after going bazinga and winning the championship? Also, should Ryan

(00:25):
Dave leve Ohio State the toxic fans behind and go
to the NFL. Meanwhile, Joe Klatt, the powerful college football commentator,
implied that college football made a mistake playing the national
title game in late January during the NFL playoffs. Are
you going to up vote or down vote that comment?

Speaker 3 (00:49):
We'll get to that.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Michael Vick says his goal with Norfolk State is to
coach a Power five school eventually, how do things play out?

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Look at your crystal ball? Do things play.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Out for Michael Vick as a coach. We'll get to
that and much more right now here. It is our

lead from college football the day after Ohio State basking
and the after glow of beating Notre Dame in the

(02:26):
National championship game back on Monday, Monday, Monday night, and
so they're still celebrating. Many people focusing in on the
return to glory for Ryan Day, the head coach in Columbus.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
He was under fire, under siege.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
After the Buck guys had lost to Michigan in the
regular season final. He's been well documented how bad that
loss was in Columbus, despite being massive favorites.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
And now they've come back and won the championship.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
So I don't know if you've been consumed with the
chatter the autopsy on how that happened, the blow by
blow and all of that. Perhaps not, but I thought
it was interesting. So Ryan Day was dragged through the mud.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Not fair. Now everyone's writing, Oh, it's not fair. Oh
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,
bah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
After the loss to the Wolverines back in the end
of twenty twenty four and so, and now he's got
the receipts and he can walk around like a peacock,
and clearly the storyline has changed. So let us discuss
the question. Let's get right to the meat of the matter.
Does Ohio State coach Ryan Day deserve to go on

(03:42):
an apology tour and get a bunch of I'm sorry
from the various critics. Does Ohio State coach Ryan Day
deserve an apology from the people that were critical of
his coach. So I've got stables, animaniacs, and whistle stop
and we will combine all of these things together, and

(04:07):
we are going to carve out of a mountain. We're
going to carve something out of a mountain. So, first
of all, I'm shaking my head.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
No, I'm shaking my head.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
No, Ryan Day does not deserve an apology Ohio State.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
He deserved to be roast.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Okay, so he didn't deserve the buddy was at the
time that took place. That was accurate criticism of Ryan Day.
And that's how it works. You went out, you bought
your team, which is fine. I don't have a problem.
I like the Dodgers. They buy their team. I'm happy
with that. But when the Dodgers don't win, they get ripped.
Ohio State went out tried to pay for a championship,

(04:46):
and it looked like it wasn't going to work out.
They spend over twenty million dollars, which for now is
a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
In a few years it'll be one hundred million.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
But they were favored by twenty and a half points
at one moment in time against the Michigan football team,
so they were almost three touchdown favorites. They were at home,
and they gagged. They suffocated, They choked. The Buckeyes choked.
The mollment was too big. They couldn't handle it. Michigan
had been so blah. But yet Michigan in that game

(05:16):
kept Ohio State's offense and checked the rivalry game and
if you look at the last few years, I know
that was Jim Harball, but Michigan has dominated Ohio State
in recent years and that's the game that matters more
than every other game for the Buck. Guys, we all
know that even if you're not from Ohio or you're
not from Michigan, you know that Ryan Day had been
goofed on. But that goes with the real estate. See,

(05:39):
that goes with the territory. You buy the land, you
get that on the land, that's part of the land.
And he's well compensated for his troubles. He makes over
ten million dollars a year, just got a million dollar bonus.
So with that million dollar bonus, I assume that Ryan
Day can afford to go down to the stables. Probably
has a big ranch, big plantation there. Go down to
your stables, and why don't you get one of those

(06:00):
mini therapy horses and help manage your anxiety if this
is really an issue. You're expected to win titles at
Ohio State. You hadn't won a title at Ohio State
as the coach, and so you you don't need an apology.
If you're Ryan Day, because you were held accountable. That's
the yin and the yang right to give and the take,

(06:22):
and that's how it works. And you might not like that,
but that's the way it works. And now the other
storyline about Ohio State is should Ryan Day leave the
buck Eyes because of the way the fans were toxic
towards him and his family? Leave Ohio State behind for
the NFL. So this is one of those Cinderella stories,
you know, run off and go to the big dance

(06:42):
in the NFL. But at this point, there is no
indication that anyone from the NFL wants Ryan Day. Now,
it might be wrong on this, I don't know. I
just see the Overnight show. Maybe somebody will pop up
later today, is that we want Ryan Day. But at
this point, at this point, bupkis right. So it does
take two to tango. I don't think you can just
give yourself a job. I don't think Ryan Day can

(07:04):
get on the phone and call up the Jacksonville football
team and say, hey, I like them, I'd like to
coach the Jags.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Can I do that? I don't think that's how that works.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
So, yeah, it's a nice thought to say he's gonna
run off and become a head coach in the NFL.
And he's been a coach working his way up and
then becoming a head coach for twenty five years. Out
of those twenty five years of coaching, he spent exactly
two years as a positional coach, not a coordinator.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Positional coach in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
And outside of you look around like Pete Carroll, Jimmy Johnson,
most college coaches, it has not worked out.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Now, each situation is unique. Urban Meyer. He had a
very good.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Time with the young ladies there at the bar, but
on the field didn't work out so well for Urban Now. Secondly,
we go to the wisdom of a voice of college football,
Joel Clatt, the Fox Sports commentator Joel Clatt there got
on his soapbox. He was not happy, not pleased with
the end of the college football season.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
He went on a ran.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
He said, this is supposed to be the pinnacle of
our sport, meaning the championship game, the destination for every player,
coach fan. Clatt on his soapbox ranted, Yet somebody decided
that playing the national Championship on a Monday night deep
into the NFL playoffs was a good idea. Clatt grumbled,

(08:33):
the mismanagement of college football has been egregious.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Close quote.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
All right, so Fox Sports college football pundit Joel Clatt not.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Even really implying.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I think he just laid it all out for you
that college football made a terrible mistake by playing the
national title game in essentially late January and the NFL
playoffs going on.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Are you going to vote down or you're going to
vote up on this?

Speaker 2 (09:06):
You're gonna vote up or you're gonna vote down on
Joel Clatt saying that this was a terrible mistake by
the gods of college football. So I'm going to downvote
this take. I'm going to downvote this take. I disagree
with Joel Klatt. Times are a change in and Clatt
knows exactly who's responsible for this change. It's not exactly

(09:29):
like it's a secret. This is not some kind of
classified document. It's this is not a national security issue here,
he said, somebody decided to play the National Championship game
on Monday. Mother, Well we know who that is. Two
letters on the wheel of fortune, Can I get a
T and a V? Yes, TV. They're the ones that

(09:51):
are omnipresent. They're the ones that are the sugar daddy
of college sports. They're the ones calling shots. So it's
not mismanagement. It is a cost benefit analysis kind of obvious.
It's kind of obvious. They they're the ones that pay
the check. They buy the games and all that TV, ESPN, ABC,
everything's bigger in twenty twenty five college football.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's the new world order of college football. And it's
much like animaniacs.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
The people that put the TV together and college football,
they get together, all right, and they're like pinky in
the brain and it's like pinky sanjee brain, what are
we gonna do tonight?

Speaker 3 (10:27):
And brain responds with the same thing we do every night,
try to take over the world. It's scientifical. The people
in charge who they try to figure out.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
How many people can we get to watch the biggest
audience we can get to watch. They crunch the numbers,
They put a ven diagram together and they determine what
is the optimal time, the date and time to play
these games. Get the biggest bang for their buck, the
biggest bang for their buck, right, that's how you do it.
Can't compete with the NFL playoffs head to head, although

(10:59):
I mean if you could compete.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
You would play on the weekend. You can't do that.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
You gotta play on a Monday night or a Thursday
or whatever Friday, so you schedule around those games. The
NCAA players actually benefits trickle down economics because more exposure
brings higher ratings, which means more money for advertisers, which
means more money will filter down to the players via
nil deals because the sponsors will want to be associated

(11:24):
with the players and more money in the free agency
of college football. There'll be a quiz on this later.
It's not that hard, all right, Final five. So we
go now to Michael Vick. He's the head coach. Now,
Michael Vick, he was introduced recently, is the head coach
at Norfolk State.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
That's a school you've never heard of in Virginia.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Michael Vick says his goal with Norfolk State coaching football
there is to eventually get a Power five job at
a job at a Power five school. So how does
this play out?

Speaker 3 (11:59):
All right?

Speaker 2 (12:00):
So the obvious thing he is you follow the yellow
brick road of Deon Sanders. The only reason Michael Vick
has a job is because of Deon Sanders. If Deon
Sanders had fallen on his face, and there had been
no buzz with Deon Sanders, Michael Vick would not be
coaching Norfolk State.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
He wouldn't. Right, This is.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
A whistle stop tour for Michael Vick, and he's got
the whistle.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
In his mouth. He's got an opportunity make something out
of nothing. It was the great P. T.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Barnum, the man that pointed out the importance of the
Novelty Act. And without promotion, foresaid Novelty Act, something terrible happens.
You don't have promotion nothing. So whether Michael Vick wins
or not, his secondary Deon Sanders had some success at

(12:44):
Jackson State, but he wasn't God's gift to coaching at
Jackson State. But he built up a lot of good karma, right,
that was the most important thing. And so he then
ran off to Colorado and got that job. Michael Vick,
by coaching standards, is getting paid peanut nuts.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
He's got a four year contract to coach.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Football at a school with really no budget and four
hundred thousand dollars annually the base salary at Norfolk State,
which is kind of like working at your first job
at the car wash or as a lifeguard during the summer.
It's a good starter job. Get your feet wet a

(13:24):
little bit, see where it goes. And Michael Vick is
dating himself because there is no more Power five. I
don't know if you heard about this, but the PAC
twelve was swallowed up. It was eaten by the other conferences.
So there is no more Power five. The PAC twelve
is dead. There's no more PAC twelve. So and really
there's really the Power two. It doesn't sound as good
to say the Power two. Sounds cool to say Power

(13:47):
five or Power four, but it's really the Power two.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
It's the Big Ten, the reigning champions of.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
College football from Ohio State, and it's the Southeastern Conference
who did not make the champion game. That's it. That's
the list right there. Those are the two power conferences. Now,
the smart money says, if Michael Vick knows what he's doing,
and that's on one side of the diagram, on the
other side of the diagram, you've got the.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Virginia Tech football program.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
And if they start floundering along here, then there's a
collision course where Michael Vick is uscending and Virginia Tech
is descending, and then there's the point the sweet spot
where they meet, and then when they meet, that presents
opportunity for Michael Vick to end up coaching his old school.

(14:38):
That seems to be pointing in that direction. If the
Hokies do the hokey pokey.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
And start winning, and then I'll screw things up.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Deon Sanders has not gotten the Florida State Seminal job,
for example, although they have been not exactly taken off
there at Florida State.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
We'll take your calls if you'd like.

Speaker 6 (17:33):
We're and the hold back.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
Okay, that's all.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Okay, So that you want me to try to navigate
a bunch of potholes to read those questions?

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Oh my gosh, you want that? Okay, Yes, we'll see
what people send in.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
We'll see what they send it. We began this hour
with a little hot college football talk. Why not college
football season over? And Ohio State the champions of college football?
And now the fallout from and that milkman Mike in
Colorado wrights and says, great second hour monologue about college
football competing with the NFL playoffs, Why don't they play
the championship game on Friday night and take these young

(18:11):
men back to their roots when they love the love.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Of the game began? Sure, why not.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Now, if you look at the calendar here, let's do
a little play along. So you look at the NFL calendar,
and college football starts usually a week or two before
the NFL usually a week or two. So we are
now heading into week number three of the NFL postseason.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Number three, this.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Weekend Championship Sunday, got the Commanders in the Eagles the
early game, and then the Bills and the Chiefs, and
there'll be a new episode of Benny Versus the Penny
up again this weekend Championship weekend in the NFL, which
is very exciting. So then you've got a dead week,
Week four, followed by the Super Bowl, and the Super

(19:02):
Bowl will be played.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
What's the date on the Super what're we looking at here?
It's like, I think it's the ninth, Yeah, February ninth.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
That is great, February ninth, So the second of February,
that Sunday and the first of February. Was texting somebody
the other day and they were like, well, eventually, when
they keep adding teams to college football, the sweet spot
for college football would be to have the championship game
on that Sunday where there's no NFL game. They have

(19:33):
that fugazy Pro Bowl thing, which is like they play
patty Cake and stuff like that and they have water
balloon toss and huluh.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yeah, yeah, that's the Pro Bowl. Now. The players are
such worses. That's what they do with the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
So so why not just have the college football championship
game that Sunday prior to the Super Bowl or that weekend.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Maybe you don't do it on Sunday, maybe you're on Saturday,
but just have it then.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Sunday is typically a better day for TV viewing than Saturday,
so you would probably play that on a Sunday night,
the national championship game in college football, and just have
it lineup, have it coincide. It's pro football anyway. Players
are getting paid, everyone's coaches is getting paid. It's free agency.
It's that's what it is. So just set up the
schedule where eventually you have that ready to go. Fergdog

(20:19):
Rights and says, I'm loving the back to back to
back Malord commercials Otesla Rapid Radios and tire rack dot Com.
The only thing that could make me happier is a
fourth a fourth tire rack' That's what he says. Late
Night Drug tester says, Michael Vick is guaranteed to get
a Power five job. The school will just pay the

(20:41):
five million and move up in competition in the next
two years.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
That's all you gotta do. Pay that. You're ready to go?
All right? What else do we have? Page down?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Dad Gummett writes in He's he's driving out there the
highways and byways around Arkansas Missouri. He says, Hey, Ben,
your weed connection is at the state line of Missouri.
But wait, it's medical. It's not weed or grass, it's medical.
Since government is making their profit over six million dollars

(21:16):
last year.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah, wow, you.

Speaker 5 (21:20):
Think that only if they took that away from individual
businesses that person remember back in the old day where
you had to get it on the streets. Wow, what
a business to take from the people.

Speaker 6 (21:30):
That's correct.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Also, the sports bookie that now gambling, although California is
not legal, so I'm sure there's boys that have bookies
in California.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Shouldn't be doing that. But you know it's wrong. You
should never be doing that. Bad, don't do that.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
Never, never, never mat in trouble unless you blame someone else.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah. Well, it's it's like anything you know, as long
as the government gets their share, it's legal, right.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
You can, you know, say the same drugs that people
are dealing on the street. If you wearing a coat
and you're working at a drug store, you're in good shape.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
But they worked out in the street. Government's not getting
their money. It's a bit of a problem.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, naughty, naughty if you're a pookie, but you're not
giving a cut of that money the government.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
It's a problem.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
And they don't like that. They want their cut. They
want their cut of the pie. DJ spin rights and says, hey, Benjamin,
it's cool.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Listening to you talk about college football.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
I know you got to play the heads, my man,
But me, being a big college football fan, I dig it.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Oh Tigers, Oh Tigers.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
David also says this other David writes and he says,
look like the speedster menace chauffeurring coach Day and his
players post game.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yeah, this was a lot of people talking about this.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
I didn't see this last night or the night before whatever,
but Ohio State after the game, the golf cart carrying
Ohio State coach Ryan Day slammed into a wall underneath
the stadium there in Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, I'm in the the golf boom.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Oh man, Now I'm not gonna make a joke about
a female drive.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
I'm not doing that.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
You guys keep sending me the same jokes about a
female driver and all that.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
And she she did.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Not anticipate the degree of the turn.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
That's classic.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'll take these Ohio State players and I'll get my
show for your VIP tour underneath the stadium and just crashed.
And so they just got out. They were like all right,
they got out and started of wanting how soon before
they call one of those billboard lawyers. They're like, wait
a minute, hold on a second. They weren't really holding
on and there's not real seat belts. Oh man, right

(23:42):
into the wall. Bam bam, bam, bam bam bam. Right there,
all right is the Ben Mahlor Show. And we'll go
to the calls and see who do we have.

Speaker 7 (23:54):
You got me hear you all say, oh yeah, go birds,
go birds.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
That's your mayor, Philadelphia, that's your honorable mayor right there, classy. Absolutely,
let's go to the phones.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
We'll say a Lota Alameda lou Is calling Alameda lo
is becoming a regular.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
All of a sudden, you used to only call every
once in a while.

Speaker 8 (24:18):
Hello, Alameda, lou Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 9 (24:22):
Ben? It's Alamedalu here in the beautiful city of Alameda
by the Bay.

Speaker 10 (24:27):
Oh.

Speaker 9 (24:27):
I love it here. It's very historical.

Speaker 10 (24:29):
You know.

Speaker 9 (24:29):
I worked at a bar. I'm a big Steph Curry fan. Actually,
I have a lot of fans that come by after
the games. You know, only in Alameda will you see
a guy reading a novel at a bar when he's
having a martini while I'm serving it to him. But hey,
you know, that's not really the reason why I called
that much. I had a verbal on with Todd Linscott

(24:51):
and then I continued it off the air, and we
continued to direct messages, and then you know, I told
him I hate him so much, but to have good life.
So I thought it was okay that I said that,
because you know, when you're saying it to a blind person,
you might you might say something real threatening, but if
you come to have a good life, it sounds a
lot better at the end. So that's how you get
off the hook with that one. You know, Hey, Lorena,

(25:14):
I have a question. You know, I'm from San Francisco here,
you know, Alameda am Cisco.

Speaker 5 (25:21):

Speaker 2 (30:14):

Let me hear you all saying he owe mee.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Go birds Yo, birds, Let's go birds. We got the birds,
the birds. The bird is the word is the word.
The word is the bird.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
That's the way we do it here, clearly. Let's go. Now,
let's say hello to Eenie Meenie, miney Moe.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
We go to Buffalo, New York, where the Bill's Mafia
will be leaving New York and heading over to Kansas
City for a hostile takeover, or so they think.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
No, he hung up, All right, I won't go to
bill Mafia, guys, screw him.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Let's go to truck or Don then instead, Hello, truck
or Don not part of Bill's mafia.

Speaker 8 (31:18):
I'm not part at Bill's mafia.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Here we go, Buck, guys, here we go.

Speaker 8 (31:28):
Well, I only got three things for you. You were
a touchdown one. So the first item was the NFL
Thursday Night games. Do you have the numbers on how
many viewers.

Speaker 10 (31:40):
They have for that game?

Speaker 9 (31:42):
Could?

Speaker 8 (31:43):
I believe that if, as you already said, if they
played the game on Sunday like an NFL game the
NCAA Championship, I think you would have severalar numbers. But
if you don't put it on the weekend, you'll have
Thursday Night. Thursday Night numbers.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
I don't have them in front of me.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
They're big enough ratings where Amazon paid a gazillion dollars
to have the Thursday Night contract, so they're getting enough
bang for their buck. But as you know, because you're
kind of connected, Truck or don the only people watch
live is sports, and the only sport.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
They really watch live is the NFL.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
So there's nothing that can really compete side by side
with the NFL. So if they could, they put NFL
on every night, because they get so much in terms
of audience compared to every other show.

Speaker 8 (32:39):
I'm saying I understand that, But when there's one hundred
thousand people sitting in a college stadium, and not just
one of them. I'm saying throughout a college program, whether
you're at Georgia, whether you're at Alabama, whether you're at LSU.
I just don't believe that there's such a small viewing

(33:03):
of college football.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Well there is, because I know you're a college football fan,
Trucker down. But it's a regional situation where the NFL,
for some reason, people care about what Jacksonville does to
hire a coach, or Seattle where they don't.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
You know, if you're.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
A fan of the Southeastern Conference, you're probably not that
into the Big Ten or vice versa. You love your
school and maybe you hate your rivals, but you're not
that into it.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
That's generally how it goes.

Speaker 8 (33:34):
Okay, accept the point, But to me, football is football,
and everyone loves football loves football.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Hold on, hold, I say we'll get to all on
James Man, but Trucker, Trugger down. Here's the deal. So
if the National Championship Game had been like Boise State
versus Oregon, you would have been just as excited to
watch that. Of course, time.

Speaker 8 (33:59):
I think you want me to answer your question so
your question, what I watch it. Of course I'd watch it.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Well, you'd watch it, but you wouldn't be like hanging
on the edge of your seat. It wouldn't be like
I gotta watch this.

Speaker 8 (34:09):
It wouldn't no, because those are not my teams.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
That's the point. See, that's the point.

Speaker 10 (34:15):
So if you did.

Speaker 8 (34:15):
That with the Jacksonville Jaguars and you identified that with
NFL team, I would say that they're not going to
draw a large rating because they're not popular teams.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Well, in my lifetime, we have seen teams with no
national fan base, like the Arizona Cardinals, the Carolina Panthers
have been in the Super Bowl and it obviously didn't matter.
People watched the Jacksonville was in the championship game, the
AFC championship game against the Patriots a few years back,
and so.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
People tuned in. But we gotta leave it there. But
thank you, say, I'd be safe.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
I know the weather sucks right now, so there's a
trucker dawn cruising around.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Nick Saban.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Nick Saban has given a endorsement for the Dallas Callboy
coaching job. He said recently that he would like to
see Dion Sanders get that job, so Dion Sanders.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
According to Nick Saban, that's what he wants to see get.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
The job, although there are reports that there will not
be a formal interview between Jerry Jones and Dion Sanders.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Stay tuned. The plot will thicken in Dallas.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Gonna have Mallard of the third degree. That is coming
up in a moment. We'll get to the Baseball Hall
of Fame next hour.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
But here's a little appetizer till we get to the
Baseball Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
With the insta trivia, Blank had the lowest debut vote
percentage to eventually be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Now, that's since nineteen sixty six. That's when they go.
That's how far back they go.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
But that's that's a long time now, that's almost seventy years.
So again, here's the answer, trivia. Blank had the lowest
debut vote percentage eventually elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
That is the answer, trivia.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
The answer. We'll get to it. We'll do it next.

Speaker 4 (36:09):

And here's the Insta trivia bill. So your friend Ben
here blank had the lowest debut vote percentage eventually being
elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. It goes back
to nineteen sixty six the numbers on that. And we'll

(36:46):
have Mallard of the third degree coming up. And let's see,
does anyone know the answer? We go to the Great
Unwashed here and mister Fuji Guess by Rob in Vegas.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Billy Martin is your answer? From Andy from Lino Lakes.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
That's his answer, Kenny Powers from Alf the Alien Opiner,
Edgar Martinez from Robbie the Mariner fan.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
That's a good photo, Robbie. Who else do we have?

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Sean Figgins, who is forty seven today from the Late
Night Drug Tester, Wow, mister three thousand, the late Great
Bernie Mack from King Rory, Mike Tyson guess by Malibu Rubin,
the Old Cardinal Hank Greenberg from Dante Laurel and Hardy
from Milkman, Mike in Colorado, Roki Sazaki from Art Puffin,

(37:33):
Bobby Benia Guess by Mark and Santa Monica, Oscar Gamble
from Ike and rosewo Minnesota, The Houston trash Can from Sprinkles.
That's their answer, don Juan, the roleygh Fingers, what say you?
Laehru then Babe Ruth the Bambino ern Ron.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Correct answer is Scott Rowland.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Scott Roland, you're you got ten point two percent of
the vote on the first ballot, but he eventually got
in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
Billy Wagner is now second. By the way, here we go,
it's Mallard. How about that?

Speaker 4 (38:07):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets
grilled provable.

Speaker 6 (38:15):
Cooper Cup spoke with reporters on Monday about his future
and he said, I feel like I've got a lot
of good football left in me. I'll be playing football
next year, that much I know Ben. Will he be
playing it with the Rams?

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Well, he could be playing it with his kids. I
don't know, kids in the neighborhood park. The indicators are
he will not be with the Rams next year. The
Rams haven't out on their contract. They'd have to pay
him if they keep him almost thirty million dollars and
he's a number two or number three receiver.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
He was really a number three receiver this year.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Puka Nakua is clearly the number one guy, So they're
not going to pay him that Money's thirty two next season.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
I say he's not a ram next year next.

Speaker 6 (38:53):
Former quarterback turned analyst Chris Simms had an interesting take
on the Mark Andrews drop over the weekend. He said,
Mark Andrews, he needs to catch it. Don't get me wrong,
but Lamar Jackson, making fifty five million a year, he
double clutched it and threw it like a dart. He
made it as hard as possible, as hard as it
could possibly be for a wide open touchdown.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
Ben does he have a point? Yeah, I mean he's not.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
I've heard Boomersiasin said something similar. I guess, Sims. I
mean these quarterbacksually like, well, he didn't fund he wasn't
fundamentally right Lamar on that throw. I you know, I'm
not gonna get into the techno, so but yeah, still
Mark andrew should have caught. But he was not a
perfect pass. But Andrews should he got to catch the ball.
I mean it bounced off his chest. For God's sakes,

(39:34):
I mean that's em. It's like Baul bounced off your face.
What are you doing all right?

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Next?

Speaker 6 (39:40):
John Calipari and Arkansas fell to own five an SEC
play Saturday, and an anonymous rival SEC coach said the
fear is gone and that the coach.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
Is becoming archaic.

Speaker 6 (39:49):
Ben, do you think the game has passed John Calipari?

Speaker 3 (39:51):
By no, He's just got to find better plays.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
He would just overwhelm everyone at Kentucky and the other
places he's coached with raw talent. But now the other
schools have caught up. But he's just got to pay
for better players.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
I guess. But I'm not gonna say he's washed up.
How did we do? He passed? I pass. That's a win.
I won, winner, Ben Mather, Winner, I won the game.
