Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, our four knocking
on the door of the original recipe podcast. Happy Tuesday
too you the ninth day of July, we go to
the NFL where Tua tongue of I Looa and the
Dolphins are having said to be active active contract talks.
Where does this thing go? Also, Jerry Jones is headed

(00:22):
back to federal court, this time as a plaintiff in
a case that he filed over fathering a daughter in
a hush hush agreement. How significant is that case? And
Joe Burrow predicting the Bengals will reclaim the AFC North
in twenty twenty four. Do you agree or disagree with

(00:43):
the Bengals Fashionista quarterback will go there as well. All
of it's coming your way right now here. It is
our number four. Have a wonderful Tuesday, doing the old
mating dance. Welcome. In the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malors Show, we are in the air everywhere

(01:07):
we know, we know that we're just friends and trouble
is a bruin coast to coast, border the water and beyond.
On the vast and fashionably powerful microphones of fs are

the Way tire buying, shure b and our headline. This

(01:55):
hour from the Pod now not a podcast. We're not
gonna do a rant about JJ podcast Reddick, the great
podcaster who's now gonna pretend to be a coach. We're
not gonna do that. We're not gonna talk about podcast
p This is about the pod, as in a pod
of dolphins. That's right, those wonderful dolphins. So weeks we're

(02:17):
just weeks now away from the start of training camp
and about three weeks and a couple of days away
from the Hall of Fame game, and with all of
that as the lead up to the main event. Contract negotiations.
There are two things that happen in training camp. Players
get hurt and players complain about their contracts. Some of

(02:39):
them end up getting paid. So if you ever't been
following the story, out of Miami. These streets are a talking.
That's not flashlens from our friend weed Man Hippy in Miami.
The streets are talking. They tell us that the Dolphins
and quarterback Tua tongue of I Looa are getting hot
and heavy, that they are having productive conversations. You know

(03:02):
where this is leading big money, big money, No wommy
stop on a mega extension. Now, Miami hasn't agreed to
a contract yet, neither has to a Tongue of Bloa.
They have not come to terms on a new agreement,
but they remain in constant contact. That's nice. They've been

(03:23):
doing this going back to sometime early in June. It
has been described as active negotiations, amicable on both sides.
So let us discuss the question to a tongue of
by Loa and the Dolphins having active contract talks, where
does this go?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
All?

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Right? So I've got Howie Mandel, Tabloid TV, and Leapfrog,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a cupcake, which in many
respects is better than cake because because a cupcake you
have the frosting on top. You got a little bit
of cake, but not too much cake and mostly frosting.

(04:05):
I'm all about that action, boss. Now to kick off here,
Here's what happens. Right, Where does this go? Where does
this to a tongue of my Lowa dolphin conversation go?
It continues to tread water. You're supposed to know how
to tread You don't necessarily know how to have to
know how to swim, but you have to know how
to tread water. That's the most important thing. Anyway, the
way I read the room reading the room, here, the

(04:26):
dolphins have decided that, hey, listen, we want this guy
at our price point. We have a price. It's like
an auction. Now, if I was the dolphins, I wouldn't
even bother. I would not even bother but the dolphins,
assuming they're not disingenuous. Here the dolphins are attempting to

(04:47):
thread a needle. They're like, well, we can get to it,
but at our price point, the tax bracket we want
him in that we're comfortable with. And it's okay. I
wouldn't do it. But the reason I would do it
is because two is not a difference maker. He's not
you can win with guys like to a tongue of illa,
but you will not. He will not be the reason

(05:08):
that you win. Do you understand that he's not gonna
be the reason you taste a victory. He's just not.
He's a supporting actor. He's he's in the background. He's
not the leading actor. He's not the leading man. And
at this moment, the Dolphins, here's how I see this
in my warped mind. The Dolphins are like Howie Mandel

(05:29):
on that old Deal or No Deal show. And Tua's
picked the suitcase. He knows how much he wants. He
wants the big money, big money, no amy, no Amy,
know whim stop. So he's got the suitcase. He thinks
it's for the proper amount of money. He's picked his case.
And now the banker is calling, and the banker is

(05:49):
offering to a X amount of dollars mid level quarterback money.
It's a one time offer. How that works? And to
a is he gonna say no deal? If he says
no deal, it goes away. The offer goes away. That's it.
He'll have to play out the upcoming NFL season, bet
on himself and see what happens. But if he says yes,

(06:12):
if Toua agrees to the offer, from the banker, he
hits the button, he walks away, and he goes home
with the cash, and that's it. And you figure out
later on if he made a good deal or a
bad deal. The plot thickens. Stay tuned, developing hot dot
dot dot All right, furthermore, Jerry Jones, good old Jerry Jokes.

(06:33):
Now Jerry Jones is heading back the federal court as
a plaintiff as a lawsuit he brought on. It is
the case involving the fathering of a out of wedlock daughter.
So if I remember correctly, a woman that worked at
the airlines. So how significant is it that in the
coming days Jerry Jones will pop up as a plaintiff

(06:57):
in a federal court case the future? What if I
told you the future of the Cowboys ownership is on
the line? Is that too dramatic? Probably is too dramatic.
But on the surface it sounds like, hey, this is
just some kind of tabloid TV show. You see the headline,
You're like, whoa, this is like out the nineties. Whereas
Maury Povich, he's retired in Montana somewhere. But Maury Povich

(07:20):
is gonna come out and say you are the father
or you are not the father. Never regardless, you got
to dig a little deeper. And when you dig a
little deeper, it turns out, if I understand the story properly,
this is not about a paternity test. That's rather simple.
It's cut and dry. You take a paternity test and
the DNA comes back, you are the father, You're not
the father. But instead, what's going on here, as I

(07:45):
understand it is Jerry Jones is countersuing and that case
is very much alive. His argument is.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
That the mother of the child and the daughter agreed
to a legal contract, a legally binding contract in nineteen
ninety eight, late nineties, right when Mary Povich was in
the prime of his talk show career.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
So Jerry Jones and the mother and the daughter all
agreed in the late nineties, or it's just the mother
in nineteen ninety eight that they would never sue Jerry
Jones for parental rights, inheritance, etc. Etc. In exchange for that,
Jerry Jones cut them a couple of giant cartoon checks
and said here you go. So Jerry Jones claims that

(08:32):
he has upheld his end of the bargain, that he
agreed to a deal and he has followed through the
money that he was supposed to pay. He paid and
so as far as he's concerned, this is breach of contract.
Therefore you've got to pay money back. Therefore, you took
the deal. Now you don't like the deal, so now

(08:52):
you have to give money back. Now where it gets
really interesting. The big issue is is it even allowed legally?
Is that kind of agreement allowed legally? Meaning the daughter
is the one that's complaining, and if I did the
math properly, this happened in nineteen ninety eight. The woman

(09:13):
she's grown up. Now, she's in her mid to late twenties,
so that would mean she was a toddler. Or how
do you agree to a contract like that when you're
at that particular age. The answers you can right now.
The other issue, the Komodo dragon in the room is
if this does go down, if Jerry somehow loses this,

(09:38):
and then the woman will She's already appealing her loss.
She's gonna file the appeal and she lost in court,
so that will come back from the dead like the
phoenix rising from the ashes. So that lawsuit will come
back and will trigger a paternity test, and then that
could snowball into when Jerry meets his maker and he

(10:02):
crosses over the pearly gates, then you're gonna like, all right,
well wait a minute here, and there's gonna be fighting
over rights. And is this woman entitled to some percentage
of the Dallas Cowboys and all of that? All right?
Last thing here we go quickly to Cincinnati, where the
skyline Chile is fresh and justin in Cincinnati's commentary is

(10:24):
not so. Joe Burrow predicting that his Ben Gals will
reclaim the top spot the penthouse of the AFC North
in twenty twenty four. Do you agree or disagree with
Joe Burrow?

Speaker 4 (10:40):
So?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
I actually agree with him on this, And this is
one of those Captain obvious. What did you expect Joe
Burrow to say? I think we'll finish in third place
this year?

Speaker 2 (10:47):
No?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Come on, So in many respects, this is standard Chow.
This is what you're supposed to say. Despite that, Cincinnati
with a healthy Joe Burrow, is the team to be.
That is the quarterback I would rather have in a
big spot than any other quarterback in that division. And
they should, they should. The Bengals be leaping playing leap

(11:12):
prog up the standings. And if you just merely look
at the quarterback, we're always told they're better people, they're
more important people than us quarterbacks. So if you look
at the quarterbacks in the division, the Browns have the
creepy quarterback DeShawn Watson, who's really only effective when he's
in the happy baby yoga pos, which I don't think
is allowed in the NFL during the regular season. So
you've got Deshaun Watson, you have the Steelers who are

(11:32):
rolling out a broken down, rusted out jelapi in Russell Wilson.
And then you have the Ravens with Lamar Jackson, who's
a fine regular season player. However, right he's got that
fatal flaw, that soft underbelly, which is exposed when the
playoffs come around. Of course, that wouldn't affect the Ravens
during the regular season, so we'll see. But I would

(11:55):
take Cincinnati. You gave me some funny money, I would
bet on the ben Gals to take the Afs. No,

to the folklore, and the NFL has yet again produced
there's one player in the NFL that continues to produce
viral videos, even though it does not appear he's trying

(12:37):

(13:56):
Ben Maller.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Big pandit rights. It says good, not great. Model. I
didn't ask you your opinion, you schmuck says two is overrated.
Jerry Jones and Joe Burrow they fell flatter than Black
Steve the second a mause amount of money. Well, yeah,
he didn't know who Willy Mays was. How do you,
I mean, even if you don't know anything about baseball,

(14:17):
you know Willy Mazes. Don't you just like being around
being into sports at all. Wouldn't you know that? Come on, JD,
and Casey says Benjamin, it doesn't matter what the bung
gals do. It's the chiefs in the AFC. Aren't you
supposed to say till the casket drops? Isn't that normally
your catchphrase? I think it is. I believe so. Raging

(14:40):
romanticist says Jerry got himself some and then he used
the oil term, which is it is an Oklahoma oil termer,
Arkansas oil term, A gloryhole.

Speaker 6 (14:53):
That's all.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
That's an oil term. Who else do you have, Page Dan, No,
I don't know what you're talking about it family show.
I don't know what you're talking about at all there.
Bernard Account says, no complaints here, Benjamin, Well, thank you,
Berner Account. I appreciate that, very kind of you. J
D in Boston was trying to figure out the guy
from Alaska. He says, what did Washington State say to Oregon?

(15:17):
And the answer is Idaho? Hey go, I don't know,
so Alaska, I'll ask, I'll Aska. Well, my favorite Alaska
story is when the Seahawks, before the Legion of Boom,
they got to the Super Bowl. They played Eddie Steelers,
and they were robbed of a Super Bowl win because
the officials were corrupt in that Super Bowl. Very embarrassing.

(15:42):
But the Fox crew had to go to Seattle. Do
you remember what Jimmy Johnson called Seattle Eddie when he
was there?

Speaker 6 (15:49):
When you say it, I'll remember it, But I don't
know of him. Jimmy didn't know Canada.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
He did not endear himself to the locals. He said,
Seattle is southern Alaska called it. Of course, when you're
Jimmy and you live in Key West, which is the
most southern point in the US. Anything north of that
is far up there as Alaska or southern.

Speaker 6 (16:12):
You could argue he lives in Cuba or something.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Right now, Well you could, yes, you could make that.

Speaker 6 (16:16):
Make it that.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Kelly Donut Kelly a fan favorite. She is in Nashville. Hello,
Donut Kelly.

Speaker 7 (16:23):
What's that?

Speaker 8 (16:23):
Then?

Speaker 9 (16:24):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (16:24):
If I was any better, I'd be a Mariner, but
not a Seattle Mariner because there's panic about the Mariners
that they're not going to be able to hold off
the division. I meaning like.

Speaker 9 (16:34):
I'm shocked we even this good at the All Star break,
like I was not expecting this. I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Well, were you expecting them to stink?

Speaker 9 (16:41):
I don't know, Like, I mean, I'm a san but
I never expect greatness. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Well, I wouldn't call it greatness what the Mariners have done.

Speaker 9 (16:49):
But I mean we're we're in the lead, Ben, so
I mean.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Like, yes, you're six games over five hundred. But the
good news is the Ables have lost too in a row,
so that's good. So they're starting to fall apart.

Speaker 9 (16:59):
Always great. Yes, you are correct there.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, exactly, spot on, spot on.

Speaker 9 (17:05):
And I would like to say thank you for bringing
up the most corrupt Super Bowl of all time when
the Steelers beat the Seahawks.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's right, Kelly, take that, Eddie. Take that Eddie.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
No, it is Eddie.

Speaker 9 (17:17):
I love you. You know you're my favorite game show partner.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
But don't say that I'm upset with you. Kelly.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
And she knows knows that cinnamon rolls are donuts.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
She knows that she shows up if you show up
to Kelly, if you show up to the Valley of
Meat Greek, Kelly, you're gonna bring cinnamon rolls because we
every would love cinnamon rolls.

Speaker 9 (17:39):
Okay, Well, if I do bring cinnamon rolls. I'll have
to make them myself, which, by the way, I can, Okay,
but we don't sell them, so well that's a flaw.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
You should go to corporate at Duncan and say, listen,
you said that kind of poll then like you're you're
a made woman. What are you talking about? But I
think they now is it dunkin in Boston? They call
it like a coffee roll or something. Don't they call
it coffee rolls like a cinnamon roll? Ben, it's the
same thing. Oh it's not. It's the same, damn Ben.

(18:11):
To take it anyhow, you take the outd L.

Speaker 8 (18:13):
Ben.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
You're wrong any about the super Bowl? Okay, admit it
right now, you're wrong about the super Bowl.

Speaker 9 (18:18):
I mean, here's the thing. All the officials from that
Super Bowl admitted they were wrong too.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
They did not yes around massive admission. At massive admission,
I don't know where you're sitting, said great take as
a wonderful take. What year was it? That's a long
time ago? Now when was Oh man, that's a lot,
that's almost twenty years.

Speaker 9 (18:36):
Yes, I know, trust me. I threw pillows at the TV.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
How did that happen? That doesn't seem like it was.

Speaker 9 (18:42):
It was a really huge story for Jerome Bettis to
win a super Bowl in Detroit.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, almost like it was written somewhere.

Speaker 10 (18:49):
That's exactly what happened, because.

Speaker 9 (18:51):
No national cachet.

Speaker 11 (18:53):
So you know, Jake Plumber should have been winning a
super Bowl, but you know it was written in the
script that Jerome bets Really Yeah, yeah, it's just.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
A he's a trouble maker, Kelly, that's all up said.

Speaker 6 (19:06):
Because Antoine Randall l was a better quarterback than Matt
Housel Black, I'm come on, yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Okay, Ben Roethlisberger look at his numbers and then were.

Speaker 7 (19:13):
At that game?

Speaker 6 (19:15):
Was That's not the game I was at? I was
at the game Cardinal.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Well.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Ben Roethlisberger in that Super Bowl had uh two interceptions,
no touchdowns, a passer rating of twenty two point six.

Speaker 6 (19:25):
How about Antoine Randall? What was his passerating?

Speaker 1 (19:27):
I'm not talking about him. That's another you're doing what
you're doing. Run. There was a penalty on that seventy
five yard run, Eddy there was that was and the
other nine carries he had eighteen yards? So how impressive
was it matter? It was still enough to beat the
eighteen yards and nine other carries had a seventy yard
touchdown run.

Speaker 9 (19:48):
Served that Super Bowl. Our offensive line deserved that Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well he should have won then, now, Kelly, remember Kelly.

Speaker 9 (19:54):
The officials decided we didn't.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
That sound like a five year old boy, Mama the Kelly,
you're on the right side of history. Eddie's wrong about everything,
as he usually is. Okay, you should just worry about
that Russell Wilson interception in the end. Zoe, come on,
that's that's the real heartbreaker. Focus on that one.

Speaker 9 (20:12):
ESPN shows me that one enough.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
It's fine, Okay, I don't know. There's other channels out
there they can show it to.

Speaker 9 (20:19):
Yeah, I know, I know, but that one will live
an infamy.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah. In for me, there's no stuffing. All right, Well,
very good, Kelly, thank you very much. All right, all right, yes,
all the niceties. You know, I love the niceties. I'm
all about the niceties. Is that the worst performance in
the modern era by a quarterback that won the Super
Bowl Roethlisberger that year. I mean, there've been bad quarterbacks,

(20:47):
but they usually don't win in the modern era. In
the Internet era, actually that was before Twitter, that was
before Facebook. Wasn't a thing time. Wow, that was so
long ago. That's crazy. We were on we were on MySpace.

(21:08):
What else were we on? That's on the five. Yeah.
Twitter didn't come around. YouTube wasn't even really a thing,
right five.

Speaker 10 (21:16):
I can't remember that far, but I think it. I
think it had just started, but.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
No one was really using it. Man, that's wild. I
blame you, Addy. We're getting old. This is your fault.
It's your your fault. We're getting old. Shame on you.
It's a bad job by you.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
All right, now, Ben, here we go the rare and
appropriate tennis sound bite. Somebody moaning, uh no, we have
four quarterfinal matches at Wimbledon coming up this morning, but
the quarterfinal uh no. Vak Djokovic advanced to the quarterfinals yesterday.
He cruised to a straight sets win over someone named

(21:57):
Holder Rune of Denmark, Holder Run, Holder Run, and during
the match, a apparently a significant number of fans were saying.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Rune, Rue, do we have rhythm mcchenn No.

Speaker 6 (22:14):
I guess, I guess. Yokovic didn't like that. He thought
they were booing him, and so after the match he
he addressed the fans and did some trash talking to
those those people, to all those people that have chosen
to disrespect the player in this case, me have a
good night.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Night, good night, very good night. He saw he was kidding. Eddie,
is fun.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
It's fun. It's Tennessee. I gotta do something.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
I never thought of tennis as fun though. People very
precious pretentious in tennis.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
You know, you mean like Brian Finley.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
I'm not naming names, but they might live in San Diego.
You know, I might have grown up in San Diego.
I'm just saying, all right, we have fun facts, Eddie.
We must get to the fun facts right now here
mal fun fact and he mentioned part of the story,
but not the rest of the story. The Atlanta Braves
came back. I was actually watching this game. They beat
the Diamondbacks, and that win by the Atlanta baseball team,

(23:15):
the Bravos snapped a twenty eight game losing streak when
their opponent scores four or more runs. The Atlanta Braves
had lost the last twenty eight games when the opponent
scored that many runs. Braves over the weekend reacquired Eddie
Rosario off the waiver wire. I thought, I think he's

(23:36):
in the minor leagues. But anyway, the Braves they ended
that streak and home run history in Minnesota the Twinkies.
The first six career game, somebody named brooks Lee. Brooks
Lee has eleven hits. That is the second most I
believe all time for the Twins. Kirby Puckett whatever happened

(23:57):
to Kirby Pucket most hits in his first games with fourteen,
But this guy Brooksley eleven hits. He also has eight
runs batted in, the most in Twins' history over a
very small sample size, very small sample size of only
six games. So those are your fun facts, fun facts.

(24:18):
Now this is not technically a fun fact, but I
think it could be a fun fact. Hit it again,
fun fact. I mentioned this earlier. I didn't pay it off.
Bad job by me. So Serena Williams, the aforementioned tennis player.
She recently a story came out she at one point
tried to deposit a one million dollars check at a

(24:41):
drive through, a drive through you know the banks, with
a driver. So she tried to deposit a one million
dollar check at a drive through at a bank and
was rejected, not allowed. You cannot do it.

Speaker 6 (24:55):
Got to go in the bank for that.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta go in the bank.

Speaker 6 (25:01):
Can't take a picture of it with your phone.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
And now I don't think that that works, she says.
I got my check. It was a million dollars. I'll go, okay,
I'm gonna go deposit it. I just went to the
drive through and the guy was like, I think you
need to come inside for this. I think you need
to come inside for this, and a speak to the manager. Yeah, yeah,

(25:23):
seven figure deposit. They say, the insurance caps at two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Remember this came up in
the Otani thing, with the fact that there were all
these deposits that had to be made, and every time
you go over a certain amount, it triggers all these
warning signs to the bank for fraud, which has many

(25:46):
people skeptical that there wasn't some kind of funding business
going on with Otani and those deposits. So anyway, it
is the Ben Maller Show.

Speaker 6 (25:54):
Have you ever made a significant no, god positive, No.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
No, no, Well that's not true, I mean, not not
like a million dollars anything like.

Speaker 6 (26:03):
Not a million dollars. But when I sold my dad's
house after he passed away, we had a we had
a decent chunk of change and sure, so we went
to the bank to deposit it. And boy, I was
an experience. Anyway. Oh, come and sit down and we'd
like to talk to manager, and I want to upgrade
you to like a gold account and oh just hilarious.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
They give you like water and whatever.

Speaker 6 (26:25):
Yeah, they were like, boy, they were so helpful.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah. Yeah, because I'm my parent. You know, I did
get a little bit after the parents passed away, and
so you you passed that to the bank. But it
wasn't like I didn't go through the drive through. I
didn't go back to the ATM or anything like that.
You know, went in the bank and they're very happy
when you have a lot of money.

Speaker 6 (26:42):
To Oh they were so happy. Yeah, man, they were
happy to see.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
When you go in there with twenty five dollars, they're
not there.

Speaker 6 (26:49):
Go go use the ATM.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
It doesn't really do much for them anyway. It is
that the ben Mouas just go to George George, George,
George George George is in La Hello, George Damns.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Then yeah, I got the Rams, the Dodgers going all
the way, brother, all the way. The Rams are back
on track again with their new tandem of Florida State
kids and uh sat forgot one more good year in
MLAs and the Dodgers with a tiny the gal man,

(27:20):
So are you abandon?

Speaker 1 (27:21):
So we're all good? Then you got the the Ram
What about the Clippers? They'll win to So you got
that in the newer in Inglewood. So you got the
Rams the Dodgers, and I'm good that that's perfect? Right?

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah, yeah, the Clipper is a questionable man.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
But no, now what are you talking about? They got
the into a dome in the hood in Inglewood. They're
good to go on that. They got the richest owner
in American sports, Steve Bamber six richest persons the world.
Not you seen all? That's a wise move. Washed up.
Don't don't let a fall on you. Don't try to
catch a falling knife. They are better you do the basketball, eddie.
You're not the best. You stick with the w n

(27:55):
B a Eddie. Stick with the w n B. A Eddie.
Maybe maybe can get a starting position with I think
thought that was good for them the way things are going,
I think that maybe the Lakers would be interesting because
nobody wants to play for the Lakers. Who else do
we have? DeMar de Rose didn't want to play there.

(28:18):
James Harden picked the Clippers over the Lakers. Jonas valancoutis,
I can go down the list that's embarrassing the Lakers, Hey.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Ben, how about the Bronni James and the shadow GM
Lebron James?

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Oh, GM by proxy, get it right, GM by proxy,
And that's great, and that's a way. And you know,
Eddie and Coop don't have a problem with this. But
the Lakers circumvented the Sarah cap. Uh. They gave They
gave Lebron James an excerp was his seven million or
whatever his kid got, which he did not deserve. He's
not good at basketball, and they gave him that money.

(28:52):
And it's a way to circumvent the Sarah.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Camp some money, you know, Big Ben, you know Stan
the money takes. I see guy from the Clippers, but
he's more quiet preserved about him.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Well, he's not the richest owner though. The richest owner
in the NFL is the Broncos owner, the Walton family guy.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
That's Uh, that's Santroncky's uh his wife is her brother.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
But anyway, yeah, no, I know. But yet the pecking
order of the Walton family the because technically the old
guy owns the Broncos even though he doesn't run it,
the kids run it.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
So yeah, Kronkey, I had to give Josh his NBA
team gets because I can't have them all.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
But all right, you're very optimistic, George, You're very optimistic.
I gotta move on, but thank you, buddy. Good to
hear your voice. That slo to Mike in Boston. What's
going on?

Speaker 9 (29:48):
Mike?

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Welcome, good morning?

Speaker 7 (29:50):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (29:51):
If I was any better, I would be a Patriot,
but not a New England Patriots, because they're gonna stink.

Speaker 7 (29:56):
No listen, I might say Irish farmers. So come on
a second, you're totally wrong. What a few thinks tonight?

Speaker 1 (30:03):
What if I said what I said, I'm gonna get correct.
My an Irish farmer.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
I am an Irish farmer over in Boston. Yeah that's true.
But anyway, I don't want to talk about the Patriots,
and I don't want to talk to pats. I don't
want to talk about that sucks. I want to talk
about Tatum.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Right, Well, you're on the air, you're on there. What
do you what do you need?

Speaker 7 (30:25):
Got it wrong? You even you just told the last
caller to get it right, and you got it wrong.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
What did I say that was incorrect? What did I
say that was incorrect? What did I say say? What
did I say?

Speaker 7 (30:36):
You said? You said you went in to some place
and they left the bag or jersey, and you got
the wrong name, and it was it was Malloy the
whole time, and you said the other name. And then
Nady said to you, blah blah blah, you stole it.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
And then you said, that was a clarification, sir, That
was a clarification. That is allowed. A clarification is allowed,
just like when you're out on the farm. When you're
out on the farm and you grew up, all right,
you mess off, you're you're allowed to go back and
clean up the mess.

Speaker 7 (31:06):
Yes, but it wasn't your It wasn't your thing to
begin with. I was my thing. It was hey Annis.
It was in the jacuzzie and I left my my
swim bag in the pool, and then I had to
go back at four o'clock in the morning and that's
the lovely people that the what are you talking about?
I'm checking out. I'm living finished for Cristmas.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
It's a terrible story.

Speaker 7 (31:29):
I had to go get the back and he went
into my bag and I said thank you, and I
went back to Boston. But I want to still talk
about the lad called Tatum because you you made a mistake.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
This is a real fight. Really, we're getting punked her head?

Speaker 6 (31:40):
Is this?

Speaker 1 (31:40):
I feel like this is like? This is this? Jonas?
Are you Jonas in the back? What is going on here? What?

Speaker 7 (31:45):
Don't tell the rain it's a jump in here because
you're wrong. And when I call you wrong, you're wrong.

Speaker 6 (31:49):
Now you mentioned Lucky Charles earlier.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
My fakes.

Speaker 7 (31:54):
Yeah, I'm talking, okay, Okay, my kids are telling me
to turn it down.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
It's okay me. I gotta go.

Speaker 6 (32:04):
Thank you, Green Clovers and blue Stars, yellow moons.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Was that Roberto? Because Roberto fake called the show last week?
Jonahs Knox, I'm going Jonas knocks for a thousands, no
lead a laugh? Who was it?

Speaker 11 (32:23):
Hey, Lee La, I never told you about the guys.
About the time that Jonas totally pranked me and pretended
to be Annie Z.

Speaker 6 (32:34):
Used to work here with the great z Dog, and
I fell for it.

Speaker 11 (32:40):
He was hiding under the desk in the studio and
called them called the studio.

Speaker 10 (32:46):
Line and was like, you know, he said that I.

Speaker 11 (32:50):
Just came by the studio and and you weren't in there.

Speaker 10 (32:54):
I was like, I was talking to Gascon in the
updates studio. I don't know David.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
He retired to Florida. He's a David Gagt, the minor
league baseball killer. Yeah, yeah, anyway, all right, well there
you go, a little funny phone call for you. Always
fun to have a phony phone call. So these anonymous
coaches and scouts in the NFL, you have all these
outrageous quotes, right, and it's it's very good. Among the
ones that stood out to me, they said that Christian

(33:23):
McCaffery isa exactly how you would drop a football player,
which reminds me of when I hosted The Blitz with
Looney Tunes. We used to mock the meatheads in sports.
But I say that guy's a football player, and then
Looney would say that guy's a football player, and then
I would say they're all football players because it's a
football thing and that's what they do. And we'd goof
on that have fun. Then there was one NFL scout

(33:45):
that said, Isaiah Pacheco of the Chiefs is a bowling ball. Okay, course,
back in the day we had butterball, which we liked
more butterball turkey. Where do you go?

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Right?

Speaker 1 (33:57):
All right, there are others, but I must get to
the clock. I am on time, outed by the clock
for the clock plausably all about the clock. We're gonna
have sight the bite. Also before I forget Tyreek Hill
real quick, Tyreek Hill went viral again at one of
these football camps. Tyreek this time burned by a appears
to be a teenage girl. Blue pass Tyreek Hill the

(34:20):
fastest man on the planet in a football drill. And
