• 2:09
  Speaker 1: is the way that tire buying should be. So we
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: are back at it. In the audio world. The magic
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: radio box as some have called it. In our lead
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: this hour from the Pacific Northwest, as you had Matthew
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Stafford and the La r I AM's party bus driving
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: in to the Pacific Northwest Chew for a little playdate
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: versus that stiff Sam Donald and the Seahawks. You had
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Alt Michael's there and Herbie on the call on the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Amazon And did you watch? Were you checking this out?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Were you consuming the product? You? Maybe not? You were
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: doing some shopping? What were you doing? Really? Nothing? Else
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: going on. There's nothing else to watch. Well, if you
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: missed it, you missed a hum dinger of a Thursday
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: night came in. Was kind of like a buffet where
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: they have a little bit everything. You have the seafood
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: over there, you've got steak, there's some pasta if you're
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a if you're a vegan, you can go out the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: back door there and leave, but a little bit of everything.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: So the game for many lived up to the advance
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: building and Sam Donald, who was bad to the bone, bad, bad, bad, bad,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: bad to the bone. Sometimes good things happen to bad performances,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and Sam Donald connecting with Jackson Smith and Jigba for
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a touchdown and overtime after the Rams had gone down
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and scored a touchdown on a brilliant pass by Matthew
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Stafford and Polka Nka, and then Seattle said we're gonna
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: go for We're gonna go for the win. And they said,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: we're going to try to win right here our two
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: point conversion, knowing that the Rams were just going to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: go down the field and kick a field goal to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: win if they did not go for two. And Donald
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: did connect. He found a wide open player in the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: how does that happen? Does? How does somebody get wide
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: open at that point? Two point conversion? Complete game over?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: That's it. The Seattle Seahawks rallied from a sixteen point
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter deficit, converting on three two point conversions. The
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: math on that is just insane, and of course it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: not kosher, so it's not really legit. They end up
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: winning the end the final score thirty eight to thirty
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: seven on Thursday night, so Seattle, for the moment, takes
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a one game lead in the NFC West. But the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: game was not clean. It was marred by controversy, as
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the Seattle football team was not good enough to beat
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the Rams on their own. They needed some help from
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the league office, and one of the most blatant things
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my time watching football, there was
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a two point conversion that the NFL claimed tied the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: game at thirty. Now, for our blind listeners, the past
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: hit the ground. Normally that's considered an incomplete pass. It's
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a good jumping off point because it's really the story
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: everyone's talking about. So let us discuss the question. Did
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold and the Seahawks beat the Rams or did
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the Zebras take down the Rams. So I got Godfather,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: mister potato Head, and jukebox and we will combine all
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: some banana cream pie, which is what was thrown in
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the face of the La Rams. Now, anybody who knows
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: football knows this game should have ended thirty to twenty
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: eight Rams a two point win in regulation. Seattle was
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: given two points out of thin air, out of fin air. Now,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we believe in speaking the truth into the microphones of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. We can do that. We're not part
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of the mainstream. We're not on during the day six
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: am to six pm. They get paid more money and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: they have nicer cars and all that stuff. At night
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: we can talk the truth. And the truth is the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Rams got the screw job. They did one of the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: time horrific calls. I I don't know how to say it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: For Gayzy Sam Darnold pass deflected intended for the running
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: back Zach Charboneau, and it was ruled correctly on the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: field incomplete pass. That was the right call. They got
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: it right. However, after a replay review to the league
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: headquarters in New York, it was determined, surprisingly that it
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: was no no, no, not an incomplete pass. You're don't believe
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: your lying eyes. Do not believe your lying eyes. It
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: was a it was determined to be a backwards pass,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: all right, So it was not. It was not determined
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: there was a forward pass. It was a backward pass.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: So Scharboneau, who this is my favorite part. So he
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: just l l l l la la la la la la.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He walked over. He picked up the ball casually, you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: no concern. Uh picked up the loose ball. They gave
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: him two points for that. It is comically bad, but
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: it's very dust. It doesn't exist. It's not in real
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You can clearly you go back in here it You
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: don't even need to be uh with working eyeballs to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: know if you go back and listen, you can clearly
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: hear the whistle blow. And maybe I'm wrong on this.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I know times have changed. I guess I'm getting older,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: but I always thought, once the whistle blue, you play
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: through the whistle, that's it. Once the whistle blows, plays over,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: plays over. So the whistle blows, whistle, whistle, whistle, the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: whistle blows, the play dead, then Charbonneau picks up the ball.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Keep in mind, players, on both teams. Both teams stop
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: playing because the whistle, blue nump nuts at the end.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: There's the whistle, all right. So you got players on
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Seattle and the Rams who both stopped at the same
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: time because an official blue the whistle and apra ef
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and kept I mean with Jep diglous, I can't even
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: say it. The NFL decided to roll a two point conversion. Holcus,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: what this was more than just a guard an angel
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks, all right, there's some serious funny
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: business going on. Here is Sean McVay, the Ram coach.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Who is he gonna get fined for this? Here's McVeigh
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: pointing out, well, that's not kosher. What happened Take a list.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I've never quite seen anything like what happened on the
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: two point conversion where you're lined up to kick off,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: then they say it's a fumble because they had the
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: clear and obvious recovery. Now you tack it on, you
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: make it a thirty to thirty game. Very interesting. Didn't
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: get a clear explanation of everything that went on, just
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: because of some of the timing of it. They were
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: trying to be able to do that. But that's the
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: thing that I've said, I've never seen anything or never
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: been a part of anything like that, and I've grown
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: up around this game.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses. We don't do that. I don't
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: believe in that.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: It doesn't move us forward, but we do want clarity
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: and an understanding of, you know, the things that we
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: can do to minimize that when we rejected the two
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: point conversion.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: All right, So Coach McVay, two things. Number one, the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: reason you've ever seen it, It's never happened before. This
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: is unprecedented what happened here. This is one of the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: great injustices in the history of that fraudulent sport, the NFL.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Right insane. Let's play connected dots Mallard style connected dots.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: All right. So, the big story this week in the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: NFL was Pooka Nikoua going on a live stream, right
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: trashing the NFL officials, doing a dance which I apologize
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: for whatever, and ripping Taylor Swift and Jacksonville a bunch
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: of crazy stuff. So Puoka goes out and goes nuclear,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: has twelve catches. It was like he was running through
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the Serengetti. Twelve catches, two hundred twenty five yards a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: partridge in a pury had two touchdowns, including what should
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: have been the game winner. Well game shit entered in regulation,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: but the touchdown and overtime. The story is we connected
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: dots though. Is Pooka Nica right? He dared to question authority,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: He questioned the referees on the live stream. Is it
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: a coincidence that a day later this happens? Methinks? Not right.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: This was big Brother at the NFL sending a clear message.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: This was payback the horse head in the bed from
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the Godfather, an unmistakable message that was sent by the NFL.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: We control all of this. You mess with us again,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and the next warning will not be symbolic, Pooka, It's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: not gonna be. We We have the power to give
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: points that did not get scored. We are almighty, omni
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: present worth the NFL. Don't mess with us. Okay. That
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: was a horsehead in the bed, is what? That was?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: One thousand percent all right? And I would I would
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: be puking in my mouth if I was a Seattle
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Seahawk fan right now that I would want to I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: would really want to vomit at that, because you know
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you're not good enough, you know, you're not, and you
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: needed you talk about the Twelfth Man. How many officials
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: were on the field. That's like the you know, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: twentieth man. My god, so it's so bad. I don't
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: even what to say. It's such a crap call. It's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: not even I mean, they were at McVeigh said, they're
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: lining up for the kickoff and they're like, coach, we've
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: decided to give Seattle two points. They but they didn't score.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we felt like they needed the two points.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: We decided we wanted to give them the two points,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: but they didn't. The play was whistled, Dad, the play
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: was over. That was it. But no, we kind of
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: liked them, you know. We felt bad for Nostradinas and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: JJ and Retten and crying, craiging all these fan guys.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: So we had to give them two points. Okay, thank you? Wow?
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: All right, now as for the big picture here the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: big picture, So the question how concerned because the Rams
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: did end up being given the loss by the NFL,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: So how concerned should Sean McVay be with the Rams
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: losing this game in Seattle thanks to some help by
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the league office. So the Mallard panic meter. One to ten,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: one to ten, I'm at I'm at about a three
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: on the Malard panic meter. It took the league meddling.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: It took the NFL fuxing around with the outcome of
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the game. People talk about gambling scandals right in NBA
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and all this baseball. I mean this, this is clear
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and obvious for most you know. It took the league
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: meddling for Seattle to win this game, which tells you
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Seatle's not good enough. And keep in mind, the Rams
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: did not have their nuclear torpedo Devonte Adams, the cheat
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: code in the red zone, and they were missing a
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: couple of other starters. In this game. The Rams put
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: up let me check my notes here. They put up
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: five hundred and eighty one yards and thirty seven points
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: in a place that likes to pump their chest out
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and talk about how people just don't play well in Seattle.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: The twelves, oh, it's very the weather. Top five defense.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Sea Awks had a top five defense coming to that game.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Top five defense gave up five hundred and eighty one
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: yards and thirty seven points to a team without the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: without their number two receiver and a couple of other
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: key players. Yeah, okay, so there you go. That's it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: The issue for the Rams, obviously, is that you can't
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: factor in, how do you game plan for the officials
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: just giving the team two points when they didn't get it.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: There's really nothing to do on that. The RAMS defense
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: wears the scarlet letter to some degree here with the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Capitol d My god, you're up sixteen in the fourth quarter.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And I know it took the officials helping out Seattle,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: but that's that's that's not great. And the Rams did
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: play a little mister potato head here, the hot potato
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: game with the you know, they played the hot potato
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: with the live you know, it was like a live
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: grenade they were passing around. It's inexcusable, right, you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: f around you find out. But the NFL certainly helped in.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: And there's a bit of a pattern here the Rams.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Usually they just lose games more than get beat. Like
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: they didn't lose this game, or they didn't they didn't
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: get beat. I should say the game was given to
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Seattle in this case. But the fur balls being coughed up,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: they blew up a sixteen point. They really they blew
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a fourteen point lead because Seattle is given two points,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: so you don't get credit for that. You didn't You
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: didn't earn it. You know, real people know that they
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: did blow a nineteen point lead in Philadelphia earlier this year.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: So that's a bad habit and McVeigh needs to flush
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: that immediately. You look at the big picture, thirty thousand
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: feet up looking down, the Rams are perfectly fine. It's
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: not like they have some kind of home field advantage.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: There's not a moat at Sofi Stadium. They were in
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the NFC Championship Game a couple years ago. I was there.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: They played the forty nine ers. They might as well
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: have been played at the old Candlestick Park. There were
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: so many Niner fans it didn't matter. The Rams won
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the game, and the Rams can win anywhere. They're good
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: enough to do that. And as long as Stafford's standing
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: upright and the Fellas are relatively healthy, you're not ever
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: going to be completely healthy. And the Rams aren't really concerned.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, they'd love to play Seattle in the NFC
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Championship Game, and the only way Seattle can win is
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: with some help from the referees from the league office.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: So the panic meter is pretty low, and I'm sure
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: McVeigh will sleep fine knowing that this was out of
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: his control. I mean, the NFL clearly wanted this outcome
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: based on what they did, giving Seattle two points. Otherwise
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the game would have ended thirty to twenty eight. That's it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Game over, Rams win by two. All right, last word here,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: So on the Seattle side of things, being given a gift,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah? Did Sam Donald save himself with
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Seattle and that crazy comeback? Because Sam Darnald was just
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: getting roasted and deserved it. He sucked at a time
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you cannot suck. So did Darnald save himself? Because Seattle
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: ended up winning that game? So I'm going to vote
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: first on this, and I'm going to vote A and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: absolutely not. I go back to my point earlier. The
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Ogs know what time it is Seattle right now. They
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: got that shiny record. They're now in the penthouse in
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the NFC West. I wouldn't get comfortable, boys, it's more
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: like a verbo. It's an Airbnb Seattle standing on a
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: rickety pier and there's a big windstorm coming here, so
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: be careful. And hey, it's great. I wish the Rams
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: had gotten help from the Zebras. I didn't know. I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: didn't know that that was possible to get be given
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: two points. I've never seen that before. Watch football. I'm
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: getting old. I watched football enty live. I've ever seen
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: that the Zebras gave them more than a gentle nudge Seattle,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: And you know, call it a league issued shopping cart
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: shove if you will. And you know, suddenly some of
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: you are like, oh wait, we beat your Ram. The
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Rams lost, are you well? No, I know about that.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't be opening champagne and lighting cigars.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I would not do that. You know. Sam Darnold was
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: a haunted house from kickoff pretty much to the curtain
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: call here two touchdowns, two picks. He was sacked four times,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and for much of that game he was seeing ghosts.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: It was like a midnight Mattinee for Sam Darnold. And
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you know, you just know you can't win with him,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: so it's like, what are we doing here? It's an
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: exercise in futility for Seattle. The real Seahawk fans know
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: this guy's gonna break, just break your back. Seattle won
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: in spite of him, not because of him, and he's
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: an unreliable orchestrator. It's more kazoo than conductor. And you know,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: and I know, and every man, woman and child knows
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: when the music matters, the needle skips just a little bit,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: just a little bit at skips. And we've we've read
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: this paperback before. We saw it in Seattle. Last year,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: we saw it in Minnesota. Rather the last year the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: dog eared kind of predictable. So if you were really happy,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I good for you, you should send a thank you
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: note email the NFL, thank you very much. Appreciate it.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Boys on Park Avenue there, thank you. We hope you
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: enjoy the mirage while it lasts. Enjoy it, Seattle fans,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: twelve fans, whatever you call it. Because the jukebox is
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: warming up, and it's an Elvis classic for Seattle. Welcome
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: to Heartbreak Hotel. As as that's going to be the case. Now,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: as far as the MVP debate, does this end it?
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I guess that's the question. Does this ram lost kill
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's MVP campaign, his mojo for the MVP. I
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: don't even think that's close. Like again, I give that
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: argument side eye. Stafford played for most It wasn't perfect.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: There were some throws that sailed on him, but he
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: played for the most part like a five star chef
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: who was trapped in a kitchen fire. Four hundred and
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: fifty seven yards, three touchdowns against the top five defense,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: against the top five defense, did not turn the ball over,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: and he did it shorthanded. He did shorthanded without Pooka Nicoua,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: or with Pooka Nikoua scoring the touchdown without Devonte Adams.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: And he threw that laser to Pooka in overtime swhich
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you'd say, well, that's that's the sizzle play. If you
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: look at the sizzle reel, that's one of the sizzle
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: plays on the sizzle reel. And do you really dock
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the quarterback? Because the defense at diarrhea, Die Die diarrhea.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Now we know the refs had to send Pooka a message.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: We mentioned the horsehead in the bed. The defense did
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: not do his job in overtime. They did not. And
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: that's not on Stafford though to me, the real call
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: for the big loser, and they were trying to prop
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: this guy up. They showed him on TV. Is Chris Shula,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator of Aram's all name recognition. Another NEPO baby,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Chris Shula, and his team had multiple chances to make
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: a play in overtime and did not get to stop.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: And so Grandpa Don is rolling in his grave like,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? At least you're not as embarrassing
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: as my kid, but my god, you're my grandson. You
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: got to do better than that. What are we doing here?
• 19:48

• 20:29
  Speaker 1: To our lead. This hour, we continue our in depth
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: team coverage from the game Heard Round the NFL. One
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: of the most egregious calls you'll ever see. It never
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: happened before two point conversion ball fell incomplete. Players stopped
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: playing at the whistle, and one of the Seattle players
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: walked over and picked up the football and to give
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: it back to the referees. And they were lining up
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: to kick off the Seattle Seahawks there, and then they
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: side of the NFL, you know this helps Seattle any
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: push here, and let's give them two points. And they did.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: They give them, They give them two points. So it's
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: pretty wild. Pretty whack a doodle, pretty whack of doodle.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: What happened there, And we'll pay back to Puka Nakooa
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: would appear by the league office saying, hey, we got
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the power, boys, we got the power. We got the power.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Something else happened in the Pacific Northwest as Seattle was
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: given that win. They should have lost thirty to twenty
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: eight in regulation, but they ended up being given the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: win by the NFL, and they end up winning in
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: an overtime. But our lead the GPS is in the Amazon,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: so as the Seahawks were being given a gift against
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the Rams. During that broadcast, a former star of the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: franchise went viral. If you didn't hear about this or
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: didn't see it, Marshawn Lynch, Who's like the closest thing
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: we have to Snoop Dogg. You know how like TV
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: networks or leagues bring Snoop Dogg in is like their mascot,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and like Marshan's that in that spectrum. He's on the
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: spectrum of like, hey, let's bring this guy in. He'll
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: say some crazy stuff, everyone will laugh, it'll go viral,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: we'll move on. We'll pay them a bunch of money.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: So Marshawn was a guest panel lost on Amazon because
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: clearly they don't have enough meathead ex athletes on there.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: They had to enhance the broadcast on Thursday Night Football.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: So there he was next to Ryan Fitzpatrick, Andrew Whitworth,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Richard Sherman, and Tony Gonzalez, all side by side right there.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: They were hanging out together. And is there anything memorable,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: by the way about that Amazon broadcast? For me? I
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: usually hit the mute button. There's really nothing for me there.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: But you know, maybe you like it. You're fanboy of
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: X jocks, you probably like it. So Marshawn Lynch. He
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: was on television there and it seemed like he was
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: before he was on television. He was behind the production
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: truck and he was smoking and having a couple of
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: beers and kind of thought he was in the backyard
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: having like a neighborhood party with the boys. And let's
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: just say things got a little way. Take a listen.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: We have a little clip here. Take a listen to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch, and this is just a preview of what
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: he did pretty much the entire time he was on
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: being as you were.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: You a robberie guy, you got a robbery game memory,
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: you said, Robert.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Hm. That was one of the few bites that wasn't bleeped,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: which is odd, but trust me, all right, but the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: uh there was an actual a bleep bleep like in
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the actual bleep on the broadcast. But the story that
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: to me, that's an Amazon just trust me. Amazon chose
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to censor marsha On Lynch in like real time. It
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: was being bleeped like as he was talking. It was.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: It was wild whenever he pretty much every time he spoke,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: he included at least an F word in every sentence.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: discuss the question. All right, do you agree or disagree
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: with Amazon censoring Marshawn Lynch on its NFL coverage for
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the Thursday night Seattle La Ram game. So my observations
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: on this, I have the Pope, Porcelain, Throne and PhD
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: we are going to go into zombie mode. That's right,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: absolute zombie. It's a number one, number one. So do
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I agree or disagree? I'm just I disagree. I'm shaking
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: my head. No, it's a hard no. It's a hard no.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: This is silly with a capital S. Is what it is.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Does Amazon realize they're not Fox or NBC or CBS
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: or ABC, They're not governed by the FCC. I know
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: that's hard for you to believe, but the FCC governs
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: old school media. We're governed by the FCC. We're on radio,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: we have broadcast on hundreds of radio stations, have to
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: follow the FCC playbook. And television cable. Cable television doesn't
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: really over the air television does. And Amazon's streaming ring.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: They're not Sunday School, They're streaming curse words. Gonna blow
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: your mind or allowed, And isn't that the whole point?
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Like people that get rid of cable television, I want
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to I want people to curse. So I do a
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: podcast on the weekends, the Fifth Hour Policies. I'm allowed
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: to curse on the podcast. I did it for a
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: while when we started, and then it's like, I don't know,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I get too concerned. I'm gonna do it on this
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: the regular radio, and then it'll get me in a
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: lot of trouble. So I've cut back on that. But
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: if you're going to invest in bringing Marshawn Lynch, I'm
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: assuming Marshawn just kind of didn't show up on his own.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: They paid him and they I don't think he lives
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: in Seattle anymore, so they had him fly in for
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: this event. So if you're if you're going to invite
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: beast Mode into the house and then clutch your pearls
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: when he drops an F bomb like what are we
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: doing here? And seriously like that's like inviting the Pope
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: over and then being upset when he's bragging about the
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Vatican and quoting the Bible. It's like, well, the Pope,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: that's what the Pope does? I mean, what are you
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: expecting the pope to do? I mean, my god, you know.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: So it's the same thing, and Marshawn without cursing and weed,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: it's it's like going to a barbecue joint and they
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: have tofu ribs. Well, who the hell wants that? Nobody
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: wants tofu ribs. He's like, this is stupid, Like what's
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the point of that? And don't tell me. It was
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: like technical issues and all the place. They apparently have
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the ability to bleep in real time faster than a
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: YouTube ad. You can't skip. It's crazy. This smelled like
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: to me, this smelled like, hey, the NFL doesn't want that.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Our corporate overlords at the NFL Family first, deodorant family first,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: and all this. Meanwhile, the curse words were flying like
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: a nice Chamber of Commerce day in Siberia. The snowflakes
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: were coming down there as well, and it went viral.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Marshan sounded kind of like our caller Lucky Tony from
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the Bay Area, uncensored, unfiltered and undefeated. Now his masterpiece.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Marshaan was talking about his visit to Ireland, and it's
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: pretty funny. It's pretty fun Marshaan said. He was messing
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: around with Game of Thrones. I thought that was filmed
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: in New Zealand, wasn't it. I think it was anyway,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: said he was messing around with Game of Thrones. And
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: now he's got a quote he said, big ass dragon
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: at his house. And they said, well, how do you
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: have a dragon? You know what's going on with that?
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: And he said, well, he sent me a dragon skull
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: because he was speaking apparently just by talking in New Zealand,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: they'll send you a dragon skull. And then Lynch said
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: he was speaking Gaelic, so that must be fun too.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: The skull line. That was classic. That was classic. Like
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: he sounded like he had visited before the broadcast doctor
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Weed at the marijuana Dispensary in Venice Beach and he
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: just tapped to show up there. And of course if
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: you can't handle that, I would advise you not book
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: him on Amazon. What do I know? Now? Meanwhile, to
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Chicago we go where the Bears. You Foemi and FaZe
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and those guys are all excited. The Bears are playing well.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: They got a big game coming up on Saturday against
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, and quarterback Caleb Williams is in
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: the crossairs with the ABC broadcast group. Now we know
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: that Troy Aikman had to bug up his caboose over
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Williams and he was taking some shots at him on
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the ABC broadcast of a Bears came out in a
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: recent interview his partner in crime. Talking about Troy Aikman's
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: partner in crime, Joe Buck added some more context. Joe
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Buck explained that Caleb Williams had stood up the ABC
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: broadcast crew more than once, and Buck said, hey, he said,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: we sat on zoom waiting forever and he just never
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: came talking about Caleb Williams. I don't know what else
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: we can do, And Joe Buck said, has happened multiple
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: times this season. So the question what did you take
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: from Joe Buck and his commentary here on the truancy
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: of Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. So this is not a
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: scheduling snaffo. That is a demerit for character written in
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: thick black sharpie. Is what that is? It tells you
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: everything you need to know, Like what do we all
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: what do we all agree on? Growing up as kids?
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: One time is a mistake, two times is a pattern?
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: So say, okay, one time's a mistake. Keep doing it
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: and suddenly it's patternicity. This is not Innermurals at USC anymore.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: This is the the big the NFL, with the TV
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: contract the size of Lake Michigan, and it's on the
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: back of this kind of stuff. Like Joe Buck basically
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: said at the Bear's quarterback left the ABC crew standing
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: at the altar, if you will, staring at their zoom
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: screens like it was. It was just kind of frozen, like, well,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I don't understand here. It's really but that's not mysterious,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: that's that's not miscommunication. I wouldn't file out in a miscommunication.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: That is diva capital D, diva behavior wrapped in noise
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: canceling headphones. It just is it is. Here's the malord
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: math on this. So the league cells access, they charge
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of money, the networks buy it, and quarterbacks
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: are the storefront mannequin, if you will, right, they're the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: storefront mannequin. And you don't get to look, you know,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: you get to look at the storefront and not see
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: the mannequins because that's what the NFL is selling. And
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: you don't get if you're one of the quarterbacks, you
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: don't get to lock the door and go hide in
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the back. It's part of the gig. You don't have
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: to hang face to face anymore. Since the pandemic that's
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: pretty much ended. You just have to turn your phone on.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: How hard is that? How hard is that? You can
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: literally do it while sitting on the porcelain throne. You
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: could be dropping a deuce and talking to Troy Aikman
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and Joe buck right. You could also be scrolling TikTok
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: looking at photos on Instagram like a teenager. And you
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: don't have to make eye contact. There's no eye contact
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: to be made. There's none. And so Caleb acting a
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: bit like Beyonce refusing the media. And he's a rookie
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: now second year quarterback. He's not a rookie anymore, the
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: second year guy. And then the team is playing pretty
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: good football here and you're supposed to show up. That's
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: what adults do. They show up and pretty easy too.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: It's on Easy Street and he's already out there, Jaywalk,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: what's up with that?
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: All?
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Right? Final point to Ohio we go a big old
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: sign causing a hullabaloo in the Buckeye State and a
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: sign that went up this week in Cincinnati calling on
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the Bengals to make some changes. The billboard read fire Zach, fire, Duke,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: save Burrow. All right, let's discuss question this new billboard
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: in Cincinnati calling for the Bengals to fire coach Jack
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Taylor general manager Duke Tobin. How effective? How effective are
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: these billboard protests? That's the question. Now. I do like
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: before I get into this. I like the fact that
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: whoever put the billboard up a has a lot of
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: money and b thinks that Joe Burrow is not part
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: of the problem at all. Joe Burrow is the saint
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with Joe Burrow at all. In
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: terms of the billboard protests. This has happened many times
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: over the years. It's still despite the Internet, a chosen
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: tactic because you can't really avoid billboards. If you put
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: a billboard up from the highway on the way to
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: the stadium, everyone that gets to work has to go
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: through that particular highway. It's pretty hard to avoid a billboard.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Pretty hard to avoid a billboard. But this is the
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: modern version of storming the bastille, right, brought to you
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: by outdoor advertising and a Venmo account to pay the bill.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: But if you're honest, the Bengals ownership, the Brown family.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: What can Brown do for you? The Brown Family, Bengals
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: ownership group. I will guarantee you they saw that sign.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: They said, I saw the sign and they had to
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: come to Jesus moment. Absolutely, unless that didn't happen, Unless
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: that didn't happen, and they did not have a epiphany,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: did not happen. The billboard protests do not change power structures.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: They don't. They don't force firings, they don't rewrite contracts.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: What they do is attempt to embarrass ownership. Believe we're
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: past that now with the Brown family. If they had
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: any shame in their game, they would have been out
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: long ago. Now. They do create noise, they generate clicks
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: that if that was the stated goal, cowabunga dude, because
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: you did it. You did it, You did it, you
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: did it. You got your little media coverage and all
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: that stuff. You created some noise and it's a symbolic protest.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like a flare gun being shot into
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: the fog. You're not really accomplishing much, you just not.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Like NFL fans love to threaten to boycott, whether it's
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: the Jets or the Browns, and the Bangles, all these
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: suck bag teams are they threatened boycotts and walking out
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: of the stadium and all of this righteous flirt, you know,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: fury where they're just so excited on it until the
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: next game kicks off and then it's right back to
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: the stadium. Or if you watch on television, you lay
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: on your sofa, you got your big fat gut there
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: and you got nachos in one hand, you got some
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: peanuts in the other there, and you're yelling at the
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: TV like nothing happy. And the teams know this. They've
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: done the market research. The owners know this, they've run
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: the math on this. It's engagement, not apathy. Engagement not apathy,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: is what it is. And NFL owners have always had
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: PhDs and ignoring fans, the if ignoring fans and so yes,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: billboards work if you're looking to create a bonfire, a
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: very very expensive bonfire, burn baby, burn, burning cash for engagement,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: a brief moment of communal raid jup and people driving
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: by saying, oh wow, look at that man. They're unhappy
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: and there's the billboard. Okay, what are we gonna do
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: about it? Nothing, We're not gonna do anything about it.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: But there's the billboard. Okay, that's great, wonderful. You had
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: a nice little billboard up. That's absolutely great. Absolutely.
• 36:00

• 36:12
  Speaker 1: is one big Ben gets grilled gopolop.
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: A report on Wednesday said that with Patrick Mahomes's status
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: for next season up in the air, the Chiefs could
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: make a big move by drafting a developmental quarterback.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Oh big move, yes, Ben, did.
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: You see the Chiefs doing that?
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Well, they should do it if as long as he
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: can handle it. The I don't know how Mahomes is wired.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Brady got very uncomfortable with Jimmy Garoppolo in New England
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: and the legend as he forced the Patriots to trade
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Garoppolo because he didn't like the Garoppolo come of behind
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: his shoulder and as so, I depends how Mahomes wire.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: But yeah, smart, this is what good teams do. You
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: have a great quarterback, draft a guy, develop him, and
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: then trade him for more draft picks. Next.
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: The Carolina Panthers have won an NFL leading six games
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: as underdogs this season. They are underdogs again at home
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: against the Buccaneers team with an identic record. Do you
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: think they can come away with the upset again?
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, Well, if you watch Benny versus the Penny,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I do. They're a yo yo team. They're not a
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: good team. They're not a good team, but they're a
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: yo yo team right when you expect them to play poorly,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: they play okay. They're inconsistent, they're often reckless, they're unstudy.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: But this is Tampa Bay's a mess. Baker Mayfield has
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: been terrible the last month next.
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: So it was reported this week that Bengals coach Zach
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: Taylor's contract runs through twenty twenty seven, not twenty twenty
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: six like the team had previously announced. Taylor was asked
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: about it, and he said, I don't think it really matters.
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: I coach every day like it's my last. Yeah, And
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: will that last day come this season?
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: No?
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Because the Bengals are cheap. They'd have to put a
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: bake sale together, a pot luck, pot luck luncheon to
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: be able to afford to pay off his concert. At
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: least he'll likely be back. He should be fired. How
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: do we do? How do we do that.
• 37:47

• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Well, you have a movie past, don't you.
• 43:37
  Speaker 7: True, that's true, but you have to pay a little
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: like you have to pay a little upgrade fee if
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: you want to see things in imax, which I mean,
• 43:45
  Speaker 7: if you're not seeing this in imax, what's the point?
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: That's that's it's all about the visuals to me at
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: this point, because.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: The point is to avoid the up charge, that's the point.
• 43:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, But the story is like, there's only so
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: many times you can see you know, animated three D
• 44:00

• 44:22
  Speaker 7: So you know.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: That's just Ferg Dog and his bots. Yeah.
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: Probably. And last, but certainly not least, this weekend is
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: the release of the movie The Housemaid, and this movie
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: stars none other than Sidney Sweeney. Oh an Amanda se.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: A fan of her work. You appreciate her skills, yes,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: very to. She's a lovely lady in my apologies to.
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: Her, yes, But Amanda Seafreed also pretty pretty great actress herself.
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: And this is a wildly entertaining thriller starring Sidney Sweeney
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: and Amanda Seafreed, based on the best selling book and
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: Sydney Sweeney accepts a job as a living housemaid for
• 45:03

• 45:10
  Speaker 7: more dangerous, A sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal and power. Yes, intriguing.
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: We'll see if this one flops like our last movie.
• 45:20
  Speaker 7: I don't think it will. The last movie was about
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: a female boxer.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Now The Rain is actually gonna see this movie right
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: when the Cowboy game kicks off.
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: He's gonna go, Yes, probably if she's not at Disneyland.

  Speaker 7: But I'll be wearing my jersey with the upside down
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: Cowboys symbol.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Because you're cool. You're a cool person, all right, So
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I want to cool people.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Do hit.
• 45:44
  Speaker 7: A couple of things on the TV side here real quick. First,
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: is this kind of new experimental cartoon that they're doing.
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: It it's called Adult Swims the Elephant, and it premiered
• 45:58
  Speaker 7: on Adults well, it will premiere on Adults Swim at
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: eleven pm tonight. It's also available on HBO Max for streaming.
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: And so it's a one off experiment where they have
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: four different animators, the guy from Adventure Time, a couple
• 46:12
  Speaker 7: other famous animators, and they don't know what it is
• 46:15
  Speaker 7: they're working on, and each animator is responsible for one
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: of the show's three acts, but they were given virtually
• 46:22
  Speaker 7: no information about the other two parts, and so they
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: kind of are working together to create a cohesive story.
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: Four different animation styles, should be should be interesting. That's
• 46:33
  Speaker 7: available on HBO Max. And then, last, but certainly not.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Least, here we go.
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: Here we go on Wednesday, December twenty No, no, no,
• 46:44
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I'm wrong. It is Monday. It's on Monday, Monday.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, NORMALLYY don't release stuff on Christmas Eve.
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: On Monday, December twenty second, a new Netflix documentary L Way.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: That's Rights. Oh boy, now, Coop, are you gonna buy
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: your next car from the Lway dealership? Because he's got
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Doesn't he still have those car dealership? I didn't don't.
• 47:08
  Speaker 7: Does he still have them? I don't know if he
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: does anymore.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: No, he got rid of him.
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: I know he still has the uh the steakhouse. No
• 47:16
  Speaker 7: he does. He does still have the dealerships.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of money, and if you own a
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: car dealership, there is a lot. I don't know how
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: they make so much money, but there's a ton of
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: money in that, a ton of money. A buddy of
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: mine used to work in the car business and said, dude,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: that they're loaded. You can get in even if you
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: own a part of a car.
• 47:31
  Speaker 7: Do they used car dealerships where it's at right, that's
• 47:33
  Speaker 7: where that's where all the money is.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: I was told they make most of their money on
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: the service. That's where they really that's where they really
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: stick it to you. That's where it's kind of like
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: when you remember the old thing with Printer's coop where
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: you buy the printer, they give you the printer because
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: the ink would cost a fortune.
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: Oh, I know it, I used to.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was your game. That's right, that was your game.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: You were in that racket. Yeah, that's right.
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: Anyway, get your popcorn ready for that Lweight documentary. I'm
• 47:57
  Speaker 7: sure it's gonna be fantastic. And that's coop scooping entertainment.
