down town.
24:26
Speaker 1: It's about time, Yes, it's about time.
24:28
Speaker 5: There's no moral to anywhere in this world. Okay, nowhere
24:32
Speaker 5: when you gotta sound a prenups you agreement, there's no
24:37
Speaker 5: mod to anywhere. No one can do right.
24:41
Speaker 3: Now?
24:42
Speaker 1: Where you've been to?
24:42
Speaker 2: Where?
24:43
Speaker 1: Where have you been? By the way, where have you been?
24:46
Speaker 5: Uh? I had to go to the doctor. I'm gonna
24:50
Speaker 5: have to have an operation. I'm not sureia on my leg?
24:53
Speaker 5: I got something growing on my leg. I gotta god.

25:01
Speaker 1: in your legs?

Speaker 5: you talk about dad. I'm a man in chopping for years. Man,
25:08
Speaker 5: you're the only one who'll talk to me. And by

25:50
Speaker 5: By the way, I hope Melland gets cushed by Florida
25:53
Speaker 5: because that guy from Merlous caught that game winning basket.
25:56
Speaker 5: He rock right in front of the stick in a fission.
26:00
Speaker 1: You are such a dinosaur. There's no traveling in basketball.

27:20
Speaker 6: You know that first game Florida and Yukon.
27:23
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I had the under.
27:25
Speaker 6: The under and that game I had the under and
27:29
Speaker 6: that game serious money and you know what.
27:31
Speaker 5: Beat me right, which the very last shot.
27:35
Speaker 6: I don't if you watched the game, there was a
27:37
Speaker 6: thirty five foot shot that meant nothing except.
27:40
Speaker 2: For the total.
27:41
Speaker 6: And the idiot he goes out there and hits it.

27:45
Speaker 6: It just got I sucked and I started off my day.
27:49
Speaker 6: As you know, when you.
27:50
Speaker 3: Lose like that, it basically is a sign that Yeah,
27:54
Speaker 3: the total was what one hundred and fifty and a half,
27:58
Speaker 3: and with that basket at the end, it was a
28:00
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty two, So it.
28:01
Speaker 1: Went over and you bet the under Yeah, you're probably
28:05
Speaker 1: you're probably thinking yet halftime, you're in pretty good shape.
28:07
Speaker 1: There was was it thirty one all and a half
28:09
Speaker 1: of them sixty two points midway through, so you're thinking, all right,
28:13
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win this.
28:14
Speaker 6: That's I got that one exactly. Yeah, want chicken dinner.
28:17
Speaker 6: I really bet that sport then, because you know, I
28:21
Speaker 6: never watched it throughout the season like everybody else, but
28:24
Speaker 6: I watch it, you know when it's uh March madness,
28:26
Speaker 6: and I bet it.
28:27
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, see that's good. Well that and they also
28:31
Speaker 1: a lot of the places will shame you're like, yoh,
28:33
Speaker 1: you should bet hunderdogs, you know, but if you more
28:35
Speaker 1: times than not, if you bet the chalk, you'll end
28:37
Speaker 1: up you'll end up winning. And you're not. They say
28:41
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to do that because you know, you
28:42
Speaker 1: gotta bet the underdog. Everyone wants to bet the underdog
28:45
Speaker 1: and all that, but like look at look Dot like Duke.
28:47
Speaker 1: Duke was favored by thirteen, they won by what they
28:50
Speaker 1: were by twenty. They covered by thirteen as a number
28:55
Speaker 1: one seed Kentucky, they were I think they might have
28:59
Speaker 1: been actually an underdog in that game. But they covered
29:01
Speaker 1: at Kentucky against Illinois. I can go game by gamer
29:04
Speaker 1: you want, but don't want to hear that. But the
29:05
Speaker 1: point is that this was in this tournament. The favorites
29:09
Speaker 1: did very well, did very Yeah.
29:11
Speaker 6: I had Duke on Friday, which is a rocky ship bet.
29:15
Speaker 6: I love that you sit there and you cash out,
29:18
Speaker 6: so it's failing pretty good going on a Sunday, and uh,
29:21
Speaker 6: you know you know how that goes. So I lost it.
29:24
Speaker 1: So well, hey, just calm down. I I did not
29:28
Speaker 1: did not partake because I I have not watched enough
29:31
Speaker 1: to really have any real nuts. I'm waiting for baseball.
29:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go full Pete Rose here. Once opening Day
29:36
Speaker 1: comes around on Thursday. That's my that's my wheelhouse.
29:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's gonna be stopping.
29:42
Speaker 5: I'm soon.
29:42
Speaker 6: So you you don't bet every.
29:44
Speaker 1: Week or you better no, No, I don't. I My
29:47
Speaker 1: problem with Dan is I hate losing. So I like
29:49
Speaker 1: to pick my spots when I feel pretty confident. So
29:52
Speaker 1: I'm not like a daily guy. I don't have to
29:55
Speaker 1: have action every day. That's my problem. Maybe maybe maybe
29:59
Speaker 1: it's not my product. Yeah, you know so, but I
30:02
Speaker 1: respect it, Danny. If you're able to do it every
30:04
Speaker 1: day and you can handle the ups and downs, I
30:07
Speaker 1: can't handle the day, Yeah, I can't. You gotta be selected, man,
30:11
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, you can. You gotta pick your spots.
30:13
Speaker 1: You gotta pick your speck.
30:15
Speaker 6: That's the whole thing.
30:16
Speaker 1: Ben, Yeah, buddy, pick up some you go pick up
30:21
Speaker 1: some trash. There's a Danny DeVito checking in. Yeah, that's uh,
30:28
Speaker 1: that's stuff. And then they celebrate the eight nineteen parlays
30:32
Speaker 1: that win because that's a sucker's bet. They want you
30:35
Speaker 1: to bet those And it's an evil, evil cycle, is
30:39
Speaker 1: what it is. So if you ban something, it becomes
30:41
Speaker 1: more popular. There was a report over the weekend then
30:45
Speaker 1: at least twenty states in the United States here have
30:50
Speaker 1: banned from school. You see what they banned the rain.
30:54
Speaker 1: What do you think they've banned from school? Crocs? That
30:57
Speaker 1: is correct. You got it right, they banned croc from school.
31:02
Speaker 1: Dozens of schools in at least twenty states have banned
31:06
Speaker 1: crocs from being worn. They say there's there's a safety hazard.
31:11
Speaker 4: I heard Disney was thinking about doing that, but I
31:13
Speaker 4: didn't hear about schools.
31:15
Speaker 1: Doing Yeah, it's a big issue at schools. What is
31:18
Speaker 1: the safety hazard?
31:19
Speaker 4: They don't stay on your feet well, and kids are
31:21
Speaker 4: tripping and falling. And also think about the playgrounds and
31:24
Speaker 4: the sticks that they have on the playgrounds. Think all
31:26
Speaker 4: the splinters that are happening.
31:27
Speaker 1: Well, they're not supposed to be worn for an extended
31:30

Speaker 4: Hey, nurses out there tap in?
31:46
Speaker 1: No nurses listen to the show. They don't call them show,

Speaker 7: Now, before the start of last season, it was reported
37:26
Speaker 7: that Ryan Tannehill's next death would be very selective about
37:29
Speaker 7: his next destination. It would need a compelling opportunity to
37:33
Speaker 7: move his family from Nashville.
37:34
Speaker 1: Oh.
37:34
Speaker 7: Sure, he didn't sign with anyone, But now it's being
37:37
Speaker 7: reported that the Vikings consider him a potential option. Ben,

Speaker 1: enjoy their fine foods, good food city there in Minnesota.
37:50
Speaker 1: And he is no threat to JJ McCarthy. He is
37:53
Speaker 1: no threat, and he could probably make like ten million
37:55
Speaker 1: dollars as a backup, So yeah, why not for like
37:58
Speaker 1: ten million is a backup? Sure?
38:00
Speaker 7: Hassan Reddick was one of the first free agent signings
38:03
Speaker 7: earlier this month when he inked a one year deal
38:05
Speaker 7: with the Buccaneers now the GM. Jason Light Yeah made
38:10
Speaker 7: a recent radio appearance where he said that he thought
38:13
Speaker 7: twenty twenty four was an aberration and that Reddit can
38:15
Speaker 7: get back to being an elite player in twenty twenty five.
38:18
Speaker 1: Do you agree? Well, what is your definition of believe?
38:22
Speaker 1: He's never gonna get the money back that he lost
38:24
Speaker 1: his owner and salary, the bonuses, that he lost one
38:28
Speaker 1: of the great debacles in recent NFL history. He lost
38:32
Speaker 1: approximately seven million dollars. I would need therapy. I would
38:37
Speaker 1: need meds if I lost seven million. Can he be
38:41
Speaker 1: a good rusher? He's been a good rusher. Is he
38:43
Speaker 1: gonna dominate the Tampa Bay defense? I'm gonna go no
38:46
Speaker 1: on that. So I'm gonna disagree with the overly optimistic
38:51
Speaker 1: general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But if I'm him,
38:54
Speaker 1: I mean, oh my god, he also over seven million next.
38:57
Speaker 7: Kyrie Irving took unbridge with the notion that the map
39:00
Speaker 7: X were to blame for his ACL injury, saying I
39:02
Speaker 7: led the leagues in a minute, so the f what.
39:05
Speaker 7: He also went on to say, if he asked ninety
39:06
Speaker 7: five percent of the league if they would rather be
39:08
Speaker 7: playing fifteen minutes or thirty five minutes a night, I
39:10
Speaker 7: guarantee you ninety five percent of them would say thirty
39:13
Speaker 7: five minutes.
39:14
Speaker 1: Do you think that's true, Ben, No, not at all.
39:16
Speaker 1: The players have been brainwashed the dogma of the nerds
39:19
Speaker 1: that you know, you gotta take care of your body,
39:21
Speaker 1: don't play back the Backs, blah blah blah blah blah.
39:23
Speaker 1: The Lakers the other night, didn't they shut down half
39:25
Speaker 1: their team because they're you gotta you know, you gotta save,
39:27
Speaker 1: you gotta play Bronni the gaming they lost who they
39:30
Speaker 1: playing that night? After the Bucks? The Bucks, they just
39:32
Speaker 1: shot down. All these guys buy into that stuff. So
39:34
Speaker 1: I disagree with Kyrie. They all believe it. How did
39:37
Speaker 1: we do? Kooboloop he passes that is a way you can.
39:40
Speaker 6: Put it on the balloo.
39:42
Speaker 1: I want James hollowing James. I want James
