Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numbber four, our four ready
to go, and like a lamb, ceed Lamb, the Cowboys
Ceede Lamb and the Vikings justin Jefferson both skipping voluntary
camp toss up question which player is more likely to

(00:21):
be traded between Jefferson and Cede Lamb. We will discuss that. Also,
many scouts seem to agree that JJ McCarthy should not
even be drafted in the first round, even though he
most likely will be drafted in the top ten. How
do you process that? And Vikings tight end TJ. Hockinson
wants the NFL to look into outlaw low hits. What

(00:45):
do you make of that story? We'll talk about all
that and more right now here. It is our number four.
Have a great Tuesday, enjoy the sixteenth day of April.
Here it is our number.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Four, as quiet as a lamb. Well come.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show,
we are in the air everywhere Polka pals as we
elevate your audio experience coast to coast, border to border
and beyond. On the mast and strappingly powerful microphones of

(01:24):
fsre emmnating live from the dives we are ducking and
diving audio punches. We're broadcasting live from the Tirak dot
Com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get there
and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended in stallars. Nick and Wisconsin

(01:47):
thinks that's a lot. Tire rack dot Com the way
tirebuying should be. Just did a little victory lap there
after my beatdown of Eddie Garcia in the latest game
show malth's amount of money. But we continue, the show
must go on. The show must go on, So our
lead this hour we go back to the Absenteeism Department

(02:10):
of Pro Football. A pair of the top wide outs
in the NFL. We are told decided not to show
up to voluntary I say that with a wink and
a nod voluntary workouts that began on Monday amid contract negotiations.
So if you didn't hear about this, and maybe not,

(02:30):
maybe you were doing some other stuff, you're probably all
jones up. You had your big board for the WNBA draft.
Unless that's not true. So we are told that C. D.
Lamb and he plays with the Cowboys, and Justin Jefferson
he plays for the Viking. Did these two guys a
couple of big name receivers. Jefferson better than Ceedee Lamb,
but they both skipped the voluntary camp, at least the

(02:54):
beginning of it. So toss up, question which player is
more likely to be traded between now and the NFL Draft.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
So that's the question.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I've got HITCHCOCKI and raw ingredients and laser printer, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a nap, which is what our
friend the queen needs after eating fifteen steaks and the
baked potatoes and the whole thing. All right, So to

(03:26):
kick off though the question again, CD Lamb justin Jefferson,
toss up who is most likely to be traded?

Speaker 2 (03:32):
These are voluntary in air quotes?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Right, we make that very quick, voluntary in air quotes.
We know how this works. We've done this long enough.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
You paid attention. You know how it works too.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
In any line of work where your boss says it's voluntary,
kind of got to be it. I kind of got
to be there. You don't have to be there, Well,
you don't have to be there. It's all about the optics. Right,
they're optional, how whoever, you're expected to have perfect attendance,
and the only way you cannot show up is if

(04:05):
you're a star player. If you're disgruntle and you're a
star player, you don't have to show up. But if
you're some guy who's barely on the team, like the
third string tackle, you better be there, right. You don't
have any wiggle room, So forget about that.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Now.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
This is the standard progression, though. What we're seeing from
Justin Jefferson and what we're seeing from the Ceedee Lamb
cat from Dallas is the standard progression of NFL offseason
thespian activity. We're gonna call it thespian activity here because

(04:40):
everything must be HITCHCOCKI and he hitchcocky and mellow drama.
The rule of drama.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Things always have to be more messy than they need
to be and all that. It just is the way
it works.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
In terms of answering the question, getting down to the
meat of the matter here, the arrow on this one
is point towards Justin Jefferson. Now he's not giving any discounts,
at least that is his public position.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Neither is Ceedee Lamb.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
But who is more likely to overpay a player who
has spent the last thirty plus years overpaying players. Ding ding, Ding,
ding ding. That's right, Jerry Jones. The Minnesota Vikings, on
the other hand, are not eighteen that is known to
do that, right. They don't, they don't operate that way.
And so both these guys are looking for that massive,

(05:28):
massive paid. They're both gonna get paid a ton of money.
But if you look at the history, I know it's
different ownership, it's changed over the years. But if you
look at the Minnesota football team, and much to the
dismay of Hollering James, who probably didn't even know these
moves happened, but Randy Moss, disgruntled wide receivers traded. There
was a team that used to play in Oakland. You know,
Oakland used to be a big league city back in
the day. There was a team called the Raiders used

(05:49):
to play in Oakland, and Randy Moss was traded to
the Oakland Raiders. Yeah, from the Vike How about that
Sefon Diggs, Yeah, he used to play in Minnesota. The
minute soda a miracle, but the Stefan Diggs then went
out and he went to the Bills and then that
failed and now he's moved on to Houston, but the Vikings.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Got rid of him.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
So two of the last you go back to the
last twenty five years or so, two of the top
receivers in the NFL, both played in Minnesota. Both were
let go because they were unhappy in Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
You got another guy unhappy. Now.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
As for Ceedee Lamb, it's a little more complicated because
Jerry Jones loves to flex. He's like the Saudi Wellness Fund.
He loves just do the sovereign wellness. He just loves
to pay out a lot of money frivolously previously, and
so he's got a problem. I'm a salary cap truther,

(06:45):
so I believe the salary cap is for gayzy. But
that being said, there are limits to that. And the
Cowboys have not one, not two, but three name brand
players who are all looking for a bank heist at
the same time. Dakota Press got Micah Parsons and Cede Lamb.
Two of the three are going to get paid. One

(07:06):
of them when the Game of Musical Chairs ends, will
not be getting the money from the Cowboys. So to
get paid one doesn't. If I'm the Cowboys, I don't
pay Dak Prescott, he's out. I would have gotten rid
of him four years ago. So that's the guy I
get rid of. Is that the move Jerry Jones is
gonna make. And if Jerry Jones doesn't get rid of
Dak Prescott, and there's still a lot of time left

(07:28):
and he keeps Micah Parsons, then Ceedee Lamb is on
the OUs. But at this point in the story, Justin
Jefferson is more likely to be moved. Now, furthermore, we
turn our attention to the NFL Draft.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Why why not?

Speaker 1 (07:44):
So the NFL Draft coming up a little over a
week away, but nine days if I remember correctly, from
the NFL Draft today being Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
The NFL Draft is a week from Thursday.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
So my math computer like brain tells me that is
nine days, so all over a week away. Now, the
person we're going to talk about here is a fan
favorite of Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh is a smitten coach
when it comes to this guy. I was reading a
story that claimed that multiple NFL scouts are in lockstep

(08:20):
that Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy shouldn't be drafted in the
first round. So how do you process that? So I agree.
I don't understand the fascination with JJ McCarthy. I don't
get it. I'll never get it. He could go on

(08:42):
and be a great player in the NFL. I don't
get drafting him in the first round. It goes against
everything that I was taught about the draft process or process.
And here's why the NFL draft it was. It was
beaten into me with a shovel, all right, that the
NFL draft is all about the raw ingredients. It's all

(09:05):
about the eleven herbs and spices. That's what it's about.
Above all else. You draft the biggest, strongest, and fastest players.
They go in the first round. It's all about the measurables. J. J.
McCarthy is just your average run of the mill quarter.
It's nothing magical about JJ McCarthy. And he's in that
mold of Mac Jones. That's not a compliment. He's in

(09:26):
the Mac Jones mole from Alabama. Others have compared him
to Kenny Pickett, although that doesn't seem to make a
lot of sense. Will levis those type of quarters, and listen,
he was good at Michigan at handing the ball off
and nursing a lead. He was really good at that
and his pick, which is likely going to be in

(09:48):
the top six. Both these things are true. Where the
scouts that are saying he shouldn't be drafting the first
round or right, and the fact that he will be
drafted in the top ten seems also accurate. And listen,
everyone is just blatantly lying, and there's a lot lot
of lying going on. It is lying season in the NFL.
But we have seen a trend in the last decade

(10:08):
of quarterbacks, specifically quarterbacks being overdrafted. And the reason I
know they were overdrafted you look at the scouting reports
the year before these players are drafted. Mac Jones was
projected as a fifth or sixth round pick. Patriots drafted
him in the first round.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
What a bunch of bozos, right.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Baker Mayfield was projected as a I believe it was
a third or fourth round pick. He was drafted number
one overall. The little fella alligator Arms Murray in Arizona,
another guy because of his size that says, no way
you can draft that guy number one overall. He's a
flawed quarterback. He sucks, and the Cardinals took him number one.
And Baker Mayfield's had a little success, but he hasn't

(10:47):
been that good. It's been mostly bad. Had success in Tampa,
but the all of those guys, Mitch Trubisky, Mitch f
and Trubisky was the number two pick by the Bears.
I believe Daniel Jones. I can spend all night if
you are. He's in the morning. Now I can just
keep going all right. Anyway, last thing here, we stopped

(11:09):
by Minnesota. Why because there's a tight end there named TJ. Hockinson.
You know that is you used to play for the lines,
Hey that guy? Yeah, yeah, he's pretty good. It used
to be pretty good.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
So TJ.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Hockinson has been rehabbing a devastating injury and he has
leg shredded with a low hit, and now he is
looking to have big brother, the NFL step in. He
didn't go as far as to say as to outlaw
the low hit, but he implied that that would be

(11:43):
kind of cool, that that would be kind of neat.
That was the implication that was given. So his measured statement, TJ.
Howkinson saying that he would prefer to get a concussion
then get hit on the leg. So the question Viking
ted in TJ. Hawkins, he wants the NFL to outlaw

(12:05):
the low hits.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
What do you make of this? So he's not alone?
I mean, this happens a lot.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
In a couple times a year, we'll get somebody coming
out on the bully pulpit and ranting and ravings saying.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well, you need this kicked out of football. We could
not live in a football.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
World where this happens, right, And I do believe that
eventually this is going to happen. Like we continue, I
go by the boiling frog, the NFL continues to crank
up the heat little by little, and eventually we'll get
to the point where this quietly, the NFL will outlaw
the low hit. Seems like an impossibility to have tackle

(12:42):
football and not have the low hit, but it's inevitable.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
It's going to happen. The NFL has slowly been moving
in that direction.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
And eventually they're going to get a laser printer on Amazon,
maybe Temu, they might go to Timu. They're gonna get
a laser printer and they're going to make a silk
cuckoo and they're going to protect all of the offensive
star players from bodily harm in that laser printer generated
cocoon made of silk. That's what they're going to do now,

(13:10):
further downgrading what has always been sold is a collision sport,
and that further pussu and the shrinkage of the tackling zone.
There is no tackling zone. It doesn't exist. It's the
size of my old friend the penny from Benny versus

(13:31):
the penny.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
As we continue on, if you'd like to be part,
you had a line open for you. You can fill
that up and yell and scream and all that good
stuff if you want. If not, don't worry, you got
plenty of stuff to talk about. Don't need you at all,
but we'd love to have you if you want to
get on the Magic radio box. Also on X at
Ben Mahllor. A lot of people enjoyed hollering James. They
didn't even enjoy hollering James the feedback we're getting here.

(13:56):
They liked how upset Eddie got as Eddie had a down.
I saw Ferg Dog Ferg Dog ranting and raving about
that as he always is. Buy the numbers, we'll get
to buy the numbers, and a little mixed messaging Buy
the numbers and some mixed messaging.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
We'll get to all that, and we will do it next.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
It's Ben Maller, the calls coming up in a little bit,
and the Malie mils a lot to say, as they
usually do.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
The naziense also cite the bite coming up later this hour,
the Great sports Radio Mystery site, the bite before I forget.
I wanted to get to these by the numbers. The
nerds have cooked up the numbers. So John Sterling we
led the show off because management was sleeping with John
Sterling leaving the Yankee broadcast both the longtime voice of

(15:53):
the Yankees, saying bye bye.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
He's quitting mid season. What's going on? Is it a
medical thing? He did an interview on WFN New York,
said he was fine, it was a medical thing. Reached
out to a couple of people. They said he had
efed up a broadcast last week. He screwed up a
couple of calls, and that could have been the reason

(16:18):
that he is stepping away.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
But it's an odd thing. John Stiller's one of those
guys you.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Never thought would would just walk away from broadcasting the
Yankee games. And here's and I give you an idea
how crazy his run was. His voice of the Yankees
from nineteen eighty nine to now, john Sterling called twenty
nine point five percent of all games in Yankee history,

(16:43):
almost thirty percent of all Yankee games. John Sterling was
at the microphone now when the Yankees started, there was
no one doing play by play because radio had not
been invented yet when the Yankees began playing baseball. But
john Sterling does called twenty nine point five of all
Yankee games. That includes forty nine point nine percent we

(17:06):
are told of the postseason games that the Yankees have played.
Of course, keep in mind that the Yankees have played
many more postseason games since expansion when they added more
playoff teams, so therefore they've played more playoff games. Like
Bernie Williams at one point, I don't know if he

(17:26):
still does, he had a number of postseason records because
he had played in more postseason games than Babe Ruth
or any of those players back in the oldness. When
you're the National in the American League, and if you
like the National and American League and you just that's it,
you better enjoy it. Because baseball I keep hearing from
people in baseball they're getting rid of the National and

(17:47):
American League They're gonna put regional rivalry divisions that you'll
have the Yankees and Mets and Red Sox and Phillies
will all be in the same division. You'll have the
Dodgers and the Angels and the Vegas team and the
Giants will all be in the same division. They're gonna
break it up based on geography. That is more likely

(18:13):
than not going to happen. So well, I just I'd
randomly throw that out. Oh why not? Why not throw
that aut Now turning the page on that, Draymond Green
has yet again filled the content machine here for those
of us to do sports talk radio. So Draymond getting
ready for the play in game. That's right, there's a

(18:35):
play in game. A couple of them on the dais.
Tell me you're not joned up for this. I'm planning
my whole day around this unless I'm not. But the
early game, in the early television window, which is I
believe seven thirty eastern, four thirty in the West, Lakers
in the Bayou playing the Pelicans, and the Lakers favored

(18:58):
by a single point in that game, where is the money?

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Where do you think the money is?

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Everyone and their mother are betting on the Lakers, although
Coop did point out the Lakers are better off losing
this game to avoid having to play the Denver Nuggets,
who will put them in a wood chipper in the
first round. But everyone's been on the Lakers, which usually happens.
And then the Lakers went from a one point underdog
to a one point favorite. And the other game, which
is the game. Why the reason I brought this up

(19:26):
is because of something that was said about this game
the Warriors, the Battle of Northern California, the Warriors and
the Kings, and the Kings open to one point favorite.
In that game, Golden State is up to a three
and a half point favorite, and over ninety percent of
the action Jackson is coming in on the Golden State Wars.
So with that is the backdrop my favorite podcaster who

(19:50):
moonlights as a basketball player, Draymond Green. He went a
little rant about the fact that the once mighty Golden
State Warriors are now in this fugese play. In turn,
wh's been around for a few years, and Draymond to
say that he.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Sent mixed messages I believe would be an understatement. I
believe that would be an understatement.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
So Draymond Green said he isn't happy with the fact
that the Warriors need to win a game to get
in right the play in tournament, I'll have to reach
the postseason, asked, real playoffs, it says weird twilight zone,
and it's not the regular season, it's not the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
It's in between. It's in between.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
So here's the quote from his Fledgling podcast. Draymond Green said, quote,
I hate the play in Just so you all know. Well,
thank god, because I was up all night I could
I could not go to bed. I was worried about
Draymond Green and his thoughts on the plane. Yeah, he said,
I hate the playing Just so y'all know. I absolutely
hate it, he said, and then he added quote it's

(20:50):
the best thing ever created. Say why yes, So in
one sentence, Raymond Green says he hates the plan. He
then said it's the best thing ever created. We know
the term best, the legal definition of the term best
in advertising is as good as all the rest. That's
why every restaurant can have the best turkey sandwich, the

(21:11):
best pastrami sandwich, because the lawyers, the Weasley lawyers, have
determined the term best means as good as all the rest.
So Draymond when he says the best thing ever created
for basketball, it is as good as all the rest.
He said, if you look at the play in and
what it's done for basketball, the best thing ever creating timeout?

(21:34):
Does anyone else think that other than Adam Silver and
his minions that follow him around onto the spaceship that
he lives on, does anyone else think that this is
the greatest thing ever, the best thing ever? Come on,
It's the dumbest thing you could possibly come up with.
It is so ridiculous. If I could go back in
the hot top time machine years ago and say, let

(21:55):
me tell you twenty years from now, the NBA is
going to play eighty two games, which is, by the way,
a play in tournament, you dummies, And then after eighty
two games to decide who qualifies the top eight teams
getting the bus. Then we're going to allow a couple
of other teams that weren't good enough over the eighty
two games to get in. We'll give them a second chance. Like,

(22:19):
in what world is this a good idea?

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Now? Am I gonna watch? Yes? I have four hours
to fill.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
I have four hours of talk radio to fill, So yes,
I have a blank camps.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
I will watch.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Am I gonna enjoy it? No, Am I gonna turn
on a random baseball game. Probably will, I'll probably double dipping.
I'll have some baseball game on.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
I'm gonna do it. I know I'm a rebel. I
know you're impressed. I am a rebel. It's gonna happen.

Everyone's famous on TikTok So. This guy, the way the
story was passed on, he decided, Hey, I'm gonna not
train for the Boston Marathon, but I'm going to run
the Boston Marathon. He's twenty seven years old, right, twenty

(26:27):
seven years old, and he was documenting this on the
TikTok So. He's gonna run twenty six point two miles
and all that. And he's a motivational speaker. Isn't everyone
a motivational speaker in one way or another?

Speaker 5 (26:43):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
I feel pretty motivational.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, Lorraine over there, did you get that guy from
Postmates fired?

Speaker 2 (26:54):
By the way, No, you sure what happens if you
give the wrong order. I don't. I've never been on
that of the food game. Yeah. Never man, you're just
the person buying the food.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
And I don't even usually use Postmates.

Speaker 5 (27:06):
Well, we know what happened when Justin had the wrong delivery.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, justin that way. He can't really, it can't.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
It's a tough one to get out, you know, Justin
and Cincinnati, Lorena, Yeah, I've heard of him. Yeah, so
he's He worked briefly at was it a morg or
something like that. He worked at a funeral home in Cincinnati,
and he was assigned to pick up bodies from the
hospital and people croaked, you know, and he went to
pick up a body and drop it off where it
needed to be dropped off, and he was was was

(27:38):
Eddie was supposed to pick up all a white guy?

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Was that it Eddie?

Speaker 5 (27:42):
Uh, well it was let's just say whatever it was
he was supposed to get, he got a different guy.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
As a black guy's bodies showed up. That's a tough
one to explain when you picked the wrong body up. Yeah,
you can't deliver the wrong body to the wrong funeral But.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
I can tell you. I relate a little bit. I
wouldn't want it. You know.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
It's a tough thing to do, right, job though, I know,
but you don't want to check.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
You just assume.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
It's like making sure the sauce is in the bag
for the nuggets.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
You know, it's very similar, that is.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah, cadaver sauce and honey mustard, some tomato.

Speaker 5 (28:16):
Tomato.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, that's true. Did you get any Now, you didn't
get fries, did you? Did you get fries?

Speaker 3 (28:22):
No?

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Just potatoes.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Yeah, because the greatest is when there's those fries at
the bottom of the bag. Those are like the coolest thing
I got. I'm getting carried away a right.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
You sound hungry, Ben, Yeah, you think. All right.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
So this guy Davis Clark, all right, get stay with it,
get focus stupid all right. So this guy's like a
TikTok person. I guess I don't know everyone's a TikTok person.
So he went viral at the Boston Marathon in a
post race video Guys twenty seven years old, and he
filmed himself after completing the twenty six point two mile event,

(28:56):
and he said, hey, I'm locked in and all that stuff.
He has said that he had not trained at all
before the race. And the reason this guy went viral
is it appears that he had soiled his pants. At
the end of the rest. There was poop in the

(29:16):
air everywhere. It was sometimes you've got to eat a
poop sandwich. It was a manure situation. Now I do
relate to this. I've not done that while doing a marathon.
But as many of you know, if you listen to
my podcast, the most downloaded episode without a guest on
the in the history of the Fifth Hour podcast was
the story I told during COVID when I had short

(29:37):
Shortly before that, I had my gallbladder taken out, which
means that you kind of have to be close to
a bathroom at all times when you when you're eating
a big meal. And I was on a walk. I
thought I could make it. I didn't make it, and
there was a big there's a big problem, and I
told you so. I do relate a little bit, but
I don't believe the guy's story that he did he

(30:00):
had not trained for the Boston Marathon and ran it
in less than three hours. I don't believe that part
of it. And I also unless there's some kind of loophole.
I don't know about my brother. His mission goes. My
older brother actually has run the New York Marathon, like
I don't know, fifteen times or some ridiculous thing like that.
He's the black sheep of the family because he's in
good shape and so he's run the marathon. But you

(30:21):
have to qualify for the New York Marathon. They don't
just allow you to run the New York broth. I
would assume the same thing applies to the Boston Marathon.
You have to actually qualify for the Boston Marathon.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
No, I mean, what's the worst that can happen? If
you don't? You pass out, you die, you chop dead.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Now, the greatest, one of the great scandals of all
time happened at the Boston Marathon.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Do you know what that is? Quick?

Speaker 1 (30:48):
I bet Koop knows, uhs Rosie Ruiz. Yes, this chick,
all right, this woman she cheated at the Boston Marathon.
She got on the subway train and finished the race
ahead of everyone else, third fastest time for a female
ever recorded in the history of the Boston Marathon. And

(31:09):
she cheated to do it. She was the Altuve of
her day. She was the Alto aver Day. It's wonderful.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
They that's impressive.

Speaker 6 (31:17):
You know.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
They say to work smarter and not harder, and I
feel like she really showed that she did.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
She definitely worked smarter, not harder. But they made movies
about her and all that she died. It seems like
a legend. A legend. Well, yeah, we're still tired. But
she's been dead for five years. We're still talking about her.
When I went to Boston, it was during the weekend
of the Boston Marathon, and it is a big deal
out there.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Oh yeah, the Patriots Patriots Day also play the Red
Sox game. Early Blake and Arkansas writes, Since says, do
you know JJ McCarthy's longest pass was fifty four yards?
You and I could do that. I don't get it good?
Sure first round? What the f negative Berg Dog says?
If you're no longer welcome at Dodgers Stadium, why not

(32:04):
stop by the house that the Cowboy build that's already's
made even better? Artie Marino Ak, the Big A, the
Halo Hawks will welcome you. Something to do.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
I bet you wouldn't have done anything like this if
mom and dad were here.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yeah, Freddy's upset with the rules, He says, I think
the NFL will switch to flag football.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
He's going with the flag football line.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
There a lot of reactions still the hollering James and
his contribution. He says, maybe the Vikings are saving their
wide receiver money to spend on hollering. James favorite Leo
lewis pretty solid, pretty solid.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Josh says. There was a DJ named.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Lunchbox who works on the Bobby Bone Show, who ran
the marathon without training, who did it as a bit
ten years ago. I understand, but I thought, I'm pretty
sure that these big marathons you have to qualify. They
don't just unless you ran it on your own without
one those little name tags, those number tags. But my note,

(33:03):
I've talked to my brother about this because I've woned
like I've thought I could walk like the We have
the LA Marathon, which somebody cares about here in LA,
but I thought I could.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Do it one of these years.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
And you have to qualify, which means you have to
pay money. Is it's some money making endeavor?
