- 4:32Speaker 1: got an email, very passionate email from a gentleman named
- 4:34Speaker 1: Mike who lives a summer in central California, and Mike said, Ben,
- 4:39Speaker 1: please no more World Cup. Okay, our lead this hour
- 4:42Speaker 1: is from football who All right, listen, I talk about
- 4:48Speaker 1: what's going on. This is interesting to me, so we're
- 4:50Speaker 1: going to talk about it. So we're nearing the end
- 4:55Speaker 1: of this tournament. Yeah, just a few more days, a
- 4:58Speaker 1: couple more games. They have a third place game. You
- 5:01Speaker 1: know that they have a third place game in the
- 5:02Speaker 1: World Cup.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Yeah, they do. That's lame.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Well, the noise on the streets now, the here, here
- 5:08Speaker 1: and now from FIFA. They are considering expanding the upcoming
- 5:14Speaker 1: twenty thirty World Cup to sixty four teams. And why
- 5:20Speaker 1: are they doing it? Well, TV, that's why they're doing it.
- 5:25Speaker 1: So if you didn't see this, perhaps you missed it
- 5:27Speaker 1: over the weekend. Now, this current World Cup is already expanded.
- 5:32Speaker 1: It's forty eight teams right now. The World Cup that
- 5:35Speaker 1: we have that's bigger than it has been. The president
- 5:39Speaker 1: of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, he indicated that the further expansion
- 5:46Speaker 1: to sixty four teams in twenty thirty will be that
- 5:50Speaker 1: will be the anniversary. It's gonna be examined, and that
- 5:54Speaker 1: means they're going to do it. They'll just spend a
- 5:56Speaker 1: lot of money on blue ribbon panels. That's how that works.
- 6:00Speaker 2: My first rodeo.
- 6:01Speaker 1: They'll just say, well, we brought them some great advisors
- 6:04Speaker 1: and they say that this was what the sports needs.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Okay, So the.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Twenty thirty tournament is already going to be played across
- 6:11Speaker 1: six countries Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Morocco, Portugal and Spain. That'll
- 6:17Speaker 1: be the one hundredth anniversary of the World Cup. We
- 6:20Speaker 1: love round numbers. Nobody cares about number ninety nine or
- 6:24Speaker 1: one oh one. It's all about one hundred. We love
- 6:27Speaker 1: the round numbers. Now the sixty four team format in
- 6:31Speaker 1: that scenario, the way it's being pitched is they would
- 6:35Speaker 1: allow Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay each host to have a
- 6:41Speaker 1: full group instead of just one ceremonial match, as was
- 6:47Speaker 1: the plan prior to this latest development. Wink wink, nod, nod.
- 6:53Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
- 6:55Speaker 1: discuss the question FIFA considering expand ending the World Cup
- 7:01Speaker 1: to sixty four countries. Where does this road lead? All right,
- 7:08Speaker 1: so it's cute. We're gonna put all these together and
- 7:11Speaker 1: we'll have some fun here. We've got Coachella, Superman's Cape
- 7:15Speaker 1: and Tug of War and we'll play matchmaker because it's
- 7:19Speaker 1: World Cup matching teams and all that. So so number one,
- 7:24Speaker 1: number one, number one, number one. So this is the stop.
- 7:32Speaker 1: This is the classic FIFA take. All right, you get
- 7:37Speaker 1: some filemon have very expensive for lemon, you have exclusivity,
- 7:42Speaker 1: you have less is more, you have everything perfect. You
- 7:45Speaker 1: take that for lemon, and you put that in a
- 7:47Speaker 1: meat grinder and you grind that into an all you
- 7:50Speaker 1: can eat buffet of mediocrity, and you sell it as premium.
- 7:56Speaker 1: That's all you gotta do.
- 7:57Speaker 2: That's it. Just sell us premium.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, Gianni and Fantino, this guy that runs FIFA,
- 8:02Speaker 1: the president of FIFA. Right now, the money machine that
- 8:05Speaker 1: they're sitting on is rapidly turning the World Cup into
- 8:10Speaker 1: a bloated, soulless cash grab, which is the most American
- 8:17Speaker 1: thing you could possibly do, even though it's an international
- 8:19Speaker 1: sporting event. I look at this and I saw the numbers. Well,
- 8:25Speaker 1: I'll go to sixty four teams because they can get
- 8:27Speaker 1: some more TV money. And I thought, well, this is
- 8:31Speaker 1: what they did at Coachella, right. Coachella was say, everyone
- 8:34Speaker 1: loved it, it was great, it was popular. It was
- 8:36Speaker 1: by the people that upstart bands and music acts and
- 8:39Speaker 1: all that, and then big music got involved and they
- 8:45Speaker 1: killed it and it's not the same and that's just
- 8:48Speaker 1: the way it is. And so it's like, this is
- 8:49Speaker 1: gonna be the soccer version of Coachella where it becomes
- 8:53Speaker 1: too big, too crowded, and half the lineup doesn't really
- 8:56Speaker 1: belong there and lose the plot. You lose, the plot
- 9:02Speaker 1: is the issue, and that becomes the thing. And so
- 9:07Speaker 1: that's where this is headed. Absolutely, that's where this is
- 9:12Speaker 1: headed here. And by ballooning from forty eight teams to
- 9:15Speaker 1: sixty four, they say, well, we're going to grow the game. No,
- 9:19Speaker 1: you're not growing the game. It's kind of like our
- 9:23Speaker 1: friend's over at Budweiser watering down the brew. Well you
- 9:28Speaker 1: make more beer. Yeah, you made more beer, you just
- 9:30Speaker 1: watered it down. In this case, of course, the hard ohs,
- 9:34Speaker 1: we know who those are. They tell me that this
- 9:36Speaker 1: is the best sporting event on Earth, and.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Then I said, well, the best means as good as others. No,
- 9:40Speaker 2: you know what I met, mallor it's best. You know
- 9:42Speaker 2: what I meant? Okay, thank you.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Of course you water that down, and that nice delicious
- 9:49Speaker 1: Bruskie suddenly turns into tap water. If you keep watering
- 9:53Speaker 1: it down, you flood the tournament with a bunch.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Of minnows, if you know what I mean.
- 9:59Speaker 1: They get hammered five nothing in the opening games here,
- 10:04Speaker 1: and you're doing it for the almighty all powerful TV dollars,
- 10:08Speaker 1: which is we're looking at two billion dollars, two billion
- 10:12Speaker 1: dollars US right deal. Supposedly, every single extra group stage
- 10:19Speaker 1: mismatch feeds the monster.
- 10:23Speaker 2: It's all about the monster, right.
- 10:24Speaker 1: More matches sell, more sponsorships, more TV money, and hord
- 10:29Speaker 1: hord hord hord Hord. The World Cup, which has often
- 10:34Speaker 1: been very braggadocious about how they are like a luxury watch.
- 10:38Speaker 1: They're like a Rolex watch. That's what this is, right,
- 10:41Speaker 1: Rolex watch, a rare, precise, iconic, right, luxury. I'm a
- 10:48Speaker 1: watch person. I have a watch. It's you know, it's
- 10:50Speaker 1: like an Apple watch. It's not it's not an expensive
- 10:53Speaker 1: piece of art. That's what I wear. So the role X, though,
- 10:58Speaker 1: those that are into that kind of thing, there's a
- 11:01Speaker 1: subset of people. It's like shoe people, watch people. So
- 11:05Speaker 1: the watch people, let's say, ah, listen the handcrafted greatness
- 11:09Speaker 1: of the role aquawk. So the World Cup's like, okay,
- 11:12Speaker 1: we're gonna turn that into a pawn shop and we're
- 11:17Speaker 1: going to buy some watches from a sidewalk vendor on Canal.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Street in New York.
- 11:23Speaker 1: If you've ever been to New York, you know Canal
- 11:25Speaker 1: Street is where you get all the phony stuff, all
- 11:28Speaker 1: the knockoffs, all the ripoffs, all that stuff, all right,
- 11:30Speaker 1: so good luck, good luck now mean while keeping the
- 11:32Speaker 1: theme Page two here, keeping the theme going though, staying
- 11:36Speaker 1: with soccer. So the quarterfinals of the twenty twenty six
- 11:39Speaker 1: feet of World Cup wrapped up over the weekend. I
- 11:42Speaker 1: actually watched some of this. Don't tell anybody, I'll ruin
- 11:44Speaker 1: my reputation. I did check it out, and the two
- 11:48Speaker 1: semi final matchups are now set for the twenty twenty
- 11:52Speaker 1: six feet of World Cup. We've got France versus Spain
- 11:56Speaker 1: and Argentina, the reigning champions taken on England. And I
- 12:01Speaker 1: am told by my soccer people that that is like
- 12:04Speaker 1: having all four number one seeds advance in the NCAA
- 12:09Speaker 1: men's basketball tournament. Chalky mcchalk is what we've got on
- 12:14Speaker 1: tap here. These are the top four teams, the top
- 12:17Speaker 1: ranked teams according to the people that keep track of
- 12:21Speaker 1: this kind of stuff in the sport of soccer, and
- 12:24Speaker 1: that seems rare.
- 12:25Speaker 2: It is rare.
- 12:26Speaker 1: We are told that is the first time ever in
- 12:29Speaker 1: the history of the World Cup that the teams ranked
- 12:31Speaker 1: in the top four will all be playing each other
- 12:35Speaker 1: at this stage, which is a major bummer for those
- 12:39Speaker 1: of you that worship the dogs who let the dogs out.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Who let the dogs out of the World Cup? Not
- 12:45Speaker 1: one underdog in the World Cup, which of course has
- 12:48Speaker 1: been met with pushback. This is not right. We need
- 12:51Speaker 1: a Cinderella. Okay, let's address the Cinderella in the room.
- 12:56Speaker 1: The question is this World Cup lacking as we head
- 13:01Speaker 1: down to the final four? Is this World Cup lacking
- 13:04Speaker 1: without a Cinderella making it this far? And to that,
- 13:09Speaker 1: I say, police, you gotta be joking. I don't subscribe
- 13:14Speaker 1: to that line of thinking. I don't and I'm a
- 13:17Speaker 1: novice when it comes to this stuff in terms of soccer,
- 13:20Speaker 1: but I don't subscribe to that line of thinking. In fact,
- 13:24Speaker 1: I'm one hundred and.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Eighty degrees the other way.
- 13:28Speaker 1: And we will be willing to say on this little
- 13:30Speaker 1: overnight radio show the quiet part out loud because everybody
- 13:35Speaker 1: who's up.
- 13:36Speaker 2: In arms, Oh, I need a Cinderella. I need a Cinderella.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Get me Cinderella.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Yeah, you're busy knitting your underdog scarves and all that stuff.
- 13:46Speaker 1: The way I look at it, there's only one Cinderella
- 13:48Speaker 1: that I would want, and that would be the old
- 13:50Speaker 1: us of A. And they ain't in it. So if
- 13:53Speaker 1: it's not America, I'm fine, we don't need it. We
- 13:56Speaker 1: don't need her. Get her out of here.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Period.
- 13:58Speaker 1: In the fairy tale, the whole Cinderella story, the whole
- 14:05Speaker 1: Cinderella Store.
- 14:06Speaker 2: It's adorable. It's adorable.
- 14:08Speaker 1: It's the in the same way like you know how
- 14:12Speaker 1: like a toddler wears a Superman cape and then they
- 14:17Speaker 1: run around and they think they can fly, so they
- 14:20Speaker 1: jump off the sofa and then they break their foot.
- 14:23Speaker 1: It's adorable. It's the same thing. You know, they run
- 14:26Speaker 1: into furniture and that's how they have so they do.
- 14:28Speaker 1: The underdogs are great when there are underdogs. If there
- 14:32Speaker 1: are underdogs, boy, that's great. When it's somebody else's plucky
- 14:36Speaker 1: little nation, eh, it's good for a couple of days.
- 14:40Speaker 1: It's the same thing like the NCAA tournament. I say,
- 14:42Speaker 1: I do the same rant every year NCAA Men's basketball tournament.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Everyone wants upsets and then it kills the tournament long term.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Like a couple of upsets is fine, that's all you need.
- 14:52Speaker 2: And we had that.
- 14:52Speaker 1: We had that small island nation from Africa that won,
- 14:56Speaker 1: you know, or tied and was able to advance, and
- 14:59Speaker 1: so that's fine. Uh, that's fine. You know they don't
- 15:03Speaker 1: need more than that. We're we're okay. And the glass slipper, this,
- 15:07Speaker 1: that and the other thing with a glass slipper. I
- 15:10Speaker 1: want blue bloods. I want heavyweights, is what I want.
- 15:14Speaker 1: So spare me the whole magic of the underdog. It
- 15:17Speaker 1: makes it messy. The World Cup comes once every four years,
- 15:20Speaker 1: thank God for that. It's not some hokey Disney movie.
- 15:25Speaker 2: It's not.
- 15:25Speaker 1: And so you look at the matchups, and I'm a
- 15:27Speaker 1: casual observer of the sport of soccer, and you've got
- 15:31Speaker 1: here's what we've got. You've got Messy defending the crown,
- 15:35Speaker 1: the reigning champion taking on Imbape or Immape as our
- 15:41Speaker 1: friend Poppy called them. But in Bape, that that's the matchup.
- 15:45Speaker 1: That's that's like the Premier Star matchup. You've got Spain
- 15:48Speaker 1: taking on England trying to kill some demons the English team.
- 15:52Speaker 1: So you've got that matchup as well, and that's must
- 15:55Speaker 1: see TV and oftentimes sports.
- 15:59Speaker 2: They spend all their.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Time, these sports leagues and these people that watched the
- 16:03Speaker 1: sports specifically trying to manufacture these epic matchups.
- 16:08Speaker 2: What would it be like if this happened?
- 16:11Speaker 1: And now here we are, we've got a bunch of
- 16:15Speaker 1: chalk teams. This is to me more interesting than a
- 16:18Speaker 1: bunch of Cinderella teas. All right, now, final point to
- 16:20Speaker 1: Vegas we go and quite the story over the weekend
- 16:25Speaker 1: where former Miami Heat teammates became fighting.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Friends if you will, well, not literally friends.
- 16:32Speaker 1: But Bam out of Bio, the guy that had that
- 16:36Speaker 1: bogus eighty plus point game. Remember that ridiculous game where
- 16:39Speaker 1: the Heat were fouling so Bam could get more opportunities
- 16:42Speaker 1: to get points. Because it was ridiculous and Adam Silver's
- 16:45Speaker 1: got no balls, so he allowed it to stand.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Anyway, Bam had a Bio and Tyler Hero.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Now the Milwaukee Bucks got into a fracas they got
- 16:56Speaker 1: into a fight a donnybrook In lost at the NBA
- 17:00Speaker 1: Summer League over the weekend. Now, the story that's been
- 17:04Speaker 1: passed around, Bam out of Baio reportedly struck first body
- 17:08Speaker 1: blow body not was headshot to Tyler Hero. Now why
- 17:13Speaker 1: did Bam out of Bio randomly punch randomly punch Tyler Hero?
- 17:18Speaker 1: Well because he had insulted him on some leaked DMS
- 17:25Speaker 1: social media posts things like that, comments criticizing BAM's role
- 17:30Speaker 1: with the Miami Heat. And the whispers out of Miami
- 17:33Speaker 1: over the weekend indicating that it turns out that Tyler
- 17:36Speaker 1: Hero is not alone and this apparently has become a
- 17:40Speaker 1: thing for Bam out of Bio and not a good thing.
- 17:43Speaker 1: That there is a lot of resentment in Miami over
- 17:48Speaker 1: the way Bam out of Bio has been handled by
- 17:51Speaker 1: pat Riley in the Heat, and that it's not just
- 17:54Speaker 1: Tyler Hero, it's Jimmy Butler and other players who have
- 17:57Speaker 1: been through Miami in recent years that are upset. So
- 18:01Speaker 1: the core issue appears to be Bam out of Bio
- 18:05Speaker 1: has received the massive contract extension, he is considered the
- 18:10Speaker 1: chosen one and never really brought up in trade rumors,
- 18:16Speaker 1: all right, And Tyler Hero every year for several years
- 18:20Speaker 1: now has been mentioned in trade rumors, and so he's
- 18:24Speaker 1: not happy.
- 18:24Speaker 2: They're not happy.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Bam out of Bio is obviously not happy that people
- 18:27Speaker 1: are pointing this out. So the question what does Bam
- 18:31Speaker 1: out of Bio snapping at Tyler Hero sucker punching him.
- 18:37Speaker 1: What does that tell us about the Miami Heat dynamic
- 18:39Speaker 1: there behind the scenes. So it is a dead giveaway,
- 18:42Speaker 1: as we like to say, bam ade Bio confirming confirming
- 18:47Speaker 1: the chatter on what Tyler Hero was grumbling about. Spot
- 18:52Speaker 1: on pallace, intrigue, the tug of war, the tug of
- 18:59Speaker 1: war behind the curtain. He's the protected one, and we said,
- 19:02Speaker 1: chosen one by pat Riley, the pampered pet of the
- 19:07Speaker 1: heatles and Tyler here calling out the internal issues behind
- 19:11Speaker 1: the scenes and BAM's max deal, the inconsistent defense at times,
- 19:16Speaker 1: and how the heat have made him untouchable, Bam at
- 19:19Speaker 1: of Bio trading away pretty much everybody else, and BAM's
- 19:24Speaker 1: kind of hangs out and does his thing. And so
- 19:26Speaker 1: instead of ignoring the noise, though, all right, instead of
- 19:29Speaker 1: ignoring the noise, what does bam Adabio do, instead of
- 19:32Speaker 1: being professional about it and said, well, listen, this guy's
- 19:34Speaker 1: on the bucks. I mean, he's on the frickin' bucks.
- 19:37Speaker 1: Now they're gonna suck for the next twenty years. Instead
- 19:39Speaker 1: of doing that, he snaps like a diva who cannot
- 19:43Speaker 1: handle the criticism. And that's not a passion. Situation is
- 19:49Speaker 1: not competitiveness. That is entitlement is what that is. This
- 19:53Speaker 1: is a this is a nerve and Tyler Hero hit
- 19:56Speaker 1: a nerve and Bam out of Bio said no, no, no,
- 19:59Speaker 1: We're he's talking hall monitor status like the franchise Golden Boy,
- 20:06Speaker 1: who knows there will be no real punishment because he's
- 20:11Speaker 1: treated like royalty from pat Riley and everyone else there.
- 20:14Speaker 1: And the regular players get traded, get criticized internally, have
- 20:20Speaker 1: to earn their money. Bam, he's not the not on
- 20:24Speaker 1: that list. He swings and throws a punch at one
- 20:27Speaker 1: of his critics, and I haven't heard much from the
- 20:30Speaker 1: Miami Heat over the weekend. We'll see if anything comes
- 20:32Speaker 1: to that. But Dad to Bio, does he have diplomatic immunity?
- 20:37Speaker 1: It would appear he does. And so hero exposing the
- 20:40Speaker 1: favoritism behind the scenes. I love this kind of stuff.
- 20:43Speaker 1: And Bam giving a very violent reaction, an overreaction like
- 20:48Speaker 1: he's above the rules and he can do whatever he wants.
- 20:51Speaker 1: They're shielded by the pat Riley mafia there in Miami.
- 20:56Speaker 1: So the breakdown, the breakdown is there, the escalation that
- 21:03Speaker 1: took place on that practice court in Vegas.

- 24:37Speaker 2: To the third degree. That'll be coming up a little
- 24:40Speaker 2: bit later in the hour.
- 24:42Speaker 1: A retired NFL quarterback getting calls for a comeback.
- 24:46Speaker 2: Is it true that Derek Carr?
- 24:49Speaker 1: Derek Carr, who sucked with the Raiders of the Saints,
- 24:53Speaker 1: says NFL teams are so horny to get a quarterback
- 24:56Speaker 1: they've contacted him to come out of retirement, and Carr
- 25:00Speaker 1: said never say never.
- 25:03Speaker 2: You know what that sounds like to me? Bull crap.
- 25:05Speaker 1: If somebody offered him a job and he wants to
- 25:07Speaker 1: come back and play in the NFL, why is he
- 25:09Speaker 1: not Why did he not already agree to a deal.
- 25:12Speaker 1: It sounds like he's fishing, tossing this out hoping that
- 25:16Speaker 1: someone who's not that bright in the NFL will be like, Okay, uh, Carr,
- 25:21Speaker 1: there's offers. Let's offer him a deal, and then Carr
- 25:23Speaker 1: will get an offer to come play. But if you
- 25:26Speaker 1: look around, who would be interested in Derek Carr? Like
- 25:30Speaker 1: if you look at the depth chart of the NFL,
- 25:34Speaker 1: and so there's some teams that don't have a quarterback,
- 25:36Speaker 1: but they're not trying to they're not trying to win.
- 25:39Speaker 1: For example, the Arizona Cardinals have Jacoby Brissett and a
- 25:43Speaker 1: bunch of other dudes, and they're not really trying to win.
- 25:47Speaker 1: So what would the point of that be? Like I
- 25:50Speaker 1: can understand if somebody has like a you know, a
- 25:54Speaker 1: week backup, but I assume car is not going to
- 25:56Speaker 1: come back to be a backup.
- 25:58Speaker 2: He wants to play.
- 26:00Speaker 1: But anyway there is that we'll press on a bunch
- 26:03Speaker 1: of people on X with a lot of wild and
- 26:06Speaker 1: crazy things to say. And let's see page then here.
- 26:10Speaker 1: Who do I find the way again at Ben Mahler
- 26:12Speaker 1: on X that's at Ben Mahler. If you'd like to
- 26:15Speaker 1: be part Hoosier, Bill says, one line open, not for you.

- 26:31Speaker 1: of ten and your Darth Vader impression an eleven out
- 26:35Speaker 1: of ten.
- 26:35Speaker 2: James Earl Jones will be pressed.
- 26:37Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I want you to know for Dog, we
- 26:38Speaker 1: actually helped out because Robbie his line was a little
- 26:41Speaker 1: messed up. So what we did is we edited that
- 26:43Speaker 1: part out in post and then left my part in,
- 26:46Speaker 1: left my part in. So there's that now. Sean checks in.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Shawn's the guy that's buddies with Benoit. Benjamin the Clippers
- 26:54Speaker 1: legend from the nineteen eighties, and he is going to
- 26:56Speaker 1: be part of the Malor Paloozer. So that's great. Yeah,
- 27:02Speaker 1: we should get Benoit involved in this. That would be outstanding. Absolutely.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Curmudgeon Wayne writes in says, you got this whole situation
- 27:11Speaker 1: with from the rundown to who am I screwed up?
- 27:15Speaker 1: Layoff the side? What are you tied it in the
- 27:16Speaker 1: layoff time? I mean we're talking about you tell you nonsense. There,
- 27:19Speaker 1: Wayne the free loader account rights since says when the
- 27:22Speaker 1: World Cup, When the World Cup is over, how much
- 27:25Speaker 1: more additional time do you think you'll get each hour?
- 27:29Speaker 1: I think we'll get about forty five minutes an hour
- 27:31Speaker 1: back right about forty five minutes. I think we'll get
- 27:34Speaker 1: forty five minutes or so, maybe even sixty minutes, so
- 27:37Speaker 1: we could get into the entire the entire hour will
- 27:39Speaker 1: be back late night. Drug tester says, expanding the World
- 27:42Speaker 1: Cup means MMA will have a chance to get in.
- 27:45Speaker 1: And let's go Madagascar. And then he named a bunch
- 27:50Speaker 1: of other countries here, Mozambique and Dora, so there is that.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. It is a call in show, plausibly,
- 27:58Speaker 1: so we'll take some calls. We haven't done that in
- 28:00Speaker 1: a while. And let's say hello to Eenie Meenie Mini moll.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Let's go to Andre Andre Andre in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, welcome.
- 28:11Speaker 6: How's going Ben, Good to be with you, you know,
- 28:14Speaker 6: talking a little bit of baseball, right, we got the
- 28:17Speaker 6: All Star Game.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Yes, the home Home Run Derby is coming up tonight.
- 28:21Speaker 1: It's not it's on Netflix now, which means it's probably
- 28:24Speaker 1: gonna suck, but it will be on there.
- 28:26Speaker 2: So we checking that out. Seaw that goes, yeah on Netflix.
- 28:29Speaker 6: You know, as you can see, Willis does not approve
- 28:32Speaker 6: of some of our.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Oh will this is back, baby, Willis is back well Willis.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Will Willis be entering the Mallard Palooza as a special
- 28:40Speaker 1: pet act in the Malord Palooza.
- 28:42Speaker 6: He's inclined to ben but he did participate last year.
- 28:45Speaker 6: He thought that that would raise the stakes and the standings. Nonetheless,
- 28:50Speaker 6: you know, he's not how shall we say, he's not
- 28:52Speaker 6: deterred in any way, shape or form, all Right, because
- 28:54Speaker 6: you're talking about the Malla Palooza obviously speaking about the
- 28:57Speaker 6: best and the best, and so you can't expect to
- 28:59Speaker 6: be a one hit wonder to come in, you know,
- 29:01Speaker 6: your first go round and go all the way to
- 29:03Speaker 6: the top to the xenus, you know, such an event.
- 29:05Speaker 6: So he was a little bit you know, I'm not
- 29:08Speaker 6: going to say it didn't rub him the wrong way,
- 29:10Speaker 6: but I think he's ready to, you know, get back
- 29:12Speaker 6: in this.
- 29:13Speaker 1: It's a new new opportunity here and take full advantage
- 29:16Speaker 1: of it.
- 29:17Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 29:18Speaker 6: Yeah. You know Willis, you know, being a mallon wall
- 29:21Speaker 6: from the Peach State down in Georgia. You know, proud
- 29:24Speaker 6: service dog. You know, he never misses, you know, an opportunity,
- 29:28Speaker 6: you know what I mean. So he's going to be back.
- 29:30Speaker 6: He's gonna be back for the mallet Palooza two point none.
- 29:33Speaker 6: Now listen, Ben, you know we're talking a little bit
- 29:35Speaker 6: of baseball, and when Willis is now happy as we
- 29:37Speaker 6: shift gears. Okay, we got some movement going on in
- 29:40Speaker 6: the NFL with the Allen family now selling right the
- 29:44Speaker 6: Seahawks collected you know, nine billion dollars on the humble
- 29:48Speaker 6: and right off into the sunsets. And now we have
- 29:50Speaker 6: the situation we don't know now if we get these
- 29:53Speaker 6: private equity equity folks right coming in, because Roger Goodell
- 29:57Speaker 6: has his eyeset in the twenty five billion out at
- 30:00Speaker 6: twenty five million dollar valuation, so he's selling to the
- 30:03Speaker 6: highest bidder. Okay, so he's private equity folks come in. Now,
- 30:06Speaker 6: are they going to be loyal to the soil and
- 30:08Speaker 6: run the Seahawks, right, like a mom and pop organization.
- 30:12Speaker 6: This was the vision of Paul Allen, you know, with
- 30:15Speaker 6: all of his Microsoft money. But he wanted to bring
- 30:17Speaker 6: competitive sports to the Pacific Northwest. They deserve it up
- 30:20Speaker 6: there based on all the rain that they're getting, so
- 30:22Speaker 6: you know, they need to have competitive sports. That's why
- 30:24Speaker 6: Paul Allen and he stood ten toes down on that
- 30:27Speaker 6: and he delivered.
- 30:27Speaker 1: No. Well, Paul Allen, actually I believe he saved the team.
- 30:30Speaker 1: They were going to move to la Actually, at one
- 30:32Speaker 1: point the Seahawks they were going to move to Anaheim
- 30:35Speaker 1: where the Rams when the Rams left way back, and
- 30:37Speaker 1: I think Paul Allen bought the team shortly after that
- 30:39Speaker 1: to keep them in Seattle. I think that was the backstory. Yeah,
- 30:44Speaker 1: I'm I'm skeptical. We'll see how this works out with
- 30:45Speaker 1: the new ownership group. Anytime I see well I'm going
- 30:49Speaker 1: to be the money person, my wife's gonna run the team,
- 30:51Speaker 1: and then my kid's gonna take over, I think, well,
- 30:53Speaker 1: that's probably not a good thing. That's not going to
- 30:55Speaker 1: go that well.
- 30:57Speaker 6: No, we need a supreme commander. You need to doctor
- 31:00Speaker 6: Jerry Bush to run the show. Okay, and then all
- 31:03Speaker 6: right over time, we can give it to the kids,
- 31:05Speaker 6: but that's to be the right kid, right, because you
- 31:07Speaker 6: give it to this sun and that wasn't committed. No
- 31:09Speaker 6: Jeanie had Jeanie knew what to do with it. With
- 31:11Speaker 6: the franchise, it can't be this one that's not fully
- 31:13Speaker 6: bought in. It's a whole succession process that you have
- 31:16Speaker 6: to kind of go through. So my finger is crossed.
- 31:19Speaker 6: But the people in Seattle, I want you to continue
- 31:21Speaker 6: to have a proud, hard working franchise, specifically because you
- 31:24Speaker 6: just want a Super Bowl now. In conclusion, but I
- 31:26Speaker 6: do have to say we don't have a good track
- 31:27Speaker 6: record because we're here in Boston, sold high after the
- 31:30Speaker 6: toath has won their championship and now where are they? Okay,
- 31:33Speaker 6: an absolute dumpster fire starting from zero. We think that
- 31:37Speaker 6: Paul George is now at thirty six, you know, is
- 31:39Speaker 6: going to be the equivalent of the Jaalen Browns. We
- 31:40Speaker 6: don't know what the heck we're doing after the ownership left,
- 31:43Speaker 6: selling high and riding off into the sunset. So I'm
- 31:46Speaker 6: hoping for the people in the Pacific northwestern Seattle they
- 31:48Speaker 6: can avoid this tobacco and keep things, keep things chrugging
- 31:52Speaker 6: the forward. Okay, for myself and Willis, we're looking forward
- 31:54Speaker 6: to the Malapalooza. See next time, Benning.
- 31:56Speaker 1: There he goes away, he goes only one Andre the
- 31:59Speaker 1: saleoad of Rome in Charleston. Bring it home, Jerome and Charleston. Hello, Jerome, welcome.
- 32:06Speaker 7: You know as much about quarterbacking as you know about
- 32:09Speaker 7: pass interference. I want A couple of months ago, I
- 32:12Speaker 7: asked you about pass and appearance. I said, did you
- 32:14Speaker 7: see the Chicago Bear tight end, cool commits, push off
- 32:18Speaker 7: Juram's defensive back, and then kiss the kitch a touchdown pass?
- 32:23Speaker 7: You said it was all subjective.
- 32:25Speaker 8: No, that answer, that.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Was totally subjective. You're wrong. You were wrong. Then you're wrong.
- 32:30Speaker 2: Now you can continue to be wrong. Reaction from the
- 32:33Speaker 2: guy from Oh you saw a reaction. Oh you saw
- 32:36Speaker 2: a reaction. Oh my god. I saw a reaction. Oh
- 32:38Speaker 2: my god. Oh I saw reaction. My name's Jeromy Johnson.
- 32:41Speaker 2: I saw reaction. Oh my goodness, Oh my god.
- 32:45Speaker 7: You don't know anything. Get cars from.
- 32:49Speaker 1: Okay, so you like those empty stats when the Raiders
- 32:52Speaker 1: getting smoked every game? Those are okay that you're not
- 32:55Speaker 1: a knowledgeable fan, Jerome. If you think Carr was a
- 32:58Speaker 1: good quarterback. That's a bad job.
- 33:00Speaker 2: You are.
- 33:01Speaker 9: No, I'm going you are.
- 33:03Speaker 7: You don't know anything, and you need to quit pretending.
- 33:07Speaker 6: Man, you don't even know.
- 33:08Speaker 2: Quit pretending.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Tell me, tell me exactly how Derek Carr is a
- 33:11Speaker 1: good quarterback. Go ahead, I'll give you thirty seconds.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Tell me. Well, that's what He's not a good get.
- 33:16Speaker 2: So you're agreeing with me. You're agreeing with me. He's
- 33:19Speaker 2: got he's got a losing record. He put up empty
- 33:22Speaker 2: stats in garbage time.
- 33:23Speaker 1: When the Raiders were getting their doors blown out, when
- 33:26Speaker 1: the game matted in big moments, Derek Carr didn't show up.
- 33:29Speaker 1: He disappeared time and again. And he is as responsible
- 33:33Speaker 1: as anyone else for the Raiders leaving Oakland. If Derek
- 33:37Speaker 1: Carr had been good and the Raiders had won a
- 33:39Speaker 1: Super Bowl with Carr, they would have found a way
- 33:41Speaker 1: to get the financing to keep the team in the
- 33:43Speaker 1: Bay Area. Instead, he sucked and the team relocated to Vegas.
- 33:47Speaker 1: That's on the resume of Derek Carr. And if people
- 33:49Speaker 1: like you want to defend Derek Carr, that's on you.
- 33:53Speaker 7: You'd be gumping to your talk shows for a long
- 33:55Speaker 7: time Hey.
- 33:58Speaker 1: You Yes, except yet you called me up Jerome all
- 34:02Speaker 1: the time. Let's say hello to uh. Let's say hello
- 34:04Speaker 1: to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Hello, hollering James, Jerome, Jerome.
- 34:11Speaker 9: You got it all wrong. You just stay back in
- 34:13Speaker 9: your tracks.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Well, look you got my back, see that you got
- 34:18Speaker 1: ship You got my back there, James.
- 34:21Speaker 9: Let me tell you Derris Cotton.
- 34:22Speaker 8: Was a bump. He's a bummer. JJ McCarty. I think
- 34:26Speaker 8: the Lakeas should find a way to jump off the
- 34:29Speaker 8: ship of JJ McCarty and dump him off that shadow.
- 34:33Speaker 2: He said, ship ship this ship. Yeah, ship the Lakey ship.
- 34:38Speaker 9: And take all their money and look for a backup
- 34:42Speaker 9: for JJ McCarty to get out. What a backup for McCarty.
- 34:47Speaker 9: I mean, for a while, the cornerback. Let's start. Murray Jersey.
- 34:53Speaker 9: I had to look at because te you my talents
- 34:55Speaker 9: up her white Jersey.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Murray James, Murray Kyler, Murray Jersey.
- 35:01Speaker 9: She said that I'm kind of when it turns out
- 35:03Speaker 9: to be good, that white Jersey, that wait Jersey is
- 35:06Speaker 9: gonna be awesome. A purple one, I'm bleed purple. I
- 35:12Speaker 9: believed in my white teacher. I see them lose for
- 35:15Speaker 9: super Bols and I with them and I say that
- 35:18Speaker 9: heart and soul.
- 35:20Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, Jerome. Jerome's defend my defender of Jerome
- 35:26Speaker 1: hollering James right there. So a couple of people send
- 35:31Speaker 1: me the start. I don't know who this person is.
- 35:33Speaker 1: There's apparently a w NBA player that had a hissy
- 35:36Speaker 1: fit and she threw a shoe at another player in
- 35:41Speaker 1: a w NBA game. Real shawster shoe, Yeah, somebody from
- 35:47Speaker 1: this is a New York Liberty game against Toronto on Sunday,
- 35:53Speaker 1: and this young lady she threw her shoe that hit
- 35:59Speaker 1: a rival player. Apparently they were they were going back
- 36:02Speaker 1: and forth there scrapping.
- 36:03Speaker 2: I love a good cat fight.
- 36:05Speaker 1: The well, no catfight would have been pulling the hair, right,
- 36:07Speaker 1: throwing the shoes. I don't know is that a catfight?
- 36:09Speaker 1: Is that count as a cat fight. I thought women's
- 36:11Speaker 1: go to move would always be the pull the hair scratch, scratch, yeah,
- 36:15Speaker 1: well the scratch, Yeah that's that's two.
