(02:25):
tire i raq dot Com The Way Tire Buying should

of the Week, which normally turns out to be a
radio roast of weed man hippie that's usually how that goes.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
That's usually how that goes. We'll see if that continues
here today, but we'll have that for you. Also.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
The Riddle of the Day will be coming up later.
I'm me get some email from people say, hey, you
know I heard your show.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
I know you, I know normally I'm not normally up
at this hour.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
That kind of bull crap, which I get. And so
if you like the show, we're here every night. And
if you work the day shift, some of you are shopping.
I guess there's a bunch of stores that are either
already open or been open all night or whatever. So
getting your TVs and your toaster, ovens and your air
fryers and all that good stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
So we are here every night during the week.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
And if you.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Can't stay up all night because you're a normal person,
God bless you. We have a podcast you can listen
whenever you want and check it out and it will
change your life in amazing ways. You'll snore like hollering James,
You'll goof on everyone like e Dog and blind Scott,
and it really tips the balance of power, really really dull.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
So here our lead this hour is from Motown.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
We go to Motown where Jordan Love was able to
convert a pair of fourth downs. You see this game,
were you watching on Fox with skinny jeans? Tom Brady, Yeah,
Kevin burkhart Man. So Jordan Love converted a couple of
fourth downs there into scoring passes in the first half
and finished with a career tying four touchdown throws.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I'm told that is good.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Sources close to the situation say the Packers end up
getting a touchdown win. They were dogs going into Motown.
Green Bay gets a thirty one to twenty four win
over the Lions. That was the early game, the early
game on Thanksgiving, green Bay getting her done on fourth down.
The pack went three for three on fourth down. They

(04:32):
scored twice as we mentioned, to seal the win. The
Lions turned it over on downs two times on their
fourth down attempts when they went forth. The Packers get
their eighth win of the year. This was a locked
in Packer team, not the Packer team that lost to Cleveland,
not the Packer team that got beat by Carolina.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
The Packer.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
This Packer team was good and they earn a tiebreaker
as their fight for a playoff spot in the NFC
North and they're in second place in the division behind
the Chicago Bears, who play later today at Fella Delphi.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
On Black Friday.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
And if you want that pick Benny versus the Penny
Benny Vspenny.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Available, you can get that pick right now.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
But the better story is in the losing locker room
where Dan Campbell I want to beat I want to
beat him up and I want to bite his kneecaps off.
Dan Campbell admitted his Lions have dug a little bit
of a hole.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
There's aletto bit of a hole.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
They're seven and five now on the season. Detroit's chances
of winning the NFC North are all but gone at
this point, third consecutive season they were trying to win
the division.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's not looking so good. It's not looking so good.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Right now for the team from Motown. That's a good
jumping off point. Let's discuss the question and what is
the temperature in the room. What is the temperates in
the room for Dan Campbell's Lions. I've got syllabus, casey
caseum and paper plates and we will combine all of

(06:15):
these things together and we are going to make some
leftover turkey sandwiches, is what we're gonna make and I just.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Enjoy that, enjoy that which is actually tastes better. It's
not great. It's one of the few foods.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
That tastes better reheated turkey. It tastes better the second
time than the first time. So our lead this hour
is the as we mentioned here, the Lions and the
question the temperature in the room for Dan Campbell and
all that. So to kick off though, checking the ACU
weather forecast the Lions right now, for some reason.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
It's freezing cold. It's glacial, is what it is. Right now.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
You can see Dan Campbell. It's cold, but he's still sweating.
He's got that flop sweat kind of going through his
hat and all that.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
The Lions are in survival mode.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Now there is a scenario where they don't even make
the playoffs. They're eighth in the NFC, and right now
they are not in the bracket. They're not in the
cool kids club. They're outside. They're the ugly redheaded step chow.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
They're out. It was a huge.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Placement test on Thanksgiving. They gotta have it game and
they didn't. They didn't answer the call placement test. The
Lion's answers were wrong. How wrong were they They were
so wrong that they deserve their own syllabus. That's how
wrong they were. Detroit played uphill and did the old floppero.

(07:44):
They fail, and it feels like the walls are starting
to close in on the Lions. And Jared Goff's numbers
were not horrific for the Lions. And if you just
watch the stats and you don't really pay attest to
say everything's fine, it's not. Gared Golf is on that
short list of quarterbacks that will tease you and you'll

(08:04):
be competitive.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
And you'll win a bunch of games. In the end,
we know how the story goes.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
He's just not cut out for those big moments in
those big games.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
It's just not his deal. That's it.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
And they built the whole season around winning the division.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
You always start out, I gotta win the division. Win
the division.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
And now they're praying that Seattle and San Francisco start
losing games to get a wild card. Berth as the division.
It's not over with. They play the Bears coming up
in a couple of weeks and that's a huge game
for the Lions.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
To get that done again.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Then they have the tiebreaker with the Bears who they
absolutely mollywopped the first time they got together.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
So it's not ideal.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
And there's a black cloud hanging over Dan Campbell's head
the size of Ford Field right now, and people starting.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
To act a little miserable. The margins are razor thin.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
The razor thin, the margins. And this is how it starts.
It always starts like this. It's the well, we're just
in a little.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Bit of a hole. We're just in a little bit
of a hole.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Then all of a sudden becomes quicksand then all of
a sudden you wake up and you're like, well, wait.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
A minute, how did I end up in the Grand Canyon?
I don't understand that. It was just a little hole.
What happened.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
It's like a sink hole in Florida swallowed you up.
There's no sinkholes here. What I don't understand. And so
that's the deal on that Campbell with his raw ros
beach is we like the bull crab.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
They don't land the same though.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
When you're losing as a favorite at home to the
Green Bay Packers and you're chasing to get in a
wildcard spot, the Lions are just a half step off,
and it's causing some holy hell here. And the half step.
Here's the thing about the NFL. The half step, that's
a cliff. And the Lions are inching inch by inch

(10:01):
by inch, the itsy bitsy spider towards the edge, and
Detroit still has the Cowboys, and they've got the Rams
up next on the schedule, games that they could lose
the way they're playing right now. And so you look
at the temperature and it's it's not lukewarm. The temperature
is panic room. That's the temperature. Panic room is the temperature.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
All right.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Furthermore, so, the game on Thursday, the early game, we
did have the drama orama from the zebras.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
You know what I'm talking about. No, you do, okay,
you do? You saw you saw this? Okay, okay, So
I'll give you a fresher course.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Wide receiver Romeo Dobbs had a touchdown came shortly after
Green Bay had committed a false start penalty. It was
a fourth down and one play on the Lions two
yard line. And you can see she saw the replays
or you heard about this. The Packers head coach Matt
LeFleur visibly gestured for a timeout after after the false

(11:12):
start penalty had happened. However, the referees honored his request
for a timeout, even though it came after the penalty.
Now the offense avoided the penalty, they maintained field position
the green Bay Packers and immediately capitalized. This was late
in the second quarter, so green Bay still had a

(11:32):
great chance to end the drive with points.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
But even if the penalty had happened.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
But this undoubtedly made things easier for the green Bay Packers. Now,
when asked about the much discussed timeout, coach matt LeFleur
offered a sly response. He said, quote, of course, he said,
of course, the officials got it right, he told reporters.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
And then he gave a wink, a winky mcwink.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Matt LeFleur said, of course, the officials got it right.
And then he used his right eye as a tell
and he winked. He gave the winky wink he did,
all right, So question, what did you think of the
packers getting a break from the referees. And then matt LeFleur,

(12:26):
the coach in green Bay, winking winky mckwink at the reporters.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
All right, So this was obviously not a timeout. That's
the first thing, I have to say, this was.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
A get out of jail free card with a bow
on top.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
And some gift cards, is what that was. Now the
next thing, you know, all right, next thing.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
You know, touchdown Dobs got in the hands on but
Lions fans, if you bet on the game, he aged
about five years on that drive alone.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
And then Lafleur goes to.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
The podium, He goes to the deist there and he
hits you over the head with the wink, the winky
mickwink he gave you.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
And where have we seen this?

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Boor?

Speaker 2 (13:10):
I was thinking about it, and this was as the
great k Cy Casem, the greatest DJ of them all,
Casey Casem would have done, who worked at the Premiere Networks?
And I almost killed them? He eventually did die, but
I almost killed them before that. The great case very
nice man, first shot, humble man. Casey case would have
called this a long distance dedication.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for
the stars.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, long distance dedication to Doink as in Doink the clown.
I don't know how old you are, but if you've
followed wrestling over the years, you might remember back.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
I think it was in the nineties. Believe it was
Doink the clown the wink member.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
You remember, right, that was that was ww F before
the ww you cheap shot and then smiled to the
cameras and what did the what was the wink do?
What the wink say? The doink the clown wink? It
was like, yeah, I just fleeced the system.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
What are you gonna do about it? What are you
gonna do about it?

Speaker 2 (14:09):
And listen, I know the officials are human, and I'd
rather have this than just have robots.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
I'd much rather have this than robots. Human beings make mistakes.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
But the wink that was gasoline on a smoldering tire fire.
The lions needed that stop, and instead they got doinked
from the top rope the elbow down and now the
lions are further behind the april and Matt Lafleur did

(14:41):
not beat them. He worked them, pulled the old rabbit
out of the hat, and then winked while the lions watched.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Their season go up and smoke is how that went? Okay?
All right?

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Now, the last thing we go continue with the theme
here theme of the hour and packers Edge Rusher Micah
Parsons Micah Parsons announced that he is the NFL's quote
best defensive player. This after the Packers Thanksgiving Way, Parsons
did have a game to remember, and we rip him

(15:17):
when he doesn't play well. We goof on him when
he doesn't play well, and when he plays well, we
point that out as well, and a lot of the
Packer fan base can't handle that. I got angry emails
when Parsons didn't play well in games and I called
him out on it.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Well, he played well in this game.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
He had four tackles, eight combined tackles, two and a
half sacks, four quarterback hits, three tackles for loss, and
a partridge in a pair tree. So he had a
little bit of this, a little bit of that. He
was all over the place. Then postgame on Fox, he
did not stop cold Turkey.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
He kept going, he says.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Going into year five, Parsons is quote Parsons said, this
was the year I thought I was going to make
a big jump. I was going to be the best
defensive play the league. And I feel like I'm doing that.
Parson stated, I'm hitting on all facets in the running game,
pass game, and understanding situations just the full game as

(16:12):
a player.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
You're just young, growing and very talented. Blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
You talked about putting it all together now in year five,
and that's what he says. So question is Packers star
Micah Parsons the NFL's best defensive player. All right, so
we can play this cat and mouse game if you want.
Let's hold on here, let's pump the brakes. Though the

(16:39):
word best is like an ad for paper plates. Technically
it means as good as all the other paper plates
in that category, but Parsons clearly means he's better than
all the other players, which is a dangerous response. Now,
under the Mallard microscope, Parsons does not measure up financially.

(17:00):
He is at the very top of the mountain, so
good for him. He's buying dinner. He's buying dinner. But
under the Mallard microscope, Michael Parsons has accumulated some really
good stats. He's on pace for seventeen and a half sacks,
which would be good flying off the edge, becoming a
complete ballplayer. Unfortunately, the cheese melts next to the classic

(17:26):
Gira Deli chocolate brownies recipe.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's just in a different tax bracket. And we're talking
about the.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Guy in Cleveland named Miles, Miles freaking Garrett.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Ever heard of him? Yeah, who watches the Browns.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
He's already got eighteen sacks, playing in the Factory of Sadness,
that sweat shop in Cleveland, and still wrecking games even
though there's no one else worth their salt, And he's
still making unbelievable plays week after week, and he is
the betting favorite, the betting favorite for defensive Player of

(18:00):
the Year. It's Miles Garrett, who is better case close,
case close. It is the Ben Mahlor Show as we

where we attempt to test the boundaries of time and space.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Here is the malor riddle of the day.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Scientists say that blank works as well as the popular mouthwashes.
All right, that is the question. What is the answer?
And let's see does anyone know the answer? We go
to the great unwashed here.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Well, some of these things. I cannot a lot.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Of Doc mic references. Who did, by the way, call in?
He called me on my I hadn't heard from him

the middle of the.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Sticks of Missouri and he was going down south somewhere.
Rob in Rob's the Goat Man.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
He says jet fuel works as well as most of
the popular mouthwashes, Nacho cheese, sauce from Doc Dan soap.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
What else do we have?

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Eggnog from Milkman Mike in Colorado, a bidet from Bobby
in Florida. Malard prop Guy says the Fernando Tatis Junior
ringworm ointment and elixir that is late night drug tester
approved unless it's not what else we have?

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Headlight fluid from King Rory. That's his answer. Stale plato.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
A few things more disappointing than stale Plato from Late
Night Drug Tester. Pickles of course from Alf the Alien Opiner.
Buffalo trace bourbon from J T JT.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
The Wingman said. That's what he he said.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Coconut oil from filler Up Phil. That's his answer. Dish
soap from Gunner the panther Apologist. Thanksgiving some kind of
thanksgiving nonsense from nature Boy.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
What else do we have? Page down plungers from Mike
the Leprechaun. Let's see what if I'm reading these other ones?

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Here?

Speaker 1 (23:27):
No, all right? The correct answer to the Mallord riddle
of the day.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Scientists say that garlic mouthwash. Garlic mouthwash works as well
as the popular.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Mouthwashes. It's science. It's gotta be gotta be the way
I love garlic. Most people don't enjoy garlic. They don't
appreciate the powers of garlic. But they did.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
A survey of study, the Journal of Herbal Medicine or
whatever it said.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
What did it say?

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Page down here went through everything, went through all the
different properties of garlic and compared it to the mainstream mouthwash,
and the evidence suggested it was just as good and
without the side effects.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
There's no side effects.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
I know.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
If there's side effects from mouthwash, I don't know. Anyway,
there it is.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
They say a global consumption of garlic reach departsently thirty
million metric tons in twenty twenty four, China dominating consumption
and production, accounting for nearly eighty percent of the global
supply of garlic in the worldwide garlic extract market valued

(24:40):
at over fifteen billion. I should have gotten into big garlic.
I missed my calling. I could have gotten into big garlic.
Bad job by me are. Let's go to the phones
and let's say he load to eenie Meeni Mini Mo.
Let's say a loa to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Hello, hollering Jame.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Hey, Edny, what do you think of this new quarterback?
Matt Hargrove Where wherever his name is? The University of
Minnesota kids going in for J J. McCarty. Because he's
gonna be Sam Donold.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
I believe he will be Tommy Kramer two point zero.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Tommy Kramer.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
That's a name from the past.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Remember when we met him back in the past.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Ben, Yes, Tommy Kramer showed up to the Malor meet
and greet we did at the Mermaid in Minnesota. He
was there representing the Vikings and it was an honor
to meeting.

Speaker 7 (25:37):
But I don't know my wife, Ben, I'll never forget
that night, the same night that I went to the
Ring James s Concert and Saint Paul Minnesota.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
I didn't know you did that that night. I had
no idea you went to the concert. What a night
that was amazing.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
I went there where I took Jack everywhere. Jack took
mehes in and driving.

Speaker 7 (26:01):
Man, you come out to Minnesota, you feel a hoover
and you've come to see me in your hoober.

Speaker 3 (26:38):

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Yes, noah, man, you know what I should have won,
that had the first two.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Now you're whining. Why would you whine? There's no need
to wint.

Speaker 7 (26:59):
Well, I will cheese with that one. Did you see

Speaker 1 (27:25):
All right, thank you? Hollering James call in talk radio
kids right there. What was the song he was playing
in the background. I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
His favorite song is thirty six pills in the morning,
thirty six pills at night. Unfortunately, the staff that I
work with refuses to put that in the system, so
we cannot play it unless they're here.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
It sounded like dirty laundry.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
That would sound like, yeah, okay, all right, that's uh
your old DJ Mark back in the day.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
You're back, Yes I am, And I also play a
doctor on the radio.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Okay, and you might want to take two pharmacy greade
your profen and call me in the morning.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Do you see that Rick Fox?

Speaker 2 (28:02):
The the former NBA player Rick Fox is now running
for political office in the Bahamas for the Bahamas House
of Assembly in twenty twenty six. He announced this week
on social media. Rick Fox played with the Celtics and
the Lakers, and he was born in Toronto to a
Bohemian father is that how you said? And Canadian mother

(28:26):
before moving to the Bahamas. And I guess see that's
where he's hanging out these days.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Rick Fox must be tough there. He moved there when
he was a child. I think he lives in la
though I don't know, maybe moved after he was done playing.
The best teeth ever, he has a really nice, good
dental Yeah, that's thought smile is like the million dollar
smile and of Rick Fox.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
No, I just, I just, I just that's just a
memorial thing about him, like you know, being on the
Lakers in that time period.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
I just always remember his teeth, A lot of really
good teeth. Gotcha, I understand.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Well, Well, we do have a fun fact of the
Hour Maler show. Fun factor, fun fact, fun fact, fun fact,
fun fact. It comes from the fun fact benefactor or beneficiary.
I'm the beneficiary alf says in the nineteen fifties, donut
shops were among the first food businesses to stay open
late at night. They became popular spots for police officers

(29:24):
working the night shift, as these shops provided officers with
a place to eat, complete paperwork, and take a break.
That is why donuts became associated with cops.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
They go.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
So if only I'm thinking about other businesses, like any
laundry mats are open, But you can't really get a
snack at a laundromat, you know, it's not you can't.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Really do that. That didn't really work. So well, let's
go back to the phones, and who do we have.
Let's se Anie Meenie miney Moll. Let's say hello to
his art there and San Diego. Is he still hanging on?
I don't know he's been on hold for what's going
on on? Are welcome, Marr?

Speaker 8 (30:02):
I'm just here driving passengers to and fro the employees
to the Sane Airport night media like you taking the
media travel dude, I haven't picked up very many people
at all today.

Speaker 7 (30:15):
Like all those news stories you.

Speaker 8 (30:17):
See about travel nightmares not happening here in San Diego.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Well that would but that's but but Art, that's the
day before Thanksgiving, like a couple of days before Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Now, no one's going to really travel till Sunday. Right,
Sunday is going to be a poop.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Showing no problem all weeks or so, no problem.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
They were great. The Great yard Shift is dead.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, there's not too many flights in San Diego at night?

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Right?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Don't they shut that thing down? Because you got to
land right over downtown San Diego. The flight path takes
you right over the skyline.

Speaker 8 (30:51):
It's crazy, look at it there for right now, there's
no flights at all coming are going?

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Hey, let me ask the question, Chargers, Greaters, who do
you like?

Speaker 7 (30:59):
Well?

Speaker 2 (30:59):
You watch Benny versus the Penny that will be up
later today. But I am going to take the Raiders
plus the points in that game and too many points
to what?

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Too many points?

Speaker 3 (31:08):
How dare you? That's like letting I called in. You
picked the game.

Speaker 8 (31:11):
I forget who they're playing, but you picked against my
Chargers and you lost that bet. So they're probably gonna
lose again.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
Okay, I hope.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Well we'll see about that.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
But listen, the Chargers have some issues on their offensive line,
and they gotta win the you're gonna blow out and
the Raiders have been bad, But most of the time
the Raiders don't get blown out. They just find a
way to screw up because Gino Smith stinks and they'll
find a way to blow it.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
So that's a bit hing does that work?

Speaker 8 (31:38):
How does Tom Brady own part of the Raiders and
get to be a broadcaster?

Speaker 3 (31:42):
How does that work?

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Because everyone's in bed with everyone in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
The more interesting question is how is Tom Brady who
owns like together with this other guy. He owns like
less than ten percent of the Raiders, and Mark Davis
is allowing him to make all the decisions for the Raiders.
He is the GM by proxy, and he's doing a
terrible job and no one will criticize him because if
you criticize him, and you're in the mainstream football media,

(32:08):
you will be blackballed. So Brady's not getting criticized by
hardly anyone despite doing a terrible job.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
He hired the wrong coach, I hired the wrong quarterback.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
He's already they have gotten rid of their special teams coach,
their defensive coordinator, and that's Tom Brady.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
He's terrible to go to.

Speaker 8 (32:28):
Go had a good coach at Jack del Rio. Whateppen
to that guy? Why they get rid of him?

Speaker 1 (32:33):
I mean, that's an old reference to Jack del Real.
That's like four coaches ago for the Raiders. Jack he
wasn't Washington. I don't know. I don't know if he's
still coaching somewhere. He's probably is, But I have no idea.
I gotta go. You're look at you're full of vetergy.
Be safe out there, San Diego.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
My god, ever been to San Diego and I got
my starting radio commercial radio in San Diego. And the
airport to land and you're literally flying over the skyline
of San Diego.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
It's the craziest, like the worst possible setup for an airport.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
And they remember years ago, twenty years ago, thirty years ago,
they were talking about building a new airport, making it
more functional for San Diego, and they never did and
never did just that one thing right there, All right,
we got coming up. I see weed Man's online. He's

Speaker 8 (39:12):
Why?

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Because beggars can't be losers. So Michael Leprechaun set that
