0:35

2:01
Speaker 2: This portion of the Ben Malor Show on Fox made
2:03
Speaker 2: possible in part by our friends at tire Iraq. For
2:07
Speaker 2: over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers find the

Speaker 2: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, which Greg, the
2:19
Speaker 2: real estate mogul in Baltimore likes a lot tire rac
2:21
Speaker 2: dot com the way tire buying should be.
2:23
Speaker 1: So several people have pointed out that there was a
2:27
Speaker 1: mistake with the who am I game? Heads will roll,
2:31
Speaker 1: Heads will absolutely roll on that.
2:33
Speaker 2: We'll clean that up and post that bombshell, We'll clean
2:36
Speaker 2: that up in post. So I guess we can use
2:38
Speaker 2: the question that we were going to use, and then
2:40
Speaker 2: we switched it up at the last minute. We can
2:42
Speaker 2: use that this hour, so we will pay off the
2:44
Speaker 2: Stafford question. We gave you a different question for reasons.
2:48
Speaker 1: I don't know why. There's clearly a glitch in the
2:51
Speaker 1: matrix or something like that. But our lead this hour,
2:54
Speaker 1: play the hit, small man, play the hits.
2:56
Speaker 2: Our lead this hour from the Twin Cities, where the
2:58
Speaker 2: juicy Lucies are good, the sports are not. The ongoing
3:02
Speaker 2: quarterback drama O rama with econ Roseville, Minnesota's Vikings, amid
3:07
Speaker 2: the likelihood that Minnesota quarterback J. J.
3:11
Speaker 1: McCarthy will be sitting on his took us.
3:15
Speaker 2: Not playing this weekend, we'll miss the game at Seattle.
3:21
Speaker 2: While in the concussion protocol, the two of the top
3:26
Speaker 2: veterans on the Vikings there said that they fully support
3:30
Speaker 2: their quarterback. They're in battled quarterback JJ McCarthy and his
3:35
Speaker 2: long term, long term outlook in the NFL. We saw
3:41
Speaker 2: this or not you heard about it?
3:42
Speaker 1: Maybe not? No, Steven Meanballs, Steven Meetball's heard about it. So.
3:46
Speaker 2: Wide receiver Justin Jefferson and running back Aaron Jones both
3:52
Speaker 2: acknowledged that McCarthy has clearly been bad, bad, bad, bad
3:57
Speaker 2: bad bad to the bone, bad to the bone the
4:00
Speaker 2: six games he's played, Jefferson described McCarthy's debut as tough.
4:09
Speaker 2: That's kind, that's kind toughest kind a predicted improvement.
4:14
Speaker 1: It can't get much worse. You get much worse, you're
4:16
Speaker 1: selling insurance. Now.
4:18
Speaker 2: Rookie Max Brosmer took all the first team snaps and
4:23
Speaker 2: is expected to start on Sunday unless there's some kind
4:26
Speaker 2: of eleventh hour.
4:27
Speaker 1: Miracle here with JJ McCarthy.
4:29
Speaker 2: In McCarthy's six starts this season, the Vikings have won
4:33
Speaker 2: two of them, they've lost four, and Justin Jefferson has
4:38
Speaker 2: averaged a poultry fifty three receiving yards in those games. Now,
4:42
Speaker 2: that sounds bad. That sounds bad. How bad is it?
4:45
Speaker 2: That's forty three percent worse than his career average. He
4:50
Speaker 2: is a forty percent worst ballplayer with JJ McCarthy.
4:54
Speaker 1: Than all these other quarterbacks he's played with. That's not good.
4:57
Speaker 2: So the NFL insider crowd is now sounding the alarm
5:03
Speaker 2: bells that they're very excited about McCarthy's backup, and they're
5:08
Speaker 2: pessimistic about JJ McCarthy in his future, and they're now
5:12
Speaker 2: selling the rookie undrafted Max Brosmer as a player to
5:18
Speaker 2: keep an eye on there, comparing him to brock Purty.
5:28
Speaker 2: All right, that is a good jumping off point. So
5:31
Speaker 2: let us discuss the question what intrigues you the most
5:37
Speaker 2: about Viking quarterback Max Brosmer being compared to brock Purty.
5:46
Speaker 1: All right, what intrigues you the most?
5:47
Speaker 2: So I've got workshop Otis and Lion King, and we
5:53
Speaker 2: will combine all of these things together and try not
5:57
Speaker 2: to laugh our way through the ridiculousness of the sporting world,
6:01
Speaker 2: the industrial complex of sports.
6:03
Speaker 1: What a travesty of justice? All right? So number W.
6:13
Speaker 2: So the NFL content machine is always king. The content
6:17
Speaker 2: machine never waivers. It does not waiver at all. And
6:21
Speaker 2: it's revving up like a Minnesota snowblower in mid January.
6:27
Speaker 2: You cannot let it breathe. You cannot wait to see. Oh,
6:32
Speaker 2: I don't know, JJ McCarthy's I guess he's on the
6:35
Speaker 2: spectrum of Bustville, right.
6:38
Speaker 1: You know, just yeah, he's not on the spectrum.
6:42
Speaker 2: He's actually renting, and he's thinking about buying a place
6:45
Speaker 2: in Busville. But he's definitely he's renting a place in Busville.
6:49
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy at this particular point, but already firing up
6:54
Speaker 2: the replacement generator. It's called myth making one oh one,
7:00
Speaker 2: making one oh one. They drag a new kid on
7:02
Speaker 2: the block, and they take that new kid on the block.
7:05
Speaker 2: They put him in the Sorcerer's workshop, and then they sprinkle,
7:09
Speaker 2: just like that, they sprinkle those sprinkles here sprinklear, sprinkle
7:12
Speaker 2: some pretty pixie dust on top of him, and poof,
7:18
Speaker 2: a legend is born.
7:20
Speaker 1: Someone named Max Brosmer.
7:23
Speaker 2: Six years this guy spent in college football, played at
7:27
Speaker 2: New Hampshire. I didn't even know they had a team
7:29
Speaker 2: at New Hampshire and also was at Minnesota. He coming
7:33
Speaker 2: out of high school with the high school in Georgia
7:35
Speaker 2: had Ivy League offers out of high school.
7:38
Speaker 1: And so I went back and I.
7:39
Speaker 2: Was like, I don't even remember reading the draft guide
7:44
Speaker 2: for this guy.
7:45
Speaker 1: And I normally spent a lot of time reading those things.
7:48
Speaker 2: It's pretty amusing because it's creative writing, you know, the
7:52
Speaker 2: fiction non fiction.
7:53
Speaker 1: Well, I think you know which one those draft guides are.
7:56
Speaker 2: So I went back and I looked through some of
7:58
Speaker 2: the guides that I have online. I was reading the
8:02
Speaker 2: Max Brosmer scouting report, and he said, well, he's he's
8:06
Speaker 2: basically a pocket passer with a master's degree, and it's
8:10
Speaker 2: like good for him. The brock Purty comparisons, like why
8:15
Speaker 2: because because he's not JJ McCarthy, right, anybody but McCarthy.
8:20
Speaker 2: That's the analysis there. So they're inflating. They're inflating the tires.
8:27
Speaker 2: They're inflating the tires before we even see if the
8:29
Speaker 2: engine turns on for this guy and brock Purty, lately
8:34
Speaker 2: he's looked more like broke Purdy, although he's certainly wealthy.
8:37
Speaker 1: His play is broken.
8:39
Speaker 2: It is, and so what are we even comparing here?
8:43
Speaker 2: This is content manufacturing, is what it is.
8:47
Speaker 1: You don't wait for results. You don't wait for result.
8:52
Speaker 2: You airbrushed the narrative before the guy's even thrown his
8:56
Speaker 2: twentieth NFL pass. You just airbrushed the narrative. And who knows.
9:01
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about the guy. I saw some highlights,
9:04
Speaker 2: big deal, Who cares. Everyone looks good in highlights. Let's
9:06
Speaker 2: see if the kid can read a defense. Let's see
9:08
Speaker 2: if the kid doesn't have pocket panic.
9:11
Speaker 1: Let's see if he knows what he's doing here.
9:14
Speaker 2: I'm not ready to erect a statue outside of the
9:17
Speaker 2: Viking Stadium there in downtown Minneapolis.
9:19
Speaker 1: Right across the street from the hospital where the crazy
9:22
Speaker 1: people are.
9:22
Speaker 2: The NFL never waits, right, the next guy is always
9:26
Speaker 2: the guy. I've learned that the next guy is always
9:28
Speaker 2: the guy. I will believe the hype when he passes
9:32
Speaker 2: the eye test, not the PR test. He's already passed
9:35
Speaker 2: the PR test. This guy, Max Brosmer, has already passed
9:38
Speaker 2: the PR test. We'll see about the actual eye test.
9:41
Speaker 2: And so I am like the state of Missouri. I'm
9:43
Speaker 2: gonna show me state of mind. Meanwhile, speaking of show
9:46
Speaker 2: me state of mind, we go now to Indianapolis, where
9:49
Speaker 2: the Colts have hit a bit of a rough patch and.
9:52
Speaker 1: Some finger pointing. It's starting. Uh oh, yeah, it's starting.
10:00
Speaker 2: It's starting the Daniel Jones story in Indianapolis. The question
10:06
Speaker 2: for the class is this Colts quarterback Daniel Jones facing
10:12
Speaker 2: skepticism once again? Once again the skeptics are out for
10:16
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones. Is the Daniel Jones elevator going up?
10:21
Speaker 1: Or is the Daniel Jones elevator going down? So is
10:24
Speaker 1: he going up or going down?
10:26
Speaker 2: Well, the Daniel Jones elevator based on a minutes long
10:29
Speaker 2: Mallard deliberation is not going up, it is not going down.
10:35
Speaker 2: It is stuck on the thirteenth floor. The lights are flickering,
10:38
Speaker 2: the buttons are jammed, and Daniel Jones is pounding that
10:41
Speaker 2: door open, door open, and he's hitting the button. Nothing's happening,
10:46
Speaker 2: nothing's happening. And he's trying to get a hold of
10:49
Speaker 2: the Otis Elevator repairman. The Otis Elevator repairman is warming
10:54
Speaker 2: up his truck. Because regression versus progression, it's a tale
10:59
Speaker 2: as old. This time it is not a philosophical debate,
11:04
Speaker 2: regression versus progression. It is what the cults are living
11:08
Speaker 2: right now in the moment. That's what's going on with Indianapolis.
11:11
Speaker 1: They thought they had Indiana Jones, a fearless explorer of defenses,
11:16
Speaker 1: slicing through secondaries, cracking the whip, stealing winds. However, lately
11:24
Speaker 1: it's like burping a baby. Yeah, he's morphing back into
11:29
Speaker 1: Danny Dimes, wandering through the Temple of Doom.
11:34
Speaker 2: Stepping on every booby trap imaginable. Two losses in the
11:40
Speaker 2: last three. The schedule is sharpening its knives now. He
11:46
Speaker 2: certainly gagged in the fourth quarter and overtime at Arrowhead
11:49
Speaker 2: coughed up possessions like a clearance sale in Pittsburgh, and
11:54
Speaker 2: suddenly the Blitz answers that he had earlier, Well, let's
12:00
Speaker 2: just say they're gone. Poof, they vanished, Abra kadabra Houdini.
12:05
Speaker 2: Like if you look back, not to give too many numbers,
12:08
Speaker 2: because it's Thanksgiving and it's.
12:11
Speaker 1: Late at night, early in the morning, and you're likely
12:12
Speaker 1: engrossed in something else.
12:14
Speaker 2: But if you go from week one through week eight,
12:18
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones was the Blitz whisper.
12:21
Speaker 1: He owned the Blitz. He was the old of.
12:25
Speaker 2: The Blitz, second in the entire NFL, second best QBR
12:30
Speaker 2: in the NFL when defenses sent the heat. However, since
12:36
Speaker 2: week eight, he currently ranks twenty second with pitiful stats
12:42
Speaker 2: against the Blitz.
12:43
Speaker 1: So that's not just.
12:44
Speaker 2: The electric slide that that's more than that's a skid mark,
12:49
Speaker 2: is what that is?
12:50
Speaker 1: The Colts who.
12:52
Speaker 2: Were seven and one and now they're showing signs of
12:56
Speaker 2: being a tinder box. And what normally happens when you
13:00
Speaker 2: are looking like a tinderbox one spark.
13:04
Speaker 1: And then ca boom.
13:09
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones is now going to have to tiptoe through
13:12
Speaker 2: a minefield to survive this stretch of games upcoming.
13:16
Speaker 1: They got a couple games still to play.
13:18
Speaker 2: In the division with the number one defense in the NFL,
13:22
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans, So that up ahead as well Jacksonville,
13:26
Speaker 2: which doesn't seem like a good team, but they are
13:29
Speaker 2: mathematically a good team also on the schedule. And so
13:34
Speaker 2: again Daniel Jones is gonna have to tiptoe around right now.
13:37
Speaker 2: That elevator not going up. It's rattling, it's groaning a
13:42
Speaker 2: little bit. Things are malfunctioning, and if you don't get
13:46
Speaker 2: this fixed, it's gonna go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
13:49
Speaker 2: down down down down.
13:51
Speaker 1: All right, finnal point, we go to Detroit.
13:53
Speaker 2: We don't often talk about offensive lineman because we try
13:56
Speaker 2: to get people to listen to the show. However, four
13:58
Speaker 2: time Pro Bowl center Frank rat is coming out of retirement.
14:03
Speaker 2: He's coming out of retirement and returning to the Detroit Lions.
14:07
Speaker 1: He has decided to unretire.
14:12
Speaker 2: Yes, you return for the home stretch of the NFL
14:14
Speaker 2: season because he quote loves the game that according to
14:20
Speaker 2: multiple reports, now the deadline was on Wednesday. The deadline
14:25
Speaker 2: was on Wednesday. That was the deadline for Ragnow to
14:28
Speaker 2: come out of retirement be eligible to play this season,
14:32
Speaker 2: and he has done that. Ragnow retired in June of
14:36
Speaker 2: this year, and he said to prioritize his health.
14:40
Speaker 1: He claimed at the time that he just had nothing left.
14:43
Speaker 2: So the question what stands out about Lions center Frank
14:49
Speaker 2: Ragnow's unretirement to rejoin the Lions.
14:55
Speaker 1: So this one is like, it's like showing up to your.
14:57
Speaker 2: Own retirement barbecue five months later with a fresh plate
15:02
Speaker 2: and asking, hey, hey, boys, potato salad left? I like, what, Oh, yeah, yeah,
15:08
Speaker 2: there's no there's no potato salt.
15:09
Speaker 1: Who likes potato salad anyway? Nobody likes potato salad?
15:11
Speaker 2: All right, now, Frank Ragnow slammed the door shut back
15:14
Speaker 2: in chew And I went back and I looked through
15:16
Speaker 2: my notes, and at the time the lineman talked about
15:20
Speaker 2: his health, his body had broken down. He wanted to
15:24
Speaker 2: put his family first. His family was a priority. And
15:27
Speaker 2: now he's kicking it back open like the NFL Black
15:30
Speaker 2: Friday doorbusters time. And so I guess he doesn't care
15:34
Speaker 2: about his family anymore. He doesn't care about his health.
15:37
Speaker 2: Is that what we're supposed to His body's no longer
15:40
Speaker 2: breaking down all that stuff, the curtain call over, the
15:45
Speaker 2: spotlight had dimmed, the orchestra packed up the instruments, and
15:50
Speaker 2: now he's walked back to stage like wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
15:54
Speaker 2: what more performance? One more performance. It's the sports version
15:57
Speaker 2: of a boomerang. You throw it and it smacks you
16:02
Speaker 2: right back in the helmet and look, listen. We can
16:05
Speaker 2: respect the love of the game, the love of football,
16:09
Speaker 2: but you know what this feels like. This feels like
16:12
Speaker 2: the lion king seek will nobody asks for. It's like
16:16
Speaker 2: ragnow retired, like Simba walking off into the sunset. Now
16:20
Speaker 2: he's crawling back like scar with a stinger guitar, solo
16:25
Speaker 2: and on. Retirement is a dangerous, dangerous business. It's like
16:30
Speaker 2: trying to reheat last night's steak.
16:33
Speaker 1: In the microwave. Now, technically you are able to reheat
16:37
Speaker 1: last night's steak in the microwave.
16:39
Speaker 2: If you enjoy eating a rubbery dish, you're going to
16:43
Speaker 2: get that never taste the same, But you can't do it.
16:46
Speaker 1: Now.
16:46
Speaker 2: Bring this up also because there are reports whispers the
16:50
Speaker 2: Naked City Never sleeps that Aaron Donald of the La
16:54
Speaker 2: Rams also currently contemplating a return for the home stretches.
16:59
Speaker 1: The Rams are now the favorite to get to a
17:02
Speaker 1: super Bowl in.
17:02
Speaker 2: The NFC, and so because of that and Stafford's having
17:06
Speaker 2: an MVP season, you put all that together, there's a
17:08
Speaker 2: lot of noise out there that Ram's greatest defensive player
17:12
Speaker 2: in franchise history, at least in the modern era, is
17:15
Speaker 2: going to come out of retirement and join the Rams.
17:18
Speaker 1: It would be Aaron Donald. So we'll see if that
17:20
Speaker 1: happens or not.

22:47
Speaker 6: Yeah?
22:48
Speaker 1: Crazy? Yeah not so.
22:50
Speaker 5: Then I did some travel and I went to Italy,
22:52
Speaker 5: and then I came back and I went to Niner
22:54
Speaker 5: games in Houston and Arizona. Houston was kind of rough,
22:58
Speaker 5: but Arizona was good.
23:00
Speaker 1: So that's cool.
23:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're part of that forty nine or traveling contingent.
23:04
Speaker 1: You've been all over the The Niners did not play

Speaker 2: You just went there to enjoy you know what they
23:10
Speaker 2: call Italian food in Italy, they just call it food.
23:12
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah. Yeah.
23:16
Speaker 5: What I really want to know is when is the
23:18
Speaker 5: meet and greet in Dayton, Ohio to meet Dick.
23:23
Speaker 2: Well, we had a venue. I'll tell you what happened Onnesto.
23:26
Speaker 2: So we had a place. I had somebody that was
23:28
Speaker 2: emailing me that we were working on getting a venue,
23:30
Speaker 2: and I thought we had something nailed down before football season,
23:33
Speaker 2: and then it fell apart. And so now we've decided
23:38
Speaker 2: that we love our friends in Ohio, but we don't
23:40
Speaker 2: want to go during the winter. So we're planning on
23:42
Speaker 2: going in the spring of twenty twenty six, once the
23:45
Speaker 2: weather gets better.
23:46
Speaker 1: We'll go hang out and have a.

Speaker 2: Big shin dig there and we'll probably do one in
23:52
Speaker 2: La Here Ernesto, you know, at some point, and we'll
23:55
Speaker 2: do possibly one in Boston Mike the Leprechaun and Mike
23:59
Speaker 2: in New Hampshire. I talk about having a Mallord meet
24:01
Speaker 2: and greet in Boston and also out in Worcester.

Speaker 2: you'll protect me if I go to Oakland.
24:28
Speaker 6: I got your bet, I got you.
24:30
Speaker 5: All right, it looks like the Rams and Niners might
24:33
Speaker 5: be meeting again in the playoffs.
24:34
Speaker 2: I bet hey, hey, I was at that NFC championship
24:39
Speaker 2: game when they played a couple of years back and
24:40
Speaker 2: the Rams beat the Niners.
24:42
Speaker 1: And there was like it was like the forty nine
24:44
Speaker 1: er home game and all that.
24:45
Speaker 2: But I'm there for it. Why not, let's bring it

25:00
Speaker 1: Right, all right, thank you? Or Nesta Happy Thanksgiving Man,
25:03
Speaker 1: the great.
25:04
Speaker 6: Man.
25:05
Speaker 1: He's been great. He's traveled around.
25:08
Speaker 2: The two guys that have traveled more than anybody, they're
25:10
Speaker 2: super fans of the show.
25:12
Speaker 1: Uh, well, there's there's three.
25:13
Speaker 2: Actually I said two, but there's three. There's a Nesto
25:15
Speaker 2: in the Bay who's traveled all over the place. He
25:18
Speaker 2: was at the Vancouver meet and greet that we did,
25:20
Speaker 2: which was which was so much fun. Uh, that was
25:23
Speaker 2: a little is that the last one? I was the
25:26
Speaker 2: Vegas Live. I don't even know it's Vegas or Vancouver.
25:28
Speaker 2: He Ernesto flew up to Vancouver for that. And then JT.
25:32
Speaker 2: The Wingman has been great. He's gone to a bunch
25:34
Speaker 2: of these things. And Spacoli has also been really good
25:37
Speaker 2: about traveling and going to see the show when we
25:40
Speaker 2: go do appearances at different places. So, uh, those guys
25:43
Speaker 2: would beat the very time. And there's there's others. There's
25:46
Speaker 2: others that I I'm sure I'm forgetting that will remind
25:50
Speaker 2: me what about me? And then they'll get upset And
25:52
Speaker 2: let's go to Jeff in Denver.
25:54
Speaker 1: Who's next.
25:55
Speaker 2: It is the Ben Mather Show doing it, but do
25:58
Speaker 2: it live on Thanksgiving? Let's going on Jeff in the
26:01
Speaker 2: Mile High City.
26:03
Speaker 6: Hey, man, I'd like to dis congratulate you won actually
26:06
Speaker 6: working on the holiday instead of a pre recorded show.
26:11
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, I don't ever record the show.
26:15
Speaker 1: That's not what we do. It's lot.
26:17
Speaker 2: Radio is supposed to be live. It shouldn't be recorded.
26:19
Speaker 2: So that's number one.
26:21
Speaker 1: Number two, I'm not digging.
26:24
Speaker 2: Ditches that said, though, Jeff, Okay, did you see what
26:27
Speaker 2: Aaron Andrews had to say here?
26:29
Speaker 1: Aaron Andrews, this is great. So she's like she's on
26:32
Speaker 1: some podcasters.
26:33
Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean, nobody listens to these things,
26:36
Speaker 2: and she said, Aaron Andrews said, she wants everybody to
26:39
Speaker 2: know that there are some important things to take into
26:41
Speaker 2: account before going in to sports media. And she then
26:45
Speaker 2: proceeded to complain about the fact that she has to
26:49
Speaker 2: work on holidays and that she misses a lot of
26:53
Speaker 2: major life events like weddings and things like that.
26:56
Speaker 1: And she didn't get married until she was in her forties.
26:59
Speaker 1: She complained about her job.
27:00
Speaker 2: Now, now, Jeff, you want to take a guess how
27:04
Speaker 2: many days Aaron Andrews works per year.
27:06
Speaker 1: Take take a guess ballpark figure. What do you think
27:09
Speaker 1: how many days of a year does Aaron Andrews work.
27:12
Speaker 6: I'm not familiar with who that person is, but I
27:15
Speaker 6: would say.
27:16
Speaker 1: That's even better. That's even that's even better.
27:19
Speaker 2: That's a I guess you don't watch the NFL games
27:22
Speaker 2: on Fox, but Aaron Andrews has been a sideline reporter
27:25
Speaker 2: on Fox. And I think that is a very difficult
27:28
Speaker 2: job to go up to the star of the game
27:31
Speaker 2: and say, how does it feel?
27:32
Speaker 1: Man?
27:32
Speaker 2: Is that a hard job? Very difficult. It's right up
27:36
Speaker 2: there with digging a trench. It's the same skill set.
27:39
Speaker 2: It's going up to the star quarterback and threw four
27:42
Speaker 2: touchdowns and say, man, how does it feel. That's like
27:45
Speaker 2: being a roofer and lifting shingles up to the roof.
27:47
Speaker 2: It's very similar.
27:48
Speaker 7: Uh.
27:49
Speaker 1: And in fact, I was actually talking to somebody.
27:51
Speaker 2: Before the show and I was like, you know, Aaron
27:53
Speaker 2: Andrews asking the star player what it's like, or halftime
27:55
Speaker 2: saying what do you tell your team? And halftime coach,
27:58
Speaker 2: very similar to being an iron worker and handling heavy beams.
28:02
Speaker 2: The skill set is the same. Or if you're a
28:04
Speaker 2: logger cutting down trees, you could also you can say
28:07
Speaker 2: that's similar to what Aaron Andrews is doing, and she's compensated,
28:10
Speaker 2: and she does a great job. She makes three million
28:13
Speaker 2: dollars a year. She works roughly twenty days a year.
28:15
Speaker 2: There's Fox does about twenty twenty two NFL games, one
28:19
Speaker 2: exhibition game. They do this seventeen regular season games and
28:25
Speaker 2: or eighteen I guess, because there's you know, they don't
28:27
Speaker 2: get the bye week. So this is like nineteen regular
28:29
Speaker 2: nineteen games there and maybe a couple playoff games.
28:31
Speaker 1: So it gets you right around twenty.
28:33
Speaker 2: She makes roughly one hundred and fifty thousand dollars per game,
28:37
Speaker 2: so I think she's doing.
28:37
Speaker 6: Okay, what do I sign Where do I sign up
28:40
Speaker 6: for that job? Well?
28:42
Speaker 2: Contact Contact corporate and look at your send your resume
28:46
Speaker 2: cover letter, and yeah, it's it's kind of like drilling
28:51
Speaker 2: for oil.
28:52
Speaker 1: Similar.
28:53
Speaker 6: So I initially called up to chime in on Rodney Rogers.
28:57
Speaker 6: He mentioned Rodney Rodgers before, and he was he was
29:00
Speaker 6: good with the Nuggets, as I'm a Nuggets fan, you know,
29:03
Speaker 6: I'm in Denver. And he actually scored nine points in
29:07
Speaker 6: less than twenty seconds in a game in ninety four
29:10
Speaker 6: against Utah. Do you remember that?
29:14
Speaker 1: I don't.
29:15
Speaker 2: I saw somebody had mentioned that in one of the
29:17
Speaker 2: stories they read one of the eulogies about Rodney Rogers.
29:20
Speaker 1: But I was with him.
29:22
Speaker 2: He was on the cleek cash he traded from the
29:25
Speaker 2: clip from the Nuggets of the Clippers in the Antonio
29:27
Speaker 2: mcdice trade.
29:29
Speaker 1: If you remember that trade for the Nuggets.
29:31
Speaker 2: But yeah, he was a really nice, nice guy, really mellow,
29:34
Speaker 2: kind of down to earth guy and all that stuff,
29:36
Speaker 2: and that sucks many.
29:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, they stole the ball. They were down by like twelve.
29:44
Speaker 6: They stole the ball, kicked it out, hit it three,
29:47
Speaker 6: stole the ball, kicked it out, hit it three, stole
29:49
Speaker 6: the ball again, kicked it out hit a three, and
29:51
Speaker 6: they ended up losing the game by like two points
29:53
Speaker 6: against Utah. It was just incredible to see. I mean,
29:57
Speaker 6: you're down by twelve with twenty some seconds left and
30:00
Speaker 6: they basically could have won the game. That was just an.
30:04
Speaker 2: Amazing It's a better store if they won the game.
30:06
Speaker 2: It's a better store if they won the game. Right,
30:08
Speaker 2: you'd agree with that, it's not as good as story
30:10
Speaker 2: because they didn't win the game and they won the game.
30:12
Speaker 2: So you're back now because it's basketball season, is that right?
30:15
Speaker 2: You've recovered from the offseason and all that. You're back now, Jeff,
30:19
Speaker 2: to give nugget propaganda.
30:22
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we're the best team in the league other
30:24
Speaker 6: than OKC, which I don't understand. I really don't understand
30:28
Speaker 6: that there's some kind of aura where they can play
30:32
Speaker 6: foul defense or everything they do is basically a foul
30:37
Speaker 6: and they're getting away with it. I mean, the SGA
30:41
Speaker 6: just put a stiff arm, straight armed against a guy,
30:44
Speaker 6: pushes him away to shoot a shot, and it's not
30:47
Speaker 6: a foul. How is that not a foul? Have you
30:50
Speaker 6: seen that?
30:51
Speaker 1: Jeff? All right time out here.
30:54
Speaker 2: I know that the NBA has a history of shenanigans,
30:58
Speaker 2: shall we say, but why would they rig it for
31:00
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City like that?
31:03
Speaker 1: I don't understand.
31:04
Speaker 2: I agree, well because I don't. It makes no sense
31:07
Speaker 2: they would help. It's bad for the sport, Kyrie and
31:10
Speaker 2: these guys in Okay. So you are gonna bet upset
31:12
Speaker 2: with me, but it's not It's not great when your
31:14
Speaker 2: top team, your your team that is just dominating, is
31:18
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma City. It's not good for the sport, but
31:20
Speaker 2: it's good for Oklahoma City. But for the for the sports.
31:24
Speaker 6: I agree, I completely agree. I don't understand why Oklahoma
31:28
Speaker 6: City being in the market they are is getting the
31:30
Speaker 6: favoritism there. But have you seen how SGA plays?
31:36
Speaker 1: Yes, I know how he played.
31:37
Speaker 2: He was with the Clippers and all that back in
31:39
Speaker 2: the day. And uh, speaking of that, I can I
31:41
Speaker 2: can I take a pot shot at Kawhi Leonard? Will
31:43
Speaker 2: you allow me to take a pot shout of Kahi Leonard?
31:45
Speaker 2: Will you let me do that?
31:47
Speaker 1: All right? So, Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers are terrible this year.
31:50
Speaker 2: They suck Kawisman out and he he called out the Clippers.
31:56
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard said, the Clippers need to play with better talent.
32:01
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard is the guy that chose to get rid
32:05
Speaker 2: of shape jogis Alexander.
32:07
Speaker 3: It was his.
32:08
Speaker 2: The reason the Clippers traded him is because Kawhi Leonard said,
32:11
Speaker 2: I'm not going to the Clippers unless you get me
32:13
Speaker 2: Paul George. And so the Clippers that the Oklahoma state said, well,
32:17
Speaker 2: we want the SGA and the Well in order to
32:21
Speaker 2: get Kawhi because he was the one. So, Kawhi, maybe
32:25
Speaker 2: if you were a better judge of talent, numb nuts,
32:28
Speaker 2: the Clippers would have better talent.
32:29
Speaker 1: You dummy, I'm sorry, go ahead, Jeff, I apologize. Is
32:33
Speaker 1: that on the air? Did I say that on the air?
32:35
Speaker 1: No one's listening. It's Thanksgiving? Who cares.
32:38
Speaker 6: I'm just blown away by the amount of like foul
32:42
Speaker 6: defense that they play and it's allowed.
32:45
Speaker 1: All right, I got your repeating yourself. I'm gonna move on,
32:47
Speaker 1: thank you. All right?
32:48
Speaker 2: There he goes our friend Jeff and Denver Nugget propagandist
32:52
Speaker 2: checking in. Let's say hello now to Poppy in San
32:56
Speaker 2: Diego picking with Poppy. Uh, he's got he's got a
33:04
Speaker 2: customer right now. We're listening to live coverage. This is uh,
33:08
Speaker 2: this is Poppy.
33:08
Speaker 1: He's working uber in San Diego. You know he's yeah, he's.
33:16
Speaker 2: Put he's asking where Chick fil A is right there.
33:18
Speaker 2: So we'll put him on hold and we'll check. But
33:21
Speaker 2: he has no idea he's on the air. But he
33:22
Speaker 2: called into the show to plausibly be on the air.
33:25
Speaker 2: He called him the show to plausibly be on the air.
33:28
Speaker 1: And it's the rod So.
33:30
Speaker 2: The undynamic duo that would be the aforementioned JJ McCarthy
33:36
Speaker 2: who has when targeting Justin Jefferson.
33:40
Speaker 1: This is crazy.
33:40
Speaker 2: This is the this is the fun fact of the
33:43
Speaker 2: hour is what this is. So JJ McCarthy has six
33:47
Speaker 2: interceptions and a forty seven point four passer rating targeting
33:52
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson this season. Those are both the worst among
33:58
Speaker 2: eighty two quarterbacks Z duos with forty or more targets
34:04
Speaker 2: this season. That is the worst.
34:06
Speaker 1: Combo dish in the NFL.
34:09
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy and Justin Jefferson six interceptions forty seven point
34:13
Speaker 2: four passer rating targeting Justin Jefferson. Both of those the
34:17
Speaker 2: worst among eighty two quarterback receiver duos with forty or
34:21
Speaker 2: more targets. I didn't play in the NFL, but that sucks.
34:26
Speaker 2: That is bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad, all right.
34:30
Speaker 2: I see Viva los VICKI checked in Big rig Rob
34:33
Speaker 2: also checking East has been. I'm on the meet and
34:38
Speaker 2: greet in Dayton's Spring of twenty twenty six. I'm also
34:41
Speaker 2: in on the LA one two, and I gotta draw
34:44
Speaker 2: the line on Boston. I cannot hang out with the leprechauns.
34:47
Speaker 2: They're creepy, fair enough, I understand, Well you're locking in
34:52
Speaker 2: on that.
34:52
Speaker 1: And what else did we have? See? Can't can't read
34:57
Speaker 1: that one? All right? Well we'll jump away from that.
35:01
Speaker 2: We have I was gonna I did this last hour,
35:03
Speaker 2: and then I changed it up. I switched the question
35:06
Speaker 2: up after I teased it, which is not.
35:07
Speaker 1: A good job.
35:09
Speaker 2: Who goofed, I've got to know. So I ended up
35:11
Speaker 2: doing the I did the the Jackson Smith in Jigba
35:16

39:48
Speaker 1: Right to where we go. It's maler to the third
39:50
Speaker 1: degree with Project pe. All right, let's get started.
39:54
Speaker 7: So the Steelers have lost four out of their last
39:56
Speaker 7: six games and have fallen out of a playoff spot.
39:59
Speaker 7: Former All Pro Steelers linebacker James Harrison recently called the
40:02
Speaker 7: defense undisciplined and poorly coached and the schemes quote trash Ben,
40:09
Speaker 7: do you think DC, Terrell Austin or even Mike Tomlin
40:13
Speaker 7: could be on the hot seat.
40:15
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not gonna go Mike Tomlin.
40:17
Speaker 2: I've done monologue since before you were born about Tomlin
40:21
Speaker 2: losing his job, and it doesn't matter how bad it gets,
40:24
Speaker 2: they never give rid to Tomlin. The Steelers have been
40:26
Speaker 2: an environmental pollutant defensively, right, there's always, for most of
40:30
Speaker 2: my life, been great, and they're like a Tomic waste.
40:33
Speaker 2: Right now, I would say of those two, the defensive
40:37
Speaker 2: coordinators in much more danger.
40:39
Speaker 1: Next.
40:39
Speaker 7: All right, Next, The Titans fell to one in ten,
40:42
Speaker 7: but cam Ward may have had the best game of
40:43
Speaker 7: his career. Has now gone three straight games without throwing
40:46
Speaker 7: an interception. On Tuesday, Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy
40:50
Speaker 7: said he sees Ward's work starting to pay off. Ben,
40:53
Speaker 7: should Titan fans be encouraged by Ward's improvement?
40:57
Speaker 1: All right?
40:57
Speaker 2: So, but my response is always, well, did you expect
41:01
Speaker 2: the interim coach to say, no, he's getting worse since
41:04
Speaker 2: I took over, he's getting worse since.
41:07
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, listen, I have not seen it.
41:11
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm missing it.
41:12
Speaker 2: I guess he's statistically he's middle of the pack now
41:15
Speaker 2: and they need him to get a.
41:17
Speaker 1: Lot lot better because right now they're still ass Next.
