And here an hour four on the Original Recipe podcast
on this June teenth.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
June nineteenth, a federal holiday, on this.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Thursday, the Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen, essentially calling
the MVP Award worthless, says it means nothing without a ring.
Is that how this works? And Trey Hendrickson and the
Bengals remain in contract limbo despite resuming talks. Are you
(00:36):
surprised by this? And in baseball, the Atlanta Braves stepping
up and saying they have zero intention of trading pitcher
Chris Sayle.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Does this end the noise? A little over a month.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Away from Major League Baseball's trade deadline. We'll talk about
that and who knows what else. Right now here it
is have a wonderful, wonderful Thursday. It is our number
four and is yours right now? Just joshing around, that's all.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
It is.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben

Pinter and mister Nisky Tire rack dot Com the Way
Tire Buying Show. So our lead this hour is from
the mouth of the MVP of the NFL, where the
Buffalo roam about a month away from training camping. What
better way to celebrate the one month mark than to
(02:36):
parse the words of a star in the NFL as
we start looking ahead, playing peek a boo with the calendar.
Josh Allen did a deep dive interview on a number
of topics, but one of the things he discussed was
the award that he won last season in Western New York.
(02:58):
So if he didn't hear what he said, maybe not.
The Bills starred Josh Allen, not impressed with the Most
Valuable Player hardware that he picked up. Alan says, the
award quote means nothing without a super Bowl. Thus he
reignited the great debate that has gone on on sports
radio and other places. But the value of individual accolades
(03:23):
versus a super Bowl or championship, he said, quote, it
is such a great honor, and I do appreciate being
honored for my work. Alan said, but remember a butt
means everything you said before that you don't believe when
you say the word, but everything before the word. But
you are saying his bull crap. But at the same time,
(03:46):
I still didn't win a super Bowl. I didn't win
a ring, and that is the only goal. It's the
only focus and I've ever I've ever had, he said
that I've ever had going into the league, this league
quote quote from Josh Allen. So let us discuss the
question the raining Most Valuable Player Award winner Bill's quarterback
(04:08):
Josh Allen essentially calling the MVP award worthless says, it
means nothing without a ring. That's the way I interpreted it.
So is that how it works that if you didn't
win the championship, it's all a waste of time. It's
all a big waste of time. So on this one,
I've got bestseller flip phones and Rosetta Stone, and we
(04:32):
will combine all of these things together and we're gonna
make extra cheesy bread cheesy cheesy, all right. So to
kick off here, to kick off only in Buffalo. Only
in Buffalo can a guy win the MVP Award and
still feel like he lost? Right, That's the beauty of
the Buffalo Bills. Now, I know this is just what
you're supposed to say, Josh Allen. This is the right
(04:56):
out of the guidebook on how to handle this.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Here.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
You get the high is individual honor that you can
get in your profession. The highest honor for an individual
while you are still playing is the Most Valuable Player award.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And he's just.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Shrugging it off in la la la la la. It's
like some kind of participation trophy or something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And I'm all about the team. No, no, no, no, no,
I'm not worried about the MVP. I'm all about the team.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I'm Josh Allen and I'm all about the team. Is
this not the phoniest thing? It's not just Josh Allen.
I'm picking on Josh Allen because he's the one that
said it the latest, But it's the phoniest thing we
have going. It happens all the time where players win
MVP awards, but they don't happen to win a championship
(05:48):
that year. And it's just phony because obviously Josh Allen cares,
he cares.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
What is my evidence that he cares. Let me tell you.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Let's flashback in the hot top time machine to the
twenty twenty four NFL season late in the year when
it was a neck and neck race between Josh Allen
and Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
If I'm not mistaken, maybe I am mistaken. Was as
I remember my memory is.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That Josh Allen was out there and the Buffalo Bills
were out there publicly campaigning. So if it meant nothing,
if it meant nothing without the ring, why were you
out there campaigning late in the season. And there was
a full throated sweet talk message from the Bill's coaching
staff and there were massaging.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Voters and going on and on and on.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
So this response by Josh Allen by the book It's
a bestseller, a New York Times bestseller, A Complete Idiot's
Guide to sports cliches. What you are supposed to say
when you win the MVP but you don't win the championship.
It is like, I don't care about individual accolades and
the MVP.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Come on, now, is the MVP everything?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Of course? Not?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Of course, not right.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
However, the super Bowl is a team award, not an
individual award. You need the help of your teammates to
win the Super Bowl. The MVP, which you also could say,
you need your help of your teammates, but it's more
of an individual thing, obviously. And let's not pretend that
it's just nothing. That's a nonsensical illogical that's Dingleberry territory
(07:28):
is what that is there, And just don't insult our intelligence.
I just don't pretending that it means nothing when you
know you were campaigning for it and you desperately wanted
it and you got it, and congratulations for that. I said,
you should have gotten the MVP award, even though the
nerds are saying all Lamar Jackson should have been the
MVP and all that stuff. And if that's how you
(07:51):
really felt, Josh Allen's you know, I'm not going to
accept it in retrospect, now that I have time to
process everything and I look back at the season, I'm
going to decline that trophy, the MVP. I'm gonna be
like Reggie Bush and send it back. And that's it
right now. Furthermore, Cincinnati, we go. Update to the update Now.
(08:13):
The previous episode of this radio show, we mentioned that
Trey Hendrickson and the Bengals had resumed they'd resumed contract
negotiations on a new deal, which gave many people optimism
of a quick resolution about the time a month ago
before training camp. Well, now, unfortunately they're not close. Now
(08:37):
we're hearing the compensation is not right and the duration
of the contract is not right.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Boo hoo hoo.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So Trey Hendrickson, defensive stalwart, NFL sack leader Trey Hendrickson
and the Bengals remain in contract. Limbo, are you surprised
by this? So we are not. I'll go first, we
are not. Here's why Cincinnati, in their mind, is tapped out.
(09:07):
They are tapped out financially.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
She wrote, that's it. Now they have the money, they
don't want to spend the money. They're saving it for
a rainy day. It's a good time for rain, too,
good time for rain. Getting back to the roots, the
DNA of the franchise, it's classic Cincinnati. This is what
they do. They don't like football. They like hardball, that's
(09:35):
what they like. And they're like, you know, we paid
our money, We gave the receivers the money. We don't
need to pay this guy. And you know, it's like
you go down to the Dollar General buy some paper towels.
And they have more flexibility than the Bengals when it
comes to this kind of negotiation. And if they had
to choose the Bengals, forget the iPhone, they'd go with
(09:57):
the flip phone. Not even an Android flip phone, not
even a BlackBerry, They'd go flip phone. And the Bengals
have now boxed themselves into a corner. The way I
look at this from the outside looking in, because the
strategy is like, if we ignore this long enough, then
maybe Hendrickson O'll cave in and he'll take less than
(10:19):
what he wants. Since the negotiation and even though he
led the league in Sacks. He is at thirty years old,
and so he's at that age where you don't get
the big contract. Maybe one more contract than that's it,
but good luck, good luck. Joe Burrow can't expect another impotent,
incompetent and that best inconsistent defense in Cincinnati upcoming in
(10:47):
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Now, last thing, we pivot over to baseball.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Talking bass ball, the Atlanta Braves, who victorious in their
game on Wednesday night.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
The Braves have been chronic underachievers.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
They started out by having a horrible West Coast road
trip to begin the season, and the Atlanta Braves have
not been very competitive this year, and there is chatter
of a mid season bonfire in the atl dumping veteran players.
If you want somebody on the Atlanta Braves other than
(11:23):
the obvious two or three top players, that's it. Call
the Braves up. Not so fast, my friend, because when
specifically asked on Atlanta's sports talk radio about a Chris
Sale trade and his value, the Chris Sale, the starting pitcher,
former Sak White Sock and red Sock, the Atlanta Braves
(11:46):
executive in charge, like the GM, the Facto GM alex Anthopolis,
was very clear. When asked whether or not the Braves
are gonna unload, Chris Sale said three words, will not happen.
Will not happen? The Braves stepping up and saying they
have zero intention of trading the aforementioned Chris Sale. Does
(12:10):
that end the noise? Does that turn the volume down?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Down? Down, down down?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So I'll go first here and that would be a
hell to the know, a hell to the no unless
you are a country bumpkin, unless you're a rube. And
if that's the case, Yeah, we know that teams lie.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
They lie all the time. It is part of the job.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
General managers, executives of sports teams are indoctrinated. They go
to the same clown college and they're indoctrinated in when
we have no plans to trade this player, we love
this player, blah blah blah blah blah. Two days later,
they're shipped out of town and no looking back, no
looking back. That's it happens all the time. And yet
(13:01):
there are people that still to this day believe what
they are told. They're called suckers is what they are.
They're called suckers. You should never believe politicians, and you
should never believe people that run sports teams, you should not.
But looking at the MLB malor Rosetta Stone, when you
say we have no plans to trade a player, that
(13:25):
means in this case, Chris Sale has already likely packed
up his bags. He's looking at Zillow. He's said, well,
I be traded to Los Angeles? Am I going to
the Yankees? Where am I going? He's looking at real estate. Now,
the Bravos last I checked, are under five hundred. When
(13:46):
you're under five hundred, you're not really a contender, you're
a fraud. You're a faux contender at best.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I know they added the Fugese wild card to give
the illusion of contention. So there's a lot of teams
that mathematically are contenders that realistically are not because they're
under five hundred.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
The math works out where you.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Still have a chance, you still have a chance, and
you are what your record says you are. And Atlanta's
record says garbage. That's what it says. Even if you
discount the opening road trip, which I think they started
zero to six or oh and seven, they're a five
hundred team right around five hundred since then, So that's
(14:28):
what you are. And that's it, and that's all you are.
And Chris Sale, oh, by the way, is a ticking
time bomb. Tick tick tick tick tick tick based on
what he did in Boston with all the injuries. He's
been able to dodge most of that in Georgia. But
he has an eighteen million dollar club option. And if
somebody's going to give you something halfway decent and you're
(14:50):
not going to make the playoffs this year, why would
you not consider it. You'd be a foolhardy individual not
to consider making that deal. And so this is one
of those things. You take out the yellow post it note,
and you take out the black sharp beeat and you
write a little note clip and save a couple weeks
from now when Chris Sale is introduced as the newest
(15:12):
Dodger starting pitcher, or the newest pitcher for the Yankees,
or the usual suspects here that are in contention, and
you say, okay, well check back, and everyone will pretend
that that quote from Alexanthopolis did not happen.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
It's all made up. It's all just made up gibberish.
What is the Bean Mahlor show, which is not made up?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
But we are hanging out with you all night, every
night podcast every day, even on the weekends, and if
you'd like to be part.

(16:09):

twenty twenty five edition of Where's Waldo? We'll get to

I don't know if we're gonna be able to do
factor fiction. We normally have judges, so it might not
be able to do that.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
At all at all.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Supermarket Steve Road in earlier says thank you for not
having the Yankee nonsense in the monologue. Did not, but
I did mention Anthony Volpi. I guess you were not
listening his tremendous defensive plays. He butchered the ball at
shortstop which help cost the Yankees of the game. But
things are going very well. Things are going very well.
It's the June Gloom for the New York Yankees. Mike
(17:56):
the Leprechaun from Boston right since says I hope I'm
not Lorena's nemesis. Happy June teenth, I have a conspiracy
theory to float. Why was Ben Maler and Bill Miller
both out the.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Same two days. Brry suss He said, well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
You'd have to check with HR, which I think is
also run by a bot, like the Red Sox when
they and they hire people.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
That makes sense. Mister Irrigation writes in.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
And says the Astros are now up by five and
a half games in the AO West. The next closest
team are the Mariners, who are only two games over
five hundred. Will the Stros have a double digit lead
in the West by the All Star break. I'm gonna
go no, you Astro apologist, mister Irrigation, unless they get
(18:44):
those supersonic trash cans working. Let's go to the phones.
Coach Russell is in the Orlando area.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
He's been on a great tour of the Southeast. Hello
Coach Russell, Hey, good morning man.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
How you doing.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
If I was any better, I would be sleeping, but
I'm not. But what's going on? You've been traveling around?
I know you send me some emails you were Yeah,
I'm going ahead.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
I'm head into South Florida for seven on seven this morning.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Oh but I was calling in.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
I wanted to ask your opinion on the possible expansion
of the college Football playoffs to sixteen.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I know it's has some traction with.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
The five top of conference winners and eleven at large.
I know they that's for twenty twenty six. I just
want to know what your thoughts were.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Yeah, so it's just going to be more teams from
the Power conferences. Are just going to add more teams
from the Big Ten in the Southeast Conference and that's
they'll have more teams. But realistically there's probably any given year,
I'd say there's like four to six teams that are
legit going to be able to win a championship.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Outside of injury. Outside But I'm fine with it. More
big games to talk about. I'm okay with it. We
you know, I got a show to do, and you're
you know, that's That's what I'm worried about.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
So they're gonna keep adding teams because they can make
more money from television and all that, But in terms
of who can actually win, say any given year, four
to six teams.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
That's about it.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
What do you? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:19):
I agree?
Speaker 8 (20:20):
You know, they they fought it for years with the
Bowl systems and uh, you know, they they integrated it
with the Bowl systems, which is what they should have
done all along. And you know I I I think
sixteen does eliminate some of the some of the chatter.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
Unlike basketball, Well, there'll still be somebody that's not allowed though,
because they're gonna they're gonna lean towards the teams that
have big followings, and so you're gonna see some team
that's at a smaller conference that has a great record
that still doesn't.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Get in even with sixteen. But you know that's it's good.
Why not? What deck are?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Well? Enjoy the seven on seven Coach Russell, may may
you have a success. Enjoy South Florida. All right, there
is a great Coach Russell game show savant checking in
speaking of South Florida where he is right now? Knock knock,
who's there? That would be the Stanley Cup, Lord Stanley's Cup. Now,
(21:23):
I always thought that guy, Lord Stanley, that cup was
like the coolest thing. But then I went to Vancouver
and saw that Stanley Park and I was like, wow,
that's better than the Stanley Cup. Anyway, the Florida Panthers
won the Stanley Cup. For the seven people that were
watching and knock knock, who's there? Five in the morning.
(21:44):
That would be the Stanley Cup. Yes, just why not?
So it turns out that Alexander Barkoff was walking around
his neighborhood at five in the morning with the Stanley
Cup and he just wanted all his neighbors, all of
his neighbors to see the cup and to hold the cup. Now,
(22:06):
I I've been lucky enough years ago when the Kings
won the Stanley Cup. I was able to grab on
to the cup and take some photos with the Stanley
Cup and all that which many people have photos with
and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
But it was very cool.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And I also saw that they damaged Lord Stanley's Cup
already within the first twenty four hours. The cup has
been damaged. But there's some funny video you might have
seen it. Even our blind listeners have seen it of
Alexander Barkoff who went walking around the neighborhood. It's on
the ring camera footage of him wandering around. Hey, would
(22:40):
you like to see the Stanley Cup?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Now?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
If somebody knocks on your door at five not We
work overnight, so it's a little different for us. But
for us it would be like if somebody knocks on
your door at noon, like, dude, we're trying to sleep
but if somebody knocks on your door, if you're a
normal person and you're not like us working overnight, He's like, hey,
it's five in the morning.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
It's five thirty in the morning. You know, knock, knock.
What kind of loser is better? Be important? What are
you doing? You do that whole thing? So anyways, it
was amusing.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Why not how many more times the thing can be
damaged and destroyed and we'll use it for like salsa,
Put some salcea in there, some nacho cheese and have
a big old partay introvert Zach is up next ill
the noois I have determined now for my guy, Zach,
he loves the fact that the phones are left up
because somehow he's able to use his ninja like skills
(23:29):
to get in.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Is that correct, Zach.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Am?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I correct, Zach.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
It sort of feels that way, honestly.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yeah, Like, if the phones were working properly, you would
never get in. But since the phones are all left
up and the thing Jay isn't working to watch you
might call it can't be fixed. You're able to somehow
get pro because you have a superpower, even though you
don't really want to be on there. Because you're an
introvert like me.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Correct, correct, honestly that if the phones were working properly,
I wouldn't even try to call.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah, all right, So once the owns or fixed, which
might be sometime at twenty twenty seven, you will not
be part of the show ever again.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
This is it. It's all over. Possibly, thank gotch.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
You guys are convincing me to be part of the public.
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Well, the great thing about radio is you can still
hide even though you're out in the public because we
can't see what you look like. So you can really
go behind the scenes and you're kind of known, but
you're not really known like that.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Old is perfect.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
It is a little bit of a beauty, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, that's why I'm in radio.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
See television, you have to be an extrovert, but you
can be an introvert in radio and have much more success.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Right on, I got you? All right, Well, how can
I help you?
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Well, I mean you did say the next time I
called in.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I could do the uh oh, that's right, the mal
or militia.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Oh all, this is always a memorable day. You always
remember the time you took.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
The oath very important. Okay, are you?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Are you prepared mentally and physically for the powers that
are about to be bestowed on you? Introvert zach as
taking the oath on the air officially.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Now you live in Illinois.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
You're in a small town, right, which is like kind
of halfway between Saint Louis and Illinois, I remember, correctly.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
And it's like a train town. Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
That is correct?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
All right?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
And what's the name of the town again, Gilsburg? Gilsburg?
All right, very good, all right, Well let's let's.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Rhymes with like Rayalsburg as a train.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Town, so you know, there you go, it's perfect, perfect,
all right. And the most famous person from your town.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Is Carl Sandberg.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Does you think the rainer knows who that is?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
He's a poet, that's well. Ronald Reagan went here as
one spond tart for school. Yeah, we got we got
that going for us too.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
There you go, former president. That was, by the way,
you know, Ronald Reagan, not not Ronald Dragon, the guy
before that.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Okay, Carl same, the poet guy. Yeah, not a lot
of people know about him. It's okay.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Interesting, Well, I'm according to the internet. Introvertzak. It says
the four Marx brothers, who also are long gone. They
receive their nicknames at the Gailsburg Theater, the Gaety Theater
in nineteen fourteen.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
So please do not take these this oath lightly, Zach.
This is a very important oath. Okay, now, all right,
Well I'll talk to you again unless they fix the
phones and then we'll never talk again.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Well possibly, you guys are you're kind of warming.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Up to me a little bit.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
All right, Listen the introverts leaving his shell. All of
a sudden, you're the big You're gonna be a star.
They're gonna put your name on that Wikipedia page. Is
like the big star in Gaylsburg, Illinois, right there, big star,
right right next to the March Brothers and Ronald Reagan
and the Ferris wheel, the.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Ferris wheel guy.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Yeah, can't forget the Ferris wheel guy.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
That's right, Gailsburg, the birthplace of George Washington, Gail Ferris,
inventor of the ferris wheel.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
You didn't make that up. That's awesome, all right, Vega, Zach,
All right, there you go. It is just in Vegas,
not that long ago. They have a giant ferris wheel
in Vegas right there. Oh my gosh, I'm going to
be staying right next to it. Yeah, really, were you
staying in Vegas? Where are you? I don't want to
give out the locat so that people don't stalk me. Okay,
that's a good decision. But let's say I can see
(30:13):
the sphere. Be careful though, because I told her so,
I was in Vegas? Was it last weekend or two weeks?
A couple weeks ago?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I was in Vegas and there's this ice cream shop
that I like to go to, So it's I was
going to go there, but it's you got to pay
for parking, and they were going to charge me thirty
six dollars to park. But I was going to be
there for like an hour to buy ice cream size
and screw that, I'm not going.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
I didn't go, and they won't even validate either. Huh No,
they don't validate because it's not it's like you park
at one of the hotels. Woweah, the link hotel.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I'll name the hotel. I don't care the link hotel.
I went to park there and I spent my money,
you know, spent my money, thirty six bucks they were
charging for parking.
Speaker 10 (30:51):
I debated on driving and then I was like, but
then I got to park my car every day and
that can be upwards of fifty dollars a day.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Yeah, it's embarrassing. It's in Vegas, you know. I like it,
but not as much as they used to. They nickel
and dimion everything.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
That's what happens. The corporations took over Vegas. Everyone one, Well, no,
there's two. There's MGM and Caesars. Right, they own all
the properties on the strip prettymuch. I think there's three, yeah,
they So then there's then there's Win and they have
like maybe like three Yeah, I know. It's it's uh,
it's crazy, and so Ben you say, off the strip
(31:27):
and then you take an uber or whatever and save
some money because the ones off the strip in Vegas
have free, free parking generally speaking. So where's Waldo? The
twenty twenty five version more like Where's Antonio Brown? Antonio Brown,
who is a wanted man by the police in Miami
for attempted murder a former Steeler on video.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
By the way, it's on vidego.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Everything's documented on video, so it'll be bringing experts to
determine what's real and what's not.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
What happened.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Let's go to the replay, the expedited replay. So Brown
is not in Miami and at last report he is
in the Middle East. Now, if you've watched the news,
this is likely not a place you want to be
right now. Is in the Middle East. There's a lot
going on there and not a lot of good stuff
(32:17):
in most of the movies. Anyway, the police in Miami said, well,
they believe that Antonio Brown is in Dubai and that
he was in Dubai before the arrest warrant was issued.
Now the question is will he come back from Dubaiack? No,
Is he just gonna stay? Is there a statute of limitations?
(32:37):
I don't know how this works. If you're charged, I know, murder,
there's no statute of limitations, right you murder?
Speaker 1 (32:44):
That's it. It doesn't matter how old you are. Would
you run if they catch you? You're but attempted murder.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
If Antonio Brown were to stay in Dubai for ten years,
does the charge go away? Because the statute he hasn't
gone to trial and it's been ten years, and then
he can just kind of hide out and Dubai and
then come back.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
And he's fine. Where did the crime take place? Was
it in Florida or in Florida? It was in Miami?
Actually was part of Miami. What was the town? I
forget the name.
Speaker 10 (33:14):
There's no statute of limitations for attempted murder in Florida.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
So there's no So he's stuck. But he's so attempted
murder doesn't matter, Okay, all right, so he's going to
have to come back.
Speaker 10 (33:25):
Prosecutors can file charges for attempted murder at any time,
regardless of how long ago the crime occurred.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
So you just got to stay in Dubai. Will they
allow him to stand? Goodbye?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Bye?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
That's there? You go, all right, Antonio brown boy?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
You you if you could afford it, Dubai is kind
of pricey, right, That's from what I've seen.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
It's like I would think, so, yeah, I wonder if
you'd be embraced there. I don't know.
Speaker 10 (33:51):
He's a little little he's a whackerdoodle on the on
the X machine. So wasn't that where he was when
he was in the hotel? Pooled and decided to take
out his stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Oh yeah, I think you're right on that. I remember
that story. That was one of the famous Antonio Brown stories.
See he wanted everyone to see his twigging berries and
gave everyone a little show there, very proud of himself. Anyway,
all right, so we're not I don't think we'll be
able to do the game because the phones are all
messed up. So I feel bad for Jack and Leslie,
the power couple. I know they're standing by, they're trying
(34:24):
to get through. The phones are all left up and
all that, and I apologize, and we're really at the
mercy of whoever's involved in fixing it, which I guess
is the phone company, And so we can't play Factor
fiction until they fix it.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
So we'll press on here. And we do have one
of the one of the lines.
Speaker 10 (34:46):
We've gotten an update email every single day, and what
they said, it was supposed to be fixing Monday, and
then that didn't happen. They said, okay, Tuesday, Yeah, and
then that didn't happen, and they said okay Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Okay, and here we are.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, that's great, all right, anyway, straight out, I do
have a great story. I was supposed to mention this earlier,
and I don't know we can play this on the
air or not, but a Major League Baseball broadcasting blooper.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
We'll give you the play by play on that. We'll
get to it, and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
The thing of a jig is not working. So we
have a bunch of judges. We love the game. It's
a lot of fun. We've been doing it for years.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
It's not possible to do it without the actual judges,
so we're going to abstain from that and we'll get.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Back to it now. We did have, though, a great
blooper from Major League Baseball, and I don't know we
do we have this? Is this ready to go? I'm
not sure we have this or not.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
So the Oakland Athletics became the Sacramento Athletics, but they
don't want to call themselves that, so they just call
themselves the Athletics. I know our friends stuck in Sacramento
knows all about that, so the A's were playing the
Astros in their game last night. The play by play
announcer a woman named Jenny Kavner I believes her name.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
She's universally voted the worst announcer in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
And she made an on air bet with whoever else
is doing the A's game. So we have to watch
that to find out. Anyway, she made a bet Brent Rooker,
I believe was up and the.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Old slip of the tongue, the old slip of the
to do we have this?
Speaker 3 (37:48):
All right?
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
This is what it sounded like. Listen close to me
a little on air bet and listen to the verbiage.
Listen from Mick's friendly wager that Brent Rooker reaches base
here into that. Do you want you want to dippin' dots?
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Okay, all right, I'll take some dippin' dots on that.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Wait a minute, Oh whoa wait a minute there, No,
that's a tribute to Dick and Dayton. I believe she said,
now the play that again. Cool, this is a I
think she was trying to say dippin' dots. I don't
think that quite came out though.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Let's make a friendly wager that Brent Rooker reaches base here.
I'm into that. Do you want you want to dippin' dots?
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Okay, all right, I take some dots on it. Okay,
all right, there it is. There you go.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
People had a field day the old slip of the tongue,
which is what's the one the newscasters when they say it,
everyone's like they screwed up a bulging disc.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Right, that's the One's a tricky one.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
There are on on YouTube there's blooper reels of people
trying to say bulging disc. I gotta make sure I
say it slowly and give me a little taste of
that day. It does not come out probably real quick.
