we are together again. All is well in your world
and we are reunited through the magic of overnight talk radio.
How lucky are we to be hanging out together? And
our lead story here to begin the Overnight Talk Festivas

(01:59):
from the Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty five.
Now Big Night in No Orleans. A lot of boozing.
Not just the media elites boozing. There's an NFL big
shots that came in there. As the NFL tries to
cross over. They've been doing this for years. They want
to be seen as entertainment and glitz and glamour, and
when it's just a bunch of meathead football players giving

(02:21):
awards to other meathhead football players. But for our purposes,
to begin the night, we'll push back, push back the
MVP award which did go to Josh Allen over Lamar Jackson,
So crank up the outrage machine. I did not share
the outrage with that. But if you did not pay
attention to Big One is the living cemetery of the NFL.
It's in Canton, Ohio. It's not technically the NFL. It's

(02:44):
the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But if you do
not see the class of twenty twenty five, that would
be tight end Antonio Gates, cornerback Eric Allen, defensive end
Jared Allen, so a lot of Allen's wide receivers, Sterling Sharp.
He joins his brother. They're the newest members of the
Pro Football Hall of Fame, and they will be inducted

(03:07):
in a Gallas ceremony in early August, where everyone will
be focused on Canton Ohio as they will be enshrined
in that mausoleum. Now, the class was chosen in a
smoke filled room, well, actually it was a virtual meeting.
Used to be a smoke filled room, but now everything's
on zoom. So the Board of Selectors, a group of

(03:31):
fifty voters, randomly decided who's in and who's out, who's
in and who's out. So it's the smallest class in
twenty years. You're gonna go back to twenty oh five.
Was barely alive then, and that was also a four
member class for the Hall of Fame. Now, the better
story is in the losing the losing locker room, or

(03:53):
in this case, the losing campaign for the Hall of Fame.
Now I mentioned moving man Matt and he has been
one of the great advocates him and guys like Spaccoli
and these other losers for Eli Manning to get into
the Hall of Fame. Well that's the story. Don't bear
the lead, my man, don't bear the lead. Better story
in the losing locker room. So you've got former Colts

(04:14):
and Patriots kicker Adam VENTERTERI did not make it, Panthers
linebacker Luke Keigley, and Giants quarterback Elijah Manning, all of
them in their first year of eligibility. None of them
were selected. The big one is the quarterback, and the

(04:34):
headlines all over the world wide web shocking, outrageous snub.
Eli blocked from Canton, Ohio at the NFL Honors and
that made the rounds bouncing around the pinball machine. So
let us discuss the question, how do you classify Eli

(04:57):
Manning not getting in to the Hall of Fame on
his first ballot. So I have David Copperfield, I've got
Hans Solo and Wendy's three things that have never ever
been combined together. Will ring the bell and we'll make
some magic here. So my first thought, how do you
classify Eli Manning not getting into the Hall of Fame

(05:21):
on the first ballot? I classify it as justified, right, Bravo,
bravo to the voters. I don't know who you are,
but I didn't think that the people that voted for
the Pro Football Hall of Fame had the intestinal fortitude,
had the manhood show. I don't know. I haven't gon
say it. They had hair in their chest to do this,

(05:43):
But Eli Maning being a first ballot Hall of Famer
would have been criminal. He is not that. I wouldn't
even put him in the Hall of Fame. And I
think eventually he's gonna get in the Hall of Fame.
But he doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.
And here's why he isd mid. He's a mid player.
He's David Copperfield. He's used smoking mirrors trickeration to convince

(06:09):
dumb people that he's better than he is. He's just
an average ballplayer that low information fans get all excited
about because a couple of fluke playoff runs. But he
never won a playoff game. Outside of those two fluke
runs in the playoffs, he was not at any point,
at any moment, an elite ballplayer. Now my evidence, Elijah

(06:34):
in his NFL career was a five hundred player, one
hundred and seventeen wins, one hundred and seventeen losses. He
never won an MVP award, never really came close to that.
He never finished as the league leader in passing yards.
He was never considered one of the top two or
three quarterbacks in the NFL at any point. He was
never named an All Pro. And that's a big one,

(06:56):
that is, how can you be a Hall of Famer
if not one time where you consider it an All Pro?
Sixteen years, not once did anyone say this guy's an
All Pro. None. And the Super Bowl wins, while they're
nice and all that, it's a team award. It's not
an individual award. And in terms of judging Eli Manning

(07:19):
on his own resume, not your imagination, your perception, your
fairy tale, but the actual raw numbers if you go
and look at him and also watching him play. But
that's a different conversation. But the math isn't mathing. When
you look at the Pro Football Reference page of Eli Manning,
Eli led the NFL in only one category over sixteen

(07:45):
years in the league. Only one. Now I'll give him credit.
He did lead the league three times in one category.
That category was that's right, interceptions, So he was elite
at throwing interceptions. So good job by him. That Bupkus.
And the comp on Eli Manning is Donovan McNabb. Would

(08:06):
you put Donovan McNabb on the Hall of It? Would
you put Carson Palmer in the Hall of Fame? That's
the type of ballplayer that Eli Manning is. Again, I
think eventually he'll get in, but it's nice that he
didn't get in right away. He won't likely get in
next year and he should have to wait a long time.
I would never put him in, but I know how
this works, I know the politics of this, and eventually

(08:30):
he'll end up in the Hall of Fame. Now, page two,
So where are you at on former Carolina linebacker Luke
Keighley not getting voted in as well? In the can
So to me, this was the snub in the room.
I can't get all worked up about Adam Vinti because
he's a kicker and kickers aren't real football players. But

(08:51):
Luke Keighley I can get worked up for. Since Keighley
did not play in the New York New Jersey tri
state area there with Connecticut. He doesn't have the last
name Manning the royalty of the NFL. This part is
mostly being ignored. And while Eli Manning clearly does not
belong in the Hall of Fame based on his resume,

(09:13):
Luke Keikley checks just about every box. Just about every box.
And this is a Han solo situation saying, Luke, may
the Force be with you, and the Force is with
Luke Keighley, and I'm gonna make my elevator pitch as
to why Luke Keigley was a five time All Pro,

(09:36):
a five time All Pro in his career. Remember, Eli
Manning was not. He was on the All Decade Team
Luke Keigley for the twenty tens. Eli Manning never made
an All Decade team. He was the Rookie Defensive Player
of the Year and then Defensive Player Year. The only
red flag, the only bumpety bump for Luke Keekley is

(10:00):
that he did not have longevity, but football is not
a sport design for longevity. He played eight seasons, which
seems like a lot longer than most NFL careers. However,
if you merely judge him on those eight years. He
ended up in the upper crust All pro status, not

(10:20):
Pro Bowl where they play game shows in a water
balloon toss All pro, all pro. Sixty two percent of
his career he was in the Krem de la Kreme
of the NFL. So, Luke Keickley, that was a bad
job by the voters. I agree with the Manning thing.
I do not agree with Luke Keighley. But you can't

(10:41):
get two worked up because it's Carolina Panther player and
there's not a lot of people that get all worked
out and more on in North Carolina and the Carolinas
and all that. But yeah, they're kind of calm and all.
All right, last word, So, how would you describe the
new members, the brand new members of the Hall of
Fame class of twenty twenty five. So I would describe

(11:03):
them as good, not great. Good, not great. In fact,
I would go back to an old forty some year
old marketing campaign from Windy's Where's the Beef? Where's the beef? Yeah,
it's lacking the wow factor. None of these guys are bad.

(11:26):
They're not bad. Eric Allen played fourteen seasons, so he
had longevity he made one All Pro team. Why is
he now a Hall of Famer? Win a Hall of Famer.
In the last couple of years, Antonio Gates made three
All Pro teams and was a good player, one of
the great tight ends of his ear for the San
Diego charge the old San Diego Chargers. He was on

(11:48):
an All Decade team, which is nice. And I'm trying
to remember. Maybe I'm just my memory's going, but I
can't remember a signature moment of Antonio Gates' career, can you.
I can't. What was his defining moment that you said, well,
that's a Hall of Fame moment? What was it? Jared
Allen again a good player with the Vikings and the

(12:10):
Chiefs and was a four time All Pro and mostly
mid middling teams that he played on, but individually he
was very effective. So he's in good but not great.
And Sterling Sharp who made three All Pro teams if
you're old enough to remember him with the Green Bay
Packers and got hurt and that was it and he
played I think it was seven years and he got

(12:32):
in in the Hall of Fame and was like, okay, fine,
it doesn't get you all. Tingley doesn't get you all excited.
But those guys are in the Hall of Fame. Okay,
that's fine, they're in, But I'm not gonna go raw rah.
I mean, you know, that's just the way it is. Anyway,
it is the Ben Mahlor Show. We are here all night,

(12:53):
every night during the week and then also on the weekends.
You can find me on the Fifth Hour p And
I am excited because today on the Friday pod, the
Fifth Hour pot, which will be up later today, I'm
catching up with a very famous fan, very famous fan
who is a listener to our show, which is kind

(13:15):
of cool. It's always need when you meet someone and
you're like, hey, that guy and then they know who
you are. So this guy known as almost Andy Reid.
If you were out, if you're one of our listeners
in Kansas City, you came to the Kansas City Meet
and Greet, you saw this guy that looks just like
Andy Reid. That's Almost Andy Reid, and he is a
listener of our show. I met him, we have mutual

(13:37):
radio friends, and he's going to be on the pod
later today, the Fifth Hour Podcast, so we'll catch up
with him. And I told one of my big muckety
muck Radio friends. I said, I'm gonna have the Andy
Reid impersonator guy on. And he said, Ben, you do
a podcast you're having in a snow video. You're having
an impersonator whose claim is that he looks like Andy Reid,

(14:00):
and you're having him on an audio only podcast. I said, Yes,
I am, because that's how I roll, that's how I operate. Yes.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
We're gonna go to pro bouncy Ball, but we'll get
back to the NFL, the big stories in football. The
Award Show made for TV Awards Extravaganza in New Orleans,
they announced the new members of the Hall of Fame
and the e Lime Manny was blocked not in the
Hall of Fame. Good job by the Hall of Fame

(14:39):
voters there. He is not worthy, certainly not a first
ballot Hall of Fame. I wouldn't put him in. Eventually
he'll get in, but he doesn't belong there. He just
was not worthy as a Hall of Fame level quarterback.
We'll talk more about that. Also, the MVP Award. Will
do a full Mala monologue later on on this but
Josh Allen ends up taking the win, and it's Super

(15:02):
Bowl weekend. The only thing Buffalo can win on Super
Bowl weekend is the MVP Award, So they've got that.
They don't actually get to the Super Bowl over and
they do, they don't win it. So Josh Allen beats
out Lamar Jackson. That was deemed controversial. So we'll talk
more about that as we go through the overnight. But
our lead this hour from pro Bouncy Ball. The music
stopped music and I was sleeping. I don't know if

(15:25):
you know that do an overnight show. So I was sleeping,
but the music stopped. On the NBA trade deadline twenty
twenty five, a flurry, a flurry of deals. The Wizards
sent Marvin Bagley the Third who was supposed to be
good but isn't, and Johnny Davis, whoever that is. To
the Grizzlies. They got Marcus Smart. Remember when this guy

(15:47):
was a big star for the Celtics and he had
the green hair and he I believe he had a
serial named after him. I was at one of the
grocery stores there in Boston, and I saw there was
a serial with Marcus Smart's face on it, and I thought, wow,
Marcus Smart is big enough to get his own cereal.
That's pretty wild. And now he's playing for the Wizards,

(16:08):
or maybe he'll be bought out a Dennis Schroeder or Shrewder. Shrewder.
He's the guy that said slavery. It's modern day slavery
being an NBA ballplayer and being traded. And so he
has been traded again. That is now what five teams
he has technically been a part of this year. He
is re rooted or routed from the Pistons. He was

(16:31):
with the Warriors after originally I think he was with
the Nets. He went to the Warriors, then he was
traded to the Heat, then he was traded to the Jazz,
and then now he's ending up with the Pistons. Okay, okay, yeah,
he started the year with the Nets, but Warriors, Jazz
and so not the Heat, Warriors, Jazz, Pistons. And that's

(16:53):
it all right now the Hawks, they made a trade
with the People's team. Bog Don Bogdanovic. Bogdon Bogdanovic, who
at one point was deemed a pretty good player although
he hasn't played well this year, and three second round picks,
how valuable are those? Go to the people's team, the

(17:15):
Clippers for that man. There goes that man, Terrence Man.
He's going to Atlanta, good airport, bad basketball, good airport,
and Bones Highland, good name, not a good game. But
he's going to the Hawks. So we'll see if bog
Bogdanovich can unlock a Clipper team which is in a
malaise that All Star break a couple of weeks before

(17:36):
the All Star break, malaise that they are in right now.
But Bogdanovich goes there. The Hawks also sent DeAndre Hunter
to the Cadavers in exchange for Kris LeVert, who I've
heard of used to be with the Nets. And there
were like other players and second round picks and written
draft pick swaps and all that crap. But none of

(17:59):
those moves I believe are worthy of a full mall
of monologue. So instead we turn our attention to just
below the Brooklyn Bridge. Why why not? We have learned
that the basketball team that used to be in New
Jersey and has been in Brooklyn for many years now,
the Nets are working to buy out slash forward guard

(18:26):
Ben Simmons, the assie Ben Simmons. He can be yours
if you want to sign a player who doesn't like
playing basketball. So let us discuss the question. This guy
was a big star early on, a top pick in
the draft with the Sixers, was an all star and
generational talent. Part of the Sixers sucking trust the process

(18:52):
where they trusted the process that got them Ben Simmons,
who's been hanging out at the halfway house in Brooklyn?
So the Nets getting out? Here's the question, as we
discussed the Nets getting out of the Ben Simmons business,
what does that signify to you? What does that signify

(19:14):
to you? So I've got hands of stone, traveling, gypsy
and bong and we will combine all of these things
together and we hope, we hope to hit on all cylinders.
So num burn, I said numb burn. The Brooklyn Nets

(19:41):
are not only a basketball team, but they have also
finally seen the light. They have crossed the rubicon. And
good job, it took you a while. I don't know
why it took you so long. Bat job by you,
but finally you have wised up. Right. They are now
acting like the one of the great moments in my lifetime.

(20:03):
In boxing history, there was a boxer whose nickname was
hands of Stone, Roberto Robert Durant. Roberto Durant, right, Roberto Durant,
No Moss, No moss. And that makes you wonder, that,
you know, makes you wonder what exactly got them to
this point. Ben Simmons has been the poster boy for

(20:24):
what is the modern NBA uber talented check uninterested in
playing basketball. Check enigma check check check. He's twenty eight
years old. It's now been three seasons below the Brooklyn Bridge.

(20:46):
He was acquired James Harden. Ashley was the player that
was the James Harden trade who went He was upset
with the nets, so he went to the sixers, and
then Ben Simmons went back inbound to the nets. And
sim has played more than forty games one time with
the net. Now I played eighty two, they're supposed to
play eighty two. He's played more than forty one time.

(21:07):
This season, Ben Simmons has averaged a little over six points,
a little over five rebounds, a little less than seven assists,
and he's played about twenty five minutes a game. Essentially,
he's played hooky yet again this year and now he
is on a one way bus ticket out of the

(21:28):
Nets organization. So page two, what is next for Ben Simmons.
We know he's been fired by the Brooklyn Nets, but
what is next for Ben Simmons after getting that buyout?
So he is going to do what he's been doing
his entire career. Why would he stop? Now it's working.
It's not working on the court, but it's working financially.

(21:51):
Ben Simmons will continue his life as a traveling gypsy
of hoop. A traveling gypsy of hoop, that's Ben Simmons.
He will go to the next town, He'll steal more
money and then it'll move to another town. He's a
con man, he's a confidence man, and he can do
it because he's six foot ten and he has all

(22:12):
the skills other than the fact he can't shoot. But
he is enticing. He is enticing for those that are
convinced they have the father Flannagan in them. They can
turn around players that it's not going well in their careers.
And it takes a village, and they have the right
village and all that bull crab And while Simmons has
been a versatile defender the few minutes he's played on

(22:33):
the court. He's a strong passer for someone his size.
He also has the Komodo Dragon in the room, the
HeLa Monster, the yips right, can't shoot more than five
feet away from the basket. He's a liability. It's We
talked about him back in his Philadelphia days, and I
remember doing Mallard monologue about him because I was fascinated.

(22:55):
And we talk about the Lakers now with Luca and
with Lebron, and when those guys start playing together, they
will be on the power play on offense, and they'll
be shorthanded on defense. Well, the Sixers when they had
Ben Simmons and he was a big minute guy in
their rotation, they were playing four on five on offense
because as long as Ben Simmons was away from the

(23:16):
painted area, he wasn't gonna shoot. He was not going
to So you knew defensively you didn't have to worry
about Ben Simmons when he was out he passed the
ball so he could lay off him defensively. And so
he's been able to fleece millions, millions and millions of
dollars from gullible, unsuspecting NBA executives and Simmons takes that

(23:37):
cash up front, gets that guaranteed money, and then he
provides an incomplete, substandard performance if he even shows up
to work at all. Now I have a little concern
because the early reporting indicates the one of the teams
interested in Ben Simmons is the People's team. The Clippers
are said to be interested. And I really am confused

(24:00):
by what's going on over there, because this is the
epitome of what you don't want. Uh, this is I
don't understand. I guess to the Clippers are trying to
corner the market on basketball players who are contaminated with
this mindset of not being all that interesting, not having

(24:21):
in playing, not being a team that's built on perseverance.
And you want want a dog, I need those. I
don't need cats. I need dogs. But they got a
lot of cats over there in clipper Land right now,
injury prone players who have good talent. But Ben Simmons,
I guess he could be the apprentice or the understudy
to Kawhi Leonard. And then they'll they'll say if they

(24:42):
if they do get Ben Simmons, they'll say, well, if
we stay healthy, we're gonna win the championship. Of course
they'll never stay healthy. Pump the brakes on that right now,
All right, now, final point, I want to go back
to the NBA trade deadline. Interesting story of what did
not happen out of Minnesota, the him Wolves, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

(25:04):
Multiple stories throughout the day that Minnesota explored getting into
the Kevin Durant sweepstakes. They were thinking about buying a
couple of tickets, hoping that they won the fifty to
fifty raffle for Kevin Durant and they would reunite him
with his buddy Anthony Edwards. So the story was that

(25:26):
the Wolves thought that Durant would be open to coming
to the winter wonderland of Minnesota. It obviously did not happen. However,
they they're saying, well, the buzz was real, it really,
it really happened. The rumor was real, all right. So
question for the esteem panel, the Timberwolves trying and failing

(25:47):
the land Kevin Durant from Phoenix before the NBA trade deadline.
Your thoughts on this plot twist out of Minnesota. So
I believe based on what I have known of available
draft capital and the way that the machine works in

(26:08):
the NBA that several executives, in my opinion, for the Timberwolves,
dusted off their bong and they were smoking psychedelic drugs
out of that bong. A. I don't care how much
Kevin Durant likes Anthony Edwards, He's not gonna want to
go to the Twin Cities. So that's a non starter.

(26:30):
And unless I'm mistaken, and correct me if I am mistaken,
hasn't Minnesota because of the Rudy Gobert trade and these
other trades, they've made pretty much traded all of their
lottery tickets. They don't have any lottery tickets that are
worth anything for several years. For several years, they don't
have a goodie bag to hand out. There is literally

(26:52):
nothing there there that they could have offered that Phoenix
would have interest in it. So I mean, let's they
got some kind of bag of tricks we don't know
about in the Minnesota front office and they could use
a Jedi mind trick. I really, I think that's a
story that was total bullshoy, is what.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
I be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Here we Go, it's Mallard. How about that?

Speaker 2 (27:23):
To the third degree. This is one big Ben gets
grilled too.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Michael Parsons made a radio appearance this week where he
said that the Cowboys struggled so much that he doesn't
think Derrick Henry would have helped them.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Ben, Is he right? Yeah, Well you never know, right,
you can say that and there's no way to prove
that he would have helped him and would not have
helped them. All I know about the Dallas Cowboys, right,
All I know is that this past season, in terms
of rushing game performance, the Dallas Cowboy we're twenty seventh

(28:01):
in the NFL. So if they were like fifteenth in
the NFL, I think that would have mattered. But what
do I know. I just do the overnight show. So
he's just saying that to be polite, but I disagree.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Next, running back Josh Jacobs also made the rounds and
said that he thinks Green Bay needs a guy that's
proven to be a number one ride receiver already, and
then he was asked if the team should try reuniting
with DeVante Adams. He said, if he comes at the
right price, tell him to slide. Ben, could you see
an Adams Packers reunion.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yes, because Adams is a diminishing asset that the Packers
never signed top notch free agents my entire life. They
never signed those guys. So Adams is older now, he's
coming off a down season. That is the perfect guy.
He's from Green Bay, played there a London, so that
is the type of player the Packers would bring back
the Lambo field next.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
On Tuesday, the mayor of Saint Petersburg, Florida, said the
city is poised to move on from the Rays if
they project a new stadium deal. Ben, do you think
we could be seeing the end of the Do you
think we can be seeing the Rays migrate?

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah? I mentioned this in a previous episode episode of
the show. But yeah, I mean Baseball wants to put
a team in Nashville. They want to add expansion teams,
and they want to put a team in Vegas. And
then the A's moved to Vegas, so the Rays could
move to Nashville. Ultimately, I think they'll stay. It sounds
like they're gonna stay in Florida. I don't believe they're
gonna leave. But how do we do you pass this edision?

(29:24):
That is a word putting on the board. We the wins,
all time wins came right here, this guy right here,
Bill Miller.

You know, what would a Valentine's Day be without one?

Speaker 1 (36:59):
You know chea.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
Well no, so these aren't even like they do something different.
Now you've got like a cheeseball action movie that has
to do with Valentine's Day, and then you've got your
cheeseball horror movie. So first we have Love Hurts. This
is the action one. This is starring k Kwan from

(37:23):
you know, yes, there's a question Mark, Indiana Jones and
everything everywhere at once, you know, Academy Award winner and
he is a former hitman and then former partner in
crime that he had left for Dead is you know,
upset and comes back for revenge. This one doesn't have

(37:44):
great reviews, but it is out this weekend in theaters.
Also out this weekend in theaters is a scary movie
called Heart Eyes, and this one actually has good reviews.
It's got eighty five percent so far on Rotten Tomatoes.
For the past several years, the Heart Eyes killer has
wreaked havoc on Valentine's Day by stalking and murdering romantic couples.

(38:06):
This Valentine's Day, no one is safe.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
No, no, are you scared, Lrena? I'm terrified.

Speaker 3 (38:12):

Conkey Brewster's daughter.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
No, she's known from the Fast and Furious series. All right, yep,
And moving on to television now, this is one. This
must have been out for a little while, I believe,
but I just discovered it so I wanted to bring
it up. It is a documentary series on Apple TV
Plus and it's called Vietnam The War That Changed America. Now,

(38:48):
this one's gotten great reviews and deservedly so. I'm I'm
a couple episodes into it. I believe it's a three
part series. And what's kind of cool is it it
takes like actual footage because I guess, you know, during
the Vietnam War, the news camera has had, you know,
more access than they'd ever had before. It was just
you know, they're in there on the front lines, and

(39:09):
so they take this footage and then they have interviews
with people from the footage and there's some you know,
they kind of tell you the story that you're seeing
in the foot it. It's pretty cool. So I would
recommend checking that out if you have Apple TV Plus.
And then, last, but not least, is a new show
coming out. It's actually available right now. It is called
Apple Cider Vinegar and that's.

Speaker 1 (39:31):

why would you drink that? You Well, I tried it
one time because I kept reading about how healthy it was,
and so I was like, I'll give it a shot.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
And I was like, uh so, basically, this is a
true Ish Story mini series recounting the tale of an
Australian Instagram influencer who develops a rivalry with a popular
blogger as the latter undergoes treatment for cancer. Then the
first person tells her followers that she has brain cancer,

(40:13):
grows her follower based by the hundreds of thousands, while
signing book deals, launching an app, and how her healthy
diet has led to remission and it's all it's.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
