- 0:31Speaker 1: will go down tinfoil hat conspiracy highway. And how does
- 0:35Speaker 1: Danny Ainge, the big shot there in Utah look claiming
- 0:38Speaker 1: ignorance in the jazz helping to facilitate, helping to crease
- 0:44Speaker 1: the wheels for the Luka Doncik trade. We'll talk about
- 0:47Speaker 1: that as well. It's all coming your way right now here.

- 1:52Speaker 1: ten thousand, So a lead this hour, It's not waste
- 1:55Speaker 1: any time. Here we go to the fallout from the
- 2:00Speaker 1: blockbuster transaction heard round the pro bouncy ball world over
- 2:05Speaker 1: the weekend. Luca my name is Luca, or that guy
- 2:10Speaker 1: drinking whiskey called him something else, but Luka Doncik handed
- 2:14Speaker 1: to the Lakers in a mind bending giveaway by the
- 2:19Speaker 1: Mavres putting the wreck in mav Wreck. The Dallas pro
- 2:23Speaker 1: bouncy Ball Team and Anthony Davis Street closed Davis and
- 2:27Speaker 1: some spare parts and only one draft pick, one draft
- 2:31Speaker 1: pick going to Lakers. So, if you've not heard the
- 2:33Speaker 1: latest on this, it continues to percolate the story he
- 2:38Speaker 1: might maybe you missed it. So we are now told
- 2:41Speaker 1: that the Luca Street closed trade Lucadncik for street closed.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Davis originally included multiple first round draft picks and the Lakers'
- 2:53Speaker 1: latest draft pick, Dalton connect that they were all included
- 2:57Speaker 1: in the original transaction. The trade those said to have
- 3:01Speaker 1: gotten whittled down. There are reports indicating that the Lakers
- 3:07Speaker 1: executive Rob Skinny Jeans Polenka convinced the Mavericks to take less,
- 3:16Speaker 1: saying to the Mavericks says, listen, I'm taking the risk
- 3:19Speaker 1: here Luca. According to the report, Luca has laid out implied.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Luca's an alcoholic and has a weight problem. He's addicted
- 3:28Speaker 1: to food, and he's a drunk. That's what the report indicated.
- 3:33Speaker 1: So that's, you know, it's interesting to think about it.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Wait a minute, the Mavericks of the Mavericks trade this
- 3:39Speaker 1: guy because he can't control his liquor and all that. Now,
- 3:44Speaker 1: So essentially the argument is, and this is the argument
- 3:47Speaker 1: other people are making now, is that the Mavericks tried
- 3:50Speaker 1: to get out in front. Their argument is that Luca
- 3:55Speaker 1: is like Joel and Bead, He's not that interested in playing.
- 4:00Speaker 1: He doesn't take the game seriously. He likes what being
- 4:03Speaker 1: a basketball players about, but he's not a professional. He's
- 4:06Speaker 1: an amateur when it comes to showing up on time,
- 4:09Speaker 1: following the code of the West, doing what has to
- 4:11Speaker 1: be done. So that's the spin that the Mavericks are
- 4:15Speaker 1: putting out on it. So let us discuss the question
- 4:19Speaker 1: thumbs up or thumbs down to the Lakers GM, Rob
- 4:25Speaker 1: Skinny Jeans Polinka convincing the Mavericks to take less for
- 4:31Speaker 1: Luka Donci. That's the argument. It's being tossed out there
- 4:34Speaker 1: that the Lakers somehow used a Jedi mind trick to
- 4:38Speaker 1: convince the Mavericks to take less. So I'm gonna go
- 4:42Speaker 1: thumbs down on this one. I'm going thumbs down. I've
- 4:45Speaker 1: got Honkey Talk, James Bond, and Bruski and we will
- 4:51Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
- 4:55Speaker 1: to make a I Want to get Away weekend. Because
- 4:59Speaker 1: if you're the Dallas Mavericks, you want to get away.
- 5:02Speaker 1: They will be serenaded with booze for the rest of
- 5:06Speaker 1: the season. It is going we'll get ugly in Big D.
- 5:11Speaker 1: But I am going thumbs down. Answer the question whether
- 5:14Speaker 1: or not you believe that Rob Polinka. Rob Polinka convinced
- 5:18Speaker 1: the Mavericks to take less for Luca. I'm going thumbs
- 5:22Speaker 1: down this latest chapter in this and the NBA is
- 5:26Speaker 1: really good at drama. They're not really good at anything
- 5:28Speaker 1: else at this point, but the drama solid it's on point.
- 5:32Speaker 1: So this latest chapter is a Shakespearean like drama if
- 5:36Speaker 1: you will, around the legend building of Rob Polinka. Who
- 5:41Speaker 1: do you think leaked the story that Rob Polinka somehow
- 5:45Speaker 1: convinced the Dallas Mavericks to take less? You think that
- 5:48Speaker 1: was the Mavericks who leaked that? Or do you think
- 5:50Speaker 1: that was Rob Polinka's pr person that leaked that? Hm?
- 5:53Speaker 1: Things that make you go hm, who could it have been?
- 5:57Speaker 1: Who could have possibly have been? Mike God? Rob Polinka
- 6:02Speaker 1: pumping the tires on Rob Polinka to genius levels. Now
- 6:07Speaker 1: you really have to be a sucker to buy that.
- 6:10Speaker 1: We're not buying it. But if you are good for you,
- 6:12Speaker 1: you're a loser. My God. Polinka is the ultimate trust
- 6:17Speaker 1: fun baby in terms of an executive. He got in
- 6:20Speaker 1: good with Genie Buss and now he's a made man
- 6:23Speaker 1: with the Lakers. He had Luca dropped into his lap
- 6:28Speaker 1: at a silent auction. He wasn't even really an auction.
- 6:32Speaker 1: It was like just submit an offer, No offers are rejected.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Just submit an offer and you're the only bidder in
- 6:40Speaker 1: an auction, would mean there's other bidders, but you're the
- 6:43Speaker 1: only one that bid. It was a name your price situation. Now,
- 6:50Speaker 1: of course he wants you to believe that he's some
- 6:54Speaker 1: kind of basketball savant, that he pulled a fast one
- 6:58Speaker 1: on Nikohera, And it just makes me want to puke
- 7:03Speaker 1: in my mouth. The whole situation like this is somehow
- 7:06Speaker 1: And then you look at the reporting. He's like, well,
- 7:08Speaker 1: here's why Dallas traded him? And was that made up?
- 7:13Speaker 1: Or are the Mavericks letting people know. I was like, hey, listen,
- 7:16Speaker 1: this guy's a drunk and he's a fat ass and
- 7:19Speaker 1: that's why we trade it. Is that just being made
- 7:22Speaker 1: up by the media, or is that somebody for the
- 7:24Speaker 1: Mavericks planning that seed in the media. But the Lambeau
- 7:29Speaker 1: leap of faith of you, I'll call it the Lambeau
- 7:31Speaker 1: leap of faith because it does remind me. Been doing
- 7:34Speaker 1: this for a minute, you might remember the cautionary tale
- 7:38Speaker 1: of sports gone Past. Jerry Glanville, old NFL coach. His
- 7:42Speaker 1: most famous line, Jerry Glandville was the NFL stands for
- 7:45Speaker 1: not for long when you make calls like that. But
- 7:48Speaker 1: Glanville famously traded away Brett fharr If he was coaching
- 7:52Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons Hall of Famer Brett Fharv traded him
- 7:56Speaker 1: to Green Bay and then years later took a vic
- 8:00Speaker 1: relap durre a Glanville. He said, the reason that the
- 8:04Speaker 1: Falcons traded Brett Farv to Green Bay was because he
- 8:07Speaker 1: could not get far of sober. He was a drunk
- 8:11Speaker 1: in Atlanta. He had substance abuse issues, so they traded
- 8:15Speaker 1: him Landville. He pat himself on the back. I remember this.
- 8:17Speaker 1: About fifteen years ago, Glanville had an interview and he
- 8:20Speaker 1: patted himself on the back. He said, listen, we traded
- 8:24Speaker 1: him to a place where the only thing to do
- 8:27Speaker 1: at nine o'clock is to go to Chili Joe's and
- 8:30Speaker 1: you can either get it with onions or without onions,
- 8:33Speaker 1: and that's it, and those are your only options. And
- 8:36Speaker 1: so but this is the antithesis of that. This is
- 8:40Speaker 1: not This is not that. I mean, if this reporting
- 8:44Speaker 1: is true, and the Mavericks tried to sober up Luca
- 8:48Speaker 1: and he's got a drinking problem, but they sent Luca
- 8:52Speaker 1: to a city where the Honky Taunt never closes. They
- 8:58Speaker 1: have the bars, but then after that they have the
- 9:00Speaker 1: after parties in the Hollywood Hills that do not stop.
- 9:04Speaker 1: They do not stop. So there's some funny business going
- 9:08Speaker 1: on with this story. Now, page two, what is your
- 9:12Speaker 1: favorite conspiracy theory that has made the rounds with the
- 9:17Speaker 1: lucidotic trade? And I'll go first here and if you've
- 9:20Speaker 1: not been following along, there are many of them. I'll
- 9:23Speaker 1: give you the thumbnail recap of some of my favorites.
- 9:27Speaker 1: The Adelson group that owns the Mavericks is trying to
- 9:33Speaker 1: upset the fan base the customers so much that they
- 9:36Speaker 1: eventually relocate the team to Las Vegas so they can
- 9:41Speaker 1: they own a lot of property. They're big shots in
- 9:43Speaker 1: Vegas because of gambling, so they want the Mavericks to
- 9:46Speaker 1: be the NBA team that goes. In order to do that,
- 9:49Speaker 1: they have to destroy the franchise and put little pieces
- 9:55Speaker 1: of asbestos all over the franchise and then eventually they'll
- 9:58Speaker 1: be able to get rid of that and move it
- 9:59Speaker 1: to to Vegas. So that's out there. There's the Adam
- 10:04Speaker 1: Silver directed this to happen because the NBA is such
- 10:09Speaker 1: a crappy product. Nobody cares about Oklahoma City and Cleveland,
- 10:12Speaker 1: and it's killing the product that the teams that are
- 10:16Speaker 1: the top teams are Cleveland and Okay. See, it's just
- 10:19Speaker 1: bad for business. So the Lakers are pretty boring. So
- 10:23Speaker 1: why don't you shake it off and we'll make sure
- 10:25Speaker 1: Luca goes to LA. Don't even offer him to any
- 10:28Speaker 1: other team because he might have ended up in Oklahoma
- 10:31Speaker 1: City and that would have been bad. So just that's it.
- 10:33Speaker 1: So it was all manipulated by the League office, the association.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Decent conspiracy theory. But my favorite, my new favorite today,
- 10:44Speaker 1: ask me tomorrow. I have a new favorite. But my
- 10:46Speaker 1: new favorite, Lukeka, my name is Luca. My new favorite
- 10:50Speaker 1: conspiracy here is that the Mavericks GM Nico Harrison is
- 10:58Speaker 1: James Bond and double O seven James Bond. What do
- 11:03Speaker 1: I mean by that he's a secret double agent provocateur.
- 11:08Speaker 1: That Nico Harrison is pretending to be the executive running
- 11:12Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks, trying to win in Dallas, but he
- 11:16Speaker 1: is working as a James Bond double agent. You see,
- 11:20Speaker 1: you can take the boy out of Nike, but you
- 11:22Speaker 1: can't take the Nike out of the boy and for
- 11:26Speaker 1: nineteen years working his way up. Nico Harrison was a
- 11:31Speaker 1: Nike executive. And if you look at Luka Doncik a
- 11:37Speaker 1: proud the Nike guy. If you look at Luca, they
- 11:41Speaker 1: need to sell shoes. You're gonna sell more shoes with
- 11:43Speaker 1: the Mavericks. You're gonna sell more shoes with the Lakers.
- 11:49Speaker 1: These shoe magnets they directed. The conspiracy is that Nico
- 11:53Speaker 1: Harrison was directed by Nike to trade Luca, but only
- 11:57Speaker 1: to Los Angeles. That's it, that's all. And he did it.
- 12:03Speaker 1: And so when he gets fired by the Mavericks for
- 12:06Speaker 1: doing this, he will just go back to Nike and
- 12:08Speaker 1: he doesn't care because they'll pay him a couple million
- 12:11Speaker 1: a year and it'll work for Nike. Decent conspiracy, all right, now,
- 12:17Speaker 1: final point from the files of the Bazaar. The files
- 12:22Speaker 1: of the Bazaar on the Ben Malor show, you Taw
- 12:25Speaker 1: Jazz president and former nemesis of the Lakers, a Celtic legend,
- 12:31Speaker 1: Danny Inge is do you see this? So if you
- 12:35Speaker 1: saw it, you're laughing right now because you know where
- 12:37Speaker 1: I'm going. So the story is that Danny Ainge had
- 12:41Speaker 1: no idea he was totally in the dark, that he
- 12:45Speaker 1: was helping to facilitate Luka Doncik going to Los Angeles.
- 12:52Speaker 1: That remember, the only way this works is if the
- 12:54Speaker 1: Jazz are the stool pigeons and they facilitate the trade
- 13:00Speaker 1: because they needed that third wheel. They needed that third
- 13:04Speaker 1: wheel to make this happen. And the Utah basketball team
- 13:08Speaker 1: did it. The boys in Salt Lakes said yeah, we'll
- 13:11Speaker 1: help you out. Sure, why not? So the reporting is
- 13:14Speaker 1: that Danny Ainge had had no idea. He's essentially claiming
- 13:18Speaker 1: ignorance until about thirty minutes before the trade was finalized,
- 13:22Speaker 1: that he was helping to make this happen. So how
- 13:25Speaker 1: does Danny Inge look with this over the top claim
- 13:31Speaker 1: from people around the Jazz that he was ignorant of
- 13:35Speaker 1: what he was doing and helping to be an accomplice
- 13:40Speaker 1: to the giveaway of Luka Dancik from Dallas to Lakers.
- 13:45Speaker 1: So Danny, I'll tell you, he looks. He looks like
- 13:48Speaker 1: he's having a bruskie. He's at a local watering hole.
- 13:51Speaker 1: The watering hole is named the Village Idiot, and he's
- 13:54Speaker 1: the mascot of the watering hole. Like, come on, I
- 13:59Speaker 1: understand you're all to get out of this. It looks
- 14:01Speaker 1: bad for the Jazz, right the Jazz. Lucas in his
- 14:04Speaker 1: mid twenties, So assuming he's not actually an alcoholic and
- 14:08Speaker 1: he needs to go to a fat farm, that's he's
- 14:11Speaker 1: not that bad. The Lakers will be okay with Luca
- 14:14Speaker 1: for a few years. And the Utah Jazz, who are
- 14:16Speaker 1: just you know, treading waters, playing tiddley Winks as they
- 14:22Speaker 1: waste time. I don't know what they're doing. I have
- 14:24Speaker 1: no idea what they're doing. The Utah Jaz just collecting
- 14:26Speaker 1: draft picks for a rainy day. Just collecting a lot
- 14:29Speaker 1: of draft picks is what they're doing. It's ridiculous. But
- 14:32Speaker 1: Danny anch does look like he's He's the mascot of
- 14:34Speaker 1: the watering hole known as the Village Idiot pub Man.
- 14:39Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people who love to tell
- 14:43Speaker 1: you how smart they are most of the time and
- 14:46Speaker 1: are very braggadocious about what they know and high basketball IQ.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Those people are claiming ignorance when it comes to this
- 14:55Speaker 1: getting the getting the Hey, I'm not my fault. I
- 14:59Speaker 1: didn't know. I had no idea. What are you talking about.
- 15:01Speaker 1: It's getting sketchier and sketchier by the minute, sketchier and
- 15:05Speaker 1: sketchier by the minute. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

- 18:10Speaker 1: Ryan writes in, says, seeing Luca having his beer taken
- 18:14Speaker 1: out of his hand reminds me of your mentor Hack
- 18:17Speaker 1: saw Lee Hamilton saying hold my beer? How about down
- 18:22Speaker 1: a firefighter? That was a great outtake from a Lee Hamilton.
- 18:27Speaker 1: When I was in San Diego, my mentor Lee Hamilton,
- 18:30Speaker 1: he did remotes every Monday, and for a while it
- 18:33Speaker 1: was from Trophies, which I don't think even exists anymore.
- 18:36Speaker 1: This sports bar in San Diego, and he was recording
- 18:40Speaker 1: some commercials and he's a down at firefighter. It was
- 18:44Speaker 1: hilarious played that for a long time. Bozo, the district
- 18:48Speaker 1: attorney writes in, says, hey, Ben, I don't buy that
- 18:51Speaker 1: story about Luca. If he was really a fat ass trunk,
- 18:56Speaker 1: he'd be working in radio. But I'm bumped. It's a
- 19:01Speaker 1: good point. If you want to see a collection of
- 19:03Speaker 1: fat people who are alcoholics, go to New Orleans right now.
- 19:06Speaker 1: They're all over the streets. It's an eye opening experience.
- 19:14Speaker 1: What's up, boy? Yeah, guys doing the morning show who
- 19:18Speaker 1: are up all night and do not believe in sleeping.
- 19:20Speaker 1: They just say, you don't even need hotel. I don't
- 19:22Speaker 1: even know why I get hotel rooms. Just you know,
- 19:24Speaker 1: they're out all night and living there their greatest life.
- 19:27Speaker 1: There was a funny line I saw from a coach
- 19:30Speaker 1: of all people at the at the the Super Bowl,
- 19:34Speaker 1: Matt Naggi, who is a offensive assistant for the Kansas
- 19:39Speaker 1: City Chiefs, and he was asked as he was there
- 19:42Speaker 1: wandering around, somebody actually put a microphone in his face
- 19:45Speaker 1: and said, hey, Matt used to coach the Chicago Bears.
- 19:48Speaker 1: Any advice to Ben Johnson? And so Matt, not missing
- 19:54Speaker 1: a beat, he actually had a successful time in Chicago
- 19:57Speaker 1: with Mitch Trubisky. Mitche Bisky was the man's quarterback. Anyway,
- 20:05Speaker 1: Matt Naggi said his advice to Ben Johnson was win
- 20:10Speaker 1: and beat the packers. Drop Mike, drop Mike moment right there,
- 20:15Speaker 1: just drop the mic, walk away. That's it, and that's
- 20:22Speaker 1: that's about right. That's about right. Ben Johnson the flavor
- 20:26Speaker 1: of the month in the NFL. Everyone loves them Ben Johnson.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Right now. We'll see how that works out when he
- 20:32Speaker 1: has to do it on his own. Yes, legally blind
- 20:35Speaker 1: Christopher writes in from Parts Unknown, He says, trying to

- 21:51Speaker 3: This is Angry Bill.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Loive me this. It's Angry Bill. You're calling up early
- 21:56Speaker 1: angry Bill.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Yeah, well, just see someone Clark more. I took like, uh,
- 22:03Speaker 3: currently Clark could and wrapped Taylor Swift in her body
- 22:06Speaker 3: in one of those like eronic co Cone art things
- 22:09Speaker 3: that they playing.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Well, you sound you sound angry, Bill. You sound different.
- 22:14Speaker 1: You sound different ry.
- 22:16Speaker 3: From you know I did. I did some times in prison.
- 22:20Speaker 3: I brought a note to the to the bank and
- 22:22Speaker 3: I said give me all your money. And they said
- 22:24Speaker 3: that this guy had down to them put him in
- 22:26Speaker 3: the state hospital.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right, Well you said kind of like
- 22:30Speaker 1: blind Scott to me. I don't know. It seems odd
- 22:33Speaker 1: that you sound very similar to blind Scott. I don't
- 22:35Speaker 1: know why that would be.
- 22:36Speaker 3: And now this is angry. But a woman hasn't seen
- 22:39Speaker 3: my junk in about a hundred years.
- 22:45Speaker 1: I took up people where women at It's not there apparently,
- 22:51Speaker 1: I guess yes. Man, all right, well, thank you, Angry Bill.
- 22:56Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I'm so glad we got that on
- 22:58Speaker 1: Angry Builder, the Pride of Nutley, New Jersey. So's Andy
- 23:02Speaker 1: real something going on that he needs a throat lozenge
- 23:05Speaker 1: or something like that. Is Andy Reid gonna retire after
- 23:08Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Well, according to the owner of the Chiefs,
- 23:12Speaker 1: and these people never lie, they never lie. The owner
- 23:18Speaker 1: of the Chiefs has confirmed that Andy Reid will not
- 23:20Speaker 1: retire after the Super Bowl. He says, I know how
- 23:25Speaker 1: much fun Andy is having now. I would like to
- 23:29Speaker 1: address this because it is a popular narrative by popular
- 23:33Speaker 1: people in these sports media. They all go to the
- 23:35Speaker 1: same clown college to get into sports media. It's a
- 23:38Speaker 1: little different now because of the bloggers, fear and social
- 23:41Speaker 1: media and all that. However, the win a championship and
- 23:48Speaker 1: fade away and celebrate and retire, which is out of
- 23:53Speaker 1: a Disney sports movie. It's like, you win the championship,
- 23:57Speaker 1: the crowd goes wild, the confetti comes down, you celebrate
- 24:01Speaker 1: with champagne, and then you go off in to never
- 24:05Speaker 1: never land and that's it. However, like, if you're Andy Reid,
- 24:11Speaker 1: why would you retire? You would never? You can be
- 24:13Speaker 1: the all time winning his coach, And it's not even
- 24:16Speaker 1: about like having fun, which is nice, but the job's
- 24:20Speaker 1: an easy job, it isn't you know? Andy's past the
- 24:24Speaker 1: retirement age. Andy is what is he's sixty six years
- 24:30Speaker 1: old or something like that. Most people retire younger than that,
- 24:34Speaker 1: but he's sixty six. He has the record, he's winning
- 24:39Speaker 1: his coach in Eagles history and Chief's history, and he's
- 24:44Speaker 1: right there bird dogging the all time wins record held
- 24:50Speaker 1: by Don Shula, and he's chasing Bill Belichick and George
- 24:55Speaker 1: Hallis and Don Shula, the biggest names in the NFL.
- 24:58Speaker 1: And as long as mahomes healthy and there's no scandal
- 25:01Speaker 1: and he's able to play, there's no reason to think
- 25:05Speaker 1: that this is going to end anytime soon in Kansas City.
- 25:09Speaker 1: So can Andy Reid stay healthy? That's obviously the big thing,
- 25:13Speaker 1: because you get to his age, he's a bigger guy.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Can you keep the grim reaper of health problems away
- 25:19Speaker 1: and then continue on? Well, I can play one on
- 25:22Speaker 1: the radio. And if he can do that, Mahomes is
- 25:26Speaker 1: under contract through twenty thirty one. Now, I've been told
- 25:28Speaker 1: by my boots on the ground in Kansas City that
- 25:31Speaker 1: he's gonna get multiple reworked contracts before he's done with
- 25:37Speaker 1: the Chiefs, so he'd probably be there longer, long after
- 25:40Speaker 1: twenty thirty one. He signed that forever contract. But if
- 25:44Speaker 1: you're called your tire life, you have a chance to
- 25:46Speaker 1: win minimum eleven games every year, Like eleven and six
- 25:50Speaker 1: is the floor for Andy Reid. So there's no re
- 25:55Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Go sit and danna point,
- 25:57Speaker 1: you know, stare at the ocean all day. He doesn't
- 25:59Speaker 1: seem like he's afer. He's an eater. We know he
- 26:02Speaker 1: likes to eat. But come on, and what about my friend,
- 26:05Speaker 1: the Andy Reid impersonator. What about that guy? That guy
- 26:08Speaker 1: would lose his job if Andy Reid steps away from
- 26:10Speaker 1: the NFL. Got to keep going. But these are the
- 26:13Speaker 1: questions that are being asked. There was also Travis Kelcey
- 26:18Speaker 1: who said he's essentially like McDonald's. He was asked if
- 26:20Speaker 1: he has any plans on retiring, did anyone expect Travis
- 26:25Speaker 1: Kelsey said, yeah, yeah, I think I'm gonna I think
- 26:28Speaker 1: I'm gonna hang it up. Yeah, I did actually think that. No,
- 26:32Speaker 1: but for him to admit it, why would you admit
- 26:34Speaker 1: that even if you're gonna do it to be an actor? Now,
- 26:36Speaker 1: So by saying I'm done with this commitment, I'm giving
- 26:39Speaker 1: myself to theater. No, I said. My point is, even
- 26:44Speaker 1: if he's going to retire, why would you announce you're
- 26:46Speaker 1: going to retire. Wouldn't you just retire? Wouldn't that the
- 26:48Speaker 1: moment be bigger after the Super Bowl? Right? They win
- 26:52Speaker 1: the championship and all that, and then he says, I
- 26:56Speaker 1: said I'm done and rides off in a corvette with Taylor.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Swift says, I'm out of here.
- 27:01Speaker 4: They lived happily ever after for.
- 27:03Speaker 1: A couple of years. So they get divorced, you know,
- 27:05Speaker 1: a couple of years and then you can go to
- 27:06Speaker 1: the divorce court and all that. What movie you're watching?
- 27:10Speaker 1: You guys got movies on here? It looks like the
- 27:13Speaker 1: part of that. It looked like the universal set, And
- 27:16Speaker 1: I've walked around on I don't know what movie this
- 27:17Speaker 1: is the one on the bottom left. I don't know.
- 27:20Speaker 1: I have different TVs in here, But do you have
- 27:21Speaker 1: you have a movie on? Does an there's a lot
- 27:23Speaker 1: of shooting going on.
- 27:24Speaker 3: In the movie.
- 27:24Speaker 1: I don't know which one that is.
- 27:25Speaker 4: Hold On, hold On, Greece is on the top one
- 27:27Speaker 4: we have, Grease.
- 27:28Speaker 1: I'm not looking at that one. You had the one
- 27:30Speaker 1: with the shooting my peripheral vision. I got it in
- 27:34Speaker 1: my peripheral vision. Oh, London has fallen? Is that what
- 27:38Speaker 1: it is? Yeah, I don't know what that is. It
- 27:40Speaker 1: just looked for that. I've never heard of that either.
- 27:43Speaker 1: I have no idea, never heard of that.
- 27:46Speaker 4: It's one of the uh fallen. You know, there's a
- 27:50Speaker 4: whole bunch of them. The Olympus has fallen as one
- 27:52Speaker 4: of them.
- 27:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
- 27:56Speaker 4: I just I love a good sci fi movie, though, Bat,
- 27:58Speaker 4: you're all about the sci fi.
- 27:59Speaker 2: I'm getting head the fog.
- 28:03Speaker 1: You have Star Star Wars or Star Trek.
- 28:06Speaker 4: Technically for sci fi, I would have to be Star Trek.
- 28:09Speaker 1: It's a bad answer. It's my mortal enemy. But that's
- 28:12Speaker 1: what they always played on sci Fi. No but Captain
- 28:16Speaker 1: Captain Kirk Cook Cook, Captain Kirk totally the enemy of
- 28:23Speaker 1: the Mallard militia. Way before you were on the show Arena,
- 28:26Speaker 1: we went to war with Captain Kirk was he on
- 28:29Speaker 1: the show indirectly, He was very much part of the show.
- 28:32Speaker 1: He was spats with Shats one of the great eras
- 28:35Speaker 1: in the history of the show. We battled the Mallard Militia.
- 28:38Speaker 1: Battled William Shatner. Wow. Yeah. He was on a trans
- 28:42Speaker 1: continental flight to Germany and was furiously trying to block
- 28:47Speaker 1: members of the Mallard militia and he started accidentally following
- 28:51Speaker 1: members of the militia. This story, yeah, yeah, it was
- 28:54Speaker 1: a famous story. So I have a mutual friend with
- 28:57Speaker 1: William Shatner, this guy named Freer, and so fred Fred decided,
- 29:03Speaker 1: you know, he would interact. He wanted me and I
- 29:05Speaker 1: guess Shatner to be buddies. I get, I don't know,
- 29:08Speaker 1: but he tagged us in certain things on social media.
- 29:10Speaker 1: So Shatner, I've been getting replies from Shatner, right, So
- 29:13Speaker 1: then I started sending Shatner messages and he's getting annoyed, right,
- 29:17Speaker 1: He's getting annoyed. And then I had I deputized the
- 29:20Speaker 1: mal Or Militia to say hello to Shatner, and it
- 29:24Speaker 1: got really heated between us, and then he said checkmate,
- 29:27Speaker 1: and he blocked me. And then there was a celebrity
- 29:30Speaker 1: auction because he's he does a bunch of horse stuff
- 29:33Speaker 1: over in Burbank, so he's got like a horse charity
- 29:36Speaker 1: thing and a listener. How much was it five hundred
- 29:40Speaker 1: one thousand dollars? Somebody paid like either five hundred one
- 29:43Speaker 1: thousand dollars to have him unblock me on on social
- 29:47Speaker 1: media at an auction. But there was one night in particular,
- 29:51Speaker 1: Shatner was on a trans continental flight to Germany. It
- 29:55Speaker 1: was like his birthday or something like that. He was
- 29:57Speaker 1: going to some comic book convention in Germany. He was
- 30:00Speaker 1: he was listening. He wasn't listening, but he was on
- 30:02Speaker 1: social media and we were having people say hello to him.
- 30:06Speaker 1: And he was really getting upset as the night was
- 30:08Speaker 1: going on because he didn't he didn't know how to
- 30:11Speaker 1: like he was trying to block everybody, and he started
- 30:12Speaker 1: following people. I'm getting screenshots from like the guys working
- 30:16Speaker 1: at the seven to eleven or whatever. The Shatner's following
- 30:20Speaker 1: me right now on social media. Oh my god. It
- 30:23Speaker 1: was pretty It was pretty funny. It was a fun,
- 30:26Speaker 1: fun time. On the show, ferk Dog says, can we
- 30:29Speaker 1: get a live play by play of the movie? Ben
- 30:34Speaker 1: I just the only reason I brought it up. But
- 30:36Speaker 1: I'm not looking at it. It's it's in the background.
- 30:39Speaker 1: But in my peripheral vision it looked one of the
- 30:41Speaker 1: scenes in the movie. And maybe it wasn't, but it
- 30:44Speaker 1: looked like one of the sets that I walked on
- 30:46Speaker 1: the other day, and I was like, oh, it kind
- 30:47Speaker 1: of looks familiar, like I feel like I've been there,
- 30:50Speaker 1: but maybe not. Maybe it was just, you know, just coincidence.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Dejah vu, Ben, they call it deja vu, serendipity, serendipitous moment,
- 30:58Speaker 1: serendipitous shrugdreads and says that it may have been Angry

- 31:06Speaker 1: call by Angry Bill. Yeah, well, he'll call up later.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Have no idea. Joe the ghost Hunter says, Angry Bill

- 36:11Speaker 1: The late Ravens wide receiver, special teams player Jacobe Jones
- 36:16Speaker 1: and Blank share the Super Bowl record for the most
- 36:18Speaker 1: touchdowns on plays of fifty or more yards in one game.
- 36:22Speaker 1: Joe Montana Joel Montana. Wow, that's an amazing answer, showing
- 36:26Speaker 1: a great depth of football knowledge. That is incorrect. The
- 36:30Speaker 1: correct answer is Ricky Sanders and the old Washington Redskins
- 36:35Speaker 1: against the Broncos in Super Bowl twenty two. And there's
- 36:41Speaker 1: a famous SoundBite when the Redskins visited the White House
- 36:45Speaker 1: and it was Ronald Reagan's White House and President Reagan's
- 36:48Speaker 1: though he tried to throw the ball, he was fing around.
- 36:52Speaker 1: Where's Ricky Sanders run? Ricky run? I remember it was
- 36:55Speaker 1: pretty funny, something along those lines. I don't remember exactly
- 36:58Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing. So don't hold me to it. Here we go,
- 37:00Speaker 1: Here we go, Mallard, how about that?
- 37:03Speaker 2: To the third degree?
- 37:06Speaker 1: This is one big fan gets grilled Kubler.
- 37:10Speaker 4: It was announced over the weekend that Chip Kelly will
- 37:13Speaker 4: return to the NFL as the offensive coordinator for the
- 37:15Speaker 4: Las Vegas Raiders. Ben, do you think Loue will eventually
- 37:18Speaker 4: see Chip Kelly back in a head coaching position.
- 37:21Speaker 1: No, because he does not want to be a head
- 37:23Speaker 1: coach in college unless it's at one of the diamond
- 37:26Speaker 1: schools in the Big Ten or the SEC. He doesn't
- 37:29Speaker 1: want to go to place like UCLA where they don't
- 37:30Speaker 1: care about football and all that. And the other problem
- 37:33Speaker 1: is Chip is too old. He's sixty one. He's a
- 37:36Speaker 1: football lifer. You look at where he has coached around
- 37:40Speaker 1: the United States. He started at Columbia in nineteen ninety.
- 37:43Speaker 1: He's been to New Hampshire, John Hopkins, Oregon, the Eagles,
- 37:49Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, UCLA, Ohio State. Now he's with
- 37:52Speaker 1: the Raiders. The guys moves around every couple of years.
- 37:54Speaker 1: He's a football vagabond. But his days as a head
- 37:57Speaker 1: coach over done. He will not be other than an
- 38:00Speaker 1: interim coach. He's not gonna be a head coach again.
- 38:02Speaker 4: Next, TMZ caught up with Rams legend Isaac Bruce, who
- 38:05Speaker 4: told him that he is sure that Tory Holt will
- 38:08Speaker 4: be getting a call to join him in the Hall
- 38:09Speaker 4: of Fame this week. Ben, do you think Holt makes
- 38:11Speaker 4: the cut?
- 38:12Speaker 1: He's borderline. I was not a fan of the Saint
- 38:14Speaker 1: Louis Rams. I was a fan of the La Rams.
- 38:16Speaker 1: I still am, but the Tory Holt borderline. He was
- 38:18Speaker 1: only in All Pro once, although he did win the
- 38:21Speaker 1: Super Bowl. He did end up on an All Decade team,
- 38:24Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. However, you can certainly tell the
- 38:28Speaker 1: story of the NFL without mentioning Tory Holt's name. He
- 38:31Speaker 1: was good. He was part of that greatest show on turf,
- 38:33Speaker 1: But that greatest show on turf should have been much
- 38:34Speaker 1: better for a longer period of time than they were.
- 38:37Speaker 1: They were like one hit wonders there.
- 38:39Speaker 4: Next, former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs spoke about the
- 38:42Speaker 4: Super Bowl and said, while it would be cool to
- 38:44Speaker 4: see Kansasity achieve a three peat, that the Tom Brady
- 38:47Speaker 4: dynasty is still better.
