2:44
Speaker 1: crown is yours in our lead this hour from the
2:47
Speaker 1: ongoing Days of Our Lives drama in the Delaware Valley.
2:52
Speaker 1: We go to phil Delphia where the Eagles trying to
2:56
Speaker 1: get off the schneide. They a twenty one point lead
2:58
Speaker 1: on the road at Dallas. Bad job, bad job by them.
3:03
Speaker 1: Now this cloud was an ominous cloud with wide receiver A. J.
3:10
Speaker 1: Brown throwing jabs at the quarterback frustrated with the Eagles offense.
3:16
Speaker 1: There you had former Philadelphia Eagle Donovan McNabb who has
3:24
Speaker 1: entered the chat, McNabb urging the Eagles to say bye
3:28
Speaker 1: bye to AJ Brown. Do you see this? Yeah? I know,
3:33
Speaker 1: I know. Well he's like the trade him or whatever.
3:35
Speaker 1: The trade deadline has already passed, so that's not gonna happen.
3:37
Speaker 1: If you didn't see it, Donovan McNabb popped up on
3:41
Speaker 1: Philly's sports radio, So put anyone on Philly Sports Radio,
3:45
Speaker 1: So they put McNab up there. He called in earlier
3:48
Speaker 1: this week and he used as an example a point
3:53
Speaker 1: of reference. He used his former coach and now the
3:57
Speaker 1: coach of the chiefs Andy Reid, as an example. Is
4:01
Speaker 1: that Andy trying to explain why a toxic culture can
4:05
Speaker 1: hurt the entire team. McNabb said quote, among other things,
4:08
Speaker 1: he said, it's when you start bringing pieces in that
4:12
Speaker 1: the toxic talk starts to create a bad aura around
4:17
Speaker 1: the team when discussing AJ Brown. So that is a
4:22
Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question, what
4:26
Speaker 1: is your verdict on Donovan McNabb urging the Eagles to
4:31
Speaker 1: unload AJ Brown because of the toxic culture brewing in Philadelphia.
4:39
Speaker 1: It must be in the water supply. So my observations
4:42
Speaker 1: on this, I've got South Park x men and a
4:47
Speaker 1: Windy's Frosty, and we will combine all of these things
4:51
Speaker 1: together and we are gonna make the Gabba Ghoul with
4:54
Speaker 1: a side of Baba Ganoosh is what we're going to make. Yeah,
4:58
Speaker 1: all right, so number one, number one. Yes, So we
5:05
Speaker 1: agree that the relationship between A. J. Brown and the
5:08
Speaker 1: Eagles is crack a lacing like the old pavement there.
5:11
Speaker 1: If you've been to Philadelphia on the Vine Street Expressway
5:15
Speaker 1: right there in downtown Philadelphia, it's it's not looking good.
5:18
Speaker 1: It's not looking good. And we love it. From a
5:21
Speaker 1: talk radio standpoint. We're not Eagle fans, so we think
5:24
Speaker 1: it's just freaking great. Uh, that AJ and the Birds
5:29
Speaker 1: are heading towards Splitsville and how Howie Freeman, Howie Freeman,
5:34
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman, the GM of the Eagles there who's loves
5:38
Speaker 1: the camera and broadcasters love him. This was a misstep
5:42
Speaker 1: by the Eagles front office. They had offers, standing offers
5:46
Speaker 1: to trade AJ Brown, and they're hubris. They're like, oh no,
5:50
Speaker 1: we don't need to do we can we can navigate
5:53
Speaker 1: this well. Okay, we'll see if you're correct or not.
5:56
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like you're navigating it very well at
5:58
Speaker 1: this particular point. You know, I'm gonna keep this guy.
6:01
Speaker 1: And so they are heading towards Splitsville in Philadelphia, but
6:06
Speaker 1: the trade deadline has passed. Now that said, you are
6:11
Speaker 1: not the guy, Donovan McNabb. You're not the guy to
6:15
Speaker 1: give the state of the Bird's address when it comes
6:19
Speaker 1: to the relationship between Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown. Here's why,
6:23
Speaker 1: because you are the former quarterback who needed a birf
6:28
Speaker 1: bag in the Super Bowl, a literal barf bag, vomit
6:33
Speaker 1: in the air everywhere in Jacksonville against the Patriots. We
6:37
Speaker 1: don't forget, we don't forget keeping it real. It's not
6:41
Speaker 1: really analysis by Donovan McNabb. The former Eagles quarterback. No, no,
6:47
Speaker 1: this is unresolved. Trauma is what this is. It is
6:52
Speaker 1: t O Terrell Owens broke Donovan McNabb's spirit so much.
6:58
Speaker 1: He did it before social media. Social media was not
7:01
Speaker 1: really a thing the way that it's become now. It's
7:04
Speaker 1: the matrix, it's the full matrix. It was people dabbling
7:06
Speaker 1: in that world, but it was nothing like it is today.
7:08
Speaker 1: Right when that was going on, they were able to
7:12
Speaker 1: go mano amano toe to toe, eye to eye, belly
7:16
Speaker 1: to belly without social media. McNab on one side and
7:21
Speaker 1: Owen's on the other. And so it wasn't documented in
7:26
Speaker 1: memes and gifts and all that stuff. It wasn't There
7:28
Speaker 1: weren't bot farms in Maldova that were keeping track of
7:32
Speaker 1: everything and weaponizing all that. So t O for McNab
7:37
Speaker 1: was the horror movie villain for mister McNabb there, and
7:42
Speaker 1: he can hear the theme music in the back of
7:45
Speaker 1: his head. It's just it's it's subtle, but it's there.
7:48
Speaker 1: It's kind of like in the background. And so now
7:51
Speaker 1: he sees aj Brown McNab he's not played in years.
7:55
Speaker 1: He sees Aj Brown and that triggers a flashback. Oh
7:59
Speaker 1: so it's not only commentary so much from McNab as
8:03
Speaker 1: it's a therapy session disguised as a call into a
8:06
Speaker 1: sports radio show from from Donovan. Here he's going cartman
8:12
Speaker 1: from south Park and he's going cartman from south Park.
8:14
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Well, why don't you show me,
8:16
Speaker 1: Donovan on the doll where t o hurt your confidence?
8:20
Speaker 1: Can you show me where? Okay, right right there? Okay
8:23
Speaker 1: where else? Okay there to Okay, we'll see that. Yeah.
8:27
Speaker 1: Uh So a J.
8:27
Speaker 2: A J.
8:28
Speaker 1: Brown has been chirping, because that's what birds do. They chirp.
8:30
Speaker 1: Trip trip trip trip trip trip trip trip. And uh
8:33
Speaker 1: he's also been chipping the paint off the the Eagles.
8:37
Speaker 1: They just won the Super Bowl a year ago with
8:39
Speaker 1: A J. Brown. But he has been in Jalen Hurts
8:43
Speaker 1: business in his face literally and figuratively. Toxic guy. Toxic guy.
8:51
Speaker 1: And from that standpoint, and normally, if your production is good,
8:57
Speaker 1: you stick around. If your production is bad, you go away.
8:59
Speaker 1: This is a career low in many areas for AJ
9:03
Speaker 1: Brown this season. So the production is going down. And
9:05
Speaker 1: McNabb referenced Tyreek Hill and he used Tyreek as an
9:09
Speaker 1: example to make his case. He didn't bring up t Oh,
9:12
Speaker 1: mind you. He brought up Tyreek Hill and Andy Reid
9:15
Speaker 1: getting rid of Tyreek in Kansas City and the Chiefs
9:17
Speaker 1: continuing to win Super Bowls after Tyreek went off to Miami.
9:21
Speaker 1: So he was a fifty to fifty ball kind of guy, right,
9:26
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty maintenance, fifty to fifty ball and aj
9:31
Speaker 1: brown stats are starting to go down, as mentioned, just
9:35
Speaker 1: a little subtle thing at this point. So there's that,
9:39
Speaker 1: and Brown is problematic. McNabb though, is really projecting here.
9:44
Speaker 1: And it's my analysis on this that Donovan McNabb is
9:46
Speaker 1: projecting and Philadelphia's culture, the crack of lacking and all
9:50
Speaker 1: that stuff. It's like the it's like if you go
9:52
Speaker 1: to any gas station they have they all like if
9:56
Speaker 1: you're in Philadelphia, they have like the little Philadelphia souvenirs.
9:59
Speaker 1: Very proud of the fact to the history of Philadelphia
10:01
Speaker 1: in America, so they have like little souvenirs. At the
10:03
Speaker 1: gas station. You can get a little replica Liberty bell
10:05
Speaker 1: that has like the fake crack in it and all
10:07
Speaker 1: that stuff. That's kind of what that is. The Liberty bell,
10:11
Speaker 1: like the cheap ripoff toy that you get at some
10:13
Speaker 1: gas station in Philadelphia. That's where that is not pay sue.
10:18
Speaker 1: We now go to former NFL coaches for a thousand. Please,
10:22
Speaker 1: can I get former Bucks coach and Cardinals coach Bruce
10:26
Speaker 1: Arians online? Yes? All right? So Bruce Arians unloaded unloaded
10:32
Speaker 1: on the Minnesota Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy, Arians ripping McCarthy
10:39
Speaker 1: demanding the former NFL coach demanding that the Vikings quarterback
10:44
Speaker 1: ditch is very dramatic alter ego. And we talked about
10:48
Speaker 1: in a previous episode of the show. Quote, we don't
10:52
Speaker 1: need all this ball one two one thousand ship. We
10:58
Speaker 1: don't need it. We don't need the bull bucket, the
11:02
Speaker 1: bull pucky, we don't need it, don't want it. Talking
11:07
Speaker 1: about the alter ego thing, Bruce Arians said it needs
11:11
Speaker 1: to be a p he washed up. Former coach stated
11:16
Speaker 1: accurate passer was the way he described it. Bruce Arians
11:20
Speaker 1: saying that, and they paid appearance on YouTuber Pat McAfee show.
11:24
Speaker 1: He said, you don't need snot bubbles and tears. The
11:29
Speaker 1: former NFL coach stated, you play quarterback, not linebacker. He said, Okay,
11:36
Speaker 1: we don't need all this bull shoy, the bullshoi ballet
11:41
Speaker 1: I don't need it. I don't need it, he said.
11:44
Speaker 1: So there you go. He said, you're just an effing quarterback.
11:47
Speaker 1: Play quarterback. That's all you're supposed to do. You're not
11:49
Speaker 1: a linebacker. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Right,
11:51
Speaker 1: so let us discuss the question. Is Bruce arians criticism
11:56
Speaker 1: is Bruce arians criticism of Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy and
12:01
Speaker 1: his alter ego nine, that's his alter ego nine, his
12:06
Speaker 1: imaginary friend nine. Is that fair or foul? Fair or foul?
12:16
Speaker 1: That's the question. So Bruce Arians, Now, we went back
12:18
Speaker 1: and we watched the replay. We did an expedited review,
12:21
Speaker 1: and Bruce Arians did not tiptoe into the take. He
12:26
Speaker 1: didn't tiptoe into the take. He kicked the door off
12:29
Speaker 1: the hinges is what he did. And he's right based
12:33
Speaker 1: on a expedited review. Fair ball, fair ball, that's what
12:40
Speaker 1: we call. Right. There you go, and nobody cares about
12:44
Speaker 1: your inner spirit, animal, your imaginary pal, nobody cares about
12:48
Speaker 1: that's it's not stage play. We're not on Broadway or
12:53
Speaker 1: off Broadway. We're not doing that McCarthy's whole nine routine,
12:58
Speaker 1: which is his jersey number. It's kind of like him
13:03
Speaker 1: doing that and playing the way he's playing is akin
13:06
Speaker 1: to sacking the quarterback while your team is down fifty
13:09
Speaker 1: five to nothing and then doing the river dance after
13:12
Speaker 1: you've sacked. Well, you could do the river dance after
13:16
Speaker 1: you sacked the quarterback down fifty five. It doesn't generally
13:19
Speaker 1: look that good. You know. It's not a great look.
13:23
Speaker 1: And this does not fire the guys up. The whole
13:25
Speaker 1: alternative persona doesn't fire anybody up. In fact, it makes
13:28
Speaker 1: a lot of people roll their eyes like, like, what
13:30
Speaker 1: a douche, What an absolute JABBRONI this guy is? You
13:35
Speaker 1: talk about Schmendrick and look it up. This is a
13:39
Speaker 1: Mama Luke if there ever was a Mama Luke. And
13:42
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson does not need drama. He needs the ball
13:47
Speaker 1: to be placed in a position where he can catch it.
13:50
Speaker 1: He needs he needs completions, he needs yards and touchdowns
13:54
Speaker 1: and all those things. He's not getting that, Justin Jefferson,
13:56
Speaker 1: he's not. And so let me tell you a little
13:58
Speaker 1: bit from what I've learned over my years here behind
14:02
Speaker 1: these microphones on how they make the sausage stuffed pigskin.
14:08
Speaker 1: How do they do it how do they make the
14:10
Speaker 1: pigskin sausage. So the alter ego stuff, while it's lame
14:14
Speaker 1: to the membrane, lame to the membrane. The way it
14:20
Speaker 1: works is it's fine if you're good and people are India,
14:28
Speaker 1: it works if you win. You know, Aaron Rodgers is
14:31
Speaker 1: mysterious and he's a deep thinker. And then when he
14:35
Speaker 1: doesn't win, he's a whack a doodle. He's a jackwagon
14:41
Speaker 1: and a cuckoo for cocoa Puff's guy is what he is.
14:46
Speaker 1: And if you and so that's the word, it's the
14:48
Speaker 1: same name. I say. If you lose your JaMarcus Russell,
14:51
Speaker 1: your Ryan Leaf doing cosplay as those guys, that's just
14:56
Speaker 1: the way it is. And so you become Bozo the clown. Congratulations,
15:01
Speaker 1: you are Bozo the Clown. And right now, JJ McCarthy,
15:08
Speaker 1: I'm going up the ladder here looking down at the room.
15:11
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. The Viking quarterback is a founding member of
15:16
Speaker 1: x men. Did you know that? You didn't know that? Okay, well,
15:19
Speaker 1: have you learn something new when you listen to late
15:20
Speaker 1: night radio. He's not nine. He's a founding member of
15:24
Speaker 1: x men. He actually iceman. That's it. He's iceman, and
15:28
Speaker 1: he's a mutant, doesn't play like a mutant. He's a
15:31
Speaker 1: mutant that was born with superhuman skills. Congratulations. McCarthy has
15:37
Speaker 1: the ability to manipulate the ice and cold by freezing water.
15:43
Speaker 1: He takes water vapor and freezes it and then in
15:47
Speaker 1: the process has absolutely destroyed any kind of good mojo.
15:51
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings happen to have their drives with wobbly
15:55
Speaker 1: throws and just so bad. The Vikings often don't even
15:59
Speaker 1: bother throwing because they don't will be an incompletion. So
16:01
Speaker 1: why would they do that? You know that that whole thing,
16:04
Speaker 1: we don't want any part of that. Went another new
16:06
Speaker 1: with that, So so there you go, and just horrible.
16:10
Speaker 1: And Bruce Aaron's giving him the playbook. He's like, well,
16:13
Speaker 1: ditch the whole theater thing, push that, push that off
16:16
Speaker 1: to the side, get rid of the whole theater thing
16:18
Speaker 1: like that. We don't need that, and and that's it,
16:21
Speaker 1: and just throw completions and it's wild. He didn't look
16:25
Speaker 1: at Michigan when I watched McCarthy, but I hadn't say, well,
16:29
Speaker 1: this guy's an NFL quarterback. I didn't look like it
16:31
Speaker 1: at all. The marketing campaign that has taken place over
16:36
Speaker 1: the last fifteen years or so with these guys before
16:38
Speaker 1: the draft. And it goes back to a previous point.
16:41
Speaker 1: We talked about in a previous hour how dumb many
16:43
Speaker 1: people are working sports and they buy the marketing Like
16:48
Speaker 1: there's my theory is they're so lazy that they just
16:50
Speaker 1: like they don't do their homework and they just kind
16:53
Speaker 1: of look at the Oh, this agent's really selling this guy.
16:55
Speaker 1: He's got the whole work, the whole package. Like Kyler
16:58
Speaker 1: Murray had no business being in he was the number
17:01
Speaker 1: one overall pick in the draft because they sold Kyler
17:04
Speaker 1: Murray he can't play. The guy's a good gamer, he's
17:07
Speaker 1: not a good quarterback. But they were able to sell
17:09
Speaker 1: the Cardinals because there are a bunch of idiots there
17:11
Speaker 1: the draft again, and now JJ McCarthy was not the
17:15
Speaker 1: top pick in the draft, but the same concept applies
17:18
Speaker 1: where he had no business being a first round pick.
17:20
Speaker 1: You look at his resume, he said, well, they hardly
17:22
Speaker 1: threw at Michigan. You know, this is a guy that
17:24
Speaker 1: should have been drafted in the fifth or the sixth round.
17:27
Speaker 1: And even there you're like, well, probably not that great.
17:29
Speaker 1: All right final point, we shift over to pro bouncy ball.
17:34
Speaker 1: Why well, Lebron James. There was a report making the
17:39
Speaker 1: rounds here that Lebron James is insisting through his posse
17:44
Speaker 1: that he doesn't no, does not know if he will
17:48
Speaker 1: retire from the Lakers after this current NBA season, a
17:53
Speaker 1: story that was conveniently leaked by Camp Lebron, letting the
17:58
Speaker 1: world know that this could that's a weasel word, could
18:03
Speaker 1: be Lebron's last season. However, he's undecided me, yes, you
18:10
Speaker 1: undecided there, and he might feel even more responsibility to
18:15
Speaker 1: play in every game because he's God's gift of basketball
18:19
Speaker 1: every game. And if it was like a retirement tour situation,
18:23
Speaker 1: So let us talk about this one. The question what
18:28
Speaker 1: are the chances? What are the chances is that Lebron
18:32
Speaker 1: James skips out on a retirement tour, that he just
18:36
Speaker 1: quietly retires at the end of this season and says,
18:39
Speaker 1: I'm gone, I'm going fishing. I know this a really
18:44
Speaker 1: good lake back back in Ohio I love and I'm
18:46
Speaker 1: just gonna go to that lake and that's just gonna
18:48
Speaker 1: be it. And that's all. Yeah. So the malaradds the
18:53
Speaker 1: Ben Malor Show malarods from the Malor Sports Book. These
18:57
Speaker 1: are non official odds. These are Ben Malor Show odds.
19:00
Speaker 1: Ron James skipping a retirement tour to quietly go away. Now,
19:06
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be fair. The odds are gonna shock you. You
19:10
Speaker 1: don't know where they are. Even Anthony and Anaheim doesn't
19:13
Speaker 1: know what they are. The odds are zero point zero
19:18
Speaker 1: point zero zero zero zero zero percent. I'm talking buzz
19:25
Speaker 1: Lightyear to Infinity and beyond Squad. Yeah, the whole thing.
19:32
Speaker 1: Lebron James is not Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan snuck out
19:37
Speaker 1: the fire escape at the Spurs facility wearing Dad jeans
19:41
Speaker 1: and holding a Windy's Frosty Lebron. Ain't that That's not Lebron. No, no, no, no,
19:47
Speaker 1: this is the quinnessential prima Donna. Lebron James. He's addicted
19:52
Speaker 1: to the spotlight. He's made tons and tons of money
19:55
Speaker 1: doing it. He hears a basketball bounce, bouncy bouncy, bouncy
19:59
Speaker 1: bouncy bouncy, and the camera lens opens up. It's who
20:04
Speaker 1: he is. He is not built. Lebron is not built
20:06

26:20
Speaker 1: So a lot to get to and your wonderful commentary
26:25
Speaker 1: A Scrooge in the Younger Demo. He loves to brag
26:27
Speaker 1: about that, he says, speaking of toe licking and ass kissing,
26:31
Speaker 1: he says, I was hearing commentary commentators. I think he
26:35
Speaker 1: meant to do that to Chris Paul talking about how
26:37
Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Famer and what a great legacy question,
26:41
Speaker 1: Scrooge says, what the hell is Chris Paul's great legacy
26:45
Speaker 1: other than choking in the playoffs? Well, his legacy is
26:49
Speaker 1: that he was really nice to a lot of people,
26:51
Speaker 1: and he was a great regular season player. And when
26:54
Speaker 1: the lights got the brightest, it was like he was
26:57
Speaker 1: in a sun tan booth and fell asleep and got sunburned,
27:03
Speaker 1: unfort And it still blows my mind that the Lob
27:07
Speaker 1: City Clippers did not win. Uh, And that was a
27:10
Speaker 1: team set up to win. They had everything, and they
27:14
Speaker 1: had they hired the wrong coach. I guess they didn't
27:16
Speaker 1: have everything. Doc Rivers couldn't coach his way out of
27:18
Speaker 1: a wet paperback. He's still making money as an NBA coach.
27:21
Speaker 1: What a con artist? Doc Rivers says, holy crap. Seriously,
27:25
Speaker 1: he's still getting paid as an NBA. Did you know that,
27:29
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers has he's living off that Celtic championship where
27:34
Speaker 1: he was carried by a certain player from Minnesota who
27:39
Speaker 1: came to Boston and carried them to a championship, and
27:41
Speaker 1: he's still the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. Doc frickin'
27:45
Speaker 1: Rivers's that's wild. Ferg Dog says, hey, Ben Lebron could
27:50
Speaker 1: be Irish, for all we know. The black irishman proved
27:54
Speaker 1: it is possible. That's fair point, fair point. Just Josh said,
28:00
Speaker 1: Stranger things have happened, but I'd take eleven over nine
28:05
Speaker 1: every freaking day of the week. JJ McCarthy is, and
28:10
Speaker 1: he's quoting here. McCarthy's actually, well, Just Josh is quoting
28:14
Speaker 1: the great quarterback cam Ward of the Tennessee Titans, saying,
28:18
Speaker 1: we ass talking about McCarthy just being ass which would
28:23
Speaker 1: be accurate and breaking news, breaking news from our buddy
28:28
Speaker 1: Matt de Bears fan who sent me this. I have
28:31
Speaker 1: really no idea what this thing is and I'm not
28:34
Speaker 1: sure if it's legit or not. I don't know it's
28:36
Speaker 1: from a website I've never heard of, and Matt said, hey,
28:41
Speaker 1: you're in this thing. So I said, well, what is that?
28:42
Speaker 1: I clicked on it and I was like, I was
28:44
Speaker 1: kind of early in the morning and I clicked on it,
28:45
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't really know what that is.
28:46
Speaker 1: It's like this tournament thing, and I'm like, I don't
28:48
Speaker 1: really do tournaments, but I'll click on it. So I
28:51
Speaker 1: clicked on it, and then they had the America's Best.
28:56
Speaker 1: That means it's good us all the rest best sports
28:59
Speaker 1: talk radio and slash podcast. So this is like you
29:04
Speaker 1: could vote on who the top thing, and we somehow
29:07
Speaker 1: got in there. I mean, maybe there's a lack of
29:09
Speaker 1: sports radio and podcasts. I guess I don't know what.
29:11
Speaker 1: We got in there, and we knocked off in the
29:15
Speaker 1: first round. We're in Division three. We took down a
29:21
Speaker 1: sports talk radio legend, the Mallard Militia, and again big
29:26
Speaker 1: props to Matt the Bears fan, but the Mallard Militia.
29:29
Speaker 1: We took down Chris mad Dog Russo from Mike and
29:34
Speaker 1: the mad Dog in round one and we just eliminated.
29:38
Speaker 1: Sorry to our guys in Seattle. Was Mallard versus Maller
29:41
Speaker 1: in the second round. We took out Dave Softy Maller,
29:46
Speaker 1: the sports radio legend in Seattle. We had to take
29:49
Speaker 1: him out to Mallam Militia. And now we're going against
29:52
Speaker 1: the sports junkies. I don't know if I know who
29:56
Speaker 1: those guys are there in DC, but we're going ask
30:00
Speaker 1: those guys, the sports junkies. So that's up next. And
30:03
Speaker 1: we were setting this up. There's there's a there's a
30:06
Speaker 1: good chance we're gonna get the Power Trip in the
30:11
Speaker 1: next if we beat the sports junkies. I want to
30:13
Speaker 1: get ahead of myself. You gotta take it one We
30:15
Speaker 1: take it one game at a time. Of course, you
30:17
Speaker 1: know we were somehow able to beat the sports junkies.
30:20
Speaker 1: We're setting up for a steelcage death match against the
30:24
Speaker 1: Power Trip, the big morning show in Minnesota. That packed
30:28
Speaker 1: absolutely packed a bar in Vegas at four in the morning,
30:33
Speaker 1: and I went on their show. So that could that
30:35
Speaker 1: could be the matchup. You start looking ahead for TV ratings.
30:37
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of this stuff is for television rating,
30:39
Speaker 1: in our case is radio ratings. So think of that matchup.
30:42
Speaker 1: But we got I don't want to get at or
30:43
Speaker 1: we got to beat the sports junkie. We could lose.
30:45
Speaker 1: We could lose to the sports junkies. I don't want
30:49
Speaker 1: that to happen. I don't want that to happen. But
30:51
Speaker 1: that's that's where it's at. So the next round, Well,
30:54
Speaker 1: you can't vote right now, so I'm not gonna bother
30:55
Speaker 1: mentioning it. But the next round will be in a
30:57
Speaker 1: couple of days. So that sounds like good podcast fodder.
31:01
Speaker 1: In the meantime, let's go to the phones, and we
31:03
Speaker 1: go to Vegas and everyone's favorite homeless person. Right now,
31:08
Speaker 1: we have a lot of great homeless callers with your
31:10
Speaker 1: Obama phones. But let's say hello to mouth wash Mike.
31:14
Speaker 1: Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas, Hello, Mouthwash Mike. There
31:26
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, listen, a lot you're calling all
31:28
Speaker 1: the time. Now you stop calling. You were in the hospital,
31:31
Speaker 1: you were arrested, but now you're calling a couple times
31:33
Speaker 1: a week we get to talk to you. How lucky
31:35
Speaker 1: are we?
31:35
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I know it's probably because I'm going
31:39
Speaker 5: through my period or something like that.
31:42
Speaker 1: Well, listen, you must make to your shower and take
31:46
Speaker 1: care of yourself. Please stay clean.
31:50
Speaker 5: You know, I think you're talking about Nelson Mandello and
31:55
Speaker 5: you're talking about them putting that what well you're you're
32:04
Speaker 5: talking about somebody who died in well, hold on, No.
32:08
Speaker 1: I was talking about there's a there's a like a
32:11
Speaker 1: gift or me whatever of this this funeral and they're
32:15
Speaker 1: carrying the casket and they're they're raising it up and
32:18
Speaker 1: down like it's like a like a party.
32:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're talking about Nelson.
32:26
Speaker 1: No I did not mention Nelson Mandel. Okay, yeah, I
32:30
Speaker 1: didn't see his his what what are you doing? What
32:35
Speaker 1: the it's the coffin. The coffin dance is what it is. Okay,
32:43
Speaker 1: it's it's going out with a dance, you know, do
32:45
Speaker 1: a little dance and that whole thing. Yeah, they have
32:48
Speaker 1: souvenirs you can buy all that. I guess it's uh,
32:51
Speaker 1: it's in Ghana, the Ghana dancing coffin pall bearers there
32:57
Speaker 1: you go, all right, that's funny. Everyone has to have
33:06
Speaker 1: a job, right to be productive in society. Not well,
33:09
Speaker 1: not you, but everyone else has to have a job.
33:10
Speaker 1: And so your I guess your job is calling sports radio.
33:13
Speaker 1: Would that be correct? Your job?
33:14
Speaker 3: Yeah? You know what that is?
33:17
Speaker 5: What it is right now?
33:20
Speaker 2: Yeah?
33:20
Speaker 1: I hear you? And how's that working out for everything. Good.
33:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, for sure, I'm old. I'm fort yeah, okay,
33:33
Speaker 5: Vegas or whatever and uh and uh you know what
33:39
Speaker 5: what what?
33:40
Speaker 3: So what?
33:40
Speaker 1: Why?
33:43
Speaker 5: Okay? As far as the Minnesota Vikings go, because I'm
33:47
Speaker 5: from Minnesota, so I have to be I'm forced to
33:50
Speaker 5: be a Vikings fan. Uh. You know, I think their
33:56
Speaker 5: problem is they're paying one wide receiver way too much money.
34:04
Speaker 1: That is not their problem. Their problem is the guy
34:07
Speaker 1: that they drafted to be the quarterback blows. That's the problem.
34:11
Speaker 1: If McCarthy knew what he was doing, it wouldn't be
34:14
Speaker 1: an issue.
34:16
Speaker 3: All right, all right, well, you know that's probably part
34:20
Speaker 3: of it. But you know the okay then, yeah, maybe
34:26
Speaker 3: there's two parts.
34:27
Speaker 1: Of that, you know, A more important What are you
34:30
Speaker 1: doing for Thanksgiving? You got plans? You're going down the.
34:33
Speaker 5: Oh jeez, yeah plans. I don't know. I'll probably get
34:37
Speaker 5: some instant mashed potatoes and maybe a turkey sandwich.
34:46
Speaker 1: Well that sounds like a wonderful Thanksgiving, really honoring the
34:49
Speaker 1: history of America. In fact, with the Pilgrims when they
34:53
Speaker 1: they had that big Thanksgiving dinner, they actually ate instant
34:56
Speaker 1: mashed potatoes. A lot of people don't know that. They don't.
34:58
Speaker 1: They don't realize that that they came across on the Mayflower.
35:01
Speaker 1: They ate the instant mashed potatoes. It was very odd
35:04
Speaker 1: that they would do that, but they did, and it
35:06
Speaker 1: was a peace offering. They gave him a turkey sandwich
35:08
Speaker 1: with mayo and people love that. So yeah, all right,
35:13
Speaker 1: we love your mouthwash, Mike, but I gotta go. Well man,
35:16
Speaker 1: but you're there, thank you. All right, be safe out
35:18
Speaker 1: there on the mean streets of Las Vegas. Be good. Well.
35:21
Speaker 1: The one hundred percent guy that would be Lincoln Riley,
35:26
Speaker 1: who was asked about whether or not he's going to
35:28
Speaker 1: leave to take one of these other big time coaching
35:30
Speaker 1: jobs in college football. The Southern Cow coach Lincoln Riley
35:33
Speaker 1: said that he is one hundred percent staying as the
35:37
Speaker 1: USC coach, which means he's on a flight out to
35:41
Speaker 1: where's he gonna go? Gainesville? Where's he going? No, he's
35:45
Speaker 1: going Baton Rouge. But here is Lincoln Riley one hundred percent.
35:51
Speaker 2: Leaving.
35:51
Speaker 1: No room. Didn't say ninety nine percent or ninety nine
35:55
Speaker 1: point nine percent, said one. He said it. He said
35:58
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And I saw that. The former UCLA
36:01
Speaker 1: coach Jim Mora, the son of the very nice Jim Mora,
36:06
Speaker 1: the old man with his kid, Jim Mora will be
36:09
Speaker 1: leaving Yukon going to Colorado State. How embarrassing is that
36:13
Speaker 1: going to be for Dion? When Colorado State has a
36:15
Speaker 1: better team than Colorado. That's not gonna go over well
36:18
Speaker 1: for Dion. It is the Ben Maler Show. Time now
