No one's happy. We'll talk about all that and more
right now here it is our number three, sitting in

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Not without the drama.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mather Show.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
We are in.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
The air everywhere that's right, one on one as we
are not always, but occasionally puke producing coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the mast and spippingly
powerful microphones of fs are ammating live from the game,
(01:56):
playing the blame game under the cover of darkness from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by
Jerry and Rhode Island and epic Red Sox fan got
to meet her a couple years back at the Red
Sox Dodger World Series. And this portion of the Ben

what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like

Speaker 1 (02:37):
The way that tire buying show.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Be so our lead this hour is from San Francisco.
If you look at your standings now the top seed
in the NFC after five weeks the forty nine ers
bounce back season. They have the drama Orama, which is
good for talk radio purposes. So follow up to the
(03:04):
last week. Last Thursday, Mac Jones keeping up with the Joneses.
Mac Jones went out there and he was cooking with
gas against the Rams in the first half. And so
what do you think happened over the weekend? Well, Nighters
didn't play. However, the radio chatter picked up. Yeah, a
lot of chirping, a lot of chirping. So if you
(03:24):
didn't hear the latest on this, maybe not Shifty better
known as Adam Schefter.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
He tells us he came out and said no.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
He says, I'm When asked about the possibility of mac
Jones continuing on as the long term option the quarterback,
he says, no, I still think absolutely brock Perty's job.
It's brock Perty's job. I don't even think it's a question.
Close quote. Well, maybe it's not a question, but it's
definitely a conversation. We're having one right now on the radio,
(03:54):
so it is a conversation. So let us discuss the question,
do we have the ingredients for a quarterback controversy Bruin
between Brock Purty and Mac Jones by the bay. So
I've got ghostly Goblin, we have a fortune and in
(04:15):
honor of Andrea the Old Farmer's Almanac, because there's a
full moon.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Going on right now. So we'll combine all these things.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Together and we're gonna make the Baba ganoosh is what
We're gonna make.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Delicious Baba ganoosh, I know, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So first of all, Mac Jones he walked into Kyle
Shanahan's cubicle, just work with me on this. He dropped
down a Manila folder in the cartoon bubble in my head,
put down round the table and he said, I'm back, baby,
I'm back. And then Shannon said, well you were never
(04:49):
that good, but I'm back. And that has made things
uncomfortable for the Golden Boys. So it's not brewing in
terms of hot coffee. It's more of a old brew.
It's a cold Bru's office. Politics is what's going on
right now, and that's the issue. See, Brock Party is
going to be seeing ghosts, not like Sam Darnold, but
(05:12):
he's going to be seeing ghosts like it's like a
Halloween rerun of the sixth Sense. It's a full on
hr nightmare for the Niners because the Niners did the thing.
They can't do it at the time. They can't do it.
We told them not to do it. They didn't listen
to us. Who doesn't listen to overnight talk radio. Bad
job by them, and that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You've got brock Purty, who was the upstart feeld good story,
mister irrelevant, the last pick in the draft, overachieving intern
who gets promoted. He's the vice president now of the
company and now he's getting side eyed by the new
guy who's got the corner office, but he's just kind
(05:52):
of temporarily in the corner office. It's not really his office.
And mac Jones now he is the disgruntled transfer in
this little an area. Okay, we're writing, we're writing a play.
So he's the discrunter transfer. He comes from the branch
of the company that's in the northeast of New England
and he shows up and just like, where did this
guy come from? He just starts crushing it and his
(06:13):
presentation was amazing. It's like wow, and people like whispering.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Around the water cooler.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
They're having conversations and they're like, wow, this do you
see this Mac Jones guy, what he did to the
Rams in the first half of that game.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You're like, oh, yeah, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And of course the wrecking ball, the wrecking ball is
in the break room. That is the contract. See, that's
the reason this is a cold brew and not a
warm brew. Rock Party, for reasons only the Niners can explain,
was given a one hundred and eighty two million dollar contract.
There is nothing special that Rock Purty does, and yet
(06:48):
he got one hundred eighty two minutes. And that is
the company saying. When they do that, it's the company's
way of saying, you're the guy, You're the face of
the franchise. In fact, we're gonna put your in the hallway.
It's like here at the Premiere Networks, there's a fifth
floor where they have a lot of the the big
shots are and they have portraits of the people they
(07:11):
like a lot at the company. And fortunately I'm not
up there, so I don't have to worry about that.
But they have they have billboards and things for all
the big stars they like. And that's what the forty
nine ers did. When you give one hundred and eighty
two million dollars. You're saying, hey, we're gonna get a
portrait up there. We love you in the hallway. That's
the way we do it. It also means that Kyle
Shanahan is his balls are being held by the forty
(07:35):
nine or front officer. You cannot bench brock Party without
triggering a call from ownership ring ring. Yeah it's Kyle Shanahan. Yeah, yeah,
it's the owner of the Niners. Yeah, what do you want? Yeah, So,
why are we paying this guy one hundred and eighty
two million and now you've benched him for let me
check my notes, Rock Party.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, and that's it. So but money in any.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Line of work, money dictates the pecking order. And that's
the rub here, right, That's always the rub in these conversations.
The more money you make, the more haunted this situation becomes.
Every and we assume brock Perty's gonna be back. There's
chance he plays this week against Tampa Bay. But brock Party,
(08:21):
every incompletion, every fumble, every interception, every bad drive that
doesn't result in points, you've got the ghostly goblin. The
ghostly goblin named Mac Jones, the boogeyman who's on the
sidelines like a haunted heel, a monster walking around the
(08:43):
sidelines there and it's like, hey, I'm available, and you
can practically hear him breathing right behind brock Purty's headset.
Remember me, I'm here, sucker, I'm here, you sucker. And
so mac Joe's he looked comfortable. It was the Rams
(09:05):
weren't really into it the first half. So it's small
sample size all that. But you keep going back to
Shanahan's system and very similar to what Mac had in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
And so he did well in college, he did well
in the NFL with it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Rudimentary passing, offense, play action, rhythm throws, not a lot
of chaos, not a lot of decisions that have.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
To be made.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And meanwhile brock Perty's you know, he's out there pressing,
trying to justify that massive contract. And so you've got
the insider crowd that are getting fed information by the
teams like Adam Schefter, who can say there's no controversy here,
there's no contract. But this has office drama written all
over it, whether it's at the very front or in
(09:50):
the back. Here it's like a bad episode of that
show The Office back in the day, and you've got
Kyle Shanahan is Michael Scott, You've got Brock Purdy who's
gym and then Mac Jones is the new guy from
corporate that everyone pretends to like but secretly doesn't really like.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And they've got some issues with the new guy. And
so it's that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And again I go back to it, one interception, loss,
failed drive and things get very awkward, very very awkward.
And so yeah, shifting is technically correct at the moment.
It's a cold brew, not a warm brew. That there's
no controversy at the very front of the line. But
(10:38):
you can feel there's some static in the air. You
can almost smell the skunk in the air, like we
smell here at the Holload studios of Fox Sports Raita.
That's skunked in the air. There's poltergeist out there. You
can smell it. Yeah, that smells good on it. And
that's some thick skunk. That's a well fed skunk right there. Yes,
but in the quarnerback room, and I think that cort
(10:58):
the number ten Mac Jones, I think so, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Now, secondly to the Valley of the Sun.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
We go to the Valley of the Sun and we
have coach player drama orama. I'm in for that. I'm
in for that. Coach player drama rama. The Cardinals, who
self conbusted very impressive against the worst team in the
NFL by any statistical measurement, the team from Tennessee, not
the Jets, the Tennessee Titans considered worse than the Jets.
(11:24):
And somehow the Cardinals at home blew a twenty one
to three lead against the worst team in football in
the fourth quarter, and it was you get a turnover,
you get a turnover. You get a turnover, you get
a turnover. So head coach Jonathan Gannon has gone viral.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
What did he do well?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
The clip of the Arizona coach Jonathan Gannon who got
into the face of Amari de Mercado, the running back
for the Cardinals. He's the one that had that long run.
He broke the cardinal rule. Wink wink, cardinal rule of football.
Had a seventy yard touchdown run, except it wasn't a
(12:05):
touchdown because as he was crossing the goal line, he
decided that he did not need to hold on to
possession of the ball and he fumbled the ball before
he crossed the goal line, and that would have sealed
the wind for the Cardinals. Instead, it opened the door
for the team from Tennessee to come back. Now on
(12:26):
the sidelines after the play, there was some viral video,
the meltdown continued. You had Gannon went over to de Mercado,
the running back, and smacked him on the side, yelled
at him for a few minutes, and kind of smacked
him on the side. Of course, the people that are
very sensitive about this.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh my god, this is the worst thing ever. Oh
my god, that's what they sound like.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
So they were all upset, and that led to one
of the more awkward apologies. This is an NFL had
You didn't know his name because he's the coach of
the Cardinals and they're barely an NFL team. But here's
Jonathan Gannon doing the walk of shame because his player
cost his team the game, and he dared get in
the player's face and kind of smack him on the side.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Tail list, I woke up this morning and didn't feel
great about it, honestly, and I just saw the team meeting.
I addressed it. I apologize to ol Mar, apologize to
the team, and I just told him I kind of
let the moment of what happened get the better of
me there, obviously, Like I try to be emotionally stable
(13:35):
and calm because my job is to solve problems when
during a game and kind of lead the charge on that.
So it's not really who I am who I want
to be. And I told the guys that today. So
it's a mistake by me. And it's just like everybody
in there, everybody made us some type of mistake yesterday,
(13:55):
which is, you know, call me in as to why
we didn't win the game and we can't let it
up and moving forward.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Huh. Trying to stay awake here. He's not helping. That's
a leader of men, that's a football Oh my god,
holy crap.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
All right, So question, should Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon, the
guy that hopefully you didn't drive off the road listen
to him talk? Should Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon have apologized
for his sideline emotion and his bumpity bump on the sidelines.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
So let's play wheel of fortune? And yeah, all right,
so can I.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I'd like to get an N and can I buy
an Oh, I'd like to buy an oh, and we'll
put those together.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
No, In fact, if I own the Cardinals, I would
fire a Gannon, not because they lost the game, because
of his response to the video. I would fire Jonathan
Gannon if I own the Cardinals. Your job is to
prevent mistakes. Your job also is to sit there and
do whoever that was? That was pathetic, Absolutely pathetic. And
(15:06):
if you're unable and unwilling to hold players accountable when
they cost your team games, then you're not the right
man fit to coach a team period.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Stop and Gannon.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Tapped out you know with that response, he also tapped
a guy on the arm.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Wasn't the This was not.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Back in the day at Ohio State or Indiana some
of the famous coaches there, Woody Hayes or Bobby Knight
going full bonkers.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
It was.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
It was not that. And you yelled.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
As a coach at the player who literally gif wrap
the win in in a little box. For the Tennessee Titans,
you blew a twenty one to three lead. I don't
know how you slept that night. Twenty one to three lead.
You allowed cam Ward, who had done nothing the entire game,
to light you up in the fourth quarter. You turn
the ball over three times, a bunch of practice squad receivers,
bunch of rejects, flotsam and jetsam, and your coach is
(15:59):
more upset about hurt feelings.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Let me get out of here, please, please get out here.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Agannon should have sent de Mercado to the locker room
in a petty wagon. Okay, chain to a petty wagon,
not a time out, not a wrist slap, none of
that stuff. A police escort out of the building, and
we'll send you the box of your stuff. That was
not a fumble, right, that's not a fun That was
(16:26):
more than a fumble. That was premature razzle dazzle. He
was more worried about putting on a show with the
razzle dazzle than he was finishing the play. And he
ended up being booby trapped by trying to go viral
dancing after scoring a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And you cannot do that. The week a week I
saw it in person, first time I ever seen this
in person.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I was at the Colts Rams game and some dope,
some dingleberry on the Colts to the same thing, and
so it was it went viral and you did the
same exact drop it at the goal line. Move that
same fiasco a week later. Dumb dumb, dumb, dumb, proving
our hypothesis that football players aren't actually football fans, that
(17:10):
football players don't watch football, most of them don't. And
I hold the damn ball through the end zone. You
should only be able to celebrate when you're near the
goal post in the back of the end zone. Football
one to one. But yet again, like this. We don't
talk about the Cardinals much because they're the Cardinals, but
this is the modern NFL Arizona Cardinals. It's got a
(17:33):
team that's more worried about being influencers and gamers. Shout
out Kyler Murray and TikTok content creators that just happen
to play football on Sunday. Now, my favorite part, my
favorite part is that people have been ripping Gaining the coach.
They've been ripping him all year because he's very stoic
(17:55):
on the sidelines and he's kind of a statue there
and they're like, what's going on. He's too quiet, who's
too mellow, He's too emotionless, and even in his apology
he sounded very sluggish, very sleepy, and so finally here
he is. He shows a little emotion on the sidelines,
and what happens He apologizes for it the next day.
(18:19):
You can't make this up, of course, he does. You apologize.
You just did the thing people wanted you to do.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
It.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Now you're apologizing for it.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
And it's the most self conscious, like football coaching move
you can possibly do. Instead of doubling down, which is
what you should have done. Like, listen, as long as
I'm the coach, we're not going to allow this. And
if you do that, I'm gonna get in your face
because that's what coaching is, and that player will be
fired because I can get a running back. I can
go down to the train station and get a running back.
(18:48):
They're easily replaced.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
That's it. And so instead of doubling down, which is
what he should have done.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
He's like, eh, you know, my bad. I say no,
I do it again. Tough is not toxic. It's not toxic.
There dropping the football the goal line is toxic. Now
my advice, Jonathan Gannett, I recommend he visited Express Employment Professionals.
Now why should he visit Express Employment Professionals? Go to
(19:16):
the app because that is where you can put your
resume up and get a new job, because you're gonna
need a new job.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
It's like put on there. Yeah, Hi, my name is Jonathan.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I led the NFL and fourth quarter implosions, and I'm
looking for something in customer service. Boom done. Yeah, and
then they'll last. But do you do you work well
under pressure?
Speaker 6 (19:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I don't, No, not really. But I apologize when I
screw up.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I do apologize, all right. Final thought to Miami, we
go quickly.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
The Dolphins are sitting at one and four and they
just gagged a giant fur ball that cuffed up of
fur ball. Lost a seventeen to nothing lead to a
absolute dog food roster in Carolina. Worst star for the
Dolphins since twenty nineteen. I was barely alive in twenty nineteen.
Owner Stephen Ross is steaming mad. He's a Michigan man
(20:09):
and very angry. Mike McDaniel, the dufust coach of the
Dolphins is he's in the lab there. He's talking about
process and execution and.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
All that stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Met with the owner said, everyone's upset, everyone's frustrated. So question,
what is the long term forecast for coach Mike McDaniel
in Miami so if you look at the old Farmer's
Almanac on this one, and I've not seen this forecast before,
it says right here in the Farmers' Almanac fishfry that
(20:43):
that is the long term forecast fishfry.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
And so he's on borrow time. He was already on
borrow time.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
McDaniel is the guest who showed up to the party
three or four years ago and he spilled the guacamole
the all over the sofa, but he still won't leave.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
That's McDaniel. And this is a like a tech startup
type operation.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
He's the coach of a tech startup and he's building
a culture like he's in northern California, not coaching a
football team in South Florida. And he's one more collapse,
one more collaps, Mike McDaniel, one more collapse away from
being one of.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
The barstool bros.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Couldn't you see him doing a podcast with John Gruden
and call it grid Iron Gummies side by side right there.
McDaniel could do live reads for ayahuasca and vending machines.
I think getting to that, and why are they not
ayahuasca vending machines use the code McDaniel twenty twenty percent
off and your Road to Enlightenment and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And why not.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Meanwhile, Stephen Ross, the owner who's on borrowed time, not
getting any younger, right, none of us are.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And he's the billionaire.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I think he's a real estate guy and he's used
to building giant buildings and skyscrapers and all that. And
the Dolphin franchise is on a death spiral at this point.
And once the owner of the coach are chit chatting
about mutual frustration, generally, that is a telltale sign.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
A day give way. The end is near, the end
is in near, and we're still friends, but we're just
not going to work together anymore.
Speaker 2 (22:18):

Angel Reese's eyelashes from Slunk Granny panties from Eke and Roseville,
Minnesota Malcolman Mike says she refused to wear Caitlin Clark
a customized noseguard mandated by.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
The w NBA.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
That's fun to hear from our friend, Milkman. Mike Jt
the Wingman says, a jockstrap. The answer Colt forty five
from Atillo gives the Gabba gool. She needs the gobba gool.
There you go, all right, donut from far out Day
with a special flavor.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
All right, do you have an answer, Lorraine?
Speaker 8 (26:22):
Yes, there have been a few gifts to my days
that I'm like, I'm not gonna use this, Like this
really ugly scarf sweater set that my grandma got me
when I was younger. It never came out of the box.
So I'm gonna go with a scarf sweater set.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Ben, But your grandma loved that though. She probably had
one of those, right, Yeah, she probably did.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
No, that's incorrect. The correct answer, turns out, Kaitlin Clark was.
She went to the Colts game. She was given a
Colt jersey. She refused to wear it because she's a
Chiefs fan. I'm not wearing that cult jersey. Let's go
to Scott in the Commonwealth. Hello, Scott, welcome.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Hey, Then Lorena doing Dame.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
If I was any better, I would be a Red Sox,
but not a Boston Red Sox because they're not in
the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Yeah, they got dumped, okay, and the people that beat
them are getting dumped.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Well, tonight's supposed to be eight right, this is the
Yankees lose. It's all over, turn out the last the
parties over.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Okay, So I have a comment. I want to tell
you my favorite Ben Male fun fact you ever did.
And I have a question, Rope, all.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Right, I love that I talk to you first.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
All right, well I'll make it all about me. Uh okay, Well,
first I learned that from Tom Yes, go.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Ahead, okay, the best one. It was just reason how
does Beon spell his name? And it's funny because lorena
are the last answer or a couple of minutes ago.
You know, Nolan McDonald had a farm. It was like Dion.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, we learned that was the great On.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Sanders revealed he had been living a lie his entire life,
that his name was actually spelled differently.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
He changed on his own. He just decided to change
his name.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
That's as good a story as the Adam Carolla story,
where Adam caroll I just didn't have a middle name.
And he went down to the DMV and they you know,
you get your driver's license and you have to come
up with the middle name. And so he put like
Lakers as his middle name on his driver's license and
do that. Nobody checked, but I don't know if they
checked out. They didn't check then, so it just made
(28:30):
it up on the on the spot.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Well to your point, then, yes, here in here in
the Conwealthy, he used to be the again. Its title
is Francis X Folate. Okay, he was like the I
don't know he had a title in the state. He
was not the governor, but whatever. But the X stood
for that's where you put the X next to my name.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Oh, that's great, that's great. That's like Homer Jay Simpson
on the Simpsons. The Jay is just Jay. There's no
name there. It's Homer j. Simpsons. I bet you, I
bet you. They stole that from your guy in the Commonwealth, Scott.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
What if Jay is short for jets No, but he
just said. On the Simpsons they said what's Jay?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Sam? But they did an episode and they determined it
was just Jay, nothing other than the letter J. So
now what do you what do you have for Lorena?
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Okay? One last quick thing on the Simpsons? Why was
Millhouse named Millhouse after? Who? You should know this. You're
a smart guy, You're gonna know this.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Well.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I have the character of Millhouse.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, what's the was I do not know. I have
not watched The Simpsons in a while. What is the answer.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
I'm surprised. Okay, Richard Millhouse, Nick, oh there you go.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay, yeah, I could have figured that out. I could
have figured that.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
All right, So Lorena you ready, mm hmm okay, you
do an excellent job. Here's my question for you. I'm
not putting you on the spot. If you don't want
to answer, you don't have to say to say so.
If you're if you're the engineer on a nationally syndicated
show over six six current thirty markets, how many people
(30:08):
did you be out for this job?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Two? Yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
The sad part is I'm the most qualified.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
You should see who who else was in the running?
My god, we actually we actually went down to the store.
There was a mannequin in the in the display case,
and we had that they.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
Were in the right one of the homeless people come
in and try.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yes, but they couldn't stay off the fentanyl, so we
had to leave him outside. But yes, all right, well,
thank you, Scott, appreciate that. All right, there was a shot.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I believe.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Let's say hello to Mike, who's in Washington. I still
need some contestants. If we don't get anybody here, we're
not going to play the game. So if you want
us to play the game, mallards mount the money, call

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Hello, Mike, Welcome, what's going on? Like you're Washington? Welcome?
Speaker 9 (30:58):

time I've ever called you. I've called Bernie before. I
love I love hearing your drop of our disgraced minor celebrity.

beating their chest when they do something successful. And I'm
hoping that we're going to get a video of Lorena

You might, you might. That would be great.

Speaker 10 (31:46):

Speaker 10 (32:05):
We're going to be coessimistic till they prove something. And
the other thing was, it's kind of interesting this thing
about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. In that song that
she wrote, there's a little known fact that only some
people here in Seattle knew about, which was that Russell
(32:26):
Wilson's wife, Sierra who Siarra, who was a singer of
much less note than Taylor Swift. She also did a
song about Russell Wilson. It didn't get as much attention
because of course she's not the celebrity Taylor Swift is.
(32:49):
But she also noted something personal about Russell Wilson. But
she called them the bonzeie.
Speaker 1 (32:57):

Speaker 1 (01:33):
We are in.
Speaker 2 (01:34):

powerful microphones of fs are ammating live from the game,
(01:56):
playing the blame game under the cover of darkness from

Speaker 1 (02:37):
The way that tire buying show.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Be so our lead this hour is from San Francisco.
If you look at your standings now the top seed
in the NFC after five weeks the forty nine ers
bounce back season. They have the drama Orama, which is
good for talk radio purposes. So follow up to the
(03:04):
last week. Last Thursday, Mac Jones keeping up with the Joneses.
Mac Jones went out there and he was cooking with
gas against the Rams in the first half. And so
what do you think happened over the weekend? Well, Nighters
didn't play. However, the radio chatter picked up. Yeah, a
lot of chirping, a lot of chirping. So if you
(03:24):
didn't hear the latest on this, maybe not Shifty better
known as Adam Schefter.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
He tells us he came out and said no.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
He says, I'm When asked about the possibility of mac
Jones continuing on as the long term option the quarterback,
he says, no, I still think absolutely brock Perty's job.
It's brock Perty's job. I don't even think it's a question.
Close quote. Well, maybe it's not a question, but it's
definitely a conversation. We're having one right now on the radio,
(03:54):
so it is a conversation. So let us discuss the question,
do we have the ingredients for a quarterback controversy Bruin
between Brock Purty and Mac Jones by the bay. So
I've got ghostly Goblin, we have a fortune and in
(04:15):
honor of Andrea the Old Farmer's Almanac, because there's a
full moon.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Going on right now. So we'll combine all these things.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Together and we're gonna make the Baba ganoosh is what
We're gonna make.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Delicious Baba ganoosh, I know, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So first of all, Mac Jones he walked into Kyle
Shanahan's cubicle, just work with me on this. He dropped
down a Manila folder in the cartoon bubble in my head,
put down round the table and he said, I'm back, baby,
I'm back. And then Shannon said, well you were never
(04:49):
that good, but I'm back. And that has made things
uncomfortable for the Golden Boys. So it's not brewing in
terms of hot coffee. It's more of a old brew.
It's a cold Bru's office. Politics is what's going on
right now, and that's the issue. See, Brock Party is
going to be seeing ghosts, not like Sam Darnold, but
(05:12):
he's going to be seeing ghosts like it's like a
Halloween rerun of the sixth Sense. It's a full on
hr nightmare for the Niners because the Niners did the thing.
They can't do it at the time. They can't do it.
We told them not to do it. They didn't listen
to us. Who doesn't listen to overnight talk radio. Bad
job by them, and that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You've got brock Purty, who was the upstart feeld good story,
mister irrelevant, the last pick in the draft, overachieving intern
who gets promoted. He's the vice president now of the
company and now he's getting side eyed by the new
guy who's got the corner office, but he's just kind
(05:52):
of temporarily in the corner office. It's not really his office.
And mac Jones now he is the disgruntled transfer in
this little an area. Okay, we're writing, we're writing a play.
So he's the discrunter transfer. He comes from the branch
of the company that's in the northeast of New England
and he shows up and just like, where did this
guy come from? He just starts crushing it and his
(06:13):
presentation was amazing. It's like wow, and people like whispering.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Around the water cooler.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
They're having conversations and they're like, wow, this do you
see this Mac Jones guy, what he did to the
Rams in the first half of that game.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You're like, oh, yeah, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And of course the wrecking ball, the wrecking ball is
in the break room. That is the contract. See, that's
the reason this is a cold brew and not a
warm brew. Rock Party, for reasons only the Niners can explain,
was given a one hundred and eighty two million dollar contract.
There is nothing special that Rock Purty does, and yet
(06:48):
he got one hundred eighty two minutes. And that is
the company saying. When they do that, it's the company's
way of saying, you're the guy, You're the face of
the franchise. In fact, we're gonna put your in the hallway.
It's like here at the Premiere Networks, there's a fifth
floor where they have a lot of the the big
shots are and they have portraits of the people they
(07:11):
like a lot at the company. And fortunately I'm not
up there, so I don't have to worry about that.
But they have they have billboards and things for all
the big stars they like. And that's what the forty
nine ers did. When you give one hundred and eighty
two million dollars. You're saying, hey, we're gonna get a
portrait up there. We love you in the hallway. That's
the way we do it. It also means that Kyle
Shanahan is his balls are being held by the forty
(07:35):
nine or front officer. You cannot bench brock Party without
triggering a call from ownership ring ring. Yeah it's Kyle Shanahan. Yeah, yeah,
it's the owner of the Niners. Yeah, what do you want? Yeah, So,
why are we paying this guy one hundred and eighty
two million and now you've benched him for let me
check my notes, Rock Party.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, and that's it. So but money in any.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Line of work, money dictates the pecking order. And that's
the rub here, right, That's always the rub in these conversations.
The more money you make, the more haunted this situation becomes.
Every and we assume brock Perty's gonna be back. There's
chance he plays this week against Tampa Bay. But brock Party,
(08:21):
every incompletion, every fumble, every interception, every bad drive that
doesn't result in points, you've got the ghostly goblin. The
ghostly goblin named Mac Jones, the boogeyman who's on the
sidelines like a haunted heel, a monster walking around the
(08:43):
sidelines there and it's like, hey, I'm available, and you
can practically hear him breathing right behind brock Purty's headset.
Remember me, I'm here, sucker, I'm here, you sucker. And
so mac Joe's he looked comfortable. It was the Rams
(09:05):
weren't really into it the first half. So it's small
sample size all that. But you keep going back to
Shanahan's system and very similar to what Mac had in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
And so he did well in college, he did well
in the NFL with it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Rudimentary passing, offense, play action, rhythm throws, not a lot
of chaos, not a lot of decisions that have.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
To be made.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And meanwhile brock Perty's you know, he's out there pressing,
trying to justify that massive contract. And so you've got
the insider crowd that are getting fed information by the
teams like Adam Schefter, who can say there's no controversy here,
there's no contract. But this has office drama written all
over it, whether it's at the very front or in
(09:50):
the back. Here it's like a bad episode of that
show The Office back in the day, and you've got
Kyle Shanahan is Michael Scott, You've got Brock Purdy who's
gym and then Mac Jones is the new guy from
corporate that everyone pretends to like but secretly doesn't really like.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And they've got some issues with the new guy. And
so it's that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And again I go back to it, one interception, loss,
failed drive and things get very awkward, very very awkward.
And so yeah, shifting is technically correct at the moment.
It's a cold brew, not a warm brew. That there's
no controversy at the very front of the line. But
(10:38):
you can feel there's some static in the air. You
can almost smell the skunk in the air, like we
smell here at the Holload studios of Fox Sports Raita.
That's skunked in the air. There's poltergeist out there. You
can smell it. Yeah, that smells good on it. And
that's some thick skunk. That's a well fed skunk right there. Yes,
but in the quarnerback room, and I think that cort
(10:58):
the number ten Mac Jones, I think so, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Now, secondly to the Valley of the Sun.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
We go to the Valley of the Sun and we
have coach player drama orama. I'm in for that. I'm
in for that. Coach player drama rama. The Cardinals, who
self conbusted very impressive against the worst team in the
NFL by any statistical measurement, the team from Tennessee, not
the Jets, the Tennessee Titans considered worse than the Jets.
(11:24):
And somehow the Cardinals at home blew a twenty one
to three lead against the worst team in football in
the fourth quarter, and it was you get a turnover,
you get a turnover. You get a turnover, you get
a turnover. So head coach Jonathan Gannon has gone viral.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
What did he do well?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
The clip of the Arizona coach Jonathan Gannon who got
into the face of Amari de Mercado, the running back
for the Cardinals. He's the one that had that long run.
He broke the cardinal rule. Wink wink, cardinal rule of football.
Had a seventy yard touchdown run, except it wasn't a
(12:05):
touchdown because as he was crossing the goal line, he
decided that he did not need to hold on to
possession of the ball and he fumbled the ball before
he crossed the goal line, and that would have sealed
the wind for the Cardinals. Instead, it opened the door
for the team from Tennessee to come back. Now on
(12:26):
the sidelines after the play, there was some viral video,
the meltdown continued. You had Gannon went over to de Mercado,
the running back, and smacked him on the side, yelled
at him for a few minutes, and kind of smacked
him on the side. Of course, the people that are
very sensitive about this.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh my god, this is the worst thing ever. Oh
my god, that's what they sound like.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
So they were all upset, and that led to one
of the more awkward apologies. This is an NFL had
You didn't know his name because he's the coach of
the Cardinals and they're barely an NFL team. But here's
Jonathan Gannon doing the walk of shame because his player
cost his team the game, and he dared get in
the player's face and kind of smack him on the side.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Tail list, I woke up this morning and didn't feel
great about it, honestly, and I just saw the team meeting.
I addressed it. I apologize to ol Mar, apologize to
the team, and I just told him I kind of
let the moment of what happened get the better of
me there, obviously, Like I try to be emotionally stable
(13:35):
and calm because my job is to solve problems when
during a game and kind of lead the charge on that.
So it's not really who I am who I want
to be. And I told the guys that today. So
it's a mistake by me. And it's just like everybody
in there, everybody made us some type of mistake yesterday,
(13:55):
which is, you know, call me in as to why
we didn't win the game and we can't let it
up and moving forward.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Huh. Trying to stay awake here. He's not helping. That's
a leader of men, that's a football Oh my god,
holy crap.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
All right, So question, should Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon, the
guy that hopefully you didn't drive off the road listen
to him talk? Should Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon have apologized
for his sideline emotion and his bumpity bump on the sidelines.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
So let's play wheel of fortune? And yeah, all right,
so can I.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I'd like to get an N and can I buy
an Oh, I'd like to buy an oh, and we'll
put those together.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
No, In fact, if I own the Cardinals, I would
fire a Gannon, not because they lost the game, because
of his response to the video. I would fire Jonathan
Gannon if I own the Cardinals. Your job is to
prevent mistakes. Your job also is to sit there and
do whoever that was? That was pathetic, Absolutely pathetic. And
(15:06):
if you're unable and unwilling to hold players accountable when
they cost your team games, then you're not the right
man fit to coach a team period.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Stop and Gannon.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Tapped out you know with that response, he also tapped
a guy on the arm.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Wasn't the This was not.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Back in the day at Ohio State or Indiana some
of the famous coaches there, Woody Hayes or Bobby Knight
going full bonkers.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
It was.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
It was not that. And you yelled.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
As a coach at the player who literally gif wrap
the win in in a little box. For the Tennessee Titans,
you blew a twenty one to three lead. I don't
know how you slept that night. Twenty one to three lead.
You allowed cam Ward, who had done nothing the entire game,
to light you up in the fourth quarter. You turn
the ball over three times, a bunch of practice squad receivers,
bunch of rejects, flotsam and jetsam, and your coach is
(15:59):
more upset about hurt feelings.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Let me get out of here, please, please get out here.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Agannon should have sent de Mercado to the locker room
in a petty wagon. Okay, chain to a petty wagon,
not a time out, not a wrist slap, none of
that stuff. A police escort out of the building, and
we'll send you the box of your stuff. That was
not a fumble, right, that's not a fun That was
(16:26):
more than a fumble. That was premature razzle dazzle. He
was more worried about putting on a show with the
razzle dazzle than he was finishing the play. And he
ended up being booby trapped by trying to go viral
dancing after scoring a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And you cannot do that. The week a week I
saw it in person, first time I ever seen this
in person.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I was at the Colts Rams game and some dope,
some dingleberry on the Colts to the same thing, and
so it was it went viral and you did the
same exact drop it at the goal line. Move that
same fiasco a week later. Dumb dumb, dumb, dumb, proving
our hypothesis that football players aren't actually football fans, that
(17:10):
football players don't watch football, most of them don't. And
I hold the damn ball through the end zone. You
should only be able to celebrate when you're near the
goal post in the back of the end zone. Football
one to one. But yet again, like this. We don't
talk about the Cardinals much because they're the Cardinals, but
this is the modern NFL Arizona Cardinals. It's got a
(17:33):
team that's more worried about being influencers and gamers. Shout
out Kyler Murray and TikTok content creators that just happen
to play football on Sunday. Now, my favorite part, my
favorite part is that people have been ripping Gaining the coach.
They've been ripping him all year because he's very stoic
(17:55):
on the sidelines and he's kind of a statue there
and they're like, what's going on. He's too quiet, who's
too mellow, He's too emotionless, and even in his apology
he sounded very sluggish, very sleepy, and so finally here
he is. He shows a little emotion on the sidelines,
and what happens He apologizes for it the next day.
(18:19):
You can't make this up, of course, he does. You apologize.
You just did the thing people wanted you to do.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
It.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Now you're apologizing for it.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
And it's the most self conscious, like football coaching move
you can possibly do. Instead of doubling down, which is
what you should have done. Like, listen, as long as
I'm the coach, we're not going to allow this. And
if you do that, I'm gonna get in your face
because that's what coaching is, and that player will be
fired because I can get a running back. I can
go down to the train station and get a running back.
(18:48):
They're easily replaced.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
That's it. And so instead of doubling down, which is
what he should have done.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
He's like, eh, you know, my bad. I say no,
I do it again. Tough is not toxic. It's not toxic.
There dropping the football the goal line is toxic. Now
my advice, Jonathan Gannett, I recommend he visited Express Employment Professionals.
Now why should he visit Express Employment Professionals? Go to
(19:16):
the app because that is where you can put your
resume up and get a new job, because you're gonna
need a new job.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
It's like put on there. Yeah, Hi, my name is Jonathan.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I led the NFL and fourth quarter implosions, and I'm
looking for something in customer service. Boom done. Yeah, and
then they'll last. But do you do you work well
under pressure?
Speaker 6 (19:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I don't, No, not really. But I apologize when I
screw up.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I do apologize, all right. Final thought to Miami, we
go quickly.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
The Dolphins are sitting at one and four and they
just gagged a giant fur ball that cuffed up of
fur ball. Lost a seventeen to nothing lead to a
absolute dog food roster in Carolina. Worst star for the
Dolphins since twenty nineteen. I was barely alive in twenty nineteen.
Owner Stephen Ross is steaming mad. He's a Michigan man
(20:09):
and very angry. Mike McDaniel, the dufust coach of the
Dolphins is he's in the lab there. He's talking about
process and execution and.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
All that stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Met with the owner said, everyone's upset, everyone's frustrated. So question,
what is the long term forecast for coach Mike McDaniel
in Miami so if you look at the old Farmer's
Almanac on this one, and I've not seen this forecast before,
it says right here in the Farmers' Almanac fishfry that
(20:43):
that is the long term forecast fishfry.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
And so he's on borrow time. He was already on
borrow time.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
McDaniel is the guest who showed up to the party
three or four years ago and he spilled the guacamole
the all over the sofa, but he still won't leave.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
That's McDaniel. And this is a like a tech startup
type operation.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
He's the coach of a tech startup and he's building
a culture like he's in northern California, not coaching a
football team in South Florida. And he's one more collapse,
one more collaps, Mike McDaniel, one more collapse away from
being one of.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
The barstool bros.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Couldn't you see him doing a podcast with John Gruden
and call it grid Iron Gummies side by side right there.
McDaniel could do live reads for ayahuasca and vending machines.
I think getting to that, and why are they not
ayahuasca vending machines use the code McDaniel twenty twenty percent
off and your Road to Enlightenment and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And why not.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Meanwhile, Stephen Ross, the owner who's on borrowed time, not
getting any younger, right, none of us are.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And he's the billionaire.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I think he's a real estate guy and he's used
to building giant buildings and skyscrapers and all that. And
the Dolphin franchise is on a death spiral at this point.
And once the owner of the coach are chit chatting
about mutual frustration, generally, that is a telltale sign.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
A day give way. The end is near, the end
is in near, and we're still friends, but we're just
not going to work together anymore.
Speaker 2 (22:18):

All right, do you have an answer, Lorraine?
Speaker 8 (26:22):
Yes, there have been a few gifts to my days
that I'm like, I'm not gonna use this, Like this
really ugly scarf sweater set that my grandma got me
when I was younger. It never came out of the box.
So I'm gonna go with a scarf sweater set.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Ben, But your grandma loved that though. She probably had
one of those, right, Yeah, she probably did.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
No, that's incorrect. The correct answer, turns out, Kaitlin Clark was.
She went to the Colts game. She was given a
Colt jersey. She refused to wear it because she's a
Chiefs fan. I'm not wearing that cult jersey. Let's go
to Scott in the Commonwealth. Hello, Scott, welcome.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Hey, Then Lorena doing Dame.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
If I was any better, I would be a Red Sox,
but not a Boston Red Sox because they're not in
the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Yeah, they got dumped, okay, and the people that beat
them are getting dumped.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Well, tonight's supposed to be eight right, this is the
Yankees lose. It's all over, turn out the last the
parties over.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Okay, So I have a comment. I want to tell
you my favorite Ben Male fun fact you ever did.
And I have a question, Rope, all.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Right, I love that I talk to you first.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
All right, well I'll make it all about me. Uh okay, Well,
first I learned that from Tom Yes, go.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Ahead, okay, the best one. It was just reason how
does Beon spell his name? And it's funny because lorena
are the last answer or a couple of minutes ago.
You know, Nolan McDonald had a farm. It was like Dion.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, we learned that was the great On.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Sanders revealed he had been living a lie his entire life,
that his name was actually spelled differently.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
He changed on his own. He just decided to change
his name.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
That's as good a story as the Adam Carolla story,
where Adam caroll I just didn't have a middle name.
And he went down to the DMV and they you know,
you get your driver's license and you have to come
up with the middle name. And so he put like
Lakers as his middle name on his driver's license and
do that. Nobody checked, but I don't know if they
checked out. They didn't check then, so it just made
(28:30):
it up on the on the spot.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Well to your point, then, yes, here in here in
the Conwealthy, he used to be the again. Its title
is Francis X Folate. Okay, he was like the I
don't know he had a title in the state. He
was not the governor, but whatever. But the X stood
for that's where you put the X next to my name.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Oh, that's great, that's great. That's like Homer Jay Simpson
on the Simpsons. The Jay is just Jay. There's no
name there. It's Homer j. Simpsons. I bet you, I
bet you. They stole that from your guy in the Commonwealth, Scott.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
What if Jay is short for jets No, but he
just said. On the Simpsons they said what's Jay?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Sam? But they did an episode and they determined it
was just Jay, nothing other than the letter J. So
now what do you what do you have for Lorena?
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Okay? One last quick thing on the Simpsons? Why was
Millhouse named Millhouse after? Who? You should know this. You're
a smart guy, You're gonna know this.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Well.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I have the character of Millhouse.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, what's the was I do not know. I have
not watched The Simpsons in a while. What is the answer.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
I'm surprised. Okay, Richard Millhouse, Nick, oh there you go.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay, yeah, I could have figured that out. I could
have figured that.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
All right, So Lorena you ready, mm hmm okay, you
do an excellent job. Here's my question for you. I'm
not putting you on the spot. If you don't want
to answer, you don't have to say to say so.
If you're if you're the engineer on a nationally syndicated
show over six six current thirty markets, how many people
(30:08):
did you be out for this job?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Two? Yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
The sad part is I'm the most qualified.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
You should see who who else was in the running?
My god, we actually we actually went down to the store.
There was a mannequin in the in the display case,
and we had that they.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
Were in the right one of the homeless people come
in and try.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yes, but they couldn't stay off the fentanyl, so we
had to leave him outside. But yes, all right, well,
thank you, Scott, appreciate that. All right, there was a shot.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I believe.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Let's say hello to Mike, who's in Washington. I still
need some contestants. If we don't get anybody here, we're
not going to play the game. So if you want
us to play the game, mallards mount the money, call
right now eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Hello, Mike, Welcome, what's going on? Like you're Washington? Welcome?
Speaker 9 (30:58):
Hey, great talking to you. I think it's the first
time I've ever called you. I've called Bernie before. I
love I love hearing your drop of our disgraced minor celebrity.
We'll do it live host from Seattle here and I'll ride.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
We'll do it live.
Speaker 10 (31:20):
I love your new promo about your on air personalities
beating their chest when they do something successful. And I'm
hoping that we're going to get a video of Lorena
doing that.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
And well, you follow her on Instagram, you might get that.
You might, you might. That would be great.
Speaker 10 (31:37):
Yeah, I'm hoping that our mariners are going to do
something other than crap their pants.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
And the rest of this series said, what's.
Speaker 10 (31:46):
In their very first game. I'm originally from Seattle, had
to move out of the sets pool about four years
ago to the other side of the mountains. But I
hope that they give me something to have faith in.
Again yea for these next few.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Games, sports fan, they don't hope, they don't craf.
Speaker 10 (32:05):
We're going to be coessimistic till they prove something. And
the other thing was, it's kind of interesting this thing
about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. In that song that
she wrote, there's a little known fact that only some
people here in Seattle knew about, which was that Russell
(32:26):
Wilson's wife, Sierra who Siarra, who was a singer of
much less note than Taylor Swift. She also did a
song about Russell Wilson. It didn't get as much attention
because of course she's not the celebrity Taylor Swift is.
(32:49):
But she also noted something personal about Russell Wilson. But
she called them the bonzeie.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Oh like a bonzie tree.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Isn't that tiny?
Speaker 10 (33:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
All right, but I'm bob. There you go.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
All right, Well you can you can shape for your
joke night blame Joe, all right, well you thank you. Uh,
there you go, our buddy Mike, one of Bernie's callers.
Speaker 10 (33:15):
Crawled, man, you can call me nobody, all right.
