Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, it's our numb on our number
one of the original Recipe podcast. Happy Friday to you.
It's the thirteenth day of December. Before we tell you
what's coming up here in our number one of the pod,
let me remind you that today being Friday, that means
we have other things for you to enjoy, including Benny

(00:22):
Versus the Penny Man versus Metal. Can I defeat a
coin picking NFL games against the spread? That's a TV show?
Can you believe they gave me a TV show? How
crazy is that? It's nuts right, I'm still blown away
by that, but I'd love for you to watch it.
It's on all the NBC regional cable channels around the country,
also available on the Peacock app, streaming all weekend long

(00:46):
starting later today. It airs today Saturday and then again
on Sunday in the morning before kickoff of the Sunday Games.
It's Benny Versus the Penny. You can live dangerously and
enjoy that show. Also with our podcast today, we'll have
a special tribute to our friend, the late great Skeeter
in Montana. I'll take you behind the scenes on the

(01:10):
loss of Skeeter. We'll learn a little bit about him,
and we'll have some other fun things in there as
well as we honor the memory of the great Skeeter
in Montana was a show contributor and left a very
big mark on this show. We'll have that. But here
a hour number one Thursday Night Football, the Rams and
the Niners, and it was La winning in a battle
of field goals. What does this lass say about Kyle

(01:33):
Shanahan's forty nine ers and how should the forty nine
ers handle the amazing story of Devondre Campbell, defensive player
who quit in the middle of a game. He quit?
Who does that? He did it? Defondre Campbell quit? All right?
What's your level of confidence? Also in Sean mcvay's Rams
now winning the NFC West is their neck and neck

(01:53):
with Seattle. We'll get to all that and more right
now here. It is our number one in case of
fools goal, Well, come in, not big dating. On another
night of the Benmallor Show. We are in the air

(02:15):
ywhere waddling. As we know, even our commercials have some
rhythm to them. Coast to coast, quarter to border and
beyond on the mast and rambunctiously powerful microphones of FSR
amminating live from the Rock also known as the rock
bottom of the broadcast schedule, the dreaded overnight shift. We're

(02:38):
broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyrack dot
com will help you get there and on matt selection
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten
thousand recommended installers. I know Dad Gummitt likes that number.
Ten thousand. Tyraq dot com the waittire buying shure b

(03:04):
So our lead this hour from the NFL from the
Bay Area. That is where we will begin play the
hit small Man play there. So brock Purty, what a
chicken soup for the soul story. Brock Purty had been
NFL nobody, unwanted, last player picked and then part of
a Niner team that lost in the Super Bowl, the

(03:27):
runner up forty nine ers look at a stay alive,
have a great chance as it was going into the
game to make the playoffs. The Niners playoff chase not
much of a chase at all right now, and they
went against Matthew Stafford and the Lrims. They visited Santa
Clair there in an NFC West Donnybrook and it was

(03:47):
a rainy night California cool. Not East Coast cool, not
Midwest cool, but California cool with some rain. A Week
fifteen NFL card in a way, al Michaels was it.
You know, it's a big game when Michael's calls the game.
It's how Michaels, al F and Michaels and Herbie kirk
Kirbstreet were there for the Amazon. And I don't know

(04:07):
if you watched this or not. We were watching it,
of course we were, and then we watched. If you didn't,
well it's our good Mitch for the day. We watched
for you. The great Joshua Carty who a kicker, an
idiot kicker, Joshua Carty the headliner. He kicked not one,
not two, not three, but four four field goals and
the Rams survive a clunker and beat the forty nine

(04:32):
Ers twelve to six on a Thursday night in what
is a very important pivot point game in the NFC
West playoff race. As one of these teams they all
wear the dunch cap in the NFC West, but one
of them are going to the playoffs as a division
winner and a home playoff game. This was the only
NFL game this year that did not have at least

(04:54):
one touchdown. This was it. This was it a throwback,
as Al Michael's point out out on the broadcast to
that dreadful Colt Bronco game a few years ago, but
that the Rams now move within a half game of
division leading Seattle. Don't choke, gino, Do not choke when
you got green bag coming in on Monday. Do not choke.

(05:15):
I think it's Monday. It is Sunday and Monday. But
don't choke, gino. Now the forty nine Ers are now
five and eight. Using malor math, that tells me they
are three games under five hundred. They led this game
six to three heading the fourth quarter. They obviously do
not win the game, and now it's almost over. So

(05:36):
let us discuss the question what does this loss say
about Kyle Shanahan's forty nine Ers. So I've got fat lady,
rusted out, containership, and Swiss army knife, and we will
combine all of these things together and that we are
going to make some sour dough bread. Of course, the

(05:57):
Niners are just sour. They're not the dough, they're not
the bread. They're just soud. So a to be fair,
this was a bumpy ride. All season. It's been a
pumpy ride, and not all precincts are reporting in. But
the Ben Mallor Show is calling this election over. The
forty nine Ers done right now. In the bowels of

(06:20):
the team facility, the fat Lady is stretching and warming
up her vocal cords. Turn out the last the parties over.
It was a nice run, will it lasted? I feel
bad for Nesto and some of the super fans of
the show in the Bay Area who loved the Niners.
But you guys have had it good the last couple

(06:41):
of years. An NFC champ to chump. That's the story
of the forty nine ers. The Niners a shell of
what they had been, and it's really the perfect storm
this year. It's I and I, I and I, injuries
and incompetence, rock party. This is an ugly situation about
opening up Pandora's box. Brock Purdy, the poster boy here

(07:04):
on this night, looking like mister Irrelevant for the forty
nine Ers, completed less than fifty percent of his passes,
less than fifty percent of his passes, averaged less than
five yards per pass on a rainy night in Northern California. Obviously,
no touchdowns, had an interception, a passer rating below fifty,

(07:25):
a passer rating below fifty, and that means that brock
Purty played like a nag, not a jag. A jag
is just a guy. A nag is not a guy.
He's not a guy. You're not that guy, Palt, You're
not that guy. And that opens up a major can
of worms here because the Niners that have to make
a decision do you pay him or not? Do you
give him the big money? Is there a world where

(07:48):
the forty nine ers would trade brock Purdy and then
go out and try to sign Sam Darnold. I say
there is that world, all right, and they know behind
this and there I said this public. But this was
not a ringing endorsement, not a sizzle. Real game by
any means. For brock Purty against a RAM team that
has been up and down on defense, he looks very pedestrian.

(08:09):
Not a guy that stirs the drink, not a guy
that changes the game. And then you've got Kyle Shanahan,
who has mastered blowing leads, and not only is the
fat Lady singing, also Porky Pig is saying, uh, that's
all folks, all right now page two, Now we get
to the good stuff. A juicy subplot, a very juicy

(08:31):
subplot emerged after the game. So the story within the story.
Now what is the juicy subplot? You're asking, what is it? Well,
I'll tell you what it is. So forty nine Er
coach Kyle Shanahan let us know that linebacker Devondre Campbell
had decided he had had enough and he took his

(08:53):
ball and went home metaphorically. Of course, he didn't take
the ball, he just walked off the field. So Kyle
Shanahan and revealing that the linebacker Devondre Campbell decided he
did not want to play anymore. I'm good, coach, I
don't want to play. And he left in the middle
of the game. He said, I'm out of here. He

(09:14):
left the field in the third quarter. Now, Shanahan was
noncommittal immediately following the game regarding Campbell's future with the
forty niner, but he did say that someone who doesn't
want to play doesn't have a spot on his team. Really,
that's a bold take, all right, So how should the

(09:35):
forty nine ers handle Devondre Campbell quitting in the middle
of a game, an island dame who cares if an
island game or not. He quit, So the first thought
is obvious, this is a dereliction of duties. You left
your post, and so what the Niners have to do here?
Friendly advice unsolicited advice for the Niners. You treat Campbell

(09:57):
like an old, rusted out container ship out in the
Pacific Ocean. He must be decommissioned. The forty nine Ers
have been infected this season by dark energy. I don't
know where it came from, but it's there. And Devondre Campbell,
he goes ay wall. He's not a foxhole guy. He's
not a huddle guy, and he's not a football player.

(10:19):
He's a waiver wire guy, is what he is, right,
and let let him go see a therapist or whatever
and work out his issues. But he's not in the NFL.
There's no place for that in the NFL, because I'm
sure there's plenty of other guys in the Niners that
probably wanted to walk off the field and quit too,
the way they were playing, but they didn't. Right, you
got to finish what you start. The Code of the West,
you finish what you start. Bad job by him. All right,

(10:41):
last word, let's go to the winning locker room where
you can ram it all day and you can ram
it all night. And that's what the Rams did. So
what is your level of confidence in Sean mcvay's lrims
after winning this game? What is your level of confidence
in the Rams winning the NFCS. So I'm gonna go first,

(11:03):
Malord scale of confidence one to five, with five meaning
it is a garon ta a garron t So I
am at a four. Okay, I'm at a four unexpected goodness.
That's how I will phrase this unexpected goodness. And now
you know some of you, know, those of you that

(11:24):
actually pay attention. But I realized that most people that
listen to audio content only hear a fraction of what
I'm saying, only process You only process a little bit
of what I'm saying. But I like the Rams. I
grew up that was as Looting Tunes teleprompter Tom says
on the TV show that is the team of my youth,
the l A Rams. I loved him when I was
a kid, and now as an adult, I'm a jaded

(11:46):
middle aged man. So I just like whoever I bet on.
But I still have a place in my heart for
the Rams. And listen, we thought going in this game,
I thought the Rams are gonna lose this game, and
they impressed me. In years past that would have been
in l I don't care how bad the Niners were
playing going to the game. The Rams would have found
a way to gag that game, and that has been

(12:09):
the kryptonite for Sean McVay. Kyle Shanahan has had mcvay's number.
The Niners have had good teams in the regular season.
Of course, the biggest matchup between Shanahan McVay was in
the NFC Championship Game, a game I was lucky enough
to be at and a few years ago, and the
Rams won that game to go to the Super Bowl.
But that aside. You look at the ingredients here, rainy

(12:32):
cool night, forty nine ers have had their number, short week,
a defense that has not played particularly well, spotty defense
for the Rams, all the ingredients for a free fall,
a gag in years past. But instead the Rams win

(12:54):
a game without a touchdown for the first time since
it was twenty sixteen, the last time a Ram team
won a game where they did not score a touchdown.
They showed moxie. They showed dumption, grit, all those big words,
all that stuff, and the thing to me that I'm
gonna take away from this game, and I jotted this

(13:15):
down on the notes thing on my iPhone, whatever your call.
I think it's called the notes thing. So Matthew Stafford
bridging the third quarter in the fourth quarter, to me,
this was a defining moment, a point of demarcation for
the Rams and for the entire season. They orchestrated a
seventeen play, nine minute and forty five second drive. They

(13:38):
just eight the clock up. They ended up only getting
a field goal. But that's the kind of a drive.
If you can bottle that up, if you're the Rams,
if you can bottle that up and do that down
the line in a playoff game, that's the kind of
thing that gets you to beat a big bad Lion
team or a big bad thing Philadelphi Eagle team in

(14:02):
a playoff match. You hold the ball for nine minutes
and forty something seconds on a drive, and it was
the game time was thirty five minutes in favor of
the Rams. The Niners had it for less than twenty
five minutes, so it was a huge advantage for the
Rams in time of possession and they ran I think

(14:22):
it was twelve more players which were you know, is
a lot, but it could have been worse. Could have
been a lot worse. So just all around for the
La Rams, a big time performance and the Rams the
last week less than a week, the Rams have shown
to be a Swiss army knife team. You don't want
to play a Swiss army knife team. You don't. And

(14:44):
I was on with my friend Bob Fesco on his
show in Kansas City yesterday in the morning and I
was half asleep, half awake, one of those deals with
Dad Dusty who's on that show. He was like, there's
no team you'd rather play or not want to play
than the Rams. And I was like, well, yeah, I
don't trust the defense. But the fact that the Rams
were able to win a game where it was an
absolute Barton burner with the Buffalo Bills and they outlasted

(15:08):
Josh Allen, giving up six touchdowns, and now they win
a slugfest, just an ugly game with the Niners. That
is winning Swiss army knife style, winning multiple ways, use
the large blade, you can use the bottle opener. All
that's of the corkscrew, any of those things. So that
does bud Well and the Rams are on brand. They

(15:31):
are one. They were one and four to start the year.
The Rams are seven and two since that one and
four start, and they already have a win in hand
over the Seattle football team, right they won that game
in Seattle, So you're looking at that, and that's who
they're chasing right now. The Cardinals are falling apart in
the division, and the Rams they have the Jets, the

(15:54):
Cardinals and the Seahawks that close out the year. They
should win every one of those games. They will be
favored in every one of those games to close the
year out. Cardinals and Seahawks at home, Jets in Jersey.
And so they're set up now, don't screw up. That's
really the story here. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
If you would like to be part of this, you

(16:17):
enjoin us. And there are lines up, in fact, every line.
So it's not a newby that we had that last night.
Thanks to everyone that called in. Some of you call
you know, call you emailed me. They tried to get in.
I couldn't get I don't know what to tell you.
I gave out the number you call up if somebody
answers the answer, but we'll have another newby and that
we'll try to do that more often and bring new
people in. I was, I was telling people, it's bragging

(16:40):
about Danny DeVito calling the show. You're happy that we
have you know, I know he called before, but I'd
forgotten and he called back. You know, Danny DeVito. Times
are tough in Hollywood. He's now working as a trash
man in Boston, but he listens all night. So I
was flattered by that. We learn We learned that again.
We're reminded of that on a newby Night. If you
would like to be part eight seven seven ninety nine
on five eight seven, seven nine nine six six three

(17:03):
sixty nine, also on X at Ben Malor, that is
at Ben Mahlor, if you would like to be part
of the program. A changing of the guard, a changing
of the guard of sorts in the NFL. What is
that all about? Will get to it and we will.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Do it.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Next.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio Applia will.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Tune into the listen POLICITI it listened to the best
tshe on.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
Thenal Alexis the seven Drag Queen only as sevents.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Actually I think gets it if you count the one
back gross. One of Alexis rivals challenged him to an
actor gun, but he decided to flee. Now rock Sound's
a royalty.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
It is I Bill Miller, the Happy Holidays, getting you
in the holiday street, came to shave Thursday into a Friday.
Now I've gotten on the Ben Malors Show. And this
is the part I tell you that Ben does not
have a lot to say and he needs your help.
You can interact with the program and be part of it.
It's the advantage. You have a competitive advantage over those

(18:57):
I think daytime people that only hear the rebroadcast on
the podcast. So you can be part of it. Right now,
said Ben. A message at Ben mallor Lorraine Uh, the
FSR Tech Queen and Kooper Loop at all Bronco fan
and they will likely ignore you, but your message may
be read on the air. And now we get back

(19:18):
to a man who has little say and a lot of.

Speaker 6 (19:22):
Hats Benny blowhard, Phil I heard that Bill, you schmuck
late Night drug Tester rights, and we began with the
forty nine ers and the Rams as the Rams get
her done.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
A surprising win for the Rams. They don't normally win
those type of games. What they did. Late Night Drug
Tester says, high priced niners out with plenty of shopping
days until Christmas and Hanukkah, players quitting after halftime, and
the big question mark a quarterback. Even Hallmark couldn't come
up with a miracle happy ending. It's the the ebb

(19:58):
and floor, It's a seesaw, you go up, you go down,
and all that. Pennyman says, A forty nine of locker
room in shambles. He says, all right, who else do
we have? Page down? Dread Pie writes and says, what's
wrong with needing to take the fourth quarter off? Campbell
just needed a little break. Look at how many radio

(20:20):
shows replay the first hour in the fourth hour. It
seems like the same thing, doesn't it. Yeah, there's a
lot of that. Yeah, that's a There was a guy
that used to host a nighttime show at our place
who sometimes he had a four hour show. Sometimes he
would do two hours and just replay the first two
hours and leave do like a two hour show. There
was one night the guy famously, it's a famous Fox

(20:41):
Sports radio story. He did a four hour show. He
did one hour and they rebroadcast it the rest of
the night. That is the epitome of laziness. Impressive. Yes,
he got away with it. Well not if he's not
working anymore, but he got there. No Stradinas rights in Lorrain,
and you know who No Stradina's is. Yeah, he's only
your p one. Yeah, he's in Seattle. I met him,

(21:01):
good dude. He hates Weedman, hippie. He was at the
Seattle Mallard meet and greet and he brought signs with
weed Man's picture saying no weed Man. They had him
crossed out. I remember that. Actually I kept that. I
think I have that in my office here in my studio.
I think anyway, no studious rights, and it says the
Rams are frauds. He says they mustered only five field

(21:24):
goals against a beat up and toothless San Francisco team.
The good guys in Seattle are winning the NFC West
bat job by you. All right, only field goals? I
think I said five. Oh he's had only field goals. Yeah,
well again that shows you. Versatility is what it shows you.
It's like being an actor. You don't know this, no studious,

(21:47):
but I'm a thespian. And as an actor you have
to have a wide range. You can't just be pigeonholed.
As a character actor. You have to be able to
do a number of different roles from dramatic to comedy.
And the Rams can do it all. Ryan writes in says,
Aaron Donald, get your cleats back on. You can ram

(22:08):
it all day and you can ram it all night. Yeah,
Gunner leading right now. It's a very closer race to
be the worst caller on the show. That is the
highest honor most radio shows. When we do the Benny Awards,
which come around in the spring of twenty twenty five,
most of the time you would like to be the

(22:30):
top caller. But on this show, it is much more
competitive to be the worst caller. And Gunner right now
is out in front with the race is still going on.
But man, is he bad is a caller and he's
also bad on on X He says, your rams will
mess it up and somehow lose two out of three. Okay, pal,

(22:51):
there you go. G Man J in Chicago he knows
bad football. He's watched the Bears. He says, nobody deserved
to win that Thursday night game. That was like watch
Poppy kick lint out of his belly butt or pick
lint out of his belly button. We haven't heard from
Poppy this week. I don't know what happened. I have
no idea. Terry in England, the sad broken forty nine

(23:14):
er apologist Terry in England says, the Rams a Swiss
army knife. They'll get walloped by the Lions or the
Eagles in the playoffs. Stop being silly, ben I'm not
being a silly. The Rams did go to overtime with
the Lions in Game one, and they did get smacked
around by the Eagles when they played in the regular season.
Truck stop Fungus rites in again. Big night here, truck

(23:37):
stop fungus, he says. I believe I saw Bill Miller
working as a lot lizard at the truck stop in Barstow.
Give him a rays, Benjamin, Wow, Now that is something.
I did not know what that term was until I
started doing the show. In fact, I learned from moving
man matt Our guy in Boston. When we met him.

(23:57):
He was at work and came out to the truck
stop and he explained to me that there are these
things called lot lizards. It's a rare lizard, very exotic.
It's a lizard that gives pleasure. It is only seen
at truck stops for some reason. It's not you can't
find it out in the Amazon. And it's something that

(24:20):
really just truck drivers know about, and nobody else really
knows about that world. And I learned about it. I
felt like I was allowed the secrets of the trucking
world when I was told that. Yeah. Absolutely, nature Boy
writes and says, it's probably a bad sign when one
of your players gets shot in the chest. Well, it's
a good sign he survived. The bad sign would have

(24:42):
been if that was it lights out game over, that
would have been a bad sign. A nature Boy says. Also,
you're going to sound foolish when Seattle takes the way, Well,
Seattle's gonna lose to Green Bay, so that's the Rams
will then be even with them, and they've got a
game in hand, so they'll have the tiebreaker and then
it'll come down to that final game of the year.
That's that's where I am, all right, it is a

(25:04):
Bean mallor show. Let's go now. I mentioned I smoked
this guy out. This is the biggest forty nine er
fan I know, the biggest Niner fan I know from
head to tall. Though he didn't lose a band and
he had to wear ram gear at the Las Vegas
mallor meet and greet. But the great Ernesto in the
Bay Area. Hello, Ernesto, My condolences are Nesto, my condolences. Yeah, hey,

(25:31):
I give you credit. Unlike those Weasley Bills fans who
didn't show up, and we have like one Bills fan
called up Bill's Moffy when they win. They call up
all the time, and they had one guy called it
was like two days after the Bills game. I'll give
you credit in Nesto, you're right there, You're the first call.
Good job by you. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (25:47):
We were terrible, terrible, terrible and really bad.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah. Yeah. What do you do with brock Purty? Like
brock Purty was? He looked like he should. He looked
like one of the Jets quarterbacks, which is not a compliment.

Speaker 7 (26:00):
I think it's time for Shanahanigo. We should check Curt
into the Chicago Bears, all.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Right, send that out coupon X. Ernesto a number one.
This is a top level forty nine er fan. This
is not a fly by night Niner fan. Ernesto. Would
you like to have the ghost of Bill Walsh returned
as the forty nine er coach?

Speaker 8 (26:19):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Okay, we'll go that. Well, well, well, channel, We'll get
a medium and we'll channel. We'll get a WIGI board
and we'll talk to wall see if he wants to
come up back and coach from the other But we
just have an AI version of Bill Walsh. Ernesto.

Speaker 7 (26:31):
Yeah, I think your rams are taking it all. They're
gonna win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Oh my god. Now that some people would say, Nesta,
that's sucking up to me. But I think you're just
You're unbiased, right, You're this is a bipartisan issue. You
you just no ball, Ernesto. You know football, That's what
it's all about, right exactly.

Speaker 7 (26:51):
He if Weed met hippies listening, I just need him
to move back to Lincoln Road.

place to stay because he said I had him kidnap
when I we we had a listener, give him a
place to day? All right, thank you for Nesto. All right,

good fan. That's a solid fan, not a fraud fan.
Fraud fan doesn't call up in their team loses, they
don't call up and their team wins. That's a fraud fan.
I see how annoyed you guys, are you troll?

Speaker 7 (28:01):
Yeah?

Now Terry in England right now is he's drinking vodka?
The whole bottle of vodka. He can't figure out what's

Speaker 1 (32:40):
So all right, thank you, all right, all right, thank you,

real talk doing some comedy there working, he's working blue.
You know he didn't curse, technically, technically he did not curse.
He just tap danced around. Yeah, we did not have

(33:01):
to dump that phone call. Yeah, that made made the show.
Probably shouldn't have made the show, but it made the show. Yeah. Absolutely.
Jason the Diamond Man rights and says, how do the
forty nine ers always get players who quit? Wasn't it
Vernon Davis who quit and led to Mike Singletary's greatest
moment as coach cannot win, cannot do it. Yeah, there

(33:24):
you go, perfect another perfect opening monologue. Ten thousand on
a scale of zero to ten thousand. Yeah, the Mic
Singletary rant was an all timer. Cannot play with them,
cannot will with them, cannot coach with them. I want winners.
I want people to want to win. That was pretty good.

(33:50):
That was solid. It is the Ben Mallor Show. Let's
say hello to Andrea in Berkeley. She's got the star
chart out to break down what kind of bad mojo
the forty nine ers find themselves in right now?

Speaker 8 (34:07):
Yeah, that was a tough one to watch.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Ben, how are you doing well. It was an enjoyable
ending for me, but not not a good game.

Speaker 8 (34:16):
Yeah. You know what was really weird the player that
didn't want to play Devondre Campbell. And I looked at
his chart. He's born July first, nineteen ninety three, and
that was a very strange response. When Shanahan wanted to
put him in. He goes, no, I don't want to play,

(34:38):
And I looked up his atrocity chart and sure enough,
he's a moody cancer and cancers can be kind of
private and secretive, so there's probably more than meets the
eye that's going on behind.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Seen he's a transformer, more than meets the eye.

Speaker 8 (34:54):
Yeah, there you go. But you know the forty nine ers,
I mean they're saying cut him. You know, Oh, you
just deserted your team when they needed you. So you
know the thing about cancers is they can be very
hyper sensitive and touchy and brooding and withdrawn. So this
is someone who is just going through his own stuff

(35:17):
and kind of took it out on the team at
one of the worst times. So that was insult to injury,
as the saying goes. So that was just tough, and
obviously their playoff chances have pretty much evaporated, so that was,
you know, another they lose another winnable game. They fall
twelve six, So that was a tough one to watch.

(35:40):
And even Purdy, who's a Capricorn, he was really hard
on himself, so, you know, slim to impossible, and you.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Would think he would think he lost some money. Yeah,
everyone gets spent a time, but the way he played
was so futile that you had to lose a little
bit of money to do some money.

Speaker 8 (36:00):
And believe me, that's the last thing Capricorns want to do.
But be that as it may. And on a happier note,
the Mets signed Juan Soto and that was quite a scene.
I can't remember when it was such an intense press
conference in celebration.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
It was really well, it was a religious revival.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
It is what it was.

Speaker 8 (36:21):
It was.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yeah, we'll talk more about that later. Juan Soto introduct
introduced as a New York met there and I did watch.
It happened while I was so busy, but I did
watch for the Yeah.

Speaker 8 (36:33):
Note videos, you know, Scorpios are all about transformation. He's
October twenty fifth, and if there's any team that could
use transformation. It's the Mets, and I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
I don't know if Wan Soto's married. It's going to
be tough to find someone that loves Wan Soto more
than Juan Soto, so it's going to be difficult for him.
But anyway, all right, well, Andrea, thank you Virgo in
service on X there, Virgo in service, you can sell
out to Andrew. Have a great weekend.

Speaker 8 (36:58):
Thank you for you didn't take good care.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
There she go, I enjoy your bubble back there. All right,
there she goes, hanging out. I'm gonna go out and
hug a tree right now, our friend Andrea in the
Bay Area. And the changing of the guard. Changing of
the guard that would be in the NFC West where
Kyron Williams, who went over one hundred yards with the Rams,
who's asked about sweeping the forty nine ers this season,
he says, we meaning the Rams are the big brothers.

(37:24):

Golden domer from Notre Dame, says that the Rams are
now the big brothers in that NFC West, the NFC West,

What is the answer? And let's see does anyone know
the answer? A lot of people eating shots at real
talking rightfully. So who else do we have to see?
Page down? Stuck in Sacramento says that would be San
Diego Chargers. Great, Ryan Leaf, that's the way to go.
