Speaker 2: Welcome, it's our number one, our number one of the
0:06
Speaker 2: original Recipe podcast, Happy Wednesday. It's the twenty second day
0:10
Speaker 2: of January. And here in our number one, it is
0:13
Speaker 2: all about the coaching carousel. We start out in Jerry's world.
0:18
Speaker 2: How do you classify Jerry Jones interviewing Bryan Schottenheimer for
0:23
Speaker 2: the head coaching job in Dallas. Also, do you think
0:26
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy is nervous about possibly being shut out of
0:30
Speaker 2: the coaching cycle he didn't get the Bear's job, he
0:33
Speaker 2: is prominently mentioned for the job in the Bayou. And
0:37
Speaker 2: what is the lesson of Kevin O'Connell's Viking multi year
0:41
Speaker 2: contract extension teachable moment. We'll get to that as well.
0:45
Speaker 2: Right now here it is our number one. We'll figure
0:55
Speaker 2: it out as we go along.
0:57
Speaker 3: Welcome, in beginning of another night of the Benmahlor Show.
1:04
Speaker 3: We are in the air, mywhere cohorts as we move,
1:10
Speaker 3: and a breck Nay breaknet speediser for me to say
1:14
Speaker 3: coast to coast, border, the order and beyond on the
1:17
Speaker 3: mast and definitely powerful microphones of fs are ammating live
1:24
Speaker 3: from the DEEC as we get our opponent out of
1:27
Speaker 3: position we do that headfake.
1:29
Speaker 2: That's what we do here. We're broadcasting live from the
1:31
Speaker 2: Tiraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you
1:35
Speaker 2: get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free roadhazard protection,
1:40
Speaker 2: and over ten thousand recommented installers. Tyraq dot com the
1:47
Speaker 2: way tire mind should be. I know Nick in Nebraska.
1:51
Speaker 2: He's delivered over ten thousand pieces of mail over the years,
1:54
Speaker 2: and so he appreciates the number ten thousand. He's a
1:57
Speaker 2: big fan of the number ten thousand. So the lead
2:01
Speaker 2: this hour. We are going deep, deep into the solar system.
2:08
Speaker 2: And something I don't often talk about, Jerry's World. It's
2:12
Speaker 2: my favorite place to visit. I don't know about your
2:14
Speaker 2: favorite place in the Milky Way, but my favorite place
2:17
Speaker 2: is Jerry's World. And if you ever got a sports
2:19
Speaker 2: talk radio show, your favorite place to visit would be
2:22
Speaker 2: Jerry's World. So we follow the life in Times of
2:25
Speaker 2: America's team, the cinematic drama trying to find a new
2:30
Speaker 2: head coach. If you haven't heard the latest, maybe you're
2:34
Speaker 2: out playing in the snow right. A lot of people
2:36
Speaker 2: sending me pictures of the snow and the video and
2:38
Speaker 2: the cold and all that so maybe you're out enjoying
2:41
Speaker 2: the nice, nice January Bomby conditions, if you enjoy the
2:44
Speaker 2: cold weather. So we've learned the Cowboys, the Dallas Cowboys
2:49
Speaker 2: have completed an interview not with Dion Sanders. No no, no, no,
2:53
Speaker 2: no no. They've gone above Dion Sanders. They have completed
2:58
Speaker 2: an interview with Brian Schottenheimer. Say what, yeah, Brian Schottenheimer
3:05
Speaker 2: for the vacant head coaching job. We are told that
3:08
Speaker 2: the interview took three and a half hours. What could
3:11
Speaker 2: they possibly have talked about for three and a half hours.
3:14
Speaker 2: I don't know about you. I've been in a few
3:15
Speaker 2: job interviews over the years. None of them have lasted
3:18
Speaker 2: three and a half hours. Would they sit down and
3:21
Speaker 2: watch cartoons? What were they doing for three and a
3:23
Speaker 2: half hours? I'd love to know. Anyway, If you look
3:26
Speaker 2: at the big board, the big board, this marks not one,
3:31
Speaker 2: not two, not three? How about number four? Number four
3:37
Speaker 2: is on the door. That's the fourth interview you had.
3:40
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore virtually Robert Salah more on him in a minute,
3:46
Speaker 2: and Leslie Fraser down goes Frasier, down, goes Frase. Now
3:54
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders a popular pick by popular people is not
3:57
Speaker 2: on that list, despite conowtling. Now, would anyone be surprised
4:03
Speaker 2: if Jerry has stealth bomber like interviewed Dion Sanders, he
4:08
Speaker 2: takes some drone and flown over to Colorado how to
4:12
Speaker 2: chat with Dean? Nobody be shocked by that. But the
4:15
Speaker 2: name of the day not to be confused with the
4:18
Speaker 2: soup of the day or the special of the day.
4:20
Speaker 2: The name of the day a la carte is Brian Schottenheimer.
4:26
Speaker 2: As the Cowboys dining al Fresco outside with Brian Schottenheimer,
4:31
Speaker 2: who was on the Cowboy coaching staff. He was listed
4:34
Speaker 2: as the offensive coordinator, but Mike McCarthy did all the
4:38
Speaker 2: heavy lifting, and he's been considered for both the head
4:40
Speaker 2: coach we are told, and offensive coordinator positions in Dallas.
4:45
Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question, how do you classify
4:51
Speaker 2: the latest reporting that Jerry Jones has spoken and interviewed
4:55
Speaker 2: Brian Schottenheimer, the spawn of Marty Schottenheimer, for the Cowboy
5:01
Speaker 2: coaching jobs. So I've gotten arcade, mafia, and tree hugger,
5:08
Speaker 2: and we will combine all of these things together and
5:14
Speaker 2: we are going to make a clay Doll gumby Gumby.
5:19
Speaker 2: You might not know who that is, but what's popular
5:21
Speaker 2: back in the day, all right, So a you do
5:24
Speaker 2: not have to be Jay Glazer or Adam Schefter to
5:28
Speaker 2: know that this name, Brian Schottenheimer does not move the needle,
5:35
Speaker 2: does not move the needle, Like, what are we doing here?
5:38
Speaker 2: You're the Dallas bleeping Cowboys. In fact, that name is
5:42
Speaker 2: so disgusting it makes me want to puke in my mouth.
5:46
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore, Robert Sala, Leslie Fraser, and Brian Schantenheimer tell
5:50
Speaker 2: me you're not even trying. Without telling me you're not
5:53
Speaker 2: even trying. What are we doing? Brian Schottenheimer is the
5:56
Speaker 2: kind of guy that the Colts would hire the Ben Gals.
5:59
Speaker 2: He's Jack is what he is. Just a coach, that's
6:03
Speaker 2: what he is. Nothing special. Has over twenty years in
6:06
Speaker 2: the game. It's good to be the son of an
6:08
Speaker 2: NFL coach. So the younger shot and Iram, Brian shot
6:12
Speaker 2: and I for twenty years. Over twenty years coaching. He's
6:15
Speaker 2: had multiple stints with multiple franchises as offensive coordinator, four
6:19
Speaker 2: different teams. None of them he left a mark on.
6:22
Speaker 2: We used to goofind him when he was with the Jets,
6:24
Speaker 2: but who doesn't. So he's a nepotism baby. He's Bronnie
6:28
Speaker 2: James is what he is. He's a nepo baby. Now,
6:32
Speaker 2: Jerry is running this coaching search like he's at the arcade.
6:38
Speaker 2: He's had a couple of shots of whiskey or whatever.
6:41
Speaker 2: He's blindfolded and he's playing the claw machine and he's
6:46
Speaker 2: attempting to get the big Stuffy to be the coach
6:49
Speaker 2: of the Cowboys. This conversation, well, it's just you know,
6:54
Speaker 2: we'll we'll talk about whatever's going on here. But he's
6:56
Speaker 2: just like you're drawing a blank. It's like, what are
6:57
Speaker 2: you doing? You know, even even for due diligent purposes,
7:02
Speaker 2: it's bad for fan morale. Schottenheimer has no business of
7:07
Speaker 2: being a head coach, certainly not of a glamour franchise,
7:09
Speaker 2: allegedly like the Cowboys. But it makes no sense even
7:13
Speaker 2: to hire somebody. Were saying, well, they just interviewed them,
7:15
Speaker 2: to hire them as the offensive coordinator. And that gets
7:18
Speaker 2: on your nerves too. And I have no skin in
7:20
Speaker 2: the game. I'm not a Cowboy fan. But you follow
7:22
Speaker 2: the chain of command. You you hire the head coach,
7:25
Speaker 2: and then the head coach they're the ones that pick
7:28
Speaker 2: the offensive coardor not vice versa. It's like you're counting
7:31
Speaker 2: your chickens before they hatch here, and that's a bad
7:34
Speaker 2: job by you. So I understand. I'm a cowboy supporters.
7:38
Speaker 2: The Cowboy loyalists are going on a wild ride here.
7:41
Speaker 2: They're being taken into the Winnie the Pooh world and
7:45
Speaker 2: they are playing the role of e Or and they're
7:49
Speaker 2: becoming even more miserable and pessimistic, pessimistic. They're like the
7:53
Speaker 2: donkey very much. So question everything. And you must be
7:57
Speaker 2: a skeptic about all of of Jerry's plans. Is he
8:02
Speaker 2: really going to hire another sock puppet? Is Dave Campbell's
8:05
Speaker 2: still around? Can they bring him back? And they go
8:07
Speaker 2: back in the way back machine. Well, the clappers on
8:11
Speaker 2: TV every Sunday, they can bring him back. Clap on,
8:14
Speaker 2: Clap off the clapper. He's available. He's on TV all
8:17
Speaker 2: right now. Page two. So elsewhere as we spam the
8:22
Speaker 2: globe to bring you the latest on the coaching care So,
8:25
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy, did you see this. Mike McCarthy supposed to
8:29
Speaker 2: interview with the Saints, but that was delayed by the
8:31
Speaker 2: Southern blast of cold, snowy weather that hit the southern
8:37
Speaker 2: United States below the Mason Dixon line, so Mike McCarthy's
8:40
Speaker 2: trip was delayed to the Bayou. However, however, he is
8:44
Speaker 2: the betting favorite McCarthy to get the job in now LLINs.
8:49
Speaker 2: This after the Bears snashed Ben Johnson. This is the
8:54
Speaker 2: only gig Mike McCarthy, the only one that Mike McCarthy
8:57
Speaker 2: has been prominently mentioned for is in even being considered
9:01
Speaker 2: for at this point. Now do you think do you
9:05
Speaker 2: think that Mike McCarthy is nervous? Do you think he's
9:09
Speaker 2: nervous about being shut out on this go round of
9:14
Speaker 2: the coaching cycle. So I will play psychologists, something that
9:20
Speaker 2: we have to do when you have a talk show.
9:23
Speaker 2: So I believe the concern level is very small, marginal, marginal.
9:31
Speaker 2: Here's why, by all accounts, at this point when you
9:35
Speaker 2: read the room, Mike McCarthy is still in the pole position. Now,
9:38
Speaker 2: he was in the pole position for the Bear's job
9:40
Speaker 2: and then he lost the race. He lost the race,
9:43
Speaker 2: but he wasn't for a while. He was in the
9:45
Speaker 2: pole position there, so you could lose this job too. Plus,
9:49
Speaker 2: and this is the main point when you talk about
9:51
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy is he's financially set eighteen years. Cartoon size
9:57
Speaker 2: NFL head coach checks New Orleans is not a great job.
10:02
Speaker 2: It's not the roster blows, it's it's a piecemeal organization.
10:07
Speaker 2: If Mike McCarthy goes to a place like ne Orleans
10:12
Speaker 2: and sucks at a time, you cannot suck. Guess what.
10:16
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. He's a made man anyway. Whether he
10:18
Speaker 2: gets the job or not. Success in the football world
10:23
Speaker 2: is a shirt. He's a fully initiated member of the
10:27
Speaker 2: NFL mafia, which means whether he gets this job or not,
10:32
Speaker 2: he'll either get some no show, decently paying consulting job
10:38
Speaker 2: in the NFL or or he'll draw a line over
10:42
Speaker 2: to some TV job somewhere. My favorite now is a pundchest.
10:46
Speaker 2: Everyone wants to do audio content, and he can do
10:49
Speaker 2: a podcast. But either way, he's going to get a
10:52
Speaker 2: gig that'll pay him a decent amount while he treads
10:54
Speaker 2: water and waits for another head coaching job to open
10:57
Speaker 2: up with his name on it. Right, last word we
11:00
Speaker 2: now go to mean the salt. We peeled back the
11:03
Speaker 2: onion and we stepped further into the Viking ship where
11:07
Speaker 2: coach Kevin O'Connell has agreed to a multi die year
11:14
Speaker 2: contract extension, multi year contract extension, avoiding duck status, lame
11:22
Speaker 2: duck status. He had one year left and he had
11:26
Speaker 2: made a deal with the devil. He was upset the
11:28
Speaker 2: Vikings wouldn't extend him last year. So he ends up
11:30
Speaker 2: staying on the sidelines in the Twin Cities. So what
11:33
Speaker 2: is the life lesson? All right? What is the life
11:37
Speaker 2: lesson of Kevin O'Connell's Vikings extension. You're probably saying them
11:41
Speaker 2: out there's no life lesson. You're just talking out of
11:43
Speaker 2: you took us with the life lesson? What's wrong with you?
11:47
Speaker 2: But there is a life lesson here. There's a couple
11:49
Speaker 2: of them. Lesson Number one, the playoffs don't matter, all right.
11:56
Speaker 2: The Vikings absolutely embarrassed themselves. They ran into a hurricane
12:04
Speaker 2: in their underwear. They were not prepared, They were not
12:08
Speaker 2: showing any sense of urgency, even though they were down
12:10
Speaker 2: by a gazillion points to the rams. They were seemingly
12:13
Speaker 2: running out the clock. And despite that, many people getting
12:16
Speaker 2: on their soapbox saying what is Kevin O'Connell doing. Clearly
12:20
Speaker 2: the organization was just happy to make the playoffs, and
12:24
Speaker 2: they were blaming it on Sam Darnold and not O'Connell.
12:29
Speaker 2: On the Houdini act of exiting the playoffs, stays left
12:33
Speaker 2: against the Rams. Lesson number two, it's a teachable moment.
12:37
Speaker 2: Lesson number two. Timing matters. Timing matters, and also being
12:43
Speaker 2: an environmentalist, being a tree hugger matters, because when you're
12:47
Speaker 2: a tree hugger, you have to plant trees or go
12:50
Speaker 2: a very well timed leak, a very well timed league
12:56
Speaker 2: from Kevin O'Connell's camp, whether it was his agent or
12:59
Speaker 2: someone else to Jay Glazer right before the final Sunday
13:04
Speaker 2: of the NFL season was going to kick off, members
13:07
Speaker 2: on the Fox pregame show, and Jay Glazer had the
13:10
Speaker 2: story that there was a story that had been planted
13:13
Speaker 2: inside Jay's phone, inside Jay's phone that the other NFL
13:19
Speaker 2: teams were plotting to try to trade for Kevin O'Connell
13:23
Speaker 2: and get him out of Minnesota. Oh Man, that was
13:26
Speaker 2: a big story. So that clearly a plant. Right. That
13:31
Speaker 2: fairy tale in the NFL pregame show was meant to
13:34
Speaker 2: put some pressure on the Viking ownership, the people that
13:38
Speaker 2: call the shots there, and it worked right. Spoiler alert,
13:41
Speaker 2: it hit the center of the bullseye. Right there, boom,
13:45
Speaker 2: center shot bullseye. So Kevin O'Connell is signed, sealed and delivered.
13:51
Speaker 2: All the teas have been crossed, the dyes have been added,
13:53
Speaker 2: dotted on the on the the docu sign. So now
13:58
Speaker 2: we'll see whether or not he has the Midas touch
14:03
Speaker 2: or the Sadam touch with JJ McCarthy, whether it's lost
14:08
Speaker 2: in translation or better. Days are ahead for the Minnesota
14:12
Speaker 2: Vikings player that had a essentially a red shirt year. Right,
14:15
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy got hurt in play supposedly learned while watching.
14:20
Speaker 2: We'll see if that pays pays off or not. We'll see.
14:24
Speaker 2: All right, is the Ben Mallor show. As we are
14:28

Speaker 2: We use that during the live overnight show. And as
15:05
Speaker 2: we sit here right now, calm, cool and collected, is
15:11
Speaker 2: a mega trade brewing in professional sports here in the
15:16
Speaker 2: overnight and a couple of big names changing laundry? Is
15:21
Speaker 2: that what's about to happen? We'll give you the latest

15:37
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
15:39
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
15:43
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
15:46
Speaker 2: Bill Miller here reminding you that you're listening to the
15:49
Speaker 2: live version of the Ben Maler Show, not the podcast version.
15:52
Speaker 2: The live version, and as a live consumer of the show,
15:57
Speaker 2: you have a competitive advantage over those podcast listeners that
16:01
Speaker 2: work the dreaded day shift. You can interact with the
16:04
Speaker 2: live show. How do you do that? It's not rocket science.
16:11
Speaker 2: You merely have a audio machine you're listening to right now,
16:15
Speaker 2: so you all be obviously have access to the interweb.
16:18
Speaker 2: More likely than not, you can go to the X
16:21
Speaker 2: machine and on that X machine you follow Ben mallor
16:28
Speaker 2: and then tag him in a message Koble loops and
16:32
Speaker 2: the producer's chair a Bronco fan sale Lorraine, she's the
16:41
Speaker 2: FSR tech queen. Y. Yeah, very exciting and now back
16:51
Speaker 2: to the nonsense. Yeah, well it's actually not nonsense. It's
16:55
Speaker 2: a show. It's a talk radio show with some hot
17:00
Speaker 2: cowboy talk late night drug test right, since says the
17:02
Speaker 2: Cowboys coaching candidates do move the needle, It is just
17:07
Speaker 2: moving it a bad batch of insulin, which keeps the
17:11
Speaker 2: sweet sweet radio content at an all time high. He says,
17:16
Speaker 2: let's see Cowboys Anthony in Anaheim, who has sold out.
17:22
Speaker 2: When Anthony started, he was a young guy and he
17:25
Speaker 2: listened to every show and he stayed up all night.
17:27
Speaker 2: Now he's married with kids and so he hardly ever
17:30
Speaker 2: listens live. But he's up late listening to the live show.
17:34
Speaker 2: King Rory writes in says things have warmed up a bit.
17:37
Speaker 2: Here we are above zero. I know you were curious.
17:41
Speaker 2: I was very concerned about that, very concerned about that. Anyway,
17:45
Speaker 2: he says, if Mike McCarthy did start a podcast, he
17:48
Speaker 2: should name it highly Successful, since he is a highly
17:52
Speaker 2: successful coach. Now I know what you're doing. There Roy
17:56
Speaker 2: very funny. Mike McCarthy final moments as cow Boy coach
18:02
Speaker 2: said I do not want to talk about myself and
18:05
Speaker 2: then gave his resume on how great he was as
18:09
Speaker 2: a NFL head coach. He announced his resume and that
18:14
Speaker 2: did not work out for the Chicago Bears. They said, Man,
18:18
Speaker 2: we know your resume, but we're not interested. Ozzie Wise
18:22
Speaker 2: from way out in the boondocks of Australia where no
18:26
Speaker 2: one else is other than him and some kangaroos, He's
18:29
Speaker 2: got that Elon Musk satellite hookup. He says with Mike McCarthy,
18:34
Speaker 2: he has at least been sort of a head coach
18:37
Speaker 2: and some flash in the rather than some flash in
18:39
Speaker 2: the pan coordinator. Yeah, nature Boy says, I like Kevin
18:44
Speaker 2: O'Connell on all in the family, he says, Chipping the
18:48
Speaker 2: Cues writes in from Balmy Syracuse. He says a plus
18:53
Speaker 2: on the maland monologue. This whole situation with Dallas interviewing
18:57
Speaker 2: Brian Schottenneimer reminds me when back in nineteen eighty old
19:02
Speaker 2: Houston Oilers Loving the Blue announced they had signed a
19:06
Speaker 2: quarterback named Bradshaw on their team. Shubble was it was
19:09
Speaker 2: Craig not Terry Bradshaw. Yeah, that is a problem. Yeah,
19:14
Speaker 2: supermarket Steve says, when you said that Brian Schottenheimer was
19:19
Speaker 2: a jack, I thought you were going to say just
19:23
Speaker 2: a crowd because he's German. You thought wrong? How dare
19:27
Speaker 2: you bad job by you? Tom from Fullerton would like
19:31
Speaker 2: to let all the affiliates know that he's listening to
19:33
Speaker 2: us while watching Harry Potter. He's watching Harry Potter while
19:38
Speaker 2: listening to the movies. Yeah, but you got to focus
19:41
Speaker 2: on the show. Focus on the show, he says. I
19:45
Speaker 2: can multitask, and he says, mallon Milusia, what house of
19:48
Speaker 2: Hogwarts would would Ben belong to? Have you done the quiz?

20:20
Speaker 2: piece that wasn't an actual like it is what she wants.
20:23
Speaker 2: This is an official Tom from Fullerton survey. It's scientifical
20:27
Speaker 2: survey from Tom, and Fuller is.
20:30
Speaker 5: Actually asking other people what how's we think you would
20:32
Speaker 5: belong to? So you're not even supposed to answer that.
20:34
Speaker 2: Well, I was allowed to answer that. That's a glitch.
20:36
Speaker 2: Clearly it's a glitch, but I was allowed to answer. Now,
20:42
Speaker 2: Sirius Sean writes in and he he is the I'm
20:46
Speaker 2: going to change his name from Siria Sean to non
20:48
Speaker 2: secuitar man. He's he says, I'm on a bus ride
20:53
Speaker 2: and it really he said that bus ride really took
20:56
Speaker 2: out my U. He took a bus from l A
20:57
Speaker 2: to Arizona back to the Phoenix. So long, long, very
21:03
Speaker 2: dull bus ride. I made that drive. It's not exciting
21:07
Speaker 2: in a car. I can't imagine it's exciting in a bus.
21:09
Speaker 2: But at least in a bus you can like disassociate
21:12
Speaker 2: while you're riding in it, you know, or on the car.
21:14
Speaker 2: Right bens who's around? I mean, there's some people around.
21:17
Speaker 2: It could be some people that are like smell. They
21:19
Speaker 2: could have bo in the bus and what do you do?
21:23
Speaker 2: Like they got the bo how do you handle that?
21:26
Speaker 2: It's a problem. I mean, you know you're gonna mess
21:27
Speaker 2: around with that and all that. So it's a just
21:31
Speaker 2: sprits everyone you stink. Yeah, people getting fights and stuff.
21:35
Speaker 2: It's a big it's a big mess anyway, all right,
21:38
Speaker 2: it is the Ben mal Show. We'll take some calls here.
21:41
Speaker 2: It is a call in show, and let's say hello
21:45
Speaker 2: to Andre who's in the Commonwealth. Hello Andre, Welcome, Hello Ben.
21:53
Speaker 4: It's very good to be with you.
21:54
Speaker 6: Listen on.
21:54
Speaker 4: It's Mike McCarthy situation. It's a bit peculiar to me
21:57
Speaker 4: because I'm just wondering how the carousel continues to go
22:01
Speaker 4: around and he gets his uh, he gets an opportunity
22:04
Speaker 4: to step on and lead his team to some more
22:07
Speaker 4: good regular seasons. Uh, and then first round exits, you know,
22:12
Speaker 4: with no real chance of winning a super Bowl. It's
22:14
Speaker 4: kind of kind of perplexed because like Mike McCarthy is
22:18
Speaker 4: to the NFL, what essentially Doc Rivers is to the NBA,
22:23
Speaker 4: and then you know, you bring him in when like
22:25
Speaker 4: this just to kind of he's a bridge coach, you know. Nonetheless,
22:29
Speaker 4: you have other candidates out there you know, the situation
22:32
Speaker 4: with Gerard Mayo here in New England obviously didn't get
22:34
Speaker 4: a fair shake, wasn't put in a position for the
22:37
Speaker 4: long haul the first three years. Now Bett, did he
22:40
Speaker 4: have won that last game of the regular season, No,
22:42
Speaker 4: But the reason he did win that game because it
22:44
Speaker 4: just showed how it's toxic and combustible a situation it
22:49
Speaker 4: had become where a homegrown, you know, true blue patriot,
22:52
Speaker 4: somebody that was born and bred by the organization decides
22:56
Speaker 4: to pull an Ette brute and stab the organization right
22:59
Speaker 4: in the back and take away a number one pick.
23:02
Speaker 4: You know, how do you get yourself into that situation?
23:04
Speaker 4: You know, the circumstance in my mind allowed for it
23:08
Speaker 4: because of the contentiousness and the vitriol and every and
23:10
Speaker 4: everything else. So with Mike McCarthy, look, you said eighteenth seasons,
23:14
Speaker 4: he's got plenty of money, you know, and you know
23:16
Speaker 4: he's he's a capable coach, but he's certain he's not
23:19
Speaker 4: taking your team anywhere, and hasn't been before, is my point.
23:23
Speaker 4: And I don't know why. You know, you know it's
23:25
Speaker 4: not just a Brian floor as the Gerard Mayos. But
23:27
Speaker 4: give give a young up and comer a chance, an opportunity,
23:30
Speaker 4: Why don't you go out there for you the Saints
23:32
Speaker 4: and find the next Sean McVay rather than going with, well.
23:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone's trying to find the next Sean McVay, but
23:39
Speaker 2: you have to end up with like one hundred stiff
23:42
Speaker 2: coaches before you get the next Sean McVay. And McVeigh
23:44
Speaker 2: wasn't even like a coordinator. He was just like a guy.
23:47
Speaker 2: He wasn't even like the guy. He was a guy,
23:49
Speaker 2: but he wasn't the guy when he ended up getting
23:52
Speaker 2: the job. Now, my conspiracy theory on Gerard Mayo is
23:54
Speaker 2: he found out someone let him know maybe Friday that
24:00
Speaker 2: he was getting whacked, and that's why they went out
24:02
Speaker 2: there and were able to win the game. Because on
24:05
Speaker 2: the Patriots, like it was like half an hour after
24:07
Speaker 2: the game ended with Buffalo and they sent out a
24:10
Speaker 2: well written, well edited news release with all these quotes
24:14
Speaker 2: from Robert Kraft about the dismissal of Gerrod Mayo that
24:18
Speaker 2: was not put together on the fly. They didn't just
24:22
Speaker 2: pull that out of there. It took us at the
24:23
Speaker 2: last second. They had that ready to go, that was
24:26
Speaker 2: that was in the queue ready to hit the send button.
24:30
Speaker 2: So I bet you Gerard Mayo found out somewhere during
24:33
Speaker 2: the week that he was getting whacked, and that was
24:35
Speaker 2: his going away president to the Patriots, like, you can
24:38
Speaker 2: get rid of me. But I wouldn't be shocked if
24:41
Speaker 2: he told this team, is that gonna get rid of me?
24:42
Speaker 2: Let's go out there and kick them out, and that
24:45
Speaker 2: the fact. But even if he didn't even have to
24:47
Speaker 2: do that because the Bills were playing a bunch of
24:48
Speaker 2: backups anyway, So you know, either way, but it's a
24:51
Speaker 2: better story if he said, Hey, let's get these guys
24:54
Speaker 2: and go out and win the game, and they did.
24:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, and getting them he got himself, you know, is
24:58
Speaker 4: it comic cotton?
24:59
Speaker 2: No, but no, to get himself because he was already
25:01
Speaker 2: gonna get let go anyway, if you found out you know, listen,
25:03
Speaker 2: I got let go from here. I found out the
25:05
Speaker 2: night before I was getting letting go. And there's been
25:08
Speaker 2: other jobs I've had where I've I've been tipped off
25:10
Speaker 2: that I was gonna get let go, And so it
25:12
Speaker 2: does change your perspective on things.
25:14
Speaker 4: But Ben, my point is it muddies the water for
25:17
Speaker 4: his next opportunity because there's so much collateral damage from
25:20
Speaker 4: what he did. Yeah, you want to go with the organization, fine,
25:23
Speaker 4: But to take away a number one pick from an
25:26
Speaker 4: institution and a fan base, that doesn't look good on you.
25:29
Speaker 4: And that's why I think it speaks to the situation.
25:32
Speaker 4: Yet they're gonna fire you. But had he not done that,
25:34
Speaker 4: we would look at him the same way we look
25:36
Speaker 4: at Steve Wilks, the same way we look at Brian
25:38
Speaker 4: Flores other coaches who haven't had the chance to play
25:40
Speaker 4: out the string. But because he did that, it gives
25:42
Speaker 4: the organization a little bit of a no problem.
25:46
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think so I disagree. Let's see
25:49
Speaker 2: what who knows. Rob Mayo might go into business and
25:52
Speaker 2: that'll be that and leave coaching. He's gonna get paid
25:55
Speaker 2: for at least the next couple of years, I believe,
25:56
Speaker 2: I think get a three year deal. So there's a
25:58
Speaker 2: bunch of money he's getting anyway, not the coach, which
26:00
Speaker 2: is really a great thing. When you get a lot
26:02
Speaker 2: of money and you don't have to do anything, that's
26:04
Speaker 2: a wonderful thing. You sit on your ass and you
26:06
Speaker 2: pick your nose all day and you watch cartoons and
26:10
Speaker 2: it's just just absolutely wonderful. What a great thing. That
26:13
Speaker 2: is all right, I thank you wonderful, Yes, all right,
26:16
Speaker 2: the great Andre from the Commonwealth checking in see who
26:21
Speaker 2: do we have here, Anthony and Anaheim giving real time feedback.
26:25
Speaker 2: He says it's almost twenty years now. He says he
26:27
Speaker 2: started listening in twenty oh seven. God, I can't believe
26:32
Speaker 2: that's been almost twenty years. Geez, how the hell I'll
26:35
Speaker 2: say that, How the hell is that almost twenty years ago?
26:38
Speaker 2: But it is if you do the malor math on
26:40
Speaker 2: that Lorena, it's you see the calendar and then you
26:44
Speaker 2: go back and yeah, we're only we're only a couple
26:48
Speaker 2: couple clicks of the calendar away from from twenty years. Man,
26:55
Speaker 2: it just zooms by zoom zoom zoom, zoom zoom zoom,
26:59
Speaker 2: zooms boom, zoom, zoom, zoom zoom zoom. Now, we don't
27:02
Speaker 2: talk about the NBA on this show because it's bad product,
27:05
Speaker 2: and we don't talk about bad products. We try to
27:07
Speaker 2: avoid bad products. It's not that popular right now, so
27:09
Speaker 2: we don't talk about it. When the playoffs come around,
27:11
Speaker 2: we'll suddenly shift into NBA mode. Actually, really, when the
27:13
Speaker 2: Super Bowl ends, we'll probably mix in more NBA. So
27:16
Speaker 2: we have another give or take a month a little
27:20
Speaker 2: less than that before we start gearing back up with
27:23
Speaker 2: the NBA and the NBA about to change. Was watching
27:28
Speaker 2: in the background as I was scanning the world Wide
27:32
Speaker 2: Web trying to find things that I thought were interesting
27:35
Speaker 2: to talking about, and came across the Miami Heat. They
27:39
Speaker 2: lost to the Portland Trail Blazers, which is hard to
27:42
Speaker 2: do because the Blazers suck and Miami at home lost.
27:46
Speaker 2: What happened to that Heat culture? What happened to the
27:49
Speaker 2: South Beach flu? None of that working right now in Miami.
27:53
Speaker 2: And is it true a mega trade is brewing? There
27:59
Speaker 2: are reports in the overnight that a three team, multi
28:06
Speaker 2: dimensional New tron Bomb kind of a trade is in
28:09
Speaker 2: the works that would involve the Heat, the Bucks, and
28:13
Speaker 2: the Suns Now play along. There's a lot of moving
28:17
Speaker 2: parts of this play along. So part number one, Jimmy
28:21
Speaker 2: Butler goes outbound from Miami and goes to the Valley
28:27
Speaker 2: of the Sun to Sky Harbor Airport there in Phoenix
28:30
Speaker 2: and hangs out with Kevin Durant and they play grab
28:34
Speaker 2: ass and everything's great. Jimmy Butler goes to Phoenix. Milwaukee
28:39
Speaker 2: would pick up Bradley Beal. Bradley Beal from the Suns.
28:44
Speaker 2: He would have to wave his no trade class to
28:46
Speaker 2: go to Milwaukee, see if that works out, and Miami
28:49
Speaker 2: would receive Chris Middleton from the Milwaukee basketball team. There'd
28:56
Speaker 2: be other crap involved in that. Now, there was a
29:01
Speaker 2: bit of a dead give white, a bit of a
29:05
Speaker 2: dead give white. Jimmy Butler, the Butler did it. I
29:10
Speaker 2: mentioned I had this Son's Blazers game on in the background,
29:13
Speaker 2: and Jimmy Butler was wearing shoes that had the colors
29:18
Speaker 2: of the Phoenix Suns. The plot thickens. Yeah, he was.
29:23
Speaker 2: He had the shoes. You can see. I'm not making
29:26
Speaker 2: that up. I mean even blind Scott can see that.
29:28
Speaker 2: I mean, the shoes are right there. Yeah, I'm sure
29:31
Speaker 2: it's just a coincidence. It's a quinkie dink and he
29:34
Speaker 2: had another layer to the cake, another layer to the cake.
29:37
Speaker 2: There just randomly, randomly happened to be wearing shoes that
29:42
Speaker 2: had the color pattern of the Phoenix basketball team. Just
29:47
Speaker 2: dumb luck. Dumb luck, that's all. It was. Obviously, dumb luck.
29:53
Speaker 2: Nothing else, nothing else at all. I'm clear clear, Come on,
30:01
Speaker 2: you think there was something more involved, Hey, reminder, in

32:19
Speaker 2: Dude, Man, what did he do? Did it? Was it
32:22
Speaker 2: bad customer service?
32:24
Speaker 4: No?
32:24
Speaker 6: So a couple of weeks ago, when Coop was on
32:26
Speaker 6: his Hollywood report, I didn't mention that there's this movie
32:29
Speaker 6: called like Night Bitch with eighty Amy Adams, And on
32:32
Speaker 6: the strength of that recommendation, I saw that movie. And
32:36
Speaker 6: let me tell you something, Ben, just in case you're
32:38
Speaker 6: wondering if Hollywood was done mackey, movies bashing men talk
32:43
Speaker 6: about how superior women are their gosses. Well, don't you hurry, Ben,
32:46
Speaker 6: because Night Bitch fault right in line with another movie.
32:50
Speaker 6: I'll give it to you in thirty seconds. Way has
32:54
Speaker 6: a baby, can't compete, she's tripping, she blames her husband.
32:59
Speaker 6: She spends the rest to the movie talking with women,
33:01
Speaker 6: we're superior. Man heard garbage based?
33:04
Speaker 2: Did you promote a movie that attacks men? Did you
33:07
Speaker 2: do that, Coopolo?
33:09
Speaker 5: I've never I've never seen the movie, so he knows
33:11
Speaker 5: more than I do.
33:12
Speaker 2: Did you see a preview of the movie? Did you
33:14
Speaker 2: know what the movie?
33:14
Speaker 5: Yes, I saw, they don't. All they say in the
33:19
Speaker 5: preview is that she turns into a dog.
33:21
Speaker 6: Bas all metaphorical. It's all metaphorical when she does that
33:24
Speaker 6: dogs though like one minute she's a dog. She does
33:26
Speaker 6: something crazy as a dog, and she wakes up like
33:29
Speaker 6: what happened? What do they do?
33:30
Speaker 4: Like?
33:30
Speaker 6: It's a ridiculous movie.
33:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds terrible.
33:34
Speaker 4: Movie t did you?
33:34
Speaker 6: Is all that movie is used. Never date a woman
33:37
Speaker 6: who thinks she's really smart, because girls who think they're
33:39
Speaker 6: smart they overthink things and they do the worst kind
33:42
Speaker 6: of analysis, which is self analysis, and they ruined the relationship.
33:46
Speaker 6: That's why he's a data woman that's not too smart.
33:48
Speaker 6: That's why I'm I'm like kind of jealous of Sean
33:51
Speaker 6: because Kelly don't know Kelly, she don't seem too smart.
33:53
Speaker 6: So I bet you got that man?
33:57
Speaker 4: All right?
33:57
Speaker 2: All right, thank you right there. You gonna have to
34:01
Speaker 2: go to the podcast for that one. Yeah.
34:06
Speaker 5: The best part though, is when he was sitting there saying,
34:10
Speaker 5: you know, don't date a woman that's smart. Loraina is
34:13
Speaker 5: sitting over here just nodding her head.
34:17
Speaker 2: Wasn't like that. I'm like, this is exactly what I expected.
34:20
Speaker 2: That was the yeah, yeah, okay, you agree, because I
34:24
Speaker 2: was about to just turn him off. I was about
34:25
Speaker 2: to turn off his mic.
34:26
Speaker 5: And be like, I'm not dealing with this today, but don't.
34:29
Speaker 2: You think in general, though not necessarily as women, but
34:31
Speaker 2: in general, like if your people that think way too
34:34
Speaker 2: much in life, Like life's hard enough when you're stupid.
34:36
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if you're thinking about everything? Holy crap,
34:38
Speaker 2: what a nightmare that is. Anyway, here's the who am I? Game?
34:42
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, here's who am I? Go to a podcast later,
34:44
Speaker 2: it'll be up here. All the dirty words. I think
34:47
Speaker 2: I talked over one of them, but that's fine. Here's
34:49
