- 4:03Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm doing, all right. Our lead
- 4:05Speaker 1: this hour is from the most predictable story in the world,
- 4:10Speaker 1: from the broadcasting world. Is it true that former Pittsburgh
- 4:18Speaker 1: Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has decided to use the
- 4:23Speaker 1: tools of ignorance and going to broadcasting. You see this now, Well,
- 4:28Speaker 1: we heard that Tomlin has hired this big muckety muck
- 4:33Speaker 1: sports media agent and he's on the prowl. He's on
- 4:37Speaker 1: the prowl trying to get one of these TV jobs.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Good luck. So that's a jumping off point. We will
- 4:44Speaker 1: discuss this. So the question will Mike Tomlin be a
- 4:51Speaker 1: superstar on television or is he just going to be
- 4:54Speaker 1: another one of these dull x coaches wearing makeup like Tony?
- 5:00Speaker 1: Don't you so bad? My god? All right, Hi, he's
- 5:04Speaker 1: I know, he's not to do a TV anyway. So
- 5:06Speaker 1: I've got hostess Jiminy, Cricket and Bamboo and we will
- 5:13Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and for Tillio in
- 5:18Speaker 1: the Sunshine State, it's time for the gobbaghool we're gonna
- 5:21Speaker 1: have the gobag, not a kickoff.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Here.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Many people right now in that sports media war, which
- 5:29Speaker 1: a very weird world, the sports media war, like the
- 5:32Speaker 1: people that are writers about sports media. It's a very
- 5:34Speaker 1: odd group of people, it really is. Uh, these guys
- 5:39Speaker 1: are drooling. They are gaga for Mike Tomlin, and I
- 5:44Speaker 1: get it. We are big fanboys of Mike Tomlin. Also,
- 5:48Speaker 1: he was great every I think it was every Tuesday
- 5:52Speaker 1: he would give a sermon Tuesday or Wednesday. Was it
- 5:55Speaker 1: was the weekly sermon of Mike tom and it was
- 5:59Speaker 1: it was great. He would get up there on the
- 6:01Speaker 1: dais and the tomlinisms would start flowing. And he's got
- 6:06Speaker 1: the charisma of a movie star. He's got the gift
- 6:08Speaker 1: of gab, like a used car salesman or somebody that
- 6:12Speaker 1: could go sell some ice to an Eskimo, that kind
- 6:15Speaker 1: of guy, debonair, mister smooth, like the guy that calls
- 6:19Speaker 1: our show everyone so mister smooth. And while working for
- 6:23Speaker 1: the Jinsurs there in Pittsburgh, he would serve up he's
- 6:28Speaker 1: he was so good at serving zingers that he became
- 6:32Speaker 1: a brand ambassador for hostess those Every week there was
- 6:36Speaker 1: a zinger. Now that said, as much as I want
- 6:39Speaker 1: this to work, as much as I hope this is wonderful,
- 6:44Speaker 1: I am also a jaded realist. I have been burned.
- 6:47Speaker 1: I remember years ago there was a guy he's dead now,
- 6:49Speaker 1: Tony Sarah Gouse. I thought that guy was gonna be
- 6:51Speaker 1: so fricking good at TV. He sucked rest in Peace.
- 6:55Speaker 1: But he was not good just for whatever reason, it
- 6:57Speaker 1: didn't translate and he was not good at it. And
- 7:00Speaker 1: so it's not that easy. This job is not that easy.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Now radio is harder than television, but televisions it's a
- 7:09Speaker 1: different kind of heart because you got ten million people
- 7:11Speaker 1: telling you what to do, You've got a million cameras
- 7:15Speaker 1: around you, you got to, you know, wear the makeup,
- 7:18Speaker 1: you got a limited amount of time, the whole thing, right,
- 7:22Speaker 1: the whole deal. So it is not a stone cold
- 7:25Speaker 1: lock that this works. And the question must be asked,
- 7:28Speaker 1: is and this is the ultimate question that will determine
- 7:30Speaker 1: whether or not this turns out to be a success
- 7:32Speaker 1: or not. And it's the only question that really matters.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Is Mike tom going into television with the intention of
- 7:42Speaker 1: making that his business or is Mike Tomlin just another
- 7:46Speaker 1: ex coach wearing five pounds of mabelene is. We don't
- 7:50Speaker 1: know all right now, on the surface, he's got everything
- 7:54Speaker 1: he's got, you know. The standard is the standard, that
- 7:57Speaker 1: routine quote that he would give, and it again, it
- 8:02Speaker 1: depends on the filter. I'm a little concerned because as
- 8:05Speaker 1: I understand it, Tomlin has been consulting with Sean Payton,
- 8:09Speaker 1: and Sean Payton took a gap year on Fox and
- 8:13Speaker 1: wasn't very good on television, And the reason he wasn't
- 8:16Speaker 1: very good on televisions because he had intentions of getting
- 8:18Speaker 1: back to coaching in the NFL, which he did with
- 8:20Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. So if you're just gonna make this
- 8:23Speaker 1: a pit stop in between gigs, easy money, no show job,
- 8:28Speaker 1: like a Kawhi Leonard like job, we just don't have
- 8:30Speaker 1: to show up and that's it. And so that kind
- 8:34Speaker 1: of a gap year situation where you're sitting in the
- 8:38Speaker 1: makeup chair and that's the hardest part of the job.
- 8:41Speaker 1: And then you scurry back to the NFL sidelines and
- 8:44Speaker 1: say I'm here. Forget about it, because what you're gonna
- 8:47Speaker 1: get is not an authentic version of Mike Common. You're
- 8:51Speaker 1: gonna get the guarded, cautious diplomatic version. You don't want
- 8:57Speaker 1: to step on anyone because you are likely going to
- 8:59Speaker 1: be coaching some of them in the coming years. It'll
- 9:02Speaker 1: be a waste of your time, my time, and Mike
- 9:05Speaker 1: Tomlin's time if that's the case, and without total commitment,
- 9:10Speaker 1: you're just a rent a coach doing cose play. Is
- 9:15Speaker 1: are you all you are? And if people always trying
- 9:17Speaker 1: to duplicate Charles Barkley will part of it is just
- 9:22Speaker 1: Barkley's great because he's funny and he's self deprecating. The
- 9:26Speaker 1: thing that people lose track of is he what he
- 9:28Speaker 1: does is he breaks away from the jockocracy, right, the
- 9:32Speaker 1: jockocracy is you do not go too deep into the
- 9:38Speaker 1: brotherhood of the locker room and the jock you know,
- 9:40Speaker 1: the jock world. And Barkley doesn't care about that. He
- 9:43Speaker 1: rips everything and he annoys a lot of people because
- 9:46Speaker 1: he's unlike so many others who don't go down that road.
- 9:50Speaker 1: And if Tomlins just gonna sit there like a like
- 9:53Speaker 1: a tree stump and not really go there, then what's
- 9:57Speaker 1: the point all right? Now? Furthermore, as we continue to
- 10:01Speaker 1: play connect the dots here on the Ben Mather Show
- 10:03Speaker 1: on Fox, so it's pretty obvious. I don't think I
- 10:08Speaker 1: need to tell you this that you would not go
- 10:09Speaker 1: out of your way to hire a media agent unless
- 10:15Speaker 1: you wanted a media job. Oh that's a bull take. Yeah,
- 10:18Speaker 1: captain obvious. Captain obvious. So the question, let's crank up
- 10:24Speaker 1: the match game. Let's play the match game. Which TV network? Which?
- 10:30Speaker 1: This is multiple choice? Which TV network should Mike Tomlins
- 10:34Speaker 1: swipe right with? All right, match game? We've got Fox
- 10:40Speaker 1: over here, We've got NBC, CBS, ESPN, don't forget about Amazon.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Every Thursday Prime video? You've got is that Netflix saying
- 10:54Speaker 1: what about us? All right? Little YouTube? Okay, I got you.
- 11:02Speaker 1: So the answer all of you above. He should have
- 11:07Speaker 1: any job he on. Listen, If Mike Tomlin is all in, unfiltered, unprocessed,
- 11:15Speaker 1: and unrefined in the raw, If that's the Mike Tomlin
- 11:18Speaker 1: you get, then he's not applying for jobs. Jobs are
- 11:22Speaker 1: applying for him. Do you understand? You feel me on
- 11:25Speaker 1: that he can handpick literally any job he wants. If
- 11:28Speaker 1: Tomlin is committed, Mike Thomas committed to not going back
- 11:31Speaker 1: to coaching and making this his thing, that he wants
- 11:36Speaker 1: to truly reach greatness in broadcasting. Then it turns into
- 11:42Speaker 1: the Disney singalong Jimminy Cricket whispering Sweet Nothings when you
- 11:47Speaker 1: wish upon a star.
- 11:49Speaker 4: All that.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Yes, Tomlin dialing up his destiny in television like you
- 11:56Speaker 1: order Door Dash or something like that. And seriously, if Tomlin,
- 12:00Speaker 1: if he is into it, and he says I'm not
- 12:01Speaker 1: going to go back to coaching, that's it, then I
- 12:05Speaker 1: would give him any If if I'm Fox, I would
- 12:08Speaker 1: be like, all right, you want any job you want.
- 12:10Speaker 1: You want to replace Tom Brady, Fine, we'll put you.
- 12:13Speaker 1: We'll demote tom to be the guinea table guy on
- 12:17Speaker 1: on the pregame show, We'll give him a seat on
- 12:20Speaker 1: the studio show, and we'll demote him to the second team.
- 12:24Speaker 1: And we'll just hire Tomlin because you're you'll be better
- 12:27Speaker 1: than Brady. Uh. And it goes across the board. If
- 12:30Speaker 1: I'm NBC, collins Worth been there a long time, Tomlin's better,
- 12:35Speaker 1: CBS Tony Romo, Love Tony Romo. Tomlin's going to be
- 12:38Speaker 1: better if he's fully commit herb Street, you're a college
- 12:41Speaker 1: football guy pretending to be an NFL guy. Go back
- 12:44Speaker 1: to do college. Leave us alone. Boom Tomlin's right there
- 12:46Speaker 1: with Al Michaels. Make that happen, right, I'm telling you
- 12:49Speaker 1: the pick of the letter, the pick of the if
- 12:53Speaker 1: if pig, if if sin butts were candy and nuts,
- 12:56Speaker 1: we'd all be rich. But no, And so that's the thing. Now,
- 12:59Speaker 1: my moles who may or may not, may or may
- 13:02Speaker 1: not have TV jobs, tell me that the most likely
- 13:06Speaker 1: landing spot for Mike Tomlin. The most likely landing spot
- 13:10Speaker 1: for Mike Tomlin is in the Tony Dungeee chair. Thumbs down,
- 13:17Speaker 1: thumbs down on that No. Dongee was decommissioned by the
- 13:23Speaker 1: Peacock after years of putting viewers to sleep on Sunday
- 13:27Speaker 1: Night NFL football. The reason I'm against Tomlin taking that
- 13:31Speaker 1: job is it's not a big enough chair. It's not
- 13:36Speaker 1: Dungee had become a bit player and he was so
- 13:41Speaker 1: bad during the Super Bowl they literally sent him to Alcatraz.
- 13:43Speaker 1: That's how bad he was. They put him on an
- 13:45Speaker 1: island that is a jail. I said, Tony, go out
- 13:49Speaker 1: to Alcatraz while these Super Bowl's going on. Okay, I'll
- 13:51Speaker 1: go to Alcatraz. Sure, why not. Mike Tomlin has got
- 13:55Speaker 1: the gravitoss of a freight train, and so why would
- 14:00Speaker 1: you settle if if you're that guy, I mean, it
- 14:04Speaker 1: makes no sense that you would put him there. And
- 14:07Speaker 1: it's like flying coach when you can fly private, Well,
- 14:10Speaker 1: I private's expensive, but if somebodys else paying for it,
- 14:13Speaker 1: you fly private, why not? And you can also get
- 14:16Speaker 1: one of those gigs where you play grab ass, like
- 14:19Speaker 1: on some podcasts, those podcasts brows. Boy, you guys love
- 14:22Speaker 1: those podcast bros. The ex jocks who just played grab ass.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Oh man, those are so pop. Do you imagine Tomlin
- 14:27Speaker 1: playing grab ass, you know, eating fluff or Nutter sandwiches
- 14:30Speaker 1: fed to him by like McAfee. Oh my god, holy crap.
- 14:35Speaker 1: All right, last thing to the deep state conspiracy of
- 14:39Speaker 1: the pig skin world. So talking head dan Orlovsky, or
- 14:47Speaker 1: as he's nicknamed in my house, the mute Button. So
- 14:50Speaker 1: dan Orlovsky has apparently made some bold statements that have
- 14:54Speaker 1: gone around claiming that Ty Simpson that's the Alabama quarterback
- 14:59Speaker 1: Ty Simpson, that Ty Simpson is the best quarterback in
- 15:04Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six draft over Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Now we're not big fans of Fernando Mendoza. We're not
- 15:11Speaker 1: exactly smitten kittens when it comes to Ty Simpson. Mendoza's
- 15:16Speaker 1: expected to go number one in the NFL draft by
- 15:20Speaker 1: Tom Brady and his raiders. So after Orlovsky made the comments,
- 15:25Speaker 1: some Internet investigators started sniffing around, and they realized, wait
- 15:32Speaker 1: a minute, Ty Simpson is wrapped by CIA. We have
- 15:37Speaker 1: one of the biggest agencies in America. And hold on,
- 15:41Speaker 1: let me see the fine pre Wait a minute, Dan
- 15:44Speaker 1: Orlovsky is also represented by CIA, So Orlovsky addressed the
- 15:50Speaker 1: wildebeast in the room very smugly. Orlovsky said, the agent
- 15:56Speaker 1: works for us, not the other way around. Just so
- 15:59Speaker 1: everyone knows oos they are employed by us, respectfully. That's
- 16:04Speaker 1: how the business model is. He went on to say
- 16:07Speaker 1: the horrifically terrible Lions quarterback back in the day. The
- 16:10Speaker 1: CIA is a very big agency. They have a lot
- 16:13Speaker 1: of people. That's all I'll say on that. Then he
- 16:15Speaker 1: claimed that he's such a small person at CIA, he's
- 16:19Speaker 1: not worth paying them for commentary. Right question. Let's go
- 16:25Speaker 1: full deep state here. So NFL I say broadcaster Dan
- 16:29Speaker 1: Orlovsky is accused of playing dirty with the NFL draft
- 16:34Speaker 1: analysis to help a client who has the agency that
- 16:39Speaker 1: he has. What is your take on what's going on here?
- 16:42Speaker 1: Is this a conspiracy or not a conspiracy? All right?
- 16:47Speaker 1: So let's take a deep breath here, let me get
- 16:50Speaker 1: this straight, all right. And again for those of you
- 16:52Speaker 1: relate to the to the party. Dan Orlovsky, the guy
- 16:56Speaker 1: that is most famous for running out of the back
- 17:00Speaker 1: of the end zone as quarterback of the Lions. He
- 17:02Speaker 1: was part of that zero to sixteen Lions team. So
- 17:06Speaker 1: dan Orlovsky, that guy, all right, is now running cover
- 17:11Speaker 1: for CAA, this massive conglomerate of agents who have side
- 17:18Speaker 1: deals with all these big media companies and all that stuff.
- 17:22Speaker 1: So dan Orlovsky, he gets on the air, he's pumping
- 17:28Speaker 1: the tires on Ty Simpson. And when people start realizing,
- 17:33Speaker 1: wait a minute, there's a major conflict of interest here,
- 17:36Speaker 1: and they start calling him out. His defense is, well,
- 17:40Speaker 1: I'm not big enough. They don't pay me any extra
- 17:44Speaker 1: to say that stuff. Okay, Now, I don't know about you.
- 17:49Speaker 1: My default setting on stories like this, I've seen how
- 17:53Speaker 1: they make the sausage. I've seen how this works, and
- 17:56Speaker 1: so my default setting is always that this is just
- 18:00Speaker 1: a grifter move. It's right out of the grifter playbook.
- 18:04Speaker 1: It is. It's the classic bamboo backscratcher, the bamboo backscratcher
- 18:10Speaker 1: and Orlovsky he doesn't need a direct deposit, the idea
- 18:15Speaker 1: that he needs to get paid extra for this. This
- 18:18Speaker 1: has always been one of those i'll scratch your back,
- 18:21Speaker 1: you scratch my back situation. Right, you helped me out.
- 18:25Speaker 1: I might need a better job. I might need some
- 18:26Speaker 1: more money. Here, make sure I get that. Okay, no problem,
- 18:30Speaker 1: we'll get you more money. Sure, we got a you're
- 18:32Speaker 1: at DESPN right now. I got a side hustle with
- 18:34Speaker 1: some startup that's got like Saudi oil money. We'll get
- 18:38Speaker 1: you a lot of we'll get you a lot of money. Well,
- 18:40Speaker 1: you'll be good to go. Okay, thank you for that.
- 18:42Speaker 1: I appreciate that a lot, wonderful. Right, and so we wait,
- 18:47Speaker 1: there's more right, so Rosky like kind of planning possum
- 18:50Speaker 1: and all that playing possum a little bit like I
- 18:52Speaker 1: don't really matter. It was an evasive, passive pathetic really
- 18:58Speaker 1: like a non answer answer type so situation. So then
- 19:02Speaker 1: the story got a little deeper. It wasn't just Orlovsky,
- 19:05Speaker 1: it was former NFLGM Mike Tannenbaum, who happens to also
- 19:10Speaker 1: be a caa guy who was literally licking the toes
- 19:14Speaker 1: of Ty Simpson cyber social media. It said he's hearing
- 19:20Speaker 1: the same assessments of Ty Simpson. So you got Tannenbaum
- 19:25Speaker 1: and Orlovsky who were preaching from the same chapter of
- 19:28Speaker 1: the Bible of CIA. And I'm like, yeah, you dummies,
- 19:32Speaker 1: you heard it at the company Picket Picnic, the CIA company,
- 19:36Speaker 1: Pickett Picnic, That's where you heard this at. And so
- 19:40Speaker 1: the agency. One thing, they know, these people at the agency,
- 19:43Speaker 1: they're very smart, and they know that these executives and
- 19:47Speaker 1: the coaches they all have in their offices, they have
- 19:52Speaker 1: these talking head shows on all the time. When they
- 19:54Speaker 1: get up and have their breakfast, they have their bowld
- 19:57Speaker 1: of Captain Crunch and they're wearing their boxer show worts.
- 20:01Speaker 1: They are drooling waking up watching television. And so to
- 20:07Speaker 1: say that these hacks on TV don't somehow influence the
- 20:13Speaker 1: NFL world is just wrong. In fact, remember the Vikings,
- 20:16Speaker 1: the story came out that they're MENSA GM who they
- 20:20Speaker 1: just whacked a couple months ago, was blindly picking players
- 20:24Speaker 1: simply based on Pro Football Focus. A NERD website in
- 20:28Speaker 1: the NFL Draft and then shock that none of them hit,
- 20:31Speaker 1: None of the picks hit. Yeah. So if that's going on,
- 20:35Speaker 1: you think these guys aren't influenced by some JABBRONI on television,
- 20:39Speaker 1: some ex jock or XGM singing the praises of someone
- 20:43Speaker 1: come on. So a lot of these teams are suckers
- 20:46Speaker 1: and CIA I give them credit, and I'm not ripping them.
- 20:49Speaker 1: I give them credit. These guys are you know what
- 20:51Speaker 1: CIA is. They're snake charmers, keeping the king Cobra in
- 20:56Speaker 1: a round wicker basket, just like a real snake charmer,
- 21:01Speaker 1: covered in a cloth. And then the performance begins and
- 21:06Speaker 1: everyone's amazed, Oh my god, you're making that king cobra
- 21:11Speaker 1: sway with the haunting melody of the punge flute. Wow ah.

- 23:19Speaker 1: Collar Carney writes and says Tomlin could replace Terry Bradshaw
- 23:22Speaker 1: on the NFL on Fox, and then he takes a shot.
- 23:26Speaker 1: I liked I like Terry. I know Terry's been there
- 23:28Speaker 1: forever and all that. I did some radio stuff with
- 23:30Speaker 1: Terry back a million years ago, and I love that
- 23:34Speaker 1: he still has the job. That's wild, wild and crazy.
- 23:37Speaker 1: He used to be able to keep the job through
- 23:38Speaker 1: all these years. And been pretty good at it over
- 23:41Speaker 1: the years. You know, a lot of a lot of chuckling. Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Now let's go to the phones. Let's say hello to
- 23:48Speaker 1: uh do we have here, Ainy Meenie, miney moe. Let's
- 23:51Speaker 1: say hello to Paul, who's in Ottawa. Hello, Paul, Welcome.
- 23:55Speaker 1: What's going on? Paul?
- 23:57Speaker 3: Hey man? Yeah, I would love to see Mike Tomlin
- 24:00Speaker 3: with Al Michaels on Thursday night. I think that would
- 24:03Speaker 3: be a great tearing But I uh, I don't have
- 24:07Speaker 3: anything too skintillating for you tonight. But I noticed it
- 24:11Speaker 3: was three fifty seven and I thought, oh, I wonder
- 24:13Speaker 3: what Ben will talk about in his third monologue. Sure
- 24:17Speaker 3: enough it was the NFL.
- 24:18Speaker 1: And were you were you hoping I was going to
- 24:21Speaker 1: break down the rough Riders or something like that.
- 24:24Speaker 3: Yeah, you talk about Russ Jackson and the Autawa rough Rider. Yeah,
- 24:29Speaker 3: I uh, it's I like the NFL. It's my favorite
- 24:37Speaker 3: diversion for five months of the year, which is exactly
- 24:40Speaker 3: how long an NFL season is.
- 24:44Speaker 1: And yeah, Well, the great thing about it though, is
- 24:46Speaker 1: there's always something going on. There's always something.
- 24:49Speaker 3: There is and for the seven months that they don't play,
- 24:52Speaker 3: there's sports talk radio, and I think that it made
- 24:57Speaker 3: me think that the NFL is so colossal. It's such
- 24:59Speaker 3: a behame that it gets attention for the seven months
- 25:03Speaker 3: that they're not playing, and that's kind of good to
- 25:07Speaker 3: just kind of keep up with it, you know, what's
- 25:09Speaker 3: going on for those seven months?
- 25:11Speaker 1: Well, what is the last communal thing that we have?
- 25:14Speaker 1: I was reading the story about this, like back in
- 25:15Speaker 1: the old days, Paul, you know, we had everyone watched
- 25:17Speaker 1: the same TV shows, everyone listened to the same radio shows. Everyone.
- 25:21Speaker 1: Now it's you know, it's eight gazillion. Everything's been chopped
- 25:25Speaker 1: up into little bite sized pieces. But the one thing,
- 25:28Speaker 1: the last thing left is professional sports. But really only
- 25:32Speaker 1: the NFL that is universally watched. Like other than that,
- 25:36Speaker 1: you know, some people love baseball. I get people written,
- 25:39Speaker 1: are you talking baseball? Who gives about baseball? It's talking
- 25:41Speaker 1: about basketball? What are you talking about the NBA? I
- 25:43Speaker 1: don't like the NBA. I hardly ever get that with football,
- 25:46Speaker 1: hardly ever get that with the NFL.
- 25:48Speaker 3: So no, it's definitely the king. And it also made
- 25:51Speaker 3: me think about my mom. She would have turned ninety
- 25:55Speaker 3: three today and she passed away at the end of July,
- 25:58Speaker 3: but for the last two years of her life. So
- 26:00Speaker 3: we were both lucky enough that I could visit her
- 26:04Speaker 3: and stay with her for more than half a week
- 26:08Speaker 3: at a time. I get the meals and visit with
- 26:11Speaker 3: her and watch schooling and culture into conversation. But one
- 26:15Speaker 3: of the ways she showed her appreciation was she would
- 26:18Speaker 3: watch NFL football with me, and she got to like it,
- 26:21Speaker 3: and she would ask questions about it, and you know,
- 26:23Speaker 3: what's this and what's that? And she loved Tom Brady,
- 26:26Speaker 3: either as a player or a broadcaster. I think she
- 26:29Speaker 3: thought he was good looking. So she would great to
- 26:32Speaker 3: watch the games with.
- 26:33Speaker 1: Look you're there, your mom. She's sing in her late
- 26:35Speaker 1: eighties or whatever there in the nineties, and she's like,
- 26:38Speaker 1: look at the Tom righty on the TV. I love that.
- 26:40Speaker 1: That's great. All right, Paul, good memories about your mom.
- 26:43Speaker 1: That's awesome. You got to spend time with her at
- 26:45Speaker 1: at the end there allur buddy, Thank you, Paul. We'll
- 26:47Speaker 1: talk to you soon. There you go, the great Paul
- 26:49Speaker 1: and Otto. Everybody, look at that, the great Paul and
- 26:51Speaker 1: Rick in Maryland. Hello Rick and Maryland.
- 26:55Speaker 7: The morning time. How's it going, Ben?
- 26:57Speaker 1: There? He is right there, the great reckon what you got?
- 27:00Speaker 1: You want to talk some hot Yeah, I'm gonna talk.
- 27:04Speaker 7: Yeah. So he's going to going into broadcasting. So I
- 27:08Speaker 7: guess once he complete that then so all my EPs
- 27:12Speaker 7: are players player's life. When you think, so, oh my,
- 27:15Speaker 7: don't he look like Tom Yeah he does. I'd be
- 27:20Speaker 7: ready to take a drink. Look at him, just look close.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Okay, ring I don't have a photo of him in
- 27:25Speaker 1: front of me, but went to bed.
- 27:26Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, yeah, So I think Mike, I mean, uh
- 27:30Speaker 7: oh my epps. So finally get to play Mike Thomas
- 27:33Speaker 7: that did that'll.
- 27:34Speaker 3: Be my pick.
- 27:35Speaker 1: I think that would be the story of just finishing
- 27:37Speaker 1: barely over five hundred for twenty years, the Mike Tomlins story.
- 27:44Speaker 1: I like it. All right, thank you direct, all right,
- 27:46Speaker 1: all right, that's all we need. All right, thank you.
