• 1:39
  Speaker 1: play the hits. Don't bury the lead, my man Art,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna bury the lead. So we'll start with
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the madness of March. We have made it through the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: spectacle that is the first weekend, really the weekend of engagement,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and it is one of the few events that we
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: have that the excitement goes down. It starts at the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: krish and then goes the other direction. But we're down
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to the Sweet sixteen now and a rather uneventful, uneventful
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: opening weekend, and we did have a couple of dramatic,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: somewhat dramatic Maryland game buzzer beater there to knock down
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and knock out Colorado State. It would be the moment
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of the weekend, the game that a couple of games
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that got my attention over the weekend. I went down
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in Flames with Rick Patino and Saint John's he lasted. Well,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: there's a joke there about how long Saint John's lasted,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But I think you know the joke, and I don't
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: need to go down to that level to make the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: joke about how long Saint John's lasted, and you don't
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: really care about my bracket. You don't worry about your bracket,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: so it's not really that important. But on Sunday, the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: game that I circled that I was I kind of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: want to watch this more than the other games was
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Yukon and the Florida Gators. I was like, all right, again,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: we got something there. Yukon code famously went out and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: had a little nice dinner, played foot seat with the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Lakers and then said screw you. I'm saying right where
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I am, you losers, and I love that. I thought
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that was great. He stuck it to the Lakers and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: talked about Dan Hurley, the coach at Connecticut, so Yukon
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: trying for a three peat, that the back to back
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: champions coming in to play on Sunday, and a game
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that came down close. Game came down to the bitter
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and a nail bier. It was a nail bier, but
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in the end, the Gator chop gets it done. The
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Florida Gators the number one seed and they're part of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the bracket there. They win seventy seven, seventy they said
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the little we do not have the number one. Lorrain
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: is busy, she was busy talking. So there we go.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Now we have the number one. The number one was down.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. All right, so that means for Connecticut
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: turn at the last, the parties over. They're done, the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: number eight seed out as they have been exterminated from
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament. Now, what happened after the game is
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to me, the more interesting part of the story, the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: better story is in the losing locker room. And so
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: there was a viral malmey that took place after the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: game out of he saw it. Not maybe you didn't
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: see it, but Dan Hurley was caught on candid camera
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: as he was stomping off the court there and he
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: had a profane message to the team that was going
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to follow Yukon and Florida on the court there in Raleigh,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: as a grainy cell phone footage captured Dan Hurley seemingly
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: admonishing the referees, putting the finger of blame on the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: officials as he entered the bowels of the arena there
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: in North Carolina. As he went viral, he said, I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: hope they don't blank you like they blanked us. I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: think you can figure out what the blank is there.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I hope they don't do that to you Baylor, And
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: what turns out, apparently they did because Baylor was pulverized
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: by Duke in their game. So the story here is
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Dan Hurley and he's the headliner there for Connecticut basketball.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: He has been called out by someone say internet trolls.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Other people say they're supporting truth, justice and sportsmanship way,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: but either way, people were upset saying that the head
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: coach there of Yukon, it was unbecoming of Dan Hurley
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: what he did. He acted like a toddler that had
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a conniption fit. So let us discuss the question did
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Dan Hurley embarrass himself and Yukon for being a sore
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: loser as he walked off the court. So I've got
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Bruski medicine, cabinet and guianty and we will combine all
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a to Ducan is what We're going to make a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: nice to Ducin to make the agony go away. Enjoy
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: your to Duck, and so a to answer the question,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: does Dan Hurley to embarrass himself for being a sort
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: loser I'm shaking my head. No, I don't have that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't write that on my note card. I did
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: not write that on my note card. And to me,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: there's nothing to be ashamed of. I didn't see anything there.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: He calmed down and gave some poetic quotes to the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: assembled media later on. But the raw emotion of ath
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: lotic competitions Hurley's walking off the court here, now, I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: wish my take was diff It'd be better talk radio
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: for oh Man. Dan Hurley's a douche canoe, and man,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: what a loser. I don't feel that way. I know
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: there's a natural reaction. He's not a gracious loser. Did
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: anyone think Dan Hurley was anything but an angry loser
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: when his team loses? Like? Is this some kind of
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: revelation from basketball nation? Seriously? And I'm okay with it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with why last I checked, this is not
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a Saturday morning at the YMCA teaching little children about
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: how to play basketball and sportsmanship. Dan Hurley all right,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: for better or worse. His favorite ruski is Modello. He's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: got that fighting spirit and I like that. I like
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that passion to passion play, and I think it's good
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: as newt Rockney and others have been credited with saying,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: when it comes to wins and losses, wins and losses,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you show me a good loser, and I will show
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you a loser. And so Hurley's not a good loser.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: We know that. And let's be real. He's a professional coach.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Dan Hurley is a professional coach. He's making eight million
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: dollars a year, over eight million dollars a year to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: coach in a sleepy college town in Connecticut. And this
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: is the test. The NCAA tournament is the test. No
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: one watches college basketball other than the tarnetentles. You're a
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: degenerate gambler. You're not watching college basketball other than March madness.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So this is the only time that matters. And he
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: felt that his team was aggrieved by the referees and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: he was upset by it, and that was his reaction.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: But we know, we know about Dan. The guy is
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: a convicted whack adoodle. He is a whack adoodle. A
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: lot of these coaches are whack of doodles. Well, the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: players are whackadoodles, all right. This is not a natural thing.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: That's the way it is. He's a professional coach, Dan Hurley.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: The players are making money, they're professionals, anil deals. It's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: professional basketball. That's what it is. Student athlete, my fat
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: ass student. It was never student athlete. They're always getting
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: money in envelopes. Now they're getting it right out in front. Well,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Dan Hurley, none of that story. A couple of weeks ago,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: we talked about it a little bit on the air,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: but they did a deep dive on what makes Dan
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Hurley tick. And you know, he burns sage to ward
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: off bad jujuu, and he sprints his holy water on
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the court. He's got bags of garlic bulbs he walks
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: around with to keep evil spirits away. He's going for it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: He's doing all that. He's got all that stuff in
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: his repertoire, and so that's who he is. He eats
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the same lucky blue m and ms before every game,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: like he's got this routine. He only eats the color
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: blue unless the other team has the opponent has the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: color blue, and then he's got to switch it up
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and eat like a red or a green, depending on
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: what color they have. So snapping like Dan Hurley did,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: on brand, it's on brand. We're fine with we're good,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: all right now, turning the page. So we also had
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a number of complaints over the weekend. Michigan State, which
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: has advanced coach Tom Good Old Tom is He's one
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of the old old codgers, still hanging out. So Tom
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: is Oh. And then UCLA's mccron was eliminated over the weekend.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: But both coaches is Oh and mc cronin were grumbling.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: They got that grumbling tummy over the weekend. They were
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: complaining about what what were they complaining about? Oh, my god,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: we've got to play those late games, my god, so late. Yeah,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: they were complaining about the late start times in the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: NCAA tournament. And the question do you have any empathy
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: for Tomo at Michigan State and Mick cronin at UCLA,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: both of them giving the bad body language and the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: grumbling about the start times for their teams, and UCLA
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: has been eliminated Michigan State plays on so on this
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: one thumbs up, thumbs down, I go thumbs down. I
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: do not do not have empathy. Do not have empathy
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: for either one of these guys. And my advice, unsolicited
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: overnight sports radio advice, is to go down to the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: medical cabinet. Medicine cabinet you have there, and open it
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: up on the second shelf, not the first, not the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: top shelf, the second shelf right in the middle, the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: middle shelf of the medicine cabinet. There's a little white bottle.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: And you take that little white bottle and you open
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: it up. It's got the child lock on it. You
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: twist it a little bit. You gotta squeeze down and
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: then twist you open it up. You take one pill out,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: not two, not three to one pill. It's a no
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: dose and it's called caffeine. And you can stamp. It's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: an amazing thing. Suck it up, buttercup, okay. And why
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: why it's a TV show? Right? It's a TV show.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And if you have a chance to be on a
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: TV show that pays a lot of money, you do
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: it whenever they want you to do the TV show.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: That's the way that it works. In the NCAA Men's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: basketball tournament has multiplied television revenue nearly seventy times in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the last forty years. Let me repeat that for those
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of you a little slow in the back of the room.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: The NCUBLEA as a television show has increased revenue nearly
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: seventy times since the early nineteen eighties. Is there any
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: other TV show that has seen that kind of revenue
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: increase consistently? Probably not one point one billion a year.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: One point one billion a year. So this is a
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: teachable moment. Now, what is the lesson? The lesson? Those
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: that make the gold, make the rules, and the ones
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that make the gold are TV. And thus the TV
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: advertisers who have this weird, this weird formula that they
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: have where they spread all the games out to certain
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: television windows and they determine where they can get the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: most bang for their buck. And that's the way that
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: it goes. And if they tell you to play at
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: two in the morning, then you should be like you're
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: in the United States Marines and say sir, yes, sir, okay,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: we're there. We'll be happy to do it. Now that said,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: there is something that Mick Cronin said. There is something
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that Mick Cronin said that I completely am lockstep with.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: He complained about the Allegsion Air flight back to Los Angeles.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: He did not seem to appreciate the quality of Allegianaire. Now,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to be fair, I have not flown Allegianaire. I have
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: friends that have and have not said kind things, have
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: not said kind things. So I can't say firsthand that
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I've had a bad experience, but I have had people
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: in my circle that have not had very kind things
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to say about Allegionaire. But you think this is kind
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: of big business and they should be able to I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: don't know, afford something that you don't have to pedal
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: power to have the thing take off. But what do
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I know? All right? Anyway, all right, now, last word here.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: So we have now whittled down, down, down, down down.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: We have whittled down the NCAA tournament field from sixty
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: eight teams to sixteen teams. And how do you dissect
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the clear and obvious lack of Cinderella. Cinderella is not there.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: There is no Cinderella in the Sweet sixteen of March Madness?
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: So how do you dissect this? So I have, after
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a special minutes long mallar dissection, I have determined this
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: is industrial strength chalk. Is what this is? Obviously it's
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: industrial strake chalk. So the Sweet sixteen the total seed value,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: you know they add up the seeds fifty five? What
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: does that mean? In Layman's terms. So it means the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: average seed going forward now that we've made it through
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the first weekend is three point four to four is
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the average seed. The only the only team that is
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: worse than a six is one team worse than a six.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I believe it's John Calipari and Arkansas. Does anyone think
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that at John Calipari Arkansas team counts as a upstart team?
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Probably not right. And twenty oh seven, you go go back.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: That's I mean, I was barely alive in twenty I
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: was a little baby in twenty oh seven. No, I
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't here doing shows. No, twenty oh seven was the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: last time that we had this kind of a trucky
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: micchalk situation in the sweet sixteen and that was a
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: no team worse than a seven seed. That was twenty
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: oh seven, So you do the math on that, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: which was twenty twenty five, And so that's eighteen years ago.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: That's a long time. So if you were born in
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: twenty oh seven, you've just gotten out of like high
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: school now and you're off to the to the real world.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: So I would say, welcome to the new normal. I'm
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: gonna go Conspiracy theory guy. I'll go tinfoil hat guy.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: It was a song years ago that said video killed
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the radio star. I would argue that Nil took the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: guillotine and beheaded the upstart Cinderella the mid major. That
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: it's a guillotine to the Cinderella. Here's why name image
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: like this what. I'm not against it. It seems a
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: little bit out of control to me, But I'm not
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: against it. Right. I'm the guy that ranted from the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: bullied paulp and it's ridiculous, you know, just say it
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: kept saying student athlete. These guys should get paid over
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the table. They got paid over the table. Fine, but
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: name amagen likeness. Poaching. It's like whaling and you hear
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: stories about I don't know how much that's true or not,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: but the whaling back in the sixties and they just
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: destroyed the whale population out in the oceans and all that.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: But the poaching. If you're halfway decent at a mid major,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: you're not staying at a mid major. You're not There
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: is a dramatic decline of the underdog, the first sign
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: of life you have. If you're a mid major player
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and they're always on the hunt, they're always on the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: prowl at these major schools, and they're gonna snatch you
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: away and give you a giant check. If you're a
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: diamond in the rough, you're not going to be in
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the rough for very long. So for me, I can't
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: count John Coli part I cannot count as an underdog.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: So for me, I gotta go BYU, that Tater tot guy,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the tat top bloodline guy. That's gotta be the dog, right,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: That's gotta be the underdog BYU, Tater Tod guy, grandfather
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: invent of the Tator Todd the kid. For BYU, that's
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: gotta be the one.

• 18:35
  Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from Footbool. We'll get back
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to the collegiate basketball at some point here as we're
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: down to the sweet sixteen, and everyone chames you if
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you pick chalk. But if you pick chalk, you're doing
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: very well. If you pick chalk, you're doing very well
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: in the NCAA tournament. But our leaders from football in
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the berg and while you were away, well you might
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: have been here, but we weren't here. We were away
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: from the guard shack. As we have the watchtower overlooking
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the sports world in the middle of the night, the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: graveyard shift and we do the podcast on the weekends,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and so we're not manning the fortit. I did mention
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: a heavy sporty monologue on Saturday reacting to the death
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: of George Foreman over the weekend, the Foreman grill will
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: live on forever, and well not forever, but for a while.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: And then also some of the NFL news. But we
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: have a time to go a little deeper. It's missed
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: some new developments here involving Aaron Rogers, who had a
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: clandestine trip to western Pennsylvania in a not so not
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: so private get together, very public, very public. Right there
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: at the confluence of the Manahangahila and the Alleghany, the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: creation of the Ohio River. There was Aaron Rodgers in
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: all his goy So if you've not heard the latest
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: on this, some new developments over the weekend, we're now
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: hearing that it appears to be green light, go stay
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: tuned safe. Bet is the way it's being described that
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, it is anticipated, will sign a contract to
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: play professional football with the Pittsburgh football team. Say why yeah.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: The reporting over the weekend, if you missed it, is
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers is going to end up with the Steelers.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: He's forty one. He spent six hours. Can you imagine
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: six hours? What do you do for six You look
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: at the weight room, okay, what's that take twenty minutes.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: You go look at the facilities. Okay, you look at
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the urinal Okay, there's a urinal cake in there. That
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: takes another twenty minutes. You meet with the coach for
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: about an hour, You have lunch. That's an hour. What
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: are we at maybe three hours? Six hours? What are
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: you doing for six hours? What the hell are you doing? Anyway?
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question how do you assess
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the latest developments between Aaron Rogers and Pettsburg Steelers. So
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I've got Buzz light Year Registry and Vin Diesel, and
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: are going to make a delicious pastrami sandwich, which I
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: believe I've mastered the pastrami sandwich. I made one over
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the weekend. Chef's kiss, Just a chef's kiss is what
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: it was, all right? So numb I said number, I
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: get a number. So we are heading towards a waterloo moment.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: We know where we're going here, and our long national
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: nightmare is inching closer to a resolution. Now, part of
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: me loves this because I have a lot of people
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: in my circle that are fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and also people that like to take shots at Aaron Rodgers,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and so to see these two worlds collide, I'm just
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: gonna sit back with a big bucket of popcorn and
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: just enjoy the show buttered popcorn and just enjoy joy. Sure, now,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: am I beyond maybe sending a insightful or leading message
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to these people that are Steeler friends. You're gonna get
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: your Aaron Rodgers jersey, you know, knock yourself out there. Yeah,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: but my theory is concept. But you don't go to
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in the months of March and the month of
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: March unless you're ready to not sign on the dotted line,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: but do the docu sign. Unless you're ready to do
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the docu sign. It's a matter of when it happens,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: not if it's going to happen. At this particular point,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: there's really no other good options. The giants blow, the
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: vikings don't really seem all in. So it's unless something
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: magical pops out of thin air, that's it. Right. There
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: has been a public bromance. What up, bro, There's been
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: a bromance between Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin that has
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: played out for a couple of years. But if you
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: look at the Steelers and what they have done, I
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: would argue the last couple of years Ben Roethlisberger was there,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: he was a turn that he went very good. But
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: if you look overall Pittsburgh the last couple of years
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: they had Roethlisberger, it's continued through the Kenny Pickett, Mason
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Rudolph that directly put out there last year with Justin
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Fields and also mister unlimited Russell Wilson. That has been
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: a temporary job. The Pittsburgh quarterback job is a temp job,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: and so you put Aaron Rodgers out there, it's a
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: big name, it's an MVP name, but in reality, it
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: is another buzz light Year band aid. It's a little
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: kid's band aid with that buzz light Year on it,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: and that's what it is. It's a turnstop. That job
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: is a turnstile job at this particular point, which is fine.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: They keep making the playoffs there. Rogers did an absolute
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: belly whopper with the Jets and now here we are.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: He's a year older forty one. At this point, he
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: looks to be on the other side of the wash,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the other side of the tracks, and it's not going well.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: But I love it. I love it. The Steelers are
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: a high profile team, even though you say Pittsburgh's not
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: a big market. That is one of the legacy teams
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers that have fans everywhere.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I know when the Steelers, I can do the show
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: from Los Angeles, when the Steelers come to LA they
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: might as well be in Pittsburgh. It is a packed
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: house of Yinzer lovers there, and that's everywhere the Steelers go.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: They're one of the great draws on the road that
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: fans all over the place, still benefiting from Terry Bradshaw
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and the nineteen seventies Steel Curtain defense back in the day.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: So they've got that. There's generations of fans for the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. We get that. So it's a highly combustible situation,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: which is good for people like me. You look at
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: it and you've got the long the twoth quarterback who
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: still thinks he can play in Aaron Rodgers. He's the
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: agent provocateur. You've got the firebrand quarterback, mixed with the
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: long tenured coach who's got Supreme Justice Supreme Court justice
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: tenure in Mike Tomlin. You mix together the polarizing look
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: at me wide receiver George Pickens, who now has to
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: take a back seat to another devil wide receiver, DK
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Metcalf who got the bag. Both those guys are capable
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: of dominating, absolutely dominating, and also dominating in a negative way.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: So you got the yin and the yangt wide receiver,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and you've got all these ingredients, and I'm down for it.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I'm in, I'm in. And the reason why I have
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: a daily talk show I have to do every night,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I have to come in here. I have four hours
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: of talk radio I have to do. And it's more
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: fun when you have this type of situation. If it works, mozletom, congratulations, right,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: if it works, good for you. Black and yellow, black
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and yellow, black and yellow and all that playoff when here,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: there and everywhere, and uh whoo, be damned, Fluke, run
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: to the plubs now if it flops. If it flops,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: great for guest baggery. It is a situation. If you
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: look at it from the outside, it's you've got inflammatory comments, guarantee,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: right guarantee. Because every every week Rogers will hang out
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: with Pat McAfee, they'll do their little grab ass. He'll
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: maybe do a couple of Joe Rogan interviews as spots
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and say something zany and crazy and all that, and
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: then Mike Tomlin will be asked to comment about what
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Rogers said, and then Tom's not gonna want to comment,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: so we'll say some stupid thing and then that'll that'll
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: then go to Rogers and what was your Tomlin said?
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: And then they'll go back and forth. And it's a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: win win situation from a content standpoint, it's a win
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: win all right. Now, page two, So can you explain
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the other quarterback here? Can you explain what is happening
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: in Russell Wilson's universe, his free agent sojourn, his journey
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: around the NFL. So on this one, I'm relating to
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson because I know what it's like to be
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: picked last. I know what it's like. That's what Russell
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Wilson's going through. Welcome to my world, Russ, Welcome to
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: my world, mister last picked on the playground. I know
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: what that's like. I know what that's like Russ, and
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: that's reality. That is the situation that Russell Wilson's in.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: He is a declining asset and he never was an
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: MVP level player. He never got a single vote for
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: the Most Valuable Player award. He's always a guy that
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: benefited from being on a great defensive with a great
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: defensive team in Seattle, the Legion of Boom and all
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: that stuff. But right now he finds himself on the registry.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: He is on the do not call registry, and that's
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the way it is right now. As Sean Payton and
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, Sean Payton the last year Russ was in
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Denver and Tomlin last year were able to hide the
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: many moles, the warts that Russell Wilson in his game
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: has And the real ones know, though, the real ones
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: know that Russ was toast. And you can only put
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: so much lipstick on to cover up the many flaws
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: and the imperfections and all that stuff, and at some
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: point you just look like a clown and it's just
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: not good at all. And Russell Wilson has met with
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the Browns, Speaking of clowns, they met with the Browns
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and also the Giants, another clown operation. They're the New
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: York Giants. And so mister unlimited, fair to say, is
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: not in demand. You don't get all warm and fuzzy.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: You don't win the day when you hire Russell Wilson,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: who's washed up as your quarterback. That is not something
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: that happens these types of aging or quarterback that doesn't
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: want to give it up. A diamond doesn't. Diamond doesn't.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: And so but Russell will get a job somewhere, whether
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: it's right now, or somebody gets hurt during the off
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: season or in training camp, someone will bring bring him
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: in now. Final So the Ben Gals, that's a football team,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: not a good one. They didn't make the playoffs last year.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: So Cincinnati wide receiver Jamar Chase, he apparently read this
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: over the week and he bought his They say he
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: bought it. I don't know if he rented it or
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: bought it. There's different reports. One report said he rented it,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: another said he bought the Lamborghini. I guess there's video
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: of him saying he bought it. But after he signed
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that record setting contract, highest paid wide receiver in NFL history.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: So there was some video posted on the socials that
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: showed Jamar Chase zooming around the streets of Miami, which
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I've been to Miami. You can't really drive that fast
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: in Miami, but he was zooming around or trying to
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: with teammate T Higgins. And your thoughts on the viral
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: video which has made the rounds here of the Bengals
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: wide receivers enjoying a nice leisurely drive around South Florida.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: So my first thought was Vin Diesel Baby, that's Vin
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Diesel Fast and the Furious, like thirty three. I think
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: they're up to thirty three now. Just that was what
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: it was. And I also thought of the movie that
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I saw years ago, the documentary Bankrupt. I thought of that,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and people say that a fool and his money are
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: soon parted, but it's possibly just rented the cars. I'm
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: not sure whether they rented them or bought them. And
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: they bought them, then you can goof on them and
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: you know, hey, that's the way it goes. But that Lamborghini,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: that's a five hundred thousand, minimum five hundred thousand of
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: it's new Lamborghini. So that's half a million right there,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: plus the insurance on that, get maintenance. Good luck on
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: that what could possibly go wrong? And they looked like
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the other cars were McLaren's in the video that I saw.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I'm a car guy, car guy, so I thought McLaren's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: possibly there. And hey, you know, as the line goes,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: we all know this as dudes, you know, we grow
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: older and we don't stop playing with toys. The toys
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: just get more expense if they're bigger and more expensive
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the older you get. And that's just the way life is.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: And then you check out and that's it game over all. Right,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: it is the Ben Masher. But as long as those
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: guys are not going full like Oakland, Las Vegas Raider
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: wide receiver guy, you know what I'm saying, And you know,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: smashing in any cars and killing people and whatever, go ahead,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: knock yourself out, have a fun time my money.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. It's Mallard,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: how about that to the third degree?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: This is one big vent gets grilled coolo. Now.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Before the start of last season, it was reported that
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Ryan Tannehill's next desk would be very selective about his
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: next destination. It would need a compelling opportunity to move
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: his family from Nashville. Oh, sure, he didn't sign with anyone,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: but now it's being reported that the Vikings consider him
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: a potential option. Ben, do you think Minnesota would be
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: a compelling enough opportunity?
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I figure Maria's family in minnesot It's a great
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: place to live, not in the winter time, and enjoy
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the fine foods, good food city there in Minnesota. And
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: he is no threat to JJ McCarthy. He is no threat,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: And he could probably make like ten million dollars as
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: a backup. So yeah, why not for like ten million
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: is a backup? Sure? Next?
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Hassan Riddick was one of the first free agent signings
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: earlier this month when he inked a one year deal
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: with the Buccaneers now the GM. Jason Light Yeah made
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: a recent radio appearance where he said that he thought
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty four was an aberration and that reddit can
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: get back to being an elite player in twenty twenty five.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Do you agree, Well, what is your definition of believe?
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: He's never gonna get the money back that he lost
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: his unner and salary, the bonuses that he lost. One
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of the great debacles in recent NFL history, he lost
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: approximately seven million dollars. I would need therapy. I would
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: need meds if I lost seven million. Can he be
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: a good rusher? He's been a good rusher. Is he
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: gonna dominate the Tampa Bay defense? I'm gonna go no
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: on that. So I'm gonna disagree with the overly optimistic
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But if I'm him,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, oh my god, you've also over seven million.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Next, Kyrie Irving took unbridge with the notion that the
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Mavericks were to blame for his ACL injury, saying I
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: led the leagues in a minute, so the f what
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: He also went on to say, if he asked ninety
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: five percent of the league if they would rather be
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: playing fifteen minutes or thirty five minutes to night, I
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: guarantee you ninety five percent of them would say thirty
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: five minutes.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's true, Ben, No, not at all.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: The players have been brainwashed the dogma of the nerds
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: that you know, you gotta take care of your body,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: don't play back to backs, blah blah blah blah blah.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: The Lakers the other night, didn't they shut down half
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: their team because there you gotta you know, you gotta save.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: You gotta play Brownnie. They gave me they lost who
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: they playing that night after the Bucks they just shot down.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: All these guys buy into that stuff. So I disagree
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: with Kyrie. They all believe it. How did we do? Kobolo?
• 33:52
