Hour 2 - The Results Are In · The Ben Maller Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Dingdo. It's our number two. Our number two is ready
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for you. And we asked the question why why did
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski go with Joe Flacco as QB
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: number one? Also what is the text message from Stefanski
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to Brown's rookie Shader Sanders and Dylan Gabriel on not
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: not getting QB one's status they go with the grizzled veteran.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Also toss up question Zaban Howard to the Colts or
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Matthew Judon to the Dolphins, who is more likely to
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: make some noise in twenty twenty five. We'll go down
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: that road as well. And here it is our number two.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: The results are in well come. In the beginning of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: another hour of The Bend Mal Show, we are in
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the air every where, Bessies, as we get a seat
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: at the table coast to coast, border to border and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: beyond on the vast and impeccably powerful microphones of fsre
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: ammating live from the trail as we leave behind audio
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: chemtrails from the Fox Sports Radio studios, much to the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: dismay of Canuckstruck. That's right, canuck Struck, a fan of
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the show, and this portion of the Ben Mather Show,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: made possible by our friends at tire Iraq. For over
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: fast and free back by free road hazard protection with
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire raq dot
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Com the way tire buying should be. And we are
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: back at it again, and our lead hour is from
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the Factory of Sadness in Cleveland, Ohio. That's right, we
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: go where the news of the day takes us. And
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: we had three teams, three teams that had quarterback drama,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: O rama, drama, O rama. And one of them has
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: announced their QB one and that would be the Cleveland
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: football team. If you somehow missed this because pay attention
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to the Browns, perhaps you missed it. The Browns have
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: named We've learned Joe Flaco. That's right, as old as
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a dinosaur, Joe Flaco as the starting quarterback in Week
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: number one against the Bengals. Now, much to the annoyance
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of the fan boys, the Cleveland Officionatos, who are very
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: upset by this. I remember a couple years ago Joe
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Flacco was the flavor of the month. It was anyone,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: anyone other than Deshaun Watson.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Flacco now his old news, but he has beaten out
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett hard to believe, and rookies Shader Sanders and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel. But Sanders look so good in those little
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: practice games. Now. Flacco, when he played for the Browns
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty three, somehow led the team to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a playoff appearance and it didn't have great individual statistics
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in five starts. He did win the AP Comeback Player
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: of the Year award, which upset many people. They wanted
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin, who the guy that almost croaked on the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: field for the Bills. They wanted him to win Comeback
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Player of the Year, but it was Joe Flacco. Now.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Last season playing for the Horseshoes with the Colts, Flacco
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: again had pretty middling numbers. You'll give you twelve touchdowns
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and seven interceptions and he'll play really well for one
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: game or a half and then disappear for the next
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: half or the next couple of games. So let us
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: discuss the question why why did the brown coach Kevin
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Stefanski go with Joe Flacco as QB one. So my observations,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I've got Tuxedo, Alan Wrench, and Best Buy, and we'll
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to make some chow. That's right, we're gonna make some chow.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So number one my first answer, and I'm the first
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: answer is always the top answer. The answer I'm going with,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I want to see if you agree or disagree, is
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it starts with a d decorum, right, football decorm. That's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the ticket. You follow the protocol. When in doubt, you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: go buy the book. When in doubt, you go by
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the way. So in my head, Stefanski's looking at the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: quarterback depth chart. He says, well, this guy sucks. That
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: guy blows, that guy's garbage, and that guy's trash. But
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I got to name a starterist. So what do you do?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: What do you do? You follow the protocol, Kevin Stefanski,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it's the safe pick. If Flaco's sucks, you say, I
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: was just going by the book. I was just going
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: by the book. That's it. You're not reinventing anything here.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: You're just polishing the hupcap. You're not inventing the wheel.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: The wheel has already been invented. You're just polishing the hupcap.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: That's it now. Joe Flacco has more mileage at this
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: point than a rusted out nineteen ninety four tourus a
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: lot of miles and a lot of rust. It's been
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: left outside, it hasn't been parked in the garage. There's
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: a lot going on. Here. Is the guy you start
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: when you want to give the illusion you're a competent
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: franchise right that you're you're actually competent, but you're not
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: committing to the future. You're worried about now. You're living
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: in the moment, and it's it's kind of like if
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you put on a tuxedo to have a nice frozen dinner.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have a nice microwave dinner, but you're getting
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: all dressed up here. Listen, I can go to a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: five star restaurant where a tuxiedo. I can sit here
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and eat my one pound of fish day and the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: potato on the side there. I can do that. And
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: so that is what they're doing here. They're like, well, listen,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get all dressed up. This is a Super
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Bowl champion quarterback. Joe Flacco. The single greatest postseason run
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: of my Lifetime was Joe Flacco for the Baltimore Ravens.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: It'll never be matched. Well, I'm around and Joe Flacco
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: did it. Uh, and he got paid a lot of
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: money and then he stole that money and that was it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: But the TV dinner thing as well, it looks good, right,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: you run in, the tuxedo, looks good, the food looks good,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and then you start eating in it, it's like, well, it's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a little robbery. That's not very good and all that stuff.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: So they're going with the VHS option. The Browns are saying, well,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: go VHS. I know everyone's doing streaming, but we like
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: that old school that click. You know, when you put
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the VHS tape you're old enough to remember VHS to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you put that in. Thathing locks in there and you're like,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I'm in, I got a movie. I got a movie,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and that's it. Now. The streaming, of course, you dependent
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: on the Wi Fi and all that stuff es He outdated. Absolutely,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it still occasionally works, much like a VCR. Occasionally it'll
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: still work. And he's the analog quarterback in a digital league.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And that's what Joe Flacco is. And you're going with
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that the way I approached this. Now, I am not
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a Cleveland brown fan. I was for one year. I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: was forced. I switched teams every year, and you idiots
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: voted me a Cleveland Browns fan for one year. So
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I do have some Browns merch at the Malor Mansion.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Although I did. I lost the one piece of Browns
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: merch I wish I had. I cannot find it. Somebody
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: sent me. They thought it was the ugliest Cleveland brown
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: hat and it had the Brown's Elf mascot on it,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and I thought it was so ugly. It was good. Look.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I actually wore that, and I wore it so much.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I never lose hats, and I I cannot find the hat.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to it. It was like
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: his orange hat and it had these ugly brown leprechaun
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the mascot. But I had, I had Brown's jersey. I've
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: had all this stuff, and all this stuff anyway, back
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to the story. So I look at this, I'll be
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Benny bright Side. I am Benny bright Side. The Browns
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: are using these first couple of games of the regular
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: season as a showcase. That's what they're doing. And Flacco
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: is not The Browns quarterback. He is the available asset
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns. They'll try him out there and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: they'll let him sling the duke pass the football around
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: for the first three or four weeks of the season,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and they're just gonna wait and there'll be some voodoo
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: bugaloo that'll pop up. And not that you want Mahomes
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to twist an ankle or Josh Allen to get a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: case of the yips, or Lamar Jackson to pull a
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: hammy and have it go whammy. You don't want any
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of that. However, if any of that does happen, Boom
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: goes the dynamite. Boom goes the dynamite, and then you
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: look at I need a starter and this let me
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: get a classic. I want a vintage. I want a
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: stratocaster at a pawn shop. That's Joe Flacco. I want
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the stratocaster from the pod shop. Boom, Joe Flacco. Done, done, undone, done,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: all right now, Page two. So what is the text message,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: if you will, What is the text for Brown's rookie
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Shadur Sanders and Dylan Gabriel. What is the message the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Browns are sending for them not getting the starting job
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and being who knows third four string. So Kevin Stevanski
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: is sending the text message. The text message that he
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is sending is that hey said, listen, Shadur Sanders, Dylan Gabriel.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: We don't do on the job training, not right now.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: We're not into that. That's not what we're going for.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: This is not a some kind of school. It's not
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a monassory school in the it's the AFC North and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: we're not willing to give the keys to one of
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you rookies. So you're sorry. That's it. We're not doing it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: So Sanders and Gabriel they're still in the I Kia
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: phase of their careers. Now what does that mean. That
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: means some of you believe there is endless hope because
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you think every young player is going to be great.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: You do you tell me that when I rip prospects,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you said, oh my god, you were so wrong. The
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: two things that I get ripped apart most for are
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I would trade every draft pick. I would be like,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: there's this guy named Mike Ditka. You don't know who
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that is, but he used to coach the football team
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: in Chicago, and then he coached the team in New Orleans.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: He traded all of his draft picks one year to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: get this running back named Ricky Williams who loved weed
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: more than football, which was a problem, but they went
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: for and I had no problem with that. I was like,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: trade all the picks. So I get ripped for that. Well,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: you know what are you doing? I prospect is a suspect.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: That's my go to. And also I get ripped for
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a pointing out there is no such thing as momentum.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: People get very upset, very upset because they've been raised
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: on Uncle Moe. And I say, well, uncle Moe lives
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey. He used to live in Brooklyn, and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Uncle Moe moved from Brooklyn to New Jersey, so I
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: know uncle Mah. I have not met Uncle Moe, but
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Uncle Mo is that's a person. That's not That's not
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: a thing. Anyway, get back to the point. So Sanders
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and Gabriel, the rookies, they're in the IKEA phase of
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: their careers. What does that mean. There's a lot of
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: hope and all that stuff, but you need an Alan wrench.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: You need an Alan wrench, and you got to work
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: your way through the Swedish instructions because for some reason
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: they didn't include the English instructions, so you've got to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: read the Swedish instructions to make it all work. And
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Stefansk is saying, well, we're kNN a build for the future,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: but you want these guys to watch. We want them
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to observe what is going on and all that stuff.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And right now we're going with not the Ikea sofa.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: We're going with the sofa that we got from the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: thrift store, the Joe Flacco sofa from the thrift store.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: It's not about winning. It's more about optics and doing
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do. As we mentioned the word protocol,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you're following the protocol. It's also about those I believe showcasing.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: This is the mannequin in the window and you're putting
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Joe Flacco out there and you're like, all right, I'm
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: out there, and he's a relic and maybe he'll be
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: okay for a couple of games and all that. And
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: he's also been to more quarterback meetings Joe Flacco than
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Shadura Sanders has college starts by a country mile. And
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: he's not flashy, he's not good, he's not fast. However,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: he's familiar. It's kind of like that as you get older.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: There's certain clothes that you keep. It's a pair of
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: shorts or some old shoes. There's just stuff that we
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: keep that fits right. It doesn't necessarily look right, but
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it fits right. You kind of keep it around, and
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: you keep that till you check out, and then somebody
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: else has to get rid of it. But you keep
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: that to the very end of the road, when you
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: reach the end of the line. There, you keep that stuff.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: And we've got to get all these Browns monologues in.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Got to get them all in. And the reason we
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: have to get them all in is because once the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: season starts, those will be poison. And we're trying to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: get him all in right now, and then we'll meet
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the quota that we have for our friends in Cleveland
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. And did get an email from a god?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: What did you stop doing? The you who's listening to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the podcast thing? I don't know. We should do it everyone,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: but maybe we'll do it later, all right, Final point
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: to the high speed Transaction Wire the sports Wire. Couple
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: of veteran name brand, name brand defensive players on the move.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: People you've heard of, people you've heard of on the move.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Zavon Howard, a longtime Miami Dolphin defensive back. He goes
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to the Colts on a one year deal. Matthew Judan,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: an ex pat of the last year he played with
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the Falcons. He is off to Miami Miami, Miami Miami
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: on a one year deal. So toss up question, zavan
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Howard to the Colts, Matthew Judan to the Dolphins. Who
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: is more likely to make some noise in twenty twenty five.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: So the answer to this is both of these guys
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: are dunskies. Okay, However, despite the fact they've got more
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: kooties and miles than a Motel six bedspread, if you
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, there's a reason they were both
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: unemployed and they just agreed to contracts. Here a couple
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: weeks before the regular season is the over the Hill Gang.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like arguing and having some kind of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: debate over whether or not you want to go with
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the Commodore sixty four or the Atari twenty six hundred.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: If you're an old school computer historian, you know what
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about. But you I'm not play fantasy. Should
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I do my fantasy on the Commodore or the Atari,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: neither one of them. Dude is connecting you to the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Internet in twenty twenty five. So you're shopping at best
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Buy and you're in the scratch and dent aisle at
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: best Buy. You're like, there's something good in there. You
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: see what's in there? What is that? What is that
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: thing of a jake? What's the watch? McCall? Now that said,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: if I got a pick, knife to the throat, gone
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: to the head, God do it. I'm going with Judon.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going with Matthew Judon. Now, I think Miami is
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: gonna fall off the cliff this year, but I'm still
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: taking Matthew Judon. He doesn't have to be the star.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: They actually have some decent players on that defense in Miami.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Not that they are a great defense. They are an
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: average defense. You don't have to go in there and
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: be Batman. He'd be Alfred the Butler in Miami. He's
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: just another body in the dolphin rotation. And if he
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: gets a couple of sacks now and again, that's great
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: for Judon. And he'll go down there in Florida to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: find Ponce de Leon and on Craigslist he'll meet with
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Ponstelli on the parking lot of a waffle house and
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: he'll have some water there and boom, good to go,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: all right? And Judon is actually older than Zavin Howard.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: He's thirty three. He just had a birthday. We don't
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: do shout outs, so if you want a shout out,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: go to Cameo. Judon's thirty three. His last good year
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: was in twenty twenty two. And this is the one
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: last spin around the track before the wheels on the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: bus go off the bus. The wheels on the bus
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: go off the bus, and then you got Howard, who's younger. However,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I have spent minutes, long minutes of my time debating this,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and I've determined, after a brief deliberation, that it is
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: way harder, way harder to age as a defensive back
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: than it is as an edge rusher. Meaning once you
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: lose half a step as a defensive back, forget about it,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: forget to buy your toast. And trying to cover Justin
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Jefferson with a walker, it doesn't go well. And Drew
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Don at least he moves the needle like there's just
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: ages better. It's one of those things that just your
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: pass rusher, a situational pass rusher. It's like Von Miller, right,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: von Miller, who's not an every down player, and he's
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: with Washington now he's assuming he's somewhat healthy, and you
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: put him out there occasionally he'll get your two sacks
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and game. And like, I look at Judaan, who's not
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: as good as von Miller, but he's the situational edge rusher,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and he can be that guy and get a couple
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: more years out of his career. It is the Ben

• 19:07
  Speaker 6: Vegas.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Details on all these social media channels. We'll see you there.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Back to it, back he where we go? And I
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: saw that Patrick Mahomes says that NFL fans turn on you.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: This is in a preview video that has been making
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the rounds from something called The Kingdom. Not true. I
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: guess that's a six part docu series. I don't know
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: what that is. I haven't watched it. There's a promo
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: clip that's making the rounds though, and Mahomes aware that
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: they sustained success is followed by people that want to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: see you fall apart. Now I understand how this work.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: First of all, having lived a certain amount of years,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: like I remember the Michael Jordan is a great example
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: of this. Michael Jordan won a gazillion championships with the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls, and people got tired of Jordan. They had
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: fatigue of Michael Jordan, and so they started taking shots
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: at Michael Jordan. They started knocking him down. And what
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I have noticed is that, yeah, they build you up, suck,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: they knock you down, they build you up again, and
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: then when you get to a certain point, you are
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: essentially immortal in that. Like people don't sit there, you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: real people don't sit there and say, oh, Michael Jordan
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: didn't do this right or didn't do that right. It's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: like no, no, it's like you only remember the greatness
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: of Michael Jordan and that's it, And that's the way
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: it works. And that Tom Brady didn't play all that
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: well in a lot of Super Bowls. Is anyone sitting
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: there and focusing on how crappy Tom Brady played in
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: several of those Super Bowls? They're not doing that, So
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Mahomes said, people start to turn on you and you
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: kind of become the villain, he said, But for me,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: it's just more about playing the game the right way. Well,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: that's a boring answer, all right. It is the Ben Malershaw.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: We'll go to the calls here at eight seven, seven
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: ninety nine on Fox and we'll say hello to Eenie Meenie,

• 21:44
  Speaker 1: it allergies or do you have some kind of viral illness?
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: Slightly congested? Ben, h, I appreciate you noticing an early
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: head cod You know, I don't necessarily have issues until
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: the summer season.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And again, well you can do a garlic you could
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: do that, can catch that nice hot shower that you know,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: that's my favorite hot shower.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: Those things are effective, and I appreciate that, Ben. But
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: what I did, I'm doing much better than I was previously.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: I had to do three regiments of tustin. See. You know,
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: if Chris Rock says Rover, tustin can cure anything, you know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: from a head cold right uh, to you know, to
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: some major injuries sustained. You know in football, you know,
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: you just you take some tussing and you're gonna you're
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: gonna be all right.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: So this started last week and I wasn't. I usually
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: don't get it because as I said, and see Willis
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: is saying it. Wilse is here. Now I don't get
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: it until September, so it's a month earlier that this came,
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: you know, to fruition, and I said, I got, I
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: gotta apply to tusting, which I did after three regiments.
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: I'm doing much better. But thank you for noticing that
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna miss this mall or meet and greet, which
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: WHI kind of hurts my heart because I realized that
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: not only going to meet them, miss the meet and greet,
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: You're probably going to cook something for the meat Wenn,
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: because well, I don't.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm gonna cook anything. I our
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: house is not here and we don't have the kitchen. Well,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: that is true, and I'm planning on trying to get
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: to Vegas early there. The company is efforting to get
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: me a studio to do the show from Vegas, and
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: so well, hopefully I'll be able to go there and
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: enjoy Vegas a little bit earlier and do the show Friday,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday from Vegas, and so then I'll be
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: able to hang out and enjoy Friday, and then Saturday
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: is the big meet and greet and then I'll head back.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: It has been secured. Oh, it has been I'll get
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I'll be doing the show from Vegas, and it's great
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and so but my plan is, see, I'm gonna I
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: cannot come back on Sunday. Willis agrees with me, by
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the way, because and you don't know this, Andre, because
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: you're in the Commonwealth and all that, But the traffic
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: pattern from Vegas to la is a freaking nightmare. It
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: could take up to eight hours on a Sunday to
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: get if you leave right when the hotel's empty out
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: at eleven AM's check out time for most of the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: hotels in Vegas. You get on the on the road
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: about eleven thirty noon and there's an accident out there
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: in the desert. You're You're stuck. You're screwed. There's no
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: other way to go. So I'm going to probably go
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: back in the middle of the night Saturday and the Sunday.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: That's my plan.
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: Okay, do some man I like this. You're gonna do
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: some midnight writing. Okay, what's the cap cut kit? That's me.
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: I'm partial to it, you know what I mean.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: So, oh yeah, listen, I was just this past weekend
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I went up the coast and I was driving in
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night and couldn't see anything, and
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: it was kind of cool. Yeah, yeah, that's where to go.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: Got the high beams on. You're living good. Yeah, all right,
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: that's good to hear. But a specific to sports, the
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: Cincinnati Bengals, you know, they can't get out of their
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: own way, you know, all the foolishness. They don't want
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: to pay this guy. You know, they're gonna pinch pennies,
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: I e. The Indiana Pacers. Million dollars here, million dollars there.
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: What does that matter when you're competing, when you're trying
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: to put Joe and Joe Burrow in position to win,
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: to compete for a Super Bowl. I'm not even winning
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: in Super Bowl, but can fete for a Super Bowl.
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: So this says right on brands to these small market teams.
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: And you yourself, Ben, you say it.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: All the time.
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: All right, we don't need salary caps because these teams
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: show they're not willing to spend what it takes to win.
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: So forget the salary cap. You know, even if you
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: had nothing, they still wouldn't spend the money because they're
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: cheap skates, right, and It's frustrating for me because listen,
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: it looks like the Cincinnati Bengals they're gonna miss the
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: playoffs two years in a row. Trying to do it
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: on the cheap. You're gonna waste Joe Burrow's talent. Everybody's
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: talking about this offense and Chase and Burrow. They can't
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: stop what. They can't stop a cold in the waning
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: days of summer. They can't stop anybody or anything. So
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: for my money, the Browns are gonna beat the brakes
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: off of them. All right, I want to talk about
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: the quarterback. The Browns just gonna line up and run
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: the heck over the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Burrow is never
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: gonna get in a field. I know you have other
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: callers from me and Willis, Okay, even Tho. I'm getting
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: ready to head back to school, but we're gonna still constantly.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I know you got the dreaded day job, I got
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: the dreaded day shifted all but we're rare and appropriate.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Hope you'll call in. We'll try to get you on
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: quick there, Andre, because I know you got to get
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: some sleep and all that. But all right, thank you.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: All right, there's the great Andre, take some robotustin and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: it'll be good to go. So all he needs. Let's
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: say hello to Lucky Tony in the Bay Area. Hello,
• 26:18

• 26:28
  Speaker 8: because I watched it the other day and it was
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: pretty funny. And also I wanted to tell the joke writers,
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: if you guys could write jokes about Lizzo, you guys
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: could write jokes about Vass, but keep it classy. And
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: I'd like to give an example if you.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Don't mind, Ben, Okay, Oh sure, you're Lucky Tony of course,

• 27:14
  Speaker 1: we have here?
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: Ben?
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: What's that? I think it's called Dix? Have you ever
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: been to Dix in Vegas where they like things on
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: your hat. Is that the last resort places? Yeah, there's
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: also a Dix Sporting Goods. Yes, Dix Sporting Goods, which
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: is it was very odd. It was ahead of his time.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I used to go to
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: this place called Chicks Sporting Goods, Chicks and Dix, and
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: they were Chicks was actually purchased by Dick Sporting Goods.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: And I showed up and one day Chicks was no
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: longer around. It became Dix, and I was like, Wow,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: that's Dick's Sporting Goods. Wow, it's amazing. So anyway, assumer
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Marcus Steep says, I wish I knew where you were
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: doing the show from in Vegas on Thursday into Friday.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I would have loved to watch the show live. Well,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think we'll have a live audience at this
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: particular place. I think it'll be just story. I don't
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: even know, to be honest with you, So I don't
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: know where i'll be supermarket. Steve, I've not gotten the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: exact address. I assume i'll get that before I arrive
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: in Vegas, and so I'll let you know. Steve says,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry that my wife and I will not be
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: able to bring Tierra Massoux. It just logistically is really
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: hard to keep it cold while driving out there. Yeah,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: so super marsive. There is some new technology. It was
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: just invented. It's called an ice pack. And Loraina, also
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: you've told me they have these things called these cooler
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: bags that you can get, yes, insulated, and so if
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: you combine those two things together, you have nice cool
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Tiera Massou. I actually went to dinner the other day
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: in the middle, went to dinner.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: And I used one of those cooler bags and I
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: put three different bags of ziploc full of ice in there,
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: and they did not melt at all, kept the pie
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: cold the whole time.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: The way to do it, absolutely, Bill says, who in
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the hell is putting you in Vegas? Kira to would
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: never kimmel? No way. Are you broadcasting from Oscar Goodman's
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Martini bar? If not, you should be. Bill's completely sauced.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: He has no idea what he's saying here. He's completely hammered.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Ferg Dog says, with all the resources at the Dodgers disposal,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: how is it possible for the bottom of their lineup
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to be so terrible. Somehow, I think the problem traces
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: back to all the money they threw at Vassay's hero
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Blake Snow seems like a good take to me. It's
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: a solid take. Absolutely. I see what else do we
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: have that page? Then here you go. All right, let's
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: go to the King of Kurds in the Great State
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: of Wisconsin. Hello King of Kurds.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Man, beautiful verhemos of aim being.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Hello King. If I was any better, i'd be a curd.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: But I'm not, and there aren't. There's like ripoff cheese curds,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: but they're not authentic Wisconsin cheese curds, cheap ripoff versions.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Not at all. Yeah, I don't even know where to start.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I haven't called in a while, but I do love this.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Just take it, take it slow. This is a practice.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Rep take it slow.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: I know you love list radio, but I was trying
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: to think of the rushmore of Ben Mallard colors, and
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I want to add a fift because it's so hard
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: to just keep it at four.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's well, I don't know where you're going with.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I would do big board big boards allowed. We don't
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: do lists, but I could do a big board you
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: want to do a big board.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I feel like Genie and Medford and Doc Mike
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: gotta be on there.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We don't hear from Doc much anymore. He's still alive,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: but he's not up late or early or whatever, so
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: you don't.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: Hear from yea. So this is like something that's all
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: time great. Yeah, and I think it's pretty easy to
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: come up with the four.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Really.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about that.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I gotta fight.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I feel like this, all right, hold on, who's your
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Your top two are genies clearly on there. I would
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: agree with Doc Mike. Doc has done some crazy bits
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: on the show, the whole stuff in Chicago, putting the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: goat head around, getting national publicity, showing up the road
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: shows and just when he puld up and he had
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: an autographed table at the thing in Minnesota which was ridiculous.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: But yes, a hodgepo to me because I feel like
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Sear the hood guy deserves some recognition.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: He's on the Mount Rushmore. And this is my take,
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: And it was going to be.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Controversial, controversial take coming down the pike here, controversial take.
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: Yes, Yes, so I think that the two that you
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: named are obvious ones. I think you have to put
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: cowboy on the Mount Rushmore Cowboy. John Brady's been there
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: since the beginning.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: For longevity, but that's like a lifetime achievement award, like
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: a don But he.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: Has he hasn't even like you know, he hasn't do
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: I mean there's been there's been lulls, but you know,
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: he comes with it, and he doesn't only do his bit.
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: He participates inside the bite sometimes, you know.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Every once in a while, but usually just to get
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: goofy names right.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Is a fight. It might be a verbal octagon, but
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: between Marcell and Blair just because they are let's let's.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: Be real, I'm gonna get I'm gonna get slacked for this.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: You know what's it? It's blind Scott.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Scott.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but bl blind Scott crosses generations. Like these callers
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: usually they only last for a little bit of time
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and they move on to something else. So like Blind
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Scott for longevity was definitely got to be in there.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've blind Scott's changed a lot over the years,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: and he's very loyal to the show and he's still remains.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: But there definitely been times where his calls were premium.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: You know, they were must listen. I gotta tell you
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: just for me personally. Pete and Pittsburgh, who hasn't called
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: in years, is retired as a caller. Uh, who's that
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: beer drink? Beer drinking? Brian's great, but if you see
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: the problem with beer drinking, you got to have your
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: own wing, a big, big board of like the drunks,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: like beer ban there's beer drinking, Brian will But how
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: about Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay. A lot of people
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: don't even know who that is anymore. He's been gone
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: for a long time. Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay, one
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: of the all time great callers at talk radio. Jimmy
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Right from Tampa Bay.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Bill, Angry Bill. I know you're not a big proponent
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: of him, but Bill, like there you go there.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Well, if you want to go like angry old white guy,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: angry Bills at the very top, mark the full name guy,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: you got to put him on there, Mark very angry.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: We would have like you would. And again this is
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: not a list if Terry in England's list, but you
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: could just do a big board of people that have
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: sent me death threats. Blind Scott's on there, the full
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: name guy, He's on there. You know down the big board.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: So, but I haven't called him in a while, and
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I wanted to let you know that I do cook
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: at a bar and grill nearby in Wisconsin, and I
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: do cook cheese curds.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Oh nice, that is my guilty pleasure.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: I do love Coop. I give him a lot of flag.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I kinda we have potato scoops, so I want to
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: do the coops scoops O let him and let him
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: add the toppings. But then I also want you to
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: have a chicken tender.

• 35:26
  Speaker 1: would love to do that, and hopefully we'll put that
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: on that Now. The key is I always say we
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: want something named after us, but it's got to be
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: on the menu, the actual physical menu. Otherwise we don't

  Speaker 1: I see him. He will have to drive down and
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: eat the food, and then I'll, of course I have
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: to visit him. I think as a brother, I have
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: to visit him every couple of years at least. So
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: I have to go to Wiscon and into rotation because
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: he doesn't leave the state of wiscons He's like Dick
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: and Dayton doesn't leave Ohio. My brother does not leave

  Speaker 1: Buddy in San Diego Byron Buxton from FEMI What say you, Laraida?
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Stephen King all right, the proud resident of Maine. No,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: that is incorrect. It's the greatest of all time for
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: leadolf hitters, the great Ricky Henderson with the Seattle Mariners,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: who did it in seven games for the Mariners. Rest
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: in piece, Ricky, here we go. It's maller. How about
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: that the third?
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one big gets quilled.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: So the Bills got beat up thirty eight to nothing
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: by the Bears in a preseason matchup on Sunday, and
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: though it means nothing, one of my closest friends, a
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: Bills fan, is convinced that the entire AFC East is
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: going to take a step forward while the Bills are
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: going to take a step backwards.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: He's a pessimist. Ben, do you agree with.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Any of that.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: I would not base any decisions based on an exhibition
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: game and the I watched some of that game. It
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: was on national television for some reason, and the Buffalo
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Bills had the chronic case of id GAF. If you
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, I don't give an f and
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: so I know, like, I think the Bills will be
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: good in the regular season, the Jets will be mediocre,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins will get worse. I think the Patriots will
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: be better. So I think that's how the AFC East
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: is going to go. And they're not gonna fall off
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: the map there in Buffalo, although if they have that attitude,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: if they come out flasted like that, sure, Next.
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: Speaking of that thirty eight and win by the Bears,
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: I got a lot of people excited about the Ben
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: Johnson Caleb Williams pairing.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: You're Gene in Chicago, so excited.
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, After Williams had a few quote big time throws.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: G managers also fired up. Is this year's Poe?
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: Is this year gonna look better for the former Trojan?
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Well don't. I don't buy the Bears. I'm not on
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: board with the Bears. I'm not like he had good
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: numbers other than the sack thing last year. I think
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: the Bears will be a mediocre team. I think they'll
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: be about where they were when they had Mitch Trubisky,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: where you're in that nine eight, nine, ten win area
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: where you're kind of a fringe contender for the playoffs,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: but you're not really next.
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: So the Bengals aren't the only ones listening to trade offers,
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: as it was reported that the Commanders are shopping. They're
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: starting running back Brian Robinson junior Benjon Commander's fans start
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: to worry about the developments in DC.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: No, they should be I'm okay with this, Like the
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: running back thing is a replaceable position, coop. Brian Robinson's
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: in the last year, coming up on the last year
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: of his contract, so they want to get rid of
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: him now and they just keep it's evolving though he's
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: not a game changing running back. I get it.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: How did we do?
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: They win?
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: I got Oh my god, I want kirk dog.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I won
