- 1:55Speaker 1: it now. Back in the day, that was a catchphrase.
- 1:58Speaker 1: It's no longer a catchphrase, but it is a good
- 2:01Speaker 1: lead in to our top of the hour Mallard monologue
- 2:04Speaker 1: as we begin an I hope you're doing.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Well, so we'll start out with this.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Another one bites the dust, Another one bites the dust.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Now, if you haven't heard, perhaps.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Not, we've now learned that former Dallas Cowboy head coach
- 2:19Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy will not will not be the next head
- 2:24Speaker 1: coach of the Saints. State sponsored NFL network claims that
- 2:29Speaker 1: McCarthy decided to focus on the twenty twenty six coaching campaign,
- 2:36Speaker 1: that he'll try to get a job that is currently
- 2:38Speaker 1: held right now the hiring cycle for next year, and
- 2:41Speaker 1: will not be an NFL coach this season. Left the
- 2:46Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys in a hullabaloo following a week of meetings
- 2:50Speaker 1: with Jerry Jones. They could not find any glory hole
- 2:54Speaker 1: in Dallas, and so Mike McCarthy decided to say, no,
- 2:59Speaker 1: I'm gonna go somewhere else, And somewhere else would be
- 3:02Speaker 1: an island.
- 3:03Speaker 2: He's living in the island. Life is what he's doing.
- 3:05Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, how do you digest
- 3:10Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy being shutout of the NFL coaching cycle here
- 3:17Speaker 1: in this go round in twenty twenty five. So I've
- 3:20Speaker 1: got reading, rainbow matrix and cosmetic treatment, and we will
- 3:26Speaker 1: combine all of these things together, and we were going
- 3:30Speaker 1: to make a chicken qesadea is what we're going to make.
- 3:33Speaker 1: So nob that's right as we understand it. Mike McCarthy
- 3:43Speaker 1: ended up getting the hebgbis.
- 3:45Speaker 2: He got hoodwinked. He was led astray.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Now whether that was his agent or his own bravado,
- 3:53Speaker 1: time will tell. But when we talked about McCarthy leaving
- 3:56Speaker 1: the Cowboys, he decided to play hardball with Jerry. There
- 4:00Speaker 1: is a dimension in the multiverse where Mike McCarthy remained
- 4:04Speaker 1: on as Cowboy coach that he took a knee and
- 4:07Speaker 1: he bowed down to Jerry Jones and said yes, Jerry,
- 4:10Speaker 1: whatever you want, I'm good.
- 4:12Speaker 2: But that's not what he did.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Instead, in this dimension, Mike McCarthy said, no, I can
- 4:18Speaker 1: get a job somewhere else, and I have a stack
- 4:21Speaker 1: deck and I'm not going to be the coach of
- 4:23Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Well, it turns out that Mike McCarthy needs
- 4:27Speaker 1: the reading rainbow. He needs the reading rainbow because he
- 4:30Speaker 1: misread the room. He figured that he had the Bears
- 4:33Speaker 1: job in his back pocket, had the same agent as
- 4:36Speaker 1: the general manager of the Chicago Bears, and it seemed
- 4:40Speaker 1: like that was a no brainer, and if that didn't
- 4:42Speaker 1: work out, he had the Saints job as a fallback
- 4:44Speaker 1: option because they had been talking up Mike McCarthy. Well,
- 4:48Speaker 1: Ben Johnson zigged. When Mike McCarthy thought he was going.
- 4:52Speaker 2: To zag, he was posed to zag.
- 4:54Speaker 1: He assumed Ben Johnson was going to go from the
- 4:56Speaker 1: Lions to say the Raiders or the j So the
- 5:00Speaker 1: Jaguars somewhere like that. He was offered the Jacksonville job,
- 5:04Speaker 1: did not take the job. The Raiders fired their coach
- 5:07Speaker 1: and GM to hire Ben Johnson, but he didn't go
- 5:10Speaker 1: to Vegas, instead going to Chicago, So that screwed over
- 5:14Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, but hey, he had the backup play. He
- 5:17Speaker 1: had the backup plan is to go to Louisiana and
- 5:20Speaker 1: coach the Saints, and only to choke when he got
- 5:23Speaker 1: there on the Jumbalaya realizing that the roster was devoid
- 5:28Speaker 1: of fount. Now, from when I've heard, the main issue
- 5:31Speaker 1: for Mike McCarthy was when he was meeting with the
- 5:34Speaker 1: Saints and going over what the vision was for the franchise,
- 5:38Speaker 1: he realized there was a Mickey in the way, and
- 5:42Speaker 1: not Mickey Mouse, Mickey Loomis, who is the Jerry Jones
- 5:47Speaker 1: of the Bayou. He's the Jerry Jones of the buyer,
- 5:49Speaker 1: this guy quietly because they're the Saints and they don't
- 5:51Speaker 1: get a lot of attention. This guy has been the
- 5:54Speaker 1: GM or the executive of the Saints for over twenty years.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Over twenty years, he had quite the lay of the
- 6:02Speaker 1: land there. And so Mike McCarthy ran out of real estate.
- 6:08Speaker 1: And now he's decided to look ahead till twenty twenty six,
- 6:11Speaker 1: the next NFL coaching cycle. So which head coaching jobs
- 6:18Speaker 1: are likely to open up next year? Which head coaching
- 6:22Speaker 1: jobs will likely open up? So the Mallard Crystal ball.
- 6:26Speaker 1: The Mallard Crystal Ball is open and looking.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Into the future.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Here are the teams that have to have really good
- 6:33Speaker 1: years or they're going to fire their coach. The Indianapolis
- 6:36Speaker 1: Colts checked, the Arizona Cardinals check. Check, the Tennessee Titans check.
- 6:44Speaker 1: How about Tampa Bay now, Todd Bowles. We like Todd Bowles,
- 6:47Speaker 1: but we're in the playoffs this year.
- 6:49Speaker 2: But if you look at.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Todd Bowles age, he's at the point where I they're
- 6:54Speaker 1: just mediocre and they're just a playoff team, but they
- 6:56Speaker 1: don't do anything. People are going to try to force
- 6:58Speaker 1: Todd Bowles out. The Giant's Brian dayball. He's got one
- 7:03Speaker 1: more year. I'd say the Atlanta Falcons are also there.
- 7:06Speaker 1: And then based on the last seven years, where the
- 7:08Speaker 1: last seven years, at least one new coach has been
- 7:12Speaker 1: let go every single year one and done. So that
- 7:16Speaker 1: means that either Duvall County in Jacksonville, Liam Khane will
- 7:23Speaker 1: be shown the door, kick his ass out, or the
- 7:27Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys will say bye bye to Shotti, Or should
- 7:31Speaker 1: the Jets say we're changing coaches again because this didn't
- 7:34Speaker 1: really work out with our new Aeron. It didn't really
- 7:37Speaker 1: work out with Aaron Glenn. There's also the surprise coaching change.
- 7:41Speaker 1: At some point, Andy Reid's going to retire if the
- 7:45Speaker 1: Bills continue to flounder in the playoffs, they'll get fed
- 7:48Speaker 1: up and fire Sean McDermott. He's not guaranteed to be
- 7:51Speaker 1: there forever and ever and ever. But those are wild
- 7:54Speaker 1: card situations. But if you do the math, anywhere from
- 7:58Speaker 1: six to ten jobs, get maybe the Colts and the
- 8:01Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Bucks and the Titans and the Giants
- 8:03Speaker 1: and the Falcon.
- 8:04Speaker 2: That's six jobs.
- 8:06Speaker 1: And then I tossed in and and won, which would
- 8:09Speaker 1: be either Jacksonville, Dallas or the Jets. So that's the
- 8:12Speaker 1: seventh job. And then there's the surprise firing or coach
- 8:16Speaker 1: that leaves who wasn't supposed to leave, like Sean McVay
- 8:20Speaker 1: runs off to do television, or Kyle Shanahan decides he
- 8:23Speaker 1: wants to be a massus and leaves coaching all together.
- 8:27Speaker 2: All right now, pitch Dreo.
- 8:29Speaker 1: So former NFL player JJ Watt burst a blood vessel
- 8:36Speaker 1: when he saw the gaggle of players that said, Hey,
- 8:40Speaker 1: I ain't played unless I get mine bro, and they
- 8:44Speaker 1: dropped out of the pro Bowl games, Yes, the Pro Bowl,
- 8:48Speaker 1: not the Pro Bowl, the Pro Bowl games which are
- 8:51Speaker 1: this weekend. Now, he went on a social media rant
- 8:55Speaker 1: suggesting the Pro Bowl should change its name. After all,
- 8:59Speaker 1: it's it's false advertised. So jj Watt thinks the game
- 9:02Speaker 1: should be called the Participation Bowl, is what he said,
- 9:08Speaker 1: due to the vast majority of the top line players
- 9:11Speaker 1: dropping out of the Pro Bowl here in twenty twenty five.
- 9:15Speaker 1: So thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs up, thumbs down to
- 9:20Speaker 1: jj Watt and his plan to change the Pro Bowl
- 9:23Speaker 1: name to the Participation Bowl. So I'm gonna go two
- 9:29Speaker 1: thumbs up. But rather than the Participation Bawl, I'm a
- 9:32Speaker 1: marketing guy.
- 9:33Speaker 2: I'm marketing Mallard.
- 9:34Speaker 1: So rather than Participation Ball, how about Engagement Farming Bowl.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Because that's really why this even exists, the only real
- 9:42Speaker 1: reason that they even have this raw event where everyone
- 9:47Speaker 1: gets together and plays grab ass.
- 9:49Speaker 2: They do the water.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Balloon toss, the hula hoop, they play dodgeball. The only
- 9:54Speaker 1: reason this happens is because of the matrix. It is
- 9:57Speaker 1: because of the clickbait, the love it in the matrix.
- 10:01Speaker 1: The marketing arm of the NFL can't get enough of it.
- 10:05Speaker 1: This event was killed from inside out. The players played
- 10:10Speaker 1: hooky for years. The rank and file held a wild
- 10:15Speaker 1: card strike, actually a wild cat strike that was in
- 10:18Speaker 1: the game in Vegas, the last Pro Bowl that was
- 10:21Speaker 1: played in Vegas. It was such an abomination, it was
- 10:24Speaker 1: such a joke, so over the top, such a mangled mess.
- 10:29Speaker 1: That now they play a flag football game and dodgeball
- 10:33Speaker 1: and all these other events like they're at summer camp.
- 10:37Speaker 1: And that was supposed to get the players back excited
- 10:41Speaker 1: for the Pro Bowls, Like, well, you don't have to
- 10:42Speaker 1: play in the game. You're not going to get hurt.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Just go out there and have some fun.
- 10:45Speaker 2: How's that going? Don't ask? All right, do not ask?
- 10:51Speaker 1: Twenty three players listed on the original Pro Bowl roster.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Have already opted out of the game.
- 10:59Speaker 1: They ain't playing, They're not Most of them aren't going,
- 11:03Speaker 1: they claim because of injury or just a general lack
- 11:08Speaker 1: of interest in the game itself. Now, they were so
- 11:11Speaker 1: desperate to get a warm body a quarterback that Russell Wilson,
- 11:16Speaker 1: who sucks, is a Pro Bowl quarterback.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Drake May.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Even if you are a manny and a petty fanboy
- 11:25Speaker 1: for Drake May, he doesn't belong in a real Pro Bowl.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Over twenty five percent.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Of players selected for the Pro Bowl have tapped out.
- 11:34Speaker 2: They're not going.
- 11:36Speaker 1: And I still chuckle because every once in a while
- 11:38Speaker 1: I'll get a call from a low information fan and
- 11:42Speaker 1: a player will change teams and say, well that player
- 11:44Speaker 1: was a Pro Bowl player.
- 11:47Speaker 2: And okay, they were a Pro Bowl player.
- 11:49Speaker 1: There is nothing more useless in a conversation about the
- 11:54Speaker 1: NFL and saying well, that guy was.
- 11:55Speaker 2: A Pro Bowl player.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Tell me you don't know ball without telling me you
- 11:59Speaker 1: don't know ball. All pro, which is not not Pro Bowl.
- 12:03Speaker 1: All pro status matters. The Pro Bowl is like a
- 12:08Speaker 1: no fail class in college. You are allowing the participants
- 12:13Speaker 1: to receive credit for the class without a low grade,
- 12:18Speaker 1: negatively affecting their GPA because as you just show up
- 12:21Speaker 1: and play grab ass and rah rah, do some cheeseball interviews,
- 12:26Speaker 1: post for some funny photos and videos online.
- 12:29Speaker 2: And smirk a little bit and you're on your way.
- 12:31Speaker 2: All right.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Final point, The tushy pushy is back in the conversation
- 12:36Speaker 1: or at controversial play.
- 12:38Speaker 2: A lot of pushback, a lot of pushback.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Recently over the weekend, the quarterback sneak that has been
- 12:46Speaker 1: mastered by the jedis in Philadelphia the Eagles.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Is it gonna go? Is it gonna stay?
- 12:53Speaker 1: Now we are told the NFL discussed a band of
- 12:58Speaker 1: the tush push. They've had internal conversations. Roger Goodell did
- 13:02Speaker 1: not like the play. However, now they've they've tabled that.
- 13:08Speaker 1: They're like, ah, now working they backed off the competition.
- 13:12Speaker 2: They claim the play is popular. I don't know how
- 13:15Speaker 2: popular it is.
- 13:16Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's actually the right way to
- 13:18Speaker 1: describe it. But should the NFL? Since many have been
- 13:21Speaker 1: emailing me, I'll address this issue. Should the NFL outlaw
- 13:26Speaker 1: ban the Toushy push a going forward?
- 13:31Speaker 2: So?
- 13:32Speaker 1: I say absolutely not. Now, my position is very similar
- 13:34Speaker 1: to baseball. Baseball did not listen to me because Rob
- 13:37Speaker 1: Manford's an idiot. My position in baseball do not ban
- 13:40Speaker 1: the shift.
- 13:40Speaker 2: You don't need to ban the shift. There's a way
- 13:42Speaker 2: to beat the shift.
- 13:44Speaker 1: There's a more compelling argument that there's no way to
- 13:46Speaker 1: beat the Toush push.
- 13:47Speaker 2: If the Toush push has played properly, there's no way
- 13:49Speaker 2: to stop.
- 13:51Speaker 1: However, even with it being a boring in air quotes
- 13:55Speaker 1: a boring play.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Every other team.
- 13:58Speaker 1: The reason not to get rid of the sup Every
- 14:00Speaker 1: single team in the NFL has the same opportunity to
- 14:05Speaker 1: replicate what the philadel f Eagles are doing, meaning they
- 14:08Speaker 1: can run it like them, or they can stop it.
- 14:10Speaker 1: And how's that working out? When you do inventory? The
- 14:14Speaker 1: Eagles with Jalen Hurts are Rhodes scholars at that particular play.
- 14:20Speaker 1: The rest of the league blows. All right, Josh Allen,
- 14:24Speaker 1: how many of those did he botch? And the Bill's
- 14:26Speaker 1: actually been decent at that, but when it mattered, most
- 14:30Speaker 1: didn't quite worked out for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Now,
- 14:33Speaker 1: if it was that easy, and it was that simple,
- 14:37Speaker 1: why wouldn't every team do it? Well, a lot of
- 14:39Speaker 1: these quarterbacks are a flower. They're a pussy willow flower.
- 14:43Speaker 1: And to Jalen Hurts his credit, the guy squats like
- 14:47Speaker 1: squat's car and so he's able to do it.
- 14:51Speaker 2: But that said, big brother.
- 14:54Speaker 1: The NFL, they should consider some cosmetic treatment on the
- 14:59Speaker 1: tushy pushy. All right, little Mallard advice, The Mallard think
- 15:03Speaker 1: tank has been activated.
- 15:05Speaker 2: How about some fine.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Tuning, a little tweaking, little twist here, a little tap
- 15:10Speaker 1: over there. Here's why the play is not a level
- 15:14Speaker 1: playing field. Now I realize the NFL doesn't really care
- 15:17Speaker 1: about that, but from a viewer standpoint, it would be
- 15:22Speaker 1: much more enjoyable. Since offensive players are allowed to push
- 15:26Speaker 1: offensive linemen forward. Thus it's the tush push and Jalen
- 15:31Speaker 1: Hurts and all that. The defensive players are not allowed
- 15:36Speaker 1: to the same courtesy. So if you allow the defensive players,
- 15:40Speaker 1: the linebackers to push the tushy of the defensive linemen,
- 15:46Speaker 1: well that would be an equal level playing field.
- 15:49Speaker 2: That would be fine. That would that would be the
- 15:51Speaker 2: great equalizer.
- 15:52Speaker 1: But the NFL clearly likes the success that Philadelphia has
- 15:55Speaker 1: had with his play and m peple talking about things
- 15:59Speaker 1: being slanted for Kansas City, I say, the way the
- 16:03Speaker 1: Eagles are successful with a touch push is an unfair
- 16:07Speaker 1: advantage that they have, but it has increased offense, at
- 16:11Speaker 1: least for Philadelphia and the NFL. They had a chance
- 16:14Speaker 1: to meddle with it. They didn't meddle with it. We'll
- 16:16Speaker 1: see if they do this year. That's really the secret sauce.
- 16:19Speaker 1: And then now they've added Sekwon Barkley in Philadelphia this year,
- 16:22Speaker 1: which has been great, But other than that, it's get
- 16:25Speaker 1: down a third down and one fourth down and one
- 16:29Speaker 1: and boom, you got the tushy pushy.
- 16:31Speaker 2: All right, It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

- 18:37Speaker 1: It's a bad job.
- 18:39Speaker 2: By you. Shame on you.
- 18:42Speaker 1: We began this hour with the latest stylings of Mike McCarthy,
- 18:47Speaker 1: who announced that he's not going to be a head
- 18:49Speaker 1: coach in the NFL next season.
- 18:50Speaker 2: He's gonna sit it out.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Had to be tough to do that, considering he walked
- 18:55Speaker 1: around like big Man on campus when he rejected the
- 18:58Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, who did want him back. See the part
- 19:00Speaker 1: that nobody likes to talking about. Jerry just wanted Mike
- 19:02Speaker 1: McCarthy to bow down and kiss the ring. And Mike
- 19:05Speaker 1: McCarthy's like, I can't really bow down at this point.
- 19:08Speaker 2: I'm not going to kiss the ring. And so here
- 19:10Speaker 2: we are. Tada. Yeah, all right, anyway, we'll take some
- 19:15Speaker 2: calls coming up here.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Also later this hour, much to the surprise of some,
- 19:20Speaker 1: we will have mallor to the third degree that'll be
- 19:22Speaker 1: coming up later this hour, and we look forward to
- 19:26Speaker 1: this hour.
- 19:26Speaker 2: Ben this hour.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Maybe maybe for you it'll be it was last hour,
- 19:30Speaker 1: or some would say next hour, but for others it'll
- 19:33Speaker 1: be this hour. Yeah, it's very confusing. I understand. I understand,
- 19:39Speaker 1: very confusing. Thing also bad omen for the birds, a
- 19:44Speaker 1: bad omen for the birds.
- 19:46Speaker 2: We give you a good omen for the birds last hour.
- 19:48Speaker 1: Now we give you a bad omen for the birds,
- 19:50Speaker 1: meaning that one of these two things will be accurate.
- 19:53Speaker 2: One of these two things will be accurate.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Ferg Dog writes in from so Kelly says, have you
- 19:58Speaker 1: checked Brownie's statline lately?
- 20:00Speaker 2: Benny?
- 20:01Speaker 1: This performance against the Sixers is making all the people
- 20:04Speaker 1: who said he couldn't play look like fools? Yeah, I
- 20:09Speaker 1: did see. That was a TNT game. Is there anything
- 20:11Speaker 1: more disappointing when you flip on a TNT game and
- 20:16Speaker 1: they go to halftime and it is not Ernie Johnson,
- 20:21Speaker 1: Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley, it's three other bozos with
- 20:26Speaker 1: shaq AT's like man that's a mute button situation.
- 20:30Speaker 2: That's it. I'm out, I'm good.
- 20:32Speaker 1: The only reason I watch halftime is for Charles Barkley
- 20:35Speaker 1: and Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson and Shack not able
- 20:39Speaker 1: to carry the load. Clearly Shack's being carried by Barkley
- 20:42Speaker 1: and those other guys on that halftime show over there
- 20:45Speaker 1: on TNT. But in present performance by the Lakers, I
- 20:50Speaker 1: thought they really held their own against Philadelphia. And Moses
- 20:53Speaker 1: Malone did not score in that game, John Doctor J
- 20:57Speaker 1: was held scored, Alan Iverson did not score for the
- 21:00Speaker 1: seventy six ers, and Joel Embiid did not score for
- 21:04Speaker 1: the seventy six ers. So very impressive for the Lakers defensively. Unfortunately,
- 21:10Speaker 1: a bunch of other people, many of them we've never
- 21:13Speaker 1: heard of, did have a big time performances in that random,
- 21:17Speaker 1: random NBA game on a Tuesday night that was nationally broadcast,
- 21:23Speaker 1: and the Philadelphia seventy six Ers dominated absolute domination situation
- 21:32Speaker 1: as they did. There was one lead change, one lead change,
- 21:37Speaker 1: that's it, one lead change, and the Sixers led by
- 21:41Speaker 1: as many as twenty five points in that game. As
- 21:45Speaker 1: Tyrese Maxi went Ai Doctor J round mound rebound with
- 21:54Speaker 1: forty three points. Forty three point game, and it was
- 22:00Speaker 1: a legit forty three. You know, sometimes we get some
- 22:02Speaker 1: like Iverson would get. I remember talking about Iverson when
- 22:05Speaker 1: we were here, and Iverson would get forty point games.
- 22:07Speaker 1: He'd take forty three shots. This is a forty three
- 22:11Speaker 1: point game with twenty six shots. That's a legit forty
- 22:14Speaker 1: three points when your field goal attempt total is close
- 22:18Speaker 1: to your point total. Things, the math ain't math, and
- 22:22Speaker 1: it's not really really working out. King Rory writes and says,
- 22:27Speaker 1: instead of sitting out of here, Mike McCarthy should come
- 22:30Speaker 1: back to Green Bay as the new quarterback coach and
- 22:33Speaker 1: retooled Jordan Love. Once other teams see the great improvement
- 22:38Speaker 1: on Love, then NFL teams will be begging to hire
- 22:41Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy as their head coach. Well, we know Mike
- 22:44Speaker 1: loves the food in Wisconsin, so I guess it's it's possible. Yeah,
- 22:49Speaker 1: it's possible. That's the case.
- 22:52Speaker 2: There.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Who else do we have page down? Let's see, you
- 22:56Speaker 1: can't can't read that? Supermarcus Steve says, LaVar Arrington comes
- 23:01Speaker 1: in early for work and whoops your ass for talking
- 23:05Speaker 1: bad about Pro Bowl players.
- 23:07Speaker 2: You didn't listen to two pros and a Cup of.
- 23:10Speaker 1: Joe yesterday when I thought he was going to jump
- 23:12Speaker 1: through the phone and strangle Pete Prisco.
- 23:16Speaker 2: No, I did not did not hear that conversation.
- 23:20Speaker 1: I've covered the Pro Bowl and when it was actually
- 23:23Speaker 1: played like a real game at a Loha Stadium in
- 23:25Speaker 1: Honolulu years ago, which no longer exists. They think they
- 23:28Speaker 1: tore that thing down, which was a dump when I
- 23:30Speaker 1: was there many many years ago.
- 23:32Speaker 2: But here's how laid back the Pro Bowl is. Okay.
- 23:36Speaker 1: I was covering it for a radio network, not the
- 23:39Speaker 1: one I'm on right now. There was a different small network.
- 23:42Speaker 2: I was sent. What a great gig.
- 23:43Speaker 1: I was sent to Hawaii for the week to cover
- 23:45Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl.
- 23:46Speaker 2: So I get there. We're doing shows every day.
- 23:48Speaker 1: They had practice, either the NFC or the AFC practiced
- 23:52Speaker 1: at Aloha Stadium, and we had a little table in
- 23:55Speaker 1: the end zone on the astro turf. It was in
- 23:58Speaker 1: the end zone near the locker rooms, so the players
- 24:01Speaker 1: had to walk by us and we had little card
- 24:04Speaker 1: table and we were doing interviews. Right now, I don't
- 24:06Speaker 1: really like doing interviews, but I was at a Loha stadium.
- 24:09Speaker 2: It was the Pro Bowl. It was great.
- 24:10Speaker 1: So then we got done recording. And this is in
- 24:13Speaker 1: the days before podcast. We were like recording for the radio.
- 24:16Speaker 1: So we got done and then I would go and
- 24:19Speaker 1: wander and we'd go into the locker rooms and it
- 24:22Speaker 1: was on Hawaii.
- 24:23Speaker 2: They didn't care. And Andy Reid. This is how long
- 24:26Speaker 2: ago is.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Andy Reid was coaching the NFC because Philadelphia had lost
- 24:30Speaker 1: the NFC championship game, and that's how they determined who
- 24:33Speaker 1: the coach was the loser of the NFC championship game.
- 24:35Speaker 2: So Andy Reid was.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Coaching the NFC team and they had a team meeting.
- 24:40Speaker 1: They called that, we got a team meeting.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Right I'm in the locker room. It didn't kick me out.
- 24:45Speaker 1: I stood there in the back of the room as
- 24:47Speaker 1: Andy Reid had a team meeting there at the Pro Bowl.
- 24:50Speaker 1: And it was not the most riveting thing I've ever
- 24:51Speaker 1: been a part of. Let me tell you that right now. Okay,
- 24:53Speaker 1: it was about as exciting as some of my radio
- 24:54Speaker 1: meetings I've been in Chip and the Ques, right, Sid
- 24:57Speaker 1: says a plus on the Mala monologue. He left in
- 25:01Speaker 1: a hullabaloo. What exactly is a hullabaloo. Is that the
- 25:07Speaker 1: name of the newest Tesla model?
- 25:11Speaker 2: Ooh, good, guess yeah, it's a fine A fine guess well.
- 25:16Speaker 1: A hullabaloo is a loud noise, typically made by someone
- 25:21Speaker 1: who's not happy. I am so angry, I am making
- 25:25Speaker 1: a hullabaloo.
- 25:26Speaker 2: It's a disturbance. Word of the night. The word of
- 25:30Speaker 2: the night is hullabaloo. Hullaballoo. There you go, all right?
- 25:33Speaker 2: What else do we have?
- 25:34Speaker 1: Page nn Now people recommending nicknames for Lorena and nature
- 25:39Speaker 1: voice's wrong button Lorena as a as a possibility.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Great, very very creative, original, yes original. Yeah.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Ferg Dog said, wow, I got excited, mallard of the
- 25:52Speaker 1: third degree an hour one.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Let's go, Yeah, everyone got a look excited.
- 25:57Speaker 3: See that's what we should have done, is just.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Roll with the tide? Are you blaming me? Are you
- 26:01Speaker 2: saying maybe?
- 26:02Speaker 3: Maybe?
- 26:03Speaker 4: Don't don't have to do it play by play every day?
- 26:06Speaker 2: I don't.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to the phones. Let's go to Paul
- 26:10Speaker 1: in Ottawa. Who wants to talk tush Hello, Paul, Let's
- 26:13Speaker 1: talk some tushy.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Hello, Paul.
- 26:16Speaker 5: Hi man, just checking in from the Great White North here,
- 26:20Speaker 5: and I want to offer my two cents about this
- 26:23Speaker 5: so called toush push. I think it's an abomination. Frankly,
- 26:29Speaker 5: I think that it's not really football the way that
- 26:32Speaker 5: I think football should be played. I think for many
- 26:35Speaker 5: years it's been player's block for the runner, create holes
- 26:40Speaker 5: and he runs through those holes. That's the ideal, and
- 26:43Speaker 5: it's been a big part of football for a long time.
- 26:45Speaker 5: And for some reason, that's very watchable. That's highly watchable.
- 26:50Speaker 5: The toush push is not watchable. It looks ridiculous. It
- 26:53Speaker 5: looks ridiculous because it is ridiculous.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Yeah, people, it's as you know, Paul, It's been described
- 27:01Speaker 1: by many as a rugby style player. Now I have
- 27:03Speaker 1: a question for I don't watch a lot of the
- 27:04Speaker 1: Canadian Football League. I don't know if you do either.
- 27:06Speaker 1: You're in Ottawa. Do they have a version of the
- 27:09Speaker 1: tush push in the Canadian Football League?
- 27:12Speaker 5: Not that I've seen. I don't watch very much of it.
- 27:14Speaker 5: I have been to an Ottawa Red Blacks team game,
- 27:17Speaker 5: and it's a different game than the NFL. Like when
- 27:21Speaker 5: I was young, I like the CFL, that's what I
- 27:23Speaker 5: saw the most, But now I prefer the NFL by far.
- 27:28Speaker 5: But now it's becoming. It's this toush push makes a
- 27:31Speaker 5: mockery of it, and I hope that that it goloes away.
- 27:36Speaker 1: But Paul, here's the thing, though, I get you, and
- 27:39Speaker 1: I thought they were going to get rid of it.
- 27:41Speaker 1: I thought last year they would get rid of it,
- 27:43Speaker 1: but they didn't. And how come the other teams aren't
- 27:46Speaker 1: good at it? I like, I like the Rams. Like
- 27:48Speaker 1: the Rams don't run it, They're not good at it.
- 27:50Speaker 1: Like most of the teams don't run it or don't
- 27:53Speaker 1: someone don't even.
- 27:54Speaker 2: Do it at all.
- 27:55Speaker 1: And the ones that do, yeah, you take a team
- 27:58Speaker 1: with that is their fights on ram it all day,
- 27:59Speaker 1: ram it all night. But they don't run it very well.
- 28:02Speaker 1: And most of the teams don't even try it crazy well.
- 28:05Speaker 5: I just find it kind of an annoying play, and
- 28:08Speaker 5: especially in the game on Sunday night when Buffalo kept
- 28:12Speaker 5: trying it, and it was like, try something new, you know,
- 28:15Speaker 5: try something creative, try something different, Try what do you
- 28:19Speaker 5: have to.
- 28:19Speaker 1: Admit the ball and run the success rate ball has
- 28:23Speaker 1: been for Philadelphia. Now here's what you need if you
- 28:26Speaker 1: want things to get cranked up. A couple of notches ball.
- 28:29Speaker 1: When we get to Super Bowl Sunday. Okay, let's say
- 28:33Speaker 1: it's the fourth quarter the Chiefs have Let's say they
- 28:37Speaker 1: have a five point lead, and it's fourth down from
- 28:41Speaker 1: the one yard line of Kansas City for the Philadelphia Eagles,
- 28:45Speaker 1: and they run the tush push. There's like five seconds
- 28:48Speaker 1: left in the game, and they run the tush push
- 28:51Speaker 1: and they win the Super Bowl and a tushy pushy
- 28:53Speaker 1: then that's the ultimate litmus test for the NFL. Then
- 28:57Speaker 1: they're like, well, do we have to get rid of
- 28:58Speaker 1: it now? I mean that's I mean, that's that's how
- 28:59Speaker 1: it game's going to end. The Super Bowl's gonna end
- 29:01Speaker 1: on a toush push at the one yard line.
- 29:03Speaker 2: You're gonna allow that to happen.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not out of realm with pasta. It's it's
- 29:11Speaker 1: amazing how many times we watch these games and it's for.
- 29:15Speaker 2: It's third and one, fourth and one.
- 29:17Speaker 1: It's at least three or four times a game every game,
- 29:20Speaker 1: if not more than that wild within a yard of
- 29:23Speaker 1: the first.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Line the game.
- 29:25Speaker 5: But it's not a sure thing anymore. And aesthetically it's very, uh,
- 29:31Speaker 5: very unappealing. Uh, it just seems to be a take
- 29:34Speaker 5: away the kind of manliness of the game.
- 29:38Speaker 2: Yes, there's not a.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Lot of rugged there's not a lot of ruggedness pushing
- 29:41Speaker 1: another man's toush.
- 29:42Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Paul. All right, there you go.
- 29:44Speaker 2: There's Paul.
- 29:45Speaker 1: And let's go to Domingo in San Diego. It's all
- 29:48Speaker 1: tush all the time. Hello Domingo, welcome.
- 29:51Speaker 6: Hey, Hey, this is the Mingo, our fan Diego. I
- 29:53Speaker 6: want to talk about some butt talk about some bush
- 29:56Speaker 6: toush a butt talk, Okay, I want to carry on
- 30:01Speaker 6: to the other caller.
- 30:03Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 30:04Speaker 7: I like the touch puss. I like I like a
- 30:06Speaker 7: little bit of push in the in the trenches. Well,
- 30:08Speaker 7: why don't we get like a event will Ford that
- 30:10Speaker 7: started to stop it with white, like a well called
- 30:13Speaker 7: like the the fridge warrant soup. You know, if they
- 30:16Speaker 7: have these big defensive linemen over here, we get like
- 30:18Speaker 7: a fad dude over there, right, three hundred pounds in
- 30:21Speaker 7: the center. You think they're going to run that place?
- 30:23Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 30:24Speaker 1: The problem, Yeah, I mean the problem is though they
- 30:26Speaker 1: because it's it's more about like if you're pushing a
- 30:30Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty pound offensive lineman against a three
- 30:35Speaker 1: hundred and forty pound defensive player. But then you have
- 30:39Speaker 1: like a two hundred and thirty five pound full back
- 30:43Speaker 1: or tight end pushing the offensive lineman. It's just a
- 30:48Speaker 1: numbers game, right, themino. It's it's basic math. It's like
- 30:51Speaker 1: you're talking about like five hundred plus pounds.
- 30:53Speaker 7: There the Donalds, the big defensive time.
- 30:57Speaker 2: You know what we need.
- 30:58Speaker 1: You know what you're the NFL. The they need that.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Let me tell you, Domingo. They need that rapper from
- 31:03Speaker 1: Detroit to try to get in that lyft car.
- 31:04Speaker 2: That's what they need, right, you can like.
- 31:07Speaker 5: Five bunch of pounder in there.
- 31:09Speaker 7: Yeah, powder from one plate.
- 31:13Speaker 2: She looks like she's like six hundred pound, you know,
- 31:15Speaker 2: like very large.
- 31:18Speaker 7: He's only there for one plan for talk.
- 31:23Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you, all right, we talked, but
- 31:25Speaker 1: so there we go. Thank you, all right, go away,
- 31:28Speaker 1: all right, there's Domingoing. Yeah quite the story man is
- 31:31Speaker 1: thank god for the Internet. There's a Detroit rapper. I
- 31:35Speaker 1: don't saw this or i'd have heard about it. She says,
- 31:37Speaker 1: she's four hundred ninety pounds. She you know, as a
- 31:42Speaker 1: recovering fat man and forever a fat man. Let me
- 31:46Speaker 1: tell you something if that if she's four hundred and
- 31:49Speaker 1: ninety pounds. I'm a buck twenty.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Okay, let me tell you that that's what I am. Man.
- 31:54Speaker 1: Yes, uh so, what's her name? Dank de Moss? Is
- 31:58Speaker 1: that her name? Am I saying that?
- 31:59Speaker 2: Right? Is that her name? Yeah? I watch how you
- 32:02Speaker 2: say it. I know, I gotta be careful.
- 32:04Speaker 1: She's filed a multi million dollar lawsuit against the car
- 32:08Speaker 1: pickup service Lift because a driver would not pick her
- 32:13Speaker 1: up in a Mercedes, politely telling her that she just
- 32:18Speaker 1: would not fit in the car, and she has filed
- 32:22Speaker 1: a lawsuit against them, claiming that her her liberty. I
- 32:29Speaker 1: guess I was at liberty. I mean I saw several
- 32:32Speaker 1: different versions. I guess she's claiming discrimination.
- 32:34Speaker 4: I mean I wouldn't try to pick her up with
- 32:35Speaker 4: my arms, but I wouldn't be against trying maybe to
- 32:38Speaker 4: pick her up with my car.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Could she sit on the roof of the car? Yeah,
- 32:44Speaker 2: I could put her somewhere, I'm sure. Yeah, strap her
- 32:46Speaker 2: down Christmas tree.
- 32:48Speaker 1: I mean, I don't like this woman because she makes
- 32:50Speaker 1: all fat people look bad, Okay, most fat people. And
- 32:53Speaker 1: I know this because when I was so big, I
- 32:55Speaker 1: wouldn't fit in the booth at restaurants, you know, and
- 32:57Speaker 1: I'd always be worried when I go to restaurants that
- 33:00Speaker 1: they would sit me in a.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Booth because I couldn't fit in the booth.
- 33:04Speaker 1: When before I lost the weight right, So I was like,
- 33:06Speaker 1: oh crap, it was always my nightmare. But I realized
- 33:09Speaker 1: it was a me problem. It wasn't their problem. It
- 33:12Speaker 1: wasn't the person that designed the booth. It was my
- 33:15Speaker 1: problem that I had. I knew I was too big
- 33:17Speaker 1: and I had to lose some weight at some point here,
- 33:19Speaker 1: and so I did.
- 33:20Speaker 2: But it's hard for people to lose weight. I get it.
- 33:23Speaker 1: But my God like to have as I go back
- 33:27Speaker 1: to the word hutzba to say, well I'm gonna I'm
- 33:29Speaker 1: gonna get some money out of this, Like what are you.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Entitled to fit into a car? Just the math is
- 33:36Speaker 2: not there.
- 33:37Speaker 5: I don't understand.
- 33:38Speaker 2: Can you sue for anything these days?
- 33:40Speaker 1: Well you can't, man, you can sue for anything because
- 33:42Speaker 1: you know, it's called a frivolous lawsuit.
- 33:44Speaker 2: If she wins any money, I hope the people.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Normally what happens is these big companies just settle out
- 33:50Speaker 1: of court. That's why you sue, because the big companies
- 33:52Speaker 1: it's just cheaper to cut a check than to go
- 33:54Speaker 1: through the legal system.
- 33:56Speaker 2: But I guess the driver is named Abraham.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Let's see if we get a driver on coop track
- 34:02Speaker 1: down a lift driver named Abraham in Detroit.
- 34:04Speaker 2: We'll see if you can get a hold. That would
- 34:05Speaker 2: be so funny. I'd love to interview him.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you did an interview with the local
- 34:10Speaker 1: Fox affiliate in Detroit. But hey, this woman, she could
- 34:14Speaker 1: be on the defensive line for the Lions if they play.
- 34:17Speaker 2: The Eagles in the playoffs. Right and come on, no, all? Right?

- 37:17Speaker 4: Garrett Wilson sparked a frenzy among Denver Broncos fans with
- 37:20Speaker 4: his social media activity activity earlier this week. Now, first
- 37:23Speaker 4: Wilson participated in an Instagram poll regarding a potential trade
- 37:26Speaker 4: to the Broncos. Then fans noticed that he started following
- 37:29Speaker 4: Bo Nicks and other Broncos players.
- 37:31Speaker 2: Oh my god, uh huh oh yeah.
- 37:34Speaker 4: Now, Ben, do you think the Jets trade Wilson, whether
- 37:36Speaker 4: to Denver or somewhere else?
- 37:40Speaker 2: Yes, I answer your question. The answer is yes.
- 37:42Speaker 1: The Jets as a franchise have underperformed. And I don't
- 37:46Speaker 1: want to say Garrett Wilson has overperformed, but the whole
- 37:50Speaker 1: thing is collapsing there. That's why they changed coaches. They
- 37:53Speaker 1: have not hit the mark there. They're gonna change quarterbacks again.
- 37:55Speaker 1: So Garrett Wilson is a highly likely rated player this offseason.
- 38:01Speaker 1: I would be surprised if he's back with the Jets next.
- 38:04Speaker 4: Now, with Jimmy Butler getting suspended by the Miami Heat
- 38:06Speaker 4: yet again, Brian wyin Horse is now reporting that a
- 38:10Speaker 4: team could now acquire Butler for cheap Ben, do you
- 38:13Speaker 4: think some team is gonna score a bargain with Jimmy Buckets.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Yes, there's a team in the G League that's going
- 38:19Speaker 1: to get What does he have any mean, I don't
- 38:20Speaker 1: even know what that means by win horse. I know
- 38:23Speaker 1: he's in the tank with all this stuff, but what
- 38:26Speaker 1: is a bargain? Like, they're not going to give up
- 38:29Speaker 1: anything to get Jimmy Butler. Of course they're gonna get
- 38:31Speaker 1: something of value for Jimmy Butler.
- 38:33Speaker 2: But it is a hot mess.
- 38:34Speaker 1: I mean, he is doing everything he can to get
- 38:36Speaker 1: out of Miami and nothing is working.
- 38:39Speaker 2: I'm skeptical that it's a bargain. He's a good player.
- 38:42Speaker 4: Next, so, the NBA released the lineup for the twenty
- 38:44Speaker 4: twenty five Dunk Contests and fans were underwhelmed, to say
- 38:47Speaker 4: the least. Then he called it the worst Dunk Contest
- 38:49Speaker 4: roster of all time. Now, Ben, let's be real, the
- 38:52Speaker 4: Dunk Contest has been bad for a long time.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Now.
- 38:54Speaker 4: Yeah, do you think there's any chance the NBA just
- 38:56Speaker 4: does away with it?
- 38:58Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 38:59Speaker 1: The NFL got rid of the Pro Bowl because the
- 39:01Speaker 1: players didn't care. They players haven't cared for probably fifteen
- 39:04Speaker 1: years or more in the Dunk Contest. So yeah, there's
- 39:06Speaker 1: a shot. It depends on the TV ratings. If people watch,
- 39:09Speaker 1: it'll stick around. It's a bunch of no names.
- 39:10Speaker 2: How do we do you pass? Hey won, that's another wind.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Put it on the board. Put it on the board.
