- 2:10Speaker 3: The way tire buying should be. So the chair is
- 2:14Speaker 3: a little lower than normal. I don't.
- 2:16Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm gonna I'm gonna adjust the
- 2:18Speaker 1: chair right now. Let me see because I come in
- 2:20Speaker 1: here and there's other people in the studio. I'm gonna
- 2:21Speaker 1: hold on a second. Let me see if I can
- 2:23Speaker 1: adjust the chair. There we go, oct Sue. It's a
- 2:25Speaker 1: little higher, and now I'll be able to do the show.
- 2:28Speaker 3: I didn't.
- 2:28Speaker 1: I don't like that low chair. I mean it was
- 2:30Speaker 1: too low. And he's it's you gotta have it just right.
- 2:34Speaker 1: You get you have to assign the chair properly, and
- 2:36Speaker 1: the chair was not assigned. Probably anyway. I lead this
- 2:38Speaker 1: hour is from the American League playoffs. There were no
- 2:43Speaker 1: nationally playoff games. We talked about that, but there were
- 2:45Speaker 1: none on Tuesday. As the party got started. We'll begin
- 2:50Speaker 1: in the Bronx the late game. Although these games, because
- 2:54Speaker 1: of the weather to lay in Detroit were simultaneous, most
- 2:57Speaker 1: of them.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Uh.
- 2:59Speaker 1: The game in Detroit between the Mariners and the Tigers
- 3:01Speaker 1: started about an hour before the game at Yankee State.
- 3:05Speaker 1: It was supposed to be much earlier, but three hours
- 3:07Speaker 1: almost three hours of rain delay. But American League Divisional
- 3:10Speaker 1: Series Game number three and the Aaron Judge hyperbole is
- 3:16Speaker 1: through the roof on this Aaron Judge hit a tying
- 3:18Speaker 1: home run, a game tying home run off the foul
- 3:21Speaker 1: poll at Yankee Stadium. There as the Yankees get four
- 3:27Speaker 1: runs batted in by Aaron Judge and stave off elimination.
- 3:32Speaker 1: The only time we use the word stave is in
- 3:35Speaker 1: sports to talk about somebody not being eliminate. They staved
- 3:38Speaker 1: off elimination. Yankees rallied from five runs down. That doesn't
- 3:44Speaker 1: happen very often, although sportscasters always pretend like it happens
- 3:47Speaker 1: all the time.
- 3:48Speaker 3: It does not very rarely does that.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Happen, and they did here, and so the Yankees end
- 3:55Speaker 1: up defeating the Blue Jays nine to six.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Is your final.
- 4:00Speaker 1: And it was actually Jazz Chisholm, who's not getting his
- 4:04Speaker 1: massage and his bubble bath from the medium, who hit
- 4:07Speaker 1: the go ahead home run here.
- 4:09Speaker 3: He hit the go ahead home run in the fifth inning.
- 4:11Speaker 1: But it's all about Aaron Judge toelicking by the National
- 4:14Speaker 1: Baseball Medium. They love them some, Aaron Judge. But it
- 4:18Speaker 1: was chising We with the go ahead home run there
- 4:19Speaker 1: in the fifth dings. So the Yankees taking advantage of
- 4:22Speaker 1: some shoddy play by the Blue Jays, they must have
- 4:25Speaker 1: had a good time. The story the other day was
- 4:28Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero was very braggadocious about how, oh, the Blue
- 4:32Speaker 1: Jays had an optional workout at Yankee Stadium.
- 4:35Speaker 3: The entire team showed up. That's team unity.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Did the entire team go out bar hopping after the workout?
- 4:41Speaker 1: My god, miscues, errors, terrifically terrible pitching, the whole thing.
- 4:48Speaker 1: The better story is in that losing locker.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Room, all God.
- 4:54Speaker 1: So that is where we will begin. As we discussed
- 4:57Speaker 1: the question who gets the dish of blame poutine for
- 5:03Speaker 1: Vladi Guerrero Junior's Toronto squad as they get squished by
- 5:10Speaker 1: the Yankees in this game. So I've got the boat show,
- 5:13Speaker 1: the Bronx Diner, and pool noodles, and we will combine
- 5:18Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
- 5:21Speaker 1: make an amazing chicken tendies, is what we're going to do.
- 5:25Speaker 1: So he the first rule of sports talk radio is
- 5:32Speaker 1: to not over complicate things, right, so we're not going
- 5:35Speaker 1: to overcome kick the situation. Toronto had a six to
- 5:39Speaker 1: one lead and a five run lead in an elimination game,
- 5:44Speaker 1: and they win the game. They're onto the American League
- 5:47Speaker 1: Championship Series. And somehow despite a five run lead. The
- 5:53Speaker 1: big advantage you have on the road is to play
- 5:55Speaker 1: with the lead, and you have the other team, the
- 5:58Speaker 1: home team with tight tuckasin tight took us syndrome, and
- 6:03Speaker 1: the Blue Jays could not even take advantage of that
- 6:05Speaker 1: because they did jump out to the fire run leave.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Vladdie did his joh Vladimir gerro J and you the
- 6:09Speaker 3: two run homer early on.
- 6:11Speaker 1: He did his little macho man chest pounding thing when
- 6:15Speaker 1: he's a running around the base. Look at me, Look
- 6:17Speaker 1: at me. Look at how great I am. Lat's Vladimir Guerrero.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Crowd was buzzing there, it was. It was interesting, you
- 6:25Speaker 1: Yankee fans out here we go. It's a starting to
- 6:26Speaker 1: act like Mets fans. Here we go there.
- 6:30Speaker 3: But anyway, that should have been an early body blow
- 6:33Speaker 3: that put Toronto in position to win. He did put
- 6:36Speaker 3: him in a position to win. They didn't win it.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Obviously, the Jays scored enough the office. You score six runs,
- 6:41Speaker 1: that is a big enough lead to win the game.
- 6:45Speaker 1: And does anyone disagree with that? No one disagrees with
- 6:47Speaker 1: Nobody disagrees. And then the pitching staff collectively grabbed the
- 6:51Speaker 1: keys somehow to the team bus. They peeled out of
- 6:55Speaker 1: the Yankee Stadium parking lot. There they wanted the causeway
- 6:59Speaker 1: and they drove straight into a ditch, which is hard
- 7:03Speaker 1: to find in the Bronx, but they found a ditch
- 7:05Speaker 1: and they just drove right there.
- 7:06Speaker 3: There's sound of it.
- 7:07Speaker 1: And so the starter was somebody that Toronto picked up
- 7:10Speaker 1: at the trade deadline, Shane Bieber, the Beabs. So you're
- 7:15Speaker 1: given a five run lead, you're giving the baseball in
- 7:18Speaker 1: the bottom of the third inning, and what did Beabs
- 7:23Speaker 1: do he said, you know what, I'm the Duke of
- 7:25Speaker 1: Puke and I'm gonna ride the vomit comet. And there
- 7:28Speaker 1: he did, vomited all over the mound. It ends up
- 7:31Speaker 1: going just fifty four pitches. Now I realize he's had injuries.
- 7:37Speaker 1: And they talked about that in the Fox broadcast and
- 7:39Speaker 1: all they but fifty four pitches.
- 7:41Speaker 3: And then they had to wave him out of the game.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Get your fat ass out of the game. Get out
- 7:46Speaker 3: of here. Now.
- 7:47Speaker 1: That is not pitching. Okay, that is not pitching. That
- 7:50Speaker 1: is the Gong show is.
- 7:51Speaker 3: What that was.
- 7:52Speaker 1: For the Toronto Blue Jays would have been better off.
- 7:55Speaker 1: The Blue Jays would have been better off had they
- 7:57Speaker 1: gotten Justin Bieber all the mound, who does not have
- 8:02Speaker 1: an athletic bone in his body. But they put him
- 8:03Speaker 1: on the mound and he can start crooning on the mount.
- 8:06Speaker 1: He could serenade sarenade the hitters there with baby baby,
- 8:12Speaker 1: you know, and just do that over and over again.
- 8:15Speaker 1: And the Yankee hitters would have been so annoyed by
- 8:17Speaker 1: that baby baby baby know that they would have struggled
- 8:22Speaker 1: to hit the ball. So they went to the bullpen
- 8:25Speaker 1: and how did that go that? Well, that was a
- 8:27Speaker 1: trip the Blue Jay bullpen. They went down to the
- 8:30Speaker 1: boat show. They went down to the boat show, and
- 8:34Speaker 1: all the relievers they grabbed their life jackets from the
- 8:36Speaker 1: Blue j bullpen. In fact, it's very odd when you
- 8:38Speaker 1: go out of the bullpen and you go onto the
- 8:39Speaker 1: field to give you a life jacket.
- 8:40Speaker 3: So they all had their life jackets. And there they were.
- 8:44Speaker 1: They were motoring towards Misery Island and they took the ferry.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Now not the Staten Island ferry. They took the Suck Faery,
- 8:52Speaker 1: which is that's a different ferry, but it goes over
- 8:55Speaker 1: to Jersey Suck Ferry. That's what they took right there.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Very impressive, eight unanswer runs given up by the Toronto
- 9:02Speaker 1: pitching staff as they kicked the ball around. It was
- 9:05Speaker 1: like they were auditioning for Toronto FC, the MLS squad there.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Why not everyone outside of Vladimir Guerrero Junior gets a
- 9:15Speaker 1: spoonful of shame, A spoonful of shame. Now, John Schneider
- 9:20Speaker 1: is the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, and here
- 9:25Speaker 1: he is talking about the fact that apparently you just
- 9:28Speaker 1: have to flush this down the toilet.
- 9:30Speaker 3: We'll hear the question of the answer.
- 9:31Speaker 4: To list, John, You've talked a lot about this season
- 9:35Speaker 4: about your team's ability to turn the page. Can describe
- 9:38Speaker 4: a little bit resetting after this one, given that you
- 9:41Speaker 4: had a spot in the Alcs in your hands and
- 9:43Speaker 4: now there's a game four.
- 9:45Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we had a spot in the Alcs
- 9:47Speaker 5: in our hands when the series started, you know what
- 9:49Speaker 5: I mean. I know it's six to one in the
- 9:50Speaker 5: third inning, but we still have a spot like that tomorrow,
- 9:53Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So these guys will be
- 9:56Speaker 5: ready to go. You know, it's it's it's really comforting
- 10:01Speaker 5: for me to see them do that all year. I
- 10:04Speaker 5: know they're going to do it again tomorrow, and you
- 10:06Speaker 5: have to kind of take out the outside noise that
- 10:08Speaker 5: comes to plane here and all that kind of stuff.
- 10:10Speaker 5: So I got all the confidence in the world. And
- 10:13Speaker 5: these guys showing up tomorrow ready to go and just
- 10:15Speaker 5: doing their normal day and competing their asses off.
- 10:18Speaker 3: So why were they not ready for this game? Again?
- 10:22Speaker 3: No accountability? Why not just go we sucked?
- 10:24Speaker 1: Why can't you say, hey, I'm the major of the
- 10:27Speaker 1: Toronto Blue.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Jays and we blow in that game? Why ca'se it? Oh? No,
- 10:31Speaker 3: you Okny?
- 10:33Speaker 1: I hate this this is the part of this crab
- 10:35Speaker 1: I hate. It's like every night I give it. Very
- 10:37Speaker 1: rarely do you get somebody's like, yeah, we sucked. Like
- 10:40Speaker 1: everyone say you suck, you sucked.
- 10:43Speaker 3: Just say it.
- 10:44Speaker 6: I sucked.
- 10:45Speaker 3: Say it, I sucked. I'm the Blue Jay. They were terrible.
- 10:50Speaker 1: You had a five run lead, you blew it and
- 10:53Speaker 1: you throw that crap out. That's modern leadership, that's modern coaching.
- 10:57Speaker 3: It's a bad call.
- 10:58Speaker 2: It's a bad call by me.
- 11:01Speaker 3: All right.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Meanwhile, another thing that annoyed me. I'm just gonna say
- 11:04Speaker 1: it's my therapy. I don't even care if you listen.
- 11:06Speaker 1: I'm just gonna complain about stuff that bothers me. So
- 11:08Speaker 1: I'm watching the game and Joe Davis, thank god, he's
- 11:12Speaker 1: not doing the Dodger games right now. Not a big fan,
- 11:15Speaker 1: so Joe Davis. He actually said on Fox Joe Davis.
- 11:21Speaker 1: He claimed very dramatically that Aaron Judge's playoff moment happened
- 11:29Speaker 1: when he hit a three run tying home run for
- 11:32Speaker 1: the Yankees. He said it on the broadcast, and it
- 11:37Speaker 1: was like this great poetic call by the announcer there that.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Aaron Judge hurt his moment. There's his moment.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Yeah, let's play. Here's we have the audio. I think
- 11:49Speaker 1: this is the audio, so let's go to it. This
- 11:51Speaker 1: is the thing that that triggered me. I actually moved
- 11:54Speaker 1: around a little bit on my sofa. Listen to strike pitch.
- 11:58Speaker 3: It's a IF Experiences moment.
- 12:08Speaker 1: I actually puked in my mouth when I heard that,
- 12:11Speaker 1: and I literally puked in my mouth.
- 12:13Speaker 3: My god.
- 12:17Speaker 1: All right, I'll ask the question, does this qualify as
- 12:20Speaker 1: Aaron Judge the captain of the Yankees moment.
- 12:26Speaker 3: In the playoffs? All right?
- 12:31Speaker 1: So for those of you who relate to the party, welcome.
- 12:34Speaker 1: So this is a three run home run in the
- 12:37Speaker 1: fourth inning of the Divisional Series Game three? Is the
- 12:44Speaker 1: bar that low now for the New York Yankees? Is
- 12:47Speaker 1: that where we have reached? This is a new low
- 12:49Speaker 1: for the New York Yankees. That Babe Ruth is rolling
- 12:54Speaker 1: over in his grave, and Lou Garrick is shaking his
- 12:58Speaker 1: head deep in the ground somewhere, and Jolton Joe Dimagio
- 13:02Speaker 1: cannot believe that this is the Yankees, this is the
- 13:06Speaker 1: modern Yankees. That Aaron Judge had his moment in the
- 13:10Speaker 1: Divisional round Game three tying home run. So I guess
- 13:18Speaker 1: we're grading on a curve now? Is that what we're
- 13:20Speaker 1: doing now with the Yankees? Is that how we're doing it.
- 13:22Speaker 1: If you're wearing pinstripes, you get graded on a curve.
- 13:25Speaker 1: That's Good's that's solid. It's like these guys are acting
- 13:30Speaker 1: like he had a walk off home run in Game
- 13:31Speaker 1: seven of the World Series. I was like, calm down,
- 13:34Speaker 1: just calm down a little bit. Don't force it. You
- 13:38Speaker 1: do not need to force it. There's a very good
- 13:41Speaker 1: chance the Yankees still lose this series. So what do
- 13:43Speaker 1: you say?
- 13:43Speaker 3: Then?
- 13:44Speaker 1: Let me just forget about it. Aaron Judge has been
- 13:48Speaker 1: awesome in the regular season, not always so good in
- 13:53Speaker 1: the postseason. Right, the dude's been more instead of Aaron
- 13:58Speaker 1: Judges been Aaron jury duty in the in the playoffs,
- 14:01Speaker 1: and often watching Aaron Judge in the playoffs compared to
- 14:05Speaker 1: the regular season is often a long, boring experience and
- 14:09Speaker 1: you just can't seem to get out of it. He
- 14:11Speaker 1: can't get out of it either. And see again, this
- 14:13Speaker 1: is the kind of stuff that drives me bonkers. I'm
- 14:15Speaker 1: probably the only one I admit it. Other people don't
- 14:17Speaker 1: seem to care because this has been going on for years.
- 14:19Speaker 1: But for me, it bothers me. You don't need to
- 14:22Speaker 1: romanticize everything. Not everything is a romantic Hallmark movie. You
- 14:28Speaker 1: don't need to do it. Okay, it's okay. It's like
- 14:31Speaker 1: going down to the Bronx Diner watching the coverage of
- 14:35Speaker 1: Aaron Judge. You go down to the Bronx Diner and
- 14:37Speaker 1: the menu had a main course of hyperbole and the
- 14:41Speaker 1: side dish was exaggeration. That was the Aaron Judge meo.
- 14:45Speaker 1: There the broadcasters who fall in love with the story,
- 14:49Speaker 1: it's all about the story. Before the story's been written.
- 14:53Speaker 1: They've already put the story out there like that. That's
- 14:56Speaker 1: the they want that Back in the day, it's called
- 14:59Speaker 1: the Reggie mal where I've been waiting, waiting for years
- 15:03Speaker 1: to crown Aaron Judge and the.
- 15:06Speaker 3: Big Mammoth home run Judge hits. Okay, there you go.
- 15:09Speaker 1: It's like, it's not some kind of cinematic breakthrough for
- 15:15Speaker 1: Aaron Judge.
- 15:16Speaker 3: It's not.
- 15:16Speaker 4: Now.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Aaron Judge's moment and this is the reality. I'll
- 15:20Speaker 1: be the grown up in the room here. So Aaron
- 15:22Speaker 1: Judge's momentt in playoff baseball. His moment happened in the
- 15:28Speaker 1: twenty twenty four World Series when the announcer said, oh
- 15:33Speaker 1: my god, Aaron Judge muffed it. He muffed the fly
- 15:37Speaker 1: ball in center field during Game five. My favorite inning
- 15:40Speaker 1: in Yankee Baseball history, by the way, Game five, the
- 15:44Speaker 1: fifth inning of Game five of the twenty twenty four
- 15:46Speaker 1: World Series, when he.
- 15:47Speaker 3: Literally dropped the ball. Not my opinion, he literally dropped
- 15:51Speaker 3: the ball. He dropped it.
- 15:53Speaker 1: The Yankees doway five run lead to the Dodgers, and
- 15:57Speaker 1: that is the clip that is going to live forever.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Not a home run in Yankee Stadium in Game three
- 16:05Speaker 1: of the Divisional round of the playoffs against the Toronto
- 16:08Speaker 1: Blue Jays. Judge also batted two twenty two in the
- 16:11Speaker 1: World Series last year. That's not very helpful to the
- 16:15Speaker 1: Aaron Judge marching in shout of society. Not exactly the
- 16:17Speaker 1: stuff of legends. So you want a malment, right, You're
- 16:21Speaker 1: all about the molment right there. You know, Reggie Jackson
- 16:23Speaker 1: had three dingers in one night against the Dodgers, and
- 16:25Speaker 1: that was the Reggie Malmon.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Right.
- 16:27Speaker 3: People talk about that because Misster October.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Because of that night and until Aaron Judge, and this
- 16:33Speaker 1: is gonna be a bold take. Nobody else has this
- 16:35Speaker 1: take until Aaron Judge gets it done. I gotta get
- 16:38Speaker 1: her done in the World Series. And then at the
- 16:41Speaker 1: end of the World Series and the last team standing
- 16:43Speaker 1: is the New York Yankees. Until that happens, then the moment,
- 16:49Speaker 1: no matter how many times Joe Davis says.
- 16:51Speaker 3: That's the moment, it doesn't know, and Joe.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Can stop sending the heart emojis about Aaron Judges just stuff.
- 16:59Speaker 1: We'll you know when Aaron Judge is the last man
- 17:02Speaker 1: standing and is the reason the super nova the Yankees
- 17:06Speaker 1: win in October. Now, I assume you play with the
- 17:09Speaker 1: Yankees long enough, you're going to win. Yeah, how hard
- 17:11Speaker 1: it is to play with the Yankees for ten years
- 17:13Speaker 1: and not win a World Series. Mathematically, it's very rarely
- 17:17Speaker 1: happened in the history of the Yankees. So at some
- 17:18Speaker 1: point they're going to win. Not this year they're gonna win,
- 17:21Speaker 1: but at some point they're going to win. Right now, now,
- 17:23Speaker 1: last words, we go to Motown and a game that
- 17:27Speaker 1: was supposed to be an Island game but turned out
- 17:29Speaker 1: to be just another random game that a few people watched.
- 17:33Speaker 1: It was on FS two Fox Sports two FS one
- 17:37Speaker 1: had the well the first hour of the Marinder Tiger
- 17:40Speaker 1: game was on the regular FS one channel, and then
- 17:44Speaker 1: they bumped it because the Yankees have more fans than
- 17:47Speaker 1: the Mariners and the Tigers. We'll go to Motown where
- 17:49Speaker 1: the Mariners are on the brink. They're on the Robbie
- 17:53Speaker 1: the Mariner fan, cannot sleep. He's up all night crying. Craig,
- 17:57Speaker 1: JJ and Renton, they're all excited, right, They can't believe it.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Even Nostradinas, his cynical ass, is excited about this. So
- 18:06Speaker 1: the Mariners could get back to the America League Championship Series.
- 18:09Speaker 1: They're this close.
- 18:11Speaker 3: Cal Rally, the Big Dumper hit a home run.
- 18:15Speaker 1: There, two run shot, and Eugenio Suarez hit a home run,
- 18:19Speaker 1: picked him up at the trade deadline from the d Backs,
- 18:22Speaker 1: and JP Crawford sent one into the bleachers as well.
- 18:26Speaker 3: There sold those shots for those guys.
- 18:28Speaker 1: As Seattle doubled up the Tigers in a game the
- 18:32Speaker 1: final scorer is eight to four. Was not that close,
- 18:34Speaker 1: and so Seattle now two to one best of five lead.
- 18:37Speaker 1: There one went away from advancing. Game was delayed almost
- 18:40Speaker 1: three hours because God was crying for some reason.
- 18:44Speaker 3: I don't know why.
- 18:45Speaker 1: The Mariners are within a win of their first alcs.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Since twenty oh one.
- 18:52Speaker 1: I was a child in twenty oh one, my god,
- 18:55Speaker 1: barely alive, and here we are, all right. So the
- 18:58Speaker 1: first chance will come later on in afternoon game here
- 19:02Speaker 1: on Wednesday at Coomerica Park. If they screw that one up,
- 19:06Speaker 1: they'll go back Friday to Seattle with another opportunity. But
- 19:09Speaker 1: the better story is on the loser's side, So quickly,
- 19:12Speaker 1: what is wrong with the Motors City Kitties. I thought
- 19:16Speaker 1: they'd fix their problems that beat the Cleveland Guardians and
- 19:19Speaker 1: the wild card rounds.
- 19:20Speaker 3: So they'd fix things. Fix it.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Well, the first thing is rather obvious watching the Tigers.
- 19:25Speaker 1: It's like every other suck bag team, and the Tigers
- 19:28Speaker 1: weren't like this for the first couple months of the
- 19:30Speaker 1: baseball season, but they clearly have defective bats. It looked
- 19:34Speaker 1: like they were swinging pull noodles out there, like you
- 19:38Speaker 1: know in the summertime in the pool, you got those
- 19:40Speaker 1: little thin pool noodles and all that, and the Tiger
- 19:43Speaker 1: lineup yet again, that check engine light popping up for
- 19:46Speaker 1: the Tigers line up there flashing pretty much every get
- 19:48Speaker 1: bad when you do the math on this. Now, the
- 19:51Speaker 1: big thumpers if you want to call that Riley Green
- 19:55Speaker 1: and Spencer Torkelsen. What a great name, Spencer Torklsen.
- 19:59Speaker 3: My god.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Anyway, those two guys are supposed to be the big cats,
- 20:03Speaker 1: the big kitty cats for the Detroit Tigers, and kind
- 20:08Speaker 1: of house kittens, you know, look house kittens at this point, hello.
- 20:12Speaker 3: Kitty, Yeah yeah yeah.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Between them, they have hit the ball about as hard
- 20:18Speaker 1: as a really good soft serve machine, that delicious soft
- 20:23Speaker 1: serve ice cream. Yeah, like that kind of classic Detroit misery.
- 20:27Speaker 1: We can go through the whole thing here. You know
- 20:29Speaker 1: the scene, right, grace, guys over Detroit, you know, rusted
- 20:32Speaker 1: out factories, sad parade down Woodward Avenue, and that's Detroit sports, right.
- 20:39Speaker 1: The Tigers, the Comerica part. Now, this is the home
- 20:43Speaker 1: game for them. They won a game in Seattle, so
- 20:45Speaker 1: here's a home game, and of course it turns into
- 20:48Speaker 1: a haunted house yet again. Sixty eight strikeouts in six
- 20:52Speaker 1: playoff games for the Detroit Tigers. Sixty eight strikeouts in
- 20:57Speaker 1: six playoff game. That's not baseball. That is a job
- 21:00Speaker 1: fare for with machines is when you get a whiff,
- 21:04Speaker 1: you get a with the Mariners are not exactly the
- 21:08Speaker 1: one Mariners or the twenty seven Yankees. They're not this
- 21:11Speaker 1: guy Logan Gilbert, who's a good pitcher, a good pitcher, however,
- 21:16Speaker 1: Detroit made him look like Pedro Martinez for stretches in
- 21:19Speaker 1: his prime. There, they've scored six runs in sixty twenty eight,
- 21:24Speaker 1: six runs in twenty eight innings. So now they did
- 21:26Speaker 1: score some garbage time runs. They were down seven runs
- 21:29Speaker 1: and then not an offense. That's more of an Amber
- 21:31Speaker 1: alert for the Detroit Tigers here. And they appear to
- 21:34Speaker 1: be allergic to getting big hits to drive in runs,
- 21:38Speaker 1: and they just kind of break out in hives. It's
- 21:41Speaker 1: a problem. You might want to go to a doctor.
- 21:42Speaker 1: There's some cream you can get. You can rub all
- 21:44Speaker 1: over yourself there, good luck. Maybe they should use those
- 21:47Speaker 1: whiffle bats from Little Caesars used to giveaway whiffle bats.
- 21:51Speaker 1: They can use those because the bats they're using right
- 21:52Speaker 1: now are not exactly working. And now the Tigers their
- 21:55Speaker 1: season on the line. They turned to Casey Mizo. Casey
- 22:00Speaker 1: must because of you know, can't go above and beyond
- 22:03Speaker 1: the call of duty. Right back in the old days,
- 22:05Speaker 1: you say, all right, this is an elimination game. Trek
- 22:08Speaker 1: Scooble is going to be on the mound, but you,
- 22:09Speaker 1: oh no, you can't pitch him on short rest. They
- 22:12Speaker 1: will literally have to amputate his arm. So instead is
- 22:15Speaker 1: a good chance that the next time we see Schooble
- 22:17Speaker 1: pitch will be in the Grapefruit League next year.
- 22:19Speaker 3: As if the Tigers.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Do not win this game, it's really like it kind
- 22:23Speaker 1: of is must win, right for the Mariors, I gotta
- 22:25Speaker 1: win this game because he got Schooble in Game five,
- 22:28Speaker 1: And for the Tigers, it's like, well, if they win,
- 22:31Speaker 1: it's must win because they otherwise they're done.
- 22:33Speaker 3: So it's really a must win today.
- 22:34Speaker 1: But the Tiger's not going to go with Schooble unless
- 22:37Speaker 1: a last minute change happens.

- 25:02Speaker 1: Lead this hour from Sinsinady a follow up follow up.
- 25:09Speaker 3: To a previous mal monologue.
- 25:11Speaker 1: A few days back, we ranted and raved about the
- 25:15Speaker 1: fact that the Cincinnati ben Gals head coach Jack Taylor
- 25:19Speaker 1: had announced he had unwavering support for Jake Browning unwavering
- 25:28Speaker 1: support for his starting quarterback. I went back, I checked
- 25:33Speaker 1: my notes because I thought, well, did he do that?
- 25:35Speaker 1: I tell you, yeah, that was six days ago, so
- 25:43Speaker 1: we now know unwavering support last six days.
- 25:47Speaker 3: That's it. Because if you have not heard, the Bengals
- 25:50Speaker 3: have made a chance. Hold on, I call them by
- 25:52Speaker 3: their wrong.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Name, the Ben Gals, or if you like better, the
- 25:56Speaker 1: bung Gals.
- 25:58Speaker 3: Well, they made a change at quarterback. If you have
- 26:00Speaker 3: not heard, I don't know where you've been.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Cincinnati has gone out and traded for a Super Bowl hero.
- 26:06Speaker 1: They have made their move, Joe Flacco. You gotta find
- 26:18Speaker 1: the idiot in the room. That would be the Bengals.
- 26:24Speaker 3: I'm not making that. You think I'm lying, I'm not
- 26:25Speaker 3: making this up. I am not.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Cincinnati has acquired Joe Flacco in the very rare Ohio,
- 26:33Speaker 1: Ohio trade. Dick and Dayton's heads exploded right now.
- 26:36Speaker 3: I can't believe it better. I don't know what to do.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Anyway, So Joe Flacco traded within the division. If you
- 26:42Speaker 1: don't listen to the whole show, Dick and Dayton usually
- 26:43Speaker 1: calls the last hour. He's our Ohio sports expert. So
- 26:48Speaker 1: there is Cincinnati acquiring Joe Flacco a trade with the
- 26:50Speaker 1: Cleveland football team. The Ben Goals also received a sixth.
- 26:55Speaker 3: Round draft pick. The Browns landed a fifth round pick.
- 27:00Speaker 1: It was like a trade, a swap of picks and
- 27:03Speaker 1: moving parts and all that. But anyway, let us discuss
- 27:05Speaker 1: the question who cares about traffics. Traffics are the losers.
- 27:09Speaker 1: So how do you dissect the rotting carcass of Joe
- 27:13Speaker 1: Flacco being repackaged to cross the state of Ohio little
- 27:18Speaker 1: in state commerce as he goes from the Browns to
- 27:21Speaker 1: the Bengals. So on this one, I've got out Fox
- 27:24Speaker 1: game show rerun and medical lab and we will combine
- 27:30Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are gonna make
- 27:33Speaker 1: your Babushka's favorite cheese doodles, because every Babushka loves good
- 27:38Speaker 1: cheese doodles. So number you jumped the gun number all right?
- 27:50Speaker 1: So my first thought on this the Bengals making the trade.
- 27:55Speaker 3: This is unbelieved. This is crazy.
- 27:56Speaker 1: So uh, this is the dick the Dictionary definition of
- 28:01Speaker 1: to make a trade. Just to make a trade, you
- 28:04Speaker 1: make a change, just to make it change. Right, It's
- 28:06Speaker 1: a lateral move right into the landfill. You are already
- 28:11Speaker 1: heading towards the landfill, and you've now made the move
- 28:16Speaker 1: a little faster. You've put a little pedal to the metal.
- 28:18Speaker 1: There trash out garbage in. Trash out garbage in right there.
- 28:25Speaker 1: So the Cincinnati Front Office, I love this. So in
- 28:30Speaker 1: the cartoon bubble in mind, I want to see if
- 28:32Speaker 1: you agree with me on this.
- 28:33Speaker 3: So in the.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Cartoon bubble in my head, the Bengals front office and
- 28:38Speaker 1: coaching staff they're like, well, publicly, we have unwavering support
- 28:40Speaker 1: for Jake Browning. Privately they were essentially cold calling other
- 28:46Speaker 1: NFL front offices like a telemarketer at dinner time and saying, hey, Hi,
- 28:53Speaker 1: this is Joe Blow from the Cleveland Browns. Do you
- 28:57Speaker 1: have any washed up quarterbacks that are lying around collecting
- 29:00Speaker 1: dust that we can have? And so they called every
- 29:03Speaker 1: team and then that like, the last one they called
- 29:05Speaker 1: was the Cleveland Browns, and Cleveland was trying not to laugh.
- 29:09Speaker 1: The front office there this shiit sure we got a guy.
- 29:13Speaker 1: We got a guy for you, no problem. And so
- 29:17Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you're not getting the twenty thirteen version
- 29:20Speaker 1: from Baltimore. Joe Flacco has been living off that one
- 29:24Speaker 1: magic carpet ride for over a decade. How long does
- 29:29Speaker 1: this last? What is the statue of limitations on a
- 29:32Speaker 1: Super Bowl run? Well, for Joe Flacco, he's going on
- 29:34Speaker 1: twelve years, twelve years, and the last great moment he
- 29:41Speaker 1: had was twelve years ago. It's what and Flacco continues
- 29:46Speaker 1: and this is a solid move This is the same
- 29:48Speaker 1: move that criminals make. They move locations rapidly to out
- 29:53Speaker 1: fox the authorities. You got to be one step ahead
- 29:56Speaker 1: of the law, is what they say. So since twenty
- 29:58Speaker 1: eighteen se in years, Joe Flacco has now played for
- 30:03Speaker 1: six different teams. He has started forty one games. He's
- 30:09Speaker 1: fourteen and twenty seven, which I didn't play in the NFL.
- 30:12Speaker 1: I'm told that's not good. Fifty nine touchdowns, thirty eight
- 30:15Speaker 1: interceptions in a gaggle of fumbles, and he's officially hit
- 30:19Speaker 1: the AFC North punch card. He's got three of the
- 30:24Speaker 1: four teams in the division. The only one he's missing
- 30:26Speaker 1: is the Pittsburgh Steelers. So good luck to Sean the
- 30:28Speaker 1: Hood Guy and the other Steeler fans because Joe Flacco
- 30:31Speaker 1: will be playing for you. It's inevitable next season. So
- 30:35Speaker 1: that the Browns somehow come out of this ahead. They
- 30:39Speaker 1: were able to put Joe Flacco on offer up with
- 30:43Speaker 1: a free come by pick it up yourself tag, and
- 30:48Speaker 1: then somebody said, well, we'll pay you something for that,
- 30:50Speaker 1: and said, well, we don't want anything, We're gonna give
- 30:51Speaker 1: it away. Why no, I want to give you something, Well,
- 30:53Speaker 1: we don't want anything. Well, fine, okay, I'll take it. Fine,
- 30:55Speaker 1: go ahead. And so they flipped him for a pick,
- 30:59Speaker 1: swap a fifth for a sixth, and so they get
- 31:04Speaker 1: to upgrade the draft board and all that stuff. Meanwhile,
- 31:06Speaker 1: the Bengals, the Bungals there in Cincinnati, they just bought
- 31:12Speaker 1: a sedan off the interweb that has three hundred thousand
- 31:17Speaker 1: miles on it and a bad transmission.
- 31:21Speaker 3: That is what they got.
- 31:22Speaker 1: And of course the social media world, the bots, what's up?
- 31:26Speaker 3: Bots?
- 31:27Speaker 1: The bots are all excited, they're all horny because, oh,
- 31:29Speaker 1: does this mean Shirdar Sanders is now going to be
- 31:31Speaker 1: a heart beat away or a broken ankle away from
- 31:35Speaker 1: starting for Cleveland.
- 31:36Speaker 3: I don't know about that. Maybe not, maybe not.
- 31:38Speaker 1: But the story in Cincinnati is capital h humiliation. You
- 31:45Speaker 1: have your head coach a week ago announce you have
- 31:48Speaker 1: unwavering support, unwavering support for your quarterback, Jake Browning, and
- 31:54Speaker 1: Jake Browning has been so bad he does deserve to
- 31:57Speaker 1: lose his job. But when you come out over the
- 31:59Speaker 1: time story, we don't believe co is. We just mock
- 32:01Speaker 1: coaches and low information fans. The dumb dumbs. They believe
- 32:05Speaker 1: everything right, They believe everything they hear from these.
- 32:07Speaker 3: School Why would he lie? I don't understand. Shut up anyway.
- 32:13Speaker 3: So back to the story.
- 32:14Speaker 1: So Jake Browning deserved to get demoted, He got the
- 32:18Speaker 1: mot he deserves a wedgie someone he's so bad, he's
- 32:22Speaker 1: a weg. But when you say unwavering support and then
- 32:24Speaker 1: a week later you've traded for somebody else who also
- 32:27Speaker 1: sucks Jake Browning, the media of the Malar math on this.
- 32:30Speaker 3: He had eight.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Interceptions in four games, and he has been replaced by
- 32:35Speaker 1: a boomer in Joe Flacco, who's also cooked. Joe Flacco
- 32:41Speaker 1: absolutely cooked. There, I absolutely cooked, And you can have
- 32:45Speaker 1: all the veteran presence you'll want the adult in the room.
- 32:51Speaker 1: But this is just again, as we said, change for
- 32:53Speaker 1: chain's sake for the Cincinnati Bengals. Here the malor report card,
- 32:59Speaker 1: the report card record. The Bengals get a D, they
- 33:03Speaker 1: get the date. Congratulations there, Joe Flacco has a few
- 33:07Speaker 1: less maggots than Jake Browning on his body, so congratulations,
- 33:13Speaker 1: there's less vermin on on Flacco.
- 33:16Speaker 3: He's by no means good. I couldn't.
- 33:18Speaker 1: I couldn't give him an F because Jake Browning is
- 33:21Speaker 1: an F quarterback and Flacco's a D. So you upgraded
- 33:25Speaker 1: from an F to a D. You still have to
- 33:27Speaker 1: go to summer school, so I'm sorry about that. Now
- 33:30Speaker 1: the Browns get a C. You can't get too excited
- 33:33Speaker 1: about a draft pick because only I can't see what
- 33:37Speaker 1: I want to do. But this is people that I'm
- 33:39Speaker 1: not big fans.
- 33:40Speaker 3: Of Schrendrick's dingle Berry's love the draft.
- 33:43Speaker 1: They get so excited for it. It's not a football trade.
- 33:46Speaker 1: It's more of a pity swap by the Browns, like,
- 33:49Speaker 1: oh man, you're part of the cartel Cincinnati, and you're
- 33:52Speaker 1: embarrassing all of us.
- 33:53Speaker 3: We got to get you somebody else here to take
- 33:54Speaker 3: our trash. Here you go, all right now, page too.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Speaking of trash, Oh Dell Beckham and your oh be
- 34:01Speaker 1: Jay remember him former NFL player Odell Beckham.
- 34:04Speaker 3: Well, he is facing a trip.
- 34:07Speaker 1: To the natty list because he dabbled in the needle.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Little poke poke strong strong, Uh yeah, pds six game suspension.
- 34:18Speaker 1: He was a non factor with the Miami Dolphins. Might
- 34:21Speaker 1: remember last season. However, he still is holding out hope.
- 34:27Speaker 1: Granted it's a faint hope, but Odell Beckham that he
- 34:30Speaker 1: will play for a contender not just in the NFL,
- 34:34Speaker 1: mind you, not just in the NFL, but for a
- 34:37Speaker 1: contender at some point this season. So he's getting that
- 34:43Speaker 1: good ayahuasca.
- 34:44Speaker 3: It clearly is.
- 34:46Speaker 1: In fact, he specifically mentioned the Steelers, MS and cans
- 34:54Speaker 1: Uh City as possibilities during an appearance on a Fledgling
- 34:59Speaker 1: Jock podcast.
- 35:00Speaker 3: There are so many, they're all the same.
- 35:02Speaker 1: He said, quote Beckham, you can say whatever you want
- 35:06Speaker 1: about me.
- 35:08Speaker 3: Well, that's right. I'm a talk shows That's what I do.
- 35:09Speaker 3: I just like to say what I want. Quote continues, He.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Said, I stand firm in knowing who I am today.
- 35:17Speaker 3: Okay, good.
- 35:19Speaker 1: He said, I ain't never cheated anybody but myself. Okay, well,
- 35:25Speaker 1: I kind of cheated the other people that are trying
- 35:27Speaker 1: to make rosters. If I guess he did this with
- 35:28Speaker 1: the Dolphins. He was mentioned doing steroids and still sucking.
- 35:32Speaker 1: If I read that right, that's like, that's kind of embarrassing, right,
- 35:35Speaker 1: It's like I did all this and it's like a
- 35:38Speaker 1: baseball player rubbing the clear and the cream on and
- 35:41Speaker 1: you know, putting a needle in your ass, and then
- 35:43Speaker 1: you hit seven home runs.
- 35:44Speaker 3: You're like, well, what's that about. I don't understand well,
- 35:47Speaker 3: I guess you didn't.
- 35:47Speaker 1: Do it right, dummy, So good anyway, So again Beckham.
- 35:52Speaker 1: The point of this is Beckham's like, hey, I'm gonna
- 35:54Speaker 1: come back and play.
- 35:54Speaker 3: I didn't cheat anybody.
- 35:56Speaker 2: I am.
- 35:57Speaker 3: We keep doing what I'm doing it. You can say
- 35:58Speaker 3: whatever you want blah blah blah bla blah blah blah
- 36:00Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah blah.
- 36:01Speaker 1: And he mentioned the Steelers, Rams and the Chiefs. So
- 36:05Speaker 1: let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. What
- 36:09Speaker 1: is it going to take for Odell Beckham to return
- 36:15Speaker 1: to the NFL. So we're talking about a guy who,
- 36:19Speaker 1: again it's all because of the hyperbole of New York,
- 36:22Speaker 1: had a catch on a Sunday night game. If I
- 36:24Speaker 1: remember correctly, the Giants lost to the Cowboys. It was
- 36:27Speaker 1: a highlight catch al Michaels had to call there on
- 36:30Speaker 1: a Sunday night game. And here we are, and now
- 36:36Speaker 1: he can't even get a tryout with an NFL team,
- 36:40Speaker 1: Like he's going on podcasts trying to drum up interest,
- 36:43Speaker 1: like a politician trying to see where where the wind
- 36:46Speaker 1: is blowing. Here, it's it's kind of like watching at
- 36:48Speaker 1: this point, what Beckham needs. It's he needs to watch
- 36:51Speaker 1: a game show rerun of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
- 36:55Speaker 1: The only scenario I see Odell Beckham getting back, and
- 36:58Speaker 1: we all agree he can't play a him he's done
- 37:01Speaker 1: doesn't mean he can't get a job. It just means
- 37:02Speaker 1: he can't play. He's thirty two, but he's like an
- 37:04Speaker 1: old thirty two. So Beckham, he's gotta go Who Wants
- 37:09Speaker 1: to be a Millionaire? And remember one of the lifelines
- 37:11Speaker 1: they had.
- 37:11Speaker 3: Phone a friend, Phone a friend.
- 37:14Speaker 1: And as I've gotten older in life, I've realized that
- 37:17Speaker 1: you can have all the academia you want, you have
- 37:19Speaker 1: all the education you want, but it doesn't really matter.
- 37:21Speaker 1: It's who you know, not what you know. It's who
- 37:24Speaker 1: you know that's what matters. More so, it's like, hey,
- 37:27Speaker 1: he knows Sean McVay, Hey, ring Ring, Hey Sean. I
- 37:29Speaker 1: know I normally text, but I decided to call you.
- 37:32Speaker 1: My name's Odell Beckham. You got a roster spot for me?
- 37:34Speaker 3: Okay?
- 37:35Speaker 1: And he calls Aaron Rodgers, Hey remember that party we
- 37:38Speaker 1: went to back in the day in Hollywood.
- 37:40Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 37:40Speaker 3: Yeah, the Ayahuascar was really good.
- 37:42Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it's a obj Yeah yeah, So you know,
- 37:45Speaker 1: I'd like to like to get a job, and then
- 37:47Speaker 1: Roger will be like, you know what I'm gonna do.
- 37:48Speaker 1: I'm gonna burn some sage for you. I'm gonna I'm
- 37:50Speaker 1: gonna burn some sage. I'll manifest destiny this and I'm
- 37:54Speaker 1: gonna make it happen. And I'll also take you to
- 37:57Speaker 1: a darkness retreat.
- 37:58Speaker 3: It's gonna be amazing.
- 38:00Speaker 1: So Beckham's whole career at this point in time is
- 38:04Speaker 1: one big It's not what you know, it's who you know.
- 38:08Speaker 1: That's what it is. That's everything's hinging on that He's
- 38:12Speaker 1: you got tape. He's washed up from the tape. Two acls,
- 38:15Speaker 1: I believe. I think two, three cities one Kardashian. I
- 38:19Speaker 1: think it might be more than three cities. Right was
- 38:21Speaker 1: in the Giants, Cleveland, the Rams, Baltimore in Miami.
- 38:26Speaker 3: So four cities, Yeah, I might be missing one. I
- 38:29Speaker 3: go with four. I'm gonna go with four. So there.
- 38:32Speaker 1: But he's still got the roll the deck. So he's
- 38:33Speaker 1: still got that nice phone book on his iPhone. There
- 38:37Speaker 1: and see if McVeigh loves him, and Matthew Stafford trusts him,
- 38:41Speaker 1: and some of the Rams receivers get hurt Andy Reid's
- 38:44Speaker 1: wide receiver room depressing. It looks like a clear and
- 38:48Speaker 1: style at a dollar tree. Not a lot going on there.
- 38:51Speaker 3: And so so you're saying there's a chance.
- 38:54Speaker 1: But the problem you get on the phone with those
- 38:57Speaker 1: people and they're like, all right, you know, I remember
- 38:59Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, back the man.
- 39:01Speaker 3: But you're selling the name. You're selling Nostalgia's what you're
- 39:04Speaker 3: selling there. You're selling the.
- 39:05Speaker 1: Good vibrations from days gone by, not what's going on
- 39:09Speaker 1: right now. You have no separation speed that does not exist.
- 39:13Speaker 1: And if he gets back in Odell Beckham, it will
- 39:17Speaker 1: be on a.
- 39:18Speaker 3: Wing and a prayer on a wing.
- 39:21Speaker 1: He might want to go to the Saints because they're
- 39:23Speaker 1: big in praying, So go to the Saints. The Angels
- 39:26Speaker 1: don't play in the NFL, so I'm told so. OBJ
- 39:30Speaker 1: wearing those rose colored spectacles, the Gucci rose colored spectacles,
- 39:35Speaker 1: hoping that he can make some bad highlights, or at
- 39:38Speaker 1: least stand on the bench and pretend like he's playing.
- 39:41Speaker 1: Get to wear the uniform, do some cosplay and all that.
- 39:43Speaker 3: All right. Final point to the Land of Belichick. Follow up,
- 39:47Speaker 3: follow up follow.
- 39:48Speaker 1: Up docuseries Gone Bad, Docuseries Gone bad. A behind the
- 39:52Speaker 1: scenes look at Bill Belichick's North Carolina Tar Hill football
- 39:56Speaker 1: program has been.
- 40:00Speaker 3: Killed.
- 40:01Speaker 1: The kabash Not Gonna Happen will not be coming to
- 40:05Speaker 1: a small screen streaming service near you. We've learned that
- 40:10Speaker 1: Who Lou, which somehow is still in business Hulu. The
- 40:14Speaker 1: series planned all around Bill Belichick and his floozy girlfriend
- 40:19Speaker 1: his first year at Chapel Hill will no longer be happy.
- 40:24Speaker 1: Not gonna happen there. This comes just a couple days
- 40:26Speaker 1: after the tar Hills got publicly flogged by Clemson on
- 40:32Speaker 1: their home turf thirty eight to ten.
- 40:36Speaker 3: Yikes, that ain't good.
- 40:38Speaker 1: So question why did Bill Belichick end up getting cold
- 40:43Speaker 1: feet and North Carolina not going forward with the docu series.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Was it Belichick that put the kill switch on it?
- 40:52Speaker 1: Or was it Hulu that put the kill switch on it?
- 40:54Speaker 1: Inquiring minds would like to know.
- 40:57Speaker 3: So.
- 40:57Speaker 1: The obvious answer to this, if North Carolina was four
- 41:00Speaker 1: and one right now and they were the toast of
- 41:02Speaker 1: college football, then they would be choreographing and Belichick himself
- 41:07Speaker 1: would be choreographing drone shots of Belichick walking around practice,
- 41:13Speaker 1: and he'd be jogging in a gray cutoff North Carolina
- 41:18Speaker 1: hoodie with the powder blue North Carolina Tar.
- 41:22Speaker 3: Hill logo there, and it would be b roll.
- 41:25Speaker 1: They would show in the opening scene of the first episode,
- 41:29Speaker 1: back to work for the old chriz Old coach, and
- 41:32Speaker 1: he'd be walking around had the whistle whistle, whistle whistle.
- 41:35Speaker 1: He'd have all that, but for Belichick bailing the Belichickian
- 41:42Speaker 1: haters out there like, oh, this is crazy. Belichick likely
- 41:45Speaker 1: thinks this is some kind of pr move, like if
- 41:48Speaker 1: you could be a little bitty fly.
- 41:51Speaker 3: On the wall in the North Carolina facility. He thinks, well,
- 41:55Speaker 3: here's what I'll do.
- 41:56Speaker 1: I know this move here, so we'll just scrub clean
- 41:59Speaker 1: the bad video from the games and the practices like
- 42:02Speaker 1: it's a medical lab. No one will be able to
- 42:05Speaker 1: get any DNA any of this, and it's kind of
- 42:08Speaker 1: like burning the tape before the tape gets sent to
- 42:12Speaker 1: the front office. Of course, this reality is much different
- 42:18Speaker 1: here in North Carolina, because you get the seventy three
- 42:20Speaker 1: year old Belichick, the twenty four.
- 42:22Speaker 3: Year old influencer.
- 42:25Speaker 1: You lost to Clemson, got smoked, You lost the opener
- 42:30Speaker 1: to TCU, got smoked, a UCF got roasted, and so
- 42:36Speaker 1: they pull the plug on Hulu now I have no
- 42:38Speaker 1: insider information, but just using the brain that I was
- 42:44Speaker 1: given and just chopping by the law of probabilities, I think,
- 42:48Speaker 1: but most likely happened here like Belichick's not playing chess,
- 42:53Speaker 1: He's not you know, he's not playing even more like
- 42:56Speaker 1: hungry hungry hippos, you know, is what he's doing here.
- 42:59Speaker 3: But here, here's the thing.
- 43:01Speaker 1: You want to bet dollars to donuts that Hulu had
- 43:05Speaker 1: to deal with North Carolina. And then they once they
- 43:09Speaker 1: realized how bad this is and how terrible North Carolina is,
- 43:13Speaker 1: they didn't pull the plug, but they said.
- 43:15Speaker 3: Well, we need to have more editorial control.
- 43:18Speaker 1: And Belichick and George Don Hudson, it's more likely than
- 43:23Speaker 1: not that they freaked out.
- 43:25Speaker 3: They're like, well, they're gonna make us look bad. You know,
- 43:27Speaker 3: They're gonna make us look like country bumpkins here. We
- 43:30Speaker 3: don't want it.
- 43:32Speaker 1: And so if Hulu, if I'm right, and they were
- 43:35Speaker 1: the ones that wanted to have more not maybe not
- 43:37Speaker 1: final edit, but close to it. They got to have
- 43:40Speaker 1: a little bit of what they want in the show.
- 43:43Speaker 1: And Belichick's like, no, unless I control the All twenty two,
- 43:48Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. And it's the classic running from
- 43:51Speaker 1: the grind. You got to run from the ground. That's
- 43:53Speaker 1: the opposite of what Bill Belichick. The ethos of Belichick.
- 43:56Speaker 3: Is not the run from the grind. And this is
- 43:58Speaker 3: the brand new era of.
- 44:00Speaker 1: Bill Belichick at Carolina. It's supposed to be the redemption
- 44:03Speaker 1: arc and the grumpy genius proving that he can win anywhere,
- 44:11Speaker 1: at any time with any one. Instead, it has become
- 44:14Speaker 1: a very sad, depressing docu series. Five games, three losses,
- 44:21Speaker 1: no future, just a mess, no lights, no camera, no makeup,
- 44:25Speaker 1: no action.
- 44:26Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
- 44:29Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
- 44:32Speaker 3: Hey we got, I got? We got about that?
- 44:35Speaker 2: To the third degree is one big f gets grilled.
- 44:41Speaker 3: Gooblo.
- 44:42Speaker 8: Indianapolis linebackers I are Franklin suggested this week that the
- 44:46Speaker 8: Colts loss to the Rams was a blessing in disguise.
- 44:49Speaker 8: Franklin explained, quote in a weird way. It was a
- 44:51Speaker 8: growth of confidence for us. Ben was the Rams game
- 44:54Speaker 8: a good loss for the Colts.
- 44:56Speaker 1: So let me check my nose here, Coop, you smell
- 44:58Speaker 1: that bull crap? That is bull craft. No, they blew
- 45:01Speaker 1: the game. They had the game one, they blew the game.
- 45:03Speaker 1: If that's the case, nobody's had a better year than
- 45:05Speaker 1: the Jets. They're owing five, Come on next.
- 45:09Speaker 8: Jaden Daniels return to the Commanders over the weekend led
- 45:11Speaker 8: the team to twenty seven straight points to come back
- 45:13Speaker 8: and win against the Chargers. Now at three and two,
- 45:15Speaker 8: do you think the Commanders are on the way back
- 45:17Speaker 8: to being contenders?
- 45:18Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 45:18Speaker 1: In the end, nobody's established themselves as a truly dominant
- 45:22Speaker 1: team in the NFC. I was impressed, I think, and
- 45:23Speaker 1: the Chargers were all broken up and all that, but.
- 45:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought the Commanders looked pretty good. So yeah,
- 45:28Speaker 3: they will be back in the playoffs.
- 45:30Speaker 1: Whether they go on a magic carpet ride, that's up
- 45:32Speaker 1: for debate. And then they got the Bears. That's a
- 45:34Speaker 1: winnable game up ahead. Cowboys after that. So there's a
- 45:38Speaker 1: couple of winnable games up ahead for the Commanders next.
- 45:40Speaker 8: There's some college football analysts out there that believe that
- 45:42Speaker 8: the Texas Longhorn should bench arch Manning Ben.
- 45:46Speaker 3: Do you ever see that happening?
- 45:48Speaker 1: No. I think what they're gonna do is they're gonna
- 45:49Speaker 1: come up with some fugesi injury. They're two into the
- 45:53Speaker 1: whole Manning thing, and that is the royal family. It's
- 45:56Speaker 1: kind of like in the politics, the political world, you
- 45:58Speaker 1: don't mess with the Clintons. In football, you don't mess
- 46:00Speaker 1: with the Mannings, like like bad stuff will happen.
- 46:03Speaker 3: You just can't. You can't bench charge Ray.
- 46:05Speaker 1: Now, if he got hurt somehow coop then you could say, Okay,
- 46:08Speaker 1: he got hurt. Yeah, he's poets, he suck. Holy how
- 46:12Speaker 1: many monologues do we do on Archman? Waste of time?
- 46:15Speaker 1: My god, he's terrible. Anyway, there it is malardly third degree?
- 46:19Speaker 1: How did we die? Win?
- 46:23Speaker 3: I won James? I won hollowing James. That's a win
- 46:27Speaker 3: for me yet again?

- 47:03Speaker 10: Yeah, no opening, I have I have no opening thoughts
- 47:08Speaker 10: this week I thought preparing.
- 47:10Speaker 9: No, no No, it's not that there was no preparation.
- 47:13Speaker 10: There's usually something dramatic of love that happens in the
- 47:16Speaker 10: week that inspires me to be like, hey, don't do
- 47:21Speaker 10: this in your relationship.
- 47:22Speaker 9: You know, everything happened, everything's been really smooth.
- 47:25Speaker 10: So I'm assuming most people's lives and relationships are pretty smooth.
- 47:28Speaker 9: Right now, they're gonna tell me I'm wrong, So.
- 47:31Speaker 1: Let's hear what they got, all right, Mike writes in
- 47:33Speaker 1: he says, should I judge my girlfriend who doesn't know
- 47:36Speaker 1: the difference between animal species like ardvark versus ant eater,
- 47:40Speaker 1: cat versus dog, alligator, crocodile.
- 47:42Speaker 10: Well, you see, depending on where they live, they could
- 47:47Speaker 10: have different ideas, you know, like a bison is a
- 47:50Speaker 10: buffalo and then ardvark is an ant eater and you know,
- 47:56Speaker 10: I'm not going to say that last one, but uh,
- 47:59Speaker 10: a man could think he's a lepperkn too, and you
- 48:01Speaker 10: just got to deal with it.
- 48:03Speaker 3: Interesting or kick him out?
- 48:04Speaker 1: Interesting take third Dog writes and he says, is it
- 48:07Speaker 1: true that going to see a movie on a first
- 48:11Speaker 1: date is a horrible idea?
- 48:12Speaker 9: Kind of.
- 48:14Speaker 10: It's not bad if you go to dinner first or
- 48:18Speaker 10: go to a park or something. But the point of
- 48:21Speaker 10: going on a date is to get to know each
- 48:22Speaker 10: other and talk. And if you're watching a movie, you
- 48:24Speaker 10: don't really get that chance to div you can the
- 48:29Speaker 10: things you can fondle and kiss and you know, get
- 48:32Speaker 10: kicked out of a movie theater. But also, are you
- 48:35Speaker 10: a teenager? Do you really want to be that person?
- 48:37Speaker 10: Or do you have a house that.
- 48:38Speaker 1: You can sa in the back of the upper back row?
- 48:42Speaker 1: Grow up a jade dot from Utah? Who's he's all
- 48:46Speaker 1: grown up? I've met him multiple times, good man in Utah.
- 48:49Speaker 1: He says, it's a little drink. Noah, No, he's he's
- 48:52Speaker 1: a lightweight.
- 48:53Speaker 3: He says.
- 48:54Speaker 1: How do I break the ice with a girl that
- 48:56Speaker 1: I work with that I have strong feelings for and
- 48:59Speaker 1: tell it than I love her?
- 49:01Speaker 3: That's a big don't you have to like first dater before?
- 49:05Speaker 10: It's kind of a dramatic, Well you know what they say,
- 49:07Speaker 10: ben that love at first sight thing. But also if
- 49:09Speaker 10: you've been working with her for a while, you could
- 49:11Speaker 10: know that you actually love her. When you work together,
- 49:13Speaker 10: you have an even closer relationship, right, I could. But
- 49:21Speaker 10: a great way to break the ice, I would say,
- 49:23Speaker 10: get like an ice pick.
- 49:24Speaker 3: Maybe Yes, a Louisville slugger's always nice.
- 49:30Speaker 10: Yeah, And you know, if you really want to smooth
- 49:32Speaker 10: the ice out, you can get her on one of
- 49:33Speaker 10: those things that they use on NHL court.
- 49:36Speaker 9: So are those the bambinos? What are those things called?
- 49:41Speaker 9: You know what I'm talking about?
- 49:42Speaker 3: Ben?
- 49:42Speaker 9: What are.
- 49:46Speaker 3: I'm just gonna move on. Let's say hello to we.
- 49:49Speaker 1: I have a call for you, Blind Scott from the
- 49:52Speaker 1: North end of Boston.
- 49:53Speaker 3: Hello, Blind Scott.
- 49:55Speaker 11: Hi, everybody, It's October eighth. Great to talk to y'all.
- 49:58Speaker 11: I'm currentlyarticipating in October and it's you know, it's just
- 50:02Speaker 11: been like a stressful time and it's been a joy
- 50:04Speaker 11: at the same time. But my girlfriend lives in Oklahoma,
- 50:07Speaker 11: so you know, there's October. There's no nuts in November.
- 50:11Speaker 11: I'm thinking about mailing my keys to Oklahoma. But the
- 50:15Speaker 11: problem is if I don't have the keys for the Loctober,
- 50:17Speaker 11: then I can't unlock myself and I'll have to go
- 50:20Speaker 11: to the hospital. I'm just wondering if this is recommended
- 50:23Speaker 11: by the Queen of Hearts. I just wanted to see
- 50:26Speaker 11: what he'd said.
- 50:26Speaker 9: I don't understand where the lock is.
- 50:29Speaker 3: Charlie, you don't know.
- 50:31Speaker 11: You know October, it's called October. It's highly covered in
- 50:34Speaker 11: the October community. You locked yourself in chat.
- 50:39Speaker 1: I've never locked myself down for oct It's a real
- 50:42Speaker 1: downer for Halloween.
- 50:46Speaker 11: What about no nuts in November? You don't know, no
- 50:49Speaker 11: nuts in November?
- 50:50Speaker 9: Yeah, I have heard that. I don't know many men
- 50:52Speaker 9: who have accomplished said goal.
- 50:54Speaker 3: Well, some have done it, but not by choice.
- 50:57Speaker 9: There's no shave November, no shave November.
- 51:00Speaker 3: Options, so they just can I go?
- 51:03Speaker 2: You know?
- 51:03Speaker 10: All right?
- 51:04Speaker 9: Well, I think it sounds like a very dry time.
- 51:06Speaker 3: Do you have a fake girlfriend in Oklahoma? I'm glad
- 51:09Speaker 3: that you bet.
- 51:09Speaker 9: I bet she's beautiful.
- 51:10Speaker 3: Yeah, lovely woman and plastic because you think Scott loves
- 51:14Speaker 3: people from Oklahoma? Clearly? All right? VP writes and says
- 51:17Speaker 3: shoulder massage or foot.
- 51:18Speaker 9: Massage erry for me or someone else?
- 51:22Speaker 3: That's just that. Bob asked the question.
- 51:24Speaker 10: I think massage would be nice, but actually very ticklish
- 51:28Speaker 10: feet too, so that can go.
- 51:30Speaker 1: What is your better style of vehicle for a good
- 51:32Speaker 1: makeout session? Conversion van or convertible?
- 51:35Speaker 9: Oh, oh gosh, conversion van.
- 51:37Speaker 3: Right, it's an easy one.
- 51:41Speaker 9: The blow up mattress put it in the past.
