Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding Dong, It is a stroll in the park. In
our number two of the Ben Mathers Show, Happy Thursday
to you. And here in hour number two, Tua tongue
of Bi Loa says he is not not playing to
keep his QB one job with the Dolphins. Do you
believe him? Also, how would you describe Kirk Cousin's time

(00:23):
with the Falcons? They were unable to trade him, which
I do believe is the worst case scenario for the
Atlanta football team. So we'll discuss just how big a
mistake that was. Also, why should anybody care about the
Rams signing kicker Harrison Nevis to the practice squad? Practice

(00:46):
not a game, not a game. We in here talking
about practice. We'll talk about all of that. And also
Mallard to the third degree right here here it is
our number two. You can chew on this well. Come
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere with somewhat incoherent talk

(01:11):
as we are on the Hampshire Wheel, round and round
and round and round. We go coast to coast, border
the border and beyond on the vast and blisteringly powerful
microphones of fsre emminating live from the Bonanza, the Bonanza
of Banter, the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as

(01:34):
approved by Rick oh Rick has his knee pads on.
He's got one purple knee pad, one gold knee pad.

(03:05):
At DraftKings. The crown is yours and our lead this
hour from South Florida, the home of Billy. Better known
in this show is weed Man Hippie and others that
have called the show, but nobody quite as famous from
Miami as the aforementioned Billy aka weed Man Hippie. So
we go there where Tua tongue of I Loa is

(03:29):
hanging on by his fingernails. His performance has been lacking.
The Dolphins are dismal to and seven to and seven
the Miami Dolphins, and that has reignited debate about the
future of Tua with the Dolphins. So if you haven't

(03:51):
been following the latest on this perhaps not both Tua
tongue of bylawa and and Dolphin coach Mike McDaniel attempting
to dispell the displeased fans of the Dolphins the notion
that the quarterback is in jeopardy of losing losing the

(04:11):
grip on the QB one status, that he's somehow in
jeopardy now. To address that this week, he said, quote,
I wouldn't say I'm playing to keep my job. Tongue
of a, Lois said, I think I'm playing to help
our team win every time. I think that's the objective
of every quarterback that's playing close quote Okay, so that's

(04:35):
a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
To a tongue of Bai, Lois says he's not not
playing to keep his Dolphin's job. Do you believe him?
Does anyone in the room believe him? I am looking
around the room here. I'm looking around, and I don't
see anyone in the room here with their hands raised.

(04:55):
So I've got merry, go round, criminal mastermind and tofu,
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we're gonna get a telescope and we're gonna stare at
the beaver moon. So you don't need a telescope to
stare at the beaver moon. It's right there in front
of you, that big beaver moon right there. So number

(05:18):
wa okay, So ask the question Tua saying that he
is not again he is not playing to keep the
Dolphins job. You believe him? That would be two letters
N plus oh no, no new. In fact, that is
exactly what a guy would say when he is playing

(05:41):
to keep his job, is it not? Oh, I'm not
playing to keep my job. Want to bet on that
Tua has been throwing like his arm has been buffering
in real time. You know, it's just not quite right.
It's kind of buffering. You're like, what are you doing here?
And it's the spin season. They don't get winter in
South Florida, but it's spin season spin season there. Every

(06:05):
time the numbers go down, down, down, they do the
downward dog. They go south. These cats in Miami they
talk about, you just try to help the team win.
That's all we want to do. We just want to
try to get better. To unscramble this for those that
do not have the trained ear that some of us
do have, if you look at this from an objective standpoint, right,

(06:29):
every time the performance goes down to unscramble it, what
they're saying is I can read the room and it's
not good. So instead, I'm just going to go to
sportscliche dot com, which, oh, by the way, we've contributed
some cliches over the years of sportscliche dot com. So
if you take the malar jumbo jet and put it

(06:49):
in this guy from thirty thousand feet up and you
look down, you know what this is. It's the Merry
Go Round. The Merry go Round, The Merry go Round,
the Merry go Round. So we are setting ourselves up
for an epic, silly season of reject quarterbacks. If you
enjoy the quarterback shuffle, we are set up pretty pretty

(07:11):
nicely for that, the QB Merry Go Round. So two
us headed towards that, the quarterback carousel. You're starting to
look ahead. We're past the midway point of the NFL season.
Who is going to be in the transfer portal? So
I'm on my big board, not a list, not a
list to Terry and England, not a list on my

(07:31):
big board at this point right now today, here are
the quarterbacks most likely, most likely that can be yours
if the price is right. So I've got Kyler, Murray,
Alligator Arms, Murray CJ. Stroud. Oh you can't say that, Okay,
ask mister irrigation about that, even Ivan the terrible things

(07:52):
he sucks. So Murray CJ. Stroud, Trevor Lawrence is the
third quarterback there and Tua Tongue bai lois number four.
Now if you want number five, number five. If you
want number five, that would be brock Purty.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Right.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Oh you you just signed the condrag. Oh my god. Yeah,
I'm just just putting out that the Niners offense hasn't
been all that much worse when brock Purty hasn't played.
That been great, but they haven't been that much worse.
And so it's like, why'd you pay brock party? And
if he doesn't come back and play at a high level,
you look at that in the offseason you say, Okay,

(08:33):
can we a find a sucker to take this dead
weight off our hands? And b if we do find
a sucker who were gonna play at quarterback? Do we
take one of these other rejecks. So there's a lot
of moving parts to that. Now, back to the Dolphins. Right,
So for now, the Dolphins suck, and Tua has already
got the money, money man money, one hundred and sixty

(08:54):
seven million guaranteed for a guy that can't play. It's wild, right,
I mean, is there any other big in America other
than Wall Street? I know my business. They don't. They
stopped giving raises years ago, but just in general, like
one hundred and sixty seven million guaranteed, my god, and
he never developed. And the only thing he's developed, I

(09:15):
guess is hemorrhoids. If he sits on the bench for
a while, to h he's cashing those checks. They backed
up a fleet, a convoy of Brinks trucks, and now
they've got a quarterback who, when he's on top of
his game, is a mid tier quarterback at best. They
have a lame dunk, lame lame duck coach, a guy
that you're doing a podcast about coffee and whatnot. The

(09:38):
GM was given a long walk off a short pier.
So the GM's going so it's no longer fins up.
It's fins flop. It's fins flop. Now, as a rule
of thumb, when a quarterback has to tell you that
he's not playing to keep his job. That is a
dead dear, what dead dear? What it is? He's here
in footsteps and how could you not how could you

(10:01):
not hear footsteps if you're to a tongue of by load.
Now turning the page, we head to the peach state
of Georgia. We go to Georgia. Trade deadline of course gone,
and they're doing a lot of analyzing under the microscope
of what happened and what didn't happen. And one of
the great failures, one of the great debacles of the
NFL this year, is in Atlanta. I know Tommy in

(10:25):
Atlanta loves this unless he does it. Tommy used to call, well,
he used to send messages in on social media. But
then he drives a truck and they put cameras in
the truck so he can't interact with the show. You
can listen, but he can't interact anyway. Atlanta failed to
unload their veteran quarterback, which everyone assumed the only reason
you would bring this guy back is to trade him,

(10:46):
and you didn't do it, and now you're stuck with him.
So the question how would you describe Kirk Cousins time
with the Atlanta Falcons, which is still going on. The
Falcons heading to Germany to Berlin this weekend to play
a game against the Colts. As America outsources, football bad

(11:07):
football cult aren't bad this year, but Atlanta's pretty mediocre,
all right. So here's the deal. So after citing Kirk Cousins,
they already had their quarterback, and then they drafted Michael
Penick junior after they agreed to deal with Kirk Cousins,
so that made him that made Initially Cousins was the starter,

(11:28):
and then eventually, obviously not long after that mid season
last year, Michael Pennick's junior took over. Now Cousins is
basically an expensive house plant, is what. He make sure
to water the house plan every now and again. So
the booby prize, the booby prize in the money pit,
Kirk Cousins. You know what this guy is. They should

(11:48):
teach classes. Someday, they will teach classes about how to
how to pull a fast one on the people in
professional sports. Kirk Cousins is a criminal mastermind. What are
you talking about? He's just a harmless football player. He's
a criminal mastermind. He doesn't wear a hoodie. He doesn't

(12:09):
wear a ski mask, he doesn't have a handgun, he
doesn't have a knife, doesn't have any kind of bloody
knuckles or any of that. And when this is all done,
he is likely walking away at the end of the
year with ninety million, ninety million bucks. And how many
starts did the Atlanta Falcons get. Assuming Cousins doesn't play

(12:30):
anymore this year, Pennix Junior will be back, and he
has returned last week. He'll continue on. So that would
be ninety million dollars for fifteen starts. Now, using malar math,
very important, this malor math. Using malar math, that works
out the six million dollars per start. That's assuming he
doesn't start another game. So over a full seventeen game season,

(12:54):
we're talking about one hundred million dollars. That is some
serious pork barrel spending, is what that is, right, that's
right out of Capitol Hill's that's DC politics, pork barrel spending.
And imagine Arthur Blank. Now I know he didn't start
Home Depot by himself, but he was one of the

(13:15):
early people on Home Depot. He and a partner. So
if Arthur Blank ran Home Depot the way he runs
his football team, the Atlanta Falcons. Every man, woman and
child when they need a two by four would be
going to lows. They wouldn't be going to home depot
because there would be no home depot. Atlanta essentially said, hey,
why don't we pay this guy as our franchise quarterback

(13:37):
and then we're not going to use him as that.
Don't get me wrong, we like him, but we're gonna
have him as our emotional support veteran quarterback. Yeah, that's
that's great. That's how's that going good? Yes? All right?
Brought in a very expensive insurance policy who initially was
not their insurance policy, and then started hobbling around on
the field and before you know it, he became the

(14:01):
insurance policy. All right now, final point to La La
Land we go high speed sports wire the LAA Rams announced.
The Rams announced this week that they signed kicker Harrison
MeVis to their practice squad. And this move comes after
Joshua Carty cost the Rams a game by his incompetent

(14:22):
slow kick against the Eagles that was blocked and returned
for a touchdown. One of the all time bad beats
gambling on NFL football, So bad you thought, scary Terry
might have been playing in the game. I kidd because
I care anyway. So the Rams have some special teams issues.
They play with forty nine ers this weekend, always a
great NFC West rival. You and those teams get together

(14:45):
and you look at it. We know Sean McVay is
evaluating outside options. So the question is, why would I
bring this up? Number one? Number two? Why should you care?
Why should anybody care about the Rams? Sign up kicker?
Harrison MeVis to the practice squad. So I'm gonna tell
you why. All right, I'm gonna tell you why because

(15:06):
this is not your average tofu eating kicker. This is
someone we can get behind. This guy's built like a
full back. He's the next great Fat Hope. He's the
next great Fat Hope. Harrison MeVis. He's known as the
Thicker Kicker. Now you know that's good. You know that's
a good name, The Thicker Kicker. He's five eleven, he's

(15:29):
listed at two forty, looks fatter than that and appears
if you look at him, he's built more like a
center on an offensive line, not lining up for fifty
field goals or fifty five yard field goals. So he's
basically the buffet line version of Brandon Aubrey the Cowboys
with that booming leg. Brandon Aubrey, Well, he's like that,

(15:50):
except he's just fat and he can actually kick. Some
of the numbers are pretty good. He hasn't had a
real opportunity in the NFL. He's been on some practice
squads and whatnot. He had a cult following at Missou
at Missouri there he's been bouncing around the Carolina Panthers,
the New York Jets, So those aren't really NFL teams.
The UFL's Birmingham Stallions. I would argue the Stallions are

(16:14):
closer to an NFL team than the Jets at this point. Anyway,
The point is get to the point, please. So the
point is this guy mivs Harrison MeVis is now in
LA and he's eating at the team facility, trying to
take Joshua Cardy's job away, and I'm here for it.
Kickers are not real football players, so why not just
change it up. The guy's not getting the job done.

(16:36):
The Rams kicker. Some of these dopey power rankings, which
I don't pay much attention to. One of you idiots,
I forget is I forget? I think it was Mike
it it might have been somebody else by this guy.
Mike sends me a lot of stuff, so it might
have been him. I think it was him. Anyway, he's
did you see foxsports dot Com at the rams number

(16:57):
one a top the power ranking. And then I wrote back,
whoopedie damn do one word? And which is more than
I usually. I don't usually right back to anybody. I'm
very bad about that bad. I don't usually write back,
but I wrote back, WHOOPI damn do one word because
that's my feeling of that. Whoopy damn do? I say,

(17:18):
let the thicker kicker eat. Let him eat all the
delicious meats and cheeses and all the fruits in the world.
Let him do it. He can ram it all day,
he can ram it all night at the buffet. I say,
no problem, as long as you kick it through the uprights.
That's it. This guy, because he's fat, the great fat
Hope the thicker kicker talking about Harrison MeVis. This guy's

(17:41):
a sideshow. If he nails a couple of kids, gets
an opportunity, and nails a couple of kicks, it's a
just add water situation, Just add water. And he becomes
an instant folk hero. I catch it. It's like a glitch.
We talked earlier on the Overnight show Up Alligator Arms,

(18:01):
Kyler Murray, the little fella. When you look at Kyler
bur and I've seen him play in person, I think
twice obviously on TV a lot. When you watch him,
it looks like your TV's broke. It looks like your
TV's broke. It's like, well, why is one of the
players the Is that an avatar that's not a real person.
They're too small? What's going on with that? So you

(18:24):
have that, and then on the other side you have
this kicker, Harrison MeVis, who also in a different way
because he's chubby. He's the thicker kicker. He doesn't look
like a kicker because you expect kickers to be little people,
little fun sized people, but he's not. It is The

he says, you'll say I'm in Boston. Then yeah, I
just said you're in But I know there's other parts
of Massachusetts. Anyway, Stan says, did you see the Stefan

(21:26):
Diggs story? Uh? And Stan, I did? I don't know
what you want me to do with that. He is
the father of our world. Stefan Diggson ending up in
the tabloids. Now, I guess he's I think he's had
the hear Lorrainer chiming. You saw the story of Lorrainer.
You saw the story Stan sent me here from the tabloids.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
I don't know if it's that story, but I saw
one that he allegedly has four different women pregnant at
the same time.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's gonna be interesting when they
all have Berken the game show.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
Yeah, daddy, Oh, we know who that is.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Within the last ten months ago or nine months ago,
he must have had quite a fun time there. Again,
busy man, I mean just bouncing around there. So now
Cardi b is she's got a butt in the oven?
Is that correct? Right? She's yes, Okay, She's.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
The most prominently in the media of the baby mamas.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah. So Stan sent me a story from the Daily
Mail in London, great tabloid. They say that a social
media influencer, which I guess anybody could be that Instagram
model gave birth to a baby girl. Stefan Diggs denied
he was the father. They took a paternity test and

(22:47):
sure enough he is. He is the father. There, so
there you go.

Speaker 5 (22:52):
And also congratulations to him for having such strong genes
to be able to pro create.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
There you go. So you're looking at the glasses half.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
Full the fact he has the opportunity. You know, some
people who gets he's a.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Professional athlete and uh, you know, I don't want to
speak for you women, but generally women more into that
type of profession. If let's put this, if sefon Days
was a plumber, do you do you think he'd have
I mean, it's possible. I guess it's conceivable. I don't
know that he'd have access to the things he has
access too.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
He might not have the same build either.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Does Cardi B care though, like she didn't. She just
go on TV, did an interview the other day on
some big network TV. I don't, I don't. Whatever it's she's.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
Definitely defending her and her man, even though yeah, it's
it's just messy, it's messy.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh she's got money. So I guess they.

Speaker 5 (23:47):
Say it doesn't matter because she has money. But you know,
stable homes are good for the children.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Is that right? Who's they do? We know who they
are we aware of who No, we don't know who
they are. Okay, all right, let's go act of the phones.
Let's go to Terry, who's in Minneapolis. Hello, Terry, welcome,
You're on the Ben Malor Show. We've got Mallard to
the third Degree coming up a little bit later in

(24:12):
the hour, Ben. How you doing, Terry? If I was
any better, I'd be a Twin, but not a Minnesota
twin because they're no good or a Viking san well,
at least the Vikings are like kind of average.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
You know, Yeah, I mean everybody's everybody's getting all this
hope because JJ had in I would say, a serviceable game.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, exactly right. Yeah. I felt the same way Terry, Like,
I'm getting a lot of you know, we we do
very well in Minnesota, Minneapolis and whatnot, and a lot
of Viking fans love the show, which is great. And uh,
they seem to think that maybe I thought maybe my
TV was broken because I saw I was flipping back
and forth. But when I saw the Vikings offense, I
didn't think it was like the greatest thing in the world.
And then all these people, oh man, we got our quarterback.

(25:02):
He looked great. I'm like, really, I didn't really he
was okay. At times, I didn't think he was the
greatest thing in the world. So the Viking fans, Terry,
the Viking fans, I gotta give you credit. Bad that
I did the morning show there on k Fan. We
were over there with the meat sauce and the guys,
and I could not believe how many Viking fans showed

(25:23):
up to Vegas at four in the morning. It was wild.
It's craziness crazy. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (25:28):
I actually I got switched to the to the addreditation
of the last two weeks, so I got to see
I got to listen to you with them.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
It was great, my condolences. Yeah, it was very od
I was like the fourth guy in there, very awkward,
but it was fun. I had a good time with
the guys. Here. What's on your mind? What's on your mind?

Speaker 7 (25:41):
I just want I want.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
I called a few weeks ago, first time a long time,
and I wanted to. I said, I wanted to call
back and take the oath.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Okay, this is great, all right, now I'm glad you called.
You called back, you waited your turn, and now it
is time for the world to hear you on all
these different platforms. We're going to give you the oath.
Some people have disdain for the oath. Some people have
discussed for the oath. We do not have that. We

(26:09):
enjoy the oath. We love the oath. We enjoy the
We enjoy very much. So very simple. For those of
you that are new to the show. Years ago, there
was this guy in Michigan that called the show named
Jehattis John and he was one of the early guys
that was a fan of the show. And we kind
of cooked up the Mallard militia and all that stuff,
and so it's just kind of been a thing. And
then we had another guy, May he rest in peace,

(26:31):
one of our favorite callers, Skeeter in Montana. Dear old man.
Skeeter was a veteran. He had been in combat in
the military. And he heard me say the Mallard militia.
He's like, I want to be sworn in. I said, well, Skeeter,
we don't really, we don't do that. We don't have
an oath. And he said, I want to be sworn in. Okay, Well,
we cooked this up, so here we go. Let's do

(26:52):
it right now. We honor Skeeter, We honor jahadis John
there from Michigan back in the day, and Terry in
Minneapolis is about to be sworn in. So just repeat
after me. I state your name.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
I state your name.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Okay, so we're gonna start see, we're gonna start over.
See because when I see I state your name, that's
your name. See, that's you know.

Speaker 7 (27:13):
I don't I got you.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Okay, all right, here we go. Repeat after me. This
is very important. We take this very seriously. This is
not just a cheesy bit on an overnight radio show.
All right, Terry again, I'll start over. I state your name,
h Terry, do solemnly swear, do solemnly swear that I
will support and defend the Men Malor Show.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
And Dan were here.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Uh far out, Dave says, speaking of fraternity tests, I
bet if we did an ancestry Terry from Minneapolis and
hollering James are related. Well, that's come on, that's not
that's not nice. Alf the Alien, Opina says, now that
you've gotten the new listeners up to speed about the oath,
how about a little taste of the nickname Rundown for

(31:47):
those who don't listen to the weekend podcast. Well, we
have not done the rundown in sometime, as you know,
Alf that used to be a staple of the show,
and of course a lot of things used to be
the state of the show no longer the staple of
the show. However, for those of you that have not
heard the show before, one of the claim the fames
we have here is we don't have the biggest audience,
we don't have the biggest budget. We don't get raises

(32:10):
or bonuses or anything like that. They don't do that.
But what we do have is the most nicknames in
all of radio. We have the most nicknames in all
of radio. And these are all nicknames that I want
the record to show have been given to me. I
did not come up with any of these nicknames. These
are people that are fans of the show over my
many years here behind the powerful microphones of Fox Sports Radio,

(32:33):
that have sent these nicknames in. Not a single one
of them I came up with my own. There was
a guy named Richard the Racehorse. I don't know what
happened to him. He was in Detroit, one of the
great callers. He came up with a bunch of these.
There was Chuck, another gentleman from Milwaukee that used to
call the show, but he was spent time in Seattle.
He gave a bunch of nicknames to me as well,

(32:53):
and here we go, all right, I don't have time
to do the whole nickname run down. I'm sorry, Alf,
but I will give you partial Marshall nickname run down.
These are some of my sixty eight nicknames I have
been called over the years. The Baron of Balderdash, Big
gall Bladder, Bennis the Menace, Benny beat Down, Captain Kneejerk,

(33:14):
Duke of the north Woods, General of Degenerates, Tycoon of Teas,
Master of Disaster, the Hustler of the Filibuster, night Light
of night Life, Pommeler of Producers, Benny Brightside, the Manatee
of Insanity, Marconi Maller, Moneyline Mallard, and in honor of

(33:34):
Masshole Mickey, he gave him the nickname before he passed away,
mass Hoole Mallard that is dear to my heart, Emissary
of Embellishment, Weak Night, wind Bag, Wizard of Wacky, Slayer
of Naysayers, Grand Gruber of gab Oli, Dark of Dark,
Tower of babel On, Honest Adonis, Senator of Sarcasm, Nocturnal Colonel,

(33:59):
the under of Monologue, and the Holy Pope of the
Slippery Slope. Those are some of my many names that
have been given to me over the years. We thank
you you have supported us and given us those nicknames. Outstanding,
absolutely outstanding. Scrooge rights and says at this point, let's
see what comes first, weed man's email or Blair's podcast

(34:24):
or GTA six. Yeah. I think we know the answer
to that, Scrooge. Yeah, well, we see the problem with
the weed Man in Blair is they're too lazy. Like
it takes literally five minutes to set up an email account,
and to do a podcast you just turn the mic
on and click record and feel simple. It doesn't matter
who cares, just do it anyway. Now, if you want

(34:46):
to do a professional podcast, it takes a little bit
longer than that and make it sound good. But if
you just want to do a podcast, just get the
stuff out and then boom done. That's it. It is
the Bean Mahler Show, talk about eating the profits Without
YouTube TV and that audience Monday Night Football, the audience
dropped twenty one point four percent in week nine. They

(35:09):
lost over twenty percent of the NFL audience in week
number nine, So who goofed? I've got them all in
a desperate attempt to get people to pay for ESPN
subscription service. So at least that's the conspiracy going around.
Why not? Uh, here's the Insta Trivia Raiders tight end.

Speaker 7 (38:37):
No.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
It is another nineteen eighties Raiders legend. That would be
Todd Christiansen. Christiansen who hated one of my buddies to
this guy Joe McDonald, who was a talk shows to
in LA. They did a show together, hated each other. Next,
let's go, come on, hit that button. Here we go.
How about that to the third degree?

Speaker 3 (38:58):
This is one I think Ben gets grilled.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
All right? Cool Ben.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
We are now in the fifth year of seventeen regular
season games, and it seems every year we talk about
someone who is on pace to break Calvin Johnson's single
season receiving record, but it never happens. This year, the
person on pace is Jackson Smith and Jigba Ben. Do
you think he gets it done?

Speaker 1 (39:17):
No? No, My answers always no, because you have a
better chance of winning. With no. You have two chances
of winning. You have underperformance, and you have injury. If
one of those two things happens, you don't break Calvin
Johnson's record. The only way you break the record is
sustained domination over the course of the season. So I'm
gonna go no. Plus, you got Sam Donald, Donald's gonna

(39:39):
have a couple of snickers along the way, guaranteed.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Next retired All Star Charles Oakley made a podcast appearance
this week where he slammed Charles Barkley for being a hypocrite.
Oakley pointed out that Barkley clowns this generation for teaming up,
but Barkley did the same thing when he teamed up
with Hakeem and Scottie Pippen and Houston Ben.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Does he have a point. No, those guys were washed off.
That's lane. Those guys were at the end of their careers.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Next, Miles Turner returned to Indiana for the first time.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
He got a chorus of booze.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
He said after the game, it was disheartening, frustrating. You
give ten years of your life, your blood, your sweat,
your tears were the booze uncalled for.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
No, this is Miles Turner. Deserved the booze. He went
to a division rival, he deserved the booze.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
So when
