(01:39):
tire buying showb So our lead, this hour, play the hits,
play the hits on man, So our lead, this hour
is from the wacky world of the quarterback carousel. And
another one bites the dust, another one, another one, another one.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Bites the us.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
So the a seat on the kearras another seat has
been filled on that And Russell Wilson remember him yet?
Russell Wilson has found a home. We now, I'm old
enough to remember that Russell Wilson at one point was
considered a little bit above average, never all that great. Right, Well,

(02:21):
I don't know if you saw where he went. Maybe not,
perhaps you missed it. But we have learned now through
copious amounts of research that the quarterback who was a star,
mister unlimed ed, mister unlimited in Seattle, Russell Wilson has
a new home. He's going to take his talents to

(02:42):
the giants. He's going to the giants. The former Steelers quarterback,
former Broncos quarterback, and a former Seattle quarterback gets a
one year contract. I said number one, just wonder one.
So he gets twenty one million dollars. It's good work
if you can find it. So Russ gets that money.

(03:03):
The Giants were said to be looking around scavengering trying
to find another quarterback. They also signed Jameis Winston a
couple of days ago. So they have Jamis Winston on
one side and Russell Wilson on the other. So let
us discuss the question for the esteem panel. Is Russell
Wilson a good fit with the Giants? So I've got

(03:27):
hydrogen peroxide, gypsy King and Koala Bear, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make pharmacies grade.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Aspirin because you need pharmacy great aspen. When you hear of.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Russell Wilson and the Giants side by side like that,
what are you doing? That's a that's a disaster, is
what that is?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
All right?

Speaker 6 (03:54):
So a.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Is it a good fit?

Speaker 1 (03:58):
It is an unnecessary and I think to try to
force something in that doesn't really belong where it's going,
you're forcing it in. And the Mallor report card the
report card record for Russell Wilson going from Free Agency
Land to the Giants, the Malor report card, the Giants

(04:18):
adding Russell Wilson, that gets the D.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
They get a D.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
The Giants have now cornered the market the New York
Giants on middling to bad quarterbacks.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
So congratulations.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Now we like Jameis Winston because every once in a
while he's great.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Even when he's bad, he's spectacular.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
And the Giants have had plenty of bad quarterbacks, but
they're boring bad at least Jameis Winston's fun bad. You
want fun bad. If you're gonna be bad, you want
fun bat. You don't want bad bad. You want fun bat,
fun bad better than bad bad, And Russell Wilson's bad
bad jamis Winston's fun bat. And yet it appears that,
barring some kind of drastic turn of events here, that

(05:00):
Russ is going to be handed the Giants starting job
at least at the beginning of the year.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
And so Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Bad bad, old bad, all that bad, bad, bad, bad
bad of the bone and throwing Russ into the quarterback
room there with the Giants throwing him in there is
I guess, the keynote speaker, if you will, For the Giants,
it's kind of like mixing in hydrogen peroxide and vinegar.

(05:30):
Hydrogen peroxide and vinegar side by side. I am told
that is a combined a parasitic acid. That's a that's
a problem, turns into acid. It's a bit of an
issue there.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
But Wilson, remember a couple years back.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
When we had the pandemic there and everyone was locked
in their homes and all that, and only a few
people could go out and you had to be essential.
We found out that overnight sports radio host essential.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
We learned that.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
We also learned that Russell Wilson not essential. He is
a non essential worker at this particular point in his
NFL sojourn. And he met with the Giants a couple
of weeks ago. To my knowledge, nothing has changed in
terms of Russell Wilson's ability to throw the football. They
got together, they had a meeting, and he waited. He

(06:19):
met with the Cleveland Browns. He waited, and no one
was really all that interested. And then it turns out
that the Giants really wanted Airon Rogers and he didn't
want them, And so they circled back to add Russell Wilson,
who is like a.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Placeholder, but not a good one. You know, he's kind
of just there.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
He's a guy, and they'll talk a lot and all that.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
God speed to elak.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Neighbors, Elak neighbors there and the other pass catchers for
the Giants.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Good luck.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Now turning the page, how would you Describerussell Wilson and
his recent NFL resume. Let's let's take a couple steps
back kind of look around the room here and look
at Russell Wilson.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Look at the body of work.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
He's done here for a number of years now, not
just since he left Seattle, even the last year or
two in Seattle, and Russell Wilson went from a somewhat
reliable investment to a cabbage patch NFT. Yeah, just real
volatile and flimsy and.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
In fact not even volatile. Very rarely does he play well.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
I mean most of it's it's just garbage, just garbage
after garbage after garbage. And Russ he's like the Gypsy
king at this point. What he's been able to do.
I give him credit. Let's see, you'll give me critically,
you're gonna rip Russ. I should give the credit. They
guy credit, and I'm impressed at what he's been able
to pull off. This is one of the great hustles
that I've seen in years. It's a reminder that once

(08:02):
people make their mind up that you're one way. People
don't like to change their mind. People decided that Russell
Wilson was an above average NFL quarterback, and even though
his body of work reeks of rotting feces, yet the
NFL continues to give him opportunities. It's while he's the

(08:22):
gypsy king. At this point, Russell Wilson is the gypsy king,
not the boxer. He's a traveling gypsy that goes from
town to town to town trying to out fox authorities,
trying to evade his capture. And then Russell Wilson went
from Seattle to Denver and Pittsburgh and the Giants. He's

(08:42):
like working as a handyman. He's like a handyman guy.
He does some work, albeit poor quality works. So it's
not like he does nothing. He does work a little bit,
not great quality. And the whole time he's going around
looking for cash, and that's trying to get cash, and
he's trying to get valuable and all that, and Russ
has been able to play it off. He he looks

(09:03):
for franchises that have had emotionally unstable quarterback rooms right
that they've had bad problems, you know, trying to find
someone who's reliable under center, and he laughs all the
way to the bank. Aha, just chuckle, chuckle, chuck. I mean,
it's the funniest thing in world. Just laughs his ass

(09:25):
off all the way to the bank, and proving beyond
a reasonable doubt by the way that you once once
the mind's made up, as we said, and people determine
your one way. Even if you don't do that anymore,
you can continue to bounce around as a grifter and
make money. The Russell Wilson marching in shout of society,

(09:47):
able to hornswoggle the giants out of another ten million
dollars ten point five million in garonteed money. And we
are gonna get a lot of cringeworthy stuff. Everywhere russ
has been there's something really wack adoodle, which is kind
of fun. Right Seattle, you had the mister Unlimited, You

(10:10):
had the nano bubbles. He was pitching water that could
prevent concussions or cure concussions, one of those two things
or both. And you had in Denver he was he
was goose stepping down the aisle of a trans continental
flight while everyone's trying to sleep. When he was with
the Broncos there they were over the Atlantic Ocean and

(10:30):
he had to do the exercises there. And in Pittsburgh
there was a whole cadre of ridiculousness that Russ had
when he played in Pittsburgh. So you're gonna get what
you're gonna get hot yoga from Russ, You're gonna get
some of that. You're gonna get, you know, all kinds
of just goober activity. And it's red meat for those

(10:52):
tabloids which are still hanging on in the age of
social media. New York City still got tabloids, and so
they'll have a field day with that. Good luck and yeah,
and there's also a chance that all of this is
for not because the Giants will go out and they're going.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
To add a quarterback. That conceivable.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
They'll still add a quarterback in the draft, although I
think that's that's still a toss up at this particular
point where they do actually draft the quarterback. The rumors
are that Chadur Sanders is going to be the guy,
and we'll see whether that actually comes to fruition or not.
There's other conflicting reports about that, and so that is
where we find ourselves at this particular point.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Can someone do a wellness check on Tommy.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Cutlet's I think Tommy cutlet's not long for the Giants
because if they draft the quarterback, they're not having to
keep four quarterbacks, so you gotta get rid of one,
all right now, lean last word here with Russell Wilson
locked in for one year with the Giants, and feel
all the anngs from the Giants fans. So with Russell

(11:54):
Wilson going to the Giants, what does this mean for
the Steelers? The terrible towels of Pittsburgh, PA. So Pittsburgh
clearly did not did not think much of their quarterback
room last year, and they have decided to bring some
bleach in and fumigate it and get rid of everything,

(12:17):
and that we're done here and there's asbestis, and we
got to get rid of that too, clearly blaming Russell
Wilson and Justin Fields for the downfall of the Steelers
a year ago. Otherwise one of them would have been
brought back. They didn't even attempt to bring either one
of them back, which I agree with. They both had
stank all over them. And as they fumigate the quarterback

(12:41):
room here, it's kind.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Of obvious where this is headed.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
And I think we know. I think we know where
this is headed. And it's an A and an R.
Aaron Rogers as the Great Master Yoda sat back in
the day in Star Wars. If if one once you
start down the dark path forever, will it dominate your destiny?

Speaker 3 (13:05):
And somewhere at a location.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Maybe in Malibu, could be in northern California, could be
somewhere in the Amazon. We're not sure exactly where, but somewhere.
Aaron Rodgers is planning his trip to Pittsburgh for a
meet and greet, to be welcomed into the fold there
officially as a Pittsburgh's sether Right now though he's still
acting like a Koala bear at the San Diego Zoo.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
He's taking his time.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
He's in a darkness retreat somewhere and trying to figure
everything out here, Rogers conserving his energy. Very important to
serve your energy here and sleeping and resting much like
a Koala bear all the time there. And you've got
DK Metcalf on one side, You've got George Pickens in
the wide receiver room. If Aaron Rodgers decides at the

(13:52):
last minute, psych.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
I really want to play. I'm just kidding If.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
He decides that, then the Steelers are going to be
either rolling out the rotting carcass of Mason Rudolph or
Pittsburgh will end up doing you one.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
They're gonna have to.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Trade for Kirk Cousins or go get the past or
not from the Patriots.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Who's the backup there? Somebody like that. I mean, good luck,
good luck. I already had him in Pittsburgh back in
the day.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app or lead.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
This hour is from the Twin Cities. That's right, from
the Twin Cities.

Speaker 7 (14:34):
What happened?

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Was there a big move? No, there was not.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
But as the dust settles settles down in the quarterback
shuffle comes to a holt. We mentioned in a previous
hour that mister unlimited Russell Wilson.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Has found a new home.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
He's heading to the New York Football Giants that play
across the Hudson there in New Jersey. And so you
can eliminate him from the board. And by the process
of elimination, that means more likely than not that Aaron
Rogers is taking his talents to the Land of the
Insurer or to Malibu if they get an expansion franchise.

(15:17):
So the Vikings have decided to avoid Temptation Island. It
would appear that they have decided they're not going to
add a veteran quarterback, at least not right now.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
And that means what well.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
JJ McCarthy chimed in on his situation, if you will,
in the landscape in Minnesota and what's going on.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
So if you didn't hear what he had to say,
perhaps not.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
JJ McCarthy saying that the Vikings have not have not
informed him that he will be the team's starting quarterback
in twenty twenty five. McCarthy telling podcasts this week that
the Minnesota coaching staff have not officially named him the
top quarterback there, and so he's say, yeah, I'm just

(16:08):
going shown up. And of course he said this from
some golf course in Mexico for some reason why he
was there. I'm sure there was something he was promoting.
JJ McCarthy. So yeah, So the Vikings say they're not
pursuing Aaron Rodgers at this time, and yet they have
not named McCarthy at the top of the depth chart.

(16:29):
So let us discuss the question, what do you read
in to JJ McCarthy not not being told that he
is QB number one of the Vikings in twenty twenty five.
So I've got dressing the wheel and doctor Evil and

(16:52):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a juicy lucy. That's the local
culinary delight there in Minnesota. The juicy lose the cheeseburger
with the cheese on the inside. That's the way to
do it, all right, So we'll put all these things together.
We'll make some magic.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Not number number one, right number one.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
So in terms of McCarthy not getting the top designation
on the Minnesota depth chart, so I give this whole
thing side I.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
That's my first thought here.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
You don't get caught up in the semantics, right, don't
get caught up in the semantics and all that stuff.
It's all being telegraphed. It's all being telegraphed there in Minnesota.
You say we're not interested in Aaron Rodgers and Russell
Wilson signs justin fields. All the other quarterbacks are off
the board other than Joe Flacco and guys like that,
but the big names are off the board. So you

(17:50):
look around and you say, all right, what's going on here?
Quarterback carousels slowing.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Down, down, down, down, down down down, and and what
do you got? What do you got?

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Well, the only other option would be reacquiring Kirk Cousins
from the Atlanta football team.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Good luck on that. Yeah, that's unlikely. And so McCarthy,
you know, he says he does not. He has not been.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Formally named the verbage formerly named QB one there.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
That is dressing, is what it is.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
It is not salad dressing nan that Thousand Island or
the Devil's Blood ranch dressing.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
No, no, no, it's window dressing. That is what it is.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Coming off knee surgery in the exhibition season that cost
him his entire rookie season, his entire rookie campaign, McCarthy
was snap crackle pop.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
He was out.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
McCarthy would would have to publicly defecate on the Viking
logo at the fifty yard line and then go to
each end zone and urinate in the end zones in
order for him to not to not end up as
the starting quarterback when the season begins. And uh, do

(19:05):
you really need to formally name a starting quarterback at
this particular point. The other quarterback the Vikings have on
their roster is Brett Rippon. If Brent Rippin is on
your your roster, things are not going well. I think
you have a you have a terrible blind spot on
your football team. You just you just do and unless

(19:29):
the Vikings pull a horseshoe out of their badonka donc
and do the unthinkable, the unimaginable and pull off some
kind of trade for Justin Herbert, which had been mentioned
in some clickbait stories last week from people desperate for
attention that run logs in Minnesota.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
So outside of that, don't hold your breath.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
And so you're like, all right, at this particular point,
Mike McCarthy, not Mike McCarthy, uh, JJ McCarthy JJ McCarthy
is going to be the starting quarterback and outside of
another snap crackle, Pop is going to put up at.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Least above average number.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Sam Darnold went out and put up pretty good regular
season numbers because of the quarterback friendly offense of Kevin O'Connell.
You've got Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in a decent
tight end. Is still a little bit left in the
tank for TJ. Hockinson. So you're in decent shape now,
Page two test. Since Cinnati we Go and the ben Gals,

(20:30):
the Bengals have decided that no moss on the trade.
The trade talks involving all pro defensive star Trey Hendrickson
have come to an end. Does this mean that a
new contract is about to be announced? Not so fast,
my friend, No, that is not the case. Hendrickson was

(20:50):
given permission to shop his wars at the flea market
of the NFL, to go around and find a deal.
And how's that working out?

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Well?

Speaker 1 (20:58):
According to Jordan Volts, the guy that loves a good Starbucks,
Donning Brook Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports telling us the.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Trade is DA.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
At this point, dead on arrival, as the Bengals are
no longer no longer considering a Trey Hendrickson trade. Instead,
they want to pay him. They would like to ma
ym So how do you classify the latest reporting on
the status of Trey Hendrickson in Cincinnati?

Speaker 3 (21:34):
So it is a wheel, right, This is the wheel.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I classified as the wheel of fortune, meaning that Trey
Hendrickson is going to win a big pile of money.
On the wheel of fortune. Now, whether that's in Cincinnati
or not, I'm still not buying that. There's no chance
of trade happens these things. There's up and down, there's
the EBB and the flow of this. And so right now,

(22:00):
as of a few hours ago, Trey Hendrickson was off
the the trade market.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
But he's gonna get paid either way.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
And so it's an iffy proposition still whether the Bengals
actually pony up the money because they gave all their
wide receivers and their quarterback money, and so the defense
sucked with Trey Hendrickson. The defense can suck without Trey Hendrickson.
No contract, to my knowledge, has been signed. So as
long as a contract has not been signed, the t's
crossed and the eyes dotted. As long as that hasn't happened,

(22:28):
right then there's still some skin in the game.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
There's still some opportunity here.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
And if you look at the future, it's like a
nautical chart. Here, it's like a nautical chart. With Trey Hendrickson,
go any direction, whichever direction the tide takes you. I
can go out to see maybe a big wild wave
will come up and all that. But the Bengals it's
been about three weeks. In fact, I think it's almost

(22:56):
been exactly three weeks since the Bengals said, go out
and find a trade r Anderson. From what we're being told,
he went out and found multiple teams that were willing
to trade him and pay him. Multiple teams, all right,
we'll give you the money we got you. We're good,
we'll pay you.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
All right.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
So he went out and found teams that would like
to trade him and pay him, and the Bengals hung up.
They said, ah, we're good, we don't want to do it,
and they worked out the financials and all that. There
were some issues about the trade compensation. There's some questions
about that, but Cincinnati claims they never received a fair
market offer, although there's other people debating whether that's true

(23:33):
or not. All right now, final point, we go to
college basketball. That's right, college basketball.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Now.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
It's all dead right now until Thursday. So we have
to get through the rest of Wednesday, and then it's
on again Thursday night, the Sweet Sixteen, and that'll be
taking place Thursday, and then again on Friday, and then
by the end of the weekend we'll be down to
the final four. The thinning of the herd, the road
to the Alamo, the road to San Antonio for the final.

(24:00):
But the story in college basketball involving the portal. And
here's the question, do you have a.

Speaker 7 (24:09):
Word or words.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
For more than one thousand, more than one thousand, d
one men's basketball players that have already entered the transfer portal.
This thing just opened up on Monday, and we're already
over a thousand players that have entered the portal. So

(24:36):
I've got well, I've got a couple of words. My
words are opportunistic mercenaries. That is what these do.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
And I get it.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
I listen, I would do the same thing. I did
a show this week with a guy that was a
big star back in the eighties, Rodney Pete college star,
and I would say, hey, Rodney, you know you would
probably make a ton of money changing schools and all that,
and he and then pointed out he was a big
start USC back in the day, and he's like, I
would have gotten the bag at USC. I would not

(25:06):
have needed to go from school to school the school.
But you look around and you talk about soldiers of fortune,
and it's like Doctor Evil from Austin Powers And the
best part of the transfer portal. The very best part
is that no one can stop the players from relocating.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Can't do it.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
It's all about chasing the bag, is what it is.
The relentless pursuit of wealth and prosperity is what it is.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
If you do some Malor math. Now you do the
Malord math on this.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
There are three hundred and sixty five NC DOUBLEA Division
one schools. My math is correct, it's right around there.
So then three sixty three sixty five I think it's
three sixty five all the way from the team that
won the championship to our friend Gottlieb's Green Bay team,
so they're all over the map, and each team, as
I I understand, it has fifteen scholarships available.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
So you do the math on that.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
That means there are a maximum of scholarship athletes five
four hundred and seventy five.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Are you staying with me, There'll be a ven diagram
on this.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
So five hundred, four hundred seventy five total available scholarships
D one men's basketball. So if you take away the
players that are no longer eligible meeting, they've graduated and
they can't continue to play or they have no eligibility
to left. That means, if my math or math is correct,
that two out of every ten college basketball players have

(26:42):
requested to go to a different school twenty percent. And
it's only been a day now. A lot of these
deals are done way in advance. These guys are out
shopping their wares in the transfer portal even before the
transfer portal opens up, and they've got a little side hustle,
little deal, little shuffle, and they find new teams.

Speaker 2 (27:02):

That's not really there's nothing on my way, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
It's not convenience, it's that convenient for you to make
it's out of you.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
We're way far away from where you live. And uh.

Speaker 7 (27:47):
Also, I'm you know, I'm I've got normal sleep schedule now.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
So now you're just rubbing in, Eddie. Now you're rubbing
it in that you're not a nocturnal place anymore. Yeah,
he comes in here and he throws a haymaker right
away at it.

Speaker 6 (27:59):
How do you just switch to the day, sleeping hour.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
The dreaded day.

Speaker 7 (28:02):
I'm weird, Lorena. It just it's I just did it.
It wasn't hard. I just really Yeah. I think I
told you guys when I was still here that anytime
I lay my head down, if it's dark and quiet,
off all asleep at any time of the day. So
it's very unusual. But yeah, so it's weird. It's weird
getting up at like nine in the morning and doing things.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
It's very unusually. No, I can.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
I don't think even if I didn't have this job,
I don't think I would get up early and all that.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
So I've always been more of a nocturnal person. But
I did.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
I saw you the Charger games a few times in
the NFL games. I tried to see you at a
King's game. Yeah, this is the King's pr staff who
I used to have a good relationship with and even right.

Speaker 7 (28:42):
Back to me, they've got new people there.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Oh maybe that's the problem. Yeah, maybe I emailed the
old people. Maybe the email didn't bounce back. So I
was like I told that. I was like, I'm going
to meet you at a King's game, and I was
going to go out there and kind of get into
the can.

Speaker 7 (28:56):
They're at hot right now.

this point. It seems like I don't know, uh, but.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
The other time you could stop it, you could we could.

Speaker 7 (29:32):
But it just it would you know, it would disappoint
a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
And yeah, some people anyway. Uh.

The other one though, Yeah, I'm actually getting paid for that,
the La Kings one.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Bet on that. I'll tell you. I'll bet you ten
grand right now, about ten thousand nothing.

Speaker 8 (36:36):
I would rather bet that they're gonna lose their next game.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Don't bet bet anything.

Speaker 6 (36:40):
He still doesn't pay off.

Speaker 7 (36:43):
At this point. It would be disappointing if he did. Right.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
No, I pay off my bet.

Speaker 8 (36:47):
Pay I ate the balls I heard from Eddie.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
I think I don't believe that.

Speaker 6 (36:52):
I've literally never seen you like properly payoff bet.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
I wore a paper bag in my head one time
for a show because the Clippers lost to the Cavaliers.

Speaker 7 (37:02):
Well, I think you kind of just did that because
of you know.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
No.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
No, the cave is after Lebron went to Miami and
the Calves, they were one loss away from setting the
North American record for most consecutive losses and they beat
the Clippers, and I was so embarrassed.

Speaker 7 (37:18):
I said, if they lose that game, I want to
put a paperback. It was the one time he bought pizza.
One time, I remember, I did, I bought pizza.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Remember that.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Remember when I walked to Arizona because of the Arizona
Wildcast lost to Illinois and the n cuale.

Speaker 7 (37:30):
A tournament that was a long time ago. And you
did not do that?

Speaker 3 (37:33):
I did? I did. I told management.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
I took two steps towards Arizona and LAE.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
They give a well Andrew Ashwood, no know he did.
He said, Ben, you're gonna die.

Speaker 7 (37:43):
And I thought it would have been great publicity.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
And then you're well, no, I said, I said it
would be good. And then we did the math on
how long it would have taken me to walk to Arizona,
and it would have taken about four months. And they said,
we don't think we could do that. For I could
probably walk there in four months.

Speaker 7 (37:57):
Now now now, back then, no, you would have you
would have died. You probably would have died. Actually, yeah, what.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
Depends what time of the year it was. But that's
where Sean lives. In serious Seawan in Arizona. You like
to heat their show and you're a big fan of
the heat.

Speaker 8 (38:07):
Yeah, I've gotten it doesn't really get to me now.
It's like it's it's only here for like three months,
and then that's it.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
It's only one hundred and thirty degrees for three months.
What's the big deal? Right, just turn the AC on.
You're good to go on that.

Speaker 8 (38:19):
Yeah, it was. It's also monsoon time too, because you
know we got the rain.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
Oh yeah, monsoon.

Speaker 8 (38:25):
That's our rainy season in late June the early September.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Any traveling any have you been able to do any traveling?
And you're locked in with hockey, so you can't go anywhere.
Your same issues. You never be traveler though you go
like for a football season.

Speaker 7 (38:39):
You go somewhere. Yeah, we'll go somewhere. We're going to
the Hall of Fame again.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Oh yeah, speaking of a how now I'm trying.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
To get to Ohio for a mallor meet and greet,
and I don't want to be offended.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
I don't want to offend anyone.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
However, I didn't say, but however, So there's a listener
who's a big fan of the show who runs this
restaurant bar in Ohio.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
Right, He's like, where in Ohio? Well, here's the thing.
All right, this is the problem.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
So he's been, he's been contact me. He's very kind
of loves to show you listen to the podcast they
do on the weekends. He's a big fan, and he's like, hey,
I want you to come to my establishment.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
And I was like okay.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
And so then I did a little research over the
last couple of days trying to figure out travel arrangements
to get because I got to pay out of pocket.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
The company doesn't pay for this stuff. I pay out
of my pocket. So I was going to go. And
then it's in Columbus, Ohio.

Speaker 7 (39:30):
There is strong with them.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
There's no direct flights to Columbus, Ohio. It's an all.
It's like an eight hour minimum situation, which means like
a three hour layover. That's minimum, and most is like
twelve hours, thirteen four.

Speaker 7 (39:43):
When you went to South Carolina, I'm sure there was
no direct flight for wherever it was he went there.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
It wasn't actually that because you drove. We drove, we flew,
flew to Atlanta and then it took a little puddle
jumper to Myrtle Beach and then drove from Myrtle Beach,
And wasn't that bad. But this would be like a
whole thing. So I'm thinking maybe I should do like Cincinnati.
Well you don't give me the evilaiyah, I think Cincinnati
or Cleveland because there's more flights to those places.

Speaker 7 (40:07):
Yeah, we'll fly into Cleveland and drive down there.

Speaker 8 (40:10):
And you've checked every airline then for no direct flights and.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
You no, there's no direct flights to Columbus from l A.
I know that.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
I don't think there's direct flights to Cleveland either. I
think Cincinnati.

Speaker 8 (40:22):
Unfortunately, there lines that runs.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
He's taking every train line.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Have you taken just about every train line at Amshrak
has at this point.

Speaker 8 (40:34):
I've taken the Northern, Empire Builder and Capitol limited routes,
but the Empire Builder.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Have you taken the one from like up the I
ninety five corridor from like Boston down the East coast?
Have you done that one? I've taken the l that's
the one from like Boston to d C or.

Speaker 8 (40:49):
Whatever, and yeah, I took it from DC to New
York and then I took a commuter to the EWR.

Speaker 7 (40:54):
We should get sewn like a train podcast.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
Yeah, do you have miniature trains? You have like a
ain set at home. Do you have those trains.

Speaker 8 (41:01):
You know what some my uncle's friend of the my
uncle's friend of the family. Yeah, he gave me one
that he made and I put it right right.

Speaker 7 (41:11):
Uh right right?

Speaker 3 (41:13):
Can you mess it up or something like that, You
screwed it up?

Speaker 8 (41:15):
No, I didn't, it didn't. It's up there all by
itself and I haven't touched it since I put it there.

Speaker 6 (41:19):
Wait, so do you only you only know the Amtrak routes?

Speaker 8 (41:22):
Well, I know what else? Is there several commuter routes
like Metrolink and New Jersey Transit and Sound Transit and
all that.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
You have to travel all the countries, Like don't they
have a train that goes by through Siberia and Russia?
Isn't there like a Russian train that goes all the
way through Siberia. You can take that and go to China.
I'm sure they got a train in China.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
You can go all of them, you know.

Speaker 8 (41:40):
I think the biggest ones they have are the ones
that go out of King's Cross in the UK. I
think that's one of the biggest.

Speaker 6 (41:46):
King's Cross And that's where Harry Potter goes to get
to Hogwarts.

Speaker 7 (41:50):
Yeah, how about Japanese bullet trains.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Oh, yeah, my dad did that.

Speaker 8 (41:54):
He was I think in Germany they have some of
those too, those bullet lines.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Or now Japanese known for the bullet train though for that.

Speaker 8 (42:01):
Right about China, I think China has someone too.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Oh, the China has the train that goes through the building.
I saw video and yeah, I did see that.

Speaker 7 (42:08):
Lorraina saw the baseball game in China.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
She was telling me.

Speaker 6 (42:15):
The bullet trains in China. In Japan, the shin Consin,
they go so fast. When we were on when my
wife and I were on our honeymoon, we got on
the shin Consin going the wrong direction, and the problem
we just took a nap eight. I didn't realize for
two hours we were on the other side of Japan.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
But only take your ticket and say hey, you're on
the wrong train. Then nobody took the ticket. They just
said they just let you go.

Speaker 6 (42:44):
And because you get you like you know, the you
scan the ticket to get into the I don't know
what the platform, and then you just you're supposed to
get on the train going the correct direction.

Speaker 8 (42:57):
So it's like bart I guess in a way.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
Yeah, it's very similar to part.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Yes, yes, the trains in Japan and bart yes, a
few less vagrants in Japan.

Speaker 8 (43:09):
I would think it sounds like what I'd use the
clipper card for scanning it to go in and tap
again to go out.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Okay, there's a there's a shot. We got Eddie hanging
out with us, though you didn't.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
Be here for a while, right, you're not going anywhere?

Speaker 7 (43:21):
R Yeah, you know. I want to give a shout
out to Sure when the judge. We don't do shout
outs a I just did it. We don't do. It's
not a morning show.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
We don't do.

Speaker 7 (43:29):
He is listening to the show. Big fan of the
show is that former judge here in Lawson. Oh nice man,
Sure when the judge? Yeah, awesome.
