Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb Bird two hour two
of the Mallard Podcast recorded off terrestrial radio, and the
big story the top team in the NFL suffering through
an injury situation. Are you buying or selling that Jalen

(00:20):
hole Hurts. Jalen Hurt's shoulder injury is minor and Philly
is just acting out of an abundance of caution. Can
the Eagles tread water or even do better than that
with backup quarterback Gardner Minshew? And what does this Jalen
Hurts injury do for the Birds in the big picture.

(00:42):
We'll talk about that and much more, including a very
important update on a senior brigadier general in the Mallard Militia.
We'll get to that as well. Here it is our
number two. Talk about living up to your surname, Jalen Hurts,
putting the hurt in Jalen Welcome, in the beginning of

(01:04):
another hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are in
the air EveryWare shoulder, two shoulders. We are a paid
up member of the Mallar Militia. Yes, we are coast

(01:25):
and unreasonably powerful microphones of fsre emmanting live from the wash,
the eyewash of athletic chatter. We are broadcasting live from

(01:48):
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers ti
irac dot com the way tire buying should be so
early this hour, coming from the Delaware Valley that is
where the NFL's top team resides. Record wise, anyway, we
can debate whether they're too legit to quit. But the

(02:10):
Philadelphia Eagles, with that super sexy thirteen and one record,
the only blemish a loss to the Washington football team,
not too shabby at all. Right, everything's great, all's well,
and the birds nasty unless it's not. And if you
have not heard, and possibly you've been living in a

(02:31):
bubble and you've missed it. We have learned that the
Eagles headline player above the above the fold there above
the marquis whatever you wanna call it. Eagles quarterback Jalen
Hurts has landed in the injury tent after suffering a
serious shoulder injury. Now Hurts is said to have a

(02:54):
sprained throwing shoulder. He did it against the Bears in
the game over the weekend. I blame Chris from des Moines,
who was there. He probably puts some kind of whammy
on Jalen Hurts. It sounds sounds like Jalen Hurts is
going to miss Saturday's game Week sixteen, the much hyped

(03:14):
game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles have informed their
media messengers, their fanboys in the media that this is
a minor situation. Nothing to see here. This is not
a long term injury. Now, if Hurts is out, that
means that my guy, the gardener gardner menshu, we'll get

(03:37):
to start and we can crank up the band for
minshew Mania. That's right, all right, So let us discuss
the question just between me and you. The question is this,
are you buying or selling that Jalen hurts shoulder injury
is minor and he's just just acting out of an
abundance of caution. The Eagles are so I am selling, selling, selling, selling,

(04:03):
We are selling. I've got pedal, cannonball, and tractor and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make a soggy cheese steak, a sad cheese
steak that's been sitting out for too long, and everything's soggy,
and who wants that? You don't want that? The bread
zol saggy has fallen apart. It's disgusting, all right. So

(04:26):
number the Eagles, what they're doing here is classic spin
I feel like spin cycle. Regina, our caller from Minnesota,
has been hired by the Eagles in their peer department.
There they're attempting to minimize the injury Jalen Hurts. He

(04:52):
is the guiding like the beacon of hope for the Eagles. Now,
we did a monologue about Jalen Hurts last week. We
pointed out that much of the success of Hurts is
a byproduct of the Unorthodox offense, which showcases the skill
set of Jalen Hurts. That doesn't mean that Jalen Hurts

(05:13):
is not great. It just means that he's a product
of the offense. And now that he is dinged up,
is this a big deal, a little deal or no deal? Well,
it's not a big deal. It's a little deal, but
it's certainly not no deal. And we're getting vague details
on the injury and the Eagles are working overtime to

(05:36):
press the pedal. They want to soft pedal this. They're
downplaying it, and that that raises my suspicions. This is
not my first barbecue. And when I see that, I say,
wait a minute, hold on a second, what's going on here.
We're not getting the full story. We're getting a version
of the story. We're not getting the whole story. So

(05:57):
let's play along though, just for now, me and you
were in a play along. The question that must be
asked if the Eagles are being legit and they're not
giving us a load of bullshoy or bullpucky, as our
friend Jay Scoop likes to say. So with that as
the backdrop, the question that is the most pertinent questions

(06:20):
what grade is the shoulder sprain? And that's the only
question that matters. Now, why is that important? Well, I'm
not a doctor, but I can practice medicine on the radio,
and I have a simpleton's knowledge of medicine from the
years of talking about various injuries behind microphones. And what
I have learned over the years is that that is

(06:42):
the question that matters most because that will indicate the
timeline of recovery. For example, you have grade one. In
grade two shoulders brains, the injured shoulder would be treated
with rest ice and ibuprofen. As a guy used to
work with us, say, pharmacy, great IYB, yourprofen or advil motrin,

(07:03):
those type of anti inflammatory drugs will be given and
they would relieve the pain in the swelling. The arm
would be placed into a sling for anywhere from one
to three weeks. So that's a minor situation. That's one
to three weeks. With the amount of medical attention that
the modern athlete gets, that's a very small thing. But

(07:25):
for grade two sprains, the sling is worn for four weeks,
and with grade three sprains, the recovery depending on the
job you have, Like if you're a football player, or
you're working a job where you're in construction or you're
working a factory and you're lifting stuff up quite a bit,
the collar bone gets displaced, and then that is a

(07:48):
whole different ball of you know what. Right, if Hurts
has a Grade two shoulder sprain, will likely be out
grade two or grade three, he'll be out for the
rest of the NFL regular season. The Eagles have three
games left they play at the Cowboys home with the
Saints and the Giants, and that big game is the

(08:08):
Cowboy Game. So if you figure he's gonna miss that game,
why would you bring him back for the Saints and
the Giants. I'm pretty sure you could go down to
the train station in Philadelphia and get some guys to
play quarterback. That would beat the Saints and the way
the Giants are going right now as well. Now page two,
can the Eagles just kind of hang out tread water? Right?

(08:31):
Can they hang out with their backup Gardner Minshew? So
the answer to that is a resounding yes. So both
Jalen Hurts being crucial to the gimmicky offense of the
Eagles run and them being okay with Gardner Minshew are
true simultaneously. Not only will the Birds be able to

(08:52):
tread water, but they will also flourish because Gardner Minshew.
And I admit I'm a card carrying Gardner Minshew. Mania, guy,
this is a swash buckler who was schooled under the
Great Pirate himself, not Blackbeard, Mike Leech, the late Mike Leech.
Gardner Minshew. What are the last quarterbacks to make it

(09:13):
in the pros that was schooled by Mike Leach and
he's a fire in the hole. He's loaded with a
cannon ball. Gardner Minchew, he has been consistent. He's played
on mostly bad teams. That was in Jacksonville, and when
he's gotten an opportunity. His touchdown to interception ratio forty
one touchdowns, twelve interceptions. And Mike Leach used to preach

(09:35):
about this, The most important skill for a quarterback is
not how hard you throw the ball. It's not how
quick you run and you get out of the pocket.
It's all about accuracy. And this Gardner Minshew is he's
got that to infinity and beyond. He's the top backup
in terms of accuracy in the NFL. He should be starting.

(09:57):
We campaigned for Seattle to get him. They went with
Geno Smith. The Eagles are gonna batten down the hatches
just like a pirate. It's the system, not the player.
Hurts has been great. They'll adjust the system for Minshoe.
He's not gonna run crazy like Jalen Hurts, and they'll
make her work. They'll they'll figure it out. Now. Final point,

(10:19):
what does the Jalen Hurts injury do for the Birds
in the big picture. So if Hurts is out for
the rest of the year, if it's a Grade two
or Grade three spring, which means he's most likely out
for the rest of the regular season, that works out
as a sneaky advantage to the Eagles. Let me tell
you why it's a net positive because the Philly coach,

(10:42):
Nick Serrianti is going to be the farmer driving a tractor.
He'll be planting a straight row of seeds, the seed
of excuse. He'll use his GPS system there to make
sure everything's lined up in a straight row. Should they need,
they'll go out there and they'll harvest the seeds that

(11:02):
are being planted by Nick Sirianni, the farmer and the
seeds of excuse s list. We would have, we could
a we should have if only Jalen Hurts had not
gotten hurt. Gotta have a fall guy, gotta have a fucker.
Now that said Gardner Minshew is certainly better than Nick Foles.

(11:23):
We know that the Eagles a few years ago, we're
barely old enough to remember, but they won a Super
Bowl with Nick Foles who stepped in for Carson Wentz
and wam bam, thank you, ma'am. Beat Tom Brady and
the super Bowl and we're the champs. So that's how
that work, all right. It is the Ben Maller Show.
We'll take some calls. There's a line open, one line open,
Get it before it fills up. Eight seven seven ninety

(11:45):
nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six
three six nine. Also on Twitter at Ben Maller. That's
at Ben Maller. You can be part of the aestivities.
So there's a story that I've been debating whether or
not to talk about here. I found out about it
just before the show. I wanted to share it with

(12:07):
you though. It involves the Mallard militia and the core
of this show, our overnight radio families. Well, we'll get
to that. We'll go over that, and you're you're going
to hear what we have to say on that topic
of conversation, and we'll get to that. We will do
it next. Be sure to catch live editions of The

(12:28):
Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio appis falls
on the radio callsio. It takes the entire village to

(13:03):
raise up the Maller militia. We need support from comrades
like you to get the most out of the Ben
Maller Show. Have your voice be heard by the night
loving masses. It takes hardly any time to follow your
host on Twitter. He's at Ben Maller and you can
tweet that and follow our executive producer. He is manning
the phones. But he is more than just the call
of screener. He's the liar, liar and the menace of

(13:23):
the Fox Sports Radio network. It's the Coop delup Justin
Cooper and he's at you, h bronco fan. Wow Wow?
What's that? Wow wow? Atli from the tire rack dot
Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller. Bow to
the wow Wow. We did a Jalen Hurt Smaller monologue
here to begin this hour ranting, and Raven JJ from

(13:51):
Renton says, I'm glad I have a four by four.
This is some bts. He's showing what appears to be snow,
nice pottery snow in the Seattle area. And who else
do you have? Malarpop guy, says Jalen Hurst. Don't worry.
Radio doctor Ben Maller received his shoulder orthopedic training from
former Dodger third base coach Jolia Malfatano. That's true, absolutely

(14:15):
correct on that. And I'm not a doctor, but I
play one on the radio. Shane in des Moines rights in.
He says, great monologue, Ben a plus no extra plus
is because you have to earn those from the Iowa
branch of the Mallar militia. I know it's you, Roberto,
so he said. There was also a message I wanted

(14:36):
to read from earlier from Chet in SoCal He says,
when will sports drafts be outlawed? You are the best,
so you have to go to the worst team. Every
player turning pro should be a free agent. Chet says,
let the billion dollar franchise figure out how to spend
their money. Hey, I'm right there. Just put a fund

(14:58):
every team gets X amounts of dollars spend on players.
I'm not against that. I am tired of the draft.
It's I've seen enough. And if they had balls, which
they don't, they would set up a relegation system the
NFL could use the Canadian Football League. How great would
it be if the Packers sucked for seven years and
they ended up in the CFL. That would be outstanding
but what the hell, you know, why not go for it,

(15:20):
knock yourself out with that baseball. You could end up
in the Mexican League. There are ways to do it
the NBA, the developmental League, but they won't They won't
even go down that road because of the financial implications
involved in that, where if you're an owner, why would
you risk gamble that you could be relegated and then

(15:41):
your franchise value would go from billions and billions of
dollars down to millions and millions of dollars. Good luck
on that. So but I listen in all seriously, and
we're gonna take some calls and all we'll get back
to the conversations. I did want to share something with
you guys as friends of the show, and I was
debating whether or not to talk about this, because you know,
these these kind of things we try to we try

(16:02):
to hold off as long as we can. But let
me kind of give you the the insight skinning and
what what's been going on. So I got a message
during the afternoon from a senior brigadier general in the
Mallard Militia. The Ozzie Guy, host of the one of
the hosts of the Mallard Town podcast, and so the
Azzie Guy had said, Hey, we we're a little concerned

(16:24):
about this, you know one of our friends, and can
you can you check out and see how he's doing.
And so I said, sure, you know, I will absolutely
do it. I'll contact the person. The person that Ozzy
Guy wanted me to contact was Jay Scoop, who has
won The Talent Show multiple times. We've had Jay Scoop
in studio. Jay made Jay Scoop known as Jesse's real

(16:47):
names Jesse, but we call him Jay Scoop. Very talented
musician Jesse. He actually set up it was pretty much
all him. The Seattle and meet and greet, the thing
we did right before COVID started in late December of
twenty nineteen, before the world went crazy, and we got
together with a bunch of super fans in the Pacific Northwest.
It was awesome. That was pretty much all Jesse's doing.

(17:09):
He made sure that happened, and it was. It was
so great. So I reached out to Jesse and it
turns out, unfortunately he's had a medical situation and I
don't know how much of it I can say on
the air, but he is listening right now in a hospital,
and so I wanted to send Jesse. I know you're
in tough shape. He's got a long road to come
back here. And his cousin actually reached out to me

(17:34):
and she kind of get me. She gave me some
details on what's going on, and I again, out of
respect to him and his situation, I don't know that
he wants me to share that with the world. But
he is resting comfortably as comfortably as he can be
in a hospital right now. They're hoping he's gonna need
some some care and he's got a bunch of tests
that are going on right now. If you've ever been

(17:54):
to the hospital or he've had a relative there, you
know it's a pain in the gass. They poke and
proad you for just about everything and so but that's
all good stuff. But he is listening, I'm told right
now in the iHeartRadio app. So thank you, Jesse. We
love you, man. And if you believe in prayers, send
some prayers to Jesse. If you just if you don't
believe in prayer, to send some good thoughts to our

(18:16):
friend Jesse. And we hope that this goes well. It's
gonna be a long road for Jesse to get his
feet back and all that, get back on his feet.
But our thoughts are with our friend Jay Scoop, who's
so good and in many respects, Jay Scoop and Just
Josh created the music wing on the show. Like I
had a few song parodies that were submitted, But Jesse,

(18:38):
so good. You're such a good musician, Jesse, and you
teamed up with Just Josh and Cincinnati and send these
songs in which were great. And then we had mister
PC in Flint, Michigan that he started doing it. Our
friend Ohio Al, our buddy and Richmond and all these
other people. It started following off your lead. So feel better, Jesse.

(18:59):
We love you, man in and we look forward to
you coming back here and calling and harassing us and
being in studio when you when you get your health back.
So take care of yourself. And we're thinking good thoughts
for our friend Jesse. Hopefully he'll be back Jay Scoop
as he has known on this show. All right, it
is the Bannet Maller Show. And from that we now transition.

(19:20):
What better transition than to Jed who fled Oh my,
all right, Hello Jed, Hello Jed you're on Fox Sports Radio.
It so the Ben Mallers Show. Yeah, I was gonna
say I wish it, Hey, Jed, is you know something?
But I feel like he's gonna be it's gonna be dark.
So that's I undod um uh. And about night A man,

(19:41):
good man, you stated calling him this open lesson all
lie open. Now I'll call him before someone someone else
gets it. You're an egg, I've been I'm a one
percenter man. I'm very I got two phones, rapper name,
I did what you said? I call it in. I
got the open live feel I actually be some sort
of littlephole do it? Coop just had like an irritated

(20:02):
silence of like Jay, come on, like how are you
this time? But I feel I should because and that
should be a gold stating it because I'm never ever
gonna win a game again, melted my drugs or melting
my brain with drugs. But the show, I'm hilarious. I'm
freaking entertainment. I just can't. I can't win, you know
what I mean? So what am I looking about? What
do you think you're You're you're on the chair of

(20:22):
your psychologically evaluating me. What do you got it? I
think you should go to bed, Ben. That's what everybody's
been saying. Dude. That's how I know. It's because maths
conspiracy that I shouldn't do it, you know. I mean
they're like las find a flat service about six feet long,
laid down and I was like, oh, I'm not trying
to be get called planking, dude. I'm not doing that now.
I don't. I don't need to go to sleep, man.
Thing is, where's the last time you went to bed?

(20:46):
When's the last time I went to bed? And whenever
I last saw your wife? Dude? Once you toned down,
I don't know who needs sleep? All right, nobody. Now,

thirty three percent more to get stuff done. And about
the fence or six day, you're really kick into gear man,
and you're vacuum and you're picking up shiny things that
have no value and it's and it's um. But if
you do that outside of a stadium or something, you

People like that? They love that, they loved Jed who flat.

(21:27):
I don't get it, man, I don't get that. Sounds funny,
but that call is not Every call is your masterpiece.
That was not a masterpiece. The Russian kid writes in
from the Great State of Ohio, it's just been Unlike
the Ben Gals, the Eagles are slightly overrated. Unlike the Mangals,
the Eagles haven't been punched in the mouth. With a

(21:50):
very suspect schedule they inherited from the NFL. The only
quarterback quarterbacks the Eagles played is Ryan Tannehill, and Kirk
Cousin is among the playoff teams they're going to miss.
Jalen Hurts, don't don't undersell Gardner. Minshew, this guy's good.
Minshoe Mania. I've had it. I'm gonna go get my

(22:11):
George right now to celebrate minshoe Mania. That's how that's
gonna go. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hey,
I'm Doug Gottlieb. The podcast is called All Ball. We
usually talk all basketball all the time, but it's more
about the stories about what made these people love their

(22:33):
sport and all the interesting interactions along the way. We
talked to coaches, we talked to players. We tell you stories.
You download it, you listen to it. I think you'll
like it. Listen to All Ball with Doug Gottlieb on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or ever you get your podcast.
The Green Bay Packers, of course, we talked about them

(22:54):
on Monday Football. They made a roster move before the game.
Veteran wide receiver Sammy Watkins, Hey, y'all is released. He
is available for anybody who wants him. The bad news
is Sammy's lost his job. The good news is he
no longer has to spend another day in Green Bay.
So there is is that cheap shot Eddie. I've heard

(23:16):
it was a nice place to visit. I don't know
that I want to live there, but my brother lives there.
Appleton Pizza, that's the big city. It was good pizza. Yeah, good.
Oh they better have a good pizza. Right. Cheese in Wisconsin. Right,
you don't have good cheese pizza and Wisconsin you got
something wrong. And cheese kurds you don't have that going on.
You got issues. I just love the fact there's no

(23:36):
hotel big enough in Green Bay for the team, so
they have to stay in Appleton. I love that. That
is crazy. I think they build. Somebody would be like, hey,
we can get we can get the business every Sunday.
I mean, I know it's not a lot of dates,
but that's the problem. It's only was it ten games
ten days a year with the preseason and the home games,
maybe sometimes more than that. I guess a couple more

(23:57):
playoffs or whatever. Anyway, all right, well thank you. Sammy
Watkins a man that used my phone Eddie when he
was with the Rams. Yes, I was at a Ram
game and I called somebody from Foxer, so can you
get Sammy Watkins on I was in the Rams locker room.
I handed Sammy Watkins my phone. He then walked to
a restricted area with my phone, and for half an

(24:18):
hour I was sweating whether or not I was gonna
get my phone back. The interview lasted about six minutes,
and then some some Ram staffer came out and apologize,
saying Sammy had forgotten he had my phone. Yeah, And
I said, well I hadn't forgotten I had my phone
and he had I hadn't forgotten he had my phone,
so I had a Hall of Famer used my phone once.

(24:39):
Oh it's sport a football football Hall of Famer. He
mostly got in because of his coaching, but he did
play in the NFL. Let's see here. What era of
the NFL as far as he's playing. Yeah, oh, it
was like the sixties. Okay, what it was it coaching?
What was the coaching? He was a famous defensive coordinator,

(25:00):
all right, famous defensive coordinator, and he's still coaching. He's
not Hall of Famer, so he's not not coaching anymore.
Buddy Ryan, No, not Buddy Ryan. Anyone else want to play, Roberto?
You want to play defensive coordinator. It's a fun game, Roberto.
You want playing the game right now? You listening can
play as well. What defensive coordinator used Eddie Garcia's phone,

(25:23):
Hall of Famer? It was following a super Bowl win. Oh,
a super Bowl win? That changes the stakes here, Papers,
that's a that's a pretty good guess. Hold on. Roberto
dom Capers was also a defensive coordinator of this team.

(25:49):
Way Phillips, no, the way to Yeah, I guess he
did win a Super Bowl somewhere as a defensive coordinator.
I think let's see here one of their monty en No,
uh no, Dick le oh, Dick Lebau. You let Dick
use your phone? Huh I did? Yeah, all right, that's good,

(26:11):
all right, solid, all right, here's the Bannet Maller show
and Pete Carroll's gonna be in the Hall of Fame.
He using my phone packed ten media day. Famous people

of support from the Mallard militia for Jays Scoop Darryl,
who guaranteed the Rams will suck for the next decade,
So no need to watch the Rams, he says, awfully
sad news. Thanks for the update, big man. I don't
listen much anymore, how dare you? But I know who
that guy is. He's extremely talented. Get well soon, Jay Scoop,

(26:56):
and happy holidays, brother, We're all pulling for your prayers up.
We need your wonderful music, he says. The curmudgeon that
is Justin and Cincinnati, says it needs to be said.
I hate everyone, especially Cooper Loop, but not my guy,
Jay Scoop. Get better soon. Robbie's becoming a problem, if

(27:16):
you know what I mean, He points out, and no
stradinas who was at that Mallard meet and greet back

You want music, you want anything at all? Oh? What

the third Degree. Here's the instant trivia. Forty nine Ers
quarterback Brock Purty joined Blank is the only quarterbacks since
at least nineteen fifty to have a passer rating of

(34:16):
All right? Does anyone know the answer? Here? Bobby Brister

(34:39):
Cowboy fan Rex Grossman tossed out by Hobby Bobby Chipping.
The Ques is going with Tom Brady, the Grinch from
Surley Scott. That's his answer, Eddie. Do you have an
answer quickly, Eddie. Former Vikings legend Bill Kappelman. It's a
great name, but it's a former packer current packer as well.
Aaron Rodgers is the answer. Aaron Rogers never heard of it.

(35:01):
I don't know that it's Mallard. How about to the
third degree? This is one big band gets great coop
dow loop. So the Chargers win over the Titans put
them into a wildcard spot with three games left to go?
Do you think they hold onto that spot? Yes. If
they don't hold on, heads are going to roll. I

(35:25):
peeked ahead. You look at the schedule. Here's the schedule
for the Chargers. Yogurt Pudding and Fruit Smoothie. That's who
they play. They've got a very soft schedule. They play
the Colts, Baker Mayfield and the Rams and your Broncos.
So they should should be three wins. You're in the
Only issue is the black cloud that has followed the

(35:46):
Bolts around, going back to their days in San Diego.
They are a snake bit franchise, but even with that
backdrop outside of snap crackle pop to Justin Herbert, the
Chargers are in the questions what seed will they have?
But they're in next The NFL is sent memos to
all thirty two teams during the owner's meeting and forming

(36:08):
informing them that they have spent eight hundred dollars on
coach in front office firings over the last only eight
hundred dollars. That's not a lot to spend it. I
got hit hundred box in my bank account. Eight hundred
million dollars all right over the last five years. Ben,
Do you think in general coaches and executives aren't getting
enough time to build something? No, I think it's fine
the way this operates just the big leagues. You're not

(36:29):
in the minor leagues. You gotta work fast and patience
is not a virtue. It is not plentiful in the NFL.
The problem, the biggest issue is the owners hire the
wrong people. They're very lazy. They don't they don't know
how to hire good people. Every year, my entire life,
whatever team gets to the Super Bowl, they're rated, their
assistant coaches are rated. It's it's there's no depth to it,

(36:53):
like there are good coaches on bad teams, but they
don't put the effort in. They hire head hunting teams
and they just whoever was on Like if Buffalo gets
to the super Bowl, whoever on the bill staff, it's
gonna be a head coach or or you know, last
year it was the Rams. It's ridiculous. But when you
hire a coach in a gym, you know the stakes,
you get paid a lot of money. And that's the
way that it works, and it's it's not a sad thing.

(37:15):
You gotta get results. That's how business operates. Next. Less
than two weeks ago, the Orlando Magic were the worst
team in the NBA at five and twenty. They then
rattled off six wins in a row. They just lost
a nail biter to the to the Hawks. Yeah, but
ben their wins were get some pretty good competition. Do
you think they're a team to look out for? No,
I don't the Orlando Magic. It's nice. They want a

(37:38):
few years. It's like Sacramento. Do I think you asked
me about Sacramento. They want a few games and I no,
I don't think the Orlando Magic or that great. Paulo
Banchero's a good player Bowl Bowl has been fun to watch.
It's like that's Minute Bowls Child Bow Bowl. But but
other than that, No, they're not going anywhere. The Orlando
Magic in the Eastern Conference. How Dad ain't doubt Kobaloo?

(38:01):
You failed this edition? Why did I fail? You said
eight hundred you should fail. Nine's eight hundred million. I
ain't hundred. That's a bad job by you. Well you
screwed it up. I didn't make the mistake. You made
the mistake. Loser, winner. Don't drive chrunk, you'll be a loser.
