Speaker 1 (00:00):
Around the world. Well, come in. It's our number three,
our number three. The NFL preparing for another international game
this weekend, and we talk about that here on the
Ben mal Show on this Friday, the third day of October.
Is there an appetite for more American football via the
NFL internationally? Big plans from Roger Goodell. Also, what is

(00:23):
your read on super agent Drew Rosenhaus saying the Cheetah
would like to stay at the Miami Zoo with the Dolphins.
That's Tyreek Hill with Miami. We'll talk about that. And
can you parse the words of Bengals wide receiver Jamar
Chase saying that everything he does is pretty much overblown?
Moo who who got that for you? As well? Also

subscribe to Ben Maler Show channel if you want to
get the Maulard monologues on video. But here it is
our number three. They are the barn storming ballers taking
over the world. An invasive species. Welcome. In the beginning

(01:12):
of another hour of The Ben Mahler Show. We are
in the air ay where neighboring As we ride out
the storm coast stuck cooast, border to border and beyond
on the vast and rollickingly powerful microphones of fs are

(01:33):
ammating live from the stand. Not Kazakistan or Rezbekistan. It's
Mallard Stan from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
as approved by Wayne from Southey, who famously showed up
to a Malard meet and greet at the Cask and
Flagon in Boston and said he had been sober for many,

(01:55):
many years and then of course got completely hammered because
he blamed me my fault. Yes, it is all right anyway.
This portion of the Ben Mather Show made possible in
part by our friends at tire Iraq. For over forty years,
ty Iraq 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

(02:19):
options like mobile tire installation, tire rac dot Com, The
Way Tire Buying show.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Me.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
So we're back at it here. At the Baseball Playoffs
Wild Card Thursday three games, you had the Tigers winning
on the road and exterminating the Cleveland Guardians. The Bridges
are knocked out there in the first game. Then you
had the Chicago Cubs getting her done for Tree in Chicago,
very confident. Tree was very confident in the Cubs won

(02:52):
and never really in danger. It's hard to be in
danger when the Potterys don't do anything until late in
the game. And you had the New York Yankees with
Cam Schlittler getting it done on the mount. So the
Yankees have said bye bye to the Boston Red Sox.
They all advance day off today. Baseball playoffsers whom on

(03:12):
Saturday with the Divisional round best of five, best of
five Divisional Round. We had a wacky NFL game on
Thursday night, the La Rams, an eight and a half
point favorite. They did not show up in the first half,
came back tied the game, should have won, the game,
could have won the game, would have won the game
except fumble Ruski and they lost game. But I'll leave

(03:34):
this hour from across the Atlantic Ocean, we go to London. Now,
the Vikings and the Browns getting ready to play Rock
Paper Scissors. You've got Carson Wentz versus Dylan Gabriel. Tickets
are available, so Roger Goodell filling the content kitty from
the UK, making Terry in England very happy. I haven't

(03:57):
heard from Terry. I thought we'd hear from Terry. He's
a big, trash talking forty nine apologist. But I must
be sleeping. Maybe he's working. I don't know anyway, So
Roda Goodell came out and was pumping his chest out
like a banti rooster and wanted you to know, and
me to know, and every man, woman and child to
know in the world that the NFL will be traveling

(04:19):
abroad a lot more. They'll be returning to Mexico next year.
So the NFL is going to Mexico. They'll be playing
their first regular season game in Asia. They played some
exhibition games over there. Play a first regular season game
in Asia. That'll be happening soon. Roger Gedell also said
in London that the league has every intention of being

(04:43):
a truly global sport, which means playing games in many
more countries. Mentioned in Mexico City, they've hosted five regular
season games. They're going to get a sixth regular season
game in Mexico that'll be coming up next year. Australia
will get its first regular season game next year. I
think the Rams I believe are playing in that mentioned

(05:04):
Asia already. They're getting some games now the NFL, I'm
sure they want to play everywhere. They'd put a game
in peong Yang if they could make enough money on it.
So let us discuss the question, and this is a
pretty obvious question that needs to be asked. Is there
an appetite? Is there an appetite for more American style
football via the NFL internationally that they're outsourcing the American

(05:27):
football to a global audience, But does the global audience
want that? So I've got Gladiator cosplay, Ragdall and WKRP
reruns in Cincinnati. So first of all, to answer the question,
is there an appetite globally for American football the NFL internationally?

(05:51):
And I'm shaking my head, no, rapid fi. I'm gonna
get dizzy if I keep doing this. No, my eyes
are closed a little. But see, Roger Goodell's got the
NFL going full star trek, right, They're going full star
trek here they are, you know, the Globe, the Final Frontier, Mexico, Australia, Asia.

(06:15):
Roger Goodell's doing some kind of weird cosplay like our
old nemesis Captain Kirk. He's doing Captain Kirk. It's setting
the coordinates to Shanghai, Melbourne and tim buckto and wherever
there's a patch of grass the NFL would like to
make some grass. He wants to boldly go Roger Goodell

(06:38):
where no man has gone before, wearing an American football uniform.
Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. Unfortunately, there is no appetite for
this overseas, not a legitimate appetite, none, zero, zippo buppkis.
It's not my opinion, it's a fact. This is not soccer,
this is not Formula one. This is a niche sport

(07:00):
outside of the United States. It's one of the things
that's truly American. Hey, listen, we have, you know, Canadian
football in Canada, which is very popular. But that's that's it, right.
They're what they're doing is they're shoving it down people's
throats in places that they're really not that into it.
It's not organic, that's my main point. It's not organic.

(07:22):
It's targeted marketing. It's curiosity tourism. The locals are not
dying to see Jacksonville versus Indianapolis in Tokyo. They're not
it's mostly expats, Americans living abroad. I know from boots
on the ground in the UK over the years. The

(07:42):
NFL has been playing in London and abroad there for many,
many years, and I've had people that have called me
up or been correspondence for email, pen pals that have
reached out to me. And we have a lot of
people listening on the American Forces Network, which is the
military broadcast, which we're lucky to be on on military
basis all over the world. And so we have people

(08:04):
that listen to us because we're on during the daytime
in a lot of these countries, and they'd be like, yeah,
there's bus trips from our military base. We go over
to London. When the NFL gives us tickets at a
discount price, we go over there and watch we watch
the game. There's a lot of that going on, right
There's a lot of that going on. And it's it's
the dudes in London with Patriot jerseys because they happen

(08:26):
to move there, whether they're there for work or something else,
or school or whatever. The NFL does not have a
footprint globally. It's driving them insane to the membrane that
they don't. It's not religion like it is for a
lot of us here in the States. In the States,
it's you're going to the tabernacle. You're going to the

(08:46):
church over there, or the temple or whatever over there.
It's like, Hey, what's that weird gladiator cosplay thing that
happened at Wembley today? Do you know what that is? Meanwhile,
who do the NFL owners end up giving the screwge
job too? Ding Ning Ning Nate. That's right. The base,
the base you're screwing over your season ticket older is

(09:08):
the people who are the most loyal, the most dedicated,
the most passionate, people who have been with you through
the snow, the cold, the blackouts, the bad games and
all that. And they lose a home game and the
NFL is trying to send better games across oceans. They
lose a home game, so Roger Goodell can play global ambassador.

(09:32):
Whoopede dam do like, look at me, I'm global. You're
giving away good games now. It used to be the
bad game. Now they're trying to give away better games
here abroad. And you're telling the real fans, I suck it,
you know, That's what you're telling them. It's gonna take,
using malardmath, forty years. The math on this is forty years.

(09:53):
A generation is twenty years. Some say twenty five, some
say thirty. I say twenty. So if it's twenty years
in a generation, that means two generations. That means you've
got to from birth right kids go into the world.
The circle of life. You start out, you get through
the school, you end up getting a job, You typically

(10:13):
end up getting married, maybe you have kids, or you
don't have kids, but by that point it usually happens
twenty twenty five somewhere there. When you're done with school,
you start working, and then you start your own life,
and you've you've got to raise kids with helmets and
shoulder pads and little NFL onesies in do that in
places like Beijing and Melbourne and Perth before you see

(10:36):
any real traction. And in the meantime it's a carnival act.
It is an absolute leaping carnival act. The NFL is
like a traveling circus. You send the elephants to Mexico,
the trapeez act goes over to Sydney. You've got some
clowns that go over to Asia. Step right up, come
see American football. It's a freak show. Got the fire

(10:56):
breather over there, the sword swallower in the back right me.
One page two, we go to Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami,
where Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill would love, would love
to stay with the team. He's not gonna play any
time soon, planning on returning from the season ending career
threatening knee injury as the leg was bent the wrong direction.

(11:21):
This courtesy of his agent, Drew rosenhaus the powerful agent,
relaying that information via a local TV station in South Florida.
Question for the esteem panel, what is your read on
the super agent saying the cheetah would like to stay
at the Miami Zoo, would like to stay with the Dolphins.

(11:43):
So this one is rather easy to decode. It is
you don't need to have a high sports IQ. It
is Please pay my guy, Drew Rosenhauss, Please pay my
guy one more time. I'd like some more money. I
get a commission. I would like more money. And I
say good luck Tyreek Hill. Well, by the time he
comes back whenever that is, will be coming off a

(12:04):
full blown out tire. But it's worse than a tire
because you can replace a tire. It's very hard to
be a professional athlete and replace a knee, blown out, knee,
shredded ligaments, the whole thing. He's gonna be thirty two
by the time he plausibly starts coming back. And the

(12:25):
one thing that separated Tyreek Hill at his peak with
Kansas City and Miami from the rest of the league,
head and shoulders above everyone else was he was a
speed race. We all know that. And even if he
does return, he's going to do the dip, right, And
you lose a half a step, even if it's just
a half a step, you go from the cheetah to

(12:48):
just another rag doll house cat. That's it. So are
you gonna pay big money for a rag doll house cat?
I get it, I totally get it. Life is about
playing the cards. You're a delt and Drew rosenhal is
rose and I is a very powerful agent lives in Miami,
and he's trying to play them and get the deal,
try to plant the seed and all that and get

(13:08):
the numbers. And but here's the deal. Half a loaf.
If your Tyreek Hill is better than none, right, half
a loaf is better than none. And if you're hungry,
you'll do it. And Tyreek Hill is plotting with his
agent for another contract. However, he's going to have to
settle for a much smaller deal coming off injury. You're
not the Hontye at the bar anymore. You know, you

(13:30):
have to go through that at some point. You know,
the hot girl wakes up one morning she's no longer hot,
and you still have to live your life. It's a nightmare,
I know, right, but you still have to live your life,
and you have to adjust. And not everyone's gonna kiss
your ass, and not everyone's gonna get buy your free
drinks anymore. And you know that's the you'd be like
the other ugly people in the world. But teams are
going to hit you with the Tyreek Hill, with the

(13:51):
old sugar Loaf song. Don't call us, We'll call you.
Don't call us, We'll call you, and you know, thanks,
but no thanks. But the whole league is going to
look at him and say, all right, let's do the
ven diagram. So you've got really good career, really shady
off the field activity, but really good career. Appreciate the memories.
I appreciate the memories, but we do not need a

(14:13):
rebuilt knee and declining speed. We're good, all right? Now,
final point and a final thought. We go to Cincinnati
is where we go? Where Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase
getting ready to play the Lions this weekend of the game,
Cincinnati should lose by about seventy points. So Jamar Chase
is annoyed. That got our attention. Yeah, Jamar Chase, wide

(14:36):
receiver Cincinnati Bengals annoyed with the now viral clip of
him screaming and shouting, reading right in the face of
his embattled coach Zack Taylor, a heated interaction on the
sidelines of the Week four loss to the Broncos. Now,
when asked if he thought that incident with the Bengals

(14:57):
coach Zach Taylor was over and that's the word that
was used, Jamar Chase answered, everything I do? He said,
everything I do is pretty much overblown. Close quote question,
can you parse the words of the Bengals disgruntled wide
receiver Jamar Chase saying everything he does is pretty much

(15:20):
over blown? All right? So on this one, this is
the Jamar Chase. I don't know if you buy tickets
for it. It's his pity tour. It's it's like dua lipa,
but it's a pity tour. He's he's pulling the Woe
is Me routine is what he's doing on this one.
And you play in Cincinnati. Cincinnati is a good time right,

(15:42):
Northern Kentucky's where your airport is. If you live in Cincinnati,
you're in market number thirty four, TV market number thirty
four where Skyline Chile is a local delicacy. Skyline Chili
was justin who lives in Cincinnati says is less less
attractive to him than vomit. You have WKRP and Cincinnati,

(16:04):
the iconic TV show where reruns or streaming of WKRP
in Cincinnati is it's like a cultural export. WKRP in Cincinnati.
And as God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Greatest line ever on a sitcom? Does anyone disagree with
that greatest line ever on a sitcom? WKRP the radio
station promotion the turkey drop, And as God is my witness,

(16:28):
I thought turkeys could fly.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Anyway, back to the monologue, So nobody, nobody is overblowing
anything unless you count balloons at Octoberfest in Cincinnai.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
If you so much as raise your voice on the sideline.
Of course, it is a story, because otherwise the story
out of the market is Bengals fans mad about bridge traffic,
you know, Bengals fans upset about concession lines. This is
the star player screaming in the coach's face. It is

(17:03):
a classic trope of sports. When this happens, it's a story.
It's just not normal. That's not just having a pow
wow on the silence. It's not just talking. And you
know what this is. Jamar Chase is trying to play
the victim card. Except he's playing the victim card. He's
dealing it from the bottom of the deck right like

(17:25):
some shady poker player at the jack casino. Jamar's got
one hundred and twelve million Geronte guaranteed dead president. It's
a lot. So the point of this is he can
afford Jamar Chase an emotional support miniature horse, a really
nice miniature horse, and he can have it on the

(17:45):
sidelines before games and after games. He can walk that
little miniature horse up and down the sidelines, up and
down the white lines. He can let it eat the
divots on the field and just have a nice meal there.
It can be friends with Kirk Kirbstreet's dog, Peter. I
can be friends with kirkirbstreet stog Peter. And when you're
cashing checks like that, don't get to say everything is overblown.

(18:09):
And so I'm sorry, not sorry. You are the franchise
wide out. You're the face of the team because Joe
burrows out right now. So it's Jamar Chase's team and
you're not some practice squad gunner, some roster fodder. And
that's football, that's life. That is how all of this works.
It is the Ben Mallor show in how this works

(18:31):
now is I give out the number, and then you
decide whether or not you want to call, and you
make that decision. I can't make that decision for you.
You'll have to make that decision. Eight seven seven. You
write that down eight seven seven nine nine six six
three six nine. You see that's the number. Eight seven
seven nine nine six six three sixty nine. If you

(18:52):
want to be part now, if you don't want to
stay on hold, you can call. You don't have to
call in. You can send us a message on X
get a lot of messages. Can't guarantee I'll see it.
I can't guarantee I'll read it. You can send it
in follow the show at Ben Mahler, tag me at
Ben Mahler, and I scroll through the messages and if
it catches my attention and I think it's worthy of

(19:12):
being read and other people need to hear it, I
will do that and I'll read it on the air
eight seven seven nine nine, six six three sixty nine,

for the Mallor Riddle of the day. And here's the
Mallor Riddle of the day. College football commentator Kirk Herbstreet

(22:13):
recently compared his dog Peter to blank. That is the question.
What's the answer? Ican, Roseville, Minnesota, said Vladimir Putin. Donkey
sausage said Blue from Blue Clues. I like the sausage. Well,
that's a good looking dog. Blues Blues clues. I missed
that show fer dog, says Justin in Cincinnati's girlfriend. Whoof woof,

(22:39):
Asher's going with my wife the great Rodney Dangerfield back
in the day, King Roy says the Rocky Mountain oyster pizza. Well,
that looks great unless it doesn't alf the alien ol
Piner says he compared his dog to a thoroughbred Corgi.
I recognize that Corky. I've met that Corky. The testicles

(23:00):
this see. Doug in South Korea says, soulmate, poop a lot?
What else Lizzie's twin only in the face, though, I
don't want to give the pooh to complex. He said,
that's far out. Dave, very far out. Dave aoc from
Justin and Cincinnati, big fan. I know Justin is of her. Politically,

(23:23):
Rob in Minnesotas has compared his dog to the Chargers
security guard. Interesting Rosie O'Donnell from Chris and Kent, Washington.
That's his answer. Late night drug tester said Pat McAfee's
drinking problem is the answer to the life of the
showgirl from mister Irrigation deep in the heart of Texas

(23:45):
there in Houston. What else do we have nature Boy says,
compared his dog Peter to Howard Cosell. Speaking of sport, JT.
The Wingman says, Pete of the Little Rascals Hercules guessed
by Johnny Q. Mister Irrigation also said the best sitcom
Thanksgiving episode of all time? Absolutely? Absolutely? Uh. Justin in

(24:09):
Cincinnati says Skyline. Chili is the reason that Joe Burrow
is always hurt per my sources. All right, that's from
Justin in Cincinnati. Does anyone else know the answer to
the riddle the juicy Lucy from Tom that's his ansl
answer Kirk's favorite greyhound on which to bet at the track?

(24:32):
That's from Malaprop. Well you have the answer, Laray, do
you have the answer? College football commentator Kirk Kirk Street
recently compared his dog Peter to Blank, a crack addict. Ben, Well,
you know what, You're actually right, it is a crack addict.
I'm like, you know, it's well similar Taylor Swift, it

(24:52):
was answer, was that Taylor Swift? So yeah, a legend. Well,
you know, he said Taylor Swift. I mean he said
the dog, he said. When he travels, people want to
take photos with the dog. You want to get a
nice photo with the dog more popular than he is,
I guess, I guess so. Yeah, I wonder how he's

(25:13):
able to get the dog into these stadiums because typically
they don't allow you just to bring a dog unless
you need it. Although I did see the Dodger game
the other night somebody brought a dog and it didn't
look like it was a service dog. It looked like
it was a fan dog. And it wasn't a bark
in the park event. Now they have bark in the
park where you can bring the dogs in, but it
wasn't bark in the park. Yeah, it's just a normal,
a normal thing. It's crazy. Jonathan writes, and he says,

(25:37):
I miss this show. I used to listen every night
when working in Nashville. It's been years now since I
have listened. But I really don't think I have the
time to get back in with everything else I have
to listen to each week unfortunately. Like, so, let me ask,
what why would you bother sending that message? I don't
just like I'm a douche. Just right, Hey, I'm a douche.

(26:00):
I don't have to send that message like if it's
important the way it is important enough you'll find time
for it. If it's not important enough, you will not
find time for it. So it's not like that big
a deal. If you value what the show is, you'll
make it work. Let's go back to the phills. Let's
say hello to Andrea in Berkeley. She's the astrology insider.

(26:22):
She's got all the dirt on these storylines. Wild Ram
forty nine er game, Baseball playoffs, Cam Schlickler or whatever
his name is, pitching gray for the Yankees. Hello, Andrea, Welcome.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Hello, oh Ben, how are you?

Speaker 1 (26:37):
If I was any better, I'd be a sock, but
not a Red Sox because if I was a Red Sock, well,
I've been vacation right now. That's not bad to be
on vacation. People like vacation, right, that's good, right.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
I mean I do like this time of year with
the baseball playoffs and football, So obviously I watch the
forty nine ers and the Yankees. Obviously you know I'm
a Mets fan, but nonetheless, if it's Yankees, Red Sox,
so route for the Yankees, and can you pronounce Cam's
last name again for me? Please?

Speaker 1 (27:11):
So you want you're putting me on the spot here,
You realize that this is very dangerous. It could be
an fc SEE violation. But I will pronounce it right now.
Cam Slitler, Thanks Slitler, Schlittler, just call him Cam Slitler.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Okay. The reason I asked is because I said it
the wrong way when I spoke to Coop and we
had a good laugh about it, but we didn't want
to make the same mistake twice.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know there is there are
people been I guess this happened this week. Somebody in
Boston sent me a clip where one of the hosts
on the Sports Hub said he said the S word
on the air. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's easy.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
To do, you know, an honest mistake. So nonetheless it was,
you know, quite something. Twenty four year old rookie. He's
born February twenty fifth, two thousand one, and they get
younger and younger, and he's an Aquarius, and you know,
Mars is an important plan for an athlete who has energy, assertion, aggression.

(28:11):
He has Mars in scorpio, which is very strong and powerful.
As you know, you hang out with scorpios and Mars
is in scorpio now, so he's having a Mars return
Ben once every two years. So talk about you know,
right timing, being in the right place at the right time.
I mean, twelve strikeouts. It was like a masterpiece. And

(28:34):
I think Boone said something like a star is born.
You know, that was pretty exciting to see that. And yeah,
I mean you get to see these you know, he
just rose to the moment and no runs. He pitched
eight innings. You know, they let him go out and
pitch eight innings. And I'm kind of old school I

(28:54):
like to see that. So it was just, you know,
kind of a powerful performance and it was just really
inspiring to see that. And the Yankees obviously are advancing
to the next level.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
So it was just they're leaving the country. They're going
to Canada on Saturday, right o Kada. Yeah, didn't match
up their bad blood, right, they don't like each other,
right right. Yankee broadcaster mocked the Blue Jays. Blue Jay
broadcaster mocked the Yankees. So there's some good stuff there, sure.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, I know, I like this time of year with
the playoffs. You know, I kind of wish the Mets
were in there, but no such luck to say the well, I.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Don't know how they didn't get in. They're watching the Reds.
It amazes me. The Mets could not be better than the Reds.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, I know it'll be an interesting thing. But it
was just great to see that he really got a
nice ovation.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah, it was a good night, big night. Now he's
got to back it up in the in the American
League Divisional Series. Well, Andrew, thank you, have a great weekend,
and go in service. You want to say hello to Andrea.
She's the astrology insider on the show, and there she
goes where she goes, Well she's supposed to only know,
but we know she thinks that late night, early morning back.

(30:14):
Let's say hello to Manuel in Guardina, a legendary sports
talk radio caller. Manuel in Guardiana, Hello, Manuel, welcome, he's.

Speaker 6 (30:24):
In the air everywhere. Oh man, what a fiasco Friday
has become for um fans. Man that that was one
crappy game and crappy effort last night. I don't if
you noticed either. I want to address the elephant in

(30:44):
the room, the elephant side of the hits. Two of
your linemen had hits so big that they had these
barbecue covers over their helmets because they couldn't even get
league man dated riplic the helmets on these sat bastard
heads and then they go out and lay an egg

(31:07):
like that. Bennie, what the hell is going on with
your team?

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Man?

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Well, listen, I hope you're enjoying this. And uh, And
I'm not gonna I'm not I'm not gonna push back.
I'm not gonna say your quarterback is Gindo Smith. I'm
not gonna. I mean, I could do that. I could
do a whole thing on the Raiders and how embarrassing
it is to be a Raider Raider supporter. Uh, and
the fact that they've been an embarrassment for you for
twenty five years. But I'm not. I'm not gonna be

(31:32):
that guy. I'm not going to be that guy. It
was an embarrassing knight for the Rams. They deserve to
take a lot of heat. They didn't show up and
give it. All you have to do is show up,
give an honest effort to beat the forty nine erslop
with the Rams are not the only ones wearing those.
I don't know if you've noticed, Like every team in
the NFL is a couple of guys that have the
they call it. What does it called the special name

(31:53):
for it. I forget what Guardian cab. Guardian cab, Why.

Speaker 6 (31:58):
Did you become fan Francisco Giants?

Speaker 1 (32:01):
How am I a Giants fan?

Speaker 6 (32:03):
Well? Sure, Helena Dodgers fan. Every time I turn on
the show, you're bashing freaking Stable.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
I got I gotta count, I gotta one.

Speaker 6 (32:13):
Hell's wrong with you? Mad Well?

Speaker 1 (32:17):
I got I gotta counter all the other guys who
wear knee pads for the Dodgers, like Caves say on
those guys. So I don't wear knee pads. I I
hate that. And uh, listen to the Dodgers bullpens an embarrassment
that they do not have a championship level bullpen, and
nobody wants to talk about that. So I feel like
it's like it's probably the news service. It's embarrassing level team.

Speaker 6 (32:36):
You cute, and you better get ready because this train
is rolling right down back to back world championship status station.
Damn it.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Okay, I listen. I doubt that's going to happen, but
I hope it does. I hope you're right. I hope
you are right.

Speaker 6 (32:53):
You've done one of those barbecue cover ram oversized helmets
and all day round it all night bidding.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
All right. By the way, Gino Smith is the twenty
ninth rank quarterback in the NFL, which I'm told is
not good. And I didn't play in the NFL, so
maybe I'm wrong on that he's the twenty ninth rank quarterback.
He's worse than Spencer Rattler of the New Orleans Saints,
who's I'm told bad. I'm told he's bad, worse than that. Anyway,
