Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number two. Our number two
is ready for you. It's piping hot out of the
fresh take oven as we begin to do this hour.
And it's all about the Warriors and the timber Wolves.
So Minnesota gets the winning but the better story in
the losing locker room, who gets the biggest piece of

(00:21):
the sour dough of blame for the Warriors is they
got torn apart in the third quarter. Also, what went
right for Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves as they were
actually trailing midway through and then stormed back in the
second half. And how can Golden State get back in
this series with Minnesota? And what exactly is Steve Kurr

(00:46):
doing to coach up the Golden State basketball team? If
anything will go there as well. All of it's coming
your way right now on this early Tuesday. It's our
number two, howling at the moon and almost howling into
the Western Conference Finals. Welcome in the beginning of another

(01:10):
hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are in the
air everywhere, howling away in partnership, shoulder to shoulder as
we are your late night bite just right coast to coast,
border the border and beyond on the mast and unreasonably

(01:32):
powerful microphones of fs are emmating live from the dream,
living the dream in the middle of the night while
everyone else is actually dreaming from the Fox Sports Radio studios,
supported by Van the One Legged Bama Man, a show legend,
one of the great stories we've had on this show.

(01:53):
If you don't know who Van the One Legged Bama
Man is, this guy lives in Alabama. Thus the name
has leg bitten off by an alley gat and then
he and his relative went out. They got the gator,
killed it and ate it. The gator that ate him.
He ate the gator. This portion of the show made
possible by tire i Raq for over forty years. It's
a long time ty i Rack has been helping customers

(02:14):
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tyre raq
dot com The way tire buying showed me so our lead.
This hour is from the second half of the Playoff Card.
Last hour, we ranted about snapcrackle pop for Jason Tatum

(02:36):
as the Celtics lose to the Knicker Bockers New York
fans a very calm ack like you've been there before,
and uh, well, they haven't actually acted like they've been
there before. And then you realize, like all those Nick
fans that were going crazy outside Madison Square Garden and
going nuts and all that, like anybody in their thirties,
Like if you're in your early thirties, last time the

(02:58):
Knicks were any good, you were like seven. That's how bad.
Think about that, Like, the Knicks haven't been in twenty
five years and they haven't won a championship in like
fifty years. So anyway, but our lead is not from that.
We go to San Francisco the late game on the
pro bouncy Ball card that was the playground for Game
four of the Western Conference semi Finals. Minnesota with a

(03:20):
chance to stop and do the monthstmage on Golden State
and take a stranglehold on the series. No Steph Curry again,
he was there giving moral support. Didn't you watch? No,
you weren't all right. Well, Anthony Edwards went kaboom in

(03:43):
the second half and he ended up with thirty points,
second straight thirty point performance. It was the third quarter
that was a difference here, Julius Randall, who did a
lot early in the game. He finished with thirty one
points and but Timberwolves audition and swishing and into the
win column. They beat. The Warriors ended up winning by seven.

(04:05):
They were up by twenty in the second half. And
don't look now but a Minnesota sports team yet again,
the t Wolves on the brink of advancing to the
final four in their sport, as they are one win
away now from moving on to the Western Conference Finals
and a chance to go to the NBA Finals. And
he will go back home to Minneapolis on Wednesday, and

(04:27):
right there downtown Target Center, right next to that Sid
Hartman statue, right there outside that arena, they can clinch
the best of seven Western Conference semi Finals Game five
Wednesday night, be there be square. The Warriors will most
likely be without Steph Curry. Most likely will be without
Steph Curry there he sat out his third game in

(04:50):
a row, and he is scheduled to have his hammy
that went whammy be re examined on Wednesday and is
said to be a game time. Okay, we reevaluated that day,
like every day you get up. Technically, we're all being
reevaluated when we wake up? So am I awake? Okay,
I'm being reevaluated. They're gonna get out of bed. Okay, good. Now,

(05:11):
the better story is yet again in the losing locker room.
So that is where we will start our conversation together.
And as we discuss the question here, who gets the
biggest piece of the sour dough of blame for the Warriors?
The sour dough of blame? So I've got State Farm,
Latto and Hogwarts, and we will combine all of these

(05:34):
things together and we are going to make some delicious
garlic fries. Which think of garlic fries, you think of
the northern California. That's at least what I think of
known for their garlic fries. All right, so number number

(05:57):
there's plenty sour dough blame to go around, plenty plenty.
The bakery is working overtime here. The Warriors, in fact,
they need to get an extra order or two. Okay,
they do. So we'll start out with Okham's razor. The
simplest answer is the most obvious one. With Steph Curry
out of the lineup, and he's been out other than

(06:18):
thirteen minutes he played in Game one, he's been out
so the obvious answer here is that someone has to
rise up. Right, the team unites and you rise up,
and next man up all that stuff, and so how's
that work? Now? Watching these playoffs, there's some commercials that
play NonStop. It's just over and over situation. For example,

(06:42):
if you've been watching the NBA games, that State Farm commercial.
So I actually thought of that State Farm commercial in
context of the Warriors without Steph Kurr, Like, have you've
seen the commercial? You know what I'm gonna say. So,
the Warriors needed Batman to show up, and they really
needed Batman, and right there across Gotham City they needed Batman,

(07:05):
and Baitman showed up. Not Batman, Baitman. That's what they got.
And in this case playoff, Jimmy on this night was
pedestrian Jimmy bag to the bone. Now we're supporters of
Jimmy Butler. He went wacko in Miami, and he went

(07:26):
wacko in Minnesota and in Philadelphia, and eventually he goes whacko.
But when he's playing, he's locked in. He's a fun
player to watch, and in this particular game, a winnable game.
At halftime. In fact, Golden said was leading at halftime,
and he went a wall. He went a wall. Jimmy
Butler for some reason, was tentative. He was gun shy

(07:48):
on offense. We're predicting that we'll hear seven reports he's
heard he's hurt. Okay, well, you played the game, passed
up shots, did not even try to take some shots
that were there. He was completely We don't know why.
The Warriors while Jimmy Butler playoff Jimmy was on the court,
were outscored by thirty points. Who goofed, I've got that

(08:10):
up thirty points. He only took nine shots. Now he
moves up right the way the pecking order works with
Steph Curry out. You went out and got Jimmy Butler,
and he's the guy, except he wasn't the guy and
he only took n jet Now others to blame and
shame because we like to blame in shame and Talk

(08:31):
Radio Brandon Pajemski, as we mentioned the worst shooting performance
we've seen in over a decade in the NBA playoffs,
or somebody taking the volume shots that he's taking and pods,
it's even worse the last two games. The last two games,
this cat is shooting sixteen point six percent from the floor,

(08:51):
he's taken twenty four shots, he's only made four of them,
four of twenty four. And from three point range he's
shooting two twelve point five percent the last two games. Pew,
what stinks? I think we know who stinks? My God,
all right now, pitchdo So something goes wrong for Golden State,
while on the other side, what went right for Anthony

(09:12):
Edwards and the Timberwolves in this particular game. So ant
man what he did? He found the button on the
dashboard and he went turbo time in the third quarter,
clear the runway for takeoff. We were about to depart,
and he did. He's very choppy player. Being a good player,

(09:33):
it seems very choppy. I think that's an accurate way
to describe him. That the numbers usually are pretty good,
but there's some choppiness. There's not smoothness to his game.
But on this particular night, in that third quarter, he
cranked up the Latto song. He had that big energy right,
the big capital D energy there, and we know he
loves to talk about his big D. Man. Anthony Edwards

(09:56):
sixteen of his thirty points in the third quarter, and
that was the kill shot. That was the stranglehold quarter
for Golden State to go down. They fell into a sinkhole.
Minnesota was plus twenty two, plus twenty two in the
third quarter, body blow, body blow, body blow, one after another,
led by twenty and then they just kept the Warriors

(10:16):
at bay at arms length. The rest of the game,
just kept them at arms length there. So Golden State
now they're in position to be a classic Info mercial,
The Golden State Warriors. I've fallen and I can't get up.
They can't get up right now, lethargic, listless, spiritless basketball,

(10:37):
and as normally happens, do not expect any calls from
the Bay area there. That's usually what happens when it's
called front running. That's what it's called. All right now,
final point, So, how can Golden State get back into
this series with Minnesota there down three to one? We
know the math on this is not particularly great. There's

(10:57):
only been thirteen teams that have come back. They are
so they need to visit Hogwarts. I've determined they need
to go to Hogwarts that they have to get the
potion from Harry Potter and Hogwarts there and things have
gotten out of hand, Things have fallen by the wayside.
There they are in a ditch by the side of
the road, and whatever potion they can find from the

(11:19):
Harry Potter franchise, the health potion, they need to give
Steph Curry a gallon of it and just have him
drink that. And instead of Boom goes to Dynamite, it'll
be Boom goes to the Warriors, and they win one
game and then all of a sudden you get a
little tight took of syndrome for Minnesota and things change.
And by the way, what has Steve Kerr done? I

(11:43):
keep asking that question when I watched The Warriors without
without Steph Crer. Fact, let's hear from Steve Kerry. Here's
Steve Kerr pointing out that life is not much fun
right now without the Star. Take a listen.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
The series changed with Steph's injury, so everybody, shots.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Are going to be more difficult.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
There's just you know, Steph's the guy who breaks the
defense down for us and creates that offensive flow. And
I think the end result is that shots are more
difficult for every single guy.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
And he's really saying, the way I interpret that his
players suck and he can't coach them up they can't
make shots unless they're open. They're not good. That's that's
what that sounds like to me. Am I interpreting that
the right way, Isn't that what he's saying. It's harder
and these guys suck. They can't play because if they
were good, they still make some of the shots. They're
not making them because they blow. That's what Steve Kerr

(12:38):
saying about his players. And he's always he's got the
excuse all built, Oh well he tried, but we lost
the series and all that stuff. I haven't seen any adjustments. Again,
I'm not a big coaching adjustment guy, but you do
see teams that have a little more fight than the
Warriors do. And what happened to the Warriors defense another

(12:59):
thing that Steve Kerr has talked about and celebrated that
they're one of the top defensive teams, and what have
they done Minnesota. At one point, it's Randall, then it's
a man. They go back and forth and the second
half explosion like a rocket taken off in the third quarter,
Anthony Edwards and Randall. Early in the game, they overwhelmed

(13:24):
Golden State. They're undersized on defense and they seem to
be tired, fatigued. I love that excuse. I have the
whole playbook of broadcasters in basketball. I was gonna do
a rant on this. I still might the NBA broadcaster
the book on broadcasting NBA basketball. What you do is,

(13:47):
whatever team's trailing, you talk up they're going to come back.
We've seen stranger comebacks on this. What do you think
they can come back? And then when it's apparent the
team that's losing is going going to not come back,
you talk about how tired they are, how exhausted they are,
how strenuous it is, of course, staying at five star hotels,

(14:10):
traveling by private plane, bus, police escort, very grueling. Yes,
how do they do it? My god? What heroes?

Speaker 3 (14:19):
All?

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Right? Is the Ben Mahlor show. You know, why don't
we play this right now? I was gonna tease this again,
but let's go to the Draymond Green. Draymond Green did
the cowardly thing. Draymond the other night decided that he
could not be bothered to answer questions. The guy that's

(14:40):
trying to be in the media ran and hid like
a coward from the media, who goofed, Yeah, Draymond Green. Anyway,
So Draymond Green started his post game news conference on
Monday night, and he addressed the fact that he ran
and hid like a after the previous game. Take a listen, boy, I.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Started, I want to apologize the all I didn't talk
the other day. I was quite a bit frustrated and
very careful of I didn't want to get myself fine,
but more so say something to make it sound like
an excuse.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I mean, struggle and lose, and I didn't come up
here and talk.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
I felt like a coward when I got home, so
I wanted to apologize.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
The offer that all right, well, apology not accepted, but
you were a coward. I will agree you were a coward. Uh.
And that's what we talked about for some time. We
played some sound the other day of Halliburton, Tyrese Haliburton,
the Pacers, who didn't even seem all that upset by
he is, like, well, the pacers said, I didn't have
to talk, so I didn't have to talk, and I
left at all that stuff. At least Raymond Greens like
knows he's a coward by running and hiding, And you're like, dude,

(15:51):
you want to be in the media, like that's the
thing like the deal you got you get to show up.
So it's hilarious. I love these all these guys beings
in the NBA playoffs and of course the NBA media.
Most of them are boot lickerors and toasuckers in the media,
and so it's fine, they're made for each other. But

(16:12):
it is hilarious when a guy like Draymond Green first
of all, is bold and bodacious with commentary, and then
when things aren't going well, I can't show up, I'm out,
which makes you a show pony. You're a front runner
when you do that, Like that's the definition of front runner.

(16:32):
You're there when the times are good, you're out in
front of the camera. You have your makeup person, you
have your lighting person. And then when the team loses
and you, when you ride the vomit comment you suddenly
don't want to talk. It is the Bean Mahllor show.
If you would like to talk about the Warriors being
in a precarious situation or the Celtics being in a
precarious situation. Also the NBA Draft lottery. But you can

(16:55):
never underestimate the NBA and the levels they will go to.
It is entertainment man, and it's professional wrestling. Do you listen?
You do us as solid. You get Luca to the Lakers,
so we get some people to watch the games. We'll
do you a solid and there you go. Quid pro quo.
There in the NBA Draft lottery, we'll talk more about

(17:15):
that coming up a little bit later later this hour.
We will have Mallor to the third degree. That'll be
coming up a little bit later, and it's someone who
many say is airness, but will it be dead air.
We'll get to that and also the big big bet
as well. We'll get to all of it, and we

(17:37):
will do it next.

go to Charlie. Who's in Dallas? Kid caller alert? Charlie
in Dallas? Who right now is he's in a category

(21:53):
of one in a category when One of the great
moments in the history of the show was when a
kid took down Justin and Incinnattie. He's retired as a caller,
but he used to call the show a lot and
Justin got beaten by a kid at a trivia game
and it was one of the great moments in show history.
The kid's probably all grown up. Now, what's going on, Charlie, Charlie,

(22:14):
make sure you flush the toilet there, buddy, Are you
hiding in the bathroom from your parents? No, it sounds
like you're in the bathroom. Charlie, don't lie to me.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
I'm not lying.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Does it not sound like he's standing in front of
the toilet?

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Why are you lying, Charlie?

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Come on, Charlie, flush the toilet right now. I'm me
here to flush the toilet, Charlie. I'll let you go ahead,
flush the toilet.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
But I'm really I'm not.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
This is so bad?

Speaker 7 (22:48):
Well, then where are you you live?

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Like, Charlie, what do you sleep in the you call
your bedroom the bathroom? Is that what you call your bedroom?
You have no furniture in your bedroom. You have high
ceilings and tile floors, Charlie, and nothing to soak up
the sound, Charlie, like you know, like a bed or
anything like that. Come on, Charlie, it's okay man. I've

(23:21):
been I've been in your situation, Charlie. I feel your agony.
I have had to make late night talk radio calls
from secret locations in my home. I've done that, Charlie.
What is going on? Is everything okay? Charlie? What's going
on with you? Charlie? I I can you pick up

(23:46):
the phone? At least? It's it's really awkward.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
Whoa my dallic star?

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Oh no, Charlie, you didn't, Charlie. There's there's one of
two ways this is going to go. Either you're gonna
pick up the phone and talk right into it, get
off speaker phone, or you're gonna flush the toilet and
we'll have some fun. We'll do some bathroom jokes and
then we'll move on. How about that great bag.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
Toilet.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
You might not be on the toilet, but you're not
far away from the toilet. Charlie. You are standing in
a room and there is a toilet in the room,
is there. Don't lie to me, Charlie, do not lie
to me. Fom Okay, there you go. I see. Now

(24:38):
that's the first step. Okay, you're not going you're not
going to the bathroom, but you're in the bathroom. Okay,
So can you flush the toilet? I want hear what
it sounds like when you flush it really loud, and
probably go ahead.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
You want me to flush the toilet?

Speaker 1 (24:53):
I would love that. I would love you to flush
the toilet. I woke up this morning dreaming of hearing
a toilet flush at a rand house in the Dallas
area and my dreams about to come true. Charlie. I'm

(25:15):
a big fan of your work. Trip. You just but
you you might think that's nothing. Why do I want
to hear that? But you just made my night. You
just made my night. Okay. I think we should end
the call here. I think that's a perfect call. This
might be making the end.

Speaker 6 (25:35):
Of the year.

talking earlier about the celebrity role there at Madison Square Garden,
it kind of made me think of where are they now?
They're all at the Knicks game. That's where celebrities are now,
that's where they're at. They have a little place else

(28:37):
to go. And what a great way to be on
TV again. You know.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, there's a lot of celebrities that aren't like, they're
not really doing that much stuff these days. They were
famous twenty years and ago, so they've been still still relevant, yeah.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
To a certain degree, to a.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Certain greatest years or like ten fifteen years ago.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
I mean Robert de Niro too.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
You know, I don't think he was there. I didn't
see him. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (29:06):
Well, Ben, I won't take too much of your time
to thother callers on the line, but I just wanted
to say I really do appreciate you guys. You guys
do a fine jazz.

Speaker 1 (29:14):

Dallas stars and then poop and he jinks them didn't
He Justin in Cincinnati says that toilet flushing reminded me

(29:51):
of my calls to your show. Ben. I understand Justin
many of your calls ended like that back when you
used to call the show. Am at the Blind Seahawk
fan right since says that might have been the greatest
worst call of all time by Charlie right there. People
love Charlie. Charlie's a big star bird dog, says Charlie

(30:11):
for Caller of the year. After that flush, he's in
the running for call of the year. Milkman Mike says,
live stream of Charlie in the bathroom. I would like
to say, though, that was a magnificent flush, Like that
was a good party flush. They got good plumbing in
parts of Dallas. Think like, I'm gonna see the water
man on the back of that toilet. Charlie's live in

(30:32):
a big house there in Dallas. You know, they got
a big, nice plumbing, big pipes.

Speaker 7 (30:36):
You know.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
I bet his toilet seat is heated. Wow, nice warm
tookis when you're sitting at the almost every toilet seat
in Japan, as he did Dallas, though, King Roy writes
and says, a wisconsinight, I will stand for this slander
of Appleton. They have at least five places to do

(31:00):
stuff at. Plus, Appleton wasn't named the second drunkest city
in the United States for only having one establishment. No,
I can take shots. I have family in Appleton. I'm
allowed to take shots at Apple. You go to Appleton,
You've got there's that that street in downtown Appleton where
the big hotel is, and then you've got the Harry

(31:21):
Houdini Museum, and then you've got like the Fox River
like walk area, and that's about it. That's it, that's
everything you need. Snappers, Oh got Coop went to bean Snappers,
So that's big. Absolutely. Ferg Dog says Ben, thanks for
posting the rundown. Unlike he who must not be named,
I realize you can't rush perfection. Finding the right emojis

(31:42):
takes time. People, that is correct, Just cook those emojis
up at all supermarket. Steve is still upset. He says,
can you push off my Polish brothers? Puzzemski? I only
have three Polish players in the NBA. You're ripping one
third of them, he says. So he's upset by that

(32:03):
hammer and Hank writes in and says, the Warriors cannot
win without Steph Curry. He should be called the injury
hot should have called the injury hotline when he got hurt.
Let the fire sell begin very soon. Yeah, I don't
think that's I don't think that's happening. Salo to Jerome,
bring it home, Jerome and Charleston.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Hello, Jerome, Hey, I don't have any bathroom jokes for you, Ben,
I'm just going to give you my opinion.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Okay. It's like I told you that the NBA is
very desirous of that New York money. And the more
the next win the lot. The price keeps going up. Man,
the prictice keeps going up. It's just like I told you,
he want that money.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Man. Yeah again, though, Jerome, it's been a generation since
the next we're even into the final four, a generation
twenty five years. Why didn't they want the money any
of the last twenty five years? Why now do they
want the money?

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Good Night? They won their first I was watching, I
was old, thirteen years old, because they're born in Argus.
So it was May and May. Yet I was like
thirteen going on fourteen years old. But I'm gonna tell
you this, Games Times is gonna be a war, all right.
The shop's gonna go home. They're gonna play inspires.

Speaker 6 (33:16):
I don't think they're gonna lay down.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
You know, I'm not sure if they're gonna win or not.
But they're gonna go home. They're gonna hit the back
the backboards. They gonna hit the backboards. Really are okay,
it's gonna be rebounding galore. Maybe they're gonna inspire some
of those old shopping ghosts from the past, you know
when the parkas floor and the dance in the floor
and the library legends and all that.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
There's no there's no dance on the floor.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
And yeah, but maybe they'll be a damsticks. Who knows,
maybe they'll be a gamestack. But the price this keeps
going up.

Speaker 6 (33:51):
Man.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
And by the way, sad Anthony Edwards, you know, he
may not want to be the facing the NBA, but
he keeps electrifying a crowd like that. He may I
have with choice, all right, and the fun Jordan goes
there must be the hair. Here's a check like the
numbers in that you want, and we'll pay it because
it has.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
To be well, yeah, Jordan, now you're referring to we
were gonna t we tease that. But Jordan got a job.
He's gonna do some stuff at NBC. But I hope
they still have enough money for me at NBC. I
mean I would. I would hate to think they're just
giving all that to Jordan's I have.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
Money for you got Michael Jordans, I I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Well, here's the problem with Jordan. Has Jordan ever said
anything interesting?

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Of course not. Man, he's corporate man, you got you
gotta keep it, got to cast those checks.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, yeah, the whole the whole thing. A lot of
these ex jocks, they don't get it. Like the whole
thing that separates those that are good and those that
are not is self deprecating humor. Charles Barkley makes fun
of himself all the time. Will Michael Jordan ever make
fun of anything about Michael Jordan? I doubt it. There's
no reason he would.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
He's kind of a serious kind of guy. I don't
I don't look for him to be, you know, slapstick
like those guys. Dude, he's kind of a serious kind
of guy the way real see. But I'm sure they're
paying him a ton of money.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
I don't think they are. I don't think they are.
He he didn't need money. He's got more money than
he can live in this life and a hundred other lives.
It's not it's not about the money.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
You never can be too rich things, you know.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Somebody has pointed out to me that it's uh Jordan's Yes,
I'm very rich. Yes, I'm very rich.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
You got a circle now, man, Man, that's where rich
people talk. My circle.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
All damn No, my posse, I got my posse.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
It's all the same bit, all right, all right. Maybe
I'm looking for to game six.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Maybe maybe he's a maybe he's a weasel like soft word.
It's not a strong word. You gotta have a take.
And that's not right. I mean, maybe maybe this, Maybe
that if some butts were candy and nuts would be
Christmas every day. All right, I gotta go, Jerome. I'm
up against the clock, as they say. This portion of

And the Chargers are set to open the NFL season
with a home game in Brazil against the Chiefs. Now,
they could have picked picked up to two games to
protect or keep in Los Angeles, but the team did
not use those protections on any of their AFC West rivals.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
Do you think this is a bad move by the Chargers. Yes.
First of all, I have friends that are part of
the Chiefs whatever traveling party, so the only time I
see him is when they come to play the Chargers.
So I'm not gonna be able to see him unless
I go to Kansas City or go to Vegas or
something like that. So they're screwing me over. Bad job
by them. Number two, don't you want your fans to

(39:24):
see mahomes?

Speaker 3 (39:25):
Like?

Speaker 1 (39:26):
What are you doing next?

Speaker 7 (39:28):
Texas quarterback or former Texas quarterback Quin Yours was the
last quarterback taken in the NFL Draft all the way
in the seventh round. While you weers admitted that he
didn't expect to follow that far, he did say that
he's got the same opportunity as everyone else. Ben, do
you expect yours to outplay his draft position?

Speaker 1 (39:43):
I don't. But they said that the reason he was
drafted so low was because they thought he was essentially
a diva and he couldn't handle being a backup. So
if he proves them wrong, this guy was mister everything
in college football. I remember when he was like the
first nil guy going to Ohio State and all that.
I don't expect much. I don't next.

Speaker 7 (40:01):
TMZ caught up with Rams star defensive back Quinton Lake,
who said that Matthew Stafford is one hundred percent to
Hall of Famer and that he should get in easily.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Do you agree with him? No, he's never been an
All Pro. He's been a Pro Bowler. Who cares about that?
Never been an All Pro? Never been an All Decade team? No, no, no, no, no,
How do we do he passes it? That is a
Wed player on the park.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
I'm won, Lorena.

Speaker 1 (40:24):

say that.
