  Speaker 1: All right, look at that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: That was great.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: All you give us ten minutes and we love our advertises,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: my god. All right, so our lead this hour is
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: from the Purple Paradise. Now. The Vikings obviously are not
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: playing because they sucked this year. They're not playing. But
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: they did make some headlines I thought was interesting over
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the weekend, and since I have editorial control, to me,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: this was the most interesting thing.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I did an emergency Mallard monologue on the Fifth Hour
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: podcast Saturday episode, which I know you heard because you're
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a real fan. You're not a fraud, you're not a phony, right,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: You're a real person, so you pay attention. You're a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: fan of what we do. So I know you heard
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour emergency Mallord monologue on the However, there's
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: been some new information that has come out now if
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you missed it over the week at a shakeup in
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the Twin Cities there as over the weekend, we learned
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that the Vikings had said bye bye the Quezy Adolpha mensa,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the GM and the logic behind it. The reports claiming
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that he was using Pro Football Focus better known by
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: their gangster named PFF, to evaluate and select players for
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the draft. So essentially he was just using a NERD
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: website to decide who the Vikings should pick. That's the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: report there. Yeah, and what would have been fine if
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: they had given him good advice, but he had historically
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: bad picks in the NFL draft for four seasons, zero
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: hits in four years as the GM of the Vikings,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and so that was it. He also got ripped for
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: taking the two full weeks of maternity leave, among the things.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Ye know, it's one of those things that well, you're
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you're giving it, but if you really love your job
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and you want to work, you shouldn't take the full
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: two weeks. He took the full two weeks, so he's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: getting slammed for that, and so that is a good
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question who leaked?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Who do you think leaked this story, because it's one
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: thing you get changed the GM find that happens, but
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: who leaked the story? At the former Vikings GM Quasi
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Adolpha Mensa was using a nerd website to draft players,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and that that was one of the things that led
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to his demise in Minnesota. So I've got my take
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: on this. I've got kling On Morton's, Kosher salt and recycling,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: we are going to make a juicy, lucy delicious. Get
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that burger, but the cheese right in the middle there,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Yum yum to my tump tump. So A, It's clear
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that the move made by the Vikings was the first
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: in a chain reaction, right that was the beginning. The
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Vikings said, Okay, we're going to randomly get rid of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the general manager a month after the regular season ending.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: But somebody's out for blood, and it would indicate based
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the indication is it's more than one person. It's more
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: than one person. That this was not just information that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: was tossed out. This was a hit like he had
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: an astragrin. Somebody had an astra ground here. Now, we
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: always ask two questions in situations like this. The first
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: question is who benefits? And the second question is why leak? Now?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Who benefits? And why a leak? Now? Well, and don't
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: tell me it was Qurazy the GM here that he
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: leaked it. He looks like a guy who got pushed
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: off a pier, and he was wearing concrete sneakers. They
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: didn't have the swoosh on them, if you know what
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I mean. Here, for four years, no success in the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: NFL draft none, mostly Ham and Eggers. The Vikings were drafting,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and that's who they were getting here. And now we
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: find out, if this report is accurate, that he was
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: drafting off essentially spreadsheets. The Vikings were using the algorithm.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It was kind of like you would shop for airplane tickets.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: It says, what's the proper time to shop for the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: cheapest airfare to buy a ticket to go to Charleston,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: South Carolina. Okay, so let me see here. Well, you're
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: supposed to buy it on a Tuesday afternoon, but you
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: have to buy it afternoon, but you have to buy
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: it before four o'clock. And if you buy it at
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the perfect time, which probably is two twenty five, you
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: can save a couple bucks. So that's that. And this
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: of course is after the fact reporting, right, nobody said
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: any of this prior to the Vikings getting rid of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the GM. Then all of a sudden, all these things
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: pop up here. It's easy to take some shots. And
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the guys already floating down the river face down in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the body of water there, I guess in this case
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the lake land of ten Thousand Lakes. Every team from
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: what instand, every team has used the nerds at Pro
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Football Focus. Now to say that that's the only thing
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that you're doing right, that's crazy. And this is being
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: leaked like its contraband that the Vikings GM former GM
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: was using. And so that tells you it's personal. It's personal,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and the leak is a message and it's the words
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: of the great LeVar Ball. Stay in your light, stay
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: in your lane, nerd, what's wrong with you? And it
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: would appear based on a minute long investigation and deliberationally
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: available evidence that Adolpha Mensa was an interloper and was
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: never welcomed to the cool kids club he was. He
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: didn't have the NFL scouting bloodlines right, He wasn't a
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: second or third generation NFL person, no dirt from, no
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: mud under his fingernails from playing football. And also the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: perception is that he didn't truly pay his dues. He
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: played basketball at Princeton, Princeton, that's not a football guy.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Worked on Wall Street, and then he was an analytical
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: person in the NFL. That was his job there walking
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: into NFL locker rooms, essentially speaking klingon when he went
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: in there. And so who leaked it, Well, it's the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: old guard, the football lifers. They're the ones. More likely
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: than not, the guy's annoyed that this guy came in
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: here and he was not part of their ecosystem and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: an outsider, and he ended up running an NFL team.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: So it's over the weekend. It was a dog pile,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: is what it was. And the twenty twenty five Vikings
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the ship not be sinking. The ship sank. And it's
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: not like you blame the iceberg. No, no, no, you
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: blame the nerd holding the map is what you blame.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: That's you. But now, staying with that theme, in Minnesota,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson said recently in some podcast
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: that seven people heard that the team had quote difficulty
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: at quarterback. Well, that's kind of obvious, and he admitted,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson that the Vikings would have performed better with
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold since he had more experience working with the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: team in twenty twenty four. So Jefferson, the quote was
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: having a quarterback that already had a season under his belt.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: With us, knew the plays, knew the playbook, knew the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: players throwing to me blah blah blah blah blah. Jefferson said,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I quote, definitely feel like we would have done better,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: is what he said. So the question for the class
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: on this one, Justin Jefferson, the all everything wide receiver,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: giving a sermon that the Vikings would have been better
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: off with Sam Donald over JJ McCarthy this past season.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Does that work for you? Or no way? All right?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: So the arrow on this one is pointing towards no
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: way all right. This story is kosher in the fact
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that Justin Jefferson went and grabbed a Morton's container of
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: kosher salt and then dumped it straight into the grave
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: of his now former GM crazy Adolpha Mensa. Okay, here
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: you go, pal, I'm gonna pour some salt over there.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: This was not just a rant and rave by Justin Jefferson.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: This was a trial transcript, if you will, in many
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: ways here because the verdict guilty. Justin Jefferson did not
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: just praise Sam darn. I guess Jefferson must not have
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: been there when Donald played against the Lions and the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Rams at the end of his Minnesota career. Maybe he
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: missed those games, but he also hit Justin Jefferson the
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: daily double, Daily double. Not only did he slobber all
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: over Sam Darnold, but he also called out JJ McCarthy.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: In fact, he actually took a zamboni and ran over
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, ran over him with the zamboni, uh the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: quarterback JJ McCarthy, and then backed up the zamboni to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: run over him again, B B BE and backed it
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: up and B and then did it again. And despite
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a red shirt season. Remember JJ McCarthy had a red
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: shirt season to learn the plays because he got hurt.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: But he was there and through Osmosis was supposed to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: learn everything and had the quarterback whisper and all this stuff,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and according to Justin Jefferson, he did not know the playbook.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: That's what Jefferson said, have somebody that knew the playbook. Well,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: why would you need to have somebody who knew the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: playbook if the guy you played didn't know the playbook.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: So he clearly called out the lack of preparation for
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. So that's Viking on Viking crime. And despite
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: having a year to learn the playbook and everything like that.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: It didn't work out, So you're saying the quiet part
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: out loud. Find and it's pretty clear that Jefferson, when
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the end of the season Get Together the exit interview happened,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: he was not was not advocating for the continuation of
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the Viking general manager, and instead he was likely testifying
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: against the Viking general manager. Nevertheless, let's kill the fairy
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: tale right now. We believe in the truth in broadcasting,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: so we will be the myth busters, and as the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: myth busters, we will destroy the myth that is being
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: spread by Justin Jefferson. Pretty clear that this is some
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: nonsense here. This is a man who shot liberty valance situation.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: When the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend, right.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: The legend is that this is the way it is,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and that's that. But if you look at Sam Darnald,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Seattle is going to play less than a week from
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: today in the Super Bowl, that is correct. When the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: issue is that Darnald's not the reason they're there. And
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: there's this myth, it's this disease that people have as well.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Teams in the quarterbacks, so it must be teams in
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl must be the quarterback teams in Super
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Bowl must be the quarterback against top ten teams against
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the top opponents that the Seahawks played. Sam Donald was
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the nineteenth ranked quarterback in the NFL this year. Orgo,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: he was not flying the plane. He was in coach.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: He had a middle seat and there was no available
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: space in the overhead bin and he was holding a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: bag on his lap of turnovers. In fact, he had
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: twenty turnovers Sam Donald this year. That is the most
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: of any quarterback in the NFL. He was worse at
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: turning the ball over ball security than Geno Smith and Tua.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: And I have these fan boys that worship Sam Donald
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: because they think, oh, the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So it's all because of some of course, these are
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: dumb people, and that's the way it is. But never
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: let the true with getting away with the good story. Now,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: last word, we have the coaching shuffle. Will work our
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: way through that as we get through the overnight. But
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: how about in San Francisco or Santa Clara former Atlanta
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Falcon coach, the failed Raheem Morris. What a joke of
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: a coach this guy is. And he lands on his feet,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: he gets a new gig. He will be running the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Niners defense when the next season comes around here. In
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, he was hired to replace Robert Sala,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: who is going and doing motivational speaking in Nashville now
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: at the Grand Old Opry and will occasionally coach the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. So the question Raheem Morris named the forty
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: nine er defensive coordinator. Is this an upgrade, a down
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: grade or a lateral move for the Niners defense. So
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: being thorough on this, and I do know Raheem Morris
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: because he was the Rams defensive coordinator, So I'm familiar
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: with the man's body of work. And I will be
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: fair when I tell my friends are Nesto in the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Bay and Terry in England was a forty nine fan
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: jay school. This is a major downgrade. So I'm not
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: upset as somebody that likes the Rams, I am. I
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: support this. This guy's not that good. So that is
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: a good move by the Niners. You have just worsened
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: your defense. Good job by you. I don't even think
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: this is close. I don't all right, this is like
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: a name recognition situation. Well, we know the name and
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: so we can't be that bad. He's been the other
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: But if you do this shuffle, there's a lot of recycling.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of recycling going on here, and it's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: just another name. These names just kept bouncing around and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, that guy coaching in Atlanta, he was
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: with the Rams, so I now go to the Niners
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and then bounce around somewhere else there. If you look
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: at the resume of Rahue Morris, loaded rosters, often middling
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: results in most places, no real elite defense. There's the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: defenses generally don't have a lot of fear with him coaching.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: They don't. And when Morris was with the Rams or Morris,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: it drove me insane because they played such a soft
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: branded defense that they are cushion. You just gave up
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of things you didn't necessarily need to give
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: up playing patty cake, and it was very maddening, and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: it was consistent and the newtered pass rush and just
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: like playing soft safe. It was just bad soft zones
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: with the Rams, which was not particularly good. There a
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: lot of cushion and problematic and low pressure rates and
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. And it's the soft underbelly is what
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: it is. It's that soft underbelly that you have. And
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: it again, it's a recycling situation. The NFL loves to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: recycle these guys. They just bounce from team to team
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to team, and you I wonder even how long he's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: going to be there. It's more like a pit stop situation.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: And it's like, well this is a stepping stone. Everyone else,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: who's the Niners defensive coordinator? It seems to get a
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: head coaching job, So I'll just go hang out there
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: for a year or two if you're Raheem Morris and
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: some other dumb team will hire me, which blows my
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: mind because he's failed twice as a head coach and
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: really just not have the skill set to be a
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: successful head coach. It would a beer at a talented
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: team in Atlanta, great underachieving Falcon team while he was there,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and you look at it, and there's also just hire
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: a friend Shanahan, Kyle Shannan's, ah, we work together. I
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: know the guy. It's like the same names, same ideas,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: different years. They just shuffle the deck and that's it.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: And it is recycling, you know, it's like, let's take
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: it to the recycling plant. That's that. It is the

  Speaker 1: to her, All right, Mark and Queen's right. Since its
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: big Ben's skillful use of the backup sound of Justin
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Jefferson running over the other JJ on the team multiple
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: times in his own personal zamboni, you very skillfully put
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: these words and thoughts together. There you go, good job, well,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: thank you. Now I have seen the zamboni. The zamboni backup,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I added the beep. I don't know that a zamboni
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: actually makes that that sound. I don't pa zamboni go backwards.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: That's a great question. I will google this. Okay, let's
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: let's get the bomb list. The zamboni's it only afford
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: it has to be able to go backwards. Right, you
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: would think it normally doesn't go backwards, but you'd think
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: it has to have the ability at some point to
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: go backwards. You would think that that would be the case. There,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Ryan says David Shula's blitz rate zero percent, defense gave
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: up seven after offensive scores. Blah blah. I'll take raheem
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: any day. It's not David Sho. You can get the name. Yes,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I have, I have answers. Okay, here's let's get to
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the zamboia. We'd like to learn all the affiliates. Right now,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: here's the zamboni update. Can a zamboni go backwards or
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: did I just make that up? Indeed, zamboni's can go
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: back Yeah, the zambone me what but it only releases
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the water spraying function if it's moving. For but the zamboni,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: a rather large could kill someone if you run, if
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: you get run over by Zamboni, mighty large. That's by
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: bye Zamboni. Time, Bye bye Zamboni. All right. Uh see,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Fergdog says your big bird board of reasons. Sam Donald's
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: mediocre mediocre game manager very convincing. You'd have to be
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: a member of the extremist group known as the Twelves
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: kauf cough cough, No stre Denis kauf cough cough to
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: think otherwise. Donald basically Eli manning two point zero in
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that In that realm Michael writes and says, Ben, what
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: is your over under on? How many celebrities, ex athletes
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and ex coaches to the exact same interviews on Radio
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Row this week? More importantly, how many fake laughs? Oh,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I I've seen it. I've been able to go the
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: last like five years. I think I've been to three
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: of the last four Radio Row things. And it's it's
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: a madhouse. It's uh my favorite we interviewed on my
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: podcast the fifth hour we had was it EMMITTT. Smith
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: holding a roll of paper towels. Here I am, I'm
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: interviewing the all time leading rusher in NFL history, and
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: he's holding a container of paper towels. I don't, I
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: think so, but it was just it was just funny.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: He's like, he's like, oh, you know, they just they
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: have no shame, and they all it's all the same setup,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: because like the players come in there and they they're
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: they're flake flaked, they're flanked or flaked. They're flanked by
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: PR hacks. Right, So you've got PR hacks and they're
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: wandering around and it's it's like a carnival, and everyone
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: thinks they're God's gift to the world. Everyone's an elitist.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: It's really just you just want to punch somebody. And
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: then you have the radio TV people that are walking
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: around who think they're a big deal, right, they think
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: their crap doesn't stink, and so they a lot of
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: them will just walk, they'll do laps around the buildings
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: so they get noticed because their ego mania, their attention whorse,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: and they want people to notice them. Yeah, Fat Daddy says, sorry,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: big man, I wasn't paying attention to your monologue, just
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: like I wasn't paying attention to the Pro Bowl. But
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing it was a one. Did they play the
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl on Sunday? Did they I didn't. Did they?
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. I have no interest in that.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I don't Why would I watch that. I don't really care.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't if they if they did
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: play it, I don't. I didn't watch it. Yeah, see
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: here about it's on Tuesday. It's on Tuesday. Really, but
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I still won't watch it. But it's it's on Tuesday. OK,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: you're good. That's there. You go. Then it used to
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: be on the Sunday before the super Bowl. They Yeah,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I thought it was today. Yeah, I have no no content.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't know. Let's go to the phones and we'll
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: say hello, eeny meenie, miney moe. Let's saylo to Danny DeVito,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: America's favorite trash man. He's in the Boston area. Hello Danny, welcome.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Ben mel Helpy Monday, Monday, Monday.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know it, Ben calling. How he's not coaches
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Robert Sala. I mean, the guy is a failure. He
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: gets the job again. I can't believe that he's going
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: to a toll full as you know, he's not going
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: to make it over there. I'm you know, these teams
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: just throw away money like that. Raheem Moore's another one.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: I know you already talked about a lot this week
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: and earlier. It's fascinated that this college there was a
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: college game out there. How about trying out some new blood,
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: you know, give.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Give a guy a shot up another that though, Dan,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on head hunting
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: firms to decide who to hire. So you've got this
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: whole big bureaucracy. How hard is it? These firms are
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Who's here's you hire? And it's like the same it's
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: the same people or certain coordinators who it's usually whatever
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the formula is, whatever coordinators on a Super Bowl team
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: like this year, Clint Kubiak is going to get the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Raider job. And that's a new name, but it's not
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: really a new name because he's been around for a
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: couple of years. The Seahawks had a good they didn't
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: they didn't get to the Super Bowl because their offense.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: But he happens to be the offensive coordinator, so he's
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: going to get the job. And his dad was a coach,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: so it's it's that whole thing, right, It's like, well,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: you know, it's nepotism. So he's it's a familiar name.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: It's the family business and all that stuff. So they
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: spend one hundreds of thousands and I could be a
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: consult Pay me the money. I'll come up with some
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: names for you.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Come on, come on, Ben. And both coaches are gonna fail,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: you know, especially Salah. I mean he's gonna fail.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Well, well, I like him as a speaker. He's a
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: terrible coach, but I like the way he talks. He's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: said I wanted him to do well, but he doesn't
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: seem like he knows what he's doing.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: No, it was already proven too. And then an old thing, Uh,
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: I got a question about the great Blind Scott. He's
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: really becoming a name over here. On ninety eight five,
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Fred touch and makes him about a month ago, saying
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: he's trans. So what does that mean? Man, he's a transsexual?
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Is it Blind Scott a male? Was he born a male?
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: I'm just sure it's about that.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Well, if you want to get into a deep dive
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: on that, I don't know what to tell you. But
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: if you don't know what that, you can google it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I don't I think that would probably be the way
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Well, you you already met the guy a couple of times, right,
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: I was just sure it's about that he sounds.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I don't care about what people. I just don't. Whatever
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: you're doing, do your own thing, leave me alone, That's
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: what I say. I don't really care. But I've known
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Scott for a long time back in the day, and
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: he's got, you know, things. There's a lot going on.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: It's very complex.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: How about client, I'm just curious about. I don't care.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's to me.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: I was just curious about that. You he met him
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: once twice.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I met him. Money was yeah, Yeah, I met him
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: before and after, and uh yeah, there's a lot going on.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: So there's something daring too, you know. All right, thank you, dandy.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: There's a great day getting in deep there on the
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Sports Up with Blind Scott break down. Man. All right,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: let's say hello to Eenie Meanie miney mall. Let's go
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: to Sean the hood guy, who's here with the tailor.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: We had not heard from shamhood guy. I don't think
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: since the great Pittsburgh Steeler higher. What a bull move
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: that is? That tremendous. I know you're very excited about that.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: All Steeler fans fired up. Way to go there. You
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: got your guy.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: No that we not fired up about that man that
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: right there, that coach that's the same coach as Mike Tomlin.
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: They should have just kept Mike Tomlin anyway, because Eddie.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: Eddie hit me up right after it happened. He told
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: me he didn't like to he didn't like to pick
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: of him taking that coach. He said he didn't like it.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: So we did not satisfy with that man. They could
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: have got somebody better than that. Because it's now out
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: there is this is a young coach team. Now. It's
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: a young man's game now, so they want younger coaches
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: to come in and you know, teach guys the new
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: tricks of the trade. So whatever, gonna go with this guy.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: Man if he if he can't stay there for longer
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: than years and years after because we only had what
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: three coaches, This guy can't stay that that long. Man,
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: if he don't win, they're gonna have to run him
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: out of town. Man, because you know, I really called
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: to tell you where where Ben? Where's your brown paper
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: bag at home?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: What do you what are you talking about? What? Where's
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: my what are you talking to?
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: Playoffs to the Seahawks? Man? Come on, I'm starting a
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: new gang now.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: The brown paper bag. I didn't. I didn't play that.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't play in the game. I know you probably
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you probably thought I played in the game.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: But I had welcome you and the wife one, you know,
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: because you and her friends fans, and she she got
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: mad at me because I made her one. But you know, hey,
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: you got just got to got to hone it, man,
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: because you lost.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Well be fair. I think you know the NFL rigged
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the regular season game you gave, But don't, don't. There's
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: no life. I mean, they gave Seattle two points. They
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: did not get the two points. They just they went
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: to a TV time out. They came back and said, hey,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: we got to bug up our ass. Why don't we
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: just give them two points? And everyone thank you, Everyone
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: stopped on the play and then they gave. And that's
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: why that game was in Seattle. And we all know
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: what a great home field advanage of the Rams have.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: There's no way that the Seahawks would have won in
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: l A. And the Rams, since they've become the Rams
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: in l A again have not lost a home NFC
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: championship game because of the great home field advantage.
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: Well this man, I don't I don't want to see
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: the Patriots win the Super Bowl, because why not. They
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: stopped They stopped us from getting a lot of Super Bowls.
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: Tom Brady was in the way all the time.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Do you really want Sam Darnold to be a super
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Bowl winning quarterback?
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: Come up about to see the Seahawks winn No super Bowl, man,
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: Tom Brady? That was that was long. That was too long.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady was went to Seahawks and Raiders division rivals
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: for years when you were kid. Weren't they in the
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: same division when you were a kid? Come on, right,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: yeah they were. They were in the NFC West when
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: you were or the AFC West when.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: You were somewhere else too, right, Well, yeah, they.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Were in Saint Louis for they were in the NFC
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: East for a long time. The Cardinals.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: Everything changes, though, man, So this I'm telling I'm going
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: with the dark side on this one. I'm not taking
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: the Patriots.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, you just worry about when Mike McCarthy's going
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: to upset you. What what week Mike McCarthy's going to
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: screw everything up week one from week one, it's gonna
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: He's got all the cliches down though, He's got every
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: cliche you could possibly.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: Want that at the press conference and all that. We
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: we're not buying that. We rather see production on the field.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: But he was laying but he had to lay into
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the fact he's from Pittsburgh because that's really the selling point, right,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: So he was like he was really leaning into that.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm a Pittsburgh guy and all that stuff.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: If he was a Pittsburgh guy, you'd have been a
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: Pittsburgh guy coach long time ago. So I guess not all.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Right, Sean, alight, Ben, there it goes Greg, Sean the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: hood guy, big Pittsburgh, the other guy, and there he
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: goes where he goes, only he knows. So what aile
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: weekend it was we had over the weekend. This is
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: not a political show, so we're not going to go
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: down the political highway and political theater and all that. However,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: it does tie into the sports world. So a bunch
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: of emails and documents were released by the Justice Department.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: They released millions of pages of material calling the I
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: guess was the Epstein Transparency Act or something like that.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: So I was minding my own business, and then I
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: saw a couple of NFL owners were corresponding with Epstein.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: But then like Russell Wilson, the Seahawks legend from back
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: in the day is bounced around the NFL. He's a journeyman.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: And this is the plot twist we did not expect
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: in the public trial, if you will, of these unsealed
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: documents from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, is that Russell Wilson,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: who's currently a backup with the Giants, and up on
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: social media to try to clear the air because he
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: was being implicated, say what yeah, for having improper ties
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: to Jeffrey Epstein. Wow, things gotta be kidding, I know.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: So in this massive stockpile of emails, there was a
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen email chain mentioning Russell Wilson's interest in buying
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: a private jet tied to the Epstein assets that was circulating,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: And so Wilson popped on social media and he denied
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: knowledge of the ownership of the plane or any personal connection,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: and he wrote in all caps, he wrote, Nope, absolutely
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: not not today, Satan now. The email was in twenty nineteen,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: when Wilson was still the starting quarterback for you Seattle
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Seahawks and was in a negotiation for a contract extension,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and in the thread, there was communication on behalf of
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Wilson regarding a gulf Stream jet and exploring an option
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: to buy five hundred thousand dollars up front, and then
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: they were going to pay the base price of two
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: point seven million. So how much would you have to
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: spend to clean an Epstein plane? That's the other I mean,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: imagine the things that must have been going on there.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Holy canoi. Anyway, Wilson said, not today, Satan. At least
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: it was only about buying a plane and not about
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: anything else. Well, I said, some random plane broker tried
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: to sell me a plane. I had no idea. Wilson said,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: who's plane? And never bought the plane, never talked or
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: even met the man, Thank god, that's what he said.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Oh I believe him, Russ. You believe Russ? Yes? I
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: mean's is I don't go to I guess I don't
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: know how far down you want to go. But it's
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: like there's a lot of people that Epstein was like
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: friends with, really wealthy people. So pretty much everyone was
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: you know, who's in that circle was connected in one
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: way or another back in those days. Anyway, there's the
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson story. It is the Ben Mahlor Ben Mallor Show,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: not the story, the Ben Mallor Show or story. Yes,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: either one of those things. And time now for the
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: who am I? Game? This is where we pretend to
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: be somebody else. Thus we are calling it to who
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: am I? Game? And we'll get back to the call.
