Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. It's our number three. What can Brown
do for you?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Mike Brown officially welcomed as the new coach of the Knicks,
and he was introduced as a guy who's gonna.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Bring championship pedigree to New York? How does that taste?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Also in college football, why is Texas quarterback Arch Manning
driving the pace car for the twenty twenty five Heisman
Trophy betting market. We'll discuss that and what stands out
about high profile coaches Dion Sanders and Bill Belichick not
able to work out deals with EA Sports to appear
(00:35):
in college football twenty six despite the game having a
real coach feature. It's coming your way right now, settle
in for our number three.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Welcome to brown.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Town, as it is the beginning of another hour of
the Ben mal Show.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
We are in the air free.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Where as we break rocks, make them little. Our Vodville

the moorter and beyond on the vast and wonderfully powerful
microphones of FSR amminnating live from the mine, the great mine,
(01:22):
I mean Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by not

dot com The way tire buying show. This hour is
from the Big Apple. A coaching move. Coaching move is official.
(02:05):
Now it's all official. The New York Knickerbockers have done
the thing you can't do at the time you can't
do it.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
They have pulled the trigger. They have done it.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
They have done it. They did it. They did it.
Did you see what they did and you didn't see
what they did? No? Well, the New York Knicks have
hired Mike Brown. Yes that Mike Brown. Yeah I know,
I'm Lebron's caddy. And yeah, I know he sucked with
the Lakers. I went back to Cleveland, sucked again. I know,
(02:38):
went to sacrament I got so let us discuss the question.
Mike Brown. Now he was welcomed as the new coach
of the Knicks. He was tagged as a guy bringing
championship pedigree to New York. So how does that taste?
How does that taste? So I've got racquetball, Kennedy's, and
(03:02):
government surveillance, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make some delicious banana
cream pie. The king of all pies is the banana
cream pie. It stands the top pie mountain, ahead of
the apple pie, ahead of every other possible pie combination.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Dear God.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Now key lime pie making a run on the outside
at the down the stretch marker, but only the authentic
Florida key Lime Pie, not to be confused with that
ripoff version of key lime Pie. So my first thought
on this is talking about Mike Brown as the coach
of the Knicks, and they're billing him as the guy
bringing championship pedigree to New York.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
So how does it taste?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It tastes like recycled hype with a side of desperation,
A big scoop full of desperation.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That's what it tastes like here.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
So you're telling me the Knicks, the team that they
love to talk about the fact they played the.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Mecca Mecca in Midtown Manhattan, the New York Knickerbockers, and
they are out here peddling this guard byes is what
they're doing here.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It's like the It's like the streets of New York
when you know, the evening comes and everyone puts the
trash out. That's the next They're putting their trash out
in front of the Mecca, Madison Square Garden, and they're
expecting the fans to eat it up like the subway.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Rats in Manhattan. Uh, that's what they're expecting here.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So the New York Press now they must think, like
many of these executives, that their fans are living the
island life. The New York Knickerbocker fans. Now, I'm not
talking about Staten Island.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
The New York Knick fan base. If you if you
read into what the Knicks are trying to sell here
with Mike Brown, they think that their fans.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Live on Idiot Island.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And I know the Staten Island ferry is kind of cool.
I don't think there's a ferry to Idiot Island. I
don't think that exists. But we are hoping, we we
are hoping that this is some kind of mistake.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
We don't think it is.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I understand certain fans always soak this stuff up, and
your eternal optimism reigns supreme no matter what, and all
that stuff. My god, though, I mean, this is a
hard cell. This is a tough sell. Mike Brown is
a meh coach, Just go yah and I'll put your
(05:23):
arms up. So he's certainly been around right in Cleveland twice,
La Sacramento as an assistant with the Golden State Warriors.
His Wikipedia page, Mike Brown's Wikipedia page screams decent, not dazzling.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Decent not dazzling. Yeah it does. So what can Brown
do for you? Good marketing slogan?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I know Tree is driving around Chicago and he said,
I know what Brown could do for you. But Mike
Brown has been bounced around more times than a racquetball
by a Weekend Warrior. A right, it's just the case.
He's playoff record. I think he's three games under five
hundred pedestrian record.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And here's Leon Rose, the big executive of the New
York Knicks, there.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Selling this higher like it's the second coming of pat Riley.
They got the guy championship pedigree. I love that phrase,
one of my favorite weasel terms. Championship pedigree. Now I
have done I did the math on, so I've done
Malard monologues after every NBA finals since the mid nineties.
(06:35):
I've been around for a while, so I've been doing
this for a long time. So that means, based on
my calculation using Malar math here, that I am qualified
to coach the Knicks because I know how to deliver
the championship pedigree of a Malar monologue when a team
wins a championship. So put me in coach. I'm ready
(06:56):
to replace you.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
What New York should have done is just admitted they
made a mistake and Tom Thibodeau.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It's our bad.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We want you back. It has happened before in other sports.
It could have happened here. They shouldn't have gotten rid
of Tom Tibera. They paid him thirty million dollars to
twiddle his thumbs and put suntan lotion on and go
to Europe. They're paying him thirty million dollars. I believe
to go way. Mike Brown is a middle manager. That
is what Mike Brown is. Because James Dolman made an emotional,
(07:28):
irrational decision, and he felt embarrassed because of an inferior team.
The Pacers beat the Knicks in terms of talent, and
so he had a hissy fit and he got rid
of his coach. But when you talk about Mike Brown,
middle manager, everyone, when they bring his name up, they say,
nice guy, Mike Brown, nice Scott, That's what they said, right,
(07:51):
Real players, coach players love him.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They love Mike Brown.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You hear from all the players, the assistant coaches in
the NBA, the media, the baseball or basketball scribs, basketball
scrips love them, right, they love them. And they talk
about how debonair, how approachable is, how real Mike Brown
is kind of guy you want to go out and
have a beer with, if you want to go down
to a pub and have a drink.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Right. And the thing that.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Is rather obvious here is when everyone talks about what
a nice guy Mike Brown is, they don't bring up
what a great x's and o's guy, mad tactician.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Mike Brown is. They don't. And they gush about how
professional he is, but they don't gush about him knowing
what he's doing. Fourth quarter, you know, motivating, motivational speech
and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Now listen. To be fair, I have been critical of
coaching in the NBA. I think it's generally more fluff
than anything. It's mostly babysitting and dealing with the media.
But there are a handful of coaches that do rise
above head and shoulders above.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I don't have Mike Brown and on that big board.
I don't. And I just.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Love when teams throw around championship pedigree and they talk
about the buzzwords like culture and grit and all that.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
So I just love that.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Man, is that great? I can't get enough of that
bull crap. I cannot cannot do it right all right now.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Secondly, we pivot all the way from New York City
to Austin, Texas the rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate
college football themed portion of the mal monologue.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So we asked the question, why why is Texas quarterback
arch Manning. Yep, that guy arch Manning driving the pace
car right now, driving the pace car for the twenty
twenty five Heisman Trophy betting market. More wagers, more money
(10:00):
has been put on arch Manning by a we are
told by a wide margin over on DraftKings than anyone else.
So why let us discuss. Now I have two words, Manning, DNA.
Put them together and there you go.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's your answer. Right, Not to to elongate that answer,
because I do have a talk radio show to do.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
That is the guy that won the genetic lottery. Now
he didn't win the full genetic lottery because a lot
of dumb people don't realize he is not the son
of Peyton or Eli Manning.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
That is not the case.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But nonetheless he is the quarterback equivalent, quarterback equivalent of
a royal flush. When you've got that last name and
Manning right, that name screams aristocrat of football is what
it screams, right, Peyton Eli Archie, the next wave, the
(10:57):
next wave of the first family of football right there,
right there, the heir to the throne, the next and
the great linegy of the Manning family there and the
crown Prince of Pigskin.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Ready to go. Now the draftking betters. The people that
have wagered are throwing money at arch Manning, the Texas quarterback,
like he is the second coming of his uncles or
his granddad or you know. Expand on that.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
But it's its name brand value. It is name brand.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Value, and that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It's kind of like, give you you're worried about telling
time you bet on Rolex, right, if you want to
drive a fast car, you want to bet on a
fast car, you bet on Ferrari or something like that.
And you don't need apparently you don't need to see
Arch Manning actually play a full season. Hasn't done that
for the Texas Longhorns. You just simply hear the name
(11:59):
Manning and your wallet starts twitching a little bit and
you're like, I got to click on that.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I got to put a couple bucks down on that.
I gotta do it. And oh, he's a Manning, all right,
let me put my four oh one k in there,
put my retirement fund, my kid's college fund in there.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
And it's not about the stats. No, no, no, no,
it's not about it. Nobody cares about the stats. It's
about the blood, the bloodline, that's all. It's all about.
The Mantings talk about the first family of football. They
are in American politics. People talk about the Kennedy's, right,
the Kennedy family. The Manings are the Kennedys of football scandal,
(12:37):
and all I believe they throw the football better than
any of the Kennedys, but they are the same in
terms of football scandal.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
And drama and power and all that stuff. You go through.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
This Now Peyton Manning people like to talk about it
because he's the yash Chucks pitch man. But Peyton Manning's
had a bunch of scandals in his career, going back
to Tennessee, the t bag scandal of Tennessee, I want
to google that.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Or there was the cheerleaders scandal with the Colts. There
was the.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Dark Side documentary which he accused his wife of being
a drug mule getting him performance enhancing drugs. Eli Manning,
there were multiple scandals there, Eli. They manipulated the NFL
draft arch Manning or Archie Manning rather the old man,
the grandpa of arch Archie Manning manipulating the draft, the
(13:26):
old San Diego Chargers. I said, we want this guy,
Eli Manning, and Archie Manning's.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Like no, he didn't want to play for San Diego
and so.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
They manipulated him go to the Giants where he was
a five hundred quarterback with the Giants. Also, people forget,
but Eli Manning was involved in a very serious bogus
game used sports memorabilia scandal, which he denied and then
paid hush money, paid a settlement to make that go
away when he was playing quarterback for the Giants. Now
back to Arch Manning, right back to Arch Manning. So
(13:57):
the Heisman bets and we're.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Told there are many. We have not put our money
on Arch Manning.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
But there are there are many, many bets because of
not championship pedigree, just Manning pedigree.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Right.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Now, DraftKings last I checked. Then we do have them
as an advertiser. They're not a charity.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
DraftKings is not a charity. They're in it to make money.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Uh, they're not taking all of those bets because Arch
is guaranteed to win.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
In fact, they're betting.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I would think DraftKings, he is not gonna win, He's
not gonna win, and uh, they're taking those bets apparently
if you if you believe these reports, Uh, just seeing
the name Manning, it's like it's like catnip to betters, It's.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yum, yum, yum, gim me more.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
It's like putting Coca Cola out there on a can
of soda. Say, oh, man, I want to I want
some soda pop I'm gonna have that. You buy it,
and that's it. It's brand value. I keep going back
to that brand value. That is what it's all about.
And it's like, hey, he's a Manning, you know. I
know he's not Peyton's kid or he's none of you.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Wise give me. He's a Manning. He's a Manning.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
And he go out there the first game throw three
interceptions for the Longhorns and look horrific, and people would still.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Bet on him. He's a Manning. Bet on that. It's
not rational.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It's emotion now, it's emotion. It's like betting on a
horse because the dad won the Kentucky Derby. You know,
one of my one of my buddies is I met
through the show, owns a bunch of horses, and I
know very little about horse racing other than I like
to go to the track and I blindly bet because
I like the names of the horses, or I read
I read the daily Racing report or whatever and I saw,
(15:31):
you know, this horse is won the last seven races
or whatever. But this guy who works in that industry
owns horses, and he'll tell me like yeah, that he
goes to these auctions where they auction now off horses.
And the reason that the horse, I think most of
us know this. You win the Kentucky Derby. Very rarely
these days do you run in the other legs of
(15:54):
the Triple Crown. Because there's so much money. People just
want the genetic, you know what of the horse that
wins the Kentucky Derby. So anyway, we'll move on from that.
But arch was so good, as Steve Sarkisian pointed out,
arch Manning was so good that he was a part
time bit player for the Longhorns last year. And Quinn Yours,
(16:18):
who was thought of so highly by the NFL, he
was barely drafted in the seventh round by the Miami
Dolphins played ahead of arch Manny. So but yeah, everyone's
betting on win in the Heisman. All right, final thought,
So what stands out? Let's ask you the question, what
stands out about Dion Sanders? You see this, Dion Sanders
and Bill Belichick a couple of college coaches.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
How weird is that Dion and Belichick will not.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Not appear in the EA Sports video game College Football
twenty six. They could not work out deals, we are told,
despite the game having a real Coach feature. So what
stands out about Dion and Belichick not appear in the
video game. So what stands out here is the salt
(17:04):
weir matter, the whiff. Wait, it's the whiff They whiffed, right,
So we'll start with Dion coach, prime time coach, prime
a branding genius.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Can we all agree on that? We can all you're
shaking your head.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
We can all agree he has turned himself into a
media maven, Dion Sanders. He's got the sunglasses, he's got
the look, he's got the merch.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
People have been saying you need malor merch.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well, if I only made like two percent of what
Dion makes from merch, I'm in man. I'd have a
T shirt of a month if you would buy it.
But Dion's got the merch. He's got the documentary series,
he's got the camera crews falling around, he does the
Instagram live here, he does the.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
TikTok over there in the locker room.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Uh. And he's the kind of guy. He's got the
gift for gab Dion Sanders. You know the old line
where he could go out in the middle of the
Sahara Desert, biggest desert around and sell sand and people
would buy it because it's Deon Sanders. He's got that
right and so and yet here's a layup, an obvious thing,
(18:10):
being in a video game about college football as a
college football coach that is going to be played by
just about everyone who's you know, if you're a young
football even no you know, you think about social media's
taking a lot of stuff away.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
People don't watch television much or whatever. But if you're
a young football player and you have a chance to play,
and you're gonna go to college possibly play college football,
you're telling me that they're not gonna play the video
game of possible colleges they can go to and check
out the uniforms and the stadiums and all that. Of course,
of course they will.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Anyone with a console and a dream who's a football
player as a high school kid's going to play that.
And Deon Sanders, I'm good, I'm good to miss the opportunity.
To miss the opportunity by Dion Sender, it's marketing malpractice now.
Dion one said famously, if you look good, you feel good,
and if you feel good, you play good, or if
you play good, they pay good and all that and
(19:06):
so hey, memo to Dion Sanders, you look good and
you felt good, you played good, but this time you
didn't get paid. You didn't show up. As for Belichick,
now this is rather obviously. Belichick wasn't in the NFL
the Madden Game. He never would appear in that.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And I get it.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
He's got allergies, Bill Belichick. He's allergic to fun. Video
games are fun. People like playing video games. They're fun
to play, and Belichick doesn't like fun. Apparently he likes
fun if it's a young lady that funny likes. But
video games as the words, but he probably thinks video
games are like some kind of government surveillance.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
They're monitoring you, they're monitoring you. And so, but that
was a layup. I mean, you literally don't have to
do anything.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Just let them scan your image, put you in a
hoodie and walking around there with a scowl on your face,
and you don't have to smile.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
And he wouldn't do it, said no, So he's out
yet again. And it's not even about the money.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
It's about it's an easy thing that you get another
image into the minds of possible players that you want
to get to North Kilo, because that argument is what
doesn't matter, because kid's not going to go to North
Carolina or Colorado based on a video game.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
They're going to go if we offer them enough money,
so we don't need to do it.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
It is The Ben Mahler Show will take your calls

this on the X machine at Ben Mahlor.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
The official blank of the Expo still being sold in Canada,
despite the fact the franchise left Montreal way back.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Twenty plus years ago in twenty oh four. That is
the question. What is the answer?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Bobby and Florida, says the official Expo urinal cake, very nice,
official bags of milk from ferg Dock. Now our guys
in Vancouver for dogs, say my friend Nico and what
I say. That's a great myth that I didn't go
to the grocery store and as in Vancouver they do
not have bagged milk.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
That is a lie. I want to try bagged milk.
They don't.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
They didn't have it at the store when I walked
to the grocery store in Vancouver. Donkey sausage says Expos
beer Stein.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I like the sausage. Let's see.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Manuel and Guardina says the Expos are selling officially branded
got caught groping. Sydney Sweeney signs okay. Gordon Zola signs
from alf the alien O Piner.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Who else we have buying the official TP of the
Montreal Expos. Milkman Mike in Colorado. Many batting helmets filled
with maple syrup. I forty in says the official hookers
of the Expos. Are still being sold in Canada. Who
else do you have a variety of flavors of dill
pickles from King Rory pasta salad?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Oh, that's disgusting.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
From far out Dave Keith o Cho Texo says Tim
Rain's officially Expo branded kilos of cocaine. That's funny. Expo
poutine cheese steak sandwiches, that sounds very good from JT
the Wingman, Andy and Lino Lakes going with the poutine
in a plastic baseball helmet as the answer, All right,
(24:29):
do you have an answer?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Loreni is not the official tidy whities. I guessed by
Mike the Leprechaun. I was gonna go with their own
official cheesies bend, butch ah, those are so good. God man,
are those great? I still have a bag. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
and you had a hold on those. Those are very valuable.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
The correct answer turns out, the Montreal Expos have been
gone for twenty one years, but if you go to
these stores in Montreal, the grocery stores, you can still
buy the official hot dog of the Montreal all xbos
with the Expo logo Audi. The egos are twenty one
(25:07):
year old hot dogs that have just been sitting in
the grocery store for twenty one years.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I was like, I don't know. Let's go the phones
and we'll say hello to eeny meeny, miney mall. Let's
go to boy.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Let's go to Andrea the astrology insider. She's got inside information.
I believe she'll recover the basis with Juan Sodo. Possibly
she is a Met fan. Yeah, hello Andrea, welcome, Hello Ben.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
If I was any better, I'd be a Sodo, but
no one, so actually I would be one. So he's
got seven hundred and sixty five million.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Yeah, I'll tell you. I watched the Subway series this weekend,
who is quite entertaining. I'm glad the Mets won the series.
And Soto he's interesting. I was looking at his astrology chart.
He's born October twenty fifth, nineteen ninety eight. And as
you know, with Cooper Lorena being Scorpios, they're very intense
(26:04):
and complex, and they they like never forgive a slight well,
they never forget a flight. They might forgive it, but
they won't forget it. So I think Sodo really does
feel slighted that he didn't get chosen as an All
Star this year. I mean, he's gone before to the
All Star Game, so I really think he felt kind
(26:25):
of left out. You know, other Mets made it, but
it kind of, you know, rubbed him the wrong way,
although he tried to take the high road, but I
do think it made him feel kind of left out
of the situation, and he kind of had a silence.
And it's you know, articles of saying Soto finally breaks
silence about All Star snub.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
So well, I say he spoke. I love the That's
one of my favorite tabloid headlines. Breaks silence.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Oh really, I love that.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Well yeah, well, okay, so they waited a day or
I don't know it. He's so he's got a lot
of trinkets. You know, he's been the four All Star Games.
He want to Yeah, he won a bunch of silver sluggers.
He's never won an MVP Award, he won a batting title.
So he's he's got accolades and all that. But he's
just he's I don't know, he's one of these people
(27:16):
just seems phony to me. You know, it's just like
he's not he doesn't put down roots anywhere. I guess
he's got no choice with the Mets because he's going
to be there unless he decides he wants to be traded.
But he's just baseball hob, always bouncing around, and maybe
I'm wrong, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
It just seems like he's a he's a baseball gypsy.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
Interesting. You know the rest of his chart. You know,
he's a Scorpio, which is intense, but he's got a
fair amount of Gemini, which is restless and easily bored.
And Sagittarius too, is kind of the traveler. So on
some level, you know, we're more than our sun sign.
So it is kind of revealing to see that he
(27:57):
didn't get picked, and he's trying to, you know, say hey,
I got four times before. Sometimes you make it, sometimes
you don't.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Well, it's embarrassing on every level because it's not like
the just the fans he said, Oh, there's maybe fans
in San Diego, and the Yankee fans and the Nationals
fans are like, we're not going to vote for this guy,
but his own the other players in baseball didn't put
him in there as a reserve, and the league office
didn't put him in there, So he got the middle
finger from every phase of Baseball.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
They said, we don't want you at the All Star
Now again, he will likely be added.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
I don't doubt that some guys will get hurt between
now and the All Star Game the rest of this week,
and that guys will skip on the All Star Game
and so so do will likely be added. But it
doesn't change the fact that he was not the first
choice by the fans, his fellow players, or the league office.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Right.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
And the picture that I shared, I think it's from Newsweek.
He's in the dugout looking really upset and kind of
a rose and you know, then in the article it's like, oh,
it's just part of baseball. But you can tell, you know,
pictures speak louder than words. Definitely upset and feels slighted.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
And but you're right.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
I mean, fifteen years, seven sixty five million dollar record
contract to join the Myths.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, you can slight me all you want, pay me
that kind of money. I'll tell you right now. I
will leave me there, Thank you. Andrea? All right, A right,
YouTube virgo in service. I say hello to CJ, who's

another person's time to shine. And I want to say
welcome back, Cooper, the real family is back. I just
want to say welcome. And you know, talking about the
Denver nuggets all you were talking about.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
No, no, we're not talking about the Denver nugget.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
CJ fell asleep even thinking about the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
He fell asleep.
Speaker 4 (30:41):

talk about what's on mine.
Speaker 1 (30:44):

The same thing. Spends a lot of money on horses.
