  Speaker 1: And now we get into it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Here we begin this hour in the valley of the Sun.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And that's where we're going to begin.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Another name has been added to the coaching ranks. Here,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: another box on the big board has been filled. If
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you have not heard and maybe you missed it, maybe
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you missed it. I don't know the news out we
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: have learned the cardon as that is plausibly an NFL team,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: not a good one. The Cardinals have picked their new
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: coach and it's some brotherly love. The Cardinals going for
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: not a Philadelphia guy, but brotherly love. Mike the Flair
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: who Mike the Flair is the coach of the Cardinals.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: The former Rams offensive coordinator, former Rams offensive cod de
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: grease to wait five year contract to be the head coach,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and he will be heading off to the Valley of
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the Sun. Arizona wanted Clint Kobyak, he didn't want them. Instead,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: he chose the Raiders. Matter having to pick between the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Raiders and Cardinals, it's like would I rather be? Do
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I want the electric chair or firing squad? Which one
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: do I want?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know? Metaphorically of course.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: All right, So the Cardinals owners sent up this glowing
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: statement and I gotta give you some of this. It's
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: such bull crap. I want to share it with you.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It's so much fun. These are so much fun, man,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: are they good? The statement from the owner said Mike
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Lafleur possessed quote all the traits necessary to lead this
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: team to success. Hmmm, okay, that you had to announce
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: that he had all the traits? Isn't that kind of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: obvious you hired him? Wouldn't it be kind of obvious
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: that you have all the traits but they had to
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: announce it. Then the statement went on to say he's
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: highly intelligent. Well that's good. Were you planning and hiring
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: someone stupid? Does that mean the last coach is an
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: idiot and quote exceptionally sharp? Doesn't that go with highly intelligent?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't you assume someone who's highly intelligent is exceptionally sharp?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: But what do I know? I just do the Overnight show.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: He was also praised for his creative football mind. Mike Lafleur, Really, oh,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: so you hired someone who's creative as opposed to the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: other coaches that weren't creative?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Described as a quote dynamic and innovative leader. What is
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: your evidence on that? Because he's never been a head coach?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: What is your evidence on that? I can go on
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and on. Now lev Fleir, who's the thirty eight year old,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the younger, younger brother, and he replaces Jonathan Gannon who
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: was wackadoodle out of Arizona there in early January, so
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: this has been an almost month long process or process,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and they land on they being the Cardinals, land on
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: mike LeFleur, another NEPO baby, getting the job there.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Let us discuss the question mike Le Fleur, the newest
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: NFL head coach, he joins the Cardinals. Does this move
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: excite the fan base there in Arizona?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Does it excite the fan base? So I've got my
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: observation on this.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I've got NBC Hit Show, stagehand and Anderson windows and doors,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: we're gonna play ABC one two three, ABC one two three.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So number enough, all right?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: No one And when I said I mean no one,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: no one is going to even roll over in bed.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Who's a Cardinal fan, even a casual fan. Hiring mike
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: LeFleur as your head coach. This is the biggest dud
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you could possibly have. Way to go, Cardinals, Way to go.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: You're not even gonna stretch, You're not forget you roll. No,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: there's no stretching. You're not even gonna check your phone.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: You just hit the snooze and you're in the snooze
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: cruise is what you're on right there. It's so bad
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals continue every coaching hire. They're remaking that early
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: two thousands, all the way up until twenty seventeen, that
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: NBC hit show The Apprentice, hosted by our current president.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: And because it's when you get the Cardinal job, it's
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: an apprentice situation, is what it is. Right, Arizona is
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: running in NFL trade school when it comes to the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: head coach, and it's like, come on down, you want
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: to be a head coach, All right, we'll make your
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: dream come true.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Why not get your feet wet, learn on the job.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Just don't break anything expensive, and you can pretend to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: be a head coach in the NFL. You get credit
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: on your Pro Football reference page and all that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: There is a pattern here, it's patternicity is what it is.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: If you look at the pattern here, one unproven leader
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: after another. Now, even when you hire a proven coach,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: there's no guarantee at least the person's shown the pedigree
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: when they've done it before, that they can do it again.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: And while I am not totally against hiring first time coaches,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: when all you do is hire first time head coaches. Well,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: that becomes a problem also. So that is now if
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: my malord math atrect not one, not two, not three,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: not four, not five, six consecutive, six straight head coaches
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: that have had no real head coaching experience or any
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: head coaching experience in the past as the full time
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: head coach. There was something that were interiom coaches, but
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the full time head coach that has not happen here.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: So at this point, I would think there's not many
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Cardinals fans. It's very small. It's called narrow casting, not broadcasting.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: But we are on in the valley the sun. You
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: wouldn't know that because we hardly get any calls from
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Cardinal fans. I wouldn't call either. I'd be embarrassed if
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I was a Cardinal fan. But anyway, so the fans
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: got to be numb at this point, emotionally frostbitten.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: If you will.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Here the franchise. They live in the suburbs, the Cardinals franchise.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: It's mediocrity meadows. It's a nice suburban neighborhood out far
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: away from town. And you text the fans.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Here's what they should do.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: The Cardinals should text their fans when and if Mike
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Lafleur actually does anything memorable, they can let them know, say, well,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: we actually hire somebody to do what they were doing,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: and I just don't hold your breath. Don't hold your breath.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: That's probably not going to happen here. And he wasn't
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: even plan a He wasn't even planning. Now the streets
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: are buzzing. As we mentioned, the streets are buzzing that
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals wanted Clint Kubiak and he wanted to go
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: to Vas. You imagine how bad your franchise has to
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: be for someone to pick the Raiders over your team.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Have you seen the Raiders the last twenty years? Their embarrassment, right,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: like all the tough rate. When I was a kid,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the Raiders were badass. Their fans were badass, and now
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: all of them are middle aged old dudes who used
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to be badass, and.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: It's really mean.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, anybody younger is like, I'm not a Raider fan.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: They suck embarrassing. You can't really be a tough guy
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: with edge wearing Raider merch when they lose every game
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: or just about every game, and they commitment to excellence.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: They tried to lose this year to get the number
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: one pick, and there's no great quarterback in the draft.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: They lost intentionally to get the top pick, and they're
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: stuck with the guy's a fourth round talent in Fernando
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Mendoza at the top of the draft.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Good luck with that anyway.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Back to the point, So the Cardinals here, they hire
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the sun Or they wanted to hire the son of
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: an NFL coach, They couldn't do that, so they hired
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: the brother of an NFL coach in Michae Lafleur. It's
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: a brothers act, is what it is here. So the
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: flour Blood brothers. Think about this, over twelve percent of
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: NFL coaches are related as as brothers. You've got the
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Harbor Brothers with the Giants and the Chargers, and now
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: you have the flour Blood brothers with the Cardinals and
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. So we've seen this type of
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: movie before with the Cardinals, and I don't expect the.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Ending to be any different here now.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Page two though, one of the big selling points, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I wanted to get into this with you, one of
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the big selling points as well. Yeah, he's never been
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: a head coach. Michael Flur but but uh yeah, he's
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: got listen, he's got the tree. He's got the tree.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: He's part of you know who's coaching tree. All right,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: So question, do you believe the Sean McVey connection, the
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: McVey coaching tree angle is a good omen for Michael
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Lafleur having success in Arizona?
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: So I'll answer this by saying it means nothing. It
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: means nothing, okay, and more so with the Rams. Now,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: there have been some McVeigh assistants that have gone on
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and did good things, but it's not because of Sean McVay.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It's because they knew what they were doing.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: And it's always odd to me to hire someone because
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: they happen to be part of a successful coach, because
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the most successful coaches do it mostly by themselves. Andy
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Reid in Kansas City, I put Sean mcvah in that
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: same basket, and people act like Sean McVay. He's gonna
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: leave a little container of secret potion and he's gonna,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: you know, take.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: It out of the sorcerer's workshop.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: He's gonna give it to Lafleur and say, Okay, you're
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: my guy, here's a little potion, and you can do
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: that and why not even though this guy Michael Lafleur
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: has been riding the caboose on the McVeigh Traine and
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: mcveigh's in the steam Inchy's and the steam engine, and
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: so that's what we've got. And so it guarantees Buckkus
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: squad doosh is what it guarantees here. And mcveigh's not
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: some cheerleader raw raw, let's go it is. I think
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: of a cheerleading coach. I think of Robert Sala cheerleader
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: right raw ra guy, great order, great talker, silver tongue devil,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Robert Salah. McVeigh he's a control freak in terms of
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the office. It's his production. Think of it like a movie.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: And McVeigh wrote the script. He's in charge of the cameras,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: in charge of wardrobe, in charge of where they're going
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: to film the movie, all of that. Everyone else is
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: a stage hand. So you just hired a stage hand. Congratulations,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals. You hired a stage hand.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And McVeigh he runs that productions. That's what he does here.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: So if you want to talk about the resume, Michael
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Laflora already ran his own show with the Jets. You
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: might not remember that because why would you? And did
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: not make it unscathed. When he ran the Jets offense,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: how did that go? Don't ask, do not ask? Is
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: puke in your mouth bad? When he was with the Jets,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: he ran the offense for two years.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: The Jets ranked.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Thirty first and eighteenth in offense. There's only thirty two teams,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: and boom goes the dynamite and he was shown the door.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Get out of here, went to Sean mcvay's coaching rehab
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: clinic out in Malibu, and now he's back as an
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: NFL head coach. So not exactly a glow up. When
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: he was coaching the Jets offense, there did not.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Go that well. And here we are.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: So and the issue is this Arizona kind of like
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: the Jets. Right, they're the Jets, but they have cactus
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: and sand instead of Jersey diners in pollution and all that,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: and so you.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Look at it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: They don't have an elite quarterback. Their quarterback's really good
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: with a joystick, not a football.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: That's a problem. They're gonna get rid of him anyway.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: So they don't have a quarterback.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: And they don't really have a solid roster it's pretty
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: mediocre roster that seems to be problematic, and it's like
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: hope in a paper bag. Well, I don't see that. It
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: looks like we know it's hoping there. We know it's
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: an empty bag. No there's hope in the bag. No, no,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: there's no, there's no real hope. There's just an empty bag.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: That's all it is, is just a m bag. And
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: so that's where the coordinators. You're supposed to earn your
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: stripes in theory when you don't have an elite roster
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: and you coach guys up.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: That's the argument.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Coach people up and they do a great job and
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. And in non elite situation, anyone can
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: coach when you've got a great roster. I mean, we'll
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: see what Lafur does here, but he's not gonna have
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: McVeigh there. It's a double edged sword because McVeigh knows Lafleur.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: The Cardinals are saying, well, he's gonna have Laflour is
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: gonna have an edge when you play the Rams. But
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: McVeigh also knows what makes this guy tick. So it
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: cuts both ways there. It's kind of like throwing spaghetti
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: against the wall. And seeing what sticks here. It's a
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: continues a theme there with the Cardinals, the vortex of average,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: the twiddling of thumbs. That's the cardinal way. There are
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: spam franchise. They continue to be the Arizona Cardinals of
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: spam franchise. They exist so the serious teams that are
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: trying to win can fatten up their records. And that's it.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: And if you haven't figured that out by now, I
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: don't know what to tell you. That's just how they
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: operate there. It's just a filler filler franchise now. Meanwhile,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: over the weekend, there was a story that popped up
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: that I wanted to spend a.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Couple of minutes on it. I think it's kind of funny.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I always get a kick out of this, and I
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: don't know if you're into it or not, but let
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: me make my pitch and see if you care about
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: this story or not. So over the weekend, we learned
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: that former NFL player Jason Kelsey his late night talk
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: show was canceled. He did a late night talk show
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: in the offseason last year. He might remember it, probably
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: don't because nobody watched it. And they're claiming they being
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: the Kelsey clan over the weekend, and the TV people
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: are like, well, the show's not coming back, however, planning
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: on pursuing some other opportunities, Like he didn't really want
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: to do the show again.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: That's the argument.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: So question former Eagles center Jason Kelsey's talk show not returning,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: his late night Friday night talk show not returning here
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: How does that story sound to you?
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: All right, so Kelsey, he did this, this dance his people.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: He left to pursue other opportunities, is what the story
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: claimed over the weekend. It's kind of like an ad
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: for Anderson Windows and doors. Really good framing, right, really
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: good framing, And I know why they do it. There's
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of stupid people, dumb people. Oh yeah, well
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: he could have done the show again, but he didn't
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: want to do the show. He had all the things
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: he wanted to do. Yeah, my fat ass that he
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: had other things he wanted to do. It's an emergency
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: exit hatch that they opened up. They framed it the
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: right way. Spin class. There's a courtyard here, they have
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: hot yoga. They might do some spin in there. So
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: it's like spin class is what it is. They're acting
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: like he chose not to continue the TV show and
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: that no one told me to lead, even it was
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: all organic and all that stuff. Of course, Kelsey was
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: not a host in the traditional sense. He was more
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: like a cardboard cutout with a microphone, very stiff, no timing,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: no edge, no hook. Other than that he did a
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: great job. And it's it's like a drad Old story right,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: spin spin, spin, spin, spin, It's hope, it's hope, it
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: lands on creative decision. The reality is that the show
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: had no ratings, apparently, no advertisers that liked the show,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: and no juice. So strike one, strike two and strike
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: three and bad boring and broke the killer bees, bad broke,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: boring and broke, and that's it.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: So grab some benches.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Hawk Harrelson, the old White Sox broadcaster back in the day,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: would say, grab some bench.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: He'll grab some bench. Go sit down.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I did the math on it. So ESPN averages seventy
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: million homes. That's down a lot from where they used
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: to be, But there are about seventy million homes. The
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Jason Kelsey Late Night Talk Show pulled in two hundred
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and ninety thousand viewers. Out of seventy million possible viewers.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Now that's extreme, right, because seventy million in the show
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: is on late, some people go to bed early. But still,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: let's say it's like fifty million potential viewers, two hundred
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: and ninety thousand viewers. Right, that's a garage sale. It's
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: about a garage sale. To give you some comparison the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: overnight show that we do right now in the middle
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: of the night, when ninety nine percent of the public
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: is sleeping, when you do all the downloads and all that,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: we challenge that number. And we're an overnight radio show,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: and he's on with a seventy million platform, Jason Kelsey,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: and no one was watching. And Kelsey got the gig
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: if you look at it, he got the gig because
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: of his last name. It's kind of a hot name
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: right now. And he had a crush on Conan O'Brien.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: He grew up watching Conan O'Brien. And the networks keep
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: confusing this fandom. He's like, wow, he's a big name,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: he's a fan. He must have talent. And there's all
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: of this Kelsey fatigue, which I think is legit overexposed.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: The leftovers, you know, it's like you leave it out
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: on the counter and it goes bad and all that stuff.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Less is more, less is more, and this was a
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: little too much, just a little bit too much. It
• 20:17

  Speaker 1: What did I say? It was incorrect? Burrito.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: The Raiders used to be cool. They suck an entire generation.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: The Raiders have been an embarrassment. I was supposed to
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: see it. Must pretend that's not the case. They Tom
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Brady has no idea what he's doing, no idea what
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: he's doing, and he's got free rein to drive the
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Raiders further into the bay.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: The abyss. There you go. So, uh see who else
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: we have see?
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Derek says, Malor was more invested in his boy Bieber
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: wearing boxers at the at the Grammys. I did not
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: watch a second of the Grammys. I didn't even know
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: they were on I I that's another thing I don't
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: care about. That was not on my radar. Although I
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: did have a past me and Bieber. You know, he
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: was cool back in the day, you know, as the
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: YouTube kid and all that stuff.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: We bonded.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: There was a game at the at the Staples Center
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: used to be called There in l A and the
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Bebes ran out and his hoodie touched my arm, Lorrain.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you know that, but me and
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: the Bebes had a moment. What a moment he did,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: very emotional.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: You know, and it was right Ben. I don't really
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: watch these awards.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: To watch award shows anyway, you know, I just.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: Think it's so funny because I've seen the juxtaposition between
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: what it is with celebrities that are normal celebrities and
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: then what it is with like porn star celebrities, and
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: porn star celebrities wear more clothing at their award show.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Than the Yes, yes they do.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Go and look at yes, I'm gonna go with I'm
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: gonna go with cool.
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: Oh my gosh.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Have you ever have you ever watched a porn star
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: award show?
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: I have.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Actually, they do not wear more clothing.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Than they do. They were very nice gown.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: I will bring it up right now. What are the
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: we're going to be on the work computer?
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I was going to ask what the categories are at
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: the porn Awards, but I think we can figure out
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: what the categories.
• 25:45
  Speaker 10: Are at the position bottom positions. Okay, all right, specifics
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: on that. But there's a lot, a lot of moving
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: parts in that.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Why does that not count?
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Because it doesn't go. It doesn't go with her argument.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: When we look at this one, her entire asses hanging out. Okay,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: that is a lot, but okay, all right, I'll give
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: you that.
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: Look at this one, they were Burka's over there.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Come on, No, I am just completely destroying her argument.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: Think it's destroyed, but you are bringing up valid point.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, like the whole point of going if you're
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: in that world, like just yeah, is there an only.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Fans awards show?
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: Is?
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: No?
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: But wop, why don't we start one? How about that?
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: I mean I think they probably have the rights to that, but.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, why do we partner with them?
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: How about the top only Fans Performers of the Year,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: And those are those are the real porn stars. So
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: let me tell you something, right, those are the real
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: That's like the that overtook the porn industry?
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Did it?
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: Not?
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, Let's go to the phone.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: What it be called the fannies.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: That's good, Okay, let's call the phones.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Let's say hello to Ryan in southern California, in San Clemente, Hello, Ryan, welcome?
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: What Ben?
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: Hey?
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: Sorry?
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: I had to take a I hate it, a week
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: off since you know my rams.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't get you took a week I didn't get
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: to take a week off. How come you got to
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: take a week off. I got to come in here,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: well barely. I got to look at all these idiots,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: all these Sea Hawk apologists trying to shove it down
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: my throat.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: Here's the deal the Rams, I mean, and I thought
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: it was a calm until tonight. This is on the Rams.
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: Man when they lost at Carolina, that's when they lost
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: the division, the number one seed. Here's the deal they played.
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: They moved the ball in the first half of the season.
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: Second half of the season, they could have moved the
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: ball three and now three and out. So now our
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: alleged offensive coordinator who probably never made it all, well,
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: maybe he did make the in the last couple of
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: weeks on the Rams. Oh that's that's star chasm. You
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: know how I feel. I look, I lovey. I just
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: don't know what the wh was the worst worst calls
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: I've seen him make in his career this year. But no,
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: I'm going to say something on the coaching tree. You
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: brought up something on the coaching tree, and I think
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: the best coaches and this may not always be true,
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: but look at the coach who he coached. How can
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: I say this? But May coached for uh Bruden and
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: then after Gruden it was I don't think just having
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: one mentor or you know, one guru is gonna you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: that the whole.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: The whole mentor thing. I think it's just a reach.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: I you know, I I know how I relate. I
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I interned at the mighty six ninety, which was a
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: big sports station in San Diego, and I was around
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Lee Hamilton, right, who was a very good talk show
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: host in his day. And I learned from Lee, but
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I I did my own thing. I didn't copy what
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: he did, and so like I was part of his
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: radio tree or whatever, but it was my own thing.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: It wasn't him.
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: But I think that's what I think that's what made
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: me a better basketball coach, is I learned from different coaches,
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: not just one coach.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, exactly, you're you're a product of the people.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: You take a little bit from different people. And like
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: I for me, you know, I was younger. Tony Bruno
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: was a big influence on me. Tony was a legend
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: in sport. He started this network and started ESPN's radio
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: outfit and all that. And I love Tony, but it,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: you know, it's a bunch of different people.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: So don't forget about me, you know, sitting and the Clippers,
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: Oh you.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Were there, yes, the mausoleum at the nineties Clippers. Oh
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: my god, that's right, the Prince of the Prince of darkness.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: And uh, let me tell you, I have great memories somebody.
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: And what Norm.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: That's right, Norm Peters, who's now living in Florida, retired,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: the great Norm Peters.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: There we were, we were in all those games.
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: Man. Yeah, so hey to the Steeler fans, you're lucky
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: you didn't get as to what Ben said is raw roddfish.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: Uh sola. But then, man, I'm going to try to
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: start listening a little more. The first sports show I've
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: listened to since the Rams long welcome back.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: You have to you have to go through.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: You have to go through all the steps, all the
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: steps of grieving and rehab.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: What's that rehab?
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: That's right, you go to rehab and then the NFL
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Draft will be here before you know it.
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: So there, Yeah, let's need will screw it up.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: They have to.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: They have two They have two first round picks to
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: screw up unless they unless they trade them.
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: Guy who gave to to uh well a one year
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: extension and then we didn't trade for Rashied whatever his
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: name is from Seattle.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Well too to out well, great player. If he was
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: like fifty. If too too outwell was like sixty pounds heavier.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: He would have been great.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: But unfortunately and then and then Seattle trades for received
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: from the Saint.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's not why Seattle's in the.
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: Super Bowl though, because we couldn't track.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, that was part of the problem.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: And you're discounting the two point conversion that the referees
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: handed over to Seattle when the play was stopped. They
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: just gave him two points in that regular season game.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: You're just discounting that.
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: And if we would have we wouldn't.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I gotta thank you the great Ryan there
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: and zees So let's hello to any meanie money our
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: friend Andrew. We have a cosmic event we need to
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: know about. And Andrea has got co she's our astrology insider.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Not every show has an astrology insider. And we now
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: go to the Bay Area. She's hanging out in Berkeley
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: and she's got all the inside skinny on this cosmic event.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: If you look up to the heavens, you will notice
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: what are you gonna notice there, Andrea?
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: The full snow moon.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: The snow moon.
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: Obviously named snow moon because it's cold and it's snow season.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, it was so cold. I had to turn my
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: air conditioner on. The other day got the ninety where
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I am very cold here, Oh my god. Oh yeah,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: it was in ninety and it was great. My brother
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: lives in uh, both of them back east, but my
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: brother in New York.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: He's a nut job.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: He goes out running around the streets of Manhattan, like
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: at four in the morning, right, because he's a runner,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: complete opposite to me. So he's sending me photos on
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Friday morning from the Hudson and it's chunks of ice
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: in the Hudson River, right, chunks of Yeah, I get it,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: like it wasn't frozen over, but it was covered in ice.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: And so then I send him a photo of my
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: air conditioner. I said, I have this thing on right
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: now because it's you know, busting his balls.
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: But you know, anyway, I know very different energies on
• 32:48
  Speaker 9: the East and West Coast, especially a little bit.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: A little bit it was like and in some places,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: like it's all over the world too, people get so
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: freaked out by this, Like that I saw in Moscow
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: they had the most snow they've had in two hundred
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: years in Moscow, two hundred years.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Most snow crazy and full snow moon.
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: It's in Leo and Aquarius, so your listeners that are
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: planeting Leon and Aquarius feel it most acutely. And I
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: think it's interesting timing kind of starting super Bowl week
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: with the full moon. And I wanted to ask and
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: is there going to be a malor meet and greed
• 33:25
  Speaker 9: for this?
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I was planning of it.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately I have some scheduling things that popped up, so
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be able to do it, but we
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: will be We will have one at some point. It's
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: not gonna happen on Friday because I have to be
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: at the Radio Row thing until late. By the time
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I get out of there, we're not gonna be able
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: to make it with if there's no traffic, Andrew, if
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: you can promise there'll be no traffic, then we will
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: be able to make it. But the bars in Oakland,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: and logistically, I don't think it's going to be able
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: to work out because of the timing when I need
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: to leave and to get there and all that. We
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: will be back at some point. Hopefully Loraina will come.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: She's going to be in there in the Bear, but
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: hopefully she'll be able come back there and Coop will
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: be able to make it up there and we'll try
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: to do it on like a Friday or a Saturday.

  Speaker 7: All right?
• 38:48
  Speaker 9: Ben?
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: You and I didn't even know the Pro Bowl hadn't happen, No,
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: we did not.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I've been to the Pro Bowl before. I didn't know.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: There's plenty of players that have dropped out. Yeah, just
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: you know, personal reasons. But I don't want to play.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: The ratings gone down since back when it was played
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: after the Super Bowl. That's when raidings were actually good.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Should they move it to back after the Super Bowl?
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: No, it doesn't matter yet.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: They could play it two months from now and the
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: players won't care. So no, as long as the NFL
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: kept it around. It's a weird flag football game. But
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter when they play it. The players aren't
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: into it. The fans know the players aren't into it.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Next, all right, So the Brooklyn Nets just recently got
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: blown out by fifty three points by the Pistons, and
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: that's not even a week after they got blown out
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: by fifty four points by the Knicks.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Sure should there be some kind of.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: Penalty for teams that don't even try like the nets,
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: like what's going on?
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Well, there should be, but Adam Silver is encouraging that
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: like that. He doesn't care. The NBA commissioner doesn't care.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: He claims he cares, but he doesn't care. This is
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: a major problem with that sport, that nothing's gonna happen
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: on the nets.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Though.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Next Ron Darling said that the reds Hunter Green could
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: be the best picture in the game if he's injury
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: free next year. Then later that day the Red sign
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: a u Haaneo Suarez. Are they poised to make a
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: deep run?
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: They were what it's a soft division coup, but they're
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: still they're not va great.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: How do we do pass? That's a win? Butt out
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: of the bar, that's a win.
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: I got a win.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: That's a win.
