Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, hour four of
our radio program, and you gotta play the hits. You
gotta play the hits, And an interesting story coming out
of the Bay Area, Northern California. The forty Niners were

(00:20):
in the NFC Championship game. They had the lead going
to the fourth quarter. They were in position to go
to the Super Bowl, and they pretty much announced that
Jimmy Garoppolo has gone, He's gonna be traded. Well, he
hasn't been traded. And there's a lot of spin spin
spin spin, mcspinney's mcspinney coming out of Northern California. Buy
or sell that the Niners swear that Jimmy Garoppolo is

(00:43):
drawing interest on the trade market. Buy or sell that
report about the Niners. We'll get to that and more
right now in our number four. Here it is gold,
but is it fools? Gold? Welcome man, the beginning of
another hour of the Bennet Mather Show. We are together

(01:05):
in the air everywhere as we try to secure the
bag coast, the coast, border to border in beyond on
the bastad. Monumentally powerful microphones of f s are emanating
live from the Bowl as in the Running of the

(01:26):
Bull Crap twenty four seven from the Fox Sports Radio
studios at a secret location somewhere in the north Woods.
Hope Paul as well with you. We're back at it
again here this hour and our lead coming out of
the Bay Area. A one time Tom Brady disciple from
the Patriots, the caddy to Tom Brady who went out

(01:50):
and got to the Super Bowl as the forty nine
or quarterback, and now he is on the quarterback carousel
as it grinds to a haul. We're talking about Jimmy
Garoppolo who is still looking for a job transfer. So
if you know a team that needs a quarterback, please

(02:10):
contact Jimmy Garoppolo and let him know. So if you're
not hurt the latest on this and maybe not, we
have we've had quarterbacks bouncing around the NFL. Matt Ryan
traded from Indianapolis, goes or traded from Atlanta to Indianapolis,
you should say. And then the Atlanta Falcons they said, hey,
we want some of that Marcus Mariotto, so they went
out and grabbed him. So that's two more teams off

(02:33):
the quarterback watch list and the forty nine ers. They're
leaking stories here if you've not been paying attention to
the Niners. For example, leak that Garoppolo has a generated
trade interest around the league, but the team is not
in a rush to move him and less they're blown
away by an offer. There's one report saying the Niners

(02:53):
are even thinking about keeping Garoppolo for another season just
in case Trey Lance doesn't work out. Another story claimed
that the team offered was offered not one, but two
two second round picks for Jimmy g but turned the
offer down wasn't good enough. So that story has been
bouncing around the echo chamber of sports conversation. So let

(03:16):
us discuss are you gonna buy or sell that Jimmy
Garoppolo is drawing strong interest and the Niners have turned
down multiple trade offers for Jimmy Garoppolo. All right, so
I am sell, sell, sell sell on this. This is
a penny stock sell it my take. You have registry, horticulture,

(03:42):
and medicine, and we will combine these three random things
and that will be how we make the Baba Ganoosh.
We're gonna make the Baba Ganoosh for Jerome and Kansas
City who left the show because some guys goofed on
him after he left the Chiefs gamerly that Chief spills
game early. Have not heard from him much since that

(04:03):
phone call. All right, so anyway we'll kick off with this.
It's this, this whole thing with the Niners and all
these stories. I keep reading bogus bogus, bogus, buggus, buggus, buggus,
bogus Buggas. With every minute that goes off the clock,
the value of Jimmy Garoppola goes down, down, down, down down,

(04:24):
And every man, woman and child that pays even a
little attention to the NFL knows that's the case. Don't
be a dope. Don't be a dope. When the Silly
Season began, we had a minimum of seven teams who
were thirsty for a new quarterback. They were either contemplating
a quarterback change, or some like the Pittsburgh Steelers, had

(04:46):
no choice. They had no choice. They had to get
a new quarterback. And all of those teams huddled up.
They all got together there and they sat around a
big boardroom table, or they did their zoom calls and
took part in their their due diligence. They made phone calls,
they exchange text messages with other teams, talk to agents,
talk to people in the media, and all these different

(05:08):
things were bouncing all over the place, bouncy bouncy, and
the conclusion, the conclusion was that Jimmy Garoppolo was not
not the man all right. Instead, Garoppolo ended up on
the national do not Call registry that his name popped
up on that do not call, do not call, do

(05:28):
not call. Why radio active? Radioactive? Jimmy j environmental pollutant.
Because the way this works, and I've been around these parts,
this part of the neighborhood for a long time over
the years, and the most valued quarterbacks are the first
quarterbacks to change teams. For example, Russell Wilson this year

(05:53):
was the most valuable quarterback in the NFL offseason. He
was the first one to change teams, and the eyes
of the NFL that was the player to get. The
Broncos got him. And so that's that's the beginning of
that's the origin of this. And here we are in
the silly season. We're about a little over a month away.
We're getting into the later part of March. The NFL

(06:14):
drafts in late April, and so Jimmy Garoppolo is still
hanging out. It's like, hey, what about me? All right? Now, furthermore,
the Niners. Here's the problem with the Nighters and all
these stories that they are desperately getting out to the media.
The Niners have no leverage here because they've already revealed
their hand and now they're trying so well, maybe we'll

(06:35):
keep him, Maybe we'll hold on to Jimmy Garoppolo. Okay, sure, yeah, okay,
I'm sure that's the case. So everyone knows the plan here.
They traded a gaggle of draft picks to the Dolphins
to get the right to draft Trey Lance. They let
him sit and marinate for a year on the bench
and played him sporadically, and so now here's his opportunity.
So you look around. You don't need me to tell

(06:57):
you this. There are two teams left with clear and
obvious gaping holes at quarterback. Two teams that stand out
from the pack like a sore thumb. One of them
is the Seattle Seahawks, who traded the aforementioned Russell Wilson
to Denver. The other is the outhouse known as the
Carolina Panthers. And that's it. That's the list right there.

(07:20):
That's all, so the forty nine ers would be breaking
the norms of a honest football society if they were
to trade Garoppolo in the division. Very rarely does that happen.
I can think of one example off the top of
my head, when Bill Belichick sent Drew Bledsoe to the
Buffalo Bills. The legend of that is that Belichick knew

(07:42):
that Bledsoe was washed up by that point, and so
he didn't mind trading him in the division. But normally
that's taboo. You can't do that. So if that's the case,
if the Niners followed the norms of football and cannot
trade Garoppolo to the Seahawks, that means the only team left,
the last team standing in the eliminator would be Carolina.

(08:06):
So you can play this cat and mouse game with Carolina.
That's the only hideout left for Garoppolo. Not exactly a
position of power for San Francisco on their side of things.
So we find it amusing the forty nine ers. What
they've been doing here with their pals and the media
is practicing horticulture. They've been planting stories here. They've been

(08:29):
planting stories about Jimmy g and his value and all
of this. They're living in a fantasy land, is what
they're doing. And they're using the technique that if you
speak it into existence, it could happen, right, You got
to speak it into existence that strategy. No. Yeah, we
were offered two second round picks for Jimmy Garoppol, but

(08:51):
we chose not to do it though we value him.
He's worth more than that. Yeah, okay, I'm sure that's
the case. Wink wink, nod. Not all right, parting shot
on this. So reading the room right now, reading the
room right now, it appears the odds indicate Jimmy g
is most likely to be released, that this will be
an outright release. Swallow the pill, take your medicine, however

(09:13):
you want to say it. Jimmy Garoppolo is in the
damaged appliance section. Like you're to these stores. They have
a scratch in dent section a lot of these big
box stores, so you go into the scratch in dent
section and you can buy stuff. You're not sure if
it if it's gonna work. In his case, his arm,

(09:35):
you don't know if his arm is gonna work. He
had an operation after the playoffs ended, because they were
still in the playoffs right up until the NFC title game.
And so nobody's gonna send any meaningful goodies for a
broken down quarterback. Garoppolo he had the operation and we
will not watch him throw. I'm not gonna watch him

(09:55):
throw at all, but maybe you will not watch him
throw the duke for at least three months. So the
forty nine ers have to clear the runway for Trey Lance.
If Garoppolo is still hanging around malingering, you haven't cleared
the runway. You have to clear the runway. So no
one's breathing down Trey Lance's neck because he's gonna suck

(10:15):
at certain points and when he stinks, then if Garoppolo's
hanging around it, what about Jimmy ch do that old thing? So,
for better or worse, the Niners they have to cross
the rubicon. They have to get rid of Garoppolo. You
wonder if the Patriots, like a team like the Patriots,
would take him back, just thinking out law out loud

(10:36):
here like he was the guy, that was the guy.
Now the Patriots have a new guy and Mac and
cheese mac Jones, so they got the new guy. But
would you do it? And you say, well, no, Belichick
wouldn't do that because of the money involved in that.
So then he's saying, well, there's a bunch of ex
patriot executives around the NFL with a team like Houston
who didn't want Baker Mayfield, would they be interested? Because

(10:59):
right now it's only Carolina that's it. That's the list
of teams as far as a trade's concerned, and so
the Niners have to do something. Keeping Garoppolo around would
be a waffling of your commitment to trade lands. It's
just not based in reality. So the cement has been laid.

(11:21):
These cement has been laid, and so we are of
the mindset that the most likely scenario outside of a
trade to Carolina is release, release, release. And if you're
a salary cap if you're not a salary cap truther,
if you believe the almighty all powerful salary cap, then
you'd say they have to trade him, even if it's
for a conditional seventh round pick, just because of salary

(11:44):
cap reasons, they won't be able to sign anybody. The
doomsday scenario blah blah blah blah blah. All right, Tivoting
away from that, there's another story that's been bouncing around
here and involves the team in Washington formally known as
the Redskins, formerly known as the football team. Now they're
commanders or commandos orhever you want to say it. And
so the Washington NFL franchise acquired Carson Wentz you might

(12:08):
remember that, talked about it on the show from Indianapolis,
and that cleared the path for the Colts to go
out and get the Falcons quarterback Matt Mattie Ice Matt
Ryan there. And so there's a story that's been bouncing
around here that Washington, when they put that big list
together try to find a quarterback that it was brought

(12:29):
up in conversation to go after and Drew Luck and
Drew Luck and this has been repeated now, it's been
bouncing around and it was described as an option trying
to convince Andrew Luck to come out of retirement. And
was asking whether it was a realistic or a Lloyd Christmas.

(12:51):
So you're telling me there's a chance type of scenario.
All right. So now Washington's been ripped, and I know
Dan Snyder's a punching back, but I'm not gonna rip
Washington for this. And I'll tell you why. That's a
good that's wonderful. What if it's a case where I've
told the story before. I've heard from people in the
NFL that the Colts the reason they keep bringing in
these these one year quarterbacks is because deep down, Jim

(13:14):
Mercy thinks that Andrew Luck is going to come back,
and he's just keeping the seed open with nobody long
term because he wants Andrew Luck to come back and
be the quarterback. It an't. But what if in this
parallel dimension, Andrew Luck doesn't want to play for the
Colts actually, and he's being nice and he's got friends
there and all that, but he just doesn't want to
play there anymore. He wants to go somewhere else. And

(13:36):
if you're why would you want to play in Washington?
You say, well, just you know, if you're Dan Snyder
and you're you know, smoking whatever you're smoking, why not
explore that. I don't think that's crazy. I don't think
that's outrageous. Now. I think the part of it where
the Colts would actually trade Andrew Luck the rights to
Andrew Luck would that's a little out there. Yeah, that's

(13:58):
a little out there. But Andrew Lucks thirty two he's
hasn't played in a number of years. Right, played last
NFL game was January of twenty nineteen. Here we are
in March of twenty twenty two. And remember he quit
right before the twenty nineteen season, right before a couple
of weeks before and seven years in the NFL. That's it.

(14:19):
But if you're watching it, I mean, I'm not gonna
rip them for you know, passing it out there. These
these kind of these types of scenarios happen all the time,
and I guess repeated, Oh, I can't believe that. Ah,
that's outrageous, right, that's not outrageous. All right. This is

began the hour here ranting about Jimmy Garoppolo and his

(15:49):
situationan with the forty nine ers. The Niners keep putting
these stories out that everyone's interested in him, but nobody's
traded for him, and there's only realistically one team left
to trade Garoppolo two, and that would be the Carolina Panthers.
It's an awkward situation. Lou Lou says, you're so wrong
about Jimmy g You're so wrong, he says, if the

(16:13):
San Francisco defensive back catches a horrible Stafford miss throw,
the Niners are in the Super Bowl. And if ifs
and butts were candy and nuts, Lou, it would be
Christmas every day, but it's not, says, the Niners will
never just release Jimmy G. Don't be jealous of his
good looks. He's better looking than ninety nine percent of
US males. Listen, Lou, I don't get if you're into

(16:34):
Jimmy G. If he's your type, blue, that's on you, man,
Good for you. But the Niners, they've won a fair
amount of playoff games with Garoppolo, not because of Garoppolo.
With Garoppolo, there's a difference. The sat Giants fan says
a plus on the monologue, No way Jimmy G is
worth one second, let alone multiple second round picks when

(16:56):
Matt Ryan just got traded for a third. Ryan might
be older, but the Giant fan says, but Jimmy has
more wear on him with multiple injuries. They're speaking into
existence or they are keeping him Jimmy because they don't
trust Trey Lance. Cross eyed Miles writes, and he says,
great monologue. Totally agree with the whole thing. Good job.

(17:18):
Ps Marcel still socks. I don't know if Marcell wears socks.
Says Marcel hates children, and Blair rules rather harsh. Mark
writes in He's a self titled a hole. He says,
Jimmy is going to be starting in San Francisco. There's
no reason for them to trade him. Trey Lance is awful. Well,
if Mark said it, then you nebes in Ohio. He's

(17:40):
a Steeler fan. He lives in Ohio. He says, I'll
give this monologue a bee for the topic side. He
is the scratch and dent. It doesn't work as good
as a new but it's not damaged enough to not
work at all. Something tells me they overreached for Trey
Lance and they don't want to admit it. Well, that

(18:04):
is the case. If we're getting here in the training
camp in July and in August and the season begins
in September, and if Garoppolo is still on the team,
then they've totally fed up on the draft pick, because
to give the guy a fair shot, you got to
get rid of Garoppolo. Otherwise Garoppolo is going to be
lingering around and the first bad game as we said

(18:26):
in the monologue, the first bad game that pops up,
they'll be calls for a quarterback change, all right now,
speaking of change, Urban Mayer Urban Myer. So there's a
new hit piece out attacking Urban was reported behind a
paywall on the Athletic and they claim multiple sources, I

(18:48):
always love multiple sources told them that urban Meyer, when
he was coaching in Jacksonville, was unfamiliar with a number
of star players around the NFL. They named three of them.
They said that Urban did not have any knowledge of
Deebo Samuel of the Niners, Jamal Adams, the safety for Seattle,

(19:14):
and Aaron Donald of the Super Bowl champions. And the
story quoted claimed to quote someone who shotted down what
urban Meyer had to say, and Urban supposed to he said,
who's this ninety nine guy on the rams. I'm hearing
he might be a problem for us. Close quote. So
this guy reported the story and as I know, Urban's

(19:36):
funny rip on Urban and all that, but this sounds
like the most ridiculous story. It sounds like a couple
of writers from the Athletic who have no concept of sarcasm.
And some people in the NFL, like, are we supposed
to believe that that urban Meyer was not joking, that
this was not sarcasm, Like, Hey, I think that ninety
nine guy on the RAMS is pretty good. I think

(19:57):
he might cause this problem. That sarcasm is sarcasm not
a lot. Is the NFL such a tight wad they
got sticks up their dairy air that you can't joke
around with the sarcasm is that where we are in
the NFL. Come on, it's ridiculous, It's it's absurd. No,
I don't know. I've never met Urban I've interviewed him

(20:19):
a few times over the years, so I guess I
have met him through the radio, but it was on
the phone. But I mean, I find I find that
hard to believe. And even if that is the case,
I think they do they're they're scouting before the games.
But I think that was just just a bit of sarcasm.
There's no room for that in the NFL. And these

(20:40):
these hit jobs are easy. I've got buddies of mine
that are sports writers. It's the easiest thing in the
world because on any team, whether you're good or bad,
it's all about the agenda. The editor says, hey, do
a hit piece on Urban myer. Okay, I'll find the
people in the lock of the party. A lot of
people that don't like Rbomer, but there's also people who
probably thought he was a good coach. Funny, you know

(21:01):
he was, He did fine. You could also write the
story that way if you wanted, if that was your agenda,
that you know, Urban didn't get a fair shake in
Jackson when people were out to undermine him. You can
write that story. You can find people in the locker
room who are sources that would back that up. Any
coach anyway, Bill Belichick, Right, you can write stories about
Belichick grade he's made me as a player. I was

(21:22):
a nobody with the Patriots, for example. But you would
also write the story that he's a hard ass, he's
a drill sergeant, he's outdated, you know, he's antiquated, he's
the typewriter in the Internet age. He's that guy. Just
depends on your agenda. But when I saw that part
of the story, I thought, well, that's sarcasm. That's that's
you know, hey, oh boys, ninety nine is pretty good

(21:43):
over there on the ninety nine guy. That's what that
sounded like. To me. All right, let's take some phone
calls here, we'll go right to the phones at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. We will tell you that
the voting will be up soon. On the Bennis it
is the highest honor on the show. We have many
categories this year. We have some new categories, and we'll

(22:05):
have some of it on social media where you'll just
be able to vote, like on Twitter for certain categories,
but other categories you will be able to vote exclusively,
one vote per customer. In the past, we've had people
rigged the vote, so we want to avoid that. So
we'll get to the calls here in a minute. And
we also have site, The Bite, the great sports radio

(22:27):
mystery site, The Bite. But I went a little along
in my ranting about urban Meyer and sarcasm and how
certain people just don't get sarcasm. We used to have
a boss here I forget her name, Eddie, but she
never got the sarcasm. I always deal in sarcasm. She'd
never I forget her name, but she never got the sarcasm. Here.
It was very odd everything z Dog, everything was serious

(22:48):
and very very awkward. Never heard of them. Yeah, I
forget her name. Be sure to catch live editions of

Coach Conkle. Yeah, he had a state kids, the state
hiring Jerome Tang as their new head basketball from Tangy
move right there. I love tank. That was a big
My mom on that because it went to the astronauts
said he was invented for the astronauts and it had

(24:15):
a lot of sugar and it was wonderful. Did they
still make tang? Is that still the thing? Probably? I
don't know. No, it's gone. How could they not make
tang anymore? That's my mom realized how much sugar wasn't
that thing. He's like, all right, this is no more.
It's just drinking up. It's like going to the bakery
isle the grocery store and getting a bag of sugar
and just drinking it. They still have tan flavor. They
still have it. They still have it. Yeah. My mom's

(24:37):
oh yeah, the orange powder. Orange powder, Yeah exactly. And
they said my mom sold me. Oh it's for spaces, oh,
the astronauts. I'm like an astronaut. I'm drinking tang. Oh yeah.
Oh up. Breaking news, Kooba Loop. Let's go to the
news desk Kooba Loop. Uh So, breaking news from Fox Sports.

(24:58):
It's a sales of Tang report until NASA used it
on John Glenn's Mercury flight in February nineteen sixty two
and on subsequent Gemini missions since then. It has been
closely associated with the human space flight program, which created
the misconception that Tang was invented for the space program.
Oh look at that. My mom lied to me. How
dare you? Mom? My life is a lie coop? My

(25:21):
mom lied to me about tang. Unfortunate? How will I
go on with life? Uh? Good luck? Did Jerome tan
good White? Lie? Right? You tell parents tell their kids? Yes,
there was one other coaching higher. This is the only
name I've actually heard of. Kevin Willard is your new
head coach at Maryland? Mark Willard will Yeah, my buddy

(25:44):
Mark Willard. Yeah, Mark Willard did Yeah, Yeah, that's yeah,
Bay Area radio legend. Mark Willard clearly, all right, thank
you for that. Eighty is they Bannet Mather's show on Fox.
I always love athletes when they say stupid things. And
Russell west Break is at it again. So the Lakers

(26:05):
have had a crappy season, and that's this reality. And
so they beat the Cavaliers in a game on Monday night,
and Russell Westbrook seemingly with a straight face, told reporters,
he said, quote nothing better than shutting people up? Was
the was the quote? So let me get this straight.

(26:35):
So Westbrook plays decently for a couple of games, and
now he's shutting people up. Okay, I never mind the
fact that while Westbrook was playing decently for those couple
of games, Lebron's been playing out of his mind. No, no, no,
but no, no, he's Cooper Loop. He's shutting people up.
Westbrook nothing better. Yeah, yeah, it wasn't the thirty eight
point triple double from Lebron? No, no, of course not.

(26:58):
All right, and the phones we go, and let's say
hello any meany miney mo. Let's say hello to Wade,
who's up next in Athens? Hello Wade? What's going on? Welcome?
Ben Maller, what's going on all buddy? Hello Wade? And
athing Hey, hey man, I just want to know your

(27:20):
opinion on mister Trubisky and the Steelers. And I'll take
your ass off here. All right, thank you. That's one
of my one of my five favorite radio cliches. I'll
take your answer off here right next the first time
long time. I always love that. Here we go, Here
we go Steelers. Here we go. Yeah, all right, now, Wade,

(27:40):
you can go back on the podcast archive. I did
a rant about mister Bisky, but I think the line
that I remember from that was instead of the terrible Towels,
they'll be the Trubisky Towels. No, I mean, mister Bisky's
an average NFL quarter and the Steelers will try to
win using the same intre that the Tennessee Titans and

(28:02):
the Indianapolis Colts try, where they're gonna win with great defense,
they're gonna run the ball. But the problem with that
is at some point mister Bisky is gonna have to
win a game for you. And that's always the million
dollar question. Is he good enough to do it? And
Tennessee has Ryan Tannill. He's pretty good during the regular season,
he's not good enough in the playoffs. Indianapolis needed Carson

(28:23):
Wentz last year to win a game in Jacksonville. Guess
the worst team in football to step up couldn't do it,
and that happens more times. Not so, Yeah, dude, am
I betting on mister Bisky. No, but the Steels will
win a bunch of games. I don't doubt they'll win
a bunch of games running the ball and with defense
and special teams being great and all those things. But
at some point the quarterbacks are gonna have to step up.

(28:43):
And I don't believe in mister Bisky. So that's my point.
Off the Airwade, all right, let's go to Kevin. He's
in Omaha, Nebraska, one of the great cities and America.
What's going on, Kevin? Welcome? What's up? I tell you
no wit mane. What I want to ask you is,
how did you get to start in radio? I really

(29:05):
want to know. Well, very simple, you think about that first.
You think about that first. I'll think about that. I
already know the answer to that. But if you want, fine,
I'll think about it. Go ahead, talk. I see you
didn't mess you. He didn't pitch your crew off the
nightcazin't talking to him much. But what else I'm saying?
Were you talking about? We've met plenty of conversation. He

(29:26):
talk to much tonight. For real? Wait a minute, what
do you want? Go ahead? Talking about your Go ahead?
I'm not done. I'm gonna say, Hey man, what I'm
gonna say? Yeah? Uh, that that Matt Ryan trade, that's
that's that's the number one trade right there. And uh,

(29:49):
Kevin you are you're you're this is a scattershot phone call. Kevin,
you're you're doing a scattershot You look at this, it's
like a plenty of time. Go ahead and take time.
I have to charge you and give you to much information.
You got plenty of time. Go ahead, what do you
want to do? Ronte Adams? That's another good trade. Those
are the two best trades I think in the NFL.

(30:10):
Adams and whatever. And Matt Ryan, Matt Ryan, is your
talking the best trade, man. That's that's the match moon.
Come on, listen. I hate to say this because it's
gonna give Cooper big head, but get in a quarterback
who's a decent NFL quarterback. They haven't had in Denver
in years. That's the trade right there. Yeah, quarterback man,
he's just happy to be in Denver. You know, Denner

(30:31):
was the same little club they're not. They had a
bunch of j Brunis at quarterback. Now they got a
legitimate quarterback. Yeah. I'm not the biggest Russell Wilson guy
in the world, but he's much better than the congo
line of dopes that were playing quarterback for the Broncos. Yeah,
there's a couple of things I'm gonna tell you about.
I got more. You had a lot of materials, too

(30:52):
much time. I want to take it so much time.
I was gonna tell you. Uh, I haven't got about
that that we made. I told you I'm gonna send
you hadn't how you wind? I'm still gonnerstand it? Will
I be eighty years old by the time that had
a rise. I think I might. No, man, seventy you

(31:13):
already said one more thing. You can't say one more
thing again. You already said this should be a second
more thing? What all time in especial leader in the NFL?
Who is he? I gotta go, Thank you, Kevin. You're
all over the place. Hey, he never told your story.
He doesn't know, he said. He wants me to think
about the story. I don't need to tell the story.

(31:36):
He just wants me to think about how I got
my starting radio. So I'm gonna think about it, and
then eventually maybe I'll tell the story at some point.
But he doesn't want me to tell he said, just
kind of think about it. So I'm gonna think about it,
and uh, and that's what I'm doing. Anyway, all right,
it is the band Mallards show. You see, John Calipari
is taking some more heat in Kentucky. Coach call getting

(32:00):
some tough love there. He dodged a bunch of questions,
live questions on his radio show, and people are saying, well,
when you win, you answer all the questions. What's going
on that? But he has a weekly live radio show
and he takes questions on the show, and it's well,

(32:21):
do a live, We'll do it live, and you know
that whole rant from from years ago. But after losing
to the peak cocks, unable to stop the cocks of
Saint Peter's there, he goes on the radio show instead
of instead of answering questions, apparently he was on the
road recruiting, and so the The Coaches Show was recorded

(32:47):
in the afternoon, and as the old character on Saturday
Night Live, the church lady said, isn't that convene yet? Yeah?
I think that would be a very convenient for Coach
cal to dodge the radio show. If I told you
about Vegas, have I done that? I've done that, Yes,
No I've not, Yes, I have done that. All right,
you know I love talking about Vegas. So much every
once in a while, every ten minutes, I gotta talk
