Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one and the
Ben Malor Show is happy to present Scandal Radio from
the Big ten, a college football story that's extra juicy.
Can you unpack your thoughts on the downfall of Charon

(00:20):
Moore as the football coach or the Michigan Wolverines. What
a scandal this is. We'll get into the nitty gritty
of it. Also, Summer saying the stank from the Charon
Moore scandal will put a fog over the Michigan football
program for years to come. Where do you fall on
this one? And where does Michigan turn for its next

(00:41):
full time head coach? Slate in the coaching carousel and
Michigan is up against it. We'll talk about all that
and more right now as we begin this. We were
up all night this Thursday, December eleventh podcast. Here it
is our number one.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
The joys of Scandal Radio. Welcome in the beginning of
another night of the Ben Mallard Show.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
We are in the air, m rewhere united as we
give you the yum Yum yummies coast to coast, border
to border and beyond. On the vast and classically powerful
microphones of fs are emmating live from the success, the

(01:36):
overnight success that has taken roughly twenty five plus years
from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, and this
portion of the Ben Mallory Show made possible in part
by our friends at tire Rack. For over forty years,
tyre Raq has been helping customers like alf Fergdog and
Malard prop Guy find the right tires for how, what

(01:57):
and where they drive, ship fast and freeback by free
road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire
installation that makes mister nice guy very happy, tire rack
dot com the way tire buying should be. And our
friend Andre and the Commonwealth and his dog Willis say
what about Haleyon, Well, every goal starts with an assist

(02:18):
on and off the field. That's why Haleyon and US
Soccer are launching for the Assist, a celebration of everyday
acts of support that help people achieve their goals with
iconic brands like Censinine, Thums, Voltaian, Advil and Centrum and
both of the District Attorney reminds me that to learn more,
you need to go to haley on assist dot com.

(02:43):
So that's why a listener was a couple months back.
This was on the podcast, the Fifth Hour podcast they
do on weekends, and there was like, you know, you
do a talk show. Oh you do is talk about
sports every day. It's going to be so boring. And
there are days like this when I walk into the
radio station and into the studio here and I'm like, well,
that's not boring and or lead this hour from ann Arbor, Michigan. Now,

(03:10):
I gotta tell you, I don't know. And every day
you wake up, you have no idea, like when you
do a show like this, what you're gonna be talking about,
you imagine you'll probably be some NFL story or somebody
will say something stupid in basketball or baseball or something
like that. I did not have this on my bingo
card as I woke from my hibernation, a very brief hibernation.

(03:31):
Did not did not anticipate that we would be talking
college football, certainly not about Michigan. I look at the
college football playoff and I don't see the Wolverines in
there at all. But everyone is talking about what has
happened here and Ann Arbor. So if you somehow have
been out of the loop, you're not in the loop.
To loop boy, have you missed out? My god? Oh man,

(03:55):
I need to take a shower. I need to take
a shower. If you didn't see it, perhaps not so.
Michigan has said bye bye. They have said get out
of here. Sharon Moore, the head coach shockingly fired by
school in Michigan. They said get out of here, and

(04:18):
people were confused initially, like what is this about? We
don't understand. Then the details started to drip out and
you realize that it was for cause, which means Sharon
Moore's cooked and the second full season at the helm
there for the world rings and that's it. Termination the

(04:41):
result of an inappropriate relationship between Moore and a staff
member who, according to the Internet, he was stooping. Following
a university investigation, they claim they have credible evidence, apparently
a whole lot of it, that found that Coach Moore
engaged in what we call because we're on the radio
and we're all we're all kids, making whoopee with a

(05:05):
staff member. How about that going to poundtown. So this
conduct constituted a clear violation of the university policy, and
blah blah blah, the lawyers got involved. We have zero
tolerance for such behavior. Now more was detained actually by
the cops in a suburb of ann Arbor ac Corner.
New Internet reports. He let's just say, he kind of

(05:29):
went off the edge there and threatened himself and, acording
to Internet reports, threatened the I guess we'll call her
the side check at her house there. And so he's
been popped on an alleged assault charge. Yeah, so you
think you had a bad day. I would say this
would be this would be a worse day. Moore had

(05:51):
a buyout of around fourteen billion dollars. But wait, there's more.
So about fourteen million hoars. So because he was five
for cause and from what I've been hearing from people
I've been texting, there's a lot of digital evidence, Michigan
is likely not going to have to pay hardly any

(06:11):
of that. That's it. So he woke up, think about this,
he woke up as the Michigan football coach. He ended
the day in police custody and lost fourteen million dollars. Okay,
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question can you unpack your many thoughts on the

(06:35):
downfall of Sharon Moore? We barely knew you as the
Michigan football coach. So my thoughts on this, I've got
time share dua lipa and lobster roll, and we will
combine all of these things together. And may I recommend
Sharon Moore go to Express Pros. They'll help you out.
They're not currently this week in advertisement, but they will

(06:55):
be back, and so go to Express Pros. Put your
resume up there, maybe get a job somewhere. So a,
let's dive headfirst into the amazing blue mellow drama. You know,
I'm all about the melodrama. So this day it felt
to me similar to the day when the Manti Teow
scandal came out. If you remember, if you're old enough
to remember that, it was a it was a football player,

(07:16):
good college player, bad NFL player, bad commentator. But Manti
Teyo with the day the scandal broke about his fake
dead girlfriend is like you couldn't click refresh fast enough
on the socials because there was something new every two minutes.
It was wild. Except we think in the difference the
juxtaposition between Sharon Moore and Mantai Teos, we think all

(07:39):
of these people are real people. We believe all of
these people are real people. Now, Sharon Moore did not
just torpedo his Michigan career. He lit the fuse and
he poured gasoline on top of it and then stood
there and warmed his hands. He rubbed his hands together,
is what he did. This was an infomer like twist.

(08:02):
You think you're buying the blender. You saw the infomercial.
You called the toll free number for the blender, so
you want the blender, and it turns out that you
didn't get the blender. You actually called the wrong number
and you called the infomercial. You bought the other thing.
You bought a timeshare in Disasterville. And that is where
Searon Moore bought a timeshare, Disasterville. The self inflicted. Be

(08:25):
very clear about this. It's self inflicted implosion worthy of
a late night syndication block. We got to bring back
the old school hits from years ago. I'm talking Jerry
Springer like Chaos, Maury Povich Fallout. Will throw Judge Judy's
attitude in there as well and roll them all into
a nice casse role. But we'll put the Wolverines logo

(08:47):
on top of the cast role. Okay, so you've got
what you got. You got shock value reports that the
side chick had a baby that was a dominated paternity test.
You've got the cheating scandal, You've got family feud, you've
got some bizarre life choices that were being made here.

(09:09):
And also much like those great classic shows of the
early two thousands in the nineties, like Jerry Springer, which
I think ended like ten years ago, but it was
on for most of this last twenty years, and you
have audience participation.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Now.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
On those shows, you had booming and cheering, and you know,
sometimes they joined the cast. On this, we just had
social media. We're all rubbernecking and keeping an eye on this.
The moment those first messages buzzed on my phone, Hey
you see this, mallor I knew. I knew this was
going to be something more than just some polite hr situation.

(09:49):
This was hide the kids, grab the popcorn, big movie theater,
bucket of popcorn, extra butter, extra butter. A romantic I
don't know if romances the right word, but a very
enjoyable relationship, I guess for at least one of the people,
maybe both, I don't know. With what appears to be
based on photographs that you all found on the internet,

(10:10):
you internet investigators of the woman a curvacious staffer at
the University of Michigan. Based on the Internet investigation she got.
This is so great. So the allig again, this is
all alleged. It's alleged alig exactly. The allegation is that
the young lady, she was just a low level staffer

(10:34):
at Michigan, and then about the time she started doing
some gymnastics with the head football coach, she got a
fifty five percent raise, which I think I think is
in the hush money playbook. I don't know, I have
to go read the hush money playbook, but I believe

(10:55):
it is. But wait, there's more. So she got a
fifty five percent raise, I guess she was really good
at her job. And you had donors bolting like they
heard the fire alarm, the boosters at Michigan because this
started making the rounds in back channels and the whole
thing was masterpiece of mayhem, is what it was. So

(11:17):
Sharon Moore, the now former head football coach at Michigan,
he didn't just fumble the bag. He dumped fourteen million
dollars in buyout money off a bridge. And the second
you hear four cause and that enters the chat You're porked, Yeah,
And well I guess he got porked in more ways

(11:38):
than one. But Michigan gets to take part in the
executive level ghosting. And so this story is a couple
of conflicting timelines. The one that I've been hearing a
lot here as I've been keeping track of this is
that this started about a month ago. About a month
ago and mid November, and insiders felt that the walls

(12:03):
were vibrating in ann Arbor. There were people whispering, Assistant
coaches were worried they were going to lose their job.
And in the end, Charon Moore did not really lose
his job. He gift wrapped it, placed it on the
curb and yelled, bulk trash, pick up, Come on, pick this,
jeez wow, I mean, my goodness out. Continuing the theme

(12:28):
of the hour all right question, some are saying that
the stank from the Charon More scandal will put a
fog over the Michigan football program that will last for years.
It's kind of like unfortunately the water in Flint, Michigan.
It's been fed up for a long time. So where
do you fall on this one? So there's no question

(12:52):
the Charon Moore scandal Palooza, as we're calling it, is
a hum dinger of a story. It is just amazing
from all angles. We are merely rubbernecking here, and we're
only in the opening credits on the drama a rama.
This is only the opening credits here, and then in

(13:13):
the scandal Malar Power rankings one to ten. This is
about a twelve. It's about a twelve, right. This is
a gourmet serving of tabloid fodder, is what this is. Now.
The Naked City never sleeps, and neither do we, and
right now it is feasting time. Feeding frenzy is going

(13:35):
on where every morsel of this story is being nibbled on,
not on, devoured. It's like a delicious three layer chocolate cake,
is what it is, and it's barbarian cruelty. I cannot
wait till twenty twenty seven. Can you imagine the Netflix

(13:56):
docu series on Teharon Moore's downfall at Michigan Hole League,
crap on a cracker man? Is that gonna be good
to good TV? That'll be great? So, I you know, Netflix,
it can't make it yet because the story's going on
right now. But that's gonna be some kind of a
docu series. Now, that's it. I'm gonna step back a
couple of steps here, and to quote the great William Shakespeare,

(14:17):
because all great sports talk radio needs to quote William Shakespeare.
The buck guys fan doff protest too much, methinks, because
a lot of the dog pile is from Ohio State.
I get it. I understand you, guys, arrivals, and you
have your fun shot and freud and all that. But
let's not act like this is Macbeth at the Big House.

(14:38):
Because I've done some malor math on this. I've crunched
the numbers. And if Sharon Moore had one more, all right,
if he had won more at Michigan, we wouldn't know
about any of this, all right. This would have gone
away faster than a snapchat. It just would have been gone.
And when performance dips the algebra, when performance did, morality

(15:00):
suddenly matters. When performance is great, you look the other
way on morality. You would have gotten this young lady
a nice island somewhere in the Bahamas or wherever, and
go live a nice life. We'll play a couple hundred
thousand dollars a year. Because we've got a great football coach.
If Michigan, I'll give you. If Michigan was playing, I
can't believe I'm saying this playing as the Indiana Hoosiers

(15:21):
are this year, or heaven forbid, their blood rival Ohio
State also preparing for the college football Playoff. This would
have been a dua lipa special. Boys will be boys right,
covered up like you know, it's kind of covering it
up from going going from a bikini and then you're
on the beach and you go from wearing a bikini

(15:41):
to a moon move Well, you've covered up a lot
of real estate with the moon move right, And so
if you're good, you put the moon MoU on. You
cover it up. If not, it's the bikini and all
that the effect it's actually a nude beach. So instead,
Sharon Moore was seventeen and eight, which is not terrible,
but it's not great in the last couple of years
and Michigan failed to reach the College Football Playoff off
under his tutelage, So long term, I maintained this is

(16:04):
a mosquito bite in the nil era, where the kids
and the coaches are pig skin mercenaries. Money talks and
loyalty walks. So Michigan be just fine. I'll hire a
pretty good coach and they've got a lot of money
to play with. Now, speaking of that, the last word

(16:24):
here the business at hand. So question where does Michigan turn?
The coaching carousels pretty much ended. Lane Kiffen was the
big one and he left Ole miss to go to
LSU and that was like the last big whale that

(16:45):
was out. So where does Michigan turn as its next
full time football coach? So this is where you start
sniffing that pungent coaching carousel aroma. It's like someone left
a lobster that's been sitting out in the sun during
the summer for a couple of weeks and it just
starts nasty. This always comes back to the B word boosters. Right,

(17:09):
they're the back They're in the back alleys right now. I imagine,
at least in my head, they're wearing trench coachs and
they're whispering, hey, how much would it take for you
to coach Michigan? Right, they're looking to pilfer their next
savior and spoiler alert, I'm gonna go out of limb
say he ain't gonna be a Michigan man. I say,
they're not gonna go with a Michigan man. Now, the

(17:29):
mythology is that you're you're getting that, that Michigan aura
and all that, and you have to find someone with
some kind of connection. I say, hit the pause button
on that, and so on your march, get set and go.
Let the poaching games begin. The poaching games again. It

(17:51):
is a musical chairs game on jet fuel. And again
Michigan is way behind the curve here, way behind, and
everyone else already grabbed their guy. All right, So regardless
the brand I believe still plays, am I old, Yeah,
you're old Michigan. It doesn't matter anymore. They've just won
the championship a couple years ago with hardball. I still

(18:12):
put them there, and that you know that the blue
blood in college football. They're one of the top five
in college football all time. It's Broadway, it's the Coliseum,
it's all that stuff. And so they can swing for
the fences. Now what we're hearing here, the hot name
in the echo chamber is Kaylin de Boor, which would
then lead to a trickle down effect because you know,

(18:33):
we know the Alabama fan base is not smitten with
Kaitlyn de Boor. The problem is they're in the playoffs.
There is a world where Alabama wins the national championship
in college football. There's also a world where they get
knocked out in their first opportunity, and if that happens,
that will speed up the process. It will expedite the process.
But it doesn't seem like the Boors beloved in Alabama,

(18:56):
and they've been grumbling about him, and so they got
smoked by Georgia in the SEC championship game. The board
does have Midwest blood. He's a Midwestern lad and he's
had success pretty much everywhere. He's been just not up
to the standard of Nick Saban at Alabama, and he

(19:17):
checks just about every box at Michigan, although I don't
think he knows the fight song. I don't think he
knows the fight song, and that's a bit of a problem.
But the other options. If you want someone who's currently
not working, you got Brian Kelly, who is there a
Michigan accent he can learn. He underwhelmed at LSU. I'm

(19:42):
sure there'll be some John Gruden rumors that's not happening,
But again, listen, the Naked City never sleeps, and neither
do do we and buckle up. If anything happens here
in the overnight, we'll let you know. The carousel is
spinning round and round and round and round and round.
It's a tilta whirl in a windstorm. This Michigan store.
It's it's quite the tail. If you'd like to comment,

(20:03):
you want to talk about what is becoming Jerry Springer
meets college football type story here and there have been
a few of these over the years. Michigan State had
won a couple of years ago, Arkansas famously with the
the Batrinos story years ago, and just pop up every
now and again. And this is the latest one. And
because we're right in the middle of it, we're we're

(20:25):
in the mud. It's quite the tail for Sharon Moore.
Sharon Moore really making making his mark here eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine
six six three sixty nine. Also on ex at Ben Mahlor.
It's at Ben Mahler if you want to be part
of the live show. A new episode of Benny Versus

the Thursday NFL game. So we're excited about that as

of the Day, and hour number three we'll have ask

Ben your questions and our answers, Ben and friends and
our three and then an hour four we've got fact
or fiction and some other surprises along the way. But
straight ahead you have a story like this, and suddenly
it is all about the flight log. It's all about

(21:28):
the flight log and bureaucracy. I'll explain, we'll get to that,
and we will.

And now back to it all right, back to what
we go is we just at are settling in on
the overnight. We began the hour talking about the big
story at Michigan. The Wolverines have had a change of
leadership on their football scan coaching staff. Skin. Yeah, big

(24:23):
big scandal, big big scandal. Love a juicy scan. It's
a good one. It's pretty solid. It's a twelve out
of ten on the one to ten scale for a scandal.
Simply outstanding, simply outstanding on so many levels. A late
night drug tester says, Michigan can hire a home run
coach that will be popular with kids, Jeff Fisher. I

(24:45):
predict his first season will be six and seven. There
you go, all right, very nice? What else do we have?
Page down? Just Josh in Cincinnati says, I just want
to go on the record and say that I take
no joy in the Michigan scandal or Sharon Moore's incredible
stupidity at a time when you cannot suck. It's one

(25:07):
thousand percent shot in freuder today. So so he says,
uh inca terror moron, the Great Inka Terror writes in
from New York. He says, I bet no one is
happier about Coach Moore's firing. Then bring it home Jerome,
who's obsessed with other people's money. Happy hump day, Jerome.

(25:30):
Now we head into a Thursday. But yeah, Jerome and Charleston,
and you know he's listen, he's a hermit. He don't
leave his house. He loves to complain about how he
has no money and everyone else has money and all that.
And you know Jerome is stewing right now. Incaterra's spot on.
He's gonna call it big. Can you believe how dumb
this coach Moore is to plow fourteen million dollars for

(25:53):
some floozy? What are you doing? Andy? And Lionel Lakes, Minnesota,
says another outstanding monologue, Ben So, the more important question
is did the assistant lose her job? Just so happens
I'm in search of an assistant. Well, apparently she's very good,
she's very thorough in her work. I don't know what
happened to her. I do know according to the Internet,

(26:14):
her father is an NFL scout. He must be very proud.
I'm sure that's going over very well. I'm sure they're
not busting his chops at the NFL team he supposedly
works for. There. I have a feeling she might be
the next president's assistant. Oh well, hey, yeah, you know what,
she's very thorough and she's appears to be very talented.

(26:37):
So yeah, she's so talented. She cost fourteen million dollars.
That's a very pricey I mean that's yeah. Mark in
Queen's Rights in he says, bravo, big Man. Just when
I thought the roast of Chris Paul was the funniest
opening monologue ever, tonight you topped it. Yeah, he says, hilarious.
Ryan in San Diego writes in he says, more studied

(27:01):
and obviously was a big fan of e May Udoka's playbook. Yeah,
you know, emy Udoka with the Celtics got let go
and the Celtics won a championship without him, but he
immediately got a job like the year later, he was
right back in. And the Rockets are one of the
top teams in the NBA. Right now, let's see here,

(27:22):
bum bum, Let's see I can't read that on the air.
We'll skip over that, and not a Burner writes, and
he says, Ben, the homemade drinks at certain restaurants make
me nervous when you watch them pull off a makeshift
foil cover and ladle the beverage into a cup. I
feel like it's a non secord. I feel like that's

(27:43):
something E Dog would say. Like if I had E
Dog online right now, E Dog would would make a
comment about that. I think that would be the direction
that would go. And uh yeah, all right, let's go
to the phones, and we'll go to the belly of
the beast, and we're all the drama in all of
everyone in sports is keeping an eye on Ann Arbor.

(28:05):
And we go to Brian, who's up first here on
the Ben mal Show. Hello Brian, Welcome.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
Good morning Vic Ben. How are you, Brian?

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Are you applying to be the next head coach at Michigan?

Speaker 4 (28:16):
I am not. You know that Steel Haul and Brian
man I live in an art.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Oh oh I didn't know that, Well I didn't. He
doesn't say on my board, I apologize Brian, it's a
bad job by me.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yeah, it's been a while, but you know, I've been
hauling steel.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
I hope everything's okay.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
So up here in the belly of the beast, I
got some insights. Apparently tomorrow the board of directors are
getting together and they are going to question our athletic director.
Too many scandals, then too many scandals, so we could
be looking for a new athletic director.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
You need a job, I mean, I think about it.
In fact, speaking of that, we have do we have
the I have a fun fact, the fun fact of
the hour. Are you ready for the fun? All right?
Since Jim Harball arrived in ann Arbor, the University of
Michigan has had seven of their football staffers arrested or

(29:13):
banned from the sport for rules violations. Since Jim Harball,
they've had was eleven staffers either arrested, Seven have been
arrested or or four have been banned for rules violations.
So that's impressive.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
That's just bad man, that's bad business up here in
They did.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Win a championship, though, you gotta admit that they want to.
You know, you take eleven, you take a seven arrests
for a championship, wouldn't you.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
No, I double that. Yeah. The big rumor up here
Ben is Jed Fish. That's what everybody's talking about for
coach Jed Fish.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
You know the guys I've never I've never met Jed Fish.
I know who he is, but I've never I've never
met him. He's he's been on the last track, uh,
in the coaching world there, and he does seem like
the kind of guy that would you know he's he
doesn't seem like he's going to be at Washington that long, right,
Like he's on He was at Arizona for a few years,
he went to Washington and it's like he's And that's

(30:12):
how you got to do it as a coach. You
got to keep moving on up the ladder to get
that big money. So is he I mean, I don't
know if he has any I don't know if he
has any ties to Michigan though. Does he? I have
no idea.

Speaker 5 (30:21):
I don't know how.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
My last question to you is why not Gruden because
of the sports?

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah, no, he does work for Barstool Sports, But I
I would hire him. I don't. I don't think they would,
especially not after all this because of the the email,
you know, worried about how everything looks, and you know
all that. I can't, can't.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
I've got one more piece of advice for Loreno. She
should take a lesson from this. You don't mess around
with anybody at work.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
It's all bad news, all bad news, all right, I
got it, all right, Well, thank you, all right. So
the bureaucracy part of this is that Michigan has retained
a head hunting firm. But what a scam this is,
Mike got how do I get in on that? I
would leave the cushy world of overnight talk radio to

(31:19):
be a consultant for colleges on who to hire. I
do that for free, anyway. I sit here all night
in a dark studio and I give advice on who
they should hire. So they hired the same consulting firm
used by the University of Florida. So they've gone out
and done that, and that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars,

(31:43):
millions of dollars occasionally they pay to have these consultants.
And the reason they do that I was told by
so many years ago, is because they have plausible deniability,
and the athletic director does and according to our previous
caller here, he said, hauling steel. The rumors are that
the athletic directors in some trouble at Michigan. But the

(32:06):
reason you bring in a consultant is because therefore, if
you hire a total bozo, and the administrators at the
score like, why do you hire that guy? He sucks? Well,
I not just we hired this consulting firm. They just
hired that. They recommended this person, you know, So it's
not my fault. It's the same reason during the pandemic

(32:27):
a couple of years they was out of an abundance
of caution. So you hire consulting from that way, it's
not my fault. Ain't my fault.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Not me.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
I'm not the guy. I am not the guy. No, no, no, no, no,
big grig. Rob writes in from the Pacific Northwest. He says,
been the real question is how much of the fourteen
million dollars does this woman get for saving Michigan from
having to pay the bill. That's the real question. We shures,

(32:55):
why wasn't hired by the athletic department to complete the
mission to get the head coach fire assets? Her assets
saved Michigan fourteen million? Dogs, so that the accusation there
is rather obviously and this is a classic move that's
like espionage, right, the honeypot. They call it the honeypot.

(33:16):
I think it's called the honeypot, right, And then the
move there and you said on something sweet and uh yeah,
people get that's how people get stuck. Yeah, and they
end up giving secrets away because they're cutting the honey trap.
Honey is it honey potter or honey trap? I forget,
Maybe it's honey trap. I don't know. I thought honey
pot was it? Who knows? Something like that and you

(33:37):
see it in those good espionage movies. Yet it's the
honey trap. I think that's it, the honey trap there. Anyway,
it is the Ben Mahlor show. So we mentioned the bureaucracy.
Michigan has retained a head hunting firm. Also, the flight
records are being followed here, the flight information being leaked

(34:00):
on the Michigan coaching search as Michigan going around and
they have private planes and so you can track the
number on the plane and see where the big shots
from Michigan are traveling to. And we mentioned in the
monologue Kaelin de Boor has been mentioned a lot at Alabama,

(34:21):
and so there's people tracking the planes on who's flying
where and what it all means, and so we'll keep
an eye on that. And Debor he's the big one.
Although I haven't seen anything specific. There was a flight
from the airport used by Michigan Says to Tuscaloosa on

(34:43):
Thursday evening, So that was the Michigan was it courting
with they courting de Bor? Who knows? So they have
the they have the flight number. The flight left. This
is last Thursday, so a week before you Usually before
you announce something like this, you line up the next coach.
The flight left at eleven eleven pm Eastern Time on

(35:06):
last Thursday and arrived on Friday just after just after
a minute. It was two minutes late. It was a
total travel time one hour and fifty two minutes. I
don't think there were any food. No food was served
on that. Maybe a couple of noodlesightsty what's that short flights?
Short things? Yeah, yeah, yeah, probably private private. They don't

(35:28):
usually give do they give food on private life? Really private?
Little peanut allergies though, it's a problem time now for
the who am I? Game? This is where we pretend
to be somebody else, as we call it the who
am I? Game? So rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is

San Antonio Spurs and the they got this for gazy.
What is this called the Odd Piece Trophy? What is
it in the NBA? The m rights? Is it a
salmon cup? I don't know. It seems rather ridiculous. But

(39:11):
they played it was a I guess elimination game. The
Spurs and the Lakers, and the Spurs were building the castles.
What they were doing Castle killing clock shot Clocket said Castle,
James Garding Castle, step back three.

Speaker 2 (39:26):

ty rack has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation

tire buying should be. So the Spurs get a double
dishit road win in LA and that is the tire
Iraq play of the day without Wemby. That's Castle thirty
points ten of fourteen shooting. I'm told that's pretty good.

(40:20):
I'm told that's that's pretty good. So the Spurs get
that done. Time to pay off. Now the who am I? Game?
