Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we go into the night on Fox
(00:02):
Sports Radio, coming to you live from the tire rack
dot Com studios. Tire rack dot Com will help you
get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free roadhazard protection.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Tire rack dot Com the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I did see that truck or Joe sent us the
tweet where you had a group that had launched a
rocket and they kind of lost it.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It did the whistle, it was.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Gone, and then I guess it had landed right next
to a group that was taping a dude that was
lighting a firework at the same time. I mean, it
looked like an actual air strike. But it's time to stop.
People's Fourth of July's over. It's a week you can
quit light off your fireworks. That's me as an old
man standing on my porch and telling you to stand down.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Stand down now.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I don't know if Holler and James was getting more
in depth on anything involving court storming or fights in
the crowds, but if you missed any of that, Eddie
and I kicked off the show talking about the all
in the stands after the Uruguay Columbia match.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
So as it lit up the phone line tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I will just add this, I've never had more soccer
crammed out in my throat than I have this last week, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And I usually push back against that assertion and people say, oh,
I'm tired of them cramming it down my throat. Well
don't watch turn the channel right to go to a
different Twitter feed. But I can't get away from any
of it.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Everywhere I turn there's a breakdown on Team USA's new
coach or who should their new coach be? I mean,
I just I guess I'm opening hour number two here
with an apology because I can't get into the international
soccer Eddie.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I just can't do it. Man, It's not my thing.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
It's not my thing.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I mean, I can't. I feel like I can't avoid it.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
No, I mean I am a little surprised you said
this the most ever, Like even during like World Cup times.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
They feel like for well, okay, And maybe part of
this is dramatic and prisoner of the moment because we
still have, you know, two hours and fifty seven minutes
of airtime tonight, so there might be some melodramatics to this, Eddie,
Let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
But I just I feel like it's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I feel like with the two different tournaments that are
going on, I feel like I'm getting a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You have the brawl in the stands that took place.
Now you have Team USA changing its coach.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I just I say this as I'm watching two shows
that are breaking down the WNBA and and Edwards comments
with Team USA right now. So maybe I'm imploding my
own argument at this exact second, but I just feel
like I can't get away from it. If I'm trying
to get away from soccer talk, I feel like it
hits me regardless of where I am.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
All right, well, maybe it has something to do with
you know, the European Tournament is kind of going on
like during the day, Yeah, I believe. And then you've
got the Copa America which is here in the evening,
so you've got maybe that's part of it. I don't
know all the timing.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
In other words, it's all day long. I can't get
away from it because it's always on. Now I'm gonna
go out on a limb, much like we did an
hour one. I'm going to assume, Eddie Garcia, the breaking
down either the COPA or the European attorneys that are
going on right now not a major topic here on
the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Is that a fair assessment?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Oh? That's very fair?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, okay, well, I shall quickly move on into a
little bit of football, shall we?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
College football? All right?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Eddie Garcia, are you ready for another dose of conference
realignment talk?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Or have you had your fill over the last I
don't know decade. You want some more?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I can't say that I want some more, but I'm
going to have to eat it, whether it's like you know,
it was like vegetables when I was a kid. I
didn't want it, but I was going to have to
eat it. So you don't really have a choice right now.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Because welcome to one of the checkpoints on the road
towards the start of.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
The college football season.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
We are in the middle of media days and Big
twelve had its media day the last two days. By
the way, the Pac twelve had it to media day tonight,
and I think they might have already won media days.
More on that coming up in a bit. But during
Big twelve Media Days, Ross Dellinger was doing a podcast
slash interview with John Kirch. John Kurtz is a Big
(04:06):
twelve reporter works out of Kansas, and Dellinger said he
believed Florida State and Clemson officials have engaged in preliminary
talks with the Big Twelve regarding joining the conference after
the school leaves the ACC now in conjunction and coordination,
if you will with this statement today this report, I
(04:29):
guess the FSU Board of Trustees scheduled a meeting for
July twenty second, the same day that Florida State is
going to be at ACC media Days. Here were the
three preferences that Ross Dellinger said both Florida State and
Clemson had now sidebar Eddie. If we're talking about them
in conjunction like this, would you believe that a Florida
(04:50):
State and a Clemson would be attached at the hip
for their next potential conference Or do you think that
if say, the Big Ten ons Clemson and won't take
Florida State. I don't think that's gonna stop Clemson from
going to the Big Ten, do you no?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's it's all it's all all all men from themselves
or something like that all all hands, every man, thank you,
thank you for cleaning.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
As the great Chris Rock once said.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
And I don't know if I agree with this, but
a man is only as faithful as his options.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yes, yes, right.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
So from this perspective, Florida State and Clemson it can
come out and say, well, here's their preferences. But I
don't think by any means there's some sort of team deal.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
They're joined at the hip until they don't need each
other anymore, and then they're going to do whatever they
they want.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And by the way, these three options are hilarious to
me because they're the only three options that are out there.
A spot in the ac SEC or Big ten is
number one. A reformed ACC with fewer teams splitting revenue
is number two, and then third is joining the Big twelve.
And I gotta funny, say, here's their three uh, here's
their three preferences.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And I'm thinking to myself, three preferences, that's the only option.
Shuit just gott man.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It's like me saying, you know, my thought was to
do a radio show tonight, go to bed or stay
up all night. I mean that those are my three preferences.
They're all three things that are like the only options
I have. This is the only options that you have, Clemson,
Florida State. But according to reports tonight, the Big Twelve
(06:25):
has been very.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Active and I'm trying to think of the best way
to word this.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
How you'll have a coach.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Administrator, athletic director in any walk of life where they
want to plan a story, kind of get some seeds
going and see what the reaction is.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Like.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I think the NFL is really good at this. I
think that the NFL does a good job of like
test marketing stories and ideas and maybe even try to
shape the way that you think about things Like I
think they floated what Christmas Day games on a Wednesday.
I think that's start to get floated right around Super
Bowl week, right where you're like, hey, is there a
(07:03):
possibility we could play games on Christmas again?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
With the great ratings?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I feel like that the Big Twelve in that line
of planning stories, Eddie, I feel like they're being very
outspoken and active about capital investment. They're being very outspoken
about hey, we want Florida State, we want Clemson. I
don't know how you feel about this, and I'm a prideful
Big Twelve A lum, I guess you could say. And
I take a lot of pride in what that conference
(07:27):
has been able to do and what they're doing now.
But I don't know if I'm a Florida State or
a Clemson fan, if a move like that makes me
feel better about things than say an ACC membership does
right now, would it for you?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
It seems like a lateral move to me. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I think I would. It's tough. And the thing is,
I can't get too you know, excited. I don't know
if excited as this the world. I can't get too
emotional or one way or the other about these moves
because I just know it's not This isn't the end
of it. I mean, I don't know what the end
game is, but we're going to I have no doubt
that this is just part of the ongoing journey. That
(08:10):
is what college football is turning into, right, I mean,
at some point, are we going to see the SEC
in the Big Ten just break away and form their
own mega conference? And you know, do they add any
other teams? And it's not over and I don't know
where it ends. So it just like this is just
the latest move, but who knows where it goes from here.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
There was Brett or Mark earlier on Weesday talking about
the Big Twelve.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
We are truly a national conference in ten states, four.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Time zones, and all eyes are now on the Big
Twelve for all the right reasons, and I think it's
safe to say we.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Are more relevant now than ever before.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Now again, I would like to thank whoever recorded that
in an aircraft hangar. Yes, yes, yes, I mean kudos
by the way to our crew on the Fox Sports
radio audio. But that one was a little bit rough,
first of all, incorrect. Love you, Brett, you or Mark,
but you're you're not more relevant than you've ever been before,
but you also understand what's going on here. Clemson and
(09:15):
Florida State are looking to get out of the ACC
and neither have a slam dunk invite from the SEC
or the Big Ten right now. Your Mark also said,
I won't stop until we're the best conference, and we'll see.
But Eddie, I feel like you made the best point,
and you typically do. Because let's pull back even further.
What's the ultimate goal? What does this all come down to?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Right? What what is the end game?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
In all of this because I'm I'm not so sure
that it isn't more NFL, Like, I don't know if
that number can't be thirty two.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
But you know, you combine the Big.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Ten and the SEC and if the ACC or Big
twelve can survive those heavy hitters that maybe you know
have no problem with the twenty million dollars salary cap
and rev sharing, I feel like we're reaching a point
where we're just going to have this separate division for football,
and I don't even want to begin to think about
what that would look like. I mean, would you even
(10:09):
need be to even need to be a student of
a damn school to be on a team? That's how
professional it seems like it's coming. But I'm like you, Eddie,
tell me the endgame. I love college football. I'm going
to watch and we're going to talk about games on
the field coming up over the next months as we
lead up to the start of the college football season.
But for now, with Big twelve media days in the back,
(10:31):
SEC media days coming up, I feel like conference realignment
is a never ending conversation.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
And Eddie, I'm like you, I don't know what the
end game is.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I don't know what the final chapter of this is
even going to look like, or if we'll ever reach
a final chapter.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
And I'm in a weird position too, because I love
college football and you know, I enjoy, you know, the
major conferences. I have family in Alabama. I grew up
an Alabama fan, believe it or not, because of all
the family that I had there, and they were all
Crimson tied crazy, and so that was kind of how
I was raised, was that, you know, this is your team.
(11:07):
But then being an alum of a you know, mid
major program, which I don't even know how that's I mean,
you know, it's it's crazy enough just talking about the
big programs and big conferences, Like as someone who I
have no idea what this endgame is for a program
like Fresno State or any of those kind of programs, Like,
are we going to be in an entirely different, you know,
(11:29):
level of competition? And though you know, at least, I mean,
I understand that there's a large separation as it is,
but you're still sort of a part of it, you
know what I mean. We still play you know, some
major conference teams, But in the end, is it gonna
be okay? We're gonna be completely separate from these other conferences.
(11:50):
We're gonna have our own national championship. I mean, I
don't even know where that's good. I don't know. Most
people I don't want to see. Most people don't care.
But I understand why the focus is where it is.
But I, you know, just for me, I don't even
know how do we even fit in in the landscape
of college football anymore? Is there even a place for
a program like that?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
So?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I mean, I love college football, I love watching whatever
the big two or three games of the week is regardless,
but then I have my own personal investment in it,
and I'm like, am I still even a part of
this anymore? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Can we truly play for a title?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
You know?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Can we be a team that just in budgetary I
guess you could say constraints where you're always gonna be overmatched.
I think that's the reality. Grew I went to a
mid major school. I went to the University of Tulsa.
Now I don't know if they really claim me or not,
but that's where I went, and I would always be
rooting for the little guy.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Hey give them a shot.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
The de is Ever, now we weren't always all that
great football, Eddie, But I remember and you guys had
some bangers.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Man.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I was in college whenever David Carr was it Fresno,
and they brought that team to Tulsan kicked the snot
out of us. But the bottom line is, you know,
are you gonna be knocking on the national door once
every eight or nine years when you get that special
class or could that twelve team playoff eventually sixteen team
(13:07):
playoff help open the door and make some of these
conference alignments less important for the mid majors.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I tend to think we're kind of screwed. Didn't think
our beloved Alma Maters are kind of screwled. But I'm
also a fan of the second tournament. It's not an
n it's a group of five or group of six
championship and you have that title. It's just we have
to accept there's different levels and always will be.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
To this.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You want to quick Tulsa Fresno State Eddie Garcia's story,
I'm down so back in two thousand and five, out
of the goodness of their heart, the powers would be
at Fox Sports Radio sent me to the AutoZone Liberty
Bowl because AutoZone was a major sponsor at the time, right,
and Fresno State was playing Tulsa and they sent me
(13:56):
to cover it basically kind of to you know, we're
mooting AutoZone, but also they knew I was Fresno State
and they were nice enough to send me there and
pay for it, which was amazing. And Tulsabita so I
was not having there. Yeah, So I'm in the press
box at the Liberty were you were you in the
press box?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I was a fan. I went with my ex wife
and her fan, so they did.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
They did send me under the guise of being a reporter.
And and this was back when we used to have
stringers for games. So I was a stringer for the game.
And I'm in the press box at the Liberty Bawl
and it's completely enclosed. It's not open at all, and
so it's you know, there's no you're not getting really
any outside crowd noise. You get a little bit of it,
(14:38):
but not that much. And here I am on a
phone giving scores. You know, we're in the forest first
corner at the Liberty Ball and everyone's looking at me.
Everyone is looking and I got to do this all
game log and then it was so self conscious of
you know, it's one thing to do it when you're
in a studio and there's nobody else, but we've got
(15:00):
like all these people looking over like, who the hell's
what's going? What is this guy doing?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And it's usually quiet, so they're not used to it.
And there's where you can go in that in that
press box.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
You can't go high.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
You know. Nowadays you well, I don't know if you're
on a cell phone, they probably had you a landline. Yeah,
see there you go. Nowadays you can go and yourself.
You can take your cell phone out. Yeah you're gonna
stepped in the hallway or something. You want me to
give you the craziness of that two thousand and five
Liberty Bowl. We went on a week long trip that
included going to that game, and Eddie, you want an
(15:32):
idea of how long ago that was. I remember having
to carry my son around, who I had taken to
the game. It was our first major trip with my son,
Will and we carried it around and all and it
was a place where a bunch of people is the
first time where a lot of people that went to
TU kind of came together. We I'm not saying we
were all in a great place, but everyone was making
enough money where they could at least afford a trip
(15:53):
to Memphis. For goodness sakes, we all went. It was
a blast. Well, my son who I was carrying around,
who was very very young at that game, is now
starting his second third, third year of college, going into
his junior year of college, which also I think was
the last time that my beloved University of Tulsa went
to what people could probably call a major bowl as well.
(16:14):
So yeah, Memphis do was a good party, Eddie, Memphis
was a good party.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Highly suggested. Did you enjoy the fact.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I know you're not as big of a wrestling guy
as like Mike Harmon and myself, but they even have
the with the Mid South Wrestling arena that's right there
in like the parking lot of the Liberty Bowl.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It's amazing. I missed that well.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
As we're coming to you live tonight from the TIRAQ
dot Com Studios. That's Eddie Garcia. I'm Chris Plank sitting
in for Ben Mallor. I want to talk about make
or break seasons for I've got four NFL players and
or coaches that have a make or break season with
their current team.

winning Polly and Tony Foodsco Show.
Speaker 3 (17:13):

Speaker 6 (17:13):
But instead of us telling you how great we are,
here's how Dan Fatrick described us when he came on
our show.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
We were interrupting our promo.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Shut up.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Folly and Tony Fousco
Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts O wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Yee.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
The great silent majority of listeners to The Ben Mallor
Show sit in the sidelines, never having their opinions heard.
You're invited to break the glass ceiling by taking up
gigabytes with the Ben Mallor show. Just follow your host
on x in for Ben Maller, It's Chris Plank. He's
at Plank Show and you could post at and follow
our executive producer. He is manning the phones, but he's
more than just a call screener. He is the liar,
(18:06):
liar and the menace of the Fox Sports Radio network.
It's the Coop the Loop Justin Cooper and he's at
u H Bronco Fan Octopussy and o I from the
tirerac dot Com. Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Chris Blank.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I know where it's like Radio Cardinal Sin to ask
about something like from shows past. I think it's like
breaking in on a fly balls and Outfielder. It's like, hey,
it's a past. But was no getting attacked by cats
during his fill in last night?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
No, but he was speaking in glowing terms of a
pair of cats that he and his significant other were
cat sitting for several weeks. Uh, interesting situation.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, you know we I'm allergic to cats, Eddie. This
kind of shows you where I register with my family
Infra Bin Maller, I'm Chrisplank. That's Eddie Garcia's sports radio.
I'm allergic to cats, like deathly allergic to cats. We
have a cat, so and I'm telling you right now,
my whole family loves the cat more than it loves me.
(19:11):
But it clearly it had to stay in my studio
when we first got it.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Did I did?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I remind you that I'm allergic to cats, so it
had to stay in my studio, which is a detached garage.
It's a fancy way to talk about where I do
the show from. It's my studio.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
What Eddie's merely on RV garage. They love the cat, right,
and you're allergic and the cat had to stay in
your studio? Yeah, I got injured by one of our
dogs to keep it away from the dog to nurse
it back to health, right, And it was I'm not
gonna lie to you. We developed a relationship. But here's
(19:44):
the thing. And I saw that from Brian No and
it got me thinking a little bit. Cats are like jerks.
They're a holes. They don't care if you're talking or
doing a show.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I was.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I was filling with my Carmen one time and like, oh, Mike,
I got that cut, let me play it. And as
I went to play, the cat jumped down on my
keyboard and cat on the keyboard right, And.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
It wasn't an excuse, It really happened house.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I hate cats, Go ahead, lorrain to preach.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Absolutely hate cats. I used to love cats. I used
to see myself as a cat.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
What was the dramatic incident that caused you.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Dudes, I have been sprayed by multiple cats.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Oh sprayed?
Speaker 7 (20:19):
Yes, that is butt juice, not not understand spray.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Well, apparently they just don't like you.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
They really like me. Okay.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
So, most recently, there was a neighborhood feral cat who
is in my neighborhood and he looks so scroungy. I
wanted to feed him. I wanted to save his life, right,
like most most things that need help. So I put
out a can of tuna, and I put out a
bull of water and he loved it. He was like, oh,
you're my new best.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Friend, always coming around.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
Oh yeah, no, he loves me now. And then he
used my leg as a scratching post to say thank you,
which wow, not nice, right, I was like, you jerk.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I go inside.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
He hops up on the roof of my house and
he points his butt right across my walkway and he
sprays from the top of the roof of my house,
across the walkway, all the way across my bushes and
my foliage and my pathway.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
With his bud juice. Well, this is a feral cat.
That was the keyword there. Yeah, what does that matter.
It's a cat. It doesn't matter. A stray dog could
kill you. No, Yeah, you're talking about a wild animal.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I'm here for this.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, what's your fifth is a wild animal? By the way, No,
out of context. Just to be clear, she's talking about
a feral cat and the things around her house.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Okay, we don't. We don't need our minds in the
gutters here at this time.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
So I do.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Lorena, you were exaggerating when you said the cat sprayed
on you. It didn't spray on you. It sprayed on you.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
No.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
But when I was little, my my my grandpa had
a cat, and I was in the computer room and
he was doing his little thing where the know they
rub against your leg like, and then all of a sudden,
and then all of a sudden, I feel this warmth
on my leg and I looked down and this guy's
got his tail straight up in the air and it's
shaken like, and this juice just coming out of the
(22:17):
backside and it hits my leg.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I know what it is.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
Okay, I have been sprayed.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Context mark.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
First off, all of these if we only had drops still.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Right, Fortually, she's in charge of them, so you can
pretty much do what she wants.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Well, I have two female cats, and so that's not
that's not a problem.
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Yeah, maybe it's just male cats I don't want.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Oh is that what it is?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I'm like, I don't have that problem. But then again,
I'm trying to avoid this cat.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
And yeah, male cats are the ones that spray really
and but then that's only it's only some of that
because I also, you know, when I was when I
was a teenager, I had a male cat and he
lived for five years.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
He never did that, so interesting. Maybe he didn't like you.
I saw you. I didn't know, if you know, was
battling up against the cats.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I mean, that could be a tough one during the
show for those of us in mobile studios either.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Did you see the picture that he put out of
the cats. Oh yeah, yeah, they were like in jail
or he was in jail. There was like, uh, you know,
iron bars in between him, so it looked like they
really wanted to hang out with him. But did he
put that on X? Yeah he did. Yeah, Brian's very sneaky.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
He doesn't use Twitter a lot, but uh when he does,
I'm always like, oh that's pretty cool, like tweet more.
But uh, yeah, congrats you made it through a show
without a cat ruining it, which is inevitable whenever it
comes to this program. My cat just walks around at night.
I don't know what it does we've got I'm not kidding,
don't know if it's got.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
It just walks around at night. I don't think it sleeps.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I'll wake up and it'll be coming in from outside
like more you know that old Disney or Not Dead
Bugs Bunny with with the the dog that would check
into work and there was Wiley coyote that was checking
in for work. That's like my cat. We're passing in
the night. He's like, oh morning, I'm gonna go take.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
A nap and sleep all day long. Cats the absolute Worst.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Can we read our w n B A tweet for
the show tonight that we got?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Is it from Chris and des Moines. It is, Yeah,
what'd you think of that? It's we can see it here.
I didn't see it, but I know he's a big
fan of the WNBA. Let's let's say maybe I did
see it. Listen, all right, here it is, No, I
didn't see it. Okay, actually this is from the Milkman.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
All right, I did see that one. Yeah, I did
anologize he rights.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Could we consider with the woke movement that they are
trying to make the Clark Reese feud in the w
n B a the modern day version of Bird and Johnson.
It's always there at the top of the sports need
of the sports updates, Like, if we talk enough about it,
people will love it.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Can we be manipulated by by that? You think? Are
we that? I think we can?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I think we can.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I keep waiting for it. There's gotta be a think
piece somewhere. It's gotta be coming. How the Clark hey
Reese couldn't even remember a name. This is some solid
insight here when I can't remember Angel Reese's last name.
How the Clark Reese feud will take the w NBA
to levels it's never seen before. Well, you know, it's
(25:22):
a level it hasn't seen before. Profitability, that's it. That's
a pretty impressive level.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
It's also accurate. Yeah, you're right. I mean, I look,
I don't think it's There are a lot of things
in sports sometimes we'll stretch. I don't think that's too crazy, really.
I mean, they were legitimate rivals in college and they
are two star rookies now and I can see the connection.
I don't think it's completely ridiculous to go there.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
You know what's kind of funny, though, is everyone will
get mad whenever you fire back.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
It's like, oh, do you have a.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Problem with either women's sports WNBA getting this platform?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
My response is always no.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
But I feel like my frustration is where it's almost
as if I'm talked at about how important.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
This better be to me?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Right? This better you better be paying attention to I'm like, whoa, wha,
hold up here, what do you mean I better be
or I should be. It's not like we're willfully saying
I am going to shut you out. It's it's topical
in my world when it comes up. But to Milkman's text,
I mean, I I've never been I've never been talked
(26:34):
at more talked at, not talked with, not talked about,
not talked talked at more than I feel like I'm
talked at about how the WNBA should be covered.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Or talked about. That's it.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
It's just you better be doing this.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I'm like, well, no, I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I'm gonna follow it.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
But I don't feel like I need to come in
with some scorching hot take on everything that happens in
the WNBA, nor do I need to hold it in
some sense of like royal right now.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
No, I'm one hundred percent with you. I I, as
I said before, I really don't understand why now. And
you know, you could talk about Kaylen Clark, and again,
I'm not saying she isn't a very good player, and
I understand the appeal of her, I guess, but there's
been plenty of good players that have played college basketball
and then gone on to the WNBA. And I don't
(27:22):
know that she's She's not Tiger Woods, you know what
I mean. She's a very good player, but I don't
I don't get why her and now is the combination
of enlightenment for everyone. I just don't. I don't get
it at all. I mean there are some things you
could if there were some certain circumstances, I could understand it.
But you know, it's not like she's coming in and
(27:43):
scoring forty at night or something crazy where you're like,
you just have to pay attention because nobody's done this before.
Speaker 8 (27:48):
That.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I could get that. I could understand that. I could
also understand if she was this amazing personality that you know,
it's very witty and funny and just says controversial things
and you just got to pay attention.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
She's not that.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
She's not there. And I'll even go here. She's not
the Anna Kornakova of the w NBA where you know,
if she were, you know, if she were like the
Paulina Gretzky, but she can hoop. Yeah, like I could.
I could see, you know, big men wanted to pay
attention to that, and that's the reality of it. But
she's not that either, to be honest, So I don't
(28:24):
get it. I don't I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
I know we got the lines jammed up.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I'm gonna get right to him at eighty seven seven
ninety nine on Foxy My Oklahoma. People stepping up. But
let me let me just add this It's one of
the most fascinating popularity explosions I think ever because of
what Eddie just I, books will be written, studies will
be done there. Just what was it? Because you know,
again Tiger Woods and what he did at golf, you
(28:50):
could understand that explosion, right, I mean, let's face it,
he was doing things that people with with I mean,
we had not seen someone would tiger Woods culture is background,
his skin color have this kind of success in this sport.
It was incredibly I think magnetizing. It brought everyone to it, right.
(29:11):
I think you can look back at different stories with
successes that people have had in baseball or basketball where
they McGuire and so sir, right, we had never seen
anyone hit home runs like that before, and it brought
every one of the game. Football wise, we haven't seen
dominance like we saw from Brady. This is just someone
that shoots the ball well, right, and that's not knocking her.
She's a good basketball player. It's just wild Eddie and
(29:33):
all of the things we laid out how this thing
has become an absolute rocket ship for Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
I'm with you. I'm kind of glad we're on the
same page. I guess it would be No, we're on
the same maybe'd be a better show if we're yelling
at each other.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
How dare you you are being sexist?
Speaker 3 (29:50):
All right?

Gos Youngratulations, that's great man. Clairemore as far as towns.

your name mentioned a lot that tournament down there. They
all found out if and Fox Sports talk to himself,
you know, forwenty one years, and your name was really
highly talked about. They say they like your show because
I've mentioned people don't know, and they just.

They like your show. Down the way.
Speaker 9 (32:05):
Now you're we have another company.
Speaker 3 (32:07):

Speaker 9 (32:16):
Okay, we'll listen, let's go to college.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
But oh no, oh no, Sir scratch Off was ready
to get through the guts of his call. Sorry, buddy,
way to fight there, Sir scratch Off.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Do you know what's interesting is it's funny I have
people that will say nice things about me like that,
and yet my family.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Can't stand me. I don't know what this is.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Uh. Jed who Fled is next up on Fox Sports Radio,
Good Morning, Jed.
Speaker 8 (32:46):
People out there doubting God's existence exactly one scots off
call getting cut off? All right, So what's going on
is he was lying? He was lying and tyl I ring.
Speaker 9 (32:56):
For a living.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
I don't I do just a run he's ring except
the lives far now.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
I'm not sure saying that that Lorrainer either. But if
she keeps telling these cats, these these cats toes like that,
I'm gonna teach out something about soccer, just like my
buddies whose girlfriend recently was trying to get out the kitchen.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
She's doing that.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
I'm to soccer in the mouth, okay, right here in America,
and that, Hey, I'm trying to I don't know a.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
Good deal whatever.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
The favor response is just no, and so died it
hear that's issues. They got other options due They could
go back to being an all female school. We could
play lingerie football. We could drop that buddy, since tiny dude,
we got other options.
Speaker 9 (33:36):
Come on, which going was.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Thanks for the call.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I think we're good there tonight I think we've uh
talking about socking a partner in the face because they
were trying to, as I think you put it, get
out of the kitchen. And then how Florida State should
go back to an all girls school.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
I think we're good. I think I think we've reached them.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Is the Lingerie Football League still in existence? I haven't thought.
I haven't thought about that or about that is. But
it's it's called something else now.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
I think that was a thing.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yes, oh yeah, oh yeah, it was a thing.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Really, it's called X League now. Of course that's what
it is because the rebranding is going to change everything.
Speaker 7 (34:19):
Yeah, hold on, I want to get I know there
was a basketball game that's got a lot of big
booties in it that.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
This is literally lingerie rolls in lingdrier lingerie playing football.
Speaker 7 (34:32):
They are they okay, they're not.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
It's it's like Arena league.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Yeah, okay, they were like hockey elements. Coop is on
doing interesting.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
We are two hundred and ninety six days away from
the debut of the X League. Oh the debut, Yeah,
it has so. I guess it's taken a little bit
of time off some of the shots that they have,
like with the crowd. I got you can go to
X League. Dive right, crack that block is I mean
(35:01):
everything here, this is let's They don't even have a
schedule yet. They don't even have a way. Well, no,
they don't have a way that you can buy tickets.
They have a contact and that's about it. Seven on
seven hybrid format of tackle meets flag competing at a
rain at arenas and stadiums nationally on a seventy yard field.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Darn, I'm shocked. It's not six on nine.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I see what you do, Arena.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
You could try out for the Los Angeles Black Storm.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
You know, I was thinking I might go and try out.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
This might be fun.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I can't find the teams.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
I'm totally down.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Uh, the Atlanta Empire, the Arizona Red Devils, I'd kill
those booty shorts, and the Seattle Thunder is what I'm
seeing here. Huh, look what you did? Jed who fled you?
Let us never know where you're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
All right, Hey, if you're on hold hanging there, I
want to make sure you get plenty of time. I
see you, I see a gunny, I see you warn
I see a leprechaun. Mic I want to make sure
you guys have plenty of time and not try to
squeeze in here under the wire. I was thinking a
lot during the break of the why, not just with
Caitlin Clark, but sometimes with stories like how does this
(36:11):
story become something that we talk about incessantly? And then
why is sometimes a story that I think is not
going to be talked about much it's a huge deal,
and then vice versa, or his Arnie likes to say
vice versa. So I think the Caitlin Clark popularity is
going to be one of the most fascinating studies when
(36:31):
we reach the end, like what was it? What was
it that made her so attracted to fans? It grew
the game the way that it did, or at least
in this spell right now, because there's there's no rhyme
or reason to it. She's just really good at basketball
and it's kind of cool to see it. But I'm
also in that phrase where I don't really know how
(36:51):
much I need to talk about it. I'm just infatuated
with how big of a story it has become. But
as maya man Truck or Joe writes, all right, Plank,
you done talked about soccer w NBA. Now all we
need is an Oklahoma softball update to finish off my
beingo card. Well, I guess Eddie, maybe in a roundabout
(37:12):
way that that's kind of what sir scratch Off was
talking about. He didn't mention softball, so maybe we've reached
our overnight depth chart checklist for you. And my man
Chris points out that he is a cat lover, so
hopefully I can get a hypel aller genetic all allergenic?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Is that the word English?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Thank you, Coop.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I don't want a cat at all. Hypo allergenic cats. Look,
isn't that like Doctor Evil's cat? Now, I've got to
like this cat because my girls like it. My daughter's
liked it, so I've got to like it. Still higher
on the depth chart than me. All Right, when we
come back to the track dot com Studios, I've got
a list. I know Ben pushes back against lists, okay,
and I'm trying to do this in a much different way,
(37:56):
shape or form.
All right, here we go into the night on Fox
(00:02):
Sports Radio, coming to you live from the tire rack
dot Com studios. Tire rack dot Com will help you
get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free roadhazard protection.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Tire rack dot Com the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I did see that truck or Joe sent us the
tweet where you had a group that had launched a
rocket and they kind of lost it.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It did the whistle, it was.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Gone, and then I guess it had landed right next
to a group that was taping a dude that was
lighting a firework at the same time. I mean, it
looked like an actual air strike. But it's time to stop.
People's Fourth of July's over. It's a week you can
quit light off your fireworks. That's me as an old
man standing on my porch and telling you to stand down.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Stand down now.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I don't know if Holler and James was getting more
in depth on anything involving court storming or fights in
the crowds, but if you missed any of that, Eddie
and I kicked off the show talking about the all
in the stands after the Uruguay Columbia match.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
So as it lit up the phone line tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I will just add this, I've never had more soccer
crammed out in my throat than I have this last week, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And I usually push back against that assertion and people say, oh,
I'm tired of them cramming it down my throat. Well
don't watch turn the channel right to go to a
different Twitter feed. But I can't get away from any
of it.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Everywhere I turn there's a breakdown on Team USA's new
coach or who should their new coach be? I mean,
I just I guess I'm opening hour number two here
with an apology because I can't get into the international
soccer Eddie.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I just can't do it. Man, It's not my thing.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
It's not my thing.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I mean, I can't. I feel like I can't avoid it.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
No, I mean I am a little surprised you said
this the most ever, Like even during like World Cup times.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
They feel like for well, okay, And maybe part of
this is dramatic and prisoner of the moment because we
still have, you know, two hours and fifty seven minutes
of airtime tonight, so there might be some melodramatics to this, Eddie,
Let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
But I just I feel like it's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I feel like with the two different tournaments that are
going on, I feel like I'm getting a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You have the brawl in the stands that took place.
Now you have Team USA changing its coach.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I just I say this as I'm watching two shows
that are breaking down the WNBA and and Edwards comments
with Team USA right now. So maybe I'm imploding my
own argument at this exact second, but I just feel
like I can't get away from it. If I'm trying
to get away from soccer talk, I feel like it
hits me regardless of where I am.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
All right, well, maybe it has something to do with
you know, the European Tournament is kind of going on
like during the day, Yeah, I believe. And then you've
got the Copa America which is here in the evening,
so you've got maybe that's part of it. I don't
know all the timing.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
In other words, it's all day long. I can't get
away from it because it's always on. Now I'm gonna
go out on a limb, much like we did an
hour one. I'm going to assume, Eddie Garcia, the breaking
down either the COPA or the European attorneys that are
going on right now not a major topic here on
the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Is that a fair assessment?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Oh? That's very fair?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, okay, well, I shall quickly move on into a
little bit of football, shall we?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
College football? All right?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Eddie Garcia, are you ready for another dose of conference
realignment talk?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Or have you had your fill over the last I
don't know decade. You want some more?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I can't say that I want some more, but I'm
going to have to eat it, whether it's like you know,
it was like vegetables when I was a kid. I
didn't want it, but I was going to have to
eat it. So you don't really have a choice right now.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Because welcome to one of the checkpoints on the road
towards the start of.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
The college football season.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
We are in the middle of media days and Big
twelve had its media day the last two days. By
the way, the Pac twelve had it to media day tonight,
and I think they might have already won media days.
More on that coming up in a bit. But during
Big twelve Media Days, Ross Dellinger was doing a podcast
slash interview with John Kirch. John Kurtz is a Big
(04:06):
twelve reporter works out of Kansas, and Dellinger said he
believed Florida State and Clemson officials have engaged in preliminary
talks with the Big Twelve regarding joining the conference after
the school leaves the ACC now in conjunction and coordination,
if you will with this statement today this report, I
(04:29):
guess the FSU Board of Trustees scheduled a meeting for
July twenty second, the same day that Florida State is
going to be at ACC media Days. Here were the
three preferences that Ross Dellinger said both Florida State and
Clemson had now sidebar Eddie. If we're talking about them
in conjunction like this, would you believe that a Florida
(04:50):
State and a Clemson would be attached at the hip
for their next potential conference Or do you think that
if say, the Big Ten ons Clemson and won't take
Florida State. I don't think that's gonna stop Clemson from
going to the Big Ten, do you no?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's it's all it's all all all men from themselves
or something like that all all hands, every man, thank you,
thank you for cleaning.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
As the great Chris Rock once said.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
And I don't know if I agree with this, but
a man is only as faithful as his options.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yes, yes, right.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
So from this perspective, Florida State and Clemson it can
come out and say, well, here's their preferences. But I
don't think by any means there's some sort of team deal.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
They're joined at the hip until they don't need each
other anymore, and then they're going to do whatever they
they want.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And by the way, these three options are hilarious to
me because they're the only three options that are out there.
A spot in the ac SEC or Big ten is
number one. A reformed ACC with fewer teams splitting revenue
is number two, and then third is joining the Big twelve.
And I gotta funny, say, here's their three uh, here's
their three preferences.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And I'm thinking to myself, three preferences, that's the only option.
Shuit just gott man.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It's like me saying, you know, my thought was to
do a radio show tonight, go to bed or stay
up all night. I mean that those are my three preferences.
They're all three things that are like the only options
I have. This is the only options that you have, Clemson,
Florida State. But according to reports tonight, the Big Twelve
(06:25):
has been very.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Active and I'm trying to think of the best way
to word this.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
How you'll have a coach.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Administrator, athletic director in any walk of life where they
want to plan a story, kind of get some seeds
going and see what the reaction is.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Like.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I think the NFL is really good at this. I
think that the NFL does a good job of like
test marketing stories and ideas and maybe even try to
shape the way that you think about things Like I
think they floated what Christmas Day games on a Wednesday.
I think that's start to get floated right around Super
Bowl week, right where you're like, hey, is there a
(07:03):
possibility we could play games on Christmas again?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
With the great ratings?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I feel like that the Big Twelve in that line
of planning stories, Eddie, I feel like they're being very
outspoken and active about capital investment. They're being very outspoken
about hey, we want Florida State, we want Clemson. I
don't know how you feel about this, and I'm a prideful
Big Twelve A lum, I guess you could say. And
I take a lot of pride in what that conference
(07:27):
has been able to do and what they're doing now.
But I don't know if I'm a Florida State or
a Clemson fan, if a move like that makes me
feel better about things than say an ACC membership does
right now, would it for you?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
It seems like a lateral move to me. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I think I would. It's tough. And the thing is,
I can't get too you know, excited. I don't know
if excited as this the world. I can't get too
emotional or one way or the other about these moves
because I just know it's not This isn't the end
of it. I mean, I don't know what the end
game is, but we're going to I have no doubt
that this is just part of the ongoing journey. That
(08:10):
is what college football is turning into, right, I mean,
at some point, are we going to see the SEC
in the Big Ten just break away and form their
own mega conference? And you know, do they add any
other teams? And it's not over and I don't know
where it ends. So it just like this is just
the latest move, but who knows where it goes from here.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
There was Brett or Mark earlier on Weesday talking about
the Big Twelve.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
We are truly a national conference in ten states, four.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Time zones, and all eyes are now on the Big
Twelve for all the right reasons, and I think it's
safe to say we.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Are more relevant now than ever before.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Now again, I would like to thank whoever recorded that
in an aircraft hangar. Yes, yes, yes, I mean kudos
by the way to our crew on the Fox Sports
radio audio. But that one was a little bit rough,
first of all, incorrect. Love you, Brett, you or Mark,
but you're you're not more relevant than you've ever been before,
but you also understand what's going on here. Clemson and
(09:15):
Florida State are looking to get out of the ACC
and neither have a slam dunk invite from the SEC
or the Big Ten right now. Your Mark also said,
I won't stop until we're the best conference, and we'll see.
But Eddie, I feel like you made the best point,
and you typically do. Because let's pull back even further.
What's the ultimate goal? What does this all come down to?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Right? What what is the end game?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
In all of this because I'm I'm not so sure
that it isn't more NFL, Like, I don't know if
that number can't be thirty two.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
But you know, you combine the Big.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Ten and the SEC and if the ACC or Big
twelve can survive those heavy hitters that maybe you know
have no problem with the twenty million dollars salary cap
and rev sharing, I feel like we're reaching a point
where we're just going to have this separate division for football,
and I don't even want to begin to think about
what that would look like. I mean, would you even
(10:09):
need be to even need to be a student of
a damn school to be on a team? That's how
professional it seems like it's coming. But I'm like you, Eddie,
tell me the endgame. I love college football. I'm going
to watch and we're going to talk about games on
the field coming up over the next months as we
lead up to the start of the college football season.
But for now, with Big twelve media days in the back,
(10:31):
SEC media days coming up, I feel like conference realignment
is a never ending conversation.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
And Eddie, I'm like you, I don't know what the
end game is.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I don't know what the final chapter of this is
even going to look like, or if we'll ever reach
a final chapter.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
And I'm in a weird position too, because I love
college football and you know, I enjoy, you know, the
major conferences. I have family in Alabama. I grew up
an Alabama fan, believe it or not, because of all
the family that I had there, and they were all
Crimson tied crazy, and so that was kind of how
I was raised, was that, you know, this is your team.
(11:07):
But then being an alum of a you know, mid
major program, which I don't even know how that's I mean,
you know, it's it's crazy enough just talking about the
big programs and big conferences, Like as someone who I
have no idea what this endgame is for a program
like Fresno State or any of those kind of programs, Like,
are we going to be in an entirely different, you know,
(11:29):
level of competition? And though you know, at least, I mean,
I understand that there's a large separation as it is,
but you're still sort of a part of it, you
know what I mean. We still play you know, some
major conference teams, But in the end, is it gonna
be okay? We're gonna be completely separate from these other conferences.
(11:50):
We're gonna have our own national championship. I mean, I
don't even know where that's good. I don't know. Most
people I don't want to see. Most people don't care.
But I understand why the focus is where it is.
But I, you know, just for me, I don't even
know how do we even fit in in the landscape
of college football anymore? Is there even a place for
a program like that?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
So?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I mean, I love college football, I love watching whatever
the big two or three games of the week is regardless,
but then I have my own personal investment in it,
and I'm like, am I still even a part of
this anymore? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Can we truly play for a title?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
You know?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Can we be a team that just in budgetary I
guess you could say constraints where you're always gonna be overmatched.
I think that's the reality. Grew I went to a
mid major school. I went to the University of Tulsa.
Now I don't know if they really claim me or not,
but that's where I went, and I would always be
rooting for the little guy.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Hey give them a shot.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
The de is Ever, now we weren't always all that
great football, Eddie, But I remember and you guys had
some bangers.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Man.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I was in college whenever David Carr was it Fresno,
and they brought that team to Tulsan kicked the snot
out of us. But the bottom line is, you know,
are you gonna be knocking on the national door once
every eight or nine years when you get that special
class or could that twelve team playoff eventually sixteen team
(13:07):
playoff help open the door and make some of these
conference alignments less important for the mid majors.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I tend to think we're kind of screwed. Didn't think
our beloved Alma Maters are kind of screwled. But I'm
also a fan of the second tournament. It's not an
n it's a group of five or group of six
championship and you have that title. It's just we have
to accept there's different levels and always will be.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
To this.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You want to quick Tulsa Fresno State Eddie Garcia's story,
I'm down so back in two thousand and five, out
of the goodness of their heart, the powers would be
at Fox Sports Radio sent me to the AutoZone Liberty
Bowl because AutoZone was a major sponsor at the time, right,
and Fresno State was playing Tulsa and they sent me
(13:56):
to cover it basically kind of to you know, we're
mooting AutoZone, but also they knew I was Fresno State
and they were nice enough to send me there and
pay for it, which was amazing. And Tulsabita so I
was not having there. Yeah, So I'm in the press
box at the Liberty were you were you in the
press box?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I was a fan. I went with my ex wife
and her fan, so they did.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
They did send me under the guise of being a reporter.
And and this was back when we used to have
stringers for games. So I was a stringer for the game.
And I'm in the press box at the Liberty Bawl
and it's completely enclosed. It's not open at all, and
so it's you know, there's no you're not getting really
any outside crowd noise. You get a little bit of it,
(14:38):
but not that much. And here I am on a
phone giving scores. You know, we're in the forest first
corner at the Liberty Ball and everyone's looking at me.
Everyone is looking and I got to do this all
game log and then it was so self conscious of
you know, it's one thing to do it when you're
in a studio and there's nobody else, but we've got
(15:00):
like all these people looking over like, who the hell's
what's going? What is this guy doing?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And it's usually quiet, so they're not used to it.
And there's where you can go in that in that
press box.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
You can't go high.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
You know. Nowadays you well, I don't know if you're
on a cell phone, they probably had you a landline. Yeah,
see there you go. Nowadays you can go and yourself.
You can take your cell phone out. Yeah you're gonna
stepped in the hallway or something. You want me to
give you the craziness of that two thousand and five
Liberty Bowl. We went on a week long trip that
included going to that game, and Eddie, you want an
(15:32):
idea of how long ago that was. I remember having
to carry my son around, who I had taken to
the game. It was our first major trip with my son,
Will and we carried it around and all and it
was a place where a bunch of people is the
first time where a lot of people that went to
TU kind of came together. We I'm not saying we
were all in a great place, but everyone was making
enough money where they could at least afford a trip
(15:53):
to Memphis. For goodness sakes, we all went. It was
a blast. Well, my son who I was carrying around,
who was very very young at that game, is now
starting his second third, third year of college, going into
his junior year of college, which also I think was
the last time that my beloved University of Tulsa went
to what people could probably call a major bowl as well.
(16:14):
So yeah, Memphis do was a good party, Eddie, Memphis
was a good party.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Highly suggested. Did you enjoy the fact.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I know you're not as big of a wrestling guy
as like Mike Harmon and myself, but they even have
the with the Mid South Wrestling arena that's right there
in like the parking lot of the Liberty Bowl.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It's amazing. I missed that well.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
As we're coming to you live tonight from the TIRAQ
dot Com Studios. That's Eddie Garcia. I'm Chris Plank sitting
in for Ben Mallor. I want to talk about make
or break seasons for I've got four NFL players and

winning Polly and Tony Foodsco Show.

Speaker 6 (17:13):
But instead of us telling you how great we are,
here's how Dan Fatrick described us when he came on
our show.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
We were interrupting our promo.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Shut up.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Folly and Tony Fousco
Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts O wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Yee.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
The great silent majority of listeners to The Ben Mallor
Show sit in the sidelines, never having their opinions heard.
You're invited to break the glass ceiling by taking up
gigabytes with the Ben Mallor show. Just follow your host
on x in for Ben Maller, It's Chris Plank. He's
at Plank Show and you could post at and follow
our executive producer. He is manning the phones, but he's
more than just a call screener. He is the liar,
(18:06):
liar and the menace of the Fox Sports Radio network.
It's the Coop the Loop Justin Cooper and he's at
u H Bronco Fan Octopussy and o I from the
tirerac dot Com. Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Chris Blank.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I know where it's like Radio Cardinal Sin to ask
about something like from shows past. I think it's like
breaking in on a fly balls and Outfielder. It's like, hey,
it's a past. But was no getting attacked by cats
during his fill in last night?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
No, but he was speaking in glowing terms of a
pair of cats that he and his significant other were
cat sitting for several weeks. Uh, interesting situation.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, you know we I'm allergic to cats, Eddie. This
kind of shows you where I register with my family
Infra Bin Maller, I'm Chrisplank. That's Eddie Garcia's sports radio.
I'm allergic to cats, like deathly allergic to cats. We
have a cat, so and I'm telling you right now,
my whole family loves the cat more than it loves me.
(19:11):
But it clearly it had to stay in my studio
when we first got it.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Did I did?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I remind you that I'm allergic to cats, so it
had to stay in my studio, which is a detached garage.
It's a fancy way to talk about where I do
the show from. It's my studio.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
What Eddie's merely on RV garage. They love the cat, right,
and you're allergic and the cat had to stay in
your studio? Yeah, I got injured by one of our
dogs to keep it away from the dog to nurse
it back to health, right, And it was I'm not
gonna lie to you. We developed a relationship. But here's
(19:44):
the thing. And I saw that from Brian No and
it got me thinking a little bit. Cats are like jerks.
They're a holes. They don't care if you're talking or
doing a show.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I was.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I was filling with my Carmen one time and like, oh, Mike,
I got that cut, let me play it. And as
I went to play, the cat jumped down on my
keyboard and cat on the keyboard right, And.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
It wasn't an excuse, It really happened house.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I hate cats, Go ahead, lorrain to preach.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Absolutely hate cats. I used to love cats. I used
to see myself as a cat.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
What was the dramatic incident that caused you.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Dudes, I have been sprayed by multiple cats.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Oh sprayed?
Speaker 7 (20:19):
Yes, that is butt juice, not not understand spray.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Well, apparently they just don't like you.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
They really like me. Okay.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
So, most recently, there was a neighborhood feral cat who
is in my neighborhood and he looks so scroungy. I
wanted to feed him. I wanted to save his life, right,
like most most things that need help. So I put
out a can of tuna, and I put out a
bull of water and he loved it. He was like, oh,
you're my new best.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Friend, always coming around.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
Oh yeah, no, he loves me now. And then he
used my leg as a scratching post to say thank you,
which wow, not nice, right, I was like, you jerk.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I go inside.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
He hops up on the roof of my house and
he points his butt right across my walkway and he
sprays from the top of the roof of my house,
across the walkway, all the way across my bushes and
my foliage and my pathway.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
With his bud juice. Well, this is a feral cat.
That was the keyword there. Yeah, what does that matter.
It's a cat. It doesn't matter. A stray dog could
kill you. No, Yeah, you're talking about a wild animal.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I'm here for this.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, what's your fifth is a wild animal? By the way, No,
out of context. Just to be clear, she's talking about
a feral cat and the things around her house.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Okay, we don't. We don't need our minds in the
gutters here at this time.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
So I do.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Lorena, you were exaggerating when you said the cat sprayed
on you. It didn't spray on you. It sprayed on you.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
No.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
But when I was little, my my my grandpa had
a cat, and I was in the computer room and
he was doing his little thing where the know they
rub against your leg like, and then all of a sudden,
and then all of a sudden, I feel this warmth
on my leg and I looked down and this guy's
got his tail straight up in the air and it's
shaken like, and this juice just coming out of the
(22:17):
backside and it hits my leg.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I know what it is.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
Okay, I have been sprayed.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Context mark.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
First off, all of these if we only had drops still.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Right, Fortually, she's in charge of them, so you can
pretty much do what she wants.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Well, I have two female cats, and so that's not
that's not a problem.
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Yeah, maybe it's just male cats I don't want.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Oh is that what it is?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I'm like, I don't have that problem. But then again,
I'm trying to avoid this cat.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
And yeah, male cats are the ones that spray really
and but then that's only it's only some of that
because I also, you know, when I was when I
was a teenager, I had a male cat and he
lived for five years.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
He never did that, so interesting. Maybe he didn't like you.
I saw you. I didn't know, if you know, was
battling up against the cats.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I mean, that could be a tough one during the
show for those of us in mobile studios either.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Did you see the picture that he put out of
the cats. Oh yeah, yeah, they were like in jail
or he was in jail. There was like, uh, you know,
iron bars in between him, so it looked like they
really wanted to hang out with him. But did he
put that on X? Yeah he did. Yeah, Brian's very sneaky.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
He doesn't use Twitter a lot, but uh when he does,
I'm always like, oh that's pretty cool, like tweet more.
But uh, yeah, congrats you made it through a show
without a cat ruining it, which is inevitable whenever it
comes to this program. My cat just walks around at night.
I don't know what it does we've got I'm not kidding,
don't know if it's got.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
It just walks around at night. I don't think it sleeps.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I'll wake up and it'll be coming in from outside
like more you know that old Disney or Not Dead
Bugs Bunny with with the the dog that would check
into work and there was Wiley coyote that was checking
in for work. That's like my cat. We're passing in
the night. He's like, oh morning, I'm gonna go take.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
A nap and sleep all day long. Cats the absolute Worst.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Can we read our w n B A tweet for
the show tonight that we got?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Is it from Chris and des Moines. It is, Yeah,
what'd you think of that? It's we can see it here.
I didn't see it, but I know he's a big
fan of the WNBA. Let's let's say maybe I did
see it. Listen, all right, here it is, No, I
didn't see it. Okay, actually this is from the Milkman.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
All right, I did see that one. Yeah, I did
anologize he rights.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Could we consider with the woke movement that they are
trying to make the Clark Reese feud in the w
n B a the modern day version of Bird and Johnson.
It's always there at the top of the sports need
of the sports updates, Like, if we talk enough about it,
people will love it.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Can we be manipulated by by that? You think? Are
we that? I think we can?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I think we can.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I keep waiting for it. There's gotta be a think
piece somewhere. It's gotta be coming. How the Clark hey
Reese couldn't even remember a name. This is some solid
insight here when I can't remember Angel Reese's last name.
How the Clark Reese feud will take the w NBA
to levels it's never seen before. Well, you know, it's
(25:22):
a level it hasn't seen before. Profitability, that's it. That's
a pretty impressive level.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
It's also accurate. Yeah, you're right. I mean, I look,
I don't think it's There are a lot of things
in sports sometimes we'll stretch. I don't think that's too crazy, really.
I mean, they were legitimate rivals in college and they
are two star rookies now and I can see the connection.
I don't think it's completely ridiculous to go there.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
You know what's kind of funny, though, is everyone will
get mad whenever you fire back.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
It's like, oh, do you have a.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Problem with either women's sports WNBA getting this platform?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
My response is always no.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
But I feel like my frustration is where it's almost
as if I'm talked at about how important.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
This better be to me?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Right? This better you better be paying attention to I'm like, whoa, wha,
hold up here, what do you mean I better be
or I should be. It's not like we're willfully saying
I am going to shut you out. It's it's topical
in my world when it comes up. But to Milkman's text,
I mean, I I've never been I've never been talked
(26:34):
at more talked at, not talked with, not talked about,
not talked talked at more than I feel like I'm
talked at about how the WNBA should be covered.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Or talked about. That's it.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
It's just you better be doing this.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I'm like, well, no, I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I'm gonna follow it.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
But I don't feel like I need to come in
with some scorching hot take on everything that happens in
the WNBA, nor do I need to hold it in
some sense of like royal right now.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
No, I'm one hundred percent with you. I I, as
I said before, I really don't understand why now. And
you know, you could talk about Kaylen Clark, and again,
I'm not saying she isn't a very good player, and
I understand the appeal of her, I guess, but there's
been plenty of good players that have played college basketball
and then gone on to the WNBA. And I don't
(27:22):
know that she's She's not Tiger Woods, you know what
I mean. She's a very good player, but I don't
I don't get why her and now is the combination
of enlightenment for everyone. I just don't. I don't get
it at all. I mean there are some things you
could if there were some certain circumstances, I could understand it.
But you know, it's not like she's coming in and
(27:43):
scoring forty at night or something crazy where you're like,
you just have to pay attention because nobody's done this before.
Speaker 8 (27:48):
That.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I could get that. I could understand that. I could
also understand if she was this amazing personality that you know,
it's very witty and funny and just says controversial things
and you just got to pay attention.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
She's not that.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
She's not there. And I'll even go here. She's not
the Anna Kornakova of the w NBA where you know,
if she were, you know, if she were like the
Paulina Gretzky, but she can hoop. Yeah, like I could.
I could see, you know, big men wanted to pay
attention to that, and that's the reality of it. But
she's not that either, to be honest, So I don't
(28:24):
get it. I don't I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
I know we got the lines jammed up.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I'm gonna get right to him at eighty seven seven
ninety nine on Foxy My Oklahoma. People stepping up. But
let me let me just add this It's one of
the most fascinating popularity explosions I think ever because of
what Eddie just I, books will be written, studies will
be done there. Just what was it? Because you know,
again Tiger Woods and what he did at golf, you
(28:50):
could understand that explosion, right, I mean, let's face it,
he was doing things that people with with I mean,
we had not seen someone would tiger Woods culture is background,
his skin color have this kind of success in this sport.
It was incredibly I think magnetizing. It brought everyone to it, right.
(29:11):
I think you can look back at different stories with
successes that people have had in baseball or basketball where
they McGuire and so sir, right, we had never seen
anyone hit home runs like that before, and it brought
every one of the game. Football wise, we haven't seen
dominance like we saw from Brady. This is just someone
that shoots the ball well, right, and that's not knocking her.
She's a good basketball player. It's just wild Eddie and
(29:33):
all of the things we laid out how this thing
has become an absolute rocket ship for Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
I'm with you. I'm kind of glad we're on the
same page. I guess it would be No, we're on
the same maybe'd be a better show if we're yelling
at each other.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
How dare you you are being sexist?
Speaker 3 (29:50):
All right?

your name mentioned a lot that tournament down there. They
all found out if and Fox Sports talk to himself,
you know, forwenty one years, and your name was really
highly talked about. They say they like your show because
I've mentioned people don't know, and they just.

They like your show. Down the way.
Speaker 9 (32:05):
Now you're we have another company.
Speaker 3 (32:07):

Speaker 9 (32:16):

But oh no, oh no, Sir scratch Off was ready
to get through the guts of his call. Sorry, buddy,
way to fight there, Sir scratch Off.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Do you know what's interesting is it's funny I have
people that will say nice things about me like that,
and yet my family.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Can't stand me. I don't know what this is.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Uh. Jed who Fled is next up on Fox Sports Radio,
Good Morning, Jed.
Speaker 8 (32:46):
People out there doubting God's existence exactly one scots off
call getting cut off? All right, So what's going on

Speaker 9 (32:56):
For a living.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
I don't I do just a run he's ring except
the lives far now.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
I'm not sure saying that that Lorrainer either. But if
she keeps telling these cats, these these cats toes like that,
I'm gonna teach out something about soccer, just like my
buddies whose girlfriend recently was trying to get out the kitchen.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
She's doing that.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
I'm to soccer in the mouth, okay, right here in America,
and that, Hey, I'm trying to I don't know a.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
Good deal whatever.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
The favor response is just no, and so died it
hear that's issues. They got other options due They could
go back to being an all female school. We could
play lingerie football. We could drop that buddy, since tiny dude,
we got other options.
Speaker 9 (33:36):
Come on, which going was.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Thanks for the call.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I think we're good there tonight I think we've uh
talking about socking a partner in the face because they
were trying to, as I think you put it, get
out of the kitchen. And then how Florida State should
go back to an all girls school.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
I think we're good. I think I think we've reached them.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Is the Lingerie Football League still in existence? I haven't thought.
I haven't thought about that or about that is. But
it's it's called something else now.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
I think that was a thing.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yes, oh yeah, oh yeah, it was a thing.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Really, it's called X League now. Of course that's what
it is because the rebranding is going to change everything.
Speaker 7 (34:19):
Yeah, hold on, I want to get I know there
was a basketball game that's got a lot of big
booties in it that.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
This is literally lingerie rolls in lingdrier lingerie playing football.
Speaker 7 (34:32):
They are they okay, they're not.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
It's it's like Arena league.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Yeah, okay, they were like hockey elements. Coop is on
doing interesting.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
We are two hundred and ninety six days away from
the debut of the X League. Oh the debut, Yeah,
it has so. I guess it's taken a little bit
of time off some of the shots that they have,
like with the crowd. I got you can go to
X League. Dive right, crack that block is I mean
(35:01):
everything here, this is let's They don't even have a
schedule yet. They don't even have a way. Well, no,
they don't have a way that you can buy tickets.
They have a contact and that's about it. Seven on
seven hybrid format of tackle meets flag competing at a
rain at arenas and stadiums nationally on a seventy yard field.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Darn, I'm shocked. It's not six on nine.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I see what you do, Arena.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
You could try out for the Los Angeles Black Storm.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
You know, I was thinking I might go and try out.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
This might be fun.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
I can't find the teams.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
I'm totally down.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Uh, the Atlanta Empire, the Arizona Red Devils, I'd kill
those booty shorts, and the Seattle Thunder is what I'm
seeing here. Huh, look what you did? Jed who fled you?
Let us never know where you're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
All right, Hey, if you're on hold hanging there, I
want to make sure you get plenty of time. I
see you, I see a gunny, I see you warn
I see a leprechaun. Mic I want to make sure
you guys have plenty of time and not try to
squeeze in here under the wire. I was thinking a
lot during the break of the why, not just with
Caitlin Clark, but sometimes with stories like how does this
(36:11):
story become something that we talk about incessantly? And then
why is sometimes a story that I think is not
going to be talked about much it's a huge deal,
and then vice versa, or his Arnie likes to say
vice versa. So I think the Caitlin Clark popularity is
going to be one of the most fascinating studies when
(36:31):
we reach the end, like what was it? What was
it that made her so attracted to fans? It grew
the game the way that it did, or at least
in this spell right now, because there's there's no rhyme
or reason to it. She's just really good at basketball
and it's kind of cool to see it. But I'm
also in that phrase where I don't really know how
(36:51):
much I need to talk about it. I'm just infatuated
with how big of a story it has become. But
as maya man Truck or Joe writes, all right, Plank,
you done talked about soccer w NBA. Now all we
need is an Oklahoma softball update to finish off my
beingo card. Well, I guess Eddie, maybe in a roundabout
(37:12):
way that that's kind of what sir scratch Off was
talking about. He didn't mention softball, so maybe we've reached
our overnight depth chart checklist for you. And my man
Chris points out that he is a cat lover, so
hopefully I can get a hypel aller genetic all allergenic?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Is that the word English?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Thank you, Coop.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I don't want a cat at all. Hypo allergenic cats. Look,
isn't that like Doctor Evil's cat? Now, I've got to
like this cat because my girls like it. My daughter's
liked it, so I've got to like it. Still higher
on the depth chart than me. All Right, when we
come back to the track dot com Studios, I've got
a list. I know Ben pushes back against lists, okay,
and I'm trying to do this in a much different way,
(37:56):
shape or form.
