• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving night there on the West Coast, but we head
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in to.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: A black Friday.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: And back in the old days, way back in the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: hot tub time Machine, it was always a fun show
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to do because there were a lot of people online
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: waiting to buy that one hundred and thirty five inch
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: television and they.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Were waiting online. In over the years, it's changed a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I think we've circled back now where people are waiting
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: out and shopping late at night, staying online until store's open.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So we welcome those of you that don't normally listen
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to the overnight show because you have the dreaded day
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: shift and you're up because you really want to get
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that toaster oven, because that's the dream come true.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You're living the dream when you can.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Buy the toaster oven, but you buy the toaster of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: it because it's seventy five percent off and you want
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that seventy five percent off. The toaster of and of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: course they marked it up by ninety percent, so you're
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: really paying fifty percent more. But that's a different conversation.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I'll save that form my podcast. So our lead this
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: hour is from Maryland, where Sports with Coleman was crying
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in his crablegs. So the final leg of the Thanksgiving
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: triple header from morning to night at least on the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: West coast. He goes afternoon tonight on the East coast.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow, I was back, baby, he
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: was gone for months and oh my aching toe, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: he returned, had the Bengal marching and shout to society
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: there in Baltimore for a matchup against the Old Bay
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Seasoning and Lamar Jackson. It was on NBAZ Mike Tarrico
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and the clapper clap on, clap off. Jason Garrett. Yeah
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: there was Jason. I guess Collinsworth is too old. He
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: can't work on holidays.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: So he won.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: There.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Why don't you watch it now? Maybe not? Maybe you
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: missed it. We were watching. We had nothing else to do.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: There's nothing.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I thank god there were no NBA games due not
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that I would have watched them anyway, But Joe Burrow
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: didn't do much early in the game, but he did
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: throw not one but two second half touchdown passes in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: his return for the Cincinnati football team, and the Bengals
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: snap Baltimore's five game winning streak. That's why they played
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the games already two to fourteen. What even close was
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: not even close. The fumble prone Ravens they have a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: coughing problem. They're like coughing up the ball. Baltimore six
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and six. They lost not one, not two, but three
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: fumbles in the first half. They turned the ball over
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, not three, not four five times. Now,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't play in the NFL. I think that sucks.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I know it would just be a guess, big will
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you beat such a hater? Oh my god, yeah.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I think that sucks. Five turnovers, It's shocking. The game
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: wasn't already over at halftime. It wasn't and so Baltimore
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: six and six. They missed an opportunity here. And although
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the Bengals are four and eight, they didn't take advantage
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of those miscues. Joe Burrow and its receivers they started
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to click in the second half, but it was anyone's
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: game at halftimes. So the Ravens, who dug themselves out
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of a gigantic hole they were covered off to that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: one in five start to pull even with the Insers
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: in the AFC North, but now they take a dramatic
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: step backwards and the Steelers have the Bills in the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Sunday card on the NFL. So Pittsburgh loses that game,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: although Buffalo has been a terrible road team, and then
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: that loss by the Ravens won't be that bad. But
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the thing everyone's talking about, everyone yapping about this is
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, who was a bum, not like a homeless bump.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: He was like a stumblebum in this game. The better
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: story is in the losing locker room, and so that
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: is where we will gain. This mal of monologue could
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: jumping off points. So let's discuss the question, how do
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you explain how do you begin to explain Lamar Jackson's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: garbage performance for the Ravens. So my thoughts on this,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I've got endorsement, deal, Holy scripture, and cold fusion, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we're
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: going to create a sour stomach, which is what every man,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: woman and child that cares for the Ravens felt they
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: felt a sour's stomach as Lamar destroyed their opportunities to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: win this game. Ravens also had one of my favorite
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: plays in football, the fumble at the goal line as
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the guy was crossing the goal line just before fumble.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I love that play. I saw that for the first
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: time in person. A wide receiver for the Colts who
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: has since been traded to the Jets. I was at
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a Colts Rams game and numb Nuts did the same thing.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Then they traded his ass to the Jets. But as
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: far as the question, how do you explain Lamar Jackson's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: garbage performance for the Ravens, there is literally nothing redeeming
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: about it. Now, if you watched Benny versus The Penny,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: first of all, you're welcome. We went three to zero
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: against the spread, so if you did it, you know
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: what you want.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: But we did very well there. We're happy.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It's been a rocky season, but we had a good Thanksgiving,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: which is nice. We did take the Bengals plus the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: points in that game. The sharp money was on the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Bengals in that matchup. You know that if you watched
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny. But there's literally nothing redeeming about
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I thought the Ravens would play better. I thought this, well,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the Bengals were going to back door cover. I didn't
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: think they did not even need that. They were leading
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the game the majority of the game. So Lamar Jackson,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: he didn't just play bad. Okay, he was in the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: cockpit as the pilot of the vomit comet.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: He was right there, and he was so horrific.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: The flight attendant actually went up to the cockpit and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: handed him those souvenir plastic wings for in flight turbulence.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: So congratulations.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Two fumbles, one interception, and a partridge in a pear
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: tree facing Mind you, here's why this is so bad.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: The NFL's worst defense, not the second worst defense, the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: worst defense in the NFL proof of product, worst defense
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. And that wasn't a football game. That
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: was a bio hazard situation for the Ravens offense. There
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: were three of ten on third down. The Bengals ran
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: eighty plays. Baltimore only ran fifty seven. Translation, Joe Burrow
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: got to run a marathon eighty plays. Lamar Jackson got
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to sit in the corner in the fetal position, sucking
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: his thumb on time out. Now you want my opinion
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson's performance.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: What do you think? My opinion?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: The guy went out there, turned the ball over, butche
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to come on. He played like he was constipated and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: he was searching around for pepto on the sideline. He
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: couldn't find any. Now, fortunately, not all is lost. There's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a silver lining. I'll be Benny Brightside as.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: We make our way around the world.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Here, I'll be Benny bright Side. So Lamar Jackson, Okay,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: here's the Benny bright Side. Lamar Jackson did pick up
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: an endorsement deal.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: It's not a fortune five hundred company. It's a start up.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: It's an infomercial company. He will now be the pitch
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: man for the barf O Mattic. Congratulations to Lamar got
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: an endorsement deal for the Barfa Mattic, a full sponsorship
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: for quarterback naj He's got that and wings. He got
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: those little wings. Wings of regret is what he got.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: That was a playoff stinker by Lamar. That's what you
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: see in the playoffs. That was playoff Lamar is what
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: that was. If you want to see that again, wait
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: till the raves and they make the playoffs.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: You'll see that again.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: The Ravens showed up with a paper bag and a prayer,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and the Bengals used the paper bag to take the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: leftover turkey home more than that in a minute, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I guess they didn't even need the prayer. And if
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: this doesn't work out for the Ravens and they don't
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs, they have plenty of time to take
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: part in. America's got turnovers, not talent, but America's got turnovers.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Now on the other side, the sincinaties. Can we call
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: a w ambulance to all those people? Shut it down, Joe,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: shut it down. Don't play you could get hurt up
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: like God anyway, question, how did you grade? How did
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you grade? Joe Burrows return to the game action for
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the Bengals. So my thought here it wasn't perfect. It
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: obviously was, and it was like watching a guy kind
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of shake off cobwebs in real time. As Burrow had
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: some shaky plays in the first half. He was creaky
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: early on, the timing was not perfect. There were some
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: misfires there for Joe Burrow. However, the Bengals offense, I'll
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: tell you this, if you were watching or listening to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: this game at all. The Bengals offense between the twenties
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: is the greatest show on turf. They're really good. Between
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the twenties. It's like the Circus Circus midway. There's lights blanking, bells.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Ring and all that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, really really good promise that it wants to
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: get down there. It's problematic overall. The word I had
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: is therapeutic, that this was a therapeutic situation, a football
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: days ball for the soul of these seventeen Bengal fans
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that are out there. Joe Burrow did not look scared
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: in the face of adversity. He was like cardiac Stanley
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: out there. Didn't look timid, looked like a gamer and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: kind of guy who just want to play football in
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the parking lot with a nerf ball. And he jumped
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: for the football and scrape his knees up and all that.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And his quote before the game some that up. He
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: repeated something he said.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Earlier this week.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow when he was asked why would you come
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: back and play?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: You might get a boo boo.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Well, Joe Burrow said, we're getting paid a lot of
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: money to play. A kid's game. I love playing. I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: just want to put a show on for the fans.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Close quote, of course, that triggered the algorithms. Oh my god,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, he needs a coach to protect him.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Sorry, not sorry, that was mallor solid gold. This is
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: what that was.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Salad gold there the holy Scripture of the Church of Gridiron.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Football guy. That's a football guy. It's like John Madden
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: got featured again. Now, how many years anything you're gonna
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: do that? John's wig gone for a few years. Now,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: how many years they knew that?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: The John Madden Thanksgiving tribute? What was nice?
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Grew up with Madden on television. But that was the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: spirit football guy spirit there for Joe Burrow.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: You know what. You don't hear that from Kyler Murray.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: You don't hear Kyler Murray saying, listen, we're getting paid
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a ton of money to play kids game.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I love playing.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I just want to put on a show for the fans. No,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murris says, listen, we're getting pay a ton of money.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I don't really like football, but I'm really good at
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: video games. I'm on Twitch. You can follow me on Twitch,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: watch my live stream. I'll put a show for you
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: watch me play video games. That's what you get from
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Meanwhile, I would like to address those of
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you in the back of the room that are keeping
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: your head down because you're embarrassed the abundance of caution.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Crowd.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: They wanted Joe Burrow to be bubble wrapped and put
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: into some kind of a chamber on ice until next year,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: put him in a storage unit until twenty twenty six.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: And to that we say, police, that logic is Kirkland
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: brand Maloney.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Is what that is. It's Kirkland brand Maloney.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Playoffs. Now that's a pipe triot. I know they're trying
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to sell it in Tarrico. Oh he's a houseman for
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the NFL, so he was trying to sell it. You
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: sell it motormouth optimism, all that they're not making the playoffs.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: But watching Joe Burrow play is actually worth the price
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: of admission, or most of you won't go to these games.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I don't go to many games. It's worth your time
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to watch on television. And that's the whole point to me.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Burrow plays because he can't not because the standings.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Say, oh, you've got a chance to make the playoff. No,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: you dingle Berry.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: That's not the point, that's not what any of this
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: is about. All right, last word here. So after the game,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the entire Bengals team gathered for a wacky on field
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: interview surrounded by a table with turkey and all the trimmings.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: They had Melissa Stark there NBC. So the interview had
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the usual postgame Thanksgiving spread, and you had a group
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati players. They were doing cosplay like they were Oklahoma.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: So you know, all the high school kids on Oklahoma
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: City stand around the player of the game and it's
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: kind of embarrassing. But so Cincinnati did that and well deserved.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: They got the little nibble of the food there that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: was left for them postgame.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: And at one point.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow picked up a Maryland crab, a Maryland crab
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of course game in Baltimore, and was completely gobsmacked. He
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: was baffled, bamboozled by this, like what is this? It's
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: really hilarious for our blind listeners. He picked it up,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: he held it up, he sniffed it, because that's.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: What anyone would do.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: No, it doesn't smell like turkey. They are Turkey's now
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: wrapped in armor. What is that about? And then he asked.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Melissa Stark, what is this? What the f is this?
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: And Melissa Stark, I guess it is from that area,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and she quickly identified the local delicacy, and Joe.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Burrow was pretty good.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: There, pretty good Joe Burrow there, he said, I'm good. Essentially,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: he said it's hard's he then the sideline woman there,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: what's let's start. She had to tell him it's hard.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Show you don't bite into it, you pull the legs
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: off of it. And then he put the thing down.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: He's like, I'm good. I don't need any of that.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: So let's play the what's the word game? You want
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to play? What's the word game?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Okay? I see Alf's over there shaking his head.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Yes and and nodding his head nodding his head yes.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And then Ferg Dogs gives the thumbs up on that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you for so the what's the word game?
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's postgame interaction with the Marylynd Crab on Thanksgiving
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: night was blank.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: My word is bewildered is my word? That's the word.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I'll get bewildered.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: And here's why Joe Burrow looked like he was being
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: asked to solve cold usion in real time, and it's like, no, no,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to Joe, It's just a Thanksgiving postgame interview and you
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: just got spice with some old Bay congratulations. And the Bengals,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: though it did look like they were online at Golden Corral,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the Bengal players there and they were ready to enjoy
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the buffet. And then there was Joey b face to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: face with this mysterious crustacean and he held it again
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: like a prop from some kind of science experiment, and
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: he did the sniff test. We've all been there, what
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: is this? And delivered the line of the night, what
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: is this? And had to be coached like he was
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: in kindergarten at snack time. It's like no, Joe, no, no, no, Joe,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: don't eat the crayon.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: No, no, you don't do that. And then Burrow I
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: loved it.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I laughed when he put the crab down, like he
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: put it down, like it was Lamar Jackson fumbling the duke.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: He put it down.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't really most game coverage. It was like
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow on some food channel show like Chopped or
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: something like that. It was a seafood snaffo.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: How do you do.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: However, Joe Brow, Now he may have fumbled the crab postgame,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: but he won the camaraderie contest with the Benel teammates
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: and all that. So Thanksgiving is the NFL's holiday. Everyone
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: watching these NFL games, and it's a turkey holiday. Also,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: can we let everyone know, Oh, you shouldn't say that. Yeah,
• 17:34

• 17:39
  Speaker 1: you don't have to eat turkey if you don't like turkey.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: But the crab seems a little much. So that's it.

• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Michael Leprechaun set that one in. Why does weed Man

  Speaker 2: Weeed man, Doc, it's maller. How about that? To the
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: third degree? This is one big Ben gets quilled. All right,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Bree is in the hot season, all righty Ben So.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Colts quarterback Daniel Jones reportedly has a fracture in his
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: lower leg, but he's willing to play through it. Ben,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Do you think this made backfire on the Colts as
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: we approached the postseason?
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: No?
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I think this is an excuse.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Number One, Daniel Jones has started to play like the
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones who played for the Giants.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: The last three games.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I believe he's got the same number of interceptions as
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and a bunch of fumbles and so he's medically
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: cleared to play. This sounds like a tremendous excuse for
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: his incompetence currently at the quarterback position.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Next, Ben the Buck guys have decided to fly to
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: ann Arbor for their annual rivalry game against Michigan. In
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: the past, they've usually taken a bus when they play that,
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: but Ryan Day has noted that they are going to
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: fly just like the do other other road games, so
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: he wants to keep the routine the routine. Then, do
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: you think this is a good idea by I.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Think this is the dumbest thing. The whole reason it's
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: a rivalry. You just bust There's what's the point.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: It'd be like if you live in La flying to
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: San Diego or Palm Springs.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: How dumb is that? It's just it's a short drive away.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Like what are you bothering to?
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I don't understand, Like, I know you the Buck guys
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: have this issue with they keep losing the Michigan But
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: my god, that's embarrassing.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Next I will totally fly to Palm Springs. Okay, Dodger
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Stadium will be transformed into a golf course for a
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: few days in early December, Bend. Do you think this
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: is a good idea?
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the Dodgers is really hurting for money over there,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: so anything they can do to make money.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, the poor Dodger and ownership. They clearly don't
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: have any money over there now.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: The question is if you if you pay to get
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: in there and golf at Dodger Stadium, do you have
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: to pay that off over fifty years like the Otani contractor?
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Do they want that right up front? I don't know
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: how did we do breed plus? Do you pass enjoy
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: flying the palm springs? My god,
