  Speaker 1: that Dan Snyder voted? vanished from public life and said

  Speaker 1: wishing he would go away. We'll talk about that. Also,

  Speaker 1: So our lead story this hour. We'll get back to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the calls. I know we got some people lined up here,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: so I promise we will. Get you going here as
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: soon as possible. But our lead this hour from the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Twin Cities, where J.J. McCarthy's future is twisting in the wind.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: At least his future with the Vikings. Now, if you
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: have not heard the latest, perhaps not, a little birdie chirping. Chirp, chirp, chirp.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Little birdie chirping, saying that McCarthy is fighting for his
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: roster status in Minnesota.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: What?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: What? Yes! Like, McCarthy, who was a first-round pick a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: few years ago, is in stranger danger of not being
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: on the 53-man roster. Now, Minnesota gave Kyler Murray the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: booster seat, and he's the starting quarterback, fun size. So
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: he's the starting quarterback, Alligator Arms Murray. McCarthy, we just
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: assumed that he was going to be the No. 2 quarterback. Well,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you know what happens when you assume.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Well, apparently he's not doing good at that either. His
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: job is under siege. He is being threatened. And we
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: talked about this in a previous episode. We thought, well,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. Well, here we are. And
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Yes, that Carson. Yes, that Carson Wentz is
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: said to be neck and neck. In fact, at practice
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: recently here in the Twin Cities, they split. JJ McCarthy
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz split the reps during practice. Not a game.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Not a game. We in here talking about practice. Now,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the whispers around the NFL, we love our whispers. Without whispers,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: there's no talk radio. So the whispers around the NFL
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: indicate that Minnesota could, that's a weasel word, could trade J.J.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: McCarthy prior to this weekend coming to an end. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: guess Sunday is the deadline for the 53-man roster. You
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: have to have your roster in by Sunday. And Max Brosmer,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: who sucks, Max Brosmer, Is the quarterback the Vikings would
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: keep if they trade McCarthy. So they'd have Carson Wentz
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: as the backup. And Max Brosner as the quarterback number three.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: discuss the question. Is J.J. McCarthy officially on the auctioning
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: block as we speak? Whether the Vikings admit it or not.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So I've got Taco Bell. shrimp cocktail, and fruit basket.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And we will combine all of these things together for
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a nice all-you-can-eat buffet. Hope there's a lot of toilet paper.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: All right, so number one.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Number one.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: All right. Here's my answer. To the question, is J.J.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: McCarthy officially on the auctioning block? Whether the Vikings admit
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: it or not. My answer is, let's call Domino's. We'll
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: bring them in here. And I'm going to order a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: large pizza with extra yep-a-roni. The answer is yep-a-roni. Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Minnesota is D-O-N-E. With J.J. McCarthy, I don't care what
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: anyone out on Lake Minnetonka says. That's the reality, right?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: You don't split backup reps with Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: If the front office still believes in you. Is that
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the most depressing quarterback room for a team that's actually
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: trying to win? The Minnesota Vikings with Kyler Murray, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: right now it's neck and neck between Carson Wentz and J.J. McCarthy.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: My God, what have you done? The Minnesota Vikings. They
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: might as well just put Hollering James out there and
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: have him play quarterback, or Eek in Roseville, Minnesota. Or Gunner.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I think Gunner's working the day shift now. He's in
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: northern Minnesota anyway. So J.J. McCarthy, he went from the messiah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the franchise savior, quarterback drafted in the first round, had
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that Michigan pedigree and all that, national champion. And at
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: this moment, and I don't think I'm wrong on this,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: at this moment, J.J. McCarthy is like shredded iceberg lettuce
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: from Taco Bell covered in parasites. Very similar mentality. Very,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: very similar. And here's the dead giveaway. The dead giveaway.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Look at this. You look at Kyler Murray. Now you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: got to look down. Can't look up. Got to look down.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: So Kyler Murray, a quarterback with alligator arms. He's the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: size of an Oompa Loompa. A chronic video game addiction.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And an aversion to studying the playbook and watching film.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: So much so, the Cardinals put it in his contract,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you have to watch film. And then he had, of course,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a hissy fit, which anyone would do if they obviously
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: don't want to watch film. And so they had to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: take that out of the contract. And that guy is
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: your quarterback that's starting over McCarthy. And the other guy,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, hasn't been good in, what, nine years? Nine years,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the last time Carson Wentz was good, he got hurt.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I was at the game he got hurt at. It
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: was against the Rams at the old L.A. Coliseum. before
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: it was renovated, Eagles and Rams. And he was damaged.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: This stiff named Nick Foles came in there, and I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: don't remember what happened. Fly, Eagles, fly on the road
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to victory. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. So that's a
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: long time ago. That is a long time ago in
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: another world far, far away. That's where they are right now.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And so what more needs to be said? Well, there's
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: more in the Malibu monologue. So this has J-E-T-S, suck, suck, suck,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: or brownies, reclamation project written all over it. Better yet,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: why not send J.J. McCarthy to La La Land? Jim
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh was a very loud public advocate for J.J.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: McCarthy.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: You might remember back in Michigan, McCarthy was known as
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the coach's pet and just loved the bond there, the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: kinship between Jim Harbaugh and J.J.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: McCarthy.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: So put him in a Charger uniform, Captain Clipboard. for
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the Bolts, and the way Justin Herbert's going, he might
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: just retire to be a groupie on the road with
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: his bride to be there. They might just give up football.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Problem solved. All right, now, page two. To D.C. we go.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: The Beltway. Inside the Beltway. Interesting story here. Former Redskins
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: owner Dan Snyder. This big write-up on Dan Snyder. He's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: gone missing recently. Not literally missing, he's just invisible. I
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this or not. It's been
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: bouncing around the pinball machine, the echo chamber of sports takes.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: So the big write-up on what happened to Dan Snyder.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: He sold the franchise a couple years back for $ 6 billion.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And Snyder, who turns 62 in November, he moved to London.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Here he's roommates with legally blind Christopher Snyder. in London
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and he's there with his wife and he moved actually
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: before he officially sold the Washington, what they changed the name,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: what they called the Dopey Commanders, what a dumb name
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: that is. Holy crap. Anyway, they should be like the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Cobra Commanders. That would be a better name. They have
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to pay the people at G.I. Joe some money and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: all that. So anyway, he's pretty much completely left the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: public life, and there are people complaining about that now,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and this led to a big write-up. Where has he gone?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: One former Dan Snyder associate said, quote, talk about a
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: guy that's gone invisible. Another predicted, quote, he'll never be back.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: He'll never be back, saying Snyder enjoys being left alone
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in jolly old London. So high-ranking NFL official in this
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: long story that I read the other day said virtually
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: nobody in the NFL remains in contact with the former
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: owner of the Washington football team. So the question. It's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: rather obvious, but I'll ask it anyway. Why is anyone
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: surprised that Dan Snyder has vanished from the public life
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: when the NFL people, the media in the NFL, spent
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: years wishing that he would go away? They did! This
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: whole thing is... Wacky tabacky is what this whole thing is, right?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: So these are the exact same dopes who could not
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: wait to tar and feather Dan Snyder and run him
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: out of the NFL with pitchforks and torches. And so,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm not saying he didn't deserve some of it,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: but Dan Snyder was treated like the skunk at the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: garden party. Fine. Social pariah, douche canoe, all of those things.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: He was ousted. Endless investigations. Paid a lot of money
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to settle legal situations. And now the media, the very
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: media that was chasing him away, they're standing around and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: they're scratching their head a little bit. And they're asking,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: whatever happened to Dan Snyder? Well, I don't know. What
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: could have happened to Dan Snyder? What was he supposed
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to do after selling the Commander's? Was he supposed to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: open a souvenir shop outside the stadium there and sell
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: some merch or hang out with the other NFL aristocrats
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: there having a shrimp cocktail at the owners' meetings? Seriously,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: what did you expect him to do? You wanted him
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to sell the team. You said he was a horrible person.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: He sold the team, and now you're complaining that he's
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: no longer around anymore. Make it make sense. Seriously. Why
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: on earth does Dan Snyder owe the league his presence?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: This was the punching bag. This was the pinata for
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: several years. And I would argue, whether you agree with
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: what Dan Snyder has done over the years or not,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter. He has played this perfectly. You
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: think about where he's at in his life right now.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: He's 62 years old, and he sold the team, pocketed
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars. He still had to pay the capital
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: gains and all that, but he made billions on the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: sale of what used to be called the Washington Redskins.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: He moves overseas, and he tells every man, woman, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: child who had a problem with him to go pound sand.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Just go away. Get out of here. And he's living
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: like the royal family in London. Legitimately, I read that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he's living in a home, a residence in London that
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: he paid $ 67 million for.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: $ 67 million mansion.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I guess they call it chateau. Is that France? I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: guess France they call it chateau. What do they call
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: big houses in London? Just have big houses, mansions? I
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: don't know. I have no idea. Anyway, manor. Oh, yeah,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: there you go.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: The manor.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: It's stupid. And when he's not at his 67 million
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: dollar home in London, the family is on their 305
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: foot yacht sailing around the waters around the different European countries.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Lady S is the name of the yacht. So if
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: you see that in the south of France or somewhere.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: That's Dan Snyder. And so you've got the media demanding
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that Dan Snyder disappear.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Get out of here, Dan!
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: You're not the man, Dan! Get out of here! So
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: he did, and now they miss him because he's their
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: favorite NFL villain and it's not as much fun without
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Dan Snyder around. All right, meanwhile, to Chicago we go.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Time for the obligatory mention. of the great political battlefield
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: that is the WNBA. Not about sports. Not about sports.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: So a WNBA team called the Sky, they're called the Sky,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: they have banned, outlawed former NBA center Ennis Cantor Freedom
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: from all future home games after he was ejected. From
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: a recent game, we talked about this in a previous
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: episode of the show, a cowardly owner of a WNBA
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: team in Chicago said, freedom will remain barred. How can
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you bar freedom? How great is that? That's funny. I
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: know why he changed his name, right? The whole story
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: we play in the NBA. But the headline is hilarious.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Chicago WNBA owner says, freedom will remain banned. So good.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: They banned freedom in the WNBA. They said unless he
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: can demonstrate that he will follow team rules without being
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: a potential threat. Potential threat. OK. Well, standing up. for
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: making some noise on the sidelines. He's not part of
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the team, so why does he have to follow the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: team rules? Freedom is a former NBA player. He's a
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: very tall man, 6'10. He was sitting courtside, if you
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: didn't hear about it the other day, and he wore
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: a very offensive shirt defining the dictionary definition of a woman.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: As an adult human female, this upset a lot of
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: people that don't know that definition or are offended by
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that definition. All right, so the question, was the WNBA,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: this team in Chicago, banning Ennis Cantor freedom justified, or
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: is this a massive overreaction? The WNBA, after a minutes-long
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: deliberation of the available information, the WNBA fell for another
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: unforced error. Hook, line, and sinker. That is a capital
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: O overreaction. The big O. By banning Ennis Cantor freedom.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: By banning freedom for wearing a shirt, again, with the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: very offensive dictionary definition of a woman, the Chicago Sky,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: which is apparently a WNBA team, have activated the fruit basket. Congratulations. A.K.A.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the forbidden fruit effect. I think most of us know
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: what the forbidden fruit effect is. It's the sports equivalent
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: of telling some teenagers, whatever you do, do not open
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: that door. Don't do it. What do you think those
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: teenagers are going to do? Ding, ding, ding, ding. Exactly.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: They'll wait till you go away and they're going to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: open that door and they're going to see what's behind
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that door and they're going to find out. Because it's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the forbidden fruit. They can't go there. So they're going
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: to do it. Anyway, so the problem is this. It's
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: rather obvious. I don't know why I'm even saying it.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: But instead of using tunnel vision, they should just hire me.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: The WNBA should hire me. The way to handle this
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: is tunnel vision. And just ignore Ennis Cantor freedom. If
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: you have a problem, just ignore it. Instead, someone named
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Natasha Cloud, I'm told that's a WNBA player, I have
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: no idea who that person is. She showed zero self-control.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: She went on a rampage, confronted Ennis Cantor. She confronted freedom.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Confronted freedom. Now, as for the WNBA calling this guy
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a potential threat, comedy. It's comedy. Is it not? The
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Sky owner admitted that his players are too fragile to
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to put on blinders. They're incapable of ignoring the outside noise.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Just focus on the basketball. Can't do it. Not going
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to do it. Cannot do it. So in trying to
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: silence the sideshow, and obviously it was a publicity stunt,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: no one would deny that from Ennis Cantor Freedom. The league,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the WNBA, just turned it into the main event. giving
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: him exactly what he wanted, and way to go, ladies,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: or Natasha Cloud. Amazing. Excellent work. You just provided jet
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: fuel for what he was looking to do, so. that's
• 19:26

  Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone's kind of like, I don't know that anyone
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: hated Dolly Parton.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: No one.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: It's very hard to live in this world and not

  Speaker 1: There's not many people like that, right? There's really not.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: How many people are universally loved?
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: I saw a post today about... the Mount Rushmore of
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: universally loved people.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: It was Dolly Parton, Fred Rogers. Oh, Mr. Rogers, yeah.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: He was a good guy. Steve Irwin. Sure. Oh, yeah.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And I'm trying to remember who the last one was.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Although if Steve Irwin had lived longer, people would have
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: hated him. But yeah, no, I know.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: I found a reason. I can't remember who the fourth
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: one was. Rest in peace, Dolly Parton. She'll be part
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: of our instant trivia later this hour. I really dug
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: deep to find a Dolly Parton instant trivia question.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Anyway, it's the Ben Maller Show. We'll be in Vegas

  Speaker 1: So if you're in Vegas, come on out. If you're
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: going to be in Vegas this weekend, we'd love to

• 22:44
  Speaker 1: which will be somewhat exciting. What else do we have?
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Alf the Alien O'Piner says, McCarthy or Mendoza,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: who would you rather have as the Rams backup? Oh,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: we got Ty Simpson. What are you talking about, Alf?
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: We don't need either one of those guys. I'm good.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Ty Simpson, future star. Unless he's not. Double-O Mexican in
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: San Diego working overnight with us. Says 9.5 out of
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: 10 on the opening Mahler monologue this hour. The WNBA
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: once again proves it's not a real league. They can't
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: even handle some old-fashioned clean heckling. It is wild, isn't it? Like,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I realize I'm not that smart. I didn't do well
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: in school. I'm doing overnight radio. I'm pretty much, this
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: is where I am. I'm the Peter Principal. My highest
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: level of incompetence is overnight talk radio. And even I know...
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: The way to handle that situation would be to ignore
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the person because they want attention. And what is Natasha
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Cloud or whatever her name is? She's like the Kool-Aid
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: man and she runs through the wall. It's like the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: dumbest thing in the world. Oh, yeah. Eek in Roseville,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Minnesota says, I'm worried about how Robbie the Mariner fan
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: is going to cope with Vegas. 103 degree temperatures. It's
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: not too late to move the meet and greet to Reno,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: where Saturday's high will be 82 degrees. Do it for Robbie. Yeah,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I think I'm okay. Analogologist said 6'7. Also, Bozo, the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: district attorney, says, who's the bigger bust, J.J. McCarthy or
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Trey Lance? Well, that's not even close. Trey Lance. When
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you look at the amount of draft capital, and all
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: you people love your draft picks, that the Dolphins... ended
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: up getting for the Trey Lance pick. It's not even
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: up for debate. Let's go to the phones. Trucker Shane
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: is driving around the backwoods of Alabama. Hello, Trucker Shane. Welcome. Hey, boss.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I was driving around. I'm on a side road.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: We'd like to alert all the affiliates. Trucker Shane has
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: now pulled over to the side of the road. Are
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: you ready to take a nice snooze for the night?
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: No, I'm waiting for my truck to get fixed.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, that sucks. What's wrong with it?
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Somebody cut my airlines.
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: Somebody? Really?
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Somebody cut my airlines, yeah.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Like sabotage?
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they cut them in half.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Now, why would somebody, why would someone do that?
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I went into the truck stop to
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: get some ice, and I came out, and their lines
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: were cut. So I don't know what the heck happened there.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a horror story. Are there cameras?
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: There's cameras, and the police were here, but I've got
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: a maintenance guy trying to fix it right now, but.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: I was going to go here and hang out and
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: listen to you for a while and then go to sleep,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: but then this happened.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: But here I am.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: It happens. People are vicious. What can you do, you know?
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Those truck stops, man. You got lot lizards. You got
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: guys cutting lines. You got all kinds of crap, man.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: That's a different world, those truck stops.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: It's a wild west in these places sometimes. The wild
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: west just ain't so bad like it used to be,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: but everyone's ready to throw a punch for no reason.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: It's kind of just mind your own business, you know?
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I got you.
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: The thing about that owner got me thinking about something
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: that I did when I was 18.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: All right. We're about to hear a good prostitution story.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: No.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. I thought that's where you were going. I
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: thought that's where you were going.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: No, this is probably worse. I was in college, and
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: I was given $ 20, 000 for tuition, and instead I went
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: to a strip club and pissed it all away. I
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: went to a strip club.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: All of it in one night? Yes.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: In about three and a half weeks, I was a
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: high roller. I had my friends in there, and I
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, I work part-time, so I'll put it back. Well,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I never put it back, and I couldn't finish college.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: It's probably why I'm driving a truck right now.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. Those women must have been beautiful, or at
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: least you thought they were beautiful.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: My dad asked me what was one of their names,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: and I said, her name is Mercedes, and he said,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: she's probably driving one now.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: It's not necessarily great for you, Trucker Shane, as you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: sit at a truck stop somewhere in the backwoods of
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Alabama because your truck has been sabotaged by some other loser. However,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: think of those women. They probably talk about you. How
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: long ago was that, Trucker Shane?
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, gosh, that was 1999.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: So these women are in their 50s, and they probably
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: tell stories to their kids. There was this gentleman named
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Shane that came in, and he was my champion, my
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: guardian angel. And the reason we have this house is
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: because of Shane. Oh, yeah.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: I contributed to our house.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, man, that's funny.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, buddy.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: That's funny. Well, are you better off doing that or
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: going to the casino and just betting everything on red
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: or black on the roulette wheel, right?
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not really good.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: I tried to gamble in Vegas, and I lost my tail,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: so I'm not.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if you know this. The reason
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: those hotels are so big is because people don't win.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: It's shocking. It's wild.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I see that.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't belong in there.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: No. That's fun, though. It's the only business where you
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: go in knowing you're going to lose money, and you
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: have a smile on your face when you go in,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and you have a smile on your face when you
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: walk out.
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: You have to go in to play, not to go
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: in for financial security.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just have to have a budget. Generally, spending
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: your college tuition on anything is not a good idea.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: No, it wasn't good. My dad's No wonder he didn't
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: like me. I get it.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: It's a good story, though. It's a good story, right?
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Think about your dad, how hard he had to work
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: to get that money saved up for you, and you
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: just blew it on strippers.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You know the value of money, right?
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: You're out there busting your ass on the road, Shane,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: and getting money, and then this, you know how it
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: is to earn a buck, and honestly.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: I know what it is now. Yeah, working like I do.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: I wish I didn't spend the money on strippers. I
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be doing this.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I understand. I understand. All right, well, listen, good luck
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: with your truck, my man. Call us more often, and
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: we love you. All right, be good. Be safe.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: All right, y'all.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Good night, guys.
• 28:56

• 29:13
  Speaker 1: a rumor that Whoopi Pie Blair will be at the
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Mallard meet and greet in Vegas on Saturday. Is that correct?
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Whoopi Pie Blair, are you flying out for that?

  Speaker 1: and then you know from albuquerque you're probably on.
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: Your own but Yeah, I'm not doing that. I'll just
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: skip it again.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Yet again.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Eventually, eventually you'll see me.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: You're too big. You've become a big star. You're a
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: TikTok star. You've forgotten about us.
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: I'm on it right now. I'm watching boxes right now
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: with beautiful women that aren't showing their face right now,
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: but I've been on TikTok.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: How do you know they're beautiful women if they're not?
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: How do you know if they're not showing their faces
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: if they're beautiful women? How do you know that?
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: Their faces, but just through TikTok. I haven't seen them
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: and met them in real life, but I've been on
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: TikTok with them off and on.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: All right, well, who cares about that? Blair, listen, you're
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: our NFL insider. What advice do you have to Jed York,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: the 49er owner, who was arrested in a prostitution sting
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: at a trailer park in Ohio.
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God. What was the story again? Say it again.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I missed that. The 49er owner, he lives in Ohio,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and he wanted some bow-chicka-wow-wow, and so he looked up
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: an online ad, and he found something that he liked,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: and then he wanted to go over there and do
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the dipsy-do, and he got popped by the cops for
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: doing that.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: About time they bust somebody that's Actually, with the NFL,
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: you know, again, you know, they're getting busted every time these,
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: you know, they make they're making this money and all
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: the moolah. They're NFL players, the coaches, everybody. They're making
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: big money and then they're doing something stupid and then
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: they're getting busted, you know. By the police, you know,
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: the sheriff.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: That's not the answer I was looking for, Blair. That's
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: not the answer. Have you ever answered an ad online?
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Smarter.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Have you ever done that?
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: They've got to be smarter. They've got to be smarter.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Are you smarter? Have you done that?
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: I've been dumb before. I've been dumb. You know, we're
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: not all smart. I've never been busted and put in
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: jail yet. But I've been, you know, we all make
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: stupid decisions, you know. We're not all smart in life.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: That's true. Everyone makes mistakes. That's 100% correct.
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: But I wish these guys that make $ 1, 000 million more
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: than you and I make, maybe, would be smarter than
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: actually our coaches or the NFL players.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Stop it. Now, Blair, who cares about that? When you
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: call up, people want to hear about you. You're a
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: fascinating person, Blair. People love you. Last we spoke, you
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: had an electric bike. You were running around on your
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: electric bike and it was way too fast. Have you
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: given up the electric bike lifestyle or are you still
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: back on that?
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: I got a flat on the way to Skowhegan, Maine,
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: to the state fair. Got a flat on the way,
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: and now I got a flat. So I'm, like, putting
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: it off until, like, October to get a new tire,
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: which is going to either cost me $ 70 or cheaper
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: if I get it off Amazon or anywhere else where
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: I get the tube. But I learned you can get
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: something else that's cheaper from Walmart, and it's, like... I
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: don't know. I forget the name, but it's this thing
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: where you just put the stuff inside where you pump
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: the tires.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Fix a flat, like a fix-a-flat type thing.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, fix-a-flat, yes, yes, yes.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: It doesn't always work. Sometimes it does, but it doesn't
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: always work. All right, well, Blair, we're getting serious Blair.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: We're not getting goofy Blair. We're not getting wacky Blair.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: We're getting serious Blair, which is not as much fun.
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: Stop drinking. I've been sober for a while now.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, Mazel Tov. Congratulations. Good for you. I'm happy for you.
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: Better way to be. Better way to be sober.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: That's right. Drinking is not good for Blair. Not good
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: for our show, but it's good for you.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: I was in the hospital like maybe less than a
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: week ago because I missed my meds twice. I missed
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: him again tonight. I should have took him, but that's
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: why I would not.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: You've got to be a grown-up, man. You've got to
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: set a timer, set a reminder on your phone. Stop
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: looking at the chicks on TikTok and take your meds.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Come on now.
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: There I go. Oh, you can't say that.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you. All right. There he goes.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: For not being intoxicated, he sure sounds like it.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: That's the beauty of Blair. Let's say hello to our man, Mark.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: We haven't heard from Mark in a while. He's in
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: North Dakota. He's got a lot to say. Hello, Marky Mark.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: What's going on, Mark? So much to say that he's...
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you. Go away. All right. Did I not...
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe I didn't punch up the right line. All right.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Man alive. All right. Nada wrote in from from L.A.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Here she says, my ex-husband decided to buy flowers and
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: gifts to his side piece with our shared credit card. Well,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: that's that's an odd decision to make. Speaking of that,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the next hour we have the Queen of Hearts with Lorena.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: That'd be a good we can talk about that more
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: in the Queen of Hearts with Lorena. Love advice. Hashtag
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Queen of Hearts. That'll be coming up next hour. We'll
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: push back the NFL crime files. We'll push that back. Also,
• 35:04

• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Way back in 1987, Dolly Barton visited Yankee Stadium. She

  Speaker 1: was filming her ABC variety series called Dolly. They used
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: to have these variety shows. Very popular in the 80s.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: In the 70s. And so she took swings along the
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: first baseline at iconic Yankee Stadium, the house of the
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Bambino he built, and was presented with a Yankee bomber
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: jacket from blank. Again, Dolly Parton, way back in 1987,

  Speaker 1: visited Yankee Stadium. She was filming a TV show. She
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: took swings with a bunch of Yankee players down the
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: first baseline, and she was presented a ceremonial Yankee bomber
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: jacket from blank. That's the instant trivia, the answer. We'll
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: get to it. We'll do it next.

• 36:48
  Speaker 1: in 1987, Dolly Parton visited Yankee Stadium. She was filming
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: a TV show called Dolly. What a name. And the
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: legend took swings along the first baseline, was presented with
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: a ceremonial Yankee bomber jacket. Very popular in the 1980s.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: From blank, Alf the alien old pioneer went with Dan Snyder.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: That's a good photo of Dan Snyder. Hanging out with
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Legally Blind Christopher there in London. King Rory going with Dandy,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the Yankees mascot from the 1970s. What else do we have?
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Lou Piniella, guest by Overnight Joe, keeping the TV station
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: on the air. Viva Las Vickies says, was it Morgana
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: da Kissing Bandit? No, no. Although some people do confuse
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Morgana and Dolly Parton. Dude E. Bomber from Stevie Meatballs.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Daryl Strawberry, guest by Doug in South Korea. Monkey Biz Doug.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Who else do we have? Paige Dan. Jolene's less famous sister, Whitney,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: guest by... Not Blind Austin in Bakersfield. Who else? Don
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Juan says it was Mickey Mantle. Catfish Hunter from DJ Spin.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Yogi Berra from Eek in Roseville, Minnesota. JT the Wingman
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: said members only. Is the answer. Do you have an answer?
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Do you have an answer?
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: I'm going to go with Billy Ray Cyrus.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: All right. That is incorrect. Supermarket Steve got it right.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Bad job by him. It's Mike Pagliarulo, third baseman of
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the late 80s Yankees. He was a one-hit wonder, Mike Pagliarulo.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Had one good year, and then that was bad. All right.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Here we go.
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: Here we go.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: To the third degree. This is when Big Ben gets grilled.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Koopa Loops.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: The Commanders were supposed to have Monday off, but after
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: watching film from Saturday's preseason game, Dan Quinn scheduled another practice.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: Quinn said he didn't like what he saw from an
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: identity standpoint.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, sure.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Ben, the Commanders are supposed to be much better this year.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: How much better do you think they'll be? I don't
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: expect them to be much better. They look like a
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: middling team. They did add Stephon Diggs to the offense.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: Laramie Tunzels hurt, so he's out. That was their big
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: offensive line pickup. They made a couple other moves. I
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: just think they're going to be in the middle. They're
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: going to be a playoff contender.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: They'll be like a 7-9 win type team. That's just
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: kind of where I look at that team.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Next!
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: Jason Tatum's dad appeared on a podcast over the weekend
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: where he took a shot at the Celtics. When asked
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: who he thinks will win the title, he said the
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Knicks because Boston's roster is.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Let's just say crap. Yeah, yeah, sure. Ben, do you
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: think the Celtics are going to have a Jason Tatum problem? Well,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: they have a problem with Jason Tatum's dad, and you've
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: got to think Tatum feels that way too, right? Because
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: it's one thing to trade Jalen Brown because they didn't
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: like each other per se. They didn't get anything really
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: of value in return. They didn't get enough. in return.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: They just kind of gave Jalen Brown away. So it's
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: something to monitor. And he does love the Lakers, Coop.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: Next! A report this week says that if the Warriors
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: get desperate enough to improve the roster that they could
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: offer a pass.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Package to the Wizards for Anthony Davis. Do you think
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: they'll get that desperate?
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: No.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: What they should do is go on Teemu and buy
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: a life-size Anthony Davis doll and just put it on
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the bench in street clothes. And that's it. Because that's
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: all you're going to get. Davis sticks. How do we do?
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: You pass this. That's a win. Put it on the board. Winner, winner, winner.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Chicken dinner.
